methods. Willy the favoured individualF, who are en-
dowed with the high and responsible office of fixing
the " local habitation" of the Society have migrated out
of the theatrical regions to Gray's Inn-lane, has been
accounted for in this way. Last year the ladies were
admitted to the boxes of the theatre to witness the
performance, and this imposed such a restraint upon
the greater part of the company—so checked freedom
of speech and action—that the parties aggrieved sent
a deputation of their number to the managers to ex-
postulate, and to declare that unless the " woman-
kind" were excluded, they would not come to the
feed. Upon this the plan of a booth, to be chris-
tened " Pavilion," was suggested ; and this pavilion
was so constructed, that none could be present but
those who sat at table.

It is not necessary to make much comment upon
the proceedings of this "festival," as it is ludicrously
nick-named by the Morning Papers. What it was in
reality we cannot better describe than by using the
words of 'Mr. Vice-Presiilent HOARE, who, in return-
ing thanks for the honot?r of having his health drunk,
asked the following very pertinent question—" After
all, Gentlemen, what are we come here for ? Is it to
have a Toryfeed ?" To which latter question he very
candidly answers " YES ; but it is to be a feed, and
something more." That is to say, it is to be a feed
and a swill—a regular guzzle ; and a regular guzzle to
be sure it was. So uproarious at last did the" Associates"
become that scarcely a word of the speeches could
be heard, and an attempt—the only sign of sense mani-
fested during the evening—was made to turn the re-
porters, neck and crop, out of the room.

All the men who are generally present to give some
kind of eclat to Tory meetings, absented themselves—
we believe through sheer shamefrom this scene of
brawling vulgarity. They were not detained by any
Parliamentary duties, but they could not consent to
mix themselves up with so trumpery a concern.
Miserable indeed, in point both of talent and
principle, must that Assembly be in which a re-
negade like Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR takes the
most prominent station. This solemn blockhead,
who has a hereditary right to make a fool of him-
self, uttered a quantity of ineffable nonsense about
the mountains and glens of Scotland, and the ardent
attachment which the Scotch Presbyterians entertain
for the Church of England ! This comes well from a
man who glories in his being a Presbyteriati, and who
knows, or ought to know, that by the very framers of that
Confession of Faith which is the standard of his reli-
gious belief, the Church of England was held in
nearly as much abhorrence as the Church of Rome,
and who ought also to remember that his forefathers
were hunted like wild beasts over mountains and
glens by the agents and emissaries of that Church
which he so eulogises—that for fifty long years the
people of Scotland endured all manner of cala-
mities—were persecuted often to death of the most
most cruel description—because they could not
conscientiously adopt the faith of the Church of
England. Yet this gentleman would have the public
believe, that he walks in the footsteps of the ancient
fathers of the Church of Scotland !

A Petition from the Clergy of London was pre-
sented to the House of Lords on Tuesday, praying
that the Petitioners might be heard by Counsel against
the Cemetery Bills now in progress through Parlia-
ment. The Petition was very properly entrusted to
the Bishop of LONDON, who executed the task in
his usual pious and devout manner, and endeavoured
to impress on their Lordships, that the great conside-
ration which weighed with him and the Clergy were
of a moral and religious nature, and chiefly the im-
proper and promiscuous interment of the dead. " Their
Lordships all knew," continued the Right Rev. Pre-
late, " from melancholy experience what controul was
exercised over the minds of survivors, when friends or
relatives were consigned to the tomb amid the solem-
nities of our holy religion. It became a word of
friendship and regard with surviving friends, and that
bond was effectu ally severed by burying the dead
in Cemeteries." Nothing, perhaps, could exceed this
solemn mockery, except the sequel. One would suppose
from the exordium that some great calamity was to be
produced—that all regard to religion was to be cast
off, and the bonds of friendship destroyed—and that
nothing could bring about such an awful state of
things but some horrible acts of sacrilege like those
committed by the French Government during the worst
days of the Revolution—such as the abrogation of the
Christian religion, or the expulsion or murder of its
servants. The religious part of the community, how-
ever, will set their minds at rest on that subject when
they know that it is money—the root of all evil, that
gives rise to these forebodings and hypocritical lamen-
tations. It is the fees—the filthy lucre, which has
been so much sought after by Churchmen in all
ages, and which has been so injurious to the in-
terests of pure religion.. The London Clergy are
afraid that if public Cemeteries become general, and the
intolerable nuisance of burying the dead in the midst
of a crowded city be done away, they shall not be able
to levy single, double, nay, treble fines, on all those
who have the misfortune to lose their relatives and
friends—they shall not be able to charge a large sum
for a small spot in a church-yard—another sum for
reading the burial service—another for leave to erect
a tablet in the church—and an additional sum when
the interment takes place out of the parish in which
the individual died. These are the great causes of re-
gret ; but the public are not to be deceived by priest-
craft now as in former times. They are becoming
every day more practical in their conduct. The
speech of the Bishop of LONDON might have been
very appropriate, if it had been spoken by a Jesuit to
untutored or superstitious savages ; or if it had been
addressed by an Archbishop of CANTERBURY to the
ignorant multitude in the worst times of popery ; but in
these days it is quite out of place, and notwithstanding
all this cant and interested opposition, one of the
great nuisances of a crowded city will in a few years
be removed.

