MORN IleiG SUN. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. nine( THE DAILY PAPERS OF THURSDAY. CHRONICLE. --The anger of the Times at the "perverse peeition assured by the Conservative nun-intrus.onists at Aberdeeen and elsewhere, shows pretty plainly how the wind blows. The triumphant elections of the Lord Advocate and of Mr. Fox Meule are the cause of this ebullition of disap pointment ; and the expected defeat of the Tory candidate, who opposes Mr. Bannerman in Aberdeen, has made the bile of our contemporary overflow. Th 3 virulent attack on Mr. Bannerman, spread over a goodly column and a half of a leader, in the Times to-day, will be best answered by the poll, which will show a majority in Mr. Bannermen's favour of nearly two to one against his antagonist. The whole article is a tissue of falsehoods and misconceptions, too well known in the northern city to change a single vote of the constituency. We shall give one example only of these blunders, leaving our readers to apply the maxim, ex uno disce omnes. The Time., in its elaborate list of Mr. Bivanerman's enor mities, says that the Conservatives well remember "his memorable malversation in attempting to misapply cer tain academical funds to the erection or repair of some bridge or another." The truth is as diametrically the reverse of this as it is possible for fact and falsehood to be. The measure thus ignorantly alluded to by the Times was a Bill brought into Parliament by the Corporation of the City of Aberdeen, for applying a portion of a large accumulated fund, arising out of an annual amount, originally bequeathed in the reign of Robert the Bruce, for the support and maintenance of the famous " Brig o' Balgonie," on the Don, to the erection of schools within the City of Aberdeen. Thus, instead of apply • ing academic funds to build bridges, Mr. Bannerman merely proposed to apply surplus funds-left for supporting a particular bridge, to academic purposes ; the very converse of the charge brought against him. The measure was taken up as a party question by the Conservatives, and ultimately defeated by the votes of two or three Tories, brought down by the whip to vote against a Bill, with the merits of which they were totally unacquainted. TIMES.—The language of the democratic party at the present crisis is admirably characteristic of their natural pro pensities and real motives. They hail their approaching mi gration to the benches of the Opposition with a sort of frantic boast, that it will give them more opportunities of mischief, and a field for bolder enterprise, than they had when the Go vernment of the nation was in their hands. If, indeed, the cause of these Liberal politicians is to be strengthened in Oppo sition by all the measures they neglected to carry, and all the pledges they failed to fulfil, when they were in office, their points of attack will be as numerous as the points of the compass. But it will not be forgotten by the nation, that these abuses (if such they be) were quite as open to correction when the power of correcting them was in the hands of the very men who are now impatient to exercise . their acutenenss in detecting and their eloquence in denouncing them. It appears to be a law in Whig optics, that the imperfections of our constitution, and the breaches which time has made in the structure of the common wealth, become visible as the spectator recedes from close proximity to the object. - It has already been discovered (such as the distance which already intervenes between the Ministers • and the centre of administration) that the whole trading and manufacturing interests of the country are on the verge of ruin : and the schemes of these mighty architects for propping up the ancient fabric increase in boldness in proportion as they acquire a conviction that they will not be called upon to exe cute their projects, and that they may therefore indulge in suggesting experiments which will only bring down the roof on the heads of their opponents. The language of Liberal candidates on the hustings and of the Liberal organs of the press, which are so overloaded with explosive matter that they miss their aim and recoil on the desperadoes who discharge them, amounts in tact to an admission, that as a Government the Melbourne Cabinet have failed to perform all those duties which they now declare to be essential to the pub lic welfare. But having so failed when they had a majority in the House of Commons, having likewise tailed with a mino rity in that House, they proceed to assure their supporters that in Opposition they will be quite irresistible. That they will be formidable no one doubts; for men are always formidable when they throw off all restraint. As long as they were in office, the nature of their Ministerial functions, and the necessity of propitiating that honourable and patriotic. Opposition which lent its support to the Government in various emergencies, forced them to keep up some reserve. The heads 'of -the party filling several of the higheit offices of state, were not disposed to risk their characters or their fortunes in order to gratify all the passions of their democratic tools. But in Opposition, the more cautious members of the present Cabinet will instantly be distanced and contumeliously disavowed by their late ad herents. A D VERTlSER.