AN APPEAL to the CANDIDATES for the REPRESENTATION in PARLIAMENT of the CITY , of 'N ORWICH, AGREED to at a MEETING of the DELEGA rEs of the NORWICH SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION, held on TUESDAY, May 11, 1852. Gentlemen. As the Representatives of STY HUNDRED SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS, who gratuitously expend much of, their time and energy in efforts to promote the moral elevation of the popular ion of this city (especially of the poorer classes) by training up the youth in the knowledge and belief of Scriptural truth, and to the practice of honesty and uprightness in all things, we are induced to appeal to you as Candidates for the Representation of this great City in Parlia ment, frolli our fbar lest Scenes of demoralization and vice, which have too Aden prevailed at contested elections, should again be suf fered to obtain amongst us, and from the belief that it is in your power to 'prevent them :- Ist. By withholding the pecuniary means; and 2dly. By resolutely refusing to accept a seat which shall In any degree be secured by corrupt and immoral influences. We should not thus presume to address you, were it not notorious that Norwich has suffered repeated and wide ' spread evil from the immoral and corrupt influences brought to bear upon its population at its Parliamentary elections, and that the high character and station of the Candidates and their Committees have not always been a guarantee for upright con duct ; and that eves those whose duty it is to EXECUTE the law, and who should be a terror to evil doers and a praise to such as do well, have joined to BREAK the laws of their country, by demoralizing and bribing their fellow-citizens. We fear lest the scenes and crimes of the past should in the heat of the contest be again enacted amongst us, and that the fair fruits of many, many years of patient toil on the part of Sunday School Teachers should thereby be blasted in a few days, and the honesty and high principle which it has been their earnest aim to instil into the minds of our population should be destroy ed or corru t bribes. Far less do we fear tine _ Inval•ion of thelesdatandtt deranzpirkiesentrritabribery and corruption. • Signed on behalf of the Delegates, THOMAS JAItROLD, Cha!rman. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.

Os.; 1 the EMIGRATION STATISTICS. Every city, town, village, and hamlet in the kingdom now participates in an enterprising spirit of Colonial Emigration. The accounts from Australia and other places continue to buoy up the ardent hopes of industrious adv,nturers : rich soil, healthy climates, Cheap land, and valuable mines, are unquestionably advantages of the most important character. To narticalarise how many have al ready crossed the great ocean would be useless; every day the tide hews from all parts, and preparations are making by immense num bers. Very few Emigrants are acquainted with the articles most necessary for their passage, or know what clothing and utensils will be most useful for them in far distant countries. The incredible amount of Business E. MOSES & SON have dispatched in the Outfitting Department, and the many years ex perience they have had in preparing articles for Emigrants to every part of the world, has Riven them the entire pre-eminence in the Outfitting Branch, all Emigrants should apply to E. MOSES & SON fbr their Outfits —their superiority is universally admitted—their suitability for any country is guaranteed—and their prices are lower than at any other House in the World. The Emigrant like wise saves much valuable time by selecting his Outfit at E. MOSES & SON'S, their extensive trade in that line indacing them to keep a department in their Gigantic Establishment expressly devoted to the arrangement of Outfits for any part of the Universe. OUTFITS can be forwarded to any part of the Kingdom on re ceipt of a remittance. E. MOSES and SON supply them for 3/. 155., 111. upwards. A detailed list can be had on appli cation, or forwarded post-free to any pirt of the Kingdom. E. MOSES and SON gratuitously furnish every information re quired by Emigrants relative to departure of VESSELS, Cost of Passage, &c., either on application or per post E.

The investment of money with this Association, which was established in May, 1644, on a plait peculiar to itself, secures equal advantages to the surplus capital of the aftlaent, and the provident savings of the industrial classes of the community, and affords an opportunity for realising the highest rate of Interest yielded by first class securities, in which alone the money is employed. Moneys deposited with the Association, for Investment, are exempt from liabilities on account of life contingencies. as well as the expenses of management, which are borne by the Lite Depart ment, in consideration of the hilliness brought to it by investment transactions ; therefore, Depositors enjoy the entire profits yielded by their capital free from deduction of any kind—an advantage which no other Institution, either public or private, holds forth, or can afford, to its members. Interest or Dividend, is payable half-yearly, in January and July. Capital Stock, £lOO,OOO. The Capital Stock is altogether distinct and separate from the Depositors' Stock in the Investment Department. It constitutes, with the Premium F un d, a gaaran tee for the engagements of the Association, and has been provided in order to render t he security h of the Assured complete. LIFE DEPARTMENT.

