LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 19, 1836.

The_ Reformers of Birmingham have responded to
the call which we made on them a few days since—
namely, to show that they had not sunk into lethargy
—or worse, allowed themselves to become the dupes of
Conservative intrigues. On Monday last they met,
ten thousand strong, in the Town Hall, infinitely to
tthe surprise and annoyance of the opposite faction,
which had actually allowed itself to believe that Bir-
mingham had at length repented of its heresies, and
was gradually evincing a decided bias towards Conser-
vatism. Never was there such an instance of infatuation!
The Meeting that took place on Monday proves that
limningham is at heart as staunch to the cause of
lteirorm as ever ; that the Union, though for some two
aree years it has been apparently inactive, lias
never ceased for an instant to keep a restless, watchful
eye on the progress of events ; and that, should the
necessity arise, by any unforeseen restoration of the
Tories to power—which Heaven in its mercy avert !
It will again marshall its thousands, and tens of thou-
sands on Newhall-hill, as promptly as it did during
the memorable period of the Reform Agitation. It
gives us pleasure to find that the spirit evinced at this
treat Meeting
was decidedly in favour of Ministers.
There was
however no sycophantic admiration ;
no unqualified subserviency ; nothing more than just
a rational and manly confidence expressed in the inte-
grity of those who, by their recent Parliamentary
measures, have proved themselves worthy of it. The
Birmingham Reformers are no more harnessed to the
ear of Government than we are. Both of us belong
to the
people, not a party, and both take a pride in
acknowledging our connection. Both, too are
warmly in favour of a Reform in the House of
urds- On this important point nothing can
be more explicit or satisfactory than the lan-
guage held by Mr. ATTWooD, which was re-
"onded to by the whole Meeting with the
loudest - and most fervent cheers. "As to a Re-
form in the House of Peers," observed the Hon. Gen-
,c that they must and should receive?' So
Say we. ' So have we said a hundred times. The
Lords must be reformed—and that promptly and effi-
lentlY--no matter how disinclined Ministers may be
!II Such a proposition. 'Till this be accomplished, Re-
form has but achieved half her triumph. Let us on
then to the consummation of the complete victory ;
otherwise we shall be thwarted at every step of
our
remedial career. The Session of Parliament
'the most momentous, all things considered, of
flY` that has taken place within the last fifty
3 ears-4s now close at hand ; and then will be the
time for those who are something more than mere lip-
Liberals, to show their consistency by keeping the Re-
form of the Upper House constantly before the public
eye. As for Ministers, we can scarcely expect them
to be the first stirrers in such a business. No, it is
the people who must be the original movers ; and we
trust that when their wishes are boldly, but respectfully
made manifest, they will meet with no interested opposi-
tion'from the most straight-forward Government that ever
yet exercised a healing influence over the minds of their
countrymen.
To the Reform Members also, we say,
be constant in your attendance during the Session ;
anore especially durina
tlthe earlier portion of it ; for
.you may rely on it, Zt he who absents himself when
matters of iMportance
are under discussion, will be
as little
looked on less than an enemy to his
they advocate.
MAJESTY'S Government, and the great cause which

We have given in another part Of
tThe" Sun of this
..day, the copy of a Vet.) Secret Des
POZZO DI BORGO to the Count depacb, from Count
NESSELRODE, oit the subject of the war between Russia and the Porte
in 1828, extracted from the seventh number of the

