-** S '`N‘ , ~.....'''*,. jeen disfranchised—( Hear, and laughter)—not from any act of his own—not even of omission, for he had complied with all the provisions of the Reform Bill, and had voted at the first contested election after its passing, for that ve nerable champion of their rights, Colonel Gore Langton, to do which he was carried from a sick bed to the hustings. No ; the overseer of his parish had forgotten to put—not his (Colonel Napier's), but his own name at the foot of the paper purporting to be a list of the voters in the dis trict ; and the Revising Barrister had consequently not only disfranchised him, but all the parish !—(Loud laugh ter.) Now, these Barristers cost the people about 50,0001. a-year ; and as he had never yet heard that they took any extraordinary pains to seek out coy and reluctant voters, he " 1 '94 'ratified to sarstkat.the- - rra fzn i..e peofetrpaY them when an " unwashed partisan —to use a Tory phrase—could do the work at half the cost ; more especially when all he had to do to disfranchise a parish was, not to make a stroke with his pen, but to make no stroke at all.—(Loud cheers and laughter) ? The Greek philosopher Plato had defined man to be an unplumed biped ; he hoped he might, without offence, just for the sake of il lustration, be allowed to designate an overseer a brib eable biped.—(Laughter.) If he were, might not any body of men, with a great object in view, and plenty of money— the Carlton Club for instance—be pleased to bribe the bipeds until they had disfranchised all the Liberal voters.— (Cheers)? And might not the Liberal interest go on bribing in all the Tory counties until they arrived at the very happy conclusion of having no voters at all?—(Great cheering and laughter.) He might be told that this was an extreme case ; but in East Somerset alone no fewer than twenty-eight parishes had been already disfranchised on a similar ground, not through the bribery of the overseer, but owing to his negligence. He mentioned this, to show them bow much they had yet to do to carry out reform in their own way ; and to give weight to his advice, that while they were true to the men who had been true to them, they would be true to themselves.—(Cheers.) There was another great ques tion with which Reform was intimately connected—he meant the Church of Ireland. In other matters the axiom was, that the few should give way for the benefit of the many ; in this case it seemed to be reversed—the principle ap peared to be, that the many should suffer and starve, to support the few in idleness.—(Lo&l cheers.) Yes, the ministers of a Christian church in Ireland revelled in the wealth wrung from a starving people, while the doctrines of the religion they professed to teach taught them that po verty best befitted their holy calling.—(Cheers.) The clergy asked the people what business they had to interfere with their spiritual concerns ? Let the people ask the clergy whether they had not interfered with their temporal concerns ?—(Cheers.) Did they not meet with them at every corner—artisans, magistrates, sportsmen, courtiers, besetting the ears of Royalty, always sounding the trumpet of war, and never whispering the notes of peace ? Was not " Church and State" a connection of their own forming— was it not their delight, their watchword, and their care ? Had they not adored it far more than they ever adored their God ?—(Great cheering.) In England the people wanted a zealous, pious, and useful clergy—not State-fed dignita ries, in purple and fine linen. And while they would have this in England, they would not have in Ireland savage men calling themselves the most holy, who, amidst the moaning of bereaved mothers, and the shrieks of wailin g infants, grasped their beloved tithes with their bloody hands.— They would have no Orange domination--(Loud cheers, and cries of " Never.") They would not have William IV. deposed because he had passed the Reform Bill. They would not have the succession to the Crown changed—no not even for a Grand Master.—(Loud cheers.) They would have equal laws for poor and rich. They would not have the Dorsetshire labourers sent to Botany Bay, while Princes of the Blood Royal only went to Kalisch.— (Tremendous cheering.) And that they might have all this constitutionally, they would have a shortening of the duration of Parliaments, an extension of the suffrage, and vote by ballot.—(Loud and prolonged cheering.) But the ballot was un-English. Was it? Its object was to protect the poor and humble man, in the exercise of his right, against the rich and proud. Was that un-English If it were, it followed, as a matter of course, that to be a proud oppressor, to be wicked as well as wealthy, to trample on all the just rights of your country and your neighbour; and to make a man dishonest because he was poor, was per fectly English. Could a greater libel on the national cha racter be coneei - Jed, or could it be necessary to pursue the disgusting absurdity further ?