GENERAL ELECTION. WESTMINSTER. ( Mr. SIMPSON'S speech concluded from our First Edition yesterday, and which appeared in our Second Edition last night.) Was he to go into Parliament for the express purpose of supporting that system of degrading and inhuman punishment.—( The returning officer here stated to the speaker that only two candidates had as yet been proposed.)—He had been reminded that there were only two candidates yet before them ( Sir Francis Burdett and Colonel Evans). He certainly could not tell whether the hostile Sir Thomas Cochrane did or did not intend coming forward, he bad only anticipated from his placards, his bills, his coaches, his flags, and his music (Laughter and cheers.) Did Sir Thomas Cochrane think that the enlightened electors of Westminster were to be caught like a country constituency ? If he did, he was grossly deceiving himself—he was deceiving himself in supposing they had no intellect. The electors of Westminster would never be caught in such a way—they looked not to flags, banners, and music, which were put forward to deceive them, but they looked to the principles of the man, and what were the principles of Sir T. Cochrane He was a Tory.—(Loud groaning, hisses, and uproar, which continued for some time.) He was a Tory, but no doubt an honest man, and if he was an honest man he would sune rs every measure of the Tories.—( Continued hisses and.groans.) Therefore, if there happened to be any one in, int astembled multitude inclined to give Sir Thomas Cochrane a vote, he must give it, because he believed him to be an honest man— honest to this extent,—that, he would support his party in all the base measures they intended to bring forward. He would here have to refer to a circumstance that occurred ' the other day, and said, " We took a Committee-room at the Bri tish Coffee-house. Sir Thomas Cochrane finding it out, took a Committe-room in the same place ; but lie took it below us—(Great laughter)—and did more, he wanted to coalesce—( Continued laughter)—and finding there was no possibility of doing that he placards the city with bills crying out " No coalition.--( Immense cheering and laugh ter.) Gentlemen, my business at present is not with the refuse of the country—the Tories, and there are very few of them now-a-days I am happy to say, but my business is with Gel. Evans, and I come before you now to support the nomi nation of that gentleman, inasmuch as during the time that he I aerepresented you in Parliament he has supported a reforma s'et of abuses in Church and State."—( Loud cheers.) Mr. tehn.e e c rehen went on to say the Tories were the men who fe te re( upon the abuses of the Established Church—they sup . - port e c the system for the purpose of plundering the people. The people wished to get rid of the abuses of the Estab lished Church, not, as their enemies would represent, of the Established Church itself, because every one knew and be lieved that the present form of worship was one of the best that could be established.--(Cheers.) He would ask them whether Colonel Evans had any claim to the confidence of the electors in supporting the abolition of flogging ? t( Cheers.) If he had, he would then ask whether the Tory partizans could, or even would, have their confidence upon that ground.—( Cries of " No, no.") He would ask, for information, whether Sir T. Cochrane had never practised the flogging system.—( Uproar, and cries of " Shame, shame.") Colonel Evans had voted for the repeal of the Septennial Act, and would the Tory do that ?—( Cries of " No, no.") He would not detain them longer, but conclude by seconding the nominiation of Colonel Evans, as a fit and proper person to represent Westminster in Parliament. Mr. BARWAYS appeared to propose Sir Thomas Cochrane ; but in consequence of the increasing yelling and hooting du ring the time he spoke, and the imperfect arrangements upon the hustings not enabling us to get near him, we could not hear a single word that was uttered by Mr. Barways. Mr. WALFOED seconded the nomination. During the whole time the above gentlemen were proposing and seconding the nomination of Sir Thomas Cochrane, they were pelted with cabbage, cabbage stumps, potatoes, and all sorts of mis s il es , w hi c h occasionally struck. The HIGH BAILIFF then called for a show of hands in fa vour of the respective candidates ; when there were held up for Sir Francis Burdett Colonel Evans Ali Sir Thomas Cochrane about 20. The HIGH BAILIFF then declared he considered the elec tion had fallen upon Sir Francis Burdett and Colonel Evans. This announcement was received with three rounds of cheers. Sir F. BLIMETT then came forward amidst great cheering. If any thing could add to the satisfaction which he felt in meeting with so large and respectable a body of the citizens of Westminster, it was the unanimity of feeling which per vaded the immense assemblage then before him.—(Great Cheering.) Upon the present occasion they had not before them a field of contest, but a field of triumph— ( Cheers)—because they had the good fortune that day to be scarcely able to choose amiss. He (Sir Francis) could remember the time when they had upon the hustings only one candidate advocating the cause of Parliamentary Reform—( Laughter and cheers)—hut they could not be done out, of a reformer now by any thimble-rig trick or manceuvre of say kind, because, fortunately for them all, choose as they would they could not choose amiss. They must draw a reformer. Whatever thimble they chose, would be sure to produce a Re former.—( Loud laughter.) That VC's certainly a new era in the history of Westminster eleetiems, and he congratulated them upon such a change.—(Che.ers and laughter.) He was going to say there was no one ti.lng that would add to the satis faction he then felt, whatever 'night be the result of the election, than their having so much respect for themselves as candidly and fairly to hear e hat eery one had to say.—( Hear, hear.) The Honourable Ex- r .jrovernor of Newfoundland—( Great uproar and leughter)—s.a la d certainly come from a very foggy climate, and althotegt the sun had dispelled fortunately for them the fog of this neerning, yet so little could the Hon. Ex-Go vernor see the opinions of the electors of Westminster, that he had beer, in' .wed to come forward upon the suspicion that there had been a eeaction, but still he declared himself to be a Reformer. The Hoer. Ex-Governor would have the opportunity of explain ing whathe meant by that word, but if he ( Sir F. Burdett) read the address of the Hon. Governor right, and if he had read the speech right which he had made the other day, he shoulle think he was a downright Radical Reformer; and it v, as singular that he felt and expressed himself exactly • as he himself ( Sir F.) had done in his address.--( Laughter esnd cheers.) He ( Sir Francis) had stated to the electors of Westminster in his address that the present state of the coun try was unexampled—so had the ex-governor, but he had trade an addition to that by calling upon the electors to save the country from some great apprehended danger. If be were a reformer what danger could he anticipate ? ts/Vhat he (Sir F.) for his own part lamented was, that the pre sent Ministers were now in office; but what the Hon. ex-Go vernor lamented was,the wish the people expressed to have those Ministers ousted.—( Hear, hear.) It had been stated, in sarcasm, that the electors of Westminster were to be governed by a rump, and that the ex-Governor had come forward to relieve them from that novel condition ; but the Ex-Governor would not only find himself egregiously iteceived in that, but monstrously mistaken if he in reality supposed that any re-action had taken place in Westminster in the minds of the people—(Great cheering.) The gallant ex-Governor's friends speak highly of the Duke of Wellington. They had even gone so far as to compare iiirn to Alexander the Great. It was a most unfortunate com parison, because, although Alexander was a gre'at leader, he was not remarkable for having renovated or extended the li berties of the people, or of his country.-4 Hear, hear.) Of the Duke of Wellington no Englishman could speak or think without respect ; but all men were not fit for all things, and the Duke had abundantly shown that he was not fit for every thing.