EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCH

If we experienced inconvenience and delay in the early
part of last week by the irregular arrival of the steam-
packets from England owing to the tempestuous weather,
that inconvenience and delay was amply compen-
sated, for on Saturday, by the kindness of Advocate
Tupper, who arrived here by the Atalanta in the
morning, from Southampton, by placing The Sun of
Friday evening in our hands ! What ! say some
good people, now could you get The Sun, which
is only published on Friday at three o'clock in the
afternoon in London, by half-past seven o'clock on
Saturday morning, after the lapse of only sixteen hours
and a half t The question deserves a decisive answer,
on account of the activity of all the parties concerned ;
and also to show whatever may be done by diligence and
persevering activity, aided by the power of steam and
the accommodation of railroads. Well, now to our pur-
pose. It is well known that Mr. Tupper is very active,
and very. diligent in whatever he undertakes ; and wish-
ing to give his friends additional proof to that effect,
he called at The Sun office, in the Strand, London,
on Friday morning, and asked the spirited pro-
prietor of that paper whether he could not con-
trive to let him have a half dozen copies of his journal
of that day, to take over with him to Guernsey, by the
train which left at half-past three o'clock for Southamp-
ton. The proprietor of The Sun promised to do his ut-
most to gratify the applicant ; and, as the sequel will
show, he did not disappoint Mr. Tupper's expectations,
for as soon as the required number of copies were struck
off and packed, a messenger on horseback was dispatched
with them, who fortunately reached the terminus
of the railway just in time to deliver his de-
posit into Mr. Tupper's hands ; and by that means
placed that gentleman in circumstances to gra-
tify his friends in Guernsey and Jersey-, besides
conferring on him the pleasure of being the first person
that ever brought a London Friday evening's Journal
on Saturday morning, at an early hour in Guernsey.
We tender our best thanks to Mr. Tupper, for his spon-
taneous act of kindness in remembering us, and also to
the proprietor of The Sun, who did on this, as well as
on several occasions, manifest a disposition to commu-
nicate the earliest intelligence to the public, which was
successfully accomplished by placing the London lumi-
nary in the hands of Guernseymen, in the incredibly
short space of sixteen hours and a half, after it was
issued from the London press !—Guernsey Comet.

CORN-LAWS.

Lord BROUGHAII presented a petition from Mid-
dlewich, Cheshire, and from the congregation of the
Tabcrnable Chapel, Trowbridge, praying for the re-
peal of the Corn-laws. The Noble Lord said he
would take that opportunity of reminding those
who thought the sliding scale was a great protection to
the agricultural interest ; that at the present time, when
that interest especially required protection, the result
of that scale was a duty of one shilling per quarter, and
the consequent introduction of somewhere about five
weeks' average consumption of the people of England
and Scotland. There had been introduced from

1,500,000 to 2,000,000 quarters at a duty of one
shilling. If there had been a fixed duty of Ss. it was
very possible that part of this importation might have
been made, but it certainly would not have been made
in a manner so beneficial to the consumer, and so little
tending to protect the grower, as the one shilling duty
by the sliding scale. Their Lordships were aware that
his opinion was against the fixed duty as well as the
sliding scale ; but still the fact should not escape their
attention.

Lord KINNAIRD presented a petition from Perth,
praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws. The Noble
Lord said that he feared great distress would result from
persisting in the present sy.tem.
The Duke of WELLES GTON said, that if the Woble
Lord had been in his place a little earlier he would
have heard it stated that a very large supply
of corn had been introdnced at ls. duty. There could
therefore (we understood the Noble Duke to say) be no
ground for the Noble Lord's apprehensions.
London, England, 1841-10-01

FALKLAND ISLANDS.

Capt. FITZROY asked the Noble Lord the Secretary
for the Colonies if the report was correct, that a Lieute-
nant of Engineers had been appointed Governor of the
Falkland-Islands, and if he would state the reasons
which had occasioned that appointment?
Lord STANLEY said it was a fact that a Lieutenant
of Engineers, Lieutenant Moate, had been appointed
Governor of the Falkland Islands; bat, as the appoint-
ment had been made by the late 2.rinistry, he could not
state the reasons for it.
ARMS SUPPLIED TO THE NAVY.

Clummodore NAPIER begged leave to take that op-
pottunity of correcting an error which had been spread
abroad respecting a statement made by him in
the House as to the inefficiency of the arms
supplied to the army and navy. It was re-
ported that the arms of which he complained
were furnished to the navy by the late Lords of the Ad-
miralty. The fact was, that they were supplied when
the Rigl‘Hon. l3aronet opposite was First Lord of the
Admiralty—(Hear, lwar)—and he was happy to say that
the late. Lords had caused such reparation to be
made that at the present moment there were not
better arms in any service in the world.—(Hear, hear.)
He had, however. nothing to retract from what he had
said.