This Instittition was originally established under a different title in the year 1839, on the plan of admitting the assured to participate in four-fifths only of the profits ; but the Society has since been re modeled so as to become a strictly " Mutual Association." The whole of the funds and property belong to, and are accumu lated for the exclusive benefit of the assured. The profits are divided annuall' among the policy-holders, and applied in reduction of the current year's premium ; thus constitut ing, in effect, an immediate cash payment to the assured. Half-credit policies are granted on terms unusually favourable to the holders, the amount for which credit is given being gradually li quidated out of the profits. Two Tables of Rates have been computed; one entitling the as sured to participate in the profits after payment of five annual pre miums ; the other considerably lower, in which the period of parti cipation is deferred two years longer : the premium ultimately pay able by the assured is, however, precisely the same, whichever Table of Itates may in the first instance he selected. General meetings of the members arc held annually, to whom full and complete statements of the affairs and funds of the Society are submitted, and by whom the division of the profits are from time to time declared. At the Annual Ger eral Meeting held on the 27th April last, a di vidend of 30 per cent. upon the current year's premium was awarded to all members who had made the requisite number of payments on their respective policies.

The following letter, in reply to Louis Napeleon's de crees on the oath, has been published:— Malines, May 10, 1852, 10 o ' c l oc k, A. 3 1. "M. le'Ministre, — During 36 years I have served France with a devotion which might be equalled, but which could not ho surpassed. " Under tho Restoration I held a grade in the army proportional to the then obscurity of the services I had rendered. "Under the Government of July the chances of war e da D ys ue af d t , e A r u th m e are r , oe w la h m om atio l n h o a f d th j e us ß t e r p e u c b o li n c : raised me rapidly to the station of lieutenant-general. d w u h l e‘ t Tn ed wM o e.l n ythe board the Solon, honouring him with a salute from the artillery of the Place de la Marine, as if the King Louis Philippe still inhabited the Tuileries, had left me the Government of Algeria ad interim. "I wrote to the Minister of the Interior that I had not wished for the proclamuti n of the Republic, but that it did not appear to me to change my duties towards my country; the provisional Government did not break my sword, and on the 16. h April it had no cause to regret being able to make use of it. A short time after that day I was appointed Governor-General of Africa. I soon left that high positior, where everything was easy for me to effect, to respond to the confidence of theeleetora af. Paris, who called me to the Constituent Assembly. General Cavaignac, charged with the Executive Go vernment, after the days of June, 1848, at which time I was absent, named me on the 30th of June Commander in-Chief of the National Guards of the Seine. On the 14th• of December of the same year General Cavaignac having desired me to call at the hotel he occupied, Rue de Vareunes, told me, in the presence of all the Ministers, that the police believed in a Bonapartist movement, prepared to profit by the cerenaany of the anniversary of the translation of the remains of the Emperor to the Invalide9, in order to excite the pe.pular enthusiasm to conduct Napoleon Bonaparte to the Tuile ries, and to proclaim him Emperor. General Cavaignac finished by asking my opinion on the measures to be taken. I gave him it, and finished by saying, 'My dear General, I have given my hand to Louis Napoleon to make him a President—not an Emperor. In a few days he will be President of the Republic; but you may depend upon it that it is not to-morrow that he will enter the Tuileries, where you have established my quarters general.' " These words expressed briefly, but exactly, my un shakeable determination to remain—what in all my life I have been—a man of order and of the law. " Louis Napoleon Bonaparte has several times at tempted to make me deviate from the right line which I had traced to myself, in order to determima ne m e d to serve his ambition. Ile has offered me, other persons off , r me, not only the dignity of Marshal, which Franco would have seen conferred upon me without considering itself fallen, but ano ther military dignity which, since the fall of the Empire, has ceased to dominate our hierarchy. He wished to attach to that dignity enormous pecuniary advantages, which, thanks to the simplicity of my ha bite, I had no merit in disdaining. Having perceived, when very late, that personal interest had no influence on my conduct, he endeavoured to gain me over by pre tending that he was resolved to prepare for the triumph of the cause of the monarchy. to which he supposed that I was devoted by my predilections. All these kinds of seductions were powerless. I