PitEPAIZATION's for the GENERAL ELECT lON. • The provineif.l papers and our own correspondence received to-day, furedsh the following intelligence relative to the cp ' proachinti ele ct i ons : , Noe , n LANCASHIRE.—A correspondent, who is an elets..tee of N'arth Lancashire, writes as follows from Birmingham :-- " It nas been a matter of considerahle eurprise and regret to a ~r .ry numerous body of the electors of the northern division of this county, that no steps have been taken to oppose the t seam of Lord S tan l ey at t h e f ort h com i ng elections. sMost cer erain it is that r, candidate of nucomprotelsing liberal prin eiples would not only be acceptable, but would meet with Revery support and undoubted success. The provoking and ;dastardly Parliamentary conduct of our present repreitesentive, i lad the repeatedly tried and unshaken attachment to liberal reaseres, which distinguish and animate the electors of the nor eery, division, call loudly for active and immediate steps to tseure the return of some representative, who would esti seal for our local interests to sound views and right Votes on hose great questions of national police, which all real Re formers wish to see speedily carried into ;Beet." BATll.—General Palmer and Mr. Roebuck met their con atituents at a public meeting on Thursday evening, held at the Guildhall. The latter gentleman inveighed with his usual sarcastic bitterness against the principles and conduct of the Conservative party. Elis happiest efforts were, however ) di rected against the practice of opening beer-shopt and pot )houses to treat the electors, a practice, he acid, the more re prehensible and scandalous, because it was adopted by a perty who were perpetually- stunning the ears of Parliament with - petitions end invectives against them. This cite will soon be the scene el a tremendously sharp election conflict, and there will be no less than three parties to the battle. There is not a question but that many of the most exemplary and respectable men, both as to property and intelligence, electors of this bo rough, have been, of late, compelled to withhold their veteis altogether, from the fact of not finding a candidate breught forward wham they could conacientiously and cordially sup port. They are of that class who, fur the most part, ap ;DI disposed toth the attribute i)r ine'.p prin c i p l es of f r 1 the clow presentprocrre progress io ameliorating Ministry, theare institutions of the country to the right cause. —namely, the ss rietermined resistance which they have had to encounter from one ultra party opposed to them, and the mischievous and revolutionary doctrines promulgated by another ultra itc:section, eho rotes to be, on most occas i ons, their friends p and ).bettors. These electors are indifferent to the ballot, are decidedly opposed to a Reform of the Lords, to the volun tary principle, to annual Parliaments, universal suffrage, or ''o any of those convulsive schemes and rash experiments, the object, or, at least, the tendency of which would be to con !.. found the orders of society, and bring all property into jeopardy. To these notions and doctrines the Melbourne ir Cabinet end many of their highly -gifted supporters, such as s Dr. L us hi ngton and others, have expressed their most em phatic and unqualified dissent, their principle and rule of kaction bei ng mere l y so to purify and adapt the existing insti e, tutions to the spirit of the times, as to render them available rs• and serviceable to all classes, and, by these means, to unite all classes in their defence and support. The want of a candidate with t h ese rational and temperate notions of ,' reform, p revente d nearly eight hundred most respectable . electors from recording their votes at the last election, 5 7 and, we believe, we are justified in affirming that, were ; it not for the appearance of Captain Scobcll in the field of r-. 1..,, contest, they would follow the same course in the forthcoming election —not considering either Mr. Ludlow Bruges or Lord - Povrerscourt on the one hand, or General Palmer and Mr. Roebuck on the other, to reflect their sentiments or likely to b , promote their wishes. —Bath Herald. A Correspondent, in allusion to the deceits and foul influ ence employed by the Bath Tories, writes :—" They say we must have Gentlemen to sepresent us—men who will spend plenty of money in Bath, and the like. And having bounti fully graced these noble sentiments, they may be seen emerg ing from their dens of corruption at 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning, shouting " Povverscourt and Bruges for ever." By , such means they think to become favourites of the people, I p but it will not d o; they cannot so soon forget the Tories or I 1) pr esent represeetation. This new-born respect for the lower ord ers on l y shows the weakness of their cause." EAST RETFORD. — Th e H on. Arthur Duncombe, one of the restent Members for Bassetlaw, has announced his intention !of again soliciting the suffrages of the electors at the ensuing election; and we understand that G. H. Vernon, Esq., will shortly do the same. We are not aware that any opposition whatever will be offered against their re-election. With re spect to the north division of the county, a contest appears to be almost inevitable. We have heard that Col. Wildman, s,S of New s t ea d Abb ey, was to oppose one of the present Mem bers; Lord W. Bentinck, the present member for Glasgow, "has also been named. A requisition to G. S. Foljambe, Esq., has been got up, and a considerable number of signatures (up ,wards of 500) has been attached. We are informed that he i t S has stated, on condition that the requisition should be signed #, o numerously and respectably as to give hopes of any chance •of suc cess , h e i s ready at once to take the field. Mr. Houlds cr worth intends to come forward and contest the division. Mr. 4 Gaily Knight will also, it is stated, come forward as his colleague. t ' . NORTH LINCOLNSITIRE.—Mr. Corbett, the Conservative -`, Member for North Lincolnshire, announces his intention to withdraw at the ensuing dissolution of Parliament. Lord 4 Worsley is in the field. in LYNN.—Lord George Bentinek and Sir Stratford Canning, 1 our present Members, have each of them issued an address to their constituents, declaring their intention, upon the dissolu tion of Parliament, to offer themselves again to represent the ; town of Lynn, upon the principles of Conservative improve- Vs mcnt. Major Keppel, of the opposite party, has also addressed Fe the electors, announcing himself as a candidate for their suf . - ' e ;rages at the ensuing election. r_ CAMIAIDGR.—The University, it is apprehended, will su einely submit to the infliction of its present Conservative r. Members. The town, it appears, is to be disturbed by the : pretensi ons o f M r. Knight, and those of the Hon. Mr. ''', Manners Sutton. Is this last-named young gentleman the in lividual whose dandyism and extravagant follies have earned e 'or him so eminent a name amongst fops and ladies of a certain stamp ? SIIIMP!IIIIRE.—A base and infamous appea has been mad e l ie to the e l ectors of Shropshire, by a wretched an '`...: paper—th e Salopian Journa/—cellin,g upon d obscure the electors for , " aid i n extr i cating the Queen from the scarcelled .* Republican Ministry, the enemies of the Throne and s the r country, by w h om she is at resent surrounded." Th e Minis ...,- resent , ters of the late King are called a " despicable Ministry," and P.' the inference is that the Queen of England in continuing that Ministry has adopted a " despicable " course. The obscure , newspaper, to wlfich we allude with disgust, declares itself the te organ of the " is 'd Shrop s hi re Cl ergy, " although its editor is a 1 issente r , or a renegade Dissenter. The freeholders of Shropshire will consult their own dignity and characters, and shape their course accordingly. If t h ey d eem i t proper and r !oyal that the twelve representatives of Shropshire shall all be opposed to their Sovereign, and t o t h e genera l f eelings of the whole kingdoae the freeholders in Shropshire may continue to he pointed at in all parts of th e Ki ng d om as a s i ngular-- the sol o — gam three kin ple of want of S pi r i t an d i n d ependence in the ki n g Chron'cle. SIIREWSBUR/.--.Mr. Slane y is the only candidate for this town. Messengers and invitations to four Tory gentlemen have been sent, bu: the Conservative Committee have p e pp ere d 1 :heir tools too mueh—th e bli ster is remembered by them. Sir eielin Hanme i )s ill not come again, which h e announced soon titer his first eleetien. —Mel. W ALES.—W e h ave not vet heard of any election contests in Wales, except that a struggle will be made to throw nut - leservrely Sir S. C;lynne, in Flint.

