The prizes are lof 100,000, lof 50,000, lof 30,000, 1 of 20,000, 1 of 10,000, 2 of 5,000, 4 of 3,000. 7 of 2,000, 20 of 1,000, 40 of 500, and 1,500 of 108 marks, 'which 1,578 money prizes are altogether stated ;n marks bane-, and payable without any deduction whatever; 4,000 ti ck ets beir g deli vered gratis to the holders of the 2,000 first-drawn tickets, a s per scheme, those purchasing one ticket, at the trifling cost, of Si., may obtain three prizes, and thus, if fortune proves fAvonrable, gain 180,000 marks banco, at the present exchange, equal to 13,0001. sterling. Owing to the gratis-tickets, the number of tickets on sale is a very limited one, SO that, of coArse, they will be cleared off very rapidly, and a rise in price occur very soon. Those desirous to purchase at the present arst price of 8/., are requested to direct, by one of the first mails, but only for whole tickets, to the above-named Con tractors, Heino Brothers, in Hamburg. Those remitting a 10/. note receive an order for the balance of 21., together with the ticket, by return of mail ; on the other hand, those preferring to pay Heine Brothers' draft for the co - A, are recommended to pay such draft immediately when presented. A full scheme, and every desirable information, being always sent with the tickets, those giving orders will only have to write a line, ordering the ticket or tickets, adding the money, or an order for the same, or stating the mode of payment that may be more convenient to the orderer, and giving their full and plain directions, to secure the safe receipt of the communications. Those honouring Heine Brothers by pur chasing, may depend on the strictest secrecy, as to their taking a chalice or getting a prize ; such being the undeviating rule of the old-established and most lucky Office.

The following reply has been given by Sir R. PEEL to res , lutions transmitted to him from the Dissenters of Birmingham. We cr,. n easily make allowance for the warmth with whi•A men of principle are prompted to condemn a dereliction of principle in others, but even this zeal. in a good cause may be carried to ex cess. We can see no reason why the Dissenters should 'refuse a complete redress of their grievances, " because of their utter detestation of the political character of the men who are now in office"—a detesta tion which their enlightened countrymen will not deem either unnatural or unjust, when told that these self same men have always proved themselves the bitter, and some the malignant foes of the Dissenters, whose liberties they would rather abridge than extend, hold ing them up in the great councils of the nation as schismatics, fanatics, and atheists ; whose children, even though clothed with virtue, or sparkling with in telligence, they have asserted, possess a contaminating influence which precludes them from the honourable association with the sons of Episcopal baptism and confirmation." If the measures proposed for the relief of the Dis senters in themselves good, let them be accepted ; but that acceptance need not relax the efforts of th e Dissenters to remove the present Ministers from F., po sition which they cannot occupy, even for the shortest time, without the greatest danger to the interests of constitutional liberty. Whiteha, Ldon, " Sir,---I have r ece i ve d the" communica ll tion on which J has been made to me, by the direction of a meeting at Birmingham of the Dissenting deputies, over which you appear to have pre sided. " I cannot believe that either the sentiments embodied in the resolutions of that meeting, or the language in which those lentiraents are conveyed, will meet with the concurrence and approbation of the general body of the Dissenters of this country. " That body is, I apprehend, much too enlightened and too just to sanction such a principle of this—that supposing the Ministers of the Crown should propose to Parliament measures for the relief from grievances (measures which app ear , i n t h e opinion of the meeting, to be essential to the tranquillity of the empire',) still those measures ought to be rejected at once by the representatives of the people, as unworthy of acceptance, however complete the relief, and however satisfactory the mode of effecting it. _ " It would not be becoming in me to notice with any feel ings of irritation or intemperance the expressions in which these sentiments of the meeting over which you preside are conveyed. " Neither those sentiments nor those expressions will affect the course which it is my intention to pursue, nor abate in the slightest degree my desire to consider in a spirit of conciliation and peace the redress of any real grievance of which the Dis senters may have just ground to complain. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " ROBERT PP .