LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 18, 1835.

It gives us pleasure to learn that Lieutenan
DRUNIMOND has been appointed Under-Secretary for
Ireland. He is an able, indefatigable man of busi-
ness, as he showed during the progress of the Reform
Bill, by his various statistical researches, on which
some of the more important details of that great mea-
sure were founded ; and as his political principles are
also sound and moderate, we can conceive no one
better qualified to strengthen the influence of con-
stitutional Government in Ireland. The situa-
tion of Under-Secretary, in that country, is no sine.
cure. It requires incessant vigilance, and an
unflinch-
ing spirit of determination, combined a tem-
perate and conciliatory nature ; and t/..ese are qua-
lifications which Lieutenant Diti:„moND is well
known to possess. He is not ':l,, man to fall asleep
over his duties, or Lord II,TIIORP would never have
appointed him to fill I;.e honourable office of private
Secretary to his I L,.ordship. We look on his present ap-
pointment a, a great boon to Ireland—as another con-
vincing., proof that Ministers arc fully in earnest in
then[ tudeavours to ameliorate the condition of that
ilistracted country. We understand that Lieutenant
DRUAINIOND sets out this day for Ireland. His ar-
rival will, of course, " create a sensation " among the
old Tory hacks of the Castle, some of whom are still
to be seen, with mournful looks and tottering frames,
crawling about the scenes of their departed glory.

A petition was presented to the House of Commons
last night by Mr. T. DUNCOMBE from the Rev. Mr.
DUPRE, Master of the Free Grammar School at
Berkhamstead, complaining of the wicked and false
aspersions which had been thrown upon his character)

in a petition lately presented by Lord GRIMSTON.
The charges brought against Mr. DUPRE were cer-
tainly of a very serious nature, and subjected him at
the time to severe animadversion from the public press,
as well as from men cf all parties in the House of
Commons. We must ourselves plead guilty to a share
of the condemnation bestowed upon the Reverend
Gentleman in the belief that the assertions in the first
petition were true, and we therefore most readily em-
brace the first opportunity offered us of laying before
the public his contradiction of them.

The Rev. Gentleman states in his petition that he
resided constantly at Berkhamstead from 1805 to 1815 ;
that instead of his being sole trustee and misapplying
the funds of the Charity, there was a receiver appointed
by the Court of Chancery, who had the entire manage-
ment of the funds ; that the Commissioners of ChaTi-
ties had visited the school, and found no fault with the
management of the Charity ; that he had violated no
agreement, as had been stated, with a gentleman iu the
neighbourhood ; that if he had educated no boys the
fault was not his, as no boys had been brought to him
for education ; that his salary during the 21 years he had
been master of the school, never exceeded 2501. in any one
year ; that the law expenses (2,7721.) to which the
Charity had been put were not imputable to him; as he
had been the defendant in every case, and never had
been called upon to pay costs ; and finally, that there
are visitors appointed to superintend the school, whose
duty it is to report whatever may be wrong.

We regret that from the hcur of the evening at
which they were delivered, we were unable to give any
account of the sentiments spoken by Mr. HUTT, last
night, in presenting a petition from the Hull Danish
claimants. As the subject is of deep interest to some
hundreds of individuals who suffered so severely by the
retributive acts of the Danes for the unjustifiable at-
tack on Copenhagen, the seizure of the Danish fleet,
and of private property in this country, too much
praise cannot be given to Mr. HUTT for the exertions
he is making in behalf of the sufferers, which we trust
will be crowned with success ; as it would be the
height of injustice to grant compensation to the book
debt claimants, and to exclude the shipping cases, which
really present the greatest grievance. 'We trust that
Mr. HUTT will give early notice of a motion for
bringing this subject more fully before the House.

The Corporation Reform Bill finished its course a
second time through the Committee last night, and
was ordered to be read a third time on Monday next.
A multitude of amendments and provisos were sug-
gested by various Members, all of which were rejected
with the exception of one proposed by Sir W.
FOLLETT, for extending the time for being admitted
on the roll of burgesses, in the case of persons out
of the realm, to the 25th October, 1836 ; and
another by Mr. WASON, that determined enemy of
corruption, by which all the laws relating to bribery at
elections for Membees to serve in Parliament are to be
applied to elections under this Act.
Sir Jt Y. BULLER moved a clause, which, whether
we consider its twaddling prolixity or its senseless bi-
gotry, we will venture to say the silliest old woman
in the kingdom would have been ashamed to propose.
The object of this clause was to prevent Dissenters
from interfering in any Ecclesiastical matters, with
which borough Councils might have to deal. The
Hon. Gentleman was for having a Committee ap-
pointed by every Town Council for the management
of all such matters ; from sitting on which Dissenters
were to be excluded ; and which was not to be respon-
sible for its acts to the Council. He proposed, more-
over, that this Committee should elect a chairman; that
the majority should have more influence than the
minority, and that when there was an equality of votes,
the chairman should have the casting vote, with many
other et ceteras equally novel and ingenious, for which
we must refer the curious among our readers to the
debate.

