WESTMINSTER.

The revision of the lists of voters for this city has ter-
minated most successfully for the Reform interest, as
will be seen from the following statement:—'
RESULT OF REGISTRATION IN WESTMINSTER, 1846.
Reform claims allowed l2B
Tories expunged on objection 243

Deduct Tory gains on claims allowed

Total gains to Reformers 367
In addition to the above gain, there was. previous to
the revision, 979 more names on the lists than on the
previous register, a large majority of whom are known
to be Reformers; this increase has mainly resulted from
the attention paid by the Reform Society to the insertion
of names in the lists of voters previous to the revision.

MR. BRIGHT FOR MANCHESTER.
MANCHESTER, THIIRSDAY.—The long- pending. ques-
tion in the Reform Association as to the nomination of 1
Mr. Bright, at the next election for this borough, was
settled yesterday. W. R. Callender, Esq.,' was in the
chair, and a motian was made by Alderman Kershaw,
seconded by Alderman Burd, " that Mr. John Bright be
requested to allow himself to be put in nomination at the
next general election for this borough." The resolution
was carried with only two dissentients.
A deputation was then appointed to wait upon Mr.
Bright, and the resolution appointing it provided " that
in the event of Mr. Bright's accepting 'the invita-
tion of the ass,)ciation, a general meeting of the Li-
beral electors be forthwith called to confirm the nomi-
nation."
The deputation consisted of Messrs. Callender,
Alderman Kershaw, Alderman Burd, Alderman
Kay, George Wilson, W. Rawson, Edward
Watkin, and Samuel Lees, and these gentlemen
sent a special messenger to Mr. Bright, •at Roch-
dale, yesterday, soliciting an interview this day at the
League Rooms, Manchester. The messenger, however,
did not succeed in meeting with the honourable Gentle-
man, and at the meeting of the deputation this morning
a messenger was dispatched with a letter to the Honour-
able Gentleman, announcing the resolution which had
been come to.
Mr. Bright is expected to be in Manchester, to meet
the deputation this evening at five o'clock.

STOPPAGE OP THAMES-STREET. Thursday the
thoroughfare of Thames-street, between Southwark and
London-bridges, was closed to relay the roadway.
NOVEL TMPORTATION.—A vessel just arrived in the
River from Alexandria (Egypt) has brought, in addition
to 261 tons weight of animal bones, 3,758 baskets of
pigeon.' dung. This extensive arrival is not of the de-
scription of manure known by the name of guano, other-
wise, it is presumed, it woulsi have been so termed in
the repot t of the vessel importing the article. It would
appear, however, from the description given above, that
it possesses the qualities of, or is of the kind of merchan-
dise similar to, the article which has of late been so ex-
tensively supplied from the islands in the Southern and
South Atlantic Oceans, between the African and South
American coasts. Its importation from the particular
quarter mentioned, and the apparent novelty of the
at title so named, causes it to be of interest to those con-
cerned in the supply of the manure called guano, which
is the excrement or refuse of the penguic bird, abound-
ir.g in the southern climes, and is, therefore, entitled to
particular notice.

TIMES.—The sententious proclamations of the tele-
graphs have at length struggled through the heavy and
ominous clouds which interposed themselves between
Madrid and Neuilly, and Louis Philippe has been au-
thentically informed that the Duke de Montpensier has
been married to the Infanta of Spain. Such is the bare
and frigid announcement. Perhaps, his Majesty now
conceives that the victory is won, and that his family
will gather in the glittering spoils, and revel in the cap-
tured city long after the passing jealousy of an ally and
the envious cavils of a neighbour have sunk into silence
and oblivion. Sunt tanti. It is worths little discredit
and some disturbance to have another chance of level-

