PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 24.—We have received letters from the British Squadron at Vourla, of the 19th ult., and from Malta of the 2d inst. The Talavera, 74. Capt. Edward Cheetham, C. 8., arrived at Malta on the 26th ; and the Britannia, 120, Captain P. Raineier, C. 8., on the 27th ult., from Vourla, and sailed again on the Ist instant, for England, to be paid off, their period of service having expired. The return of the squadron to Malta, for the winter, had been made dependent upon advices from the British Ambassador (Lord Ponsonby), at Constantinople. The Revenge, 78, Captain William Elliott, C. 8., had joined the squadron, from England ; and the Volage, 28, Captain George B. Martin, C. 8., has taken up a position in the Dardanelles. Sir Josias Rowley, in the Caledonia, 120, Captain Thomas Brown, was in Vourla Bay, with the Canopus, Edinburgh, Malabar, Revenge, and Thunderer (of the line), Portland, Endymion (frigates), and Beacon surveying vessel. The Canopus and Malabar were about to proceed to Smyrna; the Tribune had relieved the Endymion at that port, where also the Medea•steamer was lying. The Endymion had a case of plague occurred among the crew, which arose from a commu nication with the merchant cutter Spitfire, which was infected. By immediate precautionary measures its progress was pre vented. The Ottoman fleet continued at anchor in the Dardanelles on the 11th of December. It was understood that the order to dismantle the ships had been annulled ; that the Sultan had resolved upon continuing the ships in commission for the pur pose of exercising the crews, and making them more expert in their duty. Since the news of the termination of the dif ferences between the Porte and Egypt, brought about by the mediation of M. Butineiff, the Ambassador from Russia (in consideration of the payment of 16,000,000 piastres, by Me hemet Ali, as the price of the pacification), intelligence had reached Malta of further troubles on the frontiers of Syria, which had given rise to reinforcements beinc , ordered to Koniah, consisting prin c ip a ll y o f cava l ry . The garrison of the Castles of the Dardanelles bad been strengthened by 2,500 troops from the capital ; and they had,' unfortunately, carried the plague with them. This scourge continued its ravages at the capital, though in a diminished degree, and had reached even to Buejukdere. Some cases had also occurred at Galatea and Pera, which had created considerable alarm among the European residents of those suburbs. Ibrahim Pacha had been to Jerusalem to raise recruits there, whence he would proceed to Tripoli, whither the Nile steamer had been dispatched, to convey the Generalissimo to a grand Military Council, convoked at Cairo. More than twelve thousand labourers were encamped on the banks of the Nile, at Damietta and Rosetta, were employed in the gigantic work of artificially damming up the Nile, for the purpose of re7ulating its inundation.; which, if accomplished, , will render the prosperity of that country unlimited. Mr. Brunel!, the celebrated engineer, had been invited from Lon don, to aid the prosecution of the work by his experimental advice and skill. His Majesty's brig Scout was at Alexandria. Steam navi gation, by Austria vessels, had commenced between Trieste and Constantinople, touching at Corfu, Nauplia, Smyrna, and the Dardanelles, from which latter place to the capital the voy age is completed in from fourteen to eighteen hours. A ves sel of 120-horse power is building at Liverpool f or t h e enter prising house of Chalton, Whittal, b and Co., British merchants at Smyrna. The Jupiter troop-ship arrived at Corfu on December 10th, with the 42d Regiment on board, in four days, from Malta. The Mastiff surveying-vessel arrived at Malta on the 27th December, from Vourla, to winter ; the Childers left Malta on December 27, and the Columbine on the Ist instant, with a mail and despaches for Vourla. The Favourite was at TH.. poli ; the Jasseur and Orestes on the Gibraltar and Coast of Spain station ; the the Tyne refitting at Malta for the lonian Islands. Commander Eden, on promotion from the Canopus, Lieut. M'Huaine, R. N., and several Midshipmen, to pass the colleges, are passengers in the Britannia. The Registrarship of the Malta Court of Vice-Admiralty has lately bcome va cant by the death of Mr. John Locker. Prince Don Augustus of Portugal and suite sailed from Fal mouth on Wednesday, in the Monnrch steamer, Capt. Bain, for Lisbon, escorted by the Don Pedro and Duchess of Bra ganza frigates, Don Pedro brig, and the Nimrod. The Regina, Sardinian man-of-war corvette, from London to Sardinia, passed by the Isle of Wight on Sunday last. The Britannia is hourly expected to arrive at this port to be paid off. The Talavera went into Plymouth on