—( Hear, hear.) The Gallant Admiral had come before them when all the rotten boroughs had been extinguished—he had come to re ) ..ieve the minds of his party from the supposition that they h:ad all been extinguished, by hoping to find in Westminster the only rotten borough that had been left in the kingdom.—_( Laughter and cheering.) But he would find his search unavailing.— He had always found that when they had taken a little time to reflect, the electors of Westminster acted in the same uniform consistent manner. He should to see what was called a Tory come among them.—( Hear.) He had become a rare animal of - Laughter.) Tories were scarce known among politicians now, and were almost as rare as Unicorns among naturalists. (Continued laughter.) If seay man in those days could catch a Tory he would make a f'ertune by only shewing him in any place for two-pence a picsee._( Roars of laughter.) He had never been a Whig or a Tory—he detested all those shades of politics which produced petty animosities, an d ' would rather see rad unite in one common exertion for the benefit of the country. He would not detain them longer, for he felt that their . eaesse was perfectly s a f e an d secure .—( Ch eers .) The libertte,s of England were not of a nature to be trampled under the ,feet of any faction—they were unassailable from any quareer.—(Great applause.) Although it had been said tb .s t measures without men were of no avail, he was inclined to think that the men were of some value. Meeeures he admitted, were of the greatest importance,. but tiviay should recollect that horses could not draw without bar itoess ; and if they put proper harness on, he defied the sorriest jade that ever drew to refuse to pull their carriage.—(Great .cheering.) He would conclude by observing that their liber ties were beyond the reach or power of any man to overturn or undermine.--( Tremendous cheering.) Colonel EVANS then came forward, and was loudly cheered. He admitted that he had not the long career of services to boast of which the Honourable Baronet could refer to ; but he had some satisfaction in thinking that this was the third time he had made his appearance on these ' - hustings as a candidate to solicit their suffrages.—(Cheers.) He believed that many of the assertions that had been whis pered about, of his being an anarchist, &c., and which had at one time been circulated, were, ere this, disproved. His enemies were no longer in a state to assert such things. He had gained many friends from the ranks of that party from which be had been separated by temporary canses, while, he was proud to say, that he had n o t l os t one o f th ose f r i en d s by whom ' be had been first presented to the notice of the electors o Westminster.—( Loud cheering.) He stood on that day surrounded by the very same gentlemen, and advocating the very same principles which had originally brought him to these hustings.—( Applause.) He was so far fortunate, that = he had achieved this without forfeiting his principles, or with ' out any expense to truth. The present were times of misrepresentation, or he would not allude to the part he took in mediating between the Trades Unions and their employers, instead of, as it had been alleged, at tempting to arouse bad feeling, or exasperate either party. He ▪ had endeavoured to put an end to that strife which had been • so injurious to both. He thought that actions instead of pro fessions were what should be referred to. He would not go into . a catalogue of his votes and acts on their behalf. It might have been his duty to allude to them, but the gentlemen by *how be had been proposed and seconded had relieved him an necessity of troubling them upon that point. He mould merely say, that he bad advocated particularly a removal of the many and gross abuses of the Irish Established Church. He had always raised his voice against the butchery and inhu manity that had been witnessed in that unhappy country. He had contended for the relief of the disabilities affecting the en lightened and intelligent Dissenters of England--( Hear, and Cheers.) And at all times he had advocated the reduc tion of the public expenditure, for the purpose of relieving the distresses of the people, and economising the public purse. His conduct relative to the House-tax they must all bear in their recollection.—(Cheering) It had been asserted, that he, and those who thought with him held revolutionary doctrines, and that no good could accrue to the country, un less it originated with the paltry minions of the back stairs of the palace—the creatures of the pension list, and the can didates for the gorgeous sinecure list. It had been main tained that they and no others had the true interests of the country at heart, whose head had lately established his quarters in Downing-street—( Hisses.) But what ground! had they for attempting to put forward this monstr . ous . on s It was absurd—the object of himself and , his 1 , - .crids was e not to destroy—their wish was to imyrove.. ( At this period a band of music, with the bann ers 's': err T. Cochrane, made their ap pearance, and for se ..eral minutes the uproar was so tremen dous that it 'was impossible to hear any of the observations of the i s aliant Colonel.) Among other things it had been charged against them that they desired to overthrow the foundations of all property. Was it likely, however, that the owner of that great garden and the property around it—that the Duke of Bedford or the Marquis of Westmiester, with both of whom they were now acting—was it likely that those Noble men, possessing annual incomes of hundreds of thousands, would be among those who conspired to overthrow the foun dation of property ?—( Great cheering.) He conceived they were just as likely as any of those great sinecurists, Lord Ellenborough, Lord Rosslyn, Mr. Herries, Mr. Goulburn, or any other of those who composed the present Cabinet ( Hear, hear.) He would say one word now relative to the late Government. When they were in office he ( Colonel Evans) did not pander to them, and now that they were out of power was the proper time to render justice to them upon the subjects on which they had done well for the public good. He viould enumerate two or three benefits which they had conferred. They had opened the trade to China— (cheers)—they had reduced the duty on manufactured goods, and had thereby, more or less, benefitted every man engaged in trade—(applause)—they had worked a Reform in the great corporate boroughs of Scotland—and they were proceeding to inquire into the abuses of the English Corporations. What had the Right Hon. Gentleman who had succeeded them said with respect to these corporations ? Why, he had said that he would take them into h;s consideration. What he had said was something like the cant about civil and religious li berty—to preserve the Church by all means—( Disapproba tion.) What way would the Tories carry this Reform into effect ? It would merely be a Reform in name. He (Col. E.) and his friends dealt in facts, they in vague sophistical expressions. His party would !repeal the Church -rates, not after the manner of Sir R. Peel, who would merely change its payment from one fund to another. The Church-rates should be paid as before, but out of another pocket. They had paid it out of the right pocket before, and Sir Robert had gra ciously assured them that he would consider of the expediency of allowing them to pay it out of the left—( Great laughter and cheering.) There was another point on which he wished to do justice to the late Administration—he meant their Re form policy. Let them contrast the state in which three or four countries on the continent, which were mere imme diately connected with England, were now placed in, with that in which they stood a few months since--( Hear. hear. ) At that period France had but just emerged from a violent attempt made by Charles X. to trample on the new born liberties of the country ; and, he must say, that many of those who were now in power, if they had not as sented to, at least had not disapproved of that despotic at tempt. Belgium was in a state of anarchy and confusion, in her endeavours to establi luational government and free in stitutions. What was the contrast? At the present moment, in consequence of the alliance which had been entered into with Belgium and France by the late Government of this country, in defiance of the insiduous attempts of northern despots, both of these countries now enjoyed peace and independence. —( Great applause.) Let them look at the state of Spain and Portugal. The latter country had been under the con trol of Don Miguel and the priests—the high church party —in fact, the very same party who were attempting to go vern the people of England now.