- " The Rev. Timothy East, Birmingham," The air is full of alarm Tnes, and the nation, it seems, is to be fri p i. t.ened out of its wits by the raw head-and-bl',ody-bone doings of the Dcstructives. The anti-national novelties" of the " revolutionary faction," supported by " destructive radical ferocity," and countenanced by a " factious and incendiary London press," who " would reconstruct for WIL LIAM IV. the same scaffold on which King CHARLES fell," are shouted in our ears with all the force of a Chinese gong—to which instrument, by the way, the Tory press may not inaptly be likened, for it is very hollow, very sounding, and made of brass. Nothing but shocking intentions on the part of the Destructives must now be dreaded if we are to believe the Tories. The sober-minded electors cannot choose but tremble ; and, as they value their lives, money, and peace of mind, they ought at once to reel over to the Tories, and give them " their most sweet voices," if not from love at least from affright. This had been a very good electioneering trick in the olden times, but it is sadly to be feared that the day is gone by for such cleverly devised stratagems to be effective. The phrases above quoted from a Morn ing Paper are indeed enough to startle those for whom they were evidently intended, namely, all the Weak witted folks in the three Kingdoms. The Tories fancy they may win the game with such ominous cards, judiciously shuffled and cut. Perhaps they will be disappointed. How many deeds of crime have been discovered by slight slips of the tongue. Amid all the atrocities alleged against the unhappy Destructives (wherever they arc to be found,) one accusation is made, in the same article from which these terrifying expletives are taken, that throws considerable light on what is now going forward in the political world ; they are arraigned for no less a crime, forsooth, than the desire "to get possession of office I" Whatever quantity of truth there may happen to be in this charge, their supposed desires have little prospect of being realized, for a very long time to come at least, so that the point, as regards them, need not be discussed at this early day ; but a counter proposition, that is clearly established by the allegation, may admit of some profitable consideration. The hope of one party to get possession of a th; ag , very logically bespeaks the hope of another 'party to retain possession of that thing ; and the e‘riorts to sup port that retention, just as logically 'oespeak the value of that thing—supposed or int-:insic, as it may be. Men do not generally care mu' i 1 about that which is valueless, or expend much tr oublc in quarrelling about its possession ; it is only in matters of precious value that their feuds becor.ie desperate, and their strife eager. Hence it not altogether wrong to in fer, that the " possession of office" is something worth struggling for. The " office" here meant is pretty well understood to imply power, patronage, and money, Bereft of patronage and money, the power part of the affair might not perhaps be so uni versalls: coveted ; it is only the adjugation of the other two 2 .ttribu.tes of office which imparts to the possession of r2 , oP:er so estimable a quality. 'ow, putting aside for a moment the intentions of the Destructives, whatever they may he, (and, were they a thousand times worse than they are represented as being, they seem to be too contemptibly supported to be seriously dreaded,) and recurring only to the ex pressed feelings of the people, we find that in the simple concession of " good and cheap government, which is really all they ask, OFFICE would be de prived of the much that they object to, and the much that a handful of others are ever greedily contending for, and urging others (by threat, entreaty, bribe or affright) to abet them in securing. T11.;:3 is the little secret that explains all difficulties. Take away money and patronage (which is nroney under another name), and what becomes of the Tories ? Hey I presto ; they have ceased to exist, evaporated into thin air, gone for ever I There would be no more struggling and squab bl'.ng and cryings out for help about the casket, when the jewel it contained has been remov e d. I t i s t h e power to receive and to distribu which now g i ves to office so much of its fascination: therein lies the charm. Wherefore have the Tories tripped up the heels of the Whigs ? Because the Whigs were inclined, or sheaved symptoms of obedience to the compulsion that would force them to shear down these brilliant redun dancies by retrenchment. Wherefore do the Tories declare war to the knife with the Reformers —where fore do they vilify and asperse them, and denounce their objects as being destructive and revolutionary, factious, incendiary, and regicidal ? It is because the Reformers--exasperated at Tory misrule and oppres sion, and Tory abuse of the public purse —now seek, and arc determined to have good