kaitlT Oil' THE PUBLIC JOURINALS. The Carlisle Jounial of Saturday last states that . r pwards of 2,200 signat ures h ave b een o bt a ined, i n .he short space of six d a y s , to the requisition in favour ,ef Mr. James and Major liglionby. In a supplstneet lecarly all the names arc printed. Sir James (i-ral)7.m Izas published a thi r d a dd res s to the electo rs o f t h e ' Eastern division o f C um berland., dated N e th er by, J u l y 6th. In this address he says, "in the course of a short canvass I have ascertained that this Vaunted — cquisition beats the names of some men who died several months ago ; of others who, though liviog, ''never saw it or senetioned it ; of others who, not being : , en the register, cannot vote ; and of a large number, :mounting, as I believe, to one -h a lf o f t h e whole, who i'igncd uo - der the firm impression that they promised to 0 :support Major Agliotrby alone, without the least ' knowledge of the plesigc in favour of Mr. James ;" - and he threatens, its conclusion, that he will go to the .. poll. The C7rissie Jou rna l, i n comment i ng on t h e 4 lbove assertion s of Sir James, says— el " ci);,at sonic have signed the requisition who are not ' - .pen the register, is, we believe, true, and can h e easily srtexplained. Men who are possessed of ample freeholds, chich th e y k new f ormerly entitled them to vote, are not i easily persu a d e d t h at they have now no vote unless pre `'. viou s iy reg i stere d . A few such, we believe, j signed the re f - quisition, an d as i t was no easy matter, on the spur of the .Amoment, t o t race through tlie46oo names in that mass of eonfusion ca ll e d a R eg i ster, they error was not discovered re f suntil too late to be rectified. But what do they amount reo ? D are Sir JA.THCA venture to name the number so cir - semstanced? No ; for it would too plainly exhibit the Teakness of the reed on which he relies to save him from drown. The number is, in truth, so inconsiderable, that t e even Sir James would be ashamed to name it as a ground •.,, for invali elating the importance of the reqnisition." 111, his last address Sir James attacks the political .pinions of Mr. James; and as Major Aglionby's po- Olitical principles have never, he says, been made known with respect to the great questions now at issue, he .casks whether he adopts the opinions of Mr. James. ~, Here, ag a i n , Si r J ames i s met b y t h e C ar li s l e '.' Jour na l : — • . With respect to Mr. James, he says, 'he his always '.' l ,' frankly avowed and still steadily maintains' the same ' ex ':- treme political opinions.' Mr. James, 'inen, has always ~.. been what Sir James Graham calls a revolutionist and elan •,,s. gerous man. Now, mark ; ia 1820, Mr. James (holding precisely the same opinions he now holds), was a candidate ' - for the representation of Carlisle. What did Sir James Graham then do ? Did he then oppose him as a dange sous man ? Not he, indeed ;on the contrary, he came post-hast e from London to support him—wrote in his fla vour, and spoke in his favour. In a letter dated Carlisle, e' March 21, an d pu bli c l y a dd resse d to t h e freemen of this --city, he says— > "' I can entertain no doubt of the result of the con : test, if, indeed, Sir P. Musgrave be so rash as to try the issue. Had no one been found ready to oppose him, I without a doubt would have come forward ; but possessing an independent scat in Parliament, and finding another gentleman (Mr. J ames ) a d vanced in successful canvass, I have resolved at once to give to Mr. James, AS THE TRUE BLUE CANDIDATE, my cordial support !' This is the un `' changed man !" We are assured by gentlemen connoted with Cum .- berland th at t h e li sts are substantially correct, and , . - i.> those who know Sir James Graham best have no ap prehension of his venturing to go to the poll. His ' - threat will end in talk. East Cumberland is in a state of the greatest excitement, and there can be no doubt that the people will do their duty in spite of - all the motley the Tories can offer.—Morn. Chron. It was one of the great causes of the first revolution in France that the ruling authorities had not discern ,: ment enough to perceive that with the progress of knowledge a power had arisen that would ultimately uproot every system of arbitrary Government—the . 1. .