MAJOR GORDON'S PERSONAL MEMOIRS

And RECOLLECTIONS.
London, England, 1831-08-01

SPIRIT OF TIM PUBLIC JOURNALS.

The thermometer now ranging between 75 and
SO, we congratulate the poor worn-out squads of the
Opposition on the coup de grace being at length
giren to schedules A and B. The five of the
boroughs contained in the latter of these lists, was
pretty well sealed on Saturday last, two only being
left for reconsideration,—viz., Sudbury and Tot-
ness ; in favour of the first of which, claims to ex-
emption have been founded on an assumed Inaccuracy
in the census of 1821, with respect to the number of
the inhabitants. Totness was postponed on accostnt
of the absence of its Is'embers. This especial
question will of course be easily and promptly
settled at the meeting ofthe Clouse on Tuesday. As
one is always anxious to pick up morsels of conso-
lation wherever they are to be found, the delay
which has occurred in the lower House must at
least serve to satisfy the House of Lords that no'
benefit is likely to be obtained by the Anti-Refor-
mers from any further pinching, screwing, or nibbling
in the case of individual boroughs. We take it for
granted that schedules A and B will cost their
Lordships but little trouble beyond that of
hearing' the names of the condemtred places read
over by the clerk of the House. Sir R. Peel
took occasion to sulk on Saturday, never making
his appearance at all, but leaving the interests of
Anti-Reform to the experienced hands of the unas-
suming Mr. Praed, and the discretion and dignity
of Sir Charles Wetherell. Sir Robert Peel's judg-s-
Trent is but of a flimsey texture we appeetiend,
albeit the surface may be smooth, and well enough
made up for the market. He has changed his opi-
nions on important subjects with a facility which
does not add the weight of respect for the powers
of his mind to the benefit of his personal vote and
interest. We find that some ragamuffin prints are
at their foolish woik again of reproaching Ministers
with the promotion of Reform from selfish motives
merely, " their own stability depending on its suc-
cess." It is enough to say that the people of Eng-
land divide that offence, if it be one, with his Ma-
jesty's Ministers; their unanimous eagerness for
Reform being likewise grounded on their perfect
knowledge that the permanency of British freedom
and happiness can have no other security. What
nobler panegyric could be passed on any statesman,
than to assert that " their existence as a Govern-
ment is incompatible with a system of corruption,
fraud, and usurpation 1" When will that be said
of the Tories ?—Tinies.

The passage which we copied on Saturday from
the Kent Herald respecting the language held to the
Yeomanry Cavalry of East Kent, has drawn from
an intelligent and well-informed Correspondent the
following communication. We ourselves have heard
for some time past sinister reports, a-kin to some of
those to which he alludes :

COURT CIRCULAR.

M. VAN DE WEYER, the Minister from Belgium, had
au interview with Earl GREY yesterday at the Treasury.
His Excellency afterwards visited Viscount PALMERSTON
at the Fmeign-office.
Prince TALLEYRAND, the French Ambassador, had a
conference with Earl GREY at the Treasury yesterday.
The Spanish Minister transacted business yesterday at
the office of the Secretary of State for the Colonial 13c-
parturient.
Earl GREY came to town yesterday morning from East
Sheen. His Lordship had an interview with Viscount
ALTISORP.
London, England, 1831-08-23

The harvest is in considerable progress in this
neighbourhood, and the weather having been remarkably
fine during the past week, a great deal of grain, particu-
larly wheat, is already housed. The crops promise to
yield most abundantly, particularly in Marshland, nor do
we hear the least cause of complaint, either as to mildew
or otherwise.—Norwich Mercury.

The cutting of the harvest is going on most
prosperously all over the carses, and it the fine weather
continues, will be nearly over by the end of next week.
On Saturday last Mr. PEN ROSE of Munal Mill sent to
market fourteen bolls of new oatmeal; it was of excellent
quality, and the oats of which it was tie produce weighed
forty-four pounds per hu,hel. PENROSE also cut
down a field of barley last week quite ripe, which was
sown just twelve weeks ago.—Caledonians Mercury.