ling the Pyrenees and doubling the dynasty of Orleans.
The ides of March are come. Before they are past we
shall see a little more clearly what is to be the cost of
the prize. Already is misfortune augured from the boding
incidents of a solemnity which should have made the year
a jubilee. The Spanish Queen and her sister should have
been dowered with the hearts of their people; not a voice
should have been heard but that of favour, and not a coun-
tenance seen but that of joy ; liberated captives should
have marked the national holiday ; and the true and
tried allies of Spain should have sent their representa-
tives to the altar to carry the combined congratulations
of Europe. What has been the reality? A secret and
suspicious negotiation, with rumours of violence and
symptoms of fraud, has been terminated by an abrupt
and unblessed alliance. The marriage of an Infanta has
been compassed and concluded under circumstances
which no Castilian noble would tolerate in his own
family. Amidst the sullen silence of an offended people,
environed by cavalry and guarded by cannon, the intru-
sive bridegroom has traversed the streets of his newly-
found capital, throegh a crowd whose most friendly
feeling was indifference, and whose most innocent senti-
ment was inquisitiveness. . No sound of welcome saluted
his ears or cheered him into momentary confidence.
The energy of an unscrupulous Government contrived to
suppress disgust, but it could not supply acclamations.
Arrests instead of amnesties characterised this sinister
festival of a nation ; the marriage of a Princess has
been seen to crowd the prisons with her sister's sub-
jects. From the ill-starred ceremony the friends of
Spain stood coldly aloof, and the representative of
her truest ally and surest supporter withdrew from
the scene, after having vainly tendered the amicable
remonstrances of his country against the contemplated
contract. What will come of a bargain thus ominously
struck—thus stripped of the joys and gratulations of
such solemnities, and completed amidst such dark prog-
nostics of impending evil? The political and natural
horizons were black and overcast as at one of those mar-
riages which, in heathen fable, used to entail miseries
and bloodshed on innumerable generations ; and not
even the fatal u edding of Marie Antoinette was more
gloomily characterised than these precipitate nuptials of
a helpless Princess. Superstition was perhaps required
to infer massacres - and ruin frcm the fall of a scaffold'
and the deadly struggles of a crowd ; but the most sober
prudence can only augur conflicts and convulsions from
an outraged people, an estranged ally, an enslaved court,
and a detested intruder. Already is the unknown issue
of a marriage, which should have supplied reversionary
heirs to the Crown, ignored by that Power to whose
friendly aid both Crown and Constitution owe so much;
yet there is joy and gladness at Versailles, as if
forty years had not taught them to dread the tempera-
ment of Spain. It might be imagined that the re-
cords of 1808 were forgotten or inaccessible, so little
is learned from the lesson which they so loudly teach.
Indolent apathy might then, perhaps, have been
mistaken for popular acquiescence ; but such a blunder
is strangely simple now. It was amidst the apparent in-
difference of carelessness or content that the French co-
lumns were pushed across the Pyrenees, and established
in the frontier fortresses, while the partition of Portugal
was put forth as a transparent pretext for the occupation
of Spain. It was without question or interruption that
Charles and Ferdinand continued their unbecoming
quarrels, and tossed their neglected kingdom for arbi
tratiou or acceptance into the hands of the wily ruler of
France. Not a murmur reached the guard-rooms of the
arrogant Joseph, when the ninety-one notables had con-
veyed to him, as he fondly conceived, the peaceable and
entire possession or the monarchy of Spain.. Napoleon
had stronger grounds of confidence than Louis Philippe;
for Charles was an idiot, and Godoy was a fool ; and if
the ambitious Corsican thought that Spaniards would
willingly acquiesce in a Monarch and Constitution
of his gift, he might have been more readily par-
doned for forgetting 1706, than can King Louis
Philippe be for forgetting 1808. A week trans-
formed apathy into insurrection. A flame, the most
fierce and violent, burst forth instantaneously from ashes
under which scarce a spark was thought to smoulder.
Arragon, Navarre, the Asturias, Biscay, and the Cas-
tiles, successively or simultaneously proclaimed their
spirit, and their strength, and not a link was wanting
in a 'chain which encompassed the French intruders
with the vindictive hostility of an insulted nation. Spain
seems to fascinate the house of Orleans by an hereditary
law. Scarcely had the first uxorious Bourbon been se-
cured in his palace by the ill-merited loyalty of Castile,
than the Regent tampered with Stanhope for its transfer
to his own branch, or at least for its partition ; and King
Louis Philippe may, perhaps, recal the hour when he
sailed with a Sicilian kinsman to Gibraltar in pursuit of
this favourite prize, with somewhat different ideas of
English interference from those professed at present.
A few months will now probably show us how far he
has succeeded in a feat which foiled the undying ambi-
tion of Louis le Grand and the unexampled might of
Napoleon ; and what is the real value of the spoil for
