In the press, a new Edition of
PLYMLEY'S LETTERS.
London : Longman and Co.

The publication of Tux St NEWSPAPER commenced this day
at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock.

We have been favoured by an account, from one of
the parties concerned, of the events in Hanover and
Gottingen in November, which ended in the dismissal
of the seven Professors, and insert it elsewhere. It
was wished, we are informed, to have this narrative
published at Leipsic, but it was not allowed ; and
another article from the same hand, which was printed
under the title of " What do the Middle Classes
want ?" was suppressed when on the eve of delivery,
in consequence, as we are told, of a communication
from Berlin. We shall, we hope, find room to insert
that article also, before the recess is at an end ; and
we believe our readers will find it a calm exposition o 1
the present wishes of the most intelligent of the Ger-
mans. Our own letters from Hanover, of a late date,
speak in the most gloomy terms of the probable future
of that, up to the time of Prince ERNEST'S accession,
peaceful and comparatively prosperous land. Our
Correspondents express much astonishment that the
English press, generally so attentive to whatever
threatens the welfare of Europe, should be so silent
and so regardless of the affairs of Hanover, which
excite in Germany that settled and abiding interest,
bordering on deep discontent, which, at no distant
day, will involve all its Sovereigns in difficulties, and
probably on some of them, will bring great disaster
and ruin. Prince ERNEST'S conduct is felt to be an
insult to the faithful followers of his house, as well as
an injury to their liberties. The men he has chosen
for his confidants, the chief Ministers of his arbitrary
rule, are men, who in the time of BUONAPARTE
deserted the GUELPHS, and endeavoured, as the in-
struments of King JEROME to deprive them of their
ancient territories, and destroy the ancient organiza•
tioii of their father-land. SCHEELE and LEIST,
the favourites of Prince ERNEST were traitors to
GEORGE 111. and GEORGE IV.; and those who in
the time of the usurpation remained faithful to the
GUELPHS have now the mortification to see those
who deserted them rewarded by GEORGE the Third's
favourite son. This mortification and the insult to
the loyalty of the Hanoverians has sunk deep
into their minds, and they are thoroughly con-
vinced of the bad intentions of Prince ERNEST,
by the tools he employs to carry them into effect. Of
Mr. LEIST'S former treachery the papers have lately
supplied a useful example, which reviving the recol-
lections of the Hanoverians, will make them, for old
loyalty's sake, dislike more and more the Prince and his
BUONAPARTE tools. In a late meeting of the States,
Mr. LEIST then filling the situation of the KING'S
Commissioner, reproached Mr. HuGo, one of the
first jurists of the age, and the representative of
Gottingen, with opposing the wishes of the KING,
which was particularly obnoxious in him, said Mr.
LEIST, because the GUELPHS had done so much
for Gottingen. Immediately Dr. CHRISTIAN! rose
and read from the Westphalian Mercury of 1810, a
paragraph to the following effect :—" To-day Mr.
LEIST, Counsellor of State, had the honour to present
the Professors of the University (Gottingen), to his Ma-
jesty King JEROME, and addressed his MAJESTY in a
speech which began with these words During the
few years of your Majesty's Government, your Majesty
has done more for the town of Gottingen, than the
whole House of GUELPH, during the long reign of
several Sovereigns.' " The confusion of Mr. LEIST
at being thus properly reminded of his past treachery,
is of far less importance than the fact, that the anec-
dote will remind the Hanoverians of the antecedents of
the present favourites of Prince ERNEST, and will
convince them that this arbitrary Prince makes as light
of that attachment to his family, on which they pride
themselves, as of their liberties. To that attachment,
he owes the present possession of power ; and by re-
warding those who were traitors to his family, he does
what he can to destroy the strong hold he now has
on their obedience.