and cheap govern ment—.a government that shall have power but to be exercised for the public good, and that shall be paid wisely, but not too well ; just such a mode of govern ment as shall be the very reve-.se of Tory theory or Tory practice. It is but natural that, - fighting as they now do for very existence, the Tories make the best use of the weapons that come to hand. There is nothing like terror for subjugating the timid ; accordingly they have dragged forward the Church an the Throne, in order to denounce the heinousness of backsliding from either. This they do after a logic of their own. " We," say the Tories, " are associated in love and in property with Church and State ; if you abandon us, good peor,;le, you abandon. them ; desert us, and you deser yrJur King. You neglect both your heavenly arn your earthly duties." Superstitious persons are dread fully frightened at being anathematized, and without scrutinising over nicely, the probably questionable au thority from which the denouncement may proceed, are oftentimes prone to yield to the influence of a terror which reason would have enabled them to despise. Because it entered into the noddle of somebody pre sent at a meeting, held a day or two ago within the classic precincts of Houndsditch, to make allusion to the fate of King CHARLES, all the Reformers of all England are to be stigmatised as incipient regicides and revolutionists. Poor Tories ! to what extremities are they not driven in their despair. The Dissenters of IVlonmoutlishire have not been behind their brethren in other *parts of the kingdom, in expressing their sentiments on the present unprece dented aspect of public affairs. They have presented an address to Mr. WILLIAMs, their late excellent Representative of the county, the sentiments containpA in which are, we venture to say, in perfer* those of the wh o l e o f t h at num unison with P throu , hout th e Brit-' ious and powerful body Empire. The spirit which now pervad-• not only th e Di ssen t ing c ommunity, h u t Al / the true friends of the Constitution, is well pour trayed in the following passage : " We have grievances to be redressed, we have oppressions to be removed ; and we are determined to use, untiringly, every honest and constitutional means of getting free from our thral dom ; yet we trust we know how to time our complaints, and we conceive that we make no compromise of our principles when we say, that, in the present struggle in defence of the general Liberties of the Community, we merge the exclusive name of DISSENTER in the general name of BRITON. Though we are men of a party, we are not party men. TVe will not use our power for party purposes, but are prepared, on all occa sions, to join our fellow subjects of all classes in defence of the general principles of Civil and Religious Liberty. " When the destinies of the Nation are placed in suspense— when, at a moment like the present, though we are living under a limited Monarchy, we have yet been called upon to submit for weeks to an absolute Government—when, in fact, all that i 3 dear to Freemen is jeopardized —we trust we need make no apology for approaching you with a declaration of our senti ments. We trusted to your promises, and have not found you wanting. We thank you sincerely, unfeignedly, and grate fully, for your past coadnct ; and we cannot conclude without adding, that, if a Dissolution of Parliament takes place, YOU SHALL COMMAND OUR ENTIRE, UNFLINCHING, AND DETERMINED SUPPORT." We are pleased to findt hat Mr. OTWAY CAVE has announced his intention of standing for the County of Tipperary. In his address to the Electors, this gentleman says, very properly, " the recent Govern ment manifesto seems to mean an unequivocal an nouncement to the Irish people, that all the powers of a military despotism will be employed for the perpe tuation of a system which the majority regard with abhorrence." Mr. VERNON, too, who is another equally staunch advocate for Reform, is in the field for South Derbyshire, and observes, in his 'address, " a few days ago, when at Portsmo.. 4 ,' n, T stood u„0„ the deck of the Victory —up, the spot where NEL SON fell, and there I saw engraved the words so dear to every Briton..