Laitit.s AND GENTLEMEN, V II E extreme Difficulties which present themselves to J_ a Candidate for a Seat in the EAST INDIA DIRECTION, iu making personal application to each Proprietor, and which may, unintentionally, in some instances, cause this mark of respect to be emitted. induce the Committee of LIEUT.-COLONEL SIR WILLIAM SOt'lSli, Bart. to press upon your notice. the strong grounds upon which that Gentleman has been encouraged to solicit your Suffrages. 'I hey essentially consist in a long course of Military Service perdmised in the Honourable Company's Army in India, both in the Field and in Garrison ; and which. in repeated instances. have attuned for hint the marked •ppmbation of the distinguishes! Offi cers under whose command heetved. . . . . In the early part of his Military Career, he served with the Army before Seringspeta rt, in the rnluction of the Dutch Settle ments in Malabar. a ct the Capture of Columbo, and also through out the course of the Cingalize War. In a later period of hi. service, he had the merit of suggesting and organizing a most efficient Plan for recruiting the Army : a Plan adopted by the Government, and acted upon with extensive knit important results. He WAS subsequently engaged, during the arthotea War in the Deccan, in collecting and forwarding supplies for the Army tooter the command of the Duke of %Vellington, for which service his (lure 1 , 1314 pleased to transmit to Sir William Young an expression of his high satisfaction.

BiPhomiate, l'arch 3ht, 1112fi, The Lord Bishop or C E.4TER in the Chair. It wu rewired .hat the following Statement should be submitted to the Public : The Committee who have been entrusted with the distribution or :he money subscribed for the relief of the distressed Silk Weavers in Soitallields, have now the painful task of antmunoing to the public, that while the fends plated at tiseir disposal ate very nearly exhausted. the Mimeo which they were Intended torelieved remains undiminished in extent and severity ; in point of feet, it may be said to have increased. for the relief which the Committee its; been able to allow to persons with families. has been so small as barely to support therm and that but scantily, with the neces saries of life, Loving no provision for the payment of rent, or of debts, contracted under the pressure of distress, before the com mencement of the subscription. About seven hundred persons who have received relief, have now obtained a small portion of work ; but their places have been noire than supplied by those who were at work, and are now wholly out of employ. The Committee have now been sitting every day (Sundays ex eepted h since the 31it of January. in the Vestry-room at Spital fields Church, distributing relief ; and nearly sixteen thousand per sons have been supported during the whole of that time, and are still supported entirely, upon the scanty pittance which they have received front this source. The balance now remaining in the Treasurer's hands does not amount to the sum required for ore week's distribution. Under these circumstances. the Committee feel it their duty to make an earnest appeal to the benevolence of those whom Pros i dence has blessed with the mean. of mitigating the distresses of their fellow -creatures; and persuade themselves that the foregoing simple and unexaggerated statement will produce such an addition to their funds, as may prevent the sudden dryh.g up of those sources to which .n many thousand poor persons have to look fot the means or existence. - 613.1,30 10 12.100 0 C.

