ONNELL'S SECOND REPLY TO RAPHAEL. (From the Pilot of Friday.) TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF CARLOW. Derrynane Abbey, Nov. 10, 1835. " Hie niger est, hunc to Romane, caveto !" FEI.Low COUNTRYMEN,—WhiIst I was waiting for that Permission from Mr. Vigors which I was certain I should re ceive, to publish the entire of ,thd transactions between .111 r. Ex-Sheriff Raphaeland us, I amused myself with think ing of the var i ous s h apes i n w hi c h th e enemies of civil and religious freedom—who are, blessed be God! my enemies, a nd ever shall be so—will distort Raphael's emnposition, for th e Purpose of ca l umn i a ti ng me . I kn o w how vain it is ? as far as such persons are concerned, to demonstrate that there Is not one shadow of foundation for such calumny. That is no inconvenience to them. Be it so. I consent by antici pation t o every f a l se statement, an d to every fraudulent in sinuation my calumniators may pour out upon me. During the civil wars of 1641, and the subsequent years, W hen Renuncini, the Pope's nuncio, contrived, with the aid of a few mistaken men, to obtain a supreme controul over th e " Confederate Catholics" at Kilkenny, the army was m anaged by means of ecclesiastical censures. One day the ar my were excommunicated for marching without clerical orders, and the next day they were excommunicated for not marching. Affairs were thrown into utter confusion. . The e nemy had all the advantage. Nor was there any prospect of success until General Purcell got together another army, ready to obey him in all perils, spiritual as Well as temporal, and Who were, as he expressed it, " excommunication proof." 'For my. part, fsllow-countrymen, I have thus become calumny proof—l care nothing for calumny ; and, beyond one momentary flash of indignation, I feel neither surprise n or anger. All I require is, that the.calumny should be false, and capable of being shown to be such to any sincere iquirer int o the t ru th. I s h ou ld, th ere f o re, pa ss Ex-She ff Raphael and his commentators over without a reply, Out that I owe it to that estimable Gentleman, Mr. Vigors, - "d to you, togive such a detail of the facts as will at once ' g de monstrate to the satisfaction of every just and impartial rerson, that the lucubrations of Raphael prove nothing but t he tnercenary.and mean malignity of a disappointed miser, Who expended money for the indulgence of the vanity of b eing in Parliament—a vanity which has chanced to be un gfatified: The question is, whether there was anything illegal, im proper, or i n any respect- unbecoming in that expenditure. b as seems to me to be the question which the Ex-Sheriff nas raised, at least that is the substantial qUestion. If that question were answered in the affirmative, he would be e qually blameable with us ; that is just the fortunate situa tion in which a libeller of his description places himself. t u if the question he answered in the negative, as most as suredly it ought, and I fearlessly add will be answered in the negative by every candid man, then Raphael should under stand th a t h e h as th e d ou bl e t ur pit u d e u p on hi m , first, of falsely traducing others ; and secondly, of blackening him self for the purpose of gratifying a sordid, an unprovoked, but impotent vindictiveness. Befo re I en t er i n to th e ques ti on o f w h e th er th ere was any 'lung illegal, improper, or in any respect unbecoming in the a PPlication or expenditure of Raphael's money, let me pre these two facts touching myself, which are really out of all controversy : First—That I had not the slightest pecuniary or per sonal interest in Raphael's 2,0001.—n0t to the extent of one sin g le farthing. I was merely the depositary ; and this f act results (e ve n without the aid of any assertion of mine) from the entire letter of the Ex-Sheriff himself. It results !yen from the false account he gives (out of his own pure ! n vention) of the manner in which, as he alleges, I paid ft over. L . Every candid man will carry this undoubted fact with hi had no pecuniary interest in the money, even to the a mount of half a farthing. Let my calumniators chew the c od upon that at their good leisure. Secondly—That I paid over that sum of 2,0001. to the t, e ,rson for whose use it was deposited with me—namely, A'• Vigors—precisely as he called for it, and to his entire ".s atisfacti on . I not only paid him the 2,0001. to the last thing, but, having in my hurry made a mistake against myself, I actually paid him 15/. more than I ought. • I got 2,0 001. f o r him. I gave him in all 2,015/. He discovered t he mistake, and rectified it. I have vouchers for every" I /e nnrof the money. Every candid man will also carry this second undoubted fact with him—that I paid over to the last farthing every P , e urlY I received. The two facts will be recollected by :-,v ery just and impartial man. It is material to the die. em barrassing my mind of all solicitude on this subject that h .abould r e peat them-Ist. I had not the slightest pecu niary or personal interest in the, money ; 2d. I paid over t he money to the last farthing to the person entitled to it. I may be deemed tedious by this repetition, but I prefer being so to having the possibility of evasion or doubt upon 118 to me important—indeed I think the only important— Part of the case. I have nothing to vindicate myself from ! a nd I never w ill ag a in condescend to say one wdrd upon t here two facts which are thus concluded. But Ido admit—l readily admit—that, having thus re scued myself from all possibility of blame thus far, there r emain s behind the principal question, touching the pro- Priety of the expenditure of the money. Were we—for I at onc e i nvolve-myself in the question—were we warranted . e getting two thousand pounds of Raphael's money, and ,IPendino• it in the manner in which it was expended ; and, o 0 be fore all, has Raphael any cause of complaint on that su bject ? Now, in order fully to discuss this question properly, it Willbe useful to understand these facts relative to the county of Carlow. They are known to you, my friends, Wa ced u t Raphael has made it necessary that they should be before the public eye. F irst—At the general election, in January last, the aba ndoned o f C ar l ow was re li nqu i s h e d ; and, I will. not say, °a ndoned by its former Members, and by all popular can didates. Th e i r res i gnat i on was no t keown until the v er y d ay of the eLction. Secondly —O n th a t d a y, the people, feeling themselves de serted,w s t ar t e d two' unexpepted candidates. The one, ~,7r ; Cahill, a young gentleman of talent and respectability, • ""u of moderate, though independent, property ; the other, • I n3' eldest son, Mr. •Maurice O'Connell, who was not pre sent, and had already been returned for the borough of 'ralee. He was proposed as.a popular name. Thirdly —Under all the disadvantages of want of pre- Para.tion the popular candidates would have been returned It there had been time to poll out the county ; but the a gent s o f B ruen an d K avanag h p ra ctised so successfully el ,ay, that these gentlemen were returned. F ourthly —the expenses of that contest were borne prin 'Pallv by Mr. Cahill ; the residue fell, of course, on the most active partisans of the popular party, who were not it:ieeitliltioalanle to bear it. • Fifthly —The consequence of the undue election was a against the Members returned, and the trial of at Petition ran to great length, and, of course, created pea t l ,; ‘ expense. 