HIS MAJESTY'S LEVEE. Supply etrint to the London Gazette of Friday, Apia Itip published this day, April 13.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Th e • Plymouth, Saturday evening, April 1 1 . and about Exeter seeing that the re t r esignation of his Majesty's Ministers renders it hi al probable that L or d John Russell will be called on to take offi ce under th e new Government, and that in that case his Lor dship mu s t vacate h i s seat in Parliament, yesterday coin eieneed operati ons w i t h a v i ew to oppose Lord John's re tte,,°n, and to procure the return of a Tory candidate in his p"rn l kyond a doubt th e p rocee di ngs o f th e T or i es are d ,° t pted by sheer malice towards his Lordship. The candi tse whom th ey i ntend to bring forward is Montague Parker, tg Whiteway, North-Huish, in this county. This gen ,aa, is a cou s i n o f the Earl of Morley, but who else, .or tl e is, we kn ow no t. Wi t h respect to t h e E ar l o f p ose e h we should o b serve , t h at t h oug h re l ate d to t h e pro of, d Tory candidate, yet support from his Lordship cannot Port be expected. Every one remembers the great sup th which his Lordship rendered Lord John Russell during opeposlast election, when a contest was expected, owing to the are 'non offered by the Tories. No one, therefore, we 'are will f or a moment d o hi s L ordsh i p so much bti . ‘e as to suppose he would. now abandon Lord and that, t oo , in favour of a Tory candidate.- ail e fo otunderstand that a liberal subscription has been set tttend an by t the T or i es to d e f ray t h e expense which will ko on the intended contest. We are sure the anners of Devon will come forward in as equally a liberal :latter on the occas i on , so as to prevent all, .v . any, of the ;;Tense falling on Lord John Russell. In consequence of the th?,trients on th e part o f t h e T or i es at E xeter b efore stated, ' n lteforrners there h ave convene d meet i ngs , an d ma d e ar iegaments for securing his Lordship's re-election., Already ifilave commenced canvassing the electors in their district. (PI m orning, in consequence of an express arriving here of !

At twelve o'clock they it e C t ecl• George W. Soltan, Esq., was called to the chair. Bayly, E sq ., t h en state d t h e o bj ects f or w hi c h t h e tr 18 7,,e had been called_ together ; after which a resolution ‘7 ° Pted to the effect, that as the change of Ministry ,: 11 all Probability, lead to an election for the Southern Lar d of the C oun ty, on th e accep t ance o f office by Jot Russell, it was d es i ra bl e t h at measures s h o uld ca se ` I m . e diately a d o p te d to secure hi s L or d s hi p ' s return, i n qg, ll °'. an electi on .

This meeting was both land highly respectably attended, and on no occasion s : e ver see s uc h a d eterm i ne d sp i r i t ev i nce d b y all parties Itter r t r r t his Lordship than on the present. Immediately ts hei:h.tneeting was over, an active canvass was commenced 41 (ith u °f Lord John, in Plymouth, Devonport, Stonehouse, k ir a ne ighbouring parishes, which was continued till a late is L n , --4 ,,he result of which, as far as ascertained, we understand th e .17'13' s atisfactory. The Tories here (Plymouth), seeing Iss r ,l ) , r aPt measures adopted by the friends of Lord John lisv,-e„,..L,tls afternoon commenced a counter canvass ; and we Ilse, doubt they will spare neither time, money, or aught ,tsti t - . l "heir power, to endeavour to return their Tory fa -1,4-8;„ But of the result we think we can safely speak—for, Nit ilat : u te, Lord John, at this moment, stands higher in the ~Nript i f ? anf all classes in this district than ever he did. We risi o „ . (4. , 11 moment suppose that the electors of the Southern . or t i,i;.°' Devon will so far disgrace themselves as to oust his Nep t , 11 ; t 6 make way for a Tory personage, scarcely known, I name, to any one. We judge better of them. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. nr ed ll 'itie Tories were very busily engaged during the whole 4 1• P ee il l e stlay last, in getting up a hole and corner address to Sir Although l support of his views relative to the Irish Church.

