The Sun. — London, England, 1835-06-09 00:00:00

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 9, 1835_1_, SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Ve were prepared for the cavilling in the Tory Papers .at the suffrage in the Municipal Reform mea sure. If the franchise had been fixed at 101., as in the Reform Bill, we should then have been told that the object of Lord John Russell was to sever all con nect'on between the poor and the rich. This, in fact, was the objection to the 101. franchise in the Reform Bill dishonestly urged by Sir Robert Peel, who was eculiarly eloquent on the evil of drawing invidious distinctions between different classes of contributors to the State. We are beholden to the Courier for a seasonable quotation from a speech of the Right Hon. Baronet in 1831, on the introduction of the Reform Bil;, in which this objection to the 101. franchise was strongly urged. " Why," said Sir Robert, " confine the privilege of voting to those who rent a house rated at 101. a-year The law knows no distinction in this respect bet , ,veee the contributors to the State. Yet the Noble Lord not only refuses the right of vo tin,?; to persons rated at less than 101., but lie also dis fra::chises many who contribute to the public taxes, and who no‘f possess the privilege of suffrage. I con ceive the Noble Lord's plan to be founded altogether upon an erroneous principle. The great defect, in my opinion, is that to which an objection has been urged with great force and ability by the Hon. Member for Cellington. The objection is this : that it severs all connection between the lower classes of the community and the direct representative in this House ; and that I think a fatal objection—that it should be proposed in these times that every link berween the representative and constituent body should be separated, as regarded the lower classes. I think it an immense advantage, that there is at present no class of people, however humble, which is not entitled to a voice in the election of representatives." The anxiety of the Right Ho nourable Baronet for the preservation of the connection between the poor and the rich, in the case of the Par liamentary franchise, is sufficiently obvious. Where the object at stake was nothing less than the spoil of a great nation, it was conceived that the poverty of the voters would render the corruption of them more easy. The Right Hon. Baronet did not, of course, wish to sever from the constituencies the class of voters which bad all along been the great instrument of the Bo mighmongers. The system of virtual representation, or Boroughmongering, was founded on purchasing, with the spoil of the whole nation, the votes of the cessitous portion of it, possessed of the franchise. The interest of the electors in the welfare of the cc untry was too slender to render them proof against the bribes offered them by those who wished to plunder their fellow-citizens. But in the case of the municipal franchise there does not exist the same motive for ex cluding the humbler class of citizens. There is a wide difference between returning a representa tive to assist in controlling the expenditure of a great empire, and returning a member of a Muni cipal Council to impose burdens to a limited amount for local purposes. The temptation to abuse in this case is reduced to its minimum. The far greater part of the burden raised throughout the country for the maintenance of the poor is under the controul, not of councils elected by rate-payers, bitt of the whole body of rate-payers. We are aware that great abuses prevailed, and still prevail, under this system. A may be the owner of the whole land of a parish, and B, the owner of the tithes, and C, D, E, and the rest of the alphabet, may have a deeper interest in expending heavy rates levied on A and B, than in the economical management of the parish. But under the Municipal Reform Bill, the power to tax will in the first place be limited, and in the next place there is a wide difference between giving the power to tax to an open vestry, or a common,hall, con sisting of all the burgesses, and giving it to a council elected by all the inhabitant burgesses. The Standard throws the Common Council of the City of London in our teeth. " Beyond all comparison (says our Evening Contemporary), the most corrupt body in the kingdom is, according to Mr. Henry Hunt and Mr. Cobbett, the popular Common Council of - London ; and we need cite no authorities to show that the Common Council no more repre sents the citizens of London of any definite class, or of all classes together, than it represents the population of Pekin. We are not aware that the Common Council of the richest city in the world con tains one man of eminent wealth." The city of Lon don