—Whatever may be the result of the elec tions yet remaining to be decided, it is neer evident that in the next House of Commons parties must be so equally balanced as to render it impossible for any Administration to carry on the affairs of the country with efficiency and satisfaction for any length of time, and, therefore, to make it highly probable t t h h aatt his but name a short e time duly willpls placed elapse b e t f h o e r e the registry. Claims far o f the British empire be again appealed to for their decision on the conduct of their Representatives. It is, in fact, now all but cer tain that, ere long, we shall have another general election. Let , the constituencies, therefore, at once prepare to redeem their representation from the false and faithless hands to which, in too many instances, they have lately confided it, Let every man qualified for the suffrage lose no time in seeing votes in counties must be made before the 20th instant, and in boroughs all poor.r:tes and assessed taxes must be paid before the same day. Register, Reformers ! Register, as you value your freedom and all that is dear to you as citizens. No time as to be lost. If your names be not on the registries, and your taxes paid hefore the 20th instant, you shall be, for the ensuing twelve months no better than slaves, without the slightest means of giving legislative expression to any opinion on the in stitutions established for your government, or upon the changes, good or bad, which may be proposed in them. Re gister, therefore, as you value, not only your political rights, but as you value your daily bread. Taken by surprise, unprepared for the good which was offered an their acceptance, and uncertain of the firmness end good faith of those proposing it, the borough constitu encies, in many instances, allowed their representation to be thrested from them by factious monopolists with most apa coetic indifference. But little excuse can be offered for such ? induct under any circumstances ; but if, after having expe ,eneed such infliction, they suffer the opportunity to pass w ithout preparing for its removal, they deserve their fate, and e unworthy of the fostering care which, whatever m a y have been its conduct in other respects, the present Ministry has evinced for their interests in the proposed modifications of the prohibitory duties. POST.—The most violent, nay, truculent and rabid, of all the electioneering agents in Ireland, are the Romish ecclesias tics. What would be said in this kingdom if a Bishop of the Church were, in virtue of his ecclesiastical authority, to sum mon his clergy around him for the purpose of taking measures against the return of a Whig or a Radical candidate ? What would be said in this kingdom if the parochial clergy exhibited themselves in every place of political meeting, stamping with passion, and roaring to the ci owd, with violent vociferation of ' inflammatory language which no gentleman would use under any circumstances, and which even the excitement of election. times could scarcely excuse among the coarsest of the people ? Is it net certain that such behavior would be assailed with the must earnest reproaches by every Ministerialist, and yet this is actually the daily conduct pursued at this very time by 1 the Ministerial adherents in Ireland. It is to such cone duct they will be indebted for lowering the majority which the English returns present against the Ministers. Without the aids derived from such proceedings in Ireland, the Whig-Radical party would be utterly powerless and insig nificant in Parliamentary divisions. These are truths—plain, practical truths—which we take leave to .submit to the good sense and calm consideration of the public. We ask whether any reasonable man can consider it just or fair, or likely to lead to good, that representatives who owe their returns to the means we have described, exercised upon a wild, ignorant, and semi-savage population. should be relied upon by the leaders of a party in the Imperial House of Commons, as equi valent to the support of English county representatives? Is it not monstrous that an Administration should have so long subsisted, although distrusted by a large majority of Englisa representatives, and by a yet larger majority of the Upper House of Parliament, merely upon the strength of the support of those whom the horridly irreligious violence of the Ro manist ecclesiastics of Ireland had sent into the House of Commons? And is it not even more monstrous, and more offensive, that when Great Britain still more decidedly con demns the Whig-Radical Administration, so as to render its continu.nce in office impossible, the party which Great Britain prefers as more honest and more capable, is to be threatened (ley after day by renewals of this violence, which is the opprc brium of the United Kingdom ? We appeal to the reasonable portion of the public, and entreat them to be no longer im posed upon by the rant and nonsense of these. Irish demago gues, but to look at their mode of proceeding calmly and con siderately. If, after such fair examination they can continue to bear the dictatorial influence from Ireland, and refrain from taking decisive steps for its overthrow, we have mistaken the nature of the British mind. HEte ALD.— Ihe perversity of the great agricultural con stituencies of the country is quite remarkable ! We cannot im gine what the oracular authorities who do the o corn" phi a loso- , phy in the Morning Chronicle, and the Globe, will say to such marked and all but universal contempt for their theori es , and doctrines, and spin - text dis q uisition s on the subject. We have this day to record —following up the list we c o mmunicated pester day to the public-17 additional triumphs for th e cause of those Conservative principles which hold that the repeal of the Corn-laws, to the extent of removing the present system of protective duties, would be fraught with immediate ruin to our landed interest, and would ultimately peril the existence of this empire as a leading State among the paramount i powers of Europe, by rendering her dependent, n times of scarcity or political misunderstandings, on foreign countries for the supplies required by her consumption Not Acland, th e . leaguer-man; nor Sidney (Smith), the secretary or delegate of the " anti"-association ; nor Mr. Commissioner Place—(we are afraid our memory does not do justice to their respective titles of official dignity), but this can be of no consequence beyond the walls of the several provincial theatres of their elocution ( !)