nesday evening.
The Bishop of London paid a visit yesterday to

COUNTY WATIRYORD.--MORE PBELERS.--in
the Barony of Cashmore.and Cashbrid, thirteen of the
County Magistrates have signed a Memorial to the
Lord Lieutenant, the object of which is to have an
additional force placed at their disposal to curb the in-
surrectionary movements (as they allege) of the people.
This document was not signed in open Court, but in a
species of Star-Chamber, lately established. Two
Magistrates, one a Protestant, the other a Catholic,
refused to sign the requisition. It would appear there
never was a more uncalled for measure, the people
being as peaceably disposed as in any other part of the
kingdom,; but Waterford Magistrates, and Beresford
influence and interest., think otherwise, and the people,
we suppose, must he dealt with according to law.

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 27, 1826.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday and the Etoile of
Wednesday morning reached town last night, but are
again barren of political intelligence.
The discussions respecting the burial of TALMA,
and the conduct of the Catholic Church towards
Actors, are carried on between the Ultra and Liberal
Journals with fierceness, and principally fill their
columns. The • Etoile has also one of its unintelli-
gible articles upon the politics of France with regard
to Greece, from which, however, it is sufficiently evi-
dent that the cause of Greece has but little chance of
deriving assistance from France.

The health of the King of SPAIN, to which we
alluded three days ago, becotnes more alarming, The
Journal des Debuts states that his MAJESTY still
suffers from the gout, and with a lethargy, which sur-
prises him by sleep while working in his cabinet,
sitting at table, or even while carrying on a conversa-
tion. A red 'Tot has also appeared on his MAJESTY'S
leg, which has augmented the anxiety of Doctor CA S•
TELLO, who was anxious to call into a consultation
some of the most eminent men of the faculty in Madrid ;
but this was overruled by his first Physician, Doctor
REBoTo, his Surgeon in ordinary, and his. chief
Apothecary, on the
ground that it would alarm the
KIND and the Royal Family; or perhaps, more pro-
bably, from the jealousy which they themselves felt of
the other members of the profession who would hoe
been cOnsulted.

entirely escaped ; and those who have had the fever
are liable to
_continual relapses. The tolling of the
bell at funerals had become so incessant, that it had
been entirely forbidden, and want, the usual attendant
on pestilence, is now likely to fill up the picture of
human misery which exists in these unfortunate
districts.

The Committee appointed to investigate the cause
and nature of the disease say—" Thousands, who are
able to provide for their families by their industry; now
look with despondency to the prospect before.them.—
TO provide them with necessaries during the winter is
our task. Thanks to the friends of humanity in Our.
country, and, above all, in our city, which enables us
in some measure to do this. We have already a list
of 600 families, and may calculate on 1,500 in the
winter, who will require support, not to be a burden to
the funds for the poor, which would htimiliate them in
their own eyes. We have already lost two of our
committee, and seven are ill. His Majesty the KING
has given 5,000 florins for the distressed at Gro-
ningen."
We subjoin an extract stating the measures of
Finance brought forward at the Sitting of the Second
Chamber of the States General
BRUSSELS, OCT. 20.—1 n the Sitting of the SeCond
Chamber of the states General to-day, the Minister of
Vlnance brought forward the Extraordinary Budget for 1827.
His Excellency stated the first division of the expenses
at about 15,313,473 florins, being nearly 2,391,000 florins
more than in the current year. This asgmentatioß iE
pertly caused by a sum of 500,000 florins eventually.neces.
eery for the Roman Catholic worship, and a sum of one and
a half millions for the works on the sea coast and rivers.

The second division of the Budget, which, for the cur•
rent year, is 7,160,995 florins, being a diminution of above
104,000 dollars. The Ways and Means consist in a sum
of 700,000, which, besides the sum of 370,000, already
assigned for the service of the present year, is found to be
remaining from the receipts of 1823; the excess in the
receipts of 1825, amounting, after the deduction of the
million at the disposal of the King (and which his Majesty
has this time declared his intention of retaining), a sum of
no less than 1,815,797 florins. The amount of Export
slid Import duties now amounting to 6,200,000 florins. The
remaining sources of Revenue are the same as in the present
year, only that the additional cents. are to be diminished.

We received last night New York Papers up to the
30th ult. Their contents are not important, and such
parts of them as relate to the affairs of Buenos Ayres,
and other of the South American States, have prin-
cipally reached us through different channels. We

BANKRUPTS' HALL—(Tms DAY.)

MR. ELLISTON.

Mr. Elliston, the late patentee of Drury lane Theatre, whose
namt appeared in the Gazette last week as a bookseller, made
'his first surrender t• the Commissioners of Bankrupts this day.
The surrender was of consequence inconsiderable--a "a thing of
shreds and patches"—as it is scarcely a fortnight since a sale of
all the bankrupt's property, pictures, books, and household furni.
ture, took place at hie residence in Word-road.

ROYAL SOCIETY.

We omitted het week by mistake our report of the Meeting on
Thursday the 7th, but that Meeting was almost entirely occu-
pied by reading the minutes of the last, comprising Mir H.
Davy's Address at the Anniversay, of which we have already
given an account. There was also read a paper by Dr. John Davy,
on the composition of James's Powder..

On Thursday the 14th, a paper was communicated by Mr. Snow
Harris, of Plymouth, on the relative conducting powers of diffe-
rent metals for electricity. These powers were measured by the
degree of heat produced on passing the discharge of a battery,
through wires of the same size formed of the different metals.
The degree of heat developed in each, is different in some inverse
ratio to its conducting power. The heat was ascertained by bring-
ing the points of discharge within a hollow glass sphere, which
formed the bulb of au air thermometer ;—the expansion of the
contained air being measured in a tube opening into a bulb. A
vaicty of different metals and alloys were tried in this way, and
the numerical results given in a table.

