WINDSOR, Nov. 11.

Yesterday the Duke of WELLINGTON arrived at the
Royal Lodge, and had a long audience with his MAJESTY.
The Council which was to have been held at the Castle
yesterday was postponed, it was said, in consequence of
the indisposition of the Recorder, he not being able to at-
tend. This circumstance has given rise to various rumours,
none of which can he relied on except the above.
Yesterday forenoon Sir EDMUND NAGLE arrived at the
Castle, and immediately sent an order to the Horse Bar-
racks that an orderly dragoon might be instantly forwarded
to Busby Park, in order to apprise his Royal Highness the
Duke of CLARENCE that the Council was put off, as his
Royal Highness was expected to attend on the occasion.
On Monday last Lord GRAVES arrived at the Royal
Lodge, on a visit to his MAJESTY.

On Monday last his MAJESTY, in the course of his
drives, visited the Castle, and inspected the preparations
nuking for his reception. It is expected that his MA-
JESTY will remove from the Royal Lodge to his suite of
apartments in the Castle the latter end of the present or
early in the ensuing month.
Yesterday Lord CLINTON arrived at the Royal Lodge,
on a visit to his MAJESTY. Sir EDMUND NAGLE is also
On a visit to his MAJESTY.

The Duke of WELLINGTON has left town,
on his return to his seat at Stratfieldsaye, Hants. Prince
EETERHAZY, the Austrian Ambassador, and Sir CULLEN
forming part of a shooting party staying at Strat-
fieldsaye, on a visit to his Grace, have returned to town.
The Earl of ABERDEEN left town yesterday,
on a visit to the Marquis of SALISBURY, at his seat at
Hatfield, Herts. The Noble Marquis entertained a select
party yesterday to dinner.
At the meeting of the Medico-Botanical So-
ciety on Tuesday, at their rooms in Sackville-street, Mr.
FROST, the Director, delivertd his annual oration. On
the table were displayed a collection of plants presented to
the Society by his MAJESTY ; the greater part of the col-
lection was raised in the Royal Gardens, at Kew. A
number of the Foreign Ministers were present, and the at-
tendance of members was very numerous.
MEDHURST SCHOOL.—In consequence of
the resignation of Dr. BAYLY, Head Master of Medhurst
School, the Trustees met on Monday last, the 7th inst.,
to elect his successor, when, after having duly examined
the excellent testimonials sent in by six highly respectable
Candidates, their choice fell on the Reverend W. G.
BAYLY, Fellow of New College, Oxford, son of Dr.
BAYLY.

The Rev. STRICKLAND EDw. NEVILLE,
A.M. has been instituted to the Vicarage of Houghton,
near Harpley, in Norfolk, on the presentatioti of the
Marquis of CHOLMONDELEY.

The Rev. EDWARD JOHN SENKLER, A.M.
has been licensed to the Perpetual Curacy of Barmer, Nor-
folk, on the nomination of THOMAS KERSLAKE, Esq. 61
Lyne Grove, in Surrey.

The Rev. HOUGHTON SPENCER has been
licensed to the Perpetual Curacy of Crimplesham, Norfolk,
on the nomination of the Bishop of ELY.
The Rev. EDWARD FRERE, A.B. has been
instituted to the Rectory of Finningham, Suffolk, on the
presentation of the Right Hon. Joitx HOOKIIAH FRERE,
of Roydon, in Norfolk.

The Rev. Mr. YORKE, M.A. has been pre•
sented by the Countess nz GREY to the Rectory of Shen
field, Essex, vacant by the death of the Rev. Mr. SALTER,

The Rev. SAMUEL SHEEN, Rector of Stan.
stead, Suffolk, has transmitted to the farmers in his parish
a circular letter, informing them that, in consequence of
the extreme pressure of the times, and other unfavourable
circumstances, he intends, at his Tithe Audit, to reduce
their present compositions 10 per cent., and that, if it
should be found inconvenient to them to pay even that sum,
he will receive half of it, and the remaining half when
convenient to pay it. This liberal conduct, in the present
depressed state of agriculture, is highly meritorious to the
Rev. Gentleman, and will, we hope, be generally adopted.
The Rev. GEORGE STRACEY, Rector of the
parish of Rackheath, very liberally deducted 12 per cent
at his late Tithe Audit, in consideration of the depressed
state of agriculture.

The " Memoirs of BOLIVAR," announced
for immediate publication, are reported to contain much
new information relative to the private history of that ex-
traordinary man, besides giving a more copious and son-
nected detail of his military and political operations than
we have hitherto possessed. The work is, in fact, said to
comprise a complete history of the Colombian Revolution
and Government, and moreover, to exhibit during its
course, many singular personal anecdotes of the daring and
romantic chieftains who have with such vigour, prose-
cuted the war of independence in the vast plains and forests
of South America.

