SAUCE.—This delicate, deli cious, and favourite Sauce, long patronized by Epicures and Families of the first distinction, in all parts of the world, is strongly recommended and in high repute, for Fish, Game, Curries, Main tenon Cutlets, Venison, Steaks, Chops, Cold Meats, and all Made Dishes ; it is also a great improver and excellent browning for Gravies. Its peculiar rich and warm qualities will, it is presumed, upon trial, induce those of delicate appetite, to continue a zest, not to be obtained by any other Sauce. Merchants, Captains, and Families going abroad, particularly to warm climates, will find it almost indispensable, it being, from its superior quality, warranted to keep any length of time.

SHORE.-LADY HEWLEY'S The LORD CHANCELLOR this morning, on taking his seat, said that for the information of Counsel engaged in this cause, he wished to state that he had consulted with Mr. Justice Littledale, who informed him (the Lord Chan cellor) that he should not be able to attend in Term, and Mr. Baron Parke would not be able to lend his assistance in hearing this case until after Term. He would therefore take the earliest opportunity in speaking to all the Judges, and beg the assistance of those two whose time was likely to be the least occupied. Sir C. WETHERELL, for himself, did not see any point in this case that made it necessary for his Lordship to have the assistance of the Law Judges. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that as Lord Brougham had thought it necessary, and knowing himself so little of the case, he certainly should wish to have the assistance of the Law Judges ; and as soon as he could ascertain when two could attend, he would inform the gentlemen of the Bar. The conversation here dropped. SHAW V. BORRER. This was an appeal part-heard some time ago. The bill, it will be recollected, was filed for the specific performance of a contract for the sale of an advowson which a Mr. Shaw, the father of Sir John Shaw, had charged, together with other real property, with the payment of his debts, although he had, at the same time, vested the same advow son in the hands of trustees to present to his second son at the death of the present incumbent, and afterwards to sell, for the purpose of raising portions for such of his daughters as might be then single, and unmarried. The executors having determined to sell the advowson, a reference was obtained to the Master to make good a title, and the second son of the testator having waived his right to the presentation, it was contended on their part that this object was effected. The purchaser, however, objected, on the ground that the testator had expressly directed the presen tation of his second son to be anterior to the sale, and the proceeds of the sale to be then divided among his unmar ried daughers, while, if the sale took place now, before the presentation, and before the death of the present incum bent, this second son would not have the provision intended for him by his father, and the trustees would also have the power of selecting the unmarried daughters instead of wait ing, as they were bound to do, and dividing among such as were unmarried at the time prescribed by the testator. Mr. HODGSON having been heard at considerable length in support of this view of the case, Sir W. HORNE argued that it was imperative on the executors to sell forthwith, and that in doing so they merely complied with the intentions of the testator. His Lordship postponed judgment. PORTER V. FOX. This was an appeal from the Vice-Chancellor, on the construction of a will. The testator had directed that his property should accumulate until his nephew and grand children respectively reached the age of twenty-five. That when the nephew reached that age, the first division should take place, and subsequent distributions should also be made as the grandchildren reached the same age. The Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that the property being left to a class, the bequest became void from remoteness. It was contended that his Honour had been in error in construing the words of the will as forming a class of heirs. The LORD CHANCELLOR undoubtedly did not at present agree with the Vice-Chancellor, but could not feel war ranted in promising a hasty decision on any point which had received such attention. His LORDSHIP rose at half-past four. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAR. 14. THIC KING V. FORD AND OTHERS. Mr. HUMPHRIES moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted in this case. It was an indictment against the defendants for riotously assembling together in the parish of St. James, and unlawfully ob structing certain officers (who were directed to seize the goods of one of the defendants for Assessed Taxes) in the execution of their duty. The trial took place before Lord Denman at the Sittings after last Term, and the defendants were convicted. The Learned Counsel said the ground of his application was a misdirection on the part of tha Learned Judge in his charge to the Jury. Lord DENMAN said, the Learned Counsel had better bring forward his motion when the defendants were brought up for judgment. Mr. HUMPHRIES would comply with the suggestion of his Lordship. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. 14. TANNER V. SHENCK AND OTHERS. This was an action on a charter-party, tried before the Lord Chief Justice on the 16th of December last, at the London Sittings after Michaelmas Term, when a verdict was found for the defendant. The real plaintiffs were the General Steam Navigation Company, who had bought the London Merchant steam-ship of the nominal plaintiff, sub ject to a charter party, under which the defendants were to navigate the vessel between London and Rotterdam, on certain terms, from Midsummer, 1833, to Christmas in the same year. _ Mr. Sergeant WILDE applied for a rule, calling upon the defendants to show cause why judgment should not be en tered up for the plaintiffs non obstante veredicto, or why a new trial should not be had.