GENTLEMEN, • etted that I have acknowledgment which is justly due for the benefit, my family h derived from your excellent medicine, the ANTI- SCORBUTIC DROPS. My son William, when about a year old, was afflicted \ vHh the Measles^ which left a spot on his leg. This soon ulcera ed and spread, ' farming a large wound. The surgeon to whom we applied succeeded iu healing the ulcer, but almost immediately afterwards an ulcer appeared upon his face, and the bov was dreadfully afflicted with running sores upon; his neck and body ; the discharge of mat- ter was so great, that we were obliged daily to change his linen. The physicians and surgeons in the neigh- bourhood were applied to, hut their skill wasiu vain; several other remedies we resorted to proved equally ineffectual, aud the sufferer continued a poor and miserable object, almost bent double for near 20 yeais. At this time I heard of the virtues of ytfur iuoliniahle medicine,, and afier taking six bottles, which I pur- chased from Mr. Sutton, of Nottingham, an amend- ment. began to take place, aud perseverance iu taking four bottles more effected a perfect cure. It is now six years since this was accomplished, for which I re- turn you my unfeigned thanks, and wish you to make it pub. lie, for the bene fit of those Who may be simi- larly afflicted.

[ From thc Standard.] A correspondent reproaches us with languor and lukewarniness in warning our fr- How- subjects of Ibeir danger from the revolutionary bill. If we are languid, feeble, and apparently lukewarm, the fault lies not in our inclination We would at anv cost, if we could most strongly impress upoii all our, countrymen ( ex- cept that numerous class whose hope lies jn national confusion, and who have already a clear view of the prospect) that bankruptcy, civil war, beggary, a tremendous convulsion, and the downfall of this mighty empire, will be the inevitable results of the [ thnos^ imcd . . eminence of station nil character to which we have, no , pretensions, anil a degree, of eloijuence which Ae should vainly hope to emulate ? Yet the lesson is still to he repeat- ed I is languor, liikewarinness, or even despair itself be blamed in such a case ? We shall, however, so far comply with thc wishes of our correspondent as to repeat, for the hundredth time, those propositions that we have urged against Lord John Russell's bill : they have never been answered, and all we ask of the stiil undecided, if any such there be, is to require mi answer to these propositions from all who solicit their pport to the revolution bill. . First, Ireland will be lost. We say, first, because is will probably be earliest, though far from the, worst consequence of flip revolution. The bill will wrest Ireland from the English crown. Thc present election may, by favour of Mr. O'Cot'moll,' return, some nominal Protestants, provided that they are re- volutionists; but two years will not pass over without extinguishing the Protestant thurch in Ireland, and erecting a Popish establishment in it's place ; nor five ithout a repeal of the union, and a severance of the empire. The case of Belgium and Holland is not so much similar as identical. . Tim next consequence— we will follow thc order of time— will be the total prostration of the agriculture of Great Britain. I^- t it never be forgotten that tiie ministers are pledged to a total repeal of the corn laws— that Ihey, while out of office, failed to ruin the British farmer, solely by want. of that power which they now possess, and which tbis bili is calculated to enhance infinitely, and to malic perpetual; let it be remembered also, thatjif ministers stood as indifferent as they are notoriously malign to the agricultural in- terest, their revolutionary measure goes to' create ; i parliament so essentially'and decidedly anti- agricul- tural, that, without forfeiting their places, they, t, e any other ministers, cannot avoid the sacrifice of the farmers. The Church of Ireland having fallen, the agri cultufist being reduced fo utter beggary, " the Church of England must full next. No death- doom was ever more certain than that formed by the precedent of destruction which Ireland will have presented,' and the motive which the pauper con- dition of the British farmer will supply. Already, ndeed, the cfy of havoc is raised ogajnst the church. When the first wftrking of llie bill shall have given example, new motive, and full en- couragement to spoil and lo destroy, thai cry will not be coldly followed dp. The Funds will follow.— Ministers have already iven proof hovi lightly they deem of the engage- ment which constitutes the title of the public creditor ; but, if they were as deeply impressed with the duty of observing national faith as Mr. Rothschild, their position, after passing the revolu- tionary bitt, will put it completely out of their power to protect the fuudhotders. We must bear in mind that they come in as undertakers, that they are pledged to lighten taxation in such a degree as shall afford real efficient relief, that the support which they now receive from all who do not speculate upon the gains of a convulsion, is given in fhe hope that tbe taxes will be mitigated. Ministers, however, have acknowledged that by reduction of the existing establishments within ail reasonable limits, no opportunity of taking off" taxes can be compassed. How then are they to redeem their pledges ? What is to be ( heir re- source ? The loss of Ireland, the destruction of fiat which is thc only fund necessarily expended al home, i. e. the church properly— thc pauperizing of the farmer— these will not enrich the Exchequer. Will the ten pound householders, so few of whom are fundhdidefs ? Will fhe county members, so very many of whom are weighed down with mortgages and marriage settlements? Will these two classes, in whom, though unequally distributed, the whole power of parliament w ill be concentrated by tho new constitution? Will they be verv ardent in their opposition lo th6 demand of an equitable adjustment, so often urged by flvoSe who are now the chief supporters of the ministers, and by far the most important patrons pf Ihe ministerial bill ? Nor let manufacturers hope that they would not suffer in the consequences' of the events which wonld destroy their best customers— the church aud the landed Interest oil one side, while on the other, by extinguishing Ihe funds, it would cut off nine- tenths or more of the float PLOUGHMAN'S DUO PS.

We shall be told, ( hose mischiefs prove too much that, it is impossible such men as Lords A, B, anilC, could support thc bill if it is fraught with such calamitous consequenccs. This would be an argu- ment, if nations had never been ruineil by foolish lords. It is simple nonsense, however, addressed to men who know that nations have been ruined, and ruined by men of far less clearly proved blocklicadism than his Maj. sty's present Ministers. They neither care more for, nor can better provide for, tlieir country than for themselves. Yet we see how nearly Ihey ruined themselves upon the budget— to speak properly, how did they actually rinrt themselves, until the thought occurred to them to shift the danger from themselves upon the unhappy country submit- ted f< r their mercy—— as a'quack poisons his patient to silence the evidence' of mala praxis. We rejoice to find that the real voice of the coun- try upon fbe Reform Question is likely to lie heard in various quarters, and even in places where the mob cry iu its favour has hitherto been the strangest.— An Anti- Reform Declaration has been most numeriMislv and respectably signed by the freeholders of War- wickshire. Besides eight. Peers, upwards of one hun- dred and fif y country gentlemen of thd highest character in the county have affixed their names to this record of public opinion ; and this is only one of • many similar declarations which arc in course of sig- nature, and which, when completed, will, we know from undoubted'- authority, include the names of nearly every gentleman of character, influence, and education id tbe county. VES* H: F9 OF THE ROIIAXS IN BRITAIN.— Many of our Roman cities have becone entirely wasted and desolate— Silchester is one of these. Corn- fields and pastures cover the spot once adorned with public and private buildings, all of which are now wholly destroyed. Like the busy crowds who inhab- it d fiom, the edifices lnve stink beneath thc fresh and silent pf ensward hut the flinty wall u huh silt', rounded the'eily is yet firm, and the direction of the streets may be discerned by the difference of tint in the herbage; and thc ploughshare turns up the me- d ils of the Ctesars, so long dead and forgotien, who were once the masters of lhe world. The ministerial papers threaten Lord Lyndhurst and Mr. Justice James Parke with official vengeance • the first for exercising his right as a peer in the House of Lords in opposition to the ministry, the second for taking an interest in the Cambridge election : but thev are silent as to the fact that Lord Brougham ad- journed his court to give counsel an opportunity of voting for government candidates ; and that the Vice. Chancellor, a recreant Tory, shut up his court and set off for Cambridge for a like purpose'. Perhaps there never was a time when the London press was so com pletely ill the shackles of the ministry as at present. PERTHSH I RE ELECTION.

