THE ASTEROIDS OF NO "VEMBER.

(From the Journal des Deba ts.)
We have received the following imports: t re port from a
scientific correspondent at Vienna :
VIENNA, DEC. 3.—The phenomenon of an extraordi-
nary abundance of falling stars about tia middle of No-
vember has been again observed this year, and in our part
of the world more decidedly than ever. (Da the 10th of
November, when we watched from eight in the evening till
one in the morning, we counted about nine such stars in the
hour, the sky being rather hazy. On the 11;th of Novem-
ber, during five hours after six in the evening, the sky being
clear, we counted about twenty in an hour , so that the
phenomenon was increasing. On. the 12th ()lc November,
the sky being quite cloudy, no obs( Tvation of the kind could
be made. On the 13th of Nov ember the sl:y suddenly,
cleared up half an hour before mid night, and remained per-
fectly serene till daybreak. During these six hours we
noted 1,002 falling stars, of which by far the greater part
were of the first magnitude, with a long horn of light, and
casting much shade, like the moon. The phenomenon de-
cidedly increased from the beginning of the observation till
about four in the morning, when it seemed to have reached
its culminating point ; from that time till daylight it in-
creased, as the following shows
" In the Ist hour of observation there were 32 falling stars.

" Unfortunately the state of the atmosphere on the follow-
ing night was such that it did not allow any further obser-
vation, so that the duration of this remarkable phenomenon
could not be determined. At the beginning of August
there was an unusual number of falling stars, though very
far from that in November. On the 7th and Bth August
we counted about six in an hour ; on the 9th, fifteen ; on
the 10th, sixty ; on the 11th and 12th, thirty ; and on the
18th, all which day it was cloudy,
,only ten in an hour ; so
that the 10th of August must be considered as the day on
which the phenomenon was at its height, since it increased
till that day, and sensibly decreased afterwards."

EAST INDIES.

The overland India Mail has arrived, via Marseilles
bringing dates from Calcutta to the 20th of October, Ma_
dras 23d ditto, and Bombay Ist of No% ember.
Tile Delhi Gazelle says—" We hear that. the force about
to asst,mble at Ferozepore, will consist of nearly 13,000 fight-
ing men. The whole of the troops composing it will reach Fe-
rozepore by the end of Nov., when the Governor-Generals
interview with the Leon rf the Punjaub will take place.
After tha interview Lord Auckland will proceed to La-
hore, and the force, under Sir Henry Fane, will march
(~I)ut the sth Dec.) is progress t, Shikarpore, where -it
will ar:ive by the 25th January next. Preparations will
be then and there made for ads ancing on Candahar and
Herat, and from the latter place the troops will move upon
Cabul, and re-seat Shah Shoojah on the Guddee."
Captain Burnes had proceeded to Mithunkote, for the
purpose of throwing a bridge of boats across the river
there ; and a commissariat officer from Kurnaul had gone
down to Shikarpore to collect grain and supplies for the
ar toy.

Shah Soojah.s regiments were, it is understood, to pro-
ceed in advance of our own troops to Shikarpore, and there
await the arrival of Sir Henry's army.
There was a report at Delhi that Mr. Hodgson, our
President at Catmandoo, had quitted Nepaul, but the ru-
mour has subsequently turned out false. The Nepaulese
have not attempted any further demonstration.
By letters from Arracan, of a late date, we learn that
there is a party in the Burmese State, who, if pro-
perly managed, may be made to find quite enough
of occupation for Therawaddee. The heir apparent
to the throne, who was supposed to have been mur-
dered at the time of the usurpation by Therawaddee
has turned up. The people who were entrusted with his
murder, murdered some other boy, and have now pro-
duced or threatened to produce the true heir, and to play him
offagainst the usurper. The young Prince, if he play his game
well, will find a sufficiency of work at home to keep the Burman
King from entering into Goorka intrigues and machinations
abroad. A despatch-boat had arrived at Rangoon with an
account that 3,000 houses were destroyed by fire at Ainera-
poores, but whether by design or accident is not stated.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Atheneum, March 1, 1838.
SIR,—I shall feel obliged by your doing me the favour to
insert in your Paper of this evening the explanation made by
Mr. Hogg, M. P. for Beverley, of his attack upon me in the
House of Commons, on Monday lag, and which appears in
this morning's Chronicle, sent by Mr. Hogg.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
GEORGE RENNIE.