—(Cheers, and" No.") Well, then, English or un-English, they would have the ballot— and what was more, they would have a strong infusion of Democracy into the Comtitntion—they would have a House of Lords amenable to the wishes and feelings of the people at large—they would have that, or they would have no House of Lords at all.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) Now, he knew he might be told here, that a Noble Lord—one of the heads of their own party, and a Minister of State—of whose company that day they had been disappointed, de. precated such language as this, and was opposed to all "or ganic changes."—(Cheers ;' a voice, " Never mind that.") If that Noble Lord had been present, he (Colonel Na pier) had intended to ask him what greater organic change could be imagined than the establishment of such a doctrine as this for the people of England ? —(Hear, hear, hear.) " You cannot hate Reform, you cannot have change, you cannot have improvement, because one hundred and seventy Lords have set their faces against all change."—(Cheers.) T}iis would be, indeed, an organic change—a change from light and life to darkness and death. —(Cheers.) He was about to speak somewhat irreverently of these Lords—he might do so still, it was impossible to say—but before he proceeded further, he must exempt one man, whom he should be the basest and meanest of human beings if, to gain any temporary popularity, be sought to depreciate, for an instant—a man of whom be never spoke but with feelings of reverence and esteem, not for his poli tics, but his heroic actions—he meant his old General, the Duke of Wellington. He had seen him in the field, wise, able, enduring, and brave ; he had seen him leading on the . armies of England from victory to victory, more like a god than a man. He bad no hesitation in saying, that however gallant, however brave, however invincible the English ar mies were in the Peninsula, they owed at least as much to the Duke of Wellington as he owed to them. But because he (Colonel Napier) said this, did he call upon the meeting to submit to his politics? No ; he was there that night for no other purpose than to call upon them to oppose them. Let them, however, meet him as honest and true hearted Englishmen ; not by insulting him, not by depre ciating his talents, but telling him foot to foot and face to face that he was in the wrong course ; and that if he pur sued it, be would make the people his enemies. Let them say, " Duke of Wellington, conqueror in Spain, conqueror in France, conqueror in Portugal, conqueror in India, conqueror at Waterloo—you shall not be a conqueror in England !"—(Tremendous cheers.) But to return to the 170 Lords : let him ask the meeting what were they that they were to be treated with so much deference ? Were they wiser or more patriotic than their neighbours ?—(Cheers.) What were they but servants—upper servants if the meeting pleased—to be treated with all respect when they did their duty, but when they turned upon those they ought to serve, to be rebuked, and reminded for their edification that Eng land once did very well without Lords, and might do so again ? And if this lesson—and a mild one he called it, considering the great wrongs they had offered to the people—failed, they must be sent to learn in affliction the lesson they had despised in prosperity—namely, that their titles, honours, wealth, and station, were not of their own, but the people's production.—(Loud cheers.) Let them convince their representatives that night, that in their honest and zealous endeavours in the people's cause, the electors of Bath were ready to support them to the utmost. Thus encouraged, he had no doubt they would gain for them the object of all their wishes—a really free and equitable constitution ; not the constitu tion which held forth the cup of liberty in one hand, and the cup of religion in the other ; and when the poor man came to taste, filled the one with despotism, and tinged the other with blood, and, amidst the brutal cheers of his heartless oppressors, dashed it from his lips.— (Cheers.) Among poor men he included the helpless, de fenceless, and injured negro, for whose freedom and happi: ness Lord Stanley, with his usual statesman-like policy and foresight, had made the people pay twenty millions sterling, and who was, after all, about as happy and free as the chained dog at the heels of a malignant master.