saturtrag to jftto!Ura £ '0 Uoøtø. LONDON, DEC. 6. THE Paris papers of Thursday arrived this morn- ing (Saturday). Some of them refer to letters from Madrid of the 25th ult. from which it appears that new efforts were about to be made for the purpose of putting down the insurrection in the North. Mina, in his report to Government, has represented the state of the Basque provinces as improving. Six millions of reals (60,0001.) had been forwarded to him from Madrid; four more were to have been sent on the 25th. The failure of all the measures hitherto tried is ascribed to the want of energy of the Ministers, to whom their execu- tion has been intrusted, and not to want of resources and of means. A great deal seems to be expected from the joint exertions of Mina as Commander, and Llauder as Minister of War. The appointment of the latter ap- pears to have imparted a popularity to the Cabinet, Which it had latterly become singularly deficient in. The contract for the loan has been awarded to Messrs. Ardouin and Ricardo, at the rate of 60 per cent., and 3 per cent. commission. One half of the loan is to be carried to 66 per cent., in the event of there occuring a rise to a certain extent in the public funds. Prince Talleyrand is reported to have positively declined re- turning as an Anbasssador to the British Court, and the Duke de Broglia is named as his successor. Lord Brougham appears the principal object of attraction in the Parisian circles—literary and political. On Wed- nesday his Lordship dined with the King. His Majesty's brig Scorpion arrived at Falmouth on Tuesday from Lisbon, whence she sailed on the 25th ultimo. Affairs were up to that date progressing fa- vourably in the capital, and would tend to the permanent establishment of tranquillity. The Government con- tinued popular, and the Ministers, on the whole, were giving satisfaction. Letters from Brussels of Tuesday's date arrived on Thursday. They report that a courier arrived from Berlin, despatched by M. Breson, to announce that the affair of Luxemburgh was under serious discussion in that city, where the Emperor of Russia was then so- journing (he left it on the 25th). It was added that the question would be decided against Belgium, with a threat of intervention if it did not submit to evacuate the Grand Duchy with a good grace.—The letters go on to say," Two General Officers, who have been allowed to reside here with their families for the last year, have received orders to proceed with their respective staffs to take the command of their divisions—one atTrimonde, and the other at Mechlin. Other similar preparatory measures are taken, and will be continued, proportion- ed to whatever demonstrations may be made on the part of the memy. But if the English public have time just net to think of this country at all, it must not believe the ridiculous reports which are abundantly afloat, such as each Belgian battalion having received gi reinforcement of 300 men, and the like exaggerations, Sopied with perfect faith into London papers from sources here the most unauthentic. It is enough to know, that in a week from this day the Belgian army could, with perfect ease, show a front of from 40,000 to 50,000 men on any threatened point of the frontiers, well disciplined, well officered, and well disposed to try the brunt of war with at least an equal number of the enemy. The King is, as ever, ready at a moment's notice to put himself at the head of the army. But no one seems to expect, any more than fear, an attack. In fact, until the return of the Prince of Orange from Berlin, and his appearance at the head-quarters of the Dutch forcesj'"Ít'would be idle to form any conjectures on the subject." Papers frotn Jamaica to the 29th of October, a month later than by the previous arrivals, have been received. The Legislative Session had been opened on the 7th by a Speech from the Governor, in which he recommended some alterations in the Militia Laws, and also considered it advisable that power should be vested in the Execu- tive to issue special commissions for the trial of criminals in cases where it might be considered advan- tageous to bring the culprit to justice on the spot where the offence was committed. He also stated that he considered it quite impossible to carry on the new system of apprenticeship with the present number of Magistrates, and that lie had sent home strong remon- strances on the subject.-On an answer to the Address being moved in the House of Assembly, a long debate ensued, in which it was contended that a greater num- ber of Magistrates would only increase the difficulties and impede the working of the system. A paragraph to that effect, and casting a slight reflection on the stipendiary Magistrates, was drawn up in the answer, but it does not appear whether it was suffered to remain or not, as neither the answer itself nor the result of the debate is given. A Committee was, however, appointed to inquire into the causes of the general discontent among the apprentices, and forty summonses had already been sent out. An almost universal deter- mination on the part of the apprentices not to work for wages during their own hours is said to have been entered into.

