Previous, however, to entering i:do the hallowed obligation of marriage, it becomes an impressive duty i.o',only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from umte i mpurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have in entailed upon it. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the Premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer mere than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, °tiering hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity. The easy cares of Isiarried life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the temale habit is often con stitutionally weak—yet it CAII be strengthened, and deficient energy lin. Proved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, zs well as in every relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our abi lity to cure speedily, and with effect.

We have had a fair extent of business in cotton this week; but the import being very heavy has tended to keep the market quiet, and prices are barely supported: the only alteration we can make, however is in the middle and lower classes of American, which are very abundant, and may be quoted Ad. lower.

Since the assassination of the Duke d'En ghien, a profound sadness seemed to overwhelm the chief of this glorious branch of the royal house, and the burden of years, added to long grief, had caused a dejection from which he could be seldom roused. It seemed as if this noble mind, without being utterly extinguished, had retired within itself. It may be said, that, reading the future, and throwing a long look upon the past, the last of the Condes wept over a name which no one was to bear after him, and, placing himself be tween the dungeon of Vincennes and the fatal alcove of St. Leu, the illustrious old man was mourning over his whole race. Once his solitude was disturbed by a person whose presence surprised him : the Prince de Talleyrand went to pay his re spects to the Prince de Conde ; and the current saying in con sequence of this visit was, that the crooked line paid a visit to the straight line. Either from confusion in consequence of his great age, or from one of those moments of vivacity which now and then re-appeared in his Highness, he mistook, or pretended to mistake, the Prince de Talleyrand for his uncle, the Grand Almoner of France, at that niomeet Archbishop of Rheims, and a venerable man, for whom the Prince felt much affection. " Archbishop," said he, " come and see me as often as you can : I shall always be happy to receive you ; but I entreat of you as a favour, never bring your nephew, the Bishop of Autun, with you." " Now that your Serene High ness has expressed your sentiments," answered the Bishop, Prince de Talleyrand will never present himself before yo u.

We regret to have to state that the experiment of the de scent of the parachute has terminated fatally to Mr. Cocking. In consequence of the announcement that he was to ascend in his parachute suspended to the great Nassau Balloon, a great number of persons, amongst whom were many of the first Nobility of the country, assembled in the Gardens to witness , the experiment. Without the Gardens, upon Vauxhall-bridge, and upon Millbank, the crowd was immense. The shape, dimensions, and construction of the parachute have been already described ; it may therefore be sufficient to say, that it was in shape an inverted cone, not very unlike an umbrella turned upside down. It was in circumference 107 feet four inches. From the bottom of this machine, which was constructed of fine Irish linen, a basket of wicker was suspended, in which Mr. Cocking placed himself. The distance between this basket and the car, in which were Mr. Green and Mr. Spen cer, was between forty and fifty feet. The ascent of the balloon took place about twenty minutes before eight o'clock. When Mr. Cocking entered the basket of the parachute he was perfectly collected, and exhibited no appearance of want of nerve, or indecision. Mr. F. Gye, who was particularly anxious in his attention to all the arrangements of the experiment, and who is entitled to every praise for the manner in which he exerted himself to prevent the possibility of accident, continually in the course of the day, and up to the very moment of the ascent of the bal loon, advised Mr. Cocking, if he felt the least timidity, to relinquish his attempt, and undertook to allay any ill-feeling that might arise amongst the public at the disappointment. Mr. Cocking, however, professed himself most anxious to carry his announcement into execution ; and after thanking Mr. F. Gye for his kindness and solicitude, professed himself most eager to ascend. At twenty minutes to eight o'clock, every thing being in readiness and the parachute attached to the car of the balloon, the ascent took place. Nothing could be more