- .~ _ ~~ SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The eagerness of Lord John Russell, Lord Melbourne, and their colleagues, to get into place, which they could not do but by clambering over the shoulders of O'Connell, whose " tail " they grasped to assist their assent, prevented the measures of safe and substantial reform which Sir R. Peel had promised from coming before the country. It is, therefore, in consequence of the factious proceedings of Lord John Russell and his Popish and Radical allies that thi farmers of Devonshire are likely to be a much longer time without relief from tithe, on a sound and equitable principle,than they would otherwise have been. Like the Dis senters, in regard to their marriages, the farmers must have exemplary patience, if they quietly wait for substantial relief from Lord John. To show the nature of the present contest in Devonshire, and the principles which the electors have to combat, need we, say more than state that Mr. Wakley, the ultra-Radical Member for Finsbury, and Dr. Bowring, are in the field as canvassers for the Whig Candidate ? Why is not Mr. O'Connell there to try the effect of skull and cross-bones intimidation ? He reserves that consti tutional mode of enforcing the principle of the Reform Act, as a special blessing to Ireland at present. When the- Papal system becomes stronger in this country, no doubt we shall have its ghostly terrors here also. Until then we trust that the old English attachment which the electors of Devonshire bear to their King, their Church, and their Protestant Constitution, will be too strong for the united efforts of the Destructives. Let the men of Devon not forget that it was on the coast of Devon the standard of the Revolution of 1688 was planted ; that it was there the heroic Prince, who came to de liver this country from the political chains and mental bondage of Popery, first set his foot ; and that at Exeter the Protestant patriots rallied round his banner ; the High Sheriff of the county being one of the first to give the glorious example which led to the overthrow of the Romish Tyrant, the re-establishment of the Constitutional Throne, the restoration of the altars of the reformed faith, and the revival of the lately extinguished liberties of the people. For the principles for which their forefathers then contended, and which were consecrated by the revolution, the men of Devon have now to fight, not indeed with the same weapons, for they are not yet driven, in defence of the institutions of their country to civil war. Their weapons are of political temper, and their battle is a moral one. It is necessary that they should fight this battle well, in order to put down the enemies of the Protestant Constitution, and to prevent the necessity of being driven to a more dreadful struggle hereafter, to preserve the Throne and the religion which are dear to them, and the liberties which their ancestors purchased with their blood.—Morning Herald. The subscription for securing the re-election of Lord John Russell proceeds gloriously. The Westminster Com mittee alone have already received upwards of 2,0001. to aid in securing the Noble Lord's return, and there can be ro doubt: that between the money collected in Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and other plates, the entire amount will be at least 5,0001. This is as it should be. It shows that. Reformers are in earnest, and that they can be as libe ral in a righteous cause as the Tories are in the cause of corruption and misrule. This is fighting the Tories with their own weapons, and without such subscriptions, the opposing parties could not have fought the battle on terms of equality. The Tories arc dismayed at finding Reformers so united, ei:ergetic, and, liberal of their money, and begin to see that their fondly cherished expectation, of defeating Lord John, is but a phantom of their disordered imaginations. Still let no Reformer conclude that the battle has been won while the poll remains open. Let every one put his shoulder to the wheel—let every one act as if the triumph of this, the noblest of causes, depended wholly on his own exertions and vote ; let all the Reformers of Devonshire act thus, and we shall, despite the intimidation, corruption, and other unhal lowed influence of the Tories, have to record one of the most splendid victories which have ever been achieved on behalf of all that is great, and good, and glorious.— Morning Advertiser. Men of Devon !—The King's writ, requiring you to re turn to Parliament a Knight of the shire for the Southern District of your enlightened and populous county, has sum moned you, the electors of that district, to the perform ance of a duty at all times important, but peculiarly preg nant with responsibility amidst the dangers of the crisis at which we are now arrived. The divisional character under which you assemble, as the constituents of only a portion of the ancient shire of Devon, proclaims at once the obligations which you owe to the Reform Bill. By that great measure, more valuable for the power which it has imparted to the people, than all the Charters of our liberties and rights on record, the number of your county representatives has been doubled ; your franchise: have been materially extended ; you have been rescued from the corrupt and despotic control of Government offi cers, of imperious landlords, and of jobbers