The following is the paragraph referred to:—
,' From the noise and bustle attendant upon the ballot ' for
Election Committees, we were unable to collect at the time
what fell from Mr. Hogg on Tuesday evening, on the subject
of the Beverley petition. The Honourable Member said,
that he had on the preceding evening made a statement
founded upon a note addressed to him by the agent of his op-
ponent, and which he had read to the House. He said that
Mr. Ronnie had since shown him two letters addressed to him
by the same person, in which he (Mr. Hogg) and his colleague
were accused of bribery, and in which various statements were
made, that, if true, would afford ample ground for the pe-
tition. He said that he deemed it right to make this state-
ment in fairness to the House, and in justice to Mr. Rennie
and Mr. Clay, whose names were connected with the Com-
mittee."

GENERAL POST-OFFICE, March 1, One o'clock
—The mails continue to be seriously impeded by the snow and
defective state of the roads. A heavy fall took place on the
27th ult., between Dunchurch and Birmingham. It is also
very deep in the north, especially in Yorrcshire, where on
some lines no trace of the road remains. On the Western
road the Mail-inspectors report the snow in some places to be
nearly thirteen feet deep. Where there is no snow the roads
are in a very rotten condition.

Her Majesty visits Drury-lane Theatre this evening
to see Mr. Charles Kean in Richard the Third.
" Lovu," by the Authoress of " The Divorced,"
Flirtation," &c.—Lady Charlotte Bury is certainly one of
the most pleasing writers of the day. The heroine of this new
story is one of those young ladies who possess the romantic
idea that after they are joined in wedlock with the man of their
choice, he ought and will continue to love them with umbated
fervour, seek no society but theirs, care for-nothing but their
pleasure, and over follow any pursuit pi: recreation without
"Alva my lady his companion in them all. Such were
the notions formed. of iiiarried life by Miss Chou, when
she gave her hand to Lord Herbert, and- the manner in which
they wart realised forms the principal feature of the plot of
the story, so ably conceived and skilfully put together by
Lady Charlotte Bury, under the title of Love.'—Caledonian

The Mail states that Lord Challeville will be elected
a Representative Peer, vacant by the death of Lord Carrick,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

James Christie was yesterday brought before Mr. Conant
for final examination, charged with having defrauded a number
of woollen drapers and mercers.
A person named Thomas, from the establishment of Messrs.
Overbury and Co., Blackwell Hall, factors, Cateaton-street,
proved that the prisoner came to the warehouse, and having
represented himself as seat by their customers, Messrs. Lewin
and Co., Brown street, obtained forty-ono yards of kersey-
niere, value 14!.

Messrs. Lewin and Co. denied all knowledge of the order
and of the prisoner.
Mr. Broughton, man's-mercer, of Oxford-street, proved
that the prisoner obtained a quantity of waistcoat silk and silk
velvet, upwards of 101. in value, by representing himself as
having been tent for the articles by Mr. May, tailor, Holles-
street.

Mr. Smart, jun., proved that the prisoner obtained from his
father's warehouse, in Milk-street, a long length of silk serge,
he having stated that he had been sent for the property by
Nir. Miley, tailor, Warwick-street.
Proof was adduced in the two last cases that the prisoner
was unknown.

In defence the prisoner denied having boon to the shop of
Mr. Broughton. With respect to the other charges, he de-
clined to say anything.
A young man, formerly a fellow-workmen of the prisoner's
when in the employ of Messrs. Broadwood, pianoforte-makers,
applied for the duplicates of some tools, which the prisoner had
stolen from him and pledged.
Mr. CONANT asked the prisoner if he was willing to give
up the duplicates? The prisoner having answered in the
aftirmative, the duplicates were given to the owner of the
property.
The prisoner was then fully committed.

