Charter was found on the 13th on the person of Dr. SUXO, which included the names of the Marquis of SALDANIIA, RODRIGO DA FOUESCA MAGALHA, MOIISINIIO DA SILVIERA, FERREIRA BORGES, and the Archbishop of LACEDEMONIA, who all con trived to make their escape. This is a deplorable state of things. The men who now disturb the tranquillity of Portugal perilled their lives to deliver their country from the yoke of usurpation and absolutism. It -is impossible to witness their p resen t con duct without suspecting that their strongest motives, when opposing Don MIGUEL, were drawn from the lust of promoting their own selfish interests, not from a patriotic regard to the welfare and happiness of Portugal. Madrid Papers to the 19th inst. have reached us this morning. Their contents are satisfactory. It was not expected that the Finance Committee or the Cortes would object to the levying of the extraordinary war contribution recommended by MENDIZABAL during the sitting of the 16,h. All fears engendered by a report of a conspiracy in the Capital had disappeared, and after an investigation of the e‘arges preferred against the persons seized on suspicion of participating in a Carlist plot, most of them were set at liberty. The following is the official report of Ort AA's victory of the 15th, from the Madrid Gazelle of the 18th inst. : " TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OF WAR. The expeditionary army of the rebels, and that of Cabrera, under the orders of the Pretender, forming toge ther 20 battalions and 12 squadrons or cavalry, have been completely beaten, in the neighbourhood of this town, by the 9,000 infantry and 600 cavalry I was able to collect last evening ; for, as I have already informed your Excellency, I was firmly determined on giving battle to the enemy, wherever I met him, and without considering the inferiority of my force. The battle lasted from eight o'clock in the morning until five in the afternoon, and the victory was not an instant doubtful for me the moment I beheld the advan tage obtained by a squadron of the 6th Regiment of Light Cavalry, who made a most brilliant charge. The troops I have the honour to command have given the world a noble proof of their courage and perseverance, in driving the enemy out of the advantageous positions he held, forcing his lines, which were more and more formidable as we ad vanced, and marching and fighting during IS hours, exposed to a burning heat and to unimaginable sufferings, without a drop of water to quench their thirst. " Being occupied in pursuing the enemy and securing provisions for the soldiers, I cannot exactly calculate the probable consequences of this rout, but I may neverthe less affirm that all the projects of the enemy are now now baffled or destroyed. The loss of the rebels in this affair cannot be under 1,000 men, including 200 prisoners, besides a certain number of deserters. Our troops have suffered a loss of about 400 men, among whom are several generals and officers of distinguished merit. The conduct of our generals, chiefs, officers, and soldiers, is beyond all praise, and deserving the national gratitude and approbation of the Queen. Consequently, and in virtue of the powers vested in me by her Majesty, I recompensed on the field of battle those who most' distinguished themselves. The Ad jutant-General of the Staff, Don Luis Garcia, the bearer of this dispatch, will communicate to your Excellency the particulars which want of time does not allow me to insert in this dispatch, which I pray you to place under the eyes of the Queen Regent. _ "' MARCELINA ORAA. "' Head-quarters of Bunol, July 15.'" The Paris Papers of Wednesday have all been re ceived. On that day the Government voas in posses sion of the following important news from Spain : " BAYONNE, JULY 25.—The passage of the Ebro by Jariateguy is confirmed, but he was followed by General Escalera with a superior force." " BAYONNE, JULY 25.—The Carlist General Jariate guy crossed the Ebro on the 20th, between Haro and Mi randa, without meeting with any opposition, with nine bat talions and four squadrons of horse. General Escalera left Pampeluna on the 21st, marching towards the same point. of s " i kccordi ng to a report rece i ved f rom t h e G overnment • ra g°ssa, Don Carlos ha s m a de a counter-march on he righ t flank, t reachini , Sarrion on the 19th, from whence arc ne d to Cantavieja on the 20th. His intention is beli eve d to bo t in cons e quence, al ong o repass the Ebro. Orders have been given, the course of the river." So then Don CARLOS proposes to postpone his march upon Madrid for another season. This is not the way to encourage his friends in the Peninsula or elsewhere. He ought by all means to enter the capital in triumph, and send the Cortes to the Ba learic Isles for the term of their natural lives, for pre suming to obstruct his entry into the seat of Govern ment. His partizans have dearly earned the rewards and honours which he boasts having in store for them, and it is high time for him to reward their faithful services. His own sojourn, too, has been long enough on the left bank of the Ebro. The inhabitants of the south ern provinces may grow jealous of the longer residence of his sylvan Majesty in the Basques, for—as he is a great stickler for precedents—we cannot suppose that he really intends transferring the seat of Government to Estella. 