LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 15, 1836.

At the dinner of the Finsbury Conservative Asso-
ciation, which took place on Saturday, at the Free-
mason's Tavern, Lord MAIION, who was in the Chair,
made just one of those speeches which might be ex-
pected from a staunch Tory in the present pitiable
condition of that party. It was alternately exultant
and desponding ; now breathing the language of bold
defiance, and now, of delicate apprehension. Its ex-
cessive modesty, however, was its chief characteristic—
a feature peculiar to the eloquence of Tory aristocrats
when descanting on the middle classes. " I have that
respect," observed his Lordship, " for the middle
classes of this country, that I have always believed
their political errors were more attributable to defective
information than defective judgment ; to us, then, be
longs the task of enlightening them as to the real ob-
jects we have in view, and disencumbering their minds
of the falsehoods which have been brought against
us." Kind, considerate Peer I In what a forbear-
ing spirit he laments the " political errors" and
" defective information" of the middle classes, whose
incessant clamours for Reform, and distrust of a
Conservative Ministry, are the mere results of their
intense ignorance. They do not, it seems, ask for
relief from their burdens, because they are wise,
but because they are just the reverse. They do
not desire cheap and equitable Government, because
their judgment is sound, but because it is "defective."
It is for want of knowing better, that they are Re-
formers ! Were they once thoroughly grounded in
political knowledge, they would be Conservatives, to a
man ; for Conservatives are fond of High Church
establishments and a snug system of superabundant
taxation, and it is a full and perfect reliance

on the efficacy of these blessings that constitutes
sound political sagacity. This is rich, but richer still is
his Lordship's patriotic request to those of his own Or-
der, that they will take upon themselves the task of
illuminating the middle classes. Lord MAHON must
evidently imagine that wisdom, like rank, is hereditary,
or he would scarcely venture to make such a proposi-

tion as this. Conceive a WiNclinsEA—a
LON-
DONDERRY-a NEWCASTLE—Or an ELLENBO-.
ROUGll—scuing out on an Education tour; and giving
gratuitous lectures to the benighted middle classes on
the political excellencies of Conservatism I Why,
Doctor SYNTAX'S rour was nothing to this I It
beats even Don Quixote's KniBht-errant Expedition.
His. Lordship goes on to say, " in what hideous colours
have we not been shown up to the public eye. We
have been described as solely influenced in out politics
by adesire for the custody of the public purse—as plun-
derers of the public money—as partisans of every
abuse. Partizans of abuse, indeed ! I deny the
charge I" We do not wonder at a Conservative getting

into d passion at the idea of charges like these. What
monsters they must be, who could ever think of mak-

' ing them—wretches not fit to live—reprobates beneath
contempt ! Is it not notorious that the Tories have
always been remarkable for their utter dislike of finger-
ing the public money, and getting the public purse
into their secure custody ? Have they not always
shown themselves foremost to correct abuses—diminish
taxation—promote reforms—and do away
with un-
merited places and sinecures ? Is not the Tory
Pension-list—to say nothing of Lord Ellenborough's
ten thousand per annum for the aristocratic privilege
of doing nothing—conclusive on these points? Away
then with the infamous charge that the Tories are
actuated in their desires to hold office, by any other
motive than that of promoting the public benefit.
They are the purest of patriots—the 'host sagacious
of Statesmen, as they showed by the spirit in which
they opposed the Reform Bill. Lord MAHON con-
cluded by observing, " I must say, that on looking at
the position of the Conservative party at this moment,
the prospects are those of hoped and exultation.
My feelings, therefore, are those, pf hope an 4 sa-

tisfactiO4l" r .
'rona the iew
which Lord WINCHILSEA takes of the Tory
prospects. "It uas wholly impossible," said the by-
pochontiriactil ea'r'l, iE to Ibt3ie at the ptdsent Sittiatnin
of the conntfy without great anxiety".,=,.thereby
ing, of course that the Conservatives had ilea a chalice
left or 'regaining power. Whose Opinion shall we
adopt on this .occasion=that of Flemtictittis ut
Ite-
raclitus P Shall We pit faith iii " L'Allegro" or in " II
Fluilkioso ?" For our own part, we prefer Lord WIN-
CHILSEA'S view of the case, and agree with him in
thinking that the Tories will never again be able to
form a Government.

