THE /TxDs.

We have no arrivals of cons, quence, and Consols, which
left off yesterday at 84k, opened at the same price, and at
present may be quoted 84i• -I-, with little or nothing doing.

HALF-PAST ONE.

We perceive that the Gazette de France states, that
courier has arrived at Paris to the Russian Ambassador
from St. Petersburgb, authorizing the Russian Ambas-
sador to join with the Conference in making a declaration
of the good understanding which exists between the Great
Powers, and from which a general disarmament must be
expected.
In addition to the above paragraph, we can state from
good authority that it is correct. This avowed intention of
the Emperor of Russia is entirely contradictory of what ha•
been stated in other Journals, that he would not ratify
the treaty with Holland, as well as his instructions to his
Ambassador in London ; therefore the moment the Five
Powers begin to disarm, Holland must do the same.
Consols have continued during the whole of the morning
at 844• altrrnately buyers and sellers, without the least
animation in the market.
Several journals have announced that the nest 'Belgian
Scrip was coming out to-morrow, which we do not be-
lieve to be correct, and we bear it will not come out for
some days.

WALTER'S ANISEED PILLS.—It
is generally acknowledged that these Pills are the
most efficacious for the cure of the above distressing com-
plaints, as they neither affect the bead, nor confine the
bowels, which is an objection to most Cough Medicines.
The following is one of the numerous testimonials :.-

CITY. TWELVE O' CL 0 CK.
By accounts from Brussels by the French mail, thiii
morning, it appears that extraordinary activity pre•
veils in the Government there. Within a few days not
less than seven couriers and three estafettes had arrived at
Brussels from the different Courts of the North ; and nine
couriers were sent off—four by M. Adair, three from Ge-
neral Belliard, and two from the Minister of Foreign
Affairs.
Accounts from Vienna of the 12th December state that
M. (1:. Mollerus, the new Dutch Envoy, was expected
there or► that day; but no doubt was entertained that he
would not be able to change the intentions of Prince Met-
ternich in acknowledging King Leopold.
Calcutta Papers to the sth of August have been re-
ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house.

SADLER'S WELLS.

A new Christitat pantomime was produced at this theatre
last night entitled, "The Ocean Queen, or Harlequin and the
Enckant h• Aloe." It would pertiVe b'e difficult in the present
times t. odaceang tricks into this specie 3 3f Pntertainment
whit ve the appearance of novelty. Theft' rtic a cer.
ta. ractical jokes, which are annually re-produced
-nt of the holiday company, and which seldom
fa executed, to have the desired effect. The panto-
mime at this theatre could not bout of much novelty, but it
was not deficient in a sufficient number of tricks, which were
in general well managed, and the pantomime seas announced
for repetition amidst general approbation.
London, England, 1831-12-27

THE ()L YMPIC.

The performances last night were " Misapprehension,"
" Gervaise Skinner," and a new piece with the attractive title
of " Olympic Devils." The grand source of laughter and mer-
riment was to be found in the new piece, which wound up the
performances of the evening. It is a comico-musical extrava-
ganza, founded on the well-known tale of" Orpheus and Eury-
dice." In the first scene Pluto, with his judicial assistants,
are discovered busily enjoying themselves over sundry bowls of
" blue ruin," while Madame Proserpine and her amiable at-
tendants, the Fates and Furies, are engaged in sipping cups of
coffee in a style that might do honour to more exalted regions.
The descent of Orpheus (who was charmingly per.onated by
Madame Vestris), his musical contest, in the presence of the
infernal deities, with Old Scratch (an excellent performer, a la
Paganini)—his subsequent ascent, misfortunes, and final tri.
umph, were very laughably represented, combined as they
were with many extravagant incidents and amusing absurdities.
The scenery was very admirably managed, the performers
exerted themselves with much effect, and the piece was an-
nounced for repetition amidst great applause.:
London, England, 1831-12-27

BOW-STREET.

