The Conservative Members of Corporations are acting wi se ly i n g etting up as many public dinners as they can. There is nothing like making hay the sun shines. The time is fast approaching when the turtle and the venison ; the rich soups and the fragrant sauces ; the generous wines and the profuse deserts, in which they have so long indulged at the ex pense of the community, shall no more load the tables of their Town -halls ; but when if they meet to talk over public matters at dinners (as is their wont), the means of such enjoyment must be furnished by themselves. Yet a few months, and Heaven help those epicures, to whom a dainty meal, provided by Corpo ration funds, is, as it were, the salt of life I An awful future awaits them. Their appetites are doomed. They must pay as they eat, or consent, like poets and chamelions, to live on air. What a state for an Al derman to be reduced to I Yet that these men antici pate s ome such disastrous i!..;sue, is certain, from !l ie amazing pains they are taking to prove that they an injured class. They are toasting " Down with Municipal Reform Bill" in all directions ; and if a toast cou ld do its business, or the Conservatives could dine away their difficulties, the star of corruption would still be in the ascendant. But, alas! Ministers are not to be scared by a dinner—especially as they are no t called on to pay for it—still less are they the linen to take fright at a toast. So our fat friends seem to think, and therefore they are cherishing apoplexy at Corporation dinners with more zeal than ever ; thinking, no doubt, that of the two evils, abstinence and repletion, the latter is by far the least. Within the last few days two glorious festivals of this sort have been held at Leicester and Huntingdon, at both which, though the discretion of the company appears to have been at discount, the dinner and wines are declared, by our contemporary the Morning Post, to have been " excellent." And no wonder I Things are always " excellent," that one is not called on to pay for. From the quality of the speeches made at these dinners, we can plainly see that the Leicester and Huntingdon Corporators do not take umbrage at Municipal Re form, from any fancied injury it may do the country, but simply because it puts an end to their own darling epicurean propensities. It is not the British Constitu tion that they think will be jeoparded by it, but their own far dearer one. They are apprehensive of short Commons. This is the true, the sole, secret of their virulent opposition to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S ,Bill ; for " the road through the stomach's the road to the heart," and as his Lordship refuses to travel this road, in his haste to get to the end of his Municipal Reform journey, what wonder he has set the Aldermen of Leicester and Huntingdon in arms against him I Nevertheless, despite the opposition of these, and a thousand such, " small deer," the Bill will be carried in triumph. Were Aldermen to spring up like mush rooms on every dung-hill in the country ; were it even to rain Aldermen for a month to come—no matter, next October would still seal the doom of the whole fungous . _ fraternity. Feast, then, ye destined monopolists, while ye may I Assault the calipash—batter in the venison pasty—lay siege to the hatinch—bid the tur bot surrender at discretion—refuse quarter to the Burgundy—and humble the rising spirit of Cham paigne—for even as the night cometh, when no man can work, even so the hour is at hand when ye shall eat, drink, and be merry at the public expense no longer ! At the Leicester Corpora!ion Dinner—we say no of the Huntingdon one, for it was simply .4upi(i— a GOLDSMITH, in alluding to the support which Sir ROBERT PEEL had already given to the Munici pal Reform Bill, made the following strange excuse for it :—" The course adopted by Sir R. PEEL, has been, I know, blamed by many of his most ardent ad mirers and warmest supporters. The circumstances, however, in which he is placed, must be gravely and attentively considered. He knew well that the mea- eld, the controls as those Suther ' adorned Lnniver iese ga r : ilks w er i , - , ? ,red wi t " filled one It naps. re kliela vie unded t.. Th 0 1 e L " we e F .

