The meeting of the London Conservative Associa tion, held yesterday at the City of London Tavern, is one of the hundreds of proofs daily offered by the Tory gatherings, of the progress of political " re-ac tion" throughout the country. When the chair was taken, and the business of the meeting commenced, a gentleman present had the curiosity to count the Con servative attendance on so important an occasion as that of recommending to the electors of the first city in the world a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament. He succeeded without difficulty. Now, how many persons do the Reformers suppose were present on this occasion ? Not the tens of thousands of highly influential city capitalists, bankers, mer chants, and wholesale traders, of whose staunch ad herence to Conservative principles the organs of To ryism are constantly reminding us. There were no thousands, no hundreds of Conservatives in atten dance. The " great and important Conservative meeting" of yesterday, including Chairman, Se - cretary, Committee, ' and eight Newspaper Re porters, was just composed of thirty-one per sons I—so that, at the utmost, the Tory gathering fell short of a dozen, exclusive of the actors and scene shifters. Now, it must not be supposed that the London Conservatives are behind their country coadju tors, in the " art and mystery" of getting up public meetings, and in the management of election intrigues ; neither are they, as a body, more obnoxious to public indignation. But the real fact is—and do as they will, the Tories cannot longer disguise it—Tor:,•ism is at a discount among all the extended and intelligent con stituencies throughout the United Kingdom. For the representation • of the metropolitan county, city, aial boroughs, the Reformers need entertain no apprehen sions. BYNG and Hums are quite safe for Middle sex; EVANS and LEADER will certainly be returned for Westminster ; the City of London will re-elect its present representatives, or men cvcry jot as libe- ral ; and in Lambeth, Southwark, and the Tower Hamlets, a Tory would scarcely dare to show his face. The cause of Reform is advancing steadily and prosperously at the present moment. It occasionally meets with temporary obstructions, but they proceed rather from the listlessness of lukewarm and timid friends, than from the hostility of avowed enemies.. As intelligence increases—as the masses acquire a knowledge of their weight and importance in the scale of human society—these obstructions will all be re moved. Every day adds to the strength of the people by increasing their knowledge of their actual condi tion, and, of course, .enabling them to judge how much it might be improved by good government. In the meantime• we trust that the failure of the Tory gather ings in London and elsewhere will have the effect of stimulating the Reformers to greater exertion. The victory cannot be said to be gained while the enemy keep the field. They still rally—still attempt to plant their broken standard on the citadel. Another ear nest struggle, such as obtained for us the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts—the emancipa tion of the Catholics—the redemption of the slaves— and the Reform Bill, and the victory and its glo. rious rewards—freedom and good government — are ours. We have now the opportunity o striking an effectual blow at oppression ; and tha Reformer is a traitor to his country, to his principles, to his posterity, and to himself, who skulks from the discharge of so sacred a duty. The Tories can never recover the power they have lost, because they cannot make the millions unlearn all that they hare learned within the last seven years ; but unless the auspicious opportunity offered by the accession of her Majesty Queen VICTORIA for securing the triumph of Re form principles, be taken advantage of by the Liberals, the Tories may manage to prolong for another quar ter of a century the most grievous radical abuses in the fundamental institutions of this country. It is therefore of the utmost moment that the Liberals should be everywhere on the alert. Let " Now or never"— " The Queen and Reform" be their watcis words. A bare.majority of Reformers in the next Hot;se of Com mons ought not to satisfy any honest Liberal. We must try and return four hundred gool Members at the very least. Remember there is the House of Lords to be reformed, and to attempt that Herculean labour we want an immense majority of staunch Re formers. The Tories seem resolved to make up, as far as they can, by intimidation, trickery, and all Manner of bad faith, for their want of strength and legitimate influence among the