" It you vAtte your prone* lie. and libvrliea—if yen wish to preserve thin, by mente: hirh our Constitution still happily supplies o, with, now is the time Drake your stand." Thursday morning, John l'rinsep, Esq. the High Bailiff, proclaimed the Election fiir the Borough of Southwark, after which Mr. Lin.lsay, the Deputy, together with Mr. Law, the Keeper of the Compter, and Messrs Reeve and Wise, the Marsh:dollen, On horseback, went round to the corners of the live parishes, and repeated the same proclamation. 111 r. Calvert and fir It. Wilson have commenced an active canvass, althongh it was rumoured that Mr. Barclay, Mr. Potts, or Mr. Turton, would be proposed. The Election for the City of London, where there are six Candidates, commences on Tuesday next ; that for Middlesex, where a younger son of the late Mr. Whitbread is talked of as a third Candi date, is fixed for Friday, the 17th instant ; but that tbr Westminster is not yet determined upon :—it is expected to commence in about ten days. It may not be amiss, on the eve of a General Election, to caution persons to beware bow they lend qualifications to Candidates who arc in want of such, as there have been instances where they have been never returned. It is expected that a pledge will be required from all Candidates who come forward at the General Election and aspire to represent free and indepen dent Electors, as to their political principles, and the line of conduct which they mean to pursue, particularly with respect to the important question of Parliamensury Reform. Extract of a letter published in a ministerial pa per, dated Stockton, .March I.—Mr. Wharton, one .of the candidates for this county, accompanied by a numerous and respectable party of gentlemen, attempted to commence a canvass yesterday in Sun derland, but they were so violently attacked, and so grossly insulted by. the mob, that they were com pelled to take refuge in a solicitor's house, where the windows were broken, and the house would most probably have been destroyed, had not the mi. litary arrived from the barracks and quelled the riot. Mr. Lambtan is canvassing here to-day, accompa nied by " Agrimony Tom's" crew, and all the awbility of the town. FROM TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. BY THE KING.-A I'llo' LAMATION.

Since the breaking up of the long frost, ploughing anti field-culture generally has proceeded a ith all possible dili gence, and in proportion to the factliturs ode.eil by the soil. The late and present renewal 1,1 the rigours of wiles lei have occasioned some impediment, end also stone de glee of oujuly to invipient vegetatiou. wheals, how ever, and all arable lands, will receive a NI si awn, of the benefits which never fail to accrue from a frost of considerable duration, attended alai a stifficient cover of snow. The youug clove's, and all clops of that desiiption, it is apprehended, have sudeied greatly fr the rigout of the frost, which has been so severe as to ruin great breadths of :Swedish turnips; as to the CUM. 111011 turnips, they are in many parts totally destroyed. Considerable quantities of potatoes in store have beets limited, whilst the apples have never been known to keep . better, and never was there a mote plentiful season of that most useful fruit. The low meadows have been ge nitally flooded from the sudden thaw ; and the wheats, so ?inhaled, are supposed to have aecrived heavy damaire Cattle, and all stock, have done urn at the hoinestall; all such as have been exposed abroad will take a lona time, and expensive keep, to recover their lost condition and aptitude for thrift. Money is said to be scarce in the folllliry, although its abmidance is boasted in the meld ()- polo. Prices, whether fur coin or flesh meat, have suffered little vat ration. Wool a doll trade, with the es. ception of a few places, where the iiiii veintnt is not very noticeable. Nothing is doing in hops ; the stock on h aid great. Horses of all desciiptions fetch less money. Universal cinuplairits of distress in the country. In the Nor th, it is reported that the labourer call scarcely, by hid earnings, " keep life and soul together." at 41 the poor's sates are teal folly advancing. Tin and twelve shillings per week, sail to be the maxi 1111 l us obtained in the best counties fur those lahourets who can find em ployment. Heavy losses expected to be sustained by the destruction of the turnip crop, of %hick, a 1 1111 l ith !wore, there will be full experience. Indeed 1111101 hay and corn has already been expended mum cattle and sheep, and moult expence incurred by the necessity of picking up the turnips from the frozen sort, where they coital he at all tome at. But all these difficulties and losses, in a long frost, seem iusulfick tit to prevail on the unmindful farmer to take the easy and comparatively unexpensive method of taming part of his turnips, certainly one of the best and must profitable of his economical precautions. 'l'ne heavy heart with which the farmer proceeds in his la bours, Is reiterated through most of the reports. Prom the aspect or things, Inc can discovt r no hope of tewwie. ration. This, indeed, may come to be a swat ce of bitter 'egret to those who have sided wills the measures, %%Inch, during the last lise.antl-twenty years, has e (nought such bitter distress upon the country; it may, in good time, work a favourable change in their sentiments, and re kindle their pairimilin; Colts liming them, that all rem:. dies shot tot removing the whole burden tit 'cessa ry and corrupt taxation, are Inert plausible And contemptts ble inanities.
