WESTMINSTER ELECTION. MORLEY'S HOTEL, CHARING CROSS, July 24, 1837. THE COMMITTEE for conducting the ELECTION of Colonel EVANS and Mr. LEADER, announce to their Brother Electors that the DAY for the NOMI NATION of the CANDIDATES is fixed for To-morrow (TuEs- DAY), and the DAY of ELECTION for WEDNESDAY, the 26th instant. The Committee now congratulate the Electors upon the brilliant prospects of success; the stzte of the Canvass exhibits a determi nation to uphold the renown of Westminster, and prevent Toryism from obtaining a footing in this seat of Freedom, whence it was triumphantly driven thirty years ago. AU Reformers perceive and despise the base slanders by which the Tory party have attempted to injure Colonel Evans ; but this flagitious conduct is now meeting with the reward it richly merits. The Committee earnestly entreat of the Electors not to relax in their endeavours to sink the pretensions of the Tory party for ever in Westminster, by continuing steadily and perseveringly in their la bottrs until the final close of the Poll at FOUR O'CLOCK on WEDNESDAY. By order of the Central Committee, WILLIAM a'BECKETT, Chairman. Snhscriptiom towards defraying the expenses of this Election arc reeeired by the Central Committee. REMEMBER! !

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1837. The citizens of London have by this time struck the first blow in the cause of Reform. They hive acquitted themselves as it became the citizens of the first city of the first country in the world—as men who felt that they were struggling in the right of their countrymen for the greatest of all prizes—the prize of well-established and still expanding liberty. They have displayed in this arduous contest that love of principle, and that indomitable spirit and energy which belong to the charaCter of Englishmen, and which justly entitle them to take the first rank among the friends of freedom, and the sup- porters of our national institutions, endangerc , by the machinations of a faction which has now throws ofd' the ni tsk, awl shown its hideous features in their native deformity. Could gold have bribed, threats intimidated, or favour influenced the Citizens of London, this glorious victory would not have been achieved, for all these means. have been used by a pa erful and desperate party, to an extent perf:ctly unprecedented. Happily they have only had the effect of enhancing the triumph. And now let the electors of the metropolitan boroughs copy the noble example of the City of London. We now call upon them to do their duty to their country, to their selves, and to their posterity with equal zeal and deter mination, unawed by the threats and unseducci by the promises, of the inveterate foes of reform—uninfinenced, in short, by any other consideration than that of obey ing the dictates of their own consciences, at whatever hazard. The spirit of the fiction is broken ; now is the time to crush it. By following up the victory gaired in London and, we are happy to add, in &Kith warh, where the twa Reforonnq Members have been returned by an immense majority—by following up this signal advantage, with a kindred energy, a tone will be given to the provincial elections frot - n the one end of the kingdom to the other, the beneat of which will he incalculable to the good cause. Let them not be de ceived by the specious and artful inducements that may be hell out to them to give a vote for the " Con servatives," as they insidiously and arrogantly style themselves. If ever there was any shadow of doubt upon the mind of a single individual as to the true meaning of their " Conservatism," it is now removed. We have only to cast our eves to Hanover to see it in its true colours. There we see this boasted Con , criatism in the person of no, its un-linslish Chief—the Duke of CUMBERLAND, trampling un- . - du. its ruthless hoof that ConstitutiOn which had been estaNished by WILLIAM the FOURTH, and which guaranteed a portion of liherty to the people. Let no Englishman—above all let no elector —ever forget this most important fact. Let him think of it by day and dream