—( Cheers.) By the generous and wise efforts of the late Government, that tyranny was overthrown in Portugal, as lie trusted the present attempt would be by the efforts of the people of England.—(Great cheering.) He would add, with regard to Lord Palmerston, although that Nobleman had been frequently attacked in the public papers, that these four countries owed an inestimable debt of gratitude to him, tend to the late Go vernment. Who were the men by whom that Government was about to be replaced? They were the very men whs. eon _ tended to the very uttermost against Catholic e72.encipation— ageinst the repeal of the Test and Co:yoration A c ts— a nd, when their opposition could be of 1 - Z, a v a il, aga i nst t h e R e f orm Loud cries of " hear.") Now, when that Bill has passed, they say t: ia t th at i s an A ct w hi c h t h ey wou ld have strangled in its 'oiffh.—( Hear.) The assertion that they are the only efficient persons to administer the provisions of an Ac` s , which they had denounced as fraught with ruin to the country, was most preposterous. If they were not apostates, then they were the enemies of the liberties of the country. It had been urged in their defence, that they were not so bad as they had been represented, and that they might give birth to very good measures. Their whole career contradicted such a belief, for it had been one of misrule and anarchy. It was only by combining the strength of the Reformers, and turn ing them out of office, that the country could be safe. Even if there was no other proof of their unfitness for office, the very birth of the present Ministry—its very first step into existence, would condemn it in the opinion of every honest man. Was it to be endured, that the welfare and liberties of England should be held at the mercy of one indi vidual, during a period of twenty-five days ?—( Cheers.) There was no law—there was, he maintained, no prerogative legally existing in the hands of any individual, however high his station in the empire might be, to entrust such power to any subject.--( Tremendous cheering.) What was com menced in violence and usurpation would terminate fatally for the interests of England, if these men were not speedily arrested in their career. The language which he ( Colonel Evans) used upon these hustings, he should not hesitate to make use of in his place in the House of Cemmons should they think proper to elect him.--( Loud cheering.) The same violence and usurpation they might too surely expect whenever occasion offered, would be practised upon their country. He would now say a word or two with respect to the Hon. and Gallant ex-Governor of Newfoundland. He has been the governor of a great fishing establishment.—( A laugh.) They must be aware that the produce of his Excel lency's colony consisted of fish of all descriptions--of haddock and cod-fish, and odd fish and flat fish--( Laughter and cheering) —and it struck him (Col. E.) that either the ex-Governor, or the electors of Westminster were very odd fish if they returned him to Parliament.--( Hisses, and cries of " No, no.") As the Hon. Baronet had observed, notwithstanding the fog which the ex-Governor had lived in, the moment he arrived in Portsmouth a few weeks since, he discovered that he was the man alone fit to vindicate their liberties. They should recollect that Westminster had riot been mis represented by a Tory for the last thirty or forty years ; and he thonght that the superintendent of the Newfoundland fish eties must have some very great qualifications indeed if they sent him, a decided Tory to parliament. This Tory antaghnist had written two addresses of different complexions. There was no such thing now as a Tory—they were all Conservatives. Each of these addresses was distinct, and the latter alluded to civil and religious liberty, and a reform of ulcers and sores. In his former address there was one very remarkable expres sion. He stated that Sir R. Peel was a clever operator, and that the Duke of Wellington was a very great man. The expression of " operator" he should like to have an explana tion of. There was one occasion on which Sir R. Peel had shown a disposition to perform the part of a great operator. At the period to which he alluded, Sir Robert and the Duke were invited to a dinner at the Mansion-house, and it was hinted to them that their company would not be very well received. Had he ( Col. E.) received such a hint, he would have prudently resolved not to go, but the Duke and Sir Robert thought it might cast a slur upon the governors if they staid away. How then did they act ? In order to protect themselves, they filled the City with troops and cannon.—( Hooting, and cries of " Shame.") The very houses were marked in which the troops were to be placed to protect the Tories in going to partake of civic hospitality. Was that the conduct of men fit to be entrusted with the reins of Government ?—( No.) They had preferred the risk of shedding the blood of their fellow citizens rather than the slightest stain should attach to them. Such men were capable of any attempt against the liberties of the people. He had before observed, that, in his opinion, piety and religion would be best promoted by abating that in tolerable nuisance —the Established Church of Ireland. It was unnecessary to allude to the tragical and deplorable catas trophe which had marked the advent of those men to power. The very principles to which these men were wedded was the maintenance of that Established Church, and the exclusion of the Dissenters from their rights. Much blood had been spilt, in the unfortunate affair of Rathcormac, in the name of religion and piety. But did he blame the clergyman or the troops employed upon that occasion ? No ; for they were instruments ; but it was the law which enabled those horrors to be perpetrated, and which the Le gislature enacted, and which they were now about to elect that were to blame. The blood that had been spilt on that unhappy occasion was upon the heads of the present Ad ministration, not because they contended for the maintenance of the English Established Church, but because they wilfully resisted the benevolent measure which had been proposed for the commutation of tithes in Ireland, and that he believed from factious motives.—( Groans and hisses.) A placard was here put into the Gallant Colonel's hands. He was glad to announce to them that the Reformers in the city were 400 or 500 a-bead of the three brothers of the ex-Go vernor of Newfoundland.—(Great laughter and cheering.) He was happy to inform them that the first Reform Member elected in the present Parliament, and one of the most powerful defenders of the liberty of the people, Mr. D. W. Harvey, was behind him, and would probably address them.—( Cheers. ) The Hon. and Gallant ex-Governor had stated that there was but one step between democracy and revolution ; but would they belieue that such men as the Marquis of West minster and the Duke of Bedford would be the abettors of anar chy and revolution? He would assure them, on the other hand, that there was but one step between anarchy and despotism— in truth, that these words were synonimous. The gallant ex governor had stated that rebellion always ended in tyranny, and , he ( Col. E.) doubted not, that if they elected two reformers, the ex-governor would consider that a rebellion. It would be rather difficult to suppose that a whole united people could become rebels ; and he believed that, with the exception of a few sinecurists, the people of this great country were all , united in faeour of reform —( Cheers.) Allusion had been made to the punishment of flogging in the army ; he frosted, how ever, that no personalities would mingle in the great contest in which they were engaged—(Cries of " Hear, hear.) Still it would be carrying delicacy too far if they were on that occasion to say, that unless the gallant officer could repudiate the charge that he was connected with that abomi nable system, he was the least of all others to represent them. No Tory had been returned for that city for the last 40 years. The last who had stood on these hustings had 700 votes out of s,ooo—what prospect of success could the ex- Governor then entertain ?