--,1. power of p u bli c op i n i on — a power which, though it has no seat at the Council-board, and takes no shape of recognizedjurisdiction, is, nevertheless, when events call it into action, omnipotent over all. Instead of yielding to this power when legitimately expressed, they thought to put it down as a spurious supremacy, incompatible with law and order, and the prelude to • anarchy and every sort of spoliation. They treated it •at first with a contemptuous disregard, but, in the meantime, prepared to repel with vigour every open manifestation of it. What was the result ? That state, which was imagined by those at the head of it to be all in all, was crushed in the combat it had unre • deetingly provoked. Had they been timely wise, they would have known that the arm of a Government is strong wiles' the beneficence of those who rule disposes , its subjects to a willing obedience, but that should that arm be raised against the people, and the giant '-- rises in his wrath, from that moment its strength is gone--the sceptre becomes a mockery, and the .• law a l aug hi ng - stoc k . We would recommend this - page of history to the perusal of the Tory aristocracy. They would do well to remember that the time is gone by when the interests of the whole can safely be sacrificed to the interests of the few : public men have now no real weight but what they derive from their :: personal character, talents, and services. The influ ence of wealth is, no doubt, considerable, but when • used illegitimately its operation is costly, and it can only work its way with the most selfish and degraded Hof the population. Tlic‘ more the principles of free edom and of political rights arc understood the higher r.' will their value he estimated, and the more will money, .as an instrument of bribery, lose its command. We most earnestly hope that the approaching gensral clec ltion will verify this truth. The Tories are et-catty en dis couragedss,l by the prospects before them, but this will only stimulate them to more intense exertion. They qvvill summon their forces from every quarter, and wig -,, put their whole machinery of intrigue in motion, Much of their outward dependence is gone ; they are thrown, consequently, more than ever noon their own mischievous t:lresources. The Sovereign cannot now lie surrounded by Oirresponsible counsellors. The ideas and feeling s of Il,'-:the youthful Queen are connected w ith th ose o f t h e 's age. The corporate bodies throughout th e ki ng d om I sl are, for the most part, of the Liberal school, and do :not, as during the ascendancy of Toryism, assume a Zstshostile attitude towards everything of an improving e 4., tendency in our political and public institutions. But, with all th ese a d vantages, t h e sp i r i t o f t h e popu l at i on ~, eimust not be suffered to flag. We are yet at a far dis- It:lnce from the promised land, and cannot afford to . loiter by the way. Great progress we have made, eer tainly, but we have had to fight our way ovar almost ~,• e' every inch of the ground we have gained. The Tory ,'.. faction have poured out the funds of corruption lavishly. Every Tory candidate, moreover, will have i . the aid and influence of " the Church" in every pos sible mode of manifestation. He will have the secret tisupport and canvass of Bishops, Priests, and Deacons n every quarter in which it can be made effective. nos 7ile as they ever have been to the spirit of Pecrty, their Ohostility is now more active than ever. They find the mass of the people becoming 'laity more intract- Oatite : not only do they think for themselves, but they cannot be made, as formerly, to suppress their Po' (minions. I ns t ea d o f a p ass i ve su b m i ss i on to " the i r spiritual p astors n: , d masters, " t h ey wou ld f a i n curtail ( 0 their i ncomes. They have grown di ssat i sf i ed with . hishopries of 20,000/.a year, and insist upon the abo iitiou of c h urc h- rates. These are 1106011 S not to be e - 1 endured, and they would not be endured for an hour f ecclesiastical authority could put them down. In the present ut state of p art i es there is no neural ground. Some there are who arc afraid of the unflinchinc , in . cention of Ministers in favour of Reform, but who arc • yet more afraid of the consequences that might attend . e an opposite course. Such persons call themselves mo- I''lerate iteforiners, and know not with safety which way :,a, to Vote. Ne Jupiter guide»; omnibus placet.

We tr u st t hi s c l ass of . . - s- voters will gather courage as the contest app roac h es , a - and that their integrity will carry them ultimately -• .o the right side. There is, however, another Blass of which we are more afraid—those who, --. chameeleonte mutabilior, having no fixed political prin ciples, are at the mercy either of Whi , or Tory. They ',sere, from sheer fickleness, in perpetual doubt which =' candidate they shall support. They remind us of the .. .._ description which Andrew Borde gives of his fellow , :ountrymen of the 16th century :-- a, "lam an Englishman, and naked I stand here, Musing in my mind what raiment I shall wear; ' l . For now I will wear this, and now I will wear that, And now I will wear—l cannot tell what." -41 : The Liberals must be at pains to enlist these hesi -1 :ators into their ranks, or the Tories will claim them as their own.

