IPSWICH ELECTION. TO THE EDITOI? OF THE SUN. ,SIR—You are in error in supposing (in your Leading Ar ` „ ' c ie of Saturday) that I stated that " Mr. Dasent was not in cluded among those persons who were declared to have ab lconded in order to avoid being served with the Speaker's Warrant." Mr. Dasent was included among those persons, and the i i i istinction which I drew in his case was, that Mr. Dasent L'ing absconded had voluntarily returned, had submitted him self to the warrant, and had given evidence before the Corn- The question of Mr. Dasent's having committed b ribery was not in any way before the House, and it was agreed ,°3' all parties that the report of the Committee in that respect ', 4 ( 1 no bearing on the question of ;.how Mr. Dasent should be dealt with i n consequence o f th e re port made by the Committee, tilat he had absconded to avoid service. The manner in which the House has always hitherto dealt nth persons who have been reported by Election Committees `Q have been guilty of bribery, has been to direct the Attorney- General to prosecute them, but it has never taken this step till t he evidence was printed, and in the hands of Members. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, Rawkins's Hotel, June 13. T. GISBORNE. REPRESENTATION OF HULL. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ',The intelligence which arrived here on Thursday , that ' ll % Carruthers died the previous evening, after a short illness, t teasioned the greatest excitement in the town, and all parties ljere busily occupied in discussing the merits of different gen in order to fill the vacancy occasioned in the represen tation, Two of the principal members of the Conservative ' lll b in Hull immediately started off to London, their desti °alien being, it was understood, the Carlton Club. In the meantime the Reformers were not inactive, being most anxious t° Wipe away the stain which attaches to the town, in conse 94ence of the return of a Tory on the last occasion. Mr. h ere Y a t es , acco mpanied by Mr. Charles Pearson, arrived f ;re during the afternoon, and in the evening met a number Reformers of all grades, hastily summoned together, at the Cross Keys Hotel. He shortly addressed them explanatory of L. his political views ; but a strong objection was soon felt to t r 4, that he had not that readiness of speech and eloquence so ~, ' t !eh to be desired in a Member for Hull. His political '''l ) inion s so far as expressed, generally coincided with the meeting , excepting on the point of the suffrage—the electors of Hull having adopted the " Durham Test," and are in 'eur of Household Suffrage, Triennial Parliaments, and the °Cot. To the two latter of these Mr. Yates expressed him -4lts frie n dly, an d also in favour of extending the suffrage, but 4 'it to household suffrage. Corporation Reform he will sup ta, and the Appropriation Clause in Lord John Russell's p,..h Church Bill. • National Education had in him a friend ; ?ging in the Army, and Impressment , a determined oppo -4'1- Mr. Yates having withdrawn, a discussion ensued, and r esolution was at length passe, that e oinions expressed ro tting, Mr. Yates were eminently accordant the p with those held by s the nting, but that it carefully abstained from any pledge of sup rlll't to hi m until the claims of other gentlemen had been first estigated. Mr. Joseph Sykes, jun., a gentlemen resident , 'lt Hull, nephew of Daniel Sykes, and who contested unsue- Z,sfully Beverley at the last election, was applied to, but Led an unwillingness to come forward. The Hon. Charles ' ll gdale was also mentioned, and it is believed that he was i i ! a dY to offer himself, should the electors incline to support t:, t a ; and in the town there was a very general feeling in his 4° ll r. A general opinion seemed to prevail, that a townsman lid, if possible, be invited, and attention was spontaneously reted to Colonel Perronet Thompson, who is the son of the t Thomas Thompson, banker, of Hull ; a man universally e 'ered, and who is likewise connected with some of the first ;tallies in the town. Mr. Hill, it was generally understood, 'uld not again offer. GLORIOUS UNION OF ALL REFORMERS. un Friday an adjourned meeting was held at the Cross e Ys) and Colonel Thompson's name was in every one's id % His son attended, and read a letter which he had re f• tei ved from his father. After saying that, as the Hull Adver ,il4" bad stated, he could be of service to Hull, if the electors b ti kld see fit to support him, he would be ready to serve them, t Said, " I could not have a contest with Mr. Hill. Whether weans to stand or