majestic. The weight and great extent of the para chute apparently rendered the motion of the balloon more steady than on any former ascent, and the almost total absence of wind assisted in keeping the balloon in a perfectly perpendicular position. There was not the slightest oscillation ; the balloon and parachute sailed through the air with a grandeur which ex ceeded anything of the kind ever before witnessed, and continued in sight for about ten minutes. A good deal of ballast was dis charged almost immediately over the enclosure, after which the huge machine rose rapidly, but not so suddenly as to break the even current of its course. It was expected by those in the gardens that Mr. Cocking would have descended so near Vauxhall as to afford them a view of his descent. This was not the case. Ile was lost in the clouds, and the company were for some time left in conjecture, but certainly not in an ticipation of the result of the experiment. A son of Mr. Gye was the first person who announced to our informant the fatal catastrophe. This gentleman followed on horseback, and ar rived in a field, near Lee, in Kent, just in time to learn that the parachute had descended with such violence that Mr. Cocking had lost his life in his experiment. The intelligence was not suffered to transpire for some time in hopes that the account might be incorrect, and that Mr. Cocking might have only been stunned, or have fainted, it being remembered that something of this sort occurred on the descent of M. Garnerin some years ago. It was, however, very shortly ascertained that the intelligence was too true. It appears that the descent of the parachute was made over a field close to Lee, that on ap proaching the ground the parachute, from some cause or other, most probably from the hoop which distended the external circumference being composed of a hollow tube of tin collapsed, and consequently opposed no resistance what ever to the atmosphere, but turned over and over in the air, and came down with a frightful velocity. Mr. Cocking was not, as we are informed at present, thrown out of the basket, but lie received a dreadful wound on the right temple, and had his ancle dislocated. lie moved his hand once after his fall, but exhibited no other signs of life. Several country people, who were close b y , procured a wattled hurdl e , pl ace d him up on it, an d conveye d him without delay to the Tiger's lya d tt i e c n a d l ed ass b i y sta D ne r e . was immediately m ; m bu edia ta t l e l me connected Headh o w e I nn,, endeavoured, with ato was Lu Vauxhal l ee in.o x 0 nI tailHhltlee , or to with was unavailable.

As much public anxiety must be produced by the deplorable accident which happened near this place an hour or two ago, I beg leave to state a few particulars which I witnessed con cerning, it. I was looking at the balloon with the parachute as it drifted steadily before a gentle wind and rose very slowly. After it was first pointed out to me, the parachute seemed to float without any oscillation, and to hung perpendicularly under the balloon. Shortly afterwards the balloon itself was slightly agitated, and was inclined considerably more to one side than when I first saw it, and the parachute did not appear to hang so perpendicularly as at first. While I was referring this to the balloon rising perhaps into a stratum of air with a some what greater velocity than the one it was leaving, the balloon and parachute adjusted themselves into their first position, and floated with as steady and as gentle a motion as before. In an instant afterwards, I observed the balloon shooting upwards with gre.it velocity, and the parachute, which had been suddenly separated from it, falling with great rapidity. I lost sight of the balloon, and my eye was fixed on the parachute. Knowing the use and object of a parachute, I was struck with the great velocity of its descent, from the instant of its liberation. The sky was serene ; the beams of the setting sun fell on the parachute, and every part was distinctly visible ; the breeze in th• region hi which it was descending, was so gentle as scarcely to exert any perceptible influence in turning it from ►ts perpendicular direction, and where I stood, about Ox bun- dred yards from where it alighted, the air did not wore the leaves of an elm tree. For a few moments the parachute de scended so beautifully, and preserved its position so steadily, notwithstanding its fearful motion, that I thought it would reach the ground in safety, and I felt relieved from an imense momentary excitement, from an apprehension flashing across my mind, that perhaps some human being was periling life it self in the experiment. Being ignorant of the real form of the parachute, I speak of it as it appeared from a distance. To my eye it had at round flattish shape, and at this