--not any of these could have toiled more indefatigably, by day and by night. or delivered them selves of more solemnly concocted philippics against the landed gentry, and the prime aristocracy. of Great Britain—(saving, only, the cases of a few individuals among that class who amuse themselves by coun tenancing their visionary notions),—than the Globe and the Chronicle have done ever since the first Ministerial defeats of last session. In their columns the vituperative personalities, —the dogmatic tone,—the calm assumption to themselves of all the c oncentrate d k nowledge to he acqu i red on t h e " corn' , and the " sugar" questions,—and against their opponents of ignorance in these matters the most absolute and profound : which formed at once the most amusing and yet the most im pertinent features in the strolling exhibitions of the itinerant mountebanks ;—have lost nothing of their coarseness, but the whole of their fun. Day after day, for months past, the public have been bored by the imeetuous blundering of the morn ing sage, or the flippant perpetrations of the evening lee turer. And yet—to see how men may labour in vain ! To mark how wastefully good indignation may be thrown away, and the tnost sublime denunciations of statistical phi • loeophy be thundered. unregarded—en a worthless, besotted, benighted, irreclaimable land e d gentry, whom all the artillery played twice every day at intervals at ten hours, from these batteries of exclusive enlightenment, cannot arouse from their doomed slumbers! It is really provoking for the Globe ! , It is really disheartening for the Chronicle ! Nevertheless, we I must leave them to settle their quarrel with the impracticable objects of their never-sleeping solicitude. Our duty on the present occasion is, merely, to demonstrate that the county constituencies persist in repudiating their doctrines, declining I their advice, laughing at their lucubrations, and returning "monopolists," as the Anti-Corn-law abolition men are termed —with a steady undisturbed perseverance absolutely insulting to both of our Contemporaries G LOBE—We have not space to-day to dissect Lord Stan ley's speech, and expose its sophisms. The Noble Lord has formed himself quite on the Tamworth model, as regards the Corn-law question. We can only, at present, point out the pervading self-contradiction of his speech, whic'a will be found to run through all the attacks of ; . N E‘N ~ 14r4_, tanlssy's party on the present Mi n i s t ers . and yjEtle Lord proceeds alte rna t e ly on t h e contrary in insistent assumptions, that their measures 4:, are to louver prices greatly, and: that they are not to 4 1 1 ~ e ; ,_ .. :owes these 'greatly. He attempts to accumulate all the t,.., -;,: __,.,., .: , Da m e ,oiris_both these results on their heads—to terrify ;'''' 3 "I !sip_ . • e•lonial rod e eseeee- ee ....: 'ee eas P ucers with the unmitigated pros e-- t, -. 4 ,, 4 4 , 4 ‘.4 a 8- -*.. ~ ~. pect of the former, and to ridicule the hopes of con sumers by setting the late event before them. Now clearly onl onJ naif of the Noble Lord's charges can be just. If he u, d studied these questions any otherwise than as a school-boy conning a declamation, he ought to have made up his mind which half he really imagined well-founded. Election placards, and Mr. M'Culloch's pamphlet are Lord Stanley's alternate authorities. Of which of the two is he most disposed to credit the Calculations ? Clearly he cannot charge upon Ministers the contents of both. They tell opposite stories. Is it not perfectly puerile to seek to heap opposite charges on the same heads ? And was it not for Lord Stanley, as a states man, called to decide upon grave questions, to seek seriously to make out which of two sets of consequences would follow proposed measures ? Not a--bit of it ;he seeks nothing in the opposite conjectures of those con sequences but missiles to direct against the heads of his party opponents. COURIER.—The elections are progressing as steadily favourable to the Conservative cause as the most san guine could have anticipated. Up to the hour we write the clear absolute gain of the - Conservatives amounts to twenty seats, eight on the cities and boroughs, ten on the counties, and two on the returns for Scotland. But our object in referring to what has been achieved is not so much for the purpose of enumerating our gains, however grateful and in viting may be the task, as to cheer on our friends to other and greater achievements still. As yet we have had no returns of any interest or importance from Ireland. We have ample grounds, however, for entertaining a strong and confident hope, that nei ther the ruffian violence of the habitual disturber of his country's peace, nor the fierce and malignant denuncia tions of the spiritual tyrants whose tool and fitting agent he is, will succeed in wresting from us any of the seats now in our possession ; or should par tial success attend in one or two places, the employ ment of such villanous agencies, it will be more than counterbalanced by the advantages we are in a fair way of securing in other and more important constituencies. It is only upon the counties of Carlow, Kerry, and Sligo, amounting to four seats, that Mr. O'Connell and his clerical allies have fixed their greedy eyes ; two Conser vatives will, we have reason to feel confident, be re turned for Sligo by a triumphant majority ; and not withstanding the crusade undertaken against Colonel Bruen