LANDING OF DON CARLOS.

(SOME FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
Upon the royal party being conveyed to the com-
modious apartments provided for them, Don Carlos
requested that the guard might be dismissed, after
thanking them for their attention. The Prince de-
clined the usual honour of having sentinels posted at
the door of his residence. Such were the grateful
feelings of the royal party to Captain Fanshawe, and
the officers and crew of the Donegal, that Don
Carlos wished to distribute 5001. amongst the crew,
and present each officer with a gratuity, which he was'
prevented from doing only by an assurance that such
presents were contrary to Admiralty orders. It ap-
pears that so closely were the royal party pursued by
General Rodil, that on one day the Princesses and the
children were compelled to walk several miles for
personal security, and that without any subsistence
whatever. Don Carlos did not appear to possess any
money when he embarked in the Donegal, but he
received ample supplies so soon as he arrived in this
country.
The family of Don Carlos consists of the Queen
(so called), her sister (the Princess de Beira), and
three sons, the eldest about 16 years of age. The
Bishop of Leon and the domestic chaplain are the
only ecclesiastical persons in the suite. Whatever be
the opinions formed of the fitness of Don Carlos to
the present political circumstances of Spain, connected
with the social reforms and arrangements in progress
throughout that kingdom, there can be no exception
whatever taken to that Prince's personal character :
he is in private life a pattern of the social and domestic
virtues, and is beloved, we are assured, by every
person around him. During his sojourn here (at
Ranger's lodgings, in the High-street), he has been
noticed by every official person in the Navy and
Garrison, who tendered their respectful courteous
sympathy to the Prince and his family. We under-
stand that his present intention is to take up his resi-
dence in the neighbourhood of London, there to wait
for opening events to return to his own country, of
which he entertains the most sanguine expectations..

The Spanish Ambassador, M. Count traflores, who
arrived here on Saturday night last, was followed on
Sunday morning by Mr. Under-Secretary Backhouse,
from the Foreign Office, who went on board the
Donegal, and had an interview of upwards of an hour
with Don Carlos. The purpose of this interview is
of course not known, but his Royal Highness subse-
quently said he hid bad splendid offers made to him,
but that he had conceded none of his rights, nor had
he compromised those of his children, nor would he,
and that he had accepted nothing. Mr. Backhouse
returned to town the same evening, with the Ambassa-
dor, who was not admitted to an interview with the
Prince, on the following morning. The Ambassador
was saluted with 13 guns both on entering and leaving
the garrison.—Hampshire Telegraph.

TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT ELEC-

TORS OF THE BOROUGH OF FINSBURY.
GENTLEMEN,
IHAVE this moment received a requisition so
numerously and respectably signed, inviting me to be-
come a CANDIDATE for the honour of representing you
in Parliament, that I consider it would be a dereliction of
my public duty were I to decline acceding to the request.
1 rejoice to find that my votes and conduct during three
successive Parliaments have gained me your approba..iou.
They were founded on the anxious desire to promote such
liberal and constitutional Improvements, both in Church
and -State, as the enlightened and improving condition of
society imperatively demand.
As I trust, gentlemen, you will afford me opportunities
of meeting vou previous to the day of nomination, when
I can have the honour of addressing you more fully upon
these subjects, I think it unnecessary to say more at pre-
sent than to assure you that, if invested with the high
distinction of representing yon, no exertion shall be want-
ing on my part to procure for all classes of My fellow-
countrymen, without reference to religious distinctions,
the full and free enjoyment of those blessings and privi-
leges which not only reason and justice dictate, but which
the British Constitution, impartially administered, is capa-
ble of affording. I intend having the honour of paying
my personal respects to every elector, as far as human
exertion will enable me. I trust, however, to the kind-
ness of those upon whom, from the shortness of the time
previous to the day of Election, I may not be able to call,
will attribute my absence to the impossibility of doing so,
and not to any want of respect on my part.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most
obedient and faithful servant,
T. S. DUNCOBIBE.

LONDON.
MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1834•

The amendment moved by Mr. MILES, in
the Commons on Saturday, relative to the-
bastardy clauses, and carried by a large majority,,
is a vast improvement on the Poor Laws'
Amendment Bill, and removes nearly all the
objections we have repeatedly urged against
them. The manner in which Lord AL THORP
acceded to the proposition, only gives him an addi-
tional claim on the esteem and gratitude of the
country, for though he could not concur entirely
in the principle on which it was founded, he would
not suffer his own individual opinion to be a
bar to what many, both in the house and out of
it, considered absolutely necessary. By this
amended clause the father and mother are placed
somewhat on an equal footing. Whenever the
mother and child shall become chargeable to
the parish, the parish 'can come upon
'the father for the maintenance of the child,
and the expense may be either paid weekly,
by attaching wages or other income, or
by a fixed sum levied by the justices out of
the estate of the father, who shall thereby
be discharged from any future payment for the
maintenance of such child. The simple oath
of the woman is not as formerly to be taken as
a proof of paternity, but the justices are to take
such other additional evidence as they may
deem necessary, and aLso give the putative
father the power of meeting the charge of
affiliation by witnesses. 'Fhe expenses in-
curred by the mother at the birth of the
child. are to be paid by the father, but
after that she is to Nave no interest in the
weekly payments, which are to be given wholly
for the use, and benefit, and relief of the parish
on which the child would become chargeable.
The father, on refusing to pay, if he has no
attachable property, to be imprisoned from six
weeks to three months. These conditions 'are
just and expedient. They destroy every:pros-
pect, on the part of the woman, of benefitting
by her immorality; and act; at the same time, as

a check on the man. It is to be observed, that
the father is not called on to support the child,
if the mother have the means ; and in that case,
she, or her parents, can have their action, as at
present, for seduction, or loss of services.
These alterations, on the whole, are judicious—
they abolish the chief absurdities of the old
system—they remedy the defects of the new,
and will meet, we are convinced, with general
approbation.

