In the evening she was re ritably cheerful and happy, without making the slightest p(i)ernplaint.

His Majesty gave audience to General Sir James Cockburn on Wednesday afternoon, and then, accompanied by her Ma jesty, drove out as far as Rottingdean, and back to the Palace. Count and Countess Ludolf arrived here on Wednesday from town, and shortly afterwards called to pay their respects to their Majesties. Lord and Lady George Hill, the Bishop of Ely, Sir Charles and Miss Dalbiac, are in the departure list for town. Their Majesties entertained at dinner, last evening, the fol lowing personages, in addition to the usual circle :—Sir Geo. and Lady Shiffuer, the Earl and Countess of Chichester, Ad miral Sir Harry Neale, Sir John Brook Pechell, Captain and the Hon.

THE RIGHT OF PEERS TO VOTE AT ELECTIONS. - TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—I saw the above question mooted in The Sun news paper a few days ago, and I also saw your remarks thereon, which did not go exactly to the point. I took it for granted that some professional gentleman in the metropolis would notice the matter, and set it to rights ; but, perceiving that such has not been the case, but that the ques tion remains in statu quo, it strikes me that the following general statement of the actual state of the law, as to the point in dispute, may not be unacceptable to your readers, though it come from an humble individual in the country— from one, however, who has had occasion to pay some little at tention to the subject of elections : I lay it down then as certain, that a Peer (since the passing of the Reform Act) may vote at elections, provided he is on the register of voters, and answers the questions contained in section 58 of the above Act, which questions contain nothing which, as a Peer, he may not answer. The reason is this : the Reform Act makes the Register of Voters the sole criterion as to qualification. A Peer, it is true, is disqualified from voting by law—but the Reform Act virtually fixes a time beyond which the question of his disqua lification cannot be entered into—that time is the making out the Register of Voters. If the Peer is- objected to in due form, as prescribed by the Act, this disqualification is suffi cient authority to the revising barrister to strike him out of the list ; but should the Peer not be objected to before the re vising barrister, his name must remain on the list, which the Reform Act says " shall be the Register of Voters for the ensuing year." By carefully perusing the whole of the 58th section of the Act, it will clearly be perceived, that not only Peers, but aliens, convicted felons, infants, women, Government officers, persons employed by the candidates at the election—and, in short, all the tribes of persons formerly disqualified, may now vote, provided they have passed the ordeal of registering, and can answer the queries—as to qualification—before alluded to. The Act also abolishes scrutiny before the returning officer, transferring- it to the House of Commons. It would be a question whether, in a scrutiny before that House, the votes of Peers, and the other parties referred to, could be struck off. lam inclined to think not. It strikes me that the ex pressions in the Act legalise the votes of all persons on the Register. The subject is one of manifest importance, and it would seem necessary that some further measure should be enacted to cure this defect. It has been suggested that the appointment of an official objector to weed the lists of such voters, would be desirable. This might answer in some cases, but would not meet all con tingencies, as I could easily explain, were I not becoming too tedious already. I shall, however, be willing, if called on, to support my views at some future time. At present, begging the favour of your inserting the above, I am, Mr. Editor, Your obedient servant, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Feb. 4, 1835. ZETA. IRELAND. ANTI-TORY ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, FEB. 3.—A meeting of this body was convened to-day in the Corn Exchange Rooms by Mr. O'Connell, who intimated in the requisition his intentions of addressing them upon some subjects of great political importance. I attended the meeting accordingly, and subjoin as full a report of Mr. O'Connell's address as it was possible to furnish before post hour. The Chair was taken by JonN O'CONNELL, Esq., M. P. for Youghal. Mr. O'CONNELL, M. P. for Dublin, commenced his address to a very numerous audience by pointing out the difference be tween the courses pursued by the popular and Conservative parties in Ireland, from the period of the yrorogation of the last Parliament up to its dissolution. The Catholic party abstained from agitation ; the Protestant party embarked in it. There was no revival of the Trades' or Volunteers' Political Associations when the Coercion Act ceased to operate. There was, on the other hand, a Conservative meeting in the Irish metropolis immediately consequent upon the prorogation. There he took his stand against the calum niators of the people, and defied them to point out the slightest agitation in the political wave until the abrupt dismissal of the Melbourne Ministry.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Saurin had said in 1800, that " Agitation was the price paid for liberty." "We have paid the price (said Mr. O'Connell) and yet they have refused to give us the goods.