TO THE GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, FREEHOLDERS, AND OTHER ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF NORNHAMPTON. Gentlemen, WORDS are inadequate to express my sense of the honour you have just done me in returning me to Parliament as one of your Repre- sentatives. This mark of your confidence, in itself an object of just pride, is rendered still more gratifying by the unanimity and enthusiasm with which it was conferred. The demonstration of to- day was indeed most flattering, though of course I regard it less as a personal compliment to myself, than as an emphatic expression of your attachment to tho « e loyal and constitutional principles which a vast majority of you venerate in like manner with myself— principles which have so signally triumphed at the present important crisis" in my return conjointly with Mr. Cartwright. Accept my warmest thanks. Be assured I shall not only do my utmost in Par- liament to advance the general prosperity of the empire, but that it will be my pleasure as well as my duty to watch over " your rights, protect your local interests, and promote your individual welfare. Believe me to be, Gentlemen, your very obedient, rtd obliged servant, Fawsley, Saturday Night, Jan. 10,1835. CgARLES KMGHTLEY. TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF PETERBORO'. Gentlemen, THE great contest in which you have recently been engaged is now suspended until another Election shall take place; but although you have failed in obtaining the ultimate object you have in view, yet even the present result may be deemed a victory rather than a defeat, when you take into consi- deration the circumstances of the case. For a space of upwards of sixty years a third Candidate has never dared to pre- sent himself in opposition to the " two Nominees of Earl Fitzwilliam, the patron of your Borough ; and when I was called upon on Monday last at an hour's notice to take so bold a step, I was at that time one hundred miles distant from your City, and personally unknown to every inhabitant. When, on the following day, the nomination took place, the show of hands was'in mv favour. I commenced my canvass on the day of nomination; the other Candid ites had previously canvassed you, and had been ( one especially) many years your Representatives. We were' opposed by a coalition, and defeated, mainly by the transfer of Mr. Fazalcerley's split votes to Sir R. Heron. Not- THEATRES— COVENT GARDEN, DRURY LANE, AND ADELPHI.— W.

RINGING and the PIANOFORTE.— Mr. JOSEPH DE PINNA ( Composer of that fairy- like Music, " Gaily chant the summer birds," < l When rosy daylight flies," & c., & c.) begs to announce his recent removal to No. 164, ALBANY- STREET, REGENT'S- PARK, where he continues to give Instruction in the above branches of education and accomplishment.— A long ex- perience in qualifying Vocalists and Pianists for the Stage, the Concert- room, and as Teachers, and in instructing Amateurs, enables Mr. De Pinna, by adapting his system of tuition in each instance to the particular views of his Pupils, to insure their progressive and permanent improvement.

On no one work published during the last century, have we such a record of the uniformity of criticism as is here presented in the instance of the " Music Book of Beauty." This publication has now been favourably reviewed in upwards of one hundred Newspapers; many of them old and distinguished Chroniclers of the beauties of Literature and the Fine Arts; and there is scarcely a Song in the collection but what has been introduced with distinguished success at the No- bility's concerts.

Clive, 19, Henrietta- street, Cavendish- square, London. which 89 were lumpers', out of the 5S7 electors who voted upon this occasion ; whereas my oppB^ its polled only 37 " plumpers between them. Nothing could exceed the intimMition made use of to prevent my eh.- ction, of which we have ample proofs; and some who could not be worked upon by these means were told, in the presence of witnesses, they were " marked men.'* A survey of the Poll- Book ( now in the Press), will confirm my assertion, that the major part of the votes given to Sir R. Heron and Mr. Fazakerley, were from electors who hold the property for which they voted, as tenants at will of Earl Fitz william. I cannot conclude without availing myself gf this opportunity to acknowledge, with feelings of the deepest gratitude, the very kind and flattering reception with which I was greeted by every person in the Borough,' from the highest to the lowest. Allow me more particularly to express my very sincere thanks to the 280 firm and zealous friends who did me the honour to vote for me. I earnestly entreat them to persevere in the good cause they have undertaken, namely, the establishment of that freedom of election, to which they are entitled under the Reform Bill, and which hitherto has been a dead letter within their Borough ; sooner or later their efforts must succeed; and I can only repeat what I stated to you from the hustings, that should you on the next, or on any future occasion, consider my services desirable to promote this great end, it will be both my greatest pleasure and pride to respond to your call. I be £ to subscribe myself, Gentlemen, Your sincere Friend and faithful Servant, Harden Grange, Jan. 12, 1835. WALKER FERRAND.

PHOT EST ANT ASSOCIATION for " the REVIVAL of APOSTOLICAL CHRISTIANITY.— They may have wronged the Divine benevolence : they may have been mistaken in the person of Christ; But, whether ( unless we torture their writings) they believed in the divinity of the Son of God, and in the atonement wrought by his blood for the sins of mankind? one might as well ask whether they did not believe in " the God of our Lord Jesus Christ," or whether they ever wrote— spoke— thought— or dreamt of such a cliimoera as Trinity in Unity.

BULWER'S PELHAM, < fcc.— Among the most attractive literary novelties of the new year are, 1. the cheap and beautifully illustrated . edition of Mr. Bulwer's first and most celebrated work, Pelham, or the Adventures of a Gentleman, with the new introduction, notes, and portrait of the author, forming the commencement of the new and revised edition of Colburn's Modern Novelists, to be continued monthly on the same plan as the Waverley Novels, ( 5s. per vol. fcound) the illustrations under the superintendence of the Messrs. linden.— 2. The first part of the new and cheaper edition of Sir Jonah Barrington's Memoirs of Ireland and the Union, to be com- pleted in six monthly parts, at the price of 8s. per part, and to contain the whole forty portraits or other illustrations of the original expensive publication. Considering the extreme importance of the subject, and the numerous persons deeply interested in the welfare of Ireland, it is presumed that the cheap republication of Sir Jonah's valuable work will he highly acceptable to the public in general and to the various libraries.— 3. The 8th part of Mr. Burke's History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland, completing the 2nd - volume, with the Armorial Bearings, portrait of E. J. Littleton, Esq., ifcc. The mass of authentic intelligence communicated in this - work as to the property, connexions, interest, public services, or other characteristics belonging to those of our gentry eligible to serve in Parliament, cannot fail to invest it with a peculiar interest at the present moment.— These works are published for H. Colburn, by R. Bentley. Agents for Scotland, Messrs. Bell and Bradfute, Edinburgh— for Ireland, Mr. J. Cumming, Dublin. THE MAYOR OF WING- OAF, BY THE O'HARA FAMILY.— This last production of the graphic pen of Mr. Banim excels, in our opinion, all his former Tales, delightful as they were. In these, Ireland, with her eccentric yet noble sons and daughters, are presented to the - world in all their vigour of truth, combined with the delicacy of the lighest finish of portraiture. Alternately we laugh and admire, and • wonder and wit, in turn, strives to make a conquest of the delighted reader. If we do not greatly deceive ourselves, these Tales will have an unprecedented run. DRURY LANE THEATRE.— A new piece— another importation from the French— entitled The King's Seal, was produced on Satur- day. It is founded on an incident in the life of Henri Quatre, who is made acquainted with an intrigue of the Marchioness Be Verneuil and her brother, Count d'Auvergne, to obtain the crown of France by the marriage of the former with the King. The piece is by no means deficient of incident, and the dialogue at times is smart and pointed. Its announcement for repetition was received^ wilh con- siderable applause.— A circumstance occurred during this perform- ance, which deserves to be recorded as showing the strong Conservative feeling of the audience. W. Farren had to say, speaking of Henri Quatre, " Confusion to those discontented men who vex the honest heart of the King, and repay with ingratitude a Monarch who has only reigned to promote the liberties and happi- ness of his people." Tremendous applause followed the delivery of these words, which was renewed with vehemence when a few I> estruetives in the pit and galleries hissed. Mr. Planche's little interlude of Reflection, at Drury Lane, is about to be succeeded by another new petite peice de theatre, called The King's / Ford, which will be pronuced on Tuesday evening next. Lanza's new opera at Govent Garden bears the title, it is said, of The F'eiled Prophet, but no period at present appears to have been fixed for bringing it out. The cause ol the substitution of Der Frei- schutz, at CoventGarden, the evening before last, for the opera of La JSonnambula, is understood to have been the indisposition of Miss E. Homer, who was to have personated the heroine. King Arthur and his Knights continue to attract very full audiences, and will, doubt- Jess, prove a seasonable relief to the treasury. SADLER'S WELLS.— A new drama, under the title of The Raven's Ifest, or the Bride of the Lrrave, drew a crowded audience to this louse on Tuesday. It is a tolerably well arranged medley of comic and serious scenes— the latter well supported by Messrs. Campbell and Johnson, and Mrs. Wilkinson; and the former equally so, by Williams and Rogers. Some pains have been bestowed upon the production ofthis drama, which will probably experience an extended career. A new romantic drama, called The Idiot Queen, is an- nounced for a first representation to- morrow evening. MISCELLANEOUS.— A young man, the son of Mr. Hammond, pro- poser of Mr. Angerstein, for Greenwich, was on Saturday on the hust- ings in apparent good health and spirits; on Sunday he was a corpse; the cause'of his death attributed to rupture of a blood vessel in the lead, produced by great excitement of the contest.— Orders were Issued on Saturday at various metropolitan station- houses for appre- hension of Inspector Niblett, late of P. division for horse stealing; le was discharged some time since for taking the constables' pay.— ' Two murders were committed in the public streets of Thurles, on Saturday last, between three and four o'clock, by individuals who are known, and one of them is now in custody fully charged; the • other, after slaying his victim, went deliberately through the streets, and by the police barrack, and has not since been heard of.— Within the last few days several fires, which there is every reason to believe are the aets of incendiaries, have taken place in Kent. Liberal rewards are offered for the discovery of the offenders. The destruction of property has been very considerable, and within the last six days only, is estimated at from 8,0001. to 10,0001.— Another and a double suicide has occurred in France. On Tuesday last two lovers, one of whom had left the conjugal, the other the paternal abode, and who lad sought an asylum in the Rue des Uecollets, at Versailes, were found dead from suffocation by charcoal. They were interred in the same grave. Friday afternoon, a pretty full attendance of merchants and others connected with the East India and China trade took place at Lloyd's Coffee- house, in consequence of the declaration for sale of the Fan- sittart, of 1311 tons, built at Calcutta for the service of the East India Company, in which she has performed ten voyages. The vessel was stated to be one of the finest ships in the service, and her armament of guns complete, and being in excellent condition for the East India and China trade. It was stated that the vessel had cost 120,0001., but she was put up at 9,0001., beyond which there was not a single lidding, and the vessel was in consequence withdrawn. EXTRAORDINAYY SHOT.— Last week a man named Singer, having paddled up to a large flock of plovers in Chichester harbour, brought lis swivel gun to bear upon them with such effect as to bring down » o less . than 176.

