Lock— That it is the duty of our Representatives in the House of Commons to defend with zeal, and protect with devotion, the rights and liberties, both< nvil and re- ligious, of the United Kingdom, and to give their steady support to all that is intrinsically valuable in their Constitution, by the removal of such defects as may be proved on due deliberation to exist.

Written during his Confinement in the Debtors' Prisons. In 3 vols, post 8vo. " After seeing them properly accommodated for the night, I next attended the sheriff's officers to the prison. * * * I expected, upon my entrance, to find nothing but lamentation and various sounds of misery, but it was very different. * * * I found the prisoners very merry, and each prepared with some good trick to play upon the Doctor. * * * In my opinion, the heart that is buried in a dungeon is as precious as that seated upon a throne. * * * And it were highly to be wished that legislative power would thus direct the law rather to reforma- tion than severity."— Vicar of Wakefield. The above Worlc wilL be published on the 20th of December, and will consist of a Series of Moral Stories, strongly pourtraying the various scenes of life un- folded to the experience of a Clergyman who has been himself confined in the debtors' prisons. Penned partly with a political, and always having a moral pur- pose, these Tales are only so far fictions as delicacy in naming individuals de- mands. Every circumstance in the volumes can be vouched for as a fact, and there will be found no affectation in concealing the characters of persons well- known to the public. For instance, it is probable that the only true account of the escape of Earl Dundonnel, when Lord Cochrane, from prison— the extraordi- nary life of Johnson, the smuggler, and other notices of equally celebrated persons — to say nothing of usurers, sheriffs' officers, attorneys, money- lenders, and their tribe— will he found in these volumes. Various in their character, they will be found to embrace events tragical or ludicrous— grave or gay— to refer to the dis- tressed tradesman, the fallen roue, the practised swindler, the poor author, the shipwrecked dramatist— in short, every class and character of society to be found in these spheres of adversity, and consequently in every- day life. The reading sph 7 , — j will be adapted for families, and the avowed purpose of the book is to aid in the • y? THE RESOURCES AND STATISTICS OF NATIONS. laptf Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt.

JACOB FAITHFUL, BY THE AUTHOR OF " PETER SIMPLE."— What an exceedingly amusing book Captain Marryat has drawn out of the river Thames ! and how admirably he has succeeded in making, barges and wherries— things that we'look upon daily without interest, fall of life and amusement. His sketches in prose are something like Crabbe's sketches in poetry, rough, racy and natural. Jacob's gradations of old Tom young Tom and Tommy, are inimitable. His shooting Putney bridge, his preaching on Wimbledon- common, and his juvenile flirtations with Mary, are graphic and admirable pictures— scenes that Wilkie might have painted.— New Monthly Mag. THE WONDERS OF INDIA.— The new volume of the Oriental Annual, by Daniell, the Royal Academician, is even more splendid than its predecessor. The extraordinary scenes of India which he here exhibits shew that his spirit has gone forth amongst them and caught the very tone of their sublimity. The Hindoo temples, the lairs of the wild elephants, the solitary and strange Mausoleums that rear their desolate cupolas in the deserts, the fantastic Mosques, the gaudy creatures of the air, and the infinite varieties of animallife that traverse these almost illimitable solitudes, making the loneliness the more solemn by their presence, are accustomed sights to our artist. His splendid Present Book is dedicated to their Royal Highnesses 9 the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, and at this season of " the year cannot fail to have an immense sale. CHEAP NEW LIBRARY OF FICTION.— The public will, no doubt, observe with pleasure the announcement for the 1st of January, of a. new, revised, handsomely illustrated, and more select Collection of " Coll/ urn's Modern Novelists," to be published in Monthly Volumes, uniform in size and price with the Waverley Novels. The embellish- ments, from designs by eminent artists, will be executed_ under the superintendence of the Messrs. Finden ; and they will also include the Authors' Portraits and Fac- similes. Each Novel will be completed, " whenever possible, in a single volume, with corrections and occa- sional Notes by the several authors, expressly made for this edition. A volume will he regularly published with the Magazines on the 1st of each month, at the price of 5s. neatly bound and lettered. Mr. Biilwer's celebrated novel of " Pelham, or the Adventures of a Gen- tleman," which has been long out of print, and much inquired for, • will commence this new and desirable undertaking. Miss LANOON'S NEW ROMANCE, " Francesca Carrara" is the " most remarkable work of its class that has for a considerable time issued from the press. The well- known initials on the title- page at once betray to whom we owe it, but their evidence was not requi- site to mark it as the production of a most accomplished female. It may he considered as an historical novel, and with all the responsibi- lity attached to that title its subject matter is such as comes most fit- tingly beneath the dominion of the gentler pen. It treats of times, characters, and events, over which not only had the fair sex especial co'ntroul, but of which also that sex has left us in memoirs, the most lively and correct pictures— namely, those of the reign of Louis XIV. ( its commencement), when statesmen and stateswomen were - equally numerous, and the latter most influential ; when govern- ment consisted of a labyrinth of intrigues, in which little wisdom and much tact, love and gallantry, gaiety and gravity, priestcrgft and worldly wit, were all most strangely intermingled. We doubt not that Miss Landon's romance will be a great favourite.— Morning Herald. SOCIETY OF BRITISH MUSICIANS.— The third Concert took place at the Ilanover- square Rooms on Monday last. The overture by Mr. H. Griesbach, is a fine spirited composition : the combined parts of the harmony are rich, and the whole in good keeping; it gaVe gene- ral pleasure, and was loudly applauded. The scena, " Friend of the mftriner, hail'." composed by Mr. Westrop, was sung with consider- able animation by Mr. Wilson ; it is clever, but too full in the in- strumentation. Mr. Macfarren's eavatina is a very pleasing mar- ccau, and was tastefully sung by Miss Turpin. " Thy heart is sear'd," a duet by Mr. H. Griesbach, is of a chaste style; it is a pity Miss Bruce will force her voice, which is naturally of a good quality ; it did not blend well with Mr. Wilson's. One of John Field's concertos was played by Miss C. Calkin. This composition abounds with graceful pianoforte passages, which the young lady executed in a neat and tasteful manner. Mr. Parry's song, " Yes, th^ se are the meadows," is ill the true English style, and was favoured with an encore from its elegant execution by Mr. Parry, iun., aided by the obligato accompaniment of Mr. Lucas on the violoncello. The sweet trio from the Mountain Sylph, " This magic- wove scarf," was effectively sung, and called forth an encore. The first act ended with an overture, entitled " Merry Wives of Windsor," composed by Mr. S. Bennett. There are some clever and fanciful parts in it.; but we did not hear anything particularly merry in it. The second act commenced with a sinfonia by Mr. Lucas; it is a work of great merit, and we should have admired the slow movement much more had it not contained so many bursts of forte; they disturb the " rich stream of harmony." Mr. Walmis- ley's glee, " I wish to time my quivering lyre," is a charming com- position ; it was effectively sung, and rapturously applauded. We wish to hear more glees at these concerts. The trumpet concerto, finely played by Harper, is an admirable composition, and does Mr. FUNERAL OF THE LATE DUKE OF GLOUCESTER. Soon after seven o'clock the people in the neighbourhood of Bag- shot began to as. semble, and in a short time afterwards there was a large muster of the carriages of the neighbouring nobility and gentry, amounting to 45. The children of a charity- school, of which his Royal Highness was a patron, also attended. At a quarter to nine the hearse, with the usual number of mourning coaches, proceeded towards Windsor, according to the following programme:— A mourning coach drawn by four horses, in which were four Pages of his late Royal Highness. The carriage of his late Royal Highness drawn bysix horses, in which were the Coronet and the Field- Marshal's Baton of his late Royal Highness, attended by the Comptroller and Treasurer of his late Royal Highness's Household. The Hearse drawn by eight horses, decorated with escutcheons of Ins Royal Highness's Arms. A mourning coach drawn by six horses, in which were the Grooms of the Bed- chamber of his late Royal Highness. A motirning coach drawn by six horses( in which were the Equerries of his late Royal Highness. A mourning coach drawn by six horses, in which were the Chaplains and Medical Attendants of his late Royal Highness. At the entrance of the great gate of Windsor Park the private carriages dropped off. At a little before nine o'clock a detachment of the King's Own Light Dragoons was drawn up for the purpose of escorting the funeral procession towards Windsor. Everything being in readiness, the troops presented arms, and the procession proceeded. At Windsor Great Park the procession was met by the Scotch Fusileer Guards, of which his late Royal Highness was Colonel ( Lieutenant- Colonel Drummond commanding.)— The coffin, which was made of mahogany, studded with silver- gilt nails, lay in state at Cumberland Lodge, in the Great Park, Windsor, until four o'clock, the military attending with reversed arms and muffled drums. It is worthy of remark, that the greater part of those who attended his Royal'Highness's funeral— all his neighbours, and many his tenants — were affected even to tears. But this expression of respect and regret was not confined to those who were sharers in the bounty of the late Duke. The funeral was attended by a large number of farmers, and respectable tradesmen, who appeared anxious to pay this last tribute to the memory of one whom they had so much reason to respect during a long and honourable life. In addition to those in carriages and on horseback, there were many hundreds of the more humble classes, who appeared to regret deeply the loss they had sustained. The procession moved on from Sunning- hill towards Blackett, and, as we have already described, the body was laid in state. The officers wore black scarfs and sword knots. The coffin, on being removed from the hearse, was placed on trestles, in a room fitted up for the occasion in the lodge, and covered with a splendid velvet pall. Over the pall were placed the coronet, marshal's baton, and other decorations of the Royal Duke. The officers attending the lying- in- state were exclusively those belonging to the household of " his late Roval Highness. Every accommodation was afforded for the officers anil soldiers who attended the procession to Cumberlaud- lodge. The town of Windsor, which was hot, we observed, so crowded as on former occasions of a similar kind, still presented every appear- ance of decent respect. Almost every shop had its shutters up, and, save the military movements through the streets, every thing was silent as the grave. ' At eight o'clock in the evening the remains of his late Royal High- ness were removed from Cumberland Lodge to St. George's Chapel, in the following order :— A Detachment of the King's Own Light Dragoons, bearing flam- beaux. The Band of the Scots Fusilier Regiment of Guards, to perform the Dead March in Saul, between the flourish of Drums, Trumpets, & c., tfec. Trumpets and Drums of the Royal Household.

