" - `ev 7 Year, whi c h ex t en d s i ts genial influ to!nee all the animate productions of nature, has to_uched with its invigorati ng wan d th e p ower f u l p ages !the "'Westminster Review." The master-mind which *s t called it into being, seems again to have visited it an the fulness of immortal strength, and to have im -1(:;!rted to it all the vigour and freshness which first laistiuguished it among its more aristocratic contempo ,oles. Tile prer„,ent number is neither so varied nor .a. brilliantl as many of its predecessors ; but it cer ta in , yields to none in the importance of its articles, _ titt th e great ability with which they are treated. The most stirring pavers are on " Miss Aikin's Court of • aries 1.," " Irish Labourers," " Practice of the sear utTinitrelarl..iLnaw of Scotland,,, CC Germany," and " the quiry by the Man with Forty Crowns a : ar"---alluding to the late free-trade inquiry under the luperintendence of the French Government. This , ast P a lier is given in French and English on the op traorstiitees sides of thepage, for the instruction of all Concerned, so that John Bull and Monsieur lo t may each rea d t h e art i c l e i n hi s turn w ith ou t idi n g t he meaning- in the unintelligil)ility of a foreign th °tn . This article appears to be written by the au a 113 of the. well-known paper on Free Trade, which W 11i l ien red som e two or more years s i nce i n t h e " est nster Re view," and possesses all the merit of that ex cellent and a d m i red production. With R eview of the Court of Charles I, will be read rn °re than ordinary attention at this time. The pr peat similarity between many of the causes which ti nt'oked t h e horrid catastrophe, which led to the esta -I,:hluent of a Commonwealth in England, and those Tel marl; the opposition between the British Sove -Negri and tile most enlightened of his subjects at the time, are too striking not to awaken feelings of s h e T e st painful na t ure . G o d f o rbid that this country I ,: t uid ever again have to pass through such an ordeal ; wit h our exp er i ence o f the past, it w ou ld b e th e exe"s the of foolishness to feel indifierent to any errors in Gov ernment, which - recal to the public mind a Itvlicand in our hi s tory Pregnan t w ith every ca l am ity, roe fr aught with ever y cr i me .

Acting up to this prin e"ve submit to our readers the following brief h a ini nary of the principal causes which led t o th e un - PPY collision between Charles I. and his subjects : ex,i t e w are the memorials, and small the commiseration they h4for those who groaned in secret under a systuti of ad %tration, which must so often have struck at hearts as o r if not so courageous, as the nv.glity ones of the field the,senate.

The second Parliament o tarles was as loftily treated, and about as absurdly dissolved, or h e first ; nor did the third experience different treatmeut, jmanifest more spirit and dignity. The servility of . their e akers, who like more modern ones, extolled the King, it v i , rai d Monarchy, Parliaments, Bishops, Commons, Laws, S onie u_uges, only served to exasperate the successive .

" The thirty-four millions composing the population of the States comprised in the Germanic Confederation, are divided into about sixteen millions of Catholics, seventeen millions of Protestants, eight hundred thousand smaller Sectaries, and two hundred thousand Jews. The armed force of the Confe deration constantly under arms, and thus forming its peace establishment, is about 300,000 men, of which number Austria provides about 95,000, and Prussia about 80,000. " These facts and data furnished by documents of the Ger manic Confederation, are texts from which to preach on kingly perfidy and:national degradation." With these extracts and observations we must dis miss the present number of the " Westminster Re view," although we feel that we have not done it all the justice which it merits. It contains no fewer than sixteen articles, all on very important subjects. MAUNDER' S TREASURY OF KNOWLEDGE. J. J. Mason, London, 1835. As we noticed this clever work on its first appear ance, we shall here simply content ourselves with ob serving that it has reached a sixth edition ; is very materially enlarged, and in every respect improved; and now contains a mass of solid, valuable knowledge, which is to be found in no other work of the same THOMAS'S LIBRARY ATLAS OF MODERN AND ANCIENT GEOGRAPHY.—No. I. London ; Thomas, Finch-lane ; and Sirnpkin and Marshall, Stationers' Court. The world has had its ages of gold, of silver, of brass, and of iron ; and now that it has changed . metals for paper, the present age would not be incor rectly styled, THE AGE OF CHEAP PUBLICATIONS. Every day brings us some fresh proof of the enter prise of publiAers in every department of our litera ture, and. of the zeal with which they anticipate the wants of the public at an expense which it is hardly possible to believe offers a fail remuneration for the or dinary labour ; to say nothing of the risks run, and the ruin which must follow, when large sums are embarked in the publication of works which drop still-born from the press. The publication before us is one of the many instances of such an enterprising spirit. We have here six beautiful little coloured maps, very carefully executed, divided according to the treaty of peace in 1815, and exhibiting the latest discoveries in the Northern Seas and the interior of Africa, for the trifling sum of eighteen pence I Can there be anything conceived cheaper than this ? Three-pence for a coloured map of Eu rope, and two-pence for a plain one I—for we forgot to say that plain copies may be had at one-third the cost of the coloured. The whole work is to be completed in twelve monthly parts, each part to contain six maps, forming a complete atlas of ancient and modern geo graphy, so portable that it may be carried in the pocket without inconvenience. We understand that it has cost the publisher upwards of a thousand pounds to prepare the original designs for this excellent little pub lication. We cordially recommend it to the