—Rule to show cause granted. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF PLATE.- —Yesterday Daniel O'Donnell was placed at the bar for re-examination, charged with stealiug a quantity of plate to a considerable amount, the property of Mrs. Mary An■ Moore, a lady residing at-No. 77, Guildford-street, Brunswick-square, in whose service he lived as footman. The evidence for the prosecution having been taken, the prisoner, who appeared exceedingly dejected, and declined saying any thing in defence, was fully committed for trial. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. This office was yesterday crowded by inhabitants of Regent-street and the Quadrant, anxious to dispute a rate made by the Commissioners appointed for paving the New Street. The complaint on the part of the inhabitants of Regent street is that the rates are double what their neighbours in the vicinity pay to the parish of St. James's. Several of the defendants had refused to pay the rate, and had been summoned. On the one hand was Mr. Toogood, the col lector ; and on the other Mr. a'Becket, the solicitor, who attended for the defendants. After a long discussion between the two representatives of the contending parties, Mr. DYER referred to the Act under which the rate was made. It gave an appeal to the Commissioners of Paving at their next meeting. That course sought to be adopted in the first instance, and if, on consideration of the case, they were not inclined to reduce any objectionable rate, then the Statute said the inhabitants could have recourse to the Ma gistrates at Quarter Sessions. Several of the parties expressed their determination to appeal to the Commissioners. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. HORRID MURDER.—Yesterday the head porter of Gray's Inn-square attended at this Office to give information of a' most horrid murder upon a child, and to ask the advice of the magistrates under the following circumstances :-- On Tuesday night last, about seven o'clock, Ellen Beaton, a girl, fourteen years of age, daughter of Mrs. Beaton, the keeper of Chambers, N 0.2, Vernlam-buildings, Gray's Inn, on passing through the passage observed a bundle lying in a corner, on picking up which sh• immedi ately took it to her mother, who, on opening it, found the body of a full-grown child, with its throat literally cut from ear to ear, and covered with blood, it being wrapped up in a towel and a piece of flannel. Mr. Beaton made the cir cumstance known to the police constables of the E divi: sion, who took the body to St. Giles's station-house, when, according to the directions of Mr. Rice, the inspector of that division, they carried it to the workhouse of the united ,parishes of St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr, and information was instantly forwarded to Thomas Stirling, Esq., the Coroner, for an inquest to be held on the body. The porter now applied on behalf of the benchers of the inn to have the body of the deceased child removed to the steward's lodge, where, it was contended, that the body should have been originally taken. Application had been made to the parish authorities of St. Andrew, Hol- left ho' y or to , 4 v are ilt ; ch ild o file .4i tool" )( i Itch tsi gi r ew IPP ° :tiO P l4 ` ri d tli° g, s t 110 t the 1. for :t 0 ight er Ge org' of a UNION-HALL. Yesterday the boy Mason, in the employ of Messrs. Wilson, the hatters, of Holland-street, Blackfriars-road, was brought up for re-examination, charged with breaking open a letter containing .501., belonging to his employers, and a man named Peterson, connected with flat exhibition at the Rotunda, and two other young lads, were charged with receiving a portion of the money, knowing it to have been stolen. The boy Mason, on the preceding day, in accounting for the quick manner in which he got rid of the whole of the 501., which he had abstracted from the letter, stated that he had given 251. to the prisoner Peterson, at the Rotunda, for merely attending there to witness the performance. Yester day, however, he gave a different version of the affair, and when examined on this point by Mr. Trail the boy said that he did not give the whole of the 251. into the hands of Peterson, but only a portion of that sum, giving the remain der of it between the actors who had performed at the Ro tunda. When questioned closely as to the exact sum he had given to Peterson, the reply was that he had given him a 101. note, and when asked why he gave a different statement on this occasion to that on the preceding day, his answer was that his being taken into custody was the subject of conversation at the gaol, and amongst his fellow prisoners were some of those to whom he, had given a share of the 501., and they brought to his remembrance that he had distributed the 25/. amongst the actors, and not given the whole of it to one person. It was manifest that the boy was now equivocating, and that he had been tampered with by some of the parties, but he adhered to his second account of the transaction. Deller, the officer, went to take Peterson into custody on the preceding night, and although he was at home at the time, yet he was denied, and tried to conceal himself in a neighbour's yard. When first asked by the officer whether he did not know something about a 101. note given to him by a boy in custody, he assumed to be igno rant of the matter, but when he found the officer was about to take him into custody, he then