THE STATIMMANI I by e:• 'ednern. the lest occurred, v i ss not of - ravoui .ure 9- fall of one hsif per cent. only. The money price of Wed. 90 1,y was 68. N., A Supplement to the Gazette was published y e s. 'edgy, couteining dispatches from the Government et Bombay, and a number of Officers entrusted with Minor commands throoghont the Continen t ` f India. They are to the s th of June. We g compre. bensive abstract. of their contents. The operations in which these &Wares relate, consist principally of the redectino of various hill forts, some of them ,heated io the neighbourhood of Jonneer, about 40 or 50 miles North of Poons ; others in the direction of Anjeoweel, en theses coast, about 100 miles souls. west of that capital. There is also an account of the storming of Chands, a fortified city about 70 mile, math of Nagpoer, by Lieutenant. Colonel J. W. ADAMS ; ea exploit which that gallant Officer repre. tents to have exhibited, in the highest lustre, _An s pirit and energy of the B ritisb troops. We trad,ow this occasion Cspl• CIIARLICSWONTII and tine. mho; l ak e e S S wounded. There is no mention in thesedia. patches of the surreuder of the PSISIIWA. Tempus mutantur. The Times has changed its note nit the subject of the lamented Sir Sknu Bo sp.or's merits; and so ungenerous and cruelly in. delicate have the attempts of the Courier been to de tract from Sir SAISUEL BOSIILLY'S high estimation, end to diminish his claims to the gratitude and es- Mem of the Public, that they base even disgusted the Times! At, least that raper affects to be disgusted at the more daring and cruel audacity . uf his brother labourer in the same field. "It is not often," it justly observes, "that such virtue, independence,and aisietessotetiness, united with eminent talents, as were evinced by this lamented person through life, are seen among us." What then must be the constitu. lion ef• that mind which can employ itself io vi. lifting and debasing them when they do appear ? Any one who has read the prerioos strictures of the 71mes on this melancholy subject will be able to ap. predate this affected sympathy, and disapprobation of the Courier's insidioes remarks. The Editor of the Courier makes various Comparisons of suffering and fortitude, but carefully abstains from mentioning dowdy one which might beheld up as an example, namely theonexampled heroic endurance under the greatest reversrs, of NAPOLEON 130111PARTE, lately on a* throne above ell the thrones of the Continents stow severed from . tbe wife of his bosom and the child of his apart, • miaow on a distant rock, the prey of lingetimpllsease, and ••doomed to bear the most gelling of all issolence.. Omuta Maw cannot be measured like objects of sense, nor can the esperience of one individual's endurance be considered as evi. deuce of what another can safely encounter. Such comparisons are ridicutobs. It may well be asked, in answer to them all, did the death of any, even the most illustrious of those to whom he is said to have been unequal, occasion a more genersi expression of profound sorrow in all ranks of people, than that of Iff Sir SAMUEL ItoMtLLY ? The question now is, and it will be asked with despondency, notwithstanding the talents that con, tinge to adorn the country, *here are we to find a 'worthy supporter of those measures of universal be nefit which it was his peculiar happiness to institute and promote ?—W here is the Law-giver to be found who shall frame the desired Code of Criminal Jus tice—who shall make punishment subservient to re forrnatioX—st ho shell bar the appearance of yen. • geence froM our Courts, and substitute those milder. principles in the treatment of peccant nature, that . -modern esperience haw taught with such simplicity, • amid practised with such success ?—An article on the subject of a proposed Meeting of the Electors of • \ Westruioster, to supply the place of their deceased • 4 Itepretedtative., will be found iu another column. We give in another column a notice of the Meet inn held at Rochester, to take into consideration the legality, or rather illegality, of Lord BINNING'S re turn for that city. Lord Bremer; is the eldest son of the Earl of liactotmoToo. Theeldest son of a Scotch Peer was ineligible to-represent a Scotch borough in the Parliament of that kingdom ; and by . an Act passed its the Parliament of Scotland, which is recited —.end tetifted by the Act of Union, sth of Queen Atene,vh. ff. sec. 1'2., it is enacted, that none shall be capsble of representing a Scotch borough , in the lititish ,Parliament, who was not before capable of representing.it in that of Scotland. It is asserted its justification Of Lord Bisrinica's qualification, that although the eldest son of a Scotch Peer cannot re present a Scotch shire or burgh, there is no law to disqualify him from sitting fur an English shire or •' borough. Wed* not see thet'the point urged against Lord iltnatmo's eligibility is or ought to be consi f• 'ouered as put to rest by this interpretation of the case. The Acts of Union have been received and ratified as a part of the British law, and thus ought to be allowed to have their effect, at least open those who most naturally come under their two legen. It is clear that the Scottish law con templated the disqualification