FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1637. There is no subject which at the present moment "gages the attention of reflecting persons so much as the Ballot. The bribery, the intimidation, the cor gt i nfluence: of all sorts w hi c h were resorte d to so erally by th e H anover i an f act i on at t h e l ate e l ec . ti er), have impressed upon the tnind of every man w ho thinks about political matters, the necessity of a t T ny iding some remedy for an evil whi c h, if no t reme died will soon render our electoral system much !ors* than it was before the passing of the Re lortb Bill,4tr It will scarcely be d en i e d, even by th e i i n ngiat opp onent o f t h e B a ll ot, t h at every man who 43 a vote t o g i ve i s presume d , according to the Con adtititiON, t o b e i n all respects fit for discharging that ut Y . No one can be so absurd as to insist that the Privilege of voting is conferred on men merely that hs e y may be made the instruments or tools of other e n) without exercising any will or discretion of their w n.. The perfect freedom of the voter is not only implied,, but is essentially and absolutely necessary made nit; voting constitutionally. It ought in fact to be permitted part of the qualification. No elector should be viermitted to give a vote, who cannot take an oath Kist he gives it according to the unbiassed dictates of fi ve. own conscience, and not from any personal mo :`:e. We verily believe that such an oath would have s kd thousands, and tens of thousands, of honest p en fr om th e m i serable degradation to which they have v a,lely been su bj ected of violating their political con ,ll7etions at the mande.te of an i m p er i ous l an dl or d. A ory ari stocrat thinks himself at liberty to claim the di s vote of his t enant un d er the penalty of h i s hi g h oatpiii easur e ; but h e wou ld h ar dl y venture to c l a i m hi s th ---to insert a claus e i n th e l ease bi n di ng hi m t o commission_ of perjury when expedient. th t here i s , h owever, only one sovereign remedy for e evil, and that is the BALLOT. Secret voting is th e f reedom. It fulfils the conditions required by it e Consti tut i on ; and therefore our conclusion is that attended with i ntent evils g rea t er th an t h ose w hi c h it i s at d'ed to redr ess .

Consols for Account of the Refor:n boly, for the expfess pilipose of orga nising a Reform Itelislty Association, for the protec tion of the Libetal voters of the Chelsea, Fulham, And Brompton districts : and likewise with a view of 1 recommending the formation of such Iteform So cieties throughout tht Kingdom. Mr. WAR . BURTON t hi his speech, informed the company that a Conservative Registration Society trial Ml' two years superintended the Regittly in Middlesex, the con : sequence of which was, that the Tories had at last secured the return of one of their own faction ler the county—though it was notorious, that had the Libe rals done their duty, Mt. Hum E would have been at the head of the poll. Mr. WARBURTON recom mended the formation of Local Associations all over the country, to watch over the local business of the Reformers, and to furnish all necessary information to a Central Association, established in the metropolis. This recommendation was ably supported by Mr. H trmE, who stated that the Reform cause had suffered more from the inertness of its friends than from any indication of strength on the part of its enemies. There was no reaction with regard to Reform throughout the country. Public opinion was as decidedly in favour of Reform now as it ever was—in fact, it was more so ; but, unfortunately, many Reformers had got it into their heads, that having carried the Reform Bill, they had nothing more to do but sit down quietly and reap the fruits of their patriotism. This was an error of the dangerous nature of which they be gan now to be fully persuaded. The Reform Bill was but the means to an end—the lever by means of which the country might raise itself out of the slough of Toryism. He was for Household Suffrage. In this he was guilty of no extravagance, because Ministers were now known to have at one time meditated the making such suffraffe the basis of the Reform Act. Mr. HUME next adverted to the position of Ministers, and declared unequivocally, that though his support of them in the last Session of Parliament had injured him in the opinion of the Ultra-Radicals, who thought that Ministers did not go far enough, yet so convinced was he of the danger to the country of opposing them at a crisis like