LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1832.

His MAJESTY will arrive in town to-morrow
from Windsor, and will hold a Levee at two
o'clock, at St. James's Palace.

The Duke of WELLINGTON'S motives for
opposing the Irish Reform Bill will attract at-
tention from their transcendant absurdity. I [is
Grace is averse to the measure for the very rea-
sons that every other thinking man would be in
its favour. "In his opinion it might have been
exceedingly expedient to amend the representa-
tion of England and even of Scotland, without
touching that of Ireland." Now even the most
moderate Liberal allows, we believe, that the state
of the Irish representation is as corrupt as can
be, yet here we have the Duke of WELLING-
TON opposing all amendment on the score of
this very acknowledgment. At least we know
of no other reason that his Grace can possibly
assign. Not an argument in favour of Reform
that applies to England and Scotland, but ap-
plies with tenfold force to Ireland. Yet this is
the very reason why his Grace will have nothing
to do with her regeneration. Argument and
common sense, he cannot but perceive,
though it may not be convenient to allow the
fact, are both against him ; and as he holds both
in supreme contempt, he is resolved to set their
claims at defiance. It is odd what a horror
great Generals have of being supposed to be
under the influence of common sense. We verily
believe that if such a suspicion were ever to be
attached to the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, it
would drive that illustrious warrior distracted.
The Duke of WELLINGTON has a notorious
disrelish of argument, unless it happen to chime
in with his own view of a question. In this re-
spect he did himself no more than justice when
he talked, some years since, of his possible in-
sanity. Lord PLUNKET replied to his Grace's
objections in a way that he clearly did not relish.
However, it is highly expedient—to adopt one
of the Duke's pet terms—that no/ens miens a
great man should hear the truth sometimes. It
is not often that that strange voice rings in the
ears of the illustrious. The Bill was read a se-
cond time, and ordered to be committed on
Thursday next.

The vote for a grant of 37,500/. in support of
the new system of Education in Ireland, was, af-
ter a long discussion, carried last night by a great
majority. The discussion was equally unin-
teresting with those which have preceded it on
the same subject ; and differed from them only
in the altered tone of argument assumed by the
opponents of the measure. The great subject of
complaint formerly was the mutilation of the
Scriptures. That argument, however, being found
no longer tenable, they now have recourse to the
most paltry and miserable quibbles about particular
versions of the Bible, and the proper interpreta-
tion of certain passages. One of the objections
of the Hon. Member for the nomination borough
of Dundalk is worth the dark ages. He objects
to the new system, because in one of the school-
books it was asserted in a note that it was the
Virgin MARY who was to " crush the Serpent's
head." This is quite in keeping with a
placard exhibited on a pole in New Palace-
yard, announcing for sale a work pretending
to prove that the Commissioners for Educa-
tion in Ireland sanction the worship of the
Virgin MARY. We will not go so far as to

say that the Hon. Member is the author of
this penny production, or that the placard-
bearer is paid by him ; but certainly there is a
wondrous similarity between his arguments and
the purport of the publication. The opposition
to this measure is all of a piece, and instead of
benefiting true religion, causes it the greatest in-
jury. Not only the infidel, but the man who
is well inclined to Protestantism, will form
no favourable idea of it when he finds
the champions of the cause have recours-! to per-
version of facts and to means of ex it-tnent
which would be regarded as disgraceful, even at
an electioneering contest. It is a circumstance
worthy of remark, that of the seventeen who
voted against the measure last night, all, with
the exception of Lord SANDON, arc the avowed
enemies of Reform, and hostile to almost every
measure introduced by Government. Colonel
SIBTHORP, Lord ENCOMBE, Mr. GORDON,
the PERCIVALS, and the LEFROYS, are
the chief opponents of a system which
was more calculated than any other to con-
ciliate the two parties, but whose beneficial
effects hare been much diminished, at all events,
delayed, by the vile, political, and bigoted feel-
ing excited by the Ultra-Orange faction. Sir
ROBERT PEEL, voted against Ministers last
night, without having, either on that occasion or
at any former period, ventured to state his rea•
sons for such a course.