Two respectable looking young persons,
brother and sisier, on Friday attended at Worship-street
police-office, to request the Magistrate's advice. The
young woman, who held in her al uss a fine infant about
15 months old, s'ated that about two hours before a de-
cently dressed woman came up to her, while she was
waiting for her brother in Pittfield_street, Old-street, and
requested as a favour that she would bold her baby for a
few moments, while she ran to a confectioner's up the
street, for a parcel that she had forgot. Applicant took
the child, and tl.e mother ran off, but never returned.
Applicant therefore wished to knew what she was to do
with the child, as she bad been to the parish workhouse,
but they had refused to take it in. One of the overseers
of St. Luke's being present, promised the Magistrate to
take care of the child, but not without lecturing the appli..
cant on her stupidity in suffering herself to be imposed
upon, and the pariah burden thus increased.
We noticed in a recent number the ages of
persons at Chstteris. By the kindness of Mr. PAUL
CuErFiss, our agent at bishops Stortford, we are enabled
to give our readers an interesting statement of persons,

QUERIES.

The dislike entertained by certain parties to the
Beer Bill is so well understood, that the petition
of ninety-five clergymen, backed by two churchwar-
dens, is deserving little serious attention. We,
however, subjoin a few queries, which the ninety-
live reverend petitioners, or the Bishop who pre-
sented it, may answer or not, as best suits their
pleasure :
When the state of mankind and the state of the Church
are alike perfect, and the cure of souls becomes a sinecure,
is it not the first duty of Church dignitaries (after taking
care of the tithes) to regulate the sale and swallowing of
beer ?
When the Clergy are enabled to divide their care be-
tween the church and the alehouse, may not the two ap-
pear to some identified, though the terms can never be
synonymous ?
Is it not right that Bishops and pluralists, who endure
the double fatigue of collecting tithes, and expending the
proceeds, should enjoy, unrestrained, the use of Port,
Claret, Burgundy, and Champagne, and that the poor
man, who earns a sorry pittance, eked out by the parish
allowance, should only be allowed to drink beer, by license
of reverend Magistrates and parish constables?
How much has a poor man who earns eight, ten, or say
sometimes twelve shillings a week, to spend in beer, after
providing food, raiment, fuel, and lodging for his wife
and children?
Is 20,0001. per annum enough for one Bishop—is not
20/. per annum enough for a Curate (some it seems have
no more;) and is not 10s. per week (when they can get
it) more than enough for the labouring poor ?
Is not the pay of one Bishop at 20,0001. per annum,
equal to that of 1000 Curates at 201 per annum ; and
about 800 labourers at 10s. per week, whose families,
were they married, and had on the average three children
each, would amount to nearly 4000 persons?
Are not the Scotch a weak and pitiable people, insen-
sible to the misfortune of having no Bishops, content with
seeing all their clergy respectably provided for, and their
poor seldom suffering from distress?
Is not Parliament omnipotent ?—are not Bishops
" lights before men"—and would they not, if moved for,
produce returns instanter, proving the virtues of ale-
houses and the vices of beer-shops, to their own infinite sa-
tisfaction and the delight of all thinking men?
When the Beer Bill shall be amended, and beer-shops,
by law, open when the hours of labour begin, and close
when they terminate (the labourer unable to purchase beer
in the interval), and when beer shall only be drawn and
drank in the presence of a constable, will not the perfection
of piety, and the " perfection of reason," be beautifully ex
emplified, by the wise, moral, and righteous enactments ?
London, England, 1831-08-23

may perhaps have to pay dear for the martial expedition of
their King, for the great Powers will hardly be inclined
to hazard the general peace, and favour an enterprise which
they have done their utmost to prevent. It is, however, dis-
agreeable for the new King of Belgium to begin his reign
with a war, and to be obliged to call in the aid of France.
This news, and the apprehensions arising from it, that on
"a change of Ministry in France, the peace hitherto enjoyed
by the European states may be endangered, may have a had
effect on the funds, and greatly increased our fears respect.
inn. the propagation of the cholera.
°VIENNA, AUGUST 11.—The cholera has now penetrated
into Transylvania, and rages in the country of Henegad.
Our news from Warsaw is to the 4th. A report has just
been spread that a case of disease like that of cholera has
occurred in a village on this side of the Hungarian cordon.

