A long experience in qualifying Vocalists and Pianists for the Stage, the Concert- room^ andas Teacbers, and in instructing many amateurs amongst the Nobility and Gentry, enables Mr. de Pinna, by adapting his system of tuition to the parti- cular views of his pupils, to ensure their progressive and permanent improvement. USICAL ACADEMY, 24, RUSSELI^ PLACE, FITZROY- SQUARE.— PIANOFORTE and the SCIENCE of MUSIC and COM- POSITION.— MRS. and the MISSES MORRIS respectfully beg leave to announce, that their Academy is now open for the reception of Pupils, for instruction upon the system of Musical Education so successfully introduced by Mr. Logier, joined by the celebrated Mr. Kalkbrener ; and which is now generally adopted on the Continent. In following this system of Musical Instruction, Mrs. and the Misses Morris feel it necessary to explain that the principal difference between it and the method formerly pursued is, that, in the one case, the principles of harmony and theory of music are taught from the commencement, with practical lessons on the Piano- forte; whilst, by the former method, thorough Bass was made a separate study, after the attainment of practical knowledge. The general adoption of this system of Musical Education is damped only by the great expense attendant on the fitting up of Academies, which require to be fur- nished with a number of instruments of the best description for Concert playing, and. also, in separate rooms, for private instruction ;— as there cannot be a doubt of its excellence, borne out, as it is, by the written and published opinions of Hummel, Kalkbrener, M. Clementi, J. B. Cramer, Spohr, Wesley, Shield, and others of great emiuence in the musical world. Mrs. and the Misses Morris having had the honour to instruct the daughters of many of the nobility and other persons of distinction, possess the strongest letters of approval and certificates of qualification, which can be seen at their Academy ; where their prospectus, with terms, and every information, with the most satis- factory references, may be obtained. Pupils instructed at their own residences, if required ; and Ladies' Schools also attended. CONTINUATION OF 1 HE GREAT SALE OPPOSITE THE MANSION HOUSE.

GRANS FETE CHAMPETRE.— Among the out- door fashionable amusements of tiiis delightful season of the year, the Grand l; eto Champetre to be held in the Regent'sPark, next Thursday, is of the foremost rank. Great preparations are making for the reception of the distinguished visitors who have signified their intention cf> being gesent; and the entertainments are of a highly attractive and novel nd. The new ly- arrived Hungarian singers, who have excited so much attention • a't ® erlin, and been received with such eclat- in this country, will attend, and sing their most favourite songs. Collinet's • waltz tind quadrille band, a full military band < fcc., will also tend their harmonious aid on the occasion. Notwithstanding the unfavourable weather, and incessant . rain of Thursday, her ' Sfajesty's Drawing- room was most splendidly and fashionably attended. " The presentations were numerous. The Court dresses of the ladies excited fiie utmost admiration. The Choicest gifts of nature were embellished by the finest productions of art. The « patSling of the brightest ( jewels was surpassed ' by the radiance of eyes that beamed with « elestial lustre. The beauty of the complexion- was heightened by the magic properties of Row- land's Kalydor; - while the flowing tresses, adorned by Rowland's Ma- cassar © il, formed a subject of superlative attraction. Malibran arrived in London last week, and will make her appear- ance at Covent Garden on Monday. An opera had been prepared for herby Planche and T. Cooke, but it appears that she does not approve of it, ami that Bellini's Norma is to be brought oat forth- with. Malibran, - with a feeling that does her credit, expressed a Wish to sing at Mr. J. B. Cramer's concert on Tuesday next in> com- pliment to that distinguished composer nnd pianoforte player, who • will take his leave of the public 011 tkf. t occasion, after a brilliant professional career . of half a century. The intelligence from Paris principally refers to the trials now pending before the Court of Peers. To prevent a recurrence of the tumult and confusion which arose by the clamour of the prisoners, the Court decided that the offending parties should not be allowed the privilegeofbeiug present when the Act of Accusation was read ; and, on Saturday** ™ a renewal of violence, the Court was cleared. Of the 121 prisoners, 33 only remained to listen to the Accusation, and of these & have protested against the proceedings. Several officers of the National Guards have also agreed to the declaration of the 5th Legion. T. he National mentions that several protests by Jneml ers of the'National Guard against mounting guard at the Lux- emburg during the State trials are in course of signature. Among them is one - signed iky 100 of the 3d battalion of the 11th Legion. The Jnurnail an Commerce asserts that the number of Peers who have threatened to- withdraw themselves, in case the Court should persist in the trial of the prisoners who are not present, already amounts to 45.. The ( Tribune democratic gaper lias ceased to exist, having been prosecuted dl2 times, and the'- sMiitor fined to the amount of 160,000 francs ! The triennial festival of the Eton Mmitem is fixed for the 9th of June. Their MAJESTIES and the whole of the Royal Family are expected to hoKour the- ceremonial with their presence. The Conservatives of Hereford have presented an elegant chased silver Grecian vase, capable of containing about six bottles of wine, • to Sir E. F. S. STANHOPE, Bart., in testimony of their " unfeigned respect and high ' appreciation of his character," but more especially for his exertions iu the Conservative cause, at the late contested election. The riband of f„ I\; C. B. has become vacant by the demise of the Hon. Admiral Sir ARTHUR RAVE LEWIE, who died at the villa of the Dowager Countess of DARTMOUTH on Tuesday. The gallant Admi- ral was son of WI- LSJIAM, second Earl of DAiWJfouTH, and uncle of the present Earl. The following gentlemen were on Wednesday called to the degree rister at Law by the Hon. Society of Lincoln's Inn:— Samuel PARLIAMENTARY ANALYSIS. HOUSE OF LORDS. TUESDAY. Xord Dernnan took his seat on the woolsack. Numerous petitions, praying for the extension of Church accom- modation'in Scotland were'presented. The Rtifce of RICHMOND laid on the table the first report of the Committee appointed to inquire into Prison Discipline. The silent system was recommended to be enforced, as an excellent means of " preserving order, and of reclaiming prisoners. The- Bishop of EXETER, in reply to Lord DUNCANNON, said that he should defer bringing forward certain petitions, upon the subject of Ecclesiastical Inquiry in Ireland, until the House was in posses- sion of the report. A conversation took place on an alleged breach of discipline in the fleet 011 the Mediterranean station, between Lord BROUGHAM, Lord Auen. ANn, Lord Mitt. vti. LE, Lord BERESFORD, the Marquess of SALISBURY, Lord Cnt vii ut, and Lord COLCHESTER. The discussion terminated, after a declaration of the Duke of BUCCLEUCH that nothing had occurred to warrant the interference of the Admiralty. The Honse at its rising adjourned till Thursday. THURSDAY. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition, numerously signed, from ' Edinburgh against any public grants for additional Church accom- modation in Scotland. The - petition stated that there were already more seats than were occupied.— The Duke of BUCCLEUCH main- tained that, however the fact might be with respect to Edinburgh, the was prepared to prove that in other parts of Scotland additional ' Church accommodation was wanted.— Lord BROUGHAM observed that, before any grant was made, inquirv would of course take place. His Lordship further postponed, from Tuesday till Thursday next, his motion on the subject of education. FRIDAY. The first report of the'Scotch Entail Commissioners was presented. Viscount MELBOURNE, in reply to some observations of the Duke of RICHMOND, stated that it was the determination of the Govern- ment to carry into effect, as far as was consistent with the report of the Committee now sitting on county rates, his Majesty's recom- mendation, in his Speech from the Throne, on the subject of agriculture. The Earl of WICKLOW complained of the transactions that had attended the introduction of Lord Mulgravo into Dublin— of the illegal assemblages and banners— and of the Solicitor- General hating been at a dinner Where a toa- st was given for ** the Repeal of the Union."— Lord MELBOURNE replied that all he knew was that there had been a great concourse of people ; beyond that fact he had no particulars. He knew nothing about any toasts; but he knew that if they had acted illegally they would be punished . Lord BRO-' GHAJI, in " presenting a petition from the Common Council of the City of London, praying for a repeal of the stamp duties on newspapers, advocated at great length the removal of the tax. Several petitions on behalf of the Established Church of Scotland, were presented, after which the Honse adjourned. of'Barrister - Gale, Es. j.; Edward feobertSimmons, fisq.,; Wm. Rawdon Havens, Esq.; Acred Morgan, Esq.; Kitzowen Skinner, Esq.; John Shaw Drinkald, Esq.; George Burdstt, Esq.; andJ- ohn Maurice Herbert, Esq. We regret to hear tibat our favourite MATHEWS still continues seriously indisposed. He has ibeen advised to try the climate of Devonshire, and is at thef regent tine proceeding by easy journeys to Plymouth. BLANCHARB, the comedian, died on Saturday last, at the age of S6. He ma thrown out . af a chaise in the early part of the week, end it is said that that attention w& s not paid to the injurySie received " which the serious nature of- it required. Demerara papers have been received to the 28tk of March. The conduct of the negroes on La Penitence estate still eon tinued unsatis- factory, and, notwithstanding the continual punishment of the refractory, the example appeared in a great measure last. At the above date there was scarcely oiie effective woman on the estate who ' was not undergoing some description of punishment for miscotiduct, and all the labour was consequently performed by the men- gang, who, though of late behaving tolerably well, had been « o incited by the condact of the females, that upwards of twenty had absconded from the estate. Tki » loss to tie proprietor was eonsequeEtly enormous, and it was feared that this disposition would extend to other estates, A private letter from Jamaica, dated 26th Mnrch, gives an account of affairs there exactly according with those, which all private letters from the West Indies contain. It says:— I am sorry to inform you that the" emancipation system is being severely felt to the planting interest, as the apprentices are acting with that passive resistance that less than the ustitl, or scarcely two thirds of labour can be obtained from them, in consequence of w hich few properties will be capable- of making crops:; and in my opinion, after the apprentices eease, few individuals will be able to carry 011 cultivation, unless it is in very fertile soils, and that by wSrite labouring, as the blacks seem not inclined to work 011 any account unless forced to do so. I have been present whena proprietor'has 06' ered Is. gd. per day for apprenticeships, which they lead disdainfully refissed. Most of the planting attorneys are writing their constituents tha/ i the new system is working well to continue theiriaterests, hut, believe me, the whole of the old proprietors oust be thrown ftp after the expiration of the apprenticeship system. Even the old , toffee properties trill scarcely pay to be kept up new, as only once iu. two / ears they eaii tnake a eiop of an/ consideration. HOUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY. The House met'this day for the first time after the Easter recess, and several Members who had vacated their seats upon their ac- ceptance of office, find had been re- elected, took the oaths.— New writs were moved for the borough of Stroud, the county of Kildare, for the southern division of the county of Stafford, for the borough of Malton, and for the borough of Poole. Sir G. GREY, ill answer to a question from Mr. H UME, said that the last accounts from Canada were more favourable. The Govern- ment had determined to recal Sir J. Stewart; and the question of the appointment of Commissioners who were to proceed to Canada was under consideration. Lord Amherst had declined to act at the head of the Commission, on the ground of the length of time that must be taken up in such an inquiry. Mr. FOWELL BCSCTON withdrew his motion on the subject of the slave trade, at the suggestion of Mr. HUME, and said that he should renew it iu another form. A petition against the return of the late election at Penryn was presented, and the House adjourned. WEDNESDAY. Sir < 5. STRICKLAND presented petitions from places in the West Riding of Yorkshire, complaining of the restrictions on beer shops.— Mr. A. TREVOR contended that more strict regulations were neces- sary, and pledged himself to bring in a measure for that purpose. Mr. WALTER presented a petition from Newbury for the repeal of the Poor Laws Amendment Act, a measure which he had opposed in every stage. The petitioners justly complained of the expense incurred in the building of union workhouses, and of the clause authorising the separation of wives from their husbands, and chil- dren from their parents.— Major BEAUCLERK objected to the same clause, and declared that if no one else moved for its repeal he would do so. It gave a power which ought not to be intrusted to any man. Petitions w- erepresented against the Bill for abolishing Imprisonment for Debt; and amongst them one, numerously signed, from West- minster, was presented by Sir R. PEEL, who thought that as the Committee had not yet made its report, it would be premature to enter into any discussion upon the Bill. He would, however, call the attention of the House to it on a future occasion.— The CHAN- CELLOR of the EXCHBQUER believed it was the intention to re- commit the Bill to a private Committee, when the power of examining witnesses might be conferred.— Sir F. POLLOCK repeated his convic- tion in favour of the principle of the Bill, but saw many objections to its details. He also was anxious that the subject should be duly investigated. Alderman WOOD'S Bill for the regulation of public carriages was, after some conversation, read a second time, and referred to a Com- mittee up stairs. Captain PECHELL obtained leave to bring in a Bill to repeal several Acts relating to the assize of bread. THURSDAY. Committees were ballotted for to try the election petitions from • anterhurv.