electors of the country. This, as we stated yesterday, is nothing more than vas to be expected from them. It is accoaling to the law of their nature, and no other explanation is necessary. The same want of principle that actuates the Tory in Oxford. shire, actuates him in Gloucestershire, though it may be modified according to circurnstanees, and may con sequently wear an external zspect somewhat different. In Cheltenham, we have been informed, the sup porters of the party have been of late trying their heeds pretty extensively at the work of intimidation —a mode of influencing voters which has now become so general on the Tory side, that it makes an integral part of their proceedings at every contested elee :ion. The state of the case we understand to be this :—a compact had been entered into be tween the two parties in Tewkesbury, that the representation of that borough was not to be disturbed. The Tories kept to the agreement as long as it suited their purpose. But as soon as they had, as they supposed, matured their plans, they ail at once bring forward a Mr. JOSEPH PEEL (a nephew, we believe, of Sir it oBERT), with the view of ousting Mr. HANBURY TRACEY, the Liberal Member, and returning two Tories. Not content with this breach of faith, which will in all pro bably be visited upon them in the return of two Li berals instead of one, they started Mr. JONATHAN PEEL for Cheltenham, in opposition to Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY, the present Liberal Member. No sooner had they made this distribution of the PEELS—the Tarnworth Baronet pulling the wires all the time—no sooner had they handed over brother JONATHAN to the good people of Cheltenham, than a posse of the most rabid Tories that could be found in the town, commenced what they called a canvass in his favour, threatening every tradesman who had dealings with a Tory with the immediate loss of his custom, if he refused to promise his vote for their candidate We are glad to find that the success of this pro ceeding was in the inverse ratio of its iniquity. We have been told that the tradesmen of Cheltenham have manifested a spirit and a regard to principle that are truly admirable and worthy of being held up as an example to others, on whom a similar experiment may be tried. One person—an ironmonger— having been ordered to send in his bill, because he would not desert his principles, heartily thanked the gentleman who told him this; for, said he, " you have been three years in Cheltenham, all which time I have had your custom, but no money. Now, I hope I shall have some chance of getting my bill paid." An other tradesman, by calling a tailor, and by birth an Irishman, who happened to be sitting on the shop board, goose in hand, actually let fly that professional badge at the heads of the canvassing party, and narrowly escaped an indictment for manslaughter . Fortunately geese have a great respect for one another, so no da mage was done on this occasion. We hope the inti midators will meet with as warm a reception wherever they attempt to practise their tricks. We have received the Hanauer Gazelle to the 7th inst. inclusive. On the 6th, a notice from the Royal Chancery announced that some changes would take place in the rules of the Guelphic Order of Knight hood, respecting the wearing of the Cross. The KING had given audiences to the Royal Consistory, and deputations from the Tribunals of Hanover and Calle, and the Chamber of Domain's. The arrival of the QUEEN and PRINCE ROYAL was hourly expected. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE left Hanover for Wis baden on the 4th inst. Previous to the departure of his Royal Highness, he published the following most affectionate farewell address to the people of Hanover: " Hanoverians 1--at a moment of separation, I cannot leave this country without ;addressing to its beloved inhabitants a word of adieu. In shy early youth I often resided in this native laud of my forefathers, and many delightful recollec tions are connected ivith that long by-gone period. I have now lived near twenty years amongst you; and, placed by the honoured confidence of the King, my deceased brother, at the head of the Goverennent of this kingdom, I reflect with gratitude on the able assistance which the Royal Ministry and all the authorities have afforded me, and the zeal with which they hare sustained and promoted my wishes and efforts for the, welfare of his Majesty's subjects. From the inhabitants of this country, and this city, I have recei ve d numerous proofs of the most cordial confidence and the sincerest lave and attachment. The grateful recollection of those proofs