And therefore, because such was the case, Mr. GO LDSMITH would have us believe that the Right Hon. Baronet was justified in acting, as he did Really this is the most extraordinary reasoning we ever heard. Conceive a man with two ideas in his head, gravely gettiwg up and informing us, that a British Senator has acted wisely in supporting a Bill, whose only recom mendation is, that it has been brought forward by men without " one atom of . principle—one grain of judg ment I" Had the measure in question been projected by an honest Cabinet, then, on Mr. GoLDsmiTies showing, Sir R. PEEL would have been bound to oppose it : but the extreme rascality of its authors justifies his approval of it I Oh, rare logician I Hide thy diminished head, Dogberry I Thou art nothing to GOLDSMITH. When we first perused the above apologetic sen tence, we took for granted that it was merely one of those small jokes, which " gentle dullness" is so apt to crack ; but long before we had concluded the Report of the Meeting, we found—or fancied we had found— a clue to it. The dinner, as appears by the account in our contemporary the Post, was a most uproarious one : the usual Conservative toasts being drank, not with " three times three," but the majority with " nine times nine," and " one cheer more !" Now, on referring to Mr. GOLDSMITH'S speech, we find that it comes immediately after a health, which was drunk with ," nine times nine," and " one cheer more ;" and we cannot, for the life of us, help thinking that it was this unlucky " one cheer more"—for nothin; makes a gentleman so thirsty as cheering — that was the source of Mr. GOLDSMITHS inspired eloquence. We state this with great deference, and shall be glad to find that our surmises (for, after all, they are only surmises) are ill-founded. Mr. FOWELL BUXTON last night brought forward his - motion for a Bill to suspend for one year the payment of the twenty millions ,_ l •ranted to the India planters, and for the appointrint of a aittee to enquire whether the provisions of the Bill or the Abolition of Slavery have been complied ith. No one who knows Mr. BUXTON, or who is qualified to appreciate his indefatigable labours in the great cause of humanity, can for a moment doubt, that in making this motion, he was actuated by the purest and highest motives. At the same time it is impossible to read his speech, and the reply of Sir G. GREY, without being convinced that there exist nn grounds whatever for having recourse to the extreme proceeding which he recommended. To have suspended the payment of the compensa tion money voted by the British Parliament •n certain conditions, and therefore due to those who have ful filled the conditions, would have been a breach of faith, which, in our opinion, would have greatly tar nished the lustre of the most splendid act of justice that ever was performed by a nation. Had any of the Colonial Legislatures refused to sanction the emanci pation of the negroes ; or had they, after formally sanctioning it, thrown obstacles in the way of its practical effect, there would have been good reason to pause before putting such Colonies on a footing with those which had shown an earnest desire to co-operate with the mother country in giving freedom to the slave. And this proper course has in fact been pursued by the Government in regard to British Guiana, Honduras, and the Cape of Good Hope. But to propose that the whole of the planters in our West India Colonies should be so severely punished—because one or two instances of individuals having infringed the law had occurred—is a proof how easily the best men may overlook the claims of justice, even when they think they are pleading its cause. The speech of Sir G. GREY will be read with the greatest satisfaction by the friends of Eman cipation. It seems to us completely to have set at rest the question about the non-productiveness of free negro labour, and the dreaded ruin of the West India proprietors. What can the croakers on this subject say to the facts that, in some instances, more produce has been raised on certain estates, with fewer hands, since the new system commenced ; that land is rising fast in value in some of the Colonies ; and that during the eight months which have elapsed since the Apprenticeship Act came into operation, not a single act of injury has been done by any negro to a white man, nor a life but one—out of a negro population of 800,000—sacrificed in consequence of violating the law. The important question of the continuation of the sugar duties was discussed in the House of Commons last night, and was settled in a way which, we thinL, be satisfactory to the country. There eau be no doubt that the price of sugar is raised to the consumer, by the additional duty now levied on that which is the produce of ' the East Indies, and