ad all having seats in the House of Lords, with a chance of preferment, from the lowest to the highest—it was a temptation to sacrifice the interests of religion to the worldly advantages that were thus held out by this un equal distribution of income—( Hear, hear) —therefore I am glad to see that there is a proposal in the late report of the Commission that the income should average from 4,5001. to 5,c;00/. a-year.—( Hear, hear.) lam not now discussing whether that is a proper sum, or whether it is too large or to small, but that it is a princkle z which I am glad to see adopted, and that so far from:;?Auring the Church of England, I am persuaded it will promote its efficiency, and increase the spirit of religion in this country — (Hear, hear, hear)—and that you do in fag give it ten times more effect ; that by so doing you give it ten times more efficiency than by declarinm that you will support all its abuses, untouched by a single re foi M.—(Hear, hear, hear, and great cheering.) Gen tlemen, I will speak next as to that other subject on which I have been exposed to still more violent a ttacks—(Hear, hear)—and to misrepresentations which I must say partake little of the character of Christian charity—(Hear, hear)— I mean upon the Church of Ireland.—(Great cheering.) Now, Gentlemen, there are many persons who state that mv opinions on the Church of Ireland are injurious to Church property ; that they are injuritarto the Protestant religion in Ireland ; and that they will affect the Established Church in this country.—(No, no.) Gentlemen, lam dis posed to think that these opinions are propagated by those who derive benefits from the Church—that they are propa gt.ted by those who derive incomes from the Church—that ti ey are propagated by thosevho derive power from the C lurch, but not by those who employ that power and income from the Church in diffusing its religious instruc ti,n, for spreading its benefits throughout the country.— (('ontinued cheering.) Gentlemen, I have had my notices of facts from clergymen employed in the Church of Ireland, au d who had stated to various persons, from whom I had it, that as the Church of Ireland at present stands, while the income of those who attend to the spiritual care of the Vrotestant members belonging to that Church is often in sufficient, there is, notwithstanding, a large income that might be applied to purposes conducive to tho general bene fit of religion, and to the harmony and union of the people of Ireland at large.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, if you 'will permit me, I will read a letter from a person, a curate of the Established Church, written to Mr. Serjeant Perrin, who made a most able speech on the Church of Ireland in Parliament. Gentlemen, I consider that testimony from a Curate of the Established Church as of far more value than the speeches made by persons of very high dignity in the Church perhaps, but who have not had the opportunity of knowing the feelings or consulting the wants of the poorer classes of the people in Ireland : " April 12, 1835. " Dear Sir,—There is one point the Tories harp on which has not been replied to, viz., the whole Church property would not be sufficient, on an equalization of income, to place a cler gyman with 2501. a-year in every parish ; for 1,500 parishes, at 250/. each, would amount to 375,0001. " The answer is, that Irish parishes are so various in extent, and so dovetailed into one another, there is no occasion for a e:ergyman in every parish, as at present defined, but in every district." Here follows a map of four parishes, taken in the neigh lourhood of the writer, which, for distinction's sake, I will call A, B. C. D. The income which is compounded for, is cs follows : £B5O • 475 200 £2,025 He proposes that these four parishes should be united into two districts, and says : " These are not vicarious—all the rectors, four in number, are absentees.—( Hear, hear.) The curate of A. and myself did all the duties of the four parishes for these twenty years, at 751. each. The two churches are about six miles asunder. Now, if these four parishes are made into two districts, two clergymen would do all the duty for 500 L, leaving (after 5001., kr 25 per cent. reduction) 1,000/. for education.—(Great cheering.) All Munster and Connaught might be divided in the same way.—(Go on and prosper.)" • Now, Gentlemen, this is the opinion of a Protestant curate, who proposed—what ?—that the sum levied for the clsrgymen should be diminished ?—By no means—(Hear, hear)—that it should be altogether taken away ? far less ; but that it should be raised from 75/. to 2501.—(Hear, hear, and cheers)—and he then says, that giving this 250/. instead of 75/., there would be a large sum left for educa tion.