Tuesday. Yesterday, the free-trader, Royal William, passed by from Madras, which she left on the 7th of October, and the Cape the 27th November. She landed her passengers here Col. and Mrs. Paske, Misses Newlyn, Campbell, and Williams ; Major Briggs, 63d regiment ; Captains Smith and Kirkley, 39th regiment ; Dr. Campbell ; Messrs. Grant, Wright, Bell, and Williams ; Lieutenants Rochford, Richards, Burns, Cox, and Macleod ; and Ensign Dalrymple. When off the Cape Verd Islands, the Royal William was chased for twenty-four hours by two piratical schooners, who were evidently cruising in concert, as they were continually signalizing each other. She succeeded, however, in getting clear of them ; but the Valleyfield, which left the Cape with the Royal William, and was was pursuing the same track, may fall in with them, and she is a dull-sailing vessel. The Buckinghamshire, with Sir R. Grant, the Governor of Bombay, on board, arrived at the Cape on the 26th of November, from England. The Melville, 78, with Sir John Gore's flag, was at Madras on the 7th of October, and would proceed to Bombay to meet the Winchester, 52, with Admiral the Hon. Sir T. B. gapel's flag, who was to succeed Sir John in ;the Indian comman . 4 The Curacoa frigate, Captain Dunn, was also at Madras, *- der orders to proceed home. She would be detained to carry Lord Willaim Bentinck and family to Calcutta, who were ex pected to embark on the 15th of October. Lis Lordship, with the Governor of Madras, had been absent. for some months, ' for the benefit of their health, in the Neighelgherries' moun tains. The Hyacinth, 18, left Madras for New South Wales, on the 30th September. The Harrier, 18, was still in the straits of Sunda, and the Imogene at China, to which quarter the Andromache, 28, Captain Chads, with Lord Napier on board, had proceeded onward, taking with them Corn. Yonge, who had no opportunity of joining his ship, the Melville. The Alligator, 28, was to be converted into a hulk at Trincomalee, and het officers and crew would come to England in the men of-war homeward bound. The Magicienne frigate was at Bombay; she had been sickly, having lost her master, car penter, and Messrs. Kennedy and Lloyd, mate. The free trader Duke of Buccleugh arrived at Madras, from England, on the Ist Oct. The Curlew, 10, Hon. Lieut. Denman, sailed on Thurs day, for the Western Coast of Africa station. The Alban steamer, Lieut. Roepe], sailed on Sunday, for Plymouth, Falmouth, Cork, and the Mediterranean. In Harbour.—Victory, Excellent, Royal George, Actaeon, Rattle-snake, aalarnander, Victor, Camelion, Water-witch, Seaflower, and Buffalo. The Samarang was paid off this morning. The Ocean, 80, is to be converted into a receiving-hulk at Sheerness; and the Asia, 84, will be the flag-ship at that port.

The St. Ann (timber ship) sailed on Tuesday for Rierra Leone, taking passenger Major H. D. Campbell, Governor of that colony. _ _ _ (From the Devonport Telegraph.) PLYMOUTH, JAN. 24.—His Majesty's ship, Talavera, 74, Captain E. Cheetham, C, 8., arrived here on Tuesday last, from the Mediterranean. She left Vourla on the 18th Dee., Malta on the sd, and Gibraltar on the 11th January. Captain Campbell, R. M., late of the Malabar, and a number of inva lids from the fleet, came home in here. We hear that Captain Sir E. Lyon has declined aceelOq the important command offered him in the Greek service. The depot vessel formerly attached to the garrison at Ports mouth is ordered to be attached to the Seatlower as a tender, while employed i❑ the protection of the Jersey oyster-fishery, His Majesty's ship Pique, 36, the Hon. Capt. De Roos, is ready for sea, and will go out of harbour on Tuesday n ext. His Majesty's schooner, Pike, 14, Lieut. Rrookiolif, Com mander, having had her defects made good, will go into the Sound on Monday. The Romney troop ship, Mr. J. Wood Master, wilt be ready for sea on the 27th inst., and his Majesty's brig Scor pion, 10, Lieut. Robilliard, on the 28th. The Meteor (steamer) put in here on Monday, and left, for Falmouth and Lisbon, on Wednesday, taking out 30,0001. in sovereigns. This vessel is filled with boilers of a new_con struction. In the first place, the boilers occupy much less space than those of the old construction, 13 feet of the vessel's hold, in the direction of its length, being saved. The boiler is not traversed by internal flues, as in the usual way, but the lower part or bottom is formed of a zigzag form, so as to de tain the caloric emitted by the fire, and to present as much surface as possible to receive and conduct it. We understand the steam is " got up" in about half the time required by the old system, or in about forty-five minutes instead of one hour and twenty minutes, and that the internal arrangement is such, that the heated water is continually being displaced by a cooler fluid. This constant circulation, it is expected by the proprietor, will prevent any deposit of salt in the boiler. The officers 0T the Meteor speak in high terms of the invention, there being an excess of steam as well as draught of the fires.

