and that of the citizens. With their dispersal the irri-
tation was appeased. The Council met at ten o'clock,
and were able to deliberate without disturbance. The
people were, indeed, impatient, but were calmed, espe-
cially by M. Bachelard, one of the members of the As-
sociation of the 3d of March. It was then rumoured
that the Council had appointed a commission to examine
immediately whether it would be better to call a consti-
tuante, or for the present Council to prepare an electoral
law. The first opinion prevailed, and the proposal of a
constituante was adopted ; and the people dispersed with
loud acclamations.

MESMERISM, BY MR. HALSE.

A Lecture upon this subject was yesterday delivered
at the City Hall, Chancery-lane, by a gentleman named
W. H. Heise, who promises in his advertisements to
prove not only the reality of the influence called animal
magnetism, but to produce evidence through its means
of " an intermediate link between the physical and the
spiritual world," and to display" thb revelation of God,
as the Triune Magnet of universal attraction, genera-
tive peace and love." There were about one hundred
and twenty persons present.
The Lecturer read a well composed but somewhat
minute history of Mesmerism, from the days of its sup-
posed founder, and declared his belief in the existence of
a transmissible nervous fluid, the course and operation
of which, in ono human being, could be regulated and
governed by the will of another. Some impatience
having been manifested on the part of the audience, he
postponed, to a future occasion, the further elucidation
of this theory. He related the following case as that
(we understood) of one of the patients whom he was
about to introduce :

AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING.

We have received by express from Liverpool
New York Papers, two days later than those
brought by the Acadie steamer. The Oxford
packet ship, Captain Ilathbone, was telegraphed
off Point Lynas, at 11, A .M., yesterday, and was
towed in by a steamer about half-past ten last
evening.
The Patrick Henry from New York, which
was to sail from New York on the 7th inst., is
telegraphed, but no letters or papers have yet
been received. The following extracts from the
New York Enquirer furnish the latest news up
to the Ist inst. :