moment it seemed to lean a little to one side ;it was not horizontal. It remained for a moment or two in this position ; all the while it was descend ing rapidly. It then fell, as it were, to the opposite side, but with a quicker motion than when it first lost its horizontal position. It now oscillated several times quickly. A sort of flapping motion was then perceptible, and the parachute appeared les sened in diameter. It then apparently turned over, and at this moment something fell out of it at a great height, which, for the instant I could keep it in sight, did not fall much faster than the parachute. The parachute again turned over, and, to me and some others standing near, it disappeared for the twinkling of an eye, and in the succeeding instant it was seen to have changed its flattish circular form to that of a long body, like an umbrella partially opened, or mom correctly, perhaps, to a balloon very much collapsed and descending with a great velocity. Some trees intervening preventod my fur ther observation. I made my way through the fields in the direction ha which I had seen it falling, and as I reached a spot at a little dis tance from where it fell I saw the lifeless body of the uafortu nate gentleman placed on a hurdle to be conveyed by some farm labourers to an inn at Lee. THE PARACHUTE. As a witness of the melancholy experiment of the unt ortu nate individual who has endeavoured to exhibit the power of descent by parachute from the balloon, I lament to desc ribs what I was an eye-witness of :—The noise produced, I s up pose from the breaking of the supporters, was astounding ; it indeed seemed impossible that an individual could live in suoh a situation. He reached the earth alive, but quite insensible!. He was alive for ten minutes after he came on the earth, but it was apparent that all was hopeless, from the great wound ow his temple. The place where he fell is called the Six Acre field, belonging to Mr. Norman, Lee, Kent. He was con veyed to the Tiger's Head public-house, kept by Mr. Thomas Seares. _ _ _ Previous to the falling of the parachute, something de scended from the car of the balloon, to all appearance like a large black handkerchief. Mr. and Mrs. Graham expressed much fear, and directed the person who drove our vehicle to hasten as quickly as possible, for if any assistance could be given we wished to be first on the spot. The above particulars, which, however, are but scanty, were given to us by Mr. Darby, artist in fireworks, at twelve o'clock o• Monday night. Foust O'CLOCK. A. m. Our reporter has just returned from Vauxhall gardens, but brings no tidings of the descent of the Nassau Balloon. At half-past three o'clock Mr. Thomas Hughes, a son of one of the proprietors, returned to the " Royal property," after a search for the descent of this pon derous machine, but could give no information respecting it. A crowd of persons are assembled around the gardens, in the hope that some news may arrive this morning of Mr. Green's safe descent, of which various rumours are in circulation. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Vauxhall Gardens were crowded during the whole of yes terday afternoon by an immense assemblage of persons, drawn together to witness the hazardous, and, wo regret to add, fatal experiment of Mr. Cocking to descend from an altitude of upwards of a mile in a parachute of his own invention. No attempt of a similar description hits been made in London, we believe, since the experiment of Monsieur Garnerin, upwards of thirty years ago ; and the greatest curiosity was naturally excited as to the result. The tiine fixed for the ascent of the aeronaut was five o'clock, but on our entering tke Gardens at that hour we found that the prooess of inflation of Mr. Green's Nassau balloon was not yet completed. This afforded us an opportunity of inspecting the parachute in which Mr. Cocking contemplated his awful descent, and we had some conversation with the unfortunate gentleman, .on the principle of his con trivance, and the altitude at wtioh he proposed to sever his connection with the balloon of Mr. Green. Mr. Cocking, who was a gentlemanly man, short in stature, and somewhat stout, and apparently of the eggs of fifty-two or fifty-three, gave the most obliging answers to our queries, and explained that his parachute was construct ed on a totally different plan from that of M. Garnerin. TI to latter he described as of the form of an umbrella, closed at tl le very moment of the descent, but expanded by the atmosphere as it approsched the earth, and forming a sort of canopy c iver the aeronaut. His para chute, on the contrary, was in the form of an umbrella re versed, the cavity containing the: air being turned uppermost, with the view, he said, of pre renting the oscillation which proved so disastrous to M. Gars term. Mr. Cocking