RESULTS.

1. That the resistance of a fluid to the motion of a
floating body will rapidly increase as the velocity of the
body rises towards the velocity of the wave, and will be-
come greatest when they approach nearest to equality.
2. That when the velocity of the body is rendered greater
than that due to the wave, the motion of the body is
greatly facilitated : it remains poised on the summit of the
wave in a position which may be one of stable equilibrium ;
and this effect is such, that at a velocity of nine miles an
hour the resistance is less than at a velocity of six miles be-
hind the wave.

3. The velocity of the wave is independent of the
breadth of the fluid, and varies with the square root of the
depth.
4. It is established that there is in every navigable
stream a certain velocity, at which it will be more easy to
ascend the river against the current than to descend with
the current. Thus, if the current flow at the rate of one
mile an hour in a stream four fret deep, it will be easier to
ascend with a velocity of eight miles an hour on the wave,
than to descend with the same velocity behind the wave.
5. That vessels may be propelled on the summit of waves
at the rate of between twenty and thirty miles an hour.

DUBLIN POLICE.

Miss Judith Coleman, a tall and masculine looking wo-
man, who keeps a boarding and lodging-house in Henry-
street, was escorted into th office yesterday by a couple of
policemen, followed by a little man named Byrne, who kept
at a respectful distance from the dexter hand of the spinster,
which was elevated towards him with gestures of no very
amicable or dubious nature. The lady was attlited in a
faded silk cloak, whose ample folds swept the floor of the
board-room as she strode along in all the dignity of offended
pride. Having shouldered the two policemen from her,
casting at the same time a withering glance at the poor
little man, who shrunk behind them for protection, she
approached Sir William Stamer, who was the only magis-
trate present, and in a voice of thunder addressed the star-
tled knight—
" May I ask, Sir, why I have been dragged through the
streets in this manner, by two policemen ? It's a shame to
treat a lady so."
Sir WILLIAM STAMER—What is all this about ? It's
insufferable, Sir, insufferable."

Sir WILLIAM—Pray, Madam, Le pacified, and state your
complaint, if you have any.
A faint and tremulous voice here addressed the bench,
and all eyes were turned to the place from whence it pro-
ceeded. The little man emerged from his place of shelter,
and cautiously approachcd Sit William, keeping his eyes
fixed on the movement of the enemy—

" I'ts I that am the complainant, your worship."
Miss Coleman—You pitiful creature.

Sir William—You must be quiet, Madam.
The Complainant stated that he was a Paving Board
messenger, and that Miss Coleman had been in the habit of
following him to his office, and " barging him," so that he
was in great danger of losing his situation as well as his
character, from the frequency of her visits, which " were
few and far between," and anything but angelic. She had
called upon him that morning, much to hie annoyance, and
behaved in so violent and outrageous a manner, that ho
was compelled to send for the police.
Miss Coleman—" Was there ever so great a fabrication.
Your Worship, I only went to demand my rent from him,
and see the manner that he has treated me. A lady to be
dragged off by two common policemen ! ! Good Heavens,
was there ever heard of such a thing ; but I have great pa-
tience, Sir William, great patience."—(Laughter.)
Sir WILLIAM—If you have any demand against this man,

_ .
I advise you to summons him to the Lord Mayor's Court,
but you had better not continuo to annoy him in this
manner.

The parties then left the office.

The Rev. Mr. Scott has announced his intention of
commencing a tithe campaign forthwith, if they do not come'
in and pay him the amount of their tithe.--Limerick Star.
A numerous and respectable meeting of the King's

