TORY CONCORD. • - ,fkifil the Examiner.) ' The Times denies that there is any disunion in the Tory party, and quotes Sir Robert Peel's assertion— . " That all the rumours which have been circulated about differences of opinion and jealousies are abso lutely without :foundation ; that the party which acts upon his advice and counsels is ii thilted.and compact party, in which no difference of principle prevails, as to the course which we ought to pursue." Let us test the truth of this assertion by arplyhit it in the very words of the speaker to several great questions. Upon the Privilege question did no difference of opinion prevail in the Tory party as to the. Arse which they ought to pursue ? Upon the Canada Bill did no difference of opinion prevail in the Tory party as to the course which they ought to pursue, the Tories in the ;Rouse of Commons, with Sir Robert Peel at their head, havin g almost una nimously supported the Bill, and the Tory Lords, under the Duke of Wellington, having almost unanimously re probated it ? Upon the China question was there no difference of opinion in the Tory party as to the course which they ought to pursue, the Tories in the Lower House having proposed a vote of censure on the conduct of the Go vernment, and the Tory chiefs in the Upper House having opposed a. motion to the same effect proposed by Lord Stanhope ? Upon the New Poor-law does no difference of opinion prevail in the Tory party as to the course which they ought to pursue, half the party condemning the measure as the greatest cruelty and injustice, which the other half claim credit for having assisted in passing ? 'And to come t' the great question which now divides the country, upon the Corn-laws, does no difference of opinion prevail in the Tory party as to the course which they ought to pursue, Sir Robert Peel pledging himself to adhere to the sliding scale, and his followers, Sir G. Murray, Mr. G. Dawson, and some others, declar ing for a fixed duty ? Why, the difference between Sir Robert Peel and Sir G. Murray is precisely as wide as that between him and Lord J. Russell on the Corn-law question. As to the confessed difficulty of Sir Robert Peel, the Government of Ireland, are we to believe that Sir. R. Peel and Lord Roclen have the same views, and that there is no difference of principle between them ? Has Sir Robert relapsed to the yellow fever, or have the Orangemen cast their skins? One of the first motions in the New Parliament will be Sir Robert Inglis's proposal of a large grant for Church Extension. Is Sir Robert Peel in agreement with this worthy as to the fitness of imposing new burdens on the l)iesenters ? Upon the question of educktion is there no difference of principle between Sir Robert Peel and some of his party—the majority we believe we might say ? Did not the Times . lend its columns to a writer who charged Sir Robert Teel with irreligious doctrines—With pre ferring- heathen 'philosophy to revealed truths—and classed him with the disciples of a school not accepting Christian principles. Sir Robert Peel, so often sneered at for having lacked a grandfather on earth, was not to be allowed to have a Father in Heaven, because ho had hazarded the liberal proposition that people were the better for any sort of knowledge. There was surely some difference of prin ciple in the case when the great Tory organ was lending itself to the publication of arguments to prove that Sir Robert Peel's doctrines were of infidel origin and ten dency. Indeed, when the Times so coolly denies the existence of al?.y disunion in the Tory party, we have only to ask it what, then, has been the justice of the censures and reproaches it has from time to time addressed to Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington? Its attacks were upon no trivial occasions, they were on great ques tions, and they either proceeded on wide differences of principle, or they were very unjustand wanton. The Times, in pouring out its reproaches, knew what it was about ; it knew that it uttered the sentiments of a large section of the party .to which it has devoted itself. When Mungo, in the farce, is asked by his master, whether he knows of anything amiss going on in the house, he answers, " A d— deal, Massa, how you beat me every night !" Sir Robert Peel, if he had the frank ness of Mungo, would, instead of denying the discords in the Tory house, refer to the beatings which he has had in the Times for every liberal principle that he en tertains. ...... The Morning Chronicle has helped us to another evi dence of Tory concord from the pages of the British Critic, the High-Church organ of the Oxford theolo gians, in which publication Sir Robert Peel's character is•thus handled : "And, as we have said, the man who offers