All these' HIT clear indications of the prosperity of the country. Nor is the improvement in the moral condition of the people less apparent. Morality and religion are upheld., and genius disp'nys itself in all the arts, and in every- department IT literature and science. But, at tbe present moment, the minds of all men have been turned away from the contemplation of the im- proving condition . of the country\ and have been directed exclusively lo the alteration of oiir political systctn. It. may lie expected that 1 should declare • my sentiments on this all- engrossing topic. In so doing I' cannot do better than quote the opinions of a hiAft,' who, by some, rririy have been considered chiefly in ( he light of flic leader of a party, but whom 1 am disposed to regard, however, as a Statesman possessed of a powerful and ' enlightened . understand- ing, and whose judgment may safely he relied upon when Onwarpcd hy party feelings, especially in all questions affecting the principles of the British Con- stitution : and, certainly he . will be allowed by all to have been a man most friendly to the liberties of the people. The Statesman to whom I allude is the late JWr. I* ox. Rut what was the opinion of Mr.. Fox on the subject of R'eforrii as deljvered on a motion by Mr, Grey, now the Prime Minister of the country ? that occasion'Mr. Fix declared that, ' if by an interposition of Divine Providence, " ill the wisest men of every age and of tftfj country could be brought togefh'ei1 into one assembly, th^ y would not be capable of forming ev'cri a toleftible Constitution for a Slate.' Bill srt much do riien Of I he present day flunk of their own wisdom, that they conceive themselves qualified to do in a fetf \ Veeks wh, it Mr. Fox declared to be impossible by the united'wisdoin of ages. And thai is not only tlie case in the present Cabinet ; but, ] believr, there is not a political club existing in any village in the country w. lio do not conceive themselves ' capable of i « iproving., ll) je Cu& sjijufioa Of . fjic. State. Mr. Fox well knew, however, that the only just and safe pfiridiple to proceed upon was that of experience and pr. CtiCal Utility, and discarded all ideas of theoretical perfection. What, I wonld ask, is the cause of the failure of all attempts oti the part of other nations to assimilate flieir Constitutions to lhat of Great Britain? What is the cause of its failure in France, and of all fhe atteriipfs which have been making for the last forfy years to establish a per- manent system of free gOvcfiiriicnt in that urihappy country ? Tiie cause ofthese failures 1 apprehend to have been that the French have aimed at thcoietical perfection instead of being contented with pracfical Ofility. The French nation is undoubtedly one of the most enlightened and intelligent nations of Europe, perhaps we w ill admit tliern to be fhe most so afler oufselvcs, but they have hitherto constantly failed in their endeavours to establish a free Constitu- tion open a Solid and. permanent basis. Yet notwith- standing these repealed failures on fhe part of oilr neighbours, we find many persons among ourselves continually urging us to enter upon the same Course. To these things 1 cannot but look with feelings of apprehension. 1 should have been as much de- lighted as any man by fhe late changes jn France, had it appeared ID me that they were likely to lead • « '•> tlie permanent establishment 0f liberty iri that rountry ; but I delayed fo rejoice, because I did not arc lhat these changes were at all certain fo produce that desirable effect. 1 hesitated to join in the exultation expressed . by many persons in Ibis coun- try ; and tile eye nt has confirmed my doubts, for J still apprehend that Ihe Constitution of France is lilitiost as litlle settled as" before. When lioidjhi* \ high official situation in the atlied armv in France, stime years ago, 1 had an'opportunity of conversing with firany intelligent pien of that eountrv, and iS particular with one of the most distinguished and enlightened members of Ihe Chamber of Deputies'* which you all know corresponds to the Hyuse of Coriinfons with ns. Tliegcriileman'to whom 1 allude expressed it to me to be his Opinion that one great practical defect in France had arisen from the inffo. dnctien of too much Rymmetiy. into their mode of election; and that the instability of their Govern- • inent was owing in a very considerable degree fo its beitig without those very anomalies which our modern ihliovators and' Constitution makers are so anxious to remove from our system. He thought tlmf the existence in this country of men of wealth possessed of considerable political, influence, and of corporate bodies accustomed to pursue a line. of con- duct of their own in political matters, Without being carried away hy flic impulse bf the moment, was onp cause of our being free from those fluctuations lo . which France has been so subject. Whenever anv new caprice in politics had agitated the capital of France, ( hc proViuccs had been obliged fo yield fo the impulse given at Paris, for Want of any local in- fluences to which opinions might rally elsewhere, and give time for sound judgment to oppose itself to hastv and rash impressions. It would be well if the people would at ull times bear in mind that crowds have fheir courtiers as well as Monarchs. Wherever there is power there will lie flatterersand fhe people do not always sufficiently recollect f/ iat they are liable to be flattered , and misled as well as Princes, and by flatterers not less mean, cringing, and servile, and, above all, not less false or less selfish, than tlie vilest flatterer who ever frequented a palace, to serve his owp private ends, by betraying the interests of his master. There Is no disease against which a free sfate uught to guard with greater vigilance, than against tlie extreme of democracy. If this principle lie indulged too far, it will carry a people beyond the region of true freedom into the dominions of that "- Anarch Okl>" described by one of onr greatest l'oets, in whose fefritories, he says, there is perpetual si rife and confusion— all the elements of nature are:. in contention against one another, aud some little atom, rising- fo the surface, vainly fancies lhat it is guiding therartex by which it is itself whirled, round, unfll'it is suddenly sub- merged, and another rises in its place,. witk- thei- IUie. » aii » - expectations, to share . quickly . a. similar fate. The state of chaos in the material world, thus described by the- powerful imagination of, Milton, is like the condition of ( he moral world in that slate of anarchy which dcritocraey is sure to produce when pushed lo excess, and Hie people worn out by- disap- pointments, arid flitf roiltitiual changes of flic most rapriekms and oppressive tyranny, are driven at last to seek fot refuge under tlie firm yoke'of a despot. It is not liberty which caii give me atiy: apprehension, but it is the abuse of it ;• frir that degree of liberty which is- consistent with good order and secririiy in society is the only liberty uTlieh can promote the welfare and. prosperity of States. The British Con- stitution is not the work of human hands. Ii has- been moulded into its present form by a series of events resulting out of the confficting'pasijions and the contending interests of men ; to these, aided and guided, if I may presume so to express myself, by a beneficent and protecting Providence,. we owe ihe admirable Constitution- under which this- couiitry has hitherto prospered.

The Frefich papers of Tuesday state that the King has sert out on his tour through the western depart- ments; - Great preparations are making for his recep tion at Rouen and Havre. With respect to Poland, these papers mention that ( he pa( rio( s are rather falling hack upon their capital, being alarmed, it is said, bv some indications of a design on the part of the Russian General Of taking them on fhe left flank, as lie had before attempted on the right. Thcv further state that, the Russians are collecting a fleet in the Balfic, with a view of co- operating with their other movements, and that the Emperor is determined to use every exertion to extinguish tbe " insurrection." The latest German papers confirm the defeat of fhe Polish General Dweinieki in Volhynia. He had been eminently successful ill the first part of liis campaign in that province, and had beaten a Knss an division and had taken 2000 prisoners, w ith 12 cannon. But the defeat of Sierawski, and the consequent junc- tion of ttvo Russian divisions against him, placed him iii such a situation of danger that he could only escape from it bj passing the Gallician frontier. Both he and his troops were consequently disarmed. By the Brussels papers, it would seem that hostili- ties have recommenced between Belgium arid Holland, in the, neighbourhood, uf Antwerp;. On the 15th a party sallied, took possession of the fort of St. Laurent, which had hitherto Wen regarded as neutral ground, arid continue to keep possession of it. ' I he Belgians havf not resented this aggression ; and they seem more inclined to oegociate than fight. They have made a proposition to tlje Dutch government fur a settlement of differences, but it is not likely to meet with much attention. The nuptials of the Right Hon. Robert Grosvenor, Metnhrr- of the Privy Council, arid Comptroller of his Majesty's Household, with the Hon Miss Welleslev, the amiable arid highly- accomplished daughter of Lord Cowley, British ambassador at Vienna, took place at St George's, Hanover square, London, on Tuesday last. The ceremony was performed in the presence of numerous members of the ^ irosvenor and Wellcsley families, amongst whom were Earl Grosvenor, fhe Countess of Morningion, Earl Wilton, Earl Talbot, Lady Cecil Talbot, the Marquis and Marrhioness of Salisbury, ' Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury, Hon Gerald Wctlcsley, Lord Marcus Hill, & c. The happy couple, oir the conclusion of the ceremony, set off for the sent of the Duke of Wellington, at Strathficldsaye, where they ifitehd to pass the honey- moon. The Honourable Charlotte Arbuthnot Wellesley is the only daughter of the Marchioness nf Anglesey by her first marriage with L° rd Cowley, which, it wili be recol- lected, was dissolved iri the year 1810. Lord Cr wlev remarried, iii IflS, wifb Lady Georgian;! Charlo te Cecil, sister to' the Marquis of Salisbury and the Marchioness of Wcstriifath, by which noble Ijidy he has one daughter. The fair and accomplished bride is in Her- 24th year, Mr. Grosvenor is in his 31st. The venerable Countess Moriiington, the grandmother of the bride, who was present at tlie ceremony, is now in her Ssth year. One of the most extensive failurM tfiat ever ( ook place was nnhonneeil at the Stock Exchange to day, creating so much consternation for a short tinie as completely to paralyse the transactions. The indivi- dual incapacitated frorti meeting his engagements is Mr. George Baltye ( lately of tlie firm of Tnuver and Batfye), whose credit, from the respectability of his connections at the west end of the town, was for the most part unbounded. He Was in fart, and has been for some months past, the leading man among ( lie speculators for a fall, and he commenced those opera- tions immediately prior ( o and subsequent to the abdi- cation of Charles X. His differences on Consols alone are estimated by some at upwards of .£.{, 0,000, arid by others at i' 60,000, fof which he has balances in hand to pay 8 » . 8d. in the pound— at least siicfi is tbe present calculation. Nearly one half of the speculations entered into, it is understood, wereon his ow n account. The principal losers by the failure are persons possess- ing ample means, and it is therefore expected that no further: mischiefarise from IP; we mean that, as far, as regards Mr. Birtty. e's account, no additional defaiilit rs wilf; be dfclarddf. l'Uirj. 8 OK FUNDS AT Ttte CI.

SAtNT MICHAEL'S CHURCH; STAINED GLASS. The Church of St. Michael, Castle- foregate, has lately been enriched by the addition of another splendid window of stained glass, which forms tile centre one of the chancel. The subject is" Tin: NATIVITY," from a painting ( commonly called " La Notte") by Cor- r^ gio,* and is a most masterly production of the art of glass- staining, and peculiarly interesting in the manage- ment of light suitable to ihe time and scene of the. subject. Our Saviour's birth having taken place at night and in a stable, the infant Jfrsfis, truly thft Lord of Life and Glory, is very aptly represented as ' shining with light, and shedding a vivid lustre o-^ er all the' personages; and which bright witness,- it may be, addpl, was always visible through bis lift and ministry upon earth. Underneath is the inscription, in Roman capitals—" AND THF. Y C/ SME,. WITH HASTE, AND FOUND Murr AND. losiirn,% TNN B\ isi: LYING IN A MANGER." The windows on each side of the above are designs from " THE ANNUNCIATION," and " THE PRESENTATION IN THE TEMPLE;" the former . from a painting by Guidn in the Chapel of the Palace on the Monte .- Cavallo at Rome. The Angel, a beautiful figure arrayed. ,' in yellow drapery displayed in the nicest form, is in the act of presenting to the Virgin a LII. Y, truly painted to, perfection, and his attitude and expressive coun- tenance seem to speak the emphatic words of the motto inscribed beneath—" HAIL! THOIJ THAT ART HIGHLY FAVOURED AMONG WOMEN ; THE LORD IS WITH THEE.' — The lattfrr is from the celebrated picture at Antwerp by Rubens, and founded on the words of holy Simeon —" LOUD", NOW LETTEST THOU THY SERVANT DEPART IN PEACE, ACCORDING TO THY WORD." these windows,'. perfect gcms. of the. drt, add' finish to, the embellishrfient arid solemnify of the sacred edifice in which thev are placed, having been erected at the expense of the Rev. W. G.' Rowland, M. A.; and whilst they reflect credit on the abilities of the artist, our, townsman, Mr. David Evans, will, we trust, long remain a monument of the munificence of the donor. The same artist has also recently completed twilvf windows for the cloisters of the magnificent mansion St Toddington, Gloucestershire, portions of which were specimens of old glass of the finest description, chiefly the production of Dutch artists, and at the period when the. art of glass. staining was in its highest perfection. The fitting up of these windows has conferred the greatest credit on the artist, especially when it is con- sidered that he had to contend with, and even to equal, some of the finest specimens of tints ever produced on glass.— The subjects contained in this collection are striking and amusing incidents of Dutch history, its well as representations of facts related in. Holy Writ, armorial bearings, devices, & c. of Dutch Burgomasters,' the drawings of which are excellent, and the richness and beauty of the colouring surpassing description, having been executed about the middle of the sixteenth and early in the seventeenth century. The glass, viewed as a whole, has a most imposing effect, and may be C'oniidereil the finest collection in the kingdom. Mr. Evans has also just forwarded another window, containing about 151) I'eet of glass, of an ornamental design similar to those in the transepts of St. Mary's Church, Salop, for the chancel of the new church at SPEENUAMLAND, Berks, Likewise the tipper portion of three windows for the State. room of that splendid residence, PENRHYN CASTLE, Bangor, Carnarvonshire. These windows are peculiar in design, being in correct taste with the Castle, the Anglo- Norman style. A handsome shield occupies the centre of each, on which are emblazoned tile armo- rial bearings of the Penrhyn family. Several other windows are iii progress, to adorn the noble chapel iri tlie same mansion. In concluding this notice of works of art, it may be remarked that, some sixteen years ago, if was consider- ed by some of the Metropolitan prints that the powers of the ancient art of glass- staining had then extended beyond the hope of eventual perfection j but it. tan be most satisfactorily stated, that, the progress of that period would be found very deficient if coriipairfd with some of the recent works of our townsman. Mr. Evans, and of whom it is no mean praise to mention . that his powerful hand has broke the " gothic chain" which had for so long a period confined the mystery of an ancient and beautiful art, once indeed considered as entirely lost, and that specimens may now be seen con- tending in effect with some of the finest works of the ancient masters.