public, both for its own sake, and that of the useful know ledge which it is intended and well adapted to inculcate. THE ANTISEPTIC MANUAL ; Or, the Art and Mystery of Preserving every Description of Alimentary Substance, Animal and Vegetable, for any length of time, for domestic use, foreign consumption, on long Voy ages, or in hot climates. London : Joseph Thomas, Finch- lane. Price One Shilling. A work indispensably necessary to all sea-Captains, drysalters, and provision merchants ; and a most useful one to private families. The instructions contained in it respecting salting, pickling, and preserving are so plain and familiar, that a mere child would understand them ; and the directions for making sauces, different kinds of punch, and for preserving fruits, cannot be mistaken by any housekeeper of common intelligence. To families in the habit of killing and preserving meat for their own table, we know of no work more deserving of notice. THOMAS'S TOWN AND COUNTRY ALMANAC FOR 1835. J. Thomas, Finch-lane. This is the best sheet Almanac we have seen for the present year. The mass of useful information con tained in it is most extraordinary, and the arrangement is on the best possible scale for rendering the work of reference that of a moment. The cost, too, is literally nothing—only three-pence. 7ihe list of town and country bankers is admirably arranged, and very cor rect throughout. Let the public only look at this sheet Almanac, and having compared it with any published before the abolition of the stamp duties, in form us what might not be hoped from the public press were it too relieved from the shackles which now restrain its giant energies. SPAIN. AUTOGRAPH LETTER OF lIER IMPERIAL MAJESTY THE DUCHESS OF BRAGANZA TO HER MOST FAITHFUL MAJESTY THE QUEEN. " Madam—Your Majesty having done me the kindness to communicate to me that you have just sanctioned the project of law, by which the two Legislative Chambers, in conse quence of the proposal made to them by your Majesty's Go vernment, have in so delicate a manner corresponded to the noble frankness with which your Majesty's august father and my lamented husband recommended me and his dear children to the generosity of the Portuguese nation ; my first feeling is to thank your Majesty, your Majesty's Government, and through its medium the two before mentioned Legislative Chambers, for this new royal and national demonstration of affection so solemnly given to the memory of the Duke of Braganza, in the endowments conferred upon me and my be loved daughter, still an infant, the Princess Donna Maria Amelia. " Another feeling, not less natural, and which appears to me proper in the widow of the Commander-in-Chief of the Liberating Army, prompts me also on this occasion to re quest of your Majesty the necessary permission, in order that the Governor of the Asylum of Military Invalids, founded in Runa, and opened in the first days of the reign of my august husband, by the Princess Donna Maria Francisca Benedicta, your Majesty's august aunt, and, like myself, widow of a Prince idolized by the nation, and so prematurely snatched away from the love of the Portuguese, a princess whose Christian resignation, enlightened piety, and genuine philan thropy, I shall much desire to imitate; may be authorized to receive the annual sum of two contos of reis, of which, from the present time, and during my life, I make a donation to that equally useful and patriotic establishment, for the purpose of gaining admission for some of the military invalids who have served in the liberating army, and are in such circum stances as the judicious regulations of that asylum require. " And if, in addition to this authorization, your Majesty should also approve of granting me that of exercising the functions of Procuradora Officiosa of that useful and pious establishment, I shall have farther to thank your Majesty for the opportunities which this situation will offer me of testify ing in how lively a manner I participate in the gratitude of the country towards the well-deserving companions in arms of my regretted husband.—l am, Madam, your Most Faithful Ma jesty's affectionate mother, sister, and cousin, " DONNA AMELIA, Duchess of Braganza. " Palace of the Necessidades, Dec. 17, 1834." THE DUKE OF LEucHTENBERG.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Leuchtenberg and suite visited the Tower yesterday morning. The troops were under arms in the quadrangle, and on the arrival of his Royal Highness the band struck up the Portuguese Constitutional anthem, the men with presented arms. His Royal Highness appeared highly pleased with the armoury, which is considered the finest in Europe, containing upwards of six hundred thousand stand of arms placed in different devices. His Royal High ness also visited the Horse Guards, the British Museum, Westminster Abbey, the Thames Tunnel, the St. Katharine Docks, Messrs. Storr and Mortimer's, &c. His Royal High ness returned the visits of the Cabinet Ministers, and of all the noblemen and gentlemen who have called at the Clarendon. The various Ministers of the corps diplomatique have called at the Clarendon to pay their respects. Among them were the Spanish, French, Austrian, and American Ministers. Yester day his Royal Highness received an address from the POI Ill guese residents in London, headed by M. Vanzeller, the Con sul, to which his Royal Highness delivered an answer in Por tuguese, in which language he is a proficient. This day the Duke of Wellington and his Royal Highness leave town for Brighton a visit to their Majesties, and at the latter end of next week his Royal Highness will take his departure for Lisbon, to join his Royal Consort, Queen Donna Maria. sort. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JAlSTiji.ir 15, 1835. DORSETSHIRE ELECTION. (Abridged from the Sherborne Journal.) _ Dorchester, Jan. 13. The election for the County of Dorset took place in Dor chester on Tuesday; and there being only three candidates proposed, Lord Ashley, the Hon. W. F. Ponsonby, and C. Sturt, Esq., were duly returned. The Hon. Members are all closely connected with the Earl of Shaftesbury by marriage and descent, and bear the affinity of cousins. Notwithstanding this, however, the people of Dorsetshire gained a memorable triumph on Tuesday. There were, perhaps, three thousand persons present, who had congregated, not by any previous understanding, but by the mere desire to gain political infor mation ; and we will venture to affirm, that at the very least two-thirds of the hearers cheered every closing sentence that fell from the liberal speakers. Another great point was also achieved ; the voice of the people was heard on the hustings of the county. The aristocracy of Dorsetshire, who have always taken these election matters into their own hands, found those by their sides who belonged to, and who had sprung from the people—asking them what were their preten sions to the honours which they sought? Henceforward may the people of Dorsetshire maintain their position of Tuesday. On adjourning to the Hall, another victory on the popular side, most flattering to ourselves, occurred. The Hall was crowded : the Magistrates' Bench was lined with the old gentry. The " pomp and circumstance of war" was never more stiff. A vote of thanks was as deservedly as it was generously and eloquently given to the Sheriff by Lord Ashley, seconded by Mr. Sturt, and received with gene ral applause. Some gentleman, who has our most sincere thanks and warmest gratitude, rose and proposed three cheers then for the Sherborne Journal; and no sooner was it given than it was taken up at every end ; and only conceive, readers, the walls of the Magistrates' Hall, in the midst of the Tory town of Dorchester, re-echoed with the flattering cheers offered for a distant Paper, which, for six years, had been fighting the cause of the People against the very men who stood in array along the Bench in celebration, as they would persuade them selves, of the triumph of the day, in having returned two Tories against one Whig. Mr. FARQUHARSON proposed the Right Hon. Lord Ashley. Sir EDWARD BAKER seconded Mr. Farquharson's proposition. Sir WILLIAM OGLANDER nominated the Hon. William Fran cis Ponsonby. G. T. JACOB, Esq. seconded the nomination. Mr. CALcaArr proposed Henry Sturt, Esq. - FYLER, Esq., seconded the nomination. Mr. JOHN PENNY then presented himself to the notice of the freeholders, and said he should desire to know whether the candidates were of the old or the new school, whether they were the Reformers who had been striving for the rights and liberties of the people, or whether they were of that genus and description which Sir Robert Peel had so recently brought into active life—( Laughter and cheers.) Perhaps on this ap propriate occasion, in face of the county, and in the presence of their constituents, they would state explicitly what were their notions of Reform as respecting our great national in stitution, the Church. Again, they would perhaps state what were their notions as to the exclusive privilege of the universi ties, and also, as to the interminable and unsettled question of commuting the tithes. Would they favour us with their opinions on these topics, or were they so enamoured of reform as to fall within the embracing arms of Sir Ro bert, and declare themselves ready to introduce a care ful review over all our institutions, Civil and Ecclesias tical !—( Assent from Mr. Start.) He expected all this from the hon. candidate, who expressed a willingness to lend Sir Robert his powerful aid in this vast undertaking. He stood there advocating the cause, and defending the rights of the people, and to no man would he give place, whatever may have been the usages of the county ; to no man, however rich, would he move back from lending his aid in this great and prosperous cause.—( Considerable applause.) Mr. BROWN rose and said : We are this day met to elect proper representatives. I have a few questions to put to two of the candidates. lam not afraid to declare that, as a Pro testant Dissenter, I have grievances, for which in the name of justice, I demand a remedy, taking for my authority the Head of the Church, and on the ground of inspired truth. I ask the Noble Lord what he means to do with the Right Rev. Bishops, four-and-twenty, all in a row, making laws for ye ? —( Off, off.) I won't be off yet, I can tell you. I mean to to ask him what he intends to do with the Church rates ? whether he means to make me pay for the wine and bread with which he celebrates the Lord's Supper ?—( Groans, hisses, and cheers)—for the candle-light of their sacred edi fices ?—whether I am to pay for washing their clergymen's surplices ?—( Laughter and hisses.) I mean to ask him whe ther our offspring are to be debarred from the privileges of the Universities because they will not swear to the Thirty nine Articles, which a certain Bisnop has declared there is no occasion for understanding ?—whether he will deny me the privilege of interring my own friend after the dictates of my belief?—whether he will interfere with the joys of a bridal morning ?—what is his opinion respecting Dissenters' bap tismal registration ?—and whether he will give us what it will not be in the power of any one much longer to resist?— (Continued uproar. ) The Members then returned thanks, but said not one word in answer to the question which had been put. ELGIN DISTRICT OF BURGHS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—We understand that Colonel Sir Alexander Ander son, of Palrfiers-cross, near Elgin, has started for the repre sentation of the Elgin District of Burghs. The Colonel's well known political integrity and extensive information upon public affairs, well qualify him for the honour he aspires to, and give him a strong claim to the support of every elector haying the good of his country at heart, particularly at this time, when the proceedings of a misguided faction threaten our country with destruction. Though late in the field the gallant Colonel, we learn, has every chance of success ; he is to be proposed by Mr. Cormie, of Elgin, a gentleman• of the greatest influence, and universally respected in that quarter.