is not a case in point, because the Common Council exemplifies the evil of virtual representation, which leads necessarily to abuse. The city of London a very small fraction of the metropolis, has the power, from its command of the river, to tax the two millions of inhabitants of the valley of the Thames. There are comparatively few rich men living within the bounds of the city. The Corporation of London is, therefore, altogether, an anomaly. If the Com mon Council had no other money :at its disposal than what was raised by a tax on the inhabitant house holders, we suspect there would be a good deal less feasting and hospitality than there is now. We may see from the sort of objections urged against the mea sure, that notwithstanding the apparent acquiescence of Sir Robert Peel, the Tories have not renounced the hope of being able to damage the Bill by mutilating its most essential provisions. It is not without reason that we have all along warned the sincere friends of Corporation Reform not to put any faith in the pro fessions of their political opponents. The Tories indeed are too shrewd to repeat their capital error on the Reform Bills in 1831, of open opposition to the will of the people ; but assuredly in Committee on the Corporation Bill they will do their utmost to destroy its efficiency. Indeed, from the rumours abroad of a split in the Tory party, it is extremely doubtful whether Sir Robert Peel will even have personal influence suf ficient to prevent a division on the second reading. If the ex-Premier had possessed sufficient courage, he w nild have demonstrated his excessive zeal in favour of Municipal Reform during his short Ministerial career ; but he feared, and perhaps justly, the ultra- Tories imposed upon him by untoward circumstances. It is no secret that the " Conservatives" vehemently i‘ , eiounce the speech of Sir Robert Peel on Friday lit, and that the self-elect corporators consider them selves shamefully-treated by those who used them as political tools. We are not disposed further to comment on these civil dissensions. The great subject of political discussion is not the defects of our present Municipal in ititutions, or the manifold sins of the Corporators, but the value of the bold, and almost unexceptionable, sebeine of reform projected by Ministers. This admi rel.& measure is best displayed in contrast with the ex isting system. A uniform plan of municipal organi zation will supersede the present anomalous constitu tion of the Corporations. The self-elect will be superseded by municipal officers popularly and periodi cally chosen. A cumbrous machinery will give place to a simple and practical form of local government. Property hitherto treated as private is declared to be public. Charities prostituted to party objects will be henceforth honestly administered. Justice will be dis pensed by magistrates in effect popularly chosen, and net, as hitherto, taken from one i - party in the commu nity. Irresponsibility will be terminated by the principles of representation and publicity. Property will be secured by the conservation of the peace, and by improved civil jurisdictions: the encourage ment of education, and the improvement of the local tribunals of the Corporations, must tend to promote order and prevent crime. But the Tories will despise all these results, anxious only to suc ceed in restricting the power of the people. 'We contend that Municipal Reform is based on the prin ciple of popular representation, and can be effected in no other mode. The Tory journals teem with tirades against the projected municipal franchise, and denounce the alieimportant principle of periodical election. Sir Robert leoel having discreetly admitted the necessity of Reform, they cannot with decency indulge in the unlimited opposition to the measure for which they were preparing last week. We shall to-morrow advert more particularly to the objections of our Tory con temporaries. We shall merely at present observe that a great advance is evidently made, when even an apos tate journal, which has gone such great lengths in op position to popular rights, cannot screw up its courage to the unqualified vindication of corrupt Corporations. It is extremely amusing to, observe our Conservative AO nteniporaries now busied in discussing the principles of Municipal Reform, when, till last week, they Openly *flied the necessity of any legislative measure. If they were blind to the existence of the defects of the system, they cannot be very well qualified to prescribe for their remedy ; if they dishonestly denied the evils of the system, their recommendations ought to be re ceived with great distrust.