'That expense was borne by Mr. Vigors, L. 40 succeeded in unseating the members, at a pecuniary mi t js to himself, which can be duly estimated by those only Wh o have had the fatal experience of an election Committee. t . Sixthly —M r . Vi gors h a d j us t sus t a ined a contested elec um fo r t h e town o f C ar l ow, t h e ent i re ex p ense o f which, of course, fell upon him, and in that contest he was defeated. i n i3 eventhly—The county of Carlow had been represented the last-P ar li amen t b y R e f or m ers . It made a difference f t four votes to the popular interest in Ireland to have the , w ° Orange Tories, Bruen and Kavanagh, represent that , ° „ u ntY, and the Reform paty in the House of Commons " 11i4 1 at that time badly afford that numerical loss. i under these circumstances it was that the writ issued u 2,Mediately on the vacancy being declared., Mr. Vigors, C ourse, had exhausted some part of his inclination to Pe nd money to vindicate the popular interest, and could sot in justice to himself take all the expenses of another ' ll ' ut est• Mr. Cahill refused to stand again. It became nec essary to find somebody who would pledge himself to . s er° rm, and to the support of the Ministry, who would bare with Mr. Vigors in the expense. fo _The ti me pressed, there were but a few days to lofok out ,; a seen(' Reform candidate. Raphael had been long A gin g me fo assist him in canvassing for a seat in Pasha p:,ut,• He bad been making the warmest professions of Patriotic purity. He assailed me in conversation—he be tlred me by letter. Indeed, it would be amusing to con trast his then disgusting flattery with his present con me malignity. A friend of his had corresponded with 7, at the general election respecting the county of-Carlow. j'ender these circumstances I talked with him on the sub e,tof the then vacancy for that county. He had an in shv`e, w with Mr. Vigors on tlie same subject. But as the c s - ,, etln o approached, Mr. Vigors was under the necessity of ma ke off to Ireland, and he gave me full authority to l e any arrangement with Raphael I pleased. aphael' s accoun t o f th e fact is in every respect inac earat e. It is one made up for the senseless purpose of o r oach. .and Th e h natural arrangement would have been that Vigors 0 e sh ou ld h ave paid each half of the expenses of the election and o f an y subsequent petition. But he had ex -Ishrienced already two contested elections ; one for Eve am, the other, as I recollect, Pontefract. The complaint 43, I Q i l . now not how truly, that he bad been involved in Is an'expenditure much beyond what he expected or a; Promised. i t : s had no notion of meddling IA ith him ; my authority .Vigors was unlimited ; my time was ever-occupied 14;te;tled with-him briefly but explicitly ; that be was to risk I ' °oo /. in 'the event of an unsuccessful‘contest—Vigors in that event to pay all the rest—a second 1,0001. if ail was returned : in no event was I.e to be bound to pay fo t Y In c". If he paid one shilling b yond the 2,000/., it If be of his own free will and peife t choice. Only one of the popular candickte, was to be returned, O'C he was to be the person.' Vigors conceded, this, as he ac-' ceded to everything else I agreed to. Vigors also confessed that, no matter what the expenses Of the election might be, the second 1,0001. was to be alto gether applied to the. expenses of a petition, in case the return should be petitioned against. I settled the matter with Raphael in less time than it lias taken me to describe the facts. He called on me for an en gagement that Mr. Vigors would perform his part Of the agreement. I complied 4 once, and wrote him, without a moment's delay, and hastily, the letter of the Ist of June, which he has published in violation Of all the observances of private communication. This was his bargain. He was to pay 2,000/. One-half at once, to defray so much of the legal expenses of the-con test ; the other half when returned. These sums I stipu lated that Vigors should receive—sums incomparably short of half the expenses. See what an excellent bargain this most discourteous Gentile made. The election for the county, it was known, would last six days, as in fact it did last ; one day for nomination, and five days polling—and his moiety of the expenses was to be paid for 1,0001. I beg of any person who was ever engaged in a contested election for a county, to estimate what the one-half of the expense of five days' polling really amounts to, including expenses of every description. Why, no usurer ever made so good a bargain as this man did. No man ever was, sub jected to a worse bargain than that which, in his absence, I made for Mr. Vigors, but which he at once adopted and ratified. _ _ _ To show how far we wero from desiring that this man should pay more than he ought to do, let me just refer-to one expense only, that of printing his address. The Dub lin Evening Post—an excellent authority on this point— states that the payment made to that print alone for the publication of Raphael's address, and mine on his behalf, to the electors, was more than 301., and that the expenditure for -such publication in the other newspapers must have amounted to from three to 4001. Now I hate these details. Surely it is only necessary to say that no man ever yet had a five days' poll for a county who would not rejoice at having but 1,0001. to pay as his moiety on - all, all expenses—Sheriff, Sub-Sheriff, booths, poll-clerks, deputies, agents, inspectors, books, paper, print ing, advertising, carriage of voters to the assize towr, with a tremendous train of et ceteras. I dwell too much on these subjects. If there should be no petition I agreed on the part of Mr. Vio.ors that the greater part of the second I,oool.