A shot having been exchanged, Captain Cottingham again pressed for a retractation, which being still peremptorily re fused, the parties again fired without effect. On Mr. Jacob's proceeding to load the pistols for a third shot, Captain Cot tingham walked his friend off the ground, and the affair thus terminated—happily without bloodshed. DUBLIN, JAN. 13. (FROM OUR OWNCORRRSPONDRNT.) The character of Irish contested elections, and of the party at present agitating the country in favour of a Tory Ministry, may be known by the principal occurrence of this day. The Lord Mayor of the city of Dublin, Conservator of the Peace, &c., &c., challenged Mr. Ruthven, candidate for the representation of the city, to deadly combat, and the challenge was accepted. They have fought ; and though two shots were fired by each, I rejoice to say the event has terminated otherwise than might have been anticipated from the furious frenzy which originated the conflict. As far as I have been able, amid the varied rumours afloat, to collect information, the following are the leading facts which led to this extraordinary encounter :—A placard had been posted up in conspicuous parts of this city, signed Perrin— the name of our present peace-preserving Chief Magistrate— and stating, that Mr. Ruthven was not qualified by property to be one of the representatives of Dublin. Mr. Ruthven took occasion, after seeing the placard so signed, to say in effect, " that whoever was the author of such a publication, he had published a falsehood." lam informed by different persons, that this is, in substance, the amount of the provocation which induced the Lord Mayor to send a challenge. With this ex ception, the election for the city is proceeding with the greatest order and good humour. The Conservatives are likely to have a majority on this day's poll, owing to the following cir cumstances :—The Freemen voters are mostly in their favour, and there is little difficulty or delay in receiving their votes ; and O'Connell was to-day absent from the scene of struggle, being engaged at Kilmainham, where the candidates for the county have been put in nomination. But his presence to morrow and following days, will give a different turn to the hopes of the faction. Another circumstance this day against the Reform candidates, is the fact of their being served by voluntary agents, so numerous as to impede each other's exer tions, while the opposite party have their men all well paid and drilled for the occasion. It is well known that no other pre paration on the part of O'Connell and Ruthven has been made, than appeals to public opinion through the newspapers ; while on the other hand, their opponents have been canvassing, and marshalling the electors in their favour for some days. The hatred of Tory principles, however, and the spirit of Reform, are becoming so prevalent, that no doubt is entertained of the triumph of the latter. In the mean time the country is doing its duty. Mr. O'Loghlen, the ex- Solicitor-General, is returned for Dun garvan, and M. O'Connell for Tralee, notwithstanding the efforts of a Beresford to supersede public opinion in the former place, and a desperate Tory struggle in the latter. I should have stated that since three o'clock the Reform electors are gaining ground very fast, i and diminishing the ma jority obtained by the Conservatives n the morning. DUBLIN CITY ELECTION. Abridged from the Dublin Evening Packet of Tuesday.) Yesterday, at a few minutes before ten o'clock, the High S aeriffs, with their Assessor, Henry West, Esq., took their seat upon the bench at the Sessions House, Green- street, and having given directions for the doors to be thrown open, a tre mendous rush was made, and in a few minutes every portion of space hi tharnot very spacious building become occupied. Mr. O'Connell, upon entering, was loudly cheered, as were likewise the Lord Mayor, the Right Hon. Mr. Saurin, the Rev. Mr. Boyton, Mr. Hamilton, the candidate, Sir R. Shaw, and George Moore, Esq., ci-devantrepresentative for the city, and several others. At a few minutes after ten Mr. Sheriff Hyndman arrived, and was received with loud cheers. JOHN POWER, Esq., then proposed Daniel O'Connell, Esq., of Merrion-square, as a fit and proper person to represent the city of Dublin in Parliament.—( Loud cheering from Mr. O'Connell's friends. ) Mr. MARTIN, a member of the Trades' Political Union, a carpenter, seconded the nomination. C HRI STOPHER FITZSIMON, Essq._, proposed Mr. Ruthven. Mr. SLEVIN (of the Trades' Union) seconded the nomina- tion. The LORD MAYOR then rose auddst deafening plaudits, and said—Mr. Sheriff, as Chief Magistrate pf this city I feel proud in presenting myself to your notice day , et as it affords me an opportunity of proposing Mr. West at a and proper person to represent you in Parliament.—( Cheers.) Sir ROBERT SIIAW seconded the nomination. Mr. SAURIN then rose and proposed Mr. George Alexander Hamilton.--( Loud cheering.) GEORGE MOORE, Esq. seconded the nomination.—[Mr. Moore was here interrupted by a person in the front of the gallery.) Mr. O'CONNELL—(directing his voice towards the place from whence the interruption proceeded. )—Silence, you calf. (Laughter. ) Mr. O'CONNELL presented himself amid loud cheers, min gled with hisses ; the applause and disapprobation continued for several minutes ; as soon as it had subsided he said—l now desire you to recollect what my conduct has been in Par liament ; and I ask you now if there is any Conservative who has a fault to find with any vote of mine, recollecting what my principles are, whether I have been guilty of any fault to wards them—recollecting what my principles are since I went into Parliament.