The statement of Lord HOWICK relative to
the payment of the clergy of Canada, will be
hailed with satisfaction by all who wish to see
our colonies pay the expenses of their own Go-
vernment. A sum of 27,5001. was voted for
the support, as Mr. HUME said, of a small sect,
not one-twentieth part of the population ; and an
objection being made to it, an assurance was
given, that on the death or removal of the pre-
sent occupants, the salaries would not be conti-
nued to their successors. The church system in
these colonies is nearly as absurd as that in Ire-
land. Canada was originally peopled from
France, and the great majority of the inhabitants
are Roman Catholics ; yet the Government per-
sisted in keeping up a Protestant establishment,
without the least hope of making converts, and
serving no purpose but to make Protestantism
despicable in the eyes of the people, by exhibit-
ing the anomalies of a parish church without
hearers, and parsons receiving a large salary for
doing nothing.

In the absence of further information from
Don PEDRO'S expedition, it will be interesting
to the public to learn every particular that can
be collected in regard to the operations of the
contending parties. By the French mail this
morning, we have received the following inte-
resting account :

" The news of the landing of Don PEDRO
was received on the 15th inst. at Guetaria, a
small port near St. Sebastian, by a vessel
which left Villa de Conde on the 12th inst., at
night ; and, according to accounts received by
the authorities of Villa de Conde, after au
engagement between the troops of Don PEDRO
and those of Don MIGUEL, the latter retreated
on Pemposta, forcing the inhabitants of the
country round them to leave their homes, and
destroy all the provisions they could not carry off.
"On the 12th the authorities had already
learned that most of the population of the pro-
vince of Entre Duero and Minho had pro-
claimed Donna MARIA the 2d, although the
military and civil authorities tried to prevent
them. A great number of monks, priests, as
well as the civil authorities, with other indivi-
duals in the pay of Don MIGuEr,, retreated into
Spain on the side of Galicia ; and it was ex-
pected that the Captain-General of Spain of that
province would immediately assemble his forces
on the Turg, and establish a cordon of observa-
tion on the right of the Minho.

" News had also been received at Villa de
Conde, that the insurrection in favour of Donna
MARIA was extending with rapidity in the pro-
vince of Trasos Montes, as well as to the pro-
vince of Beira.

" When the troops of Don MIGUEL aban-
doned Oporto, their plan was to take a position
on the right of the Dolga, and to concert mea-
sures with the Commandant of the provinces of
Trasos Montes and Beira; but this project of
uniting the forces of the three provinces to act
against Don PEDRO could not be executed."

The Gentlemen who belonged to the late
Victualling Office have conferred a very flattering
mark of regard and esteem upon Mr. CLIFTON,
the late Secretary of that Department, whose
appointment expired on the abolition of the
Victualling Board. They have presented him with
a most elegant and superb Silver Vase, sur-
mounted by his Crest, and having his Arms
emblazoned on one side, and the following
inscription engraved on the other :
" Presented to MARSHALL WALLER
CLIFroN, Esq. Secretary to the late Victualling
Board, as a mark, however inadequate, of the
esteem and regard of his friends in that De-
partment, and in testimony of the sense they
must ever entertain of his uniform kindness and
attention during the period he so ably conducted
the important duties of that office.
June 11, 1832.

RYE, JULY 23.—The Hop Plantations of
this neighbourhood are in a very thriving state, but the ac-
counts we get generally frotn Kent, with the exception of
Tenterden and Cranbrook, are of a very unpromising cha-
racter.