As the immense supplies of the last few weeks are now nearly all landed, the pressure on t': e market has become less, the Importers being generally willing to submit to a sacrifice', ex Ship, which they are not so much inclined to do when once the corn is warehoused. We expect a few more large vessels from Spain and the Mediterranean,' after which o'ur supplies will cer- tainly decrease till the Riga, Petersburg, & Archangel ships arrive'. . If iW. xt week the average is Id. under the lqst average Of 68s. lid. the duty will rise to 13s. 8d. and probably soon to 16s. 8d. Unless the fractions are taken in; this must have the effect of checking all competition from what will hereafter come in, and the same argument n- ill hold as to the future arrival of Flour from the ' United States. Our stock of Free Wheat now in London is by 110 means so large as we have often before known it, when much less probability existed of its being wanted— and as the prices of eve'n ojir best Wheats are now; below what the farmers will be inclined to take for theirs— in the face of an increasing Duty— we fully expect more'firmness on the' part of holder's; especially as there is a good demand for fresh Flour, and our millers rattler bare of stock. Tiie Malting season being nearly over, there are little or no observations to make on Barley; much of the Foreign is landed as fast as it arrives, and a good deal sold to speculators, who are attracted by the Tow price. We should think all that is disposed of leaves a heavy loss to the Importers. Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire appear to find 11S more Oafs than tbeyhaye done heretofore since harvest j but as Ireland can Ho but little more, it is likely we shall rally again, so as to admit what we htfve in Bond at a low Duty. Beans are getting more scarce every day, and very few indeed can be got from the Continent, excepting from Trieste, Leghorn, Ac. where there are some Alexandrian to be had, from 17s. 6d. to 2ts. free on board, with a freight of about 8s SMITIIKI ELD.

No less than twenty seven horses were entered for the above stakes, . tyid . notwithstanding the. absence of many of the most influential patrons of the races, Ep- som presented a more thau ordinary number pf persons from town. In fact, the fineness of the day induced numbers lo attend who otherwise would have been absent. ' '--"!: ..- The entire interest of the day centered in the l.) erliy. for which the odds underwent varkius changes. '.. At the Coffee- room in fhe morning. Pigmy went' back . to 40 to 1. The Surprise filly coming from the outride as high as 25 to 1, and . again fell back to, 50 to 1. Sftet various other- fluctuations, tlie odds. closed at startiilg as follows :— 25 to 1 agst Cohvick 25 to 1 — Ha'imn 25 to 1 — JlHStacliio'- 50 to I — Spaniel 50 to 1 — Sarpedoif 6 to 4 011 Riddlesworth 15 to 1 agst Blunder 15 to 1 — Vestris 17 to I — BrasdeVer 20 to 1 — Roadster HI to 1 — Crfesskla , And high odds against any. other: Three' false starts took place, nor was it till a few minutes before tlirfee that tlte event actually came off: The following are particulars of . the ruuniitg, & c. :— The DERBY STAKES of 50 sovs. each, ti. ft. for three- year old colts 8st. 71b. fillies 8st. 21b- The last mile and a halt'.

There was very little alteration in the running till they got to the turn, where symptoms of distress began to manifest them-,, selves. ' Colwick, Raltlciv Roadster, Surprise, and Cressida may be considered as out of flic batUg, On completing the turn, aud getting into straight ruunlng, the horses began to close;: Htpntus, Riddlesworth, Cindad Rodrigo, and Fcrdousi, being 111 front, and here Spaniel and Incubus began, to. creep up. and in a few strides were up witll O. iudad Rodrigo, who lay third. Somewhere about the distance,' Ha'inusdcclined. . RfcL dlesworth, Ciudad Rodrigo, and: Incubus, were, now close together. Spaniel then came up,' and about fifty yards from home got- in front, winning, by. nearly three quarters of a length witll much cleverness. r Incubus was a good third, Ferdoilsi fourth, Ciudad R- odrigo about fifth, with Htemus, Caleb, Africanus, & Pigmy, almost abreast of him, but lving rather wide. Veslris and Mnstachio were also tolerably well up with the last- named horses. yEneas, Blunder, and two . or three others, were beat some distance. T, lte , pace, was pretty good towards the finish, but it must be, consi- dered as a slow run race ; to this, the stoutness anil honesty of the Whalebone blood, and the distance, Lord Lowther owes his success. The result was a complete surprise on all parties except the trainer,' who declared his horse would be one ot the first three. After the deductions mentioned in the conditions,' Lord. Low h? r nets £ 30tX) by the stakes. . It is said that his Lordship did not back his horse. FRIDAY. Though this was the last, day of the meeting, and though the stakes of the Oaks- second in, interest only to those of the Derby— were to be decided, the public patronage' seemed to have deserted the course,, and there was not only an amazing falling off in the attend- ance of gentry mi of the people, as compared with yesterday, but there was a great disparity in comphi ison With former years.; There. wCre but a few equipages of distinction. Tiie'grand stand w- as not filled, and the sides ofthe Course were unoccupied by the carriages ami vehicles of all descriptions, whic^. on other . ocea- j sions are so prominently displayed. Sporting charac- ters alone mustered in any number; and were it not for their presence, and for the presence of, those connected with them, the Downs would have been all but de- serted. The elections are said to have withdrawn thany of the influential supporters of the turf, and the money which should be spent at Epsom is called for by con - tests of another and more important description. Be the cause what it may,, the meeting was nine of the worst that can be remembered, and the Epsom races of 1831 must be pronounced a failure. ' ilie entry for the Oaks was nnme. rons; bnraP the interest centered in Mr. Hou'dsworth's mare Circassian, who was looked upon, from her public running, as certain to win. Nearly the same infatuation. prevailed about her which existed Ihe day. before with respect to Riddlesworth, and though there were many other names worthy of notice, both by . Mood and perform- ance, very few of them were thought of; aiid the favourite was rili up to the slight odds of G to 4 against her. At this rate some very heavy betting took place: and it was said that the greater part of those who had money to lose stood upon Circassian. The event,. as will oe seen Ky tlie annexed report, proved, for.- Jln> hundredth'time; that 110 race is safe till it is . over ; » hd tiie comparison of previous rlinniAg Uf not always a siire test to be guided by. - Circassian, instead of flying away from all the others, had not a chance in the race, and she came in' fourth Without a struggle with the winner. The two between which the contest finally lay, vvere, the Duke . of Grafton's Oxygen, srainst wliich the odds were 10 to 1, and the Marquis f Exeter's filly, which was not backed at 30 to 1. high against any other. Delight made the running, . closely follow ed by Oxygen, and behind her Circassian, Alca, Miss patten filly, and the others in good places; they- iAaintained this order of running round Tottenham ' ConiOT,' where several were tailed off At this part of the fate Miss Catton came more in front, Lord Lovyther's ' f.- at llie same time getting up to the leading iioru'es. I'V'trt this poin^ thp contest was entirely between De- light, Oxygen, Miss Catton, Circassian, and Lord Uowtber's, and it became very severe till aboJt a distance and a half front home, w hen Delight began to ( lag ; she contrived to keep well in front, till about a fitludred yards from home, and then gave way. Circas- sian was the next to decline*, and then Lord Lowtlier's; " for the few yards of ground remaining, the struggle iyas very severe between Oxygen and Miss Cattttn, Die former winning by a neck only,-, aiid that not with- t>\ tt some persuasion; just at the winniiig- pp t she seemed inclined- to swerve; not that we think her chance of the race was at all aflfceted by it. Lord Lowther's filly was beat by abotit two lengths, Circas- sian being a length behind her; Sadler's two ici e and Lord Jersey'* were next; and most of the others beat a long way off; the three last in the race were Surprise filly, B'assi, and Titania. It may be considered as a very true run race, being a good steady pace through- out; in this respect it was superior to the Derby, the pace for that stakes being unequal— fast at going off; then slow; and a tolerably quick run in, Value ofthe stakes to the Duke of Grafton ( deducting £ 100 forthe second horse), £ 2575. From uliat we have seen of them we think that both Circassian and Colwick will have a better day. STAFFORD RACES. Another triumph for the fielders, although not quite so surprising as the Derby, fo* all. who saw Oxygen run for the Thousand Guineas Stakes, agree that it was not her proper running, and that if the pace had been better she would have won.

In onr account of flic Derby, we' should have stated that Colwick, who was so long looked upon as one of tiie most dangerous horses in tlie f eld, was the last in the race, Roadster last but one.. Surprise just before him, and a long chasm bettceoii these three and those in advance of them. That Roadster sliotihl be so shame- fully beaten we are not in the least surprised, for nothing else could have been expected from his New- market running, even with Robinson onbis back ; but that the renowtied ChiffnCy should be where he was, really did ' surprise' us. How did they take the mea- sure of their horses? We cannot make up our minds to believe that Colwick was '. fit'— his running was too strongly contrasted with what he did at Newmarket last year. The most remarkable, part of the race, how-, ever,' ' was, that it should lie won- by the litlle Spaniel, who, hi all his performances af Newmarket, save one, proved himself a very moderate: nag. After this, who will talk of public, rthiuing as a guide to the Derby! Nothing but the honesty arid goodness of . the Whale- bone stock, added fo the manner, in which the race was run, ran account for so rtnloofced- for'a result. It is said that Lord Lowther, did not back him, and that he wins only the stakes. • The weather, although somew hat gloomy, was fa- vourable. As was the case witll the Derby, every- thing in the shape of interest was engrossed by the Oak", for which" 21 horses started, being the greatest number ever known.