" Portfolio" just published by Ridgway. The fre-
quenters of Travellers' Clubs may:throw what discredit
they please upon this document ; but no really sensi-
ble man, with two sound ideas in his head can doubt
the authenticity of a despatch which bears upon the
very surface of it the indelible impress of truth.
Russia, we are aware, will throw what discredit she can
upon the documents now in the course of publication.
No doubt we shall be favoured, in the course
of a few weeks, with fifty editions of the
hacknied tale of the poor German or Pole; or
whatever else the agents of Russia may choose to make
him, who scampered off with the purloined contents
of the official bureaus at Warsaw. But we shall pay
very little attention to such fictions. We know the
history of these State documents, and know, too, that
copies of them were never deposited at Warsaw, or in
any other town in Poland. We are surprised that
the Times, generally well informed on all qt.iestions of
foreign policy, should fall into an error from which its
own sagacity ought to have delivered it, on the subject
of the authenticity of these State papers. We speak
seriously ; for whatever may be urged against the
Times with respect to its temporary support of parties
at home, it has seldom fallen under a suspicion of be-
traying our foreign interests. At home it has alter-
nately supported and scoffed at every party and opinion
—abroad it has steadily looked to the welfare of the-
country. We can state thus much broadly, because
we would not be thought to be influenced by the nar-
row views of faction.

Upon the details of the document which we now
present to our readers, we shall take an early opportu-
nity of making some trite, and we trust apposite ob-
servations.

A public Dinner (the report of which we are com-
pelled to defer until to-morrow) was given last Thurs-
day, at Tralee, to Mr. O'CoNNELL—who, to use his
own words, began there his " new agitation." Upon
his health being drank, he delivered a speech charac-
terized by that sparkling energy and burning eloquence
which is perhaps peculiar to Irishmen. The Hon.
and Learned Gentleman described the present pos-
ture of affairs, as presenting " the most awful crisis
that Ireland ever knew, or Britain ever experienced?'
In reference to the Repeal question, he avowed that
he had been accustomed to desire a domestic
legislature, and he added—" though the pride of
my nationality is for the moment asleep, it
is not dead. lam an Irishman." We are, however,
sincerely rejoiced to find him repeating that, good
Government, equal justice, and a reform of the muni-
cipal institutions of his country, co-extensive and
analogous to that recently effected in the English
corporations, will supersede a separation, which can-
not but be regarded as a wild and visionary theory—
and which, if reduced to practice, would most cer-
tainly be destructive to the common good of both coun-
tries. On this point Mr. O'CONNELL said, that " the
validity of the Union hinges on Municipal Reform.
" Deny us," said he, " corporate reform, and the
parchments of the Union Act are as rotten as they
can be ; and no sparrow can get through a spider's
web with more ease than will the people of Ireland
destroy that Union. Cement the Union with jus-
tice, and you make it an adamantine chain. I say
that notwithstanding all my feelings of pride Jar my
country, although lam the hired servant of the peo-
ple, yet will I lay down them all at the foot of the
Union, provided
.you bind me to it by justice."
In reference to the devastating system, the adoption
of which the Tories plainly point to, he declares that
they shall never put their designs in execution unless
they draw the Cromwellian sword again." He lashes

with deserved severity the Waverers, whom he accuses
of " aiding the faction ;" and, by a natural transition,
touches on the subject of the tithe campaign—coun-
selling his fellow-countrymen, however, not to resist,
but to petition.

We must not omit to mention that the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman eulogized Lord MULGR A VE, the
nobleness of whose character he considered " an ho-

nour to human nature."

In concluding, he said " I have announced to you
the danger of our situation unless we sustain the pre-
sent Government. Then down with the Tories !
Down with the Orange faction." In this sentiment
we fully concur ; it will find an echo in the heart of
every honest and right-principled man throughout the
entire United Kingdom.

The whole of the Paris papers of Sunday have been
received. On the morning of that day the Ministerial
differences had not been adjusted, M. HUMANN hav-
ing proved quite intractable when it was proposed to
him, in Council, to explain away the part of his Budget
speech which referred to a reduction of the Five per
Cents. The Journal des Debats says, that on Sun-
day a thousand contradictory reports were in circula-
tion respecting the situation of the Ministry ; but it
does not think any of them worthy of particular notice.
Still the continuance of such uncertainty was impossi-
ble ; and that journal was of opinion that the sitting
of the day following would explain and re-adjust
everything. The Moniteur du Commerce, a Ministe-
rial organ, states that Ministers would not again ap-
pear in the Chamber without coming to an amicable
understanding, and that harmony would be restored
without a dissolution of the Cabinet. The Constitu-
tionnel assures its readers that the wound inflicted
on the Ministerial body corporate appeared closed, but

