THE QUEEN KENSINGTON, THURSDAY.—Greativ r to `..ie regret of the inhabitants of Kensington, her Mai!::,i). and her illustrioti., 'wither (the Duchess of Ken':), left Kensington Palace this afternoon, for the purv se of taking up their retident.'e az Buckingham Palace. Shortly after one o'cloelt an escort of Lancers arrive'', on the Palace-green, long previous to which an inr.ense concourse of respectable persons had thronged tl".e avenue and every open space near the Palace from when ce a view of the departure of the august per somirt',A could be obtained. "-tbout half-past one o'clock, an open lantleau, drawn by Tour gray horses, preceded by two outriders, and felltwed by no open barouche, drawn by four bay hems, the ser vivits in the Royal livery, arrived from the Queen's•rnews ut Pimlico, and about ten minutes afterwards they drew up sit the grand entrance to the Duchess of Kent's apartments. The Queen, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent and Baroness Lehzen, got into the first carriage, amid the cheers and salutations of the numerous crowd, which her Majesty ac l .inowledged with the greatest kindness. In the second carriage were the Marchioness of Ta vistoek (Lady in Waiting), and Col. Cavendish (Equerry in Waiting). Along the road and in the Park numbers of persons had collected, who greeted her Majesty with the most fervent demonstrations of loyalty and affection. Previous to her Majesty's departure she was visited by thc Countess Grey and her two daughters. Her Majesty's wardrobe, as well as that of the Duchess of Kent, have during the last two or three days been re moved to Buckingham Palace, whither several members of the Household have also removed ; but, as the Prince and Princess of Lciningen and Baroness Lehzen will reside at Kensington Palace for some time, the establishment will not yet be broken up. About half-past six o'clock their Serene Highnesses left the Palace in one of the Royal carriages to dine with her Majesty and a select party at Buckingham Palace. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and the Duchess of Kent left Kensington Palace at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, in an open car riage and four, with an escort of Lancers, for the new Pa lace in St. James's Park. Her Majesty was attended by the Marchioness of Lansdowne. A second open carriage and four, containing Baroness Lehzen and Colonel Caven dish, followed. In the evening a select party dined with her Majesty and the Duchess of Kent, at the Palace. Among the com pany were the Prince and Princess of Leiningen, the Lord Steward, the Lord Chamberlain, the Marquis and Mar chioness of Lansdowne, Viscount Duncannon, the Vice- Chamberlain, Lord Templemore, Sir Robert Otway, and Colonel Cavendish. The Duke of Saxe Meiningen and Prince Ernest of Hesse Philippsthal left the Queen's House, St. James's, on IVednesday afternoon, for Bushey Park. Sir Reginald Macdonald Seton, Colonel Shaw, Messrs.

The preparations for the grand dejeuner at the Mar quis of Londonderry's villa, at Rosebank, were countermanded, and there will be no entertainment there this year. His Excellency the Russian Ambassador will give a sumptuous entertainment to-morrow, at Ashburnham House, to the Earl of Durham, to meet whom are invited the Cabi net,Ministers and their ladies, the Princess Licven, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, &c. The Earl of Mulgrave entertained a select party at dinner last evening, at the Clarendon. The Countess will be presented, it is expected, at the Drawing -room on Thursday next, on her new appointment of Lady of the Bedchamber to her Majesty. In consequence of the Metropolitan Society of Florists and Amateurs holding their fete at the Beulah Spa, Norwood, yesterday, the Countess of Essex gave a grand breakfast, to which the party invited, amounting to sixty-four, sat down at six o'clock ; including the Duchess of Sutherland, Lady Hamilton Williams, Lady and Miss Trollope, the Dowa ger Lady Floyd, Lord and Lady Amherst, General and the Hon. Arthur Cape!, Lady Georgians Payne, the Dowager Lady De Clifford, Miss Southerby, Masterton Ure, M. P., Viscount and Viscountess Darchard, Mrs. and Miss Roberts, Sir The William Abdy, an d Si r Montague and Lady Chumley. music, performed by Weippert's band was of the firs order, and the breakfast, under the personal , direction of Mr. t Gunter, gave universal satisfaction. The Earl of Mulgrave has been on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Westenra, at their beautiful cottage near Windsor. His Excellency attended the funeral from thence. The Mar chese Pallavicini was among the guests. Mr. Parnther gave a concert on Wednesday, at which Signora Grisi, Albertazzi, Giannoni, and Assandri, Signors Rubini, Tamburini, Lablache, Liverani, and Puzzi assisted.

The Count Toreno, late Prime Minister of Queen Isabel and Spain, n ith his family and suite, left the Clarendon, this morning, for Paris. The Duke of Beaufort has left town for New market. His Grace has purchased the splendid mansion of the Marquis of Camden, in Arlington -street, which will un dergo an entire re-embellishment preparatory to his Grace's return to town next season, when a series of parties, on a scale of great splendour, will be given. The Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury leave town the Ist of August, for a grand continental tour of the south of France, Italy, Germany, &c., and are not expected to return to England before March. The youthful Mar chioness was among the numerous fashionables in Hyde-park yesterday afternoon, in her pony phaeton, the admiration of the elite of the nobility. The ponies were brought to this country by Count Danniskiold, the Noble Marquis's son-in law, from the stables of his Majesty the King of Denmark, by whom they were bred. The Duchess Countess of Sutherland, and her ex tensive suite embarked this day on board the Scotch steam ship bearin g her Grace's name, for Dornock, on her way to Dunrobin Castle, A new wing for the accommodation of miters has been recently added to the Castle. Mr. and Lady Anne Coke, have left town for their seat Holkham Hall,Norfolk. The lady of the HonourableGen ticman, it is said, will appear among the earliest creations of the new reign, as a Baroness of the united kingdom.

