therefore, is one most just and equitable stimulant
to seek repeal." This may be a " just and equitA
able stimulant " for the CatlAie) but We
help thinking that it is tiot taleuiated tai sti--
mtilatq the Protestant;

. -
With what cOntiqtri;Z:y, then, can Mr. O'CoN-
Nti.i. call upon the Protestants, whose co,opet:a-
tion he holds to be ahsol.titely neeeSsary to the Vvii.,-
doin and justif;.:;,, if not to the sikee?..s of the cause,
to lend hitn :a 'helping How can he assert,
as he &'e.§ a liitAe farther on, that " Irish Ptotet.,
tantS ttUst be made to fee) theff properties,
',heir rights, and their religlon, will not be injured
by the Repea' t!'" a.nd, " that they have nothing
to lat,m its sectarians." Is it not obvious to the
thillest capacity that the firgninent makes as much
against him with the one party as it does for him
with the other

It would be easy to point out many other in-
stances of false or inconclusive reasoning ; but it is
not necessary, for few readers can peruse the
Learned Gentleman's epistle without seeing its fal-
lacies and its blunders. Its fundamental doctrine
—so to speak—involves an absurdity. The very
foundation on which he tries to build the
whole superstructure of Repeal is a blunder.
" The English," he says, in effect, " refuse to
give us Corporate Reform, and some other things
which we very much desire, and which we have a
right to. As we cannot get these things, we must
get Repeal." When this logic is interpreted, it
amounts to the following syllogism :—" We have
asked for a penny, and have been refused, therefore
we shall receive a pound."
We are decidedly opposed to the repeal of the
Union, and to all attempts to effect it—first, be-
cause we know it to be utterly impracticable ; and,
secondly, because, supposing it practicable, were it
to take place it would be the greatest calamity that
could befal Ireland. We are, however, far from
entertaining any fears as to the result of the pre-
sent ill-advised attempt to resuscitate repeal agita-
tion. The people of Ireland are not such fools as
to follow even their idol and benefactor in such a
wild-goose chase. They have much to complain
of—many grievances to be redressed—but they have
yet to be persuaded that separation from Great
Britain (for that is the point to which Mr. O'CoN-
NELL'S arguments apply, though they are ostensi-
bly directed towards a Repeal of the Union), would
be a remedy for their evils, and would not rather ag-
gravate them a hundred fold.

If the Police Magistrates and Police Commis-
sioners go on as they have commenced, the New
Police Act will be made to serve the wildest pur-
poses ever contemplated by Sir ANDREW AGNEW
or Mr. PouLTEa. The landlord of a well fre-
quented house on Hampstead-heath was fined 40s.
on Saturday at Maryiebone Police-office, for
serving dinner to several gentlemen on the afternoon
of Sunday. One Magistrate did not consider the
Act applied to the case, but another (Mr. CODD),
who, we presume, is an Agnewite, was of a diffe-
rent opinion, and consequently inflicted the fine
so that
.under pretence of enforcing the
Police Act, which does not contain one new enact-
ment on the subject, the inhabitants of London,
who go thither for their health and recreation, are
to be debarred from all refreshment for two hours.
Yesterday, too, the Police Commissioners stuck up
notices in the Strand, forbidding all cabs, carriages,
omnibuses, &c., to pass the two churches between
Catherine-street and Temple-Bar, during the hours
of Church service, and posted constables at each
extremity to enforce their order. The public may
well ask what they will do next. The supporters
of the GovernilTnt are utterly at a loss to divine
why the Whig Ministers allowed some of the clauses
of the New Act to pass, and why the Home Secre-
tary remains silent, while public feeling is outraged
by the absurd interpretation of others. Perhaps no
Government ever was in such an anomalous position
as regards religious matters. While the Tory
Clergy and the Tory Magistrates denounce them
as the enemies of the Church and religion, they
are denounced, and not without reason, by the
Liberal party as supporters of the extravagant
claims of the Church—of antiquated observances,
and of the most annoying and needless restrictions
on the harmless amusements and recreations of the
great body of the people.