—(Cheers.) Considering this as a political dinner, got up for political purposes, he had expressed his opinions thus openly, and at this length, preferring rather to be in bad taste than in bad politics. He would only now thank the meeting for the honour they had done him, and the patience and attention with which they had heard him, expressing the delight with which he looked around him, and hoping th e i r M em b ers might meet them, and they their Members, until the hair on all their heads grew as grey as his own. The Gallant Colonel resumed his seat amidst protracted cheering, which was renewed again and again. The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The healths of Gene ral Palmer and Mr. Roebuck, the liberal and independent Members for the City"--(Great cheering)—and in doing so he could not help congratulating the large body of elec tors who had assembled on that occasion upon the fact, that they had now two firm and steady and unflinching Re formers as their representatives.—(Cheers.) General PALMER, who was very cordially received, re turned thanks in a very few words. He had never before had an opportunity of meeting so large a body of his con stituents upon any similar occasion, and he hoped it would be unnecessary for him to state that he felt deeply grateful for the compliment they had paid him. After alluding to seve ral of the contested elections which had taken place in that tle Gallant Officer observed, that although looking at the interests of the city itself, he could wish that his Hon. Colleague (Mr. Roebuck) had become the represen tative of another place ; yet, in electing that Hon. Gentle- 1. ``~ man to advocate and defend their interests in Parliament, the constituency had, undoubtedly, done honour to them selves, and were entitled to the thanks of every Reformer throughout the country—(Cheers)—for although he and his Hon. Colleague might differ in feelings and opinions upon certain topics, he was still firmly convinced that a more honest or honourable man, or a more firm, more con sistent, more active, more efficient, - and more indefatigable friend to the cause of the people than Mr. Roebuck never was returned to Parliament.—(Cheers.) Mr. ROEBUCK next rose, and was received with great enthusiasm. He assured the company that he returned thanks for the honour done him as sincerely as it had been enthusiastically conftßeclimin ri ii—sl - Oe'"esssan ofiligTre;ent visit, was riot merely grAeful to him but cheering ; he said cheering, because to perform the duty which he had per formed, something was necessary to 'support him in the arduous contest which he had deemed it right to carry on in the name of his constituents.—(Cheers.) He went into the House of Commons not attaching himself to either of the parties which were then dominant in the kingdom ; he attached himself neither unto Tory nor unto Whig, but he was the sworn servant of the people.—(Cheers.) Though that might be a popular office in the city of Bath, where he had to exercise the duties thereof, it was not a popular office ; for even in the reformed House of Commons, sorry was he to say it, he found that a majority of the members of which it was composed, were not the friends of the peo ple.—(Cheers.) He found, indeed, a majority in favour of certain reforms, just enough for certain political purposes, but not enough to suit him (Mr. Roebuck)—(Cheers) — not enough to suit them, the constituency of Bath ; just enough to gain places and power for certain purposes, but not enough to gain good government for all.--(Cheers.) Therefore it was that he required to have a firm heart and undaunted spirit, for there was something overpowering and overwhelming in the opinions of the men by whom one was surrounded ; and if those opinions were adverse to one's own, no matter how hostile or insigni ficant they might be, still it required a brave man to stand against them.—(Cheers). The manner of his re ception, therefore, amongst his constituency, was cheering unto him ; and it would still further stimulate him to per severe in the course upon which he had entered, and which, as a free representative of the people, he felt bound to . porsue.—(Cheers.) Notwithstanding all that had been done in the course of the last few years, it might still be said that, as yet, they were upon the very threshold ; and yet at that very time they were told that they were to make no further organic changes. Would any man of common sense, looking at the situation of the country at the present moment, pretend to say that no further changes were necessary ? He openly avowed that his object was, by a series of further and greater changes than any which had yet been adopted, to destroy the dominant power of any section or party, and to place the Government and the country entirely in the hands of the people.—(Cheers.) That was the great object which he had in view ; and he did not hesitate to declare that he never would rest satis fied until they had placed the whole of the political power of the country in the hands of the nation.—(Cheers.) What step had they made towards the attainment of that end.? They had certainly done something in Reforming the House of Commons, that was to say, they had sent a small minority into it in favour of the people.