of every de scription ; your votes are now your own. It will be for you to decide whether they are long to remain so ; or whe ther, like the herds and flocks of your fields, you and your votes are again to be bought and sold by the. enemies of your country. Many of you, who were heretofore without a voice in the representation, are indebted to the Reform Bill for the power which you are now about to exercise ; and your children, to the latest generations, will carve upon your tombs the name of " Traitors," if intimidated by a selfish aristocracy—if, duped by ecclesiastical hypocrites —if, corrupted by a profligate political faction just expelled from office by the House of Commons—you sur render on this occasion the proud possession of your inde pendence. It is, indeed, a privilege of which Englishmen may well be proud, for it places in their bands the real su premacy of the greatest empire on the ,earth. Reflect upon the noble motives of action by which alone you ought now' to be influenced, and go forth to the Contest as men deter mined to defend for themselves and their posterity the glo rious rights they have acquired. Mr. Parker maintains that the resolution of the House of Commons on this sub ject ought to be rescinded—that Clergymen ought to be maintained upon large incomes in parishes where they have only a solitary clerk to listen to their eloquence—that the poor should remain uneducated—that reform of every kind in Church and State should be resisted—that the Pension List should remain untouched—that the tithes should be enforced at the point of the bayonet—that the people of England should be again enslaved by the Tories —that the municipal corporations should still flourish in their enormous corruptions—and above all, that the Reform Bill, the great hope of the empire, should be effaced from the Statute-book. Look at this picture and at that. Choose between one of - the principal authors of the Reform Bill and the man who would repeal it. Choose between a sor did, selfish, hypocritical faction, and a Cabinet of high minded men, who can have no interests in view save those of the whole community. Choose the domination of bi gotry, ignorance, idleness, fraud and foul oppression, or assert for yourselves, your children and your country, the triumph of religious freedom, of education, of industry, honesty, and power truly springing from the people.—Morn ng Chronicle. On Tuesday morning last, a woman, named Lydia Chamberlayne, aged M years, now living in Kingsland-place, in this town, had the full powor of speech returned to her, al though she had been dumb for the last 16 years. On Sunday morning last, while walking in the garden, she felt a severe pain in her chest, she coughed, and threw up a fleshy sub stance of considerable size, and immediately the power of speech was restored to her, to the delight, of course, of herself and her aged father. —Hampshire Telegraph, Yesterday evening, an adjourned inquest was held at the sign of the Greyhound, in Old Ford-lane, Bethnal green, before Mr. Baker, on the remains of Sarah Thorough good, a youn g female of 15 years of age. The deceased, it appeared, had lived for seven or eight weeks since in the ser vice of a grocer, and her death was alleged to have taken place in consepuence of her eating some plums, which were said to have been drugged to cure her of a propensity she had to the use of this fruit. The inquiry was adjourned from Saturday until last evening, to give time for a post mortem examination. This took place, and the three genti,in,n hr-i assisted in the operation declared that there waTnot the slightest appear ance of any thing poisonous in the stomach or intestines, and that the death of the deceased had been caused by severe in flammation, produced by scarlet fever. The Jury returned a verdict of " Natural Death." MURDER.—Mondav and Tuesday se'nnight, an inquest was held on W. Williams, of Tymynydd, in the parish of Llanarthney, who was found on the 4th instant speechless, with part of his clothes off, in a stable belonging to a small farm occupied by one Mr. W. Evans, a quarter of a mile from deceased's house. The poor man, who was an inoffensive character and respected by all who knew him, died the same evening. The jury, after hearing the evidence of two medical gentlemen and several witnesses, returned a verdict of " Wil ful murder against Rachael, wife of the deceased, and William his son." The Coroner issued his warrant accordingly against the mother and son, and they are now both in the county gaol. ---Wekhman. INCENDIARISM.—We regret to have to state that another fire took place at Forthampton, in this county, on Sunday night last, between twelve and one o'clock, by which a cart horse, cart stable, and cowhouses, on a farm in the oc cupation of Mrs. Ann Boulton, and belonging to Joseph Yorke, Esq., were destroyed. It was first discovered by a cottager who lives close by. The incendiary app ears . to have fired the thatched roof of the cart stable, which speedily communicated to the other buildings, and the whole were de stroyed. We deeply deplore making the imputation that some of the labourers, upon being required to render assist ance, either remained in their beds, or were sullen spectators without affording any aid. An examination of three of the suspected parties took place before the Magistrates at Tewks bury on Wednesday last, when the men were discharged.