W illiam Jones Is said to scheme to entrap the Flintshire electors, and I''s will rrubably be punished for it in the Denbighshire boroughs. i's ' ibid. ' • STOCKPOR.T.—It appears there are two fresh candides sa i n . the honour of representing Stockport —Mr. Samuel c 'toeiss ‘. , of Heaton Mersey, and Mr. Richard Cobden, or -Nianches'er The present Representatives are also candi';ates. The To ' ri • I .iave transmitted a requisition to Mr. Egerton, requesting him to come forward for a renewal ( a enjoys. bury, cKs -0 0 )he honour he at present Floth for the county, and the boroughs of Ayles Buckingham, Wycombe, and Marlovr, the candid Ate; f numerous. Hato-nee and Nugent, Chetwode and Verney, a re rzPraed and Riekfor.!,, arc the candidates for the borough whilst the county has in the field the sitting Members,thC Nlarquis',of Chandos, G. S. Hareourt—and, besides, a Mr. Law rence, 71 thorough-going, Torv. .1 BILD:ORD.—( From our own Correspondent. )_This town was yesterday all on the qui vive. The several candidates, : having hitherto been quiet, appear to have acted spontane. . ously, and though we were in doubt before as to whether there would be any contest, that doubt is now removed. Mr. Sam. Crawley, a t h orough-going good working Liberal, is to be op - posed by a M r . R. S tuart, a " Church and Ki ng man, " whose 0 address teems with Toryism, and whose delight is to uphold the " Constitution as it is by law established." " It is strongly suspected here that Mr. Stuart is only brought _ ro r i:a c rd 4p n t o t :iv n b i e l ca s us li the e a s l u i c t c h e e ss o o t f he C r ap4 , a e i r rl es Polhill w who o is h a doubtful, ere r represented either this borough or its county, spent his money, and became poor, and attempts are now being made to pitch him to the wall. There are, however, some well-disposed— some grateful Tories, who are disgusted with those who wish to oust a man who contested the representation when no ether Tory could be found that had the courage to vote for Polhill, let what will be the consequence. Whether this split—for a split it is, will long continue, is questionable, but if it do the return of Mr. Crawley by a triumphant majority may be pro nounced beyond the shadow of a doubt. " All the candidates yesterday issued their addresses, and the town has begun to exhibit something like the bustle conse quent en a contested election. It is believed that another Liberal will come out to stand with Mr. Crawley, 'though it .is uncertain wh o w ill b e the man. Mr. Whitbread, our former representative stands no chance, and he will not, it is believed e: i lagain attempt to gain the representation. His habits are pe nurious, and he does not often visit the town, although his Veber and himself represented it a great number of years. "?The Duke of Bedford gives the whole of his powerful support to Mr. Crawley. " In the county nothing is doing. The only two candidates are Lord Charles James Fox Russell and Lord Alford. It is not supposed that there will be a n y a tt empt made to alter the 4 present state of things, as both parties say that they are per , fectly satisfied." '-sis e LYNN.—Our Reform candidate, Major Keppel, arrived urthis morning, and an active canvass has commenced in his in - terest upon the principles expressed by our young Queen, and repeated in his address. • COVENTRY.—The sitting Members, Mr. Ellice and Mr. WilFains. are up end stirrirg. There are two essential points on ntiieh both Mr. Ellice and Mr. Wil:iams are agreed. '1 he firil is, that the coun ry has at preset an hon'es{ Administra tion ; and the second is, that on th'e.creat 'An'd leading ques tions of policy both , *c4norted this Administration by their votes..--I'=f'oi:ithti'y Herald'.

Ab out twelve o'clock on the same d.-iy Sir J. Cartuc offered his services as a sorpertet' of Car present Majesty' s Ministers, and at On tequest of nume rous friends. Agai n , at four o'clock ) Sir 13. W. Bridget mh•le his appearance, and nitil a few of the remnants bf Mr, Price's friends immeditZely commenced A canvass. Mr. Price has alto arrived. SHIELDS, SOUTH,-.-Sir William Chaytor, an ardent Re• former, stetrta against Mr. R. Ingham, who is a rot tit billy- T,cy Member. SUOTHAMPTON.-I.orq Duncan, on the side of Reform, has addressed the tirttors of this town with the fajrctt hopes of succes*, Mr. Hay and Mr. Dotten Rrt tt"g".lh) proposed on the side or the Tories. STAFFORDSHITZR, Noktit.—Sir F. L. L. Goodricke retires, Lord Inicei!ttlii is a candidate, and it is understood that a se cond Tory will start. SUFFOLK, WEST.—Mr. Logan is making a very active can vass. Col. Reshbrooke, the other Tory, is also in the field. SUFAr,T, WEST.—Messrs. Dennison end Long, the Reform candidates, are making an active Canvass. SUSSEX, EAST.—.III* Tories talk of bringing forward a candidate to en pose the sitting Members, and have mentioned the nemea of Lord Cantelupe, the eldest on of Lord Dela warr, Mr. Fuller, of Rpsehill, and the defeated Mr. Darby. If the Reformers use but proper activity no Tory will have the least chance. CIIELTENtinxt.—At length the Tories have found a candi date to oppose the Hon. Captain Berkeley's return, in the person of the Hon. Spencer Law, brother of Lord Ellenbo rough. This is the same Hon. Gentleman who lately bolted from Ten kesbury. The Reformers of Cheltenham will give him a warm reception. COCKERMOUTIL —Messrs. Sim and Saneton have com menced an active canvass. CUMBRRLAND, WEST.—Sir James Graham will certainly be opposed and ousted. The Reformers of this county could not find a better colleague for Mr. James than Major Aglionbv. LEOMINSTER.—Mr. Charles Greenaway, of Barrington grove, is a third candidate in the Liberal interest, and has re ceived the support of many of Mr. Bish's friends, who are dis satisfied with him. The Reformers should be careful that no division in their own ranks may have the effect of letting in a Tory. LICIIFIELD.—There is at present no opposition to General Anson and Sir E. D. S co t t . KIDDERMINSTEIL—We are glad to hear, on good authority, that Mr. Godson (the Tory) will not be allowed to walk over for this borough. KNARESBOROUGIL—The success of the Liberal cause is certain ; the return of Mr. Rich and Mr. Langdale is secure. LAMBETH.—The Tories intend to start two candidates, of whom Mr. Charles Baldwin is to be one. The Knight of Kerry has retired. LANCASHIRE, SOUTII.—Lord Francis Egerton and the Hon. Bootle Wilbraham are up again for this country, and are op posed by the Reformer Mr. Edward Stanley, of Crosse-hall, of whose success there is no doubt. W. 0. Stanley, Esq., arrived at Holyhead late on the night of the 27th ult. Since then he has been busily engaged in visiting his constituents. The reception he has met with from them is a sure token of a glorious victory at the ensuing election. DROITWICH (I).