A LONG RIDE.—A farmer having staid late at
market on Friday last, got into the midnight mail which
leaves Exeter for London, intending to be put down at his own
gate. The agreeable motion of the coach had such a soothing
effect on his mind, that he soon fell fast asleep, and it was not
till they got to Mutton that the guard and the coachman re-
membei ed that they had a mellow member of the agricultural
interest inside. He was awoke here, and finding where he
was, he made the best of a bad matter by taking a bed for the
night, and returning home by the coach the next morning—to
the great joy of his despairing friends,.—. Western Times.

BELFAST.

Mr. AUSTIN replied. The qualification, he contended, was
not only sufficient, but it was such a qualification as rarely
came before a Committee. Mr. Dunbar had sufficient pro-
perty to qualify twice over.—The Lesrncd Gentleman did not
conclude his argument until half-past three.
The Committee, after consulting together for a few mi-
nutes, announced, through the Chairman, that " they ware
unanimously of opinion that Mr. Dunbar'd qualification was
sufficient."
There was a r faint cheer amongst some of Mr. Dunbar's
friends on the announcement of the decision, but it was imme-
diately suppressed.
The Committee adjourned immediately after till to-morrow
morning.

YOUGHAL.
James Boles Johnson, freeman, was next objected to on
the ground that his residence was more than seven statute
miles distant frcm the borough. Two surveyors proved, in
support of the objection, that the voter's house was seven
miles, one furlong, and 201 perches distant from the Town-
hall by the nearest road.
Mr. THESSIGER said that the question which arose here
was one of considerable importance—namely, whether the
distance was to be taken by the nearest road of access, or
by a mathematical line (in common parlance, as the crow
flies), from the borough to the freeman's house. The Revis-
ing Barristers ware divided upon this question, so that one set
of them were called highwaymen, and the other crowmen. But
a learned judge, (Barton Foster,) had decided in 1632, that
the distance was to be taken by tho mathematical line, as that
wa4 the favourable construction of the Act, which was intended
to extend and not to restrict the franchise.
Mr. ANDaEWS, in reply, cited decisions of Lord Ellenbo-
rough and others in analogous cases, and contended that as the
Reform Bill expressly required the freeman to reside within
seven statute miles of the borough, and statute miles were ascer-
tainable only upon measured roads.
The Committee unanimously decided in favour of the ma-
thematical line, and overruled the objections.
The same Toter was again objected to on another ground,
namely that he was disqualified to vote, by being in the ser-
vice of the Post-offico.
It appeared that the voter who had been sub-depute post-
master of Killeagh, a short distance from the borough of
Youghal, resigned his situation twelve days before the elec-
tion, in order to qualify himself to vote. But the Act requires
that a situation in the post-office, held within twelve months
of the election, disqualifies the voter, and the vote was ac-
cordingly struck off, placing the sitting Member again in a
majority of one.
1 Le petitioner's Counsel then objected to the vote of John
Walsh, upon the sitting Member's poll, on the ground of non-
payment of rates. A discussion arose as to the legality of the
rates, which was postponed till to-morrow, and tho Commit-
tee adjourned.

MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

" Alfred Crowquill's " illustrations to the papers entitled
" Pickwick Abroad" are far superior to the letter-press
this month, which is tedious and prolix. The author should
drop servile imitation, even though he be as clever an imi-
tator of l3oz as Yates is of Munden, and start game of his
own. Mere mimicry may become a parrot, but it is no
great recommendation to an author. " Tableaux from
Sporting Life '' is capital reading for " Legs," and those
who require to be put on their guard against the practices
of these scamps. The writer clearly understands his sub-
ject, and has the rare merit of speaking out. " Economy of
the Months " is a trite idea worked out in an easy, fluent
manner. Of course it has one or two passing hits at
Meteorological Murphy, who, however, can afford to laugh
at these things, having, no doubt, realized a very pretty
sum by the sale of his Almanacks.

