b elieved to be hollow. Most certain it is, that these arofessions have been shamefully violated. Whig 4 3ornmissionerships 'have notoriously become a very y-word for their umber and profligacy. But mind, ?up to this blessed clay, the imputation of ruling h!,7 -patronage, so justly charged upon the Whigs, has been strenuously denied. They were ashlenect of it. They never would confess it. But coral, Invitee lost the elections, and along with them every scnsc of decency, they arc prepared, it seems, to glory unblush ingly ill what they formerly disclaimed. They tell you - .flat, that henceforth they arc to govern by patronage. Bishoprics are to be battered for Whig votes. Peer sees, as in the Roxburgh casq , arc to b e g i ven away , en order to ingmence county elections. Partisans arc to be appointed to lucrative situations. Places under Go vernment are to be disposed of to nephews, cousins, Lind kitr,men, according to the force they can muster on a division. It is not enough that her Majesty's Whig controller has concussed the expectant trades men of the royal household to vote for Radical candi dates. It is not enough that the Whigs actually com missioned Lord John Churchill to he their broker for negociating the purchase of the Woodstock borough. No ; the accredited expositor of Whig policy now as sures us, that the system of governing by patronage, instead of principle, is in future to be prosecuted on is scale of enlargement and effrontery correspondin g to the desperate circumstances of the faction. S o muc h for the first part of the recipe for managing an ad verse Parliament. 2. But we learn from the same quarter that the second expedient for accomplishing a similar end is, that the Whigs are to be " more guarded in the measures which they propose to the Legislature." Did not we always say that rather than quit office, these wretched mercena-, fie.. would rush into the extremes of democracy or Conservatism according as a Parliamentary pres sure might impel them ? Their forlorn organ pro claims this to be the fact. The Whigs, he says, are now to he more guarded in their measures : or, in other words, as they enjoy the prospect of facing a more Conser motive Senate than the last, they are ready to adapt r.nd shape themselves to a more Conservative policy. O'Connellism, we suppose, is to he at a dis count. The Irish Municipal Bill will be framed so as to (lien the Corporations without handing them over to the Popish rabble. The Irish Tithe Bill, minus the appropriation clause, will neither insist on so large a deduction from the income of the clergy as formerly, nor attempt to abolish the Protestant worship in a single parish. Of course the Church-rate measure will also be modified to correspond. We long ex ceedingly to see the peculi ar ph raseo l ogy o f t h e " no tices of motions" in which such retrogressions shall be announced. Already our ears seem to ring with the deafening cheers that will accompany the enormous eating-in which Lord John Russell and his colleagues are about to sit down to. 3. The last resource wherewith the Whigs are to meet their difficulties is the exclusive possession of the Queen's confi dence, and the profitable use they can make of it. How far her Majesty is prepared to be a party to the realization of this vague and mysterious intimation, will be. seen when the sentiments of Parliament are definitely tendered to the Throne at the election of % Speaker, or in answering the address. But fiat the Whigs are deeply solicitous to fortify them selves in this " tower of strength," is abundantly evi dent from the ostentatious pertinacity with which even now they are daily in the habit of repairing to it. Dur ing the late King's reign the Whig Ministers were scarcely ever within the precincts of the Palace. Everything was done by means of written communi cations and messengers. At present, however, they are literally besieging and boring the Queen on the most frivolous occasions. As regularly as the m orn i ng comes, the C ourt Ci rcu l ar i n f orms us, that " yesterday Lord Me.lhourne had the honour of an audience of her Majev.y." Nay, so disgustingly are the Whigs over acti:ng this unworthy part that even the sanctity of the tioyal devotions cannot escape from their intrusions. Now all these Court flourishes on the part of Lord Melbourne are obviously meant to influence the current elections, and as the issues of the present week were understood to be vital to the existence of the Whig Ministry, so even on Sunday we had the Premier of England forcing his selfish secularities upon the pious retirement of the Palace, in order to delude her Mao jesty's subjects into a belief that the Melbourne ascen dancy at Court is apparently paramount to the highest and most sacred obligations. But: all will not do. Lord Melbourne's fate is sealed by his own Parlia ment. The Queen's confiden.;:e is not quite the exclu sive thing he takes it to be, and we are far in the wrong if her Majesty be not panting to transfer it.