DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Pasta's re-appearance in London attracted last night a very numerous assemblage, though not so crowded as it doubtless would have been had the orginal intention of giv ing an entire opera been carried into effect. The audience, however, seemed unanimously of opinion that, under any circumstances, she ought to receive a hearty welcome on her return to this country, and accordingly a storm of applause, which lasted several minutes, greeted her on her entrance. Then all was anxiety to hear her first notes, for it was impos sible not to have some misgivings. We were certain that her commanding genius, at least, still remained; that there would still be displayed the same depth of feeling and intensity of expression as formerly ; but whether the physical power which used so nobly to bear out her high imaginings still existed unimpaired was the question which all put to themselves, not without some degree of apprehension. The few opening notes of her first scena quickly dispelled all doubts. Pasta was still herself—can we say more ? Cordial congratula tions were showered upon her from all sides in tumultuous plaudits, and she co:npleted the scena, " I tuoi frequenti palpiti," in her most finished style. Her succeeding efforts were a series of triumphs. None that ever heard her " Petrie, ingrata patria," and the " Ombra adorata," can require any comment from us to refresh their memories ; but, again, those only who have heard her sing them in their proper places, namely, in the operas to which they belong, can feel how much is lost by her singing them isolated in a miscellaneous concert. Pasta is essentially a dramatic singer, and, though at all times her thrilling and mellifluous tones enchant every ear, while her pathos and energy leave their impression indelible on every heart, yet her soaring genius is as much depressed in a concert-room as her atti tude is constrained by the formality of holding a sheet of music in her hands. Besides the pieces above mentioned, she sang the duet " Mille sospiri" with Madame Giannone, which was given a second time, in compliance with a perse vering call. The latter also sang with very delightful effect a romanza and an aria. I'uzzi was loudly and most de servedly applauded in his variations to Rode's air, and Seguin and Curioni likewise contributed their services. The performance of Signor Anglois on the double-bass, which concluded the concert, is, we may say without hesi tation, the most extraordinary ever heard. The concert altogether gave perfect satisfaction. The Queen, we are happy to state, was well enough to join the visitors at Windsor Castle on the evenings of Mon day and Tuesday. The Duchess of Kent will give a ball at Kensing ton Palace on Wednesday the 12th of June. The Duke of Sussex, the Princesses Augusta and Sophia, visited the King yesterday afternoon. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria honoured th e p er f ormance of the Mairimonio Segreto at the King's theatre, on Tuesd a y even i ng, with their presence. The Princess Lieven is shortly expected to visit this country. The Duke of Wellington had an audience of his Majesty yesterday. The Duke of Devonshire has left Devonshire House for his seat, Hardwick Hall. Colonel O'Reilly and the Duchess of Roxburgh entertained a distinguished party at dinner in Grosvenor-street yesterday. The Duke of Wellington gave a grand dinner on Saturday last to the Duke of Montrose, the Marquis of Lo thian, the Marquis Cholmondelev, the Earl of Courtoun, Vis count Melville, Lord Stuart de Itothesay, Lord de Saumares, the lion. General Phipps, &e, The Countess of Charleville has been for some time labouring under a severe and alarming illness. Her Ladyship has been confined to the house at Charleville Forest for the last few weeks, and alth oug h a tt en d e d b y t h e first medical men, as yet no satisfactory progress towards convalescence has been made. Mr, Waller, Secretary to Sir George Seymour's le gation at Brussels, and his newly-married lady, have left town for that city. The Earl of Home has left Montagu-house, for Hirsal-house, near Coldstream, Berwickshire. The name of Baron Von Kreusser, who accompa nied Mr. Green in the Vauxhall balloon, on Tuesday, was un intentionally omitted in our notic e o f the ascent, and that of Baron Maltitz inserted, The members of the Raleigh Club held their pe riodical dinner on Tuesday, at the Thatched House Tatout, St. James's -street; the Right Hon, the Earl of Ripon pre sided in the chair ; and amongst the company were his Horour the Vice-Chantellor, Sir George Hamilton, Sir Thomas Brisbane, Sir Edward Parry, Sir George Rennant, Captain Hervey, J. Arrowsmith, Esq., J. Millar, Esq , John Barrow, Esq., Thomas Alcock, Esq., Dr. Burchell, T. Chapman, Esq,, Rev. Dr. Williams, Capt. Warlington, J. Rennie, Esq., &e. The