-- Energetic measures are being taken to discover the villains guilty of this un-English dastardly crime. The premises de stryyed are insured in the Protector Fire Office. —Gloucester slarre. Chronicle. CONSISTORY COURT. LAMBERT V. LAMBERT. This case, which has been frequently before the Court in its preliminary stages, was assigned for hearing and sen tence to-day. It was a suit originally promoted by Georgiana C. Lambert, against her husband, for a restitu tion of conjugal rights, which was met by the husband with a plea alleging adultery to have been committed by the wife. Several allegations and responsive pleas have been given in, and Mrs. Lambert recriminated upon her husband. Dr. PHILLIMORE, on behalf of the husband, proceeded to open the case, and stated that the marriage took place in 1829. In August, 1830, Mr. and Mrs. Lambert went to the Continent, and-- Dr. ADDAMS, for Mrs. Latubert, said it was not his in tention to contend that the case was not proved agair.st Mrs. Lambert in the last allegation. Dr. PHILLIMORE said that there was not the least proof that the husband had been guilty of adultery ; and, per haps, the Court would intimate something upon this subject. Dr. LUSHINGTON was clearly of opinion that the adul tery against Mrs. Lambert was proved. The Court had, therefore, to pronounce its sentence in favour of the husband. He pronounced the husband entitled to a divorce.- POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. John Forster, a lad about eighteen years of age, was charged with endeavouring to obtain some silk from Howell and James's, of Regent-street, under false pretences. The prisoner was remanded. .~ THAMES OFFICE. Yesterday John Pindar, the master of the Kent, Gravesend steamer, belonging to the Gravesend and Milton Steam- Packet Company, appeared before Mr. BALLANTINE to answer a summons charging him with illegally navi gating his vessel at a greater rate or speed than five miles an hour between London Bridge and the eastern limits of Limehouse Reach, contrary to the 42d By-law of the Court of Aldermen, made under the provisions of the Waterman's Act, by which be had incurred a penalty not exceeding 51. ' Mr. BALLANTINE said the law intended to limit the speed to five miles an hour only in the pool, and that was speed enough consistent with the public safety between London and Greenwich. He felt bound to convict ; but as ulterior proceedings were intended against Captain Pindai for compensation for the loss of the barge and cargo, he should reduce the fine to 3/., without costs. was; on that account only he did not, as he had hitherto done, in flict the full penalty. THE MURDER AT WOOLWICH. (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) The inquest on the body of the ill-fated woman, Mrs. Elizabeth Browning, was appointed to be held yesterday afternoon ; but after the Coroner had issued his warrant, it was discovered that the Magistrates had committed Carroll to Newgate on the capital charge. On this being known, the inquest was postponed until an order could be obtained to remove the prisoner back to Woolwich, which will be done in the course of to-morrow or next day. During yesterday the excitement continued rather to in crease than to abate among the inhabitants at Woolwich, and the Britannia public-house, which was occupied by the unfortunate woman, and which is situate at the corner of Henry-street and Harrington-row, was visited by a large number of persons. The following are further particulars obtained upon the spot : The deceased had kept the Britannia for the last eight years ; latterly she had been peculiarly unfortunate, inas much as her husband committed suicide, and almost imme• diately afterwards she was plundered of cash and plate to a considerable amount. She has left behind her a daughter, a fine child, of about eight years of age, after whom it is said the prisoner made anxious inquiries on the morn ing of the murder. The deceased had known the pri soner for the last two years, from ' his frequenting her house. On Monday morning, at three o'clock, seven hours before the barbarous act was committed, Carroll broke into an empty house adjoining the Britannia, and from which there was a 'communication by means of a passage, and, having reached the yard, he commenced throwing stones at the windows of the room in which the deceased slept, and broke several squares, at the same time making use of threatening language. Upon being observed he ran into a pig -stye, in the yard, whence be was removed by a constable. Shortly after the commission of the offence, and while Carroll's hands were still wet with the blood of his victim, he deliberately laid hold of a person's beer, and drank freely of it, observing, " I meant to do it." On his way to the cage he remarked to the officers " Ah, poor thin g , I suppose she's dead, I hope not ;" but shortly afterwards he seemed to think differently, and requested one of the officers to go to his quarters, No. 113 room, Ar tillery Barracks, where he would find two gold rings and three gold pins, which he desired might be given to Mrs. Browning. When he arrived at the cage he appeared to be affected, and shed tears. At four o'clock on Monday, he was removed from the cage to the Fairy steam-boat, in custody of Cummins, the constable, amidst the execrations of the crowd, some of whom threw stones at the prisoner. After getting on