Clexici, a Churchman's Epistle. Published by Murray, I8I8. It would be iriipo. isible, we think, to define Ibe num- berless ways iu which the fashionable, " System of Liberality" is now Undermining all that vrtfs onCe held sacred and irreproachable amongst Englishmen If you are a religious man, it smiles at your fanaticism, or rails against your bigotry— if you are a moral man, i craiks jests 011 your weakness— if you are » n infidel, it compliments you oil your freedom froin prejudice — aud if you are unprincipled, debauched, and licentious, it dubs you a most profitable and en- lightened member bf society. There is scarcely any virtue that it does not decry, or any vice that it does not praise ; and there is scarcely aliy merit that it does not attack, nor any guilt that it does not justify. Inn word, if you reverse all that our greatest states- men have laid down with regard to politics, and afl bat otlr wis- st philosophers and moralists have taught ill respect to the well- being of society, you have " the Liberal Si stem" before you in splendid fulness anil perfection. Never before iu our days were such im- mense sacrifices of principles— of natiuMat interest:;— of the found, tions of society— and of the best feelings aad possessions of mankind, made to any tiling, as are now made to the skin aijd wind God— t. iberaliti/. Our national existence was endangered, and the swords of nearly the whole world were turned against us, yet we fought like heroes for our Institutions, our Church, and our Monarchy ; but now, when we re- vel in almost every benefit that even miracle could give us, and when nearly every nation upon earth wishes to be our friend, we must adopt the opinions and People that we then fought against, and slap every one in the face who can prove them a dangerous enemy. \\ hat all this will lead to, if it be not checked, may be discovered without the aid of prophecy ; and it matters not who may support it, he is the friend of England and mankind who resists it to the utmost. These doctrines and the system w hich has grown out of them, are hugely cried up by all the weak and wicked heads iii the nation, and we need nothing but this to convince us that they are neither wise nor innocent. If they were a . mere matter of words of pure speculative opinion— we might be contcnt to despise them in silence ; but w hen tliey relate to principles, when their tendency is loalteralmost every thing that now exists; and when nearly all theguides of public opinion are their trumpeters, our sinse of public duly tells is", that we ought to show no mercy. We have, however; hitherto endeavoured, ahd we shall Continue to deaf much more in fact and argument, than' in assertion and hard names; and therefore we shall sCarCely injure them if we eaonot prove that they ought to have. enemies. Liberty is thogrcat earthly object of worship with all our countrymen. We rejoice at this ;— but we should rejoice still more, if their kfiowfedge of what consti- tutes, the source of liberty were proportioned to their love of it. This, alas ! is not to be hoped for. They feel that they possess liberty; they see the more bulky parts ofthe machinery that is employed in producing it; but beyond this they feel and see nothing. They act as the man « 6tild act, who to keep the piston or fly - wheel of his steam- engine in full motion, should make holes in the boiler, or destroy tbe furnace. When we look at almost all that is S- ritten and spoken of liberty, we are astonished that a people who have enjoyed liberty so long, who love it so devoutly, and who have it so eternally in ftieir mouths, should be so grossly ignorant touching its' source, a. d the things necessary for its preservation. The secret of tin's is nut very deeply hidden. Those among tis' who pro- fess to be the most ardent worshippers of Liberty, and who arrogate to themselves Ihe rank of commanders' in its service, valOe it and && it nVefely as an instru- ment for gratifying ihetr owi* Bmblinon ami cupTillfy. Our Constilutinn-' Reformci^ are how crying Liberty ! Reform ! that Ihey may become Ministers of State » . and obtain sundry thousand pounds per annum of the public money— another parcel raise the cry that they may gain t lie votes of certain traitorous electors — ano- ther do it to sell newspapers — a fourth do it fo gain a market of merchandize— barilla or Ba'Hie produce to wit— or fii acq- uire a fortune on tbe Stock Exchange, aftd so on. These persons call flieniseltfes the Wily champions of liberty, and the prejudice in favour of liberty gains tbem credence With the great mass ofthe people— Of course to rait against the laws— iti attack the constitution— to putt down the church— to sub- vert the aristocracy—- to assault public morals— to un- dermine the interests of the nation— lo scoff at the lessons of experience, and to deride the apothegms which, have been sanctioned by the wise in all a'g'Cs — 16 do aft this is to combat in the cause of liberty aud reform. The remains of the jbowager Lady Smytlie were conveyed on Monday se'nnight from Woolton, neat Henley- in- Arden, to Acton Burnell Park, where on tbe follow, ng morning tbey were deposited in the family vault in the chapel of that mansion. The argument , iri the case the King v. O'Connell and others, was, on Wednesday Week, ordered by the Court of King's Benth, Dublin, fo stand over initft fhe first day of next term. Ifia letter from Mr. O'Coniiell, which appears in The Dublin Morning Register, he states that 11b Judgment Can possibly be given against him, as the statute on which the indictment was fotinded expired with the last parliament. On Monday last the annual general meeting of the Incorporated Society for promoting the enlargement, building, and repairing Churches and Chapels, was held at the house of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge,' in Lincoln's- lnn- fields, at w hich bis Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury presided. The Secretary read the report, hy wliich it appeared that during the last year grants had been marie iii ninet:- eight cases; amounting to £ 15,6/ 8, by which means additional chiircli- room had been obtained for 24 205 persons, including 18,567 sittings, which are free aud unappropriated for ever. Sinte the first fbrination of the society, additional cbftrchacconinioda tion has heen provided for 207,991 persons, including 153,003 free sittings to fhe use of tbe poor for ever. A letter dated Cartfmgemi, March 16, says— " General Lague, who commanded the tatlalions. has taken fhe side of Ihe insffrgents, by whom be has been declared Head Of Civil and Mifitaty Depart- ments, ami is ih full march with 1,00( 1 men to attack this city : be is now wilhin four leagues of our gates.

The proprietor of one whole share, or of four of the existing quarter shares, by this arrangement, is fo be entitled to one of the new quarters at par. The sum thns raised will be applied fo the payment Of part of the debt dtte by the com- pany to government J the remainder to the erecting of warehouses, purchase of additional locomotive engines, & c. The application for sending goods by the railway is mote than the company can at present meet. The net receipts of the concern, to the end of next month, it is expected will be Hbput £ 30,000, which will enable the company lo pay 4 per cent, per share since the last dividend, equal to 8 per cent per annum. The average number of passengers Conveyed by the railway each day is about 1,300. O11 Thursday last the Manchester and Liverpool Railway Company began to convey a new class of pas- sengers. O11 that day forty- nine Irish pigs quitted Liverpool in one carriage, and arrived safe at Men ches er, after a most noisy journey. Since that time upwards of three hundred of the tusky tribe have made the same journey. The fare of a pig is eighteen pence, being not quite one half the fare of a pig dr ver. The Company will begin to carry cattle very shortly, several commodious carriages having been constructed fur their accommodation. DEATH OF ItOGF. lt HOLT LlltGll] ESQ. [ FROM THE SIAKCHI STER CHRcttibt, E. j We anno. iince wi'Ui feeltiHis 01 file deepest regret the demise of this highly re peeled . gentleman, which' melancholy event occurred, yesterday, morning se'imight. It is well knowii. l'iVi^ lVlr. Leigh attended the recent election al Wigan, „ au4 in the midst of tbe brutal excesses committed hit that Octasion he re- ceived serious injuries, which were, the iause i> f btl premature death. He left his resiilencs at Wood- Ipuse,. near Lfceds, on the 3d - ifi* t. to ftive his vote ai si freeman of the borough of.. iVivan', » ti., 1 al that, time: wrV/ ti. neh indisposed. He hn'jf been Cctnfined in the Moot- hall throughout the first, day, of llie election.,' and in ihe evening,; after fir' Sad quilted that tur- bulent scene, he was followed by an immense crowd. Who, oft Bearing, fhitt his name was Leigft, attacked him with saia^ e violence, fie . took, refuge in the Rear's Paw public- house, and was. kept there for several bouts until ihe mob trad dispersed. He was seen lo run lip'lhe. yafd. uf the . house,. t'ofloweil by, A number of ruffian's, some armed with bludgeons, and 011 getting « ithiti the bar he exclaimed,, in a dreadr fully agitated tone of voice,' " Where shall I go ; oli' saye nte!'* Air. Green, a pork- deafer; happened tft be ill the house at the time, and lo prevent anv • iolentje being coimii « fe. d told the mob that the gentleman they had pteiied vfsf* not Mr. Leigh, but a Cottrtseffor from Liverpool. The Hfttoiis multitude then appeared to be satisfied, and left the hous$. O11 examining Mf. Lrifcli- fie ( bit hot seem fo lie dangerously hurl, although the blood <* jas streaming down his face fflout a wbiffid which had been inflicted near the tei^ ipte. 11 i. s apprehension was liowevc/ intensely excitriT: he weh't tip stairs, and Mr. Dew- hurst the landlord visited him from time fo time, Mr, Leigh being locked up at his own request, first in one room, and then iu another more jrembtely situated hi fhe house. Towat- Js fen u clotk he wis prevailed upon to t; ifce a Mt. tR refreshment, and at ( lia| hour he was attended by Mr. I Ait bom, the surgeon, who accompanied him and his brother Sir Robert Leigh the same night to fhe seat of the lailer gentleman, at Hjivdley,' neJir W'fgarf. The excitement occasioned hy . the cruet treatment which lie had. received called iutu acting. the disease from which he bad been long suffering, namely,' affection o'f the' ItSfngs and. determination of the blood to the head j and soon after his removal to llindlei Hall it was discovered that his life was in danger O11 Tuesday week he had an interview with the respected Baronet, having beeft fcliet'ctf by medical treatment. We Understand that Mr. Leigh was so deeply impressed witfi the feat that his brother would die, that he insisted ftpo'ii tit- ifVg removed to the ro. rti in wfVrch Sir Robert hail been lying ever Since the flay 011 which he Was so severely maltreated by the turbulent ntVtb. T he interview is described as most affecting, aft'd Mr. LcigU Was at length removed from the painful sceii£ in a state of extreme suffering,' and firm in the belief that his* brother was at tlie point of death. So completely absorbed were bis own feelings in Sir Robert's welfare, that be ap- peared to forget his own danger, and probably^ entertained nof the slightest idea that Ins mortal career was so soon to terminate. It ii thought that Ihe distress of mind he felt on this occasion had the fatal effect of accelerating lift death. On the follow- ing day ( Wednesday) fib was Aiucli worse,' and he kept sinking froiVi that period until Friday morning at thr^ e o'croek, when lie expired.— It is satisfactorily ascertained that he died from inflammation of tli'e lungs, the fatal sympti/ ms of which, it « supposed, werj- riot brought on so much by the blows which lie had received as from the pressure of fhe crowd. , We are infotmed that a mffn named Edward Wot- fhingfon, a resident at Whitley, near Wigan, but who had heen ih the service of Sir Itobert Leigh about twenty- five years, happened to be in the crowd 01/ the day of the riot, aiid was most fortunately the- means of savirfg Iris old master from immediate death. Seeing Sir Robert knocked down, be threw himself ypon his person to protect hint from the fury of tbe mob, and in this act of self- devotion wis severely injured in various parts of the body.— ft is ascertained tba't strangers frotn Manchester; Bolton, filackbiirh, arid other towns, were present at the election, and most active in the assault in which Mr, L- igh suffered. It is obviotYs that these wretches had been induced to visit Wigan in consequence of the brutal advice C6i? veye< l by, Hunt in what he Called '' a toWsiitutionalsij'ueez'e."