OFEN, Artc. 7.—A Supplement to the Journal of
Ofen and Pesth of this date, announces that from the 13tI,
of June, when the cholera first broke out in the kingdom
of Hungary to the present time, it has appeared in 33 dis-
tricts, including 333 places. The number of persons at-
tacked was 11,987, of whom 1,423 have recovered,
4,876 (lied, and 5,688 still remain.

By the Paris Express we find that there is no
truth in the report of the death of the Emperor
NICHOLAS from cholera. From the same source
it appears that the question of an hereditary
Peerage will be evaded by an expedient of the
Government—the present Peers are to be newly
created, but " for life."

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(TIES DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
PREVENTION OF HEARSAY-SWEARING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR has been engaged all the
morning in hearing bankrupt petitions. In the course of
the day he took occasion to say that he with the other
heads of the Court had consulted together upon the pro-
priety of making an order (the draft of which was pre-
pared, but it would not be passed into an order till next
Micb?elmas Term) to prevent irrelevant hearsay swear-
ing. The purport of the order generally would be
for the defendant to put such information into the
affidavit at his peril, unless he gave the names of
the parties from whom he had got the information,
so that an indictment for perjury might be found
should it turn out to be false. Also, to compel a party
when he put parts of a letter into an affidavit, either
to annex the whole of the letter or to state that it or the
part not set out had been lost. A case in which it turned
out that a poor man had been committed and kept i❑ pri-
son for three months by the Vice-Chancellor, upon infor-
mation and belief, has given rise to this order.
His LORDSHIP will sit again at half-past six this even-
ing, and there are four cases put into the paper for judg-
ment then.

:he Session—if if it should ever have an end—(A laugh )
—the whole of the appeals would be disposed of.
The Earl of ELDON had no doubt that his Noble and
Learned Friend was most usefully employing his time in
his Court, but at the same time he must state, that accord-
ng to the standing orders of their Lordships' House, the pa-
ramount duty of the Lord Chancellor was to be in his place
in that House during their Lordships' sittings, and not to
be employad elsewhere ; and there were many precedents
where permission to attend elsewhere during the sittings of
that House were refused. He had no doubt whatever that
his Noble and Learned Friend was most usefully employed
elsewhere, but he had no power to dispense with the stand-
ing orders which required his attendance during the sit-
tings here. With respect to the Bankruptcy C,out t Bill, he
hoped that his Noble and Learned Friend would consent
to postpone it till some period after the time of adjourn-
ment for the Coronation. fle made this request as a matter
of personal convenience to himself, for in waiting for this
Bill he was unable to take that change of air which bail
been declared necessary for his health, but at the same time
he was ready to attend on any day which his Noble Friend
might fix for bringing on the Bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR hoped his Noble and
Learned Friend would do him the justice to believe that
no man was more ready than he was to adopt any arrange-
nent which might tend to his (Lord Eldon's) personal
convenience. lie would therefore put off the Bill to
Friday fortnight, or to any other day which might be
more convenient to his Noble and Learned Friend. His
Noble Friend had mentioned till after the adjournment for
the Coronation, but he (the Lord Chancellor) understood
that there would be no motion for an adjournment, beyond
an adjournment over the day of the Coronation itself.
As to what had been said by his Noble and Learned Friend
of the attendance of the Lord Chancellor during the sit-
tings of the House, he fully admitted that such attendance
was a paramount duty, and it was for this reason he had
mentioned the urgency of the case which required his at-
tendance elsewhere, in order that their Lordships might
indulge him by dispensing with the standing order which
required his attendance. He repeated, however, his con-
fident hope that the business of his Court would detain
him only a few days more, and he should then be wholly
at their Lordships' disposal.

Lord WYNFORDasked his Noble and Learned Friend
whether be should have any objeetiou to defer the order of
the day to the Tuesday after the time he had named ?
The LORD CHANCELLOR had none whatever.
The order of the day was then fixed for that day three
weeks.