Among the most curious accounts received tWs
morning from the East, we cannot omit especially
noticing a statement that BOUTINIEF, the Russian
Ambassador at the-Porte, is one of the most active
of the persons who are seeking to convince
the Governments of France and. England,
that they ought forthwith to order the com
Nned squadron now at the mouth of the Darcla-
, miles to proceed to Alexandria to compel the re-
storation of the Turkish fleet, or to burn both it
and the Egyptian navy in the harbour. The secret
reason assigned for the recommendation of this
line of policy is characteristic. Russia can-
not conveniently throw a ".protecting force"
into CoriStantinople while the combined fleet
remains at Tenedos.; but were it to depart
for Alexandria, she could at once convey the im-
mense military force now concentrating on the
frontier, to the Turkish capital without encounter-
ing the shadow of opposition. What under these
circumstances ought England and France to do ?
Give orders to the Admirals to take advantage of
the first favourable wind, and bring the combined
fleet to anchor in the Golden Horn. There only
will they be able to laugh at the machinations of
Russia.

There is an absolute dearth of political news of
any interest in the French Papers. The following
telegraphic dispatch from the official columns of the
Moniteur of Saturday, contains all the intelligence
communicated from the Spanish frontier :
PERPIGNAN, SEPT. 25.
THE GENRRAL COMMANDING THE 21ST MILITARY DIVISION

TO THE MINISTER OF WAR.
On the 23d the Carlist chief Segara took possession of
San Juan de las Abadesas. The fort of Campredon still
held out ; on the 24th Count d'Ecipagne had his head-
quarters at Olot, and General Carbo was at Vich. Valdez
marched on the 16th from Manresa to Cervcra.
The Commander of Campredon writes, that on the 24th
the Carlists had retired and raised the siege of the fort.
Valdez left Vich on the 22d, and proceeded with his
column in the direction of Berga.
The popular dread of famine led to various
tumults in different parts of France during the last
week. Troops were required to preserve the public
peace at Alencon, at Blois, at Tours, at Donde-
vine, and at Senlis. In Belgium the price of corn
had reached the maximum towards the close of the
week, and while it continues at that rate, or ex-

ceeds it, the exportation of grain is illegal. This
is regarded as peculiarly unfortunate by the French
Government, as time has not been allowed for the

importation of flour from the United States. In
Paris the price of bread was lower on Saturday
than during the week, bul the working classes re-
garded the relief as temporary, and as resulting
rather from an arbitrary decision on the part of the
Government than from any increase in the quantity
or decrease in the demand for flour.
In connection with the scarcity of grain, the com-
mercial correspondent of a Contemporary communi-
cates the following intelligence respecting the State
of the Money Market in Paris on Saturday, which
is at this moment painfully interesting :
The bankers, who advanced the 50,000,000!. to Eng-
land, have had a meeting, at which the principal question
was to ascertain whether the bills would be renewed
on their falling due. A difference of opinion prevailed at
first; some of the most influential houses insisted upon the
repayment of their advances, but the opinion of the ma-
jority was, that the embarrassed state of the London
Money Market, in addition to a bad harvest, and the ne-
cessity of foreign purchases of corn, would prevent the
Bank of England from paying at the stated time, and con-
sequently it would be wiser to grant further accommodation.
It was, therefore, resolved that a quarterly renewal of the
bills would be allowed.

Affairs at the Bourse are still heavy. Capitalists are
alarmed at the commercial crisis in London and the United
States. Failures arc apprehended, and money becomes
scarcer from day to day.
French rentes are declining by degrees.
It would appear that M. Passy, the Minister of Finance,
is determined to redeem his pledge with respect to the
conversion of the rentes Five per Cents. ; and that he
will propose a measure on that subject in the approaching►
session. The King is well aware of this intention, and
will exercise his veto against it, as it is his firm resolve
not to sanction a reduction during his reign, or fall out
with the good citizens of Paris.
The Spanish funds are evidently on the decline ; there
are many sellers, but few buyers.
The affairs of the East occupy a considerable
portion of the Paris Journals of Friday and Satur-
day, but they contain no new fact, and elicit no
extended or novel view of the details of this impor-
tant question. The Court gossip, and other scraps
of news which impart some degree of animation to
these journals, are all included in the following ex-
tracts:—