In the follow ing places Reformers will, it is certain, unseat Turks. Thus z-- Athlone—John O'Connell vice Captain Mathew. Belfast—Lord BelfaBt rite Emerson Tennent. Carlow—Ashton Yeats vice Colonel Bruon. Carlow (Town)—Mr. Maulc vice Francis Bruen. Cork (County)—Mr. Poehr vice Lon < field. Dublin (City) 2 Mr. D. O'Connell and Mr. Roe (most prohably) vice S. B. West and G. A. Ilamiltna, Longford (2)--Luke White and Colonel Henry White vice Anthony Lcfroy and Mr. Fox, QUeell'A County—Mr. Fitzpatrick vice Hon. T. Vcscy, Drogheda—Sir Wm. Somerville vice Hon. R. PiaArtt. Sligo—A Reformer undoubtedly, prrlt ,pa tiro lion. C. Dillon, A. D.C. to Lord Nlulgravc, vice John Martin. These are the certain gains which the new election will, in Ireland, give to the friends of enlightened Go vernment. It is also very probable that the Refor mers will gain two other seats, now occupied by Tories, thus : Bandon—Richard Moore, Queen's Counsel, vice Serjeant Jackson. Kinsale—:Mr. P. Mahony vice Colonel Thomas. A little exertion would also oust Colonel Perceval from Sligo county, and Colonel Dawson Darner from Portarlington. It is not at all unlikely but that the lat*,er will be speedily relieved from the pressure of Parliamentary duties, so that, in any event, the Re formers are sure of 12 gains in Ireland, and have a fair prospect of adding three more to that number. On the other hand, the Tories gain one in Antrim, and we have our apprAensions for the fate of Newry. This is the utmost amount, of strength the corruptionists can gather from the new elections. There will be some other changes, but these will not affect the balance of parties, or rather the relative position in which both parties now stand. To complete our synopsis we may, however, as well state the nature of these changes : Armagh—Currey, vice Dobbin. Dungarvan—Hon. Colonel Phipps, vice John Power. Dublin, County—Lord Brabazon, vice C. Fitzsimon. Waterford—John Power, vice Sir R. Musgrave. Kildare—Archbold, vice Ruthven. Youghal—Hon. Colonel Cavendish, vice John O'Connell. Louth—Henry Chester or some other Reformer, vice Sir P. Bellew. Kilkenny, City—P. S. Butler or some other Reformer, vice D. O'Connell. Dundalk—A Reformer unquestionably, vice Sharman Crawford. There arc two other places, Coleraine and Carrick fergus, now represented by fugitive Tories, which will most likely return Tories at the ensuing election. These constitute all the changes of every sort which, it is almost certain, the approaching dissolution will effect in the representation of Ireland. The Reformers of Great Britain will exult in this prospect, which must fill the corruptionists with dismay. Let the scribes of the faction bluster and misrepresent as they may, they cannot rail away the indisputable particulars we have given. In Great Britain the prospect of the Reformers is equally bright and cheering ; and when our gains in every part of the United Kingdom 3hall have been added together, we confidently calculate upon seeing the Liberal Ministry in a working majority of seventy in the first Parliament of Queen Victoria—God bless her I—Morning Advertiser. Sir James Graham i s a p er f ec t an d mature speci men of one class of candidates against whom the es pecial opposition of all Liberal constituents should be most strenuously directed in the coining contest. He is a renegade with all his political offences ripe about him, and his rejection from the representation should be made to serve as an example to all those embryo apostates, who, while they affect an earnest desire to advance the interest of Reform, endeavour thereby to insinuate themselves into public confidence, solely for the purpose of more effectually rctardieg the progress of popular Government. There are many of these undeveloped apostates who have not yet burst the shell in which they are hatching their iniquities, and whom it is, above all things, desirable to scare from perfect ing their atrocious incubation. There arc many now who, like Sir James in 1831, seeing the impossibility of effectually resisting the impulse which public opinion gives to the onward movement of Reform, feign an ac quiescence with the general sentiment in order to gain a more