these con solations is one whose life, and breath, and health, and wealth, and very being is the success of his party ; the least abstract, the least theoretical, the least doctrinary of all the statesmen of his day ; one whose pulse beats with the divisions of the House of Commons, and who knows by heart the relative numbers on every tussle of faction for the last quarter, or, perhaps, half a century. He is a man, who, amiable and respectable as he is, plays his part in the great arena with no more largeness and comprehensiveness of view, no more grandeur and sacredness of principle, than the most ordinary partisan in the most local squabble on the most ephemeral in tere 3ts. Nay, greatness of mind has nothing to do with geographical extent or historical duration. A man may be great on a paving and lighting dispute, or a watch and ward committee ; he may be great with his servants or by himself ; but Sir Robert is small with nations, petty with a . constitution of ages, and (we say it sadly and seriously) unfaithful - to the everlasting Catholic Church. He wishes to know no thing beyond the House of Commons. Its resolutions, passed in heat and speed, under royal or popular domi nation, in days of corruption or violence, its chance ma jorities of ten, two, or one, are his inviolable canons of legislation, beyond which he dreams not of a principle. That House of Commons, which the whole Church of England now, with a unanimity unprecedented in the history of public opinion, declares that Sir Robert has himself desecrated, and (what, of course, he thinks much worse) which he himself believes others have since immeasurably vulgarised,—that profane and vulgar House of Commons is his only reality. Every other thing, or thought to him, is form and shadow. To the House of Commons he is thoroughly harmonised, soul and body, mind and manner. In vain might we search through his speeches for splendid theories, large induc tions, universal sentiments, great maxims, solemn sane- tions, profound arguments, and immutable principles ; or if one does find them here and there, they are so brought in as to be the exceptions that prove the rule. From be ginning to end his career is ono of shifts and expedients. Neither he, nor any man on earth, can venture to say what he will do next ; nor can any say what he has done already, in terms implying intention and con sistency. We firmly believe that no half-cunning tool of a local faction, no jobbing attorney, no town meddler or corporation factotum, could more degrade civic economy by his way of administering it, or, in the hour of re verse, when called to account by the adverse party, could more degrade the cause by his mode of speaking about it, than does the Conservative leader degrade the noble sci ence of policy. It is and my party,' throughout ; those Members who did me the honour to support me ;" when her Majesty called me to preside in her councils ;' I thought best to dissolve ;" the first Session of my Par liament ;' such were the opinions I then advocated ;' the long and arduous struggle I hare maintained ;" / then felt ;' I therefore resolved to abdicate office ;" the sentiments which influenced me on that occasion ;" the difficulties of my position ;" the origin of my family ;' the scenes of my youth ;' and so on, through every possible variety of egotism. Strike the first person out of Sir Robert's speech, aye, out of his whole career, and they become a rope untwisted, a net unknotted, a ship unnailed and unpinned. We stop, not because we have not more to say, for we consider Sir Robert Peel's ego tism about as copious a subject as one might wish to write upon, seeing it pervades his every word and deed, but be cause it is odious thus to speak of a man for whom we can not help wishing well. We believe him to be a kind, an ami able, and, to some extent, a disinterested and magnanimous man. His friends, who have, of course, abundant op portunities of knowing it, say that he is ; and what is even more, his public conduct, through many a year of harass and mortification, betrays scarcely a particle of malice, jealousy, or revenge. But, alas for a little mag nanimity—for martyrdom to an influential minority— for ignorance that the whole is greater than a part. Strip Sir Robert of his inveterate self, and scatter the three hundred and odd gentlemen who do him the honour to support him,' to the four winds, and then perhaps he may become not only a good but a great man. But as it is, he is just the very last person in the whole world to advise a society of operatives to relinquish sel fish, social, and party questions, and devote themselves wholly to the pleasures of- science." This is _forcible writing, and very penetrating criti cism. It is the lowest measure