ock, fatal goal of ancient ambition.—(Cheers andlaughter.) In all this there would seem no very shackled or sickly use of the prerogative ; never did it wear a lustier appearance. But,says the first council of Wakefield, the King's un questionable right to choose his own advisers is unconstitu tionally assailed. What !—did the Radicals rush to arms ? Did the Destructives lay hold of torches ? Was Birming ham in array, or London in flames ? Listen to Sir Robert Peel. What does he declare at the Mansion-house ? " It is impossible to deny that since the occurrence of the important events that have taken place within the last six weeks, there has been a calm and tranquillity in this country which, after the political excitement in which we have lived for some time past, could not have been anticipated. If the present Ministry obtain a majority in the ensuing Parliament, I shall oppose what I think wrong, I shall sup port what I think right, but I shall offer no factious or wanton opposition to the conduct of public business.— (Hear, hear.) If they have not a majority, any one who understands the working of our constitution, before or after the Reform Bill, will admit that they must sooner or later give way to . the party that has it.--(Cheers.) If, after twenty years' tenure of office, twenty years of undisputed pre-eminence and unrivalled service to the Protestant reli gion and dynasty, Sir Robert Walpole was compelled reluc tantly to yield before a majority of one, why is the sense of the nation not to operate in a similar way on Sir Robert Peel ?—(Cheers.) My duty will be to shrink from no improvement which can give to all classes, Churchman and Dissenter, high and low, rich and poor, a fuller and readier command over the blessings of Divine bounty, and the benefits of social institutions. It is, I conceive, with as close a care for the humbler as the loftier interests of society, that while I disclaim all the characters of an exclusive politician, I quite as vehemently repudiate the title and designs of a Destructive.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Of our political opponents I ever wish to speak without disrespect, as I should meet them without alarm ; contest on this occasion I would not wantonly court, but should willingly confront—(cheers)—come when and how it may. From all I hear and see, around, beneath, the breath of con quest fans our golden banner—(cheers)—the Anti Re former may call " back," the Alarmist may cry " halt," the Anarchist may shout " plunder ;" avoiding alike the lag ging crawl, and the precipitate rush, the motto of our steady march is " Forward I ."—(applause)—it is the path of safety when we see the moving masses on every side of us ; it is the path of duty, as long as we have no interest but our country's, no object but human happiness, no homage but for virtue.—(The Noble Lord concluded amidst loud sheering.) Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND, Bart., was received with loud cheering. He said,—Gentlemen, it does not appear to me that the Administration now formed is much improved by the First Lord of the Treasury, Sir Robert Peel, who has published a manifesto to prove that he is not an apos tate, and that through a thousand inconsistencies, he has been a consistent R e former.—(Laughter.) Gentleman, no man at all acquainted wit the history of Sir Robert Peel's life, can suppose for one moment that he is a Reformer at all, and whatever may be his proftssions, his measures will fall short of the wishes of the people.—lear, hear.) Tlie Hon. Baronet then entered into a detailed statement of his reasons for generally supporting the late Ministry. (The Hon.'Baronet concluded amidst great applause.) The SHERIFF again asked if any other elector had a can didate to propose ? and being answered in the negative, he took a show of hands, and declared Lord Viscount Morpeth and Sir Gerge Strickland, Bart., duly elected. At this moment, CHARLES WATERTON, Esq., spoke from the top of a stable opposite the hustings, and said—l wish to ask the two candidates whether, if elected, they will support the separation of Church and State ? Lord MoaFETH—Never.—(Cheers.) Mr. Waterton, without waiting for the reply of Sir G. Strickland, took the orange card which he held in his hand, and deliberately tore it in pieces, and scattered the pieces to the winds ; he then retired from the elevated position he had assumed, and left the meeting. The circumstance ex cited some sensation, but no expression either of approba tion or disapprobation. Lord MORPETII and Sir G. STRICKLAND briefly re turned thanks, and moved and seconded a vote of thanks to the Sheriff, who acknowledged the honour. The Members then entered a carriage and four and went round the town with music and banners. DERBYSHIRE, SOUTH. DERBY, JAN. 17.—The nomination of the candidates for the Southern division of the county of Derby took place this day, at the County Hall. Mr. EVANS, late M.P. for Leicester, proposed their old and tried Member, the Hon. George Vernon. It had been said that Mr. Vernon was indisposed and unable to serve them. As to the state of his health, he would read them a letter from Sir Stephen Hammick, a gentleman high in the medical profession, which would disabuse them entirely on that point. (Here Mr. Evans read the letter referred to, the substance of wiAch was, that the alarming accounts relative to Mr. Vernon's Lealth were without foundation, and that a few weeks in a wa:m climate would make him not only as well, but as equal as e v, - .‘r to the discharge of his Parliamentary duties.) He (Mr.;Eva;2s) would make no promises for Mr. Vernon—he would enter into no pledges for him. If his Hon. Friend were there, he would say, like Sir Robert Peel. " I do not claim your confiden,:! l for what I promise to do, but for what I have clone, and to: my known zeal and tried ability to serve you." - Mr. DAWSON, late M.P. for South Leicestershire, se conded the nomination. Mr. STRUTT, M.P. for Derby, proposed Lord Waterpark. Mr. M. GISBdRNE, M.P., seconded the nomination. Mr. E. MUNDY proposed Sir R. Gresley.—(Cheers and groans.) Mr. HASSELL seconded the nomination amidst loud clamour. ----- Mr. JOHN BALGUY proposed Sir G. Crewe.