SUMMER FESTIVAL OF THE IN CORPORATED SOCIETY of LICENSED VIC TUALLERS. (Abridged from the Morning Advertiser.) Yesterday the thirty-first Anniversary Dinner of the Friends and Patrons of the Licensed Victuallers' School in Kennington lane, Lambeth, took place at Highbury Tavern, Islington ; Edmond Calvert, Esq., in the chair. Two of the Chairman's brothers sat near him ; and at the upper table were also seated Lieutenant-General De Lacy Evans, T. S. Duncombe, Esq., (a gentleman respecting whose " whereabout" yesterday's Puddle-dock oracle made some inquiry), Benjamin Hawes, Esq., J. T. Leader, Esq., Charles Bleaden, Esq., Thomas Powell, Esq., Mr. Under-Sheriff Wire, Mr. Wells, the worthy Governor of the Society, the Trustees and Committee, John Anderson, Esq., Murdo Young, Esq., and several of the Di rectors of the Licensed Victuallers' Fire and Life Office, and of the Commercial Steam-packet Company. The company was numerous beyond all former occasions, the Anniversary having been attended by considerably more than 3,000 subscribers. The dinner being concluded, and the cloth drawn, the vocal gentlemen in attendance, namely, Mr. Ransford (who as kindly as ably directed the whole of the vocal proceedings), Mr. G. Pyne, Mr. Foster, Mr. Manvers, Mr, Price, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Green, Mr. Bing, Mr. Jones, Mr. Ashton, Mr. Harley. Mr. Field, and Mr. Morgan, gave Non Nobis Domine in most impressive style. The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the first toast. He said that the toast which he had the honour to propose to the company was one which did not require any observation from him to recommend it to their notice. It was the health of our gracious Queen.—( Loud applause.) In any assembly of Englishmen that toast would be received with enthusiasm. Every circumstance which marked her Majesty's accession to , the throne of her ancestors was calculated to excite in her favour the loyalty and attachment of her subjects—( Cheers) .--and if anything could add to the enthusiasm of the meeting in doing justice to her Majesty's health, it would be the fact, which he had the pleasure to announce to them, upon authority which no one could question, that it was the pressure of public business, and of public business only, which had hitherto prevented her Majesty from complying in an official manner with the heartfelt wishes of the supporters of the charity, whose anniversary they had met to celebrate, by becoming its patroness.—(Cheers.) At the next anniversary he had no doubt that they would have the satisfaction of drinking her Majesty's health, not only as their Sovereign, but as the pa troness of the charity.—(Tremendous cheering.) The ad mirable education which her Majesty had received gave them every reason to hope, that every useful institution would, as far as possible, obtain the fostering care of her protection and support.—( Cheers.) He then gave, " Her most excellent Majesty Queen Victoria." The toast was honoured with four times (Our, and tremendous applause. The whole vocal strength then sang " God save the Queen" in truly splendid and tasteful style. The CHAIRMAN gave the next toast, which he hoped mould be noticed, as was usual on similar occasions—" The est ed memory of his Majesty King William IV., the late Patron of the Licensed Victuallers' School." It was received in solemn silence. Tile CHAIRMAN said that he had great pleasure in proposing the nest toast; it was of an illustrious individual ; and looking to the high station which he filled, it was peculiarly gratif ) ing to view him with such strong, sincere, and well-merited re spect—he meant, as they no doubt anticipated, the Duke of Sussex..—( Applause.) All knew that no one surpassed his Royal Higl.ness in the promotion of whatever was charitable, kind, sad beneficent.—(Cheers.) They also knew that no one l , ad more nobly supported the cause of freedom.—( Loud cheers.) He concluded with giving " Ilis Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the Patron of the Licensed Victuallers' Asy lum." It was honoured with three times three, and loud and long-continued applause. _ Glee—" Ar;al;e, L;re !" It was cxq&sitely exe, cured by the vocal force. The CHAIRMAN next gave—..." Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen Dowager, and the rest of the Royal Family.".._ ( Arlplause.) Sour Worran loves you best." Sun by Mr. Ines. The CHAIRMAN :id it was with c'reat pleasure thrt he pro po:ed the next toast, although it mi7ht be considered to have been includ - d in the last ; it was that of the illustrious mother of our excellent Queen. to wb , Sse exemplary conduct they were so much indebted.—(Cheers.) Of the excellent promise of her M;je,sty they had experienced an ample foretaste, and how much must they feel indebted to the maternal anxieties and abilities for the amiable qualities that had already marked her Majesty's' career. 1.3..)th had shown the most earnest desire to promote the weifare of the people. and to promote ctival ristbts for Loud cheers.) He gave the ‘• Health of her Royal the Duchess of Kent."—(Three times three, Ira loud applause ) _ ( 1 1c , --• }hit, smiling morn."

It hap re led that be was late a Member, and at preset a eiiedidate for the senior borough of the metropolis. Ile would not trc:pesa on theta at so: length, there being. so many chap:, nt friends oe his tight and left ; and having been abeent for two years, eel :.eiterwise oceujed, he cm:reseed he was rather out of the li ,bit f speaking.—( Hear and a laugh.) He therefore hop , d that they would excuse him, if he trespassed on them shortly and iraperfectly. Their object was charity, and their meeting, attended ae it was by such hosts of ladies, and others, wee full of interest. He felt the highest grati fication in 'abet he beheld. No doubt there were many ex cellent institutions in this metropolis—lie and they all knew that there were ; but he recollected no one that was at once so honourable, important, and useful, and proceeding from a body of useful and valuable tradesmen, as that which he had now the honour of addressing.—( Hear.) He knew that the rnectirg which he was now addressing eras one of charity. —( Hear, hear.) Ile, therefore, should not think him'elf justified in introducing any thing in the shape of polities. _(l.elr, hear. ) Gratified as ho was with what be beheld, his ,gratification was increased with the reflection and informa tion, that the charities of this noble Institution were not limited to any party. But,. though that was the fact, he could not hide from lienself the impression aisd the conviction, that the Crest majority of the persons forming that company were of. Liberal opinion; —( Cheers, and cries of " All, all.") He flint:alit he was justified in saying so much, without giving olence to any one.