Zile darin g i mpudence of the Times has DUBLIN furnished the sub eir, lat e Yelpers of the Tory press n-Ph a lie, admirably adapt captin vulqi in England. It has been asserted by a ot ter in that papCr,' and repeated by twenty others, that Mr. ‘Stat!nnell brought sixty votes from Ireland against Manners 4 . e 'it, and that Mr. Abereromby is, consequently, the norm elee(t)f the Agitator. This is as true as it would be, had the 3 the been. decided the other way, that . Sir Charles Sutton t h at e nomine e of Lord Stanley and his followers, because candiedeac,eattie Reformer thought proper to vote for the Tory nearly on Mr. O'Connell and the Noble Lord are prett3l teitY.°4 a par, in the numerical strength of their , persona , i nft in the present Parliament. It is known that 0 Connell s th uene e in Parliament is considerably diminished. Beyond b e e rs m so bers of his own family, there are not six Irish l 4.Meni liatnen acknowledge him as their leader. In the as. Par been h nt i., ll° ad many more, all the pledged Repealers having te n& '' ominees. But nothing ean be more indisputably bete'n, than the independence of the great body of Irish Li trMenibers now serving in Parliament. They are a far 4 13 t ie ler order of men to the persons whom they displaced, inlPthe sixty, who voted for Mr. Abercrnmby, forty at least elaced, by' their character, above the suspiFion, even to litra ° Pinion of an honourable adversary, of giving a vote indi tr rY to their own conviction, on a question of the merest Pot e ere nee, at the suggestion of Mr. O'Connell. To sap oc that such men aS Musgrave, O'Ferrall, the Bellcws, R . °ll° °r Don, Lord Acheson, Perrin, O'Loughlin, Wyse, Timmswere influenced by Mr. O'Connell'.s judgment on subject, would be preposterous. To assert it, as the it tida " ei its respectable copyists have done, is to commit an lihad o °l 's and fla.rant breach of truth, which has not even the ' f il tril e ri f fa l l i s k e e i l l i o h o o: l o . d to redeem the slanderers from the charge libi:at f j'ends of the Ministers are making a great pother . of th '4le sincerity of their intentions, and call for a fair trial iii kttet e . 11.1easures which they will bring forward.

Sin,—The citizens of Norwich are desirous that Lord Stormont should he set right with regard to the constituency of this city, and that the members of the House of Commons should be informed of the incorrectness of his Lordship's obser vations, made on Wednesday evening last. It was stated by his Lordship that " there were 4,500 freemen, who voted for Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, &e." Now, Sir, so far from there being 4,500, there arc only 2,500 freemen : of these 500 are paupers, and of the remainder about one-half only are rated inhabitants. These 2,500 (including the paupers, who vote at all the municipal elections), have the exe!usive privilege of voting for Mayor, Aldermen, - Sheriffs, &c. ; and at all contested elections, 1,600 at least out of these 2,500 worthies, receive money for their votes. This, Sir, is the respectable constituency Lord Stormont is so anxious to uphold ?—Yours, obediently, Norwich, March 2, 1835. A CITIZEN. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Her Majesty having publicly signified her intention of last night honouring this theatre by her presence, the various en trances were besieged at an early hour ; and shortly after their opening the house was crowded in every pail, but more parti cularly in thoSe parts where the best view of her Majesty's person could be obtained. At seven o'clock precisely the Queen, accompanied by Prince George of Cambridge, Lady Clinton, Miss Hope Johnstone, and Lord Denbigh, entered her Majesty's private box. No sooner was their presence per ceived than the audience testified their joy by the most vehe ment applause, which her Majesty instantly acknowledged by presenting herself at the front cf the Royal box, and curtsying in the most affable manner to every part of the theatre. The audience rose simultaneously with the curtain, which disco vered on the stage the assembled corps dramatique, including such of the principal vocalists as could be spared from the new opera at the other house. The national anthem, led by Miss Curse, Mrs. Fitz william, and Templeton, was then sung. The performances of the evening were the interesting drama of Kenilworth and the spectacle of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. In the former Miss Ellen Tree, for the first time, and with powerful effect, sustained the part of the lovely but unfortunate Amy Robsar ; in other respects the cast of neither piece presented any novelty which requires remark. Her Majesty, who was simply attired in a blue silk dress, with black velvet hat and plume of white ostrich feathers, appeared to be in remarkably good health ; and, on rising to withdraw, again presented herself at the front of the box to acknowledge, in a similar manner, the renewal of those unani mous demonstrations of public approbation with which her Ma jesty's entree was greeted. ADELPHI THEATRE. A serio-comic burletta in three acts, intitled Robert Ma caire, was last night produced at this theatre. It is in part taken from Auberge des Adrets, which, being now per formed in London, should be familiar to all London, or all London has neglected an opportunity of being familiar with one of the most extraordinary and finest pieces of acting that has ever been known to its Thespian boards. Robert Macaire is a cold-blooded murderer—a fearless robber, an all-accom plished thief. In addition he has a taste, heightened into extravagance by animal spirit, for all the graces—he can touch the violin with the air of a dancing master, sing with operatic gusto, and waltz with infinite expression : a practical wit per vades all he does, and combines even with his crimes ; when he dies his last joke immediately precedes his last gasp. The substance of the French piece is compressed into the first act of the Adelphi serio-comic bnrletta, excepting the death of Ma caire. Let no person anticipate the nice and difficult