His Majesty has most graciously been pleased to confer on Lieut.- Colonel Stested, commanding the " King's Own Light Dragoons, now employed on the King's duty at Hounslow, the third class of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order. MONUMENT TO WOLFE AND MONTCALM.— We are happy in being able to announce to the friends of the Earl of Dalhousie, the com- pletion of the monument erected to Wolfe and Montcalm at Quebec, under the patronage of his Lordship, and aided by his liberality to so large an amount. The inscription on the surbase has been affixed for some weeks, and on Thursday last the inscription, written by Dr. Fisher, for which the prize medal was adjudged by the Committee, was placed upon the sarcophagus, fronting to the basin. It is cut in what are termed block letters on a very hard slah of marhle. The scaffolding has been removed, and this beautiful monument is now seen to the best advantage, the white marble slabs bearing the in- scriptions, giving an air of lightness to the whole obelisk. The names " Wolf" and " Montcalm" have also been placed on the sides of the sarcophagus in bold relief.— Quebec Mercury. The following article, which we extract from the Augsburgh Gazette, will be hailed with infinite satisfaction by the country at large as an evidence of the confidence of foreign Powers in the present Administration:— VIENNA, Dec. 31.— An English courier, who passed through this city a few days ago, on his way from London to Constantinople, delivered despatches at the Legation here, from which it appeared that the English Parliament was to be immediately dissolved, and that the Ministry confidently expected a majority in the new Parliament. On this supposition proving true, the Peel Administra- tion would gain a firm footing, and the policy of Europe at length lose the swerving character which has hitherto distinguished it. The foreign relations of England would be more firmly established, and, as in former times, exercise the greatest influence on the events of the world. Nobody can deny that the moral influence of England had considerably declined under the late management, and that the question was hardly ever heard, " What will be said of it in London ?" For, though all the acts of Lord Grey, and afterwards of Lord Mel- bourne, were expressly calculated for the preservation of peace, yet Lord Palmerston wanted either the talents or the good- will to conform to the views of those statesmen. He was continually going from one extreme to the other; so that the other Cabinets always felt them- selves impeded, notwithstanding their sincere good will, in clearing away the manifold difficulties, and were never able to come to the solution of the greatest of all the European questions, the general reduction of the military force. It is hoped that this question may now be solved, and that all the Governments may be enabled to diminish the standing armies in order to lighten the burdens of the people, and to restore to the State the industrious hands of which it has been deprived for so many years. If Sir R. Peel and his col- leagues should not be able to effect anything besides co- operating on this point they will render a greater service to Europe, and confer on England greater advantages, than all the experiments of the Whigs to preserve peace in a state of war could attain. It is the actual precarious state of Europe in particular which is_ so injurious to trade and industry, and impairs confidence, which is the soul of commerce. Who, then, can be a greater gainer than England if the ancient confidence is restored, and commercial enterprise becomes more active? " How many will sit at whist all night, playing shilling or half- crown points ; it is a fascinating and interesting game, but nothing is more prejudicial to health than these long sittings. I attribute shattered nerves and general debility to the morning club and evening rubber: I was obliged to discontinue the amusements, and after consulting half the medical men in London, I tried Harvey's Restorative Cordial of the Society for the Restoration of Health, 90, Charlotte- street, Rathbone- place, which set me on my legs again, and enabled me to undergo the fatigue of wjiting these pages."— Extract from ' Short tVhist,' by Major A""". MR. BULWER'S PELHAM.— To the new and cheap edition of this work, which forms the commencement of the revised and illustrated collection of Colburn's Modern Novelists, is prefixed an interesting preface, in which the accomplished author gives an account of his earliest efforts in public writing, and particularly in the production of Pelham; and also an unpublished tale, or sketch, with a different destination of the hero, and a different view of the effects of society, and even pleasure, upon the human mind— upon which tale the novel was constructed. These literary illustrations, combined with the pictorial ones, add a charm and value to this edition, of which it is impossible to speak too highly. COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE, SYDNEY, MARCH 4th, 1834.— The Governor directs it to be notified, that a despatch has been received at this office, from Captain Foster Fyans, of the 4th or King's Own Regiment, Acting Commandant of Norfolk Island, dated 16th February, reporting that a mutiny had broken out in that island on the morning of the 15th of January last, in which about 150 convicts, comprising the gaol gang, capital respitesand others, were concerned ; but which was soon quelled, with the loss of five convicts killed, six wounded, and two soldiers wounded.— In addition to these numbers, a soldier and aconstable were unfortunately shot by a military party, who were out in pursuit of certain convicts that had taken to the bush, and who unhappily mistook them for the runaways of whom they were in search. In the Court of King's Bench, on Thursday, the Attorney- Gene- ral moved for a trial at bar in a criminal information against the Sheriff of Chester, fer refusing to execute the sentence of the law on Garside and Moslev. After some discussion, in which the Judges appeared to he of opinion that no advantage would arise from pressing the ease in the present term, the Attorney- General said he would consider the matter, and mention the case again to the Court. EAST INDIES. By the Royal George we have received a file of the Calcutta Courier. Some reports had been current of disturbances brewing in Mysore, and the 35th and 48th Regiments N. I., who had marched to their destination, had been halted in consequence. Among other changes in commerce incident to the abolition of the Company ' s trade is the cessation of a restriction on the export of saltpetre to China. The order to waive the further issue of licenses, and to allow the unrestricted export of saltpetre to China, had been received. The attention of Government was drawn to the inconsistency of sub- jecting shippers to the controul of a Committee which had ceased to exist, and the anomaly was immediately removed. The peace of th © district of Vizagapatam had been again disturbed in the south- east quarter by the re- appearance of a noted rebel, named Parkerow, who was at the head of 600 followers. Four companies under Major Tolson had marched against him, and he had not, as in former attempts been joined by any of the villagers. These papers contain further accounts of the violation of the British territory, and the subsequent massacre at Rowshowra, by the Oude troops. The number of bodies found dead in the place of slaughter was upwards of 180, and 17 wounded were picked up. In one house alone 15 of the unfortunate Jug Mohun Singh's men were butchered in cold blood. Many bodies had also been thrown into the river before the arrival of the Civil power. These papers contain advices from China, stating that the Commanding Officer, Tetuh, had returned from Leenehow, having surpressed the insurrection of the mountaineers. It appears that many high native officials had been dismissed by the Bombay authorities for bribery and corruption. 1 he constantly increasing proofs of the untrustworthiness of the Brahmins for employment had become matter for deep reflection to the warmest advocates for native elevation. An epidemic had been raging among the cattle at Mercara, by which it was estimated that 600 had perished. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATES.— Louis Philippe has replied to General Jackson's Message. The Moniteur of Wednesday contains in its official part, the following most important intelligence:— " The King has recalled M. Serrurier, his Minister at Washington. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has communicated this resolution to the Minister of the United States St Paris ; at the same time in- forming him that the passports, of which, ill consequence of this communication, he might stand in need, are at his disposition. " In execution of the engagements entered into by France, the project of law relative to the American claim will be presented to- morrow to the Chamber of Deputies. A clause will be added des- tined to guarantee eventually those French interests which may be compromised." This is the article of the Moniteur. Mr. Livingstone forthwith demanded his passports. He will proceed with his embassy to Lon- don, and will there wait the result of the discussions in the Chambers, both of France and the United States. He is disposed to look on the matter as most grave, and as not likely to be soon decided. The decision which has been taken by the French Government has been so taken in consequence, not of the Speech of the President of the United States, but of despatches handed on Monday last by the American Minister to the Secretary of Foreign Affairs of that country. Along and agitated council ensued. M. Thiers insisted on the necessity of meeting the threatening language of the Presi- dent of the United States by the recall of the French Ambassador at Washington. This was strongly opposedfor a long time; but on M. Thiers threatening to retire provided the measure was not adopted, it was resolved that the adoption should take place; and the article was published in the Moniteur. SPAIN.— The Queen's Generals and the Bayonne telegraph are again proved to have wilfully misrepresented the result of . another conflict with the Spanish northern Royalists. By an official despatch from Zumalacarregui, dated Villa Real, 4th inst., it appears that on the 2d,^ 3d, and 4th inst. the combined forces of Caratala, Jaureguy, Quintana, and Iriarte were driven back with loss by the Carlist cheiftain, who was wounded on the 3d and had his horse shot under him on the 4th. On the 6th 3,000 men con- voying a supply of money and cattle from Elisondo_ to Pampeluna, are stated to have been attacked and compelled to retire to the French territory. On the 4th Don Carlos was at Huici, and the Junta at Lavayan. The following extracts from the intercepted despatches of Espartero to General Mina, are anything but encouraging to the cause of the Queen Regent:— " My division is reduced to a skeleton, as the actions are succes- sive. I have killed and wounded, yet no one to replace them. The factious have in this province more than 7,000 men, and I have not more than 2,200 disposable, as Iriarte, who from interested motives joined me with 1,000 men, has proceeded to Balmaseda and the frontiers of Castile. Believe me, General, 1 cannot operate unless I am instantly reinforced. True it is that I consider my little column as invincible, but it is not invulnerable, and daily I see its numbers diminish, whereas the enemy increases in forces, resources, and audacity. " On the other hand it would seem that the Government are determined to drive me to despair. This, in fact, they have already done, for in this province there are many authorities, and they all command, excepting the one who is improperly called ' Captain- General.' I have tendered my resignation through Ozma, and I request you to repeat it immediately, for I can bear this no longer. 1 have not a farthing, the troops naked and unpaid. The hospitals are full of sick and wounded, without beds or food. In short, I am in want of everything, and although I could obtain some resources my hands are tied. I scarcely know what I write. I should like to see you even if it were only for half an hour." The Quotidienne Paris paper of the 13th contains the following accurate list of the changes in the various representations already decided in this country :— Finstbury— Wakley in place of Spankie ; Yarmouth— Bering for Praed, Anson for Burnbold; Salisboug— Wjnd- ham for Bowrie ; Scarboroirgh— Franch for Cayley; Grenwich— Augontine forDundasj; Bucon— Morgou for Watkins ; H igan— Kears- ley for Fhiekness; Oxford— Malcon for Langstone; Shuwrbury— Pelhem for Slaney ; Droihoch— Barbany for Foley ; Berwick— Brad- shau for Blake. The Glasgow Courier announces, from authority, that the Embassy from the King of the NETHERLANDS is about to be placed on its former footing at our Court. In Holland a strong hope is entertained that, under the mediation of the present Ministers, the differences with Belgium will be at length satisfactorily adjusted; and, conse- quently, the tone of all our advices from Holland are much less warlike. The Dutch may well entertain such a hope ; for we Know the essential difference of character betwixt the hero of a hundred battles and the putative father of a hundred empty protocols, which signified nothing. MADRIGAL SOCIETY.— This Society held its anniversary meeting at the Freemasons' Hall on Thursday last, Sir John Rogers, Presi- dent, surrounded by about 150 professors and amateurs of music. Sir John is a most liberal patron of music, and also a scientific amateur: to him this Society is indebted for its great success m promoting and cultivating the love of this style cf music ; and proud we are to say that Englishmen in the 16th " and 17tli centuries were prominent characters in this class of composition. Counter- point, Weelkes, Ward, Benet, Foorde, and Wilbye produced some of the finest Madrigals of that period. In the Church style, Orlando, Gibbons, Tye, Tallis, and Bird were also great writers. Purcell too was a genius of the first order. To these we are indebted for the foun- dation of true and substantial harmony. It was a great treat to see so many amateurs joining heart and voice in the rich and profound strains of these old masters. Most of the professional vocalists in town were present at this meeting, and the Madrigals were most admirably performed and rapturously applauded. January 19. j o h n b u l l. 15 MEMBERS RETURNED.

THE DISSENTERS AND SIR R. PEEL. A fortnight ago we published a series of absurd resolutions adopted at a meeting of Dissenters at Birmingham, upon the subject of Sir R. PEEL'S Address to the Electors of Tamworth, together with the Right Hon. Baronet's reply. We learn from the Dublin Warder, that an immense meeting— numbering little short of a thousand per- sons— was held on Wednesday at Ebenezer Chapel, D'Olier- street, the Rev. J. B. M'CREA in the chair, at which the following resolu- tions were passed unanimously " Resolved— That we have heard, with the deepest sorrow, the Resolutions passed by a few persons called deputies, at Ebenezer Chapel, Birmingham, in reference to the Address of the Right Hon. Sir ROBERT PEEL to the Electors of Tamworth; forasmuch as we conceive that on matters merely secular, Christians ought not to array themselves in open hostility to the higher authorities ( Rom. xiii., I)— that it is contrary to the usages of society, and the precepts of Scripture, to employ to rulers language studiously offensive ( Rom. xiii., 7)— that the candid promises of Statesmen claim a fair trial ( 1 Cor. xiii., 7)— and that the rejection of a le^ al privilege merely from a suspicion of the reluctance with which the King's . Ministers may concede it, were a demonstration of most uneodly contempt for the sovereign dispensations of Divine Providence ( Proverbs, xxi., 1.) " Resolved— That we feel it our duty to express, in the most em- phatic manner, our dissent from the Resolutions above referred to : and our conviction, that they are repugnant to the feelings of orthodox non- conformists throughout the empire. " Resolved— That whilst we cannot but review with great regret the measure of 1829, which virtually placed the Protestant Institu- tions of Ireland, and the general liberties of the Irish people, in the hands of a confederation hostile to Scriptural truth and rational free- dom— we yet regard thi\ t measure as a demonstration that his Majesty's present Ministers are not the " inveterate Tories" the Birmingham deputies invidiously represent them to be; and we are not surprised that the pernicious operation of an act, which it was expected would conciliate a turbulent faction, should induce a dread of too sudden and extensive a concession to others who manifest a similar spirit. " Resolved— That whilst we are desirous to see the internal and financial economy of the Established Church greatly reformed, we do not wish that her proper revenues should be confiscated, or her efficient administrations curtailed; much less would we contribute to the inevitable issue of her extinction— the ascendancy of Popery in Ireland, and the recurrence of all the horrors of the middle ages, in ignorance, superstition, and cruelty. " Resolved— That we confidently look to his Majesty's Ministers for a retractation or modification of the Act by which Roman Catho- lics were admitted to the imperial Parliament; for the reconstitution, on Protestant principles, of the Board of National Education in Ireland, and the restoration of the Foundling Hospital in Dublin ; and for the total suppression of all Monastic institutions in this country. We do not, however, insist upon these or any other measures with a spirit of factious impatience; but rather submit to the wise deliberations of those who constitute his Majesty's counsel, and who are pledged to salutary reform. Resolved— That the'Rev. Mr. M'CREA be requested to communicate these our sentiments to the Right Hon. Sir ROBERT PEEL, at the same time thanking him, in the name of this Meeting, for the magna- nimous tone of his reply to the correspondence of the soi disant deputies at Birmingham, and for his statesman- like declarations of projected relief to the Dissenters of the empire."

