THE PERSIAN PRINCES IN LONDON, 1835, 1836. From the top of Mrs Wyndham Lewis's house, in Park Lane, the Princes witnessed a review, on the anniversary of the great day of Waterloo :— "There were, as t understood, nearly five thou- <and men of the Guards and household troops on the netd; the rapid precision with which every movement and manoeuvre was performed was ad- mirably calculated to strike and astonish the Per- sians. What IU'rJgers!' (fortified stockades or bulwarks), said they, when the infantry formed their impregnable squares, and stood prepared to reeetve cavatry. One woutd say that each sltllger was a solid mass: not a foot nor an arm is out of ptace. See it is a white tine, and a red tine, with thesteet gtittering ahove. Ah, took! they kneel, they fire,-barikillah, bariaillah admirable" As for Ti'nour, he was quite unable to contain ni-nseir. wit cheeK, eye, and outstretched neck, tike a bird on the wing, fot- every movement as if he would have preci- pitated himself duwlI af\1on the Ah, wc!) done, we'l done exciaimcd he, as the horse- guards made a spjendid charge these feHows wit) do the business. But what do they stop for?' con- tinued he, looking b!ank, as the whote drew up at the proper p)ace, quite forgetting that it was not a charge in earnest. 'Ah! took at these horses,' said he again, as two or three horses with empty saddles ran across the ptain in a very business-tike styte; their riders have got shot now (g"Ia khour- dund.)' But when the light cavalry took to skir- mishing with the retreating arti'.lery, and harassing them,se!on)esregtes, without e!osing, he lost all patience; I A i Mawcrt.ttt/—Ah, cowar<ts!' ex- etaimed he; why don't you charge at once tike men ? charge ye—and the guns are taken.' "In a little white thewhote bodyofnyingartiHery swept by at speed, a splendid sight: What do you think of that?' said some of the bystanders. *.4A, Piderish &e t«!eMM<Z" returned he with a shake of the head; may then fathers be roasted we know too much of these concerns, to our cost. These were the things that Lindsay(Sir Henry Bethune Lindsay) had, when he met us near Komaishaii and when we were gattoptng np with our horsemen, and thought we were carrying everything before us, he stopped abort all at once, and blew us to the devi).' ''The elder prince was more collected, and con. Nnfd hia)se)f, for the must part, to moderate excta. matioos of praise; or, if questioned as to his opinion of the beauty of such or such an evolution, he Tou)d say 'it was perfection,—eoutd not be better.' But wilen at tength, after some heavy nring both of artillery and infijjiryo with a beautifully sustained disptay of file-firilig from the tatter, the smoke btew away, disclosing one tong and perfect Hne of troops, as steady as a rock, Hanked by the terribte battenes that had just been thundering, he was quite sur- prised out of all his moderation, and after a few mo"( expressive ejacutationa, he turned to me and said, uitah Saheb Fraser, the horsemen of Iran are the best in the wor)d, as you know we)); but if there were a hundred thousand of them here on the spot, theycoutd not touch that tine;—that tine! what could touch It The review was over, the show at an end; yet sti)i he stood gazing, tit) at tcngth the movement of those around him woke him from a sort of trance, which no doubt had as much to do with the past as the present. He heaved a deep sigh, and said, as we passed on to descend, What are a hundred baits ur operas to this?' "-Fraser's A'arra/tt'e.

JlJElll'llYR TYDVIL, SATURDAY, Peb. 17, IMS. The Reform Bi)l was to be a permanent mea- sure. So said Lord Grey, who, after <]fty years of exclusion, had one short year of power. and in that short year took his revenge of his contemptuous co.mtry. The Constitution is complete;" cried the derrepid lvliig, the Constitution is comptete," echoed the whote tribe of the smaMer Whiss, us they ran up from aH corners of the ?Ut?tusetznui?)!)U'en'orse 'dc of prefcrntetit which the Jackat had provilicd .] tor them out of the puh!ic carcase. \re were then toM that the Reform Ui!l was ?x<-d ? ever.

DroHgham, Atthorp, Md. bourne, and tim other Meopr.tbics of the first yenr" of British Reforn). Hut the hopes of Po!itici;ms are often va;1I a theirpfon.ises. Every year since the laying v f this fjundation stone, has seen it stripped to the tight, hoisted up to the scorn of the rahbh.— ? shape, weight and materiat declared to be equaUy ridiculous,—its inscriptions supprsede" by the scribb!ins:s of every dunce that co," d handle the revo!ntionary si)a,le.