not, I have no knowledge ; but it is kter there could be no contest between us, and this point s ttst be previously settled. * • • If the people of Hull lid elect me, I would endeavour to organize a plan of cor cPeodence with my compatriots there, after the manner of ki ndrew Marvel's time, which, with their aid, I doubt not, j i lt. be made to tell to the public good. I would push the 1 0 - stion for opening the ports for free trade to the utmost, and p• ell that is practicable to resist and put down impressment. t * T e ttlY., I would desire to give up when called upon by a kiJority of the voters on my side, or to give up annually, or tng else of that kind the voters chose to agree upon." 411 , e reading of this letter was received with loud cheers, 4 : a resolution was immediately drawn , up, and unanimously lit e Pted,—" That Colonel Thompson's long standing in public bis known liberal principles, and the advantages which Heald result to the constituency from a townsman representing tr e el,., eminently entitle him to the suffrages of the Reformers null." Some discussion took place with reference to Mr. Yates, who, it was felt, had not so great a chance of success Colonel Thompson had. Mr. Sykes, it was understood, , o uld withdraw, as also would Mr. Langdale. The meeting 7,ks reinfo rce d b y severa l l ea di ng gent l emen o f what is called ',t!o Old Whi g party, consisting of Mr. La M arc h e, M r . J . C.

A C omm i ttee was organ i ze d, M r . L e ,rehe assenting, amidst rapturous cheers, to act as Chair- L 4 e—the names of the Chairmen of the Committees of Mr. jtitt and Mr. Hill (Mr. Newmarch and Mr. Blundell), on the Z . election, were first placed on the list—and then a resolution *.:" Passed with the most enthusiastic cheering, that all the L'elbers of the Committees of Messrs. Hutt and Hill on the last t k .. " 4.1 „i0n should be requested to form the general Committee te b ee part of Colonel Thompson. The complete union of th A tteforrners being thus established, and " Thompson " being t o - ,e 1 7 all over the town, Colonel Thompson's son was sent ki "c'eadon to fetch his father, and the meeting adjourned for m lit when district Committees were formed, and on the et Morning ( Saturday) at an early hour, a canvass was corn 'llitleed, and exceeded all ever known in Hull for success. e electors no longer coyley hesitated whether to promise p llt il et, but hundreds of them, as soon as the question was replied th e y would most cheerfully vote for a Thomp hit,' and so well known a member of the family as Perronet ti, l l ,,ead it i s f e lt that the Committee could carry the elec te, if necc'ssarv, without the presence here of the candidate , c°, ho wever , expected to arrive this day ( Su n day.)

There were in her hold some tid e n, which, as she went off the stocks, rolled on one 4 4 : and therefore tended, in connection with her masts, to th, . her to go over.

LITERATURE. LORD BROUGHAMSDISCOURSE ON NA- TURA L THEOLOGY. C. Knight, London, 1835. The object of this work is to prove the great truths of religion, by arguments drawn from the well-stored armoury of science, in direct opposition to that French system of philosophy, of which D'Alembert and Diderct were among the chief and most specious advocates ; and which tended to inculcate principles of scepticism, as the necessary consequence of an intimacy with those of science. The French sophists would hare had us believe that religion, however it may adapt itself to the feelings of the imaginative, or the half-instructed, can not stand the test of a minute and searching investi gation ; that the matter-of-factness of science is de- structive to it : but Lord Brougham, in the admirable dissertation before us, shows that, so far from this be ing the case, religion has no auxiliary so powerful as that of science, whose first, best, and most direct aim is to prove, first, the existence of a great first Cause, exerting an active and benevolent influence over the meanest as well as the mightiest, objects of his crea tion: and secondly, the immortality of the soul, which is a sort of necessary corollary or sequel of the first pro position. In the enforcement of these sublime truths, Lord Brougham displays an almost inexhaustible va riety of abstract,• as well as practical, knowledge ; and lays the basis of a sound theological sys tem, which no metaphysical sophistry will ever be able to shake. In the style and quality of his reasoning he is as concise, as simple, and as familiar, as it is possible to be, considering the abstruse nature of his inquiries. He does not encumber his argu ments with verbiage, or