The Government must either find means literally " to carry on the war" until the new Cortes meet , or risk a popnlar commotion in Barcelona , Sarragossa Cordova , and Malaga . The constitution of 1837
^ srintlj states that no tax or contribution is to be leiied on the people without the consent of their representatives . By Eome -informality in the hurry of proroguing the Cortes , the ministers neglected to vote the ^ stuaates of the year , as they imagined Jhata previous vote had given them sufficient legal antbonry to proceed in Recollection of imposts The consequence has been , that the opposition press hasiaid Eoldof the informality to raise a war-cry against the administration , and that cry appears to betaken up in every part of the country . —Herald

Only a few scattered remnants saved themselves by jiving to Soakoam Kale , Anapa , and other fortified places . All the post 3 of the Russian cavalry were attacked nearly at the same hour by superior numbers , showing thai the Circassians were well informed not onl y " of the position , but the strength of each post . This expedition wa 3 conducted bv the
GrcassEW Chief Sz&mhali , in person : tne same 'who had already-gajstdt many victories ; over the Russians , and whose name has become a terror to them . It k affirmed that Szamhali is constantly attended by several English iandToBsh officers of merit , whom he eonsultS'pTeTions io any great-undertaking , bat refuses to listesa to tkear representations as to drilling his warriors upon "the European system . General Grabbe , Commander-in-Chief of the annv of the Caucasus , has withdrawn all his Cossacks within the fortresses and entrenched camps , leaving the open conntry entirely to the Circassians . Daghesian , with the exception of a" few strong fortresses , has been evacuated by the Russian troops . In Georgia aad thetweKabardahs , the autumnal fever has made
such , severe inroads upon the troops , - ibai General Golovine has : been obliged " to maike urgent application ibr reinforcements ; bat it appears that these cannot be spared from the army of the Crimea .

CONGREG ATIOJJAL TEMPERANCE SOCIETY IN CO NNECTION WITH BETHEL CHAPEL , HULL . kind ^ fe ? T" plans ^ tne * enefit of maaor rn ^^ oration , none premises to bear fairer rf * £ ^ a ^ raidant fruits than the Temperance So-S&Jf ^^ h . as by itsmeans the moraland intellectual condition of the people is improved ; and they are taught to value the tr ^ quil an ^ endearing pleasures of home , in preference to the degrading and debauching gratificationB of the i > uhlic hous * tSS introduction of the principles of Total Abstinence into this town , four or ive years ago , the good which has been effected has been immense ! nnx ^ vnr , ^ , » ¦ ¦ "
as is attested by the nnmerons happy families now ' to be found \ n every part of the town and its immediate vicinity . It has , however , long been felt that Temperance ought to be the active handmaid of piety ; and in the July number of the Hull Tempe rance Pioneer , an article appeared recommending the formation of Congregational Temperance Societies , in connection with the various sections of the Christian Church . This appeal has not till bow been responded to ; and the honour of commencing in this trulyglorious work was left to the members 01 the ixew Church worshipping nnder the pastoral care of the Rev . Wiluah flux , in Bethel Chapel , Pr ince-street . . ¦
At a meeting of the members of the Church , held on bonday afternoon , November 10 , 1839 , the following resolutions were carried unanimously : — _ 1 . That , in accordance with the infiuite mercy , benevolence , and compassion evinced by the Lord in all his dealings with his intelUgent creatures and in all his works of nature , providence , and grace , it is the duty and privilege of every Christian in general , and of the Members of the Lord ' s New Ghnrch in particular , to promote , by every lawful and proper means , the welfare and happiness of the whole human race .
2 . That while the present disturbed state of the public mind , the spirit of inquiry into the reason and fitness of things now so universally developed , and the splendid improvements in arts and sciences and literature which characterize the present age , demonstrate that we live in the most eventful era of the world s history , it is a melancholy fact that the use of intoxicating beverages , and the drinking enstoms of thfe-and other countries , present a formidable , and ( unless removed ) an insurmountable barrier to the intellectual , social , civil and religious advancement of mankind .
3 . That it is , therefore , a matter of paramount and urgent necessity that the principles of Total Abstinence from all intoxicating liquors should be brought nnder the notice , and recommended to the sincere and unprejudiced consideration of all classes of the community , and that these principles have an essential claim to the fostering care of the religiouspnblic . 4 . That a Congregational Temperance Society , in connection with this Church , on the Total Abstinence princi p le , be formed with a view to the carrying out , as the Lord , in his infinite love and mercy , shall enable us , the following objects : — 1 st . To promote the recovery of the degraded drunkaid from his vice , and to restore him to the paths of sobriety and happiness .
