Thus 101., 201., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burg,h, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive Money from Haniburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible.

'v tended to jnainder -•t based sident JACKSON, and then contemplate the peculiar felicity which, in despite of themselves, they enjoy, living as they do under the shadow of Royal diadems. Of the PRESIDENT ' S Message no fewer than thirteen paragraphs, or nearly a fourth of the entire document, is taken up with grave considerations respecting the disposal of the surplus revenue I Is not this frightful ? The American Government is so rich—so superabounds in wealth and resources—that Congress is invited to deliberate upon the best means of reducing taxation without giving offence to the people I Under a Mo narchy the necessity for making such a startling com munication as this could never have occurred. Kings—GoD bless them I—are never at a loss as to how they may dissipate the wealth en trusted to them by their people. They have never any occasion to lecture the tax-payers upon the dangers which they anticipate from excessive receipts. Their Exchequers are never incon veniently filled with an useless revenue. This is a strong argument in favour of such a system of Go vernment, especially where it is borne in mind that riches are the root of all evil." Thanks to the diligence of their Majesties, their mistresses, their courtiers, and all the necessary appendages of crowns and sceptres, their subjects can seldom afford to pay taxes enough to meet the current expenses of the Ad ministration. Thus evangelical poverty becomes the rule, and riches the exception among the subjects of Monarchical States. But the indulgence of Re gal Government does not end here. Care is taken that the few rich shall enjoy all of which it is deemed prudent to deprive those liable to be corrupted by the possession of the fruits of their own industry. Thus the great bulk of the people are indebted to the Go vernment for the preservation of those virtues which distinguish the abjectly poor. Now turn we to the United States and their PRESIDENT, from whose mes svge we shall here make but one brief extract : " You will perceive, from the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury, that the financial means of the country continue to keep pace with its improvement in all other respects. The receipts into the Treasury, during the present year, will amount to about 47,661,898 dollars; those from Customs being estimated at 22,523,151 dollars ; those from lands at about 24,000,000 of dollars ; and the residue from miscella neous sources. The expenditures for all objects, during the year, are estimated not to exceed 22,000,000 of dollars, which will leave a balance in the Treasury, for public pur poses, on the Ist day of January next, of about 41,723,955 dollars. This sum, with the exception of five millions, will be transferred to the several States, in accordance with the provisions of the Act regulating the deposits of the public money. " The unexpended balances of appropriation, on the Ist day of January next, are estimated at 14,636,062 dollars, exceed ing by 9,636,062 dollars, the amount which will be left in the deposit banks, subject to the draft of the Treasurer of the United States, after the contemplated transfers to the several States are made." Next follows a long and elaborate disquisition, the burden of which is, that nothing can be less sound than the old adage, " out of debt, out of danger." This, if true, must be a no trifling 'gratification to a nation with pecuniary encumbrances to the extent of eight hundred millions sterling and upwards. Our Government is happily in a condition to dispose of its surplus revenue for a century to come, without being reduced to the awful necessity of taking into conside ration the expediency of banding it over, in hard cash, to the tax-payers. In every other particular the PRESIDENT'S message is an able and valuable document, and we have no doubt will be read with feelings of the deepest interest. The retirement of General JACKSON is but the pre lude to his disappearance from the scene of his triumphs, for by all accounts it appears that be has not long to live. His career was one of glory to him self, and of happiness to the States of which he is now the PRESIDENT. His last speech will yet shake thrones, of which now none doubt the stability. The speech of the most Christian King to the Peers and Deputies of France, begins to attract that degree of earnest attention which would have been paid to it from the instant of its delivery, had no attempt been made upon the life of the Sovereign. France, as a nation, is too powerful—as a