Gentlemen,—An invitation, as unexpected as it is gratifying, has just been conveyed . to me from a numerous body of electors, to allow myself to be'put in nomination to represent your Riding. :3ly first and overwhelming impression, on receiving such a com ' inunication, has been one of personal unworthiness of such an Honour. Whatever bearing such an admission may have, it is right to confess that, as a man whose property lies out of your county, though for a short time he represented one of your boroughs, and who is unknown by sight to a large proportion of Yorkshirernen. such an offer is calculated to produce feelings, in which gratitude is strongly blended with a disposition to decline the task. Allow me, however, to state to you the circumstances which have counteracted these first impressions. The grounds on which I have come to the decisi9n to comply with the request to become a candi date are, is brier, those which have induced a large body of 'your selves to forget that my property is south and not north of the Humber. I have been asked to stand, and now consent to do so, because, while there are three or four subjects on which I entertain strong opinions, there is another on whi c h my views are so long cherished, and so rmly held, that I hope there is scarcely any sacrifice which I should not feel it my duty to make in order to secure their triumph. The principle of entire freedom of commerce I desire to see carried out laws to its fullest development, incl u di ng a change in our navigation- REPRESENTATION OF THE WEST RIDING. NOMINATION OF MR.

Ten nant, Esq.-, Richard Church, Esq., &c. After a few brief introductory remarks by the CHAIR MAN on the circumstances which had taken place with regard to the representation of the Riding during the last few days, Economy in the public finances I desire to see effected, not so much brpetty reductions in subordinate offices, as by a bold and manly review of the whole principle and details of our present expen diture. The charge on the Exchequer is greater now under a WIVg Government than it was when the Duke of Wellington was in office. I will not presume, in such a hasty address, to say in what exact particulars of our military, naval, and civil services reductions ought to be effected; but of this I am certain, that a searching investiga tion of the whole of these departments is a duty which the distressed condition of the country demands from your representatives. With regard to our representative system, I am grateful for the Reform Aet as far as it goes, and if it had gone as far in practice as its supporters anticipated in theory, I should be reluctant to dis turb a settlement arrived at after severe contests. But I desire to see the principle of the Reform Bill carried out. I wish to see elec tions the real expression of honest public opinion; and I have witnessed so much of corruption an d intimidation that I feel per suaded that we shall never have real representation without the Ballot. To the success of the Ballot I believe large constituencies to be essential ; independently of which reason for extending the suf frage, I have a strong conviction that the wider can be made the basis on which our franchise is founded, consistently with the due. qualification of the voter: the safer-WM tirlitMliorstrifeturn of our. Constitution, and the better will it be able to resist th6sB - atOrms which arc threatening the old despotisms and novel constitutions of the Continent. To these economies and reforms peace is essential. It is scarcely needful to say that both as a politician and as a Christian, I ardently desire, and should strenuously labour for its maintenance. But the point of all others on which I feel it to be my duty to ad dress you, is the subject of further religious endowments by the State. This is the question which alone induces me to re linquish a life of comparative privacy, and to submit to the labours, respmsibilities, and (I may add) privations, of a Par liamentary life. Here I feel that my direct duty to God as a Christian coincides with my lower duty as a politician and as an Englishman. Putting aside for the moment the abstract question of existing religious establigiments, I protest against all new religious endowments; involving as they do the putting of truth and error on the same level, and the establishment of a pro vision for Romanist priests—the offspring of an insidious and un worthy expediency— side by side with Protestant institutions,which, whatever may be their abstract propriety or the contrary, are at all events based upon an acknowledgment of divine truth. To any provision of any sort or kind for the Romish priests, to any transfer of the property of the Irish establishment under any plea, however plausible, to the adherents of Rome, I am conscien tiously, firmly, irrevocably opposed. But while I thus object to the endowment of the religion of my Romanist fellow-countrymen, ,I am bound to add that I also object to the further endowment of Protestantism ; desiring as I do that the civil and religious ri g hts o f one class of religioni s t s i n the State should be as tenderly cherished and as firmly maintained as those of another. plans, which portion of rillway will pass 'from, in, through, or into the several parishes, townships, and extra-parochial places of St. John the Baptist, Hoole, St. Oswald, Great Boughton, Plemstell, otherwise Plemondstall, Gladden Sutton, Mickle Trafford, Barrow', Bridge Trafford, Thornton, otherwise Thornton-in-the-Moors, Dun ham-on-the-Hill, Hapsfoid, Frodsham, and Helsb,y, all in the said county of Chester.