—(Cheers.) Mr. HURT seconded the nomination. Lord WaTERPAnx then presented himself to the meet ing amidst loud cheers, and said that in the absence of his friend and late colleague, Mr. Vernon, he claimed the pri vilege of priority in addressing them.—(Uproar, during the continuance of which the Noble Lord said, " I shall not go till you are quiet, if I stay here all night.") Lord Water park then stated that out of 2 2 4 divisions in the House given in the Mirror of Parliament, there were only 47 where both sides of the question were given, and out of the 175 which remained 169 contained the names of the minority only, so that there were 169 questions on which he might have voted with the majority. He believed he could g o through a great number of questions on which he voted,but - the time would not allow of it. After entering into a defence of some further particulars of his Parliamen tary conduct, the Noble Lord proceeded to say that he had no wish to shirk the Poor Law Bill which was pressed upon his attention. It was now the law of the land, and if it was oppressive, they might obtain redress from a Magistrate.—(Cries of "There's no redress to be had.") The Duke of Wellington, now their idol, had declared that it was the only good measure the Whigs, ever passed. He had been accused of having been a stanch supporter of the late Government. He admitted the charge, and if he were again returned to Parliament he was only sorry that he could not do so again. He had supported them because he thought they had the interests of the people at heart. When the Duke of Wellington quitted office he said that no further reductions could be made without injuring the civil services of the country ; yet in 4 years the Whigs had taken upwards of five millions of taxes off. If he were re turned to Parliament he should support any good measure that came. from the present Government, although he was afraid that the chance of obtaining them was small, and, as be had done before, he would serve them honostly and faithfully.—(Cheers.) Mr. GISBORNE, M.P., next addressed the meeting as the representative of Mr. Vernon. He remembered when the county sent only two members, that, for a long time, one seat was always filled by the representative of a noble family, at which he rejoiced, for their sentiments were in unison with his own ; and the title to the other was settled by a few country gentlemen, who met in the town, whether at the Bell or the Tiger he did not know—(uproar), in some little dirty back parlour suited to the occasion. These were then good old Tory times, when the duties of an Englishman were summed up in one single word of loyalty. Mr. Vernon was the first man who broke through that back parlour influence. He disdained to appeal to that small knot of men, and preferred paying his court to the ma jority of the independent electors. If that were his only claim to their gratitude,it ought never to be wiped from their recollec tion. Mr. Gisborne then went on to say, that he confidently expected to have to return thanks for the election of Mr. Vernon ; he had carefully inspected the returns of the Liberal candidates, and he believed that by a determined and simultaneous etrort, it was possible they might return both the Liberal candidates. It was in their power to place both the Liberal candidates at the head of the poll. Sir R. GRNSLEY was received with three cheers by his friends, but the groans and clamour of the opposite party were so overpowering that, finding all his endeavours to ob tain a hearing fruitless, the Hon. Baronet merely said, that the only answer ;:e had to make to all the objections di rected against him :vould be given at the close of the poll on Wednesday evening% Sir G. CREWE then presented himself. He pledged himself to support any measure which would go to dimi nish unfair public burdens, and he would vote for the re form of- every abuse in Church aad State which was op pressive to the-people—(Uproar.) The HIGH SHERiEr then called for the show of hands, which he declared was in favour of Mr. Vernon and Lord Waterpark, but few, except those who were on the hust ings, could have been electors. A poll was demanded for Sir R. Gresley ari;! Sir G. Crewe, which the 11;0 1 s.lieriff fixed for Tuesday and Weui nesday next. HEREFORD ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Well knowing the independence of your paper, I can not refrain from communicating to you the pleasing intelli gence that after a great struggle, we have returned two real Reformers for the county. The poll runs thus : Hoskins 3,008 Foley Price Poole Should you think this piece of information worthy of notice, please insert it in your very valuable journal. I should observe that it was the intention of the freeholders to return Mr. Foley —being what is termed a Liberal.—l am, &c. Ross, Jan. 17, 1835. G. W. HEREFORD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—Trimpha; at has been the defeat by the noble and independent electors of this county, of the mean and insidious devices of a faction inimical to the cause of civil and religious liberty, to oust from its representation its long, able, and con sistent advocate, Sir Robert Price--yet, at the same time, it is painful to reflect by whom the design was originated, and by what contemptible artifices it has been abetted. To the Clergy (as to a very preponderating majority of them,) col lectively and individually, are we to look as the more promi nent and active agents in this unhallowed device—tho very existence of which was hardly known till the very day of nomination, when the three late representatives (once more happily restored to us as our Members) were expected to be returned unopposed and unchanged. Active as the workings of this wretched cabal are now know to have been carried on, yet so secretly were they planned and pursued, that the explosion of the plot, like the unexpected irruption of a cataract, or an avalanche, was the first intimation to numbers of the electors of its very being ! The emissaries of the Church—its principals and its subor dinates, of all grades—had been for weeks secretly in action, using all the arts of intimidation amongst its tenantry, appeal ing to every insulting menace to forbid the tender of a single vote of its dependents and