Some of the New York papers have published the report of the Secretary of the Treasury on the state of the finances. It appears by it that the revenue and expenditure during the last three years were as follows:— Revenue.

It is estimated that of former appropriations there will remain unexpended at the close of this year the sum of dolls. 8,002,925 13. A report has been current in the salons of the French metropolis, that a matrimonial alliance was in contemplation of the ESTERHAZY and TALLEYRAND families, by the betrothing of Mademoiselle de PERIGORD, only daughter of the Duchess de Dixo, and Prince NICHOLAS ESTERHAZY, heir apparent of the Ambassador, who is now in his eighteenth year. Mademoiselle is only fourteen. According to the Augsburgh Gazette's advices from Berlin of the 2d, well- informed persons believe that some secret stipulations had been entered into between Louis PHILIPPE and the Duke of LEUCH- TENBERG, and it was thought that an intervention of France in favour of the Queen of SPAIN would be the signal for an intervention of Russia in Turkey and Persia. According to the last accounts from Alexandria the barrage of the Nile is going on with the greatest activity. Upwards of 12,000 labourers are at work upon the two branches of Damietta and Rosetta, and the number will be further increased. Thus will be accomplished on this land of antiquity one of the most colossal under- takings ever attempted by human industry, and from which the prosperity of Egypt will become unbounded, by mastering the father of rivers, and regulating its inundations. This great work will be completed by the projected iron rail- road from Cairo to Suez. SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES.— The Governor of Georgia, in his message to the Legislature, states that the aggregate amount of the sales of negroes belonging to the State is from 118,000 to 148,000 dollars. The Message of the President of the United States breathes a very hostile spirit towards France, and even threatens war, in consequence of the non- fulfilment of the treaty for paying a million sterling to indemnify the Americans for losses sustained during the operation of the Berlin and Milan decrees. The American National Debt is entirely liquidated. The Editor of the Tribune newspaper was, on Saturday last, con- demned by the Cour d'Assizes to six months' imprisonment, and a fine of 2,000 francs, for publishing an article, translated from a Lon- don Evening Paper, which reflected severely on the KING.

AN UNREASONABLE EXPECTATION.— At Union- Hall Police- office, ELIZA BRAY attended on the behalf of ber husband, a chimney- sweep, who was summoned for employing his son, a lad, under 12 years of age, at his trade. The boy's mother endeavoured to make out that he was above the age required by law, and when she was pressed on this point by the Magistrate, and desired to tell her son's age, she said, " I have been married twenty- three years, and in. that time I've had twenty- two children, and surely, your Worship, you can't expect that my head his like an almanac, to bear in memory the ages of all of them." The case was ordered to stand over to ascertain the age of the boy.

N ( tor Ha' C ouinry) is published aI Toree ' clock in the afternoon, containing the Markets and Latest News. ~ Jou M B ULL. LONDON, JANUARY 18. THEIR MAJESTIES are in excellent health. The pro- posed husband of the dc far In Queen of PORTUGAL, under the celebrated Quadrupartite Treaty, has arrived in England, and visited Brighton. The accounts from Lisbon must, we should think, render his Highness's prospects particularly agreeable. His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND has re- turned to town from a visit to his Illustrious Relations at Brighton. THE pertinacity in falsehood displayed by the two Opposi- tion Papers, has become matter of joke even amongst their own patrons and party. The resolute determination with which the Chronicle publishes, in the face of the Parlia- mentary Returns, and in the teeth of the avowals and decla- rations of the new Members themselves, a triumphant ma- jority of Reformers over the Conservatives already elected, is really too comical to be resisted. We have elsewhere given a running commentary upon the opinions and predictions of our venerable contemporary, which it must be admitted ( although it manfully sticks to its falsehoods), has consider- ably lowered the tone of confidence in which it foretold the certain return of numerous individuals of its personal ac- quaintance, and the condign expulsion of their opponents. Perhaps] the stories which these writers tell, are founded • upon ignorance ofthe people of whom they write, and a want of comprehension of words and meanings; they mark every Man not an ultra- Conservative with a letter which, consi- dering " Our country is our ship, d'ye see," is a most ominous one to affix to the names of that part of the national crew upon whom they affect to place their depend- ' ence. We suspect, however, that, in the end, we may have cause to admit the justice of the distinction, but for a very different reason from that, which they assign for making it at present: the R will mark, in " the ship's" book, those who Iiave run from the principles attributed to them, and of which they have already seen sufficient, to check them in a career " which must inevitably lead to what, some few of the more des- perate so anxiously desire— Destruction. However, since the statements of the Conservative Press are so impudently denied by these forced levies of Reformers — these denunciations, for we can consider them nothing else, of the Opposition Papers— we beg to submit a list, which speaks lor itself; observing by the way, that amongst these Reformers—( the men with the R against their names)— they class such men as Lord STANLEY, Mr. WALTER LONG, a staunch Conservative, Mr. BURNABY, the Member for Droit- witch, Mr. RUSSELL, the Member for Reading, equally so; and Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR, who came to his election fi'om the chair of Mr. TALMASHE'S committee. In fact, as we have already said, believing it may be, that every Whig will become a Destructive, they take credit for acquisitions which they neither have made, nor will make, by the disso- lution. Having mentioned Lord STANLEY'S name, it may not be amiss in this place to justify ourselves for having repelled the allegation that his Lordship is a Reformer— in the invidious acceptation of the word, and in the view taken by the De- structive party. Sir ROBERT PEEL, as it has been over and over again shown, has been one of the most extensive re- formers of abuses and evils in the most important depart- ments of the State, and will, no doubt, continue the same course for the future; but Sir ROBERT PEEL is not to be marked with an It in the columns of the Chronicle— no more are those men who, professing Whig politics, have yet the virtue and wisdom to uphold the Conservative interest, which is of no party, but as opposed to revolution under the mask of Reform. Lord STANLEY, in his speech to his constituents, says:— " Lord MELBOURNE'S Administration succeeded Earl GKEY'S. I cannot conceal that it did not possess my confidence iu the same degree as that of Earl GREY ; more on this point I shall not say. I shall now refer to what is become matter ofnotoriety— Sir R. PEET'soffer to me to form one of his Majesty's Government. Lpray yourattention that you may be convinced that I acted right oil" this occcasion. It happened soon after the dissolution of Lord MELEOURN E'S Ministry. It would be vanity in me to say that I had not anticipated such offers. I was prepared, therefore, at once to refuse, although Sir JAMES GRAHAM and myself had never seen or corresponded with each other. The communication of Sir R. PEEL was frank, candid, and not tinctured with the least insincerity; but, under all the circum- stances, I felt it proper to decline. You will be anxious to know our future course. SOMEADVISE ACOALITION AGAINST THE MINISTRY. 1 WILL TAKE NO SUCH COURSE. Reformersdo not necessarily take the same views on all subjects. I therefore repeat, that unless by coalescing there is a fair prospect of letter Government, 1 SHALL GIVE THE PRESENT ONE so FACTIOUS OPPOSITION; but, on the contrary, if they propose what appears to me to be good measures, they shall have my support. I shall always endeavour to take care of my own cha- racter. I do think there is a great crisis at hand, although my friend may not. I place no confidence in this or that man, but in the spirit and the power of the times planted by the Reform Bill. The measure of Corporate Reform must be carried in the end. It is but right that the funds of these corporations should be subject to the con- troul of those whose benefit they were intended for. As to Church Reform, I am pretty certain that the livings of the Church ( in the gross) are not enough. They require a more equal distribution. The evils arising from non- residence must be done away with; plura- lities must be abolished; and the income of ourprebendal stalls must be more narrowly examined.—( Cheers.)— There must be a Reform in her discipline also. The superior Clergy must, possess moie influence; must be enabled to contronl the inferior Clergy ; and be enabled to prevent or to remove those scandals, which the present Bishops are unable to accomplish. All reforms in the Church should he so made as to insure the respect of the people. This is the object of all Reform, not destruction. As to final Reform, I pretend not to understand it. In my opinion there can be no end to real reforms except where they tend to produce evident destruction. I have to apologise for detaining you so long. I refer you to my past conduct. No other pledge will I ever give, and I shall reserve to myself the liberty to carry into effect my own views. I cannot, will not, pledge myself to any particular thing till I see the Hill. Such a tiling would be degradation both to you and me. Should any person require any explanation as to any part of my past conduct I amready to afford it." —( Immense cheering and clapping of hands.) This is the speech of a Reformer— but, we repeat, not a Reformer in the sense of the word as used by the Chronicle. Lord STANLEY, although a Whig as well as a Reformer, is not a Destructive, and therefore, as he has honourably stated, icilloffer no factious opposition to the present Ministry. What lias the Government or the Conservative cause lost by his Lordship's return to Parliament ?— Nothing. Then what criterion, we ask, does the brand- mark which the Destructive Press chooses to fix upon his name, afford for an opinion— which it is their object to establish— that the Ministers will be left in a minority of a hundred or two ? None whatever. Let us take two " other individuals who have also been re- turned ; as unlike as possible iu their Parliamentary pro- ceedings to Lord STANLEY— we mean Mr. COBBETT and Mr. FIELDEN. These gentlemen are chronicled in the columns of the solitary Opposition Paper, each with the R to his name. Now hear what Mr. COBBETT himself writes from Oldham on the day of his election :— " Oldham, Jan. 7. " The election over ( half- past eleven o'clock) in an hour and three- quarters in the whole. And anything so well, so sensibly, so every way nicely conducted I never before saw. The Returning Officer, James Lees, Esq., just as polite and amiable- looking young man ascan be imagined. Mr. Fielden was proposed by Mr. Joshua Milne, and seconded by Mr. John Travers. I was proposed by Mr. Alexander Taylor, and seconded by Mr. Hague. Here was sense. We had 110 placards; we had no address ; we asked no man for a vote ; we did not ask the collective body. We had nothing of expense of any sort; even for our own personal entertainment. Here was no nonsense ; 110 flattery; 110 coaxing; no bombast; NOR WAS THERE ANY NONSENSE ABOUT ' STOPPING THE SUPPLIES,' WE TOLD OUR CONSTITUENTS THAT IT WAS THEIR DUTY TO FEEL GRATEFUL TO THE KING FOR WHAT HE HAD DONE, AND THAT IT WOULD BE OUR DUTY TO TAKE CARE TO AVOID EVERYTHING TO THWART HIS SERVANTS, IF THEY APPEARED TO BE DISPOSED TO ACT IN CONFORMITY TO THE GOOD OF HIS PEOPLE ; AND THAT NOTHING, WE WERE RESOLVED, SHOULD INDUCE US TO GIVE OUR COUNTENANCE TO ANY FACTIOUS PROCEEDING HAVING FOR ITS OBJECT TO LESSEN THE CONSTITUTIONAL WEIGHT AND AUTHORITY OF THE KING OR OF THE LORDS. IN ALL WHICH WE HAD THE HEARTY CONCURRENCE OF OVR CONSTITUENTS." Does this declaration deserve the oppiobrium of the Chronicle's R?— does it justify the crowing and chuckling of the Radical writers? It is conceived iu the just and con- stitutional spirit iu which every Member's avowal should at this juncture be made; and what renders it clear that not only the opinions and feelings of the Members themselves are right and true, but that the feelings and opinions of the people are in unison with them, is the fact, of the undisputed and unanimous return of both the candidates who expressed those opinions and avowed those feelings. Without, however, farther scrutinizing the right of the Chronicle to libel the Constitutional Members already re- turned, and giving them R's without any reason, we beg to submit the following list of CONSERVATIVES already elected into the new Parliament, and the names of those Radical Re- formers whom they have supplanted :— PLACE.