df it by night. It is the beacon which must warn him from making shipwreck of his purl- tical faith, and of the liberties cf his coun try'---for what the Chief of the Tories has done to the Constitution of Hanover, that will t h ey assuredly do to th Reform Bill the very first mommt they have the power. Forward then, electors, for war-d, and stick for your QUEEN, for the Constitu tion, and for Reform ! The whole of the Pal; journals of Friday and Saturday have been received. They contain no do mestic news of the least interest. In most of the papers the conduct of the Government in searching the' domiciles of MM. WALSH, GENANDE, and BEvi(ER, in tlic absence of thcse g entlemen, and in ftrizi sizing their papers, with an intention of making them the ground-work of ulterior legal proceedings, is cen urerl in very strong language. Before condemning the Government for an act of implied self-preservation, we mint know the nature of the information which it received, and the tendency of the correspondence found on Count WAI.SICS person when seizzd et Strasburg. Oa Saturday evening the following news from the theatre of war in Spain was communicated by tele graph to the French Government NARBONNE, July 21. " General OrPa, having hiq hca i quarters at Ceinte, came to Valencia th 14th. A corohlt took place on the 15th, at nine in the tivirning, at the V:nta Poyo, between Oraa's ranguarl and ti Cn! arlist rearguard. The insurgents con tinurd their march on the defiles of Las Cabrillas. :rhe fi:zlit lasted till evening. A number of wounded had readied Va lencia." Valencia is no longer in any danger of falling into the hands of the Carlists ; and with a little more ac tivity on the part of the Christinos than they have re cently shown, it woul:l be an easy task to rid the pro vince of the rebel hordes. Doti CARLOS will avoid fighting as long as he can ; his present object being rather to plunder than permanently to subdue the provinces on the further side of the Ono. The Queen of the BELGIANS left Paris on Thursday eve ning for thussels, and on Saturday morning her MA JESTI was followed by King LEoPoLD, who was to join his loyal Consort before her arrival at the capital, that their entrance might be made together. The Cholera continues to rage with increased via . lence in several cities of Naples. At Palermo its ravages produced a popular tumult, which was only appeased by the disposition of the Governor and the appoint meat of a Committee to manage the affairs of the city. Messina showed symptoms of 'an insurrectionary spirit not less dangerous ; and in both cities it was resolved by the populace to appropriate the trxes to defray the expenses of the Cholera hospitals or Laza rettos. The Government had ordered the troops from the capital to the assistance of the authorities. ( From the Papers.) . MADRID, JrI.T 15, AT NIGIIT.—An extraordinary courier from General Oraa has arrived. From what has transpired, it seems that the expedition of Don Carlos has made a move ment in advance. The main body is at Nueles, and the sur rounding villages. Calrese and all his bands are still in tight of Valencia. If, as it is believed, the Carlists arc afraid that considerable forces are marching against them, this may have made them determieed to retire, leaving Valencia to cross the high road and descend towards the kingdom of Murcia, in order to avoid the shock. If these conjectures prove correct, it Would not be surprising that Don Carlos, pursued by the army, should go from Murcia to Andalusia, and recommence the long marches of Gomez. The plan of the faction is not yet disclosed, and there are only probable inferences from the state of things. Time will show whether we guessed right. PARTS, JULY 22.—We have received this morning news from Madrid of the 15th, which informs us that M. Armanda ritz is Minister of the Interior, and not Mr. Acuna, as the telegraphic despatch states. Acuna is appointed Minister of the Marine, or of Justice ; it was not known to which of these offices he is nominated. FRENcit FUNDS.—Paats, JULY 21. Eve per Centt.., ION: 93e 110 f.