THE SUN NEWSPAPER EXPRESSES RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS-AND THE IRISH CHURCH. THE SUN NEWSPAPER. —The remarkable despatch for which The Sun newspaper office has been long remarkable in trans mitting. the latest reports of the parliamentary debates, and other important news to the distant parts of the kingdom, has seldom been more striking than in forwarding the information of Ministers having resigned on Wednesday evenings A late edition of this paper, containing the whole of the parliamentary proceedings of Wednesday,with Sir R. Peel's speech at length, was received in this city at two o'clock on Thursday afternoon, from Mr. Wiley, news-agent, of Sheffield.— Yorkshire Gazette, April 11. THE SUN NEWSPAPER. —Again we have to record our ad miration of the liberal and enterprising spirit by which the conductors of The Sun newspaper are almost daily strengthen ing their claim to the patronage of the public. Immediately on the official announcement of the resignation of Ministers, they appear to have dispatched expresses to convey the intelli gence in all directions ; and within twenty hours after the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel had made the important communication in their respective Houses of Parliament, a copy of The Sun, containing a full report of the proceedings, reached our office, through the agency of Mr. Wiley, of Shef field. We lost no time in circulating the news through York —we sent the paper first to the Judges, who were proceeding with the business of the Assizes at the Castle, and afterwards we forwarded it to the news-rooms and other public places, and thus the welcome intelligence was known in every part of the city nearly three hours before the arrival of the London mail. The extraordinary exertion used by the proprietors of The Sun, on this as on other occasions, is duly appreciated by the public of York ; and it cannot fail to meet everywhere the reward justly due . to it. The express which brought the paper to us proceeded northward, and arrived at Lord Durham's, Lambton Castle, four hours before the mail.— The Yorkshire man (York), April 11. THE SUN NEWSPAPER. —On two occasions recently the public press and the inhabitants of this town generally, have been placed under great obligations to the spirited conductors of this journal, for the wonderful exertions which they have made to communicate this important political intelligence at the earliest possible period. Last week, although the long debate on Lord John Russell's motion did not terminate until past three o'clock on Friday morning—soon after twelve the same night, the express edition of The Sun was in this town with more than two pages completely occupied with the debate, down to the division of the house and the close of the business. And we actually had in our office at half-pist twelve on last Thursday noon, The Sun, with the whole speech delivered by Sir Robert Peel on Wednesday night, announcing his deter mination to resi g n . Such exertions as these cannot be too highly appreciated.—Leeds Times, April 11. THE SUN EXPRESS.—The intelligence of the resignation of Ministers was received in this town as early as eleven o'clock on Thursday forenoon, having been brought express in the almost unprecedentedly short space of fourteen hours, by Mr. Murdo Young, the spirited proprietor of The Sun newspaper. After taking refreshment, Mr. Young proceeded by a special railway train, with only one carriage, to Liverpool, where he arrived about half-past one o'clock, within half an hour of which time the intelligence was communicated to Holyhead and an swered, whence it would doubtless be conveyed to Dublin im mediately, where we are sure the information would be as ac ceptable as on this side the channel. Mr. Perry, of the City of Dublin Steam Company, would have despatched one of the Company's vessels from Liverpool to Dublin with the infor mation, if there had been one in the river. Unfortunately they were all in the dock, and, consequently, could not be got out until the state of the tide permitted the gates to be opened. A number of reformers in this town, by way of manifesting their sense of the spirited exertions which on various occasions have been displayed by Mr. Young in conveying to this, and other towns important political intelligence by express, re solved to present him with a gold snuff-box, and a subscription was forthwith entered into, which in less than two hours con siderably exceeded the requisite sum. It being expected that Mr. Young would be present at the meeting of the committees of Messrs. Thomson and Philips in the evening, it was in tended to present the box to him then ; but as he was not there, it was banded to the chairman on his behalf by Mr. G. H. Winder. Mr. Dyer, on the part of Mr. Young, acknow ledged this handsome mark of the satisfaction which thatgen tleman's exertions had given to the Manchester reformers. The box is a very large and handsome one, richly chased, and weighs seven ounces and three quarters. It has on the lid the following inscription :—" Presented to Murdo Young, Esq., Proprietor of The Sun Newspaper, 9th April, 1835, by a number of Reformers in Manchester, for his indefatigable efforts in forwarding Expresses through the Country, and especially for communicating, in Fourteen Hours, the joyful intelligence of the Resignation of the Peel Administration on the previous evening."—Manchester Guardian. The great activity of The Sun newspaper Proprietor conti nues to be manifested on every important occasion. The paper reached this office last (Thursday) night, with Sir R. Peel's speech, delivered the preceding evening, on resigning power, at half-past nine o'clock, having been only about 27 hours on the road—an instance of despatch which is almost incredible.— Newcastle Courant. We have the pleasure of returning our sincere and very best thanks to the liberal and indefatigable Proprietor of The Sun newspaper for a copy of that excellent and spirited Journal, which conveyed to us the earliest intelligence (as indeed it always has upon all important occasions) of the resignation of Ministers. We sincerely rejoice to find that the public are rewarding the unexampled exertions of the Proprietor of this respectable and truly independent paper, by conferring upon it the most extensive patronage.—Reading Mercury, April 13. THE SUN EXPRESS.—We feel ourselves under considerabl e obligation to the spirited Proprietor Of The Sun newspaper, for a copy of the Express Edition containing the division on Friday morning week on the Irish Church Question, which was received by us on Saturday. We immediately communi cated the important tidings which it contained to our readers, and everywhere they were received with gladness and exulta tion. In the evening Mr. M. Young's good health and " Success to The Sun," was drank with hearty good will by a large and respectable company of our townsmen. On Thurs day afternoon, at a quarter past five o'clock, The Sun express arrived in Lancaster, bringing the glad tidings of the resigna tion of Sir R. Peel. The news created no small degree of sensation and excitement amongst the inhabitants. Every ho nest Reformer rejoiced—whilst the few Tories that are still to be found in the town, wandered up and down, with their hands in their pockets, not knowing what to do or say. Betting is running high as to the next Premier.