The Marquis de CHABANNES, so celebrated
for his long captivity in the prisons of Belgium, as well as
for his numerous pamphlets in prose and verse, has been
sued before the Tribunal of Commerce, for a debt of 777
francs, arising out of his connexion with an establish-
ment of post-coaches during the republic, which failed.
The Tribunal referred the matter to arbitration.

The day of the 4th (the King of FRANCE'S
. birth-day) was, like his MAJESTY'S life, very chequered_...
being rainy and lowering in the morning, and bright in
the evening.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at
the East India House, when Captain THOMAS BLAIR was
sworn into the command of the ship William Fairlie,
consigned to Bengal and China.

A GOOD SHOT.—A veteran sportsman in
the neighbourhood of Retford, last week, shot four cock
pheasants and a brace of bares at four shots.—Newark
Times.

SPIRIT OF TIT PUBLIC JOURNALS.
There has been atreat deal said in the news-
papers, and elsewhere;, upon the case,of, a Mrs.
Phillips, who died iuddenly,:.and, it appears,
under circumstances, which, if not sus'Picious in
themselves, have been employed as a pretence
for making particular individuals the Ivcs of
suspicion. It is really quite shameful that an
affair of this nature should be left in its present
state of darkness and uncertainty, or at least
that no serious and formal measures have been
adopted, for ascertaining whether or not it may
be susceptible of further light. Either the de-
ceased was unfairly dealt by, or some of the sur-
vivors have been so ; and is there no Magistrate
to insist upon the necessary investigation ? One
Magistrate has undoubtedly had the subject
brought before him in an official manner. We
conceive that the worshipful gentleman ought not
to have left a case of imputed murder (for such
it is) precisely where he found it, until he had
summoned all the parties who could by any
means be considered either capable of making
'discoveries or liable to be affected by them ; and
when all this pother is made about parish officers
refusing to prosecute, and relatives or others
throwing d ffictett the way we must ask at
y do
aiell,lagistrate—the paid
minister of justice—do his ditty, and force for-
ward the case to a diligent and satiefactory exa-
mination ? The loss of life is not a family, or
private, or even a parish question : it is a matter
which concerns the Crown, and interests the
realm. To talk of it in the fast-and-loose ray
that we have heard in some quarters during the
last three weeks, is a miserable trifling with
public justice.—Time's.
We insert with unfeigned pleasure, and with
no small share of admiration, the address of Dr.
Doyle, Roman Catholic Bishop of Leighlin and
Ferns, to the peasantry of the Queen's County,
in Ireland, The Rev. Gentleman has in this
Performance essayed, and with infinite power of
language, to dissuade the poorer classes of his
countrymen from entering Into or encouraging

ages involved their wretched members- in an un-
ceasing conflict with the laws, and which have

not been more branded by guilt in e 4
than by disgrace and ruin in their progress and
results. We have read no where an appeal to
the hearts and understandings of the loner Irish
more fitted to impress them with a real know-
ledge of their own condition, and of the dose
connexion between an orderly and moral tonduca
on their part, with the gradual, but inevitage,
improvement of their country, on which must dc-,
pend, as its only certain basis, the ultimate re-
lief of the peasantry from the dreadful poverty and
suffering which have preyed upon their lives,
and often provoked to a disregard of the rights
of others, as criminal and revolting as it has ever
to themselves proved fatal. It is true that Di.
Doyle does not spareethe upper classes, nor in
any degree palliate their frequent oppression of
the poor ; and for this we think the Ilev.
Bishop is entitled to the praise both of truth and
sound policy, inasmuch as no honest man could
say that the Irish gentry and landlords had set
a general example to the peasantry, of respect
for the obligations of humanity and justice ; and
no wise man, while he sought to gain an influx
ence over the multitude, would let them sup-
pose him insensible to their wrongs, any more
than to their transgressions. We are sure that
this effort of the Bishop in the good cause of
peace, subordination, and integrity, will be
crowned with extensive, if not entire success
and we shall bail the hour which brings with it,
a cordial understanding between the Government
and the Catholic priesthood, which might be
rendered an instrument of reformation for the
people, far more welcome and effectual than the
most coercive laws.—lbid.
We call the attention of our readers to an
article taken from the Boston Commercial
Gazette, on the subject of the evils produced by
the American Tariff to the inhabitants of the
United States. The statement will go far, we
should think, to lead those who allowed them.