the present, that he would continue to vote with them while there was a certainty of their being succeeded in office by the Tories. Mr. HAWES admitted the necessity of keeping the present Cabinet, or one equally liberal, in office ; but he contended that Ministers ought to have taken a more decided course, and above all have supported the Ballot. He, howe ver, agreed in opinion with Mr. HUME and Mr. WAR BURTON, that were the Reformers to attend to the working of the Reform Bill, in the zealous and manly spirit in which they carried it, they might make it the instrument of wresting from the Legislature whatever measures they might deem necessary to their general good government. This, we believe, to be the opinion of every man who has taken the trouble to think seriously upon the subject. The Re form Bill is an engine which, if rightly managed, would of itself soon storm and bear clown all opposition in the House of Lords. It is not without defects, we admit ; but for such defects, it is itself the precedent for 'a simple and most efficacious remedy. Guided by the united intelligence of the people, it opposes to all abuses in the Government a power perfectly irre sistible. Ministers have been much to blame, but it is absurd to waste our energies now in abusing them. With all their faults, he must be an idiot, or a wolf in sheep's clothing, who does not prefer them a thousand times to the truculent, peculating, bigoted Tories. If they have not advanced as far as we could have wished them, they have certainly not retrograded, as their frequent colli sions with the House of Lords are sufficient to testify. Let the Reformers display a little more activity, and they will find Ministers—profiting by experience— prepared to make amends for their past inactivity. Those who blame them most are those who really know the least about the difficulties against which they had to contend. •It need no longer be con cealed that the last days of the late Sov E REIGN were spent in endeavours to leave the country the legacy of a Tory Cabinet. They were therefore crippled at every step by the decided hostility of the Court. They are not now thwarted in that quarter ; and therefore the Reformers may antici pate a very different line of Ministerial conduct, pro vided the Liberals generally honestly, zealously, and stedfastly support them. The severe contest which has been going on for some days at Maldon, in Esscx, about a Church-rate, has, we are happy to state, terminated in the defeat of the Parson-party. At the close of the Poll the num bers were— For the Kate Against it 167 170 The majority is small, but nevertheless it is suffi cient to show with what spirit the Church-rate agita tion is carried on even in the priest-ridden county of Essex. Madrid Journals to the 6th instant have been re ceived. The new War Minister, San IVIIGuEL, ha published a Report addressed to the Cortes, in which he states that the. Spanish effective army does not exceed 85,000 men, exclusive of the sick and wounded. The army was rated at 190,000 men ; but it required 100,000 to perform garrison duty, and there were more than 5,000 on the sick, retired, and commis sariat list. He therefore proposed at the Sitting of the Cortes on the sth that a levy of 50,000 men should be decreed. The new Minister of .Finance was likewise busy preparing a Report, in which it was expected that he would give a most gloomy pic ture of the pecuniary resources of the nation. The tranquillity of Madrid was undisturbed. The Cortes continued to discuss the provisions of the Church Re form Bill, which they hoped to carry before the com• mencement of the new elections. The Paris Papers of Wednesday hare all been re ceived. On the evening of that day advices had reached the French capital, stating that on the night of the sth, the Christina Chief BARCA, at the head of a division, had unexpectedly surprised VBRASTEGUI, the President of the rebel Junta of Alava, SIERRA, the Chief of URA NGA'S staff, and about thirty other Carlist officers of high rank, whom he conveyed pri soners to Logrono. It appears that he had received intelligence that they were to meet to deliberate on a plan of operations near Vittoria, and that he selected a band of resolute fellows, by whom they were all made prisoners before either of them was aware of the pre sence of an enemy. The Moniteur of Wednesday has the following te legraphic dispatch from Spain : NARBONNE, SEPT. 12, 5 O'CLOCK, A.M. -- Baron de Meer has marched on Igualada. On the 4th he proclaimed martial law in the four