'We remember, too, that before he crossed the Ebro he was at the trouble to inform Europe that his subjects in New Castile had implored him to come among them ; and that his Royal mission had for its object their deliverance from the Christino yoke. Where fore is this gracious promise not fulfilled ? Why does be now seek to turn his back upon New Castile with out an attempt to burst a fetter imposed by a constitu tional Administ ra ti on ? I s th e atmosphere of the health m ounta i ns so necessar y t o hi s MAJESTY'S ne alth that he cannot live from among them ? But '"hat excuse will he make to the Basque population— stpology to the Treasurer of the Holy Alliance, wh o ▪ Supplied him so liberally with funds to defray his ▪ cuin g expenses—for returning to his old haunts with lout a laurel more than GOMEZ would have ga thered in half the time, and at half the expense, in men and money ? These are ticklish questions at the present moment ; and snore particularly as the / : 4(I REN's Generals in s i s t on d e t a i n i ng him where he 35 , and in fact compelling him to visit the capital nolens volens. The Cortes, it appears, are willing to abide his coming, and even the REGENT is undaunted at the expectation of an interview with his roving MAJESTY. Seriously speaking, Don CARLOS has committed nothing but blunders since he crossed the Ebro. The fault—if fault errors can be called which con tribute to the triumph of a just and Liberal cause --are attributable to the ignorance and presumption Of his advisers, who deluded him with the expecta tion that the towns would everywhere declare in his favour without reducing him to the necessity of strik ing a blow. He therefore foolishly fancied that he had nothing to do but go through the prescribed eti quette of the Kings of Spain, in honouring the re spective cities of the Province through which they travelled with a Royal visit. The farce of a Court Was established at San Mateo, and exhibitions as much resembling levees as the performances of Punch and Judy do the vocalism of PASTA, were allowed to abso r b the time that might have been devoted to a well-timed and successful attack on Valencia, or more rationally in forcing a march upon Madrid. There is very little domestic new s of any interest in the French Papers. The King and Royal Family will visit Paris during the celebration of the three glorious daYs• The Minister of Commerce has recommended to the KING the withdrawal of commercial privileges granted to Sicilian and Neapolitan vessels entering the Ports of France, on the ground that Naples has re fused to extend reciprocal advantages to French Ship- Pi"g, and in every way caused annoyance and delay to the Government steamers in the Levant. His ma jesty h as approved of the recommendation of the M inister, and h enceforth there is to be a reciprocity of restrictions and annoyances between France and ;Naples. The following 'Tile Gazett e au extracts are from the Papers : tile Art and Midi has letters from Palermo, dated (he ier a sth, which speak of the dreadful . ravages . of the that City, of the consternation of the inhabitants and I sPeciallY of the want of French physicians, for the physicians of the country betook themselves to flight, in :tead of relieving the sick. The Lieutenant-General Schudes, General Veal, the Praetor, and all the authorities, manifest the most laudable zeal ; but their united efforts are unavailing against the in tensity of the disorder, which, after having carried off nume rous victims among the lower classes, has spread to the higher classes. Among the dead are several officers of the garrison, nay Princes and Princesses, and several merchants, amo ng whom are a Mr. Gardner, the American Consul- General. These letters say nothing of the rising of the popu lace against the Viceroy, wait:► the Augsburg Gazelle speaks of. However, reports of an attempt of the persons in prison to make their escape, and those of the populace to pillage the rich citizens and bankers, which attempts, as the letters say, had been defeated by the local authorities, afford good grounds for sending troops from the capital, for there was every moment reason to fear that these disorders might be repeated.—Le Commerce.

The Deputation appointed by the Presbyterian Mi nisters, residing in and about the Cities of London and Westminster, went to Bushy this day, and on their arrival were introduced to Lord HowE, her MAJESTY'S Chamberlain, with whom they arranged the mode of presentation. After waiting a short time in the drawing-room, they were conducted to another parlour, where the QUEEN) with her attend ants, were in waiting to receive them. Her MA JESTY was attended by Lady CLINTON and Miss GORE, her Ladies in Waiting ; Lord HowE, her Chamberlain ; Lord DENBIGH, the Master of the Horse ; Mr. WOOD, her Chaplain ; and Captain CURZON, one of the Lords in Waiting. After the Address was read to her, she read her Answer in a firm tone, but with some emotion. The Deputation afterwards kissed hands. The Deputation having retired from her presence were again conducted to the drawing-room, and, after a short delay, were summoned to the dining-room, where the Household were assembled to luncheon. The Deputation sat down with the persons already named, and partook of a very elegant entertainment— and were treated with very marked respect and cour tesy, and departed highly gratified with their recep tion. It was very evident that the Address gave her MAJESTY high gratification. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, JULY 27.—Wind S. W. —No arrivals. PLYMOUTH. JULY 27.—Wind variable.—No arrivals.

The arrivals from Lisbon received this morning, of the 19th July, are important. We have seen a private letter stating that a counter-revolution had been attempted in the Province of Minho in favour of Don Pedro's Constitution, but 1,200 troops left Oporto and defeated the 300 revolu tionists. When the accounts left great agitation still prevailed. We have received Launceston Papers to the 3d March. The following are extracts : . . " Sir John Franklin returned to Hobart Town on the 17th, from his tour of the Colony, having been received throughout with demonstrations of respect and attachment. Addresses were presented to him on his return." Our arrivals this morning are not numerous ; but that by the steamer from Lisbon is the most important. It brings accounts of a counter revolution in the North of Por tugal in favour of Don Pedro's charter, which has caused some consternation at Lisbon ; but when the accounts left, the extent was not known.

