All the hopes and wishes of the Branford folks are completely knocked on the head. Last evening it was 1 7pposed that a rival Candidate would be put in no minatioa ; but alas, these expectations have turned out futile in the extreme. From the feeling with we have witnessed, and th 4 communications we have received, there cannot be doubt, but that had any Candidate, with even a glim mei ing of talent, showed himself, he would have been . returned. None of the joyousness or hilarity attendant en an Election was manifested this day. The people of Brentford, recollecting the times of MAINWARINO and BURDETT, were completely in the dumps. A sombrous, cloud hung over them, and any thing but a kindly feeling was manifested towards their late representatives. Mr. BYNO they respect as a private Gentleman ; but his Senatorial abilities they consider even below par. Mr. WHITEREAD has certainly not gained ground in the county, and were any other persons to be put in nomi nation the former members would find it a difficult job to be reinstated. They are now, however, the repre sentatives of the sentiments of the Freeholders of the Metropolitan County of Great Britain . ; and what we are to anticipate from their exertions in the Commons House of Parliament, the past has sufficiently shewn. The preparations in the different houses of entertain. ment, under the expectations of Mr. Newell making his appearance as a rival candidate, were of the most extensive nature. Beds were taken down, furniture was removed, a general clearance made for the worthy and independent freeholders of Middlesex ; but, sad to say, all these preparations proved unnecessary, and curses, both long, loud, and deep), followed those re creants who would not come forward, and rescue the independence of Middlesex—but enough Mr. BYNO made his appearance at an early hour this morning, and was followed shortly after by Mr. WHITBREAD, accompanied by Mr.Hosnousa, the Mem ber for Westminster.—The Sheriffs, Messrs. CROWDER and KELLY, appeared on the hustings at half past ten o'clock. The business was opened in the usual way, and Lord WILLIAM Roseau. proposed Mr. BYNO, as a very fit and proper person to represent Middlesex. Mr. TArio seconded the proposition; each delivering a speech declaratory of the merits of the Candidate. Mr. RIDLRY COLBOURN proposed Mr. WHITBREAD, and was followed by Mr. Hosuom. The usual ques tions being put, whether there was another Candidate? and no reply being given in the affirmative, the Sheriffs declared Messrs. Ilune and WHIT/MUD duly elected. __ The Honourable Member, as we may now eau him, Mr. WHITSIMAD, in more words, perhaps, than he has ewer before exercised in his Senatorial capacity, returned thanks, and the meeting of the Freeholders, which had a most dolorous appearance, separated dis contented and disappointed. This forenoon we received German Papers to the 14th inst. An article from Frankfort states, that little business bas been done on 'Change, nor had the funds fluctuated much. The Austrian funds had risen at Vienna; but according to the last dividend they yield . 6 percent.—The Darmstadt subscriptions at Frankfort were, on the ith inst. at 75i. There is again e report la circulation, that the Grand Dotal Government, in concert with the loose of Row emu" means to adopt some mosso, to raise the current Edo pi this stock. '" • • _ --• 0111 !"," Maroburgh Papers to the 19th instant reached us this forenoon : they contain nothing of any interest. An article fres Berlin states, that large supplies of wool have already arrived foe the approaching lair. The owners expect better prices than at Leipsic, because the Prussian Government has assigned three mil lions of dollars to be lent on wool lot sold, so that the landholders will not be obliged to sell at a great loss. Singapore Pipers were this forenoon received at the North and South American Coffee-house, of the lath of January. They state that Captain /3uasay, our Envoy to the Court of Slam, had arrived at Ilankek, and had an audience of the Biro who was very favourably disposed towards Europeans. Calcutta Papers to the Ist of February have reached vs; one of them states that the Bishop of Qualm had proceeded to Madras on an Episcopal visitation. Letters have been received horn Cape Coast Castle of the ISth of April: they state the King of ASHAWriIt has again taken the field, and, is a desperate battle, completely defeated the Ackisns, our most steady and faithful allies. Commerce is wholly at a stand. In a part of our impression yesterday we announced that hostilities had re-commenced with the Burmese, and that the enemy bad been completely defeated. The official Dispatch, an nouncing this event, Is inserted in our first page. The duplicity and bad faith of the King of AVA will, we doubt set, be severely chastised by our gallant troops. VAUXHALL GARDENS. --+..