DESTRUCTION OF ASIIBURTON-HOUSE, ON
PUTNEY-HEATH, BY FIRE.—On Friday night, about half-
past eleven o'clock, a fire 'broktout in the. mansion known
as Ashburton-house, on Putney-heath, which rapidly spread
throughout the whole building,- and raged with terrible
fury, causing for a time much alarm for the safety of the
noble edifices of Earl de Grey and the Marchioness of Exe-
ter, adjoining. A mounted express was sent off to the
Waterloo-road station of the London Fire EStablishment,
with theintelligence, and a large engine was got in readi-
ness with the greatest possible speed, and proceeded at a
rattling pace to the spot. Another large engine was like-
wise sent off from the Southwark-bridge station ; but when
they reached the house every part was found to be in
flames ; and as any attempts to arrest the progress of the
fire within the mansion were useless, the firemen turned
their attention to the detached buildings, and, fortunately
obtaining a good supply of water from a pond in the gar-
dens, succeeded in saving them. On the roof of the
mansion falling in, the flames rose with intense brilliancy
so a great height, and might have been seen many miles
off. Nothing now remains of the building but the external
walls ; and some idea of the magnitude of the mansion may
be formed from the fact, that it contained nearly one hun-
dred window's. It was formerly occupied by the late W.
Jones, Esq., Marshal of the King's Bench Prison, but in
consequence of some subsequent dispute it got into Chan-
cery, and became untenanted, except by a policeman named
Lyall and his wife, who were put in care of the building.
The fire is said to have been occasioned by the foulness of
a chimney. The House, we understand, was insured in the
Atlas Office for 3,000/., and there was a further seperato
insurance in the same office of 1,000/. on the detached
buildings. The policeman, who has resided in the man-
sion for upwards of two years, has lost. all his furniture, and
he also states that 35!. which be had saved up, is included
in the general destruction.

LONDON,
MO7'WAY EVENYNG, OCTOBER 12, 1835.

The usual Quarterly Account of the Revenue
has been published, and will be found in" an-
other part of The Sun. It is extremely gratifying
to see that there is an increase of 344,2221. in the
income of the quarter ending on Saturday last over
that of the corresponding quarter of last year. There
is a slight falling-off in the (tevenue of the entire year
ending on the iOth instant, as compared with the
year ending on the 10th October 1834 ; but this is
easily accounted for by the reduction made in the
assessed taxes. The apparent increase in the Cus-
toms and decrease in the Excise are to be attributed
to the transference of the Tea Duties from the one
branch to the other. So far from there being any
actual decrease in the Excise, there is an increase, on
the quarter, of 80,5901. This is important, as it shows
an increased consumption of articles of luxury, and
consequently an improvement in the condition of the
great body of the people. The same observation may
be applied to the state of cOrinnerce, as far as that
is indicated by the revenue arising from Stamps, and
from the Post Office. In the former of these branches

there is an increase on the quarter of 12,196/. ; in
the latter of 6,000/.

Gratifying as is the view thus presented of the
national resources, no one can entertain a doubt that
it would have been much more so, but for the con-
duct of the Tories in wresting the Government of the
country from the hands of those Statesmen who pos-
sessed its confidence, which occasioned a temporary
interruption of the national pKosperity.

We have received, in common with our contempo-
raries, Madrid journals to the 2d inst. Their contents
are interesting and important. Subjoined are copies
of M. MENDIZABAL'S address to the QUEEN-RE-
GENT on the mode of effecting a convocation of the
Cortes ; the Royal decree for the convocation ; and a
letter addressed by M. MENDIZABA L to Don I MA-
RIA CALATRAVA, Minister of the Supreme Council
of Spain and the Indies, appointing him—in conjunc-
tion with four others to be named by the QUEEN—to
draw up a project or bill for the reform of the electoral
law, which project shall be submitted to the Cortes, as
soon as they shall have assembled in a legislative capa-
city. To prevent the dangers necessarily attendant upon
a new electionin the present disturbed state of Spain, the
President of the Council has advised, and the QUEEN
has approved, the calling together of the several Mem-
bers of the last Chambers, which is thus presumed to
be adjourned—not dissolved. This step, however, is
merely taken as a prudent expedient. So soon as the
Chambers shall have adopted a system of electoral law
for the regular summoning of the Representatives of
the Spanish people, and shall have recommended means
for the immediate extinction of the rebellion in the