I The merry-making season of Christmas brought
oo
a more than usual number of night charges to the
office yesterday. Amongst the number, blind
Jemmy, a well-known itinerant player on the Scotch
5° I pipes, formerly in the 42d regiment of Highlanders,
was brought before Mr. HALLS by Magrath, an
Irish police constable, who charged him with having
been drunk and disorderly in Bow-street, on the
night of Saturday.
Magrath stated, that he never in all his experi-
ence saw a man behave himself so violently. He
danced, kicked, and jumped about like a madman ;
and when requested to be quiet, he danced and
cursed the more. At length he (Magrath) at-
tempted to seized him, when he kicked him
violently in. the stomach, and it was not withour the
assistance of five constables that the defendant was
at last secured, and taken to the station.
Blind Jemmy, in answer to the charge, pleaded
in a strong Scotch accent, that he was going quietly
home when a friend met him, who treated him to a
tumbler of whiskey punch, which came as natural
to him as mother's milk, and this being followed by
two gla-ses of the " mountain dew," in its native
purity, caused him to kick—so completely to forget
himself, that he even forgot he was blind.—
(Laughter.) " Whiskey, your Honour knows,"
said blind Jemmy, " is my native drink, and if I
had not got a wee drop too much, I should have been
as quiet as a child."
Mr. HALLS—WeII, Jemmy, you may go thi-
time, provided you can speak pretty to the con-
stable, and endeavour to prevail upun him to forgive
your kicking him.
"Lord bless your Honour," said the defendant," it
I had my pipes with me I'd play the gentleman one
of my ould Scotch drones that would soon soften
his heart."
" Arrah, be aisy," said Magrath, " it isn't myself
that's going to be hard upon a poor blind piper for a
little bit of a kiek."—(A laugh.)
Blind Jemmy was accordingly suffered to depart,
but warned not to indulge himself with Scotch

Q UEEN S.

The present dish of the season is entitled " The World
turned upside down, or, Harlequin Reformer." The gods
assembled in solemn conclave are joined by Mercury, who
heralds the approach of Sir Omnibus Mundungus, a London
Knight, Plenipotentiary from Earth to the High Court of
Olympus. The Knight complains to Jove of the necessity of
Reform" on the sublunary planet, and charges Atlas with
being addicted to the bottle. Atlas is summoned to answer for
biralf, and in indignation to the c,harge, turns" the world

upside down." Sir Niundungue revisits earth, and finds diat, in
the inverted state of terrestrial affairs, the softer sex has as_
stinted the ascendancy, and that he must henceforth bend to
the supremacy of his spouse. Their son, Captain Leander, is
carried off to Gretna-green by Miss Hera; en the road they
are overtaken by the swain's parents, when the Genius
of Reform interferes, and sends the lovers forth, as Harlequin
and Columbine, to reform the world and themselves.—
There was not much novelty in the tricks displayed, nor were
any of the " hits' at current impositions and abuses very " pal.
pable " There Wm A succession of scenes entitled the " Cale-
donian Diorama," which was rather prettily executed. The
piece wound up according to the use and wont that have pre-
vailed since the time of Rich.

COBURG.

Judging by the entertaitiments of last evening, there has
been no *ant of exertion on the part of the spirited manage-
Meld of this theatre to provide for the arntlterrient of that por-
tion of " my &bile which prefers seeing and hztriltg a play
in a comparatively sMall house, at a moderate price, toff tele-
scopic view of a stage and its Contents, at a large house, and at
a large price. An " entirely new rotlalitic melo-drama," en-
titled the " Wizard Skiff," and a new comic pantomime, called
" HarleVn and the Witch of Edmonton," were produced,
and so far as we Mild form an opinion from the very small por-
tions of the dialogue which their high mightinesses of the gal-
lery permitted to reach our ears, seemed entitled to the applause
which was so lavishingly bestowed upon them. The pantomime
was, as usual, full of fun and bustle. Its most attrac,ive fea-
ture, however, was Mr, Phillips's " Dioramic Annual," comtcris.
ing a picturesque tour from! 11e iv York to Hudson River, in a
series of scenes, many of which Welt *evy beautiful.

to present a petition of a somewhat different character,
though upon the same subject. It was hot very nu-
merously, bit he understood it was most respectably,
signed : it came from the Rector, Churchwarden., Over-
seers, Landholders, and Inhabitants of the parish of ?die-
klemarsh, in the county of Southampton. The peti-
tioners admitted that they had no objection to triennial
Parliaments—none to the transfer of franchises from cer-
tain boroughs to a limited number of great towns—but
they deprecated the vote by ballot, annual Parliaments,
universal suffrage, or anything approaching what was
called Radical Reform.

