able companion to escort them through Peru, and conduct
them to the i ich Potosi. With the tastes of a gentleman
and the information of a man of the world, our author,
in mixing with society in towns and cities, in estimating
the productions of nature, and in discussing the mining
capabilities of the country, is equally at home, and ahv,tys

MATII.I3OItOUGH-STREET.

ST. JAMES'S CHURCH- RATE. _Mr. Edward Ewen,
of Jermyn-street, accompanied by several parishion-
ers, came before Mr. DYER, to appeal against the
church rate now levied in his parish, on the ground
that it never could be ascertained what money was
required for repairing the church, sinless some esti-
mate was first made of the expence.
Mr. DYER observed, that he did not exactly see
why the Magistrates should call upon the church-
wardens to show the grounds on which they had
levied the present rate of threepence in the pound
for repairing the church ; and in this opinion he was
supported by those around him.

Mr. Ewen then commented on the double stipends
got under the Acts of James 11. and George 11,
which altered the former Act, by the assistant Mi-
nister out of the poor-rates; and remarked that
some portion of the pew-rents ought, as formerly,
to be applied to the repair Of the parish church.
Mr. Haines, the collector, alleged the necessity
of having an efficient assistant preacher, without
whom the pew-rents would fall greatly in value, and
leave nothing to appropriate to the repairs of the
church.

Mr, DYER—I do not see that we have any right
to interfere with the appropriation of the pew-rents.
After some remarks from Mr. Ewen, the Magi-
strates were decidedly of opinion, that unless he could
show that the authority of the churchwardens was
invalid, he must comply with the church-rate so

THE FUNDS.

We have no arrivals this morning, with the exception of
the express from Paris, by which it appears that Sunday
passed off quiet, although the troops of the line are continuing
to march on the capital, by which it is obvious that the Govern-
ment are not without some fears in regard to disturbances. A.
report still prevails that Sebastiani was going to resign : he cer-
tainly cut but a poor figure in contact with old General Lafayette.
The express also states that the Poles had gained some advantages.
Should our Konigsburg letter be confirmed of an armistice, there
is no doubt that the French Ambassador, and that of the King
of Prussia, have prevailed on the humanity of the Emperor of
Russia, to prevent the entire destruction of Poland.
Consols, which kit off yesterday at 75% for the Account,
opened at 76; at present they are 764 to lb, and 764 for money.
The debates of last night occupy the whole of the attention of
the public this morning, who are anxiously waiting the result.
HALF-PAST ONE.

The steamers and the French express having arrived we have
no further information to expect from the continent this day.
Our Funds have remained very steady the whole of the morn-
ing, fluctuating at 761 A, alternately buyers and sellers, with
little doing to the present hour, and 76%4, for money; but the
money market has not been so brisk as yesterday.
In the Foreign Market there is nothing doing as yet; prices
nearly the same as yesterday.

We have been favoured with the following important letter
from Konigsburg, of the 11th of March, from a most respectable
merchant in the city :
" It now appears that the Russians have met.with a more ob-
stinate resistance from the Poles than they expected ; and, ac-
cording to our information, it appears that it is the wish of the
Emperor of Russia to save Warsaw from destruction. The in-
formation we have just received states, that an armistice has been
concluded between the Poles and the Russians, and we are
anxiously waiting the result."

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Moniteur of Saturday.)
DAMASCUS IN SYRIA, JULY 7.—The cholera morbus
and the plague have ravaged Persia and Bagdad. At
Bagdad 12,000 houses are shut up, the plague having
swept away the inhabitants of them. In addition to this,
two inundations of the Tigris have destroyed all the houses
that were on the banks ; even a part of the ramparts of the
city was carried away. The courier of the caravan to
Mecca has arrived to-day. He announces that three quar-
ters of the pilgrims died of the cholera, during the three
days they were at Mecca.
PARIS, SEPT. S.-Tile Gulf of Salonichi is infested by
pirates. Near Pannoni, a small Greek vessel was attacked
and plundered by a bark which had thirty men on board;
three passengers were wounded. At Tchozazi a Hydriot
schooner was surprised by the pirates ; the Captain, at-
tempting to defend himself, was killed, with four of his
crew : there remained only a sailor boy and an old man,
both of whom were wounded. The vessel was completely
plundered. It is reported that a schooner, hearing a Euro-
pean flag, has been sunk in those seas by the same pirates,
who have two scampa-vial and a mystic.
(From the Journal du Commerce.)