2 nd . To secure the moderate drinker from becoming a prey tothe destractive habits of intemperance . 3 rd . To unite with our brethren of all denominations in promoting , as far as our influence and example extends , the moral reformation of the people . 4 th . Especially , to promote the spiritual good of man , by diffusing around ns a more extended sphere of benevolence and charity , and by placirg before the contemplative faculty of the inquiring mind those rich and saving truths of which , by the Divine Mercy of the Lord , we ourselves are in possession . 5 th . To aid in the instruction and improvement of the yonthfnl mind , by thoroughly imbuing the rising fe neration with the pr inciple of Temperance , commed with religious knowledge and fervent and universal charity .
6 th . To promote , as we may have opportunity , tho formation and extension of Rechabite . tents , as a most efficient means of providing against the time of sickness and death , while their very constitution binds them to discountenance all kinds of immorality and vice , and to foster and maintain a spirit of genuine brotherly kindness and good -will .
5 . That in order to the carrying the above resolutions into effect a meeting of the members of the Society , and all other friends who think proper to attend shall be holdeu on Sunday evening , Nov . 17 , 1839 , immediately after Divine Service , when a congregational Temperance Society shall be formed , and a committee chosen . -
6 . That Mt . Hill is hereby respecffully and affectionately requested to deliver a suitable discourse on the occasion , and that a collection be made towards defraying the expenses necessarily incurred . __ Mr . Hill being prevepted by a severe family affliction , a most animated and able discourse was delivered in his absence , on Sunday evening , Nov . 17 , by Mr . R . Firth i from Habbakuk , 2 nd chapter , 12 th verse , " Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood , and establisheth a city by iniquity . " The preacher took occasion to point out the evils attendant upon the accumulation of wealth , or the acquisition , of power by immoral and unlawful mea . ns ; applying hia " subject especially to the traffic in intoxicating drioks , and enforcing the pr inciples of Temperance Societies . After Divine Service Mr . F . having taken the chair ,
commenced the subsequent proceedings of the evening , by singing and prayer . Mr . Smith then , in a short address explained the principles of the projected society ; after which a number of person signed the total abstinence pledge ,, and were enrolled as members , to each of whom were presented a . Temperance tract , and also one on the doctrines of the Divine Trinitv and ^ the Atonement , as held b y the New Church . t&Rev . Wm . Hill was elected president of the newly formed society . A committee and other officers were appointed . " A Temperance hymn was then Bung and the meeting separated . In connection with the newly formed society , a portion of the church , and several other friends had a social tea party in the Freemasons' Lodge , on
Fr iday evening , the 22 nd inst . After the removal of the tea apparatus , an appropriate hymn having been su-g , and prayer that the blessinfi ; of Almighty God might rest upon the efforts of the newly-formed society , offered up by the Rev . President , the meeting was addressed in appropriate and animated speeches by the President , and Mr . Smith , the Secretary , Mr . Firby , a member of the Hull Temperance Society , who expressed his cordial approval of the new society , and his best wishes for its prosperity , and Mr . Firth , who ably advocated the cause of total abstinence on religions igrbnnds . The Rechabie band wa 3 in attendance , aiding the devotional services of the evening . Several new members were
enrolled , and the meeting seperated a little after ton o ' clock . On Monday evening last , the first general public meeting of the society was holden , and the "whole proceedings were of the most interesting and gratifying character . The meeting was addressedby the President , who in an able- manner defended the practice of connecting Temperance Societies with Christian Churches . He then introduced Mr . Ceowtheb , a friend from Barton , to the meeting , who in a neat speech advocated Temperance principles , and expressed his entire approval of tha kind of society just formed . He stated that he was " bnfc little acquainted with the religious sentiments of the New Church ; he had , however , read a tract by
Mr . Pitman , and he could say it met-with bis cordial approval ; he was a member of a Dissenting Chnrch , andhewas glad to find from the little worK he had read , that in this New Chnrch , Christ was recognised as the all in all . He most sincerely wished the society good success . _ " Mr . D-twsOJJ , of Sp . aldine , was the . next speaker , and we have seldom listened to a more manly and Christ ian address . He ' stated himself to be a Wesleyan Local Preacher of twenty years standing ; but he was no bigot , and could cordially give the right hand of fellowship to his brethren of the New Chnrch , suiting the action to the word , and exchanging with the Sev . President , and one OT two other friends a cordial shake of tho hand , amid the enthusiastic applause of the company .