in Carlow, and the diabolical means re sorted to for the purpose of exciting popular hatred against himself and his supporters—means which combined the murderous attacks of an infuriated rabble, with denunciations of eternal punishment by a big oted priesthood—there is every prospect of the Galant Colonel's triumphant return. Mr. Fitzpatrick, as we announced before, has fled from the Queen's County, not daring to show his face on the hustings ; and as respects the counties of Dublin, Wicklow, and Tipperary, the prospects of Conservative gain are bright and cheering. Nor can any one feel surprised at this, considering the questions upon which the Irish constituencies are now called upon to decide. Ireland, as all know, is purely an agricultural country • and therefore there would be nothing to shield her from im mediate and terrible ruin, if her staple produce were bereft of the protection it has hitherto enjoyed. Devas tation, ruin, and universal misery throughout the length and breadth of Ireland would be the first and inevitable consequence of the Ministerial project ; to her the ex tension of the foreign market for British manufacture, which the free trade speculators predict as the result of the repeal of the Corn-laws, and which they set down as an equivalent for the enormous injury British agricul ture would sustain, would bring no counterbalancing ad vantages. The proposed change would bring upon her population evils of gigantic magnitude, and be attended by no possible benefit. STANDARD. The county elections proceed, as some Conservatives may be disposed to think, very fa vourably ; but we own not to our satisfaction. We grudge the Whig-Radicals a single county seat ; and we know - that if all - personal considerations were cast on one side, if common prudence and due diligence were used, they would not have one. It is true that the last of the Russells has been driven from Bedford shire, that Dorsetshire has been cleared of its one remaining Whig-Radical representative, that the repre sentation of West Sussex has been all won, that seats have been gained from the enemy in Herefordshire, Cam bridgeshire, West Kent, East Gloucester, West Worces ter, North Stafford, and doubtless, in other places. It is true, that of about eighty English county Members re turned, not more than ten are Whig-Radicals. All this we see, and rejoice in seeing it ; but why is there any alloy to the general exultation of all good men ? Why should the Whig-Radicals have ten seats out of eighty ? Why should they have , one ? We are jea• bus of the honour of the gentry and yeomanry of England ; and we cannot but feel that that honour is tarnished whenever an agricultural community submits to be misrepresented by an enemy or a false or even doubtful friend. Mr. Byng might have been sent from Middlesex with the utmost ease if only men had been honest in the opinions they profess. North Derbyshire might as easily, by an exertion of honesty, have substituted two Conservatives for its two Radical representatives. West Gloucester was fully ripe for a complete Conservative representation; we may say the same of North Hants, South Northumberland, South Stafford, and West Surrey, though all are still unfortunately disgraced by a Whig-Radical representative. It is no sufficient excuse to offer, to ask the question, as we hear it asked, "What could we do?" " What could I do?" may be sometimes a satisfactory apology in the mouth of an individual ; but " What could we do ?" must never be listened to from more than half-a-dozen per sons, because half-a-dozen persons, devotedly resolved in an honest cause, can do almost anything.' Half-a dozen persons, so resolved, in any of the electoral dis tricts we have last named, would have purified it from a Whig-Radical representation. The Times of yesterday morning observes, in allusion to Lord flowick's election speech in Northumberland--." If there is one man in the whole Whig party who is dis trusted and disliked by both opponents and friends, Lord Howick is that man."—The Morning Advertiser expose; at some length Lord Stanley's " incongruous arguments" in his Address to the North Lancashire electors. The Morning Chronicle, speaking of the present Regis tration system, says—" It is a defect in it that it does not prepare for such a reference to the people as has just been made." The Morning Post contains an article whose prin cipal object is to rebut "the assertion that in the English towns the Conservatives have not gained."—The Morning Herald praises Lord Stanley's speech as "a clear, practical analysis of the scope and effect of the Ministerial propositions.' FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—It must have struck the minds of all who have read the election harangues of the Conservative leaders, that while assuming the present struggle to be decisive of the question whether the Tories are to succeed to the administration of affairs, not a word has been said by which the nation can judge how, in the event presumed, affairs are likely to be administered. Coming forward avowedly as candidates fur office, it might seasonally have been expected that the monopolists would have given something like an outline—however indistinct and shadowy— of their intended policy ; but, on the contrary, they seem to have studied the " philosophy of mystery," and to have felt that their , only chance of obtaining approbation for their plans is in rendering them utterly inscrutable. The whole upshot of all the Tory eloquence, with which the land has been flooded for the last fortnight, is this :—" We will obstruct the measures of the Whigs;"—hut if asked what the Conservatives intend doing themselves—each embryo Mi nister has imitated Lord Burleigh in the play, and shaken his head with a portentous gravity, the meaning of which is utterly' untranslatable. The obstructive policy which the Tories have so long exerci , vd, and the obstinate silence they still observe on (as they boast) the very eve of power, would induce one to sup pose that their Government would be that of King Log, had the country not learnt by very long experience that the lifeless pon derosity of Log changes to the voracious activity of Stork, di rectly a footing is obtained in the Treasury. 