The funeral procession was in the following order:— Two mutes OH horseback. Hearse, drawn by four horses. Two mourning coaches, each drawn by four horses. Sir Robert Leigh's carriage, empty; followed by two other carriages. Mr. Leigh was in the 52d year of his age. lie wait a senior Common Council- plan of jhe borough of Leeds," having been elected iii that office, on the ist of September, 1803 He was also one of the Patrotts <* f Ihe Vicarage of Leeds; a GovefnOf of the Leeds Free Grammar Sell obi; a Tristcc of the Charity of Pious Uses; and Pres'ident of the CotrfiriHtee ofthe Leeds Public Library. He likewise strenuously sup- ported almost every charitable institution iu that town ; and to film is justly due t'he honour of ttie great success and advantage which have attended the' various schools'established iti'tTuit extensive township in connexion with tlie Established Church. In ad- dition to all tbisi, he was a principal promoter of the bfiifding of th' 6 various' new churches - which hare been erected in the . parish of I- ceds in the course of the last ten years 111 short, his public devofion was unbounded. Hi's warmly- attached l^ eds- friends intend to" perpetuate tli'- memory of so valuable a member of society by the erection of a monumental fedord which shall at' once indicate fhe departed's Worthiness and the sincerity of t'heir respect arid esteem.— Mr. Leigh was descended front the ancient and honourable family o^' the Lerghs'of .- Vllington, in the county of Chester? wheiVee af* © descended the Barons lxiigli. The paternal estates are now in . possession of the elder branch, Sir Robert Hott Leigh, Bart, of flindSey Hall, wi*> is suffering under the effects of the viotence of the same lawless mob, though seventy- two years of age, and has often done good service to VVigan— by representing it in Parlia- ment many years faithfully and independently— by promoting its trade, aud supporting ils charities. Sir Kivberf c. as never married, and has merely a surviv- ing sister; therefore the title is fikety to die with hiin. — The family has long lieen celebrated for its dis- interestedness aud love of country. Sir Robert's grandfather, Alexander Leigh, Esq. Who resided at Brefberton. in Lancashire, as Di breft tells us, " began and completed a work of great public spirit and Utility, the canal from Wigau to the Ribble, which he eompfefed about the year < 735." An immense stun of money was expended in ( his undertaking, without prospect of personal benefit In afier years, indeed, tlli'l canal * as sofd for a trifling consideration coin- paired wit/ i tbe original cost, to the Leeds and Liver- pool Caual and Douglas Navigation Company, whose more extensive wurfcs superseded a merely local line of navigation. fu Mr. Leigh the coiintry has lost a real patriot— the Church a most useful and zealous member— the poor man a friend— society a ti ornament— and friend- ship one of the brightest examples of constancy and disinterestedness. He was most exemplary in the discharge of all his dlilies, relative, social, and civil. He became perfectly aware of his approaching disso- lution, and passed bis last hours 011 earth in joyous gratitude to his Saviour, iit whom he had strong eOiifiilcnCe, and his hope was full of immortality. We are happy " fate, from accounts t » e yesterday received, thai Sir Robert Leigh is pronounced to be out of danger. PRESSUTIc OT SAND AGAINST WALLS.— Loose sand, inebxsed between two walls, acts as a wedge, and will ultimately force out tbe weaker wall of the twit A lime kihi was built some few years ago at a sea- port town, and, iu order to prevent an ornamental exterior of calcareous stone from being affected by the heat, a double wall was contrived, having a space of four inches in the centre filled w ith sand. The shaking occasioned by tbe carts passing near caused a gradual settlement of the sand, and before longthc external wall gave way in all directions. LoOse: carth produces the same effect, but in a less degree; and it is oh- s r\ able that walls built against banks of earfbrthough tlicy resist the pressure perfectly well at first, yield to it by degrees, and ultimately fail whenever, the earth is of a crumbly nature. The formulae, for calculating the necessary thickness- of such walls, does not lake inti account this singular wedge l. ke prophecy) indeed, it might be difficult to as ign any fureo equivalent to so extraordinary a pressu.- c, where dry ouse s. nd is the suU-. tancc of the soil.

RAINE, M. P— This honourable and learned gentleman expired on Saturday, at his bouse in Bedford- square, after a short illness, in the 68111 year of his age. Sir. Raine was a King's coun- sel, and a bencher of Lincoln's Inn, and a fortnight prior to Ids dissolution) he was returned for the Dnke of Northumberland's borough of Nc » port ( Cornwall,) which Ihe honourable gentleman had represented since 1812, In 1816, Mr. Raine was appointed one of the Welsh judges, anil he continued to discharge the functions of tbat judicial office until Ihc recent alter- ations iu tbe judicature of Ihe principality, when he retired 011 the handsome superannuation allowance of £ 1,000 per annum. By Mr. Raine's demise a vacancy, of course, occurs in the representation of the noble duke's borough Mr Raiiie was an anti- revoiution- ist, and voted against the measure proposed by bis Majesty's ministers. 11c bad, we believe, retired from practice at the common- law bar for several years pre- vious to his death. OPTICAL DECEPTION ON THE RAILROAD.— The Liverpool and Manchester railroad consists of two lines nf rails, so that iu looking from the carriage window of one line, the other is seen, and presents the follow ing somewhat remarkabfe appearances. While ( ravel- ling at the ratefrom 12 lo 15miles perholir, the rails, together with Ihe roadway, Ihe banks and other ob- jects, appear, as Ihey do from the window of a stage coach, to recede, or move in the direction the reverse of that in whieli the carriage is moving. But when Ihe speed increases to 24 or 30 miles in the hour, Ihe rails no longer seem to recede, but to move with the carriage, as if they were running along the road at the same rate as the spectator. These different ap- pearances, accompanying the different speeds, ore ex- plained without difficulty ; Ihey depend on the facts which are familiar to every one who has caused a fluted pencil case, having a plain slider, to revolte in the hand. The case is obviously seen lo move, but the slider seems stationary, because being plain, it pre sents at every period of ils revolution precisely Ibe same appearance to Ihe eye. If the iron rails ap- peared always to move along the road, fhe explana- tion of the phenomenon would already have been given. The varying effect produced by varying snp^. k denends nn tbe circumstance thfft Ibe r-. il. are not, like ibc slide of tbe pencil case, quite plain, bill have slight irregularities occuring at short inter- vals, which, with a moderate velocity are visible, and dive to ( he rail a receding appearance; but when ihc velocity becomes doubled, the impression on ( he retina produced hy one irregularity is not effaced till it is succeeded by olliers, so nearly similar, that the nppeuranee of the rail resembles that which would be given'by one without any irregularities at all. The varieties of form and colour in ihe road and banks are too great, and separated by loo long intervals, lo be effaced by any possible speed, and therefore tbey con- tinue lo recede from the carriage afler tbe rail seems to have changed Ihe direction of the motion- Journal ofthe Hoyal Institution. TUESDAY— SIXTH DAY. This morning the polling recommenced at half pasl 9 o'clock. As business had been much delayed yesterday by the legal advisers of Sir Charles Paget having insisted 011 putting the oaths ( i. e. Ibe oaths of abjuration and supremacy) at tbe hustings to every voter on Ihe other side, Mr. Rowland Williams, solicitor, Dolgelley, administered ( liese oallis to tbe voters on Mr. Gore's side, and another professional gentleman to those who caine forward to vote for Sir Charles Paget, ere they went to Ihe inner hustings. Ou one side Ibe commissioner sat in one of the towers of the Castle, and on the other temporary booth Was erected against the Castle wall for his accommodation. A legal objection was taken 011 the pari of Sir Charles Paget against the admission of some Criccielh burgesses lo poll, which, after a very protracted discussion, was decided by Ihe learned assessor in fuvonr of such burgesses us bud beeu admitted six years, reserving the point as to tbe younger burgesses for future discussion. The next delay which look place arose from a very different cause. A11 alarm was given that tbe Eagle Tower was falling, and a rush was commencing from the hustings, when u most re- spectable burgess who stood 011 ( be outside, with ( lie utmost presence of mind, proclaimed aloud tbe falsehood of Ihe report and the stability of tbe tower. The polling was Ihen resumed and continued until the usual hour, when tbe numbers were announced. For Sir Charles Paget 183 Mr. Gore. 174 Sir CHARLES PAGET shortly thanked bis friends, and expressed his hopes that they would be peace- ful end good- humoured iu their intercourse with their fellow- burgesses of the opposite parly during Ihe remainder of Ihe contest. Mr. GORE, after expressing his gratitude to his friends for their continued attendance and support, begged lo add a few words in regard to Ihe allusion of the Gallant Admiral to tbe Reform question on the previous evening. From what he ( Mr. Gore) had lhat morning learned, he would now at once admit, that a majority of returns throughout Eng- land were in favour of candidates pledged to support the Ministerial plan of Reform, and that that mea- sure might therefore probably be carried in the ap- proaching parliament. He had from the beginning declared himself opposed to the plan of Reform brought forward by ministers; but he had at the same time declared himself in favour of and ready to support any plan of reform which did nol trench upon the very existence of ( be constitution, as, iu his opinion, the present did. Having said this much, he trusted no further reference to Ihe subject would be considered necessary by either parly ; and that the only point now to be considered by the burgesses would be the superior capability of either of the candidates to watch over, and advocate their local and general interests in parliament. On this ground then he should now take his stand in oppo- sition to the Gallant Admiral, referring them to bis conduct as their representative during the lust par- liament, and leaving them to draw from thence their own inference as to his being a fit person to represent them ngain. Mr. Gore in conclusion begged leave most heartily lo second the recom- mendation of his gallant opponent, that peace nnd good humour should be preserved between Ihe parties. Charles Paget' side of the hustings, expressed his wish that he might never again be called ( ipou to exercise bis privilege as a burgess< feeling so convinced as be did, from what he bad seen on Ihe present occasion, of the necessity of immediate parliamentary reform. A burgess at this time remarked aloud, that it must have been from bis recently formed acquaintance wilh Doctor O. O. Roberts that the Hon. Baronet bad been enabled to arrive at this way of thinking. Mr. Lloyd Roberts shortly after interrupted the polling by insisting 011 his right as a burgess of Carnarvon to be beard personally Upon an objection in regard to the stamps appended to Ihe entries of some old burgesses in the books of the contributory boroughs. Tie objection was over- ruled by the learned asses- sor, but time was gained to the friends of Sir Charles Paget by its discussion. In the course of Ihe forenoon, a burgess Upon voting said, be gave his vole for Sir Charles Paget and reform; Sir Charles thanked him, and tbe assessor said be hoped that he would reform himself, tbe worthy burgess being at tbe time pretty far gone. At fifteen minutes before Ihree o'clock in the afternoon, Ihe statutory hour for closing tbe poll, Mr Lloyd Roberts generously agreed lo dispense wilh the ceremony of putting Ibe bribery oaths lo tbe voters. In a few minutes afterwards, Doctor O. O. Roberts appeared and gave his vote in favour of Sir Charles Paget, amidst most tremendous groaning, hooting, aud hissing from the other side of the hustings. The multitude that in the course of the day had kept pouring into tbe Castle had now increased to such a degree as not only to fill the yard but lo overhang the walls in clusters. The mental ex- citenient amongst the assembled crowd was great indeed, but to the honour of the Welsh character be it said, not Ilie slightest " attempt was made by either party to resort to brutal violence. Extreme anxiety was depicted 011 every face, but not p single arm was lifted to commit Ihe most trivial breach of the peace. Amongst the last, if uot the very last burgess who voted, was Mr. Lloyd Roberts, who was required by the legal advisers of Mr. Gore, to lake himself the bribery oath, the same purgative which lie had insisted upon ad- ministering to so many of the voters on the other side.. The hour now being past, beyond which it was impossible lo continue the polling by the existing statutes, the learned assessor declared ( he state of the poll to be— For Sir Charles Paget 274 Mr. Gore 2( 14 One of Hie most efficient modes of meeting the Re- form question has been by quoting upon its mad- headed supporters the deliberate opinions of wise men, tested by time and sanctioned by experience.