favourable position for resisting it. Sir James assures his constituents, that his sentiments are un changed, and we believe him, for at heart he was al ways opposed to admitting the people to their just and legitimate influence in regulating the action of their own Government ; but then, in conduct and pro fession he is totally changed since that, the proudest period of his life, when he was associated with a Reform Administration. He was then a deceiver, whose cheat imposed on the constituency of East Cumberland—he is now an unmasked enemy of free institutions, and those who were duped by iris fraudu lent pretences are, we rejoice to perceive, about to exact the penalty of his delinquency. Nearly one-half of the elector s o f E ast C um b er l an d have, in the space of four days, signed a requisition to Major Aghonby to come forward for its representative, and the re quisition is daily receiving an accession of signatures, so that there is - not a doubt that this important con stituency will free itself from its present noxious in cumbrenee. Li his second address to the electors, Sir James deprecates the fate which is preparing for him, i i i n t a a ig s a l t e io onf, did iin gatpu ut assumpti on w hi c h wou ld exc i te its bathos and absurdity make it ludicrous and altogeth er too contemptible to create any serious feeling of hostility. Sir James, in this piteous production, complains that any attempt should be made is exclude him from the representatio n ; nay, to use his own words, even from a share in the representation of " Cumberland." This is truly lamentable, especially when it is so desirable for Tory purposes, for which Sir James is a mere instrument—ponderous and ineffective, it is true, hut still an instrument to get up the seen !dances of re-action. This is re-action on the wrong side, and a re-action which we must ssy evinces a most callous disposition on the part of the electors who can prove insensible to the modest and moderate request of Cie . '. present representative, who, with an extraordinary excrtion of self-denial, observes, "I ask only for one seat, when two arc vacant." What magnanimous forbearanc e ! No one acquainted with Sir James can doubt that his moral and physical weight entitles him to two seats at least, and vet such is the risk he is wil ling to encounter for the sake of the electors of Cum berland that he will venture his precious person into one. And this patriotic devotion is the more to he admired when it is considered that he regards the re presentation of the county as his private patrimony. Yet he asks " only for one seat r an:l even this little favour he is refused. Is not this reaction? Where will Sir James seek refuge from its effects ? Some of the boroughs which are described as " going a-beeging for " candidates," may take compassion on him—he has no chance in East Cumberland. To the other electors of the empire we would say, in regard t o can didates of the stamp of Sir Jam none e s , in or tl t he m-- they words of Hamlet to o knaves°P Believe arrant Morning Adv er ti ser . are Among the many electioneering novelties afloat at present, we cannot omit to notice the characteristic advertisements whereby Mr. Wentworth Beaumont and Mr. Joseph Hume are respectively taking leave of their present constituents, the former voluntarily, and the latter by compulsion. Whether extraordinary talent form any part of the " hidden treasure" for which the wealthy Northumbrian is renowned, we e;:tnnot undertake to say. Certain it is that Coals and character, Wall's-end and wisdom, are by no means incompatible possessions ; and as for the political integrity. of the retiring Member, no person who knows him can doubt it for a single moment. The worthy gentleman entertains, it seems,ailioinngexfattniniglivairsil:; His able passion for " clear currents." with the pellucid 8=7110121, which finds its course at the base of the Cheviots, has doubtless imparted to N. !JO THE SU N D N 11:!rt a lore of tilt 4' which persons accu,toined io more turbid ass7ciations can form little idea of accordingly, finding that til , 2re i aKcil. vltat of mu.l and sedinlent itjAir just new at home, he frankly i,tivs to ins constituents.