—( Laughter.) The advice which Lord Anglesey had addressed to the oppo site party, " Agitate—agitate—agitate," was taken up with a vengeance, by the Conservatives; and the advice was echoed forth at Dublin, and at Hillsborough. Well, the Melbourne Ministry was sent out ; the Duke of Wellington became, not Prime Minister, but all the Ministry together,—cook, slut, and butler.—( Hear, and laughter.) The day was not far distant, when the iron duke would be brought to an account for this.— ( Cheers.) He (Mr. :O'C.) arraigned it as unconstitutional. The Lord-Lieutenant was in the theatre on Saturday night. He (Mr. O'Connell) could not trust himself with speaking upon that subject there ; he would, however, elsewhere. What placards with "No popery " inscribed on them, exhi bited in the presence of the Lord-Lieutenant—of a Minister of State ! What would be said if the Catholics were so to exhibit a placard with "No Protestantism !" inscribed on it. If any Catholic were rash enough to do so, he (Mr. O'C.) would he the first man to dash it out of his hands.—( Cheers.) Lord Kenmare had expressed himself in terms of great indig nation about the painting of the " death's- head and cross bones," of which he (Mr. O'Connell) had spoken some time since. It was amazing to what a degree it had shocked the sensibility of the Noble Lord and others. Lord Kenmare, however, and Jonathan David Latouche, who were so shocked at the painted emblem, reflected not that there was such a place as Rathcormac. They dwelt upon the image, and for got the reality.—Hear.) A jury of their countrymen had marked that transaction with the stigma of " murder ;" and hot-foot upon that follows a letter of approval from the Horse guards—as daring a violation of the sanctity of justice and and " free trial" as was within his recollection. Lord John Russell had officially announced the name of the new Speaker. That question would be decided on the forenoon of the 19th of February. There were two candidates, Sir C. M. Sutton and Mr. Abercromby; of the superiority of the latter there could not be a question. Sir C. M. Sutton had not the intellect nor the capacity to fill such an office. He was, besides, a violent partisan. Let every man, then, who did not scorn to be stigmatised with the name of a partisan, vote for Manners Sutton.—( Hear.) What were Mr. Abercromby's claims ? He was the son of the illustrious General Abercromby —of the man who, in 1797, strained every nerve to thwart the efforts of those who were fomenting rebellion ; he was sent out. of Ireland, because he was too warm a friend to that devoted couutry.—( Cheers.) What were Mr. Abercromby's claims on the Irish people ? He had ever been the consistent advocate of every liberal measure— he had voted against the Coercion Bill ; what more need he THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1835. say in his commendation ?—(Cheers.) The Irish Member who would not be in the House of Commons upon the first day of struggle, was an enemy to Ireland. They should be all there at least on the 17th. He would leave Dublin himself, with his family, on the 13th instant. The question of the Speakership would be a vital one. If the Ministry were beaten on it, must they not in decency at once resign ? And then what a scuttling out there would be of Irish rats ! The man who stayed at home, and would not on the 19th be found at his post, was a mean recreant from his principles. Let there be no plea of ill health ; if you are sick, then go to London the sooner. Now was the time for a union of all parties against the Tories. He would sink repeal, and everything, in order to accomplish the defeat of the Tories. With regard to repeal, he weuld say— " Durate et rebus vosmet servate secundis." " Peel and Wellington," concluded Mr. O'Connell, " I defy you. Liberty's in every blow.'" F.:s conversation, and endeavoured to get rid of him by increas g or slackening his pace occasionally, but in vain : his un welcome companion kept close to him until they got into Chis well-street, where the fellow at length showed himself what he was—a thief; but, instead of " stealing quietly out of his company," knocked him down and stole his watch. The villain was pursued by some of the police, but got off through some of the courts. He had something the air of a military man and wore mustachios, which, however, are believed to have been false. We have been informed that the late Earl of Port more requested that his two favourite carriage-horses should be shot as soon as his funeral obsequies had been performed, which was done accordingly after the funeral at Weybridge. Sheridan Knowles, it is stated in the last American Papers, has been invited to dine with the President at Wash ington, who treated the " Actor-Poet," as he is termed in America, with the most marked attention. _ Louis XII. used to dine at eight in the morning, but to please his fair young wife he put off his dinner until twelve; and instead of going to bed at six, he was tempted sometimes to sit up till midnight.