TO THE; REFORMERS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND ray very easily be led to be unfair, and very frequenti; ars so ')y motives and impulses not of a dishonest character—by baste, by thoughtlessness, by inadventure, by prejudice, by passion. IRELAND. No. 14.116. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBE - R 9, 1837 PRICE sd. FELLOW listoßmaas, THE MEN of BIRMINGHAM, throu g h the COUNCIL of their POLITICAL UNION, address you. ''We have been long and patiently silent. A period has at length ar rived when silence is shame. We have hitherto been loth to ap- DeS distrustful of the Whig Ministry. We looked upon them as Controlled in their wishes by the hostility of the Court and the Aristocracy. We trusted that their hearts were with the people ; and that when a fitting opportunitiarrived, their deeds would jus tify our trust. That opportunity has arrived. The Court is no longer cold or adverse, but warm and confiding. The Ministry are free to act upon their own impulses. They have announced their intentions to the world. If yen are prepared to repudiate all those principles for which You and we have been long and zealously contending, you will ap prove of those intentions. If you feel in truth and sincerity the importance of giving free course to the great Bill of 1832—0 f reme dying its defects—of supplying its omissions—of making it what you hoped it would be, and what, by its authors, it was pronounced to be, the second great charter of English liberty, and an honest exposition and fulfilment of the first—you will pronoUnce upon them the judgment of condemnation, which they so well merit. By the Birmingham Political Union, and by all Reformers that are soundly instructed in the public wants, three things have ever been deemed necessary to give perfection to the Reform Bill. We never held that any other than a temporary line of distinction could e r ought to be drawn between one class of the community and an other, in respect to that highest social privilege, the choice of our Legislators. As the necessity of the poorest, as well as the super fluity of the wealthiest, is called upon to minister towards the sup- Port of the State, we have ever said, and reason says the same, that the poorest equally with the wealthiest ought to have a voice in the management of the common funds to which all contribute. We accepted of the ten-pound franchise as valuable only by its approxi tnation to the just and perfect rule of free government, by which taxation and representation are declared to be in principle co-exten sive. Recognizing in all our fellow citizens of sane mind and legal freedom, the inalienable right of suffrage, we include as an essen tial requisite that, in the exercise of the suffrage, no man should be overawed by force or swayed by corruption ; but that every voter should give his vote freely and honestly, as his own judgment and conscience may dictate. We ai-eawaieOf the risk that the electoral body must incur in parting with their power for a number of years, as well as of the incompetency which is a natural consequence of the rare and distant exercise crf,the franchise, and therefore look upon the dura tion of Parliament for a single day longer than the proper discharge of legislative duties absolutely requires, to be dangerous to the ho testy of the representative, and injurious to the interests of the constituency. Yet so thinking and believing, we have been slow to press upon the Government our demand of extended Suffrage—of Ballot—of short and certain Parliaments. We have been content to wait the issue of the Reform Bill ; and, as experience should direct, to urge our claims, or still to postpone them. But we have now witnessed three elections since 1832, and what have they proved ? Is the cumber of electors in any degree adequate to the population? Rave violence and corruption ceased or diminished? Have the appeals to the people been regulated by a desire of consulting the Interests of the People ? Or rather, have they not been solely dic tated by the convenience of the ruling faction, abusing the name of the People for its own selfish purposes? Is nomination suppressed in our counties or our boroughs? Do we anywhere see the symp toms of that real representation, which was so boastingly promised to us and so confidently expected? If here and there, as rare exceptions to the general rule, we find the voice of the People pre vail, what is the fruit ? Do we not behold their honest advo cates invariably borne down by the votes and clamour of men who .have gained admission to the Senate by the influence of the factions, or by more questionable means ? The motive and purpose of all legislation is the