act of comparing Yates with Lemaitre in Macaire. There is no competition between the two performers. Yates takes but the general idea from the French actor, and then fills up all the details of the part according to his own humour. When an actor OE the French stage first personates a character, and does so in a very striking and effectual manner, he is said creer, to create the part. Thus Lemaitre created the French Ma caire. Yates also creates our English version, for he sets his own broad seal upon it. Buckstone appears in Gribby, the feeble knave, and Reeve in the Baron Von Wobblebury. The three, as usual, make the piece, what they mean it to be, a farce—as full of practical jokes as a pantomime, and as suc cessful in creating laughter FRENCH PAPERS. of Sir Robert Barlow (a retired Admiral), t‘ho sur‘ive,. him. His Lordship is succeeded in his title and eita!es by the so I of :his nephew, the late Captain Sir William Bolton, of the Royal Navy (if any soil survive), if not, they will devolve on Thomas Bolton, Esq.,the brother of Sir William. The Earl was in his 78th year, having survived his brother the immor tal naval hero, nearly 30 years. PARIS, FEB. 28.—The Armoriclin (a Brest journal) pull fishes the following article n its number of the 24th : " Several applications for letters of marque have been sent from our department to the Ministry. The Minister of Ma rine has replied to one of these applications, tint in the un certainty which prevails respeLting the issue of the difference with America, he could not at present positively acted -,: to this application, but that he would take due notice of it, promising to pay attention to it if occasion should arise." A rise of one franc in two days in our funds was not easy to be accounted for from the present state of political affairs. We have received a more rational explanation of the fact. The Caisse des Dtpdts et Consignations has about 15 mil lions placed in the Treasury in Royal Bonds, but the Treasury is overflowing with money; it has given notice, that the money will be repaid when the Bonds become due, and has advised the Caisse to endeavour to employ its funds in some other way. Now, no better way has been found than purchases of stock, and they have commenced within these two days at the rate of 300,000 francs each day. The Itioniteur this morning announces the 'result of the vote of the, House of Commons on the Amendment to the Address. Considerable preparations are making at Kt mington Pabico for the grand entertainment to be given this 4eek by the Duchess of Kent ; cards of invitation have been sent to a great number of the nobility and gentry, incluJin,g many of those of all parties. The Archbishop of Canterbury has been - prevented from taking the oaths and his scat in parliament by a domestic affliction—the demise of his daughter, Lady Beaumont, wife of •Sir G‘eorge Howland Beaumont, Bart., to whom her Ladyship was united in 1825, and by whom she left an infant family. Lady Beamount died at llyeres, in the South of France, where she was staying for the improvement of her health. Not long since the Primate had the affliction to lose his only son, a promising youth, at the University. — The votes of Mr. Bish, the Hon. Member for Leo minster, on the late divisions, have given great satisfaction to his constituents, especially as they know his severe indisposi tion, and the personal risk he has run in goinz to the Hons..- A telegraphic dispatch announces that General Sebastiani had arrived at Calais on Saturday at two o'clock, and was pre paring to set out for Paris.—Journal des Debuts. It appears that it is General Sebastiani who is to re-model the Cabinet, in which it is resolved to keep Messrs. 'Tiers, Guizot, Persil, &c., and as these gentlemen have declared officially that thy would not remain with Marshal Soult, who it is said has shown himself inclined to make a similar decla ration with respect to ;hose who so adroitly put him out of the Ministry eight months ago, our new Ambassador at London has been recalled.—lmpartial. By a decision of the 28th of February Rear-Admiral Da potel is appointed Commander-in-Chief of the squadron on the Brazil and South American station. He will hoist his flag on board the Syrene frigate.—lllessager, March 1. A requisition is preparing to the High Bailiff of Westminster to call a meeting of the electors, for the pur pose of their agreeing to a resolution calling upon Sir Francis Burdett to resign his seat, having declined voting against Sir Mariners Sutton, and for not having voted for the amendment proposed by Lord Morpeth to the address to the King. Tli E 131S1-10P OF NORWICII.—We regret to learn that the health of this venerable Prelate has so much declined of late, as to occasion serious apprehension in the minds of his relatives and numerous friends for the approach of that mourn ful event which, considering the advanced age of the Bishop, who is now in his 91st year, cannot, in the course of Nature, be far distant.—Cheltenham Journal. TILE USE OF a DEAD \\TUE.—A German jour nal contains the following paragraph :—The wife of a labour ing man, in the neighbourhood of Stockholm, died some time ago, and the husband made the necessary arrangement for the interment. He, however, deposited a block of wood in the coffin, instead of the corpse, which he conveyed, during the night, into a forest, that it might serve as a bait for wild beasts. By this expedient he succeeded in catching a wolf and two foxes. Oa the circumstance being made known, the man was arrested and carried before a court of justice; but far from being intimidated, he claimed the reward offered for destroying mischievous animals. The Bon Sens publishes the following remarks of Louis XVIII. in describing .Louis, Philippe :—" He has con trived (said the old King) to know a little of every thing, and fancies himself a man of universal knowledge. He has a cook, and I am sure that he shows him how to make an omelette ; he teaches his gardener how to use his spade ; and I am convinced that he has often written rent receipts with his own hands.