After these followed his late Royal Highness's carriage, the hearse, & c. < fec., as already mentioned. The Life Guards, bearing each a flambeau, headed and flanked the procession from Cumberland Lodge to the Chapel, at Windsor, a distance of four miles. The cortege started at eight o'clock, and nothing could be more imposing than the appearance which it pre- sented as it passed up the Long- walk, and into the town of Windsor. The death- like stillness of the night, interrupted only by the heavy and uniform step of the soldiers, and the occasional stifled noise o'f the drums and other instruments, was calculated to impress one with the deepest and most serious feelings. Upon arrival at. Windsor Castle the cavalry filed off, and the pro- cession was flanked by the Guards from the Guard- room to the Guard of Honour at the entrance of St. George's Chapel, where the drums and trumpets of the Royal Household and footmen and grooms of the Royal Family filed off without the door. At the entrance to St. George's Chapel, the Dean and Preben- daries, attended by the Choir, received the body, the procession ( at- tended as before by the Guards, bearing flambeaux) moved down the \ south aisle, and up the naveintothe choir, in the following order;— Servants oil lis late Royal Highness, and those of the Chief Mourner. Pages of the Presence, Pages of_ the Back Stairs of his late Royal Highness. Physicians. Chaplains. Equerries of his late Royal Highness. The preparations in the chapel were on a much lass extensive scale ( as far as mourning decorations were concerned) than at and of the Royal funerals for some years. The chapel, and its approaches from the yard, were hung with black, and a boaeded passage, by Which the " coffin was to be brought into the choir, was also similarly covered. The body being placed on the trestles, the Chief Mourner, the Duke of Sussex, took his place at the head of the corpse. Amongst the persons in attendance in the choir, we noticed the Duke of Wel- lington, the Duke of Devonshire ( who officiated as Lord Chamber- lain). Lord Hill, Lord RosslVn, Lord Vertllnm, Lord Jersey, Lord Maryborough, Sir James Scarlett, and several other distinguished individuals. The Chief Mourner having taken his seat, the choir, accompanied by the organ, chanted a hymn, after which the Dean read the first part of'the burial service. When that was done the choir chanted another hvmn, after which the Dean came from the communion- table into " TO THE KING S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " May it please your Majesty, " We, the undersigned, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, inhabitants of Market Lavmgton, Wilts, and its vicinity, respectfully approach your Royal Person, to express our regret at the late sudden change of your Majesty's Government. " That your petitioners have for a few past years contemplated with high gratification the form and stability of your Majesty's Go- vernment, while they looked forward with confidence to its continu- ance, on account of your Councils being filled with men of liberal principles, and friendly to reform, economy, and liberty. " While, with pleasing emotions, they fondly anticipated the im- { lortant and beneficial results, which in a few years would have fol— owed the measures of such an Administration, in the entire removal of the serious evils produced by a former Government, they cannot but deeply regret that in an evil hour, by the advice of evil amnsel- fors, your Majesty should have been led to expel from your confidence men " so generally approved by your subjects, and should have tilled their places with those who by their expressions and conduct raise every possible opposition to all reform, although loudly called for both in Church and State. " With regret and alarm they observe that persons now surround your Majesty, who have united in spirit and partially in practice with those who for the last 50 years have abetted war and practiced extravagance, nntil the property of the country is mortgaged to one third of its value, by persons who, in defiance of the laws of God and the voice of the nation, continued to hold a large portion of your Majesty's subjects in slavery; who also while the pownr was possessed did not cease to apply to themselves and families the pro- perty of the country, as the pension list fully demonstrates. " By these and other almost innumerable abuses, your Majesty's present advisers have rendered themselves noxious to the people and unworthy your Royal favour. " We therefore " humbly entreat your Majesty to take to your councils men, who will carry on reform and economy, in all depart— ments of the Church and " State, and so promote and secure the welfare and liberty of your Majesty's subjects, that they may sit down - under the shadow of the Reform Bill with ease and delight." TO JOHN BULL. SIR,— Above you have a copy of an address advertised in the Salis- bury paper, as having been in course of signature at Market Lavington, in the connty of Wilts. The persons from whom this im- pertinent ditty has emanated are principally rabid Dissenters ; and they here afford us a splendid specimen of their loyalty and affection for their Sovereign. We here have an instance of an officious miller, a few bakere, butchers, tailors, glaziers, farmers, and other tradesmen, in an obscure corner of this moon- raking county, not only offering their advice to his MAJESTY, but peremptorily and presumptuously direct- ing his MAJESTY to adopt such measures as they— to wit, the clod- hoppers aforesaid— think most conducive to the public welfare. As the beautiful concoction may perhaps amuse your readers, I have taken the liberty of transmitting it to you, and beg to offer a few remarks on it. I am rather at a loss to discover the meaning of the word " stabi- lity," as here applied; at all events, it does not correspond with the general- acceptation of the word, as the late Cabinet is the most noto- rious in our history for changing, moving, resigning, appointing, patching, squabbling, abusing, and thimble- rigging. The word " stability " is consequently incomprehensible. fn regard to " the advice of evil counsellors," I am desirous of knowing who they could possibly be. The only person with whom his MAJESTY appears to have corresponded on the subject, is Lord MELBOURNE. 1 am not aware that his Lordship is of the plural number; besides, thev cannot allude to the leader of their appa- rently regretted Administration : perhaps, however, these learned politicians would insinuate that his MAJESTY was influenced by supernatural or Satanic advisers ; an idea not too preposterous for the originators of this elegant address. The expression, " who for the last fifty years have abetted war," is a sentence showing how well these gentlemen understand the history of their own times. They talk of a war for the last fifty years, when we have had nineteen years of peace, fifteen of which were under a Tory Administration. In regard to pension lists and family offices, they seem to have forgotten that Lord GREY has a family and Lord PLUNKETT a pension. And now I come to the grand poetical conclusion of " sitting under the shadow of Reform:" perhaps the author means sitting down enjoying the warmth of blazing ricks and barns, smoking his pipe, and guzzling the wines stolen from the cellars of the aristocracy. Your readers can draw their own conclusions. With a hope that this may serve to illustrate the madness and folly of these petty Liberals and' dissenting traitors, who would encroach ion their Sovereign's just prerogative, I beg to subscribe myself, upon t Sir, yours, obliged, A COUNTRY CONSERVATIVE. JEDBURGH.— This ancient and loyal to wn, the capital of Roxburgh- shire, has nobly distinguished itself at the present crisis, by standing forth to support the KING in the constitutional exercise of his Royal prerogative. On Monday evening the Magistrates and Council met, when the following address was read, and having been unanimously- approved of, it was dispatched to the Duke of WELLINGTON to be presented to the SOVEREIGN :— " TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " May it please your Majesty, " We, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the Provost, Magistrates, and Councillors of the Burgh of Jedburgh, beg leave to approach the Throne with sentiments of the most profound respect for your Majesty's person, and of heartfelt thanks and - gratitude for the recent exercise of your Royal Prerogative, which has brought back to your Majesty's Councils his Grace the Duke of V\ ellington, a Nobleman whom, while we recognise him as the first statesman in Europe, we believe to possess the confidence of a great majority of the wealthy and intelligent of this mighty nation. " Impressed with a deep sense of the dangers and injury to the best interests of the empire, caused by a vacillating and uncertain system of Government, we hail with unmingled satisfaction this change in your Majesty's Councils, feeling assured that in the various depart- ments of the State, the Prime Minister of the Crown will receive the> assistance of men of the highest talent, and of the most approved in- tegrity and practical wisdom, and that by their combined efforts the country will again enjoy the blessings of'a firm, vigorous, and united Administration. " We would beg to offer your Majesty our warmest congratula- tions on the peaceful condition of the kingdom, under one of the most momentous changes of modern times— a circumstance which must be as highly gratifying to your Majesty, as it is demonstrative, of the approbation with which your Majesty's firmness and decision are viewed by the nation at large." THE FRIEND OF BEAUTY.— Amid the revelry, song, and the dance of the season, few things are more justly welcomed at the toilet than the successful renovator, beautifier, and sustainer of that most influential of all personal beauties— Ladies' Hair. It is indeed mOre particularly at_ this period of the year that the virtues inherent in ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL evinced such general satisfaction, and fully entitle it to the foregoing distinction. Enhancing the beauty of look and the charms of fashion, its application never fails to pro- duce an enduring curl and gloss that is retained by the fair mem- bers of the bean monde in decorative display alike through the locomotion of the dance and the heat incidental to crowded rooms.

Farley is employed on a grand Pantomime at Covent Garden; and at Drury Lane a splendid Spectacle is getting up, founded on the romantic ' history of King Arthur and his Round Table, and in which Mr. Ducrow and his knights will appear.

PATENT HOT WAFER APPARATUS, FOR WARMING PUBLIC BUILDINGS, CHUTtCHES, HOT- SOUSES,. CONSERVATORIES, AND DWELLING- HOUSES. BURBIDGE and HEALY ( late- Ive and Burbidge), being the original Manufacturers of the above Apparatus after great expedience, can safely recommend it as the best mode of Warming and Ventilation. The advantages possessed by this Apparatus over all other modes of conveying artificial warmth, are— 1st, its economy m fuel; 2dly, its perfect safety from " fire" ( in proof of this it is highly recommended by the assurance offices, several of which have been warmed by B. and H.),- 3dly, its neatness, as the tubes through which the water circulates, being only one inch in diameter, jean be disposed round the apartments without being seen, or placed in coils under elepant pedestals, & c.; 4thly, the construction of the £ prnace is such that the fire can lie continued from eight to twelve hours without attendance, and can be regulated so that the appa- ratus will give out any degree of heat suitable to the season of the year, for any length of time. The Apparatus may be seen in operation at Burbidge and Healy's, 130, Fleet- street. Also, an elegant assortment of PATENT HOT AIR STOVES, on new and approved principle. PROTECTION AGAINST ROBBERY. — To the Nobility1 Gentry, Bankers, Merchants, & c.— BUR RIDGE and HEALY beg to cal public attention to PARSONS'S PATENT LOCKS, which they can now recom- mend with confidence, as possessing not only greater means of security than any other lock yet known, but more than can ever be violated by the most adroit bur- glar. The particulars of the unexampled severity of the tests they underwent, under B. and H.' s most vigilant observation, from 23d July to 21st August, is satisfactory7 to them, and is already before the public; so that they now need only to add, that the security7, which increases immensely with every small addition to the price, is produced by the most simple means, without that useless complication of lumber which is found in locks in general. They are adapted to every purpose for which a lock can be wanted, and are made in snits in all varie- ties, to order, without a single ward or other addition. An extensive assort- ment is on sale at the Warehouse, No. 130, Fleet- street, Where orders for iron doors, closets, chests, & c., are faithfully executed.

Warehouse, 107, Strand, corner of the Savoy- steps, London, JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous endeavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent upon them to request the attention of the Public, in purchasing whatthey conceiveto be the Original, to observe the Name and Address correspond' with the above. The general appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the unguarded, and for their detection, J. B. and Son submit the following Cau- tions : some are in appearance at first sight " The Genuine," but without any name or address— some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies"— others " Burgess,' and many more without address. JOHN BURGESS and SON having been many years honoured with such dis- tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect toward the Public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing whatthey con- ceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments. BURGESS'S NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such great satis- faction, continues to be prepared by them, ana is recommended as a most useful and convenient Sauce— will keep good in all climates.

It adopts the principle of an ascending and descending scale of premiums, whiehis equally applicable to the opulent and those of limited income ; and, from, the moderate and judicious rate of its premiums, particularly on the younger ages, and for short periods, is well deserving the attention and patronage of the public. 4.

In alluding to Lady Morgan's new novel, called The Princess, now on the eve ol appearance, the Metropolitan says—" The forthcoming production will answer to the public^ call that has long demanded from her Ladyship another specimen in that species of composition in which she so eminently excels. This work will add to all the riches of a brilliant imagination,* facts for the historian, and many new views for the philosopher. THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII.— Our notice of this splendid pro- duction will be short ; bursts of admiration are necessarily so. In this work we see genius speaking in her most triumphant language. She has placed tongues in the dead of centuries, and they enchantus. She has disinterred whole populations, and now they breathe, move, and act before us. This work should be first read with the rapidity that intense interest imperatively demands; again leisurely, that its poetical and moral beauties may sink deeply into the heart; and still again, it should be perused with the slow progress of study, that its deep philosophy may be understood. All that we can say, and we could not speak more to the purpose, were we to occupy pages, is, ead! read!! read ! ! !— Metropolitan Magazine. The many conflicting accounts published here as to the existing state of things, on the other side of the Atlantic, determined Mr. Arfwedson, who has just returned to England after travelling throughout the United States and Canada, to note down impartially the result of his own observations, and to lay before the reader information, upon which he might fully rely, on every subject that would be likely to interest him, connected with a country to which TO SPORTSMEN.— SHOOLBRED and announce their newly invented PATENT ELASTIC BELTS. in order to gain an accurate view of the state of society, customs, manners, institutions, religion, and government of the Americans. After having satisfied himself on all tiiese points, he visited Canada, anxious to learn the true condition of the settler there. Not content, however, with'obtaining- a knowledge of life among the white men, his curiosity tempted him into the woods to mix with the Indians— a race now fast passing away, though immortalized in The Prairie, The Last of the Mohicans, and The Pioneers of the celebrated Cooper. To THE LADIES.— M'PHAIL'S GOLD still continues to receive the natronage of fashionable society. Its close resemblance to gold itself, its extreme economy, and the successful manner in which it can be worked up in every description of Jewellery, make it a desirable object to all those who wish to follow the changes of " fashion without incurring the heavy expense of the genuine metal. We are desired to state that M'Phail, the inventor, of 14, Regent- street, opposite. Howell and James's, has commenced the season with a stock of elegancies of the newest fashion and the best workmanship, which cannot fail to excite universal attention. C.

The leading feature in this elegant invention is, that time and wear have no effect upon its appearance. It is manufactured into a variety of costly articles by C. M'Phail, and the most skilful London workmen; and he undertakes to imitate any article of jewellery which may be brought to him, so that it shall not be distinguished from the original.— Ladies having pebbles, cameos, gems, or any old- fashioned jewellery by them, may have them set in the most elegant style, at one- eighth the expense of'gold.