selves to be persuaded that the prosperity of
nation is best promoted by interfering with the
freedom of industry, to doubt the soundness of
that opinion. The Americans, forgetting that
labour must always be high in a country abound-
ing with fertile land yet unoccupied, wished to
be independent of other nations for manufac-

tures, as the phrase is ; and the consequence of
the mad attempt to bolster up manufactures, by
protecting duties, is one universal ruin. " The

present year (says a Newspaper published in
the capital of the chief manufacturing State of
the Union, Massachusets) will be remembered
as perhaps more fatal to property than any pe-
riod since our existence as a nation." The in-
vestments of capital in manufacturing establish-
ments, so far from yielding dividends, have been
followed by call after call of further investments,
to prevent total ruin. " Unhappily," says this
account, " he (the manufacturer) is soon sur-
prised by an assessment of 25 per cent. on the
stock aforesaid, which, with some difficulty,
he contrives to pay by procuring a tempo-
rary loan. This is the best warning ; yet
he is consoled with the belief that all is

well,' and that be will receive a fat dividend. He

is soon destined, however, to be ' surprised' a
second time ; another assessment is laid, and
probably double the amount of the former. Hs

is compelled to pledge his stock for what money
can be raised upon it ; and, to make up the
sum required, he is obliged to force a sale of his
other property at less than half the cost ; his air-
built castle vanishes, and in the end he is ruined.
Meanwhile manufactures hare become so worth-
less, that it is difficult to find a person who will
accept the stock, with its liabilities, even if a
6(-rift • the degraded inmates of these establishments
_ _

are turned— friendless and ignorant upon the
world, and the only possible good that results
from this mass of evil is the severe lesson of ex-
perience it always conveys to mankind." The
article concludes with the expression of an opi-
nion that the next Session of Congress " will
not disappoint the just and reasonable expecta-
tions of the community; and that a certain Act,
passed in 1828, will, ere long, only be reinem-

The purchases were of course limited by the
ability to pay. The effect of forcing manufac-

been to make the agriculturist give to the domes-

difli-
t.ulties in the way of establishing their own Ins•

the mann fitcturing labourer is much lower in Eng-
land than in America, the American manufac-

turer must always be paralysed by the competi-
tion of English stocks, The soil of England
is not like that of the United States, it Is li-

mitcd ; but there is no other limit to Ler manu-

'hawing industry than the abiiity of the inhabi-
tants of other countries to furnish equivalents for
our manufactures. So long as food can be in-
troauced cheaper into England than it can be
raised, it is evident that the most beneficial ex-
tenion of our industry is towards raising mann-
...

factures rather than food. Foreignera.will net. ',-,end
their food here for nothing ; and We cannot,
therefore, import v. ithout the ability to pay.
Whence have we the ability to pay ? By ex-

changing our mattuth;:tures jiihei directly for the
food, or indirectly for gold to purcho,se it. The
'purchase always resolves itself into the industry
of the nation. we had no means of obtain-

ing gold, we could not purchase food from fo-
reigners. That we can afford to purchase it
cheaper from foreigners than at home, is a proof
that we ought to purchase it from them, and that
all attem:)ts to prevent this by heavy duties on
importation, is merely sacrificing the prosperity
of the country to the avarice of the landowners,
which is neither more nor less than a counter-
part of the foolish scheme of our brethren of the
United States. The distress of the country has
not, certainly, been occasioned by flee trade, but
by the want of free trade ; and, among other
'things, the monopoly of the Bank of England,
and by the violent measures recommended by
Lord Liverpool, and acted upon very injudici-
ously towards the country bankers. The in-
dustry of the country has suffered very much
from the derangement which this interference
occasioned.—Morning Chronic'e.