Marquis of Lothian, who has been on a visit for some time to his noble relative, the Duke of Buceleuch, at Montagu House, has talc( n the mansion of the Hon. Lady Stuart, in Whitehall yard, for the season. A deputation of the Directors of the Cemetery and Life Assurance Company had an interyiew with the President of the Board of Trade yesterday. Captain Pellev of the Trinity House also transacted business with the President of the Board of Trade. There will he a splendid review and sham-fight at Woolwich to-morrow, the 10th fruit., of the troops composing the garrison there, namely, the Horse and Foot Artillery, Rifle Brigade, Royal 'Marines, Sze., which, it is expected, will prove a must interesting military spectacle. DEATH OF MRS. LOCK HA 11,1% ..... We deeply re gret to announce that Mrs. Lockh a rt, wife of J. G. Loelahart, Esq., and on l y surv i v i ng daughter of the late Sir Walter Scott, died yesterday morning, at her house iu the Regent's park. Mrs. Lockhart inherited much of the mind, and all the heart, of hoe illustrious father. His manly understanding was represented in her feminine good sense, and his 13 verflow• iog kindness of heart in her gentleness and amiability. Mrs. I.,,ekhart had been ill for some time, and her death was, we believe, not unexpected, but no preparation can guard the hearts of relatives and friends from the bitter shock of so sad a bereavement. She was the fateourite daughter of the late Sir W. Scott. The following extract from a letter, dated the 10th nit., from Prince Louis Napoleon, at Nov York, appears in the Sicele learnt, on my landing, the news of the is this gave of my friends. You may conceive what joy gave me. O n l eaving the frigate, where the tri- coloured flag,h was waving, and where so much attention had been paid me, I wept as if I had left my country anew ; the pleasure of re gaining my li berty did not compensAte for not finding myself I have still among my cottutrymen, under a French flag. read all my Journals. I had believed the conduct of the Go vernment towards me actuated as =eh by generosity as by policy ; but I note sec that policy alone influenced them. have been calumniated when unable to defend myself. I ap peal to the testimony of General Voirol, and Messrs. Cuinat, Thibouthot, and Delessert, to say whether I did not protest P.;ainst my removal. I demanded to be doained in prison.; they could not then have imposed a condition on my being set at liberty. And how have they proc'eeded towards my mother:' her letters are full of anxiety. Why did they not tell her their intention of taking me first to Rio Janeiro ? I know they wished thereby to cause her great misery." The Bombay Government was at the date of the last accounts making preparations for keeping up a steam-commu nkation with the Euphrates, in aid of the ._lynat overland post. The Chief of Bokhara had come to issue with the King of Persia, respecting the delivering up of the Persian Prince most obnoxious to the Government, who, having escaped from prison had taker, refug e with the Chief of Bokhara. A force of 30,000 Persians had been dispatched to Bokhara, with or ders to depopulate the Whole country, and, at all events, to bring back the Prince.

CHANTILLY RACES.—SUND4 r. For the Duke of Orleans's Prize of 4,500 f. All the other subscribers were afraid of Lord Henry Seymour's bay colt Frank, and he was left to walk over, closing the books at great odds, and disappointing the populace. The following had been entered :—Volante, Agelie, Citadelle, Belida, Das do- Cuir, and Rubis. The Race for the Derby, or Jockey Club Prize of 5,000 f., was won easily by Lord Henry Seymour's b. C. Lydia, by Rainbow, out of Leopoldine, 971 b., rode by Plattrittn, beating the Duke's Esmeralda and Angele, his Lordship's Juliette, and M. A. Lupin's c. Laocoon. Donna Maria and Norma did not start. Angele had many friends, whose zeal made her hold a respectable place on the list, but, having bolted and thrown Paris, she greatly disappointed her admirers. We like her looks much. More time, and the judicious treatment she is sure to receive, will make her a formidable customer at the races to come. Odds have been betted against Lydia ' and the parties would not hedge nor budge; 11111101 g produced sus picion, and the sporting world was much abroad. The two named by the Count de Cambis for the Duke had been fa vourites in turn. Flatman rode Lydia uncommonly well. A match Wtlf; run twice round the course for 100 Napa. aside, between the Prince of Moskwa's b. h. Maio Yarosla wctz and the Count Hedouville's b. g. Pilgrim. Won easy by the former, who was rode by Curtis to perfection. A Sweepstakes of S Naps. each, with 15 added by his Royal Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans, for hunters that had been ridden to the hounds on the preceding day, once round, p.p., 1201b5., was won by-Mr. Drake's b. h.