will be always dear to me, and no time, no dis tance, can over obliterate theta from my heart. Painful to me i 3 the separation from this city, where my children first beheld the I;glit of Heaven, where I hare zpent so mazy haopy hours, and where I have maintained friendly relations witli so many whom I love and esteem. But, however far I may be removod, I shall ever feel a lively interest in the happi ness of this country. May the Almighty give to the govern ment of his present Majesty, my illustrious and beloved bro ther, a blessed reign. May the country advance in prosperity ; may the protecting hand of Providence guerd it from all mis fortunes; and may complete domestic happiness and household prosperity be enjoyed by all its inhabitants. In this, the ia most wish of my hea r t, my consort and my children most ear nestly participate. They, too, love this country and this city ; they, too, separate Irons them with feelings of the deepest emo tion; and never will th e y f orget the nun rou3 proofs of ldve and attachment which they h ave o b ta i ned. A n d now , dearly v.‘ beloved people of this kingdom, I bid you nil au affectionate adieu, and leave you in the hope tlatt you also will hereafter think with affection of me. " ADOLPHUS." " Hanover, July 4, 1837." His Royal Highness also directed the Hereditary THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1837 Marshal of the Kingdom to communicate to the Es- • tates of Hanover, through the most approved channel (they having been prorogued on the 29th ult.) the following farewell address : " Gentlemen—The interest which you testify to me on oc casion of the death of my Brother, William the IVtb., has deeply affected me. To preserve and secure the happiness, the welfare, and the peace of his beloved subjects, was the ob ject of the unceasing exertion, of the most cordial wishes, of my deceased brother. With the calm consciousness of having fulfilled his high distinction here below, with the conviction that many tears of mute gratitude would follow him, he was able to part from beloved subjects, whose affection and fidelity on the other hand alleviated many of his heavy cares. This affection and fidelity he leaves to his brother, your pre-, sent King ; in the preservation of this costly inheritance the country will flourish, to which your King returns personally to devote his efforts to its prosperity. Now, Gentlemen, when the country is so happy as to have the King present in it, I quit the situation in which the confidence of his predecessors placed me in their absence. I have honestly endeavoured to answer that confidence, to do my duty to the King and the country, and gratefully acknowledge the favour of Divine Providence, which permitted me in the station in which I was placed to promote much good, and to avert many evils. In leaving this situation, I do not part from the affection, the recollections, the most heartfelt wishes that bind me to the land of my fathers ; for I feel at the bottom of my heart that these feelings will be extinguished only with my last breath , and so long as I live it will my greatest happiness to know that the King and the country enjoy all the happiness that I sincerely wish. • " With these feelings I remain your wholly devoted, " ADOLPHUS.

This discovery may delay the departure of the Dart, which was going to give up its opera tions.—Journal du Commerce d'Anverg, July. 12.

Sl:arcs Zeitung, July The whole of the Pails Papers of Tuesday have con rc_c2ivel. Their contents are not of the slightest , olitical importance. We annex a few extracts from them : The Messager is not content with the serious facts stated in the telegraphic despatch published by the Ministerial evening journal, but pretends to know that Don Carlos was to be on the 3th at Mosquerueta, a town 8 leagues beyond Cantavkja, and 16 leagues from Teruel : Don Carlos is said to be march ing towards Madrid by way of Teruel, Albaracen, and Se guenza. L seems that the state of things is not considered as so desperate on 'Chancre at Paris, for the Active Debt has risen. The Phare orßayonne, of the Bth says, " The Go vernor of the Seu d'Urgel made a sally on the 30th June with 120 men against 700 or 800 insurgents who had come too near to the fortress. The latter retired towards Barbastro.—Le Commerce, 11th July. The Moniteur of the 11th has no official article. The letters from Oran to the Garde Nationnel, say that General Bugeaud, M.

M. Charles Kiry ; a correct copy has been made of it for the Royal Library. It is very interesting, because a great part of the Latin words are ex plained in Anglo-Saxon.-- Constitutionnel, Julv 1 1.

