Attendant upon that re-action was-the dis appointment of "feungry courtiers, all of them anxious for the golden fishes : then came the violent speeches at Canterbury and Rochdale : then there were the calum nies on the Queen. Now, I would ask, were, they per fectly sincere in their professions of economy when they voted a continuance of his former allowance to the King of' Hanover, which he employs for the oppression of his wronged and unhappy subjects ?—(Cheers.) How was it that they had already granted twice as great an allowance to Queen Adelaide as that proposed for Prince Albert, but because the Duke of Cumberland was an Orangeman, and Queen Adelaide friendly with the Conservatives, whilst Prince Albert was suspected of being a Whig ? When I considered all the expenses to which the Prince would be subject, I did not think it an unwise policy to grant a liberal allowance; and I will venture to say that should the Prince ever turn Tory, Sir R. Peel will propose to double his allowance. And now, as it respects the Bud get. The Ministers propose, without any additional taxes, but with a modification of them, to raise the de ficiency and lay the foundation for a future reduction. lam opposed to a fixed - duty upon corn, and all parties seem to have forgotten that nobody had ever proposed to abolish the Corn-laws altogether ; still it is impos sible to enter upon the other questions without some modification of this ; but I am opposed to the duty, because, in a time of high prices abroad, it will be impossible to support that additional duty at home. And now as to the prospects of this election ; in regard to the system pursued by Mr. Collett's advisers, I would seriously ask him whether he sanctions this system of the pot-club, by which now for nearly two years they have been seducing the reason of the electors through the medium of their appetites ? What but traps are they, laid in holes and corners, and baited with three pots of ale to tipple them in .their unguarded moments out of their senses ? Their motto on the tickets was pro rege, lege, grege, . that is, a pot for the law, another for the Queen, and another for the people ; but after the election you will find it —a fig for the people.—(Cheers.) • - . WESTMINSTER'S • NET GLORY. (From the I:4miner.) When we saw it announces Tthat Captain Rous stood for Westminster, we thought of it pretty much as we should have thought of an advertisement, that on ' the 30th of tine Captains Rous would jump into a quart bottle. Iteitemed to us about as likely that a man could get into a bottle as that a person of the - small dimensions of importance of Captain Rous could get into the re presentation of the large interests and great intellige nce of tile City of Westminster. Such an exploit is only to be paralleled in the fairy tales, which delight in miracles of littleness, and Captain bons (though personally no pigmy) is, politically, the Hop o' my Thumb,' or the Puss in Boots' of the new Parliament. How he got in, and not only in but at the head of the poll, is the universal wonder. The Tories themselves are as much astonished at it as the Liberals. The Times says "Another serious disadvantage which attended Captain Rous's gallant start, was the fact that he did not come forward till the last moment. A systematic canvass was wholly out of the question : there 'was no time for it. All that the brave officer could do, was to print his hand bills, mount his horse, and in . -esent himself to the people. This he did [i. e. mounted his horse]•with equal tact and success. Public opinion, instead of requiring to be stimu lated, seemed impatient to express itself in condemnation of the Whigs; and the result is, that this gallent Con ervative is returned at the head of the poll. " Neither was it a trivial drawback to Captain Rotas that he happened to be a perfect stranger to the constituency. So little did the electors know about him, that his committee were obliged to put out a handbill mentioning that he is brother to the Earl * of Stradbroke, arai enumerating his services as a distinguished naval officer. Yet, in -spite of all- these impediments to his success, the popnlaiity of the Conservative cause is now such that theWesitninter elec tors have nobly elected him by a spontanboils and extem pore effort." ii Captain .Rous is the ofgeer who brought the Pique across the Atlantic after the loss of lief :udder ; but. what is his bringing in the4 r ig a utcompared with bring. ing in himself into Westminstir,rithout a stick or straw of political reputation to float upon ? At an election in Bedfitidshive sotte short time ago, the successful Tory candidate paid the electors- the merited compliment of telag that such was the power obtltined by the Conservative Association, that lie verily believed that if it had proposed: an, ass as a fit and proper representative of them; the, ass would have been deleted. Who g ood gentletn4n iiLd not per- Qt.ive that what, he stated hypothetitallihad , come to pass in fact. Now Captain Rous is too good a sailor to be an ass, but he is a cipher in political reputation, and the same influence which causeu the return of so obscure a person for so important a borough would have done the same with one of the Captain's swabbers. The new Member for Westminster is but the outward and visible sign of tae influences- of Tory gentlemen and fine ladies in the city of Westminster. Ile• represents the intimidation of tradesmen. The corrupt influences had an effect in his case which they would not have had if exerted for a candidate of more mark and likelihood ; for tve are assured that Liberal tradesmen consented to vote for him, or to abstain to vote for his opponents, believing that the success of such an unknown person was utterly out of the question, and that it was unneccessary for them to expose themselves to any loss or molestation for so safe a cause as that of the Liberal candidates. Captain Rous may therefore, like little Acres, be grateful to his•insig nificance as his best friend. If a renegade like Sir James Grliani. or if any Tory of mark, had by force of the corrupt influences obtained the suffrages of a majority of the electors of Westmin ster, the degeneracy, of the city, which was once the stronghold of Liberal opinions, would have been matter of lamentation and shame; but when we see a Captain licus in the representation of it, the sense of the ludi crous prevails over all other feelings. Westminster must 1?e the mockery of the country. treatment ivVich she had experiaked at the hands of her inhuman master ; and he foteriMt the fish tail and the scaly neckpiece were artfully fastened on with flesh coloured silk. On her body he discovered the bbiod stained marks of punishment which she had received from "farouche Hudson." He was immediately arrested and thrown into prison, and before the tribunal he con fessed that he had taken "his Siren" on the banks of the Thames ; that it was, in fact, a young woman, whom he had fitted with a tail and exhibited merely for the sake of making money. The young' woman, whose real 'lame turned out to be Jane Soane, was introduced, and described her suffer ings from the immersion. She suffered greatly from the cold, and all her teeth, she said, had fallen out from its effects. President—Row was it that you did not, when pei - sons came to see you, make known the cruelties which were practised on you ? Jane Soane—Oh, no, I dared not. If I opened my mouth, he pulled the cord immediately. President—What cord ? Jane Soane (pointing to her neck)—lt was fastened here, under the scales. If I attempted to speak, he pulled the cord, and I was plunged under water in an in stant.—(Expressions of indignation.) The Court sentenced Hudson to imprisonment for life. He heard his sentence with a smile, and said, " Qui vivra verra 1" and was led out whistling an Irish air. NAVAL. INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.)