—Keirdal Mercury, April 11. Amongst the numerous other proprietors of provincial Papers, we again acknowledge the valuable and important aid we have received in early intelligence by the express dispatched from The Sun Newspaper office in town. We received, as our readers of last week are aware, the full particulars of the debate and decision on Lord John Rus sell's important Irish . Church motion fourteen hours earlier than the communications obtained by the ordinary channels, through the medium of Mr. Mansell, News Agent, Bir mingham. There is no recorded instance of such dispatch since the invention of printing, and it cannot fail to be justly apprecciated by all persons who take an interest in the national affairs at a crisis the most important within the memory of man.— Worcester Herald. THE SUN.—The intelligence of the defeat of the Ministry, on Wednesday morning last, was received at our office early on Thursday afternoon, by letter from our own correspondent ; and a few hours afterwards an express arrived from The San office, bringing the declaration of the Duke of Wellington and Sir R. Peel, that they had found it necessary to tender their resignations in consequence of that defeat. We have to ex press our thanks to the proprietors of The Sun for this mark of attention; by which we obtained this important intelligence many hours earlier than through the usual channels. The public in all parts of the kingdom are indebted to the con ductors of that enterprising journal, for furnishing the earliest information on every important occasion.—Devonport Tele graph, April 11. We have to`record our obligations to the spirited proprietor of The Sun newspaper, for the receipt of a copy of his Journal, containing a full report of the proceedings in Par liament on the evening of the Ministerial resignations, at eleven o'clock the following morning—thus enabling us to communicate the important intelligence to our fellow-citizens, more than six hours before the arrival of the London coaches.— Salisbury and Wiltshire Herald, April 11. THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—We are indebted, since our last, to to the spirited publishers of The Sun Newspaper for two ex presses ; the first on Saturday evening, with the report of the debate and the division on Lord John Russell's motion on the preceding morning, and the second at a quarter before ten o'clock on Thursday night, with the account of Sir R. Peel's resignation, as announced by him in the House of Commons on Wednesday evening 1 Such extraordinary exertions, to say nothing of the heavy expense which attends them, merit the thanks of the country, and we trust they will meet the reward and encouragement they are so justly entitled to.—Newcastle Chronicle. It is only common justice to state, that the public through out England, Scotland, , and Ireland, have been indebted for their earliest intelligence of the resignation of Ministers and of all the recent important divisions in Parliament, to the unpre dented exertion of The Sun, whose Express brought copies of that paper, containing Sir Robert Peel's Speech on his resig nation to this town , as early as half-past twelve o'clock on Thursday.—LeedsMercury. At length the Whigs have effected what they call their triumph, by forcing Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues to abandon office. We copy, from an Express Edition of The Sun, the Ministerial announcement of this resignation in both Houses of Parliament, on Wednesday evening.— Glasgow Free Press, April 11. THE SUN EXPRESSES.—Again we have the pleasing duty of acknowledging the obligations of the country to the proprietor of The Sun, for his perseverance in the system of sending, by express, important news. His express, with Sir R. Peel's speech on his resignation, which was delivered in the House between six and seven o'clock on Wednesday evening, reached Mr. Wiley's, in this town, at half-past nine o'clock next morn ing. Mr. Wiley immediately despatched horse expresses to Doncaster, York, and Huddersfield, and proceeded himself, in a chaise and pair, to Leeds, Darlington, Durham, and Lamb ton Castle, where he had the honour of communicating the news to the Earl of Durham, at nine o'clock on Thursday evening. From Durham, Mr. Wiley sent a horse express to Newcastle. Alas 1 ror the hopes of the Tories, this famous address, (from those who, three months ago, did not dare to propose a candidate for Sheffield,)- which was to enable Sir Robert, with his Knatchbull and Roden associates, to make sorf , e" qU 3° r ;7 v.' et' C3 )l m• de' a i to!, i :-., ; 9 fi ' Ifl a 0 3 I 9 4 9 4 to- 3 * is. per ,pcl t he . 3 1 pal p altlor, t he ttol orts roe tbe orzig" tha t r ; the d On .(1 sc iLb porar,y THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1R35. 'head against the victorious majority of the Commons, carne too late. The mail by which it was conveyed to London met the express of The Sun, bringing the news of the resignation. Now, therefore, we suppose that the Sheffield Tories, having existed, like the ephemera, their little day, will sink again into the state of political quiescence, from which they have only emerged to learn the wholesome lessons of adversity.— Sheffieldindependent, April 11. We acknowledge ourselves indebted to a second edition of The Sun for the manly explanation of Sir Robert Peel, with which we furnish our readers, on his announcement of the re signation of the Ministry. Laying political differences aside, we must give The Sun great credit for its exertions, and attention to the provincial papers, in all cases of extraordinary interest to the nation.--Barnstaple Advertiser, April 10. We are indebted to the exertions of the public-spirited pro prietor of The Sun for an express edition, containing - the speech of Sir Robert Peel, announcing to the House of Com mons the formal resignation of the Administration, which we here hive entire.— The Cambrian, April 10. We are indebted to an express edition of The Sun, dated six o'clock, Wednesday night, for the information respecting the resignation of Ministers.—Stockport Advertiser. THE SUN EXPRESS.