set them off—as Burke in his later Tracts was so apt to do--by the meretricious aids of simile and metaphor, which dazzle only to bewilder the understanding, but says all he has to say, in the fewest and the plainest terms. This is the great art of writing—to give simplicity to the abstruse, and clear ness to the complicated. Let no one be deterred from the perusal of Lord BROUGHAM'S Treatise, by an apprehension that it is perpetually referring to the mysteries of science with which he has no acquain tance, and which it is vain for him to think of unravelling ; he will find no more difficulties here, than he would find in the Natural Theology of Paley—an author whose chief merit is the perspicuity and con ciseness with which he treats a subject that in other hands would be full of the most tortuous ambiguities. It must be confessed, however, that his Lordship is apt occasionally to take for granted, that his readers possess more various and profound knowledge, than the majority of them, we fear, possess ; and is there fore at times a little obscure and puzzling in his ob servations ; but this occurs but seldom, the major portion of his Essay may be perused with advantage by all who have the ordinary average of understanding. The noble and gifted author is no advocate for the erection of a theological system on mere hypothesis. He will have good reason for the faith that is in him. Religion, in his view of the question, is not a mere matter of temperament or prejudice ; but one on which the understanding alone—all other propelling influ ences being sternly rejected—is to decide. And by proofs the most direct and undeniable, he shows us that all the arguments with which we are supplied by science, philosophy, and common sense, are in favor of a system of belief. If, therefore, his Lordship had done nothing more than overthrow, by a calm and deep-thoughted process of ratiocination, the specious sophistries of the French School of Philosophy, as paraded in every page of the boasted " Systems de la Nature," he would have conferred immense benefits on his age ; but he has done more ; he has settled the faith of thousands, who were before wavering in their belief, not so much from indifference, as from not having had the subject so fully and lucidly explained as it is in the pre sent instance. The book, we perceive, is dedicated to Lord Althorp, as one, to whom theological specula tions have always been matters of deep interest, and is marked by a gentle, kindly tone of feeling, in places, approaching to the pathetic. A few notes are added by way of supplement to the Discourse—by far the most important of which is that wherein Lord BROUGHAM attempts to refute HUME'S doctrine of Miracles. This is the weakest part of the work, and was almost superfluous, after CAMPBELL'S masterly exposure of the same fallacy. We subjoin an eloquent extract descriptive of the pleasures attendant on scientific investigation : " Thus, if it is pleasing to final that the properties of two curves so exceedingly unlike as the ellipse and the hyperbola closely resemble each other, or that appearances so dissimilar as the motion of the moon and the fall of an apple from the tree are different forms of the same fact, it affords a pleasure of the same kind to discover that the light of the glow-worm and the song of the nightingale are both provisions of nature for the same end of attracting the animal's mate, and continuing its kind—that the peculiar law of attraction pervading all matter, the magnitude of the heavenly bodies, the planes they move in, and the directions of their courses, are all so contrived as to make their mutual actions, and the count less disturbances thence arising, all secure a perpetual stability to the system which no other arrangement could attain. It is a highly pleasing contemplation of the self same kind with those of the other sciences to perceive everywhere design and adaptation—to discover uses even in things apparently the most accidental—to trace this so constantly, that where peradventure we cannot find the purpose of nature, we never for a moment suppose there was none, but only that we have hitherto failed in find ing it out—and to arrive at the intimate persuasion that all seeming disorder is harmony—all chance, design—and that nothing is made in vain ; nay, things which in our ignorance we have overlooked as unimportant, or even complained of as evils, fill us afterwards with contentment and delight, when we find that they are subservient to the most important and bene ficial uses. Thus inflammation and the generation of matter in a wound we find to be the