—Mr. Barneby having withdrawn, Mr. Parkington will be a candidate to succeed him in the same (Tory) interest. He will be opposed by Mr. Galton, who presents himself to the electors as an advocate for Liberal measures. DURHAM COUNTY, NORTH (2).—Mr. Hedworth Lambton's ' return for the North Division is certain. Sir Hedworth liamson retires; in anticipation of which event Mr. H. Lid. dell, the eldest son of Lord Ravensworth, has been miming the Division for some weeks past. Mr. Hutt, M. P. for Hull, declined the requisition of the Liberal party, being unwilling to leave his present friends and supporters. Mr. Townley was averse to the fatigues of a Parliamentary life ; but surely there cannot be wanting a proper man to head the Liberal cause, in a county which once returned Lord Durham to Parliament. FALMOUTH AND PENRYN (2).—Lieutenant Gladstone, R.N., brother to Mr. Gladstone, M.P., is mentioned as the second Tory candidate. GLOUCESTERSHIRE, WEST (2).--Mr. Blagden Hale again starts on Tory principles. GLOUCESTER, CITY (2).—The contest between Mr. Phil potts, the Reformer, and the present Tory Member, Mr. Hope, will probably be severe ; but if the Reformers pull well toge ther, which they did not do last time, Messrs. Berkeley and Philpotts will be returned. BRIDONORTII—The sitting Members, Messrs. Whitmore and Piggott, will be opposed by Mr. Tracy Leigh, son of the Member for Tewkesbury. The following particulars of the preparations in progress for the general election in Yorkshire, are furnished by the Yerh shireman Newspaper : Mr. Cawley has very many claims upon the support of the electors of the North Riding, although he certainly does not agree with us in our views. The Tory Member, the Hon. Mr. Duncombe, has declared his intention of retiring, and Lord Milton is mentioned on the Liberal side. Mr. Walker, of Sand-Hutton, has been very busy with the Rev. Danson R. Currer, and some other of the York Tories connected with the Ridin g , but that gentleman has already, we appre hend, had sufcient experience of the electors of the North Riding. Mr. Merritt, of Rokeby, and the son of Mr. Fenn taine Wilson, are spoken of on the Tory side. Nothing has, however, yet been determined on. We have just heard that Mr. Duncombe has withdrawn his resignation, and will positively stand. EAST RIDING.—PauI Bcilby Thompson, Esq., of Escrick Park, is too staunch a Reformer, too well known and confided in by his constituents, to afford any chance to my Lord Hotham, whom the Tories threaten to bring into the field. A commu nication from a correspondent at Pocklington will be found elsewhere, which speaks for the feelings of the electors there on the subject. It is stated, however, we believe without authority, that Constable Maxwell, Esq. will oppose the Tory Candidate, R. Bethell, Esq. WEST RIDING.—We are gratified to be able to point to-day to the addresses of Lord Morpeth and Sir George Strickland. Now we shall see where is all the "re-action" in favour of the Wortleys. Of those representatives we need say no more, than that they arc, perhaps above any others in the county, entitled to the support of the Reformers. Lord Morpeth, as a member of the Government, and as a Member of Parliament, has won the admiration of his friends, and the respect of his enemies. John S. Wortley, it is said, will come forward—to be ex tremely well beaten out if he does so. Ls:rms.—The return of Mr. Baines and Sir W. Molesworth is certain. Mr. 13.:ines has the esteem and respect of all who know him, and there is not a more consistent and high-minded man in England than Sir William. BaveaLev.—Mr. Burton, the Liberal, retires. MAuroN.—lt is doubtful whether Lord Milton will come , forward again. Mr. Childers, however, will have a Reform , colleague. lit'LL.—We shall have no change here. Col. Thompson is an honriur to the town, and the electors arc fully satisfied with Mr. Hutt. YORK Cm.--The Tories have been frightening the town from its propriety this week. We have been told of " wars aril rumours of wars." They threaten us that Mr. Sergeant Atcherley, Mr. Preston of Moreby, Mr. Walker of Sand Hutton, the Marquis of Douro, and we don't know how many beside, are coming forward. The York Tories, no doubt, are very anxious to find some new goose to pluck, as poor Mr. Lowther, we suppose, is tired of paying for his scat. The fate, however, of Sir Mark Sykes and Lord Howden, Col. Wilson and Mr. Bayntuil, will be a warning to the Learned Sergeant, Mr. Preston, and Mr. Walker. The Marquis of Douro, being a soldier, perhaps will not be daunted at bleed ing. For our own part, we only laugh at the Tories ; any attempt to disturb Mr. Dundas will only rebound upon their own heads. LEED3.-Mr. Baines has addressed the electors, declaring his intention to solicit a renewal of their suffrages. It is said that Sir William Molesworth will encounter a brisk but not an effectual opposition. Sir J. Becket, who beat Mr. Baines and Mr. W. B rougham in darker days, will, it is thought, be at the bottom of the poll. RUTLAND (County).—lt is said that Sir Gerard Noel will retire from the representation of the county of Rutland, on ac count of his great age. It is added, that his son-in-law, Staf ford O'Brien, Esq., of Blatherwick Park, will be the candi date in the Noel interest, and that he will be opposed by Lord Thomas Cecil, in the interest of his brother, the Marquis of Exeter. The contest between these parties and Sir Gilbert Ileathcote's for Rutland, it is thought, will be severo ; and it is morally certain that it will lead to an opposition to Lord Exe ter in Stamford, by a gentleman of influence in the neigh bourhood. FLINTSHIRE.—Tho Tories having everything prepared have had a good start in the canvass, but it will avail them little. The old staunch Whigs have rallied round their popular Mem ber; and on the 27th a very influential meeting took place at Ilolywell. The following letter from that old, tried, and con sistent Reformer, Colonel Wynne, is worthy of his devotion to the cause Sir—ln reply to your letter of the 23d inst. lam concerned to say my infirm state of health prevents my attending on the the 27th, but I confess I have only on e t h oug h t upon the sub ject of th e l e tt ers you mention. Sir , Stephen Glynne and Sir John lianmer have thrown down the glove ; let us not hesitate a moment, every Whig, Reformer, or Radical, to unite hand and heart to support our excellent spirited Member, the Hon. E. M. Loyd Mostyn, whose conduct has been uniformly steady and consistent, and we shall not have any reason to fear either their menaces or threats. I have the honour to be, Sir, Y Garthewin, J une 23, 18 37our obedient Servant, ROI3T• NV. W YNNE.