M. Charles Lucien Buouaparte, Prince de Masignano, was
present at the Meeting.

SUN-OFFICE, Foun O'CLOCK.

A variety of very favonrablireportaiare in circyla-
lion in the City, said to have arrived by several ex-
presses from Paris, one of which is, that the two Go-
vernments perfectly understand each other on the
measures which the British Government is taking
with regard to Spain, and that our Ambassador
has met the French Minister, and has received such
proofs of the amicable feeling of the French Govern-
ment, that no alarm need be entertained on the score
of difference with France—thus FERDINAND will be
left to himself.

Consols are on the rise, and are at this moment

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

Yesterday John. Low and Mary Mario Potts, stood indicted,
for violently beating and ill-treating two children, aged six and
seven years, and keeping them without a sufficient supply of food
and clothing. .
The Office•keeper of Worsh►p-street Office, deposed, that be
found their bodies covered with bruises, and they were besides in
a dreadfullyeniseiated state ; they were merely skin'aud bone. Hi
never saw more shocking objects.
Mr. Aatv, for the prisoners, merely observed, that as to the
Irian, there was no evidence, but'declined saying any thing for ilia
woman.

The Jury instantly acquitted the man, but found the woman
guilty.
The CHAIRMAN sentenced her to be imprisoned, and kept to
hard labour, for the space of six months.
Charles Edward Grindall, the young man, whom, alleged
carceration of his nude in a mad-house has made so-much noise,
was brought up in custody, to plead to an indictment, charging
him with perjury.
He pleaded not guilty, and demanded his right of traverse till
the next Session, which was, of course, allowed. Ile was re-
manded back to gaol till he could find bail.
The Court then adjourned.

rests. on no. sufficient grounds.': The question is treated
as one of war„ instead of being. regarded in its true
colours, a measure of precaution, to avoid war. It is
absurd to consider the,course pursued by his Majesty's
Government, as an actual declaration -of hostilities
towards Spain ; and still more absurd,, as it appears
to us, is the determination to discover a warlike
tendency in the Speech of the King of We
have considered, and re-considered, this document,
and profess our inability to see in it any belligerent
feeling.. But, dismissing altogether speculative opi-
nions, we can unequivocally state, that the policy of
France, at this moment, is decidedly pacific ; and
that our own Ministers contemplate no occasion, as likely
to arise, which_ will derange that policy.. We may ask
indeed, with whom is a war to be waged ? Not certainly
with Spain, abandoned by France ; and, abandoned by
France, she would be, if it were possible to suppose her
rash enough to provoke further the resentment of Eng-
lund. Is it, then, a war with France that is to be appre-
hended ? We should not think of arguing seriously with
any one who would maintain this proposition. - A man
who strews that he is fully prepared and determined to
repel an insult, •is the last person likely tojeceive one.
England is that man at the present moment. She has
indeed stretched forth her arm in the attitude of defiance—
but we have yet to learn who will bid her strike.--

A notice of a tender from the principal Officers and Commis-

conveyance of 400 and 500 tone of ordnance stores and provisions

Some exaggerated statements have appeared respecting the
amount of military force at present kept up in Spain by France.
We learn, upon good authority, that the whole number of French
troops actually distributed in the following places does not exceed
eleven thousand men, viz. :—Cadiz, Yola, Chiclana, Port Royal,

FORGERY.
Thomas Kluge's was indicted for having feloniously forged and
counterfeited, on the 17th July, at Walthainsturve, a cheque upon
Messrs Curtis and Co. bankers, London, for the sum of 26/. 14s.
with intent to defraud Thomas Linsell. There was a second
count for uttering the same cheque, knowieg it to be forged..._.
There were two similar sets of counts, except that the intent was
laid to be to defraud other Persons.
Mr. Bmdriek and Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution, at
the instance of the Society of Bankers, for their mutual protec-
tion against forgery.' Mr. Jason!) was for the prisoner.
The prisoner lived with Mr. Benjamin Cotton, the brother of
the prosecutor, at Layton, in the capacity of footman, and was dis-
charged from his situation on 6th July, receiving sit guineas, rho
amount of the wages then due to him, by a cheque on klets&pur-
tis and Co., his master's bankers. Some time after the prisoner
had quitted Mr. Cotton's 'service, it was discovered that five blank
cheque. bad been torn out•of his master'', cheque books. On the
17th July, the prisoner celled upon a Mr. Linsell, a grocer, in Lay-
ton, and requested hint to cash him a cheque for 261. 145., purport-
ing to be drawn by William Cotton upon Messrs. Curtis and Co.,
payable to George Turuley. Mr. Lime)l at first hesitated, but at
the pressing recuest of the prisoner cashed the cheque. . Mr. Lin-
all's son was preseut at the transaction, and they both swore po-
sitively. to the person of the prisoner. The cheque remained In the
possession of Mr. Linsell till the 21st of July, when his son, by
his desire, pail it to a Mr. Walker, the clerk of Mr. Strange, a
chasemonger, in London, for a bill due to him from Linsell; and
Strangapaid it into his own bankers, Messrs. Hankey and
Co., by whom it was presented to Curtis and Co., who declined
paying it, alleging that Mr. William Cotton had no cash account
with them. The cheque being then returned to Mr. Lime% it
was, upon inquiry, discovered to be a forgery ; and suspicion iris-
ing against the prisoner, means were taken for his apprehension.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of uttering the cheque,
knowing it to have been forged.
The Learned Junes: passed the sentence of the la*, buldiug
out no immediate hopes of mercy to the unfortunate convict.
