-,' l i g ht of this has already led to much heat and much serer both in the houses of Parliament and in the Etuizration, reclamation of waste lauds,.aid o. railways, r advance of money for agi tent nail improvement ;—some or all of these may be highly inexpedient in a natural, or even in a semi cased state of a country. But with respect to Ire the question is, are these better than doing no thing, and distributing money for nothing ? l or d loos RI:t.'•ELL let fall an observation, that go o h o ldings were, after all, not necessarily perni cious; sad he instanced Armagh. Now, there is no doubt that small holdings, though differing much a ccording to the nature of the tenure and the wealth of the country, are, in regions of what the French call d e ,irstute culture, to be deprecated. But in Ireland there is no choke. Without an immense and instantaneous influx of capital. accompanied by a anialtaneJus efflux of the population, at least from agriculture. large holdings cannot be created. There eats a surplus population, accustomed to feed on the land. There is no fund for wages, and little taste for em igration. The alternative, therefore, is narrowed t o the choice of how they are to be fed on the land— by conscre, or by reclaiming spots of ground of 20 acres. Can any one hesitate as to the choice ? The Fame remark applies to all the permanent mea- Wee for some at least are indispensable as aids, if Ireland is really to be raised out of her present sunken condition. The most popular perman ent measure is the poor-law. But the poor -, :ery possible of application in the east and north of Ireland, is utterly impracticable in the south and west, unless accompanied by other measures. Reclaiming waste lands near the coast, where sea-weed manure is in abundance, railway employ in inland districts, fisheries in others, emigration in others :—if govern ment cannot wirtinee money for such purposes to districts and counties wherein the pauperism is capable of swallowing up the rent in a month, govern ment must end by giriny the money in alms and to support the poor-house. No rates can do that in the southern districts, if left to themselves, if unaided by these permanent measures, and if left to the polit'eal maxim of Sir ROBERT, viz. " Help thyself" That has been preached to Ireland long enough. How is a country to help itself without capital, or skill, or security, and with a redundant population, that defies all modes of employing, disciplining. or controlling them? Teach theft; to exert themselves. Faith Sir ROBERT, but don't help them to do so. We have very little hope of such teaching, very little least in such a schoolmaster. And we can onfv con ceive each • policy invented and promulgated to thwart and spoil, not directly but insidiously, all the efforts of the present liberal ministry for the redemp tion of Ireland. Tin first annual report of the Board of Supervision for the Relief of the Poor in Scotland has been pre sented to Parliament. It is an ably-digested synopsis of the actual poor-law of Scotland, as modified by the act which appointed the Board, and the Board's pro ceedings tinder that act. The appendix, too, con tains a number of documents which throw light on the state of Scotch pauperism. It cannot be denied, after perusing the report, that the parties to whom has been dele gated the superintendence of pub lic charity in Scotland are learned in the theory of their duties, and lecture ably and plausibly upon them. Whether the paupers of Scotland are likely to derive much benefit from these gentlemen's practical enforcement of their theo ries is a question more open to dispute. Unwilling to pronounce a rash judgment, we reserve our decision; but thus much we can say for them with a safe con science, that they do not appear to be in danger of erring from any morbid excess of sympathy for the poor. They relate with obvious complacency their labours in scrutinising complaints of inade quate relief. With the low standard by which the - adequacy of relief has hitherto been tested in Scotland, certain decisions of the Court of Session have made southern readers familiar. They are therefore able to form estimates of how far humanity may have been served by the action of the board. From the 4th of S-Ttember. 1845," say its members, "the day on which we first met for the transaction of business, up to this time (August. 