board Carroll threw himself on a seat, and slept soundly during the greater part of the way to town. In the course of the afternoon he offered his watch to Cor poral Russell, who declined having it, remarking that Car roll had friends in Ireland, to whom he might wish to give it ; when theprisoner replied " No. I don't want my friends to know any thing till after my fate." On reaching the Old Bailey, the prisoner complained of being hungry, and asked for something to eat, when he was allowed to go into the King of Prussia public-house, where he made a hearty meal. Since he has been in custody he has preserved a sullen silence. IRELAND. EXECUTION OF THREE MEN. Outrages of a felonious character having occurred in the eastern parts of this county since the Spring Assizes, pro bably influenced the Government in despatching a special order from the Castle of Dublin, which was received by the High Sheriff on Thursday, directing that the three men under sentence of death for the capital assault on Tha deus R. Ryan, Esq., should be executed at Ulla, in this county, and not at the jail, as mentioned in the original rule of Court. In conformity with this new order, in tended no doubt for the best purposes, to operate as an aw ful example on the minds of the peasantry in the centre of a populous district, on the borders of the counties Limerick and Tipperary, a squadron of the 7th Dragoon Guards left this garrison for Tipperary yesterday morning, and this (Saturday) morning T. P. Vokes, Esq., chief magistrate of police, and W. Smith, Esq., under sheriff, with two companies of the 18th, under Major Doran, and one of the 36th, under Captain Trollope, proceeded from the county jail for Ulla, the scene of execution, a distance of fifteen miles, escorting the following victims to the offended laws of their country :—Mathew Molony, aged 34 ; Da niel Molony, aged 22 ; and Jeremiah O'Donnell, aged 22. They were placed inside jaunting-cars, one in each ve hicle, and attended by three Roman Catholic clergymen to administer spiritual consolation. When the military drew up in front of the prison, before the culprits were brought out, Major Doran gave the order to load with ball cartridge, which was promptly obeyed, and the troops were specially enjoined by the same officer, in case of any obstruction on the route, not to fire a shot without direct commands from himself. The Molonys and O'Donnell carried each a small crucifix in the right hand, and a prayer book in the left. One of the Molonys was an able, clever man, and both were dressed like comfortable farmers. Mathew Malony leaves a wife and two young children. Their appearance and demeanour outside the prison were indicative of resignation and humility ; and when the im posing cavalcade moved on for its fatal destination, their minds were evidently absorbed in prayer, regardless of ex terior objects. The cross of Ulla is considered a great thoroughFc.re, and the procession was met and reinforced this day by the squadron or dr,-.2,-oons from Tipperary and a company of the 18th regiment from the same ton. As they travelled through the country the eyes of the country people at either side of the road were directed with a cu rious and painful interest to the imposing spectacle, and crowds attended to view the execution. The whole mi litary cortege, which formed at the place of execution, comprised two troops of cavalry and four companies of in fantry. The bodies of the culprits are to be given to their relatives and friends. The priests in attendance were the Rev. Messrs. O'Connor, O'Grady, and Quin, of this city.— Limerick Chronicle. CASE OF MR. FORBES.—So strongly were the Jurors impressed with the consciousness that the sentence of extreme punishment which their verdict had rendered it im perative on the learned Judge to pronounce, was more than proportioned to the offence committed, that they actually addressed to Mr. Justice Coleridge a protest against their own verdict The document expressly states that they " were and still are of opinion that the prisoner was guilty of uttering the Bill for 251., which was the subject of the prosecution ; but not with any intention to defraud any one, and that he signed the name of Wm. Prosser as acceptor of the bill, he, the said J. Forbes, believing that he had the authority of the said Wm. Prosser so to do." The protest concludes in these remarkable terms ;—" We further beg to state that we make these statements of our free will and accord, as an act of justice to the prisoner, deeply regretting that he should suffer through our inad ver t ence ." Th e pet i t i on f rom Ch e lt en h am bore tthe signatures of four thousand of the inhabitants. The sentence of transportation will not be carried into effect ; although the punishment for which it will be commuted, must new, in a great measure, depend upon the report of the learned Judge who presided at the trial.—.Cheltenham Journal. '~, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1835. COURT OF ALDERMAN. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of business. Although it was well known that the question of throw ing open the Court was to be taken into consideration, there was by no means a crowded Court during any part of the sitting. MOTION FOR OPENING THE COURT. Sir PETER EAURIE rose for - the purpose of moving the resolution of which he had given notice :—"That this Court do conduct all business in public, except such parts of it as appertain to the police and - conservative. jurisdiction, and things of a personal or local nature which, from their pe culiarity, may require the absence of strangers." He re gretted that there was occasion to bring forward such a motion, after the numerous arguments which had been used to show the propriety of admitting the public to hear matters of a general nature discussed, and he had deter mined to move for the ar3.qption of the principle on which his resolution was founded until Lc should sueceed. It would be seen when the doors of the Court v crc .thrown open, that the suspicions entertained to the prejudice of tlic Court were altogether foundationless, that very little in terest-attached to their proceedings, and that the secrecy was the thing which operated upon the minds of the mul titude, and gave an importance to what happened in that Court, however insignificant it might be. When last he introduced this subject, he was beaten by a majority of one. He trusted that upon the present occasion he should have the victory. _ _ _ Alderman COPELAND seconded the motion. Alderman BROWN strenuously opposed the admission of strangers upon any measure except those in which the Court acted judicially. If they adopted the motion the members would soon perceive the difficulties and inconve niences with which the project was surrounded, and would be very glad to retrace their steps. Mr. Alderman BIRCH had been a member of the Court for twenty-five years, and he was an admirer of old institu tions, whiCh were constructed upon the wisdom and expe rience of our ancestors. The Court was now an open Court upon judicial matters. He trusted that no change would take place in its rules. The LORD MAYOR said that the law officer of the Cor poration ought to be consulted upon the question, whether it was legal in the members of the Court to allow the pub lic to hear the deliberations. Alderman Moe. Wool) did not see why the Court should not be thrown open. One good would certainly be accomplished by such a measure—the public ear would be disabused. The Court then divided, when there appeared for the motion, 8 ; against it 7 ;—majority 1. The following are the names of the Aldermen who voted : For the motion—Aldermen Sir Peter Laurie, Venables, Sir John Key, Copeland, Kelly, Sir Chapman Marshall, Pirie, and Thomas Wood. Against the motion—The 'Lord Mayor, Aldermen Ansley, Scholey, Birch, Lucas, Brown, and Farehrother.. Alderman FAREBROTHER, upon finding that the motion was carried, immediately gave notice of a motion for re scinding it on the next Court day. The RECORDER expressed his opinion that the proceed ings of the Court on one day would not affect the proceed ings upon a succeeding day. From this it is understood that the Court will be closed on the next Court day, at the suggestion of any member who may wish for the exclusion of strangers. ROLLS' COURT. At the sitting of the Court his Honour the Master of the Rolls gave judgment in the following case : THE MONMOUTHSHIRE CANAL COMPANY V. THE SIRHOWY TRAMROAD COMPANY. His HONOUR said that he had looked through the plead ings in this case, and the Act of Parliament which had been referred to. On some points lie entertained no doubt ; but there were parts of the plaintiff's case with respect to which he could not act without a trial at law, and on which he certainly should not grant an injunction. At the same time be could not resist an opportunity being given for trying the plaintiff's right by an action, as that right flowed from a legal title under an Act of Parliament alleged to have been infringed. A long conversation then ensued between his Honour and the Learned Counsel, as to whether it would be better that a case should be sent from this Court to be tried at law, or whether the plaintiff should have liberty to bring an action. After this point had been referred to the Soli citors of both parties, it, was at length determined that the present motion should stand over until after the trial of an action for nominal damages, which-the Court gave the plaintiff liberty to bring ; the damages so to be obtained to be dealt with as this Court should order. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. DAVIS V. LOWNDE6. In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when we went to press, the Grand Jury, after a deliberation of an hour, said, through their foreman, that they had all agreed to enter a recognition for the tenant, Mr. Selby Lowndes. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. BROWN, DANSON, AND CO.'S BANKRUPTCY. A meeting of the creditors of this colonial agency firm was held yesterday for the further proof of debts, and the declaration of the first dividend. The meeting was nume rously attended. Debts were proved_during the day to the amount of about 50,0001. Among the parties who proved were the representatives of the Provincial Bank of Ireland, the Northern and Central Bank of England Company, the North of England Joint Stock Banking Company, the Manchester and Liverpool District Banking Company, &C. The total amount proved against the estate now a mounts to 105,0001. A dividend of 3s. in the pound was entered to be declared. The assets which will become available for future dividends are expected to be large. SHERIFF'S COURT. NUTT V. MUDFORD. - - Mr. PHILLIPS stated that the plaintiff (whom he de scribed