LITERATURE. lIISTORY OF BRITISH BIRDS. Br WilmA3r riannELL. T.ondon, Van Voarst, 1837. This is tlra :second pan of a work which bids fair to become as popular as the author's history of British Fishes. The woodcuts are numerous and well exe cuted, and the letter-press abounds in those experi mental anecdotes which render the study of natural scienc e s'.7, very delightful. ADVICE ON THE CARE OF THE TEETH, Br EDWIN SAUNDERS, DENTIST. London, IVard and Co, 1837. Of this very valuablt , little work eleven thousand copies have been sold. It was first published under th e title of << Five 'Minutes Advice on the Care of the Teeth," and in a surprisingly short time ran through eleven editions of WIC thOusand copies each. Unlike most works of t.'ne same kind, its object is to render the services, of the dentist unnecessary—for it requires neither rJedical skill nor medical knowledge to enable any rea.der to profit by the instructions of the author. There is, therefore, nothing like quackery about it. TILE ACT FOR THE AMENDMENT OF THE LA IV OF IVILLS.—(I Victoria, C. 26.) Br H. LUSH, ESQ., OF QRAr'S-INN. Reader, Law Bookseller, 1837. The Speaker of the House of Commons, in an Ad dress to her Majesty, described this Act as tending " to promote concord and happiness among a large portion of the community, by giving certainty and se culity to the transmission of property." This, from •%r) high an authority, is the highest eulogium than can be passed on the subject of this very neat and very cheap little volume. Of the labours of the learned annotator we think very highly. LE TIERS OF A REPRESENTATIVE TO HIS CONSTITUENTS DURING THE SESSION OF 1837. Effingham Wilson, London. This volume comprises the second series of Colonel Thompson's Letters to the Electors of Hull during the last Session of Parliament. It is valuable as a re cord of the opinions of an Ultra Radical of the Ben tharnite school upon every subject, that, in the course of a long Session, was submitted to the consideration of the House of Commons. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.--Last night, about eleven o'clock, a most alarming fire broke out in a corn wharf or granary belonging to Mr. West, being part of the premises that b e l ong to Mr. Pearson, on th brink of the river Thames, at the eastern side of Blackfriar's-bridge. The smell of the burning or smouldering materials in the wharf 'vas perceptible at a great distance through the city before the blaze had assumed a very alarming appearance. In a i'ew minutes, however, the flames burst forth with insur mountable and indescribable fury, completely illuminating that portion of the city in which they arose, and ascending to an extraord.;inary height. An immense crowd had been attracted to the spot, the greater part of whom stationed t hernsealves on Blackfriars'-bridge, which commanded an ex celhent view of the conflagration. If the spectators could for a moment forget the destructive nature of the fire, rAnd the great injury it was inflicting, they might well admire -the awful grandeur of the scene it afforded when viewed from the above position. The approach towards the burning , buildi ng was i n one di rect i on not unattended with danger, owin g to the quantity of large red ignited particles which arose on hi g h in t h e a i r , and were borne onwards by the wind. The different engines arrived very speedily, and the exertions of the firemen were most praiseworthy and inde fatigable. The large floating engine was particularly effec tive. A large number of horses belonging to Mr. Pearson had been confined in stabling contiguous, but fortunately were released without any injury. It is said that a quan tity of vitriol was also kept in the neighbouring wharfs, and n o doubt if tlie fire had reached them, the suppression ' of it would have been a matter of very great difficulty. The engin es were -At work at a very late hour last night, for so great was tb.e heat communicated to the adjoining houses, and to much ( - Alighted matter bad been emitted from the blazing barf, ',hat danger was still apprehended. It was difficult to learn the origin of the fire, but it was generally attri bute.d to some accident in the working of a steam-engine on the 'premises. A foreign journal states that there are at present in Europe seven bridges, nine museums, 17 public squares, :and 20 streets, which 'near the name of Waterloo. Monday an inquest was held at St. Bartholomew's 1-riospital, on the body of Charles Brind, who died there u t " the injury received by being run over. There being ° e videnc e to prove the manner in which the accident occerred' excepting- the conversation which took place be tween the deceased and one of the nurses of the hospital Previous to his death, the Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." O n Wednesday evening a fine boy, aged 12 years, ',on of Mr. Jp.m es Barry, York-street, was proceeding from the W atere , Jurse t o th e Old M ar k e t- p l ace , w h en a b ou t eentr,, of Eason's-hill he was attacked by three men, %dile thrrAv him down and stripped him of every article of o re " 'Ave his shirt and pantaloons ; and on his uttering ' l ; e cry of Murder !" struck him violently on the head. -ley then de cam p e d w ith th e i r b oo t y .—c or k St an d ar d. 13 y accounts from Sicily we learn that tranquillity .„,.Ivas compl e t e l y restore d b ot h at C atan i a an d S yracuse. - Ml j Pon the arr i va l o f th e t roo p s un d er t h e comman d o f t h e arquis Del Caretto, with the powers of alter ego, many ar rests took place in both towns.