—(Cheers.) There was nobody there before, except perhaps two or three, who might be called the advocates of the people— there was now undoubtedly a small party who were the bona fide representatives of the people.—(Hear, hear.) But they had nothing approaching to a majority yet ; and, to use a new word which had recently come much into use, there could be no finality till the people had obtained a ma jority of actual representatives.—(Cheers.) As yet, then, they had not even obtained a thorough reform in Parlia ment ; but independently of Parliamentary Reform, they wanted a reformed lav,s—a reformed Church, a reformed magistracy, and a thoroughly reformed system of municipal corporations. More than that, nothing had been done to amend the county administration—and, worse than all, Ireland still festered at the side of England with all her ills and grievances unredressed. In the midst of such a state of things, would any one turn round and tell him that the partial measures of reform which had been adopted were final, and that the course of improvement was to proceed no further ?—(Cheers.) He repeated, that as yet they were but at the very threshold of reform • and whilst they continued in that position he would never rest until he, had obtained a Government which entirely emanated from the people, and was entirely responsible to the people.—(Cheers.) With respect to the House of Lords, he for one believed that the existence of that as sembly, as at present constituted, namely, possessing poli tical power wholly independent of the people, was neither less nor more than a downright nuisance —(Cheers)—which for the public good it was necessary should be abated. Then the question arose, as to the manner in which it should be got,rid of. Now, as far as he was concerned, he must say "thache had always been an advocate for simple machinery. He looked upon Government as a machine, and with the view of rendering it as simple, and efficient as possible, he would have but one House of Legislation.—(Hear, hear.) It; to gratify the feelings and prejudices of the people, it were necessary that they should have the toy, the plaything called a House of Lords, he should be quite willing to allow it to remain with all its existing pomp and state, after it had been effectually deprived of the power of doing mischief.—(Cheers.) He had made that state ment, because he wished to learn what lis constituents felt and thought upon the subject. Their opinion would not necessarily govern his ; but if it coincided with his own, it would give him strength to bring forward his plan, and to press it upon the adoption of the Legislature. The Honourable Gentleman then went into a statement of the treatment which the Municipal Corporations Reform Bill had received in the House of Lords, after it had been unanimously adopted by the House of Commons. It was the power which the Lords had exercised on that occasion, that he was anxious to take away from them, and his plan of doing so was a very simple one. He proposed that if they should ever again treat a Bill as they had treated the Municipal Reform Bill, all that should be required from the House of Commons should be to re-pass the measure in the shape in which they had formerly agreed to it, and then, without further ado, it should become the law of the laud.— (Cheers.) It would be said that this would be giving an overwhelming influence to the democratic party, and that the popular voice would have too much" power. But this was merely a misunderstanding, or an abuse of terms. He had always observed, indeed, that there were no such anar chists as those who were eternally protesting against anarchy. Such was the fact at the present moment, when those who claimed to themselves almost an absolute monopoly of loyalty, who professed to believe in the indefeasible and divine right of kings, were endeavouring to alter the line of succession, and to embroil the country in civil war.—(Cheers.) The 'Hon. Gentleman proceeded to contend that if the House of Lords were deprived of political power, all the popular ex citement which for some years past had agitated the coun try, would at one subside ; peace and quiet would be restored, and men of high and enlightened talent, whose energies hitherto had been directed to the all-absorbing subject of politics, would transfer their attention and their labour to the advancement of science and knowledge, from the progress of which every nation in every age had derived the highest and most immediate advantage.