—Through the extraordinary exertions of Mr. Murdo Young, proprietor of The Sun, the intelligence of the resignation of Ministers was made known throughout the country with a rapidity seldom paralleled. A second edition of that paper; containing the whole of the proceedings in both Houses of Parliament on Wednesday evening, was received at Chesterfield at eight o'clock on Thursday morning. Had it not been for Mr. Young's spirited exertion, the information would not have been received in this town until Friday at noon. We have to express our grateful acknowledgments to the pro prietor of The Sun for having supplied us with a copy of the paper : also to Mr. Wiley, news, agent, Sheffield, who kindly forwarded us a second edition of that journal, which enabled us to place it in the Chesterfield News-room.—Derbpshire Cou rier, April 11. RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS.—We have again to notice the spirited exertions of Mr. Young, proprietor of The Sun. On Thursday forenoon we received, per favour of his agent, Mr. Wiley, a copy of that journal (express), containing the Par liamentary intelligence of the resignation of his Majesty's Mi nisters. The express left London at half-past seven on Wed nesday evening, and arrived in Sheffield at half-past nine on Thursday morning. Expresses were immediately forwarded to Doncaster, York, and Huddersfield ; and Mr. Wiley him self left Sheffield at twenty minutes to ten, A.M., and arrived at Leeds at twenty minutes past twelve ; Darlington at six, P. M. ; Durham at eight ; and at the Right Hon. Earl Durham's, Lambton Castle, at nine—leaving Express Editions of The Sun at all the towns he passed through.—Sheffield Mercury. SUN EXPRESS.—An express edition of The Sun, London Evening Paper, containing the intelligence that, his Majesty's Ministers had resigned, reached Liverpool, via Manchester, at half-past one o'clock on Thursday. At Manchester, a rail road engine, with one carriage, was engaged to convey the express to this town. Within half-an-hour after its arrival here, the news was telegraphed to Holyhead, and answered. Mr. Perry, of the City of Dublin Company, would have despatched one of the Company's vessels to Dublin with the information, if there had been one in the river. Unfortunately they were all in the dock, and, consequently, could not be got out until the state of the tide permitted the gates to be opened. In common with the public in general, we are much indebted to the conductors of The Sun for the extraordinary exertions they are in the habit of making, in order to give the earliest intimation of what is going on at head-quarters.— Liverpool Chronicle, April 11. THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—We beg to tender our thanks to the spirited proprietor of this paper, for his kindness in for warding the Express Edition containing the whole of the Parliamentary Debates of Wednesday. Opposed as we are politically to the principles of that able Journal, we more highly appreciate this courtesy on the part of the Proprietor, and we shall feel much pleasure in making a return " in kind," when ever an opportunity may offer.— Gloucestershire Chronicle. THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—We have again been under deep obligations to The Sun newspaper for its wonderful exertions. On Saturday evening last it brought us the entire debate and division on Lord John Russell's motion, although the debate did not close till near three o'clock on Friday morning. And yesterday (Friday) morning, about half past one, an express arrived from the same office with Sir Robert Peel's speech in the House of Commons on Wednesday evening, announcing his resignation. We trust the public will not fail to show a just appreciation of these unprecedented exertions.—Carlisle Journal, April 11. We_feel great pleasure in returning our very cordial thanks to the able and spirited Editor of The Sun, for favouring us with two Expresses, bringing the important news of the defeat and resignation of the Peel Ministry. The latter of these Expresses we received on Thursday evening, about five o'clock, containing a full report of the Premier's speech, on retiring from office. The unceasing efforts of Mr. Young to commu nicate the earliest possible intelligence to the provincial press cannot be too highly appreciated.—Devonport Independent, April 11. The express edition of The Sun, received by Mr. M'Phun to-day, contains a much fuller account of Peel's speech, and the resignation of Ministers, than is to be found in any of the other London papers.—Glasgow Chronicle. THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—The exertions of Mr. Young, the Proprietor and Editor of this Newspaper, continue as un abated as ever. We learn from the Glasgow Papers, that an edition of this paper arrived at the office of Mr. M'Phun, in that city, four hours before the arrival of the mail on Sunday, which contained full reports of Thursday evening debates, and the subsequent division. We have repeatedly through the kindness of Mr. M'Phun, Mr. Young's Glasgow agent, in sending us express editions of The Sun from Glasgow, had news of importance many hours earlier than we would other wise have received them. Certainly The Sun deserves a large share of public patronage. —Kilmarnock Journal. THE SUN EXPRESS.—By the spirited exertions of Mr. Murdo Young, the proprietor of The Sun newspaper, the announcement of the resignation of Ministers, as made in Parliament on Wed nesday evening, was known in Manchester on Thursday forenoon, soon after eleven o'clock, about which time we were favoured by Mr. Lewis with a copy of The Sun, containing a full report of Sir R. Peel's speech on the occasion. In consideration of this and previous efforts since the opening of the present brief ses sion of Parliament, a subscription was on Thursday afternoon set on foot by several respectable persons of the town, in order to present Mr. Young with an acknowledgment of his services; and in less than two hours a sufficient sum was raised for the purchase of a beautiful gold snuff-box, which has since been presented to Mr. Young, through Mr. J. C. Dyer. —Manclies ter Advertiser, April 11. The great activity of The Sun newspaper proprietor con tinues to be manifested on every important occasion. The paper reached this office last (Thursday) night, with Sir R. Peel's speech, delivered the preceding evening,, on resigning power, at half-past nine o'clock, having been only about 27 hours on the road—an instance of dispatch which is almost incredible.—Newcastle Courant. The Sun, containing the speech of Sir Robert Peel, in which he stated that Ministers had resigned, was brought to Plymouth by despatch, and was received here a considerable time before the arrival of the mail.—Plymouth Herald. Sir Robert Peel's last dying speech and confession, for which we are indebted to an Express Edition of The Sun, will be found in another part of our paper.—The Welchman, April 10. In a second edition of our last Gazette, we published the important division in the House of Commons on Friday morn ing, upon the appropriation of the Irish Church surplus reve nue. We were again indebted to the kind exertions of the proprietor of The Sun evening newspaper, for a parcel with express editions of that paper, containing a full report of the debate on the fourth clay. Since the above was written, we received an express edition of The Sun of Wednesday, contain ing the important resignation of the Ministers. The pro prietors of The Sun paper sent an especial express the whole way from London to Devonport.