of the oldest son of a Peer of Scotland from silting in Parlia ment. The Parliament of England is now that of Scotland also. It matters nopilug to the object of ... tfie disqualification far whet shire or borough the per• son may be returned. Serpa for propriety and an cientusage, if not fee public opinion, ought to be held es law sufficient in such a question. We beef already a sufficiency of contending laws. It I. reported that the Doke of WELLINGTON is to be offered the command of the army in the Nether lands, composed of Prussians, Dutch, and, it is be, lieved, Russians. It will be remembered, that we allowed by Treaty 75,0001. of the French contribu tions to strengthen the Dutch frontier. Tourney, Mons, and other fortresses, were to be placed in a state of perfect repair, and equal to resist open t r enches. We are informed with respect to she ap plication of this sum, that the outworks of faloris end other places are scarcely half completed, and that Tourney could make no resistance against a corps without a►tillery. We repeat, that we hope thernis no fouudation for the rumour that the weak etc* in which these fortresses are, and the apprehensions of his Netherland Majesty will not be made a pretest for an additional burtheu on this country. It wilt be the duty of the new Parliament to took strictly to to Lord CASTLEEVAGII'S engagements with the Kings whom he has oudertakets to support. Yesterday the Puke of YORK transacted military usitress with the Patrice REGENT for a considerable time. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE having received en in. vitation from the Emperor of RUSSIA, to meet his mother, the Dowager Empress, at the Court of the King of the NETHERLANDS, be embarked on Wed nesday from Dover for Calais. The Dake lest pro ceeds to Paris. Yesterday evening Alderman Woofs and family graved at his house in South A udley-street, from the Continent. The Worthy Alderman has been tra velling through France, part of Italy, Piedmont, Switzerland, and part of Germany, in several of which places he has been liberally allowed to visit the Criminal Prisons and other public institutions. A Paris letter of the 2cl inst. says, " The decline of the Feuds has continued, but every thing an nounces that it will soon stop. What in a great measure occasioned the fall was, that the Bank had reduced its discounts from 90 to 60 dais, and after wards from 60 to 45 days; 'but we learnt that it has just repealed its decree, and that it will continue to discount at 60 days until it can do it at 90, as for merly." A private letter from Paris, written on Monday evening, states, that on Sunday the Contractors for ' the Loan' sent elf an express to Ais-la-Chapelle, to requjre air extension of the term stipulated in the T r eaty for complering the instalments ; and that, in stead of nine months, they should be allowed seven. teen mouths, to pay up the whole of the Loan; they otter. in that case to make each instalroeut at the place where it falls due, instead of paying it to the Age-ts of the respective Powers at Paris ; thus pro ducing a saving of commission and other charges, sod efforuing a security against any loss that might arise from the variation's in the exchanges. In regard to the exportation of specie, active means had been re sorted to, to pot a stop to that, as it was considered, injurious traffic. The principal commercial houses in Paris had met, ago! entered into a voluntary agree ment with the Bank. not to practise it themselves, and to discountenance and prevent it by every pos. aible means in others. It is reported that great alterations are about to take place in the operative departments of the Court of King's Bench. The lion. Mr. LAW, son of Lord ELLeenowOuau, is to be removed from his situation of Clerk at Nisi Prius, to make way for a sort of the new Chief Justice; and the Secretary, whose situa. lion has not hitherto been considered as contingent upon the person of the first Judge of the Court, is also to be displaced, to make way for a dependent of 'the new Chief Jost ice. • Mr. Serjesnnt VAUGHAN and Mr. GAZELEE were 'yesterday confidently spoken of in Westminster-hall, as the new Puisme Judges. To-morrow being the First Sunday in Micheelmas Term, the Judges, Serjeants, and principal Barristers will go in procession to Si. Paul's, where an appro priate Setllloll wili be preached by the LORD MAYOR'S Chaplain. Besides. the action against Sir N. CONANT, Mr. BUTT has served notices of trial, for nest Term, upon Mr. Newmtst, the Keeper of Newgate, for detain ing him -18 days illegally ; and also upon Mr. domes, 'the Marshal of the King's Bench, for nine days' illegal detention, and breaking open his doors tv recover the fine of 10001.: he has also served notice of trial upon the Stuck Exchange, for the money stopped upon the disgraceful hoax day. The remains of Sir Samuel, BOMILLY were re moved yesterday morning, at six o'clock, from his ►ate residence, - Missed-ware, for interment in the family vault of Lady Rosittix's father, at Kuill, near Presteign, Radnorshire. The cavalcade con sisted of six out-riders, a hearse and six, followed by a coach and six, with the butler only. An express was sent oil', on the death of Sir SAmvEr., to stop her Ladyship's funeral, till the