—Morning Chronicle. We cannot withhold a second notice of Lord Brougham's vagaries at his Almshouse dinner on Sa turday, nor a sigh that we were absent ; the loss of a handkerchief and the purification of our apparel would have been amply compensated by the exhibition. Most animals we know are particularly animated at feeding time ; and Lord Brougham and his Radical gang appear to have screamed and cut antics in a style which cannot but have a most serious effect on the re ceipts of the menagerie's exhibited about Whitsuntide. Our chief reason for recurring to his Lordship's per formance is some curious remarks made by him rela tive to the prospects of the Ministry. He says "There never was a Government moro confessedly in need of popular aid than the present ;" that is, less able to stand by itself. He continues—" They have against them a formidable majority in the House of Lords." Popular aid will not reduce that, whatever physical aid might do. " A powerful Opposition in the House of Commons, amounting to nearly half representation, and, what was worse, an Opposition composed of a resolute and compact body, while their own party is split into half-a-dozen sections." Whose fault now ? This is the result of the Reform Bill, which his Lordship so enthusiastically lauded in his opening ; and yet popular aid is still necessary to check the Conservatism of the ten-pounders. " Oh, 'tis sport to see the engineer hoist with his own petard." Then there are some ominous allusions to kicking out, betraying the people, and seeking to fawn on the Court which we do not exactly understand ; and all is summed up with the reiteration that the support of the people is the breath of their (the Ministers') nostrils. Now, whether these home thrusts have been bestowed in consequence of any little spite which the ex-Chan cellor may feel for being so completely and irreme diably shelved, or whether they were delivered at an advanced period of the evening, we are unable to say. But, be that as it may, we recommend the considera tion of them to Lord Melbourne. And now a word as to the object of the meeting. The Reform Alms houses, which are most appropriately situated near that large Reform House, the House of Correction at Brix ton, is a pet project of some of the members of the Corporation, or, to use a synonym, a barefaced job, placing the patronage of the six or eight huts in the hands of a Committee of Common Councilmen, to promote their own elections. The principal movers in the business have been a Mr. 'Weston, who, we hear, is really very respectable person, though rather rabid in politics, and a Mr. Shoobridge, a dealer in ready-made trowsers and jackets for little boys, who has been used rather scurvily in not having an office made for him. Lord Brougham is reported to have said that his exertions deserved a Gazette to himself, like Lord Nelson, when the worthy Common Councilman is reported to have replied that he was perfectly satisfied with the space hitherto allotted to him in that publication. The Secretary, a paid one, is a person of the name of Ledger, formerly a Com mon Councilman, an office which he vacated in conse quence of a written promise, now in his possession, from Lord Brougham, when the Bankruptcy Court was only in embryo, to make him an Official Assignee, which, of course, he is not and never will be. But where was " our dear friend Banquo, whom we miss ?" Where was the President of this precious concern, Sir John Key, Lord Brougham's protege, arid Lord Grey's patron ; the father of the two-in-one Kingsmill Grove, whilom storekeeper of his Majesty's sta tionery ? Surely he was fit for that company ! Surely the Radicals were not too haughty to produce their President in public. " Where was County Guy ?" and echo answers " Where 1" The fact is, that the twice Lord Mayor was present, to the great consternation of the company and the dismay of Lord Brougham, but he was not allowed to speak, or take any part in the proceedings. 111-used man 1 Ruthless Radi cals ! The list of subscriptions was a lie, if it purported that they were given at the dinner. They were given when the ground was purchased, the owners hinting in the most delicate way, as they had to deal with Whigs and Radicals, the cash must be forthcoming before anything final was settled. And now one other word to Lord Brougham at parting. If his Lordship wishes to place himself favourably before the public by means of charity dinners, to be attended by Radicals, let him take our words for it, he will very soon be as completely left alone in his glory as he is in the House of Peers. The charity of Radicals begins at home, and, what is more, stays at home. None are so willing to be liberal in sentiment, or at other people's expense, but not a stiver of their own is to be got. For instance, the gift to this job of 1,5001. from the Corporation, which we hesitate not to say is a daring misappropriation of the city funds. But we have done. The only professional people present on this important occasion, besides Messrs. Fitzwilliam, O'Connell, Solly, and Lord Brougham, were tMessrs. Crawford and Patteson ; and, notwithstanding he heat of the weather, there was no particular disturbance. We have not referred to the police reports, but the inspectors at the neighbouring s tation-houses say that there was no great influx--con sidering.