North, the Provisional Cortes will be dissolved, and

the Chambers re-elected in conformity with the provi-
sions of the New Law. 'We are well satisfied with
this course. It proves that the President of the Coun-
cil is not less familiar with the first principles of repre-
sentative Government than with the details of financial
business. It is as replete with the soundest dictates
of a liberal policy, as it is prudent under existing cir-
cumstances. Were the Cortes summoned accord-
ing to the established forms of the Spanish mo-
narchy, they neither would, nor could, represent the
opinions of the great mass of the people ; and con-
sequently they could not give a Constitution to
Spain, binding on the whole of the inhabitants.
This would be the case, even if the country
were tranquil ; whereas now no election of any kind
could take place in the disturbed municipalities, so
that several of the provinces would not be represented
at all. M. MENDIZABAL has got rid of this diffi-
culty,by recommending the convocation of the Chambers
as they stood at the close of the last Session for the
purpose of passing a law, for placing the system of
election on such abasistas shall secure the representation
of public opinion in the Legislative Chambers of
Spain. Having performed this last duty to their
country the Cortes shall be dissolved ; an election
will take place according to the forms recommended
by the Spanish Electoral Reform Bill ; and upon the
Cortes so elected shall devolve the task of giving a
constitution to their country. -

The following is a copy of M. MENDIZABAL'S
address to the QUEEN, relative to the convocation of
the Cortes, with the Royal decree to that effect :

MADAM—The Provisional President of your Conned
of Ministers, in laying at the foot of the Throne of your
august daughter, Queen Isabella IL, the homage of his
love and his respect, subjoins the following reflections on
the present state of the nation. The last beneficent de-
crees of your Majesty, and the approbation with which
you deigned to honour the principles of Government as laid
down in the exposition which I had the honour of address-
ing to your Majesty on the 14th, have calmed the agita-
tion which afflicted our unhappy country. The day or
universal reconciliation is nigh at baud, and on that day
wll commence a new era of glory for the Spanish nation.
O:a that day will commence the development of those
principles which must for ever attach public liberty to the
Throne of your august daughter. A convocation of the
C ortes of the kingdom is generally considered indispensable
fcr revising the Royal Statute, in concurrence with the
Royal authority, in order to insure the permanent execu-
tion of the ancient fundamental laws of the monarchy, by
i mpregnating them with the spirit of the age, and by ac-
c ommodatin,,,, them to the exigencies of present civilisation.
3ut though all are convinced of that necessity, which,
- then satisfied, will for ever close the abyss of political diffe-
ences, there are divergences of opinion relative to the means
a be adopted, under actual circumstances, for reassembling
he Cortes in a legal manner, so as to furnish no pretext for
dterior difficulties. Three means present themstives for
t he attainment of this desirable object :-1. The conyoca-
i ion of new Cortes, in virtue of a new system promulgated
--,)y your Majesty.-2. The same convocation, according to
-the present electoral law.-3. The convocation of the pre-
sent Cortes, for the purpose of making a new law of elec-
tions. The first method is contrary to the firm resolution
of your Majesty to consult the voice of the country upon
all important occasions, and in opposition to the principle of
representative .Government, wherein the law of election is
the fundamental law which includes within it an entire
constitution. Your Majesty will not adopt means which
-would place at the disposal of the Government the exclu-
sive solution of the problem, for your Majesty knows that
the preservation of public guarantees is the best support of
the Throne. The second means would be practicable un-
der other circumstances, but not in the present state of af-
fairs. In order to elect deputies, according to the present
electoral system, we should require the co-operation of
t be municipalities, which are not yet installed, agreeably to
the new decree. We should have to wait for that instal-
lation 2 • and in, such case, the meeting of the Cortes could
no t take place within four months—a delay which would be
injurious to the Government, especially in what concerns the
public credit. Moreover, all delay in tho convocation of
the Cortes might be considered, by persons of suspicious
dispositions, as an evasive means invented by Ministers for
eluding the accomplishment' of their promises, and a Mi-
nister, who respects public opinion and respects himself,
o ught to avoid the very shadow of suspicion. The neces-
si ity of convoking the present Cortes is demonstrated.
rhis means is the most easy and direct. The present
:ortes are the only legal organ of public opinion which
y our Majesty can consult under present circumstances.
'1 Legislature, whose session can be opened in six
w •eeks, will deliberate upon the new electoral law, ac-
cording to which the succeeding Cortes will be con-
voked. It will also take cognizance -of the most urgent
a. Efairs of the Administration. When the new electoral
la .w shall have been passed, and the new Cortes have been
;sembled, our Parliamentary sera will have commenced.
'I 'he distribution and balance of public powers, the pre-
n )gatives of the Throne, the rights of the nation, ministerial
n 'sponsibility, organic laws, and even the law of elections, if
it be deemed advisable, may be definitively established.
V 7hen these political questions are once resolved, the
T prone and the nation may concentrate their attention to-
w: ads administrative affairs, the sources of national wealth,
and the welfare of the people, all of which should be the
objects of every Government. I have, therefore, the ho-
nour to propose to your Majesty the immediate convocation
or the present Cortes, in order to attain the object ex-
pressed in this respectful exposition.
(Signed) " I. ALVAREZ MENDIZABAL.
" At the Palace, Sept. 28, 1835."