said, addressing Deller, " tell you all about the money, and I know you will not mention it to the Magistrate." The officer, how ever, cautioned him not to say anything on the subject, adding, that whatever he should say would be communi cated at the office as soon as he was brought before the Magistrate. Mr. TRAILL said that the officer was bound to have heard the prisoner make any voluntary statement if he liked ; but that he was not to have extorted any confession from him. The Magistrate then said that he supposed what the officer said completely closed the mouth of the prisoner afterwards. The officer replied in the affirmative. The prisoner Peterson also preserved a simil ar d egree o f silence on the present occasion ; Mr. Warner, his profes sional adviser, contending that the statement of the thief himself could not be received in evidence against Peterson. The two other lads in custody admitted having received from Mason, the one 3/. and the other 21. One of them expended the whole in buying a suit of clothes, and the other had the money still in his possession. The boy Mason was committed for stealing the 50/. ; Peterson was re manded, and the other two boys were discharged. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

( Abridged from a third Edition of the Edinburgh Evening Courant of Monday,) Courant O f fice, Seven o'clock, p. m. The nomination of the candidates to represent the city in Parliament took place to-day. About half-past eleven o'clock Lord Ramsay and Mr. Lear month, with a numerous body of their friends, marching in order four deep, and amounting to nearly 1,000, arrived in procession from the George-street Assembly Rooms, preceded by music and banners, and took their places in the left division of the hustings Shortly after Mr. Abercromby and Sir J. Campbell, with a number of their friends who came in procession from the Merchant's Hall, and took their stations on the right of the hustings. JOAN LAUDER, Esq., Master of the Merchant's Company, moved that the Right Hon. James Abercromby was a fit and proper person to represent this city in Parliament.—( Loud cheers.) Bailie MACFARLAN seconded the nomination. Mr. RUTHERFORD Advocate, proposed Sir John Campbell. Mr. FOREST, of domiston, seconded the nomination. Mr. FORSYTH proposed Lord Ramsay. Mr. GLADSTONE seconded the motion. Sir DAVID MILNE.—I will not detain you long, as I am not accustomed to make long speeches, but to speak in sincerity and truth. I have great pleasure in bringing forward a gentle man whom I have the honour to nominate as one of your re presentatives in Parliament. If you ask me what title I have to come forward on this occasion, 1 tell you that I was born and bred in this city—( Cheers)--and that I left it in early life for the service of my country, but in whatever situation, or in whatever place I was, I always had a warm heart towards Auld Reekie."—( Cheers.) I am, in fact, one of yourselves, and, when thirty-six years ago I was presented with the free dom of this city for my services—( Cheers)—l felt it an honour of the most gratifying kind to a young man, as I then was. For these reasons I have intruded myself upon your notice, to bring Mr. Learmonth forward as one of Nig- representatives. I have known him long; I have met him in public and in pri vate ; and I honestly declare that I do not know a person who is more fit - to represent you than Mr. Learmonth. He is a man of business habits, well acquainted with the affairs of the Scot tish metropolis, in which also he is a large proprietor. With regard to Mr. Learmonth's public character, I shall say but little. He then proposed Mr. Learmonth. RORERT WAIDLAW RAMSAY of Tillicoultry, Esq., seconded the motion. Mr. ABERCEOMBY then presented himself, and was received with cheering. He said—Gentlemen, you have now heard from the respective movers and seconders the pretensions or grounds upon which the various candidates are put forward to represent you in Parliament. For myself, I may say that I never have come forward to represent this city in Parliament except on the solicitation of others, because it is not me that you support, but the cause, and I am only the humble instru ment of the cause in your hands. Gentlemen, if I urged no thing in my own behalf, I certainly do not mean to utter one single syllable in disparagement of the pretensions of my op ponents. If they can convince you that they entertain prin ciples and opinions in consonance with the opinions and prin ciples of the great majority of the constituency of this city, they have then a fair right to claim your suffrages ; but until they can place themselves in that situation, I have no fear of going to the poll, because I fully anticipate what your answer will be, and that will be recorded on Wednesday at 4 o'clock. —( Loud cheers.) When Parliament has been dissolved un expectedly on former occasions, it has generally happened that those particular grounds on which the King was advised to ap peal to the sense of the country has been made distinctly known ; but on the present occasion it is undoubtedly very difficult to discover the precise question on which we are called to decide. I myself do not know any reason why the late House of Commons should have been dissolved except this, that the Ministry were of opinion that the House of Commons would not give them their confidence and: support.