Sir JAMES CAMPBELL, of Ardkinglas (for-
merly Major CALLANDER), whose Memoirs are just now
attracting so much attention, was grandfather to the Bon.
Mrs. NORTON and Lady St. MAUR. It is a singular fact,
that, within about a twelvemonth, three generations of the
same family should have sent forth works from the same
press ; " The Memoirs of Sir James," " Carwell," the
novel of his daughter, Mrs. SHERIDAN, and " The Un-
dying One," the last poem of his grandaughttr, Mrs.
NORTON.

CREATION OF PEERS.—The following ex-
hibits the increase which has been made to the House of
Peers since 1790, at which period Mr. PITT sent four
Barons to the House of Lords. In 1792 he sent one ; in
1793 he sent one ; in 1794 five; in 1796 eight; in 1797
eight; in 1799 one; 1800 two--total, in eleven year•,
30. In 1801 and 1802 Lord SIDMOUTH created eleven.
In 1806 the late Duke of PORTLAND created eleven.—
Between 1806 and 1820 the creations were more sparing.
they amounted only to 15, of which five were military,
and one the Speaker (Lord COLCHESTER.) In 1821
Lord LivEaroot, created 14 in one d,iy, all political Peen.
In 1823 there was one; in 1824 there were two;
1826, in one day, nine creations by the same Minister
CANNING sent up five Barons in 1827. The Duke of
WELLINGTON has created nine since. The creations hy
the present Ministry are 29. It will be seen from th
statement that there have been in the course of the last 41)
years no fewer than 135 creations of Barons, not includ•
ing higher titles, the whole House of Peers amounting
to only 370, and that only 36 of these have been created
by the Whigs.

IMPORTANT TO MAR INERS.-A new system
of telegraphing by night is about to be adopted in his
MAJESTY'S navy, which, from simplicity, and efficacy,
will, it is believed, at once supersede the complicated and
ineffective method now in u'e in the service, and vessel,'
at sea will be enabled to communicate with each other at
night, with even greater facility than they can now by
day. The inventor is a Mr. WEST, formerly of the navy,
the same gentleman who was the means of saving the liver,
a few years since, of several individuals at Deal.

BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

(RECEIVED THIS MORNING.)

BRUSSELS, MAY s.—The day before yesterday the
King gave private audiences to General Desprtz, General
Baron Evain, and Sir R. Adair. His Majesty after-
wards transacted business with Messrs. Caghen and Murle-
naere, Ministers of Finance and Foreign Affairs. Co:onel
Krezewski, of the Polish cavalry, has just entered the ser-
vice of Belgium with the same rank. It is affirmed that other
Polish officers will shortly be received into the ranks of the
army. It even seems that a Polish offieer, who has lately
been appointed Lieut.-Colonel on the staff of the atmy, is
intrust, d with a mission to Paris, the object of which is
to recommend his countrymen to the Alinhcer of war.
The 200 pontoons of copper which the Government has
had made in France are expected to-day at Bcussels.
A letter from Arlon informs us (the Independent) that
General Dumsulin h id caused the brigade of Custom-house
officers at Hesperange to be carried off by a squadron of
cavalry. Before committing this act of violence he sent
a superior officer to the spot to inquire if the brigade was
armed. The officer found five carbines at the s'atioa,
and demanded that they should be immediately sent b-yond
the line of the territory of the fortress ; but before the Cut-
tom-house office' could make his report the carbines and
the men were seized and carried into the fortress. They
were released a few hours afterwards. General Chasse
has within these few days commenced the construction of
some new works on the bastion situated to the north of
the citadel of Antwerp.—Brussels Papers, May 6.

HEIDELBERG, APRIL 2b.—We have hitherto been
purposely silent with respect to a lying article, dated
Brunswick, April 13, stated to be from a Polish officer of
high rank, which appeared in the Freisinnige, of the 20th
April, imagining that its monstrous improbability
would defeat its object. It is stated in this letter that
Thrive 83,b00 Poles have been ordered to Siberia, and
already t►ken to that ceuntry —that they are deprived of
heir names, and designated by numbers only—that they have
been compelled to form second marriages with prostitutes,
and that their first and lawful wises have been distributed
among the Russian soldiers. In the Russian Journals we
find the most exact statements of the number and quality
of the Poles banished to Siberia, with the causes of their
banishment. Some of the exiles are curtain y tepanted
from their families ; but the latter, for the most p.rt,
receive support at home. As for compulsive second mar-
riages, r r giv,ng the wives to Ruasian soldiers, such a thing
is nut to be thought of. In Russia nobody is compelled
to marry at any time, and the Russians would naturally
prefer unmarried Russian girls to old Polish women—the
Government would, therefore, do no favour. to the army
by such a present: It is equally false that the Govern-
ment marries the exiles to prostitutes. With respect
to the numbering of the prisoners, the fact is correct s
this is for the sake of regularity, they being all entered
on a list which contains their names. Every prisoner
is at liberty to ad ipt a new nano., which in the original
list is added to his real name. This latter, however, is
not made known to the comman.ler of the escort, who has
only the numbers with the newly adopted tame. This
is, therefore, a measure of considerate delicacy in the
Russian Government, not to huts and disgrace the fami-
lies of the unfortunate exiles. Every one on returning
from his exile is at liberty to resume his real name. Such
is the explanation of the article alluded to, which was
dictated not by ignorance of the mode of proceeding in
Russia, but by studied virulence against Russia, in the
consciousness that prejudiced minds can be easily main-
tained in this manner, in hatred to Russia and sympathy
with her enemies. —Manheitn Gazette.