Accounts from Spain mention that the cholera
has broken out in that country, and occasioned
very general apprehension. An extract of a
letter, dated the 9th inst., . from Madrid,
contained in the French Papers of Friday,
talks of a great conspiracy having been
discovered by the QUEEN REGENT, the ob-
ject of which was the restoration of the Mi-
nisterial portfolios to Messrs. 'LEA, CRUZ, and
BURGOS. The diplomatic body, at least that
portion of it which is connected with the despo-
tic powers, are said to have taken an active
share in it.

Our contemporary the Herald has an article
this morning on the system pursuing by Minis-
ters, of which we defy the most shrewd and
practised reader to make any thing, except that
it is exceedingly solicitous to find fault with
Government, and does not know very well how
to set about it. It speaks with infinite pomp,
and a grave- shake of the head, of the expe-
diency of " little peddling views giving place to
an enlarged system ,of action,"• forgetful, appa-
rently, or, what is more probable, wantonly dis-
regardful, of the fact that the Poor Laws' Amend-
ment Bill, which has just passed through commit-
tee in the House of Commons, is a legislative
enactment of the most " enlarged" and com-
prehensive character, and calculated to be
attended with more substantial benefits to
the community than any that has been pro-
jected and carried into execution by the
Tories for the last half century. Again, our
contemporary laments that Ministers do not pay
sufficient warning to the signs of the times.
Really this is a most extraordinary charge to
bring against them, at the very moment too
when the Tory readers of the Herald, are find-
ing fault with Earl GREY for paying too much
deference to the " spirit of the age !" As
elderly gentlewomen are proverbially prone to
discontent, we suppose our venerable contem-
porary, pleading the privilege of her sex, is re-
solved to have her grumble out, be it with, or
without, the shadow of a foundation.

In the last article of the last number of the
Quarterly Review, it is asserted, as " an incon-
trovertible fact, that the universities have been
from the days of ALFRED to those of WIL-
LIAM IV. the exclusive seminaries of the esta-
blished religion." And further, that " the
universities themselves, and all the colleges,
have been founded on one great principle—
connexion with the religion of the state." But
is this really so ? and does a knowledge of the
arts and sciences constitute no part of the pur-
poses for which the universities or any of their
colleges were founded? Is no person that is
not of the religion of the. state to become a
Master of Arts, or to be entitled to a degree in.
law or medicine ; and is the knowledge of natu-
ral religion to be excluded from the course of
instruction ? Further, if a Scottish Presbyte-
rian, or an Irish Catholic, becomes a student at
Oxford or Cambridge, is he to be excluded from
all academical honours ? The assertion of the
reviewer assumes rather a startling position,
and coming as it should seem from authority,
it appears to us to render it absolutely neces-
sary that it should be ascertained for what pur-
poses the universities and their colleges were
really founded. Mr. MUNDELL has suggested,
in his last publication, that the heads of col-
leges should be ordered to make a re-
turn to Parliament of their several sta-
tutes, which will show the property granted
to them, and the purposes for which it
was granted ; but suggesting that . the return,
should also state the present annual income of
each college, and the matters taught, and
the manner of teaching them, in order that
the Legislature might have the means of
seeing how each of these foundations could be
rendered most instrumental in accomplishing
the purposes of their several foundations, the
great object of which he seemed to think was
for the purpose of enabling our youth, withmii
distinction, to acquire useful learning, and
receive wholesome instruction. But before the
country can give . the reviewer credit for his
assertion, or suffer him thus to make the foun
dations of these colleges the ground of
the exclusiveness for which he contends,
they must have before them the statutes
of their several foundations, so that they may
be enabled to form a judgment for themselves
in this respect.

All that relates to the marriages of sectaries
church-rates, tithes, the registering of births
and burials, or the granting of a charter to the
London Universities, or to pluralities or non-
residence, has nothing to do with the purposes
for which the Universities or their colleges.
were founded, though all these things are mixed
up by the reviewer in one common hotch-potch
of assumption, that it is. the intention of the
government and of the dissenters to whom it is
supposed to be subservient to destroy the esta-
blished church. Each and all of these things
rest upon their own merits, and though there
is no other connection between them, in so far
as regards marriages, church-rates, and the re-
gistering of births and burials, that► tha't they
have formed a ground of complaint amongst
dissenters, "who, the reviewer assumes, mean to
supersede the established church, yet he con-
founds them with pluralities and non-residence,
which concern not dissenters, nor even the

more than it does any other description of
persons in the state, unless, indeed, it were em-
powered to grant degrees to dissenters,which the
reviewer further assures us is the main purpose
for which that institution desires to have a
charter. But all'these things figure in the ap-
prehension .of the reviewer, and, we are afraid, in
the apprehension also of a great many well-
meaning members of the Established Church,
as being levelled at the established religion,
than which, as it appears to us, nothing can be
more gratuitous or unfounded. We think it re-
quires no more than what we have said to show
that one and all of them rest upon grounds
perfectly separate and distinct, but we confess
we are anxious that a return should be ordered