" A friend of mine (a female about 20 years of
age) consented to allow me to mesmerise her. The
first attempt continued for half an hour, but no effect
was produced. The next day I repeated the opera-
tion, and now partially succeeded, for I threw her into
such a profound sleep, that we were full half an hour
awaking her ; still there was nothing save the
profoundness of the sleep which appeared at 'all re-
markable. On the next day I again went to work,
and in two minutes she was in the mesmeric state.
The effects now produced Were beyond what I had any
idea of, and I respectfully request particular attention
to my description of them. 1 took her by the hand
and lifted the arm in a horizontal position ; I then let
go her hand, still the hand and arm remained in the
position I placed it. I now lilted the other arm in the
same manner ;it also remained fixed. Thus was she,
with her two arms extended, aid as motionless as a
marble statue, She continued thus for ten minutes,
at which time I placed her arms in their former posi-
tion: glio now opnned het eyes for a few minutes, but
they were fixed to one spot ; I tried if the eye-halls
would follow the motion of my hand, but I fiiund they
would not. When I lifted her arms, which I did after-
wards several times, I always noticed that there would be
a euddnn Shoat tir tWitali pale thrniigh them. and at that
moment they became as stiff as an iron rod. My next ex-
periment was to go to the othcr end of the room in order
to set;llshe would attempt to foliose me, but she did not ;
I then tailed to her; and told bar to come to inc. At this
moment 1 'ids flidst tilafrtietli rof the words had
scarcely escaped my lips before her hands and legs were
in violent motion struggling to rise from the sofa. I kept
her in this Way for one minute laid then went to her ;
she was immediately still. I again west to the other
end of the root, but I had no Moat moved than she
attempted to follow me ; I again approached her, and
by the aid of her sister, we lifted her from the sofa, anj..l
I told her to walk with me ; there was now a smile ob-
served on her countenance, and she walked tolerably
well ; but the most remarkable thing of all now occur-
red. I feel a curious sensation run over me as I write
it. Whilst she was walking round the room her face
was continually turned towards me ; at first I took no
notice of it, but having desired her mother to support
her whilst I attended to something else, her sister ex-
claimed, Look at her, she's turning her head all round
after Mr. Halse, she'll surely twist her neck off.' 'When I
heard this I approached her; her head had regained its na-
tural position (her eyes were close shut all the time); again
her thce was drawn towards me, and, wishing to try if I
were really the attracting power, I requested her mo-
ther to take my place as before, whilst I stood in front
of her. I had no sooner quitted my place and stood in
front, than her face was towards me ; I now moved from
side to side, and whenever I moved, she moved also.
Being beside her mother I quickly got to the other side
of her by walking behind her back, so that if her eyes
had been open she could not have seen me ; strange to
say, the head immediately turned, and her face was
again opposite to mine. I now jumped behind her
back, the head made a sudden twist ; I immediately got
in front, and the head regained its place. On my at-
tempting to leave her she struggled hard to follow, and
I therefore conducted her to the sofa. Now follow
some more remarkable effects ; indeed, so remarkable,
to me, however, that when I awoke next morning it was
some time before I could be convinced that all this was
not a dream. Being firmly seated on the sofa with her face
turned towards mine (whichever side of her I sat), I
asked what the time was, she said something, but we
could not make out what it was ; again I asked her,
and she replied in a very low voice, apparently as if
the sound came from the stomach, half-past four.' On
referring to my watch I found that this was exactly the
time to a minute. In ten minutes after, I again asked
her ; she replied in the same voice, I don't know.' I
requested her father, mother, and sister, to ask her ;
they did so, but no reply whatever could be obtained
from her. I again put the question to her, but she
talked in an unintelligible manner for about two mi.
mites, and as often as I would speak to her, so often
would she reply—but she would never reply to the
others ; this I considered most strange.
" My next experiment will cause more disbelief than
any of the rest, for I candidly admit I expect very few
to beFeve those accounts ; and if this letter bad been
the production of any one else and I had read it, I
should certainly have cried out, impostor ;' but with
such experiments, before me, I believe, in future, I shall
consider no man an impostor before I have proved him
to be such. To speak the truth, I scarcely know how
to credit it myself, so unwilling am I to believe in the
effects Of the mesmeric influence. My principal reason
for mentioning this, is to show I am no enthusiast in
this science, if it may be so termed. But to proceed ;
I requested her to sing—she did so, but such a tune as
I never before heard, yet not in the least inharmonious.
1 then desired her to sing " Rory O'More ;" she sang
it as perfect as she would is her waking state, with this
exception, that the sound appeared to proceed from her
stomach. After desiring her to sing various tunes, in which
request she complied, I made several experiments on her,
and the only thing I could compare the action to, was,
the magnetic power of a loadstone on a steel needle,
for she would follow me with precisely the same regu-
larity. I applied very strong ammonia to her nostrils,
so strong that neither of us could bear it for one
second ; she took not the least notice of it. I placed
cold black bottles to her face and neck, but no effect
was produced—she was asleep as sound as ever. It
was now time to awake her, for she had been in the
mesmeric state about an hour, and her limbs were get-
ting as cold as ice ; we therefore proposed, before doing
so, to lead her down stairs, but when about half way she
partially awoke, and her mother noticing her place her
hand to the back of her head, requested she might be
awoke. I consented, and in a few minutes afterwards
.he was out of the mesmeric state. She complained of
great stiffness in her limbs, and of a heavy weight on
her eye-lids, and she felt exceedingly nervous and cold.
On telling her she had been asleep above an hour, she
was much surprised, declaring she had only dosed for a
minute or two. On telling her to look around and see
where she was, she became very much agitated, fell
into a sleep for a minute or two, and then awoke per-
fectly composed."
The lecture. which was read in an effective and
modest manner, was concluded amidst much applause,
notwithstanding the previous manifestations of impa-
tience which we have noticed.