— Woolmer's Exeter Gazette, April EXTRAORDINARY EXPEDITION.—We have to acknowledge ourselves under great obligations to Mr. Young, the spirited Editor of The Sun, and also to Mr. T. Wiley, News Agent, 12, Haymarket, Sheffield, through whose combined exertions an Express reached our office, in York, about Thursday noon, with a printed report of the resignation of Ministers, as an nounced the previous night in Parliament. The news was soon after communicated to the public and in, the Courts, and caused a very great sensation throughout the city.--York Herald, April 11. The Sun, as usual, took the lead in communicating to the country, the important announcements made in Parliament on Wednesday night. The speech of Sir Robert Peel on that evening was published at length in an express edition of that paper, which reached this city before seven o'clock on Thursday morning. The public spirit of the proprietors is deserving of universal support.—Gloucester Journal. An Express Edition of The - Sun, containing the whole of Sir Robert Peel's speech, announcing his resignation, in the liouselof Commons, on Wednesday evening, was received at our office, at ten minutes before eight o'clock last night 1 The messenger had travelled the distance from London to this city, 265 miles, in little more than 24 hours. The proprietor of The Sun deserves the greatest praise for his spirited exertions to communicate important intelligence to the remotest corners of the kingdom, with a promptitude and despatch that is not merely creditable but wonderful. The messenger went on to Lambton Castle immediately. The glorious news was received with the greatest satisfaction here ; and the tolling of the Town-hall bell, by order of our public-spirited Mayor, made the whole town acquainted with the glad tidings within five minutes after their arrival.—D urham Chronicle, April 10. TEE SUN NEWSPAPER.—EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCH.—We have several times had occasion to allude to the great ex ertions of the spirited proprietors of The Sun London paper, in furnishing early intelligence of the doings of Parliament. Since tba time our last paper went to press, we have had two expresses from The Sea office, (for copies of papers by both of which we have to return our thanks) the former of which brought the news of the first division on Lord John Russell's Irish Church Bill, which division did not take place till three o'clock on Friday morning, and the intelligence arrived here at ten minutes past nine on Saturday morning. The news of the resignation of Ministers was communicated through an express edition of The Sun, containing the whole of the par liamentary intelligence of Wednesday night, (including Sir R. Peel's speech,) which was received here, 217 miles from town, in nineteen hours and a quarter after its delivery in London, anticipating the morning papers by twenty-two hours, and the other evening papers by twenty-seven hours.—Preston Pilot, April 11, DUBLIN. (FROM OVR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The Tories are setting their house in order at this side of the water too, and paving the way for a good out-and out factious opposition. A brushing up of their old Anti- Reform rigmarolery is taking place, and they meditate a re-appearance in the same unchequered garb of blue dyed in grain, which they put aside during the few short months that they thought to impose upon the world, as "salutary Reformers." The Coronation Oath has been taken out of the arms-chest of the Orange press, and furbished up for a coat of mail. It was laid up in lavender as soon as Sir Robert gave a hint about lopping away 2.5 per cent. of the tithe. That was pronounced to be a heaven-born mea sure admirably conservative of all the rights and possessions of the Church. It proposed to take away one pound out of every four ; yet was it applauded to the very echo as just and desirable. But now, seeing that the loaves and • fishes are not, even by such a sacrifice, to be retained, the Church property in its complete entireity, has again roused these honest champions from their slumbers. The Evening Mail of Wednesday resumes the exploded note in these terms :—" To the act of alienating one farthing from the Established Church, the King cannot assent without perjury." A delicate beginning this, and wide as the poles removed from " faction !" The distress of the zealous scribe has something of .the ludicrous about it. Thus he endeth his lamentation=" It (appropriation) is a monster conceived in rapine, nurtured on perjury, and growing up into revolu tion. Is there no Hercules to bruise its head ?" Alas ! no. "On my word, Captain, there's no such here." The extravagance is not all on one side. The Freeman's Journal, a paper which affects to consider Mr. O'Connell too tame, and Feargus O'Connor himself, sometimes slow of heart and action, raises a fine outcry against the return to power of Earl Grey. Here follows the Freeman's rhap sody : - " The Noble Earl's accession to power would be'the signal for an universal outbreak in Ireland. His very name is abhorred ; we have had enough of the tyrant in friend's garb, and if oppression is still to be our lot, let us, in resistance —for in that case resist we will—have at least an open foe to encounter. What—submit again to Draco's rule ? ,Never—rather let every man, woman, and child in Ireland perish." The Evening Mail quotes this passage with rapture, and exclaims—" This is good, most excellent." And so indeed in would be most excellent for the purposes of the Tory party, if the Freeman's Journal were the acknowledged organ of any one party, or section, or segment of a party in Ireland. But it is not. Though written with great power and eloquence, it is but the organ of the proprietors and editors, whose sentiments in hyperbolical phrase it here trumpets forth, to the infinite wonder of those who read its paragraphs, and the no slight gratification of the Standard and Dublin Evening Mail, which quote largely from its columns. The Pilot and Register, which represent Mr. O'Connell and the Radical party with equal fidelity, freedom, and ability, " have no such stuff in their thoughts." They speak of Earl Grey's return to the station, which no man ever filled with more just claims to popular gratitude and affection, with evident satisfaction. The General Order for firing " with effect" is received in this country with various feelings. I have heard that it is accompanied with private directions that, in case of a collision with the people, the soldiers shall be brought for ward in alternate files, according to the