JAMES'S PARK.—In consequence of a representation having been lately made to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests of the great danger to which the public, particularly children, who frequent tho inelosure in St. James's Park are exposed, by the abrupt de clivity of the embankment of the ornamental water, especially on the south side, orders have been issued for the immediate erection of a dwarf iron railing about twenty inches high, which will have a seemly appearance of security, and also obviate the disadvantage complained of. The embankment is in many places on the margin of the principal inner gravel walk directly adjoining the water, and should any person while their attention was attracted by some object step but a little Pff the footway, they woi,ld be ciirevtly precipitated into the W4ter, and from the steep shelving bottom would instantly get out of their depth. These parts were partictilarly dialgefOUS to children, This addition to the comfart and security of the public is decidedly requisite. REMOVAL OF SMITHFIELD MARKET.—Sattir" day a notice was exhibited on the principal dodr of 4 Mary's Pl).4rch, stating that intended apply, in the next Seisio n o f Parliament, for as Act to authorize the re moval of Smithfield Market to Islington, and the erection of abattoirs (slaughter-houses) and other buildings (From the Examiner.) The demand for the Ballot increases with the experience of every election. That such would be the case we long ago predicted ; and if the desire for secret voting had de clined, instead of spreading and strengthening, our opinion of the necessity for protection would have been as much shaken as it is now confirmed. The electors are the best witnesses as to their own pains and troubles, and, feeling the undiminished pressure of the foul influences, they claim the only defence against them. As the homely proverb says, " He who wears the shoe best knows where it pinches ;" and a practical acquaintance with the evil has taught the sufferers where to look for the remedy. Still there remains a strong prejudice against the ballot on the part of many men whose minds are less struck by the familiar vices in the existing system than by the minor evils in the remedial operation. For instance, the lie which the elector utters in voting against his judgment at the open poll is scarcely thought of, though it is akin to a verdict against the con science ; but much is said in horror of the falsehood which may beieonsequent upon giving the elector the opportunity of votink against his promises, and according to his public duty—that is, according to his sincere choice. It is clear that the man who would do the one would do the,;ptlier.• The elector who votes at the open poll i giS t itt ret preference, would, when sllield e d by th e , vo ag bit* his promise, and according to his judgment. The falsehood is common to both cases, and, as we have often remarked, the difference is simply this—that in the Ballot the public gets what it wants—the sincere choice ; and at the open poll it is cheated with a false verdict. There is this, more over, to be observed, that so long as open voting continues, the foul influences will produce about the same amount of falsehood ; but whatever falsehood may be practised after the institution of the Ballot, must be in a steady course of diminution, by the operation of distrust, as men would cease to exact promises when they could place no reliance on professions, and had no opportunity of ascertaining per formance. It is the virtue of the Ballot to make the vices self-destructive. At a dinner given to Lord John Russell at Honiton, he declared that he was still opposed to the Ballot, and gave his reasons as follows First, I must declare that the objection stated by Sir Ro bert Peel when the question was discussed in the House of Commons, and on which he mainly relied—namely, that Ballot would increase the power of the democratic branch of our Constitution, is no reason of mine—our most ancient sta tutes, our greatest constitutional lawyers, our moat established maxims, all lay down the position that the people of England ought to elect their representatives " freely and indiffe rently." Whether this right gives too much influence to de mocracy or not, I do not inquire ; the right is their's ; the only question is, whether secret voting is the manner in which it ought to be exercised ? My first objection is, that secret voting gives to the electors irresponsible power. All other authorities are exercised in the light of day, and