In the cottage of an elector we had produced to us, by the wife of the elector, Mrs. —, a canvassing card of Captain I)undas',l on the back of which was written, " Mr. Butler votes for Mr. Palmer, Mr. Pussey, and Mr. Dtificlas:" ' AldermauLsos was of opinion that the Court were bound to pass a vote of censure upon his Lordship for having treated his brother Magistrates with indignity, and observed that the peace of the city was much safer in the hands of the Police Committee than in such hands as his Lordship's. [The Lord Mayor, we understand, persisted in declaring that the Committee bad impertinently interfered with his pre rogative, and said that he never would pern:it any inter ference of the kind.

This is, above all others, a contest of principle. It is at the Present E lection that this contest must be decided.

GINTLIMEN, A s it appears that an immedi a t e di s s o lution o f Parliament is now expected, I beg leave to intimate to you, that it is my intention, in that event, again to tender my humble services as one of yoiii representatives for this City. Having, byyour faiour and confidence, had the honour of serving you in that capacity during two long and important sessions, it cannot, I presume, now be necessary for me to offer any very de tailed p ro f ess i on of my political principles, the votes I have given On the several momentous questions which were brought ander the consideration of Parliament affording the clearest and most un nuivocal illustration of them ; they will be found, I believe, to be In perfect accordance with the declaration I made when, upon a requisition most numerously and respectably signed, and embracing sill the leading commercial interests of the City, I was encouraged for the first time to solicit the honour of your suffrages. I need hardly, therefore, repeat, that I entertain a sincere desire to correct, repair, and improve our venerated institutions, civil and ecclesiastical, as the best and surest means of preserving them, but that I shall never cease to oppose those schemes of speculative inno l'atlon, which, if acted upon, would inevitably lead to their ultimate and total subversion. Although warmly attached to the Church of England, I have a lways been a sincere friend to religious toleration, and anxious to s?!remove every just and reasonable ground of complaint on the part our Dissenting fellow subjects, arising from any restrictions or disabilities which they may labour under in the conscientious exer cise of their religious opinion,. To all subjects connected with the commercial, colonial, and ma ritime interests of the country, and of this City in particular, I have gives, and shall continue tobestow, unremitting attention, in order t 0 promote their extension and improvement ; in proof of which, I ho pe I may, withor.c presumption, advert to the important measure for the benefit of, merchant-seamen, which I had the satisfaction to °riginate and, carry through the last Session of Parliament, not withstandin.g the opposition it met with on the part of Government. kadverting to the recent change in his Majesty's Councils, I linistry ,• .?•ll not quempt to prejudge the conduct or policy of the new I may, however, be allowed frankly to state, that looking N' l mpar;:ially at the talents, experience, and character of the en atened statesman who is called to preside over it, and of his il iustrious colleague, to whom has been intrusted our Foreign Rela tion 3, I entertain a sanguine expectation that the affairs of this kingdom will, under their auspices, be efficiently administered at home, and its influence, character, and interests firmly maintained and upheld in foreign countries. At any rate, I feel assured that dispassionate men of all parties will concur with me in thinking that we are hound in fairness, and as loyal subjects to our Sovereign, to give to his Ministers (chosen under circumstances of almost unparalleled difficulty) that which alone they ask---" a fair trial." I am, however, well aware that these are times in which we are called upon rather to look to measures and principles, than to the • party or individuals from whom they emanate ; and you may rest assured, that a s I was not a • factious opponent of th e l ast, so ne i ther all I be found a servile or indiscriminate supporter of the present or any other Administration. tlconclusion, Gentlemen, I have only to add, that should I, l rottgh o pp ur continued confidence and suort be ain laced n highly honourable situation o f one of your , Rep ag resenta p i tives, I 4wm, in strict conformity with the principles I have avowed, endea tir, as I h ave h i therto done, diligently and faithfully to di sc h a rge important duties.