A gold medal has been presented to Lieut. Keys, R.N. (through the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty), from the Government of France, in approbation of services rendered by that officer to French vessels and their crews wrecked in December, 1830, on the coast of Devonshire. We understand that the Tory landlords of the East and West Ridings have commenced a system of manufac turing blue voters, which, in the end, must prove to 'ue most ruinous to the honest farmer. In letting farms of the value of 3001. a year, they make it a condition that five persons shall be joined with the real tenant in the lease, for the pur pose of securing a vote to each person. The farmers should be on their guard against the designing men, who propose such arrangements to them, and should remember that, in case of the bankruptcy of the real tenant, those who lend their names as joint tenants become involved in his ruin. • 150 ASTER RA.CES: EXPRESS.)

The prospects of the meeting continue unfavourable ; and, notwithstanding the exertions of those to whom its manage ment is intrusted, there is every reason to fear that the inha bitants will meet with an indifferent return for their pains and expenditure. The weather throughout this morning was gloomy and vvet v and the arrivals unusually scanty ; the short. ness of the company, perhaps, is to be attributed as much to the attractions held out by the Birmingham Musical Festival as to the influeace of the weather and the comparatively little interest existing or. the St. Leger. The races were appointed to commence at halflust two o'clock, by which time a favour able change had occurred in the weather; the rain ceased, the sky assumed a more cheerful aspect, and the remainder of the day was as fine as could have been desired. The wet, how ever, had made the course heavy, aid the different approaches to it were ankle-deep in mud. The company present, if short of the usual average, was very fair, considering all things ; it included, besides many others whose names we had not time to ascertain, the following fashionables :—Duke of Leeds, Duke of Cleveland, Earl Wilton, Earl of Chesterfield, Earl and Countess of Lichfield, Earl Suffield, Lord G. Bentinck, Count Bath any, Earl of Meiborough, Lord Leveson, Lord Petre, Lord Newburgh, Sir L. Glyn, Sir J. Kaye, Sir J. Burke, Sir J. Baird, Sir M. Farquhar, Sir T. Sykes, Sir T. Winchoote, Hon. F.

There are several foreign N o bl emen an d Gentlemen present whose names we shall include in a more complete list towards the end of the week. The following return of the afternoon's sport will show that it was not over abundant, that the fields were small, and the races not very well contested. The Fitzwillia.ra Stakes, of 10 soy'. each, with N added by the Corporation ; three years old, 7st. blb ' • four, Bst. .51b , five, Bst. 121 b ; six and aged, 9st. One mile and a half.