—( Herr, hear.) It was meat g rat i fyi g in he ahle k toeether in so noble a rause. and to know that their work proceeded on the foundation of Liberal opi nions.; and also that there had been so unanimous an expres sion of their opinions in rivour of the Queen, and of her Ma jesty's Government.—( Cheers.) It was not for him to say any thing in the waved' apology for the Government. Ft was true that So much had not been done as they might have been warranted in desiring, but, judging from the aspect of the times, he hoped that when he next had the honour of addressing them, be should be able to tell them that much more had lat e i done. Aa an independent Member, should he be re-elected, he would do his duty, and he hoped that he should thereby be able to answer practically, and very satisfactorily, the calumnies that had been circulated against him. A canvass of three weeks had given him good reason to believe that those calumnies hail already been correctly appreciated. Ile, how_ `,": o *, would have them to bear in mind that Westminster had hitherto taken something like the lead in electioneering mat ters, and th at t h e forthcoming struggle ought to partake of high character of past triumphs. The Tories, as all knew, were good tacticians, but never let it be forgotten that thei r assoc i ate had been the Duke of Cumberland—be who `vas now King of Hanover.—( Hear.) He only alluded to the f Hanover that th e y m i g h t i n f er f rom t h e con d uct o f t h e Ki ng oftheY what wou ld b e t h e con d uct o f t h e T or i es cou ld regain power.—(L ou d cr i es o f H ear. ) B ut h e wou ld not farther allude topolitics . only to urge them to rush to the poll at the ensuing election, and to remember that a vote be fore ten o'clock was worth two after that hour.—( Loud a p.

During last two Bills before Parliament which he most sotre:nseuinitilnuly opposed \, without as being injurious to Licensed Victuallers. al provided that no man should drink beer or spirituous the licence of a parson.—( Laughter and cheeringanT eras to drink unless the parson signed a certificate..—(l3or:an The constable also was to sign the certificate --and if a man .°) re fused to apply for and take out such certificate, he was to be tined 9 01., or be sent to the House of Correction for tw o months. —(Laughters, and murmurs of incredulity.) Th e Bill was lost on the second reading. When he (Mr. I).) and others opposed it, they were told they were advocates for ine briety. There was another Bill brought in, he believed, by Mr. Buckingham, to establish a temperance police. All these temperance policemen were to be subject to an inspector with a salary of five hundred pounds, or one thousand pounds a-year. Other individual?, subordinate to tile inspector were to have 150/. a year. They were to be dressed in uniform and act as regular police to enforce temperance. e a of Only persons b e twe en th ges 3O and 60 were to be employed in the temperance service, as if' old gentlemen never got drunk.—( Loud laughter.) Another clause was that a person getting, drunk at an election was to lose his vote. If drunk four times durina the interval between two elections he I was to be deprived of his political rights.—(Loud cheers and laughter.) Such Bills as he had described were really brought into Parliament. He did not say he had done anything essen tial for the Licensed Victuallers, but he had certainly endea voured to prevent evil.—( Loud cheers.) There was another precious article, the Sabbath Bill. He always objected to making men religious by Act of Parliament.—(Applause.) All he could say was, they should find him at his post, ready on every occasion to reject such Bills. These were the principal topics he had to address to the Licensed Victual lers. Since he met them three years ago at the Mermaid, Hackney, he had not neglected their interests, because he had opposed all that he considered dangerous and mischievous. If returned again for the borough of Finsbury, he would repeat to them that it should be his study to support their interests. Mr. Duncombe concluded by drinking the health of the Li censed Victuallers and the Ladies who were present in the galleries.—( Applause.) Mr. B. HAWES, addressing the ladies and gentlemen, said lie was happy to have the opportunity of expressing his senti ments in so large an assembly, which was animated by the love of charity, and loyalty to their Queen. The Li censed Victuallers' School was most honourable amongst the charities of this great metropolis. It gave a sanction and energy, as it were, to charity in all parts of the king dom. He agroed with Mr. Duncombe, that they had not done much for the Licensed Victuallers in Parliament, but as that gentleman truly said, they had prevented much mischief. He had endeavoured to act for the benefit of the body, and if he had not been successful, it was not in consequence of oppo sition in the house of Commons, but in the House of Lords. His desire was to be useful and beneficial so far as the Li censed Victuallers were concerned. But in the event of his being again returned a representative of one of the metropo litan boroughs, he hoped to be better able to give an account of his stewardship.—( Cheers.) Mr. LEADER begged to express his gratitude for the man ner in which his health had been received. It was high ho nour to a public man to be well received by his fellow citizens. This was not a meeting for the expression of political senti ments, and therefore he should abstain from politics. They had met for a different purpose, but he could not avoid avail_ ing himself of the opportunity which offered to repel gross calumny. Certain papers had thought proper to charge him with being a Destructive—a Revolutionist—and one who would injure property. He begged to deny the charge. It was a calumnious lie, and he believed the parties knew at the time they gave it publicity that it was false. He wished to state this, because any man who was a Destructive, and an enemy to property, was unworthy to be received in society. There lived not a man more hostile to violence, or one more desirous of promoting peace and tranquillity than himself, In the presence of the ladies who were then looking at him, he de clared that no man could oppose and detest revolution more he did. He begged to return thanks for the honour they bad done him in drinking his health. The SECRETARY then announced a list of subscriptions re ceived that day. Amongst these were—the House of Calvert and Co., being the 30th subscription, 50 guineas; the Chair man and his brother, 20 guineas each ; General De Lacy Evans, 10 guineas; J. Leader, Esq., 10 guineas; B. Hawes, • Esq. (previously a life subscriber), 5 guineas ; T. S. Dun combo, Esq., 10 guineas, &c. &c. The total amount of sub scripsions received on this occasion was nearly 1,4001. The additional subscriptions towards building the new schools amounted to 500/. Mr. Byog, the late Member for Middlesex, stood upon the list as a donor to the amount of 501. The CHAIRMAN had a toast to propose which they would all drink with the greatest pleasure, as they all knew how well the honour was deserved. The toast was—" The Governor and Committee of Management of the Licensed Victuallers' Society." The toast was drunk with the greatest applause. Mr. WELLS, the Governor, returned thanks, the Committee of Management all standing. He and his colleagues would b:, wanting in gratitude, if they could be insensible to the cor dial manner in which their healths had been proposed by the excellent Chairman, end the equal kindness with which the toast had been received by that very numerous company. He and his colleagues used their best exertions for the benefit of the institution, and it was impossible to have colleagues more zealous and active.