The polling for East Surrey terminated yesterday in the election of Captain Alsager and Major Beauclerk, the num bers being at the close— .. Mr. Alsager Mr. Beauclerk 1907 , Mr. Briscoe Majority for Alsager 358. It was evident from the polling in the early part of the day that Captain Alsager's election was secure, and that the con test would be between Messrs. Briscoe and Beauclerck, who had hitherto coalesed. . the close of the poll on Moticjay Mr. Briscoe had a majority of :20 over Major Beauclerk, which at 12 o'clock yesterday was reduced to ten, and at the final close the majority was in favour of Major Beauclerk, he having 113 votes more than Mr. Briscoe. The poll-books' will be cast up, and the members duly de clared by the Sheriff on Thursday morning, at Croydon. MIDDLESEX ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE. SUN. Slll,--I had but just returned from Brentford when The Sun of this evening was put into my hands ; and though in same degree acquainted with the celerity of the public press, I could not have believed, had I not seen, your report, the possibility of putting in print, in so short a time, such a full and accurate report of the speeches and proceedings this day at Brentford. As one of the parties concerned, I offer you my thanks for the extraordinary exertions made on this occa sion, so highly creditable to your Establishment. I remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, JOSEPH HUMS. Bryanstone-square, Monday, half-past six o'clock. EAST SURREY ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—Allow me to add my thanks to those of my late Col league for the remarkable accuracy, and unexampled dispatch which characterized the publication of the proceedings at our recent nomination at Croydon. I feel that public men and their country, especially in times like these, are so deeply indebted to the impartiality of the Press, that I cannot withhold this feeble tribute of my respect and admiration. I hare the honor to be, Sir, your obedient Servant, 10, lidward-street, Jan. 17. I. J. BRISCOR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—l cannot but return you my thanks for the extraor dinary expedition and correctness with which you have re ported the proceedings at the East Surrey Nomination to-day, in your Evening Paper. I had not thought it possible it could have been out in the Evening Papers. I remain, your obedient servant, A. W. I3EAUCLERK. 19, Chester-street, Grosvenor-place, Jan. 14. keeliers‘hatl good reasou - t - oJear-and though last not least, through the vindictive opposition of a brother of Mr. Finn, the -Member for„ Kilkenny. Vigors was chosen in 1832 in preference - to Mr. Finn ; and the latter gentleman ' s rela tives think that a sufficient justification of the support they have'given - on the present occasion to a Tory candidate. Th e y /nay be good:haters but they are bad patriots; who . would be. capable of such influence cn such an occasion. • Several Reformers of the last Parliathent have retired, but their places for the most part are supplied by better men. Thus Mr. O'Loghlen represents Dungarvon in the place of Mr. Jacob ; Sergeant Perrin has been electedd - for Cashel in the place of Mr. Roe ; Mr. Sharman Crawford for Dundalk in the place of Mr. O'Reilly . ; Mr. Bridgman for Ennis in the place of Mr. MticNaniara, an officer .of Hussars ; and Mr. OtwayCave for Tipperary in the place of Mr. O'Callaghan, ditto. All these are decided advan ; tages to'the popular side ; and there will be many more ac quisitions of the same description to be recorded before the final. close of these elections. . The re-election of Mr. Dobbin for Armagh against the whole power of the Primate and the long purses of the Orangemen, is an important victory. So is Mr. Talbot's triumph in New Ross. On the whole, Ireland will do her duty, and show by the returns to the King's Writ, what opinion she entertains of the last coup dela.' The peaceful demeanour of the people at all the - elections, " whether they win or lose the game," is truly admirable. There have been no nutrageous assemblages of the mob—no attempts to obstruct the passage of voters or insult the candidates. The people feel that the destiny of their country depends upon the issue of this contest, and they await it in an attitude of solemn and intense anxiety. The only place at which we have heard of the electors acting in a ruffianly and violent manner, is that nursery of all that is learned, polite, amiable and pious —Trinity Col lege, Dublin. • T.

His Grace the Duke of Richmond, as Colonel of the regiment, has received his Majesty's commands to attend and meet the Field-Officers, who will have the honour of dining at the Royal table to-morrow evening.