The lovers of raree-shows at Leeds and Salford
must have enjoyed themselves prodigiously during the
Easter holidays, for they have had an opportunity of
seeing gratis two live Baronets—Sir FRANCIS
BURDETT and Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR—each of
whom is as fine a holiday spectacle as the well-
known calf with three legs. As for the former, we will
match him as a phmnomenon against any that has been
heard or read of since the days of CERVANTES ; and
so far from wondering, therefore, at his attracting vast
crowds at the towns which he has astonished with his
presence, we are only surprised that the whole North
did not congregate to have a stare at him. Let any
one read his last speech delivered on the last day of the
holidays at Salford, and then judge whether or not we
are correct in pronouncing Sir FRANCIS BURDETT
to be a curiosity of th© very first class. Not only
is this unaccountable old man pouring out daily
the most envenomed abuse against all those with whom
he acted for thirty years, and exhibiting the most in-
disputable signs of political fanaticism in the style in
which he speaks of O'CONNELL ; but he actually seems
to be taking a perverse—and to our thinking wholly
unintelligible—pleasure in showing his audience how
much intense and original nonsense can be spoken
in the smallest conceivable space of time. To
say merely that he is an apostate, is doing him
imperfect justice. He is the founder of an
entirely new school of apostacy, having changed his
creed without—so he himself assures us—being
in the slightest degree aware of the change ;
and advocating the rankest Toryism, in the full
persuasion that it is the best possible Radicalism.
Alas, how deep-rooted must have been the vanity—how
inveterate the itch for notoriety—that brought about a
state of mind like this ! But Mr. O'CONNELL has
occasioned it all. He it is—and no other—that has

obnubilated Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S intellects, and
rtrffic him an apoFtate from shc•:°r berilderment of

1:1F :.,-,riur,;(l 11;3 FOlf-,;iinreit :titntirl. to
madness ; and under the influence of this hallucination,
the poor humiliated Baronet is everywhere volunteering
the most preposterous oratorical absurdities. And this
word "absurdities" reminds us of Lord MAIDSTONE'S
speech at Salford, which was just the sort of thing
calculated to be attractive at the Easter-holidays.
The Noble Lord not only abused DANIEL as a
buffoon who beat any thing at Astley's"—we bow
meekly to his Lordship's knowledge of what is necessary
to constitute a good buffoon—but he mimicked him so
happily that, says the Reporter, he drew fourth shouts
of laughter. We like this trait of character. It
shows that the heir of the Earldom of Winchelsea is
not merely a promising senator, but a man of popular
and versatile talent, who in the event of that revolution
—which he is fond of talking about—coming to pass,
might win high renown as a mimic at a minor theatre,
or earn a handsome livelihood by grinning through a
horse-collar at Bartholemew Fair.