— Several oetitions were presented for oro- LITERARY NOTICES. Carlow and Canterbury.— petitions pro- tection to the Established Church of Scotland, and upon other subjects. -— Sir R. HERON postponed his motion on the Septennial Act to the 15tli of June.— A petition was presented from Droglieda against the return of ANDREW CABEW O'DWYEP..— Mr. O'CONNELL, at the suggestion of Sir G. GREY, postponed his motion on the case of General DARLING until the 3d of June, to which day Mr. DIVETT also postponed his motion on the subject of church rates. Lord MANOEVILI. E moved for the production of certain papers relative to the outrages committed in October last at the races at Armagh, and entered into details relative to those outrages and to the manner in which they had been investigated. His Lordship con- tended that if proper vigilance and impartiality had been exercised the- case would have assumed a very different appearance. The con- duct of Lord Gosford, as Lord " Lieutenant of the county, was ] Ktrficitlnriv censured.—- Dr. LUSHINGTON did not object to the granting of any papers, but entered at once into the charges brought against Lord ( rosford, which he declared to be destitue of the slightest foundation.-— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Mr. HUME maintained similar views, and after a debate of some warmth, the original motion was rejected, and an amendment moved by Mr. Hums, declaring the charges against Lord Gosford to be without foundation, was agreed to. FRIDAY. Mr. PARKER took the oaths and his seat forSonth Devon. The Hon. Member, who was introduced by Sir R. Inglis and Sir J. Y. Buller, was loudlv cheered. The Glasgow Water- works Bill was read a second time, after a division of 6" against 47.— The Marquess of CHANDOS postponed his motion relative to agricultural distress till the 25tli, on account of the absence of Lord John Russell. Mr. SHAW brought slider the notice of the House an assertion of Mr. O'Conuell before the recess, that no single instance of outrage bad been committed at the last election for the county of Kerry. Mr. • SH AW fully established his statement that there had been. The affairs of Canada gave rise to an animated discussion, in • which Mr. ROEBUCK and tfee CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER came dBto collision. . The House went into a Committee of Supply, and votes for Civil Contingencies. A majority of- 78 against 18' decided against an - amendment of Mr. HUME to reduce the vote of 109,5581., to defray the exposes of Yeomanry Cavalry, to 30,0001. The Imprisonment for Debt Bill was, on the motion of Sir J. CAMPBELL, ordered to be referred to a Select Committe. TheOatUs' Abolition Biil and the Merchant Seamen's Bill were read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. A motion of Mr. ROEBUCK'S, for a copy- 01" a despatch from Mr. S. Bice to Lord Aylmer, was agreed to. NEW PUBLICATIONS.— Our readers resident at a distance from the metropolis are scarcely aware of the number of new and interesting works which are issuing from the London press at this season of the year: we notice from the firm of Messrs. Saunders and Otley alone the following new hooks announced as published or about to appear t— The Student, bv Mr. Bulwer— The Wife, by the Hon. Mrs. Norton— The Two Friends, by Lady Blessington— Sir Gren- ville Temple's Excursions in the ' Mediterranean— Sir W. Gell's Rome and its Vicinity— Jacob Faithful, by the author of " Peter Simple"— Miss Lister s Anne Grey— Harry Calverley, by the author of " Cecil Hyde"— The Mardens a'nd the Daventrys," by Miss I'ardoe — Selwyn in search of a Daughter— Shakspeare's Trial for Deer Stealing, by Landor— Two Old Men's Tales— The Language of Flowers— Dr. Hogg's visit to Alexandria— My Neighbourhood, by the author of the " The Collegians"— Octavia Elphinstone— a new edition of Mrs. Jameson's Memoirs of Female Sovereigns.— Captain Marryat's new work, also, The Pasha of many Tales, is on the eve of publication. SIR GRENVILLE TEMPLE'S EXCURSIONS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.- —" Sir Grenville Temple is a highly accomplished gentleman^ and a talented tourist, quite equal to the" task of describing the regions he visited, which, as everybody is aware, requires a classical knowledge of no mean amount. His volumes are interesting, and the more so as they treat of parts seldom seen by travellers. The interior regions of Barbarv are indeed little known, and these ' Excursions' afford us information not to be found in any work with which we are acquainted. Since Montague's days we have not had a more minute account of a harem, than the one furnished in the present work by Lady Temple." — Monthly Revieic. THE HON. MRS. NORTON'S NOVEL.—" It is a pleasure to meet' with a work like the one before us," observes a contemporary^ " there is so much vigour united with grace. The characters are such as cross our path every day ; there is nothing of that high- flown absurdity which too often " disfigures works of fiction ; and thus its interest from its very nature and home feelings is perfect; while in the heroine there is so much truth, beauty, nnd reality, that we can- not imagine the sketch, with its accompanying incidents, is wholly the work of invention. We congratulate Sirs. Norton on her suc- cess, which must be complete." MB. BULWER'S NEW WORK, " THE STUDENT."—" Mr. Bnlweris one of the living novelists whose name will go down to posterity, and this not for his brilliant wit, for his knowledge of the world, for the exquisite sentiment of his writings, or the exceeding beauty with which he invests all he does, but ter the fine and moral and im- portant truths of which these are made the vehicle. We cannot rise from the perusal of his works without the feeling that we are wiser than before, and unlike the usual forms in which knowledge is pre- sented, which too generally repel instead of inviting, we feel an in- clination, nay, a longing for the repetition of the feast, not so much from our vivid remembrance of its zest as from the unavowed yet innate feeling that we are the better because we have partaken of it. The present work bears out our opinion. Monos and Oaimorws is in the very highest strain of romance, yet without exaggeration. The World as it is, an amusing piece of light reading; Fihoti, Lake Leman, and slrasmrmes, are each of them of different styles, yet each, of them exquisite ; and in The New Phcedo, the author lias equalled, if not exceeded, any of his former productions."— Sunday Times. If ever there was a book to excite the mirthful sympathies of the reader, it is the just published Sketches and Recollections of the author of Paul Pry. This work is now the favourite one in all circles, and bids fair to have as triumphant a career as The Sketch Book of Washington Irving. By the bye, we think Mr. Poole's book might not inaptly have been styled Paul Pry's Sketch Book. M. DE LAMABTINE'S " PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND."— In re- cording his Pilgrimage to the Holy Land, M. De Lamartine has not confined himself to such descriptions as might illustrate the New Testament ( though in these he is unusually copious), but has ex- plored with holy zeal, and untiring research, the scenes rendered for ever memorable in the books of Genesis and Exodus, and in the su- blime prophecies of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. He wandered through the whole of Syria and Canaan, visited the plain of Tyre and the wells of Solomon," ascended Mount Sinai, crossed the Deserts, viewed the mysterious ruins of Baalbeck, and traversed those wilder- nesses where the angel pointed out to Hagar the hidden spring, and where the spirits of Heaven were seen ascending and descending Jacob's ladder. THE NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF " STORIES OF- WATERLOO."— " There is enough of adventure and incident in My Life, by the author of Stories of Waterloo, to furnish out three novels. Pathos, humour, and terror quickly succeed each other in these pages, and yet all is consistent as a true picture of life. It was the lot of Capt. Blake, the imaginary antibiographer whose career is here narrated, to see more of the world than men in general; but, though the events that befel him are rare and remarkable, probability is never violated, nor the truth of nature lost sight of. Even the most eccen- tric characters of the story, such as Manus Blake and Jack the Devil, are in perfect keeping, and establish the author's claim to a high rank among those novelists who, like Fielding and Smollett, have given enduring themes for laughter. Were it not, indeed, for the irresistible drollery of the portraitures we have mentioned, the harrowing interest of other parts of the work might be too power- ful."— Courier. MEMOIRS OF LORD BOI. INGBROKE.—" A life of Henry St. John Lord Boliiigbroke," observes the Literary Gazette, " has been long craved for by all those who hunger and thirst after biographical literature. Not to them alone, but teeming with interest and instruction to the whole community, is the investigation and analysis of the powers, passions, principles, and impulses of this great and extraordinary man. The labour of collecting materials for the personal history of any public individual during the reigns of Queen Anne . and George I. and II. is of itself neither slight nor agreeable. But glancing over the testimonies furnished by himself, and by such contemporaries as Dryden, Pope, Swift, Prior, Gay, Voltaire, Lords Lyttleton, Ossory, and Chesterfield, then comes the discovery that something more than an ordinary mind and facile pen is required to develope the orbit, describe the brilliancy, and account ior the irregularities of that earthly comet, Bolingbroke." Mr. Wingrove Cooke's Memoirs of this distinguished statesman, whom Pope characterised as " the greatest writer of the age," will take its rank among the most valu- able works lately published. SOUTH WARWICKSHIRE CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.— On Saturday last, one of the most respfectably- attended meetings ever held in Warwickshire, took place at the Warwick Arms Inn, in Warwick, when it was unanimously resolved to establish one of those loyal and constitutional societies. The chair was taken soon after 12 o'clock, bv EVELYN JOHN SHIRLEY, Esq., of Easington Park, who, in a brief but energetic address pointed out the great necessity there existed to form Conservative Associations, in order that the efforts of the Destructives might be broadly met and defeated, and the evils of' a Government, such as the present, properly exposed; and more particularly it was necessary when one whose name was intimately connected with questions concerning Ireland, was allowed to interfere with the administration of affairs in that unhappily agitated country and even to nominate its most responsible officers. Resolutions and declarations, expressive of the loyalty of I he meet- ing, and their attachment to the existing institutions of the land, were carried, and an Address to the same effect was voted to be pre- sented to his MAJESTY, which received the signatures of those attending the meeting. Among those who addressed the meeting were— Sir John Mordaunt, Bart., the Conservative Member of South Warwickshire, George Lucy, Esq., H. C. Wise, Esq., W. Staunton, Esq., J. M. Boultbee, Esq., J. Fullerton, Esq., F. Mills, Esq., Hon. James Hewitt, J. R. B. Cave, Esq. There was scarcely a landowner of the southern portion of the county absent, exclusive of those of violent Radical principles. Several hundred persons enrolled their names as members, and the meeting separated. In a village near London, says an Essex paper, there lived a gen- tleman named Beer, who married a lady named Goodale, his coach- man's name was Gin, and his gardener's name was Waters, who- occasionally acted as footman behind his carriage. One evening at a party Mr. and Mrs. Porter were anxiously waiting for a conveyance- home, when Mr. Beer kindly offered them a seat in his carriage; this being accepted, Beer, Goodale, and Porter were safely and pleasantly conveyed to their separate homes by Gin and \ 1 ater. We understand that Braliam and Yates have taken the Colosseum, in the Regent's Paik, which they intend to open on hit Monday, with a series of novel entertainments. An unusual number of valuable horses have been shipped at Dover within the last few days for the Continent, it is said under an appre- hension of a prohibitory enactment to be put into inimediate l'orce.

By the late JOHN BELL, Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh, & c. Second Edition, corrected and enlarged. " The subject on Italy we imagined had been thoroughly exhausted; and, eminent as were the talents which distinguished Mr. Bell's professional career, we were prepared to expect little from his pen beyond a few critical remarks. But we know not how it was, the preface, so modestly, so touchingly written by his editor, his widow, led us insensibly on, and we were anxious to see how he commenced his tour."— Page 1. " The justness of thought, the sensibility and philosophic spirit of this ex- ordium promised an itinerary of no mediocre description. Mr. Bell's language is vigorous, terse, and pure; his lights and shadows are disposed with a masterly hand; bis page, like a mirror, reflects the scene in its natural order and colour. He looked around him with the eye of a poet, and he seemed to forget his suffer- ings from health, when revelling in those romantic dreams, which when duly chastened, andtouGhed with a spirit of devotion, shed such a charm on existence. Take as an instance his first evening visit to the Cathedral of Milan, page 57. Take also the Bridge of Pavia, the only description realizing the impressions of that enchanting spot, page 80. Led by such a guide as Mr. Bell, we traverse the beaten road of Italy with new delight; and we know of no work to which we eould refer for such fascinating descriptions of landscapes and manners as are to he found in this volume. For instance, where shall we find descriptions so powerful and affecting, such as his profession of a nun? We regret that this episode is too long for insertion; we substitute for it one of his nights in Flo- rence, cvhich we venture to say is without any parallel in any composition in prose or poetry. Mr. Bell's observations on Rome are inspired by all the choicest associations of classical antiquity. The chanting of the ' Miserere' has long been celebrated, and a thousand times described by tourists ; the following magical representation is worth the whole of them put together. The description of Easter Sunday is still more magnificent."— New Monthly Review. Naples:— Printed by Fibreno; for John Rodwell, New Bond- street, London.