arrival of his corpse ; and it is expected the mournful ceremony will take place shout Wednesday nest. the interment of the re mains of Sir S. Roatim.v is to take place at Knill, in pursuance of the directions contained in his will. The late Sir S. 11014ILLT is supposed to have an nually netted from 16 to 17,0001. by his professional exertions. A letter from Dover of the sth inst. says, arrived last night and this morning, about 20 sail of trans ports from Calais, having on board several companies of the Royal Artillery, also troops of Royal Horse Artillery, Artillery Drivers, horses, field-pieces, and stores. The 95th regiment, new in the barracks et Sun derlend, abo . ve 800 men in strength, has received or: dens for their being disbauded, which will take plat► in a few days. A body of troops, amounting, we understand, 'to 650, is immediately to be dispatched to the lalsolhef Cl) Inn, and a similar number to St. Helena. Th e L o an MAyow Elect has made the most ex tensive preparations for the Civic ceremony of Mon day next, when the procession will be uncommonly spleudid ) ptsticularly as far es regards the armour. WEStNINsTER ELECTION. lb. melancholy fate of the lamented Sir Seem! Ba hiW to Peeress the public attention. The more bin lass is considered, the greater it is felt—the mo re lirtsvirtees and talents are brought forward in review, the more. difficult does it appear to supply t i ro place. 4 At the bir, his business is distributed among. many persons ; . but.where shall we find a substitute (or him in titit•Senate, as Representative of the City o f Westeriostir ? In this difficulty, it has been pro. • posed by several resveetahle Electors of that City to convene a General Meeting, for the purpose of con. sidering a fit person to pat in nomination, with which view they• have trensteitted the following address to Sic Essweis Burdett TO SIR FRANCIS BURDETT, BART, • Westminster. NW/. 5. UM. !it,— A great public duty has again devolved upon the Eke. to y, et eshainster. The death of )out lamented Colleague which the national grief proclain•ed to he a et:Rimini calamity, is, in no itim' of view, tome to he deplored. than us it will expose the Electors of Westminster to the menaces of power and the arts of corrup-, lion.

We are agreed on our principles ; 1 remains ooty to actee ',poodle person N him it tau, be expedient to choose m 1110 he isor:tile nod e&eieut advocate of those principles. For this purpose, it has appeared to the undersigned, indispensable to consult the opinions of a General Meeting of their Brother Electors. so early as may he consistent with their feelings of !'regret for the loss of their Lite illustrious Representative. t With the same object, is e beg leatie respec.fully to reqntilt that you.

Douglas Kinrisisd: and it is not yet known whether Sit' Murray Maxwell means to eater the lists again. ROC ESTE it MbETING. A Meeting was held at Rochester, on Tuesday, to petition against the legality of Loyd Bin cc •ii return to serve in the ensuing Parliament. — Tile purpose of the Meeting haring been stat.d, Major Tonitees made a long and able speech, in which he took a review of the late war, and its injurious cloisequences to the liberties of Europe. These effects, he said, began to be seen by the country at the late General Election; the claim for new nit n toed new measures became loud and strong; and wherever the Elective Franchise was eufficiently open to enable the voice of the Peo ple to he' heard, the opponents to The Pitt System, god the friends to Retrenchment and Referm, were returned. Rochester, however, long renowned for successful struggles in the cause of Liberty, disap. pointed public expectation, and was behind the rest of the country in the race of independence.-- Thoegh the blue iuterest considerably predominated, yes•tawitig to at unfortunate misunderstanding and division evetingst them, the Purples obtained the power of returning a Candidate who hid the hardi. hood to avow, id its 11x11, that he was an enemy to all Reform, and the friend to all the most obnoxious 1 measures of that system which has proved to be pregnant uith national calamity and ruin.—" 13ut, Gentlemen, I come amongst you this evening not to exasperate, but heal divisions—not to indulge in la. mentations over the past, but to afford, as I hope, a glorious o pportenity of retrieving what has been done, and of taking the lead, as • heretofore, in the race of littlependence. It is the opinion of Counsel that Lord ginni = ng is not qualified to represent you it Parliament, sod that a new writ most be issued for the city of Rochester." Major Turret's then stated the Law of Election, as it related to the quali fications of the eldest son of a Scotch Peer to sit for an English county or borough. Mr. UntaiLEY also addressed the Meeting in an appropriate speech, and upon his motion it was una nimously resulved, among other Resolutions, " Teat ' a Committee he appointed , to take into consideration the commonicatioil made by Major Towns, • re specting the legality of Lord Binning's qualifications to represent the City of Rochester, and to report to the Freemen at large what measures it may be ex pedient to pursue, in order to obtain the lawful sod independent exercise of their elective franchise."