At the Stock Exchange yesterday morning the trans-
actions were only to a limited extent, and without much
variation in prices.

The Albany Evening Journal says:—" The bills of
the Commercial Bank of Buffalo are received at all the
Banks in this city."

We have no change in the condition of the cotton
market to notice. The sales were very limited at former
prices.

_
In the coffee, sugar, and provision markets generally,
a good degree f activity prevailed.

• PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 31, P.M.
There was but little done at the Stock Exchange on
Saturday, and the prices of most descriptions declined
still further. Pennsylvania Bank fell off from $lO to
$l5 a share ; Philadelphia Bank, $2 to $3 ; FarmerS
and Mechanics, to 11 ; Girard continued firm, and
with sales at the rates of Friday ; United States Bank,
do. ; Camden and Amboy, without change. In State
Loans there was nothing done.
Sales at the Board-150 shares U. S. Bank at ;
270 shires Girard at 25 ; 3 Louisville at 70 ; 10 Wil-
mington RR. at 30.

Closing Prices—U. S. Bank at 3 a ; Pennsyl-
vania at 180 a 215 ; Philadelphia, 65 bid ; Girard 25
a 25-k ; Camden and Amboy RR, 80 ; North Bank of
Kentucky, 80 asked ; Vicksburg, 21 a 34.
The fog on the Delaware this morning was so dense,
that the steam-boat, with the mail on boards and a
goodly number of passengers, was detained by the orders
of the Captain for some time ; finding that there was no
favourable change, a ferry-boat was chartered, and the
mail, with the passengers, were conveyed across to Cam-
den, where they took seats in the cars, and were taken
on by the proprietors of the Camden and Amboy line,
causing only a short delay.
BALTIMORE, OCT. 31, NINE were seven
persons implicated in the murder of 13igham—six have
bees tried, and four of them convicted. There remains
one more to be tried (Peter lliCollum), and he, it is
supposed, will be cleared. Besides these seven, there
are four other persons confined in gaol on a charge of
murder, which will make, when they have been tried,
eleven murder eases for this Court,

NEW ORLEANS, OCT. 22.—HEALTH OF THE•CITY.—
The number of interments reported to the Board of
Ifealth for the 24 hours and yesterday at noon, was 13 ;
of which nine were of yellow fever. This is a decided
falling off in the mortality.
HEATH or VICKSBURG.— The Whig of Tuesday the
19th says :—Our sexton reports thirteen interments for
the last five days, though there is not more than half of
them from yellow fever. From the new cases that oc-
cur daily we cannot say that the fever is abated—though
from what we can learn it is of a milder type than it
was some days ago.

PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Whilst Sir Robert and Lady Peel are
giving a series of splendid banquets to the fortu-
nate faction who have again contrived to get
their rapacious mawleys into John Bull's pocket,
and Sir Robert is carefully dressing up state-
ments of savings' banks, &c., to prove that the
country is in a most flourishing state, it is de-
lightful to find the godlike work of charity
going on, without distinction of party, in nume-
rous parts of the country. I venture to suggest
that the fund raised for the poor be divided Into
two distinct parts—one to, purchase food, the
other for warm clothing. Thus those, and there
are many, who would object to contribute to buy
bread, when only a fraction would find its way
to the poor man, and the rest stick in the land-
lord's pocket, could, without any violation of
their feelings, subscribe to the clothing fund. I
respectfully submit this hint for your considera-
tion, and am, Sir, your humble servant,
THOMAS BRUMSLEY.

DISTRESS AT BLACKBURN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlTy—Being of opinion that brief statements
of the distress of the country, circulated by your
valuable paper, may direct the attention of the
community, and perchance, of the Government to
its cause, I trouble you with the following.
Our condition in Blackburn is bad, but our
prospects are worse. Failures are numerous, and
more are apprehended. Subscriptions for the
relief of the destitute are contemplated, and a
considerable sum will probably be raised for that
purpose. But, Sir, we want justice. The people
are willing to work for their support, let the
Government but give them justice, by removing
the iniquitous bread tax, and alms will be unne-
cessary. A FRIEND OF THE POOR.
[We should be glad to receive similar commu-
nications authenticated by the name and address
of the parties from other towns.---En. Sun.]