constitutional monarchy too prominent and important—and as the ally of Spain, and the leading organ of liberal ideas on the continent, holds too commanding a position among the great European Powers, to justify a contemptuous disregard of the language of her Cabinet by whomsoever, and to whomsoever addressed. Still less warrantable would be a neglect of a ministerial manifesto intended for, and recognized as, the basis of a system of policy pro posed for the regulation of the conduct of her Govern ment, and the acts of her Legislature. We propose not to ourselves a critical examination of the taste, good or bad, displayed in the allusion to so many in congruous, and in our opinion, irrelevent subjects in a speech from the throne. We shall deal with facts:and statements of facts—and as far as we find it developed —with the system which the Sovereign of the FRENCH proposes as the basis of the future policy of his Go vernment. With this view we shall offer a running commentary upon the principal paragraphs of the Royal speech. The first runs thus : _ " France reaps the fruit of her courage and her wisdom. Her institutions are becoming strengthened, her prosperity is increasing, and in assembling you this day, I have but to con gratulate myself and you on the success of our efforts for the happiness of our country." When these words were spoken, a quarter of an hour had not elapsed after a regicidal assassin had made a target of the representative of the first and strongest institution in France—the Monarchy. Twice, within six months, had the life of the KING been attempted, with a desperate devotedness of purpose which defied precaution, and spurned the hope of impunity. Within the same period, a military insurrection at Vendome, and another at Strasburgh, led to the discovery of the ramifications of dangerous conspiracies in the army— rather startling proofs, it must be confessed, of the in creased consolidation of the military institutions of France. A King of France, under these circumstances, might be expected to find matter far more than simple congratulation in the presence of the national repre sentatives. But such was not the opinion of Louts PHILIPPE. The second paragraph is conceived in these words : " I receive from all Foreign Powers the most pacific assur ances. The peace of the world appears for a long time secure from every attack." We can but infer from this that the French Cabinet regards a war of extermination in Spain, another in Circassia, a third on the frontier of Persia, and a fourth undertaken by France herself in Africa, as so many guarantees for the undisturbed peace of which the world is thus promised the long enjoyment. In the vocabulary of M. BERNARD the word " peace" has a most extensive signification. The siege of cities by hostile armies—battles between the military forces of rival claimants for crowns and for an increase of terri tory—are not inconsistent with his notions of universal tranquillity. The Speech of his Royal Master will justify us in so interpreting the ideas of the French Minister of War. The next two paragraphs relate to the temporary differences with the Governments of the United States and Switzerland, now happily adjusted. They are un important, and might have been omitted altogether. Proceed we to what follows : " The Peninsula is still disturbed by fatal dissensions. Se rious events have shaken the institutions of Madrid and Lis bon, and Spain has b een i ncessan tly de so l a t e d by c i v il war. Still closely united with the King of Great Britain, I con tinue to cause the treaty of - adruple Alliance to be exe cuted with 'formity Iv the spirit in , . THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 2, 1837• openly to give it utterance. Had the Chambers not been intoxicated with the excitement caused by the attempt upon the KING'S life, many of the Members would have quitted their seats upon hearing such a state ment as this from the mouth of the Citizen KING. We seek not to make a scape-goat of Count MOLE more than does the KING himself. To make a Minister responsible for what he never advised is more consti tutional than just in this instance. The KING himself set aside the Quadruple Treaty ; he alone dared to insult Spain, and to cast a stain upon his own public character, by sketching the paragraph in his speech which so scandalously asserts his obser vance of it. The following includes all that relates to the contest in Spain :- 4 , I entertain the most sincere desire for the consolidation of the throne of Isabella 11., and I trust that the Constitutional Monarchy will triumph over the perils with which it is threatened. But I applaud myself for having preserved France from the sacrifices, the extent of