'Taking their own speeches as a criterion of the qualities they pos sess for the task of government, it would seem that an ob stinate desire to get between the legs of the party devoted to safe and salutary progress, for the sole purpose of tripping them up, is the great peculiarity on which the Conservatives rest their claim to the confidence of the Queen and the support of the people. A talent for getting the machine of Govern ment into what the Americans would call a fix, is not precisely the sort of attribute to entitle a party to its super intendence. The speech of Sir Robert Peel, at Tam worth, professes to be a most candid exposition of what he has been doing for the last ten years, but says nothing of what are his intentions as to the month or so during which he may pos sibly be invested with the name of Minister. Everybody knows that he has beentrying with all his might and main to " widen the foundations of his party," and every one knows he has succeeded, for the foundations are too wide—the ele ments too discordant and far apart to admit of any superstruc ture being raised on a basis so devoid of compactness and union. STANDARD.—In the northern division of Durham the o kL i n d ir it ei l ni embers, the Hon. H. T. Liddell ( Conservative) ana tst injuries,hoe r n e Nrn :s et . l vote to Mr. Lambton (Whig-Radical) have been returned.

N o m a " who does an act by the' says the just maxim of u i l s l r a e s ai n ly ot th t e o see the chain of consequences. other, o d author of the act ;" and the reasonab l eness our law, of the rule car, never be more clear than in the identification of a Ministry with the acts of its of the acts porters, and the identification of the acts of Parliamentary sup with the acts of their constituents. Whoev those supporters does not, to the utmost of his *power, oppose er a supports, or candidate, is really responsible for whatever of evil isterial Ministers contemplate. Let not then a single vote ~ the re ceived as a title to support for any man who is b- a supporter . of Ministers. Either the vote generally or the gene ral support has been insincere and dishonest ; and an in sincere and dishonest man is an unfit representative for an upright English constituency. We pass, however, from North Durham, which has been thus neutralised, or t o I speak the truth, been disfranchised, by mistake, neglect, or some unworthy compromise, to better prospects. W e piss to counties where contests have been raised, and where, for that reason, Conservative principles are manifesting their ascendancy. In the West Riding we find, at the close of the first day's poll, her Majesty's Secre tary for Ireland, Lord Morpeth, in a minority of 829 below the second of his Conservative competitors (Mr. Denison), and in a minority of 1,092 below the first (Mr. Stuart Wortley). In 1837 Lord Morpeth defeated Mr. Wortley by a majority of 1,087. We are always slow to proclaim a victory before it is actually won; but at present we have all rational ground of hope that the Conservative candidates in the West Riding will replace Lord Morpeth and his Whig-Radical colleague, Sir G. Striekland. It is remarkable that in the opulent and intelligent districts of Leeds and Wakefield, the success of the Conservatives has been the most conspicuous; it is plain that the electors have not forgotten Lord Morpeth's compliment to their wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters, borrowed from Mr. Daniel O'Connell.

Mr. Sheppard, the Tory Mem ber, polled nine votes less than at the last election, and the Liberals twenty-eight mole. Mr. Stureh, the Liberal candi date, had not even been named three days before the nomina tion, little time was therefore allowed for exertion, and the re gistration, had been neglected. M r . Sh eppar d' s succ ess depended on the votes of fifty weavers renting HU. houses; and the only way to meet this evil i 3 for the liberal party to build a few 101. houses.— Wilts Independtnt.

THE INSURRECTION IN CRETE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—l have read in your Journal the answer which you have made to an article in the Chronicle of to-day, concerning the Cretan insurrection. Permit me to present my best thanks to you for the lively interest you take in the matter, and for the philanthropical and truly Christian sentiments which you advance in favour of this just and sacred cause. If high political questions have brought upon the Editor of the Chronicle the necessity of combating the cause of civilization and humanity, can he for this advance even to calumny, and accuse the poor Cretans as being the most active among the pirates who have infested for some time the Mediterranean. Your article, which 1 have caused to be translated and de spatched to Crete, will alyindantly give confidence to the Greeks, by making them acquainted with the grand and mag• nanimous principles of th e E ng li s h peop l e, prove d b y t h e i r symi athising with their misfortunes. And since you have shown so much solicitude for this good cause, it may perhaps be permitted me to add that the Greeks resident in London, following the example of their brethren in Greece, have opened among themselves a subscription in favour of the com batants in the cause, which has already received a great number of signatures.