Griselda, 1201bs Misen 1 2 8 M. Fasquel's Young Sam, 1121bs Joseph 2 2 M. Baby's Topaz° 8 dr • Curti, pulled up Lady Albert within the distance the first heat. His steady riding throughout the race claims the highest admiration. We do not think another man in France could have rode the mare as he did. Laurels are not the only thing he has reaped by it, as the liberality of the winners of the dif ferent races he rode and won for them amply rewarded him. At the distance it was poundage on Griselda the second heat. A second Forced Handicap, 3 Naps., with 300 f. added by his Royal Highness, once round, was won easy by M. Saba. thier's ch. m.

The First Hurdle Race, 10 Naps., with 15 added by his Royal Highness, once round, four hurdles, p.p., weight 1451 b., was won by Count Edgar Ney's b. h. Albino, rode by the owner, beating M. Sellier's Cleveland, rode by Mr. Turner. The race was well contested. It was given in favour of Al bino by the judge. The- horses rode together in taking the last hurdle at the winning-post. The Second Hurdle Race, 10 Naps., with 25 Naps. added by the town, to carry 1.501b5., twice round was won cleverly by Lord H. Seymour's b. h. Rufus, rode by Mr. Bradley, beating Mr. Turner's b. an.

When Mr. Bradley came to the scales, we understand, he was short of weight, having lost a saddle.. cloth. The horse was pronounced distanced, and Mr. Turner claimed the stakes. fly way of a wind-up to the races the Chateau was the scene of considerable festivity, his Royal Highness having invited a large and fashionable party to partake of his well known hos pitality, and the day finished as all days and nights do amongst good apertstnen. THA' HIPPODROME. This race-ground will be open to the public on the 3d of June. It consists of a large tract of ground, somewhat less than 200 acres in extent, adjoining Nottiug•hill. The design of it is, as its name almost implies, to present the inhabitants of the metropolis with a facility of pursuing any sort of equestrian exercise. In the centre of the ground is a hill appropriated to pedestrians, on which about 30,000 persons may stand ; this is parted off by a circular railing, that they may enjoy the view of the sports and exercises around them, without running any risk of a contact with the horses. Without this railing is a broad circle for gentlemen and ladies who ride on horseback, either for private exercise or for the sake of witnessing the sports in the outer circles. The next circle is a race-course, and beyond that is a further circle for the purpose of a steeple chase, fitted with all the necessary obstacles of hedges and ditches, that the lovers of this hazardous diversion may enjoy those risks which are its peculiar characteristics. This outer course measures 2i miles in circumference. Altogether, nature and art have done all in their power to render the Hip podrome as complete as possible, the former by placing so con venient a hill in the centre, while Mr. White (the projector), es representative of the latter, has displayed the greatest ta lent and ingenuity in the construction of the various fences, palings, and ditches, and, in short, in the arrangements of the vi hole. It should be observed, that the °pedestrians on the hill have a most complete view of all that is going on in every one of the circles, and also enjoy a fine prospect several miles in extent. That all orders of equestrians may be grati fied many horses will be kept on the spot, and be let out at a moderate charge to persons desirous of riding in the Hippo drome ; a riding-master will also be in attendance to give lessons: The Hippodrome is expected to open on the 3d of June, when there will be two races fora 1001. plate each, and a steeple chase. The undertaking is bold and original in the extreme, and as the execution promises to be equal to the design, it is to be hoped the public will reward the spi rited projector as he deserves. WRESTLING. Yesterday the treble play commenced at the Royal Standard, City-road.—The men were drawn by ballot, and as fine play al ever was witnessed took place. The men were drawn so very equal that the play could not be got through. Many noblemen and gentlemen were present. This day the Cham pionship of England must be decided. Dyer, sea. and jun. ; NVebber, Archer, sen. and juin ; Togood, Gundery, see. and jun. ; Emery, Hill, Stacey, Truscott, &c., &c., will hare to contend for both the first and second-rate prizes. The con clusion of this match excites greater interest than any other that has hitherto taken place in the London ring. HAYMARKET THEATRE.