expressed by en s the utmost confidence in the result of his experiment, but at appeared to us that it was a confidence which he did no't fee 1. His restless looks and nervousness of manner seemed to belie the bravery of his speech, and we thought more th are once that his mind was ill at ease, and that he would willingly have postponed the at tempt until a less hazardous trial had assured him of its safety. When questioned as to the dang eis, he remarked that none ex isted for him, and that the greatest peril, if any, would at tend the balloon of the Messrs. G re en, when suddenly relieved from the weight of himself and . parachute, about 500 cwt. Notwithstanding the confidence of this assertion, an uneasy twinkle in his eye convinced us th tat be was not so sure of this as he appeared to be. Towards six o'clock the Messr s. Green entered their bal loon, which was allowed to asce ad to an altitude of about 40 feet, that the parachute might I to brought directly under it, and securely fixed. Another b alf hour passed away, during which time Mr. Cocking was t =gaged in earnest conversa tion with several of his friends. All the preparations having been completed, Mr. Cocking (leaving previously stripped off his coat as too cumbersome, encl.:put on a light jacket) stepped into the Car amid the acclamation rof the company. Some of his friends offered him a glass of wine, which he drank, and having shaken them all cordiallsy by the hand, little knowing that it would be for the last time , the cords were loosened, and the balloon and its attendant; parachute mounted into the heavens amid the renewed cheer's ig of the crowd. We have since been favoured by an eye-witness with the following particulars of the fatail result:—Mr. Underwood, of Regent-street, followed on hot •seback in the direction taken by the balloon, to witness, if p ossible, the descent of the parachute, and from that gentlk'man we have learned the melancholy details which folloer. Mr. Underwood was in the neighbourhood of Blackhea th when he saw the Messrs. Green sever the cord which att ac bed the parachute to their car. The parachute, thus left to itself, descended with the utmost rapidity, and swayed front ride to side in the most fear ful manner. Mr. Underwood is nmediately anticipated the worst. In a few seconds, the der 'adful oscillations still con tinuing, the basket which costa fined the unfortunate aero naut broke away from the paracita te, and Mr. Cocking was precipitated to the earth from at height of several hundred feet. Mr. Underwood immediate ly spurred his horse, and arrived in a field near Lee, tax re several labourers had picked up the parachute. They we add not believe that a matt had fallen with it, but on Mr. Underwood's explanations, and an offer of five guineas to whoeve ' should find the body of Mr. Cocking, they commenced a. d iligent search. After tra versing four fields they heard gr, 'an s proceeding from a field called Burnt Ash, near Lee, an I on going in that direction they found the unfortunate Mr. Cocking - literally dashed to pieces 1 and just as they were lo osening-bis cravat he breathed his last in their arms. He was speedily conveyed to the Tiger's Head Inn, where four r medical men attended. Their services were, however, needles s. The unfortunate man was quite dead, and his body now lies to await the Coroner's inquest. GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK. ( From the Garu in .er's Gazette.) CELERY.—Attend to earthing up on dry days, breaking the soil small, and ridging it neatly. TURNIPS may still be sown, an 3 - the present weather is highly favourable. Hoe those which Pse forward enough. LE yr UM—The rains arc fav otsi able to planting all that were sown last month, or whatever raay remain unplanted. Sowing may also be continued. PRICKLET SPINACH may be flown by the end of the week. GARLICK and SHALLOTS r• say be taken up if the leaves are dying off; which we find now • generally the case in all dry si tuations. CUCUMBERS under bell gra - ises are now in full bearing. Give plenty of water, but do- not remove the glasses ; but raise them on flower pots or re rks of wood or bricks, to give plenty of air. Look also t© those for pickling: In both cases train all the runners out at equal distances. PEAS AND BEANS may Stir I be sown and planted, all of the smaller sort. Groom's Dl' .varf is a fine sort of pea for this season, and hardly ever fails. WALL TICEES.—Prune an trim ; they must be no longer neglected. CARNATIONS and Picco• can a require watching daily and hourly almost ; and you m ay ',begin already to lay all good long shoots. PIPE PINES.—A little be ittom heat, in a shady place, will hasten the striking greatly, tt , ough thousands may be struck without it. AuatcuLas.—Clean from yellow leaves and weeds : pro tect them from heavy rains.