subject to public opinion. Our courts of justice, our parliamentary discussions, are open to the world ; the voters alone are to ex ercise their power unseen and irresponsible. As we have often before observed, if this argument be good for any thing, it is for universal suffrage ; for to whom would Lord John Russell make the elector responsible but to the non-electors, who, if competent to controul and to judge of the proper exercise of the suffeage, must be no less competent to deliver it ? If the constituency be sufficiently large, its interests are identical with the public interests, and there is no need of a responsibility to make men vote in accordance wifh their notions of their interests. It is clear that we must come down somewhere to an irresponsible power. Lord John Russell would have the electoral re sponsible to the non-electoral body, but to whom is the non electoral body to be answerable for the exercise of its judgment. A people cannot be affected with political re sponsibility, and a good electoral system gives an uncon trollable power to such a portion as may have interests in good government identical with those of the whole. Lord John Russell truly states that the elector's free choice is the object desired ; but yet to submit the choice to another judgment, he would expose the voter to that which may be fatal to the freedom of his choice. And for what ? To ascertain whether he votes conscientiously ; but in the attempt to ascertain whother he votes conscien tiously (which, be it observed, can only be known with cer tainty to the elector himself,) he is to be exposed to influ ences which may prevent him from voting conscientiously. As well might a surgeon propose to ascertain the soundness of a living man's vital organs by cutting open his body and prying into his anatomy. The operation in such case is fatal to the object of the inquiry. Bajazet carried scrutiny to this sort of extremity when one of his officers was charged by a poor widow with having stolen her children's milk. The accused having protested his innocence, Bajazet said .‘ We will soon discover the truth of this matter—cut open his stomach, and let us see what is in it." This was carry ing the principle of publicity as far as it could go ; but the judge had omitted to observe, that the man, though guilt less, would be destroyed in the process of proving hishonesty. Those persons who insist on seeing the elector's vote, in order to judge of his integrity, overlooked the important consideration that, in bringing it under view, they may de stroy the freedom of choice of which they desire to assure themselves. Lord John Russell proceeds as follows : Let us consider, in the next place, how contrary this prac tice (i.e. secret voting) would be to our habits and feelings. The elector is proud of his independence ; be he Whig, Tory, or Radical, he boasts of the candidate of his choice ; he wears his colours ; he adopts his motto ; he follows his banner. Can you, or ought you to, prevent this honest and open exhibition of the free spirit of Englishmen ? But we are told that this may still continue for the voters who are independent, while the rest may keep their opinion a secret. Have those who thus argue considered the consequence ? We should then have two classes of voters—one open, bold, and manly ; the other skulking from an avowal of their sentiments, bearing about with them the load of anxious concealment, and afrair' to whisper even to their nearest connections thQ dmgerous secret. Lord John Russell views the subject on one side, and on that one side but imperfectly. The elector may be proud of his independence when he happens to be independent ; but how many are dependent, in various degrees, upon landlords, patrons, customers, &c., and such as these are obliged to boast the candidate not of their choice, to wear his colours, to adopt his motto which their hearts spurn, to follow his banner which they would trample under foot. Ought you, we ask of Lord John Russell, to permit of this moral degradation of the men, and prostitution of the fran chise ? Lord John Russell observes, that the Ballot would give us two classes of voters, " The one open, bold, and manly ; the other skulking from the avowal of their sentiments, and bearing about with them the load of anxious concealment." And what is the condition of the dependent elector in the present system, who votes against his judgment ? For very shame, rather than confess himself a slave, he falsely pro fesses opinions in accordance with his extorted vote, " shrinks from the avowal of his sentiments, and bears about with him a load of anxious concealment." The Ballot would give this man—and there are, unhappily thousands such —a place of power for the dictates of his conscience, and from the moment that he could