SURREY COUNTY MEETING.
THE PRINCE OF WALES.
_ _

In accordance with a numerously signed requisition
to William Leveson Gower, Esq., the High Sheriff of
Surrey, yesterday was appointed for holding a county
meeting at the Spread Eagle Inn, Epsom, for the pur-
pose of adopting addresses of congratulation to her Ma-
jesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Kent, on the late auspicious
event of the birth of a Prince, heir apparent to the
Throne, and to express the augmented gratification of
the county from the official reports of the unimpaired
health of her Majesty.
The High Sheriff presided. There were also present
H. Kemble, Esq., J. Trotter, Esq., and E. Antrobus,
Members for the County ; Colonel Challenor, the Rev.
Mr. Rodgers, J. Bonser, Esq., D. Barclay, Esq., Captain
Parma, C. Barclay, Esq., W. Crawfurd, Esq., Under-
Sheriff Abbott, and several other gentlemen of influence
and station in the county, and the attendance would
have been much more numerous but for the flooded state
of the country.

Mr. Halse then produced successively three young
ladies, who were severally sent into the magnetic sleep,
and gave, in a series of varied experiments, what ap-
peared to us to be unequivocal manifestations of their
complete reduction under the power of the magnetiser.
The interruptions, however, which were created by a
large portion of the audience, prevented that distinct
development of the phenomena which has already, in
other cases, been reported in The Sun. The opposi-
tion which the Lecturer met with was by no means of an
illiberal character, and, although sometimes clamorous,
was at all events ingenuous, and conducted with perfect
fairness. After three hours of Cavilling, rather playful
than ill-natured, Mr. Halse's opponents came to an un-
derstanding with him, that they would give him an
opportunity of trying his powers upon a certain number
of individuals, to be selected by themselves.
It is due to Mr. Halso to say, that he conducted
himself throughout with very rare calmness and self-
possession, under very trying circumstances, upon his
first appearance before a public company.
The lecture will be repeated on Wednesday, and we
hope that the candour which was evident in those who
were most prominent in their interruptions, will induce
them to a more orderly course of proceeding on that
occasion..,