THE COMMITTEE for conductin , g, the ELEC TION of Mr. LYALL, Mr. WARD, and Mr. WIL SON, are desirous of stating to their brother Electors, the grounds On which they solicit tileif §tippdit rtir those Gentlemen at the ap preaching llfiction. It appears to them that the Constitution of this country is placed in a position of considerable, danger. The King has lately exercised the prerogativ6 ibitli it iicli lie is invested by the Constaption; Nf Zli'd'osing his Ministers, and what is the marine+. 111 Which this act on the part of his Majesty has been re etiVed ? The people are told by our opponents, that it is their duty to return to the Commons House of Parliament Members who will give to the measures , tvhie,t they. , Mininerg I+l4 a cafes titd Consideration—but an uncompromising opposition. If this attempt be successful, where is the value of the King's prero gative ? If in this manner one of the elements of the Constitution be nullified, which is next to be sacrificed ? Where is this course of disorganization to stop ? • • And oil Whit ground is it that this unconstitutional opposition is threatened? Is it that the King has appointed incompetent or cor rupt Ministers to conduct the Government ? Is Sir Robert Peel, as Prime Minister, less competent than Lord Melbourne? Is the Duke of Wellingt on l ees able EU thit nekociation s o f the &lie than Lord Palmerston ? Is Lord Lyndhurst a less able Chancellor than Lord Brougham ? Is Mr. Alexander Baring less acquainted with the commercial interests of the country than Mr. Poulett Thomson? Where, then, has the nation sustained injury by the appointments? But it is alleged that these distinguished persons are enemies to the Reform Bill. The Reform Bill, however, has been passed. It is part of the law of the land. Not only, is it out of, the power of the Government to diger). it, hilt 1116 GoVeiiinient has declared, through RI head, in terms as plain as the'English language can a - - ferd, that they " consider the Reform Bill a final and irrevocalle settlement of a great constitutional question—a settlement which no friend to the peace and welfare of the country would attempt to dis turb, either by indirect or by insidious means." The cry of Anti-fermi it I mere delusion. There is no such spirit in the Government. Who was more steady, practical, solid Reformer than Sir Robert Peel when he was in power before ? Look at the measures which, as Home Minister, he brought for ward, one after the other, as fast as he could mature them—all of real, substantial usefulness. Who is so capable as such a man of effecting whatever further reforms eno a ell dr ( 1 0eltisik,tioli polity may stand in need of..itl the Only Way they ought to be made— carefully and prudently. As to the cause of constitutional liberty., where is the man who has so triumphently upheld that sacred cause es the Doke of Wel lington ? Where would the libeltitg of Britain and the other nations of Europe have beta at this hour, but, under Providence, for him ? And when he held the powers of Government at home, when was the royal patronage more purely and more honestly ad ministered than by his hands ? What have such men as these to gain by upholding abuses ? Possessing reputation, honour, and wealth, their dearest in terests are bound up with those of their country, and must ever remain so. The tyrannical spirit of those who now seek, under the guise of Reformers, to guide the public mind, is offensive to the national eharacter. They tell the King—" If your Majesty shall venture to select your Ministers out of any other than one section of public men, whom we choose to call Reformers, we will, as far as in us lies, subvert your Government. We will return Members of Parliament who will oppose every measure it may lacing forward." Is this, indeed, the liberty of Englishmen ii Are such men as those who have been adverted to, to be for ever excluded from devoting their talents and experience to the service of their country ? If the King, in the exercise of his Royal judgment, withdrew his confidence from the late Ministers, was he the first to do so ? Did not Earl Grey, Mr. Stanley, Sit James Graham, the Duke of Richmond, the Earl of Ripon, set his MalestOhe example y inn not they successively withdraw front th 6 if Government, because they could no longer act with it ? Electors of the City of London ! Suffer not yourselves to be de luded by words without meaning.. Act upon the plain dictates of common sense and British feeling. Return to Parliament those who will gite to the Ring's Minis ters a fair trial—who will not pletlo thetnselres before-hand to condemn unheard —men who will Uphold that Constitution under which we have so long nourished—who will carry on the work of Reform without destruction —and will, without party violence, give examinat to all measures which nay be brought, a coo l , cand i d, and honest . men are Liall, Ward, an d Wil son.

THE COMMITTEE for CONDUCTING the ELECTION of Mr. LYALL, Mr. WARD, and Mr. WILSON, cannot help feeling that, notwithstanding the great and sweessful exertions which have been made in canvassing the Electors, there must be many of them who have not been called upon. The Committee trust that such omission will not be attributed to any want of respect, but to the true cause, the very short time which has been allowed for a canvas by the fixing of so early a day for the Election. The Committee most earnestly request that their friends will not relax in their exertions during the short time that intervenes be fore the Election, and no doubt can then be entertained of their success. The Poll will commence to-morrow, Tuesday, at Nine o'Clock, and on Wednesday at Eight o'Clock in the Morning, when the friends of Mr. Lyall, Mr. Ward, and Mr. Wilson, are most earnestly requested to Five an early attendance.