After one false start the lot got off in good order. The Fairy Queen with a strongish lead, followed by Barbari na , behind whom were the favourite and the Miss F anny colt ; they ran in this order till near the distance, n here the Apol lonia filly was beaten off, Charley Boy at the same time show ing symptoms of , distress. A few strides more and the race was over—the favourite came out, was clear of his horses be fore they reached the stand, and won in a canter by two lengths; the struggle for places between the next three was so close that the honour of being second was o bt a i ne d b y a neck, the Fairy Queen obtaining a similar advantage over Miss Fanny ; Charley Boy ran uncommonly stout, and was at the latter's quarter's at the finish. The Queen's Plate of 100 guineas. For 3 year old, 7st. 91bs ; 4 yrs, 9st. 91b ; 6 yrs and aged, lOst. Four riles. Mr. Powlett's Wentworth...

Wentworth led at a slow pace for nearly haly a mile, and then resigned to Mic Mac, contenting himself with second place till they reached the distance post in the last round, where he went up, defeated Mic Mac in a short struggle, and won by his own length rather cleverly. Capulet was beaten several lengths, and the King of Rome by only a distance. THE ST.

Not the slightest blame is attached to the driver, who expressed the greatest concern at the event. We believe no hopes are entertained of the child's recovery. - - • A poor Yankee, on being asked the nature of his distress, replied, "that he had five outs and one in--,to wit, out of money, and out of clothes, out at the heels, and out at the toes ; out of credit, and in debt." The Secretary to the London and Birmingham Railway Company has offered a reward of 5/. for the disco very of the person who flung a stone, by which one of the passengers was severely wounded, whilst the train was passing between the Hampsteadqoad and Perk street, on Sunday evening last. The first china, or rather the first imitation of it, was made in England at Chelsea, in 1752 ; it was o f a bluish hue, and held in much estimation for some time, as was also that manufactured at Bow, in 1758 ; but, from the great improvement in the article made at Worcester a nd other places, the original manufactories have ceased. On Thursday the Reformers of Dover, Deal, Sand wich, Walmer, &c., dined together at the Royal Oak, to celebrate the return of Sir T. Troubridge, Bart., and Sir J. R. Carnac, Bart., as well as the triumph obtained over Tory influence, backed by the power of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. Captai❑ Harvey, in the absence of Captain Boys, filled the chair, and presided over the busi ness of the evening. The following toasts were drunk : The Queen, the Duke of Sussex, and Lord Melbourne. The healths of Sir Thomas Troubridge and Sir 5. Carnac having been given, those Hon. Members addressed the electors,_and declared their attachment to the principles of reform. The evening passed off in the most animated and joyous style. CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS', The Rev. W. Snowden, B.

The Pilot has the following remarks in reference to the great meeting of Saturday, held at the Dublin Royal Ex change. An outline of the resolutions adopted appeared in our last number : " MEETING AT THE ROYAL EXCHANGE—THE COUN TRY ROUSED.—It was, to be sure, a poor and most paltry affair, and not attended by a single individual of note, name, or character ! Be it so—grant it. It is not our interest to exaggerate its importance. If a sum exceeding FIFTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS was subscribed by a meeting of so low and mean a character, what are we to expect when the men of influence amongst the party—the Times itself will scarce deny that there arc SOME such amongst us—shall have strengthened our hands by their influence and their money ? 