In a word, the political aspect of Portugal looked as gloomy as it did at any time since the QUEEN'S accession. We direct puielic attention to the report in our co lumns of this day, of the proceedings which took place at the first general meeting of the " Newspaper Press Benevolent Association," held yesterday at the Freemason's Tavern. The want of such an Associa tion as that projected by the originators of this Institu tion, has been long grievously felt ; and we trust every proper exertion will be made to establish it on a foot ing of the greatest possible permanence and utility. We have not space to-day for more lengthened observa tions on the merits of a project in the advancement of which we take a lively interest. LONDON TAVERN, TWELVE O'CLOCK.—In con sequence of the sudden indisposition of Madame Schroeder Devrient, Madame San Felice's concert is unavoidably post poned till Thursday next, July 20. TIIE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.--On Tuesday last, the Directors of this Railway, accompanied by a large body of the shareholders, and several scientific gentle men of eminence, made a formal visit of inspection to the works that are now rapidly advancing to completion over the river Lea and the Stratford marshes. The Chairman of the Company, Henry Bosanquet, Esq., addressed a few words to the workmen, expressing the satisfaction of the Directors that no accident had hitherto occurred in the progress of this vast undertaking. The workmen, to the number of five hundred, were afterwards entertained with an excellent dinner at the King's head, Bow, and the Directors adjourned to the Tra falgar• Hotel, Greenwich, where the evening was passed in the greatest harmony, and the statements made in reference to the rospect3 of the undertaking seemed to afroxd the highest satisfaction. A letter has been received by the Mayor from Earl Durham, accepting the invitation of the council to an inaugural dinner to he given to him as Lord High Steward of this borough. In the most handsome terms his Lordship thanks the Corporation for the honour conferred on him by his nomi nation, and the kindness evinced by the invitation now ac cepted.—. Mil Observer.

The Duchess of Berry is said to have purchased in her own name, twelve shares iwa new Stewn Company which has been established at Dieppe. FINE ARTS. MARCUS CURTIUS. J. Martin, London, 1837. We have here another of Martin's mezzotints, exe cuted in his most effective manner. The subject is Marcus Curtius leaping into the gulph—a well-known legend recorded among the chronicles of Livy. The artist has shown us his hero just at the moment when he is making the fatal plunge. He is mounted on a milk-white charger who is hovering over the dark abyss ; while his rider uplifts his arms to Heaven, as if invoking its blessing on his patriotic sacrifice. The fore-ground, on either side the gulph, is made up of crowds of figures grouped with singular attention to picturesque effect ; and the back-ground, of a splen. did and diversified range of buildings adorned with porticos, statues, and rows of gigantic columns. In the remote distance, and towering high above the other edifices, the eye catches a glimpse of the majestic Ca pitol, which is brought out into vivid relief by the dazzling flashes of lightning which are irradiating the heavens just above it. Though well aware of the striking effect he gives to them, we cannot but enter our protest against Mr. Martin's constant, lavish use of these sulphureous splendors. His imposing architectural piles —his colossal pillars—his rocks—his mountains—his theatrically disposed groupes—and sometimes even his single figures—all these are invariably brought out by the flash of the lightning. His clouds, too, are al ways full of storm and tempest—an effect which, though appropriate enough in such paintings as the " Crucifixion," or the " Fall of Nineveh," is irrelevant in the present instance. Mr. Martin is a man of vigorous, but limited, powers of. fancy. His concep tions are striking, but monotonous. He can re suscitate for us the " famous Babylon," and dip his pencil " in the gloom of earthquake and eclipse," but he cannot get beyond these two ideas. He knows not how to pourtray character, or throw expression into his single figures ; else he would surely have made more of " Marcus Curtius," on whom the main interest of his painting necessarily depends. As it is, we think more of the horse than his rider, and still more of the vast ranges of architecture, which should be but as humble accessories to such a picture. Having dwelt long enough in the " seventh heaven" of the imagina tion, Mr. Martin should now descend to earth, and graduate in the school of humanity. He should bear in mind that " the noblest study of mankind is man," and throw more of human interest into his subjects than he has hitherto done. Clouds, black with thunder-storms—ghastly