The Moniteur of Thursday, which we have re-
ceived, together with the other Paris Papers of the
same date, contains the copy of a telegraphic despatch,
announcing the arrival of a second battalion of 250
British auxiliaries at St. Sebastian on the 13th inst.
We have likewise an account of the arrest of seven
Dutch officers of rank who were proceeding to join
Don CARLOS, and of the capture and execution of
the Marquis DE LA TORRE, who was sent by Don,
CARLOS from Navarre to effect a movement of the
Carlists in Catalonia.

The French Journals state that Don CARLOS had
not quitted Marguria on the 7th. CORDOVA, Es-
PARTERO, L A TRE, and GURREA had, in fact, quitted
Bilboa on be sth, at the head of four battalions. It
is believed that they have followed the line of opera-
tions which must cause them to approach Vittoria and
tae Ebro, to prevent the Carlists from passing that
way, if they should take it into their heads to attempt
to advance into Castile. A garrison of 4,500 men,
besides the Urbans, is left in Bilboa. It was reported
on the Bourse, that the French Government had re-
ceived the following telegraphic despatch:--
« CORDOVA has given battle to the Carlists ; the
action was sanguinary, and both parties claim the
victory."

It is affirmed that the action took place at Orozco :
it is difficult to believe that the two armies can have
met any where except in the road between Vittoria and
Bilboa.

A letter from Bayonne, dated the 11th, received in
Paris, confirms the report of the death of General
VA LDEZ. It is stated that he was killed in a ren-
counter between two skirmishing parties. The report
requires further confirmation.

Private intelligence, received from Vienna this morn-
ing, confirms a report previously spread abroad, to the
effect that the Emperor FERDINAND was about to
secede from the Holy Alliance. The fact was not
stated in these terms, but the language employed con-
veyed the idea in a way equally intelligible. Notwith-
standing that FERDINAND on his accession announced
his determination to tread in the footsteps of the late
Emperor FRANCIS, it was universally known that he
disapproved of the confederative policy of the Great
Northern Powers. During the life-time of his
august Father his opinions on this subject were
often expressed, but as they did not meet with the
approbation of the reigning Sovereign, his advice wos
seldom sought, and his absence from the Itnpethl
Council-board occasioned no surprise, and gave rise to
no displeasure. The harmony which subsisted among
all the members of the Imperial family was 4river once

in danger of being disturbed by any difference in poli-
tical opinion. With them the duties of relationship
were always paramount to those which each owed to
society in a political point of view'. Between the late
and the present Emperor the most cordial and reciprocal
feelings of paternal love and filial reverence subsisted,
Rather than hazard the coldness of his ithgust Parent
by openly pursuing a line of policy of which FRANCIS
disapproved, FErtDINAND retired into private life, and
was only drawn from his studied seclusion on the occa-
tiion of his being crowned King of HuNGA al-, in 1830.
From that period he necessarily took a more active
part in the affairs of the Empire, but always with the
greatest deference to the opinions of Prince METTER-
NICH and the other members of the Imperial Council.
FERDINAND'S accession afforded him the first op-
portunity of adopting his own political views, without
incurring the displeasure of any one to whom the laws of
GOD and nature bound hitn to yield obedience. His first
act was to direct his attention to Switzerland, then all but
within the jaws of the Holy Alliance. He saw that
the object of the German Princes was to find some
plausible excuse for crushing her liberties, and destroy-
ing her independence—some pretext that might be
pleaded as a justification at the Courts of London and
Paris—and he immediately took measures for pre-
venting the perpetration of such an outrage on man-
kind. METTERNICH was enjoined to effect an ami-
cable adjustment of all differences between the Im-
perial Court and the Confederated Cantons ;
but, in order that this might not appear a
departure from the policy of the late Emperor, FER-
DINAND permitted certain demands to be made which
he knew would be complied with, intimating at _the
same time, to save appearances, that .a compliance Nyith
such demands would at any time have secured the
friendship of Austria. By this wise and humane pro-
ceeding the EMPEROR prevented a rupture with Swit-
zerland, which might have given rise to a general war
throughout Europe.

This measure has been followed by another still more
important. FERn INA ND has signified his determination'
neither to be personally present, nor to be represented at
the great Review of the Northern Powers at Kalisch.
In vain have couriers been dispatched to him from
Berlin and St. Petersburgh with the most pressing in-
vitations—in vain has Russia pleaded the policy of
displaying the power of the Imperial and Royal Con-
federates, in order to overawe the more liberal Govern-
ments of Western Europe—in vain has Prussia rung
the glories of his august Father in his ears, and even
included Switzerland in the list of the invited
States. The EMPEROR excuses himself, on
the plea of a necessity of attending to the
internal affairs of Austria ; and he refuses to send
the complement of troops, alleging that they can-
not be spared without endangering the security of the
Empire. The King of PRUSSIA has done all in his
power to obviate these objections by offering to reduce
the thirty thousand troops first demanded to six thou-
sand cavalry, and to change the place of consulta-
tion from Kalisch to Toplitz, should FERDI-
NAND prefer the latter as the more convenient
place for holding the meditated Congress of Sove-
reigns. But all will not do ; and the other Great
Powers are now sensible that their policy will not find
a champion in the Monarch of AUSTRIA.