AT a MEETING of the ELECTORS of the CITY of LONDON, residing in Southwark and its vici nity, held at the Three Tuns Tavern, St. Margaret's-hill, January 3d, 1835 : FLORENCE YOUNG, Esq., in the Chair 3 the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to : Moved by Mr. Henry Weston, Esq., and seconded by John Woodbridge Nash, Esq. ; That, in the opinion of this Meeting, George Lyall, William Ward, and Thomas Wilson, Esqrs., from their independent princi ples, high character, and intimate acquaintance with the commer cial, shipping, and manufacturing interests of the empire, as well as for the ability and integrity which they displayed in the Com mons House of Parliament, are peculiarly qualified to become the representatives of the city of London.

ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER. OENTLEMEN, CALLED on by so large and respectable a body of the Electors of Westminster, as have done me the dis tinguished honour to invite me to offer myself as a candidate for Westminster, I can no longer, at so eventful a moment, when an important crisis is at hand, decline to place my services at your dis posal, and permit myself to be put in nomination for your suffrages on the approaching election. Stranger as lam to you, it is a duty I owe to you, as well as just to myself, that I should distinctly de clare my political sentiments. Never having before offered myself to public notice as a politi cian, I stand entirely free from any trammels of party, and altoge ther unfettered by any pledge or promise, as well as uncompromised by any previous political line of conduct. My previous declaration wl, I hope, be a sufficient guarantee that popular rights and privileges will be among the first objects of my care. _ .11Iy declaration that I consider the constitution tinder which we live the best calculated to secure the happiness of a free and inde pendent people which has ever yet been devised, will, I trust con vince you, that while I strenuously advocate reform, I seek not to destroy ; and that while I shall anxiously desire to renovate and • improve the superstructure wherever it may show symptoms of de cay, I shall carefully avoid touching the foundation which has stood the shock of ages, and on which only can permanently be secured the Constitutional rights of the Crown, and the liberties of the people. While I will firmly maintain an Established Church, in the full conviction that Christianity itself, under whatever form, is strength ened and protected by its influence, I am persuaded a careful re view of our ecclesiastical institutions is essential to its prosperity, and my best endeavours shall be used to place it upon such a foot ing as will conduce to peace and goodwill between it and those who conscientiously depart from her doctrines; and above all, my anx ious wish will be to establish those relations between the pastor and his flock, as will ensure that mutual affection and respect which is too often interrupted by causes over which neither party has had any control. My fellow-countrymen, I stand here as the opponent of no man —the prominent situation in which I am placed by a large portion of your fellow-citizens, was unsought and unexpected by me ; but having been honoured by so marked a demonstration, and such as surances of success, I cannot hesitate , to declare my full determina tion to give at? opportunity to every elector of Westminster to re cord his sentiments at the poll. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient servant, THOMAS COCHRANE. 45, Devonshire -street, Jan. 3, 1835. P. S.—l extremely regret, that from the shortness of the inter val between this and the day of nomination, it will be impossible for me to pay that attention which I consider due to every elector, in personally soliciting his vote. The Central Committee for promoting the election of Sir Thomas Cochrane, SIT DAILY at the British Coffee-house, Cockspur street, Charing-cross. There is no truth whatever in the statement of a coalition with any other Candidate—no such proposition would for a moment be entertained. WESTMINSTER ELECTION. THE COMMITTEE for CONDUCTING the ELECTION of Sir THOMAS COCHRANE SIT DAILY at the British Coffee-house, Cockspur-street, Charing cross, to receive communications ; and respectfully inform the Electors that the Nomination of Candidates will take place in Co vent-garden To-morrow, at Twelve o'clock.—Jan. 5, 1835. To the ELECTORS of BEIIIZBIIIItL. . Committe-room, Reading, Jan. 2, 1833. CIAPTAIN Dundas has published a part, a n d a k J a part only of his own correspondence with Mr. Walter.

Whe ther Captain Dtifidaii i 111 Eitceßid " ltt tOrrling ;%11., Walter out" depends upon the suffrages of the independent Electol's who first gave him his seat. Though Captain Dundas arro •ates to him self the credit of having been mainly instrumental in obtaining Mr. .W.'s return in 1832, he may yet find himself mistaken in thinking that the votes of the independent constituency of Berkshire are to be transferred "at the Weed of Cdertrfldttds' to any person whom he, or Mr. Trockmorton, may please to nominate. Captain Dundas seems to have forgotten that if he was instru mentali—and what voter is not ?—in seating Mr. W. for Berks, the friends of Mr. Walter were also instrumental in seating Captain Dundee for the eonstituenek . If . Greenwich, which he h as d eserte d t because they had ma d e up ifieti niindg to reject him.