Mr. Hudson, the messenger who was sent to Sir R. Peel, arrived in town at two o'clock yesterday morning. He overtook Sir Robert at Rome, and the Right Hon. Baronet, in consequence of the despatches he received,was to set out thence on the 26th ult. on his return to England. lie is, consequently, expected in London on Monday or Tuesday. Mr. Hudson returned in an open boat from Calais, having made the most unprecedented journey to Florence and back upon record. We have already stated, says the Sun, that Writs for .a New Election are prepared. We now state that the Par- liament will be dissolved in a few days after Sir Robert's arrival. Let the Reformers look to it:—Union is strength Be that their motto—and the cause of Reform is sure. It is generally supposed, says the Courier, that in the event of Sir Robert Peel taking office, he will apply to ■k°rd Stanley, Earl Ripon, the Duke of Richmond, and Sir panics Graham to join the Cabinet but we do not see how lt is possible they can join it unless the Cabinet were to be Pledged to oppose all efficient reform of the Church." Lord Mansfield has written to the Duke, intimating, that if the Tory government professes reform principles, it will not have his support.—Whitehaven Herald. The following notice was on Thursday issued by the of England ;—" The Governor and Company of the «ank of England do hereby give notice, that on and after the 4th inst. they will be ready to receive applications for j^ans upon the deposit of Bills of Exchange, Exchequer Bills, East India Bonds, or other approved securities, such loans to be paid on or before the 15th of January next, with interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum, and to be for sums of not less then 20001. each ."—It will be seen by this announce- ment, that the Directors have fixed the rate of interest at 4 lnstead of 3t per cent. as on the last occasion of these tem- 2 Porary loans.-On the same day the Court of Directors gave notice, that with a view to afford further accomodation to the public, it was determined that henceforward the under- mentioned days only will be observed as holidays in the Jjjansfer Offires—viz., Christmas-day, Good Friday, 1st of 1st of November. It has been stated in most of the London Journals that Sir James Graham, the late First Lord of the Admiralty, j)ad declined to receive the pension of 20001. a-year to which f1 e was entitled. This appears to be erroneous the truth P that by the Act of Parliament brought into the House of Y°m,nons by Sir James himself, and passed on the 2oth of £ uly> 1834, pensions not exceeding 20001. a-year may be granted to persons who have served for a period not less i^an two years as First Lord of the Treasury, as one of the wri"cipal Secretaries of State, Chancellor of the Exchequer, ~,lrst Lord of the Admiralty, President of the Board of ^°ntrol, or as President of the Board of Trade; but the Act ?°«tains the following limitations—namely that there shall I e «o greater number than four such pensions hereafter to e granted existing at the same time; and that when any '"dividual shall seek to obtain any one of the pensions be- lore-njentioned, his application to the Lords of the Treasury a'l be made in writing, subscribed by himself, containing statement not only of his services and his grounds for ^aiming the pension, but a specific declaration that the rv^ttnt of his income from other sources is so limited that {!'? Private fortune is inadequate to maintain his station in • The last limitation of course altogether prevents Sir ^ames Graham from applying for, and obtaining, a pension, in i!le is ^titled to credit for introducing that new provision r the Act, which will, in all probability, exclude him when e ls«ot employed from ever receiving any emolument or Pension from the State. r The penalty for the using any unstamped weighs or measures after the 1st of January next is 201. In commercial matters there is, notwithstanding the advance state of the season, and the consequent limited de- mand for manufactured articles for northern parts, a good deal of activity prevailing. In colonial produce especially, extensive transactions have been entered into within the last week, and generally at improved prices. A visible effect has been produced already in lessoning the pressure formoney, by the resolution of the Bank of England to advance snms upon approved securities. Dr. Allen, recently appointed to the See of Bristol, attended Bow Church yesterday, when his appointment was confirmed with the usual forms. The late Lord Chancellor was pleased to present, on the day before he retired from office, the Rev. Richard Ha- worth to the rectory of All Saints and Saint John, Hunting- don, vacant by the death of the Rev. E. Richards.