—( Hear.) No relaxation, of exertion nhould take pl.tce on their part, and they all felt grateful for the kindness with which their endeavours to promote its pros perity were so honourably rewarded.—( Applause.) The CHAIRMAN said, the next toast he had to propose Was the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, and Corporation of the City of London Mr. Under• Sheriff Wien said he was confident that the Cit) Functionaries would have been present, had their official duties permitted their attendance. The Institution had their best wishes, as well as their contributions ; and in their names, and on the part of the Corporation, he begged to return th an ks for the honour conferred on them.—( Hear.) The next toast from the Chair 14213—" The Chairman, Deputy Chairman, and Directors of the Licensed Victuallers' Life and Fire Insuranc.; Company." Drunk with great ap plause. Mr. 81.5 ADEN said the Licensed Victuallers were placed in a situation tt hich made it necessary that they should have an s'surance for their property, both now and when they should be called hence; because the Legislature, to whom they had a right to look for protection, had passed mischievous Acts by which their property was deeply in jured.—( Hear, hear.) It was admitted by many of those who took part in this i,jury of Licensed Victualler.' pro perty, that they would be justly entitled to corrpeasation, but none had ever been given.—(llear, hear.) It wa, very much the fashion to legislate for Licensed Victuallers ; he wished those Leginlato:s were present to see the meeting of that day presided over by their worthy Cli drat in, one of their own body ; and they would see that the Licensed Victuallers were a body capable of proteeling themselves.— ( A pplanse. ) If they kept united together, none could injure them with impunity.—( Hear, hear. ) He was certain there was no one present wl2O would not feel proud to meet again on similar occasions, to contribute to the festivities and benevo lence of ftrure yo are.—( Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN gave—" The Chairman, Trustees, and Go. vernors of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum." The toast was drunk with applause. A vast number of ladies and gentlemen remained to enjoy the festivities of the evening; they crowded the splendid marT:ee erected on the grounds, which, from the brilliant and tasteful manner in which they were illuminated with variegated lamps, had a most imposing and unique effect. The marquees were erected by Messrs. Staff and Son, of Lawson -street, Dover-road, one of them being large enough for 2,000 per sons to dine under its ample shelter. ELECTION. EAST SURREY. THE ELFORDLEIGH ESTATE IN DEVONSHIRE. ----Tn the description that follows, we have proof of the versa tility in the talent of description of Mr. Robins, who, by the way, appears to engross all the great sales in Devon's fa voured district. Elfordleigh has always ranked high in public estimation, and is accounted one of the most favoured abodes in the South of Devon, the worthy proprietor has expended a sum approaching ten thousand pounds on its completion, and adaptation to all the legitimate wants ef a f.ttn:ly of pretention. The mansion, which is one of the features of this vicinity, is seated, or rather it nestles under the brow of the hill, withia " the park grounds," and in view of the ornamental waters. A splendid conservatory, erected upon the best principle, adorns this favoured abode. The majestic timber which orna ments the bangin g woods, includes " the monarch of the fo rest," with . pines of stately gro w th. The rising grounds afford shelter 'from the wintry wind ; while " the valley teeming with wild fertility," refreshes and aids the delightful illusion. In the extensive Shrubberie s which encomoass Elfordleigh, the American plants and flowering shrubs, relieved by parterres. projecting rocks, the jet d'eau and fountain, form an ensemble of very rare occurrence. The kitchen gardens abound in fruit and vegetables. The approach to the mansion is by a :-nstic lodge of pleasing design, and progresses for a mile through the luxuriant plantations, wherein vistas are judi diciously cut to give additional effect, and vary the delightful scene, until the picturesque valley is brought into closer con tact; indeed, the situation will hardly yield to any thing throughout this interesting district. It is midway between Ivybridge and Plymouth, "the renowned woods of Saltram" on one side, and Newnham on the other. In the distant scene Mount Edgecombe, Lord Morley's, and the town of Plymouth are perceptible—aid in the delightful illusion, and tend mate rially to heighten the effect of the picture. Plym Bridge and River Plym give effect to the Tamed scenery of Bickley Vale, and in the distance the landscape is made perfect by the craggy mountains of Dartmoor, the famed Breakwater, Lord Morley's, and Mount Edgcombc. The neighbourhood stands confes sedly without a rival anywhere for its good fellowship and high respectability. The domain is 228 acres. Lieutenant Christopher Sanders, ILP., late of the 19th Regiment, was presented at the Levee on Wednesday by General Sir Hilgrovo Turner. THE SANDWELL ESTATE IN DEVON.