ever yet taken of Sir Ro bert Peel, and it is also the - truest. There is not a word relating to Sir Robert Peel's qualities that we can deny, and though we thought that we understood his character with all its mediocrities pretty well before we read this analysis of it, we confess that it has taught us to regard it with diminished respect. What, then, is the state of a party whose organs lower their chief in the opinion of his opponents? Adversaries may fairly be sus pected of some prejudice against Sir Robert Peel, of some disparaging bias ; but such prejudice, if it exist, takes a lesson of contempt from the instructions of the ablest writers of his own party. They quarrel with him, it is true, not for the errors of his policy, but for the points which reclaim him from bigotry ; but in their quarrel they tell him home truths as to his qualities, and the cha racter of his career, with one foot on sea and one on land. As the writer in the British Critic says,—" From begin ning to end his career is one of shifts and expedients. Neither he nor any man living can venture to say what he will do next, nor can any one say what he has done al ready, in terms implying intention and consistency." And this is the man in the lead of the party that boasts of possessing the wealth and intelligence of the country. The remark that must occur to every mind is, What must be the condition of a party to whom this uncertain manof shifts and expedients and shallow plausibilities is indis pensable ? He is at the same time followed and de nounced. He leads with lithe cry of " Stop thief" after him from his own gang. The British Critic observes upon the egotism of Sir Robert Peel, and says—" Strike the first person out of Sir Robert's speech. ay, out of his whole career, and they become a rope untwisted, a net unkuotted, a ship un nailed and unpinned." This is quite true, -but is it not also true that Sir Robert Peel is the first person, and that without him the rope would be untwisted, the net (in which the country is now caught) unknotted, the ship of Toryism unnailed and unpinned ? His party may hate, scorn, despise him, but they cannot do without him ; and the very littleness which they quarrel with, in him is the littleness which suits their cause ; the shifts and evasions of which they complain, the shifts and eva sions which save it from ruin. The French have a story of a man with a very ugly nose. Everybody agreed that it was impossible for a rr , r_ to bt*nilre TIJe man . i weary•of such a nose, cut it off in diTtis4, and all tilt ,4g 44 ;eitt.,tiiiitt, ill as he looked with his nose , h e was a hundred times:rse without it. Like this is the'case of the Tory party with Sir TZebert Peel for its leader ; it looks marvellously ill favoured, but to lop off the peccant feature would not improve.its case, for, bad as it. is,,with it, it would be in neinparibly worsewithoit it. Tlll4 tiiiieh kir the conso lation of our opponents, whose case, in the very moment of triumph, with the drawback of a leader odious to them; is out, for conapasSiom They cannot themselves be raised to p6W'ef n>i lii it igisl.ttt; the, manof their dis like and distrust ; and they compel the Cro to give . its confidence to one wh o h as no t their own. • . If Sir Robert Peel, feeling himself both the life and the hate of his party, begin to be somewhat arrogant in his language, it is stOely not sttrprising. His recent boast that he laid the foundation of the Conserittive party is a humble imitation of Canning's vaunt that he had called the new world into existence to redress the balance of the old. Whet Sir Robert Peel calls the new Conservative party, is the old Tory party with the addi tion of a few rats. What he describes so pompously as widening foundations, has been no more than making room for apostasy. Vain boasts of the kind we allude to can only make the opponents of Sir Robert smile, but they produce a very different impression on his party, who, impatiently brooking his leadership, can hardly relish his claim to`the creation of their political world. The Americans, in ridicule of the habit of at tributing everything to General Jackson during his Presidency, say, that at at Infant school examination. a child, in answer to the question, " Who killed Abel ?" promptly replied, " General Jackson." Sir Robert Peel, in the infant school of Tamworth, is endeavouring to teach a belief in his exploits in creation, which have as little foundation in truth as the opinion that General Jackson was the greatest of generals and the first of manslayers. The fact is ) however, _pretty notorious, that Sir Robert Peel did not invent Toryism, whatever part he may have had in making it so ashamed of its name as to take the alias of Conservatism. x,76.