The Nomination of the Candidates for the Eastern Division of Surrey took place this day, and from an early hour in the morning all the different roads leading into Croydon for se veral miles were in a state of unusual excitement and bustle. The procession of the Liberal candidates, the Honour al)le Locke King and Mr. Angerstein were marshal. led at Broad-green, about a mile from the town, and that for the Conservative candidates, Captain Alsager and Mr. Kemble, at Streatham Church. The procession of the Reform Candidates was the first in order of arrival. It was preceded by a large body of electors bearing blue and v%hite flags, and a full military band playing . " See the Conquering Hero comes." The lion. Locke King, accompanied by his proposer, was in the first carriage and four, which was pro fusely decorated with Reform colours, blue and white. The lion. Gentleman was followed by a long line of private car riages, containing the Members of his Committee. Mr. Anaer stein following in an open barouche and four, similarly capari soned and attended. The candidates were loudly cheered by an immense concourse of people assembled in front of the Crown Inn. In some of tho carriages which followed the procession, we observed Mr. Tennyson D'Eyncourt and his Hon. Colleague, Mr. Hawes, the newly elected Members for Lambeth, Mr. Leader, the new •Member for Westminster, and several other gentlemen of distinction. The procession was closed by a large body of electors on horseback, bearing banners with appropriate inscriptions, among which were— " King, the friend of the Queen," " King an I Reform," Angerstein, the friend of the People," " Angerstein and Independence," &c. The procession of the Conservative candidates took another route, and entered Croydon by the lower road. Like the other, the procession was headed. by a military band, playing " Britons, strike home." The line of private and other car riaffes, by which the hon. candidates were accompanied, ex tended upwards of a mile ; the horses, riders, &c., being profusely decorated by the Hanoverian colours, " Orange and purple." lust as the processions reached the town, a heavy shower of rain came on, which continued without interruption till nearly twelve o'clock, and in some degree damped the ardour of the opposing parties. At efe'ven o'clock the Under-Sheriffs, Smallpiece and Ab , bot, opened the Court in the Town-hall, where the Precept and the Bribery Act were read, and the meeting was ad journed to the open air. The parties then moved off to the hustings, which were erected in a large field opposite Laing's Tavern, the George the Fourth. At half-past lithe Sheriffs, having arrived and taken their places in the centre waggon, the large area in front of the circle of waggons was speedily filled by the friends of the several candidates. There were six waggons ranged in a semicircle on each side of that occupied by the Sheriffs—those in the right being filled by the Conservative party—those on the left by friends of the Reform Candidates. The UNDER-SHERIFF said, in the:absence of the High Sheriff it was his duty to preside upon the present occasion, and he would entreat the patience and forbearance of all, because if the one party expected their friends to be heard they must hear the friends of the other.—( Cheers.) It would be his earnest endeavour to keep order, and execute his duty fearlessly and impartially towards all.—(Loud Cheers.) He would not de tain them longer, but proceed at once to the business of the day, which was the nomination of the several candidates. Proclamation having been made in the usual manner, W. NOTTAGE, Esq., of Wandsworth, rose to propose Capt. Alsager, a gentleman who, since he entered into Parliamentary life, had faithfully discharged his duties, and diligently attended in his place, andwhose vote was to be found recorded in every divi sion. The present was a crisis when men should be most par ticularly cautious whom they should send to Parliament as their representatives, a period when the measures proposed by Ministers had a direct tendency to advance the interests of popery. There was one circumstance recalled by the present election which they all must lament, namely the death of our late beloved Monarch. That Monarch well knew the Consti tution of the country, and was fully determined to preserve it. He was a Monarch full of compassion and clemency and his memory would live long in the hearts of his sub jects.—( Cheers.) They were at the same time happy in the advent of a young and gracious Queen, who, if her own disposition were allowed to work, would maintain the consti tutional rights of the people; but, unfortunately, she was sur rounded by persons too ready to give way to agitation, and who would give up to theory what had for so long a period worked so well in practice. The opposite party said that their cause was the cause of the Queen, but he would tell them the Queen's cause was his, and the cause of the friends by whom he was surrounded. He would conclude by recommending the freeholders to return representatives who knew the Constitu tion of the country, and would do their utmost to retain its ad vantages. It was therefore that he felt proud in proposing Capt. Alsager.—( Cheers. ) WILLIAM PAYNTER, Esq., of Richmond, rose to second the nomination with most unfeigned pleasure. It was, he knew, the wish of Captain Alsager, as it was also his own wish, that the electors of East Surrey in making their choice should se lect the best—one who knew his duty, and who would per form it honestly, faithfully, and independently—( Cheers) — not professing, but men who had power to judge and honestly to act upon their fair conviction.—( Hear, hear.) Captain Alsager was one who, whilst in Parliament, had fully performed his duty to his constituency, to the country, and to the Con stitution. He would ask not his political—(Cheers)—sups porters, but his political opponents, whether such was not the fact.—( Hear, hear.) Had there ever been a man more as. siduous or straight-forward ? When elected had he not for gotten all political feelings and differences ? And was there one who ever consulted him, and not find that he was ever ready to advance individual as well as general interest ? Who was before him in defence of the Constitution —the Protestant Constitution of the country—( Cheers)—and protecting it from the trickery and treachery of faction ?—( Hear, hear.) H e knew that arbitrary power given to one Assembly was as dan gerous and formidable a s if veste d i n an i n di v i dual, and would equally endanger the beauty of our Constitution, which de pended upon the checks which kept it in such admirable equi poise. He was an. ad voca t e o f t h e r i g h ts of conscience,but he was at the same time anxious to support unfettered the pre rogative of the Queen. Captain Alsager was the friend of Reform ; but then there were two sides —one , eas of the mock sort, and expended itself in talk, and was never satisfied but when changing or altering the Constitution —the other was of the practical kind, which made less noise, but sure progr ess . Now Captain Alsager's Reforms w er e p ract i ca l , not theoreti_ . cal.—( Hear. ) The sham Reformers were a l ways coming forward with spick and span new Constitution s , to the amount at least of one hundred and fifty. Let them settle amongst themselves which was the best, and then the practical Reformers would meet them on the question. The plans for altering and amending the Constitution of England were as numerous as the plans for Rail.roads.—(Laught er . ) [Censi derable confusion was caused by an individual in the crowd here holding up a cat-o'nine-tails, and asking Captain Alsager if he did not think he did not deserve that ? Ultimately the individual was removed amidst much confusion I After order had in some measure beets restored, Mr. Paynter proceeded. The electors had each of them great interest at stake, many of them had large properties, and many of them had wives and families.—( Cries of " Yes, and we are not separated.") What did the electors expect from the friends of anarchy an d confusion ?