Their Royal Highnesses will take their departure from this place on the 29th instant for Kensington Palace. Mr. A. Brooks' Hounds met this morning (Monday) on St. Leonard's-green, when a fine bag fox was turned out. The field was well attended by most of the Gentry here. After an hour's run he was killed. A number of families continue their sojourn at Edlin's Royal Victoria St. Leonard's Hotel, and this healthy watering-place is likely to continue full for some months. CHELTENHAM.

THE THEATRES. COVENT GARDEN. A piece was performed at this theatre last night under the title of A Trip to the Continent, being a version of Far quhar's Constant Couple, arid by no means a favourable spe cimen of the hash dramatic. The characters of the comedy are retained, and as much of its extravagance and caricature as a modern audience would bear. Mr. Wallack was the Sir Harry Wildair, and whatever may be his capacity for sus taining such a part if well supported, he must possess a large store of the vis contica indeed to enable him to play it effi ciently to the Angelica of Miss Betts, and the Colonel Standard of Mr. Vining. The only really enduring acting in the piece was Mrs. Faucit's Luretrell. DRURY-LANE. A new interlude, under the title of The King's Word, was produced at this theatre last evening. Catherine Branley ( Miss E. Tree) a young and beautiful milliner, lii;ing in the neighbourhood of the Court of St. James's, has attracted the admiration of Charles, who spares no effort to include her in the number of his conquests. She, however, resists all his importunities, and suddenly, having married Martin, a Corn wall farmer, disappears from London. Charles causes her to be sought after in all directions, but is unable to obtain a knowledge of her retreat. Chancing, however, to visit Corn wall, he meets with her in the house of her husband, and without attending to her repeated remonstrances, that,. as being a married woman, he compromises his honour in perse cuting her with his attentions, and renews all his former importu nity. In the course of one of his interviews Martin's (the husband) voice is heard, and the King is hurried by the alarmed wife into a narrow wardrobe for concealment. In this retreat he is, however, discovered by the husband, who is at first __disposed to immolate him on the spot, hut subsequently on his consenting to sign a paper grant ing to him the title and estates of the lately deceased Duke of Cornwall, permits him to leave the house. Martin, overjoyed at the turn things had taken, is picturing to himself all the dignity of his promised station, when he is sur prised by a visit from the Sheriff of the district, armed with a warrant for his immediate execution, on the ground of his having threatened the , life of his Sovereign. Being blind folded, he is marched amid a file of soldiers from his dwellieg : but, after being compelled to make a. circuit of his farm, is brought back to the same place, where be is met by Charles and his Court. On the soldiers halting he naturally supposes he has arrived at the place of execution, but, the bandage being removed, discovers himself standing between his wife and the King, who not only pardons the treasonous attempt on his life, but, acting on the principle that the King's word ought never to be broken, fulfils the promise he had given of raising him to the dignity of Dula of Cornwall. It is to be repeated on Thursday. Lord Durham is entertaining a party of friends at Durham Castle, and is not expected in town before the first week in February. - : TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The Committee of Messrs. Briscoe and Besuclerk having observed with the utmost satisfaction the extraordinary despatch, and very accurate manner, with which the report of the particulars connected with the nomination of the Car didates for this Division was given in your Journal (appearing as it did in the evening of the same day), feel it a duty in cumbent upon them to offer you their sincere and' unqualified thanks. In paying this tribute, so due to the excellent m anner in which your Paper is conducted, proved, as it is, by the extra ordinary precision with which the several speeches made on this occasion were reported (the paper having been received in this room only three hours after the Meeting terminated), the Committee feel they would be wanting in liberality, if they did not offer this testimony of their approbation. Reiterating these sentiments, they have the honour to re main, Sir, yours most respectfully, H. RICHARDS, Secretary. Committee-room, Crown Inn, Croydon, Wednesday evening, Jan. 14, 1834.

