• sECO " SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. WESTMINSTER ELECTION. Mr. WAKLEY, (in continuation from our First Edition> paid—He would do all to secure the election of the heat man ; he believed that man to be Mr. Leader, but if a. etter was found he would give him his support. Mr. V(aklcy concluded hy moving his a mendment. Mr. J. CRAWFORD seconded the amendment. Mr. DE VEAR defended the a ppointment of the Commitee- The HIGH BAILIFF theneput the original motion and the amendment, and declared the latter carried by a largy majority. Mr. LEADER then came forward amid the most deafening cheers, which lasted for some minutes. In obedience to the call that had been made upon him, he had come forward to state to the meeting what his political opinions were, and the reason svhy he had ventured to hope for the suffrages of the elec tors of Westminster. He had been told, a few days ago, that certain Reformers in Westminster wished to propose him to represent that borough in Parliament in case of a vacancy ; and on Wedcesday last he had received a requi sition, to which he had returned an answer, that if his opinions agreed with those of the Reformers of Westmin ter, generally, he should be most happy to become their representative. His political existence was of short dun., ion ; it dated its birth only two years back, and he was taell aware that during that very short period, Lowever good his intentions might have been, he had not been able to achieve any thing that would entitle him not only to the confidence, but the suffrages of the electors of Westminster.—(Cheers.) He had not come forward in order to satisfy his own vanity, but because he had been told that he was the most likely man to succeed in the cause of Reform in Westminster.—(Cheers.) With respect to his political opinions he would say the time had now gone by to talk of Whigs. and Tories ; the parties in the state now were Reformers and Anti-Reformers—(Cheers) those who would advanoc., and those who would stand still. and if they dare, go bacha.—(Cheers.) He was for the roans , as opposed to the le w.—(Great cheers.) He was for the people, as opposed ti .) the Peers.—(Continued cheer ing.) He was for the Democracy, as opposed to the Aris tocracy.—(lncreased. claeering.) He wished to see the governing many fairly a . ,3 d fully represented, because he felt convinced that until than took place there never would be good government. A's the present House of Commons u as constituted, how c a old it be expected that the Reforms aesired by the people •would ever be carried by them.— (Cheers.) That HOUS•3 did not fairly repreSent the opinions of the people ; to do so ;a must undergo many Reforms ; there roust be Universal SufiFrage—the electors must be protected by the Vote by Ballow—and the duration of Parliament niust be shortened. lid short there Must be a new Raba taentary Reform --(Cheers.) The country had heel: told by the two great :aristocratic powers that the Reform Bill was it final measurie ; the people laid been deceived b 3 that measure, and being so, they must make their voice heard against it.—(Clauers.) A person in the crowd call iag out, "Do you viate for Universal Suffrage ?" Mr. Lender said that, he -lid. He was anxious that all who Paid taxes should have a vote ; if such was the case, if a aela Reform Bill was brought in, Reform in the Church Establishment, the Army and Navy, in short in every de rartment of the Government, would follow.—(Hear, lear, and cheering.) Was it to be expected that the pre sent House of Commons would vote for the abolition of the I'ension List, when so many of the friends and relatives or ids Memhers were pensioners ?—(Cheers.) And as little - es it to he expected that it would vote for the repeal of t aa taxes on itnowledge, or the abolition of flogging in the rnay, which he consldered one of the most disgraceful punisf• menta that could be inflicted in a civilized count:7. t had. been said that there would be no discipline in the Army without flogging. He could tell how discipline was to be secured without it ; by holding out rewards to the risen that enlisted, and a chance of their being made officers, trot putting an end to the aristocratic influence in the a my.- —( Cheers.) For his own part, he would much r tiler he that. than flogged to death.—(Cheers, and cries " What's your opinion with respect to the new Poor-law Bill . a") He thought the new Poor-law Bill an improve 111'.nt upon the old system, thou eh no one condemned more t .an lie did the cruelties that had taken place under it ; loose were, however, evils in the operation, and not con nected with the principle of the Bill. He was, however, r ady to vote for a thorough investigation into its opera- He must now say a law words with raspect to the Howie e Lords. That body obstructed all good legislation, and the ssonerdt was refused the better.—(Cheers.) In his opinion toe Bishops would employ their tints much better if they ware removed from that, assembly.—(Cheers.) These ere his political opinions, and if toe Electors of West ' ;aster approved of them, and should do hint the honour of :etina him as their representative, he wonlil premise them be a faitldid advocate of diets interests the House of nmons.—(Cheers.) RoEetaca then addressed the meeting, but in sc low a tune as to render it impossible for us, in the situation in att lath we were placed, to bear a word he said. He was s. ,e if the electors of Westminster chose his friend I\l s. I eider Os their representative, they would never have iuse to repent (icing so. Mr. Prow; moved that Mr. Leader was a fit and pro per person to represent the borough of Westminster in P:lefiatnent. The motion was seconded, and when put was carried al reost unanimously. The I .leeting. was then addressed by Co!. Tllott'- sox, M.P. and Dr. WADE, both (as we understood) in favour of Mr. Leader, but we were placed so that we could not hear their addresses. The Rev. Gentleman, as usual, vas very discursive, and Created unich laughter in the c owd. In one of his sentences he contended that the e,amtry would be much richer, and the people morn happy, if the working men were only to work four hours .a day ; b.it that could never be brought about until Democracy had overset Aristocracy. On the motion of Mr. PROUT, the High Bailiff was o dered to communicate the resolutions to Sir F. Burdett aue General Evans. Admiral NArIER said he had corn up 109 miles to givt, VA at support he could to his G tll:znt Friend General Evans. o INuf been called a mercenary ; he (Admiral N.) knew ti at when he went out to Spain be might have had 10,0001. y. t though he was not a rich man he refused it, and had served up to the present time for almost nothing. if his Crilant: Friend deserved the name of mercenary, so also (1,,1 Sir Philip Sydney, Lord Lvnedoch, Marshal Bercsford, end even the Duke of Wellington himself' ; for if he did not gale receive pension's from foreign ceuntt ies fur his servicts, they had been granted to him. He was convinced that if General Evans bad only been fortunate in. tie action be fore Idernani, as lie had been unfortunate,-they would not have heard a word of the motion which had been discussed iiu both Houses, and those then present would have shouted at his name, lie hoped before the 10th of June his Hon. Friend would lie able to present himself before them with honour and glory. Thanks were then voted to the High Bailiff, and the meeting separated. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, (THIS EVENING.)