A VISION OF THE EDITOR OF THE "STANDARD.', The Election bustle was past and o'er, And thronged again was St. Stephen's floor, Which showed, methought, as in days of yore, (Days which I fear'd would return no more) A band of Tories, each brisk as Wrench, Rang'd in rows on the Treasury Bench, And looking about them with such an air So exceedingly smiling and debonnaire, That my thoughts, which had long been black as night, Cleared up at once at the cheering sight, And I capered, and cried with exulting shout, " Thank God, those infernal Whigs are out !" 'Twas an exquisite View ! the Tory chiefs, No longer burdened with party griefs, But impressed with a sunny sense of duty, Formed a striking foreground full of beauty, While the Sibthorpes and Bens with their beards grotesque, Formed a background still more picturesque. But, alas ! while I gazed with delighted mien, An ominous change came o'er the scene, Which slowly dissolved, like the Views we meet At the Polytechnic, in Regent-street— I looked far Goulburn and Peel, but, 10, They'd both disappeared, like last year's snow, And where they bad sat, I observed with dread That Russell and Baring were seated instead ! I looked for Stanley, he too was gone, Attl his place was usurped by Palmerston ! I looked for Hardinge, but 'mid the rout, He also had marched to the right-about ! And where Sibthorpe had sat, so famed for speeches, There sat Muntz in his Dutch-built breeches, With Dan, the Destroyer, in full-blown pride, Grinning from ear to ear by his side ! In short, not one of the Tory pack But was off in (what Colman calls) " a crack," Leaving the Whig and Radical crew To grace together—the scamps !—this new And unexpected Dissolving View ! ! Shocked at such change, with distracted brain I cried—for I could not my wrath restrain— "Oh d—n it, those Whigs are in again !" Then woke with an asinine bray in my ear, As the Member for Lincoln roared lustily " Hear !" MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 9.—For the first three days of the present week the demand for American descrip tions was quite as good as last noticed, and an advance of ' , i d. per lb. on most qualities could have been readily obtaired ; latterly, however, the inquirers have decreased considerably; the sales each day . have been only moderate, and the improve ment established in the early part of the week, has again dis appeared. In Brazil there has been more doing than for a considerable period, particularly in Ilaranhams, which com mand fully last week's quotations ; the whole of the Peruvians offered by auction to-day were bought in, scarcely a price having been named. Speculators have taken 3,000 bales Ame rican, and 200 bales of Surat, exporters, 200 bales American, and 500 bales Pernam.

It appears that the vessel, which was from King (seorge's Sound last, called on her way to ask if any of the merchants were dis posed to seil stock. The Custom-hLuse authorities imagining he had no right to do, or trade in such a manner, and further suspecting he bad false papers, seized him and put officers on board; the Captain however did not seem to heed their threats, and had actually sailed with the Custom House officers on board. A steamer had been despatched after her but without success, the dishonouring of Governor Gawler's Bill upon the Colonial Commissioners caused great excitement in the colony.

(From the Spectator , ) " Isuhat is an ass crouching between two burdens." They are a patient people the Scotch. It is not easy at this distance to determine whether it is the apathy of contempt or the acquiescence of fear that makes them submit to the ratil Pry disposition of Spiritual reform ers ; but certainly that meddling class take liberties in Scotland that would not be tolerated in any other coun try. A paper has been transmitted to us from Edin burgh, purporting to iv tiro Ikport of the St. George, St. Luke's, :s.-11 'Dean Parishes Auxiliary Sabbath So ciety for 1840." We learn from this document that the Society consists of thirty members, who have organized themselves into three sub-Committees, with a view to ferret out every instance of Sabbath -breaking in the above.mettionea pafisheil. Their Inquisition has ex tended to the mal-practices of bakers, greensgrocers, publicans, druggists, reading-rooms, mills, cowfeeders, pawnbrokers. The bakers have been found guilty of employing their journeymen for the space of half ar , hour every Sunday evening. To obviate the necessity of this awful profanity, the Society modestly propose that " families Should get into the practice of taking no bread at all. on Monday." This hint may be found worth the attention of the supporters of the Corn-laws; as a voluntary abstinence from bread one day in every week by every inhabitant of Great Britain, might render an inadequate supply of grain impossible even in the vietirst harvests. A heavy complaint is made against druggists, because their shops are all " open on the Sab bath, except during church hours, when the door closed ; but on ringing a bell some one appears to dis pense the medicines niquired." We suppose it is deemed sinful in Scotland to be suddenly taken ill on Sunday. Cowfeeders, we learn, are guilty of carrying milk to their customers twice a day on Sundays ; and, what is worse, we are informed that this is unnecessary, inas much as " there might be a total discontinuance, by a little arrangemen", without ileonvalience to families" or loss to the dealers. We