AH the rest ioin the cry' as if the Reform BiH had been only an innocH* I !ation of the pesfi!ence,—an anticipation of political death,—a volunteer importation of the p)agne. One thing is p!ain—that Radicalis'n '? ? determined to get rid of the Bit! for the sake ot the few restraints which it places on the utter hcense of the rabbtc.

"bo does not save the rabbte the trouble ofdotng a"y I thing on earth than stripping their betters auJ j living on the plunder of the fand. Within the last few nights two accusatiol t have been brought against the unhannv Hefvrl1J Bill.

Such is the severe.punishment for disobeying the orders of the agent, who had gfvcn strict command that none were to go into that part of the mine on any pretence whatever.-Ibid. FtKE—FouR LtVES LosT—On the morning of Thursday sennight, about one o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises of a marine store dealer, in Old Gravel Lane, Southward The Hames burst forth from the shop occupied by a Mrs Parke, who, with her eteven children, were att preserved. The house soon presented one burning maas, and being fitted wi)h todgers, a frightful scene presented itsetf. Some escaped over the roof, others threw themselves from the windows into the street, and an aged woman named Sweeney, and her three ctatdren, perished in the names. About nine o'clock the remains of the unfortunate woman Sweeney, and one of her children, were found in the ruins. A child, which was thrown out of window, has since died in the hospifat. The husband of the deceased Mrs Sweeney died suddenly on Sunday week, leaving a widow and three children unprovided for. This unfortunate family was in a starving state; they att slept in one room; and on Wednesday the mother applied to a charitable institu- tion connected with Surrey Chapel, tn the Btackfriars Road, and the case having been found to be one of real distress, coats and food were ordered to be sent to the lodgings of the widow and her children. On Thursday the coats and food arrived, but the wretched widow and her children had perished. On Monday an inquest was hetd on the bodies, and the jury returo<-d a verdict that—"the deceased Mrs Sweeney and her children were accideataUy burnt to death

DECLINE OF MR O'COSSELL'S I\FLUE!<CE.— It is not amount the trades atone (hat this change has become apparent. The gtoas of his popularity and power has atready disappeared. He attacked the tradesmen's meati-t-, of existence. T!te trades execrate him. He truck es to the Ministry, trem- hting about Canada, and the trish Radicats, his own pupits, utter curses-not )oud, but deep. He trie< to shuffle off a Relief Bill from the poor—and thus many interests being a0'<'cted, his influence is atmost ?one. The Freeman's Journal, the Radical orgaii of heland, feeting this to be the fact, is no longer an out-and-out supporter ofMrO'Connet!. Thatjourna) has just pub)ished the fact that tbeEngtish Radicals opeoty dectare their disgust. and denounce Mr O'C——. This announcement was echoed in read- ing room)!, Hbraries, and clubs. "They could do no )ess, )t was scandalous to desert them," were sentences repeatedly toudty uttered by many of the Liberats too; white all of them fee) that, as the Freeman says-" The absence of even a few Mem- bers from the House oa the evenings fixed for the ballots for the trish ejection petitions woutd give such a preponderance to their enemi all would ensure their triumph," and seat the fate of their party and the Ministry, adding—" We do feet the friends of Canada have reason to complain of our representa- tivef." The Freeman goes farther, touching the Poor Law BiH, and says—We won)d prefer the present Bill to none at at); and we believe the great majority of the Irish people woutd much rather see Mr O'ConneH endeavouring to remedy its defects thaa opposing both the principle and details of the measure." RADICAL INTERPOLATION OF STANDARD WoRKS. —The enemies of good order and of (he British con- stitution seem to be using unscrupulously evay effort to accomptish their pernicious designs; they are treacherously entisting conservative authorities ialiteratureontheirside,and corrupting onr stan- dard works, to an edition of Johnon's Dictionary, pubtishedassueh bya weH-known booksettingnrm in London, with the date of 183< the word tory is said to mean "one who has principtea hostite to liberty in church and state. The high respectability of the pubtishers must readity ubsotve them from any participation in a trick of this nature; but the effect of the corruption is that, being in a cheap edition, it will be received with all the weight due to Dr. Juhnson'a character by thousands who have neither the meant nor the wish to detect its fatsehood. In the reat Johnson's Dictioonry, as it was known in his own days, the word tory is explained, one who adheres to the ancient c<M's<Uution of the state, and to the apostolic hierarchy of the Church of England -oppo8ed to a witig." If the fi-ietids of the state and of the church woutd watch a little more nar- rowty the doiugs of their antagoni-ts, it is prob.ibte that thousands of simUm' frauds and fatsehoods woutd be brought to tight. THE CLERGY AMD JotNT-STOCK CoMPAMES—— Our Clerical readers, as well as a)) who have an interest in Joint Stock Banks and Trading Com- panies, will hear with pleasure that the subject, which we brought under their notice litst week in a paragraph extracted from the Time. has forced itself upon the attention of Government, and has drawn forth a Bill from the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer. The object of the Bill in question is to )egahze at) Companies (pt-e?ousty iUega') in which shares are held by Oergymen, so that 'hey can sue and be sued in the Courts ,,f Law. The flaw in their incorporation has been )ong known to many Banking Compares, and they have frequently en- deavoured, we understand, toinst.t into Mr Spring Rice the necessity for an amendment of the taw but with the usuat business-Uke habits of a Whig Government, (where "opar.y.manoeuvre is involved ) the Chancellor of the Exchequer permitted the matter to rest until a decision of a Court of Law fell out on a pending case to the detriment of one of the companies.