Oxford is determined to maintain its well-earned
character for civil and religious bigotry. As the rest
of the world becomes enlightened, the shades of dark-
ness concentrate themselves around this chosen spot
as a final rallying point. WhSt'will our readers think
when they are told that the appointment of Dr.
HAMPDEN to the Regius Professorship of Divinity
has been protested against by seventy members of this
University ? Yes—no fewer than three score and
ten of that cowled and cloistered generation have
petitioned the KING' to annul Dr. HAMPDEN'S ap-
pointment. And on what ground is this scandalous
proceeding resorted to ? The new Professor's learn-
ing is not questioned ; his talents are allowed to be of
the first order ; and his character is irreproachable.
But Dr. HA NxPDEN has committed an unpardonable
sin in advocating the right of the Dissenters to admis-
sion into.the Universities. This is the real heresy of
which the Rev. Professor has been guilty, though the
ostensible one is disbelief in the Trinity—a doctrine
which he has publicly defended in his able work on the
" Philosophical Evidence of Christianity I"

The whole of the Paris papers of Friday and Sa-
turday are before us. No Ministry has yet been
formed ; and the prevailing opinion in the French
capital on Saturday evening was, that the question
would not be settled for some time longer. M. Du-
PIN and his friends have failed in forming a Cabinet ;
and to M. TRIERS is now entrusted the power of
selecting such colleagues as shall enable him to bid
defiance to the Opposition in the Chamber of Depu-
ties. This distinction has been conferred on M.
THIERS through the instrumentality of TALLEY-
RAND, who warmly approves of the policy of the ex-
journalist. If M. TILLERS succeed, he is to take the
Presidency of the Council, and the Department for
Foreign Affairs.

Letters *and papers from Madrid to the sth inst.
have been received. M. MENDIZABAL had provided
a vast quantity of supplies for the troops, together with
40,0001. in money, the whole of which were about to
be sent under a strong escort to Vittoria, the head-
quarters of CORDOVA. In the capital of Spain the
greatest tranquillity prevailed. The people entertained
no doubts of the triumph of MENDIZABAL over every
difficulty. All he wants is money, and that he is en-
deavouring to raise by every means in his power, short
of invading any part of the property of the people, or
increasing their financial burdens. It was feared that
CORDOVA would be obliged to resign the command of
the army, in consequence of a cancer in his mouth.

The following official dispatch, signed by the Car-
list Commander-in-Chief, appears in our Carlist con-
temporary, the Herald of this morning :
Excellent Sir,—l have received the following dispatch
from General Don Bruno Villa Real, dated yesterday :
" This morning I sent out a detachment of cavalry, on a
reconnoitring party, in the direction of the fields of Salva-
tierra and the environs of Vittoria. Two soldiers belonging
to the lancers-pi Biscay, whose names are Juan Bautista Aros•
toquiza and Juan de Moya, actually advanced to the very gates
of Vittoria, and although only armed with their swords, made
four English lancers prisoners, who will this day be shot.
You will be pleased to make this extraordinary brave conduct
known to his Majesty, and to entreat that the two soldiers
may receive the bounty of one real per day for the rest of
their lives.

" COUNT DE CASA EGUIA.
" God protect your Excellency.
" Head-quarters, Sornoza, Feb. 3, 1836.
" To the Minister of War."

This was " extraordinary brave conduct" on the part
of the two Spanish Lancers ; but it is nothing to a
feat performed by three French " lads" in the late
Peninsular war, an account of which was furnished by
General KELLERMANN to JUNOT, and by him
proclaimed in Lisbon for the edification of the inha-
bitants of Portugal. According to KELLERMANN,
eight English marines, including two officers, all well
armed, put off from one of the British ships of war
with the intention of landing upon the Portuguese
coast. Unfortunately for them, they were observed
by three " French lads," who discovered themselves when
the boat was within some furlongs of the shore ; com-
pelled the English soldiers to land, lay down their arms,
and submit themselves prisoners of war to these "lads"
who had not so much as a sword among them. After
recounting this specimen of French prowess, JUNOT,
in his Proclamation, observes, " the intrepidity and
presence of mind of these lads, is highly commen-
dable." The historian who relates the above, remarks
that it is only defective in one particular. It ought
to have been added by KELLERMANN and JUNOT
that the " three lads" had subsequently eaten the
eight Englishmen. Now some such omission has
either been made by the Carlist General, or by our con-
temporary the Morning Herald. In fact, we are as
convinced that the a tsw,ov Carlistare

risgActt.

