be was quite satisfied that the devastations which had been committed, arose from causes which did not originate with either of them. The Hon. Member here went into a detail of the plunder and devastations which had been committed by the Caffres, corresponding very closely to the account which has already appeared in the public papers. lie feared that those excellent and pious men who went out as mission aries to that colony would not be exempted from the injuries which had been inflicted upon the traders. It was with the utmost alarm that he contemplated their situation, whilst they, in common with the other inhabitants of that part of the colony, remained exposed to the fury of those marauders, awaiting the arrival of a vessel which had been sent by the Governor with troops for their assistance, but which, according to the last accounts, were detained by contrary winds. He would now briefly state what appeared to him to be the cause of all these evils, and what ought to be adopted as their remedy. It was well known to the [louse, that at the period when Lord Charles Somerset was governor of the Cape of Geed Hope, a sum of 60,0001. was voted for the encouragement of emigra tion. The consequence was, that next year a large body of persons went to the colony in question, where they suffered incredible hardships ; over which, however, they triumphed, and, in a few years, established themselves in comfort. When they landed, they had the advantage of the aid of a gallant officer, the Member for Berwick ( General Donkin ;) and it was impossible to speak too highly of the kindness which they had experienced from him,—kindness which could never be erased from their minds. During two years after their settlement, there had been no irruption into the colony, on the part of the Caffres ; but attacks had been made on the frontier, and cattle had been carried off. The outrage was represented to some of the Caffre eltief,—the offenders were taken, tried by their tribe, and steangled. At the end of two years, however, a considerable change took place in the conduct which had hitherto been pursued towards the Caffres. Instead of conciliation, the Boors returned to their old system, and constant quarrels were the consequence. A Boor was not allowed to follow any cattle stolen from him, at once, into the enemy's quarters; he was obliged to apply to the next military post, and to obtain the assistance of an officer and some of the mounted rifle corps. On arriving at the first kraal, if all trace of cattle ceased, the officer demanded double the number from that kraal ; and, on refusal, took them vi et arniis. What was the consequence of thus making the innocent suffer for the guilty ? Was it to be wondered at, that the former at length lost all patience, and took the law into their own hands? This result had been anticipated in a paper, an extract from which he would read to the House (the Honourable Member here read the extract in question.) It was well known that a Com mission had been appointed to go out to the colony and inves tigate the case. One part of the report of that Commission was a recommendation that a Lieutenant-Governor should be appointed to that part of the Colony, in order to avoid the ne cessity of a reference to Capetown, before any proceeding was taken. Subsequently, Captain Stocken was appointed to that post, but circumstances occurred which prevented his going thither. The colony had derived great benefit from a regi ment of mounted Hottentots, and he appealed to an Hon. Member present, whether they were not a most respectable body of men. British soldiers could be of no use unless they found something to fight with, but it was only those who, like the Hottentots, were acquainted with the country, who could, discover the enemy. What was wanted was a local Govern ment, and a proper local force. He had received numerous letters from the colony, all pressing the appointment of a lo cal Government, and an addition of five hundred to the local force. The Hon. Member concluded by moving an humble Address to his Majesty, praying that he would be graciously pleased to lay before the House a copy of any dispatches that might have been received from the Cape of Good Hope, rela tive to the late sanguinary irruption of the Caffres into the eastern part of that colony. Mr. F. BUXTON concurred in all that had fallen from the Hon. Member with respect to the late proceedings at Graham's-town and the neighbourhood, and expressed his hope that the course which had been pursued towards the na tives both in that and in other colonies would be subjected to the strictest investigation. He was convinced that the greatest abuses existed with reference to that subject. Several in stances had come to his knowledge, among which was a case in 1830, in which one of his commanders had swept the country in pursuit of cattle, and had shot no fewer than seven of the natives. It was impossible to expect that peace could be maintained, or that trade could flourish, under such a sys tem. Either substantial justice should be done towards the natives, or the settlement should be abandoned altogether. He certainly thought that it would be highly desirable to ap point a Deputy-Governor or some local magistrate, for the purpose of preserving amicable relations with the natives. Sir G. CLERK said that if the papers moved for