At bottom, however, he believes that he knows more of architecture than Fontaine, and he is certainly better acquainted with the price of lime and mortar than his master mason." A surgeon in general practice, a clergyman of the Church of England, and the master of a workhouse, all of a village, the name of which we at present suppress, have, we are informed, been summoned to appear before the Magistrates at a neighbouring town on Wednesday next, the 4th instant, on a charge of forcibly seizing an inmate of the village poor house and cutting him for the stone, against his urgent entreaties and reiterated remonstrances.

The Sherborne Journal states that public rejoicings have taken place at Poole, Lyme Regis, and other places in Dorsetshire, and at Yeovil and Chard, in Somersetshire, in consequence of the triumph of Mr. Abercromby over Sir C M.

The plan of erecting a bridge between Weymouth and the Isle of Portland having been pronounced practicable, the work will be commenced as soon as the sanction of Parlia ment for the purpose has been obtained. MOVEMENTS OP THE HOUSEHOLD TROOPS.— To-day the Ist Battalion of the Ist Regiment of Grenadier Guards, under the command of Colonel Wvnyard, marched front Portman-street Barracks to Knightsbridge Barracks. 'The 2d Battalion of the same Regiment, under the command of Colonel D'Oyley, from St. George's Barracks, Charing_ cross, to Windsor; The I s t B a ttalion of the Coldstream Guards, under the command of Sir William Gomme, marched from the Tower to St. George's Barracks.

The Ist Battalion of the Scots Fusileer Guards, under the command of Colonel Bowater, marched from Brighton and Windsor to the 'Wellington Bar racks ; and the 2d Battalion of the same Regiment from Knightsbridge to the Tower. The 3d Battalion of the Grena dier Guards remain in Dublin. CHEAP LITERATURE.--The public cannot fail, we think, to be delighted with the treat which is just prepared for them by Mr. Colburn, in his " Modern Novelists." the March number of which contains the new revised and illus trated edition of Lady Margan's first and best National Tale, " O'Donnell," the three volumes being now comprised in one, and bound, for only ss.—an example of cheapness hitherto unparalleled. On the 2d March also appeared, the third part of the new and cheaper edition of Sir Jonah Barrington's " Memoirs of Ireland and the Union," to be competed in six parts, at only Bs. each, and containing all the forty portraits, and other embellishments of the original expensive edition. This important work may now, therefore, stand a good chance of being found in every private and public library throughout the kingdom. The Rev. Edward Irving acted in Ryder s company, in Kirkaldy, a few miles from Edinburgh , about twenty-four ' years ago, and was then passionate l y d e v oted to the stage.

BIRTH EXTRAORDINARY.-0 11 Tuesday even ing, as the eight o'clock train was on its way to the Rock from Dublin, a woman who was a passenger in the third class carriage, was delivered of a child, and both are doing well. THE STO It M.-We fear (says the Liverpool Times of Tuesday) that much damage has been done, and - loss of life at sea, occasioned by the dreadful storm of Sunday night and yesterday. Even in the docks several of the vessels have been violently beaten about, and some of them hare sus tained injury in their rigging and timbers. On land we have not heard of any serious damage, though from the fury of the storm it is only too probable that some mischief may have been done. Among the ravages of the tempest on Thursday night, the 19th inst., was the demolition of a theatrical pa vilion which - had been erected by a Mr. Hill from Hunting don, in the Peacock Inn-yard at Sibsey. Richard 111. bad been announced far performance, a " star" of some magnitude was to have played the tyrant, a musical band fr: . )in Boston had been specially engaged, and the " lovers of the drama" in Sibsey were anticipating a high treat, when the hurricane, as if in derision of the mimic scene, blew down the pavilion, and nearly dashed it to atoms. Happily this was the extent of the injury, neither the audience nor the performers having assembled. FIRE IN BROAD -STREET, GOLDEN-SQUARE.-- About half-past 12 o'clock last night a fire broke out on the premises belonging to Mr. More, the hatter and army ac coutrement-maker, situated at the back of Marshall -street, and occupying the angle formed by Marshall-street, Silver -street, and Broad-street, Golden-square. The fire at one time raged with tremendous fury, and from the wind blowing in the direc tion of the timber-yard of Messrs. Paul and Hutton, which is in the immediate neighbourhood, great apprehensions existed of a more extensive and calamitous conflagration. Fortu nately, by the speedy arrival of the fire-engtnes and the good supply of water, the progress of the flames was arrested before it could communicate with the timber-yard. The effects of the fire were, however, sufficiently powerful to cause a great destruction of property. It was said that, in addition to the total destruction of the manufactory above-mentioned, the ma nufactory of a cabinet-maker next adjoining was consumed, and the backs of five or six houses in Silver-street were on fire. The engines, by two o'clock, had so reduced the flames, that all apprehensions for the neighbourhood were removed, and the dense mob by which the streets had been crowded be gan to disperse. Fortunately, no lives were lost, and no se rious accident occurred. A WINTER IN THE FAR WEST.