effort which nature makes to produce new flesh, and effect the cure ; the opposite hinges of the valves in the veins and arteries are the means of ena bling the blood to circulate ; and so of innumerable other arrangements of the animal economy. So, too, there is the highest gratification derived from observing that there is a perfect unity, or, as it has been called, a personality, in the kind of the contrivances in which the universe abounds ; and truly this peculiarity of character, or of manner, as other wri ters have termed it, affords the same species of pleasure which we derive from contemplating general resemblances in the other sciences." THE DOOM OF GIALLO ; or the VISION OF JUDGMENT. Br JAMES BeADMIN, ESQ. In 3 Vols. London. Macrone. 183 b. In perusing these volumes we have discharged a duty, and in the consciousness of this consists the sum total of the pleasure which we have derived from them. We had expected a far different entertainment ; hence our disappointment is felt so much the more severely. We cannot approve of the subject of this tale, much less of the political under-current which runs through it. The characters are imperfectly drawn ; the connec tion of the principal personages with each other highly improbable ; and the main incidents are, taken altoge ther, a libel on the dreams of a heated imagination. The hero of the fiction, Giovanni Di Giallo, is a gross caricature of Dr. Moore's " Zelucco," with all the vices, but without any of that exquisite discernment of the secret workings of the human heart—or that admi rable knowledge of the world which distinguished his far-famed prototype. With two such models before him as Moore's " Zelucco," and Fielding's " Jonathan Wilde," we are surprised that the author should have wandered A wide of nature's landmarks in his charac ter of Di Giallo the younger. He is what no man, so educated, ever was under such circumstances :—wicked without an aim, cruel without an object, and hypocri tical without a necessity, or a power of con cealing his actions or intentions. The gross vul garity and licentiousness of Wilde is consistent with a want of principle—which is equally well sustained in Zelucco by a refined and exquisite selfishness ; but the innate love of evil in Di Giallo come not within the scope of human passion--it is dreaded at its birth, and finally ends in a catastrophe which could never have happened to such an individual. The thread of the story may be interesting : Count Di Giallo, the father of the hero of the tale, is a Neapolitan Nobleman, who marries a lady of equal rank with himself. As he is the last of a long line of noble ancestors, he is naturally desirous of an heir to inherit his titles and perpetuate his name. For some years he is disappointed in his hopes, and is in a state of mind nearly bordering on despair when he is visited by the presumed narrator of the tale, Count Hertzel, a German Nobleman in the prime of life, but bearing the traces of premature age, from having devoted his youth. to the study of Alchemy. The noble friends agree that the lady should make a pilgri mage, accompanied only by her confessor and servants, to a fructifying shrine of the Virgin ; and such is the efficacy of her prayers, or probably of a heated ima gination, acting on a delicate, susceptible frame, that conception follows, or rather dates from the clay of her visit to the sanctuary. We pass over Count Hertzel's relation of his improvements in the lady's oratory, to gether with the whole history of the picture and the gratitude of the astonished Countess. The author's object in writing such improbabilities is not quite clear to us—particularly as the lady is a saint, and a blue-stocking into the bargain. On re- , flection we are disposed to send Hertzell's vision of the Snake along with the history of the Picture, as only the commentator who discovers the hidden meaning of the one, can unveil the mysteries of the other. When -the fulness of time arrives, the hero is ushered into the world ; and from maternal infirmity is suckled in the paternal mansion by the wife of a pea sant. Here, again, we are obliged to pass over a phi losophical digression on the causes of vice in our nobi lity, which we recommend to the attention of the British Peerage. In the mean time our hero commences his career with a strong inclination for killing birds ; raises his hand against his Lady Mamma once, when he thinks he is unperceived by her ; over-physics, or rather half poisons his tutor ; feigns uncommon grief for the loss of his mother, who dies ere he has attained his majority ; accompanies his noble father to