fear the comfort of the cows has been overlooked ; an omission which may !ring our zealous enforcers of Sabbath observance into collision with the S ieiety for the--Prvent:on of Cruelty to Ani mals. Have the cows been consulted how far it may consist with their comfort to be left unmilked for a whole day once a week ? But perhaps milking may be winked at, and the sour milk of Sunday disposed of on Mon day, with a slight reduction in price, to the poor. The Society remark that " much effort, perseverance, and prayer, are needed" to bring-about their object. They seem, however, to place more reliance upon " effort" than prayer ; for the active scrutiny which enabled them in two brief months to acquire so much information re specting the private transactions of their neighbour: must have left little room for devotional exercises. Be sides investigating the manner in which all " trades whc. administer to domestic supplies" are conducted, they have inquired into the amusements of the little children seen playing in the streets on Sunday evenings, and the domestic arrangements of their parents. The wealthier classes seem to have been more chary of admitting them within doors, and it has therefore been necessary to esta blish a system of out-door espionage. By this means they have learned that " it is no uncommon thing for gentlemen to walk from 14 church to the reading room," and that " the members of a club-house in Prince's-street are not unfrequently seen at the window:: on the Sabbath reading the newspaperS." Where they dare, the " inquisition of thirty" seem inclined to carry matters with a high hand. In reference to a public gar den they say, " The proprietor seems disposed to pro mote the objects of our Society, but the tenant is re fractory." Indeed the Scotch are a long-suffering people, who can tolerate such meddling . , prying, pestilent proceedings. We abhor all violence • 'we never liked the American process of tarring and feathering ; but we must admit that desperate diseases require extreme remedies. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

A match against time, originating in a bet of 20/4.-between two farmers in Lincolnshire, took place last week on the Cliff Farm of Mr. Charles Popplewell, of Canwick, Mr. Popple well having undertaken to find a man who should, with, one pair of horses and a i,ingle-furrowed plough, turn up two acres of fallow land within eight hours, to the satisfaction of two impartial judges. The plough was started at six o'clock in the morning, and the two acres were completed before one in the afternoon, being within seven hours, to the perfect satisfaction of the judges. The furrows averaged a depth of seven inches, and the share measured only six and a h a lf i nc h es b roa d on the wing. 'J he ploughman's name was prescot,— Sussef Advertiser. BANBURY. ;PUBLIC FESTIVAL IN HONOUR OF :HR. H. VINCENT. On It v th i e 7th inst., a public tea parry Was held in Mr. B. Austin g .t*io,us malthouse, when, no ft. withstanding the unfavourable S*6o of the weather, nearly 800 ladies and gentlemen were intssent to lay a tribute of gratitude to their able and uncotnproinising adcoeatt, Mr, H. Vincent. The nom was splendidly illuminated and Iftirtifelly decorated, some hundreds of paintings, &c., having been kindly lent and a great pro- 1 fusion of flowers supplied for the occasion. Mr. Coleman was called to the chair, and after the tea 'lll.l concluded, Mr. J. Osborn, moved that the follow ing address be presented to Mr. H. Vincent, which was seconded in a very able speech by the Rev. J. Clarke, and unanimously adopted by the meeting " Mr. H. Vincent, " Sir,—The Electors of Banbury, Nelthrop, and the Hamlets, take the earliest opportunity of congratulating you on the honourable position you maintained at the poll during the late severely contested election, and when we look at the number of respectable, intelligent, and honourable individuals who recorded their votes in your favour, we cannot but look at the defeat, if it can be so called, but as a preface to the certainty that awaits you of your being most honourably returned as the Re presentative for Banbury, when we again have the honour of accompanying you to the poll. On looking at the variety of circumstances that have at this time operated against you—the comparative few who knew you, or the principles you have so nobly and honourably advocated—and the prejudices, that have now for ever vanished, that once clouded the minds of some of the electors of Banbury, we hail your minority a triumph, and your defeat a victory. The clouds that appeared in the political horizon when you entered the independent town of Banbury as a candidate for our suffrages, have for ever disappeared, and the glorious sun of political freedom has arisen in the power and splendour of his majesty, and has sent the mighty rays of' democratic govern ment amongst us ; based upon the only true founda tion, the Political Rights of the People. "In congratulating you on the noble stand you have made on democratic principles, and the philanthropic zeal with which you have so nobly advocated those mighty principles in Banbury, we point you to the people's House of Commons,—thither will we send you —to wield your powerful talents, and your sterling in tegrity in the ever-glorious cause of democratic liberty. "We beg to thank you most sincerely for coming amongst us as a candidate for our suffrages—for the great moral principles you have