tithes of Hornby Hall and Udford farms, which I occupy of the
Earl of Lonsdate, wherein I am stated to have " repeatedly
promised to pay him (Mr. B.) tithe of agistment," I feel my:'
self called upon. in justification of my own character, to give the
most unqualified contradiction to this assertion, through the same
public channel as the charge has been made. A statement
which appeared in a former letter of Mr. B. 's on this subject,
asserting that 1 had promised to pay up all arrears, on condi-
tion that the rector would not proceed against me, is, of course,
equally unfounded. Your insertion of the above in your next
paper will greatly oblige,
• " Sir, your most obedient servant,
"'THOMAS NELSON.
" Hornby Hall, September 25, 1833."

The subjoined is from the Carlisle Pao4-iot, and the
figure which the honourable member cuts is very deplo-
rable. We know not how Whigs feel in these matters, but
there is enough in the exposure to make a Tory do " a
deed without a name" :

" Mr. Brougham says he took his lease in 1821, and Lord
Lonsdale did not purchase the estate in question until 1828, in
order to induce a belief of our assertion, that he took the lease
after Lord Lonidale.purchased the property, being unfounded.
But what is the fact ? The prop rty was purchased for Lord
Lonsdale in 1823, by Mr. Hamlet; and Mr. Brougham knows
that it was.
" And now, we ask, and we do so with the utmost confidence,
where are the " errors," where the "misstatement of facts,"
where the "unfounded conclusions," with which Mr. Brougham
has charged us, in order to screen himself from the odious cir-
cumstances in which his conduct has involved him? We fall
bask upon our primary accusations with even more boldness
than when we put them forth,—that the honourable member
for Kendal, although a reformer of the first water, an assailant
of the church, a denouncer of clerical rapacity, a professed
tithe-hater, and a supporter of Mr. Blamire's tithes stay of suits'
bill, is yet a tithe-proctor and tithe-prosecutor himself; and
that he is so, not by the accident of birth, or of Profession, or
by any other necessity, but of his own choice, free-will, and
pleasure !"

After this exposure and recrimination, it is impossible
that the matter can rest here. Mr. JAMES BROUGHAM
has written two or three letters in his own defence, and,
with an unfortunate infatuation, he has endeavoured' to
meet the charges by a hardy. denial of their truth. He
has, however, not done himself any good by his letter-
writing. He has wriggled in the mire, and has conse-
quently sunk deeper. His letters make his case worse.
His defence adds effrontery 'to meanness, and his tithes
seem to be paid in brass. He held a rich sinecure under
his illustrious brother for nearly twelve months, and if
the abolition. of thiss-sinecute is likely to make 'him it
keener ferret in the tithe farm, we shall be sorry for it,
as well for the sake of the church as for himself. At any
rate his pretensions are now known ; his patriotism is
fairly appreciated, his motives are understood, his word
passes current for what it is worth, and therefore the less
he writes the better.

The Consol Market has been rather firmer to-day, and
the quotations for the Account closed at 8S ; Exche-
quer Bills are at 45 46, and India Bonds at 29 30.
The intelligence received from Lisbon has caused a con--
siderable degree of excitement among the holders of
Portuguese Scrip, which advanced as high as 24, and
subsequently receded to 22, and finally closed at 221
In none of the Northern Bonds has there been any par-
ticular variation. Russian may be quoted at 1011 2L
Dutch at 434 94-, Danish at 741, and Belgian 941 5.
Spanish Stock closed at 221, and Brazilian at 671 4, ex

We'have seen several private letters received by the
packet from Buenos Ayres, which give a very melancholy
picture of the state of things there. The population was
split into two factions, the Liberals and the ultra-Libe-
rals ; and the result of this party spirit was, that trade
was entirely at a stand still. A large number of vessels
were in port, and the quantity of European goods there
was immense. Heavy rains had fallen, and the commu-
nication with the interior hail, in consequence, been in-
terrupted.
We have late letters froth Gibraltar, which state that
the intercourse with Spain had not been interdicted, but
as fresh accounts were daily 'received 'of the progresS of
the cholera, it was expected that Government would very
speedily shut up the communication. Business was in a
very dull state at Gibraltar.
Advises from Senegal to the Bth August announce that
hostilities had commenced between the French colonists
and the Trazzas Moors. The cause of these had been
the incursions of the' Moors into the territory of Wallo,
which was a violation of the treaty between the two
parties. The Moors had already sustained considerable
loss ; and the Governor of Senegal, who commanded
the expedition in person, calculated upon their speedy
evacuation of the territory they had seized.
By letters from St. Petersburgh we learn that the fair of
Sing Novogorod had by no means equalled expectation.
The merchandize had gone off very slowly, and the con-
course of persons had been less than for some years.

MAN DROWNED.—An inquest was held on Friday before Ro-
bertson Gladstone, Esq., on the body of a man unknown, who
had fallen into the river from the King's Dock pier, on Thurs-
day night.

THE LATE COL. FLETCHER.—A monument to the memory
of the late Col. Fletcher has been erected, (by subscription) by
the friends of that gentleman, and many respectable persons in
the neighbourhood of Bolton. The monument is a figure of
Resignation, resting upon an urn. Itj is of the natural size,
in alto relievo, and was executed by Mr. Spence, of this town.
It is placed in the Parish Church of Bolton, and has given
universal satisfaction to all who have seen it.