securely oppose the will of his oppressors, they would feel the danger of at tempting to tyrannize, and the hypocrisies would cease with the motives for it. Falsehood and artifice are the offspring of oppression, and the Ballot puts an end to oppression by making it defeat its own object, for to stir resentment would be to provoke an adverse vote where the act of revolt could not be witnessed. Lord John Russell's error appears to us to be this : he supposes two things incompatible with each other ; first, and truly, that the Ballot would afford protection against corrupt influence ; and secondly, that the practice of at tempting to influence would remain in full vigour, notwith standing the operation of the Ballot. Among the evils of open voting the counterfeit opinion of those who profess iSolititics corresponding with their votes, but against their judgments, has not been sufficiently noticed, and we propose, on a future occasion, to observe more fully upon that part of the subject. In proportion to the value of public opinion must be the mischief of any spurious show of opinion which passes for the genuine —it is false evidence. Lord John Russell concluded as follows : Will this be an improvement of our institutions ? lam sensible, gentlemen —no man more so--of the progress which the question of Ballot has made during the late elections ; nor will I deny that, as an ultimate remedy, we may be obliged to adopt it—but let us first exhaust every other. If, by the force of public opinion and public shame--if, by rigid investi gation and exemplary punishment, we can find means to check intimidation and corruption, let these means be fully tried, Nay, more—let all hope of a remedy by these means be ter minated before we agree to a change at variance with our ancient habits, inconsistent with our best institutions, and de grading to, ow national spirit, We confess that we have no respect for the " ancient habit" of intimidating voters, and we are zealous advocates for the un-English novelty of a free choice. As for Lord John Russell's reliance on exemplary punishment for the correction of the evil s there is this one olliectieu to IL, made ( From the Staffordshire Advertiser.) A sumptuous entertainment was given on Friday the 16th instant in the Town Hall, Tamworth, by the Right Hon. Sir R. Peel, Bart., M. P., &c., to a large party of his constitu ents and friends. The company could not consist of less, we should think, than from 250 to 300 persons ; among whom were Edmund Peel, Esq., M. P. for Newcastle ; W. P. Inge, Esq., General Dyott, General Yates, C. E. Repington, Esq., W. Leigh, Esq., ( Aston) E. Grove, Esq., J. S. Man. ley, Esq., S. P. Shaw, Esq., S. P. Wolferstan, Esq., H. Stokes, Esq. R. Fowler, Esq., Major Bamford, Lieutenant- Colonel Dickenson, Captain R. Peel, T. Arnold, Esq., (Bai liff of Tamworth) F. Willington, Esq., (Town Clerk,) William Peel, jun., Esq., E. Peel, jun., Esq., C. Harding, Esq., J. Flavel, Esq., R. Whillock, Esq., J. Palmer, Esq., E. Wyatt, Esq., the Rev. Dr. Lally, the Rev. H. Woolley, the Rev. J. Hargreaves, the Rev. C. Thomson, the Rev. E. Blic lc. the Rev. J. Hargreaves, jun., the Rev. Mr. Hutchinson,. the Rev. W. Metcalf, the Rev. J. Owen, and the Rev. J. Kelley. The Hall was decorated with banners, evergreens, &c., and in the principal room, which is a very spacious one, three ranges of tables ran from the top to the bottom. It was found necessary, also, to have another range of tables in a second room, the folding doors of which were thrown open, and thus, in one vast apartment, as it were, this large party was comfortably accommodated. The Right Honourable Baronet took his seat at the head of the centre table soon after six o'clock. Mr. Robinson officiated as Vice-President. The banquet was served by Mr. Barton, of the King's Arms Hotel, and consisted of dishes of great va riety and excellence. Ample justice having been done to this good cheer, the cloth was drawn, and a luxurious dessert was placed upon the tables. wale 'Right Hon. CHAIRMAN gave " The health of the 'ing, upstanding; with .base times three?' Drunk with great "attlnur.,, ,WAi ithmpjame iinnp* , 443tarAnStervour, the w e7B'aiiink trie liellehN - T -4 We Qireen";" - abd e Pi : lncatr"' 11* - - Victoria, and the rest of the Royal Family." The Rev. H. R. WOOLLEY then rose and said, that he had the high satisfaction to require them to drink the health of that great, experienced, and illustrious Statesman whom, in the day of England's need, his Sovereign had called to the head of his councils, and upon whom the hopes and expectations of his country, and of all Europe, were at this moment fixed.— ( Rapturous applause.) " The health of the Right Honour able Sir Robert Peel."