LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 4, 1832.

His MAJESTY arrived in town this day, ac-
companied by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR. His
MAJESTY was accompanied by a party of the
14th Light Dragoons, and travelled in an open
carriage and four, preceded by out-riders. The
ICING afterwards held a Court and Levee, which
were numerously attended.

_ e have only space to direct attention to the
answer of Earl GREY to Lord LONDONDERRY,
respecting our foreign relations. The Belgian
question seems yet destined to be settled only
by recourse to arms. The King of HOLLAND
has all along played the game of Russia, and
still persists in the same policy.

Lord ALTHORP last night made a very im-
portant declaration with respect to the proceed-
ings of the Committee now sitting on the Bank
Charter. He entertained a sanguine expecta-
tion that the question would be set at rest
during the present Session ; but he con-
ceived it better to incur any inconveni-
ence that might arise from delay, than come
to a decision too hastily. We sincerely trust
that a question of such national importance will
not be decided by the present Parliament, but
be left to the wisdom of a reformed Legislature.
The matter is one that concerns the well-being
of the country, through all its diversified inte-
rests, and should be dealt with accordingly, with-
out favour or affection to any party whatever.
Let us have justice.

The plan that Government proposes to adopt
for educating the poorer classes in Ireland, is
one of so enlightened, conciliatory, and bene-
ficent a character, that nothing but the insanest
thalignity of faction can find fault with it. It
does not play idly round the surface, but strikes
to the root of the grievances that have so long
kept down the energies of the Sister-island.
Hitherto, Ireland has been torn in pieces be-
tween two factions. It has been crucified be-
tween Catholic and Protestant. All that was
generous, all that was redeeming in the national
character, has been
poisoned by the recollection
that one party was a tyrant and the other a
slave. Mr. STANLEY'S Bill proposes to seal
up this fountain of discord. It has for its ob-
ject, to reconcile the feuds between Catholic
and Protestant ; to raise the one to the level
of the other, allowing supremacy to neither ;
to inculcate juster notions of humanity ; to teach
Orangeman and Papist that they are natives of
the same soil, subjects of the same Government,
children of the same GOD, and that, conse-
quently, instead of avoiding and reviling, they
should learn to love, and live in good fellow-
ahip with, each other. 'I his plan, than which
nothing grander, more considerate, or more phi-
losophical, ever yet emanated from Government ;
Which proposes to itself the proud task of bring-
'hg the two extremes of Irish society together,
hY elevating both higher in the scale of hit-
Ilanity, has been met by the Episcopal Bench

—it ig with shame, sorrow, and disgust we
record the fact—in a spirit of the most rancorous
hostility. The question is one of universal
humanity ; they have turned it into one of party
spite and prejudice. It is one that concerns th
interests of religion, in the most exalted accepta-
tion of the term; they have treated it as one of
schism and bigotry. It is a question that ap-
peals to their justice as men, to their sympathies
as Christians, to their duties as Divines ; they
have considered it as one that perilled their plu-
ralities, infringed on their monopolies, and raised
the old war cry of the " Church in danger,"
against it. Yes, the Episcopal Bench has done
its utmost to narrow the ground and cripple the
character of a question which has Christianity for
its object and its defence.
In the House of Lords, last night, the Arch-
bishop of ARMAGH roundly asserted that a
petition from the General Assembly of the
Church of Scotland, in favour of the Govern-
ment system of education in Ireland, did not
speak the sentiments of the majority of Church-
men and Dissenters ; that it was one of the
many evil signs of the times; and was
at variance with the opinions of most of his
Right Reverend Brethren of that Bench, and
with those of eighteen of the Irish Bishops.
That the Irish Prelates dislike the question is
natural. We should be surprised were it other-
wise. They treat it, after the usual episcopal
fashion, not as a matter of humanity and reli-
gion, but as one of profit and loss ; not as it
regards the interests of Ireland, but as it ope-
rates on their own pockets. The Engli,h hier-
archy view it in the same light, well aware
that a measure which proposes to substi-
tute liberality of thought and sentiment
for ignorance and bigotry, in a country so closely
connected with us as Ireland, cannot but react
unfavourably on all that requires purification in
the Protestant Church at home.