For the accuracy of the figures we must rest on Sir Richard's authority, but we see no reason to call it in question ; and the only remark we have to make on it is, that during the 34 years to which the statement refers, the country (with the exception of about two years) was under the dominion of the Tories : " Between 1793 and 1820, i. e., in 34 years, the British Government raised, by all its means of taxes and loans, 2,476,334,2161., or above 72 millions per annum. " And it expended in the same period, 2,492,665,240 d. " Of these enormous sums, the customs yielded 304 mil lions, the excise 6881, the assessed and property taxes 36W the stamps 165 k, the post-office 39k, lotteries nearly 11, loans and funding 722. " Of the enormous expenses, the interest of the debt ab sorbed 891 k millions, the army 598, the navy 4221 the ord nance 95, direct subsidies for allies 55, the sinking fund 3181, losses by exchequer bills, &c., 57. " it far exceeded, in less than a generation, the total of all the taxes and publie expenses in 1,000 years, or from the reign of Egbert, the first king of England, in 827, down to 1826. • " In the age of Henry V., the taxes were but 1,100/. per week ; in that of Cromwell, 29,0001. ; at the Revolution, 39,0001. ; in the reign , of George 11., 150,0001. ; and in 1833, nearly 1,000,0001., or one thousand times more than in the reign of Henry V. and V 1. .. DUBLIN. (FROM OUR OWN CORRERPONDINT.) The Irish Elections generally are proceeding as well as the friends of the Constitution and a free and independent Government-could desire. Bribery and intimidation have been resorted to almost universally, by the creatures of the present Administration ; and the wonder is, that they have not succeeded in more instances. The distresses of the peo ple, and the dread of provoking the landlords' enmity have a twofold influence against the principle of free election. The one operates to increase the temptation of a bribe, and the other makes it penal to refuse it ; and yet, although thousands upon thousands have been expended in purchas ing votes, and even in ,inducing irresolute electors to stand neutral, the cause 'of corruption has gained no actual strength by all this outlay. The Reformers do not 'carry the day quite so hollow as they did two years ago. They are run closer to the saddle-skirts, by the effects of the golden ap ples ; but the victory is, in most places, assuredly in their favour : and although defeat has been sustained in Carlow and elsewhere, counterbalancing advantages have been gained in other places, and the grand result to the great in terests of justice and popular rights will be honourable to Ireland, and. beneficial to the whole empire. In the King's County, the county gains one by the petu lent and inglorious resignation of that Tory in a mask, Lord Oimantown. put out, In the City of Waterford, Christmas, a Tory, is to admit Mr. Wyse,- a most accomplished scholar, and an uncompromising ; Whig. In the "County of GalWay,..lannes Daly, a Tory, is obliged toicollow Lord Oxmantown's example, and resign to two pledged" Reformers. . • In the COuntY of Limerick, Colonel O'Grady, who was with the Whigs as long as the Whigs were in power,' but whose family arc all Tories,' and whose late address to the constituents, wherein he babbled of " salutary refor m," smelt s t rong l y o f T amwort h, h as a l so res i gne d ; and Mr: William .Smith O'Brien, a man of talent and energy, about whose politics .there can be no mistake, is elected in his room. O'Grady's farewell adcfresS, which talks with Con servgiive horror of the " domination of a Political Club,". is sufficient to prove 'What a fortunate escape the county has Lad but of his hands. • The borough of Carlow has been lost, partly through the unprepared rtate of the popular electors for the sudden dissolution of Parliament, while their enemies had been up to the trick ninny months before• —in a great deg,ree by the money :and. influence of the proud and intolerant aristo cracy of the neighbourhood, whose displeasure the shop- TIVO-PENNY POST-OFFICE. The following new regulations, which have been for some time in progress, have just been issued by command of his Majesty's Postmaster-General, the Right Honourable Lord Maryborough)— " The principal office is at the General Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, where -letters may be put in one hour later than at the receiving-houses ; but for the accommodation of the public at the West-end ofthe town, letters will be received at' the office at Charing-cross, corner of Craig's-court, and at the office in Regent-street, near Langham-place, half-an-hour later,at each dispatch than at any of