—(Reiterated cheers.) Now, gentlemen, I ask you, is not that a demonstration, that if we can give a sufficient or a larger sum than they now have to those Protestant clergymen who now perform the , duty—that if we can at the same time give a sum for the ge neral education of the people—(Cheers)—an educa tion in which Roman Catholics and Protestant Dis senters and Churchmen can all agree—an education of which they can all partake—that instead of endan gering the Church,.instead of weakening its power, instead of subverting the Protestant religion, we are in fact doing that which will strengthen the Church—that which will promote harmony with all parties—that which will pro mote order and restore peace—(great cheering) that which will conciliate the Roman Catholics to your Government ....that which will make your Protestant religion respected by, instead of being odious to, those who know nothing of its merits—who see it now in the shape of the tithe proc tor, and the captain of dragoons, and the corporal of in fantry—who will see in it in future the means by which religion is promoted—the means by which the general in struction and comfort of the people is - encouraged, and who will then look upon your established Government, and your Established Church of England, with far other eyes, and with more kindly inclinations, and will be disposed to bless that religion, and the Legislature from which such consequences shall flow.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) Well, gentlemen, I say then, is it not better to do this—is it not wiser to do this—is it not more politic to adopt this course, than to continue in that system which makes it necessary that we should employ the armed force of England in or der to maintain the Protestant religion of Ireland—( Hear, hear !)—and which will make it necessary, if we continue that system, that the people of this country should be called upon to keep up the Protestant Church of Ire land, instead of its relying upon the hold which that Church ought to have in Ireland.—(Cheers.) And I ask you if it is not better that we should adopt a system of conciliation, and that • the three countries of England, Scotland, and Ireland, should in future be united in one bond of amity, in one bond of friendship, under subjection to the same Crown, and represented in the same Parliament—(Cheers) than that those dreadful scenes which we have seen prevail of late years in Ireland, should prevail.—(Great cheering.) Gentlemen, that is the question which the people of Eng land now have to decide—( Hear, hear)—and a more im portant question, I say, never came before you.—(Hear, hear.) If lam wrong in my pr:neiple—if the people of England do not confirm my opinion in that, I am ready to bow to their decision, whatever may be the calamitous con sequences—and calamitous I think they will be—which will ensue from the adoption of the system of the late Government.—(Hear, hear.) But, gentlemen, I say again that it is a question of principle—the question upon the de cision of which I am disposed to abide.—(Cheers.) I can not recede from it ; even if nine-tenths of the people of this country shall differ from me, I cannot depart from my honest duty—(Cheers)—l shall be compelled to enforce it in Parliament—l shall be obliged to maintain it in the Councils of my King.—(Loud cheering.) Now, gentlemen, with these opinions, therefore, I shall little care for all the calumnies and inventions that may be dispersed against me. —(Cheers.) I know that, with a Ministry constituted like the present, that whenever there is any measure which ma be supposed to have a Tory tendency, rather than other wise, there are persons who will say, " Now you want to please the Tories." Whenever there is a measure which may be supposed to have a radical bias, " Now you want to please the Radicals."—(Hear, hear.) What I want to do is, not to make any concessions but such as I think right, and I will abide by that decision whether my coun try will support me or not.—(Cheers.) I care little for names—an imputation may be cast upon us for having the support of Mr. O'Connell—(Hear, hear)—and the per sons who may be disposed to support the present Admini stration.—(Hear, hear.) They are persons who supported the Administration during the progress of the Reform Bill —( Hear, hear)—who, during the progress of that Bill gave the most efficient aid in carrying it.—(Cheers.) No man thought of repudiating that assistance then, nor should we do so now, in the progress of any great work. No one said, you go further than me on other points, and I will not pro ceed with you on this till you abandon them.—(Hear, hear.) That party did not disguise their difference from the Ministry that carried the Reform Bill on such matters as they disagreed on'; but, they said, those points we may discuss in future ; but as far as this Reform Bill is con cerned, you have our able, honest, and zealous assistance, and we use it on a proposal of our own, when we think it conscientiously right.—( Hear, hear.) Sir, I am disposed to accept the assistance of any person, whatever opinions they may hold as to the present Mi nistry, in whatever they may conscientiously support.— (Hear, hear.) lam not disposed, on the other hand, to go farther than I can conscientiously go with regard to mea sures which they may think right, but in the justness and fitness of which I cannot concur.—(Cheers.) I should like to know who can say there is any dereliction of principle in such conduct as that ? Gentlemen, I have now explained to you at some length that which I felt bond to:do at this important crisis of public affairs, be cause I may say, that the eyes of all England—that the . eyes of all Europe— (Hear, hear)—are looking at the con ( -i , duct of the electoii of this county, with respect to this par .ls. - ticular election.—(Hear, hear.) I should not have felt t . .„-,, ..,;,...., satisfied if I had,,done less. With regard to mere local -1,1 r~ questions, allow me to say I feel most particularly greihsd in having the attendance of such a body of gentlemen to pay me the compliment of their presence—a compliment which I can never sufficiently feel. Allow me to say, that in proposing and drinking the last toast, you did me the honour to connect with it the name of a lady who is dear to me. In the name of that lady—l may say, of that Pro testant lady— (The Noble Lord was here so far over come by his feelings that he was totally unable to proceed. His emotion, excited probably by the aspersions which had been cast on the religious character of his young and beau tiful bride, entirely conquered his utterance, and the meeking, astonished to see the soul of the high-born and stern principled statesman yielding to the influence of those beau tiful feelings of affection which adorn the character of all who feel their power, accorded its sympathy with the most generous enthusiasm. His Lordship sat down ; and the meeting, as one man, rose and gave a burst of hearty and enthnsiastic cheering.) Mr. EWART now rose with the address, and was greeted with long-continued and most enthusiastic cheering. He said—My Lord, for whatever little trouble I might have had in coming down from the distant town of Liverpool to present this address to your Lordship, I should be most amply compensated by the splendid speech which we have heard from your Lordship to-day, and from the reception which you have had from your friends in this county, which you have so ably represented.—(Cheers.) My Lord, I have been instructed to follow your Lordship, to present you with an address expressive of our admi ration of the talent and integrity which has characterized your Lordship through your public life, and more parti cularly for the zeal and ability you have displayed on the question of the appropriation of the surplus property of the Irish Church.—(Reiterated cheers) The Honour able Gentleman attempted to hold up the address to read it, but was unable, from its great bulk and weight, from the signatures ottached to it.—l should tell your Lord ship, that this was written before we received the gra tifying news of your Lordship's recal into the councils of your Sovereign ; it was adopted at a public meeting, and left at the shops of the town for signatures, without any effort being made to give it publicity beyond the fact of its announcement ; and that, in the short space of three days it received no less than 10,546 signatures—Cheers)—they were obtained without any exertion or solicitation.— , (Hear.) It was left freely for the inhabitants to come forward, and the number thus obtained exceeded by about 4,000 the number obtained by every effort that could be made by the Tories to an address to Sir Robert Peel, re questing him not to resign.—(Great cheering.) My Lord, I am quite aware of the great labours you have had to go through in your canvass—therefore I will not detain you, particularly as nothing I can say can strengthen the regard which we have in tha t distant part of the country for your Lordship—a regard not arising from any personal acquaintance, not from any association, not from any family influence in our neighbourhood—but because the people have, been always taught that the name of Russell has been ever connected with the liberties of the people ; and we have felt grateful to you for the exertions which you have made for the interests and happiness of the people of England.