as a solicitor at Canterbury, and having the confi dence of the Corporation, who had appointed him the Town Clerk) complained of a series of libels. The de fendant was proprietor of a local paper, called the Kentish Observer. There had lately been an election c ontest, at which the plaintiff held a situation at one of the polling booths. The defendant bad taken advantage of the occa sion of a political contest to charge the plaintiff in his paper with foul and corrupt practices. Now if the allega tions were true, he ought to prove them, in order that the plaintiff might be, as he would deserve to be, deprived of his situation as Town Clerk. On the contrary, the plain tiff had the right of demanding compensation for the injuries inflicted. The Learned Counsel on both sides held a conference, when Mr. ADOLPHUS rose, and said that for one he was old enough to remember the contests which lasted forty days— contests in which Mr. Fox, Sir Cecil Wray, the Duchess of Devonshire, Lady Horton, Mrs. Hobart, &c., nay, even down to the kitchen wench, were libelled ; but they were, as the present, election libels, and were good-humouredly passed by. He was also foolish enough to collect all the squibs and paragraphs of that day, which now formed a large volume in his library, and which were very interest ing. He did not blame the plaintiff for bringing an action to sustain his character, nor did his client wish to defame that character. The fact was, that his offence consisted in having inserted in his paper a letter from the Times news paper, without being aware of the truth or falsehood of its contents. He had no malice or personal animosity towards the plaintiff ; for malies was alien to his mind. The plaintiff had also been charged with obtaining a majority in favour of a certain candidate. This allegation he retracted, and was sorry it had been Used. A verdict with 40s. nominal damages was then taken for the plaintiff. SECONDARIES' OFFICE. WRIT OF DOWER.-bLL.TTER V. SLATTER. Mr. JAMES, the Secondary, told the . - 14,7 that . the case about to be submitted to them was a very unusuakii.e. A writ of dower had been issued, by which the Sheriffs were directed to put a widow into possession of the third part of a freehold property. The property consisted of a house, and it was the duty of the Jury to give to the plaintiff what appeared to them to be an exact third part of the building. He said the present case arose from family jars, and all interference was totally useless. A great crowd assembled in the early part of the day in the office, much curiosity having been excited by a case in which damages were sought to be recovered in consequence of a mistake made in a surgeon's shop, a dose of opium having been given instead of a dose of rhubard. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Charles Phillips were engaged for the plaintiff and defendant, and there were a vast number of witnesses in attendance. The matter, however, was settled out of Court, and a verdict taken for 301., without mention of names. PASSAGE IN SHA KSPEARE CORRECTED.---- " Vaulting ambition that o'erleaps itself," should be " its sell." Sell is saddle, au Spenser, and elsewhere, from the Latin and Italian. This emendation was shown to the late Mr. Hazlitt, an acute man at least, who expressed his convic tion that it was the right reading, and added somewhat more in approbation of it.

They have been presented to the Museum at Rouen. 101 MIMI 1.111. -..r . Y' THE BALLOT. (From a letter to a Morning Paper.) Does it remain yet a question, at this time of day, what is the true theory of popular representation, according to any doctrine of our so lauded constitution, and according to the intention of the. Reform Bill ? Am I allowed to assume it as the theory and intention, that the national constituency shall freely and honestly vote according to their judgment of measures and men ; that, instructed, reasoned with, pleaded with, as much as they please, they shall yet be determined in their choice by nothing but their deliberate approbation ; and that every thing to the con trary of this is, so far, treason against the national polity ? If so, this most important function ought to be guarded with every possible security for its faithful exercise. And I need not ask you whether the present condition of the exercise of what is pretended to be conferred as a right and a privilege, imposing a most serious duty, be not a flagrant mockery. With the venal it is a privileged occa sion of having their country to sell; with the dependent it is a badge of slavery ; with those who are conscientious as well as dependent, it is a painful trial of principle ; all which abuses reached their last excess in the recent elec tion, and are now to have their result in the Legislature. You will surmise that the expedient I have in view is no other than , the ballot. And what other has any man sug g--<•ted, with even an appearance of plausibility ? Those who are not against it unconditionally, and at all events, are saying, " Let no first try everything else." What is it that they have to try ? 