-- The anniversary of the Battle of 'Waterloo has always been cele brated at Vauxhall with a . magnificenit that tends, in no slight de gree, to keep alive the memory of the glorious victory that gave freedom to Europe. As such National Festivals have their effect upon the %winds of many, and contribute to cherish feelings that do honour to our countrymen, and (if need be) good service to our . _ country, we heartily wish them *nieces. The Gardens last evening were thronged at s very early hour; long before the commencement of the Concert it was totally ins possible for a great nunsber to find seats, and the entrances to the Rotunda were soon crowded by anemia but disappointed listeners. We should imagine that full 1000 persons were present; of theft, by far the greater portion were evidently of the higher classes of society, and we never recollect to hale seen so many beautiful and elegant women cOletted together. The greatest exertions had been used to give the Gardens a mote than usual display of brilliancy and taste. Upwards of 14,000 lamps were added, and these appeared to have been all formed into banners, coronets, or stars, that glittered in every direction. The union of the three emblems had a very pleasing effect; and the words " Wellington and Waterloo," in letters as it were of liquid gold, was the first striking object noticed on entrance. This motto was surrounded by wreaths of laurel, and was really magnificent. In the Concert, Mr. Miss STIFURNS, Signor Da Hassle, and the other performers sung. The songs were all of a military character; and here too " Wellington and Waterloartad a very prominent place. A new Cantata (written and composed expressly for the occasion) was received with enthusiasm, not only because of its subject, but of its merits. The Ballet, toe, was in keeping with the rest of the performances. It was,named the Soldier's Festival, and the Adages appeared to dance, at tf they had gained a victory: The Fireworks were most splendid. In the course of this part ofl the exhibition, Mr. Lerrtmom astonished and terrified the audience 1 by " flying" frm the top of the firework. tower to the extremity of the walk—and he really appeared to ii y. The amusements of the evening were such as could not fail to give perfect satisfaction to the visitors;—and as this place of public amusement is on every sue grisly* evening attended by increased numbers, we may consider the spirited experiment of the Managers as completely successful. At an early hour this morning the freehiilders of Middlesex, in the ingrest or Bible and WVITAILLUb, residents is the east end of the town, proceeded to Brentford, decorated with a profusion of colours. Nine coaches and four started from the Court-linuse, Osborn street, Whitechapel, •soon after eight o'clock, in the sem interest. ' NEWCASTLE-UNDER LYME, Jou 18. ThF•return of ROBIN! • SoRN WILMOT HORTON, Esq. one of his Majesty's Secretaries of State for the Coldnies, was celebrated on Friday last, by a sumptuous dinner at the Roebuilt Inn, at which the newly-elected Member presided, - isilth all that gentlemanly ease and courteous demeanour (r which he is sd peculiarly dis tinguished. The 'Ball toots), in which the dinrify. was served up, was literally throned, and included dearly all the leafi ng Gentlemen of influence and respectability immediately connected with the Borough and its neigh bourhood. Mr. llorrota, on his health being drank, addressed the company at some length, and most ably vindicated his public conduct. Long-continued greet ings followed the conclusion of his speech ; and social converse and hilarity, intermingled with the best wishes for the prosperity of their Hon. Representative, pre vailed to an advanced hour of the night. Saturday, another handsome entertainment was pro vided by Mr. CORK, at the Castle Hotel, in the same town, and to celebrate the same haPpy event, which partook of all that 4 , ft ow of soul," and integrity of purpose, for which the friends of Mr. Honrox here have always bt , en conspicuous. The Hon. Mem b er presided, and left nothing to be wished with those by whom he was surrounded, who seemvJ to be as happy in themselves as good fellowship and honest heartedness could make them. The arrangements were excellent, and did great credit to the host. The three following stanzas of a Song prepared, in the event of a contest, are characteristic of the good temper wl.ich regned in the town, and so true and hal mless that we venture to I give them : Behold, brother femme, ! the Bag of the foemam Defies the Moe Ether, theta join heart and voice For the friend of the poor, as the pride of the yeoman, And Worth shall still triumph in the Man of our Choice! He comes like a true Knight, his suit-service rendered, To ask at the hands, of his eossrades and friends The token that Freedoms to Firmness had tendered, And Ipotb whir Fidelity our °samplers blends! Then Howson in bumpers! b• must be victorious Who fights for our freedom; far dearer than life— The heart items the hard Ma struggle se glorious, Like Britons we'll battle. though vs fall in the strife. ON THE CORN LAWS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Stn—One of the most important matters to the wel fare and happiness of these kingdoms is a supply of the Recess:dries of life, eta regular and equitable price. This fact has now fully awakened the attention of alf classes of the community. ltis nevertheless contended that the existing Corn Laws are the protection of the landlord, the tenant, and the labourer. But the fact is quite the contrary ; for it is evident thai these laws have been the destruction of each of those classes. Their baneful influence has given an unnatural stimulus to the motives for the growing of corn. The little farms, once the happiness and ornament of the country,:have been added to thereat ocoupiers of already too large tracts of land. It may be asked.where are the rosy-cheeked milk-maids, daughters• of these humble farmers?