—( Loud cries of " None, none.") He had no right to question the discretion of the Gallant Ez- Gosernor. But he was quite satisfied that the eleete-- would place him in such a ludicrous positin" - the election would not last '- un the poll, that hear.) He wool- , ' . than one day.--( Hear, minste' therefore call on the electors of Weata - .o come forward, not to beat the Tory, for there could he no doubt on that point, but to place him in such a situation as would set an example to all those who advocated Toryism, never to canvass that city again.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") Lut every man who had but two votes give them at once to those men, whoever they might be, who he thought would be most likely to promote the interests of the country. There never was a man who stood upon the hustings seeking the distinguished honor he claimed, who felt more calm than he did at this moment. What was the cause of that? Not that he felt confident of being again returned, but because in the first place he believed he had never given dissatisfaction to those in whose service he had been, and next be cause no man could charge him with ever having been guilty of unfaithfulness to the trusts that had been reposed in l'im. He would for the present then retire from the meetiag, whether he should be again returned or not, under that happy satisfaction, which could never be wrenched from him.—( Cheers.) Sir. T. COCHRANE came on the hustings. His appearance was at once the signal for one universal burst of disap probation. The hootings, and shouts of " Off, off!" were really deafening ; and the vollies of cabbages, potatoes, and other articles of a similar description well known at the site of the hustings, were in no measured degree directed towards the head of him who was considered an intruder, and to the no small risk of those who were near him.—( Hear, hear.) Sir Thomas, however, persisted in retaining his position for about ten minutes, attempting, but unable to be allowed to utter one au dible syllable. At length he retreated, accompanied by about half a dozen friends, to the no small de light of those who had so unceremoniously saluted him. When he got to the back of the hustings, it was with the ut most difficulty he could reach his committee-room, escorted by a strong force of constables, but which however he ultimately succeeded in gaining amidst the loud and continued groans, hisses, and yells of the multitude, and in the midst of cabbages making their way through the air, in the direction in I which he was, as thick as hailstones. Th Meeting was then adjourned, a poll, as we under stood, having been demanded, and the Poll to commence on Thursday morning. CITY OF LONDON. ( Concluded from our First Edition of yesterday, and which appeared in our Second Edition last night.) The poll-books were closed and sealed at four o'clock. To describe the Hall at this moment beggars description. There was one simultaneous rush to the hustings for the purpose of hearing the address of a few candidates. In a few moments t' 4b Hall in every part was crowded to excess. Mr. Alderman Woos) came forward amid tremendous cheer ing, which lasted for several minutes. He begged to return his best thanks to his brother electors and kind friends, the livery, householders, and all who had aided the great cause for their conduct on th e p resen t occas i on , and for the great exertions they had made.—( Cries of " We will continue to do so.") He was not enabled to place before them at the present moment the state of the poll, but he could tell them pretty nearly what it was about three o'clock.—_( Great cheering.) He would in the first place, however, ask from the electors, as the greatest possible favour they could bestow upon him, to hear all his friends who were opposing him.—( Cheers. ) He called them friends, because he had sat with some of them in the House of Commons, and if they had watched his conduct, he was sure ;hey could say nothing to his disparagement.—( Cheers.) He could assure the electors thst the state of the poll was such that it was impossible the friends of liberty would not be elected.—(Tremendous a:leering.) He had not the slightest doubt, when the state of the poll was known that it would be found that the friends of liberty were at least 1,200 a-head.—( Great cheering.) He asked the electors to follow up the great and glorious cause of the people and elect those men the Tories called Destructives—( G reat c h eers. ) H e truste d t h ey wou ld exert !''enasel':es to-morrow, and would place the Reform candidates .n a situation honourable to them and delightful to the electors. Mr. GROTE then came forward, and was cheered most en thusiastically. The Hon. Gentleman, in consequence of the cheering, was some minutes before he could address the meeting. The electors had heard from his esteemed friend and colleague, Mr. Alderman Wood, the general state of the poll as it stood up to the last hour of return.— ( Cheers.) The electors had heard from him that " The Sun" shone upon their cause----(Cheers)—and that ovary thing portended a great and glorious victory to the cause of liberty and Reform.—( Cheers.) He could never sufficiently thank his friends and fellow-citizens for their effective and in defatigable exertions.—( Great cheering.) They had on that day made efforts that reflected the highest honour upon them, and they bad only to continue those exertions, and victory could not fail to crown their cause—( Great cheering, and loud cries of ..We . will, we will.") He was quite sure that it was no cause, either private or personal, to himself that had induced them to make the exertions they had done, but that the stimulus was the cause of the country.--(Great cheering.) The great cause of Reform which was threatened by a great and formidable enemy, which required all the energies of the people to overcome. He was sure that the citizens of London would continue the great work they bad that day began, and would place all the Reform can_ didates upon the poll far above the Tories.—( Great cheering, and cries of "We will, we will.") If they did so, they would do all that their country expected from them, and would add lustre to the name of the greatest city in the world.-4 Great cheering.) He begged in con clusion to add his entreaties to those of his friend and colleague, that they would hear their opponents with the greatest patience.—( Cries of "We will.") Such was the duties of Englishmen,klectors and patriots.