that circumstances of an untoward nature had arisen
which opened it afresh. A council of Ministers had
been summoned to come to some decision, but
nothing had been done. The Courrier Francais

informs its readers that M. HUMANN had first
agreed to the proposal made to him by his colleagues,
but that he subsequently retracted. In common with
the other journals, the Courrier supposes that all
would be settled before the commencement of Mon-
day's sitting.
Should M. HUMANN resign, there are two candi-

dates for his portfeuille—M. SAUZET, a solemn twad-
dler; and M. DUCIIATEL, a smart political economist
of the new school. 'There is not a man in France
whom we would not prefer to M. SAUZET as a Mem-
ber of the French Cabinet.

There is intelligence from the North of Spain in

these Journals, the most important part of ehich is
given in another column. Tranquillity has been per-
fectly restored in Barcelona.
PARIS, Dac. 16.—Prince Talleyrand, the Duke de Choiseul,
the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Count de Monta-
livet, and several Peers and Deputies, were received by the
King. M. Menaut, the Consul of France at Jassy, left Paris
on the 12th for Vienna, with despatches of the Government.
It is said that the English and Portuguese Governments in-
tend to make to the Government of Brazil serious remon-
strances to obtain a suitable indemnity for the losses ex-
perienced by the merchants of the two nations residing at
Para.—Messager, Jan. 17.

Letters from Madrid to the 7th instant state that
M. MENDIZABA L intended to propose the pro-
ject of a law to the Cortes on the 20th,
for the payment of the interest of the pub-
lic debt, foreign and domestic. It is stated
as a part o'.' the Ministerial plan, that the
dividends on the Active part, which are now
paid only in Madrid, London, and Parts, will be paid
in future in Frankfort and Amsterdam, Brussels,
and other of the principal Continental Capitals.

The Augsburg Gazette contains a second article
on the subject of the policy of Russia, which we have

judged it expedient to exclude from our columns. The
writer's object is to prove that Russia is not actuated
by a love of conquest ; for that if she were, there is
nothing to prevent her from making herself mistress
of Turkey, as Austria and Prussia are disposed
to second all her views. To prove this the writer
triumphantly refers to the war between Russia and
the Porte in 1828, in which neither the Cabinets of
Berlin nor Vienna could be persuaded to interfere.
This is from first to last a mere assumption. There
was, at the time referred to, an almost general feeling
against‘Turlcey, and Austria- only manifested sympa-
thies which were then the reflection of those preva-
lent in England. Neither would Austria, Prussia,
and Russia—supposing that substances so heteroge-
neous could by any possibility amalgamate—be able
to bid defiance to the free Governments of Western
Europe. But there is no occasion for such a suppo-
sition. Austria never can—never will be the sincere
admirer of Russian conquests. It is otherwise with

ussia.

Letters from Constantinople to the 24th of Decem-
ber have been received. A few days previous to the
date of these communications, the Turkish fleet, at
anchor in the Bosphorus, had received orders to return
to the arsenals. The Porte had not returned an answer
to Lord PONSONBY'S note.

The fast of the Rhamad'han commenced on the 21st
ult. Never came national fast at a season more appro-
priate, for only a few days previously the SULTAN'S
favourite jester, ABDI BEY, had been summoned by
AZRAEL to quit the presence of his Sublime Master
for the Paradise of the Prophet. This was a calamity
which strewed every head with ashes, and rent every
garment in the imperial palace. Though " a fellow of
infinite jest," ABDI BEY had not neglected to profit.
by the smiles of the SULTAN ; for, on his death, it was
found that he possessed property to the amount of
fifteen millions of piastres, which, of course, returns to
the imperial treasury. NOURRI EFFENDI, the pre-
sent ambassador from the Porte to the Court of London,
has been recalled. As he is a rather comical personage,
it was whispered that he might be honoured with the
post at Court, vacant by the death of ABDI BEY.