—( Loud and long continued cheers.) The toast was then drunk, with three times three rounds of applause, followed by an unlimited number of " One more" cheer. The rising of the Right Hon. Sir R. PIRL was but the signal for renewed acclamations. When they had subsided, the Right Hon. Baronet said— Gentlemen—There are occasions, and this is one of them, on which the manifestations of attachment and confidence on the one part are so marked, and the feelings they excite on the other are so strong, that the most natural and most unaffected forms of speech are best suited to the expression of those feel ings. I will add nothing, therefore, to the simple assurance that I most sincerely and most cordially thank you.—( Cheers. ) It was a source of deep regret to me that I had not the op portunity Previously to the election of soliciting in person a renewal of your confidence, and of appearing at the hustings in the face of my constituents, to give an account of my past, and to explain the principles on which my future conduct in Parliament would be regulated. Nothing should have pre vented this but that cause which will be in your eyes a com plete justification of my absence—the entire devotion of my time to the dispatch of that arrear of official business which had accumulated previously to my arrival in England, and during the period that I was occupied in the formation of' the King's Government. I can with truth assure you, that I la boured night and day in the dispatch of that business for the express purpose of being enabled to meet you here on this occasion.—( Cheers.) There are, no doubt, constituencies more numerous and more opulent than that which I represent, but my feelings must undergo a great alteration if ever I consent to exchange for any other the representation of the borough of Tamworth, so long as my tried and valued friends are willing to accept my services in Parliament. Cheers.) The relation of a Member to his consti tuents does not depend upon their number or their wealth, and I should not have felt more anxious to explain and justify my public course to those who had given me their confidence, if I had representd 5,000 or 6,000 constituents instead of 500 or 600. And Ido hope that, if there be any elector here pre-. sent who has an explanation to seek or a question to put, he will freely exercise on this occasion the privilege which he was entitled to exercise had I been present on the hustings. Gentlemen, the change in my public position since we last met does not, in the least degree, alter my desire to give that explanation, or to answer that question. These are not the times when public men can affect Ministerial reserve, and fancy themselves exempted from the duty of frank communi cation with those whom they represent.—( Cheers.) It is because I am a Minister of the Crown that I court rather than shrink from the opportunity of such communication. It is by th© result of public discussion that as a Minister I hope to suc ceed, by dispelling unjust suspicions, by removing unfounded prejudices, by refutiug the misstatements which ignorance or malignity may put forth.--( Cheers.) It is by these instru ments that truth will ultimately prevail, and that justice will ultimately be done ; and of these instruments I shall never hesitate freely and fully to avail myself.—( Cheers.) Into the detail of measures which may be in the contemplation of the King's Government you will not expect me to enter. There can be no motive but a sense of public duty for not entering into it, for scarcely a month will elapse before an explanation must be entered into in the face of Parliament and of the country. But you well know that even if I could now give, consistent ly with my duty, an account of particular measures, 'unless that account were accompanied by the fullest explanation of every detail, nay, even if it were so accompanied, I should be only affording ground for an intermediate discussion in the most inconvenient form, and that all those who are prepared to condemn a Government without a hearing, would not con duct a discussion upon the measures of that Government with very dispassionate and unprejudiced views.--( Hear.) But as to the motives of any public act of mine, and the general prin ciples on which the Government of which I am a member will be conducted, I am prepared to give every information that either a friend or an opponent can desire. And first, as to my acceptance of office. The circumstances under which it was proposed to me, are too notorious to require any explanation. Had they been less so, this, I trust, is not the place where it would be necessary for me to vindicate myself from the charge of seeking office through any intrigue, or secret and unfair hostility towards the late Government.—( Cheers.) I left this country, never dreaming of offifre, or the return to it. I left it, strange as it may seem, 'without one wo r d o f p rev i ous com munication with my 11 . 