—( Cheers. ) Mr. LTALL then came forward and was received with hiss ing, which lasted throughout the whole of his short address. Being placed close to him, we heard him say be felt confident, from the great number of votes which were still unpolled, that a little exertion on the part of the electors would place him in the situation of one of their representatives. All he entreated of them was, that they would come early to the poll to-morrow and do themselves justice. Mr. CRAWFORD, on his appearance, was greeted with great applause. He had little to address to them then, but his sin cere and grateful thanks for the exertions they had made for the cause of Reform. Whether he addressed Conservatives or Reformers, he thanked them from his heart. He told them yesterday, the sort of ammunition they were prepared with for the election, and nobly had it told. All he would say was, " continue your exertions to-morrow," and then they would be prepared to address them in the place they had been put in by the electors. Mr. WARD then came forward, and was received with im mense yelling—so much so as not to be heard by even the se cond person from him. He said whether it was their pleasure to hear him, or their pleasure that he should hear them, he would not be put down from returning his thanks to those who had supported him and placed him in the situation he held on the poll. He was most glad that he had afforded his friends an opportunity of stating the opinions they held upon the present occasion. A further opportunity would be afforded them to-morrow, and he expected such support as would place them in a most enviable position. For himself he had nothing to be afraid of, and he begged leave to thank those who had given him their votes. He held his own opinions, which he would not change for any party ; and if they were not approved of by the city of London, he could not help it. Mr. WILSON then appeared upon the platform, but the yell ing and groans were redoubled. The Honourable Gentleman having been standing and bowing for nearly five minutes, said, " As you will not hear me, I will only give you, The King, the Constitution, and Old England. God bless them 1" and retired cheering and waving his hat. Mr. PsTrisost then came forward, and was received with cheering, which lasted for several minutes. When it bad subsided the Honourable Gentleman said—l return you my thanks most sincerely for what you have done in our great cause. The state of the poll will be known throughout the country to-morrow, and will most materially assist the cause of Reform throughout the land. To-morrow let our majority be greatly increased and the cause of Reform would be secure throughout the whole realm. I again return you my best thanks. Come forward to-morrow early, and the cause of Reform will be certain to conquer. Remember that the poll commences to-morrow at 8 o'clock. There were loud cries for Mr. Hume, but the Hon. Gentle man did not appear, and the Hall was adjourned the usual way. A RADICAL RUPTURE.—A quarrel, threatening the utter annihilation of all future friendship between the parties, has broken out amongst the Oldham Radicals, and manifested itself already in two stormy meetings. Mr. Cob bett having declined to support a separation of Church and State, or the admission of Dissenters to the Universities, and his Committee having refused certain toasts at the late public dinner, Messrs. Halliday and Knott, heretofore two of the chiefs of the cause, have taken offence and created a new party,composed of what may be denominated Radical Dissenters. Friday evening this new party met at the Grapes Inn to consider the propriety of inviting Mr. Hindley, of Dukinfield, to stand as their candi date, when they were disturbed by a chosen phalanx of heroes of the gridiron, and a warm disputation arose, which lasted for six hours; the most disgraceful epithets and personalities were exchanged between the combatants, Messrs. Halliday, Knott, and Platt against, and Messrs. Hague, Swire, Taylor, &c. for the farmer of Barn Elms. On Monday evening the Cobbettites met at the Albion, and the Hindleyites at the Crown and An chor. The latter assembled at seven o'clock for the purpose, according to the bill of announcement, " of appointing a Com mittee to watch over and protect the Dissenters' interests." Mr. Bickerton was voted to the chair, and a numerous Com mittee chosen. Messrs. Halliday, Knott, and Glendenning were the principal orators—they commented on the Dissenters' grievances. Mr. Knight read a portion of " Cobbett's Regis ter," wherein the consistent Member announced himself a con vert to a severance of Church and State. This declaration was applauded by the Cobbetites, and ridiculed by the other party. A disturbance ensued before the meeting dissolved, owing to a deputation of the Cobbettites appearing to desire a conference, which only rendered the division of ,tha parties wide!. THE SUN, LONDON, WIDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1835. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, The city of London has not disappointed the expecta tions of the country. After all the exertions of the Tories, their address, their boasts of the abundance of powder and shot, their hosts of canvassers, it will be seen that the lowest Reforming Candidate is 920 above the highest Tory Candidate, on the day's poll. The numbeir t VOtOrS Who polled yesterday, cannot have been less than 8,500. At the last General Election, the number of - 11,500. A s t h e P- .vicrs plum. was •-• -uries are fighting for life or death, and so depends on the result in the city, which they deem their strong hold, a greater number will probably poll this election than the last. This o‘l ht to be kept in mind by the electors, who must not slacken in their exertions. Though the probabilities of victory are great, yet it can only be secured by great exertions on the part of the unpolled voters. We must, therefore, exhort every Reformer of London to consider the cause to depend upon hit Inditldual elThrts. This is the last battle for constitutional freedom. Again we call on the electors of London to discharge the sacred duty they owe to their country. The eyes of the whole kingdom are now directed to London. On the is sue of the contest in the metropoliS much depends. It is of the very utmost importance, not only to defeat the Tories, but to defeat them by a great majority.—Morning Chronicle. The Elections, hitherto, have more than realized our an ticipations. Sudbury has returned two Reformers. Great praise is, we underetand, due t o the exertione of Messrs. Benjamin and Adam Smith, in making this a Reform Bo rough. Mr. Cowper, contrary to our expectations, has been returned for Hertford. We began to be apprehen sive for Mr. Ward at St. Alban's ; but he, too, has been returned. From the part this gentlethan tpok last session, it gives us great pleasure to find that he will be in the next parliament. His speech on Monday was truly excellent : " It was not (he said) sill he saw the utter vanity of that sys tem of conciliation which Earl Grey was inclined to try with the House of Lords—it was not till he saw that Earl Grey was losing that by which only he could be supported, the approbation of the people—that he took his own course. The electors knew what that had been." The Whigs had certainly a difficult part to play. They had a Reformed House of Commons, and a Tory House of Lord's, to deal with. It has 'now been de monstrated, that till a change takes place in the composi tion of the House of Lords, the country can derive little benefit from the Reform Bill ; but it must be urged in justification of the Whigs, that if Earl Grey had not endeavoured to conciliate the Lords, a great outcry would have been raised against him, that he was too impatient— that he made no allowance for the feelings of the vanquish ed Aristocracy—and that he was eager to humiliate the Peers, from a wish to destroy the most venerated institu tions of the country. On the other band, it is quite cer tain that by not keeping pace with the expectations of the people, he was alienating from him those on whom alone he could count for support on the day of trial, and encouraging the very men towards whom he show ed so much forbearance, to re-possess themselves of power, in the hopes that the divisions between Whigs and Reformers were irreconcileable. In their infatuation they actually believed that the people would quietly submit to be again fettered And manacled. The people, however, soon taught them that they understood thoroughly the merits of the question at issue. They knew that if the Whigs fell short of what was expected from them, the Tories were the cause. All classes of Reformers, there fore, join in detesting the Tories, and rejoice that they have at length put arms into the hands of the people, by which they will be crushed for ever. The Tory papers are not merely extravagant, they are actually rabid. The dog-star does not rage now ; but cold, as we are told by philosophers, also affects the brains of many people. 