IMPELLED by a sense of gratitude for the remarkable cure I have received by the use of your invaluable Antiscorbutic Drops, I forward yon the particulars of my case, that others who may be similarly afflicted may know where lo apply for relief. For twenty years 1 had a most inveterate Scorbutic Eruption upon my arms, legs, and back of my neck, attended with the most intolerable itching and smarting.— I tried various remedies, and had the advice of Medical Men in this City^ but all to no purpose: the disease increased to such a degree as lo destroy my rest at night, mv appetite and general health failed, and I despaired of recovery. Being recommended to give your Ami-, scorbutic Drops a trial, I purchased a small bottle from Mr. Edwards, Druggist, of this City, and after taking Five Small Bottles, to my great astonishment, as well as that of my family, the complaint was entirely eradi- cated ; and 1 am now able to follow my business, which before I was incapable of attending to. It will give me pleasure to answer any enquiries ; either personally, or if by letter, post- paid. 1 remain your obedient servant, JOHN SMITH, Saddler Sc Harness maker, Market- street, Lichfield.

GBNTLEMEN, Tg^ O withhold from public knowledge a & manifest fact of tiie utility, and perfect cure effected by your CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS upon me, would be the greatest ingratitude, as long as it is an incumbent duty of every man, to facilitate tlie comfort of his afflicted fellow- creatures. In the year 1797, I caught a most, violent cold, which affected my Breast and Lungs so much, that 1 could scarcely speak to be understood, and remained so for the space of two mouths ^ at same time accom- panied with a great discharge from my lungs, which continued wilh unabated force until the year lSt) 9.— When, after having recourse to almost every advice and to no purpose, being in conversation wilb a eutlcman of the faculty, 1 tcld him I thought there was no, perfect cure for an Asthma, to which lie asseutetl, by replying that lie had one himself, and his only relief was by taking frequently some medicines to keep his lungs open. About this time a neighbour came to see me, who said he hdd been equally as bad as I was . then, and he first told tile of CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS, being the medicine- that made him as he was theVi in health, and persuaded me to make trial of a suiall Bottle.— 1 sent for one to Shrewsbury, to Mr. Wood's; the Printer, at which time I had an incessant cough with little or no intermission, inso- much, that I thought my lungs would be rent from iny breast.

Extract from a. Speech delivered by Mr. Canning in Liverpool, in March, 1820. " And why, gentlemen, is it th » t I am satisfied with a system which, it is said, no man can support who is not in love with corruption ? I3 it that I, more than any other man, am afraid to face a popu- lar election? To the last question you can give the answer. To the former I will answer for nivself. 1 do verily believe, as I have already said, that a complete and perfect democi'atical representation, such as the reformers aim at, cannot exist us part of mixed government. It may exist, and for aught I know or care, may exist beneficially as a whole. But I am not sent to parliament to inquire into the question whether a democracy or a monarchy be tbe best. My lot is cast under ilie British monarchy. — Under that I have lived, under that I have seen my country flourish j under that I have seen it eiijoy as great a share of prosperity, of happiness, and of glory, as I believe any modification of human society to be capable of bestowing ; and I am not prepared to sacrifice or to hazard the fruit of cen- turies of experience, of centuries of struggles, and of mure than one century of liberty as perfect as ever blessed any country upon the earth, for vision, ary schemes of ideal perfectibility, or doubtful experiments even of possible. improvement. " I am, therefore; for the House of Commons as a part and not us the whole of the government. And, as a part of the government, 1 hold it lo be frantic lo suppose, that from the election of members of parliament you can altogether exclude, by any con- trivance, even if it were desirable to do so, the in- fluence of property, rank, tulents, family connexion, aud whatever else, in the radical language of the day, is considered as intimidation or corruption. I believe, lhat if a reform to the extent of that de- manded by the radical reformers were granted, you would, before an annual election came round, find that there were new connexions grown up which you must dispossess of authority, and that in these fruitless attempts at unattainable purity you were working against the uutural current of humuu nature. " I believe, therefore, that, contrive how you will, some such human motives of action will find room to operate in the election of members of parliament. Ithi uk that it must and ought to be so, unless you mean to exclude from the concerns Of thut nation all inert wealth, all inactive talent, the retired, the aged, the infirm, all who cannot face popular assem- blies or engage in busy life : iu short, unless you have found some expedient for disarming property of influence, without ( what I hope we are not yet ripe for) the abolition of property itself. " I would have by choice— if the choice were yet to be made— 1 would have in llie Houseof Commons great variety of interests, aud I would have them find their way there by a great variety of rights of election; satisfied that uniformity of election would produce anything but a just representation of various interests. Ai to the close boroughs, 1 know that through them have found their way men who have been an honour to their king, and whose names are interwoven with the history of their country. I cannot think that system altogether vicious which has produced such fruits. I cannot thiuk iliat there should be but oue road into that assembly, or that 110 man should be presumed fit for the deliberations of a senate; who lias not had the nerves previously to face the storms of the hustings. " But, gentlemen, though ihe question of reform is made the pretext of those persons who have vexed the country for some months, I verily believe that there are very few even of them who either give credit to their own exaggerations, or care much about the improvements which they recommend. Why, do we not see that the most violent reformers of the day are aiming at seats in that assembly, whicli, according to tlieir own theories, they should have left to wallow in its own pollution, discounte- nanced and unredeemed ! It is true, that if they had found their way there, they might have endea- voured to bring its to a sense of our misdeeds, and to urge us to redeem our character by some self, condemning ordinance: but would not the authority of tlieir names; as our associates, have more than counterbalanced the force of- their eloquence as our reformers ? " Gentlemen, I trust there are few, very few . reasonable and enlightened men ready to lend themselves to projects of confusion. But I coufess I vetry inuch wish, that all who are not ready to do so would consider Ihe ill effect of any countenance given, publicly or by apparent implication, to those whom, in their hearts and judgments, they despise. " May every man who lias a stake in the country, whether from situation, from character, from wealth, from his family, and from the hopes of his children— may every man who has a sense of the blessing's for which he is indebted to the form of government under which he lives, see that the time is come at which his decision must be taken, and, when once taken, stedfastly- acted upon— for or against the institutions of the British monarchy."

SUICIDE OF THE POLITICAL UNION — The Edin- burgh Political Union has al length been consigned to the abode of all abominations. It has committed suicide. This is au event which, long ago, was foretold in our columns. We repeatedly declared that the thing would never do; we exposed the characters and pretensions of the people who had got it up ; and we proved to every person of sound mind, that it was begot in ignorance, and fostered by violence. We are glad that there is now an end of such a business. But we must inform our readers of the manner in which this Political Union has extinguished itself. The way in which this event was brought about, is highly characteristic of the affair, and its contrivers altogether. The chairman, Mr. Brodie, who has hitherto allowed himself to be the cat's paw of his fellows, having been tormented by his friends on account of his connexion with so disgraceful a set of persons, as those who ostensibly conducted the Union— at length resolved lo free himself f rotii so grievous an imputation. But how to get out of the business, was a question not so easily to be resolved. Accordingly he determined, like many other sagacious persons, " to bie'e hi* time." An opportunity at length presented itself. On the late occasion of forwarding an address to his Majesty, on the subject of the " bill," the secretary, who seems to bea radical, out- and- out, inadvertent- ly, as he says, inserted in the address a few words, advising a large creation of peers. These words were not authorised by the meeting— and were in- troduced expressly in defiance of the chairman's advice— who protested against their use," when he accidentally discovered the mistake of the secretary, as he is somewhat maguiloqnently called. The words were accordingly expunged— and the address was forwarde- d ( much to the satisfaction of the radical secretary 110 doubt), to the proper quarter. But the matter did riot end here. The chairman insisted that he had been insulted, e. v officio, by fhe learned and radical secretary ;— and as of course he would not brook an ex officio insult, above all others^ he begged leave to cut the club!— So has evaporated this bottle of smoke. Mr. Brodie, we think, did quite right in resigning his charge— which, he may have conceived, might prove rather burdensome iu these times. But as he was the only person whe- had any claim to respect, for talent or any tiling else connected with this pitiful " Union," we trust' that we shall hear no more of it or its affairs.— Edinburgh Evening Post.