COVENT GARDEN I.'IIEATRE.--LAPORTE
had a good house last night, and again on Saturday night.
Les Jeux de l' Amour et du Hazard, with the new ballet
La Resemblance, must have returned a most satisfactory
account to his bourse. The first is a petite comedic,
founded on incidents bearing some resemblance to the
courtship of Rosetta and the gardener in Love in a
tape. Mademoiselle MARS performs the part of the lady,
we need not say, in the most captivating manner. The
under-plot of the servants (Mademoiselle ST. ANOE and
LAPORTE), who each dream of winning rank and fortune,
15 very humourous and laughable, particularly on the part
of LAPORTE and on the arrival of the denouement. The
only fault we should find with this piece is, that it is a
1 itttle too much drawn out. The ballet La Resemblance,
is,in its few dramatic incidents, the prettiest we have seen
TAGLIONI in.

A wag, probably a sufferer, being asked what
sign " tte fishmonger" should give to his shop were lie to
convert itinto a tavern, replied " The Fleece."

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

JUDGMENT....-RODERTS V. KNOWLES AND OTHERS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that in this case,
which stood for judgment this morning, and in which it
could he recollected an ex carte injunction was obtained
by the plaintiff to restrain the defendants from infringing
his patent for an invention of making machines for spinning
cotton, on the further consideration which he had been
able to give to it, his doubt upon the plaintiff's right had
become considerably lessened ; nevertheless, it still ap-
peared to him to be a fit case to be tried, therefore he
should continue the injunction, and direct the plaintiff to
proceed to a trial of his right at law. He was inclined to
Ity the plaintiff under the terms of proceeding to trial at
these assizes for the county of Lancaster (it being a Man-
chester case), but it had occurred to him, that although
the plaintiff might be ready, yet that the defendants might
not be prepared to go to trial so soon, and should they
find they could not be prepared within that time, by giv-
ing notice to the plaintiff a week before the trial could
come on, then the trial should stand over far the present.
The SOLICITOR -GENERA L, on behalf of the defendants,
said, that although it was a great object with his clients
to have the trial as speedily as possible, yet he did not
conceive it would be possible for them to get prepared for
trial in two or three weeks; therefore, at once, be under-
took to say they could not go to trial so soon.

The Loan CHANCELLOIi. then observed, that as that
was so, and as the principal scientific witnesses who
mould have to be examined resided in London, he would
direct that the case should be tried either in the Court of
Exchequer or in the Court of Common Pleas in Middle-
sex, and as speedily as the business in such Court would
permit it to come on.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

CONTEMPT.-ARCHER V. WISE.

Mr. CHtsw, applied this morning !o the Court for the
discharge, or less rigorous confinement, of a gentleman
named Green, who had been declared by the Master the
purchaser of certain property at the sum of 5,9001.,
which, though ordered, be had not paid into Court. The
property in question, which was held in trust for the be-
nfit of infants, and had been put up to sale by order of
the Court, being contiguous to Mr. Green's property, be
felt anxious to obtain it, and employed An agent for that
purpose, who purchased it for him at the above sum.
Mr. Green not possessing sufficient funds to meet this
demand, endeavoured to raise 6,0001. by mortgage on both
properties, but failed in doing so, in consequence of the dif-
ficulty in making a good title to port of the property he
had purchased. Mr. Green then offered to give all the
security in his power for the payment of the money; the
parties would not consent to the adoption of such a course,
and obtained an order, calling upon him to pay the pur-
chase money into Court, in default of which Mr. Green
was committed to the Fleet, where he now remained in
close custody. Mr. Green stated that his non-compliance
with the order of the Court arose not from any contu-
macy on his part, but from an utter inability to raise the
money—that the confinement he was now undergoing
would not only be prejudicial to his health, he being ad-
vanced in life, but would entirely prevent him from selling
the estate for the purpose of paying off this purchase money.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said he should be most happy
if be could grant the application ; but if he did so, he did
not see what security the Court would have for the pay-
ment of the money.
Mr. BARBER, who appeared on behalf of the trustees,
observed that his clients were not desirous that the gentle-
man should continue in prison, provided the Court, con-
sistently with the security of the infanta and the trustees,
could release hint. It was now three years since the
purchase took place. If Mr. Green would go in before
the Master, and tender such security as he could approve,
there could be no objection, but the Learned Counsel did
not see how the Court could release him in the first
instance.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR considered that all he could
do was to refer it to the Master. to see whether Mr.
Green could give any and what adequate security, and
whether it would be for the benefit of the parties to ac•
cept it.