—The volumes whirl, are about to appear under this title, consist of a Narra tive of Travels, if indeed they may not rather be called Explo rations, in the Remotest Western States of America. In per using the account of this remarkable enterprise, a new world is laid open to the curiosity of the reader. The author tra versed countries where every variety of scenery was displayed on the grandest scale. lie crossed the wild sources of the Ohio, a thousand miles above its junction with the Mississippi; coasted its romantic shores ; wandered through the primeval solitudes of the interminable forests ; surveyed the open glades and smiling lakes of Michigan ; galloped over the grassy sa vannas of Indiana ; hunted on the boundless prairies of .Il linois; saw the savage hills and plashy rice-pools of pnicon son ; forded the wild Washtenong of the northern peninsula, and skirted the frozen beach of its western boundary ; stood upon the hoary bluffs of the Missisippi ; beheld that over whelming mass of waters rising in regions of perpetual snows, loitered among the meadowy banks of the Illinois, the savage cliffs of the Kentucky, the pastoral valleys of Tennesvee, and the romantic glens of Western Virginia. To the description of these wonderful scenes, the writer adds characteristic sketches of the wild Indians, and the equally wild backwoods man of the West, intermixed with tales of their fearful border feuds. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 1835. GERMAN TAPERS. ZURICH, FEB. 21.—M. Von Dusch, Minister of the Grand Duke of Baden to the Swiss Confederation, has addressed a letter dated Carlsruhe, the 16th inst., to the Governments of the other Cantons bordering on the Grand Duchy, in which he gives notice of certain indications, which they have shown that associations of rman artisans have lately been again formed in the territory of Switzerland, depots of arms made, and plots contrived by which the tranquillity of the neighbour ing States is threatened ; he calls attention to the embarrass ments and the consequences that would ensue if expeditions like that to Savoy should again be made by Switzerland against the neighbouring States. The Council of Police, which, in deed, considers the apprehension expressed on the part of Baden, as going too far, but has, however, observed of late an extraordinary activity among the class of persons pointed out, has been directed by the Council of Government to propose what measure it may be advisable to take in consequence of this communication.—New Zurich Gazette. Some German fugitives, whose names are not known to us, have formed an association at Winterthur. The . Baden Mi nister has already given notice to Zurich that there are indica tions that the security of the neighbouring States is threatened by German fugitives and artisans. Do not those unhappy simpletons see that they may do immediate injury to themselves and their wiser countrymen who take no part in such follies ? —Swiss Republican. CASSEL, FEe. 19—Yesterday evening a mob collected with a view of assaulting the house of Mr. Lary, pastor of the community of the Moravian!, where the adherents anddisciples of a sect which has been increasing for some years past, and is distinguished by the name of the " Pietists," are used to hold their prayer meetings and conventicler. On Saturday a numerous meeting that was to have taken place in Mr. Lary's house, was prevented by the people who assembled in great numbers about the doors ; and yesterday a more serious attempt was to be made. As it had been talked of the whole day in the public houses that an attack was to be made in the evening on the Pietists, the police were sufficiently prepared. The crowd, consisting of populace and idle boys, was much in creased about nine o'clock by the great number of spectators attracted from all quarters by curiosity, when all at once a loud huzza, mixed with hissing and whistling arose, with loud cries of " Out with the mystics I Hang them up." 'I he windows of the house were at the same time assailed with a shower of stones. The police cleared the street in which the house of Mr. Lary is situated, and occupied the avenues, but the crowd in the market place did not disperse, and seemed to have some sinister intentions. More energetic measures of precaution were therefore judged necessary. General Rodiker, the commandant of the city ordered the drums to beat to arms, and at half-past nine the whole city was alarmed by the beating of :he drum and the sound of the bugles. The theatre was soon deserted, as all the military left it to repair to their posts; the Electoral Prince Regent returned to his palace, and the greater part of the audience came out partly through curiosity and partly through fear. In less than a quarter of an hour all the troops of the garrison, infantry, and cavalry, were at the general rendezvous in the Frederick Square, in front of the palace. The artil lery stood by their guns, with lighted matches. The Prince, with the general staff, .was with the troops. The latter, how ever, returned to their barracks about 11 o'clock, the civic guard having been sufficient to disperse the crowd, and strong detachments patroled the streets to maintain tranquillity. This tumult was wholly independent of politics; it arose from the long-cherished animosity of the majority of the inhabitants towards a religious association, which is accused, perhaps un justly, with entertaining secret plans for preventing the diffu sion of knowledge, and is believed to be protected by powerful and influential persons.—Allgemeine Zeitung, Feb. 25. Sir Francis Burdett, by presenting himself at the table of the House to be sworn after the hour for that ceremony had expired, has acquired by anticipation the designation of " the late Member for Westminster." Lord Fitzwilliam is fast rezovering from his acci dent, since which he has not had a single unfavourable symp tom. There is no longer any ground for apprehending at ger, although it may be some time before his Lordship can have the use of his foot again. By the death of the Earl of Scarborough a prebend in the York Cathedral has become vacant. He gave a princely donation of 10,000/. to that Cathedral for the organ. By the death of Mr. Sergeant Praed (the father of the Member for Yarmouth), a pension of 1,0001. a year, which he enjoyed as the retired Chairman of the Audit Office, has fallen in. The Hon.