" Church or no Church, is the question which the
MELBOURNE Ministry are about to submit to Par-
liament." So says the Times of this morning, in re-
ference to the appointment of a Committee of the
House of Commons to inquire into the management
of Church property. It were easy to show the absur-
dity and wickedness of this statement What was the
leading feature i❑ the plan for the abolition of Church-
rates proposed by the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CEIEQUER ? The retention by the Clergy of the whole
of the income they at present receive, whilst by an im-
proved system of management the value of the estates
would be vastly increased, and the Dissenters be re-
lieved from the payment of an unjust, an oppressive,
and a galling impost. This is really the question
which is to be submitted to Parliament—whether the
Established Church shall be allowed to perpetuate a
system which is corrupt at its very core—which con-
verts Bishops and other Ecclesiastics into jobbing
Landlords, who, having but a life tenure of the pro-
perty they hold, have a direct interest in exacting
from lessees the uttermost farthing in the shape
of fines, regardless alike of the injury they
inflict upon agriculture, or upon their successors?
It is a notorious fact, that Church lands, and buildings
belonging to the Church, are in a worse condition than
any other in the country. And to what can this be
attributed but to the discouragements occasioned by
fines upon renewals of leases ? It is the interest of
the tenant, especially towards the termination of his
lease, to have his land exhausted and his build-
ings in ruins. Nor is this system less injurious to the
Ecclesiastic than it is to the property itself. To say
nothing of its moral influence—of the desire of gain,
which it must inspire in him who ought not to be a
" lover of filthy lucre," but who ought to devote him-
self entirely to the exalted duties of his sacred calling,
—of his degradation in the eyes of those who
ought to regard him as infinitely superior to the
debasing desire of becoming rich, at the expense of
those to whom he should set an example of spiri-
tuality of mind and of Heaven-directed ambition—
does it not cause a most unequal and unfair
distribution of wealth amongst the holders of the same
sees or livings ? We believe it to be a fact, that the
present Archbishop of CANTERBURY received, during
the last year that he was Bishop of LONDON,
80,0001. for fines alone. Of course his successor
must be a sufferer, because of the diminished regular
income of the see—or the successor of the present
Bishop, if death should be peculiarly propitious by
removing the present lessees at an unusually rapid
rate. These crying evils it was the intention of
Ministers to remove by the Bill they brought into the
last Parliament. Then their facts were denied ; their
calculations impugned ; and they consequently obtained
a Committee to inquire into and report upon both.
The labours of that Committee were prematurely
brought to a close by the demise of the Crown.
Ministers now propose to appoint a new Committee for
the same purpose. It is against the appointment of
this Committee that the artillery of the Tory Press is
directed, and that a Society of high Churchmen has been
formed in London which is to have branches and cor-
responding members all over the Kingdom. It is not
against the Bill of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER—it is not against the abolition of Church-
rates—that their effects are primarily to be directed.
It is against enquiry. Will not their very endeavours
frustrate their object ? If there be all this anxiety and
alarm when enquiry is proposed, is it not plain that
the matter will not bear enquiry—and is not an addi-
tional motive to strenuous and determined efforts sup-
plied to the opponents of Ecclesiastical abuses ? We
have laboured long to remove them, and the alarm
which we see now prevails amongst the friends of those
abuses encourages us to persevere, and to hope that
our exertions will in the end be successful.

The SPOTTISWOODE Gang, and its application of
the funds it coaxed out of the Parsons and their wives,
is fresh in the public recollection. It made most mag-
nificent promises, and was to unseat half the Members
for Ireland. It did nothing but divide the funds, as
the Herald and Standard remarked, amongst some
family connections of those who were chiefly concerned
in getting up the subscriptions. The cunning managers
of that scheme seem to have aimed, by pandering
to the passions of the bigots, to get something for
themselves ; and they treated their deluded subscribers
in a manner worthy of their cause. As that game is
up another is to be tried. The defence of the Church
is still, however, to be the pretext for taxing its vota-
ries. The Times of this morning announces the for-
mation of a new lay Society to protect the Church, as
it was to be protected by the SPOTTISWOODE gang.
Of whom it is to be composed is not yet known, but
there is a Secretary already provided. A Treasurer
will not be wanting, and those office-bearers, who are
to be amply paid for their labour, will soon be found.
Friends of the Church—we beg leave to remind you
of the SPOTTISWOODE gang, and to warn you in
time, that you look to your pockets. London abounds
with clever tricksters.

In another part of our Paper will be found a
highly-interesting narrative of an expedition, fitted
out by Governor SIMPSON, of the Hudson's Bay
Company, under the command of Mr. T. DBASE
and Mr. THOMAS SIMPSON, a relative of the
Governor's, to explore the North West passage.
These enterprising voyagers may now claim the
merit of having at last solved this grand geographical
problem. It is now put beyond a doubt that a pas-
sage exists between the two continents.

By the despatch of our Private Correspondent in
Dublin, we are to-clay, again, enabled to anticipate all
the regular arrivals from that City, and are thus
enabled to lay before our readers intelligence much
sooner than could be conveyed through the ordinary
channels of communication. It will be seen in another
part of The Sun that on Tuesday last Mr. O'Corr-
NELL again met his constituents, and argued at great
length against the Ministerial measure for the relief of
the suffering, destitute mass of his wretched fellow-
countrymen. Our own views on the Poor-law question
have so frequently been expounded—we have so often
and so earnestly insisted in The Sun, ons, ttsi 1; ap-
pears to us the strong, self-evident ueoessity of doing
something promptly (however short of the rerformanoo
of a perfect lezislativol measure), to relieve Ow frightful