Majority for Price, Reformer, over Harford, Tory 21 We are informed on good authority, that the Mayor of Car digan has not been able to make any return in this case, the poll book for the Aberyswith Borough not having duly reached him, it being missing. From the information which has just reached u 3, it appears, that upon Mr. Simons (a professional gentleman of Carmarthen, who had been retained in the Tory interest to attend the polling at Aberyswith) reaching Aberayon, on posting down to Cardigan on his return to ascertain the state of the poll, he was requested by the landlord of the Feathers Hotel to take a small paper parcel to Car digan for him, which was addressed to Mr. Brown the Mayor ; no explanation was given, and the parcel was put in the chaise. Mr. Simons arrived at the Black Lion Inn, Car digan, at eleven the same evening, when being surrountled by the partisans of Mr. Harford, making enquiries as to the poll, it escaped him to think of the parcel, but just as he was about to leave for Newcastle at two in the morning, it occurred to him, and he desired the boots of the inn to fetch the parcel from the chaise, when it was quickly brought him, and which he then handed to the landlord, with directions to forward it to Mr. Brown. What became of the parcel afterwards we are not at present able to say, but we understand that it was missing on the Tuesday morning, and that in consequence the Mayor could not make his return. The Inn at Cardigan was crowded at the time, and the presumption is, that a trick has been played. It is to be re gretted that Mr. Richard 0. Powell, the Tory Mayor, of Aberystwith, transmitted the parcel so unprotected. We are not justified in attributing any undue motive to him, but rather the absence of the proper one—the deliverint the poll book in person to the Returni❑g Officer, or forwarding it by a respon sible person direct. We do not know that any other conse quence will arise from this, but delay and expense, which in any case to a greater or less degree appears certain. If the book should continue missing, it is possible that the House of Commons, after due investigation, may order a new poll book to be made up from the check books of the candidates, and which were made to correspond with the poll book before the latter was closed and sent. We believe there is an instance where the House has ordered additional names to' be inserted on the poll book, and the return made to correspond. If the book should be forthcoming, it will perhaps present. a novel feature for the wisdom of the House, but the trouble and diffi culty will in that ease be, at all events, reduced. It is how ever, to be hoped that the Tory gentlemen of the county will see the book is found, and set this abortive attempt all right, and that speedily. No blame whatever can be attached to Mr. Simons. STOURBRIDGE, JULY 8. FROM A CORIIESPOWDENT.) The Hon. Captain St. George Foley having retired from contesting the Eastern Division of the county of Worcester, the Tories have had the bells of the church ringing, and a band of music playing abou' the town the whole of to-day, accom panied by a gang of hired ruffians, bearing besoms, &c., and in their hats Tory colours. Having an unlimited run of ale from different public-houses, they have become intoxicated, and are assaulting persons as they pass along the streets, and many shopkeepers have put up their shutters. About four o'clock some dispute having arisen between two of their own party, named Heywood and Pearson, both of whom were intoxicated, the former struck the latter and knocked him down, and his head coming in contact with the kerb-stone, a concussion of the brain took place, and he died instantly. Heywood is in custody. ELECTORS !—Ia:GISTEII ! REGISTER ! The 20th of July is the last day for sending in county claims ; and for 101. voters paying poor-rates and assessed taxes in boroughs. County electors who are not already registered for the same property, or who have changed their places of abode since last July, must, on or before the 20th of July instant, send to the overseers of the parish in which their property is situated their claims to vote, which must contain a description of their places of residence, the nature of qualification, and its situation, or the tenant's name ; and they must send with each claim a shilling. Borough electors who live in 10/. houses will lose their votes unless they pay, on or before the 20th of July instant, all poor rates and window taxes due prior to the 6th of April last, whether demanded by the collector or not. Scot and lot voters will be disfranchised unless they pay, on or before the 30th of July instant, all the poor-rates which have been de manded of them up to that day. ELECTIONS TO COME.