—Cam- bridge Chronicle. The Bishop of Winchester has augmented the rectory of Morestead, near Winchester, which is in the gift of the see, by a rent-charge of 151. per annum, in perpetuity; and the governors of Queen Anne's Bounty have met this augmentation by a benefaction of 3001. This is one of a series of augmentations by the Bishop of Winchester which have been made by the recent act of Parliament, at the ex- pense to the see of present and future income, exceeding 4001. per annum. 4001. per annum. A splendid Conservative dinner was held at Ipswich, on Tuesday last. Three hundred sat down and one hundred were refused tickets, and the room not being large enough to accommodate them. Sir C. Broke Vere was in the chair. Lord Cloncurry has addressed a letter to the Editor of the Dublin Evening Post, on the subject of the present crisis, in which he says, the liberty, the property, and I believe, the personal safety of every individual in the three kingdoms, depend on the speedy discomfiture of the Tories, and of their great Captain. The Mayor of Liverpool has declined complying with a requisition to call a public meeting of the inhabitants of that town, for the purpose of expressing their ardent attachment to his Majestys person, and their firm deter- mination to support his Majesty in the just exercise of his prerogative. Lord Kenyon, one of that numerous class of persons whose zeal outruns their discretion, has published an address to the "Protestants of Great Britain," the tendency of which is to inflame the worst passions of human nature. As if political strife were not already excited to a sufficient degree by political motives, it must be embittered by the addition of religious rancour, and sectarian intolerance. The time is now come," says the Noble Lord, to declare for real vital Christianity, or to let infidelity sweep away all moral restraints, every social tie, every domestic comfort. The battle is to be fought in and for Ireland." Now, we would ask, what must be the feelings of the Irish people, when they hear themselves denounced as infidels, by a man who is said to represent a powerful party in the Church of England ? To have the brand of infidelity stamped upon a nation's forehead, because it wishes to have the greatest grievance that ever oppressed a people redressed Is there a Catholic heart that does not swell with indignation at so foul a charge ? And this is the party whose policy is to give peace to Ireland! Yes, when the raging conflagration is extinguished by pouring oil upon the flames I-Sun.. After the death of the late Earl of Derby there were seven thousand guineas found in a drawer of his bureau which must have remained there for a considerable time, as it is several years since the circulation of guineas ceased. His Lordship a short time ago found two bank notes of 10001. each in another drawer, of which he had not the slightest recollection. Two very serious fires occurred in Liverpool on Tuesday. The first broke out at half past four in the morn- ing at the extensive steam Corn-mill in the Cliaucer-street, known as the Castle Miles. The entire premises were laid in ruins, the damage being estimated at 10,0001. very little of which was insured.—The second conflagration took place at a large warehouse in Covent Garden, occupied as stores by cotton and provision dealers, and the flames were not got under until property to the value of between 5 and 6,0001. had been destroyed. In this instance the loss is in a great measure covered by insurance. THE Hop TRADE.—The duty upon the growth of the present year having been officially declared at 329,9361. 17s. 9d. which was much greater than was anticipated, has suspended business. The duty for the year is much larger than for many years past, it having produced to the revenue last year but 272,8781.; in 1832, 241,7701. and in 1831, 304,1221. The total amount of duty paid upon hops, includ- ing the old rate of Id. per lb., the three 5 per cents, on ditto, and the new duty, is 18s, 8d. per cwt. The prices of hops range as follow:—Kent pockets, from 95s. to 120s. per cwt.; Sussex ditto, 92s. to 1103. per cwt.; Yearlings, at 56s. to 95s. per cwt.; and old Hops from 18s. to 50s. per cwt. j Farnham pockets (new crop) are 168s. to 180s. per cwt. POOR LAWS.