He is perfectly recovered, without sustaining any marks from the pustules.—lrish Paper. Mrs. Somerville and Miss Caroline Herschel have been elected honorary members of the Royal Astronomical Society. NEW CLUB.—The new club projected by Mr. Ten nyson, M. P., in George-street, near the Houses of Parlia ment, has received an accession of members since last year, and is particularly convenient for the members of both Houses. Lord Durham suffers much from a violent pain in the head, which has prevented him from attending his Parlia mentary duties, though at present in London. His Lordship is co-operating freely with the Whigs and other Reformers, and seems by no means inclined to press inconveniently his views in favour of the extension of the suffrage to all rate payers—triennial Parliaments (not to terminate earlier than at the expiration of three years, except under special circum stances)—and vote by ballot.—Leeds Mercury. The medical students of King's College, rather tired of the psalmody of some few charity boys that attended the College chapel, laudably took on themselves to reform this altogether, by themselves attending to the organ, and singing the Psalms to something like music; and their efforts have succeeded so well, as to delight the Principal and others of the College, the congregation, & e., and to draw forth the eulogium of the Bishop of London, who has sent word that he will attend the service, in order to be gratified with the tasteful and exemplary efforts of those young gentlemen who had the courage and good sense to introduce . such an amendment. _ _ _ MADAME MALIBRAN.— A suit of nullity of marriage has been instituted by this celebrated vocalist against her husband, and came on to be heard a few days ago before the proper tribunal in Paris. The grounds upon which the contract is said to be void is, that the marriage was celebrated before the French Consul, though neither of the parties were French citizens, M. Malibran, - though a Frenchman born, having become naturalised of America, had thereby divested himself of his first rights, and Madame being the daughter of a Spanish father. The marriage took place in presence of the French Consul, who thought himself qualified to act as a civil officer, even towards two foreigners. The cause, after occupying two days, has been adjourned for judgment. ST. DAVID'S DAY.—Yesterday St. David's Day was celebrated in the metropolis, and the Welsh Charity com pleted its 121st anniversary. The patrons of the Charity dined as usual at the Freemason's Tavern, Sir R. B. Williams Bulkeley, Bart., in the chair. Sir Watkins W. Wynn, Lord Kenyon, the Bishops of Bangor, St. Asaph, and Oxford, and a long list of gentlemen connected with the Principality, were present. After dinner the children, one hundred and fifty in number, were introduced, and attracted much attention by the healthiness of their appearance, and the intelligence of their manner. His Majesty remitted his usual annual subscription of 1001., and her Majesty 25/. (annual) ; the Duchess of Kent, the Chairman, Sir W. W. Wynn, Lord Clive, Sir C. Mor gan, Mr. C. Morgar, each gave 501. Above 1,100/. were subscribed. The service was read in the ancient British lan guage, at St. JArries's Church, and the Bishop of Oxford preached the annual sermon. TIIE LATE EARL NELSON.—The Reverend William Nelson, D.D., Earl Nelson, who died on Saturday last, the 28th ult., at his mansion in Portman-square, was the eldest son of the Reverend Edmund Nelson, Rector of Burn ham Thorpe, in the county of Norfolk, and succeeded to the Barony upon the death of his brother Horatio, Viscount Nel son, who was killed in the memorable battle of, Trafalgar, on the 21st of October, 1805, and was created Earl Nelson, of Merton and Trafalgar, of Merton, in the county of Surrey ; and Baron Nelson, of the Nile, and of Hillborough, in the county of Norfolk. His Lordship also enjoyed his Majesty's permission to inherit his late brother's Sicilian title of Duke of Bronti. The Earl, who was a Prebendary of Canterbury, was born on the 20th of Apt il, 1757, and married on the 9th of November, 1786, Sarah, daughter of the Reverend Henry Yonge, who died some years since, by whom he has only one surviving daughter, Charlotte-Mary, married to the present Lord Bridport. His Lordship married, secondly, a daughter r ~ MIDDLESEX ELECTION. On Friday last, a large number of Mr.. Hume's friends dined together at the Cherry Tree Tavern, Southgate. Mr. John. Robbins, of Enfield, was in the Chair ; and among the company present were Thomas Edgley, Esq., Thomas Webster, Esq., Henry Gostlin7, Esq., Captain Lovegrove, R.N., —Longnnate, Esq., and a great number of gentlemen of the first respetqability. The CHAIRMAN rose and said = Fellow countrymen and brothers, we have commenced our march, and by carrying at our front the banners of reform, we shortly shall drive the despicable Tories for ever from the field, We are this day met here for two perposts—first, to congratulate each other upon the return of our most excellent, indefatigable, and patriotic friend, Joseph Hume, Esq., as Meniber of Par liament for our county of Middlesex, opposed, as we have been, by all the troop of the clergy, by all the pensioners and placemen, and by all the force the Great Captain and his Tory crew could bring into the field. We have con quered, and gloriously won the battle. Now, Gentleman, I have another and very important statement to make to you, which is—that you will not, under the present serious crisis, for a moment slumber at your posts, but that you will, with all the energy in your power, and true En glishirien, endeavour to get up meetings in every part of this district, for the purpose of destroying at once and for ever, the treacherous pretensions of the Conservative party. —(Cheers.) Mr. Robbinr, in alluding td the House of Lords, observed—" that What he had long feared, was at length come to pass. From the profusion of lawyers in that Houie, it was no longer a House of Lords ; it was converted into a mere Court of Law, where all. the solid and honourable principles of truth and justice were sacrificed tl the low and miserable chicanery used in Westrninster-hall. That once venerable and august assembly now resembled more a meeting of pettifoggers, than a House.or Parliament —(cheers)—and, Gentlemen, it has filled myltreast wtih in dignation, when I have seen good measures brought up from the House of Commons, day after day, thwarted and opposed by men who resemble more a set of Cornish at tornies, than members of that (called) Right Honourable House.