1,5001. subscribed within a few minutes, and from but a few individuals, and at a moment when the metropolis is all but empty. Come—we will take our meeting " all and all," with all its defects, and we will ven ture to set down all its results as an offset against all the meetings, all the press, all the riding, and writing, and ad vertising, and blustering, and foolery of our worthy rivals, and we will give them all England, and the parsons, the entire of the principality of Wales, and the bad portions of Scotland and Ireland, with Londonderry, Vane, and vain Londonderry into the bargain—ney, such is our security that we shall throw them in even the proceeds, free of all deductions, of the two after-dinner charity sermons preached a week or two hence in Cheltenham, by two of their peri palebik collectors, Messrs. A. B. C. D. Smyth, K.C., and the modest victim, West, the well-plucked and rejected of our city. We said on the day previous to the meeting that we did not place so much value upon the meeting itself as upon its results, its influence in giving the tone and beat to other parts of the country. The standard when hoisted is but an emblem—we mean not our most imperial London Con temporary—rag and emblem though it be ; but then it arouses, concentrates, and points to action. Thus shall it be with the metropolitan► meeting. Cork, Belfast, Water ford, Limerick, Galway, arc they likely to remain quik s cent ? We should say not—and then the counties and towns ? Alas ! this looks as though it would turn out a bad job. Yes, we rejoice to say it. Our information from all quarters testifies it. The country is aroused—the people are " up and doing." MR. ENSOR'S LETTER-THE BATTLE OF THE DIAMOND. The extent to which the " wild justice" of the deluded people is indebted for an example upon the part of Colonel Verner's father, it were curious to speculate upon. Mr. Ensor states, that on the 24th of June, 1797, James Ver ner, Esq., William Clarke, Esq., and Joseph Atkinson, Esq., marched with their yeomanry to the house of John Keegan, in the parish of Kilmore, and demanded from him twenty stand of arms, which they said they heard he had in his house. He declared that he had none, and therefore could give none, on which burned his house ! They then went to the cabin of James M'lvor, in the parish of Lough gall, and burned his house; thence to M'Nice's cabin, and on a similar answer to a similar question, they burned his house also ! Keegan, being a man of substance, brought his action against Verner and the other incendiary magis trates, and obtained through an Armagh Jury a verdict against them for 372/. 10s. The other sufferers, being poor, did not venture a prosecution ; and it is hard to say how many similar outrages were in the like cases eft unre - venged. Well did Lord Gosford say that the spirit of im partial justice had for a time disappeared from the country, the supineness of the magistrates of which (he added) was a topic of conversation in every corner of the kingdom. The activity of Verner and his friends in the case alluded to badly wiped out the latter reproach.—Pilot. TIPPERARY ELECTION.—The Mad, in its own choicest Billingsgate, positively asserts that not one shilling of the ex penses of this election has yet been paid, and that the sub scriptions entered into to return Mr. Cave and Mr. Shiel free of expense, amounting only to 400/., the payment of the further sum for election expenses, computed at 4,600/., has been thrown upon the former gentleman by Mr. Shiel —that he, Mr. Shiel (according to the Mail), " desiredhis conducting agent, Mr. Cahill, the Crown solicitor of the county, to collect all the hills, amounting to above 5,0001., which he did, and forwarded them to the above-mentioned candidate, who inclosed them and the 400/. to Mr. Cave, with a very polite note, requesting him to ray the ,tuall difference, as he, Mr. Shiel, considered he was entitled to be returned free of cost." We need scarcely observe that there is some misrepresentation, and more malignity, is this statement.