the other receiving-houses. There are now six deliveries and six collections of letters in London daily, and by this new regulation the seven o'clock delivery has been extended to all places in the environs of town within the circle of three miles from the General Post-office, most of which at present will have five deliveries and !lye dispatches daily. The country delivery of the Two-penny Post has been extended from nine miles to a circle of twelve miles from the General Pest-office.' " The following is the time letters should be put into the receiving house for each delivery of the day, in town, and that by which they are dispatched. If put in at eight, ten, and twelve in the mornin, two, five, and eight in the afternoon, they are sent for delivery at ten and twelve in the morning, two, four, and seven in the afternoon, and eight o'clock next , morning. Letters can De put in onc hour later than the above at the General Post-office, and each delivery should be com pleted generally one hour or one hour and a half after they are dispatched. From' London, to the country, if put in by eight o'clock in the morning. two, or five in the afternoon, they are dispatched at ten o'clock in the morning, four and seven in the afternoon. To places having but two deliveries a day, letters arc sent off at the above hours, of ten in the morning and four or seven in the afternoon. Those that go off at ten o'clock are delivered at noon, those at four are deli, vered the same evening, and those at seven o'clock are deli vered early next morning. To places haVing only one post a day they go off at ten o'clock, and are delivered the same day at noon. Letters from the country to London, if put into the post in time for the morning dispatch, they arrive in town be tween ten and eleven o'clock, and are sent out for delivery at twelve o'clock ; 'if the afternoon dispatch at seven o'clock. The postage of each letter or packet passing from one part of the three miles circle to another is only twopence. To all places beyond this circle (being within the limits of this office) it is threepence. " The postage of this office on each general or foreign post letter or packet to or from places beyond the three-miles circle, is twopence in addition to the general or foreign post rate. Newspapers, if put into any Twopenny Post-office within the mole of three miles from the General Post-office, will pass to the country districts of this office, if in covers open at the ends,- for one penny each ; but from one part of the circle to another, or from the country to any part of the circle, or one part of the country to another, the postage is the same as for letters. No letters or packets exceeding the weight of four ounces can be sent by the post, except such as have first passed by, or are intended to pass by, the general or foreign mails. To prevent delay, the public should be very particular with letters intended to pass through the Twopenny Post,' that they are put into the proper receiving -houses, as it too fre quently happens that letters are put into a general post-receiv ing -house` by mistake, whereby they are unavoidably delayed in their delivery." BREAKWATER FOR PORTLAND ROADS.

Mr. Buxton gave dinners on his seventh return to Par most - liament, on the 12th inst. ; when that gentlemen elo quently addressed himself to the company assembled, in an animated and satisfactory manner. His son, Mr. Edward Buxton, who presided at the Crown Hotel, gratified the company by his pleasing and gentlemanly conduct ; the whole entertainment passed off with much spirit. Mr. William Wharton Burdon, the new representative, whom we are confident will prove a reformer of the first order, gave his dinners on the 14th inst. The Hon. Mem ber presided at the Royal Hotel Assembly, the vice-chair being ably filled by Mr. J. F. Hodges ; the Weymouth glee-singers were in • attendance. The company consisted of the voters, and those of the inhabitants usually in vited upon such occasions. Here, although an anomaly arises in the return of a Brirdon to Parliament, a Burden becomes laid, as it were upon the commercial and other interests of this country, still we are confident, from what follows, that the ability and zeal of the Hon. Member will turn this Burden to good account by converting the said anomaly to the advantage of the great national interests at large, as well as the local interests of Weymouth. In the early part of the evening, when loyalty was parti cularly observable, and which in Weymouth, it might be justly observed, has always proverbially been acknowledged, the worthy Member, in an animated and pleasing urbanity of manner, delivered a masterly and energetic speech upon the subject of the local improvements of Weymouth, par ticularly as regards the Harbour, in connexion with the commerce of the town ; thereby identifying himself with all the influence and exertion in his power, to afford towards its accomplishment. The Hon. Gentleman at once per ceived, and acknowledged, that he considered the proposed Breakwater for Portland Roads was intimately connected with Weymouth Harbour, and assured the company he would also afford to that important national object his firmest consideration and support—an object, lie observed, so ably advocated by Mr. Harvey (then present,) and great merit was clue to him.