EN GREY. The writer ofthe letler was GIBBON, the historian — the letter is addressed to Lord SHEFFIELD— and ils date is LAUSANNE, May 30, 1702— just nine and thirty years ogo. These arc the words il contains, which sound like a warning voice from the graver— " TO LORD SHEFFIELD.

And so, after forty years experience, which Lord GREY himself has o< er and ovr again said has tamed him in politics; with a sovereign contempt for the sovereign people, aud a natural affection for his " order," we find that venerable personage beginning to play tbe game again which ten years ago he had abandoned, and his pursuit of which, nearly thirty vears before tbat, had made men of sense and reason shudder. The coincidence of circumstances at the two periods is most curious. WEDNESDAY— SEVENTH DAY. This day the polling continued at the same snail's pace as before, or rather more slowly, tbe legal ad visers of Sir Charles Paget starling objections, aud putting a great many questions, and the bribery oath to nil Ihe voters brought forward on Mr. Gore's side of the hustings. With Ibe exception, however, of a single fight iu front of the hustings, which was quickly put down by the constables, there was not Ihe slightest disturbance. At six o'clock the poll was— For Sir Charles Paget 234 Mr. Gore ,, 226 Sir CliARLEsrPAGET thanked his friends for their attendance and support; and entreated their perse- verance for one day more, in order to ensure a glorious victory, as he had yet a phalanx of most respectable voters unpolled. In reference to what Mr. Gore had said yesterday, he gave him credit for having shewn himself a most efficient member iu Ihe last Parlianient, but at the present moment il became their duty lo return a member who would support the King und his Ministers in Iheir patriotic plan of Reform. Now he ( Sir C.) stood pledged to support Reform, while Mr. Gore, it was well known, was opposed lo Ihe King, his Ministers, and Reform. CJjOnd cries of No ! he is a firm friend of the King and Constitution, from the other sidej Sir Charles went on— Mr. Gore had by his vutes during the last session done bis utmost lo oppose reform; and as he was well known lo be a most honourable and consistent man, it was evident that if re- elected he must oppose it still. Tbe Gallant Admiral con- cluded by solemnly disclaiming ull personal feeling iu regard to Mr. Gore, whom he opposed on princf- ple only. Air. GORE next expressed bis lhanks to his friends, for Iheir attendance and support. He did not expect, afler what had previously taken place, that the reform question should have been again alluded lo 011 tbe present occasion, but he wus per- fectly ready lo meet lhat or any other subject. As asserted by the Gallant Admiral be was decidedly opposed to the Ministerial plan of Reform; but from the circumstance of his having opposed a bill which was defeated in the House of Commons in its very outset, was it just to draw tbe inference that he bad put himself in personal opposition to the King. The very introduction of the King's name in connection with that measure was most unconsti- tutional. It was only Ihe measure of his ministers, and must be carried through both Houses of Parlia- ment, before tbe Sovereign, by giving or withhold- ing his assent, could constitutionally express his opinion on the subject. It Was easy to assert for particular purposes that in opposing the bill be had opposed the King; but in answer to that unfounded assertion he should maintain that there wus uot In the King's dominions a single being whose heart beat w ith a w armer feeling of affection towards the Sovereign than lhat of the individual who now stood before them. He therefore requested that no one should ngain accuse him of entertaining hostile feelings towards his Majesty or towards his illus- trious house. He bad imbibed from his cradle feelings of the warmest attachment towards the House of Brunswick and those constitutional prin- ciples which sealed that house upon the British Throne; with those feelings and princlptes he had first slept into political existence, and in those feelings uud principles lie should continue stidfast until he slept into iiis grave. THURSDAY— EIGHTH DAY. This day ibe polling commenced at eight in the morning. From the opening, not only the hustings, but tbe Castle yard was crowded willi anxious spectators. We believe not fewer than four hun- dred voters belonging to the different boroughs were at Ibis moment unpolled, and waiting iu a fe- ver of unxiely to exercise Iheir constitutional pri- vilege. However, only seventy- eight were allowed lo make use of Iheir vested right, Ibe legal advisers of Sir Charles Paget having insisted on putting the oath against bribery to every man who caoie to the poll, even upon their own side. Mr. Lloyd Roberts and Mr. G. Johnston insisted upon this as a mark of impartiality. But their remarks on the subjeet were received wilh loud criesof" shame, dis- grace, wasle of time," from Ihe other side of Ihe hustings. It was now evident, and we say it with- out fear of contradiction, that tbe object of the legal advisers of Sir Charles Paget was to gain time, as was clearly shown by the nature of the questions put to Ihe voters of both sides, especially those who were expected to give Iheir votes on Ihe behalf of Mr. Gore. It was enquired of most re- spectable persrns whether they had received paro- chial relief for themselves, or for their wives or children ; and the old question relative to Ihe stamps was brought upon llie board and re- argued by Mr. Jervis, wilh ' unwearied pertinacity. Sir Richard Bnlkeley, on being brought up to vote ou Sir Majority for Sir Charles Paget 10 Mr. RICHARDS 011 Ihe part of Mr. Gore im- mediately demanded a scrutiny, to which the learned assessor assenled, nnd appointed the next day ( Friday) nt 11 o'clock, for tbe commencement of the investigation. Ou the part of Sir Charles Paget a scrutiny was next demanded by Mr. Jervis, to which the assessor in like manner agreed. Sir CHARI. ES PAGET now rose to address tbe burgesses, The Honourable Buronel said he could not find words in which to give utterance to his feeling of gratitude to Ibe burgesses w ho bad come forward to support him 011 the present occasion. He could not, however, forbear to congratulate tliem on the glorious display of national feeling which they bad now show ed, and tbe determination which they had evinced to rescue themselves front the spirit of vassalage. The Gallant Admiral concluded by returning bis warmest thanks for the honour done him by tile burgesses, and declaring his determination to exert himself to the utmost on behalf of his constituents. Mr. GORE next rose lo express bis feelings of gratitude to the numerous and respectable majority of the burgesses who had stood by him from the commencement of the present extraordinary contest. His warmest thanks were due to them, and Ihey might depend that lie should nevtr desert Ihem, nor cease from feeling a lively interest in their welfare. He begged lo be indulged in saying a word in regard to what had fallen from the Gallant Admiral, his poli- tical opponent, as to the alledged triumph over vas- silage manifested by the result of the poll. On this subject the poll books would shew on which tide Ihe spirit of vassalage had been manifested. During Ihe present election frequent insinuations had been made with regard to ibe Borough of Criccieth. Now he must inform them that very few indeed of the burgesses of Criccieth had voted and that upwards of a hundred of them remained unpolled, the manoeuvres of the learned gentlemen on the other side having put it out of their power to exercise their constitutional privilege; but on the other hand, as would appear from the poll book, the mines of Amlwch, the very inmost recesses of the Island of Anglesey, had been searched for voters to come forward 011 behalf of the Gallant Admiral his opponent. He should therefore nsk with confidence to which side the charge of hold- ing the boroughs under vassalage most properly applied. Very few of his tenants had appeared at the poll on his behalf, but a very great number of the re- spectable tenants of the most itidependant Gentlemen in the country bad. The respei lability of these voters, be was proud to add, had been Ihc subject of com- pliment two days ago by the learned assessor, who had remarked that he had never on any similar oc- casion observed men in general more respectable in their appearance and behaviour than those who had voted on his ( Mr. Gore's) side of the question. He was proud to add that an immense majority ofthe re- sident burgesses of Carnarvon, of those who were vitally interested in the prosperity of the town, had honoured him with their support. ( Here Mr. G. was interrupted by the loud acclamation of the burgesses of Carnarvon " we have supported you, and shall support you again. 1') He should only say one. word more nnd that was in respect to the state of the poll which they had'now heard announced. On this sub- ject a scrutiny had been required, the result of which he had no doubt would shew thflt a number of pau- pers, of persons receiving parochial relief, had been admitted to vote on the other side. With a vi< w to have th< se voters erased from the poll book, he had been advised by his learned friends to demand a scrutiny, the result of which he hoped and trusted would turn the balance in his favour. In conclusion Mr. Gore apologized for detaining the burgesses, and thanked them for the patience, peaceableness, and tranquillity which they had manifested during fhe last three days of this extraordinary contest. He, had only to request further that not only his own friends, hut those of the Gallant Admiral his opponent, would continue to avoid all undue excitement and be actuated by a mutual spirit of good will and for- bearance towards each other. The ASSESSOR begged to return his thanks for the kindness which he had experienced 011 every hand* and he was happy fo assure them that whether the result of the scrutiny should place one or the other of the candidates at the head of the poll, they would return to parliament, an honourable, an -' intelligent, an upright, and an independant. representative. He had nothing to add, but to wish the candidates all manner of health and prosperity, and in the words of the charter to " wish the same unto the men of Carnarvon." In the everting Mr. Gore sat down fo dinner at fhe Goat Hotel, with a party of at least 150. of the gentry, clergy, and burgesses. Many most eloquent and con- stitutional speeches were delivered; and upon the health of Mr. Gore being drank that gentleman rose, and after returning thanks forthe honour done him, and the firm support he had received from all his former friends, with a single exception, and < 0 the many gentlemen who had now come forward for the first time in his behalf, announced his intention of re- linquishing the scrutiny which had been demanded on his part. After consulting with his legal advisers, whose conduct he took that opportunity of warmly and justly eulogising, he had determined, chiefly from a desire 110 longer to keep up the excitement which had now for so many days existed in the town and county, to relinquish the contest for the present; hut in so doing he begged to assure his friends to whose generous support he felt so much indebted, that he should never abandon them, but would be ready again on the first opportunity to step forward to devote his utmost efforts for the welfare of'these boroughs. Mr. Gore concluded an able, feeling:, and eloquent speech, by saying that the period \ vas now arrived, which, although one of the most painful in his existence, he felt sensible could not wisely be much longer deferred— the hour in which he must for a short period bid his friends farewell. He could not would uot attempt to give utterance to the word. During Mr. Gore's address he was frequently in- terrupted by the exclamations of all present, " We shall never desert you ! We shall always stand bjr you You shall be our representative!" were the expressions employed by every person ift the room. 1 But the deathlike silence which prevailed upon his resuming his seat told the feeling; of all present towards their late worthy representative more deeply than could be expressed by words, That silence continued some minutes, and when broken, it was by the unanimous declaration of all present of their fixed and unalterable determination at the next election to adhere to the man of their choice— the friend of the constitution— and reseat him in the senate, as their worthy and efficient representative. Mr. Gore now withdrew, and immediately set off for Porkington ; and the manly and eloquent letter of thanks to his friends, Which we subjoin,* was on Friday morning published in Carnarvon and the contributory boroughs. On Friday morning Sir Charles Paget was de- clared duly elected by the returning officers, and was afterwards chaired in the usual manner. In the evening the Gallant Adfhiral dined with his friends at the Uxbridge Arms, and au attempt was made to get up an illumination in the town by his adherents : it, however, proved a fatfore, and only served as a pretext for two or three wags of the other party to play off a joke by parading the streets preceded by a lantern to enable them to find their way. During the election, the multitude in front of the Uxbridge Arms was every evening addressed by one or more gentlemen belonging to Sir Charles's party. Several Reverend Gentlemen also preached to the people in praise of the blessings of which parliamentary reform was to be the immediate forerunner, in which catalogue they enumerated cheap bi ead, high Wages, and freedom from taxa- tion. Amongst this latter class of orators was a gentleman belonging to the bank, who also dis tinguished himself by his daily appearance and unwearied exertions at the hustings. From a correct analysis of the poll book which is now I) ing before us, it appears that of the bur- gesses resident in the Carnarvonshire boroughs, there polled for Mr. Gore, 104,— for Sir C. Paget, 51; Residents in the county of Carnarvon, for Mr. Gore, 117,— for Sir C. Paget, 40; Residents in Anglesey, for Mr. Gore, 37,— for Sir C. Paget, 161 ; Residents elsewhere, for Mr. Gore, 6,— for Sir C. Paget, 16.— At the conclusion of the poll we under- stand that little more than one half of the burgesses had voted, and that had not the time been occupied by idle discussions aud administering of oaths by the legal adv4sers of fhe other party, Mr. Gore must have been returned by a very large majority. In making this remark, we are very far from wish- ing* to cast any imputation on the professional gentlemen employed ; on the contrary we deem it only fair to say that they did their duty to their employer by pursuing the course which alone could effectually serve him. The blame lies with the framers ofthe late statute relative to elections, the working of which has in this* and no doubt in many other cases, deprived a great many of the electors of their privilege of voting altogether. * ffC To the free and independent BurgesSes of Car* narvon, Pibllheli, Cricdeth, Nevyn, and Conway* " GFNTI.