Lord GEORGE LENNOX presented a petition from tl:e Secretary of Stevenson's Line, complaining of the manner in which Renny's subscription list had been got up. The petitioner stated that false and fictitious signatures had b 'en obtained, which he could prove before a Committee of the House. Captain ALSAGER said it was very singular that the Committee had been sitting for three months, and this was tl'e first time anything had been alleged against false and fictitious signatures having been placed on the subscription list. The proprietors of Rennie's line courted an inquiry, and he held in his hand a petition from those individuals, praying it might be referred at once to the Committee on the Bill. Mr. CURTIS said the statements contained in the pe tition which the Noble Lord (Lord G. Lennox) had pre sented were altogether false and unfounded. Lord GEORGE LENNOX gave notice that be should to-morrow move that the matter be referred to the Dept ford and Dover Railway Committee. Mr. BOLLAND presented a petition against the Man chester and Chester Canal Company. Mr. GORING presented a petition from Shoreham in favour of Stevenson's Brighton line. Mr. BROTHERTON presented a petition from the Birmingham Grand Junction Railway Company against the Deptford and Bermondsey Railway Bill. Also a petition ogaiost the Birmingham Equitable Gas Company. Sr G. S'FRICKL AND brought up the Report of the Committee on the Sheffield and Halifax Road Bill. The lion. Member then presented a petition from Barnsley against the Barnsley Waterworks Bill. Mr. AI A MLA ND presented a petition in favour of the Etockport Improvement Bill. On the motion of Mr. TOOKE, Gardaer's Divorce Bill was read a third time and passed.

BRUCE presented petitions against the Edin burgh and Glasgow Railway Bill ; from the Trustees of a Turnpike-road against the Glasgow and Greenock Railway Bill ; and petitions from Inverness against the Commercial Steam Company Bill, and against the North American et. - 3ain Packet Navigation Company.

WORTLE Y presented a petition against the Barnsley- Water Works Bill. Mr. CHALMERS presented a petition from the Ma gistrates and Merchants of Montrose, praying for an Equa l:zation of the Port Duties at Leith._ The LORD ADVOCATE and Admiral ADAMS presented similar petitions. AGRICULTURAL AND COMMERCIAL BANK OF IRELAND. Mr. E. TENNENT presented a petition from certain persons, stating that they had been induced, by false repre sentations, to embark their money in the Agricultural and Commercial Bank of Ireland ; that they had since been refused payment ; and praying that the circumstances might be inquired into by the Committee on Joint-stock Banks. Referred to the Committee. On the motion of Sir E. WILMOT the Birmingham and Derby Railway Bill was read a second time. Sir H. CAMPBELL brought up the report on the Roxburgh Road Bill. Sir G. CLERK presented a petition from Edinburgh shire, in favour of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. Sir R. PEEL presented a petition from the Chamber of Commerce, Glasgow, against the American and Colonial Steam Navigation Company, and praying that no private Company should be granted exclusive privileges. Captain ALSAGER presented a petition from the London and Brighton (Rennie's Line) Railway Company, denying the allegations made against them in a petition which had been before presented from the Engineer of a rival Line. Mr. FORBES moved the second reading of the Loan head and Stirling Canal Bill. Admiral ADAM rose to oppose the second reading of the Bill, because it had been opposed by the Chamber of Commerce of Edinburgh, and by nearly all the proprietors on the line, whose property would be sacrificed by it. The Gallant Admiral concluded by moving that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. C. BRUCE seconded the amendment, feeling con• vinead that no great commercial interests would be affected by passing the Bill. Mr. LOCH supported the second reading of the Bill. Sir J. GRAHAM complained of two Ms having been introduced for the same object, the intention of which evi dently was to distract the attention of the opposers of the undertaking, so that they might not be able to know which Bill they should - oppose. That was a•proceeding he hoped the House would never sanction, and he would suggest that both the Bills be rejected. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had had the honour to present several petitions from Scotland against the Bill, and he could state that the commercial communities of Scotland were, generally speaking, averse to it. The con duct of the Company had been most arbitrary—they had brought in two Bills having the same identical object in view ; and the consequence was, that parties opposing the Bill would be subjected to double expense. When parties proceeded in so vexatious and harassing a manner, he thought the House had good grounds for throwing out both these Bills. Mr. CHALMERS also opposed the second reading of the Bill. Sir R. PEEL said that if it were true that two Bills had been brought in to effect the same object, he thought that principle was so objectionable, that on that single ground hr should give his vote against the Biii, and he trusted the House would mark its sense of such a proceeding by reject ing it altogether. The SPEAKER said, that if he had known or had been informed that two Bills had been introduced for pre cisely the same purpose, he should not have considered . that he hail di.;charzed his duty unless he called the atten tion of the House to that fact. Mr. LOCH said that be hail cognizance only of the second Bill. After a few observations from Sir G. CLERK, The Amendment was carried without a division, and the Bill consequently lost. On the moticri of Mr. VILLIERS the Worcester Cattle Alai-Let Bill was read a third time, and pas.A. Mr. FAZAKERLEY presented a Report from the Poor-law Committec.