The capital was tranquil, the QUEEN in good health, and the Cortes sanguine on the subject of a speedy triumph over the rebels in Valencia. Senor PITA PIZARRO had been removed from the Home Department, and Senor ACUNA, Deputy for Jaen, had succeeded him as Minister of the Interior. All parties regarded the Valencian expedition of the Pretender as the act of a madman. The Cabinet appeared stronger than at any time since its appointment. We state, on the best aothority, that Mr. Sergeant ADAMS will be sure to be defeated at Stroud. At a late hour on Saturday night, the returns at Lord JOIIN RussELL's Committee-room showed a certain majority of 380 votes. The followin ! z paragraph, to which the attention of the electors of Westminster is especially directed, is co pied from the leading columns of the Chronicle, of this morning : We understand that the King of Hanover has sub. scribed larvly towards the election expenses of Sir George Murray. This is right royal munificent." A rumour to this effect reached us last week, but we took no notice of it at the time, as we liked not the channel throu g h which it was conveyed. We have since heard it repeated, in quarters not , liable to suspi cion, with the important addition, that the "right Royal munificence" of the King of HANOVER has not been con fined to the Tory Candidate for Westminster. His MA- J ESTY'S royal solicitude for the triumph of Toryism it England has ex'ended beyond the narrow boundaries o Palace-yard, and actually flows in a golden stream to the remotest extremity of the United Kingdom. This intelligence will not surprise the electors, though we trust it will have the effect of making them look sharply about them. CUMBERLAND was ever the enemy of Liberal institutions—the implacable foe of everything like a pure representative system—and Hanover bears woeful testimony to the influence which a Crown has had in imparthig activity to a mind fruitful only in projects for corrupting and enslaving mankind. We, however, know nothing of the temper of the Electors of Great Britain and Ireland, if his MAJESTY'S gold do not fail as signally here, as his proclamation against the Constitution is likely to do before the lapse of many months in Hanover. King ERNEST AUGUSTUS will prefit as.little from this display of his Royal zeal as a corruptionist, as frmn his performance of his more favourite character of Hanoverian despot. Before the expiration of a year be will find himself beaten at 4111 points—his tyrannical projects made the laughing stock of Europe—and his proud neck bowed to the ob servance of that Constitution, which he as blindly as despotically supposes he can abolish with a flourish of his pen and a twirl of his mustachios. However, the electors arc bound in duty to look carefully about who could place himself at the them. The Prince , head o f an illegal combination of one hundred thou sand men, bound together by secret oaths—who could tacitly sanction a project, entertained by these traitors for corruptina the army and setting aside the order of succession , in order to ascend the Throne of these realms—wh o •could commence his reign in Hanover by the abrogation of a Constitution ., granted by his predecessor, and recormized as inviolable by all Europe—who could so far violate his duty, both as . a foreign Sovereign and a British Peer, as Ito stoop to the corruption of the electors of West : minster—the Prince, we repeat, who could do and has done these things has partizans—Tory tools through out the country, upon whose proceedings in behoves e.

CITY: TWELVE O'CLOCK. The City is all in a bustle. At the Royal Exchange, Stock Exchange, and at the various Coffee-houses nothing is talked of but the City election, which is now going on with the greatest spirit, and all other news is viewed as of minor importance. Consols, which left off on Saturday at 911 for Account and Money, opened at 911- -I, with scarce a bargain doing ; Ex chequer Bills, 47 49 prem. ; India .Bunds, 47 49 prom ; Bank Stock, 2091 2104 ; India Stock, 257 258.

It is now anticipated that Mr. Palmer will be elected for the City. No business is doing in either of the Markets.

We know from the best authority, one of the sup porters of Sir George Murray in Westminster, that several of the electors who had promised to give him plumpers, or not vote at all, have adopted the latter alternative since the news arrived of the despotic act of the King of Hanover. This " favourite son" of George 111. has the singular felicity of being less detested now by his enemies than by some o f his old friends, alter the wanton act of destruction which the Duke of Cumberland (for he is well-known by that name) has committed in his own kingdom. The juvenile Tories, who became Conservatives from a dread of Radicalism, begin to think that the old breed of Tories, with such A man at their head, would turn out to be the real Destructives. RoYAr, AMATEURS.