THE KING held a Levee at St. James's on Wednesday, and Her MAJESTY a Drawing- Room on Thursday, which was most numerously attended. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE has arrived in London. * A most extraordinary circumstance has occurred, upon which, with our avowed feelings towards Lord MELBOURNE, we wish at present to say as little as is consistent with our duty towards our readers. The Marquess WELLESLEY has resigned the LORD CHAMBERLAINSHIP ; and, as everybody has heard, and believes, has assigned as a reason for doing so, the undisguised influence of Mr. O'CONNELL in, or we might perhaps rather say, over, the present Administration. In answer to a question from Lord LONDONDERRY in the House of Lords on Friday, Lord MELBOURNE admitted the resignation, but denied the reason said to have been given bv the Noble Marquess. This denial is a most curious fact; because we happen to know that Lord AVELLESLEY gave the same reason for his resignation as it is said he gave liis MAJESTY, to more than one person of the very highest consideration at the Drawing- room on Thursday; nay, we believe we may venture to say, that the Marchioness AVEL- 3. ESLEY had frequently spoken on the subject, in general society, on that day, and the day before. The Morning Chronicle talks of the " lie being disposed of," but if we are rightly informed, Lord WELLESLEY has recorded the reasons for his resignation in writing. If it should be so, it will prore to Lord MELBOURNE that he should be more cautious in risking a leputation, which has in the O'CONNELL case been a little damaged from farther injury. We firmly believe in the original statement of Lord AVEL- LESLEY'S reasons for throwing up his office. Any man who sees the tyrannical obstinacy with which Mr. O'CONNELL remains seated on the Treasury Bench, will be quite sure— cordially as Mr. SPRING RICE hates him— that neither Mr. SPRING RICE nor Lord MELBOURNE himself, dare warn him off that " manor.'' He is their master, and if anything still further were wanting to decide that point, where is it to be found more strikingly than in the fact, that, when Lord MUL- « RAVE on Monday made his first appearance in Dublin in the character of LORD LIEUTENANT— He— his Excellency, the KING'S representative, was preceded in his procession to the castle by a green banner, upon which was inscribed, in bright letters, " DAN'S LIEUTENANT." In the personal praise of Lord MULGRAVE we readily join with Lord MELBOURNE, and we are quite ready to join with anybody else in the personal praise of Lord MELBOURNE himself; but they are all in thraldom— for the sake of office and of income ( for the present, with a few exceptions, may justly be called a pauper Administration) they consent to he the creatures of a demagogue whom they have themselves denounced from the Throne. Their state is not gracious. In all directions popular feel- ing is against them. Inverness has by this time rejected their nominee, and the popular Colonel GEORGE ANSON has abandoned his attempt upon Staffordshire in despair. CUPID, "" gentle God of soft persuasion," seems to have failed in his metier; and unless upon his projected tea and coffee, and almonds and raisin system, he can succeed in tipping his shafts with gold, is likely to remain as foreign to the House - of Commons, as he is to the affairs of his office. Lord CONYNGHAM, it is understood, succeeds Lord WEL- I. ESLEY as Lord Chamberlain. We have not heard with any - certainty who is to be Postmaster- General in his Lordship's room. Mr. SPRING RICE and Mr. ROEBUCK had a " turn up" in the House of Commrtns on Friday, in which the CHAN- CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER showed symptoms of anger, but of gentlemanlike anger. It is impossible that these aristo- cratic Democrats can go on with the ambitious Destructives. Mr. ROEBUCK, some weeks since, expressed a very just opi- nion as to the evident absurdity of making personal quarrels out of Parliamentary discussions, and so everything went smoothly, in that House. Lord BROUGHAM, in the other House, is getting particularly fidgetty; he was up fourteen times on Monday, which is no trifle in the House of Lords, ' even for a rising man ; and up to Friday the ascending power " Was still strong upon him. He tries all modes of attack upon the Ministry : anger— conciliation— friendship, and enmity; they are all alike unavailing. He is not considered safe, and certainly if what we hear of his abrupt visit to Windsor one day last week, when by the unaccountable remissness of the proper authorities he obtained admission to the presence of his Illustrious " Correspondent by the general post," be true, the caution of his Lordship's late friends is eminently praise worthy. We must of ourselves say, that his Lordship's exhi- bitions in the august assembly from which he has expressed so anxious a desire to dismember himself, are painful in the • extreme, even to his sincerest friends. We have heard two or three anecdotes with respect to the Devonshire election which is past, and that for Stroud which is to come, which we know to be true, and which really deserve a place in any paper in the world. The last we give first:— Colonel Fox, the late Member for Stroud, left London for that loyal borough in company with Lord JOHN RUSSELL in the mail- coach, in which vehicle they travelled very comfort- ably for several miles, until they picked up a third passenger. Lord JOHN, it seems, was enveloped in his cloak, and snugly deposited in oue corner of the coach; Colonel Fox sitting on the opposite seat. The stranger, some time after his - entrance, began a conversation with the gallant Colonel— polities soon formed the subject of discussion, and it turned - out that the new- comer was a Conservative. He expressed his opinions in " round set terms," and, perhaps, might have bestowed some maledictions upon Lord JOHN RUSSELL himself. Such was the effect of the conversation, that Colonel Fox changed his place, and took his seat on the opposite side of the coaclL, next the illustrious sponsor of the Heform Bill, and then a parlance began which, as Lord JOHN was desirous that his observations should be little heard, and his person little recognized, was carried on in soft whispers, inaudible to the stranger. The Conservative watched this proceeding, and whenever a gleam of light fell into the mail, he endeavoured to ascer- tain what manner of person it was who was enshrouded in the corner. lie listened; and the odds and ends of the conversation which he heard made him more anxious to he better acquainted with the subjects under discussion — in fact he had made up his mind;— and when the mail stopped for supper, or whatever refreshment it might be, the well- meaning Conservative desired an interview with the landlady, and confided to her his conviction that the fine dandy Whig, who had cut. his conservatism short, was actu- ally engaged in carrying oft' an heiress of weak intellect, in order to many her for her money. We are told seriously, that the landlady " shuddered at the gross idea," and that Lord JOHN RUSSELL was obliged, not only to prove to " mine hostess's satisfaction that he was not a young lady, but to declare whom he was, before the indignant matron would suffer him to proceed. In consequence of this contretemps, the Lord and the Colonel came back to town on the outside of the Cheltenham coach. The next, perhaps, is better— but it is true, and equally true with the former:— Lord JOHN had unsuccessfully canvassed a farmer in Devon- shire. He had promised his vote to PARKER, and it was all of no use. Lord JOHN thought that his newly- achieved wife, who is a most fascinating person, might succeed where he had so particularly failed. Accordingly her Ladyship visited the farmer, and solicited his vote. " It's all o' no use, my Lady," said the man—" I'm zure if anything would make ine change, it wou'd be your Lady- ship : but I can't— I can't in conscience." " Why ?" said her Ladyship. " I ha' promised t'other," said the farmer, " and I can't break my promise." " You shouldn't have spoken so decidedly," said my Lady. " Aye," replied the farmer, " that's just, it— if you had seen t'other chap first, you'd never have had Lord JOHN." These are facts. In Bedfordshire, we hear that there have been riots— a workhouse has been burned down, and the people declare that the Whigs have set the first example of violating the right of property, by changing the Poor Laws, and that it is now their turn. We last week exhibited, as indeed the police reports have since done, the shameful excitements of the Destructives to some acts of desperate violence against Sir ROBERT PEEL. These excitements are laughed at by the Liberal Press. What would they think if we were to say upon this plea of an appropriation of property set up by the Bedfordshire paupers, " We hope they will not think of touching Woburn." The domestic news of the week has received a wonderful stimulus by the elopement of the beautiful daughter of General Sir COLQUHOUN GRANT ( during the gallant Officer's absence at Poole, for the representation of which place he is a candi- date), with Mr. BIIINSLEY SHERIDAN, son of the all- accom- plished TOM SHERIDAN, and brother of Mrs. BLACKWOOD, Mrs. NORTON, and Lady SEYMOUR. They say that more than one or two accessories have been engaged in the scheme, which has been carried into effect with great dexterity. What the consequences may be— involving, as it is reported they do, one of the most important members of the Government— we do not pretend to guess. IT has been universally stated, is universally believed, and, we believe, has not been contradicted, that Lord MOR- PETH, in oue of his speeches to what Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE calls the " promiscuous multitude" before the hustings, during the late election in Yorkshire, stated that news had arrived from Devonshire, and that he rejoiced to say Lord JOHN RUSSELL was three hundred a- liead of his opponent. We cannot imagine this could have happened ; but, we must say, it would be highly satisfactory to the people of Ireland generally, and those of Dublin particularly, to hear that the history is fabulous, before his Lordship arrives in the Irish metropolis for a permanency. As a proof of the influence which Doctor MALTBY, the ex- traordinarily- elected Bishop of CHICHESTER, possesses in the way of liberality, in bis own diocese, we have just merely to call the attention of the reader to these facts:— Mr. J. FUL- LAGAR, a Unitarian Minister, and personal friend of the Lord Bishop, has been elected President of the Court of Guardians in Chichester. Mr. DENDY, a Unitarian, has been elected Treasurer; and Mr. THOMAS CLARKE, a Unitarian, Church- warden. To those who know the principles of the Right Reverend Prelate, these circumstances cannot fail to be par- ticularly edifying. THE conclusion of the correspondence between Mr. O'CON- NELL and Col. DAWSON DAMER, may be considered quite epigrammatic. It certainly is the point— the climax— the sting iu the tail. TO THE EDITOR. " Upper Grosvenor- street, Tuesday, May 12. " Sir,— Mr. O'Connell having closed his correspondence with me, I beg you will be good enough to insert his answer to my letter requiring of him the envelope of the one which I put into the post on the 22d of April, and which he affirms to have borne the post- mark of the 27tn, and to have been received by him on the 29th. " As he is particular about dates, I take this method of informing him, that his letter dated the 8th of May was put into the post on the 10th, and that the cover which / had fortunately kept, bears the Dublin post- mark of that day.— I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " G. D. DAMER. " Merrion- souare, May 8. " Sir,— As yon have been pleased to publish your last letter to me before I could possibly reply to it, I do, under all the existing cir- cumstances, decline altogether ( but without intending any personal offence) any further correspondence of any kind on the subject con- tained in any of vour former letters. 1 have the honour to be, your obedient servant," " D. O'CONNELL. " To the Hon. D. Damer." Nothing can be more perfect than Mr. O'CONNELL'S way of getting rid of the affair, except the letter of Col. DAMEII, which contains more in four lines than some letters do in as many pages. WE have to- day lo announce the death of Mr. NASH, which took place on Wednesday at East Cowes Castle. He has for a long time been suffering from an acute disorder, un- der which he has at length sunk into the repose of death. It has been the lot of Mr. NASH to endure in the latter part of his life much persecution. Certain political patriots, de- sirous of exhibiting their animosity towards the late KING, availed themselves of the opportunity of gratifying their mali- cious desire to injure his MAJESTY'S memory by attacking, as the spontaneous designs andacts of Mr. NASH, what were in fact merely fulfilments of Royal commands. From these, and other attempts to defame and injure him, Sir. NASH, however, suc- cessfully defended himself, without furthering the objects of his persecutors by justifying himself at the expense of his kind and gracious Master; and although the completion of his last work, the Palace at Piinlico, was transferred to other hands, every allegation made against the stability and security of that building, which was subjected to the severest and most extraordinary examinations by other architects, was found to be equally groundless with those made against his conduct in other cases. With regard to Mr. NASH'S professional talents, tastes st> widely vary, and so essentially differ, that it is hopeless to expect anything like unanimity of opinion upon that point ^ but we will venture to say, that no man that ever existed in- this country, ever produced such vast and splendid improve- ments in that part of the metropolis which was submitted to his care, as Mr. NASH has done. Let the reader recollect the huddled mass of wretched streets and houses which, 20 years- ago, covered the site of Regent- street, the Quadrant, and Waterloo- place; let the reader recollect the still more wretched courts and alleys, dens of infamy and haunts of thieves, which, maze- like, spread themselves from St. Martin's Church to the neighbourhood of Covent- garden; let him now look upon the ranges of buildings and the handsome streets which occupy their places. Let him, if not satisfied with these proofs— not only of taste and judgment, but of indefatigable labour and mental exertion, in making and concluding the almost innumerable arrangements for these great and beneficial changes, involving as they did the interests of of hundreds of individuals— let the reader, we say, turn his eye to that magnificent adjunct of London, the Regent's Park, now one of the healthiest and gayest of the public walks and drives, a creation of the mind of Mr. NASH— look at the manner in which the interior of St. James's Park was, iu a few months, converted from a swampy meadow into a luxurious garden, and then, let the reader ask himself whether the metropolis is or is not indebted to the taste and genius of the much- traduced object of this notice ? The architectural taste of Mr. NASH has often been ques- tioned as to the elevations of the buildings in Regent street. The great design for the formation of this magnificent street originated with Mr. NASH; but the designs for the particular buildings were those of the various architects under whose special directions they were built, and with which Mr. NASH'S only concern was to ascertain that they were properly con- structed. Of Mr. NASH'S unbounded love and encouragement of art, his splendid gallery and its ornaments, are of themselves sufficient proofs; we believe, however, that a still more valuable evidence of those feelings is to be found iu his muni- ficent liberality towards artists, who, under various circum- stances, needed patronage and support. In private life