Since the establishment of the New Police,
Nye have neglected no opportunity that offered
of making ourselves acji
uainted
Nith the details
of its operation, both aTrespected the safety and
convenience of the great body of the people, and
also with reference to what may be called its
own internal economy, organization, and discip-
line. We have already hazarded an opinion,
that so far as a short experience extends, it may
fairly be pronounced an improvement. We do
not wish to be understood as expressing an opi-
nion that the new system is not still susceptible
of further amendment ; but we are satisfied, from
Some striking facts that have come to our know-
ledge, that there is an honest and earnest desire
to establish and enfi)rce amongst the individuals
employed, an attention to their duty, and a spirit
regularity in the perlormance of it, indispen-
sible to the attainment of the important purposes
contemplated at the time of its adoption. That
some delinquents should be found in a body so
numerous, and who were for the most part, or
rather universally, selected from the population of
a luxurious metropolis, was no more than was
to be expected in the ordinary course of things,
and ue hold it to be an earnest of a proper
course of proceeding in the persons to whom
the discipline of the body is especially confided,
that so far as we can learn (and our inquiries
have been minute, and directed to competent
authorities), -no case has hitherto occurred of a
complaint having been preferred
without prompt redress, when injury had been
sustained, and as prompt punishment to the
offending individual. A similar course of salu-
tary rigour has been pursued in all estaLlished
eases of intoxication ; this most mischievous
and dreadfully prevalent vice has already been
the cause of the dismissal of nearly one hundred
policemen ; and it is the fixed determination, in
the quarter where the requisite power is lodged,
to receive no excuse for a failing which, from its
very nature, incapacitates its victim from a pro-
per discharge of his function. We think the
publication of the facts above detailed will be
serviceable in a double way : it will tend to dis-
abuse the public mind of some absurd prejudices,
industriously propagated, that the new establish-
ment might transgress with impunity, and will,
we trust, operate as a wholesome warning to the
remaining members of the establishment.—lbzd.
An idea is afloat (an erroneous one, we hope)
that Ministers have no measures in agitation to
propose to Parliament for the relief of the coun-
try—that they do not think Parliament capable
of administering any relief ; and that their main
efforts are directed towards what is called a
balancing of parties, by which when Parliament
does meet, they may be protected from any seri-
ous annoyance ; in fact, that they still intend to
trust to the chapter of accidents—to the absurd
and worn out notion that things will in time
" right themselves." That a country should be
at the end of fifteen years of peace in a much
worse state than that peace found her in ; that
she should have been deprived of the blessings
and advantages of peace by the errors of her
statesmen ; and that her present rulers, wilh these
errors and their effects staring them in the face,
should say—" We will go on in error, because
we are sure that in time all will come right," im-
plies a degree of absurdity which one would
hardly attribute to men who, in the present ad-
vanced state of society, take upon themselves the
direction of State affairs. Nor can things
go on so much longer, let Ministers imagine
and dream what they will. But then we
may be asked if the distress of the country
be so great, why was not the country spoken
out more loudly upon the subject ? It is the
duty of wise and prudent rulers to know the
s.ee, of a country without its being fOrced upon
them by the cries of public distress. • Of' the
extent and nature of that distress no part of the
public can now be ignorant ; and what all the
rest of his subjects known and feel, surely the
King's Ministers cannot have to learn. We
agree in opinion witli those who think that pub 7
lie meetingi - should be 'called ; that the people,
more especially the influential - part of them,
should speak out ;. but still we thiek, that their
not doing so, forms
. .
no excuse for the.apparent

supineness of the Government. Suppose, which
God• foibid, the distress of the people should
become, as it appears to be becoming, too acute
fur endurance, and should break out (ai there
have been already some alarming symptoms of
its doing) into acts of violence, will it be any
apology on the part of the Government, if they
tel os, " how could we know that things were
in so bad a state P—why you did not complain."
On the contrary, ought !Int the patient endur-
ance of the people under their accumulated suf-
ferings to furnish stronger reasons than even the
urforts of despair can do why not a moment
should be lost in either applying a remedy to the
evil, or m acknowledging their incapacity to do

v:1, and in resigning their posts to those who
can ? In saying this, we would guard ottnelvv:i
From being supposed be in any degree in-

fluenced rti..,l,y motives, or that our object in
r.gbailest degree is to see one man out of
office, or another in. Our pat•tv !s that of the
country ; and if dlr. Dulze of Wellington is so
misled o„ tl'dceived, as to hesitate at doing what

we believe to be his duty for the interest of the
State, then we should say, however rcluciantly,
let seine other tarn be placed at the head of
affairs who wadi. In the mean time let the in-

flttcntial classes of society speak out. In agri;
culture the landlord should speak for himself,

his tenants, and tha peasantry in manufacturing
- • - • •

districtn the masters should make their own
tame known, and that of their men ; and we
trust that whenever Parliament does meet, Ali-

nisters will at least not have the excuse of say-

in( there can be no distress where there is no
cotnplaint, but that the table of both Houses
will be covered with petitions, setting forth the

real state of things.—Morning Herald.
The letter of Dr. Doyle to the inhabitants of
that part of Ireland over which he exercises spi-

ritual authority, if properly followed up, as we
think it is likely to he by similar admonitions
from others of the Roman Catholic Clergy, will,

e trust, abate those confederacies which reader

lire and property at every moment unsafe; and the
due administration of the law an absolute impos-
sibility. These lawless and sanguinary combi-
nations are a greater curse to the country, they
are more fatal to every hope of prosperity—they
can more completely and certainly elude the or-
dinary areas of Goyernment, and the regular
operation of the law, than any merely political
agitation, however violent, or from whatever
cause it may proceed. And therefore we wil-
linglytailmit that we shall owe a weighty oblig.a-
tioa le--those, be they whom they -may, who