which he has not hesitated to imperil a thirty years'
peace and convulse the relations of Europe.
POST.—It seems to be generally admitted among the
physicians of the mind, that there are intellectual as well
as physical epidemics, and that the human understand-
ing has its influenzas as well as the human body. Folly
appears to be as catching as the measles—any one gen-
tleman who may be insane upon some point of " social
improvement," has only to inoculate the brains of
his neighbours, to cause the major part of the commu-
nity to take the mania kindly, and to go as stark staring
mad upon the subject as himself. A little time ago the
enlightened British public caught the railway fever, and
everybody was delirious about " junctions," " exten-
sions," and " directs ;" but being under skilful hands,
the fever, as usual, was allayed by copious phlebotomy,
or a considerable letting of the vital specie from the
breeches pocket, and it was found that, as in the well-
known case of Nicolai, the Italian bookseller, the
bleeding bad the effect of dissipating the illusion.
The last new Mental malady is an eruption of clubs.
One or two " noble institutions" have already broken
out, and the streets seem likely in a short time to be
covered over with a severe rash of cockney Parthe-
fions, Palladiums, Athenaeums, and other Bow-bell
temples of wisdom and boiled beef. The clerks and
shopmen of the metropolis are to be fed and philoso-
phised at cost price. They are to have three courses of
fish, flesh, and fowl, and a course of scientific lectures
into the bargain, on the most reasonable terms ; and, so
that no time may be lost, the mind is to be feasted with
the body. A professor of hydrostatics is to come in with
the soup—a lecture on ichthyology to be served up with
the fish—and a popitlar discourse upon comparative
anatomy to lend all the relish of currant jelly to the
mutton. Consequently we may entertain hopes of
shortly seeing the day when eEuclids shall measure oat
yards of flannel on geometrical principles, when New-
tons shall calculate the gravity of our accounts at our
bankers, and Bacons oblige us by handing us the copies
of our writs. The richest, the raciest, the summa
stultitia of all, however, is a project for the construction
of a series of social Chateaux en Espagne, given • in a
paragraph now going the circuit of the papers, and the
first stone of which appears to have been laid in the
brain of some sapient correspondent of the Builder,
who seems to possess a fine lath-and-plaster facility for
running up castles in the air. The atmospheric archi-
tect puts forth a plan for what he calls "Family Club
Chambers," by which he proposes that the future resi-
dences of the middle classes should consist, like George
Coleman's fat gentleman, of several single houses rolled
into one. He is anxious to consolidate the domiciles, as
well as the funds, of the London gentry, and to locate a
different establishment on each different floor ; or, in
other words, to run up what he calls "a palace" several
families high, and so to found throughout the metropolis
a number of little communities of " flats." But the
gentleman cackles so eloquently on the subject, that, in
order to allow him the opportunity of saving the British
Capitol from the hands of the barbarians, we will give
his own version of the scheme :
" FAMILY CLUB- CHAMBERS. That the union of
several private residences under one roof would improve
the architecture of London, is unquestionable. If it
were properly carried into effect, we might live to see
palaces erected for the accommodation of the middle
clasSes, instead of interminable rows of mean dwellings,
which depress the spirits of all who behold them. The
system would also be most advantageous in preventing
the inconvenient extension of the metropolis."
So that " those interminable rows of mean dwellings"
which constitute the localities of Russell, Eaton or Bry-
anstone-squeres, which we believe were erected for the
accommodation of the middle classes," but from the con
templation of which we must confess we never expe-
rienced that " depression of spirits" which the aerial
builder mentions, are, we suppose, to be horizontally
condensed, and perpendicularly elongated, until they
arrive at the altitude of the brace of stucco Mont Blanes
which flank the Albert entrance to Hyde-park, and
which are of course, to the aerial builder, so much more
inspiriting to behold, and must be so healthy to ascend.
This arrangement certainly might have the effect of
" stopping the inconvenient extension of the metropolis"
spoken of ; but though it might prevent London from
growing a Daniel Lambert in bulk, we fear that it
would be the cause of the buildings becoming O'Briens
in height.
HERALD.—We are free to confess that we have
much greater expectations of Lord Cottenharn as a law
reformer than we ever entertained of Lord Lyndhurst,
The last-mentioned Noble Lord occupied the great seal
for the third time from 1841 till the middle of theptre;
sent year; and though no man was better awtaree
Noble
of
the
evil of the monopoly of the sergeants than h
nandoir.earned Lord, or knew better the ill effects of
hkn g up the approach to one of her Majesty's superior
courts,—or more sardonically laughed at the folly of
maintaining, in the nineteenth century, the usages and
customs of the twelfth and thirteenth,— or more stoutly
maintained the propriety and necessity of Lord Broug-

