Colonel ' Keith, from arren'N Hotel, Regent-street, for Dunbar, N. B. DWARD STANLEY, Esq., then presented himself but e clamour was renewed tenfold. The snow had by this me thawed, and the field was covered with soft mud and clay some inches in depth. ThiS material was made up into balls, and hurled at the hustings, many of the missiles striking the Conservatives on :the face ; any successful bit was hailed with laughter and cheers by the great bulk of the crowd, though the Sheriff and many respectable gentle men warmly reprobated the attack. The clamour at length reached such a height that Mr. Aglionby, M.P. for Cockermouth, and cousin of the. gentleman nominated in the Liberal interest for the county, was compelled to in terfere, and beg a hearing, but for some time without effect. He at length went and stationed himself by the side of the speaker, hoping that he might thus avert the shower of missiles, but in vain--they still continued. Mr. STANLEY having gained a parti a l h ear i ng , com menced by an all us i on t o his conduct in the last Parliament. He voted for the abolition of negro slavery ; lie voted for a reform in the criminal code ; and he was ready to vote for a fair commutation of tithes. He voted against the Poor Law Bill, and for a repeal of the malt tax. He com plained that Major Aglionby did not appear to meet the freeholders, and that the address he had issued was so meagre and indefinite that no one could say from it what were his principles. He thought that it was the duty of the Major to be upon the hustings, and that if he asked the electors to vote for him, certainly it could only be proper for him to present himself at the hustings. He (Mr. Stanley) had no doubt of the result, and he could not understand what induced the opposition to be got up. Viewing the whole proceeding, he must take the liberty of calling the Major the Daniel O'Connell of Cumberland. (Here the uproar became tremendous, and at one time serious fears were entertained that a collision would ensue, but the Sheriff interfered, and order was in some degree at length restored. The remainder of Mr. Stanley's speech, however, was merely dumb-show). SAMUEL IRTON, Esq., next presented himself, and met with a similar reception. He made a very long address, in the course of which the Sheriff was repeatedly obliged to interfere. He declared himself of sound Conservative principles, and a supporter of the present Administration. H. A. AGLIONBY, Esq., M.P., for Cockermouth, ap peared to represent his cousin, the Major ,who was detained by a severe domestic calamity, the death of one of his child ren., His speech lasted nearly an hour ; after replying to the observations on the other side, lie proceeded to declare his cousin's opinions, which were most decidedly Liberal ; he was for an immediate Reform of all the abuses in Church and State; for doing away with the grievances of the Dis senters ; for opening the Universities to them ; for abo lishing all unmerited pensions ; and for an alteration of the Corn Laws. At the conclusion of Mr. Aglionby's speech, the Con servative candidates again presented themselves to ask questions, or to explain what had been advanced against them ; but they were again attacked with showers of mud, and could.not gain a hearing. Mr. SAMUEL 'RIGS,- of Abbey Holme, wished to ask Mr. Aglionby a question ; but he only got the word " Gen tlemen" out, when a large handful of mud struck him on the face, part of it going into his mou th. H e persevere d ; however, and was again bespatt ere d with sludge. Amid this scene of outrage, the High Sheriff came for ward, and declared his intention of taking a show of hands. This quieted them, and the show being taken, a majority of at least seven to one appeared for. the Major. , Mr, Irton had the second best show ; and accordingly the WESTERN DIVISION. The nomination of the candidates took place at Cocker mouth, on Saturday last ; the Members in the last Parlia merit were Samuel Irton and Edward Stanley, Esquires - - they are both Conservatives, and at the last election there was a strong contest, the majority being only Bt. The aht)ve two candidates 'were escorted into the town by a procession of gentry and yeomanry, in carriages and - on horseback, extending nearly half a mile. Their opponent, Major Aglionbv, did not appear" on the husti n g s; but hi s deputy, was 11; Esq., the Member for the borough of Cockermouth. It was computed that during the proceedings there could not be less than seven thousand persons on the ground where the hustings were erected. The HIGH SHERIFF, after the usual formalities, made a short and appropriate speech to the freeholders, requesting them to give a patient and impartial hearing to all the speakers. General PgAeillt, of Vickers Isle, Keswick, then pre sented himself, and was 'received by the Conservative party with cheers, and by the friends of Major Aglionby with 1 11:: . ,es and groans, which rendered his observations for some time inaudible, and ultimately some of the crowd gave more intelligible hints of their rancour. He said that owing to a melancholy occurrence in - the family of Mr. Senhouse, of Nether-hall, who formerly proposed Mr. Stanley, that gen tleman had not been able to come before them, and be (the General), therefore appe a r e d a t a very short notice t o re • commend a candidate to their suffrages. The gentleman he tttk3 about to nominate was one of ancient and honour able family—(Hissing, and cries of " What have we to do with ancient families here ?" and " What are his prin ciples.?"