The King and Queen of the French left St. Cloud at

a suite of nine carriages. Their Majesties reached that

artillery of the Egyptian fleet is on the French model ;
that of the Turks on the English model. The Egyptian
guns are all of one calibre (32 pounders). Those of the
Turks are of different calibres (12, 18, and 24 pounders).
Every Turkish ship of the line has besides 48 inch mortars,
throwing bombs of from 501bs. or 601ba. weight. The
Egyptians have, therefore, the advantage in respect to their
guns, but in bsttle the advantage is compensated to the
Turkish ships by the bombs.—Constitutionnel, Sept. 28.
PROVISIONING THE Anmy.—The French Go-
vernment in consideration of the high price of provi-
sions has directed the Minister of War to levy a
supplementary credit of 2,643,000 f., which is to be
applied to the wants of the troops quartered in the
interior of the kingdom, and in the North of Africa.
NA VAL REGULATION,--A Royal Ordinance,
dated the 26th inst., published in the Monileur,
provides that the young seamen destined to serve
in the merchant navy, and intended to become
captains of merchant vessels, may hereafter be tem-
porarily employed on board the vessels of the mili-

tary navy, in the capacity of volunteers. In order
to be entitled to admission, they must not be under
eighteen nor above twenty-two years of age.
They are required to prove that they have na-
vigated durir:g eighteen months, either in military
or mercantile vessels, that they speak and write
the French language correctly, and that they can
observe the height of the stars, calculate the lati-
tude, &c.. The number of volunteers admitted into
the vessels of war is not to exceed one-half of that
of midshipmen. They are to rank immediately
after those of the second class, to discharge the
same duties, dine at the same table, and to be
treated like them in every respect. Their pay is
fixed at 40 francs per month, and, if disabled in

the service, they are to be pensioned by the State.
According to advices from Bayonne of the 25th
inst. Cabrera had established his head-quarters at
Valera, in .the province of Cuenca, and was then
at the head of 10,000 infantry and 1,200 cavalry.
The Governor of the fort of Guebara had been
permitted to send out 20 officers to ascertain the
real state of affairs, and it was thought that he
would surrender on hearing of the:retteat of Don
CARLOS into France.

Letters and papers from Madrid of the 21st inst.
have been received. The Chambers had then been
sitting for twenty-one days, and yet enough of De-
puties had not assembled to constitute a House
competent to adopt laws and vote taxes. In the
Madrid Gazette of the 19th, we find the following
Royal Decree, which may be regarded as an earnest
of the moderation of the Government, and of its
determination to abide by the stipulations of the
Bergara. Convention :

" ROYAL DECREE.
" Earnestly desiring that the peace which the provinces
in the north are beginning to enjoy should be secured and
strengthened throughout the whole kingdom, upon the in-
destructible basis of the lore and gratitude of the people;
and wishing to give an unequivocal proof of the sincerity
of my desire to forget all past disturbances, and to see in
all Spaniards obedient and faithful subjects of the 4hrone
of my august daughter Isabel IL, and also to show how
grateful and satisfactory has been to me the measure
adopted, amongst many others, by the Illustrious General
the Duke de la Victoria, of raising the sequestrations and
retainers upon property, effected through the orders of the
Government and military chief.; and agreeing in the
unanimous judgment of my Council of Ministers, and
until the law of amnesty which my Government is pre-
paring to present to the C'ortes is published, I have re-
solved as follows:

Art. 1. The measures adopted by the General-in-Chief,
the Duke de la Victoria, in the provinces of the North,
with respect to removing the sequestration and return of
property to its respective owners, are hereby confirmed.
" Art. 2. All decrees and resolutions, general or parti-
cular, which ordained the sequestration of property on
account of political motives in the provinces of the North,
which have submitted to the conditions of the Convention
of Bergara, stand repealed from the date hereof.
" Art. 3. Sequestrated property, or estates, shall im-
mediately devolve to the rightful owners so soon as they
acknowledge the constitutional government of my august
daughter Donna Isabella 11., and claim such property.
" Art. 4. This recognition of my government, and pre-
senting themselves to claim their property, should be
verified in the term of ten days, if the interested persons
reside in the provinces of their former abode ; in the term
of twenty days, if they reside in the Peninsula; in that of
two months, if living in foreign countries; and in that of
four months in the colonies, excepting those residing in
the Philippine Islands, to whom the term of twelve months
is extended—it being incumbent upon all such persons to
obtain from the respective and legitimate authorities where
they reside, or from the representatives or agents of my
government in foreign countries, certificates of submission
or obedience to the throne of my august daughter.
" A. D. JUAN CARRAMOLINO.
_.t." Palace of Madrid, Sept. 18, 1839."
On the 20th despatches from Lord PALMER-
STON to Mr. SOUTHERN, the British Charge
d'Affaires at the Court of Spain, arrived at Madrid.
They were said to be of an important nature, and
probably relate to the question of the fueros and
the ultimate disposal of Don CARLOS.
The banking-house of O'SHEA and Company
has just submitted a proposal to the Spanish Go-
vernment, for paying up the arrears due to the Bri-
tish Auxiliary Legion. The Minister of Finance
has promised to give it proper attention.

Tire general joy in Madrid for the expulsion of
CARLOS from the Spanish soil was unabated. le
Dezons were ordered to be sung in all the churches
of the kingdom, in celebration of a thanksgiving for
so happy an event. ESPARTERO was shortly ex-
pected in Madrid on his way to Arragon and Cata-
lonia, when it was reported that the QUEEN would
invest him with the Order of the Golden Fleece.

SUICIDE OF A GENTLEMAN OF FORTUNE.
On Sunday afternoon about half-past two o'clock, the
inhabitants of Vernlam-buildings, Gray's-inn, was thrown
into consternation and alarm by hearing a report of fire
arms; on inquiry it was ascertained that Mr. Moore, re-
siding on the third floor at No. 1, Verulam-buildings,
had put an end to his existence by shooting himself
through the head by a pistol. A surgeon was instantly
sent for, but life was extinct before he arrived.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 28.—Baron O'Sullivan de
Gras has left the Grand Duchy of Baden, and arrived
on the 20th September at Stuttgard, to present his
credentials to the King of Wirtemburg, as Minister
from Belgium to his Court.
SWITZERLAND. The Swiss journals contain
sad accounts of the ravages occasioned throughout the
country by the inundations. A part of the Simplon-
road had been destroyed by the Rhone. The com-
munication between Lyons and Geneva had been like-
wise interrupted, and the bridge situate at the entrance
of Fort Ll:Ouse carried away by the flood. On the
St. Gothard-road equally deplorable accidents occurred,
and in Ticino and Uri the damages sustained were as
extensive as those caused by the great inundation in
1834.

By advices from Havre we learn that a remit-
! tanco bad reached that port from the United States,
against part of the amount of bills which were placed in
an " untoward" situation by what has occurred in Paris
and Havre. The only circumstance that has transpired
connected with the arrangement between Mr. Jaudon
and the Directors of the Bank of England is, that that
gentleman fully expects that he may not require any ac-
commodation ; if so, that it will not exceed 100,0001.
At an early period Mr. Jaudon will be put in possession
of a large sum of specie, which is now, in all probability,
on the passage across the Atlantic. The sensation pro.
duced in the City by the application of Mr. Jaudon to
the Bank Directors has almost entirely subsided.—Post.

INAUGURATION OF THE NEW
EHER!FFS.-(THIS DAY.)