The Warden of the Fleet prison, and the Governor of
Whitecrotis-street prison, appeared at the bar with returns
of the number of persons detained in execution for debt in
those prisons respectively.—They were ordered to lie on
the table.

nerd of our age, and to our European ideas, we feared that
it was the result of a greater conspiracy, and that it would
lead to bloody disorders. We now know that it is an
isolated crime, an act of family vengeance, which has
nothing to do with the revolt of the Ilydriots.
It is now that the intervention of the three P•iwers
which have guaranteed the existence of Greece should take
place, or the most deplorable confusion may overwhelm
this country.
In the mean time, Coloeotroni, a General much devoted
to the system of the`President, has been put at the head
of the Provisional Government, and with the regular
troops, together with a •mall body of French troops sta-
tioned in the country, and with the assistance of the com-
manders of the naval forces of the three Powers, he will
he able to m dntain peace and order for some time.

NOTICE. ENCLOSED. • .

" ' Mr. Cotterill laving invited, or at least permitted,
agents of a society or societies professing to promote. the
religious principles of -the Reformation, to preach in the
parish church of Alton, which preaching is nothing but a
tissue ,of .•gross falsehoods and calumnious accusations
against Catholics and their religion—
"' Notice is hereby given, that if such conduct be per-
severed in, no Protestant work Man will be in future em-
ployed at Alton Towers.
" ' would be a source of much regret to Lord Shrews-
bury to visit the faults of others upon a class of persons
whom it is his wish to encourage and protect ; but he
sees no other means of bringing Mr. Cotterill to a sense
of propriety.' "
The -reading of this letter was listened to with the mast
rivetted attention, and the meeting heard, with no little
plcasure, that this threat fell powerless to the ground, and,
though sent by a Unit to one of the subordMate Clergy,
yet it was to one who.bad learnt to •call no man master on
'earth, and to obey God rather than man. Mr. Cotterill
sent iirunediAtely a very. proper reply to Lord Shrewsbury,
and, in the course of the subsequent week, he enlarged on
the subject, refers ing his conduct to his Bishop, as the
only authority to whom he was amenable.

The following is' an extract of a letter which the Se-
:retaly of tl:e Itrformation Society haw since received
ram Mr. Cotterill:—

" Alton, July 19, 1831.

" I do not wonder at Lord Shrewsbury Leine annoyed
with Mr. Armstrong's preaching, for I can assure you
the sermon at Alton produced a most extraordinary effect.
I heard yesterday of one man in particular, who was about
turning over to Romauism, but, when he had heard Mr.
A. was fully convinced of the folly and longer of taking
such a step, and has since renounced all idea of it. The
people generally, I may truly say, are aroused ; they have
begun in eirnent to read, to inquire, and to think, and I
Have something to do to supply them with books,''

ASIATIC JOURNAL.

We hare a horror of the words " New
Series," which generally mean nothing, or worse
than nothing, something positively interior to
the former. In this instance, however, the phrase
is well applied; for the " Asiatic; Journal" is
superior to what it used to be, more full of useful
matter ; and less encumbered with keary sapless
lumber. The present nuealsee is au excel-
lent one.

We have already recorded our opinion of the
character and utility of this publication ; to the
effect that it is much coiled for at the present
time, is conducted with eminent ability, pub-
lished in a commodious form, and at a very ac-
cessible price. The subject of the present
number is " Hall's Contemplations," which are
prefaced by a neat biographical sketch of the
learned and exemplary author.

LAt _BELLE ASSEMBLEE.
The portrait prefixed to this number is of
Lady Agnes Buller, sister to the prevent Duke
of Northumberland. It is engraved by Thomp-
son, from a painting by Holmes, in a truly de-
licate and graceful spirit. The literary contents
form agreeable reading, including among other
articles a review, accompanied by copious ex-
tracts, of all the leading Annuals of the year.
WORLD OF FASMIOX.
The embellishments to this work are numerous
and exceedingly well executed. The literary de-
partment too is better than usual, being more
lively and miscellaneous than that of any of its
predecessors.

FRASER' S MA GAZINE.

