It. was opposed by all the members of the Government. A division took place, and the numbers were 265 against the ballot, and 133 for it. How was the majority of 265 com posed ? In that number of 265 there were not less than 186 Conservatives, and only 79 Ministerial Members. An other proposition ensued for turning the Bishops out of the House of Lords. When the question came to the vote, it was found that there were 197 Members against turning the Bishops out, and 105 for it. In that majority there were 138 Conservatives, and only 59 Ministerial Members ; so that on both occasions, unless the Ministers had been supported by the Conservatives, they would have been left in a minority.— ( Cheers.) The same thing had occurred on 50 other occa sions, and he would venture to say that two-thirds of his votes had been given in support of the Government against their own friends.—( Cheers and laughter, and a cry of " You sup ported the Poor Law Bill.") He admitted it, and his opinions regarding the leading enactments of that measure remained unchanged. He was convinced it would tend to a beneficial result as regarded the poor, but at the same time, if there was any hardship in its operation, he should be glad to see it cor rected. In conclusion, the Right Hon. Baronet said, if he were returned to Parliament he should maintain to the utmost the principles he had avowed. He would resist every in sidious scheme for changing the character of the institu tions of the country, and would never consent to the gradual infusion of so much of the democratic principle as would ultimately convert the ancient monarchy into a republic. He would maintain the privileges of the House of Lords, and strive to the utmost of his power to enable her Majesty, after a long and glorious reign, to deliver over to her successor— God grant it might be the direct heir, and one of her family_ the prerogatives of the monarchy unimpaired, and the liberties of the people increased and confirmed.—( Loud cheerine- '' .) Captain TOWNSHEND next came forward , and was loudly cheered by his friends. As for his principles, he needed only to say that he was a Whig, but no Radical. He was a sup porter of the present Government, and if he were returned, he should not be surprised to find Sir R. Peel voting with him, because he thought it not impossible that another eDnversion might be effected in that quarter. Captain A'Couicr avowed himself a Conservative—a deter mined upholder of our glorious Constitution of Queen, Lords, and Commons. After some further observations, which want of time compels us to omit, The show of hands was called for by the Mayor, and de clared by him to be in favour of Sir Robert Peel and Captain A' Court. A poll was immediately demanded on behalf of Captain Townshend. The voting will take place to-morrow ( Tues day). The proceedings terminated about half-past two o'clock. WORCESTER. The Nomination of the Candidates for the representation of this city took place on Saturday. Mr. Robinson, the former representative, in connection with Colonel Davis, after heinn nominated, came forward, and stated the reasons that induce ' d him to resign. Upon Mr. Robinson finally withdrawing from the contest, and quitting the hustings, some delay t.ok place, in conse quence of a conference between the Sheriff and the two other candidates, and their friends, as to the course of proceeding next to be adopted, and during which there were loud calls from amidst the electors for Mr. Hebb, the Mayor, and Mr. Mcrrison to be put in nomination. The Sheriff having declared that in the absence of a third candidate, Mr. Bailey and Colonel Davies were duly elected, the former gentleman came forward, and was received with a salvo of mingled cheers, groans, and hisses, when Mr. J. D. Stevenson proposed James Morrison, Esq., of Fore -street, London ; who was seconded by Mr. Raby, amid great confu sion. The Sheriff refused to recognise this nomination, and observed that it was too late, as the return had already been Made. Mr. Stevenson, upon this, sigailled to the Sheriff, that, as an elector, he protested against the return. . The probability of Mr. Robiason's reaignation was uhispered early in the morning, but still his announcement of it evidently took the greater portion of the meeting by sur prise, and this surprise was certainly not more visiine upon the faces of any than the two other lion. Candidates. Mr. Ro binson left the city shortly before two o'clock, for Cheltenham, amidst the sincere regret of his friends, and the adnirer; of that straightforward integrity and independence of conduct which have ever distinguished his Parliamentary career. We understand that Mr. J. D. Stevenson has presented to the Sheriff, J. F. Gibb, Esq., a formal protest against the return of Mr. Bailey and Colonel Davies, on the ground that such return is illegal, inasmuch as he, Mr. Stevenson, had pre viously apprised the Sheriff of his intention to put Mr. Mor rison in nomination, but which nomination the Sheriff refused to accept, but proceeded to declare the return of Mr. Bailey and Colonel Davies.— Worcester Herald. LEOMINSTER. STATE OF THE POLL.-MONDAY. Mr. Greenaway, Liberal Lord Hothain, Liberal. Mr. Wigram, the Tory Majority for Greenaway :.. 