—We can not resist giving a very abridged description from the particu lars of this sale, which are just distributed to the public. Our friend George Robins bath certainly the gift of not overlook ing the varied beauties of the splendid properties which seem all to be devoted to his hammer. The Sandwell estate is one of the most desirable throughout Devon's favoured county. This property needs not the artificial aid of ornament through out the county, where it is too well known to require pany genic ; the following concise and imperfect statement is in tended with a view to illumine only those at a distance. The residence is of a character which unites every possible com fort, without the dread of being overhoused. It is a stone edifice, seated in the luxuriant valley, and protected during the inclement seasons by the amphitheatre of hills, its archi tectural form is chaste, and within it will be found all the ac commodation a family of pretension can desire. It is encom passed by a finely wooded park, and scenery of surpassing beauty, amid a never-ending combination of hill and dale, adorned by majestic woods ; while the meandering of the river Harburne, and the constant undulations of the grounds, combine to form a perfect Claude scene, and one of very rare occurrence. The lawn and pleasure grounds are adorned by myriad s of plants and flowering shrubs, and the abundance of caughtfi r s o l g l ation. the vocation of a neighbouringg within sight of the drawing-room, would render yaletudinarlan,fishmonger a work of supere rogation. is SO Winter appears a stranger to Sandwell, and the who desto longevity, pai r ha s r e t s h i a g t n e ed yc h n im an se E lf as to t Indian valetudinaria n , limited period of years, here find a solace arising out of the salubrity of the air, that will awaken to him the cheering prospect o f a renewed l ease o f h ealt h an d vigour. The do main c whicha c i o n m el p u a d r e i s seonn o c ri ce,att hundr e d an d fifty-one acres, is en tirely withi n a ring f fre e f rom t i t h e, an d o f a qua lity to challenge the Smithfield fac' it y market fattening t t o e I ,, i . i e n s e. a heavy c an ywhere. l The pasture lands possess with gr ea t qu i c kness, and Sand well. Upon the mead ow land thedebt of gratitude to Sand cr crops are and turnip land are most luxuriant, and there is a small portion adapted to o wheatof the best quality ; and there is besid e a m marble, that appears interminable ; and if profit b n magnificent rock in the f mind's eye of a purchaser, he will find the rock capable of erecting a second city of Bath, &c. PREPARATIONS for the GENERAL O❑ Wednesday evening a meeting of the friends of the Hon. Locke King and John Angerstein, Esq., the candidates for the Eastern Division of Surrey, was held at the Spread Eagle, Wandsworth, for the purpose of taking the necessary steps to secure the return of these gentlemen. J. T. Leader, Esq., presided in the Chair. . The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meeting, said they had assembled to perform an important duty—to de cide whether they would support the principle of Reform or Toryism—of Reform represented by Mr. Locke King and Mr. Angerstein, or of Toryism in the person of Captain Al sager and Mr. Kemble. Mr. Angerstein had proved himself in Parliament to be a firm supporter of the Liberal cause. As to Mr. Locke King, some said that he was very young. He was only a year younger than he (Mr. Leader) was, and he was a representative of the people three years ago. If they elected Mr. King now, they would elect a man who was two years older than he (Mr. Leader) was at the time he was elected, and he did not see why Mr. King was not to be considered as being fully ca pable of forming an opinion on political questions.---(Much cheering.) lie was happy to say that he heard a speech made by his Hon. Friend a few evenings ago at Croydon, which was of so decidedly liberal a character, and had so highly gra tified him, that if he had been lukewarm in the cause before it would have stimulated him to take it up most earnestly and zealously. From that speech he would say that he was as good and as thorough a Reformer as any in the country.— ( Great cheering.) He most sincerely hoped that they would estimate him as he did, and that they would return him in con junction with Mr. Angerstein to represent their sentiments in the House of Commons.—( Cries of " We will," and much cheering.) It was an insult to the intelligence of the working classes to suppose that they would for an instant countenance an anarchist or revolutionist, dependent as they were on trade and commerce. They were well aware that in any vio lent convulsion in the country they would be the first to suffer; that they would suffer during the longest period, and that they would have the greatest difficulty in retriev ing their fortunes.--(Hear, hear.) The fact was, the out cry of revolution was raised by the Tories to scare the timid and catch the trimmers and waiters on Providence.—(ln terruption from two or three Tories in a corner of the meet ing.) Some of the trimmers and rats he had reason to believe were in the room, and doubtless they were delighted to have such excuses for voting against Reform.—(Cries of "No Tories.") While on the subject of Tory delusions, he would say a word on the new Poor-law. Under the standard of that Bill the Tories went about agitating against the Liberals. Now, it was a piece of the grossest dishonesty to attempt to impose on the people in that manner.—(Cheers.) There were no individuals in the country who had been more zealous supporters of the new Poor-law Bill than the Tories themselves, and none were more benefitted by that measure than the Tory landlords. The Hon. Gentleman then referred to the connection between the Tories and a distinguished indi vidual, who was lately a subject of this country, but who wen now the Sovereign of another. He supposed they all knew the illustrious individual to whom he alluded.—(Cries of " Oh.") When be was in this country he was the chief of the Tories.—(Cries of " No, no.) He was delighted to hear the Tories of East Surrey disown him, but he certainly was the head of the Tory party and chief of the Orange So cieties.—(" Hear, hear," and cheers.) Let them judge of the Tories by the Kin; of Hanover. What was his first act after his accessLn ? He found a Constitution which had been established five or six years—be found a Constitution which worked well for the people—xhich allowed them to be repre sented—which was at least an approximation to popular Go vernment, and such was his hatred of popular institutions that he annulled that Constitution the moment he reached Hanover. He toll the people that they wanted no Constitution—that they must trust to his conscience.—( Shouts of laughter, hisses, and groans.) lie said he knew much better then they did what was for their advantage, and he should take much better care of them than they could of themselves, whereupon he abolished the Constitution ; and as to the state of Hanover, it all centered in him. Such was invariably the language of despots. lie said ag ain, let them judge the Tories by their Chief in Hanover. The people might rest assured, that if those worthies dared, they would take on themselves the go vernment of this country on precisely the same terms as the King of Hanover took on himself the government there.