"Populus me sibilat, at milli plaudo,
Ilse domi, annul ac nuinnios contemplor in area."
So said Horace's rich man, and so, with equal truth, may
Mr. Murphy say. As far as we ourselves are concerned,
this gentleman's Almanack has been of wondrous service ;
for whenever he has prophecied " fair," we have made a
point of taking out our umbrella ; and whenever ho has
vaticinated " rainy," we have laid it aside as superfluous—a
plan which we have invariably found to answer ; and which
wo recommend accordingly to all purchasers of the Mur-
phyan System of Meteorology. " A Love Story" is a clever
quiz on sentimental tales. " The History of the Bastille "
is mere twaddle ; and " The Baroness" puts forth strong
claims to the same culogium.
London, England, 1838-03-06

was filed for the purpose of having certain charity property, granted by
a charter of King Edward the 6th, to the Corporation of Ludlow, for the
establiFhment of a Grammar-school there, for the relief of the impotent,
and for the maintenance of a preacher in the town, properly
administered. From the Information, it appeared that the
Corporation had mixed up the charity funds with their own,
and the Municipal Act, depriving Corporations of their trust pro-
perty, it became necessary to distinguish in the present instance
betwem what was the real property of the Corporation, and what they
held in trust ; the property in the present instance the Corporation con-
tented belonged absolutely to them, ,nd was not held under trust ; the
relators submitted that under the Charter the property was clearly trust

property, Are], therefore, that they were cotitled to have the injunction
to restrain the Corporation f.om receiving the rents, which they were
proceeding to do.
Mr. KNIGHT BkITCR, Mll J Aeon, and Mr. Urn- D, who appeared for
the relators, and Mr. WIC:RAM, who was Counsel for the Corporation,
were heard yesterday.
Mr. Romti.r.v followed on the same side as 51L WIGRAM to-day;
when the Learned Counsel was about to address the Court,

The VICE-CIIANCELLO2 inquired whether the supplement.3l informa-
ion had been filed. '

Mr. LLOYD said, that in consequence of the Attorney-General'.;
chambers having been burnt down last night, they had been unable to
get his fiat to the information, but that would be done to.day.
Mr. K. BRUCE said, when the supplemental information was tilLd it
was his intention to move in both eases for a Receiver.

Ilia HONOUR, upon this, ordered the motion to stand over, in order
that the parties might file a supplemental information, the Corp -ration
in the meantime not to receive the rents, or proceed to recover them by
distress.

COAL TRADE COMMITTEE,

SUPPRESSION OF THE EVIDENCE II
We are prohibited at present from continuing the im-
portant evidence now being taken on the monopoly, th•
frauds, the extortions, and the obstructions of the Coal
trade system. Yesterday our Reporter was asked by a
Member of the Committee, with what object he was taking
notes? He at once declared that they were for publica-
tion. The room was cleared. We understand that an
Honourable Member, closely connected with the coal pro-
prietors in the North, moved that the evidence should not
be permitted to go to the public through the medium of
the Newspaper Puss ; and such was the composition of the
Committee, that this motion was carried. Another
gentleman who was taking notes, on promising that they
should not be published, was permitted to remain for the
purpose. The public will draw their own inferences from
these facts. Prudential considerations preclude us from so
doing.

The Sun Newspaper (of whose extraordinary exertions
we have often had occasion to speak in the warmest terms) is
entitled to the thanks of every benevolent mind, for the spi-
rited manner in which it is writing against the London Coal
Monopoly—a monopoly, be it remembered, affecting the poor
only, as they, and they alone, have been lately compelled to
pay at the rsta of from 40s. to 453. per ton, durin,, the frost,
in consequence of beinc, unable to lay in a stock for the
winter. —Leicestershirekercury.

UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL.