—one whom I an b oar test i mony as b eing con stant and vigilant in attendance in his office as a senator. —(Hooting, and cries of " We won't have him, he is Lord Lowther's tool.") That gentleman is the friend of his King and of his country ; his private conduct is equally amiable and benevolent.. (Cbeers.) I propose, therefore, Edward Stanley, Esq., of Ponsonby-hall.—(This nomina tion was received with cheers by the Conservative party, and with hisses ; hooting, and groans from their opponents ; at length, in the midst of the clamour, one of the crowd made up a snow-ball, and threw at the Geteral ; the ground being covered with snow, the example was imme diately followed, and kept up without intermission for some time, there being repeatedly thirty or forty balls in the air at once ; most of the Conservative party were singled out and assailed in this way, some of the balls containing hard missiles, which rendered them rather dangerous. The High Sheriff interfered, but in vain, and for some minutes all was uproar and clamour, which was only subdued for a brief interval by the speaker retiring to the back of the hustings.) Captain Inwax, of Calder Abbey, briefly seconded the nomination amid a volley of snow-halls, which compelled him at length to retire abruptly. Major LUTWIDGE, of Holm Rook Hall, nest came for ward and proposed Samuel Irton, Esq., as a fitting person to represent the freeholders in the exigencies of the p r e sen t times, 1-18 had s a t f or t wo sessions o the Reformed- Par iament—had shown himself indefatigable in his attendance —his principles were soundly constitutional—and if re urned again, he would b e f oun d, as b e f ore , i n the ranks of he reall - friends of their country ; and although he might change big side of the House, he would never change his opinions. He voted for the abolition of the malt tax, and for every measure calculated to help the people.—(Loud groaning and hisses, accompanied with a renewal of the snow-ball attack ; many of the balls striking the speaker in the face.) He would give his support to the Administra tion which his Majesty had called to support him, but lie was no bigot to any party. He was not prompted by per sonal ambition, but was called for by a large and distin guished- body of electors. (At this juncture a large ball, made of soft clay, was hurled at the speaker, and the crowd became so exceedingly outrageous that he retired at once, after briefly proposing Mr. Irton.) 'l'. A. Hosxrals, Esq., of the High, presented himself to second the nomination. He appealed to what Mr. Ir ton had done in Parliament. He was the friend of the farmer and of the poor, and he (Mr. H.) was convinced that the labouring classes would be no longer deluded by those preaching philosophers who were the authors of the Poor Law Bill—(Loud execrations, and cries of the To ries voted for it ; another shower of snow-balls stopped the proceedings for a time)--men who had liberty on their fingers, but iron despotism in their hearts. The farmers only asked for a relief from their long course of unexampled distress. Thanks to their gracious King, however, they were at last delivered f rom th a t a d inaastrat i on w hi c h had so long misgoverned the country, and in their place had called men to power who were ready and willing to support the British farmer's rights. He then spoke at some length in commendation of the Duke of Wellington, concluding by proposing three cheers for the Duke, which were given by the Conservative party, and responded to by three groans from their opponents.—(Another shower of snow balls saluted the Conservatives on the hustings.) He was convinced that the present Government were the only men who could save the country, and even though they might sustain a temporary defeat, he trusted they would not give up the reins of government hastily. He trusted that the Premier and the Duke of Wellington would not " Truit the.bark, and seek the shore, Though the winds whistle, and the tempest roar." (He was here interrupted by such loud execrations that his remarks became perfectly inaudible, even to those near him, and at length, evidently weary of' endeavouring to quell the uproar, he concluded abruptly.) Sir WILFRED LAW SON then presented Himself, and a perfect calm immediately ensued ; the crowd remained peaceable and quiet during his address. He referred at some length to the act of. the Tories, and the proceedings of the Whig Government, repelling with warmth the accu sation that Lord Melbourne, or his supporters wished to destroy the established institutions. They certainly wished to destroy the abuses, but they were anxious to preserve whatever was valuable in them. In that sense, therefore, they were entitled to the term Conservative. He con cluded by nominating Major Aglionby, of the Nunnery, as a proper person to represent the freeholders of that division of Cumberland. • Mr. SPEDDING, in a long address, seconded the nomina, tion THE VOCAL SOCIETY.