Mr. CiriNG observed that if such was the opinion of
the Court, he must take the order, whatever inconveni-
ence his client might experience by being longer incar-
cerated.

ASSIZES-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

WORCESTER, ilfoxpay, JULY 23.

On Saturday the 21st instant, the Commission was
opened with the usual formalities. Yesterday (Sunday)
the Judges, Mr. Justice BOSANQUET, and Mr. Baron
GURNEY, accompanied by JOSEPH JOHN MARTIN, Esq.
High Sheriff, attended divine service at the Cathedral,
and this morning the proceedings in the two Courts
commenced.

The Grand Jury having been sworn in, the Learned
JUDGE delivered his charge to them.

There is a list of twenty-two prisoners for trial, amongst
them are core charged with murder, one with highway
robbery, one with manslaughter, and oue charged with
attempting the lives of three persons by poison. There is
also a charge of forgery.

Thomas King was indicted for feloniously and bur-
glariously entering with others the dwelling-house of
Richard Gibbs, and stealing from thence some silver tea-
spoons, food, and articles of clothing. The prosecutor
and his man on the night of the robbery beard a noise,
and going down stairs they missed the property, and on
proceeding out of doors saw some men running away, and
afterwards part of the property was found in a field near
the premises, and a shoe belonging to the prisoner was
also found o❑ the premises.
The defence on the part of the prisoner was, that he
was not possessed of his full intellects, and witnesses were
calkl to support it. _

The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Learned
Judge sentenced him to transportation for life.

Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyds' at Con-
stantinople, dated June 25 .
" No fresh acts of piracy, of any great importance,
have recently occurred ; and as the French and English
Admirals have arranged convoys to sail from Smyrna twice
a month, it is hoped the trade may he considered as suffi-
ciently protected."

Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyds', at
Smyrna, dated June 19 :—" Official notice has been given
that a convoy to all flags will be given from this, west-
ward, touching at Syra, twice a month, namely, on the.
sth by an English, and on the 20th by a French man of
war. The Russians it is expected will give convoy from
Milo, through the Arches to Syra, and from thence to
Smyrna and the Dardanelles, but the days are not yet
fixed. A small vessel under the Maltese flag arrived yes-
terday, having left Napoli de Romania, in ballast, a few
days previously ; when off Andros she was boarded by a
Greek mystic, with upwards of forty men on board, and
the captain and passengers plundered of their money,
clothes, and effects. The Maltese captain reports the
mystic to be the same that left Napoli the day previous to
his sailing, and one that was sent by the Greek authorities
to look after pirates.

EARLY flAuvEsT.---On Tuesday last, the
17th inst., part of a field of barley belonging to Mr. TI-10
s DAVIDSON, at Swinton Bridge End, was cut down
perfectly ripe. This is almost unprecedented in this neigh-
bourhood, but it must not be taken as a rule for the com-
mencement of any thing like general harvest. Here aed
there a few patches of corn will speedily ripen, but it will
be several weeks ere the sickle be in much request.--

GENERAL CE%IETARY COMPANY.
(Tills DAY.)

The first general meeting of the proprietors of this
Company, since its incorporation by Act of Parliament,
was held this thy at Exeter Hall, to receive the report of
the Provisional Committee, and to appoint a general Com-
mittee for the ensuing year.
At one o'clock Viscount Ingestrie took the chair. His
Lordship said that great delay had occurred in conse-
quence of the many difficulties the Committee had had to
encounter in getting the Act of Parliament. It had,
however, at last received the Royal assent, awl
Ole present meeting was called in order to receive
the resignation of the Provisional Committee, a report of
whose labours would be read, and to appoint another
Committee.