—(Long-continued cheering.) It will be a great delight to us (the people of Liverpool) to hear that your Lordship will be triumphantly returned again to represent this division of the county of Devon in Parliament, not withstanding the great exertions the Tories are everywhere making against you. Mr. EWART now handed the Address to his Lordship. The following is a copy : "TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD JOHN aussßLt. • " We, the undersigned inhabitants of the town and neigh bourhood of Liverpool, address your Lordship at this import ant and eventful period, for the purpose of expressing the ad miration which we feel for the perseverance, energy, and ta lent which have characterised your Lordship's Parliamentary career. " The resolution which your Lordship has succeeded in carry ing in the House of Commons, relative to the appropriation of the surplus revenues of the Irish Church, has our most cor dial concurrence, and claims from us the warmest expression of our gratitude. " We congratulate your Lordship upon the happy prospects which (through your efforts) now begin to dawn upon our country, and, in common with the majority of the people of this great empire, we ardently hope that your Lordship will be speedily recalled to the Councils of his Majesty." Dr. BOWRING (who spoke after his Lordship retired) could not but feel deeply and sincerely interested in this contest. In the presence of his Lordship, he should scarcely have ventured to say how much he must feel the scorn and reproach that would be flung on this county if such a man as the Noble Lord was to be ejected from Parlia ment, and by such a man as had been proposed by his opponents. He could not believe it—he would not be lieve that his native county could possibly, so dishonour itself. If it did, let every one present at least have the satisfaction, and conviction, and recompence, that each had acted as though the suctess of the cause had de pended on his own exertions, so that if the Noble Lord should not succeed, they might at least say they had done their duty on so great an occasion. —(Cheers) He would not venture to doubt that they should succeed.—(Cheers.) He had heard with great satisfaction the sentiments which had fallen from his friend on his right (Mr. Newman) ; and if it were necessary to revert to that, he could easily follow him, by pointing his finger to the grand error which Earl Grey's Ministry fell into. Unfortunately that Ministry had looked the wrong way ; they had looked to the Lords instead of the people.—(Reiterated cheers.) The duty of a Government was not to do what the Lords would consent to, but .to do that which the-people required, in order to accomplish that end for which Government was instituted.—(Cheers.) The people of England had n 9 in terest in agitation—they had no interest in violence ; they wanted their public affairs conducted by wise, not factious men, who shall take from them no necessary expenses, and who shall treat them with no unnecessary taxation, but who shall do one thing—all the gdod that cAn be accomplished by Government, to root out radically every proved abuse. —(Much cheering.) When the Noble Lord most properly alluded to a portion of the House of Commons, with whom he did not agree, he (the Hon. Gentleman) felt that it be came him, as one of the Radical party, to give his evidence of the unity of purpose, of the honesty of intention, of that party—( Hear, hear)—towards the present Ministry—the Radicals would not betray their friends because there might be sonic measures in which they might differ. The people of England would not allow their representative to be deserted, because in some points they might not agree ; but let the Mi nistry go on in a right direction ; he did not want to hurry them in time ; he only wanted to see that their progress was an onward one in the cause of Reform—(Hear)--he only wanted to see that they were going on in popular principles and popular rights ; and lie should not blame them for not doing all, but encourage them to do all that, in their cir cumstances, they could accomplish. He was sure that be only expressed the feelings of the people of England ; they knew the difficulties that surrounded them—they knew the power of the Church, the power of the Court, and the power of the Peers that were opposed to them.—( Hear.) The people did not desire to impede them by asking for measures which only free people could grant ; but let them only turn in the right direction, and advance in that road which leads to good and popular government.—(Cheers.) He could assure the meeting that that portion of the repre sentatives which stood aloof from power would give the Mi nistry the most honest and most conscientious support, for their consolation was this, that their principles were founded in truth, and associated with public opinion as they knew them to be—that those principles must triumph. These prin ciples, say the phalanx of the Reformeri, may be a little higher to-day—they may fall a little lower to-morrow, but we know their might and we know their majesty, and we are un concerned as to the result.—(Cheers.) Dr. Bowring then adverted to the attacks which had been directed against the Noble Lord, and their utter innocuousness on a mind like his. His adversaries had charged him with having written a book—it would be some time before the Noble Lord would be able to retaliate such a charge on his oppo nent.