(From the Spectator.) It is curious enough, in 'the case of the few consti tuencies who have evinced a desire at the present elec tion to-secure the services of really independent repre sentatives—men unfettered by party connexions—to note within what a very narrow circle their choice has revolved. Messrs. Grote and Hume, (incongruous juxta position !) Sir William Molesworth, Messrs. Cobden and Smith, Colonel Thompson mid Mr. Ewart, almost exhaust the catalogue. It is the necessity of the case that has made it so brief. There is a lamentable de ficiency of able and trustworthy public men. Even were. the constituencies more intelligent and less apa thetic, men able to do justice.to their qpinions and senti ments in Parliament have yet to be discovered—have yet to be formed by circumstances. This state of affairs affords rather a melancholy prospect for the future ; the more so, that the small number of good men and true is more likely to receive diminution than an in crease in the first instance. Mr. Grote has. positively refused to take any further part in public business for. some time ; Sir William MoleSworth, having made no effort. to get himself elected, is likewise well contented to stand aloof for the present ; and a similar inclination to 'reserve themselves for better times is apparent in other quarters. 'We cannot disapprove of this resolu tion : by mingling in the faction-fights of a time when nothing can be done, a statesman is apt to waste his energies; which ought to be reserved for fitting occa sions—perhaps also to expose himself to misapprehen -Ou the-other hand, thefe itva-.hazard in any. man who -has engaged in the business of politics withdraw ing for a time. He may acquire a taste for retirement unfitting him for the resumption of his task ; and as nothing is stationary, he may find when he returns, that he has fallen in arrear of the topics and business of the day, and has been forgotten by the herd who live only for the moment. A secession of a very few years may make any man feel that he belongs to a past generation, and is out of place in that which exists. Neither Mr. Grote nor Sir William Molesworth can be indolent and inefficient members of society : their retirement will be fully occupied by literary labours, for which their tastes and talents well fit them, and which may have a lasting influence on the public mind. But we cannot close our eyes to the danger that their tempo rary secession from the active business of life may be come permanent, in an age so lamentably barren of men who combine with high principle and intellectual superiority the inclination a nd ability to engage in active politics. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON. On Saturday the annual distribution of prizes in the faculty of arts and laws took place. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd. M.P., presided. Professor MALDEN read the Report on behalf of Pro fessor Melia, the Dean of Faculty. It gave a most gratifying account of the progress of the Institution during the past session, more especially in the higher departments of literature, science, arts, and laws. Al-' though the number of students had not increased this year, there had been a very considerable increase of the school, and it was only reasonable to conclude that the fuller the fountain the more abundant would be the stream. The attainment of honours was the best evi dence of proficiency. Four students of the first class and four of the second had taken the degree of 8.D., and one in mathematics and one in classics had been similarly distinguished ; and two pupils had cagied off the scholarships endowed by Dr. Williams, requiting the study of theology for ministering to Dissenters, which had heretofore been confined to M.A.s of the Scotch, and B.A.s of the English Universities. During the last year a drawing class had been established, which in the next session' would be far more important, as a class for the study of civil engineering had been introduced, which Mr. Charles Vignoles, a gentleman of high emi nence, had consented to superintend for a limited period, and would next session deliver a course of lee lures in that important department of practical science. The several Professors then awarded the prizes as follows : . e „, „ 4 171. , ... , r. /2 .., , . ..--- . z: -....t.:.4.--0) f- ,4;i./.7-1/41....., /,,---i-i-' , .. - '''-i -t - f- - ---X ----(//- - . ; .400 • ---.-----' /4:/t°7 augury of the prospective advantages held forth by th,2 institution. Not having had the advantage of collegiate instruction, it inight' be said that he regarded it with a stranger's love ; but his reverence for such institutions was the natural offspring of a kindred spirit. He looked without envy to the two great Universities of this coun try ; he gloried in them as the nurses of learning and knowledge ; and it was in no spirit of hostility towards them that he rejoiced to find that they had in that insti tution a rival which should urge them on to higher and nobler achievements. It was meet there should be some such seat of learning in this great metropolis, the emporium of the arts, the repository of wealth, know ledge, and intellect ; but its chief feature and main re commendation was, that the blessings derivable therefrom were conferred on all who sought them without distinction of party or of creed.—(Loud cheers.) Yes, he rejoiced to say, that no such invidious distinctions were recognised there. It was based on the broadest, the purest,the most comprehensive principles of universal philanthropy. It was the diffusion of mental knowledge, the triumph of mind over matter, which had penetrated even the track less deserts of America, the wilds of which were now haunted by visions of beauty and loveliness.