A BEREAVED FAMILY.—On Sunday evening. the 28th u)t., Hugh Jones, of Hotyhead. quarter mastcrand pilot of H.M. Packet Otter was drowned in Kingston harbour. He tpft the vesset on Sunday to go up to Dublin, whence he returned in the evening with the seven o'ctock tram to Kingston. He was last seen tying fast asleep ou the jetty about eight o'clock, w'thhts basket and hat atatittte distance. from him; the person who saw him, a master of a vessct lying "'? b-irbour, endeavoured by every means to awake htm, but was unabte. consequently he went for a pohce officer to take charge of him, with whom he returned to tire ptacc where he had tcft him, but he was nussmg, the basket and hat being sti)t i" the same ptacc. It ts supposed that during the purson's absence he awoke, and being so unconscious, through the effects of steep, of the distance to the side .c of the Jetty, t'c walked over, wmte searching for his hat and basket.

They aiso find that George Railley, then master, did his utmost to save the fives of the passengers, and the vesse), except inasmuch as he did not go below to the engine-roofn to see what stopped the engines considering he should have done. They also find that the great number of pigs in the vesset acceterated her destruction; and they recommend thatanappH. cation should be maffe to the proper authorities for some salutary regulations in the future navigation of steamers on this coast, and that life-boats, and such means should be resorted to for the preservation of hfb, &(-.