Lord ALTHORP presented a petition in favour of Re•
form, from Pembroke.

Mr. G. LAMB, a similar petition from Melbourne.
Mr. JOHN WOOD, in presenting a petition in favour
of Reform, from the city of York, said that if the
which the Noble Lord was to bring forward to-morrow did
not embrace the large towns, he should feel it his duty to
submit to the House a measure on the subject ; for there
were many of the great towns that stood as much in need
of Reform as any other places sending Members to that
House ; as the borough of Evesham, for example. He
professed himself ready to accept what the Ministers might
propose or the House agree to; that is, he would accept it for
the present ; but the Reformers would not remain inert.
The Hon. Member then presented a similar petition from

representations made to hi:n tit the merchants on the
subject.
Mr. J. WOOD rejoiced that the duty had been taken
off the printed calicoes, and regretted that any do;,y had
been laid on the raw article. The merchants were in-
clined to feel satisfied with this tax, because they under-
stood it was to he only temporary.
Mr. Alderman WAITHAIAN mentioned several houses
which would suffer materially from not having the draw.
back allowed on the stock in hand. He hoped that the
Noble Lord would do something to assist them. He
wished to know whether the Noble Lord had made up his
mind to adhere to his present proposition.
The CHANCELLOR cf the EXCHEQUER sail, that
on the best consideration he was determined to stand by
that which he had already proposed—namely, to allow r.
drawbalk for three months :on goods printed for expor-
tation since January, 1830.
Mr. ROBINSON concurred in the proposition of the
Noble Lord.

Mr. GOULBURN sugested, that as there was no
duty whatever on piloted cottons in Irchend, the deatere of
Manchester would be induced to ship their goods to an ini •
raense amount at Liverpool, and to transport them, b‘•
means of stearn-teoat,,, to Dublin, on the chance of a sale in

the sister kingdom during the three months which would
elapse before the allowance of a drawhick was to be di,
continued. He had always thought this duty on printed
cottcns highly objectionable ; but the quest on was, what
other duty would they find eligible to substitute? And
that question, be candidly confessed, it was not in his power
to answer.

Air. RICE supported the resolution, on the ground tl.at
a permanent grievance was worse than a temporary in-
convenience, which would be amply counterbalanced by
the lienefit that would hereafter accrue from the policy of
Government.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed
with the Hon. Gentleman, and took the opportunity to
state, that it was not his intention to abandon the timber
duties with their proposed alterations ; on the contrary,
he would brim, that subject before the Howe on Friday,

if there should be time after the discussion of the Colonial
Trade Bill, already ppoin'ed for that d y.
The resolutions were then agreed to, the !louse re-
sumed, the report was brought up, anti ordered to he re.
ceived thin day (Tuesday).

NATIONAL CONGRESS—Strrixc o FEB. 24.

In this sitting the order of the day was the election of a
Regent. The number of members present was 157. The
votes were divided as follow, viz.:—

For M. Surlet de Chokier 1 Cri

M. de Gerlache

The President (M. Gerlache)-1 recommend the most
profound silence. M. Surlet de Chokier haring obtained
the majority of the rotes, is proclaimed Regent of Bel-
gium. Ile will not enter on the exercise of his functions
until he shall have taken the oath,—(The President lead
the form of the oath.)
Unanimous and loud acclamations proceeded at once
ficat the Hall and the galleries.
A deputation of 10 Members was drawn by lot to wait
t•ipon the newly-elected Regent. The sitting was sus-
pended fur an hour and a half, till the return of the de-
putation, when the Vice-President, with much emotion,
Gentlemen,—Your Commission has performed
the duty which you confided to it. Received by your
worthy President with the kindness which is the charm of
his character, with an emotion which soon communicated
itself to all the Members of your Commission, we could
hardly exchange a few words. I said to M. Surlet de
Chokier that his name had been hailed with general accla-
mations by the Assembly and the public ; that his nomi-
nation was a splendid proof of national gratitude, given
to a life without reproach, and to signal servic- I ren-
dered to the cause of the country in difficult services
Two sentiments appeared to me much to affect our
worthy President; first, the high mark of esteem given
him by this august Assembly, which is only the organ of
the nation itself, and secured by the engagement taken
with himself to make this last sacrifice to his country in
circumstances of the difficulty of which 1,6 is fully sen-
sible. After a long career,' said he, what better use
ran I make of the days which I have still to lire than to
offer them to my country? But do not f.rget that I have
reed of your friendship and co-operation. Go and tell
my Hon. Colleagues that I accept the office of Ren-ent which
they have thought fit to confer on me, and thatbl will to •
morrow corop:y with the wishes cf the Assembly.' "

TO NEWS-VENDERS AND SUBSCRIBERS.