happiness of the universal people. Let us try the Reform Bill by that test. Let us look around, and examine carefully. What do we find ? Mer chants bankrupt, workmen unemployed and starving ; workhouses crowded, factories deserted ; distress and dissatisfaction everywhere prevalent. Is the welfare of the people more respected now than it was seven years ago? Is the dominion of the factions less appa r,nt ? Do we not still groan under Tory laws, whose object and effect are to enhance the price of food, while they lower the wages of labour? And has not the burden of these anti-social and tyran nous enactments been aggravated rather than diminished by the Whigs ? Fellow Reformers ! were the people fully and fairly represented in Parliament, could such things be ? Not hastily nor inconsiderately, but after much and earnest thought, the Birmingham Political Union comes forward, once more to demand for the people such a full and fair representation. Agreeably to the strictest principles of justice, we demand Uni versal Suffrage as a Rightful Inheritance, which the owners may Consent, from motives of expediency, and for a time, to waive, but which no one else has the smallest title to modify or restrict, much less to deny. ' We demand an absolute protection for the voter in the conscien tious discharge of his duty ; and we confidently believe that the ballot alone offers such a protection. We demand a recurrence to the old and wise rule by which the duration of Parliament was limited to three years. Fellow Reformer:TWilTiniiiiiiiiiirnaiing good these de mands ? Without your general and hearty co-operation our utmost zeal will avail but little; with it the victory is won, even before the battle is joined. Are there any who will dare to stand against our united voices ? _ Yes, Reformers, there is a handful of men who avow that they dare stand against our united voices. J-Icr Majesty's Whig Minis ters have announced that extravagance of intention. Lord John Russell, speaking in their name and by their authority, has declared that he will oppose all extension of the franchise ; that he will op- Pose the Ballot ; that he will oppose Triennial Parliaments. Yet more --he has declared, that if the universal people were to rise and demand these measures, he would not be an instrument in the ands of the people to obtain them. Lord John Russell admits— lettbi receive with becoming gratitude the valuable admission !—he f ( 7,tas that if we are unanimously resolved on having these and his his eleven brethren of the Cabinet, are not strong to withstand us. But they will, at least, mark their disap probation by a division • they will abandon o ffi ce, they will quit Parliament, rather than lend to us even the help of their neutrality ! , Such i s the determination of the man who, in 1834 , so feelingly lamented the grievous wrongs of the dependent voters • who then recognized their claim to protection ; and who now, while he denies that protection, does not deny that recent experience, so far from lessening, has greatly added to the already convincing proofs of its ltec.essity. Behold, then, the terms on which you can alone hope to retain sour Whig rulers. If you are content to abandon all your fixed Principles—to forego your unquestionable rights—if you chose to give up all hope of further political improvement—if you have made ~1 21 , your minds that the Reform Bill shall continue in future, as it has hitherto been, a dead letter, instead of a living spirit—that Coercion shall proceed unchecked, and Bribery and Corruption un - reproved—in that case you may still reckon on the services of Lord John Russell and his fellow Councillors. There is no course left you but the unequivocal and absolute re unquishment of the cause of Reform—of your own cause—and the expulsion from office of men who have declared that the success of Your cause and their political existence are utterly incompatible ? With such an alternative, can common honesty, can common Sense for one moment hesitate in their choice ? Reformers, there are in your ranks a few men more noted for their f ears o f evil, than their aspirations after good, and there are not a few who wear your colours, who are prudent from policy ra ther than wisdom. These men, while they agree with you in by Ministers, would fain neutralize your just indignation I D7 picturing the consequences of their dismissal. They will tell You, that if the Whigs go out, the Tories must go in, and they will ask you, whether in that case your last condition will not be worse than your first ? They' will allow that, so far as England is concerned, even a Tory Ministry could effect but little evil of which I Whig Ministry is not equally