107 There is no doubt that the Liberal cause will triumph. The return of Mr. Greenaway is certain—even if all the un i )olled were polled he has the majority. CHESTER NOMINATION. The candidates are Lord Robert Or ,svetsor and Mr. Jer►i?, the late Member, and the tlon. Mr. Itydor„ who arrived in Cliester late on Saturday evening. r lie nomination took place in the Exchange this morning. Mayorof- Cl:water, Me...Tiro!,..thexioN,_ proposed Lad Robert Grosvenor in a few words. Alderman WALNEa seconded the nomination. • Mr. Wn.t.tamsos proposed, and Alderman Caoss seconded, the nomination of Mr. Jervis. Gen. BECK wiTir proposed Mr. Ryder, and the nomination was seconded by Mr. G. Brio()Kr.. Lord R. GaosvENon then addressed the electors, and enu merated the various measures for which the people were in 'Jebted to the Government, and which he had supported. Ile then stated his wish to abolish the Corn Laws and substitute a fixed duty. He was attached to the Established Church, bat should be glad to see a substitute for Church-rates. Mr. JERvis next presented himself to the meeting. He wished to see the pension-list revised, good and conciliatory • ge.vercraent established and maintained in the colonies and Ireland, public expenditure reduced, and the Queen sup ported. He was no friend to organic changes; and although wished to see the vote by proxy abolished, he would not do to thing which could tend to destroy that House of Peers to which the people were so mainly indebted for their liberties. He was also desirous that the question of the corn-laws should be fairly adjusted, the duration of Parliaments shortened, and that the Ministry should have the power of dismissing them. Mr. RYDER said that with regard to the Reform Bill, he would only say that be should have supported it had he been in Parliament. The principle of the Municipal Reform Bill was good, but its operation in that city was not so wonderfully satisfactory as had been represented. He fully concurred also in the principle of the new Poor-law Bill, but thought it ought not to apply to that city, or the great manufacturing districts, and he should resist any such application if he were returned to Parliament. With respect to the Church Esta blishment, he might observe that his father had ever been a most strenuous advocate for Church Reform, and had, since 1812, originated and supported various measures for that ob ject. The Corn-laws he thought mischievous, and should concur in any plan which would reduce the price of bread without injuring the farmer. Ile was of opinion that the Re form Act ought at least to be final, and lie disapproved of the Ballot. A show of hands was then called for, which, being in fa vour of Lord Robert Grosvenor and Mr. Jervis, a poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Ryder, and appointed to com mence on Tuesday morning at eight o'clock. WIGAN-MONDAY. The Nomination took place this day at eleven o'clock, at the Moot Hall, The candidates are John Hodson Kcarsler and Peter Greenhall, Esqrs., in the Conservative interest, and R. Potter and Charles Standish, Esqrs., in the Whig interest. The candidates severally addressed the meeting, and the show of hands was in favour of Messrs. Potter and Standish. A poll was then demanded by Mr. Gaskell. This contest will be a very close one. LIVERPOOL-MONDAY. At ten o'clock the Mayor opened the businers of the day according to the usual forms, and the nomination of the can didates forthwith proceeded. NICHOI.A.S ROBINSON, Esq., proposed Lord Sandon as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament. CH ItLES LAWRENCE, Esq., seconded the nomination. It \tits Baascium, Esq., proposed William ; Ewart, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the borough. W. W. CURRIE, Esq., seconded the nomination. Sir T. BRANCKER proposed Creswell Cresswell, Esq , as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament, and as one who would aid Lord Sandon in supporting those principles which that Noble Lord had so strongly advocated.; DAVID HODGSON, Esq., seconded the nomination. Josue: a WALMERSLET, Esq, proposed Howard Elphinstone, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the borough, and to support the principles which were advocated by Mr. Ewart. HUGH lloarsay, Esq., seconded the nomination. Lord SANDON then addressed the electors, but the attempt to obtain , a heari ng was utter l y unava ili ng . E Mr. W ART next addressed the people, but the effort was fruitless. The other candidates followed with similar success. The contest is expected to be a close one. STROUD—MONDAY The Nomination took place h ere this o . mrning, at half-pa= t nine o'clock. The formal busine ss having been nco gr d e through, and Mr. Scrope having been prop o s e d and r se Mr. HoLLoway proposed, and Mr. Wysa see . onded; Mr. Sergeant Adams. Air. Simons was nominated by Mr. LEWIS, and seconded by a gentleman, whose name we did not l earn . - A show of hands was then demanded, and declared in favour o f Lurd John Russell and Mr. Scrope. A poll was demanded on behalf of Sergeant Adams. The MAYOR then adjourned the meeting, arid declared that the poll would take place on the morrow (Tuesday) at eight o'clock. Mr. &ROPE afterwards addressed the meeting. Lord Joss RrssELL presented himself to the meeting. His Lor latip went into a detailed justification of the conduct of Mini,ters. In speaking of the poor Laws, be reminded them that the measure was passed before he was returned so Par liame it for Stroud, and that Ole cry now raised against the rneasu.'a was for party purpwes.—( Cries of " No, no.") He admitt ql the measure was not a perfcct one, but he hoped it would be perfected. Mr. SI voNs appealed to Lord John Russell, in the name of the cou .try, and of the Queen, to state his opinion on vote by Lord JOHN RCSSELL replied that, in 101, he had made it part of the Reform Bill, but that a majority of the Cabinet being against the measure, he had abandoned it. He consi dered that free voting was more consonant with the feelings of Englishmen, aud more consonant with the feelings of the country ; and he considered open voting beneficial, because the non-electors could exercise an influence over the electors under that mock! ; but he would say that if intimidation were carried to sucl.i an excess as to pervert the proper use of the franchise, he would, though reluctantly, accede to it. Sergeant ADAMS also addressed the meeting at considerable length, and the meeting was again adjourned. LYNN-MONDAY. Cr ur election, which commences to-morrow, continues to oc casion much bustle