so talentedly dissemi nated amongst us—for your honourable and gentle manly conduct during your canvass, at the hustings, and at the poll—and the noble feelings that actuated you to enforce upon the minds of the assembled thousands the propriety of preserving the peace ; and we beg to bear our testimony, in conjunction with every inhabitant of Banbury, to the perfect tranquillity of the town during the election, attributed by parties of different political opinions to the influence your very powerful appeal has had upon the minds of the people, to keep sober, and receive an insult in good humour rather . . than resent it. "In conclusion, we beg to request that when another opportunity offers, you will again come amongst us to solicit our suffrages, and we have no doubt but we shall be able to place you at the head of the poll." Mr. VINCtNT then addressed the party in a speech of nearly two hours' duration, of which the following is a ,rief report : Whatever my feelings were during the contest, they are nothing compared with my feelings on the present occasion. I feel it pride that though the greet flag was smitten down, my friends have not deserted it. I feel I am not worthy of the respect you show me. I hope you are not come to congratulate me only ; but - that you look further—to God and to our cause. This shall go on until every slave shall be made free, untii the dis tressed are made happy. I have drawn the public mind to the great principles we advocate. If you feel any at tachment to me for the part I have taken in this contest, let us reciprocate this feeling. Though driven back from the poll, yet we have obtained a victory. Was it nothing to see the great mass of the people—artizans, mechanics, ladies, all ranged on our side ? Every man, woniaii, and child, prayed for my success. We have achieved a victory which has put fresh spirit into the Radicals. By whatever r a ne we are called, our principles are the same. We hold that every man shall be prepared for those great national privileges which God has intended him to enjoy. Look at our country—at that part of her population who have fought and toiled for her good. Are they treated as they ought to be ? What are the principles upon which good government is founded ? The first princi ples of government are to promote the happiness of so ciety, to protect the unprotected, to relieve the distressed. The proudest spirit which could actuate the ancient Ba ron was, to take care of the poor—to take care of the ,erfs. And he was then accounted the best man who performed this duty best, who rendered the hearthstone ,if the cottage as secure as that of the palace. There is i mass of misery existing in this country which few are mare of. Few Christians are aware of this : were they they would, as one noble army, come forward and at ,empt to alleviate it. The duty of Government is to pro vide not only for the temporal, but for the spiritual wants of the community. The great body of the people—the la •iourer, the tradesman—are borne down by the character of the times. The plague is abroad ; and every one Knows the plague must go on, unless arrested by a power greater than that which produced it. Is it not much more lifficult to obtain employment now than it once was ? Is , is not more difficult now to make payments good? Every me must bear testimony to the fact, that things are get ,,ing worse and worse. The Conservative says " things ire wrong; we want a Tory Government to make them letter; we want a good war." A good war! we want no war, we want peace and plenty. Our sufferings have been occasioned by war. 'The Whig says you ate right; this country is in a bad condition. I say to him, then, 1 " You have been in power, but you have not bettered this condition." He is obliged to acknowledge this, but pleads many excuses. Sometimes the King opposed hin:, And he durst not take a step in opposition to his sovereign will. But when they had the Queen and her Chambermaids with them, they did nothing. Whig and Tory are alike, both are interested in keeping things as they are. The man who advocates liberty when out, how different is he when he gets into the House of Commons. You should ' endeavour to understand the meaning of party. The Radical party is as prejudicial to your interests as the Tory, unless prepared to give you your share in the re- , presentation of the country. I wish to upset all attach ment to party, and to endeavour to form one great party, founded on the principles of justice, of universal intelli g nce. Let us cast off the swaddling-clothes of political babyhood, and stand forth as men to advocate those principles. If Lord John Russell, Sir Robert Peel, or sir. Tancred advocate those principles, I will give either of them my most cordial support. What are our princi ples? A Radical is a man who wishes the gover nment of the country conducted upon the best principles possible. He advocates cheap government, a government which shall protect every man in the exercise of mental and bodily labour. and throw especially the shield of its pro tection over the worn-out part of the community, and make their deaths as easy and happy as possible. The Radical reads in his Bible that God made of one blood all the nations of the earth; he believes, therefore, that the prince and the peasant are alike equal in the sight of God. Reasoning on these principles, the Radical can not see why a few Peers should govern this great nation, or that a few