Loud and enthu siastic cheers followed the announcement of Mr. Townley's name, Mr. YORKE then stood forward, and was received with mingled cheers and interruptions. He regretted extremely the badness of the day, as unfavourable to the celebration of so great a triumph as the county had achieved on the present occasion —(Loud groans and cheers)—but he never theless congratulated the county on the gallant opposition which it had, in the contest for that triumph, offered to the republican doctrines which were lately attempted to be forced on the country.—(Cries of " No, no," and much groaning 9 Mr. EATON then stood forward, and was received with loud interruptions,' mingled with cheers. Now that the'po- Utica' contest in which they had been engaged was at an end, he hoped they would publish the protocol of peace. —( Hear, hear.) Mr. TOWNLEY (who was received with loud cheers) then came forward. As a supporter of the late Govern ment, he felt bound to state that he had no confidence in the newly formed Administration now holding the reins of government. In the meantime he expressed his per fect readiness to co-operate with those gentlemen who were now his colleagues, in support of every measure cal culated to benefit, not only that county, but the country in general. He would not, he was bound to state, from any factious or party motives. oppose any good measure which might be proposed by the present Administration.—(Ap-• plause.) Mr. HAWKINS then returned thanks in the name of his excellent friend Mr. Childers, who was absent. The business having terminated, Messrs. Yorke and Eaton were chaired through the town. Mr. Townley and the friends of Reform who supported him, amongst whom were George Pryme, Esq., M. P., Henry Gunning, Esq., Julien Skrime, Esq., George Ash ton, Esq., Ebenezer Foster, Esq„ &c. &c., dined together in the evening at the Red Lion, where the Hon. Member's committee sat during the election. EDINBURGH COUNTY ELECTION, DECLARATION OF VOTES. The crowd assembled this day (Jan. 17) at noon, in front of the hustings, was no less numerous than on the previous days. Sir George Clerk, the fortunate candidate, and Mr. William,Gibson Craig, took their places on the hustings a few minutes before twelve o'clock, and were received with immense cheering by their respective parties. The SHERIFF (Duff) declared Sir George Clerk elected Member of Parliament for the county. Sir G. CLERK stood forward, but could not obtain a hearing. Mr. GIBSON CRAIG entreated that Sir George should be heard, otherwise the party who supported him (Sir George) might endeavour to prevent any hearing on the opposite side. The noise and clamour, however, still con tinued, and Sir George proceeded to address the crowd, but he was heard only by those who were close to the hus tings. He said—Gentlemen, I congratulate my friends on the success which has attended their exertions in the cause, which is their's equally with mine. I congratulate my friends also on the general result of the elections that have been taking place in England, which shows that the Govern ment will be supported by many of those who, like your selves, have always been the firm and consistent friends of reform. I trust that ,the whole country will be inclined to give us a fair trial, and I have no doubt, that when the heat and excitement has passed by—when the pre judices that exist against us be dispelled, that you— the electors of Edinburgh—who are now opposed to us will give a verdict in our favour.—(Hear, hear.) L e t me address one word t o th e c iti zens of Edinburgh, to those of them who are not immediately connected with the county, who form so large a proportion of the meeting. I appeal to your liberality if you should not allow your brethren of the county the same liberty of choosing their representa tive as you had in choosing your's ? They have done so ; and I ask you have they not a right to their choiee of a Representative ? Although I am the Representative of the county, I beg to state to the citizens of Edinburgh that they will find me—although many of them differ from me in general political questions—ready to promote every mea sure that can conduce, in my estimation, to their happiness and the prosperity of the city. Mr. Wst. GIBSON CRAIG was received with tremendous and long-continued cheering. He said, Gentlemen, my honourable opponent bas said that ho congratulates himself and his supporters in the victory, as indicative of the con fidence of this county . on the views and measures of the present Administration. I am always unwilling to enter into topics which may be disagreeable, in any degree, to any man ; but I feel myself bound, both for the sake of the party to which I belong, and regard to the county and the country at large, to explain in some degree how the election has been lost.