Another election will take place before a second registration is made, and it is therefore the duty of all Reformers to loge no time in securing their - right to vote. The To ries have no chance'if w e do our duty : HOW TO .OBTAIN THE . ELECTIVE 7 FRAN CHISE, AND HOW TO AVOID DISFRAN CHISEMENT. • By the English Reform Act, the right to be registered as a voter in the Election of Members to serve in Parlia ment for Cities and Boroughs, is given to every male person of full age, and not subject to any legal incapa city, who shall occupy as owner or tenant any house, warehouse, counting- house, shop or other building of the clear yearly value of 101., but the occupation must be for a year ending on the 31st of July, and suc h p erson mus t be rated. or have claimed to be rated to all rates (if any) made for the relief of the poor during that period, and have paid by the 20th of July, his poor's-rate and win dow-tax payable previously to the 6th of April, and have resided (slept) within seven miles, for six months, Joint occupiers are entitled if the yearly value give 101. for each occupier. Persons, although lodgers, who use a part of their premises (even an attic, kitchert o or cellar) as a shop, workshop, warehouse, store room, or cauntmg-house, if worth four shillings a week, or 101. a year, are entitled to vote. Any lodger who pays this amount of rent has also the right, if his landlord do not sleep on the pre mises, or if the lodger have a separate entrance, or the control of an outer door, or occupy a separate building. It is only necessary in all these cases that the lodgers should require an overseer to put their names on the poor's-rate book (either separately or in conjunction with the landlord) and any payment afterwards made by them may be deducted from the rent, as the landlord will, in consequence of such claim to be rated, cease to be called upon for rates or will pay proportionally less. Where a . man rents a house and the parish officers have rated the landlord, the tenant if occupying will be entitled to vote after he has claimed to be rated or has got his own name put on the poor's-rate. It is not necessary to be rated at 10/., if the premises be worth that sum annually, Every tenant, although a lodger, who is liable to a yearly rent of 50/. is entitled to a vote for the County, if the premises occupied by him do not confer.a. vote fel- a City or Borough, and in this case it is not necessary to be rated. MEMORA.NDA. • The 6th day of April.—To avoid the disfranchisement of Ele -tors in Cities and Boroughs, all the Poor's-rate and Window-tax (if any) payable from them in respect of their premises, previously to the 6th day of April, must be paid on or before the 20th of July. The Window-tax is payable by Act of Parliament,- whether demanded or not. The Poor's-rate is not payable till demanded ; so that it is not necessary, in order to be registered, fur the 101. voter, entitled under the Reform Act, to pay any Pcor's-rate, if it were not demanded previously to the 6th of April, either personally of the voter, or by note in writing left on the premises by the Collector. No man should, however, omit to pay his Poor's-rate because it has not been demanded, as the Collectors may think they have called when they have not done so, and for fear of ultimate neglect, the Poor's rate and Window-tax should be paid immediately. In some parishes there is a Local Act, whereby the Poor's rate is payable before a demand has been made. The 20th day of July.—Parliamentary Electors in Cities and Boroughs entitled under the Reform Act, will lose their votes for the next year, unless they pay on or before the 20th of July all the Toor's-rates (and Win dow-tai, if any) payable from them in respect of their premises, previously to the 6th of April. The payment of no other rate or tax is required for the exercise of this franchise. County voters must send in their claims on or before the 20th of July. The 31st of July.—Scot and lot voters will be dis franchised, unless they pay on or before the 31st of July, all the Poor's-rates payable from them previously to that day. They need not, for the purpose of registration, pay the Window-tax, or any other rate or tax than the Poor's-rates. Beginning of Au g ust.—The Lists of Voters are made out on or before the 31st of July, and may be seen gratis at the Overseers' houses fourteen days afterwards, and on the Church and Chapel doors on the two next Sundays, and may be purchased at a reasonable price. Persons improperly omitted or inserted, must claim or be objected to, on or before the 25th of August. Overseers can ob ject to county voters, by inserting the words " objected to," without giving notice to the party, and may omit the names of any persons from the Lists for Cities and Boroughs also, without giving notice, so that it behoves all voters annually to inspect the Lists, and to observe :if the particulars be correctly described. In case an Elector has removed since the last regis tration, but continues to occupy premises in the same City or Borough, he is still entitled to the franchise, under the 28th section of the Reform Act, which enables persons occupying different premises in succession to be registered. In this case, to secure the vote, the party must claim to be registered in the parish to which he has removed, if the Overseers of that parish have not already inserted his name. All persons omitted by reason of the non-payment of Poor's-rates, should claim to be registered, as the Col lector may not perhaps prove that he demanded the payment before the 6th of April, and as there are many rates not legally made. The non-payment of the shilling annually charged in some parishes, in respect of the registration, does not disfranchise, whether demanded or not. In London the Lists of the Liverymen are exhibited at the Guildhall, and the Royal Exchange. Liverymen improperly omitted, should deliver claims to the Clerk of their Company, and at the Secondaries' office. If no residence appear in the Company's List, the name will be erased. If a wrong address be given, the Bar rister, if required, will correct it. The 25th day of August.