MarTING OF TO E FRF.EHOLDERS OF WEYMOUTH *sin Mercom ns-lteGisi—A numerous and respectable Meeting of the Frethelders and inhabitants of Weymouth was held on 'Thursday last, at the King's Head in that town, for the purpose of taking into consideration the state of the representation of the borough, Mr. Robert Penny in the chair, when the following resolutions were unani mously passed : " That this Meeting feels gratified at the opportunity thus af forded by Mr. Fowell Button to hit constituents of publicly ea. pressing their opinion of his Parliamentary conduct, and at the manly and satisfactory manner In which he has met the insidious, charttes recently fabricated and circulated in the town againt him. • l'hat it was, at a general meeting of the Freeholders, held on the 9th of June, 111111, at which Messrs. Ure, Wallace, Williams, and Fowell Buxton, were present, unanimously resolved, • That the arrangement which has taken place, by which the town will re turn two independent Members, appears equally honourable to all parties ; that it is to be founded on a recognition of public princi. pies, and must tend to promote the best interests of the inhabitants. " That in order to give full effect to the arrangement, this Meet ing pledges itself to give their utmost support to Mr. lire, Mr. Wallace, Mr. Williams, and Mr. 11.taton ; the two former on the intere , ts of the Trustees, the two latter on the part of the Town.' " Which resolutions were confirmed at a suasequent Meeting of the Freeholders and Inhabitants held the sth of March, 1020, to continue in force during the minority of Sir Frederick George Johnstone. •• That this Meeting, adhering to the foregoing resolutions, and approving of the conduct of Mr. Fowell Buxton, will support him at the next election." Mr. F. BUXTON, previous to the resolutions being passed, ad dressed the Meeting at great length. The following is the sub stance of his speech, which was received with acelaniation. He Raid that he had published the hand-bill which he then read, for the purpose of giving the freeholders and inhabit ors of the town an opportunity of making any rem-Irks which they might think were merited by his public conduct; he stood there to answer every question that might be put to him ; and he earnestly invited any one who thought he had reason to complain, to state the grounds of his complaint. After waiting for some time, and no one having made any charge against him, Mr. Buxton proceeded thus:_" It gives me great satisfaction to meet you here. Few mines have been more gratifying to me than nty late visit to Weymouth, and in that visit nothing has given me more pleasure than the large and respectable attendance this day. I have been told that the views and feelings of the people of Weymouth had been changed with regard to me, and I should find that I, who so lately was received with favour by you all, must now he prepared for decided hosti lity. My visit has been pleasant, because it has dissittattel these idle but painful rumours. It has shown me that those who charged you with such fickleness and versatility, if they bc enemies of mice, are libellers of you. - I appeal to the gentlemen who did me the favour to attend me in my eativa.sa. I appeal to you, who received me at your houses, whether any thing could be more friendly or more remote from hostility then the reception I have met with in your presence and at your hands. Front a great majority of the town I have received positive promises of sti;:port i and of those with whom I was not so fortunate, many assured me that they had not and would not pledge themselves against me till they heard the defence I should make against the charges which would be alleged agninet tne. Do I complain of thin ?—Far from it: I think it the right of every Englia an closely to sift and nsrrowly to scruti nise the conduct of 'representatives; and if he find reason to complain, it is his rig t r and his duty to do so. That i s the trite. rion by which I igah to be tried: if I have done wrong, reject me without scruple; but if you think I have done right, let no private interest induce you to desert me. Here then I stand ready to meet all charges, and my only difficulty is, that those who were so loud in their accusations during my absence, are themselves absent or silent when I offer them an oppattenity of proving their charges. As my accusers are absent, I must state for them the insinuations which they have uttered. And first, as to the question to which I know you justly attach so much importance—the Catholic question —it has been said that 1 ant a friend to the Catholic refigion—that I have invariably voted in favour of the Catholics—and by one gen tleman it has been said that, as bigoted an I in my attachment to their principles, that I should be glad to see the Pope predominant in England ;in all which there is not one word of truth. I never have given a vote in favour of the Catholics. I should have studied history to very little purpose —to very 'dale purpose should I have seen the condition of the Irish population, if I did not know that a more terrible curse could not be to this country than the predomi nance of Papacy. 