---Morning Post. A lively wag, called a Zany, was in former times an indispensable part of a great man's retinue. But though a Lord Mayor himself now-a-days usually con descends to be his own jester, there are other Lords who crack their jokes by proxy, and sport " the mot ley" on other shoulders than their own. Thus it is that our facetious friend of the Chronicle puts on the cap-and-bells for Lord Palmerston , and jingles them with that fantastic vivacity which shows that in such a service he is quite at home. Strange that the most solemn of diplomatists should select the wildest of mad caps to play his antics before him in the intervals of those labours which have shed on himself and his country the immortal glory of the protocols I If, indeed, immortality should not attend those voluminous productions with which the " rejected of Hampshire" has illuminated the diplomatic world, it will not have been our fault, for those who are most anxious for his Lordship's reputation must admit that we have done all in our power to obtain for them a lasting celebrity. Equally zealous were our efforts to obtain for the Russian-Dutch loan job its imperishable record in the history of the illustrious achievements of England's Statesmen. Yet we must tell Lord Palmerston's jester that though this job put the Russian Autocrat in good humour for a time, it was no joke to unfortu nate Poland ; nor indeed was it any laughing matter to Great Britain, from whose coffers some millions of gold were extracted to supply the Herod of the North with the " sinews of war, at the critical moment when it was a question whether he had the means of bring ing up fresh hordes of barbarians, to supply the waste made in the ranks of beaten armies by the sword of Polish heroism. We admit that Lord Palmerston's protocols, and his no less famous " demonstration" of an Anglo-Gallic fleet to the North Seas in the month of November, wete very amusing jokes to the phlegmatic Dutchmen. But they were jokes for which this country paid dearly both in character and purse. It was during those protocol labours and demonstrations in the Netherlands that Russia achieved that " secret treaty " with the Sultan, which we communicated to the public before Lord Pal merston was aware of its existence. At least he thought it expedient to plead ignorance when ques tioned about it in the House of Commons. If that be another Palmerston joke, it is one at which we are sure even the sullen Nicholas will condescend to smile, even on the principle that " he may well laugh who wins." All the grave jokes of Lord Palmerston who can tell ? The Chronicle, and the Evening organ of the great diplomatist had a standing one in their co lumns for three or four years. It was the " speedy and final settlement" between Holland and Belgium. That is a subject upon which our friend in the cap and-bells may disport himself most appropriately, for never was there a more comical farce than the " speedy and final settlement" enacted upon any stage. It is true, a one-act tragedy, called the " Siege of Antwerp" was interposed, but that only to heighten, by contrast., the ludicrous character of the other performances which followed those scenes of amicable slaughter which his Lordship so facetiously called the " peaceful , war." Our facetious friend is at liberty, in his vocation to fling at us the heaviest of his jokes, provided he does not too outrageously sacrifice the truth to turn a face tious period. For instance, he represents us as being cruel and unfeeling enough to charge Lord Palmerston with spoiling the appetite of the King of Holland by a protocol, and causing the Emperor of Austria a ner vous fit by a despatch 1 We should indeed have been hardened and shameless offenders against truth if we were capable of making any such assertions. Alack a-day I Neither a protocol nor a despatch of the " juvenile Whig" of the Foreign Office ever excited in King, Emperor, or Statesman, any other feeling except contempt—any other strong emotion than that of laughter. We should as soon suspect " purity of principle' and " freedom of election" in the Tiverton job, as a discomposure of the nerves, or loss of appe tite of any of our allies or enemies, by any diplomatic or other demonstration of Lord Palmerston. Surely, in this instance, the bearer of the cap