—(Cheers.) And should it be said that those who speak the great tongue in which Shakspeare and Milton wrote should be denied the privilege of partaking in those advantages which institutions such as that could impart ? No doubt it was delightful to think upon the quiet and sequestered retirement afforded in the acadeinic groves of Oxford and Cambridge ; but it mattered not whether the student reclined beneath a gothic arch or a colonnade of corin thian pillars. Those whose studies had more immediate reference to their future pursuits, he alluded especially to the professions of medicine and law, mighi, look out with advantage on the business of life, and study the world in its bolder outlines of reality. Nor would they be likely to prosecute with less effect those studies when rewarded by the approbation of affectionate relatives and sympathising friends. By thus looking out upon the map of life, they would hereafter be the snore likely to illustrate precept by practice, and to seek for that glory which vas preferable to riches. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded a very able and eloquent address (of which our limits preclude the possibility of giving more than a brief outline) by congratulating the assembly an the great proficiency of the pupils, which he con sidered as the very best test of the utility and importance of that noble Institution.—(Cheers.) The company separated at half-past four 0'c10315, all evidently delighted with the proceedings of the day. MORNING SUN. NE, PETER BORTHWEJK.• (FRO3I A CORRESPONDENT. ).

Gwatkin and Glenn, on board a flat boat on the Ohio river, was executed at Louis ville, United States,_ on the Bth ult., a littl e a f ter six o ' clock in the morning. The rope not « playing " well occasioned the knot to slip up over the chin instead of being under his car, so that his neck was not broken by the fall. Previously to his execution he wrote a letter to his lather, in which he stated that he was present when the unfortunate men were murdered; that he did not participate in the act, but was compelled to beg his own life from two men who murdered them. He was cut down after hanging about 2.5 minutes, and his body given to the doctors for the purposes of expe riment. The Louisville City Gazette gives the annexed extraordinary circumstances attending an experiment with the galvanic battery :—" The poles of a powerful galvanic pile, which had been prepared for the occasion, were imme diately applied to him, and, to the unutterable joy of all pre sent, with the most perfect success. On the first application of the fluid to his body, which was yet warm and trembling, a universal tremor was seen to pass over his frame : on a sudden he arose from his bench to a sitting posture, and with great eagerness and impatience raised his hand to hi; neck, trying to grasp the scarf in his fingers, and tear it from his throat ! Ho first snatched at it with great rashness, as though the rope was yet around his neck, and then continued some moments picking at the seam with his fingers, as though it was something that adhered to his throat giving him great uneasiness. But this symptom was soon forgotten, for almost the next moment he rose upon his feet, raised his arms level with his breast, and, opening his bloodshot eyes, gave forth from his mouth a most terrific screech, after which his chest worked as if in respiration, in a very violent manner. Every one at this minute was as mute as death, when one of the sur geons exclaimed that he was alive. The excitement was too great to allow time for a reply to the remark ; every eye was rivetted upon the agitated and shaking corpse. The operator continued to let upon it a full quantum of the galvanic fluid, till the action upon its nerves became so powerful that it made a tre mendous bound, leaping by a sort of imperfect plunge into a corner of the room, disengaging itself entirely from the wires which communicated the galvanism. All imme diately drew around the body. For a moment after its fall it seemed perfectly motionless and dead; a surgeon ap- . proached, and, taking hold of his arm; announced that he thought he felt a slight though a single beat of the pulse. The galvanic operator was just going to arrange his ma chine to give him another charge, when the surgeon ex claimed that he breathed. At this moment he gave a long gasp, rising and gently waving his right hand ; his sighs continued for two minutes, when they ceased entirely. His whole frame seemed to be agitated; his chest heaved, and his legs trembled. These effects were supposed to be caused by the powerful influence of the galvanic fluid upon the nerves ; none of these movements were yet suppos,e4 attributaisle to, the action of tife.. It was considered 'that the animating principlg tuve had lefehistfame aistrcettld niver.he,again rextored.lo the very height of anxiety, the, surgeon announced that- be could feel feeble pulsations. A piece of broken looking-glass was immediately held before his nostrils, which was instantly covered with a cloud. The most intenso,anxiety was felt for some seconds, when the motion of his chest, as in the act of respiration, became visible. Ile rolled his eyes wildly in their sockets, occasion ally closing them, and giving most terrific scowls. In about five minutes his breathing became tolerably frequent—pro bably he would give one breath where a healthy man would give four. His breathing, however, rapidly increased. The doctors began to speak to him, but he gave no indications that he heard a word. He looked upon the scene around him with the most deathlike idifference. A young medical student approached him, and, taking hold of his arm and shoulder, White rose upon his feet, took two steps thus supported, and seated himself in