—Her Majesty, besides being a good performer on the pianofOrte, sings remarkably well ; her voice is a mezzo soprano of very sweet quality. The • Duchess of Kent is a good musician, and plays the pianoferto scientifically. ;Most of the•sons and daughters of George 111. were accomplished musicians. His late Majesty King eore,ess IV, was an excellent performer on the violoncello, and be possessed a very fine bass voice. The Duke of Cambridge plays the violin in a very superior manner, and the Princess Augusta has composed many pretty vocal pieces. Queen Adelaide is an excellent judge of music, and is remarkably find of sacred compositions, particularly full choruses. Dur ing the festival in IVestmiester Abbey she was frequently moved " even to tears" when the sublime choruses of Handel were Verformed."—Musical Wort!. A friend of Sir George Murray's anti one of his fellow-officers in the Peninsular campaign, ilea sent a letter to a morning paper, stating, that he is so disgusted with the un fair and slanderous attempt.; made to disparage the character of General Evans, that he intends to give a plumper for Evans at the WestrninAer election, instead of supporting Sir George, as he intended. The Commissioners of Woods and Forests hare given directions for the pulling down of the mansion in the stable-yard called Harrington House. It has been recently occupied by the Hon. Win. Ashly, Treasurer and Srcretary to her Majesty, the Queen Dowager. Numerous workmen are still employed at Hatfield House in the great gothic rooms of state, restoring the massive carvings to their pristine beauty. The wing destroyed by the fire is now rebuilt, and great gaiety and hospitality will pre vail in the mansion after the elections. _ _ Extract of a letter from Lieutenant Thos. I\l'Don nell, R.N., agent for Lloyd's at New Zealand, dated Sep toraber 30 :—" My letters of the 4th and 31st of December, 1833, will have acquainted you of my recovering the brigan tine Industry from her crew, who had murdered their comman der on their passage from Van Diemen's Land to this port, with the steps adopted by me to secure the murierers (nil° have since sunred the extreme penalty of the law), and to place the vessel and cargo under the Van Diemen's Land Go vernment." A general election causes generally an increase of 100,000/. to the Pest-office revenues, and also a very great increase of the post-horse duty and mileage toll. The prin ters, also, come in for a large addition to their usual business, in printing pia , ards, addresses, aid cards soliciting votes. We should also think that the surgeons benefit by the number of heads and limbs broken during election affrays. GERNfAN COOKEItY.—I do not know whether the cookery of a place has anything to do with the character of the people, or if the plain, solid fare we have met with since we came here, be any index to the disposition., of the good people of Dresden. 'The growing simplicity of food since we came into Germany is very remarkable. At Brussels, the nondescript condiments that were submitted to our discussion would have puzzled any naturalist to discover from what order of animals they were compounded; nothing can be more sim ple an school-boyish than the four good, honest, substantial, • wholesome dishes that are in circulation at the primitive hour of one. After the soup the invariable boiled beef revolves round the table., attended by its two " satellites,"—a bowl of ( m f e s t e sort stewed d o f plums 'smoking brow n grav y, an d a di s h o f potatoes, or sliced pump kin.• N e xt comes fish, or fowls :—then the pudding,--and la oo meat.or pears , w i ts . ti n d e never-failin g i g il l t e e . c c oims ourpa nismt some Stadt Wien dinner—no dish can say to us, as Selim did to his bride of Abydos— " I am not, love, what I appear." _ _ for there is a most praisc•,vortby absence . of disguise in all.--A Summer in Germany. -Our Assizes will commence on Wednesday next.

THE QUEEN'S DESPATCH TO LORD MULGRAVE. [From the Dublin Evening Post of Saturday.] Just before going to Press, we procured a copy of the fol lowing important Despatch. Our readers may rely upon its accuracy. We have not time to add one word: Whitehall, July IS, 1837. MY LORD—In confiding again to your Excellency -the im portant charge of administering the affairs of Ireland in her Majesty's name, the Queen has commanded me to express to your Excellency her Majesty's entire approbation of your past conduct, and her desire that you should continue to be guided by tho same principles in which you have hitherto acted. The Queen willingly recognises in her Irish subjects a spirit of loyalty and devotion towards her person and Go vernment. Her Majesty is desirous to see them in the full enjoyment of that civil and political equality to which, by recent Sta tutes, they are fully entitled ; and her Majesty is persuaded that when invidious distinctions are altogether obliterated, her Throne will be still more secure, and her people more truly united. The Queen has seen with satisfaction the tranquillity which has lately prevailed in Ireland, and has learned with pleasure thtt the general habits of the people arc in a state of pro gressive improvement, arising from their confidence in the just administration of the powers of Government. I ern commanded to express to you her Majesty's cordial wishes for the continued success of your Administration, and your Excellency may be assured that your efforts will meet with firm support from her Majesty. The Queen further desires that you will assuro her Irish subjects of her impartial protection. I have, &c., (Sgned) J. RUSSELL. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, &c., &c., &c. A short time ago, as a knight of the hammer was selling furniture in a bedroom, in Little Dean, whilst he was in the act of saying, " Going, going," &c., the floor gave way, and the auctioneer, clerks, and audience, descended into a lower apartment, to the no small amazement of the for mer and a portion of the latter, who were not much hurt. The auctioneer, peeping out of the ruins, said, " I told you it was going." " Yes," replied a bystander, "you have told the truth for once, zur, purely accidental, I suppose though." . - - —Gloucestershire Chronicle. Lovit.—The editor of the Methuen Gazette makes the following sweeping assertion :—What, a man, and never in love I Pshaw ! Such a man must have a heart of ice, a soul as lifeless as a corn cob, the gizzard of a goose, arid a head as sappy as a cocoa nut." An officer on a field day happened to be thrown from his horse, and as he lay sprawling on the ground, said to a friond who ran to his assistance—" I thought," said he, " I had improved in my riding, but I find I have fallen off." MININIUM OF \VIT.—A gentleman being asked by a friend, " what it was o'clock ?" replied, " Little or no thing." " How so ?" askad the inquirer. " Why," said the wit, "it is not quite on e, and that It hich is less than one must be little or nothing." COLLECTOR'S RETURN.—" A very small bill, Sir, just " My dear Sir, entirely out of my power; do me the favour to call to-morrow, and I'll tell you when to call again." SHARP REToRT.—Sir William B being at a parish meeting, made proposals, which an influential farmer objected to, and so effectually, that they were not carried. Highly enraged—" Sir," says he to the farmer, " sou may be a judge of a plough, but you know nothing of the subjects in which you interfered. I think I ought to be well informed upon them, I have been at both the Universities, and at two Colleges in each." " Well, Sir , " rep lied the farmer. " and what of that? I had a calf that sucked two cows, and the ob servation I made was, that the more he sucked the greater calf lie grew." The Duke of Wellington, as lord-lieutenant of Hants, is expected to review the South Hampshire Yeomanry, at toney-cross, the first week in August. The Duke of Richmond has invited a party to Gordon Castle, where the game is most abundant, for the purpose of grouse shooting, which commences on the 12th August. His Grace and family will leave Goodwood for 1 : Scotland immediately after the races, which will commence ' the week after next. The Marquis of Sligo has arrived at Brussels, where his lordship will proced to Wisbaden, for the benefit of the celebrated baths. The Earl and Countess of \Vinchilsca, who have been on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Errol, at their residence at Brighton, have left town for their seat, Haver holm Priory, Lincolnshire. His Lordship's only son, Vis count Maidstone, is a candidate for the representation of N or thamptonshire, in opposition to Lord Milton. The Earl of Aberdeen has left Argyll House for Haddo Castle, his scat in Aberdeenshire. The grand fete to be .isiven in September , in honour of his eldest son , L o r d Haddo , co ming of age, will be on a scale of great splendour. GERMAN DINNERS.—I expected to see the Ger mans cat an immoderate quantity, but observed this was not the case. At the first glance they might appear to do so, for they helped themselves to every thing that went round, and their plates were changed every two minutes. But these h e lps " were ridiculously small, such as half a chicken's leg, a single slice of tongue, &c. Indeed, the host of the Alice Seal seemed resolved that his guests should not transgress in t hi s w ay, and, on the strength of his hotel being the acknow ledged most fashionable dining.place, at Schwalbach, often took the liberty of providing very scantily. lie seemed to have adopted as his motto the German proverb, " Alle gate dinge sind drei" (" all good things are three"), for he seldom ex ceeded that number of the same article on each dish ; three fairy cutlets,—three slices of ham that looked as if they had been carved for Queen Mab, and so on.—A Summer in Germany. ILFRACONIBE.—This beautiful and romantic water• log place is full of company i n conseque n c e of the salubrity of i it s air. It s visited by gentlemen of the Faculty, whose pro- fessional engagenymts will allow them a few days relaxation. Among the number we may mention at present there—Dr. Roget of London, Dr. Fox of Bristol, Dr. Black of Taunton, Dr. Down:of Southampton, Dr. Hawkins, and Dr. Bumpas of Bristol. The New Hotel and Cold Baths, with the improved sea bathing, give general satisf ac ti on , a nd h av e been the means o f causing a great influx of visitors. The Legislative Assembly of the free city of Frank fort decreed on the Bth inst. that when a private sold . ie r . had b e en placed in the degraded class, in which alone be is !lable to the infliction of corporal punishment, he may, on 019 s imple order of a Captain, have ten lashes administered to him ; on the order of a Major, fifteen ; and on the order of a su p erior officer, twenty.

