HAMBURG, SEPT. 28, 1836.
OUR Friends, and all those who may have to write
to us, are requested to be particular in directing,
HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURG,
and to observe, that a letter with ono inclosure doubles the Postage
only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus
101., 201., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank 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 llamburgh, 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 be made in Bills of Exchange, on London.
To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our
Correspondents not to overlook these partHiculars.
EINE BROTHERS.

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 21, 1S;;6.

'';re whole of the Paris Papers of Wednesday have
been received. The trial of the individuals accused of
participation in the gun-powder plot of the Rue
d'Orsine, commenced on Monday. The proceedings
excited no public interest, and whatever be their re-
sult, it is unlikely that the nation will trouble itself
further about the matter. FONTAINE and URSEL,
the two villains seized on a charge of meditating the
assassination of the KING on the 28th of July last, will
be tried by the Cour d'Assizes instead of by the Court
of Peers. This is the first indication we have had
•of the good sense of the Minister of Justice. Had
FIESCIII and his accomplices been tried by the or-
dim.try tribunals, the crime of ALIBAUD would never
have been committed.
The KING'S sister, the Princess ADELAIDE, is
seriously indisposed.
On Monday last the Austrian Ambassador enter-
tained at dinner the whole of the French Ministers,
.and the entire diplomatic body. On the same evening
a courier from St. Petersburgh brought dispatches from
fount NESSELRODE to Count Pozzo DI BORGO,
reonesting him to hasten his departure for London.
M. POZZO DI BORGO purposely delays his arrival
here, in order that he may watch the movements of
Prince' ESTERHAZY.

Nott.ing further is known respecting the final settle-
ment of the Swiss question. Count MOLE has sent
M. DE 11OUGEMONT on a secret mission to the Di-
rectory, the purport of which is supposed to refer to
the necessity of a speedy amicable arrangement of
all differences, and to explain the nature of the satis-
faction which the Diet will be expected to make to
France. All the French Ministers seek is to get cre-
ditably out of a very ridiculous and degrading dilemma.
PAltts, OCT. 19.—New measures have just been adopted
by the -Minister of War to hinder the introduction into
Spain of succour of every kind sent to Don Carlos. The
strictest orders on this subject have been transmitted to the
competent authorities.
M. de Rothschild is among the number of those persons
who have paid their compliments to the King of the Bel-

glans.
The Montebello (of the line) at the date of the last
letters from Toulon, had completed her stock of provisions,
and would be able to put to sea on the first order. Rear
Admiral Gallons may therefore hoist his flag on board
that ship.
We learn from Tarbes that the planters of St. Domingo
in that department are signing a new pew petition to the
Chamber for the payment of the indemnity for their estates
ceded to Hayti, by a treaty, and the payment of which was
promised by the law of the 30th of April, 1836, within three
years. Thus the Chambers will again echo in the next
session, with the just complaints of the planters deprived by
a treaty of their property, for a miserable indemnity which
there is no inclination to pay, or cause to be paid.
Dr. Bowring, M.P., is now at Lyons, whence he will
proceed to the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, on a com-
mercial mission from the English Government.
It is in contemplation to make a great reduction of the
several Ministerial offices, in which the number of clerks,
&c. has become exorbitant.

It is certain that the French Government is preparing
to erect a port at St. Taneille.—Journal du Commerce,

BOURSE, QUARTER TO FOUR.—Our Bourse has been very
animated, both in business and in prices. The Three per
Cents. were done at 78f. 60c. at Tortoni's, and improved on
the Bourse to 78f. 80c. No reason is assigned for it, but the
to steadiness of the Three per Cent. Consols. The Spanish
lest Active Stock, opened at 20f, rose to 2q-, and are again 201.
Messrs. Chauvitan and Co., Spanish merchants, have
no posted up a notice on 'Change, stating that they will take
10 charge of the receipts on the Havannah when exchanged for
1k coupons. Most of the bondholders, particularly the small
me ones, have resolved not to change their coupons for the Ha-
vannah receipts.
The Three per Cents. got up to 78f. 90c., and have receded
am' to 78f. 65c. It is reported that Gomez has entered Grenada,

Lsltters and papers from Madrid to the 13th inst.,
have been received this morning. It appears from
them that the reported defeat of the Carlist chief
GomEz before the gates of Cordova was a gross fabri-
cation. Instead of suffering a defeat, GOMEZ made

himself master of the city, which he sacked, after pos-
sessing himself of all the church plate found in the
Cathedral, and having rested for seven days, he took
the road to Montilla, carrying with him an immense
quantity of booty, and upwards of 2,000 of the Na-
tional Guards, and other inhabitants of Cordova, as
prisoners. A portion of the army of GOMEZ fell in
with a corps of the Malaga militia, under ESCALANTE,
when the latter took to their heels at the first onset,
leaving 500 prisoners in the hands of the Carlists.
GOMEZ left Cordova on the 7th, and on the Sth
ALAIX'S division left Jaen for Granada, where Qui-
ROGA, the Captain-General, was stationed to in-
tercept the flight of the rebels. And now that
Cordova is sacked, General SAN MARTIN, after