never ceased to be, when in the command of the army of Paris and in the Assembly, ready, as I once stated during a sitting of the Committee of Permanence, after the reviews at Satory, to defend with energy the legal powers of Louis Napo leon Bonaparte, and to give every opposition to the ille gal prolongation of those powers. " It is not to you that it is necessary to tell how those powers have been established under a new form, and what iniquitous and violent acts have accompanied his installation. " Persecution has not cooled my patriotism. The exile which I have undergone in solitude and silence, which now you force me to break, has not changed in my eyes my duties to France. Were it to be attacked, I would solicit with ardour the honour of fighting in its defence. " The only French journal which I here see has just informed me of the decree which determines the mode of taking the oath—which is to be demanded from all military authorities. A p iragra ph, evidently drawn up order to be applied to the proscibed generals, gives ,hem a delay of four months. I have no need of deliberat ,ng so long upon a question of duty and honour. " This oath—exacted by the perjured man who has failed to corrupt rat—this oath I refuse. (Signed) " CHANGARNIER." RAGGED SCHOOLS. TO ,THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. . SIR,—S, sing a letter from a Mr. John Lloyd in this evening's Sun on the above subject, may I be al lowed the indulgence of replying to that letter in your columns? I quite agree with your correspondent when he says that there are few societies which have such strong claims to the support of the affluent as Ragged Schools. Your correspondent states that there are many who de cline to contribute to these schools, not because they object to the nature of the plan, but to the name only. Now I certainly have never yet heard or road a single sentence at all disapproving of the title until I read Mr. L.'s letter, and I cannot myself at all agree in calling things by their wrong names. These schools isi T o immediately o i r ls o , v h te o t however e t v h e er trans f ormed ragged cont rar h y e , are schools for the ragged, and why refrain from calling them ragged schools? The reason that is given in the letter is that directly a boy is admitted into one of these m lien i t g t o h li t qr h u. iaLtve.e ag,different3 beensombeef Sunday before, being. dhaye will undertak e evenin g ass o wn F b ie le ld d :la t n h e er o ,e r w P i l . u u m l n t o re t e- b e e ou i r .o t un sc d ho m ol o s r , to say, that out of the whole number there a dozen in the e ll-n th d an l state which he describes, as clean and decently clad; for we do not keep such lads as these _.... as 'soon as they a tt a i n a certain situations, or they emigrate, sGc thus level they retire into others of the ragg e d population ' wh o, making room for through the same system, tl3 ust—us perhaps, go always keeping it a ragg(.d school.

EXPORTS TO TURKEY.—Yesterday a return, ob tained by Lord Dudley !quart, was printed, showing the quantities and declared value of the articles of British and Irish produce and manufactures exported to Turkey from the United Kingdom in each year, from 1831 to 1850. In the first year the declared value of the goode Was 888,654/., and in the last yen 3,113,6n1. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—Sir James Graham's address to the electors of Carlisle is so thoroughly characteristic that, what ever its political value, it cannot fail to be admired as a specimen of the man. Everybody recogniecs in that man a power —a " Titanic energy," as we save seen it expresJed, which, like the muscles of an athlete, eV,- goats tho idea of even a redundancy of strength. That is tho character of this adnress. It is muscular deve lopment at its highest strain, almost at fever point, but the gi est) is not well directed, and its objects are not well chosen. Sir James describes in successive para. graphs, with strenuous indignation, the politic with dra.wel of Protectionist c l a i ms, the official candour of the budget, the possible d anger o f the electors, the private opinions confessed by L or d D er b y on corn , an d by Sir John Pakington on aug er , M r . Di srae l i ' s v i ews o n direct taxation, Sir Fitzroy K e lly' s on the repea l o f t h e corn laws, and Mr. D i sr ae li' s renewed assuranc e of his good intentions f ur t h e .farmer; w i n di ng up with is solemn centime against trusting men who would, if they could, reverse free trade. But, take the address as a whole, Sir James throws no new light on the condition of parties, much less on the prospects of the country. He bas not convicted the Protectionists of dishonesty, or dragged them from their reserve; he has not stripped the budget of its merit; he has not persuaded us that - Lord Derby and Sir John Pakington will not surrender their private opinions, now that it is convenient to do s 0; he has not raised Sir Fitzroy Kelly into a politieal, personage; he has not proved that to vote for an adherent of Lord Derby is