ham's efforts to open the Common Pleas, than Lord
L 3 ndhurst,—yet such was the uncontrollable laziness of
his nature—such his insoucient and careless character—
that he never made for five long years the slightest
effort to repair a state of things which was operating
alike to the injury of the Bar and Bench, and—what
was of far more consequence than either-10 the great
injury and oppression of the suitors frequenting her
Majesty's courts of common law. Somewhere about
the middle of the month of July, we believe, the great
seals were delivered to Lord Cottenham, and on the 18th
of August he had drawn up and passed through Parlia-
ment the 9th and 10th Vict. c. 54, entitled "An Act to
extend to all Barristers practising in the Superior Courts
at Westminster the Privileges of Sergeants-at-law in the
Court of Common Pleas." As this Act is a model of
brevity and clearness, and a full measure of justice to
both branches of the profession, and to all suitors, we
transcribe it in eztenso, in order that its provisions may
be thoroughly known :
" Whereas it would tend to the more equal distribu-

tion and to the consequent dispatch of business in the
superior courts of common law at Westminster, and
would at the same time be greatly for the benefit of the
public, if the right of barristers-at-law to practise, plead,
and to be heard extended equally to all the said courts;
but, by reason of the exclusive privilege of sergeants-at-
law to practise, plead, and have audience in the Court of
Common Pleas at Westminster during term time, such
object cannot be effected without the authority of Par-
liament: Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most
excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of
the Lords spiritual and temperal, and Commons, in this
present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of
the same, that from and after the passing of this Act all
barristers•at-law, according to their respective rank and
seniority, shall and may have and exercise equal rights
and privilege of practising, pleading, and audience in tho
said Court of Common Pleas at Westminster with the
said sergeants-at-law; and it shall be lawful for the jus-
tices of the said court, or any three of them, of whom
the Lord Chief Justice of the said court shall be one, to
make rules and orders, and to do all other things neces-
sary for giving effect to this enactment."
That this measure will not only, in the language of
its preansble; tend to the more equal distribution but to
the consequent dispatch of business in the courts at
Westminster, there can be no manner of doubt. For
the last five years the Court of Queen's Bench has been
overwhelmed with a mass and multitude of business
which no five—or probably no ten judges—in her
Majesty's dominions could effectually get through, so
as to leave no arrears at the end of the terms, or, if you
will, at the end of the judicial year. Some idea, and
that a faint one, of the increasing bulk and ,importance
of the business, may be formed from the fact that one
of the volumes of the Term Reports, which in the dayi
'of East—i. e., froni 1800 to 1812—used to amount to
about 550 pages, now, in the days of Adolphus and
Ellis, amounts to the astounding number of 1,080 and
1,105 pages. The cases of parish law, and involving
decisions on the new Poor-law Act, have increased
tenfold since the days of East—while cases of corpora-
tion law have, since 1832 or 1833, increased in a nearly
equal ratio. Railroads, too, have brought in their
train (we mean no pun) a new, distinct, and very
fruitful class of cases, altogether unknown to
the old law; and unless each one of the three courts
of common law performs a nearly equal share of
labour, the engine of justice, to make use of a railroad
illustration, will be altogether at a stand-still. The idea
of " exclusive privilege" to practise and plead in a par-
ticular court can, in the present day, only be defended
by the possession of superior learning, astuteness, and
aptitude and we hare yet to learn that any one of the
twenty-seven sergeants, or sergeants' counters, as they
are called in " Horne's Alirrour," possesses a greater
aptitude than any competent " apprentice" or " utter
barrister" in Westminster Hall. Whether the black
patch on the top of the wig or the purple gown of the
sergeant, described thus by Jekyll,
" Their purple garments come from Tyre,
Their arguments go to it,"
confers on him any extraordinary capability, we leave to
be determined by the learned brother who published the
case of the sergeants-at law, and who aspirated at a Lord
Mayor's dinner a fervent wish that sergeants might eat
calipee and calipash at the Mansion-house feasts so long
as British law and the British constitution lasted. Joking,
however apart, there are not above seven or eight of
these sergeant counters who enjoy any considerable
practice, and to say that the whole legal business of the
country should suffer, to secure the monopoly of these
gentlemen, is a proposition so monstrous, that it need
merely be enunciated to be at once placed in the limbo
of preposterous follies. It is, indeed, of the mainest
importance—as every practicable man knows—to the
attorney, to have his cause handled, ab ovo usque ad mala
—from the beginning to the ending—by the same
counsel. A cause is generally best managed in which
the counsel who has,first advised as to the preliminary
steps aid pleadings, sadyises and argues to the end.
Practically this was not so in the Common Please under
the arrangement maintained by Lord Lyndhurst—
himself an old and eminent sergeant. For from
every circuit in England causes were argued in
banco by sergeants who had not led at the trial, either
at Liverpool—or, Exeter—or Stafford—or Bury—or
Lincoln—or Chester—or Swansea—as the case might be.
And the preposterous and unjust part of the arrrangement
was, that sergeants who excluded all other barristers
from their close court—free as " chartered libertines"

themselves—took the wide range of Westminster Hall,
and plied, such of them as had large business, like Sir
Thomas Wilde—their gainful trade and tuneful tongues
—in every court, from that of the Lord Chancellor down
to the latest created Vice-Chancellor's Court or Court of
Bankruptcy. This was a manifest injustice, and could
only, be defended by those who resorted for anti-
quarian arguments to Fortescue and Dyer, or by those
sergeant counters who told us, as an extinguisher of
all discussion, in the words of Sir Edward Coke,
in his preface to the Eighth Report, and in his
First Institute, that the Common Pleas existed
as a distinct court before the Conquest, and was
not created by Magna Charta. To such pre-admite
pleaders for exclusive privileges as these—to such
preposterous pedants and prigs—it was vain to
urge, the spirit of the Uniformity of Process Act,
altering the mode of proceeding in the Common Pleas—
as well as in all the other courts—vainer still to urge the
spirit and exigencies and requirements of the age and
time in which we live—for they were blind as well as
deaf to what was passing around them. But now their
illusions are dissipated,—not by the Queen's writ—but
by the Act of Parliament, which we have given in
its entirety. No longer, therefore, can the ancient
counters— •

" The sergeants-at-law both ware and wile,
Who often do come to the parvise,"
claim exclusive privilege "pur enginer la court," to use
the words of the statute of Westminster—(and which
has been erroneously translated in the statute-book " to
beguile the court," for the words mean to dupe and de-
ceive, and the phrase is so used by La Fontaine), for
Lord Cottenham has levelled the barriers they erected,
and opened the common bench to the common bar,—
to men with stuff in their heads, and with stuff on their
backs.