misery by which the poor peasantry of unhappy Ire-
-1b..). arr presd down--._-that to ye- ••!.- ".-,, "

by taxing their patience with a IN earisoine repetition
of arguments with which they all cannot fail
to be familiar. Whether Mr. O'CoNNELL, when he
embarked last Tuesday on his crusade against a legal
provision for the poor, steered quite clear of the rock
of repetition—or whether, on the contrary, the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman is obnoxious to the imputa-
tion of having offered to his audience nothing new,
but that he served up the self-same stale, obsolete,
and thread-bare arguments which have been before
refuted—we leave our readers to determine. Our
opinion is, that Mr. O'CONNELL has told us only the
old story, in not his happiest and most convincing
manner.

The Paris Journals of Tuesday received this mour-
ning, announce, that greatly to the disappointment of
the monied interest, the debate on the Five per Cent.
Reduction Bill did not commence on Monday owing
to the sudden illness of the Finance Minister. Early
on Tuesday, however, the question was brought for-
ward by M. DELABORDE, who made a long oration
against the proposed scheme, on the ground of its in-
rolving a breach of national faith. He was not fol-
lowed by any of the leaders of the Chamber, as anti-
cipating a protracted debate they seemed resolved to
reserve themselves for the important task of bringing
it to a conclusion. In the Chamber of Peers, on Tues-
day, the Bill for the levy of 80,000 recruits of the
Conscription for 1837, was adopted without a division.
There is no news from Spain in these Journals.

(From the Papers.)
The Majesteure, a three decker, has been drawn to-day from
the mud in the Darse, on which it had run aground. It must-
be thoroughly careened, for which purpose it will be hauled.
ashore by the end of this month. This is the first ship that
has been subjected to this operation, which will require grey
preparations.
The day before yesterday, in the evening, an express ar-
rived here with despatches from the Government for Admiral
Roussin, our Ambassador at Constantinople, and for Rear-
Admiral Gallois, commanding the squadron in the Levant.
The Feetor (of the line) sailed yesterday for Smyrna, where
it is to remain under the command of Admiral Gallois, who
will thus have a large naval force. It is generally believed
that the Turkish fleet will shortly sail again, and, on the other
hand, it is positively known that great naval preparations aro,
making at Alexandria.—Debats.
VIENNA, APRIL B.—A courier who arrived yesterday
brought word that the Emperor of Russia will be at Toplaa.
on the 15th of next June. The Archduchess Louisa or
Parma will arrive here in the month of May.—Swabian
Mercury.
The Imperial Letter by which the State takes possession of
the 32 fortified towns erected near Lenz, according to the,
plans and at the expense of the Archduke Maximilian of.
Este, has just been addressed to the competent authoritief..
A division of artillery, and another of pioneers are gone to
Lenz.

FRANKFORT, APRIL 9. —lt is said that the officers of 02°
Castle of Johannisberg have received orders to prepare all the
apartments for the reception of Prince Metternich, towards Ow
end of June.—Anqsburg Gazette.
The Ottoman Porte has addressed to the Foreign Ministers
an official note, remonstrating against the custom of the
foreign Courts at Smyrna, which has been abolished by
treaties, of giving patents of protection to subjects of the
Porte, in order by that means to withdraw them from the
Turkish jurisdiction. The Governor of Smyrna has received
orders to take these patents from all inhabitants of Turkish
origin who still have them in their possession.—Le Commerce.