Mr. NASH was a warm and sincere friend ; his mind, active and comprehensive as it was, was singularly natural and simple; his conception was quick and clear; his thoughts were ori- ginal, and his conversation was both instructive and pre- eminently agreeable. He was, in fact, a most extraordinary man; and his loss to those who really knew and appreciated his merits, his worth, and his various estimable qualities, will be long and deeply felt. AVE understand that the Court of Directors of the East India Company have transmitted to the Board of Controul, a remonstrance against the abrupt removal of Lord II E\- TES- BURY, couched in the strongest terms, to which no answer has been returned. It is said, indeed, that it has been " laid aside and locked up." We presume the subject will be noticed in the House of Commons to- morrow or Tuesday. THE Right Honourable EDWARD ELLICE and the Mayor of Coventry have been engaged in a correspondence, in which, as is usually the case, the " patriot" gets considerably the worst of it. We regret that we have not space for its inser- tion complete— some part of it we cannot omit giving. It appears that Mr. ELLICE, in alarm for his seat— an alarm which, perhaps, as much as anything else, has contri- buted to his formation of the self- denying resolution to ab- stain from office— went down to Coventry, and having, while haranguing the people from an Inn window, been interrupted by a portion of his auditors, who, perhaps, did not duly ap- preciate the professions of a gentleman, whose strenuous ad- vocacy of free- trade principles has mainly contributed to their impoverishment and distress, exclaimed, that " he durst say that they were sent thither from the Mayor's par- lour." The Mayor, Mr. ELD, who was not present at this haranguing, but who is a gentleman of high honour and un blemished character, and " most reputably known in the Cihf over which he at present presides, having ascertained that Mn ELLICE made use of these words, wrote to Mr. ELLICE, de- nying that he had any connexion with the persons who inter- rupted him, and pointing out the indelicacy of which he, as a Privy Councillor of the KING, had been guilty, in " casting wanton and unfounded aspersions upon the authorities at present constituted in that City by Royal charter." To this letter Mr. ELLICE wrote a reply, in which, after explaining to Mr. ELD that because in the years 1S19 and 1826, gin was supplied to an election mob in Coventry by an Alderman, " it was not unnatural to infer, that the in- terruption he met with in 1835, was caused by persons sent from the MAYOR'S parlour. Mr. ELLICE adds, " I am sorry, however, that I made the observation, since it was NOT JUS- TIFIED, in this instance, by the fact.'''' Mr. ELLICE then proceeds to exercise his talent of vituperation against the Cor- poration of the City which he has the great good fortune at present to represent; and justifies his attacks by a reference to the Report of the Commissioner of Municipal Inquiry. To this letter Mr. ELD returned the following answer:— Coventry, May 5,1825. Sir,— I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of Friday last, and to express my satisfaction at the readiness with which you admit your regret at having made an accusation against the Magistracy for this City, which was not justified by the fact. At the same time you must allow me to say, that those hasty inferences concerning their opponents, and that bullying tone towards them, i& which candidates may perhaps be sometimes permitted to indulge themselves, are wholly unbecoming any one appearing before the com- munity of which he is the Representative. Visiting this City as you did on the recent occasion, after a contest which iu your absence was more peaceable and orderly than any one ever remembered here, I repeat, that it was not consistent with the station in which you appeared, with the duty of a Privy Councillor, with the calm dignity of a States- man, or with any regard to the social and civic relations of all your constituents, to revive the angry passions of former political contests, by unjustly directing ( and that upon mere suspicion) the vehemence cf your invectives against the legally constituted authorities. However individually I might desire to avoid any further corres- pondence on subjects so lial3e to be distorted by the prejudices of party, 1 cannot, in justice to the Body over which I at present pre- side, omit to notice certain parts of your communication m which you. call upon me to refute those charges against the present members of the Corporation which you state to be corroborated by the Municipal Report. Although that Report is the production of a person whose previous appearance here as a partisan ought, if impartiality had been regarded, to have prevented his being sent to Coventry as a Commissioner;. _ yet his Report not only does not corroborate the charges yon have reite June 14. j o h n b u l l ; 191 hited, but is directly at variance irilh them on the points affecting the present members of the Corporation. You state that the improve- ment in the conduct of the Corporation is " partial, very limited, and such as will not induce their fellow- citizens to place the least confidence in them.*' The I Commissioner asserts that it is " marked, decided, and has revived public confidence to a considerable extent." You assert that this improvement did not commence till after the visit of the Commissioners in 1833. He dates its commence- ment long before that event. You say, that " if in some respects the characters are changed, the Body," in the whole, has undergone little purification." He reports, " that persons in every respect better qualified have been introduced, that the charities are more impartially distributed, and justice more satisfactorily administered." A consi- derable portion of the expenditure of the Corporate funds from 1831 to 1834, upon which you animadvert, was incurred for the discharge of debts previously contracted; the conclusion, therefore, to which von have arrived about it was founded upon an erroneous assumption. With respect to your last quotation from the Report of the Municipal Commissioners, as to the accounts previous to 1831, " which either • were not kept at all, or cannot now be forthcoming," if 1 had had the slightest concern in them ( which I had not), their publication should, if possible, be contemporaneous with that of a detailed statement of the application of the large sums of money said to have been remitted to Colchester by a Secretary of the Treasury, and to Devonshire by a Right Hon. Member for Coventry. The Report of the Commissioners of Charities to which you also refer, is not at present before the public, except through the extracts which the Municipal Commissioners have given. When the whole otitis published, I am confident it will bear testimony to the zeal with which abuses have been corrected by the present Corporators, and to the endeavours which have been made for some years past to rectify those abuses which originated when the Corporation was ex- clusively It'biggish, and when that Body was opposed by the Blues ( then truly so called) entirely on the grounds of its hostility to the Established Church and the Monarchical principle. As regards the other observations made by you, I have to remark that you are incorrect in saying " most of the'men who belonged to the Corporation in 182(> still remain." Your unfortunate absence from Coventry, except at periods of popular excitement, prevents yon from being aware of the changes which mortality and other circum- stances effect amongst your constituents, or you would have known that only about a third of the irresent body were members of it in 1826, and that of the seven persons who compose that portion three are now decided partisans of your own. Of the ten Magistrates of that period, seven are now beyond the reach of human resentment, and of those to whom you more particularly allude, two have long ago been in their graves, and the survivor has signalised his repentance, but not obtained your forgiveness, by his entire devotion to your service. It is, however, needless to discuss charges against individuals, whether living or deceased, which have already been investigated and decided by a competent tribunal. With respect to the reports which have been made to you of the conduct of the Corporation at the last election, it cannot be necessary for me to reply to a charge which accuses them only of " prudence and activity." I had never before heard of any attempt to impute blame to them on that occasion, or of any dissent from the general approbation expressed to me both of the arrangements for the pre- servation of the public peace, and of the quiet, order, and good tem- per with which the contest was* conducted. Whatever changes may be on the eve of taking place in Municipal administrations, I trust they will not be founded on the denunciation and degradation of any persons who have faithfully discharged the duties confided to them, and whose only offence may be that of having openly expressed their contemptfor men who screen their party mo- tives and personal revenge under the pretence of attacking a system, and not individuals. 1 hope the wisdom of Parliament will prevent such changes from being so contrived as to contribute to the strength of the party by whom they are proposed, or carried into effect in such amanner as to weaken the just prerogatives of the ancient Monarchy of this country.— I have the honour to remain, Sir, your obedient humble servant, GEO. ELD. Our readers, who know what Whiggery is, will easily anti- cipate the contents of Mr. ELLICE'S answer. The Bight Honourable Gentleman begs to be excused from farther pur- suing ( he controversy. A more complete exposure— not only of injudieiousness, want of temper and tact, but of the common information absolutely necessary to the discussion of a subject, with which Mr. ELLICE ought to have been per- fectly conversant— never was made. To Mr. ELD, not only the Corporation of Coventry, but every man who litis a vote for the City, is under high obligations, for the clear, able, and spirited manner in which he has put before them the igno- rance of one of their representatives of everything connected with them, and the total carelessness of their interests which that ignorance necessarily betrays. WE have seen iu progress a new III?., which, we believe, is to be published to- morrow. The subject is the Coronation Procession of HENRY V., in the character of which Monarch, Earl MULGRAVE looks haughtily and virtuously graceful: among the most prominent of the by- standers is the Most Noble the Marquess WELLESLEY as Valstaffl who is ad- dressing his friend COCKEUELL in those pithy words—" Mas- ter Shallow, I owe you a thousand pounds!" LORD DENMAN, who certainly deserves every mark of honour, and increase of profit which his Majesty King WIL- LIAM THE FOURTH may be persuaded to bestow upon him, has been made Speaker of the House of Lords, with a salary of four thousand pounds per annum. His Lordship is, of course, obliged to leave the Court of King's Bench in time to take his seat on the Woolsack, and as on Tuesday last the Court did not rise until seven o'clock, the suitors were de- prived of the services of the Lord Chief Justice for about three hours. Then, the Seal is in Commission, and three Judges are em- ployed to do the duty of one, and are paid for doing it, in addition to their own salaries as Judges, contrary, as we be- lieve, to a pledge given to the contrary ; thus, although they cannot sit in two places at once, and therefore only do the same quantity of duty— as to time— that they did before, they get double pay. Then, in the case of appeals, when there is an appeal against a decision of the Vice- Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls and Judge BOSANQUET sit and hear it; and then, when there comes an appeal against a decision ofthe Master of the Rolls, up he gets and out he goes, and in coines SirLAUNCELOT SHAD WELL to hear that— the Commou Law Judge hearing all, while his seat in his own Court remains vacant. Upon the separation of the judicial and political characters of the LORD CHANCELLOR much is to be said, and much has been said, on both sides. One thing certainly appears some- what anomalous— the Common Law Judges are most constitu- tionally rendered immoveable from their offices, even by the Crown itself, in order that they may be placed beyond the pow er of any influence " from without"— yet these Judges are assisted and controlled in their decisions by Juries, and by the opinions of their colleagues; while the CHANCELLOR, the only functionary in the kingdom upon whose sole personal decree the fates and fortunes of the people depend, is, by his political relation with the Government, exposed to the opera- tions of an influence which, if it never do prevail in the forma- tion of a decision, still evidently exists ; and is the only im- moveable Judge in the country: the causes which come before him being proverbially and notoriously the longest and most durable of any which are originated in our Courts. Whatever the minor ills arid inconveniences may be, which are likely to arise from the division of the duties ofthe high and important office, that of changing the Judge in the pro- gress of a Chancery suit seems calculated to outweigh them; and if that be not sufficient to induce a serious attention to the subject, the fact, that the political character of the CHAN- CELLOR'S office at this moment deprives the country of the services of one of two of the greatest equity lawyers that ever lived— Lord LYNDHURST and Sir EDWARD SUGDEN— must, we should think, be convincing. Mr. HUME looks at the thing with a more scrutinizing eye as to the money part of the affair. In consequence of the changes of Government, we have now no less than five Lord Chancellors receiving their retiring pensions— Lord ELDON, Lord MANNERS, Lord LYNDHURST, Sir EDWARD SUGDEN, and Lord BROUGHAM. The opinion we have here offered is iu accordance with that of Lord BROUGHAM ( after having increased and secured the retiring pension for himself), and of Mr. WHITTLE HAR- VEY, and several other great law authorities ; but we suspect, for that very reason, there must be some much more serious practical objection to the separation than we are aware of. If there be not, then it is perfectly clear that the CHANCELLOR being divested of his political character, and the office being rendered permanent, one of the retiring pensions might be immediately saved, and the country gratified with a compe- tent Equity Judge, by the appointment of either of the two distinguished persons whose names we have already men- tioned. We have, nevertheless, heard that Sir CHARLES PEPYS is to be Chancellor. THE insubordination of the Court of Common Council still continues, although the LORD MAYOR most judiciously called a meeting of the Court of Aldermen, with the Law Officers of the City, iu order to take their advice upon the course his Lordship had felt it due to himself and the dignity of the office he fills, to pursue. By this Council his Lordship's conduct was approved, and sanctioned by the professional opinions of the Law Officers. Still the Common Council contend for the right of introducing whatever subjects they choose into the Court. On Thursday a meeting ot the members of the Com- mon Council was held, when a resolution was passed by the persons present, to prepare a case for consideration, in order to bring the matter to an issue. If the LORD MAYOR suc- ceeds in bringing back the Court of Common Council to its legitimate duty of transacting the business of the City of Lon- don, instead of wasting its time iu absurd debates and silly discussions upon matters of which it knows nothing, and which iu no degree concern them, he will render a greater service to the citizens than any of his predecessors have done for many years. If he fail, it will not be for want of