—This is the last day for sending in claims and objections in Cities and Boroughs, and for objecting to County voter.% Beginning of September.—The Lists of objections to voters in Cities, Boroughs, and Counties, and of the claims of persons omitted from the Lists of Voters in Cities and Boroughs may, ten days before the 15th of September, be seen gratis at the Overseers' houses, and, on two Sundays preceding the • 15th of September, on all Church and Chapel Doors, and may be purchased for ls. In Cities and Boroughs, the Lists of Objections should be inspected, as no notice is given to the party objected to, and all claimants not entitled to vote should be opposed before the Revising Barristers. From the 15th of September to the 25th of October.— The Revising Barristers now hold their Courts. All Per sons interested therein should not fail to attend. Public notice on the church or chapel doors, and in the news papers, is given of the time of holding the several Courts. The claims and objections of persons who do not attend will be disallowed, and and persons objected to will have their names expunged if they be absent. Mistakes may be corrected. The Ist day of November.—The new registers of voters throughout the country take effect. Copies are sold by the returning officers, at a reasonable price. Should an election take place between this day and the Ist of November, next year, those persons only can vote who have been inserted in such registers ; but persons may tender their votes if the Revising Barrister decided against them. - A CLAIM TO BE RATED. As the parish officers are not in the habit of dividing premises into different tenemznts, it becomes necessary, in order to obtain the right to be registered, for the occu piers of shops, workshops, warehouses, counting-houses, and other lodgings or buildings , to give notice of the oc cupancy to the overseers, and to claim to be rated. No particular form of claim to be rated is absolutely neces sary, for a mere verbal request of an overseer is suffi cient ; but the following form may be adopted : CLAIM TO BE RATED. To the overseers of the parish of I hereby give you notice that I occupy a at No. in street, in your parish, and I claim to be rated to the re lief of the poor in respect of such premises, in order that I may be entitled to vote in the election of Members of Parliament for the city of Dated this day of 184 __ (Signed) of __ _ N.B.—lnsert „ the name of the parish aad the nature of the premises as house, warehouse, counting-house, shop, workshop, stable, shed, or as the case may be, and the name of the street, court, &c., and of the. city or bo rough ; put in the date, 'and sign the names of'the claim ant, and his place of residence at full length. Give this claim to an overseer, and carefully preserve a correct copy ; the party who serves the claim should immedi ately write on the copy to whom the claim was delivered, and the day of the month. If any poor's-rate be due in respect of the premises occupied by the claimant, tender the amount. If omitted from the List of Voters on the 31st of July, claim to be registered on or before the 25th of August. By section 30 of the Reform Act, the Overseers are required to put the name of the claimant upon the rate for the time being, and the claimant is deemed to have been rated from the period at which such rate was made. By section 75, every Overseer or. other person wilfully disobeying the Act, is liable to a penalty of 5001. The claimant need not again demand to be rated, so lonsr as he retains the same premises, but in case of removal a new claim should be sent in immediately with a notice thereon as follows :—" I have removed from a. at No. in street, in the parish of -4 4 It will be better for the claimant that his name be not in serted in the rate as then he can never be a defaulter. A CLAIM TO BE REGISTERED. Every man who believes that he is entitled to a Vote should claim to be registered, and attend before the Re vising Barristers. If his claim be disallowed, and an Election take place, he may then tender his Vote, and the Returning Officer is bound to enter such tender in the Poll Book. A Committee of the House of Commons may afterwards decide that the Vote is goad, and add it to the poll in favour of the Candidate for whom it was tendered. The following is the form of a CLAIM TO BE REGISTERED. TO the Overseers of the Parish of I liereloy give you notice, that I claim to have my name inserted in the List made by you of Persons en titled to Vote in the Election of Members for the City of and that my qualification consists of a at No. in street, in your parish. Dated this day of August, 184 (Signed) of N. 13. Insert the name of the Parish, and the nature of the premises, as house, warehouse, counting-house, shop, workshop, stable, shed, or as the case may be, and the name of the street, court, &c. ; .and of the City or Borough ; put in the date, and sign the name of the claimant, and his place of abode at full length. In Westminster, after the words " persons entitled," add (" under the Reform Act") or else (" in respect of the Scot and Lot Franchise.") After the 31st of July, and on or before the 25th of MORNINN SUN.. aLtend ' i'o f e i • •• . j~hthuir Courts beLween the 13tH , 0f October. A correct copy of this claim sh ould be kept, and the party who serves the claim should immediately write o n the copy to whom the claim was delivered, and the day of the month. In case of removal during the year, the claim should be made in respect of the newly acquired premises. The claim to be registered must be ma de every year that the name . ' of the party is omitted from the List of Voters. The Overseers are required by the Reform Act to include the name of the claimant in ~t h e List of Claims, to be published on the Church -and Chapel doors on the two Sundays next preceding the 15th of September. - KIREALDY ELECTICkIi.i.