—Mirror. A man, with a wife and family, hanged himself last week at Southampton, after having betted and lost his last shilling on a pigeon-shooting match. . - The term " coachmai," so reputable in England, is considered an affronting title in America, where " driver " is considered by far the genteeler expression. After all that has been said, and the preparations which have been made, we are given to understand that it re mains very doubtful whether their Majesties will inhabit the New Palace during the approaching season. — Morning Paper. [ - Hsi' LITIGATION.—At a Quarter Session for one half the county of Kerry, the civil causes entered for trial amounted to 1,476, and the criminal cases to 199. A set of splendid uniforms are preparing at one of the principal army-accoutrement makers at the West-end, for the Queen of Portugal's regiment of lancers. They will be ready in a fortnight. 'There-are 33 Catholics in the Irish division of the last Parliament; there are 32 in the present. Five of those who were in the last Parliament are out, and four new ones in. Those wlio are out are Messrs, Galwey, O'Reilly, Lalor, Lambert, and Blackney ; those who are in are Messrs. O'Loghlen; Brady, Bodkin, and Power. The loss to the tradesmen, &c., at the west-end of the town, by the non-residence of the Ambassadors, and their respectiVe suites, of France, Austria, and Russia, is calculated to be the fair and just profits on an expenditure of 150,000/. per annum. On Tuesday evening, a plantation on Twecdmouth Moor, the property of J. S. Donaldson, Esq., was discovered to be on fre ; and it is almost impossible to suppose that it could have occurred unless by the hand of an incendiary.— Berwick Advertiser. The new farcical melodramatic production, to be called Death and the Doctor, to be brought out shortly at Covent-garden, is by Peabe, the author of upwards of fifty dramas. On Thursday night, just before twelve, a fire was discovered bursting through the roof of a house adjoining Mr. Morrish's, cooper, in Tiverton, which raged uncontrolled, and was not got under until four houses in front and three behind were totally destroyed.— Western Luminary. We are authorised to say, that there is no founda tion for the report circulated in various newspapers, that the present Lord Advocate is to be elevated to the Bench, and that Lord Ramsay is to succeed him in the representation of Bute shire.—Courant. A GOOD LEAPER.—An Irish gentleman, well knows in the sporting circles of this neighbourhood for his wit, was accosted by a friend, with—" Upon my word, —, you are riding a good horse 1"—" And why should I not ride a good horse ?"—" Well," rejoined his friend, " but will he jump timber?"—" Timber !" replied the other, " Faith, he'll just jump over your head, man, in a jiffey." In the Dictum de Kenilworth, made in the fifty first year of the reign of Henry 111., there is the following curious clause :—" Knights and Squires, who are robbers, and among the principal robbers in war and plunderings, if they have ro lands, but have goods, shall pay half their goods for their redemption, and find sufficient surety henceforward to keep the peace of the King and kingdom." SHOOTING EXTRAORDINARY.—On Thursday last 83 bead of game, viz., 66 pheasants, 10 woodcocks, 3 hares, and 4 rabbits, were bagged at Mountstewart in the short space of three hours and a half by four gentlemen, Lord Castlereagh, Mr. Echlin, Mr. David Ker, and Mr. William Black wood. —Dublin Paper. A LONG LAWSUIT.—After a trial, which lasted eight successive days at Brussels, the Count Duval de Beau lieu has finally obtained a sentence in his favour, with all costs and expenses, against the commune of Moortzel, on account of his lady, the Countess de Toict. This extraordinary law suit commenced two hundred years ago, and related to the avenue of a country seat belonging to him at Moortzel, in the arrondissement of Antwerp, which the commune claimed as a public road. THE ECLIPSE STEAMER.—We are glad to find, by the following paragraph from a Liverpool Paper of Tues day, that the account of the loss of this steamer, copied from the Manx Paper, turns out to be untrue :—" The account which appeared in an Isle of Man Paper of the loss of the Eclipse steamer, with all her passengers and crew, is without foundation. The Eclipse arrived on Thursday last in the Clyde, and sailed on the following morning for Belfast." LEAPING.—On Saturday night last, two fellows, in a state of intoxication, undertook a bet of half-a-crown to jump into the arena of the Royal Amphitheatre from the front of the gallery ! The height is 32 feet. The one fell on the seats in the pit, two of which were broken, and was carried to the infirmary in a state of insensibility. The other lighted in the circle seemingly nothing worse, and made his exit by the pit.—Liverpool Chronicle. The public are cautioned against two or three well dressed foreigners, who have been for some time in the habit of soliciting relief in the streets, under the plea of having been disappointed of a remittance of money expected by them at the Post Office from Italy, on their way from that country to America. They are young men of respectable appearance and good address. One of them acts as spokesman to the rest, who pretend to speak nothing but Italian. The office, however, seems to be undertaken by turns, as the person from whoa this communication comes was accosted first by one of them, and a fortnight afterwards by another with the same story. It appears that others have met with the same im postors.—Morning Paper.