— We understand that Mr. !Loper, the late treasurer of the Olympic Theatre, has become the lessee of the Haymarket Theatre. He has taken a lease of the theatre for five years, and, we believe, takes possession immediately. Mr. Hooper has had a good deal of experience in the management of theatres ; and f ew men are more capable than he of turning a speculation of this kind to goad account. We hope his success may be equal to the spirit he has shown iii cutering upon speculation of such magnitude. PROVINCIAL NEIfSVAFEgg. (From the Doncaster Chronicle.) On Saturday, E. Baines, Esq., M.P., of the L'7(ds Wei curl, Mr. dutch; Cid Bristol Journal, Mr. Perrin, of the Leeds Intellkiencer, Mr. DeighfOn of the Worces;er Journal, Mr Hadfield, of the Cambridge Free Presi, Mfi Stafford of the Doncaster Chronicle, Mr. Knott, of the Birmingham Gazette, Mr. Blackwell, of the Newcastle Courant, Mr. Gale of the Carlisle Patriot, Mr. Walker, of the Gloucester Journal. and Mr. Gedge, of the Bury Post, .cad an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Downing-street, as a deputation from the provincial news paper press, on the subject of the penny postage on newspa pers. They were received by Mr. Spring Rice (with whom ,vas Colonel Mlberley, Secretary to the Post-office), with the greatest courtesy, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer said he hoped he might congratulate the gentlemen on the successful result of the measure of last year. Indeed, he knew from the returns he had received that the circulation of newspapers had much increased, and that the illegiti mate press of the country was put down, by which their interests were benefitted, and the value of their property augmented. Mr. Gutch thanked the Chancellor for the concessions made to the newspaper press last year ; and said the depu tation now waited upon Mr. Rice to solicit the entire abo lition of the penny postage as it effected newspapers. The Chancellor of the Exchequer replied that, last year, he had told them he would give them relief to this effect, viz., that papers going through the General Post Office should not be subject to the penny postage ; and he would now go further—he would this Session take off the penny postage entirely, as far as all Government offices were con cerned, for the delivery of newspapers within the limits of the penny postage of any town, but beyond the limits of the free delivery he would not consent to make the letter-car r:ers the deliverers of newspapers within the places of publi cation. Mr. Gulch intimated that this would be satisfactory. A conversation ensued between the Chancellor of the Exche quer, Mr. Baines, and Ms. Perrin, as to the power of Go vernment to exempt newspapers from the penny postage under all circumstances. Many of the penny posts are pri vate ones, being set on foot in districts the revenue from which will not support a public post, at the expence of the inhabitants ; and the above gentlemen, as also Mr. Hadfield and Mr. Blackwell, claimed exemption from the postage when the papers were sent by these posts, as well as when they went . through the Government offices. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Maberley said this was a subject with which Government could not interfere. Mr. Hadfield—Where the inhabitants of a village apply to have their own messenger recognized at the Post-office, and to be entrusted with their letters, cannot it be made a condition, that that messenger should also take the news papers for that village without charge ? The Chancellor of the .xchequer replied that it would be very unwise to impose conditions upon persons so si tuated. He could not at all interfere in the matter. Mr. Hadfield wanted to know, whether a maximum of postage, then, could not be fixed, as, in some instances, the postmen charged threcifourths of the profits. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, that Government could not interfere. Mr. Stafford said the Doncaster papers were affected by the existence of private posts in the same way as the Leeds and Cambridge ones were ; but lie was perfectly satisfied with the concession of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as Government could not be expected to interfere with private property. Mr. Hadfield called the attention of the Chancellor to th• fact, that the manufacturing districts were much better supplied with penny posts than the agricultural ; and he mentioned places in the neighbourhood of Cambridge, which, with a population of 2,000 persons, had no post office. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said that there was a greater want of post office accommodation in the manufac turing than in the agricultural districts, as was proved by the fact mentioned by Mr. Hadfield, posts being established wherever the revenue, or the inhabitants by their subscrip tions, defrayed a given portion of the expense. Colonel Maberley added that in any district where a post office did not now exist one would be established im mediately, on application of the inhabitants, if two-thirds of the expense were guaranteed. Mr. Gutch then, in the name of his colleagues, thanked the Chancellor for the courtesy with which they had been treated, and the deputation retired. In the afternoon the deputation had an interview with the Solicitor-Cletieral on the subject of the law of libel ; and that learned gentleman promised to submit the sug gestions made to him to the Attorney-General ; but inti mated that nothing would be done this Session. IRELAND. Tsai GREAT ANTI-TORY MEETING.