'File Times tells us " that the days of the British monarchy are numbered." We wonder that it did not hint that the height of the window at Whitehall whence Charles issued, has been measured, in order that a scaffold of due height may be in readiness for a corresponding occasion. The Standard, improving upon the Times, sees in the probable return for Bristol of Sir John Hobhouse and Mr. Baillie, the triumph of Atheism, the suppression of the House of Lords, the abrogation of the Monarchy. " It is not—no Church of England, no high Church, or no low Church : it is no Church' absolute. There is but one step further ; but though we tremble to write it, it is an inevitable step, which was taken in the French Revolution. From no Church' men pass inevitably to no God." We see, then, what we have to expect, if Sir Richard Vyvyan—the "po lished" Sir Richard Vyvyan—be defeated. Our • evening contemporary tells the tradesmen that " they are upon the brink of anarchy and ruin ;" and hints to the bakers that the French Reforming baker, who was hanged at his own door during the French Revolution, may supply a precedent, ere long, for the management of English bakers.- " Wives and children of trades men and shopkeepers (exclaims our Evening Contem porary), may the God of Mercy direct those to whom he has committed your temporal destiny to be wise by ex perience. But do you, at least, your parts to avert scenes like those which, within less than forty years, have passed within a few miles of your own coast. Remonstrate, sup plicate! Ask, will the cry of Reformers' and No- Tories,' give us bread, employment, security, and peace ? Will it not rather plunge us in blood, want, and ruin ?" No, there is no salvation for us but in Knatchbull, and Herries, and Goulburn, and Stormont, and the son of the Duke of Newcastle, strengthened by the accession of Roden and the gallant Marquis of Londonderry, when a Tory majority shall make it safe. We are now " upon the brink of anarchy and ruin." Where were we two months ago ? Where were we at the time of the Mansion-house dinner, when the tranquillity of the country so much astonished Sir Robert Peel ? Hey ! presto, be gone ! The Duke of Wrellington, the Saviour of the Monarchy and the Church, has only drawn us to the brink of an abyss into which we are just about to be precipitated. . God help us ! Let the bakers, in particular, look to it. This is seasoned rather too high for John Bull's stomach. He sees no su c h mighty harm in a more equitable distribution of the reve nues of the Church, and in reduced taxation. The trades men and shopkeepers will return to Parliament no men who will not protect property, and see to the punctual discharge of all the national engagements. They are not to be frightened by bugbears. The Destructives - they fear are the Destructives whom the Tories wish to let loose on us. The results, as we have already said, are every where more favourable than we anticipated. We refer our readers to our election intelligence. We may here observe that Las cellos has been defeated at Wakefield.--Morn. Chronicle. Our Paper to-day contains; as usual of late, a quantity of election matter, of which it would be difficult to give anything like a correct analysis. Some prominent points, r however, desrve a passing notice. The first topic that suggests itself is the state of the poll in the City, where the Radicals are in high glee at the success of their favour ite candidates, who certainly stand higher than was antici pated on the day's poll. But who knows what another day may bring forth ? A majority of the electors still re main behind, and it is to be hoped that in their ranks may be found a sufficient number of moderate and constitutional Reformers to pull up the lost way of those candidates who only stop short of revolution in their desire to correct exist ing abuses. At all events, the candidates who are at pre sent in the minority betray no symptom of fear ; they rely with confidence on the good sense of the people, and the persevering exertions of their friends, for ulti• mate success. It would be absurd to speculate at this moment as to the sesult of the present struggle, when a few hours will bring the certainty before us. We have not far to look for the prominent feature of this election, which has been distingished above others by the first appearance of a Governor of the Bank of England in the- character of a Radical politician. The Whig Press has drawn largely upon this fact, as a proof how secure property may be con sidered under the auspices of a Whig-Radical Administra tion. But all Radicals are not Governors of the Bank of England, nor are all rich men infallible, even upon a ques tion which concerns themselves so nearly as the security of their own riches. Next to London comes Westminster, where the nomination took place, and the polling is to com mence this day. There are various opinions as to the chance of Sir Thomas Cochrane, who has entered the lists against the late Members, Sir Francis Burdett and Colonel Evans. But, however the electors may decide, the multi assembled at the hustings conducted themselves in a man ner of which we are persuaded the electors are incapable. Not satisfied with hooting and yelling, and uttering all sorts of abuse and all sorts of discordant noises, not only against Sir Thomas Cochrane, but against Sir Francis Burdett (Colonel Evans being the favourite of the day), they went so far as to pelt Sir Thomas and his friends while on the hustings, and even followed them, on their de parture, towards St. Martin's-lane, where they made a most brutal and cowardly attack on a few gentlemen who were not prepared to resist them. It is right that the electors should be made acquainted with this outrage. They must be anxious to vindicate themselves from any suspicion of being concerned in it. There is no possibility of judging what the result of this contest will be ; but it required not such disgraceful doings to prove that it will be a sharp one. The next borough that invites our notice is the borough of Marylebone, where Sir William Horne is thought to have a good chance of being returned again, though Sir S. Whalley and Mr. Bulwer, professing Radical principles, were greater favourites with the crowd at the nomination, which took place yesterday. The particulars of this, end of all the election proceedings to which we allude, will be found under th eir respective heads in different columns. We now come to ttee election at Liverpool,where Lord Sandon and Sir Ho ward Douglas are opposed to Messrs. Ewart and Mor ris, both Re dical Reformers, which has also commenced. tht ough the usual accompaniment of uproar was not wanting, enough of the - speaking has been preserved ti show the spirit of the eontfriding parties. We would refer to . the speech of Lord Sandon in for rt manly and straightforward exposition of the principles which he is prepared to advocate both in and out of Parliament. At Leeds, too, there is a contest, and the contest is already begun, It lies between Mr. Baines and Colonel Tempest, for iii John Beckett is eottSidered cult: The nomma lion tools place on Monday, and pail* will, of course be soon decided. There are other places to which we might allude ; but our reporting columns will exhibit more di'stinctly the state of the powerful struggle which is- now going on, not only in the metropolis, but in every part of the empire. It may now be said with truth that excite - - ment prevails,, for at every general election there must be excitenieht. knowledge of that fact, however, should onk serve to put us more upon out' guard, and operate as a caution to every reflecting mind, lest it should be hurried by the power of sympathy into the extremes of violence and Heoald, We are delighted to notice in many tlaellitneering ad dresses from hitherto adverse quarters an altered tondaeat growing Conservative feeling—a resolution, slightly masked, but too apparent to be migunderttood, to support the pre sent Administration, the public confidence in which, what ever may be said to the contrary, is daily, nay, hourly, in creasing. The accounts from the country as to the pro gress and prospects of the election are also, we rejoice to say, of the most satisfactory nature. There is little reason to doubt that upon the whole the returns will present a de cided majority of Conservative Members. We are enabled to-day to lay before our readers o.i'aal gratifying