—( Cheers.) If they returned Captain Alsage r to Parliament, he would do all in his power to preserve the Bri tish Constitution in all its purity. The Hon. Gentleman con. eluded by seconding the nomination of Captain Alsager.— (Cheers from the Conservative party.) Mr. PALMER then came forward, amidst much cheering, to propose the lion. Locke King. He regretted the Noble Lord to his left (Lord William Russell) had . chosen to second rather than nominate the Hon. Gentleman. He was sure that the nomination of the Hon. Gentleman would be dear to every one present, connected, as he had all his life been, with the county. He (Mr. Palmer), in common with every friend of his country, regretted that Major Beauclerk had retired from the representation.—( Great cheering.) To that Gallant Gentleman he was bound to pay this testimony, that a more upright, honest, and just politician never entered the walls of the House of Commons.—( Great cheering.) Mr. King, if he had the honour of being elected the representa tive of this division of the county, would carry into effect the principles which had been professed by Major 130auclerk. lie would not now enter into the principles professed by Mr. King, because that Gentleman would explain them to the Meeting.— ( Cheers.) The gentleman who had seconded the nomination of Captain Alsager had aske I whether Captain Alsager had conducted himself to the satisfaction of the electors.—( Cheers, and cries of " No, he has not !") Now that question had given him a challenge on his side to ask whether Captain Al sager had not come forward as the proposed friend of the farmer, he would leave the electors to answer whether he had been so or not.—( Confusion, and cries of " No, he has not.") It had been said that Captain Alsager had done all in his power to support the rights of the people, and give equal jus tice.—(Great uproar.) Why, did he not vote against the Municipal Bill foe Ireland, and also that for England?— (Cheers, and much disapprobation.) Mr. Locke King was for equal rights and equal justice—he would protect the inte rests of the farmer—he would not profess one thing and do another. The Hon. Gentleman, after pa) ing a high compli ment to Mr. Locke King, and stating that he was descended from the immortal Locke, concluded by proposing Ithn as a fit representative for the Eastern Division of the county of Surrey. Lord W. RUSSELL then rose to second the nomination, and was loudly cheered for some time. We are sorry that from our position, and the low tone of voice in which he spoke, that we were unable to hear a single sentence of the speech which was loudly cheered by those in his neighbourhood. MILES STRINGER, Esq., then rose to propose Mr. Kemble. He said he regretted that he was unable to answer the speech of the Noble Lord ; but he and Iris friends were totally ignorant of what had fallen from him. The duty he had to perform was a pleasing one, though Mr. Kemble was probably not much known to many of them. However, his character was well known to many, and he ( Mr. Stringer) knew him so well, that he had no hesitation in recommending him as a fit:audlproper person to represent the electors of East Surrey. Mr. Kemble was an untried man, but he was speak ing to Englishmen, and he knew that the electors would give him a fair trial, coming so strongly recommended to them as he did.—(Loud cheering.) Mr. Kemble came forward upon the purest public principles, and if they elected him as their representative, he would be found to be a firm friend to the agricultural interest. He was a friend, and a warm one, to our glorious Constitution both in Church and State. — (Groans.) At the same time he was per ectly ready to redress —to renovate any parts of the Constitution which might be con sidered as worn out. He, however, was most anxious to hand down to his children that Constitution which made England the happy country she now was, the glory of the world, and the envy of surrounding P 4 tiquq.---(Pl!cers.) Ije ayes per fectly satisfied with onstitntiOtt as it at pregent stood, 131 DAY. J ULY 28, 1837. nd could see no advantage in the ballot or in universal suf frage, nor was he in love with annual parliaments.—( A laugh. ) No man was more attached t o th e p erson o f h er gracious 'Ma jesty, or more devotedly loyal than Mr. Kemble, who regarded her as the representative of a long line of ancestors.—( Cheers.) He wished to see that gracious lady exercis'ng her own free. will and her prerogatives without any dictation or interference from other parties. He feared very much that such was not the case at present—(Groans and cheering)—and that her youth and inexperience were taken advantage of by other psr ties, to the detriment of the State. Mr. Kemble had a con scientious feeling that every person should enjoy the free ex ercise of his religious opinions. Ile was determined to sup port the Established Church in all its inviolability, and as it was at present connected with the State—he was anxious to see its benefits generally diffused, and that its integrity should not be in the slightest degree impaired.—( Applause.) He should be always ready to advocate the interests of those among his constituents who might feel themselves aggrieved, and to promote the interests of all classes of the community. By electing Mr. Kemble they would confer an honour upon him and do a credit to themselves, as enlightened and intelli. gent men. He concluded by propcsing Mr. Kemble as a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament. D. R. WARINGTON, of Waddon, Esq., then came forward to second the nomination of Mr. Kemble, but the uproar, hooting, and hissing, of the blue party, was so loud and conti nuous, that he was unable to proceed with his address. The Under Sheriff interfered, and requested they would give him a hearing. He came forward as a Conservative because he felt that in the present crisis in which the country was placed—( Hear)—the interests of that party could not be too fully supported, for the general interests of society at large. It was unnecessary for him to repeat what had been so eloquently stated by the gentleman who had pre ceded him with respect to Mr. Kemble's pretensions. Ile be lieved that no man would more ably discharge his duty as their Representative ; and so long as he (Mr. W.) had a vote and a. voice in that county, he should never shrink from stating his opinions fearlessly.—( Cheers and uproar.) No man who had heard Mr. Kemble's address in their Town-hall lately, could hesitate to say that, unless Mr. Kemble was a hypocrite, he had put forward the most sound constitutional principles. He had great pleasure its seconding the nomination.—( Cheers. ) WNI. LEVESON GOWER, Esq., of Titsey, came forward to propose Mr. Angerstein, but from the low tone in which the Hon. Gentleman spoke, and the great confusion and uproar that prevailed, it was impossible to hear hardly a word that he uttered. We understood, him, however, to say that he came forward to propose Mr. Angerstein, on the grounds that he had always been— and always would be the supporter of liberal measures (Cheering) and those which were calculated for the welfare of the people.— ( Cheers.) He was anxious that those who represented the county should be connected with the landed interest.—( Great confusion.) Mr. Angerstein's votes were well known in Par liament. He had supported Parliamentary Reform ; he had opposed slavery ; and supported every principle that was cal culated to work justice to the people. Mr. Angerstein's rotes were before the country, and they were the best guarantee f,,r his future conduct.—(Cheers, and great uproar.) On Loth public and private grounds it gave him the greatest satisfac tion to propose Mr. Angerstein as a fit representative for the county in Parliament. The lion. Gentleman concluded amidst great uproar and confusion. Mr. TENNYSON D'EYNCOURT rose to second the nomination of Mr. Angerstein. Although he had the high honour of being an elector of the county, and the still higher honour of beitv, for th e thi r d t i me t h e representat i ve o f the b orough of Lambeth, he should have felt great diffidence in presenting himself to the electors, were it not for the cause and the indi vidual he stood forward to advocate. He had known Mr. An gerstein for about thirty years, and a more honourable straight forward, or free-hearted man did not exist.