The 'Alert packet, Licit. 'Norrington commander, arrived early this mornmg frotn Halifax with m:uts, passengers, and Governmcat dnspatches, iiaving sailfd on the 20th-ult. The information brought by this vcs.el from both the C,lladas has been anticipated by the )ast arrives from New York. As, however, the destruction of the Caroline steam boat near yavy Island was known in "Nova Scotia, the inhabitants were very apprehensi ve it might leaJ to a rupture between the two countries, judging from the complexion given to the affair in most of the American journals. The enthusiasm prevailhi;: in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Frcdcrickton, and other dependencies, is described as most universal in favour of the Government and Constitution, and on that account every soidicr might have been spared to go to Lower Canada. The Cornwallis, 74, Captain Sir R. Grant, had returned with the 65i:h Hegiment to Halifax from Jamaica, after EL very expeditions voyage, and having landed the troops had again sailed for St. John's. New Brunswick, with some companies of the 34th Regiment. The spirited conduct and ability of Sir Francis Bond Head were a general theme at Halifax, and votes of thanks had been passed to him by the House of Assembly at Frcdcriekton and from other quarters. With such good opinion of his qualities for Lieut. Governor every one was astonished that he should be permiued to retire, and considered it a most (leplorablc event just now for the Colony. Prom information acquired at Halifax, through various channels, it appears certain that the rebellion prematUrely burst out, it not being intended by the chiefs that the nrst demonstration should be made before the 17th January at the earliest, and part of the plan of nrst operations decided on was the burning of Quebec, Montreal, and other large towns simultaneously. Papineau, the elder, was supposed to have gone to and the papers discovered or seized belong- ing the rebel are transmitted to the Government officially by the present packet, and passengers by her, report that it is generally considered on the other side that they wilt involve Mr Hume and Mr Roebuck in treasonable charges for certain. The wind having suddenly shifted again to the north- ward and eastward, with a heavy fa]) of snow, the Mediterranean and Lisbon steamer is not likely to arrive to-day. PROPOSED CANADIAN FENCtBLE REGIMENT. A proposal, of which the following is the abstract, has been made by Wm. Alexander Mackinnon, Esq., the Member for Lymington, to her Majesty's Govern- ment That considerable distress is felt at this time in the Western Highlands of Scotland, from want of em- ployment. "That an active and hardy race of young men arc left destitute, and prove a burden to their families and to the landed proprietors. That these men are willing to emigrate, and that their attachment to the mother country would continue as colonists. "That in the year 1794 some fencible regiments were embodied in the Highlands, who afterwards went and settled in some of our colonial and have always evinced a strong attachment to the mother country. The offer has been made by Mr Mackinnon to raise one regiment of 1,000 men, or more, from the population of the clan that bears his name, and neighbouring clans, on the following conditions :— That every man who is enlisted shati be entitled to 5Q acres of land in Canada, which shall be assigned.him if his services are no longer required in that province, after the expiration of three years. The non-commis- sioned ofncers to have a proportionate number of acres. M. to have the disposal of the commissions, the regiments to receive their pay and clothing from Government. Officers on the half-pay of che British Army to be eligible to take commissions, retaining their lialf-pay. H At the end of three service, the rcgilllrnt to be disembodied, and located in their land adjoining each other, which land they are to retain in fee on condition of doing exercise nnder their officers in the course of the year, and of being again cmbodied shonld the local Government of Canada, or the executive Government here, deem their services necessary for the public tranquility. If embodied, toreceive tile same pay, clothing, and allowance, as the other forces in her Majesty's service. February, 1838." [We know half a dozen Welshmen who would raise a Fencib!e Regiment of Fusileers on the same terms.j

LATEST IVE, fVS FROM CANAlJ.I1. EVACUATION OF NAVY ISLAND. Letters and papers from N (¡VI' York, to the 20th January, have been received by express from Ports- mouth, brought by the Gladiatnr, which sailed on the above day. These advices furnish a mass of intelligence connected with events on the Canadian frontier, the most important of which is the evacuation of Navy Island by the insurgents. This result m&y be attributed, in a great measure, to the decisive steps taken by the United States Government to cut off the suppties to the rebels. We give the details relative to the evacuation from the American papers. Firoin the New York A merican of the 2(MJ EVACUATION OF NAVY ISLAND.-Tlic northern mail arrived at a late hour last night, bringing the Albany papers of yesterday morning, and Buffalo of Monday last. It wi!! be seen by the annexed intelligence that the patriots ha.ve evacuated Navy Island and dispersed.

BufTalo, Jan. 15, 1833. Dear Sir,—I avail myself of an express, on the eve of starting for the east, to aay that the force assembled on avy hlanJ last night-that they are now somewhere on our shore, it is understood, endeavouring to make their way to some point higher up, to embark for where is not precisely kitown-wititout arm's. The state cannon are being recovered. The marshal h on the qui vive, with his deputies, (directed by the district attorney,) to serve civil processes on the leaders, iftlte!/ can be found. From personal examination, I am satisfied that the six or seven hundred guns, shot and shell, thrown upon the island, killed but one man. The English force, it is believed, lost 16 killed by the return fire. Marcey and General Scott are here doing all that exist- ing laws permit to maintain neutrality. The governor has been very active and efficient under circumstances of great dimculty. (From the Buffalo Star Etra, Jan. t5) NAVY ISLAND EVACUATED -THE CANNON BELOKGtXG TO THE STATFS SURRENDERED.—THE PATRIOT ARMY DISPERSED.—By express this morning we learn that during the night the Patriot army retreated from Navy Island, after having conveyed the cannon belonging to the State and the United States to Grand Island, and left them under the care of Colonel Ayres, of the militia. (From the Buffalo Co-inecitil /lJuer<.Mt- of Jfollday Evening. ) ScMosscr, Monday morning, Jan. 15, 1838. Navy Island was evacuated last night. The cannon belonging to the United States have been returned, and are lying at Schlosser." Thus far the dispatch of our correspondent. We give below such additional information "as we have subse- quently learned. It is believed, that the large portion of Van Renne- sa!)aer's men have landed on the adjacent parts of Grand Island, having previously sent across the mus- kets, &c., belonging to the State, which were committed to the custody of Colonel Ayres. The further move- ments of the disbanded force are left to conjecture. Our messenger passed Schlosser, from the Falls, at half past eight. As he approached Tonawanda the steam- boat, Barcelonq, was putting on steam at Whitehaven. But when he arrived opposite she had left, but in what direction he could not tell. A boat from the Canada side lay out In the river opposite Navy Island, early this morning, on her oars, apparently reconnoitering for half an hour.