which cannot be ap preciated, and from the incalculable consequences of any armed intervention in the internal affairs of the Peninsula. France reserves the blood of her children for her own cause, and when she is reduced to the painful necessity of summoning them to shed that blood in her defence, it is only under our own glorious colours that the soldiers of France march to battle." If France intended not an "armed intervention'ifl the affairs the Peinsula," wherefore did her G , ft-17,- ment order the enlistment of a foreign legion at How was it that she allowed Marshal LEBEAU to enter Spain at the bead of a strong:military force, com posed, for the most part, of Frenchmen ? If she " reserves the blood of her children for her own cause"- why did she encourage those children, at the com mencement of the struggle, to take arms in the service of Queen ISABELLA II.? Troops were raised in France by order of the Governinent, for the avowed purpose of making war upon the Spanish rebels. Spain was applied to for the expences of their outfit— the hopes of the QUEEN'S friends were excited with promises of the wonders the French soldiers would perform in the Biscay an provinces—the mockery of a direct intervention was reported as the cause of inces sant cavils in the Cabinet—the KING affected airs of indecision, and assumed the tone of a person anxious to be persuaded to adopt a bold, firm, and decided course. Everything promised the speedy termination of the Peninsular struggle, when his MAJESTY turned round and declared against, all intervention, thus inflict ing a most serious injury upon the Constitutional cause. While he was thus cajoling and mocking the Spanish Cabinet with promises which he never in tended to perform, Don CARLOS received from him proofs of substantial friendship. Smuggling was en couraged on the frontier, and every indirect means were adopted to supply the Pretender with an abundance of money, provisions, and military stores. The subordi nate authorities had orders to connive at all breaches of Excise regulations, and to be satisfied with all pass ports of which the bearers evinced a predilection for Carlism. Intimations to this effect were not confined to the authorities on the frontier, and in every instance were observed with a praiseworthy devotion to the secret will of the Most Christian KING. A few remarks upon the paragraph in the Royal Speech which relates to the disasters experienced by the French Army before Constantine, will include all the observations we shall at present offer upon this document. After deploring the defeat suffered by France on that occasion, his MAJESTY adds :—" You will feel disposed, with me, to insure to our arms in Africa the preponderance which ought to belong to them, and to our possessions complete security." That is to say, " Gentlemen, you will vote supplies, to enable me. to extend the conquests of France in A frica. The people of Constantine are peaceable, and seek not to molest us ; we are the invaders—the aggressors ; but as the peace of the world,' as I told you a moment ago, ap pears for a long time secure from every attack,' we will take advantage of the universal repose to subdue the Arabs. But remember there must be no war, or ru mour of war. lam the NAPOLEON of peace, and, if necessary, can fight without disturbing it. MoLE at his leisure will explain this to your satisfaction." What remains of the speech relates to the internal economy of France. That portion of it was amply discussed in the leading columns of The Sun of Friday and Saturday. The Paris journals of Thursday and Friday contain no news of any interest. The Chamber of Deputies had not then concluded the election of its Vice-Presi dents and Secretaries. The Chamber of Peers did not sit on Thursday. The KING, accompanied by the different Members of the Royal Family, attended the chapel of the Tuileries on Thursday, where a solemn Te Deum was chaunted in thanksgiving for his MAJESTY'S deliverance from the arm of the assassin MEUNIER. On the day following a public meeting of the British and American residents in Paris was held, for the purpose of preparing a congratulatory address to the King of the FRENCH. It was very fully at tended. The Earl of DUNDONALD and Sir C. RICH were present. The following particulars respecting the assassin MEUNIER are from the Gazette des Trilunaux of Thursday : " On readingiour journal, M. Barre, a respectable merchant, conceived the most horrible suspicions ; he repaired to the office of M. Zangiacomi, the examining magistrate, and told him, that if the description of the assassin, which he had just read in the Gazette des Tribunaux, was correct, the young man was his nephew ; and that his name was Meunier. M. Zangiacomi