by the Hon. Gentleman existed, of which fact he had not had an op portunity of obtaining information, he was not aware that any objection could exist to their production. He deeply regretted the unfortunate circumstance that had occurred, and he was persuaded that it would undergo the serious consideration of his Majesty's Government. Mr. BA G SHAW observed that he had ascertained that Government had not received any dispatches on the subject. The general impression, however, was that they had, and that not being published, the case was much worse than was gene rally believed. Sir G. CLERK represented to the Hon. Gentleman the expediency, as no such dispatches existed, of withdrawing his motion for their production. Mr. BAG SHAW consented, and withdrew his motion ac cordingly. Mr. SPRING RICE expressed his hope that his Hon. Friend, the Member of Weymouth, would repeat his motion of last year, and would add to it a motion for a copy of the circular which had been addressed by the late Government to the colonies, on the subject of the treatment of the natives. Mr. F. BUXTON gave notice that he would make such a motion on the 19th of May. NEWSPAPER, INDEMNITY BILL. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL brought in the News paper Indemnity Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a secend time to-morrow. COURT OF SESSION BILL. The LORD ADVOCATE brought in the Bill for re ducing the expenses of the Court of Session in Scotland.— Read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Wednesday. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT (SCOTLAND) BILL. The LORD ADVOCATE brou‘ght in a Bill to abolish, in certain cases, imprisonment for debt in Scotland.—Read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Wednesday. STAMPS ON NEWSPAPERS. Mr. BULLER, understanding that the order which had been made on his motion of the 26th of February had created some alarm among the proprietors of newspapers, begged to move that the said order be discharged. His object was, to prevent frudulent representations on the subject ; and he put it to the Hon. and Learned Gentlemen opposite, whether it might not be expedient to provide that the stamps on news papers should contain, not only the amount of duty (as at present), but the name of the particular paper ?—The order was then discharged. ELECTION PETITIONS. Petitions were presented, complaining of undue returns for Horsham, Halifax, Bandon Bridge, Leicester, county Cork, Monmouth, the city of Limerick, and other places, the names of which we were unable to hear.

In consequence of the great anxiety expressed by our Country Subscribers to obtain copies of the EXPRESS EDITIONS of THE SUN, we beg to state, that all those who reside in the vici nity of the great towns, or on the great lines of roads, will in future receive EXPRESS EDITIONS on all important occasions, and no others than sub scribers. It is, therefore, indispensable that those who wish to be supplied with the LATEST NEWS, should order their Papers with the least possible delay. If there be any obstacle in obtaining EXPRESS EDITIONS by subscribers, a line addressed to the Office will obviate the difficulty. Sun 0 ffice, Merck 9, 1835.

In the list of motions to be made in the }louse of Commons this day, we find one by Mr. POULTER, the Member for ghaftesbury, for leave to bring in a Bill for the better observance of the Sabbath. It is rather unfortura to that that perversity of human nature which inclin ef; men to neglect the performance of necessary acts, for the commission of others which are neither requisite , nor desirable, is no where more obvious than in the , prevailing conduct of our Parlia mentary Representatives. No body of men may respond with more sincerity 'that touching confession in the Morning Service ‘0.4: the Church, "We have done those things which ve ought not to have done, and we have left undone th.o.se things which we ought to have done ;" as in truth-. they are never so zealous as when they apply themsel vi2s to duties which do not appertain to them, to the uttt !tr neglect of those which the coun try calls upon t Item to perform. Heaven knows the House of Cormz ions has quite enough to do in the proper management of the temporal affairs of the na tion, without meddli'ang with those concerns which pro perly devolve on the spiritual guides of the community. Yet instead of applying itself to the reforming of our secular institutions ; the purification of our laws civil and criminal ; the prc ,viding instruction for the people by means of parocln2ial schools ; the improvement of waste lands at home and in our colonies ; the remov ing all obstacles in la le way of improving trade, com merce, and manufne tures ; and the revision of our whole system of ta: cation--instead of applying itself to these legitimate ( )bjects of labour and investigation, we find the House of Commons, Session after Ses sion, engaged in tl le discussion of, whether GOD Is more pleased that one man should bake dinners for a whole neighbourho o d, and leave all the rest at li berty to attend oh urch--or that each individual should stay at home and bake for him self, to remove this onus of compulsory absence from the door of the ?fay !s baker, who, nevertheless, must still remain at. harm to bake his own dinner. Our legislators, in truth, play us sad tricks. We send THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1835. them into Parliament to make laws, and amend others for the beneficial observance of men ; but instead of so doing, many of them think of nothing but how to signalize themselves as the defenders of donkeys—and the enemies of Satan in the baking and broiling de- partments. We have not seen a draft of Mr. PoULTER'S Sabbath Bill, but we have heard that it is as worthy of the genius of Sir ANDREW AGNEW as the full grown Pallas of the parturient brain of Jupiter. We have some suspicion that it is, in reality, one of the strangled productions of the sanctimonious Knight, which is about to undergo a post mortem examination—the Honourable Member for Shaftesbury being inwardly persuaded that it may yet be resuscitated by means of some well-timed Parlia mentary canting, re-echoed out of doors by the usual Cromwellian groanings in the spirit. We can make as large allowances for the influence of superstition on the human mind as the most charitable of our species ; but when we perceive a method in all this madness — when we observe that the yoke is only to be borne by the poor, while the rich are suffered to go free—we confess our charity is too scanty to gloss over these perversions of a sacred institute by the appellation of a mistaken piety. We know that among many Saints of this class— " 'Tis an orthodox opinion That grace is founded in dominion ; Great piety consists in pride; To rule is to be sanctified; To domineer and to controul, Both o'er the body and the soul, Is the most perfect discipline Of'Chureh rule, and by Right Divine." And to this orthodox doctrine we may perhaps attri' bute much .of their parliamentary zeal ; as nothing more clearly establishes dominion than the right to make, and the power to impose laws. But for all this the majority of them think that " hypocrisy as well ' Will serve t' improve a Church as seal ;" Nor do we scruple to accuse them of employing the one as frequently as they do the other in their attacks on the emissaries of the Powers of Darkness. We, of course, speak collectively, and only include those saints who, not content with entering at the narrow gate them selves, are always seeking to torment the bodies of their neighbours for the good of their souls. We trust that the good sense of the majority of the House of Commons, their knowledge of their proper duties, and their sympathy with the sufferings of the labouring population, will cause them to reject, with becoming dignity, the miserable attempts of those snivelling fanatics who would convert the Sabbath of the industrious into a day of moody misery and im prisoned wretchedness. Or if the Legislature deems it incumbent upon it to interfere for the protec tion of the Sabbath, let it begin with restraining the Sunday diversions of the rich, who have nothing else to do during the week than amuse themselves. Let law lay its restraining curb on the inhabitants of squares, of parks, and of palaces, instead of stooping to the miserable care-worn huddlers in lanes and alleys. The lollers in chariots, who rise at noon, and commence their day at midnight—who profit mankind only by their profusion, their extrava gance, their dissipation, and their vices—whose reli gion consists in attending Church as they do the Opera, to quiz the preacher, and ogle the congrega tion—whose charity extends to over-driven donkies and Hindoo Missionaries ; these are the proper objects of all Sabbath-protecting laws ; and not the poor half starved over-toiled labourer and mechanic, who know not what it is to enjoy an hour's continuous rest from Sabbath to Sabbath. Look, too, at the difference be tween the Sabbath-breaking of the Peasant and the Peer. The peasant strolls on foot, accompanied by his wife and children, to catch a sight of the blue sky and green fields, to breathe an unpolluted atmosphere, and to invigorate his frame for the labours of another week. Not so the hereditary legislator, and constitutional pillar of Church and King Government. If my Lord chooses to break the Sabbath, there must be a pair of horses and a train of domestics to accompany him. He scorns the vulgar iniquity of volunteering as an individual in the service of the Prince of Darkness. He lays claim to a commission, by placing himself at the head of a company whom he compels nolens volens to follow him in his Sabbath club-hunting career, or perhaps in the pursuit of more unlawful pleasures. Let those legis lators, whose zeal for the outward observances of religion prompts them to sanction enactments for its decorous appearance, compare the relative degrees of the guilt which attends peasant and peer breaches of the Lord's Day ; and we shall be satisfied with any measures which they shall recommend, if based on a principle of mutual restraint. If the village baker is to he exo nerated from the labour of roasting the barber's din ner, we shall have no objection, provided the great man's butler and cook are compelled to dispense with all culinary labours on the Sabbath under equally se , were penalties. If the barber is not permitted to ope rate on the chins of the wearied artisans, too poor perhaps to possess a case of razors, we shall be equally well satisfied, provided "my lord's gentleman" is restrained from dabbling in soap suds. If the omnibus, cab, and coach dri vers are prevented from