The majority being absolutely deducted from the oppo- site party, we need not observe, produces a difference, on a divi- sion, of One Hundred and Forty- four votes— and this list is, of course, exclusive of all the returns of Conservative Members who sat in the last Parliament. Having submitted this state- ment, the facts we have adduced, and the declarations we have quoted, we must say we think the Chronicle and its infirm coadjutors do but whistle against thunder when they boast of their overwhelming majority. Those Members who wish to vindicate their characters, should get the II removed from their names— those who glory in its application, may keep it; never forgetting the waggery of Juliet's nurse, who tells Romeo that " The R is for the dog." JOSEPH HUME is again Member for Middlesex. After A struggle of almost unexampled severity, the worshipper and slave of faction, the abettor of rebellion, and the scoffer at religion, jH/ i- represents, for another Parliament, the senti- ments and the interests of the metropolitan county, with its million and a half of inhabitants. Mourn, to- day, ye Christians!— Rejoice, for a season, ye Jews and Infidels! He who mocks at the mention of the Deity, and insults the GOD of both Jews and Gentiles, by stigma- tizing as " cant" and humbug," all recognition, by a Chris- tian Legislature, of a superintending Providence, owes his ultimate success, it is said, in a great degree, to the gold of the Children of Israel. Lamentableand mischievous as are and must be the imme- diate results of the late contest, and discreditable as the tem- porary defeat of Mr. WOOD is to the constituency at large, a reference, nevertheless, to the circumstances attending it, and a cursory analysis of the votes, in delation to the districts in which the qualifications conferring them are situate, invest it with the character of a great moral triumph ; and afford the most certain grounds of assurance that a decisive and perma- nent victory must attend the efforts of the Conservatives upon the next occasion. Mr. WOOD was young, and untried. Though connected with the county by the closest ties of kindred and property ( his grandfather and great- grandfather having represented it in Parliament) he was little known, as an individual, to the ge- neral body of the constituency. Where he was most known, there he was the most cordially supported. He has acquitted himself nobly throughout; and has, by his high- minded con- duct and excellent judgment on all occasions, " bought golden opinions from all sorts of men." Mark now the relative numerical results of the last and present elections. In 1832, Sir C. FORBES polled only 1494 votes. In 1S35, Sir. Mf « OD has polled 2711. being an increase of 1217. In 1832, Mr. HUME polled 3283 votes. In 1S35, he has only mustered 3102, showing a tailing off of 181. The most important and satisfactory consideration, how- ever, we have yet to mention. In the extensive, wealthy, and intelligent district, embracing the whole of the cities of London and Westminster, the metropolitan boroughs of Finsbury and Marylebone, and the large parishes of Hornsey and Hampstead, Mr. WOOD had a decided majority of votes. This is shewn by a refer- ence to the poll- books at Iving's- cross, where the votes for the above district were taken. In most of the outlying parishes too, Mr. WOOD was suc- cessful. But, at Mile End, in the Tower Ilamlets, Shadwell, Shoreditch, IFapping, and Bethnal- green, Mr. HUME'S lease- holders swarmed like locusts. As an amusing specimen of the practical economy of this pounds- shillings- and- pence Statesman, we have been shewn one of his canvassing cards, the remnant of the old stock of 1S32. These have been prudently preserved, and used upon the present occasion! the date being altered with a pen, the words " in the first Reformed Parliament" struck out, but the more important words, " free of expense," retained. Mr. HUME'S shabby triumph may be attributed to two causes: one, the impudent assertions of his District Com- mittees that Mr. BYNG had coalesced with him; and the other, the pecuniary assistance of his Hebrew Mile- enders, and the absolute necessity which he found there was for bringing up his unwilling voters to the poll " free of ex- pense." We believe that tricks of all sorts were played to secure false votes, and as the Hebrews are not very particular about swearing on the New Testament, and the advocates of an avowed infidel and scoffer are not very particular as to swearing upon anything, no doubt these misrepresentations have suceeeded in many instances, as well as the suffrages of what Mr. HUME'S slang Committees called " Resurrection Men," meaning thereby, living rogues who voted in the nanies and characters of sundry peaceable electors now slurn- beriug in their graves. One thing we are enabled to state with confidence: that Mr. BYNG never authorised or would listen to the suggestion of a coalition with Mr. HUME; and that if that gentleman had been in health, he would personally and publicly have de- clared the fact. The trick was played by his Committees, not unsanctioned, we fear, by gentlemen who should have known better ; but, as far as Mr. BYNG himself is concerned, he is 110 more answerable for HUME'S success, than Mr. BAILLIE is for his defeat at Bristol. Both schemes were the device of the underlings. In Middlesex it has succeeded. One thing at Bristol deserves notice.— Although Mr. BAILLIE was totally ignorant of any design to couple his interests with those of CAM HOBHOUSE, and ignorant even of his intended nomination, the very morning he was pro- posed to the electors his Committee made their appearance in the streets with flags and banners bearing th(| name of BAILLIE and HOBHOUSE, which must have taken a fortnight at least to prepare. In both instances of BYNG and BAILLIE, the principals stand entirely exonerated ; but to the shameful treachery and baseness ofthe adherents in both, are solely attributable the two events which it has been our duty to record. THE returns of yesterday give a clear gain of three more Conservatives : those we have recorded. We never " halloo till we are out of the WOOD;" which, as regards Middlesex in particular, shews our prudence and caution. We therefore do not exult about South Hampshire, the result of which poll will be in London probably before we go to press, but we tear too late to publish to- day. We may, however, mention two facts for the ' satisfaction of the ANTI- DANDY party, that CUPID and the venerable K00 Too ( his Lordship's colieague) are rather behind ; the state of the poll being— FLEMING 1459 COMPTON 1389 CUPID .. 1243 Koo Too 1214 CUPID being in a minority of 21C as regards FLEMING, and of 14G as refers to COMPTON. WE have always preferred facts to arguments— opinions are but opinions, and we are as likely to be wrong as our neigh- bours, and, without much vanity, our neighbours as likely to be wrong as we. Stick we, therefore, to acts rather than words — to doings rather than sayings. We select three instances of the practical advantages derivable from the present system of Administration, and leave them to speak for themselves. As far as the first goes, it may be recollected that some January L8. j o h n b u l l1 21 months ago we took up the subject of smuggling foreign wheat through the British islands. We were ably supported in our observations by our excellent contemporary the Cambridge Chronicle— but no more notice was taken of the crying shame, than was afforded to the five hundred other abuses which the late Government knew of, aud disre- garded. The Cambridge Chronicle of Friday has the following article:— " It will be in the recollection of our readers that, a few weeks ago, we endeavoured to expose the iniquitous system of smuggling foreign wheat through the Channel Islands.— We clearly showed that the late Government did more than connive at this wholesale robbery of the British Farmer, by refusing to put the law in force when injured parties brought the most flagrant causes before their notice. To what extent that system has been carried on during the last few years, no man, except perhaps Mr. POULETT THOMSON, is able to say. The fact of a few offences only having been brought to light would in no case amount to a proof that the practice had not been extensively and injuriously- prevalent; and more particularly so, as the late President of the Board of Trade was very probably trying, as he thought, in a snug way, one of the many ' fructifying* free- trade experiments of which he is known to be greatly enamoured. Thanks to onr patriotic KINO, we have at length got rid of the whole clan of free- trade philosophers a3 rulers of this great commercial nation : and one of the first acts of their successors has been to protect the British Farmer from the injustice inflicted upon him by the wholesale smuggler.— Mr. BARING, the newly appointed President of the Board of Trade, in returning thanks to the free- holders of North Essex for the honour of being elected as their representative, declared in the most positive terms that ' if ever there was a Government friendly to the interests of agriculture, it was the present, not only from the connexion of its members with agricul- ture, but because in truth it was to that quarter it looked for its main supportand protection.' Andasaproof that he did not speak vaguely and at random, we are further assured from his own mouth, that ' his veryfirst act as President of the Board of Trade was to detect an abuse of importing foreign corn without duty through the Isle of Man, and to put a stop to it.' Mr. BARING is a Cabinet Minister, and we have quoted his words ns given by the Standard. If after this, the agri- cultural body should doubt as to the good intentions of the present Government with regard to them, we have no hope whatever of being able to convince them of the fact." So much for our agricultural interests. Let us now look to a recent appointment in the Church, as a proof of the prin- ciple upon which the new Government proposes to afford its patronage. The Morning Herald says, " It appears that the Premier has con- ferred the Living of St. Bride's, vacant by the promotion of Dr. ALLEN to the Episcopal Bench, upon the Rev. Mr. DALE, of St. Matthew's Chapel, Denmark- hill, and formerly morning preacher of the parish of which he has now become the Rector. We notice this preferment particularly, because, from the excellence of the choice thus made, we regard it as a presage of the practical reform of Church patronage as exercised by Government. Mr. DALE was a very effective preacher when he officiated at St. Bride's some years ago, and was also a popular minister in the better sense of that term. The late Ministry, after promoting Dr. ALLEN to the Bishoprick, who, though a Clergyman of good private character, was one of the most inefficient preachers that ever ascended a pulpit, be- stowed the living of St. Bride's upon a beneficed Clergyman at Exeter, who declined to accept the appointment ; before another could be made the Whig Ministers were out, and Sir ROBERT PEEL, as we have stated, has given the living to a Clergyman known to the parishioners — a man without preferment already, and one who, by his talents and his good and pious qualities as a Christian pastor, had previously endeared himself to the flock which he is now appointed to guide."— [ We happen to know, that iu communicating the appointment, Sir ROBERT 1' EEL stated that he had been exceedingly anxious to ascertain the most suitable person for that responsible situation, and the result of his inquiries had convinced him that Mr. DALE was the best qualified.]— Ed. Cambridge Chronicle. So much lor the Church— and, we must be permitted to say, so much in contradistinction to the system of the late eccen- tric CHANCELLOR, in whose " store" were found, upon his expulsion, several presentations to valuable liviugs, ready • filled up and sealed, of which the incumbents are not yet dead. - As to the administration of affairs at the Foreign Office, what says the following :— " The " following authentic statement will refute the malignant sar- casms so bitterly levelled at his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON by the existing faction, and will at once point out how eminently his Grace shines in office though at the present period most onerous, yet lie meets each application with urbanity and attention:— A. mi- litary oi'licer applied many months since to Lord PALMERSTON for information upon a subject connecled with the Foreign Department. It embraced something of moment also connected with that officer's interest. His Lordship never thought proper to reply. Upon his Grace assuming the duties of the Foreign Department the applica- tion was renewed. Mark the result. A gracious and immediate acknowledgment was received, in an autograph letter from the Duke. Three days subsequent a second communication was received, giving a full and satisfactory explanation upon the subject. The circum- stance is genuine, and needs 110 comment." Iii the Naval department, we cannot but cite the conduct of Lord DE GREY, and give the following anecdote:— " We have just now had the satisfaction of hearing , that Earl DE GREY has commenced his career by one of those measures of fairness which, if followed up, will win for his Lordship universal praise, in having most graciously listened to the claims of an old Officer who had nothing but his twenty- six years' service as a Lieutenant, toge- ther with his having been, while First Lieutenant of a sloop of war, wounded iu an actiou with a ship of very superior force, to recom- mend him to the favour ofthe First Lord ofthe Admiralty ; and upon its being shown to his Lordship that this old Officer had been Pro- mised for many years the command of a packet, and which Lord AUCKLAND intended to have given him, Lord DE GREY immediately, without any private influence or interest whatever, at once assured the Officer in question that his solicitation should be remembered by him.'— A'aval ai\ tl Military Gazette." These are all satisfactory to the country. The contrast afforded in all this, to the canting stupidity of the one- part shopkeeper, one- part canter, and one- part dandy POULETT TOMSON, to the pert " fantastico" coxcombry of the passe PALMERSTON, and the yahoo dullness of the plura- list pensioner AUCKLAND, cannot fail to gratify those who, upon principle and experience, are supporting the present Ministry. office ; I went, and saw him with Mr. CHARLES CARTER, Mr. JOHN COPPOCK, and Mr. THOMAS FLIGHT ; I retired with him alone, and he said that he would free me from any incumbrance, whether it was 301., 401., or 501. I said, whatobject have you in this ? He replied, I have a certain number of names to send ( iff to Mr. ROMILLY, and I am anxious your name should appear amongst the list of our sup- porters. I said, Sir, what security do you want if you lend me the money ? He answered, I do not want any security, only I want your word for it. I declined his offer. When Mr. ROMILLY returned to Bridporf, he asked if I would give him one hand ?— that I refused ; he then said, WILL YOU ACCEPT Mr. FLIGHT'S OFFER, AND NOT GO TO THE POLL AT ALL ?—- THIS I ALSO RE- FUSED. This is all that ever took place between us. I have re- ceived no bribe, and he is a scoundrel that says I am a turn- coat; and Mr. NICHOLETTS ought not to let me be so treated, because 1 voted one hand for Mr. WARBURTO. V. JOHN NEWMAN. Leopard Inn, Allington, Jan. 10, 1835. AMONGST the festivities of the present season, we have heard of one distinguished by its singularity. The Vicar of Harrow invited all the old women of his parish 011 Christmas day to a tea party in the open air; each of the said old ladies being required to deposit one shilling. Everything went off with the utmost decorum, but the old ladies were disappointed that each one was not accommodated with a velvet cushion— alfresco entertainments being somewhat chilly at the preseut season. O11 Harrow high hill there lives a grave Vicar Who holds up his hand ' gainst the use of strong liquor, Tho' he claims for himself still the greatest ofmerit By dealing for ever in use of the spirit: " Old women," he cries, " 1 am constantly thinking , That gin is Old Nicky, and him you are drinking; Old women, old women, where are you a going ? You've scores at the ale- house that still are all owing; Repent ye in time, for Old Nicky proposes To light up his candle at each of your noses— To save all your souls, then, pray come unto me And tip me a shilling— I'll give you some tea: The foun'ain of life is a tea- kettle steaming, True grace you shall have— from the spout it is streaming. Shun pudding and beef, and shudder at gin, Nor, under the misleto, countenance, sin— Sit snug on my lawn, nor venture to cry oh ! That Christmas is cold, with a tea- pot sub dio. The tea shall be tuum, the shilling be meum, And cheap at the money is such a TEA Deum." Yours, JACK FROST. IT is known that both the Mr. ROMILLYS, sons of the late Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, who got into the last Parliament under the excitement of the Reform question, have been ejected from their seats. Mr. HORACE TWISS has the distinguished merit of having beaten Mr. JOHN ROMILLY out of Bridport— off his own bat; and the merit of that victory may be, we think, somewhat enhanced by the publication of the following address to the electors by Mr. JOHN NEWMAN, to say nothing of the light it throws upon the pure aud disinterested proceedings of that class of gentlemen who pique themselves upon being Radical Reformers. It is only necessary to observe, that Mr. FLIGHT is the attorney and agent of Mr. JOHN ROMILLY. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF BRIDL'ORT. This is to inform the people of Bridport, that I, JOHN NEWMAN, feel myself most grievously injured in mind by the rascally slanders that are now sent about the town toinjure and defame my character, and that I have put myself to the expense of printing this hand- bill to defend myself from the attacks of iny enemies. They say that I have taken a bribe to vote for Mr. ROMILLY, and that 1 have notwithstanding such bribe voted against Mr. ROMILLY. The facts are these:— Mr. EDWARD GILL FLIGHT called at my house and said he had heard I was involved wijli the Crewkerne Brewery, and asked if I owed 301. to the firm ; I replied that I did not owe more than jliat earn for liquor to all the persons with whom I deal put together. The same night he appointed to meet me at his IT is quite useless, during the present excitement, to at- tempt the discussion of any subject unconnected with the cause of that excitement. This conviction being strong in our minds, we think the best thing we can do is to collect from all quarters information, facts, and statements relative to the Election; upon the results of which, will mainly depend the preservation or overthrow of the Constitution. In a preceding column, we have noticed the deliberate falsehoods of the DESTRUCTIVE newspapers ( there are two) as to the general consequences of the various contests: pro- ceed we now to take somewhat more in detail, the accounts furnished during the week by the ancient Chronicle, aud to submit to our readers a condensed review of the provincial accounts of the glorious re- action which, we at first doubted, then believed, and are now convinced of. We have received several gratifying communications as to the value and effect of our last week's " running commen- tary" upon our venerable contemporary's facts and Re- tellings, which induce us to continue them. '-* Of WINCHESTER and the fruits of Conservative folly in attempting to touch the return of a' MILDMAY—' who ( mark the reason !) has such powerful interest in that .: ity— no doujit could possibly be entertained; however, on iloiA& y, Chromes " own correspondent" ( what an universal influence itpe.>>' sesses) writes:— ' ' WINCHESTER. ( From our own Correspondent.) , •' JAN. 10.— The reports current here, after the- nomination on Thursday, that Mr. Mildinay would be defined, fiat* turned out but too true.' At nine o'clock yesterday morning the pollijur commenced in the County Hall, and was continued till about hs » lf- past, three; when Mr. Mildmay, finding the majority against him sQ great, relin- quished the contest as hopeless.