conducted M. Barre to the Conciergerie, to con front him with the assassin, when his suspicions were fully confirmed ; the prisoner was his nephew. At sight of the unfortunate culprit, for whom he had the affection of a father, M. Barre was overcome by his feelings, and burst into tears. On witnessing his uncle's grief, Meunier was unable to re press his emotion ; and when the enormity of his crime, the terrible consequences which threatened him, the dishonour and the despair of his family, were represented to him, he turned pale, and could se:wooly support himself. But as soon as his first emotion was over, he recovered his tranquillity, and repeated that he was not sorry for his act. M. Barre immediately made disclosures respecting the family of the prisoner. He is the only son of M. Meunier, of La Cha pelle St. Denis, who has for a long time been proprietor of a waggon-office at that place. He is also the nephew of M. Champion, deputy mayor of La Villette. Meunier has been employed as a journeyman by M. Lavaux, saddler and harness maker, 30, Rue Montmarte, where he had worked for nearly two years. About a fortnight since he left M. Lavaux, who is his cousin-german. His usual residence was at 26, Rue Montmartre. Yesterday afternoon M. Colin, commissary of police, made some inquiries, and also a strict search, at the house of M. Lavaux. The examination made led to the discovery of the fellow pistol to that used by the assassin, and which M. Lavaux recognised as belonging to him. By a singular coin cidence, M. Lavaux formed part of the detachment of the mounted National Guards who escorted his Majesty to the Chamber. . _ _ " In the course of the different examinations that Meunier has undergone, he declared that having learnt by rote, in his youth, the History of France, by Anquetil, he had conceived a violent hatred agrinst the house of Orleans, which, accord ing to that history, had always been disastrous to France. He has for a long time entertained the project of assassinating the King, but deferring its execution till he should attain—the age of discretion I " We were ill-informed yesterday in stating that he de clared he belonged to the Societe des Families. He has hitherto persisted in declaring that he has no accomplice, that he belongs to no political association, and that he has been actuated solely by the hatred he bears to the Orleans fa mily." _ _ ' The prevailing impressionis that MEUNIER had ac complices, and that throughout this melancholy affair he was but the instrument of more subtle intellects than his own. The police are actively at work hunt ing out fresh conspiracies. On Friday six English mails were due in Paris. In the absence of all intelligence from this country, some person thought proper to report that an attack had been made upon the life of our gracious King WILLIAM IV. The rumour spread, and by some o r other gat into the Jot rnals. - We, foi , ii( -4-"kne - rs, of Carlists have planted their besieging artillery on their posi tion is front of Espartero. Alaix has arrived at Ona with 4,000 or 5,000 men. The division of Gomez has remained at Orduna in observation." - The following extract from a letter, dated Bayonne, Dec. 24, includes the whole of the intelligence received from Bilboa :- " News has been received direct from the bead-quarters of Espartero, who, since the 21st has been on the right bank of the Nervion, with between 8,000 and 9,000 men and a nu merous train of artillery, while an equal number of men ma noeuvre on the left bank. If we may believe report, the sol diers are well disposed, and Bilboa will be delivered. The Carlists have withdrawn their artillery, which was directed against the place with a view to oppose that of Espartero. An action is inevitable, and it is supposed will take place to day. Gomez is at Sodupe, four leagues from Durango. Alaix was a few days since at Ona, three leagues from Bal maceda, with 5,000 men. That General had followed up the Carlists, in order to operate a powerful diversion, and to efface by a signal victory the stigma which he has cast on his cha racter by his late acts of insubordination." There is less reason to hope that ALAIX will fight the Carlists than there is cause to fear that he will take advantage of his favourable position to go over with his whole force to the PRETENDER. He is now within ; few leagues of DON CARLOS'S head ruArters, atu= it is not unlikely that he may prefer de 'ser'tion t;it r ie qhances of an acquittal from the charges preferrea\vainst him tu the Cortes. The latest ad vices from Madrid are of the 21st ult. They are mere "; - rqsetititins of by-gone rumours and anticipations. FRENCH FUNDS.-P ais, DEC. 30. Five per Cents., 107 f. 70c. 75c. SOc. 90c.