—(Hear.) My hon. opponent has boasted of his triumph in the county, his triumph in a majo rity of 28.--(Cheers.) Thirty-one votes are apparently in his favour ; but as three of those votes were given by ge n tl emen who had n o r i g ht to vo t e —(Ch eers ), his majority against me on the old roll of the paper voters, is .57 ; but of the new, and which is the real constituency of the county, there is a real majority in my favour.—(Hurrah.) If you are also to deduct the number of voters that have been made in Dal keith by properties being purchased by those who are not connected with the county, and some of them by the ser vants of a certain establishment, I say that the majority in my favour of the real constituency is still greater.—(Great applause.) But, Gentlemen, I beg you to recollect the manner in which I came'forward on this occasion. When I started, the canvass had been going on for three weeks. —(A cry of " Two years.") Preparations had been mak ing for it on the other side for two years previous, as was observed by some of my friends in the crowd ; while, until the day I commenced, not one vote had been asked, nor one arrangement of any description made, by me or my friends. The next day after I started, a requisition ap peared, with 480 signatures attached to it, calling on Sir George Clerk to come forward, as an active canvass had already commenced against him.—(Hear, hear.) Now, every man of those names had been obtained to this re quisition before any canvass had commenced, and many of them on the positive assurance that there was to be no canvass at all—no opposition to Sir George ; and many of them on the assurance that in signing that requisi tion, they were not pledging themselves to vote for the Hon. Gentleman, and other misrepresentations were made of a like nature ; and altogether I cannot help saying that I consider the proceeding in such a way most unfair towards the constituency thus to have their votes entrapped. To what extent, then, does the triumph of my hon. opponent go ? You, gent: emen, are aware, also, of the immense in fluence in this county which has• been working against me ; and you are aware that not the most unscrupulous use has been made of that influence.—(Cheering, and cries of " Bribery and corruption !") Public-houses have been opened in almost every village, and night after night, scenes of intemperance have been exhibited, which could not be beheld but with feelings of pity and disgust. This course of proceeding, 1 have objected to on every occasion. There was no precedent for it at the last election of my Hon. friend Sir John Dalrymple; and 1 have not followed the example set down by my opponents on this occasion.— (Cheering.) You are well aware that the moral character of the people in this country is one of the greatest boasts in Scotland ; and I hope that I never shall by any means do any act which s h a ll en d anger t h e i r morality. Mr. Craig retired amidst immense cheering. A vote of thanks was then given to the Sheriff, who re plied, when the assemblage dispersed With the utmost quietness WRECK OF A FISHING SMACK. For some weeks past considerable fears were entertained for the safety of the Thomas -and Caroline, a fishing -smack belonging to Barking. Ab out e i ght weeks ago she sailed from the Creek for the Dutch coast, commanded by John Bowers, her owner, and eight persons, four men and four boys, on board. In con sequence of her not returning in the usual time, and nothing being heard of her, it was generally feared that she had been wrecked, and that her crew had perished. These fears have within a few days been confirmed, as a part of her stores were picked up on the coast of Holland, and there is no doubt as to her total wreck. Mr. Bowers, the captain and owner, 11;s left a wife and four children to deplore his loss, and the other four men on board have left 12 other children, who, with their mothers, were solely dependant on them for their .support, fatherless.