MONEY MARKET, THURSDAY —Matters in the City still continue to improve, but the ' approaching general election engrosses the attention of almost every body, and speculation of all kinds seems state.t? be suspended until the coun trybh returns to its usual settledd at the Stock Exchange and in tl Money is abundant . t commercial world, while no farther applications for loans have been made at the Bank. The usual weekly meetin g of the directors of that establish ment took place to.day, but nothing of importance was transacted. MODERN ATIIENS.--On entering this place, once u celebrated, three things strike the stranger at once the taurnber of beggars, the number of spirit shops, and the number of money changers ; and each time one visits the place, the more one is impressed with the idea, that one-third of the po pulation live in billiard-rooms and cafes. COAL HOLE TAVERN, STRAND. —This old esta blished and highly respectable place of public amusement con tinues to draw from all quarters. It is crowded every night by Noblemen and Gentlemen, who, we need hardly say, evinc e the highest gratification from the well conducted and unri v died convivial meetings. The singing is, as it always has been, of the first order. The wines and spirits are of the choicestquality. Covent- gar d en yesterday presented a great profusion of fine vegetables, much reduced in price. Green peas were in great abundance from Bd. to 10d. per quart. There was a great variety of new potatoes from 2d. to 10d. per lb. The cauliflowers and French beans were also reasonable , and in great perfecti on, as were also spring cabbages and Cos let tuces ; strawberries from 6d. to 10d. per pottle, and a large supply of green gooseberries; asparagus was scarce, in con• sequence of the want of rain; and the flower-garden exhi bited a variety of flowers and rare plants which were in much demand.

The lot got off nearly abreast at the first start, Anchorite with a slight lead, having lon and Sprat laid up ; he continued in front, had a little the best of it all the way, and won cleverly by a length. Sprat and Miss Cantley were well up with the second. Lord Exe ter declared to win with Salute. Newmarket, Wednesday Night. In the first race this afternoon Calmnck made running throughout, and won in a canter. The Plate was a more spi rited affair. Alfred took the lead at a good pace, and at the Duke's Stand seemed to have the race in hand. As he neared the cords, however, he tired, and Mendizabal, struggling on, got too near to be pleasant ; so near, indeed, that the little horse had, or appeared to have, some trouble to win by a neck. Previous to the raco 11 to 1 had been taken about hire for the Goodwood Stakes. July Stakes.—lt seems to be the opinion of the majority of those who were near the chair at the finish that the Nina filly was third. This,,perhaps, as the three were so nearly abreast, is a matter of indifference. Nor should we have noticed it again but for the purpose of deciding a number of small bets on " the best deserving," as the country people term it.

THANES ROYAL YACHT CLLR.—The match amongst the second-class yachts of this club fell short of the usual attraction ; nor was it so well attended as many of its predecessors, al though there was no lack of that respectability which distin guishes the company who receive tickets front the gentlemen of the Club. There are three classifications of yachts by the Thames Royal articles; those from 18 to 25 tons being the first ; those from 10 to 18 tons being the second ; and those under the latter being rated as third-class yachts, and only sailing above bridge. The present match had been appointed to take place on the 23d of June, but, in consequence of the demise of his late Majesty it was 'postponed until yesterday ; and the gentlemen of the Club testified their respect by wearing crape over their uniforms. There was not one change in the contest from the time of starting until their return. They went out from their stations at Greenwich in the same order as they returned, and this circumstance necessarily detracted from the pleasure and interest which would otherwise have been created. The Venus steamer had been engaged to ac company the match, and she left her moorings off the Tower at ten o'clock in the morning. On their arrival at Greene ich, the Cup (a very handsome one) was presented to Admiral Sir 'l'. Hardy for his inspection. At a little after eleven the boats drew to their baoys, under the superintendence of H. Harrison, Esq., the Commodore. Betting was very brisk. The Lady had at first, in consequence of her by-gone fame, been taken for choice against any other one, but there was very little money laid out upon her yesterday at starting. The Victorine was taken in preference, and the Alert stood well against the Lady Louisa. The wind was W. S. W., a good breeze, but could hardly be termed a whole sail wind. There w a s ardly an advantage in the station; they had good wide berths, in order that they might cant without the possibility of collision. There was no want of the usual alacrity when the signal was fired. The start took place at 53 minutes past eleven, arid they were all round at the same moment. The Victorine had decidedly the lead, and set her topsail first. She went by the town in advance, and, although the other two were running very prettily, the leading boat gained, and off East Greenwich was about three lengths ahead. The Alert was second in the start, and, although the Lady " walked the waters like a thing of life," she could not overhaul her opponent, nor did she ever show during the match in any situation but the rear, although her admirers de clared there was nothing in the running down, and she generally won her matches by beating up against a noser. She has not fallen off in her sailing ; it is, that the others have advanced, and that more attention has been paid to the science of sail ing. The topsails of the two leading boats stood like a board; in fact, all the craft were beautifully handled. They continued in this order right down to the flagboat, and at Broadness Point the Victorine was half a mile ahead at least. They weathered the station at Gravesend thus :—The Victorine at 31 min. lib sec. past three, the Alert at 44 min. 22 sec. past three, and the Lady Louisa at 53 