1846) 597 cases of paupers complaining of inadequate relief have been before us. Of these, 303 have been dis missed on the information contained in the sche dules; and 94, after communication with the parochial boards. In 182 cases remitted by us , to the parochial boards, the allowances have been in- aeased to such an extent as to remove the grounds of complaint, and eighteen causes are not yet disposed o' All Scotland was in arms against the old poor law for its niggardliness ; in this passage there is slender of amendment. As little it must be conf • is there in the warm encomium passed upon "the honourable and humane spirit in which the heritors and the parochial boards generally have en deavoured to carry out the objects contemplated by the legislature." the poor-law reformers of Scotland complained that the Commission of Inquiry was an heritors' Commission ; there is room to fear that the Board of Supervision is its legitimate offspring. When the children of Scotland ask for bread, it may not give them a stone, but it will give them learned dis sertations, which are not much better. A vote, of no matter what amount, to provide the Irish farmer with seed is one that will evidently pass the House of Commons by acclamation. Now that' the re-appearance of the disease in the rising potato crop has caused the most grave apprehensions for the coming year, it is oar duty to look to the future, and endeavour to show how mach good may be done by a well-regulated administration of this fund which par liament grants for the purchase of seed, and how much evil may be produced by its ignorant application. So far as relates to the present distress, the Marquis of LINSDOWNE was right when he exposed the ab surdity of meeting :the evil by deprecatory cries of the inferiority of the potato as the staple food of a people ; but, with regard to the future. it becomes of the first importance rightly to determine the course, which government intends to pursue in promoting or retarding the cultivation of this crop. America points out to us the sad spectacle of five successive failures of the potato crop, and the disease there is not yet arrested in its progress. Belgium, on the other hand, offers a more cheering instance of a great mitigation, if not total extinction, of the malady. But all men of science versed in cultivation, look with alarm to the progress of the disease in thiscountry. They per ceive neither climatorial nor physical causesat all likely to aid the expulsion of the enemy from our shores, but, on the contrary, recognise much durability in the phenomena presented by the disease. Its recur rence in the crop of next year is, therefore, possible, if not more than probable, and would pauperise a large portion of this country as well as of Ireland. Under these circumstances, it is fit that govern ment should protect itself and this country by efficient regulations for the advance of money is the purchase of seed. The money is to be advanced on the security of the crop, which, if one of potatoes, is of the most inefficient description. It has justly been said, both in and out of parliament, that the failure of the two last years may be converted either into a national curse or into a national blessing. The introduction of the potato into Ireland in the 16th century, was hailed by politicians as ! a great boon, and little did they then foresee, how many evils were to follow the impulse given to its , cultivation. Perhaps the very smallest of these was the risk of its sudden failure and the calamity Of famine, to which all nations are exposed, that depend mainly on one variety of crop. The incalculable mis chief of its adoption is the habits of idleness. which arise in a people devoted to the growth of one kind of food. When crops are manifold, the labour of their cultivation and harvesting is spread over the whole year, and steady habits of labour are acquired. The rice growers of Bengal are as inferior in moral energy and steady habits of labour to the cereal calti rators of the upper provinces, as the Irish are to the Scotch peasants. This inferiority is not !aliment to Ireland, but to its engrafted habits ; for its natives when abroad become able - Labourers. Lord JOECC IVSSELL observed.with great justice, that "the ' wine man who is loitering idly by the mountain side Tipperary or in terry, whose potato plot has just furnished him with occupation for a few days, whose wages and whose pig have enabled him to pay his rent and to eke out a miserable subsistence, has per haps a brother in Liverpool. in Glasgow, or in Lon dOa. who, by the sweat of his brow, from morning till aught, is competing with the strongest and the stoutest Labourers of England or of Scotland, and is earning *Nees equal to any of them." With these convict ons, it would be impolitic is government to perpetuate the origin of the evils by permitting the public money to be expended in the purchase of seed potatoes. The loss of the money itself is far Isse to be feared than the loss of the oppor tunity thus afforded of introducing into Ireland the cultivation of new and nr) re hardy crops, of creating wants, and inciting labour to their gratification. It is with the view of affording our aid in developing these industrial resources, that we en tr eat the consideration of our readers to what science indicates as the proper course to be pursued in the exigencies in which our country is et present placed. Modern Science has proved that all food cocsists of two essential parts, having very different functions to perform in the animal economy. The first class of these compounds is made up of materials having