to aid and abet in the revival of prolection; what is more than all, he has net--e'en attempted to tell us what is the alter • , .what sere ar e t o h ave if we My r a not eta- lintel - nistsy. We are no a d m i rer s of Lord Derby's Adin nistration. Their positi on i s humiliating 47(4 to themselves and to the (MOM 'We see neitheir in their passconduct nor in their promis es an y t rus tworthy pledge of the good government o f t hi s c ou ntry; but we are not prepared to say, w i t h Si r J a mes Graham, that to be an opponent of Lord Derby is an indisputable claim to our suffrage. We are forced to take things as they are, and occasionally to put up with a had thing for fear of a worse. Nor is the ". worse" in this case a mere sha dowy apprehension. It presents itself to us in the pal pable form of a triumvirate, of whom and of whose policy Sir James Graham says nothing to the electors of Carlisle. The day that sees the discomfiture, as we think the deserved discomfiture, of Lord Derby's Cabinet, will see Lord John Russell, Sir James Graham, and Mt. Cobden, either called to her Majesty's councils or estab lished in some less official, though not less powerful, fraternity. In those three names we see no pledge either of good government or of stability. After the invariable precedent of all triumvirates, one of them will ultimately carry the day, and jostle his colleagues out of power. If that one be Lord John Russell, then we shall simply see the two last miserable years of in action over again; if it be Sir James Graham or Mr. Cobden, it remains to be seen how far either is compe tent to provide for all the interests of this country. With so much uncertainty in that quarter of the horizon, Sir James's total omission of the consequences involved in overthrowing Lord Derby, though natural, is by no means satisfactory. It is contrary to all the rules of common sense to go entirely by negatives. Sir James tells Free-traders to ask candidates—" Are you a sup porter or an opponent of Lord Derby's Government?" No rational person would ever act thus in his private affairs: If his choice lay between two agents, he would not close with Scylla because he justly suspected Cha rybdis. It is very true that men who, like Lord Derby and his colleagues, confess to private leanings at vari ance with what we believe to be the common weal, and avow an intention of following those leanings as far as as they can, are dangerous people, and all the more dangerous if they show signs of being also slippery; but what if the members of the other only practicable Go vernment have their leanings also, their schemes to be realised as possible, their dangerous points? Are Rus sell, Graham, and Cobden necessarily safe because Derby, Disraeli, and Pakington are unsafe, and Kelly al together contemptible? Of the two sides, we feel far surer that D er by an d Di s raeli will follow all their elan gerous professi ons th an th a tCobden will ever swallow his. When a stran ger w hi spers in the ear of the countryman, "Don' t t rust that fellow, he is a rogue , l'll show you how to take ca re o f your money, " t he countrymen, if he has a parti c l e o f common sense, w ill not infer that, because one stranger may be a rogue, the other must be honest. But in this instance electors are asked to do this, for if they reject one they cann ot escape the other. Nor is the dange r diminished when, if they reject one chief, they will be driven into the toils of a confederacy con sisting of three chiefs, who never have acted well toge ther, and who, most probably, never will. Without in tending it, and misled by the temptation to express him self clearly and forcibly, Sir James Graham has not al together escaped a degree of unfairness, even to misre presentation. Nay, he has defeated his own purpose by some virtual ineesseleielveiellik i kklaitrseribetrthe list shs do ,y of protection seeming to vanish in the smoke of a Militia Bill. Does he believe this to be an actual re treat, or only a feigned one? As it is, he claims for his argument the benefit o f b oth alternatives. He ca ll s t h e official Chancellor h o m o of homage e psid t o Exchequer' stru t h,,, financialand pronounces"st atementtt an budget for the cur ren t year an adoption of Peel's policy. Is Mr. Disraeli to have credit for this, or is he not to have credit? If , as seems the truest solution, that homage to truth was inevitable, it fol lows, what we thoroughly believe thepresent ve that Mi nistry cannot help themselves, inevitable and the sum© necessity will dictate all their ln order Sir James Graham says, " future budgets. to manufacture an additional point against the Ministry, Sir Robert Robert Peel's financial Policy is the r of indirect reduction . . , . 13 taxation, and the substitution of direct taxation, waist moderate limits?' He omits toexplainthat one of these moderate limits was a short term an im otant branch of Sir stitution was only desieeedand that - to be temporary, when the present Ministry • came in the tax in its present form had been already condemned.