—It appears to be the plan of the Poor Law Commissioners in the first instance to render their ser- vices where they are most needed. The Act will first be brought into operation in those counties where the poor rates press most heavily—where the inhabitants are most pauperised—and with this view several of the Assistant Com- missioners have commenced operations in Sussex, Hamp- shire, Berkshire, Bedfordshire, Kent, and some of the Me- tropolitan parishes. The other counties are to be proceeded with in the order in which -they stand with regard to the amount of poor-rates levied upon them. The first objects to which the Assistant Commissioners direct their attention are the administration of relief, the uniting of parishes, and the management of the poor in the workhouses. It is stated that in the counties above named these functionaries have been welcomed by the respectable rate-payers, by the la- bourers, and even by the paupers. If this feeling becomes general, as we have reason to expect it will-if the more se- vere parts of the Bill are modified by judicious manage- ment—and if those Gentlemen who, either from their wealth or official stations, have influence in the country, will lend a co-operating hand, much benefit we hope will shortly be experienced both by the rate-payer and the pauper, and the promoters of the measure will find their reward in the im- proved interests of the soil. ARCTIC LAND EXPEDITION.—Letters arrived on Fri- day at the office of the Royal Geographical Society, from Captain Back, dated the 7th of May. He was actively en- gaged in making preparations for his departure for the coast; and though, under all circumstances, he had resolved to divide his party, and take only one boat and crew with him, his spirits were high, and he was convinced that no real dan- ger need thus be apprehended. The Esquimaux to the eastward of Coppermine River are considered uniformly gentle and friendly to strangers. In this direction they are not brought in contact with any hostile tribes. Captain Back's supply even of dry food for a party reduced as he proposes wiil probably be ample. The labour of transport- ing stores for them will be less then if all proceeded, and those left behind will push forward assistance during the the season, to meet the advance on their return in autumn. We earnestly trust that these anticipations may prove cor- rect. We can have no further accounts till August or Sep- tember next, when we trust the gallant traveller will bring the news. INTERESTING DISCOVERI Es.-Inmaking the excava- tions under the late House of Commons, the Speaker's House, &c., some interesting ancient works have been dis- covered. A Purbeck marble floor, chequered in squares of ten inches, was found four feet below the surface, as also two openings of what must have been splendid windows, and a few feet outside the northernmost of these is to be seen the ancient well where King John was christened, and which well is evidently of Roman construction. Almost every day brings to light some further evidence of the sound judgment, good taste, and superior skill of the English ar- chitects, at least 500 years before the school-master" was heard of. lu the meantime the Speaker's house, in which furniture, books, plate, porcelain, &c., were commingled in one universal chaos, most curious to look upon, and all but hopeless as to the possibility of being arranged for a long time, has been, to the surprise of every one, restored to the same good order and tasteful arrangement which character- ized it before the late conflagration. There must certainly have been uncommon exertions, directed by good judgment, to produce this agreeable effect. All the pictures have been saved, but many fine prints are lost.-Some time ago, whilst a number of labourers were employed to a certain extent through the Vanxhall-bridge-road, in order to form a new common-sewer from Westminster to the Thames, various fragments of wearing apparel were found, which has led to the discovery of a cemetry, which, in the melancholy year of 1665, received so many hundreds of the Ill-fated inhabi- tants of London, who perished by the awful ravages of the plague. In the centre of the fields formerly stood a large building, called" the Pest House," and it was to this that all who could reach its portals before the fatal malady had overpowered them fled for succour, and as fast as they de- parted from this world they were interred in dikes dug for the purpose within the vicinity of the house. Of this mass of buildings there are at present considerable remains, and a large coffin was the other day discovered, containing the skeletons of five persons, in a complete state. As usual, upon the exhumation and exposure of the bodies to .the air, the bones crumbled into dust.