Mr. Dillwyn, our much-respected Member, has found it ne cessary, from ill health, to retire from the representation of thiS kioUtity t. 4 _t the .blose of the preseßt Parliament. Nid his id- edniifiii6 the .ei'l•We hf 104 ..!en7ti tuents, he would have been re-elected by an overwhelming majority against any candidate brought forward upon principles adverse to civil and religious liberty. The Reformers of this county are firm in their principles, and ate !Iry tO Announce in our next a candidate worthy of being a colleague of otir 61- tenant Member, Mr. Talbot, as meetings are about being held for that desi ra bl e o bj ect . Th e T or i es, after numerous fruit less attempts, have at length pfetailed upon Lord Adare, a young Nobleman of little note or standing in the county, to become a candidate for the suffrages of the honest and liberal electors of the county of Glamorgan. Of Lord Adare we know but little. His father, Lord Dunra'-en, has always pro fessed Liberal principles ; and if those professions be sincere, can view with little pleasure the determination of his son. We have no doubt that not a stone will be left unturned by the Tories to secure the election of their protege; but we trust, the electors of Glamorgan will view in its proper light the at tempt to palm on them an inexperienced young man—the tool of a party--and bestir themselves to select from among them selves a good, honest, thorough-paced Reformer. For the boroughs of Swansea, Cardiff, and Merthyr, we hear of no op position. For Breconshire, Colonel Wood and Major Hot ford are the declared candidates. For the borough of Bre con, Mr. Lloyd, of Dinas, has avowed his intention to come forward as a staunch Reformer, in opposition to the present Member. It is reported that the county of Carmarthen will bo again contested by Mr. Jones, in opposition to Sir James Williams. For the borough of Carmarthen, Mr. David Mor ris is a candidate in opposition to Mr. D. Lewis, the present Member, and a warns contest will be the result.—Cambrian. LINCOLN. —Mr. Henry Ellis, the half- Reform, half-Tory candidate, who five years ago offered Mr. E. L. Bulwer all the support he could afford him in the Earl of Ripon's in terest, and three months' since announced his intention of opposing the same Mr. Bulwer, has made a premature exit, leaving the town in the midst of his canvass under pre tence that he was wanted in London on pressing business. The fact is, Mr. Ellis could not get a committee of more than three individuals, and was obliged to throw himself into the embraces of Colonel Sibthorp's "guardian" so ciety, before he could get half a dozen votes promised. No man ever pursued a canvass with less chances of success. It is believed he is now gone to look out for some other bo rough in which the Earl of Ripon is supposed to have a little interest, and that he will not be again seen in Lin coln. The Tories have been making a handle of the Poor-law unions, and, we are sorry to say, so strong has been the prejudice infused into the poor freemen, that several votes which would otherwise have been Liberal, will be lost by it. There is, however, no fear as to the result. Mr. E. L. Bulwer will certainly be a long way at the head of the poll. The contest will be between our whiskered Colonel ( Sib thorp) and Colonel Churchill, a young gentleman of great talent and ver y lib era l pr i nc i p l es, wo has met with the warmest support from the blues, and stands an excellent chance of being returned. Colonel Sibthorp's buffoonery, which he has been showing off during the canvass, has be gun to disgust even those who were formerly paid two sove reigns for their votes. Colonel Sibthorp and Mr. Henry Ellis were so anxious to enter upon their canvass before Mr. Bulwer, that they booked themselves in the mail in the names of Jones and Smith, hoping thereby to prevent its be ing known in town and coming to the ears of Mr. Bulwer. WESTMINSTER.—Sir F. Burdett has declined coming for ward again. Sir G. Murray, whom he takes occasion to eulogize, is in the field, from which there is no doubt he will be driven by General Evans and Mr. Leader, whose combined forced forces insure success. In pursuance of a resolution passed at a public meeting of Westminster Electors, a depu tation waited on Lord John Russell on Saturday morning, to request his Lordship to become a candidate for the represen sation of Westminster. The deputation was very cordially received; but we understand his Lordship declined the honour, as two candidates in the Reform interest have announced them selves—namely General Evans and Mr. Leader. CITY OF LONDON.—Arrangements of an extensive descrip tion, by most influential parties, are making in the City to secure the return of the present four Members, Messrs. Ward, Crawford, Grote, and Paulson. It has been determined to call a public meeting ; which, however, it has been agreed to defer till after the funeral of the late King, when it will im mediately take place. - . , tut- the. next.

Thb ilniiillOti tttlii iiirilid on the spot by tcVqrat iiiithirc4 i3r Pat .ectors, and arrange ments Were 't i i lr_!k; N . . an immediate canvas of the borough, .''.glen was commenced on the following day, and has been car ried on through the week with unabated seal by both parties. We underst an d t h at t h e canvass i ng committees of Messrs. Collier and Bewes have met with the most encouraging recep tion from the electors, amongst whom they have hot been able to discover any symptoms of that reaction of which so much has been said, and, judging from the returns hitherto made, their seats are considered as secure. The Conservatives also speak with great confidence of success.—Chronicle. GLOUCESTER.—The friends of Mr. Phillpotts have an nounced their intention of putting him in nomination for the city of Gloucester. Capt. Berkeley and Mr. Hope will again be candidates. The contest will be severe. TEWKESBURY.—The Hon. Mr. Law will not contest Tewkesbury ; Mr. Martin and Mr. Dowdeswell arc at present the only candidates. CIRENCESTER.—The Reformers of Cirencester have re solved on inviting General Sir John Wright Guise, Bart., to stand for the representation of that borough, and to request him to vote in Parliament for the full measure of Reform. ST ROUD.—Lord John Russell has addressed the electors of Stroud, soliciting a renewal of the trust reposed in him. EAST CUMBERLAND.—We have heard of no demonstrations in Westmorland. Report once said that Sir James Graham was to be inflicted upon us. Lord Lonsdale, we suppose, will save us from that disgrace. We had better be as we are, than be misrepresented by that most unblushing of all apostates. We rejoice that an opposition is being organized against him in East Cumberland. A Requisition has been presented to F. Aglionby, Esq., of Nunnery, to offer himself as a candidate in conjunction with Mr. James. It is signed by the Howards of Greystoke and Corby Castle, Mr. Marshall, of Halsteads, Mr. Crackanthorpe of Newbiggin, Mr. Aglionby, M. P., and many others of well-known respectability and influence. Mr. Aglionby has consented to come forward, when 2,000 electors have signed it. The requisition well delineates the character of the Netherby Baronet, his inconsistency, and his gradual march into the depths of Conservatism. At Cockermouth, in 1831, he complained of the nullification of his vote by his colleague, Sir John Lowther. In 1835, he said of Sir Robert Peel's Ministry, "it is as bad in its composition as I can well imagine —for it is entirely composed of men to whom, and to whose measures, I have all my life been opposed ;" and now he joins those very men and supports those very measures. If there be any virtue in the East Cumberland Constituency, they will discard him for ever.—Kendal Mercury. WETMOUTIL—Four candidates are already in the field, viz., Messrs. Buxton and Burdon, and Lord Villiers and Mr. Hope. WILTSHIRE, SOUTH. —Mr. Bennett is threatened with an opposition, on account of his disinterested support of the Church-rate Bill.