Dewhurst, Esq.') read some interesting observations on the natural history and management of the Apis Mellifica, or common honey bee, wherein he detailed a plan of securing the honey without de priving the bees of life, and which is now generally adopted in the county of Suffolk, and originated with his father, the Rev. C. Dewhurst, at Bury St. Edmund's. It is as follows : The hive which is employed by this . gentleman is similar to the common one, but with an opening in the roof, of about four inches in diameter, with a moveable top, and which is pegged down during the period the bees are filling the hive. As soon as the hive is full, Mr. Dewhurst then carefully renaoves the top, (while the bees are absent) and then places a woooden box of about eight inches square in its place, and into which the bees work ; when this box i s f u ll o f h oney, it is re move d, and another substituted, and by repeating this process, , great quantitie s o f h oney may be yearly obtained, without the least loss or i n j ury to the community.—..county Chronicle, FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, JAN. 18.—A commercial letter from New York, of 24th December, received at Havre by the Rhone, says : —" Public opinion has totally changed with respect to the menaces of the President against France. He is now openly blamed. Nobody wishes for war, or thinks the national honour affected. It is to be hoped that this change will have its weight in the Congress." Letters from Washington, which have been comrnuni cated to us, and which are to the 12th of December, repre sent as unanimous and decided the good spirit of the Com mittee of Foreign Affairs, to which the message of the Pre sident has been referred ; that is, all those parts of it which properly come under the consideration of the committee. There is but one. opinion among prudent and clear-sighted men, and the most ardent partizans of the President do not know how to defend him, except by denying that his words bear the meaning which everybody else ascribes to them. He himself now says that he had no hostile inten tions in holding the language for which he is reproached ; which seems rather absurd to those who heard him before the sittinr , of 9th December. The Duke de_ Broglie has read his report to the com mittee of the project of the 360,000 francs. This report will be presented on Monday _to the Chamber of Peers. It proposes to adopt, without any modification, the project amended by the Chamber of Deputies. The Count de St. Aulaire arrived from Vienna a few • days ago ; he had an audience of the King yesterday. On his way home from Vienna, M. de St. Aulaire stopped two days at Manheim. It was generally reported in that city that he was commissioned to ask for the Duke of Orleans the hand of the Princess Mary, eldest daughter of Princess Stephanie Beauharnois, daughter of the Empress Jose phine, who married the Grand Duke of Baden, predecessor of the reigning Grand Duke. Princess Mary is 17 years of age. Yesterday morning Count Pozzo di Borgo had a very long conference with M. de Talleyrand. The Renovateur affirms that the discussions between the Cabinet of the Palais Royal and that of St. Petersburgh, respecting the sums due to Poland, are of a very serious nature. We do not find anything worth quoting in the scanty news from Spain, which the Southern journals bring us to day.—Messager, Jan. 18. GERMAN PAPERS. POLAND.—The Warsaw Journals begin the newyear v the following official article : " The insurrection in the year 1820, and the events which occurred in consequence, plunged the Ki ng d om o f Poland into the greatest misery. A devastating war laid waste whole provinces, the useful establishments were ruined, the faithful subjects, the servants attached to their legitimate Sovereign, suffered insult, p ersecut i on an d p ill age, and the most industrious classes of the people, the farmer, the manufacturer, fell as the innocent victims of evils which they had neither caused nor favoured. In consideration of this the actual state of things, as well as of care for the real interests of the country, which rests on a secure repro duction, without which the sources of revenue dry up, the Government exerted itself, as soon as legal order was re stored in the country, to find out means to support those ' who were the most in need of assistance. Animated by paternal solicitude, his Majesty the Emperor and King was Pleased to approve of every kind of assistance that could 'possibly be given. The following list gives a clear view of all the benefits whic'h the country has received during the last three years. Assistance granted to the inhabitants who were ruined by the war : Flor. Gr. 7,223,141 27 320,890 15 241,040 14 a In Money b In Corn c In Timber d In Licenses given gratis to invalids to keep pub lic-houses and manufacture liquors ... 