The ostensible object of this very raffish affair was to pay a mark of respect to the Tory Member for the borough, Mr. J. H. KEARSLEY ; land, in doing this, to give colour to the hallucination about reaction, by getting together as many of the lowest classes in the town as could be bribed by a gra tuitous dinner, and then dubbing these hungry wretches " Conservative Operatives." A promiscuous rabble assembled, as might have been anticipated, and fright ened away every decent person who might have been disposed from party motives to have countenanced a Tory manifestation. 'We are given to understand in deed that Lord WHARNCLIFFE, Lord SANDON, Lord SKELMERSDALE, and the Lord knows how many more of the same kidney, " would have attended, but" —your but is a great peace-maker---" but each of these gentlemen sent letters to the secretary of the As sociation, regretting their unavoidable absence." No doubt they did, and thereby shou ed that, though rank Tories, they have not yet lost all self-respect. Those who did attend the feed made miserable work of the intellectual part of the treat, if we may be pardoned for degrading that word by applying it to the non sensical rubbish uttered after dinner by some of the party—that is to say, by all of them who essayed the delivery of a speech. The Chairman—the late Tory Mayor—had the good sense not to commit himself by word of mouth, for though placed in the situation which often tempts a silly man to make a fool of him self, Mr. LORD resigned the speaking department to others fonder of displaying their oratorical powers, who kindly relieved him from the task of announcing the toasts, not one of which was given from the Chair, except the health of that renowned personage, Mr. HULTON of Hulton. A so-called operative made the first speech ; and meaning to uphold the unnatural connection between religion and politics, stumbled upon the happy expression, that " Church and State had become almost a byeword throughout the country." The worthy speaker then boasted, that " what he' said, he said in charity and brotherly love ;" and by' way of clenching this assertion, added, that " he never knew a Radical that was willing to work forhis living." What say the Radicals of Wigan to this honourable testimony borne to their character by the " charitable'' Tory operative, Mr. J. HAMWELL ? Him followed another operative, who kindly in formed his friends that a poet of old (alias Alexander Pope, Esq.,) had Mr. KEARSLEY in his mind's eye when he said that " An honest man's the noblest work of GOD." Whether Mr. KEARSLEY was' exactly the person shadowed forth by the " poet of old " in that line, we will not take upon us to determine. All that we can say is that Mr. K.'s speech in reply—he being the lion of the evening— was the shortest, and at the same time the dullest— always excepting that of sleep-begetting WILKINS— that was delivered during the evening. One GUNNING, a parson, also drivelled out a quantity of trash, the main drift of which was that parsons are well employed when they mingle in poli tics. We trust the benefit of this doctrine will be ex tended to the Catholic clergy in Ireland, who have sustained such a storm of pious wrath for doing that which is so meritorious in the Protestant clergy—and doing it too much better and more effectually. This scion of the English Church was appropriately supported by a Rev. Scotchman—a Mr. M'KENZIE— one of those double-faced animals, who come to Eng land, and are kept from starvation by the vo luntary contributions of the people, and yet have the indecency to rail against the vo luntary system. This consistent person, in the course of one of the most bombastic effu sions we have ever read, took occasion to designate the English Church " the Apostolic Established Church," and to appeal to the authority of JOHN KNOX at the same time ! Only fancy the feelings of KNox,could he have heard the absurd rhodomontade of this empty-pated blockhead. All the Mails have arrived to-day but the Edin burgh, and the Halifax.

THE AUTHOR OF " VIVIAN GREY.",---What ever faults may be ascribed to this writer, it is certain that want of originality is not one of them. Mr. D'lsraeli is entirely original. We are never reminded of any one else —on the contrary, we are startled and surprised. In any other age than the present, or even now, had he lived less in society, Mr. D'lsraeli would have been a poet. He has essentially the poetic temperament—the intense self-con sciousness, the impetuosity and the eye for the beautiful. The first reading of " Vivian Grey" was an epoch in youth's memory. It was one of those books over which we read ourselves out of breath. What was not, therefore, to be expected from " Henrietta Temple"—a Love Story, from the same pen—from him who imagined the soft yet sunny being- of Violet Fane, or the more passionate mystery of Alceste ? much, certainly—but notwithstanding these high expectations, few, we imagine, will rise from the perusal of this new production without a considerable increase of ad miration for the genius and talents of the highly-gifted Henry Fitzmaurice will come of age on Fri ,e Zth January ; but owing to the late bereavement family of the Noble Marquis, the Lord President of ',punch, the event will not be celebrated ; nor will , nry th.s the title of Earl o f Kerry or Sher' the accouchement of thc.! Countess of "E Y MARK MON ET SATURDAY EVENING.