Mr . Dawsonspoke fora considerabletime , advocat ing , in a very humourous and effective manner , the total abstinence canse . He was interrupted by a poor fellow , who said he never was drunk in his life ; but on being pressed for a definition of moderation ; admitted he could take a pint every two hours in the twenty-four , and that if he missed a day he could take double the quantity the next , and still be a strictly moderate man . " . ' . - '¦ _ - . Mr . T . B . Sioth , in a -powerfnl and eloquent speech , explained the ground on which the society had been formed ; enforced its claims to public sympathy and support , and exhorted all present to persevere in the good and jjlorioufl-work .-
The business of the meeting was concluded by singing a temperance hymn , and a solemn benediction from the Rev . Chairman . The band afterwards played the National Anthem' in excellent style . Seven persons signed the pledge , and were enrolled as members . The formation of this society ias erased ' considerable excitement in the town . The work of : persecution has begun , and gives promise of considerable virulence , but the prospects of the infant cause are of the most encouraging character . —^ Correspondent .

ENGLAND . Northern Political > Union . —The Council Iflftt as usual on Wednesday eveiijng , Mr . James Ayr in the chair . A committee wak appointed for the purpose of renting a room in which , to hold a weekly discussion on political subjects ; to meet and decide upon the room that should be taken for the purpose , as well as the night oil which it may be desirable to hold the discuBsion . Mr . Hume then moved that the meeting of the Convention be fixed for the Monday before Christmas . That time he knew would be more convenient for the Delegates to meet , as it wonld be the holiday Week . To this Mr . Devyr moved an amendment , that the original day , Monday , December 3 rd , be adhered to . After a brisk
discussion , the amendment was adopted by a large majority rand the District Convention is therefore to assemble on next Monday week . The committee ajreractively employed in making preparations for their reception . The subject of an infamous penny publication , published by Cousins , of London / was then brought under the notice of the Council . This publication , though hitherto advocating Radical , or rather Republican : principles ^ all at once turned round last week , anrf gave a caricature of the melancholy affair at Newport , scoffed and sneered m the most brutal manner at the loss of human life , and compared Mr . Frost to . Bblam . The publication also contained pleasant reminiscences of a y > e butcheries that have been effected on the people for the last hundred years , and recommended that the soldiers should always fire with . precision aud effect . Mr . Mason , in a pointed speech , traced this infamous pulication to a conspiracy between the Government
and the publisher , and contended that nothing short of a very large bribe could induce the publisher to thus outrage the judgment and feelings of his readers , who are almost exclusively of the oppressed working classes . He moved that Messrs . France , Turnbull , and Co ., Mr . Carruthers , and Mr . Lbwery , be respectfully solicited to henceforth give up and discontinue the agency of this treacherous print . The motion was seconded by Mr . Devyr . Mr . Charltbn ; moved , as an ainendment , that a vote of censure be passed on the writers and publisher , and that the working classes be-requested hot to purchase it anymore ; seconded by Mr . Hume . After a debate the original motion was carried by an overwhelminK majority , there being only fouT hands help up for the amendment , aud a deputation was appointed to solicit the above-named individuals that , as friends of the people , they should , henceforth , discontinue the agency of that infamous print . —Northern Liberator .
Joint Stock Provision Compact . —On Tuesday night last , a full meeting of the shareholders was held in the Joiners' Hall , Newcastle , Mr . Armstrong in the chair , when the following resolutions were unanimously agreed , to : —1 st . That all shareholdersbepaid a dividend on the first half year ' s profit m proportion to tho amount of money they ishall have actually paid up 011 the last day of December . 2 nd . That the present capital of the " company is inadequate to carry on the vast amount , of business transacted at their establishment , and it is the opinion of this meeting that the capital should be increased
as soon as possible by each shareholder taking up an additional number of shares . 3 rd . That , in order to accommodate the shareholders and the public aVlaTge ,- as well 03 to lessen the great P r es ? Pf business now transacted in the central establishment , this meeting is of opinion that district or parish shops should be established as soon as the paid-up capital will warrant such an extension of the business . Fourteen persons were then nominated , eight of which are to be elected at tho monthly meeting , to be held on the 9 th of December . Ihe proceedings , throughout were animated and interesting .