an armchair. His muscles seemed to relax, and he appeared somewhat overcome with the exe rtion he had made. A bottle of hartshorn was im mediately applied to his nose, which revived him, but his life seemed to be that of a man much intoxicated. He seemed upon ene occasion to try to give utterance to some feel ing, but, from an unknown cause, an impediment prolobly occasioned by the execution, he was unable to give utterance to a word. His system was critically examined, and, though he was pronounced by the doctors to be perfectly alive, yet he could live but a very few minutes, for congestion of the brain was rapidly taking place. Every method was adopted to equalise the circulation and save the patient from the terrible conse quence of se sad a.catastrophe, but in fain. The blood ves sels of the head weed enormously distended, and his *eyes ap peared to be balls o , : clotted blood. His system was immedi ately thrown into diteful spasms, and he died in a few minutes in the most excruciating agonies." The Duke of Wellington arrived on Thursday at Walmer Castle, with the intention of residing there for a month or five weeks. Ile is in excellent health, had was not the least fatigued by his journey. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Prin cess of Capua, family, and suite, are sojourning for the present at Richmond, in the private house annexed to the Star and Garter, formerly occupied by the Russian Am bassador, Prince Lieven. THE EXILED BOURBONS." All the Royal Family," says-the Gazette de France, " have arrived at 4 Kirchberg, where, as usual, they will stay during the summer. The Duchess de Berri will join the family on the 15th of July, the day of St. Henri. After this family fete, her Royal Highness will proceed to Toplitz, to take the waters, and will return at the beginning of September. The Duchess has lately entertained at Brundsee and at Gratz her uncle and aunt, the Prince and Princess of Salerno." " I have served in the Furness yeomanry for 22 years," said a retiring officer—" And never lost a battle," rejoined his neighbour. "No ! "—" Nor never won one," remarked the querist. _ - , A sharp hail storm was felt at Bardsea a week ago, some of the hailstones were as large as marbles.

CAPTURE OE FOXES.—On the Morning of the 9 Ctli instant, William Braithwaite and Peter Moon, re siding in the neighbourhood of Crosthwaite and Lyth,: proceeded to Annas Sties, in Whitbarrow, a famous breeding hole for foxes. A terrier was put into tile hole, and succeeded in killing a dog cub-fbx, but they were not able to get it out. Nest morning they commenced blasting, and succeeded in capturing other four. Two were dead, but the other two were taken alive. They found in the den, parts of rabbits, hares, lambs, hens, ducks, pheasants, &c. &c. The same individuals have captured, since February, fourteen foxes, and thus ridded the neighbourhood of many of the greatest pests which annoy the farmer. They have also laudably refused to sell those they have caught, considering that the in terests of their neighbours were paramount to all other considerations. The other five, the same men got two or three weeks ago, nears the same place, One of the cubs was presented to a gentleman in this town on Sa turday last, and he now has it safely ensconced in a kennel. THE BOROUGH ELECTION.--We understand that the proofs of acts of bribery resorted to at the elec tion, by the agents and partisans of Lord Bruce and Mr. Martyn, are so clear and open, that the Liberal elec tors of Southampton are resolved to bring the matter fully before the House of Commons as a petition, which will certainly deprive the new Members of their dearly purchased seat.—Southampton Paper. Mr. Gordon, sen., who for many years fulfilled the duties of British Consul at Havre in the most exemplary manner, died there on Tuesday, aged 69, and universally re gretted. The office of Consul has been for some time held by Mr. G. Gordon, son of the deceased. USE OF LIME IN PLANTING TREES.—A large plantation has, within the last two or three years, been forzted in this neighbourhood without the loss of a single tree, and this has been achieved by a very simple process. It is merely putting a small quantity of lime in the hole with the plant. About four bushels of lime will suffice for an acre. It must be thoroughly mixed and incorporated with the mould before the plant is in serted. The effect of the lime is to push on the growth of the plant in its first and mos t precarious stage : new fibres begin to form and ramify from the tap-root, and not only is the safety of the plant insured, but its growth a advanced in double ratio.—lnverness Courier.

The trial of these important pro jectiles had better be continued at Portsmouth till this matt glaring evil has been remedied. Between seven and eight o'clock on Thursday evening last, the inhabitants living in the quiet village of Ospringe, near Faversham, in Kent, were greatly terrified by an explosion at one of the powder-mills connected with the extensive premises of Messrs. Hall and Co., situate about a mile and a half from that village. The explosion was one of considerable magnitude, and the mill in which it happened was a small wooden building, wholly detached from any other premises. It appears from inquiries made, that it occurred in consequence of the carelessness of a workman, who left what is called a "green charge" exposed. He was the only person at work in the place, and had not quitted the premises more than three mi nutes before the accident occurred. Fortunately no person was near the spot at the time. The mill was blown to atoms, and remnants of it were found scattered in all directions. BOMBAY.—A singular revolution has lately been produced here in the newspaper trade, so to speak.