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. WA RBuirroN brought up the Report of the Committee on the Deptford and Dover Railway pi tition Ile moved that the evidence relative to the subscription list be printed. It was desirable that it should be in the hands , of Members as soon as possible. Petitions in great numbers were presented in favour of the Ministerial plan for the aboliticn of Church-rates, by Mr. alines, Mr. Barnard, Sir G. Strickland, Dr. Bow, ring, Mr. Thornier, Mr. Parrott, and other Members. Petitions against the measure were presented by Mr. BA RNA BY. Admiral ADAMS presented several petitions in favour of the Ministerial plan for the abolition of Church-rates. Mr. GROTE presented similar petitions from the inha bitants of Wood-street, Cheapside.

Scrope, Mr. Potter, and . Major Beaucledt. Sir JAMES GRAHAM presented a petition from Car lisle against the Ministerial Ma: for the Abolition of Church Rates. Mr. R. WASON presented petitions in favour of the Ministerial Plan. CANADA. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL the House re solved itself into a Committee of the whole House upon the Canada resolutions. Mr. BERNAL in the Chair. On resolution 7 being proposed, Mr. GROTE said as this resolution was of a very se vere and penal nature, he would be sorry that it should pass the House without a few observations.—(Hear, hear, hear.) . It would put a great affront upon, and would almost abrogate the authority of the House of Assembly in Lower Canada. Before passing that resolution, let that House look how far its own conduct had been either just or politic. With respect to the tenure of land held in Lower Canada, all the complaints made by the people of that country or by the House of Assembly had been approved of by the Commissioners of Inquiry. In his opinion the passing of the Tenure Act by that House was as impolitic and unjust an Act as it was possible for it to commit. With regard to the substantive provisions of the resolution, it would be seen that the Tenure Act in 1825 was ac knowledged on all hands to be unwise, yet that resolution did not propose to repeal it, until a certain thing was done by the House of Assembly of Lower Canada. Sir GEORGE GREY defended the resolution. It was admitted on all hands that some enactment was ne cessary for the commutation of the tenure of land in that country from feudal to free or common suffrage. Upon that point there appeared to be less difference of opinion among the Commissioners than upon any other point submitted to them. Mr. ROEBUCK said the consequence is of the change of the Tenure Act, alluded to by the Hon. Under-Secre tary for the Colonies, had been that the whole country was raised against it, bus the Gouernment did not come down and in a straight forward way, say we 'will repeal the law.—(Hear.) The Hon. Under Secretary fancied that he knew what was good for them better than the people of Canada themselves,—(Hear, hear,) —and came down to legislate upon a subject of which he knew very little, or in fact nothing at all. The Hon. Gentleman had acknow ledged that lie knew very little of the tenure laws. He knew less of the feelings of the people. He (Mr. Roe bue',44 complained of the interference of that House in the affairs of that province in any shape, for they had most distinctly laid down the principle that the House of Assembly was the proper authority for domestic legislation. Having passed the Tenure Act it was the duty of the House now to repeal ir, hnd let parties do what they like with their land. He should therefore move, as an amend• ment to the resolution, that it was expedient at once to repeal the Canada Tenure Act. The CHAIRMAN having put the question, Mr. HUME said that he would be glad to hear an answer to the statement of his Honourable Friend the Member for Bath who had observed that he did not think the motion before HOUS3 was understood by any Hon.Mcm ber. For himself he would say that'he did not understand it. He felt himself bound therefore to complain that such im portant questions as the Church-rates and other matters had been put off in order to afford an opportunity of bringing forward resolutions which he would venture to say that not one man of twenty in that House understood.—( Hear, He considered the discussion on these resolutions was wasting the time of the House.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Hume) had given much time and attention to the subject, and professed not to understand these resolutions fully. It required much more time and research than the House had devoted to the svbject, and he feured to very little purpose, as the present was the fifth day that had been wasted upon the subject. It was admitted by the Noble Lord himself that this was a matter which the local legislature should itself take up, and he would there fore suggest to them the propriety of withdrawing it for the present. He complained of the manner in which the busi ness was conducted in the Colonial-office. There could not be a worse conducted office, and their policy was equally bad.