— (Cheers.) They were not met there that day to bandy compliments ; they were met for the purpose of giving ex pression to their opinions. Others met for the same pur pose. They often heard of Tory meetings and Whig meet:. ings. Now they had at that moment a Radical meeting. —(Cheers.) And from what had taken place that evening, ,as well as on former occasions, he thought it might be said that there was at least one assembly in Bath fully prepared to go the length which he and his friends had pointed out. —(Cheers.) Having repeated his thanks for the honour conferred upon him, the Hon. Gentlems ;-st down amidst the loudest cheers. The CHAIRMAN, next proposed - " The health of Mr. Hume, the Friend of Economy, and fearless foe or Orange Lodges."—(Great cheering.) Mr. HUME, in returning thanks, said, it was most gra tifying to him to find that the gentleman whom he had re commended to the Constituency of Bath some years ago, had attained to so high a place in their estimation.— (Cheers.) Mr. Roebuck, indeed, was in every respect de serving of the high confidence which they reposed in him, and, as long as they continued their support of him, would no do doubt remain a stanch and determined advocate of their interests.—(Hear, hear.) Twenty years ago, who would have believed it possible that such a meeting as that which had then assembled could take place in the' city of Bath ?—(Cheers.) That such a meeting could now so readily be obtained, spoke volumes as to the advance of liberal and enlightened opinions, and afforded a convincing proof that Lord John Russell was completely mistaken, when he said that further organic changes could not and ought not be adopted.—(Loud cheers.) The Tories, stronger, more powerful, and more influential, than Lord John Russell, had often declared that certain de struction must follow the Catholic Emancipation Bill, the Bill for the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, and other measures of a like character. Yet those very measures had subsequently been carried into effect by the very parties who had denounced them ; and instead of mischief or destruction, were found to be productive of nothing but good.—(Cheers.) In obtaining those measures, however, which he thought would conduce to the public benefit and the improvement of the people, he was not at all of Mr. Roebuck's opinion, that it was necessary to pull down the House of Peers. He owned that he was for King, Lords, and Commons, each estate of course being strictly confined within its own prescribed legitimate sphere.—(Hear, hear.) But he would give the people the right of government, be cause he looked upon government as originally instituted for the benefit of the people, the King and Lords being only ~~ ''~~ THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 18:35 the instruments to carry it into effect.—(Cheers.) The King was responsible ; the House of Commons was responsible ; why then should not the Lords be made responsible ? (Cheers.) Was it consistent with the spirit of the constitu tion that they should remain irresponsible ? He thought not. They had been told by Lord John Russell that such an or ganic change as the imposition of responsibility upon the Peers would endanger the stability of the monarchy. When the Noble Lord made that assertion, be (Mr. Hume) main tained that he took a narrow and mistaken view of the sub ject.—(Cheers.) In the nineteenth century it was impossible that the Lords could long remain an irresponsiblq, 1 - ' (Cli , !er_t) ..zn lt s ,, , ,x . absurd anc , llif.'l: is. could i toe ' S - taYer; h t.:, brie - people would be satisfied with the partial measures they had only as yet received.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Hume) quarrelled with the House of Lords as at present consti tuted in more ways than one. He quarrelled with them as a court of justice. An appeal to the House of Lords was a gross mockery. By whom was it heard ? By the Lord Chancellor, who had previously determined the case ; by a bishop, probably reading p, novel ; and by a peer sleeping on one of the benches.—(Laughter and cheers.) This was only a true picture, and one which did not unfrequently oc cur. It was time that such a mockery should be abolished. —(Clieers.) The misrule of the Tories for the long period they were in office, had placed almost every department of the State in a situation requiring reform—(Cheers) —and he held that he was the true friend of the people, and of the ' King, when he said that extensive reforms in those depart ments must soon be carried into effect. Commending the electors of Bath for the excellent example they had set in returning two Liberal Members to Parliament, and exhort ing them to continue in a course which they bad commenced with so much honour to themselves, the Hon. Gentleman concluded by expressing his heartfelt thanks for the honour conferred upon him in drinking his health. Several other toasts were drunk, and the hilarity of the evening was continued till a late hour. Esq.; Thomas Higgins Burne, of Loynton-hall, Esq.; Thos. Salt, of Weeping-cross, Esq.