—(Cheering.) Mr. Angerstein was one of the last men to delude the people 'by false promises. His votes had been watched, by a consti tuency not far removed from the county. His votes had been watched by the enlightened constituency of Greenwich, for which borough doubtless he would have been returned again, had he asked the suffrages of the electors. Mr. Angerstein was the friend of civil and religious liberty, and had always given his vote in favour of the rights and liberties of the people. Had he not pursued that course, he would never have stood there to solicit their suffrages. His object was like that of all honest Reformers—the obtainment of good government, and economy. —( Cheers and uproar.) His interests were bound up in those of the landholder, for he was the proprietor of a large estate in the county of Lincoln, where he was revered by a numerous tenantry.—( Cheers.) His votes had always been on the right side, and if, as he anticipated, they sent him again into Parliament, he was convinced he would pursue the same course. He wished to put some questions to the Hon. Gen tleman who opposed them on that occasion. —(Loud uproar: ) They called themselves the friends of the Queen---(Laughter) —but the true friends of her Majesty were also the friends of the people.—( Cheers.) The Tories said they were now in favour of Reform, but for what measure of Reform had Cap tain Alsager ever voted ?—( Uproar, and cries of " No Po pery.") We had now a most gracious Queen, and he trusted the electors for East Surrey would send men to support that Ministry in whom she confided. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") There were some points on which he differed with his Hon. Friend, but that was not a time for dilTering--they must all concede something, for union and harmony were in dispensable.—( Cheers.) With much pleasure he seconded the nomination of Mr. Angerstein.—(Cheers.) The SHERIFF then enquired if any elector had any other candidate to propose, and was answered in the negative. Captain ALSAGEK then came forward, and was received with the most deafening cheers by the Orange party, which was answered by groans and hisses from their opponents. He said lie was born in the Eastern division of the County, and in that he hoped to die.--(Great uproar.) He stood there ready to answer for every part of his political conduct since he had been their representative. It had been said by the Hon. Gentleman who had first addressed them, that he had pledged himself to a repeal of the malt-tax. He had done no such thing, and he never would.—( Cheers.) How could he do so with justice ? How could he, with a surplus of 250,0001., vote for taking off five millions of t axes ? H e h a d b een a l ways a warm friend " to the agricultural interests, and had held up his hand against taking off the paltry tax on newspapers, rather than giving the boon to the agricultural inte rests. They should remember that he advocated mixed inte rests, the commercial and the agricultural, and he should take care not to do injury to one while endeavouring to do justice to the other.—(Great cheering and uproar.) Some emblems had been held up to him relative to his vote on the abolition of flogging in the army, but let him see the necessity of flogging done away with, and then he would vote for taking away the power. Woe betide their armies and navies if they took away that pow e r p rema t ure l y . H e h ad been taunted with not "doing justice to Ireland, but he begged first to ask what was justice to Ireland ? Did it mean to put Irishmen on a footing with Englishmen ? If so, he (Captain Alsager) was ready to do that justice to Ireland.—( Hear, hear.) lie would be glad to know what the poor Irishman thought of Municipal Corporations, when they asked for bread ? Would they not naturally ask, was Municipal Corporations something to eat ?—(Cheers and laughter.) But when they were told that Municipal Corporations was nothing but a Mayor with a fine cloak, and half a dozen Councillors, they would be sadly disappointed. They would further find that these men were useless, so far the watching, lighting, paving, or improving of the towns was concerned ; but when they would be informed that they would occasion annual elections, to keep the towns in a state of political excitement and agi tation, poor Paddy would exclaim, " Then I vote for Corporations, for I am fond of a row."—( Laughter, great cheering, hooting, and immense groaning.) Ile was one of those who trembled for the fate of his country, when he saw the power exercised by O'Connell in the House of Commons, calling upon Ministers to do this and demanding that in a tone of dictation. He admitted that the Irish Mu nicipal Corporations were badly conducted in general, but he was not one of those who would vote for taking away power from the Irish Protestants, and placing it in the hands of the Roman Catholics —(Cheer; and hisses.) He stood there ready to defend his political conduct in every vote he had given ; he now professed the same principles as he did at the last election, and if he had in any way deviated from them let any man stand forward and tax him with that conduct, and ho should be ready to defend himself.—(Cheers.) Ho had never, since he had the honour of a seat in the House of Commons, neglected the interests of the county while advocating his own principles.— (Cheers, and great up roar.) He did not want to detain them with a long speech. He would advocate, should he have tile honour of being re turned, the principles he had set out with, boldly and fear lessly—( Great confusion)—and do all in his power to further the best interests of the country. The Honourable Gentle man concluded amid great confusion and uproar. The Lion. LOCKE KING came forward to address the elec tors amid cheering and great confusion, which prevented him from being heard for several minutes. He stated that he was not only a resident and native of the county, but his ances tors had lived in it for ages past.--( Great cheering.) They had b een t h e friends of civil and religious libertywhen the mention of it sent a man to the Tower.—(Great cheering.) He was happy to see himself opposed by such straight forward men.—( Loud and continued cheers.) The conduct of Mr. Kemble was most straight-forward—there was no dis guise in him.—(Cheers.) 'While, however, be admired the men who opposed him, he hated their principles.--(Great cheering.) What were those principles? Why those that were advocated by the detested King of Hanover, the head of the Orange Lodges.—(Tremendous cheers.) He had always desired to extinguish Reform and uphold abuses.—( Cheers. ) Look what Toryism was when it got out of the free air of England.—( G rea t c h eer i ng .) O n l y j ust l oo k over t h e water, and they w ou ld t h ere see a w h o l e nat i on of H anover i ans iii slavery.—(G reat c h eers. ) H e wou l d say w i t h t h e greatest respect to th ose w h o were hi s opponents , t h at t h ose were t h e esbtyhetyhepir party.—(Cheers.) professed—(Cheers)—and dhtlyrosNevatnhtaetdwteorehea,ne tertai d the Reform Bill repealed.—( Cheers, and cries of " 'They shan't have it.") The people of England had been slaves, but they had not hugged their chain.—( Hear, and cheers.) Unless the electors in every part of the country were deter mined to fight the good fight, he was afraid a chain was forging for them which would not easily be broken.—. (Cheers.) Look at what the Tories were in the best of times —look at the national debt.—(Great cheering.) Look at the Pension List—(Cheers)—vice had there been rewarded in. stead of virtue.—(Great cheering.) Look at the war with America, where he rejoiced that Englishmen had got a good t h r ashing--(Great cheering.) Look at the French war ; what had that done, why it put a Bourbon on the Throne,which more liberal principles had removed.—( Cheers ) yet,Th eTnodriewsnuhladdnpeuvetra be tax on they had placed a tax on c an dl es, t h ey had put a tax on light, hat they had not tax the air they breathed.— '4 remenduus Ghcering.)