retainers, down even to the poor parochial sexton and gravedigger, not in favour of their anti reform and anti-liberal proteg6. In spite of every effort, this county has done its duty nobly, honourably, and independently —showing that it will never submit to the subjugation of into lerant bigotry, or become the rotten borough of ignorant priesteraft, or of Tory domination. The feelings of mortification and resentment that this humi liating defeat has excited, may be better conceived than de scribed ; and long will it be before the remembrance of it will be forgotten, or, we trust, cease itself to be a lesson of warn ing and of fear, to those who have projected, as they have prosecuted, this base and underhand desire against the freedom and independence of our county. Your obedient servant, Jan. 17, 1835. VINDEX. P. S. The Cheltenham Free Press has, with its usual tact, thus correctly appreciated this Tory-Church device in its re cently published Number, under the head of " Herefordshire Election :—Despite the blue-black efforts of a corrupt band of politico-clerical Tories, to raise an opposition to Sir Robt. Price, this patriotic and long tried reformer has been trium phantly returned by the independent and enlightened electors of the county. We cannot too warmly congratulate the intel ligence of Herefordshire on this signal defeat of a factious and brawling sanhedrim, whose feudal bigotry and indecent political virulence so grossly outrage the first precept and pure spirit of that Christian Ministry of which they profess to be m- t, ertwers. WEST SOMERSET. • The people have again triumphed in this county. The for mer Liberal Members, Messrs. Sanford and Tynte, have been again returned by a great majority, in the face of the Tory aristocracy and money of the county. The contest has been most desperate. On the one side was the wealth, the oligarchy of Somerset--nn the other principle and independence. The former tried all that gold could buy—all that threats could effect—all that compulsion could enforce—but in vain—they could not curb the spirit of our yeomen, the farmers of Somer set were resolved that they would not be slaves. The aristo cracy and clergy have now done their worst—it was impossi ble that zeal and activity, and money could do more, and yet they arc left in a minority of 817. It is a singular but me lancholy fact, that the clergy should almost to a man have ar rayed themselves on the side of tyranny against the people, but they also are disappeinted. The state of the poll at its close was as follows : Sanford Tynte Escott , Somersetshire has thus nobly done its duty. Of 13 Mem bers it has returned to the new Parliament 12 Reformers. This is our answer to the appeal whether we are in love with Toryism. The Duke and Joseph find no sympathy here. BIRMINGHAM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—Since you did me the favour to insert my two letters (one dated the 29th of last month, the other the 3d instant), addressed to the Bishop of -, relating to the condition of the curates of the Established Church, Lord Stanley's speech at the nomination of candidates for the Northern Division of the county of Lancaster has appeared in the daily publications, through which accounts of such proceedings are usually con veyed. After adverting to the necessity of doing away with non residence, pluralities, &c., Lord Stanley, whose talents as a Statesman must command the admiration and respect of every true friend to his country, stated that the revenues of the Church should be so disposed of as to give the people of Eng- Lnd the greatest amount of benefit from the division of cons pelen:.4l paid ministers. " I look also with anxiety," said his Lordship, " to see some measure which may give to the supe rior clergy a more effectual control and a more real superin tendence over the inte6or clergy of their dioceses, and give them more effectual means of removing those cases of scandal which occasionally arise, and for 1:11ich the present law gives no remedy." This is what must be done for the safety of the Established Church. But it is not enough that the superior clergy should be inxested by law with power to remove those ministers, who, from neglect of duty or gross immoral con duct, shall be found unworthy of their appointments. It is further requisite that the inferior clergy (the curates), on whom the parochial duty chiefly falls, and who, if, like good and faithful servants, they have laboured indefatigably in the exercise of their office, and have set examples, both in regard to religion and morality, to all others engaged in the same eall ing, should be duly recompensed. How this may be done, I have endeavoured to show in the two letters above referred to. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Birminghtm, Jan. 17. A LAYMAN. PERTHSHIRE ELECTION.

GLASGOW ELECTION. The nomination of candidates for the representation of the city of Glasgow took place on Thursday, Jan. 13, at twelve o'clock, in front of the Court Houses. The hustings were surrounded by a dense mass of people, whose numbers must have amounted to between 10,000 and 12,000. CHARLES TENNANT, Esq., proposed Mr. Oswald. WALTER BUCHANAN, Esq., seconded the nomination. WILLIAM DIxoN, Esq., of Gavonhill, proposed Colin Dun lop of Tolcross.—( Cheers. ) WM. KIPPEN, Esq., of Bushie, seconded the nomination. Tl,e SHERIFF declared the voice of the electors to have fallen upon Mr. Oswald and Mr. Dunlop. Mr. MoaaisoN, on the part of Mr. Ewing, demanded a poll, which was appointed to take place to-morrow morning. Mr. EwING said that he once more appeared before his con stituents as a candidate for their suffrages. The King had been pleased to change his Ministers, and Parliament had been dissolved. The last event he had many weighty reasons to re gret—the cause of the former remained to be explained. With respect to the Church, his system was to uphold, but to improve, the existing establishments. As to - those of England and Ireland, he was adverse to pluralities and non-residences, and favourable to a commutation of tithes, and a more equitable distribution of livings among the working clergy. As to Scot land, he bad not hesitated to express hjs §eptimeuts with regard to Church patronage ; but he anticipated much good from the lat e decision of the General Assembly, and he would give it a word more, Under the British Con fair experj:... nt. • THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1835. stitution they had long lived and flourished. He for one was determined to fight or die under its banners. Mr. OSWALD on presentinti himself, was received with long continued cheers. He would only allude to one point, and that was the all-engrossing topic over the whole country--it was the question whether we were to be governed by an Ad ministration upon ultra-Tory principles—( Cries of " No, no") whether we were to have men in the administration of affairs who had uniformly resisted all reform, but who, now that they were again in power, gave the most vague promises of a re dress of grievances, and of the cwryiag forward of the prin ciples of reform ?