—There is, however, little hope for the Tories in this quarter. WILTSHIRE, NOhTII. —Messrs. Methuen and Long are safe. WINCHESTER.—Three candidates are in the field—Mr. Paulet St. John Mildmay, a Whig, who was defeated at the last election by Bingham Baring; Mr. J. B. East, and Mr. B. Escott, the rejected of Somerset—both of whom profess Con. servative principles. WOLVERHAMPTON—Mr. Groves, who had offered himself as a Conservative, in connection with Mr. Benbow, has with drawn. WORCESTER, EAST. —At a meeting at Droitwich, it was resolved to put Mr. Horace St. Paul and Mr. Barneby (two Tories) in nomination for this division. The Liberal can didates, Mr. Holland and Mr. Hodgetts Foley are in the field. Wycomae.—Mr. G. H. Dashwood has announced himself here, in place of one of the present Members who retires ; Mr. Dashwood is a Reformer, and contested on the last election the county of Bucks, in opposition to the Chandos interest. Wateeetgen.—Daniel Gaskell, Esq., M. P., has issued a spirited address, offering himself a third time in the cause of Reform. Mr. Sebright Lascelles has also issued an address on the Tory side. A sharp contest is expected. PONTEFRACT.—It is rumoured that Richard Milnes, Esq. of Fryston Hall, Edwin Lascelles, E3q., of Harewood-house, and Lord Pollington, of Methley-park (one of the present Members) intend to cffer themselves as candidates for the bo rough of Pontefract. Mr. Gully retires. NOTTINGIII M. —WC are frequently asked by the electors of this town, who and what is this Mr. Horace Twiss, who has the temerity to contest the town, or rather to convass it with that object ? We partly answered the question in our last Review, and showed that in the boroughmongering Parlia ment, the gentleman was one of the rankest opponents of the Reform Bill, and was afterwards thrown out of Parliament, when Miss Holmes's borough of Newport was put into its proper schedule under the provisions of that Bill. BaftesTaPLE.—Our Conservative Member, Major Fancourt, has announced his intention to retire, from ill health. It is said, on good authority, that D'lsraeli, the quondam " Whig and something more," will be brought forward as a candidate in the Major's room. Two or three other gentlemen are spo ken of as candidates under the same (Tory) interest, but the reports are not quite definite enough to warrant the mention of their names. Mr. Chi c h es t er ' s re t urn i s b eyon d d oubt. WINCIIRSTER. —On Saturday evening a meeting of the sup. porters of Paulet St. John Mildmay, Esq. took place at the Globe Inn, when resolutions were passed expressive of surprise at Mr. Bickham Escott's soliciting the suffrages of the elec tors, and of confidence in the political integrity of Mr. Mildmay. SANDWICH. The Queen's Government will gain a Member here. Sir James Carnac, the Chairman of the East India Company, arrived on Thursday, and proceeded to canvass both this town and Deal with the most flattering prospects of suc cess. At both places he addressed large bodies of the elec tors, and the exposition of his principles was received with the greatest enthusiasm. There can be no doubt that he will be the colleague of Sir Thomas Troubridge. WARWICK BOROUGH. —ln referring to the addresses of Mr. Collins and Mr. Bolton King, returning thanks for the very successful canvass they have made through the Borough, the Leamington Chronicle says :—" Thus far they have walked over the ground without impediment; and if men arc endowed with consciences sufficiently firm to keep the promises already made—if they are not prone to deceive both their friends and themselves—if they can resist temptations and lures, in eltatever shape they may he offered--the re. election of both the present Members for Warwick is secured. For the last week a variety of names of expected Conservative candidates have been passed front one to another ; but it has, up to yesterday, been mere sound without substance. No gentleman in the neighbourhood could he induced to stand forward ; for the gentlemen of the neighbourhood may be supposed to be tolerably well aware of the unpromising pros pect. At length, however, a stranger to the town (Sir Chas. Douglas) has entered boldly into the chance, and he arrived among us yesterday ; and yet another good Tory (Mr. Boughton Leigh, a county magistrate, living near Rugby) is willing, we understand, to teats the electors and try his luck. We are assured he will enter the town this morning in style.' There is, then, to be a contest at last. We shall soon know what will be the result. All we know at present is, that two anti-Reformers are apparently determined to struggle against the full tide of Reform principles, now be come strong in the honest minds of the Warwick electors. The Dwarf challenges Hercules I Let there be fair play, and if all men be honest we know how the contest will end. SI:NDEELA ND. —Since our last publication there has been considerable electioneering excitement in this town. In com pliance with a requisition, signed by nearly 600 of the electors of the borough of Sunderland, Andrew White, Esq., our worthy Chief Magistrate, has been induced to offer himself as a candidate for its representation. The address which he has issued, and which has been most extensively circulated, has given great satisfaction to the constituency from the libe rality of the sentiments which .it avows. He has since can vassed the town, and the result is such as not to leave the shadow of a doubt that he will eventually be returned by a large majority. He was every where received with enthusi asm. • The professional friends of Mr. David Barclay have Also made an active canvass, and they are sanguine in their anticipations of success. Indeed, when it is recollected that Mr. David Barclay has been a staunch supporter of the pre sent Administration, upon the strength of' his professed adhe sion to which he carried his last election; it will be admitted that it was not likely that he should experience any declen sion of zeal and devotion amongst the constituency. The friends of Mr. Alderman Thompson, too, have acted with equal promptitude and diligence ; and if their own declarations are to be relied upon, the success of the Hon. Alderman is beyond the reach of contingency. Some squibs and handbills have been circulated by the various ?artizans, and every thing wears the aspect of a severe and determined struggle. The prevailing opinion seems to be, that Mr. Barclay and the Mayor will be the winning candidates. For ourselves, we would deem it premature to speak with confidence as to the final result.—Sunderland Herald. GREENWICIL-Admiral Napier, the gallant liberator of Portugal, has arrived here ; he is to meet the electo rs at t hi s place, Deptf or d, an d W oo l w ich, and there is no doubt of his success. The veterans of the Hospital arc in high glee at the prospect of a sailor's return. EAST SERREY.—Two Reformers will start for this division, and there is ample strength to carry them both. Mr. Loche King, nephew of Lord Ebrington, and son of the lat e L or d King, wh ose p o li t i cs an d name he inherits, has bean requested to stand, and will be warmly supported. EAST CUMPERLAND.—A very influential requisition has been yresented to Major Aglionby, in conjunction with Mr. James, to come forward as candidates at the ensuing election, in opposition to Sir James Graham. Our Chippenham correspondent writes—" Mr. Neeld and Capt. Bolder° will again be returned at th e next e l ect i on f or this Borough. The friends of the Gallant Captain have com menced an active canvass with every prospect of success. Tho SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH.--Neither change nor opposition is expected. EDINBUROIISIIIRE.—Mr. Gibson Craig opposes Sir George Clerk, and will beat him. GREENOCK.