Power of the People . —At Coxhoo all the shopkeepers ( to their honour be it spoken ) have supported the just and righteous demands of tho working men , for their Charter of freedom , all save one ; and that one came to Coxhoe to live without hard labour , but alas ! alas ! by the patriotio spirit of the women of Coxhoe , and his own dodged infatuation , has had to go again into a coal-pit to earn a subsistence . Chippexham . —A Chartist meeting Was held on Sunday last , when the principles contained in the Charter was ably explained , and the meeting adat consi
aressea derable length bv Thomas Bfoughall , mason , and Mr . M ' Farlane , of Northampton , when the following resolution was unanimously carried : — " That the meeting places confidence in Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., and Bronterre O'Brien , for their unflinching advocacy of the rights of the people ; and we thank Mr . O'Connor for the exertion he has used in the cause , and Mr , O'Brien , tho great democratic schoolmaster , for the instruction ho lias given the people ; and , while we would co-operate with any party for making the Charter the law of the land , we will not desert the above patriots unless they desert the cause . :

My Lord , I now offer my warning voice for Hour consideration ; I shall address three letters to you . This , my first , shall contain reasons why you and your cpadjutprq cannot much longer hold office ; together with a . re . cital of the many and vast robberies ( I regret lihat I cannot usea milder term ) Which have been committed by Act of Parliament during the last forty years . My second shall be devoted to a review of your viceregency in Ireland . - My third shall contain a defence of Chartisnii with reasons why it must shortly be the ruling principle , ^ and how it will be ; accomplished , and the beneficial results to which it will ' tend
My Lofdj you cannot much longer hold office , / from tho simple fact that you are not the ministers : of any party .. You are the niere good-natured nursery ^ maids of an infarit Queen . The Tories laugh at your incompetency , while the Radicals liate yon for your desertion of ^ . p ^ incipiftyour time-serving policy—your crouching / before your avowed -foes ' , awhile you resetve your spleen and
hostility for those to whouihad you been faithful , you might have securely looked for succour and support . The staunch and respectable Whigs ( if such things can be found ) are day b y day deserting from your ranks ; while the more rabid of the party look now with suspicion upon your \ means or inclination to give them that support by which , in return , th ^ y were ready and willing tp strengthen your hands , by violation of all law , decency , and justice .
While all other sciences are rapidly hurrying on to the'goal of perfection , the science of legislatipn cannot alone stand still . You are neither inclined , nor competent as a patty to direct the vast improvements , inventions , and innovations of the present age of miracle and wonder . Steam navigatiori , steam power production , railroad tra « rolling , the inyentlo'n of gasy and , above , alii the printing machine , propelled by steam , arid
fed upon the freshness of conception ^ and upon events so recent as to mix narrative with prophecy i have distanced you in the race . Afraid of the monster of your own creation , finality was substituted for the Winnirig post of Whiggefy ; and in your lagging paceyou are laughed at by the jfebst humble operative , who backed you once , but-, is now alive to him fblly arid your incapacity .
My Lord , the science of legislation very mtich resembles any of the minor sciencea . In medicine so great have been the improvements , that the confirmed in old practice are allowed to indulge in perfect idieiiesg , or to betake themselves to the rrianufacture of pills , which are prized because they neither serve nor injure . Inthe law department you find those who have imbibed the more recent precedents , and founded their practice upon novelty , out-stripping
the old practitioners Who . cling ; With a faithful tenacity to the older absurdities . Ajb under your Government religion has been made a science , you behold the young aid active ^ cieriTO-political ^ actor playing to overflowing houses , while the ancient di vine , deficient in political theology is compelled to preach to empty benches . The chapels of the Dis-: septew are springing up , as if by magic , recognising the vast improvement ^ in the scierice of theology .
In the science of etiquette , grace , and living , you have kept admirable pace with the times , as ; no doubt at Court , you have young ladiea of the bedchambers-young dancing masters , and masters of the ceremonies—young French cooks of the most improved school , and , in shorty professors of all things , suited to the times we live in save Government . So absorbed has your Premier become iu the enjoyment of all other improvemerits , that he has vfaolly lost signt of the greatest arid most necessary , the improvement ia ^ Government , which the times require and which tho people demand .