and bells carries the joke too far I—Morning Herald. The party tone and character which it seemed the purpose of Lord John Russell to communicate to the debate on municipal reform, by the unfair illustrations of the necessity for such a measure which his Lordship resorted to in the course of his introductory speech, would have produced incalculable public mischief, had Sir Robert Peel met the provocations offered to him in a less generous and patriotic spirit, or regarded the question as one which concerned Whig and Conserva tive only. With whatever dexterity the framers of the bill have endeavoured to evade the imputation that it was really destined to promote no other than factious in terests, every one who has read their journals for some weeks past, their boastings and swellings, and trumpet ings of speedy triumph, must have remarked that the true excellence of this much-bruited measure lay more, according to their estimation, in the fierce hostility which they reckoned on its immediately calling forth from the Conservatives, than in any benefit that it would be fitted to confer upon the body of the people. Here,' they cried " we take our stand '—" corporate reform is the ground we shall occupy—this shall be our field of battle"—this shall constitute in the eyes of the peo ple of England the one simple intelligible barrier be tween us, " the Melbourne Ministers," and the Tories, the traditional enemies of everything under the name of Reform. Indiscreet as was such tell-tale gossipping, disgraceful to the scheming policy of the party, and big with frustration of the very design which it an nounced, it was repeated from day to day by their ser vile newspapers, which one and all exulted in the total overthrow of the Conservative party at the next election, by virtue of this inestimable Bill—as if the honest part of the English people felt no other interest in any great amendment of the Constitution, but for its ten dency to keep the Whig-Radicals and their partisans in office. The proceedings of Friday last, however, were death to this magnificent manoeuvre. Had Lord John Russell's speech stood alone, to produce upon the House its own undisturbed impression, the thing, would even then have been a signal failure. His Lord ship was but languidly listened to by his audience— and the disappointment of the whole Ministerial phalanx was stamped upon every Whig countenance that ventured to raise its eyes from the floor. But the calm and frank demeanour of Sir Robert Peel was fatal. So far from a panegyric upon the old Corpo rations, the Conservative leader admitted, nay, in sisted, that those bodies were no longer efficient to their original ends ; that the time was come when they ought to be reformed, and placed upon a footing of responsibility and popular control ; in fact, the objec tions of the Right Hon. Baronet were rather thrown out hypothetically than dwelt upon, and went rather to considerations of practical convenience than to the principles or general objects of the measure. Satis factory as this easy and temperate course must have proved, and has proved, to the great independent body of constitutional Reformers, there are others to whom a dose of wormwood would have been less un palateable. The soreness of the Whig-Radical organs was manifest the very next morning, and yester• terday they writhed under it in mortal agony. Cun ning, and want of principle, and abandonment of all his old prepossessions, and sacrifice of every thing to the possibility of once more obtaining office,—these reproaches were each in succession flung at him. It was cruel of you, Sir Robert, to turn Corporate Re former on our hands, to filch our bread from us, to cut away the ground from us, our " chosen ground," our " field of battle," to force your undesired services upon us, to hoist us with our own petard, long loaded to the muzzle, and with the ruins of the citadel, which we hoped to garrison alone, fill up the gulf which, we had flattered ourselves, would be placed for ever between you and us, between us on the Trea sury Bench, and you Conservatives in Opposition 1 The Whig. Radicals will never get over this back handed blow. They will have nothing left to fight about (save and except in their extremity they all turn repealers), nothing but details, about which it must be no easy matter to raise a national feeling in their own favour, with the knowledge and public spirit of such a statesman as Sir Robert Peel kept playing upon them, and blazoning to all the world their inferiority in both. With regard to the working of those portions of the Bill which have as yet been but little touched upon, there seems no small amount of questionable matter. Considering what description of persons are made eli gible for burgesses, and that out