that this duty ought to be equa lized; though perhaps the advantages and disadvan tages accruing from such equalization to the parties respectively concerned have been somewhat overrated. But we think the reasons assigned by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER for contiuuing the present duties for another year, are such as ought to produce general .)equiescence in the plan recommended by him. It is gratifying, at the same time to find from what fell from the Right Hon. Gentleman, and from the gene ral tone of the debate, that this will be the last year of the duties. The additional duty on East India Coffee grown in our own colonies is to cease immediately. ROBERT ADAM DUNDAS has, our readers are aware, already acquired some celebrity. Whether it be exactly that kind of celebrity which a noble-minded man would desire, we do not pretend to decide. He contrived, by hook and by crook, to get into the House of Commons, as joint Member for Ipswich, with his friend, and brother in iniquity, Mr. F. KELLY. Both these gentlemen have been turned out of the House, with a label on their backs, bearing that they are incapable of sitting in the, present Par liament. We have not heard what Mr. KELLY is doing- 7 -he wisely keeps himself quiet ; but his late colleague, Mr. R. A. DUNDAS, has, it is kaid, been taken up by the Carlton Club, and is to be brought forward, as soon as the foul deeds of bribery . are purged away by a dissolution, to oppose Mr. HANDLEY in South Lincolnshire. We can hardly give credit to the report, because, though we are quite sure that the TorieS love bribery with all their hearts, vet they have no love for bungling bribers. Let the Re i'orrners of South Lincolnshire, however, be on their guard. They have enemies to deal with who know well how to mask their intentions. Semper parat US should now be the motto of every Reformer. It is understood that the Municipal Reform Bill will not be suffered to pass through the Committee, without an attempt to substitute Voting by Ballot, in the election of the Town Councils, &c., for the mode of voting by polling papers, which is proposed as part of the present Bill. The supporters of Mr. GROTE'S late motion will not let such an opportunity pass by, of making a further stand for the great principle of se cret voting, which is indeed one of the mainsprings of freedom of election, whether of Municipal Officers, or Repres , ;:ntatives in Parliament. The object sought to be attained, is, the electionif the numit efficient and trustworthy Burgos es for Tow Councillors. But the influence of wealth and family cOnnexion (leaving out of the question the operation of direct bribery and corruption), will infallibly tend to induce inhabitants to vote —not f or t h e b es t o f me n, but for those whom it is most the voter's interest to oblige ; or, in other words, according to their own.in terest, and not that of the town. If votes are kept secret THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1835. at the expiration of that period a revolt might be as much feared as it is at present. From his Report it appears thit Spain can neither subdue the Basque provinces, nor the Basque provinces conquer Spain. He sa y s the QUEEN'S Government is secure, as the Carlists on passing the Ebro would find themselves in an enemy's country; and as for the subjugation of the Bisque provinces by the Government, it is plainly impossible, according to his previous state ment respecting the folly of French interven tion. The idea of raising volunteer corps in France and England he treats as ridiculous ; as he says such troops can neither do good nor evil. How cler the fact may be disguised, this Report was drawn up with the KING'S secret sanction ; and was intended to exonerate Louis PHILIPPE from the charges brought against him by those who insisted on the necessity of intervention. Colonel ST. YON wishes to imply that the Sovereignty of the Basque provinces must be ceded to Don CARLOS, and we cannot under take to say that the KING is not secretly favourable to this scheme. The partition of Spain would place that country, in point of strength, in the same relation to France as Belgium—a dependency rather than a rival State. But whatever may he the secret views of the KING of the FRENCH, it is for - England to insist that the treaty which guarantees to Donna ISABELLA 11. the possession of the Throne and Ancient Monarchy of Spain, shall not be violated. The news from Bayonne received this morning is favourable. The QUEEN'S troops remain in po:i • session of Bilboa and Vittoria. Don CARLOS has issued a decree that all persons taken with arms in their hands, who do not belong to either the Christinos or the Carlists, shall be shot ; but that this decree shall not affect the treaty signed by Lord ELIOT.