firm- ness, high- spirit, and good feeling. THE following letters are extremely worth attending to: the statements they contain will, we think, enlighten the yet mystified portion of the people. We cannot believe that the Duke of NORFOLK himself actively participated in the pro- ceedings described, but it certainly behoves his Grace to be somewhat cautious as to whom he delegates his power and authority:— ARUNDEL ADDRESS. TO THE EDITOa OK THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Sir,— An Address to the King, calling oil his Majesty to refuse his sanction to the principle of Lord John Russell's Resolution, has just been got up in this town. The following facts, connected with its history, will enable the public to estimate its real value. It describes itself as the Address of " the Inhabitants;" but emanates, in reality, from the Corporation; and though it makes the Church the stalking horse of its declarations, may be regarded in fact as an expiring effort to uphold the abuses of the municipal system, and avert those effectual and searching reforms to which a liberal Administration must be irrevocably pledged. It was first announced to the inhabitants by the bellman of the town ; and it first appeared in the appropriate custody of the parish con- stable at the public corn- store. Here during the course of Thurs- day last, it was signed, with one honourable exception, by all the members of the Corporation, including one ( the churchwarden of Polling) who has no habitation either in the town or parish; by the vicar, the churchwardens, the sexton, and the parish beadles ; by the curate of a neighbouring parish and his three sons, who had just arrived from school for the holidays; by Master Holmes, Master Hopkins, and Master Wardroper, boys of fifteen or sixteen, and sons of members of the Corporation; and by some thirty or forty other individuals, who were too sensible of the honour of presenting their names, even though inscribed by an officious de- puty, before his Majesty, to suffer the opportunity to escape. Among the latter, however, there were some more honest than ambitious, who had affixed their signatures to the document under a false idea of its object. They had been led to believe that it was a petition for the repeal of the Poor Law Bill; and with this impression, and without reading it, had not hesitated to give it the sanction of their names. But in the course of the day they wore luckily undeceived, and, hastening to the corn- store, four of them immediately erased their signatures, and left the blotted in- strument to testify to the deception that had been practised on them. This, of course, alarmed the managers of the affair. To increase their dismay a counter- address appeared in the afternoon, and took its station on the same table as the other. It was now evident that the fate of the first address was sealed. After languishing a few- more hours in public, it was placed beyond the reach of further erasure in the private custody of Mr. Henry Da\ is, ex- Mayor, and by that gentleman and Mr. Henry Lear, a creature of certain mem- bers of the Corporation, was, during the course of Saturday, carried from house to liouse for the purpose of obtaining the signatures of the inhabitants. Ofthe number of names thus procured ( though it must have been trifling), the secrecy of the proceeding prevents my forming an exact notion ; but of the means employed to extort sig- natures I can speak with confidence; and, as a specimen, I subjoin the following fact, which can be proved by the testimony of one ot the parties concerned. It was, I believe, on Saturday, that Mr. H. Lear called with the Address on a poor man named William Gale. Gale objected to lend his signature, and Mr. Lear immediately inquired whether the house in which he ( Gale) was living did not belong to Mr. William Holmes ? The answer was in the affirmative; and Lear then pro- ceeded to inform Gale that Mr. W. Holmes and the other members of the Corporation had signed the Address ; that his refusal to attach his name would be highly offensive to his landlord; and that it would expose him to the danger of being turned out of his house It was in vain that Gale pleaded that he owed no rent; Mr. Lear was impor- tunate and positive, and Gale was, at length, unwillingly induced to sign his name. I offer no comment, Mr. Editor, on these facts. If such be the advocates and supporters of Sir Robert Peel, I can only say, " God help the mark! " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Arundel, April22, 1835. REFORMER. P. S. It is hardly necessary for me to add that the counter or Libe- ral Address was quickly signed by the majority of the gentry and tradesmen, and also by many of the artisans of the borough. This letter is circumstantial enough, and although signed Reformer, which would of itself be enough to invalidate the facts it contains, is authenticated by the name of the writer, Mr. WILLIAM DUKE, law- steward to the Duke of NORFOLK, and son- in- law of the steward of his Grace. That which j follows is a plain statement from Mr. WILLIAM HOLMES, a most respectable inhabitant of Arundel, and merely requires a reading :— TO THE EOITOB OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Arundel, May 7, 1835. Sir,— Your paper of the 27th ultimo has this morning been put into my hands, with a letter from your office, stating that the letter signed " " Relormer" therein was forwarded to you by Mr. Wm. Duke, ofthis place. That gentleman is the law steward here of his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, and son- in- law to the head steward, Mr. Watkins. The letter states that I had a tenant named Wm. Gale, and that he had been induced to attach his name to an address to his Majesty unwillingly. Now, Sir, I have no tenant of that name, nor does any such name, or the name of Gale, at all appear to the Address; and as to any one having unwillingly attached his name to it, there is, I beleive, not the slightest foundation for such an assertion. There are various other mis- statements in the letter, and the postscript states that the counter or liberal Address was quickly signed by the majority of the gentry and tradesmen. Now, Sir, mark the liberality attending these Addresses, and the truth of this postscript. The first Address ( of which I send you underneath a copy) was openly proclaimed to be lying for signatures in the public Corn Market. Whilst there, it was at first rapidly and readily signed by many persons unsolicited ( none so young as fifteen or sixteen years, as alleged iu the letter); and some of Lord Surrey's troopers or gen- tlemen veomen put their names to it. As soon as this was heard of by the Liberals, the liberal Address above alluded to was procured. At the head of three of the columns of it stands the Duke's priest, his steward, and steward's son; and thus fortified, Mr. William Duke, his Grace's solicitor, night and day seeks for signatures throughout the place ; and so late as between " nine and ten o'clock was at the beer- house for that purpose. After many days' exertions, about 107 names were procured, out ofa population of near 2,900 persons, to this liberal Address, which has been presented to his Majesty. If these Liberals had done no more, or " Reformer" had not so much perverted the facts attending these Addresses, you would not have been troubled herein by me; but, Sir, so it is, that those of Lord Surrey's troop ( a paid Serjeant amongst them), who had, unsolicited, signed the loyal Address, were told " that his Lordship was a Catholic, and would not like their signatures being to the Address," and induced to erase their names, and so " blotted the instrument,'' as to render it unfit for presentation to his Majesty. " Reformer " is one of these troopers oryeomen, but he did not put his name to the loyal Address, though near 100 persons of the first respectability in the place did so, unsolicited. " 1 offer fno further comment, Mr. Editor, on these facts;" but if the loyal Protestant paid soldier is to be made to erase his name from a loyal Address, to which he voluntarily placed it, because his commander is a Catholic, Gon HELP us I As you have been pleased to insert Mr. Duke's letter to you, I trust you will do me and the public the justice of inserting this. I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, WM. HOLMES. A MOST splendid dinner was given on Monday by the most influential merchants, bankers, & e., ofthe City of Lon- don, to Sir ROBERT PEEL, at Merchant Tailor's Hall. AVe have no room for a detail of the splendour with which the banquet was arrayed, nor the enthusiasm with which the illustrious Statesman was received; we are obliged to confine ourselves to the speech which Sir ROBERT made after his health was drank, to which we call the earnest attention of our readers. Sir ROBERT PEEL rose and addressed the meeting:— " Gentlemen, with the deep feelings of pride and satisfaction by which I must necessarily be animated, there does mix, as you may well believe, one painful feeling that springs from the consciousness that any language of mine must be totally inadequate to express the intensity of my sensations in addressing you upon the present occa- sion. ( Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, 1 well know that these are the trite and ordinary excuses made by all speakers upon occasions like the present, but if you will only place yourselves in my situation, if you will only recollect that I was alone, as it were, in this company, that I remained seated while all the rest were standing, that I re- mained silent while all the rest of you were enthusiastically vociferating your generous approbation, that I was conscious that all your kindly attention, and consideration, and deep feeling, were concentrated upon myself,— if you will recollect that I am a public man, that I am a man of the people, that I derive, I will not saj' my chief, my only strength from public applause and public confidence,, that I am moreovera man who lo. ks for no reward for public services excepting only public approbation—( loud cheers)— who aspires to no- dignity except in all honesty and purity the good opinion of his fel- low- subjects— the sound good opinion I mean, as distinguished from the paltry and fleeting popularity which may be gained at the mo- ment, even by the weakest and most contemptible, in pandering or succumbing to faction —( loud cheers)— or even in more meekly and gently attempting at once to flatter and inflame the people's preju- dices ; ( loud cheers;)— I say, then, that if you will take all these considerations and circumstances into your attention, you may be well able to believe, that although the excuse I have offered you for my deficiency iu power adequately to respond to your great kind- ness may be trite, though it may be the ordinary phraseology of speakers in complimentary assemblages ; yet upon this peculiar occasion it is perfectly consistent with truth, that I am unable to do justice to my feelings, in pouring forth to you my heartfelt thanks for the honour which you have conferred upon me. ( Loud and long cheering.) " But let me not be suspected of idle egotism. Let it not be thought that I have been so misled by the suggestions of personal vanity as to attribute to myself, or any deserts of mine, the origin of this meeting, or the feelings which you have this evening expressed. I agree with our worthy chairman in thinking that the address which I received from so large a body of the merchants, bankers, and traders of this city, was a sufficient compliment and reward for any services and exertions of mine. It asserted the principle by which I was animated : it bore with it the true reward of public services— the ap- probation of my fellow- citizens. ( Loud oheers.) I wanted no other demonstration of public feeling—( hear)— and if I had regarded this meeting as merely a demonstration of personal compliment, 1 should have almost discouraged it, as being, after the address, 6 superfluous token of public esteem. ( Cheers.) No, Sir, the object of this meet- ing is a demonstration of public feeling in the metropolis. ( Loud cheers.) I do think that public interests may be promoted by it. ( Cheers.) I do think that the impulse which has been given from this centre of the commercial world—( cheers)— the vital impulse must thrill to every extremity of the British empire. ( Cheers.) I repeat, Sir, that the throes of this mighty heart must send the whole- some life- blood of sound doctrine and good principle to every remote member of the body corporate of the United Ivindgoin. ( Continued cheering.) Gentlemen, 1 understand that by assembling here to- day you mean to mark your attachment to the ancient institutions of the country, and your firm resolution to maintain those principles, which are interwoven with the safety of those institutions, and the security and prosperity of this empire. ( Cheers,) It was incumbent upon you to come forth in this manner, because you do not happen to have any public recognized organ through whom your sentiments could be expressed. ( Loud cheers.) When Ilook round this great meeting, abounding as it does in wealth— abounding in intelligence— abound- ing in respectability— and reflect that there is not one single member out of the 18 allotted fo:- the metropolitan districts to represent your opinions, I am not surprised that you should resolve to speak for yourselves. Whatever be the numbers here assembled, they might have been almost indefinitely swelled by fresh accessions. The hall has been taxed to the utmost extent of its accommodation, and if there were room for ten times a greater number of gentlemen within these walls we should have had them present. ( Great cheering.) And yet you and your friends had not the good fortune to secure, out of the whole 18, a single representative by whom your opinion 158 E.. " " ? could be spoken, through whom your just and legitimate influence could be exercised in the public councils. ( Loud cheers.) Iu order, therefore, that there should be no m: sconstruction of your silence, you feel it necessary to speak through other organs than those which the new representative system has provided for you ( cheers); and in concurrence with this feeling it is that I come forward to lend my humble countenance to this meeting. ( Great cheering.) " And, gentlemen, it is because this is a public occasion, and be- cause we are met to promote a public object, that you will expect from me some further observations, and some allusions to the state of public affairs. ( Cheers.) Gentlemen, what I shall say will be spoken by me as one of yourselves, not as one anxious for triumph as a party man— still less as a candidate for office. ( Loud and con- tinued cheers.) I shall speak to you as a British subject in a private capacity, feeling a tenfold greater interest in the cause of good govern- ment than in any emoluments or advantages he could possibly derive from office—( great cheering)— a man who has a tenfold greater desire, on public grounds, for the maintenance of the principles he professes and conscientiously believes to be essential to the welfare of the country, than for any benefits, if benefits they can be called, which he could derive from the acquisition of office. ( Enthusiastic cheering.) I believe, indeed, that there is no greater mistake than that people, situated as I happen to be, are so very anxious for office. ( Hear, hear, and laughter.) Some fancy that the wholesome rest of flvery politician is broken by his feverish longing for office. ( Hear, hear, and laughter.) If I were to speak from my own experience, I should tell a different tale. ( Hear.) There is tome, and to many others, nothing in office, so far as mere personal feelings or interests are concerned, to compensate for its labours and its annoyances, aud its deep anxieties, its interruption of domestic repose and happiness. ( Cheers.) Away, then, Sir, with the ridiculous assertion that men who are really qualified