and excitement. Major Keppel's friends are in good spirits, but appear hardly so sanguine as the ir opponents. Though the day of the emancipation of the bo rough may not yet have arrived, many circumstances tend to s,bow that it is steadily approaching. The rulers of the repre sentation have not adhered to any political principles with much firmness, considering probably other objects in view of paramount importance. The town has been in turn repre sented by Sir Martin Folkes (a Whig), Lord Walpole (a Tory), and Lord William Bentinck and Lord William Len nox, something more than Whigs. It has had the good offices of Lord George Bentinck, when a Reformer, and also now that he is a Conservative of the first water ; and it has also been placed, and is sought to be continued under the watchful guardianship of Sir Stratford Canning, a Tory. Who is to say from which point of the compass the political trade-winds may next set in? To be sure it is somewhat annoying to the. electors and inhabitants to be thus taken from port to port at the will of the helmsman ; but they must console themselves in their misfortunes, with the hope that good and weighty rea sons for supporting the loyal and constitutional cause will soon be discovered. In the old-fashioned days of the sheep-shear ing festivities at Holkham the name of Coke operated as a charm here, as many of the county poll-books will show ; and it is possible, therefore, that the honours recently bestowed by her Majesty upon that distinguished patron of agriculture, and sincere friend of the farmers, may serve to awaken some elec tors, both fur the town and county, to a sense of their errors, and to convince them that those who have once supported sound and constitutional principles should not heedlessly go astray. DOVER-MONDAY, The Nomination of Candidates to represent this place in Par liament having been fixed for this day, the respective parties marched in procession to the hustings at twelve o'clock. Mr. Fector was proposed by M. Elwin, Esq , and . seconded by Mr. Alderman Filcher. Sir John Rae Reid was proposed by W. Dickinson, Esq.,. and seconded by E. P. Thonison, - Esq. Mr. Rice was proposed by S. M. Latham, Esq., and se conded by Mr. W. Prescott. On a show of hands being taken, the Mayor declared it in favour of - Edward Rice, Esq., and Sir John Rae Reid ; on which a poll was demanded for Mr. Fector, and appointed to be taken to-morrow morning at eight o'clock. The show of hands for Mr. Rice was immense ; that for Sir John Reid much less, but very numerous. The show for Mr. Fector ver,k_weak indeed. '!'here is scarcely a doubt that Mr. Rice and Sir John will be elected. Mr. Fector has lost much of his interest by his absurd crusade against the Commissioners of Dover Harbour. POOLE. The Nctnination of two Candidates for the representation of this town in Parliament took place on Saturday last. Our late Members having retired from the representation of the borough, two gentlemen in the Reform interest, viz., Mr. Charles Ponsonbv and Mr. G. IL Philips, solicited the suffrages of the electors, and they have not solicited in vain. Two gentlemen were also put forward in the Conservative in terest, and who had been selected for special reasnns : time were Sir Henry Willoughby and Sir .I.dm Ben. Walsh. It is not our business to inquire into the characters of these indi viduals ; we have no doubt they are gentlemen of the highest respectability; but the characters of the individuals with whom they _were associated, and whose cause they tspoused, threw a suspicion over them which could not help operating to their prejudice. The attempts which have been made by art ful and designing men to increase the register of electors, had well nigh destroyed the independence of this borough, and placed it in the hands of a set of political knaves and re negades not to be equalled by any set of men in the kingdom. On the day of nomination the Reform candidates were escorted to the hustings, accompanied by music. banters, and flags of various description.. Their opponents were also escorted in a similar mluner, and after the addresses the Sheriff called for slow of hands. This was stated by him, to our utmost astenishment, to be in favour of Sir John Walsh and Sir henry Willoughby. It was wittily remarked the. Sheriff must have lost his eyeglasies, for the numbers in the Reform interest were very considerably more than the Conservatives. This day ( Monday) the polling commenced at eight o'clock : for the first two hours the majority was in favour of the Ba ronet—for it was found that the hustings had been taken pos session of so as to ensure as Inrge a muster as possible on an early part of the day. ft very soon, however, became apparent, that this system could not be persevered in, and at half-past eleven the numbers were equal, and this gradually increased on the part of the Reformers, until at four o'ckck the num be s stood— Fur Mr. Charles Ponsonby Mr. G. R. Philips 257 Sir H. Willoughby Sir J. B. Walsh The enthusiasm of the Reforu,ers is it its height. It has never been equalled ; for so long has the system of misrule been persevered in, and so positive were the Conservatives of returning their Members, that it was a generally understood fact that Poole was to he sacrificed at the shrine of expe diency and at least send one Reformer and one Tory—the two of the latter would be much better. The Reformer! have nobly done their duty, and have now i►►flitted a blow which must crush the Tories for ever. To-morrow it i 3 in tended (when the declaration is made) to proceed into the adjoining districts, and form a large and respectable procession. DEVONPORT-MONDAY. Sir George_Grey and Sir Edward Codrington arrived here on Saturday evening. The day was almost a holiday; A procession was got up in first-rate style, with splendid banners, flags, &c., extending half a mile in length, comprising;' elec tors on