A -• I:l,l.l A hy TAIIVIORTII, MONDAY, JULY 24.—This morning the nom. - 4 cation for the candidates for the representation of this borough took place in the market-place. The candidates are Sir R. Peel, who will he the almost unanimous choice of the elec tors; Captain A'Court, a Conservative, and brother of Lord Ileytesbury ; and Captain John Townsliend, who comes for ward as a supporter of the Melbourne Administration. It is between the two last-named gentlemen that the contest lies ; and though the constituency of Tamworth is not great, the struggle is being carried on in a very keen manner. The number of electors is about 470, but it is thought that not more than 450 will record their votes. Of these a majority have already promised in favour of Captain A'Court. At 11 o'clock, a considerable body of people having col lected in the market-place, the different candidates, accompa nied by their friends, reached the hustings. The attendance of the fair sex was very great. Sir Robert Peel showed no marks of recent indisposition, saving a slight impediment in his walk. With that exception, he seemed to be in the enjoy ment of excellent health, and moved and spoke with vigour. The usual formal preliminaries having been disposed of, Mr. TYLECOTT felt the greatest pleasure in nominating his Right Hon. Friend Sir R. Peel. Mr. ROBINSON Mt proud to second the nomination of one of the greatest Statesmen England perhaps could boast of for the last fifty years. Mr. PARSONS nominated Captain Townsend. Mr. KNIoIIT seconded the nomination. Mr. STOKES nominated Captain A'Court. Major BAaNFORD seconded the nomination. Mr. W. PEEL rose to express the deep regret he felt at the severance of that connexion which had so long existed be tween him and the electors of Tamworth. He had represented the borough for fifteen years, but he declined coming forward on the present occasion, because he felt his health was not suf ficiently good to allow him to discharge his duties properly in Parliament. Sir R. PEEL then came forward, and was greeted with cheering. He stood before them for the purpose of giving an account of the trust which had been committed to his charge. He stood there with confidence because he knew he bad been a faithful steward. He knew that he had not been guilty of any intentional omission in the performance of his duty, or committed any act which would justly entitle him to lose their confidence.—( Applause.) He conceived that his duty was twofold—first, as regarded the particular constituency of which he was the Member ; next, as regarded those duties of a more general and comprehensive nature, which he had to perform to the great community, of which that district was but a small part.—( Loud cheering.) The first he had performed to the utmost of his ability. He had pro moted the interests of the borough, so long as they did not conflict with the general interests of the Kingdom, and he had paid to every communication from his constituents, let them belong to any party, the greatest attention.—( Hear.) When the Reform Bill was first introduced, it was proposed to deprive Tamworth of one of its Representatives. It stood gibbetted in schedule B. He did what he could to protect the ancient privileges of the town ; and it still returned two Members, and the electors still enjoyed the privilege which they had exercised since the time of Queen Elizabeth.— (Cheers.) When he came to consider the peculiar interests of that district, he bore in mind that it was an agricultural one, stud that the wealth of that great parish mainly depended on the pysperity,of agriculture. All his own interests were identified with the prosperity of agriculture. Still he considered the we 11-being of that interest identified with the progress of com ma rce and manufactures, and the prosperity of Tamworth par_ titularly connected with the prosperity of Birmingham. United to that great centre of civilization, it was impossible for Bir mingham to increase in wealth without the influence of its prosperity being extended to Tamworth.—( Applause.) Let him remind them that the interest of the national debt must be provided for, and that the only way to lighten the burden of that debt was to increase the number of shoulders which might bear it. Now, as the people did not like to have any fixed tax for the purpose of paying the interest of the debt, they must look to some other mode of meeting the obligation. The only other means that could be found was by increasing the manufacturing and commercial property, and by opening new sources of industry. The consumption of wool and the price of malt mainly depended on the manufacturing prosperity of the country ; and let them not be deceived by the false friends of agriculture into the belief that by the exclusion of foreign productions, or by an increased bounty on their own produce, they would have any permanent prosperity for agriculture. It was this conviction that had induced him to lend a willing ear to proposals fur improving the communications in this country by means of rail-roads.—( Hear.) He had been told that for the course he had taken on that subject, he had ex posed himself to the eternal hostility of some persons in that neighbourhood, and he was threatened with the loss of some votes because he had done his best to place Tnmworth on the great line of communication between the different parts of the Empire. If it were true that the general interests of the country would be benefitted by the increase and rapi dity of the communications, why should he be blamed for en deavouring to place Tamworth where nature intended it should be placed, in the great line of communication between the metropolis and the north ?