Pe wished to see the working clergy better paid. He thought tl e interests of religion would he better attended to if the Bi shops were removed from the House of Lords. —( Loud cheer ing.) Their presence there, in his opinion, impaired religion. --( Cheers.) A gentleman opposite had said that he (Mr. King) was in favour of the bsllot. One word upon that ; he hated the ballot, but the conduct ofthosc ..vho opposed him and his Hun. friend had rendered it necessary.—( Great cheers.) He would advocate Triennial Parliaments, because education had so extended as to render it, in his opinion, necessar) that re presentatives should oftener appear before their constituents. —( Cheers.) He wished to see the welfare of the great body of the people promoted.—( Cheers.) That was the first ob ject of ail legislatio n : but the Tories wsre only anxious for the selfish welfare of the few, without caring for the interests of the many.—( Loud an d l ong continued - cheering. ) He should always say that the people wile the source of lesiti mate power—(Cheers) —and he was for extending the etai age along with, and as an attendant upon, eduettion.—((;Mers.) With these observations he begged most respectfully to with. draw,—( Loud cheering.) Mr. KENIELit then presented himself, and said that he stood there as a candidate for their suffrages, in consequence of a call which had been made upon him by a large body of the constituency. The call was made upon him upon public prin ciple, and he could not refuse. Considering the result of the last election, many were of opinion that there wad so much Conservative spirit in the county as would return two Gentlemen who spoke the same sentiments.—( Cries of " No, no, we don't want any of your breed.") He was never more astonished than to see the address of Major Beauclerk, in which he called upon the electors of - E tat Surrey to return the Re formers, as he called the gentlemen opposite, in order to pre vent the county from becoming a rotten borough. Such it appeared was the wish'of the Gentlemen opposite.—( Uproar. ) His principles were before the constituency, and he would never endeavour to catch even one single vote by blinking a single question which might be put to him.—(Cheers.) From the successful canvass which he had just completed, he had no doubt of his return being safe.—( Laughter.) He thought so because his own friends wore of that opinion, and also because he saw the other party obliged to come forward in is new shape —they used to stand as Reformers, but now they were forced to assume some sort of clap-trap, and they endeavoured to frighten the electors with the name of the King of Hanover. Groaning.) In liberality he would yield to no ows—there was no one then present who detested (despotism more than he did, whether in an individual or in a tyrant raajoritt of the House of Commons. Much had been said of the magnitude of the debt, but look at our vast resources. He was a firm opponent of unjust wars, and detested them as much as any one ; but he fully believed that had it not been for the lavish expenditure complained of, he should not then have been addressing them as freemen and independent Englishmen ; had it not been for that expenditure we should now have been a province of France.—( Cheers, and laughler.) He was a firm friend to agriculture, but he thought the great interests of the nation were so interwoven that no advantage could be given to one class without hurting another. He Caine forward as. the determined friend of economy.--(Laughter.) If they returned him to Parliament he would oppose a job, whether it emanated from Whig or Tory ; if he was returned he would do all in his power to uphold the rights and privileges of the people's House ; but, at the same time, he would not trench even • one iota upon the rights and privileges of the House of Lords.—( Hear, hear.) He would sup port the present form of Government, for he believed it was that most conducive to the happiness of all. After the Reform Bill had beeir passed, the great cry was for the whole Bill and nothing but the Bill. But now the same party were calling for changes of a grave character in that same Bill.— ( Uproar.) Show him an abuse, and he would be as ready as any one to rectify it, but he would oppose all meddling changes. With respect to the Established Church, he would support it as much as in his power, but at the same time he would call upon any Dissenter present to come forward and say where he had ever denied him the most full liberty, both civil and religious. He did not expect that he would ever have lived to hear the Conservative party accused of disloy alty. When William the Fourth, William the Reformer, as he was called, changed his Ministry, what was the cry of the opposite party ? Was it " support the Ministers in whom the King confided?" No ; but they gave them every opposition in their power.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") He trusted ho was as loyal to the Queen as any other man— but he believed there never was a more unconstitutional pro ceeding than that adopted by the other party, of introducing the name of the Queen. —( Ironical cheers from the Reformers.) The abolition of slavery had been alluded to and he was its friend, but he did not attribute its abolition to the present Government—it had been accomplished by the voice of the people, which was irresistible.—( Cheers.) Meet ings had, however, been lately held throughout the country, where it had been stated that that measure which had cost the country 20 millions of money, had left the slaves in a worse condition than they had previously been in. He felt sanguine as to the result of the present election, but if he was mistaken in his calculations he should bow with submission to the deci sion of the county at large.—( Cheers. ) Mr. ANGERSTEIN then came forward and was loudly and vehemently cheered. lie stood before them as a Constitu tional Reformer, unconnected by property with the county, but having a claim upon them by his votes in the House of Commons and his public conduct.—( Cheers.) Much had been said relative to the conduct of the Government in Ire land ; and he was happy to say that he had supported them in all the measures they had brought forward for that purpose. He believed the welfare of the country would be best promoted by the extending to that country equal rights and equal laws.—(Great applause.) He was an advocate for the Reform of the House of Lords, arid that was the only way in which a real Reform could be effected. Allu sion had been made to a Sovereighn who had lately left these shores—the Duke of Cumberland.—(Great groaning and hissing.) They all knew the estimation in which he was held by the Reformers--(A laugh)—and they all knew how he was idolized by the Tories.—( Groans.) If their young Queen died to-morrow he would be their sovereign.