REPRESENTATION OF GLASGOW.—The Refor-
mers are about to call a meeting of the Reform Associa-
tion, and receive their instructions on the subject. This is
the right and manly course, and whatever may be the deci-
sion of the sixty gentlemen who, by the tacit appointment of
their fellow-citizens, constitute this Association, we are sure
that it will be agreeable to the liberal constituency of Glas-
gow. We shall be able on Wednesday to speak out more
distinctly—at present we content ourselves with stating that
we understand that important and satisfactory information
will be communicated to the Reform Association.—Scots
Times.

From the complete success of young Charles
Mathews, at the Olympic Theatre, Madame Vestris has
made overtures to him to engage for the ensuing season.
The terms, which are extremely liberal, have been accepted
by Mr. Mathews.
Otway's tragedy of Venice Preserved is in pre-
paration at Covent-Garden Theatre. The part of Belvi-
dera by Miss Helen Faucit. Jaffier will be personated by
Charles Kemble. That character was esteemed by the late
John Kemble, in the early part of his theatrical life, with
the exception of Hamlet, as his greatest favourite.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT KENSINGTON GRAVEL
PlTS.—Yesterday, between twelve and one o'clock, a young
man, twenty-four years of age, a journeyman baker, residing
in High-street, Kensington, was delivering bread to his em-
ployer's customers from out of a cart, drawn by a young and
spirited horse, when, during the time he was delivering some
loaves at a gentleman's house, the animal suddenly set off,
and ran furiously away towards Bedford-place, Kensington-
Gravel-pits. Ths poor fellow immediately ran in pursuit of
the horse, and succeeded in overtaking the animal, but in
arresting his progress he fell, and the wheel of the cart
passed over his breast. By great exertions he succeeded in
regaining his footing, but appeared to have received some
severe internal injuries, and was immediately conveyed to a
shoemaker's house, in Bedford-place, Kensington, where
surgical assistance was sent for, but before it arrived death
terminated his sufferings.
FISHING-BOAT UPSET.—FOUR MEN DROWNED.
—About noon, on Wednesky, the boat Morning Star, be-
longing to Port Seton, East-Lothian, when returning from
the cod-fishing, was overtaken by a heavy squall about three
miles from her port, and in consequence capsized and went
down. The crew, consisting of five stout young men, were

instantly immersed in the water, but four of them contrived
to keep afloat until a Cockenzie boat bore down to their
assistance. Notwithstanding every exertion, however, only
James Sinclair, the skipper, was with difficulty saved. As
they were picking hm np, one of the drowning men called
out, " Down with your sail, ply your oars, bear a hand,
and come to me : lam fast going." It was, however, too
late, as before the boat could pull up against a strong
breeze and ebb tide, he and all the poor fellows had sunk,
and nothing was to be seen on the surface excepting some
oars and spars floating about. The names of the men
drowned are Robert Flucker, who has left a widow and
two children ; Robert Hay, who has left a widow ; Alexan-
der Flucker, who was to be married in a few days ; and
William Greig, unmarried. The accident was seen by a
number of fisherwomen, who were on the shore waiting the
return of the boats, and, as may be well supposed, their sus-
pense was dreadful, until they ascertained who were the un-
ortunate sufferers.—Edinburgh Courant.

