With but few exceptions, the Country Jour-
nals—and we have perused some dozens of
theth this day—are all strenuously advoca-
ting the creation of new Peers, as the
most fitting mode of commencing the
public business of the new year. All, too,
seem nearly equally hopeless of the success
of the Reform Bill, unless such creation
is promptly resorted to. We hope the Mi-
nisters will see the necessity of setting the country
at ease upon this subject ; it is really one of pa-
ramount importance, and beside which all others
sink into comparative insignificance. As
for conciliation, Government may be the
gentlest of the gentle, the meekest of the meek,
towards their malignant adversaries the Ultras,
yet gain nothing but contempt and ridicule for
their pains. The Anti-Reformers must be awed
into submission.

The utter abolition of the French Hereditary
Peerage (though the measure, as passed, by
o►nitting the condition added to the category by
he Chamber of Deputies, as well as in other
respects, is inconsistent and unprincipled) is an
event perhaps the most important that has signa-
hzed the course of the year that has passed. It

To our own country, at this especial crisis, the
spectacle of the dissolution of the Hereditary
Nobility of France is the more interesting,
because, through the machinat ions of borough-
mongers and stock-jobbers, our own Nobility has
been reduced to the possession of a very equivocal
share of the public esteem. Not that there is
any diminution of the general respect for those
noble families whose blood has for centuries been
identified with all that adorns the history of the
country, and who continue to shew that they re-
verence the rights of the people, by whom they,
on their side, are likewise reverenced ; but it is
useless to mince the fact that the late vote of the
House of Lords has called forth a multitude of
vague expressions of dislike of and disrespect
for an institution which has thus taken upon
itself to frustrate the national wishes. This
has happened too, in a country " fond to
a weakness," as Mr. Fox expressed it,
" of its Aristocracy," and whose middling
classes are less disposed for changes of doubtful
benefit than those of any other country in the
world. The English character is, as it has
always been, slow to countenance new opinions,
either i❑ politics or any thing else ; it has noto•
riously a fear of new theories ; a horror of meta-
physical speculations ; and an extreme reluc-
tance, above all things, to sanction any constitu-
tional change, of whose absolute necessity it
is not convinced. With such national feelings,
the idea of a revolutionary spirit being abroad,
seeking change merely for its own sake, is an
inconsistency that must strike any one accus-
tomed to reflect on such matters; and, from
similar considerations, it follows as a natural
inference that to attribute to the English people
a levelling desire to abolish aristocracy, argues
an inadvertence to the true character of the
nation. When so large a portion of high birth,
rank, and property, are united in supporting
a measure for which the people are crying out,
it would be most inconsistent on thwart of the
people to seek to rid themselves of their best
and most powerful friends, and the middle
classes are too sagacious not to discern their
friends from their enemies. The audience of the
Rotunda may cry " No Peers," as they used to
cry " No Popery," but we utterly deny that
there is, as yet, any feeling among the influential
or respectable classes of society, to bring the
second branch of the Legislature to an end, or
to touch its hereditary character or privileges.
If then, at the opening of the year 1832,
the national feeling towards the British Peerage
be so indulgent as we have described it, how la-
mentable must be the folly and wickedness of
those who would have the Peers a second time
offend the patience and long suffering of the
nation ? With what bitterness would the future
historian record that the intrigues of jobbing
boroughmongers had brought into jeopardy the
existence of the ancient British nobility, had de-
stroyed the ancient security of British property,
and had been the means of substituting mob-law
and anarchy, for the long-established Govern-
ment of King, Lords, and Commons P We say
that Aristocracy is for the Bill—that property is
for the Bill—that learning and science are for
the Bill—that the mass of the people is for the
Bill--that the SOVEREIGN is for the Bill
and we are answered—the Bill is revolutionary,
and our masters, the boroughmongers, cannot
permit it to pass

German Papers received this mo rning:—

°THE HAGUE, DEC. 29.—The Second Chamber of the
States-General, in its sittings of the 28th and 29th, con-
tinued the debate on the project of law relative to the
land-tax, which was adopted by a majority of 33 to IS'
and sent to the First Chamber, from which a message was
received, announcing its assent to the project of law fixing
the budget of the ordinary expences for 1832.
DEC. 30.—T0-day the Second Chamb-r commenced
the discussion of the ways and means for providing for the
expenditure of 1832.
His Majesty, by a resolution of the 13th instant, has
ordered an additional battalion of artillery to be formed at
Naorden. It may be raised to eight companies, but for
the present only six are to be raised.
The treacherous conduct of the Belgian Major Du Bosch,
at Fort St. Philip, has given rise to a very angry corre-
spondence between General Chass, Governor of the cita-
del, and Colonel Bagen, Military Governor of the city, in
which the Baron declares, that as the proceedings of the Bel-
gian officers of engineers on the dike near Fort St. Philip
seem to indicate an intention of erecting some military
works there, the Baron Chasse shall consider all works
of that description on the banks of the Scheldt, directed
against his communications or the stations of the naval
force, as acts of hostility which he will resist. General
Chasm adds, that he thought it. proper to inform the Colo-
nel of the effect which this might have on the navigation
of the Belgians on the Scheldt, and also to remind him to
what such proceedings might expose the city of Antwerp,
being garrisoned by Belgian troops.