Madrid, and after secretly rivalling him in the affections of an opera-dancer, contrives to assassinate a third competitor for the lady's favour ; frequents the gaming table without any particular regard for the affected principles of a gambler in high life ; falls in love with his friend's betrothed bride, and to obtain her removes that friend— and, by accident, his own father at the same time—by poison ; and at last is suspected, discovered, elopes with the partner of his guilt, and drops over a preci pice. The Vision of the Old Woman of the Cliff will hardly be endured by any one who has read Mel moth's Vision in Maturin's Tale of the Wanderer. So much' for the main incidents of the fiction. The political under-current of which we complained is a more serious affair, because it has a tendency to im press its hue upon young and unreflecting minds. We shall content ourselves with a single extract : " It will easily be imagined that my German pride was in raptures at this flight of the Countess's charity. I had seen enough in England of that ungenerous spirit which envies every trifle bestowed by the Sovereign on ladies by birth, whose rank entitles and attaches them to a court, while their narrow incomes might depress them even to servile occupations. " In its rage for economy, the press pursues these unfor tunates with unmanly rancour. Their fallen fortunes excite no pity ; ' they prey, forsooth, on the public purse,' even should their ancestors have taken the lead as benefactors of the people. When the few of a higher class are thus per secuted by multitudes, they have no supporter but that feeble one, a wounded pride : they seem deserted by their eqnals, and overpowered by a confederacy of their whole species.' " It is high time to impress upon the people, that their in terests have not been neglected by the higher orders. Let them number over the public institutions for the poor, the diseased, and the deserted—unexampled in antiquity, and without a parallel in modern nations. Let them look at the subscribers by whom these were instituted, and are still sup ported. If the great and the wealthy be, as they are styled, but pensioners of the great mass of labour,' see what they give back to those who can labour no more, and are abandoned by their own classes to destitution and death." _ _ This is the first time we have the people charged with " envy" for denouncing as unjust a robbery of themselves for the maintenance of ladies in the splen dour necessary to an attendance upon the Court. What the press, and the people insist upon is, that one class of the community shall not be deprived of neces saries which they themselves have procured by the sweat of their brow, in order that the Honourable Misses may occupy a box at the Italian Opera, or fascinate noble danglers about the Court, by outshining Peeresses at the Queen's Drawing-rooms. As to the Royal bounty, we beg to say, that the press and the people are alike delighted, when it is employed in be half of really deserving objects. If, however, their Most Gracious Majesties are disposed to put every lady on the Pension List who cannot afford more than a silver chain for her lap-dog, and who has the honour to be allied to the Nobility, we are well content —pro vided the pensions be paid out of the allowance which the nation grants for the support of the Royal House hold. The author's allusion to alms-houses is most unhappy ; but we shall pass it over without comment. The public will not fail in its proper in- terpretation. We are of opinion that the time for such fictions as the Doom of Giallo is passed away. However in teresting the astrological fables of a dark age may be, it is the excess of folly to attempt a fancied revival of their existence in the present day—more especially as every dealer in the occult sciences is not gifted with the powers of the Author of St. Leon. In his criti cisms on the drama and the fine arts, Mr. Boaden ex- hibits a cultivated taste. The sta g e is his stronghold : he points an opera-glass admirably ; but he loses himself the moment he gets beyond the reflection of the stage-lights. G. J. HEATHCOTE, ESQ., M.P.—We feel it to be our duty to give a hint to the Reformers of South Lincoln shire, that if they wish their opinions to be represented, we are afraid they must prepare themselves to direct their eyes else where than to Stocken Hall. We throw out this hint with great sorrow, and nothing would give us more pleasure than to be called upon by Mr. Heathcote to retract it. He cannot as a Tory, more especially as a renegade, ever again sit for South Lincolnshire : will he assure his constituents that he is neither the one nor the other ?