—l put it to you. Mr. J. J. BUTLER—Since you put it to us thus—l say, yes —you have opposed the Church.—( Hear and cheers. ) Mr. O'CONNELL—I am much obliged to Mr. Butler, but if he had heard the manner in which I put the question, he would have found his objection unfounded. My principles were avowed then as well as now. Whether, I ask, consistently with my principles—remember I speak of my principles—l have acted ungenerously towards any of you ? The Rev J. B. M'CREA—You have, to the Church.— ( Hear, cheers, and laughter. ) Mr. O'CONNELL—I am told that the objection against me is my conduct against the Church ; and who is it puts that ob jection ? A worthy gentleman who does not belong to that church at all, no more than I do, and who has, what he cer tainly is quite entitled to, a little church of his own—( Hear, and laughter.) I have said before, that I have met this ob jection, which only came from a gentleman not belonging to his church ; and now so far from voting against what that worthy gentleman should call his church, for he is a Protestant Dissenter, that I voted for the Protestant Dissenters upon every occasion. I will say more, too, in his presence. This is the hand which drew up the petition, which was the imme diate precursor of the emancipation of the Protestant Dissen ters of England. I think that the Protestant Church, as far as relates to spirituals, ought to be as extensive as the Pro testants in Ireland choose. There has been nothing disrespect ful in my e ppinions of the Protestant church. I sincerely and candidly respect the opinions of others, as in the purity and in tegrity of my own religious opinions I am fixed and determined. —( Hear.) Now that I have got over the Church, is there, I ask, any other complaint to be made against me ?—( Cheers. ) I say to you, Orangemen, that there is no man amongst you who has done so much good to an Orangeman as I did. I found the Deputy Grand Master of the Orangemen—and he was one I had not much reason to admire, for ho could throw off and put on his surtout as well as some others who shall be name less.—(pointing to Alderman Smith, amid loud laughter.) He could put it on and take it off when he pleased.—(Laughter ) Remember that, in my scat in the House of Commons, I d f fered fairly from the principles of Orangemen—( Hear)—and I bless God for this—that here am I, a decided Roman Catholic —and finding that the Whigs would have done him an in justice, as they did to so many more—( Hear, hear) —finding that they were about to turn off an old public servant, and, with his large family, to starve—he came to me, and asked me whe ther I would oppose him ? I said to him—send me your pa pers, and I will then tell you whether I will oppose you or not. He sent me the papers ; and I assure you the tears came into my eyes when I took him by the hand, and told him that not only would I not oppose him, but that I considered he had a just, an honest, and a conscientious claim ; and that any support which I could give I would be proud to afford him ; and, gentlemen, I tell you this, that but for my aid lie would not have got one farthing. I appeal for the truth of this to Mr. Lefroy, who was my colleague in that affair, and who assisted me powerfully by his talents. To my Hon. Friend I appeal as to this fuct, for with him I succeeded with the Adminstration ' • and Alderman King has 2 , 5001 . at the present moment.—( Hear, hear.) Ido not canvass your votes ; but I canvass your good humour.—( Cheers.) And I beg of you, and ask of you as men, and as Irishmen—for we are all Irishmen—there is no man amongst you who does not claim to be an Irishman, who is not proud of being an Irish man—and after all, does not the name of Irishman throb as warmly in your breasts as in mine, and would you not wish to see Ireland _ vvv " Great, glorious, and free, First flower of the earth and first gem of the sea." —(Cheers and laughter.) All we differ about is as to the manner, but the object is the same that we have both in view. I have been received with much good humour by everybody but the Lord Mayor.—( Hear.) Now, I heartily forgive him. He suggested in rather gross terms, and rather familiarly described, what an obligation is annually conferred upon me by the Irish people.—( Hear.) It has been said that patriots have found the popular feeling to fall away, and at the end of their career to declare that patriotism was but a name.—( Hear) I am a splendidid example—not my self, but my country—of the fidelity with which it is attached to me. I never yet read of a patriot whom the people threw off, that the cause could not be traced to some desertion of that principle on which he originally stood forward. The present Monarch I conceive to be surrounded by bad councillors. The dissolution of Parliament and change of his servants was nothing but the exercise of constitutional princi ples and of the Royal prerogative—but the Ministers are nevertheless responsible. I require no man's vote but of the man who stands with me and the party of the movement. I do not truckle about civil and religious liberty, and I do say, that I belong to the movement party. What name will the other party take? Let it be Conservative.