Dover, the Chartist, after the conspicuous position in which he placed himself at this election on Monday morning, at temptnl on his withdrawing his nomination of Mr. Eagle to reti eat from the hustings., but the crowd without loaded the poor wretch with reproaches, hustled and assaulted him with such severity, that he took shelter in a house in the Dove-lane, from which hezwas torn out, and it became matter of difficulty to get hack to tlie Hall. Dover uemainedensconced in his sanc tuary, but at night the popUlace re-assemblid in,stronger force, pelted the police with stones. wounded them severely, and broke the windows of the Hall. Mr. Hudson, who had come to the scene of action about nine o'clock, deemed it in dispensable to have recourse to the military, and having de spatched a message to the Commanding Officer at the barracks for a troop of horse, the Mayor read the riot act, and directed the market to be cleared, which we should have previously stated the police had attempted with great courage, but which their numbers could not effect, for though driven from one point, the crowd immediately returned to another. Under cover of this protection, Dover escaped by the Fish-market,and peace was restored. During the whole of Tuesday the same stormy agitation and swell was perceptible in the Market and in different parts of the city. The vengeance against Dover was unappeased, and at night a meeting of Chartists was held in the market, where they were addressed by men who imputed to Dover the failure of the whole plan. It was soon announced that be had taken refuge in a public house (the King's Head), in Middle street, St. George's. Thither the populace hastened, and many thousands occupied that and the adjacent streets about nine o'clock. Accounts of the tumult being brought to the hall, Mr. Hor. Bolingbroke despatched a small body of the police to the spot, and, farther aid being re quired, the Mayor and Mr. B. headed the whole force. In the mean time a furious encounter bad taken place at the King's Head, St. George's, Middle-s t treet, where Dover defended himself desperately against his assailants at the top of a nar row stair with a sword, and there is little doubt wounded some of them. But he was taken in the rear by a party who broke in at the windows, and driven into the streets. Hence he. was hunted like a wild beast to the top of Elm Hill, and his clothes torn from his back. He was tossed into the air, suffered to fall with his unbroken weight upon the stones, and being a bulky man, received some severe wounds and contusions. Here he was res cued by the bold efforts of the police, and got into a house. The Dragoons again were called out, the Riot Act read, and under their escort, headed by the Mayor and Mr. Boling broke, he was conveyed to the hospital in the gaol. Several persons were taken into custody, who were examined by the Magistrates on Wednesday. FINE ARTS. LINCOLN. Th e following extracts from a spirited sperch made by Sir E. L. Buiwer at the election will be read with inte rest :—" Mr. Swann considers my support of the pre sent Administration as disqualifying me from being your representative ; but he only looks at my speeches and niy votes in behalf of the Government, he does not make any account of those given against them. Ile reminds me of the Sultan who had only one eye, and who would have his portrait taken ; the artist was in a dilemma, for it would have been _high treason to have represented the Sovereign with only one eye, whilst, if he had drawn him with two, the faithful would not have known him ; he at length hit upon the expedient of draw ing the Sultan in profile. Now, Mr. Swann has been looking at my votes in profile ; with the one eye he sees my support of the Ministers, but with the other he is per fectly blind.—Xheers.) I allow that I have supported the GOvernment in all their great measures for the advance ment of human liberty. I have voted with them for carrying out the principles of Parliamentary Reform, and also the Municipal Reform, but I have opposed - them on questions on which Colonel Sibthorp himself has supported them. I opposed them when Colonel. Sib thorp voted with them respecting the great question of immediate emancipation to the negroes. We carried it by a small majority, and thoSe who were present as de legates from anti-slavery societies have been pleased to say that it was in a great measure owing to the speech with which I closed the debate that the majority was gained.—(Cheers.) I voted against the Government on the question of ballot, when they were also supported by Colonel Sibthorp.—(Continued cheers.) In the late Session I voted for an inquiry into the conduct of Lord Cardigan—(Hear)—and was opposed to the Government and Col. Sibthorp. Again I was opposed to them on the question of some mitigation to the imprisoned Chart ists, for although I disagree as mu ch as any man with the sentiments they have expressed, heaven forbid that I should wish the man who differs from me in political opinions to be treated as a felon. I therefore say that my votes and my `speeches have not been fairly exam. fined, and that they have been entirely overlooked where they were opposed to the Government. I was glad to hear Colonel Sibthorp just now disclaim the new-fangled name of Conservative, and cal l himself a Tory ; I was always surprised that they should be giving up their old names to be sneaking under an alias ; it is only bad ser vants who change their names, when they have been dis missed for delinqueney.—(Cheers and laughter.) To resist change when everything else is altering ; when machinery has made such rapid progress, that human labour is risen almost to a science ; when, if our ancestors could arise, and walk down the streets of Lincoln, they would suppose all that they beheld to be the effects of magic ; in politics, and in politics alone, there is to be no progress, Now the railway will convey us from Nottingham to London in six hours and a half, instead of the old slow and sure coach which perford the journey in four days a nd three nights, " God wme illing." We are stiff to adhere. to the old Constitution, under which witnesses were put upon the rack, and old women w ere burnt as witches .—( Loud cheers.) My principles are totally the reverse. Ido not advocate change for its own sake, but that our institutions shall advance with the progress of society instead of standing still. What does Sir Robert Peel offer except this stand-still, do nothing principle, should he come into office ? Does he hold out any hope, any expectat ion of p olitical amelioration ? He throws to the winds the hypocri tical argument about the horrors of slav er y ; and t h ou gh it is inconvenient now to alter, he does not say what he would do hereafter on the subject of the sugar duties. Then, in regard to the Corn - la ws— it has been said that my address was ambiguous—what does Sir Robert Peel say ? He asks you to make him prime minister, and then he will tell you what he will propose fairly and candidly. , He says he is in favour of a sliding scale, but whether that is to be up to 30s. or 405., or down to 2s. 6d., he does not tell you—all is ambi guous. Talleyrand once said that speech was given to man to enable him to disguise his sentiments ; he cer tainly roust have had Sir Robert Peel in his eye when he said that.