—( Vide " Mechanics' Magazine.") After Mr. Burdon had concluded his interesting speech, and Rule Britannia" had been sung in full chorus, Mr. Harvey rose, evidently impressed with the Sentiments of so talented a gentleman, to assure the President, Vice-Presi dent, and the company, he felt the highest sense of grati tude and respect for the able, voluntary, and thus early support of their new Representative, who had literally pro mised, in the most praiseworthy and public manner, his re lative advocacy of a subject, so intimately connected with the naval and commercial interests of this country. Mr. Harvey further observed, the Portland Breakwater was a subject to which great responsibility was attached, which led him to forward last year, through the influential medium of the Right Hon. Admiral Lord De Saumarez, to his Most Gracious Majesty, a memorial, explanatory of their views of the matter, and signed by 687 Portlanders. Mr. Harvey, in conclusion, observed that Mr. Buxton was also an advocate for the Portland Breakwater, at which the -company appeared much gratified. A new era has evidently commenced in Weymouth, com mensurate with the present improving age, arising from its central position in the British Channel ; and, in the event of a rail-road, ready access would be attained. with the heart of Somersetshire and Bristol. We feel assured we shall ultimately see verified— " Now Commerce, wealthy goddess, rears her head, And bids Britannia's fleets their canvass spread."— Gay. MALTA. We yesterday received a file of the Malta Gazettes to the 8d instant. They contain intelligence from Alexandria, stating that the Pacha had received dispatches from Achmed Pacha, with official accounts of the conquest of Hedjax and Yemen by that Commander, who, with his victorious forces, was, when the accounts left, marching upon Rebde to bring into subjection the tribe of Assar, which it was expected he would speedily accomplish. Ibrahim Pacha had left Karah for Jerusalem and its departments, for the purpose of levying recruits, a measure, since the disarming of the population, of little difficulty. These advices give a further insigLt into the determina tion of the :Neba to organise a powerful navy for Egypt. The naval officers of the . Pacha already consisted of one Admiral, one Vice-Admiral, one Rear-Admiral, 76 Cap tains, 1 17 Lieutenants, with a staff and officers of an in ferior grad e i n p ro p or ti on .

The young Prince was accompanied by twenty-six yOuthful companions, and numerous masters of languages and navigation were with him. He had just returned from his firstcruise of two months on the coast. of Syria. Mehemet Ali was anxiously engaged in one of the most gigantic works of modern times, that of artificially damming up the Nile, which, if completely effected, will prove of high advantage and utility to Egypt. The prospeiity of the valley of the "Nile *wild, by this, almost prove unlimited if a successful curb could be effected to re gulate the inundations of the river, ' More than twelve thou sand labourers were encamped on the two branches of the Damietta and Rosetta. The Pacha ivas bestowing the tit• most attention upon this . project. Measures had been adopted at Alexandria to prevent the introduction of the plague into the arsenal, of which apprehensions were enter tained, as it had already shown itself on board some of the ships of war. . _ _ The Malta papers contain an of note from the Eng lish Consul at Marseilles, intimating that vessels may hence forward enter the roadstead of Toulon without being re quested to pay tonnage dues or other charges, provided they do not lie within the waters of the ports situated thereon. The Consul says " Foreign vessels that may happen to be in those parts which formerly when assailed by bad weather or want of provisions, were obliged to keep out to sea, not venturing to put in for fear of:incurring the port charges, may consequently now seek protection in the road stead of Toulon, one of the securest of the Mediterranean, without being subject to any