—( Vehe ment cries of " No, no, never.") He could not unconnect the conduct of that Sovereign in Hanover with the predo minant feeling of all Tories in England.—( Hear.) He be lieved the great mass of that body partook of the Duke of Cumberland's sentiments:—( Cheers for the Reformers.) While he was in England . he had been their Orange chief. and great uproar from the Tory party.) With regard to the Poor-law Amendment Bill, he Tories had taken a most un fair advantage—why, the chiefs of that party had vested for and upheld the measure, and had then basely availed them selves of the outcry against it to inkfre the Queen's Govern ment.—(Tremendous cheering.) Monday next was the day of election, and he trusted that the constituency of East Surrey would look their landlords in the face on that occasion, and that they would' not shrink from the frowns of the aristo cracy of Camberwell.—(Great hooting and uproar.) He could state as a fact, that the tradesmen of that district had asserted that they were afraid to exercise their privileges as electors. He trusted that on the day of election these men would break the pledge that had been so improperly ex torted from them, and that they would discharge their duty as Englishmen and as honest and independent freemen. ( Great applause.) If they did not do so, he would tell the electors of Surrey that they were degraded for ever. They were not,it was true, protected by the Ballot; thatwas a question with him, whether even the ballot would afford them protec tion. He hoped that the constituency would come forward and vote for either Tory or Reformer, according to the dic tates of their consciences, and without being influenced or intimidated by any man.--( Cheering from both parties.) But if men were basely intimidated, if they suffered themselves to be acted upon unfairly by any unworthy influence, then he would say they were unworthy of the trust that had been re posed in them.—(Cheers.) These were his sentiments, and he would now retire, trusting that every man would do that duty which the country imposed upon him.—( Great applause. ) Mr. JAMES MILLS, an elector, begged to put a question to each of the four candidates on a very important subject. The time was conic when their Representatives should have clear and definite instructions upon it.--(Great uproar from the Tory party.) He begged to ask them whether some controul should not be given to the parishes over their funds, so as to enable them to alkviate the distresses of the poor ? And whether they would not vote fur some improvements in the Poor-law Amendment Bill, and to place the power in the hands of the parishes of England, instead of the hands of three men residing at Somerset House?—(Hear, and cheers.) Captain ALSAGER believed the measure, as a whole, was a good measure, and would be happy to have that part re modelled which did not work for the benefit of the people. Mr. ANGERSTEIN believed the Queen's present Government were anxious to amend every imperfection in that measure.— (Great confusion, and cries of " We want your own opinion.") Mr. MILLs wanted a direct answer. The Committee ap pointed by the Government last Session did not fairly repre sent the sense of the House of Commons. Mr. ANCERSTEIN defended the Committee. He was in favour of the power being vested in the hands of the Commis sioners —(Groans, hisses, and cheering) —as being likely to be less abused than if it were placed in the hands of parochial bodies. —( Hear, hear.) Mr. KEmaut, if returned to Parliament, would go there unfettered by any pledge except such as his public principles gave them. Under the old Poor-law there were great and flagrant abuses, but the piesent required much amendment. He was opposed to the principle of denying out-door relief— legislation was at present, he feared, too rapid, and in his opt the amended Bill ought to have a fair trial. Mr. LOCKE KING agreed with the gallant Captain ( Alsager) that an amendment of the present Bill was much required, and he should vote for it. He thought, however, it ought to have a fair trial. Mr. LEADER then came forward to address the electors, amid tremendous uproar, and cries of " Off, off," from the Tory side of the hustings.) He was only anxious to put a question, and it was utterly impossible further to put him down. He had been in Parliament with Capt. Alsager, and therefore he should not ask hint the question, as he knew from his votes what the answer would be—( Cheers)— but he wished to ask Mr. Kemble, as he had stated that if returned to Parliament, he should always be found the decided and unflinching advocate of economy and retrenchment, and as at the commencement of a new reign the House of Civil Li st? what 1. .. e would Commons would have to settle the do about the Penfion List ? Mr. KENIBIA—The lion. Member for Westminster must be aware that I haw! stated that I shall go into Parliament un fetter, or not at all —(Cheers.) Igo there as the Repre sentative of the people. With respect to the questions which have been put by the Honourable Member, all I can say whateker the faith a the county is pledged to I will support, and whaiever it is pot, I will not.--(Cheers.) When ever. there is a tai: opportunity of inquiring into pensions, li shall be as anxious to do it as the Hon. Member for West rninster. —( Cheers. ) Mr. tat.tolAt said be could not but complimeut those that S Ti I•F' 4.l 3 0 J r.Jr ~+/ ;J opposed him for the candid course they laarl (Cheers.) He had not attempted to extract a pled Mr. Kemble; all that he wanted was to know whlt opinion was, and he has given me it. Mr. KEMBLE—Perhaps you think I have not answered it fairly. _ - - - Mr. LEADER—I think you have arses !red it as Fairly as ail, Tory could.—( Cheers.) Mr. Kitsma—Now, perhaps you will answer me a rpm, tion : " Will you abolish pensions to which tha faith of the country . is pledged ? _ Mr..l..aiDEß-1 deny that the faith of the country is pledged to any pensions.—(Cheers.) The SIIEFiar then called for a show t 4 bands, whieh having been taken, he said the question was one of so much difficulty, and as it was a mere matter of form, be wished that some one would demand, k poll in order to avoid the necessity of his making a docion. Tho Tories insisted upon his decision. He then caned for another thew of hands, which having been had, h e sa id if t h ey compelled him to deride, ho must say that, in his opinion, the show of hands was in favour of Capt. Alsegor and Mrs liemble, which decision was reeelved most vooiferouoy. A poll was demanded by Mr. Palmer, on behalf of the ke. form Candidates, which will take place on Monday and Tues. (lay next. The respective partleS then formed processions, and rimed off in good order, COURT CIRCULA,It. The Queen and the Duchess of Kent went yesterday to Bushy Park, to visit the Cituv:.'n Dowager. Her Majesty was attended by the Countess of Charlemont and Colonel Cavendish. The Royal party left the new Palace in two carriages and four, with - outriders.