ADVERTISER.—The meeting held at Manchester
on Tuesday last, for the purpose of memorialising Go-
vernment on the subject of abolishing entirely the re-
maining duties on foreign corn, will, we have no doubt,
be followed by similar assemblages in all parts of the
country. Indeed one has already taken place in Sun-
derland. It is only surprising that meetings, having for
their object the opening of the-ports, have not before
now taken place in every populous town in the country.
There is only ene thing, in connexion with this subject,
which has caused us greater surprise. Can our readers
guess what that one thing is ? If they bestow a mo-
ment's reflection on the matter, they cannot fail to arrive
at a right conclusion. That which excites our amaze-
ment to the highest pitch, in connexion with the pre-
vailing alarm and the impending famine, is, that Govern-
ment should not, weeks ago, have thrown open the ports
to the untaxed admission of foreign corn. The
astonishment which we feel is not confined to our-
selves. It is shared by the country. It is universally
felt. If ever a Minister's course was clear, if ever
his duty was plain, Lord John Russell's was so
in reference to the unbarring of ottr ports to the
admission of foreign corn, duty free, whenever it was
seen that the potato crop in Ireland was a total failure,
and that the corn harvest generally throughout the
kingdom was below an average. How Lord John Rus-
sell can reconcile his refusal to open the ports at such a
crisis as that which has overtaken us, with the duties
which, as the first Minister of the Crown, he owes alike
to the Sovereign and the people, is more than we are
able to comprehend. It is for himself to explain it. If
the Noble Lord can make out a case for himself; he must
be a much abler logician than the public has hitherto
given him credit for. One thing is certain—there isnot
a man beyond the pale of the Cabinet who does not feel
and say that a graver dereliction of duty was never com-
mitted by any Minister. Time was when the Noble
Lord would have been impeached for such neglect.
Many a Minister before him has stood at the bar of Par-
liament for dereliction of duty of a much less
nature. Morally, the Noble Lord is responsible
for every death from starvation which takes
place in Ireland ; constitutionally, he ought to
be also so considered, and be dealt with ac-
cordingly. Nay, more, we maintain that Lord John
Russell is responsible for every breach of the peace
which may take place in Ireland, and everyo hasge its
on
property which may occur in that cotry,
origin in the present scarcity and high :whichprices of food.
Du we absolve from blame those who may be the prin-
cipal actors in any popular outbreaks on the other side
of the Channel ? Nothing can be farther from our
minds. The law must deal with all such persons as
guilty. They must be punished. On the contrary hypo-
thesis, there would be an end of all order. Society would
be disorganised. Anarchy would everywhere prevail.
So long as laws exist, they must be enforced, even
when their violators have been worked up by cir-
cumstances over which they bad no control, to a
state of desperation. But ifo the wretched peasantry 1
of Ireland are not to be held guiltless, even with
all the palliating considerations which, in their
present condition, can be urged in their fa-
vour, what shall be said of the criminality,
both moral and constitutional, of the Noble Lord at
the head of the Government, when he has refused to
adopt a'course which would have had the effect of mid.'
gating the evils which have (Liven the Irish W. this state

MEXICAN BONDS.

The following highly important communication on the
subject of the Mexican debt, with a copy of the opera-
tive part of the " dispatch," has been forwarded by
Senor Gomez Farias the younger, son and representative
of the Mexican Minister of Finance. It will be observed
by the second clause of the dispatch that the Mexican
Government contemplate a re- exchange of the old for
the new bonds as the chief thing to be done at present;
and by the third clause, that there is a notion of some
new terms, yet undefined:—
"TO TUE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
" Sir,--I am informed that the continued silence of
Mr. Murphy with regard to the determinatoin of the
Mexican Government on the subject of the arrangement
of its foreign debt lately made in this city, has excited
much uneasiness among the bondholders, and an unfa-
vourable feeling towards the Government of the Re,-
public.
" Desirous of calming the apprehensions of those in-
terested in the public debt of Mexico, I beg to assure'
them that the resolutions of my Government disapprov-
ing the conversion made under the late administration"
of General Paredes, have been adopted, not from mo-•
tives of party, and still less from those of interest, but
solely from the conviction that the country could not
fulfil the engagements which Mr. Murphy, without any
powers to such effect, bad contracted.-
" Sinee,-thirefore, it appears that Mr. Murphy re-
fuses -to make public the orders which he received by
the last steamer from his Government (and which I de.
livered to him in person on the 7th inst.), that the bond-
holders may know the real intentions of the present
Mexican Administration, I beg to accompany herewith
a translation of that part of the dispatch which contains
the orders referred to, and soliciting its publication.—
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,

" 1. That the conversion of our debt into the consoli-
dated fund of 10,241,6501, sterling is hereby annulled,
and your Excellency is responsible for whatever loss or
detriment may from this operation result to the republic.
" 2. That public notice be immediately given through

which they had previously delivered for conversion,
giving in exchange those that they may have received of
the new consolidated fund.