—The Consol Market, which gave signs of improvement yesterday, has made to-day a still more rapid progress in advance, and it has altered for the time the character of all the transactions at the Stock-Exchange. Nothing is more evident from what has occurred than that the spirit of speculation, which has leen kept within bounds by recent events in the Money Market, would break out anew with all its origidal force on a little very more excitement, the state of the English funds being in all such cases the great exciting cause, other circumstances remaining the same. The early return of the speculative mania would be, in the estimation of all men of judgment in monetary affairs, a great evil, as nothing would tend more to produce another unfavourable reaction in the exchanges, and to render nugatory all the exertions which the Bank, and mer chants acting under their instructions, have made to support them. So far the experiment may he said to have succeeded; but let the speculators only force up the price of Dutch stock (which is one of their favourite operations) in this market, and the whole will be undone by the sending hither, from Amsterdam, such securities for sale, and drawing bills against them. The more obvious reason as signed for this new impulse to the funds is the supposed " bear" account, and the difficulty in procuring stock which those who have operated largely for the fall have had to en counter ; besides which, the passing over of some days with out any new shock to credit has certainly inspired generally a tone of great confidence in the city. It has been said, how ever, that some large coutiter-speculations for the rise have been entered into, in anticipation of the large payments to be made early in the rear on account of the East India remittable loan, though we should apprehend these cannot have any very marked effect, as many of the parties who held the bills drawn against it are known to have discounted them during the late low price of Consols, and invested the proceeds, which has proved in the event a very beneficial operation to them. But any reverse in the exchanges occurring at this moment would at once destroy all calculations of that nature. It is said that large wagers have been decided by the rise of Consols for the January account to 90, which took place to-day. The event appeared so improbable a few weeks ago, that great odds were taken that it did not occur, and the successful parties have reaped, consegitently, very considerable advantages. —Morn ing Paper.

The r however, discredit this statement, and attribute + l .-- house to bad management ; nay, some a' as were fitted out at a small exper • expedition might f. il, and so affore, CENTRAL CRIMINAL COU THIS DAY. The January Sessions of this Court were opened U., day before the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR, the RECORDER, and Mr. Serjeant ARABIN. The Grand Jury having been sworn, the IlEcc anEn addressed them. He said it would not be neceFsary that he should trespass at any length upon their time, couider ing the limited state of the calendar compared with for tiler sessions, and the cases upon it not presenting any ditliuulty, which their experience would not enable them to incet. He wished, however, to make a few observations applicable to some of the cases. He noticed on the caleirda,• the name of a prisoner, Richard Thomson, against whom a bill of indictment would probably be preferred, chargng him with a misdemeanor in attempting to induce by mea:is of bribery John Phillipps to give false evidence on a triad. On looking into the depositions, it appeared to him (tire. Re corder) that the crime of subornation of perjury coull not. be sustained, the party having resisted the effort to bribe him, and the offence, therefore, not having been comiloted; but fortunately for the interests of society and the (lee ad ministration of justice, the charge might be so framed that the Court could take cognizance of it, and upon conviction inflict a severe punishment. It would be the duty of the Grand Jury to investigate the circumstances as they may be presented to them on oath, and if necessary to put them in a course of further investigation. He was anxious also to call their attention to the case of John Ryan, who was charged with a felonious assault upon Thomas Jackson with intent to rob him. This gentleman, it appeared, was driving from Acton towards London, was several times stopi-,ed on his way, and was finally laid hold of by the prisoner who climbed up at the back of the phaeton, but from whose grasp Mr. Jackson fortunately extricated himself. It would be for the Grand Jury to say, upon looking into the facts, what was the intention of the prisoner, and if his conduct could fairly be set down to any other motive than that of rubbery. He trusted if the party charged had really atterriptea the capital felony, though unsuccssfully, yet he might not wholly escape punishment. There was also a charge respecting an unnatural offence, committed on Blackheath, resting en tirely on circumstances which they should minutely inquire into, in order that if the ends of justice required it, the prisoner might be put upon his trial ; and if there appeared no