— Where is the industrious dame and the curly-pated lads which enlivened the once happy little domestic fireside of the occupier of - his 60 or 80 .aeres ? Alas ! these snug farm houses aro swept from the face of the land, and their occupiers !tad dltscendatike. become day la bourers, or are consigned to . the poor house. Yet, the desolator: thernsebros . have not • escaped punishment. The high prices hasie temoted ihem .to desert the hos pitable manor houssif of theii ancestors for the squares and palaces at the.. west end- of the great city. This emigration has awakened a desire of extravagant en joyment in their families, and they have, in their turn, become the prey of mortgagees and annuitant-mongers. Could they return to their once respectable mansions? No, they were compelled by the change of prices, par ticularly in 1822, to fly from the storm on their conti nental tours. Thus it appears that the Cora Laws, by the exceedingly high . price at one period, and the equally low price at another, have occasioned all this distress, for artificial prosperity must end in real misery and destruction. That this hat been the case with the land owners and others is too apparent to be contra dicted. Yet midst this, dark cloud a ray of sunshine has been afforded to the ownets of land. It is a well known fact that the greater part of the estates in this country are mortgaged, for which five 'per cent bps been paidibut in consequence of the very great plenty of money, the Bank of England and others offered it some time sinice.at -About four or three and half per cent. thus affording a great relief to this class of individuals, while at the slim moment the mer chant and manufacturer, who keep their floating capi. tal its the funds, nr in the hands of private bankers, have experienced a decrease in their income by the reduction of the national interest of one per-cent. A cursory ob server may say, 4 4 why the merchant and trader may obtain money at the same rate of - interest, and with the same facility as the land owner." But can the one de posit his property with the same ease and facility as the other can lodge his title deeds ? This subject might bt.- blanched nut into endless sir gument by the interested on both sides of the question; bur it is trident that bread and meat ire now too dear, and that the only plan to promote the prosperity and comfort of all, is a free trade in corn, as well as other merchandise. Yet, from the long existence of a con trary system, it would, perhaps, be dangerous at once to plunge into the proposed mid.; hence, we must be content for the present to fix a duty on the importation of foreign corn, equal to the expense of the English grower. This duty could he easily reduced or encreased, until experience had ascertained for us what should be the permanent rate of duty, and the proper moment to abolish it altogether. This period, if we continue in a state of peace, would arrive by the consequent reduction of the citation. _ _ The Land-owner has a great objection to lower his rents; however true it is, that if he lowered them one third, ho would, by the consequent 'low price of every article of his consumption, be able to live as well, or better, upon a reduced income, as he was with high rents, with the pleasing reflection, that all classes of society would equally enjoy the desired change. This can only be effected by an Act ,of Parliament; therefore it is incumbent tpon the people to petition the Throne, and both /louses of Parliament, that a due re vision of the Corn Laws may take place,—thus second ittg and supporting the evident wishes of Ministers on that vital subject, for witheut•the support a the mass of the people, thus 'tressed, it is impossible they can long maintain the contest against their powerful oppo nents,—the Landed Interest. 15th June, 11126. VERAX. LITERATURE. Per th of Mo.* 4artivright.-.. Edited by his Niece, X. •U, Cartwright... 2 vols. Bvo. London, - - Few persons in the political world were better known than the late Major Cartwright ; and although he took a very decided part, yet he possessed the esteem of all parties, ranking among his frieuds, Whigs and Tories, Reformers and Anti-Reformers. This was in no small degree owing to. his private worth, but perhaps still rn , re to the amiability of his character, and the care with which he abstained from introducing politics in a mixed company. The life of this Gentleman is written by his niece, who has proved herself fully adequate to the task. It is a very interesting membir, and besides containing a history of the political life of the Major. abounds with original anecdotes and shrewd remarks, as well as several letters front some of the most