"3. That due notice be likewise given through the

MARVELLOUS RAIL WAY INCI-

DENT.

On Monday last, Oct. 12, a gentleman of the name of
Parker, of Sydenham, Kent, was travelling by the mail
train from Derby to London, in a first class carriage;
his only companion being a gentleman about thirty
years of age, remarkably handsome, and perfectly gentle-
manly in his appearance and manners. After some pre-
liminary conversation, he requested to have the window
kept open, and offered Mr. Porker his wrapper if he felt
inconvenienced by the cold. Other conversation ensued,
and he stated that he once possessed a large fortune,
which he had squandered; that he bad now retired from
the army, and had not been so happy for a long period
as at that moment; adding that some friend had given
him 1,1001. to pay- his debts, and 5001. more to
buy furniture, and that the first thing he intended to
do was to buy a dressing-case, which would cost bim
thirty-five guineas, which Mr. Parker remarked he
thought would be a great pity, as no doubt he already
possessed one. A fter some further conversation, which
began to alarm Mr. Parker, he suddenly dropped on
his knees, and in a most energetic and fervent manner
prayed for his friends the Dukes of Beaufort and Wel-
lington, and more particularly that his dear mother, who
had died in his infancy, should appear, &c. After rising
from his knees he exclaimed to Mr. Parker, " Did you
hear a noise ? You must have heard that God was
speaking to me." At the same moment a train passed,
the engine of which he declared to be hell. Mr. Parker
by this time being greatly alarmed, tried in vain to
soothe him ; his only reply was," Have you repented of
your sins?" at the same time throwing off his boots,
coat, and shirt, with his gold watch, chain, and seals ;
he began to slap Mr. Parker in the face, exclaiming,
" You must come along with me !" and thrusting his
own head through the window, he cut his head and nee
in a most shocking manner, and was soon covered with
blood. He then returned with double fury, and beat
Mr. Parker about the head and face most severely. Ex-
pecting to be murdered every moment, Mr. Parker en-
treated him (in order to gain time) to pray again, which
he instantly did ; while Mr. Parker, at the imminent
risk of his life, opened the door and made his way to
the next carriage, where there was only one gentle-
man, who, having heard all that had passed, helped him
in and shut to the door. They had scarcely done this
when the madman appeared, endeavouring to force his
way in also, and it required the united efforts of both-to
keep him out, so he returned to his carriage. This hap-
pened near the Watford station. Frequent and unavail-
ing appeals were made to the guard for assistance, stating
that a gentleman was dying, aed the reply was that being
after their time they could not stop, as the Manchester
train was close behind them. This, however, was no
excuse for the guard not going to the carriage to ascer-
tain what was the matter. All Mr. Parker knows fur-
ther of this strange companion is, that the guard of a
following train saw a man in a state of nudity running
by the side of the road, which can only be accounted for
by his having thrown himself off the train, which was
then going at an increased speed. A servant was at the
terminus of the Euston-square station, waiting for his
master; but Mr. Parker being in a dreadfully bruised
state, and most anxious to get home, did not wait to hear
the result of this strange encounter. We are happy
to say he is now nearly recovered from the effects of his
violent bruises and most alarming position.

CELEBRATION OF EARL GROS-

VENOR'S MAJORITY.

Chester was on Tuesday wholly given to festivity to
celebrate the coming of age of Earl Grosvenor, eldest
son of the Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster.
The bells of the cathedral and other churches rang
forth merry peals, bands paraded the streets, and all was
hilarity and mirth. Two thousand tickets, value seven
shillings each, available either in silver coin or mist and
drink, were distributed among the citizens as a gift from
the Noble Marquis, to enable them to " make merry
and be glad " on this auspicious occasion; and various
social parties assembled at the different hotels and inns
to enjoy a good dinner, and to drink long life and hap-
piness to the respected heir of the Noble 'louse of
Eaton. About twelve o'clock the boys of the Blue Coat
Hospital, preceded by their excellent juvenile band,
marched with their elegant banner and new flags pre-
pared for this festivity, to Eaton Park, where a scene of
universal rejoicing presented itself. In front of the
splendid mansion of Eaton Hall mall marquees
were erected, in which an immense body of
the tenants of the Noble Marquis, their la-
bourers, and dependents, were feasted with a
most substantial dinner of good old English cheer,
with potations of the choicest juice of the " barley
bree;" and most heartily did the assembled throng do
justice to the bounty of Lord Westminster, and most re-
solutely did they cheer the bumper toast to the health
of the Earl Grosvenor. The festivities at Eaton Hall
were continued on Wednesday and Thursday, when the