The lowest wretch in St. Giles's, who knows not in the morning. in what abode of misery he may'seek shelter on the succeeding night, would still shrink from the idea of being accessary to an attempt to bring his own father to shame. However low the estimation in which we hold the Marquis of Blandford, we cannof. think so meanly of him as that he would be guilty of such revolting conduct towards his parent. We have reason to hclive that the letters are verbatim correct. That the Times should publish them can surprise no one ; but that the Tories should imagine that any cause could derive advantage from such a publication, only shows how low that party is sunk. The Marquis of Blandford, like some other men, has reason to ex claim, Savc me from my friends I We have strong. ground for believing that an improper use has been made by a pretended friend of the confidence reposed in him by the Noble Marquis. The subject matter of • the correspondence first appeared in the Times some . days ago. The Marquis of Blandford stated that "he knew nothing of that article till he had seen it in a copy of the Times sent to him from a provincial town by a friend, and that he had only communicated his brother's letter to two individuals, of whom the one could only have received the information (in Cumberland) on the day it appeared in the Times, and the other was Timothy Curtis, Esq. (Governor of the Bank of England), who sent him the paper, alleging at the same time that he had bad no hand in its publication." We wish that we could believe that Timothy Curtis, Esq., who is the Marquis of Blandford's bosom friend and adviser, did not furnish another justification of the French pro verb, Qui s'excuse s accuse, and has not, in the cause of that friend, been accessary to an act which is truly disgraceful to all concerned in it. It is for Timothy Curtis, Esq., to show that his confidence has also • been betrayed by some unscrupulous individual of the party, a stranger to the feelings which have hitherto been deemed sacred amongst men. For, after all, the publication is only painful to individuals. We are yet to learn in what way Ministers can possibly be af fected by a strictly private communication from one brother to another without the knowledge of a single Government man ? That Lord John Churchill should be anxious to fall on means to relieve the poverty of his own father, and believing, as he naturally would, that his application would hardly be less successful were the Parliamentary influence of his family exerted in favour of the Government, he should seek to induce the Marquis of Blandford to enter into his views, can surprise no one. It does not, however, follow, because Lord John Churchill conceived that the means in question would facilitate the object he had in view, that there fore Ministers would, as a consideration for the sup port given to them in Woodstock, allow an addi tional pension to the Duke of Marlborough. Nothing can be, therefore, more gratuitous than.the accusation which has been brought against Ministers on account of an overture not sanctioned in the least by them or any. one man in the employment of Government. And with respect to the Marquis of Blanford, .who holds such indignant language at the bare idea of his po litical virtue being tampered with, after having refused to wear the livery of Lord Grey, the Noble Marquis was never. offered the livery either of Lord Grey or of Lord Melbourne. He did, indeed, apply to Sir Robert Peel to be allowed to wear his livery, though it would appear that the Right Honourable Baronet was not over and above eager to act upon the overture. It is to be borne in mind that the Mar quis of Blandford, though now a Tory, was also at one time an ultra-Radical Reformer, a member of the Birmingham Political Union, and that he brought into Parliament a celebrated but foolish Reform Bill, which old Major Cartwright would almost have hesitated to sanction. Like'" Old Glory" and some .other cracked characters, he is now, from pride and spleen, an ultra- Tory of the first water. But, however this may be, we : must again protest against the baseness of dragging before the public - a strictly private - correspondence. Be the parties who . they may that have lent themselves to this, their conduct cannot be too much reprobated. We have indicated sufficiently the parties on whom suspicion for the present must rest. It will be for them, if they can, to show that the suspicion ought not to attach to thcm.