provinces of Catalonia. The mili tary commanders are empowered to shoot within twenty four hours all persons detected in the act of exciting- disor der and sedition. They are besides authorized to levy con tributions, and recur to every means in order to provide for the wants of the army. The provincial authorities, presided by Brigadier Puig decreed, at Barcelona on the Bth, that an entire year of the commercial subsidy should be paid in the course of 48 hours. This tax amounts, for the province of Barcelona, to a sum of 5,000,000 reals (50,0000 The Sentinelle des Pyrennees, of the 9th instant, has the following advices from the Peninsula : On the 4th instant, General Uranga left Legaria with four Navarrese battalions, one of Alava, and four guns, taking the direction of Lodosa. It is the new expedition which is marching, it is supposed, to join Zareategui. Gen. Jaureguy has tendered his resignation. It appears it has been accepted. He has repaired to Fuentarabia. " According to the last advices Gen. Espartero moved to tti,E SIT IN - ; IioN.DON, PO okt, siEPTl.AiviiWii lb, 18:37 Calahocha on the 2d, with Gen. Oraa and the two non divisions under their command. Don Carlos, who was the day before at that place, left it on the approach of the Chr,tino troops. 171, e entered, Montr+2,el and erdtes at tilt ort±.ett *hen the Christino Generals entered Calahocha. General Bucrens arrived on the 2d, at noon, at Daroca, which he left on the 3d, to join Espartere And Oraa. A battle must soon take plOce; linleg; the Conirnander-in- ChiY!f continue to observe the Pretender." The closing observation manifests a sufficiently marked distrust of the loyalty of ESPA RTRRO. Letters fro in San Sebastian of the Oth announce the success of Brigadier O'DoNNELL's attack upon the Carlist garrisons of Urnieta and Andoain. The rebels fled at the approach of the Christinos ; but it was ex pected that they would make a stout resistance at To losa. In consequence of the firing on both sides nearly forty houses in the village of Andoain were burned down. GARCIA'S expedition, which crossed the Ebro on the Ist, was attacked and beaten by two Christitio battalions commanded by General CORON DELET. The rebels fled precipitately back to Navarre. There is no domestic news of any interest in the journals of Wednesday. The following are extracts:— " The new loan in contemplation of the Austrian Go vernment will probably be contracted about the end of the year, and is appropriated to the payment of the old loans raised by lotteries. The new loan, therefore, will not in crease the public debt, nor will it in any manner affect public credit. This is proved by the present rate of ex change, and leads to a presumption that the Government will be able to make an advantageous bargain. In the meantime the immediate wants of the Treasury are sup plied by the issuing of bills for 6,000,000 florins on account of the intended loan, which are negotiated on 'Change at 31 or 4 per cent, by the bankers who have undertaken to raise the loan."—Augsburg Gazette. The Journal de &write of the 19th inst. contains in telligence of the 7th of August, from Alexandria :—" Con- jectures of all kinds continued to be made in that place concerning the probable object of the voyage of Mehemet Ali to Candia. The most likely rumour was, that the restoration of his finances by new regulations in that island had taken the Viceroy away from Egypt. A frigate, with 1,800 men on board, had just sailed to join him. Exac tions of every kind, according to the Journal de Sm.yrne, were then going on in, Egypt, and some new orders were being enforced with the most rigorous severity. Up to this time certain imposts had been paid by the Fellalis only after the harvest, but they are now compelled to pay them before they have had the opportunity of disposing of their crops, and are therefore in a state of the greatest destitu tion. Not only are their agricultural implements seized on, but their crops yet standing are taken possession of by the Viceroy's officers, and sold by public auction. These exac tions have forced them to fly to the desert in great numbers ; and the aged, who have been obliged to remain behind, have afterwards been punished with the bastinado, for not hav ing opposed the departure of their children, who were dying from hunger. In the Delta, the richest agricul tural province of Egypt, the inhabitants last year were forced to make use of linseed for bread, thereby occa sioning much sickness and mortality ; but this year the linseed is subjected to a