2 Remuneration given by an ordinance of the Council of Administration from the Funds of the Insurance Office, as indemnity for the buildings burnt in the war 7,366,988 0 3 Value of the Cattle, &c. given to the inhabitants 2,549,142 24 4 Suspended Taxes 5 Interests and Rents suspended or divided into instalments 6 Penalties remitted 7 Fines for depredations in the forests committed during the rebellion, remitted 8 Indemnity to the farmers for feudal services not performed by the peasants during the war 9 Taxes remitted 10 Amount of Debts remitted to the Manufac turers 11 Assistance given to the Manufacturers 12 Assistance towards new buildings in the town 13 Payment of Government debts originating dur ing the Revolution 14 Assistance to Civil Officers who lost their places during the Revolution 15 Indemnity for losses sustained by Civil Officers during the Revolution 16 Payment of articles furnished for the Imperial Troops .... 406,200 0 808,594 1 462,850 12 1,648,438 24 1,000,000 0 951,372 21 559,448 0 1,254,724 4 339,750 4 125,000 0 171,669 2 1,564,218 25 2,496,615 0 Total Florins 33,538,601 20 Besides the above sum, pensions to the amount of a mil lion and a half have been granted to the victims of the re bellion, and a new fund of five millions has been assigned for the relief of those whose just claims have not hitherto been attended to. So many benefits lead the people to bless their august Sovereign ; and the Government has the consolation that notwithstanding . the disasters which the country has suffered, all the taxes are regularly paid, and that the public revenue not only does not diminish, but in creases, from year to year. VIENNA, JAN. B.—A part of the suite of the new Turkish Ambasssdor to London, Lavlekien Pasha, has already ar rived here. The Ambassador himself is expected in a few days.

PRINCE A ti ,..-USTUS OF PORTUGAL, DUKE OF LEUMITENBERG. Sir t:. Barnard, Clerk Marshal of the Household, and the P or t ugu es e - Minister ar e expecte d to re turn from escorting his Royal Highnes: to Falmouth by Fri day next. The Chevalier d'Almeida Darrell, Charge d'Affaires at Brussels, wen t ou t t o Li s b on by Ult.'. Falmouth packet last week to announc e th e a pp roac hi ng arr i val of the Prince, and will arrive there some days before the Monarch steam-packet with his Highness on board. The Count Mejem, who accompanies the Prince to Lisbon, was his Go vernor, and the Baron Billing will probably remain with him as his private secretary. The King took a most affectionate leave of the Prince at Brighton, and presented him with two of the finest horses in the Royal stud, and also with a superb gold snuff-box. His Highness expressed his thanks to Mr. Chaplin, of the Clarendon, for the superior accommodat ion afforded to him and his suite while he remained at the Hotel. DEATH OF LADY SUSAN LYGON.—We deeply lament to record the decease of this amiable Lady, which took place on Thursday, at Port Elliot, in Cornwall. Her Lady ship had long been in a declining state of health, but no serious apprehension of danger was entertained. The first intelli gence that Colonel Lygon received of the dangerous state of his Lady was conveyed in a letter, which was awaiting him on Friday at the Hop-pole Inn, on his return from the hustings. So alarming was the intelligence conveyed in the letter that the Honourable Gentleman instantly quitted the city, in the hope, which we lament has proved a vain hope, of yet seeing his amiable Lady alive.— Worcestershire Guardian. DEATH OF AN INDIAN PRINCESS.—Died on Sunday night, the favourite squaw of the Michegan Chief Makoonse, Chief of the Chippawa tribe, who has lately been exhibiting his skill in the use of the rifle at the Strand and Victoria Theatres. Consumption was the cause of her death, at the age of twenty-eight. - She was, for an Indian, a beau ful creature, possessed of a fine attractive figure, and a:fine Grecian face, and was the daughter of a French general officer, by an Indian princess. The purpose of the Chief, and his warriors, who accompany him, in coming to England, was to obtain a sum of money due from the British Govern ment, for a tract of land sold by the grandfather of the pre sent Chief ; he comes in right of his wife and self, as the land partly belonged to the tribe of which she was Queen. She was attended, on Sunday, by Sir Anthony Carlisle, who gave some hopes of her recovery, but the disease had taken too firm a root. She is to he temporarily buried (this day) at St. John's church, in the Waterloo-road, until her remains can be conveyed to her own country. The Chief Makoonse is in a state of distraction at his loss, prostrating himself upon the floor, and knocking his head with the greatest violence against the boards; and it is with the greatest difficulty that he can be prevented from laying violent hands upon himself: DREADFUL ACCIDENTS BY FIVE.—Two LIVES LOST.—Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a fine-grown young woman, named Ann Cooper, aged 18, died at the West- Minster-hospital in consequence of the severe and extensive injuries she sustained by her clothes accidentally catching fire on Thursday last. It appears that the deceased was house maid in the family of Mr. Gould, of No. 5, Stockbridge-ter race, Kensington, and on Thursday afternoon last was in the act of making some toast before the kitchen fire, when a blazing coal flew out of the grate into her lap and instantly set her clothes in flames, and before they could be extinguished the poor girl was so shockingly burnt that she was removed to to the hospital, where she lingered in extreme agony until death terminated her sufferings, the injured parts having mor tified. An inquest will be held on the body to-morrow.