CRACOW, Nov. 1 I.—Prince Van Mohrenheim has been
here for sonic days, on the part of Russia, to regulate the
affairs of our little State. What the fate of this republic
will be is still uncertain, but every one p-rceives that a
new organization is necessary, the revolution in Poland
having completely unhinged the whole machinery of

BUCHAREST, DEC. I.—Letters from Constantinople,
of the 17th of November, state that news had been
brought by a ship, which had arrived in two days from
Syra, that the Greek National Assembly had b:en con-
voked, and that the blockade of the Island of Hydra by
the ships of the Allied Powers had been raised.
ST. PETERSFICII.GII, DEC. Imperial Hightlee
the Grand Duke Michael arrived in this capital yesterday
evening.

Letters from Archangel say that the cholera had wholly
ceased in that part.
The value of the goods exposed for sale at the late fair
at Nishncy Novogorod was nearly 130,000,000 of rubles,
including nearly 94,000,000 of Russian goods, 11,500,000
of Chinese, 14,000,000 of European and Colonial,
bOO,OOO of Busharian, nearly 2,000,000 of Persian, and
900,000 of Armenian, besides horses and cattle to the
value of 750,000 rubles. The total sold was to the value
of above 980,000,000.

The Petersburgh Journals announce numerous promo-
.ions,

POLISH FRONTIERS, DEC. 19.-The Polish troops
who sought protection in Prussia, and are included in the
Imperial Amnesty, have began for some time their march
homewards. They are formed into detachments, con-
ducted to the frontiers, and there given up to the Russian
Commissioners. This was done to-day with the let and
2d detachments on the Polish frontier, near Strasburg,
where Colonel Van Seddeler, as the Russian Commis-
sioner, received them. These detachments consist of 736
and 849 men. Their march had been conducted with
order and tranquillity, and the delivering up took
place in the same manner. They were drawn up
in a line, and received by Colonel Van Seddeler with
a salutation which they returned by most hearty
expressions of gratitude; they were then drawn up in a
circle round him, and the classes of persons excluded
from the amnesty again distinctly pointed out to them,
and those who felt themselves implicated in any of them
were informed that they were at liberty to remain where
they were. :None such, however, were found among them ;
on the contrary, they expressed their gratitude to the
Emperor by loud acclamations, and joyfully crossed the
frontier ; they were then again drawn up and.the men
sent to their respective provinces. No Russian troops,
except ten Cossacks, were present, and the returning
Poles found themselves treated with 93 much forbearance
and kindness, that they now congratulated themselves
on having confided in the promise of a free return to their
families. They have every reason for this, for they are
well treated, dismissed with means to support them till they
reach their homes, and most of the old soldiers, who can-
❑ot maintain themselves, will he incorporated with the
companies of veterans. The remaining detachments will
follow in a few days.
BERLIN, Dr.c. 26.—Yesterday and to-day there have
been no new cases of cholera, and no deaths, but one re-
covery, so that we have now four patients remaining.

On Tuesday last died, by his own hand, at
Chipping Warden, near Banbury, the Rev. Joini LAME,
D.D., formerly fellow of Queen's College, Oxford, and
rector of Chipping Warden and of Charwelton, in the
county of Northampton. The doctor died at an advanced
age, having been for a long period curate and vicar of
Banbury, which vicarage he resigned, on his institution
to the rectory of Chipping Warden, the 4th of
November, 1815, on the presentation of FRANCIS, Earl
of Guilford. He used to remark, in an affectionate man-
❑er, among his old parishioners of Banbury, that he thought
he had baptised about half of them ; and he always noticed
in a particular manner the poor old people whom he re-
membered. Latterly he appeared to be in a very strange and
sometimes desponding way. On Tuesday morning last lie
was called by (we believe) a young relative, who received
no answer. Shortly afterwards he was again called by
the same individual, who found his door fastened. The
doctor replied, desiring him to go down stairs, adding
"and Goo bless you." The report of a pistol was almost
immediately heard; this was about nine. On forcing the
door, about which there was some little delay, he was
found upon the bed and expiring. The pistol bore the
appearance of having been overcharged. The ball entered
below his breast, on the left side, and passed out near his
shoulder, perforating many times a blanket which was
folded on the bed. An inquest was held on Wednesday.
Verdict, " Lunacy."— Qxfurd Herald.