—(Cheers.) That will not offend ears polite, but I deny its application to be just. I myself am the real Conservative, because I preserve every thing valuable to the attainment of civil and religious liberty. I admit I am a Destructive, because I would destroy every abuse, however minute, until I purged the social system, firmly and determinedly, of every thing that obscures its light, until it would become as bright as the sun on a summer's day at noon, without a speck to prevent its warming and vivifying the nation.—( Cheers.) Electors of the city of Dublin, I stand betOrt; . you as the advocate of complete and total freedom of conscience. I would not have any man compelled to pay the clergy of another religion, because I think that as long as that system continues, there cannot be freedom of conscience. I am a lawyer, in the habit of weighing reason and argument, and my conviction is, that reason and argument are both in favour of the religion I profess. I would not profess it, if I did not believe it. Many years ago, it would have been at tended with no small advantage tome, could I but persuade my self that the faith I profess was not the true faith ; and now that the grave is near me, I shall not trifle with the awful truths of my religion. In the sincerity of that conviction, I believe that my religion wants not the help of muskets, bayonets, or tithe-proc tors. Return me to Parliament, and pronounce in favour of your own nationality. If I succeed to the utmost of my wishes, as I hope I shall, it would be in the conserving of the present institutions of Ireland. lam for the Repeal—sink or swim, live or die, I am for the Repeal.—( Loud cheering - .) I have abused many men in my life, heartily and well, and,, Heaven knows ! many have abused me.—( Laughter.) I ap peal to you, Sir, whether you ever knew a fellow who has been more abused, and yet here I am, as fat, as merry, and as well as ever, devoted to old Ireland—my first and sole objact her li berty and prosperity.—( Cheers.) Yes, lam a kind of tem poral idolater—my mind swells, and my bosom rises--humble and insignificant as I am—when I am struggling, as I have been hitherto, for the restoration of the independence of Ire land.—( Cheers.) In that struggle I will succeed.—(Mr. O'Connell sat down amid enthusiastic cheers.) Mr. RUTHVEN—Mr. Sheriffs and Gentlemen, be assured there is no man less disposed to interrupt your friends than l am ; but I only ask from you a continuance of that course hi therto pursued. Mr. Ruthven then proceeded to characterise the words of a placard which had been posted through the town, and stated that what was contained in it was a lie.— ( Uproar.) He knew not who Arthur Perrin was, but hoped he was not the Lord Mayor. The placard stated that Mr. S. Ruthven did not possess a legal qualification. This was a falsehood. The law required a certain qualification. A person had signed his name to a document, stating that he (Mr. R. ) did not possess one, and he (Mr. Ruthven) was ready to swear that what was set forth in the placard was a lie—( Cheers and uproar)—and therefore that Arthur Perrin had put his name to a falsehood.—( Cheers. ) When he (Mr. Ruthven) had been returned at the last election, though comparatively a stranger, yet he was no stranger in Ireland.—(Cheers.) He had been in three Parliaments, and his conduct showed that he was always in favour of the best interests of Ireland— ( Cheers)—and if sent there again he would act as he had hi therto done, representing the feelings and sentiments of those who returned him. He sought to leave behind him a cha racter in Dublin which would not bring disgrace on himself or his family.—( Hear, and cheers.) He was above prostitu ting the office of Magistrate, for the purpose of indulging in gross malignity.—( Cheers.) If he had done so, he would not screen himself under the protection which office afforded. —( Cheers.) Sheriff HYNDMAN stepped forward and said—Gentlemen, Mr. West is the candidate in rotation. He, I am sorry to say, is prevented by indisposition from attending. FREDERICK SHAW, Esq., M. P., then presented himself. Every person in the Court-House had heard the unjust—the unjustifiable observations made upon the worthy and esteemed Lord Mayor.—( Hear, tear.) He (Mr. Shaw) held in his I-and a printed notice, preps: ed and approved of by Counsel, taking proper legal objections to a candidate who may not possess a proper qualification ; and this notice, a mere mat ter of legal form, was made the pretence of making such an attack as all present had heard upon the respected Chief Ma gistrate of this city.—( Cheers and uproar.) He appeared there as a representative of his respected friend, Mr. West— ( Hisir, hear)—and he was sure that whatever the political opinions may be of those who heard him, all would deplore the cause of Mr. West's absence, which had confined him for the last three weeks to bed—a serious accident--( Hear,)— but the electors of Dublin had Mr. West's address before them, and he was sure that all would allow that address was not more remarkable for the excellence of style, than for the tem perate, firm, and manly assertion of the writer's pelitical prin ciples.—( Loud cheers.) In his (Mr. Shaw's) opinion, a re peal of the Union would amount to a dismemberment of the empire.—(Cheers and uproar.) He wished that the gentry of the country were permitted to join in ameliorating the con dition of the country, and that the people were not taught to hope for accomplishing that which was impossible.—( Hear.) Mr. O'Connell had that day defined liberty, and he said it consisted of perfect justice, and entire security of every man in property and in life. Would to God we had such liberty in Ireland !