—Be tween six and seven o'clock on 'Sunday evening, a boy between five and six years of age, the son of a tradesman named Glaun, living in Peter-street, Westminster, was playing with a piece of lighted paper during the temporary absence of his parents from the room, and set fire to his dress ; he was most shock ingly burnt, and died soon after being carried to the hospital. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS A good deal of stress has been laid by certain news" papers upon what they thought proper to represent-. as a true version of Sir James Graham's speech at Carlisle, and sundry chuckles and other demonstra, tions of joy were indulged thereat, because of the sup posed proof which it afforded of the design of the Right Hon. Baronet to oppose Sir R. Peel's Cabinet through thick and thin, without the least reference to its measures. The chuckle was uncalled for. A copy of the speech, which we have reason to believe au thentic, appeared in the Carlisle Journal of last Sa , turday ; and we would recommend it to the perusal of such of our contemporaries as can derive a generous pleasure from seeing the rectification of their own mistakes. In the speech thus reported, which is of great length, Sir J. Graham takes occasion to de scribe the measures on which Lord Grey's Govern ment were agreed, as well as that relative to the Irish Church property whereon they agreed to differ, and on which Sir James Graham, with Lord Stanley, after wards resigned. The Right Hon. Baronet then pro ceeds to state his reasons for declining to join Sir Ro bert Peel's Administration, and to explain the course of action which he means to adopt towards the Right. Hon. Baronet and his colleagues. We should he glad to learn in what part of the following passages our candid brethren have found the materials of their prediction, that the speaker was at all hazards, and under all circumstances, to oppose the Conservative Ministry : " Well, then, it had been asked, bad he any confidence in Sir Robert Peel's Ministry? The best answer he could give to that question was his refusal to join it.—(Cheer ing.) And he must add this—that in his opinion its com position was as bad as it could possibly be, for it was en tirely composed of men to whom and to whose principles he had all his life been opposed.—(lmmense cheering.) Having said this, it was natural he should be asked, was he prepared to oppose that Ministry He would answer the question frankly. Not having unlimited confidence in the Ministry of Lord Melbourne, and not seeing his way very clearly after the breaking up of the present Ministry to the* formation of a better, he should not be inclined at once to agree to any motion for removing them. Although under ordinary circumstances, it was right to look to men as well as to measures, at the present moment it was right, and he should conceive it to be his duty, to look mainly to princi ples.—(Hear,) Those who said the present Government either would or could not bring forwald good measures, vastly underrated the value of the Reform Bill. Under that bill be would say that no Government could carry on its measures in defiance of public opinion.—(Cheers.) Whatever changes the sober and discreet part of his fellow countrymen deemed necessary, and should insist upon, must be made. For his own part, he thought that the present-. Government would be compelled to bring forward • good measures, and such measures s h ou ld h ave hi s support. But if they did not, if they attempted measures of another de scription, then he would oppose the Ministry at all riski and at all hazards."—(Cheers.) We find, on the contrary, a full and precise confir mation of all that we have ourselves affirmed as to the necessity under which the new Cabinet would find itself of bringing forward good measures. As to the stigma which was affixed upon the Reform Bill by those who doubted its efficacy in forcing popular mea sures upon any Government—as to the propriety of looking mainly to good measures, and the duty of supporting such—Sir James Graham also says, that not having placed much confidence in Lord Mel bourne's Ministry, and not seeing his way very clear:v as to what was to follow the breaking up of the present one, " he should not be inclined at once to agree to any motion for its removal. Throughout the whole of these observations, embracing as well his want of con fidence in particular men, as the importance he at taches to "measures, whatever quarter they proceed from, we entirely concur with Sir James .Graham, and with Lord Stanley, and with every other reasonable being who is not bound by the trammels of party.