My Lord , we live in new times , and we rer quire new men to govern them : you and your party are not the men . Iu 1829 , the Duke of Wellington looked on at the weakness and folly of those who . seemed inclined to resist Catholic Emancipation ; he profited by . that folly and yielded to terror what he refused to justice . In 1832 , again did the Dukey niceJiy calculating' the power of public opinion , take offioe , With a determinatibn to give a more sweoping Reform than that proposed by the Whigs ; but the recent violences of
the Tory party , made it rather a question of who should do , than of what shall be done ; and how you may rest , assured that the very nieh ; whose favour you have been courting are , at the present moment , taking advantage of your folly and your ignorance . They have made yoU their tools , arid Will upon tho first fitting . opportunity- ^ -that is when you havo sufficiently damned y ourselves , and have fallen to pieces from very rottenness ^ make a compromise ; undoing all that you have done , and offering , in compliance with popular demand , much thatyou have rofused . ¦
My Lord , the fact ia bo Btriking that I must ; here forestall matter . which would be more in place in my third letter . I moan the fact that the Whig government has literally arid directly sown the seeds of rebellion in this- country , arid ; that you and your party , are chargeable with the consequoncqs of the AVeloh ineurroction , andthathad itnotbeenfor thooxtreme forbearance , good sense , arid detestation of civil war of the working claesee , this country would now have been in a at » t « of icevolatiop .
At LI verpool , in the very height of the recent agitation , Lord John Russell JHstifled the meetings of thepcople , declaTedtheirrighttomeet , and 8 aidthat others would hate Suppressed those meetings . While those meetings were held , the most frequent and numerous ever known , not one single act of aggression took place , so man wm charged with ' » . violation of the peace , and no injury was done to person or property . Finding that your Government sanctioned the me « ting 8 , your masters , the millowners , seeing that griovanoes did really exist , and that the
discussion of them would lead to their correction , locked up their hands , arid thus foiled Lord John Russkll , Meetings were then holden -bytorch light : the masterB at Hyde and other towns placed loads of straw in the . - ' . iiay ., * o that ;• 'Ifareei ' . r-miglit : ; lutppen * . j " ; l > iii ' . the people s » w the trap aud avoided it . No injury was done to person or ^ prbpertj ' ' ; no violation of the law took piaio during those meetings , and they Were put down , not by Royal proclamation , but by my advice , lest hired incendiaries , should entrap the people . ; Subflequently , the National Petition was preseutad .

Proposed by W . Smith , and
seconded dv Mr . Bnrrows— 2 nd . That this meeting empower tne Council to call a meeting of town ana country delegates in this chapel next Monday morning , and a public meeting in the evenings to consider of , and if convenient , elect a proper person to represent the town and county of Nottingham , in the Convention about to be called together by the public voice , as expressed in-the Northern Star . Proposed by Mr . Reed , and seconded by Mr . Marriott ;—3 rd . That these resolutions bo sent for insertion in our glorious and real' champion' the Northern Star . Proposed by Mr . Peters , arid seconded by great numbers . —The meeting was very enthusiastic in favour of an immediate Convention , and also in support of the Northern Star—many of those present declaring their intention to support the Star to the last , in spite of all the efforts of its enemies to suppress it ; or of treacherous agents to Burke it , by wrapping it up in Weekly Chronicle bills , or selling the nuisance in its stead .

"That we view with" - ; disgnst and contempt , the bas e proceedings and ; vile attacks made by Dr Fletcher and the ' managers of the C'hampion newspaper , -against that most zealous patriot and champion of the people ' s rights , and his newspaper , the Northern Star ; and that this society is further determined to support the Northern Star and Pearrnr O'Connor so long as he advocates Universal Suffrage : hoping that our fellow countrymen will follow the same example , and be a means of the Northern Star shining when the Champion
newspapers Bhall be found asleep . " —Moved by Mr . Fearn . and seconded by Mr . Allkin . 3 rd . " That this meeting views with extreme horror the late unfortunate event in Wales , which we consider another act of despotism of the base , brutal , and bloody whigs , therefore we call upon every patriot of Englaud , areland , and Scotland to unite immediately in the strongest bands of unity , and then with ari united effort we shall be able to level corruption to the dust , and plant the standard of universal liberty oh the present ramparts of despotism .