— Times. Hitherto we have only had to record instances of bribery, corruption, intimidation, and undue influence, employed by the Tories in winning the few electoral victories which they boast of—if victories they can be called. We have now, however, to drag before the public a greater crime committed by their party, and to strike a deeper note of indignation. The "brickbat system" has produced its fruits. Men have been mutilated, violently maltreated, and left for dead, in many places ; but in Canterbury a man has been ac tually deprived of life. The editor of the Kentish Chronicle charges the commission of the crime against the Conservatives. We give beneath an e xt rac t f rom the last number of that paper, in which he refers to the odtrage in terms of vehement indignation ; but not more vehement than deserved :—" Citizens of Canterbury ! your streets have been defiled with human blood One of those reckless hired ruffians of which a host was brought into your city at the late election, and who were plied with drink to inflame their passions, and supplied with bludgeons, that they might be the better prepared for the violence they were so well disposed to commit—one o f those desperate-bludgeon men has deprived e. peace able fellow-citizen of life ; and has tine; ma d e his wife a widow—and his seven childre: fatherless Who can conceive the vast aggre,;ate of misery which this deed of blood has occas'.oned, and will occasion, to this heart-broken farnil:y ? Conservatives of Can terbury !—CommittPc of Messrs. Bradshaw and Gipps ! we address ourselves to you. We divest our selves of the feelings of partizans—we address you as hu..76ands, as fathers, as brothers, as MEN ! You cannot call up from the grave, and restore to life, the festering corse of the poor man, slain by the hired ruf. flan who received your pay. But you can prevent his widow and orphans from pining in starvine solitude. Though not answerable to the widowed wife and or phan children by the laws of their country--we cite the employers of this hired ruffian to the bar of con science—to the bar of public opinion --and we aver that they are morally, if nut judicially, responsible to those whom they have thus, by their hired agent, bereaved of a husband and a parent." The edi tor of the Kentish Chronicle hat always been a consistent and useful Reformer. But he has also been hitherto opposed to vote by ballot. The disgraceful scenes which the last elections have exhibited in Canterbury—and especially the cruel out rage to which we: have above referted—have, neverthe less, induced him to change his opinion, and added him to the numerous and augmenting list of converts to the necessity of that measure. We have the great est pleasure in extracting the words in which he makes the avowal of his conversion. The former extract stig matizes the cause ; th e latter records the effect. " There is another result which we fervently hope will be pro deiced by th:s deed of blood. We see in it one of the torneroua evils which can only be remedied by the Ballot, The intimidation —the bribery—the d'ebau chery—.the rioting—which disgraced this city previ ously to and during the late election we have before referred to as having made us unwilling converts to that mode of vot i ng . W e li tt l e thought that we were So soon to have this additional most damning proof of the evils of the present system placed before our eyes. The present elections will convince Ministers, as they have convinced the country, that by the Bal lot alone can the Reform Bill be carried into effect. Without its protection to the tenant, the shopkeeper, the tradesman, the mechanic, the elec tive franchise is a mockery, and a mischief ; and the Act aaainst Bribery at Elections of no more worth than a last year's Almanack." We were not wrong in saying yesterday that the Tories, by the disgraceful scenes of corruption which they have exhi bited during their last desperate effort to recover the power of misgovernment, have been " making a rod for their own backs." We were not wrong io predict ing that the usual circle of . eettibUtive reaction (by which the affairs of this world are governed) would natelnet L'Z'avoy result ; that good will sprig; cAt . of ; and abuse work its own rem*. ti le fortes have Unintentionally conferrjele. temeht on the people.