Advices from Constantinople, of the 28th ult.t., 110 e
been received this morning. The fears entcztained of
a rupture between the SULTAN and the. Viceroy °f
EGYPT were fast subsiding. The Porte, it iwas
stated, would only send a small army of observation to,
the Syrian frontier, with a view to deter MEHEMET
ALI from exceeding the limits of his present usurped
authority. On the 25th Mr. KNIGHT, the English
gentleman who accompanied Messrs. BELL and
LONGWORTH into Circassia, in order to rouse the
population against Russia, arrived in Constantinople-
He had a narrow escape, having been pursued for fif-
teen hours by four Russian cruisers. His brave com-
panions were to follow him in about a month. 11°'
was convinced that without the interference of some'
friendly Power, the Circassians could not hold out;
much longer against the armies poured into that
country by Russia. The tribes could furnish
military force of three hundred thousand men
but they had neither arms nor ammunition/
and consequently were comparatively powerless in o'2'
plains. As they could not withstand Russia in tile'
field, it was impossible for them to attempt the cultiva-
tion of their scanty but necessary crops, or to erect for
themselves permanent dwellings in any situation Yisible.:
to the enemy. But worse than all, Russian gold and
Russian emissaries had fond their way among thew'.
and many a patriot had yielded to a temptation which'
the almost certainty of death, in the:event of rejectiow
rendered irresistible. Once mistress of the Caucasus,
and Turkey and Persia are at the feet of Russia. And
yet England and France fold their arms, and prate
about preserving the peace of the world

The Journal de Smyrne of the 31st ult. contains
the following :—" We have have received a copy of the con,-
mercial treaty which has been entered into between Greece
and Great Britain. It is founded on broad and liberal bases,'
in a spirit of reciprocity, such, in fact, as might be expecte,'"
f ore a power which has so constantly shown goodwill toward
Greece. The following are the principal provisions ,
Greek vessels on entering or leaving the ports of the Unite'.
Kingdom, and all English vessels on entering or leaving the:
ports of Greece, are to pay no other dues or charges ths•slA
those to which the ships of the two nations arc subject"
in their own ports. All the productions of the soil or
manufacture of the States, subject to the contracting
parties, the importation or exportation of which is or
shall be allowed in native vessels, will also enjoy
this privilege in vessels belonging to the other party, no Pre"
ference or advantage being allowable, as far as the purchasei
of those articles is concerned, in consideration of the yes('
which shall have transported them. This arrangement is ar.
plicable to articles not the produce of the soil or manufacture.
of the states subject to the contracting parties. Art. 6 de.:
fines the nationality of the ships. Art. 9 grants to Greco.
subjects trading in Greek vessels with British India the same"
facilities and privileges as are enjoyed by the most favoure
cl
nations. Other articles settle the civil and religious 'viewing
between the contracting parties, and also the nomination of Con'
suls in the different ports of each. Finally, Art. 15 declares
that the treaty shall remain in force for ten years from its rati-
fication."

A few nights since an attempt, happily unsuccess-
ful was made on the life of Mr. J. Smith, of Stanstead..near
Chichester, the highly-respected steward of Charles DII00:
Esq. Mr. Smith's residence is situated within Stanst'sa4
Park, at about fifty feet from the road; the ground ir.otor
dlately behind the houses rises, from which circumsta-Ace tna
passer-by is enabled to look directly down into the -ivindows,
one of which is that of Mr. Smith's bedrpom. About two
o'clock in the morning a gun loaded with slugs ',vas fired from!
the road into the bedroom, but the shot passi.ng over the bed,
lodged in the wall. After a lapse of two or three minutes
another gun was fired, but the direction of the aim was altered,
the contents of the piece taking the centre of the window:.
Mr. Smith, however, had presence of mind enough to rems,n
still in bed, to which alone he owes preservation, as bad
be
risen and presented himself at die window his destruction 011,3'
have been certain; and it appears as if it was the impression'
on the mind of the assassin that such would have been ti .1°
care, as he waited before he discharged the second peice at .out
time enough to allow Mr. Smith to rise and reach the win-
dow. Every exertion has bcen made to discover tti,,e per-
petrator of this deliberate act, but without avail.— xrightos

MONEY and COMMERCIAL MARKET.

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Paris papers state that the proceedings of the Chamber of
Deputies on Monday disappointed the expectations of the
Pails politicians, who expected that the discussion on the 5
per Cent. question would have commenced on that day, but
the absence of the Finance Minister from illness occasioned
the sitting to pass over without any reference to the chief topic
of interest. The French funds remain much the same as they
did yesterday.
GOVERNMENT-HOUSE, MONTREAL, MARCH 7, 1838.—Per-
sons desirous of applying for indemnification for the losses
they may have sustained during the revolt in the district of

Verifying the whole, and respectable references as to their
conduct and character. On these documents being forwarded
to the Civil Secretary, the cases of the claimants will be
len into consideration by the Executive Government.