—(Laughter). A great principle was involved in the success of the Noble Lord—a principle that was pregnant with improvement, and one that must bring important re sults with it. He (the Noble Lord) had behaved most admirably in the House of Commons ; and to-day, gentle men, (said the Honourable and Learned Member, alluding to the emotion displayed by the Noble Lord on acknow ledging the health of Lady Russell,) and to-day, gentlemen, I saw an outbreak, which I confess has much moved me, because I saw in that spirit an outbreak of those domestic affections which are always intimately connected with man's purest and holiest feelings—and let me find those feelings so strong that they cannot be suppressed—l shall not con sider it a weakness but a title to confidence.—(Cheers.) I assure you that if I have honoured Lord John Russell till now, I loved him to-day when I saw that sign of the holiest feeling of humanity.—(Reiterated cheers.) The Honourable and Learned Member then vindicated Mr. O'Connell from some of the aspersions which bad been cast on him, and concluded by giving the health of Mr. Ewart. Mr. EWART returned thanks, and the meeting shortly afterwards broke up. PLYMOUTH, Anut 28. Yesterday the committee of Lord John Russell received most favourable accounts from Tavistock, Okehampton, &c., relative to the progress of the canvas, with communi cations from Lord Ebrington, Sir John St. Aubyn, and other influential sources. Sir John, with Sir Anthony Buller and Earl Morley, and some other persons of rank, upon whom the Tory party had confidently relied for sup port, having now given their positive adhesion to Lord John Russell's friends, will effect a considerable change in the estimate of Mr. Parker's strength, relative to which it is quite clear gentlemen would not speak in such glowing and even triumphant terms, if they were really well informed as to numbers. The accounts from the South Hams are THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 1., 1835. equally cheering ; and, indeed, from all parts of the divi sion. Lord John has a sufficient number of votes to out lialance the influence of the ultra-Tory and High Church party, and to outweigh any possible advantage of the To ries in the Exeter district. From Exeter the accounts will necessarily be ex-cathedra -- they are, however, so mixed up with abuse and scurrility, as to make the sober minded churchman blush for the fulminations of pulpit-men. This day there has been a large muster of the Liberals at the Mechanics' Institute, to prepare for the reception of Lord John, who will attend a public meeting of the electors and friends to the cause on Thursday, at one. Several .geittlemen, well-known friends of the agricultural interest, and opposers of the present obnoxious system of tithes, will address the meeting. Lord John's reception at Kings bridge, on Saturday, is an earnest of the firmness of his supporters in that district. His Lordship is at South Brent to-day, and will be at Modbury to-morrow. NINE, P.M.—A report has just reached us of a large meeting this day of the agriculturists at South Brent, which has been addressed by Lord John Russell, Lord Seymour, Mr. J. C. Bulteel (the late member), Colonel Seale, Mr. Newman (of Mamhead), Mr. Watson, &c. ; the result of which is spoken of with the greatest enthusiasm by a party of gentlemen from this town who went over this morning, and are just returned. The Noble Lord and his friends, besides visiting Modbury to-morrow, go to Dartmouth to address the electors there. There will be an aggregate meeting of the nobility and rich commoners here on Thursday, as this is to be a concentrating point to exhibit the strength of his Lordship's interest in the south-west of Devon. From the latest accounts the con clusion may fairly be drawn that his Lordship is perfectly safe. MANCHESTER. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29.-SECOND DAY. At the close of the poll, Mr. Thomson addressed a very nu merous assemblage from his head Committee-room, thanking them for the very triumphant majority with which they had placed him at the head of the poll. The people greeted him with enthusiastic applause, and at the conclusion followed him to his hotel, bestowing on him their hearty congratulations. The Election has passed over without the , slightest inter ruption to the good order of the town. TEN O'CLOCK. ~ Thomson 2BOl Braidley ELEVEN O'CLOCK.

BRAINTREE, THURSDAY, APRIL 30.—Mr. Disney hav ing announced his intention of addressing the electors at Braintree-market yesterday, at four o'clock, a numerous as semblage met opposite the Horn lan, from the balcony of which the Hon. Gentleman proceeded to address them. He stated that being a candidate for their suffrages, it be came his duty to explain his political principles to them, more especially on those points which affected their inte rests as British farmers. In the event of his being returned as their Representative, the first point to which he would give his attention would be that of the distress under which the farmer laboured, and the most probable and effective mode of relieving that distress.—(Cheers.) One of the chief considerations upon this subject would be the Malt-tax.