JOHM BULL. LONDON, DECEMBER 14. THEIR MAJESTIES liave remained at St. James's since our last. The KING paid a visit of condolence to Her Royal Highness the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, at Bagshot, on Tuesday. There have been several Councils held at the Palace during the week, and one will be held to- morrow, at which several of the new Ministers will he sworn into office. THE state of suspense in which the - country remained when our last number was published, is ended. Sir ROBERT PEEL arrived in London on Tuesday morning from Dover, which place he reached late on Monday night, and where Lady PEEL and her daughters remained until the following day, her Ladyship having accompanied Sir ROBERT in his journey homewards, and having travelled through eight nights of the eleven which it occupied. Late as it was when Sir ROBERT reached England, a num- ber of the most respectable inhabitants and visitors at Dover thronged round his carriage, and loudly cheered him on his departure for town. At three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon Sir ROBERT had an audience of His MAJESTY, and received from the SOVEREIGN the appointments of First Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer. Immediately after his return from St. James's, Sir ROBERT dispatched messengers with letters to Lord STANLEY and Sir JAMES GRAHAM, inviting them to London, in order to assist him in forming an Administration. On Wednesday the KING held a Court and Council, at which Sir ROBERT PEEL kissed hands on bis appointment as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The office of First Lord of the Treasury is conferred by a Royal Commission, including the names of all the Lords, which has not yet been issued. On Sir ROBERT'S alighting from his carriage, in the Ambassa- dors' Court at the Palace, he was warmly cheered and ap- plauded. We detail these circumstances— which, owing to our lieb- dominal appearance only, may not be '• news" to the great mass of our readers— as facts to be put upon record in our columns, and as the natural commencement of those observa- tions to which they must naturally give rise. It may be recollected by our friends, that we were the first who put forward, as a principle of action in the present crisis, the oblivion of all past party differences upon minor points, for the sake of the consolidation of the Conservative interest in opposition to the Destructives; and glad we were to find that upon the arrival of Sir ROBERT PEEL, his first step was to request the co- operation of those men, who, without coin- promising what may be called in the language of the older time, their political opinions, maintained their Conservative principles, and quitted the Cabinet of which they were mem- bers, the moment their eyes were opened to tlie real designs and intentions of some of their colleagues. To Lord STANLEY and Sir JAMES GRAHAM, then, as we have just said, Sir ROBERT PEEL addressed himself— and upon every principle by which they had been previously actuated, they might have joined his Ministry. They have refused— and in the refusal, couched as it is in the most gratifying and constitutional terms, we see only a continua- tion of the high spirit and independent feeling which dis- tinguished their previous conduct. " Sir ROBERT PEEL, left by the negative of these individuals to look to other quarters for assistance in forming his Go- vernment, will, we are certain, act upon the principles by which, in the first instance, he was induced to invite their co- operation ; and equally certain are we that we shall be able to congratulate the country upon the arrangements which will be made for filling the high offices of State ; and the Administra- tion ( when formed and declared) upon the support and confi- dence of the country. SIR JAMES GRAHAM has arrived in town, in order to reply in person to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S letter; and although we conclude the Right Honourable Baronet will act in unison with Lord STANLEY in declining office, the manner in which the offer has been received naturally leads us to expect from both that support, out of office, to Sir ROBERT'S Govern- ment, which they could not conscientiously afford to the late Ministry. With respect to the Ministerial arrangements, there will be a Court at St. James's to- morrow, when the principal Officers of State will be sworn in, and the appointments will be Ga- zetted on Tuesday. WE were about to offer a few remarks upon the extraordi- nary conduct of Dr. LUSHINGTON, one of His MAJESTY'S Judges in an inferior Court, and occupant of various lucra- tive offices connected with the Ecclesiastical department of Government, in delivering a speech to his constituents of the Tower Hamlets— to designate which, we confess we have some difficulty in finding words sufficiently strong and severe— when we found the following correspondence upon the said speech in yesterday's Morning Chronicle :— Begin we, in due order of precedence, with Sir ROBERT PEEL:— Whitehall, Dec. 12,1834. Sin— 1 have to request that you will take the earliest opportunity of giving publicity to the enclosed correspondence. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ROBERT PEEL. To the Editor of The Morning Chronicle. Whitehall Gardens, Dec. 12,1834— Friday morning, 10 o'clock, a. m. SIB— I have this moment read in The Morning Chronicle of to- day the following report of a speech attributed to you : trust PEEL, who carried Catholic Emancipation !' I cannot help ing against such folly and absurdity. The man who patiently listens to such stuff is an ideot— the man who avows his belief in them is a traitor. How do men act in private life ? Do you confide in those you know to l> e convicted swindlers ? If you seek a woman to he your companion for life, do you take us a wife, or as a mother to your families, a prostitute from the streets ? If, then} men are governed in private life by such feelings, should they not feel equally ' ealous of the character of those who govern them ?" I request that you will inform me whether that part of the above extract which I have marked, be an accurate report of expressions used by you ? I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ROBERT PEEL. Stephen Lushington, Esq., M. P. Great" George- street, Dec. 12, past 3. SIR— At the time your letter arrived, I was professionally engaged Court, but 1 have taken the earliest opportunity to write an It is wholly impossible for me, considering the circumstances attending tlie meeting ol yesterday, to undertake to say with pre- cision what particular expressions I used on that occasion ; but though undoubtedly some of the words stated by you in your letter were uttered by me, yet the whole passage is not correct. I know well the argument 1 used. I intended to support this position— that the world, in their opinion of statesmen, ought to be governed by past experience, and to rebut the assertion, alluding ijiore particularly to the Times, that it was probable the new Administration' having always opposed reform, were proper to be entrusted with carrying into effect the measures expected to result therefrom ; but I do not, as from your letter I conjecture you are inclined to believe, use or intend to use any ex- pression purporting to have any effect beyond this— that the Duke of WELLINGTON and yourself could not be expected to become zealous Reformers in Jhe sense in which that term was understood by the meeting, any more than a great change of principles and character would be likely to occur suddenly in any individual. My observa- tions, if all correctly detailed, did not reflect on the character of any one ; they were directed exclusively to the inexpediency, in my judg- ment, of employing in the cause of reform, persons hitherto opposed thereto, and nothing was further from my intention than to make any personal allusions disrespectful to yourself. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ( Signed) STEPHEN LUSHINGTON. The Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Bart. Whitehall- gardens, Dec. 12,1834. Friday Evening. SIR— The explanation which your letter conveys, and the frank assurance that nothing was further from your intention than to make any personal allusion disrespectful of me, are entirely satisfactory. It is perhaps right that t should add, that for the purpose of re- moving the very erroneous impressions to which the report of your speech" might naturally give rise, it is my intention to give publicity to the correspondence which has passed between us. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, ROBERT PEEL. Stephen Lnsliington, Esq., M. P. So much for Dr. LUSHINGTON'S splendid specimen of word- eating. Nothing can be more clear or concise than the correspondence on the part of Sir ROBERT PEEL : nothing can be more completely satisfactory than the Learned Doctor's unequivocal declaration that he meant nothing, when he said that, which his auditors were foolish enough to think meant something. But we must proceed one step farther, and take the Learned Doctor upon the ground of his " argument,'''' which his coarse and offensive language was meant, as he says, to illustrate. On the 16th day of February, 1829, the Learned Doctor, in a speech delivered by him in the House of Commons, speaks thus of Sir ROBERT PEEL, his character, his prin- ciples, and of his conduct upon this particular question which has now excited the Learned Doctor's indignation and scurrility. The following is an extract from that oration, delivered in reply to a speech from the then Member for Dover:— " The Hon. Member," said Dr. LUSHINGTON, " had ended his speech in a manner worthy its commencement, with the littleness and shallowness which distinguished a mind that was narrow. He had endeavoured to twit the Right Hon. Secretary ( Sir R. PEEL) with a garbled extract from a speech which he had twelve years ago delivered. He was con- vinced that the Right Honourable Gentleman had a mind superior to taunts so petty. CONSCIOUS OF HAVING DIS- CHARGED A GREAT DUTY TO HIS COUNTRY, HE WAS NOT A MAN TO BE TURNED ASIDE OR EVEN NETTLED BY SUCH INSIGNIFICANT, PUNY, AND CONTEMPTIBLE TAUNTS. Was the Right Honourable Gentleman, after having made sacrifices which the Honourable Member could not even comprehend, to be lectured by him ? " He ( Dr. LUSHINGTON) had heard the various accusations preferred against the Right Hon. Gentleman. He had heard him charged with inconsistency on the one hand, and with the love of place on the other. IN HIS ( Dr. LUSHINGTON'S) JUDGMENT, HE HAD BEEN GUILTY OF NEITHER!" " That opinion," added tile Learned Doctor, " undoubtedly could not be formed on the principle of favour; for when the Right Hon. Gentleman had sat on one side the House, he had invariably sat on the other." " Witli respect to the Right Hon. Gentleman's remaining in office," said Dr. LUSHINGTON, " he would say, that if he had resigned his office he would have deserted his duty and betrayed his country. The Right Hon. Gentleman's con- tinuance in office was the best test of his sincerity and the great sacrifice he made for the public good."—" He ( Dr. LUSHINGTON) could hardly restrain his indignation when he heard it insinuated that it was attachment to office which kept the Right Hon. Gentleman ( Sir ROBERT PEEL) in place. Above all men living he could have no sucli object. Com- pared with being at the head of a great and powerful party, if HIS PRINCIPLES WOULD HAVE PERMITTED, the holding office must be to the Right Hon. Gentleman as dust." There is much more in the speech of Dr. LUSHINGTON quite worthy of extract, had we space; but we leave it to our readers to judge of the straightforward sincerity of Dr. LUSH- INGTON'S harangues, and the estimable consistency of his delivered opinions, contenting ourselves with having given them some of the Learned Gentleman's just andliigh eulogiums upon the honour, integrity, and constitutionality of Sir RO- BERT PEEL'S conduct upon the particular question, which, to delude and deceive his ignorant hearers of Thursday, he ventured to assimilate to the criminality of the swindler and the venality of the prostitute. The Learned Gentleman, howevex-, has swallowed his dirt; and to use a pert witticism which we find in the Chronicle— " let him digest it with what appetite he may." Having then, as we think, shewn the exact state of the case as regards theaff'airofSirRoBERT PEEL, it becomes necessary to call attention to another part of the Learned Doctor's harangue, and we think the country in general, and His MAJESTY'S Attorney- General, and the Learned Doctor's own constituents, have a right to demand another exhibition of a similar pro- cess of retraction with regard to the following part of the same offensive speech, which we give as we find it reported in the newspapers:— Dr. LUSHINGTON is reported to have said— " That he was prepared to avow and support, and he did so, the whole of his political conduct since he had the honour of being a Member for the Tower Hamlets. He had adhered inviolably to all the great principles he professed when first he addressed the electors of that borough.—( Great confusion.)— He had told the electors that he was in favour of the ballot, and his conduct in Parliament had shown he was so, for he ha^ l voted in support of it. He had told the electors that he was in favour of triennial Parlia- ments, and he had spoken and voted in favour of them.—( Great cheering.)— He had stated he was hostile to the impressment system, and he had voted for its abolition.—( Great cheering.)— He had stated that he was hostile to the Corn Laws, and he had voted for the motion of his Honourable Friend for their abolition.—( Great cheering, and cries of " The Irish Coercion Bill.")— A man was to be judged by the whole tenor of his conduct, and he defied any person present to state that his conduct had not been what he professed it should be when first he addressed the Tower Hamlets.—( Great cheering, and cries of " It is not."— The electors had sent him into the House of Commons he hoped with a conscience, and he was answerable to his GOD for what he did under the dictates of that conscience.—( Great cheering.)— The present was a great struggle, ai. d should 110. be treated wi u torn empt- or negligence. They had against them first the KING.—( Hear, hear.) — It was false delicacy, it was utterly absurd, to say that in discus- sing these matters he was infringing npon the prerogatives of the Crown. The people also had their prerogatives, and the KING must wait for the people.—( Cheering.)— If he chose to appoint Ministers- the people would not trust, the people could make him chiinge them again.—( Applause.)