SPIRIT OF THE JO URNALS. Timm—The Tories.—lt is perfectly manifest, that the incorrigible ]'cries have themselves alone to blame, for the sweepingness, which •Ilev ascribe to the Reform Bill as its chief and most alarming evil. ,had they voted for even the smallest shade or particle of reform. when He opportunity WAS presented to them two years ago—when the most ;firing abuses were exposed to the whole world—and the moat in. ielligent and affluent bodies in the kingdom humbly craved to have definite share of legislative authority conferred upon them—an act of j u stice might have passed for one of generosity—the Tories might have been sopectrd of some faint sympathy with their countrymen, the Wellington Administration would have been still in office,—and di,: measure of Reform now impending over the boroughmongen, might have been railed at with impunity, or laughed at as a dream. Let this mire subject be taken to heart by the educated and well-meaning a l , of electors, who are just on the point of determining the repre stweion of Ambridge. Has the church no enemies? Are there ao abuses in the church ? Is there no danger at such a time in any ;Teat portion of the English clergy exhibiting themselves to the empire a large, as acted upon by prejudices or feelings wholly opposite to those of the Rngliah nation If the church, instead of going fairly to woe:, and inviting remedies to the abuses which may have crept into i!5 onn government, shall rashly take . under its protection the abuses Which belong to the state likewise, we, the staunch and consistent friends or :he Church of England, cannot refrain from warning the clergy of consequences to which they expose all that is really defensible and vaJuable in the church establishment. por.—Cambridge Ekeiims.—The struggle has begun—the rescue of the ciiistitution from the fangs of the destroyers may yet be effected..— Cambridge, the seat of learning, and the nurse of genuine liberality, is vindicating itself from the attacks of its malicious and illiterate enemies, and stems determined to fling back the aspersions of its slanderers with threefold force. The question of reform Is now subjected to the opinion and .xaminatioa of the most influential and well informed body of men , comprising no less the ecclesiastical than the enlightened and professional rntelligence of the country:; the influence of authority, the intrigues of party, and the threatening. of power are all ranked on the side of the hitherto losing candidates ; against these are arraigned the zeal of patriotism, the independence of birth, and the intelligence of education. Mr. Ooulburn and Mr. Peel, by the result of the day's r,ll, are foremost in the battle ; but the gallant leaders of a contest, more eventful than any which the country affords can alone retain their round by the unflinching activity of their friends. The fortune which hitherto attended the contest, to ensure success, should be but an incentive to every relaxing heart to hurry with alacrity to its in mint support. The victory is in the hands of the supporters of Mr. Goulburn and Mr. Peel, but to obtain that victory there must be no re laxation of zeal. Every member of the senate anxious to enrol his name on the records of public opinion, must " take then the instant path" to the poll; and, whether lay or clerical, no its. for his own ho nour than for the preservation of the interests he has at stake, hasten to &clue himself to the world as ready to sacrifice all selfish considers. :ions at the shrine of his country's good. HEZALD.—THE ELECTIONS.— The number of cities and boroughs which had returned teal or nominal representatives up to last evening ate 126. As London returns four members, if the other towns return .ll two each, the whole number of members yet returned would be al, but in consequence of five boroughs—namely, Abingdon, Bewd ley, Denbigh, Radnor, and Banbury, returning but one representa tive, the whole number is 249. Of these 134 are for the reform and 114 against it, making a majority in favour of the bill :if 21. The contests now going on in several of the more open boroughs will increase this majority. The battle of reform in the counties has yet to be fought, and will, according to all appearances, considerably swell the ranks of the Constitutional supporters of the po pular cause in the new Parliament. But while there is every ground for the best confidence on the part of the people in the ensuing elec tions, we think it necessary to warn them against being misled by ex. sygerated statements of success, which might throw them off their guard and cause them to relax their exertions before the battle is won.