Paws, SECT. 9.—The refusal of the Government of
Haiti to ratify the treaties concluded at Paris in the
month of March this year, has excited much alarm among
the holders of the bonds of the loan which that republic
contracted in Paris in 1825. The annals of the Ex-
change present but few examples of such a depreciation as
that which this loan has undergone. A Haitian bond of
1,000 francs, hearing interest at 6 per cent., is sold for
200 francs, and besides this, the seller gives up the six
coupons of erre irs of interest due and not paid on the Ist
of July last,—this is equivalent to purchasing five francs
annual interest with a capital of fourteen francs. The
loan of the Spanish Cortes is now nearly at this price.
But the Government of Haiti has never declared, like that
of Spain, that it did not recognize its loan as valid : on
the contrary, it has always affirmed that it looked upon it
as a sacred debt, and desired nothing more ardently than,
to fulfil its engagements towards the French, who placed
confidence in it. It is therefore indispensable that the
Government should 'acquaint the public with the real
state of affairs relatively to the treaties which were con-
cluded with Haiti. Other interests no less important are
connected with this affair, and suffer equally from the un-
certainty that prevails on the subject.
M. faloilieu, the French Consul at Port-au-Prince, has
been at Paris for this month past, and the Moniteur re-
mains silent. We know nothing more than what has been
gathered from foreign Journals. Such a state of things
cannot continue, and we have reason to be astonished no
voice has yet been heard in the Chambers, to call on the
Ministers to give on this subject the information promised
in his Mjesty's speech at the commencement of the session.

The Learned Serjeant had not concluded his argument
when our reporter left.

GAME BILL.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY proposed that the Game
Bill should be read a second time to-morrow pro forma,
and that the discussion should be taken on the question for
going into Committee on Monday next. The reason for
this proposal was, that a Noble Duke, who had paid great
attention to this Bill, could not, owing to certain circum-
stances attend to-morrow, and hardly hoped to be able to
attend till Monday.
Earl GREY was anxious that unnecessary delay should
be avoided, but saw no objection to the second reading
of the Bill to-morrow. He hardly thought, however,
that it would be right to postpone the committal till
Monday. He suggested that the Bill should be read a
second time to-morrow, and that it should he afterwards
considered when the next stage should be taken.
After some observations from the Duke of CUMBER.
LA ND and Lord CA RBERY, the proposition of Lord
Grey was agreed to, on the understanding that there be no
discussion on the second reading.
The hearing of the case of Harris and Kemble was post-
poned till Monday.—Adjourned.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1831.

In the House of Commons last night, after a
brief, desultory discussion of a foolish motion
by Colonel SIBTHORPE (which was lost), on
the subject of the Times newspaper, Mr. K.
DOUGLAS, on the question for going into Com-
mittee on the Sugar Refining Bill, moved an
amendment, to the effect that the Committee
should take into consideration the state-
ments, &c., submitted to the Board of Trade,
on the state of the British West Indian
colonies. The Hon. Member, after a few ob-
servations from Mr. P. THOMPSON, Lord AL-
THORP, and Mr. ROBINSON, ultimately with-
drew his amendment in favour of one proposed
by Mr. BURGE, that the Foreign Sugar Re-
fining Act be referred to a Select Committee.
This second amendment was lost by a majority of
four. The report was at length ordered to be
received this day.