— ( Enthusiastic cheering.) The Hon. LOCKE KING then came forward, and was loudly cheered. He congratulated the n heartily on the escape they bsd bed from the rule of Ernest King of Hanover to that of Queen Victoria —(Much cheering.) lied the former mounted the throne, judging from his recent conduct, they might have expected the repeal of the Reform Bill, and even an attempt to stifle the voice of liberty by means of the assistance of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, and all the foreign bayonets he could command.-=-(Groans.) Yes, he feared his Royal Highness was capable even of that. Would they judge of Toryism, let them look at Hanover, and see what it was there. Every elector who voted for Toryism at the ensuing election, in eff,..ct advocated the principles of despotism—in voting for a Tory they would be voting for a man of the s am e s en ti men t s as the Kite- of Hanover, and they would therefore act as the advocates of revolution and anarchy. He call on them to rally round their Queen, nho had exteuded her hand to them, and given the most hearty assurances of her attachment to liberal pinciides.—( Hear, and Loud cheers.) Let them show to the King of Hanover that that Crown sat the easiest which was worn a throne based on the affection of the people. Mr. 1). WHITNEY wished to know the lion. Gentleman's sentiments cn the Corn-laws. Mr. KING thought the Corn-laws presLcd heavily on the country ; but the land was so burdened with taxation that, in his opinion, they could not be repealed at once. lii; own im pression wan in favour of a fixed duty.--( Cheers.) Mr. WIIITNEY—I approve the Hon. Candidate's views, so far. What amount of duty would he propose ? Mr. KING—I think the better course would be to reduce the duty gradually.—(Cheers.) Mr. WniTNEY—That answer is perfectly satisfactory to my mind.—( Much cheerinz.) A GENTLEMtN, 1%11075C name did not transpire, inquired Mr. King's sentiments on the question of Church Reform. Mr. KING—I am in favour of a great and sweeping reform in the Church.—(Cheering.) I consider that in the Church there are the over-paid and the under-paid, and, is my opinion, tile under-paid are the best men of the two.—(Cheers.) Mr. PAGET, of Barnes, inquired the Hon. Gentleman's opinion n ith respect to that odious measure, the Poor-law Bill, particularly the clause separating man and wife. Mr. KING thought the old system bad; it was in many re spects demoralizing ; and the new law he considered far from being perfect. In his opinion it pressed too hard on the old and infirm—(Cheers)—and, no doubt, on the married. Ano ther great objection to it, in his opinion, was the C,;mmis sioners having such unbounded power. —( Cheers.) lie consi dered the given to the Commd , sioners unconstizution:d, and were the Bill to be now brought before the House for the first time in its present form he would oppose it. Mr. PAGET—What is King's opinion on Church-rates? Mr. KING—I Irish for the entire abolition of Church-rates. Mr. PAGET—I am perfectly satisfied with the Hon. Gentle man's explanations, and shall give him my support.—( Cheers. ) Mr. Leader then withdrew, having a meeting at St. Ann's, Westminster, to attend. Mr. Palmer was voted into the vacant chair. Mr. A SGEP,!TAIN next presented himself to the meeting, and was received with great enthusiasm. His disposition was to support the liberal measures of the Queen's government; and if such were their feeling he should be happy in being selected as the irdividual to give it effect. No doubt the country would institute a comparison between the first act of Queen Victoria and that of the King of Hanover.—( Hear, hear.) The questions which had been put to Mr. King were then addressed to Mr. Angerstein, whose replies elicited great ap plause, and appeared to give general satisfaction. The Hon. Gentleman in the course of his subsequent remarks declared that he cordially concurred in the sentiments which had been expressed by Mr. Leader. Resolutions were then put and carried, declaratory of the approbation of the meeting of the principles of the two Reform Candidates, and pledging it to the most strenuous exertions to secure their election. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1837 THE CITY. - - Everything proceeds in the right course in the city. The canvas for the four Liberal candidates has been more suc cessful than even their most sanguine friends anticipated. Should Mr. Palmer venture to the poll the first few hours must determine his fate. A very numerous meeting of the electors resident in the borough of Southwark and the southern districts took place lest evening, at the Bridge-house Tavern, at which Mr. Al derman Humphreys presided. The four Liberal candidates attended, and were very enthusiastically received. The can didates entered into an exposition of their political views, and a series of resolutions were adopted expressing the de termination of the electors to protect the Queen and support the Ministry by returning those only to the next Parliament who were steadfast in the cause of reform. WESTMINSTER. The most gratifying accounts with respect to the progress of the canvass of the Liberal candidates were received yester day. Not only has the enthusiasm of the electors been ex cited in favour of Colonel Evans and Mr. Leader individually, but the proper feeling has been generated with regard to them, that both are as completely identified in interests as they are united for the advancement of good government. GREENWICH. The prospects of the Reform candidates for this important borough are most encouraging. Their Committees have for some time past been working silently but securely, and the result of their exertions, aided by the very general feeling of respect for the public and private character of the Liberal candidate!, will be, there are the soundest reasons for believing, to place Mr. Wolverley Attwood in a most unflattering posi tion on the poll. Indeed the Tories themselves have already become fully sensible of the utter failure of their audacious at tempt to gull the intelligent electors of Greenwich, and their rage has vented itself in the inundating the whole borough and its vicinage v‘ ith placards casting a series of the most men dacious and paltry imputations upon the gallant Admiral, against whom the Tories appear to be particularly vindictive. The nomination takes place on Tuesday, and the election next day. MIDDLESEX. The electors of the Chelsea and Brompton district met at the Stag Tavern yesterday evening. The great room was crowded to excess. Mr. WARBURTON opened the proceedings of the meeting. It was a momentous occasion. It was the commencement of a new reign, and the constituency of the country were to de cide on what was to be the complexion of the House of their representatives.—( Dear.) Every elector should act as if the decision remained with himself.—( Hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman then entered into a history of the public career of Messrs. Byng and Hume, and eulogised their characters. Mr. Byng had grown old in the service, and was as vigorous and zealous as ever.--( Hear, and cheers.) Mr. Hume's name was identified with public independence, the happiness of the peo ple, and economical and cheap government.—( Cheers.) Mr. HOME then rose to address the meeting amid enthu siastic and protracted cheering. Heaven be praised that the present King of Hanover had not succeeded to the Throne of England, or he would have treated the Reform Bfll some thing after the fashion he treated the Hanoverian Constitution. Her present gracious Majesty went on another tack.—(Cries of " God bless her !") She made as good and as liberal a speech as he himself could wish to have made. She was a sincere friend to liberal improvements; and if he did mistake her character much she would she would carry them out.— ( Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman then dwelt for some time on the abuses of the Church Establishment. It was too bad that the poor hard-working curates of Ireland should not have morc than 601. or 651. per annum, and that the parsons who did very little should have 5001., 800/., and 1,0001. per an num. The Hon. Gentleman then went on to speak of the abuses of the English Church, and proceeded to lay open the details of the Orange conspiracy which was planned by the present King of Hanover. This conspiracy be had been mainly instrumental, assisted by Sir W. Molesworth and Mr. Leader, in discovering and defeating. The Hon. Gentleman than entered into a defence of the Poor-law Amendment Act, and having answered some questions relative to his poli tical principles, put to him by some persons present, took his departure amid the most enthusiastic cheers of the meeting. LAMBETH. A mee:irig of the friends and supporters of the Right lion. C. I'. D'Evncourt was last night held at the Swan Inn, Stock well, cehich was most respectably attended. Mr. MAct.Eoo, of Stockwell, having been voted into the Chair on the motion of Mr. Burkitt, the Chairman opened the procec.:ings of the evening by some few remarks. Mr. BUIcKITT moved and Mr. SMITH seconded the motion— 6"fhat it is the opinion of this meeting that the past con duct of the Right Hon. C. Tennyson D'Eyncourt in Parlia ment entitles him to our confidence and support, and that the electors present pledge themselves to use every means in their power to secure his return at this election, in conjunction with B. Hawes, j!in., Esq." The question havirg been put, there appeared three hands held up against the resolution. Mr. THOMAS, Will was one of the dissentients, stated that he had held up his hand against the resolution, because it went to bind the meeting to support Mr. Hawes as well as Mr. D'Eyn court. Ile should give a plumper for Mr. D'Eyncourt. The meeting then separated, much gratified with the pro ceedings. BATn.—Captain Seobell has resigned. NORTII WILTS.-The Devi;:es Independent says that the Electors are roused to action, not only by indignation at the Tory trick, but also by gratitude to Mr. Methuen, who, when he found that the division was in jeopardy, that no Reformer had come forward, and that Burdett was in the field, threw himself; at the invitation of his old friends, manfully into the breach, and has generously determined to contest the division to the last gasp rather than sufFer it to be disgraced by Burdett as its Member. Yv CRICKDALE.—The 11 7 tItshire Gazette boasts of the majority Mr. Nerld and Mr. Goddard will obtain over Captain Howard. The majority, according to this Tory print, will be at least 100. NORTH DERBYSHIRE —We have as good authority for as serting that there is as much certainty of Mr. Evans being re turned with Mr. Cavendish of North Derbyshire, at the en suing election, as any event can be certain, that depends upon the volition of a large number of persons. STAFFORD, TIICRSDAY.—( From a Correspondent. )—Four candidates are in the field, and a severe contest is expected. No man is hardy enough to name the winners at equal bet ting ; and, in turf phraseology, no one would undertake to post them except for very high odds. Mr. W. B. Baring, whose fame was established by his affair with the Deacles, came first to be weighed ; and although a large quantity of Flint was surreptitiously placed in the scales, he will be found too light when he reaches the booths. This is the only circumstance relative to either candidate's chance that is quite certain. Mr. Farrand, the other Tory aspirant—who has already " paid so dearly for his whistle"—was the second to make his appear ance ; and as he has hitherto been redolent of ale,and wine, and beef, and promises, he has many ardent supporters. If two Reformers cannot be returned he must be successful. Our friendly neighbour, the gallant Captain (now Major) Chet wynd, who had been delayed by his military duties, arrived this morning, to the great joy of his numerous friends. Those who are unacquainted with this borough would naturally con clude that his successful efforts to preserve their franchise to the burgesses would render his election sure ; but when Tory misrepresentations, the bigotry of some, and the ignorance of the many, are taken into account, it is not perhaps so much a matter of surprise that some doubts may exist on that point. Now that the gallant Major is here, however, personally re futing the paltry slanders of his enemies, it may safely be said that his return is the next certain'event of the contest. So that we may consider the first and last on the poll as fairly de termined. Mr. Blount, against whom a prejudice exists, on account of the part he took in a petition against the borough when defeated at a former election, has published a manly and straight-forward address to the electors, many of whom had signed a requisition to him to become a candidate, and arrived here this morning. He and the Major are now (four o'clock, Thursday) engaged in canvassing the borough. Hitherto no outrage has occurred, except a collision between the parties of Mr. Baring and Mr. Blount may be so described. Alto gether it was a ludicrous scene, though much blood was shed —from the nose of a Tory, who had presumed to tear Mr. Blount's colours, and richly deserved to lose his claret for his temerity. NORWICH has at last obtained two Liberal candidates. On Tuesday last Benjamin Smith, Esq., the late Member for Sudbury, and William Moutford Nurse, Esq., met the electors at the Angel Inn. A large number of persons as sembled, and on the candidates entering the room they were received with the most enthusiastic acclamations. In less than an hour after they had been introduced, the most active and persevering canvass was going on. Famed as this city is for the virulence of party spirit, the present contest exceeds by far that of any other since the struggle of Hubbard and Beevor, about 50 years since. Gangs of bullies, about 3 0 or 40 in a body parade the streets night and day, picking up per sons who are considered doubtful, and sending them into the county} till the day of election. Where the two parties have come in contact, several severe conflicts have taken place ; in deed so frequent and so violent have these battles been, that on Wednesday the Magistrates found it necessary to swear in 150 special constables, and in Bridewell-alley many of the inhabitants have been obliged to keep their shops closed, the greater part of the day. Broken arms, black eyes, ten pound notes, jaded horses, and sleepy coachmen, are things to be met with in every street. The Liberal party entertain the most sanguine expectation as to the result of the election. The nomination takes place on Monday, and the election on Tues day. SCOTLAND. EDINBUROH.