he usual fashion with the QUEEN'S valiant army

is rapidly marching at the head of nine thousand
" tall fellows." to protect the inhabitants from in-
sult. When the steed is stolen, these heroes talk of
fastening the door.
But though it cannot be supposed that the sacking
of Cordova, iby a flying enemy, will of itself seri-
ously affect the triumph of the Constitutional cause,
we are compelled to regard it as a further evidence of
the fact that treason is at work in the councils of the
QUEEN-REGENT. Surrounded by so many enemies,
GOMEZ neither could nor would have attacked a city
so easily defended as Cordova, had he not been certain
that he had friends within the walls as staunch as any
without. Then again, what are we to think of his
undisturbed occupation of such a city for a period of
seven days, in the face of four separate divisions of the
QUEEN'S army ! ALAlx's pretext for not continuing
his pursuit of GOMEZ is worse than ridiculous. One
hundred soldiers would have conveyed twice as many
prisoners as he made during his whole route, from one
end of Europe to the other. The fact was, that his
prisoners consisted of some straggling raw recruits,
whom it Was a waste of time to capture. Permitted
to wander whither they pleased, they would have re-
turned peaceably to their homes. But ALAIx wanted
to appear a conqueror, without exposing himself to
any great risk in the acquirement of laurels. Imitating,
therefore, his renowned countryman's exploits in the
enchanted cavern, he mistook peasants for soldiers, as
his illustrious prototype did bats for giants ; and im-
mediately set about a performance unequalled since
the clays Of BLACK MORE'S "Prince Vortigern"—
namely, stripping the naked. Then followed a
flaming dispatch addressed to the Minister, in
which the conqueror read the burial service over
the " flower of the Guipuzcoan troops." Rejoic-
ings are heard on all sides, and in the interval
following a burst of national gratitude, out comes the
Gazette with the petrifying intelligence that the Car-
list fugitives had taken and sacked the ancient city of
Cordova, and after reposing for several days within its
walls, had departed laden with booty, and leading as
prisoners two thousand of the inhabitants ! General
Rolm, ought to lose no time in sifting this affair to
the bottom. Our observations have reference to, and
are based upon facts which cannot escape his notice.
We know R owl., to he as honest as he is brave, and
therefore we take leave to impress upon him the ne-
cessity of counteracting the machinations of the Carlists.
The capital remained as tranquil as at any period
since the proclamation of the Constitution. The peo-
ple begin to look forward to the meeting of the Cortes
with an intense interest. The QUEEN appears daily
in public, and is everywhere received with loud accla-
mations of joy by the people.

German and Brussels papers have been received.
The cholera has made its appearance in Bosnia, so
that the inhabitants have to contend with death in the
double form of war and pestilence. The appearance
of this awful scourge has spread consternation among
the Turkish soldiery.

Advices from Munich of the 12th instant state that
the Government has given orders for the supply of the
necessary funds and information, for removal of such
families to North America as may choose to emigrate
to that part of the New World. In Vienna, nothing
is talked of but the aspect of affairs in Spain.
We have no news worth communicating from any
part of Belgium. The Journals do not state when
the KING is expected to return to Brussels from
Paris ; nor is it known whether his visit to the French
Court has reference to the marriage of the Princess
MARY to the King of NAPLES, or to the more
homely business of raising another loan among the
French capitalists.

Letters from Constantinople of the 28th of Septem-
ber, state that a report had reached the Turkish capital
of the sudden death of MEIIEMET ALI. The report
was communicated in commercial letters from Aleppo
of the date of the 9th and 16th of that month.

Should it prove to be correct it will lead to most im.
portant changes in the policy to be observed by Eng
land in the affairs of the East.

The Porte had received despatches announcing
a decisive victory over the Kurds by the troops under
command of RESCHID MEHEMET PASHA. RA-
VANDANZ BEY, the rebel Pasha, surrendered himself
a prisoner, so that the whole of Kurdistan will now
yield to the power of the SULTAN without further pro-
voking the vengeance of the conqueror.
HASSAN BEY has been superseded in the govern-
ment of Smyrna by MUSTAPHA BEY. HASSAN has
obtained for himself a monstrous notoriety as a Go-
vernor. In cruelty he is a devil incarnate.

M. BOUTINIEFF, the Russian Minister at the
Porte, is doing all in his power to induce the SUL-
TAN to insist upon the recall of Lord PONSONBY.
We regret to learn that our Government has not yet
communicated its pleasure to the Porte relative to the
affair of Mr. CHURCHILL, so that our excellent Am-
bassador is cruelly exposed to the intrigues of the
enemies of British influence. This is not the duty of
our Government. Colonel CONSIDINE remains at
Constantinople.