—( Hear, hear.) He was only surprised to see so many liberal men dragged through the dirt in supporting these re solutions. The support of the Hon. Members opposite did not surprise him, as it was their principle to advocate every illiberal measure. The Colonial Minister was, in his opinion, incapable of discoarging the duties of his office, and was merely following the dictates of Tory advisers. He was satisfied these resolutions would be the commence ment of hostilities between that country and Canada ; and the Noble Lord might find himself mistaken if he was impressed with the idea that the people of Canada would not fight. He believed the Colonial Government knew nothing of the real condition of the people of Canada, and he deplored exceedingly that the Noble Lord should have been so ill-advised as to come down to the House with the proposal of such a system of coercion.—( Hear, hear ) Lord JOHN RUSSELL did not pretend to possess more knowledge upon the subject of tenures than he did upon fines and recoveries ; but still upon the information he had received from learned persons, he believed he had good grounds for the vote he gave on the Fines and Recoveries Bill as he also had for the vote he should give on the question before the House. He only wanted the great principle established—the details he was quite willing to leave to the wisdom of the Provincial Parliament. Mr. ROEBUCK said the Noble Lord was quite right in what he had stated with respect to the Fines and Recoveries Bill. There had been an inquiry entered into there by gentlemen learned in the law. But what in quiry had been instituted in this case ? Who were the Commissioners ? Were any of them learned in the law ? One of them was a country gentleman (Lord Gosford), was he likely to be learned in the law of tenure in Canada. Another was an officer of Engineers, and the other one an Indian Judge—not one of whom could be expeCted to know more of the laws of Canada than the Noble Lord himself. All he (Mr. R) asked of the Noble Lord was that he should put the law into the same state as he found it.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Such was the wish of the Canadian people, and if -they did not find it to work well, then they would themselves appoint Commissioner's learned in their law, but the Noble Lord said no, and called upon the ,House of Commons to put its faith upon the report of a country Gentleman, an officer of Engineers, and an Indian Judge. Mr. HUME said that notwithstanding the statements of the Noble Lord, he should vote to please the people of Canada, and not the Colonial Office. Mr. G. KNIGHT defended the resolution. Mr. ROBINSON thought the Hon. Member for Bath wiiied to have it understood that nobody but himself was acquainted with the Canadian law.—(Cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Member could not be considered an unixte aested advocate of this question, as he was avowedly the paid agent of the people of Canada.--(Hear, hear.) The on. Member had said that it was impossible to know any thing about these resolutions without being - acquainted with the French law of tenure. He (Mr. Itolmek) would take leave to deny that proroition. When Canada became annnex d to the British Crown it was arranged that the Erencb tenure should not be disturbed in the cases of property previously acquired ; but that the English settlers should have in all property acquired either by purchase, or any other means, have the porotection of the Briti.h laws. He could see no objection to such an arrangement, and he should, therefore, give his support to the present resolution. Mr. G ROTE did not think the Hon. Member for Wor cester had read the resolution, or he would not have so entirely misstated it. The resolution did not provide whether the commutation of tenure should be compulsory or voluntary, and there was a vast difference between the two modes. (LEFT PIPEAKING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Lord SHAFTESBRY took his Lem o❑ tho woolsack in the absence of the Lord Chancellor. Lord BANDON presented several petitions from Su folk in favour of Church-rates.

The Earl of ROSEBERY pr:sented a petition against Church-rates from the Lord Provost and Citizens o: Edinburgh.

The Bishop of HEREFORD presented similar peti tions from parishes in Herefordshire. The Bishop of CARLISLE presented similar petitions from parishes in Cumberland. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented petitions to the same effect. The Bishop of LLA NDAFF said he had a number of petitions to the same effect, which were signed by persons to all of whom the nature of the petition had been explained ; amongst them were one from Llandaff, one from Merthyr Tydvill, and from a large number from parishes in Gla morganshire. Viscount DUNCANNON presented a petition in fa vour of Church-rates, and laid on the table the Bth Report of thePost-officeCommissioners,theßeport of theComrnissioners appointed to inquire into the state of the Corporations in England and Wales in reference to London, and the Report of the Commissioners on the boundaries of cor porate towns. Lord BROUGHAM said that a petition had been intrusted to him to present from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Council of the city of biondon, against the unjust distribution of the land tax, which he felt great pleasure in presenting, as the Corporation did not in that House possess the right which they had in the other House of appearing by their Sheriffs and officers at the bar, and presenting their petitions. The Noble Lord then presented a petition from Lambeth against Church-rates ; also petitions to the same effect from Maid stone, and from parishes in Northampton, Durham, Somer set, Derby, Buckingham, and York ; from Brandon in Suf folk, from a parish in Denbigh, from Plymouth, from a parish in Leeds, from parishes in Kent, from the Mayor and inhabitants of Chesterbury, and from places in Denbigh and Carmarthen ; from Kettering, in Northampton ; from parishes in Suffolk and Westmoreland ; from Newmarket ; from the Guild and Corporation of Perth.