flashes of blue lightnings—impressive but scarcely defined groupes —and temples that seem the structures of gods ; all these .are very well in their way, but one single human figure which shall have power to impress 113 with feelings either of pity - or terror, like Sir Joshua's Ugolino, is worth them all put together. Had we not thought highly of Mr. Mai tin's abilities, which, in their own peculiar way, are unrivalled, we should not have urged so much on this subject—particularly as his Marcus Curtius, in the disposition of its groupes, and its startling effects of light and shade, never more im pressive than in the intense raven blackness of the gulp!), is perhaps, if we except Belishazzar's Feast, the most extraordinary picture he ever painted—but when a great artist, in his zeal to " create a sensation" wanders away from truth and nature, it is but just that , e should be reminded of his error. THE COVENANTER. Ackerman, London, 1837. • The famous scone in " Old Mortality," where John Balfour, of Burley, is represented as seated alone in a wild, romantic glen, leaning on his claymore, with his well-thumbed Bible beside him, has, if we mistake not., given rise to this picture, which is full of cha racter and vigour. The grim, old Covenanter, is drawn to the life, with his sullen air of hardi hood, his compact, iron frame, and the half insane expression of his eye. The landscape, too, in which he forms the chief object of attraction, is well chosen. He is in the depth of a mountain solitude, where nothing is to be heard, but the thundering fall of distant cataracts, or the cry of the eagle and the raven. Mr. Parker is the painter of this clever work of art, which has found an adequate engraver in Gellar, and has shown that he is fully competent to do justice to one of the most vivid of Scott's de scriptions.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF TUESDAY'S RACIXO. ...Paris I Handicap.—After a great number of false starts the lot got away in fine order, Jeanetton leading, followed by Castaside and Slight, the others, excepting one or two who could not live the pace, lying in good places ; about 300 yards from home Jeanetton declined, leaving the front to the Slight colt and Quicksilver, Corban next them, and Basilia on the off side hard held till half way up the cords, where the lad let her go, and Slight stopping at the same moment she had only Quick silver to dispose of ; this she did, after a severe contest, by a neck, Slight getting third place and Corban the fourth, Arme nia was fifth. July Stakes.—ln this case the third attempt was successful, the horses getting off so equally that at first it was almost im possible to say which was leading; after going a few strides Paganini took up the running, followed very closely by Os prey, Morella, lon, Mina, and Miss Cantley to the corner bf the plantations, where P.:ganini and Morella gave way; lon and Miss Cantley took their places, the mare waiting until halfway up the cords, where she headed her opponent, kept her advantage to the end, and won by half a length, but cer tainly not with ease. Osprey, Nina, and Paganini were %ell up, and each claims to have been third. Lara and Sir Mark Wood's filly were beaten off.

RAILROADS.—Without a practical acquaintanc e with the subject, no definite ideas can be formed as to the pa r ' ticulars of th e vast expenses atten di ng an un d erta ki ng o f tb's description. It may not be uninteresting to the general 'wadi to cite a few examples of these points, w hi c h we v ll , l take from the London and Birmingham lin e , now rapidly progressing towards completion. The cost of levelling, 0 ; cavating, tunnelling, filling up, &c., averages 50,000/. mile ; one mile alone, between Primrose-hill and Camden' ton, cost 300,0001., in consequence of the extraordinary dif 6 ' culties which presented themselves. The grand entrance' or portico, at the back of Euston-square, will not be cr pleted under 30,0001. The masonry at the mouth of tunnel, by Primrose-hill, will cost 7,0001. It is composed of the finest Portland stone, and, when finished, will have very handsome effect. The blocks of granite, upon which the iron rails rest for a considerable portion of the line, are , 5 guinea a pair. On other parts the rails rest upon logs 11 9 ` .. n some resp.eno —Y o r ut to ap f w e o ra o b d ie. a p l L a a n bo w u l r i which i w s ag co e n s si a d m er o e u d n , t i everyweex 40,0001. The total amount of capital in v este d in this speculation is estimated at seven million and upwards. The 17th instant is talked about as the day for opening about sixty miles of this railway ; but persons acquainted with th e s t a te of the works, suppose that it must be postpon e d t o t h e Is t of August. Two classes of carriages will run : t h e speed o f t he first class will average 30 . miles per hour, and of the seconds( 18 or 20.