—(" No," and cheers.) They had asked to have a fair trial. Their character for consistency had been long tried. They had been found consistent throughout— ' they had invariably opposed every thing in the shape of re form, and having been thus already tried, he could not believe that they would desert their principles, and become reformers. (Cheers.) If they did, they would show themselves to be dishonest, and therefore not to be trusted.—( Great applause.) On these grounds, if they again sent him to Parliament, he would endeavour, by every constitutional means, to prevent them from remaining in office—he would give them no further trial than what their characters had all eady had, and would, therefore, do all in his power, by constitutional means, to eject them from the Government.—( Cheers.) COLIN DUNLOP, Esq., Tolcross, said—Looking to the Administration, he would say with regard to it, that if they considered him worthy oftheir support, and should return him, he would opl ose it by every constitutional means in his power. He knew that the present Ministry would attempt to cajole those Members of the House who were not decided in their opposition, by promising this or that measure of reform ; he would not be cajoled by their promises. Ile knew all they could promise—that all they would perform, would fall far short of the evil they would inflict upon the country, if suf fered to remain in power. On the motion of Provost MILLS, thanks were voted to the Sheriff. After which Baillie Craig proposed three cheers for Dunlop and Oswald ; this having been given most heartily, the crowd chose to follow up with three groans for Mr. Ewing, and then dispersed peaceably. GLASGOW ELECTION. " LET GLASGOW FLOURISH." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SID,-Praise be blessed, Toryism—that foul, rank, and withering imposture of the olden and apostate " Times,"—has no longer a "local habitation" in Glasgow—Abe once strong hold of misrule, venality, espionage ( Hem ! the nest of Rich mond the Spy !) and corruption, together with the thousand other evils that are engendered by Toryism !

I cannot close this letter without calling your atten tion—and the whole of Christendom to boot—to the conclusion of Mr. Forsyth's address, on nominating, - Lord Ramsay (ano ther Tory Pet !) to the constituency of Edinburgh. Mark his words :—" In conclusion, I will say, those who refuse to vote for Lord Ramsay, ref use to stand by their God, their King, and their country !" Is such an impious threat not worthy of general execration ? So much for the High Church notions of the Tories ! Well, Edinburgh has resisted the threat—by the triumphant re-election of Mr. Abercrombie and Sir John Campbell. What then ? Let me ask Robert For syth, Esq., Advocate. * Mr. Oswald was Chairman, and Mr. Dunlop the Crou pier, at our grand Durham Demonstrati'n—a sure proof that they are of the right sort I he hortening the duration of Parliaments ; but he had done so with a view to strengthen the liberal party.—( Hissing. ) There were two points to which he would now advert. The first was vote by ballot. To that he was opposed. The se cond was the question of an extended suffrage, and he must say that he though the present suffrage entitled to a fair trial. Dr. BOWRING next came forward. He was well known as friendly to an extensive reform in the churches of England and Ireland; but it had been said that he was hostile to the prin ciples of the Church of Scotland. This he denied. He was anxious for the support of religion among the people, but he would not consent to its being made a political engine. He thought the ballot one of the greatest discoveries of modern times. On the subject of triennial Parliaments he would say that he considered frequent Parliaments necessary to give pub lic opinion its legitimate influence. Dr. Bowring then allu ded to the necessity of an extensive and a searching Church reform, particularly in the Church of Ireland. He would also advocate, to the utmost of his ability, a reform of the munici pal Corporations of England and Ireland. An extensive reform in the law would also meet with his strenuous support. He would give a decided opposition to the present Administration, as composed of men, who, during their whole lives, have ma nifested their hostility to the liberties of the people. He con ceived that the first act of the new House of Commons ought to be to tell his Majesty that the nation could not put confi dence in the men whom he had been advised to call to his Councils. The SHERIFF then put the question to the electors, and about a dozen hands were held up for Mr. Dunlop ; Dr. Bowring's name was received with a universal burst of ap plause ; and Mr. Downie's with a burst of laughter. The Sheriff declared Dr. Bowring to have the support of a ma jority of those present, but said, that as the other candidates had demanded a poll, he fixed Wednesday and Thursday as the days for that purpos e . Dr. BOWRING then moved a vote of thanks to the Sheriff, which was unanimously acceded to, and the multitude quietly dispersed. _ [These burghs will, for some time at least, be unrepresented in the new Parliament. We are informed that, from an over sight on the part of the Sheriffs of Ayrshire, no poll has been fixed at Rutherglen, which, of course, renders the election in the other burghs void.—Glasgow Chronicle.] BRIDPORT ELECTION.