proofs of the good spirit which so generally prevails thoriigbout the country, in the reports of the proceedings on the nomination of candidates at Leeds, Exeter, Liver paol and many other places. An unexpected contest has burst forth at Leeds, in cOnSequenee, as it ap pears, of the bold and uncompromising spirit of the Con , servative electors, who were determined not to content themselves with the return of one out of the two Mem bers. We refer to the animated proceedings on the day of nomination, of which we give the fullest report for which we could find room. At Bristol also a second Conserva tive candidate has been brought into the field, in ,caring' quence of an attempt on the part of the Tleat*Oeltr a t* o force two Reproaentatives of their party upon the'eltya'At both places the loyal and constitutional party confidently expect a deeisive triumph. The proceedings in Liverpool on Monday last, on the occasion of the nomination of can didates to represent that city, are of a most interesting cha racter. The calm, dignified, energetic, and excellent speeches of Lord Sandon and Sir Howard Douglas are worthy of be ing disseminated in every quarter of the United Kingdom at this crisis. While the former opposed with uncompromising vigour the measures which led to the late changes of Mi nistry the latter, with irresisible eloquence, poured forth the sentiments and opinions acquired during a long and useful life, by observing the dangers and horrors of revolutions, and the superior excellence of the institutions of Great Bri tain, to the absolute and democratic Governments under which the speaker had obtained his experience. We re commend the addresses of these two able Conservatives to the serious attention of our readers, and we challenge a contrast between them and the vapid declamation and reck less views of change contained in the addresses of the op- Posing Radicals, Mr. Ewart end Mr. Morris. We are in debted to the polite attention of the editor of the Western Luminary for the report of the nomination at Exeter on Monday last, which will be found under its proper bead. The eloquent and able speech of Sir W. Follett will be perused with infinite satisfaction, and it is with great plea sure we can announce that his return is considered secure. Our account states, that Mr. Divett's friends have spared no exertion, and even on the Sabbath (hear this, Dissen ters!) have been employed in canvassing and tempting parties to forego their pledges. The desecration will, how ever, prove of no. avail, and the good cause will triumph,— Morning Post. The poll for the city of London yesterday did not pro ceed so prosperously for the Conservative candidates as, from the best information we could obtain as to the state of the canvass, we bad been led to anticipate. But the ground which has been lost is, we firmly believe, not yet irretrievable. The contest, however, if it is to lead to a successful issue, must be pursued 'to-day with increased alacrity and energy on the part of the loyal and patriotic portion of the electors. The elevated position of the can didates who are pledged to push on that " movement " of which the end is certain destruction to the peace, welfare, and happiness of England is to be ascribed, in a great mea sure, to the supineness of sonic and the incredulity of others, who have no single feeling or object in common with she Destructive faction to which, by their inactivity, they lend, nevertheless, the most effective assistance. We are surprised to learn that many of those who yesterday voted for Messrs. Lyall, Ward, and Wilson, gave their fourth vote to one of the Radical candidates. This, to say the least of it, is exceedingly thoughtless and injudicious ; it is, in effect, to do and undo in a breath. To show its utter absurdity we need only remark that, supposing every one of the voters for the three Conservative candidates to have thrown his fourth vote into the scale of some one of the four Destructives the whole majority of the latter would by this fact alone be fully accounted for. We have thought it right to caution the Conservative electors against an error into which, from the circumstance of only three can didates having offered themselves on the side of the Con stitution, while there are four on the side of revolution, they are peculiarly liable to be betrayed, by the influ ence of personal feelings, or private influence. Every application, for his spare vote, addressed to a con scientious Conservative, should be met by the firm and peremptory declaration that,—when so much is at stake on the issue of the contest, he cannot, consistently with his duty, consent to reduce the value of the vote he means to give the Conservative candidates by one fourth, for such must evidently be the effect of any fourth vote he can possibly be asked to give. We find in society many persons who profess to wish success to the Conservative candidates and to the Administration, with the fate of which the preservation of the British Constitu tion is indissolubly bound up, and who yet cannot or will not rouse themselves even to the slight exertion of repair ing to the hustings to give a vote. To such persons we can only say that they grievously misunderstand the times in which they live if they imagine that a democratic revo lution, with all the horrible consequences which must at tend it, is to be averted upon such easy terms as a barren and worthless wish of success to the friends of the Consti tution.—Morning Post. We had yesterday the supreme satisfaction of recording, in the most perfect agreement with our principles and feel ings, the first blow that had been struck against the hope less attempt of the Tories to rule the country against the will of the people ; and we hope and trust that to-mor row we shall have the pleasure of adding the City of Lon don to the list of liberal triumphs—if not, also, a metropo litan borough. We do not wish—nor would it be prudent— " to halloo before we are out of the wood," for the changes of fortune in elections are quite as numerous and as various, as the changes of life ; but, at the present moment, the changes and the chances in favour of Liberalism never wore a more fair appearance. The City of London did its duty yesterday in the most admirable and most satisfactory man ner ; and the rejoicing throughout the metropolis had no parallel within our recollection, but that which accompanied the passing of the Reform Bill. * It was our good fortune to be one of a company of about thirty or upwards whon the state of the poll was declared—a special messenger having been dispatched for the purpose of ascertaining the result : and never did we witness a more universal or joyous burst of patriotic feeling than that • which ensued upon the announcement that the highest on the Tory poll was hundreds below the lowest on the LiberaL The cheering—the clapping of hands— and the rejoicing left nothing to be desired in the shape of the manifestation of public feeling. Let not, however, the electors, either of the metropalis or of any other part of the country, feel too confident of success. That feeling may lead to a defeat in more than one quarter, instead of victory. What the system demands—what duty calls upon every Englishman —upon every friend of Reform to do—is to unite with all Reformers—to be energetic—to be persevering—and to lose no chance by waiting for the result of the first day's poll. We have heard that in Fins bury, as upon a former occasion, the Reform Electors are inclined to reserve their votes for the second day. We pray them to rescind their resolution. It will, we assure them—and we assure them on no slight grounds—be a death-blow to the independence of the Borough.