' -.. We lament with Mr. MILDMAY— because, as-' thfc Chronif suspect file ineligibility of the said Edward S. Ruthven, be altogether thrown away.' This, as the Recorder said, was a mere matter of legal form, preparatory to further proceedings to be taken before the Committee of the House, but Mr. Ruthven thought proper to take it up as a personal offence, and to pointedly give the Lord Mayor the lie thereon. His Lordship, on his return from the hustings, as a preliminary step to a satisfactory settlement of the unpleasant a flair, appointed Sir John K. James ( the City Treasurer) his locum tenens, and having thus laid aside his civic dignity, sent another friend ( Captain Cottingliam, Secretary to the Conservative Society) to demand an apology from Mr. Ruthven. The latter refused to make any apology, explanation, or concession, and referred the matter to his friend, the well- known Ebenezer Jacob, ex- M. l'., who was delighted at the prospect of a fight, and conducted tho matter so admirably that he had the parties on the strand of the North Bull off Dollymount, beyond Clontarfe, at 1100a precisely, ready for action. Three friends a- side only were permitted to be present. Captain Cottingham, in considera- tion of some previous engagement, wished to fix 2 o'clock p. m. as the hour of combat, but Ebenezer would not hear of any such idle delay. ' No, by G—,' he exclaimed, ' if my friend Ruthven is to be shot, the sooner it is done ill the day the better, as we must see about another candidate immediately! G—' s blood, man ! you wouldn't have us lose the election ?' This was an appeal that Captain Cottingham had 110 logic at hand capable of resisting, sobothparties proceeded amicably to the strand, which had just been left dry by the ebb. Here Ebenezer won the toss for his friend, as- sumed the lias, and issued his ultimatum in the decisive tone of an adept. ' Gentlemen,' said he, ' mind me— 1 shall give the word quick, and, by G—, if either of you hang fire an instant, I shall make it a personal matter. " Fire !" ' The shots passed harm- lessly. Mr. Perrin's pistol was a hair trigger affair ( ot which, 1 be- lieve, he was not aware), and went off at the first touch, before he had well raised it at the startling summons of Ebenezer. The ball entered the sand at a short distance from his own feet. Cap- tain Cottingham then demanded an apology, but Ebenezer pe- remptorily refused to listen to ' any such nonsense,' and another pair of pistols were discharged with as little effect. Captain Cottingliam again humanely applied for such apology or explanation as one gentleman might give and another receive. But Ebenezer was as immoveable as Sir Lucius ( PTrigger. ' Gentlemen,' said he, ' I'm determined that my friend Ruthven shall stand there to be shot at your man away; but there Ruthven shall stay, at all hazards, till the field is his own.' " Upon the wisdom, the morality, and the friendliness of Mr. JACOB'S conduct, we offer no opinion: there is the fact.— Luckily, Mr. RUTHVEN did not hit his honourable anta- gonist, whose station Mr. RUTHVEN fancied rendered him safe from any demand for personal satisfaction; but, as a specimen of the state of the feelings, conduct, and principles of the Repealers, we think the thing speaks for itself. The Chronicle, from its own correspondent— as, indeed, the communication seems clearly to prove— gives us a most charm- ing account of the Dublin University election, as follows :— The College election took place here yesterday, and a more dis- graceful scene never polluted a " seat of learning." I cannot chara « - terize it in stronger terms of disgust than by stating that it surpassed every former electioneering exhibition within the precincts of the Irish University, in the spirit of gross bigotry which pervaded it— in the vociferation and turbulence— in the display of rancorous party feeling and brutal opposition to the expression of liberal sentiment, which persevered for upwards of four hours to convert the venerable Examination Hall of the Irish alma mater into a downright bear- garden. Messrs. Shaw and Lefroy were ultimately declared duly elected, but I think, illegally. Mr. Berwick, the eloquent and high- minded nephew of the late Mr. Gratlan, was proposed, in an excellent speech, by Mr. Pollock; and a gentleman who was in the. act of seconding his nomination w; is interrupted by the Provost on the ground of securities for the expenses of erecting a hustings not having been entered into. Several gentlemen subsequently offered themselves as securities, but the Provost persevered in directing the return of the two Conservatives. The Chronicle's own correspondent here informs us that Mr. BERWICK, who is " Me eloquent and high- minded nephew of the late Mr. GRATTAN, was proposed by Mr. POLLOCK riM'sr^ tM'tM'%' ' Mr. SOMEBODY ( 110 . matter whom).