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.

Among the reminiscences of " Charles O'Mal-
ley, the '[risk Dragoon" contained in this Num-
ber, we find a touching account of his return to
his uncle's house, after a Fong absence on the
Continent, which he reaches just in time to see
the funeral procession -of his relative moving
away from the docir. His reflections on this
subject evince much true feeling; and we have
been pleased with the following remark :—" For
the loss of those in whom our dearest affec-
tions were centred, there is no solace; the ter-
rible never' of the grave knows no remorse ;
and even memory, that in our saddest hours
can bring bright images and smiling faces be-
fore us, calls up here only the departed
shade of happiness. The desolation of the heart
is never perfect till it has felt the echoes of
a last farewell on earth, reverberating within
it." In the article headed " Letters from thi.

touches. "A Proposal for the Rev 7 Iptive

TAIT'S MAGAZINE.
The great question of
" What will Sir Robert
Peel do ?" is discussed by Tait this month with
considerable animation. Re comes, however, to
no cheerily,. conclusion, for he says—" The truth is,
poor Sir Robert is himself as much at a loss about
what he is to do, or more correctly, about what
he may he able to accomplish, as any one of the
guessers. He has surrounded himself with a
Cabinet, some of whom are as difficult to drive
in the right direction as Tipperary pigs. Sir
Robert Peel's best hope, at present, seems
the old Whig trust the Chapter of Acci-
dent; the unknown something that may arise
during the respite which , he craves." Tait
then goes on to show that agitation must neces-
sarily increase; and that as this is the chief ele-
ment of popular freedom, he trusts it will be kept

UIIITED S.h.',RVIOE JOURNAL.

Among the most interesting papers in the pre-
sent Number is one entitled "Tile Confessions
of a Spy," in which a minute account is. given,
evidently by one who was on the spot at the
time, of the state of Paris during the Reign of
Terror, and particularly towards the close of
Robespierre's career. Though we have narra-
tives in abundance of this extraordinary period,
yet it is one which will never lose its interest,
so dramatic was its character, so strange were
the actors, and so crowded was everyday with
startling events. The "British Colonies con-
sidered as Military Posts," is an article replete
with serviceable information ; and of the " Cam-
paign against Mehemet Ali" we may say that
it tells plusantly what has been told a dozen
times already.

SPORTING MAGAZINE.

In the Number before us, we have two cle-
verish engravings, one, "A Day with the Phea-.
cants;" and the . other a pretty sylvan sketch re-
presenting Sir Henry Wotton's fishing-seat near
Datchet, where old Isaac Walton used to be a
frequent and a fhvourite visitor. The literary
contents are of the usual calibre, and the most
acceptable paper is " A Sportsman's Recollec-
tions of the Woods and Waters of Canada."
London, England, 1841-10-01

METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE.

Mrs...TroHope's "Blue Belles of England" is
here continued. There is little in the story to
interest, and still less in the dry, bard manner
in which it is told. The present chapters are
specially dull. "Tales of the Pump-room" are
told with vivacity ; a little judicious abridgment,
however, would not have been amiss. " Auto-
Biographical Sketches " furnish us with some
pleasant reminiscencies of James Ho w, espe-
cially of the splendid literary dinner that was
given to him by his admirers at the Fieemason's
Tavern, on the occasion of his visit to Ilondon.
Mrs. Crawford, the authoress of these
" Sketches," who is an enthusiastic admirer of
the Ettrick Shepherd, says, "Greatly as I ad-
mire
.Burns, who sprang from the same ranks as
Hogg—the one a ploup,innan, the other a shep-
herd—l cannot but feet that the latter is by far
the more surprising man of the two. The lan-
guage of Burns has strength and energy, and
often melts into pathos; but it is frequently rude
and unpolished, the rhythm lame, and the
rhymes still more defective. The diction of
Hogg, on the contrary, is fervid, poetical, and
elegant in a high degree, and his versification
harmonious and complete." " Acting on Sus-
picion" is an agreeable story, which inculcates a
useful moral.

This. Part includes the actotttit o! the

CAPTAIN WARNER,

Lord INGESTRIE was aware that it wzs not in strict
order to allude to what had taken place in a former de-
bate, but he trusted the House would permit him
to take that opportunity of setting an individual
right with the public. He alluded to the assertions
which had been made by the Hon. Member for Halifax,
and the Hon. and Gallant Member for the Tower ham-
lets, relative to Capt. Warner's invention. Those Hon.
Members stated that Capt. Warner had refused all in-
quiry.
The SPEAKER said it was quite in order for any
Hon. Member, if he had been misrepresented, to set him-
self right, and in doing so, he would be acting strictly in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the House,
bitt he had interrupted an Hon. Member yesterday, and
he perhaps ought to have interrupted the Noble Lord
before, who was not correcting what had fallen from
himself, but was alluding to arguments which had fallen
from Hon. Members in a former debate.