-- To indulge in premature shouts of triumph is not always the say to ensure victory. If the immense majorities that some ethos have anticipated could be obtained, it would furnish a strong argument against the necessity of reform, because it would show that the people bad in reality, in their own ands, the power of returning, under the present grossly defective aye. :cm, a decidedly popular House of Commons; and it would be their own fault if they did not always effectually exercise that power. It is certain that in several places where the popular will has been for a long course of years merely passive, or but feebly felt, while the dictation of corrupt influence has been all powerful, the body of the electors have heen roused from their torpor into an energetic vindication of their tights ; but in some other populous places, as for instance in Sudbury, corruption has struck its poisoned shaft so deeply into the heart of the electoral community, that reform alone can cure the evil. We cannot aspect that examples of independence should be given by pocket boroughs on the present occasion ' • or that paltry corporations should have the self.denying virt u e to make the people a voluntary restitution of the rights which they have usurped; yet we have to record to-day the liberal and spirited conduct of a close corporation, which forms an honourable contrast to the more open borough of Sudbury. We speak of Banbury, a place where the right of voting has been confined to the mayor, aldermen, and capital burgesses, who, a few years ago, amounted to only 19 voters in all, and, we presume, are not more at present— &re the corporation have thrown off the trammels of the patron, the Marquis of Bute, and chosen a Reformer; but, unfortunately, such in ' arses of corporate coincidence of sentiment with the public will are e.:ttly valuable for their rarity. When shall we have such a bream. ,:ante to relate of the wretched boroughs of Marlborough or Devises 1 0 O n the whole there is a great deal to inspire the people with the best tones of the ultimate triumph of their cause. The - ascendancy of re lent in such places as Ipswich, Newark, and Bristol, gives the most encouraging presage of victory, but no good general calls upon his soldiers to rejoice until the battle is over, and the enemy fairly driven from the field. THE GENERAL ELECTION. NEWARK ELECTION-(BY EXPRESS.) THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE'S NOMINEE DEFEATED. BALLOON ASCENT. Additional particulars, extracted from the Notes of Dr. Forster himself, who ascended from Chelmsford, on Sa turday evening last, April 30, with Mr. Green, in a bal loon filled with gas : " The precise time of leaving the ground was, as near as might be, five hours and 40 min. P.M. and the time of descent six hours and 30 min. P.M. so that we must have been in the atmosphere about 50 minutes. The di rection of the balloon at first was toward W.N.W. by N. a gentle current, carrying us over Writtle Park. At the height of about 1,500 feet, we perceived an increased os cillation in the car, and a change of current; and we be gan to move more slowly, and in the direction of Chelms ford, nearly over which town we were again carried, as cending rapidly for some minutes. From the changing direction of objects below, I now found that the balloon must have altered its course, and I got Mr. Green to check the rapidity of the ascent, in order to prevent the too sudden rarifaction of the air from stretching the tym panum of our ears, an effect producing temporary deaf ness, which most aeronauts have experienced. We de scended a little, enjoying one of the most magnificent Views I ever saw, extending all across Essex and Kent to the ocean. We now threw out some ballast, and while Mr. Green was emptying the bag of sand, I could perceive a rapid ascent of the balloon, from the gradual diminution of objects below. We mounted now in a curvilinear course, so that the balloon must have described a spiral, at the top of which, in the region of the clouds, whose grotesque forms were evaporating away, amid the grey shadows of evening, we remained perfectly stationary about 6,000 feet high, for nearly 15 minutes. The barometer on the earth's surface was low when we ascended ; and this state of the O', adding to the effects ,of rarifaction by ascent, pressure on the tympanum of the ear became very great, and I there fore proposed a partial descent. We came down now slowly ; and at length preparing for our descent, were landed safely at Broomfield, in a field belonging to James Christy, Esq. of thatplace. The peculiar stillness, the complete silence, and he calm, soft, and delicious tints of evening ex- Perionced by us, while pending beneath the becalmed 141 loon, in the light and salubrious regions of rarified air, tau hardly be described in words. I consider the time of '; a Y , too, as pec u li ar l y ca l cu l ate d to enhance the effect: .tie world below seemed a vast concavity filled with coloured gelds in flower, intersected with villages, towns, and rivers, istlall so small, as to appear like a mere coloured and pane. 1 , is map of w h at we knew to be the earth, together with the consci ousness of complete insulation, and the apparent uuMon fro m a ll terrestrial connections, produced a wonder -1 influence on the mind ; and being accustomed to moun tain eleva• tion.s, as well as to sailing, neither the altitude, giddiness. previous fib sting o f th e b a ll oon, create d t h e l east The observations which I made on the clouds will " communicated to the Philosophical Magazine. ise° tint Palmerston left town on Monday, t o a tt en d th e fi tTtien at Cambridge.