The Speech of the KING of the Belgians in
our Journal of yesterday, if it contains little
worthy of peculiar remark, does not appear to
have omitted any of the topics that are upper-
most in the situation of the new kingdom.
After a modest allusion to his own favourable
reception in his adopted country, LEOPOLD con-
gratulates his subjects on their prospect of en-
joying a greater degree of liberty than any
nation in Europe, when the Constitution shall
have been perfected by the settlement of the
Laws of the Press, of Juries, of Elections, and
of several others of too special a nature to hare
been included in the short summary of law
which forms the present fundamental Charter
of Belgium. This Constitution is founded
upon the principles of Government recog-
nized by those familiar with that science,
and we strongly recommend its careful perusal
to such as continue to sneer at the Belgic revo-
lution, and to call it the illegitimate offspring of
the three days of Paris. We are satisfied that
the benefits reaped by the Belgians have been in-
finitely more substantial than those yet attained
by the French, and think King LEOPOLD has
not exulted in the freedom of his people more
than he had just reason to do.
The demolition of the Belgic fortresses having
been determined on by the Conference previous
to the assistance rendered by the French troops,
his MAJESTY'S expression that " Belgium will
on this occasion give a proof of its gratitude to
France," must be considered as rather figurative
than exact. Those fortresses would have been
demolished whether occasion had or had not
arisen for a feeling of thankfulness from Bel-
gium to France ; and although,
whilst time work
of demolition is proceeding, the late events will
be a new memorial of the incongruity of a line
of forts between friendly territories, yet it should
not be forgotten that it was the alteration in the
political circumstances of Europe which deter-
mnined the Conference to put an end to those
smperfluous houses of war. The argument of
the Morning ,Post, that the demolition is nei-
ther more nor less than " as a boon to France,"

of the " Commercial Vade Mecum," which, though
not bigger than a small snuff-box, comprises an im-

other matters, this duodecimo contains a complete

remarkably legibly printed.

REFORM AT BRISTOL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia,-You will be glad to learn that we have not forgotten
the Reform Bill, neither are we disgusted with it, as the
Opposition would have it. A requisition to the Mayor
is now in course of signature, calling a public meeting cif
the eit'zetp, to give them an opportunity of approving

H use of Commons, and to petition the Lords to pass the
same. This would not have been done but for the asser-
tion of Sir C. Wetherell and Mr. Hunt, that the people
did not approve of the Bill. Bristol will meet, and its
language will convey in a proper tone, that nothing will
satisfy them but the Bill. A FREEMAN.

been seized in this way in the village,but, by instantaneous
bleeding and warm applications, all have recovered. But
in town there is no doubt that a great many have died of
the real cholera. Mr. W. loses his own house, and part
of his furniture ; Mr. E. nearly all his furniture ; Mr. S.

year's rent ; Mr. M. part of his funiture ; Mr. C. all ;
Mr. B. all ; Mr. L. all. From all the Ambassadors' Pa-
laces not a single thing was saved ; and our own Ambas-
sador loses about 4,0001. in diamonds, plate, &c., belong-

nobody was in town to shut the iron shutters of the stone
houses, or to throw a little water on the roofs of the
I' daces, or it would have been impossible for them to have

BRIGHTON, DEC. 2.

Yesterday his MAJESTY gave audience to Mr. ROBERT
GRANT and Colonel GREY : then his MAJESTY, ac-
companied by her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA,
took an airing in a carriage and four, with two out•
riders, as far as Rottingdean, back along the cliff to
Brunswick-terrace, and returned to the Palace about
four o'clock.
Her MAJESTY enjoyed a carriage airing along the East

LOUISE.
Lady MARY TAYLOR took leave this morning, and re-
turned to London.
Colonel THORNTON arrived last evening, and joined the
Royal suite.

GUSTA) arrived last evening at the Palace from London.
The Royal dinner party last evening included the Royal
suite and household, the Hon. Mrs, and Miss CAVENDISH,
and Rear-Admiral Tiloan-sox.
His MAJESTY having signified his intention of opening
the ensuing session of Parliament in person, will proceed
on Monday next, accompanied by her MAJESTY, to Lon-
don, where they will remain until Friday, on which day
they will return to the Pavilion. The necessary portion