This election has been carried on with an intense and unabated interest, to the last of which there are few examples, even in the annals of electioneering ; and though there has been rioting in some places, yet no serious disorder has oc curred, and we trust that men of all parties, however .they may differ in political views, will heartily join in discountenancing every species of turbulence and breach of the laws. Making due allowance for the heat of an election contest, we are glad to say that hitherto the public peace has not been disturbed; we trust that decorum and quietness will still be maintained till the close of the proceedings ; and though heat and animosity may be naturally looked for when the political conflict is going on, yet when it is terminated those feelings should mutually be laid aside, and the dissentient parties be ready to resume their former habits of friendship and social intercourse. It is es sential to the well-being of the community that the over wrought excitement of an election, and the feelings to which it gives rise, should subside. No country can prosper that is perpetually in a political ferment ; and hence it is highly de sirable that the agitation should cease as soon as possible after the elections are over, and that all should quietly return to the daily routine of their ordinary employments. We regret to understand, that there was some disturbance at Dalkeith, on Thursday at the close of the poll, and that Sir George Clerk, the successful candidate, and his friends, were very roughly handled by the mob. The poll books were also covered with mud, and otherwise much disfigured. Such dis graceful proceedings are quite unworthy of those on whom the franchise has been conferred, and arc more like the ebullitions of a rabble, of whose support all parties would be ashamed. LANARKSHIRE ELECTION. The nomination of candidates foi. the representation of the county of Lanark took place on Wednesday last in front of the County Hall, Lanark. Sir HENRY STUART, of Allanton, proposed Mr. John Max well, jun., of Pollock. Mr. PATRICK GRAHAME, of Limekilns, seconded the nomi nation. MARK SPROTT, Esq., of Garnkirk, came forward amid dis approbation, to nominate Mr. Alexander M'llonald Lockhart, of Carnwath. Mr. ANDREW BUCHANAN, of Drumpellier, seconded the no mination. Mr. MAXWELL came forward amid great cheering. He ad verted to the line of policy pursued by the late Administration, and to their abrupt dismissal from oTcc. Why were they dis missed ?—and why was the Parliament dissolved so abruptly ? Because they wanted cheap justice ; because they wanted religious freedom ; because they wanted a reduction of taxation.—( Hear, hear, hear.) It was net within his power to do justice to the merits of the late Administration. He would say that so long as Sir R. Peel remained in office, the farmers could not expect high prices, because it was not to be expected that he would either rater his course, or acknow ledge his error. Mr. Maxwell then alluded to the question of the present Ministry. He should consider it his duty to remove them by the first constitutional means in his power. He would not pretend to do this because he believed that Wel lington would take the first opputunity of cutting their throats, or because Peel would immediately set about to de lude them ; but because it was impossible to gather figs off thorns, or grapes off thistles ; and so it was as impossible to reap reform measures from men who had during their whole live; been the persevering opponents of all reform. Mr. Maxwell was very generally cheered during his address, and concluded amid loud and reiterated applause. Mr. LOCKHART then advanced, and was received with dis approbation, mixed with cheers. While he was resolved to uphold the Constitution in Church and State, he was, at the same time, prepared to give a candid attention to every mea sure of Reform, and to support those which appeared to be really such. The SIIERIFF then put the question whether Mr. John Maxwell or Mr. Alexander Macdonald Lockhart received the suffrages of the electors. The show of hands for Mr. Max well appeared to be universal ; that for Mr. Lockhart displayed not more than twenty hands. The Sheriff declared the choice of the electors to be in favour of Mr.. Maxwell, but said, that as Mr. Lockhart demanded a poll ; he would fix Friday and Saturday next for that purpose. KILMARNOCK DISTRICT of BURGHS Monday the nomination of Candidates took place at Kil marnock. Baillie WILSON proposed Mr. Dunlop. Mr. TORRENCE proposed Dr. I3owring. Mr. PATTISON seconded the nomination. Mr. JOHN THOMSON proposed Mr. Downie of Appin, and Mr. HALL seconded the nomination. Mr. DUNLOP thee came forward.

MIDDLESEX ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. had but just returned from Brentford when The Sun of this evening was put into my hands ; and though in some degree acquainted with the celerity of the public press, I could not have believed, had I not seen your report, the possibility of putting in print, in so short a time, such a full and accurate report of the speeches and proceedings this day at Brentford. As one of the parties concerned, I offer you my thanks for the extraordinary exertions made on this occa sion, so highly creditable to your Establishment. I remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, JOSEPH HUME. Bryanstone-square, Monday, half-past six o'clock. EAST SURREY ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,--Aflow me to add my thanks to those of my late Col league for the remarkable accuracy, and unexampled dispatch which characterized the publication of the proceedings at our recent nomination at Croydon. I feel that public men and their country, especially in times like these, are so deeply indebted to the impartiality of the Press, that I cannot withhold this feeble tribute of my respect and admiration. I have the honor to be, Sir, your obedient Servant, 19, Edward -street, Jan. 17. I. J. BRISCOE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ,SUN. Sts,—l cannot but return you my thanks for the extraor dinary expedition and correctness with which you have re ported the proceedings at the East Surrey Nomination to-day, in your Evening Paper. I had not thought it possible it could have been out in the Evening Papers. I remain, your obedient servant, A. W. BEAUCLERK. 12, Chester-street, Grosvenor-place, Jan. 14. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—The Committee of Messrs. Briscoe and Beauclerk having observed with the utmost satisfaction the extraordinary despatch, and very accurate manner, with which the report of the particulars connected with the nomination of the Can didates for this Division was given in your Journal (appearing as it did in the evening of the same day), feel it a duty in cumbent upon them to offer you their sincere and unqualified thanks. In paying this tribute, so due to the excellent manner in which your, Paper is conducted, proved, as it is, by the extra ordinary precision with which the several speeches made on this occasion were reported (the paper having been received in this room only three hours after the Meeting terminated), , the Committee feel they would be wanting in liberality, if they did not offer this testimony of their approbation. Reiterating these sentiments, they have the honour to re main, Sir, yours most respectfully, H. RICHARDS, Secretary. Committee-room, Crown Inn, Croydon, Wednesday evening, Jan. 14, 1834. THE TORY'S CHAIN. The tyrant grasps the sword, His other hand is on the chain, Rouse, Britons, at a word ! Be not the Tories' slave again. Hundreds of millions debt, Millions of shameful annual waste— These seals their hands have set, These are their records of the pest. To feed the Churchmen's pride,* To glut their hate of liberty, What tens of thousands died ? Millions who struggled to be free. Where now is Charles, the Priest ? The end of Europe's wasting war ! And where is Washington ? The first of glories stretching far I Rouse now, or 'tis too late. Electors rouse, yet once again I England ! is it thy fate Again to wear the Tory's chain ? _ A MIDDLESEX ELECTOR. We speak not of the working Clergy, who are not half-paid for their services. We are speaking of Archbishops, Bishops, Deans, and all the Reverend Do-littles of Cathedrals. To their determination to resist Reform (not without the aid of Tory Squires,) we owe the war with France in 1793, and all its train of evils. Englishmen should never lose sight for a moment of the War with Frauce and the National Debt, but remember, that what the Tories have (lone, in order to prevent Reform in Church and State, they would do again, and for the self same purpose. COURT CIRCULAR. His Royal Highness Prince Augustus of Portugal honoured M. de Moraes Sarmento, the Portuguese Minister, with his company to dinner on Saturday. Besides the four noblemen of the Prince's suite, Marquis Ficaiho, Count Mejeant, Vis count Bandeira, and Baron Billing, there were present to meet his Royal Highness, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, Vis count Mahon, Mr. Under Secretary Backhouse, the Belgian ; Danish, Bavarian, Grecian, Brazilian, and Spanish Ministers, the Austrian, French and Swedish Charges d'Affaires, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarenee, Sir Andrew Barnard, Messieurs Jabat, Mendizabal, Carbonel Van Zeller, &c. Sir Robert Peel sent an excuse, as his absence from London, on account of his election, did not permit him to be in town on that day. In the evening several Portuguese gentlemen called at the Legation of her Most Faithful Majesty, to pay their dutiful respects to the Prince, and take leave of his Royal Highness. In the forenoon of Saturday the Prince honoured M. Mendi with his company to a dejeune . . Several of the foreign Minis ters, Lord Seaford, Lord Holland, Colonel Fox, and all the Portuguese Nobility in town were present. Prince Augustus of Portugal left town at an early hour yes terday morning, attended by Sir Andrew Barnard and the Noblemen of his suite, for Windsor, where his Royal High ness was expected to inspect the Castle, and afterwards to proceed to Salisbury, there to pass the' night. This day the Prince is expected to arrive at Exeter, on his way to Falmouth, where his Royal Highness will embark for Portugal. The Portuguese Minister, M. de Moraes Sarmento, left town at an early hour yesterday morning for Falmouth. The Duke of Cumberland honoured the Hanoverian Mi nister with his company at dinner last evening at his residence in Grosvenor-place. Sir Robert Peel returned to town from Tamworth on Sa turday night. The Right Hon. Baronet visited the Duke of Wellington yesterday. The Duke of Wellington was engaged for some time on Saturday morning with Mr. Jenkinson on the business of Dover Harbour. In the afternoon Count Seckendorff, the Prussian Charge d'Affaires, the Marquis of Bristol, Earl Powis, and Lord Cowley, visited his Grace at the Foreign office. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-office from Sir William Nicolay, Governor of the Mauritius. FRENCH PLAYS. LYCEUM AND ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. The histrionic campaign of the French company commenced on Saturday night last at the above elegant and commodious theatre under very flattering auspices. We observed some al terations in the arrangements for the accommodation of the audience, which are calculated to be productive of warmth and convenience during the continuance of the chilly weather. The entertainment consisted of Ninon, Moliere, et Tartuffe, Les Deux Divorces (two vaudevilles of trifling pretensions, but which enabled Mdlle. Vilmain, from the Theatre du Vau deville, in Paris, and M. Dobourjal, from the Varie,t6s, to make successful debuts, and convey a favourable impression of their talents), and Le Mere et la File, a comedy in five acts. The latter piece was deservedly the prominent attraction of the evening. M. Duresnel was powerfully supported by M. Frederic Lamaitre. La Mere et la Fills was much applauded throughout, and at the fall of the curtain the approbation be came enthusiastic, mingled with cries for Lamaitre, who even tually came forward to receive the compliments to which his fine delineation of M. Duresnel had fairly entitled him. OLYMPIC THEATRE. When folks are pleased it is of little use fcg sages to tell them that they ought not to laugh. The audienc e s a t th e Olympic appear to be as uproarious in their mirth as they are large in number ; what, then, has the critic to do but shake his head and hold his peace ? It is not often, to be sure, that he has to shake his head at anything that is brought forward at this theatre, but when there is, the dramatic snarler catches at the bonbon thankfully. Madame