-- 4 England expects every man to do his duty.' " We trust the electors of South Derby shire will not forget this motto, of which their liberal candidate so seasonably reminds them. We cannot too much applaud the determination of Mr. BENJAMIN 'WOOD (the brother of the Alderman) not to oppose Mr. D. W. HARVEY in the borough of Southwark. However highly as a private individual Mr. WOOD may be considered by the electors, we think that the pretensions of such a man as Mr. HAR VEY, who has been for many years before the eyes of his country as a useful, intelligent, and assiduous Member of Parliament, and as a true Reformer, ought not to be gainsayed by any gentleman of whom nothing publicly known but his relationship to a popular Oiaracter. If it were only that Mr. HARVEY were first in the field, no opposition by one whose principles are supposed to be similar, ought, in common fairness, at a time like the present, to be made. A division of inteiest among the Reform candidates would be the triumph of the Tory party. It is in this spirit that Mr. WooD has wisely and patriotically acted, by with drawing from the contest, rather than put his private worth (as allowed in a locality wherein he is we:l known) in competition with Mr. HARVEY'S public character. Mr. HUMPHREY is considered secure. The spirited electors of Southwark may now rejoice at having escaped the risk of becoming a neutral borough, by reason of an unwise rivalry. Mr. WOOD'S generous conduct cannot fail to be remembered by them at a more fitting season. We are extremely happy to see that a new and much enlarged edition of Mr. WORDSWORTH'S very valuable treatise on the Law and Practice of Elections has just made its appearance. It is by far the best work on that, at present, most interesting of all subjects, and we can safely recommend it, not only as a guide to those who, in the discharge of their administrative duties, must expect to encounter difficulties ; but also as an accredited source of information to every elector who may wish to acquire a thorough knowledge of the rights he has ac quired by the Reform A ct . Th e style is (as in s uc h a work it ought to be) plain and perspicuous, and the various topics are arranged and discussed 1 with a scrupulous regard to order and method. , ; hat one can never be at a l oss to 'find • looks We were particularly pleas'witht the manner in which the author explP' h - .. i nat he for. e effect of a Change in the qua lificati'2.'ll since' the lime of regist er i ng , an d th e dili gence ne has bestowed on th a t muc h contested point, the right of Dissenting Ministers to vote in virtue of their dice. The Chapter on Election Petitions is not the least useful part of this useful book. Every step of that intricate, difficult; and sometimes dangerous process, is traced out with a minuteness and an accuracy which cannot fail to render the work highly acceptable to those who have to tread so thorny a path. We have received several letters from Blackburn, recommending us to give our support to Dr. Bow- RING, who, we trust, is about to be elected by that Constituency, as a Member,of the ensuing Parliament. We are so pressed with other matters to-day, that we cannot find space for more than the announcement of the fact, that such letters have reached us, but to morrow we shall devote a short article to the subject. Dr. BOWRING is just the kind of person the people want, and may depend upon our exertions in his behalf. German Papers have been received, but their con tents are unworthy of notice. Extracts from the Brussels and Bay(mr.3 Papers arc given elsewhere. ,lave received a file of Bogota Papers, down to the 14th of October, but the news they bring u s has already appeared in our extracts from the New York Journals of a later date. We have received the Paris Papers of Wednesday, in which we find little more than the reports on the adjourned debate in the Chamber of Deputies, on the question of granting Z 60,000 francs for the erection of a New Court of Justice adjoining the Chamber of Peers, of which we took some- notice in The Sun of yesterday. Wt !at makes this debate of any consequence is, that the srilc object of the Chamber when completed is to serve -as a Court for the trial of the conspirators of April.; as if forsooth there is no public building in France - which ever before served for a receptacle for the crime of rebellion. The debate was adjourned on Tuesclay, after having been continued for two days su ea. yglv A runic , ur has reached us that the QUEEN RE fi•ENT of Spain has applied to the KING of France for ussi§ta uce to quell the insurrection in the Basque provinces, and that General ALA VA was the person chosen to communicate with Louis PHILAPPE on the subject. 'We know not what to think of this rumour, but we suspect it is without foundation. In deed, we would almost venture to- stake our veracity on the fact, that it has been get pp to answer the pur poses of stock- h LI/ i n" 1 1 " b• :or other particulars datitaitied ..-.se Papers, we refer to our extracts, which will be found in another column. in 0.