AMP COUK1EM OF WALK political anions. [ FROM THE STANDARD ] It hns hern triumphantly asked why the enemies of revolution do not declare their sentiments at public meetings? The answer is, because at public meetings there is no freedom for any but the promoters of change and confusion. Then comes the chuckling replication to this answer— yoft admit that the popu- lar feeling is strong against you— that you are driven to K hole* and comers" to give utterance to your opinions. To this replication we cau but rejoin, that the people do not constitute the mass of public meet- ings, and upon that point we take issue. Before trying this issue, we may as well put in form another disputed question,' which is connected With it, rtnd which will be found to depend Upon the same evidence—" the Political Onions." " These volun- tary and tinbought associations, ihev, numerous as they are, and mure numerous as they are becoming they surely afford an• unequivocal testimony to the feelings of their order— that is, of the middle and lower classes ofthe people" To fhis proposition we again reply, that the Political Unions consist, in a great degree, of the same persons who make up pub- lic meeting*— who neither are the people, properly so called, nor represent that people. Now for the proof. In order fo proceed in a strict argumentative process, we shall confine ourselves to the consideration of one place— Loudon, the place with which we are best acquainted. If there be in the City of London « 3(^, 000 com- mon thieves, who consider themselves a body, not merely apart from, bnt antagonist to, the rest of the community," who, " whenever there has appeared a prospect of political disturbance, have made ready to sack the town,"— if these people have " assumed that whatever circumstance should cause a large congre- gation of prople in the streets would probably lead to a collision between the people and tbe govcr- menf— if these people felt 41 a slavish royalty to King William,"— if, again, besides these, there be a band of " 1000 desperadoes in London- dram- drinkers and gosaipers, who are willing to go any length for a republic"— if there be still some other thousands of still more fanatical desjieradoes, bent on the destruction of all existing law, " with a view to the formation of a new state of society, in which there should subsist either a perfect equality of pro- perty, or no property at all"— if these fanatical desperadoes should more particularly desire " the destruction of the Post Office, the Bank, the reposi tory of wills at Doctors'Commons, the deeds in all the public offices, and iu the hands of lawyers, 1*— if all the classes of anarchists above described, amount- ing to probably 40,000 men, " feel that their only chance of executing fheir several purposes is by a congregation of themselves in the street. « "— if to these be added 60,000 imperfectly employed, and therefore discontented, labourers— have we not a profuse* supply of elements for 44 public meetings" and 44 political unions," without having recourse to the sober and industrious million and more, who take no part in political matters? Upon the several hypotheses we have put ( none of which we expect to have received without full proof), we may then safely assert that, there are always in London from 50,000 to 100,000 persons who are not properly the people, nor of the people, but who, nevertheless, would be, for the very sake of provoking " a collision with the government," and 44 congregat- ing themselves in the streets," at all times anxious, nay, the most anxious persons in the metropolis, to promote and attend public meetings and political unions, as the handmaids to such meetings; and who would also take the part at such meetings that would * iold out the best promise of early confusion. We are next to consider that all the late public meetings in London have fallen short of 20,000 : that when the sections went up to address the King, they scarcely approached the number assigned ; and on fhe day of the White Conduit House muster, a still more numerous gathering, the number scarcely reached 20,000. Supposing, then, but a third of the thieves and desperadoes, whom we have hitherto assumed as available for public meetings, and who always will be most forward in making public meet- ings, on duty on either day, we have each mob accounted for, without in tlie slightest degree referring fo popular feeling. What we say of mobs we say of Political Unions, from which mobs emanate. Let these Unions publish their innsfer roll of uames— nnd few indeed will be the number of these names not referable to one or other of the classes above described. And now, before we come fo the proof of all that we have above assumed, let us ask one question. Can the thieves nnd desperadoes enume- rated believe that the government which, with the full knowledge it ought to have of their numbers and « le « « gn « j invites sectional processions and indjrertfy orders illuminations, and confesses an interest in their outrages, as proofs that no re. action has taken place — can the thieves nnd desperadoes believe that the government so acting towards themselves and still he* itating to punish the murderers and incendiaries of Derby, Nottingham, and Bristol— would employ against their London supporters those vigorous means by which only their designs could l> e tfit- dually resisted ? he ratus qf civil government, ( for which, by the way has no commission), he tries to levy an army. What the government may be disposed fo do in | respect to this levying of war we are unable to say. We have a King, however, and when he again begins to reign we shall have a government that probably will know how to vindicate the laws, and to protect their master's subjects and his crown. In the mean time, we must impress upon our friends and the hun- dreds of our correspondents who have pressed us for advice— the sacrCd duty of discretion. Wrhen the King invites liis people to take arms for the preserva- tion of order, let no man hesitate to fly to the royal colours; but let no man, except for purposes most strictly defensive of his own house and family, and his immediate neighbours' houses and families, anticipate the royal invitation by any armament. We stand by the laws. Let us respect them with the most studious care. We maybe betrayed by those who are sworn and paid to provide for the public safety— many of our fellow- subjects have been so betrayed to their ihjury and even ruin. Still, if we use patience, resolution, and discretion, we use means which never failed to give triumph in the end.

THE HOST Hlustrious & <£ mtncnt persons CHOLERA MONNUS. The Neivcastle Courant of Friday does not bring down the retnrns from Sunderland later than Wednes day. It states, however, that the intelligence of Thursday w'as not so cheering or satisfactory as it bad continued to anticipate from the favourable accounts at the commencement of the ure!;. A large school had been fitted up as a hospital, in which, on the latter day, there were five patients labouring under the disease. The reported extension of the malady to Newcastle or Stockton, does not appear to he well founded. Dr. Daun, in a letter addressed to the Guardians and Overseers of Birmingham, under date of Tues- day, observes—" If an almost perfect similarity of symptoms during life, and appearances after death, lie sufficient to establish the identity of Ihe tvro diseases, that which has recently appeared in Sunderland is .. . | Rome of the papers have published an account of the proceedings of the Birmingham Union, together with a'draft of an administrative constitution for the government of England, that is not to be presented to King or parliament, but to be put into immediate operation by the authority of Mr. Attwood and the other members of tbe Union Committee. We say that this is Ihe draft of an administrative constitution for the government of F. ngland, and we say so upon this ground, the principle of the Union is to extend by affiliation and correspondence all over the island ; if this principle he followed up, " the Onion" will spread itself every where, and leave no place forthe exercise of any executive authority by the crown, or the officers of the crown. Whatever Sir Thomas Denman may say to the contrary, we assert that the Union is unlawful. We contend tint it comes plainly within the equity of the rule, that the coercion of the King's person is a crime equivalent to an attack upon his life, and the author- ity of his government. If half- a dozen ruffians, self- appointed constables, were to seize upon his Majesty at Brighton, and forcibly compel him to any public act contrary to liis inclination, there could be 110 doubt that these men would incur the guilt of high treason, and would probably undergo its- punish- ments, however absurd soever their treason might be thought. Surely the case is not mended, because the self appointed functionaries include King, parliament, and people in the objects of their proposed duress, and liecause they try to enrol a body of ruffians sufficiently numerous to protect their proceedings from a character of mere ibllv. Whether regarded as a civil executive organization, or, as wlmt it truly is, a military organization for offensive pur- poses— any occasion for recurring to the use of a defensive organization cannot be pretended with a grave face— ihe Union is a treasonable association. In fact, the constitution of England knows of but one source of executive authority— the King. — Whatever power of appointing executive officers may be vested in parish meetings, corporate bodies. See is still but on emanation from the royal authority : these officers | net in tbe King's name, and from their small number, division, and weakness, in consequence, they must always act in complete subordination to the Sovereign authority. When men have handed themselves in thousands, and, as they say, in lens und hundreds of t'lOUfrjids, a totally different case presents itself. Thes° men in their institution, whatever its object may be, make no acknowledgment of legal authority above them. Tliey give, and can give, 110 pledge for their loyalty ; and if theii* numbers become as great, as they wish to make them, tbey will constitute a power in fact, as well as professedly, independent of the law. We put Ihe matter abstractedly, liecause we wish now to put it most strongly in favour of the legality of the " Union," but if to the advised creation of such a power as is now sought to be created, be added the proposed objects of those who are most active ill the work, and if respect be had to the terp per in which they have hitherto proceeded, little doubt can be entertained that. they, or the present constitution of England, must be speedily put down It is not the pretence of not arming on parade that will take from this body the character of a military force, while tbey are arranged in a military disposi- tion, and arrayed in a military uniform, by the new plan uf government, and while every man is advised to - provide himself with offensive arms. Wc have often seen the Guards engaged in foot exercise while their muskets hung on their racks in the barrack rooms, but we never mistook them for men in civil life— nor will Mr. Atlwood's legions tie so mistaken, though he may nickname his generals aldermen, his captains marshals, and his '- orjeants tithingnien— or though, 111 der the prelenci J constructing an sppa- unqueslionably the Indian or Spasmodic Cholera, prefer the name of Malignant Cholera, as a designa- tion expressive of its very fatal character, and not implying the existence of a symptom which, though generally, is not invariably present. The number of cases of Malignant Cholera is surprisingly small, when it is considered that it is now above a fortnight since the disease first appeared here, where, from the filth, poverty, and density of the pauper population, in many parts of the town, it might have been ex- pected ( considering the rapidity with which it spread in every town 011 the Continents of Europe and Asia, after it had once appeared) that there should have been by this time as many hundreds of the inhabit- ants of Sunderland attacked as there have been indi- viduals. The only sufferers hitherto have been the aged, infirm, intemperate, and poor." In confirmation of the foregoing opinion, as to the nature of the disease prevailing at Sunderland, ail eminent physician on the spot, Under date of Thurs- day evening, also says—" The identity of the disease " with that With which I w- as conversant in India is " beyond all question; of this I am convinced both " from the cases I have attended, and from the }) Ost " roorfe? n examinations nt which I was present." He adds likewise, that ( he disease has been chiefly con- fined to the poor and dirty, the aged, the infirm, and dissolute of this class being hitherto its victims.— Up to and including Thursday's report, the number of malignant cases are staled at sixty- four, of which forty- two terminated fatally.

POLITICAL UNIONS! - o WARNING FROM THE CHOLERA.— The following humourous warning upon this grave subject may, perhaps, do more real good than advice in a more serious garb. It is assumed to be addressed to the Editor of a Newspaper :— Sin,— As I am at present residing on the shores of the Baltic, and may pirobably soon pay a visit to rtiy friends in England, I have thought it best to send before hand to your columns a Slight sketch of my history and pro- ceedings. I was born and bred in India. Mv father, who is a well- known old'serpent, named me Cholera, by way of signifying my sympathy and regard forthe cross and choleric portion of mankind. I am psr- ticularly attached to every thing my parent lias a hand in, consorting always, whatever country I inhabit, with the promoters of any kind of evil ana iniquity. The profligates, the drunkards, the gluttons, the lazy, the dirty,- tile quarrelsome, may be sure 1 will find out their abode. And I never fail to fix on those constitutions that have been enfeebled by debauchery, or under- mined by the infallible poisons which are such favour- ites in your counti- y, under the name of quack medi- cines. I prefer lodging always in narrow courts, and in cellars under- ground, in chambers where 110 windows will open, in the neighbourhood of gasometers, ponds, or the purlieus of public- hoitses redolent of. bad beer, among effluvia of punch, whisky, and hlue- iimi. But this I must observe, that if a mail be industrious, sober, and temperate, I shall havenothihg to say tn liim. If he rise early, open wide his windows, wash himself from head to foot, whitewash often his house, take his meals- with his family, and keep himself always in good hum oil i- with his neighbours— such an one I cannot abide. He may live in health, and die in good old age, fnr all 1 can' do to the contrary. I pass by his cheerful' hearth and heart to revel in tiie rotten liver of the dVnnkard, and to stir about the boiling biie of the sutky, the'discontented, arid the litigious. Iam, Sir, Yonr's truly. CHOLERA MORBUS. P. S.— For the information of artificers I beg to add, that Iam very fond of kissing faces well grimed wilh soot and dirt; and that I revel in those stomachs which are stuffed one half the week and starved the other.