foot, two and two—the united Committees being in carriages and on horseback, headed by the senior Reformer in the borough, R. 0. Backwell. Esq., on horseback. The whole, preceded by a full band, left the Town Hall, Devon port, soon after three, p.m., and proceeded over• the bridge to the township of Stonehouse—each side of the rising ground lined with thousands of spectators, cheering, waving kerchiefs, and small flags, inscribed " Grey," " Codrington,", " Re form," &c. On arriving at the bridge they were met by the Stonehouse procession, and proceeded through Union-street (the windows in which were thronged with well-dressed ladies) to the entrance of Plymouth, where the two bodies were met by the Plymouth procession, and the carriages of the two late Members and Reform candidates, John Collier and Thomas Bewes, Esq. The whole being thus joined, they extended more than a mile in length, and they passed in regular order through the streets of Plymouth to the entrance to the Lara Iron Bridge, where they met the mail from London, and re ceived Sir E. Codrington and Sir George Grey with accla mations that will not soon be forgotten. The Hon. Baronet and Gallant Admiral took their seats in an open barouche, which was drawn by six beautiful greys, richly caparisoned and tastefully decorated by Mr. W. E. Elliott, of the Devon port Royal lintel. After the cheerily , had a little subsided, the procession returned to Plymouth, and from thence to Stonehouse and Devouport, the hon. Candidates being greeted by assembled thousands on every hand. On their arrival, Sir Edward Codrington and Sir George Grey addressed the elec tors from the balcony of the Royal Hotel. Everything went off in• the most animated way, without the least accident. Wednesday next is the day of nomination, and as the Tory candidate is missing, our late Liberal Members will be de clared duly elected. The nomination for Plymouth is also fixed for Wednesday, and the polling will take place on Thursday. It will be a sharp contest ; but there is no doubt that Messrs. Collier and Bewes will get the victory over Sir James Cockburn and the lion. Captain Price Blackwcod. They are working very hard on both sides. BRISTOL, JULY 24. Flushed with victory, and that at great odds against us, I have to cornnumicate to you the torious news that the Re formers of Bristol' have Tully triumphed, and have set an example worthy of imitation by the electors of England ge nerally. Hampered by a set of venal free Men, who for gene rations have been the stumbling-stone to Reformers, and the prop of the Tory interest, we have nevertheless managed to conquer these enemies of liberty. Let it not be understood that the freemen generally are to be included among these bought ones—for there are numerous honourable exceptions to the charge—and thanks to the household constituency, they have succeeded in emancipating these honourable ones from Tory thraldom. At a very early hour—aye, even as soon as two o'clock in the morning —some of the leading Reformers were at work, and the general body of Liberals were on the move to the polling booths as early as seven o'clock in the morning, and in the first hour placed Mr. Berkeley far at the head of the poll. However, his majority was afterwards very much, even quite reduced ; and from one till four o'clock there was great slackness in the polling, and a general fear prevail i;ig that the Tories would beat us, from their known ability in electioneering tactics; but thanks to the well-concerted schemes of our friends, and to the energy of our working canvassers, we succeeded in producing the following result : Miles (Tory) 3,847 Berkeley ( W hig- Radical) 3,206 Fripp, ( Tory) 3,153 Majority for Berkeley... —53 !! ! (FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) This has been a glorious day for Bristol. The Hon. Francis Henry Fitzliardinge Berkeley has been returned by a majority of 53 over the ultra-Tory, Fripp, although the grossest bribery was practised yesterday (Sunday), and 201. per head bag been offered this afternoon. At the nomina tion, last Saturday, the Sheriff acted with the greatest par tiality in declaring the show of hands to be in favour of Fripp and Berkeley, when there was not more than twe nt y p ersons held up their h an d s f or Fripp. I cannot give the exact state of the poll ; th e Sheriff will declare it on Wednesday. Mr. Berkeley has made a speech, which you will acknowledge is short, but to the purpose. These were his words :—" Gen tlemen, thank God, Bristol is now free !" Berkeley, and Miles, a boy, are the Members for Bristol. P. S. I open to state that the Tory's statement is 36 ma jority for Berkeley over Fripp. Their " Own blue bells" have not rang since the close of the poll ; the Tory bludgeon men wore, as usual, in their brutality, till the police were sent for. LINCOLN. We have secured the return of E. L. Bulwer, Esq., who it THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 25, 1837 fifty a head of his competitor the " Rat Horrible, Henry Ellis," and the poll is nearly at a stand still. This is a victory of the independent Trades-people and Merchants against the utmost that bribery and the Parsonocracy could do. State of the poll at its close—Sibthorp, 486 ; Bulwer, 424 ; Ellis, 373 ; • Churchill, 327. CORNWALL. The nomination for Liskeard takes place on Monday the 24th instant. Mr. Charles . Buller is opposed by Mr. Keke wich, a Tory from Exeter, who has no chance, although they intend to come to a poll on Tuesday. At Bodmin the contest will be between the Tory knight Sir Samuel Spry, and Mr. Carteret Ellis, a Reformer. It is expected the latter will oust the former. If so, the borough will have two Liberals, Major Vivian (son of Sir Hussey) and Mr. Ellis. A most cheering prospect appears for the gallant Sir Hussey Vivian in the ensuing contest, as the successor of Sir W. Moles worth against Lord Elliot for East Cornwall. At