The only one at which there has been a poll previous to this day, is that of Athlone, where the candidates are J. J. Talbot, Esq., the former Member, and Captain Mathew, a young aspirant for legislatorial honours, who comes forward to oppose Mr. Talbot on the Conservative interest. The election at Athlone commenced yesterday. An Athlone friend has transmitted to me ( together with other particulars) the state of the poll at its close yesterday. It is as follows :— For Talbot and Reform .. .. 30 — Mathew and Toryism .. .. 29 Talbot has thus a majority of one. The contest is likely to be a very close one. My correspondent, however, informs me that the pre- vailing opinion is favourable to the ultimate sticcess of the reform candidate. Mr. Talbot, in his address to the electors, upon being put in nomination, pledged himself " a decided opponent to tithes, and an equally determined opponent of every Tory Government." He adverted to the misunderstanding which had arisen between him and Mr. O'Connell, and stated that he had often, at the risk of his popularity, and of having his meaning misconstrued, voted against Xlim; he would most cordially join with him and support him in any measure which he believed to be right." The result was the return of Captain MATHEW. The Chronicle, however, does not stick at trifles ; for, find- ing its prognostications never realized, it occasionally takes to downright falsehood in order to back them up. Thus, in its Tuesday's number, in the State of Polls " RECEIVED y F, stE RnaY" — from its own correspondent we presume— we find this:— BEDFORD, JAN. 10. Polhill ( T) 490 Whit bread ( R.) 403 Crawley ( R) 383 Two FIRST ELECTED !!! The slight difference in the fact is, that POLHILL was 490, CRAWLEY 403, and the patron of the close borough ( as he fancied it), WHITBREAD, 383. The two first were indeed elected, but the two first were POLHILL and CRAWLEY. We can excuse the blunders of the Chronicle, but we much wonder at such a very paltry attempt at falsification as this, which the official return would betray in a day or two, perhaps an hour or two, after its publication. Of St. Ives, the Chronicle, after having registered in its columns Mr. IIALSE with an R after his name, says ( from its own Correspondent):— Mr. Halse has been returned without having been opposed. He professes to be a Reformer, yet is designated a Tory; and I believe the latter appellation to be the most appropriate: inproof ' qf which he has been marshalling all his forces to support Lord Boscawen in the Western Division of the county, in opposition to that tried friend of the people, Mr. Pendarves. The fact stated by the innocent Chronicle is rather strong against the propriety of the R after his name, if it means Radical Reformer; yet we have not claimed Mr. HALSE as a Conservative. We next proceed to give the Chroniclers notice of a political defeat—('•'• from our own Correspondent?"*) I ! ! HANTS ( NORTH). ( From our own Correspondent.) DEFEAT OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON IN HIS OWN COUNTY ! ! WINCHESTER, Jan. 12.— The election of two Knights to repre- sent the northern division of Hampshire, took place this morning at the County Hall. Mr. Mildmay, late M. P. for Winchester, proposed Mr. Lefevre, whose nomination was seconded by — Blunt, Esq., of Kempshott. Mr. Scott was proposed by G. P. Jervoise, Esq., and seconded by Sir Henry Tichbourne. Mr. Budd, of Burghclere, said the late Members had not done their duty. One had pledged himself to vote for the repeal of the malt- tax, which he did; but, at the beck of the Minister, he voted to put it on again. The other u- as never at his post. He thought they should send men of business into the House, and not any of the squirarchy; and concluded by proposing Mr. John Cobbett, and, calling up'on some one to second the nomination amidst loud shouts and laughter; no one doing so, the Sheriff declared Messrs. Lefevre and Scott duly elected. We confess the triumph of which the Chronicle brags, seems somewhat equivocal. If any opposition had been offered to the two candidates, and they had been successful in the con- test, there might have been a victory and a defeat; but the fact is, nobody meddled with them, and they were " left alone in their glory." And in order to shear their inglorious laurels as close as possible, the Chronicle tells us, that the only gentleman who spoke upon the occasion, gave this description of the Honourable Gentlemen who were returned: that one had broken his pledge to his constituents, and that the other never attended to his duty. With such unanswerable claims to public gratitude, who would think of opposing them ? Of the election in North Wiltshire, the Chronicle's own correspondent says—• JAN. 12.— The election for the north division of this county took place to- day. fVe have returned two Reformers without opposition, Paul Methuen and Walter Long, Esquires. Mr. Long, as you pre- dicted, made a declaration of liberal reforming sentiments on the hustings, which gave general satisfaction to the electors. We have no doubt that Mr. LONG is a reformer, but that he is not what the Chroniclers correspondent means' to infer he is, we most distinctly state. Mr. LONG is as staunch a Conservative as his honourable namesake, who contested one of the divisions of Hampshire at the last election. Of Durham city, where Mr. TREVOR, the Conservative, was triumphantly returned, the Chroniclers own corres- pondent says:— The poll for our city election commenced this morning. At the close for the day, the numbers were as follow:— Trevor ( Tory) 221 Harland ( Whig) 122 Granger ( Liberal) .. .. 98 Upwards of 800 voters on the list, and only 315 yet polled. The success of Harland and Granger is yet deemed secure, notwithstand- ing the forced march which the Dictator's man, by means of the superior organization of the Tory forces, has gained at the begin- ning. The Reformers have, indeed, laid back for the day, on account of some jealousies, occasioned by the highly culpable conduct of some of the old Whigs; but they will rally to- morrow, and yet defeat the Tory candidate. The grossest corruption, drunkenness, and profli- gacy, mark the conduct of the Conservative party; and it is doubly disgusting to see it countenanced and promoted by the dignitaries of our cathedral church. The last descriptive paragraph is equally correct with the preceding prophetic one; and quite as true as the following from the Chronicle1 s own correspondent at Athlone:— BOROUGH OF ATHLONE.— Captain Mathew, the Conservative can- didate, has been returned by a very small majority over Talbot ( R). The election is stated to have been carried by open bribery. REPORTED FATIL DUEL.— It was reported about post- hour, that a duel had been fought between the Knight of Kerry and Maurice O'Connell, in which the former was shot dead. Anybody who knew anything of what had been doing at Athlone, or who knows anything of what is doing in London, would have known that the Knight of Kerry is living at his house in Harley- street, Cavendi'sh- square, attending to his official duties as a Lord of the Admiralty, and has not been in Ireland for a considerable length of time. Upon the triumphant return of Sir JOHN MORDAUNT for South Warwickshire, the Chronicle'J own correspondent makes this naive observation :— All passed off exceedingly well. The general impression ap pears to be, that though we have a Tory, it might have been worse. Ill private life he is greatly respected, and, being young, he may yet become a Reformer— at least in some degree—^ hen he shall have seen enough of Parliamentary business to become experimentally acquainted with " the spirit of the age." Of old bigots we have no hope, but the young may improve. They are more likely to be in- fluenced by the voice of an intelligent people. We quite agree with the Chronicle— it might have been much worse, inasmuch as the Southern Division was, before, represented by two M'higs, one of whom is supplanted by Sir JOHN ; and we quite agree with the Chronicle, that Sir JOHN, by his declaration in favour of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Ministry, has given assurance that he will become a Reformer — in a certain degree. So will all Conservatives. The Destructives clamour for reform in an uncertain degree— and thereiH lies the great distinction between the opposite parties. Of the Dorsetshire election, the Chronicle has the following:— DORCHESTER, JAN. 13.— The election for the county of Dorset took place here to- day; and there being only three candidates proposed, Lord Ashley, tie Hon. W. F. Ponsonby, and C. Stuart, Esq., were duly returned, i The Hon. Members are all closely connected with the Earl of Shaftesbury by marriage and descent, and bear the affinity of cousins. They are of course all Tories. Mr. PONSONBY, who is a brother of Lord DUNCANNON, happens to be ( according to the Chroniclers rule, we suppose of course) a decided IVhig. Speaking of Mr. PELHAM, the Radical candidate, and late Member for North Lincolnshire, the Chroniclers own corres- pondent says, after enumerating the many virtues which he possesses in his eyes, that " He was at the head of the poll last election by many thousands. rr This sounded so very magni- ficent that we were induced to turn to the last poll, and the recorded numbers give the Hon. Gentleman a majority of one thousand five hundred and thirty; a very considerable majority, we admit: but when one comes to talk of " many thousandsrr in a constituency of 9,134, one does expect some- thing more than 1,530. Speaking of the Isle of Wight election, the Chronicle says:— George Henry Ward, Esq., of Northwood Park, the Tory Candi- date, is making the " nee dfui" fly in all directions, and apparently with considerable effect. A gang of ruffians, arrayed in his colours, attempted to prevent Sir Richard Simeon from proceeding to the hustings, ill- used his son, and tore his banner to pieces. So much for Conservatism. IVho are the real Destructives f We will take the liberty of answering that nlost proper and pertinent question by the two following statements, which, as the Chronicle does not publish them, we conclude it has not seen:— HALIFAX. ( From the Halifax Guardian of Saturday.) THE DESTRUCTIVES.— The following is a list, as far as we can ascertain particulars, of the damage done by the mob of the Liberal party on Wednesday evening. All the front windows of the Vicarage were broken, the hall door shattered, and the furniture much damaged by missiles thrown in through the windows. The mob did not enter the house. One of the rioters, when endeavouring to force his way through the pan- nels of the hall door, was repulsed by one of the servants with a poker. The house of Luke Stavelev, Esq., of Spring Field, was next attacked. The windows were all broken. The mob then entered, and demolished the drawing- room furniture, a valuable pier glass, and several other articles. The windows in the house of John Holdsworth, Esq., of Shaw Lodge, were broken, the doors were shattered. The Destructives then entered, and smashed all the furniture they could lay hands on. Not content with this, they broke a number of articles in the garden. Mr. and Mrs. Holdsworth were fortunately absent, and the servants were forced to take refuge in the cellar. The property destroyed here was very valuable. Mr. Holdsworth is a non- elector, resides out of the borough, and had taken no part in the election. All the front windows at Hope House, the residence of Christo- pher Rawson, Esq., were broken. At Jeremiah Rawson's, Esq., Shay, the windows and blinds were broken, a gig was also broken to pieces, together with the iron garden chains. At Saville Hill, the residence of J. E. Norris, Esq., the front windows were broken. The apartments were then entered through the windows, and furniture, musical instruments, pictures, and books destroyed. Several articles were dashed against the pillars until broken. Some silver plate was carried away. The damage done here is estimated at 1,5001. Each act of destruction was accompanied. by yells and imprecations of a frightful description. The following houses in town were also attacked. The White Swan, all the windows broken; the Talbot suffered in like manner; the Britannia, Sun, Mechanics' Arms, King of Prussia, Blucher, Three Pigeons, White Horse, Shakspeare, White Hart, King's Head, and Mr. Atkinson's, at the North Bridge, were subsequently visited. In all, the windows were broken, but in some the mob entered and^ regaled themselves with whatever liquor and provisions they could find. 11 earing that a military force was approaching they then dispersed, and about seven o'clock one troop of the 17th Lancers, under the command of Captain Keans, arrived from Dewsbury, since which time the public tranquillity has been restored. So much for England. Now for Ireland:— ( From the Leinster Express.) The Whitefeet disciples of the agitators continue to give striking proof's of the liberality which they are taught by_ their patriotic leaders. The following letter is from a correspondent in Mountrath :— " On the night of Thursday, a party of sixteen, went to the house of Christopher Young, of Paddock ( about a inile and a quarter from MountrathJ, and took him out of his bed to the kitchen; they asked him to vote for Lalor and Cassidy— he told them that his landlord, Sir Charles Coote, was always very kind to him, and that he was deter- mined to vote for him only. They then knocked him down with their pistols, and inflicted a number of wounds upon him ; after which they raised him, put him on his knees, and wanted him to swear to give Lalor his split voice; upon his refusing, they again knocked him down, and stabbed him in the back, and left ' him for dead. Doctor Smith and Captain Brereton visited him this evening, and took his informations. Young lies in a very dangerous state. " Several other houses were visited last night in the same neigh- bourhood, by parties of armed men." About seven o'clock on the evening of the 2d instant, three men entered the house of Wm. Scully, of Upper Ballyfin, two of them armed with alpeens, and the other with a pistol; they beat Scully and his wife severely, and threw a small child that was screaming into the fire. The child, however, received but little injury, as the fire had not been well kindled. Is the Chronicle satisfied ? We hope it is— at all events, we are for the present satisfied with the Chronicle, and once more take our leave of it. HASTINGS. At the close of the poll Mr. Planta, after returning thanks to his supporters, addressed the electors as follows:— " Gentlemen,— If you will be pleased to look for a moment at the state of the poll, you will see at once the course which the contest has token. You will see that during it, there has been a complete divi- sion of interest among those electors who take their name, as a party, from their avowed determination to support their King, and to up- hold the Constitution of their country, as by law established, in Church and State. I mean what is commonly called the Conserva- tive interest. " Gentlemen, you will easily perceive that if the votes which have been polled on that interesthad been added together and given to one candidate, that candidate would have polled a greater number of votes than have fallen to the share of the candidate who now stands second on the poll. This, gentlemen, is a matter of mere arithmetic, about which there can be no mistake. " While, therefore, gentlemen, I feel that I stand here before you as a beaten candidate, it is still a very great satisfaction to me to know, that the number of those voters for this borough who avowedly support the existing order of things and the sacred institutions of the country, is still greater than that of those who have voted for the can- didate who is higher upou the poll." The facts are these. Mr. Planta and Mr. Brisco both stood upon nearly the same interest, and all the votes they received were Conser- vative. Mr. Planta had 159 votes, Mr. Brisco Vol; total, 310. But from this number we mnst deduct seven votes given to both jointly, which makes tlie number of Conservative votes 309, while Mr. Elphin- stone polled but 241. Had there been but owe Conservative candi- date, he would therefore have been returned— and as Mr. Planta came forward first, he had the prior claim. It is to be regretted that a seat should have been thrown away in such a manner. ( From our men Correspondent!) The following letter— no offence to the Chronicle — really comes from the place which appears as its date:— Jedburgh, January 15,1835. MY DEAR BULL— At the nomination of candidates for the county here, yesterday, Lord JOHN SCOTT and Capt. ELLIOT were proposed. At a window immediately opposite the hustiDgs, and within a dozen yards, sat all the members of the MINTO family— the ignoble Earl himself at the head of them, stretching his head at intervals over the window, and nodding to his mob friends. After the nomination this same stickler for the purity of election walked down the street through the greasy crowd, to the Whig Committee Rooms, with his brother the worth} ex- Admiralty Secretary. His Lordship has cer- tainly, I am told, attended meetings of the Committee. Within the last fortnight, since the canvass commenced, Lord MINTO presided at Hawick ( in this county) at a political dinner given to Mr. DOUGLAS, of Adderstone— the Chairman of one pfhis brother's committees. EAST SURREY ELECTION. On Wednesday last a most gratifying assemblage of electors took place at Croydon, that being the day appointed for the nomination of the candidates for that division. The two former Members, BRIS- COE and BEAUCLERK, and RICHARD ALSAGER, Esq., of Tooting, wero the candidates. The support which Mr. ALSAGER, the Conservative candidate, received, was, without any exaggeration, unprecedented in the annals of this county. Seven days only had elapsed since he had declared himself a candidate, and yet his entry into Croydon wa3 attended by a train of private carriages of more than a mile in length, containing the most influential and respectable families in this Di- vision of the county. The proceedings having been described in several papers, are now generally known, and we only allude to them for the purpose of assisting in the correction of an erroneous impression, which has been created by the decision of the Sheriff as to the show of hands. He declared it to be in favour of BRISCOE and BEAUCLERK, while it was most evident to all those who were so placed as to command a general view, that the hands held up for ALSAGER were considerably more in number than those for either of the other candidates. The Sheriff indeed, said they were so nearly equal, that he had great difficulty in deciding, and one of Mr. ALSAGER'S friends, Mr. PAYN- TER, who could see that the Sheriff was wrong, requested that, as he had a doubt, the show of hands should be repeated— but this was refused. We would rather attribute the decision of the Sheriff to his situation ( which made it impossible to see the hands on his right side and behind him, without turning round, and removing the per- sons in his waggon by whom he was surrounded) than to any unfair and improper partiality. But it is to be lamented that he did not take a more general view, as he would then have avoided what has prejudiced'his character for impartiality with many persons, who are not inclined to take so liberal a view of his conduct as we prefer doing. WE regret to say that the accounts from the West Indies are of the most alarming character— at least as regards Jamaica, which may be considered as embodying all the real importance of our Occidental Colonies. The Jamaica Despatch of November 7th, gives the fol- lowing picture of the state of the Island:— " The accounts by yesterday's post, from every part of the conn- try, may be conveyed in a few words. Our correspondents report ' that our peasantry are quiet, but will not work either for love nor money! We have a fine appearance of a crop for next season; but we are afraid that two- thirds of it will be lost for want of common industry on the part of Our labourers.' The consequences of such a system requires no divination to foresee, and, if persisted in, this beautiful and fertile island willl soon be a dreary waste; worse, perhaps, if possible, than St. Domingo is at this moment, after 40 years of independence. When it is considered that this de plorable state of things has been brought about by a base faction in the mother country, not for the sake of humanity, but for the encouragement of East- India sugar, it is enough to induce us all, in imitation of the patient Job, to lift up our hands and threaten to curse our unnatural Mother Country before we die? The volume of the sacred law informs us that the ' ills' which had been so heaped upon Job, by the author of all evil, were sanctioned by the Supreme Being as a trial of his patience and firm- ness in the faith; and that, having adhered stedfastly, the influence of the wicked one was removed, and Job afterwards prospered greatly in his worldly affairs. Our case is very different— we have suffered in our flocks and herds— our all has been taken from us; while the agents of the evil one are still persevering in their endeavours to inflict further injuries upon our devoted heads ! Let them— we mean the Sectarian preachersand their agents— be removed from amongst us; and we shall in process of time thank the Lord, and eschew evil, as we may also then flourish. But we fearlessly tell the British Government, while tinkers, cobblers, bakers, and other worthless, lazy handicraftsmen are tolerated among us as preachers of the Gospel, that our peasantry will be a ragged, discontented, and disso- lute race. And further, we tell the British Government that the manufactures of London, Liverpool, Sheffield, and Birmingham must find other markets for their goods and merchandise; and also that John Bull's revenue will sink six MILLIONS ANNUALLY, when he has not the means of meeting the loss; and his sailors must seek employ- ment in foreign countries, as the 400,000 tons of shipping now em- ployed in the West India trade will no longer be required; and Great Britain, our once- favourite home, will be deprived of the means of perpetuating her greatness, by her ships, her colonies, and her com- merce : while those of her * natural enemy' are increasing in every part of the world. Oh! England, how saintcraft has bedeviled thee!!" This is melancholy enough ; but we might have hoped that things would mend progressively. We find in the Kingston Paper of the 1st of December, the following:— " The packet which sailed this morning will convey to our friends in Great Britain melancholy tidings on the state of colonial affairs ; and if the accounts transmitted do not entirely dissipate the delu- sions entertained as to the possibility of stimulating labour without proper coercion, then we must suppose the British Ministry, like our Noble Governor, is determined to be blind to the evidence of fact, and to persevere in a partial and left- handed policy, till the valuable agriculture of the British West Indies is totally anni- hilated, and commerce irretrievably lost. Possessions which have long been a source of profit and protection to the parent State, by sup- porting her manufactures and extending her trade— pouring wealth and abundance on her barren shores, and furnishing millions of her po- pulation both with food and luxury, will be wantonly and iniquitously sacrificed to gratify the senseless ravings of a zealot's dream, or to purchase the evanescent influence of power and place! The extreme jeopardy in which every thing we hold most dear is now placed must give us fortitude and firmness to meet the danger ; but whether the requisite assistance will be forthcoming in the hour of need, is a doubt which approaching evils will probably too soon decide.— De- cember I. We have not space for the report of the Committee appointed by the Government in tlm colony, but we must say, January 338. j o h n b u l l. 15 it admits everything here stated, and in terms most unequi- vocal and alarming. The ingenious Morning Chronicle, in its zeal for its R's, has on Thursday, the following bit of intelligence :— SOUTHWANK LITERARY INSTITUTION.— The annual meeting ofthe members of this literary society was held at the Institution, Bridge- house- place, Newington, for the purpose of electing a President for the year ensuing. This society was established in 1832, and under the active exertions of the founder, J. P. THOMAS, Esq., the Presi- dent, it has gradually increased in its members, the number of which now amounts to 480, having also a library of about 3,000 volumes, a museum, and extensive premises in which lectures are weekly delivered. An attempt has been, however, made to eiect Mr. Thomas, a few of the members proposing Mr. E. L. Bulwer, M. P., for Presi- dent. The election tookplace the evening before last, and created considerable interest. The resalt was that Mr. J. P. THOMAS was re- elected President by A VERY LARGE MAJORITY. — What a compliment to Mr. E. BULWER ! The same number of the Chronicle especially recommends Mr. HUME, on account of his acknowledged public support of the Honourable Mr. HENRY GREY BENNETT to the patronage of the electors of Middlesex. Thursday afternoon, between five and six o'clock, as a poor woman named CHARLOTTE HAYDEN, living in Charles- street, Drnry- lane, was crossing Holborn, near Museum- street, with her child, a girl about five years of age, when half- way over the crossing the little creature lefthermother's hand, and was running on first, at the moment that a carriage was passing, aud before the coachman could pull up both mother and child were thrown down under the horses' feet. The poor woman, regardless of her own safety, shrieked out, " My child ! for GOD'S sake save my child!" All who witnessed the occurrence imagined that destruction was inevitable; but to the astonishment and satisfaction of all, both mother and child, on being extricated from their perilous situation, were found to have escaped injury, with the exception of a bruise of trifling consequence, on the hip. The gentleman who was in the carriage made the poor woman a present of some silver.— This affectionate parent, who, reckless of consequences to herself, cried in an agony of affection for the pre- servation of lier child, belongs to that class of the female population in which the pious, amiable, sweet tempered, popular Bishop of LONDON declares that no virtue is to be found. COURT OF CHANCERY, DUBLIN.— Monday being the first day of Hilary Term, the Court was filled at an early hour, by persons anx- ious to see Sir EDWARD SUGDEN, the new Chancellor, take his seat npon the bench. A large party of ladies occupied a conspicuous position in the gallery, and several others were accommodated with seats at the outer bar, and on the Six Clerks' benches, whilst a fair phalanx was seen arrayed on the King's Counsel seats. Shortly be- fore the CHANCELLOR entered, Miss SUGDEN, accompanied by the Countess of GLENGAL, came into Court, and took their seats upon the extremity of the bench. The CHANCELLOR entered the Court about one o'clock in his silk robes, accompanied by the MASTER of the ROLLS and Master CONNOR, and having made his obeisance, the fol- lowing gentlemen were called to the bar:— Henry Orpen Palmer, Esq., third son of Abraham Palmer, Esq.; Abraham Augustus Nunn, Esq.; Stearne Ball Miller, Esq.; ThomasCraydon, Esq.; Lawrence Rorke, Esq.; James Meade Longhnan, Esq.; andCharles Culligan, Esq. The three first gentlemen were sworn in as Roman Catholics.— Dublin Register.— We sincerely congratulate the suitors in Chancery in Ireland, as well as the barristers practising in that Court, upon the change which has occurred in their Judge. The unbounded knowledge— the quickness of apprehension— the clear- ness of judgment— the openness of manner— the sincerity of heart of Sir EDWARD SUGDEN, will form a most pleasing and advantageous contrast to all the qualities of the father of all theHannibals. It is with great pleasure we see that his MAJESTY has been pleased to elevate Sir PHILIP SYDNEY to the Peerage: a more excellent or exemplary Nobleman does not exist, and the following statement which is going the ronnd of the papers will show that his claims to the dignity are hereditary as well as personal: — The Barony of De Lisle, which has been conferred on Sir PHILIP C. SYDNEY, G. C. H., son- in- law to his MAJESTY, is a revival of a title which has long been claimed by the SYDNEYS of Pensliurst, a family particularly distin- guished in the annals of English history. Sir JOHN SYDNEY, the father of Lord De L'ISLE and DUDLEY, was created a Baronet in 1818; he is the eldest son of Sir BYSSHE SHELLEY, of Castle Goring, and quarters the arms of SHELLEY with those of SYDNEY. LordDe LISLE is the only surviving son of Sir JOHN'S marriage with a sister of the present Countess of ALBEMARLE. The first Theatre the Duke of LEUCHTENBERG visited in London was the Adelphi, accompanied by Lord ADOLPHUS FITZCLARENCE. The house literally overflowed as it has done every evening in the week. It is reported in Ripon, says the Leeds Intelligencer, that Mr. STAVELEY, the rejected Whig candidate for that borough, will be proposed for some borough in Ireland, and become one of the tail of O'CONNELL. He may do for the tail of the arch agitator of Ireland, for we understand he will never again head the electors of Ripon, and walk into the House of Commons as their Member. The following is a summary of the Members of the House of Commons :— England : county Members, 143 ; Isle of Wight, 1; Universities, 4; cities, boroughs, and cinque ports, 323; Wales: county Members, 15; boroughs, 14; Scotland: county Members, 30; cities and boroughs, 23; Ireland: county Members, 64; Uni- versity, 2; cities aud boroughs, 39— making a total of 658 Members. We have to record the awfully sudden death of Sir WILLIAM ELIAS TAUNTON, one of the Justices of the Court of King's Bench, and Recorder of Oxford, which melancholy event took place on Sunday night last, at his residence in Russell- square. His Lordship, it appears, had for some time past been in his usual good state of health, and had on Sunday afternoon entertained as a guest to dinner his professionalattendant. His Lordship retired to bed at eleven, and was shortly afterwards followed by Lady TAUNTON, who in a few seconds was heard to scream violently'for assistance. Some of the domestics instantly ran into the apartment, and found his Lordship lying evidently dead in the bed. Her Ladyship in the meantime had swooned and fallen on the floor, from the effect of feelings that cannot be described. Dr. TURNBULL was instantly sent for, a. nd speedily arrived, but of course could render no assistance, as the vital spark was quite extinct; death had apparently occurred instantaneously. His Lordship was in the 64th year of his age, and was raised to the Bench in Michaelmas Term, 1830. He has held the Recordership of Oxford about twenty years. He has left six children, four daughters and two sons, the eldest of the latter being at Westminster School, and the youngest being only four years of age. The family had but arrived the day previously from the country seat, Freeland Lodge, Enshain, Oxfordshire.— A Jury assembled on Wed- nesday to inquire into the circumstances connected with the death of this lamented gentleman. Dr. TURNBULL, after a post mortem examination of the body, gave it as his opinion that the deceased died of an ossification of the valves of the heart, and the Jury gave a verdict in accordance with his evidence. PETER BORTHWICK, Esq., who distinguished himself about two years ago by a series of eloquent lectures on the state of the West India Colonies, has been returned to Parliament for the borough of JJvesliam, on Conservative principles. The ROBBBT Rector of Sunderland, in giving a plumper for Alderman THOMPSON, at the recent election, made the following pre- liminary observation : " I vote for Alderman THOMPSON, and wish to state my reasons for doing so. I have hitherto refrained from voting at all, but Mr. THOMPSON has acted towards my parishioners in a manner so kind and so humane, that I feel myself compelled to assist him." It is a fact not less true than remarkable, that, with only one exception, wherever a Conservative has offered himself to the notice of the borough electors in Yorkshire he has been returned to Parlia- ment ; and with only two other exceptions, each has been placed at the head of the poll. A return was made in the last census, for the first time, of the number of illegitimate births occurring in Great Britain. There were 20,039 of them in the year 1830, in the proportion of 41 males to 40 females; as compared with legitimate births, they are reckoned as 1 in 18 for the whole of England and Wales. The minimum of illegitimate births is in Middlesex! and the maximum in / Vales.' We learn from Berlin, that Prince WILLIAM having long expressed a wish to view the manufactories in England, it is not improbable that his MAJESTY may accede to his request. The public are not aware, says a correspondent of the Times, that it is to Mr. HUME they are indebted for the injury which has been occasioned by the cab and omnibus nuisance. As a specimen of his mode of legislation and great regard for the public, it may be stated, that when reasoned with by parties who foresaw the effect of his measure for throwing open the hackney- coaah trade, his reply was—" He cared nothing for the nuisance or injury it would occa- sion,— that the public must take care of themselves, and thatwhether right or wrong, he should advocate the measure npon principle." Earls AMHERST and JERSEY, and Sir GEORGE SEYMOUR, Master of the Robes to his MAJESTY, have had the insignia of G. C. H. conferred upon them. The Earl of VERULAM, the Earl of SHEFFIELD, the Lord de LISLE, the Viscount SYDNEY, and the Earl of MORTON, were on Tuesday Gazetted Lords of his MAJESTY'S Bedchamber. The Duke of LEUCHTENBERG, consort of the Queen of PORTUGAL, arrived in town on Sunday. His Highness will make but a short stay in England, as according to the present arrangements he is expected to arrive at Lisbon about the 1st of next month. It would appear that the Reform Bill has converted the Dictator into a Boroughmonger. Notwithstanding O'CONNELL has indulged in the most bitter invectives against the patrons of boroughs, and frequently denounced them in Parliament, it now turns out that he has written to Mr. JOSEPH HUME, informing him that, should he lose his seat for Middlesex, he ( Mr. O'CONNELL) has'a borough at his service in Ireland.— Perhaps Mr. O'CONNELL may want it himself. It is said that the letter of M. de TALLEYRAND, inserted yesterday in the Moniteur, was published against the desire of Louis PHILIPPE This may appear strange enough, but still it is said to be the case. It is even added that in an interview which M. de TALLEYRAND had with Louis PHILIPPE, of rather an energetic nature, the former observed, " The question is not whether my letter is to be printed, but whether it is to be printed by your printer or mine !"— Quotidienne. The Duke of WELLINGTON gave a grand dinner at Apsley House on Wednesday evening to the Duke of LEUCHTENBERG, the Foreign Ministers, and the Cabinet Ministers in town. By the death of C. JOHNSON, Esq., the lucrative Government appointment of Surveyor- General and Superintendent of the Mail- coa « h Department has become vacant. The gift is in the office of Lord MARYBOROUGH, the new Postmaster General. It appears that the unfavourable reports which have lately been circulated respecting the health of the King of PRUSSIA, are un- founded— the last accounts from Berlin affirm his MAJESTY" to have uninterruptedly enjoyed his usual good state of health. THE following letters close the correspondence between the Lord Bishop of EXETER and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, of which we last week published a part:— TO THE RIGHT REVEREND THE BISHOP OF EXETER. Saltram, Jan. 5, 1835. MY LORD— I had the honour to receive the night before last, two letters from your Lordship, dated on the 31st ult., and 2d instant. It appears from the inquiries I have made that early in 1833, and before the introduction into the House of Commons of the Tithe Commutation by Lord Althorp, a conference took place between the first Minister of the Crown, assisted by two of his colleagues, and the Archbishop of Canterbury on the subject of tithes. In that confer- ence the Archbishop expressed his own individual opinion that the outline of the plan proposed to him was open to great objections. Other communications took place, altogether confined to the Primate personally, and not imparted to any other of the Bishops. When I made my speech a t Totnes, I was uiuler the impression that these communications between his Majesty's servants and the Archbishop of Canterbury were on the part of the latter in a more formal and representative character, and were more determined in opposing sentiments than according to my recent inquiries and pre- sent conviction they really were. Everything that has since passed between your Lordship and my- self has arisen out of this simple misapprehension on my part. I deeply regret this misapprehension; I should feel that I were un- worthy of the post which I lately filled in his Majesty's Councils, and of the'honour of representing my late constituents, if I could have the least hesitation in declaring what I now believe to be the truth; and at the same time expressing my concern if anything which may have fallen from me in speaking or in writing, should have had the effect of throwing even the most passing discredit upon the conduct or character ofthe Bench of Bishops, whose authority and just influence it must ever be my anxious wish to support.— I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's obedient servant, J. RUSSELL. TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL. Exeter, Jan. 6,1835. MY LORD— I have this instant received your Lordship's letter of yesterday's date from Saltram. I trust that it is unnecessary for me to say that if any unpleasant feeling has been excited in my mind by anything which has passed, it is completely removed by the' frank and honourable communication which your Lordship has made tome. Having deemed it my duty to communicate to the public what I have before written to vour Lordship, it would be a gratification to me to give the same publicity to the feeling which I now express. I therefore take the liberty of saying that 1 should rejoice if your Lord- ship should do me the honour of allowing this letter to accompany the Sublication of your present sentiments, if it be your purpose to pub- sh them. In saying this, I hope to be understood as wishing to take that course which it may be most satisfactory to your Lordship that 1 should take, in order to give full effect to my declaration, that you have in your letter tome, in a manner highly honourable to your can- dour, removed every unpleasant impression which I may have per- sonally received, and every shadow of imputation on the character and conduct of the Bishops in general. I have the honor to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient and humble servant, H. EXETER. The truth of all this is, that if the Bishop of EXETER— who, in consonance with his personal and professional character and station, receives the affectedly candid admission of error from Lord JOHN RUSSELL with pleasure and even praise,-— had not in a firm,' dignified, and manly manner rebutted his falslioods, and compelled a retractation of them, the pert assertions of the popinjay would have gone to the people as truths, and the Bishop would again have been subjected to the denunciation of Lord JOHN'S constituents. Every praise is due to the vigilance and activity of the Right Rev. Prelate, and we the more anxiously look to the Pillars of the Church which really support it, at a period when every succeeding hour gives us reason to believe that, beyond the dangers from without, we are threatened with rottenness within, in a part of the structure which requires the most substantial support.