Nor is the reason he assigns for this unworthy of no tice " My confidenre in the Wh;gt has been feeble, because I have risen with disgust that they acted foolishly, and I ;lid not consider it an honourable cour3c on their part to trust those who had publinly reviled tLcni." In the view which Mr. Beaumont here givcs of the Whigs, he, as a supporter of theirs, is by no means singular. Their folly and dishonour in having bartered the institutions of the country to purchase the support of the venal Papist who had formerly denounced them are keenly felt, we know, by numbers of their Parlia mentary allies, whose moral courage to throw off their party thraldom has unhappily not been equal to their sense of its degradation. At this moment, were it not invidious, we could name no fewer than 23 Ministerial Members, who, while absolutely yearning for a favour able opportunity to follow Sir George Sinclair, Mr. Plumptre, and Sir Francis Burdett into the ranks of Opposition, feel, in common with Mr. Beaumont, that thorough disgust at Whig policy, which an erroneous view of their moral obligations has alone prevented them from. avowing. These gentlemen, being now about to solicit a renewal of their senatorial trust, will shortly have a fair opportunity to correct their po litical position : and if anything could be wanting to deepen their known dissatisfaction with the Whigs, or to dispose intelligent constituencies to refuse them support, except upon a distinct avowal of Constitu tional sentiments, the nefarious conduct of the Mel bourne Cabinet in regard to the approaching elections is abundantly sufficient to supply it. For example, a more unprincipled impertinence than Lord John Rns sell's recent attempt to foist himself upon the electors of Stroud, under the pretence that their support of his Lordship would be a proof of their loyalty to the Queen, has never fallen under our notice. It was a treasonable device to identify our maiden Monarch with the rotten reputation of the most unpopular Mi nistry that ever disgraced the councils or sucked the veins of the country. Cardinal Wolsey's "Ego et meus Rex" was nothing to it : and as during all the manly reign which has just closed Lord John could not dare to use such a liberty with the Royal name, even in his worst extremities, so the insolent and cowardly freedom which he now assumes towards a female Sovereign (almost reminding us of Beau Brummel's facetious declaration, " I will cut Wales, and bring the old King into fashion") would be abso lutely ludicrous, did it not indicate the heartless arro gance wherewith the Whi gs are a lr e ady b e ginnin g t o t a k e those undue advantages which, under the reign of a male Monarch, these cravens shrunk from attempting. Of a piece with this, evidently proving that the Queen isat pre sent subjected to a species of domination and insult, from which she appeals to her loyal subjects for a Constitu tional Parliament to set her free, are the unprincipled machinations of her Ministerial tyrants to frustrate her Majesty's deliverance. No matter what may be the known revolutionary projects of such men as Evans, Leader, and Hume, the Whigs have virtually de ' dared, by their trusty representative, Mr. Edward Ellice, who presided at the late meeting of the Westminster Reform Club, that, " in the absence of candidates whose principles are more in unison with their own," they will support the Radical adventu rers in opposition to Sir George Murray, of whom a party print of their own has recently declared that he rs " the most liberal of Tories, and one of the ablest men in Britain." In avowed hostility to such a dis tinguished servant of the country, with whose opinions on organic questions they profess to agree, here we have them supporting, might and main, a pair of organic Liberals, whose revolutionary dogmas they make no scruple to invest with Parliamentary influ ence, in the hope of being repaid by an occasional vote or two, tending to keep them in power. With such an atrocious instance of Whig immorality broadly before the country, who can deny that the " disho nour" attributed to these men by Mr. Beaumont is surpassed only by the meanness they display in kissing the rods that smite them ? The retiring Member for South Northumberland is disgusted, he says, because they trust their revilers. We shall not say that it is impossible to revile them, although their political infamy is such as almost to defy the possibility of exaggerating their demerits ; but by whom have they been so unmercifully lashed on particular occasions as by Joseph Hume, whose electioneering preten sions they are now supporting, on the understanding that amidst future flagellations he will at times " pat them on the back," and save them from official death ? The Middlesex quack has always acted by them in the twofold capacity of Provost marshal and Regimental-surgeon. With the one hand he has thonged their shoulders, while with the (Ater he has felt their pulse ; and as often as they have indicated symp toms of sinking, he has released them from the halberts only till his own caprice disposed him to resume his functions. Now, in administering such discipline, Mr. Joseph flume has been invariably aided by the whole staff of Parliamentary Radicals. Yet these arc the men around whom time Queen's Ministers, though smart ing under their unhealed stripes, arc at this moment meanly rallying ; and why ? For no other reason than to avoid what they would deem a harsher fate—being drummed out of the regiment with the loss of rations and pay. If with all Mr. Beaumont's Whig predi