In thus drawing particular notice to their contents we secure for their author, Sir Harry Smith, that mead of gratitude and admiration which.duty to the B r i t i s h soldier or sailor—having performed his the best of his ability—never fails, under any circumstances, to obtain from the English people. When, however, the public remembers the insult and the injury attempted to be put on an old and most distinguished officer, by a late Colo nial Secretary, these dispatches will be read with a more heartfelt and thrilling interest. Sir Harry s m i th, sup. posing Earl Grey to bo still in office, with dignified calmness acknowledges the receipt of tho order for his recall without murmur or complaint; but at the same time intimates that the sense of duty which had hitherto guided him would induce him f to persevere in the pre or the expulsion of the rebel pre parstory steps he had taken e _sumo.This .

Earl Grey. affair with That document announces a smart the enemy, in which the 91st Regiment greatly distinguished itself, and in,which 100 head of ca. tle and 40 horses were captured. Important successes have also been gained against the enemy at the Fish River Bush by de tachments of the Artillery and of the 12th and 91st Re giment; and still more remarkable successes in that part of the range called Fuller's Hoek, a very extensive and densely-wooded locality, where " Macomo'a den," deemed to be almost inaccessible, was situated in a deep kloof. This " den," one of the strongholds of the enemy, has been carried; many prisoners have been taken, among others 130 women, among ie hom are Afacomo'a young and favourite wife, and his " great wife," Tambookie, much regarded among the tribe. Between the 10th and the 13th of March Coloneli Pole, Michel, and Eyre captured near 700 head of cattle and 150 horses. The flying enemy were on every side intercepted, and the difficult and heretofore well maintained positions of the I&ottentots and Kafirs— mamely, the Water Klee; Blink water, and Fuller's Hoek, are now completely cleared. Not content with these successes, Sir Harry Smith has directed Colonels Michel and Eyre to move, with five days' provisions, on the Chumie range of the Amatolas, for the purpose of dislodging the tribe of Tyalie, and the rebel Hottentots, and then penetrating into the heart of the mountains. Sir Harry Smith had been sneered at by some of the Whig officials and writers as using hyperbolical lan guage iu reference to these campaigns, and in giving lavish praise to the officers under his command. Ag4inet both charges he defends himself in his'dispatch very suc cessfully.- With all the experience of a gallant and dis tinguished veteran, Sir Harry remarks that troops acting in the open field expect not the stimulus of praise. But the war at the Cape is not a regular warfare in the open field, but a desultory and most harassing struggle against a sanguinary and most treacherous enemy. The troops have to ascend mountains—to penetrate dense and tangled ravines—to defeat the stealthiest stratagems, and to endure all the miseries of savage life, in addition to the labours of a campaign. In such diffi cult circumstances a general would exhibit not merely .unfitness as a commander but ggrose ignorance of human nature, Who - faired frlitrtt'n highest encomiums. No man is less addicted to hyperbole than the Duke of Wellington. The calmness and impassi bility of his character—not to say the correctness of his taste and the reserve of his nature, revolt from all exag geration, yet no great commander of our day, excepting Napoleon, has ever praised the soldiers serving under him more generously or more sincerely than the Duke himself. In following so great an example—whatever Earl Grey may, say to the contrary—Sir Harry Smith cannot err. In a very short time it is probable we may again see the veteran ou English ground, where he will receive a generous and candid appreciation from a Colo nial Minister more just and temperate than his predeces sor—and a cordial and respectful welcome from a people who never sanction or support injustice. POST.—With characteristic force and clearness the highest military authority in the world answered some time since, from his place in the House of Lords, the opinion which had been published on the career of Sir Harry Smith at the Cape, and the condemnation which had been conveyed to him by an official authority, then high and unchecked in po wer, though, unhappily, strangely deficient in fair spirit and judgment. Lord Grey, visiting on the Commander of the Forces the series of disappointments, the long-delayed success, and protracted war, for which the weak and short sighted policy of the Colonial-office was in truth mainly respon sible, wrote to recal Sir Harry Smith from his post, in terms of harshness and injustice which we should hesi tate to repeat, except for the purpose of calling attention to the facts which have since reversed that sentence, by a contradiction as strong and explicit as that conveyed in the words of the great Duke. The dispatch to which we refer, and which called forth the observations of the Duke of Wellington, atter detailing some of the diffi culties against which Sir Harry Smith had been forced to contend with most inadequate means, proceeded to in from