IL Williams, Es^. of Eaton Mascott, and Miss Owen, of Woodhouse, was cele- brated in fhis town by tbe ringing of bells, and by other demonstrations of rejoicing and " festivity on the part of Ihe friends and tradesmen of the families so happily united, npwardsof5l) of whom dined at the Raven Inn ; Messrs. Gittins & Cartwright, ironmong- ers, gave a prime sheep with ale, & c, to their work- men on the occasion. It is said that the notable letter from a British M. P. to General Lamarque, inserted in our 4th page, was written by Mr. Joseph Hume! Reports have prevailed to a very considerable ex- tent, tbat some Change of Ministry is not far distant. The Times and Courier however positively deny that the slightest foundation exists for the statement. INCFJIBIARSSM.— We grieve to find that the spirit of incendiarism is not. yet extinguished. The Hamp- shire Chronicle, Salisbury Journal, Norwich Mer- cury, Cambridge Chronicle, Leeds Intelligencer, Dorset Chronicle, Stamford Mercury, and Lincoln Mercury, each detail instances of incendiarism and malignity, involving the destruction uif agricultural produce to a grent amount. It is w- ell observed by a contemporary ( the Essex Herald) —" Of all the wickedness that enters ( he heart of man, none exceeds in enormity that of destroying property by fire. It is indeed ' doing the d— I's work for nothing,' or worse than nothing. It fends to diminish ( l » e quan tity of employment for the poor, and to raise the price bf provisions; it places the life of the perpe- trator in imminent danger, and no class- of society•— no- human being— gains even the- slightest benefit from tbe commission of the crime. Most other ofit- nces may have some palliation, but for arson there is none. How then can those who. are guilty of it expect any mercy from the hands of man when de- tected : and still more awful it is to consider what will be their situation when they stand before the Great Judge of all." We regret there is no donht entertained that the fire at Mr. J. Forgham's, Whixall, noticed in our last, instead of being owing to the negligence of a servant, was tbe wilful and wicked act of a female servant, who has been committed to the county gaol to take her trial for the offence. In consequence, we presume, of the Bristol Political Union having evinced such an anxiety to prevent riot and bloodshed in that city, attempts are making to form similar Unions in various places: and we are given fo understand that one or two of these constitutional bodies have been organized in this district; but as the names of the parties enrolled appear fo be very carefully concealed, we may pre- sume either that they are ashamed of being known to be connected with these societies, or that society at large has some reason to be ashamed of them. We have in other parts of our Journal given some ex- tracts that may be useful in explaining the nature, composition, and objects of those associations; and, therefore, w- e shall not go over those grounds again. Tbe act, craft, and mystery of making and mending constitutions hath, however, at various times been a favourite pursuit of some portion of the English people. The " machinery" of Government is a com- paratively modern phrase, and we should suspect that it. has been suggested by the incredible number of small engineers who have of late years professed to understand it thoroughly, and who liaVe voluntarily undertaken to tinker thereon. The propensity is, however, neither novel nor confined to England. Lord Bolingbroke observed, a century ago, that even " Socrates used tn say, although no man undertakes a trade he has not learned, even the meanest, yet every one thinks himself qualified for ( he hardest of all trades— that of Government. He said this upon the experience lie had in Greece. He would not change his opinion if he lived now in Britain." A modem writer, adverting to the same topic, has also very truly remarked— « It would seem the science of government is aft unappropriated region in the universe of knowledge. Those sciences with which the passions can never interfere, are considered to be atlainable only by study and by reflection ; while there are not many youmr men who doubt of their ability to make a constitution, or to govern a kingdom ; at the same time, there cannot, perhaps, be a more decided proof of a superficial understanding, than the depreciation of those difficulties which are inseparable from the science of government. To know well the local and the natural man ; to track the silent march of human affairs; to seize, with happy intuition, 011 those great laws which regulate the prosperity of empires; to reconcile principles to circumstances, and be no wiser than the times will permit; to anticipate the effects of every speculation upon the entangled relations and awkward complexity of real life; and to follow out the theorems of the senate to the daily comforts of the cottage ; is a task which they will fear most who know it best; a task in which the great and good have often failed, and which it is not only wise, but pious and just in common men to avoid. " There is a malignity of disposition which is un favourable to the interests of the country in which we live, a weariness of the general content, a disgust at the diffusion of happiness, and a desire to propa- gate a contagious and epidemic misery. In a differ- ent temperament, this predisposing cause is a love of turbulence, an impatience of every thing tranquil, and a horror of stagnant serenity and insipid content. Above all, there is that horrid passion of convulsing and reversing which would place the heel of ( he rustic upon the neck of the noble— would worship the pandects and decretals of peasants— and thrust the sacred gold of the sceptrc into hands lhat had ever clenched the scythe nnd the spade. " There lies at the bottom of all vast communities a numerous sect Of men, of open or disguised poverty, who have lost fortune or fame in the sink of pleasure, and quenched every particle of good in voluptuous enormities and Crimes; base, bad men, who prey npon industry, and hate virtue; who would tear down the decencies, and pollute the inno- cence of life, that they might make mankind as wretched as themselves, and spread fhe horror of lingoverned passions and unqualified indulgence Here is the first nucleus of all revolutions; it matters not, whether fhe object he to enslave the people, or to free them ; to give them up to another's tyranny, or to the more cruel dominion of their own folly ; to establish a despotism, or a democracy. In all revo- lutions tliere is plunder and change; and here are the hordes of assassins and robbers, the tools of poli- tical violence, tutored l> y their ancient pleasures, and fheir present distress to callous inhumanity and boundless rapine." We have always felt gratification in extending our aid in promoting works of intelligence, and it is with the earnest desire to assist that ardent thirst for litera. ture and art which so Strongly characterises the present age, that we announce to our readers, with no ordinary feelings of gratification, the approaching Exhibition of One of the most Splendid Collections of Art, which will be thrown open to public inspection, in the Great Room at the Lion Inn, Shrewsbury, on Saturday next. All our readers are more or less acquainted with Mr. Lodge's admirable Publication of Memoirs of the Lives, and Engravings of the Port raits, of the most Illustrious Personages of British History ; few of them, however, have had an oppor- tunity to visit the Splendid Gallery, from wliencc these engravings have been executed ; hitherto this mental treat has been limited to the Capital, but prior to our next publication many of our readers will have had the pleasure of a personal inspection of these beautiful illustrations of Historical Biography ; and, for ourselves, we feel a pride in thinking that we shall thus have an opportuniiy of enjoying one at least of the highest gratifications of the Metropolis. THF BRISTOL RIOTS.— It will be seen by the official documents, published in the Bristol Journal, that the Ministers shrink from an investigation into the cause of these atrocities'.— This fact, coupled With tbe not less striking circumstances connected with the retirement of Mr. Hulton from the Magistracy of Lancashire ( see 4 th page J, will afford ground for be- lieving that unless the reign of the present Ministry CI c es very soon, the predominancy of law and order will \ ery speedily be terminated. « jt) i'cUfl0t> ur|> ^ unt.

What will these sagacious judges of the conduct of public men now say, when they learn ( as tbey must have learnt before this, 011 the authority ofthe Reforming Mayor of Bristol himself,) that Sir Charles Wetherell proceeded to discharge his official duty at Bristol with tbe well- considered consent and sanction of government, formally consulted 011 the subject through the noble Secretary of State for the Home Department. If the end of all good government be, as we believe it is, to keep and preserve the people committed to its charge in peace, security, and comfort so far as these blessings can he influenced by government, how lamentably has the administration of Lord Grey- failed in its due effect. If a government is to be known by its fruits, what can any reasonable man say in favour of the present one. In many places the worst evils that ensue from a total abseuce of govern- ment have been endured— in all places there is disquietude, apprehension, decay of profitable bu- siness, and a fearful looking forward to calamity. From this ministry we have every thing to fear, and we confess we can see nothing to hope. They cannot lie wise, even if ( hey would, for they have leagued themselves with disturbers. The country demands their fall as a sacrifice to its tranquillity.— Essex Standard. WALES. MARRIED. On the 9th inst. at Tunbridge Wells, Mr. Thomas Lloyd Griffiths, only son of Mr. T.

And, first, I do assert, Sir, that a large majority of the party there assembled were inde- pendent Gentlemen of the highest respectability resident, in various parts of the county ; of non- residents there were lint few— among them I might name Sir Edward Kynaston, and Mr. LLoyd, of Leaton Knolls, who came amongst us expressly on Ihe occasion ; the remaining number was composed of substantial Freeholders, and Tradesmen of the town and neighbourhood of Welsh Pool. Any attempt on my part to prove the independence of these Gentlemen, would be almost as insulting as T. B. B.* s unfounded assertion of their dependence. T. B. B. triumphantly alludes to 1700 names attached: in the short space of one day—( busy day that)— to a petition from the county iu favour of the Reform Bill. I cannot doubt their respectability ; yet I beg leave to say, that if from this 1700 T. B. B. will be pleased to selcct for public insertion in your Paper tiie names and addresses of 200 of the most independent, the remainder of your columns shall contain the names and addresses of those who attended the Dinner at Pool; and then the County shall judge between us. lam, Sir, Vour. obedient humble servant, JOHN DA VIES.

Although the demand fer Butter has been much more brisk this week; and although prices may he quoted somewhat higher, yet the unsteadiness and fluctuation of our Market continue. The general opinion of the dealers is, ( as we last week observed,) that there is a considerable quantity of Butter yet to come npon the Market. If this be true, and if the assertions of the Irish dealers respecting the. scarcity of Butter are false, we inus- t look for a decline ih prices; but,' if these assertions are true, ( which must soon be seen,) we Shali, in a very short time, have to state a further advance in every quality of Butter. Even, in the former ease, though Butters may decline until afler Christmas, there is little doubt of a correspondent rise following throughout the spring. This week we quote as below.