—Morning Advertiser. The city election seems on the point of realising the event for which, within the last three days, we have endea voured to prepare our readers, by the return of four mem bers opposed to the present Government, and the rejection of those candidates who are professedly willing to try them. In our opinion, already and decidedly given, it betokens evil to the State, that such at the present moment should be the result of an election for this capital. It would, according to our deliberate judgment, have been better had London set an example to the whole kingdom by electing representa tives more disposed to moderate the movement towards political change, than to accelerate it. Were it only for the sake of changing well, it would be desirable to have men in Parliament more prone to put a drag on the wheel of innnovation, than to spur and precipitate the descent of the law-making body towards that dark region whence there is no visible retreat. However, on considering the course and occurrences of this contest, there may perhaps be some ground for hoping that the larger portion of the electors have not contemplated a triumph to the Radi cals in the votes which they have tendered. It is, we understand, asserted by many of them, that they have acted rather in a spirit of indemnification to Reformers of that class to whom the country stands indebted for the Reforta Dill, than of encouragement or indulgence to those who would make that measure a mere stepping-stone t° violent and indefinite change. If indeed they do regard theiigslael as abettors of a pure Whig triumph, in this preference of the four gentlemen who stand highest on the poll to those who have avowed Gonsesaative principles , there may he much to deplore in what appeals to us the gravest blunder that. could have been committed ; but no one can condemn their motives. They may flatter them selves that it is the triumph of the late Ministers, and the nation may derive some countenance from observing that Mr. Grote,' the most Radical and least Whig-like.of the " Liberal" City candidates, was last night the least for ward of any of them on the poll. But if under a false name, though with a fair constitutional intention, they shall have sent members to Parliament whose totes conduo to the success of the Movement faction, and to its part seizure of the Government, what will it afterwards avail them to tell the country, " This was not what we d& signed, and we are sorry for it ?" Throughout the king dom generally, the public interest in the results of the elec tion seems within these few days to have acquired new force. Animation and energy have in most places suc ceeded to the languor which was at first exhibited, and on both s islaa the battle is carried on as if with a consciousness that every thing ;a at stake. We have seldom read more manly speeches than thou!' which were delivered by Lord Sandon and Sir Howard Douglas, at Liverpool, on Mon day last, the day of nomination, whets the Nolde Lord powerfully exposed the hollowness of the pretence set in many places, that attachment to the late Ministers, 01 ' confidence in their principles, is at the bottom of the present popular movement for the overthrow of Sir Robert Peg and his friends. He showed the fatal influence which the Radical pressure bad upon the Grey Ministry in its several stages—that it was the extravagance and fury of those who called themselves Lord Grey's supporters which had involved that Noble Lord in all his difficulties. The fact is, that there were persons in the very Cabinet of the no ble Earl, who so sympathised with the Radicals out of doors, or were such servile tools at their disposal, as to force a se ries of measures on the Government which rapidly and ef fectually broke it up. What was it that expelled from the Cabinet—first, Lord Stanley—Sir James Graham—the Duke of Richmond—Lord Ripon—Lord Carlisle ; next induced Lord Althorp to send in his resignation ; and finally Lord Grey himself? Why, it was the combinatioo of " external pressure" with domestic intrigue, which des troyed whatever was most essentiatand most an object of rational confidence in that Government, and which still pre sents an insurmountable difficulty to the restoration of that Government as a whole. i . .`,9w suppose for an instant that the coast was clear, anti that the Whigs had office again placed within their reach by his Majesty, i° what shape would or could an Administration be con structed ? If Lord Grey were induced to he once more the head of it, could he have the assistance of Lord Stair ley and his friends or not ? If he could, it must be on the condition that nothing more extensive in the way of Irish Church Reform should be granted by Lord Grey than that which Lord Stanley before agreed to. But then what be' comes of those other Whig Ministers whose declared dif ference with his Lordship on that occasion, drove him and his four colleagues to resign ? The Irish Church question is not one that can be shirked. It is net one that can be treated as a neutral question—like CV tholic Emancipation—the disgract - of so many Minis ters. Then, let us look at the matter, like men of business, and ask the electors, and those who a re working on them, what is it they want ? If Lord "Stanley were in office, the majority of the old Whig Cabinets An d indeed Lord Grey himself, must quit him, or alter theif, minds, and deserve that bruited name of " renegadoes- If they held their former sentiments, Lord Stanley holding his, there must be a split on one side or the other. Again , Lord Grey, supposing Lord Stanley off, would not tot " without Lord Althorp in the House of Commons," where, the Noble Earl declared him to be the sine qua - non, an d in which House, while the British Monarchy remains' Lord Althorp never more can sit. Does it appear tha t Lord Grey would be more inclined than a higher Person age let it be understood he was, to accept for leaders in the House of Commons any of those gentlemen whom Lora Melbourne mentioned. successively to the Sovereign as substitutes for the present Lord Spencer ? We hardly think it. But further, Lord Grey could not again endure Lord Brougham in the cabinet ; and if' be could, his Ma" jesty would not. Why then we are reduced to the thin and unserviceable staple of the Melbourne Ministry, minu s the ex-Chancellor, whose office would be that of a cracke d trumpet to the ultra-Radicals, swelling the noise, a nd ag gravating "the pressure" from without,—a pressure whic h it woulclbe physically impossible for Lord Melbourne t° withstand for eight-and-forty hours ; and the Radicals reckon on such the weakness of the Noble Lord's positions and would loudly hail his return to the Government, that they might themselves climb in upon his shoulders. There is, to be sure, another alliance, and one more honourable, and to the country far more useful, which would be, and perhaps now is, within the Noble Viscount's power—that is, in union with some of the most respectable of his r ecent,. colleagues, Why not inquire into the feasibility of an alliance with Sir Robert Peel, and on the principles ° constitutional reform There might possibly, on the Iri sh Church question, be less difference between Lord Melbour ne , and Sir R o b er t P ee l th an b e t ween L or d M e lb our ne fin u Lord Stanl e y. W e h azar d th e o pi n i on th a t if ev er th e ultra-Radical pressure is to be effectually resisted, it w ill -a' it must—be by such a union as that which we have n 0; suggested—between the rational and moderate portions o' the Conservatives and the Whigs. We must not conclude without noticing the nomination at Westminster yesterdaP and the entertaining, but not on that account less true or useful, speech of Sir Francis Burdett. It is really fact, tha L l Tories have lately, co noniine, become as scarce as wild beasts in England ; and the inference to be drawn front ,1 is not an unimportant one—viz., th a t th e p r in c ipl e s of o f f ascribed to the Tories, and entertained by them, have °f late become so odious to the nation—so behind the age" - so obsolete—and so inapplicable, that the parties who ones professed them are ashamed of them, and have dropped the together with the name by which they wer e designated- Times.""

DISCOVERY OF THE SKELETON OF A CHILD."-' On Saturday, as some workmen were engaged in excavating, a large piece of waste ground, situated at the back of Jetci c ; son's gun-manufactory, Upper George. street, Edgeware.r o ► they discovered about three feet beneath the surface, and CIO?, to a brick wall, the skeleton of a child, apparently about 1- # years of age, which must, from the appearance of the bone.% have been buried there for several years.