—Sir John Campbell and Mr..Abercrornby are expected in Edinburgh on Friday, and will meet the electors on Monday.—Scotsraan. MIDLOTHIAN. —The factious and disgraceful conduct of the Tories in the present and last session, has produced deep dis gust in the minds of many who were favourable to their party, and is now telling against them in this county as well as else where. Mr. Gibson Craig is receiving assurances of sup port from quarters where a Whig candidate could not have expected it three years ago.—lbid. GLAsoow. —The Reformers of Glasgow have at length de clared in favour of their present representatives, Lord Wm. Bentinck and Mr. John Dennistoun. In pursuing this course, they have evinced that degree of wisdom and forethought which at once ensures and deserves success. With regard to Mr. Dennistoun, the most perfect unanimity prevails, and al though the ultra-Radical party entertain certain scruples con cerning his noble colleague, we are glad to perceive that they exhibit a growing disposition to sink minor differences, and unite with Reformers generally against the common enemy. Lord William Bentinck is an able and consistent Reformer, and a firm supporter of the Melbourne Administration.—lbid. KILMARNOCK BURGHS. —The reception of Dr. Bowring at Kilmarnock has been of the most enthusiastic description. Indeed, we should have been surprised had it been otherwise. Dr. Bowring has been all along an exceedingly useful Mem ber. In attending to his Parliamentary duties, he has been laborious almost beyond example ; and we arc sure that not one of his compeers ever visited his Constituents with a prouder consciousness of having done his utmost to merit a renewal of their confidence. He has been present at almost every division, and his vote had been uniformly upon the right side, and in support of Ministers. Between him and his canting opponent, it would be insulting to institute a compa rison. We shall, therefore, simply commend him to his con stituents, who, if they are capable of common gratitude, will again return him to Parliament by an overwhelming majority. —lbid. IN VERNE6S- SHIRE. —We have seen letters from well-informed parties in the North, which give the most gratifying accounts of Mr. Grant's canvass. Public feeling is everywhere most decidedly in his favour : his prospects are brightening from day to day; and his friends speak with the most undoubted confidence of his success. —lbid. Dr. Bowalso.—On Saturday last our excellent and hide fatigable representative, Dr. Bowring, arrived in Kilmarnock. Having reached Edinburgh on Friday evening, he set out with the Marquis of Hastings coach next morning to visit his con stituents, and was met about two miles from the town by an immense procession, with flags and music, and escorted into town in a carriage by some of his friends. The procession consisted of several thousands of individuals, who rent the air with the most deafening acclamations as soon as their highly respected and beloved representative came in sight. Imme diately on the arrival of the Doctor he proceeded to the Coun cil-house, where he was received by the Provost and Magis trates, and a great number of the electors, who were in waiting for him, in the most cordial manner. Shortly afterwards he presented himself on the balcony to address the dense mass, which must have consisted of upwards of 8,000 persons. The Provost, on a motion being made and seconded, and carried by acclamation, was called to preside. The Doctor then commenced his address, justifying himself from the unmerited attacks made by his opponent in his absence, and explaining the votes he had given in Parliament. A resolution, approv ing of his conduct, and expressing continued confidence, was moved and seconded, and unanimously adopted by the meeting. —Scotsman. WOLVERHAMPTON. On Tuesday, in conformity with a notice very generally cir culated throughout the town, a public meeting was held in St. James's-square, in order to give the candidates for repre senting this borough an opportunity of explaining their prin ciples and opinions to the electors. On the motion of J. BARKER, Esq., Mr. W. WALKER was called to the Chair. T. TnoRNELT, Esq., then came forwaid, and was received with loud acclamations. They had now had experience of his conduct as their representative for three years, and he felt that in the House of Commons he had never swerved from those principles which he had first announced, and which had ob tained him their favour.—( Cheers, and " No you have not.") The lion. Gentleman then adverted to the question of the Ballot, and said, that fixed as his opinions in favour of that measure were before the present election, they had been strongly confirmed by occurrences which had taken place du ring his canvass. Adverting to other matters, he was happy to say they had a Queen on the Throne , who, in an excell ent speech delivered yesterday, had declared her intention to sup port civil and religious liberty—(Cheers)—and he h o p e d that, in the fulfilment and support of these principles, every elector would vote so as be could honestly answer his own conscience. C. P. VILLIERS, Esq., on presenting himself, was re ceived with general cheering. He had voted for every suc cessive measure in support of freedom—because it was free dom, rightly understood, which was the foundation of national happiness ; and he had voted for freedom of trade, because monopoly was inconsistent with the benefit of the many. There was another question, and that was reform of the Church. Really those who opposed Church reform paid the Church a poor compliment, for they seemed to think that its strength was in its abuses, and that its purification would be its ruin.— ( Great cheering.) He would not blink the question ; for his wish was that those in the Church who did the work should be paid for it; and those who were idle should be made to work. —( Loud cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman then, at con. siderable length, and with great force, stated many arguments sp ortr. in favour of free trade, an d a repea l o f t h e C orn -l aws , o f w hi c h he Mr.declared z vi \v himself AL K a E decided rttllen, afteru pe observing that the absence of Messrs. Benbow and Burton proved that they were incom petent to the task they solicited, or that they held the opinions of the electors in contempt, and making some other obser vations adverse to Toryism, proposed a resolution to the ef fect that Messrs. Thornley and Villiers were fit and proper persons to represent the electors of Wolverhampton. The resolution was then put and unanimously carr i e d amidst loud cheering. Wolverhampton Chronicle.