This morning these Sessions commenced before F.
CONST, Esq. Chairman, and a bench of Magistrates.
Charles Fox Oppenheim was indicted for fraudulently
converting to his own use the proceeds of a bill of ex-
change for 371 the property of Mr. Charles Walker.
Mr• Atr,rtv (with whom was Mr. BARRY) stated the
case to the Jury. The indictment was preferred in pur-
suance of an Act of Sir R. Peel's (which amended a for-
mer Act) by which it was made a misdemeanour, punish-
ableby fine,imprisonment, or by transportation, for any agent
entrusted with a bill of exchange, or other negotiable se-
curity, for the purpose of getting it discounted, or for any
other special purpose, to convert it to his own use. That
Art, however, provided that the directions as to the pur-
pose to which the bill was to he applied should be given
to the agent in writing. The circumstances of the present
case were these :—Mr. Walker and the defendant had
been formerly acquainted, and had had money trans-
a.ttions with each other. In the summer of 1830
the prosecutor give the defendant the bill of ex•
change for 371. with a verbal direction to get
it discounted. The defendant then gave the prose-
cutor a memorandum acknowledging that be had the bill
to get discounted, or undertaking to return it on the follow-
ing day. However, he did not return it, but converted it
to his own use, and before he could he apprehended be
sailed to India, and upon his return to England the present
indictment was preferred.
Mr. Anor.rrius took an objection to the case being
proceeded in. He would even take the case as
detailed by Mr. Alley, and he contended that there
was no offence within the meaning of the Aet. The
Act required that a person, entrusting a bill of exchange
to an agent for a certain purpose, must give a written
direction to the agent. In this case there was no writti n
direction given by the prosecutor, there was nothing in
writing but an acknowledgment by the defendant, and
while that document made the defendant amenable to a
civil action, it took away all criminal jurisdiction. The
Learned Counsel, in addition, begged to state that the bill
in question was drawn by the defendant on and accepted
by the prosecutor.
' The CHAIRMAN was of opinion that Mr. Adolphus's
objection was a good one, and therefore stopped the case.
—The defendant was then acquitted.
Edward Smith, Charles Barnett, James Thompson,
and Thomas Grace, stood indicted for unlawfully and
maliciously printing and publishing a❑ inflammatory libel
in the Satirist newspaper, on the 20th Nov., of and
concerning John Winter Hart. _

The only defendant who appeared was Thomas Grace.
The prosecutor himself not appearing.
The CHAIRMAN directed the Jury to find the defendant
Not Guilty.

- - - .
Mr. C. PHILLIPS, for Mr. Grace, expressed his indig-
nation at such a disgraceful prosecution. He said the prose-
cutor, who now refused to appear, finding himself aggrieved
by something that appeared in the Satirist, did not choose
to prosecute the proprietary or printers, but went and laid
an indictment against several poor newsmen, who very
probably never opened the Paper or knew what it contained.
The Jury found the defendant Not Guilty.
The alleged libel was a paragraph imputing fraud to the
prosecutor in some bill transactions.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

We stated last week in our city article, that the po-
litical horizon on the Continent was again darkened ; arid
it now appears by accounts from Brussels, of the 28th
ult., that the negociations pursued by the Conference
are again complicated within a few days by the singular
pretension of the King of Holland relative to the demo-
lition of the fortresses, on which they are now treating.
The King of Holland pretends they cannot be demolished
without his consent, as these fortresses were erected as a
harrier against France, and as a security for this country.
This, added to the bad disposition of the Court of Russia,
has caused much anxiety in the public spirit.
The following is the answer of the Emperor of Russia to
Baron Heckerew, sent by the King of Holland :

" The Emperor of Russia cannot promise to the King
of Holland the desired assistance, if he does not wish to
accept the 24 articles ; but the Emperor will not prevent
the King of Holland to continue ti war at his own risk.
On the contrary, the Emperor expects that no other
Power will interfere, if he does not ; and that the King
of Holland may try to what extent he can succeed against
the Belgians."
Accounts have been received from Rio Janeiro this
morning by the Antelope, arrived at Cowes, and by the
Medusa at Jersey, to the 29th October. All was per-
fectly tranquil. At Rio, Exchange 29i stock, 47 in
demand.

We have no other arrivals this morning of consequence.