—Lincoln Gazette. CHURCH RATES.—A vestry was called, a third time, at Glastonbury, on the 4th inst., to obtain a rate of six pence in the pound, which, if granted, would amount to 290/. The public will learn how unpopular church rates are in the above town by the following statement. The majority against the rate at the first meeting was two, at the second seven, and at the last twenty-five. The resolution, which was supported by a majority of 25, was, " That this meeting be adjourned to the 4th day of June, 1836."—Sherborne Journal. CHURCH-RATES.--.-Archdeacon Goddard has been teaching his reverend brethren at Lincoln the law as to church rates, which, should Dissenters refuse to pay, they may be handed over to the tender mercies of a mandamus in the King's Bench, according to the Archdeacon, as well as a com mittal for contempt in the Ecclesiastical Courts, according to Mr. Childs. CHURCH RATEs.—At a meeting held a few days ago in the parish Church of Calverton, Notts, to consider the propriety of fixing a Church-rate, a motion for adjournment to that day twelvemonth was almost unanimously carried. " HORSE-SHOE RounisoN."—We are requested to state that this pew work, by J. P. Kennedy, Esq., author of " Swallow Barn," &c. will be published on Thursday next; June 18, by Mr. Bentley, New Burlington-street. Orders received by all booksellers throughout the United Kingdom. Agents for Scotland, Messrs. Bell and Bradfute, Edinburgh; for Ireland, Mr. John Cumming, Dublin. DEATH BY LIGHTNING.-011 Thursday last John Aubrey, son of Mr. Aubray, farmer, at Lantrythid, near Cowbridge, was killed by a flash of lightning. He had taken shelter under a tree near his father's house, and when foundhe was so disfigured that his father scarcely knew him. His clothes were torn off him, and some fragments of them were carried to a distance of fifty yards. The silver he had in his pocket was quite black. He was married about a twelve month ago, and has left an afflicted widow and infant to lament his unhappy fate.—Somersetshire Gazette. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN, SIR,-It is an excellent maxim, " Do JUSTICE TO ALL". In compliance with this rule, I am about to bear testimony as to the character and conduct of two Magistrates who have in curred the censure of a Committee of the House of Com mons, and the intense opposition of my political opinions to their's may render my evidence of some value. Messrs. Bignold and Booth s the parties alluded to, are generally allowed by us on the popular side to be among the most able and impartial of our Magistrates ; and I am fully persuaded their Tory opinions would never induce them to swerve one hail's breadth from the path of justice. Neither of these gentlemen bad the slightest leaning in favour of the prosecution—the second became one of the exa mining: Magistrates from the mere accident of having called, on business, upon the former, at the moment Mr. Bignold was proceeding to the examination. Both acted under the advice of the two legal officers of the Corporation—the Recorder and the Town Clerk. These gentlemen deemed that the authority of the ordinary Courts of Justice were not over-ridden by that of a Committee of the House of Commons, and that Magistrates were bound to terminate the investigation of a criminal charge, before they resigned the accused to the Committee. In this view of the case there is reason to believe that the very able Counsel for Messrs. Wagon and Morrison coin cided—since he applied to the Court of King's Bench, as the superior authority over the magistrates, to obtain the presence of the intended witness, instead of applying to the Committee of the House, WHICH IT IS NOW ASSUMED IS THE PARAMOUNT AUTHORITY. Whether any " breach of the privileges of the House" has been committed, appears then VERY doubtful—( and be it re membered that a committee does not inherit all the powers of the House at large)—but if any has, it will turn out, lam con vinced, to have been done through an error of judgment in the law officers of the Corporation. I am, Sir, yours, &c., A NORWICH RADICAL. P. S.—Look to the practical consequences of magistrates sending up to the House an accused peason, prior to examina tion into a criminal charge, to give evidence. Suppose the charge perjury—the accused goes up to the committee—de livers his evidence—is believed—his testimony acted upon by the House—and then he is brought back to the magistrates, and found to be utterly unworthy of belief 1 Here is a charming result 1 It is a case that might occur surely. I scarcely need add, that I do not advert to the present case, being fully con vinced of the truth of the evidence which has brought such awkward consequences on Messrs. V. and D. Sparrow and Co. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The second reading of the Municipal Corporation Reform Bill comes on this day. This is not the stage in which the Bill is in much danger. The Tories have abandoned all idea of open hostility to the mea sure, and will confine their exertions to mutilation of the more important provisions in the Committee. We were unable to notice the numerous articles of our Tory Contemporaries which appeared during the past week ; and it is now too late to revert to the subject, with any chance of doing justice to it. We cannot, however, allow the occasion to pass without noticing the remarks in the Standard of Wednesday last. The Tories and the Tory journals are naturally sore under the accusation, which they well know to be just, of having apostatized from their former opinions on the question of Corporation Reform. No Swiss ever displayed more readiness to abandon an unprofit able service, thin the Tories have displayed to quit the falling cause of their old adherents. The brazen effrontery with which—in spite of all their exertions to uphold the very worst abuses of Corporations, down to the latest period—they now suddenly turn round and affect to take a sincere and zealous interest in the establishment of the muni cipal rights of the people, almost exceeds belief. If we were to take the word of these pretended apostles of Reform, they have always been strongly opposed to abuses, and yield to none in attachment to the cause of the people. Forced by the policy of Sir Robert Peel to surrender at discretion the garrisons of the close Corporations—to admit that all self-elect Corpo rators ought to be disbanded, to be succeeded by pub lic trustees elected periodically by a municipal consti tuency—compelled to acknowledge the existence of the flagrant abuses of the present municipal system, our contemporaries are extremely hampered with the incumbrance of their late opinions. They would now fain destroy their own nests and betake themselves to ours. Nothing can be more amusing or edifying—no greater proof can be afforded of the ultimata omnipotence of public opinion—than the sight of the Tories thus awkwardly pressing through the turnstile of Corpo ration Reform. We may allow the- Standard to be a partial exception to this censure of the Tory party. Our inconsistent evening Contemporary is a curious compound of High Church, divine right, and democratical principles, and withal an acute and prac tised logician. Our Contemporary gravely assures us that he advised the Corporations to disobey the Royal Commission, on the assumption that the Corporators were free from guilt. " The members of Corpora tions," our Contemporary solemnly states, " with three or four honourable exceptions, despised our warn ing, and by submitting to an invasion of the rights of British subjects, from motives too plain to be misun derstood, abundantly confirmed all our former ill opinion. They betrayed their post, the maintaining of which post was the only possible service they could render to the eause of general liberty ; and were they less ripe than they are for correction, that single act of cowardice and treachery incurs a just forfeiture of public sympathy. But, in truth, this cowardice and treachery presented a confession of former de linquency, while they constituted a new substantive crime. Had the Corporations felt secure in their in tegrity, they would have set the Commission at defi ance ; but that they did not defy the Commission leaves but one inference." This is, to be sure, a most ingenious explanation of the former opinions of the Standard, but it serves, at the same time, to justify the appointment of the English Corporation Commis sion, because the excellent result of its inquiry has been to substantiate the fact, that, " with three or four honourable exceptions," the Corporators have beeu brought, by the instrumentality of the Commis sion, to the 'confession of their delinquency ; though though it is not for us, the advocates of the Ministerial Bill of Municipal Reform, to go so far as the Stan dard, on the lst inst., when our destructive contem porary " avowed " the radical opinion, " that the best Municipal Reform would be the sweeping atoay of Municipal Corporations altogether ! ' The sub mission of the Corporators to the legal authority of the Commission, and their contumacious repu diation of the advice of the . Standard to disobey the powers of the