—more than one-half of it—whatever might be the amount of the election expenses, should be applied to commence the formation of a..fund to indemnify the voters, and their friends and relations, from that persecution which the Carlow landlords then threatened and have since exercised. This plan Raphael not only ap proved of, but declared he would augment that fund, and purchase an estate in Carlow, to enable him to give pro tection to that class of persons. Strange to say, that, favourable as the arrangement was to him, it was scarcely concluded when he shuffled and equivocated, and sought to have the benefit of all that was useful to him, without performing his part. I concluded the arrangement with him on the 31st of May ; yet, until the 10th of June, Le did rot lodge the first 1,000/. I had more trouble with him, than I' ever had with any man: Again, so soon as he was returned, he shuffled and equivo cated again, and I was compelled again to be very peremp tory with him, to make him fulfil the second stipulation. The Committee was struck—unfortunately it was a Tory Committee. Since I have been in Parliament, I have never known a Tory Committee decline to find reasons for giving the victory to 'the Tory party. My opinion, from the moment the Committee was struck, and especially after !heir first decision, was, that it was hopeless to contest the the matter further. But Mr. Vigors performed his part of the compact to the letter. Every shilling of the second 1,0001. was expended in the defence of the petition. This, indeed, is, in substance, adMitted by Raphael himself. He attributes to me the employment of Mr. Baker. ,He knows that I did not employ him, and that he was the agent of Mr. Vigors. He attributes to me the payment of the second 1,0001. to Mr. Baker. This is pure invention. He knows that I paid. the money to Mr. Vigors, and that he expended the money to the. last farthing in defending the petition. The meeting of the 4th of August was held at the instance of Mr. Vigors. It was held that Mr. Vigors might, in my presence, announce to Raphael that, so soon as the last of the 1,0001. was expended, he would abandon the contest.' We discussed thd matter fully. It was finally arranged by Raphael that Vigors, adopting, as he always fully did, my contract as binding on' bim, was bound not to relinquish the seats as long as they could possibly be contested ; but he soon admitted 'that although Vigors was bound to pay all the expenses as long as he saw any prospect of a successful issue, he was not bound to continue the contest after ex pending the 1,0001., and that when he had no adequate motive to expend more money he was under no obligation to go further. If Raphael afterwards employed an agent and counsel of his own, he did so upon the most explicit understanding that he had no claim upon any person for his voluntarily choosing to do so. Such were the facts of the case. If I were disposed to act as harshly towards this man as he deserves, I could point out in his publication twenty in stances of utter falsehoods or gross perversions of fact ; but I may content myself with recalling to your recollection the paragraph I quoted in my first letter—a paragraph of six _ lines, containing 'one dozen of what I call falsehoods. A word of one syllable would be more appropriate. But I cannot conclude without protesting against the treacherous practice of publishing letters written in that careless and confidential way which results from the belief that what one writes can never meet the public eye. It is only in cases of crime that it is permitted to use such let ters, 'and then only by third persons. ,But where can this man find an excuse for his depravity of publishing my note of the 21st of June, telling him of his return, and adding " my communication is from a Ca binet Minister—but this is private." That note—making no part of any charge, accusation, or even insinuation against me—he publishes, although it is expressly said in it " this is private." Is he ever again to be admitted into civilised society ? But he has no feeling of a gentleman to restrain him, and I notice the publication of that letter, not to bring a blush of shame into, his cheek, which would be impossible, but to account for the accident by which I was informed of the return by a Cabinet Minister. The 21st of June was Sunday. Of course no private letters were delivered that day ; but I was aware that the returns of the officers of police from all the counties in Ire land, in which any disturbance or excitement existed, were received at the Irish Office on Sunday. I happened to meet one of the Ministry, with whom I was acquainted long be fore he was in the Cabinet, and continued to have that ho nour while I was in violent opposition. I asked him if there was a police report that day from Carlow, and whether it mentioned the state of the election? He said there was, and that it stated that, Raphael and Vigors were returned. then wrote the private note to Raphael, which he has published, and thereby, as he intended, excited the calumz nious comments of the Tory press. Men of Carlow—honest and patriotic men of Carlow—l again implore your pardon for having recommended such a man to your favour. He has exhibited a malignant meanness which makes me deeply deplore everhaving entertained even a neutral opinion of him. We will forget him for ever. Need I say that his object in calumniating me is obvious, but he will be disappointed ? He has exhausted his prospects on the side of liberal opinions, and he wants to qualify himself for the Tory ranks, but he is mistaken. They have faithless and false beings enough-of their own ;he is not wanted. I conclude, having demonstrated that this man has no cause* to complain ; that the money he paid was much less than his moiety of the legal and ordinary expenses ; and that if he had not been the very basest of human beings he never would have published his letter—a letter intended merely to pander to the bad passions of the Tory party—who, how ever, find it impossible to render it available. • His stupid malignity suggested to him that he had an important Ms covery to make. His story, after all, is but the idiot's tale, and really signifies nothing.—l have the honour to be, fellow-countrymen, your faithful servant, DANIEL O'CONNELL.• TO THE ELECTORS of the COUNTY of CARLOW. Gentlemen,—l have read, without surprise, Mr. O'Con nell's very elegant and gentlemanly address to you, pur porting to be a reply to mine of the 20th ult. As there seems to be no doubt that the transactions between that individual and myself will become the subject of Parlia mentary inquiry, I shall not enter into any further contro versy on the subject, particularly as. I profess myself utterly incompetent to compete with him in language which I have ever been, and I trust ever shall be, incapable of using. I shrink not from investigation before a tribunal where .facts, not assertions, however audacious, will prove to whom the epithets " vagabond," " faithless creature," and ",a mighty great liar," arc most applicable. I will only add, that notwiLlistandino• Mr. O'Connell's " guarantee, in the fullest sense of the honourable engage- Ment, that I should not possibly be required to pay one shilling more in any event, or upon any.contingeney what soever," I have been called upon to pay, and have paid, upwards of 1,1001. in addition to the 2,000/. towards the expenses of opposing the " petition against the return," and there are other claims still unsettled. I deny that I have been guilty of any breach of confi dence in publishing the correspondence ;'no secrecy was imposed, nor was any necessary, that I am aware o f ; and had Mr. O'Connell performed his engagement, or expressed any regret at not being able to do so, I of course should not have published that which would have been matter of na importance to any but ourselves. As it is, he has himself THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16,- only to thank for this additional exposure of his mode of fUlfilling his " honourable engagements."