The following is the Decree for the convocation of
the Cortes:—

a DONNA. ISABELLA 11., by the Grace of God, Queen of
Castile, &c., and in her Royal name Donna Maria
Christina of Bourbon, Queen Regent during the minority
of her august daughter, to all whom these presents may
concern, greeting. Being desirous of rivetting the bonds
which unite the liberties of this noble, loyal, and magnani-
mous nation to the throne of my beloved daughter, 1 have
resolved, after having heard, the Council of Regency and
that of Ministers, to consult the nation through the me-
dium of its most certain and most legitimate organ, viz.,
the Cortes of the kingdom, convoked according to an elec-
toral system representing social interests in a manner more
extensive than the one now in existence. The Cortes,
who will assemble as promptly as possible, will, in concur-
rence with the Crown, revise the Royal Statute, in ordei
to ensure the permanent and entire execution of the funda-
mental laws of the monarchy; they will develop the prin-
ciples of Government contained in the exposition of the
34th, delivered by my President of the Council, and Mi-
nister of the Finances, Don. I. Alvarez Mendizabal, which
I have deemed fit to approve ; and they will definitively
organize the great Spanish nation. But the urgency of
circumstances requires the re-union of the present Cortes,
not only for the establishment of the electoral system, ac-
cording to which the succeeding Cortees are to meet, but
also for deliberating upon other points of great importance
and especially those which relate to the coilsolidation of

public credit. I therefore ordain, that on the 16th of No-
vember neat the Procuradores shall assemble in Cort in
the capital of the kingdom.

" Prado, Sept. 27, 1835." k• .•

The letter addressed by M. MENDIZAB,4
Don I. MARIA CALATRAVA, is dated the 7
September. It is as follows :
" Sir—Her Majesty the Queen Regent having
you with her entire confidence, on account of yout
meats in jurisprudence and politics, has deigned to -PPoint
you President of a Junta, composed of your Excellen,cY and
four other members, which her Majesty will imn4ediatelr
appoint, in order to present the draft of an Electo(ral
for the approbation of her Majesty, who will supmit the
same to the sanction of the Cortes about to assemble.
Majesty entertains no doubt that your Excellency
and your
colleagues will feel that a Bill, which includes wi thin itself )
the elements of a political Constitution, is of vas it:61)011-i
ante for the future stability and prosperity of the Monarchy
that you will deliberate and draw it up with that maturity
of judgment by which you are distinguished, that it will be
in harmony with the great interests it is intended to servo,
and that it will counteract the great danger with which tive
country is menaced, but which the Government of her
Majesty hopes to surmount with the co-operation of en-
lightened persons, who place on the same line the rights of
the throne and the rights of the nation."
By a Royal decree of the 2d of October the
QUEEN REGENT has appointed Don M. J. QUIN-
TANA, Procer of the kingdom ; Don A. OLCALA
GALIANO, Procurador of the Cortes ; Don J. de
MADRID D'AVILA, Minister of the Council of
Spain and the Indies ; and Don J. ORTIGOSA,
Archdeacon of Carmone, to co-operate with Don J.
M. CALATRAVA, in preparing an electoral law.
The QUEEN has also appointed Don MARTIN Los
HERos, Minister of the Interior, and Don AL-
VARA GOMEZ BECERRA, Minister of Justice.
The Government Junta of Estremedura has ad-
dressed a memorial to M. MENDIZABAL, in which it
pledges itself to support the new Government with
all the means at its disposal. It will vote supplies
for the maintenance of ten thousand troops—offers
to send all the forces that it can spare, with a
field battery, to Madrid, and pledges itself to meet
every difficulty that it has the power of obviating, to
enable the QUEEN to triumph over all her enemies.
The grandees, the proceres, aryl the merchants resi-
dent at Madrid, have presented three addresses to the
QUEEN, conceived in nearly the same language. They
make an offer to her Majesty of their lives and for-
tunes to consolidate the throne of Donna ISABELLA
11. and constitutional liberty, and to defend both
against all attacks made upon them, whether by the
Carlists or the Anarchists. The merchants are the
only body which offers its aid subject to a condition.
It states that it will perform all of which it is capable
in the service of the QUEEN, provided the Government
redeems its pledges of the 14th of September.