min. 10 sec. past three. The tide had ebbed half an hour before the arrival of the first boat, and as the leading boats were nearly becalmed they were driving up for a few minutes, with scarcely a puff of wind. At this time the longboat of the Russian frigate, lying off Gravesend, was rowed alongside the Venus, and the officer in charge of the boat requested, in the name of the Captain of the frigate, that the company would do him the honour to view his vessel. The opportunity was gladly embraced, and there were scarcely twenty left on board the steamer. The frigate took some time to inspect, and the Commodore was obliged to wait nearly an hour for the return of the company, the greatest part of whom were ladies. After acknowledging the polite ness of the Russian Captain by three guns and as many cheers, which were returned, the Venus was put on hard, and overtook the second boat at Erith. The Alert had gained wonderfully on the Victorine, and between this and Woolwich neared her every time she went about. The 5t02 on the Victorine was taken in several places, and the Alert tried all her manoeuvring to get by her to windward. The fl tgboat was at length in sight, and the Victorine had hardly the lead. The Alert winded the flagboat. The Victorine made a short trip and weathered the flagboat first. They came in thus :—The Victorine, fifty minutes past six, and the Alert at fifty minutes eighteen seconds. After waiting the usual time (one hour) the cup was pre sented o n the after-deck to the owners of the victorious yacht, and the health of " The Queen, and long life to her," was drank with enthusiasm. The day ' passed off very comfortably, and dancing continued until a late hour. AP OZER.-The Queen, in an interview with the Duke of Norfolk, preparatory to the creating her brother a Knight of the Garter, after the preliminaries were arranged with the Earl Marshal, said, with simple naivete, " My Lord Duke, where am 1 to wear the Garter ?" The Duke, in reply, said he recollected seeing some print of Queen Anne, in which the Garter was placed on her left arm. By reference to vari ous authorities that fact was established. PREPARATAVN;i lot the ULNERAL ELECTiON. CALNg.--I(ifa Sheitidinh Juts addressed the electors ; he is a thorough Liberal, and his return is certain. CHIPPENIIAIII.—The field is still open here for a Re. former ; there is no doubt but a Liberal would succeed, even now o so tired are the electors of dictation. MALMESBURY.—It is hardly known whether there will bc a contest here. Mr. Salter is not quite so sanguine as hf. was ; after announcing that he should carry three-fourths of the electors with him, he has dropped down to a majo rity of only 10. MARLBOROUGH.—The Tories here are very unhappy ; they hoped that their thorough subserviency to their master, the Marquis of Aylesbury, would he kept secret ; they are ashamed of their bonds, but are afraid to break them. HAVERFORDWEST.—Mr. Scourfield has addressed a communication to the electors of the town and county of Haverfordwest, and the boroughs of Marberth and Fish guard, in which he contradicts the report that it is not his intention to come to the . poll. He says, " I should be guilty of gross injustice, to you and myself, were I not to give you the opportunity of recording your suffrages." SHREWSBURY.—Mr. J. C. Pelham, the present Tory Member, again offers himself in conjunction with Mr. Jen kins. Mr. Francis Dashwood is the second Reform can didate. SHOREHAM.—Mr. D. Salomons, the late Sheriff of Lon don, is announced as a candidate, in opposition to the pre sent Tory Members. STAFFORDSHIRE, SOUTH.—The statement of a " corn promise" having taken place between the Conservative and Liberal parties is now by both repudiated. An address, calling on the electors to refrain from promising their votes, and stating that a second Liberal candidate will certainly come forward, has been issued ; and the Conservatives, it is believed, are also seeking another candidate. Canvassing, it is stated, has partially commenced. STAFFORDSHIRE, NORTH.--No opposition seems to he contemplated to the return of Sir Oswald Mosley and Mr. Buller. STAFFORD.—A coalition has been effected between Ba ring and Farrand, in or d er t o expe l C apta i n Ch etwyn d e. Th Gallant Captain will achieve an easy victory. SANDWICH.—The infamous system of exclusive dealing is openly advocated by the Tories in this place in de fiance of reason, justice, and their own positive interest. It has also been said (and with too much truth we fear) that at no former election has there been so much intimidation exercised as during the last week where Toryism could wield the least particle of power. Sir I'. Troubridge and Sir J. Carmac, the two popular and Liberal candidates, will return hither in a few days.—Kent Herald. EAST KENT.---Mr. J. P. Plumptre, the self-styled “un flincing Reformer" of other times, and the high-flying Tory of the present day, has ventured to present himself again to the electors of East Kent—those electors whom he has so grossly duped, so treacherously deceived. Sir Edward Knatchbull stands on his old Tory ground of resistance to Reform. The Tory landlords will of course drive up their tenantry to the hustings for him, as they would drive their cattle to the market. Such is the mockery of a county election under the 501. rental clause.—lbid. CANTERBURY.—The Reformers are in high spirits at the favourable prospects of Lord Albert Conyngliam and Mr. Villiers. The Tory understrappers are busy in their old work of intimidation ; with what success, remains to be seen. Mr. Bradshaw is still absent, and many persons doubt whether he will return. Of Mr. Gipps we hear and see very little.—lbid. A TORY . CANVASS.—Candidates—" My name is Mr. B."—" and my name is Mr. G.—We solicit your vote and interest, but fear it is to no purpose." Freeman—" Gentle men, I think it's bat of little use—(out walks Mr. B.) — for I almost have pledged myself not to vote again with out the protection of the ballot." Mr. G.—" Oh! d—n the ballot system !" Freeman—" Sir, show me an enemy to the ballot, and I'll show you an enemy to freedom of election."--(Out walks Mr. G.)—lbid. BARNSTAPLE.—It is said by a Tory paper that Mr. Henry Gompertz, of Portland-place, will offer himself on Conservative principles, to oppose that sound Reformer, Mr. J. P. B. Chichester. BRIDGEWA.TER.