The Earl of RODEN presented petitions from Dublin against the Irish Municipal Bill ; also from parishes in the County Tyrone, to the same effect. IMPROVEMENT OF LANDS IN IRELAND BILL. The Marquis of CL ANRICARDE, in moving the second reading of this Bill, said that it would. be only necessary for him to make a few remarks on the subjoct. All the Reports of Commissioners were in favour of such a measure as the present—several Bills having the same object in view had been proposed, but they had fallen to the ground, in consequence of the provisions leaving too much to the landowners—the provisions of this Bill were to the effect that Commissioners should be appoinied by the Lord- Lieutenant in council to examine and report how far, and where, works could be undertaken, and how far the lands should be chargeable on account of them. Some objections would, and indeed had, been made to this Bill, ou the ground that too much power was given by it to the Commissioners—but he was not of this opinion, and he had no doubt that many valuable works would be undertaken if the Bill became a law.—(Hear, hear.) The present measure was one relating to Ireland, which he thought might be discussed without reference to party feelings.—( Hear, hear.) The Bill might, in some degree, be said to be connected with another measure lately introduced into the other House. However, it appeared to him that Government and Parliament were determined that some decisive steps should be taken for the ame lioration of the poor of Ireland, and he thought that the appointment of Commissioners to inquire into the state of the poor was a wise step. (LEFT SPEAKING.) SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. "As to holding office, I have only to say that I conscientiously believe that the well-being of the coun try requires that I should hold it, and hold it I will till lam removed." Such was the resolution avowed by Lord Melbourne at the close of the last session, and. deliberately founded on the principle that so long as a Minister possesses the confidence of a Reformed House of Commons, he is bound in duty to maintain his post. But Lord John Russell has more recently declared that the Irish Corporations Bill is of vital im portance to the Administration, and expressed his sense of the evil of bringing forward measures year af ter year, and suffering them to be defeated, without taking any step, and further, he has stated that he does not think the Government can permanently go on or ask the confidence of the Commons, if it suf fers principles to be applied to the Government of Ireland against which it protests. This has been in terpreted as a pledge to resign upon the defeat of the Irish Corporations Bill, but any such purpose on such grounds is overruled by the higher and more com prehensive principle asserted by Lord Melbourne. Which, then, is to prevail ? Is the Ministry to bold. power while it has the support of the Commons in a Parliament elected under Tory auspices ; or, hav ing the support of the Commons, is it to lay the Go vernment of the country at the feet of the Lords ? Would so gratuitous and so abject a submission be en dured by the people? Common sense and common pride equ - ally revolt against it.. We agree with Lord John Russell as to the grievous evil of bringing for ward Bills and suffering them to be defeated without taking further steps on the subject ; but let us see how the matter is to be mended by surrendering the Government to the very enemy which thus arrests the progress of reform: A great benefit is proposed for Ireland, which the Lords will not allow to be carried into effect, and, because the benefit in question cannot be obtained for Ireland, is the denial of it to lead to the most cruel injury that can be done to her, namely, the abandonment of her to the Tories ! Will the Whig Ministers say to the people of Ireland, " As we can not serve you as we wish, as we cannot do you the good you desire, we will put you in the hands of your enemies, and expressly because they have frus trated, the measures proposed for your advantage." Disguise it as it may, such would be the logic of a resignation on the Municipal Reform Bill. The people of Ireland will fairly answer, " If our benefit he what you have at heart, know that the most in jurious thing that you can do us is to surrender us to the Tories. Such a step will not give us the mea sures we want, and it will give us a fell Administra tion that will govern us according,- to its views, as aliens in blood, language, and religion." This, it will be said, is all very true, but what is to be done ? Can the Government go on suffering its measures to be de feated without any farther step ? We say that this is a question which must be decided by the people. If Ministers are prepared to propose any step to obviate the defeat of their best measures, well and good, let them resign should the step be refused to them : but if they do not as yet contemplate any step to conquer the difficulty, they are required to hold their ground till public opinion upon the factious obstruction in the House of Peers has formed a firm and settled judg ment, upon which a liberal Government will be com pelled to proceed to some measure for the removal of the dead lock in the Legislature.