Hobart Town and Launceston papers, the former
to the Ist of June, and the latter to the 27th of May,
have been received at the North and South American
Coffee House. Colonel ARTHUR is recalled by order
of the KING in Council. This measure has been
hailed with demonstrations of joy by the great majo-
rity of the colonists. The following extract from the
speech of his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor to
the Legislative Council, contains all that is valuable
in these papers :
Gentlemen —ln meeting you upon the present occasion,
I have much:paledaesubre in congratulating- the Council upon
uthpeonaditvsanpereesent
the number
Prey the colony during the last year, and
It is not from
extent of their possessions t
that
a.otf itsl

aobrl frome opinion
importance. However of the state of the terriatuoosrriyel:
Increasing
agriculture
is in the annual augmenta-
tion in commerce and
lithat I perceive the evi-
dence
be,o of i. s
steadygrow growing
trade will prove that it is
flourishing.
When, therefore, I find by reference
to
official
amounting returns, that the imports of the colony,
which in 1834
largely exceeding those of the preceding year,ydeu in
estimated value to 476,6171. advanced in 1835 in
to
583,6461., and that the exports, which in the former
had increased in estimated value to 203,5221., amounted
1835 to 320,6791., and when I compare with those results
the statement that the number of vessels cleared inwards
in 1834 and 1835, were respectively 15,033,441 tons, and
16,943,476 tons ; and the number cleared outwards dur-
ing the same periods were respectively 13,429,588 tons, and
16,042,001 tons. I can entertain no doubt of the prospe-
rity of Van Diemen's Land ; neither is it in commerce
alone that the signs of general improvement are so strik-
ingly displayed. There is no parallel of such rapid success

except in the instance of New South Wales—never did the
primary landholders in any territory, having overcome the I
first difficulties of settling, advance in a shorter period from
comparative poverty towards the enjoyment, not of comfort
merely, but of affluence.
The agricultural interest is already, from the high value
and limited extent of available land, verging upon that divi-
sion into the relative classes of landlord and tenant, usually
to be found only in old countries.
The value of cattle and sheep, the principal source of
colonial wealth, depending as it did chiefly upon arrivals of
new emigrants, and the steady market opened of late years
for the wool of the colony in England, have, in conjunction
with other causes, trebled the price, not only of fine wooled
sheep, but indirectly even of cattle.

The Bristol Gazette of Wednesday contains a re-
port of a public dinner given on the previous day to
the Liberal members of the Town-council, by the
friends and supporters of Corporate Reform in that
city. At this dinner, which was numerously and re-
spectably attended, the health of his MAJESTY'S Mi-
nisters was drank with marked applause, although, at
the same time, a hint was thrown out with respect to
the necessity of their going forward boldly in the
course of public improvement. On the subject of
Peerage Reform Mr. BRIDGES pertinently observed,
" As by the revolution of 1688 the principle of re-
sponsibility was enforced in the monarchical branch of
the legislature, and as the great charter of 1832 has
made another branch directly accountable, so should
the remaining branch, their Lordships, be made re-
sponsible to the country. lam quite aware that before
this result is produced all the old formularies of the
Constitution may be referred to in opposition ; but
that this great object will be ultimately accomplished /
have no doubt, and its attainment will be materially
assisted by the operation of Municipal Reform.
Peerage Reform, which was but as the whisper of a
breeze, will soon become as the roar of the cataract ;

that which was a zephyr will become a whirlwind."
Mr. BRIDGES is quite correct in his hypothesis, that

eform of the Lords is a necessary consequence grow

ing out of the great charter of 183% by which the
Commons were made directly responsible to the people,
and equally safe in his prediction that it will at no
distant period be accomplished. Events ."1;e hourly
working in its favour, and among the most diligent and
successful of the labourers in the Peerage Reform vine-
yard, are the Lords themselves. Lord LYNDIIURST,

in particular, has given an impulse to the ,:question,
which a year ago would scarcely have been' thought
possible. We shall be glad to find these Liberal
Town-council dinners becoming general throughout
the country. The friends of civil freedom cannot meet
too often.

A pamphlet, entitled " Reasons for the Establish-
ment of a New Bank in India," has been published
by Messrs. Longman and Co. It well deserves the
attention of all who feel an interest in the welfare of
our Indian Empire. The vast resources of India are
still but in embryo. To give them that development of
which they are capable, one of the first steps must be
the establishment of Banking Institutions on a sound
principle, and on a scale commensurate with the mag-
nitude of the object in view. The plan proposed in
the pamphlet before us seems well calculated to supply
the deficiency that at present exists in the means of
distributing capital, and affording all those facilities
and encouragements which call forth national industry,
and prepare the way for national prosperity.
The system intended to be adopted is that generally
called the " Scotch," and the views of the promoters
of the undertaking, (who, it will be perceived, are not
men likely to engage in airy speculations), are comprised
in the following outline :