—Mr. Courtenay has started on the Conservative interest, in conjunction with Mr. H. Broad wood, against Messrs. Sheridan and Tynte. CALNE.—Lord Shelburne, eldest son of the Marquis of Lansdowne, will be the new member in place of Mr. Fox Strangways, who stands for Dorsetshire, in place of Mr. Ponsonby. LAMBETH.—Mr. Welford, a gentleman who holds Radi cal opinions, is a fourth candidate for this borough. LANCASHIRE, SOUTH.—Whenever Mr. Stanley and Mr. Townley, the Reform candidates, have yet appeared, they have been received in the most enthusiastic manner, and everything promises well, if a proper degree of activity he displayed by the parties who have undertaken to be canvassers on this occasion. LYME REGIS.—Mr. Renn Hampden, a Conservative, has started for this place in opposition to Mr. Pinney, the present Liberal Member. N E WCASTLE-UN DER.- L YNE.--Mr. Ashford Wise, of Clayton, who was in the field on Liberal principles has retired. BATIL—The Chronicle, a paper in the pay of the Bath Tories, says " that the canvass of Lord Powerscourt and Mr. Bruges is proceeding in the most gratifying manner," adding that it is not true that Mr. Bruges contemplates flight ; but on the contrary, coute qui coute, we suppose he is determined to go to the poll. SOMERSET (WEST).—At a Tory meeting held at Taun_ ton, on Saturday, the sum of 3,0001. was subscribed in aid of the funds for returning Mr. 'F. Ackland, to whore the Conservatives wish to give as colleague Mr. Dickinson, son of the late Member. An active canvass is proceeding for Mr. Tynte and Mr. Sandford. WINDSOR.—We rejoice to learn that Sir John Elley retires from Windsor, so that Mr. Robert Gordon, a gen _ tleman whose constant political conduct is well know n in this county, will be returned without opposition. We m ay congratulate the electors of Windsor on the choice which they have made.—Sherborne Journal. [The simple truth is, that Sir John finds himself in a woful minority. R e was before seated by a Tory Election Committee.] NORTH DERBYSHIRE.—Mr. Evans has commenced an active canvass, in which he is zealously supported by the friends of the Liberal cause. WARWICK.—Sir C. Douglas is disqualified not only by his votes, but by his ignorance also. The return of Mr. Collins and Mr. King is certain.—Leamington Chronicle. WARWICKSHIRE, NORTH.—We are glad to hear th a t there is great probability that a Liberal candidate will come forward for this division. THE SUN, LONDON., FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1837 tended to retire;,called out the lion. James Bruce. Capt. Wemyss has YiFhleii to the .oish'es Of the Constit ucncy, and Mr. Bruce will best coniiilt his safety tenil el'edit by re treating as speedily as possible. CUPAR BURGHS.—Mr. Ellice stands for these burghs, 'inwever unwilling Mr. Maitland Makgilj may be to believe t ; and we have no doubt, when the day of Trial comes, that the constituency will prove themselves shrewd enough to distinguish a real and thoroughgoing Reformer from a sham one. STIRLINGLINGSHIRE.—This is one of the COUtilleS 0 which the Tories promised themselves undisturbed pos• session, but their pleasant dream has been rudely inter• rupted. Colonel Abercromby's canvass proceeds most favourably. LANARKSIITAE.—The lion. Charles Murray, of the Dunmore fumily, a young man of Liberal principles and fine talents, comes forward with the full support of his uncle t!:e Duke of Hamilton and the whole Liberal party. Mr. Hope Vere has withdrawn his claims, and most handsomely recommended the electors to unite in supporting Mr. Mur ray. No doubt is entertained of his success, though the Tories have been canvassing most assiduously for Mr. Mac donald Lockhart. ARGYLESIIIRE.—The merits of the present excellent Member, Mr. Campbell, of Islay, arc too well understood to permit a doubt of his being returned by a majority of two to one. PEEELESHIRE.—The Hon. Baronet, who has so long misrepresented this county in Parliament—now that Mr. Gibson Carmichael, younger of Castlecraig, has presented himself as a candidate for the representation of this consti. tuency in Parliament, he the Honourable Baronet, has wisely intimated his intention of withdrawing from the field, rightly deeming it better to withdraw from the con test than to expose himself to the mortification of a de feat. Notwithstanding, the county is now the scene of a keen and spirited contest, Mr. Forbes Mackenzie, of Port more, a new Tory aspirant, has had hardihood enough to take the field against Mr. Gibson Carmichael.—Kelso Chronicle. HADDINGTON BURGHS.—Sir Thomas Hepburn will put Mr. Steuart to a good deal of trouble and no small expense, but will not carry these burghs, the present Member hav ing a largetmajority of the Iladdington voters, and North Berwick, it is understood, to a man. On the other band, the young Conservative has,' it is said, a majority of pro mises in Dunbar, Lauder, and Jedburgh. Ant BURGHS.—We regret to see a second candidate appearing on the Reform interest for these burghs, which have been ably and faithfully represented by Lord James Steuart. "If Mr. Johnstone is a sincere Reformer, we hope be will withdraw ; and if he does not, we trust the Liberal constituency have sufficient sense to avoid a divi sion which might be fatal to their cause." AYRSHIRE.—Lord Kelburne has started for this county, in opposition to M r . D un l o p, th e present M em b er . Th e Liberal party are remarkably strong in Ayrshire, and there is no risk in saying that his Lordship has not the remotest chance of success. Lord Kelburne commenced his canvass for the county to-day under very encouraging circumstances. We under stand arrangements are in progress for bringing forward a Conservative candidate for the representation of this dis trict of burghs. —Ayr Observer. ROXIIURGHSHIRE.—AdmiraI Elliot being called away by his professional duties, the .Liberal electors have offered their support to the Hon. J. E. Elliot, his younger bro ther, who has agreed to stand. No doubt is entertained that this county will be rescued from Tory domination. BANFFSHIRE.—The report that the Hon. Mr. Duff is to dispute this county with the present Tory Member, is, we believe, unfounded ; but it is to be hoped that a Liberal candidate will yet be found.