lections he could place no confidence in such men, still more may we expect that they will speedily he voted a nuisance at every polling place in the kingdom. As for the compound of mortified vanity and venom emitted by Mr. Hume in the form of a valedictory ad dress, we find that it scarcely deserves more serious notice than the dying cackle of any other of his tribe. Joseph would fain appear to be anticipating his fate with a wonderful affectation of magnanimity and indif ference. He has flung a few sentences at die electors, with a mingled feeling of pet and pity, which, where eYer it fails to elicit bursts of laughter, is awakening • indignation and scorn. He abuses treat menttheomw,fowretlitreusttil e intelligent which they are pepared to give him, and he tells omfi"cMgllCileledsenxienw.i'l'l Now, this, an d them they v a o r t e e requite it. They have now in their choice two Consti tutional candidates of the highest character and re spectability. That the metropolitan county of Eng land should continue to be disgraced by the political chapmanship of a Scotch pedler is a foul scandal never more to be thought of.—Times. The Conservatives are accused of being actuated by a kind of life-and-death anxiety respecting the genera! election which is so soon to take place. We admit the charge. We should be more indifferent to the political welfare of the people, and the stability of the constitutional monarchy, than we trust Conservatives ever will be, if we were not deeply anxious as to the result of th e approac hi ng strugg l e . The Conserva tives are, moreover, accused of taking a lofty tone upon the occasion. They have a right to do so. Their cause is that of order against misrule—of honour against craft—a:ld they are supported by every influence in the country of which men and gentle men have reason to b e p rou d. I t i s true they do not boast of assistance from infidels calling themselves philosophical, or Papists calling themselves free. They do not expect the aid of those who would have no Church at all, or of those who would have no Church but one. They are without supp or t e i t h er f rom the wholly indifferent or the wholly intolerant. They have not on their side the benefit of Mr. Hume's eloquence, or of Mr. Wakley's character, or ONI)Ay .1 UL Y JO, ,183/ thc the .O'colludl s 8 g're,dtly rp.noi7ted fpf grfatAle i o't - their oatns.

We bare with us all that is leading ill tie try—all that is looked up to when any matter more within the ken of the persons concerned than political tnattees Can he is required to be it - kludged with first , rate ability and skill. It is said that the city of London is against us; but how would the case be if the votes of the wealthivst and most intelligent merghants on 'Change, and those of the most eminent barris'.crs and solicitors residingin the in ns o f C o urt, were to decide the election ? Who does not know that, if such votes were to carry the election the representatives of Lon don would as certainly be Conservatives as the repre sentatives of Oxford University. In Westminster it is said that we shall hut partially succeed ; but what would the result be if the election lay with the first men in Westminster Hall—in the College of Physi sians—in the University Clubs—and in the clubs composed of officers in the army and navy ? We do not say that persons of these ranks, in intelli gence and experience, ought to elect Members of Parliament, to the exclusion of others ; but we do say that such men have a right to lead in political matters, as they do to all intents and purposes in everything else, and we have a right to be proud that they are with ua, and that our cause is their cause. We have a right to take a high tone, because already the majority of the representation of England is on our side. We mean no disparagement to the other kingdoms of the Union, but simply to state an unde niable fact, which is worthy of consideration, that England takes the lead of the sister kingdoms, and the majority of those who now represent England in the House of Commons are with us. Are we likely to lose any part of that preponderance ? The Admi nistration knows well that we are not, and therefore we are twitted day after day with Ireland and Scotland. It is certainly very fit that such a Ministry should seek for its principal support in the quarters most distant from the seat of Government and the scene of their exploits. It is very fit that such Ministers of a Protestant Monarchy —a Monarchy essentially and necessarily Protestant— should place its chief reliance upon the votes of a Papist population, the most bigotted in religion and politics, the most degraded in physical circumstances, and the most enslaved to their Priesthood of any popu lation in Europe. If the success of our cause de pended upon such support our anxiety about the elec tion would b 2 drowned in our shame for the degraded position in which, whatever might be the result, the election would exhibit us. If such support were what we looked to we certainly should not be justified in taking a high tone, though we were certain of a majo rity. We have never stooped so low—we have never purchased success at the price of infamy. " I stand here," said Sir Robert Peel, when he was chief Minister—" I stand here as the Minister of the Crown, in consequence of no dextrous combi nation with those to whose principles I have been unfforntly opposed, and with whom I might frequently have made, had I been so inclined, temporary alliance, for the purpose of embarrassing the former Govern ment." When any man now a Minister of