—This is a more amusing Number than usual, from the
circumstance of its contents being more varied and better
selected. " The Ports of France" contains much informa-
tion that we are sure will be new to many of our readers ;
and the curious characteristic anecdotes of Sir Sidney
Smith have never, we believe, yet appeared in print.
Had we more room we should extract some of those,
but our space is limited and we must forbear.

MONTHLY LAW MAGAZINE.

The Number before us contains an article on the Ballot,
%illicit is argued with more of zeal than logic. Th, writ(' r
is vehemently opposed to the measure, but adduces no one
argument in support of his view of the question which will
bear strict examination. Prejudice misleads and blinds
him to the true state of the case throughout his article,
and it is plain that he is at a loss to say why he is hostile
to the Ballot, The remarks on Mr. Sergeant Talfourd's
speech in Parliament, on the Law of Copyright, "deservcs
att,ntion, for they are as sagacious as they UP 'pertinent.
The rest of the Number is devoted to the discussion of
matters purely professional.

LITERATURE.

RAMBLING REMINISCENCES OF THE SPA-

NISH WAR.
lY TiIF, imp-. TNOMIS F.dBI.
London, Ridgway and Sons, 1838.

The main object of this work is to defend the policy of
the British Government in Spain, and to refute the charges
of cruelty brought against General Evans and the British
Auxiliary Legion. The author claims for himself the merit
of great impartiality, and intimates that this work never
would have been written, but for the shameful attacks
made by the Tories upon the Spanish policy of Lord Pal-
merston, and the humanity of the gallant Member for
Westminster. He states, moreover, that he is fully aware,
owing to the high state of party feeling that exists on the
subject, that he shall draw every species of attack and
abuse upon himself ; but that in shrinking from the task,
he should feel himself guilty of an act of moral cowardice ;
therefore hesitation would be little less than crimlual.
Such magnanimous zeal in so dangerous a cause is beyond
all price, and we trust will not be overlooked by the Noble
Foreign Secretary. In the meantime it may be some con-
solation to the Rev. Author to know that, in writing this
book, he has run no risk of civil or political martyrdom.
Ills arguments in defence of the foreign policy of Lord.
Palmerston are innocent of any point likely to provoke thy
vengeance of the Tories ; nor have we discovered in his
reminiscences anything for which any man—much less a
volunteer in the cause of truth—should apprehend a greater
punishment than neglect from any faction in this country.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

George Fores was brought up for examination, charged with com-
mitting a forgery upon the Benevolent Banking Institution, in deposit-
iug the sum of U. 55., the property of Emma Cox, his servant.
Mr. Bostic, solicitor to the Bank, acquainted Mr. Twyford that the
Managers of this lnstitmtion were most anxious to discharge their duty
to the public by proceeding with the prosecution, but, fortunately for
the prisoner, the Books necessary to be produced to substantiate the
charge were destroyed in the conflagration which happened in the Tem-
ple last night, and consequently it was found impossible to have the
case sent for the decision of a jury.
Mr. TWYFORD observed that the prisoner might consider himself
very lucky, as the evidence in every other respect was complete, and
ordered him to be forthwith discharged.

him as dead to its affairs and feelin:rs as his deceased col- 1
league, has naturally created some stir in Paris.
Lord MAIDSTONE'S motion for reprimanding Mr. O'CoN-
NELL is generally discussed in the leading French Jour-
nals. All agree that the result has been prejudicial to the
honour of Parliament. They quote the reprimand of the
SPEAKEE, particularly the passage in which reference is made
to a Bill in progress for reforming the abuses in Election
Committees, which they contend is tantamount to a jos-
tification of the Hon. and Learned Mcmber for Dublin.
" There must have been perjury since a Committee Reform
Bill is in progress," argue the ablest of these Journals,
while others contend that had the House not been con-
scious to itself that the charge could be clearly established,
it would not have suffered Mr. O'CONNELL to reiterate
oithout voting his immediate confinement in Newgate or
the Tower. The result of the motion has unquestionably
Undid to the degradation of the British Parliament in the
pinion of our continental neighbours.