He has s he wn him self the ablest politician in Essex, and like all other men possessed of ability, has long been the object of envy with the deceitful aristocratic Whigs and Tories. The liberals are to a man for Harvey. Chelmsford is all in a bustle. Wellesley is considered sure ; and the partisans of Western and of Tyrrell respectively talk in confident terms. There is a good understanding between Wellesley and Western. GENERAL ELECTION. The Liverpool Albion gives a full account of the proceed ings on the hustings on Monday. It is impossible to describe the enthusiarm which pervades all classes of that great community in favour of " the bill." General Gast.° ne is booted and hissed wherever be goes. The feeling against him is universal, end, from the organization which the friends of freedom have made to secure the return of Messrs. Ewart and Denison, and to oust the General, a glorious result is anticipated. The poll opened at 12 yesterday. If the freemen but second the efforts of the reformers, the defeat of General Gascoyne is inevitable. Mr. Bell, the nominee of the Duke of Northumberland, has been forced to resign his pretensions to that county, for which Lord Howick and Mr. Beaumont come in. Sir Chas. Greviile, the Tory candidate, is hindmost in the race for Warwick, as is Sir Roger Greeley, the Duke of Newcastle's forlorn hope, at the bottom of the poll in Newark ; while Sedeant Wilde stands far and high at the head of it. Mr. Munday retires from Derbyshire, and Lord George Cavendish and the Hon. G. 1. Vernon are candidates to succeed him, pledged to the bill. Mr. H. Cavendish and Mr. E. Strutt are candidates for Derby on the same prin ciple. No boroughmonger appears when such men are in the field, and Derbyshire is too intelligent and independent for men of that stamp. A Tory paper in that county con tains the following consoling reflections : " We confess that as far as we are concerned, it would have been more consonant with our feelings to have seen Mr. Mundy'. place supplied by a gentleman of the same political creed as himself; but there are many reasons why the tories of this county should not oppose the pre tensions of the present candidates, among which, the peculiar ground they stand upon as regards the question of reform, is alone sufficicht to justify them in refraining from plunging the county into the tumult of a contested election, at a time when the passions and prejudices of men are excited beyond all former precedent. But when the question, which, like the rod of Aaron, swallows up all whets, shall be set at rest, and the angry feelings which its discussion has raised shall be allayed, then we doubt not we shall rev the tortes resume that position in this county which they have hitherto held and to which they are so justly entitled." In Gloucestershire, " if promise be kept on every side," the ascendancy of popular opinion is now about to be secured ; and in the city of Gloucester, the election of Colonel Webb and Captain Berkeley is assured beyond all doubt. To their honour be it recorded, that they have never " moulted one feather" of their political consistency ; but have held on together, through good report and evil report, through storm and sunshine, the faithful friends of the people. With all possible respect for Mr. Phillpotts, the citizens of Gloucester cannot so easily forgot his extraordinary vote on the civil list,nor the effort he has since made to impede the progress of the reforming ministry by his unavailing mo tion on the pension list. At Cirencester, Lord Apsley and Mr. Cripps have been re-elected : but let not the House of Beaufort lay the flattering unction to its soul, that the old system of corruption and abuse can be upheld fur one hour against the voice of a Reforming Parliament, such as we shall now have.—At Tewkesbury, the post of honour is warmly contested by the old members ; but Mr. Dowdswell will find a formidable opponent in the person of Mr. Hanbury Tracy, whose claims to the suffrages and support of freemen, transcend those of the Honourable Master in the Court of Chancery as much as the pure constitutional exer cise of the elective franchise surpasses the vile spirit of mo nopoly which has so long oppressed the country like a foul and hideous incubus, which the people have at length de termined to skake off. " Thus far we run before the wind." The cause of causes prospers, thanks to Gon—to our Sove reign—to his Ministers, and to the people of England I Cheltenham Journal. No little speculation was indulged among the freeholders at the market tables on Saturday, on the subject of the County election. Will Lord Robert Manners and Mr. Keck again risk the expenditure of six or eight thousands each, with the prospect of another election in a few months, was the observation of almost every one, and that Mr. Paget and another liberal candidate were sure to be returned if they came forward, was confidently predicted. Before the close of the day, it became known that Mr. Keck had resigned. On Monday and Tuesday, the friends of Mr. Paget were on the alert in every town and village in this and the ad joining counties. At Loughborough, green flags bearing the inscription of King William—Reform,' Paget and Independence,' &c. were to be seen floating on the roofs of several manufactories. At Hinckley, Harborough, Lutterworth, Syston, and other places, the most lively interest was manifested in the cause of Paget and Reform. On Tuesday evening a meet ing of Mr. Paget's supporters was held in the committee room in Mr. Bankart's warehouse, bottom of the Newark street, when a liberal