He, therefore, begged to suggest that Mr. Denison, the late Member for the riding, was an eligible candidate to put in nomination in the present emergency. STIES begged to inquire what were Mr. Denison's views with regard to free trade, as upon that would de. pend whether or not he could give him his support. Col. TEMPEST said, that although he had no authority to auswerfor Mr. Denison, he believed.thatle regarded that matter as a settled question, and that he was disposed to give the now system a fair trial. Mr. SYKES intimated that he was satisfied. Some discussion took place upon incidental matters, which resulted in the moving of the following resolution by Col. Tempest:— " That under present circumstances, as respects the representation of the West Riding, it is desirable that some candidate should be selected who will unite the votes of moderate men of all parties, and that for this purpose this meeting thinks Mr. Denison a fit person to be brought forward on this occasion." parishes;town;hips, and extra-parochial places of East:iatn, Chil der Thornton, Little Sutton, Overpool, Whitby, Stoke, Great Stan ney, Stanlow, Ince, Thornton-in-the-Moors otherwise Thornton, Elton, Hapsford, Frotisham, Helsby, and lordship of Fredshain, In the said county of Chester, and for the completion of the works therein. And it is also proposed by the said intended Act to reduce the capital of the said Company, and to to make regulations as regards the division thereof into shares, and the payment of dividends or in- terest thereon. And it is also proposed by the said intended Act to take power to stop up, alter, or divert, whether temporarily or permanently, all such turnpike and other roads and highways, railways, tramways, aqueducts, canals, streams, and rivers, within the aforesaid pa rishes, townships, and extra-parochial or other places, or any of them, as it may be necessary to stop up, alter, or divert, by rea son of the construction of the said railway and works, or any or either of them. The Lion. J. W. SCARLETT seconded the motion, and t was carried without a single dissentient.

DEATH OF SCHWANTHALER, THE Scum•Ton.---We regret to announce the death of the eminent sculptor, Ludwig von Schwanthaler, who expired on the 14th inst., at Munich, in his 47th year. He was buried with great pomp on the 17th inst., thousands attending his funeral. His remains were deposited in the tomb of General Heidegger, where they will remain until the tomb is finished which King Ludwig was causing to be built for him and his friend, the late director Gartner.— Schwanthaler showed at an early age a love for the arts. He was first destined to the study of the sciences, and applied himself, when a boy, to the deepest study of Homer and the Greek tragedians. The death of his father obliged him to take to the business of statuary, a profession which had existed in the family for genera tions, and was that of his father and uncle. In the Academy of Arts, at Munich, Schwanthater did not find that support which he deserved. The di rector, Langer, a pedantic man, considered him too free and independent in his notions • and it was in opposition to that p erson ' s opinions ;hat Schwan thaler followed the lectures on archwology at the Lyceum of Thiersch. The quickness with which he became a proficient in drawing from the antique, and the talent he possessed for composition, are shown by the first great work which he undertook. It was King Maximilian I. who commissioned him to execute a large silver epergne in the midst of a plate or table, with a border of upright figures. This was to be upwards of 100 feet in length, and the figures to be six inches in height. Tho composition of this border was to repre sent the procession of the Gods of Olympus to the pa lace of Jupiter. Schwanthaler began it, but before it was near being completed King Maximilian died. That por tion of it, however, which was finished is described as being very beautiful. King Ludwig and the Duke Max. now extended their patronage to Schwanthaler, who executed for the latter the myth of Bacchus in a series of ,relief compositions for the freize of a room in his pa lace. King Ludwig, however, was his greatest patron, and he executed for the King the statues of painters in the Pinakothek, the protectors of plastic art in the niches of the Glyptothek, the dramatic poets on the staircase of the theatre at Munich, and the compositions for the pediments of the Glyptothek, the ludustre ge baude, and the Walhalla, besides many other relief pieces also at the Glyptothek and in the royal palace. He also modelled many figures which were afterwards reproduced by foundry. A series of statues of Czech heroes and heroines, which he had been commissioned from Bohemia to execute, has been interrupted by his death.