Bvc. 20 pp. Rivington. . rt,.!bentlary Norris does not consider it ineartsistent is kit his ceiling to insult the Protestant Dissenters, to endeav:elt• by ins'nuation to make the Government odious, and to set the law of the land at defiance. Were it not that the spec tacle of a eiegyman thus engaged in the pulpit is seriously revolting, the reader might b© amused by his clerical conse quence, his mystical and semi-popish theology, and his prog nostications of all sorts of evil from the new Marriage Act, The preacher is sometimes gross and scarcely decent in his language. He expatiates upon the " nuptial celebration" its Para dise, where " the ofliciatieg minister was God himself I" He says, "the eternal Son of God descended from the bosom of the Father, contracted His divinity with flesh and blood, and married our nature !" He comments with much self-satisfaction upon the words of the Liturgy, relating to " the spiritual marriage be twixt Christ and his Church," put forth, be says, " on the authority of St. Paul, the great mystagogue of Chris tianity !" He represents the ancient people of God as "married to Him" by circumcision ! He finds in the book of Ezra, a " spiritual court" for the correction of such as married without the priest. From the narrative of " Hannah, the wife of Elkanah," he learns that " the blessing cf the priest" (we here quote the italics) " has something to do in the raising up a fa mily !" Nay, he cites the case of " Michel, the wife of David," to show that without the priestly offices in marriage there will be barrenness I The " armoury" of children "is not procurable by a civil contract, it cometh only qf the Lord l" But if there be children without the priest, they will be curses and not blessings ! (P. 18.) He concludes as be began—consistent in Christian meekness, decorum of language, and priestly.loyalty : " Let these impressive representations be pondered upon with the solemnity to which the sacred source from whence they are derived gives them so peremptory a demand; end should (what God forbid I) a single instance brave the light of day, anti affront the decencies of social life, of such an abandonment to a reprobate mind as shall occasion holy matrimony to be superseded by a coupling together which, upon scriptural principles, can be regarded only as a le galised concubinage, and which our Liturgy, a part of the law of the land, brands as likening these who enterprise it ' to brute beasts who have no understanding'—do you, my beloved brethren, cast discountenance and reproach upon it by every means in your power; do so, for your brethren and companions sake, that the demoralising example may not spread among us ; do so, for the sake of our common Christianity, against which, by this enactment, a blow has been struck of a nature so insidious and destructive, that we are bound to give its framer: the advantage of our igno rance of the hearts of men, and in duty to them, to believe that its tendencies, natural and necessary a s they are, never come under their deliberate contemplation!"—Pp. 18, 19. This miserable rhapsody is fit only to be tied up with the calumnies and scurrilities of one Gathercole, now a Priest in the Church of England, who first " ate the bread" of the Dissenters, but has since " lifted his heel against them"—not however to their injury, but greatly to their amusement. DINNER TO THE MEMBERS FOR NORTH DERBYSHIRE. This dinner took place in the Promenade Room at the large Hotel, Buxton-crescent, on Wednesday last. The day was excessively uncomfortable and rainy ; but notwith standing that, a large party of Reformers assembled to celebrate the triumph of Liberalism in the Northern Divi sion of our county. After the usual toasts bad been drank, upon the Chair man proposing the health of the Members for North Der byshire, the Hon. G. Cavendish, and William Evans, Esq., Mr. Cavendish rose, and, according to the report of his speech in the North Derbyshire Chronicle, addressed the meeting to the following effect : Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, notwithstanding the weariness attendant upon canvassing preparatory to a con tested election, and notwithstanding the toil and the anxiety it imposes upon constituents as well as candidates, I have never for a moment doubted that great good was to be de rived from such contests. A contested election always brings both parties—the candidate and the constituents — into closer connection with each other; it gives the candi date an opportunity of becoming more closely connected with their wants, their wishes, and their habits ; it gives him an opportunity of correcting many mis-statements, which it only requires one word to set right ; and it leads to mutual feelings of good will, which make a lasting bond between the r epresentative and the r epresented.—(Cheers.) It is after a political contest that my Hon. Friend and myself have derived these advantages; it is after your exertions, that we are met this day to celebrate the victory ; and it is to you, gentlemen, who, by your independent votes, gained that battle, that I, as one of your Representatives, have to return my most sincere thanks for the kind, cordial, and en thusiastic manner in which you have received the toast just • proposed.