probability of a conviction, the Court and the public might ' be spared going into the disgusting and filthy details. The Recorder next adverted to the case of forgery of a bill of ex change for 1,0001., but as the prisoner was not then within _ the ' precincts of the gaol of Newgate, though likely to br, soon there, he should not mention his name. The question 'lnvolved a grave consideration in law, and would probably be submitted for the opinion of the judges. It had been decided thint acce rating the maturity of a bill of exchange was a fraudulent al teration of a genuine instrument, and as such constitut,d the crime of forgery. In his (the Recorder's) opinion, any posh ponement of the date would likewise constitute the oflence, because circumstances might so happen that a postponement would be equally injurious to the acceptor, as the acceleration of the date at which it was made payable. It did not arpear to him necessary to observe further upon the cases in the, ca lendar, and he would conclude by recommending them to iri quire diligently into the details of the evidence submitted on each bill of indictment, and where the evidence of the p...ose cutor was not in itself sufficient, he advised them to e7.arnine the policeman and other witnesses, thct so in all cases t'ee ends of justice may be fully attained. LONGFORD ELECTION. (FROM CDR LONGFORD CORRESPONDENT.,) Third Day—Total polled . 1,106 Total—Majority for White .. 92 Third Day—Polled for White ... ....... 172 Fox „,, B7 (FROM OUR DUBLIN CCRRESPONDEN T. ) DUBLIN, DEC. 31.—The triumla of the good cause: announced in my last communication, was not .tremature. The glorious ma jority of 93, by which Mr. White las been returned for Longferd County, confirms my account of the effects produced' in this city by the small majority of siz on Wednesday last. All Eory hopes are blasted—they relied upon their union and money for sue,ess iu this contest ; but the result shows tnu time has come whey the spi rit of a nation is proof against bribery and corruption. 'There is: at this mement a re-action amo. g LH parties in Ireland totaßy -different from that contemplate& o) some of our contemporaries during the last two months. The Whig or Liberal party, re convinced that pure Toryism is odious to the people, and can r.ever again raise its head here—when they iuid th.V. 'nil country 'where Protestant electors were free and unrestrained by their lan .11ords, they have enlisted under the banners of Reform. On ti .e other hand, the Tories are taught by the contest in Longford. t na l ; fear, coercion, and persecution can no longer avail with the Irish tenantry, who now know their rights, and knowing will defend. them. In fact, it is useless for the landlords to think of voercing the people against the popular current ; if they persevere in doing so, mischief must accrue to themselves. As to their b opeF; from other circumstances, they will turn out equally fallacious. Sir Robert Peel will never again attempt to govern the country on Tory principles, and Lord Lyndhurst has not character enough to supply the want of such a Premier. I shall never publish what may have been communicated to me, under th e I mpress i on of its not being likely to meet the public eye, though known to a few friends. Otherwise, I could state a fact respecting the Right Hot.. Baronet, proving that his political views as to the mode of carry ing on jhe Government are totally dissonant from that of his party ; and in his late attempt to conduct the Government he felt that he was trying an experiment only, the result of which could r.ot be prejudicial to his personal character. This Tamworth M r n if esto and subsequent conduct as Leader in the Commons, corr Aorate this part of my statement. The proof, however, of hi s tanticipa tions of the catastrophe which befell his Cabinet, and kns endea vours to avert it by a totally different course from that which he was forced to pursue, is not generally known. Whether or not the opening of Parliament may throw some light on th o subject, it would, perhaps, be presumptuous to assert ; but you. may rest as sured of this, that a very small portion indeed of cd Sir Robert's political sentiments csincide with those of t'ne party with whom he is still united ; and his character is a guarantee that he will not again act contrary to his own convictions, Satis una superque Vidimus excidia. He will never risk a second defeat at the head of such formes as he commanded at the opening of the Parliamentary canwii , pi is 1835 ; and without that squad, awkward as it may be, Toy yism cannot raise its head in any part of the empire. " BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY," No. 1., affords: a promising sample of this new comic periodical work. its aim is to amuse : grave disquisitions and politics arc to be eschewed, and fun, facetiw, and comic humour are to be the staple commodities ; an occasional dash of serious s. snti ment, however, will vary the mirth, and give it more zest by the contrast. Plates, too, come in aid of the writi m p : George Cruickshank furnishes a drollery ; Mr. Lover r iak es his first appearance as a comic sketcher ; and a ! jigki,y finished engraving of George Colman—a good lik , ene&s— illustrates a Memoir—by Theodore Hook, Esq.- --of the promoter of Broad Grins.