—(Cheers.) It was an impost which produced a considerable revenue to the Government, but it was ex tracted from the pockets of the people. His own opinion was, that it was a most impolitic tax. He should most decidedly vote for the repeal of the Malt-tax.--(Cheers.) Another subject to which he should direct his attention would be that respecting the alteration of the currency. He was of opinion that this would be a most beneficial measure to the agriculturists. The Honourable Gentleman stated that there was another question which affected the interests of the agriculturists, upon which he was happy to inform them he had arrived at the same conclusion to which Lord John Russell had—he alluded to the tithe question— (Cheers.) He would support an equitable Commutation Tithe Bill, which would do justice to all parties, and be satisfactory both to the payers and the receivers of tithes. As to his being a Leveller, Destructive, or Radical, it was of very little consequence to him what they (the Tories) might call him, so long as the electors properly understood what he was. He was a Whig of the Charles James Fox school, with sentiments adapted to the present day, as he believed would have been those of that great man. The Honourable Candidate was loudly cheered at the conclusion of his address. The polling commenced this morning, and notwithstand ing it rained very hard, the friends of Mr. Elwes mustered in considerable numbers, with the intention of placing him at the head of the first day's poll. The Reformers will, no doubt, gain considerably on to-morrow's polling. It is reported that Lord Braybrooke, who has hitherto supported Mr. Western (as far as a Peer can be supposed to support a candidate), has announced himself favourable to Mr. Elwes' cause. This is but a report ; whether it be true or otherwise time will show. _ . The following is the state of the poll at the Braintree district : TWELVE O'CLOCK.—Elwes, 252; Disney, 94.—Majority 158. HALF-PAST TWELVE.—EIwes, 403 ; Disney, 132.—Majo rity 271. ONE o'CLocK.—,,Elwes, 447 ; Disney, 165.—Majority 282. BRAINTREE, HALF-pAsr EIGHT o'CLocr. At the close of the day's poll the numbers were as under BRAINTRIE. El es 613 I Disney 253 _ . . Majority COLCHESTER. Etwes _ _ . Majority SAFFRON WALDEN.

The Hon. Gentleman expressed himself quite confident that the contest would terminate in his favour. _ _ Mr. Disney was not present, but addressed the electors at Colchester. Mr. Elwes's election is not deemed so certain as he thinks it to be, as it is understood that he has polled nearly his whole strength ; whereas the greater portion of the vo• ters who have promised Mr. Disney' have not yet polled. PENRYN AND FALMOUTH. The election of a representative for this borough, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the appointment of R. M. Rolfe, Esq., as Solicitor-General, commenced at eight o'clock on Tuesday morning, in the Guildhall at Penryn, when the Honourable and Learned Gentleman was again proposed by Captain Trenery, and seconded by Mr. Thomas Rogers ; and Lord Tullamore, the defeated Tory candidate at the late general election, by Mr. Richard Williams and Mr. John Symons. The polling immediately commenced, and the Portreeve, the Returning Officer, at once proceeded to Falmouth, to open the poll at that place, where Captain Porteous officiated as Deputy Portreeve. The polling was carried on with great spirit throughout the day. At the close of the poll the numbers were-- Rolfe. Tullamore. Penryn Falmouth ......... 214 278 279 Majority in favour of Lord Tullamore 1 It will be seen, from this statement, that the honest and independent electors of Falmouth are swamped by the scot and lot pot-walloping voters of the old borough of Penryn, who have for generations been taught to look to an elec tion of Members of Parliament as a profitable harvest: In the present contest there is something very curious. Lord Tullamore sent an agent from London to watch his interest, which, after two days' canvass, was given up on the part of Lord Tullamore ; but certain electors of Pen ryn, who profit by a contest, egged on by a few Tories who imagine that they engross all the public spirit, virtue, and patriotism, and a bustling, briefless barrister, named Hors ford, and, three or four turncoat apostate attorneys, deter mined to put the Bedchamber Lord in nomination ; and by all the trickery, misrepresentation, and intimidation that they so well knew how to bring into play, they have suc ceeded in placing their " know-nothing, do-nothing" man of pleasure one ahead of the King's Solicitor-General, whose talents, virtues, and amiable manners have won him the good feeling and the hearty support of four-fifths of the enlightened electors of the newly-enfranchised town of Fal mouth, which, but for its being wedded by the Reform Act to one of the most corrupt in the corrupt boroughs, would have returned Mr. Rolfe in triumph.