My letter from Barton Codrt respecting your agent's asking for plumpers and against Well tit this letter=-I beg you will consider as very unlikely to come before the plate, fdr I hate war in disguise. Yours truly, To J. Walter, Esq., M.P. JNO. DUNDAS. Bearwood, Dec. 28, 1834. My dear Sir,—Your two letters, the one dated Barton-court, 25.41 December, and the other Bear, Reading, 26th D ecem b er , reached me together this moVnitig. In the first you state that you have heard with great surprise that my agents were canvassing the county against you, and ask me to declare whether this has been done by my direction. I will candidly confess to you, that the conduct of Mr. Throck ton, in withholding so long from his colleagues, and from the county at large, the information which he confided to you, respecting his in tended resignation at the approaching dissolution of Parliament, and the undisguised hostility which a few of the More Violent partisans of the late administration in this county expressed towards me, in consequence of my not sympathizing with them in the dismissal of that Administration, induced me to look with some degree of jea lousy on your coming forward as a candidate. That jealousy was considerably increased When I heard that Mr. Throckmorton,-, who ought not to have embarked me needlessly in the costly experi ment of another etniteit Word hd ima paid hiS Share of the expendi ture ray athStltS were compelled to incur, and on the express ceengagm ntra e l e committeen ton b e h d a i l o df incur, cu t Throckmorton o n. ; tn t o he by the chairman necessary expenses ohf is of carrying oar mutual friends to the poll at t!'" last election,—was canvassing in person in hie o s t n ne i g hb our h oo d f or p,'4:-..!n r. ers fo , yotl. Intelligence of similar proceedings on the part of others o your friends reached me about the same time from different parts of the county. For instance, the steward of a nobleman, who is one of your stanchest supporters, told a friend of mine, who . was canvassing his Lordship's tenantry for me, that his canvass wouldibe of no use this time, and I have since learned that the tenants have had instructions to " vote for Mr. Throckmorton's friend." These instructions have produced the desired effect, for the tenants, who voted for me last time, who avow that they have no , fault to find with my votes in Parliament, and who still express their good wishes for my success, have not dared to give me a single promise of Support at the ensiling election, Moreover ; an elector of lintbury—whom; after your letter, I mus t assume t o be labouring under some misapprehension—positively assured my agent at Hungerford that he hvl been asked by you personally for a plumper. Under such circumstances, knowing as I did that there was no schism in the powerful party of electors who had supported Messrs. Palmer and Pusey at the last election, in which the Re formers had such great difficulty in obtaining the victory,—feeling that Mr. Throckmorton had flung the winning cards of the Re formers out of his own hands into those of our late opponent Mr. Pusey,by resigning so unexpectedly,and I must say so unkindly to his colleagues, on the eve of a general election,—feeling likewise that there was still a strong spirit of opposition manifested towards me by many of those who opposed me at the last general election, and that there was also some defection, though happily not a conside rable defection, among those who supported me at that time,—l must have wilfully deluded myself, had I remained blind to the fact, which from every quarter stared me in the face,—namely, that your coming forward placed my return for the county, that just ob ject of honouralile ambition, in some jeopardy. My agents were therefore directed to use their utmost exertions, and their best dis cretion, to secure my re-election ; and IF, in canvassing the elec tors, they have followed the example of Mr. Throckmotton and others of your friends in asking for plumpers for their principal, they have done so as a precaution against the danger in which my cause was involved by the prior use of such tactics against me. This conduct on the part of my agents is not —you must yourself confess—a whit more " warlike against you" than the conduct to which I have alluded on the part of your friends is " warlike against me." In your second letter you call my attention to " a false statement" which you say has been circulated by my agents both at Farringdon and Wallingford. To this I can only reply, that neither personally nor by my Committee have I issued or authorized the issue of any bill on the subject of the ensuing election, my address to the elec tors being of coarse excepted. The bill published at Newbury, to which I suppose you advert, and from which the bill you have sent me is an extract, was written and published by an elector of hie own free will, and without any suggestion of mine. Indeed I did not see it until it had been some days in print. Whether the facts stated in the bill be true or false I have no means of ascertaining—for as I have kept no record of my own votes, it is not likely that I should have kept a record of your votes or of those of my colleagues. Other persons have, it appears, been more attentive to our proceedings, and I am glad , of it; for good must accrue to the country from this close attention on the part of the electors to the parliamentary votes and attendance of the elected. But to return from this digression. The bill printed at Farring don—which by the bye is only an abridgment of the Newbury one —was not issued by any paid agent of mine, but as I understand emanated like the other from an elector. The omission of the " notation in the Reading paper" was I trust an inadvertence on his part ; and if the bill should ever be re-issued under the authority either of myself or my committee, the fact of your absence from indisposition in the early part of last session shall certainly be noticed. Who gave directions for the publication of the bill at Wallingford I do not know, for at present I have no agent in that town. _ _ — I have given you this explanation in that spirit of frankness which has hitherto marked all transactions between us ; but I must protest against being held responsible for every squib or placard which the zeal of my supporters may prompt them to issue at the approaching election. Yours very truly, J. WALTER. Captain Dundas. Maidenhead. 29th Dec., 1834. have received your letter of 8:x pages, which is by no means satisfactory. Before me lies a copy of a letter from one of your agents to an elector in Berks, calling on him to plump for you, and by no means to give a vote to Dundas ! I hate war in disguise. I was mainly instrumental with my bro ther Reformers in seating you for Berks in 1832, and I shall now do my best to turn you out. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, J. Walter, Esq., M. P., Bearwood. JNO. D. DUNDAS. Bearwood, December 30, 11 a. m. Sir,--I have just received your letter of the 29th instant. Like you, I hate " war in disguise ; " and as you have now at last de clared open war against me, willingly leave the county to decide which of us has been the aggressor. I thank you for your support at the last election—l care not for your opposition at the present. My principles are the same now as they were in 1532; and relying as I do upon the justice and inde pendence of my brother Reformers, I do not fear that they will turn round against me merely because you give the word of com mand ; or abandon my interests, because in promoting them my agents have detected and counteracted the insidious machinations of your friends to injure them. I trust that, in accordance with your intimation in a former let ter, you will publish this correspondence. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J. WALTER. Captain Dundas. Extract of a letter from Mr, Thomas Jelfs, of Hungerford, dated December 29. " I have just seen the elector whom I named to you last week. He tells me, when Captain D. called he was not at home, but his wife was. Captain D. said, I called to solicit your husband's vote ;' adding, Tell him I hope he will give me a plumper.' I had this from the wife. Captain D.'s son has since called, when the elector told him he should vote for Mr. Walter as well as his father. Mr. - has been canvassing for Captain D. ; he called on a staunch friend of Mr. W.'s, using the following expressions : I hope you will vote for Captain D., and have nothing to do with old Walter this time.' " Bell Inn, Faringdon,.Dec. 31, 1834. Sir,—Understanding that you desire to be accurately informed by me, in writing, cf certain circumstances that have already been re ported to you, I lose no time in addressing you. On Wednesday, the 24th of December, I, in company with a friend of yours, canvassed the steward of a Whig Nobleman in this neighbourhood, with a view to ascertain if those among the tenants who voted for you at the last election, would be allowed to do the same at theresent election. Th e s t ewar d sa id to us— " Who are you fo r ?" I p answered, "Mr. Walter." The steward replied, " Then, I tell you candidly, it will not do this time." Your friend said--." Is Captain Dundas the man ?" The steward answered, " Yes." Those of the tenants whom we saw, said they should vote as his Lordship wished. One of them said to us--" It is of no use ; you'll get no promise here." The report in the village was, that the tenants had been requested " to vote for Mr. Throck morton's friend." We found is another village that the understanding was, that the tenants of another Whig Lord, who bears sway there, were ex— pected to support Mr. Dundas. Mr. Throckmorton's tenants are influenced by the example of rill .