Lord INGESTIVE was aware that he was not strictly
in order, but perhaps it would be the only opportunity
which might occur, and he hoped he might be per-
mitted to read a letter for the purpose of setting Capt.
Warner right with tte public.—(Hear. hear.) The
Noble Lord. then read a letter dated Bth May, 1840,
addressed. by Captain Warner to Lord Melbourne,
in which Captain Wsrner stated, that he was wil-
ling to refer his invoistion to a commission, as pro-
posed, but that he wished to substitute a naval for
an engineer officer, because the invention was more
particularly connected with the Navy, and there-
fore he wished to nominate Sir William Parker and
Lord Ingestrie,
_instead of an engineer officer, but that,
as secrecy was as desirable for the interests of the
country as for his owe, and as the administration
of an oath night be considered objectionable,
he submitted that each officer should give his
written pledge of secrecy, and he stated that by their de-
cision he was willing to abide as final.

period of the regular session will soon arrive, when
I it -Gill be my duty under another clause of the Con-
stitution "to give to the Congress information of the
state of the Union, and recommend to their consi-
deration such measures as I shall judge necessary
nd expedient.' And I most respectfully sunmit, hi a
a
spirit of harmony, whether the present ditli:rence of
opinion should be pressA't farther at this tune, and
whether the peculiarity of my situation does not entitle
me to a postponement of this subject, to- a more aus-
picious- period for deliberation. The two Houses of
Congress have distinguished themselves at this ex-
traordinary Session, by the . performance of an he-
mense mass of labour, at a season very unfavourable,
both to health and action ; and have passed many laws,
which I trust rill prove highly beneficial to the interests
of the country, and fully answer its just expectations.
It has been my good fortune and pleasure to con-
cur with them in all measures except this. And why
should our difference on this alone bt pushed to ex-
tremes ? It is my anxious desire that it should not
be. I, too, have been burthened with extraordinary
labours of late, and I sincerely desire time for deep
and deliberate reflection on this the greatest diffi-
culty of my Administration. May we not now pause,
Until a More favourable time, when, wit:i the most
anxious hope that Congress and the Executive mai
cordially unite, some measure of finance may be deli-
berately adopted, promotive of the good of our common
Country ?
I Will take this occasion to declare that the con-
clueions to which I have brought myself, are those
of a settled conviction founded in my opinion on a
just view of the Constitution. That in arriving at it,
I have been actuated by no other motive or desire,
than to uphold the institutions of the country, as •
they have come clown to w: from the hands of our God-
like ancestors—and that I shall esteem my efforts to
sustain them, even though I perish, more honourable
than to win the applause of men by a sacrifice of
duty and my conscience. JOHN TYDER.

*ere furnished and inhabited by the Emperor.
:l Long-
wood is now completely uneurni.e.d. The Prince was
the first to mount the few steps which lead to the apart-
ments
formerly occupied by Napoleon. his Royal High-
ness and all of us (the English who accompanied us in-
cluded) took off their hats in entering.l
General Ber-
trand and some of his companions in exile camp and
stood by the side of the Prince ready to answer hiS
questions, but their bearing was sad and mournful. A
profound silence reigned amongst us. The view from
the Windows disclosed only stables and out-houses. The
destruction visible all around had not been, caused by the
tooth of Time : it arose from tint neglect and careless-
ness of man. The chamber in which Napoleon breathsd
his last sigh—that sacred spot which a religious respect
should fur ever-protect—that spat on which his dying
limbs reposed—on which Bertrand and the caddied Mai...
chant on glancing at it exclaimed—" He lay there--his
head turned towards this side ;" this sacred chamber is
now no more than a mere barn ; the ceiling in ruins ;
the floor rotten ; the walls damp, decrepit, and full of
holes, and the place where his bedstead furniture stood
is occupied by a corn-mill ; the panes are shivered to
atoms ; this window-sashes are rotting away or alto-
gether destroyed ; and the door hangs to the dilapidated
wall but by a single hinge ! Our silence still continued;
not one amongst us appeared anxious to break it, for
our sobs stilled the power of speech within us. Oa the
spot where the chimney-glass once stood we read a mul-
titude of names and of inscriptions in honour of the hero.
Opposite the Emperor's bed, there was formerly placed
a bust and a portrait of the King of Rome, that poor
youth who also died in another exile. Now nothing of
this remains—absolutely nothing.