1 . - ustrious friend, the Duke of Welling ton, as to In' intention of quitti ng E ng l an d at a ll ; and of course. . ol 'nerefore, without a w or d e ith er as to t h e place of my ...estimation, or the period of my absence. Upon the honour of a gentleman this is the literal truth ; and I ask you, if either the Duke of Wellington or I had contemplated the removal of a Government through any act or artifice of ours, was it consistent with common sense that I should leave England, or that he should allow me to leave it, without one single word of communication, direct or indirect, on public affaira?— ( Cheers.) And, gentlemen, believe me, that if there were men capable of mean intrigues against a Government there is in the highest authority in this realm intelligence to discern and honesty to defeat the intriguers, and to exclude them for ever from the confidence and favour of the Crown.._( Cheers.) But although I state the plain truth with respect to the cir cumstances under which we entered office I do not state it for the purposes of disclaiming any responsibility that can or ought to attach to us. About the personal consequences to our selves of course we have pursued neither the Duke of Welling ton nor I have bestowed a thought. We were prevented by no public principle from entering into the service of the Crown ; we were invited to enter it at a crisis of great difficulty, and we performed that duty which is as imperative on the civi lian as it is upon the soldier, which commands us not to despair of the commonwealth, and to sacrifice to the ser vice of the King, which is identical with the service of the State, the consia_tration of personal ease and personal inte rests, %, ana if you will, of personal safety._ (Loud cheer ing.) tam told, and on high authority, that by accepting office I became responsible for the removal of those who Ire ceded me, that there is a process by which responsibility can be antedated, and that by taking the vacant seat of a retired Minister, I stand in the same position as if I had in stigated and counselled the vacancy. • If this be constitutional law I must abide, and am ready to abide, by it. Anything rather than adopt the alternative, by which alone the respos sibility could have been avoided. That alternative was clearly this. I must have told the King in answer to his appeal for my assistance, " Y our M a j esty h as acted rashly anti unad visedly in parting with your Government. It is true that Lord Stanley had retired from it ; that the Duke of Rich mond had retired from it ; that Lord Ripon, that Sir James Graham, that Lord Grey had retired from it ; that, lastly, Lord Althorp had retired from it ; that the key-stone of the arch had fallen, but still your Majesty was bound to adhere to the shattered fabric that remained. What Lord Stanley may do ; what Lord Grey may do ; what all the eminent men who have left your service may do, you, the King of England, cannot do. Your discretion is fettered ; you must continue your confidence in those from whom their colleagues Imo withdrawn their co-operation. I can give you no assistance, no advice, but to supplicate Lord Melbourne and his col leagues to return."—(Laughter,and cries of, " Hear, hear.") If I had thus addressed the King I might indeed have escaped responsibility ; but, believe me, the last place in which I would have shown my face would have been in the society of spirited and loyal gentlemen.—( Loud cheers.) Of the King's late Government, or of any member of it, I say nothing disrespectful or disparaging. If I were inclined. to disparage them, I would not do it in their absence ; but lam not so inclined. When they were in power, I never jobvedl in the abuse by which they were assailed by the very men who aro now the loudest in lamenting their fall.—( Cheers.) My first act, on entering the King's service, was earnestly to advise his Majesty to form his Government on a basis as wide and comprehensive as was consistent with the principles and honour of public men, and with thP..l, view, to allow me to seek the co-operation of Lord S'l.n . ley, and of those who had acted in concurrence with in the sittiatio» 'in which I was placed, a . paramount ig that t there was t' ,n. I sought that co-operation , t° the appeal, but perfectly admitting of Lord Stanley to not a corresponding obligatumn on the part that, whatever might accept the proposal, and feeling assured In Bvo., price 10s. bound, CLAVIS HOMERICA ; sive Lexicon Vocabu lorum omnium, "gum in Homeri Iliade et potissima parte . 4 .ksseee eontinentur ; cum Indite Vocabulorum omnium, necnon :17 D ialectic et Figuris appendice : quibus accessere varia Elogia 7 Testimonia de Homero ; accessere etiam Apostolii 41'overbia Grieco-Latina.