absolutely the same composition and nature as the flesh and blood of animals, and it is now proved that the process of nutrition simply consists in giving them a position in the organism, without any alteration is their component parts. Vegetables contain within themselves flesh already made, and their nutritive value is at once determined by ascertaining how mach they contain of this flesh giving principle. Nothing else can form the basis of the body, and, therefore, nothing else can be nutritious. The other part of food, which comprises such substances as sugar, starch, gum, B:c., cannot by any possibility give strength or true nutrition to the body, but they play a mast important function, as they are the chief means of imparting grateful warmth ; in other words, of sus taining animal heat, and supporting respiration. Hence there are two classes of materials in food, the one building up and sustaining the fabric of the body, the other keeping up the process of respiration. National predilections or prejudices canaot shake the law of nature, which has placed the potato almost at the very bottom of the scale of vegetable food. One hundred tons of potatoes contain no more than two tons of nutritive matter fitted for the forma tion of the animal frame. Never was there a greaser fallacy than to conceive that it is a food fitted for the poor ; it is to the poor man, as well as to the rich, one of the most costly crops which can be cultivated. It is true that the potato would be a cheap aliment if it were equally nutritious with other kinds of food; but this is not the case, fur a far larger quantity must be consumed to obtain adequate nourishment. Six pounds of potatoes must be taken to afford the same nutriment that one pound of flour, or the ' third of a pound of peas, would afford. Its bulk is its only recommendation, and that it does not enjoy in so great a degree as the more hardy though rather less nutritive, Jerusalem artichoke, beet, or turnip. Let us not deceive ourselves as to the true value of nutriment in different varieties of crops, for in times of prospective famine we should clearly understand by what crops we can produce the largest amount of nutriment per acre. And in ouch conside rations we must view those portions of food fitted for supporting and forming the bodies of animals as the only true expression of their nutritive value. We have, therefore, prepared a table, calculated upon the average produce per acre of various crops in this country, to show what different quantities of food are produced by the acre.

Of all plants cultivated for food, perhaps the most hardy is the Jerusalem artichoke. In spite of the most un generous treatment, with a quantit of manure. and I poverty of soil, insufficient to sati sfy any other plant, this hardy tuber will thrive and yie d abundant crops. Its habits are not these which are calculated to pro duce improvement in the industry of the Irish, but its qualities as a famine crop are proeminent. Beet, for the southern parts of the country, would yield the largest return of food at the lowest price of any of the cultivated crops. The bean, in spite of being so liable to disease and to the attacks of insects, produces, with ordinary care, a very large amount of food at a cheap rate, much superior in this respect to the pea, which is more liable to failure. The more extended cultiva tion of these crops, in addition to the cereals, would materially alleviate the pressure, which another failure of the potato crop must produce. In the admi nistration of the money to be granted for seed, government have it in their power to pre scribe certain salutary conditions as to its application, and obtain as a result not only an increased and economical produce of food, but at the same time cultivate those industrial habits which can alone be fostered in an wicultural district where the demand for labour is st ead y and uniform, and not liable to the cessation consequent on the cultivation of a single variety of produce. The devotion of any great portion of the money to the purchase of seed potatoes ; is not likely to be advantageous, and is altogether insecure and impolitic.

Casa Irujo and Bravo Murillo would not consent to the latter post being assigned to M. Psial. and consequently the ministry of Casa lrujo was dis solved on the spot. At • very early hoer this morning the Marquis de Casa Irujo tutored to the Queen the commagon with which she had entrusted him for the formation of the cabinet. At the same time M.

As the chambe rs did not desire the reading of the detailed supplement to the decree, the Minister of State observed that toil supplement contained a sta•ement of the state of provision_ according to information obtained by the ministry from the whole country. He felt himself in duty bound to adi t that the state of things had undergone some changes dunng the last few weeks, inasmuch as the prices of corn hadagiun risen. and, therefore, the state of the came called for more attention than before.