The number of Friendly Societies which appear on the face of the Accounts is a striking feature of the Institution, as evincing a desire in the Members for a firmer security for their property, and a wish to be effectually protected from the ruinous effects of dishonesty or mismanagement. The number of t t'" ito'" l"ese Societies winch have placed themselves under the safeguard of the Savings Bank varies from 90 to 170, so that taking 100 as a low average, there are above 2800 virtual Depositors of this interesting class.

London, Gloucester, Brecon, and Carmarthen ROYAL MAIL. FAIRS CONSIDERABLY REDUCED, Very nearly as low as the Post Coaches on the same line of road. PASSENGERS going from CARMARTHEN, LLA.Y- DILO, LLANDOVERY, BRECON, &c. to LONDON, may have the preference of proceeding from Gloucester immediately after the arrival of this Mail at Gloucester, by a Post Coach, or going through by Mail, or remaining at Gloucester for the night and going on the following morning by a Day Coach. The regularity of this Mail and the punctual way in which the time is kept, it is generally acknowledged, are equal to any in the kingdom. The Contractors, therefore, humbly hope for a con- tinuation of that support that has been given to this conveyance for many years over any other on the road. IMPORTANT TO THE AFFLICTED. DR. WRIGHT'S CEEBRATED PEARL OINT- 11) MENT. Under the sanction and recommendation of eminent Gentlemen of the Faculty, and patronized by the Nobility, Clergy, Gentry, & c. For the Cure of Cancerous, Scrofulous, and Indolent Tumours, and Inveterate Ulcers Glandular Affections of the Neck, Erysi- pelas, Scurvy, Evil, RINGWORM, SCALD HEAD, Piles, White Swellings, Ulcerated Sore Legs (if of 20 years' standing), Chil- blains, Chapped Hands, Burns, Scalds, Sore Nipples, Bruises, Grocers' Itch, and all Cutaneous Diseases also, an infallible Remedy for Sore, Weak, and Diseased Eyes. In several Gout and Rheumatic Cases it has proved highly beneficial. In every one of the above distressing complaints, this invaluable Ointment has effected the most triumphant cures after all other meallS had failed. In addition to the testimonials of surgeons, and certificates by far too numerous for publication, the following certificate from that eminent and distinguished practitioner, Charles Aston Key, Esq. Senior Surgeon of Guy s Hospital, London, cannot fail to establish the oonfidence of all persons in this excellent remedy, and the Proprietor strongly reoommends all Families, Schools, and Grocers, never to be without it. WONDERFUL TESTIMONIAL. From the numerous certificates which I have seen of the efficacy of Wright's Pearl Ointment, I have been induced to try it in several seve- ral severe cases of Porrigo, Herpetic Ernptions, the Ulcus Exedeus, and some other forms of obstinate cutaneous disease, and I am able to bear testimony to Hi great utility. (Signed) C. A. KEY." Guy's Hospital, London, Jan. 23d, 1833." Sold in Pots, at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each, by the Proprietor, ZACCHEUS HUNTER, 44, Webber row, Blackfriars-road, Lon- don, and by all respectable Medicine Venders and Druggists in the United Kingdom. N. B. Be careful to ask for Dr. Wright's Celebrated Pearl Ointment," as there is a spurious article offered at Is. lild. (the genuine never having been sold under 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d.), and notice particularly that the late Proprietor's name, A.IIawkes, Dudley," is engraved on the Government Stamp, and signed with red ink on the bill of directions by the present Proprietor, ZACCHEIS HCNT £ R. As much mischief is frequently produced by the indiscri. initiate use of strong purgative Medicine, the Proprietor strongly recommends Dr. WRIGHT's FAMILY CATHARTIC PILLS, prepared from the Doctor's private Recipe, which will be found so penile in their operation, that Females, under every circum- stance, and even children, may take them with the greatest pos- sible advantage and safety.