-- We understand that, previously to the meeting of the new parliament, it is intended to institute two new officers in the House of Lords. The Marquis of Londonderry and the Earl of Winchilsea will be sworn in as " Directors'-General" of attacks to be made by the (abuse) Conservative Troops, upon the Liberals in that House I with a salary of only 5,0001. a-year each, and a pension (upon retirement at any period) of 4,0001., with reversion to their heirs for ever I The known moderation and calmness of the above named Noble Peers could alone justify the institution of two such new officers, and of his consequently pre senting so ennobled a Pension List to the admiration, and to the payment of posterity I Probably the Duke of Newcastle and the Earl of Roden will be appointed to act as Assistant Adjutant-Generals, from the well known talents of the one, and the absence of all bigotry in the other ! The Earl of Winchilsea is also to be forthwith appointed " Collector-General of Tithes," and " Grand Conservator of the Peace" in Ireland, with 50,000 men at his disposal. (No " swearing-in" is requisite for this office 1) We should certainly have conceived that one of these last offices would be likely to cut out work for the other, were it not that the avowal of the Noble Earl, that he " was no party-man" ! I (vide a speech made at a late Abuse-Conservative dinner in Kent) must give a sufficient guarantee that these delicate offices will be _executed with great temper and forbearance I We hear that, during the Session, the business will be done by the Secretary for Ireland, as the great " debating" talents of the Noble Earl would otherwise be lost to the, House of Lords. MAJIYLEBONE, MEEr A r i DAY) ri meetinxi of the friends or 0. A Young, t sq., took place this day at t.larke's Au c ti on R ooms , Holles- street, Cavendish square, for the purpose of hearing an explanation from that gentleman of his political opinions and to devise means for se curing his return for the borough of Marylebone, JOHN B. KIRBY, Esq., was called to the chair, and ex plained the objects for which the meeting had been called. He had been acquainted with Mr. Young a considerable time, and *vas happy to bear testimony to his private character, and to his talents and attainments, and, above all, his infertty— ( Hear,)—he would further state that Mr: 'foung was well acquainted with our legal p6liiy and jurisprudence and in every sense of the wiird a person to whom the electors of Maryle bone. might safely intrust theirrights and privileges. It was un necessary for him to enter into any exposition of Mr. Young's principles, as he would be there to explain them to the Clef;- tors in person. In Mr. Young's tkdditA, a short, but satisfac tory, exposition of thtlhZ principles had already been put forward, The CHAIRMAN then alluded to the principal topics of gene ral interest at the present moment, and enumerated till the abuses in Church and State—an economical andelitap .IyM.em of Government—curtailment of the duration of Parliaments— for he agreed with Junin's, that there was very little difference between a seat for seven years and a seat for life. Another question of most interesting import was a general system of national education throughout the country. All these were embodied in Mr. Young's address, and that gentleman would now explain his sentimentt Upon these topics more at large to them. G. A. Yorsti, Esq., then came forward, and was received with some cheering. He laboured under considerable embar rassment in coming forward to address them, because he felt that men, however high in station, and however gifted with attributes that exalt them above their f ititn—however illustrious by birth, or independent by fortune, that they must be still further honoured by being elected to represent that borough by the free and unbought suffrages of the constitu ents. If he (Mr. Young) possessed those qualifieations, though in an humble degree, how much more honoured must he feel at being called upon to advocate their liberties, and interests. Under these circumstances he would put them to as little inconvenience as possible to enable them to judge whether in the circumstances in which the country was at pre- sent placed, he was a proper person to whom their interests might be safely confided. He had prepared a catalogue of the subjects which were at present of the greatest public import ance, and if any gentleman would point out to him any oink mon in nis list, he would consider that gentleman his friend. He thought there was no question of equal importance in the present day to the education of the humbler classes. It would appear as if the most zealous philanthropist had turned from that question in dismay at the obstacles with which Sectarian differences and political jealousy had surrounded it. But since the passing of the Reform and the repeal of the House Tax, the constituency bad been so enlarged that that question would now force itself upon the attention of all classes on the ground of expediency alone. Few would deny that at the present day the people had discovered the secret of their own power, and whatever differences of opinion there might exist relative to the extent of that power, there was no difference of opinion upon this point—that it was right and t p h r e i public ; ti t t l y t proper to extend that knowledge and information which would enable the peple to use that power discreetly and wisely.— ( Hear, hear.)