—( Cheers and hear.) Therefore, when they dissolved the Parliament, the necessary expectation or hope at least must have been, that the country would return a Parliament different from that which was dissolved. Now, I ask you what are the grounds on which you must suppose that the late Parliament was dis solved—why simply because they (the Ministry), knew that their own measures would be very much within what the country hopes and expects from Parliament. It is, therefore, in your hands now to decide what the character of the future House of Commons shall be, whether a true, steady, and honest assertor of the opinion of the country, or whether the new House of Commons shall devote themselves exclusively to the opinions of his Majesty's Ministers? That is the ques tion you are called upon to decide in this city ? That ques tion has been already decided in the metropolis of England —( Cheers)—and I have no doubt, that the metropolis of Scotland will not fall short of England, in doing their duty. --( Cheers.) I dare say, many of you have have heard, that it has been said, that if the country be so perverse and so ob stinate as to i eturn a House of Commons, that will not give their support to the present Ministry, that, therefore, the Par liament is again to be dissolved. Now, gentlemen, Ido not believe any such thing. My conviction, which I will now tell you, is this, that it is scarcely consistent with pro bability, that the King would consent to have his prero gative so used. I am certain of this, and there are those here who know that it is the fact, that there can be no greater enemies of the present Ministry than those who circu late such an opinion throughout the country, because the Mi nistry have said, " We will not attempt to alter the Reform Bill, because we regard it as a final measure." Why, to be sure, they will not attempt to repeal it. They know your exer tions to obtain, and they know that you would make still greater exertions if they attempted to repeal it. But I tell you what they will do—they will try to defeat the effect of the Reform Bill by indirect means, and, among the means they would use, would be repeated dissolutions, as the y t h i nk the Tory p urses are heavier than thos e of the o pp osit e party--(that I believe to be true) —and the y would ex p ect, b y means of their mone y and repeated exertions, that they would tire out the patience of the people. But, gentlemen, let me tell you, those who so argue little know the people; and my conviction is, that those who, maintain that doctrine are the worst friends of his Majesty's present Ministry. Because, what is it those friends impute when they make use of that language ? It is this : "We will go on, dissolving Parliament, until we have subdued and broken the spirit of the people."--( Cheers and hisses.) They will go on, then, for the mere purpose of breaking the spirit of the people, and by so doing they would most effectually defeat the effect of the Reform Bill. Therefore I stated, that Ido not believe they will have recourse to those repeated dissolutions ; and I also stated, what I believe to be true, that those who cir culate such an opinion as I have alluded to are the worst friends of his Majesty's present Ministry. But observe that those who circulate such a report as that, and can talk gravely of such an event, afford you an indication of their own opinions, which you ought to know, and whenever you hear any one taking such an opinion, you may rest assured that he is no friend to reform—no friend to the people.—( Cheers.) I have only one topic more upon a question which relates to you, the inhabitants of this city. It is a question on which I mean to speak in the presence of my opponents, because I mean to appeal it to them. You are all aware—and Sir John Campbell knows it as well as I—that there has been great intimidation used by the supporters of our opponents. __( Loud and vehement disapprobation from Lord Ramsay and Mr. Learmonth's supporters, responded to by loud cheers from the opposite party.) I affirm the fact, that intimidation has been carried to a great extent during the canvas of this city. I tell you that my opponents, as I might be assured they would do, have like honest men disavowed all knowledge of the fact. Therefore, I ask my opponents now to come for ward and to declare, that which I know they must and will declare—viz., that they disavow it themselves, that they dis approve of it on the part of their friends. I know they will say that, and when said—l ask what is your opinion of those who persevere in a course of conduct, which nobody has the courage to come forward and defend.—(Loud cheering.) Gentlemen, those persons who have recourse to those means, I have no doubt use this argument, and say—" I have the power of choosing whom I shall employ, and I have a right to do what I like with my own."—( Cheers.) Now, I do not deny that every man has a right to do with his own as he chooses, but, at the same time, there is a right way, and there is a wrong way. Now, is he following that right way ? I ask you does that man use his power rightly when he goes and tells the tradesman that he has employed for years, and who relies on the continuance of that support for the maintenance of himself and family, " I will no longer employ you ?" And why ! " Because you have exercised honestly and conscientiously that right the law gives you and your country expects you to exercise fairly and honestly. Now, gentlemen, is that a just way of using your own? Is that the way we ought to use our power ? Certainly not ; because a man, supposing he is a shopkeeper, is thereby placed in that situa tion that he has only those alternatives, either to violate the principles he conscientiously maintains, or to depart from that duty which he owes to the country, and which the law and the constitution give him to be exercised for the benefit of his country_4 say he must violate his principles, or sacrifice that support which ho derives from his custom, for the behoof of his family. I say that is improper,—l say these are dishonest means used to deprive men of their rights ; and I say that this is one of the mean efforts made to contract the large consti tuencies, and to defeat the Reform Bill.