The new Ministry has not yet been appointed. The news of the non-intervention on the part of England and France produced some bitter feelings in that capital ; but no disturbance oc curred dangerous to the public tranquillity. The French and English were blamed as indifferent to Spanish independence, and TORENO was blamed for stooping to solicit aid from such a quarter. We can make every allowance for the bitterness of national disappointment and wounded pride ; but we have no doubt that all un pleasant feelings will pass away with the landing of the French and English volunteers. The QUEEN re mains at Aranjuez. Cape of Good Hope papers to the sth of April, and Sydney papers to the 13th of February, have been received. The former bring accounts of Colonel SmITII'S defeat of the Caffres, whom he has succeeded in driving up the country. The Sydney papers state that Saving Banks are beginning to be established in different parts of Australia. Those which have been opened for deposits are much encouraged. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the Loans' last night the Bishop of . EXETER gave no tice of a motion respecting the conduct of the Commissioners on Public Instruction in Ireland. Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of the Execution of Wills Bill, and a dis cussion, followed by an adjournment of the question, took place. The Law Patents' Bill, with amendments, was or dered to be reprinted. Lord RODEN presented a petition from Sir HARCOURT LEES. The Rev. Gentleman was willing to state on oath his belief that the Irish Church Establishment was the object of a conspiracy for its destruction. In the COMMONS were presented several petitions, out of which discussions arose : one from Manchester, complained of the sixpenny certificate tax chargeable on each change of em ployment. Captain PECHELL presented a petition praying for an amendment of the Tithes Law. The petitioner, Cap tain S. Pechell, R.N., complained of the conduct of the cler gyman of his parish, having charged tithe on turnips in tended for pasturage ; of an erroneous judgment in the Exchequer on the subject; and of having been ex posed to expenses amounting to 3181. 18s. l ld., on account of a disputed charge of 31. 6s. for tithe of turnips. Mr. HUME said the facts stated in the petition showed the necessity of the amendment prayed for. Lord G. FITZROY having accepted the Chiltern Hundreds, a new writ was or dered for Bury St. Edmunds. Notices were given of amendments intended to be moved in the Committee on Monday on the Corporation Bill. The Loan ADVOCATE, in reply to Mr. GILLON stated that the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland had no civil right to enforce the observance of a fast. The Report of the Irish Commission on Education was brought up. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved for several copies of official documents relating to the Spanish question. Lord MtP!ON stated that no favour had been shown to Don Carlps, and on other points con nected with the subject, the Noble Lord gave an explana tion which Mr. O'CONNELL thought satisfactory, and sug gested to the Hon. Member for Finsbury a withdrawal of his motion, which was accordingly withdrawn. Mr. F. Buxvox moved for a Committee to inquire how far the provisions of the Bill for the abolition of slavery in the West Indies, upon terms of paying 20 millions to the planters, had or had not proved efficacious towards their objects ; and whether, upon ascertaining their partial or to tal failure, it would not be advisable that payment of the sum in question might not be arrested for the present. Sir G. GREY entered into the subject at great length, offering such arguments against the motion as Mr. BUXTON thought justified him, in compliance with what appeared to be the general feeling of the House, in withdrawing it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought forward a pro position for continuing his Sugar Duties. PRIVY COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY. The Lords of the Privy Council sat to-day at the Council Chamber, Whitehall. The Lords present were the Lord President, Lord Brougham, the Vice-Chancellor, Mr. Baron Parke, and the Chief Judge of the Bankruptcy Court. Their Lordships were engaged the whole morning with the case of Swift v. Kelly," which has already occupied several days in argument. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 91+ for the Account, opened at 91i. This receding is attributed to an idea that Government will require some money for the West India In demnity Grant ; but this is only a Stock-jobbing rumour, as the money for the above purpose is already deposited in the Bank. Exchequer Bills, 29 31 ; India Bonds, 8 10 ; Bank Stock, 215 16. The Foreign Market is in the same heavy state as it was yesterday. Plenty of Spanish Bonds in the market, and no purchasers.