The House Tax had been repealed ; but a large sum was still levied from the middle elasses hi the metropolis, and the large provincial towns, by the window tax, it was de sirable that this tax also should be taken off.—( Hear, hear.) He feared that the consequence of the tax of twelve millions annually, which were levied off the agriculturists under the present system of corn laws, was leading the people of Eng land to subsist without that species of food which Providence had intended for them, as had been the case in Ireland.

He thought with the learned Adam Smith, that the subjects of the state should contribute to its safe ty, according t o their means • and therefore he was an advocate f or th e re li ev i ng the industry and intelligence of the people, by throwing part of the burthens which pressed upon them upon property. In his address, he had explicitly stated his opinions upon the great question of Church Reform—he was an advocate for a fair and a just commutation of the tithe system, and decidedly in favour of the admission of Dissenters into the Universities. He did not think it ne- cessary to go into details upon that question, but when he con cluded if any gentleman wished to hear his opinions further, he would be happy to answer any question that might be put to him. The next question that presented itself was the great and important one of the state of the Irish Church, upon no principle of expediency did he consider it proper to force upon the Catholic population such an establishment as there now was in that country, and he was decidedly of opinion that it should be reduced. He would only ask what would be thought if they in England were forced to keep up the Catholic religion in such great splendour as the English Church was kept up in Ireland —upon the same principle, he thought that the people of Ireland should not be burdened to such an extent as the English peo ple themselves would not allow ; therefore, he thought it ought to be reduced—and he said so as a faith ful member of the Church of England, because he thought the only way to support it and make it really use ful was to remove all its faults and blemishes. There were two other questions which were so important of themselves, and so intimately connected with the purposes of that meeting, that it was impossible for him to pass them over—those were the shortening of the duration of Parliament, and the vote by ballot. With regard to the Septennial Act, he was decidedly of opinion that it ought to be repealed, and he thought that no arguments so forcible could be used as were to be found in the preamble of the Triennial Bill of former times. It was , there stated, among other things, that the more frequent assembling of Parliaments, not only (lid much good to the country, but was also necessary to keep up a pro per understanding between the King and his subjects. He was opposed, however, to annual elections, for he be lieved that all the advantages to be derived from short Parliaments would arise, if they were limited to three or four years at the utmost. Elections could not be carried on without some animosities springing up : they were inevitable, and as he fully believed that all the advantages could be had by the three or four years' duration, he was much in its favour. As to the vote by ballot, he was one of those who had thought that the Reform Bill would have put an end to all intimidation and corruption of voters, but a consideration of the evidence given before the Election Committees of the last Parliament, proved to him, that as much intimidation and corruption was practised at the last General Election as had ever been before. —( Hear, hear.) The opponents of that measure objected to it as un-English—in that there was a great deal to captivate the ear, but nothing at all to justify the understanding. In the ;rnmediate neinithourhood of that meeting there would be many • - aQ were decidedly liberal, who men found who in their own mu,— * situations had been, and would again, be placed in most awkw...... - • by the solicitations of their rich customers. The feelings of that man would be much wrought upon at first—he must either lose his custom, or, if his fatherly feelings predominated, he must go up to the poll, and prove himself a renegade.