The Count Da LAS NAVAS has demanded of M.
MENDIZABAL that the garrison of Madrid should
march into Navarre against the Carlists, and that the
troops under his command should enter the capital as
preservers of public tranquillity. The answer of the
President of the Council was worthy of him. He in-
formed LAS NA VAS that both the garrison of 'Madrid
and the troops in Andalusia should march forthwith
against the Carlists, and that as for the city it was
.sufficiently secure in the loyalty of its inhabitants, and
the fidelity of the militia. The citizens regard this
in the light of an especial favour conferred upon their,
and are, consequently loud in their praises of the new
Administration.

Don CAitLos is presumed to have reached Estella
on the Ist inst. His affairs begin to grow desperate

Advices from Lisbon to the 4th inst. have been
received this morning. The Diario the 30th of
September contains the following official announce-
ment :

" Her MAJESTY having, by a decree of April 23,
this year, resolved to reduce to 4 per cent. the interest
of the debt, which was at 6 per cent., this operation
being nearly completed, has now determined, with the
same view, to the diminution of the national burdens,
that the measures prescribed by the said decree of 23d
April shall be applied to all those stocks which bear
interest at 5 per cent., and the payment of which is
Confided to the Counsellors of the Junta of Public
Credit. The holders of 5 per cents. who dissent, must
present their bonds (Apolices) to the Committee, from
the Ist to 31st Oct. Those who do not declare their dissent
within that time will be presumed to have agreed to
the conversion. The payment of the principal and
interest due to the end of the present half year will be
made by the Committee from the 2d May, 1836.
" OCT. B.—Her MAJESTY has been pleased to,
appoint Senhor DOMINGOS DE MELLO BRAYNER
to the post of Governor of Mozambique and its de-
pendencies.

" Her Majesty the QUEEN has assigned the Palace
of Bemposta, with its quintas and dependencies, to her
Imperial Majesty the Duchess of BRAGANZA, for
her residence."

A Morning Contemporary, on the authority of a
private correspondent, states that several Cabinet
Councils have been lately held, at which among other
weighty matters, it was resolved to grant an auxiliary
force of 6,000 troops to the Queen of SPAIN, on the
submission of all the Provisional Juntas to the
Government. We are quite confident that our
Contemporary has been misinformed on this matter.
Portugal has no idea of sending troops into Spain,
without the concurrence of England and France.
The QUEEN'S marriage is not likely to take place
for some time. Austria, Russia, and Prussia are
opposed to it on political grounds, unless her Most
Faithful MAJESTY choose some more eligible mate
than the young Prince of SAXE COBURG. These
powers are sufficiently jealous of the alliance between
England, Belgium, and Portugal, without positively
suffering the thrones to be cemented by the bonds of
consanguinity. The same objection would be made to
a marriage with the Duke of NEMOURS; so that it
is more than probable that some happy man, whose
name has not yet been heard, is destined to succeed
the late Duke of LEUCHTENBERG as consort to the
Queen of PORTUGAL.