— What was the state of their country ? For ten years they had a Monarch who was insane ; for ten more he was succeeded by a cold- blooded voluptuary; a change came which had excited hopes, and these were now to be blasted. He warned all th& lovers of monarchy that if such a course was pursued monarchy itself was in danger." This is pretty plain speaking, and considering by whom spoken, not very mean evidence of the real aim and inten- tions of the DESTRUCTIVES. Had any of the every- day speeehifiers of the pot- house or timber- yard said these things, we might have pitied their stupidity while we despised their malevolence, and have set down the coarse and vulgar personal vituperation of our departed Sovereigns, and the in- solent allusion to the Monarch on the Throne, as the out- pourings of ignorance or the ravings of insanity. But not so— Who is the orator ?— what his position in society :— what are his offices in the State ? Dr. STEPHEN LUSHINGTON, who, with a reckless flippancy, which nothing but a similar infliction could justify, alludes to the calamity of the departed GEORGE THE THIRD; and with a coarseness which no one but the paid opponent of his late KING would venture to adopt, records his opinion of KING GEORGE THE FOURTH ; concluding with an attack upon his present MAJESTY, as coane and reckless as the others, and only less explicit in terms, because, thank God, he lives. This Dr. STEPHEN LUSHINGTON is, we say. Judge of the Prerogative, or Consistory Court, Chancellor of the Diocese of London, Chancellor of the Diocese of Rochester, Official to the Archdeacon and Commissary of Westminster, Essex, and Hertfordshire, and of the Deaneries of Essex and Barking, and, what may appear even more surprising to those who heard or may read bis speech, a Doctor of Civil Law. WE have a high regard tor the talents, the amenity, and the activity of Mr. SPRING RICE. He was a most popular and efficient Secretary of the Treasury, and we dare say would have been in time, if fate had permitted, a very excellent Colonial Secretary. TAPPS, the Twickenham coachman, says he thinks the Right Honourable Gentleman would look better if he did not let his hair grow so long over Iiis collar behind ; but that is a mere matter of taste. What we are now going to say is of a graver cast of accusa- tion— not against Mr. RICE personally, but against the late Government, while he was at the head of the Colonial De- partment. We are told that the late Ministers have granted to a Dr. FOLDING, Roman Catholic Bishop of Hiero Casarerr, a sum of one thousand pounds sterling per annum, and one thousand acres of land, for the establishment of a Popish Col- lege in New South Wales, together with the expenses of the outfit of the said most eminent HlEliA PlCRA, and his suite. We shall be too happy to contradict this statement if we have been misled; and as the said Bishop of IIiERA PlC'RA, or whatever it is, is living at No. 35, Golden- square, at the house of the Right Reverend + + + Dr. BRAMSTON, + + - f- there can be no great difficulty in putting us down, if we are wrong. WE were right in our prophetic pun as to the Duke's provisional Government affording relief to the starving and destitute Dominicans. In another part of our paper will be found an evidence of the fact of our having changed a IF/ tig for a liberal Government. WE really regret, at a moment when His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX has just made an effort—" in spite ( as the Morning Chronicle says) of the earnest entreaties of liis friends,"— to pay the last tribute to the memory of His Royal Highness the late Duke of GLOUCESTER, for whom, every body knows His Royal Highness had the highest possible regard and attachment, and of whom he has even to the latest period spoken in the most respectful and affectionate terms ; to be obliged, for the sake of justice, and of the University of Cambridge and her interests, to publish two letters, which— notwithstanding all the afflictions of illness an, d inconvenience under which His Royal Highness labours— he has contrived to write; but lest we should appear to be ill- disposed towards the Royal and Illustrious Personage in question, we prefer submitting them as we finu them in the Cambridge Chronicle of Friday, observing that the prefatory matter is the work of the editor of that most excellent and constitutional paper:— We are induced, at the suggestion of a valued correspondent, to publish two letters, which have already appeared in print, from the Duke of SUSSEX, respecting the University offices now vacant. We think, however, that the friends of his Royal Highness have been much to blame in publishing letters which will do so little injury to those against whom they are directed, and so little credit to the illustrious personage from whom they proceed. His friends in their auger, or their short- sightedness, seem to have miscalculated his influence here. The University has survived the attempt to spring a mine within her very fortress, and it will only laugli at the blank cartridge salute of his Royal Highness's wrath. We think the letters speak so completely for themselves, on the score of good sense and taste* that we must leave them to be read without further comment. " Kensington Palace, Nov. 28th. " MYLORDDUKE,— Inanswertotheletterwith which you favoured me last night, I beg candidly to state to your Grace, that had anyone of my personal friends solicited my support on the vacancy of the I ligli Stewardship of the University of Cambridge, occasioned by the lamented death of the Earl of H ARDWICKE, I should have declined all interference; not wishing toconnect myself more immediately at the present moment with that learned body, after the events which have there so recently taken place; and which I lament to say are, to my feelings, in complete contradiction with the opinions 1 have ever con- scientiously held and advocated both in Parliament and elsewhere. I trust, therefore, my Lord Duke, that you will not attribute my ad- herence to such determination at the ensuing election to any unwil- lingness on my part to meet your Grace's wishes, but to a desire of religiously observing those principles, and of maintaining that line of conduct, which have been the guides of both my public as well as private life.— I have the pleasure to remain, my Lord Duke, with, consideration, " Your Grace's obliged servant, < Src. " AUGUSTUS FREDERIC. " His Grace the Duke of Northumberland, K. G., & c. & c." " Kensington Palace, Dec. 3. " REVEREND SIR— In answer to the letter which you have ad- dressed to me on the 2d inst., I have to express my regret at being unable to give the Marquess of CAMDEN that support you have soli- cited for his Lordship ; as no one entertains a higher respect for him, or is more anxious to shew him personal regard than I am. When I the 1 conviction, D were distinguished, pre- eminently distinguished, for possessing libe- ral, constitutional, and tolerant principles, such as 1 have ever ad- vocated and professed during a Parliamentary career of upwards of 30 years, and which I conscientiously believe best calculated to meet the exigencies and welfare of my country. Finding, however, by the events which took place last session of Parliament, that the opinions of the University are at variance with those I entertain, it is with deep re- gret that I see my self under the necessityofwithdrawingmycounexioa December 141 j o h n b u l l. 397 wuliiiwaiiiHU twuy oimnu, lor several01 wiiom, individually, 1 enter- tain the sincerest regard and affection, but with whose principles, as a tody, 1 entirely differ. Under these circumstances, you will see my inability to meet your wishes, while I express my sincere hope that the Noble Marquess will succeed in obtaining that honour, which can be conferred on no individual more deservedly.— I remain, with con- sideration, Reverend Sir, your obliged, " AUGUSTUS FREDERIC. " The Rev. Dr. Wordsworth, Master of Trinity College." THE Conservative Press all over the country is making a fuss because Lieutenant DRUMMOND, of the Royal Engineers, has hail a pension given him by the late Ministry of 3001. a year. We see nothing to grumble at. It is true he was ex- ceedingly well paid for all his labour about the Reform Bill, and the divisions and subdivisions, and cuttings and carvings, and all the rest; but that lias nothing to do with the pension— the pension is a reward, and a very inadequate one we think, for getting up and preparing all Lord ALTHORP'S budgets; cheap at the money. WE abstained from any observation upon Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR'S speech— the speech of a county Member— upon the autograph letter which that gentleman declared at a pub- lic meeting his uncle, ARTHUR O'CONNOR, had received from the Duke of WELLINGTON, ordering hi n out of Ireland in eight and forty hours, or some such tiling. We were quite sure that the truth would come out from the genuine source, and we now submit the following from the Cork Constitution newspaper:— " In our last publication we mention d the extraordinary fact, that the Duke of WELLINGTON' had written a letter to ARTHURO'CONNOR, ordering his immediate departure from this countrv. AT the time we had what we conceived to be incontrovertible evidence of the fact, viz., the distinct and positive assertion of his nephew, FEARGUS O'CONNOR, the member for the county. The following explicit, but temperate contradiction of it has been addressed by ARTHUR O'CON- NOR himself to the editor of the Southern Reporter ":— "' SIR— Having- heard that, at a public meeting held yesterday in this city, it was stated that I had received an autograph from the Duke of WELLINGTON, written in a very arbitrary tone, directing me forthwith to quit this country, or that I would be exposed t> the penalties of high treason, I beg to say this statement was utti red in, what I ain sure was an unintentional error, but one, on that account, not less necessary for me to correct. " ' I have received no letter from the Duke of WELLINGTON, nor from any one at present in office; nor is the one which I did receive acquainting me with the view which the Duke of WELLINGTON, under the opinion of those with whom he considered it proper to advise, or that in which his Grace conveyed what that opinion was to the personage who applied for an extension of time for me to re- main in this country—- the sole purpose for which I have come to it, to adjust private business, couched in terms to which the language alluded to is at all applicable. • " ' I have further to add, Sir, that no individual who appeared and spoke at the meeting yesterday, ever saw either of the letters to which I have alluded. " ' Having come to this country upon a solemn pledge, asked and freely given, to abstain from any" interference with public affairs or Questions, without, however, compromising any opinions of my own, shall as rigidly, for the few days I have to remain, as I have hitherto done, adhere to my word; and I have only to regret that any cir- cumstance should have drawn me from the privacy in which I desire to remain. " ' ARTHUR CONDORCET O'CONNOR. " ' Cork, December 2.' " The question now rests entirely between the uncle and the nephew. We have no hesitation in saying that we believe the uncle. But what will the English public think of FEARGUS O'CONNOR'S notion of raisin" ( as he elegantly phrases it) a ' hullabolu' against the Duke ? What will they think of the acts of opposition which Irish Reformers are willing to employ against his Government ? Above all, how will they regard the unguarded disclosure of the ultimate views of the Repealers elicited at this same meeting?— FEARGUS boldly says that his uncle, ARTHUR O'CONNOR, was ba- nished for his devotion to his country. The Chairman of the meeting, in his opening speech, asks, ' Can it be believed that that man will progress Reform, whose very first act was to order the great, peace- able, patriotic ARTHUR O'CONNOR out of his native country?'— Here then, at length, is a distinct and open avowal that the reform sought by the O'CONNOR faction, is such a reform as ARTHUR O'CONNOR was banished for endeavouring to ef i effect, viz., a separation of Irrftnd from England by means of a bloody and fierce rebellion. This4s what these gentry call devotion to his country. For this he is styled great, peaceable, and patriotic." WE took occasion the week before last to bring before our readers, entire, the admirable letter of Mr. Sejjeant SPANKIB to the Electors of Finsbury— a letter to us most particularly valuable, not only from its public importance, but because it powerfully, eloquently, and constitutionally illustrates our position, that the factious distinctions of WHIG and TORY are extinct in every honourable breast, and that the empire con- sists but of the two parties— CONSERVATIVES and DE- STRUCTIVES \ Since we took leave to add to the extensive circulation of the Learned Serjeant's address to his constituents, he has published a second, superior to the first, inasmuch as that embraced one or two points upon which some differences might arise. In this which follows, there is nothing at which the most sensitive can cavil. It contains more sound sense, and that which is the result of the possession of sound sense— sound Christian, charitable, and constitutional feel- ing— than any composition has contained in the same— aye, or in ten times the same— space, for many a day. Again we say, let this, as its predecessor was— and its effect has been most powerful— stand recorded as a proof that we were right when we said that CONSERVA- TISM is not confined to merely political parties. It is what it professes to be, a protection for the lives and property of the PEOPLE against the RABBLE. Hence it arises that those who love their country and its Constitution, and who have property to render their lives easy, must range themselves in opposition to the DESTRUCTIVES, who, reckless of conse- quences — desperate, hardened, irreligious, atheists— idle, igno- rant, and unprincipled— are resolved to try the experiment of revolution— the advantages of which have already exhibited themselves in the prosperity of France, the tranquillity of Portugal, the happiness of Spain, the respectability of Bel gium, the importance of Brazil, and the uninterrupted tran- quillity of the whole of liberalised South America, upon the principle of levelling all things by the process of dragging dow n to their own standard, everything to which they by no other process can hope to attain. It is true that LAMBTON— the man wfrom the Duke of WELLINGTON, in a spirit of liberality which we must regret, raised to the peerage— is considered the head of this desperate faction. People are surprised at this, because he has something to lose. Wo are not surprised, because his aim is higher than his deluded followers fancy. Does he, the haughty, morose, ill- conditioned Earl of DURHAM care one farthing for the cause he espouses ? Does he value the drunken cheers to which he brings his wife and poor innocent daughter to listen ?