—(Cheers.) Amidst so vast a variety of topics as have been introduced, two subjects I shall touch upon briefly; they are the Poor-law and Prince Alberts's an nuity. I have always said that the law is capable of much mitigation, a.ld I would greatly extend the principle of out-door reLief to persons above a certain age, and I am against the separation .of a g e d mitigatio pi e s n t proper distinction to indust r y is compatible with a over indolence. Whatever has been the effect elsewhere , here there has been no unholy alliance between Tor' and Chartists —no entrapping men . as supporters of se dition, who, in the days of Mr. Pitt, would have been hung up by dozens, and in those of Sidmouth and Cas tlereagh, would have beep trampled down by hundreds on the plains of Preston and Peterl?o. It is sadit sai oh t M he r. Wilk es , that, on one occasion, being . charg profligacy of his public life on the hustings at Middlesex, he dexterously evaded the matter by solemnly asking the accuser " who murdered his washerwoman last Monday," and w ho on this imputation himself scarcely escaped being murdered. So do these peo ple bring their cas es . a g a i nst the Poor-law, founded on some manufactured report in Mr. Walter's Tunes, " who starved suc h a man in the b astilewh n o murdered his. washerwoman ? "—(Loud cheers.) 'O the subject of the annuity to Prince Albert, the ques tion having been fairly put, it is right that I should enter on my defence regarding that vote : but let us look at the circumstances_ A short time previously, Sir Robert Peel was called to office, and demanded the right to nominate all the female attendants upon the Queen. That demand was unaonstitutional, and her Majesty acted as the free Sovereign of a free people in refusing POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—THE DISSOLVING VIEWS. We were favoured, on Saturday, with a sight of several new Dissolving Views, which were privately exhibited at this institution. The sud den and startling changes that take place in these views by the simple agency of light and shade, might almost induce one to believe that they were brought about by the wand of a necro mancer, or by the caprices of one of those genii of whose marvellous doings we have all read in the delightful pages of the " Arabian Nights." At one moment the spectator is gazing on the Palace of the Dove of Venice; , the next, a dim mist slowly and stealthily creeps over the scene ; a mountain starts up, where but a second before there stood a solid pile of architecture ; the paved square becomes a'lake, low down on whose rock-bound shore appears the Castle of immortelized by the peaof Byron. Be . foa the eye hastheeane fully familiarized with this wild, Alpine landscape—lo, another change ! Lake, rock, and mountain have disappeared, and you see the interior of the gloomy fortress, with two captives chained to pillars in the dungeon ! The colouring, and more particularly the per spective, of this picture are the most perfect illu sions we ever witnessed. The dull, discoloured brickwork of the:columns, arising from continual damps; the dirty, mouldering floor, half earth, half stone; the forlorn aspects and crouching attitudes of the pining and sickly prisoners, who seem almost choked with the heavy, mephitic air of such a charnel-house;—these various ob jects are pourtrayed with a truth 'of effect that seems little short of miraculous. While we gaze with an eye of pity en these captives—memory carrying us back to the days of Bonnivard, who wore away twelve long years in this very thrtress—their figures fade and become extinct, the gloomy cell, too, disappears, and we see, instead, the caves of Ellora, so often spoken of, in terms of astonishment and admira tion, by Oriental travellers. An instant, and these, also, have vanished, and we behold a noble steam-ship sailing over the broad bosom of the Atlantic. There are several other Dissolving Views, but the above are the most remarkable, and the most cleverly executed. On the whole, the exhibition is the most interesting one at which we ever attended. It is like the realizing of one's most vivid and wildest dreams, and forcibly recals Shakspeare's noble lines, " The cloud-capt towers, the gorgeous palaces, 1 The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherits shall dissolve, And like the baseless fabric of a vision, Leave not a wreck behind." A PARLIAMENTARY FREE TRADE PARTY. (From the Spectator.) Mr. Villiers showed that he understood the capabili , des and exigencies of the time and circumstances, when he told, in the House of Commons, that the result of this election could only be to send some Members to Par liament, who would prepare public opinion to influence the next election i n a proper way. Mr. Cobden, too, seems, from the postscript of his Dundee letter, to en tertain just notions of the present condition of affairs— " We want a few good commercial men, to form a Free trade party in the next Parliament." There can be now little doubt as to which party will have the majority in the new Parliament. But even a majority in favour of the authors of =the Budget, would not alter the case. Free-trade and Financial Reform, are mere words in the mouths of the leaders of both parties. Any House of Commons we can have at present—with the present con stituency, in the present temper of that constituency— will be found utterly worthless for great legislative pur poses. The'only use it can be put to, is to make it the arena of discussions regarding national policy, which will be sure to boread by all—to make it the channel for circulating sound lessons of political economy, finance, and national policy, throughout the country—to speak in Parliament, and through Parliament to the people, with the weight. which attaches to the character of a member of the Legisture. If Mr. Cobden bring to the aid of Mr. Villiers, in what is to him the yet untried field of the House of Commons, the same intelligence, energy, and uncompromising character, which have made him out of doors the acknowledged leader of the Anti- Corn-law movement, he may be instrumental in gather ing around them a "Free-trade party" which will he powerfully efficient in the political education of the community. But, to enable him and his coadjutors to effect this desirable end, they must not confine their Parliamentary labours to that especial question. They must, by their regular attendance in their places, by the evidence they give that no part of the public businegs escapes their notice, and by efforts to attain that mastery over Parliamentary forms which makes even a minority powerful in the House, gain the confidence of the reso lute and judicious few who out of doors really form . the public feeling that is expressed by the many. Above all, they must throw themselves without reserve upon the popular sympathy, and identify themselves in every • thing, as in Free Tra de, with the p eo p le at lar g e.