As several Patters are daily returned to The Sun Office, from
the General Post-office, in consequence of the Subscribers' ad-
dresses not being correctly written by the Newsmen, it is parti-
cularly requested that Newsmen may in future print or write
their own address on the covers, in order the more readily to fiici-

litate the regular transmission of the Papers. It frequently hap-
pens that owing to this omission, Subscribers when changing
their places of residence, have occasion to write to The Sun Othce
on the subject, forgetting that the names of their News Agents
are far more likely to be known to themselves than at the Office.
The error seems to originate in the idea that London Newspapers
are supplied from the (Alice direct, in the same way as Provincial
Papers. This is not the case. The distribution of the London
Newspapers is a distinct business, employing upwards of a thou-
sand persons daily and weekly.

and Mary, 'when the Court of Aldermen appointed the
masters of the 12 principal companies to he the citizens to
assist the chief butler, and have continued to appoint
the masters of the 12 principal companies to perform
the same duty, up to the Coronation of King George
the Fourth, when, in consequence of the masters
of some of the companies being changed between
the time of Their having been chosen by the Mayor
and Aldermen, and the day of the Coronation, new mis-
ters presented petitions to the Court of Claims, praying
to have their names inserted instead of the former toasters,
whose period of office had expired. This petition was
opposed by the City Remembrancer, who strongly urged
that the masters of the twelve companies had no right to
interfere in the matter, it being in the power of the Lord
Mayor and Aldermen to appoint any twelve citizens they
might think proper, when, after some delibera'ion, the
Lord President declared the opinion of the Lords Commis.
sioners to be, that the Court of Claims could not interfere
in the matter of the petition, as the power of appointment
of the twelve citizens was in the Lord Mayor and Court of
Aldermen.
•' Having thus clearly shown that the appointment of
the twelve citizens has been invariably exercised by the
Court of Aldermen since the reigla of King Henry VIII.,
we are decidedly of opinion that the masters of the twelve
principal companies have no peculiar right to serve on such
occasions, but that the Court of Aldermen have the power
to appoint any twelve citizens they may think proper, to
assist the chief butler at Coronations."
The Lord Mayor not being required to act as Butler
to the King, will not receive the fee of the gold cup, at
the Coronation—none of the citizens of London (with the
exception of the Aldermen and Sheriffs) arc to be in at-
tendance.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six,—l observe with unfeigned satisfaction that a let-
ter, subscribed " A Friend to the Navy," published in the
Hampshire Telegraph of the 22d ult., is warmly followed
up by more able pens, which, with great feeling and ability,
have advocated the cause of that body of his Majesty's
servants, whose needy state, from the inadequacy of their
half-pay, renders them powerful claimants on the merci-
ful consideration of our beloved and gracious King.
Pursers, though generally understood to be gentlemen by
birth and education, and received by the highest ranks in
his Majesty's service as fit associates, are not only excluded
from an equality of half-pay with other ward-room officers,
but their destitute orphans are not allowed the privilege of
admission to those public institutions which reflect honour
on our country, on the plea that their fathers did nut hold
commissions. Rank, but for this latter consideration, would
be deemed quite a secondary object, but when the want of
it presents an insuperable barrier to the admission of their
bereaved offspring to the admirable institution, benevo-
lently founded by the sister of our beloved Monarch, her
Royal Highness the Pi incess Augusta, and others, afford-
ing similar advantages, I would earnestly hut humbly peti-
tion his most gracious Majesty to weigh their claims and
services with those of other officers, and place them on a
footing with the Commissariat of the army. I am induced
to forward these remarks for your insertion, having seen
a letter to the same effect in your paper of the 13th ult.