" Sir,— I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of a Memorial, numerously signed by the Merchants, Bankers, Traders, and other Inhabitants of the city of Bristol, deeply lamenting the riotous and disgraceful proceedings which have recently occurred in that city, and the sad destruction of property resulting therefrom; stating further that the lives and properties of the. citi- zens were for a considerable time entirely at the mercy of a desperate mob, and that the memorialists are firmly convinced that all this might have been prevented, Jf proper precautions had been adopted, and earnestly re- questing that I would cause an Investigation to be in- stituted, as the only course that will pacify the mind of the public and restore confidence in future. ' It is certainly to me no matter of surprise that so large a portion of the inhabitants of Bristol as have signed the Memorial should feel themselves deeply affected by the melancholy events which have recently- taken place in that city, and that they should be most anxious to seize the earliest opportunity and the most effectual means of relieving themselves from the im- putation of having either encouraged or permitted such lawless oiilrage and violence. Il is impossible not en- tirely to agree with the memorialists that the fullest and strictest investigation which the law authorises and empowers is requested lo be instituted into the conduct both of the Civil and Military authorities. If there is reason to presume that these unfortunate events have had their origin in supineness, neglect of duty, or delin- quency, such delinquency should be enquired into by due process of laic, and according to the established forms of legal proceedings. If the disastrous results which have been witnessed, are to be attributed- to ah imperfect and inadequate constitution of the Civil authorities, such imperfection can only be remedied and supplied by the exercise of the royal prerogative, or by the intervention of the power of the Legislature. '' / am not aware of any other course being open, either to Government irr to individuals, which would be sanctioned by PRECEDENT in this country, or conformable to the law of the land and the Constitution, and it there- fore becomes my duty, to request you to assure the memorialists that, in either Case, His Majesty's Govern- ment will be most anxious to receive all the information which can be collected relating to the late calamitous disturbances at Bristol, to give it their most attentive consideration, to submit it to those Advisers who are the most competent to decide upon its import and bearing, and to adopt upon it such measures as may be required, either of ANIMADVERSION upon the past or of PRECAUTION foi the future.

It is said that after llis Lordship had informed the deputation that, they were hazarding a prosecution for sedition, if not. for high treason, one of the delegates remonstrated against such treatment, alleging the hard- ship of their case as connected with the conduct of the Government. He declared that it was indeed a harsh measure to menace tliern with the vengeance of the law, for doing no more than that to w71ic. il tin? Cabinet itself had urged them on by their example; that the people were only seeking to obtain their just rights by lawful means, and by Meetings and Unions of the- same description as those which had been publicly eulogised and sanctioned by the highest officers in the State."

The intention of tbe follow- ing placard, posted on Thursday morning, cannot be misunderstood:— " BristOIians,— There is a Court of Enquiry to be held at the Merchants' Hall, King- street, this day, Thursday, 17th iiist. at 11 o'clock, with regard to tile conduct of Col.

It is with much pleasure we give publicity to the following letter from the Mayor and Magistrates to Major Beckwith. The cond'uct of the 14th Light Dragoons, during the late riotous proceedings, Cannot be too highly praised, nor will their promptitude iu performing the duty imposed upon them be ever for gotten by the grateful citizens of Bristol i — " Council House, Bristol, 8th Nov. 1831. " Sir,— I am desired by my brother Magistrates to offer you our sincere thanks for the prompt, decisive, and effectual assistance, which you afforded to the city immediately upon your arrival, and also to the officers and soldiers ot the 14th Light Dragoons, under your command. We feel that it- is due to the officers and'pri- vates, to express our sentiments that even before your arrival the fullest reliance might have been placed upon thetti, and we cannot but consider their removal from the city on Sunday morning as the unfortunate cause of the calamities which fell upon it on that day and the following night, We are fully assured that the order to withdraw was submitted to with great reluctance, and we hope that you, and your officers and soldiers, will do us the justice to believe that the order did not proceed from the Magistrates of.

Miijor- Geatral Sir Richard Jackson, K. C. B. to bear the orders of General Lord Hill, Commander- in- Chief, relating to Iheir conduct during the late unhappy riots in this city The Com- mander- in- Chief expressed his pleasure that it should have fallen to the lot of one of his own personal Staff, Major MaCkworth, to have materially assisted the Magistrates of Bristol with his exertions and advice, and referred to the letter of thanks addressed bv the Magistrates of Bristol to that officer. His Lordship then proceeded to remark on tbe admirable conduct of Captain Gage, of the 14th Light Dragoons, and Cornet Kelson, of the 3d Dragoon Guards, in the delicate and difficult duties assigned to them ; and expressed himself highly satisfied wiih thc steady and altogether excellent conduct of the non commissioned officers and privates of the two detachments of Dra- goons, in aid of the civil authorities.— Lord Hill, in naming Major Beckwith, of the 14th Dragoons, Inst in point of time, as that officer only arrived in Bristol 011 the Monday morning, assured him that his services were by no means less important than those of the other officers named; but that, on tbe contrary, his lordship had abundant evidence of Major Beckwith's promptitude and success in applying the military means entrusted to his care. In communicating Lord Hill's orders to the troops, the Major- General ex- pressed himself peculiarly happy in being aide to do so on the very ground where their services had been r ndered, and in thc presence of two such distinguished corps as the Royal Horse Artillery and 5' 2d Light Infantry. The value of buildings and other property, destroy- ed by the mob during their late riots in this city," is now estimated at about £ 130,000. Noticing the correspondence addressed to the Se, cretary of State hy the Mayor of Bristol, the Editor of Felix Farley's Journal says —" There isone omission, however, in his Wor- h'p's Letters, which struck THE REFORM BII. L. It, appears to me that people generally are much mote taken up with the discussion upon the details of the Bill, than ivilh its general spirit and tendency. Let us consider for a moment what the English nation has become under our present system of government, and also what it is likely to become under the pro- posed alteration of system. From being one of the least powers of Europe, both in numbers, and in extent of territory; the English has become the greatest, the most powerful, and the most wealthy nation in the world. Our foreign possessions exceed those of all our contemporaries 01,11' moral, religions, and political influence, extend to Ihe utmost limits of the globe. The personal happiness and se- curity of the people has never been equalled in ancient or modern times; and I believe it will not be disputed, that those virtues which most exalt a nation ( unim- peachable honesty, universal benevolence, and un- wearied, charity), are here found in their highest perfection, I do not pretend to decide whether or not, these virtues are entirely owing to oue system of government, but they certainly have been fostered and encouraged under it ; and I may also' observe, that this system has excited the admiration of great and good men of all ages and all nations, and that it has been the model of most of the free governments ( including even that of Ihe Unit < 1 States) which have been established in modern times. If it failed with lliem, it. was becausethey ( tike our reformers) fancied that they could improve upon it, but alterations are not always improvements Now what will be tbe probable effect ( if the pro- posed reformation upon the state of this great and , prosperous people ? Every impartial reader of the political papers and pamphlets which now inundate the kingdom, must see that their ultimate object is Republicanism. Such is manifestly the tendency of their favourite measure. Now what would the change i! o fur lis ? The government of the country would be gradually taken out of the hands of the intelligent, the wealthy, and tlie experienced, and placed in the hands of the delegates of a capricious and, versatile democracy— The just influence arid the security uf property being destroyed, the crcdit, and hitherto inviolable good faith of England, would be destroyed also.— The new Counsel'jrs of the State, being of that class who in all ages and nations have rieen the most fickle and intemperate, would lose the respect and veneration of other nations, which is entirely owing to our straight- forr. ard and upright conduct. Vested rights, Royal Charters, the Church Establishment, and indeed (/?;?/ thtny, however just, reasonable, and beneficial it may have beer., would be hastily sacri- ficed on the shrine of blind " expediency."— All this has been done, and may be done again.— There can be no doubt, that most, if not all of England's Foreign possessions, would declare their independence, arid dissolve their " union" with her. So that, from being the most powerful, and • in every sense of the word the greatest nation in the world, her empire would be contracted to her geographical limits, and her influence would not extend beyond her own shores. The TeHt- book of Republicans is America ; and tlieir only wish is, to assimilate the government of England to that of America.— Now let us consider this.— The great end of all government is the welfare of the people.-— Now does tlte American system promote this end better than the English ? Is there more domestic happiness? Is there more personal security aud independence? Is there not as much misery and wretchedness iu America as in England ? ( I might answer, more/ there were upwards of three thousand beggars in the city of Boston, at the last census!)— Is there so much philanthropy aud benevolence; and is there not a great deal more infidelity, and indifference to . all religion ;*— is there not a great deficiency of moral principle; with an almost universal disregard of truth, in America?— In short, is not every thing- which renders man Virtuous, estimable, and honour, able, and all lhat renders him free, happy, and prosperous, to be found pre eminently in England, moie than, ( not only America) but all the countries of Ihe Globe? If this is so, and that it is so no unprejudiced man will deny, what have we io gain by a change?-— Nothing! worse than nothing! Let us beware, lest we follow the ignis faiuus of reform too far ; let us not seek to change that which never has, and probably never can be changed, for the better — Let us hot compare ourselves with ourselves, hut with other nations, and not be led away by. in- terested and unprincipled demagogues, whose micros- copic eyes magnify petty faults and blemishes ( mere spots 011 the sun) into intolerable abuscsand monstrous anomalies; but let us look rather to the general effects of the whole system; and if we find ( as we most assuredly shall) that none equal lis in national happiness and national prosperity, let us leave others lo experimentalize, but let, us be satisfied, " to let well alone."— Let us revere and support our glorious constitution, in Church and State, and fight her battles, against all foes, past, present, and to come !— By a Correspondent of the Birmingham Journal. Accounts from Warsaw say that there will be a general amnesly granted both for the army and nation, and it'is positive- thai Polamt w ill remain a separate nation, but Ihe Diet will- be. rep, laced, by the Provincial States,- and t he Government ,>\ i 11. remain '. it St. Fetersburgh.' It is further, stated . that the Empe'ror of Russia has issued. a manifesto addressed to all the Powers of Europe relating to the affair* of Poland, ill which it is said he leaves them to remain a separate nation. He also gives them the choice of a new tariff to regulate tlu ir commerce ; but it is feared that the restrictions itre such that the Poles may only call themselves a nominal separate nation. The Berkshire Chronicle, in congratulating it, readers on the failure of an attempt to establish a Political Union at Reading, says—" The plan of governing a country by Clubs was tried in Trance, during tiie revolution, and its fruits were the eleva- tion of such monsters as Robespierre and his fellows . to supreme power, and the sacrifice of thousands tu the insatiate cruelty of wretches who would have dis- graced a gibbet. Yet there are persons who are still anxious lo establish these infamous clubs in this country. Tbe utmost we can hope of MU. 1I persons — and we do, so in all charily— is, that tlley are defective in those qualities which distinguish the reasonable being from the idiot— judgment and fore- sight." It cannot be too generally known that Societies nr Clubs communicating with each other by means of committees, delegates, or representatives of any kind, whatever may be their object or purpose, whether for a political purpose, or even wjfh the avowed ob- ject of assisting in the preservation uf the public peace, are declared by law to be unlawful - combina- tions, ami subjected to heavy penalties; and that all active members of such societies or clubs, ami all persons maintaining correspondence, or intercourse with them, or with any of their delegates oY'mcmhers, may be proceeded against and punished.