The importance of this event can only be under-
stood by those who are aware, that although one of
the objects of the Northern Powers was to make a
display of physical force, the principal design of Rus-
sia and Prussia was to concoct a scheme for dis-
solving the Quadruple Alliance—to take measures
for effectually preventing the resuscitation of the
liberties and nationality of Poland—to overthrow
the new Constitutions in Spain and Portugal—and,
by sowing the seeds of national jealousy between
France and England, to enable NICIIOLAS to pursue
a system of policy in the East which would make him
master of Constantinople. This Russia knows to be
impracticable without the cordial concurrence and co-
operation of Austria ; and we have no doubt but that
the secession of that Power will lead to the frustration
of the whole scheme. FERDINAND abhors the devas-
tating policy of NICHOLAS. His object is to govern
his subjects on the principles of a paternal despotism--
a despotism to which they shall yield implicit obe-
diene;,,, from a conviction that it aims only at the pro-
motion of their own security and happiness. With
regard to the Quadruple Treaty, the EMPEROR has
intimated that he will not join in any scheme either '
for its fulfilment or revocation. He does not hold
himself responsible for the political acts of England,
France, Portugal, and Spain.

Washington Papers to the 18th, and Philadelphia
Papers to the 19th ult., have been received this
morning

" The Philadelphia Papers contain further information from
Mexico, stating that, on the 11th of May, in the morning,
Santa Anna attacked, in several directions, with a force of
3,400 men, the position of Don Garcia, the revolutionary
Chief, who was at the head of 5,000 men, with a large train
of artillery. After an obstinately-contested battle, which lasted
two hours, Santa Anna gained a signal victory, killing and
wounding hundreds, and taking 2,700 prisoners. The loss on
his side was 100, killed and wounded.

" He states in his official report that the field of battle
offered a frightful and heartrending spectacle. He has com-
pletely dismayed the hopes of the enemies of the present
Government. Their cannon, small arms, and ammunition,
are all in the power of Santa Anna. The battle took place on
the plains of Gaudaloupe, near Zacatecas : in the latter place
Santa Anna has his head-quartcrs.
The Washington papers contain the official report of the
attack on Quallah Battoo, in Sumatra, by Lieutenant Irvine
Shubrack."

The Times of yesterday morning asserted that Lord
J. RUSSELL packed the Committee on the Yarmouth

There is no truth in the report of the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON'S visit to Windsor, which appeared in the Morn-
ing Chronicle of yesterday.

German and Brussels papers have been received,
bringing advices of no importance from various parts of
Italy. The following article from a Frankfort Journal
of the 11th inst., comprises all that is interesting in
these papers. It will be found worthy of attention :

The Munich Political Journal has a long article on the con-
sequences that will result from the intended junction of the
Danube and the Rhine.

Austria, with the co-operation of the Porte, of Prince Mi-
losch, and the Pachas of Widdin and Orsowa, is actively en-
' gaged in perfecting the navigation of the Danube by steam-
boats from Vienna to the Black Sea, and thence to
Constantinople. If the plan, originating with Eng-
land, for a direct communication with India, by way of
Egypt, should be realized, which cannot be doubted,
we may imagine, without indulging in too sanguine hopes,
what commertiial advantages the German Union may expect
from a junction of the Danube with the Maine and Rhine,
according to the project of the Roman Emperors, and sub-
sequently of Charlemagne. King Louis has warmly taken
up this important project, and given his sanction to it, the
estates of Bavaria having most readily contributed to promote
this gigantic undertaking. No political event can or will in-
terrupt it-s execution. This canal will be highly serviceable,
as well -;.n war as in peace. Germany, considered as a centre,
would, by the junction of three of its largest rivers, the Danube,
the Waine, and the Maine, become also the centre of a com-
ercial route, from the Atlantic to the Euxine, and serve also
as a market, and alto for the transit of the produce of Eng-
llnt, ', France, Holland, Belgium, as well as of Austria, Hungary,
Give ce, the Levant, Egypt, and Persia. The projected iron
railro .ds through the States of the Union will of course be
aitva).; directed to the navigable rivers, and along them for
vat„,..me and light goods, while all heavy articles which will

not bear a high freight wilt continue to be sent by the canals
and rivers.

A dreadful accident occurred to May Day nearly at the termina-
tion of the heat. The horses having passed the distance-post.at a
rattling pace, May Day made a tremendous effort to give Chantilly,
who appeared to be winning easily, the " go-by ;" the jockey
flogged her severely, and when she had arrived within twenty yards
from the winning-post, she unfortunately slipped, and after two or
three plunges broke the pastern-joint of the near fore leg. The
jockey threw himself off, and luckily for himself escaped unhurt.
The accident originated solely in consequence of the mare being
badly shod, and the slippery state of the course—the plates in which
she ought to have run having been changed in the morning for the
ordinary travelling shoes.