QUARTRR TO THREE.
As we stated yesterday the delay in the announce-
ment of the Brazilian Dividends was not attributable to
the new _Envoy froze the Brazils, Senor Lisboa, but
to his predecessor, S.,,nor Montezuma. In faqt,
Senor Lisboa was not 'duly accredited to this
Court until Wednesday, and he could not there-
fore act ; but when once acknowledged his first public
act of his Ministry was to announce the pay-
ment of the Dividends. This is tl.e best, because
it is the true answer to the vapourinaos of the Times,
Post, and Herald, against the new Brazilian Envoy.
We perceive that some of these are voluntary praises
and excuses for S. Monteztina, and perhaps he requ:res
them all.

All are anxiously expecting the delivery of the letters
by the Halifax steamer. The details, if any, respecting
M'Leod's trial, are fully looked for iu The Sun of this

MORNING EDITIOI11•

Mr. Tennent evinces much laudable curiosipr,?
and W
though his • road lies through countries with
which few Englishmen are unacquainted, yet he
frequently contrives to entertain us by describ.
ing things—as in the instance of some of ho
sketches of Ghent and Bruges—which have es'
caped the researches ofother travellers. There
are many pages in his work, however, which are
dull and tiresome in no common degree;
especially where he speaks of the agriculture an
manufactures ofßelgiurn, which have alreadybeea
described so often that the subject retains not
the slightest vestiges of novelty or interest. 01
Bruges he tells us that " it is unlike any pit o!
that one has been accustomed to before, and 1.
certainly the most perfect specimen of a town of
the middle ages on this side the Rhine. it:
houses have not been rebuilt in modern time''
and with their ample fronts; vast arched en-
trances, and sculptured ornaments, and fantastic
gables, are all in keeping with our stately
pressions of its feudal counts, and affluent bu
turbulent burghers. The squares maintain the
same character of dignity and gravity, overAf.
dowed with old ancestral trees, and flanked 0,
their municipal halls and towers, the monunieatb
of a time when Bruges was the Tyre of Western,
Europe, and her counts and citizens combin.ei
the enterprise and wealth of the merchants
the fiery bearing of the soldier." Our author''
notices of Ghent—hackneyed as is the theme--
are amusing enough; but he is far too length
in his descriptions of Brussels ; and in his see%
volume becomes positively prosy in his account
of joint-stock speculations in Belgium.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mules Kendall, a well-drest.ed person, was brought
up by the police on a charge of being drunk, and ao-
noying the inhabitanti of L?icester-square, by using
foul language at the early hour of three o'clock on
Sa-
turday morning.
'File prisoner, in his defence, said that he Lai been
dining outand taking rather too much wine ; be bad,
however, no recoPection of using the language imputed
to him.

Mr. liikwuNsoN—What are you ? Prisoner—l
don't know what you mean.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Hotv do you describe yourself ?
Prisoner—l am a gentletran. I cannot describe myself
in any other way.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Then you must pay 40s. as the
gentleman's fine ; you surely cannot object to that ?
Prisoner (evidently surprised)—l hope you will mitigate
the penalty.
Mr. HAWLlNSON—Certainly not ; as you choose to
represent yourself as a gentleman, you shall reap all the
advantagesof your own description.
Shortly after the prisoner was locked up, a fashion-
ally-dressed moustachicel personage made an applica-
tion to Mr. Rawlinson for a mitigation of the renalty.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Who are you, sir Applicant—
I am a relation of the prisoner, who has been well off,
but is now in reduced circumstances.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Why he says he is a gentleman,
and you, by your dress, look like one ; surely you can
raise 40s. among you. I shall not mitigate it in the
least. The file was eventually paid.

SOUTH-EASTERN HARBOURS.

A notice has been placed upon the books of the
House of Commons by Mr. Rice, that on Thursday,
the 18th instant, he will more the appointment of a
Select Committee on the State of the Harbours on the
south-eastern coast, to whom the Report of the Commis.
sion of last year shall be referred.
We ventured to predict last Saturday that our busi.
ness Member would not be shuffled off from his purpose
of an inquiry into the state of our harbours by the no-
House " accident" of the previous Thursday ; and the
prumptness with which the above notice has been paced
on the books verifies our prediction.
Surely we shall not again have a " dismiss" on Thurs-
day next, as we had on the 4th instant, when this im-
portant motion should have been brought forward.
The question must be grapil•A with one of these days,
and we wait with patience to see what the views of the
Government are on the subject, without, as the manner
of some is, attempting to dictate this or that site for
the necessary Refuge Ports, or the adoption of this or
that plan.—Dover Chronicle.

We believe we may state with confidence that
the Heads of Houses in the University of Oxford have
appointed a Committee to prepare some measure, giving
testimony of their entire disapprobation of Mr. Newman's
tracts, particularly the 90th. We are not aware that Mr.
Newman has yet answered the challenge of the Four
Tutors. lie probably does not covet a collision with his
Bishop.—. Evening paper.