—( Cheers.) I would ask you, solemnly, is that liberty enjoyed by those who do not follow Mr. O'Connell's advice ?—( Cheers.) Is that the liberty those who are go verned by his advice allow those who differ from them ? ( Cheers.) We heard Mr. O'Connell to-day raise a fervent prayer to heaven in favour of the dead. Did he say one word in favour of, or is it his habit, to protect the living ?—( Loud cheers.) We heard much of the blood-stained impost of titnt z. and much was said of the widow and the orphan. He (Alt. Shaw; deplored as much as any body the sacrifice of hu man life that had occurred ; but it ought to be re membered that those who . 4 2.11 met their fate owing to their resisting the law.—( Hear, heals.) But Mr. O'Connell did not say one word respecting the murdfn - of an infirm old man (Mr. Foote) who was eighty years of age. He would implore every moderate man at the present crisis to layaaside non essentials and combine in the cause of property ant, Good go vernment against anarchy. He himself was ready at this ttlec tion to support any man of high character and moderate politics'. Mr. HAMILTON said—Gentlemen, I come forward on this oc casion, because I feel that the present is the crisis of the fate of the British empire—because I foci that the question involved in the issue of these elections is not one merely between Whi g and Tory, not whether one class of ind ividuals or another is to have the reins of Government—but that it really is a question be tween the Monarchy and the democracy —whether the mo narchical form of government is to be retained,or a democrati cal form of,GoYernment established—( Uproar. ), It is far from my intention to impute to Mr. O'Connell and the movement party any fixed design of subverting the Monarchy, for that would be treason on their part, but I do say that the public conduct they pursue is necessarily calculated, whether they mean it or not, to overthrow the Monarchy, and to establish a republic on its ruing. With regard to the question of tithes, I can only say that I shall be Ilappy to see such an arrangement made as may be founded upon good policy and justice, pre serving, however, inviolate the integrity of the property of the Church. The Sheriff then put the question, and t.;21 a show of hands, the High Sheriff declared that it was in tayour of Messrs. O'Connell and Ruthven. A poll was demanded on behalf of the other candidates, and the Court adjourned at hah:-past four o'clock until next morning. STATE OF THE POLL THIS DAY. Quarter to Four o'clock. Majority for the Conservatives, 85. SOUTH WARWICKSHIRE ELECTION. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ) This day 0 , 'cdnesday) the two candidates, Sir John Mor daunt (Tory), and E. Sheldon, Esq. ( Whig), with a large party of the most influential gentlemen and freeholders of the southern division of Warwickshire, assembled at the County hall, where a spacious platform was erected for the speakers. About eleven o'clock, after the King's 'proclamation had been read for the return of two knights to serve in Parliament, and the statute against bribery and corruption, the Hon. Charles Bertie Percy proposed Sir John Mordaunt as a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament.—( Cheers from the Tories, but hisses and groans from the Reformers.) This no mination was seconded by William Dickins, Esq. (of Chering ton), who endeavoured with great emphasis to set forth the claims of the worthy Baronet to their support.—(Considerable disapprobation.) Edward Bolton King, Esq., Member for the Borough, next proposed Edward Sheldon, Esq., of Brailes. The Hon. Member being well acquainted with the character of Mr. Shel don, spoke in the most unequivocal terms of his qualifications, and the assembled multitude, which consisted of not less than 5,000 persons, made the spacious hall to reverberate with their applause. This nomination was seconded by Major West, of Foxcote, in a very appropriate address. After they had been declared duly elected, Sir John first returned thanks, and stated that his principles were embodied in Peel's Manifesto, addressed to his constituents at Tamworth. So much for Sir John 1 Mr. Sheldon then came forward, and in an open, manly, and candid speech, declared the purposes of his mind. Although he would not pledge himself at present to support the ballot, he fully convinced the liberal electors that he would act in unison with their sentiments on all questions of vital importance in the present state of public affairs. No other candidate being proposed, Sir John and Mr. Sheldon were chaired through the principle streets of the town, and afterwards retired—one to the Warwick Arms, and the other to the Swan Hotel. DUBLIN. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. I send you, this post, a copy of this day's vening Post, containing an account of the proceedings at our election yes terday—also an account of a duel, this day, between the Lord Mayor ( Alderman Perrin) and Mr. Ruthven, ex-M.P. In addition to the particulars stated, I have to acquaint you that the Lord Mayor, to enable him to require satisfaction of Mr. Ruthven, for the expressions made use of by him yesterday in addressing the electors, formally resigned his office, and ap pointed Sir J. K. James his locum tenens. The Alderman sent for his friend, Capt. Cottingham (the Secretary of the Con servative Society), to demand either a retractation or apology from Mr. Ruthven, who declined either, and named Ebenezer Jacob, Esq. (ex-M.P. for Dungarvan) as his friend. The result !was, as stated—" a