It would have been surprising if the Bishop of
EXETER—who does not know Dr. PHILL -
POTTS, of epistolary and pamphleteering noto-
riety ?—had not been found foremost among
the ranks of the intolerants. There he stood,
the pride, the pillar of the episcopal bench, de-
nouncing the Irish education system as a " tremen-
dous symptom ofthe times," bu t forgetting that still
more " tremendous symptom" developed in the
circumstance of a Protestant Bishop ratting o❑
the most important religious question that ever
engaged the attention of Parliament, and re-
ceiving a mitre, (unaccompanied, alas, by a fat rec-
tory) as the price of his apostacy. But the excel-
lent Bishop, albeit he poured forth much spiri-
tual verbiage, took nothing by his motion. His
influence in the house of Lords is clearly in
the condition of ROWLAND STEPHENSON—
non est inventus. The LORD CHANCELLOR
estimated it exactly at its fitting worth, and still
more so Lord GREY, when he asserted in the
honest sincerity of his heart, that he heard the
Rev. Prelate's assertions with " disgust and
contempt !"
Disgust and contempt ! What pith—what
meaning—what heartiness in these two simple
words ! Yet appropriate as they confessedly
are, they roused the choler of my Lord SALIS-
BURY, who professed to be as much shocked
and astonished with them, as if a thunderbolt
had dropped close beside the woolsack, and flut-
tered the curls on the CHANCELLOR'S wig !
Fortunately on the Bishop they had no
such electrical effect. His bile was settled
in an instant ; his disordered nerves were subdued
to more than average placidity. Whether the
Rev. Prelate will again exhibit in the House of
Lords, is more than we can say ; most probably
he will retire for a season into the calm bosom
of domestic seclusion, and occupy his leisure
hours with a reperusal of his old pamphlets
varied occasionally by meditations on the cha-
racter and destiny of JUDAS ISCARIOT.

Brussels and Frankfort papers have been re-
ceived. The same uncertainty with respect
to the final settlement of the Belgian question
s ill prevails—while preparations are prosecuted
by both parties with an eye to hostilities. The
King of BAVARIA has appointed Prince NV REDE
as Commissioner to settle affairs in the Rhenish
Provinces ; but we doubt his success :----
ANTWERP. JUNE 29.--At this moment the citadel is
provided wi;h bac;;n, flour, rice, and spirituous liquors.
If we might form an opinion of the resolutions of the
Dutch Government, from these preparations, we should
believe that it means to resist the Conference, which ‘;ill
shortly employ measures of coercion against King wil
iiam. The laying in of such large supplies seems to pre-
sage some resistance on his side.

BRUSSELS, JUNE 30.—The tribunal of the first instance
at Brussels is to deliver, next week, its judgment between
the Minister of the Interior and M. Feuillet Duniers, re-
specting the printing of the Moniteur Beige.
Generals Desprez and Magnan arrived at Tongres on the
28th. The former proceeded to Liege. Gen. Magnan
will remain at Tongres some days. The Dutch advanc.d
on the 27th as far as Belsen, three leagues from Maestricht,
and carried off some cattle.
CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES,
SITTING OF JUNE 29.

The project of law for the organization of the Courts
of Justice was adopted, by a majority of 57 to 18. Three
Members declined voting.
The Chamber proceeded to the discussion of the pro-
posed vote of credit of five millions for the expense of the
formation of an army of reserve of 30,000 men.
M. Osy—We cannot longer blindly trust the Ministry,
we must know its acts not its words. Its silence is cal.
culated to make us fear that we have to prepare ourselves
for fresh sacrifices. The law which authorises it to ac-
cept the treats, of Nov. 15, points out the course it oti4 ht
to follow, and from which it cannot deviate. If the Mi-
nistry consents to the evacuation of the citadel of Antwerp,
as it is understood, it consents to unsettle several articles
of the treaty, which may have many fatal constquences for
this country. For if we leave it to the Conference to settle
these articles, instead-of regul sting the execution of them in
concert with Holland, we run the risk of losim; the important
pilot duties on the Scheldt, of paying four or 5,000,000 'sore,
and of making new concessions of territory in Limburg
and Luxemburg. I therefore ask whether the Ministry
has insisted on the execution of the treaty before the eva-
cuation of the citadel, or whether it has consented to re-
sume the negotiations atter the evacuation shall have taken
place ?
M. Osy said be had always regretted tlte resolution, but
as it was accomplished he wished to make it as useful as
possible to the country, whose independence was, he said,
imposs!ble without the full execution of the 24 articles.
He insisted on the communication of the last pi otocols, be-
cause he thought that Holland would annex conditions to
the evacuation of Antwerp, which will disarm France and
lead us insensibly to agree to change articles 0, 11, and
13 of the treaty. He feared a great deficiency in the
treasury.