FoncEny.—On Wednesday, Thosdlndson, late in the employ
of Mr. Thos. Rawson, of this town, was committed to take his
trial at the next Lancaster Assizes for forging Mr. Rawson's
signature to two cheques upon the bank of Messrs. Arthur
Heywood, Sons, • and Co.; one in June last, £B9 15s. the
amount of which was paid on its presentation; and the other
for £57 10s., which was presented for payment a few days ago
and led to his detection.

ATTEIMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—On Wednesday evening
eek, about eleven o'clock,' as two young men were proceed".
ing along the Park-road, on their way home, they were at-
tacked- by three men, who were armed with bludgeons. One of
the young men was immediately felled; the other being ex-
tremely powerful, succeeded in knocking down two of the mis-
creants ; and, upon assistance appearing, they all three do-
carriped, leaving behind them one of their weapons. Two of
the men were in the garb of sailors, the third was dressed in a
fustian jacket and trowsers.
CAtrioN.—A fellow of shabby genteel appearance, has, dur-
ing the last few days, been taking his rounds, with the osten-
sible design of collecting alms for the benefit of an unfortunate
woman, with five children, her husband having lately been
drowned whilst pursuing his calling, that of a fisherman—at
the same time producing a petition, apparently signed by seve-
ral parties of respectability, with the sums supposed to have
been given attached to their names. We have heard of several
respectable shopkeepers who have been induced to part with
their money to this speculating gentleman. It is almost need-
less to say that this fellow is an impudent impostor, and the
supposed signatures to the petition are forged.

On Wednesday evening, a gentleman from Manchester,
whilst in the pit of the Theatre-Royal, too intent, we suppose,
upon the performance, allowed some one to extract from his
pocket, a book containing a five pound bank note and half-a-
sovereign, together with some receipts, memorandums, &c.
describes the parties about him to have been, to all appearance,
very respectable. We would caution our readers against visit-
ing the public places of amusement with property on their per-
sons, as we understand there are great numbers of the light
fingered gentry from the metropolis, assembled here no doubt
for the laudable purpose of practising for improvement. .
A ludicrous circumstance occurred early yesterday morning,
in Upper Islington. An Irish awarder, alias driver of pigs, was
conducting his swinish multitude towards the Brunswick-road'
when his drove was very unceremoniously attacked by a cur
belonging to a butcher who was passing at the time. 'the dog
very much annoyed the. grunters, and they in return annoyed
our friend Pat, by capering about in all directions but the right
one. The thrarder, finding the pigs too many for him, remon-
strated with the owner of the-dog, who was enjoying the fun,_
and insisted upon his being called off. The butcher took no
notice of said remonstrance, consequently Pat let fly at the
whelp with his shillelah, and belaboured him most stoutly.—
This raised the he of the man of chops, and he fell upon the
drover. The upshot was a regular set-to. Pat, however, was
too Much for the butcher, who in a short tune cried peccari,
when Pat, with the assistance of the bystanders, who had been
highly amused, collected his drove and proceeded on his tour-7-
inuttenng to himself, " I'd not be anther spaking to the dartny
baste, only for the matther of the pigs."

BEAUMARIS.—OD Monday, week, at a meeting of the Corpo-
ration, the Rev. Owen Gethin .Williams, of Rhiwlas, was ap-
pointed to fill the office of Mayor, and Mr. Thomas Williams
and Mr. Hugh Roberts were elected Bailiffs for the ensuing
year. In the evening, the members of the Corporation, fifteen
in number, dined 'together at the Bulkeley,Arms Hotel. On
Monday next the uew officers will be sworn in ; and we under-
stand that Mr. Alderman Wright and Mr. Eyre Lloyd will
then be admitted as capital burgesses.

CONSUL AT HAVANA.—We have been obligingly favoured
with the following copy of a correspondence relative to the ap-
pointment of a British consul at Havana :
" London, 10th Sept., 1833.
" My Lord,—With reference to your lordship's letters of the
2d and 19th ult., enclosing a memorial from merchants at Liver-
pool connected with the Havana, and also from British mer-
chants resident in this latter city, representing the inconve-
niences which result from the want of a British consular agent
at the Havana, I am directed by Viscount Palmerston to ac-
quaint you, for the information of the memorialists, that the
King has been graciously pleased to appoint Mr. Charles D.
Tolme. of the house of Morales and Co. of the Havana, to be
British consul at that port.—l have the honour to be, my lord,
your lordship's most obedient, humble servant,
"'l'o Lord Viscount Sandon, &c. (Signed) G. SHEE."
CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN LORD DURHAM AND MR.
WA RD.—Cowes Sept. 28.—An unpleasant correspondence has
lately.passed between Lord Durham and G. H. Ward, Esq.,.of
Northwood House, which is the subject of general conversation
here. The facts have been related thus :—Lord Durham clam-
ed a right to drive his equipage, to and from Egypt house,
through a field situated one hundred yards or so distant from
his lordship's residence. The field has gates at each end. anll
the foot passengers have free ingress to it. Mr. Ward resisted
Lord D.'s alleged right to chive his carriage through the
ground, because he said it was his private property, and ordered
posts and rails to be placed at the entrance to prevent the earl's
carriage from proceeding, awl which posts or rails were after-
wards removed by the crew of the Louisa. Lord Durham wrote
a letter to Mr. Ward, thanking him for his " civility," an act
of which he (Lord L.) questioned the legality. Mr. Ward, in
reply, stated that nothing was further from his intention than to
annoy his lordship-: lint he maintained that, in law and in pos-
session, he had a right to do as he had done, and requested to
know the name of the noble earl's legal adviser, which his lord-
ship accordingly furnished,' and here the matteF rests for the
p re-:lent —Por ts m outh Iferald,
