Orders received

HAMBURGH, DEC. 12.
ON approieh of the COMMENCEMENT of
JANUARY, all those who may have 1 o write to us before that
time, are requested to do so without delay, and to be particular in
directing,
HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGH,
and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage
only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus
101., 20/., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One hank of Eng-
land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in
two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there-
fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham-
burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive
Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when-
ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England,
surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may
rather he made in Bills of Exchange, on London. We request not
to overlook these particulars.
lIEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURGI!.
P.S. To persons having to remit 81., on receiving a Ten Pound
Note, we return Two Pound in the cheapest way possible.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 28, 1836,

The vaunted victory of the Conservatives of Glas-
gow begins now to look not much unlike a defeat ; for

though they have been able to raise Sir ROBERT
PEEL to the dignity of Lord Rector, yet they have
failed in their efforts to obtain for him the freedom of
the city ; so that his triumph is, to say the best of it,

but half a triumph—a great-cry-and-little-wcol sort o
afFair, inexpressibly ludicrous to those who know the
great pains that have been taken to represent it as a
total overthrow of the Reform party in Glasgow. It
seems that at a recent meeting of the Town Coun-
cil, on a proposition having been made to present
the Baronet with the freedom of the city, a
gentleman named DOUGLA S moved an amendment
to the effect, that " this Reformed Council, who
owe their seats to that Reform which was opposed
by the party of which Sir R. PEEL was the leader,
cannot, without stultifying themselves, offer him a vote
of approbation." This amendment, on being put to
the vote, was carried by a majority that will, we fear,
occasion many long faces among the Glasgow Conser-
vatives, who, it is, evident, had anticipated a far dif-
ferent result. As these gentry, however, are never at
a loss to give a plausible reason for any political disap-
pointment they may experience, they will, of course,
attribute the shame of their defeat to the snow-
storm. Had it not been for the very cavalier be-
haviour of this tempest, they will tell us, the supporters
of Sir ROBERT PEEL would have far out-numbered
his opponents ; but just as a party of the former were
on their road to give a vote in his favour, they were
caught by the storm, which fairly snowed them up,
and prevented them reaching the place of destination
until it was too late for them to be of any use. There
is more virtue in a snow-storm than the majority of
people imagine. It is a rank democrat in politics,
for, as may have been observed, it invariably confines
its power of annoyance to Conservatives. When Sir
ROBERT PEEL'S Ministry, for instance, was out-
voted in the House of Commons last February
twelvemonths, it was entirely owing (as the Standard
assured us) to a plaguy snow-storm, which:snowed up all
the Tory Members who were hurrying to London, and
let the Reformers go free, without inconveniencing
them by a single flake. In like manner this same one-
sided tempest has intercepted the Glasgow Bailies on
their way to the Town Council—so at least the local
Tory journals will make a point of assuring their
readers, by way of reconciling them to their severe dis-
appointment. Considering the period at which this
disappointment has occurred, we know not that the
Tory faction in Glasgow have ever received a more
mortifying one. It has come on them like a cold,
withering blight, just at the moment when they were
raising shouts of exultation, and bidding the people
look to the re-action that had taken place in the me-
tropolis of the west of Scotland. Though Sir RO-
BERT be Lord Rector of the University, and a man of
high rank and influence in the political community,
yet a majority of the Town-councillors of Glasgow feel
that they cannot offer him a vote of approbation " with-
out stultifying themselves." They have no objection
to pay him a compliment as a gentleman of accomplished
mind and of high moral worth, but as a politician