Honourable Mr. Lawley, and other members of the

and of the most influential citizens of Chester were
spectators of the joyous scene. At five o'clock in the
afternoon about two hundred of the principal gentry
and tradesmen of the city and neighbourhood sat down to
a banquet at the Royal Hotel. In the unavoidable ab-
sence of the Mayor, Mr. Thomas Dixon discharged the
duties of the chair. The greatest conviviality animated
the party, and the toast of the evening, to the health
and happiness of Earl Grosvenor, was drunk in wines of

Th

heavy surge, Lieutenant Pratt and eleven of the Coast
Guard at Brighton launched the life boat at the end of
the`chain pier, to go to the assistance of a sloop anchored
about a mile off the cliffs. The crew, however, declined
all assistance, and the life-boat returned through the
heavy surge, riding gallantly on the water, and the Lieu-
nant and his men were greeted on their arrival by th
cheers of ktiadreds of maim spectators.

Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street.
Orders received by all Booksellers. grandson of
tEgaliti, is but a sorry consummation of
thundying .princtples and, prodigious struggler of
the Prenchsßevolutioni 7:Surely it is the tacit abnega-
tion of all those glorious concessions to the majesty of the
)eople which were then obtained at the cost of so much
blood, and with'the exercise of such..gigantic powers !
It is but a sorry sequel to the 'first brilliant achieve-
ment of the' present monarch of France. It is not
well to see the same man gambling away the inde-
pendence of a great nation for the selfish end of his
own family emolument who, as the Due DE CHAR-
TRES, fleshed his sword so bravely in the charges of
Jemappes under the banners of DUMOURIER.
King Louis PIIILTFPE should have conned over the
lesions imparted by the history of his own country
before be embarked upon this dangerous enter-
prise. He should, as every conscientious So-
vereign does, have read the records of his
people, and have been warned by the blun-
ders of his imperial predecessors. Had he suffi-
ciently weighed the precedents of Gallic interference
in the affairs of Spain, he would have been more
cautious in hazarding the same species of catastrophe
upon a similar enterprise. Possibly, the upholders of
the recent policy of the French SOVEREIGN may
regard these objections to that policy as of a rather
penultimate character. Not so. The marriage has
undoubtedly been solemnized. Telegraphs and
couriers have unquestionably conveyed the intelli-
gence to Paris. Bonfires have been kindled round
the Pardo, guns have been fired from the
Escurial, flowers and perfumes have been
scattered upon the sacred pavements of
Atocha, in honour of this illustrious occurrence.
The infanta LUISA. is now Duchess of MONTPEN-
SIER. So far, the wishes of Louts PninusrE have
been realised—so far, his insatiable lust of political
influence has been gratified. But, observe the con-
comitants of these proceedings, and behold the
prospects of woe which gloom through this
hollow jubilation. The sullen and ominous silence of
the multitude assembled in the streets of Madrid on the
entrance of the French Princes, the seizure of refrac-
tory newspapers, the bayonets and artillery that bristled
round the carriage of the foreign bridegroom, the se-
verities which preceded his arrival at the capital, the
unseemly rapidity with which the nuptials were
solemnized—everything betrays the indignation of the
Spanish populace, and the sense of insecurity
which had taken possession of the minds of
the contracting parties. Nor does the silly
attempt at assassination by OLAVAIIIETTA
sufficiently account for the extraordinary pre-
cautions taken by the gendarmerie for the preserva-
tion of the life of the Duc DE MONTPENSIER.
Statements the most garbled have disgraced the
Ministerial journals of Paris, evidently written with
an anxiety to delude the popular imagination. Such
incidents as the determination of the Ayunta-
mientos of Madrid to cause the marriage of twelve
orphans with liberal dotations, in commemoration of
the royal espousals, have been vaunted in terms of
amazing exultation ; while others,,such as the refusal of
the Ayuntamientos of Burgos to dispatch a congratu-
latory deputation, have been slurred over as of not the
smallest importance. This ministerial hypocrisy will,
however, prove of no ultimate advantage. The desti-
tute condition of Ireland, the implied apathy of the
protesting nation, and the embarrassments supposed
to threaten our Indian possessions, will not,
as is presumed, shield France from the diffi-
culties her rulers have themselves originated.
In relation to these imaginings, we would especially
remind the Ministerial press of Paris, that churlish-
ness is not logic, that parade is not triumph, and that,
though Colonel BLOOD could bear a regalia away
in his pocket, it would be somewhat difficult for any
one to commit a burglary upon a constitution, or to
carry off, surreptitiously, the affections and obedience
of a people.