1 am a Protestant in the fullest sense of_tist word, and there Is no sacrifiee I would not make, rather 'than gill a vote wbick might tend to istroduoe the temporal or spi • ritual authority of the Pope. But this is my difficulty ; I be lieve that religious prejudices will never be cured by reason. It is the nature of man—and the more he is generous, the more it is his nature—to resist compulsion in matters of faith. We have been trying for centuries the experiment of force—and how has it sucid ? Have we convened a stogie village ? Hats ra of late made a single proselyte by all the disabilities we have im posed ? Is not the Irish population more Catholic than ever? and is there not reason to believe that so it will remain till pre judices are removed by the removal of all penalties on the score of religion ? Men always have clung, and always will cling, more closely to a religion, if they suffer for doing so. I say I am a Protestant, and I firmly believe our faith superior to that of the Catholics ; and I am not more sure that light will disperse dark ness, and truth vanquish error, than I am sure that, when pre judice, and anger, and animosity are removed, the Protestant faith will predominate over the Catholic ; but when I say this, let no one super.- that I pledge myself to vote for or against the Catholics; I will make no such pledge. I shill vote as I think most consistent with the welfare of the Protestant religion ; hut whether that shall be for the Catholics or against them, is a point which I must reserve to myself. If the whole body of my consti tuents were to say to me, " Pledge yourself in any way on any question, and we will support you," I would renounce my seat in stantly, and cheerfully, rather than subject myself to any such con ditions. When I first stood for this borough, said, "Free and indepeedent in the widest sense of the terms, freedom and inde pendence-1 will enter Parliament, or I will never enter its walls ;" and what I then said, I now repeat. I will not have my hands tied or my judgment in shackles on any public question. I turn to other parte of my conduct. lam bound to renuer you an account of the manner in which I have exercised the privilege which you have conferred on me ; and I say again, it' it should eprear that I have prostituted it to purposes of private advantage, if I have re membered my interests and forgotten nay duties, I have no claim upon your support. My political life has been devoted to tour great übjects—the improvement of our Criminal Law sad our Pri sons, the extinction of the Slave Trade, and the mitigation and final extinction of Slavery. As to the first—the reform of one . . Criminal Code—is that an unworthy object ?Isit a party object ? I answer both questions by saying that Within the last fortnight Mr. Peel has undertaken the same task, has used the same argu ments, and we have felt the greatest gratification in placing in the hands of a gentleman so distinguished for talent and humanity the task of reforming our Criminal Law. Next, as to the prisons. Ten years ago they were a disgrace to this country ; the young were mingled with the old—the suspected with the convicted--the youthful in crime with the hoary in iniquity, and our prisons were schools and colleges for the multiplication of criminals. They tended only to increase the number of those who live by the plunder of the honest. For two Sessions I devoted myself to their reform : success crowned our efforts, and a Bill passed Parliament with the unanimous concurrence of all parties, and with the cordial sup port of Government. The prisons of England have undergone a great reformation, and our success has not ended there. Through. out the whole Continent of Europe our system has been adopted ; in France;inlfierrnany, in Spain, in Russia, they have altered their prisons after the example we set them. Was this an unworthy object ?—was it a party object? I can say I look back to my share in that task with satistuction, and 1 chit's!: you cordially for having placed we iu a situation where, according to my limited ability, 1 could render some service to my country. The last three years of my political life have chiefly been devoted to the abolition of the slave trade, and the mitigation of slavery. Is the slave t-ade an evil?—it is the chief of evils. No imagination can conceive, and uo tonguelean tell, the horrors of that ttade. It was stand last year. by his Majesty's Government, that forty thousand human beings were shipped from a single port of Africa, so inconsiderable as not even to be mentioned upon the leap; forty thousand of our fellow-creaturee !! ! In August lust, says Capt. Woolcombe, of the R.N., of all the vessels I was on board of, this—" the Diana"—was in the most deplorable condition; the stench from the accumulation of dirt, joined to that of so many human beings packed together in a small space, the men all ironed in pairs, was intolerable. To add to the scene of misery, the small-pox had broken out amongst them. Commodore !Sullen, who visited the " Brazilian Friends," says, its filthy and horrid state beggars all description: many females were far advanced in pregnancy, and several had infants from four to twelve months of age : all were crowded together in one mass of living corruption ; and yet this ves sel bad not her complement by nearly one hundred ! And how were these wretched creatures collected ? I will give you one recent ex ample:—An African Chief had engaged to supply a French slave trader with two hundred boys and girls; he sent out his army, sur rounded one of his own towns, burnt every house, murdered every man and woman, and delivered the children to the ruffian who com manded the French vessel. This is but one of a thousand instances which have recently occurred; and it you grant me the privilege of being yourßepresentative in Parliament, that privilege shall be em ployed in endeavouring to