the Crown can, with truth, say as much, we shall admit that he may take a high tone too. As it is, the inferiority of the talents of the Ministry and the baseness of their spirit are equally level to the lowest arts. The railing of their adherents seems gathered from the kennel, and their own political aspirations reach no higher than the half-doors of the 101. " shops or warehouses," or the " confession-boxes," where the unfortunate Irish peasant is made subject to his political Priest. Though the leaders of our party neither give away places nor receive salary we think we may take a high tone in comparison with such Monmouth-street traders in politics as form the present Government party. There are no two distinct and dissimilar paths of duty as Ministers of the British Crown. There may be shades of difference in the mode of arriving at the common object, but that object should be to rally round the Church, the Throne, the Legislature, and the law all that is noblest and worthiest in the land, to make usefulness and dignity unite together for the service and the honour of the country, and to make the Crown the head not of all that is worst, but of all that is best in the nation. Of the life of a Minister it may be said, " In eo colendo, sita vita est honestas omnis, et in negligendo, turpitudo." With that neglect we charge the present Ministry, and with the turpitude which belongs to it. This is a charge more serious than that of being anxious about an election, or talk ing loftily of our expectations of its result. One of the results of the election will be, we doubt not, a vir tual corroboration of this charge by the voice of the electors of England.—Morning Po.a. STATE OF TRADE. TRADE OF LEEDS.—The market on Saturday was one of the best that has been known 'at Leeds for many weeks, yet the aggregate quantity of business done was only small in comparison with that which, in ordinary times, is usually transacted, and prices remained much the same. On Tues day the market was again all it one. Some firms which, a few weeks ago, were doing nothing, are now working full time, and others who lately discharged numbers of hands are recalling them to their employ ; yet there are many still out work whose sufferings are great beyond comparison. BRADFORD MARKET.—On Thursday presented a marked improvement upon recent market days. Not only was there a larger attendance of merchants and buyers, but the prices of goods were much firmer, a circumatance which may be at tributed both to the smallness of stocks and the refusal of the wool-growers to part with their present year's clip on the present low and ruinous terms. The stocks of finished goods on hand is understood to be unusually small, so that any considerable extension of the demand must be imme diately felt by the operating classes. DEWSBURY MARKET.—We arc glad to be at length able to announce a decided improvement in the demand for blankets, druggets, paddings, flashings, &c., at this market. There was a better attendance of merchants than there has be n for some time, and a considerable quantity of business transacted at rather better prices. We think this market ere long will answer very well both for merchants and ma nufacturers, the situation being so central. HALIFAX MARKET, JULY I.—The improved feeling of confidence which we have for some weeks Past noticed is fully maintained in our market to-day. We cannot report any increase of business in our piece ball ; this, however, may be accounted for from the manufacturers being unwil ling any longer to accept the extreme low prices which, during the recent stagnation in business, many of them were either induced or compelled to submit to. We are not san guine enough to anticipate any material improvement in prices ; but we trust the manufacturers have acted wisely in the determination they appear to have come to. We are indeed very well informed that even the present low rates at which wool of every description is selling will not enable them to replace their stocks at remunerating prices. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, JULY 2.—The mar ket has been brisk to-day, and more business done than for many weeks past. The demand was chiefly for low and middle qualities of flannels. Prices continue very low ; but there are evident signs of improvement. The wool market was also livelier than for some weeks back ; and a fair pro portion of business was done. Prices the same as last week. YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY 6.—lt again devolves upon us the painful duty of reporting the transactions of this day's market, painful because the fond hopes we cherished, last week, viz. prices had seen their lowest, and that henceforward we might expect prices would progres sively improve, has been blighted. It is true our supply has been better than of any previous market this season, and of an improved quality, and we have also had a fair at tendance of buyers, yet, notwithstanding, prices have re trogaded from our last week's report, and fully one-fourth of the wools shown remain over to the next week, unsold. SHEFFIELD.—We are sorry to say there is no amend ment of trade her ; every week adds a few more to the number of unemployed mechanics. In spite of the reports of the arrival of money , the merchants show no disposition to commence operations, a clear proof the arrivals are not large, and we see no prospect of anything like good trade this year ; but we hope that confidence will be so far re stored as to cause a moderate demand for goods.—lris of Tuesday.—Leeds Intelligencer. ~<.,., ..