,boar with zeal and success for tie extinction

:if this giant evil, and that such efforts will go
Far to redeem the faults they may heretofore

have committed, or even to extenuate those
which they may still meditate. It is due to Dr.
Doyle to say that his letter is powerfully written,
and that all the topics it embraces, if we con-
sider who are the parties to whom it is address-
ed, seem well calculated to promote the success
of the single object they profess to have in view.
We must, however, say, at the same time, that
some of the topics are such as we had rather
not have found in such a production, inasmuch
as they affoid ground for a suspicion that the
author, however anxious to put an end to mur-
derous associations in Ireland, has no great de-
sire for the cessation of political conflict in that
country. The pathetic description in which Dr.
Doyle indulges of the miseries he has witnessed
in the expulsion of tenants from their holdings,
and his representation of the distress inflicted
upon farmers by rapacious landlords, ungenerous
parsons, and exacting proctors, arc topics per.
haps well enough calculated to engage the
sympathies of those whom he addresses,
and thus to secure greater effect to his im-
mediate and express admonition ; but these
arc topics, nevertheless, which the Roman Ca-
tholic Priest, sincerely desirous of allaying the
general spirit of turbulence and disaffection,
would, we imagine, very willingly have avoided.
The ostentatious manner also in which the Re-
verend Doctor identifies himself with a lay de-
magogue, at this moment intent upon the task of
providing a new subject of Irish agitation, is not
it must be allowed, a very favourable symptom of
his earnestness or sincerity in the cause of peace.
We wish, moreover, that Dr. Doyle had not
been " told" that in the ;Associations he is en-
deavouring to break up, " Catholics and Pro-
testants are united." The first and most esscn-

vial preparation for attacking any evil with suc-
cess is to be .accurately informed of its nature.
This advantage we are now compelled to con-
clude 1)r. Doyle does not possess, if we would
avoid the harsher judgment which would impute
to him the deliberate purpose of conveying a
false impression to the conununity.—florniiig
Post.

We agree with a Correspondent that a dispo-
sition has prevailed, rather strongly of late, both
with the paid and unpaid Magistracy, to abridge
the rational enjoyments of the people ; and that
the late refusal to grant music licences to several
respectable taverns and hotels does but little cre-
dit either to the heads or hearts of the powers
that be. We also willingly allow that there is
no harm in " a sober game of whist," and that
to proscribe such amusements savours more of
the tyranny of power, than of that wise regu-
lation which it ought to be the object of the exe-
cutors of the law to establish. But our corres-
pondent is in error if he thinks that a Magis-
trate has any authority to interfere with " an in-
nocent game of whist," or a tune on the piano,
when the one is not made the subject of gamb-
ling, nor the other of obtaining money. They
have no right and no authority ; but if par-
ties will quietly submit to their decisions,
without trying the law of the case, we
have no means of helping it. The law has, in-
deed, been unjustly construed to say, that even
the sound of a piano in the house of a Licensed
Victualler, for which a music licence has not
been obtained, is an offence to be punished by
a heavy fine ; but the law itself does not say so,
nor did those who enacted it mean it to be so
construed. In the same way the favourite amuse-
ment of our Correspondent would, we are con-
fident, pass harmless through the ordeal of the
law, in every case where mere amusement, and
not gambling, was the object, if those who were
charged had the courage to appeal against con-
victions. The expence of fairly trying the ques-
tion has hitherto prevented both these subjects
from enjoying the benefit of a fair decision—and
the consequence is, that that which was not,
and is not, law, has been made and acted
upon as law. With regard, however to
gaming in public-houses--or rather we
should say gambling,—nothing is more clear,
than that it is both the intention of the
Legislature, and for the benefit of public morals,
that nothing of the kind should exist ; and
sadly would the Magistrates neglect their duty,
were they to tolerate it for an instant. There is
nothing so ruinous to the public, or so disgrace-
ful to society as gambling. It has ever been the
aim of all good governments to put it down,

whatever Corm it might assume; and wherever
gambling is proved, there can be no question
that the Magistrates have full power to resort to
the penalties inflicted by the law ; but where
mere amusement, and not gambling, is the
object, and clearly and indisputably the object,
we are confident that there is no just dispenser
of the law who would give his decision against
the party charged with offending it. The diffi-
culty is to draw the distinction, and it is a diffi-
culty of that nature which can only be solved by
the verdict of a Jury.--Morning Advertiser.