N, f< Anxious to give repose to those feelings and atfideties which have been so much excited by the severity of the contest for the boroughs, I hasten to acquaint you with the decision to which a subsequent consultation with my friends has induced ine to sub- mit. That decision is, not to prosecute my demand for a scrutiny. < c In taking my leave of you, gentlemen, I cannot refniiii from expressing my sincere and fervent hope that you will find an efficient* attentive, and zealous representative in the gallant Admiral whom you have chosen, nor can I refrain from giving vent to the feelings of a grateful heart for the manly, straight- forward, and disinterested support which I obtained. Gentlemen, 1 leave you but, for a short period,— for so long as life is spared to me, I shall look to the preserva- tion of the friendship of the Men of ARVON, and endeavour to deserve it by standing in the breach whenever they shall chuse to call on me. " The vast majority of the resident freemen of Car- narvon, alike independent and enlightened, proves to me that I have not been considered negligent of my duty,— and the support which I have experienced from the principal landed proprietors, testifies that their opinions on the great political question, which agitates the kingdom, is coincident with my own. To enlarge orvthat question, in a farewell address, would be, I consider, improper, therefore I shall only say, that if it should pass into a law, I pray to God that the dread- ful consequences which present themselves to my mind, may be averted. " In the course of the contest I have heard that I have been accused of being an enemy to my King, I am willing to attribute, this to election irritation, but should such an assertion be dispassionately made, I have no hesitation in saying, a grosser falsehood was never uttered. fi And now, gentlemen, once more, farewell* with sincere thanks to my friends for their steadiness and zeal, to the Assessor for his impartiality, to the Return- ing Officers for their patience and unbiassed conduct, and to my gallant opponent for liis gentlemanlike behaviour. " I remain, truly and indelibly, " Your obliged and faithful Servant, " W. OR MSB Y GORE. Carnarvon, May 13///, 1831." THE DELEGATION PARLIAMENT AND THE NEW TRUSTEES OF THE NATION. ( From Felix Farley's Bristol Journal. J Such is the title already given to fhe parliament about to assemble, by a talented and widely circulated journal in the metropolis, advocating the principles of reform ; and the character of the " new Trustees of the Nation," as it designates its future representa- tives, is thus given in the pages of the same print;— " The proceedings at the elections show that The new parliament will be an assembly of mere delegates, for the purpose of passing the bill. The only question asked of candidates was * Are you for the bill ?' Or, if other questions were asked by indiscreet voters, either the candidate declined to answer, and yet was elected, or he was prevented from answering by shouts of { No more questions— lie pledges himself to vote for the bill!' Some places have elected men very little qualified to act generally as useful members of parliament; but. it mattered not,— they promised to vote for the bill, and that was enough. This, then, may be called the Delegation Parliament, or the Bill Parliament." Speaking of the other branch of the legislature also, the same revolutionary print thus expresses itself:—" We turn to the House of Lords, which, though dissolved, will resume its functions, composed of the same men who sremed inclined to anticipate their prophecy of one effect of the bill, by knocking the crown off the King's head. But though the same bodies that plunged, and mouths that shout- ed, and fists that were clenched, at the sight of his Majesty in the late House of Lords, will be found in fhe next assembly, the immaterial part of what the Times so improperly called 4 the things,' - will be of a totally different order— shall we say the minds of their lordships? They will see the absolute necessity of granting the prayer of the nation, for whose benefit alone their own privileges exist. Living more in the world, they are of a wiser generation than the secluded clergy of the colleges and the Isle of Ely. We our- selves have heard of a clergyman taken drunk from his pulpit, and another attended in church by his hounds; but our hereditary legislators have always avoided any outrage of the supreme authority; not excepting the late uproarious scene in their lordships'* house; for the House of Commons, every one admits, is the supreme authority, and at that time the House of Commons had just refused the supplies, and was itself a complete brar- garden. Since the revolution, the House of Lords has never seriously opposed the House of Commons; nor will it begin now, when our neighbours are discussing the utility of hereditary law- makers, and when the mind of this nation is in such a state that it might be easily provoked to raise a similar question. The Reform Bill will be law be- fore the green corn is reaped. 11 Bravo, lads of the London press. Call you not this sedition, my Lord Grey ? Have we not here, my Lord Chancellor, the seeds pretty thickly sown of an embryo revolution ? We would calmly enquire, while it is yet in our power to do so, while yet the Tory press is free to ask a question,— for there are no truths more clearly re- corded, than that the licentiousness of the press is sure to end in its destruction, and that the most licen- tious demagogue becomes the greatest tyrant; while therefore we can lift up a warning voice, we would ask, in what is this democratic frenzy which has seized the nation to end? Judging from the complexion of the elections that are now going on, we should say the reign of terror has already commenced. Trained mobs, acting upon the fiendish instructions of the London prints to which we have alluded, have already prevented, in a hundred instances, by their threats and violence, the friends of the constitution from coming forward to oppose the reform candidates. And is the Reform Bill to be debated upon, the new constitution to be discussed by a " delegation parliament," elected as this will be ? We do indeed shudder at the pro- spect before us— but we do not despair. The conser- vative part of the nation may for a time be astounded, hut it is nftt yet, thank God annihilated! There are many patriots already returned to the new parliament as well ns many firebrands and revolutionists; nor lias the House of Lords yet shown one symptom of that intimidation which the Spectator so confidently pre- dicts. If the representatives of the people arc to yield to all Ihc caprcies of their constituents; if the outcry of journals, or the effusions of orators at meetings, are immediately to stamp their authority on the measure of the legislature, where is the advantage of a parliament— where the superiority of a repre- sentative over a republican form of government? Hitherto it has been supposed, that the great advan- tage of a representative form of government was, that it prevented this sudden mid perilous communi- cation of public impulse to national measures; that it gave the passions time to cool, and rendered govern- ment not the organ of popular excitement, but sober thought; but all these advantages sanctioned by the experience of ages, seem now forgotten. Parliament is represented as a body of delegates, not legislators ; and reform, it is said, must be granted, nol because it is right, but because the people will it — or, as Lord John Russell said, because they demand it!— and his lordship and his colleagues, as the price of their placcs, agree to concede it, so far as their plans will avail and satisfy the people. But let us ask ( if history is not the old almanack, which Lord Pltmket asserted it to be) when it was that concession ever satisfied popular clamour ? w Concession was the principle* oil which Charles the first acted ; lie first yielded the Petition of Rights, which," as Mr. Hume observes, " was so great a concession to the Commons, that it in truth amounted to a revolution ;" he gave up tonnage and poundage; he yielded Straf- ford to their violence ; he agreed to triennial parlia- ments ; he allowed the sheriff to be invested with Ihe power of summoning them, if not convoked by royal authority; his ministers were chosen exclusively from tbe popular party ; he paid the arrears of his rebel- lions Scotch troops; he conceded to all the demands of the Scotch parliament; the famous " Remonstrance" of the Commons was carricd after a furious debate ; and what was Ihe consequence of all these conces- sions? Encouraged by so much success, the Com- mons openly declared to the Lords, f " that they themselves were the sole representative body of tbe nation; that the peers were nothing but individuals w ho held their seats in a particular capacity; and, therefore, if their lordships would not consent to the passing of tbe acts neccssary for tbe preservation of the people, the Commons, together with such of the Lords as were sensible of the danger, must join to- gether and represent the matter to his Majesty." Having stript the crown of all its prerogatives, the Commons next insisted for the command of the militia, which would bave given them the exclusive use of tile sivord; the civil war ensued; tbe King was be- headed ; the peers were abolished ; and Cromwell enthroned." Louis XVI. to come nearer to our own days, was a monarch who, in like turbulent times, Iried the system of concession— his whole life was in- deed one uninterrupted series of concessions and re- forms, and in return be was led to the scaffold. Putting the state of Ireland out of the way, we would ask is there nothing parallel, nothing to be dreaded from tbe nature of the demands now made by tbe people of England npon the monarch and parliament of this country ? Read the paragraph from tbe Spectator newspaper we have extracted in tbe early part of this article. Peruse most of the London papers— and study the Westminster and Edinburgh Reviews--- thc reputed authors of which arc members of our ow n senate— and is it too much to say, that every reasonable mind must fear that his country is standing on tbe brink of a revolution? But, as we said before, we will not despair. We will state two main reasons why we do not. First.— The Reform Bill is not yet passed, and no one can yet tell what may be its modifications and amendments before it does pass. Secondly.— There is a band of statesmen in the House of Lords, opposed to the measure, of equal wisdom, judgment, discretion, learning, and pa triotism, with Ihe Somerset, the Ormonds the God olphins, the Benticks, & c. & c. of former troublous days in British history; and should need be, the We! lingtons, the Newcaslles, tbe Eldons, and such charac- ters amongst the lay lords of our day, and the Howleys, the Kayes, tbe Laws, and the Grays amongst Ihc spiritual lords, would, as Earl Mansfield declared he had done, claim audiences of his Majesty as mem hers of his Privy Council, and represent to him the peril of his situation, and the danger of trusting to the dictation of such a " l> elegation Parliament" as we are promised will be assembled not to deliberate upon, but to impose upon the nation, " the whole bill, ami nothing but the bill. [ The Courier of Thursday says, " The Reform Bill will be brought forward immediately after tbe mcctin of parliament, without a single material alteration, and ministers will consent to no modification affecting its great principles. To this we may now add, front au thority," lhat Schedules A and B, and above all, the 101. qualification, will be kept entire." The Courier of Wednesday stated— what it has since declared to have been only matter of opinion, though all who know how entirely that paper is the organ of the ministers must believe it to be at least demi official— that ministers will not object to certain nullifications in the bill; and that all tbe reformers in tbe House of Commons may not be disposed to vote for the whole of the bill. " The cry of Ihe whole bill and nothing: but the bill," adds the Courier, " would, if obeyed, restrain the House of Commons from the free discussion without which no bill ought to bo passed ; and we are quite sure that among the ardent reformers who bave been returned for the new parliament, there are not n dozen who will support a position so opposed to constitutional legislation." Yet " the whole bill, and nothing but the bill" has been Ihe pledge required from the candidates at nearly all the elections.] TROOPS OF THE VICEROY OF EGYPT. Planat informs us, that in 1827 twelve regiments were organized, tolerably well clothed in a plain uniform, and armed after the manner of European soldiers; and as it is intended tbat every regiment shall consist of five battalions of 800 men, the military establishment, in infantry alone, will amount to about 50,000. There are, besides, several corps of cavalry, artillery, and even marines; which last are stationed at Alexandria, to serve on board the ships of war whenever it may be necessary to meet an enemy at sea. The colonels of regiments are extremely well paid, having allowances which amount to not less than £ 1500 a- year. Their dress, too, is very rich, consisting of red cloth, covered w ilh gold lace, and a cluster of diamonds, in tbe form of a half moon, on each breast. Over this they wear, on stale occasions, a scarlet pelisse, which fastens over the body with two large clasps of gold set with emeralds. Their upper dress is closed wilh a sash • and the Turkish full I roUsers have given way lo a more convenient habiliment, which is lied under tbe knee, and fitted to the legs like gaiters. The pay ofthe nou- coinmissioned officers is likewise ample"; and that of the men 18 piasters a month, with full rations of good provisions, and their clothing. Tbey are now content, and even attached to the service • while a considerable spirit of emulation prevails among them, cxcited in a great measure by tbe impartial manner in which promotion from the ranks is bestowed, according to the merits of tbe candidates. It is worthy of notice, too, that ( he men are no longer liable to arbitrary punishment. Every one committing a fault must be tried before he can be bastinadoed, and generally some other penally is inflicted, such as confinement, degrada- tion, or hard labour. The officers again, when they forget their duty or iheir character, are placed under arrest; and even the Viceroy himself does not pretend to decide as to their guilt, but leaves the result to the award of justice, regulated by martial law. The superiority of troops prepared for the field according to the European method, was most distinctly manifested in the several campaigns which they served against the Wahabees,— a cir- cumstance which afforded to the Viceroy a degree of delight almost beyond expression. This first step in the improvement of an art, valuable beyond all others to a governor placed in the circumstances which he occupied, was due almost entirely to Colonel Seve, formerly aid- de- camp to Marshal- Ney. This able officer encountered much opposition from Ibe barbarians whom he was appointed to super- intend ; but, with the tact which belongs to a man who has inspected society in all its forms, he sub. dued the ferocity of the savage by assuming a tone more commanding than that of mere animal courage. The Mamlouks were occasionally so discontented as to threaten his life; but he never lost his firm- iiess : and, by offering to meet single- handed those who conspired against his authority, he gained the respect which is always lavished by untutored minds upon fearless hardihood, aud at length be- came a favourite among all classes of Ihe military. Planat tells us that on one occasion, when a volley was fired, a ball whizzed past the ear of Seve. Without the slightest emotion, he commanded Ihe partyto reload their pieces. " You are very bad marksmen," he exclaimed ;—" Make ready,— fire !" They fired, but no ball was heard : the self- posses- sion of the Frenchman disarmed their resentment; they thought him worthy of admiration ; and at length were ready to acknowledge lhat, in point of acquirement and professional experience, he was decidedly a belter man than themselves. He after- wards fell while serving in Greece.— Edinburgh Cabinet Library, No.. 3, View of Ancient and Mo- dern Egypt. BELGIUM. Belgium is rapidly proceeding in her career ot anarchy. Her revolution, produced by demagogues wholly incompetent lo direct its force, was so long disregarded by the orderly part of the community, that the dregs of society acquired the ascendancy, disturbed as it were every existing relation, aiid involved the country in inextricable confusion. During this confusion, intrigues of the most paltry kind have been enacted, chiefly for the individual benefit of the intriguers, aud we apprehend lhat their activity bas not yet ceased, for tlie Regent seems to be baffled nt every turn. Indeed since his accession, " confusion has been worse confounded," and though he may issue orders, they are as in- effectual as if he were to attempt to exercise a direct influence in Yorkshire. A remarkable ex- ample litis recently been afforded at Ghent. The Messdgcr de Gand, an Orange paper, bad given some dissatisfaction lo the local authorities. The publication was stopped by the outrages ofthe mob, and when its re- appearance was announced, the Authorities proclaimed, " The Messager may appear aghin; but if it again abuses the liberty of the press, to excite the people to disorder by expressing: a hatred of our revolution, it is the duty of ( He authorities to declare, that neither the Civic Guard nor the military force, was instituted to defend the enemies of tlie national cause. It belongs to the Messager de Gand to calculate the consequences of its spirit of hostility to the Commonwealth ;— it is responsible to the people for its provocations. The rash man who braves public vengeance places him- self spontaneously beyond the laws from the moment he wishes to rnn the risk." The surrender of authority to the mob was disapproved of by the Regent, who ordered the obsequious functionaries to be dismissed ; and, as might be expected, they refused to be dismissed !