capable. But they will deny that the same rule holds good in other parts of the empire. They will tell you to look to Ireland. They will ask what would be the consequence of a return of Tory rule there. Reformers, we do look to Ireland ; we are most earnestly desi rous that full and speedy justice should be meted out to her sons. Are they not our brothers? But we contend, in Ireland as in England, for the establishment of principles, not the dominion of rersons ; for the permanent sway of equal laws, not for the casual Influence of a benevolent governor. The Tories gave to Ireland her Orange Magistrates. The Whigs have been in office for the list seven years, with a power, when exerted in a popular direction, "hove all precedent. What attempts have they made to purify the Irish roll of the peace? What measures have they projected to toake Irish Judges responsible, or Irish Juries impartial and effec tive? They support Lord Mulgrave. Did they not support Lord Anglesey ? If Lord Mulgrave had been as col d- he a r t ed as he is k ind, and as ignorant as he is enlightened, who will say that Whig favou r and Whig protection would not have been extended to him with the same cheerful alacrity? Is there anything in their words or their acts that shows them to be less kindly disposed to wards Sir Francis Head and Lord Gosford, than towards Lord liligrave? And will it, for a moment, be believed , th at the y 1/40 have so eagerly espoused the cause of oppression and tyranny Canada, can be sincere in their admiration of good and just government in Ireland? The present peace of Ireland rests upon a basis which time inevitably must and a thousand accidents may destroy; and are we to be gravely told that, for the sake of conti nuing to Ireland so very precarious a blessing, we are to make w ining sacrifice of all that we deem essential to the well-being of the empire ? But why should Ireland sink in despair in the event °I the Tories returning to power? The union and spirit of her tons sufficed to achieve the conquest of freedom in 1829; are they unequal to its maintenance after seven years enjoyment? Are Irishmen less combined and less courageous now than when the E mancipation Bill was passed? Have the seven years of Whig P r otection, on which so much importance is placed, only issued in d iminishing the love of liberty and weakening the capacity for its indication ? But we deny that a Tory Ministry would be either a natural or cessary consequence of the dissolution of the present Cabinet. b " e hav e no such mean opinion of England and Englishmen as to elieve that, for lack of other choice, our youthful Sovereign must, in dismissin g Lord John Russell, fall back on Sir Robert Peel. e trust that there is ample store of men more worthy by their p r inciples, and more capable by their genius, of guiding the free -n ergies of our dear native land. ...Reformers, let no vain fears disturb you! Our cause is the o 4 se of truth and justice :it must and shall prevail! Meet, there rlr:, and boldly, i n your cities, in your towns, in your village s , aid _your honest voices in defence of your principles. Invoke the I ,? r or your Representatives. Tell them, as the Members of Mr 4,.:flliarn have been told by us that after the declaration of Minis v;i: it is the imperative duty Of every Reformer in the House, as mit of the House, to oppose them by all means and on all e 4 ions where political consistency and personal honour do not forbidb. such an opposition. Agitate ! associate ! Let evert district Union ! By , combination only can we conquer. The Men aa,Pirmingham will either lead or follow. One name and our tilZevements might well entitle us to claim the van ; but we shall s erv 7hllly take our station wherever we can render most efficient c on ,. • So that the fight be fought, and the battle won, we are s.‘e rit P That it may be won speedily and triumphantly depends on the j4 t. ''Ple alone. Let them speak, and it is done ! Before the ma fig 1 of their united will, Whigs and Tories, and all dark and deceit ., th te n inP, will flee away as the shadows disappear before the rising Englandh e r will be merry England once more ; and while in t ot Palaces happ iness and glory are guests, in the humblest of her tao e, comfor t and peace will be abiding inmates. By order and in the name of the Council, P. H. MUNTZ, Chairman, SZA: r 2S. HILL, Sec. soirraingham, ith Dec. 1837. Public Office. To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled, THE humble PETITION of the MAYOR, ALDERMEN, and BURGESSES of the CITY of HEREFORD, in Council assembled, SHEWETH-- That your Petitioners believe it to be a paramount principle of the British Constitution, that where the