—( Hear, hear.) The people of Tamworth might depend on it that in proportion as they were brought nearer to the metropolis, in point of time, their pros perity would increase, and they need not be afraid that the price of oats would be reduced, or the market for horses closed. They could not, if they would, stop the progress of improvement, and God forbid that England should be the country to set her face against mechanical improvement, per mitting other countries to outstrip her and be substituted in her place. —( Cheers.) Having alluded to the performance of the peculiar duties he owed to the constituency of that town, he now came to speak of the duties connected with the na tional interest which he had had to discharge as a Member of the Imperial Parliament. He never had concealed the opi nions he held. He told them at the last election that his principles were Conservative ; they were Conservative still. —(Cheers.) He would tell them what he thought Conser vative principles implied. They meant the support of the national Church—the support of the Protestant reformed faith as established by law within all her Majesty's dominions constituting the United Kingdom ; and it was his firm deter._ mivation to resist every proposal, however specious it might be, which tended to sever the existing connection between the Church and State, in favour of what was called the vo luntary principle.—(Choers.) He denied the accusation that he had exerted his influence in favour of Captain A'Court, and against Capt. Townshend. He ( Sir R. Peel) meant to sup port the privileges of the House of Lords and House of Com mons against the attempts of all those who desired to subvert the ancient Constitution of the country, and establish demo cracy in its place.—( Cheers.) He considered Conservative principles perfectly in accordance with the maintenance of the Reform 13th not only in letter but in spirit. The Conserva tives had been accused of a desire to encroach upon that law ; but the truth was, that he and the great body of Conserva tives in the House of Commons had been engaged all last Session in protecting that Reform Bill from the assaults of its professed friends. Lord Althorp, who introduced the mea sure, proposed it as a final settlement of a much disputed question, and the Conservatives accepted it as such—( Hear, hear)—but those who had clamoured the loudest for the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill, now seemed to desire anything but the Bill, and brought forward all kinds of pro positions for Household Suffrage, the Ballott, and Triennial Parliaments. The fact was that many of the friends of the Reform Bill were disappointed in their expectations. They prophecied that it would send into the House of Commons representatives who would perfectly astonish the empire by their eloquence and habits of business. " Many a flower," they said, "blushed unseen, and wasted its sweetness on the desert air."—( Laughter.) Well, now that the "flowers" and the " sweetness" were transferred to the House of Com mons, he could not say that the perfume of that place was much improved.—( Cheers, and laughter.) So far from any great show of business habits being discernible among the new Members, all that they seemed anxious to do was to bring in Bills, and make to their names descend to posterity by being tacked to them.—(Laughter.) He meant to persevere in his endeavours to defend the Reform Act from its friends, whose ceaseless attempts to alter the Constitu tion tended to degrade England in the eyes of the world, and to impede the progress of constitutional Reform .in other countries.—(Cheering.) He assured the electors of Tamworth that one of the first acts of these Constitution-mongers would be to deprive Tamworth of its representation, and indeed such a suggestion appeared in a newspaper which was a strong supporter, if hot an organ of the Government. He therefore called upon them and all constituencies like them to send Conservatives to Parliament, if they wished to continue in the enjoyment of their ancient privileges.—( Hear, hear.) The Conservatives were no ene mies to improvement, but they ought to have the acuteness and the courage to distinguish between cautious and progres sive Reform and those absurd projects which were night after night laid on the table of the House of Commons. What did that assembly think of 1:0 propositions for altering the British Constitution ? If ever there was a period when the con stituency of this great empire had important duties to perform, it was the present. It was a vital crisis. At all times a general election must be most important, as by it the character of a new Parliament was to be determined ; but the future Parliament would be called together under peculiar circumstances. There was now on the throne a young Sovereign, just arrived at the age which permitted her. to assume the functions of royalty. IL did not believe that a youthful Sovereign ever ascended the throne who had received a more excellent and virtuous educa tion ; and he thought it would not ill accord even with the secular affairs in which they were engaged, if he offered up a prayer to Almighty God to prosper her right intentions for the improvement, the glory, and happiness of her people— to vouchsafe to afford her that divine assistance to which she with a devout and religious looked up. Still it would be absurd flattery to s ly that so young a person could have the advantages of tried experience in public affairs. She must necessarily be governed by the advice of others. The ne cessary experience, he was happy to say, she would speedily ac quire ; and lie did hope that in the mean time the constituent body -of this great empire would feel themselves to be her na tural protectors and guardians, and would take care that when she possessed more experience in public affairs she would find the prerogatives of the Crown preserved in all that. integrity. It was for the constituency of the empire to return such mem bers as w , :uld support the institutions of the country, instead of the friends of a set of Ministers, who, whatever their own inclinations might be, appeared to allow too much predomi nance and influence to men oho would destroy the national Church and substitute the voluntary principle, and who wished to abolish the House of Lords.—( Hear, hear.) Had not the Conservatives given most effectual aid fur the preservation of the institutions el the country ? A proposition had been made in the House of Commons for the esteblishment of the ballot.