removing the indus trious tradesmen out of the smoke and filth of Lon don—in which he has toiled from morning to night for the six preceding days—we shall not complain, on con dition that coaches and chariots for the accommodation of those who do nothing to benefit their race, be hin dered from appearing in the streets for a like period. But never shall we cease to expose the oppression of all laws, and the hypocrisy of their authors, if based on any other principle. We regard the Sabbath as a most sacred institute—an institute peculiarly and most mercifully intended to be a blessing to the poor, and in proportion to our admiration of the infinite goodness of Him who gave it, for a period of repose to the chil dren of oppression, just so much do we deprecate all human interference with its innocent enjoyment. We have enough of Divine oracles to consult, without being constrained to follow the Pythonic ravings of the Hon. Members for Shaftesbury and Wigtonshire.. A few petitions were presented in the House of Lords last night, but nothing of any public interest took place, and their Lordships adjourned at an early hour. In the House of Commons, Mr. ROEBUCK pre sented a petition from certain Members of the Legis lative Council and the House of Assembly of Lower Canada, complaining of grievances, on which the Hon. Gentleman commented at length, and with much ani mation ; which led to a discussion in which, among other speakers, Lord STANLEY and Mr. SPRING RICE took a share. Sir R. PEEL stated that Go vernment had appointed a Gentleman expressly to in vestigate the nature of the grievances alluded to, and when his report was made, he trusted Government would be able to bring forward measures which knight have the effect of conciliating the people of the Canadas. The Committee on the case of the hand-loom weavers was re-appointed, though Mr. BARING, the President of the Board of Tiede, stated that he did not think much benefit would be likely to result frcm it. In reply to some observations made by Mr. BAG SHAW, relative to the late Caffre disturbances at the Cape of Good Hope, Sir G. CLERK promised that Government would communicate all the information they possessed on the subject. The Printers' Penalties Bill was read a first time, on the motion of the SOLICITOR-GENERAL. Mr. BULLER withdrew his motion respecting the Newspaper Stamps Returns. We cannot congratulate Sir FRANCIS BURDETT on his waxing in wisdom as he waxes older. Experience, that should impart sagacity—age, that should teach a wholesome distrust—seem only to have rendered him vascillating and blindly confident. Having spent the meridian of his life in denouncing the Tories, he now, in his dim and hazy twilight, discovers that it is " factious" to vote against them—thereby implying that they are by no means the dangerous party that once, in the rashness of youth, he represented them to be. In another part of The Sun our readers will find some choice specimens of BURDETT-logic on this subject. " Although," says the Honourable Baronet, " I expressed a want of confidence in the Tory Ministry, I would not give a factious or party vote." Really this is the most ex traordinary interpretation of the word " faction " we ever yet heard of ! We had always been in the habit of imagining that " faction" consisted in oppo sing, for interested purposes, the best measures of a trust-worthy Government ; but we were wrong, it seems. To be " factious" is to oppose a Government notoriously inimical to the feelings of the people and their representatives. But Sir FRANCIS is evidently uneasy under, and dissatisfied with, his new definition, for he says, almost immediately afterwards, " I think I shall vote against the Tories." Think indeed I Surely it is high time the Hon. Baronet should have made. up his mind. His constituents did not return him to Parliament, in order that he should begin to think upon a subject, just at the very moment when the time for deciding on it was arrived. It is now nearly a month since his MAJESTY delivered his speech in Parliament ; during all that time the Tories have said little or nothing, by which we may gain an insight into what their future measures will be ; yet here, on ;he 10th of March, we have Sir FRANCIS BURDETT just beginning to "think" whether he shall " oppose" them or not. The reasons he assigns for this per plexity are quite as singular as his definition of the word " faction." " The times," be says, " are so critical, that one hardly knows what to do for the best." This is not the fashion in which a great states man argues. PITT, and CHATHAM, and CANNING, never talked in this manner. Critical times demand decision and action. Upon this principle they pro ceeded, and upon this principle Sir FRANCIS BuR DETT, unless he is prepared to forfeit his character for sagacity, must proceed also. We hope he will have finished his "reflections" by the time Mr. HUME brings for ward his motion respecting the Supplies. Brussels and German papers have been received. They contain no news of the slightest public importance. We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday, with intelligence from Bayonne and Bordeaux. Their con tents are too unimportant even for reference. The surprise occasioned by the sudden death of the Empe ror of AUSTRIA is already dissipated; the Ministerial union, to save appearances, is given up ; and the whole machine of Government works after the usual fashion, viz.