distinguished persons of the day, including Fox, Sheridan, Horne Tooke, Sir Philip Francis, &c. It will be seen by a perusal of these volumei, that however far Major Cartwright carried his iJeas of Parliamentary Reform, and few went farther, yet he had always the goad of his country at heart, and was anxious to promote its interests by various suggestions, some of which have been adopted. The Major served both in the Navy and in the Army, ant in the former distinguished himself by his bravery under Llrd Howe, on more than one occasion. In one engagement, the ship in which young Cartwright served was so close to the enemy's vessel, that the shots went through both sides of her : Arts' the engagement was over, Sir Edward Mawke sent round to all the captain; of the fleet to inquire bow they had fared during the action. Gaptain.Patrick : Baird baying hid a finger shot off, returned the following brief message—' My compliments to the Admiral, and tell him I have only lost a tobacco stopper.' Being examined as an evidence on a court-martial, respecting the practi cability of throwing succours into Gibraltar, he was asked if he should have t►ought it his duty at all hazards to follow his instruc tions ? If an admiral,' said he, were ordered to throw succours into hell, in my opinion he ought to attempt It ; and the old Defiance should be at his service to lead the van.' " " Of Lord Howe's constant attention to the good of the service, Major Cartwright used to give the following instance--During an action (the writer believes i t was that mentioned above) Lord 11owe remarked a small vessel with two large spars attachU to hoc, which was, nevertheless, very ably ms.nteuvred : as soon as the action was over, he sent to the Admiral to inquire by whom she was cone minded, and finding it was a young officer of tbe name of Ham mond, requested that he might kiln him as first-lieutenant on board his own ship. This gentleman is now Sir Andrew Snipe Ham mond, Comptroller of the Navy." Among the miscellaneous anecdotes in this volume, we find the following one of Fueli : " By the interest of Sir Joshua Reynolds he was employed to copy a capital picture at Rome for his Majesty, for which be was to be paid 1500 guineas. You must know that he his a bare main tenance; and that a munificent friend in England is at the principal expense of supporting him while he studies abroad. 'While pre paring for the execution of the above commission, be became ac quainted with a very indigent obscure young artist, an Englishman by birth, and was in a short tinte so much struck with his sklfl in painting, that Int wrote home to excuse himself from making the copy, and to recommend his friend, whom he represented as so much his superior hi the art, that be could not, in justice to his Merit, accept of such an employment while he was disengaged. Is Fuseli or Lord Clive most to be envied ?" LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Asa 19. MARTIN V. LADY Monza. This was envied ,n in which the plaintiff sought to re. .cover from the defendant a pecuniary compass ition for certain services which he had rendered to Lord Hervey Moore, whose widow the defendant is. The plaint ff is a young man, who had been ed lc .ted for die Choi ch, and was on terms of intimate acquaintance with the late Lord H. Moore. On account of his extravagance and dissipation, Lord H. Moore had been on bid terms with his father, the late Marquis of Drogheda. The great expenses which Lord H. Moore had incurred in this country obliged him to retire to the Continent. He had, during his difficulties, got into the h snkis of the well known annuity brokers, Howard and Gibbs, who had effected annuities for him to the amount of 40,0001. The plaintiff's influence and that of his father effected a reconciliation between Lot d Henry Moore and his father, and through his means the old Marquis advanced his son a sum of money to meet his demands; and the plaintiff, through his good offices, so altered the vene rable Marquis's mind, that he altered his t ill , and lett property to a considerable amount to his son, instead Of cutting - him of as.he had intended. By the ability and assiduity of the plaintiff', in going- about to Lord H. Moore's annuity creditors, he effected on the 46,0001 and other debts a reduction in favour cf his friend to the amount of 25,0001. which - he thus saved Lord H. Moore, - who at different times expressed his acknow ledgment of his friend's services iu the most grateful terms. But Lord H. Moore having died, and the plain tiff having never received anything but acknowledg ment fur his services, he brought this action against the widow of the deceased Lord to obtain some pecuniary compensation. The LORD CHIEr Jorrica, seeing that the plaintiff could not prove an employment in law, so as to maintain the action, advised that it would be the best thing to re fer the cause to some Gentlemen at'the Bar to say what the plaintiff was entitled to. 1 his, however, was termed, but after some conference between the Counsel, it was agreed to withdraw a juror, the defendant agreeing fo give the plaintiff 5501. as a compensation, w hich in chided the costs of the action.