PATTISON, THE CANDIDATE FOR THE CITY. On Saturday, a Court was held, for the purpose of enabling Mr. Pattison, the Governor of the Bank of England, to be admitted as a freeman of the City of London, in order that in the extremely probable event of his election as one of the Re presentatives of the City, no objection might be made against him upon the score of that ceremonial. Seventeen Aldermen attended, and Mr. Pattison was admitted, and an order was issued to the Chamberlain, who immediately swore in the Hon. Gentleman as a member of the Spectacle-makers' Company. Immediately after the admission of Mr. Pattigcn as a free man, a conversation took place in the Court on the subject of a report which appeared in the papers, headed " Mansion house," on the subject of THE POLICE COMMITTEE AND THE LORD MA YOR'S ORDERS TO THE MARSHALS. Alderman Wool) directed that the several newspapers of Monday last should be brotrght into the Court from the read ing room, and stated that e.ne Lord Mayor was represented in the Mansion-house repor' t of that day to have accused the Po lice Committee of imp',3rtinence in presuming to interfere with his jurisdiction in &reefing the police on the occasion of the meeting at the Lr)ndon Tavern. He wished to know whether the report was 'oorrect, or whether his Lordship had to corn -1)10in of any 'lnaccuracy in the statements made ? The Lour, MAYOR said, that the report was a true version of what had taken }lace at the Mansion-house. He had stated that the inter ference of the Police Committee with his prero gative as Istos of the City of London was most unwarrant able, and t' ~at he should feel no hesitation to avow the f:ct under ant Aide, • circumstances. .m j an 'Noon said, that at the time th e C omm i t t e e 80 . thasem,bir dat the Guildhall he was in the country.