--(Loud cheers and hisses.) I would not have said so much on this subject, if I had not received such information, and such communications on this subject, as made it my duty on my mind, to take this opportunity of publicly expressing the opinion I entertain on this s u bj ec t. Gentlemen, I have many friends in Edin burgh--( Loud Cheers)—and I dare say many enem ies, and I say thi s , th a t if there are any of my enemies who wish to giv e me pa i n , t h e y canno t t a k e a more effectual way than by makin g me h ea r the general complaints of those very shopkeepers.—( From Mr. Learmouth—" That is capital.") I know they don't give‘ me their votes personally—it is for the sake of the cause. But, lam so connected with you, that I must hear their complaints ; and I can assure you they are most painful and distressing to me. Therefore I conjure all persons who are well disposed, and who reflect k upon this course, must say that it is bad, because none daxe o come f 9, ward in public and defend it. I shall not detain you longer. If you please to come forward and return me to the House of Commons, I shall discharge my duty as an honest man, and more I cannot say.—( Loud cheers and hisses from the respective parties. ) Sir JOHN CAMPBELL then came forward, and was received in like manner as Mr. Abercromby. Gentlemen, I shall not detain you longer. I cannot help feeling deeply fer the inconvenience I know you suffer. I suppose I see before me 10,000 inhabitants of Edinburgh, who are assembled in this inclement season, with their feet in the mud, and the rain descending in torrents upon their heads.—(Laugh ter and loud cheers.) Gentlemen, to whom is this owing ? I say to the Tories—( Great hootings and loud cheers) who have most improperly dissolved the reformed and reform ing Parliament ; and who know that, if that Parliament had existed, their tenure of power would be short ; and who came to the sound conclusion, that the people are tired of reform, and that a Tory Parliament, at least Tory representatives, will now be returned by the constituency of Edinburgh.—( Hear, hissing and cheering.) Gentlemen, it is the less necessary for me to detain you long when I say that in every sentiment which you have hard from Mr. Abercromby I most heartily concur; and it is a great felicity in my life that upon all the leading principles upon which I am to be guided, I entirely agree with that gentleman, whom I had as my colleague , and whom I still expect to have as my colleague, representing you in Parliament.—(Loud cheers and hisses.) Gentlemen, in the sentiments that he expressed about intimidation, I most heartily concur, and I say that those who don't do with their own as they ought, but are pleased tolintimidate, are as guilty of robbery as if they actually filched the property of another ; because every man whose vote is given to him must have it constitutionally, and ought therefore to be allowed freely to dispose of it, which is a most valuable property. Gen tlemen, my services are not to be compared to those of Mr. Abercromby, who years and years ago at tempted to obtain a representative of Edinburgh, who would speak your sentiments and defend your rights ; and who in the absence of such a Representative formerly returned by you, was himself your Representative.—( Cheers.) But, gen tlemen, I have done the utmost for the purpose of emanci pating my country from the degraded state to which it was reduced. When Mr. Abercromby was filling a judicial situa tion, and was not in Parliament, I was seen at my post in the House of Commons. I defended the Reform Bill in all its stages—voted against Sir Robert Peel and those who sur round him, who did every thing in their power to keep you in a state of degradation.—( Cheers and hisses.) I likewise sat in the Reformed Parliament, which has been so unceremo niously cashiered ; and, again, I voted against Sir Robert Peel and the Tories in defence of every measure which I ap proved. I voted for the emancipation of the negroes.—(Loud laughter from Lord R.'s and Mr. L.'s party, and cheers from the other.) I voted for the opening of the China trade—l voted for burgh reform in Scotland, by which the thirty-three gentlemen that used to meet over the way were foreclosed, and you are therefore now entitled, as free citizens, to elect those by whom you wish to be governed. In every one of those measures we were opposed by the Tories ; and if the Tories had been in power you never would have enjoyed them. It was upon those grounds that in the month of May last, when your most distinguished citizen, Mr. Jeffrey, was elevated to the Bench, that I, although a stranger here, yet soli cited the high honour of representing you in Parliament. —Gentlemen, you then preferred me to my friend —if I may be allowed to call him so—(Mr. Learmonth). I was returned by an immense majority, and I do trust, gentlemen, that I have done nothing since then to forfeit your good opinion.—( Voice—You are quite right—you have done nothing.) Why should I then lose the high honour of con tinuing to be your representative ? Gentlemen, one of the honourable and eloquent movers of my friend Mr. Aber cromby said this was the Modern Athens. Now, gentlemen, you do resemble the Athenians in the beauty of your city—in the elegance of your buildings, and in the manner in which literature, science, and the arts flourish in your city. But, is it to be expected that you are to imitate the Athenian popu lace in their noted and proverbial fickleness ? Are to be a by word, and to be called the modern Athenians, because you dismissed from your service without reason those in whom you formerly confided ? Gentlemen, what change has happened from the time that I had the honour of being elected your re presentative ? lamam no longer His Majesty's Attorney- General,—( Laughter and cheers.)