The Honourable Colonel Cavendish, principal Equerry in Waiting, fpllowed in another open barouche, with four horses. Her Majesty, we are happy to say, looked exceedingly well, and appeared in high spirits. Through the two Parks and along the road, the Queen was much cheered by the persons passing along,. which demonstrations of at tachment her Majesty acknowledged with condescension. Shortly before five o'clock, her Majesty and her attend ants left Bushy on their return to town. Information of her Majesty's visit having flown like wildfire through the neighbouring villages, the road in many places through Twickenham and Isleworth was lined by respectable persons, anxious to testify their loyalty and attachment to her Royal person. At New Brentford, a white flag of extraordinary magnitude, was hoisted from the windows of the Castle Inn, from the corners of which were pendant large rosettes of crimson and blue ribands.

ADDRESS to the QUEEN DOWAGER. The following address from the body of Ministers of the Presbyterian Denomination residing in and about the cities of London and Westminster, was presented to her Majesty the Queen Dowager at Bushy on Sa turday last by a Deputation appointed for that purpose. TO THE QUEEN DOWAGER'S EXCELLENT MAJESTY. MAT IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY, We, the Protestant Dissenting Ministers of the Presby terian denomination, in and about the cities of London an' Westminster, beg leave to approach your Majesty's pre sence, in order to express our sincere condolence• with your Majesty on the irreparable bereavement wllich you have sustained, by the decease of his late lamented .Ma jesty, our revered and beloved Sovereign. In common with all his late Majesty's subjects we deeply lament the loss of a King, whose reign has procured for him the title of a Just and Beneficent Ruler, the Father of his, People. While all classes and denominations unite in the expres sion of solemn respect and lively gratitude towards the me mory of his late excellent Majesty, we, as a body of Pro testant Dissenters, feel called upon to put in our claim for peculiar loyalty and affection, on account of the laws passed by his Majesty for the extension of our liberties, and the im provement of our social, civil, and political condition. We would humbly suggest to your Majesty that you have abundant sources of consolation in the princely virtues of his deceased Majesty, which as they drew around him the prayers and benedictions of his subjects throughout his vast kingdom, have also, we hope and trust, secured the favour and blessing of the Almighty King of Kings, who alone bath immortality. May we represent to your Majesty, that you have the satisfaction and comfort of reflecting that you contr7buted largely to the happiness and honour of his late Msjesty, by your conjugal fidelity and kindness, and that last hours were supported and soothed by your Christ lan fortitude, and watchful, sleepless affection. Our prayers, as ministers of the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, shall not fail to ascend before the Throne of the Divine GracC, on your Majesty's' behalf, that you may ba upheld in your affliction, and comforted in your sorrow, by the blessing of the H ea v en l y Father— that peace and happi ness and honour may attend you all your days upon Earth—and that when ail things temporal shall pass away, you may be re-united to our departed King and Benefactor, in the immoveable, eternal Kingdom. HER MAJESTY'S ANSWER. CENTLI;MIEN, I feel deeply sensible of the motive which has called forth this welcome tribute of sympathy on the heavy calamity with which it has pleased Almighty God to afflict me, in common with the whole British empire, by the death of our late beloved King, my Royal consort. Although deeply and conscientiously attached to the doctrines and discipline of the Established Church, the whole tenour of the late King's reign is an evidence of his desire to satisfy the just claims of all religious bodies of every denomination ; and it is a source of heartfelt Comfort to me in this hour of bitter affliction to witaestk the expression of gratitude which has been unanimously rendered by all cla3ses of sos ciety to one of the best and most patriotic of Sovereigns. I thank you for your kind expressions towards Innelf, and feel grateful for the prayers which you offer up for my support under my present bereavement to that Power, from whom alone can proceed present consolation or fu ture happiness. Mr. Timothy Curtis winds up the Blandford corres podcnee by a letter to be found in another column. It seems he only published the correspondence which appeared in the Times of the 21st, and had no connection, directly or indirectly, with the article of the Times of the 11th inst. We think that Mr. Timothy Curtis, having the honour to hold "the high public situation" of Governo r o f t h e Bank of England, has acted wisely in disclaiming all share in the publication of the article in question ; ani we think, moreover, even if he did not bold that " high public situation," he would still be acting wisely in publishing such a disclaimer ; for the declaration of the Mar quis of Blandford, that he had communicated the correspon denee only to two persons; one of whom could not have crAn municated with the Times, the other being Mr. Timothy Curtis himself, certainly did attach not a little suspicion to him. However, it is but fair to add that he had already declared to the Noble Marquis that he had no share in the publication in the Times of the 11th. The mystery, therefore, remains still to be explained who could have supplied the Times with the information, the Marqiiis of Blandford having . declared that Mr. Timothy Qdrtit alone was possessed of that information.._. Morning Chronicle. We are requested to contradict a statement, which appeared in Vie Sun of yesterday under the head " Boston," to the effect that Sir James Duke pledged himself to the electors to endeavour to get the Poor Law repealed, and t h at it was owing to this pledge he obtained hiselection. Sir James merely Stated that there were some things in the Law in ques tion of which he disapproved, such as the prohibition of all out-door rill: 1, and the separation of aged couples; but that, generally speaking, he approved of the Poor Law.
