LITERATURE. PLEBEIANS AND PATRICIANS. 3 Vo's. Smith. Lbitdon. 1835. There is considerable liveliness of narration in these I : ( llUmes,•whose story gallops on, without either let or kodrance, with all the speed of a racer. The author evidently a practiced hand at works of fiction, and he do not possess much.profoundness of thought, or Sk ill in the discrimination of character, has at least the Power of - furnishing amusem'nt to his readers by the ' 1 7riety o f hi s i nc i dents, and the ease an d f ree d om o f Style. There are many allusions to the Factory oYstein scattered throughout the volumes, which de serve praise for the shrewdness and liberality that sug gested tl - gemi and one scene, that of the attack and con f!agra`.:ion of Mr. Manford's cotton-mill, by a party of 1117. guided rioters, : under the command of one Orator 4 41pson, the most naturally drawn personage in the though only given, as it were, in outline, shows shat the author, when he pleases, can describe with 'vivid energy. We subjoin a specimen of his style, Which has both grace ,and feeling to recommend it : „ " The mind of childhood,-however, may be likened to le half-opened sun-flower ; when the rain beats, and the st e'u is abroad this shuts its calyx, shrowds its unripe flo- I ' l eta fTorn the passing danger, and hides its brilliant colours ; sooner -is the eye of day' unobscurcd by cloud' or drift, than one by one its leafy coverings are raised, till the w hole of its. glittering beauties .are exposed. Thus it is with childh oo d,— w h en it s yO un m spirit has been cowed, and its scnsibiltties Checked and crushed, all its loveliness is buried and lost to 'the eye. But they are not the less in exis tence, and arc waiting only for the magic touch of kindness, to burst their cerement of coldness, and lay bare fold after f old' the very soul of their beauty and their love."

BRUSSELS, DEC. 6.--The day before yesterday the Kin:. came to the city, at four o'clock, transacted Lusine:s wit! the Minister of f.e Interior, and gave a final audience tc Count Baillet, on the eve of his departure for Berlin, as Minister Plenipotentiary. In the evening the King tran- , sacted business with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The English residing at Brussels will to-morrow give a grand dinner to Sir George Hamilton, who has for four years been Secretary of Legation or Charge d'Affaires at this Court, and is now going to Berlin. The Senate is convoked for Monday, the 21st inst. We lately mentioned that Messrs. Vifquin, Nocl, and , Demoor, had gone to Paris, to confer with the French engineers on the direction of the rail-road from that city to Brussels. We now learn that the preparatory measures for this vast enterprise commenced near this city. It ap pears to be decided that it shall commence between the Anderlicht and Hal Gates, beyond the bridge over the Senne, as you come from the first of these gates.—Brussels Papers, Dec. 7. RoME, Nov. 7.—The differences . with the Court of Brazil, which had assumed so serious a character that a schism was to be apprehended, appears to be as good as done away with by an amicable .agreement.—Frankfifft Paper, Dec. 3. ROME, Nov. 12.—According to the convention between the Papal Government and that of. France, the French troops are to leave Ancona as soon as their presence shall no longer be necessary for the safety of the State , and their removal is required by our Government. If we may be lieve the, reports that are in circulation, this moment seems to be now arrived, for it is affirmed that the requisite steps have already been taken ; and that if all should prove favourable, their departure will take place by the end of this month. General Cerbiercs, it is said, is to prepare every thing by that, and a French squadron will convey the garrison to the place of its new destination, which is said to be Algiers. Its presence in Ancona, which was a great advantage to the inhabitants in a pecuniary point of view, will, on the whole, leave an agreeable impression behind, as they have observed the strictest discipline. At the time of their corning (Feb. 23, 1832), nobody thought that this occupation would terminate so peaceably, and diplornag . has obtained a i7Tetort over clamour, which has bitEerto secured the peace of Europe. • Both sides part as friends, and the Papal See has another powerful ally in France. The English Government has sent orders to have a large man-of-war in readiness to convey the King of Bavaria from Ancona to Greece.