COURT CIRCULAR. Directions have been received at Kensington Palace to prepare the Duchess of Kent's and the Princess Victoria's apartments, as their Royal Highnesses may be expected to return there from ►Ramsgate i❑ December. The accounts of their Royal Highnesses are very good. The Princess Victoria has recovered from her late indisposition, and the statement which has appeared in some of the Papers, that her Royal Highness has suffered from weakness in her ankles, and required to be wheeled about, is without any foundation whatever. • The Church Commission sat on Saturday in Great George-street. The Archbishop of Canterbury; the Mar quis of Lansdowne, Viscount Melbourne, Lord John Rus sell, the Right Hon. T. Spring Rice, and other members of the Commission, were present. The meeting broke up at four o'clock. A deputation, including Messrs.. Hale and Croker, visited Viscount Melbourne on Saturday afternoon, in Downing-street. - - M. de Bourquency,. the French Charge d'Affaires, tran sacted business on Saturday at the Foreign-office. Mr. Spring Rice entertained Lprd Glenelg, Sir John Hobhouse, and the Solicitor-General, at dinner on Satur day evening, at his residence at Dulwich. Lord Holland entertained Viscount Howick, Lord and Lady John Russell, and .a small party at dinner on Friday evening, at Holland House, Kensington. Count Sebastiani, the French Ambassador, was expected to leave Paris yesterday for London. BRIGHTON-SUNDAY. Their Majesties, the Princess Augusta, Prince Geo rge , and Prince Ernest, attended Divine Service this morning, in the Palace Chapel. The Countess of Brownlow was the Lady in Waiting, and the Rev. T. F. Foord Bowes, Deputy Clerk of the Closet in Waiting. Prayers were read by the Rev. Dr. Everard, assisted by the Rev. H. M. Wagner, who also preached an excellent and impressive sermon, from Ecclesiastes - , chap. ix., verses. 14 and . 15. The choir, for the first time, sung Boyce's Te Deum, and chaunted the Jubilate. His Majesty, accompanied by Prince Ernest, drove out this afternoon on the Lewes road. • The Queen had ordered her carriage to be in readiness, but owing to the gloomy appearance of the weather, rain falling at intervals, her Majesty did not quit the Palace. The King gave audience this 'morning to Sir Frederick Lamb and Lieut.-General Sir W. Houston. - . To-morrow, at twelve o'clock, the Landgravine, accom panied by Mademoiselle Stein, will leave the Palace on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Mayo, at Bognor. Colonel Sir Neil Douglas and Major-Genaral Sir Charles Pratt called at the Palace to-day. Yesterday afternoon the Duchess of Gloucoster and Lady Falkland walked from the Palace, without any attendants, to•the Chain Pier, where her Royal Highness continued her walk for about an hour. The Princess Augusta, ac companied by Miss Wynyard, walked out yesterday after noon on the Steine. Prince Ernest joined the promenaders on the Marine Paride. Lord Ashbrook, who has been here as Lord in Waiting, leaves the Palace to-morrow. _ Shortly before three o'clock, yesterday afternoon, their Majesties drove out on the road towards Portsladc, extend ing their drive to Shoreham. They. were greeted with every possible mark of respect. Prince George, accompanied by several gentlemen of the Royal suite, joined the East Sussex fox hunteri, and fol lowed the hounds for a considerable distance. Lord Valletort quited the Palace yesterday morning for London. The Earl and Countess of Jersey, and Lieut.-General Sir W. Houstoun (who arrived yesterday), dined with their Majesties yeiterday evening. THE THEATRES. GOVENT-GARDEN. A new piece, The Mill of Berezina, was produced at this theatre on Saturday night. A brave Russian soldier, having been drawn by a cowardly comrade into an act of desertion, escapes to an unfrequented village on the Bere zina, where he, in time, wins and marries the daughter of a wealthy miller. His comrade becomes a vagabond. Some years after his settlement, his old Colonel, Count Roma no', being on a journey to St. Petersburgh, arrives at the village, and in his short pause tlee're is captivated by the sister of our soldier's wife. The vagabond deserter arrives at the same time with some brother rascals; and determines to murder the Count for the sake of his money. The miller soldier is persuaded to consent to the crime, lest he should be discovered and punished on the old score of desertion, This interesting plot is discovered by Romano r inamo rata, and he being apprised of his danger, sends off his servant for help to the nearest garrison. Meantime he has to depend for his safety on his own coolness and courage. .Romang," insists on his .hostess lighting him to his bed chamber, and when her husband follows with the mur derers, he succeeds in keeping them at bay by holding a pistol to the poor lady's head, and threatening to shoot her on their first hostile movement. He does this certainly with all imaginable •coolness—cOmpelling the innocent although half kilted by terror alone, to sing the while ! The husband, completely subdued by this very unexpected stratagem, succeeds for a time in keeping back the mur derers. Their patience is, however, soon exhausted, and, after a considerable display of movement stuffed with horrid import, they are about to rush on to their work when the Count's fair friend comes with a troop of soldiers to the rescue, and turns the tables on the robbers. The Count, thus saved, makes the amcnde to his hostess by assuring her that, however she might have died of fright from his pistol she could have received no injury, as it was unloaded. Her husband is pardoned all, and restored as an officer to the service, and Romano," gives his hand to his protectress. There was a time when such a piece, destitute of any but most vulgar attraction, would have met with'a very sum mary condemnation at this house. It was, however, on this occasion applauded. L Y CEUM. On Saturday night was repeated a new farcical entertain ment, in one act, produced here on the previous evening, called Stage Struck, which was received with considerable approbation. Its plot turns upon the perversity of Mr. Stubborn (Mr. Ayliffe) so ardently attached to theatricals as to educate his only child Juliet (Miss P. Horton) for the sage. The - piece is said to be the production of Mr. T. Arnold, a son of the proprietor. The farce was preceded by the performances of the two Masters Collins on the vio lin and violoncello, which, for such juvenile performers— the eldest being but nine years of age—were indeed extra ordinary. They were received with great eclat. NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE ELECTION. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. William Hanllury, of Kelmarsh, in this county, and of Stobden Court, Herefordshire, arrived at the George Hotel, in this town, about eight o'clock last . evening, and almost immediately decided on becoming a candidate for the repre sentation of the Northern Division of this county. Mr. Hanbury being a gentleman possesied of considerable wealth, and having also great local influence, promises to be an op ponent as formidable to Thomas Philip Maunsell, the Tory candidate, as any one could wish ; and the probability is, that the latter will be left considerably behind on the poll, although he will have had the advantage of a four ,days' canvas. Mr. Hanbury has already been in Parliament ; he repre sented this town in 1:807 and in 1812. He was also a can didate with the late Lord Milton, against Lord Brudenell, and another Tory named Thomas Tryon, in 1832, for the same Division of the county as that for which he is now again about to stand. I send you the state of the poll on that occasion at its close, which alone would be a sufficient guarantee of the good position in which Mr. Hanbury stands with the constituency of North Northamptonshire : Lord Milton 1,562 Lord Brudenell William Hanbury Thomas Tryon • 1,2G9 Thus it will be seen that Lord Brudenell was only 86 above Mr. Hanbury, who, however, was 186 above the.other Tory, candidate. Till. the last. day of the poll, the Liberals were nearly three to one above their opponents ; and it was only by plumping with a reserved force, that the Tories were enabled to bring in one of their candidates. At the last election Lords Milton and Brudenell were returned w ithout opposition ; but the vaunted progress of Conservatism has 'for some time past haunted the fiery imagination of Mr. Maunsell, and he ..aecordinely a short time since, at the Peterborovh Association dinner, declared' it to be his in tention to give the electors of North Northamptonshire an opportunity of having—what he had the assurance to say they so much needed—another Conservative re p r esentative. ‘ M. M. also made a simil a r declaration at the last Corpo ration dinner given in this town, in a spech noted for its being a " compound of ignorance, violence, and bigotry." It was but yesterday that the Northampton Herald jeered the Reformer s a t th e i r b e i n g un : hi e to bring a man into the field, and sa id, " W e d o no t n i t er tain a doubt of Mr. Maunsell achi ev i ng an eas y a nd p ir f ec t victory over any Radical Destructive that may be npdosed to him. But where is the opponent to be found ? The Radicals, con- trary to their usual foresight and alertnns, have been com pletely ' taken aback " &c. The q iestion that is so THE EMPEROR NICHOLAS. SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR NICHOLAS TO THE MUNICIPAL BODY OF WARSAW. " Gentlemen,—l know that you have wished to address me a Id am acquainted with the contents of your intended address ; bit, to spare you from delivering falsehood, I desire that it miy not be pronounced. Yes, Gentlemen, it is to save you from falsehood; for I know that your sentiments are not such as you wish to make me believe them to be. How can I put faith in them, when you held the same language to me on the, eve of the revolution? Are you not the same persons who talked to me five, and eight, years ago, of fidelity and devotedness, and made me the finest protestations of attachment, and--yet, in a very few days after, you violated your oaths, and committed the most violent actions ? The Emperor Alex ander; who did more for you than an Emperor of Russia ought to have done, who heaped benefits upon you, who favoured you more than hie own subjects, and who rendered your nation the most flourishing and happy—the Emperor Alex ander was treated with the blackest ingratitude. You never could make yourselves contented with your most advantageous position, and in the end became the destroyers of your own happiness. I thus tell you the truth in order to throw a true light upon our relative positions, and that you may know upon what you_ have to depend, for lam now seeing and speaking to you for the first time since the disturbances. Gentlemen, we require actions, and not mere words ; repentance should come from the heart ; I speak to you without anger, and you must perceive that I am perfectly calm ; I have no rancour, and I will do you good even in spite of yourselves. The Mar shal who stands before you fulfils my intentions, seconds all my views, and also watches for your welfare. (At these words the members of the deputatiofi bowed to the Marshal.) Well, Gentlemen, but whit signifies these salutations ? The first duty is to perform one's duties, and conduct ourselves like honest men. You have,. Gentlemen, to choose between two alternatives—either to persist in your illusions as to an indepen dent kingdom of Poland; or to live tranquilly as faithful subjects under my Government. If you persist in your dreams of a distinct nationality, of the independence of Poland, and of all these chimeras, you will only draw down upon yourselves still greater misfortunes. I have raised this citadel, and I declare that on the slightest insurrection I will cause its cannon to thunder upon the city. Warsaw shall be destroyed, and cer tainly shall never be rebuilt in my time. Is is painful to me to speak thus to you—it is always painful to a Sovereign to treat his subjects thus, but Ido it for your own good. It is for you, Gentlemen, to deserve an oblivion of the past; it is only by your obedience to my Government that you can obtain this. I know that there is a correspondence with abroad, and that mischievous writings are sent here fur the purpose of per verting the minds of the people. The best police in the world, witt such a frontier as yours, cannot prevent clan destine relations. It is for you to exercise your own police, and keep the evil away. It by bringing up your chil dren properly, by instilling into them the principles of religion and fidelity to their Sovereign, that you can keep in the right path. Among all the disturbances which agitate Europe, and all those doctrines which shake the social edifice, Russia alone has remained strong and intact. Believe me, Gentlemen, that it is a real blessing to belong to this country, and enjoy its protection. • If you conduct yourselves well, if you perform all your duties, my paternal solicitude will be extended over you, and, notwithstanding what has passed, my Government will always watch over your welfare. Remember well all that I have now said to you." WEST INDIA COMPENSATION. (From the Times.) SATURDAY.