—(Cheers.) If a battle won in spite of an as siduous canvass long set about by our opponents—in spite of misrepresentation, coercion, and intimidation—if a battle won under such disadvantages is a matter of congratula tion, then, I say, we have good cause to assemble and to rejoice this day.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, where all have exerted themselves so zealously, and where all have com bined to bring about this victory, it would be invidious in me to mention names ; but there is one to whom I must particularly allude—one whose absence this day I regret, occasioned as it is by family misfortune and delicate health. 1 am sure you will agree with• me when I mention the name of Mr. Gisborne._(Tremendous cheering.) I never before saw such indefatigable exertions as he made to bring abaut this victory, and that, too, when his heart was faint with grief, and his body depressed with sickness. —(Hear, hear.) I must also notice the exertions of the Gentlemen who composed the Committees and Sub- Committees who canvassed in the different parishes, with such good effect. In addressing you this day, I do not intend to go over the old ground, or to mention any charges that have been made against my adversaries. Every charge I had to make 1 brought against them at the nomination ; those charges have remained unanswered to this day.—(Cheers.) 1 am therefore entitled to say my opponents could not contradict them.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentlemen then took a review of the state of political affairs in England, and particularly with reference to the English counties, and concluded by assuring his constituents that he should go to Parliament with a deep sense of his responsibility, and walk consistently in the path be had al ways pursued. Mr. Evarss was received with the same enthusiasm as Mr. Cavendish. He said if all the constituencies, or a greater part of them, bad acted as the Reformers of North Derby shire had done, his duty then in addressing them would be chiefly to congratulate them for such a triumphant result, and to look forward with dclight'to Ihe speedy carrying of those important measures which are for the good of this great empire. There had been much greater exertions on the other side than on their own—not only in North Der byshire, but in counties generally ; and lie must say there had been on the whole, a better organization—more pains —a more effective Registration Society—a more complete ramification of parties, not only at elections, not only at the time of registration, but long before the re gistration or election took place. Their opponents had also had a more expensive machinery at work in the counties than the Liberals ; but he (Mr. Evans) re joiced to say, that an association had been formed in the Northern Division of this county for the purpose of looking after the registration. The state of things consequent upon the late election, which had placed the Ministry in a situation of having a majority smaller than they might have anticipated, would throw great difficulties in the way or the speedy passing of some of those great measures for which they had been struggling. Although the majority was not reckoned at more than a 7, he himself was not at all desponding as to the present Ministry. Still, when they (the Reformers) found that majority so small, it more naturally inclined them to look at the trying situation of the Liberal Government, and the jeopardy in which many im portant measures were placed ; and they would find there was great cause fur sinking some minor differences, so that Reformers of every degree might unite in keeping a Liberal Government about the Queen. After some further re marks on our political relations he observed-4 will now say a few words on the subject of slavery. No one bailed with more delight the passing of that Bill than he did. That Bill he believed was passed with perfect honesty of intention, and with the expectation that it would effect its object ; but the law of apprenticeship was most grossly abused ; and he very much feared it was not true to say, that slavery was a bolished.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") That Act was passed by the almost unaninious feeling of this coun try ; and he believed—he trusted—he sincerely hoped that this country would not submit, after the compensation it had given, to allow the barbarous system to be perpetuated.—(Tremendous cheering.) He hoped this country never would consent to have something nearly as bad as slavery substituted in its place.