upon

matters of important public interest. This duty is
best performed when the Executive are successful in
anticipating the wants of the people. Inasmuch as
Parliament is not always assembled, and also because,
even when it is, legislation is frequently a tardy pro-
cess, the Government are authorised in many in-
stances by orders in Council, to check an evil, which,
without such intervention, would prove highly in-
jurious to the country ; and again, such is the imper-
fection of human wisdom, that Ministers, overtaken
by unexpected embarrassments of vast national con-
cern, have frequently, and with marked wisdom,
either exceeded a particular law, or altogether set it
aside upon their own responsibility, trusting to
Parliament to indemnify them for their several or
collective acts. We have recently had a notable
instance of this policy in the conduct of Lord
BESBOROUGH. The defects of the Labour-rate
Act for Ireland were peculiarly manifest. The Lord-
Lieutenant, warmly pressed by all the leading men
in Ireland to extend its operations, has adopted the
recommendation upon his own responsibility. But,
although this is a wise resolution, yet it is not to be
doubted that it would have been infinitely better in
the Government to have concurred in the propriety
of its adoption much earlier than they did. Much of
valuable time has beep lost by the delay, and we are
so much behind hand in carrying out the necessary
means for mitigating the alarming consequences of
the heavy visitation that has fallen upon Ireland.
The evils the Administration had to cope with lay
glaringly on the surface, and weeks ago not a moment
should have been lost by them, in either convening
Parliament for the necessary powers, or in assuming
them, as they have at length done, upon the faith of
future indemnity. This was precisely a state of
things where energy and boldness on the
part of a Government could have been most
happily and efficaciously exhibited ; instead of
which, the Cabinet have failed, to a great extent, in
-what is an invaluable portion of their duty, the anti-
cipation of the wants of the community, first, by not
having passed their Labour-rate Bill so as to autho-
rise and include theinvestment of capital in reproduc-
tive works in Ireland, and next by the procrastina-
tion they permitted previous to curing this defect in
the way we have alluded to. Delay is often tanta-
mount to destruction, and exigencies will not stand
still whilst numerous public meetings are being as-
sembled to indicate to the Executive the adequate
steps to be adopted for warding off great and im-
pending calamities. The celebrated PITT, was in the
habtiit of having closeted with him the loading mercan-
tile men, and by these means was eminently success-
ful in legislating in due season fur the security of
conanercial harmony. Last year Sir ROBERT
Psirn, fully alive to the then existing and
greater prospective distress in Ireland, was
prepared to open the ports, and subsequently
stai:ed is Parliament, that had his colleagues not
coincided with his own'views, he was fully prepared
to -undertake the entire responsibility of that and
eve... 7 other means for averting the horrors of famine
that menaced to shadow the length and breadth of
the sister isle.
We have been led to these observations in conse-
quence of an important memorial that has been ad-
dressed to Lord)Jousi RUSSELL by the working
classes of Manchester, at a public meeting which
they :held in'theif Town-hall on Tuesday last. They
have entreated the Government to call an immediate
Council, to throw open the ports of the United
Kingdom to all kinds orvrovisions, free of duty. We
,---
trust the Cabinet ss ill promptly accede to their re-
quest. The rise in the price of bread has within a
short time become nearly equivalent to three- 1
fifths of its entire cost. The consequence is,
that the receipts of the general tradesman are
seriously diminished, and the home market for
manufactures is already in a languishing
condition. But what should determine the Govern-
ment in favour of the memorialists is, that, by the
stat)stics presented at their meeting, it would appear
t.hereks an abundance of food in the country, and
that, therefore, the enhanced price of bread is attri-
butat ile to speculation. We blame not the mono-
polisilng.holders of corn ; they have a light to use
their. capital as they think most advantageous to
ther aselvea ; but we ...shall view it as a matter of
serf jus culpability if, when famine and crime are

We have news from Geneva of the 12th. The
Provisional Government was conducting affairs in
the most orderly manner, and the canton was per-
fectly tranquil. The party in the ascendant do not
appear disposed to abuse their victory. The Revue de
Geneve, which is conducted by M. JAMES FAZY, the
chief of the revolutionists, contains an article strongly
condemnatory of a proposition which had been made
in an anonymous paper circulated through the city
for the formation of an exceptional tribunal for the
trial of those members of the ex-Government who
hail ordered the troops to fire on the people.

111airid papers of the 9th have arrived. The He-
rald(' says---
Two days ago it was reported that the British Go-
vernment had sent in another energetic note against the
consequences of the marriage of the Infanta; but yester-
day we were assured on the contrary that Queen Vic-
toria. had written a very satisfactory letter to Louis
Philippe, in reply to one which she had received from
him. The rise of the funds here yesterday is attributed
to this annnuncenient."

The same journal, in allusion to the man who had
been arrested on a charge of attempting to shoot the
D uc DE MONTFENSIER, says there are various rumours
as to who he is, but it is disposed to attach credit to a
report that he is the brother of one of the tutors of
the daughters of Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA, and that
he is insane, and will probably be confined in one of
the lunatic asylums.
Mr. BULWER returned to Madrid on the evening
of the Bth, and on the same day Mr. COBDEN arrived
in that city.