-It was stated a short time since that th. - Commissioners for West India Compensation had con sented to wave their order, which required a peculiar power of attorney to be s,ent in for the payment of the awards, and that they would receive the common affidavit, being anxious not to throw any difficulty in the way of the prompt settle ment of the adjusted claims. It has now, however, tran spired,,that they have adopted another plan, which, in most cases, is calculated wholly to frustrate their intention. Though they no longer object to pay on the common, or what they term " refective" affidavit, they require the va lidity of each to be guaranteed by two London bankers. This makes the matter worse than before. Those who are in a position to ask such a favour from their bankers will, it is supposed, decline doing so, and will prefer waiting until they can get the special form filled up, while those who cannot expect such a favour, and many there are, no doubt, who do not even know two bankers sufficiently well to ask such a thing, will be compelled to wait three or four months before they receive their money, the interest upon which for that time will, of course, be totally lost to them. The Lon. don bankers, on their part, cannot besides be expected to accede to such a regulation, for how can they, who have little or no connexion with the West Indic's, be able to de termine whether such and such affidavits are valid or not? This mode, it is rumoured, has been adopted by the advice of counsel ; but the advice of a merchant would be a better guide on these occasions than that of lawyers. It has been . remarked - .by persons usually engaged in large money tran sactions, that within these few days the effects are begin ning to show themselves of a return into the circulation of the money raised for the West India compensation. Of the loan it is ascertained that above 12,000,000/. out of 15,000,0001. has now been paid up. (From the Morning Herald.) SATURDAY.--Much increased activity has prevailed to day in our Money-Market, and the firmness now exhibited in the prices of British Securities may fairly b.e attri buted to the increasing confidence which prevails gene rally, and also amongst our monetary interests, in the vast resources of this . country, and the general opinion that State policy will secure peace to Europe and Ame rica. From_ the very great briskness that has lately pre- Nailed in -the export trade of London: which, however, has been chiefly confined to bonded foreign produce, it is also considered that the balance of that particular do scription of commerce has been so much in favour of this country that the foreign exchanges are likely to rule in our favour for some time. The lamentable condition of our agriculturists, who have been sacrificed to support the theories of the free traders and the bullionists, is, neverthe less, exciting very general attention, as it becomes evident that ,the home trade must soon suffer from the non-con suming position of the agricultural population. It is now understood that .the Omnium of the West India Compen sation. Loan has been paid up in full to the amount of 12,200,000/. by the . subscribers to the loan, in order to avail themselves of the large discount granted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; and this fact accounts for the ready manner in which the brokers and jobbers have been able to serve the Chancery broker, whenever lie has made his ap pearance in the market to purchase Stock ; but it is the general impression that the practical financial lesson which this circumstance affords will prevent future Chancellors of the Exchequer from making loan bargains with a discount, at any rate with one so favourable to the subscribers, which is clearly demonstrated by the nominal price of Omnium be ing still at 4 per cent pm. Money has been very easy to day, and the premium upon the unfunded debt has advanced to 15 16 on large bills, and to 14 16 on small. PAnts, Nov. 14.—The Court of Assize is at this moment occupied with another of those extraordinary trials which so frequently occur in this country to as tonish and horrify the public. The principal criminal, whose name is Laconaire, is described as having been a mereantile*,traveller, but to have occupied his izure in writing republican songs, inditing levelling articles for the Boa Seas and Rcroiniatenr, and even constructing vaude villes and other dramatic pieces in conjunction with the celebrated M. Scribe. Having been committed for some former offence to the great central prison of Poissy, be seems to have been at great pains in selecting from among his fellow-prisoners such miscreants as from their utter recklessness and audacity were the best fitted for the 'commission of a series of the most frightful crimes that were ever disclosed in a court of justice. For two of these crimes be and two of his accomplices are now under trial. The first is for the murder in open 'day, in the midst of Paris, of a man of the name of Chardon, and his ; mother, who were suspected of having obtained a large sum from the Queen for the purpose or founding an old man's hospital. The other is for an attempt to as sassinate the receivjng clerk of M. 'Mallet, the banker, who had been induced to send the clerk to Laconaire's lodging, to receive payment of a draft ingeniously con trived for the purpose of leading into the snare a person who, on particular days of the month, was likely to have large sums of money about his person. After being des perately wounded, however, the clerk made such a resis tance and outcry as to alarm the house, and compel the assassins to seek for safety in flight. They 'mute their es cape for the moment, but were afterwards retaken. La conaire has conducted himself in the most extraordinary manner in the course of the trial. Utterly regardless of his own life, he' takes the greatest deli-ht in the misery and trepidation of his accomplices, and lends the most ac tive assistance to the council fer the Crown and the witnesses for .the prosecution hi eliciting evidence for the purp ose of convicting - them. He seems to have sat to the dramatist for the character of Robert Macaire, which has, had such a run at one of the theatres on the Boule vards.. He now knows perfectLy that he cannot escape the hands of the executioner, and when not in court his time is constantly occupied in writing his memoirs, which are to appear, it is said, on the day of his execution. lie has reckoned the very hour of his condemnation, and the length of the interval which must afterwards elapse before it is carried into execution, and declares that he w ill. not avail hilself of the benefit of the appeal to which all con \ acts are entitled, and of which, for the benefit of the re spite, almost all reduced to such an extremity are tempted to avail themselves. 1 (From the Messager oz PARIS, Nov. 14.—The Sentinelle does not en.,.