The Gazette of the Ist contains the follow ing letter from Goa, which gives a fearful description of the state of affairs in that settlement : " You must have heard of the occurrences here, and of the declaration of the Fort of Tyracol in favour of the Pre fect. The unfortunate defenders of the Fort, seeing no assistance, which they expected by the arrival of the expe dition, defended themselves with great courage against the troops that went from Goa to attack the Fort, headed by the Military Govemor. After some hard fighting, and no impression having been made by the troops on the Fort, the Military Governor ordered a retreat, but soon there after, finding the expedition bad not arrived, and knowing that the besieged had little or no powder or provisions he sent an intimation to these unfortunate men to sur render, - promising them their lives. Under this assurance they surrendered, when the troops entered into the fort, and slew the first four of the leaders of the prisoners on the spot. Other three of the leaders were seized. Two of them were spared, through the intercession of Colonel A. Lopes, while the leaders of the rebels disputed as to the manner in which the third (a Mr. Rocha) should be dis posed of. Colonel Lopes was anxious that his life, as well as the lives of all should be spared, on account of the pledge given before they had surrendered. M. Atmarama voted that Rocha should be skinned alive, when Fortunato de Mello, coming up at the time, and taking a musket from a soldier who stood near him, shot Rocha through the body, saying " These doubts end thus"—thus violating the faith of a soldier, and butchering in cold blood one of the principal inhabitants of Goa. The person who bore the flag of truce to the besieged, and pledged the honour of the Government for their safety, was promoted to the rank of ensign for his . dexterity in duping them. All the private soldiers found within he Fort were put to death. The heads of these men were borne in triumph along the road to and through the streets of Goa, and afterwards sent to their wives and families that they might kiss and curse the traitors ! and to make the example more signal, the head of each individual was stuck on the top of a post in front of the house wherein his family resided I" Advice§ received from Canton to the 6th July state that the GoveinnrTindlay-lißd.ratatgned. fa.Lintitdeam the-east coast, with the adventurous party which left Canton in the attempt to penetrate to the Bohea hills of Fuhkun. They had, however, failed in their attempt, having been, while in the Min river, attacked from both banks by a fire of match locks 'and several guns, which destroyed the gunwale of the boat, and wounded Mr. Gordon's (the head of the expedi tion) servant, and one of the boat's crew. A British float ing hospital was about to be established at Whampoa for the reception of any of his Majesty's subjects, either seamen or others, who needed medical care and relief. The com mercial intelligence conveyed by these advices state that the stock of cotton was much reduced, and did not exceed' 31,000 bales. The purchasers of European piece goods, in consequence of the late arrivals from England , and the fear of the market being overstocked, had observed caution, but still there was some inquiry for white cloth. For cotton yarn the demand was daily improving, the supply being very moderate. Woollens were dull sale. In the export market, very little raw Nankin silk could be procured, and very high prices were demanded. Syccee silver was at present more plentiful. The stock of tea was reduced to a very small quantity, and very little choice was offered for sale. No alteration had taken place in the exchange either upon England or India. = - ELECTION OF ALDERMEN. BASSISHAW WARDS Yesterday the polling commenced at half-past ten, and concluded at three, at which hour the numbers were, for White, 35 ; for Tegg, 24. Several of the votes were dis puted, and one was lost because the voter, being a Dissen ter, did not pay the church-rate, but got over the obliga tion-by an arrangement. Although the numbers arc so decidedly in favour of White, the other candidde calcu lates upon the majority of good votes, and it is believed that a scrutiny will certainly take place. ALDGATE WARD. Yesterday a Wardtnote was held at Wheeler's Sale Rooms, in Leadenhall-street, at three o'clock, for the elec- . tion, according to the terms of the precept, of a fit and proper person, to be Alderman of the said Ward, in the room and stead of John Thomas Thorp, Esq., deceased, David Salomons, Esq., returned to the Court of Mayor and Alderman of the said Ward, baying omitted and neglected to make and subscribe the declaration directed . to be made and subscribed by an Act of Parliament made and passed in the 9th .year of his late Majesty. King George the Fourth, intituled " An Act for repealing so much of several Acts as imposes the