formality of customs s or any charges. These papers furnish us with some - intelligence from Syria, which seems to remain most unwillingly under the yoke of Ibrahim Paella. A new insurrection had taken place among the Ansers, a wild uncivilized race, occupying the mountains between Tripoli and Aleppo. In conse quence of this Ibrahim had increased his garrisons in Aleppo and Damascus. The dinner party given by Sir Charles Wetherell the evening before last, to meet his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, did not take place at Whitehall, but at (ht. chambers of the Hon. and Learned Knight in Stone-buildings, Lincolni Inn-fields, where Sir Charles MannerS Sutten, the Solicitor-General, Mr. Croker, and w'select party, were in vited to meat the Royal Duke. Lord Granville, the late English Ambassador at the. Court of France, arrived on Monday at Devonshire-house. Piccadilly, from Paris, where he yesterday was visited be several of his friends. The English at Paris regret his de parture, to whom, at all times, he was accessible in his official capacity, and was extremely popular with hii countrymen. ST. STEPHEN'S CHAPEL.—The ornamental stone work of St. Stephen's Chapel, that escaped the ravages of the late fire, though chiseled nearly eight centuries ago, is so very beautiful and unique, that drawings have been just made of it to perpetuate the pattern and the skilful manner in which it was executed ; as for design and excellence, it cannot be surpassed. The artist who made the drawing undertook a work of danger if we may judge from the threatening aspect of the laceratedruins. SIR G. MURRAY.—It is stated that Sir George Murray, defeated so completely-at Perth, is to be returned for Kincardineshire, General Arbuthnot, who was to have walked the course there, resigning in his favour.--Edinburgh Patriot. - TILE CHuncx.—The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, and some other distinguished ecclesi astics, have been engaged much recently with Sir R. Peel, at his official residence in Downing-street. The interviews be tween these Prelates and the Premier have latterly been very frequent, and it is supposed they relate to the measure of Church Reform which it is contemplated by Ministers to pro pose at the commencement of the ensuing Session of Par liament. ROYAL GALLANTRY.—At the dinner given at the palace, Brighton, to the Prince Augustus of Portugal, the Duke of Leuchtenberg, the King proposed the health the health of the Queen •of Portugal, upon which the Prince im mediately proposed the health of the Queen of England, when the King, with his accustomed gallantry, proposed the health of the Queen of Spain, saying, with great .good humour, " we all drink the healths of the three Queens," which toast was drunk with great enthusiasm by the noble guests present.— Atlas. THE LATE EARL OF PORTMORE.----The Colo nelcy of the North Lincoln Militia becomes vacant by the death of this Noble Lord, who was the fourth Earl of Portmore. His Lordship married Lady Mary Bertie, only child of Brown low, fifth and last Duke of Ancaster, by which lady he had an only son, the, Hon. Brownlow Colyear, who succeeded to the vast personal wealth of the Duke of Ancaster in 1809. Mr. Colyear unfortunately died at Rome in 1809 from wounds re ceived in an encounter with banditti.

Bribery went to the prodigal excess of an offer of one hundred and fifty pounds for a vote ! Humble and ne.dy persons did their duty to their country, resisting all temptations, united with menaces of the most relentless per selution. Freemen registered so late as January—freemen residing four-and-twenty miles from the town—freemen, in short, altogether disqualified, were permitted to vote. Still the good cause triumphed, and Mr. John O'Connell was de clared duly elected by a majority, not of one vote, as was at first believed, but of seven votes.—Dublin Morning Register. SNow.—ln many parts of Lancashire the snow is from three to four feet deep. A gentleman who arrived yes terday from Manchester states, that in returning to that town from the north, at about forty miles distance, the snow was so very deep that a great number of men were employed to make a passage through it, for the horses and carriages to pass, otherwise they would not have been able to proceed. The fall of snow in Scotland has been very great, but will be of service to the ground, having fallen before the earth was chilled with the frost. THE HANNIBAL AMERICAN PACKET.--THIS vessel, which, from her arrival being long overdue, was feared to have been lost, sailed again for New York from St. Katha rine's Dock on Monday last, with seventeen passengers, hav ing been in dock only three days.