power of voting is granted, the voter should be placed in the situation of acting agreeably to the convictions of his own mind, unswayed by power, undeterred by threats, and uninfluenced by sinister interests. The 3 further consider it to be the duty of a Government, desirous of promoting in all classes honesty, good morals, and independence, to remove, as much as may be, any temptations to act in contradiction to their own conscientious belief, or to foster practices subversive of the well-being of society. That the extensive practice of intimidation, bribery, and drunkenness, resorted to at the last General Election, has convinced those of your Petitioners who were previously averse to the Ballot, that purity of election can only be obtained in this country by the adoption of some mode of secret voting. That your Petitioners, knowing that the system of secret voting has lon. been used by the higher classes in their elections at their Clubs, Libraries, Infirmaries, and other Institutions, cannot conceive it to be otherwise than in accordance with the feeling of Englishmen. . _ Your petitioners, therefore, believing that if secret voting at Elections for Members of Parliament were adopted, the conscien tious opinion of the Electors would be obtained, persecution for honest and independent voting prevented, bribery destroyed, the flagrant immorality now prevalent at contested elections done away with, and the great constitutional principle of freedom of election secured—most humbly pray that your Honourable House will, without delay, pass an Act, directing that all Votes for the Elec tion of Members of Parliament shall be taken by Ballot. And your petitioners will ever pray. THE BALLOT To the Honourable the House of Commons, in Parliament assembled. THE Humble PETITION of the undersigned FREEMEN, ELECTORS, and others, inhabitants of the City and Borough of Hereford, She weth, _ _ _ . That your'Petitioners have witnessed with sorrow and dis pleasure the corruption and intimidation practised at the late Election for the City and Borough of Hereford, and that similar evils do notoriously prevail in many other constituencies of the United Kingdom. That it is the ancient constitutional right of every Elector to give his vote freely, and that this right is intercepted and prevented by the arts which the system of open voting renders practicable. That your Petitioners conceive the benefits intended to be con ferred on the people by the Reform Act, have not been realised ; and that no surer mode of carrying out these intentions exists than by taking the votes secretly, whereby the intimidation and bribery so extensively practised at the late General Election may be frus trated of its object. Your Petitions therefore earnestly pray your Honourable House to protect electors in the discharge of their duty, by the immediate adoption of the Vote by Ballot. And your Petitions shall ever pray, Scc. (Here follow the signatures.) KENT AND SUSSEX. MR.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY NOTWITHSTANDING the publicity for many past given to the superiority of BETTS'S PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY over every other Spirit, British or Foreign, it is yet but partially known : J. T. BE rTs and Co. therefore will feel it a duty they owe to the Public and themselves, to invite a comparison between the PATENT and the French Brandy, until every Family in the kingdom, in which Brandy is consumed, have made trial of their PATENT BRANDT, —and consequently discontinued the use of the foreign article.— Their respective merits are fairly developed in the following Testi monials, to which they again beg to refer. EXTRACTS FROM TESTIMONIALS. " Your Brandy is free from uncombined acid and astringent matter, which exists, more or less, in most of the Brandies im ported from France. " JOHN THOMAS COOPER, " To Mr. Betts." " Lecturer on Chemistry." " I am bound to say, and do assert it with confidence, that, for purity of spirit, this cannot be surpassed; and that your Patent Brandy is also quite free from those acids which, though minute in quantity, always contaminate the Foreign Spirit. " JOSEPH HUME " J. T. Betts, Esq." " Chemist to his Majesty." " I do not hesitate to express my conviction that your Patent Brandy is fully as free from every thing injurious to health, and contains as pure a spirit, as the best varieties of Foreign Brandy. " EDWARD TURNER, " Professor of Chemistry iu the University of London." _ _ " John T. Betts, Esq." It is this perfect freedom from the above objectionable qualities, and its agreeable similarity in flavour to the finest samples of Cognac Brandy, that constitute the peculiar value of the PATENT BRANDY. To