thousands should govern thirty millions. He asks—how, in every age and country, have the few exercised the power ? And whether he looks to this country, to Sparta, or to Rome, he finds that the' few have used the power they possessed against the interests of the many. They. have ever been reluctant to concede to the people their rights. If they have sought the interests of the people, it has generally been when they have been seeking their own. During the reign of John , _ the Barons said to the serfs, Let us take prerogative by the beard--they took prerogative by the beard, and shook from his callous heart in the field of Runnymede that Charta which is the base, the framework of all. our great national privileges. Lord Grey conceded the Reform Bill. You are told that that measure is a final measure. Final ! in that which must continue to progress ! How atrociously absurd ! What are you promised by the Whigs now ? Cheap bread and cheap sugar. Why do they come forward and pro mise you this ? Because they feel that they have not a peg on which to hang their political hat. So they put in these two pegs, and label one of them "Cheap bread," and the other " Cheap sugar, " thinking thus to have a Ipeg to hang their hats on ; but they are shocking bad hats after all. Our principles are these—Justice for all, injustice for none ; happiness for the labourer, the ar tizan, the shopkeeper. I feel that the spirit of Radi calism must be understood, and its principles triumph. What I have stated to you is true. If there are any.who ithink they can refute me, they are at liberty to c ome forward. If they cannot refute me, let them cast away all doubt and prejudice, and lend me their aid.; On Saturday morning last, as Mr. James Groves, a market gardener from Pinvin, was proceeding down Red-hill, on the London-road, with a cart load of vegetables and fruit, the back chain broke, which caused the shafts of the cart to fall considerably, and the horse took fright and started off at full speed towards Worcester, which threw poor Groves from the fore part of the cart where he was sitting. It appears he held by the cart fur two or three seconds, when he was seen to fall head first, and, the wheel passing over his head, he died instantly. An inquest was held on the body the same day at the Carpenter's Arms, and a verdict of " Accidental Death' returned. Groves was a very steady man, thirty-eight years o age, and has left a wife and one child. AWFUL OCCURRENCE. —On Monday the sth instant, the little village of Hooke, near Goole, was thrown into great consternation in consequence of a report having spread about that the wife of a sailor, named Richard Penni son, had killed herself. Numbers of persons immediately went to the house. and found the woman lying dead. A little girl, daughter of the dece ased, stated that .her father was at Goole, and had gone thither for wages, and her mother had tried to hang herself, but did not succeed. She then took a. fork and stuck it into her throat. No reason, at present, can be assigned for the rash act. The poor woman has left two infant tu ins.— Hull Advertiser. A HANGMAN THAT WOULDN'T WORK.-.... The following odd dialogue appears in the Paris journal called L' Audience, and professes to be a report of a proceeding be-• fore a Correctional Police Court at Stockholm :---Charles T--, an executioner, was brought before the Tribunal on a charge of failing to perform his duty. President--You re fused to perform your duty, it. appears. Defendant-- Oui, mon magistrat ; I found it impossible. President—lf you had any repugnance to the performance of your duty, you should have obtained assistance. Defendant—l. did not prepare la toilette du condamne myself. Aly assistant Peter shaved him in the prison and prepared him for the scaffold. I had not seen him until the morning of the execution. President—And it was then you refused to perform your duty? Defendant— 0 ui, monsieur. President—Well, this caused a delay of two hours : your assistant did not hang the prisoner until twelve o'clock. What I.ave you to say in sour justification ? Defendant—One single sentence. President—Well, explain yourself. Defend ant—The prisoner was my own son.—(Laughter.) The Tri bunal, moved by this extraordinary_ explanation, at .once dis - m issed the executioner. .MEMBERS ELECTED.

The C 2i ß be K ral C c i a T us lr e .— is W =Si n ant r : the Reformers of Cork have done their duty—and although the defeated Conservatives will continue the contest, perhaps until the last man is polled, the struggle area at the commencement of the second day's polling might be said to lie over. The riots, or rather the incentives to riot, continued until eleven o'clock last night. fhe Mayor (Julius Besnard, Esq.) —some say his Uort.hip " dined out"—h ea d e d the cavalry, Sheriff Deeble the infantry, and Sheriff Danman the police. The defenceless people were charged repeatedly through Great George .street, up the Parade, and down Patrick-street. At eight o'clock the word was given —I don't know by whom—to load with ball, the Riot Act was read at nine o'clock, and the city became all through one scene of terrific excitement. 'f he authorities have much to answer for ; the citizens are loud in condemnation of their conduct. How could matters be otherwise ? But the Sheriffs are reputed Orangement—one of them the late master of Lodge 450. CLOSE OP THE POLL THIS EVENING. F. Murphy, E5c....... 1 800 ,062 Colonel Chatterton 70 D.