—(Continued cheers.) He did not say this as any attack on the Ministers. He believed the apprenticeship clause was brought in by Lord Stanley, who was persuaded by feeble arguments that the measure would go down better in the colonies, and sooner be passed. In some parts, however, slavery was totally ; abolished. If they looked at Antigua and the Bermudas, t there they would find that nothing like slavery exists ; but 1 - tint education, civilization; and real enjos meat of freedom I ha i taken the place of slavery, In other isietais there were mae;ers who have put neeroes on a telerably comfortable rewire.. He world entreat them to real the reports of i tiro to individuals who went over to India, and he then feared the the conclusier they would drew would he very dieerent • to that they coed it wish. He could net recerninend them, under present circumstances, to petition ; but the wanted • the whole of this great nation—he wanted them to sec with their own ryes, and to wateli that question narrowly, and to see that they attained the oh, eet which they desired, ' and for the obtaining of which they eserifieed twenty millions of money.—(Loud cheers.) luforn.ation on this subject might be obtained from stipendiary magistrates, who had given up their situations because they could de no goo :1 whatever. Mr. Evans then apologized for having detained them so long on this sulject ; but it was very near his heart, and he believed it was of the greatest imoortance that the world should know that slavery still existed in their colonies to a most frightful extent. He did net think any question of so great importance, or any duty eo compelling as to do justice to the colonies.—(Hear, hear.) In con clusion, he had only to express his desire, that the present Government might be able to stand its ground—thee such measures as they brought in would produce happiness, or der, prosperity, and peace to the empire ; and that he might be able to perform his duty in such a manner as would give satisfaction to them—(Loud and continued chee ing.) At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Gisborne entered t .e room. Upon Mr. GISBORNE'S health having been drunk, that gentleman said—We are met here to celebrate a triumph ; and if I look at what has taken place in SO many counties in England, I find that we have cause to be pleased with the victory.—( Hear.) I have a letter from an intelligent and influential friend in London, in which he says that there are but two counties in England that have done well ; those are East Cumberland and North Derbyshire.—(Cheers.) He is a man of great judgment, and he says that he bad no idea we could have returned Mr. Evans. Seeing how the counties have run, he did net expect it ; but he says North Derbyshire and East Cumberland are the only two that have done well. Looking at the exertion and the barefaced modes of influence which were used in this county, and of which I could convict the party under the hand-writing of several of them, from which they could not flinch—(and I wish they were here, that I might tax them with it to their faces, and to their faces I will, if God gives me strength)—l must say that ours has been a great triumph.—(Cheers.) I think it is natural that with respect to that triumph 110 one should feel more proud than I do ; because I have stool by the Reform party in North Derby shire in a way that no other man, whatever hie station, in fluence, or talents, can ever do agaia.—(Cheers.) When I first became acquainted with the Reformers of North Dere byshire, they never had any power as a body, and had never been called Upon to act together.—(Hear.) They were iso lated individuals, one person scarcely knowing of his neigh hour's existence as a Reformer. The Reform interest was not only disunited, but divided ; and with respect to that, I will only say, thet the coeduct I pursued subjected me to sonic misrepresentation, but it was subsequently borne out by events.—(Cheers.) I brought the Reformers together, and could mention individuals in this room who were not known as politicians ; but with some exertion and perse verance, and with kind forbearance and assistance, we have been brought to act in unison.—(Cheery.) We have been bound in a party who have lately shown our strength and our power ; and I think I may be proud in saying, that I have been a focus around which that party bets converged. —(Continued cheers.) The gentleman who so kindly pro posed my health, has relieved me in some way from the subject of leaving the representation of the county. I say left the representation, because I don't doubt for one single moment, that if I had again come forward you would have returned me.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, in the session of 1836 I !ost a valued and confidential agent in Manehestei. I went up to Parliament, and found that there was a great deal of private parliamentary business threaten into my Lends. My health gave way, and I was under the neces sity, in consequence of ill health and the death of my agent, of frequently repairing to the country. I did at that time —I own it was behind your backs—endeavour to discover whether a second satisfectory candidate could be brought forward ; and I did it with the view of accepting the Chiltern Hundreds, and giving up the representation. I failed at that time in succeeding, and the resolution I took was to diseueumher me of my private business. Consequently I made arrangements to dispose of a consi derable part of my business. I do not complain of this sacrifice, because it has been serviceable to we since. I did i. with a view of attendieg better to my duties in Parlia ment ; I did it with a view and determination to devote myself tally to the services of my country.