CHURCH REFORM.— We can state, upon what we consider unques- tionable authority, that a Committee of Bishops has been appointed to consider of a plan of Church Reform, including a commutation of tithes, preparatory to the- subject being submitted to Parliament by his MAJESTY'S Ministers.— Worcester Journal. We learn, says the Record, that a measure of large, and we trust of enlightened, Church reform is to be immediately brought forward by Sir ROBERT PEEL on the opening of Parliament. \\ e are also informed that tlie Rev. Dr. I'VE SMITH and the Rev. JOHN CLAYTON have had an interview with the Premier by his desire, with a view of making some arrangements as to what are called Dissenters' griev- ances. Both of these gentlemen have stood aloof from the mere political agitators calling themselves Dissenters, and have little communion of sentiment with those who are capable of penning the low intemperate resolutions to which the name of Mr. TIMOTHY EAST was appended. We believe Sir. R. PEEL is disposed to go as far as any reasonable Non- conformist ought to desire, in removing the few remaining civil disabilities of the Dissenters, and we trnst that the respectable portion of that body will not suffer the intentions of the Government to be defeated by men who have no stake in the country, and who derive more than half their importance from the bustle " and excitement of troublous times. At a meeting of the National Society for the Education of the Poor, held at the Central School, Westminster, on Wednesday the 14th inst., there were present the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Bishop of LONDON, the Bishop of St. ASAPH, ANTHONY HAMMOND, Esq., the Rev. H. H. NORRIS, JAMES TRIMMER, Esq., and the Rev. J. C. WIGRAM. . , The Rev. CHARLES WHITMORE, Rector of Stockton, Bonnmghall, and Astley Abbots, has returned 10 per cent, on the amount of his The Rev.

