FALMOUTH, OCT. I.—Donna MARIA's
schooner of war, Graciosa, Lieut. FILDEN, has arrived here,
with the Portuguese brig Caroline, from the Brazils, as a
prize Lieut. FILDEN captured her on the 19th ult., off
Villa Conde ; she is laden with sugar, and of about 200
tons burden. The Commander reports that one of PEDRO'S
ships has gone to the eastward, also with a Portuguese prize.
His Majesty's ship Nautilus has brought
letters from Oporto of the 26th ult. For several days
preceding there bad been no regular attack on the
town on the part of MiGuEes troops, and the can-
nonading, except by an occasional shot or two, had
wholly ceased. They, however, retained possession of
Villa Nova. The cause of thus abstaining from further
attack was understood to be the want of proper balls for
the cannon, which were too small, and consequently did
little execution. They were expecting a supply daily,
when they proposed, according to the best information
which had reached Oporto, to renew their attacks on the
town. In the mean time the delay had been productive
of great advantages on the side of the Constitutionalists.
The Britomart, which arrived on the 23d, had brought
out a most seasonable supply of ammunition and warlike
stores.

LIE COUNT PEYRONNET.—The Quo! i-
dienne states that on the 23d ult. the Count de PEYRON-
NET was suddenly seized with pains of such extreme vio-
lence, that in a few minutes they paralysed all his limbs,
and probably would have been fatal, if he had hippened to
be alone, as he is accustomed. Two days after the Count
had another attack, less dangerous, but of longer duration
than the former. He is now out of danger. These suf-
ferings are attributed to rheumatism, to which he was for-
merly subject, and which has returned with greater violence
since he has sojourned at Ham. Lieutenant-Colonel DEL-
FIRE, the Commander of Ham, did every thing in his power
to afford timely and efficient medical assistance to his
prisoner.

A meeting of the friends and admirers of Sir

CANVASSING IN TlME.—Early yesterday
morning, Mr. F. WEGENER, the Vestry Clerk of St.
John, Wapping, who has filled the office nearly twenty
years, died, after a long illness, and in less than eight
hours afterwards there were no less than six candidates
in the field, canvassing for the vacant situation, and in
the afternoon a seventh was added to the list. The office
is worth 2501. a year.
The Leipsic Gazette of the 25th ult, states
that CHARLES X. has chosen the Castle of the ancient
Dukes of STYRIA, chiefly because the country abounds in

future residence by Saxony and Bohemia.

The Mayor of Monmouth has declined call-
ing a meeting of the inhabitants to consider of the best
means of celebrating the triumph of Reform. The fact has
been of great service to the liberal candidate, Mr. HALL.
REPLY OF THE BISPOP OF DURHAM TO
THE MEMORIAL OF THE CLERGY ON CHURCH REFORM.
-The Bishop of Duititam has replied to the clergy who
incinorializA him on the subject of Church Reform. The
reply is addressed to the Rev. JOHN SANDFORD, vicar of
Chillingham, and his Lordship corn inences—" As you have
taken upon yourself to be the medium of communication
to me from a cert sin portion of my clergy in Northum-
berland, it becomes necessary that I should address to you
a few lines on the subject." His Lordship expresses his
regret that any portion of his clergy should think it expe-
dient to agitate questions and bring forward propositions
during the present excitement respecting the Church, far
snore likely to embarrass its friends and encourage its op-
ponents than produce any substantial benefit. He then
informs them that an ecclesiastical commission is now in
operation, to examine the revenues and other circum-
stances of the Church, and he says it might have been
expected they would have seen the propriety of suspending
their judgment till the result of such investigation was
made known. He considers that no accurate knowledge
of the matter can be obtained without reference to such
information.— Tyne Mercury.
CREDITORS OF THE LATE DUKE OF YORK.

- - -----
-The usual weekly meeting of the creditors of the late
Duke of YORK was held yesterday at the Thatched House
Tavern, St. James's-street. It did not appear that any
fresh fact had been elicited since the last meeting; but
several additional communications have been received on
the subject of claims on the estate of his Royal Highness,
some of which appear to be characterised by extreme hard-
ship. The committee will again meet on Wednesday
nett, and continue their exertions, without intermission,
until the commencement of term, when more decided
operations will take place.
The several members of the Conference have
had, within the last few days, a considerable and impor-
tant subject to augment their diplomatic labours, without
any reference to the existing difficulties upon the Dutch
and Belgian question. Since the receipt of important de-
spatches from Madrid, M 'Lea 13ERMUDEZ, the Spanish
Minister, whose diplomatic functions have, fur some time
past, been almost in a state of abeyance, has been in daily
and almost hourly communication, not only with Lord
PALMERSTON, but with the other members of the Con-

ference. This renewed activity on the part of the Spanish
Minister is said to be caused by his Excellency's Govern-
ment having demanded, through his medium, the senti-
ments of the Great European Powers with regard to the
future succession to the Spanish Crown upon the demise
of FERDINAND VII., which is viewed in these despatches
as almost certain of immediately taking place. It is
adled that the Spanish Government has demanded a

categorical answer, as to whether the above Powers would
recognise the sovereignty of Don CARLOS, which it is dis-
tinctly hinted is likely to be assumed, to the prejudice of
the young Princess, MARIA LOUISE ISABELLA. Upon
the subject the Conference sat i❑ deliberation until a lat'
hour on Tuesday moaning, and before eight o'clock the
same day summonses were issued for another meeting,
which was held in the afternoon. A difference of opinion
is said to have arisen with more than one representative
of the foreign Powers upon this delicate question. The
British Government, with that of France, it is added, have
openly expressed their determination to adhere to the same
policy which has regulated their proceedings with respect
to Portugal. Prussia and another Power (or rather their
representatives) take a contrary view of the question.
Despatches were subsequently forwarded to Berlin and
Madrid, to which much importance is attached. Yester-
day was a dies non with the members of the Conference,
as the first time fur some days past, without a meeting
being held.

'the stint subscribed for SOMERVILLE, the
dragoon, amounted altogether to 3301., of which 2601.
have been paid into his bands.

We have to record a most distressing acci-
dent, attended with loss of life, which occurred in the vi-
cinity of this place on Saturday evening last. As Mr.
SCHRODER, a gentleman who had for years been in the
habit of visiting Brighton, and had been recently staying
with his family on the Marine Parade, was returning from
town by the Comet coach, on arriving at Patcham the
coachman wished to make some slight alteration in the
reins. Mr. SCHRODER, who occupied the box, offered to
alight and perform this office ; and though the coachman
begged him to keep his seat until the coach had stopped,
the unfortunate gentlennau instantaneously proceeded to
alight, and, missing the step, fell, and was precipitated
under the fore-wheel, which passed completely up one
side of his body from the knee to the shoulder. He was
promptly raised from the ground; but the injuries in
fl.cted were of a mortal nature. Ile never spoke more,
and expired within half an hour from the occurrence of
the accident. No blame is attributed to the coachman ;
the mournful catastrophe was occasioned solely by the
anxiety of the deceased to afford assistance.—Brighton