necessity of receiving the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper," as a qualification for certain offices and employments in manner in the said Act mentioned, by reason whereof the election of the said David Salomons has, by virtue of the said Act, become void. Mr. SIMPSON proposed John Humphrey, Esq., for the office. . . ......,..... Mr. GREEN seconded the nomination. The LORD MAYOR then asked if there was any other candidate ? . Mr. SALOMONS having addressed the meeting, Mr. MAYHEW gave in a written protest against the elee tion in consequence of informality in the notices from the Lord Mayor, and insufficient time. The LORD MAYOR then put the question, and the ma jority of those assembled held up their hands for Mr. Humphrey : several, however, held up their hands against him. The LORD MAYOR tlicn declared John Humphrey, Esq., citizen and tallow-chandler, duly elected. Mr. HUMPHREY then returned thanks. Mr. SALoMoNs proposed a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor. Mr. MAYHEW seconded the motion, which was carried with the warmest manifestations of sincerity. The LORD MAYOR briefly returned thanks, and dissolved the wardmote. SUDDEN. DEATH OF CAPTAIN HEATHER, OF the NORA CREINA STEAMER.—YOStCYcIay morning, about nine o'clock, an awful instance of sudden death occurred on board the Glasgow steamer from Cork, which arrived off the , St. Katharine Docks on the previous evening. Cap tain Heather of the Nora Creina steamer, which was also on the Cork station, went on board tho Glasgow, shortly afrer she was at her moorings, to communicate with the "Captain of that vessel on some business ; and, in order to facilitate matters, Capt. Heather agreed to spend the even , ing and sleep on board the Glasgow. The following morn ing he was missed, and a diligant inquiry was instituted, when he was discovered lying in the water-closet, and appa rently quite dead, though the body was yet warm. A surgeon was instantly sent for, and a vein was opened, but with no effect, for it was soon ascertained that the vital spark had already departed. The body was then conveyed in a shell to the Cock and. Lion public-house, off the Docks, there to await the result of a Coroner'sinquest. • THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBEft, 9, 1535. POOLE.

The question of who are really entitled to vote in this place under the Municipal Reform Act -is now decided. Messrs. Hayward and Graves having just concluded their labours as revising barristers, and the lists of electors as settled by them is so decidedly in favour of the Reformers, that there can no longer be the shadow of 'doubt as to their succeeding in returning a very large majority of their candidates. This, to every person at all a cquainted with the principles of the individuals composing the new list of 'Bur gesses, is a fact too obvious to be for a moment doubted. Were any proof of the desperate state of Tory politics in this place required, it. would only be necessary to refer t c the circumstance of the recent mortgages of our old Tory Corporation property, together with the sale (only this week) of the Corporation plate, maces, &c. &c., their ob ject being evidently, by an unwarrantable expenditure of their funds, to embarrass their new Town Council, and by rendering a borough-rate inevitable, endeavour to throw odium on their successors ; but the people of Poole are aware of their tricks and designs. Now; with respect to the election of Members of Par liament, some time since a statement appeared in the Times, and was from thence copied into other more consistent papers, giving the town of Poole as one of a list with nu merous other places which at any ensuing election will cease to return Reform members to Parliament. So far from this being the case, the Reformers of Poole are in reality much stronger 'on the present registration than they have ever been in any previous year since the .passing of the Reform Act. Thus stand the facts :—in the - first election under the Reform Act, the Reformers of Poole returned their candidate, Sir John Byng, by a majority of fifteen. At the general election the beginning of the pre sent year, the Reform candidates were Sir John Byng, and, our prescnt excellent representative, Mr. Tulk, when the ReforMers 'again succeeded in driving their opponents; Messrs. Irving and Bonner, from the field, at the close of the first day's poll, and owing to their resignation of course only part of the electors polled ; but the Dorset County Chronicle (the Tory organ of. this part of the country) as sured its friends that had the Tory candidates continued the poll to the last, the majority against them would have been reduced to twelve or fourteen. Again, in May last, owing to Sir John . .Byng's being created Baron Stafford, a vacancy again occurred, when the Reformers brought for ward the Hon.. Geo. Byng, who was opposed by Lieut.