—( Hear, hear, hear.) On the other hand, he himself knew of a ease, where a man had been reduced to bankruptcy on account of a vote he had given. That, however, wdt not by the rich, but by a combination of his poor customers. He believed that he had gone over all the principal questions —as to that of Municipal Reform, it was so bad that even the new Ministers were ashamed of it. He trusted the enquiries which had been going on would lead to such a Reform as would' decidedly prevent all the jobbing and corruption which had, in former times, been so much practised. He would then conclude his address, but as he had before .stated, he was ready to answer any gentleman who thought he bad not been explicit enough, or if he had forgot any question. A Mr. WILSON then stepped forward, not, he said, to ask any question of the Candidate, but to ask his Committee whether a placard, put out and signed " An Elector," was issued with their approbation. It reflected very much upon the character and proceedings of the vestrymen of the parish of which body he was one. He wished to know whether they sanctioned it or not, because if so he was pre pared to prove that there was not a word of truth in it. If they disclaimed it, he had not another word to say ; but he understood it had been very widely circulated along with Mr. Young's address. Mr. RIDGWAY suggested that, as that was not a meeting of the Committee, but of electors, the matter ought not pro perly to come before them. The better plan, he thought, would be for the gentlemen to wait upon the Committee. The CHAIRMAN was of the same opinion. Mr. WILSON would have no objection to do so—he was in the hands of the meeting, and would do as they wished. Mr. YOUNG said he would afford every facility to the gentle men to probe the business to the bottom. Mr. GREEN then got on the platform. He said he had received a letter front Mr. Underwood, who in consequence of an accide n t, was una bl e to attend. He, if allowed, would read the letter.—( Read, read.) The letter was read, the writer of it complained of the conduct of the Vestry in forcing candidates upon the Electors, and disclaimed any share in the business. If they were allowed to go on so vestries would become not parochial bodies but political ones. Mr. GREEN said he was of the same opinion. The proceed ings of the vestrymen who met at the Yorkshire Stingo were disgraceul. Mr. litoowAr said that was not the question before the meeting. Mr. ROBINSON declared that he was one of thd vestry.. men alluded to, and must deny that there was ally trnth either in the placard or the letter. Three weeks ago, he the vestry, by An unanimons Resolution, declared that they would have nothing tai dd with political matters, as a body,which was on the books, and open to the inspection of all. The election was a mere election trick. Even the press had been imposed upon, for in the Herald of that morning there was two columns of abuse upon the vestrymen. Mr: YOUNn was in favour of all being done off-hand. He would like all to have a fair hearing. Mr. ROBINSON then went on to defend his conduct as a vestryman, and said he was in political matters acting indi viduall,y, and riot tis a Veetrytriaiii Mf. fibimmos said as an active member of Mr. Young's Committee, he must implicitly deny theat the Committe had anything to do with the advice given in the Herald. He thought they were losing much valuable time by quarelling about the vestry—it might be much better spent. WiLioN Insisted that some explanation should be given relative to the letter, and after considerable discussion, in which Messrs. Green, Wilson, Hemming, and Harrison took a part, The CHAIRMAN decided that the discussion was irrelevant. Mr. BrtiEsotAtAl.i then moved a Resolution to the ci ted that a constitutional , and ,liberal address of G. A. oiina,Egq., i 7 Vai entitled to their donfidenee, and that the electors of Marylebone pledged themselves to use their endeavous to secure the return of that gentleman to Parlia ment at the approaching election. Mr. Bridgeman pro ceeded at some length to eulogise the public and private Character of Mr. Yount*, arid contended that he was eminently entitled to the adnildentd Of the. electufs, Mr. Young had on a former occasion, when he was called upon by 301 of the most respectable and influential electors of the borough retired, ra ther than by dividing the interest of the liberal party : 6 ave permitted the return of a Tory.—(Cries of " Hear, hear".) He trusted that the honesty with which Mr. Young advocated the 'variouß important questions submitted to them, would entitle him to some share of their favour, and, above all, he hoped that they would not allow themselves to be domineered over by any party or faction—(Much disapproba tion.) The gentleman by whom he was opposed was scarcely known to the electors of the borough.—( Cries cf "Oh I") He is comparatively an obscure man.