practice c a lled " street-firing," which is said to have the merit of being very elective. At all events the new tactique is a mani fest emanation from one skilled in the matte; and whose principle it is and has been of old, that " there shall be no mistake." This order, coupled with Sir Henry Hardinge's ardent profession of attachment and protection to the side-arms, makes us hug ourselves at the prospect of being soon under the shelter of a constitutional Government. THY PROMISES ARE BROKEN. Thy promises are broken, Thy faith is cast aside, The fatal words are spoken,— Thou art another's bride ! Too soon thou hast forsaken One, who loved thee more than life, And, with constancy unshaken, Would have cherished thee as wife. But I will not reprove thee, Thy falsehood I forgive, For I cannot cease to love thee, Until I cease to live. We are for ever parted,— And, oh ! may'st thou be gay, Forget the stricken-hearted Whom sorrow wastes away ; May he, to whom is plighted Thy vow—thou perjured one ! Love thee, as would the blighted In happiness, have done. But I will not reprove thee, Thy falsehood I forgive, For I cannot cease to love thee, Until I cease to live. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Although the law which sentences a fellow-citizen to imprisonment at the discretion of a creditor be manifestly bad, yet it is in high favour with some very well-meaning men. In the clauses of Sir J. Campbell's bill—a bill, by the bye, which, even in its details, is as free from faults, either of commission or of omission, as great legal experience and astuteness could secure—the small trader sees the destruction of his business. He and—as he would tell you with emphasis—he, and his father before him, have done business in this particular manner, and in no other can a living be got. He means that it has long been the practice of tradesmen to give credit and take the power of imprisonment as their only—because it is the shortest, and therefore, they think, the best—protection, saving the exercise of all inquiry into character, and all caution as to sending out articles on credit. This credit system supported by the barbarous power of arrest, is interwoven so closely with all the dealings of the tradesman, that he does not look upon it merely as a mail, a component, or even a principal part, but be holds it to be the entire fabric of all his business, the prop of his profit, and the palladium of prosperity—the living substance of his mercantile transactions. He is, therefore, naturally enough alarmed at any measure which admits preju dice to put in its imaginary fears. The very unstable condi tion, too, of the small tradesmen, at the same time that it ren ders them particularly adverse to any diminution of their pre sent legal power, furnishes also some excuse for their hostility, for to this class a loss or bad debt is often ruinous. But surely thi s i s no argument for the continuance of a bad law ; it is rather a reason why such traders, so exposed to ruin, should desire the discontinuance of a state of things under which they must now either run ruinous risk, or shut up their shops. If Sir J. Campbell's bill were to pass, the demand for and ex pectation of an unwholesome credit would almost wholly cease amongst the customers of a large class of tradesmen. Would not this be a benefit—a real, a substantial good to them ? Nor after a time, perhaps, would traders generally throughout tire country be expected to give credit to any but those whom it might be given to with safety. lam confident that Sir J. Campbell's bill is calculated to confer a boon on tradesmen, as well as to effect improved habits generally throughout the whole range of society. Can any unprejudiced man deny the evils of the existing law? Will any person say that the pre sent law of debtor and creditor, which puts into the power of the latter to imprison the former at any moment he chooses, on a mere affidavit of debt, does not require revision and re form ? Imprisonment for debt, taken in the whole extent of its operation, is virtually a violation of that liberty of the sub ject which is eminently the birthright of Englishmen. The law is as unwise as it is arbitrary and cruel. It gives to the individual the power that of right only resides in the commu nity, and that which was designed for a protection to traders is, in reality, no protection at all; for under no possible change of system can fraud—the grossest and most barefaced fraud and dishonesty—flourish in greater rankness than it does at the present time. Some persons have fallen into the error of supposing that it is proposed to abolish imprisonment in all cases of debt. This however is a great mistake, as will be _seen by a reference to Sir J. Campbell's bill, or to its Abstract, which lately appeared in your paper. The common law attorneys, who have a vested interest in the continuance of abuses, and whom, as a body, I am preju diced and old-fashioned enough to think always selfish, grasp ing, and hard-hearted, and often dishonest, are busy in getting up an opposition to the bill. I trust, however, that every tradesman will think for himself, and not listen to interested mis-statements, and the result will be his support of the mea sure in question ; a measure, be it remembered, that does not abolish imprisonment for debt in any case of fraud, and that compels the debtor to give up all his property for the payment of his debts.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, _ MERCATOR. THE AUTHOR OF " PAUL PRY."—" All who delight in fun, drollery, and eccentricity," observes the Court Journal, " will, we arc sure, hail with satisfaction the appear ance of the forthcoming a Sketches and Recollections,' by the Author of ' Paul Pry.' Whoever, indeed, is at all acquainted with the laughable delineations of existing life and manners which have proceeded from the pen of this admired dramatist, must have lamented that they have not hitherto been published in a connected form. Mr. Poole must have met with very many strange characters in the world, whose portraitures cannot fail to afford the highest amusement. We arc much mistaken if Matthews or Liston do not speedily discover that Mr. Poole's volumes may be turned to rare account. THE COLOSSEUM.—The numerous attractions of this unrivalled exhibition have received an addition by some very pretty scenery being added to the S wiss Cottage. It consists of a view of a lake seen through the crevices of a cavern, with a range of mountains in the distance. A town on the bank of the lake fires salutes from time to time, and the lake is covered with boats which sail in all directions, di minishing and increasing in size as they appear more or less to the view. In the foreground is a watermill in operation, with smoke issuing from the chimneys. The effect of the whole has the reality of life, and is very creditable to the artist and mechanist who have got up this allusion.