- General Sir Charles Grant ; the Reformers, after every elector who could by any inducement be inveigled to come forwiard, again triumphed by a majority of• twenty-five. Since that time we have had a new registration, on which, after deducting deaths and removals, &c., and adding the new votes on both sides, allowing the Tories two or three doubtful votes added, the Reformers gain twelve, making a certain majority fbr the Reformers, should a contest take place during the operation of the present Registry, of thirty seven. To myself the object of the Tories, in the false hoods put forward as to their increased strength, is obvious. At each of the preceding contests they have had considera ble difficulty in finding a candidate, which difficulty is-likely to be increased after each succeeding defeat. Thus their only hope of obtaining another dupe, with money for them to spend for their own party purposes, is by putting forth statements really void of truth. I trust, Sir, you will excuse the liberty I have taken in writing you so long a letter on a subject, relating only to our local politics, and believe me to be, Your constant Reader, December 5, 1835. D. T. THEATRE ROYAL, DUBLIN. Last evening the performances commenced with Shaks- I peare's tragedy of Hamlet, to, we are glad to say, a very crowded house. The part of Hamlet by Mr. Kean. What associations this name calls to our remembrance ; yet, though we cannot forget the enthusiasm—the ecstatic joy we often experienced in witnessing the representation of this, one of the most difficult of Shakspeare's tragedies, we must, in justice to our own feelings, confess that the son is, in many instances, the living image of his father's genius ; and in the representation of this character as much surpassing his contemporaries as it was his father's lot . to soar above those who flourished in his day. It were ; in deed, useless to deny that young Kean is now the best Hamlet on the British stage. It has not, we regret to add, bean his good fortune to meet with that support which it was his father's lot to command, simply because he is set down as a mere copyist. If Mr. Kean, in studying his fatheN favourite character, recollects the gews with which be was 4vont .to - charm am414444e, surely no one can attach any great blame to him in plucking the fairest flower from his fame. It is folly to assert that he is a copyist. No man can be an imitator of genius without suffering from the comparison ; and we can safely assert that if Mr. C. Kean has by possibility been an imitator of his lamented father, he has, instead of taking from, added to the lustre which adorns his me mory.—Freeman's Journal, Dec. 4. [lt is pleasing to see young Kean and young Mathews follow so meritoriously in the footsteps of their fathers. If here were a few more such, the stage would be "itself again !"]—En. SUN.

The Commissioners of Woods and Forests have employed several men in widening the bridge over the sewer near Sloane•square, to make the King's road more comman ding for his Majesty's accommodation, as •it is his Majesty's intention to go by that road to and from Windsor, on his taking possession of the New Palace. The course of exchange at New York on London, is 109/ per Cent., and the pir of Exchange between Eng land• and America being 1)9 23-40 per cent. , it fo l low s that the exchange is 7-10 per mat, against England. sum, of nearly 15,0001., is divided among various attorneys, who are employed in establishing claims or objections, and a further expense is saddled on the counties for various extravagant charges in preparing aml printing lists of voterF.

The Vexation to which individualS i•:_re liable is also a great grievance. Why shoUld any distinction be observed be-' tween the 10/. and the scot-an 1-lot voters as to_tbe time of paying the rates ? or why make . the.payment of rates and taxes a qualification at all ? The preparation and manage . - ment of the lists should be transferred Nat the overseer to some permanent officer, such as the. GUrlc of the Peace, with a liMitation of ,charge. • By extatitling the time for revising the lists, there need not be if Arge a number of registering Barristers.—NorthaniMon Oronick.

From the nightly overflow at thes - sVictoria Theatre> since the production of the new splendid spectacle of the Jewess, we are led to the conviction - that the public as duly appreciate. its, merits as we and our contemporaries have already-done, in giving our. unqualiaed: !need of approval of its-'pre-eminent attraction, _and we think great-credit is really due to the Tequestriao manager, Mr. Meredith, for the introduction of iris beautiful Stud of horses ; the sym metry of the noble animals, and their- excellent training, excite, in a pre-eminent degree, the admiration_ of the audience, and contribute very materially to' the effect of the piece, -'which, we anticipate, will, as it deserves, have a long and'!Snecessful:run.