The following extract from a Review of the Memoirs of Count Segur, place some of the proceed- ings ofthe French Revolution in a new light, and may be serviceable as a caution to respectable individuals bow they join in attempting innovations that are calculated to lead to dangerous changes in the order of society :— On the Count's return tu Paris, he found the me- tropolis burning with all the fury of faction; the nobles, wakened from their illusions, now saw the faliil consequences of the spirit of innovation which they bad so blindly worshipped, and were doing their utmost to resist tbe current which they themselves had put in motion The following conversation with his old friend and fellow. soldier, Lafayette, will shew how little he was aware of the inevitable course of revolutions, and how impotent had been all his efforts to arrest it, " ' 1 know not,' said Lafayette, < by what fatality a hideous party, hitherto hid in darkness, has issued forth to mingle with the true people in every great crisis, and to stain them by their excesses. There issued forth, I know not whence, a certain number of brigands, seemingly paid by unknown hands, and who, in spite of all our efforts, have committed the ntosf. frightful excesses In vain we chased them and dispersed ( hem; they instantly reappeared. Affer the taking of the Rastilc, their fury led them to infamous murders, anil Paris itself was menaced with pillage; the spontaneous organization of the National Guard alone saved il front destruction. " ' We have in vain made the most vigorous search for these wretches; the source from which the mis- creants issued who have inundated the capital, and all the towns of the kingdom is as much unknown t as to the government. I can only on that subject entertain suspicions supported by no sort of proof, lu the month of last October, lhat band of ruffians, mingling with the disorderly movements of the crowd assembled every thing which was most abandoned in the capital. While 1 was using my utmost efforts at the Hotel de Ville to maintain order, I learned that a numerous band of these ruffians had taken the road lo Versailles: there they broke into the royal apart, menls, and were within a hair breadth of committing the most terrific murders. Such scenes have mingled chagrin with the just, hopes of our country, and blighted the hopes of the immense majority who longed for salutary reform, and the establishment of the true representative government.' " ' How could it be otherwise:" replied I, ' your march has been so rapid that it could produce no other effects. Yon have destroyed the distinction of the three orders, rednced to one chamber the national representation, abolished the privileges ofthe noblesse, confiscated the property of the church, concentrated in the National Assembly all the powers of the state How many enemies have these violent acts created! You have swept every tiling away in legislation ; yon hare indeed travelled far in a short time ' " ' Consider that when you overturn an edifice, its ruins remain without movement, lifeless on Ihe earth ; but it is not thus wilh human institutions; Ihey have given tn a multitude of individuals, to entire classes of society, subsistence, enjoyments, and distinction : rights consecrated in their eyes by custom, and to which they cling with as much tenacity as to life it- self. Such a destruction, so sudden, so audacious, promises a long night of suffering.' "' That may be very true,' replied Lafaveltc; " but you imagine that we have acted from design, Many times has the question been asked, what honest or salutary purposes are such Unions calcu- lated to effect? It is asked in vain. If we merely nqtiire " What purpose >" the repl y is obvious ; or f there be any doubt, the darkest and bloodiest pages of French history will furnish the solution. Some difficulty, to be sure, must arise, ill assign- ing the objects of an Union, when the united them- selves are at variance on essential points. But their intentions, as represented by their most accredited supporters, are, principally, these :— to protect property and the peace ; and, as the Times ex- presses it, to force Reform on a refractory peerage; or, us it is more elegantly worded by a man wilh a French name from Manchester, who is good enough to devote his time to the interests of the metropolis, a Mr. Detrosier, " to check for ever the rapacity of a borougtimongering oligarchy." What have these Unions ever done for the public peace ? Ireland, under the Catholic Association, was brought to the verge of civil war. Til the county towns of England they have carried 011 the business of agitation with something more of method and solemnity than belonged to the occasional meetings which were formerly brought together at any time of peculiar excitement ; but they have converted that into a permanent, calculated tyranny, which before was only casual and passing disorder. When was it known, till these Unions began, lhat the greatest mercantile towns of the kingdom were commuuded, al the capricious pleasure of some un- authorised inhabitants, to suspend business and close their shops aud factories? 19 this peace? Is it peace to have the apparatus of rebellion daily paraded at our gates, to feel that it depends upon the policy of knaves and zealots, or the conscience of desperadoes, whether the day shall end without tumult, or the night without a call to arms? The meeting of the Birmingham Union, which Lord Althorp and Lord John Russell have rendered so famous, passed off without bloodshed or burning, but it sent forth a seditious, almost a treasonable resolution, of worse example than a hundred riots. Manchester 011 Monday was in the state of a be- sieged city, because its Union had chosen to hold a meeting ! Does any oue rely on the preservation of peace by the membersof such an assembly ? Ask those who have friends, or families, or property in Ihe threatened town. Will not they answer, Bris- tol, too, had a Political Union ! Gentlemen associators, leave us to keep tbe peace for ourselves. We shall do it the better, if Ihe working classes will attend to their work, and the middling classes rest satisfied with their mediocrity. We look for protection to the established, the responsible authorities; if the ordinary police is not strong enough, the Government has means of reinforcing it; and if further support be necessary, tiie services of individuals, enemies to revolution, will be freely tendered from all classes, not itide pendeutly and in rivalry, but in aid, and subject to the lawful control, of the constitutional magistrate. The country is still able to guard itself without and, if necessary, against, you. Your offers of protection are too like the old salutation of the highwayman—" Sir, this is a dangerous road; suppose you and 1 ride in company." Your guardianship is a shade under which the industry and prosperity of our fairest towns would soon languish and decay ; and Birmingham and Man Chester, if not Loudon itself, when reduced to such tranquillity as you would give them, might say of reform in the church. The bishops will be de- prived of the right of seats in the House of Lords, and tlieir revenues will be much reduced ! We are forming at this moment public unions aud clubs all over the empire to sustain the ministers and the cause of reform. I hope that these associations will be useful on more than one account. " The delay of Ihe bill, and its rejection, created many doubts iu the minds of the friends of reform as to Ihe sincerity oflhe ministers ; but 1 reckon on the sincerity of Lord Grey and Lord Althorp, who, 1 believe, will be faithful to their promises. " As lo the foreign policy of our ministers with reference to Belgium and Poland, I disapprove as much as you can do their sy stem. Like you I con- sider their conduct vis- a- vis the Belgians worthy the HOLY ALLIANCE, and calculated to destroy the cause of liberty in every country. It is truly pain- ful to behold the Whigs follow the same political system as that of Castlereagh, and I regret to see France adopting the same system, and the Periers and the Sebastianis of your country acting as if they were Villele and Polignac. " We, who differ from the ministers— we have not hitherto attacked them, in order not to weaken their movements in favour of reform. Their ex- penses for the army and navy were loo great, and indeed superfluous, and merited the severest censure. " 1 believe that I shall not be able to give my support to Lord Grey, except relative to the ques- ion of reform. " I believe that France will soon have to repent having abandoned the cause of the Poles, and having tnposed on Ihe Belgians such shameful conditions, and I trust that the French people will soon fully feel and understand the bad conduct of the French overumeut. " We hope that Ihe British parliament will be opened before Ihe 22d November, but we fear that ~., ord Grey will, if possible, drive off the period even to the commencement of the new year." CONSTANTINOPLE. Constantinople appears to be marked for misfor- tunes. It has been wasted by plague and tire, and now hailstone tempests " such as few remember," are added to the catalogue of its calamities. Are these what once would have been considered signs * " Blotches and blains must all his flesh emboss, And all his people— thunder mixed with hail, Hail mixed with fire, must rend the 4 Turkish' sky And wheel on the ground, devouring where it rolls/' • when in truth we have only been impelled by the as it was once said of the Romans, " Ubi force of circumstances. The great judicial bodies, the clergy themselves, almost all those who are now so vehement in condemning tis, have for a long series of years attacked the authority of government, and contributed to the overthrow of existing institutions. The Parliaments, after a host of remonstrances, fully as vehement as the speeches of our tribunes, have appealed to the nation ; but hardly had it responded, to their cries when they wished to silence it. The States General were promised ; the Vninisters hoped to . substitute in its room a Lit de Justice— Vain attempt!