prevent imposition, J. T. BETTS and Co. fell it important to observe that Brandy is the only article they sell, and also to im press upon the Public the fact that their only Establishment is the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield Bars, adjoining the Cattle Market, where the Patent Brandy may be had, either pale or coloured, of the highest legal strength, in quantities not less than two Gallons, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, delivered free of ex pense to any part of the Town, for Cash on delivery. UNDER the PATRONAGE of HER MAJESTY the QUEEN of HANOVER. HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS the DUKE of SUSSEX, HER OR CEthe DUCHESS of RICHMOND, &c. &c. _ • MR. E. SOLOMONS, OPTICIAN to the Royal Eye Infirmary, patentee of the Amber Spectacles, &c., has the honor of announcing his arrival at his new Establishment, No. 3 , , Old Bond street, (nearly opposite the western Exchange,) where his rceently invent-It and highly approved Spectrcles may Fe adapted to the various circumstances of individual cases appertaining to defective vision. Whilst these Spectacles excel all others 3s regards their very super:or refractive property, and their comparative lightness, they possess the (Luther advantage of modifying bright and strong light, which, at the same time is transmitted through the various Inunotus of the eye, so as to reader vision most perfectly distinct, conveying also a sense of cool ness and pleasure to the organ, with the additional equally important re commendation of being FREE from the pernicious attributes of common glasses ; is slort the qualities, of Mr. Solomon's Spectacles admirably adapt them to afrird ease and comfort by protecting and strengthening the eyes, and to extend to vision the most decided and instantaneous relief that art can accomplish. Their superior efficacy is attested by the follow ing eminent professors, who (among many others) have given them their unqualified approbation: Tyrrell, Esq., Surgeon to the Moorflelds Opthalrais Infirmary, Ste. Sir Anthony Carliole, F.R.S., President of the College of Surgeons. John Stevenson, Esq., Oculist to the King of the Belgians, and to his late Majesty, Marfaret-street, Cavendish-square.

" Panel taciturn dolorem eontinebant.7—Liv. As manhood approaches, the human form, counte nance, voice, aid the whole intellectual character, rapidly undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating image after Image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and obstructed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course of wild and injurious indul gence, and the mind becomes painfully harassed by alternations of fear, disgust, and passion. In this state relief is perhaps sought from the inex perienced, perhaps from the ignorant ; in either case at the expense of health, that being only palliated which should have been effectually cured. Here we propose to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease ; and we pledge ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poison, and to restore to its wonted energy every relaxation of the generative economy, whether from this or other causes, whereby the dignity of manhood shall have become impaired ; equally contemning unfeeling empyricism, which with reckless ignorance destroys where it should restore • and, on the other ha nd, that unworthy " principl e " w h ose prou d selfis hness increases the embarrass ment of the afflicted.

THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL being de sirous of securing :the landing of Letters brought to this Country by Private Ships, as soon as possible after their arrival off the Coast, has made arrangements to remunerate the Masters of Pilot and other Vessels who are in the practice of looking out for homeward-bound Ships, for the service of conveying the Letters on shore at the first Port between the Lands-end and Deal with which they can communicate ; and it is hoped, that the Command ers of such ships will avail themselves of these opportunities to en sure an object of so much importance to the mercantile interests. As, however, the law imposes upon them - the responsibility of landing the Letters with safety as well as expedition, they will see the necessity of not entrusting the duty to any persons but those on whose respectability and punctuality they can fully rely. The Commanders, who will by this arrangement be saved the expense of sending their Letteas on shore, will be paid the gratuity of Two-pence each on Letters, and a Penny on 'Newspapers, allowed by Act of Parliament, on. application to this office after they shall have reached their port of destination. 13y Command, W.