POLITICAL PROSPECTS.—It is, we believe, beyond all question that a dissolution would add upwards of 68 to 70 votes to the Ministerial majority. Even in Ireland an addition could be made, reckoning some places now repre sented by Whigs as doubtful. What thinks the reader of two Whigs even for - - Donegal ? The thing requires, we are told by persons of the best local information, only an effort, and the effort would assuredly be made if there were a dissolution. The. addition which it is-supposed practicable to make to the present Irish represenCives of the Liberal, interests is at least five, reckoning, as we said before, some Places now represented by Whigs as- doubtful.—Dublin. Morning Register. We find the subjoined paragraph in a contemporary, of the correctness of which, however, we are unable to satisfy our readers There is not now the slightest doubt, as to Mr. Thomas Gill, the driver of the mail cart between Salisbury and Warminster, becoming possessed of the immense property of the late Jahn Angell, Esq , of Crowhurst.

The vacant chair pf Second Professor of Theology in St. Mary's College at St. Andrews . , has been bestowed on the Rev. Thomas Jackson, of Edinburgh. INCREASE OF CRIME.—We observe by the Essex papers that horse and sheep stealing appears to be still on the increase in that county. A desperate gang of horse stealers were convicted at the adjourned Sessions held at Chelmsford on the Ist instant ; their names are John Wicker, Thomas Page, and John Rennington. They were found guilty of having stolen seven horses from va rious parts of the county, and they confessed to a system of depredation of the most extensive magnitude—having acknowledged to hate stolen no fewer than fifteen horses, besides a great deal of other valuable property in this and the adjoining counties. Great praise is due to the county officers, through whose instrumentality they were detected. - Henry Rolfe, and Robert Warrior, were also convicted at - the same sessions of sheep-stealing. These five prison ers were sentenced to transportation for life. AssociatiOns now so loudly called for, are about being formed in various parts of the county. Amongst others we observe there was a highly respectable meeting of the gentlemen and yeomen of the Romford district, held at the White Horse, Chadweil-heath, on Thursday last, Major Anderson, one of the county Magistrates, in the chair, when a Society was formed " for the preservation of property and the prosecu tion of felons." Nearly forty of the persons present en rolled themselves as members. Rules were agreed to, and a liberal scale of rewards offered on the conviction of offenders. NORTH RIDING.—There is an, increase on the register this year of 2,325 votes. The number last year was 9,545 ; tl e present 11,870. A public dinner will be given at Stockton, on the 18th instant., to the Members for the southern division of Durham, by their friends and constituents.

Tyn A NNY (IRELAND.) —In the County of Carlow a despotism is practised without a parallel, except in the darker pages of Irish history.

SIR FR -,...a tS LIMO' --'''' .• - r ~. .„. . - --- ..... : _t.. 1....'! ,- .• '4,::„..... , 151 is L'). - kiir To the EDITOR of the MORNING eIIIZONILE. S:r,—Having been much blamed for sending my lettei, addressed to the Members of llrookes's to the Tines, and A.t.nge inferences having been drawn therefrom, such as • I never could have believed possible, I take the liberty of sending this to you, and of requesting that you Al have the *goodness to publish it without (:.day, an I also to transmit a copy to the Times—you will thereby very much oblige me. I have just read a quotation from a paper called the Ob strcer, stating, or rather mis-stating, mistakenly too, I be hive, many passages of my public life, upon which the writer, with- Much intended severity comments. There is- only one, however, as it appears to me, that is not so 01 v:ously . erroneous, and been 1,0 often corrected, con .ich the si:.t . ng chiefly of false inferences and uurandid opinions, ri:ther than matters of fact, that they hardly are wr.r thy of rotlce. There is one circumstance , howevel; wa writer in the Observer asserts as a fact, and whi.ch, if it were so, would occasion me the deepest regret. I therefore call upon him to produce his proof. The assertion'is, that I made use of some insulting terms relating to Mr. Cant:ing a mother, just before being sent to the Tower, and that on coming out Mr.- Canning required, and received from me, am ample apology. Now, I firmly believe there is not the• slightest truth in this statement. I eo not rely on my memory when I say this, but on my rrinciples and feelings, which never, I think, would • have allowed me to be guilty of so unjustifiable an act. What it was that provoked Mr. Canning's anger, az , alluded to, I am really unable to call to my recolle6tion ; but tlw, impression on my mind is, that it was something that .took place during my imprisonment in the King'sßench. 