— the Court was compelled to give way, and the States- General were assembled. " c" You see now the causes of the explosion under which we are now suffering. Judge then whether, in the midst of such an effervescence, it was in human power to prevent the disorders with which we are reproached. It. is generally those whose imprudence has lighted the con flagration, icho, when the flames approach themselves, arc the first and the loudest in raising Ihe cry of fire? "— III. 452 455. kt It was evident that in bringing about this great revolution every person in the kingdom has con- tributed his share. Every one has done something, according to his force or stature. From the king to the humblest individual in the kingdom, no one has been idle in the work ; the one wished' only that the changes should ascend to the buckle of bis shoe, another to his knee, a third to his waist, a fourth to his shoulders; in fine, many have been willing that it should rise over their head. " What surprised me most was the sudden meta morphosis which a large part of our philosophers had undergone; they were never tired'of declaiming against a revolution which their words and actions had put in motion; they liked it only when in theory, and when they had the monopoly of the distinction arising from its doctrines. The Af. be Sa& atier was one day reproached with his bitterness at the States- General, which he had been the first fo demand, and which he had mainly contributed to brin about. 4 Yes,' said he, * but they have changed my States General at nurse, We make no npology for the length of these quotations; they are both more entertaining and more instructive than any thing we could add of our own. They throw a great and hitherto unknown light over the causes which precipitated the terrible disaster of the French revolution. Not the abuses of power, not the despotism of the government, not the real grievances of the people, produced that catas- trophe; for they had existed for centuries without occasioning any disturbance, and might have been gradually removed without producing any convulsion. It was the passion for innovation which produced this effect; the chimerical notion of suddenly reform- ing all the grievances of the state; the lamentable • error that those who set the torrent in motion can at pleasure arrest its progress, that produced all the . calamities. The nobles, the great judicial bodies, the | « » ite and sit down^ contented clergy, the monarch himself, were the real authors of the revolution, by the fervour with which they embraced the doctrines of innovation, the support they gave to insurrection in other states, and the intemperance of the language which they so long addressed to the people. The first victims of the revolution were the very persons whose imprudent passions had created it. In Lafayette's words, 44 those whose foolish conduct had raised a confla- gration, were the loudest and the most vehement in their cries of fire." Great changes in the political slate of France were unavoidable from the changes of ideas and manners; but it was not necessary that they should have been produced by a revolution. The current was in motion, and could not be arrested ; but it was the precipitance and folly of the higher ranks which urged it into a cataract. Changes as great as those produced by the French revolution are incessuutly going: forward in a progressive state of society.* The transition from the time of William the Conqueror to that of Henry V. and from that of Hei ry V. to that of James I. was as great as from tlie era of 1780 to that of 1800. The gradual and unseen changes of time steal unperceived upon society, and are made palpable only by the benefits they produce, and the altered state they gradually induce. Those urged ou by human folly tear ge- nerations to pieces in their course, exterminate whole classes of the people by their effects, and leave deep and melancholy furrows, which the healing powers of nature require centuries to obliterate. soliiuiidi. ncm. fac. iunt, paeem appellant.'''' A word as to the olher object of these Unions to force reform upon the peers. No doubt this is one of the designs;— no doubt the Jacobin Club of London, in particular, is looked upon by the friends of ministers as an engine to beat down opposition in the next parliamentary campaign. The defeat of the late bill had not produced the convulsion so long threatened ; the opponents of reform were not annihilated by popular vengeance. Explosions of mob violence did occur as was to be expected but they were. not general, nor simultaneous; the tumults were quelled as soon as resolutely opposed and they were of a description so odious that tl alarm they excited had the character, not of de pondeney, but of indignation. The managers of Reform had, therefore, some surer and safer agent to look for than the mere blind and desultory violence of the populace for the accomplishment of their projects. They wanted a convenient littl pocket rebellion, formidable enough to silence their enemies, and keep the King, as they express it firm; but one, at the same time, capable of being folded up and put away if it grew unpleasant aud dangerous to themselves; and they have flattered themselves that such an instrument might be found National Union at the Crown and Anchor, under Sir Francis Burdett. The monotonous, dreary tocsin of the Times was, therefore, sounded day after day ; Marat plied the press, Lafayette took the chair, and behold the new institution perfected, in the most approved French fashion of 1789. " Feelers" were indeed put out for a con- federacy iu arms, but this wao premature, and the motion is, for the present, withdrawn. Indeed it would somewhat have hastened the denouement. of the reform drama ; for a few Political Unions, with a band of Feder6s at the service of each, would very speedily bring us to our'Making: of the B « ( « tile," our " 10th of August," and our " 2d aud 3d of September," unless those horrors were averted by the calamitous remedy of civil war. Thus,. then, the matter stands fur the present:— At the opening of parliament the orators of the treason- tavern" will be ready to execute whatever service the exigency of the day or night may require, for the purpose of controlling the assembled estates of the realm : their harangues, their mo- tions, their votes will keep up,, in such part of the public as may be weak enough to yield them credit, an unceasing delusion and excitement: and when- ever the fit time arrives, they will cheerfully pro- cure for ministers the excuse of terror or com- pulsion, for advising any wild and arbitrary act of power, whether it be the creation of a hundred peers, the expulsion of tiie bishops from parlia- ment, or the issuing of election writs according to he Royal discretion. But ministers are greatly deceived if they fancy that when their game should have been played and won, the Unions would dis- The jacobins of London have already their Mountain, and that Mountain has even now shown itself too strong for the rest of society. The French jacobins were beaten by the more fierce and uncompromising desperadoes of the Cordelier Club ; and in like manner the Crown and Anchor would succumb to the Rotunda. It is with that party and their kindred barbarians of the provinces that we should have to contend for the wretched remnant of the constitution, when the present ministerial reform- ers had achieved their work of ruin, and been pushed off the stage. Such are the Political Unions ; such are the enemies who are labouring, according to the mea- sure of their respective capacities and consciences, for the overthrow of every institution which a wise and virtuous Englishman holds most precious. One question yet remains. Friends of the constitution, what are you doing for its rescue ? " Constantinople, October 10.—" On the 5th inst. a natural phenomenon, such as few persons remember, and the effects of which have been most destructive, filled with terror the inhabitants of this Country, who are at the same time suffering under all kinds of evils After an uncommonly sultry night, threatening clouds rose about six in the morning, in the horizon, to the south west, and a noise between thunder and tempest, and yet not to be compared with either, increased every moment, and the inhabitants of tiie capital, roused from their sleep, awaited with anxious expect- ation the issue of the threatening phenomenon. Their uncertainty was not of long duration ; lumps of ice as large as a man's foot falling, first singly, and then like a thick shower of stones, which destroyed everything they came in contact with. The oldest persons do not remember ever to have seen such hailstones. Some were picked up half an hour afterwards which weighed above a pound. This dreadful storm passed over Constantinople, and along the Bosphorus, over Therapin, Bujukden, and Belgrade; and the fairest, nay, the only hope of this beautiful and fertile tract, the vintage just commenced, was destroyed in a day. Animals of all kinds, and even some persons, are said to have been killed, an innumerable number are wounded, and the damage done to the houses is in- calculable. Besides that scarcely a window has escaped in all the country, the force of the falling masses of ice was so great, that they broke to atoms all the tiles on the roofs, and shattered, like musket balls, planks half an inch thick. Since that day the rain has not ceased to jrour down in torrents, and from the slight way in which the houses are built, almost wholly consisting of windows, and with flat roofs that have nothing to keep off* wet besides tiles, innumerable families are not much more comfortable than a bivouac If, in addition to this, we consider that, in consequence of the burning of Pera and the great fires in Constan- tinople itself, many have no shelter whatever, and recollect, besides, the plague which continues to spread, and the cases of cholera which still occur, the whole together forms a most gloomy picture. The delay which has taken place in rebuilding the houses burnt down, is not yet remedied, because the directions have not yet been published, which are to obviate the defects of the mode of building hitherto practised, and to afford greater security against fire; and however injurious this delay may be to many an unsheltered family, it may be easily accounted for, without im- puting blame to the government, which has to con- tend with innumerable obstacles in the introduction t, f any, even the most useful innovation. The houses taken from the Catholic Armenians at the time of the persecution, most of which are in ruins, have been restored to them." Metropolitan Union, 1833.