January 18 STOCK EXCHANGE— SATURDAY EVENING. Tho Market during the week has been rather agitated, and Con- sols have been dtme at 91% 92, but there has since Deen a re- actlon, snd the closing price this afternoon was 92Ki J£. Long Annuities are 17 3- 16K. In the Foreign Market, the Settlement of the Account passed over < Jnietly yesterday. During the week there has been great specula- lion iri Spanish and Portuguese Bonds; the former have been done at 56/ 4 31, and closed this" afternoon at 56%%. The cause of this advance is chiefly the intended appropriation of the waste lands by the present Government to the purposes of the State. Applications for the new Spanish Stock have been made to Messrs. Ilicardo and Co. both yesterday and to- day, and we understand that it will be brought out on \\ ednesday at 60. All onr Northern Bonds have fa> en at very high prices. Russian are lOriK 8, Dutch Five per Cents. 300* 101, Two- and- a- Half per Cents. 5i% and Belgian Brazilian Bonds have risen to SI %, and Chilian are 33% : Colom- fcian 32^ *, and M exican 41 * 42 ¥. In the Share Market, Brazilian Mine Shares have advanced to 39 40. The long- expected packet from Mexico, the Swallow, . which put into Ilnvaiinah to repair, has arrived from the latter port.

There were few foreign arrivals yesterday, and the French papers of Thursday not having been received, it is impossible to say what may have been the decision of the Deputies on the American Ques- tion. It appears by the New York papers, and letters from different jiarts of the States, that the spirit there is decidedly warlike. When the Pantaloon left Lisbon on the 11th instant reports were current that her Majesty would, in the course of the present month, dissolve the Chamber of Deputies, and that a change of Ministers was contemplated. Assassinations continued to take place. A Lieutenant Russell, in the Constitutional service, had fallen a victim to some villains, just before the packet sailed. The Queen of Portugal has been indisposed with a severf cold for several days. One of the bulletins issued by her physician ran thus :—" Her Ma- jesty's health continues to improve gradually. I have only to assert that my lips never utter any thing but the truth— the clear, plain truth.— FHAXCISCO JOSE D'ALMEIDA." The Duke of Leuclitenberg, and suite, leave the Clarendon Hotel this day for Falmouth, where the Monarch steam- vessel and a frigate are waiting to convey them to Lisbon. His Majesty presented to his Royal Highness, on Thursday evening, a most splendid gold stroll box inlaid with diamonds, aiid also two line saddle horses, chosen from the roval stud. Sir Robert and Lady Peel returned to their residence in Privy- gardens on Friday from Drayton Manor. The Duke of Wellington, on passing through Croydon on Friday, on his way from Brighton to town, was recognised, and most enthu- siastically cheered by the inhabitants. The Roman Catholic Primate of Ireland, the Rev. Thomas Kelly, died on " Wednesday morning last, at four o'clock, at his residence m Dublin, aged about 85.

In addition to its numerous other scientific claims, this'work will, amidst a multitude of original experiments and observations, be found to comprise in its anatomical and physiological departments, a generalisation of the host of facts elicited by the laborious investigations of Straus, Duckheim, Muller, Juckow, Leon Dufour, Nilzch, & c. & c., up to a very late period. It is confidently believed that such a work must necessarily become most useful, not only to the entomological but also to the physiological student, and to the scientific man in general.