subscription was entered into towards paying the expences of the election. On Wednesday morning, a hand-bill made its appearance announcing Lord Robert Manners's intention again to offer himself; and his Lordship shortly afterwards arrived at the Crowns Hotel, accompanied by his brother, Lord Charles Manners. On Thursday, a requisition, signed by a number of the most respectable and influential gentlemen of the county, was forwarded to Charles March PhiHipps, Esq. entreating him to allow himself to be put in nomination for the county. Amongst the signatures are those of Charles James Packe, Esq. Ed. Cradock Hartopp, Fsq. Sir G. Robinson, Bart. Edward Bouchier Hartopp, Esq. the Rev. Dr. Doncaster, D. D. Thomas Babington, Esq. John Pares, gen. Esq. Robert Otway Cave, Esq. the Hon. Rev. E. D. Erskine, Edward Hawkins Cheney, Esq. &c.— Leicester Chronicle. COVENTRY.—From the first instant that a dissolution of parliament was contemplated, Mr. Ellice was, from his recent votes, considered sure of his future election for this city. Not so with Mr. Fyler, whose Machiavelism on the subject of reform appeared during the late parlia mentary discussions to have excited the suspicion of his late constituents. When, therefore, it became generally known that this gentleman intended to again offer himself for the representation of this city, immediate steps were taken to start an unflinching and unsuspected advocate of Go vernment Reform. With this view an application was made during the early part of the week to our spirited townsman, John Scholefield, Esq. who expressed his willingness to pre sent himself as a candidate on the day of election, in the event of Mr. Fyler's declining to give an unequivocal pledge to , support the entire reform bill. On Wednesday last, Mr. W. Redfern and Mr. Barlow, of this town, proceeded to Coven try, for the purpose of making the necessary preliminary ar rangements on behalf of Mr. Scholefield ; but on their arrival they found the field pm-occupied by Mr. H. L. Bulwer, a zealous reformer, and introduced to the Coventry electors under the auspices of Mr. Ellice. These gentlemen imme diately sought an interview with Mr. Bulwer, and explained to him the object of their mission. They 'fitted, that Mr. Scholefield was not personally desirous of obtaining a seat in Parliament ; his only object in offering himself for the repre sentation of Coventry, being to secure an unqualified vote in favour of the ministerial measure of Reform ; and thatif such were Mr Bulwer's views, Mr. Scholefield would be extremely ' reluctant to divide the force of the reformers. Mr. Bulwer, in reply, said his sentiments were in perfect coincidence with those of Mr. Scholefield, and accordingly gave to Messrs. Redfern and Barlow a written declaration to this effect. These gentlemen immediately returned to Birmingham, where they arrived late the same evening, and communicated the result of their conferences to Mr. ficholefield, who has accordingly abandoned his previous intentions. . TIM ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY. Among the numerous benevolent Institutions, " the glory of our land," perhaps none are mote interesting, and have a more powerful claim on the assistance of the public, as be ing the means of " saving" thousands of our fellow crea tures who were ready to " perish," than this Society ; and we would, as the decided friends of humanity, call on every one who are blessed with the means, to lend a helping hand to those " Gon-like acts" which are exercising by it.— To-day is the Annual Meeting, when an entertainment will be served up, at which all friendly to this great cause aro in vited to attend. On this occasion an interesting spectacle will be presented, by those who have last year been rescued from suspended animation walking before the company—a sight that cannot fsil to speak volumes to the heart of man. We cannot advert to this Society without bringing to recol lection those exertions made by our late excellent Duke of Kent when he presided, and that commanding eloquence he employed by pleading in its behalf ; and alio, in fact, may be held as the very " life" of most of the benevolent Socie ties in London ; and we think his words are still ringing in. our ear. We are led to mention there has, this moment, come under our eye a work on the Holy Land, just pub lished, by William Rae Wilson, Esq. the indefatigable tra veller, who, in pointing out many charitable institutions in foreign countries, alludes to the present thus :—" 1 never hear of an institution of this nature, without recollecting the heartfelt interest which the late Duke of Kent took in that distinguished one in London, of which his Grace the Duke of Northumberland is President, and has produced ' such incalculable good, and those most powerful and feeling addresses which his Royal Highness made at its anniversary. I happened to be present on one occasion when, for the first time, I heard the Duke of Kent plead, in glowing and most powerful terms, in its support, when 30 individuals, fathers, mothers, and children, who had been saved from drowning, in the most miraculous manner, walked round the hall, each with a bible in hand, preceded by a person with two flags. On one of these was inscribed " Animation and population are the sources of national prosperity ;" and on tl.c who, " We praise GOD, and we thank yon." At the :bus: in teresting moment when they passed his Royal Highness, he, in a second address, uttered these words, which I then took down :—" Gentlemen, 0! think of these persor.:3 %O.