— Not more than he does the whistling of one of his own pitmen. lie thinks lie is using them for a particular purpose-— a purpose which his vanity does not per- mit him to conceal. But let his dupes beware; the moment danger comes— danger which they will incur by pandering to his ambition— he will leave them, spurn them, abandon them. Never let the Radicals ( they have of late had some fresh experience as to their noble friends) forget what COBBETT says upon that particular point:—" When the hour ( of dis- comfiture comes, your JACK STRAWS leave you in the lurch." But we have been led farther from the immediate subject of our praise and admiration than we had intended. The following is the second letter of Mr. Seijeant SPANKIE, from which we apologise to our readers for having so long detained them:— TO THE ELECTORS OF FINSBURY. LETTER II. GENTLEMEN— 1 have already addressed to you a letter containing some observations upon the change of Ministers and the present state of affairs, which I know has given satisfaction to very many of my constituents, and has been received with great approbation through- out the country at large, where it has been extensively circulated. You cannot be unacquainted with the turbulent attempts made ' by many among us here, as well as elsewhere, to excite something be- jond discontent with the conduct of His Majesty in changing his councillors at this time, Snd the endeavours made directly to resist, or indirectly to defeat, the salutary prerogative of the Crown ( like all other prerogatives intended ultimately for the protection ot the people) to appoint its responsible servants. \ ou must have seen that the object of the petitions, resolutions, and remonstrances of several partial and obscure meetings is to pro- cure universal suffrage, short Parliaments, vote bv ballot, a total abolition or entire now model of the upper House of Parliament, and, under the plausible pretence of reforming the Chnrcli, in effect ( to introduce what is now called the voluntary principle, namely, that all men should provide for themselves such religious instructors as they please, and pay them what they think proper ; a system which I am sure would deeply injure the cause or genuine Christianity, and in- troduce among us a set of low meddling Priests or Presbyters; for you must not imagine that if the Church of England were abolished, you would any longer find those respectable well- rewarded ministers among the Dissenters who are now with an honest pride endowed by their followers on a scale nearly equal. to the liberality of the Estab- lishment. I am persuaded that you are all inclined to recommend and en- courage a judicious system of economical administration in every department of the State. I think you are well entitled to expect a reduction of unnecessary expenses, though you form too just an estimate of what is due to efficient public service, and to a provident regard for the public safety, to regulate the establishment of a great nation on a scale prescribed by sordid and short- sighted parsimony. I myself entertain no doubt that the King's Ministers will en- deavour not only by a vigilant Administration to fulfil the public expectation of cheap as well as good Government, but that they will prudently and cautiously endeavour to effect as much improvement in our institutions as is compatible with the preservation of the essential principles of the Constitution. Any scheme of reform that does not harmonise with those principles can only tend to disturb its proportions and to introduce confusion in its movements. ' 1 hose who are desirous of securing these just and laudable ends will patiently wait till the King's new Government has had a fair trial. Those whom prudent and consistent reforms will not satisfy act wisely in their generation by striving to prevent the King's re- sponsible servants from making the experiment; because they desire no other Ministry but one they can controul and use as instruments to accomplish changes which'would utterly subvert our legal Consti- tution, and our existing state of society. The real practical question, Gentlemen, seems to be whether you and the rest of the people of this country will wait, anxiously if you please, but quietly and patiently, till you see what sort of Government the King has appointed to conduct the public affairs; or, whether you are of the number of those who are resolved that the King shall listen to no advice but theirs; employ no Ministers but ot their choosing, adopt no measures but of their recommending; and, finally, that if the King or his Ministers should hesitate to comply with such modest demands the ( people at large through their Ministers and servants ( and who these are it is unnecessary to point out) shall assume the whole direction of affairs, and in defiance of all opposition supersede tit once King, Lords, and Commons, and invest some Committee of Public Safety with absolute authority. If you and others in your situation do not act firmly and steadily, to this com- plexion must we come at last. It necessarily must be so; , for if the people, or even the House of Commons, should assume the sole power there would- be no longer a Ministry of the Crown ( or indeed any legal Constitution), but we should have Executive Committees for the dispatch of all business as in 1648 here, and in France in 15* 1) 4. Admit for a moment that the objects professed by those who sail themselves exclusively of all others the people's friends, are calcu- lated eventually, and m a distant luturity, to improve your condition and that of the whole country ( a thing much more than questionable), you would do well to consider beforehand, how and at what cost they are likely to be obtained. The benefits held out to you by such Reformers as I have described are quite out of sight, and a long weary journey you must take in searcli of them, even if you should ever advance so far as to catch a glimpse of them above the horizon. But who are they who are endeavouring to bring you into sucltj pe- rilous experiments ? I confess they generally appear to me ( arid I speak of the whole tribe) to be of those who composed the gathering at the cave of Adullam. " Every one that was in distress; every one that was in debt; every one that was discontented; gathered themselves." Such in all ages are the materials of which sedition and rebellion are composed ! If the leaders of Political Unions and the declaimers at public meetings should be found to be of this description, are you disposed to follow them and to maintain their cause, on their assurance of benefit to you or to your children ? In the next place, consider what is likely to be the consequence to men of the various professions, to the shopkeepers, builders, carpen- ters, watchmakers, and all other the manufacturers and artisans of this borough, aye, and of the whole country, should the old watch- word of rebellion now revived, " To your tents O Isarel," be obeyed ? What would be the effect to you of a crusade to put down by force the King, the House of Lords, the Church of England, and other recognised and unreformed abuses of this nature ? You cannot but know that there are a very great number of men, of strong bodies and vigorous minds, who are resolute to defend those things which some reformers incite you to attack, and that there must be a very long and bloody contest before the Destructive Reformers could succeed, if they succeeded at all. Suppose such a war actually to take place, or even the constant dread and apprehension of such a war to be suspended over us, what would be the situation of the classes I have mentioned, and to which many of us belong ? Do you remember that during the agitation of the Reform Bill your customers fell off? The demand for the pro- duce of the manufacturer was interrupted. What then would be the consequence of civil confusion? Even a general mourning, pro- tracted, disturbs the arrangements of trade, and leaves your stock unsold on your hands. What then would be the effect of years of tumult and dissension, and years of universal mourning in a land deluged with domestic blood? You must see very clearly that if the rents of the country Gentle- men are not paid, they cannot pay for the produce and manufactures that now amply feed and clothe so many. The professional man could not pay for his supplies because his resources would be dried up. The manufacturer wouldhave no demand for his manufactures. Nothing but bare necessaries would be sought. The demand that employs millions would cease. The shopkeeper would have none but poor beggarly customers; for all would be poor. He in his turn would have no means of paying for the luxuries, or even necessaries, he takes from other shopkeepers and tradesmen; there would be no interchange of commodities, no means of buying, or opportunity of selling. Just ask yourselves what farmer or grazier would raise and send produce to market when credit and confidence were destroyed, and wealth annihilated? What miller would trust the baker? What farmer the miller ? What grazier or salesman the butcher ? What resources, what credit, would replace the deficit occasioned by the interruption of those occupations of industry by which millions get, day by day, their daily bread ? Would the capitalists embark their wealth in useful undertakings ? Would bankers and monied men discount bills or lend money? No man would trust his neighbour for a month. Not only the consump- tion of manufactures would cease, but active capital would be with- drawn from employment, and every difficulty would be accumulated in a country accustomed to the most perfect machinery and the most complete facilities in the management of all transactions. Let ' the sound of civil war be heard, and desolation would be in your streets, poverty and despair in your dwellings. Your busy manufactories, your steam- engines, would stand still; your splendid shops, your elegant repositories would be deserted. Even the quiet occupations of literature and its tasteful embellishments, the genius of the painter and sculptor, and the whole retinue of the imitative arts dependent on them, an immense trade employing and feeding hundreds of thousands, in this metropolis particularly, would perish from the earth. What then would be the situation of the wives and families of the honest tradesmen of this city who calculate upon the regular returns of every day for their subsistence should any seditious or rebellious disturbances break out among us ? Ask yourselves. Is it not a real inconvenience to be compelled to shut up your shops for a day in the case of turbulent meetings and processions ? What would be the state of things if millions were permanently, or for years or months, thrown out of employment, and of course reduced to want or driven to robbery ? None, believe me, are so dependent on peace and tran- quillity as the middle and industrious classes like you, and it were madness as well as wickedness in them to encourage the disturbers of society. Happily the calamities of war, far more of civil war, are unknown among us. Those who read may form some idea of them. Those who have witnessed the battles and the barricades of conflicting fellow citizens in other countries can tell the fearful tale. The miseries of our own civil wars ( the mildest of civil wars) left a deep tinge of grief on the minds of their contemporaries, and a poet who touched upon the period describes the desolation of feeling men's hearts had suffered— " Youth that with joys had unacquainted been, Envy'd grey hairs that once good days had seen." Be warned in time lest your ideas of happiness may also become recollections of the past! But is our Government so utterly bad ( and it is represented by some as an absolute nuisance, to be wholly abated) as to deserve to be subjected to the rude reformation proposed? Do you think that another Government would secure the personal liberty and property of all classes better than they are now secured and protected ? Is any man's fair talent and industry harshly and oppressively kept down ? Is there any profession that does not yield to diligence and ability their fit reward ? Do not ingenuity, skill, and perseverance emerge in every walk of life, in the professions, in trade, manufac- tures, and commerce ? Look around you and you will see innumer- able instances of fortunate industry acquiring the highest wealth and distinction. Surely if there be truth in the divine saying that a " tree is known by its fruits," the fruits before you, and which if yon are diligent and peaceable in your callings you " yourselves may taste and enjoy, are not the fruits of bad Government. If the late Ministers could not carry on public affairs without risk- ing a collision between the different branches of the Legislature, and incurring the dangers of civil dissension, it surely was expedient that a change should be made, and a fair opportunity should be given to other men to endeavour, before an utter abandonment of the Consti- tution, to reconcile for the common safety the desires of the people with the necessary prerogative of the Crown and the just privileges of the Upper House of Parliament ? I see no reason to believe that the Ministers likely to be chosen by the King will be inferior to their predecessors in public or private reputation, in ability, in experience, or in good intentions. It seems to me that they will' be quite as well disposed to correct real abuses and to carry beneficial reforms, without pandering to a depraved ap- petite for change; and that while they reform with safety to the public peace, they will be enabled, by a more decisive concurrence of good men of all parties, to oppose the torrent of rash innovation. But while 1 venture to recommend to you the duty prescribed in those oracles, which 1 am sure you still venerate as sacred, " that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business," do not think that I entertain a supercilious and unwarrantable contempt for your capacity, or consider all concern on your part in public affairs as misplaced. It is a necessary check upon a bad Government that the real people, that the settled, considerate, reflecting part of the com- munity should exercise an impartial judgment on the conduct of public men, and the management oi' public affairs; and it is the best security and the best reward of good government to be heard, tried, and judged by a sober and enlightened national opinion. I am sure ttiat you justly prize your political rights, your elective franchise, your title to discuss public measures ; and that the humblest among you feels, as he ought, the just pride that belongs to the citizen of a free state. You must see, however, that these rights were intended as a shield to defend, not as a sword to assail ; and that the most intolerable of all Governments is that insurrec- tionary democracy in which the mass of the popula tion are perpetually throwing, not their deliberate weight and wisdom ( how can they ?) into the scale, but the blind fury of ttieir misguided numbers. If the class of the community whom I have the honour of address- ing should be so far deluded as to listen to the call of agitators and Political Unionists, society, that was intended to combine us in common safety and protection, will only bring us together for surer destruction, and every man's hand will be against his