In remarking upon the qualifications of an officer desir- .
t+us of undertaking another Expedition for the discovery of
a North-ii'est Passage; dlll Obgtrilqitiens were principally
directed to the Sea WiYfige: Since then vi• 6 6acu fhltmtely
inspected Mr. king's proposal; and find that be acetimpa-
flied captain hack in his late expedition, and; moreover,
being of the rhediedl pftifessilin; arid lipliatetifl!, hell d-
titialnitti with the rti4imers df the
.Canadian Voyagers,. and
the means propitiatiiig the iiatii;e Indians; he appears
well qualified to make the attempt, with every PdOitee..it of
success. We therefore trust that the ardour of this enter-
prising gentleman may not be damped, nor the trial of his
purpose denied him from failure to raise the sum of 1,0001.,
which is all he requires to make the attempt ; and we have
the more confidence that 4he will succeed, from the know-
ledge that five of his companions in the last Expedition
have volunteered to accompany him in any future one. We
augur well of the intention also, from the great confidence
of success which Mr. King appears to indulge in, and direct
the attention of our readers to the Prospectus which he
has published, detailing the route of his anticipated journey.
—Naval and Military Gazelle, Feb. 13.

We cordially bear our testimony to the recommen-
dations contained in the above paragraph, which does
honour to the good feelings and professional character
of the Editor of the " Naval and Military Gazette."
We have ourselves very minutely examined and cross-
examined all the circumstances connected with Mr. King
—his prospectus, his chart of the route, and all the de-
licate and difficult points to be overcome, and we have
conscientiously come to the conclusion that he has esta-
blished the very best claims to success—so far as suc-
cess is attainable by manly daring, determined enter-
prise, and absolute disregard of personal consequences.
Mr. King is a gentleman who unites in his own per-
son some of the best essentials for an undertaking of
this adventurous nature : he possesses youth—health
—medical and scientific knowledge—experience of
the country, its inhabitants, a conciliatory disposi-
tion, and, above all, a burning zeal to have his
name enrolled among those who have already sig-
nalised themselves in exploring the stormy regions of
the North. We sincerely trust that his enterprize will
be attended with more conclusive success than has yet
attended the adventures of his predecessors. One
thing at least is certain, that whether successful or
not, the expedition of Mr. King will only cost
about 1,0001., one half of which be is prepared to
subscribe out of his own pocket ! This is the beSt
earnest of his devotion to the cause so dear to his
ambition ! And will the British public hesitate to fill
up the subscription for another 5001. ? Forbid it, ye
generous supporters of enterprise in London, Manches-
ter, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, Newcastle,
Edinburgh, Glasgow ; and, -in short, in all those com-
mercial places that owe their own greatness and
success to the indomitable spirit of enterprise which
stimulated their exertions. A thorough knowledge of
the North-Western coast of America would be of in-
calculable advantage in a commercial point of view,
and surely, if the labourer be worthy of his
hire, the man of ability and enterprise, who
risks his all, and endangers his life in
the cause of scientific and commercial discovery,
has strong claims upon the support of his country-
men. The month of March approaches, by which time,
in order to .save the season, the expedition should
start, it is therefore incumbent on those who
wish well to the undertaking (and what generous
heart does not ?) to lend their friendly aid.—

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.

In the past week the arrivals of Wheat and Barley were consi-
derable, of other Grain moderate, and of Flour good. All sorts of
Corn firmly supported the previous Monday's terms, partieularly
Wheat, which was nearly all cleared off chiefly by speculators.
This morning there has been a moderate fresh supply of
all sorts of Corn. There was so little fine Wheat for sale to-
day, that the prices have further advanced full 2s. per
quarter on the terms of this day se'nnight for all descriptions,
and only ordinary parcels are left unsold. Fine Barley
met a fair demand at last quotations, but other sorts con-
tinue dull in sale. Beans remain as last reported, with a mode-
rate sale. Pease found little demand, and the terms arc unaltered.
The Oat trade continues firm, and in a few instances rather higher
rates have been obtained. The millers have at length advanced the
top price of Flour to 40s. per sack, and ship parcels are also rather
dearer.