Commissioners, appear to have operated a strange revolution in the opinions of our Contemporary. We will, however, willingly now close this part of the discussion, since it is admitted on all hands, by the Standard and Sir Robert Peel, the% the rotten Corporations resemble old ships, no longer sea worthy, and only fit to be broken up and sold as old matcrials. One word more with respect to our Con temporary. We yesterday instanced the open vestry of Mary-le-bonne, and its successful working, as an example of just confidence in a local constituency of extended qualification. The Standard thanks us cor dially "for this, to us most happy instance, twice happy" as an illustration of retrenchment of expendi ture and improvement of local government ; and, then singularly asserts that Mary-le-bonne is an unfortunate selection as an example, because Mary-le-bonne, as a parish, is unparalleled in wealth, so that the classes possessed of property have, in reality, effected the im provement in its administration. If our Contemporary attributes the improvement in Mary-le-bonne to the Aristocracy, or to the highest class of householders, we utterly deny this. It is notorious that the old ves try exclusively packed by one class, the most wealthy, scandalously abused their trust, as far as regarded economy. The Tories are the daily propagators of an extraordinary fallacy—viz., that the Conservatives, as a party, possess nearly all the wealth of the com munity I Now, we have seen an analysis of the county, and city, and borough polls, which demonstrates the contrary. No one will be hardy enough to deny on which side the scale of property predominates in the constituency of Scotland. In England mid 'Wales the polls of the Conservatives display two opposite ranks of partisans—one consisting of individuals of the nzost wealthy class undoubtedly ; but the other, the majority, consisted of bribed and debauched free- men, kind intimidated dependents—to wit, Ipswich, Norwich, Bristol, Liverpool, Hull, York, and the small tenantry of the landlords in the counties. In the greater number of Tory returns in the large towns, the majority of ten-pound electors are voters in the Liberal interest. We defy our Contemporary to over turn this position. The fact is, that the Conserva tives do not possess the largest portion of the wealth of society. Assertion is one thing, proof another. We shall hereafter state, in support of our assertion, some remarkable facts, by which we hope to prove the statistics of Sir Robert Peel as loose as his politi cal opinions.—Morning Chronicle. Our attention has been lately called to one or two provisions in the Corporation Reform Biil, by which the interests of numerous innocent individuals will be most materially affected, without any attempt at com pensation being made. Now we are most fully aware that scarcely any extensive measure of reform or public improvement can be carried into effect without the in- fliction of some degree of injury to the rights of indi viduals, and without some sacrifice of private pri vileges. But it has always hitherto been a principle of our law that no private property should be touched without some pressing or urgent necessity on the part of the public being established, and that, in the event of such a case being made out, the fullest possible com plication of large portions of the national bounty of Great Britain, and its diversion in many recorded cases from the relief of hunger to the ends of fraudulent cupidity, that we deem the main or most enduring mischief ; but it is the officious interception of the Irish landlord or capitalist in the fulfilment of his own bounden duty of ministering to the distresses of his own. native poor. It is the hindrance to the creation of what had never before, and has never since, existed—a bond of union and a consciousness of reciprocal dependence between the Irish proprietor and the Irish pauper. It is the practical demonstration thus afforded, that the peasant in his extremity could not rely upon the more affluent inhabitants of his own island, but must look_ abroad for relief, and that the Irish gentry or mercan tile classes might rely upon the_willingness of another people to discharge the offices of charitable protection, which they themselves might therefore neglect with immediate impunity. It is that increased alienatism between the two great divisions of rich and pour in Ireland which has left the latter open to the sinister influence of every incendiary, whether in the garb of priest or lawyer, whose object is to make tools of the SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