BANKS' TOWN, SHEERNESS.—This agreeable
coast residence is rapidly rising in estimation, and the ac-
commodation provided for the entertainment of visitors and
families in its vicinity, at the Royal Hotel, appears to be
met by correspondent encouragement and patronage. To
enliven the present severe season, a ball of a very splendid
description is to take place at the above hotel on Thursday
next, and another in the course of a few weeks. As many
as ninety subscribers of the first respectability have already
entered their names ; among whom are Vice-Admiral the
Hon. C. Fleming and Captain Ellice, as Patrons, and the
Hon. Mrs. Fleming, as Patroness. The Stewards are Ad-
miral Fleming, Captain Blackburn, 69th Regiment, and J.
Miller, Esq. Banks' Town has been so named after the
late Sir E. Banks. _ _

Died on Sunday morning, the 17th instant, at Rich-

mond, Surrey, in her 69th year, sincerely lamented, Lady
Stanley, wife of Sir Edmond Stanley, late Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court of Judicature at Madras, and one of

the King's Counsel in Ireland. Her Ladyship previous to
her marriage was Miss Jane Talbot, of the Mount Talbot
family in Ireland, daughter of the Rev. John Talbot, de-
ceased, and niece of the late William Talbot, of r'lount
Talbot, in the county of Roscommon, Esq. She was con-
nected with many Noble and distinguished families, and -en-
deared to her friends and all who knew" her by the kindness
and benevolence other heart, and other estimable qualities.
On Saturday an inquest was held at the Jolly Gar-
deners, Crescent-street, Euston-square, on the body of Mrs.
Hannah Seaton, a respectable married woman. The
daughter of the deceased was examined. She stated that
her mother, shortly before her death, informed her of the
manner in • which she had met with the accident which
caused her decease. She stated that she was crossing Ox-
ford-street, near Tottenham-court-road, when she was
knocked down by a man on horseback, who was galloping
at a furious rate, and who did not stop. She was conveyed
into a shop close by, where she was attended to by Mr.
Moreton, surgeon, and was afterwards conveyed home. She
died on Thursday. Mr. Moreton was examined, and
proved she died from the injuries received from the horse.
The jury expressed their regret that the horseman could
not be found, and returned a verdict that " her death was
caused by being run over by some person who was to the
jurors unknown."

DURHAM CORPORATION.—The new elections
for Councillors in this city did not terminate so favourably
for the Liberal cause as we had reason to expect. It will
be seen by our report that two Tories were returned out of
the five Councillors who had to be elected. In each in-
stance this is to be accounted for by the blundering folly of
the Liberal party in not concentrating their strength.—Dio,
ham Chronicle. _ _

A letter from New York of the 24th of December,
received by a gentleman in this city, states that the loss is
estimated at 5,000,0001., about two-thirds of which will be
borne by the insurance companies. It was understood that.
the companies would make heavy failures in consequence of
this calamity ; but it is now ascertained that they will all
pay over 80 per cent of their losses, and many are quite
sound. The rebuilding of that part of the city which is de-
stroyed will be shortly commenced, and will give employ-
ment to great numbers of bricklayers, masons, and carpen-
ters. The wages last summer to these workmen were two
dollars a-day, and I have no doubt they will have three
dollars this summer.—Caledonian Mercury.
On Saturday last William Jones, of Free School-
lane, in this town, was convicted before Charles Freemen,
Esq., mayor, for selling unstamped newspapers, and sen-
tenced to imprisonment in the House of Correction for the
period of two months. Upwards of 3() unstamped news-
papers were seized upon him when he was apprehended. ---
Northampton Mercury.

CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.)

THE NEW LORD CHANCELLOR.
It being generally understood that the new Lord Chancellor
(Sir C. C. Pepys) would take his seat this morning, long
before the usual hour of meeting the Court was crowded to
excess.' At half-past ten o'clock, his Lordship, accompanied
by the new Master of the:Rolls (Mr. I3ickersteth), the Vice-
Chancellor; and Masters Wingfield and Dowdswell, entered
the Court, when the oath of Lord Chancellor was administered
to him by the Clerk of the Crown, his Lordship having signed
the declaration, on the motion of the Solicitor-General, it was
ordered to be recorded. The Master of the Rolls, the Vice-
Chancellor, and Masters Wingfield and Dowdswell, having
retired, his Lordship proceeded to hear appeals, none of which
possessed any interest.