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. -,.- (From the ..tictinpAire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, JULY B.—Extraet of a letter from an tj officer of his Majesty's ship Magicienne, dated Cadiz, Rive 4 `2lst, 1837 f----#' The Inconstant left this port on the 19ti; ,ll instant, and we accompanied her to try our rate of aailing.% The weather was very fine, with light breezes almost all the Itl time w however, yesterday morning, we had as much as ck could carry, single reefed topsails and top-gallant sails too, with smooth water, and, I think, on the whole, we held the Inconstant a very good tug. At 9h. 30m. yesterday morning, we made the signal ' permission to return to Cia diz,' and also to ask Captain Pring's opinion of our sailing ; ', the answer was, ' superior to Pique,' and ' equal to Incon-k s t a nt.'

The Hornet and Lapwing are to be brought forward at 1 Chatham for the packet-service. iiii A gross instance of want of attention to the sea-worthi-a ness of ships—particularly those crowded with emigrants, ' has just 'been brought to light in the case of the ship Ed- I 1 711 II ward, Metcalfe, master, now discharging her cargo in this harbour in order to enable her to be docked. This ship 4 left London with 160 German emigrants , and was bound to New York, but made such an alarming quantity of water ;.4 that the crew refused to proceed in her, although the mas ter withheld provisions from them on account of their refu sal for three days. The German emigrants had also pro tested a g ainst her condition, and the Secretary of State , has sent down an officer to investigate the circumstances. Not only is her hull defective, but the official authoritie , I here pronounce her masts and rigging to be in a most 1 shameful condition, and the only wonder is that she ever 1 ! , succeeded in reaching this port without their tumbling over. . board. On examination, it was found that there was ;to oakum in some of the buts, and it is very doubtful whether A she can undergo sach a repair as to make her sea-worthy. -11, APPOINTMENTS.—Lieut.

The Court, having heard evidence for the prosecution an( defence, passed the following sentence—that the charge hay been proved ; and admonished Capt. Sir Fhomas Fellewe to be more circumspect in future.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE. The Cure of a little village in the department of th, Loiret died lately, and divided his property among his re latives. They sold the property by auction, and a perso► who bought the cellar of wines perceived on examination r hole in a part of it where wood was ordinarily kept. Hi, curiosity was excited, and on making further search the fol lowing extraordinary discovery was made. He found Priest's vestment richly embroidered, and a cross set in fin. diamonds. Next a little box covered with oil-cloth; con taining twenty thousand pieces of gold of the 16th an( 17th centuries, with several medals ; a watch covered witl precious rubies, a portrait set in diamonds, the painting be ing much effaced ; chains, rings, and trinkets of the yak( altogether of 500,000 f. He also found a cedar box, in perfect state of preservation, full of papers of a peculiai description. They were principally composed of promissor notes for money lent, besides various memoranda of heal sums lost at play to the celebrated Cardinal Mazarin. Thee are written in the following form Good for a hundred pistoles, lost last night at play tf his Excellency the Cardinal. (Signed) DUKE DE CRAON." " Good for five hundred lou;s, lost the du of St. An drew, to the Cardinal Mazarin, the banker Colmini holding the stakes. (Signed) " COUNT DE BUCCUNES." " Good for any article at Chergallier, lost to the Cantina! Mazarin, whom Heaven preserve with constitution for m. revenge at the fete of St. Germain. (Signed) " DE HAVACOURT." There are in all 900 memoranda of that nature, mans of them written by women, for money lost or borrowed,' and many by some of the principal persons of the Ro ) aI Family. Among the dresses is a rich Priests vestment, coverer with gold and precious stones, and having on the collar tl following inscription : " Hortense de Mancini de Mazarin, wishing to conseerat( to God the diamonds and the ornaments which he wore ►i: this world, which he now renounces, has presented this gift to the Cathedral." To this dress is attached a cross of great value. red both are supposed to be worth 100,000 francs. Opinio❑ is lost to ascertain the reason why these precious objects were deposited in that cellar ; but it is generally supposed the) were given to the Cure or his predecessor, at the period of the revolution. —journal de Loiret. -----P-7—LAIED CORNER DisHliz._, w ith Strong Silver Edges and Handles. —A Set of Four Plate; Corner Dishes and Covers are offered, complete, for Eight Guineas or a set with richly ornamented Edges, Handles, &c., for Tea Gui neas.