HECTOR FIERAMASCA ; OR, THE (IHAL LENGE OF BARLETTA. 131' THE MARQUIS OF D'AZEOLIO. TRANSLATED FROM TILE ITALIAN. _Longman, 1835. There exists not a lover of elegant literature, who, after perusing this interesting historical tale, will not thank the translator for having presentecl it to the British public in a form intelligible to all classes of readers. The author, who is son-in-law of the far- famed Manzoni, is a nobleman of great abilities and extensive research in the literature of the middle ages. Nevertheless, the translator informs us that, on the first appearance of this work in Italy, about three years ago, the author's claim to its sole production was doubted, the public attributing it to Manzoni himself. In style and sentiment, the " Challenge of Barletta " bears the strongest possible resemblance to the " Betrothed," and yet it does no appear to us that both works are the production of the same author. The incidents in the " Betrothed" are more striking, and the characters more strongly marked and directly opposed to each other than they are in the tale now before us. The difference between them is the difference between sculpture and painting—the successful efforts of the pencil and brush charm the eye in the one, but in the other the chisel, has left mate rials for the sense of feeling as well as sight. Any person who recollects the interview between Car dinal Borromeus and the unknown bandit of the castle in the "Betrothed" can require no further illustration of of the superioty of Manzoni's genius in this respect. At the same time, in keenness of observation, in dis covering the peculiarities of every-day life, and in the nice adaptation. of shape, features, and general habits to subsequent acts, the Marquis D ' AZEGLIO stands almost alone. His descriptions of the bull-fights, tournaments, and public entertainments, common in Italy during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, are as vivid and as correct as if he had witnessed them all in his own proper person. Most of the characters who figure in this tale are drawn from history. The scene is laid in Naples during the `P ontificate of Alexander 111. and the bloody career of his son, the Duke of Va lentinois, better known by the name of Caesar Borgia, when the possession of Italy was contested by the arms of the Emperor and Louis XII. King of France. The character of Borgia, who is a prin cipal personage in this tale, is finely drawn. The fol lowing extract is a brief sketch of the history of the only attendant who accompanied him, when about to betray his former allies the French into the power of Gonsolva " Don Michael had a youthful and lovely wife, and a younger brother, a bachelor, lived in his house. The beauty of his sister-in-law had such an effect on this youth, that-- abandoning all regard to morality or the consequences, he used every means to seduce her, and succeeded. But he did not succeed so well as to prevent the plot bein g discovered by a servant maid, who inform e d th e h us b an d. The latter having placed himself in ambush, surprised them. Drawing his poiard he attempted to murder them both at the same time, but it chanced that they escaped out of his hands with some slight wounds. So exasperated was he at the wrong received, that he endeavoured to trace his brother, who, with the lady, fled to some place of secur it y , an d d eterm i ne d to kill him at all costs. But the brother having heard of the deadly oath of the injured husband, managed to defend himself in different ways, so as to set at nought all the other's designs; and the offended man, entirely despairing of being able to inflict his vengeance, was, by the excess of passion, carried almost to the grave. " In the mean time the jubilee of the year 1.500 occurred ; and in the town where Don Michael resided there were abun dance of processions, and penitences, and public preachings, by means of which several party disputes were made up, and families and individuals pacified; and amongst the rest Don Michael also seemed resolved to lay aside all rancorous feel ings, and. devote himself to holy things. But the brother would not suffer himself to be persuaded to an interview, spite of the numerous kindly and sacred protestations that came from the other side. At the end of a holy year, employed by Don Michael in continual penances and religious pursuits, he determined to abandon the world entirely ; and going to a mo nastery of Scalzi, entered into his noviciate ; and that being completed, pronounced the solemn vows. Sent by his supe riors into various parts of Spain, and even as far as Rome, in order to study theology, he became very learned, and on his return to his country with the reputation of being a particularly holy man, the rank of priesthood was conferred on him. He went through the first mass with the usual pomp, amidst a crowd of relations and friends, and other people. After its conclusion, returning into the sacristy, he seated himself (such is the custom) with his Priest's cope still on his back, upon a stool, which his friends and relations approached one after ano ther, in order to kiss his hand, and give him the congratulator)? embraces. Ile had been repeatedly heard to deplore the ha tred he had so many years nourished against his brother, and frequently to sny that the only desire in the world which he now had, was not only to obtain oblivion and forgiveness for the past, but likewise, as a servant of God, to be the first and the humblest in offering it. Upon this solemn occasion, moved by the entreaties of all his relations, the brother at last resolved to go with the others. As he advanced he began a humble address, while the priest, extending his arms, pressed him to his bosom ; but instead of the brother again raising his head, his knees were seen to f a il, an d lie sunk on the ground with a dreadful groan ; and the priest, brandishing a small dagger, which in that embrace he had plunged into his brother's heart, 'kissed the still reeking blade, spurned the corpse with his foot; and then exclaimed, " I have caught thee at last l" The wretch escaped; and such was the confusion and amazement of the bystanders, that no efforts were made to detain him. For this crime he was banished, under pain of death if found. He fled from country to country, until he took refuge in Rome, where he was protected by the Duke of Valentinois. The latter took but little trouble to find out his virtues, but soon found him of use in most important affairs, and the villainous priest soon became the life of all his undertakings." The close of this tale is remarkably striking, and, in our opinion, singularly beautiful. The fate of the hero, who is a soldier of Fortune under Colonna, re minds us of the last moments of young Ravensworth in the " Bride of Lamermoor." Indeed, so striking is the semblance that one would almost be tempted to believe the main incidents were borrowed one from another. The description of the battle of the cham pions of France and Italy, is equal to anything in Scott. This work deserves to be incorporated among standard works of fiction. THAUMATURGIA, OR ELUCIDATIONS OF THE MARVELLOUS. Br As OXONIAN. London, Churton. 