M'Nab, eom- manding her ',Nt -,tj c,. sty's force3 on the Head-Quartcrs, Chippewa, 30th Dec., 1837. have the honour to you that in obedi- ence to your commands to burn, sink, or destroy the piratical steam vessel which had been plying between Navy Island and the American shore the whole of yesterday, I ordered a look-out to be kept upon her, and about 5 p. m. of yesterday, when the day had closed in, Mr Harris, of the royal navy, reported thf: vessel to me as having moved off Navy Island. I Im- mediately directed five boats to be armed and manned with 45 volunteers, and at about cleven o'clock, p. in we pushed off trom the shore for Navy Island, when not finding her there as we went in search, and found her moored between the island and the mahl shore. I then assembled the boats off the point of the island, and dropped qltietly ùown upon the tcamer; we were not discovered until witllin twenty yards of her, when the sentry upon the gangway hailed us, and asked for the countersign, which I told him we would give when we got on board; he then fired upon us, when we im- mediately boarded and found from twenty to thirty men upon her decks, who were easily overcome, and in two minutes she was in our possession. As the current was running strong, and our position close to the Falls of Niagara, I deemed it most prudent to burn the vesse), but previously to setting her on Are we took the precau- tion to loose her from her moorings, and turn her out into the stream, to prevent the posibHity of the destruc- tion of anything tike American property. In short all those on board the steamer who did not resist were quietly p'-it on shore, as I thought it p?sible there might be some American citizens on board. Those who assailed us were of course dealt with according to the usages of war. I cannot speak too htghiy of tha conduct of the o8tcer< and men who accompanied me their coolness and bravery show what may be exp!:1cted from them when their country requires their services where all behaved so well it woutd be invidious in me to particularise any one; but I may be excused for mentioning the gallant conduct of Lieutenant Shepard M'Corma.ck, of the Royal Navy, who nobly seconded me, and had to encounter several of the pirates in the fore part of the hy ,hidl, I regret to say, he has received five ùesprratc wc have also two others wounded, and regret to add that five or six of the enemy were fitted.

Lord PALMERSTON, consenting to produce the papers, the motion was agreed to. GLASGOW CI)TTON-SPINNERS, MrWAKLEY in & speech of considerate length, moved tae following resolution :—That this House is of opinion that a select Committee should be appointed to inquire into the constitution, practices. and effects of a society which has long existed in Scotland, under the tide of the 'Association of Operative Cotton.spinners of Glasgow, and its neighbonrhood. The Lord ADVOCATE, alsoj in a speech of great length, defended the proceedings, and denied that there had been any errors in the lenal proceedings, and conse- quently that there had been any delay to cover the blun- ders charged against the law ofHcers.' Mr O'CONELL moved, as an amendment, "That a select Committee be appointed to inquire into the origin, nature, and extent of trades unions or combina- tions of workmen or employers of workmen in the united kingdom, and the tendency of such unions or combinations to affect the free distribution of wages, labour, and employment; and also their tendency to induce the commission of outrages against person and property, and the perpetration of murder; and also. to report such suggestions for improvement in the existing laws against i"ega[ combinations or societies as they mav deem requisite. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that both Mr Waktey s proposition was objectionable, and that he could not agree to the amendment. If there were inquiry, it ought to be of the fullest and most impartial character and if he had the opportunity he would move for such an inquiry—namely, an inquiry into the combinations of masters, as well as men, without confining the investigation to Scotland. Mr O'CON'SLLL said that he would, after this state- ment, withdraw his amendment. Mr WAKLEY withdrew his motion, whereupon, The ell A ",CELL?R of the EXCHEQUER moved for a Committtee, which was agreed to. The naming of the Committee was deferred til) Thursday.