" J. ODIER, "Banker, and Judge of the Tribune of Com merce of the Seine." " TO M. J. ODIER. " Paris, Nov. 22, 1848. " Sir,—You are right when you say that the declara tion which you require from me is contrary to all my habits. My official position may, unknown to you, dimi nish the confidence which you are disposed to place in me. You press me, however, to give an answer. My silence would authorise suspicions which would be far from the truth. It would of itself be a reply to your questions, but a very incorrect and faithless one. Ac cording to you, the policy of General Cavaignac is known. He has given pledges of his love of order, and guarantees of a good and honest government. But some doubt still exists as to his character and his intention. You desire to know how I appre ciate them. I will tell you plainly in few words, and with perfect sincerity. I had directed my atten tion for a long time, in my Parliamentary studies, to those young officers who, on the soil of Atrica, so glo riously sustained the honour of our flag ; pupated by a severe education, tried by the fatigues and varied chances of the military life, I saw them, strangers to our constitutional conflicts, resolutely pursuing the line traced out to them by their duty, and laboriously gain s ing, at the price of their blood, all their grades on the field of battle. I felt that they formed the strongest and most serious part of our generation, and I respected them from the bottom of my heart before I saw them, and without divining that society in France would one day owe to them a debt of gratitude for the repression of ,the most criminal disorders in the terrible days of June. 1 have been for two months in intimate and con tinual relation with one of these officers of Africa, now become chief of the Executive Power. The opinion which I had conceived is now more firm and more fixed. lam not new in the study of men in the direc tion of public affairs, I have been able to see closely, 1 have observed at leisure, for four years past, ell the statesmen of these times; I have known none whose language was more sincere, whose heart was more correct and more disinterested, whose mind was more just and more clear than those of General Cavaignac. I consider him to be the true republican of our times, a republican of wisdom, firmness, and conviction. He has a very decided opinion that the Republic can be founded in France only in the midst of peace. He fears that a war would expose us either to internal convulsions or the domination of victorious generals. Hence his efforts to maintain peace; and he is assisted in this noble enter prise by the confidence which he has been able already to inspire in all the Governments of Europe. Gene ral Cavaignac knows as well as you and me that a Republican Government, like any other, would be impossible in France, unless it should make it an ab solute duty to protect all liberties and energetically maintain public order. He has not, in any respect, or in any degree, those despotic or anarchical ideas which by different modes would alike lead the coun try to ruin. Ho combats both with equal resolution. I am really astonished that his intentions should appear doubtful to those who have seen for five months how he has maintained order under the most difficult circum stance, amid the warm emotions which followed the days of June, and the ardent anxieties which precede the elec tion of the 10th of December. I could not conceive the shadow of a doubt in those who can read at the bottom of his heart. As for me, sir, as you speak of my personal feelings, I am sensible how delicate and difficult would be the position of a Minister under the form of govern ment organized by the constitution. Nevertheless, lam ready to accept it with General Cavaignac, convinced that we should have the same views, and seek to realise them by the same means. lam quite sure that we should neither of us have any other ambition than that of solidly establishing the first founda- tions of the French Republic by an honest, regular, and enlightened Administration; and I venture to believe that we should succeed if the National Assembly should give to us its sovereign support. It is said, I know, that the day after his election General Cavaignac would choose other Ministers than those of the 13th of October last. You will comprehend that Ido not demand from him any engagement on this subject. What I can affirm to you very positively is, that the fears propa gated on this head appear to me unreasonable, and that General Cavaignac will certainly accept, without hesita tion, the Ministers who may be indicated by the majority of the National Assembly. Whoever they may be, they will only have a su re an d honourable part to perform., Placed between those who find our new constitution too democratic, and those who reproach it with not being sufficiently socialist, they will only have to govern in the spirit and according to the dictates of the con stitution. They will leave to others the deplorable courage of dreaming already of overturning it, and of attempting another revolution in an unfortunate country which desires the repose which would render it so fruitful and prosperous. This, sir, is my reply. If it leaves still some doubt on your mind, I am ready to give you all the explanations that you may desire. In such grave circumstances, and in a question on which the future fate of our country is so strongly engaged, I am resolved to exercise, although a Minister, the right possessed by every citizen to express his opinion freely. There was no Bolsa. FEW WORDS ON THE YORK, .NEWCASTLE, AND 13ERWICK RAILWAY STATEMENT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. , numerous are the statements of railway. • companies, and the avidity shown to usher them be fore the public, that it cannot be mu c h ma tt er o f surprise that they are viewed with some degre e o f jealousy, emanating as they do from those w h ose tenure of office, from the difficulty attendant in the , choice of new directors, may be considered as a fixity. Besides, more ample statements of accounts 'have long been asked for by both shareholders /and the press, and not until the managers of railway properly found it depreciated, so as to threaten ifs wry ex istence, have they thought it requisite to give the public any comprehensible statement of their affairs. It is not my intention to occupy much of your valuable columns, but some part of the York, Newcastle, &c., statemeut has struck me as containing assumptions not verifies by previous facts, that if you have space you will bblige me by inserting my observations. The earn ings of the line now open is stated to be 720,0001: per annum ; and supposing the same ration to be upheld when the whole line—say 330 miles—is being worked, it will amount to 880,0001. per annum. The com pany take it at 1,040,0001, or 160,000/. more than %%hey are now proportionately earning. This is a very heavy increase when the competition by the western lines is considered. Next, Sir, the working expeoces. I find the expenditure for the last four half years of tbe Newcastle and Berwick, and under its other cojnomen since its connexion with the Great North of England, has been about 255,0001., upon an earning of less than 645,0001., making about 9 per cent. for expenses—some deductions from this may probably be made, but to the extent assuni ,, - sd by the company is almost impossible, and it i s somo yhat remarkable that although so enormous a reduction ; n working expenses is tak en cre dit f or , no explanation is afforded to the wondering public. Notwithsta mlling the unassailablenes . s of their pro rs think it highly ex p e di en t t o perty the directo possess a further interest in railway s , as th e y acknowledge they have competing companies for the far north traffic at least. Perhaps the Leeds and Thirsk Railway may be too trifling au undertaking to be considered as inter fering with the York and Newcastle lines, but there are men in Leeds who think it will do AO a little. I am, yours, truly, B. E. Nov. 24, 1848. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIE,—Now that the directors of the above railway have issued their financial statement, the public are placed in a position to judge accurately of each de scription of shares. But several of my friends are still under misap prehension as to the relative value of the preference shares and the extensions ; and as some of your readers may also be in this position, 1 shall be obliged by your inserting these few lines. The preference shares are guaranteed 6 per cent. till 1850, when they rate for dividend the ssnie as the old stock, whether it be 7, or 8, or 9 per cent. ; the extension shares now take dividend on the entire amount paid precisely the same as the old stock; so the latter are of greater value than the preference, t t h h e ou s g b h ar m e alinsytsof prove. th 1,0 epublic oo.b are not aware in extensions oefxthi:ass receives exactly the same dividend as 1,0001. laid out in stock. Amidst the wreck of too many railway properties, it will be satisfactory to the shareholders in this line to know that the directors, even in these bad times; show their capability of paying 7 per cent., and hav ing an annual surplus of 76,0001. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Liverpool, Nov. 23, 1848. Z. DEATH OF THE DUCHESS OF MANCHESTEE....-We regret to announce the death of the Duchess of Man chester, who expired on Tuesday last at Kimbolton Castle, the ancestral seat in Huntingdonshire, after a. lingering illness. The Duke and his family, consisting of Viscount Mandeville, Lords Robert and Frederick Montague and Lady Olivia, and the venerable mother of the deceased Duchess, the Lady Olivia Bernard Spar row, were present at the dissolution of the Duchess, an event which had for some weeks past been looked for ward to.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—Last evening, about five o'clock, as a fine boy, named John M'Mullen, six years of age, whose parents reside at No. 8, Willow-gardens, Tabernacle-square, was crossing the road in Tabernacle row, Finsbury, he suddenly stooped down to pick up a piece of stick, and whilst in the act of doing so the wheels of a cart, belonging to a Mr. George Bothwell, passed over him, and so crushed the unfortunate little sufferer's head, that the blood issued in torrents out of his mouth, nose, ears, &c., and on his being conveyed to the shop of Mr. Morgan, druggist, 48, Old-street-road, life was found to be extinct.