AN ABRIDGMENT OF THE EVIDENCE GIVEN BEFORE THE BRIBERY AT ELEC TIONS COMMITTEE, APPOINTED IN 185.. TVITII REMARKS. Ridgway and Sons, London, 1837. This pamphlet, which is now published for the instruction of the electors of the United King dom, by the direction of the London Reform As sociation, includes the substance of all the evidence taken before Parliament on the extent of the bribery and intimidation to which the electoral body has been, and is, exposed ; interspersed here and there with ori ginal observations and directions. " The spectacle unfolded," says the preface," presents a species of treason against the representative principle—a conspi racy against the rights of the people which is going on day by day. Re-action must come, or the liberties of the nation will be in serious danger. To exhibit the necessity for this re-action, and to quicken the public mind on this subject, have been the leading objects of the present compilation." This is quite sufficient to obtain for this tract the notice of every honest Reformer. THE PRACTICE AT ELECTIONS. Br T. PATXTBR, Barrister-at-Law. London : Shaw and Sons, 1837. A very neat and useful compendium of the Law and Practice of Elections, for the guidance of electors, poll clerks, sheriffs, and all persons officially connected with the return of Members to serve in Parliament. We recommend it to these who cannot afford to spend more than a couple of shillings in acquiring the neces sary information upon so important a subject. THE PARLIAMENTARY TELL- TALE. Br MICHAEL SHAW. London, Effingham Wilson, 1837. This is a tell-tale indeed. At a glance we have the - number and the occasions of the votes given by every Member of the House of Commons during th e lass Session of Parliament—and all for a shilling ! Elec tors of the United Kingdom buy this little book, study it, and be sure you carry it with you to the hustings- It will enable you to judge of the value of political professions—to drag over the coals your late rnisre presentatives ! THE COLONIAL POLICY OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. Allen and Co, 1837. This is the first part of a new work by Mr. Mont gomery Martin, author of the " History of the British Colonies," and of the " Colonial Library," purporting to set forth the policy which Great Britain ought to , adopt in the government of her numerous colonial pos sessions. The work is to be issued in six parts, of an . hundred pages octavo each, to be sold respectively at the low price of three shillings. The first part treats of the subject of Colonial Government ; the second will treat of Colonial Commerce ; the third of Emigra tion and Penal Settlements ; the fourth of the resources of the Colonies of Foreign Powers ; the fifth of the advantages of Colonies to the Mother Country ; and the sixth will embody all the official statistical informa tion that the Government possesses in the form of Tables for reference. Such a work is certainly much wanted at present, and judging from the specimen be fore us, its execution will add to the high literary repu tation of its author. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. beg to point out for correction an erratum in your paper of the 18th inst. A quotation from " Lockhart's Life of Sir Walter Scott," headed " Scott and the Princess Char lotte of Wales," refers to an anecdote related of Caroline Princess of Wales. 20th July. A CONSTANT READER. THE LORDS JUSTICES. Rejection of motion for placing the Duke of Susstx among' the Lords Justices, and leaving out the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench. Dissentient, First, Because the greatest recommendation o f the mo narchical form of government is the certainty w hich it of undisputed succession, and, therefore, everything is most carefully to be avoided which tends, h o wever remotely, to break in upon this governing principle of the regal part of the defect in the royal authority occa sionedment for supplying the Constitution. When provision was making by Perlis - the Royaly: 'lover or other next branch of Family, on the by the absence from the realm of the King of Ha demise of the Crown, the right of succession in the Duke of then settled e a d l I abroad, the and n d branches most of of them the Sussex, or othe r next branch not asse nt from the rea lm, ought to ha ve been reco g nised b y naming that bran ch a mong the Lo rds Justices. This could not be done in e xcluded 1 7 u d ( e 6 d from the succes s i on . B ut in 1751 (24 Geo. 11., R o yal FaAmnilnye' C. Isere 7), because c. 24, and 1765 , 5 Geo. 11 c. 27), the sound principle was acted upon, and th e P r i nces next i n success i on we re placed in the Council o f R egency then formed by the Legis lature. The app o i ntment of Lords Justices by the Sovereig n in contemplati on o f h is temporary absence, has no bearing' upon the qu es ti on, b oth because that is an arrangement o f a n entirely different nature, and because it is not effected by the authority of Parliament. Secondly, Because the aointment of the Lord Chie f pp Justice of England, th e first Criminal Judge of the realm, to be a political functionary of the highest order, exercising the powers of sovereignty, is contrary to every principle of sound policy. It is likewise repugnant to the whole spirit of o ur judicial system, though sanctioned by precedents in times when the pure administration of justice was far less an o bject of care than it happily has at this day become; precedents which are in truth the relics of a much more remote and even a barbarous age. It is the more to be lamented that Parlia ment should now be called upon to sanction such a proceeding , because in 1806, in defending the more reprehensible measure of placing the Lord Chief Justice in the Cabinet, reliance was placed upon the Acts of 1707, 1751, and 176 b, as afford ing legislative authority for uniting in the same person the in' compatible functions of Minister of State and Criminal J u dge.