—So far as we have heard, there is not likely to be any contest in Greenock—the business habits and industry of Mr. Wallace having secured to that gentleman the appro bation of many who disapprove of his general politics in various respects. In the county, as yet, no candidate has come for ward to oppose the sitting Member, whose friends have for some days past been carrying on an active canvass. We know of no man so likely to regain Renfrewshire to the Whigs as Captain Houston Stewart, the brother of the late Member; but it is doubted by many whether be would be inclined to in cur the expense attendant upon a contest. How far this is cor rect we are not able to give an opinion ; but we feel persuaded that by no other Reform candidate could the attempt be made at less cost, or with better prospect of success.—Greenock Advertiser. GLASGOW.—No public or direct announcement has been made by either party—the registrations chiefly occupying the time of both. PAISLEY is in the same situation, and at present there is no likelihood of Mr. Hastie being opposed. GREENOCK, also, we understand, will not be disturbed by a con test. KILMARNOCK BURGHS.—Dr. Bowring, it is now said. is to be opposed by Captain Montgomery Hamilton, Saint Colqu houn having found Kilmarnock, like Perth, unwilling to have anything to do with him. The Captain had better imitate the Saint's example, and retire in time. AYR BURGIIIL—Mr. Johnston redeems his pledge to stand for these Burghs, and will be returned. LANARKSIIIRR.--Mr. Lockhart is canvassing this county on the Tory interest ; but so hopelessly that he is already half-in clined to retire. The Courier's " negation" receives little positive encouragement. RENFREWSIIIRE.—We fancy that the Liberals here are so heartily ashamed of their past misdeeds that they will not enter the field ; they have indeed abundant cause of being ashamed of themsel►es. DUMBARTONSIIIRE.—Mr. Dennistoun's delicate health will compel him to retire ; but it is understood that Sir James Col quhoun, the Lord Lieutenant, the most extensive proprietor in the county, and a firm Liberal, will stand in his place. The Tory, Mr. Smollett, supported by his father and friend, Sir A. Campbell, who devide betwixt them nearly the whole govern ment taxes of the county, in the shape of pension or pay, without service will, we have heard, oppose Sir James. He may save himself the trouble and expense. STIRLINGSIIIRE.—Another Tory " negation" of the Courier, Mr. Forbes, is to be opposed by Colonel Abercromby, the son of Lord Abercromby, and nephew of the Speaker, an able and active Liberal who, according to present appearances, will beat the " negation." Avastriart.—Mr. Dunlop encounters the opposition of Sir Charles Lamb, the husband of Lord Eglinton's mother, who drove his tenantry to the poll at last election, and watched them, and who, in Lanarkshire, adopted the most persecuting measures against any of his dependants who voted against M. Lockhart. He will be as soundly drubbed as his Tory pre cursor, Sir John Cathcart. ARGTLESIURR.—CampbeII of Islay will again be opposed by Campbell of Monsie, and with the same result. PERTHSHIRE—Lord Stormont's opposition to the Honour able Fox Malik, lags already—the rejected of Norwich " stinks in the nostrils" of the majority of the constituency as Reform stunk in his own. LEITK.—The Lord Advocate will again represent this town. Mr. T. A. Mitchell announces his intention to stand when ever a vacancy occurs, as also the Honourable James Erskine Murray. BERWICKSHIRE. —The present Tory Member, Sir Hugh Campbell, is likely to retain his scat. PEEBLES-SHIRE. —Sir J. Hay retires from this county. Mr. Gibson Carmichael stands on the Liberal, and Mr. Forbes Mackenzie on the Tory interest. FALKIRK BURGHS. —We hear of no opponent to Mr. Gillon. PERTH BURGHS. —The Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, on the Libe ral interest, is opposed by Sir P. Murray Thriepland. STIRLING BURGHS. —The Tories here give out that a Can didate on their interest is forthcoming against Lord Dalmeny. ORKNEY, &c.—Mr. Balfour, the present Tory Member, will be opposed by Mr. F. Dundas, on the Liberal interest, who has already gone north. IN V ERNES!. SIIIRZ. —We have great pleasure in stating that a gentleman intimately connected with the interests of this county is to start as a candidate for the suffrages of the Liberal constituency. INVERNESS BUROUS. —Major Cumming Bruce retires, and Mr. Roderick M'Leod, the present representative for Suther land, stands on the Liberal interest. He is to be opposed by Me. J. R. Mackenzie. SunittaLatinstnan.—The Hon. Mr. Howard will be re turned on the Reform interest, without opposition. CAITHNESS. —Sir George Sinclair will be opposed on the Liberal interest by Mr. Trail, it is saiti successfully. EAST LOTHIAN. —Mr. Ferguson of Raith is to be opposed by Lord Ramsay, the late Tory candidate for Elinburgh. HADDINOTON BURGHS. —Mr. R. Stewart is to'bt) opposed by Sir T. B. Hepburn, but will be returned. The Tory op position here is got up, as in many other places, for t'he sole purpose of arousing the Liberal electors, and creating expepse to the Liberal candidates. ROXBUROHSHIRE.—Tho Hon. Francis Scott has, it will be observed, issue an address to the electors of the county of It is tuii ut th e , erk • st hum b ug. \\ Crt juiCC /lint the contest in this county will again determine whellit.r Toryism or Reform is in the ascendant. We feel assured th zt the faction will find themselves here, at least, utterly diseotn fittl;_Kciso Chronicle. Elliot is almost certain of being returned. BERWICK ON-TWEED.—Mr. Hodgson':: principles are Tory, and he will coilesce with Mr. Billy Holmes; we hope the Re formers will throw them both overboard. Ihkvvicxstuae.—We regret that no opponent of the present represcritatitc of this county has as yet declared himself. A mete unmeaning representative could scarcely exist. —Kelso IRELAND. (From the Freeman's anti :he Dublin Evening Post.) Eq..i:6's't.The present MetAertf, Jameg Emer.,:on and G urge )iitirith' i *it/ tre opposed by Lord Belfast and a tho rough-going Lib raf. 'h tWo former have " the most sweet voices" of the prcud elpkfors, and the friends of I 13elftt.t have been requested to kali their votes disen gaged. Of fitff)*. we have no fear. Lnftl Belfast has many claims, personal and pOntleal, on his fellow-townsmen. He comes forward as the advocate, of iiirite to Ireland. He eernes forward to rescue Belfast from the foul diWriLce of being miseeliFiltifitt 4 l. in the person of Mr. Emerson Te:'.'nent—a man whose politictti pHylligg.2 . 7 has become a bycward al;: / a reproach. If he supports, ag fie vutilit—and as we have no doubt he will—another Liberal c.lndidate, Mr, Gaurge Dunbar will sire lea Rent to the right about. COLERAINc: —Mr, Fdward Litton and Mr. Sealy Alexander are already in the field. The address of the latter is not all we could wish. He declare: himself, however, unequivocally in favour of Irish Corporation Reform. Mr. Litton is for preserving all the hideous deformity of the present system. DUNDALK.—Mr. Sharman Crawford has declined to come forward again for Dundalk. It is :laid that the lion. Gentle man will be called on to offer himself as a candidate for Bel fast. Dundalk, at any rate, is secure. A14443E111 CiTY.—Mr. Dobbin, the present Member, re tires, and sill be succeeded by his nephew, AL% Corry, the eminent Queen's Counsel. Mr, Corry is a staunch and de cided Liberal. He will be opposed by a Counsellor Kidd, who starts under the patronage of the Primate, Mr. Kidd, however, has about as much chance of being elected as he has of being made Lord Chancellor. The Liberals have gained a clear majority of one hundred on the registry since the last election. Ngwar.—This borough will be contested hotly, provided the Conservatives can induce somebody to bleed freely. Mr. Brady starts again ; and, although a large number of his late supporters have been turned out of their holdings by the trus tees of the Kilmorey estate, we have no doubt that the spirit and determination of the independent portio❑ of the constitu ency will carry him successfully through the contest. DUNGANNON.