-1116rning chronicle. THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH, THE MAR QUIS OF BLANDFORD, AND LORD JOHN CHURCHILL. (From the Times of yesterday.) The third affair* alluded to by us was by far more edifying and pungent than either of the others. It. was the direct offer from a confidant and employe, a hanger-on of an "il lustrious" Whig-affecting and popularity -hunting prince, a direct assurance, we say, of a su mmons to the House of Peers, addressed to his own brother, the son and heir to a pauper Duke—if that brother would consent to return him (the channel of the proposition) for a well-known fa mily borough ; and if he would further give his support (he being a Conservative) t o the so-called" Queen's but really O'Connell's Government. A collateral bribe was.tendered by the sauce immaculate go-between to the father of them both, viz., the afore-said Duke himself—in the shape of a threat moreover, that if his Grace did not perform his part of the proposed bargain, and if he should bring in for the family borough a Conservative who would o p pose Lord Melbourne's Government, he, the Duke,might go whistle ' for a much-desired increase to the nett proceeds of a pen sion, earned by the achievements of a noble ancestor. Very well, was this case contradicted ? No. Was there ever anything on the lice of it more monstrous ? No. Was it not painly implied throughout that the party tend ing the iniquitous bargain had been authorised by Lord Melbourne's Government to guarantee the terms of that bargain ? Yes, most indisputably. Then we shall be asked, " Who were the parties ?" We answer, let their own letters speak for themselves. We are permitted and desired to publish those letters. The dramatis personw arc, as will be seen—first, Lord John Churchill, Private Secretary, or something tantamount, end well-known fire- Wont, to that illustrious and patriotic Whig, the Duke of Sussex ; my Lord John himself, moreover, being notori ously a mon-or-all-work in the general service of the Whigs. It is this Lord John who opens the business to his brother, having already opened it to his father. " Make me Mem ber for Woodstock, brother Blandford, and, on the further condition of your supporting the O'Connell Ministers, you shall stand a good chance of being summoned to the House . of Peers." So "do you, father Marlborough, help to bring me in for Woodstock, and you shall have your pen sion job adjusted, otherwise you may whistle for it." And what were the replies•to this political Pandarns ? Why, his brother, Lord Blandford, like a man of honour and spirit, bids him go about his business—" I refused Lord Grey's livery, much loss will I wear Lord Melbourne's." The answer of the ducal pensioner was of a different stamp. It was indeed characteristic. We here s ubjoin the letters and extracts. Let the people of England, now on the eve of this all-important election, consider' well the spirit of Such a correspondence, and the parties to it, especially the official parties who remain behind the curtain. Let the people of England well consider who it is, and for what base purposes, that raise the cry of " Vote for Queen Vic toria" "Don't dare to vote a g ainst Queen Victoria" — " Don't dare to o pp ose her wishes." Good God ! does Queen Victoria wish to see the freedom of election thus trampled on ? Does Queen Victoria wish to see the glo rious peerage of her empire sullied ? Does Queen Victoria sanction this atrocious jobbing, plundering, desolating cor ruption? and in her own name too ? Alas! poor innocent, helpless maid, into what a nest of scorpions, into what a den,of traitors, have you fallen. I,—FROM LORD JOHN CHURCHILL TO LORD ELANDFORD. tt Brookes's Club, June 26, 1837.