DI;NDEE.—The contest fur the representation of Dun dee, in the ensuing Parliament, will be between Mr. Glad stone, of Liverpool, who has for a long period of years been the unflinching advocate of ultra-Tory principles, and Sir Henry Parnell, the present member. Every species of de ception is practised to secure votes ; but notwithstanding this " contemptible" conduct of the Tories, the return of Sir Henry Parnell, who is at present among his constitu ents, is considered certain. The Reformers of Dundee have just published some curious letters, under the title of " Tricks of the Gladstonians," relative to the way in which signatures were procured to the requisition. WicToNsiiinE.--Mr. Murray, of Broughton, contests this county against Sir Andrew Agnew. For the following intelligence, we are mainly indebted to our accurate and able contemporary the Scotsman: Before proceeding to show the election prospects in this important part of the empire, we must apprise our readers that a new mode of bribery has been discovered. " The Tories," says the Scotsman, of Wednesday, "in this county have discovered a new mode of bribery, which, we learn, has already succeeded in one or two cases, the whole particulars of which are in our possession. They offer fifty or a hundred pounds for the property of a Liberal voter more than it is worth, and if he yields to the tempta tion, his vote, though not gained to them, is lost to the Liberal party. An elector must be very blind, if he does not see that this is neither more nor less than taking a bribe in an unusual way. The old practice was to give a man fifty pounds to vote for a Tory ; the new is, to give him fifty pounds to abstain from voting for a Whig ! We could not hays believed that any man with a decent coat on his back would disgrace himself by an act like this, but such is the fact. If the practice is continued, we shall publish the names of all the sellers after the election." INVERNESS-SHIRE.—In this county, where " the Chis holm" expected to walk the course, Mr. Grant, of Glen moriston, again comes forward, and, we rejoice to add, with improved chances of success. ORKNEY.—The Hon. Frederick Dundas comes forward in the Reform interest. There is strong reason to believe that he will carry the county if contested ; but Mr. Balfour has not yet issued his address, and rumour says he is to re tire. It is therefore probable that Mr. Dundas will be returned without a struggle. CAITIINESS.—There is no public man connected with Scotland whose conduct has excited such deep disgust as Sir George Sinclair. To be a Pharisee is bad ; to be an apostate is worse ; but to combine the two characters, is to forfeit all title to respect. Mr. Traill is an excellent man, a tried and consistent Reformer ; and we are happy to learn that his prospects are flattering.

IRELAND. We have not room to enter into details to-clay, and there fore cannot do better than adopt the general information conveyed by our excellent Contemporary, the Dublin Even ing Post, in the following paragraph : " The work goes bravely on. Everywhere—North, West, East, and South—the people are up and doing. It is a gratifying sight to behold the energy, the alacrity, the Orang zeal, and th e confidence, of our young Queen's friends— that is, of a ll h er faithful subjects ; for, as to the pooremen, we ne e d scarce l y ta k e t h em i nto account. Indeed, we le arn t h at one port i on of them are now busily employed in getting up an address to the King of Han over. What, d o y ou thi n k ' t i s a li e ? U pon my 'tis true.' The matter has been seriously mooted in the Cor poration of Dublin ; and the parties are at this moment casting about for a Deputation to his Whiskered Majesty ; but, like the Carlton Club, they lack funds. The Bill just passed, to prevent the alienation or delapidation of Corpo rate property, prevents them plunging their paws into the funds of the City ; and then, being a Beggarly Corpora tion, they h ave not money 'enough to expend out of their own proper pockets." The evening organ of the Orangemen, the Mail, speaks out pretty plainly the purposes of its party, by the avowal of the methods which it seems the Irish Tories are now adopting to squ eeze th e i r nom i nees i nto P ar li ament. tng Local i Com m i ttees ( says our C ontemporary) are forming indoth the several counties, cities, and boroughs ; and neither money nor exertions will be wanted to ensure success in a struggle which is literally one for life or death. We understand that her Majesty will dissolve the Parliament i n S tate on Tuesday next. Orders have been given for her robes to be got ready by that day. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAIL- WAY. 1 The Directors of this rapidly progressing great national undeftdking treated their friends and a large and brilliant Party to an excursi(;;; the railway yesterday at one o'cLck. The road from the si!eon at Euston-grove to fr•rrning a route of twenty-three ftiliel/ and now finished in all essential detai4, was, as upon the occasion C! a former trial, the length of tfid etT4raion. It was ar ranged that the Visitors should start in two trains ; and long before the time of departure, the entrance to the rail way and all. places where a near view of the proceedings could be had were densely, crowded. There were a great number of carriages filled with fashionable company drawn up before the gates. Among them were Lord Sindon, Lord Bexley, Lord Northwiek, Lord Hatherton, the Hon. Dudley Ryder, Sir J. It. Reid, M.P., Mr, Tooke, M.P., Sir John Lubbock, Sir James M'Adam, Sir J, Sebright, Mr. Pack, M.P., and a number of ladies of distinction, who seemed to await the signal for startin g w i t h i mpat i ence. .The first train started off as the clock struck one. It consisted of 14 carriages of comfortable dimensions inside, and beautifully ornamented on the exterior. It proceeded at first very slowly, but it soon accelerated its progress, an at the end of a few minutes it was seen sweeping along like a meteor, at the rate of thirty miles an hour, and exciting wonder and delight in the thousands of spectators who lined the way on both sides. At a quarter-past one, the second train, consisting of 16 carriages, proceeded, and achieved the distance in an hour and 25 