'That eve: was .the cause of the ' altercation between us, I aan Safely say, that so far as it was a personal concern, nry conduct stands clear, without the possibility of ,imputation or - reproach. Upon -receiving Mr. Canning's letter pro posing a meeting, I wrote an answer accepting it. I then sent for Mr. Douglas Kinnaird, as honcurable and spirited a man as any in England, and as fit Ls any in England to decide upon the point at issue between' me and Mr. Can mpg. I'plaeed myself in his hands—his honotrK mid chit ter were as-njtielL implicated in the transaction as my own, and I - Was bound to libide by his decision lien it. I flatter myself, therefore, tiffit -as far ..as this- was a per sonal concern, I may challenge the most,illibcral minds, and the - most rancorous enmity to deny that my conduct in , the transaction was correct, - or to insinuate that there was the slightest ground for censure. I trust, therefore, that the writer of the Observer will either produce - his proof or acknowledge his error. . • I. remain, Sir, your most obedient Servant, St. Leonard's Dee. 6. : FRANCIS BURDETT. SIR FRANCIS BURDETT. MEETING OF THE WESTMINSTER ELECTORS. Yesterday - evening, at 8 o'clock, a numerous and highly respectable Meeting of the electors of Westminster was held at the British Hotel, .Cockspur-street, for the pur pose of deciding upon the question whether any and what measures should he taken upon Sir Francis Burdett's letter to the members of Brookes's Club. Mr. DE VERE was unanimously called to the Chair. Mr. POUNCEY did not agree with Sir Francis in think ing that his letter was fraefrom political considerations. If the worthy Baronet had addressed his letter merely to the Members of the Club, he (Mr. P ) thought that.the elec tors would have had no right to interfere. 'But the cir cumstance of his having sent it for publication to the.daily papers rendered it quite imperative for the electors to ex press their opinion in regard to it.. But the object of Sir. Francis was political, and was greatly calculated to retard Mr. O'Connell in the course he was now pursuin g , in en deavouring to procure - re dress for the wron g s of Ireland. Mr. Pouncey then moved a resolution, expressive of the approbation of the Meeting of conduct of the present Ministry in relation to Ireland. This resolution was seconded by Mr. NORMAN. Mr. Pao&T was of 'opinitin that the letter in question was written for the purpose of breaking up the Minis terial, phalanx, and procuring the re-admission of the Tories to power. If not, it was evident be was a tool in the hands of the Tories. He (Mr. Prout) had hopes of Sir Francis at one time—now he had none ; he was irrecoverable, and past redemption. Mr. Prout then pro posed an amendment upon Mr. Pouncey's motion, which was adopted at a subsequent period of the meeting. Mr. FEARON seconded Mr. Front's resolution. Of late years there seemed to be a great change in Sir Francis's views of polities. The latter which he had written was evidently not penned in a hurry, but With great care and coolness ; and was directly calculated to destroy the princi ples for which Sir Francis contended. Mr. O'Connell was an instrument of unparalleled power ; and absolutely necessary to the existence of the present Ministry: While in the Tower, - Sir Francis, in his address to the people of. England, st , 4eLtlutt„...the libertieseof the coun try had been sacrificed between two thieves—the Whigs and the Tories.—(Great laughter.) But his conduct at that time was a sad contrast to what it has been since. Mr. Fearon then concluded his speech by some remarks upon the disingenuousness of Sir Francis's allusions in the end of the letter to Mr. O'Connell's religious observances, and handed to Mr. Prout a motion which he had drawn up, and which was passed at a subsequent period of the meeting. A GENTLEMAN stated his opinion that Mr. Pouncey's resolution might, with great propriety, follow in order. Mr: MientE thought that the letter . in question formed matter of serious consideration for the electors. In it he had deprecated Mr. O'Connell's mission to the north: of England and Scotland. He thought that if he deserved well of the country it was for that mission. Ile was of opinion the letter should be noticed in some more perma nent way, and thought a public meeting should be called to take the sense of the electors of Westminster. Sir Francis would then have an opportunity, if he chose, of explaining his conduct. A GENTLEMAN present said that the letter in question was not deserving of such notice. He thought Sir Francis was no longer fit to be their representative. He had, in deed, supported him at the late election, but God knew it was much against his conscience.—(Laughter.) Mr. KEMP said that the change in Sir Francis's opinions was all owing' to Mr. George Sinclair, the Member for Caithness, who was his bosom friend, and who had led him away. He was happy to think, however, the Caithness electors had made provision for turning him out at the next election.