The. following morning her mail, which had previously been landed at Falmouth, was delivered here—a clear loss of twelve hours by her going into a Western port. Col. Hodges, the late Consul at Alexan dria, and 47 other passengers, are on board, and will re main in quarantine until perfecting 21 days from Alex andria, before she is admitted to pratique. It is quite evi dent the French are playing a deep game in the upper part of the Mediterranean, but they will be well watched, and our fleet was concentrating, to be prepared for any ev,m t. Admiral S irW. Parker found, on his arrival at Malts., that in his command in the Chinese Seas he is to abide by the directions of Sir Henry Pottinger, and, further, the whole of our India naval force is under the directions of the Governor-General of India. The Great Liver pool passed the Princess Charlotte and Castor on the evening of the 29th, about 90 miles east of Gibraltar. The Thunderer, 84, and Lizard steamer, were at Gib raltar. The Hastings had sailed thence for England a few days previous. Orders were received at Gibraltar to detain her on the station, about three hours after her departure. Sir John Ommanney was about to hoist his flag in the Howe. The Britannia had been re-surveyed and found perfectly sound ; a few of her bolts, from which the wood had shrunk, had been re-clinched, and held perfectly tight. The Gorgon steamer was at Alex andria, and the Medea was going up to her with a supply of provisions. The ships left at Malta were the Britan nia, Howe, Vanguard, Rodney, Ganges, Cyclops, Hecate, Acheron, Alecto, and Polyphemus. The Atholl and Sapphire troop ships, the former com manded by Mr. Bellamy, the latter by Mr. Cole, arrived on Monday from Quebec, with the 73d regiment ort board, which has disembarked at Gosport, and there gone into quarters. When these ships left Quebec, the Apollo was daily expected there with the 68th regiment from the West Indies, and she was then to bring home the 24th. The 34th regiment was ready to embark, and would come home in the Cornwall and Somersetshire transports ; the Prince Regent and Boyne would em bark a third regiment, and the Abercrombie Robinson a fourth. The Atholl and Sapphire are ordered to refit. The Seagull packet arrived at Falmouth on Monday from the Windward and Leeward Islands, with a freight of 80,000 dollar. The Pelican, 18, Commander Napier, left Gibraltar, for the East Indies, on the 27th ult. The Vernon, 50, Captain W.

EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCTION.---We have occasionally heard of a turnip of such luxuriance of growth, that a hare, a brace of partridges, or a pheasant, has conveniently found stowage within its ample sub stance. We have not yet heard of the carcase of a sheep being similarly accommodated. Such, however, might literally be the case with respect to a turnip now in the possession of a clergyman near Faken ham, in Norfolk, which is certainly one of the most extraordinary vegetable productions ever witnessed in this country. The turnip in question was sent to the above gentleman by a relative in Aus tralia, upon whose farm it was grown from seed supplied from England. It affords a surprising instance of the rich fertility of the soil and geniality of climate in that region, and, monster a's' it is, is by no means an un usual production there. It was grown in Maria Island, Van Diemen's Land, and carefully packed in strong brine, by which it has encountered the long voyage in a good state of preservation. Its Weight is 841b5., girth 5 feet 2 inches. When first taken up, it weighed 921b5., thus showing a subsequent loss of Sibs. Upon its receipt in this country it was carefully.. unpacked in the presence of several agriculturists, and immediately we7glled and measured, giving the resulti. above stated. Its consist ence is solid, although there are now slight symytlms of decay. Incredible as this statement may appear, the m etaile w d h h o a w ye er b e ee p u re a s t e te n s t te u d po b n y o th p e en s i i n 7a t t h u e res packing of ti gentlemen le case, 44 the turnip itself has been shown to all who • might be curious in such matters, at Fakenhara market nd in the neighbourhood.—Norwich M ercury. ir> - !fig ole; -4 ur 6 a nd , rat ai ,otls r iso ;er to al' titv rite ;0- a em.• ft' 4;4 . e :5