Before the proceedings commenced, Captain Parratt
apologised for the non-attendance of the Earl of Love-
lace, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, and accounted
for it by stating that his Lordship was engaged in im-
portant business in Somersetshire. Mr. Trotter apolo-
gised for the absence of Mr. Dennison, the other Mem
ber for the county, which he said was occasioned by a
severe fit of the gout.
The HIGH SHERIFF addressing the meeting said that
it was convened in consequence Of two requisitions most
numerously signed, and it gave him the greatest plea-
sure to acquiesce in the prayer of those requisitions,
and he felt satisfied that the meeting in expressing
their congratulations upon the late auspicious event,
were only expressing the unanimous sentiments of the
whole county. Her Majesty, by her conduct since she had
ascended the throne, had endeared herself to all classes
of her subjects, and was loved and revered by them all.
and they would therefore gratefully offer up to her their
congratulations at her recovery from the severe trial she
had recently undergone, and also express their gratifica-
don at the, auspicious event which had taken place.
When they looked back to the history of their country,
it was not difficult to account for the predeliction which
existed for female Sovereigns; for it was under the sway
of a female that this country had attained the highest
pitch of glory—and from what they had experienced of
the mode in which her Majesty had exercised the great
prerogatives that were entrusted to her, they had every
reason to believe that her rule would be equally glorious
to the country ; and that from the bright example the
young Prince would see before him, and the education
he would receive, that, under Providence, they might in-
dulge a well-grounded hope, that when he should be
called on to govern this great empire, that be would fol-
low in thl footsteps of their beloved Sovereign.
A loyal address to the Queen, and addresses also to
Prince Albert and the Duchess of Kent, were then
moved and seconded, and unanimously agreed to.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY !—Same time ago two
brothers of the commune of Bugey, in the Saone et
Loire, had to divide between themselves the property
of their deceased father. Among the effects was an
old upright clock, which one might have supposed was
not easily divisible, but the difficulty was got over by one
taking the works, and the other the case. When the lat-
ter brought his share home, his neighbours inquired what
use he could convert to. " Oh!" said he, "it will serve to
put my wife in when she is dead, and it will soon be
wanted, for she is confined to her bed, and cannot
live long ?" The poor woman heard the conversation,
and with tears and cries remonstrated with her unfeeling
husband. He, however, placed the clock. case by the
side of his bed, and there it remained as a warning to
the poor creature, who nevertheless staggered on against
her complaints for two long years. She died at last, and
was by her determined husband locked up in the clock-
case as her coffin. In spite of the outcries of his fellow-
parishioners, and even the more solemn representations
of the Cure, he insisted u on having his late partner thus
interred, and interred shep was accordingly.
DEATH 01? GENERAL SIR THOMAS MOLY-
NEAux.—Died, this morning, after a short illness, Gene-
ral Sir Thomas Molyneaux. He is succeeded in his title
and estates by his son George, now Sir George Moly-
neaux, Baronet. The Supplement to the London Gazette
of Tuesday, containing the Brevet, which reached town
this morning, announced the promotion of the late Baro-
net to the rank of General in the Army.—Dublin Mail

On Wednesday last, the old British Constabu-
lary of Merthyr were superseded by Sir R. Peel's imita-
tion of the French Gens-d'armes. Of the latter, we en-
tertain the best hopes.— The Silurian South Wales.

A Correspondent at Vienna informs the Presse
tliat during the late visit of Prince Metternich to Johan-
nisberg, negotiations were set on foot between him and
Count Von Maltzahn, the Prussian Ambassador, rela-
tive to the adhesion of Austria to the German Customs'
Union. These negotiations, the Correspondent says, are
now sufficiently advanced to allow of a favourable re-
sult being anticipated. The Presse attributes this ap-
proach to a more intimate alliance between Austria and
the other States of the Confederation to the necessity of

LONDON:
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1841.

We have reason to belieVe that the great and
good cause of Corn-law abolition is making con-
siderable progress amongst those classes who
have hitherto preferred contending by themselves
for the Charter to contending with others for
one of the main benefits which the Charter,
were it granted, could bestow. To use the words
of Mr. CARPENTER, in his well-written little
work on " Relief for the Unemployed,"
which we can praise with the better grace as
it advocates emigration to which we are opposed,
the Chartists begin to think, we apprehend, "that
they ought not too exclusively to occupy them-
selves in discussing political or other theoretical
questions where numbers of our fellow-country-
men are plunged, or being plunged, to the very
depths of poverty and destitution." They are no
longer justified, they think, in selfishly refusing
to lift them up into a better state of society, lest
in so doing they should weaken the motives
of our rulers to reform that legislative
process which inevitably produces these
calamities. The Chartists begin to feel
that the repeal of the Corn-laws is of
more pressing necessity to relieve the distresses
of the people than the reconstruction of the law-
making machine. At Huddersfield, last week, a
considerable number of them met Colonel
THOMPSON, listened to his lecture with great at-
tention, and afterwards calmly discussed the
subject with him. Such proceedings on the part
of the known friends of the people will soon, we
are persuaded, elicit truth and establish convic-
tion. From Colonel THOMPSON'S exertions in
the good cause, a great progress has been made
in convincing some and exposing the dangerous

errors of others. We hope that he will continue
his labours, and be rewarded by accumulated
success.