More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity Itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable 1 Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple posse'sion of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the tidiest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION, illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa ions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

La'Mert on the Infirmiti n es of Youth and Maturity.---" There are scenes in the d rama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him ! In the book before us such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in tho hands of his boy. By un taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

Well may Mr. Morrison, the Hygeist, infernal poisons as Strychnine, which sends people into the next world even when the dose is no larger than a pin's-head, and leaves no trace behind. Who can be safe whilst this is the case ? Our chemists' shops are filled with these infernal poisons lying about amongst such things as honey, arrow-root, &c., &c. I see the Doctors, through their old friend the "Dispatch," are up in arms against Mr. Morrison, for opening the eyes of the public on this, to them, most important question. s Burke, Hare, Bishop, and Williams murdered people to find bodies for the doctors, who were ready and 'willing purchasers, and now villains are using chloroform (brought in by the doctors) as a means of murdering and robbing people on the highway. This Is what doctors call science! Yours, &c , &c., London, Nov. 23, 1848. A HYGEIST. SURPRISING CURE OF ASTHMA, OF TEN YEARS' STANDING, By DR. LOCOCK ' S 'P ULMONIC WAFERS.

Messrs. S. and B. Solem ons , opticians, have invented Spectacle Lenses, of the greatest transparent power.