We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of
Friday and Saturday. The Moniteur contains copies
of several communications from Spain, upon which,
however, no reliance can be placed. As we stated on
Saturday, the whole of the Government Press has
veered round in favour of Carlism. The telegraphs
are constantly at work, but the intelligence communi-
cated by them rarely finds its way out of the office of
the Minister of the Interior. The King of the FRENCH
is seriously apprehensive of the stability of his Throne in
the event of MENDIZABAL succeeding in Spain. The
means by which he seeks to avert what he conceives to be
an evil is most ridiculous, although to us it is suffi-
ciently annoying to warrant us in the use of a stronger
epithet. We are in a great measure dependant upon
France for all authentic intelligence from the
Basques, and the KING takes advantage of this for
the purpose of lowering the credit of Spanish
securities in this country. But this mode of attacking the
QUEEN'S Government has been resorted to rather late to
be even partially successful. England has gone too far
to recede ; neither can the credit of Spain so suffer in
in England as to affect very sensibly her operations in
the Basques. We have taken her securities, and must
therefore make our best of them. Before th 3 Spanish
Loans were contracted was the time for working the
telegraphs to some purpose.
The following is a summary of the news from Spain,
contained in the Moniteur of Friday and Saturday :

A letter from St. Gaudens, dated the 2d of October, con-
tains the following ;-- •
It is said that,an action took place on the 20th at Organa,

near Seu d'Urgel, between the Carlists and Christinos, aided
by the foreign legion, which, having attempted to storm the
town, has sustained considerable loss, but, having at length
taken possession of the place, put to the sword the Carlist
soldiers and Chiefs whom they found in it. Among them was
the famous monk Benet. It appears that, on the other hand,
the Carlists have captured or killed the Christino General
Chourouca.

" That which appears positive is that the Carlists just now
occupy the Gerry Salt Works, not far distant from the Aran
Valley, and intercept all correspondence with the interior of
Spain." '

(From the Moniteur of Saturday.)
A telegraphic despatch from Narbonne, dated the 7th, an-
nounces that on the sth the Carlists evacuated La Jonquiere,
and proceeded towards Llado, where an unimportant engage
ment has taken place. Tho Barcelona diligence can no longer
proceed further than Girona. That of Figueras has reached
Perpignan.
A letter from Tarbes of the sth confirms the news of the
advantage obtained over the Christinos in the last days of
September, near Urgel. It confirms, also, the death of the
famous Monk Benet, and of General Chourouca. Gurrea
has entered Barbastro, with a large number of prisoners.
Demoralization is making very rapid progress among the
Christinos.

A letter from Perpignan of the sth, announces that the
Carlist troops that have shown themselves on the frontier of the
Figueras Corregimiento are Navarrese troops, reinforced with
some Catalonian soldiers. They are commanded by Guergue,
who assumes the title of Commandant of the sth division of
Arrag.m of Don Carlos's army. It is thought that this move-
ment towards the extreme frontier is made only to strive to
protect the arrival of supplies from abroad.

We have received private advices this morning,
which assure us that the whole account of the affray
at Organa is grossly exaggerated in the French Minis-
terial Journals. In fact the Carlists neither made, nor
were they able to make any serious resistance. As to
the flourish about preventing all communication with
the Interior, that we know to be a pure invention.
The Journal des Debots has a long article denying
that it has sought to embarrass the QUEEN'S Go-
vernment. It insists that it stated the facts as they
were communicated to it, and that froth these it was
justified in inferring that the Carlists were more
fortunate than the Christinos. France does not care
three straws for the assertions of the Joarnal des
Debats, and' to England they are, if possible, still
less important. The writer, however, has the honesty
to acknowledge that he does not approve of MENDI-
ZABAL'S system. No person will question,this who
knows anything of the opinions of M.M. GUIZOT
and BROGLIE.

The Bon Sens of Saturday says :—" There is
another conspiracy against the KING'S life. To-day
at the Palace nothing has been talked about but this
plot, the object of which was to assassinate Louis
PI-lILLIPPE in his journey to Fontainbleau. Four
individuals are arrested and detained at Fontainblcau.
Particulars of this affair ale given, which it is not yet
time to repeat."