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Extract of a letter from Itungpore, of the 7th of August, in
the Bombay Papers arrived yesterday :—" The inundations
have come down with a vengeance this year, the river being
now higher by a foot than it was at any period the preceding
year, and of course most of the indigo plant is under water, and
we never have witnessed such weather. We had a shock of an
earthquake yesterday, which made the old factory dance again.
Now imagine our melancholy prospects."
(From the Bombay Paper of Aug. 6.)
We understand there are authentic accounts that an incur-
sion had been made into Cutch by a body of five or six hundred
marauders, from the north, sweeping the country at large. A
wing of the 2d Bombay Light Cavalry has been ordered into
Cutch, to protect the inhabitants.
THE FUNDS.
Hamburg and Dutch mails have arrived this morning, but we
do not hear any thing of importance as yet by them. The Dutch
funds come nearly the same as per last account, therefore, we
may conclude that his Dutch Majesty has not as yet given any
positive answer.
Up to the present time we are rather dull in the City, ancrwith-
outany animation in the Funds, owing to the near approach of the
meeting of Parliament, to which the British nation at this no-
went looks with great anxiety.
We hear that the commercial accounts from Manchester are
unfavourable ; business at a stand, and a large stock of goods on
hand which they cannot dispose of. This is attributed to the
cholera on the Continent, which causes a great stagnation of
commerce.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 5.'1,436 for the account,
opened this morning at the same price. Scarce a bargain has yet
been done.
We have seen private letters from Amsterdam, stating that
the Dutch Government is making every exertion, and preparing
against an attack from the five Powers. They are
the putt it izg the
fortresses in a state of defence, to be garrisoned by ens,
while the regular troops are to defend the frontiers.
HALF-PAST ONE.
We still continue in the same dull state as in the early
part of the morning, and up to the present hour. have
not heard of any express having arrived from Paris in the
city, consequently the Funds are in a state of stagna-
tion!, and Consols have continued the whole of the morn.

Another remittance has arrived from Pernambuco of
7,000/., to pay the Brazil dividends. A million sterling
is expected from the East Indies.

Their MAJESTIES, it is settled, will leave the
Pavilion, at Brighton, on Monday morning, at
eight o'clock, for their Palace, at St. James's,
preparatory to the opening of Parliament on
Tuesday.

The conclave in Charles-street is sitting with
increased assiduity, and acting with increased
energy, as the Session approaches nearer. Sir
ROBERT PEEL, we understand, fills the honour-
able office of Chairman of this righteous and
public-spirited assembly, and we wish him joy
of so dignified a position. His coadjutors need
not be named. They are too well known as the
individuals who have already so offensively put
themselves forth to resist the wants and wishes
of the nation, and we have no desire to excite
afresh against their persons the torrent of popu-
lar indignation. The conclave is well organized,
with branches in the country, and spies in every
one of the Political Unions, which fact we re-
commend to the especial attention of those asso-
ciations, who should be carefully on the watch
for enemies in their camp. The conclave, more-
over, is well backed by the alms of the faithful
to the rotten cause, who continue to contribute
unsparingly towards the frustration of the Bill
which is to prevent the plunder of the public in
future. According to our information, the or-
ganization of this Charles-street conclave is such,
as to render its legality a matter of much doubt.
Leaving this point, however, to the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL, we must take leave to observe that
an assembly more shameless in its views, and
more audacious in its conduct, never before
existed in the course of our history. Faction is
ever intemperate, but when stimulated by the
desire of plunder it will stick at nothing.
The reports of conversions among the Peers
are so vague, and unsatisfactory, that we cannot
attach to them the credit which some of our
contemporaries appear to give them. It is not
in human nature for a highwayman to give up
his booty, or a borough-jobber his usurpation,
without a struggle, and we entertain little doubt
that the boroughmongers will, to a man, die
game. What then is it for Government to do ?
To suffer the KING, Ministers, House of
Commons, and people of England, to be a
second time defeated by Sir ROBERT PEEL,
and his knot of mercenary adventurers in Charles-
street ? Never has such disgrace yet fallen
upon a Cabinet, as that which would over•
whelm Ministers in the event of a second
defeat. Lord GREY knows he must an-
swer to the country for a second failure,

COURT CIRCULAR.

The Ambassadors and Ministers of Russia, Austria,
France, and Prussia, assembled at three o'clock yesterday
afternoon at the Foreign-office, and held a conference,
which lasted some hours, with Viscount PALMERSTON.—
Previous to attending the conference, Viscount PALMER-
STON had a long interview with Earl GREY at the Treasury.
A Cabinet Council was held at nine o'clock last night at
the Foreign-office.
The LORD CHANCELLOR visited Earl GREY yesterday

BIAY.

It is said that May, when a youth, was for some time
at a boarding-school, and was afterwards placed in a solici-
tor's office, which he abandoned for the profession of a
butcher. He afterwards became a cart-driver, a horse-
stealer, and an approver, and was a well-known resur-
rectionist. .