—Morn. Chron. Although we have more than once called public at tention to the almost unexampled sufferings of the high landers and islanders of Scotland, our readers, we are sure, will readily excuse us for again reverting to the subject. The metropolitan subscription, we regret to say, is by no means realizing the anticipations that were formed of it. At present, including many con tributions from the country, it scarcely exceeds 12,0001., which is little more than a .ninth - part of the lowest estimated amount necessary to meet, in any mo derate degree, the distressing exigencies of the case. The partial and tardy way in. which a response has been given to die various appeals addressed to our countrymen on behalf of these famishing multitudes, is to us wholly unaccountable. That much of this backwardness may be attributed to a prevalent misap prehension that some substantial relief would be admi nistered by the Treasury, we cannot doubt. The truth is that the unproductive pretences and paltering negotia tions of Ministers upon this subject have left many per sons undetermined what to do ; but we have now to announce, once for all, that, whether from terror of Joseph Hume's declared hostility to the relief of his countrymen out of the national Exchequer, or from a desire to encourage voluntary contributions, to which the said Joseph has not given a single farthing, or from some other cause which avoids publicity, no assis tance of any kind is to be expected from Government for the purpose of relieving immediate wants. All that Ministers contemplate is the conditional advance of a sum of money to supply the tenantry with seed-- a piece of liberality which may be very useful in pro pitiating the political support of Highland landlords, but which will not provide a single potato for the existing necessities of the population. We are ex tremely surprised to observe the comparative parsimo niousness with which this humane object has been s upported by the Scottish nobility and gentry of the Lowlands, as well as by some of our English families of acknowledged wealth and benevolence. This, we are persuaded,•must arise entirely from the extent and particulars of the destitution not being sufficiently known, and therefore we publish in another column a number of well-authenticated details, of which the fol lowing, we believe, is a tolerably faithful summary. In the district of Skye, containing a population of 23,801, the Rev. Mr. M'Lachlan, one of the local clergy, says— There are whole families within our bounds who have neither fire to warm them, nor garments to clothe them, nor food to support them." Respecting Portree and its immediate neighbour hood, the Rev. C. Macdonald writes— " There are 27 families, consisting . of 110 individuals, who have not a single article of food within their dwellings. I have found nearly 700 persons who have nothing earthly lot watery potatoes, without a grain of meal. In this state of destitution, and without aid from their beneficent ne ighbours in the south, my poor parishioners have no other prospect before them but famine, disease, and premature dissolution." Another letter, dated the 18th of February, says— " Of nearly 4,000 souls in the parish, 1,076 are wholly without provisions. The rest are almost destitute. The kind of food on which they now live is better fitted to en gender disease than to afford nutrition. They are as much at a loss for clothing as for food." The Rev. Joh❑ Cameron, Minister of Stornoway, in the district of Lewis, declares in reference to his parish— " 1,5a0 souls will require require relief till next autumn : 163 families are totally destitute of all supplies of food : the remaining number stand in need of succour. Accord ing to the opinion of two medical gentlemen resident here, there is required (in addition to what may be obtained by digging for shell fish in the sands, and by every other shift the people can make) a stone and-a-half of meal, 141 b. to the stone, for each adult per month. The quantity re quired, according to the above estimate, is 716 bolls, of 140 lb. each boll." _ _ . Let this revolting.and deplorable statement sink into the hearts of those who have a feeling of humanity left. All that this excellent clergyman asks for, to eke out the uncertain subsistence of his perishing flock till next harvest, is rather less than a pound weight of pea-meal per day, for each of the sufferers. The food petitioned for, both in point of coarseness and stint, is such as an Englishman would be ashamed to offer to his horse or dog. Equally touching is the account given by the Rev. Mr. M' Rae respecting the want of food, clothing, and bedding among the people of his charge ; while the Rev. Mr. M‘Pherson, of Tober mory, expressly says— " Before harvest, the number of the destitute will be 700. I know well that several families in this place had not a single morsel of food in their houses some months ago ; neither had they money wherewith to purchase any." In the island of Colonsay (says Mr. M'Calman), with a,population of 850, " many families are without a particle of food, save what they have gathered from potato-fields ,previously dug, and that will not last above a week. ' Of 1,458 people in the parish of Jura, the Rev. Mr. Kennedy says, " Hundreds are in necessitous circumstances, having neither potatoes, nor the means of procuring them," Almost the whose population of Harris, upwards of 4,000, are in dis tress. Mr. M'lver, the parochial !clergyman, writes that " four hundred families are in want of the neces saries of life, and others are confining themselves to one meal a-day. But to prosecute this distressing enumeration were endless. Suffice it to say, that besides the cases of Salin, North Uist, Strath, Small-isles, Tyree, and Ross in Mull, alluded to in our other columns, ac counts of a still more revolting character arc daily ex pected in London from some of the remoter districts of Invernessshire, and especially from the Orkney and Shetland Islands, whose destitution is already ascer tained to be extreme. What can we possibly add to give force to these simple and affecting statements? 'The highlanders and islanders of Scotland are an orderly, moral, brave, and industrious people. During the last war they contributed to nearly all the proudest triumphs of the British flag, both by land and sea. They are distinguished universally for their kind-heartedness and and hospitality. The present sufferers are the victims, not of indolence or vice—not of O'Connell tributes or priestly extortions, but of a severe and protracted visi tation of Divine Providence. They cost the country nothing for military or police. Above all, these are the descendants of the men that fought and fell at Assays, Salamanca, and Waterloo.