THE IRON TRADE..- - -- . -At the quarterly meeting of the Yorkshire and Derbyshire iron-masters, held on Wednes day at Sheffield, although it was reported that•the demand for metal was uniforml► brisk, it was resolved that no advance should take place. Considerable quantities of Scotch metal still continue to arrive for consumption in Yorkshire. We regret to find that the incendiary fire at Arling ton, Beds, which took placemn Friday morning, and of which we gave an account yesterday, was followed up, by a second fire the next Saturday morning. A poor farmer, Richard Stone, is the sufferer on this ()Cession. His barn, recently filled with oats and beans, was completely destroyed. ln con. sequence of the firing of his neighbour Church's premises the preceding morning, his two sons had been watching all night, and it was only upon their going into the house for some break fast, that the incendiary took the opportunity of their tem porary absence to fire the premises. l'he fire was discovered almost as soon as lit.. It is evident that the perpetrator must be some one on the spot. The neighbouring magistrates arc on the alert. No doubt is entertained that the delinquent will be ascertained, and brought to condign punishment. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE .AT BRESTFORD.—AbOIIt seven o'clock on Monday evening the house of Mr. Butcher, pawnbroker, near the Market-place, Brentford, was discovered to be on fire. Every exertion was made to extinguish the flames, but, in consequence of the deficiency of water, without effect. The three adjoining houses were set on fire, and, with that of Mr. Butcher's, were entirely destroyed, with a great part of the property they contained. In one of the houses destroyed, occupied by Mr. Pearse, of the Red Lion, the body of Mrs. Pearse, who had died a few days previously, was lying, and in the midst of the flames the coffin was brought out of the house. The thieves collected in great numbers, and were very daring in their search of plunder. Some of them entered one of the houses whilst on fire, and got possession of a consi derable sum of money. The cause of the fire is not,knovvn. MEDICAL REFORM.--The Government does not seem disposed to wait for Mr. 'Warburton's scheme of reform,- at least as regards the College of Physicians, but has already had communication with the magnates of Pall-Mall East, in reference to some plan of their own.. A committee is now sit ting to consider the expediency of certain changes in the coi lege. The first and greatest grievance is the separation of physicians into two sets or orders—viz„ fellows and licentiates ; and the first and most popular change would be its abolition. The licence ought not to be granted to any one who calm t show that he has had the highest medical education, and at tained the highest standard of professional acquirement; and if he does, no one has a right, as a physician, to rank ;Awe him.—Medical 'Gazette, SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JotHWALSI ; • We beg the attention of our reader,. to - letter, signed ‘. T. S. Rice," which appears in another co lumn, and relates to the introduction of emigrants from the United Kingdom into the West Indies ! Of all the projects for adding to the sufferings of the ill used labouring poor of this country, this scheme fob' carrying them into the Indies to supersede the negro population, is at once the most absurd and the most heartless that has yet appeared. The crochet,:never• theless, was favourably received by theTlate.Seoretary for the Colonies ! It has been, and is still, a subject of pride and glory to Englishmen, that by years of per severance and a large expenditure of treasure, they have succeeded in nearly annihilating that inhuman traffic called the slave trade: but we should be glad to know how, except in name, the absence of violence, and abstinence from the infliction of personal torture, the en couragement of those who would inveigle the population of these realms to the unhealthy shores of the W es t ern Indies,differs from the other trading in human flesh and blood ; for, however small, or however great, May be the number of those simpletons who suppose that men born and bred in this country can endure the labour of a negro in such a climate as that of the West Indies, it must be quite clear to every man of sense, that such persons are mere dupes of others, who have originated the scheMe for the purpose of pecuniary profit to them selves. When we find that such a speculation was not only to be encouraged but actually assisted and forwarded by the late Government, we have, great reason to rejoice that the superintendence of the Cokmial Department at least has fallen into other hands. But it is all of a piece with the patro nizing of that job which was to enrich a few at home at the expense of as many blockheads as might de. sire to cultivate the acquaintance of the kangaroos in some unexplored region of South Australia.. The old women who tried to wash the blackamoor white have hitherto been thought to have outdone itrabsur dity the wildest experimentalist of all times, anciaof all countries; but we think that, for the future, the late' Secretary for the Colonies may claim equal rank with them on the ground of. the share he seems to have been inclined to take in this attempt to turn the white.popu. lation of Britain into negroes. At least, let us first try the.experiinent - of rearing a native population on the spot; who have some hereditary capabilities for tropical labour : this will be a more humane, and (what with the pretended philosophers of the newschoojia a more important consideration,) will be a more economical plan than transplanting the ploughmen and weavers of Great Britain to cultivate the sugar-cane, niue-tenths of whom, like the Russian Peter's Sailors leaining to drink sea-water, will die in the experiment.—Times. The electors of South Hampshire have valued the diplomatic and senatorial powers of Lord Palmerston at somewhat below his own estimate. They 'think his repose would be. More beneficial to the interests :of the country than his activity. All the rational and reflect ing portion of the English people, we believe, are of the same opinion. It' the people of Belgium, were polled, we cannot doubt that they would confirm the rejection of the Lord of the Protocols, whose " Speed, and final settlement." of their affairs, so often promised during the four years of the Whig Administration, has yetto come, the Noble Lord having, by hiS indescribable ! diplomacy, left the Belgico-Dutch question far more complicated and unsettled than he found it. Acting blindly in this question under the influence of the wily Tallevrand, our Foreign Minister did every thing for France, and nothing for either Belgium or England. His.. policy reduced Bel e s , ium to the condition of a French province, agreeably to the wishes of the Doc trinaires, and alienated a nation that was One of our oldest allies and best customers, by the unjustifiable. seizure of his merchant vessels, by.sending armaments to. threaten his coasts, and by abetting the King'of the Barricades in slat.Onering his subjects ; and all thie done while pr o f essing _ t o maintain " peace," and eer tainly in as peac ea bl e a manner as acts of violence are usually committed. Let it be also borne in mind that this was the work of a. Government whose avowed principle of foreign policy was non-intervenfion in the quarrels of other States—that the Whigs loudly and repeatedly assailed the Duke of Wellington and . Lord Aberdeen for interfering between Belgium and Hol land in a mediatoriar eharaeter-LA hat they themselves, on Coining into power, though' not boandby any4revi ous treaty to interfere, joined with the French Govern ment in an armed intervention—a .