The SECRETARY read the report, which entered at
length into the obstacles which had impeded the progress
of the Bill in Parliament. A claim, advocated very
strongly by the Bishop of London, had been made by the
Clergy of the parishes within the bills of mortality for
compensation for the loss of fees upon the burial of bodies
which would be taken out of those parishes and interred in
the Cemetery, and at length a clause was inserted, com-
pelling the Company to pay a fee to the clergyman of
each parish from which a body may be brought
to the Cemetery for interment of 2s. 6d. if the body be
placed in a brick grave, and Is. 6d. if it he buried in the
open ground. The purchase of the land at Kelsall. green,
had been completed for 9,400/. and the draining and the
erection of a handsome boundary wall, were in the course
of execution. During the alarm respecting► the cholera,
Government had contracted with the committee to pur-
chase seven acres of the land for the purpose of burying
those who died of cholera ; but when the alarm subsided,
Government declined completing the purchase. Much
difficulty had also been experienced, in endeavour-
ing to prevent the Birmingham Rail-road Com-
pany from cutting their line through the Ceme-
tery Company's land ; but, as that Bill bad been
thrown out in the Lords, that difficulty was overcome.
The formation of a plantation ou the land had already
commenced, but was at present suspended. The whole
amount of the subscriptions was 36,7251., of which
22,1931. had been already paid up.
The CHAIRMAN said the Bishop of London had objected
to its being made compulsory on him to consecrate the
ground, but that objection was got over by the insertion of a
clause to pay the fees named in the report to the clergy
of the metropolitan parishes, in addition to which an ad-
ditional 2s. 6,1. upon each body taken from Marylebone
was to be paid to the rector of that parish, whose sole in-
come was derived from burial fees. The Noble Chairman
added, that the Committee felt themselves bound to consent
to those claim-, for they saw that if they did not, they
would lose the Bill for the present session, and would have
to go to the expense of coadnencing anew next session.
The business was proceeding when our reporter left.

SCOTCH ELECTIONS.

(From the Scotsman.)

REPRESENTATION OF EDINBURGIL-The canvass for
the Lord Advocate and Mr. Abercroinby goes on pros-
perously. From many of the Wards no returns have yet
been made ; but from those which have been canvassed
the returns are highly favourable. The Tories have been
canvassing for Mr. Forbes Hunter Blair, whose address,
with the requisition which preceded it, will be found in
our first page. No other conservative candidate is to be
produced ; and we have been assured that the thick and
thin Tories will give their second votes to Mr. Aytoun, so
that some of our radical friends will find themselves in
strange company ! Of Mr. Blair's qualifications we need
scarcely say one word. He is a person of honour and in-
tegrity, and much respected in private life ; and this is all
that can be sail of him even by his friends, for as a public
man he is completely unknown. So far as regards the ac-
complishments and powers of a Senator, it would be ludi.
crous to bring him into comparison for one moment with
Mr. Jeffrey or Mr. Abercromby ! He is brought for-
ward, in fact, simply and purely on the ground of his con-
servative principle, of which he makes no secret in Es
address.

STIRLINGSHIRE.-Admiral Fleming's address to the
electors of Stirling will be found in another column. It
speaks the language of a frank, manly, honest Reformer.

. - - _
PERTHSHIRE.-Lord Ormelie has finished his canvas
in Perthshire, and his admirable address in our first page
will be read with delight by every friend to liberty in
Scotland. We understand that his friends speak of his
prospects in the most sanguine terms, though his oppo-
nents have resorted to very illegitimate expedients to defeat
his efforts.

AYR BURGHS. —Our paper to-day contains, among
others, an electoral address from one of the staunchest and
most enlightened friends of Reform in Scotland, we mean
Mr. Kennedy. There are net many Scots Members who
can say, like him, that his " public life has been devoted
zealous!y and sincerely to advance the real interests of the
people," and that " though elected under the close system,
he did represent the opinions of those" who considered that
system a grievance, and who have now independent votes
to bestow.
_ _

William Forbes, Esq., of Callendar, intends to offer
himself as a candidate for the representation of the county
of Stirling.

CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT.