—(LOud cheers.) The-Hon. Chairman, after a low , and eloquent speech, concluded by proposing the health of their worthy and excellent representative, Joseph Hume, Esq., which was "drank with the most lively enthusiasm ; after which, Thomas Edgley, Esq., Captain Lovegrove, and other gentlemen addressed the meeting. The Chair man next proposed the healths of George Bvng, M.P. ; Colonel Evans, M.P. ; D. W. Harvey, M.P. ; and the Editor of The Sun Newspaper, which being drank, the meeting separated. WESTMINSTER CONSERVATIVE SOCIETY. A numerous and highly respectable meeting of the con stituency of the city of Westminster assembled for the pur pose of establishing a society of the above description at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's, yesterday at two o'clock. On the platform we observed Lord Eliott, the Hon. Robert Scarlett, Admiral Sir R. Stopford, General Sir E. Barnes, Mr. 'Alderman Farebrother, Mr. Baring Wall, M.P., Mr. Gladstone, M.P., Mr. Nichol', M.P., Hon. Captain Dundas, M.P., Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., Hon. John Lowther, M,P., Mr. Neeld, M.P., Sir John Hay, M.P., Mr. Drummond, the banker; Lord Deerhurst, Digby Wrangham, Esq., Sir John Walsh, Baronet, Captain Burton, Hon. J. Stuart Wortley, Sir W. Wilman, Bart. At half-past two o'clock Lord Eliott was called to the chair, amid the loud and long-continued cheering of the assembly. His LORDSHIP said that he should state the objects of the association, and the means by which it proposed to:attain those objects.—( Hear, hear.) They had no other object but to return to Parliament men of well-known and tried integrity, moral courage, judgment, and experience, who were absolutely necessary to uphold those rights and insti tutions which were threatened by the march of Radicalism and the machinations of faction.--(Cheers.) This they would do, and what they would not do his Lordship would state very briefly. The Westminster Conservative So ciety would neither cajole nor threaten the Executive or the Legislature. It would not summon forth bodies of men to overawe the Parliament, or organizations cf Unions, or what title soever they might rejoice in, with serried ranks and banners unfurled, to crowd and clamour round the Palace gates, and intimidate, if it were possible to do so, the So vereign. The Members of the Westminster Society were not adverse to, nor would they be foremost in retarding the march of, real liberty or rational reform. In saying this his Lordship ventured to say that he spoke the sentiments of every gentleman present : that they were truer friends to, the improvement and amelioration of the human race than the pseudo patriots of the day, who, with liberty on their tongue, but tyranny at their heart, deceive and delude the miserable and infatuated multitude who are led by them, and who foolishly believe their professions.—(Loud cheers.) The electors of Westminster needed nothing but unanimity and firmness to ensure them victory when the proper time should arrive.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Mr. BAItWISE, in moving the first rerolution for the for mation of the Westminster Conservative Society, spoke at some length on the necessity of such an institution, to ena ble the loyal and well-disposed electors of the city of West minster to stand by their King and the Constitution, and put at defiance the intimidation and threats of faction held out to them by the Revolutionist party, and which for want of unanimity and proper organization on their part lost them the late contest in which they were so disgracefully overthrown. The Hon. J. S. WORTLEY seconded the resolution. The Hon. Mr. SCARLETT said that the Church of Ire . - land was threatened. It was not only the bulwark of the Church of England, but the very tenure by which England held the sister country.—( Hear, hear.) When bad men conspired good men should unite to oppose them.—( Cheers) Mr. FREEMAN moved the second resolution, relative to the annual subscription of one guinea to the society, which was seconded by Sir J. WALSH, Bart., who remarked that it was an ano , maly in the late returns to Parliament that the City of Westminster, which contained such a majority above all other classes of the middle and respectable order of society, was so imperfectly, in fact was not at all, represented. This anomaly in future could only be prevented by the plan contemplated by the present Association, which, if there were others set on foot through England, to protect the honest electors, the country would be preserved from the horrors of revolution, which were already beginning to appear in the distant horizon.--(Cheers.) Alderman FAREBROTHER moved the 3d resolution, rela tive to the formation of a Central Committee. Mr. R. TREVOR seconded the resolution moved by the last speaker. In speaking against every thing like exclu sive dealing, he was satisfied he expressed the sentiments of every gentleman in the room, who should feel ashamed of countenancing such a disgraceful mode of proceeding in the remotest degree.