fashion, like Sir CHARLES WETHERELL'S brown
great coat. It has had its day, and must now be con-
tent to " pale its ineffectual light " before the rising
sun of Liberalism. When sixteen thousand men as-
semble together, on the spur of the moment, to hear
GOULBURN prose, AGNEW preach, or STANLEY
affect the wit and satirist, then we shall believe that we
have been premature in our assertions; but certainly not
till then.

Mr. O'CONNELL'S addresses to the Rochester
Reformers were every way worthy of him. He in-
sisted, in warm terms, on the necessity of an English
Government doing justice to Ireland ; and spoke of
Ministers with respect and gratitude, as a set of men
anxious to do that justice, but hampered, in all their
efforts, by the factious Intolerants in the House of
Lords. On the late behaviour of these last, with re-
spect to the sister country, the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman proceeded to comment, in the language of
stern and indignant reprobation. He said, and said
truly, that they had brought Reform to a stand-still ;
and that, consequently, either the constitution of their
House must be remodelled, or the country consent to
abandon all hope of further improvement. Why, he
observed, should the people sacrifice their interests to
those of a selfish knot of Aristocrats ? The Tory
Lords were neither their superiors in intelligence,
morality, nor patriotism ; and as for their personal
recommendations—which, by the bye, old Professor
RAUMER dwells on so delightedly—he would select
from any plebeian crowd, in any part of the three
kingdoms, at least a dozen " better-looking" fellows,
than the very best among the Tory clique in the
Lords. Mr. O'CONNELL Is here perfectly right, for
if we except Lord ELLENBOROUGH, who, with his
well-essenced love-10-C6, looks, very like an. Adonis, and
Lord WYNFORD, whose Xpollo-like Figure is also
worthy of special admiration—if we except these two
consummate specimens of lordly loveliness, the Tory
Peers have no more claims on the admiration of the
people, than they have on their respect and gratitude.
But this is a trifling matter; " handsome is as hand-
some does," and if their Lordships will only consent
to legislate in a just and popular spirit, instead of
giving way to every absurd crotchet that may happen
to strike their fancy—like the fools in Queen Whims's
Court, of whom RABELAIS speaks—we will agree to
think them, in opposition to O'CONNELL, the very
" best-looking" set of men that ever aped the demi-
god on earth.
Our fashionable Contemporary, the Morning Post,
in commenting on the Rochester dinner, professes a
most genteel abhorrence of the verbal vulgarities of
Mr. O'CONNELL. "He abused the Lords," says our
Contemporary, and actually " libelled the Bishops !"
Frightful ! Was ever infidelity carried to so atrocious
an extent ? Had he attacked the working clergy, it
had been nothing,—for who cares how poor people are.
abused ?—But to attack the Bishops, men who live in
Palaces, wear mitres and lawn-sleeves, and prance
along to church in coronetted coaches ;—to doubt the
moral worth, and sneer at the practical utility, of men
like these, is the very ate plus ultra of combined
atheism and vulgarity ; and could only have entered
into the imagination one who never waltzed at
Almacks, wore white kid gloves, or dined " sumptu-
ously" off gold plate at Lambeth Palace. So perplexed
and horrified is our well-bred Contemporary by Dan's
attack on the Bishops, that he actually forgets this
moment what he wrote the moment before. Thus,
speaking of Mr. HARVEY, he tells us that "to him
must be assigned the praise of having soared to the
dignity of a Representative of the British people ;"
and vet almost immediately afterwards, alluding to Mr.
O'CONNELL'S dinner, lie calls this same Mr.
HARVEY a " diverting vagabond," thereby, of course
inferring that a " vagabond," and a dignified Member
of Parliament are one and the same thing ! Here is
consistency with a vengeance ! Will the Morning
Post be pleased to explain this little discrepancy of
opinion ?

The whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday have
been received. The Mcssa,crer contains some impor-
tant intelligence respecting the Greek loan, which will
be found annexed. We may to-morrow have an op-
portunity of making some further observations on the
subject.