CORPORATION REFORM. Yesterday, a very numerous meeting of the leading members of the corporation assembled in committee of the whole court, for the purpose of adopting resolutions, to reform in an essential manner the corporation of London.— Before the committee proceeded to business, Mr. R. L. Josue asked whether the Lord Mayor had any communication to make to the court —The Lord Mayor replied in the negative. —Mr. Ashurst, chairman of the sub-committee, brought up the report containing sundry recommendations. Alderman Witsox objected to the reading of the report, which, be contended, was quite at variance with the reference to the committee. . . Upoon this subject a very angry discussion took place. At 1 1 length Mr. Mill:MT proposed! the ant resolution, of which he had given notice, and which formed one essential portion of the report. It was a recommendation that the Court of 1 1 Common Council request the Lord Mayor to restore the Qualification Bill to tae paper of business to be brought on ' at the nett court. It was very properly observed by Ald. Wilson that the Court of Aldermen had become the laughing WA of the public. The conduct of that body upon the late enormous of the Common Council to effect a salutary re form, wee a strong illustration of the truth of that observa tion. Seeing, however, that the Common Council was re solved to adopt a system of reform, that court had deter mined to apply to Parliament for beneficial changes in its constitution. Nothing. he .contended, could be more mon strous than the idea that the Lord Mayor had the power to remove from the paper of business any motion of which • member of the court had given notice. After several re marks upon the assumption of such a power, Mr. Ashtust moved the resolution. _ Sir PETRY Lau me felt great pleasure in seconding the motion. A'derman SIDNEY wished to see unanimity existing be tween the courts. He believed there wee scarcely an Englishman to be found who wished ill to the aldermen of London. (A laugh.) A little might be laid in Puma derogatory to them, out they had no hostile feeling directed against them, (Cries of " ! If the court did any thing calculated to destroy so ancient and venerable a cor poration, up on their heads would fall the blame of frittering away the p rivil eg es which they had sworn to defend. The Lord Mayor bad acted upon the advice of the Recorder, the Common Serjesnt. and two eminent counsel. Mr. R. TAYLOR: Who are the eminent counsel? Alderman StDNEY could not at that moment say. To put the question which the Lord Mayor bad refused to put might be erroneous in law, and would not the court be de serving of blame if they asserted a privilege without know ing whether they had it or not He thought there wee a way of getting out of the dilemma with honour, end he should propose that way as an amendment. He then moved that the opinions of the Attorney and Solicitor Generals, together with the opinions of the Recorder and Common Serjeant, be taken whether the Lord Mayor had a right to put the question. Alderman WlltiON seconded the amendment became he thought it the only mode of carrying out the reform of the Court of Common Council. No one could read the whole of the resolutions on the paper without feeling that so far from healing the differences which existed, they mum tend to widen them. and lead to the great detriment of the in tenets, rights, and privileges of the corporation. The court assumed to itself more extensive powers than belonged to the House of Commons, and he was unlined to think that go far as the city of London was concerned they had those extraordioare powers when acting as a vested body of Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council; but in paining bills fur levying taxes on their fellow-citizens, extending the elective franchise, and altering the qiudifications of the members of the court itself, surely it became them to carry such romenres in a manner worthy of a deliberative assembly claiming and exercising such extensive powers as those now contended for, Of what value would a bill be if not passed legally according to the customs and charters of the city . How could they expect that the Court of Aldermen, as a judicial body, would or could take noticeof bills or laws passed in the way proposed ? Did they suppose that if the Lord Mayor de dined to comply with their request, and they attempted to place the town clerk above his lordship, the latter would remain in the court ; and if the Lord Mayor left the court what would any act passed in his absence be worth ? He implored them to take the advice of counsel upon a matter involving the great privileges of their fellow-citizens. He concluded by informing the court that the counsel upon whose opinion' the Lord Mayor had acted were Mr. Peacock and Mr. Wilde, as well as the Recorder and Common-Ser jeant. Mr. W. JoNes said the speeches of the mover and seconder of the amendment wen conclusive in favour el the original motion. He thought it was only necessary to give the alder men opposed to the Common Council rope enough, and they would certainly bang themselves. It was easy to put a case in such a manner as to insure the delivery of an opinion favourable to the views of the party interested- He consi dered it would be the extreme of impoLicy to adopt the amendment. After a few words from Alderman Challis and Mr. Lowe, The LORD Mayor', having been called upon by several members of the committee, said he always wished to see um nimity established between*, twocoiuts, and a kindly feeling perpetuated. He had been advised that he could n-t legally I pat the question, and be had acted upon that advice, for he ' was not so presumptuous se to hazard an opinion upon such • subject, when men of high legal education and experience suggested the course kw him to pursue. He lamented the , t which existed as much as any one, and he l i w a ci a ld e Zt e g i est a motion to the extent to which he could con scientiously go. It was that the lord mayor be requested to insert the bill to declare the qualification of freemen of Lon don to be elected members of the Court of Common Connell in the p ape r of business for the next Court of Common Conn- ell, in order that the said bill should be recommitted, and its provisions reconsidered in committeeof the Court of Common Council. (Marks of disapprobation.) Mr. R. TAYLOR said he rose to address the Lord Mayor personally. His lordship's ear had been abused. He was led by a small clique of the Court of Aldermen and two or three °Seem That was a de g rada tio n to the mayoralty, and it was the duty of his dahip to retrace his steps, and put the bill upon the paper of bonne's to undergo the ne cessary discussion. Mr. R. L. lours and other members also implored the Lord Mayor to act independently of the clique by whom it was evident he was influenced in oppanng the wishes of the great majority of the members of the corporation.—The question was then put, and there were a few bands held up for Alderman Sidney's amendment, which was negatived amidst acclamation by an immense majority- Automat those who voted for the original question were Aldermen Sir P. Laurie, Humphrey, Wood, Sir I. Duke, and Challis. — There were four aldermen in the minority. fhe following resolutions were afterwards earned by great majorities .