The next proof we have to notice of our pro-
gress is, that a meeting was lately held at Stock-
port, at which it was boldly resolved, that " the
Corn-laws could not be repealed by winning
over the electors, in consequence of . the great
preponderance of the landed interest in Parlia-
ment; and that the only mode was for the
people ~`',show their determination not to submit
to the oppressiag.". That was the language of
an influential meeting Stockport; and, should
the people in numbers act oil such a resolution,
it will hardly be safe for the landlords, though
supported by the army, to attempt to dragoon
them into submission to starvation. Ttif! late
census has again reminded the people that ttieY
are millions, while the landowners are but hun-
dreds, or at most thousands.
Again, at a great Anti-Corn-law meeting at
Bristol, on Thursday last, at which upwards of
2,000 persons were said to be prel:.,,nt, Mr.
BaowN delivered an animated lecture, in which
he did not hesitate to accuse the Corn-laws of
felony and murder. That part of the proceed-
ings is thus described:—

Ile should like to take the Iron Duke to some of the
cellars and hovels of Manchester, that he might see the
misery of the poor, and learn how difficult it was to pre-
vent a dying man, with h,5 starving wife andchildren about
him,from breathing his last breath in a bitter curse on his
oppressor. In such circumsiznees, a man was not fit to
receive the beneficent truths of tine Gospel, when he saw
their promises falsified by the hand of man ; and it was
nols-urprising that the poor, dying M. starvation, should
s'sy, we want not Bibles, but bread !_-(Jlear.) It was no
wonder that the poor Norwich weavers, . on a recent oc-
casion, should say, they wanted " more 1;::•<s and fewer
parsons, more bread and fewer Bibles."—(A round of
repeated cheers followed this quotation, nearly the whole
meeting rising.) He accused the Corn-laws of fm,"Y•
The law which compelled a man to do sixteen hom:s'
work for the price of twelve, or caused him to pay' 90:
for a loaf which he might otherwise get for 6d.,, robbed
him of the difference ; and it was a robbery of the worst
kind—it was a robbery of, the poor by the rich—of the
weak by the strong—of the unrepresented many by the
self-elected few ! But he accused this monster monopoly
of a crime still more terrible ; he accused it of murder,
foul and most atrocious murder !

Against such sentiments, spreading through
the length and breadth of the land, no law can
stand, unless it be pinned through the breasts of
the people by the bayonets of a soldiery, under
the command of a despot. The circumstances of
England forbid that. More than half our popula-
tion are a new people within the century, who
have preserved few or none of the traditional
attachments of their ancestors, and they cannot
be governed by a system which is neither theo-
retically just nor practically wise, and which
derives its whole strength from such at-
tachments.

We•must add, that on the 9th proximo, there
is =-Q, be a great Anti-Corn-law meeting of the
at Derby, from which we ex-
Midlam: _r,IQPn ties,

pect a bold anti'
pamphlet on the Sliding
SALOMONS, in his rece
Scale, says that there is noir- no influential body
-
of respectable persons who will Support the total
abolition of all duty on corn. We hope that the
meeting at Derby will undeceive him, as he
seems to shut his eyes and his ears to the lan-
guage and conduct of the Corn-law League, and
inform him that all the influential Anti-Corn-
law men are for a total and immediate repeal.
They may, perhaps, follow Colonel THOMPSON'S
advice, and go further, demanding compensation
for the sums already taken from them durinc,th
last twenty-five years, as well as abo on the
introduction of foreign posh, to save our manu-
facturers from being overwhelmed by that com-
petition with which they are now threatened.
On the whole, we think that the prospects of
repeal are brightening, and the people growing
more bold, The Tories, even, cannot avoid coun-
tenancing our exertions. They are compelled to
admit the existence of great distress; and Sir
ROBERT PEEL is sending emissaries abroad to
inquire into prices and wages. If he thinks,
however, to make the industrious, skilful people
of England, content with semi-starvation, be-
cause the 'subjects of the CZAR. are in slavery, and
the subjects of Louis Piiii.ippz are not much
better, he is mistaken. Such a cie:4gn will be
discreditable to him, and its success wculd be a
reproach to the people. They must not allow
themselves to be beaten down to the lowest st...ite
of human beings. They will turn their eyes for
an example to America, and not to Belgium or
Prussia.