The Minister of Finance said there would be no defi-
ciency it we were not obliged to pay the expenses of the
war establiihnient.

Gendebein had heard above two months ago, and
informed the Ministry of it, that it was likely the English

would %site possession of Antwerp. This would rot'y
a preparatory step to the long cherished scheme of the par.
tition of Belgium. The left bank of the Scheldt and
Antwerp would be given to the English, Liege to Prussia,
and the rest to France. This was projected in March,
1831. At that time there were means of opposing it,
but there would be none it the English were in possession
of Antwerp.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs would not deny that
some powers might at one time have conceived such pro-
jects, but he thought there was no ground for alarm on
this head, and that, in fact, such projects could not be
executed. He declared on his honour that he had never
heard of a project to take possession of the citadel
of Antwerp. In no negotiation or private conversation
was there ever heard any mention of giving it up except to
Belgium. He regretted that he had not in his possession
the papers asked for by M. Osy. He said the previous
evacuation of the citadel of Antwerp is feared ; the
Chamber may be persuaded that all farther arrangements
with Holland will be made by amicable negotiations be-
tween the parties, so that Belgium will always ha able to
require the execution of the treaty of November 15.
The Chamber then proceeded to vote ; 73 were in
favour of the law, and 4 against it.
M. Gendebein refrained from voting, because he was
not sufficiently informed of the state of affairs, and yet he
did not like to assume the responsibility of a refusal.—

SPIRES, JUNE 25.—We learn that Prince Wrede will
arrive in a few days in Rhenish Bavaria, as President of a
Commission of five Members

The let battalion of the 14th Regiment of the Line and
a squadron of the 6th regiment of Light Horse arrived
here the day before yesterday. At Gomersheim two whole
ri giments of Light Horse and twelve pieces of cannon ar
rived at the same time.

The rescript of the King of Bavaria, announcing the
appointment of Prince Wrede, as Commissioner in the
circle of the Rhine, says that hisiMijesty has named, with
the greatest sorrow, the interruption of legal order in the
circles of the Rhine, as he has always had it at heart to
promote the welfare of the inhabitants, in spite of the oh-
sticks which the circumstances of the times have opposed
to his paternal intent•ons. His Majesty is far fiom im-
puting to the inhabitants, in general, the errors of a part,
led away by evil minded persons; that it is his duty to
employ all the power of the laws against a stale of
things equally dangerous to the most important
interests of the state, to the foreign relations of Bavaria,
and to the safety of persons and property. For this rea-
son, his Majesty sends Prince Wrede with full powers, and
with a sufficient military force at his disposal, to insure
the execution of the measures which he may take for the
maintenance of the laws. His Majesty hopes that the
measures of the Commissioner will be respected, and order
speedily restored ; at the same time promising that every
grievance which shall be represented to him i❑ the legal
m inner shall be investigated and remedied. Should his
Majesty's hopes be disappointed, those who disobey will
have to attribute to themselves the result which the
law has clearly pointed out; but the application of
which his Majesty would consiler as one of the most
melancholy occurrences of his reign.—Frankfort Pa-
pers, June 2S.

SIR WALTER SCOTT.—The answer to in-
quiries this morning was that Sir WALTER had passed a
tolerably good night and appeared something better than
ye,terday. He continues perfectly sensible and his appe•
cite is as well as can be expected.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE OF A WO-•
MAN of FasinoN.—We are requested to state, that this
Work is published this day, by Messrs. COLBURN and
BENTLEY, New Bin lington-street ; and may be had of all
Bo k'ellers in Town and Country. Agents for Scotland,
Messrs. BELL and BRADFLTTR, E linburgh ; and for Ire-
Lind, Mr. JOHN CUMMING, Dublin.

A LA CINDERELLA.—A very pretty tooth
was found in the pit of the King's Theatre. The young man
who has found it offers to marry the lady to whom this
tooth may belong—provided ate his twenty or thirty
thousand pounds for her fortune.—The Parrot.