A MODERN SIREN, OR LIVING MERMAID. EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF CRUELTY. (From L' Audience—Paris Journal.) The following " cock and bull" story, which, as the Americans say, is " extraordinary if true," appears in in one of the Parisian Journals The Sirens, those supernatural Creations—half woman and half fish—owe their existence to that fruitful source of wonders, fabulous history. They were, according to this authority, the daughters of the river Achelons and the muse Calliope ; their names were Parthenope, Len cothce, and Ligeia. These beautiful divinities, having in their pride dared to defy the Goddesses of Olympus and the Muses of Parnassus, lost their wings as a punish ment, and retired into the deserts of Sicily and Campania. Those who have chosen to moralise upon this fable, assert that the Sirens were nothing better than courtezans, who dwelt near the sea-shore in Sicily, and, who, by their volup tuous attractions, so fascinated all - who paSSekthat they utterly forgot their occupations and lost their way. They add, moreover, that the names and number of the three Sirens were founded upon the triple pleasure of the senses—music, love, and wine. From this idea they have derived the etymology of the word Siren—namely, from the Greek word seira, a chain—by which it is sig nified that their charms were as a chain about those who came within their influence. The last great occasion on which the Sirens appeared on the scene was when the sage Ulysses made his escape from them—thanks to the counsels of Circe. The Sirens, seeing the learned warrior escape them, were so chagrined that they plunged into the ocean and were never seen more—such is the assertion of the mytholo gical writers. But it now appears that this is a mistake: they have once more appeared. M. Amedie Pichot, the learned editor of the Revue Britanniquc, has published an article upon the Sirens, which would alone suffice to re-establish the fact of their existence and their powers in our own days. The story it contains is as follows Towards the end of the month of February last, an Englishman, named Hudson, took up his residence at Rome, near the Porta del Popolo, and announced in the Diario di Roma, the Gazette of the Holy City, that he had a most extraordinary object for public exhibition, in a word, no less rare an object than a Siren ! On the appearance of this announcement all the sevens of Rome hastened to visit the rooms of Mr. Hudson, and, surpri prising as it may seem, every one came away with a full conviction of,the bona fide character of the exhibition, a most charming creature, half woman half fish, was found reclining in an immense bath ; her head was adorned with long black locks, among which marine plants ap peared to grow ; her face was charming, and the features perfectly regular ; but in the place of a neck she ap peared to have a sort of collar of scales, and the " crea ture" terminated in an immense fish-tail, which floated in the water with all the vitality of a real natural fish But cette bizarre creature spoke not a word—ever and anon she would Open her mouth as if about to speak, and then instantly plunge into the water. It will readily be conceived that such au exhibition excited a lively cu riosity among all the wonder-loving world. The Prince Borghese, the Due de Bordeaux, Count Briggeis, and Don Sebastiano d'Alvar, of Spain, were among those ivho satisfied themselves that " it" was alive and en bonne sante. •The people shared t h e curiosity of the great, and manifested even a larger share of enthusiasm, as well as a strong desire to penetrate into the mysteries of the existence of. Zevelar (the name which Hudsor had !riven to his monster), and one of the servants of the b • hotel glided unperceived into the principal room occu pied by him, concealed himself in the fire-place, and waited the result of his voyage of discovery. He had not been there long when he saw Hudson come into the room, dragging after him by the hair of the head the poor Zevelar. The poor Siren was drripping wet, and the big tears rolled from her sorrowful eyes ; she walked upright, and the fish's skin which formed the lower ex tremity dragged along the ground. She threw herself on the floor, and cried out in perfectly i n t e lli g ibl e English, " Oh, pity ! for mercy's sake, pity ! pity !" The ser vant, who did not understand the English. language, thought she spoke in her "langue maritime." The fel low then began to beat her, upon which she exclaimed, a spare my life, oh God ! and I obey " No longer able to bear the frig htful s p e ctacle, the servant seized away, and recounted all he had seen . means of awakening thethe first attention o f opportunitytHis the e story authorities, o st % steal the and Doctor Amarati was sent to visit the pretended divinity of the waters. The Doctor soon discovered that the Siren was, in point of fact, none other than a young woman of about twenty years of age, whose mind had given way under the cruel GREEK.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE EUROPEAN COURIER (COURIER DE L'EUROPE), IN LONDON. 