We must, in conclusion, return our thanks to
a Correspondent, who has made us aware that, by
a transposition of the marks of quotation in our
leader of Saturday, the words " to which end
they will obtain the Charter, and then be able
to divide the soil," were printed as if they were
our own, whereas they were the words used by
the Chartists at the Halifax meeting, and should
have been marked as a quotation.

The Duke of WELLINGTON seems half ashamed
of his associates in the Cabinet, and has rather
pointedly taken an opportunity of informing the
world that he is not answerable for the acts of
the Administration. Whether the PEEL Minis-
try will be honoured the more for being com-
posed of STANLEY and GRAHAM, XNATCHBULL
and BUCKINGHAM, and for not numtoring in its
ranks the Duke of WELLINGTON, we must leave
the public and time to decide. The circum..3tance
on which our remarks are founded, is a lette.' of
the Duke's to the Deputation from Paisley—gen -
tlemen whom his Grace seems to have treated
with almost as much contempt as he treats his
colleagues. The following is from the Glasgow.
Saturday Post:—
Almost immediately on the arrival of the Deputation
in London, the Rev. Dr. Burns, and the Rev. Mr. Baird,
addressed a note to the Duke of Wellington stating the
ohjsact of their mission, the
which had induced them to
leave
r charge for the purpose of soliciting the means
of keeping I:l'ern in life. The note at the same time
most respectfa IY solicited an interview with his Grace,
i
the condition of the people of
.
for the purpose oa' laying
Paisley before him.
To this request the Deputation re-
ceived the following jal/4-opic reply :--
wa,mer Castle, October 26, 1841.
""P. M. The Duke of Vellington presents his compli-
ments to Dr. Robert Burns, .He is much concerned that,
being out of town, it is imp 9ssible for him to find time
to receive the Deputation.
" The Rev. Dr Burns,
" No 21, Manchester-buildings, W,asttninster."
Two days after receipt of the above note, through the
medium of the public papers, as well as from the stir
about Apaley House, the Deputation ware made aware
of the Duke of Wellington having return`ed to London,
when they lost no time in forwarding the eallowing note
to his Grace :
"The Members of the Deputation from Paioey and the
neighbouring places in Renfrewshire, most respectfully
solicit an interview with his Grace the Duke of Wel-
lington, now that he has returned to London, for the
purpose of submitting their subscription sheet to his con-
sideration, and for the purpose of affording his: Grace
some important information regarding the condition of
that unfortunate portion of her Majesty's subjects„ whom
the Deputation are sorry thus to represent.
" 21, Manehestei-buildings. Oct. 29, /341."
To the above note the Duke of Welli.agton forwarded
the following curious reply, which, take it all in all, we are
sure will be read with astOnishment over the whole
country : " London, October
30, 184 1.
"F. M. The Duke of Wellington preset. 'ts his com-
pliments to the Members of the Deputation fi 'om Paisley.
"t "It is true that the Duke returned to town the night
before last, in order to attend at Buckingha m House
when her Majesty will be confined.
" The Duke's time has been and will be much occu-
pied while he will be in London, and he must a gai, a de-
cline to receive the visit of the Deputa.tion from Rah icy.
" He pays every attention it is in his=n ower to give • to
the distresses at Paisley, as well as elsewhere.
A meeting to discuss them is not necess.ll7, in o rde.r
to draw his attention to these distresses; ant, his o,
occupations render it necessary that he shoult; decline
to receive the Deputation.
"Ho begs the Deputation to observe that he is not in
the Queen's political service—that he does not fill an V