—the KING and the Chambers pulling in opposite directions. The Ministerial arrangements are as far from completion as they appeared to be a fort- night since. It would be premature to offer any opinion on the changes in European policy that may result from the death of FRANCIS of Austria, and the accession of the present Sovereign, who is little known to the world, having hitherto lived retired from the intrigues of the Imperial Court. That he detests METTERNICH per sonally is not sufficient to justify an extension of his aversion to the principles of that statesman, and his retired mode of living might have been submitted to in compliance with the will of his august parent. There is no intelligence of any importance from the Spanish frontier. We have received Lisbon Papers to the 23d ult. A law has been introduced in the Chambers for the exclusion of all persons who opposed the QUEEN in the late civil war, specified therein, from continuing to hold those offices and dignities which belonged to them prior to the usurpation of DON MLGUEE. There ap pears no doubt whatever but that this law will ulti mately be carried into operation. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off yes terday--92 to 923 for the Account, and 913 3 for money ; Exche quer Bills, 36 37 ; India Bonds, 19 21. The Foreign Market is in the same state as that of the British, with similar quotations as when it left off yesterday. Spanish Scrip, 63 a prem. ; Spanish Stock, 60 to 603 ; Portuguese, 923 to 923 ; Dutch, 563 ; Colombian, 373 38. Our arrivals this morning are, a Lisbon mail by the Viper, sailed Feb. 23—at present we do not hear that she brings any news of importance—also French and Dutch mails, with one from Ostend. The Dutch prices are the same as last account-553, 23 per Cents. The express from Paris is of Sunday's date. No French prices ; but at Tortoni's the 3 per Cents., Rentes, were done at 79f. 75c. The French Ministry is not as yet formed. HALF-PAST ONE. Consols have been doing the whole of the morning at 91:43 for money, and 92 to A for the Account, with little doing. The prices in the Foreign Securities are—Spanish Scrip, 61 7; Spanish Bonds, 603 3 ; Portuguese, 923 3 ; Columbian, 373 83 ; Dutch 24 per Cents., 563 3. Since our 12 o'clock article was written, the news from Portugal have transpired. A change in the Ministry has taken place. It now consists only of six members—Palmella is Minister of Foreign Affairs. The accounts from Vienna, state that the present Emperor of Austria has given full powers to Prince Metternich to pursue the same political line as previous to the death of the late Emperor. Consols for the Account, 92k. THREE 0' CL 0 CK. CURLING AT LARGS.—On Sunday evening, at bed time, Fahrenheit's thermometer stood at 34 degrees, and, .during the night, Mr. Cairnie's pond was covered with ice ; and although the mercury was not observed at any time to be lower than 33 degrees, the pond furnished the finest ice, firm and frozen to the bottom before day light. The few curlers that played, had fine sport upon the slippery arena till near one o'clock, when the thin coating yielded to the heat of the sun. Four Largs curlers will play any other four players from whatever quarter, by receiving one day's previous notice—and if there be frost, they can be certain of fine sport. Four well contested games of 13 were played on Monday, and as the weather has been frosty, we doubt not but many a game has been played since.—Scots Times. CHELSEA.—On Monday morning, about six o'clock, the body of a man was taken out of the river at Mr. Batcock's wharf, in a most dreadful state of decompo sition, so much so that he could not be conveyed to the workhouse without a shell. One shilling and a thimble was found in his pocket, and it is presumed he was an inhabi tant of Richmond, an advertisement having appeared des cribing such a person as lost. CORONER'S INQUEST.—SHOCKING MURDER.-- A verdict of Wilful Murder was returned against John Orrell, for the murder of his two children. The particulars of this case, we gave in part yesterday. SIR FRANCIS BURDETT AND HIS CONSTITUENTS. (From aCorrespondent.) A few days ago, and before any deputation had waited on Sir Francis Burdett to complain of his Parliamentary conduct, Mr. Devear was called on by Mr. Fonblanque and Mr. Perry to know if he would take the task upon himself of convening a public meet ing for the purpose of preparing a requisition, calling on Sir Fran cis Burdett to resign, on the ground.of the dissatisfaction his con duct had given his constituency. Mr. Devear expressed his personal opinion that Sir Francis Burdett, although appearances might be a g ainst him, would be found unchanged, and offered to wait on Sir Francis Burdett and represent to him the fears some of his constituency had as to his intentions, and to report the result. Mr. Devear added, that should he unhappily find himself deceived, still under all the circumstances in which he stood, he should de cline having anything to do with the proposed meeting, but would retire altogether from Westminster polities, in the belief that little or no confidence could be placed in the professions of public men. Mr. Devear accordingly sought and obtained an interview with the Baronet. The following is the substance