Letters from Bayonne of the 13th have been re-
ceived. They confiim the intelligence received yes-
terday respecting the defeat of the Christinos before
Fontarabia. On the 11th the Carlists took eleven Pri-
soners who were almost instantly shot.
The Moniteur contains the following intelligence
from Africa :
On the 19th of Juno, General Bugeaud marched from Oran
with six thousand men, to support Tlemecen, whither he ar-
rived on he 24th. In spite of every precaution, on the second
day he was obliged to send back to Oran 300 men, disabled
by fatigue. On the 24th, when in sight of Tlemecen, Abdel
Kader's cavalry attacked the rear-gward. The Arabs were
dispersed, the French having six men killed and thirteen
wounded. The expedition stopped on the Safref, a league
from Tlemecen, where General Bugeaud received the Com-
mandant Cavaignac, the Bey, Moorish Chiefs, and Jews, who
bad come out to meet him. The French garrison of the Me-
chouard had been almost constantly blockaded. On the 1111
before, even Abdel Kader had surrounded Tlemecen wit
5,000 or 6,000 men and 120,000 head of cattle, which had
devoured the whole of the crops within a radius of six leagues
round the place. Unable, therefore, to subsist at Tlemecen
without touching the supplies of Mechouard, General Bugeaud
determined to return on the next day to Rachgoun. He left
three hundred disabled men at Tlemecen, and took with him
instead two hundred men of the garrison, and three hundred
Koulouglis, under Commandant Cavaignac. The enemy did
not dispute the passage of the Isser, nor that of the Tolgoet.
The army was seven hours crossing the Tolgoet, and four days
in proceeding from Tlemecen to a port of the Tafna, in sight
of Rachgoun. Generel Bugeaud proposes remaining at Rach-
goun, for the time necessary to organize a convoy and return
to Tlemecen with provisions, whereby the garrison will have
supplies for six months. It appears that Abdel Kader has
withdrawn to Morocco, because the tribes have but ill re-
sponded to his appeal.
PARIS, JULY 16.—We are assured that the King of Bava-
ria has declared, through his Ministers at Paris, London, and
St. Petersburgh, that King Otho will not return to Greece,
unless the three Powers advance to his Government six mil-
lions of francs each, on the last instalment of the loan of sixty
millions guaranteed by them, in order to enable the young
Prince completely to organise an army, and to put an end to
the anarchy which consumes Greece.

The Bavarian Court is said also to urge the three Powers
to use their good offices for the marriage of the young King,
which it believes would have the advantage of proving
to the Greek nation, that the European Powers watch
over its destiny, and, likewise, interest themselves
in the future condition of the kingdom which they have cre-
ated. It is said that M. Thiers, who has already made an en-
gagement with the Greek Government, by a preliminary ad-
vance of 1,500,000 francs, has replied to the Bavarian Envoy,
that the French Government was ready to fulfil its engage-
ments, provided England and Russia would do so at the same
time, "because every partial payment would be of no advan-
tage to Greece."

-The Moniteur publishes the comparative view of the reve-
nue for the first six months of this year with the same period
of 1834 and 1835. The indirect taxes have produced
297,698,000 francs, which is nearly 23/ millions more than
the first six months of 1834, and 12 millions more than
the first six months of 1835. The only diminution has been
in the duty on Salt, all the others have increased. The duties
of Customs and Navigation exceed by 2,231,000 francs the
receipt of the corresponding half of 1835, notwithstanding a
diminution of 2,069,000 francs in the duties on Colonial and
Foreign Sugars. To this loss of 2,069,000 francs must be
added 6,700,000 for the increase of bounties in the exportation
of refined Sugar, for the first six months of 1836 ; so that
the loss on Sugars for the first six months of 1836 is about
3,800,000 francs.—Messager, July 17.

Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Charles Paget, G.C.8.,
has left Uxbridge House to assume the command of the squad-
ron of line.of-battle ships recently fitted out at Portsmouth.
Captain Berkeley, the Member for Gloucester, is to be Sir
Charles's Flag- Captain.
THE TEA TRADE, MONDAY.—The deliveries
last week were again large, amounting to about 835,900 lbs.
The sales of free trade teas commenced this morning, and they
consist of about 36,000 chests.

DEATHS AT THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.-

In the years from January 1833 to 1835 the number of deaths
among the carnivora was 21, whilst from the last period to the
termination of June there were 36 ; the total, including 7
lions, 5 wolves, 4 tigers, 4 chittas, 3 jaguars, 3 ocelots,

On Saturday, a woman entered the shop of Mrs.
Carroll, in Brill-row, Somers-town, and asked permission to
leave two children in her care whilst she went to purchase
them some fruit. The request was complied with, but the
woman never returned, and the children, who were one and
two years old, were taken to the workhouse. _

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.-011 Thursday,
the 40th ult.. a man named Jerret, between 40 and 50 years of
age, a carpenter by trade, and who resided in Somers's-court,
Stepney, left his home, and has not since been heard of; he
had no quarrel with any one, nor does there appear any cause
for his absenting himself from his wife with a large family,
who are in the greatest distress of mind for his safety. Every
inquiry has been made, but as yet have proved fruitless. He
was a tall raw-boned Irian, of melancholy aspect, and sober de-
meanour.