—Times. It appears from the accounts in the Irish papers, that while the Tories across the Channel are doing all in their power per fas aut nefizs in support of their party, that some of the leading Whigs are ex hibiting a lukewarmness truly lamentable, and not at all creditable to their zeal and spirit. In the large towns in Ireland exclusive dealing and intimidation are, we are informed, ' Carried to, such an extent by the Con servatives, as to deter persons qualified to become electors from coming forward at the Registries to put in their claims, and in the counties the rod of tyranny is held in terrorenz over the heads of the rural con stituencies, ready to fall upon them if they dare to obey the dictates of conscience, instead of attending to the unreasonable commands of their inexorable taskmasters. But what have we said—that the rod is only held in terrorenz over the heads of honest but dependent men ? Alas ! it has already been employed in scourging the victims of persecution. A few days ago we gave what now turns out to have been unjust praise to the Marquis Conyngham, regarding the sa crifices he had made to promote the liberal cause, by encouraging his tenants in the north of Ireland to re gister their votes. We are sorry to understand that we have been wrong, and that the apathy of the Noble Marquis will insure a triumph to two of the bitterest Orange 'Tories in the House of Commons. This is really shameful. That a man who is connected with the Government, and who receiving a salary under them, should not think it worth his while to exert himself to promote their stability, is a circumstance not very creditable to his head or heart. We have no patience with false or pretended friends, and still less with those who are not, but are bound to be, friends, if they have any sense of gratitude or honour about them.—Morning Advertiser. STEA M-PACKETS.---We learn that is intended by the Lords of the Admiralty to establish steam packets between this country and Portugal, a measure which, whether we regard its advantages merely as a matter of improved revenue, or in the more important view of facilitating commercial and poli tical communication, cannot fail to be satisfactory to, and pro motive of the best interests of, the country at large. , A . • THE TABLES TURNED.7—At the DonegaIEISSIAC S the followino , humorous cross-examination of a witness occa sioned much rierriment in Ccurt :—Mr. Doherty—What bu siness do you follow ? lam a schoolmaster. Did you turn ofi' your scholars or did they turn you off? Ido not wish to answer irrelevant questions.—(Laughter.) Are you a great favourite with your pupils ? Aye, troth, am I, a much greater favourite than you are with the public. Where were you, Sir, this night ? This night, said the witness—there is a learned man—this night is not come yet ; I suppose you mean that night—(here the witness looked at the Judge, and winkred his eye as if in triumph). I presume the "schoolmaster was abroad" that night, doing nothing? Define "nothing," said witness. Mr. Idaiterty did not comply ; well, said the learned schoolmaster, I will define it—it is a footless stocking without a l eg .._( Roars of laughter, in which his Lordship joined). You may go down, Sir. Faith, I believe, you're tired enough of me ; but it is my profession to enlighten the public, and if you have any more questions to ask I will answer them. A BLIND TURN-OUT.—Thirty years back blind. horses were numereus in stage coaches ; in fact, it would now and then happen that the whole team were in starkness. " Well over t at, Sir," said one of the old school of coachmen to a passenger that sate behind him on the box, having just passed a dangerous bridge on a foggy night. " Only one eye among us." That " one" was his own l—Nimrod. So intense was the cold during the nights of Wed nesday and Thursday se'enight, that in parts of the metropo lis having a northern aspect, ice nearly half an inch in thick ness was found in water-butts and other exposed reservoirs. As yet scarce a sign of leaf or bud is to be seen on the shrubs that ornament the areas of the squares. This is certainly something unusual in the middle of that month which is the immediate precursor of the " flowery May." There was heavy rain, with snow and extreme cold, in Dublin the whole of Tuesday last. Cattle and sheep are suffering for want of fod der, and farmers are paying 5/. to 101. and 151. per day for hay. Good hay commands 61. a ton, and should the present weather continue longer, it is likely to rise considerably. The Bath paper, of Thursday, says, Monday, Tuesday, and yester day we had snow—that on Tuesday, though it did not remain on the ground, was very thick. Serious apprehensions are en tertained in the country about the grass, and the winter vege tables used for human food are likely to be exhausted before the spring (when it comes) can replace them. _ _ On Friday week, between th• hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, a parcel was picked up in Glasshouse-yard, Aldersgate-street, by a polieeman on duty, which, on examin ation, was found to contain the bodies of two infants ; they were wrapped up in a green baize apron, a blanket, and part of the under clothing of a female ; the latter was very much stained, and had the mark which was on the front cut out. The apron, from its appearance, was supposed to have belonged to some fishmonger. The bodies were carried to the watchhouse, and on the following morning taken to Mr. Lobb, the surgeon of the parish, in whose possession they still remain. That gentleman states that they had not nearly arrived at the full period of utero-gestation. They were evidently twins, and both of them females. The parochial authorities from some reasons appeared to think that their premature birth had been caused by the aid of some deleterious drug, and have accord ingly issued handbills offering a reward for any information respecting the apprehension of the parties concerned. A man, apparently about thirty years of age, of middle stature, having a black coat and wearing a white apron, was seen under a gateway shortly before the parcel was found, and was observed to throw something down and leave the spot in great haste. An English traveller, in passing through Loch winnoch parish last week, was much surprised to see a man busily employed in mowing hay ; but instead of