tax, and the price of corn has just risen to double what it would be in a time of famine. Such a state of things is described as being intolerable, and one which must sooner or later prove the ruin of the country. It appears that it is not the Arabs or the native population alone upon whom the persecution of the Government falls; but that very little regard is paid to the European residents or their Consuls. At the beginning of July the sanatory Committee of Beyrout, formed by the Consuls of the dif• ferent European natives, dissolved itself in consequence of same changes attempted to be introduced among them by Scheriff Pasha, Governor of Syria. Since that time they have been looked upon with an evil eye by the latter, and the Alexandrian Consuls have been unable to obtain any redress for their colleagues from Ibrahim Pasha, to whom they applied before he went to Syria. Quite recently, on the failure of the mercantile house of Lumbrose, Mehemet Ali sequestrated 40,000 talari of goods belonging to that firm, as a guarantee for 3,000 talari that had been placed in their hands by the son of the ex-Dey of Algiers, and thereby occasioned much loss to the various creditors of the house. No notice had been taken of the remonstrances made on this occasion, and the patience of the European Consuls was greatly wonder at." The same journal also says :—" Smyrna is at length restored to animation ; the quarantine is taken off, and clean bills of health are granted. On Wednesday last, to celebrate the termination of our late public calamities, the Catholic inhabitants went in crowds to the Church of the Capuchins, where the service for the feast of St. Roch was performed with great solem nity and splendour. We have just received, by the Aus trian schooner Elisabella, accounts from Salonica to the 9th inst., when the plague was beginning to subside. There were few cases among the Europeans or Greeks, only about 26 or 28 among the Jews, and somewhat more among the Turks. The Elisebella did not fall in with any pirates in the Bay of Salonica, or on the coast of Troy, although the captain made the most .minute search for them, and stopped and examined every vessel that appeared to be in the least degree suspicious." According to a letter of the 2d inst. from Vienna, the inundations in Wallachia, caused by a continued fall of rain for six weeks, have been most disastrous. Not only has the vegetation been totally destroyed, but several hundreds of human beings have lost their lives. The legitimist journals announce to-day that the Carlists have made themselves masters of Ceneziro, a village on the right bank of the Ebro, between Haro and Logrono. The following is the account given in the Sentinelle des Pyrenees of the 9th inst. - The political cllief — Of Logrono writes on the lit, that five battalions of the factious passed the Ebro near Ceneziro, where they carried off thirty cows ; but being attacked by two battalions of the division of General Caundelets, they repassed the river in disorder, and took the road to Peuscerada. The National Guards of Fuenmavor received them with a volley of musquctry. The division of Caundelets is between Haro and Ceneziro. It is said that this division is proceeding to Penacerada, to recover that place from the Carlists. The last accounts from the Caucasus say that the whole coast of the Black Sea is in the complete possession of Russia, which has succeeded in closely blockading the coasts, and rendering it extremely difficult to have any kind of communication by sea with the neighbouring countries. Accordingly, nothing is known of the English emissaries who had gone to that country, in order to stimulate a new explanation of the nature of that which followed the former affair of the Vixen. This attempt will have no more deci sive results than those which have preceded it. The Cabinet of St. James's has clearly proved that it had renounced the idea of exercising the smallest influence in the Black Sea. Hence really little notice has been taken of a new attempt which has just been made, by another Englishman, to get into Circassia, by disregarding the blockade.—Le Commerce.

In the latter Market it is settling-day in the Foreign Securities, which up to the present time is going off well—there being no heavy accounts to adjust, and the extreme fluctuations are not of a great extent. In the British Funds scarcely a bargain has been done during the morning. Consols may be quoted 92 sellers for the Account ; Money 914 ; Exchequer Bills lower, 48 prem. ; India Bonds 51 54 prem.