It may be said to have been carried itttli rectly in the Coli-Lena during the last Session, when Mr. Grote brought it forward ; for the ;umbers against it are scarcely worth naming as a proof of legislativt. opinion. But henceforth nothing will be able to resist the accumulation of tonverts to its inaat's'Sity, and the unanimous and indignant demand for its protection by all that is worthy to be called the public—by it that is moral, honourable, independent and respectable in soelety. We hest already to anneunce the first pledge of its eventual triumph. Already numerous petitions, grounded on the abuses of the present elections, and demanding the protection of vote by bollot, are pre paring in alt parts of the country. The number of those petitions in the first Parliament of the new reign wilt enforce attention. One of the first of them will be presented from Canterbury ; and most of them, as we understand, and indeed recommend, will be backed be a prayer of permission to product evidence of its flagrant and insuperable necessity before the bar of the House of Commons.—Morning Advertiser. The conduct of the present Administration has completely changed the character of political contro versy. In former times every public man, whether be belonged to the side of Government or to that of the Opposition, was identified with some certain course of policy, and was dealt with accordingly by those who approved or who opposed that policy. There was no room for mistake as to the politics which a public man really favoured. No one could doubt whether men who were constantly in the public eye, were the ene mies of the Constitution or its friends—whether they wished the public institutions of the country to pros per or to perish. All this, however, is now changed; So far as Ministers are concerned, we are frequently compelled not to attack their policy, for we cannot make out what it is—not to attack their measures, for it may be said they are a Government without measures, but to complain that there is no honesty or straight forwardness in their public conduct, and that, from the contradictions which appear in it, nothing certain can be inferred, save its duplicity. At this moment there does not exist any certain ground from which a reasonable opinion may be formed of the political views of the Administration. The thing which is publicly avowed one day, receives a practical contradiction the next, and at last they who do not jump to con clusions from the passions or the prejudices which exist within themselves, are driven to this view—that there is nothing fixed or determined in the resolutions of the present Government, except that they will do whatever seems most likely to keep themselves in place. To show that we do not make this representation concerning the Government on any vague conjecture, or hastily formed opinion, we shall cite another exam ple, in addition to that of Mr. Spring Rice's Conser vative speech at Cambridge, which on a former occa sion, we adverted to. After the Secretary of State for the Home Department (Lord John Russell) was elected at Stroud, he made a speech, in which he as serted that he thought our ancient Constitution well" calculated to provide for the welfare and happiness of the people, and that by that Constitution, he, for one, was prepared to abide: If others thought differently from him, he continued, let them stand the risk of making the experiments they desired to see tried ; but they could not call upon him, holding the opinions he had stated, to maintain otherwise than he had done— that the ancient Constitution of Queen, Lords, and Commons, was capable of upholding, as well as calcu lated to uphold, that which they all desired to see up held—namely, the prosperity and the liberty of this great empire. Now who would not think upon reading this speech of the principal minister in the House of Commons that he, and the Government to which he belongs, were opposed to the Radicals. We have read this state ment over and over again, but we can find nothing in it which does not go in direct opposition to those whose avowed political object is to overthrow the ex isting Constitution, and to substitute for it a demo cratic assembly, with a nominal Sovereign, and with out an established religion. Now let us turn to the elections, where men professing this sort of Radicalism have endeavoured to get seats in Parliament for the purpose of working out their objects. Does Lord John Russell oppose them ? Does the Government oppose them ? No such thing—the Ministers do all they can to support the candidates who profess prin ciples directly oP7osed to those which Lord John Rus sell at Stroud., and Mr. S. Rice at Cambridge, have professed. What can honest men make of such per plexity ati this, but that these Ministers are not ho nest? How can men who thus say one thing and do ':.,other just the opposite, expect that they are to be believed and trusted ? We know that they are neither the one nor the other. Wherever they are supported, it is out of no respect to them, but because they are considered the most convenient instruments of a de stiuctive faction. Their duplicity deceives none but those who are devoid of thought, and it is the duty of all honest men to oppose them.—Morning Herald. That much difference of opinion has arisen in esti-, mating the result of the general election, so far as it has proceeded, can excite little surpsise. Partisans on either side are eager to persuade the community, having fi...3t perhaps succeeded in persuading themselves, that they, or the party to which they belong, have obtained an unequivocal accession, or sustained but little dim tuition, of strength. And when, in addition to this source of delusion and of error, it is considered that, the elements of all such calculations being, in fact, no other than the tendencies and predilections of each in dividual of a great number of men, must, for the present, at least to a considerable extent, be inde finite or unascertained, there will appear reason enough to withhold from all estimates of this nature any very confident or implicit reliance. It may, however, very fairly be inferred from its own language and conduct, not only that the Ministerial party has lost ground in the elections, but that it has lost so much ground as to produce among its most zealous and active adherents a painful apprehension that the Government of the country must speedily pass out of its hands. The adherents and partisans of Ministers exhibit all the ordinary symptoms of con scious defeat. The question among them seems no longer to be whether they have been beaten, or with what degree of severity, but merely why they have been beaten so completely. The underlings reproach the leaders, and the leaders the underling s . The former, vehemently insist that the case of the party would have been less deplorable had its inferior members attended more assiduously to the details of the re gistration, canvassing, &c. ; while the latter express with still greater bitterness and warmth their vexa tion and displeasure that the superior men of their party have not done enough to stimulate and reward their exertions, in the way of appropriating to them a larger share than they have been permitted to enjoy of general and local patronage. With the Whig-Radical party nothing is right. The conduct pursued by the Reform Government, and even the Reform Bill itself, are altogether wrong. Lords- Lieutenant and County Magistrates should all have been displaced at " one fell swoop" whenever they were not partisans of Mr. O'Connell. Local Boards should everywhere have been broken up if they con sisted of any other description of persons. There should not have been so much as a turnpike trust or a body of commissioners of the highway left in exist.