The Paris Journals of Tuesday have all been re-
ceived. Their contents are politically uninteresting.
In the course of the afternoon of that day the follow-
ing intelligence from Spain was communicated by tele-
graph to the French Government :

" FORT LE BAINS, THE 19TIf.
" NARBONNE, TIIE 13T11.
" On the 6th the Navarrese were at Estaparran (three
leagues from Tamarite), having left a number of wounded
at Ag-er. A Christino division was at Albeda (one league
from Tumarite). Seu d'Urgel was not menaced so late as
the 10th.

" Accounts from Valencia state that Cabrera had passed
the Ebro at Caspe with from 5,000 to 6,000 men. Ser-
rada was at San Mateo, and Fraile in the environs of Va-
lencia."

The passage of the Ebro by CABRERA dissipates
whatever remaining confidence we had in the military
capacity of the QUEEN'S Generals. The junction
of the forces under the command of this blood-
thirsty chieftain and the main army of the Pre-
tender, will put the Carlists in a condition to me-
nace the capital of a kingdom defended by such
apologies for Generals as ORA A, Baron de MEER,
and ESPARTERO. The first-named of these worthies
has addressed a flaming dispatch to the Minister of
War, giving an account of his valorous non-intercep-
tion of the Carlist army during the passage of the
Cinca, on the sth inst. As this document is one of
the most precious specimens of undiluted Bobadilism
that has appeared since the publication of the famous

CORDOVA'S Arlaban dispatch, we cannot refine it.
insertion in our columns :

"DISPATCH OF GENERAL ORAA TO THE SPANISH MINISTER;
DATED MONZON, THE STH.

" I stated to your Excellency before, my resolution not
to attack the enemy in Barbastro, but to rest prepared to
fall upon him at the first opportunity. In order to this, I
desired the Baron de Mcer to station himself with his
force at Castejor de la Puente, at the distance of an hour
and a half's march of the enemy. To-day he was to have
taken this position ; when this morning we both heard that
the enemy had begun to pass the river on the previous
night at Estadella and Estrada. The Baron de Meer
marched in consequence upon Fonz, to oppose their pass-
ing ; whilst I hastened with the utmost speed, on the
other side of the river, to the places of their passage, in
the hope of intercepting the enemy. Nor were we alto.
gaiter unsuccessful—thanks to the celerity of the soldiers
in one of the hottest days known, time not being even taken
to satisfy hunger. We attacked the rear-guard of the
enemy as it stood on the brink of the river, and the result,
which I shall afterwards mention more in detail, was the
loss on the part of the enemy of the 4th battalion of Cas-
tile, all of whom that escaped drowning or our fire remained
prisoners, with their commander. The troops behaved
well, especially three grenadiers of Almanza, who at great
risk saved the lives of many of the factious who were
drowning. The barks having been found unserviceable, I
was obliged to retrograde in order to pass the river Ciuca
at Monzon. From hence we set off immediately in pursuit
of the enemy, which has taken the direction of Grans.
The Baron de Meer, not having been able to arrive in
time at the passage of the river by the rebels, has retro-
garded to Lerida, in order to cover the places and district
committed to his care."

The QUEEN'S soldiers are as difficult to please in
weather as the flogged recruit in the application of the
stripes inflicted by the Irish drummer. The day of an
engagement is always unfavourable for the QUEEN'S
Generals. The frost ruined CORDOVA—the snow
impeded every movement of ESPARTERO—and now
we have the sun scorching the laurels of the Gallant
ORAA. Of course the Carlists had no such ob-
stacle as a hot day to contend with, and even
if they had they could shelter themselves under their
baggage ; whereas the valiant Christinos, led on by the
redoubted ORAA, had only their muskets to protect
them. Nevertheless, they did arrive at the Cinca—
but not before the main body of the Carlists were
safely landed on the other side of the river.
This was a bitter disappointment, but the gal-
lant ORAA had sufficient fortitude to bear up
against it. After assisting such of the Carlists
as his appearance had frightened into the river at the
risk of being drowned, he marched back again at the
head of his victorious division to inform the Govern-
ment of his successes. Baron DE MEER proved him-
self on this occasion worthy of his invincible colleague
in arms. He, too, would have annihilated the Carlists,
had they only had the politeness to wait for him. But
without regard to the heat of the weather, the rascals were
off before he'could come up with them. He threatens
however, to catch them when the weather is more fa-
vourable ; and if he do, we promise them rough treat-
ment should they happen to be unprovided with arms.
The Baron has long been suspected of a secret attach-
ment to Carlist principles ; but having pledged himself
to destroy the Pretender root and branch, we, of
course, cannot think of accusing him of a design
to betray the Constitutional cause. We may, how-
ever, be permitted to express our belief, that were
Don CARLOS to ascend the Spanish throne before
the expiration of a week, the Baron DE MEER would
decline the acceptance of a free pardon, if accompanied
with the offer of a lucrative employment under the
new Sovereign. We leave to the QUEEN'S Govern-
ment the task of inquiring whether or not such offi-
cers—and there are many such at the head of the
Constitutional Army—ought to be employed in the
suppression of a rebellion organized and supported by
the abettors of despotism throughout Europe.
The following extracts from the journals include
whatever else is interesting in the French Papers of
Tuesday :