Hollond, Esq., M.P., a dinner on Tuesday week. It took place•at the South Saxon Hotel. It was a splendid affair, and what added in no small degree to its interest, was the fact of its having been got up by the spontaneous feeling of the electors of that division. The Hon. Mrs. Norton has taken a house in New Norfolk -street, Park-lane. ACCIDENT TO THE " EAGLE" CORK RIVER STEAMER.—On Sunday morning, the 10th inst., about an hour befo re th e E ag l e i n t en d e d to have left Merchants' Quay for Cove, and providentially before any passengers had gone on board, a serious accident took place. There was a bad part at the bottom of the boiler for a consider able time, which took a dreadful effect on the above morn ing. While the fireman was at work at the fires the water burst out with great violence, rushed under the boiler, and went on the legs of the poor man, as well as on the legs of the second fireman, who were dreadfully scalded, and were obliged to be removed instanter to the South Infirmary ; when the water ran off the flue, the shell of the boiler got heated, and the timbers of the deck ignited, part of which was immediately ripped up, and water thrown down, which prevented any further damage. It is gratifying to learn that, with the exception of the two firemen, no personal in jury has attended this accident. The timber beams are now about being replaced by iron, which will prevent the possibility of any recurrence of such a calamity. The engine of the Scottish Union, under the charge of the active agents, Messrs. Harris, was on the spot in a few mi nutes, and completely succeeded in putting down the fire. . . _ The Gorgon, steam-frigate, was launched at Pem broke on the 31st ult., and was taken into dock next morn- ing to be coppered and masted, after which she will go to Sheerness, and be fitted with her machinery at Woolwich. She is the largest steam-vessel belonging to the Navy, and will be of about 250 horse power ; the most powerful steamers at present are four of 220. Some of her dimen sions are as follow :—Upwards of 1,100 tons burthen, 200 feet long upon deck, and 37 feet in breadth. She was named by the lady of the Captain Superintendent Comby, and went off the stocks in fine style. She is pierced for 16 guns ; 14 of 32-pounders, and two of 10-inch bore, one fore and the other aft, to work on a pivot, and fire shells occa sionally. Her cabin is of mahogany and cedar-wood, taken from the Gibraltar, an old Spanish 80, built at Havana, which was employed for many years as a lazarette on the station.— United Service Gazette.

Yesterday morning a dreadful accident occurred in the Strand to a gentleman named Brown, who was knocked down by the Taunton coach, and the horses trampled on him. He was removed to the hospital in a dangerous state. ADMIRERS OF THE OLD WATCHMEN.—The old watchmen, I repeat, had their admirers. The little sweeps—those " starvelings in a scanty vest" rising be fore the day, as they went chittcring along the silent streets in a black, murky morning —loved to hear their reverend voices—quavering with cold, and age, and the excess which only kept them up in the unnatural conflict with nature—sleep, rest, and nursing their infirmities. Those tender younglings, having their share of vulgar superstitions, as well as their betters, dreaded the silence of the darkness, but felt assured of their poor safety when as they beard the old familiar quail pipe of some grey Nestor of the night dwelling with an elaborate delight and drowsy charm' upon Past six o'clock, and a cloudy morning !' an hour dear to him in winter, for it dismissed him to his bed.—New Monthly lltagazinc for September.