exterminate that horrid and inhuman practice of slave-trailini. Again., as to slavery—the people of England have too long :slumbered over the miserable condition of the negroes in the tt Indies. When three years.ago I first broached that subject, we were told that the catclitein of the her , slave was to he earst l by the British peasant; hut light has brncen in; the truth has been displayed by our exertions, and within a month I have hard hies Majesty's Attorney-General describe slavery in the West Indies as a detestable aysteni—the Solicitor- General as an accursed system—the Under Secretary of Stare for the Colonies as an execrable system, and Mr. Canning as a system full of all moral atrocities. Now I have detailed to you the great objects in which I have embarked : if you think them worthy ob jects.atol such as, yo, approve in ypur Representative. I hope you wifl confer upon me tAe office of prosecuting them in the mat Par. lament. If you think i should have been better employedlepro curing a piece in the Excise for this man, or in the Cussontshe that man, than in reforming our criminal code and our priatine-sin mitigating slavery and suppressing the slave trade—vow he wefts other candidate.—l sit down repeating that I will make no pledge u to the Catholic question, except that I shall act in the way width I consider most for the interests of my country and for the Interests of the Protestant religion, and declaring that, if I am your repre sentative in the next Parliament, I shall labour with uocesau). energy for the abolition of .the slave trade and the gradual octane. tion of slavery; and if success shall reward our efforts—will you, or will your children, have reason to repine that you support& e man who devoted himself, and the influence you gave him, to the muse of humanity, of his country, and of mankind ? , WP:YMOUTII, MARCH 30.--This morning an active/RH , yeas was commenced by Masterton Ure, Esq. on behalf of himself and the Right Hon. Thomas Wallace, seconape nied by a numerous assemblage of freeholders; indeed we never witnessed so large and respectable a number scowl panying any canvass as on the present occasion. We can not hut sincerely congratulate the town on the marked sod positive manner in which the freeholders expressed them a-lves, that they were determined to support those Mero hers only who were approvers of his present Majesty's Go vernmtmt, and decided opposers to any further concessions to the professors of the Catholic religion. REPRESENTAI lON OP BVORCESTER.—CoI. Davies at rived in this cite on Friday, and commenced his canvass on Saturday.—Mr. Robinson still continues his canvass. yesterday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, Lord Deerhurst made his public entry into this city : his recer don was most flattering. His Lordship commenced Lis cantos to-dav; his friends, as well as those of Colonel Davies and Mr. Robinson, semi confident of success. The supporters of the lattergentlemsa state, that, in addition to a very successful canvass in the city, he has a most decided majority of out-votes. The Colonel's friends appear to be equally satisfied with the result of their canvass. A severe contest may be looked for.-11Parcetter Journal. AMERICAN FINANCES. The New York General Advertiser gives the following statement relative to the operation of the Sinking Fund up to the year IMO, and strongly reeornmetuls the provisions of the Act relating to that fund, passed by Congress in the year 1817, to be strictly attended to. FEN. 17• IMPORTANT FINANCIAL DOCUMENT. We give this evening the report of the Committee of Ways sod Means, to whom cons referred the annual ReporE of the Secretary of me Treasury. It is an able and important document, from tits pen, as it is understood. of Mr. Ill'hane, Chairman of the Con odttee, embracing " a clear and full, but concise, statement of the anticipated operation of the Sinking Fuud till the year 1839, ensile shows, in the moat satististtory manner, that the while ore& Sat por Cents., amounting to 311.300,000 dollars, will be paid of by the ' Ist of January, 11129, provided a reasonable economy be observed in the public expenses. and also provided the wise provisions of the Sinking , Fund Act of 1817 be adhered to." It will not, however, be a very welcome document to the Secretary of the Treasury. whose Retort, it will be recollected, we only praised for the ability with which i: wax written, while we condemned its leading doe trims'. The Committee has shown that the Secretary has imitated Mr. Crawford so far as to fall into several mistakes. They have shown, on his data, that the Secretary " has undet.estimatul , the operation of the Sinking Fund, in the present and the nest yeas, only 6.1;43,196 dollars ! by entirely overlooking an important pro vision in the Sinking Fund Act of IEII7 ; they have also showy', that the scheme of borrowing, proposed by the Secretary, is net only useless, but that it would postpone the payment of the public debt, and cause a loss to the Government of 481,924 dollars. The Committee of Ways and Means has also decidedly condemned his plan of placing the stockholders, who exchanged stock wise the law of the last Session, upon an equality with the subscribers to a new loan, to be hereafter made, if carried into effect." , inns tigi latter point, although those subecribers have no positive ground of complaint, still we should rather Incline to the policy,. nap, else equity, of adopting the suggestion of the Seerstlfq. rt whist heads than oars must determine the maim. . .