—In reference to the great meeting which took place on Monday last, and of which a report appeared in the last number of The Sun, the following emphatic words are employed by the Dublin igtitnittl Post ;—" The people felt that they had ao here ditary claim upon Lord Charlemont. They knew that their fathers surrounded his in farmer days—with arms in their hands. Yesterday presented, thank God 1 no military para phernalia. But these men, to-morrow, if the day of trial were forced upon the country, would not belie the spirit of their progenitors. The difficulty, indeed, would be—per haps the difficulty is—to prevent the movement. Lord Charlemont saw—and the noblemen and gentlemen who surrounded him perceived—that the present is a crisis which imperiously demanded the appearance upon the public stage of such a man. It is the crisis of our destiny." In giving expression to the public triumph achieved on Monday, our respected Contemporary truly observes, that " the sight itself, of so many thousands congregated on one spot — assembled to address the King, and to express the senti ments of this portion of his Majesty's dominions on the great and vital questions which agitate this empire—this was a sight itself calculated to awaken enthusiasm in the most torpid bosom. ‘. The presence of the truly noble Chairman at such a meeting—the vivid and cheering associations with which the name of Charlemont is surrounded—Charlemont, the father of his country, and the smeller of her liberties in other days—this circumstance would, of itself, have con ferred a character on the assembly of an historical signifi cance. It was the link associating the glorious days of the Irish Volunteers with the glorious struggle in which we are now engaged, and was felt by all who witnessed the display as an omen that success would, ultimately, crown our efforts. The Charlemont of this day belies not his splendid title, and is no traitor to his father's blood. The same calm dignity of purpose—the same quiet inflexibility of principle—have marked his career." CHURCII-RATES.—The following reminiscence from the same spirited and right-principled paper to the absent Irish Members, furnishes gratifying evidence of the existence of an identity of interest and purpose between this and the sister country .—" Members, to your post ! The 22d inst. is fixed for the debate on the Church-rates. It is of the utmost, the last, importance that all the Representatives of the Irish People be at their posts. It is an English measure technically, but it is imperial—lrish. It is one upon •c fate of which will depend the fate of these measures which Ministers are now pressing through Parliament. We again and again repeat it, that the people of Ireland will not hold him guiltless who deserts his duty on this day. Pairs—a system which we should like to see done away with, as well as Proxies in the Lords—should be dissolved. For our own parts, Te shall feel it our duty to print the names of the Absentees." The Ancient Concert last evening, at the Hanover square Rooms, was under the direction of Lord Burghersh. The singers were Madame Pasta, Mrs. Bishop, Mrs. Shaw, Miss Wyndham, Messrs. Br.tham, Phillips, &c. The room was filled with persons of distinction. The preparations for the fete to be given at the Hotel do Ville on the occasion of the marriage of the Duke of Orleans are going on with great activity. A platform is to be raised in the inner court, on a level with the rooms on the first floor, so as to form a considerable addition to the size of the saloons. rvl. de Kondener, the newly appointed Russian Mi nister to the Swiss Cantons, is expected to arrive by the next New York packet ship from the United States. Yesterday evenin , an inquest was held at the Mitre, Upper-stre e t, Islingto'n, before Mr. Stirling and a respectable jury, on view of the body of William Welsh, aged 14, who ' was struck dead by lightning during the violent thunder-storm that visited the metropolis on Sunday last. The body of the poor lad exhibited great discolouration from the electric fluid. It appeared from the evidence that between three and four some COWS belonging to his master in White Conduit-fields, o'clock on S un d ay a f ternoon l as t, the deceased was minding when the violent thunder and hail storm came on. Ile and some other boys ran towards some trees for shelter. In the way the deceased was struck dead by a vivid flash of lightning, which also knocked down senseless two or three of his compa nions. The body of the unfortunate lad was removed to the Norfolk Arms, in the neighbourhood, where Mr. Russell, a surgeon, promptly attended and endeavovred to restore anima tion, but ineffectually. Some discussion took place amongst the jury as to the nature of their verdict ; some being for •‘ Accidental Death," and others for that of " Died by the visitation of God." The latter verdict was eventually returned. The annual meeting of the European Missionary' Society w as h e ld yesterday' at Exeter Hall, Captain Phipps in the Chair. The attendance was numerous.