By ancient usage the Sheriffs of London proceed in
O'faud procession to the Court of Exchequer, to be pre-
sented tO the Barons of that Court. Accordingly
this morning the companies to which the Sheriffs belong
met in the Cordwainers' Hall at ten o'clock, in the
Ball-room of which upwards of one hundred and twenty
genildiftnt sat down to a most sumptuous dejeuner a
la fourchelle. After discussing which
Mr. SHARPE (the Master of the Cordwainers' COM-
ploy, who presided) gave the health of Mr. Sheriff
Ervris, which was drunk with all the honours.
'the SHERIFF returned thanks. He did not upon that
occasion intend to make a speech, nor tell them the
manner in which it was his intention to fulfil the duties
of the high office to which he had been called by the
voice of his fellow-citizens. He would, however, say
that it would be his endeavour to maintain the honour
and dignity of the Shrievalty to the utmost of his power.
—(Cheers.) He begged to return them his most sin-
cere thanks for the honour conferred upon him.
The health of Mr. Sheriff Wheelton having been
proposed and responded to most enthusiastically,
he said the enthusiastic manner in which they had
received the toast overwhelmed him with gratitude—
although it was, as yet, undeserved, he trusted that
when their year of office had expired, both he and his
colleague would be found to have maintained the privi-
leges and dignity of the high office they had been
called upon to fill by the unanimous choice of their fel-
low citizens, with honour to themselves and advantage
to the City. He hoped it would then be found that
they had discharged their duties to the satisfaction of
those who elected them, and to the satisfaction of their
own consciences.

The, MASTER then proposed the healthy of the Un-
der. Sheriffs, Messrs. France and Jackson, who severally
returned thanks.

The health of the Master of the Distillers' Company
was then drank. In returning thanks, he said the Dis-
tillers' Company felt deeply grateful for the manner in
which they had been received by the Cordwainers' Com-
pany, both on Saturday last and that morning. He
trusted that those meetings would lead to a close friend-
ship between the two Companies, which he hoped
would not close with the year.—(Cheers.)

Mr. Sheriff EVANS proposed the health of the Master
of the Cordwainers' Company.—Drank with the honours.
Mr. SHARPE felt proud of the honour conferred upon
him, and concurred in all that bad fallen from the Mas-
ter of the Distillers' Company.
Mr. WHEELDON proposed " the health of those
gentlemen who had honoured him and his colleague
with their company upon that occasion."
Mr. DAVIS, fur the Distillers' Company, and Mr.
RICHARDS, !or that of the Cordwainers, returned
thanks.

Mr. MiLL Alto (the clerk of the Cordwainers' Com-
pany), proposed—" The Cord wainers' and the Distillers'
Companies, and may they live in unananimity and har-
mony for ever." Drunk with much applause.
The band of the Fusilier Guards played several airs
during the proceedings,
The procession was then formed under the direction
of Mr. Harper, the eminent trumpeter, and his son.
The banners and flags were numerous and very
splendid, especially the first, which were all new, made
of silk, and splendidly emblazoned. They consisted of
two standards of England, the City banner, that of Mr.
Sheriff Wheelton (presented by him to the Cordwainers'
Company), that of the Company, also Mr. Sheriff Evans'
banner, and that of the Distillers' Company. The pro-
cession was a very numerously attended one, with music,
and all the City officers. It went from Friday-street
up to Guildhall. At the bottom of King-street it was
joined by the Lord Mayor, and then went on to Wa-
terloo.bridge, whence the Company proceeded to West-
minster in the state barge.

WESTMINSTER RFGISTRA TION.
(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. MYLNE and Mr. CRAIG.)
IMPORTANT DECISION AS TO RESIDENCE.—The
vote of Captain John Benaut Smith, of Eaton-place,
had been objected to by the Liberals, on the ground
that he had not occupied in conformity with the mean-
ing of the Act ; and the case stood over for argument
this morning, before both the Revising Barristers, the
point being of considerable importance, inasmuch as a
great number of the most influential inhabitants are
placed in the same situation, in consequence of letting
their houses to the nobility during the season.
Mr. MYLNE said it was always desirable to avoid
giving any opinion upon questions, other than those it
was necessary to determine, because he could confi-
dently say there had been no case in which be had held
that a person could be considered as resident during six
months, unless during that six months he had had within
the borough, or within the requisite distance, some place
of abode to which he might at any period, of his own
free will and pleasure, resort. Now, it did not appear
that during the whole of the six months preceding the
31st of July of this year either of these gentlemen had
such place of abode. On the contrary, it appeared
that during that interval for which the premises had
been let to other persons these gentlemen had not any
place of abode to which they might have resorted as of
right, and at their own free will and pleasure. Upon
these grounds it appeared to him that this case might
be decided against them.
The lists were finally disposed of about two o'clock,
and the Court then broke up.
The number of claims and objectionsestablished by the
Liberals, is 214 ; and by the Conservatives 286.

LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA

By the packet ship Roscoe, which arrived at Liver-
pool on Sunday, we have received New York and Ca-
nada Papers, the former to the Bth, and the latter to
the 4th instant, both inclusive. They contain no poli-
tical or commercial news of the least importance. The
following extract from the New York Courier and In-
quirer shows the state of the Money Market previous to
the sailing of the packet :
" NEW YORK, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT. 6.—The
transactions in stocks to-day were again to a moderate

" Advices from Havannah state that the British
packet Hope (at that port on the 22d ult., from Mexico
for England) had on board 1,300,000 dollars in specie."
The Philadelph;a Correspondent of the same Journal
reports the following late commercial news from that
city :

PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. s.—Although money matters
are decidedly easier than they were, still we find that
some few of our merchants have become so entangled
with their bnsiness or other engagements as to find it
necessary to suspend payments, and I regret to say that
yesterday unfortunately brought forth five occurrences
of the kind above alluded to. They were all, I believe,
heavily engaged in the grocery business, and the amount
for which they have failed is to a very considerable ex-
tent. As the occurrences were not altogether unlooked
for, they have not produced the effect that they other-
wise would.

Stocks have not varied materially in price since yes-
terday. At the second board, 18 shares United States
Bank sold at 106 ; 48 Girard Bank at 43 ; 50 Vicks-
burg at 351- ; 10 Schuylkill Navigation 86i ; Philadel-
phia Bank at 101,4._

PHILADELPHIA; SEPT. 6.—Accounts of disasters in
the late gale along the coast south of the Delaware Bay
continue to arrive by every mail. It is indeed distress-
ing to peruse the different papers containing the de-
scription of sufferings, and the devastation of property.
Money transactions have been more fluctuating to-
day, and a considerable advance in the price of Vicks-
burg Bank Stock has taken place ; yesterday it closed
at 361 bid, 364 asked.
Sales to day after the second board, of 100 shares at
361, s. o. 10 days ; Kentucky and Schuylkill also ad-
vanced ; United States' Bank sold at 1051 to 10.54 ;
50 shares Kentucky, s. o. 15 days, 79. Other stocks
without change.

Tranquility continued to prevail on the Canadian
frontier. The harvest was everywhere good, so that a
large quantity of grain may be expected to be soon
ready for exportation for Europe.

SOUTH AMERICA.
The ship Richard Alsop, from Valpariso, brings us
accounts from that place to the 13th of June. Accord-
ing to these, tranquillity prevailed there and in the adja-
cent country, and business had assumed a more healthy
aspect. At Lima also all was quiet, and it was be-
lieved there the Chilians would evacuate Peru in the
course of a month. General Santa Cruz, with his ad-
herents, was at Guayaquil. The United States ship
Falmouth sailed from Valparaiso for Callao on the
12th of June ; all well.

THE Try
MEAZLES IN ;S HOSPITAL.—
The meazles are prevailing at Christ's Hospital in this
w
and appear to be of a selere character. We un-
Idoersnt'and that more than 100 boys have had the disease,
and there has been seven deaths within a fortnight—a
circumstance, we believe, unprecedented in the annals of
the institution.—/ierts County Press.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 28.—0 n Wednesday even-
ing there was an explosion of fire damp in a new shaft
at Seraing, by which four workmen lost their lives. The
accident seems to have been occasioned by a defective
lamp.