The great defect in this infant periodical is its
flippancy. Like a forward child of promise, it
is all pertness and assumption, and mimics the
egotism, without the redeeming sense and strength
of Blackwood. Yet there is good stuff occa-
sionally to be met with in its pagc,s ; discriminat-
ing criticism, shrewd romalks on men and things;;
occasionally forcible satire, and now and then a
dash of genuine humour. 'What a pity such re •
deeming qualities should be hopelessly buried
beneath a waggon load of affectAion We can-
not sympathise with the ot ist ica I trash entitled,
" Oliver Yorke's Levee." It is a vapid imita-
tion of Dr. Maginn's worst manner. But the
Dr. has humour, which his shadow, his would be
alter ego," has not had the good luck to dis-
cover and transfer to his own lucubrations.
" Lays of the Twaddle School" are highly
amusing, and satirical. " Parliamentary Elo-
quence" is passable. " Ancient Commerce of
England," most tolerable, as honest Dogberry
says, and not to be endured, as is always the case
with the lucubrations of a noveli3ts who in the
decline of life turns, political economist. Mr.
J. Galt is the perpetrator of this very serious

UNITED sER VICE J p U RNAL.
We trace the pens of some able and practised
writers in this number, which is more than
usually amusing, from the miscellaneous duality
of its contents. The details relative to Sir

the Mediterranean, reflect the highest credit on
the judgment of the First Lord of the Admiralty,
and the liberality of our gracious Sovereign,

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 31.

An express arrived this morning at nine o'clock from
Bristol, calling for immediate assistance from our garrison.
Shortly afterwards a telegraphic despatch was received, di-
recting that the 5•2 d Regiincnt, which landed on Thursday
from North America, should be conveyed by a Govern-
ment steamer to Soothton, and to proceed on with every
possible despatch to Bristol. Sir C. Campbell, our Lieut. -
Governor, was inspecting them at the time when the order
al rived, and at four o'clock they were all on board and
away from this garrison in the Conference steamer.

COUNTY OF MONMOUTH REFORM MEET-
ING.—On Thursday last our High Sheriff, W. Hou.ts,
Esq., presided at a public meeting of the gentlemen and
freeholders of this county, held in the Town-hall, Usk,
or the purpose of addressing his MAJESTY in consequence
of the rejection of the Reform Bill. The words " nume-
rous and respectalle" are so hacknied that we shall not
press them into the service on this occasion. Let it con-
tent us to say that the place of meeting was as full as it
could hold, and that of the individuals composing it there
were none upon whom even IlonAcE Twiss would have
dared to cast a sneer. CAPE!, HANBUtt4 LEIGH, Esq., of
Pontypool Park, the consistent advocate and practiser Of
every thing that is just and knourable man, was as
usual at his post. He was supported by Sir TutimAs
ROBERT SALusautty, Rirt. and a whole host of the other
gentlemen whose names we have recorded an having been
present at former meetings. NOtitillg. Comm show in a
stronger light the feeling that RetOrm has excited in this
county than the fact that it has produced eloquence not
unworthy of St. Stephen's in men hitherto unaccustomed
to public speaking.—Monniuuthshire

On Friday B. K. GENN, tailor, of Union-
street, Cambridge, Captain of YORKERS conductors, in-
duced five freeholders, who came to vote for TOWNLEY, to
lay trifling bets with him o❑ the result of the election,
Ind immediately went and laid an information against
them before the Assessor, by which means they were de-
prived of the exercise of their franchise. As soon as the
circumstance became known the people drubbed hint
soundly, and, in all probability, would have killed hint,
had he not been rescued by a body of constables, in a state
of nudity. GENN laid ss. to 2s. 6d., and justified him-
self by saying, " I had a right to take every method in
my power to win my wager." What think you of this for
one of the Cambridge freemen ! ! Countrg Times.

MAGAZINE DAY.

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

A less fortunate number than usual, contain-
ing little variety, and less amusement. " Citi•
zen Kings" is outrageous, as usual, in the temper
of its politics, and full of repetitions. The
same argument is repeated, with but little varia-
tion, three times in as many pages. " Dia-
logue between the Marquis of Anglesea and
the Ghost of his Leg," will, though it possesses
considerable merit, disappoint expectation. The
reader would naturally expect, not a grave, po-
litical dialogue, but a quaint, spirited, eccentric
colloquy in the old inimitable style of Christo-
pher North. " The Colonial Empire of Great
Britain" is as heavy as the National Debt ;
" Parliamentary Reform and the French Revo-
lution" replete with vigour of style and thought ;
The Owl," an admirable, original poem ; and
the " Noctes" neither better nor worse than
usual.