brother. Providence has decreed, wisely and graciously, that the vast ma- jority of human beings in every country must earn their subsistence by the sweat of their brow, and must live by toiling for each other in the intercourse of produce, skill, and labour, bodily or intellectual. No Government can alter this decree. Men ( who live at ease and without labour ( sometimes the objects of envy) will not always be found to possess happiness in proportion to their apparent opportu- nities . ' 1 he situation of those who toil admits of many compensations that balance the advantages of the wealthy. But whether the account be balanced or not, the rights of property must be respected- Those who live idle live upon their own acquisitions, or on the accumulations of former labour and industry transmitted to them; and property is protected that talents, ingenuity, and labour may be encouraged to form new creations and new successions of property. Consider for a moment! Is there any Government, be its form what it may, that could relieve us from labouring in our vocation ? Is there any Government under which arts and industry would flourish more, under which we could exercise the liberal professions or the elegant and liberal arts, or pursue manufactures, or buy, or sell, or build, or do any manner of work for each other, better than under that in which we and our ancestors have lived with content, with happiness, and with pride ? Our Constitution of King, Lords, and Commons has given us these blessings. You cannot believe that the King, who has shown him- self so indulgent— perhaps too indulgent— to the wishes, or supposed wishes of his people, should desire now to become their oppressor ? You cannot be so unjust as to imagine that he has chosen, or will choose, - Ministers to be the instruments of his tyranny, or the scourges of an obedient and unoffending people? It is a falsehood too extravagant even for party and political malice, to assert that Ministers are selected or to be selected by the King to disturb your established liberties, or to disappoint your reasonable expectations. Cherish, then, your Constitution as the foundation ana security of what you enjoy. Cling to the institutions which have distinguished you as a free people. Preserve to your children that order of society- ill which the humblest may " owe a better fortune to their own merit and exertions," and in which no rewards, even the most envied, are withheld from talents and industry. Others may tempt you with vain and shallow promises. I promise to endeavour, by every exertion in my power, in or out of Parliament, to preserve for you the Government under which you have lived pros- perous and happy. To oppose those aggressive, offensive demands of destructive change which disturb the prospects of the public, and destroy the enjoyment of private life— to bring back again, if possible, the contented mind, the sound hearts, the honest feelings, the cheerful temper of Englishmen— poisoned and perverted by these miserable political contentions— and to maintain the liberties, the laws, and religion of your forefathers. I am, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, Russell- square, Dec. 9.1834. R. SPANKIE. ELECTORS OF GREAT BRITAIN ! As a dissolution of Parliament is pretty generally believed as more than probable, and as many candidates have already commenced a canvass for your suffrages, it may not be improper to address a few words to you on the subject, although the event may prove that both are equally premature. Adopting however the common opinion, it may justly be said that never did the annals of this nation present a more important crisis than that which now offers itself, and never was it in the power of British Electors more effectually to serve their conntry, their KING, their Church, and themselves, than at this moment. On you, in a very considerable degree, depends the future • 315 j o h n b u l l . December 21. destiny of this kingdom; your support of the real, or your encourage- ment of the nominal friends of the State, by counteracting or adding • weight to an already preponderating influence, will, in all proba- bility, decide whether we shall henceforth maintain the rank we have hitherto heid among other nations, or shall sink, by certain and not perhaps slow degrees, into insignificance and contempt. Reflect seriously then on the consequences of your decision before it is made, for remember that a false step once taken, may be as far beyond your recall, as the ruin resulting from it may prove irremediable. You are again about to be called upon to make a public demonstra- tion of your principles and sentiments, and universal attention will be drawn upon you. Prepare then for the eventful hour as becomes men who are sensible of the importance of the stake at issue, an their own share in the result. Lay aside all feelings of mere party, all former heartburnings of opposition, all considerations of selfish interest, and regard only the duty, the plain yet direct duty before you. Whatever else may be said, you have this great advantage over a previous election— that whereas judgment was then overpowered by sanguine expectations of permanent and essential good, you have now experience to guide you, and you may draw your deductions from facts, not promises. Reform was at that period the watchword, or more properly speaking, the match by which every train of inflam- mable feeling was fired; and hard and fast you bound your repre- sentatives to support every clause of the memorable Bill which was to ensure it. The object of your desire has been obtained: for two years the country has been ruled by its advocates ; for two years a reformed Parliament has exercisedits functions. All former theories now resolve themselves into the compass of a few plain questions. Are your expectations answered ? Has the benefit you anticipated followed, or are you disappointed in the working of your favourite measure ? Do our sails agaiu whiten the breast of Ocean, or are the agricultural interests ol the kingdom promoted by it or not ? Have you received the relief of which you were so confident ? Are your burthens less oppressive, your poor less numerous, your hopes of reviving prosperity brighter ? In a word, have the promises which were made yon been fulfilled, and is your condition at this moment better than when you deserted those who had formerly represented you, and whose families, through many generations, had been the guardians of your liberties and interests, to confide all to strangers* and, as far as you in many instances were concerned— aliens; men having no local tie, no feeling in common with you, no personal claim either upon your respect or your gratitude ? Let your own conviction of the fact supply your answer, and your good sense and just principles suggest the path you ought to pursue: wisdom is never too dearly bought, if it be not bought too late. Reform, however, is still the cry. The State having been purged, as it is pretended, of its corruptions, the Church must follow. The war- whoop has been set up, and already has the enemy not only pursued, but, in imagination, overtaken, and divided the spoil. Reckless measures have been proposed for her spoliation, and aban- doned only because the more honourable and conscientious of those • who were in array against her, refused to lend their hand to the sacrilegious work, and deserted their party to remain faithful to their GOD. But the experiment has been made; and it behoves you to draw a proper inference from the circumstance, and to make a right use of it. You have seen what was projected on the subject with respect to the Irish Church Temporalities Bill, and you may form a tolerably correct calculation as to what will be projected in regard to the English Church, if you invest the same men with the same or greater power. The question in fact is, not whether any abuses exist in the present Church Establishment which may not be reformed advantageously to all parties, if undertaken in a true Christian spirit, and with discretion— but whether a Church Establish- ment shall exist at all; for let its maintainance cease to be a na- tional charge, and its destruction is sealed. Beware then how you are deceived by a conscientious wish for that which is desirable, and which a judicious hand and temperate measures alone can safely effect, into a sacrilegious and impious demolition of that which ought to be most sacred to you. Beware how, with the best inten- tions, and the most sincere attachment to that Established Church • which your ancestors bled to obtain, and whiph succeeding genera- tions have concurred to cherish and reverence, you yield your aid to lay her in the dust, and leave yourselves no consecrated spot in which you may worship the GOD of your faith, and the GOD of your fathers. Electors! he that acts unwisely as regards only his own success in life, is little esteemed by his contemporaries; you have not only an individual interest at this moment at stake, but the best interests also of many generations to come; for it cannot fail but that the result of this election must vitally affect the welfare and stability of the kingdom, and form an important epoch in her history for the data of good or evil. Consider, therefore, that you are about to determine not merely on your own well- being, but upon that of pos- terity, and by the duty you owe to them as to your country and your GOD, reflect sincerely on the awful responsibilty with which you are charged, and so decide as you may hope hereafter to answer satisfac- torily to your conscience. It is a natural and laudable feeling which prompts us to consider in what remembrance we shall be held by those who are to come after us; and few there are who are indifferent on this point. Shall your descendants then have cause to reverence your memory as benefactors, or contemn you as foes ? as having faithfully transmitted to them the invaluable privileges you received from your own ancestors, or as having robbed them of all that • was annexed to their birthright as Britons, and bequeathed them only the galling conviction that their name is their sole inheritance, the poor remnant of a patrimony too rich for the stranger to try. For remember, if England be ruined, she will be ruined by those whose duty it is to protect her; her peculiar and insular situation, the fertility of her soil, the variety of her resources, the strength and harmony of her Constitution, leave her little to fear from open assault; no foreign foe will wrench her glories from her, no usurping foot will dispossess her sons of the land which her fathers have tilled, no champion of a false faith will despoil or desecrate her altars, no successful adventurer change her government, binding " her nobles with links of iron," and her husbandmen with fetters of brass. Those and those only whom she has nourished in her bosom can destroy her, and on them must the malediction of future ages fall. Remember then, that while the consequences of your determination will be beyond your control, the act itself by which these consequences are produced, is voluntary, and therefore subjects you to all the reproach and opprobrium which the sense of injury may cast upon you. As men, as fathers, as free- born sous of a free soil, PAUSE ERF. YOUR WORD IS PLEDGED. These last words suggest an admonitory caution which might require an apology, if the fact to which they refer was not too noto- rious to render it necessary. On a former election, the complaint was wide and generally made that the promise pledged was, in many instances, not only never redeemed, but dishonourably forfeited at He moment of test. Conduct like this is so utterly disgraceful, uml so totally incompatible with the respectability of a British elector, that it ought to be regarded with detestation equally by all who know and feel their just importance as members of a free State, and by all who own the common principles of integrity. The same arts, the same persuasions, however, which formerly seduced you, will, most probably, be again employed; but spurn with becoming indig- nation the insinuators of such baseness, and prove that you consider the man who would induce you to a breach of trust, is himself un- worthy of confidence. Nor is such a conclusion anything but just and reasonable. He who is mean or unprincipled enough to urge another to break good faith, will himself, no doubt, break faith with you if his interest lead him to do so, and will repay with dishonour that which dishonour won; while he who has forfeited his own word leaves himself without one just ground to complain of the forfeiture of another's, and must be content to share both the disgrace and the contempt that each has incurred. Seize the opportunity of wiping away the stigma that has been attached to you; truth, honour, and integrity were the characteristics of British electors, let them be so still, and give no man the power to fling back in your face that which should crimson it with shame— a broken faith. One observation more. On a late occasion you claimed from the candidate for your suffrages, his positive pledge upon certain ques- tions, and depriving him of all discretionary power, of all exercise of judgment as circumstances might demand it, you returned him to Parliament rather as your delegate than as your honourable repre- sentative. By so doing, you assumed a power which could scarcely be said to belong to you, whilst you effectually prevented him from performing his duty truly to yourselves and the country at large, and at the same time in the most unequivocal manner marked your dis- trust and apprehension. In many cases these perhaps were not ill- founded, and so far the course you adopted was excusable; but had you not bestowed your suffrages on individuals who could recom- mend themselves to your favour only by the vehemence and magni- tude of their professions, you would not have deemed such requisi- tions necessary, nor such pledges more consistent with yourselves to demand, than another to give. Avoid this error in the present in- stance. Let the men to whom you would now entrust the guardian- ship of your interests, be those who invite confidence by upright cha- racters and known principles— men whose local interests are closely united with your own, or who hav e a real stake in the property, and therefore in the prosperity of the nation, and who are consequently bound by a regard to their own welfare to maintain and protect yours. Promises cannot bind the worthless, while they occasionally fetter the honourable, and nullify all the strength of talent, and all the ad- vantage of sound discrimination. If you cannot place dependence on* him who offers himself to your choice, refuse him your support; but if you believe him worthy of the sacred trust you would repose in him, leave him his just share of the freedoms you claim for yourself, and holding iu pledge as you ought, a reputation of unblemished honour, and sound constitutional principles, let him take his seat in the council of the