—The Hon. Colonel "Knox has been anything but attentive in the discharge of his Parliamentary duties. He only voted twice during the last session, and we believe not at all during the present one. The family interest will secure his re-election. Lount.--Sir Patrick Bellew retires, and will be succeeded by Mr. henry Chester, a Radical. Mr. Montesque the other Member, stands again as a matter of course. The Fosters are growling at the arrangement ; they will scarcely, however, screw their courage to the sticking place. The last contest was attended with so much inconvenient expense, that they will think twice before they act. DROGHEDA. —Sir Marcus Sommerville will be returned by an overwhelming majority, should the Hon. Randy Plunkett be fool enough to risk a contest. It is said the heir of the Dunsaneys has some idea of trying his fortunes once again in the county; all the Orange bludgeon-men he can draft from Cavan, however, will scarcely scare Mr. Henry Grattan and Mr. Morgan O'Connell from the hustings. WATERFORD.—Sir Richard Musgrave has published an ad dress to the electors, in which he states that it is not his inten tion to solicit their suffrages at the next election. Mr. John Puwer, the present Member for Dungarvan, will start on the Liberal interest, in conjunction with Mr. Villiers Stuart, one of the present Members. They talk of Mr. Christmas for the City, but it is all nonsense. Mr. Wyse and Mr. Winston Bar ron walk over the course. DUNGAR VAN. —The Hon. Patrick Plunket, son of the Lord Chancellor, has been called on by the Liberal clect.•rs. Tice hero of Duckspool—John M. Galway—has not been called on as yet by the Carlton Club. QUERN'S COUNTY. —Mr. Fitzpatrick has avowed himself a candidate. He professes himself the friend of civil and reli gious liberty—the advocate of Municipal Reform—a satisfac tory settlement of the tithe question—and the introduction of Poor Laws. He pledges himself to do the best he can to pro mote these questions, which he believes to be most beneficial to Ireland. Sir Charles Coote--who was once a Liberal— would do well to take a leaf out of the book of the new candi date; it might save him the expense of cor.testing the county, or the electors the pain of cashiering. him. COUNTY GALWAY.—The late well-timed and vigorous mani festation of opinion in Galway assures us that the present Mem bers are perfectly safe. CLARE. —Crofton M. Vandeleur, of Kilrush, Esq., will offer himself to the electors of this county at the coming elec tion. Major M'lsiemara, M. P., arrived from Dublin on Mon day, and was canvassing the electors of Clare, resident in this city, on Tuesday.—Limerick Chronicle. KILDARR. Barton, of Straffon, is reported the Con servative candidate for this county. KING'S COUNT T. —lt is reported that a son of the late Colonel Bernard will stand for the King's County. TRA LER. A Conservative candidate will dispute this borough with Mr. Maurice O'Connell.—Limerick Chronicle. BOROUGH OF BANDON. —They say that Jackson really means to offer himself again for Bandon; if he do so, he will be the Sorry Candidate, as well as the Sorry Sergeant. The Duke of Devonshire and the Liberals are resolved to emanci pate the Borough. And the Orangemen thereof, having now no hopes of any advantage from the Sergeant—and the Ser geant having gotten no money from the Carlton—the Club, in soot'', haring very little to bestow, even on English boroughs, will show their good sense by joining their landlords and their countrymen, and rejecting the Sergeant. COUNTY OF CLaas.—Major Macnamara and Mr. Corne lius O'Brien will be returned again for this county. There is some muttering about a Tory candidate, in the person of Mr. Crofton Vandeleur ; but will he come up to time ? BOROUGH OF ENNIS.—Mr. Bridgeman will be returned without a contest. Bottouoit OF YOUGUAL—The Hon. Colonel Cavendish, first Equcry to her Majesty the Queen, will start for this borough, and will be returned. Thus the Tory Nobles have come to nincpence. BOROUGH OF CLONMEL. —Mr. Nicholas Ball will be returned for Clonmel, without a contest. COUNTY OF TIPPERARY. —There is some rumour of a change in the representation of this county—but we do not choose, at present, to say more on the subject—but only this, that Tip perary will have two staunch supporters of the Queen's Government. 13ortoron OF CASHEL—The Attorney-General comes in for Cashel in a gallop. BOROUGH OF TRALEE.—It is said that Mr. Maurice O'Con nell will be opposed by an Orange candidate at Tralee. AGRICULTURAL BANK of IRELAND. Much has been written and spoken on both sides respecting the Agricultural Bank of Ireland, independent of the labori ous investigation into its management and affairs before the Secret Committee of the House of Commons. The manner in which, under all the embarrassments of a stoppage, the Bank discharged its obligations to the public, was hi g hly cre ditable and satisfactory ; but the disappointment and danger incurred by the shareholders created discontent and divisi ons in the Company itself; and a portion of it have been en deavouring to procure their release f rom i t b y an Act of Parliament, to compel its dissolution. As the evidence taken before the Committee has not been made public, we are of course unable to determine how f ar t h e non-content share holders were justified in resorting t o so extreme an d uncom promising a course, or ho w f ar t h e Di rectors were j ust ifi e d in resisting it. Some remarks made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was chairman of the Committee, on Mon day night, certainly seem to bear a construction favourable to the Directors. In answer to a question by Colonel Per ceval, the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated, that if it were not from a feeling of deference towards the Lion. Gentkinal who had charge of the Bill for the dissolution of the Bank, he should certainly have. moved at once that it be read a se cond time that day six months; and that he should at all events, when the second reading did come on', give it, on the part of the Government, the most strenuous opposition in his. power. The Bank therefore will not be dissolved by special Act of Parliament; and we understand, on the other hand, that there neither has been such a proportion of its capital lost as will, ipso facto, cause its dissolution ; nor that the di sentients are sufficiently numerous to command such a ma jority as would be able to dissolve the Bank by a vote to that effect. Under these circumstances, we can see no more eligible course to be pursued than that which we understand the Directors have always been ready to accede to—namely, that the dissentients should retire (if they still desire it), re ceiving the equitable value of their shares from the majority, who are anxious that the Bank should be revived. Indeed, as no,wes more h respectable enl d bbe extremely course sorry if this a c n o y u r l de remarks, e s been, d elicitede v s ed before us, from us by the conflict of opinions and facts brought have given pain or uneasiness to any gentleman concerned.