We have not neglected, how ever, to refer for information as to the actual state of the returns to persons who, from their position and chiracter, are more likely than any others to have a correct knowledge as to the political opinions of the various new Members returned, and are far above the pursuit of any transitory advantage which can be de rived from misrepresentation, and the result of our in quiries we have great satisfaction in laying before our readers. The returns from England and 'Wales are now complete, and to these we shall for the present confine ourselves, leaving Ireland and Scotland until , the elections for those divisions of the Union are concluded. tngland and Wales send to the House of Commons From these four arc to be deducted, whom it was found impossible to class under either of the heads of Ministerialist or Opposition Remain' Opposition Members 264 Nlinisterialist -496 32 THIRTY-TIVO is, we belive, the actual majority of Members of the House of CoMmons elected by the constituencies of England and %Vales, who are de termined to withhold their general confidence from Ministers.

What the present Ministers of the Crown may or may not attempt it is difficult and would be idle to conjec ture. But it may very safely be asserted that if they attempt to carry on the Government of this country while a majority of thirty-two of the English Members of .the House of Commons refuse them their confidence, and this in a Parliament elected during their posses sibn, and notwithstanding their usurping use of the ad vantages of actual power, they will engage in an enter prise wholly unexampled in the history of Great Bri tain or of any other country enjoying the benefits of a representative Constitution.--Morning Post.

Two of that party fell out in the yard of an attorney of this town, when one of them seized the other and tore his band very badly with his teeth. Another instance happened at the White Swan—one of Burdett's party had a dispute with Mr. Pottow, the land lord, whom he bit very severely on the thigh. Sir Francis Burdett's friends have marshalled themselves into a very large procession, and are at the moment we are writing this, parading the town : they have an abundance of music, flags, banners and devices of all kinds, to attract attention, and to gain applause ; but the spirit of the people is not with them. They are obliged as they pass along . to cheer themselves, there is no demonstration of joy on the part of the people in the street, or those who look out from the windows : it seems as if none were interested except those who compose their ranks ; their procession is a large and splendid one, but it is not popular.— Wilts Independent. There are now four steam-vessels plying regularly on the Danube. The following extract from Daniel Defoe is as ap plicable to the present condition of a great body of London mechanics as if it had been written yesterday :—" We are," says this shrewd observer, "the most lazy diligent nation in the world. There is nothing more frequent than for an Englishman to work till he has got his pocket full of money, and then go and be idle, or perhaps drunk, till it is all gone. I once paid six or seven men together on Saturday night, the least 10s., and sonic 30a., for work, and have seen them go with it directly to the alehouse, lie there till Monday, spend it every penny, and run in debt to boot, and not give a farthing air to their families, though all of them had wives and children. From hence comes poverty, wish charges, and beggary." STAFF. Colonel C. H.