Helston Mr. A. Buller is attacking the strong-hold of the Duke of Leeds against his Grace's nominee. It will be a hard run. HULL NOMINATION. This preliminary proceeding took place this morning on the hustings, in front of the Mansion-house. Soon after ten o'clock, the Sheriff; Joseph Sykes, Esq., took his place, fcl lowed on to the hustings by the candidates, and a large party of their friends. Most of our readers are well acquainted with the formalities of the first part of the process. These having been gone through in the customary manner, THOMAS NEWMARCH, Esq., rose to propose Mr. Hutt, as a fit person to represent Hull. JOHN SMITH, Esq., seconded the nomination. EDWARD GIBSON, Esq., proposed to the same effect Mr. Wilberforce, and was seconded by G. CODD, EN. THOMAS WARD, Esq., next begged leave to nominate Sir Walter James, and was seconded by A. TERRY, Esq. JAMES BOWDEN, Esq., proposed Mr. Wood, and was se conded by Alderman BELL. The candidates themselves then successively addressed the assembled multitude. Mr. Wood having finished, the Sheriff called for a show of bands for each candidate. This having been made and carefully estimated, he publicly declared that the election had fallen on Mr. Ilutt and Mr. Wood. A poll having been demanded for Mr. Wilberforce and Sir Walter James, the proceedings were adjourned to Monday morning at eight o'clock, at which hour the polling will commence. In no instance, and we have seen malty elections, do we re member to have seen so decided an expression of feeling in favour of the Liberal Candidates. We should say, upon a fair calculation, that twenty to one hands were held up in favour of Mr. Hutt and Mr. Wood.—Hull Rockinhgni, Saturday. ROCHESTER.—Yesterday being the day fixed for the nomi nation of the several candidates for the city of Rochester, the electors assembled at the Townhall shortly before ten o'clock in the morning. Mr. Alderman Thompson proposed, and Mr. Fisher seconded Ralph Bernal, Esq., as a fit and proper can didate to represent the city of Rochester in the ensiling, Par liament. Mr. Nicholson proposed, and Colonel Bingham se conded, James Douglas Donald Douglas, Esq. Mr. Man. clerk proposed the Honourable Thomas Best, a Captain in the Royal Navy. Mr. Hobhouse avowed his principles to be si milar to Mr. Bernal's, and defended ut great length the con duct of the Government. He concluded by stating his san guine hope of being returned with Mr. Bernal. The show of hands was declared to be in favour of Mr. Bernal and Mr. Douglas. A poll was then demanded, and which take place this day. FLINTSIIIRE BOROUGIIS.—The contest for these boroughs, as well as for the county, goes on most prosperously for the Libe- ral cause. Afar:Dr:Ex.—Mr. Bannerman, the city Member, addressed the electors, on Friday, in a speech whijh was received with cheers long and loud. 01 his return there can be no doubt. The Atcrdet:a. Herald says—" Before we have another op ' r ur-Ity of addressing our readers, that gentleman will have received two at least ont of every three votes that will be tendered at the poll. Co t .—A great meeting cf the Reformers was held on Friday at the Diorama. where resolutions, approving of the conduct of Messrs. Callaghan and Beamish were adopted.

MORLEY'S HOTEL, CHARING CROSS, July '25, 1837. THE COMMITTEE for conducting the ELECTION of Colonel EVANS and Mr. LEADER, announce to their Brother Electors that the DAY of ELECTION is fixed for TO MORROW (WyoNEsnAv) the 26th instant. The Committee now congratulate the Electors upon the brilliant prospects of success; the state 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. All Reformers perceive and despise the bass slanders by whirl the Tory party have attempted to injure Colonel Evans • but thi fl a gitious conduct is now meeting with the reward it richly merits, The Committee earnestly entreat of the Electors not to relax in neir endeavours to sink the pretensions of the Tory party for ever in Westminster, by continuing shadily and perseveringly in their la bours until the final close of the Poll at FOUR O'CLOCK TO-MORROW. _ By order of the Central Committee, WILLIAM a'BECKETT, Chairman.

THE QUEEN AND THE BISHOP OF NORWICII,— Amongst the many excellent appointments which have taken place in the Queen's household, there is none more excellent than that of the new Bishop of Norwich to be Clerk of the Closet to her Majesty. Those who have the honour of know ing his Lordship will be assured that it would not have been possible to place about the person of our young Sovereign, in that most responsible situation, any prelate more certain to give her faithful and judicious counsel as to the regulation of her conduct in any matter which may justify his interference ; whilst his consistent and sterling liberality throughout life af fords a pledge that episcopal influence will no longer be used as a means of causing political and religious privileges to be withheld from any class of the community through insidious appeals to the fears or prejudices of the monarch.—Manchester Guardian. CHURCH-PrATES.—In the parish of St. Nicholas Acorns, Lombard-street, a poll having been demanded on the question whether the consideration of a church-rate be deferred for six months, a rate of 2s. in the pound was carried by a ma jority of nearly five to one. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE.—ThiS theatre opened yesterday evening with Balfo's opera of Catherine Grey. The piece was splendidly got up, and extremely well performed. Miss Romer did great justice to the character of the heroine; and Miss Rainforth was an admirable Queen Elizabeth. Her costume was not only correct, but very becoming ; and the quiet dignity of her manner evinced great judgment. Balls himself (as before) was Lord Hertford. The performers re,- ceived a great deal of applause, but the plaudits of the first night (which this may be considered to have been) are no good criterion of the success of a piece. After the opera, " God save the Queen" was sung by the whole strength of the com pany, and loudly applauded. The house was good, though not crowded. At Methuen, in Scotland, three birds were recently shot while feeding on the cones of the larch, and found to be the parrot crossbill—ra: o in this country, though they inhabit the banks of the Rhine. The plumage of the female re sembles that of the green linnet ;, but the male is of a 14 colour on the head, breast and back, with wings and tail of a dark brown. It is believed that an artist of celebrity will shortly figure in one of the Courts at Westminster as defendant in to action for cries. con. The injured husband, on rn . akilig the discovery, broke up his domestic establishment, and desired the lady to quit the house.-- Sunday Paper. Ole .1111,.. LOND ON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 25, 1937. The ,election prospects of the country are most cheering. The City of London has returned its for mer tried Representatives. The Tower Hamlets and Southwark have done the same ; Finsbury is following their example, the teo Liberal candidates being, at the moment we are writing (one o'clock), nearly a thousand a-head of PERCEVAL, the Poor Tory crea ture, who has been persuaded, as Mr. R tcll A RDs was at Southwark, to make a fool of himself not for the benefit but the disadvantage of his party. In Lambeth the polling is proceeding with great spirit on the Liberal side ; there Mr. BALDWIN is doomed by a now irreversible decree, to share the fate of his fel low Tories, RICHARDS and PERCEVAL. Matters do not proceed quite so triumphantly in Ma rylebone ; but there success is anticipated for Sir S. WHALLEY (Mr. HALL being long since secure), by the withdrawing of Sir WILLIAM HORNE and Mr. YOUNG, now that their return is proved to be utterly impossible, and by the union of the reforming electors in favour of the two other Liberals. This is the course which sincere friends of the cause would pursue, and therefore it is expected of the electors of Marylebone. The electors of the Metropolitan districts are thus doing their duty in gallant style. They are nobly ful filling the expectationss which their former achieve ments in the cause of Reform had excited in the breasts of their countrymen. Need we inform the electors throughout the country what it is their duty to do ? Need we impress upon their minds that this is the moment to he up and doing—that if they neglect the present• opportunity of reinforcing the ranks of Reform in the House of Commons, they will never be able, by any future exertions, to make amends for their present remissness ? This is the time, and the only time, to show by their active zeal that they are sincere well-wishers to the practical development of those prin ciples " which they profess. And what stronger encouragements can any man require to do his duty than now present themselves ? When. had we a Sovereign educated in the school of Reform, and spontaneously embracing those principles for which the people have been so long contending ? Never. Those liberal principles of government, by which all sectarian distinctions are blotted out from the hook of the Sovereign's remembrance, which guarantee equal rights and privileges to every portion of the empire, and which regard the amelioration of our dilapidated, perverted, or abused institutions, as a necessary foun dation for the peace and happiness of the nation— those are the very principles upon which the people have been at issue with former Sovereigns, and now we behold them with delight upon the throne, while we see that throne itself surrounded—not merely fronted, as it lately was—with those who are imbued with kindred sentiments. What then is the inference to be drawn from a state of affairs, so full of promise—so bright with hope ? h it that we are to sit dozing and dreaming, and let our youthful QUEEN and her Ministers work out our political salvation ? There is no man, we trust, so utterly bereft of reason and sense as to suppose this— none so stupid as not to see that, without the as sistance of a Reforming Parliament, the QUEEN and her Ministers are perfectly powerless. The majority in the House of Commons is the instrument with which alone a reforming Queen and a reforming Admi nistration can advance the cause of the people—can accelerate the progress of national improvement. Let it be supplied by the electors of Great Britain. It is their first duty to their country to spare no exertions to shrink from no labour, to he deterred by no difficulties , in order to accomplish this all-important object. The Tories are straining every nerve to oust iVlnti from the representation of Middlesex. They are, as a matter of course, perfectly indifferent as.to the means they employ for this purpose. To them falsehood is every whit as acceptable a Weapon as truth—rather in- -- - deed the more acceptable of the two : misrepresentation the Venta de Poyo. The engagement lasted until sev e n o'clock in the evening, and, if we are to judge from the brisk and calumny follow their steps as naturally as the Less of the fusilade, it must have been a warm one. The shadow follows the substance. They may indeed plead Captain-General has not yet ascertained in a positive manner in excuse for their conduct in this particular instance, t f h i e L r l esult of the affair; carts of...'"