In the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday, the Com-
mittee on the Widow of General DAMRESIONT'S Pension
;Bill, reported against the adoption of the amendments pro-
posed
by the Chamber of Peers. The following are ex-
tracts from the Journals :
The Garde Nationale de Marseilles publishes a letter from
the French Consul at Gibraltar, containing some particulars
of a dreadful gale which prevailed there from the 10th to the
14th ult., in the course of which, among others, the following
British merchant vessels were totally lost :—viz., the Clan-
dine, master ; the Concordia, Blanckeller ; the
Maria, Navella. (Neville probably) ; and the Three Brothers,
Farr.try. The American brigs, the Keola, and the Eliza and
Anne, were also lost, ai well as two French, two Spanish, two
Sardinian, one Poi tuguese, one Tuscan, and one Greek,
vessels (the latter a ship) were also wrecked.
Letters from Valencia say that General Borro has obtained
sense advantages over the insurgents in that province.
Accounts from Murcia say that all the troops that can be
spared, and all the National Guards are already in motion
and ready to stop the march of Brsilio, in order that the
troops which are in pursuit of him may be able to come up
with him.
The Council of Ministers met yesterday at eleven o'clock

THE ASIATIC JOURNAL

Is, as usual, distinguished for the plenitude of the informa-
tion which it affords its readers on subjects connected with

India and othereastcrn regions. The "Review of Eastern
Nan's" contains a summary of the principal events in the
East, of which an account has reached this country since
the last publioation, and is drawn up with care and discri-
mination. In a short paper under the title of " The Mar-
quis Wellesley," the author of a critique in the " British
and Foreign Review" is severely found fault with for an
attempt to depreciate the Ex-Governor-General, and to
overrate the excellence of the late Mr. James Mill as a
historian. There is much justice in son►c of the writer's
remarks. What, for instance, can be more injudicious
than to extol the style of Mr. Mill, and to run down that of
the Noble Marquis! No real friend of the historian would
have acted so. In " Selections and Reflections" we find
some tolerable. things, and some that startle our critical
prejudices, When it is stated by the author of this article
that Pindar •' has long been considered a violent, impe-
tuous and ungoverned writer, in direct opposition to the
character given of hint by Horace," we demur to the truth
of the latter part of the assertion, and venture to appeal
for support to the " Pindarum quisquis," &c.

PARBURPS ORIENTAL HERALD.

A work lately started, and devoted to the same purposes
as the" Asiatic Journal," exhibits a highly respectable por-
tion of talent and diligenoe in the present Number, which
is the third from the commencement. It has a strong
reci mmendation to public favour in being published twice
in the month. Were the times to become stirring in the
East—were a Burmese war, for example, to break out,
which is perhaps not an improbable event—this frequency
of publication would give the " Oriental Herald" an im-
mense advantage.

THE BARON DE BODES CLAIMS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—You have published, under the bead of " Parlia-
mentary Proceeding:," in your Journal of the 23d inst., as if
spoken by her Majesty's Chancellor of the Exchequer iu this
House of Commons, gross aspersions upon my character.
without reference to whether such language was, or was nut,
really used by that Right Honourable Gentleman, take this
opportunity of pronouncing that the whole of such aspersions
are gross fabrications, and scandalous falsehoods, as will shortly
he made manifest by the proceedings lam taking. But, in
the meantime, I thus publicly call upon, and defy, any man to
show, that I ever obtained one shilling front him under any
false pretence whatever ;.or in any other way than first clearly
representing to the individual about to assist me with money,
that his repayment must depend on my success, in regard to
my most just claims on the British Treasury ; and I have in
consequence been compelled by the parties so advancing
money to me for my necessary support, and the prosecution
of my claims, to enter into securities, in some cases to the
amount of six times the sum so advanced to me, and in others
to vubmit to still more exorbitant terms.
1 presume you can have no objection to give publicity to this
letter ;—to a cruelly isijured individual justice requires it ;
and I therefore trust you will give it a conspicuous place in
your publication of to-morrow.
I have the honour to remain, Sir,