It has been announced by mistake that Lord Granville
was present at the fete at Versailles on Saturday. His
Excellency was prevented by indisposition, but the Countess
Granville, Lord Leveson, Mr. Aston, and Mr. Heneage
were present.

Among the dishes furnished for the monstre dinner of
Saturday, were 4,043 fowls, 300 chickens, 100 pheasants,
60 sheep, and 3,0001 b. of salt-water fish. The quantity of
wine is stated at 8,000 bottles. The consumption of sugar
is estimated at 2,00010. The early vegetables, fruits, and
flowers, ware brought from a great distance. It is said that
the Civil List paid more than 6,000 f. for the octroi duty at
Versailles on the different objects for the banquet. It would
excite astonishment could the bill of fare be dissected ar-
ticle by article.

On Sunday there was a dinner of 200 covers at Trianon.
The galleries were, it is said, illuminated by 1,500 lamps,
700 candelabra, and 1,200 grand branches, each of 15 wax_
lights.
The Bishop of Meaux, who pronounced the nu, ;al
benediction on the Duke and Duchess of Orleans, has
been promoted to the rank of Commander of the Legion of
Honour.

The Eclaireur of Toulon gives the following as the main
points of the treaty between General Bugeaud and Abd-el-
Kader :—" The Emir acknowledges the power of France
in Africa. He cedes to her the province of Oran, with the
towns of Oran, Mostaganem, and Arzeu, with an extent of
territory of upwards of ten leagues round, which will afford the
French the means of establishing the Arab allies with advan-
tage. Coleah and Mcdeah, although within the above limits,
are reserved by the Emir. The establishment on the Tafna,
which is already dismantled and evacuated, is to be given up.
The French are to remain in possession of Tlemecen until
the treaty is ratified. Algiers and the whole of the plain
of Metidja are acknowledged as French possessions. Bona
is within the domain of the Bey of Constantine. More-
over, Abd-el-Kader is to pay to France 30,000 f., or 15,000
sacks of barley, an equal quantity of wheat, and 5,000
oxen ; this is to be done by three instalments, the first of
which is to be on the Ist of September. Abd-el-Kader
further engages not to carry on or permit any commerce
except through the ports in the hands of the French. As
hostages for the due observance of the treaty, the Emir
leaves in the hands of the French his uncle and two of his
nephews."
Colonel Conrad, who has just met his death in Spain,
was among the most distinguished of the French army. He
was born at Strasburg. Flaying entered the service in 1806,
he was in all the campaigns of Germany and Spain, and re-
ceived the Cross of Honour from the Emperor's own hand
on the field of Leipsic. He was engaged in the capture of
Algiers, and afterwards went to Spain as Lieutenant-Colonel
of the Foreign Legion ; his personal qualities alone kept
that body together, dissatisfied as it was with being so
long left without pay, and in a state of complete destitu-
tion. The following is the last letter that brave officer
sent to France. It is dated the 2d instant, from Pampe-
luna, and addressed to his lady in Paris :—" I have al-
ready reduced the Legion to two battalions and two squa-
drons, and am on the point of again compressing it into a
single battalion, and two small squadrons. I shall then
return into France to take the waters, of which I have
great need. What I have suffered during the last nine months
is indescribable, and for which nothing can ever compensate
me. I have done my duty with resolution and loyalty, and
at least possess the consciousness that I sun without re-
proach. I shall set out in an hour for Puente la lteyna.
A little more good fortune will set me clear of this
wasps'-nest ; but I have never been in so much danger as
that we are about to incur if we meet the enemy ; for
my officers and men are both disheartened and dissatisfied
by want of money and the privations they have endured. I
have greater cause than ever to risk my person, in order
to sustain my own and the Legion's reputation, and that of
the French army, which it represents here." This gallant
soldier has left his widow, with two sons and a daughter,
unprovided for.