Yesterday being the morrow of St. Martin's, a meeting of the Lords of the Treasury was held in the Court of Exche quer, when the names of the gentlemen eligible to serve the office of Sheriff for the ensuing year were put in nominatiou The Lords of the Council present were the Chancellor of the Exchequer (in his state robes of office), the Marquis of Lans downe, Lord President; Lord Abinger, the Master of the Rolls, the Vice-Chancellor, the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and the Right Hon. Baron Parke. The Judges were also in attendance. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had previously taken the oaths of office in the Baron's private room, entered the Court first, and called on the different Counsel to move. This ceremony was necessary to mature his qualification to preside as Chief of the Court. . The other Privy Councillors and the Judges having taken their seats, the usual oaths were administered in Norman French. Their Lordships then proceeded to nominate different gen tlemen to be placed on the roll as eligible to serve the office of Sheriff. _ _ _ BERKSHIRE.—Upon the names of Mr. Pusey and Mr. B. Harcourt being proposed to be placed on the roll, Mr. Justice Parke observed that the former Gentleman was a Member of Parliament, and was therefore ineligible ; and the latter gen tleman would not possess a sufficient qualification until the demise of his mother. The objections were held good, and the roll was accordingly amended. CORNWALL.—Mr. Baron Gurney proposed that the name of Arthur Kelly, Esq. should be added to the list for the above county. The Learned Baron said, that although Mr. Kelly possessed but small property in Cornwall, he held estates to the value of 3,0001. per annum in Devonshire, and was anxious to serve the office of Sheriff for the former, and not the last mentioned county, which was agreed to. On the names of Lords Eliot and Boscawcn being proposed to be added to the roll, they were objected to on the ground that neither of them, in their own right, possess a sufficient qualification. DEVONSHIRE.—Upon the name of a gentleman being pro posed, Mr. Justice Parke observed, that although the indivi dual in question was possessed of a very large estate, yet upon his succeeding to it, it was so heavily incumbered with mort gages as to leave him without any property, and a period of ten years would elapse before those ineumbrances could be cleared away ; the name was accordingly expunged. Upon the name of Mr. Nation being given, Mr. Justice Parke said Mr. Nation pleaded an exemption, on the ground of being Chairman of the Quarter Sessions. Now he thought such a gentleman would be of great use and service, by filling the office of sheriff.— Mr. Baron Gurney said--;My brother Coleridge informs me that Mr. Nation is one of six chairmen, and therefore I think the Bench of Magistrates can dispense with his services for one year, especially as Mr. Nation was passed over last year.— The Court inquired if there were any other names?—One of the Learned Judges replied in the affirmative ; and observed, the gentleman who made the return complained that several gentlemen, whose station in life enabled them to fill the office of high sheriff held commissions in the Militia ; and although they never purchased accoutrements or a horse for that pur. pose, they pleaded their exemption.—The whole of the ex emptiims were held good. • GLOUCESTERSHIRE.—Sir M. 11. H. Peache, Bart., was exempted, the Hon. Baronet having written to Lord Denman, stating he was in the militia. HERTFORDSHIRE.—Mr. Justice Parke said William Franks, Esq., was unable to serve the office for want of the proper qualification. KENT.—Mr. Baron Parke said he had received a letter from Lord Wynford, informing him that Wm. Wells, Esq., was too ill to serve the office of sheriff for the next year.— The .Marquis of Lansdowne : I have also received a letter to the same effect.—Objection allowed. LINCOLNSIIIRE.—Mr. Chapman was exempted on the ground of being perpetual Chairman of the Quarter Sessions. Sussex.—Mr. Davies Gilbert, the President of the Roy al Society, was exempted on account of his advanced age. WILTSHIRE.—.Mr. Pollen was exempted, he being one of the Six Clerks in Chancery. Several other gentlemen were exempted from serving for Essex, Leicestershire, Southampton, and Surrey, on the ground of their being Members of Parliament; and their Lordships retired from the Court in the same order as they entered. Mr. Greville attended as Clerk of the Council.