of such burgesses a mayor, with magisterial powers, and with the authority of returning officer (however high may be the temperature of political party) is to be chosen would it not be worth some thought, whether an oratorical shoemaker, tailor, blacksmith, or tripe seller, one and all most respectable in their several callings, but equally and entirely, as it is fair to pre sume, ignorant of the first rudiments of legal or political knowledge, though still indebted for a certain party in fluence to their eagerness and vehemence in local fac. tions,—would it not, we say, be worth while to think a little whether such honest fellows would make the very most competent Mayors, or the most impartial Returning-officers ? The question then comes whe ther some sort of property qualification, equal, or at least analogous, to that of Justice of the Peace, might not be rendered a useful test of the eligibility of a Chief Magistrate ? It is at least a question. Then, again, are populous bodies the best possible nomina tors or directors of a police ? Look at the stubborn stand which was made by the parochial bodies of the metropolis against the establishment of that most efficient and valuable institution, the Police, at last organized by Sir Robert Peel, and in favour of the reverend crew of watchmen, for the mere sake of a wretched patronage which had long been so vil lainously exercised. Is that spirit confined, does Lord John Russell think, to London ? And would b tu i e t e c t a i t town th police m f o or sp t e b o e ie s enotfi reorganization' through which it is managed here, under the chief command, doubtless, of, the local magistracy? Had an effective police existed either at Wolverhampton or at Bristol, the country would have been spared some pain ful scenes. The direct financial concerns of the town or borough ought properly to be under the control of those by whom the expenditure is defrayed ; but this has nothing to do with the charitable funds, which will be, as they ever have been, corruptly and disgracefully perverted, where numbers, including party, are autho rized to dispose of them. This question of the admi nistration of public charities is large as well as difficult, but it cannot be left as the present Bill proposes. Re specting ale-house licenses, we apprehend that from a bench of magistrates to a mob of voters would be a descent from bad to worse. This likewise must be carefully reviewed and adjusted by Parliament.—Times. FEMALE FIGHTERS.—TWO women were on Friday brought before the Magistrates at Union Hall, charged with fighting in the streets and causing a crowd to assemble. The policeman who apprehended the pugilistic fair ones stated, that he found them "pegging away at each other in the New Cut." The dispute, it appeared, originated because one of the women had "most unproperly made use of the other's husband." The most refractory of the two was committed to the House of Correction, and the other was discharged. An instance of somnambulism occurred on Saturday night, when a shipwright, belong to his Majesty's Dockyard, dreamt that he was at work on board ship, and in his over-zeal for the service, actually lifted the sash of the window and went out, conceiving that he was going out of the porthole of the vessel into the stage usually erected when thus employed. After hanging by his hands from the sill of the window for a short time, and finding he could gain no footing, he let go, and fell a distance of twelve or fourteen feet, very severely cutting his head, and considerably bruising himself.-,..Devon port Independent.

SUGAR.—The estimated purchases of West India Muscova does last week were 3,000 hhds. and trs. ; there was not the slightest alteration in the prices. There were no West India Muscovadoes on show this day ; the sales are nearly equal to she landings, and the market continues to have a very firm appearance, the arrivais are fully as late as we anticipated, they are fully a month later than last season, and the reports are that the quantity will be less than what has been generally ex pected. The stock of West India is now 17,473 hhds. and trs., being 415 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius 110,098 bags, being 26,196 more than last year. The deli very of West India 2,691 }Aids. and trs., being 720 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius 8,293 bags, being 1,608 more than the corresponding week of 1834. In Refined there was no variation last week, the quantity on sale was still in considerable, and the few purchases made were at the extreme prices 755. 6d. and 765., for the long price, 355. and 345. 9d. for the short price. There is no business to report this after noon in Refined Goods, on account of the holiday. MAURITIUS.