REDUCTION OF THE AUSTRIAN ARMY.—It has been affirmed for some days past that considerable reduc tions in the Imperial army are resolved upon. The army in Italy is to be placed on the peace establishment, and in all the regiments in general 40 men per company to be discharged, and the horses of the cavalry, artillery, and train, which may be spared in consequence of the reduction, will be sold. These reports, though not authenticated, are believed, and many facts seem to confirm them. They have had a favourable effect on our funds. —A//gemeine Zeitung, Jan. 30. REDUCTION OF THE PRUSSIAN ARMY.—The Journal of Arlon says, " The report of the reduction of the Prussian army is confirmed by several of the jour nals. We can answer for the correctness of the following facts :--At Luxemherg each company of infantry has been re duced ly seventy men ; of the two hundred lancers only four teen remain ; so that the garrison, which amounted to between six thousand and seven thousand men, is now reduced to four thousand. Thus the Prussians themselves no longer think an invasion of the province of Luxemberg possible." EXTRAORDINARY DROUGHT.—The inconveni ence felt so generally in other parts of the kingdom, from the long absence of rain, is seriously experienced in this and most towns and districts throughout the county ; even the marsh lands, over which the flood generally prevails to an unwelcome degree, apt the late and this season of the year, are no at ex hausted of their moisture, and the cattle in consequence ne cessarily driven, in many instances, a long distance to obtain water. The wells are almost everywhere dried up, and a large brewery n this town is compelled to get its water from the river; to-rents of rain, when it does come, may not unreason ably be expected, after so long,a suspension of wet weather. Tauntort Courier. Tho husband of one of my patients (says Dr. Ley, in a paper on the pathology of the nerves, in the Medical Gazelle), in' a sortie for the recovery of a superior officer who had been taken prisoner by the enemy, lost his leg by nearly the last shot which was fired at the conclusion of the Penin sular war. From some mechanical irritation, or more proba bly frc rn chronic inflammation or other diseased condition of the nerves of the stump, he is subject to such agonizing neu ralgic affection, with spasm of the remnant of his thigh, as, notwHistanding his natural cheerfulness and courageous bra very, almost to make him faint. He constantly complains of his otlending lcg and toes, which are buried in the south of France. Some persons attribute Lord Anglesey's dreadful attack s of the tic-doloureux to the some cause. THE GREAT FIREFLY.—Some years since, a Spanish lady had a m asquera d e d ress trimmed and ornamented with these splendid insects, and cicindelas, smaller, though not brilliant fire-flies, which emit scintillations while in the act of respiring. The effect of this costume was magnificent beyond description ; the lady had them placed within plaits of very fine net ; and not, as the author of " Six Months in the West Indies" insinuates, "strung through the middle, as children strin g cockchafers ; for, in fact, those insects are so very beau. tiful that I scarcely think the most cruel naturalist would have the heart to harm them. I, on one occasion, applied their lamps to some advantage. Being situated as an overseer on a plantation under the direction of a manager, who considered all reading and writing, save that ,vhich was necessary to keep the estate's journal, as idleness, I was obliged either to relin quish my stuclaes, or to prosecute them in secret. To ti:corn plish the latter (not being allowed candles) I proctored eight or ten fire-flies, which I secured in a tumbler, and fed them on small pieces of sugar-cane. I concealed them dur:, n the da, and a t ni g h t , w hil e I was supposed to be in bed. I made use y of my " inse c t l amp ," w hi c h afforded me stiff the smallest p r i u t. — M ont hl y Magazi .- . . e rt ht to reada THE CHURCH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As it is most likely the revenues of the Church will come under discussion in the ensuing Parliament, allow me to ask if the clergy, in making the late return of the incomes de rived from their Bishopries, Deanaries, Rectories, Vicarages, and Perpetual Livings, included the surplice-fees, Easter offerings, annual value of glebe lands and houses (some of which are mansions), and the enormous sums paid fer the hire of pews, as well as the Church rates, for the salaries of elerk, sexton, organist, singers, &c. &c.