A customer of a small tradesman, is nominated for the office of Town Councillor. The tradesman thinks another person better fitted for the office, but dares not have it pro claimed that he votes against his customer. The re medy is obvious ;—establish the Ballot, and the trades man may vote according to his conscientious judgment for those whom he considers best qualified, without divulging his votes to any man living. It may be said, that such conduct would not satisfy the customer ; but the answer is obvious. To punish a voter, not for voting against a candidate, but for not divulging his vote, would be a degree of oppression shocking to any man of common morality, and would be an act of tyranny amounting to an attack upon the ordinary courtesies of civilised life. Such a kind of oppression would be so scandalous, that it would be speedily put down by public indignation. Ministers resisted Mr. GROTE'S motion principally on the ground that it was brought forward at an un unseasonable time. But, here, the question is, not whether the ancient mode of voting shall be changed, but, when we are establishing a new right of v o ti ng , whether that right shall be exercised in the manner most conducive to its purity and freedom. We are be stowing new municipal constitutions ;—is it fit at such an mra that we should be wholly guided by precedents which are themselves condemned by the wisest men of the day ? Surely, it would be more worthy of so noble an undertaking, to found it upon that firm basis f reason and philosophy, which alone can render it a durable and solid structure of public good. The Paris papers of Thursday contain some im portant statements on the subject of Spanish interven tion. It will be remembered by the readers of this Journal, that on Thursday we gave an account of a raciotri reception given by the King of HOLLAND to a , ..:eredited agent of Don CARLOS at Loo. Thu ol)ject of this • agent was to obtain supplies of either men or money, to aid the Usurper in overthrowing the Spanish Government. The Temps, received this morning, confirms the report already before the public, and adds, that WILLIAM of Nassau has granted a loan of seven millions of francs to Don CARLOS, to enable him to carry on the war with vigour. Now it is well known that the King of HOLLAND'S coffers are not over-supplied with ready money, and as the pre sent is the second loan which his MAJESTY has granted, the Temps shrewdly suspects that in these instances he is acting at the instance, and as the agent, of the Holy Alliance. The Orange Journals of Antwerp also state, that " a corps of Volunteers is forming at Amsterdam for the service of Don CARLOS." From all this it is sufficiently evident, that while Russia and Prussia have been fulminating the thunders of their wrath against Spanish intervention, they themselves were li berally supplying Don CARLOS with the means of de throning the lawful Sovereign of SPAIN. The arms, ammunition, and military stores of the Carlists were obtained from Holland, the Austrian States of Italy, Istria and Dalmatia. Even the vessels which con veyed them bore the flags of the Northern Powers ; but as a blockade had not been regularly proclaimed, their seizure would have been a violation of the law of nations. We attach no blame to WILLIAM of NASSAU for supporting the cause of Don CARLOS. His conduct is perfectly consistent, for both the Sovereign of HOLLAND and the brother of FERDINAND VII., are the avowed champions of Despotism. The King of HOLLAND, though personally one of the most upright of men, is from principle opposed to all extensions of the liberties of the people in every country. This is the effect of early habit and an innate hatred of opposition, rather than from dazzling recollections of the glory of absolute Mo narchy. The dreams of chivalry, and the fictions of oriental romance, lend no lustre to the absolutism of the King of HOLLAND. The mind of WILLIAM is of the common-place utilitarian order. Neither his tastes nor feelings are literary. An epic poem pos sesses no more value in his eyes than the amount of money required to purchase it ; and his regard for the finest painting in the world is just in proportion to what it would bring as an article of traffic. He encourages trade because he considers it necessary to the welfare of his subjects ; and he never opposes education, Thch Os without i'-, commerce would he carried oi! at a loss for which no industry could compensate. He believes, that as a King, the people are bound by all laws, human and divine, to yield implicit obedience to his commands ; and his punishment of resistance of any kind, is with him as much a vindi cation of the honour of Heaven, as the majesty of Earth. These are the real principles of the King of HOLLAND, and he has never concealed them, or never refrained from actinc , upon them, when the power was afforded him. By the indulgence of these principles, despite of the earnest entreaties of the 'Prince of ORANGE, he lost Belgium ; and rather than relinquish them, he would take up his residence with the Ex-King of France. In the conduct, therefore, of the King of HOLLAND, there is nothing to call for our censure. But what shall we say of the past conduct of the Governments of France and England, taken in conjunction with this avowed interference on the part of England ? Can it be possible that they remain ignorant, up to this hour, as to the real sources whence Don CAR LOS derived the sinews of the war in the Basque provinces ? Is it to be credited that they knew nothing of the machinations of Prussia, Russia, and "Austria, in favour - of Don CARLOS, at the time when the official Representatives of these Powers affected to storm and threaten hostilities, in the event of English and French intervention, to save the Con stitutional Government of Spain ? If they really knew not whence Don CARLOS obtained supplieS of money, arms and military stores, it speaks but indifferently for their vigilance ; if they did know, it was their duty to have returned such answers to the remonstrances of the northern diplomatists as would have covered the Courts, whose hypocrisy they represented, with lasting confusion. Why should England, of all powers in.the world, degrade herself by affecting a belief in what she knew to be a falsehood ? The nation abhors a crooked and insidious diplomacy, which in the Noith of Europe is regarded as the per fection of statesmanship. England glories in her honest bluntness ; and, acting upon the principle of truth and sincerity, she may defy the world to over-reach her. No power will dare to do so, if the consequences be made known. This is much easier than to train up a host of diplomatists, powerful in perverting facts, skil• ful in over-reaching the unwary, and dexterous in con founding the principles of right and wrong. When it is once known that a State cannot be injured with im punity, diplomatists will be cautious in what way they employ their arts to her prejudice. The domestic intelligence contained in the French papers is not important. The Constitutionnd says that M. DE RIGNY is gone to Toulon, whence he will embark for Algiers, to direct the movements of the French legion destined to aid the C o nstitutional Government of Spain. The landing of the legion is cxpe•:.ted to take place it; Barcelona. Colon,:i YO N. who was appoint:3d ~,oaths since, by the French Government, to act as a Commissioner in Spain relative to the state of the war, has made aßeport, in which he opposes all inter vention on the part of France as useless. He asserts that to restore tranquillity in Spain, a French army of at least 120,000 men would be requisite, and that their presence in the country for a period of four years would - be further indispensable. He adds, moreover, that SPORTIN ASCOT HEATH RACES, TUBSDAY, JUNI , : 19. Ascot, after the third day, has so little to attract that we were not surprised at the thinness of the company, the poverty of the racing, or the general flatness which marked the termination of the meeting yesterday - None of the Court party were present, and of fashionables there was so scanty a muster that it is not worth while to make out a list. To sum up our reports of the races we may observe that the Cup Day turned out as good as ever, but, taken as a whole, they have been less successful than usual, owing in a great measure to the horses this year being so bad as to render it wor,e than useless to run them. It will be seen that in describing the sport yesterday our task is by no means difficult. A Plate of 501. for all ages; three years old, 7st. 71b; four, Bst. 71b; five, 9st ; six and aged, 9st. 41b.