There is no other domestic news of moment in these
Journals. The trial of FIESCHI is the chief topic of
conversation in Paris.

The South Cheshire Conservatives had a gathering
on Friday last at Chester, which of course the Tory
journals have received orders to describe as one of the
most splendid and imposing ever witnessed in that
highly honoured county: A report of this meeting
will be found in another part of The Sun, by which
it will be seen that Lord DELAMERE was in the
chair, and abused Mr. O'CONNELL just in the style
that might have been expected from a Conservative
Peer. We verily believe—notwithstanding what they
themselves may allege to the contrary—that the Hon.
and Learned Member for Dublin is one of the greatest
God-sends the Tory party ever had. If it were not
for his never-ceasing activity in the cause of Reform,
and the able manner in which he points out its neces-
sity in his speeches, they would be left without a single
peg on which to hang a grievance. But his zeal sup-
plies them with a fertile theme for comment ; so long
as he lives they can never be in want of a subject for
vituperation ; and deeply grateful ought they to be to
him, for having furnished them with such a seasonable
addition to their thread-bare and half-exhausted stock
of ideas. In every quarter of the country,- the Con-
servatives are now literally trading upon O'CONNELL.
He is their freshest and most cherished common-place.
At the Chester Conservative meeting they had actually
nothing else to talk about. One Ignoramus endea-
voured,
in the absence of all other intellectual qualities,
to give point to his speech, by calling the Hon. and
Learned Member the recognized and interested ally of
the Government ; another stated that he was the
greatest curse the country had known for years past ;
while a third declared that he was no less distinguished
a personage than the Devil himself I In short, not an
individual among the company but made a point of
shaking his cap and bells at O'CoNNELL, though
none could give a more rational reason for his aversion
than that assigned by the pedant in justification of his
dislike of Dr. Fell :

" Ido not like thee, Dr. Fell,
The reason why I cannot tell ;
But this alone I know full well,
I do not like thee, Dr. Fell."

It is impossible that the Conservatives can dislike
O'CoNNELL because he is a Reformer, for they them-
selves are perpetually endeavouring to impress on the
public mind the fact that they, too, are Reformers.
One gentleman, indeed—Mr. ROPER, High Sheriff
for Flintshire—expressly said, " Every abuse the ex-
istence of which could be satisfactorily proved, he
wished to see rectified ; every acknowledged grievance
redressed ; and in stating this, he knew that he was
speaking the language of all true Conservatives." If
this be really the doctrine of a true Conservative, then
is Mr. O'CoNirELL a Conservative to the back-bone.
He asks nothing more than the redress of " every ac-
knowledged grievance ;" nothing more than what the
Constitution gives him, and every other sincere Re-
former, a full and perfect right to ask ; why, then, are
the Tories so wroth with him—so maddened at the
very mention of his name ? The reason is evident.
Because he is sincere in his efforts to secure Reform,
and they are just the reverse—because he can and will
see what constitutes a legitimate grievance ; and they
either cannot, or will not. Were the Honourable and
Learned Member for Dublin to confine his exertions
in the cause of good government to mere " sayings,"
none would more highly approve of his policy than
the Conservatives ; but, unfortunately, he extends
them to " doings." Hence the secret of the intense
hatred felt and expressed towards him by the
mock liberals.

We have observed that just in proportion to
the extent of a man's insincerity as a reformer, is
his denunciation of 0 CONNELL. All the Wa-
verers calumniate—all the Apostates fear and detest
'
him, A certain Morning Contemporary, notorious for

the unblushing manner in which, to quote one of
CASTLEREAGH'S immortal metaphors, he has lately
" turned his back upon himself," cannot even make a
passing allusion to him, without instantly falling into
such paroxysms of rage, as convinces us that a strait-
waistcoat is as much needed in Printing House-square,
as even principle and consistency. Mr. O'CONNELL,
however, is not the man to take these things much to
heart. He can afford to be abused, for abuse is a proof of
his power ; and when he sees besides that the party which
is now spitting its venom at him, is the very same
which, day by day, for upwards of a year, was attack-
ing Lord BROUGHAM in the same malignant, reckless,
manner, he cannot but accept it as an indirect, and un-
willing acknowledgement of his moral influence as a
Reformer.