— same opinion as the Indicateur respecting the fiaancial em barrassments of Don Carlos. It has a letter from the frontiers of 9th November to the following effect :—" The army of the Prptenderis going to be entirely clothed for the winter season. Contracts have been made for the supply of a large quantity of cloth.' The Carlist company in the garrison of Zugarramurdi received last week cloth sufficient to make a complete suit for each man. • There seems to be money in abundance. Contractors for horses have even received their payment in advance ; never up to this time have the finances of Don Carlos appeared to be so flourishing. " The Christinos seem to have al)andoned for so ne timc the hope of occupying those parts of Navarre are next to the French frontier. All the provisions wii:eh been collected at a great expense at Ainhoa, have just been brought back to Bayonne." AFrench Journal is about to be published at 111adr:d. The editor is a French advocate, said to be a man of great talents. The Debit's says the Chambers will be con . Volled for the beginning of January. The Courricr Francai s m en ti ons the 12th January as the day for their meetincr. • - Detachments of artillery and engineers continue to be sent to Port Vendres to be. embarked. Foreign ships have been freighted for the c onveyance of the horses of the military equipages that are to be employed in the expedi tion of Oran. (From the Courier Francais.) It is stated that the tiers parti are preparing to make a proposition, in the next session of the Chambers, for the re-instatement of Marshal Ney in his reputation and honour, in the same manner as has been done in Spain with regard to General Riego. ( From Galignani's Messenger. ) General Allard has left' Paris for Salnt Tropez, where he will remain several months, before he returns to India. He had an audience of leave of the King, who has corCer red upon him the title of Agent for France at the Court of Lahore, and delivered to him letters of credence to Runjeet Sing in that character. This letter is written in the Eastern style, upon a large skin of parchment orna mented with gold, and having affixed the Great Seal im pressed with gold. The whole is enveloped in - a silk bag, exquisitely embroidered. The Minister for Foreign Affairs has also written to the favourite Secretary of Runjeet Sing a letter, which is likewise enclosed in silk and gold. Ge neral Allard has been supplied, by the Government, with numerous models of improvements made in all kinds of arms during the last twenty years, which he intends to adopt for the army he commands in India. The National says that, from the letter of Mr. Li vingstone, addressed to the Duke de Broglie before he left Paris, it appears, as was said beforehand by this journal, that the American Constitution does not admit of any other means of making satisfaction for . the words of Gen ral Jackson, than by his modifying or explaining them in his 'next message to Congress, the President's speech being looked upon as that of a private individual, over which the Congress has no power. M. de Broglie, when he accepted the amendment of M. Valaze, ought to have explained to the Chambers what sort of satisfaction might be expected. Things, therefore, have come to this point, that unless General Jackson, in his next speech to Con g ress, explains his former words, the French Government leaves to the American the responsibility of beginning the measures of action by which it intends forcing the accomplishment of the treaty, and no one who knows General Jackson can expect that he will do anything of the ki4. (From the Journal des Debats.) 'The address of the Emperor Nicholas to the Municipal body of Warsaw, is a very strange affair, and we cannot re frain from suspecting that it • was some secret friend of Poland who invented it. What can the Emperor Nicholas mean by such words ? What can be his intention or his aim ? Is it Europe he thus addresses, ,or Poland ? He could not but know that his words would soon resound through Out Europe, since he takes care to state that he knows of correspondence existing between Poland and the west of Europe. We look iii vain for the Poten'tate's aim, for we cannot possibly look upon his address as merely the angry burst of a despot irritated to indiscretion. 'Hitherto we had quite another idea of the Emperor of Russia. We considered him as enlightened, sage, patient, clever ; and though we reuarded him as the adversary of western Eu rope; and the foe of English and French liberty, we still were inclined to think highly of his talents of governing. We frequently denounced the ambition of Russia, and even then revealed a hidden admiration for the fortunes of the empire, and the skill with which it was conducted. Must we abandon this idea'? Are we compelled- to behold in the Emperor Nicholai a Prince beneath his station, the blind slave of his own or his people's hatred, uttering or flattering the old hatred of-the Russian for the - Pole, and demeaning himself rather as the head of a savage tribe, than as the Monarch of an extended empire. The discourse of the Czar is calculated. to revolt every generous heart. The outrageousness of it is of the coarsest kind. It is old Russia bursting again through the thin coat of civilization which so narrowly covered it. The barbarism of it savours even of the time before Peter the Great. After such a discourse, St. Petersburgh is far too civilized a resi dence for the Czar. He should.repair to Moscow, and hide himself in the Kremlin, in the old castle of Ivan the Fourth. Neither the palace of Catherine, nor even the cabi❑ where Peter the Great dwelt when he built St. Petersburgh, c m suit a prince who speaks. of levelling cities, and leaving nothing but ruins behind him. And besides, when one thinks 'to whom this outrage was addressed—to how generous a nation, how unfortunate, and how conquered. But there is consolation, nevertheless, in this avowal, extracted in choler from the conqueror of , Poland. Gallant Poles, the burden of your national hymb, which declares that " Poland, ee►erished land, has not yet perished," has some truth in it. The soil impregnated with the blood shed for independence, yet palpitates. The pulse of pa triotism beats yet within its trampled bosom ; and it is the victor, the tyrant,, who tells us so. Why, we thought Poland was no more, or survived but in the melancholy' exiles who had escaped the executioner. But we were wrong. 'lle oppressor himself attests that there still is a Poland, and the murderer is forced to bear witness, in his rage, that the victim, which he could not kill, still breathes. One might have believed, seeing. a deputation . of Poles salute the Emperor, That there were some of the nation who accepted his yoke. The Emperor Nicholas tells us that this is all a lie—the addresses, the vows of fidelity, false. They are Poles, we Russian—they hate us irrevocably, and no sentiments can exist between .us, save those of hatred and revenge. Poland. speaks untruth in saying she . submits,—untruth, when she promises to be faithful. Re sistance is still the deepest thought of the heart : and insur rection, the eternal duty and hope of the morrow. The Emperor of Russia tells us so. One might have supposed that during the last four years the Russians had gained some influence at Warsaw—that the Governor-General had conciliated some minds—that he is less detested, more respected. The Emperor of Russia knows the contrary, and he tells the world so. He knows that when the Poles salute a Russian field-marshal it cannot be in sincerity. He knows that Poland cannot repent of what she has done ; and this irritates the Despot, who would set up his power in the place of religion, and tells those who have