him, in words which nothing short of failure the most utter and inexcusable aould have justified, that " upon a careful review of the events of the war, and those which preceded its breaking out, there was evi dence which it was impossible longer to resist, that he had failed in showing that foresight, energy, and judg ment which his very difficult position required." This happily worded and charpteristio communication went on vary consistently to communicate to Sir Harry Smith his dismissal from bis post, and to explain to him how entirely " a careful review" had satisfied Lord Grey that all others had done well while their comununder had failed miserably. Such a sentence on a commander charged with the interest and honour of his countoy as that which we have quoted, if just and true, would and ought to be ruinous to bis reputation, and in the case of an officer who bad served before with such gallantry and success as Sir Harry Smith, we should, if the evidence had justified the punishment, have left the painful subject with sorrow and in silence, so soon as we had done our duty to the public by its communication. But, if the sentence be ill-founded, if the punish ment be unjust, we have another duty to perform. The judge and the accused must change places. Something worse than want of foresight, something more serious than deficiency in judgment must, we think, be charged against the author of the dispatch of the 14th of January, answered, as it has been, first by the Duke of Wellington, then by successive - mails bringiee-eaets in full justification of his high opinion , and now: b y him to whom it was addressed, in the manly and soldier - like e ,, p l u t b i l s is b h u t t ioudsatyie.e toT hseirDHoakreryssamidi,tiht statement wl be rec w ol h le i c ch ted w , to say, that 1, who am his commanding officer, entirely approve of all his operations—entirely approve of all the orders he has given to his troops, and of the arrange ments he made fir their success." Thia was the first answer to Lord Grey's harsh, offensive, and unqualified censure. The next was brought, if we mistake not, by the first inward mail after the &par:ore of that which took oat the Colonial Secretary's complaint and sentence, on the charge that" no advantage of any real importanee had been gained over the enemy." It was to the effect that this enemy, over whom no advantage bad been gained, had sued for peace, and had been driven, with scarcely a show of resistance, from all but his very strongest holds. We hear since that the most important of these also have been cleared at the sword's point, and that the enemy has fled in all directions, leaving the wives and effects of the formidable chief Macomo in our hands. The mountain range of the Water Kloof, supposed by the Kafirs to be inaccessible, has thus boen completely cleared; so have other formidable strongholds; and when Sir Harry's last dispatch was written, the army from whose command he had been so nojustifiebly displaced, victorious at all points, under his orders, was about to proceed to assail every part of the discomfited enemy's country. These facts were published he a some what different form several days since; but in Sir Harry Smith's dispatch of the 17th March, now before us, they are concentrated into a clear and continuous narrative as an answer, and it is the best, the most manly, and most soldier-like answer that could have been given to Lord Grey's offensive and unmerited letter of reproach and dismissal. The folio ming simple and straightforward lines contain the only notice which the object of such misplaced harshness condescends to take of his recal, conveyed as it was in terms which would have been cruel if well founded, and, as it is, were some ,hing worse:— p t b, Government vi honour n e k r n w m a t e e n r tt , o M hr e a ao r de c i h dv eel deemed on e l dt B h s ei 2 t . las: me" that a y t L h o e r r d instant, at King William's Town, your Lordship's dis patch, No. 732, of the 15th January last, intimating to unavoidable duty to relieve me from my present position; that my Sovereign had approved of the measure, and that my successor was immediately to leave England. At that period, however, such were the prospects of this war, and so rapid the progression towards the ' state of things which can alone perpetuate peace (best shown by the proclamation issued by me on the 6th of February, and again inclosed), that a sense of the duty which has guided me in the service of my Sovereign and country for so many years induced •me to persevere in the pre paratory steps I had taken for the expulsion from certain strongholds within the colony of the rebel Gaikas and Hottentots, under the wily Chief Macomo, a renegade from the au thority of his paramount Chief Sandilli; as also for ex pelling the Gaika tribes from British Kafraria, and driving them over the Great Kei. My intention was communicated to your Lordship in my dispatch of the 16th ult." Sir Harry Smith was right in thus briefly acknowledg ing a dispatch which, had his case been less strong, the natural tendency of than to self-defence might have led him to discuss and deny, paragraph by paragraph, charge by charge. There was no need for this. The narrative of what has been done, of the condition in which