1835. The title of this book is a misnomer. It is a brief history of the marvellous, not an elucidation of its ac credited wonders. The author's acquaintance with the writings of some of ,the most celebrated men, who have preceded him in the task which he proposed to himself, appears extensive ; but he underrates the pe netration of the intelligent of the present generation, if he imagines that a show of learning, accompanied with an attempt at wit and satire, is all that is wanted to banish the belief of the occasional inter positions of spiritual agency from the minds of those most open to the evidences of truth. We are ready to admit that there are some superstitions which are most effectually eradicated by ridicule. We confess, moreover, that it is extremely difficult to employ any other weapon successfully, because all superstitions are presumed to be based • on principles incomprehensible to human understanding. But ridicule is a two-edged sword, which once unsheathed in defence of religion may be as forcibly directed against the assailant as the' assailed. All who are acquainted with the literature of France during the eighteenth century must admit this. But notwithstanding these objections, the " Elucida tions of the Marvellous" is a very curious book and displays throughout marvellous powers of re search. As a compilation of superstitions, it, is, as far as we know, unequalled in the lan guage. The theological works of Hay, Campbell, Clarke, Burkett, Paley, Browne, and other English divines, are principally directed against infidelity gene rally, except the first and second authors above men tioned, who devoted their attention to miracles. But our author goes very differently to work. Before con demning superstitions in the gross, he gives them all in detail, beginning with the devil and ending with quack doctOrs; His chapters on dreams, visions, and spiritual appearances are - curious ; his elucidations of the cabalistic mysteries of the Jews, and hi s ex p os iti on of the superstitions preval en t in the West Indies, ex tremely interesting. POEMS, VT THE L4TE HONOURABLE WILLIAM R. SPENCER ; d NEW EDITION, WITII A BIOGRAPHICAL ENGRAVING. London—Cochrane and Co., 1835. The Poems of the late Mr. Spencer are so well known to the public that it might appear imgertinence in us to do more than announce their publication in a neat . little volume, which may be purchased for the trifling sum of seven-and-six-pence. To the poems is pre fixed a brief memoir of the justly lamented author, whoa died at Paris in Oct. 1834, having attained the patriarchal age of sixty-five. ,Mr. Spencer was the intimate friend of the most celebrated literary men of his own time, and although he wrote but little, was highly esteemed. both as an accomplished scholar, and a man of wit andi humour. His biographer Impetus that he did not apply himself to the production of a longer work, instead of contenting hitnself with writing verses for the amuse ment of his friends. We see no cause for such regret, although we should have wished he had devoted more of his leisure to ballad-writing. Our earliest recol— lections of poetry are associated with the perusal of his " Beth Gelert, or Grave of the Greyhound," over which we remember dropping tears ; nor could we now read it without emotion. CAPTAIN SWORD AND CAPTAIN PEN, A POOH, Br LEIGH HUNT. Knight, London. This book is dedicated to Lord Brougham. In the Pre fix we are told that " the poem is the result of a sense of duty "—and we can readily believe that the sus taining moral consciousness of a good and high in tent has imparted a more than ordinary grace and ac tivity to the peculiar talents of the author. His pur pose is to pourtray war as it is—to show the horrors of the field of battle--to strip the man-destroyer of the factitious reputation with which a pernicious fallacy has invested him, and to point out to all that path of peace which leads to good will towards man, bringing us, at the same time, nearer to the Almighty Benevo lent Creator. " Nothing," says a venerable philoso pher, " can be worse than the general feeling on the subject of war." When men become more intelligent, war will be deprecated as much for its mischievous effects on the national interest, as it is now by good and intelligent men denounced for its harrowing and devastating horrors. The Poem consists of six cantos (with illustrations) written in a measure like that of " Chtistabel." 'We are not of the number of those hypercritical detractors who place Mr. Hunt with the miminee-pimminee pro fessors in a school of affectation, nor do we intend to offer any remarks either against the mechanical struc ture of the verse, or the general execution of the work. Mr. Hunt is unquestionably an original writer, and if his productions have defects, they are sufficiently well known, and need no farther advertance in this place. The Poem opens with a description of how Captain Sword marched to war— " Captain Sword got up one day, Over the hills to march away." The Captain gains a victory, and this gives occasion for a fearfully vivid description of the field of battle. We soon after see the Captain at a ball, where the Poet insinuates a moral to the ladies, which, we fear, they will not appreciate, until the frivolities and fallacies which have long been their only education shall give place to a better culture of the mind. The Sword's sway is in the end succeeded by that Of the Pen, and our intellectual Captain is proclaimed King of Peace. Here, of course, the poem ends. Appended, however, is a postscript in prose, a ladies' one, exceeding the antcscription both in length as well as significancy. Its length, however, is with us rather a recommendation, for whether it be that the gods have not made us poetical—or whether it proceed from some defect of judgment, or want of taste—we know not ; but, in candour, we cannot 11.2 p confessing that we prefer the prose-to the poetn. Taken as a whole, however, poem and postscript, we can promise our readers much profitable pleasure from its perusal. Convinced that every word written promotive of Peace deserves encouragement—knowing that much misap-' prehension, much ignorance exists in connection with the subject of war—and recollecting, too, that even one of our best and most amiable poets, giving in, perhaps unconsciously, to popular error, apostrophizes Carnage as the daughter of the Deity 2 ---with these convictions, and that recollection, we think that the man deserves well of his country,. who comes forward to dispel the pernicious fallacies of confusion, which lead to - death and human. suffering in its bloodiest form. We need not, therefore, say • how heartily we recom mend the book. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. - HAMPSHIRE HUNT RACES, Arm: 7. A Cup, value 100 gs., 12st. each. Heats, two miles. Hon. W. Gage's Juliet (J.