The amusements of the day were more than counterbalanced by a severe fall Colonel Stan don had, in which he broke his Jeff above the ankle. The gallant Colonel was conveyed home in the evening, and is do ing well.

R oc hf or t, late Lieutenant- Colonel in the Portuguese service. It appears that, on learn ing he bad been described by Mr. Long Wellesley to Lord Palmerston as " a man of infamous repute," Mr. Rochfort lost no time in requiring from Mr. Wellesley a public retrac tion and apology in the following terms :—" I confess that I have done Lieutenant-Colonel W.

Mr. Reel:: fort, in the concluding letter, announces hie determination to hold communication with a person of Mr. Wellesley's unique order (at time and place befittiag) only through the medium of an ash plant or a double-thonged Crowther horse-whip."

( From the Hampshire Telegraph, .1a 0, t 3-) On Thursday evening, his Majesty's ship Madalrab - mr, 46, Captain Edmund Lyons, C. 8., arrived from her three yc , re service in the Mediterranean. She had a long passage of 3 ,7 days, having left Malta ten days previously to the Tar.Nrt'i, steamer, by which vessel the letter from our Malta correspon-• dent, inserted last week, was received: consequently, the in te:ligence received by her is not new. The Madagascar left Gibraltar on the 10th ult., and beat the whole way from Capo St. Vincent to Scilly against contrary winds. Capt. Lyons, on the passage down the Mediterranean, had an excellent od portunity of verifying, the position of Keith's Reef or Sherli.-4 shoal, on which so many fatal accidents have occurred— (amongst others the loss of the Athenienne, 04, in 1806, Captain Rainsford and 350 of the crew,) and respecting the exact position of which so much doubt existed, as to induce the Admiralty, in 1833, to send Commander Belcher, in the Etna, especially to survey these shoils, which are in the di rect track of all tessels going up or down the MediL'rranean,. and to avoid which, owing to the uncertainty of their posi tion, most vessels go considerably out of their way..