That taxation has increased, is increasing, and ought to be diminished.

That the aforesaid George he declared, for his said misdemeanor, incapable of hereafter servin'g his Ma- jesty in any capacity whatsoever. That Harry, vulgarly called Lord Brougham, be, on account of his eminent services in our sacred cause, proclaimed Lord President of the National Union ; and that he is entitled to our special thanks for having asserted the undoubted prerogative of the people of England to ride through the Horse Guards on any day, and at any hour, when it may seem good to them so to do. That so long as any member of the Union be compelled to walk on foot, it shall not be lawful for the Sovereign of England to ride in any but a car- riage and pair.

That the House of Lords, being an unnatural ex- crescence, which sets bounds to the sovereignty of the people, and places the Crown beyond its reach, do cease and determine from this day ; and that the members thereof be allowed to transport themselves to New South Wales or the Swan River. That Lewis Philip, having usurped the rights of Henry the Fifth, in obedience to the will of the thirty- two millions of French sovereigns, has entitled himself to one moiety of our eternal thanks ; the other moiety being reserved for any prince in England, who may render his country a like service.

Mr. Talbot moved to make a rule absolute to allow the defendant, now a prisoner in Shrewsbury gaol on a charge of manslaughter, to be bailed before a Magistrate in the country until the Assizes. The circumstances of the case, as detailed iu the depositions before the Coroner, were these:— The prisoner and the deceased were in the employ of a Mr. Brian, a farmer of Little Hall. On the 1st of August they were employed in taking hay into a loft, the prisoner being in the cart pitching the hay into a pitching hole, where the deceased received it. Having filled that part of the loft, the prisoner requested tbe deceased to come down the ladder to go to another pitching place; not coming down so quick as the prisoner wished, he was angry at the deceased, and although no person saw anything else pass between them, tbe deceased was in a minute or two heard to exclaim, " Oh, Lord, I am killed !" and he was seen to fall down with the prisoner's pitchfork sticking in his side. The fork was pulled out, but the deceased expired in a few minutes. The Coroner's Jury had found a verdict of man- slaughter against the prisoner, who was committed to Shrewsbury gaol fo await his trial. Tlie Learned Counsel stated that from affidavits which he had ( and which he referred to) there could be no doubt that fhe unfortunate occurrence was purely acci- dental. His Lordship directed that the Prisoner beheld to bail before a County Magistrate, himself iu £ 80, and four sureties ill £ 20 each. Mr. Sadler's proposed Measure in Behalf of the Labouring Poor. REPUBLICAN CORRESPONDENCE. The Commissioners appointed to superintend the nrrangements consequent on the building of new Churches and Chapels, in their last report, state, that since the commencement of fheir labours 165 churches and chapels have been completed, whereby provision has been made for the accommodation of 231,367 persons, including 128,082 free seats, to be appropratcd to the use ofthe poor. In addition to these, twenty- seven churchcs and chapels are now building; plans for sixteen others have been approved of; grants in aid of building places of worship have been proposed to be given to fourteen places; facilities have been afforded to six parishes for the attainment of additional burying grounds, and to eight parishes for sites whereon to build new churches and chapels. We present to our readers the copy of a curious document— a letter written by a member of the British House of Commons to General Lamarque, member of Ihe French Chamber of Deputies. There is an old saying, which is not the less true for being trite, " I can defend myself from my enemies, but Heaven preserve me from my friends-" Lord Grey will perceive from this letter the sort of friendship which his present supporters feel for him ; and England will perceive in whose hands it is proposed to place her honour and her destinies. The publi- cation of this letter will do much good, aud open the eyes of many. Extract of a Letter addressed to General Lamarque, by one of the leading Members of the English House of Commons, dated October 29,1831. " If you were here you would scarcely be able to understand the change which has taken place in the opinions and conduct of the people. The English people are all for reform, and when the Bill shall iiave passed, the House of Commons will be re- formed in such a manner as to give lo the people lhat influence which of right belongs to them. This reform will extend to all branches of the adminis- tration. " The conduct of the bishops in voting in the House of Lords against the bill has prepared the way, according to my opinion, lor a very extensive Mr. Sadler traces the sufferings which are experi- enced by the labouring poor, in many of the agri- cultural districts, to the spirit of monopoly, which, whether in agriculture or commerce, has produced many of the most serious evils uiider which the industrious classes labour. He alludes, in particular, to the destruction of small farms; the improper man- ner in which tbe inclosure acts have been almost everywhere carried into effect; the consequent demo- lition of the Cottages of the labouring poor to so great an extent, in many parts, as to lead to the most distressing and demoralizing consequences; the w ant, generally speaking, of good and sufficient gardens, and almost always of the means of keeping a cow ; the extortionate rents which are paid for these conve- niences, when they happen to be obtained, comparer! with those paid for the same quantity of land by the great farmers; and, lastly, to tbe want of labour in certain seasons of the year, or to Ihe inadequate ivages paid to those employed, reducing the labour- ing poor, even in the prime of their lives, in many enlire districts, to the necessity of becoming paupers for fheir daily subsistence. Mr. S. proposes by liis bill to remedy these evils, which press so heavily on this numerous class, by appointing an additional parochial officer, in every agricultural district, as a protector of the poor, who, in conjunction with the parochial officers for Ihe time being, shall have power, under certain limitations, first, to rebuild a sufficient number of cottages, and at moderate rents, so as to enable the poor to live in comfort and decency. Second, to lay out gardens of a sufficient size, and upon moderate terms, to the poor labourers who are now destitute of them. Third, to restore to the most industrious tbe means of keeping their cows on the terms paid by the large farmers. Fourth, to applot a piece of land in every agricultural village, in which to employ, in spade industry, the unemployed, and at sufficient wages, so as to prevent the shameful fraud and cruelty, which now too often prevail, in paying the labourer what is insufficient for his maintenance, and principally out of the poor's rate. Fifth, to insti- tute annual preqiiums to the most meritorious and deserving of the poor, and their children, for distill guishing themselves in many particulars pointed out, anil thereby encouraging and rewarding good con- duct.— M r. Sadler contends that all these objects may be accomplished without the ultimate sacrifice of a farthing on tbe part of the wealthier classes; and that, on the contrary, even the latter would be materially benefitted by a great reduction of the poor rates, which has invariably followed wherever a similar method has been partially adopted ; while the comfort and benefit it would confer upon the industrious poor would be incalculable. He asserts, however, that these advantages will never bp extended to the poor without legislative interference ; and that such interference cannot be said to be inconsistent, with the rights of private property, as at present interpreted, as all the public improvements, whether, for roads, railways, canals, in country parts, or for widening of streets, or other purposes of utility or ornament, in towns, interfere, to a far greater extent, and for purposes infinitely inferior in importance, wilh the rights of private individuals; as the land required for the poor, and at its just value in any parish, would be trifling compared with the quantity often demanded for accomplishing many of the above objects, in which the rich are mainly interested. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.— We have this week the painful duty of recording one of the most distress- ing accidents of a local nature that ever appeared in the columns of our paper. About three o'clock in the morning of Saturday last, an explosion of hydro- gen took place in Croft Pit, to which twenty- two human beings, men and boys, have fallen victims. The cause of this heavy calamity must ever remain unknown, as no one has been permitted to survive'to disclose the falal tale. It appears, however, from the evidence given at the Coroner's inquest, that no blame — not even of the slightest nature— attaches to any of the viewers or deputy- overlookers of the pits. — Two of the overseers were in another part of the pit at the time the accidcnt Occurred, and one of them had just visited and examined tbe working where the explosion took place, and found all perfectly safe. The discharge, therefore, must have been sudden ns well as considerable; but as the situation was a very confined one— all the men being killed within the space of two hundred yards— the effect was of course proportionally powerful. From the whole of the evidence, indeed, it is sufficiently plain that the accident was one of those inscrutable decrees of Providence which no human prudence could either guard against or avert.— Cumberland Pacquet. Paris is, generally speaking, filthy to a degree. The: houses of Paris are, on an average, six stories high ; one common ami almost invariably dirty staircase leading to tbe first floor, occupied by tbe banker or tbe countess, and to the sixth, in which are huddled the diegs of the population ; not a drop of water to be hail in one of the many rooms of these houses that is not brought thither, and at considerable expense, by water- carriers ; the supply is, in the best apartments, therefore, sometimes insufficient; in the others, the poverty or the economical habits of the occupants renders water an exceedingly scarce article. There being no back courts or yards to the houses, the refuse of the kitchens and the sweepings of the floors ( when they are swept) are usually deposited in front of the houses in the street; the houses admit not, from tlieir construction, of thurongh ventilation; the floors and stairs are never washed, but are occa- sionally rubbed and waxed,— I mean those of respectable houses. The number of inhabitants of a Parisian bouse ( I speak not of the exceptions, the private houses of a comparatively small number of individuals) varies from 50 to 1,200! Perhaps a fair average would he 100 to 120. The food of the Parisians of every, class. consists of soup, and beef boiled to tbe consistence of oakum. To these the rich add made dishes of alt sorts, cooked, not as is the food of the Londoners, in metal or well- tinned utensils, but in brass and copper saucepans, which are not always kept clean and bright. The poor uni- formly consume a vast quantity of vegetable trash of one sort or other. The streets are narrow ; there are no subways, and, in consequence, it requires that a foreigner should reside in Paris three months at least ere he can breathe without a certain sensation of disgust, ere he becomes reconciled to or can endure the overcharged atmosphere. Every man who has been in Paris will concede that there is nothing over- charged in this parallel, and that I have refrained even from alluding to other and stronger characteris- tics which place Paris so far below comparison with London as a wholesome or a tolerable place of resi- dence, even in a healthy season. What will it be when— as is, I fear, inevitable— the cholera morbus shall, have arrived ? No more, however, on this point.— Private Correspondence of the Morning Herald. THE DAMNABLE DOCTRINE.— In tbe Court of Chancery, oil Tuesday, after the Duke of Leinster and Earl of Wicklow were sworn in as Lords Lieu- tenants of the counties of Kildare and Wicklow, the Lord Chancellor directed the Attorney- General to have a ease submitted to the law officers of the crown, for the purpose of ascertaining if the act requiring the declaration against " the idolatrous and damnable doctrine of popery," be in force at present in Ireland. The reporters say, that the anxiety of the Lord Chancellor was occasioned by a faltering of the voice of the noble duke, when be came to pronounce the strong aud marked language of the declaration against a religion which he is suspected to cherish a strong regard for. At tbe rate we travel now, it may be fairly reckoned on, that a man may, within a few years, be Lord Chan- cellor of Protestant England, or of Catholic Ireland, without being attached to any religion, save that of expediency— Dublin Evening Packet. On Tuesday night, a lodging- house, in Cow Cross, Smithfield, was accidentally burnt down; and we regret to say, that such was the intensity of the fire, and the quickness with which it raged, that a man named Hollyock, with his wife and two children, and two young men, named Young and Bowes, all of whom lodged in the house, perished in the flames, The pillage of Bristol may probably serve to con- vince tbe people of Great Britain, that they are about to experience the full sweep of those pernicious prin- ciples of robbery, insurrection, and rebellion, which a large portion of them have been so long advocating, and attempting to propagate in foreign countries, and in distant parts of their own dominions. Whether such an event will open their eyes or not, a short time must determine ; but scarcely any nation under heaven was ever to stultified as Great Britain at pre- sent is, throughout whose bounds error and falsehood only are triumphant. In her metropolis, we find her people engaged in speaking a tongue which they do not themselves understand, and interpreting it in blasphemy against the Most High ;— we find her best public instructor engaged in a systematic course of falsehood' and revolutionary doctrines, inculcating discontent and rebellion in every corner of the world, and in every quarter of our empire ;— we find our government « Burking" our venerable constitution, monarchy, and laws;— murdering currency, ships, colonies, aud commerce;— we find their subjects trampling upon the altar and undermining the throne; —" Burkiug" their felllow- subjecls with impunity, and living by the sale of their murdered bodies ; and thus engaged, we find all these parties wondering that a pestilence should appear upon our shores.— Glas- gow ( ourier. LATE RIOTS IN BRISTOL.— Government having been requested to institute an enquiry into the con- duct of the Magistracy of Bristol, and no answer having been returned to gratify the citizens, now become impatient in consequence of the delay, the Mayor, for his own justification, has published a series of documents, addressed to Lord Melbourne, from which we learn that Sir Charles Wetherell went down to Bristol to hold tire gaol- delivery with the full sanction of the Government; and we find also, in these documents, that all the misfortune of the atrocities which have disgraced Bristol, and left a stain upon the country, are attributed to the mis- conduct of Col. Brereton, who had the command of the troops in the city, and who is alleged to have prevented them acting against the rioters, though requested by the Magistrates to order them to act. Nothing is, however, said, as to the parties hy whom the rioters were instigated in the first instance ; and there are some other, facts already known to the public to which no allusion is made by the Mayor, but which, upon inquiry being instituted, may pro- bably prove important in elucidating these trans- actions. We do not see that anything is said to Lord Melbourne of the application to the Political Union for assistance ; nor does the Mayor remind his l. ordship of fhe zeal which he formerly showed for peaceable submission to authority, by taking the Chair in Bristol at a public meeting, where a deputa- tion was agreed upon to go to Paris and congratulate the heroes of the " three days of July," on having covered themselves with glory. We certainly have our suspicions of a Magistrate who could indulge, at no disfant period, in a display of this kind ; and w e can just conceive the possibility of such a public officer wishing to countenance a strong exhibition of popular feeling, without any expectation that it would proceed to wholesale burning, robbery, viola- tion, and murder. But even the most ardent ad- mirers of popular display may find the zeal of Reforming multitudes somewhat too hot for them The Mayor of Bristol is, doubtless, a wiser, as well as a sadder mail, than he was three weeks ago. NATIONAL POLITICAL UNION.— A correspondent of The Standard says—" Although I doubt not that you are well acquainted with the machinery by which the New Revolution Society of the Crown and Anchor is working, 1 shall trouble you with this ( entre nous J, supposing it possible that the modicum of information 1 can afford may in its place be turned to some account. I can take upon myself to state that upon the council of that mischievous body are several barristers, known only for entertaining, and, upon all occasions, suitable and unsuitable, express- ing, sentiments of the bitterest hostility to the British constitution, as at. present existing. 1 know also that these men are at present most actively engaged in the business, whatever it may be, of the " Union;" and 1 feel confident that, with the degree of know- ledge, capacity, and energy, which they possess above the great majority of the people with whom they have associated themselves, they are, or soon will become, the " prime movers" of the machine. With these men, America is the great exemplar :— the only ob- jection to the state of tilings there being ( as 1 have heard one of these gentlemen say in the London Debating Society at the Freemason's Tavern), that you are " bored too much wilh religion." The notion of keeping up hereditary distinctions is treated of course with scorn by them, and as for the clergy, the hierarchy in particular, it is impossible for language to go beyond the expressions of hatred which 1 have heard repeatedly applied to that order. In short, they are jacobins, and in proportion as they, and such as they, are enabled to exercise an influence upon so- ciety, will evil accumulate upon us. 51 y principal hope is, that tbe real objects of Hie promoters and leaders of this " Union" will in the first instance be- come so apparent, that no rational person who is not prepared to promote the re- establishment of a demo- cratic republic in England, ran fail to see that it ishii duty and his interest to neglect no means within his power of checking tbe progress of a moral pestilence, infinitely more dreadful, because more permanent in ils effects, than that physical plague with which we are threatened.— Thank God ! Burdettwil. il his " no dis- tinction of classes," and even Thelwall, were beaten in the race at the very first meeting of the association.