—for surely the whole ex pense of maintaining a " political" Church should have been specified. The rental of Pews alone would amount to a very large sum, and the system itself is a disgrace to a moral and Christian nation, as the English report themselves to be. An individual, for example, with a family, after having been as sessed enormously for the support of the Parson and the Church, is told after all, he cannot have a pew, unless he pays 51. or 61. a year besides for accommodation. Then what in the name of heaven is he " compelled" to pay tithe and as sessment for? Is it any wonder so many should dissent from .such a Church, where you are obliged to pay for the sump tuous and needlessly splendid support of your pastor. and.then be told " you now cannot attend divine worship unless you still pay a further sum for a sitting ?" There can be no doubt at all, if the whole of the revenues and expenses for the support of the Church (comprehending tithes, value of glebe lands and houses, salaries, church rates, surplice fees, Easter offerings, rental of pews, salaries and fees to clerks, sextons, organists, singers, &c.) were fully and fairly stated (not that I think they ever will be), the sum total would not fall short of six millions annually-1 speak, of course, of England and Ire land. Now, as out of the 23 millions of inhabitants of these two countries, there are certainly not more than seven mil lions of Churchmen, what an enormous amount this is to pay the clergy, when it is considered the remaining 16 millions, if they choose to attend divine worship at all, must tax them selves voluntuily to support their own Divines, as well as those of a Church they do not, and often times cannot, attend for want of accommodation. Such an injustice does not even exist in France. Even the Jewish Rabbies are pro vided for by the State, which nevertheless has a " political" religion also. If the present Government intend making a real and effi cient reform in the distribution of the Church property, and indeed its Government altogether, they will allow no Arch bishop to have more than 5,0001. a year. It is an ample remu neration for what this Prelate does, and quite sufficient to support him, as a teacher of the word of God, and a follower of Christ, should live. The Suffragan Bishops should have no more than 2,000/. a year. Rectors not more than 500/., nor less than 2001., according to the duties they hav e to perform. Curates 2001., nor less than 1501., according to their cure of souls. All should have a respectable house to live in, with (in the country) four or five acres of land attached to it—but not more, for otherwise the Parson will become a farmer, and neglect his flock for the cattle-market. Dignitaries (so called) of the Church, as " venerables" et hoc genus omne, as they have very little duty to perform, should not have more than rectors—their ecclesiastical dignity and title they might have as a make weight. But no clergyman, Mr. Editor, should le allowed to hold or be appointed to any civil ;ffice. At pre sent, one-third of the Magistrates are clergymen, and what kind of Magistrates do they make ? They are for the most part, severe, self-conceited, and wholly ignorant of their duties. They are mostly carried away by the impulse of sacerdotal consequence, and not unfrequently by local pre judice. A " venerable" in the west of England declared from the Bench some short time ago that Blackstone was no authority in law—he knew of no other than " Burn's Jus tice," and in the case of a ferryman threatening to com mit personal violence on one of his passengers, because he re monstrated with him for remaining twenty minutes before he pushed off, this reverend Sage said there was no law to re strain him—he might do the like again, and insult his pas sengers whenever he pleased. Now, while such men are al lowed to remain on the Bench, they are a disgrace to the name of Justice. In parishes, clerical Magistrates are fre quently firebrands ; instead of healing the dissensions of the parishioners, they do all they can to widen the breach, so that at last all parties shun them. This evil of appointing clergy men to be ma g istrates has been long complained of, and should be immediately taken into consideration by the present Admi nistration. In almost every parish, there are now gentlemen fully competent in every way to hold the Commission of the Peace, without having recourse to the clergy, who, if they do their duty, have quite enough to attend to and employ their time, without employing it on Justices' meetings, and pushing their noses into every quarrel of the neighbourhood. Whatever reform, Mr. Editor, the present Administration contemplate making in the Church, it should be a real and efficient one ; such a one, in fact, as will leave no grievance unredressed; for otherwise, it is not likely, in the present en lightened era, we shall slumber on our expectations, and allow them to be stifled by the mere semblance of a change.