A Correspondent requests us to state, that in refe rence to a home colony on Exmoor Forest, Somerset, he has received information, from which it appears that the Forest was enclosed, under an Act of Parliament, about eighteen years since, and is now become private property, the portion of land allotted to the Crown having been purchased by a gentleman who has claimed a large part of the ancient forest. The question of the continuance of the tobacco monopoly has been violently agitated in the French Chambers, and a Committee appointed to report as to the practicability and desirableness of taking the exclusive purchase of tobacco and snuff out of the hands of Government. Sir Henry Par nell and Dr. Bowring have been consulted by the Committee, ' and have drawn up a Report, which has been very flatteringly received by the French Chamber, recommending the entire abolition of the monopoly. Nothing is more likely to con solidate the friendly feeling which exists between the two countries than the interchange of the opinions of public men on matters of general interest. There has been an important and interesting meet ing at Lincoln, to support the Corporation Reform Bill. The tricks of the Corporation in sending their town- clerk " to re move wrong impressions," by making " any representations he might think proper," are well exposed. We have no doubt Lincoln does not stand alone in this matter. Many a town , clerk is now in town for a similar purpose. iLIGENCE SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNA Our anticipations with regard to Ipswich have been realized. Messrs. Morrison and Wason, as- our readers will perceive from our account, have been re turned by a great majority. The numbers at the final close of the poll, yesterday, were— ) Morrison Wason Broke Holmes 435 Colonel Broke said " they must admit that they had ben well beaten ; but he was sure they would admit that it was a fair battle, carried on with good humour and courtesy." Colonel Broke possesses much local influence, and he no doubt polled more voters than Messrs. Dundas and Kelly would have obtained at the IPlte election, but for the industrious circulation.of their piper parcels. At the last election, Mr. Dundas, the highest on the Tory side, had 545 votes, and Mr. Wason had 521 ; so that the number that polled amounted to 1,066. This time it was only 997 ; so that 67 voters remain to be accounted for. In this number are probably included men of high notions of electoral dignity, who without a fair price would deem it disgraceful to proceed to the poll. The Report of the House of Commons and the commitments to Newgate have wrought Wonders. Mr. Morrison observed, that on the present Occasion " they had a majority of unbiassed votes, dif ferent from those who formed the subject of the inves tigation in the House of Commons, in consequence of bribery, He considered the present election as deciding the question whether the Blues or the Yellows had a majority in that town ; and it was pretty evident that the Blues had no chance in that borough if they fought fairly." There is no resisting Mr. Morrison's conclu sion. Messrs. Dundas and Kelly did not fight fairly ; they obtained their return through hard bribing. We believe that if the Tories at the last eleCtion had not very generally had recourse to the same means, they would have been much less formidable in Parliament. On a future occasion the lesson read by the Ipswich Committee may not be lost on the borough ; and it was not without reason, we think, that Mr. Morrison expressed himself sa tisfied " that the exposure which had taken place had been attended with incalculable ad vantages to other places as well as Ipswich." We quite agree with Mr. Morrison in think ing that, if punishments are to be awarded according to the crimes committed, as the greatest criminals are they who found the money, they ought at least to be harder dwelt with than the humbler instruments through whom the corruption was effected. That Messrs. Dundas and Kelly should, after the disclosures in the Committee, have dared to make their appearance at all in Ipswich, is really a high piece of assurance ; but we can hardly find words sufficiently strong to mark our reprobation or the language used by these men in that borough. Their conduct is an insult to the nation. Bribery, we know, was general before the passing of the Reform Bill : it was known that members were net returned by the independent suffrages of electors, but by the favour of patrons, or through their purses. But the object of the Reform Bill was to put an end to so disgraceful a state of things. It is most,abSurd, therefore, to refer to the bribery practiced pre vious to the passing of the Reform Bill. Bribery was then the rule, and independent suffrage the exception. Indeed it was better, perhaps, for the na tion that Members should have been returned through bribery than through the favour of a patron, because the representatives of patrons were bound to yield a blind obedience to their wishes. But it was intended that a new era should commence with the Reform Bill ; that the constituencies should be identical with the nation, with regard to interests ; and bribery, which