Lord AMESBURY'S lamented demise, which
occurred on S iturday, adds another name to the short list of
victims in the higher walks of life, from that fell disease,
the cholera morbus. The attack, from the commence-
ment, was of the most violent and alarming character . and
no withstanding the prompt assistance of the most emi-
nent medic tl men, tne spasms could not I,e controlled,
and the amiable Lord, who was in his 81st year, rapidly
sunk. Dr,. BRODIE and WARDROP pronounced the dis-
order, from the first, to he the real Asiatic cholera, and
attributed the melancholy termination to the advanced pe-
riod of life and previously debilitated constitution of the
Noble sufferer.

Dr. BEDALE, the celebrated swimmer, who
it will be remembered swam from Runcorn to Liverpool
in three hours and a half, at the rate of six miles per hour,
at-lived in London this day, and:intends to-morrow, and for
a few days, to display his peculiar method of swimming
and floating for the amusement of his friends, in the
river Thames. The Doctor intends starting to-morrow
afternoon between three and four o'clock from Somerset
House.

A POOR WOMAN DELIVERED IN THE
BLACK-HOLE.—We last week stated the tact—a fact as it
now stands that covers the parish with disgrace—that a
poor Irishwoman was on Tuesday week delivered of a child
in the black-hole, after lying for some time in the pains of
parturition exposed to the inquisitive gaze of an as•embled
crowd. In alluding to the fact we expressed a hope that
some inquiry would be made. We regret to say that no
steps have ben taken to satisfy the public mind.—
Brighton Guardian.

The Paper on the last Unreformed House of
Gammons in the present number of the New Monthly
Magazine, edited by Mr. BtJLWER, will he read at this
interesting peri,,d of the national affiirs, with strong feel-
ings of attention. It goes into a succinct review of the
services rendered to the country by the existing body of
ppular representatives, under the trying circumstances
thr ugh which we have Just p issed, and further illustrates
the character of that H.,w,e, by reference to one of its most
popular Members, Mr. O'CONNELL, of whose style of Par-
lidm ntary spe ling (which does not appear to have been
hitherto described it furnishes an animated sketch.

The Bishop of EXETER received last night
a severe, but a very just castigation at the hinds of Lord
GREY. The contempt and disgust of the latter may be
taken, in the mat er referred to, as but a feeble expression
of general opinion; hut what a situation for a Bishop to
place himself in ! Contempt and disgust indeed ! When
the friends of the Church consi,fer themselves just,fied in
speaking of its heads after this fashion, we humbly opine
that Reform is not far distant—that tithes and pluralities
are in danger—and that it is high time for the lawn sleeved
gentry " to set their houses in order."—Morning Adver.

Yesterday there was a numerous attendance of
the creditors, together with the assignees of Messrs.
DucRETT, MoRLAND, and BERNARD, at the Mart, in the
city, caused by the yule of the property of Sir F. B. Molt-
LAND, Bart. The freehold mansion of the Baronet at
Lee, in Kent, erected within the last few years, at very
considerable expense, with pleasure-grounds, green and
summer-houses, stables, budding, and grounds, in all
about seven acres, was knocked down by Mr. SIMPSON,
for 3,9501. The freehold estates at Wandsworth, Peck-
ham, and Hammersmith, comprising a cotton printing

acres of freehold land, produced in six lots, 5,7101. Much
interest was excited by the sale. buildings, and

CHOLERA.—WC regret to learn that the
cholera has been raging with great violence in the neigh-
bourhood of Alloa. In the town itself there have been
only two deaths, hut in the adjoining coalworks the
disease has been extremely fatal ;—about fifty deaths
have occurred, first and last, in those of Messrs. BALD ;
a great number also in those belonging to the Earl of
MANSFIELD; and the mortality has been considerable
among the labourers at the Devon Iron Works. Persons
of intemperate habits have been the principal sufferers in a
marked degree—several instances having occurred of a
number of deaths following close after a convivial meeting,
in which the parties had drunk to excess. The Devon
Iron Works Company have done every thing in their
power ; but, so far as we have beard, the Earl of MANS-
FIELD, one of the richest noblemen in Britain, h is not con-
tributed a shilling beyond the assessment levied.—Scotsman.

mom' or CHANCERY CMS DAY)

SHUTTING OF THE ACCOUNTANT-GENERALS OFFICES.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL obtained the usual order.
upon a petition, for closing the Accountant-General's
Offices from the 25th of August next till the first Seal
before Michaelmas Term, and the consequential directions
thereon.

VICE CHANCERY COURT (THIS DAY.)