minutes. The first train carried 150 persons, and the second 200. As the carriages rushed along they were loudly cheered by the spectators, and most enthusiasti cally so by the navigators in the barges on the canal. The arrival at Box-moor was greeted by the cheers of many thousands. Each carriage has room for 18 inside and 40 outside passengers. The second train passed through the Primrose hill tunnel, which is 1,605 yards in length, in about two and one-third minutes. It is ventilated by four shafts. The offices at Euston-grove are now completed, and their con struction and machinery include all the advantages derived from the experience of other railways. The same remark applies to the laying down of the rails, and the turning of the arches of the viaducts over the common roads. In many of the arches the bricks are laid on obliquely, and they have a strange effect on the eye. Some weeks must elapse before the offices at Box-moor are completed. The passage through the Kensal-green tunnel, a distance of 313 yards, was finished in three quarters of a minute. The stupendous embankment which crosses the valley of the Brent is nearly a mile long. The Watford embankment is more than a mile long, and its height is 45 feet. The Watford tunnel is 1,786 yards long. It is ventilated in the centre by a shaft 40 feet wide. The passage occupied three minutes. The company of both trains were regaled by the Di rectors in a sumptuous manner under a tent erected in a field in Box-moor. The company returned to the car riages at a quarter past four o'clock, and arrived at the Camden-town station, a distance of twenty-three miles, within an hour. The visitors expressed themselves much gratified by the hospitality and politeness of the Directors and their Secretary. The pleasures of the excursion were abated by an acci dent at the close, but it was more alarming than distress ing. Through the awkward carelessness of a man who had the management of the first train, in conducting it to its termination after it had been detached from the engine that it might arrive by the force of the remaining impetus, assisted by its own gravity, along an inclined plane, the checks were turned the wrong way, and the impetus, in stead of boing rapidly diminished, continued so strong as to push the front carriage against the wall of the receiving house, which it broke through. The concussion threw Mr. Campbell and Sir John Reid off their scats against the op posite side of the vehicle, and they were stunned and scratched in the face. By the aid of restoratives they were enabled to return home without surgical assistance. ANECDOTE OF WILLIANI IV.—About ten years ago Mr. P—_ was appointed Vice-Consul at Hayti. Ho had not long continued to discharge the duties attendant in that capacity, when he was suddenly seized with an attack of the yellow fever, prevalent in that climate, and, at the expira tion of a few days, he died. With his death all emolument ceased, and in consequence of his not possessing any property, save the income attached to his appointment, his widow and four children were th rown comparat i ve l y h e l p l ess on t h e wor ld, without the means of support. Mr. P--- was a man who had long served the country, and was formerly in Buenos Ayres as Vice-Consul, and by the manner in which he subse. quently discharged the duties that devolved on him when in Hayti, he became very popular, so much so, indeed, that tke merchants and residents caused a monument to be erected to his memory, and on the departure of Mrs.' P---- and her fa mily, the President, General Boyer, strongly recommended her by letter to the attention of the British Government. On her arrival in England, in a very weak and delicate state, with scarcely the means of six months' support, she was advised by some of bee friends to memorialise Lord Palmerston, stating the position in which she was placed, and resting a hope, al though the widows of Consuls are not provided for in the form of a pension, or in any other way, that in her particular case, and in consequence of the long services of her husband, up wards of twenty-five years, his Majesty's Government would be pleased to forego the usual course and remunerate her, since she had no other source on which to depend. After various fruitless exertions to see the Foreign Secretary (Lord Palmer ston), she eventually gained an interview with him, when his Lordship told her that he was sorry he could not concur with her wishes, still less could he hold out any hope that he could in any way serve her, since it would be forming a pre cedent for future applications. She was then advised to ad dress the King, and his Secretary, Sir Herbert Taylor, having been a friend of her husband, she determined on going to Brighton, where the Court then resided, and calling on Sir Herbert at the Palace, acquainted him with the object of her visit. After some conversation the Secretary went into his Majesty's closet, and before many minutes had elapsed re turned to Mrs. P--- with the pleasing intelligence that his Majesty had been pleased to allow her a certain sum adequate to the wants of herself and children. After thanking Sir H. Taylor for his attention, and at the moment she was about to retire, Mrs. P---- thus addressed the Secretary May I beg, Sir Herbert, if I am not soliciting tco much, to ask one more favour? My health is greatly impaired, and lam no in consequence of residing in a hot climate, added to the loss of my husband, reduced to such a very delicate state that I may not live many months; the pension his Majesty has so kindly granted me will cease should I die ; can you, by any possibility, have it transferred to my four children, who have no support but that ?" " I really cannot promise you that much," said Sir Herbert, smiling, " but I will speak to his Majesty on the subject," at the same time retiring for that purpose, and on his return to the lady, he told her he was happy to say the King had been pleased to grant her request, by which 1001. out of the pension granted was transferred equally between the children for life, and before Mrs. P. had arrived in London, she found an order had already arrived at the Treasury to pay her the necessary amount when due. This is only one of the many instances that may be