We announced in a part of our yesterday's impres sion • the splendid triumph which the Reformers have gained at Manchester. From the state of the poll on Tuesday afternoon it was evident beyond all doubt on which side victory would declare, but so 3ve.:whelming a majority as that which crowned the return of the President of the Bo:ircl of Trade could hardly have been anticipated, even in Manchester. That the Reforming Minister should have polled thirteen hundred and sixty-six votes more than his anti-reform ing opponent, is some little proof that General Re action has not yet commenced his operations in the manufacturing Capital of Great Britain. The Gallant General has, no doubt, been too much engaged in other quarters—too busy in Taunton, and Penryn, and Fal mouth, and other southern parts, to turn his attention to the affairs of the North. He probably intended to take Manchester in his way to Berwick, Edinburgh, Dundee, &c., in some of which Norland cities his presence is, we apprehend, rather anxiously wished f or , than seriously expected. For poor Lord TULLA MORE, who has been so well beaten by the SOLICI TOR-GENERAL at Penryn—let the Tories lament in sackcloth and ashes—we heartily rejoice at his dis graceful defeat. The base attempt to deceive the Re formers, by pretending that he had declined standing for that borough, when his partisans were quietly can vassing for him, has been visited with condign and ex emplary punishment. The same fate will, we trust, overtake the man who is supported by means no less honourable in Devon shire. Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S canvass, in spite of an opposition which, for its bitterness, and reckless ness as to the means of giving it effect, has never been equalled, has been eminently successful. An excellent letter, signed " Publius," calling upon the electors of Devonshire to do their duty on this memorable occasion, will be found in another part of The Sun. Oh ! that every elector, riot in Devonshire only, but throughout the e mpire, would act on the noble principles so for cibly, so admirably set forth by our Correspondent. We are confident that we shall only give expression to the public feeling, if we offer to the electors of Taunton the thanks of the people of Great Britain, for the noble manner in which they have just performed the great duty they were called upon to discharge to their country and to themselves. There are many reasons why more than usual credit is due to them for ' their conduct upon this occasion. The borough con tains a great 'lumber of potwallopers, who had been accustomed to the old system, and in whom, there fore, great moral and political feeling must have ex isted to permit them to reject festivities and gratui ties which long usage had taught them to view as an essential part, if not the sole use, of the elec tive franchise. Again, the Tory influence in Taun ton is very great. The most shameless attempts are made to influence tradesmen. Threats, which are very often put in• force, are unscrupulously employed to awe the young tradesmen, especially, from following the dictates of their consciences, arid joining the patriotic party. The gentry of the neighbourhood interfere in this manner, and persons with large families, and those whom circumstances have made at all dependant, are particularly marked out for entrapment by these political poachers. It is worthy of note also, that a great majority of the landlords of inns and beer-shops ranged themselves on the Tory side. And yet, with all this—with so much influence, and intimidation, and interested zeal, ranged on their side, — the Tories of Taunton, have been left in a woeful mi nority. The spirit of the people rose above all adverse influences—their honesty was proof against all temp tations. As if they were resolved to shew that, at least in Taunton there was' no re-action, their zeal surpassed anything they had ever before displayed. At the hour appointed for the opening of the poll they assembled at each quarter of the town, and marched in long processions to record their votes in I favour of a Liberal Government. This is not merely a victory—it is a great victory. Its importance at this moment cannot be over-estimated. It marks, beyond all doubt, the state of public feeling. It gives the lie to the impudent assertion of the Tories, that there is a re-action. We know from the best authority that Mr. LABOUCHERE'S majority is greater=--much greater—than it would have been had the same trial taken place five months ago. It is evident that the new Ministry is strong in the confidence of the public. The desperate endeavours of the Tories to embarrass them by opposition are serving only to prove, by the unquestionable evidence of a poll, the utter weakness of the assailant party. No one of all the fifteen elections is now even doubtful, except that for Devonshire. Nor there would there be any doubt of that, if the 501. clause of the Reform Act had not destroyed the independence of the county constituencies, and delivered over the honest yeoman, with his conscience fettered, to the parsons and those of the. Squires who have an interest in the corruptions of Church and State. But let them follow the glorious example of their fellow citizens of Manchester and Taunton. Let every Devonshire elector feel as if upon his single vote depended the liberties and welfare of himself and of his country, and they will complete the great work which has been so well begun, and se cure to the people of England the privilege of being