nation, as a true representative of independent freeholders. Electors! not only are the eyes of this empire at this crisis fixed upon you, but those also of the neighbouring States. You have long held a dignified and important station in civilized society, and com- manded respect even in remote countries. Feel then your just weight and consequence, and act worthy of yourselves. Great Britain has long sat not only as Queen of the isles, but as mistress of the world ; but from whence this proud distinction ? From whence indeed but from her unrivalled constitution, from the just and firm enforcement of her laws, and from the purity of her established reli- j gion, which at once confirm and perpetuate the strong features of her national character, and present her to the world, great in courage, because free— great in moral worth, because blessed with an uncor- rupted faith— formidable to her foes, because united in herself— a re- fuge to all, because defended by the principles of that constitution and religion from being the oppressor of any. Shall she then cease to exist, or become a bye- word and a reproach, or shall she maintain her ancient place and dignity, lofty as the cliffs which girdle her, firm as the rocks that shield her ? Pursue the innovations made on her constitution, and her doom is fixed. Resist all future unlawful attempts at its subversion, and with the blessing of Providence, she shall yet ride out the storm, and despise the wirlwind which her enemies have raised against her. Rouse ye then— once more " England expects every man to do his duty." Respond to her de- mand, realize her just hopes— wise as temperate, firm as conscien- tious, sound in judgment, noble in rectitude, bold in integrity, united in effort as in aim, stand forthjlike men, like Britons, like Christians, in her defence— in the defence of your own best rights, of the inheri- tance of your children, 6f the throne of j'otir KING, and of the altar of your Gon. ONE OF YOURSELVES. His Highness Prince FREDERICK WILLIAM CHARLES LEWIS, of Hesse Philipsthal, died at Copenhagen on the 30th Nov. The Court has gone into mourning for four weeks. Gen. Sir A. FITZGERALD, Bart., died at his house, Lower Mount- street, Dublin, on Wednesday the 3d instant, of a sudden attack of erysipelas. At a meeting of the subscribers to LLOYD'S, on Wednesday, the sum of 1001. was unauimously voted to the sufferers by the recent dreadful hurricane at Dominica. Lord BROUGHAM ( says the Herald) appears to be at all in the ring. He was to have dined on Tuesday last with a literary club, established in Paris by M. JULIE:;, ROBESPIERRE'S agent at Bordeaux during the reign of terror! The Emperor of AUSTRIA is about to establish a new line Of packets between Patras and Alexandria. Three vessels of war, among which is the brig Oreste, have been appointed to commence this service, immediately. The. Due de BROULIE will, it is now said, be immediately dis- patched to London, as French Ambassador to the British Court. The Messager de Marseilles states that that port has become so full of ships that there is scarcely room for any more, and the warehouses are so overcharged that the quays remain encumbered with merchant- dise for want of room to stow it in. The provisional arrest of Mr. SAMSON, son of a rich banker in Lon- don, for the enormous sum of 200,000 francs has just been confirmed by a sentence of the tribunal at Brussels. At the Radical Meeting at White Conduit House, last week, numerous robberies took place— Mr. NICHOLSON, the Chairman Mr. JOSEPH H UME, and Mr. STARLING, of Wilmington- square, were among the sufferers. LORD BROUGHAM.—" The creature is at its dirty work again." At the Clubs last night the common topic of conversation was a letter addressed by Lord BROUGHAM to his friend Mr. J OSEPH HUME ! To this complexioN has he come at last! Contemned and distrusted by his late colleague, despised by that " gracious master" he bespattered with fulsome adulation, rejected by the Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir ROBERT PEEL, he now throws himself upon the candour and forgiveness of honest JOSEPH and the Radicals! that is, of the very persons he has for years lampooned and vilified in all possible ways. Was ever man so sunk, so degraded ? We have no doubt that ten days hence he will be corresponding with his " affectionate friend'c Mr. O'CONNELL.— Courier. In the Nodes in Blackwood for the present month North gives us the following exquisite definition:—" Tickler— Pray Kit, what was demonstrated by the DURHAM demonstration? North—' Hint the stomachs of the Glasgow Radicals revolt from wine." Died on the 5th inst., at Killeneure, near Athlone, in the 53d year of his age, deeply lamented by his family, and sincerely regretted by his relatives and friends, jMajor- General JAMES PATRICK MURRAY, C. B., only son of the late General the Hon. JAMES MURRAY, formerly Governor of Quebec, and afterwards of Minorca during its memo- rable siege. The Indian chief MACK COOROS VAMPOUIGA, accompanied by his wife, sister, interpreter, and three warriors of the Chippawa nation, have arrived in London. The Gravesend Journal announces the failure of the Dartf6rd bank - of JAMES and Sons, which took place on Tuesday. The sensation at Dartford and the surrounding parts was very great, from the unex- pected occurrence. Hopes are entertained the firm will ultimately pay 20s. in the pound. Two gentlemen have offered to advance 15s. on all notes in Gravesend. The Gloucestershire Chronicle says:— The unmanly, disloyal, and disgusting conduct exhibited at the late entertainment given in honour of the discarded candidate, Mr. LEIGH, continues to be the prevailing theme of the neighbourhood, and to be justly reprobated wherever it is known. Many of the Whigs, especially those of the old school, begin to see, and to ac- knowledge, that what ( in modern political cant) is called liberalism, is not a step removed from blackguardism, and even at Stroud the term liberal now passes current for brutal. The self- called liberals assembled on this occasion strongly evinced their liberality, not only by their disloyalty to their KING, but by their low, mean, pitiful refusal to drink the QUEEN'S health. _ We presume they were anxious to shew the world, that their reform in manners, kept pace with their reform in politics, and since the latter had proved destructive to the welfare of the country, the former had removed every sense of delicacy towards the female sex. This seems to be the natural effects of modern liberalism; beginning in disloyalty and ending in barbarism — insulting their superiors, and tyrannizing over the powerless; overthrowing the institutions they " should revere, and cowardly ill— • using the sex they should cherish and love. We admit that there were some men of refined feelings present at the dinner who felt mortified at beholding the consequences of what is cantingly termed liberal principles, and we would recommend such to wash their hands in future of such filthy associates. The Nuremberg Correspondent informs us that in the Prussian Official Calendar, published under the superintendence of the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Royal Families of Spain and Portugal are omitted this year, whence it is inferred that the Prussian Cabinet is resolved not to acknowledge at present the existing Governments of those corrtitries. A speedy recognition of Don CARLOS by the Northern Powers is even spoken of. The communicator of a paper in the Medical Gazette gives the following account of the Polish Jews :—" If there is a mass of living filth in human shape it is to be found in a Polish Jew, who stalks up and down the streets in a long gown and fur cap upon his head, nor changes his gabardine till it falls piecemeal off his body rotted by age. His long flowing hair falling in ringlets upon his shoulders, and curling at the extremity, would seem to offer a fine nursery for the plica" a— disease arising from filth. The following singular circumstance is recorded in a Paris paper as having taken place within the last few weeks :— A number of English, mostly medical gentlemen, now in Paris, being at dinner together, the conversation turned on scientific sub- jects. A. Dr. B. took out of his pocket Dr. HERISON'S lately invented instrument to measure, the energy of the pulse's impulsions, called the Sphygmometre: one of the company, Dr. S., in a careless way, and as if to feed the conversation, stretched out his hand to have the energy of his impulsion ascertained. Dr. B. examined it with great care and attention, and laying down his instrument, said with a serious countenance,—" I would not for the world have such a pulse.'' " Why?" answered Dr. S.; and notwithstanding he then felt quite well, the next day he expired in a fit of apoplexy! RAPIDITY OF COMMUNICATION.— Advices from New York of the 2d of October were received in Liverpool by the f'ictoria; answers were returned by the Caledonia, which reached New York in twenty- six days; and replies to those answers were received on Saturday last, by the Britannia', thus completing three communications between Liverpool and New York in the unexampled short space of sixty- five days. A most miserable attempt was made on Thursday evening by the Radicals in the neighbourhood of Cromer- street, Gray's Inn- road, to get up a meeting for the purpose of carrying certain resolutions de- precatory of the present arrangement of the Administration. Mr. SHAW, the editor of the Mark- lane Express, in the Chair. Nothing occurred worth public notice. About forty individuals were present, and the meeting separated about half- past ten o'clock. Another meeting of the elite of the Tower Hamlets also took place on Thurs- day, at which Dr. LUSHINGTON, M. P., \ V. CLAY, M. P., and JOSEPH HUME, M. P. ( of course), were present. The resolutions were in the same strain as at all the late exhibitions. According to the Jjugsburgh Gazette's advices from Constantinople of the loth November, Lord PONSONBY has declared to the REIS EFFENDI that England is determined on preventing MEHEMED ALI making any incursions upon the Ottoman territory. In the event of an aggression on his part, the British squadron, it is added, would blockade the Egyptian ports. The Roman Gazette announces, in the following terms, the arrival of Don MIGUEL in that city:—" His Most Faithful Majesty Don MIGUEL I. returned to this capital on the 23d inst., from his journey to Upper Italy." Advices from Mauritius state that Captain HART, of the Ima- gine, had been recently sent to the Persian Gulf, on a mission to the Imaum of Muscat, relative to a treaty which his Highness had re- cently concluded with the United States of America, by which they become entitled to form a settlement at Zanzibar, or any other part on the coast. The result of Captain HART'S mission had been a simi- lar grant to the English, should such be necessary. Lord STANLEY has declined the public dinner proposed to be given him on the occasion of his visit to Glasgow, to be installed into the office of Lord Rector. It is asserted in the newspapers that Lord GREY has given in his adhesion to the new Government. Bayonne letters of the 5th, contained in a morning paper, state that, on the lstand2d inst., ZUMALACARREGUI attacked the three for- tified barracks of Caporoso, Falces, and Peraltsj, and parried them after a resistance of twenty- four hours. Their garrisons, consisting of 300 Urbans, and 200 soldiers of the line, were put to the sword. At the instance of Mr. GOLDICUTT, several gentlemen, chiefly ar- chitects, held a meeting early in the present year, to consider the propriety of offering some mark of respect to Sir JOHN SOANE, and it was determined that a medal should be struck in honour of the venerable architect. The Bank of England came forward immedi- ately, and subscribed 100 guiueas for that purpose. Other subscrip December 14. j o h n b u l l. 399 I - tions followed, amounting in the whole to 300. The medals are now striking, and it is intended that the presentation shall take place in the beginning of February. Calcutta papers to the 5th of July, state that the provisions of the New Charter, empowering all natural born subjects. of his MAJESTY to hold lands, had been acted upon, a gentleman in the neighbour- hood of Agra having applied to the Commissioners to hold lands in his own name, to which request the Government had acceded. The North Devon Advertiser says that Mr. B UCK is to start for the Northern Division of the county, in the event of a dissolution ; and adds, that surrounded by a vast property within the district, and at- tached, as Mr. BUCK is known to be, to the agricultural interests, in whose hands could those interests be better confided. Wednesday being the sixty- sixth anniversary of the foundation of the Royal Academy of Arts, a General Assembly of the Academi- cians was held at their apartments in Somerset House, when the following distribution of premiums took place, viz.:— To Mr. George Sayer, for the best copy made in the Painting School, the silver medal, and the lectures of the Professors Barry, Ome, and Fuseli, handsomely bound and inscribed. To Mr. James Walsh, for the best drawing from the life, the silver medal. To Mr. John Johnson, for the best drawing of the front of the new Council Office, Whitehall, the silver medal. To Mr. Eldred Lea, for the best drawing from the Antique, the silver medal. To Mr. Geor » e Medus Bool, for the best model from the Antique, the silver medal. Which was concluded with a short address from the President to the students. The General Assembly afterwards proceeded to ap- point officers for the ensuing year, when Sir Martin Archer Shee was unanimously re- elected President. Council New List— Alfred Edward Chalon, Thomas Phillips, Augustus Wall Callcott. Old List— Charles Lock Eastlake, Wm. Mulready, Esq.; Sir J. Wyatville, and George Jones, Esq.

Chalon, W. Turner, and R. Esqrs. Auditors re- elected— W. Mulready, J. M. Westmacott, Esqrs. The Belfast address iu favour of the late Ministerial changes is igned by no less than 22,000 persons. The Morning Herahl denies Lord BROUGHAM the merit of having cleared the arrears in Chancery, observing that the fact of arrears having been cleared from Lord B.' s Court arose from the causes being thrown upon the Vice- Chancellor's Court, in which, at the close of last Session, there were upwards of 200 causes in arrear. The debate in the French Chambers, which had been adjourned until Saturday, closed on that evening, when the Chamber divided on a motion by M. IIERVE, to the effect that the explanation of the Ministry relative to their policy had been satisfactory. The Ministry had a decided majority, 184 having voted for the proposition of M. IIERVE, and 117 against it, leaving a majority of 67- The opposition are evidently much disappointed at this result, which affords an additional proof that the French are tired of mouvements, and daily more convinced that peace at home and abroad is the best means of promoting the welfare of the nation.