VICTORIA. . „ The announcement of the :representation of a comedy, The Wonder, and that comedy, one of true legitimate growth—one of the " olden time,"—was an attraction last night which we could not easily overcome, although our perigrinations to the Surrey side of the Thames were powerfully opposed by a " strong nor-wester," which was revelling at the time with the most perfect impunity. However, our efforts to reach the Victoria were not ill re paid ; indeed, did we witness frequent specimens .of, 'such performance, red fire and ribaldry would be at a iriaterial discount, and the audiences of this theatre become some thing like the elite of the more classic mansion of old Drury. Mr. G. Jones sustained the part of Don Felix in a very respectable manner, and we experienced much gratification in seing him adopt this range of character. The transfer from tragedy to this style of acting was conspicuously in his favour, and his reception was very enthusiastic. Colonel Briton requires the best of acting to keep up with the spi rit of its rich and racy temperament, and Mr. J. N. Hicks is not exactly what we term " the " Colonel Briton. A Mr. Shields sustained Don Pedro with ability. The loquacious Lissardo of Mr. W. West was felicitous. The house was crowded to excess. ROYAL PAVILION. Mrs. Honey has transferred her services and attractions to this house, and is drawing immensely. On Tuesday she appeared as Moonbeam in the Guardian Sylph, and as Mrs. Belmont in the Mazurka, in both of which characters she experienced the warmest testimonies of approbation. Her imitations in the latter piece of Mademoiselle Grisi, Mrs. Waylett, Mrs. Yates, and though last, not least, Mr. H. Phillips, were given with infinite gusto and effect, and pro duced immoderate tokens of the gratification they afforded. A new melodrama, called Ellen Foster, from the pen of Thomson, the successful author of John Stajford, Ben Block, &c. &c., was performed on Monday, and was equally fortunate with this rising dramatist's former productions. This piece can neither boast of any gorgeous display of decorations, the auxiliary aid of splendid scenery, nor the numerous cast of its characters, and is therefore entirely de pendent on the interest of the story, the exertions of the performers, and the spirit of the dialogue for the hold it takes upon the sensibility of the audience, and it seems that the circumstance should be mentioned by way of a hint to other playwrights. It was in 1824 that the meeting was held in the Freemason's Tavern to subscribe for a monument to Watt —that monument, which was lately erected in Westmin ster Abbey, with an inscription from the pen of Lord Brougham. The principal s p ea k ers on the occas i on were Lord Liverpool (who took the Chair), Mr. Peel, Mr. Huskisson, Sir Humphry Davy, Mr. Wilberforce, Sir James Mackintosh, and Mr. Brougham—all of whom, with two exceptions, are now among the dead themselves. The exceptions, Mr. Peel and Mr. Brougham, have each since occupied two of the highest offices in the State. CONSERVATISM IN SCOTLAND.—The municipal elections throughout Scotland have, so far as we have been able to ascertain, terminated on the whole most fa vourably for the friends of the Church. Everywhere the Conservative party have been met by a firm and active coalition of Whigs and Voluntaries ; yet they have ge nerally triumphed in despite of the utmost efforts of the Liberals. At our own doors several stanch Conservative' have taken the place of so many Whigs. In Glasgow we believe that some changes of the same kind have oc curred ; and in Cupar and other pl aces t h e C onservat i ves have carried the elections by'a great majority. We must say, however, that the triumph of the Church would have been much more decisive if the friends of the Establish ment bad been more united and industrious. The result, however, very plainly shows that reaction is rapidly taking effect even in the most Radical burghs of Scotland.—.l 7 ,din. b urg h E ve ning Post. - COU CULAR.