for the first trusts of the State, would consent to procure them by any dishonest sacrifice of opinion, to any com- promise of character. ( Long continued cheering.) We hear con- stantly the professions of great alarm about Court intrigue and Court favouritism, aud base coalitions of public men for the promotion of theirprivate ends. The country quite mistakes the real danger in this respect: the danger is, not that public men, fit for public trusts, and worthy of public confidence, will seek office by unworthy means, bnt that they will seek excuses for declining it— will refuse to bear the heavy sacrifices of time, and labour, and repose, which it imposes. ( Long continued cheering.) That office holds out great advantages to the ambitious minds of some, I will not deny; but are there not out of office, equal, if not greater, means of distinction in public life ? ( Cheers.) For myself, in taking office, in submitting to its drudgery,. I was urged by nothing but a sense of publicduty, and by the desire not to shrink from that obligation which every British subject incurs when called upon to serve his King to the utmost of his ability and power. ( Cheers.) I hope that his Majesty has not a more devoted servant than I; but this I can say with truth, that when I entered the King's ser- vice I enteredit with the consciousness that I neither sought nor desired any favour, any honour, any reward which the King has it in his power to bestow. Office is no doubt a legitimate object of ambition. I think it anything but a reflection on a public man to seek it, when he can hold it consistently with his public principles, and when the holding of it will advance those principles ; but speaking for myself,-! repeat that I do not covet It, and that nothing has reconciled me to- it but the imperative sense of public duty. The chief consolation. I have had in holding it, the chief reward I retain on relinquishing it, is the proud reflection that I have had the good fortune of being csn- nected in civil life with that illustrious man, whose fame exceeds that of any other conqueror—( cheers)— a man from whom I never have been one moment estranged by any difference on political subjects, and with whom my connection never has been embittered by the slightest infusion of paltry jealousy. ( Loud cheers.) Iamgratified by the thought, connected as I have been with him in the civil services of the Crown, that I shall have my name transmitted with his to after ages. This is the chief pride, the dearest gratification of my heart. ( Enthusiastic cheers.) " But I feel that I have been straying from the subject immediately before us— the present state of public affairs. Allow me to speak to yon not as a party man, but as one of yourselves, and to submit to you plain opinions in plain language. ( Cheers.) I prefer this, and I am sure so will you, to that elaborate concatenation of phrases which is sometimes called eloquence, in which you have the smallest possible quantity of common sense enveloped in the greatest multi- tude of equivocal words. ( Cheers and laughter.) 1 say to you, then, that there is danger to the institutions of this country,—( great cheering,)— danger to the mixed and happily balanced form oSgovern- ment under which we have lived and prospered. ( Continued cheering.) But it is in your power, and in the power of those who think with you and fill situations in the country corresponding to yours, to avert the danger. ( Continued cheering.) It is in your power, by unremitting activity and by the exercise of those functions which the constitution has left to you, to mitigate, if not altogether to remove, the evil. ( Loud cheers.) My fixed opinion is, that the danger can be only met by your gaining for your principles an effectual influence in the popular branch of the legislature. ( Hear, hear.) We shall onlyaggravate the evil if we attempt todeceiveour- selves as to the nature of the instruments we can employ. Let us not indulge iu useless lamentations. Let us waste no time in regretting that which is beyond our remedy. ( Cheers.) This is quite idle. The first step towards safety is a knowledge of the real source of our strength, a just confidence in it, and a firm resolution to exert it. If we cease to take a desponding view of public affairs, all will be yet well. Though you may not be able to exercise that full share of influence to which you are legitimately entitled, yet hesitate not to strain every nerve to acquire all that can be acquired. ( Cheers.) Act like Englishmen, and if you will do so, I am confident, from the national spirit and indomitable resolution, that the country will be rescued from the dangers with which it is at present threatened. ( Cheers.) I warn you that you must not place a lirm reliance either upon the prerogative of the Crown, or on the influence or authority of the House of Lords, or on the combined effect of them. The pre- rogative of the Crown, the authority of the Lords, are constitution- ally potent in occasionally controlling the acts or encroachments of the House of Commons, but you must not now- a- days depend upon them as bulwarks which are impassable, and which can be committed without apprehension to the storm and struggle of passion and ambi- tion aud the love of change. The government of the country, allow me to tell yon, must be mainly conducted with the good- will and through the immediate agency of the House of Commons; I again - say, the royal prerogative, the authority of the House of Lords, are most useful, nay, necessary, in our mixed and balanced constitution. But you must not strain those powers. You would not consider that to be worthy of the name of government, which is nothing but a series of jealousies and hostile collisions between two branches of the legislature. You wish to see all branches of the legislature main- taining each its independent authority, but moving, through mutual JOHN BULL, ---•• MT | I II II L « T—— m confidence, in harmonious concert towards the great end of civil society and civil government— the public good. ( Loud cheers.) 1 ask you, then, Dot to underrate, not to misunderstand, the power and authority of the House of Commons, not to trust to the controlling checks which may theoretically exist upon that power aud authority; but to secure, through the legitimate exercise of constitutional privi- leges, that degree of influence for your principles in the House of Commons, which will be ten times more powerful for the establish- ment of what is good, and the resistance of what is evil, than a » y extrinsic control of the Crown or the House of Lords. On taking office I avowed my determination to abide by the Reform Bill. I trust I have redeemed that pledge. ( Load cheers.) On this broad constitutional principle my friends and 1 acted. We acted in the spirit of the Reform Bill, not niggardly, not merely content with a cold assent and submission to its details, but with an honest and generous deference to its spirit and to the authority which it esta- blished. When we found, after a patient and sufficient trial, that we had not the confidence of the House of Commons, although the array opposed to us was miscellaneous in the extreme, although the majority wassmall, we felt it our duty to resign. ( Cheers.) However strongly we might have opposed the establishment of the new, the elective system, we now adhered to our pledge. ( Loud cheers.) We did not entertain the vain notion of governing the country against a majority of theTeformed House of Commons. ( Cheers.) We- refused, indeed, to be ooedient instruments ini the hands of that majority. We thought it safer for the country to refuse to be so, and therefore, unable to enforce our own principles, we retired from office. Allow me then to recom- mend yon also to- follow this example, to refrain from ftatterinjyour- selves with vague aud distant hopes of altering the present system— let us not seem, even in thought, to threaten those who have ac- quired new rights with the forfeiture of that acquisition. ( Cheers.) Let us stand by tfee constitution as it exists at present ( Cheers.) Let us never hint at alteration, or by our conduct raise a secret doubt, even in the minds of the most suspicious. I venture to- pro- phesy to you that the- proposition for change will not come from you. If it comes, it will come from those who clamoured most loudly for the Reform Bill, whs- demanded the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill. ( Great and continued cheering.) Aye; it will come from them, and the moment, perhaps, is not far distant— the moment that they have ascertained the- Bill is not likely to answer the purposes they had in view— the moment they see it is not potent to exclude the in- fluenceof what we caEtConservative principles, ( Continued cheering.) Let us then declare our readiness to accept in good faith, as a consti- tutional- settlement, the provisions of the Reform Bill, and let us by that declaration fortify ourselves in the resistance to new agitations of thepublic mind on questions of government, to new innovations on what was called but yesterday by its friends, the second charter of our liberties. And while you determine to respect the Reform Bill, prove practically your respect for it by exercising every privilege which it leaves untouched, or which it for the first time confers. There must be no laziness— no apathy— and) above all, no despond- ency. ( Cheers.) Let each man consider the franchise he possesses not as a personal privilege, but as a public trust, which it is his duty to fulfil- ( Great cheering.) But I have said enough upon this subject; I'do not despair that if we continue to exert ourselves, if we here set an example to the em- pire, it will, in all its parts, be before long animated by the constitu- tional and truly English feelings which are- here displayed. ( Load cheers.). How, it will be asked, are you to regain your influence in the House of Commons? Not, let me tell you, as your enemies would impute to you^ by bribery and corruption and unworthy means, but by going forth with a frank exposition of your principles —( cheers)— and by showing that there is nothing selfish in your support of the institutions under which you live, and of your defence- of the rights which you inherited. Let us disclaim all interest in the maintenance of any abuse—( cheers)— let us declare that we- are willing to redress any real grievance —( cheers)— and to concur in the applioation of the best re- medy which can possibly be devised forthot purpose. ( Loud cheers.) We hold that no pnblic office ought to be maintained for the mere purpose of patronage—( cheers)— that public appointments can only be vindicated on tlu? gronnd of their being necessary to the public service. ( Cheers.) We want no sinecures. ( Loud cheers.)- We want no greater amount of salary for the- reward of public officers than, that which may . be sufficient for securing integrity and compe- tence in the discharge of important official duties. ( Cheers.) Above all, we deny that we are separated by any fancied line of interest, or of pride, or of privilege, from the middling classes of this country. ( Cheers.) Why, who are we, or at least nine- tenths of those who ore here assembled, that any one should tell us that we have an in terest separate,, or feelings discordant) from those of the middling classes of society? ( Cheers.) If we ourselves don't belong to the middling classes of societ}*, I want to- know how wide the interval maybe that is presumed to separate us? ( Cheers.) Speaking in behalf of nine- tenths at least of those- assembled within these walls, I say we disclaim any separation from the middling classes of so- ciety in this country. G no,— we are bound to them by a thousand ramifications of direct personal connexion, and common interests, and common feelings. ( Loud cheers.) If circumstances may ap- pear to have elevated some of us above the rest, to what, I venture to ask, is that elevation owing? ( Cheers.) It is owing to nothing else but to the exercise, either on our own part, or on the part of our immediate forefathers, of those qualities of diligence, of the love of order, of industry, of integrity in commercial dealings— ( cheers)— which have hitherto secured to every member of every class of society the opportunities of elevation and distinction in this great community—( cheers)— and it is because we stand in our pre- sent situation— it is because we owe our elevation in society to the exercise of those qualities, and because we feel that so long as this ancient form of government, and the institutions connected with it, and the principles aud feelings which they engender, shall endure, the same elevation will be secured by the same means, that we are resolved, with the blessing of God, to keep clear for others those same avenues that were open to ourselves—( loud cheers)— that we will not allow their course to be obstructed by men who want to se- cure the same advantages by dishonest means,— to reach by some shorter cut, that goal, which can be surely attained, but can only be attained through industry, and patient perseverance, and strict inte- grity. ( Loud and continued cheering.) Gentlemen, what was the chrtrge against myself? It was this, that the King had sent to Rome for the son of a cotton- spinner, in order to make him prime minister of England. ( Cheers.) Did I feel that a reflection ? Did it make me discontented with the state of the laws and institutions of the country ? No; but does it not make me, and ought it not to make you, Gentlemen, anxious to preserve that happy order of things under which the same opportunities of distinction may be ensured to other sons of other cotton spinners, provided they can establish a legitimate claim on the confidence of their King and couutry. ( Loud cheers.) We are charged with having some interest in the May 17. perpetuation of abosts. Why,- can there be any one with a greater interest than we hare, that the pnblic burthens should be as much lightened as they can possibly be, consistent w/) h the maintenance of the pnlic engagements? We are represented ns fattening on the pablic income. Looking to this company and to those associated with it in feeling, is there amy gain, 1 ask, connected with the in- crease of the public burthen* that can countervail the interest we have in their reduction? ( Cheers.,) We have a direct, a superior interest to any other in the correction of every abuse and the appli- cation of every principle of just and wise economy. " At the same time, consistently with these feelings, consistently with the determination to correct real abnses, and to promote real economy, we- do notdisguise that it is our firm resolution to maintain to the utmost of onr power the limited monarchy of this country— ( cheers)— ta respect the rights of every branch of the legislature— icheers)— to maintain inviolate the united Church of England and reland—( loud cheers)— to maintain it as a predominant establish- ment—( renewed cheers)— meaning, by predominance, not the denial of any civil right to other classes of the community, but maintaining the Church in She possession of its property and of all its just privi- leges. ( Clieers. V Such is our firm resolution ;: we will submit to no compromise—( cheer,-*)— and we will exercise every privilege which the constitution has entrusted to us for the legitimate maintenance and . support of the constitution in Church and State. ( Loud and con- tinued cheering.) This is the appeal we make to the middle classes of the community— to those who are mainly the depositaries of the electiTO franchise. ( Cheers.) We tell thesm that it is not only our determination to resis- t any direct attack on ourinstitntions, but that we are- also resolved that we will not permit the ancient prescriptive- government of this country—( cheersJ— the mitigated monarchy, con- sisting of three branches of the legislature, we- are determined that we will not allow it tobeohanged, by plausible and