Sir P. Lamle quoted the opinion of Sir Francis Pals- grave against going to parliament Mr. ft. Tenon said Sir F. Pawnee had not only given the opinion knit quoted. but an °vial= diametrically op peed to it. Mr. Ashurst's lac resolution which was carried unanimously was, that a report, founded upon these resolu tions. be prepared, signed, and presented at the next Court of Common Council, end that the UMW should have preced ence of all other buskins. . _ Mr. issue-sr then gave notate of several motions, sseart ing the rights and privileges of the Common Council, wear- Log the periodical election of aldermen, diminishing the number, and equalising the wards, and comprehending a great varier of other essential ehanm in the corporation. The committee broke up at a late hoar. r.—A " Saxon Friend to Ire- land. - points oat to es the following extract from the Times, of Jane, 1831 " Ht:srs con A Srascitirrtosr.—Among the mode by which considerable and easy additions might be mule for the relief of the starring poor of Ireland, it u recommended that teere Irish bishsp should be called upon, each indieidu ally, and Wpsrately. and formally, by the emelt:Mee for some distinct contshation.

If there be any good seas or usefulness in any of the shore suggestions, there is not a seceseat to be ioa." PUNISHMENT or PAUPERS.—Yesterday, at the meeting of the directory of the poor of St. Pancras (Mr. Wright in the chair), Mr. Douglas called the attention of the board to a circumstance which he considered was most improper in connexion with the discipline of that homer It was the fact that the surgeon (Mr. Cooper) had taken upon himself the responsibility of placing an inmate of the infir mary upon low diet as a punishment. Mr. Cooper, the surgeon, and Mr. Lee, the master, we-e called before the board, and the former admitted that he bad acted as de scribed to • person named James. This man had thrown down some boards from the windows of the infirmary which looked into the boys' and women's yards, and on kis threat ening to repeat the offence, he (Mr. Cooper) ordered his meat to be stopped for two or three days, and half a pound of bread to be supplied in its stead. Mr. Douglas denied the right of the surgeon to interfere in the diet of any inmate excepting medically, and moved a resolution to the effect : " That the board were surprised that the surgeon should have ordered a reduced diet to any of the inmates of the in firmary by way of punishment, and that for the future no such order be obeyed without the consent of the directors." The motion having been seconded was carried unanimously, and the board separated. EDUCATION OF NATIVE NOUN YOUTH IN LON DON.—It is contemplated by the admirers of the late Dwarkanauth Tagore to establish a fund towards the education of Indians in the several branches of science, and to prepare them for the different profeerions in their own country. INQUEST, YESTERDAT.—REMOTAL OP THE POOR. —By adjournment, before Mr. Baker, at the Queen's Head, Poplar, concerning the death of an infant named Louisa Banner, aged eighteen months, who died on board • Gravesend steam-boat, on her way to Black wall. The evidence with regard to the repeated removals of the mother of the deceased from one parish to another has been already given. The jury considered the blame rested on the medical officer of the union, who had given a certi ficate that the child could be removed without injury, when the contrary was the fact. They also made some observa tions on the operat on of the new law for the removal of the poor, and said it was very extraordinary the woman should have been removed between Chatham and St. Martin's four times. It was highly disgraceful to send the child to London while labouring under a contagious disease and inflammation of the lungs. The Coroner said the mother was compelled to proceed to London, in pursuance of the subpcena, and no doubt did not like to le►ve the child behind. He did not see that blame could be fairly attributable to any one. Verdict—" That Louisa Banner died from natural causes." IRELAND. DUBLIN, FEB. 1. The statement of Lord J. Russell that the expendi ture of the Board of Works for the month of January would reach 700,000/. or 800,000/., being an excess over the outlay for December of about 150,0001., created considerable surprise. The amount appeared enormous; but Lord John might have gone further; and why he did not I am ignorant, unless it be that the returns