meeting." However, the Evening Post does not go the full length—one of the Alderman's balls having passed through Mr. Ruthven's hat. On the second shot being fired, Capt. C. advanced to Mr. Jacob, and again required an apology, with equal success. Mr. J. replied, he and his friend came to the ground to fight, not to apologize, and they were ready to remain as long as their opponents pleased ; whereon Capt. C. returned to the Lord Mayor, and after a consultation, their party left the ground. Thus this bloodless affair ended. Mr. Ruthven wore his hat at the Court-house, and the nar row escape he had was the general subjoct all day. This cir cumstance will be of material service to the Liberal interest, and tend much to turn the election. The majority this day must not be looked on as decisive. The Conservatives have made tremendous exertions, while their opponents have Ind every difficulty thrown in the way—administering the bribc.y oath, tic.c., coupled with a scarcity of magistrates. To-morrow you shall have a further account. I'll keep this open to the latest second, to send the poll as declared by the Sheriff. I hope to be in time for the post. O'Connell Ruthven West Hamilton •• ... 886 .... 882 .... 862 (ANOTHER ACCOUNT.) AFFAIR OF HONOUR.-THE LORD MAYOR AND E. S. RUTHVEN, ESQ. In consequence of a placard, generally circulated yesterday through town, bearing the signature of Arthur Perrin and others, alleging that Mr. Ruthven was incapable of qualifying as sitting Member for the City of Dublin in case of his return, Mr. Ruthven, when addressing the electors yesterday, con tradicted the statement of the placard in terms of the " strongest nature," in consequence of which the Lord Mayor, through his friend, Capt. Cottingham ' demanded at eight o'clock this morning a retracted= of Mr. Ruthven's expressions. M. MONMOUTH, JAN. 13. The victory is ours! The Tory leviathan is defeat ed, and Mr. Hall is again elected. This is the greatest victory obtained in this grand struggle for liberty. The powQrful interest of the Houses of Ragland and Tredegar has been vain against the voices of an honest people. So uncertain was the victory, that Mr. Hall's friends at New port left the hustings with the impression that he had been defeated ; and Mr. Protheroe addressed them from the steps of the Westgate Inn, recommending them to retire in peace, and bear their disappointment like men. Just at that moment, the hustings broke down with a vast number on it, by which accident one man was killed and a great number seriously injured. At Monmouth and Usk, all was conducted without an accident ; and at all places the peace was well preserved. The friends of Mr. Hall dine toge ther at the King's Head to-morrow. Words cannot express the excitement and joy of Mr. H.'s friends. Hall (R). Bailey (I'.) Monmouth 94 192 Newport 314 164 Usk 2O 68 Total Majority for Mr. Hall -4 At the last moment, five honest Monmouth fellows came up and polled, which secured our election. Had this not been the case, we should have been beaten, which you will see by the state of the poll. An hour before closing the poll, we sent a dispatch to Newport, assuring our com mittee there, we could poll no more here. The news was received in Newport by the Tories with great joy, of course, and Mr. Bailey, sen., appeared on the hustings at the close of the poll, and thanked the people for having elected his son ; and paraded the town with flying colours—blue. But our second messenger from the close borough here made them all slink home terribly disappointed. Monmouth has been a Beaufort close borough for the last forty years. STRAND THEATRE. Colonel David Crockett turns out to be not nearly so imagi native_ an autqbiographer as he was at first supposed. Mrs. Waylett has presented to her audiences a practical refutation of the calumny in the person of a real, right-earnest Indian chief, whose name, as we cannot pronounce, we will not at tempt to spell, and have not time to transcribe, but whose Rifle Shot feat of bulleting an apple held between the fingers of a confiding friend, standing at a distance of some score of paces off, at once astonishes cockney sportsmen, and sadly dis parages the memory of William Tell. Some half dozen of the chief's own tribe appear in the what-shall-we-call-it composed as the vehicle for displaying his dexterity as a marksman, whose aboriginal dances and war-whoops are a serviceable commentary upon the details of Indian manners, about which many have read, but few have formed a just conception. Mrs. Nesbitt is still attached to this theatre ; the excellent acting and hilarious laughter of this lady are enough to keep people in a good humour for a week after see ing her. The travestie of Manfred is very droll, very clever, and bears the promise of continuing a favourite for some time to come. Mitchell is acting up to the reputation he has ac. quircd for himself, and that is saying a good deal; but what is to be said of pretty Miss Priscilla Horton, whom we desire to praise heartily, but for the fear of spoiling. The talents which this young aspirant possesses are of a very superior order, and judiciously cultivated, will raise her to an eminence in her profession far beyond that of second favourite at the Strand Theatre ; her imitation of Grisi is close, and her singing really charming. Little Oxberry pirouettes and capers about in a style alarmingly Italian. The combination of amusements at this elegant little theatre is at present de servedly attractive ; the undertaking ought to prosper, and it is prospering .)