—( Hear.) Sir T. OMMANNEY moved a resolution on the mode of admission of members. Mr. DELMAR seconded the resolution. Mr. WALFORD moved the next resolution en the subject of branch or divisional CoMmittees, wIL•11 was seconded by Captain Dundas, M.P. Lord FaANcts IEORRTON proposed the Noble Chairman as a fit and proper person to fill the high office of Presi dent to the Westminster Conservative . Society. Mr. MARSHALL seconded this resolution. Ml'. BARING WALL, M.P., moved a resolution relative to the expenditure of the subscriptions of members on the inceidental 'costs • of registry, and (Alicr purposes prepara tory to the next election, which was seconded by Mr. Spike. General Sir E. BARNES moved the thanks of the meet ing to the Noble Chairnian for his proper and dignified conduct on that occasion. Mr. FRASER seconded this resolution ; after which the meeting separated at four o'clock. THE TEA TRADE. Yesterday the East India Company's qUarterly sale of teas commenced at the East India House. The attendance of the wholesale - dealers and other parties interested in the trade was very numerous, a more than ordinary interest being felt in the result of the sale, in consequence of the late excitement pro duced among parties engaged in the trade with China, by the news from Canton, obtained by the last two arrivals from thence. The Company's declaration for the present sale was as follows :—Of Bohea, 800,000Ibs. ; Congou, Compoi, Pekoe, and Souchong, 3,800,0001b5. ; of Twankay and Hyson Skin, 4,200,0001b5., and of Hyson, 200,0001b5. ; making a t..tal of 6,000,0001b5. This declaration was 3,000,0001b5. less than the previous sale. As soon as the presiding Director had taken his seat, and the precmble to the sale was read, Mr. MILLAR said, before the sale commenced he wished to put some questions to the Chairman, which were of consider able importance to the trade throughout the country. He wished first to ask whether it was the intention of the Court of Directors to make any alteration in the upset prices of teas at the next June sale, and what quantity of teas were to be de clared for the ensuing sale ? The CHAIRMAN said, Cat with respect to the first question, he could state that it was not intended to make any alteration in the up:et prices at the June sale.—( Hear, bear.) With respect to the other questions, the quantity to be declared by the Court of Directors for the June sale would materially de pend upon the state and prospects of the tea trade at the usual period for issuing the declaration.—( Hear.) The sale then commenced, and the Boheas, as usual, were first offered. The first offers were as high as 2s. 2id. per lb., and throughout the day prices were given from 3d. to 4d. per lb. above those realized for similar qualities at the last sale in December. The biddings were extremely brisk, and between 10,000 and 11,000 chests passed the sale yesterday. The whole declaration will not be got through for nearly a fort night. At the conclusion of the East India Company's sale there will be offered about 10,000 chests of private trade teas. SPilirl OF THE PUBLIC JOURN A The opposition papers are amusing, or buoying up, their readers, with stories of dissensions (" splits" we think they call them) in the Ministry. This is all pure fudge. If the Duke of Wellington were to go out of the Administration to-morrow, it would be to accommodate the responsible Prime Minister, and in full accordance with his Grace's declared senti ments before the Cabinet was formed—when he said that he would take any office, or no office whatever— just as might best su:t the general well-being of the Government. But there is nothing of the sort in con templation—nor ever has been. We cannot, however, say so much for the opposition. There, indeed, we find marked symptoms of a " split ;" for when Mr. Hume last night thought proper to declare , that the King's answer to the address did not deserve the thanks of the House, because his Majesty said nothing about the measures of corporate reform, &c., alluded to in the amendment, which certain Honourable Members presented to him in undress and dirty boots, Lord John Russell said that "he did not agree with the Hon. Member for Middlesex." Surely Lord John might at least have called Mr. Hume his " hon. friend," or his " hon. colleague !" Besides the " splits" in the Ministry, there was yet another mare's-nest uncovered last night, but it was in the House of Commons. Lord John went down with a long-tailed attendance, to " ques tion" Sir R. Peel, or, accordin g to the ancient sense of that term; to put th e Ri g ht on. Baronet "to the torture." It was a Miserable exhibition on the part of the Noble Lord, the torture being administered to, not by, him, and that with much dexterity. Lord 'John • mixed up among the " rumours" which he had an nounced beforehand that he would lay as the founda tion (a solid one !) for the interrogatories of the even ing, one to the effect that Ministers projected an early dissolution of Parliament (within " a fortnight," was it not ?), and as an expiration of the present Mutiny Bill was in that case certain, and its speedy re-enact ment altogether impossible, Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues were, under such untoward circum. stances, to keep up a standing army without the authority of Parliament I Our readers may judge of the good sense and sobriety of such an attack upon the Government, when they are assured that the Noble Lord who made it was hailed no otherwise from the Ministerial benches than by cries of " Oh, oh !" inter spersed with here and there a loud laugh. Sir R. Peel afterwards hinted a conjecture as to the origin of . such an alleged " rumour," by protesting that the first time he ever heard of it was from the lips of the noble Leader of the Opposition. Lord John appeared to have profited in some degree by the day or two which had elapsed since his notice for asking questions was given, inasmuch as he put his interrogatory with re gard to the " rumoured dissolution of Parliament into the shape of a declaration, that he would not ask it at all—leaving it entirely to the Right Hon. Baronet to grant explanations or withhold them, or allude to the subject of a dissolution, or pass it by without the slightest reference, just as he might fancy. The Noble Lord was even so considerate as to offer Sir R. Peel time to consider the subject matter of the questions which his Lordship had, with so great a flourish, threatened to put, but which he did not put. TiMC !