supplied to his lordship from the office limited the estimate. I can state, on something like authority . , that the real expenditure for January will approach to, if it at all fall short of, 1,000,000 sterling. The Freeman of this morning contains the " bill for the temporary relief of the destitute poor in Ireland." It is universally regarded as a grand and comprehen sive scheme; and if the best adapted machinery, and on the most gigantic scale, with the most abundant funds at command, can accomplish the desired end, the ministerial scheme is calculated to produce that result Whatever was misty, or perhaps intentionally obscure, in Lord John Russell's statement, has been cleared away in this excellent bill, and we now dis tinctly see the system revealed in all its proportions. The landlords had better look to it At the Repeal Association to-day, Mr. William T. Kelly again referred to the extermination menaced in Mayo. He confirmed his original declaration, and stated that he would petition the legislature to order the production of the county books by the clerk of the peace, a copy of which he had been refused. He also stated that the number of civil bill decrees obtained at the last sessions for the county amounted to nearly nine thousands. With the exception of the reward offered on the death of Lord Norbary, the at= offered in the case of ' Mr. Longworth is the largest that has appeared in our times, the amount reaching 1,430/. The Wexford Independent states !that the ship Niobe, of New York, laden with Indian corn and meal for Cork, struck on a reef during the gale of the 26th ult. The crew was saved, bat the vessel will become a wreck. All the accounts from the country to-day confirm the depression in the markets. Prices are not retrograding much, but the tendency is down wards. We are to-day without any accounts from the par ticularly destitute districts of Cork and Mayo. In the absence of these lam happy to say that the whole accounts which reached Dublin to day, and they in ' elude every other district in Ireland save the 'above named two, are of a cheering character. The whole country seems easier, and even the publication of those generalised accounts of distress with which the journals have been filled heretofore, no longer crowd the columns of the provincial press. SILT! or linuty.—Mr. Richard Orpen, an eminent solicitor and a man of landed property in Kerry, gives the following extract of a letter received from a friend, near Kenmore, describing the condition of the population : fo lsognotte an fin yon an adequate idea of the state of the people.

The Edinburgh and Glasgow committees on High land destitution have formed themselves into a central board for the relief of the distressed districts. They have resolved inter alio that no man able to work, and having the means of obtaining it, shall receive any assistance. They are also to issue a Gaelic tract, giving friendly advice to the Highlanders. In addition to the troops already despatched from Edinburgh to the north in order to prevent food riots, • detachment of fifty men of the 76th regiment left for Aberdeen on Friday; and yesterday another de tachment of one hundred men left by steamer for Burghead. It may be mentioned as explanatory of the violent excitement prevailing in some parts of the north of Scotland, that in the small harbour of Fraser- burgh, Aberdeenshire, there were lately fifteen vessels laden with gram for exportation. A local hind for the relief of the Paisley anew ployed has been commenced, and amounts to abed 1,0001. The claims of Mr. McGregor to the representation of Glasgow have begun to be diamond in the new,- papers by anonyinons adrertisers—a significant indi canon that the " =ewe" will not be wanting at the mutest. - The farm servants or hinds in the southern districts are following the example of their brethren in Had dington, by holding public meetings to dismal their grievances. This is the first time that this class of the community have come forward as agitators, and the appearance in that capacity, of parties so much diasevered by location, and hitherto regarded as so illiterate, is a marked symptom of the co-operative spirit of the age. Their eon plainte are too technical for disenarion—partira larly as each district has its own usages—it is enough that the matter resolves itself into the ancient feeling, that " men" think they get too little, and " masters " think that they get enough, if not too much.