--but gentlemen, I am truly plain John Campbell.—( Laughter.) I appear, gentle men, as your fellow-citizen, and hope that you will not say that a man is to be returned because he is in office and enjoys the favour of the Court ; and because he is dismissed from office it follows that he is likewise to be dismissed from your confi dence and favour. It used to be said that Scotsmen would al ways follow the party in power, but that was when Scotland was not represented. I may rather say when Scotland was misrepresented, and the voice of the people could not be heard ; but not now, I should hope, when Scotsmen are famed for being rational, reflecting, and consistent reformers. Then are you to rally round this ultra-Tory Government? — (Cheers and hisses, and cries of "No I") I will speak with tenderness of the present Government, because I believe it is now drawing towards its dissolution. It is said we should say nothing but what is good of the dead, and I cannot help think ing that the days and hours of the ultra-Tory Government are numbered.—( Cheers, hootings, and laughter.) Gentlemen, look to the returns of the various constituencies throughout the empire, and the 16 reforming members returned by the metropolis of England. In some places in England, lam sorry to say that corruption and intimidation have prevailed (Great hissing and cheers.) Some of the returns show that the Reform Bill instead of going too far, has hardly gone far enough, and Shedule A ought to have contained some of the boroughs that now boast of the elective franchise. But, Gen tlemen, I say, that in spite of bribery, corruption, and intimi dation, a large majority will be returned.—( Loud cheers and hisses.) The learned Knight then stated, that in the last House of Commons the Conservative party, out of 658, num bered 120, so that to acquire a decided majority in the suc ceeding they would require three times that number.—( Here a card was handed up to him, and he resumed.) Hurrah ! I can congratulate you that my anticipations were right. Gentlemen, the majority of Liberals is swelled by every arrival, and on this day there is now returned by authentic accounts, a majority of 71 Liberals.—( Cheers.) Sir John then alluded to the arrange ment by which Lord Ramsay was proposed before Mr. Lear month, and said it was contrary to the etiquette in elections where the former candidates always took the precedence. With regard' to Lord Ramsay he ( Sir John) being an older man, would use the freedom to say that if the Noble Lord had boasted less of his illustrious descent, they would have ho noured it more. He would venture to point out to his Lord ship the modest motto of his illustrious Chief the Duke of Ar gyll, who was at the head of a name which might ever be compared to that of " Ramsay."' The motto was " vix ea nostra voco," which might be translated thus, " That which we do not acquire ourselves, we ought not to boast of."— ( Cheers.) Then, Lord Ramsay being an ingenuous youth, had boldly and frankly declared that he was a Tory, and he had said with great decision and manliness, (and he honoured him for it), that he would by no means vote for Dissenters being admitted to the English Universities ; that it was much better than promising to vote, and breakino such a promise. But while he thus honoured the Noble Lord for his conscientious declarations and his candour, he must say that he would have been better pleased bad the No ble Lord left that place, where he had derived so much be fit, with a feeling of the hardship occasioned by the exclusion of Dissenters, who, as well as the Noble Lord, went there to pursue their liberal studies. With regard to the Thirty-nine Articles, he for himself thought that there was nothing con tained in them to prevent an honest and conscientious Presby terian from subscribing to them ; but that was no argument for withholding the privileges of the Universities from them, who entertained conscientious scruples upon that point. After some allusion to Mr. Learmonth, who could not boast of il lustrious descent, like the Noble Lord, but whom he still did not honour the less on that account, he said, that, he had no doubt, he was an excellent citizen and an amiable man in pri vate life, but still he came here as a Tory nominee, and they could not vote for him, unless they really wished to have a Tory House of Commons. They might, therefore, love and honour him in the intercourse of private life, and there they should confine him until his principles were changed. He had been much interrogated, and he would conclude in his turn with interrogating them on one or two questions. Ist. Are you tired of Reform ?--(Cries of " No, no," with cheers and groans.) 2d. Do you wish to have the continuance of Tory Government ?—( The same expressions as before.) 3d. Do you wish that the fruits of Reformers which are now within your reach, should be for ever wrested from your grasp? Gen tlemen, these answers are most satisfactory to me, and they clearly show, that my friend Mr. Abercromby and myself must be returned with a triumphant majority—connecting what you have done on former occasions, and connecting the receptions we have met with in our various visits in your great and beautiful city, I think it will not be presumption in me to say, that I am confident we must be returned again as your Representatives ; but, gentlemen, that alone will not be satis factory to the public. I say it will not satisfy the British empire, for your countrymen are all looking with eagerness to see what is the amount of your majority, because by that they will receive your sentiments on this subject, and by that they will be able to measure your love of freedom and your detes tation of slavery.