SPIRES, APRIL 29.—The Journal of this cilee con-
tains the following notice from the local Government :--

"In the name, &c. In No. 82 of the Spires Gazette
,12. re is a warning, intimating that the system of employ—
ing spies and infornhrs is to be introduced in the circle of
the Rhine. This statement is hereby positively and
officially contradicted. This will suffice to relieve the
inhabitants of the circle from any such apprehensions.
" The undersigned is, however, obliged to the Spires
Gazette for giving him an opportunity openly to certify
to the public the honourable and strictly legal intentions
of the Bavarian Government. With this view he publishes
the following passage from the confidential circular ad-
dressed on the 20th instant, to the Commissioner• General
of the kingdom, by the Prince of Octtingen Wallerstein,
Minister of the Interior, and leaves it to the public to ap—
preciate the contents of the object of the warning alluded
to :---

Extract, &c.—" The Government of Bavaria will never
suffer a system of secret information and inquisitorial
police to be introduced in our fine country. But it is the
business of the Ministry and the Magistrates vigilantly to
watch all intrigues that threaten danger to public order,
and whenever any attempt of this kind is discovered, to
counteract, it l y public and honourable interference,
and by the strict application of the laws.

RE FORM.

(From the Times City article.)

The vote of last night in the House of Lords may
literally be said to have unhinged the whole system of
business in the city, whether in reference to the funds,
to banking, to commercial affairs, or to any kind of
transactions between one Englishman and another, or be-
tween the English merchant and the foreiener. We have
met with no individual sifted with the habit of reflection
on p opting events, who could say that he stands in the
same position as he did yesterday, before this vote was re-
corded. This is the feeling of course with respect to the
danger which may be said to hang over the country (until
our merchants and capitalists are quite sure the alts rna-
tive will be resorted to) of a dissolution of the Ministry,
the loss of the Reform Bill, and a Tory Administration,
the concomitants of which would be, to quote the senti-
ments of a very large majority, war on the continent and
revolution at home. This is a predicament in which the
leading members of the commercial world will feel them-

fit by such a change, was as conspicuous as the despon-
dency of those who Itment the comecpiences to the country
at large. There are no political qui stio is en which it so
immediately bears as those affecting Holland and Portu-
gal. It was perfectly obvious that Dutchmen already an-
ticipate the abandonment of the treaty, an unmolested
invasion of Belgium, and the re-annexation of that
country to Holland; while the Miguelites could as little
conceal that they considered the Latent a death-blow to
the expedition of Don Pedro. The advocates of arbitrary
principles, and of crusades against liberal opinions on the
continent, evinced equal gratification. Of the clnsequen-
ces to the country if the threatened danger shall really fall
on it, men entertain different notions, suited to their re-
spective views, but nearly all foresee that the crisis will be
terrible. Steps are taking on all sides to convene meet-
ings, and prepare addresses to the K;ng and to the House
of Commons suited to the emergency, and the full action
of them is only suspended until it has seen if new Peers
are created, or the Ministers tender their resignation. We
need not repeat the various rumours circulat-d to-day re-
lative to the course which Lord Grey intends to pursue,
as a few hours must now place that beyond all doubt;
nut the eagerness with which every statement, however
vague, was caught at and repeated. proved in a degree
more striking than we have ever known it on any similar
occasion, what an intense interest and anxiety this unex-
pected stop in the proceedings has created. It would be
imagined, perhaps, at a distance, that sufficient warnings
have been given to the commercial world to prevent this
shock from taking them by surprise, but the case was far
otherwise. The most sagacious were, it seams, wholly
unaware of and unprepared for danger. One consolation,
however, they possess, and it has been reiterated to-day in
all quarters—that the evil of uncertainty, which has been
so long impending, will at length be removed ; that the
safety of the R-form Bill will be secured, or the country
he fairly committed in the struggle to obtain that or
something better from the Government.

The Lords of the Treasury, on the applica-
tion of Mr. ROBERT PRESTON and others, have just issued