he leaves the war which he was accused of having grievously mismanaged, forms the best vindication of the general, disproves most strongly the allegations against the well-won honours of a long and brave career in his country's service, and places the veteran suldier once more before the public as one who deserved all honour where the rash bitterness of a petulant and unjust judge had dealt out to him disgrace and condemnation. We are glad to have it in our power to give, by every means within our reach, our testimony to the repa ration which Sir Harry Smith so fully deserves. But we hope that in higher quarters the necessity of that reparation may be both felt and shown. It would be too much perhaps to expect candour and justice from the late Colonial Secretary. but it may be that some lather Noble Lord, or some indepeudent Mem ber of the Lower House, may see fit to draw the atten. lion of Parliament to the injustice shown to a gallant and deserving officer, and to the vindication of his cha racter audipolicy, which the course of events has brought. There is one more passage which we may quote from Sir Harry Smith's letter; it is used by him with re ference, not to his own case, bat to that of the gallant men under his orders; still it applies no less to th e commander than the soldiers which he led. Speaking of the right which the troops had earned to his p ra i se and approval, Sir Harry Smith says of the solditr at the Cape, and we may say it of Sir Harry Smith him self, and of every man who serves his country i n t h e highest or the most humble post—" He does his duty ; but human nature renders even the soldier's intrepid i heart sensible of the approbation of his superior." That approbation Sir Harry Smith has already had from a far higher quarter than that which censured him. He Rill have it also from the country which he serves. DAILY NE virs.--A very grave violation of the stitutionat privileges of Parliament has con. been attempted by Ministers. It has been the understoodprivilege empted the House of Commons to refuse the suppli cs t m o i t nistry not to their mind; the Lord Chamberlain oa has turned the tables on the House of Commons —who, things considered, can scarcely look to find much all in the eyes of that Noble Lord and h. _ favour 15 Colleagues—and Majesty's, - - - ‘I ' badCan er7 ? ,4 [PRICE SD. refused supplies to them. A refreshment stand, placed for the use of Members in the centre hall of the Houses of Parliament, has been removed by order of the Lord Chamberlain. The matter wee warmly taken up by Mr. Alderman Humphery, who, like all aldermen, feels a natural horror at the idea of dining with the great duke his namesake. The representation made by Mr. Hues in - phery to hi s sympath i sing aud i ence was touc h i ng the extreme. Thirty CommitteeET—more than a hundred Members—had, by this arbitrary step of the Lerd Chem nerlein, beon condemned to the pso4e of inanition. The luckless wighte condemned to be drenched with all the aqueous evidence of the multitudinous Water Bill promoters could not get among them as much b rea d to all this intolerable quantity of water as Sir John Fa!- staff got to his qua nt ity o f sack. Remonstrance was un availing. Members were allowed to procure refresh ments till one o'clock on Monday, but after that hour the police were (Tiered to r emove the stand perempto rily. Tee irritation of sharp -set Members compelled to proceed to the business of the House with empty sto machs, after devoting them se l ves the whole forenoon to the appetisipg labours of Committees, was extreme. Mr. Roehuek, who was the fir s t t o cry out when M r . O wen . Stanley attempted to change the subject of conversation from provender to ammunition, interrupted Colonel Dunne's erudite description of the mode in which a Minis rifle is crammed with powder and ball, with wailings about the impossibility he found of getting himself crammed with less combustible materials. The interference of the Lord Chamberlain, to put the House of Commons upon short commons, is extremely ill-taken, even by the Protectionists. They contrasted the readiness of Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli to prevent the importation of corn into the country with their arbitrary prohibition of the importa .tton of buns, cakes, and oranges into the Houses of Par liament. Perhaps Minister, meant to teach these gen tlemen feelingly the disconiTort which must accrue trom any prohibition to import food; but they ought to have mode allowance for the indignation likely to be excite d in the Hoes of Commons at seeing itself treated as a corpus vile upon which to make experiments. The Chancellor of the Exchequer did his best to soothe the Members of the House of Commons—clamouring tor " refreshments supplied at a price so moderate," as the Roman mob in Coriolanus clamour " for corn at their own rates"—and his modest request for a delay of a few hours was granted to him to try to make some ar rangement to satisfy the stomachs of Members. It i s understood, however, that if any undue delay occur, a deputation is to be sent to Lord Derby, headed by Lord Seymour, whose experience in the case of Ann Hicks will enable him to plead the case of the refreshment stall-keeper of the central hall with great effect.