Stn—A statement having appeared in most of the newspapers of a transaction which took place in my house on Monday last, in which the facts are, as I am informed. and have no doubt, greatly exaggerated, I trust you will do me the justice to insert the follow. ing statement :- - That, although I have had constant complaints from the young men in my employ of the very violent and, indeed, outrageous conduct of my apprentice, William Dennis Kean, towards them ; and although, during the whole period of his apprenticeship, his behaviour towards me has been marked wttb'distespect anti dirt). bedienee. lam far from approving of the conduct which 'reported to have betn pursued against him upon the occasion in question of which 1 was nut acquainted until the afternoon of Monday. gs it may be imagined, from the report, that I have authorised MI assistants to inflict pznional chastisement upon this young man for neglect of his duty as an apprentice, I beg leave to state that this is by no means the case ; but I admit, that upon some of the re. peered occasions of complaint of his insolent and violent coniloct, I may have said that it was impossible fur me to interfere in thee• disputes, and that. the only course to pursue would be to chastise the youth for his insolence. In the event of the threatened prosecution of the young men pro. ceeding to trial, I sin confident a very different complexion will tie ' put upon the case, twin that which the ex pact: statement of my apprentice has shown. ' An early insertion will oblige. I am, Sir, your humble servant, GEO. CROFT. _ _ _ 63, Oxford -street, March 31. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. I have little doubt but that you will have many replies to the letter of Mr. Niqiitlaw, contained iu your paper of this day. If yon think the few following remarks worthy a place in your Well cos. ducted journal, please to give them publicity, if not, attribute than to no improper motive on the part of the writer, and bard theq•. The advance of medical science all mankind is equally interested in. and we are too apt to believe that which we desire, in nothing more so than in the promised effects of medicine; hence the wide field for dishonourable practice on the part of medical men. by abusing the feelings and confidence of their patients. I haws nothing of Mr. Whitlow, except from the newspapers, and a smolt pamphlet or two on the subject of treating scropliulous diseases at Margate, and I most !solemnly disclaim all wish to utter what may be thought injurious to him, bat he must permit me to ask.a ' question or two on what he himself states. " The medicines; I had ,„irpinister-d were -powerful absorbents,* and thereby occattioned. considerable quantity of these mercurial preparations (corm-iv. sublimate and red precipitate) to be taken into the system T; a consequence was. as I have affirmed, that the patients were rio t tar from losing their lives." May I ask Mr. Whitlow, in tle name of, I hope, an honourable profession, if be has diseove•el any specific to eerie absorption from the surface, and if so, whot that medicine be ? Assuming Mr. IVhitlaw to possess this know ledge (with the other means of curing scrophula), he must he a proud man, but he cannot be a jusenne, unities he impel: to his medical brethren, for the use of his fellow creatures, whose hoppi ness he states he has so much at heart, those secrets which lie al• tie new holds. Ile cannot object to it on the *core of losing a due remuneration ; for when the country at large shall have the opportt, nits , of experiencing such benefit, what suffering individual silo!d not rather apply to head. quarters than to an out-post—to the master, rather than the disciple ? His more reasonable grounds would be. tear of being inundated with claimants for his attention. If Mr. 11'hitlaw were to remove every scrophulous disease and taint front every individual in London so infected, I fear little benefit yroott: accrue to the inhabitants of Caithnesshire. or any other remote part of the country, unless he would condescend to make his brethren his agents for exerci,:iig those feelings of humanity sod kiatlnina towards the natives ci Great Britain, which prompted him to kiss the United States. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, EDICUS. • The printer, I conclude, not being medical, is the emote ✓.' what I take w bee slight error. We term that an absorbent whiea of itself absorbs, be it a medicine or vessel. 111 r. W.'s medicine could not of itself hare absorbed the mercurial preparations. March 30:h.