—( Interrupted by night that they are driven by necessity to this reprehen sible course, because, having nothing real to object ' either to Mr. HUME'S moral or political character, they must either invent charges against him, or let him alone. The latter alternative they will not adopt —it is quite against the grain. They hate him too much for his manly and uniform assertion of the great principles of civil and religious liberty, and his fearless exposure of all their jobs and other mal-practices, not to oppose his return for the metropolitan county, the representation of which adds so much to.his power of annoying them. But the thing which sticks most in the stomachs of the party—the never-to-be-digested offence of Mr. HuasE—is his bringing to light the machinations of their Chief, through the instrumenta lity of the Orange Lodges, to thrust aside our be loved QUEEN from the succession to the Throne which she now fills and adorns. The explosion of this CUMBERLAND conspiracy, they know, was entirely . owing to his sagacious and persevering exertions. It was his crowning offence, and never will it be forgiven. " had it not been committed," say they, " we might at this moment have had the King of HA NOVER on the Throne of England." One of the base expedients to which the faction are now resorting, in order to influence the electors against Mr. HUME, is raising against him the cry of irreligion. It is perhaps the most flagitious of all the arts that unprincipled men have recourse to, and is never used by them but in cases of acknowledged des peration. Mr. HuNIE opposed Saint AGNEW'S Bills for bringing religion into discredit and contempt with the people, (for such would have been their inevitable effect), and for doing this real service to religion, he is selected from the majority of the House of Commons, Whig, Tory, and Radical, who voted with him, and held up as an Atheist ! Such diabolical calumny is too glaring to require confutation ; but lest there should be any well-meaning persons deceived by it, we here sub join an extract from a speech delivered by the Rev. Dr. PYE SNI ITU . , at a public meeting of Middlesex electors residing in Hackney, and other parts of the Tower Hamlets, held at Hackney last week, which escaped our notice at the time. Dr. P. SMITH is a man well known in the religious world, and no less distinguished for his piety than his learning. The testimony of such a man cannot fail to set Mr. HUME right with any persons who may have been misled by his vile slanderers : " The Rev. Dr. Pye Smith said, he was desirous of de claring himself ready to submit to his full share of the re proaches which, in some extremely bigoted and unjust perioci cal publications, are cast upon many religious persons for the part which they have deemed it their duty to take in reference to political measures. An assertion has often been made, and urged with as much confidence as if it were a maxim of self evident truth, that religious persons ought to have nothing to do with the politics of this world. With equal reason might it be said that men who fear God and keep his command ments, should never concern themselves with the provision of food and raiment for their families, the means of preserv ing the public health, agriculture, or merchandise, the liberal or the mechanical arts, or any acts or pro ceedings which are intended to prevent or diminish evil, and to increase good in the communities of man kind. In his view, some attention to politics was the duty of every man of cultivated mind; and, in a most especial manner, if he be a man of Christian piety —( Hear.) For what are politics ? They are that branch of moral science which in vestigates the rights and duties belonging to men in their several stations and relations in civil society. Is not this an essential branch of morals? And are not morals, in their entire comprehension, an essential part of religion ? Op probrium was also cast upon a numerous body of persons pro fessing serious piety, when they declined to support certain pro fessedly religious candidates for seats in the House of Com mons ; but whom, with all their religion, and many esti mable qualities with which they may be adorned, we cannot but regard to be men lamentably destitute of knowledge, and principles requisite for legislation and the conduct of national affairs. Should ne put our persons and families under the medical direction of a physioUtt, who iii truly pious anti well-meaning man indeed, but who is the slave of mischievous theories, and is utterly destitute of the science and skill necessary for sound medical prac tice ?_( Hear.) Or do those who arc perpetually harping upon this objection, select men to be their agents, clerks, and managers of business, to be their law advisers, and to conduct their suits, who are ignorant and prejudiced persons, devoid of the penetration and prudence which the business requires ; but whose qualification lies solely in their being religious persons, and their thinking themselves fit for any important and respon sible station ? Providence has distributed talents among men with a wise diversity. All men are not adapted to all employ ments, nor are capable of them. We must look then, with a view to the obtaining of specific objects, to instruments fit and likely for those purposes. For example , Mr. Pownall is a candidate for the representation of this metropolitan county. " I respect him," said the Doctor, "as a good and pious man ; but I think him out of his element in aspiring to be a British Legislator.—( Hear, hear.) In my view, he is utterly unfit to occupy such a station, notwithstand ing his conscientious and upright character. Why do I say this ? Because Mr. Pownall is notoriously and avowedly devoted to a party which arrogates to itself the style of Con servative : but which I am compelled, by all that I can under stand concerning the tendencies of theoretic principles, and all that I have been able to learn by reading and observation, to regard as Conservative, indeed of evil, but obstructive and destructive of good to a wide extent.—( Cheers.) It is the system and principles of this party which Mr. Pownall self not fully aware of the pernicious purposes whi?h . he is subserving) is put forwards to maintain. In dech l ning to support him I detract nothing from his character _; hiscppse not the rrian, but his principles.