Dr. Turten, Regius Professor of Divinity from John ix. v. 4 :—" I most work the work of him that sent me, while it is day: the night Cometh, when no man can work." The Learned Professor, i i the course of his sermon, after passing a high and well- merited eulogitim on the character of the late Earl of Hardwicke, High Steward of the University, dwelt at great length, and with the most eloquent simplicity, on the excellent traits of character evinced in the public and private conduct of the late Chancellor. As we venture to hope that the sermon will b'e pub- lished, we yrill not diminish tlie effect which it must have produced on those who heard it, by giving an imperfect analysis of it; but we cannot refrain from borrowing one small portion of the Professor's . sermon, which proves the most important point of all— the piety and resignation of the noble sufferer. The truth of the following circum- stance may be relied upon :—' - During an occasional intermission of the pains of disease, one of his attendants said to him, ' You are better; you need not despair.' To which the Duke replied, ' I shall die; but 1 do net despair.' "— After the sermon the anthem, Behold, I tell yen a mystery," was performed by the choir.— Cambridge Chronicle. On Tuesday hist, John Rowland West, B. A., of Trinity college, was eleeted a Fellow of Clare hall. Rev. Doctor replied in an address remarkable for piety and feeling. The plateconsistsofa richly- wrought salver of thevalue'of 20' guinea- s. The salver is enriched bv tlie arms of Dr. JAMES, and bears the fol- lowing inscription :—" Presented to the Rev. J. B. JAMES, B. C. L., M. D., F. L. S., by his friends at Calne, in testimony of their high re- spect for his character ns a Clergyman. 1834." We regret to state that on Wednesday last ns the Lord Bishop of this diocese, on horseback, was descending the hill near the four mile stone on the Tiverton road, in the parish of Rew, the horse fell and threw him, by which his Lordship was severely bruised, but not seriously hurt. He was immediately assisted to the house of the Rev. Sir. BOND at Stoke Canon, and afterwards conveyed to the palace in this city, in his gig.— Eu'eter Post. A vestry was held in the parish Church of St. Mary's, Islington, on Thursday se'nnight, for the purpose of making a Church and other rates.' The Radicals assembled to oppose the rate, but were beaten by at least ten to one by a show of hands. At the date of the last accounts from Calcutta, Bishop WILSON was about to commence his episcopal visitation. He intended to visit Madras, Penang, Malacca, and Ceylon. The Rev. II. WALFOLE NEVILLE, of Bergh Apton, has this year returned 10 per cent, of his tithes ; the Rev. H. EVAXS, of Swanton Abbott, and the Rev. J. BROWSE, of Crownthorpe, 15 per cent.; the Rev. Professor JARRETT, of Trunch, and tlie Rev. R. BLACKLOCK, of Gimingham, 15 to 17 per cent.; and the Rev. E. MARSHAM, Wramp- lingham, 20 per cent. By a melancholy coincidence of circumstances, the Scottish Epis- copal Church has within three days been deprived by death of three of her venerable and oldest Clergymen— viz., the Very Rev. ALEX- ANDER SHAND, Dean of the Diocese of Aberdeen, and tor upwards of 44 years minister of the Episcopal congregation of Arradoul, near Buckie, where he died on the evening of the 10th ultimo; Rev. ALEXANDER CRUICKSHANK, for many years minister of the Episco- pal Chapel at Muthil, in Perthshire, on the 11th ultimo; and the Rev. GEORGE GARDEN, minister of the Episcopal Chapel at Stone- haven, early in the morning of the 13th of November.— Aberdeen Journal. The Dowager Countess of BEAUCHAMF, has subscribed 251., and JOSHUA WATSON, Esq., 101., towards the exterior repairs of Great Malvern Church. On Monday last, the parishioners of Wingham presented, by depu- tation, a handsome silver snuff- box to the Ilev. T. B. ROUND, M. A., as a mark of their unqualified respect and esteem for the manner in which he has performed the clerical duties of the parish, during the period that they have devolved upon him. The cause of the Episcopal religion seems to be spreading apace in the North of England. One new Church lias lately been opened at South Shields, another just finished at Shildon, near Bishop Auckland, another is in progress at North Shields. The foundation stone of one was laid at Stockton about a fortnight Since, and another will be commenced at Darlington immediately after Christmas. The Dean of WESTMINSTER, with his usual liberality, has contri- buted 1001. to the Westminster Infant and Sunday Schools. This is in addition to a grant of 1501. made by the Chapter for the same purpose. The Rev. B. NEWMAN, late of Glastonbury, has been presented by his congregation with a beautiful piece of plate, in testimony of the very faithful and attentive discharge of his duties while amongst them. The Dublin Evening Mail contains a valuable report of returns, presenting a comparative view of Protestant and Roman Catholic property, in 241 parishes, taken from the most Roman Catholic parts of Ireland, but taken altos- ether at hazard, The general result is— Protestant property, 2,002,227 acres; Roman Catholic property, 71,404 acres. Protestant Tithe Composition, in the same parishes, 83, 5811.; Roman Catholic Composition, 2,8371. During the last twelve months the Bishop of DURHAM has given the following munificent sums to different charitable and religions Institutions in the Diocese of St. David's and Llandaff— to St. David's College, Lampeter, 5001.; the New Church at Tredegar, 1001.; the New Church at Newport, Monmouthshire, 501.; and to the Mon- mouth and Glamorgan Infirmary, 501.; besides a hundred pounds whicli he every year sends to be distributed in different charities in the Diocese of Llandaff, making in all 8001. during the past year. His Lordship has given several thousand pounds to similar Institu- tions in his own Diocese, as well as in other parts of the kingdom. CHURCH ESTABLISHMENT.— It is an established axiom in contro- versy, that no argument is so conclusive as the concession of an op- ponent. Dr. I'VE SMITH, eminent for his piety and learning, and a leading Dissenter, in a recent sermon entitled " The necessity of re- ligion to the well- being of a nation," has the following passage:— " Those whom God honours, let us delight to honour. I must pro- fess my opinion that the increase of vital piety in the Established Church within the last thirty or forty years lias been greater than among us." Even so far back as 1776," Mr. GEORGE BURDER owns in his Diary, that he had found abundantly more of the power of God with the Evangelical Clergyman— it will be naturally asked than with whom?— than with the Dissenters. ( Memoir, p. 34.)— These two sentences should make the tour of all England and Wales. The opinion of Dr. I'VE SMITH, with regard to the connection between Church and State is candidly and honourably expressed in the before- mentioned sermon, as follows:—" The religious establishment of our country has been for ages wrought into the connections and habits of the nation. To break its manifold connections with our civil institu- tions in any other way than by the gentle operation of conviction in the minds of its own members, would be venturing npon a dark, and perhaps very perilous course." THE CHURCH or ENGLAND LAY ASSOCIATION.— A meeting of this Association, to which the public were invited by announcement, took place at the Upper Assembly Rooms, on Saturday, on which occa- sion the Rev. Mr. O'SULLIVAN attended; who, in a speech which lasted upwards of two hours, of such eloquence as we cannot attempt to describe, stated the present condition of the Irish Church, and advocated its cause. The large room was filled with company, about 900, and their applause testified not only their feelingsi and judgments to be in unison with the speaker, but the winning influence of his oratory, sometimes occasioning spontaneous bursts of applause, waving of handkerchiefs, < fcc. Mr. SULLIVAN combatted several erroneous opinions which had been propagated relative to the re- venues of the Church, and described the state of the South of Ireland in such terms as to powerfully impress his auditors. If his state- ments be true, the people can hardly be considered in a civilized state, being as deplorably miserable as poverty, ignorance, and superstition can make them, and their passions worked upon to a state so inimical to peace and order, that, as from official documents it was shown, 560 assassinations had been committed ill a period of two years. The Rev. Mr. Tottenham and several other speakers eloquently addressed the meeting. The Bishop presided : who, in speaking of His Majesty's firm attachment to the Church, said he heard him express himself to the effect, that when he forsook the Church may GOD forsake him."— Bath Journal. A vestry meeting was held on Friday the 5th inst., at the Town- hall, Birmingham, to consider of a, proposition for a Church- rate of four- pence in the pound ( about 3,0001.) to effect some urgent repairs, and to meet the current expenses for the year of the different churches and chapels of the town. On several former occasions the application has been resisted and ultimately frustrated, by the influence of the leaders of the late Political Union, the wardens not pressing the matter farther than by taking the opinion of those attending the vestry. In this instance, however, it was resolved to obtain the sense of the rate- payers at large by a poll, and subsequently a determined and open hostility to the proposed rate exhibited itself among every sect and class of Dissenters, the Methodists alone excepted,- who, we believe, with their usual good feeling towards the establishment, "; red in the matter. Congregational and C'BOSSE SCHOLARSHIP.— On Friday last, C. A. Hulbert, of Sidney | college, was elected a scholar on Mr. Crosse's foundation. MISCELLANEOUS. The inhabitants of Simtli Shields have resolved to present a hand- some token of regard to_ the Rev. JAMES CARR, incumbent of St. Hild's Church, for his kind and christian sympathy and unwearied I exertions during the recent visitations of that dreadful disease the 1 cholera at that place. have not as a body interfered D other meetings have been held, subscriptions entered into to sustaiii the opposition, ti general canvass of the town prosecuted, and an I organised committee formed to attend the meeting, and, if possible, defeat the measure. On the other hand a number of the respectable and influential members of the establishment resolved to support the wardens. The Rev. T. Moseley, the Rector of St. Martin, was in the chair. It having been agreed that the question of " rate or no rate" should go fairly to the poll, Mr. R. Spooner moved the rate of I four- pence, and was seconded by Mr. Unett. The speakers in op- "' in were led by the Rev. T. M. M'Donald, the Roman Catholic , who delivered a virulent, invective against the Church of Eng- , concluding with the observation, that " it was evident the days t of the Church were numbered."— Upon a Show of hands the rate wits declared to be negatived, but a poll and scrutiny was demanded ; tlie polling immediately commenced, and was continued until yesterday; when the votes have gotie through a Scrutiny the numbers will ne . - declared- Five or six thousand persons were present.— The effect of man ot the meeting at which the plate w;> s voted, and by < e » era! rtther • tlie scrutiny will be to strike off bad votes, anu W give to each voter of the subscribers, waited npon the Iter.

December 14. STOCK EXCHANGE.— SATURDAY EVENING. The Money Market was very buoyant towards the middle of the week, but there has been some depression during the last two days, 8nd Consols for the Account closed this afternoon at 91 % 92. Ex- chequer Bills are also heavy, leaving off at 36s. 3Ss., and India Bonds are 18s. 20s. Long Annuities are 17. In the Foreign Market, the chief fluctuation continues in Spanish Stock, which has been, within the last day, seriously affected by the conduct of the Spanish Government. It appears that the new Spa- nish Loan has been finally taken by M. Ardouin, but that, after the deduction of commission, charges, & c. not more than 50 will reach the Spanish coffers. But the Cortes Bondholders are, in this matter, very unfairly treated ; for while the interest on the new Loan is to commence in May next, that on the Cortes is deferred to November, a procrastination " by no means considered safe, just, or in accordance with Count Toreno's promises. This has caused Spanish Bonds to fall to 51 & %, at which they closed. There is nothing particular to notice in Portuguese Bonds, which left off heavily at 51 Is %. In the Northern Bonds, Dutch Stock has been in great request, the Five per Cents, having touched 100, and the Two- and- a- Half per Cents. 55%%. The former closed at and the latter at 55X- Russian Stock is 106> f, and Belgian 98^. In the South American Bonds the alteration, we believe, is not worth noticing. In the Share Market the only change of any moment is in Bra- zilian Shares, which have been as high as 381., in consequence of favourable accounts from the Miner - - 1— A ' w: 1 aT1 3 per Cent.

A letter from Bayonne, of the 6th instant, says:—" The latest news from the head- quarters are dated 1st of December. Charles V. was at Lumbier. On all the road by the Ribera, and ascending by the frontiers of Arragon up to Sanguesa and Lumbier the whole popu- lation pressed en masse, though distant from the road more than a league, to see Don Carlos, and expressed in the most heartfelt terms its joy at possessing the person of Don Carlos in their country. The affair of the capture of Villafranca by the royalist troops on the 28th of Nov. i3 fully confirmed. The Christinos defended them- selves valiantly, but they were obliged to yield to the valour of the Carlist soldiers Don Carlos slept a night at Villafranca. On the 5th the Christinos troops at Elisondo made a vigorous sortie from their fortifications to attack the Carlist troops which blockade them, but they were driven back into their fortifications. The Christinos fought well, and lost about 60 men. The Carlists had 20 men killed and wounded. On the same day Zumalacarregui was at Eiigui and Eraso, in the vallev of Ulzama. Accounts from Ceylon are said to have been received of an insur- rection haviDg broken out there, and that several lives had been lost. The Bengal Hurkaru of the 24th July gives some account < sf a dangerous revolt which lately occurred in Gwalior, taken from a private letter of the 12th. Nine or ten regiments, with 400 cannon and 490 cavalry, mutinied, and set the Maharajah's authority at de- fiance ; the Maharajah's other troops, with 100 cannon, backed by our troops on the spot, were brought out against them. The Ma- harajah went out and pitched his tents, when the ring- leaders came over to beg their lives. Gwailor has been spared for a time, but the country is represented to be in a very distracted state. A Court of Common Council was held on Friday, when His Majesty's answer to the recent impertinent address of the Radical members of the Court having been read, it was moved by Mr. Ashurst, and seconded by Mr. Stevens, " That his Majesty's answer be entered on the" minutes of this Court," to which an amendment was moved by Mr. Figgins, and seconded by Mr. Dixon, " That his Majesty's ' most gracious' answer be entered on the minutes of this Court.''— After a stormy discussion, in which Mr. Galloway and others used the most disrespectful language in regard to the Sovereign, and grossly insulted the Lord Mayor for his attempts to suppress their seditious observations, the amendment was carried by a majority of 8. What must be the effect of the new Poor Law, if attempted to be enforced, especially in country parishes, is fast becoming palpable beyond the possibility of question. A representation has been made to " the Commissioners respecting some paupers in Bledlow parish, and a scene has occurred at Devizes petty sessions, which picture such sufferings by paupers, through the operation of the new law, that inhumanity itself would shrink from enforcing it. A requisition, signed by upwards of three hundred voters of Ro- chester, has been sent to ' Lord Charles Wellesley, soliciting him to offer himself for that city.