After a series of interesting speeches from the Rev. Emile Guers, of Geneva, Captain Vernon Harcourt, the Rev. Mr. Grimsbaw, and other gentlemen, the re port was unanimously adopted, and thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting separated. I SPIRIT OF' THE PUBLIC j LAN ALS. We prepared our reader's en Tne&day for the result of the Bridgewater election. When ;Fre learned that Mr. Holmes and Mr. Croucher had reached that town amply provided 'with the sinews of war, we knew enough of .the good folks there to be able to predict the issue without difficulty or hesitation. Mr. Broad wood, a week or two ago, considered his prospects most unfavourable ; and if Mr. Sheridan had out stripped him in the race of bribery he would have been returned. In most of the Boroughs of England, espe cially the old Boroughs, it is well known that about tithe or so of the voters are ready to sell themselves to the highest bidder. When the majority of Tories or Reformers is so great as to outnumber the venal voters, bribery becomes superfluous ; but when parties are nearly balanced gold alone gives the victory. In this case the return of Mr. Broadwood merely proves that the Tories had made up their mindss to pay the necessary price. They can not be said to have corrupted the Electors of Bridgewater, because they were already corrupted to their hand—and they are welcome to the triumph of having, by base means, obtained the suffrages of a base consti tuency. Some of our correspondents state that the corruption can be easily proved ; and Mr. Sheridan will, in that case, be yet the sitting Member. We wish such may be the result ; and we know that very clever people (as witness the late Ipswich election) have, notwithstanding a considerable expenditure of more than money, put their foot in it, as the adage says. But we confess we place little reliance on this source of hope ; being persuaded that Mr. Holmes and Mr. Croucher are too experienced in these matters to allow agency to be proved. The point is to establish the connection between Mr. Broadwood and the men who pocketed the money of the Carlton Club ; and though on that subject there may be evidence to satisfy any man of sense, there will not, we fear, be .. evidence to satisfy a Parliamentary Committee.—Morniit Chron. Our peace-loving Tories, who were nothing loathe to encourage the great armed gathering atHillsborough, and to extol to the Heavens the bristling bayonets and neat pocket-bibles of the Orangemen who mustered in thousands about my Lord Roden's chariot-wheels at Rathfriland, have conceived a squeamish horror of a public meeting attended by unarmed thousands in the Coburg Gardens. If they could manage to post Sir George Rich at the wicket, with a discretionary power of picking and choosing who should enter and who remain without, their scruples might become less nice, and their trepidation not quite so affecting. But the majority being likely to go against them, they have thought proper to fill themselves with an extraordinary alarm for the safety of the town. All their journals are wonderfully of one mind on the policy of being horribly afraid, and exhorting the citizens to bar their doors and prime their muskets against invasion. The Evening Packet of Thursday says— _ . - • " To the Protestants of the city and county of Dublin, and of the other parts of Leinster, we will just say, arm for your defence.' The man with the means of protec tion within his reach, who, under present circumstances, should trust himself to the tender mercies or forbearance of a mob so congregated and so incited, would deserve neither sympathy nor commiseration. We trust there will be none such found either in Dublin or out of it. We speak advisedly, and after the most mature reflection ; and again we say, Protestants of Leinster, be prepared to de fend your houses, your property and your lives !" The Evening Mail of Friday lets out a little more of the secret : " Seeing, therefore, that all eibrts arc fruitless to'rouse the Government to a sense of the danger to which the loyal inabitants of this city are exposed, or of the duty incum bent on it, as the executive power, to protect the peace and prevent outrage, there remains nothing for the loyal inhabitants to do but to take all due precautions for their own safety. Let every man look to his own fortress and provide for its security. Let every man furnish himself with arms and ammunition, both for the defence of himself and the assistance of his fellow-citizens." _ The Warder of Saturday, taking up the catch, sings out thus fearfully : " We consider it our first duty, not only to our fellow citizens, but to the country at large, earnestly to caution the Protestants of the metropolis and its immediate vicinity to be armed, and prepared for the worst." And, last of all, the Evening Packet, returning to the fearful theme, sends its Saturday night readers quaking to their beds with this lullaby : " At the list meeting in the same place blood was spilled, Protestants, blood was shed, and impunity was subsequently given by Lord Mulgrave to an individual connected with the;bloody deed!!! "The Lord Mayor should look to the peace of the city ; he should cause the troops to guard the avenues to the me tropolis, and prevent marauders from the country entering. He is answerable for the peace of his district, and, as he loves himself ai;4 his fellow-citizens, he should look to the frightful event, which is threatened. If the military and pc lice be not sufficient, he should swear in special constables, and the first man he should exercise his authority upon is the Earl of Charlemma, the leading tool of the Popish Faction. A word to the wise." _ _ All - this seems to " denote a foregone conclusion ;' for it rarely happens that such perfect concert is formed amongst the conductors of those oracles. No doubt they speak but as they are inspired by instruc tions from the Parliamentary chiefs of their faction in London ; and that if the purpose of this repeated sum mons to arms were not to excite a tumult and a san guinary collision, it was intended to found a hideous uproar against Lord Mulgrave upon this factitious con sternation of his Majesty's good city of Dublin. No body, vorporate or politic, has a better strung set of nerves than your regular Irish Tories : they know when tt; tremble, and when to be hardy as the Ne mean lions. We were fully prepared for a re-enaction or tha acetic in the Tower, where Richard and Bucking ham (reptcoened by Sergeant Jackson and Emmerson Tennent) come Upon the , stage 6' in rusty armour, marvellous ill-favoured." The Government took proper precautions to ensure tai. peace of the city against any disturbance which might haw: arisen in consequence of these truculent counsels of the To press. A strong police force was in readiness, and the :Military power was at hand, should any tumult have oceurreti it was the opinion of Alderman Darley, the chief pots Magistrate of the city, that the appearance of a single soldier or policeman was unnecessary ; and not a single occurrence took place to interrupt the good hu mour and triumph which this great and splendid meet ing diffused through the immense multitucte of which it was composed. The terrors prepense of the Orange press have miserably failed even to produce the semblance of fear upon their own party. We learn from an intelligent correspondent that the shops were all open as usual, and the streets crowded more than usual with carriages and numerous patties of ladies, who took advantage of the beautiful weather. No man—Protestant or otherwise—looked as if he expected his house to be sacked or his blood spilled that night ; but all of the Tory party who ventured to look in upon the vast and orderly assemblage by which the entire spacious extent of the gardens was covered, and the numbers o f no ble and distinguished persons of influence, and talent who crowded the platform, looked blue enough. They could not help it—not even the victory of " the great unchanged" could make their spirits easy under such .a de monstration. - From ten o'clock •in the morning the people poured in one continuous stream into the gardens, and there must have been at least 40,000 persons on the around when Lord Charlemont took the chair. His Lordship was greeted with the hearty acclamations of the whole as sembly, who were indeed delighted to see " his father's son" placing himself where his family banner should ever be seen to wave—in front of a great constitutional battle for the freedom of his country. The Union flag was very appropriately hoisted at the right of the chair. The resolutions passed at this meeting are ad mirably drawn up, and were introduced to the meeting in speeches of considerable power by sonic of the most eminent Reformers now in Leland. Sir William So merville, who has declared himself a candidate for Drogheda, made a very favourable impression by the manly and graceful manner in which he spoke. Along with a fund of good sense and tight consti tutional feeling, he possesses all the physical re quisites of an effective public speaker, and will be a valuable addition, both by what he brings and what he drives away (for he will certainly drive away ltandal Plunket), to the Irish_ party in the House. The. attentioA of the people, throughout the proceedings, to everything that was said, and their well-timed approbation of the most striking passages in the several speechesiindicated a remarkable degree of intelligence a 9 well an earnest participation and concord with the feelings which inspired the sneakers. In nothing was their concurrence more animated or marked than in the plaudits which they bestowed ttpart the beautiful and truly Protestant speech of Mr. Berwick. Our correspondent was amongst the crowd while that gentleman spoke ; and though we have long had good reason to know the liberal disuositions and opinions of his ,Catholic countrymen of the humbler classes, he was not prepared for the warm and unaf fected expressions of delight with which they testified to one another their admiration of Mr. Berwick's fer vent declarations of attachment to the Protestant reli gion. " That's an honest man," " That's a true Protestant," were ejaculations which ineoluntarily passed from n - louth to mouth, as his most energetic as sertions of devotion to the faith of which he is se dis tinguished an ornament and supporter came from his lips.—Morning Chronicle. Our thesis 'for many months past has been, that po litical sentiment throughout this country, as compared with what wore its tendencies when Lord Melbourne accepted office under O'Connell, is in a course of rapid and deciided re-action; and if the Reform Bill, which has placed such extensive powers in the hands of whole classes which formerly were powerless—if that Bill be good for any thing as a test of the will thi-ough which such Rowers are exercised—the elections which have taken place under its provisions, ever since the accession of this Melbourne Ministry to the Govern ment, have, in three cases out of four, demonstrated the repugnance of the Constituent body to endure the O'Connell slvay. The long series of Parliamentary vacancies which within these two years, and after struggles mote or less severe, have been filled by Conservative i`tandidates, are too well known-to call for any recapitulation. The Westminster contest, and the results of it, are in themselves a volume. Is is the first instance for perhaps forty years in %71iich the Ra. dical spirit has sustained from WestininsteNany very . signal overthrow, and the supporters of the Co'7lstitti tion have mustered about seven to six. The citL'dcl of democracy is thus razed to the earth. The Bridge water election has ended like that of Westminster. The slave of Radicalism has there likewise been chased out of the borough. The constitutional voters are 279 to 221—in pund numbers, rather better than five to four. We are told, indeed, that the people of Bridgewater have ever shown themselves a corrupt Con stituency. Then by what process was it that Colonel Tynte, a gentleman reputed to have a large estate, and Mr. Leader, a nouveau riche who has no ob jection, as we have been informed, to bleed pro fusely—how came it that they were returned at the former election ? 