—( Hear.) If, by . aid , _ and that of other worthy but, as I am most deeply convinced, most ill-reasoning and misjudging men, that party were to . re gain the powersofin injustice e S e t State , rampant,lt o b l e er n a o n e c e on a s n o d l at e i x on el o te . me, when n i o n r e p b o u i i s i o n n i t t h w e land,o nlwould beG r ena otconsolation Britain w eak weakened, d in , and e Ireland i t,reflect that sincere and pious men had been the tools to effect this ruin l—(Hear, hear, hear.) Oa the other hand, sup pose that I see a man whom I have the pain of ap prehending to fall short of what I deem important views in religion, but a man of honourable character, in domes tic life exemplary, a firm supporter of the rights of con science—the great Protestant principle that a man must judge for himself,in matters of religion—who, during a long cou rse o f life, has shown himself the fr iend of civil and religious free dom, and of justice and economy in the administration of affairs ; and such a man is willing to make the great sacrifices of his personal ease and enjoyment in order to serve my country ; I feel myself obliged, upon every ground of reason and religion, to do all that I can, by fair and candid argument, to promote his return to Parliament. Such a man I believe Mr. Hume to be. He has, I fear, at different times given utterance to rash and very painful expressions, the unhappy effect of which has been aggravated by their being misunder stood and misreported ; but I have no doubt that if he had been the advocate of David Hume's Tory politics, he might have adopted the infidel principles of that writer, and yet he would not have been held up incessantly and unsparingly to the disapprobation of the public ; yea, that his very revilers would have been ingenious enough to spread over him some broad shield of apology. - , " BAYONNE, JULY 22, 6 O'CLOCK, P.M. "THE GENERAL COMMANDING THE 20TH MILITA ICY DIVISION A report reached Vienna on the 13th of the death of the Queen of NAPLES. It was stated that her MAJESTY had been seized with cholera, and died sud denly. We sincerely trust this rumour is unfounded. Besides being in the flower of her age, and the idol of her illustrious family, the Queen of NAPLES was distinguished for the most amiable virtues that adorn the female character. To the poor she was bountiful—to strangers affable—to all a pattern of con jugal affection and well-regulated piety. Should the report unfortunately prove true, ari will again be gladdened by a visit f ro m his NePapolsitan It would be curious to witness the interview between the Royal widower and the Duke of ORLEANS. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday. They contain but little intelligence of any interest. From Spain the following fragments of tele graphicine n despatches They patches were receiv ed b y the Frenc h Go. rn have reference to the affair vemen tioned in the despatch from Narbonne, published i n The Sun of yesterday : " MARJEILLES, JULY 21, 5 o'Cloc K , P " THE PREFECT OF THZ MOUTHS OF THE RFIONE TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. " The Consul of France in Valencia writes to me under date of the 15th inst.:— " The Pretender remained during three days within sight of Valencia, but his only attempt against the city was confined to a slight skirmish. lie then proceeded in the direction of Madrid, by the road of Las Cabrillfts. General Oraa, who had for some days been observing his movements, having ef fected a junction at Cuarta with Borso and Sanchez, and thus found himself at the head of 9,000 men, attacked the rear guard of the insurgents this morning at nine o'clock, at TO THE MINISTER OF WAR " On the 17th Don Carlos marched towards Cuenca by Las Cabrillas. Espartero was to have entered Molina on the same day. The bands which surrounded Saragossa have concentrated at Higar " 4 (Interrupted by night-fall.) The advices received from Madrid are very favour able. Senors CA LATRA VA and IVIENDIZABA L, finding their influence with the Cortes rather in creased than diminished by the attacks made upon them by OLOZAGA and his friends, have re solved to disarm the honest portion of the Opposition by prosecuting the war with more than their wonted vi gour. This is the safest and best course. Indeed, it is the only one dictated by a true regard to the welfare of the country. _ _ _ The Carlist Chief PALILLOS lately applied to the local authorities of La Mancha and Estrema dura, offering to agree to the extension of the articles of the ELIOT Convention to these pro vinces. This offer was refused, on the ground that the peace of these districts was only casually disturbed by bands of robbers and assassins, who could not be considered in the light of an enemy, to whom the usages of war could be extended. PALILLOS vowed vengeance; and having seized thirty of the National Guards, whom he dragged separately from their homes, the monster struck off their heads in the sight of a band of insurgent:, whom Don CARLOS has re cognized as a division of his army ! The following are extracts from the papers : To the extracts which we have given this morning from the Barcelona journals, we add the following : " Baron de Meer left Manceau on the 13th with a battalion to advance to Berta and Solsona, the centre of the Catalo nian faction. After leaving garrisons in these two places he intends to visit the whole of the mountainous country." The Garde National observes, that as soon as the Govern ment at Madrid saw itself threatened with danger close at hand, it has displayed great activity, though it had been su pine in the invasion of Arragon and Catalonia. " Happily," it says, " Madrid is not Paris ; and though Madrid should fall the provinces would of themselves maintain their rights and their independence, and re-animate the capital itself, which has been so backward in procuring the provinces the aid ne cessary to vanquish their common enemy."—Le Commerce.