Our arrivals this morning are two Calais, two Ostend, and
the Dutch Mails. We have also Ship letters from St. An-
drew's, St. John's, New Brunswick, Halifax, Rio Janerio,
Madras, September 1, and the Cape, Dec. 12.
Halifax Papers to the 19th January, and New Brunswick
to the 13th January have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house. We extract the following
from the Halifax papers :
" We have had a continuation of fine weather, though there
has been some slight falls of snow, and the roads have been
good for travelling."
From the New Brunswick Papers we give the following :
" The Upper Canada Legislature is to meet on the 14th
inst. The Toronto Gazette contains notices of twenty-five
intended applications to the Legislature, for the incorporation
of Joint Stock Companies, all displaying the spirit of enter-
prise which actuates the inhabitants of the province, and prov-
ing the prosperous state of the country."
By the express received this morning from Paris, of Satur-
day, the Gazette de France states that it only depends on M.
Thiers that the following Ministry will be announced to-
morrow in the Moniteur :—M. Mole, Minister of Justice ;
M. Thiers, Minister of Foreign Affairs ; M. Humann, Mini-
ster of Finance • M. Sauzet, Minister of Instruction ; M.
Passy, Minister of Commerce ; Marshal Maison, Minister of
War ; M. Dupere, Minister of Marine ; and M. Montalivet,

The letters from Saragossa announce the formation of a
corps d'armee of 25,000 men, with a park of artillery, to unite
in Aragon during the next month, under the command of Ge-
neral Rodil.

THE FUNDS.

We have received the Journal du Commerce of Antwerp of
the 14th inst. yesterday, with the prices from Amsterdam of
the 12th inst.:-2, per Cents., 55 5-16 ; Five per Cents.,
102 i ; Ardoins' Loan 471.
Although the President's hostile Message has been received
in France, the premiums on insurances
_is not much higher
than before.

Consols opened this morning at the prices they closed at on
Saturday. (;oing to the scarcity of information from the
Continent and the Peninsula, little or no business is doing.
Consols 91+ it, for the Account, and 911 for Money. Exche-
quer Bills, 18 20; India Bonds, 3 5 ; Bank Stock, 2151'2161 ;
India ditto, 264 255. _ . _

In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active Bonds are not quite
so good as they left off at on Saturday-47i ; at present
471 ; Portuguese, 83i ; Three per Cents, 53i ; Colom-
bian, 321.
This is settling day in the Foreign Market, and the
brokers and jobbers are chiefly employed in settling their ac-
counts, which, according to all appearance, are going off well.
Little credit has been given, except to the first-rate brokers—
consequently, the present account is not of an extensive
description.
The late affair of Lakeman, with the decision of the Stock
Exchange Committee, has deterred many from entering into
large speculations

HALF-PAST ONE.

For some time past we have not had so dull a Monday as
the present for information, and speculations in the various
Funds, although it is a double post day.
Consols have been during the morning stationary at 914 3
for the Account, and 911 for Money ; Exchequer Bills, 43
20 ; India Bonds, 3 5 ; Bank Stock, 2151 2161 ; India ditto,
2541 255.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active Bonds took a
start in the early part of the day, and improved to 4711 48,
since which they have receded to 471 1-; Portuguese main-
tains the price of 83s i; Three per Cents., 531 Colom-
bian, 321; Mexican, 361 37; Dutch Two and a Half per
Cents, 551. In Shares little doing.
The settling of the Foreign Account has gone off well ;
indeed, we may say, it is but a trifling Account to settle. We
do not hear of any arrivals from the Peninsula.

This week the Duke of Wellington has been hunt-
ing with Sir John Cope's hounds.
On Thursday evening last a meeting took place of
the Cumberland and Westmoreland Wrestling Society, at
Mr. Morgan's, Peacock Tavern, when the following resolution
was carried unanimously :—" That the sum of twenty pounds
be given annually to the Cumberland and Westmoreland Bene-
volent Institutions, out of the funds of this Society—ten
pounds to each ; and that the same be paid, as soon after Good
Friday as may be convenient to the Treasurer." We have no
doubt that the Stewards will realise a good sum in subscrip-
tions, and that their friends will give them every support in
forwarding the views of such a charitable intention.
MUNICIPAL EcoNOMY.—We point attention to
the abstract of the Report of Economic Regulations made to
the Town Council. This is the true test of the intentions,
as well as of the ability of the newly-elected body. Here is
an actual saving of 7401. per annum proposed. There may
even be some hope of an addition, beside the saving of salaries,
when the following fact is taken into account. A small sum
is levied upon all chapmen at Tombland Fair. Last year
(which is but a specimen of all the rest), the amount collected
was stated to be 281. Is. 3,1. This sum was divided by two
Officials of the Court, and three guineas paid to the collector
for his work Not a shilling reached the City funds, but
the constables were paid out of the County Rate. —Norwick