THE practice adopted by the Post Office in France, of charging double the rate of Postage to which Letters are liable, as the price for Registering them, will hereafter be substituted in this Country for the present regulation of requi ring Half-a-Crown as a Fee, in addition to the Postage on such Letters, provided the extra Postage to be so charged shall not ex ceed Half-a-Crown, which is still to be the highest sum demanded for the Registry of any Foreign Letter in this Country. For ex ample, a Single Registered Letter from London to Paris will be charged two British and two French rates, making the total sum in the two Countries 3s. 4d., instead of the present charge of ss. ; a double Letter will be liable to 6s. Bd., instead of 7s. 6d. ' • and a treble Letter to 10s. ,being the present amount ; and for Letters above that class the Half-Crown will continue in operation in this Country instead of the system of Double Postage, which would then become the most expensive. As the optional payment does not apply to Registered Letters, the whole amount of Postage chargeable in'England and in France upon such Letters must be paid at the time they are put into the Post in either country. In consequence of this concession with regard to Registered Let ters, the practice of taking charge of Foreign Letters containing Coin, Jewels, Ste., as " Money Letters" will be discontinued, and in future these Letters can only be received under the same regu ations that apply to other Registered Letters. It must be distinctly understood, that the Registry of Letters will not make the Postmaster General responsible for the Loss that may be sustained in consequence of the failure of any Letter with which this precaution may have been adopted.

From many of the highest branches of the no bility to the poorest peasant, they have happily been the means of giving a degree of health and comfort, which in most cases had net been enjoyed for years; they effectually relieve the most acute fit of Gout in a few hours, and seldom fail to enable the patient to resume his usual avoca tions in two or three days, and if taken on the first symytoms, the patien is frequently left in doubt as to the reality of the attack. And there is another most important effect belonging to this Medicine—that it pre vents the disease flying to the brain, stomach, or other vital part.

This fine herbaceous compound far sur passes anything before offered to the world ; and from its salutary eff ects on those who liabitu-lly use it, it may be truly esteemed a national bless. ing. The time has been, when every third man you met in the streets, glared at one through the medium of spectacles, or protected his visual organs by shades of various hues and sh a p es. Veril y the past was a blinking generation ! We ask, is it so now? Every one must empha_ tically answer, "No !" To what can this miraculous change be attri bided but to the immensa consumption of Grimstone's Celebrated Snuff which affords certain relief in every affection of the Eyes. CREDZ PERTO. We can, from experience offer our honest testimony to its super lative merits.-From the News and Sunday Globe-Editor. Don G. Lobe, of the Havannah, Isle of Cuba, received his appointment by Don Pedro Ortiz Zugasti, Consul to the Court of Great Britain, I2th September.-(See Standard.) Don G.

E*sr AND WEST INDIA MAGAZINE. Nothing is so difficult to prove as a preventive; but this we do know that Grimstone's Eye Snuff is an an - tidote against contagion, and a powerful restorative of sight-Editor. MANCRESTRE CHRONICLE. -We should be glad to see this Snuff in ge neral use. It is a safe and powerful restorative.-Editor. Gill MSToNE'S EYE s,NUFF.-The utility of this important prepa ration is becoming daily more apparent, and the fact is, we understand, now established beyond controversy, that during the prevalence of that scourge Cholera, those who used Grimstone's Eye Snuff escaped the ma- Isria. (See Dr. Andrews's Reports.; When frequently used, it is well known to renovate the Nervous System, by its action upon the pituitary membrane, it exercisss a most salutary influente ti• on the optic nerve. As this artisle is entirely made from rititish Herbs, it deserves, even in a mercantile point of view, the consideration of all those who prefer the encouragement of a wholesome and useful article of home manufacture, to the narcotic herb Tobacco. On the whole, the Inventor appears to us obe entitled to the thanks of the country, for the eminent services he has eonferred upon it by this discovery.- Editor of the Sun.-2d March, 1827.