Vestris has given us her version of Mr. Buygins under a new tttle, and though Liston is the hero, and roars of laughter the consequence, it must still be regretted that such a crotchet should ever have en tered a farce-wright's brain. The intermixation of per formers and audience destroys that charm of scenic il lusion which cannot be too strictly maintained. Madame, indeed, must not be deemed very blame-worthy for this, be cause her only object has been to cater to the public appetite, and, truth to say, as in almost all instances so in this, she has succeeded ; but the public appetite deserves great censure for its depravity, and we would give it its deserts unrelentingly. The only other fault to be found among the amusing piec es now being represented is in the temporary miscast of parts in the spectacle of Telenzachus. The lady who takes the role of Venus seems not to mortal eyes nearly so much lik e t h e Goddess of Beauty as the fair widow herself i n th at o f Calypso ; but that, perhaps, is a fault not easily to be re medied. Upon the whole, however, the Olympic continues to be as attractive as it has ever been under the present ma nagement, and it would be strange if it were not. By way of contrast to the monotony of mirth, there was a s li g h t b reeze i n the pit that disturbed the serenity of the audience for a while, occasioned as usual by a lady wearing a large bonnet. Why will ladies wear large bonnets in pits ? Pe o pl e wou ld not so much care about it, perhaps, if they paid their money to - template the posterior developments of a • when this is not altogether the , oonnet ; but ...,sect, the mo s t tasteful be wilderments of fail • ...yet and satin draped upo n b uc k ram s k e l e t ons ;- fascination. Persons' heads cannot but be too turnip-shaped in a theatre for the accommodation of stage gazers ; it were to be wished that M a d ame V estr i s wou ld se to good example by issuing an " order " for the removal of ex traneous head gear in the pit : coming from a lady, the ladies would tolerate the hint, and recognize its excellence—many a squabble would be thereby spared, and not a shilling lost t o the treasury, nor a kindly feeling to the fair sex. IRELAND. DUBLIN, FRIDAY.—The Lord Lieutenant held his first levee yesterday. The following is the Address of the Coyporation, and his Excellency's answer : " My Lord,—We, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, commons, and citizens of the city of Dublin, in Common Council assembled, anxiously embrace the earliest opportunity of tendering to your Excellency our most sincere and respectful congratula tions upon your appointment to the exalted station of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. " We recognise the paternal kindness of our beloved Sove reign in the delegation of this high authority to a Nobleman distinguished for his eminent talents and uniform attachment to the priciples of the Constitution._ _ . . " Tlie estimation in which your Excellency's political and personal character is universally held affords the best security that the unremitting care of your Government will be directed to the firm and impartial administration of the laws, to the due maintenance of the established institutions of the country, and to the encouragement and protection of the trading and commercial interests of the metropolis." HIS EXCELLENCY'S ANSWER. " I be g to return you my warmest acknowledgements for this kind and cordial address, which is most gratifying to me to 'receive from the loyal Corporation of the metropolis of Ireland. " I should be ungrateful if I did not take this, the earliest public opportunity, of expressing the satisfaction afforded to me by the friendly and respectful reception I met with from all classes, on the occasion of my entry into the city of Dublin. " You are pleased to say, that you recognize in my appoint ment to this high station a fresh proof of the paternal kindness of our beloved Sovereign to his people. " I shall endeavour, by my conduct, to justify his Royal con fidence in. me, although I dare not arrogate to myself the qua lities that; with far too favourable an estimate of my preten sions, you would thus ascribe to me. But, in attributing to. me a uniform attachment to the principles of the British Con stitution, you do me no more.than justice. From that attach m`ent rhavi never deviated ; and I shall carry to my grave the conviction that it is only by 4 firm and unvarying adherence to those principles.thar the Government of this kingdom can promoteits prosperity, or ensure to its people the invaluable blessings of freedom and of peace. " Our established institutions, sacred and civil, are essential and vital parts of the Constitution. The anxiety you express for their permanence is a proof of your loyalty and of your pa triotism. You may rely upon my assurance that it is the firm and unalterable determination of his Majesty's Government to protect, to uphold, and to strengthen them ; to protect them against those who would operate their ruin, whether designedly or from morbid love of innovation ; to uphold them by a zea lous maintenance of all those essential principles, on an ad herence to which the very existence of such establishments must depend ; to strengthen them by a conscientious distribu tion of office, and an honest exercise of patronage, by exacting from every functiOnary the strict and well-considered measures of reformation alitnay be best adapted to the actual circum stances and condition of the country. Such constitutional re forms will be calculated to augment the beneficial influence of our establishments, and enlarge the sphere of their usefulness ; and, by removing as much as possible all practical grounds of complaint, will recommend them to the increased respect and attachment of the people. These ameliorations are required; and his Majesty's Government having entered upon the consi deration of them in the most friendly spirit, and with the calm and fixed resolution of adopting them, look with confidence for the support of the best friends of established order. _ _ " lo . ur expectations of a firm and impartial administration of the laws shall not be disappointed. Justice shall be dispensed without favour or affection, without reference to sect in reli gion, or party in politics ; for I am not come among you as the representative of party triumph, but to preside