denied it, to repent. Repent, indeed !. Should Poland repent of having thrice made an effort to revive : of having beaten the Russians and shaken their empire to its foundation ? Let her repent of her heroism, and then she may find favour with the Czar. But up to this moment the sentiment which benumbs mortal courage, and which makes cowards of mankind, has not touched the Polish heart. No ; Poland does not repent ! Thanks to Providence which gives her spirit, and to the Emperor who proclaims it aloud ! Poland has not abdicated her nationality nor her hopes of redemption. These arc net confined to her exiles ; they are cherished in Warsaw's self, under the Russian cannon, and under the menaces of the Emperor. Nor is Poland shut out, as one might suppose, from Europe. The Russian Police, vigilant, able, and severe, cannot prevent the connection and communication subsisting between Po land and her exiled sons. We were wont to lament over the darkness and the silence which hung over PolanJ, and over the impenetrable wall which surrounded her. But, without. reason, the Emperor of Russia tells us that Poland corresponds with lands of liberty ; and that words of hope and consolation reach her from without. In this picture of Poland, drawn by the Emperor of Russia, we can wee nothing *calculated to • alarm Europe, or to discourage the Polish exiles. They ought, on the contrary, to thank Lis Imperial Majesty for the tes timony which he has borne.' The Deputies of Warsaw ought especially to thank him for uttering for them the sentiments which filled their hearts, but which they durst not speak. They may now say to him—" We should have deceived you in addressing you as our sovereign. We are not, and we will not be, Russians. We are still an independent nation, recognised by European trea ties. Three times slaughtered, betrayed, dismembered, we have never - acquiesced in our ruin, nor abandoned the consciousness of our riOlt. This conviction, this achnow lodgment of our right, you, yourself, Sire, have.under the form of remorse—and that is the true reason why, during 30 years, you have done your utmost to kill and to op press us. You tell us it is happiness to belong to Russia. We know this happiness only by the massacre' of our bre thren, the devastation of our country, and such mena?.cs and destruction as those you have just uttered. As to the solidity of Russia, we know, that though few in number, without arms or resources, we still shook your emp:re, and that the shock of our very defeat still troubles one power, and drives you from that calmness and modcra- 1.--~. to Europe, you utter, without be*Lig executioner."

DOVER, Nov. 13.—The City of Londonderry steamer has Just arrived off this harbour, being engaged to receive the remains of the late Earl of Charleville, for the purpose of conveying it, together with the hearse, mourning coaches, carriages, and horses to Dublin ; bat the vessel being two hours beyond its appointed time, the tide did not serve so as to enable it to approach near enough, when, after considerable delay, it was deemed advisable for the procession and ship to proceed to Ramsgate. The removal of the body from the Marine Parade was attended by the present Earl of Charleville, as chief mourner ; the Duke of Wellington, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports ; Lord F. Somerset, the Earl of Guilford, the Lieutenant-Governor of Dover Castle, Lady Pulteney, Mr: rector, M.P., the Mayor, Sir J. Bridges, Captain Boxer, and many of the most respectable inhabitants. On its arr:val at Dublin it will he conveyed to the family vault near Charleville Cas tle, in King's County, where his Lordship possessed large tracts of land, which were granted from "the Crown early in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, to his ancestor, the cele brated Sir Thomas Moore, whose brother was ancestor of the Marquis of Drogheda. Sir Thomas Moore's heir and descendant in the fifth degree was John Moore, of Croghan, Esq., created in. 171.5 Baron Moore, of Tullanioore, whose son Charles was-created Earl of Charlevillc in 1758 ; ha died without isspe in 1764, and the titles became extinct. On his monument is the following expressive_ inscription "be was descended from the Moores of Croghati, • Au ancient and an honest house; Ile had few faults; not one vice, and many virtues." His sister Jane married William Bury, Esq., had issue five sons and four daughters ; John, the eldest - son, married Catherine, daughter and . co-heiress of Francis Sadlier, Esq., by whom (who married, secondly, Henry Lord Dunalley) he left an only child, Charles William, who succeeded to the estates of his great uncle, Charles Moore, Earl of Charleville ; was created Baron Tullamore in 1797, Vis count Charleville in. 1800, and Earl of Charleville, of Charleville Forest, King's County, in .1806. This was the late Earl, who was distinguished as an elegant and classical scholar and wi iter, held in high estimation among literary and scientific men, and for many years President of the Royal Irish Academy, and F.R.S. ; he wrote many learned papers on various subjects ; he was pre-eminently distin guished for his high honour and unflinching integrity ; staunch supporter of the Protestant cause, following the noble example of his ancestors for many generations. In the more intimate connections of social life, he rendered himself sincerely beloved, and his relatives, friends, and servants, mourn him individually as a parent. His Lord ship was a Representative Peer in the Parliament of the United Kingdom, born 30th June, 1764, married 4th June, 1798, Catherine Maria, only daughter and heiress of Thomas Townley. Dawson, Esq., and - widow of James Tisdall, Esq., by whom he had issue Charles William Lord Tullamore, the present Earl or Charleville, who married Beaujolais Harriet Charlotte, daughter of Colonel John and Lady Charlotte, Campbell. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.—The Scotch provincial papers bring us sundry accounts of municipal elections, which show the Tories have been making vigorous exertions to increase their strength in the Town Councils, and have succeeded in some Cases. So far as this is accomplished by legitimate means—by fair canvassing, and diligence in mus tering and bringing their partisans to the poll, it is liable to no objection ; but. it will be observed that the party have been at their old tricks. Promises, threats, intimida tion, have been employed, and the brutalising excitement of drink administered. The Tories have indeed some right to despise the people, since they trust to a species of influence by which only the-depraved, and cowardly can be gained. At the back of the altar of Lincoln Cathedral lies the body of Michael Honeywood, one of 367 persons whom Alarv, wife of Robert Honeywood, of Kent, ancestor of the late M.P. for the county, lived to see lawfully descended from her ; viz., 16 of her own body, 114 grand-children, 9.•2S great-grand-ciiildren ; in all 367 persons; 313 of whom followed her to the grave.—Ant Herald.