(From the Edinburgh Weekly Journal.) This day (Tuesday) Mr. Abercrombv having invited the electors to meet him at the Waterloo Hotel, the large room was completely crowded on the occasion; the LORD I'ROTOST in the Chafe, Mr. ABERcRomBY then presented himself, and was received. with great cheering. He said, I appear bek-e you, gentle men, having been dismissed from office-4 Laughter)—and the question upon which it will be your duty to pronounce your opinion will be this—whether, because I have been dismissed from the service of Soverign, I am therefore to be dis missed from the service of the people ?—( Cries of No, no, and tremendous cheering.) It the people, therefore, had wished any particular measures to become the law of the land_from what Administration would they willingly take them (Hear, bear.) From those bo bad uniformly opposed_ them ? or those who had all along testified their ap probation of them by word and Xeed?—( Hear, hear.) I come now to the Administration of Lord Melbourne, and I ask you whether you could select any pm ied in which the con fidence in the security of property was gre,lter than it was at that period? If these things are true, how can it be true that . . that Administration was composed of a set of reckless men, stoking nothing but to throw all into confusion and destroy all this existed ? We were in the course of digesting those mea sures—we had selected those points which we thought of the nearest and deepest interest to the public at the time, aid these the Ministry were in the course of preparing for Parliament, as the resd.'t of the deliberation of a united cabinet..,.-( Cheers.) We were removed by the exercise of the prerogative, and no man can doubt, that in the step his Majesty took he was acting in perfect aonso.nance with the known principles of the consti tution. Gentlemen, that Administration was removed by the. exercise of the prerogative; but I still think, that prerogatives are gives to the Sov,sreign for the use of the people...-(Great cheering.) They are title great and important duties, to be per calmly, with reflection and discretion ; end it is a reats mistake to think none are responsible. There are Ministers that must be responsible for act. I will make this quite clear. Suppose his Majesty think fit to dismiss his Ministers, he cannot remain without an Ad:ministration, and, therefore, be sends for same one of his suljects, and says, " I wish , to make you my Minister " Ile answers, " I thought yen had Ministers ?" " No, I have dismised them." The reply is, " Why have you dismissed them ?" Now if the persouo whom ho offers to make his Prime Ministn thinks that an un fortunate step, he says, " 1 cannot widen-Ake to servo your Majesty, because, if I do, I shall become responsible for and am bound to defend acts of which I disapprove. ".4 Loud cheers.) Therefore you will see that it is clear 2.:5 the sun at noon day, that the succeeding Ministry, by accenting ;Ace; take on themselves to defend and be responsible for the ground on which the preceding Ministry was dismissed. The present Administration could only look for support to that portton of the aristocracy who had separated themselves from the people, and also for four years thwarted the measures of the late GU, vernment—but now eagerly rushed into the geld to aid the ,,, struggle, in favour of the present Ministry.--( Hear, hear.) He repeated, that course which, the opposite party were pursuing, was fraught with fatal censetuences, which he lamented exceedingly, not only for. the sake of the country, but for the sake of those men themselves. .Mr. Abercromby then alluded to the claims of the Dissenters of all denomina- tions, and said that he wished to place them as nearly as pos— sible in such a situation, as they might experience no incon venience from the fact, that they consclttntiously differed from the Established Church.—(Cheers.) He was to enemy to the Church—far from wished to give to the Church a fair and honest support ; but, at the same time, he wished Church Reforms both in England and Ireland, because he knew that the effect of those reforms would be to strengthen the Church. Why, entertaining that opinion, if he was ats enemy to the Chinch, the very thing he would do would be not to promote Reform, knowing that the withholding of Reform was the only sourc.l of real danger to the Church. Two questions he would notice--one of these was the Septen nial Act, to which be was an enemy, find had voted and would always vote for its repeal.—(Cheers., - In reference to tho ballot, he wished much they could do Wsthout it, as be had a great aversion to a man exercising a duty in secret ; but if the elector, through intimidation, could not use his legitimate pri vilege of voting according to his conscience, he would at once adopt the ballot, withont the slightest hesitation. Ho con cluded by saving, that no feeling could be more grateful to him, than to thin k that, in his progress through life, he might have contributed even the smallest mite to the advancement of the political, the moral, or the intellecutal conditiott- of the people.—( Immense cheering.) After some further observations had been tnade by several of the gentlemen present, the meeting dispersed. . Mr. Arfwedson, who has just published a narrative of bis recent travels in the United States and Canada, sailed from England for New York, embarked on the waters of the Hudson, tracing up the river the localities of some of Wash ington Irving's admirable stories. From Catskill he went by L'ad to the Lebanon Springs, one of the fashionable places a t h e ;Northern States, thence through tho flourishing state of m„,, a ,laiusetts, stopping at Boston, of which he gives a very full account, and, after some excursions in the neighbourhOoa, returning to :New York by steam. From New York he went into the South, taking Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond:, Charleston, and Savannah, from thence onward to the Misis sippi and the Ohio, Washington, Albany, Rochester, the. Falls of Niagara, Montreal, Quebec, and back to New York. By this the reader will perceive that Mr. ArfweclsOn tra— versed a very considerable . portion of the United StateF, touching at the principal points of interest and going out of his way to embrace objects that are not so well known to Eur>- peans. Entertainment and information abound in this work. —Atlas. • CLERICAL WAGGERY.—Some years ago, as tilt! late Rev. Mr. Pringle of Perth was taking • walk one summer afternoon upon the Inch, two young beaus took it into their heads to break a jest upon the old parson.. Walking briskly up to him, and making their bow politely, they eked him if he could tell them the colour of the devil's wig.