cited to prove the kind and disinterested feeling of the late King to wards those in difficulty. The Earl and Countess of Mansfield gave their first " strawberry party" this season on Ttleday, at their splendid mansion at Hampstead. Shortly after four the carriages of the nobility began to arrive. The Earl of Wilton and Count Danniskiold, in the noble Earl's pony phaeton (the beautiful " bays" and outriders were die admiration of several sporting noblemen); the Marchioness of Ailesbury and Countess Danniskiold, in a carriage and four with outriders, and many other of the leading fashionables on this occasion graced the scene by their new and unique vehicles of the last fashion. The Duke of Wellington, Marquis of Granby, Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, Marquis Douro, Marquis and Mar chioness of Downshire, Countess of Verulam, Earl of Wilton, Count and Countess Danniskiold, Lady Augusta Somerset, Lady Georgiana Codrington, Earl and Countess Cadogan, Ladies A. and H. Cadogan, Countess of Chesterfield, Earl of Aberdeen, Countess of Jersay, Countess of Pembroke, Prince Nicholaz Esterhazy, Count and Countess Pozzo di Borgo, and nearly all the principal nobility were amongat the large party assembled. Extract of a letter from a lady, dated Saugor (in the Dce,!an), April 15, 1837, received on the 12th lust. (via Marseilles) :—" A great degree of alarm exists here at pre sent. Yesterday a meeting was held at the General's to con side... what steps should he taken to arrest the progrcas the plague is now making. Last rains (last rainy season) a re port was in circulation that this disease was existing at a place, called Pallee, about 180 miles from this. Some thought the disease was mistaken, and, in general, it was thought to be a mistake altogether ; the cold weather, it was hoped, would stop it, bit it has only increased. It is now raging at Joud pore, within four miles of Neemuch, and four marches from here ; five thousand in a few days at a small village—so many died that there was no wood to burn the bodies, or indeed people left to do it. Sir C. Metcalfe has issued a very long minute for its prevention, and for the protection of the wes• tern frontier ; and, I believe, four companies are to go out from this to protect the Ghauts, but if they are not quick about it, I fear the precaution will scarcely be of use. A greater degree of security prevailed, as it was supposed the plague could not exist in the climate of India, nor has it ever been known, except for a few weeks in 1819 and 1820, and then soon disappeared. What a dreadful thing to think of and expect !" _ - - Wednesday morning a professional gentleman, of the name of Newport, came from Worcester by the Paul Pry night coach. On arriving at the Gloucester Coffee-house, he took a cab for the purpose of proceeding to the Bank of Eng land. Ile had in his posscsAon upwards of 7,0001. in cash and securities, contained in a small portmanteau, which he placed by his side in the vehicle. On reaching the middle of Oxford Street the cab-horse fell with considerable force, and both gen tleman and driver were thrown from the cab, but luckily escaped without being seriously injured. Mr. N. sprang to his feet, and looked in the cab for his portmanteau, but it had disappeared. A crowd had begun to collect. Mr. N., calling out most lustily " My portmanteau—they have stolen it," looked eagerly round and discovered a man at a short distance in the act of walking off with the property. He was immedi ately pursued, upon which he dropped the portmanteau, and, after a sharp chase, succeeded in getting off. .........- SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC J 0 U it:N ciLS• When Addison's Cato was first brought on the stag e the author, who had counted on the fierce hostility' of the Tories on account of the many high-seunding.tri butes paid by him to liberty, was agreeably surprised to find that the Tories had made up their minds not to be outdone in their applause by the Whigs, and the succOgN of the play was in consequence far beyond wirat the author in his most sanguine moments could have anticipated. The letter of Lord Durham seems to be another of those rare productions which please all par ties. The Tories are quite in raptures with it, and our sincere contemporary (the Standard) once the bitter est of his Lordship's enemies, is so much delighted with this production that it actually bespea!;s him for the Conservative Cabinet which we are to have " be fore the commencement of the next year." " May we not _hope," exclaims the Standard," that Lord Durham w ill g ive to his Royal Mistress the advantage of his character ; experience, and energy as a member of that Cabinet. It used to be thought that there was some difference between Lord Durham and the To ries ; and yet there is nog a sentiment in Lord Dur ham's letter that he has not before expressed. But we are told that the Tories subscribe to everything he has now advanced. "We defy Lord Durham," says the Standard, " to point out a sinc2;io political prin ciple in his address upon which Sir R. Peel has not, by anticipation, declared himself, and acte4 as far as - he was permitted to act ; and we offer the same de fiance as to the single political principle in the address, at which his Lordship is not at issue with Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Hume. The Conservatives are Reformers, and at present the only effectual Reformers." The Tories arc so far the only effectual Reformers, that by their majority in the House of Lords they can determine the amount of reform which the people shall be al lowed to obtain. But from the moment of the Duke of Wellington's resignation in 1830 to the present time the Tories have uniformly been opposed to all reform. They opposed the Reform Bill in principle and detail, and only yielded at last to compulsion. They opposed the English Municipal Reform Bill, made common cause with the town-clerks and all the corrupt functionaries of the old Corpora tions, and, deeming it imprudent at last to reject the Bill altogether, they allowed themselves to be outwitted by passing it in a form which they thought would ensure its rejection by the Commons. They rejected the Irish Municipal Reform Bill because the Irish, being aliens- in