Ei.ijrtox.—The election of a mem ber of parliament for the Western Diviaion of Sown, in the ' room of C. Wyndham, Esq., who bas accepted the Chiltern Handreds, to - 1 plxv yesterds , at Chichester. R. Prime, Rea , of Walberton, deputy.c • of the West Sums sessions, was the only candidate. The hon. gentleman be. losses to the conservative party, and is a strong protectionist. The represnitation of West Same% is an affair understood to be purely under the influence of the Duke of Richmond, and there has consequently been no canvas, nor any appeal to the elector., save such as was comprised in a short addre,s, publi.hed a fortnight since Yesterday, at eleven o'clock, • number of the supporters of Me Prime en. t on horseback about six miles from Claiclearee, and escorted the honourable oandidate into the tows. After the ordinary oreliminariee, the Ilon:R. Curzon proposed. and R. Burrell, E.g., seconded, the nominvti.., of Mr. Prime, when the even tenor of the proceedings was inter rupted by a voter, Mr. Cox (of Brighton), who ebserved. that he must utarly protest against that farce beieje elated an election of a member for West Suwez. lie Ned a., be cause the electors of that district had not only . not been salted, but if they had, they possessed no VIM, OS power in the matter. He knew, and every one else knew, who knew anything about that division of the county, that some two or three gentlemen met in their draw ing -room.— Mr. [.'nearer-Slacriff France: I bar pent e, sir, but peas., what is vour names ?—Mr. Con : My nese is Con, of Briehtm, au erector of test Sussex. (Utters.) As I wan saying, some two or three - gentlemen met in their drawing-room, or in a little back-room at a chemist's in that town, and it was they who decided what should he done as ed the representation. Thus, although this election might be an election legally, it was not so virtually.—Mr.r der-Sheriff France : I beg pardon, but I did not underitind where you stated your qualification to be.—Mr. Cox :I am a freeholder in the parish of Broadwater. (Cheers, during which Mr. France resumed his seat.) I say, continued Mr Cox, that the electors have not the power of rejecting any gen tleman chosen by the great landed proprietors. Such gen tlemen as the Duke of Richmond, the Duke of Norfolk, and others, if they were to choose to nominal* their own foot men, could ensure their return. (Loud cheers, and cries of No.") Yes ; no one could deny ft. If gentleman denied it in publie, they would not deny it in private ; they kin w it to be as he stated. Mr. Malden, who announced hinuielf as a dissenter, and as a freeholder of West Sumer, addreieed a series of questions to the hon. candidate, as to his opinions on the Maynooth grant, the extension of the suffrage, the abolition of the law of primogeniture, the severance of the union of church and state, and the proposed men sures of the government with regard to Ireland. — Mr. Jas. Powell (town clerk) begged to ask whether Mr. Prime, if he were elected, would vote for a repeal of the malt tax ?—Mr. Prime thought that in justice to the agri culturists the malt tax ought to be repealed; but, at the saxes time, he did not see how it was possible for the revenue to give up such a sum ris five millions a year. Still, considering the position of the agriculturists. and the recent legislative measures affecting them, he thought that as a matter of justice the tax ought to be repealed. As is the abolition of the law of primogeniture, he had seen a good deal of the effeets of abolition is foreign countries, end he could not approve of it. Every body hada little, and no one much; and be knew, moreover, that several sues:melee governments in France had wi.hed to return to the former system which Napoleon, in spits of his colossal power, had, however, been unable to effect. After alluding to other authorities on this subject, Mr. Prima answered Mr. Malden by declaring that he would not, on any account, alter the law of primogeniture. As regarded the Maynooth grant, that was a question requiring to be deeply considered and fully discussed. Now ' what would be the use of meeting for the purpose of dim. cawing all the bearings of these questions, if every memlor came predetermined upon them? With respect to hie own views as to the Maynooth grant, he might perhaps be willing to agree to the endowment of the Catholics for the sake of tranquillising Ireland. The sheriff then declared Richard Prime, Esq., duly elected.— Mr. Prime, in returning thanks, said, as regarded that pirq on the floor of the House of Commons with which he should divide, it would unquestionably be with that parry heeled by Lord Stanley.—There was a dinner at the Dolphin Inn after the election, at which about 150 persons were present CLERICAL.