specious propo- sitions ol reform ( loud cheers), into a democratic republic. ( Loud cheers.) We will not adlow, if we can prevent it— we will not allow that, through plausible and popular pretexts of- improvement and reform, there shall gradually take place such an infusion of demo- cracy into the institutions of this country, as shall essentially change their theory and practical character, and shall, by slow de- grees, rob. us of the blessings we have so long enjoyed under our limited monarchy, and popular, but balanced, constitution. ( Loud cheers.) Tfow, Gentlemen;, that is what I apprehend we mean by, this is the construction we put upon, the term " Conservative princi- ples ;'' ( loud cheers ;) and such is the ground on which we make an appeal to the country at large; for the maintenance- of those princi- ples. ( Cheers.) We tell all, in whatever class of life they may be, that they ought to feel as deep an interest in the maintenance of those principles, as any of the politicians or men- of property who are now within my hearing. ( Cheers.) The encouragement of industry, the demand for productive labour, depends on the mainte- nance of those principles. ( Cheers.) The preservation of order depends on them, the maintenance of that security which has hitnerto led men through honest industry to accumulate property in this country .. depends upon them. ( Loud cheers.) And now that the feelings excited by political contests and great changes in the electoral system have subsided,. I cannot lieip entertaining a sincere hope and belief, disclaiming any intention of interfering improperly with the political franchise, there is still that fund. of good sense in this community that will enable us, if not to gain a predominating influence in the Commons' House of Parliament; still to acquire that degree of influence that shall control and prevent many bad pro- jects. ( Loud cheers.) " My advice to you is, not to permit past differences on political subjects now to- prevent a cordial union with those who takea simi- lar view with yourselves on matters of immediately pressing import- ance. ( Cheers.) There are many questions on which you formerly differed with others, that are now settled. There are many public men from whose views you formerly dissented, who agree with you that the Reform Bill is not to be made a platform from which a new- battery is to be directed against the remaining institutions of this country. ( Loud cheers.) If they agree with you on this, the essen- tial practical point, if wishing with you to correct real abuses, they are still determined to maintain the'ancient principles on which the constitution of; the country is founded, to protect- the interests of order and property, it would be madness to revive old and extinguished differences, and to allow the remembrance of such shadows to ob- struct an harmonious and cordial anion for the defence and preserva- tion of all that remains. ( Loud cheers.) " Gentlemen, I ought to apologise for detniningjyou so long, and I shall not further prevent my Hon. Friend the Chairman from pro- ceeding in tba- execution of his remainiug duties. ( Cheers. ) But, in conclusion, Jet me call on you to recollect the associations con- nected with the place where we are now assembled. From this place a voice - issued in 1793 of memorable moment— a voice in support of the ancient principles of the British monarchy—( cheers) — a voice which encouraged and enabled the Ministers of that day to check the contagion of democratic and French principles then in their ascendant. ( Cheers.) I call on you to remember the motto under which you are assembled, Concordru jwrwe res crescxintz to bear in mind, that by acting on the advice which it involves, small as your influence in the public councils may now IK*, it is capable, by unity of purpose, by cordial concert and good understanding— by- common exertions directed to a common end, it is capable of vast expansion and increase. By your example you will rally around you a thousand hearts to fight in the same righteous cause. ( Loud cheers.) Ptoclaim to the country from this the metropolis of com- merce, that, entertaining principles of moderation in public affairs, you will stand firm in defence of the ancient walls, and guard the ancient landmarks of the constitution—( cheers)— that you will rally round the monarchy and protect its just prerogatives, that you will defend the- independent exercise of the authority of the House of Lords—( loud cheers)— and maintain firm and. inviolate the rights of the established Church. ( Cheers.) That you will stand by, in the emphatic language of the most solemn acts of parliament, the Pro- testant government and the Protestant religion of this country- ( Cheers.)- Yes, elevate that voice iu the cause of those principles— principles somoderate, so just., so necessary, so rational, and depend upon it, it will be re- echoed from every part of this country, and the pulsation of the heart of the great corporate community will vibrate through, every artery of this mighty empire. " The Right Hon. Baronet sat down amidst loud and long- pro- tracted cheering." The Cambridge Chronicle says :— There will certainly be a very numerous and brilliant assemblage of strangers at. the Installation, to do honour to this University in its present very flourishiivg state, and out of compliment to the Marquess CAMOEN, whose public and private virtues have been, through the course of a long life, so very highly esteemed, by persons of all political parties, and whose extraordinary claims upon public grati- tude for his noble and disinterested munificence to the exigencies of the State can never be adequately acknowledged. Among the dis- tinguished persons who have already accepted invitations, we can mention the Duke of Wellington, Chancellor of the University of Oxford; the Duke of Northumberland, High Steward of this Uni- versity, who ( with her Grace the Duchess) will be received by the Dean of Ely, at the lodge of his own College, St. John's; Lord Lyndhurst, Lieut.- Gen. Sir Edward Kerrison, M. P., Lord Viseoun Mahou, Earl Bathurst, Earl Delawarr, Lord Brecknock, Lord Lyttleton, Lord Bayning, Lord Lisle, the Earl ot Hardwicke, Sir Wm. and Lady Anson, the Bishops of Gloucester, Lincoln, and London. To these names we believe we might add those of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, and of the Duke of Buccleuch ( a member of St. John's College), and of her Grace the Duchess; also the great name of him who now occupies in so peculiarly eminent a manner the attention of this country and of the whole civilized world — the Right Hon. Sir ROBERT PEEL. His brother, Wm. Vates Peel, Esq. M. P., formerly M. P. for this University, having been a member of St. John's, will probably attract both these gentlemen as visitors to that college. On Tuesday morning a deputation of Gentlemen from the body of Conservatives, residing in Westminster, waited upon Sir ROBERT PEEL, and stated to him that from the high sense they entertained of his distinguished conduct while holding the reins of Government, and their admiration of his political firmness during the late arduous struggle against party spirit, they wished publicly to testify their approbation and esteem by inviting him to a public dinner. Sir ROBERT PEEL replied that he felt sensibly the kindness intended towards him, which, at any other period, he would have been most happy to accept. He considered, however, that while Parliament was sitting, to accept invitations of this nature would seem to be taking May IT. JOHN bull: 159 a part in political excitement, for which, at the present moment, he had no desire, wishing rather to avoid all expressions of political feelings except what it might be his duty to otter within the walls of Parliament. The deputation then retired, deeply impressed by the just and prudent sentiments of the late Premier. Lord ELIOT, despatched by the Duke of WELLINGTON on a mission to Spain, with a view to put an end to the savage system of slaugh- tering prisoners in cold blood, which has hitherto disgraced both parties in the civil war in the northern provinces of Spain, has suc- ceeded in the object of his humane errand. An agreement for the mutual exchange of prisoners has been signed both by VALDEZ and ZCMALACARREGUY. From Spain all the accounts received through the French papers confirm the defeats of VALDEZ. I RIARTE, another of the Queen's Generals, has also suffered a defeat at Guernica. The positive defeat of VALDEZ has been announced to the French Government. It was thought that the complete discomfiture of VALDEZ had produced the very crisis at which French intervention was intended; but it is now said that the trials before the Court of Peers have created so much alarm that, for the present, intervention is not intended. STROCI).— LORD JOHN RUSSELL.— On Tuesday morning last Col. Fox, accompanied by the Devonshire cast- away, arrived at Stroud, when a numerous meeting assembled, and both individuals were cordially received. Colonel Fox expressed his satisfaction at finding the course he had adopted in resigning his seat to make room for Lord JOHN RUSSELL, met with the approbation of his constituents. He considered the defeat of his Lordship in Devonshire a national calamity.— A resolution was then passed to the effect that Lord J. RUSSELL was eminently qualified to fill the vacancy occasioned by the retirement of Colonel Fox. His Lordship then addressed the meeting at considerable length, and it was unanimously agreed that active measures should be adopted to ensure his return. The elec- toral district of the borough contains 41,719 souls. The number of 101. houses is about 1,650— the number of registered electors about 1,200. The American frigate Constitution, Captain ELLIOTT, arrived on Sunday in Plymouth Sound, from Havre de Grace, with- Mr. LIVING- STONE, late American Charge d'Affaires at the French Court. The abrupt proceedings of Ministers, in the affair of Lord HEY- TESBURY, has occasioned very considerable inconvenience to all par- ties concerned. The Jupiter, which was engaged to convey his Excellency and suite, remains yet at Woolwich, fully provisioned for the voyage. The officers, however, all of whom have been subjected to a great expense and inconvenience, have for the most part re- ceived intimation that ther services will not be required; and all of them are now in a state of great uncertainty. A very splendid dinner was given on Monday, at the Clarendon Hotel, to the Earl of CHESTERFIELD, by the noblemen and gentlemen who hunted with his Lordship during his brief but brilliant occupa- tion of the Mastership of the KING'S Stag hounds. Thirty. two sat down. Lord CHESTERFIELD, in the course of the evening, proposed the health of Lord ERROL, his Lordship's successor in office. The state of Paris— or rather France, for Paris is France— seems any thing but agreeable. 11 appears from the proceedings in the Chamber of Peers and Deputies on Wednesday, that the former, not content with having to contend with the stubborn resistance of one hundred and twenty- one prisoners, whom the insurrection of April, 1834, have brought under their jurisdiction, have been prevailed upon by the Government to prosecute the editors of the Republican journals, the Tribune and Heformateur, and ninety- one other individuals, in- cluding two Members of the Chamber of Deputies, for an address to the prisoners, congratulating them upon their conduct, and reflecting uponihat of the Court of Peers. Thus the Peers are about to avenge, in their legislative capacity, attacks made upon them as Judges, and to summon to their bar the very men whom the prisoners have selected for their Counsel, and the dread, and consequent exculsion of whom, have produced all the confusion and tumult that , have dis- graced the Luxembourg Palace since the commencement of the proceedings. The following practical evidence of the force of example is not unworthy of notice :— At the annual meeting of the London Missionary Society, held on Thursday, at Exeter Hall, sums were given amounting nearly to 6001., which were sent up to the Chairman, in various promissory notes for different sums with bank- notes and checks. These papers were put into a bag, with the resolutions and other documents, and laid on the table behind the Chairman. / Vhilc the assembly were singing the Dojcology, with which the proceedings of the day closed, the bag was stolen. The promissory notes have been stopped— but not the thief. We have elsewhere mentioned the visit of a deputation from the electors of Westminster to Sir ROBERT PEEL, for the purpose of invitinghim to a public dinner. We perceive that on Friday a depu- tation waited upon Sir ROBERT, to invite him to a public dinner in Marylebone, consisting of the following Gentlemen— W. A. Mackin- son, Esq., M. P.; Sir John Chetwode ; Colonel Buckworth; Captain Spence, R. N.; the Earl of Bandon; Sir Peter Laurie; Colonel Daniell; Mr. Scadding; Mr. Walesby; Mr. Charles Wing; Captain Ryder Burton, R. N.; Colonel Heathcote ; H. Moreton Dyer, jun., Esq.; Mr. George Boyle ; Hon. Colonel Stopford. Mr. MACKINNON, on behalf of the deputation, stated that he was desired to solicit the honour of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S company to a public dinner, to be given him in the borough of Marylebone; and on their part he could not allow the present opportunity to pass by without expressing the admiration they felt of Sir R. PEEL'S con- duct in the trying circumstances in which he had recently been placed.— Sir R. PEEL expressed the high sense he entertained of the honour designed him, but thought that the object to be attained by a n' lie dinner was already secured by the deputation before him. He lately declined a similar compliment offered him by the city of Westminster, and also one tendered him by his supporters in Parlia- ment, on the same plan as the one given to Lord JOHN RUSSELL. He thought that much good was effected by public meetings of this nature, as affording means for the utterance of opinion ; but thev were instruments which might be pressed too far, and at the present moment he had an opportunity of declaring with sufficient clearness the political sentiments of his friends in Parliament. If he could advance the objects sought by the deputation by accepting their invi- tation to a public dinner, he would, at the sacrifice of every personal consideration, accede to their wishes, but for the present he begged leave to decline the proposed honour. We recommend a perusal of the following awful account to young ladies of a philosophical turn of mind, who are much too wise to be afraid of lightning, and who stand at windows to watch what their Governesses have taught them to call " beautiful coruscations":— " Friday afternoon, at2o'clock, at the time that the metropolis was visited with a storm of lightning and thunder, a very awful occurrence took place at the house of Mr. Penn, in Waicott- place, Kennington- road, who keeps an establishment for the education of young gentle, men. A young gentleman of the name of Stanhope was struck by lightning. The boarders were at dinner, and the unfortunate youth, who was about 14 years of age, had just arrived at school. He was standing at the foot af the staircase which leads up to the school- room, and which is detached from the house, when an ap palling flash illumined the atmosphere, immediately upon which the deceased fell to the ground. Mr. Malcolm, a surgeon of the neighbOTirlrood, promptly attended, and tried to bleed him in the arm, but without success; and ou examining the body there was found a deep mark on the right cheek, and which had passed down the right side of the body. On examination of the spot near where the deceased stood it was discovered that part of the floor was burnt, and that the electric fluid had entered the school- room, and had passed down the side of the house, and removed a portion of the bricks, as if done by a pickaxe."