blood, in language, and in reli gion, were not entitled to the privileges bestowed on Englishmen. They now, it is true, profess their at tachment to the Reform Bill, but this profession de ceives no one. The Liberals seek to effect through the Reform Bill improvement into all our institutions ; the Tories seek through the Reform Bill to obstruct all attempts at improvement. Lord Durham says, " I wish to rally as large a portion of the British people as possible around the existing institutions of the country—the Throne, Lords, Commons, and the Established Church. I do not wish to make new institutions, but to preserve and strengthen the old. Herein lies the difference between me and my oppo nents. Some would confine the advantages of those institutions to as small a class as p9ssible ; I would throw them open to all who had the ability to comprehend them, and the vigour to protect them. Others, again, would annihilate them for the purpose of forming new ones on fanciful and untried principles. I would, I repeat, preserve them, but increase their efficiency, and add to the number of their supporters." Wherein consists the difference between his Lordship and the Tories ? In the inter pretation to be put on these principles. The Tories professed before the passing of the Reform Bill as they do now, " an attachment to the existing institu tions of the country—the Throne, Lords, Commons, and the Established Church ;" and yet they all but plunged the county in civil war to maintain a system of representation which excluded from the suffrage both the intelligence and the property of the country, and gave to certain Members of the House of Lords the power of returning, through their creatures, a ma jority of the House of Commons. Their attachment to the Established Church is shown by cherishing all the abuses in it which have a tendency to excite dis cord throughout the community, and to render the Clergy odious in the eyes of the people, by exhibi ting them as opposed to all measures of utility and improvement. Lord Durham seeks to strengthen the institutions of the country, by rendering them more and more fitted to promote the true interests of the people ; the Tories, whilst professing- attachment to these institutions, would weaken them b y seeking to convert them into instruments for enabling the few to advance their interests at the expense of the many. Lord Durham looks to the good which may be effected under our institutions ; the Tories only admire in them what facilities they afford for protecting all corrupt in terests, for opposing education, obstructing the forma tion of local courts, and defeating all other judicial Reforms, and administering the Government with an utter disregard of economy. The call for organic Reforms is the result of the opposition of the Tories to all Reform ; and now that the Throne and the Minis ters of the Crown draw together, that call will cease to be heard. It is understood that her Majesty is fully impressed with the necessity of not weakening the Executive by withholding from it any power necessary to time proper working of the Constitution. The col lision between the two Houses was the result of a conviction entertained by the factious Peers that the Reform Ministers had not at their command the whole of the powers of the Executive. The Reform Bill was only passed when the factious Peers saw that the King was in earnest.' With a Ministry possessed of the just influence of the Crown, and a majority of the House of Commons, a factious majority in the llluse of Lords will become impossible ; for there arc Constitutional means for meeting the evil, and the knowled,ie of this will prevent the factious Lords from provoking time remedy. With regard to those who would '' annihilate our Institutions for the purpose of forming new ones on fanciful and nitried principles," they bare been encouraged by the Tories, who have always been more attached to those who advocate wild and visionary reforms than to those who seek to im prove our Institutions. Every One knows that Sheri dan eagerly caught hold of the words " oftener if need be," in claim fur " Annual Parliaments, or oftener if need be," to disguise his real opposition to Reform, under the prolesion of his being " an oftener if need be" Reformer. The abstract right of nations to change their Institutions will not be disputed ; but wise men will only have re course to the exercise of that right in cases of extremity. It has been proved by experience that re volutions, however defensible they may be on principle, are always attended by dreadful calamities, and in their innnediaie results seldom answer the expectations of those who planned them. That the Tories would have plunged England ireo a revolution we think, unquestionable. Earl Grey's Ministry sta ) :e4 the plague by identifying the people with our institutions. The abstract right to change institutions became a question for speculation rather than for popular agita• mien ; and nothing but the fatuity of the Tories in seeking to demonstrate by their inert opposition to all measures of improvement, that the House of Lords could not work ill harmony with a House of Com mons returned by the people, could have again re vived in the people a desire for further organic changes. Most of the disputes in the world have arisen from the different sense attached to the same words. 'flie Tories and Lord Durham equally profess attachment to our institutions, but the real objects of their respective attachments are Coto cafe different. The Tories seek to perpe tuate and increase abuses ; Lord Durham to cut them up by the roots. " Our readers may recollect (says the Standard) that on the day of Lord Durham's re turn to England, when we could possibly have no knowledge of his political sentiments, except what we derived from his personal character, from his public addresses just before his departure for St. Peters burgh, and from the general report of his excellent and manly conduct at the Court of the Czar— our readers may recollect that on the very day of Lord Durham's return we held out a confi dent hope that he would take that very line in politics which he has taken in his address." But we do not take great credit for sagacity in prophesying all this long before. When the