Lord . Palniersten, besotted with the infatuation of. Daetainaire influence, sacri ficed those national advintages to the disastrous alliance which was consummated in ..folly, as far as England was concerned, by the Anglo-Gallic-Conven tionits Outrages and its :tihsurdities. - 'But darker is the blot upon. Lord PahnerStOn's fOreigo policy, which is connected with the misfortunes andthefate of Po. land. Here there was non-intervention with a ven geance ! But here we were'bound by treaty, as well as by our own interest, to preserve the independence of Poland, as a barrier towards•the West of Europe, against the unscrupulous ambition of Russia. Lori Palmerston was struck with the most intense diploma tie blindness as to the treaty which guaranteed the independence of Poland, and which .L- Castlereagh and Talleyrand had negotiated with the other great Powers. He could not see one word of it—to his eyes it was a blank piece of paper--while be was quick sighted enough to discover that England was bound by another provision of- the Treaty, which _enjoined her to pay certain moneys, on account of the Russian. Dutch loan, to Russia, as long as Belgium and Hob. land should continue united, although a complete se. verance of the .union had taken place. The money was"paid to Russia under a pro v i s i on of the treaty whi c h had expired, by the failure of the consideration upon which the compact was founded. The inougy so paid enabled the merciless Auto c r a t t o recru it hi s shattered armies—to retrieve his repeated defeats,' and fd'accorn plish, at last, his threats of vengeance.in the lidod and ashes of Poland. We never ceased from the first mo ment of the dreadful struggle to represeht to the 'Whig Ministers the wrongs of Poland—to ring inaheir ears the treaty of Vienna -7-to demand justice for tkebravest people that oppression ever trampled in 66'44. But the Whig Minister for Foreign Affairs viiioPdeaf as the adder" to the cries of . Poland and ofebhuma nity.

Lord 'Althorp, in the House of, cOmnstons, 4tylien pro curing a servile vote for the payinent , of thiimoney, intimated something darkly about 'the. necessity of a bribe to Russia to keep the 'peace of Europe. Is England, then, like Rome, in her corrupt and dege aerate days, to purchase peace of the 'barbarian with gold ? a s o, it will be easier to exhaust.her treasures in paying disgraceful tribute to the .mogern Alaric than 'to satisfy his •rapacity. The sentiments which we expressed,upon this and all other public questions. we still maintain, and shall still endeavour, to the best of our power, to enforce, whoever are or whoever shall be Ministers. There are certain principles in separably connected with the cause of justice and the progress of improvement and intelligence to which we are as devotedly attached as party writers. are 'to their party idols. By preserving a perfect independence of faction and party, we are not under the painful necessity of taking up one set of principles under one GoVernment, and another set of prin ciples under another. We shall yet have to call upon the Duke of Wellington to make that resolute and decided stand against the encroaching ambition of Russia, both -in the Weht and the EaSt . of Europe, which we called on Lord PalnierZaonandAris colleagues to make iii _iiettesTe Lon! to which,. at the late, t ,elecAitin,.l.,ve vaitt.!f;TharefaiStcorta.A titte r as Pa ,11, d i : , kir o"ly — ,a?e of the hnerstoo atanda .13.NKa -,, a rna, ■ ~~