MISCELLANEOUS. A new Church is about to be erected in Chorlton- upon- Medlock, of which the Rev. EDWARD BIRCH, Minister of All Saints' Church, is to be the incumbent. At his late tithe a. udit, the Rev. S. PICART, Rector of Hartlwbury, liberally returned fifteen per cent, to the tithe- payers.— The Rev. 11. S. COCKS, at a recent audit, made a permanent reduction of ten per cent, on his tithes, in the'parish of Leigh, and stated that, if farming produce still continued on the decline, a further reduction should take place.— At the late tithe audit of the Rev. Mr. RAY EH, Rector of Tidcombe Portion, Tiverton, in consequence of the depressed, state of agriculture, and wholly unsolicited, he returned to the several persons ten per cent, on their respective payments. The Clergy of the Diocese of Oxford are signing an address to his Majesty on the present prospects of the Protestant cause. Earl HOWE, amongst his many acts of beneficence, has enlarged and repaired, at considerable cost, the village Church of Congestone, in the county ol Leicester, making it not only one of the most com- fortable, but one of the neatest places of worship in that county. Wednesday a numerous deputation of the parishioners of South Hackney presented an address to their Rector, the Rev. HENRY HANDLEY NORRIS, M. A., expressive of the high sense which they entertain of his long, disinterested, and valuable services. The address was signed by 350 individuals. We cannot make room for the document itself, but it is with great pleasure that we allude to a circumstance so creditable both to the Clergyman and to his flock, and so well deserving of imitation iu the present crisis ot the Church. In consequence of the death of the Rev. W. BARTLETT, Vicar of Newark, a memorial, respectfully addressed to the First Lord of the Treasury, the patron of the living, on behalf of the Rev. R. SIMPSON, is in course of signature, and had received 700 names up to Wednes- day evening. A voluntary subscription is now commenced throughout the pa- rishes of St. Alban's, to carry on the repairs of the splendid Abbey Chuuch there, without further delay, as the dilapidations are rapidly increasing. It is also highly gratifying to learn that the ladies of St. Alban's— viz., the Countess of VEKULAM, the Marchioness of SALIS- BURY, & c., and most of the distinguished families throughout the county, are making great exertions to get up a fancy fair on a splen- did scale for the purpose of aiding the funds for the repairs of the Church. A vestry meeting was called for the 23rd of April, at Hogsthorpe, near Alford, for the purpose of granting a Church- rate for the present year. The opponents of it mustered all their strength secretly, and rejected the rate by a majority of 25 to 13. A poll was demanded, and it took place on the 30th of April. The result was- for the rate, 78 ; against it, none. The York West Riding Visitations have been fixed as follows:— Doncaster, Monday, June 15; Wakefield, Tuesday, June 16; Leeds, Wednesday, June 17 ; Halifax, Thursday, June 18 ; Skipton, Friday, June 19 ; and York ( Archdeaconry), Thursday, July2.— The North Riding Visitations will be at Malton, Tuesday, June 23; Thirsk, Thursday, June 25 ; Stokesley, Friday, June 2b. The Rev. Archdeacon MOORE held his annual visitation at St. Mary Major's, Exeter, on Tuesday last. An Address to his MAJESTY was agreed to on the present state of affairs. The Venerable Archdeacon KTNG held his usual visitation of the Clergy of M ailing Deanery, at Town Mailing, on Monday, the 4th inst.;" and his visitation for the Deanery of Rochester, iu the parish Church of St. Nicholas, in that city, on the following day. The Venerable the Archdeacon of Rochester ( the Rev. WALTER KING) held his usual visitation in the parish Church ofDartford, on Wednesday, when he was met by the Clergy and Churchwardens of the several parishes in the Archdeaconry. ' llhet ilev.

There has been a great scarcity of Money during the week, and the English Securities have worn an exceedingly depressed appear- ance, the quotation for the Account having been as low as 91%, but at the close this afternoon the price was 92' 4. Exchequer Bills and India Bonds have both experienced considerable depreciation, the former having receded to 26 28, and the latter to 10 11. Long An- nuities are 17 1- 16. The Settlement of the Account in the Foreign Market took place on Friday, and notwithstanding the depression under which the Market laboured during the Account, it passed over without any defalcation. Colombian Bonds, since the last Settlement, have been as low as 44 ; Chilian at 51 ' 4 ; Mexican at 44; the former, however, have rallied to 4t> 3s 7; Chilian, 53 4; and Mexican, 46 X 3f. Span- ish Bonds have been as low as 66^, but they have ralliedto 67 M and the Scrip is 7% 6} i. Portuguese Bonds, after being 100% closed this afternoon at 101J^ In the Northern Bonds the Market has been flat, but with little speculation ; Dutch Five per Cents, are 101 % %, the Two- and- a- half per Cents, 57H % ; Russian Bonds, 108& 9; and Belgian, 101 ^ 2^. In consequence of the unfavour- able accounts from Brazils, the Brazilian Bonds suddenly fell from 88J£ to So sellers; but there has been a reaction, and the price has since been at 86^. In the Share Market everything is very heavy, and Real del Monte and Imperial Brazilian Shares are lower, the former being 28 to 29, and the latter 38 to 39. 3 uer Cent.

The Caflfres have made a fresh irruption across the frontier of ourcolony at the Cape. Severe conflicts have taken place between the savages and the troops and the Burgher force. A de- tachment of the 72d, under Captain Jarvis, had a sharp affair with the Caflres at Trumpeter's Drift on the 9th of March. Severe con- flicts had taken place with other bodies of the Caffres, attended with greater loss of life to the colonial forces than had hitherto occurred. Colonel Seymour had again crossed the Fish River, and driven the savages into the interior. Private letters from St. Michael's mention that the prisoners in one ofthe gaols in that island had risen upon the military, and obtained possession of the Castle. They hoisted the Miguelite flag, but after some fighting, were subdued. Most of them appear to have been put to death with considerable cruelty. Several expresses were received at the Home Office on Friday from different parts of the country, bringing information of very serious riots occasioned by the detestation felt by the agricultural population of the New Poor Law Bill. The Cabinet Council held on Friday was summoned on this importantsubject, andall the Minis- ters in town assembled again yesterday, at the Home Office. A messenger was also on Fnday night sent with despatches to Lord John Russell. It is said that the accounts received by Government are ofa most perplexing if not alarming nature. The Earl of Wilton, accompanied by three gentlemen of Manches- ter, and several other gentlemen connected with the county of Lan- caster, waited on Sir Robert Peel on Friday, with an Address signed by 10,602 inhabitants of Manchester and Salford. EAST SURREY CONSERVATIVE SOCIETY.— On Thursday night a numerous meeting of Gentlemen connected with the boroughs of Lambeth and Sonthwark divisions of the county met at the Horns Tavern, to adopt measures for the formation of a Sub- Committee, to act in concert with the General Committee at Croydon. Mr. Not- tidge was in the Chair. Various resolutions were formed, and names given in by Gentlemen as members, when the meeting broke up. Mr. O'Loghlin, His Majesty's Solicitor- General for Ireland, one of the law advisers of Lord Mulgrave himself, sat quietly at his own election dinner the other day while the toast of " O'Connell and Repeal of the Union" was given— sat, we say, gravely in his chair, never budging, never protesting— and still remains Solicitor- General for Ireland,— Lord Mulgrave being Lord- Lieutenant!— Morn. Paper. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.— Yesterday, Christopher Charles Fos- ter was indicted for forging and uttering a promissory note for the payment of 8801. on the 17th of December, 1834, with intent to defraud Henry James Tyre and others; and Jonas King Murphy was also indicted for that he knowing that Christopher Charles Foster had committed the said felony did harbour and abet in the escape of the said C. C. Foster.— The evidence, so far as it was gone into, was generally similar to that before produced; but the evidence of a wit- ness named Chesterman, so directly negatived the indictment, that after a long discussion, it was ruled by the Court that a verdict of acquittal must be returned, and the Jury declared the prisoners were Not Guilty.— They were ordered to be detained to be indicted for conspiracy. THE WOOLWICH MURDER.— Patrick Carroll, the soldier, was on Friday found guilty of the murder of Mrs. Browning, of Woolwich, on the 27th ult., and was ordered for execution to- morrow, at the gaol of the county of Kent.

To be completed in 6 volumes. By the Rev. T. S. HUGHES, B. D., Prebendary of Peterboro'. HUME'S HISTORY may be had separately in 8 volumes, SMOLLETT in 5, and the Continuation in 6, all illustrated in a similar manner. " Mr. Hughes's undertaking was of no mean difficulty: he has, however, exe- cuted his task in a way equally honourable to his understanding and his industry, and the result is an impartial and critical history of one of the most important epochs of ancient or modern times. We have been much pleased with the Preli minary Essay. The characters of the distinguished individuals who have ' played their parts' during the last half century, are, as far as we can judge from the volume before us, impartially and vigorously drawn ; freed, in many instances, from that party- spirit which has hitherto hidden their true lineaments. The remarks on the science of government, and on the state of parties, are judicious and lucid ; and on the whole, we may congratulate ourselves on haying a history of the times to which it relates, and worthy also of the works of which it is a con- tinuation."— Monthly Magazine. " Of this Continuation we are bound to speak in terms of high approbation."— John Bull. " The first volume, as a specimen of typography, is excellent: it is in size porta- ble, without being too small, and of a price which will render it attainable by all classes of readers. The Preliminary Essay is most useful as an introduction to a perfect comprehension of what is to follow : it is written in a tone of impartiality and fairness as to statements and deductions, and with elegance and condensation as to style. The work, to those who have neither time, taste, nor opportunity for consulting more bulky historians, will prove a source of entertainment and instruction."— The Times. " In the higher attributes of fidelity and sound constitutional principles, Mr. Hughes stands so eminently high, that hardly any degree of eulogium that designated them would be misplaced."— Metropolitan Mag.