14:-..,rs against bribery have no toriously been a dead letter. If an I,l'..ti7ce or two of con viction occur (as recently at Cambridge), it talks us by surprise, as a thing we could not have reckoned on. In cases where everybody knew that bribery had pervaded every street of a town, with a pollution as gross as the stream in its kennels, it has been found impossible to produce that sort of precise and technical proof demanded by legal men, and by members of Parliamentary Committees, some of them, perchance, having reasons of their own for being punc tilious in the admissiOn of evidence. And by what mode of jurisdiction can you contrive to take cognizance of intimida tion, practised by landlords, employers, wealthy customers, clergymen, parish officers, the heads of public offices, and corporation magnates—intimidation often conveyed through hints and inuendos, perfectly intelligible to those who dare not misunderstand them, but so slightly expressed that they would seem to vanish into nothing when attempted to be made the foundation of a criminal charge ? Let us wait in the hope (something to this effect was lately: said by Lord John •Russell)*of the . growth of a more honourable and virtuous feeling, by which influential men will become ashamed of such base practices. But how are you to send them back to pass through a new school of mo rals ? And tell me, if you can, of any incipient symptom of such a change. Which of them is at all ashamed of the recent exploits in this line ? Is any one of them the worse received in the rank of society to which he belongs ? Are not their performances, if they have been successful, a sub ject of complacent and jocular reference in their select co teries ? It is there a good joke how they drove their cattle to the hustings, while some of the Radical creatures were internally grumbling, or even giving vent to their cha grin in impotent mutterings. And who is to teach and exhort them to turn from their bad courses ? Will not many of their spiritual instructors (if accounts be true) have cause to be very lenient in their reprehensions? Even. Lord John Russell himself was evidently very sceptical as to any such progress to honour and honesty ; and, pressed by the evidence that, instead of an abatement, there is an aggravation of the evil, acknowledged that we may at last be driven to the Ballot. As no other expedient in a tangi ble form is proposed from any quarter, we are left to the alternative of resorting to this, or of surrendering the grand palladium, as it has been• called, of our popular rights and liberties to a malignant agency, which essentially vitiates, and will not cease to vitiate, our Legislature and legislation. Yes, this is the alternative. We are brought to the plain question whether we be, as the constitutional doctrine pre tends, or be not, to have an actual faithful representation ? If this be not an idle theoretical fancy, but a practicable thing, to which we have a right that ought to be maintained, we must maintain it by the means by which alone we can maintain it. As being our sole resource, the expedient is necessarily the right one, whatever evils of its own it may involve. You deny the right itself, if you deny the right of using the only effectual means for our possession of it. You treat us with the ludicrous and spiteful absurdity of first appointing an institution for the public welfare, essen tial, all-important, you proclaim, for good government, and then telling us that, nevertheless, the only means for mak ing it effectual are worse than leaving it to be frustrated. It is a capitally contrived machine, only it cannot be worked so as to effect its purpose, without the applica tion of an implement that will make it scatter mis chief all around it. But better send it to the lumber room at once, if it cannot effect the good it is intended for without a balance, or- over-balance, of damage from the only mode of working by which it can effect that good. Why continue working it in a manner which, while it causes much greater damage another way, doei or not, but very partially, effect the intended - good ? We do not deny that evils of very considerable amount would attend the Ballot, especially in the earlier stages of the practice : but if we account them such that we must reject it, though we have no other way of obtaining an approximation to the faithful action of the representative principle, we plainly say that we forego that pretended essential requisite to good government, and submit to be misrepresented, to a great and pernicious extent, in the Legislature. And so we must sit down in helpless resignation, till the stars shall be more auspicious ; till unprincipled wealth and arrogance shall spontaneously cease to bribe and threaten, or our universal constituency shall rise to such a pitch of virtue and courage as to reject the offered purchase-money, and defy at every hazard the menaced revenge. A goodly prospect ; and a short interval for the exercise of our patience under a per verted legislation !—a legislation which may, meanwhile, create for our posterity also abundant occasion for the ex ercise of their patience, in addition to that load of debt which preceding Parliaments, convened under a imp sham of re presentation, have entailed on us and them.—l am, &c. AN INDEPENDENT. ELECTOR. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of yesterday.) SUGAR.