A JOLLY EDITOR.—The editor of the Eilbote, a paper published at Munich, offers to receive subscriptions for his periodical at the rate of " six gallons of beer per annum-" SCUILLER.—Perhaps of all the names that add lustre to Weimar, the most interesting is that of Schiller. Goethe's mental powers were s7ldom employed for the improvement of his fellow-men—his pets, generally speaking, was an unhitl lowed one. But with Schiller it was far otherwise, though he did not altogether escape animadversion on that point. There is one of his minor poems in particular, which was strongly censured, and gave rise to many severe attacks from his enemies and rivals of the day. -T.hey asserted, that in it Schiller had spoken against Christianity, And indulged in re flections injurious to the cause of religion. When Schiller was informed of the construction put upon his words, he con tented himself with simply and meekly replying, " They mis understand me."—A Summer in Germany. A TEA EQUIPAGE AT BRUSSELS.--The tea spoons are narrow and pointed, shaped exactly like the sharp ivory things that arc sent down on a voyage of dis covery into vial-bottles of rhubard or ipecacuanha, to bring up their contents. A sugar-tongs is a very rare luxury, as is also a salt spoon ; the point of a knife is the substitute for the latter, and if you wish for auger, there is no alter native besides the very ancient and handy implements which poor Dr. Johnson got into such a scrape for making use of. But the urn is the crowning piece of the breakfast furniture. Poor thing lit must hare been in the hotel when it was at tacked during the revolution, for the top seems to have been shot off by a cannon ball. The handles have evidently suf fered from a paralytic stroke ; one hangs doggedly down by the side, stiff and immoveable, whilst the other limb remains sticking straight up in the air, fixed so firmly in its horizontal position that neither " force nor cunning" can cause it to stir an atom one way or another. The spout has undergone some strange convulsion, by which it is wrenched all on one side, and the water flows in such an oblique, crab-like direction, that it requires some experience to make your calculation so as to place the cup where the stream will reach it.—A Summer in Germany. SCHOOL AT SCHWA LB ACH.-When the children had returned to their occupation, we went into the achow house. The first room we came to was that of the girls, who were all learning astronomy I A strange preparation, thought I, for the after-life of a Nassau female. Who would think that the walking masses, half grass, half woman, one meets every day in the fields and lanes, would be able to tell whether the earth moved round the sun, or the sun round the earth, or if the moon were any bigger than their own reaping hooks. We asked the master to allow us to hear them sing. Great was the delight of the little madchens when this request was made known ; there was a universal brightening of faces and shuffling of d leaves ; the pedagogue took down an old violin from a peg where it hung, and accompanied their sweet voices in a pretty simple air, which they sung in parts and from the notes.--A Summer in Germany. THE BARBER AT THE HALBE MONDE.—There is a barber at Halbe Monde, who might have been a rival to the " barber of Seville," of musical and immortal memory. He is a universal genius, a perfect factotum. Waiter, valet-de place, friscur, cicerone—he is every thing by turns as the case demands; and having had the honour of shaving Goethe twice, (an honour of which he is not a little proud), is now a literary character, and talks of Schiller, Wieland, Herder, as familiar acquaintances, quoting from their works, and criticising them most learnedly. Of his very intimate friend Goethe, he tells never-ending, anecdotes, and describes him as one of the most li ve ly persons whose chins ever came under his hands.--A Summer in Germany. On Sunday morning, shortly before twelve o'clock, an accident happened to a party in a boat which had just been hired of a boatman named Tomlinson, at Hungerford. The amateurs, who consisted of six persons (two men and four boys), who knew very little about the management of a boat - , and less of the currents and tides, were pulling up the river against the ebb, and on reaching Westminster-bridge, after getting through an arch, the tide carried their boat against the pile and broke it in pieces. Before assistance could reach the party two of them were drowned. The others were saved and carried ashore, bemoaning the fate of their friends, and lamenting their own imprudence in going upon the river with out a waterman. The unfortunate sufferers were not found at a late hour last night. As Mr. Ellice, accompanied by ten or a dozen of his friends, was passing along White Friars'-lane last night, about ten o'clock, on his way to Mr. Gilbert's, at the Crown, two ruffians were standing under the workhouse wall, one of whoie drew a clasp knife, and struck at Mr. Ellice ; the blow was received by Mr. W. Marston, which cut through his coat and nounded his hand ; a person was taken into custody, and e have no doubt that the case will be made out.