(TmsDA/.) We have Mails in this morning torn France, Lisbon. Holland, and Mexico, the contents of ..vhieli, as f:r as the:, relate to merchandise, are given below : The letters in town this morning from our manufacturing districts advi se that the staple trade there is generally brisk. and that the oper a titte are .411 in full work. Other btFi nesses are also reviving there along crith the staple trade. Advice!! from Belfast to the 13th inst., received this day, ad vise us that tnere is a great briskness in the provision market, and that prices were advancing. The vessels arrived in the port of London to-day convey chiefly West Indian and Northern produce. But very little from other parts of the Continent, except the North, and no thing of moment in from the East, except Tea. There arc about 3,000 hogsheads of British Plantation Sugar, and about 900 puncheons of Rum, and 5,500 chests of Tea, fresh added to our previous stock. Of Coffee very little indeed. The stock of that primary commodity, British Plantation Sugar, is considerably smaller than it was at this time last year ; but at that period all the Sugar had arrived, whereas now there arc a considerable number of vessels yet to arrive. . On 'Change there is considerable inquiry after Spices by spe culators, who are the chief buyers; and although prices are advancing they determine to hold for prices much higher. There is more doing in Pepper than in any other Spice. SPELTER is now down to 131. 10s. per ton. SUGAR.—AII kinds of raw Sugar are quiet, but firm at the recent advance. COFFEE is very languid, but there is no variation in prices. Low middling, and middling Jamaica fetch as high as 10-1%. TZA.—The free-trade sale of the merchants advances with spirit, and the advances on the prices of the Company's late sale which was secured yesterday, has been maintained to day. Towards the close of this day's sale there was not so much spirit. INDIGO.-There is rather less doing in the market, but prices remain firm. Wool- —The sales, chiefly of Colonial descriptions, pro ceed with briskness, and are well attended. Prices are now 10 per cent. higher than those of the last sale, which is raore than Id. to 2d. per lb. advance. OlL.—Southern Oil has declined 30s. per ton; and gene rally speaking the Fish Oil market is not so firm in price as it was. Olive Oil has advanced 31. to 41. per ton. Galipoli, 56/. TALLovv.—Prime Yellow Candle to-day is 40s. 6d. per cwt. There was but very littlo Colonial Produce advertized for sale to-day. Hors.—There is nothin g fresh in the market, either as to business or prices. The duty has risen to 200,0001. GRAlN.—Business to-day very languid in all descriptions, and prices for all sorts much the same as those of Wednesday. Oats were a little dearer. In Flour no variation. Grain under lock destitute of business., FOREIGN COMMERCIAL. The commercial intelligences received this morning from the Continent are abundant, and they bring also interesting news from the West Indies and other parts of the globe. The hurricane lately reported to have spread devastation at Barbadocs and the Leeward Islands has not been confined only to these parts ; the account received to-day from France state that it had been felt very severely at Martinique, and principally at the port of Saint Pierre ; there great damage has been done, as well to the Sugar plantations as to the shipping in the roads ; several vessels busy in loading and unloading have suf fered more or less injury; one ship, the Le Blayais, just ar rived from Bordeaux, was totally lost with the whole of the cargo. The crop of Sugar is expected to be very short, and to have suffered from want of rain. The arrival of ships for freight were plentiful, but most of them, after waiting in vain, had gone off to Port-au-Prince and other Haytian ports. Sugar was sold at 28s. to 28s. per 50 kilogrammes, or about 225. to 245. per cwt. free on board. Provisions in conse quence of the heavy arrivals were depressed, and the stock of Flour only in St. Pierre was estimated at 12,000 barrels, amongst which number a great quantity was from Hamburgh ; large parcels were said to be exported to the English colonies there ; the Flour from Havre was sought after, and good prices paid. We have recent accounts from St. Domingo, but their contents are very unfavourable ; trade was exceedingly dull, and the agriculture of this once so flourishing and .valuable colony constantly going backward, and the derangement in the monetary system growing every day worse; the piastre (la gourde) of scarcely any value, through the constant tam pering with its alloy ' • doubloons were sought after, but very difficult to procure. The crop of Coffee being not very pro mising, and vessels for Europe more than wanted, caused the merchants to demand rather exorbitant rates. At Havre the sales or Cotton continue, and during the two last days nearly 1,800 bars had been sold, chiefly New Or leans, at firm prices, but without any further rise. A large sale of Manilla Coffee had been offected, the parcel consisting of 2,500 bags, at If. 20e., duty pail, being full former prices. The late advanced rates receiveti from New York for Potash had given rise to some transactioNi in this commodity, at rather better prices. We have acc,runts from Alexandria of the 17th of August. At auction 4,310 bales Jamel Cotton had been gold at 101 to 10i piastres, and it was said they were taken for English accounts. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, SEPT. 14.—Wind W. N.
