I would wish it, my dear sir, to be clearly understood that your.

fair, public, unprecerved game, and, as such, is liable to indi-

New ORGAN. AT HUDDERSTIF.I.D.—On Thursday last two
performances of sacred music were given in St. Paul's Church;
Huddersfield, on the completion of a new organ erected by
Messrs. Robson and Son, St. Martin's-lane, London. It is a
powerful instrument, and the most unqualified praise was be=
stowed upon it. Mr. Perratt, the organist of the parish church;
presided . all the first titleift of Huddersfield was engaged, to
,give effect to some of the finest Selections from the Messiah. The
'collection in the morning was upward 4 of £lO, that Of the even-
inganore than £3O. Sir John Rantsilen, Bart.. BYrain, con-
tributed.4:so towards the expense. About £BOO has been col.!
lecte4Arbieli-will be. suflicient th,pay for the organ-and provide
a permanent salary fur the organist.
'ACTION ItETWEEN A MEXICAN AND AN AMERICAN SCHOON
En.—The MaiteLoni4e, arrived at Bourdeaux, brings letterS
from Vera Cruz, dated September lti. which • state, On the au-
thority of the journal of Mexico of the 3d of September, that art
action had taken place at sea between the ilfAntezuma schooner,
nelonging to the Mexican Republic, with a crew of 50 men and
.1 guns, and the American schooner Ingham, likewise of 4 guns.,
butt with a crew of only 24 men. The Anieritait schooner. after
a dreadful combat, was oblidged to rmt on shdre. The battle
was commenced by the American vessel.
SCHISMS TN THE 1111.,LBOURICE CAITTNET.—We have heard
from an authentic source, that the schisms which have been so
rife in the cabinet for the lost fortnight, are not likely to be
healed—that Burdett's letter to O'Connell hits confirmed many
a wavering Whig that Melbourne and company have gone too
far; that they cannot disprove the coalition ;—that O'Connell
will not be shaken off without exposing them ;—that
brief epistle from Derrvnane, charging Burdett with
madness or fatuity, has so disgusted numbers of BrOokes'ti
club, that they have declared themselves against the ministers
unless they denounce him again from the throne ;—all these
concurring circumstances have led to a breach, which cannot
he healed, and to the ascertainment, moreover, that if Sir R.
Peel is again made minister, he will command a majority in the
[louse without resorting to a dissolution of parliament:—Felix
Parley's Bristol Jouraal.—ln corroboration of these sentiments,
We cannot hut think that the concluding sentenCe-of O'Connell's
letter is full of ominous import—he says—" the present mi-
nistry virulently assailed by powerful enemies, and insidiously,
and therefore most basely, betrayed .by pretended friends, throw
cue moment of blessed light and salutary heat, upon the gloom of
an unfortunate country • BUT IT SLAY BE, like the lightningS
()late, TRANSITORY, arid only making the darknesS more
1 ideous."—Dan tvill prove a true prophet—the ministry, as is
said in our last Journal, will not last till the parliament meet.
The Bath conservative dinner is announced to take place at
the A.Fsembly Rooms on. Thursday, the 10th instant. About
(10 tickets have been disposed of:

LORD LIEUTENANT Op GLOUCRiTERSHIRE.—The Cheltenhani
.fouisiia/ says, " We have been assured that the Lord Lieu-
tenancy of Gloucestershire was offered to Lord Sherborue, but
declined by tiis lordship ; and will, it is understood, be con-
ferred upon Lord DuCie," Lord Segrate's Conduct on the
corporation bill, 14 said to have put him out of favour at head=
quarters.—Felix Fai•iey.
MR. SHRRIFF SALOMONS:—OD Thursday, a cotirt of alder.:
men was held at the Guildhall, London, for the purPnie of rea
ceiving the return of David,Salomons, Esq., as alderman of
the ward of Altigate. The tewn clerk inlormed the court that
the opinion of the attorney-general., the solicitor-general, the.
recorder, and common sergeant, of London. Sir \Villiain Fol-
lett, and Mr. Sergeant Mere Weather,
.had been taken, as the
declaration required to be made under the 9th Geo. IV. cap.
17, (the repeal of the test act) by all persons on their admis-
sion to corporate offices. These learned personages had given.
it as their opinion that this deelaratiiin should be signed either
within one month before, or on admiSsion to office; and that
if Mr. Salomons had not or would not sign it, it would be the
duty of the court to proceed as upon a void election. As Mr.
Salomons could, not, being a jetv, sign a declaration open hii
faith as a true Christian-"-th e_elect avasadeeliried void, and
the lord mayor was required to issue a precept for a new elec-
tion. It will be recollected that Sir John Campbell, the attor
ney-general, brought in a bill, under which Mr: Salomoisi holdi
the office he now fills. As that bill only referred to the Office
of high sheriff of counties, the sheriff must at least. for the pre-:
sent, rest content with being the first Yew raised to that inipor-,
tant judicial office in England, and we believe in any other
country in Christendom. • -
HINTS TO JOHN BULL—We should very mach like to knor;
if his Majesty's ships of war and the government steamers are
destined for no other service than that of conveying here anti
there the wives and daughters of connectiena of the cabinet? It
was but the other day a Grey stripling bumped in the bottom of
a new frigate :when conveying his relative, Lady Durham, to
St. Petersburgh, while her lord %vita putting the nation to hea7
yen knows what expence by capriciously choosing to take the
longest and most extravagant round to the capital of, the Czar:
If ladies do not choose to travel with their lords, we do net see
why, because they happen to be relatives of. economical whigs,
they are to put J'ohn,Bull to a thundering extra expence. But
this is not all. The Firebrand goverinneot steamer, we perceive,.
was ordered the other day to Waterford, for the purpose of con-
veying Lady Fanny Poirsonby (daughter of Lord Durham) to
England. Now we should like to tisk the Hon. Mr. Ponionby;
why the deuce could he not put his hand in his_ purse and pay.
for his wife's passage in the readier steamer? Was Lady Fan.--
ny Ponsonbr ticketed as "bn his Majesty's service," in order
to ensure het free passage in a government steamer? These,
people of England; be instances of whist patriotism and economy.
COCKERMOUTH TO WIT.—ME. Dykes, M.P. for Cocker-
mouth, has intimated to his constituents his intention of re;
linquishing the representation of that borough. We sincerer
hope that the vacancy will he filled by an honeit conservative;
and so carol the following stave:—
Who's for Cockermouth ? Parliament would-be men;
Dykes won't stand it, and so cuts his stiels
Up, conservatives! go it like goodly men,
And die whig radicals surely You'll lick.
Let each wife of Cockermouth, now lend unlock hertnoitth;
And speak to her spongy as loud as she can,
That there's no one so fitting, the House for to sit in,
Than an honest COMM' tire Parliament taunt—Age.
MARlUS:D.—Captain Buck, of Hartland Abbey, to. the Larlt"
Elizabeth O'Brien, fourth .daughter of the Marquis of Thomond;
That the bride and the bridegrooni are surely in lucks
Must to every mind be most clear; .
To her the bold Captain is nought but a flack,
While to hint she's most certainly deer.
The dinner to .1. ardy, Esq., M.P. for Bradford, given by hii
constituents on the 27th ult. is deserving of notice. Mr. Hardy
came forward at the last general election as a reformer, was su-
ported as a reformer, and elected as a reformer. Ile subsequently
opposed the present government. At this dinner he accounted
.for his change of opinions, indignantly denounced the coalition
with O'Connell, the contemplated spOliation of the Church in
Ireland, the great facilities given by ministers to the increase of
Popery, and the injustice to which Protestants in Ireland aro
exposed, as the causes of his abandoning the government party
His constituents applauded him for so doing; which we suppose.
the Chronicle will say proves no re-action.
RUSSIAN NAVIA 1. AIIMAMENTS.—Our Amsterdam enrroprnn.7;
eat writes to us, under Cate tee 2Sth of November, as follows
—" Arrivals from the Baltic; and intelligefice received by the
Russian mail, induce us to believe what hitherto we have not
been disposed to give credit to, that .a RUSiian squadron will
Shortly arrive in the Texei. A vessel bound from Riga to Hard-
burg states that serious preparation-,are being made in the im-
perial navy—that several detachiotints of sailors have been sent
to Bevel, as well as vessels laden with military stores. Thet
even pretend to know here that the Said squadron will consist of
six 'ships of' the line and Cs mane frigates, or m,-Et seventy-fours;
not including smaller veSsels; and what inh.caseg thiS presump-
tion is that the best-informed persons at the Hague speak of au
advance upon insmancess of a fall in foreign stocks, and even
of war; which has tint, however; met with general belief. But
as the official press offerS no eiplanation, we must wait for some-
thing confirnung this milltifaritois news. One fact is certain--
that our government is on terms of great intimacy with Russia;
and that it has been solicited to be still more so, which would be
scarcely prudent. We are williag to admit that government
may upon our porta to the squadron and undertake to revictual
it. hut nit unite our forces with if, as many persons hope."—

TYR AN N Y OF TiT W lc s.— The liberal whip understand thus
method of producing a sensation as profoundly as any body of
statesrni.* that ever existed. Their continental policy prodireed
a sensation in Poland—their transatlantic policy has produced
a sensation in the present rational republics of south America.
and their domestic policy has caused se-molting like a sensation
aiming the protestants of Ireland and the poor of England.
They are now producing en amazing sensation among the
pal ochial authorities; and the " one-and-threepenny" *Poor
Laws Amendment act is managed With such dexterity, that it
promises- in a short time to•beceme a complete local Dr. Fran-
cia.. At the vestry meeting of St. Saviour's,. held On Monday
last, for the purpose of opposing the introductien of the -bill into
thatparish, tbs• local authorities were nbsoltrtely frightened at
the idea of,Vrending the commissioners-if they spoke dis-
respectfully asithe commissioners, or Of the inhumanity of the
bill, it was,ihey said, Most likely that they would enter' the
parish immediately, for indeed the e ommissiovers had said that
the noisy vestry meeting ofLambeth—in which it will bi recol-
lected the cne-and-threepenny" dieting was severely com-
mented upon—had induced them to enter that.parish inmordi-
ately. They were to forego the right, which Englishmen had
hitherto possessed of manfully delivering their opinions upon a
measure Intimately affecting their rights, lest they. Aright irritate
the sensitive whig commissioners of SoMerset Douse. If the.
commissioners did, as it is stated, hastily enter the parish of
Lambeth flees: use the " one-and-threepenny" and unconstite.
tioual act was severely commented upon, what an admirable
specimen does it afford of whip deliberation and liberality ! In
fact, this centeralising Measure hag placed _three-furlhs of the
warkrtig portion of the parochial authorities of England corn:
