meeting of his supporters yesterday with that of the Reformers, if he do not follow the example of Mr. Lyall, and decline a contest wherein he can gain nothing but obloquy and disgrace, and must sacrifice his chn.racter and money, merely for the gratification of a factious and despairing minority in the agonies of its death struggle.—Morning Advertiser.

Mr. Crr.L'r presented papers from the Treasury. On the motion of Captiin A LSAGF,R, Acton's Natu ralization Bill was read a second dine, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. COLONIAL ACCOUNT COMMITTEE. Dr. BOWRING moved that the evidence taken before the Colonial Account Committee shou d be laid on the table. His sole object in doing so was, that the evidence which hactrilready been taken before the Committee, tvhich was e*Ccillogly valuable, should not be lost in consequence of - theeifiFfikt, being a suffi c i en t num b er of members latter l y i n attentiinci4 to form a quorum. 'Tie. SPEAKER said that th e mot i on of the Hon. MernbOr would have the effect of making the House do that which it was the p rov i nce o f t h e C ommittee to do. 4'P. P. THOMSON th oug h t t h at t h e b etter course. for itiAtion. Member for Kil marnoc k wou ld b e to move that • •- - theft Members should constitute a quorum. Dr. BOWRING was afraid that such a motion would he attended with no effect. The number of Hon. Members in town were so few, that several Committees had met that morning, and had been obliged to adjourn, in consequence of their not being a sufficient number of Mem bers in attendance. The LORD ADVOCATE thought it was a question well worthy the consideration of the House, whether a sufficient number of Members ought not to be added to the Committee, to form a quorum. .77 Lord HOWICK thought that the better way would be that the Committee should have leave to report. After a few observations from Mr. P. THOMSON, Dr. BOWE ING adopted the suggestion of the Noble Lord (Ilowick), and moved that the Committee shou:d have leave to report. NEW POOR LAW ACT. Mr. wALTER presented a pttitien fitnn the parish of All S tints, Poplar, cemplaitThig or the introduction cif the New Poor hawAtA ifito that parish thtre Was at lire- sent a parochial law existing that regulated it. The ATTORNEY-GINERAL presented a pet:tion from Edinburgh for the better observance of the Lord's Day, and A petition from the same place against the sxsttit4 tf slavery carried on under the name o r potnti us l,i p i n Ole West Indies. Col. JONES prtnnted a petition from the diocese of Armagh. si.gned by 20,000 persons, praying for a rcvis'on PI tilt plan of national ('duration in Irk hod, Mr. BROTIIERTON presented clown petitions fr(m various towns in 1.1;-tenshire, praying for a TLn Factory Rill. Dr:IIOWRING then moved that U. drk nam s e added to the Colonial 4cc , :ttnt Comm:ttee. Lord 1-10 Wick said it would be better to give a no tice for te'morrow. Dr. BOWRING—That will defeat the object I have in view, as 1 leave town to-morrow.—( A laugh.) Mr. HUME then gave notice of a motion to that effect for to-morrew. Mr. P. THOMSON postponed the Order of the Da3 for the House agreeing to the-report of the Committee or Standing Orders till to-morrow. Lord SANDON begged to ask the Right Hon. Gen tleman, the President or the Board of Trade, whether he could lad• upon the table of the House an account of the expenses attending the taking out of Letters Patent under the new BM? Mr. P. THOMSON regretted that no account of the expense had been prepared. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL the Lords' Justices Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Acts of Parliament Reference DU went through Committee ; as did also the Conveyance of Buildings and Lands bill. The Bills were ordered to be read a third time to morrow. Mr. VERNON SMITH brought up the Report of the Church Building Commission Bill. Mr. P. THOMSON brought up papers by her Ma jesty's command, which were laid on the table. Dr. BOWRING postponed his motion for Copies of the tariffs of various countries till next Session as he un derstood it would lead to some discussion. In the mean time he trusted the President of the Board of Trade would give the matter his attention, as it was one of much importance. The Hon. Member also postponed the introduction of his Bill for the repeal of the Navigation Act. Mr. HA WKES gave notice that next Session he would move for leave to bring in a Bill for the protection of the manufacturers of hardware, Irish linen, gloves, &c. against foreign importation of those articles, with a view of afford ing employment to our own native artizans. The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on the Woolsack at Five o'clock. Lord PORTMAN brought up the report on the Bath Gas Bill. MESSAGE FROM THE QUEEN DOWAGER. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he and the deputation appointed to wait on the Queen Dowager with their Lordships' Address had waited on her Majesty, and had received the following answer : "My Lords,—l thank you most sincerely for your Message of Condolence, and for the deep sympathy you express on the afflicting loss I have sustained. " It shall be my anxious study to merit the respect and affection of the British nation, and I shall endeavour to prove my gratitude for this touching mark of your affection for the widow of your late excellent Sovereign." The Noble Lord concluded by moving that the answer be inserted on the journals.—Agreed to. PUNISHMENT OF DEATH BILL. Lord DENAIAN moved that the House go into Com mittee on this Bill. He said that lie did not think it would have the effect of increasing crime, but rather of diminish ing its extent considerably. Lord WYNFORD believed that this would be a most dangerous alteration of the law, and it was one he has de cidedly opposed to. The Noble Lord concluded by moving, as an amendment, that the Bill should be committed that day three months. The Earl of DEVON said that although the Bill had been introduced at a late period of the Session, as the prin cipal legal legal authorities of the country, after considera tion, thought it a wise and judicious measure, he should give it his support. After a few further observations from Lord \VYN FORD the House resolved itself into a Committee on the Bill. Lord ELLENBOROUGII thought that setting fire to any of her Majesty's men-of-war ought to be considered a capital crime, and should be punished with death. Lord COLCHESTER thought the seduction of any person on board her Majesty'‘ ships to commit a crime was a greater crime than the committal of the offence itself. Lord DENMAN said that great difficulty existed in proving the seduction. If any Noble Lord thought there was any doubt as to the construction of the Act as it wss now proposed, it was competent for him on the third read ing to introduce a clau se t o correc t an y errors t h a t ex i ste d. Lord BROUGHAM said the repeal of the Acts in question would not alter the law as supposed, for they only contemplated the act of seducing a soldier to commit mutiny where the crime had not been completed. Lord WYNFORD wished that the punishment of death should be preserved ; alio in smuggling cases, where the parti es we r e guilty of firing on a ny o f his Majesty's ships, ther e by endangering the lives of twenty or thirty men ; or where they beat the officer, almost to the de privation of life. Lord COLCHESTER rose, and was left speaking. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF Jul.r 10. DUNDEE WkTERWORKS. The Earl of RADNOR moved the third reading of the Dun dee Water-works Bill. The Noble Duke upon whose motion the clause was struck out, which contained the vital principle, he believed was not present when the Bill was iu Committee. If their Lordships allowed the Bill to be read a third time, he should move that the clause which had been struck out should be ad led by way of rider. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH said that after the rote he bad given upon this Bill three nights ago, it was impossible he could accede to the motion of the Noble Earl. If large manufactories in or near Dundee were in want of water, he was rather surprised the proprietors of these manufactories did not themselves come forward and provide the means of fur nishing a most ample supply of water. It was on principle, and principle alone, that he objected to the clause. Lord W HA RNCLIFFE also objected to the clause. The Earl of RADNOR said that the number of peti tioners who were in favour of the Bill were six times the number of those against it; and those who would be made liable to pay did not object to the clause. He did not pretend to say he knew of his own knowledge any reason why there should be this compulsory clause demanding payment, although perhaps the Noble Duke might be able to furnish a very good reason ; but one reason which a witness gave before the Committee for the necessity of the clause was that the Scotch were very cautious.--( A laugh.) The Earl of II ADDINGTON remained of the same opi nion as he had expressed the other evening, and therefore felt bound to oppose the clause. The Earl of CAMPERDOWN lamented the objections that was now taken to the clause had not been taken in Committee. If this clause were rejected, the Bill would be altogether destroyed ; there would he no time to in troduce another Bill this session, and the inhabitants of Dundee would be deprived of a great boon, and of a comfort which they at present were greatly in need of. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the gallery was cleared for a division, but none took place, the re-intro duction of the clause being negatived. Lord DUNCANNON moved the second reading of the Reform of Parliament (Ireland) Bill. Lord It EDESDA LE thought this one of the most monstrous Bills which had ever been presented to either House of Parliament.__( Hear, hear, hear.) It was ordered to be printed seven days after the Queen l4 mes sage was communicated to the Houses, that no important business should be brought forward—that was, after it was decided that a general election should take place immediately, and it was a Bill for altering the manner of taking the polls in Ireland. It bore the title of the Reform of Parliament (Ireland) Bill : in place of that it should be de nominated the Dublin and Cork Elections Bill. It was a de cided and disgraceful job, and therefore ho called upon the House to stop its further progress upon the most constitutional grounds. Its real object errs to disfranchise a number of voters in Dublin and Cork, and was a mere electioneering manoeuvre on the eve of a general election— (Loud cries of " Hear, hear)—and most strange to say, it was brought in by the lion. Member for Cork to disfran chise those very persons whose interest he was sent to Parlia ment to protect. He was assisted most strangely by the Attorney-General for Ireland, so that they had the spectacle the 1, of 1 leis law officer of the Crown h a i s c sistiigincis o n u one of hadfthemevoesrt d h i e s a g r r d a . ce f He l e e l t e r c u t s i t o ed nee ring jobs of which the i i the Bill had now gone as far as their Lordships would permit it, and that it would meet with its proper fate —rejection.—( Cheers.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE did not think the Bill justified the expressions used by the Noble Lord, or that the course pursued by the other House with respect to it de served the name of a tyrant majority. The Duke of WELLINGTON deprecated the introduc tion of a measure like the present after it had been stated by her Majesty's Ministers that they did not intend to introduce any new public measures. He thought his Noble Friend was perfectly justified in characterising the Bill as he had done, and he (the Duke of Wellington) would join with him in his opposition to the further progress of the Lord Si R A rroito defended the Bill: The r,aH of WICKLOW the thotnt for the introdiietient of. iVits inoptiottune, and tended to fast §l3§pjc.T.;titib its proffiti.le'rs. . thoUght ;herb inl . tfty would he eft•etCd by the ,paSSing of t h e measure than postponing it till nest Cession. lie would theiefuEe port the motion for the. Heetkoii or the The LORD 'C'i - iANV:;i3LL'iII tb fended the Bill, theonly obj: , et or . :hich was to carry iwo effect the intentions of the form,r Act. Lord WITARNCLIFFE oppoed the second reading of the Bill. The Nfarooi! of LANBDOWNE trusted the House would eithee idjoutu the deb ate oh the NIL or allow it to be mad a second tithe, in order that it might eo tibilithittee ) where the oblettinhatAe if•inilses might be struck out. Lord OA At!: supported the Rill. On the motion c.f Lord DUNCANNON the debate was adjourned during pleasure, and the two clauses were ordered to be expunged, as desired by the Commons. On the motion of Viscount DUNCANNON, the Ilouse resumed. Lord BROUGHAM said that the Bill appeal-P(1 to be as much a matter a course as any Bill he ever heard of. It had been introduced to afford facilities to the voters, and if tl-eir Lordships per.tevei-ed in rejecting the Bill, the expression of a " tyrannical majority " might be applied, perhaps, with greater truth to that than to the other House. Lord ELLEN BOROUGH said that if the inconvenience h.id been experienced, the Bill certainly ought to have been introduced before. lie objected, bon ever, to tha details of the Bill, and that was an additional reason for his voting against it. - The Earl of GL ENG A LI, said that he knew persons who had registered in at least a dozen places under the present system. He, t'icrcfore, trusted that the lists would be revised annually. Viscount DUNCANNON said that he trusted to see an alteration in the Reform Bill for Ireland, for under the pre sent system it was nearly impossible to have a fair election.— ( Hear, hear.) The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE said that the House of Commons ought to be the best judge of the number of polling booths which might be required at an election. This Bill, which was to effect that object, had been sent up the other House, and would the House reject it merely because a disso lution was expected ? The Earl of WICKLOW would ask whether 600 voters could not be polled in five days? Viscount DUNCANNON would undertake to say that 1,100 voters could not be polled in five days. Tho Earl of WINCHILSEA said that, according to the statements of the Noble Lords opposite, at least 200 voters had been deprived of the opportunity of voting at former elec tions ; and why, he would ask, had this Bill been delayed by the Attorney-General to the eve of an election? He thought that the case could not have occurred before, and he therefore could have no hesitation in voting for the motion of his Noble Friend. The Earl of R A DN OR said if those electors were entitled to vote would it be just to deprive them of the means of doing so in consequence of the neglect of the Attorney-General ? Instead of Noble Lords on their side of the House tampering with the franchise he should say it was Noble Lords on the op posite side. The Duke of RICHMOND said, as the House would come to a division on the Bill he would make a few observations before he gave his vote. If there were not sufficient accom modation to take all the votes the result would be that the electors would have to fight up to the poll, and the most popular and numerous party would, of course, carry the day. One of the greatest benefits conferred by the Reform Bill was the increase of the polling places, and as he thought that this Bill would only be carrying out the same object he trusted that the Noble Lord would withdraw his motion. The House then divided, when the numbers were-- For the Bill Against it Majority 3B The Bill was consequently lost. The Civil Courts ( Ireland) Bill passed through Committee. BILLS 'OF EXCHANGE BILL. Tho Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved that the House should resolve itself into a Committee on this Bill, and stated that, in consequence of an objection which had been raised, that this Bill was inconsistent with the provisions of the Bank Charter Bill, he had thought it right to ascertain the feeling and opinion of the Bank upon the subject, and was enabled to inform the Noble Delve opposite and the House that there was no opposition to the Bill on the part of the Bank of England ; but that, on the contrary, the individuals connected with that establishment, as well as all connected with the moneyed in terests, highly approved of it. The Duke of WELLINGTON said undoteitedly this Bill was inconsistent with the Act for the settlement of the Bank Charter ; and on that ground he had thought that the House ought to pause before they entertained the measure ; but as the Noble Marquis stated that there was no objection on the part of the Bank of England, he should not press that subject, although, in point of form at least, he considered it objec tionable. He confessed that he was not opposed to the prin ciple of the Bill. It might be necessary under the peculiar circumstances of the present time, but, as a permanent mea sure, it was highly desirable that this Bill should not become the law of the land. He would not, therefore, offer any op position to the present motion • but on the third reading he should propose that a clause be introduced limiting the ope ration of the Bill within a fixed period, viz., from the present time to the Ist of January, 1839. After a few words from the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the Bill passed through Committee, and was reported with out amendments. The third reading was fixed for Thursday. On the motion of Lord B ROUGH A NI, the Attorneys and Solicitors Bill was read a third time. FORGERY BILL. On the motion of Lord DENMAN the House went into Committee on this Bill. After a few words from Lord WYNFORD, clauses I and 2 were agreed to. On clause 3, Lord LYNDIIURST wished to introduce an amendment, with a view to limit the extent of solitary con finement, by which certain offerces were made punishable. He proposed that no person should suffer the punishment of solitary confinement for more than one month at one time, or for more than three months in one year. Lord DENM AN entirely concurred in the propriety of that amendment, which was accordingly arced to. The other clauses were agreed to and the Bill was reported. The Report ordered to be received to-morrow. The Robbery and Stealing from the Petsln Bill passed throng-1i Committee, and was reported to the ibuse, with a few merely verbal amendments. Report to be received to morrow. The House then went into CJnunitte2 on th.; Off,:nees against the Person Bill. — The remaining clauses, with amendments, were agreed to, the House resumed, and the report was ordered to be re sumed to-morrow. BURGLARY AND STEALING FROM A DWEL LING.HOUSE BILL. This Bill, on the motion of Lord DENMAN, went through Committee, the House ,resumed, and the report was ordered to be recei♦. d to-morrow. BURNING AND DESTROYING BUILDINGS AND SHIPS BILL. Lord WYNFO RD desired to suggest to their Lordships the propriety of adjourning the consideration of these Bills to a future period. The S_•ssion was now so late that he really considered it more decent to wait until next Session. It was very generally allowed that the punishment of death ought to be abolished in every case except where murder had been committed. He would put it to their Lordships if the Bills now before the House were not drawn up strongly in opposi tion to that opinion ? He thought that it would be better not to proceed with the consideration of them at present, hut to introduce fresh Bills in an amended form next Session. The Bills could originate with their Lordships, and he had no doubt the oth e r House would agree to the proposed changes. He should move, as an amendment, that the House do resume. Lord LYNDHURST said that the general opinion was certainly in favour of abolishing the punishment of death, except in cases of murder, and, for his part, he desired to see it abolished altogether. The Duke of RICHMOND thought that it would he ex ceedingly unwise to postpone the consideration of these Bills. It was true that they would again, in all probability, meet in October, and fresh Bills might be introduced ; but he did not sec why they should not, in the meantime, make those now under consideration as perfect as they could. The Session was, as the Noble and Learned Lord had remarked, far gone, but they had only to sit somewhat later than usual—to 12 o'clock, if necessary—to complete them. He hoped their Lordships would agree with him that it was better to proceed with the Bills at present. Lord ELLENBOROUGH thought that it would bo de cidedly better to go on at present. Lord BROUGHAM thought that they had better proceed, and make the Bills perfect as soon as posiible. Further im provements could be made in them hereafter. Lord DEN AN could not see that more attention could be paid to the Bills at any other period than at present. As many Noble Lords acquainted with such subjects were now present as could be expectel at any other ',cried he thought it better to proceed. Lord LYNDHURST said that at several reriods the pu nishment of death had been done away with tor several of fences. It was found that crime decreased in proportion as the punishment of death became I.ls frequent. He was for going much farther, and he thought they ought not to delay making improvements in the present state of the law. H e was averse, therefore, to delving the consideration of the Bill even to the next session. Lord WYNFORD said that, as the sense of the House ;vas aglinst him, he would withdraw his amendment. The several clauses were the a agreed to, with some ;light amendments, and the report was ordered to be conaiderad to morrow. TRANSPORTATION FOR LIFE BILL. On clause 6 being moved, Lord LYNDH UR ST proposed, as an amendment, that, after the words "on board the same," should be introduced the words "whoever shall by force impede any one will was trying to save his life, whether he was still on board or had quitted the vessel." He thought the crime of preventing a wrecked man from saving his life was certainly deserving of transportation for life. Agt eed to. The other clauses were agreed to, and the report was or dered to be brought up to-morrow. THE PIRACY BILL. This Bill, after a few remarks from Ehe Marcuis of BUT, passed through the Committee, and was ordered to be reported ttmtiorrott.

They might as well repeal the punishment of Uatii for treason as for some of the offences from which that punish. ment was removed by the present Bill. Lord BROUGHAM said that in the present exhausted Rate of the House it would be better that his Noble and Leartied Friend should allow the Bill to be read a second time, and tahe the debate to which his opposition would give Fitt, to4i - itirfdvi• tilt 'hying into Committee. Lord WYN FORD could not alto* tilt! BEI to be read a second time without protesting against it. He could not Coil; cur in withdrawing the capital penalty in such cases as the destruction of dock-yards, or tampering with the y o r navy. Lord LYNDHURST said that this Bill had not been sect up with other Bills. Lord WYNFORD said the Bill had not come up until the 9th of July. Lord BROUGHAM thought they ought not to go to a prorogation until this Bill was passed. The Duke of WELLINGTON would not wish to inter fere with the progress of the public business, but he thought it could be no inconvenience if the second reading of the Bill were postponed until to-morrow, as the prorogation could not take place before Saturday. Lord BROUGH AM said that, considering the state of the judicial as well as the general business of the House, he did not sec how the prorogation could take place so early as Sa turday. Lord LYNDHURST said that during the five months and a half which Parliament had sat there had been forty-five Bills passsed in the other House, forty of which had-been sent up to their Lordships only within the last fortnight. It was impossible to give them all due consideration. After a short conversation, Lord WYNFO LW agreed to allow the Bill to be read a second time, on the understanding that he protested against the Bill, and that the discussion should be taken in going into Committee. Viscount MELBOURNE understood the Noble and Learned Lord's acquiescence to be an accommodation under protest. The Bill was then read a second time. The Coroners ( Durham) Bill and the Municipal Rates Bill were severally read a second time. The report of the Ecclesiastical Appointments Suspension Bill was brought up. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Ten o'Clock. PREPARATIONS for the GENERAL ELECTION. ESSEX.—During the past week the three candidates for the Southern Division of this county, Messrs. Bramston and Palmer, and Mr. Branfill have been engaged in canvassing the electors. We stated, in our last, that Sir John Tyrell was about to retire from the Northern Division, but the Honourable Baronet has since addressed the electors, declaring his deter mination to offer himself again. Mr. Elwes retires, and his place is filled by C. G. Round, Esq., of Birch Hall, one of the Chairmen of the Quarter Sessions. The names of J. G. Rebow and other gentlemen have been mentioned as likely to start in the Liberal interest, but no formal announcement has yet been made. John Round, Esq., of Danbury-place, has announced his intention of becoming a candidate for Maldon, in conjunction with Q. Dick, Esq. The contest will probably be a severe one ; at the last election, Mr. Lennard was returned by a ma jority of 51 over Mr. Mildmay. At Colchester, Sir G. H. Smyth and Mr. Sanderson are the only candidates actually in the field. The Hon. Members yesterday commenced their canvass. At present no Liberal candidate has come forward, but it is stated that a gentleman who sat for Honiton, in the first Reformed Parliament, will solicit the suffrages of the electors. For Harwich, two Reformers, Capt. A. Ellice, brother of the Right Hon. E. Ellice, and Mr. Tower have taken the field against Messrs. Herries and Bonham. Captain Verner, the candidate at the last election, is exerting himself for Captain Ellice.—Essex Herald of this day. ISLE OF WionT.—Captain Pelham contests this island on Reform principles in the room of Sir R. Simeon against Mr. Holmes. TAtINTON.—The Somerset Gazette states that Mr. Labou chcre is safe ; the contest lies between Mr. Bainbridge and Mr. Lee, the Tories relying upon being able to oust Mr. Labouchere next time, if they can but put one foot in by the present election. WEST SOMERSET.—The Tories have prevailed on Mr. T. D. Acland, a mere boy, to offer himself as a candidate for West Somerset, against the present Members, and a very ac tive canvass has been commenced by them in his favour. Sandford and Tynte, the sitting Members, however, will, one and all, be supported by the farmers. The contest will pro bably be a sharp one. SUNDERLAND.—The enthusiasm for Mr. Andrew White and Mr. Bsrclay is such as to warrant the assertion that their re turn is perfectly secure. Mr. Alderman Thompson has but slight grounds for hope, and he secs it. A Correspondent of the Sunderland Herald says—" If any thing was required to prove the Alderman's character, dubious and unworthy of trust as a politician, it might be found in his close and intimate connection with Wright—a man who, after having once ranked high amongst the Reformers of Sunderland, suddenly changed his views and became an ultra-Tory. And yet this man is Mr. Thompson's most active agent 1 And how mean and oppressive are their practices 1 A few days ago they threatened an elector that unless he voted for Thompson, his rent should be raised from 121. to 201., his landlord being one of Thompson's partisans." STOKE-UPON-TRENT.—Messrs. Davenport and Copeland's Committee have issued a notice that the procession of their party through the Potteries will take place on Tucsday, the 11 th instant. The friends of these gentlemen will assemble at Stoke early on that morning, and then proceed to Lane end, and from thence through the district, to Tunstall. The procession will return to Buralem, and break up at the Mar ket-hall. RIPON. —Sir J. C. Dalbiac retires from the representation of Ripon, and Sir E. Sugdcn will be elected in his place. Miss Laurence's pig-sty votes (see Report of the Bribery and Intimidation Committee) will be as worthily represented by the one as the other. . . _ WALSALL.—F. Finch, Esq., is canvassing in opposition to the Tory Mr. Forster, whose friends are exerting themselves to I romote his re-election. LIVERPOOL—The canvas for Ewart and Elphinstone is proceeding most successfully. Every thing indicates the triumphant return of the Liberal candidates on the day of election, which will occur in the course of the next fortnight. " Esvart and Elphinstone for ever I and no mistake l"—Albion. SALFORD. —Garnett will be distanced. The Manchester Guardian says that " the returns to Mr. Brotherton's Com mittee, of the state of the canvass, are such as to leave no doubt of his re-election for that borough, which he has served with so much fidelity." ROCIIDALR..—The Tories do not appear at all desirous of expending another 3,0001. upon the borough. No Conserva tive Candidate has, up to this time, made his appearance. Sours LANCASHIRE.—We announced in our last Satur day's number the determination of the Reformers of this divi sion to bring out two candidates of their own principles to represent them at the approaching election ; and that Mr. Stanley, of Cross Hall, saving consented to stand for ward as one of them, Mr. Charles Towneley had been ap plied to, to become the other. This division is now, there fore, on the cve of another and a desperate contest. There are eighteen thousand electors.—Aluncliester Guardian. In consequence of the retirement of Mr. Gisborne, Mr. Evans, than whom a more honourable man, and consistent po litician does not exist, has signified his intention of soliciting the suffrages of the electors.—North Devon Chronicle. RADNORSHIRE.—It is uncertain whether the Conservatives in this county can again impose on the credulity of Sir John Walsh, and induce him to contest the representation with the present member, Mr. Wilkins ; but it is certain that, in that event, the same glorious result will attend the exertions of the electors of Radnorshire in 1837, which so nobly crowned their efforts in 1835. BRECON BOROUGII.--11fr. Morgan, the present Tory mem ber will not be allowed to walk over the course. Mr. Lloyd of Dines, has come forward in the Liberal interest. BRIICON COUNTY.—The spirited Major Gwynne Belford will be found at his post ; he has strong claims on the united exertions of the Liberals. MONMOUTTISIIIRE.—There is no talk of a contest for this county, Mr. Blewitt a Reformer, and Mr. Bailey, jun., a Tory, are candidates for the joint boroughs of Newport, Mon mouth, and Usk. The friends of Mr. Blewitt arc very san guine, but there is a very long purse opposed to him. There must be exertions before all is safe. NORTH DIRBYSIIIRS.—Mr. Arkwright and his partizans have been actively canvassing some parts at least of North Derbyshire for more than a week. Mr. Cavendish is still at tending his parliamentary duties. With respect to Mr. Ca vendish we cannot conceive that the electors could, under any circumstances, forget his very great merits as their representa tive. Mr. Cavendish is not one of those members of the aristocracy who, under the constant pressure of a reforming constituency, doles out by driblets the least possible measure of Reform. CARmawritENsiim.—The Tories threaten to bring forward another candidate for this county, in conjunction with Col. Trevor, but Sir James Williams, the present excellent Mem ber, with the aid of the "grey coats," is sure of his scat. The Tories will fight in vain. The Carnarvon Herald assures electors, that " Candidates on Reform principles will solicit their suffrages in Denbigh shire and Carnarvonshire, under the highest auspices. Union acid action—and the representation will be rescued from the dictation of Toryism." SCOTLAND. - ABERDEEN.—(From Aberdeen Herald).—On Wednesday evening, a very numerous and respectable body of electors met in Alm ison's Hall, for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements with a view to secure the re-election of our city representative in Parliament, Mr. Bannerman.—Provost Milne took the Chair. ABERDEENSIIIRE.—We have not heard the name of the can didate that is to start against Captain Gordon, but we have received communications from various quarters, stating that the Liberal tenantry are waiting impatiently for the movement of their leaders. BANYFSHIRE.—We have been expecting every hour a notice that the eldest son of General Duff had started against Captain Ferguson. It is said that the Liberal cause is safe here, if the candidate and his friends display proper energy. Kts , ,V?!..l74PaiitßE.—There is nothing doing in this quarter yet. Nte. gttppogd the Libarals have made up their minds to to isiisrepteSenHdoti, is said ttietd sdl be no oppo sitiOri in thi.i ttrilted , Yottott to Colonel Grant, the pic3tqit Con ithp;tiVe ,Member: .

EiorA tio Ross, of Rossie, has just come oia. Alos 1 poor Horatio I What next ? TOW INVY,RNESS BURGOS.—Mr. M'Leod of Cadboll, the" present 51ember fur- fiutherlandshire, will contest vigorously, and with every chance o( Stieetts, the Inverness district of burghs, comprising Inverness, Porre3, Portro±e, and Nairn. We wish this gentleman God speed. Mr. tfn et7mds a good chance in Caithness a,gainsi George Sinclair ; LOt . b is quite safe in the Wick district ; Inverness-shire we suppose, Tlie Ul!ivholm's; and there is no probability of recovering Ross-shire from Val Tories at this time. Mr. Balfour, the Tory Member for Orkney and i3het land, will be ousted by Mr. Frederick Dundas. Pavan COUNTY.—Mr. Maules' reception by the constituency has been of the most gratifying and encouraging description, Wine Lord Stormont, albeit backed by all the influence of the Tory squires, is finding the work as "up-hill "as possible. Mr. Maule is obtaining promises of support from many of those who formerly supported Sir 0. Murray. The Tory candidate is personally dislibed. LANAntsntrt.—The Hon. C. Augustus Murray has started for the representation of this county in opposition to the Tory candidate, Mr. A. M'Dunald Lockhart, of Lee. SELKIRK.—Mr. Pringle of Haininn . , the former Liberal Member for this county, who stands high b in the opinion of the olectors, will oppose Mr. Pringle of Whytbank, the Duke of Buccleugh's nominee. Only in the event of Mr. Fergusson's being re-elected for East Lothian, a vacancy will occur in this district. It is un derstood in the event of such a vacancy taking place, the So licitor- General will become a candidate for the representation. —Scotsman. The Provost has called a meeting of the electors of Greenock, to consider the propriety of requesting Mr. Wal lace to continue to be their representative. We doubt not the raeeting will be unanimous in desiring to retain Mr. Wal lace's services, and it is equally probable that that gentleman will comply with their request. Greenock will thus be re lieved from all the heat and turmoil of a contest. Contrary to rxpcctt►tion, there is a yet no appearance of any opposition to Mr. Houstoun in the county; and, in Piisley, Mr. Hastic walks the course. Thus Renfrewshire bids fair to enjoy perfect tranquillity, while all around is in commotion. It is true that the district of Burghs in connection with Port. Glasgon is to be contested, Mr. Colquhoun of Killermont having taken the field against Dr. Bowring ; but, as Kilmar nock will be the scene of the brunt of the battle, the struggle will be little felt here.—Greenock Advertiser. BATH-MONDAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—Your well-known willingness to correct the misrepre sentations of your Contemporaries, or any inadvertent mistake in your own columns, induces me now to trouble you. In the Standardof Saturday appeared a most abominable tissue of false hoods, professedly sent by a Correspondent. It states that an Alderman and Magistrate of Bath spat in Lord Powerscourt's face, and stripped off his coat and offered to fight the party of Tory canvassers; the fact is, the Alderman (who is not a ma gistrate) was insulted by some of the party, and his Welsh blood prompted him to threaten them with chastisement—his stripping, and spitting in the face of Lord Powerscourt is a pure invention of the unprincipled correspondent of the Stand ard. Having stated thus much for the sake of fair play, the same motive will induce rae to correct an error you have been led into by a Bath Correspondent, who states in Saturday's Sun, that the reform candidate for Bath, Capt. Scobell, has but 200 or 300 supporters, and that his Committee is composed of the refuse of Bath I The fact is, Capt. Scobell is brought forward by a large, respectable, and influential section of the Liberals of Bath, who think that Mr. Roebuck has pursued a very unwise and eccentric course—that he treads in the foot steps of Hunt, Cobbett, Fergus O'Connor, and others of that school, and whose vote in favour of some good measures very poorly compensates for the injury his general conduct, does to the cause of Reform. _ I am, Mr. Editor, A CONSTANT READER OF TUB SUN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. your paper of Thursday the 6th instant, you have inserted a statement headed " Murderous Attempt," which appears to have been a tremendous affair. We are sorry your respectable paper should have been made the vehicle of such a report, seeing that there is no truth whatever in the matter. The facts are that Joseph Armitage, the man said to have been attempted to be murdered in Little Ireland, was Chairman at a drinking bout of a bevy of workmen employed to do some flagging at Knox's factory. He proposed himself that each man should club his shilling for drink, or submit to be tied up ; when it came to his turn he declined to pay ; whereupon we, his companions proceeded to execute the sentence his own law had imposed, and forthwith tied him up round the middle, not round the neck, to a stump, whereupon some women made an outcry, and a great crowd was collected, as is easily done in that neighbourhood. The whole you will see was a drinking frolic—no harm was done to any one ; nor did any interference of police take place so much then for this tremendous " Murderous Attempt." The police reports of the town being absolutely silent on the matter, as well as all our local papers, is the best confirmation of the truth of this contradiction. We, the parties concerned in the matter, beg you to contra dict in your next Sun the alleged " Murderous Attempt." JAMES GRANE. THOMAS HANCOCK. WILLIAM GOUI.DIN. SAMUEL EDISON. Manchester, July 10, 1837. [*„,* The article referred to in this letter was copied from a Morning Contemporary.—En. Sun.] REPRESENTATION OF MARYLE- BONE. The Hon. Leicester Stanhope has written the following letter to the Secretary of the Marylebone Reform Com mittee, in answer to one from that gentleman, enclosing the pledges agreed upon at the late meeting of the electors, to be submitted to each of the candidates before they would promise him their support _ ;IH, Mansfield- street, July 5, 1837. " DEAR Stn—As a candidate for the representation in Parliament of St. Marylebone, I hasten to answer your let ter of yesterday, submitting certain pledges for my con sideration. A wise precaution this ; for who can object to pledging himself to that which, after due deliberation, he deems right ? He who on the hustings goes beyond this is a time-serving knave. I pledge myself with pleasure to all the Resolutions. With respect, however, to the Poor-law Act, I must explain my opinions. I consider it the first duty of a statesman to attend to the interests of the poor. This is best effected by education, by enlarging the field of employment, or by enforcing an enlightened system of relief to the des titute. The Board of Commissioners not being elected, and their powers not being defined, are objectionable— far worse are the Tory m agistrates. The Board of Guar dians are preferable to the overseers, being more numerous and better selected. All wise restraints to promote dis cipline in the poor-house I approve ; but I abhor making it a place of punishment —a prison. Able-bodied industrious, good men, should be relieved out of the poor-house. In a word, I pledge myself to support a revision of the poor laws. As regards St. Marylebone, all interference with their affairs would be injurious, for St. Marylebone is a model of good local government. As the electors of St. Marylebone are too wise to trust to pledges not in unison with past conduct, I shall now briefly allude to my past history. From my boyhood I have contended for civil and religious liberty, and for reform. Destructive I am none, but am devoted to the Constitution banded down to us from our Saxon ancestors, and which, like the human mind, is susceptible of constant improvement. " For time is the greatest innovator ; and if time alters things for the worse, and wisdom and counsel shall not alter them for the better, what shall be the end?" When on the staff in Ireland I advocated Catholic Emancipation, and was banished that country. I then went to British India with the Marquis of Hastings, ant). (being Deputy Quarter Master General) I contended for a free press. I contributed to make the Censor of Madras throw up his employment, and but for my good friend Go vernor Elliott, should have been forced to "cross the surf" —should have been banished. The press in British India, after a hard and long struggle, is still free, and the iron despotism and wily superstition of ages must how to its so vereign power. On my return to England I persevered in my advocacy of the Asiatic press at the India House. I espoused Queen Caroline's cause, and was selected as her Chamberlain. I next went to Greece—served with Byron in that sacred cause, and established there schools, also a free press, which, amidst the clash of arms and factions, is still in activity and free. From Greece I was driven by the Tory Government of England, but Otho, in acknowledgmen t of my services, sent me the Order of " the Redeemer." To Milan I went, and from Milan I was banished in consequence of my political character. Of this I complained aloud to the Emperor of Austria, and was afterwards allowed to sojourn in that city. After the passing of the Reform Bill, 1 stood for the Tower Hamlets with many other candidates, and was sup ported by nearly three thousand votes. If this course of conduct gives me a claim to the suf frages of the virtuous electors of St. Marylebone, I am ready to devote myself to their service ; but if superior claims are advanced by any other candidate, I will support him with all my heart. I will spend no money beyond the expenses.legal I beg o f you to lay this letter bef ore th e C omm i ttee, May and the General Meeting when assembled. I am, &c., LEICESTER STANHOPE. To J. Ivimey, Esq., AA% WY to the Reform Committee. THE QUEEN. KENSINGTON, JULY 10.—On Sunday afternoon her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester visited the Queen and the Duke of Sussex. Her Royal Highness, who looked rather better, remained with the Queen nearly an hour and a half. The Duchess of Sutherland (Mistress of the Robes) also visited her Majesty. About half-past four o'clock Vicount Melbourne arrived at the Palace, and immediately had an audience of her Majesty, w;ficli lasted upwards of an hour and a half. On no previous day has so large a number of respectably' dresnd persons collected about the Palace, for the purpose of seeing her Majesty take her departure for her usual airing, al nu Sunday—the large area in front of the Palace, and a consi -- ciertOstn portion of the avenue, being completely crowded. At a quarter p*st fire: o'clock, her Majesty's open landau, drawn by four horses, vo'nh outriders, drew up in the garden avenue, where they remained until shortly before the departure of Lord Melbourne, when they were suddenly countermanded, much to the :Trot of the crowd. This forenoon the Queen was visited by Prince Ernest of Hesse Phillipstital, Lady Grey and Lady C. Jeukinson also visited the Queen. At half-past five o'clock her M ,jesty, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent, the Princess of Leiningen, and Baroness Lehzen, left the Palace in an open barouche, preceded by two outriders, and after driving through Kensington, Hammersmith, and over the suspension-bridge to Wimbledon-common, re turned about seven o'clock. Her Majesty looked exceedingly well, and was much cheered by the persons who witnessed her departure and return. 1 COURT CIRCULAR.

COAL MULE TAVERN, STRAND.—This old esta blished respectable place of public amusement con tinues to draw from all quarters. It is crowded every night by Noblemen and Gentlemen, who, we need hardly say, evince the highe:t gratification from the well conducted and unri valled convivial meetings. The singing is, as it always has been, of the first order. The wines and spirits are of the choicest quality. A Kiss AlAscuLiNE.—Dinner was proceeding, when suddenly the door opened, and a tall, stout man, some forty years old, or thereabouts, rejoicing in a huge pair of red dish mustachios, entered. The Baron sprang up, dashed his napkin across his mouth, and a sonorous embrace took place between the two friends that re-echoed through the room. When Greek met Greek ensued the tug of war, but it was nothing to the concussion of one mustaehiod lip encountering the other at this energetic greeting. There was no evasion in the matter, no touching of cheeks or foreheads, or other half measures, but a regular bona fide, honest, sounding kiss. as much as it was possible for two pairs of lip to perpetrate...-.