14th June, 1841. Six,—l am not unwilling to believe that the intelligence t .ansmitted to me from Paris concerning yourself, consists of reports destitute of foundation ; and, prior to my embarking in any course with a view to obtain justice, as to the articles which are attributed to you, it is my wish to make applica tion to you for your own admission, or disclaimer. I have in no way to trouble myself with the motives of your silence re • specting the letters, not by any means attributed to, but most positively in the own handwriting of Louis Philippe, as an emigrant and a King. I pay tor and read your Paper withinit busying myself any further with it ; but.what I owe to my self, Sir, is to asbertain whether you are or are not the author of the articles in the Morning Post of Jan. 20, and in the Times of May 31. Concerning these letters ' a mere written disclaimer of your part w ill be deemed sufficient by me ; but in case that that should not be forthcoming, the author being sufficiently pointed out by your silence, I am, Sir, under the necessity of informing you, that prior to my applying for a remedy to the slow operation of legal proceedings, I shall appeal for support to the daily publicity which butte the English acid the French press will afford me, in order to mark you out, and prove you to be a base and cowardly calumniator, a man sold over and over again, a venal pen, in short, hired by the French Police, &c., a determined and extreme course, which I sincerely trust I may be saved the necessity of adopting, by your early, very early reply. I remain, Sir, yours, obediently, 'the Editor of the Courier de r Europe having inserted my letter in his number of the 12th instant ( No. M), but without any satisfactory reply, I here repeat what I have said, that my letter having remained unanswered, he is, in my estimation, most positively a dastardly, vile calumniator, a man sold over and over again, with his mercenary pen, to the French police, and that from this very day measures are efficiently going to be taken by me, legally to compel the Morning Post and the Times to give up . the names of those correspondents who have supplied them with these base and calumnious articles, with which they have disgraced their columns. L A CONTEMPORAINE, Responsible Authors of these Article's. Tuubridge•plate, New-road. A very uneasy feeling is prevalent in the City, and reports of various failures are current this afternoon, but we cannot trace • them to any authentic source. Messrs. Ladbrokes the bankers have intimated to their 't tiSttiiiiers, their desire to decline business after to-day -. ; proposing at the same time a transference of their busi ness to Messrs. Glyn. Messrs. Latlbroke have, it is un derstood, been lung anxious to retire, having gradually diminishei their transactions, and having now brought their business into so small a compass as to render its transfer in the manner proposed an easy matter. All the liabilities of the firm will be fully discharged, and the partners are understood to retire with considerable wealth.—Sand ay paper. ATTEMPTS AT BRIBERY DEFEATED.— .Gen.nroan.—On Tuesday evening it was remarked that a total stranger to the town arrived, and was in close communi cation with the Tories at their head-quarters (the White Hart Inn). Consequently about thirty Liberals volunteered to keep watch and ward all night, to prevent their bribing the poorer class of electors. Soon after nightfall he was traced to a jour neyman bricklayer's, where the offer of money was distinctly heard made to buy his vote for the two Tories, which he most virtuously 'ejected ; and the parties watched him so closely, that he Ins obliged to retreat to the White Hart Inn. Various other persons were out ow the same disgraceful errand, who were all watched, so closely that they could not accomplish their wished for and detestable purpose of corrupting the poor voters by any amount in money they would accept to vote for the two Tories. There is no doubt that this stranger was sent by the Conservative Club in London well prepared with the sinews of war. About two o'clock in the morning the party, consisting of Mr. Scarlett, agent, Mr. W. H. Smallpiece, S. Heydon, Esq., banker, &c., were traced to a poor voter's house *in Alin-mead, and followed, where three or four bullies were placed, to protect them from disturbance in their work of iniquity ; but so determined were the Liberals to unkermel the corrupters, that they com pletely beset the house, so that no one could escape without detection ; andit was not until near five in the' morning that the young banker was seen skulking out of a back window, and scrambling over garden fences, until he reached Mill-mead House, the residence of his worthy and deservedly respected father, no doubt highly delighted with his escape. But for the careful watchfulness of the Liberals, there is little doubt but they would, in a great measure, have influenced a con siderable• number of the electors. We have, however, fought and conquered manfully, and having relieved the borough from the coercion of the Tory Town Council, we are as determined it shall never again fall into such unworthy and disgraceful hands. DETERMINED SUICIDE. — At Brantford, on Saturday, the following determined suicide occurred : On the previous evening a young man went to the Three Pigeons Inn, and engaged a bed for the night. He desired breakfast might be brought him in the morning. Upon the servant going to his room the door was disco vered to be fastened, and all attempts to arouse him proved fruitless. Mr. Hills, the landlord, had the room door forced open, when the unfortunate young man was discovered hanging by a silk handkerchief from the rail lat the foot of the bed quite dead and cold. He was un dressed, but the bed clothes had not been disturbed. In appearance he was about twenty-seven or twenty years of age, five feet eight inches high, ust7s brown light thin whiskers under "his chin, sallow twenty-eigh t hair, rather high cheek bones, stout made, and dressed in a white cotton ei socks ,Nlorn ladlarackk silks er t i o i o u o t k c e o r a o i t l , i o d f a ) r v k i t lig whitea m b ro s o p n o t t s i 3 O blucher boots, nearly new, and black h „ at, " W.

It is not generally known that the King is himself a good musician, and was, we believe, the first to promote the establishment of an Italian Opera permanently in Brus sels. His sister, the Duchess of Kent, also sings with 1 great taste and feeling, not only the music of Germany, but many of our popular airs, especially Moore's Irish Melodies. To her refined taste may mainly be attributed (for she had the principal guidance of her early years) 1 the musical talents and superior judgment in all that re lates to the art of her Majesty the p resent Queen. n The mountains I • Scotland have duri n g the I past week been capped with snow.