() have now passed before us, rescued for the present from an eternal world, and for myself, let me declare that I du not know a sight which goes more to the heart cf a man, than seeing his fellow-creatures come forward to thank others, for being the honoured instruments in rescuing them from a watery grave, thus extending their lives, and sflo:d ing them a further opportunity of preparing for that final hour, for which, Gentlemen, all of us ought to prepare." It will be be borne in mind that DRESDEN is the ni•arest capital to W A asAw ; and we conceive, therefore, that the contagion of liberty is spreading—even faster than the clorera morbus—while to abused power, it is equally fatal and dreaded. The Tunes asserted yesterday, that Mr. Peach had retired from Truro, to make room for Sir R. Vyvyan. The mean ing of this insidious statement and wretched fabrication is obvious. Mr. Peach, we aro happy to say, has already been returned for Truro, and Sir R. Vyvyan is secure for Cornwall. ORIGIN OF TIIE PEELS.--I 0 his tour through Eng land, Sir Richard Phillips tells us, that at Manchester he was introduced to the indigent daughters of Hargreave, the inventor of the spinning-jenny, the moving crank, &c. &c. They were poor aged women, living on parochial charity in Salford. My father and mother, said the eldest of them, were spinners by hand like all the villagers at that time in Lancashire, of whom thousands abounded through tha country. They had many children, but they sent each, as soon as it had the use of fingers to assist in spinning ; but our joint earnings were so scanty, that my father, who was very studious and ingenious, began to consider how he could multiply our earnings. Early and late he used to be making trials, and often was reproved by my mother as a foolish schemer; but at length be produced a machine, which he called by her name Jenny, and set it to work in our bed-room ' where I and my siste rs , b y i ts means, spun as much as five or six could do, and finer and more even work. He worked for a Mr. Peel, then a little master iu Blackburn, and beginning very soon to carry home more work in a week, and more uniform in quality than others, Mr. P. often marvelled at his industry and clever ness. My father then made another machine, and keeping it a profound secret, he augmented the surprise of Master Peel, and he so teased my Father about it, that at length he told him he had a bit of a contrivance to multiply the powers of the common wheel. Master Peel then teased him to let him see it, but my father refused again and again. At length Muter Peel so worretted him, that be consented to let him see it, provided he told no one, and gave his word of honour not to imitate it. And sure enough, said the poor women, one morning, for I remember it as though it was but yesterday, my father brought in Muter Peel and his partner, Mr. Yates, while I and my sister were working away at Jenny in the chamber, I was much flustered, but after they had seen it work, and asked many questions, Master Peel dropt sixpence on the floor for me, and went away. The folk now began to talk about father's machine, and as he soon began to get mangy, and was better off than many, a great uproar was made about his machine ; and one day when my father was from home, a great mob assembled, broke into the house, destroyed the two jennies, all our furniture, windows, and every thing in the house. I shall never forget my poor father's coming home, and not having a chair to sit upon, nor any room which had windows left. He was almost ruined; and being pointed at and jeered by every body, he could no longer bear the neighbourhood, so he and all of us set out for Nottingham ; and there my father went into partnership with Dick Arkright, who had been used to shave my father at Bolton ; and they went on in the spinning, my fatberinventing the moving crank, and making all kinds of improvements. But the partnership was out before much was got, and then my father went on making machines for others, till he died in the year 1788, and we buried him, poor anxious soul, at Nottingham. He left my mother, and seven or eight of us ; and as she could not make machines, others stole my father's inventions, and my mother fell into trouble after trouble, and her children into poverty. My brothers afterwards upset Arkright and Strutt's patent to serve others, not themselves; and we have lived to see thousands raised to wealth by our poor father's invention, but they never thought of us. We did hope that Mr. Peel, the Secretary of State, might do something for us, and Mr. Brotherton, of Salford, kindly wrote to him, but he did not even vouchsafe an answer, which I and my sisters thought hard, because when my fa ther left Blackburn and went to Nottingham, he was the first to imitate what my father had shewn him. and made his fortune by our jennies and their improve ment. Dick Arkright used to claim my father's in vention as his own, and therefore would do nothing for poor mother ; and when our evidence upset his patent, be never forgave the family.