—(Laughter.) Mr. FEARON then put the -following . resolution :—" That whilst we bear in grateful remembrance the past long and important services of Sir Francis Burdett, we feel called upon to disclose our regret, astonishment, and utter dis approval of his recent letter to Brookes's Club, in relation to Mr. O'Connell ; a publication, as it appears to us, alike uncalled for and disingenuous, and looking at the peculiar circumstance of the times, and the parties in the State, a letter of unmixed evil from the aid which it is calculated to give to a faction, which, now as ever, is arranged in active and. bitter hostility against the rights and liberties of the British people." This resolution was seconded, and on being put, was car ried unanimously. Mr. Paoug. then proposed the following resolution : " That the meeting, nearly all of whom supported Sir Francis Burdett in the last election, being fully persuaded that the said letter has totally failed in its object, abstain from calling .a general meeting of the constituency upon this subject. But they cannot contemplate his conduct, with out expressing great pain and indignation ; for if, upon this occasion, he hate not suffered himself to become the dupe of a faction whose pernicious contrivances he has often ex posed to public scorn, it followS that he must have become an apostate to that cause which lie taught us to revere. So that in one case he exhibits an imbecility of mind and purpose, or in the other a corrupt. intention, either of which unfits him for a representative of the City of West minster." This resolution was also seconded, put, and carried. Mr. P6UNCEY then proposed the following resolution : ". That this. meeting have viewed with warm approbation the policy adopted by the present Administration towards Ireland, in the hope that the disgrace which attaches to England for the injuries which she has inflicted may be thereby removed, and the speedy tranquillity and eventual prosperity of Ireland may be firmly established." This resolution was also seconded, put, and carried. A GENTLEMAN then proposed that the present meeting should paSs a resolution, expressive of their determination to oppose Sir Francis in ease of his again offering himself for the reWsentation. On being put by the Chairman, it was carried on a show of hands. - The thanks of the meeting were then given to the Chair man, and the meeting broke up. We have seen a loiter from Washington, which states it to be in the contemp l a tion of some 'of the leading men in Congress to bring in a Bill to allow a drawback on all merchandise sent by inland communication to our colo nies, and that the consequence will be the chief supply of Upper Canada by way of New York, to the material in jury of our shipping and carrying trade. It has been sug gested, in order to prevent. this result, that the St. Law rence should. be thrown open to all shipping and all trade, and to facilitate all improvements of internal navigation that would bring by the St. Lawrence the growing trade of the west. It c:amot be doubted that the state of the Canadas, the differences existing between the Upper and Lower Province, form a serious impediment to many salu tary measures which might be adopted for the benefit-of our trade in that quarter. Very serious consideration will be required, however; before such important changes can with safety be adopted. .~tjlf~j'~'lß 20y r ,..e n A tt- Q) fc- 7 47,--:-1 , :1 - - --, ' ,. ,7 - -;A'''' . 4 4 -4)... , :- - " -. - c - I' ;N 'CA , -X.c . .;k:ft.Y.,:-.ti r \'") r—) ~ ' , .::1.‘ -- 1 sc-7ff-t;-:4 )t, - :` rs4l f.. %.;- k ..

EARL DE . GREY.--When the father of this Nobleman was elevated to the Peerage, King George 111. made some difficulty as to . the amount of his property, which was in his opinion too small for the maintenance of his rank. The present Earl is already a wealthy Peer, and will ultimately be among the w ealthiest of his order. His Lordship succeeded to the titles and estates of the venerable Countess de Grey, and he was also heir to the bulk of the vast possessions of Mrs. Lawrence, of Studley Park, in Yorkshire. Lord Hathcrton and, the Bishop of Exeter, who were some years ago. nominated by the late Earl Dudley, will continue in the administration of the vast estates of the deceased Nobleman until the coming of age of the young heir the Hon. Wm. Ward; son of the Rev. Lord Ward. The splendid mansion in Arlington-street, in which the late lamented Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury re sided, is one of the most capacious in London. -By her Ladyship's death it devolves to her son, the present Marquis, with the addition of several thousand pounds per annum, which were in settlement on the Dowager Marchioness by her late husband, many yearS Lord Chamberlain, raid friend of King George 111.