honestly and impartially over the affairs of a great country at an ardu ous crisis, and I am determined to do my duty. " The important trading and commercial interest of this great city demand, and shall receive my best attention. They will meet from the Government of the coußtey with every en couragement and protection. It will r.iways give me sincere pleasure to confer with you, gentlemen, and with others, the respectable merchants and traders of Dublin, as the best and most agreeable means of acquiring the information necessary to enable me to perform this material part of the functions I have taken it upon me to discharge. " Ireland is, in some essential particulars, an improving country, but she requires peace, and a long respite from ex citement and agitation. If she would not mar the bountiful intentions of Providence—if she would turn to advantage the exuberant fertility of her soil, and ensure the development of her many resources, her people must return to an habitual and settled obedience to the laws ; for there can be no permanent national prosperity where life and property are not fully se cured. " I will endeavour to effect so happy a result ; and bad I but the power to conciliate and to allay, where so much is daily done to inflame and to irritate, the issue would neither be dubious or remote. I feel that I have undertaken a difficult task, but I have the ablest assistance. I shall look for support from all of you; and if, by the blessing of the Almighty, I could contribute, in any degree, to the tranquillity and welfare of a people in whom I have ever taken a lively interest, I should consider the hour in which I first set foot on Irish ground as the proudest and happiest of my life.!' .. - A magnificent gold box has accompanied the address, as a present to his Excellency. . NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 17.—The Osprey, Payne, arrived this afternoon from Lisbon, which place she left on Monday last, everything was going on most quietly in Portugal. The Osprey remained three days at Lisbon, and performed the voyage out and home in fourteen days. The Nimble cutter, Lieut. Charles Bolton, was lost c , ;(1 the 3d of November on Key Verde, in the Bahama Chairael, with 70 slaves. The officers and crew and 200 slaves 'were saved. The slaves had been taken out of a vessel which the Nimble chased on shore. The Nimble had been a successful cruiser against the slave traffickers. Lieut. Bolton, his officers, crew, and the saved slaves, arrived at Havannah on Nov. 17. We received this morning the Halifax Journal to the 30th of December. The Arachne, 18, Commander Burney, sailed from New York on the 12th of December, with Captain Kit son, Royal Engineers, he having successfully entered into con tracts with persons there for erecting the lighthouses on Bahama Island. The following are extracts from the papers I-- QUEBEC, Nov. 28.—" The William Money (tea-ship), which sailed for London on the 23d, went ashore in the night of the 30th, 180 miles below Quebec, on the north side of St. Lawrence, and was abandoned by all the crew except two men, who preferred to remain or, board the wreck, than risk their lives in the boats. The captain, purser, and nitre men. took to the small boat, the chief officer and doctor taking the long-boat, and the second and third officers taking the large cutter, with their respective men, in all fifty-eight persons saved, losing every article except what they had on at the time. After encountering much hardship, they were picked up by a schooner, and safely landed. DISTRESSING SHIPWRECK. The American brig Hunter, Howes, of Boston, from New York for New Orleans, has been I:st, together with the captain, four seamen, and twenty three passengers. The Belvidera, 42, Captain C. B. Strong, and Vestal, 28, Captain W. Jones, sailed from Barbadoes on the 24th of November for Port Royal, where a courtmartial was to as semble to try Commander M'Causland, of the Cruiser, upon a charge of taking passage-money from an American gentle man, and to account for the Cruiser running on shore off St. Juan Nicaraa, as stated in a former paper, by which she lost all her guns except two. The Belvidera and Rainbow arrived at Jamaica on tile Ist of December. The Swallow packet, Lieutenant Smyth Gfiflith, which met with a violent hurricane in the Gulf c,i Mexico on her homeward passage from Vera Cruz, arr:ved at the Havannah on the 17th of November to refit ter damage. She reached Falmouth safely on Thursday, a considerable freight. The Netley (tender to :one San Josef) arrived from Ply mouth on Wednesday, Plymouth. and sailed again to-day, to return to At Spith , .,d_ Thr• - Curlew. Curlew, 10, Hon. Lieutenant Denman, is ordered to '..ne West Coast of Africa, and will sail when the wind is fair. In Harbour—The Victory, Excellent, Royal George, Actaeon, Rattlesnake, Samarang, Salamander, Victor, Cha melion, Water Witch, Seaflower, and Buffalo. The following Clerks in his Majesty's Navy have been promoted to the rank of Purser :—Messrs. A. Laidlow, William Spriggs, J. P. Macnamara, J. Taylor, John Holmes, F. Gore, G. F. Plumby, C. Wakeham, E. F. Roberts, John Lord. Mr. Sadler, Master, is re-appointed to the Buffalo. Mr. 11. Benctt, mate, to the Rattlesnake. Major IL D. Campbell, of North end Lodge, appointed Governor of Sierra Leone, and the West Coast of Africa, is embarked in the St. Ann, and will sail when the wind is fair. Rather a laughable illustration of the adage, " counting one's chickens before they are hatched," occurred the other day at the election for the city of Hereford. The Tories had made so sure of success as to prepare a triumphal arch for their hero to pass through, and had, before the sum ming up of the numbers, with the consent of the Dean, actu ally set the Cathedral bells ringing right merrily. These re.- joicincrs, together with the banqueting preparations, &c., ' u sual on such occasions, were proceeding with great alaeriV, when, to their utter confusion, th e y ascer t a i ne d upon tl ,e n:ent of the poll that thei r m a n wa s th e reject. d B• rm i n ghaill Journal. z announce- THE LATE ELECTION FOR C ANTER B URY'" Mr. Lushington has .anno,:ittea his determination of institut ing a judicial inquiry :., to t h e c i rcumstances b y which he h as been temporarily excluded from his right of taking his seat a s one of the '..epiesentatives of this city.