POPULATION.— In the approaching Enumeration of the inhabitants of every place, on Monday, the 30th May instant, the intention clearly is, that every person shall be reckoned once, and not oftcner ; so that those who happen to be travelling or absent from home on business, or for any other purpose on tbat day, shall be reckoned as if at their usual residence: and if they leave directions at home accordingly, they may assign that as a reason for refusing to be reckoned elsewhere. It is not easy to define in all cases what constitutes resi- dence; generally speaking, the enquirer may reasonably ask at every house for the number of persons who lodged there during the preceding week, or llie last uijjht, and proceed to reckon all such as residents there, unless sufficient reason be given for thinking tbat they or any of them will be enumerated elsewhere.— It may conduce to ac- curacy in populous places, to observe, lhat the larger the number of selected Enumerators, tbe less capable and intelligent some of them must be; nor is it certain that Magistrates will think themselves justified in allowing payments in the accounts of Overseers, beyond tbe day's work of oue Enume- rator to a hundred houses or six hundred persons, unless iu very thinly inhabited districts. NATIONAL SCHOOL SOCIETY.— On Wednesday, a general meeting of this society w as held, after their half- yearly public examination of tbe children, at the Central School- rooms, Baldwins' gardens, Gruy's Inn- lane; his Grace Ihe Archbishop of Canterbury in the chair. Among those present were the Bishops of London, Lichfield and Coventry, Llan- daff, Sodor and Man, and Nova Scotia ; Archdeacons Cumbridge, Hollingworth, Bayley, and Watson; Doctors D'Oyley, Walmsley, and Spry; William Cotioti, William Davis, Joshua Watson,. lolin Round, and Baker Powell, Esqrs. It appeared by ihe report that during the last year 328 schools had been received into union with the National Society, carrying up the amount of schools in union lo Ihe number of 2937; and £ 6643 had been voted in aid of Ihe building school- rooms in 104 places; Ihe total expense of the buildings being estimated at £ 20,000. The society had recently made a general inquiry into the state of education under the church in all parts nf the kingdom; and an account had been obtained concerning 8650 places which were found to contain about 11,000 schools, with 678,356 children. It was calculated tbat there could not be less, in England and Wales, than 710,000 children under the care of the clergy, An extraordinary and extensive robbery was committed on Thursday evening se'nnight, at Ihe residence of Sir Roger and Lady Sophia Gresley, 29, Hertford- street, May- fair, London, when several caskets of jewellery, trinkets, & c. belonging to her Ladyship, and of tbe estimated value of £ 2,000, were carried off. It appears that Lady Sophia ordered her carriage at seven o'clock on Thursday evening, and proceeded to Ccventry- honse, Pic- cadilly, to dine with her brother, Earl Coventry. Tbe robbery took place in her absence: at present, none of the property has been recovered. It is a remarkable coincidence, that, since the month of November last, the jewels of three ladies of rank and fashion residing in Hertford- street, May- fair, have disappeared under precisely similar circum- stances. Mrs. Hughes Ball, Miss Stirling, daughter of Sir Walter Stirling, Bart, and Ludy Sophia Gresley, and not one trinket has since been recovered. The estimated loss of Mrs. Hughe Ball, was about £ 1,500, and that of Miss Stirling £ 1,000. Mrs. Hughes Ball's are, however, known to be of a most costly description, and Ihe thieves neglected to open one of her dressing. drawers, in which there happened to be jewels to tbe amount of £ 12,000.— In addition to Ihe robberies above- mentioned, jewels to the value of above £ 1,000 were stolen from tbe residence of Lady Nelson, 23, Portman- square, while the family were at dinner on Friday eveuiug last.