M. T. SADLER, ESQ. M. P— This distinguished gentleman received an address from the committee of operatives, of Huddersfield, on Saturday last, thank- ing him for his humane exertions in parliament, regarding tbe Factory Bill— for his noble struggle for the Poor of Ireland— and for tbe labourers of England.— On these heart- cheering, soul- elevating subjects, we would say to Mr. Sadler, humbly and reverently— God speed. Never mind, sir, the attacks of the wicked and malignant, which, as sure as dark- ness succeeds the day, will be levelled against you. The money- getters, and the money- changers, will he in arms against you, but these " have been turned out of the temple" before, by the greatest friend of the friendless the world has yet beheld.— And to the operatives of Huddersfield, we would say, you have done yourselves great credit; continue to distinguish your real from your pretended friends, and days of relief and enjoyment, are not so far distant assume of the oppressed ones may imagine.— Leeds Patriot. ST Wyndham Carmichael Anslruther, by fhe un- expected death of his nephew, succeeds, it is said, to an unencumbered estate of £ 14,000 per annum, ex- clusive of personal property to the amount of £ 120,000, which had been accumulating since the birth ofthe late ill- fated joung baronet, in 1818. Sir Wyndham like- wise succeeds to fhe office of hereditary carver to the King in Scotland. Sir Wyndham is married to a daughter of Lieut- General Wetherell, Comptroller of the Household of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and by his late accession of fortune he probably becomes the richest baronet in Scotlantl. MR. HULTON.— We are sorry to hear that this public spirited gentleman is no longer a magistrate of this county. The grounds of his retirement, we understand, were the reflections which Lord Althorp is reported to have made a few weeks ago, in the House of Commons, upon the conduct of the magis- trates of this district, on the memorable 16th of Augusf, 1819. Mr. Hultou, as our readers are doubtless aware, took an active part in quelling the riots of that period, and shared wilh the other ma- gistrates all the responsibility attached to the arduous duties they had to perform. Their conduct on that occasion was rewarded with the approbation of tlieir fellow- countrymen, and the marked ap- proval of their sovereign. The legality of it was afterwards established by the verdict of a jury. Of these facts Lord Althorp could not have been ignorant; and yet in the face of them he is re- ported to have stigmatized the conduct of the ma- gistrates as " extraordinary and revolting!" The situation which his lordship occupies as a minister of Ihe crown, ought to have taught liini caution when speaking on such a subject, even had there been some foundation for the charge ; but nothing can excuse the language which, besides being un- becoming tlie office of the speaker, and uncalled for by the occasion, is entirely destitute of truth. We should have been glad if Mr. Hulton had treated the insulting reflection with the contempt it merits; but that gentleman is the best judge of what is due to feelings unnecessarily wounded. It only remains for us to bear testimony to tbe dis- satisfaction and disgust which the language of Lord Althorp has produced, and to the sincere regret with which the announcement of Mr. Hul- ton's resignation has been received— Manchester Courier. The St. Petersburgh Gazette sums up the amount of trophies obtained at Warsaw, at 132 cannon taken in the battle, or in the city and Praga; 5000 service- able muskets, besides a great number more or les* damaged; 8000 side arms of various kinds; 2,000,000 cartridges; and a great quantity of artillery ammuni- tion. Tliey found in the city an arsenal, a foundry, a powder- mill, a saltpetre factory, and a hospital, containing 11,000 men sick and wounded. In' the battle 3000 Poles were made prisoners, including GO superior officers ; a still larger number must have fallen during the assault, by the destructive fire of the Russian artillery, or the burning of different houses. In the two days the Russian artillery used 29,000 cartridges, and 3,300 shells. Besides the pri- soners, 4,000 Polish soldiers surrendered, and nearly 1,200 officers of all ranks have returned to their alle- giance. The Russian loss was considerable : Generals Van Briegen and JasimowHch, 9 colonels, and several staff officers of artillery, were killed. The total loss in killed, amounted to 3,000, including 63 officers^ 7 500, including 445 officers, were wounded. The hole number put hors de combat was 10,500, in- cluding 508 officers. A great number of tbe wounded lave recovered.— A proclamation by the Emperor talk of having recourse to mild measures. Reports from Poland, however, are not so favourable, and emigration is going on there to a great extent. THE LIFE OF AN M. P.— From the New Monthly Magatine.— The life of the regular House Of Com- mons' man is not a bed of roses. It is scarcely possible at the first sight, to conceive any existence more wearisome. At half- past three he goes down to prayers; be takes Ilia seat among cold desolate benches; petitions come on ; long unseasonable speeches ensue; then, perhaps, the question i » hunted down into the corner of a detail, where it is worried, mouthed, mumbled for three or four hours, and finally escapes at last, to be hunted again at the next convenient opportunity. At seven, perhaps, our assiduous senator escapes up stairs to a plate of cold meat and a glass of brandy and water: and in half an hour afterwards, he is fairly re seated till two, nay three, o'clock in the morning. And perhaps this laborious gentleman never speaks himself; has no particular interest in the subjects discussed; has no ambition to gratify; no purpose to answer. Perhaps for him all the pleasures and luxuries of life await; cheerful society, music, books, wine, love, all that riches can purchase and youth enjoy. What induces the choice he has preferred? Heaven only knows! And yet the more wearisome a pursuit at the be- ginning, the more seductive it often becomes at the end. Business grows upon men more than pleasure; only, indeed, to men who do not enter into it them- selves, the daily work of the House of Commons is scarcely business:—" totius negotii caput ac fontem ignorant." Extract of a letter from Birmingham, Nov. 5,1831! —" Thank God, we have as yet had no rising here. It is plain by communications from Manchester and other parts of the north, and from the intended meet- ing in the Metropolis, at the White Conduit House, on Monday next, that simultaneous operations are con- certed by the Reformers and the Unions. The presi- dent of our Union you know is a Mr. Attwood, a banker of this town, and who for the last six years has been agitating the Currency Question, and the abso- lute necessity of enlarging the circulating medium of the country. On this subject I perfectly coincide with him; but disappointed in his appeals to the different Administrations which have existed since Peel's Bill passed, to which he solely and justly attributed the distress of the country, till he undertook to agitate the Reform Question, and made that a stalking- horse for the attainment of his object; it was in this evil hour that he devised the formation of our Political Union, ever since which period the peace of this town has been disturbed, aud fhe interest- of master and workman totally dissevered and disorganized ; so that at this crisis I can compare tbe perilous state of the dense population and the peaceable inhabitants of this town to that danger which may accrue, when a dozen people are sitting on a barrel of gunpowder, with sparks igniting around it. I have reason to know, however, that Mr. A. is himself at last alarmed at the approaching explosion, and would gladly, if he could, retrace his steps, but retreating would to him be as bad as to proceed, so completely is he now become the tool and the suppliant of his boasted Council. He has more than thrice been outvoted, and has on other occasions only got rid of bis objections to its measures by proposing an adjournment, or withdrawing bin proposals. To give you an instance of the system of terror and espionage adopted by this Council:— A master manufacturer a few days ago saw a decently dressed mechanic enter his yard, and enquire fro una of his workmen— the master asked his errand— it was to receive from his workman tbe amount of the col- lection he had made from the members of that dis- trict of the Lhiion. The master refused him admis- sion, his workman being busily engaged, and referred the stranger to the residence of the workman. The next morning the master received a note from an ac- quaintance, a member of the Council of the Union, to Sly he bad something of serious import to commu- nicate. He called on liis acquaintance, who told him, that his conduct to the collector had been reportad to the Council, which had passed a rote of censure upon him, but that it was deferred being entered upon their books till lie as his friend had sought an explanation, and enquired into the truth. How long this dreadful and alarming state of tilings is to last 1 cannot fore- see."