CAMBRIDGE REFORM CLUB. CAMBRIDGE, JAN. s.—Thisspirited town has set an ex ample which is well worthy the imitation of every Reform constituency in England, to meet the careful manceuvering and long experienced tactics of the Tory faction, which is now trying its last struggle, in order to regain the power it has lost, by the efforts of the enlightened and persevering Reformers. The town of Cambridge has too long been the scene of the Rutland clubs, Corporation feasting, treating, cunt nzultis aliis ; but the Reform Club is based upon a system of independence and freedom which must put the "good old Tories" to the blush, inasmuch as the Reformers pay individually for their refreshments when assembled together, whereas the visitors of the late Rutland Clubs were not even informed, nor did they ever inquire, at whose expense they were feasting. Thrice have the Tories endeavoured to shake the independence of Cambridge, and as often have they been defeated ; and although the contest has crowned the brows of the Reformers with a wreath of victory and honour, still it is necessary for them to continue in a state of watchfulness ; and every elector who wishes well to his country, from the most influential and wealthy inhabitant, to the industrious ten pound freeholder, is compelled to unite and resist the attacks of the common enemy, who, though subdued for the present, is still on the alert, with all the insidious arts which craft and ingenuity can suirgest, in order to rally the Tory party by false hopes, or lull the Reformers into security, by exercising an apparent indifference, whilst at the same time every secret art is prac tised as before, to gain toe unthinking, the timid, or the unwary voters over to the Tory cause at an ensuing election. To use the words of the worthy Chairman of the late election committee, "the snake is scotched, not killed •" and its lurking sting must be therefore guarded against. In order to counteract the efforts of the Tories, the Reform Club has been established, at which the staunch Reformers meet alternately, in various parts of the town, to rally their friends round the old " buff and blue" standard, and keep the bond of union still rivetted more closely, if possible, than before, to prevent the innovation of the Tories, and at the same time to afford ample means for discussion, improvement, encouragement, or advice, as may be deemed necessary. Yesterday the members of the Club dined together at Mr. Free's, the sign of the Osborn Arms, where the leading gen tlemen of the late committee, together with a great number of the most important Reformers of the town, assembled ; and the addresses from several gentlemen wrre received with general satisfaction by a densely crowded room. Great anxiety is felt on the part of the 10/. householders to be pre sent at these meetings; and there is little doubt that the mode rate means required to visit them will show with what scorn the Tory system of feasting is treated by the independent Re formers. Meetings will continue to be held in other parts of the town, and a grand gala will be given in June, to celebrate the victory of the Right Hon. T. Spring Rice ever Sir Ed ward Sugden. When it is considered that the Tories have long been on the alert, while such Clubs as the one now esta blished at Cambridge would in a great measure have checked their career, it is hoped that the Reformers of other towns, who have with difficulty shaken off the Tory yoke, will follow this laudable example. MEETING AT HAMMERSMITH. During the last fortnight the parish of Hammersmith has been in a state of considerable excitement in consequence of the vestry having on the 22d ult. resolved, " That the making of a church rate be adjourned sine die." It being the first church rate proposed to be made since the separation of Ham mersmith from the parish of Fulham (of which it was for merly a hamlet) the churchwardens determined to call another vestry for the purpose of giving the whole of the inhabitants of the parish an opportunity of recording their opinions on the subject. Yesterday being the day fixed on for the meeting the inha bitants assembled at ten o'clock in the large room at the Lati mer School-house. Mr. Churchwarden SMITIS having been called to the chair, Mr. WATSON required that the church% arden should state what snm he would want before he (Mr. Watson) would con sent to grant him a church rate. Mr. MORRISON (the churchwarden) had given in an account of the amount required, a copy of which was in the hands of most gentlemen present. Mr. BOWLING would be quite satisfied if Mr. Morrison would state on his honour that the account was a correct statement of what he ought to pay before he went out of office. Mr. MORRISON declared that it was. Mr. Coot( moved the following resolution :—" That a Com mittee be appointed, consisting of eight of the parishioners, four Churchmen, and four Dissenters, who shall be empowered to inquire into the actual disbursements of the churchwardens in virtue of their office, and to devise the most effectual and unobjectionable plan of repaying them the same, as well as in demnifying them for any future justifiable liabilities." Mr. SHIRLEY seconded the resolution. Mr. BOWLING moved as an amendment, " That a church rate of 3d. in the pound be granted to the churchwardens, in discharge of all liabilities which may be due from the parish to Lady-day next, in the confident expectation that measures will be taken in the