—(Cheers.) My health still continued to fail, and I found I could not long continue to represent the county. At the same time I made a pledge that I would not leave the county without a second satisfeetory candidate to represent you. My friend, Mr. Evans, knew that I was pledged to stand ; he knew that I would not flinch, and that my health was suffering from exertion ; and I believe his only hope was to relieve me from my duties.—(Con tinued cheers.) Having succeeded in securing Mr. Evans, I felt the reatest possible weight removed off my mied. I never doubted that the Reformers of North Der byshire would accept Mr. Evans ; and I feel confident the longer the Reformers of North Derb y shire are acquaint e d with him, the more satisfied they will bc.—(Cheers.) Well, gentlemen, I then felt that without any dereliction of duty—without the forfeiture of any pledge—l was then privileged to retire to that privacy which my health re quired. If I had been compelled to fulfil the pledge I gave, it would have been unfortunate for me, in conse quence of my health, and unfortunate for you ; for if Mr. Evans had not come forward I should now have been your very inadequate Represeraative. I thought it my duty to name these particulers, every word of which is in accordance with the facts of the case. Gentlemen, 1 feel my strength failing me ; but the continued kind receptien which you have nivel, me when, if I may so speak, you can have no more work out of me—the feelings with which you have received ine I assure you 1 meet with full reciprocity.—(Chi era.) I never can forget the kindness, the indulgence which I have met, with you at your hands. Having said a word or two respecting my Ilon. Friend (Mr. Evans), I wish to say a few words about my former Hon. Colleague and Fmicnd (Mr. Cavendish). We have been thrown more together during this contest than we had been before, and I believe it has happened to us (which is usually the case with men who arc honest in their views) that we have increased in mutual good-will, and it has en aided me to form a much larger estimate of his abilities. —(Cheers.) I am certain from what I have seen of may Hon. Friend that he is very likely to become a public speaker of great iibilit e. Gentlemen, you knew that I have been ix %cry unwilling coevert to the B dint. I own I hate the idea of it. I like to gise my vote openly for Ca vendish and Evans. I wish every elector was in t he s ame situation as I am—(Cheers) —and then, if a man men tioned the Ballot to me, I %%mild say he was the shallowest and weakest of reasoners. The only doubt I have on the subject now is of the means of effecting it. When Mr. Grote brought in the Ballot , I vote d fin- its introduction because I thought the machinery would be exposed. But. having examined the details, when Mr. Grote moved the second reading, I moved the previous question ; because, as I then said, son must first convince me that it will he beneresial. 1 will become a con , ert to the necessity of the B diet, in case it can be shown to me how you can make it an effectual security. I would leave the snls jeet with your representatives, and the facts which have passed before their cycs I would leave to work on their minds. When they have weighed every thing that has fallen under their observation, 1 sleuth not they will come to a just conclusion—l am sure they will come to an honest one ; and when they agree with me on general points, I will not quarrel with them because they differ with me on one. It. conclusion, Mr. Gisborne said, after seven years of parliamentary activity, I retire without having sought or gained any emolument or personal interest for myself or try faiuily.—(Cheers.) It is enough for use that I have represented your interests faithfully—it is enough far me that you retain a kind recollection of my imperfect services. [Mr. Gisborne, who appeared quite exhausted, ;at down amidst the most deafening plaudits, which were epic) rene wed, and re-renewed for several mt nreunteewds.e ' The hoil. gentleman shortly afterwards took his who clapped their bands on his re tiring leave; fromof th e the h company, Lord Lieutenant was acknowledged by room.) The health 0 f the the Hon. Mr. a iT ndish. Several other toasts were also C done honour to. The Chairman then vacated ti.: chair, and three cheers were given for the members as they it: the room, which was about half-past eight o'clock. 1 NEW MARRIAGE ACT.—It may not be generally known that the custom of publishing the banns of mar• ringe in the Church is no longer compulsory; in lieu of which, one of the parties intended to be married, must apply at the Superintendent Registrar's office to have their names entered in a book, called " the marriage notice book," and after the expiration of twenty-one days, can obtain a certificate from the Superintendent Registrar, authorizing the marriage, provided no lawful impediment can be shown •—;, fr str to his satisfaction why it should not issue. kyl v ot t apaq:C t Clergyman is bound to soleinniv2 marriages up . e.: ~.4 . ew. duction of such certificate, in like manner as ae PA g*lit \ l' lication of banns ; and the Church wherein ir .- yOi t tti:„,,:.
