PROTOCOL, No. 50, OF THE CONFERENCE HOLDEN
AT THE FOREIGN OFFICE ON THE 24TH OF OCTO.
BER, 1831. PRESENT, THE PLENIPOTENTIARIES
OF AUSTRIA, FRANCE, GREAT BRITAIN, PRUSSIA,
AND RUSSIA.

" The Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Majesty opened
the conference by reading the annexed despatch from Sir
Charles Bagot, relative to the explanations that took place
between that Ambassador and the Minister for Foreign
Affairs of his Alajesty the King of the Netherlands. relative
to the desire expressed by the Plenipotentiaries of the Five
Powers that hostilities should not re• commence between
Holland anti Belgium on the 25th inst.

' The Plenipotentiaries of the Five Courts, considering
that it results from the communications of Sir Charles
Bagot, that his Majesty the King of the Netherlands did
declire by his Minister for Foreign Affairs, that 'the
Powers were at liberty to arm themselves against the mea-
sures, when he should have adopted any, and that they
were equally at liberty to arm themselves against his si-
lence; that the King was not under any obligations to let
them know beforehand his intentions for the moment of
the expiration of the armistice, and that even if he should
be thereunto obliged, very many circumstances might in
such times as the present occur, which would change the
intentions which his Majesty should have communicated ;'
" Considering, that by one of its notes on the 14th
instant, the Conference of Lon ,on has already announced,
that the Five Courts would by all the means in their
power opp..se the renewal of hostilities ;
" Considering that the declarations, made in the name
of the King of the Netherlands, do not leave to the Con-
ference of London any other alternative than to act in con-
formity with the aforesaid note, and to make preparations
for preventing the renewal of hostilities, which his Ma-
jesty the King of the Netherlands has expressly reserved
to himself the right of resuming ;
" Considering, moreover, that it enters among the at-
tributes and the duties of the Conference of London to
provide the measures necessary for this object, the Plenipo-
tentiaries of the Five Courts have decided that the Govern
ment of his Britannic Majesty be invited to station imme-
diately a naval force on the coasts of Holland,—that this
naval force shall not have orders to act until hostilities shall
have been resumed by his Majesty the King ef the
Netherlands against Belgium ; but if they should have been
so resumed, then that said force shall immediately take
the most proper measures to bring about in the speediest
manner a complete cessation of hostilities ;

" The Plenipotentiaries of the Five Courts being be-
ing altogether agreed, that if these first measures should
prove insufficient, the Conference should decide upon the
adoption of all such as may be considered necessary for
the s tid object.
" Finciiy, it is decided that the present Protocol shall
be communicated to the Plenipotentiaries of the King of
the Netherlands in London as well as to the Ambassadors
and Ministers of the Five Powers at the Hague.

" PALMERSTON,

The answer of Lord WHARNCLIFFE to the
request made by the First Doncaster Troop, that lie would
resigli the command of the regiment of yeomanry, was
received, through the medium of the Adjutant, on Friday,
the 21st instant, and was in effect, that his Lordship
would not relinquish the command upon such an applici_
tion as he had received from them ; that if they did not
know their duty, lie knew his ; but he had not yet deter-
mined what course to pursue. On receiving this commu-
nication, every man present sent in his resignation to the
Captain. A communication has subsequently been made
to the troop, requiring them to meet his Lordship, it, the
Town-hall, at Sheffield, this day (Saturday), at half-past
three o'clock, not in regimentals, as soldiers, the troop
having completed its days, according to Act of Parliament,
but as citizens, in their usual dress. So the matter at
present stands —Leeds Mercury. _ _

INCENDIARISM.—On Saturday information
was given at Bow-street, that on Tuesday last, about nine
o'clock in the evening, some persons unknown, maliciously
set fire to a barn full of corn, and six stacks of corn, at
Suddington-hall farm, near Prestbury, in the county of
Chester, which in a very short time was burnt to the
ground. A large reward has been offered for the appre-
hension of the incendiaries.

As we were present (says a Correspondent) on a very
recent occasion, when the pretenders to gifts of the Holt
S•irit exhibited before the Rev. Edward Irving,, and tht
Rev. Edward Irving before his congregation, we will briefl,
describe the course of proceeding. The chapel or churn).
(for he has christened it Ecelesia Scotica) being prett\
nearly filled, the Rev. Gentleman took his seat in an orna-
mented chair, immediately below the pulpit and the clerk's
desk, hut on a raised platform, and with a table befri
him. On one side of him sit a Mr. C—, and on th,
other side the clerk, both in distinguished and exalted seats.
Then came a short prayer by the Rev. Edward Irving.
which was followed by the reading of a portion of Scrip-
ture ; in the midst of which the schoolmaster of Fitzroy-
square broke out in a sort of scream, that " the Lord Jesus
was coming, armed by seven spirits." This asFprtion was
only indistinctly articulated, but the Rev. Edward Irving.
for the benefit of those who sat most remote, rose and
repeated, in 3 slow solemn tone, the words delivered
by the supposed " chosen vessel"-.-beginning " The Holy
Spirit siys," &c. The reading was then resumed,
and the screamer again screamed, but to us the words were
unintelligible, though meant for English, and the Rev.
Edward Irving's interpretation equally dark, partly in con-
segnence of the broadness of his accent. This part of the
performance being over, another " chosen vessel" began to
overflow with the gifts of the spirit. This was the
daughter of a most respectable and wealthy solicitor; in
Bedford-row, who continued to speak, or rather to vocife-
rate, for about ten minutes, repeating over and over again
the same words, and with a surprising paucity of ideas,
considering the source in which they were asserted to ori-
ginate. The voice was rather like that of a boy, but
in any other respect not remarkable. We Inoked at the
young lady all the time ; but she used no action, and her
countenance was not peculiarly expressive. She was light-
complexioned and rather pale, and sat " with eyes up-
raised ;" but not exactly, in our opinion, " as one inspired.,'
She ceased rather abruptly, and after a hymn, the Rev.
Edward Irving again prayed at greater length, and re-
turned thanks for the Divine forewarning. After his
benediaion had been bestowed, the congregation took up
their hats and walked—souse as if lost in wonder, and
others (and these not a few) looking at each other, as if
inquiring how men could possibly be such fools?
The following are specimens of the unknown tongue,
published in a pamphlet by one of the true believers, a
Mr. 111‘Kerrell, who states that a few weeks since, the
number of the gifted was fifteen. From page 12 take the
following magnificent burst :