The average price of Muscovado Sugar, from the returns made in the week ending the Sth of August, 1837, is 335. 40. per Cwt., excluvive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable on the Importa tion thereof into Great Britain. Thursday morning, about half-past seven o'clock, the workmeta engaged in excavating the ground in Totten ham-court-read, at the depth of twenty feet, for the pur pose of making a new sewer, fronting the porter brewery of Messrs. Meux and Co., discovered the skeleton of a young female, in a slight case of thin wood, which was taken out. On Wednesday afternoon six bodies were discovered, with out any signs of being interred in a coffin, one of which had the remains of a stake through the body ; a coffin was also found, with the remains of a body in it. A large horse-shoe was firmly affixed to the head of the coffin. The remains were removed for interment in St. Giles's Churchyard. It is generally supposed that the skeletons found had been those of persons who had committed fc/o de se upwards of a hundred years since. INEQUALITY OF HAPPIN.NSS.—I would sooner trust a well-natured, open-hearted Turk, than a cold, cal culating, ascetic Christian. Then as to happiness, my tra vels convinced me how very little real ditTerence is made irt the sum of it , by rank , fame , o r fortune. A Duke or link-boy has the same passions , ambition, dis..'Ppointments, affections, and sufferings ; a nd it depends en,tirely upon themselves whether the amount of t heir happiness shall n ot be the same. The whole is i n the mind, and th: minds of all ranks are equally dispo sed to ha pp iness froul na ture. Hence, therefore, inequality of happiness is a n ork of our own, and altogether artificial ; and all who are ct.'n" tent have equality, spite of appearances. It is the for change, the panting after what we have not, or the hankering after what we have had, that generates unea siness sometimes unbearable. He who rises in his station, a little and a little higher, though his original was the very lowest, is more gratified than he who is. born in the highest class, and cannot chang e without *descending. Alexander wept because he had no more worlds to eon quer. Had he been a serjeant of Alexander, insteaJ Alexander himself, he would not have wept.

RETRIBUTIVrt JusTicE.—Thursday afternoon gentleman engaged a cabriolet near Waterloo-bridge, giving directions to the driver to set him down at the Mansion House. As the vehicle approached Temple-bar, the driver began to lash his horse most unmercifully ; and, notwith standing all remonstrance, he continued until nearly OPPe" site Water-lane, Fleet-street, when the horse, stupified by the blows so unnecessarily showered upon him, stumbled and fell ; the driver was pitched headlong from his seat, and so severely injured that he was unable to proceed. The gentleman saved himself by adroitly seizing the dashing iron and swinging himself clear of the horse. The eabr„,p• will, doubtless, long remember his wanton barbarity, while the public at large will see in the occurrence another proof (and there have been some most lamentable ones) of the folly of employing the old cabriolets, which vehicles are now, generally speaking, in the hands of a set of ruthless ruffians, who are alike regardless of their own worth;eo persons and of the lives of her Majesty's subjects. A SECRET.—An auld wife, having heard an adYer tisement read from a London Newspaper, which ended H with this intimation, " not to be rep eated," exclaimed, " eat? sirs, that maun (must) be a great seeretr—Edinburg h Paper. Mrs. Somerville says that the mighty chain of the Andes, and the yet more lofty Himalaya, bear about the same proportion to the earth that a grain of sand does to globe three feet in diameter. The accounts from Courland, in Russia, furnish a melancholy picture of the prospect for the ensuing harve , tt. The winter was extremely late, there was scarcely all spring, and the weather since then has been almost uninter ruptedly rainy. The hay harvest is almost the only 0 0 that will not be entirely desttsved. THE DOCTOR AND TIIE 12_4TIENT.—"Yoll are g great deal better, are you not, my dex," said the doctor to Oliver Twist. Yes, I know hungry too, ar'nt you ?" " No, sir," ; o l u 'e a e r , e,, t , ha sa n i k d t y h o e u, ge s i l," o:ll r a e n plied " Hem," said the gentleman. " No, know' you're not. You are He is not hungry, Mrs. Bedwin," said the genticman, look ing very wise. The old lady made a respectful ilielinatioa of the head, which seemed to say that she thou.strht the doctor was a very clever man. The doctor appeare,i answered much of the same opinion himself. " You feel sleepy, you, my dear ?" said the doctor. " No, sir," replied Olive r ' " No !" said the doctor, with a very shrewd and satisfied loolP " You're not sleepy ; nor thirsty, are you ?" " Yes, sir, rather thirsty," answered Oliver. " Jus t as I expected, Bedwin," said said the doctor. "Its very natural that he s hould be thirsty—perfectly natural. You may give him a little tea, ma'am, and some dry toast without any butter. Po l . keep him too warm, ma'am ; but be careful t hat you cOll . ' e let him be too cold ; will you have the goodness?" 1:' old lady dropped a curtsey ; and the doctor, after tasting the cool stuff, and expressing a qualified approval thereof; hurried away, his boots creeking in a very important n wealthy manner as he went down stairs.—Oliver Twist, by Boz, ifs Bentley's Miscellany...