The nomination of Sheriffs for next year took place yes terday (the morrow of St. Martin), in the Court of Ex- chequer. The Chancellor of the Exchequer presided, in his robes of office : the other Privy Councillors present, were the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord A binger, the Master of the Rolls, the Vice-Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, and Mr. Baron Parke. Their Lordships having been sworn, the nominated roll of last year was read over. On each county being named, the Judges of the Courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer, proposed to their Lordships the name of a gentleman to add to the list, in lieu of the present Sheriff ; and at the same time stated any objections of parties placed on the roll last year, and applying to be excused ; in the cases where 'the name was struck off, a second or third name was proposed by the. Judges, three gentlemen being nominated for each county. In one county complaint was made to the Judge on that Circuit of the difficulty expe rienced by the High Sheriff in procuring eligible names, owing to so many gentlemen purchasing commissions in the militia, and thus rendering themselves exempt. All the English counties were arranged with the excep tion of Lancashire. Mr. C. Greville was the Clerk of the Council in Waiting. The Earl of Minto had an interview yesterday with Viscount Melbourne. BRIGHT ON-T H URSDAY.

Their Majesties have renewed their annual subscription to the Chain Pier. We stated yesterday, by mistake, that Capt. Pouleft, instead of Capt. ?echell, was honoured with an audience of the King.

TRANSLATION OF BERANGER'S SONG, LE VIOLON BRISE. Come hither, my dog, my poor beast, Take thy food—never mind my despair ; I have saved yet a cake from the feast, To-morrow—black bread is the fare. The stranger, who conquered by ruse, Bade me yesterday play on the plain, " Make us dance !" he exclaim'd—l refuse, My fiddle, he snapped it in twain. 'Twas the village orchestre will be seen No more fetes happy days arc no more Who can strike up the dance on the green, And awaken the Loves, as before? Its chords, touch'd with warmth and with pride, At the dawn of a day, oh ! how dear, Were wont to announce to the bride That the train of young Colin drew near. In the barn, and throughout the vill'age, How dreary the Sunday will be ! And God, will He bless the vintage That is open'd without melody ? 'Twas the soother of labours when late, All cares flew away at its sound ; For taxes, for storms, for the great, It consoled all the hamlets around. Ev'ry hatred—it stifled in birth, All tears—it forbade them to flow ; Never sceptre has done upon earth So much good as accomplished my bow. But the enemy now let us chase, My courage is glowing within me, In my hands let a musket replace The fiddle he broke in his fury. My dear friends from whom I must go, If perchance I should perish, will say, " He would not that the barbarous foe Dance o'er our wreck, and he gay." Then come hither, my dog, my poor beast, Take thy food, never mind my despair; I have saved yet a cake from the feast, To-morrow—black bread is the fare. MILO. We regret to state that the Right Hon.

SIBTHORPIAN OUTRAGES 0 LINCOLN. --.1.......-- , , the One of the most brutal and cowardly outrages ur - ix family of Mr. Northhouse, the Editor of the Lineal7l.-0, zette, has been committed, and as that gentleman 1:;e 11 , e ,, r ,e1 by the bribed and drunken blackguards - who returned Cie`",ce Sibthorp for Lincoln, which has not beea exceeded,siigy the riots at Birmingham, and the destruction of the Lib' of Dr. Priestley. 40 It appears that an article which was inserted on the-le, of October in the Gazette, affirming the existence of wifo, sale debauchery in a certain Conservative Society atevtio coin, was the cause of this outrage upon the family 0' 0 1 absent gentleman. We give the following particulars irc Mr. Northbouse's statemeut : of " On the sth of November, some of the leaders r $ Colonel Sibthorp's party induced by promises of beeosll portion of the poor ignorant people they bad pre vi° o o, bribed, to make a figure as similar.to myself as they c ° b ip to be called my ' effigy,' carry it about the citY, pd. it. and burn it.