--( Great cheering, with groans from the opposite party.) Lord RAMSAY was received with mingled applause and dis approbation. Allow me to tell you that it makes, upon the whole, little difference whether Mr. Learmonth or myself be proposed first, as I confidently anticipate that in two days we shall both be before our hon. antagonists.—( Cheers.) I shall not reply to every little insinuation which these hon. gentlemen have thrown out against me, and to what I con sider the unhandsome interpretation which has been put upon my words respecting my ancestry. I never but on one occa sion alluded to that subject, and then it was only in reply to some objections against me, that I was not known here ; and I think I might justly refer to those who had gone before me to prove that I was not unknown. I shall not say one word more to all that the hon. gentleman has thrown out personally against Mr. Learmonth and myself. I shall come—and Ido this the more readily—to answer the more grave objections of the right hon. gentleman. r:fearlessly take up the'gauntlet which he has thrown down—l boldly accept the challenge which he has given—l rebut the charge.—(Cheers.) I have denied it publicly on a preceding day—l have answered a letter which was addressed to me in the newspZTers —and I deny again, as distinctly, that such proceed ings, if they exist at all, exist either with my knowledge, or by my authority.—( Cheers.) Allow me to add, with respect to what fell from the Right Hon. Gentleman, that it was scarcely handsome in him to hold forth at such comparative length on this subject, and then to end with saying that ho himself did not believe the charge.—( Great cheers, followed by cries of " No, no," from Mr. Abercromby's party.) I appeal to the cheers which followed the end of that speech, if such was not the inference that might be drawn from his words. I beg to condole with that gentleman on the pain which he says the subject caused him, which did not seem to be very great, con sidering the stoical indifference with which he entered into lengthened disquisition on the subject. I believe the Hon. Gentleman acquits me from the charge—(" Certainly")—and my hon. friend.—(" Certainly.") If Igo to Parliament, I shall go with as conscientious a determination to remove every thing which bears the semblance of wrong, to amend every thing that has the shadow of an abuse, as either of those Hon. Gentlemen. I am happy to find that in all the speeches which I have been able to hear, the only fault alleged against me is that I am a young man.—( Cries of " You are a Tory.") It is true that I am young, but I ask you whether it is more likely that the toil and labour which the duties of a Member of Parliament imposes will be discharged less efficiently by a young man than by a servant who is not in the flower of his age. And now I pray you again to contrast us with our op ponents. Of my Hon. Friend it will not be said he is a stranger to you. The gentlemen on my right claims the honour of representing you ; and on what ground ? One of them was a number of years ago born in Scotland, and he has twice appeared before you in twelve months. On the first occasion he claimed your support, because he was the Attorney-General, and supported the Government, and in the course of twelve months he appears before you again, his only reason for your support being that he is not Attorney-General, and that he does not support the Government. I will not de tain you longer. This being my first trial, and in the metro polis of my native country, I did expect something more like fair play than this conduct. But the fault does not rest with me—the shame rests with you. Mr. LEARMONTH—I now come forward as the supporter of his Majesty's Government—upon no false pretence of reform, upon no pretence of giving more reform than is necessary for the good of the country ; but I come forward determined to give true reform; and determined to effect the removal of all abuses and blots in the Constitution so soon as a calm con sideration shall prove them to exist. Our honourable oppon ents hate the Government at present in existence, and there fore they wish to see it upset ; but I trust you will believe me when I say that in my heart and conscience I am convinced that the present Government are more decided and honest Reformers than the last.—( Cheers.) We have the first man in the country at the head of this Government—the King has pledged himself to Reform—the Premier's word is pledged to Reform—and the immortal Duke of Wellington—( Great cheering and groans)—is also pledged to Reform, and who will dispute the honour and integrity of his word ?—( Cheers. ) I have already alluded to the fall of the Whig Cabinet, be cause it divided against itself ; and with regard to two honour able opponents, I would ask how can they stand, for they are divided against each other ; although they profess to be united, Ido not know that they hold two opinions in unison—for in stance, Mr. Abercromby states that the City Clergy shouldbe reduced to thirteen ; but Sir John Campbell has expressed no such opinion, at least as far as I know. Again, Sir John Campbell's opinion is, that the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland should receive pay from the Government of a similar description to the regzum donum—but I believe this opinion is not entertained by Mr. Abercromby. How, then, can they act together ? Is this the United Cabinet ? Split at the very outset-4 Laughter and cheers)—whereas the Noble Lord and I are united in our opinions upon every subject, so far as I know. We are decidedly opposed to the payment of the Roman Catholic Clergy in Ireland, and deter mined to ul hold all our institutions in Church and State. The Sheriff then came forward and called for a show of hands, first for Mr. Abercromby, and afterwards for the other candidates. He declared the show of hands to be in favour of Mr. Aber cromby and Sir John Campbell, and a poll being demanded, he appointed Tuesday and Wednesday, for the two polling days. FRENCH PAPERS. JAN. 12.