disturbs this order of things, and allows men to enter Parliament surreptitiously, is treason against the nation. The principle of the Reform Bill demands that a termination be put to this noxious state of things. Let us look at the consequence of the bribery in the case of Ipswich. These two individuals, as Mr. Morrison stated, sat nearly five months in Parliament, and that at a time when a difference of only four votes would have turned the scale in favour of a Tory Go vernment. Hence the paramount importance of se curing the independent exercise of the suffrages of electors. Bribery and intimidation arc at variance with the spirit of the Reform Bill, and must be got rid of. We cannot conclude without observing, that the people of England are greatly indebted to Messrs. Morrison and Wason for the ability and zeal and in dustry with which they have conducted the inquiry which has had so fortunate a termination.—Morning Chronicle. The speech of Mr. Roebuck, on Monday night, has put the Times on its mettle. Our contemporary will not be outdone in that peculiar strain, and from the emulation which inspires it, and the powers of the same kind displayed by the other party, we may ex pect an effect the very opposite to that produced by the rivalry of a pair of nightingales. The Times is not a Journal that will see dirt thrown without show ing that two can play at that sport, and it takes up the matter with the spirit of Lucy in the Beggar's Opera—" Let's try who best can spatter." The styles arc different, and it is hard to conjecture which will have the advantage. Mr. Roebuck shoots out at once on the contents of a cart, as it were. The Times flings garbage from a well furnished dunghill. Mr. Roebuck talks of the immorality and degradation of the press ; says a despotism is a trifle compared with its tyranny ; describes its conductors from highest to lowest, as a set of base hirelings, cowardly as base, concealing their names, and assassinating characters in the dark ; and sums up by characterizing the news paper press as a mass of cowardice, blackguardism, corruption, and treachery, and praying the destruction of the vile crew. The Times retorts with " rabid lit tle reviler ;" " puppet and pensioned of Papineau ;" " the created of the canaille ;" " a sort of sucking Carlile, with the same dogged dulness, though with less power of ratiocination." The Times says that, Avoiding all competition with the regular press of the country, he has entered the field against the much-persecuted unstamped,' in the hope, we suppose, of swamping The Poor Man's Guardian, or of pelting The People's Police Gazette out of the market. But even so, he has undertaken an enter prise in which his very slender abilities promise not the most - remote possibility of success." It describes him as inferior in versatility to Hether ington ; of much less energy than Benbow : and it adds that, for variety of intellectual resources, no one will think of naming him in the same day with the late. little Mr. Waddington. the " eminent" bill-sticker. In deed, it cannot call to mind one, even among the lowest and the least of the " unstamped," with whom he is capable of measuring weapons. His destiny is thus foretold by our polite Contemporary : " Like Carlile, ho will sink again into the mud of his own insignificance, out of which he is now trying to tiptoe himself, unless any one should be found so senseless as to prosecute him once or twice, and get him sent to rusticate in Coldbath fields, or to indulge in the exercise of the treadmill at Brixton." As to his publication just started, the expectations of the Times are high-wrought : With regard to the editor, if his morality be at all like his politics, the publication which the three may be expected to bring forth, will outdo in beastliness the vilest books which might be produced by ransacking the literature of the most pro fligate French Court for moral, and the literature of the first French revolution fbr political knowledge." So much, and of such quality, in vindication of the decency and respectability of the press. The cause has rather a bad champion, it must be confessed. If this quarrel be carried on as it has commenced on both sides, it promises to exhaust all the resources of vilifi cation. Mr. Roebuck gave the Times an advantage at the outset, by attributing its faults to all the rest of the press, of which it will not fail to avail itself. So lomon observes, that there is a class of people who shoot their bolts too soon. There. is this difference )etavcen Mr. Roebuck and the Times. Mr. Roe ` nel: is what is called an ill-conditioned man ; it must ilwitys cost him a great effort not to be offensive ; he )erliaps wishes to discover the truth and to support it, hough from his unhappy temperament he will always injure any cause which he advocates. The Times has not the merit of even intending to be honest. It coolly calculates on mischief ; an7l abuse is not with it the ebullition of an unhealthy, jaundiced state of mind, but of malice prepense. We could have wished to avoid noticing Mr. Roebuck, whom we look on as au. object deserving of our pity, lathes than of our in lign Chronicle. Lord Stanley's letter to Sir T. D.