—There was no alteration in Mauritias Sugars last week, the former prices were firmly maintained. WEST INDIA.—The sales of East India Sugar were exten sive last week, they were about 11,000 bags, of which the great proportion was Manilla, which sold in some instances 6d. per cwt. higher, mid. to fine brown 245. 6d. a 275., good brown to mid. grey Java 245. 6d. a 275. 6d. damp, mid. white Siam 275. 6d. a 295. FOREIGN.—There were no sales of Foreign Sugar reported last week. Average price of Sugar 11. 10s. tad. per cwt. COFFEE.—There was no alteration in British Plantation Coffee last week, the ordinary to fine ordinary for the home consumption were in great request at full prices, and the finer qualities were also enquired after. In Foreign the only sale was a cargo of St. Domingo at 535. for Hamburg. The only alteration in East India Coffee was a further advance of 25., in Ceylon Coffee ord. sold at 515., good ord. 60s. a 625. This day there was only one public sale of Coffee : in the market there are great speculations as to East India Coffee coming more into demand for home consompti on , b y th e ex pected reductionin the duty, of which there is much con fidence that this event will be announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in bringing forward his budget, which is looked for next week, the sales are chiefly in Sumatra and Ceylon Coffee, the latter of good quality has been sold at 635., the former 445. a 475. By public sale this day 34 bales Mocha sold at full market prices, 70 bags Demerera at previous rates. COCOA.—There is no alteration in Cocoa. The Govern ment contract for 50 tons attrrct some attention. The town of Wimborne, in Dorsetslaire, was all astir by the elopement of Miss Barrett with a Mr. Stevens on Wednesday evening last. A loving swain expected to be blessed with the lovely fair on Whit Tuesday, as the necessary arrangements were being made for that purpose. A FORTUNE-HUNTER AT SCARBOROUGH.—A person of gentlemanly appearance and address, who seemed to be about twenty-six years of age, favoured this fashionable watering-place with a visit towards the close of last season, and with surprising aptitude gained an introduction into the first circles. He came from the North by the steam-packet, and established head-quarters at Mr. Hooper's, the Bell Inn, where he remained nearly three weeks. He then fixed on lodgings of no ordinary respectability, in Huntriss-row. He represented himself as J. 11—, Esq., arid the son of a large landed proprietor in Roxburghshire, in Scotland, who was an intimate acquaintance of the Duke of Buccleuch. His father, he said, allowed him 5001. a year. He attended the billiard rooms during the winter evenings—spoke loudly of his con nections and respectability—and introduced himself to different gentlemen, and, from his liberal conduct, gained several ac quaintance. Being furnished with a genteel figure and neat address, he turned his attention to the female world, and in the warmth of vanity and pride, purposed the possession of riches and beauty united. To secure this object he wrote se veral letters to different ladies of fortune, offering terms of matrimony, but all ended in defeat and disappointment. At last, however, he became acquainted with the daughter of a respectable ship-owner, who sanctioned his approaches, and associated with him. The amorous Caledonian soon became tired of love and turned his attention to marriage; and never doubting but that the lady's father, although at first displeased with a clandestine marriage, would soon become reconciled to the merits and prospects of himself, without any stipulations as to jointure or settlement, pin money, or other minor affairs, the nuptials were celebrated in the gloomy month of March, at St. Mary's Church, by the Rev. Mr. Miller, the vicar. The father, hearing of the circumstance, hastened to the church to stay the proceedings, but he was too late. The next day the newly-married pair were invited to her father's house, and the old gentleman became strongly attached to his son-in-law, who talked much of his family and friends, and the large estates his father enjoyed. But he required the trifling suf. a 1501. for some purpose or other, which, of course, was immediately granted, and the happy pair went to Liverpool to visit a rela tive. He then proceeded to the Isle of Man, and purchased horses, which were forwarded to Scarborough for sale, but no one seemed inclined to purchase horses of that breed•. He then took stables at Bridlington, and the Roxburgh gentleman then let out haek-horses ; but fortune sunk him still lower— his horses were sold by the hammer, and he returned to Scar borough, delivered over his lady to her parents, and went in search of a living I SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