His Honour the VICE CHANCELLOR was occupied the
whole morning with the part-heard case of Smith and
Biggs. In the course of the day the Earl of Falmouth
and Mr. Banks appeared in Court for the purpose of be-
ing appointed guardians to the Baroness de Spencer, a
young lady, apparently ahout twidve years of age.

ROLLS COURT._-(THIS DAY.)

MORT V. JEFFERY.

The arguments were resumed to-day in this part-heard
case, in which the assignees of a bankrupt bad cut dow❑
timber, which was alleged to he ornamental, on an estate
called Haymans Hill, in the county of Kent. The case had
not been concluded when our reporter left.

BUSINESS OF THE COURT.

His Horrotta will proceed with the causes, further
directions. and exceptions as they now stand on the book,
until Wednesday the 18th. On Thursday the 19th, and
following day, his Honour will take further directions and
exceptions only until they are disposed of, and he will
then take causes until the last seal.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

ASSIGNEES OF JOHNSON AND OTHERS V• WELCH.

The ATTORNEY- GENERAL stated this to be an action
brought by the assignees of AlessTs. Johnson, Brooks, and
Co., lamp-manufacturers, lately carrying on business in
New-street-square, to recover the sum of 951. 10s. for
work and labour done for the defendant. The defendant
was Mr. Thomas Welch, the well-known musical compo-
ser, and proprietor of the late Argyll-rooms, which it will
be recollected were unfortunately destroyed by fire some
few years ago. The amount sought to be recovered was
for supplying chandeliers, candelabras, &c. for the ochestra
of that establishment.

The case was not concluded when our reporter left.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

HAYNES V. POSTER AND ANOTHER.

This was an action of trover to recover a large sum of
money, the value of seven hills of exchange, alleged to
have come into the hands of the defendants by a fraudu-
lent preference given to them by Wood and Poole, bill
brokers, previous to their bankruptcy.
The facts of the case are nearly similar to those so fre-
quently before the public in last term, in the case of
Beestora and Co. v. the same defendants. The bills were
deposited with Wood and Poole for discount, who had
been in the habit of pledging bills with the defendants,
getting advances upon them. They (Wood and Poole)
stopped payment in November, 1830, on a Tuesday. on
which day they gave Foster upwards of 70 bills, amount-
ing in value to more than 6,000/., upon which was ad-
vanced only 3,0001., the surplus going as security for a
former debt. Wood and Poole stopped payment on the
same afternoon. Bridges and Beeston, at the former trial,
recovered their bills, but during last Term a new trial
was moved for and granted. The evidence produced to-
day was the same as on the farmer trial, but was not
concluded when we went to press.
Counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. WILLIAMS and Mr.
SHER ; for the defendant, Sergeants WILDE and COLE-
RIDGE, and Mr RICHARDS.

COURT OF REVIEW.-(THIS DAY).

EX-PARTE BATTEN IN RE GUNDRY, A BANKRUPT.-EX••

PARTE GRYLLS IN RE GUNDRY.

The facts of the case were these :—On Gundry be-
coming a bankrupt, a certain mine, which formed part of
his estate, was divided into shares amongst the gentlemen
of his neighbourhood,—not with a view to profit, but to
prevent the workmen being thrown upo❑ the parish. The
Duke of Leeds, being owner of a large part of the parish,
took three of the shares, hut held them in the name
of Grylls, who was solicitor to the bankrupt and
assignee to the estate. Afterwards, being desirous of
parting with them, Grylls himself bought them. The
question, under these circumstances, was, whether Grylls
himself could claim the shares for himself, or was to be
considered as a trustee of the estate. The matter went
before the Lord Chancellor, wl,o referred it to the Master.
The Master reported that all the transactions :Itere bona
fide, and that Grylls was not to be considered as a trustee.
The first petition on the list never took exception to the
Master's report, whilst the second prayed that the report
might he confirmed.

The COURT, after hearing Counsel on the two petitions
which were heard together for several days, this morning
decided that no assignee could purchase for himself and
riends, and that therefore Grylls was to be considered as
trustee only.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY AGAINST
MRS. NEWTON OTHERWISE MISS BAGSTER.

(THIS DAY.)

A Commission of Lunacy assembled yesterday to try the
stare of mind of Mrs. NEWTON, otherwise Mi.s BacsrEn.
After much evidence had been heard, the Court adjourned
over to this day.