—The demand for West India Sugar was very lan guid all the last week, the estimated purchases were only about 1,600 hhds. and trs., there was no further reduction in the prices, and on Friday the request rather appeared to revive; there was more business done on that day than on any day previously in the week. The demand for good West India Sugar continues, hilt there is little offering in the market. The sales this day are estimated, with the Barbadoes public sale, at 800 hhds. and trs. ; the latter went off freely at full market rates. The prices generally, rather higher than on Fri day. The stock of West India is now 10,598 hhds. and trs., being 4,370 more than last year. The stock of Mauritius 116,119 bags, being 36,270 more than last year. The de livery of West India 2,002 hhds. and trs., being 716 more than last year. The delivery of Mauritius 8,913 bags, being 1,403 less than the corresponding week of 1834. In Refined there was little variation last week, the chief purchases were at 745. 3d. for Prussia, the grocers for the home supply, bought on a limited scale. This afternoon the Refined market is rather higher, and the goods still more scarce, the sales of fine crashed 335. 6d., and the holders asking 345., and at the long price 745. 6d., sales and the holders asking 755. MAURITIUS.—The public sale on Thursday last week 7,040 bags Mauritius went off a shade lower. The two public sales this day consisted of 6,794 bags Mauritius Sugar ; they were chiefly of low descriptions, and a few suitable for Refining. The latter went off with briskness, and generally the prices are a shade higher : grey, 51s. a 535. 6d. ; yellow, 525. 6d. a 555. No fine yellow. EAST INDlA.—There were few sales of East India Sugar last week, but the few lots sold went off at full market rates. FOREIGN.—There were no sales of Foreign Sugar worth re porting last week. The only private contract reported this afternoon, is a small parcel of white Havannah Sugar at 335. Average price of Sugar 1/. 9s. gid. per cwt. TEA.—The public sale of 18,000 chests advertised for yes terday, did not take place, there are a few sales of Bohea Tea of the last East India House sale reported at a discount of 3d. a sd. per lb., but only small parcels for immediate consump tion, as the discount on the sale may be stated at an average of Bd. per lb. The trade still wait the other public sales ad vertised for this week. Delivery of Bohea last week, one quarter' chests 371, one-half ditto 61, large ditto 66; total de livery 340,972 lb. COFFEE.—The prices of Foreign Coffee fell about 2s. last week, 500 bags good ord. Brazil sold 495. a 51s. 6d., Mocha fell in the same proportion, considerable sales were reported at 70s. 6d. a 71s. 6d. for fair quality. There weiv no parcels of British Plantation Coffee brought forward, they remained nominally the same, and very few parcels offered by private contract. There were no public sales this day. The Market for Foreign and East India Coffee is excessively heavy, there is r.n British Plantation offering for sale. At a late hour this aitc.;:. - ,•on a small parcel of coloury Brazil Coffee sold at 525. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The Rum market is firm, the arrivals this year will be late, and it is generally believed that the export orders are conbiL , r-tble, but that they are not executed, as the buyers expect lower rrL a when the usual arrivals take place. The repeated accounts of the ir . frry to the vines in France have occasioned a firmer market, and enabled the holders to effect several sales, but they are on a limited scale, as the trade have little confidence in the reports. Geneva still languid, pale about 25., parcels put on board at 2s. 3d. per gallon. Rice.—The East India Rice at this market is unsaleable, stocks are about 120,000 bags against 46,000 bags last year. TALLow.—The prices of Tallow continue steadily advancing, the extensive Russian houses continue large buyers both here and at Petersburgh, they have taken all the contracts that offered for forward delivery at 38s. IRISH PROVISIONS.—The unusually cold weather has caused a great demand for old Irish Butter, but should the weather bel. come mild, foreign alone will be wanted for the trade of London and the country round. - The shippers of B ac on still continue firm to the prices lately demanded. And as the cheesemongers are not holders of their usual stock at this season of the year, we think prices, landed, must improve. Waterford Bacon, landed, 345. a 375. fin shipment 365. a 38s. Lard landed 48s. a 495., on board 469. 6d. per cwt. Our Stocks and Deliveries are estimated as follows BUTTER. BACON. Stock. Delivery. Stocks. Delivery. 1834 22,000 firks 3,615 firks 15,800 bales 2,900 bales 1835 10,700 3,640 24,600 2,690 sa The Imports of Butter are Irish 346 firks., Foreign 3 , 619 cks. ; Bacon 7,489 bales. SILK.-There is no alteration in Silk, but there has bee n rather more business doing at steady prices. A report has been in circulation of injury done to the Mulberry trees 10 Italy by frost, but it is so common at this season of the Year that no importance is attached to it, but it has taken place cer• tainly to some extent, as the vines are also considerably affected: INDIGO.-There was more appearance of business last vice! in Indigo, and the deliveries for home consumption this Month were estimated at above 2,000 chests, but the accounts ,Iyes terday from Calcutta were unfavourable, and again sustai n a suspension of trade ; the quantity that had come ,d o t 9ll , te Calcutta 58,000 maunds, and the prices 30 to 35 rupees , than last year. The statements from Bordeaux had occasione a very dull trade; sales were impossible to be effected.