— Economist, July 1. • The Bill was withdrawn in form by Mr. Emerson Tcn nent the following night. On Saturday morning the man employed in exca vating the earth for the formation of a new sewer at the end of Monmouth-street, and which is to have a communication with the sewer in Tottenham-court road, dug out the root of an elm-treet, which the previous day they found imp e di ng their progress. It was of very large dimensions, and in a very excellent state of preservation, and lay about four feet from the road. The surface of the root was cut level, in conse quence of which it is the opinion of Mr. Walker, who is su perintending the construction of the sewer, that, in forming the original road, the tree had been cut asunder, the root being left. About the middle of the day another root was found on the line of the projected sewer, from which circum stance it is conjectured that there was formerly there a row of elm-trees. Since the discovery a searsh has been made by some of the parish authorities into the archives of the parish records, but they have not succeeded in tracing the locality of the trees. The roots must have been in the ground many centuries. Several persons of respectability, on Saturday and yesterday, viewed these relics. The recent return of cold nights must, we fear, be injurious to vegetation, especially to the young wheats just reining into ear. Tail; AND DISSENTERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. r Silt—On the 15th inst., as I passed through Ipswich, I addressed to you a letter, with an account of proceetliiigs just then passed before the Magistrates, where the Itev4, : . , M,.ssrs. Nolcutt, Sp r i gg , an d " Wilitby, three Dissenting Ministers, had made successful opposition to the colic, tion of a Church-rate. In that letter hastily written while the coach stopped, I expressed an opinion that the vacillation..: and indifference manifested by the Ministry on the Church-i; rate question would retard the settlement of that question,t and prolong the discord which is extending in every part ofj- , the kingdom. After inserting my letter (for which accept my thanks).o you expressed with your accustomed manliness a diff,:renccf• of opinion on this subject. lam acquainted with ass - inters in nearly every part orti,i this country, and have letters from many confirming 1), own view. I was not, however, disposed to enter on a controversy to establish my position, because I am of opinion nine tenths of us believe, or were willing to believe, the diffi culties by which Ministers were surrounded arose from a quarter to which it is not usual to allude ; but the exist ence of a feeling that the delay which had been permit tc,_,l marked indifference,' and the postponement of tin Church ~nrc question to make room for that on Church leases inar k e ,i l vacillation, was then as certain as the fact Cult your advocaci of the measure, thr oug h ev il an d t h roug h good report, has produe:'d considerable effect in the caus( of religious freedom. A change, which was not the.ri anticipated, has taken place ; and it now becomes the Dis:?•nters to act up t( their professed principles—they have unjertaken the set tlement of the Church-rate impost, let th9n) adopt the principle of action set forth by John Howe, in these me• morable words—" If a man be drawn forth to defend ar, important truth against an injurious assault, it were trea cherous self-love to purchase his own peace by declining it.' My object in now addressing you arises out of the fol lowing circumstances : Last week, Archdeacon Glover sent a reply to an arti cle by the editor of the Patriot, in which he took oc casion to mention my name in terms that demanded notice from me. Having replied to the Archdea• - • con, I thought it right to send to several member: of her Majesty's Government copies of the correspon dence, in order that they might see one effect of th( present order of things, and the conflicts into whici Ministers of the Church of England are entering wit! their parishioners. I intimated at the same time that tin Dissenters hereabouts believed they were serving Lore Melbourne's Government by the passive course they hay, adopted. It was not to be expected that a Minister •f the Crown would concur in the doctrine of passive submissioi to the laws ; and in his reply, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer accordingly states that it appears to him " thf British Constitution exacts not only passive obedience, hie even active co-operation." The best men in all ages, how ever, and the society of friends universally, have acte, contrary to this view of the Chancellor of the Exchequer John Milton says, " Conscience or religion is that full per suasion whereby we are assured that our belief and prac tice, as far as we are able to apprehend, and probably make appear, is according to the will of God, which we ought to follow much rather than any law of man, as not only his wort everywhere bids us, but the very dictate of reason tells us.' And further, " that for belief or practice in religion accordirn to this conscientious persuasion, no man ought to be punishe, or molested, by any outward force on earth whatever." Lord John Russell too illustrated the same truth of Friday evening, in his excellent speech, by quoting the me• rnorable expression of William the Third, " That religiot is Gon's province, and that religious differences ought no to be carried into the civil relations of the State, or into th, civil relations of life." These principles guided me, in suffering that penalty o, law which the Churchwardens of this parish inflicted on in, in 1835 ; and on the same principles my Dissenting neigh hours, and others in a multitude of parishes, are now act ing, and have resolved to persevere. Observe the positior of the Churchwardens of this parish with their Dissenting neighbours ; they have summoned them before the Magis trates for the non-payment of a Church-rate which is note riously illegal : if they appear, and question its validity, th , Magistrates will immediately dismiss the suit to the Eeclk siastical Court. Knowing the Constitution of that Cour , they wisely prefer being passive, and by allowing the law t , pursue its career take the spoiling of their goods. They think, further, that if Lord Melbourne's Govern meet is a just one, they are serving that Government b: bringing to view the oppressive and unchristian characte' of the present law in the most peaceable manner—and so entirely concur with them, and so heartily dissent f r i a r: the sentiment expressed by the Chancellor of the Excheque► that I feel it right to urge upon the Dissenters in ever : part of the country with greater force than ever, in th terms of a resolution which I had the honour to move a the meeting of delegates in London in February last, an'` which was unanimously adopted, to pledge " themselves t continue their efforts by all constitutional means to accorn plish the object for which they had been appointed an, had assembled, namely—the total abolition of Church rates." I now turn with pleasure to the latter part of th' Chancellor of the Exchequer's letter, wherein he state. that the Ministry " have marked with extreme satisfac tion the reception given by Dissenters to the measur proposed in the House of Commons for the settlement o this important question," a ddi ng , that " should this cordio co-operation continue, the best result may be looked for: Let the Dissenters take this statement in good faith, an• believing the Ministry to be now untrammelled by Tor. prejudices, give them credit for good intentions and at the ensuing election let them give their votes only to men who will go to Parliament with a fixed determina tion to further the wisely expressed intentions of the Queen' Government. Let the Dissenters act up to their avowe' principles ; they are numerous, and of weight enough ti hold the balance between the contending parties at th , coming election. Let them be true to themselves, and ac in unwavering- consistency with their profession, and thei righteous demands arc now within their reach. I conclude in the terms of a resolution passed by 6( Dissenters from various parts of the kingdom last August who had assembled here for the consideration of thi Church-rate question, and urge its adoption on all, wit'l scrupulous exactness :--" That, in case of a dissolution o Parliament, preference be given (other qualifications a. Reformers being equal) to candidates who will distinctly pledge themselves to vote for the extinction of Church rates."—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN CHILDS. Bungay, 27th June, 1837.