V"iied officer, who is senior in rank in the Regiment of Royal
bas beim reported to have declined to accept the
sbpelluintrnent of Commandant of \Voolwich, which, upon the
hit authority, has been proved not to be the fact. His Lord-
P will certainly enter upon the command in the course of
Thaat weeknsion , but there has been sonic difficulty in obtaining a
in suit his establishment, the official residence

ja Garwood, who attended Rockland steeple chase on the 9th

CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.)

The arguments in sins part-hearer winch were ,ea,-
menced before the recess, were resumed to-day. The case
came before the Court under the following circumstances :
A petition had been presented by Mr. Reed Richards, the
nephew of Mr. Thomas Richards, an old gentleman, of the
age of 71 years, who had acquired a large property in business,
and Nsho had long since retired from it, and was now living in
Haberdashers'-row, Hoxton, for a Commission of Lunacy
against his uncle. A caveat had been put in against the
Commission, and the case now came before the Court upon a
petition, praying an order of the Court for the attendance
of Doctor Southey, upon the supposed lunatic, in order
to ascertain what the real state of his mind was.
I❑ the affidavit in support of the petition for a Com-
mission Mr. Thomas Richards was stated to be an imbe-
cile old man, who was entirely under the controul of Miss
Elizabeth Don, into whose name, jointly with that of a Mr.
Bartrup, he had transferred stock to the amount of upwards of
90,000/. ; Ise was under the care of Miss Don, and as was al-
leged by the petitioner, they prevented all accass to him, and
refused to admit the physician sent by the petitioner, his
nephew and only relation.
Mr. ANDERSON, who appeared for the petitioner, was heard
on his behalf before the Raster recess.
Sir W. HORNE, who opposed the application, and who was
only partly heard previous to the Court rising for the holidays,
resumed to-day. Mr. Thomas Richards, against whom the
application for a Commission was made, was as sound in mind
as possible, but was labouring under a disease of the body.
As to Miss Don, whom Mr. Richards had adopted, her con-
duct was unimpeachable ; and all the statements with respect
to the unsoundness of Mr. Richards' mind arose from the
statements of a discarded servant, those statements being► po-
sitively contradicted by the broker and medical attendant of
Mr. Richards. . .

The Learned Counsel had not concluded when our repor-
ter left.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

:N THE MATTER OF WHISTON.-THE RED MAID'S CHARITY,

BRISTOL.

His HONOUR, on corning into Court, stated that he had read
the petition in this case, the chief object of which was the
confirmation of the Master's report, approving of a scheme
for the future regulation of the Charity, and it appeared to
him that there could be no objection to the confirmation of the
Master's report approving of the scheme. The Master, how-
ever, had taken no notice of one of the facts stated in the pe-
tition, with respect to the 681. It seemed to his Honour that
it would be frivolous to take proceedings in respect of that.
He thought, also, that no proceedings should be taken to set
aside the sale made by the Corporation of Bristol to the
trustees of the Red Maid's Charity ; the better course,
in his Lhonour's opinion, being that the trustees should
'all that piece of land with the incomplete works upon it.
Then the only other point was with respect to the plan of Mr.
Foster for the improvement of the school of the Charity ; and
a reference to that, though Mr. Foster had miscalculated the
quantity of land required for the play-ground of 112 girls,
still with some alteration in that respect, his Honour thought
that plan might be adopted. He should therefore make the
order, confirming the report of the Master, approving of a
scheme ; he would therefore direct that no proceedings should
be taken in respect of the 68/., the trustees to be at liberty to
sell the land they had purchased from the Corporation of
Bristol, to carry into execution the plan of Mr. Foster, and also
giving them liberty to treat with the Corporation of Bristol,
for the purchase of the reversion or fee of certain land which
was held under the Corporation upon lease.
The COURT then proceeded with unopposed motions.