-- Times. The Tories rejoice in the returns which are daily made to the Commons' House of ParlOament—and let them rejoice as much as they can during the brief pe riod of their existence. It will be short enough. The returns recorded in this day's paper give an average of almost two to one in favour of the Reform interest ; and Ireland has yet to be numbered I To use the language of the Globe—" The returns from England are 23, of whom 15 are Reformers, and the remaining eight Tories. From Scotland we have 18 returns, the Reformers being in a proportion of five to one— fifteen to three—and from Ireland the returns are 24, of which only six, one-fourth, are Tories." One-half of these Reformers will be classed by the Tory papers as neutrals—that is, as Members who are for mea sures," and who will not oppose the " men" who propose them ; but they will be arrantly mistaken in their calculation. Those who are in favour of the most liberal " measures," are not, in consequence, in favour of the " men." Indeed the disgust which is universally felt at the determination of the Tory party to have and to hold power, not only in defiance of pub lic opinion, but in defiance of the principles which they have always professed, and on which they have always acted—is too much even for the most Conser vative Whig to swallow. Upon the Conservative Whigs the Tories calculate, as their last resource, in the hour of danger—but —we tell them in time—they " reckon without their host." There may be shades of difference—there may be a division of opinion on great and important questions—but there is no diffe rence—there is no division—there is no debate upon one point—and th a t i s , " D own w i th the Tories '— the enemies of the King—the enemies of the country. —Morning Advertiser. The election intelligence which we this day bring under the notice of our readers, is of the most cheerily; and triumphant description. In \Vest Kent Sir Wil liam Geary heads the poll on the first day, and as his majority is 652 over Mr. Hodges, and 668 over Mr. R - -i t ,er, we may already congratulate the electors and t h e cannery on the accession of another Conservative of talent, eluteacter, and spirit to the cause of order and good goverme:ent. From East Surrey our ac counts are highly satisfactory, and promise the final success of Captain Alsage:. His numbers on yester day's poll exhibit a majority of 232 over Briscoe, and 252 over Beauclerk. If the information of a correspondent be correct, that the Committee of the coalescing " Liberals" have already voted, there • cannot remain a doubt of Conservatism being as tri umphant in the eastern division of Surrey as it has already proved in the western portion of the county_ The result of the election in the northern divi sion of Warwickshire is highly satisfactory. The Radical candidate was in a minority of 677 below the Conservative, whilst in the contest of 1832 the majority over the Destructive was only 98. This is indeed a glorious re-action. We observe, by the way, that Sir Eardley Wilmot, who heads the poll, is mentioned in a report of the proceedings • the columns of our excellent contemporary, the Stars dard, as a Conservative Whig. The admirable speech of that gentleman at the nomination, which appeared in our impression of Saturday, sufficiently proves that he would take it as an ill compliment to be identified with the discomfited and rejected party. The Hon. Baronet spoke with great truth and force of his disappointment at finding the Members of the late House of Commons taken up with " making idle speeches, and indulging in recrimination of each otheie" Sir E. Wilmot: further said " that the time of the House was often occupied, not with sound reasoning and argument, but with turgid and bombastic declamation." Allud ing to the dissolution of the late Ministry, he observed that " by their own acts they destroyed themselves, and if a Coroner's Inquest was to be called upon them, they would return a verdict of Felo de se.' Sir E. Wilmot concluded by the admission that his Majeste could take no other step than that of exercising his prerogative, by dismissing from his Coancils the ad visers who were at war among themselves. How maev Members returned to serve in Parliament, who have been claimed by the Destructives as belonging to their skeleton of a party, partake the sentiments so honestly and ably expressed by Sir E.Wilmot? We must observe that the patriotism of the Conservative supporters of Mr.Dugdale in splitting their votes with the Baronet to keep out Mr. Gregory was highly praiseworthy. When it is considered that this triumph has been achieved in time very hotbed of the Political Unions (the district including Coventry 'and Birmingham) more than ordinary importance ought to be attached to it. ~_