ensuing Session of Parliament to do away with this obnoxious impost, which will render any future ap plication of the kind unnecessary." Mr. Ross seconded it. After several gentlemen had addressed the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said the amendment was carried by a show of hands. Mr. BOWLING then demanded a poll, which was commenced immediately. At four o'clock, when it was closed for the day, the numbers were as follows :—For the rate, 89 ; against it, 98. The poll will open this day at 9, and finally close at four o'clock. s__ WEST HACKNEY REFORM DINNER. The friends of William Clay, Esq., and Dr. Lushington, the two Representatives of the Tower Hamlets, had a public dinner yesterday for the purpose of meeting the two Hon. Gentlemen, and to commemorate the triumph of Reform in the borough of the Tower Hamlets. The place of meeting was fixed for the Tyssen Arms Hotel and Tavern, an extensive and handsomely fitted-up house, which has lately been vastly improved, at Dalston. JOSEPH HUME, Esq., M. P., took the Chair at a little past five o'clock. He was supported on the right by Mr. CLAY, and on the left by Dr. LUSHINGTON. After the usual loyal toasts, &c., had been drank, The CHAIRMAN proposed " William Clay, Esq., and Dr. Lushington, the Members for the Tower Hamlets, and long life to them."—Drank with many cheers, and many a " One cheer more." Mr. CLAY said the last struggle had been a struggle of a faction. It was a struggle against men and not measures, and in it Englishmen saw there lay their only chance. It was the touchstone test to ascertain whether they were Tories or li beral men. The opponents of Reform had so masqueraded through the country—( Hear, hear)—they had all declared for Reform, and it was impossible to tell what they were ; but the application of the test had made every man, who was not a real Reformer, crest up in all the ugliness and shape of Toryism.—(Hear, hear.) He alluded to the difference of principle between the Whigs and the Tories, and said the latter party had taken their stand, and had stood up for the divine right of Kings. They had latterly abandoned that ab solute position—but still it had been the Tories who had ad vised his Majesty George 111. to declare war against his colo nies, that had separated America—it was the Tories who had advised the long and expensive war against the liberty of man kind that had terminated in France—it was the Tories who had refused emancipation to the Catholics or relief to the Dissenters in the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. But now they had all professed to fly from these principles. Until he was convinced by their acts that they hdd really given up these principles, he could not trust the present Govern ment. There should exist no Government that did not ema nate from the people. The Tories , had certainly gained by the election ; but it was one great consolation that there still ex isted a sufficient majority against them who were friends to the people. They must take the first opportunity of turning out the Tory faction. _ Dr. LUSIiINGTON said, in all his political career, which had been one of considerable standing, he had never known a crisis so important as the present ; and looking at the result of the elections, he did think there had never been a time when the people had entered more fully into the merits of the case, as it regarded the country. But he looked forward to the support of his constituents. He considered himself to be placed in that situation that be might be considered the look ing-glass of his constituents, and consequently his meeting with them that night was performing a double act, altogether making an act of friendship.—( Hear.) [Here we must for want of space, omit in detail the sentiments of as decisive and as gratifying a speech to Reformers as we ever listened to. The Learned Doctor expressed, in unqualified terms, his re spect for the existing institutions ; but if they could be made to answer the same purpose, at one shilling less expense, be would consider it as if the institution was not fully implemented for the benefit of the people.] A POLITICAL FOOTPAD.—Mr. Cunningham, a master boot-maker, in a respectable way of business, was robbed lately under rather singular circumstances. He had been passing the evening with some friends at Whitechapel, and about eleven o'clock was Oil his way home to his residence in St. Luke's parish, when a stranger obtruded himself into his company, and entered into conversation upon various mat ters, particularly the. late changes of the Administration and the consequent general election. The stranger professed him self an inveterate enemy to Tory principles, and inveighed bitterly against Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington, more particularly against the latter, whom he accused of va rious delinquencies in his capacity of Commander-in-Chief and as Premier. He declaimed so vehemently upon these matters that Mr. Cunningham was completely disgusted with DEPARTURES. The Earl of Stair, from Seymour-place, Curzon-street, for the Continent ; the Hon.

The few bets made yesterday were, as usual, driven off to the last moment, and taken altogether, were neither heavy in amount nor important in their results. There certainly was a slight decline in Lord Jersey's Silenus, and a trifling amount in the Bee-in-a-Bonnet colt, but, as we have before intimated, the afternoon's business pos sessed little interest.