—(Cries of "Heis a tried man.") He would conclude by submitting the resolution to them for their approval. Mr. HARRISOG seconded the resoulution. The contest was between Mr. Young and two gentlemen who wished to tyrannize and dominion over the borough, but he trusted that the inde pendent electors would not allow them. After adverting to the rnerits of the other candidates, to whom Mr. Young, he asserted, was in every respect equal, if not superior, Mr. H. concluded by seconding the resolution. A gentleman named FARR here got upon the tabic, and ad dressed the meeting in a very humorous manner. He recom mended them to resist all tyranny, and to look in the News papers for an exposition of his principles. He thought the best means of securing the independence of the borough, was to let every honest elector attend at the hustings, and vote for whom be pleased.—(Laughter and cheers.) The Resolution was then put from the Chair, and carried by a large majority. Mr. Youilo thanked the electors for the confidence they had reposed in him. He was aware that some of them were not inclined to support him, but let them meet him at the hustings and there support veTever they thought proper. Thanks were then voted to !:!ie Chairman, and the Meeting separated at a quarter to 3 o'clock, ANECDOTE OF NAPOLEON'. Blanchard contrived to get to Paris with his vaisseau volant, and made as much clamour as he could about his right to the invention. The thing was new in those days, and surrounded with a mys tery similar to that which once enveloped the philoso pher's stone arid the elixir vitce. All the world, therefore, listened to him ; and when he appointed a day in the month of November, 1783, for the first ascent, all the world ran eagerly to gaze on the spec tacle. Everything was ready ; the public expec tation was at its height, when, suddenly, a youth of fourteen or fifteen years of age, a pupil of the military school, rushed through the crowd, and leaped into the car. The haste of the intruder was fatal to the experiment ; for he broke one of the wings by means of which the balloon was to have been navi gated, and the exhibition was at an end. The name of this young enthusiast was Napoleon Buonaparte. His subsequent attempts to soar were more successful; but his fate was very different to that of the aeronaut. Blanchard ascended seventy times, and died victorious —" the idol," as an awkward fool of a poet has said, " and Archimedes of the French." Napoleon took one flight'too many, and fell—to rise no more ! Than chard repaired his vaisseau volant, and, three months afterwards, ascended from the Champ de Mars, in the midst of an immense concourse of specta ters. Soon after, he crossed the Channel in his balloon, and arrived in England. He then re-crossed it, and returned safely to France. This was the merit of his fortune, and of the winds, for he never could find out how to direct his aerial vessel. Nevertheless, he was a brave and illustrious man; riches and honours were showered upon him wherever he went ; and when at last the poor cotton-t w i s t er —th e d es pi se d rat - trapper —the famished GENIUS (for this is the climax for ri dicule and contempt !)—returned to his native place,. the bells were rung, and he was led in triumphant procession through the streets. Great God, what a moment was that ! What insignificant creatures must the princes of the earth have appeared that day in the eyes of Blanchard !—Wanderings by the Seine. The Marchioness Wellesley will arrive in the course of a few days, as Lady in Waiting to the Queen. On St. Thomas's Day last the Earl of Lonsdale, agreeably to a long-established custom at Lowther, caused to be distributed amongst the cottagers, labourers, and necessi tous poor residing in the parishes of Lowther, Askham, and the adjacent vill ages , f our ca rcases of prime beef, together with a liberal supply of warm clothing, consisting of jackets, petti coats, and stockings, most acceptable Christmas presents. SIR R. PEEL'S MANIFESTO.—At a public meeting in the Wirksworth District, held on behalf of Mr. Vernon, the late Member for South Derbyshire, Mr. Charles Greaves concluded an eloquent speech as follows ;—Then. Sir Robert concludes, " it is unnecessary for MY purpose to enter into further details." No doubt it was ! but is it so for you? for the people of England ? Will they rest satisfied with so meagre, so vague, and so ambiguous a declaration ?—( Cheers.) There are some lines which well designate the true character of this declaration : Qy. " What d'ye think of the address of the DI. P. of Tamwo r th? A. In my humble opinion, it is not a d—n worth :—(Laughter.) It touches all wounds, none professing to heal, 'Tis surface, not substance, not heart, Sir, but Peel.—(Loud laughter and cheers. )" THE SUSPECTED MURDER AT BRISTOL.— Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday, were occupied in the hearing of further witnesses. Mr. Payne, the Barrister, having ad dressed the Jury for the defendant, the Coroner charged the Jury, who, having retired for about forty minutes, returned (says the Bristol Gazette) the following verdict :—" We find that the death of Clara Ann Smith was occasioned by arsenic administered by the hand ofllirs.