From the ferocious style in which they speak of
him, one would almost be led to suppose that the
South Cheshire Conservatives had got up their
Association for no other purpose than to over-awe,
and, if possible, put down the Hon. and Learned
Member for Dublin. The blockheads ! He is not
the man to be put down by them. As well might a
herd of wild asses attempt to scare the lion by mere
dint of braying ! There is but one way of neutralizing
his vast political influence, and that is, by the -prompt
furtherance of all good measures of Government. Let
the Tories once fairly put their shoulders to the wheel,
and join Ministers in their efforts to secure Reform,
and Mr. O'CONNELL will soon cease to be the bug-
bear he now is. He is only influential, in proportion
as the Conservatives are intolerant. If he be, as they
say, a Frankenstein, he is, at least, one of their own
creation ; and they only baVe it in their power to
destroy the monster. In him the public will of Ire-
land finds a voice ; and that will, once properly at-
tended to, the voice whose indignant tones are
now loud enough to shake a kingdom will die away,
and be heard no more.
We are no blind admirers of O'CONNELL. We
have often had, and possibly may again have, rea-
son to condemn his public conduct ; but so long
as he maintains his present bold, but strictly con-
stitutional, course, advocating Reform in a tem-
perate and enlightened spirit, instead of permitting
his naturally sound intellect to be bewildered by such
an absurd theory as Repeal—so long shall we con-
tinue our support of him, not a little influenced
thereto, by the fact that those are just now loudest in their
denunciations of him, who are themselves among the
most notorious Waverers and Apostates of the day.
While on this subject, we may just mention—though
by the way, the tiling scarcely deserves notice—that a
Correspondent in an Evening Cotemporary of Saturday
accuses us, in pretty broad terms, of being renegades
from the Conservative standard." We know not who
may be the author of this statement, but whoever he
is, assuredly we may compliment him on the possession
of a genius for mendacity, unsurpassed even by a
MENDEZ PINTO or a MUNCHAUSEN. So far
from ever advocating, or making the slightest approxi-
mation to, Conservative policy, (as Sir IL PEEL, the
Magnus Apollo of the party, defines Conservatism,)
we have ever held it in the greatest abhorrence ; and
publicly expressed that abhorrence in the most energetic
and efficient terms we could command.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK

Montreal Papers to the II th of Sept., have been re-
ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house.

(From the above Papers.)
LOWER CAN ADA.—The number of vessels arrived at
Quebec lately, has been but small ; and the tonnage was,
on Saturday, 10,479 against this year, compared with the
last. Although the wind was from the eastward yesterday,
and blew strong last night, only five sail had arrived. 'The
markets for importations are bare, and the supplies of
timber large.

(From the Quebec Gazette.)
The late hoar frost has nowhere about Quebec touched
any of the tender' vegetables. We had afterwards five
days dry weather—more rain on Saturday.
The advices received yesterday by the mail from Hali-
fax, state that several cargoes of West India produce had
arrived at that port during the previous week.
A report has reached us by letter from Quebec, that
sundry extensive changes are contemplated in the execu-
tive and legislative councils ; that from both all placemen
and sinecurists are to be excluded, and that two or three
highly influential and independent gentlemen of Montreal
are to be elevated to the former.

New Brunswick Papers to the 4th of September have
been received.

The Lord Bishop arrived at St. Andrew's by the steamer
on Tuesday last, and proceeded immediately to St. Ste-
phen's, and on Saturday consecrated the new Church.
(From the Philadelphia Papers to the 13th Sept.)
TAmpico.—We have Tampico Papers to the 13th ult. :
the dates from Mexico are to the 21st ult., on which day
the Chambers were discussing whether the Congress should
amend the Constitution, or leave it for its successors. Also
whether the two Chambers should sit together on the sub-
ject or separately. It was not decided when the post started.
The arrivals this morning are—two French Mails, and
ship letters from New York and Quebec. The Dutch and
Flanders Mails have not yet arrived.