MILITARY FLOGGING AT WOOLIVICH.—EarIy
on Monday morning, a private marine, named William Saun.
dry, was led forth into the open space fronting the barracks,
to undergo 200 lashes. The square having been formed, the
delinquent was tied up to the halberts, and the drummers
commenced the punishment. The screams of the sufferer
were heart-rending, and after receiving 100 lashes, he was
taken down, and conveyed to the infirmary in a fainting state.
Sir Walter Scott, 15th Hussars, visited the splendid
ruins of the Rock of Cashel, on Wednesday last, which ancient
pile his father also visited in the summer of 1825. The Major,
in going through one of the passages leading to the Tower,
met with a mishap, by one of his spurs coming in contact
with a stone. He was precipitated down a precipice of twelve
to fifteen feet, but without having received serious injury. He
was slightly bruised and his face much scraped. Dr. Strath,
86th regiment, was shortly in attendance, when Sir Walter
was removed to the Lotel,_Limerick Chronicle.
REFUSAL TO GRANT A CHURCH-RATE.—A
parish vestry was held at the village of Llanon on the 2d inst.,
which was most numerously attended. The church-wardens
proposed a rate of Od. in the pound. Mr. Davies moved an
amendment that the consideration of the rate be postponed
for six months, and proposed that the money should be raised
as among the Dissenters, by the voluntary system ; but one of
the churchwardens declined to adopt a mode so opposite to
what had been the customary one of collecting the church.
rates. However, one of the parishioners volunteered to go
round the parish, the very next day. On a division, there was
a large majority against the rate.
One joiner alone in Maryport, during the last 20
years, has made coffins and attended the interment of no less
a number of bodies than 1,600 !
EMBEZZLEMENT.--Friday G. Bolland, lately a
clerk in the amployment of Messrs. J. S. Jones, Nephew and
Co., was brought up at the New Bailey, on a charge of 'em-
' bezzling 5001., the property of his employers. He made no
defence before the Magistrates, and was committed for trial at
the sessions.--Manchester Guardian.
An inquest was held at Shefford last week, on the
body of Mr. Adams, brewer, who drowned himself in one of
his casks of beer containing 800 gallons.—Verdict—Tempo- '
rary insanity.
CHASE EXTRAORDINARY.—On Tuesday last a
hare, which it is supposed had been pursued in the fields imme-
diately adjacent to the cast end of the town, had, in order to
elude its pursuers, taken up one of the streets ; but alas ! it
soon found to its sad experience that it was only out of the
frying-pan into the fire, for no sooner had the animal reached
the Coal-market than the view-halloo was given, and a nume-
rous field of amateur sportsmen, accompanied with several
dogs, turned out and gave chase to poor puss, which, after a
short run, and a few ineffectual doubles, fell an easy prey to its
merciless pursuers.—Kelso Chronicle.

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS .DAY*)

ATTORNET-CIENERAL V. SHORE.-LADY VIEWLEY'S
This ease stood in the Lord Chancellor's paper to be spCgeu
to as to costs.
The AoLtet roll. GENERAL and Mr. BooTH appeared on be"
half of the trustees to ask for the costs they had been put t°
lrlcsecuting and carrying on the case. Our readers will re-
collect that the information was first heard before his Hone°l,
the Vice-Chancel4r, who decided against the trustees, bat
gi% ing them costs. The trustees appealed from bat
decision to Lord Brougham who was then Chancellor.
His Lordship, together with Mr, Justice Littledale and Mra
Baron Parke, heard the appeal nearly through when he resigne
the Great Seal. His Lordship, however, intimated if the e
tics would agree, he would hear the matter out to save expense'
and give judgment. This offer the relators would not aeeeP
although the trustees were willing to do so ; the consequene
was the whole of the case had to be gone through over ag„Lint
before Lord Brougham's successor, Lord Lyndhurst. 'lf'
Noble Lord, together with Mr. Baron Alderson and Mr. Alsci
deo Pattison heard the case, but as Lord Lyndhurst resign',
the Great Seal before judgment was given, the parties agre

Lord Lyndhurst gave in judgment last week, affirming that of tl
Vice-Chancellor, but without costs. The Solicitor- Genel..B;
under these circumsttOces, contended that the trustees hall'ibf

sequence of the relators refusing to receive Lord Broughaill

'rho LORD-CHANCELLOR was clearly of opinion that he had
jurisdiction to do what was asked upon the present applicationii