an early crop, it turned out to be a late ono ; it being the crop of 1836, and not that of 1537, that was under the operation of the scythe. " How is this ?" said he, " Why you are three quarters of a-year behind the rest of the world." " I'll tell you a' about it," said the mower, suspending his labour and leaning on his scythe. " Last winter the crops on a' than meadows were destroyed by a great spate. The Laird (Mr. Alacdowall, of Bar), who had let them out to tenants, couldna fin' in his heart to tak' a bawbie frae them. Me gied us a' back our bills, and gied up his claim against us, plack and fardin. Twa three days since, he sent me and the lave word, that if ony of the hay could be of use to fodder and bed the beasts wi', we were welcome to tak' it, and we hae just accepted his kind offer." " Well," said the Englishman, as he took leave of the mower, " lam happy to see, that though you are eight or nine months behind the other parts of the kingdom in the growth of your hay, you are not a whit behind them, but rather in advance in tho noble, generous, and honourable feelings of your landlord.".—Paisley Advertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE GUILDHALL. Saturday, James Long, of King-street, Bartholemew-i -close, broker, attended to answer the complaint of West, the city toll collector in Barbican. West stated that the defendant was what is called a King's freeman, who by lawr. was authorised to carry on any trade in the city in consi deration of his having - served the King dur in g the pa In fact, however, he was not a freeman at all, but merelY privileged to exercise his calling without being a freeman., He had persisted in passing through the city with his horse and cart without paying toll. The defendant's solicitor read the clause of the Act of 56 Gco. 111., c. 67, and contended that his client The exempt from the toll as well as any other freeman. The clause ran thus :—" That all mariners, soldiers, marine s ' and also their wives and children, may set u p such trades as they are apt for in any city, &c. without molestation , by .reason of using such trade because of certain by-laws and customs." The city solicitor considered a cart that if the use o f was required by the defendant's business he was entitled to pass in and out of the city on the same terms as a free c a provided he resided in the city, "and the good s in the cart were bona fide his own. A freeman was liable to pay colt if he carried the goods of a non-freeman. The ALDERDAN dismissed the tol-taket's complaint. BOW-STREET. On Saturday Elizabeth Clark, a young girl about le' years of age, was brought up, charged with having s tolen s siher teapot, milk-ewer, and spoons, besides a great cl 1'I"' n tity of wearing-apparel and clothing, the pi oper t y of 'l"' John Batey, her master, who resided in Thanet p ace, Temple-bar ; and Rebecca Baxter and Ann Fri.'" t i t old women, were charged with feloniously releis 6l4 property, knowing it to have been stolen.

MARYLEB ONE. TATER v. MURPHY.—Kitty Carey, a strapping Irish' damsel, located in Calmell-buildings, Oxford-street, iv° charged before Mr. SHUTT, with throwing a huge potato et" her countrywoman, Mary Murphy, which, in obedience t i the laws of gravity and attraction, struck her, the 0 1 Murphy, full in the eye. Plase your %Vorchup, said Mrs. Murphy, I lodges in the same house with Kitty Carey, and we had a bit of a NO together yesterday. She was very hot, so jist to cool her a little I throws a pailful of clane water over her, which eoold not hurt her in the laste, at all at all. But the devil bull her, for instead of the water making her cool, she flared UP worser than before, and so in her airs, she catches up ( 0f ing your Majesty's prisince) a vessel of dirthy water, a souses it full in me face, which made me spit and splutter like a throttled cat. So, finding I was no match for he r ' I runs into me own place, but she follows with a large tater in her fist, which she threw bang in me eye, and knocke d me down, and I hope yer worchup, sir, will punish her W ell for it, jist to tache her not to do the like agen. Mr. SHUTT—I don't see the mark. Mrs. Murphy—Och, but your worchup can see this tater ; here it is—let it spake for itself now. She here e % ; hibited a huge red potato, but, being of the mealy-mouth ea sort, it made no speech, and consequently rendered no 04 sistance in explaining the affair. Mr. SHUTT—How many of you live in this house ? grs" Murphy—Only jist a few of us—not more than fifty or se . t Mr. SHUTT dismissed the case, telling Mrs. M u rphy th s a if she wished to avoid " taters" and " agitators," she 13° better move from such a colony. L A MBET H- STREET. Mr. Taylor, a st6ck-broker, residing in Bartholome", lane, applied for a search warrant. The applicant state' that his confidential clerk, named Burn, had absconded in f August last with cash and bank notes to th© amolo t , ° 4,0001., and had escaped to America. He (Mr. T A Y I° I had since -learnt that Burn's wife had changed a nun l i be .., of notes, which he had no doubt were part of the Pltj," dered property ; and as she was that night about tail her departure for America he wished for a warrant search her boxes. Mr. Norton having ascertained thl i. Mr. Taylor could not swear to the number of any of th a stolen notes, thought there was not sufficient ground to warrant magisterial interference. Mr. Taylor tl:on left the office, declaring that he wou l t give the woman in charge on his own responsibility ; bd he had not returned when the office closed. N ON- HA LL. James Stevens, a weather-beaten tar, was charged by Mcndicity Society's officers with pretending to be blind, 5C e . standing with his hat in his hand asking relief. The pri s c ) l e ' said he had come off a long voyage, and seeing six of ip press-gang on the look out, he made up his mind that the, wanted to "grab" him ; and in order to prevent their.taYl him on board a man-of-war, he stood bolt upright 00 °6 0 - the wall, with his eyes closed, to make them believe be,'`','l‘ a cripple, and had lost his sight. The Magistrate, on promising to be off to sea, discharged him.