It is to be strongly apprehended that Bishop and his
;Aesociates were not the only persons engaged in such a
murderous traffic, for it may be recollected that about four
years ago several boxes and trunks containing dead bodies
were detected at Liverpool on their way to Ireland ; and it
may be also recollected that about that period the principal
house-breakers in the district of Whitechapel all at once
became body-snatchers; and when it is calculated the faci-
lity afforded to such demons by the desertion of children,
orphans, or those refused into workhouses, but above
all the facility which was and is afforded them by the
threepenny beds in Wentworth-street and Grange-yard, and
which are greedily sought after by strange labourers with-
out connexions, with such facts we can only guess and
fear the extent of the mischief.

A dress of pale salmon.coloured gros de Naples, lightly figured
in a new pattern. The corsage is made high, to sit close to the
shape, and ornamented only with a fold of the same material,

form behind, with ends which descend below the knee. It is
very full trimmed round the bust, and finished with a ruff at
the throat. The hat is of white Bros de Naples, the ribbon that
trims it is rose.colour and white, with a slight intermixture of
brun hanneten.

THOU ART GONE TO SLEEP, MY BROTHER

BV R. A. WIL3IOIT.
jFrom Ackernzann's Juvenile Forget-Me-Not for 1832.)

Thou art gone to sleep, my brother,
In the beauty of thy glee ;
Thy face is dwelling with thy mother,
Thy pleasant voice with me.

Thou art gone to sleep, my brother,
Beneath some Eden tree ;
We weep, and look upon each other—r
Oh, that we look'd on thee:

The Sabbath stillness cometh round
Our fireside like a melody ;
One voice is hush'd in our hymn—
One absent from our company!
My sister's hand is on her book,
How sweet her teaching used to be;
Now aloud she readeth not,
Thou art not at her knee!

I will not weep--for oftentimes
In memory's light a face will shine,
A gentle voice be in my ear,
A little hand in mine.

THE BILL.—A little girl at Sheffield, hear-
ing a deal said about the passing of the Bill, asked, with
great simplicity, " will it pass our door ?"

In one of' the political goSsip shops at the
West end of the town, on Saturday, a warm controversy
was car, ied on relating to the vote given by twenty-one
Bishops in tEe House of Lords, on the last debate on the
Reform Bill; a violent Ultra-Tory exclaimed, " are they
not the pillars of the State ?" " Yes," rejoined a well-
known wit—" caterpillars."

York, said "As to instilling true taste into them (the
Americans),

PROVINCIAL CRITIQUE.—A northern writer
has this pleasing passlge:—" At length the infuriated
Moor seizes a bolster full of rage and jealousy, and de-
stroys Desdens,na."

VOTE BY BALLOT.—At the Devon County
Sessions last week, ➢lr. ELTON gave notice of motion for
the election of all county officers in future by ballot. [lt
may be asked, if election by ballot in the case of county
officers be the most eligible mode, must it not be so in the
more important election of Members of Parliament.)—
Falmouth Packet.

CountW A LEWS xi, who acted as the represent-
ative (in this country) of the unfortunate Poles, broke up his
establishment in St. James's-place on Saturday, and has left
town for Paris. A very affecting scene took place on the
domestics being told to put aside the tri-coloured cockade,
the emblem of the nation now extinct.

A farther grant of 6,0001, has been obtainei
from Government for completing the College buildings a
Edinburgh.

We understand that the Marquis PALMELLA
has come over to this country for the purpose of taking the
command of the expedition fitting out against the depot
of Pg- tugal. The Portuguese officers, both in this country
and France, have received directions to rendezvous at par-
ticular sea-ports by a fixed period, where the men-of-war
will embark them.

FEES IN THE CUSTOMS.

An Act of some importance comes into effect the 19th
of November, 1881.
It repeals the 6th Geo. IV., cap. 106, whizh permits
officers and clerks in the Customs to assist merchants and
others " at their desire, in framing and passing entries
wards and outward., and to receive such fee freely given
for the sante, as the Commissioners of his Majesty's Trea-
sury shall permit."
The new Act provides, that from and after the 19th of ;govern.
ber it shall be lawful for the Commissioners of his Majesty's Cus-
toms to authorise the proper officers to demand, on the passing of
every entry, the sum of
And upon the issuing of any cocket, if such rocket be for
British goods •
Or if such eotket be for foreign goods, or for foreign
wines, or spirits contained in glass, the sum of 2 6
" Provided always that all such charges shall be carried
and applied towards any superannuation fund for the officers
ot Customs, or applied, reduced, or abolished, all the Com-
missioners of his Majesty's Treasury be pleased to direct."