of what passed, ac cording to a note made by Mr. Devear shortly after, and while all the circumstances were fresh and clear in his memory : Mr. DEVEAR opened the business, by informing Sir Francis that the Westminster people were alarmed at his not having voted for the amendment to the Address, as well as his absenting himself from the division on the Speakership. Sir F. BUILDETT—I do not approve of the manner in which the Opposition are trying their strength. It is not a manly straight forward mode of proceeding. They are attacking the leg, and not the head. Ido not approve of doing anything, or seeking to gain a point, by a side wind. The manly and proper way would be, to try their strength on a question involving some public principle. The amendment to the Address was puerile, and contained nothing. Why, if they wished to strike a blow, did they not bring forward some bold proposition ? The amendment was even worse than the opposition to Sir Charles Sutton. Mr. DEVEAR—Your constituents assert you are going to sup port the Tories, nor will my assurances to the contrary pacify them. Sir F. BURDETT—Do they? Well, let them wait till a question involving some public principle comes before the house, and they shall then see that I can both speak and vote. Take, for instance, the Irish church, or some such question of real importance. Mr. DEVEAR—I wish you would state as much in writing, as it would put an end to the ill feeling engendering among your con stituency. Sir FRANCIS—No, there can be no necessity for my so doing, for plenty of opportunities will soon occur, when they will learn that my sentiments continue unchanged. Mr. DEVEAR mentioned that Mr. Perry had called upon him on the subject of getting up a public meeting to request Sir Francis to resign. Sir Fa/slam—lf they did, I should not resign. If my opinions were altered, I should tell the electors so. I will not deceive them. There are really so many parties, or, I may say, sections of parties, among the Opposition, that they actually strengthen the Tories by their speeches and conduct. Mr. DEVEAR—If a meeting should be called, I will attend and explain what you now state; but it was the impression of Mr. Pouncey, Mr. Harrison, and myself, previous to the last election, that you would oppose the Tories. Sir Faasscrs—What I said was, that I would accept of good measures from any party of men, and although I expressed a want of confidence in the Tory Ministry, I would not give a factious or party vote on the occasion. I think I shall vote against the Tories, although 1 hardly like to say so, from the manner in which the question is put to me. Mr. DEVEAR — It places me in an unpleasant situation with the electors, as papers, I understand, are handing about for signatures, calling on you to resign. Sir FRANCIS. —Well, they can do so; it will not - be a few names that will comprise a majority of the Westminster electors. The times are so critical, that one does hardly know what to do for the best. I wish to keep aloof from all parties. I will do my duty, depend upon it. The electors have net the least reason to fear me. They will soon have reason enough to satsify themselves. After some farther conversation, the Baronet alluded to the de putation that called on him on the 'morning of the election of Speaker, and asked Mr. Devear if he know what had become of his written answer to them? They had thought fit to publish a ver sion of the interview, but no letter was annexed. Mr. DEVEAR said he knew nothing of the parties that formed the deputation, and when he received the letter in question from Sir Francis, with a request that he would forward it to the deputation, he sent it to Mr. A'Beckett, through whom he understood it reached the parties it was intended for. The following is a copy of the letter alluded to : " Gentlemen—Having taken time to weigh well and consider the conduct which, under the peculiar circumstances.l am placed in, I ought to pursue, respecting the party contests in the House of Commons this evening for the Speaker's chair, I have come to the conclusion that after the very strong feeling expressed by the deputation from the several parishes of Westminster, I am justified so far in sacrificing my own feelings and wishes to those of my con stituents to whom I am so much indebted, as to abstain on this oc casion from voting at all. " I send this in haste, in order to relieve your minds from the doubt and anxiety you were under on leaving me this morning. " FRANCIS BURDETT." In the course of the interview, the various caricatures of the day were alluded to, and Sir Francis Burdett showed that he still re tained that equanimity of temper for which through life he had been distinguished, and did not enjoy a good-tempered joke the less because he happened to be wholly, or in part, its subject. The new supporters of the Royal Arms by " H. 8.," afforded him a hearty laugh. SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.)

DERBY. The Leopoldine colt continues to improve, and there can be no doubt, that if he stood in a crack public stable, the money laid out would by this time have made him first favourite ; Silenus was also in demand, and the advance of these two seemed to have a prejudi cial effect upon the other horses in the betting, none of which were in the same degree of favour as when we last quoted the odds.