—A dispatch from Bayonne arrived at Paris to-day announces that M. Man't, Commander of the Hirondelle, sta tioned off Bilboa, was assassinated on the Ist of January, at nine in the evening, on his retuan from the Carnival, to go on board his vessel. His dead body was found on the road by an English officer. It is thought that the crime was committed by five Carlists. An inquiry was immediately set on foot. llfoniteur. We have no very positive details of the victory announced by General Caratala. A convoy which left Elisondo on the 6th, returned to that place in the evening, on being informed that a party of Carlists was lying in wait for it at Balatte. To understand how the Constitutionalists were at Elisondo with a convoy, we must remember that Colonel Ocana, going on the 2d to Urdach to receive the four millions of reals, the oxen, horses, &c. sent from Bayonne, finding his rear attacked by Sagastibelza, stopped at Elisondo ; he probably stopped there again on his return, and acted prudently in going back, for we read in the Sentinelle de Pyrenees :—" All the force of Navarre is united in the environs of Balatte ; it consists of ten Navarrese battalions, a battalion of guides, and two battalions of Castile." The Memorial des Pyrenees rightly foresaw that this rich convoy would tempt the Carlist General-in-Chief, but it must li be mistaken in supposing the battle spoken of by General ' Caratala was fought for the possession of it ; that battle was fought on the 22(1; the money, &c., did not leave the French territory till the 4th. Don Ignacio Lurraga, who made the famous sermon in the church of Elisondo on the appearance of Don Carlos, has been arrested in a convent of nuns. Probably the Car lists have already shot him. The Duke of Orleans yesterday visited Marshal Gerard, whose indisposition we have mentioned.—Messager, Jan. 12. MEETINGS OF CREDITORS AT THE COURT, 13 - ASINGHALL-STREET, TO-MORROW.

Sir Robert reached Tamworth in time on Friday night to be pre sent at the annual ball at the Town Hall, at which all the rank and fashion of the neighbourhood were present. Mr. Yates Peel and Lady Jane are also gone to Tamworth. Sir Robert, it is understood, will continue for the present to use the offi cial residence of the Premier in Downing-street as an office only. It is said that the letter of M. de Talleyrand, in serted yesterday in the Moniteur, was published against the desire of Louis Philippe. This may appear strange enough, but still it is said to be the case. It is even added that in an interview which M. de Talleyrand had with Louis Philippe, or rather an energetic nature, the former observed, " The ques tion is not whether my letter is to be printed, but whether it is to be printed by your printer or mine !"—Quotidienne. The letter of Prince Talleyrand has become the general topic of conversation. This letter, however, does not form the whole of the correspondence on the subject of the resignation of the valuable diplomatist. There are said to have been about forty letters from the King, the Queen, and Madame Adelaide, which will not be the least curious docu ments found hereafter amongst the papers of the ex-Bishop of Autun.—Rfforniateur.

SOUTHWARK LITERARY INSTITUTION...--.The annual meeting of the members of this Literary Society was held at the Institution, Bridge House-place, Newington, for the purpose of electing a President for the year ensuing. This Society was established in 1832, and under the active exer tions of the founder, J. P. Thomas, Esq., the President, it has gradually increased its members, the number of which now amounts to four hundred and eighty, having also a library of about three thousand volumes, a museum, and extensive pre mises, in which lectures are weekly delivered. An attempt has been, however, made to eject Mr. Thomas, a few of the members proposing Mr. E. L. Bulwer, M.P., for President. The election took place the evening before last, and created considerable interest. The result was that Mr. J. P. Thomas was re-elected President by a very large majority. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—At the Marlbo rough-street Police office Tuesday, Jcseph Holland, a middle aged man, formerly clerk and manager to Mr. Smith, the proprietor of the Pantechnicon Carriage Repository, Belgrave square, was yesterday placed at the bar, charged with em bezzling the sums of 63/. and 50/., the monies of his master. Evidence having been heard as to the facts, the pri soner, by consent of the prosecutor, was admitted to bail. LOCUSTS.—The United States Gazette says : " A friend brought to us on Yesterday a branch from an apple tree, which he took from the orchard of Mr W. Stokes, at Germantown, where the locusts early last summer swarmed in great abundance. The branch is completely perforated from one end to the other, on both sides, where the locusts deposited their eggs—and we learn that the young trees throughout the orchard were nearly all killed by the process. About sa weeks since the eggs hatched, and the young, in the form of a small worm, fell to the ground. We believe few persons are aware of the amount of injury which these locusts are clpable of doing, and which they have do ne since last spring." ,yer r e% le l'ai