— time to answer a question, when he presses the Minister for measures, before the commissions upon which those measures are to be founded - have re ported ! But Sir R. Peel had no such silent fancy to indulge. He knew his own game too thoroughly. The Right Hon. Baronet pounced at once upon the cow ering Leader of the Opposition, and spoke out upon ' the matter of the rumoured, or quasi rumoured, disso lution. He taunted the Noble Lord with having " receded" from hi s th rea t ene d i nterrogator i es touching. the (non-)expected dissolution of the present Par liament. He did not, it is true, advert to Mr. Pitt's time for precedents how he should answer when sifted on the point in question ; but he took an authority somewhat more biting in relation to Lord John Rus sell ; for it was no other than that of Lord Grey, who, on the 21st of April, 1831, was asked by Lord Wharecliffe, on the ground of certain rumours being. in circulation, " whether he" (Lord Grey) " had ad vised his Majesty to dissolve the Parliament ?" To which 'the Noble Earl gave a reply which Lord John must have felt to be a smasher, for it was as follows— . viz., " I believe the Noble Lord's question - will be admitted to be one of a very unusual nature, and I can hardly bring myself to believe that when he put it the Noble Lord expected an answer. But, whatever the - Noble Lord's expectations may have been, I have only to say, I must decline answering his question." submit " If," said Sir It. Peel, " theNv,oillillenoLtord object 11 to a to a rebuke from any one, pre re buke coming from Lord Grey. However," added the Right Hon. Gentleman, " I will be more explicit than Grey," and he accordingly went on to state that he had never, by any act or expression of his, directly or indirectly countenanced any such rumours, nor had he even discussed with any person a case hypothetically in which a dissolution would be justifiable. With re gard to Corporate Reform, we are sure that we but anticipate the sense of the country in stating that the Minister's reply to Lord John Russell on that point will be looked upon as • most satisfactory—satisfactory and encouraging in the highest degree to those who had been most apprehensive as to the designs of Mi nisters. After a scornful disavowal of any interest whatever in keeping up Corporation abuses, and of any lurking prejudice in their favour, the Right Hon. Ba ronet pledged himself to bestow upon the report of the Corporation Commission, and the evidence presented by it, the best consideration that he could command. But he made.rather a home appeal to the members of the com mittee of the House of Commons (which recommended the Commission) and to the Speaker, who had been its chairman, in reproof of those impetuous spirits who are for letting violence, under the name of prompti tude, on all occasions usurp the place of circumspec tion ; Sir R. Peel referring to the report founded on its authority, that certain remedies which would suit small Corporations, would not suit " great ones," and that the most popular Corporations were " not the most pure." It stated likewise many other circum stances tending to show that time materials afforded by the Commission may possibly not be so favourable as sonic imagine to sweeping, and at the same time rapid, legislation, even under the guise of reform ; though of reform, and that an extensive one, we make no doubt that our municipal institutions are susceptible, or that they stand wretchedly in need of it, and Sir It. Peel emphatically declared that he had no inclination to blink it. With respect to the Church of Ireland, the leading and most important announcement of Sir Robert Peel, was that he did not feel himself precluded from the adoption of any measures proposed by tire Church Committee appointed under the late Government, provided such measures should not be inconsistent with that which was his fixed opinion, viz. " that church property ought not to be diverted to any but ecclesiastical purposes." If religious education in the doctrines - of the Church of England he considered among such purposes, the Prime Minister will have many able and honest Statesmen to agree with him ; and among the rest, unless they have changed their minds with their political emergencies, the major por tion of the late Cabinet Ministers. Upon this sub- • ject we shall just add our gratification at observing that Sir H. 1-lardinge has announced the inter Pion of Government to increase rather than diminish imme diately the estimate for the education of the poor in Ireland, on that which is usually called Archbishop Whateley's system, or, in other words, the system in troduced under the last Government, and by which the old Kildare-place scheme was superseded. sNow as the new plan of education is allowed on all hands to operate admirably, and to conciliate the goodwill of Protestant and Catholic, and as it was one of those reforming measures which the enemies of the present Ministry have been incessantly predicting its eagerness to overturn, we submit this case, as we did that of the negro emancipation, and the conduct of the Conserva tive Government relatively to both, for practical evidence that the main objection ever started against Sir R. Peel and his colleagues—we mean the impossibility of their lending an efficient support to reform mews-ores— _ must be given up as captious a n d u n t ena bl e .