governed by men of their own choice—by men whose hearts, as well as their words, are with them—who will reform from principle and not from mere expediency— and still less from a sordid love of place—who will do as much, and not as little, as possible for the purifica tion and renovation of the institutions of our country. The Ministry, we trust, will not be ungrateful for the generous and cordial support they are now receiv ing. May they remember who were their friends, when friends are most wanted. May they henceforth seek rather to serve TILE PEOPLE who love them, than to conciliate the Tories who hate them. Let them set before the country the measures which they intend to advocate. We know well that it is impossible these can all be carried in this, or even in the next session. But let them be before the country, that the people may know what their Ministry will do if they can. We shall be content to proceed slowly and deliberately, provided we are first assured whither we shall be led. Then, if the enemies of Reform throw obstacles in their path, let them not hesitate a moment—let them appeal to the people on their measures. Then there will be a test to know the real from the pretended Re former. The question to a candidate will then be, not as it was at the last election, " Are you a Re former?" to which many a Tory, putting his construc tion upon the word, ventured to reply, " I am ;"—but are you for this or that Reform measure ? With their bills upon the table of the House of Commons, the MELBOURNE Ministry would insure such a majority on an appeal to the people as would command success in the Lords who, whatever their boastings, do dread a conflict with the Commons of England. We have received Brussels and German Papers of the latest dates. The city of Brussels, in order to make up the deficiency of its budget of 1833, has just voted a loan of four millions of Francs to be repaid in the course of the year, by way of lottery. It is to be divided into 20,000 shares of 200 francs each, of which 3,000 are to be drawn in July, August, September, and October, (making 12,000) and 4,000 in Novem ber, and 4,000 in December. There are to be many prizes, viz. ; one of 200,000 fr., one of 100,000 fr., one of 75,000 fr., two of 50,000 fr., sixteen of 20,000 fr., thirty of 5,000 fr., fifty of 2,000 fr., and fifty of I,ooofr. The German Journals continue to discuss the subject of the domestic policy of England, as exhibited in the late changes in the Cabinet. The Governments of Austria and Prussia lament that the King did not either retain the MEL BOURNE Cabinet at first, or, having discarded it, that he did not make some more advisable effort to support the Tories than he has done. The last part of the wailing of these Governments proves how very little they know about the power of public opinion in this country.

We are informed that the unfortunate woman whose body was found in the Seine, has at last been recognized—that the presumed author of the horrible crime has been arrested. The Courrier de Lyons gives accounts of the effect of the late cold weather much more satisfactory than those at first received. We learn that the Attorney-General to the Court of Peers having received from the accused, in consequence of his application to them, the list of the witnesses whom they desired to have summoned for their defence, has notified to then that he does not see sufficient reasons for summoning to the trial even one of the witnesses mentioned. It appears to us quite exorbitant, after refusing the accused the counsel they desired, to refuse also to summon the witnesses whom they judge can give evidence calculated to end in discovering the truth. We know very well that the accused may have any witnesses summoned that they please ; but after the refusal of M. Martin du Nord, they will be obliged to do so at their own expense; and it may be conceived what an enormous charge is thus imposed for a trial which will probably last not less than three months, on- persons who are, for the most part, without re sources, and whose scanty means have _been exhausted by a preliminary imprisonment of more than a year. This is not the least odious episode of this monstrous affair : it is a war of money, made on unhappy accused persons, who have only the presumption of innocence, and who, in order to prove it, arc subjected, by the rude proceeding of the pacquet, to impose on themselves a tax, which cannot be less than 10,000 francs per month as long as the trial lasts. PARIS, APRIL 29.—Our readers will doubtless recollect that M. Lowassy, Civil Sub-intendant at Bougia, having entered into negotiation with an Arab Chief in the vicinity, they were violently interrupted, by order of M. Duvinier, the Military Commandant, and that M. Lowassy had gone to Algiers. A letter from Algiers of the 19th informs us that M. Lowass d y ha been sent back to Bougia, with Colonel Lemercier, who wag ordered to take the place. In one of the conferences which d took place between Oulidon-Raba and Messrs. Low ass y and Lemercier, a treaty of peace has been signed, the substance of which is, that the town of Bougia and its territory, co prehending the plain, are ceded to us, as well as tke forts d pendent on it. Oulidon-Raba has engaged to subdue the tribes hostile to us, with our assistance, if it should be neces sary. There will be a market near the town, where all cx changes will be made, under the combined protection.--- Messager, April 29. FRENCH FUNDS.—PARtfi, APRIL 29 Five per Cents., 107 f. 75c 80c. 101. f.