'Were the Bridgewater voters in 1835 corrupt or pure ? If venal, the old and young Radical, who had the majority of their suffrages, must have succeeded through corruption. If pure, then what proof of their degeneracy is afforded by the re turn of Mr. Broadwood in preference to Mr. Sheridan, enriched by the daughter and other property of the late Sir Colquhoun Grant ? It has been the feeling of those who best know England that no thing would be more injudicious than any posi tive or intermeddling efforts, on - the part of the Conservatives, to hasten the dissolution of the existing (so called) Cabinet, or the period of their own advent to power. Were the revo lutionary spirit advancing, the prpdent line of conduct would be directly opposite; were public spirit in even a questionable state, the policy might be to give it a de termined bias by some initiatory movement of the Conservative chiefs. But the vessel is carried forward in her"natural course by the free action of the unas sisted current : she requires neither steam nor canvass to accelerate her. When Conservatism succeeds o office, therefore it will be like a legitimate guardian re entering on his lawful trust. The right will be uni versally recognized, and things will resume those whole some relations which some unrighteous intruder had forcibly suspended.— Times. The noisy triumph of tke Tories in all parts of the kingdom sufficiently marks their sense of the truth of Burdett's assertion, that his politics are unchanged. They give the lie direct to their own prot4i. Sir Francis himself has ended consistently his triumphant assassination of the cause which he has so long pre tended to espouse, by taking his seat among the Peelite section of the Opposition—the very men whom he once denounced as enemies of the people, and desig nated by the most abusive epithets which his rich vo cabulary of abuse could produce. We are convinced that the people generally will not suffer such conduct as that of Sir Francis Burdett to pass without signal retribution. We are satisfied that the Tories will finally have to laugh on the wrong side of their mouths. Good always springs out of evil for the just cause. So just and sacred is the cause of the people, that we are satisfied that the temporary check which it has re ceived—by the most unheard-of treachery, and the most contemptible coalition—will finally tend to its more signal and decisive triumph. Taking the view which we have always taken, that the irresistible drift of society is towards an infinitely more improved social structure, than that under which such treacheries and such collusions as time above can be perpetrated with impunity, we arc very little affected by time trumpery struggles of individuals, or sectiosas of factions. We consider them of very little consequence ; they are cer tainly not of sufficient consequence to ruffle the pillow of any foresighted politician. The mighty crises which are preparing for the world will soon consign these noisy squabbles of over-grown babies to oblivion and contempt. Nay, we think the event is calculated to do good—it is calculated to open the eyes of the people, and to prove to them that they must in future trust to the professions of no man for , the redress of the nume rous abuses which grind them to the earth ; but trust solely to the energy, sagacity, and perseverance of their own determined will. " Hereditary bondsmen, know you not, Who would be free, himself must strike the blow?" With regard to Sir Frai'cis himself, we shall express our honest conviction of his conduct in plain terms. That conduct has tended, more than anything that been done for these fifty years, to bring political opinior;' ; political men, and political into public contempt. . Westminster's pride" has wide the very name of patriot stink in the public nostrits. With him, according to his own showing, politics are no thing but a standing lie. What man of honour who hates lies and liars "as the gates of hell," can in future hazard contamination by mixing himself up with such turbulent brawlers as Sir Francis Burdett has been ? This vain and weak old man persists in averring that be is unchanged, and that he has always been a Tory ? What, then, must his supporters be, who have been returning him during thirty years for Westminster ? Either they must have been the great est dolts to have been deceived by hint, or he must have been the greatest of knaves so pertinaciously to have deceived them. This was the real gist of the question mooted at Westminster. Shall unprincipled politics triumph, and shall political honesty be a mockery and a bye-word ? Shall the people be hence forward and for ever justified in withholding their sup port from any man who courts them by an external advocacy of the politics of the people ? By the re• turn of Burdett a premium is offered for the most profligate apostacy. The return pronounces all poli tical honesty to be sheer humbug. Any rich and vain fool may in future impose upon and assassinate them under the May-day garb of tinsel patriotism. Arc the people never to be relieved from bearing the pe nalty of these contemptuous tricks on their good .na ture ? If they submit to it without dashing back their scorn into the teeth of the scorner, they deserve to be con sidered what the two great factions of the aristocracy have too long learned to consider them—the mere pli ant instruments of their dirty and selfish purposes hewers of wood and drawers of water for their benefit —helots petted or rated as it may suit the caprices of eicir masters, and used by turns either as stens to the ladder of their ambition, or for their mirth and laugh ter when it suits time Lords of the Philistines to con sider the ,blind slaves capable of administering to their amusement. Sir Francis Burdett always a Tory I Why, we have heard him hundreds of times on the hus tings—besides advocating the most extreme radical opinions—use truculent phraseology, which we might emphatically term Robcspierian, or 11/erratisi• Fzr example, his present bosom friends were then " obscene binds ;" the parson magistracy, whom he now encou ra,es with the " No Popery' warhoop, were " bloody