NERVOUS DEBILITY. DR. SOLOMON'S CORDIAL BALM OF GILEAD having been uncommonly succes sful in Nervous, Hypochondriac, and Female Complaints, Lassitude, Weakness, and De bility, stands highly recommended to such as labour under similar com plaints, as the only medicine that can be administered with assured con. fidence of success, its virtues being daily demonstrated in eradicating the worst and most dangerous symptoms of such diseases. Under the denomination of Nervous Disorders, (in its full extent) , are included several diseases of the mo s t d ange rous kind, such as weakness, flatulence, palpitation, watchfulness, ri ors of diffbrent parts , g iddiness, g d r owsiness after eating, timid i ty , flushes of heat and cold, numbn ess pain (especially of the head, back, and lions), hiccup, difficu lt y of respira tion, and deglutition, anxiety, dry cough, &c, for the c ure of which this celebrated Cordial has been resorte d to b y I nva lids of both sexes with the happiest results.

These Drops are the best substitute hitherto discovered for that danger ous mineral, Mercury; they are mild, safe, and effectual, and may be taken with the greatest advantage by both sexes.

" Bath, Nov. 29, 1637. " My Lord—My attention having been attracted to the re port of your Lordship's speech, delivered in the House of Lords on Monday evening last, in which you are stated to have complained of a Right Rev. Prelate, not then in the House, for having, in a charge delivered to the clergy of his diocese, quoted certain expressions which had fallen from your Lordship in a speech on the Irish Tithe Bill, 1835, about ' a heavy blow and great discouragement to Protestantism,' and to have charged that Prelate (among other persons of greater consideration) with having quoted these expressions in correctly," not fairly,' and by implication not honestly,' because he omitted to quote, in conjunction with them, the whole paragraph of Hansard's Debates in which they occur, I feel it my duty to ask your Lordship whether I am the Rev. Prelate to whom your Lordship re ferred, and whether the reference was to the purport which 1 have stated above, from the report of the Times of the 28th inst. ? My reason for thinking it probable that your Lordship intended to refer to me is, that in the course of last year I quoted the expressions of which you speak, in a Charge to the Clergy of my diocese, without accompanying my quotation with tho paragraph at large ; and my motive for making this application to your Lordship is a wish to be enabled, if I have unintentionally misquoted or misrepresented your Lordship's words or sentiments, to repair the injustice as publicly as it was committed. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, " Your Lordship's most obedient servant, " To Viscount Melbourne. " H. EXETER. " P. S. I much regret that an earnest desire to set forward on my journey homewards on Monday evening induced me to leave the House, on finding that Lord Rodeo's motion was not resisted, before your Lordship addressed the House. lam now on my road to Exeter, to which place I request your Lordship to do me the honour of directing your answer." No. 11. " Downing-street, Nov. 30, 1837. " My Lord,—l have this morning had the honour of re ceiving your Lordship's letter, to which I hasten briefly. It certainly was your Lordship to whom I alluded in the debate on Monday night in the House of Lords ; indeed, I stated that I adverted to a charge delivered by a Rev. Prelate to the clergy of the diocese of Exeter, which could, of course, only be understood to designate your Lordship. I did also affirm that no one of the numerous and distinguished individuals who had animadverted upon those expressions which I had employed in moving the Irish Tithe Bill in the year 1835 had read the whole of the paragraph, or had given me the benefit of the modifications and qualifica tions with which I had guarded my propositions. This I said and still say was unfair, but I deny that the charge of unfairness either necessarily does or was intended upon the present occasion to imply a charge of dishonesty. Persons " It is possible that what I said may appear in the report more bitter than it really was in the utterance. This is not unfrequently the case, and vice versa. I did not previously intend to have mentioned this subject, and was only led to do so by Lord Rolen's reproducing in his speech those much cited phrases. All I said was, that when so much stress was laid upon particular expressions, and such various conclusions drawn from them, fairness required that the whole passage in which they were employed should be quoted. I was perfectly aware that your Lordship had left the House, and if I had in tended a charge of the serious nature which you seem to -aon ►ider it, I should not have brought it forward in your Lord. ship's absence. _ A I have the honour to remain, my Lord, " Your Lordship' s faithful and obedient servant, " MELBOURNE.
