TT el ri,nlTlnw should bring in their present Members free of , x- P e use• We have repeatedly expressed our honest and unbiased approbation of Mr. D UNCOMBE'S con duct, and it will be a reproach to the electors of Pinshury should this very useful representative be harassed by any rich and canting pretender .to great virtues. We venture, therefore, to sug gest to the electors of Finsbury at once to open a subscription to return their Members, par ticularly Mr. DUNCOMBE, against whom Mr. T ° ol cE directs his moral shafts, free of expense. There is no doubt whatever that Mr. DUNCOMBE and Mr. WAR LEY will be re-elected for the borough ; and as both of them have assiduously attended to the interests of their constituents, as far as we have ever heard, and have always voted honestly and independently, the elec tors ought not to suffer them to be harassed by all aspirant to senatorial honours, whose only re commendations are wealth—how got we know not--and prodigious self-conceit. Th communications lately received from Ge r many indicat e a growing spirit of dissatis tion there with the repeated denials given to the people's prayers and demands for improved institutions. In another part of this Journal ap- Pears an address of the Breslau Magistrates to the Provincial Parliament of Silesia, in 'which the claims of the people to a true re presentative Constitution, giving the people, by • .their ,Re p r esentatives, power over the public Purse, and Power to call the KING'S Ministers to account, are legally set forth, and decisively s hown to rest on the ancient laws of the land, itnd en recent and solemn promises of the So -I:reign. In G ermany, an d part i cu l ar l y i n rus sia, no m en, an d especially no Magistrates, lightly undertake a task of this nature, and accordi nn l y tio when undertaken it has a propor nate effect both on the Sovereign and the People, The King of PRUSSIA has shown his dis pleasure by refusinc , the offered hospitalities of .170 inhabitants of Breslau on occasion of forming a b it p r „ ge , C amp in their neighbourhood, and the p eople in several parts of Germany have teqi tr„; lir efY sympathy with the patriotic Magi.s -."`es• Involved as the King of PRUSSIA is in imisP ut es with hi s C atholic sub j ects, and clecreas ,.ng in Popularity in his Rhenish provinces, we 'egard the movement of the Breslau Magistrates 13 a sure dh o sign that his subjects are tired of che u at tn _ e .P.es and lyi ng prom i ses, an d are preparing Lineve their own freedom.

In the L'harnber of Peers the liiS. - Cussion on the budjet des depenses terminated this day, and they are at this moment proceeding to the division on the whole bill. The funds continue depressed, in the absence of any information respecting the new loan. MAnatn, JUNE 11.—In consequence of despatches received last night from Paris, a Council of Ministers WPS held. It is said they contain the conditions upon which Queen Christina consents to relinquish the guardianship of her children, but which the Government does not feel justified in accepting. It is thought the question will be brought before the Cortes about the 15th. The Minister of Finance was much engaged with the pressing claim mad? by the British Ambassador for the 5,000,000 reals due to the Legion. Very little doing at the Bourse; not a bargain for cash, but 264 to 27/ at various dates. At Barcelona on the 11th the most perfect tranquillity pre vailed. The municipality had addressed a suitable proclama tion to the working classes. CANDIA, JUNE 4.—Letters of the Ist and 4th announce that the Candians had experienced a serious reverse, and that in consequence the roost influential chiefs amongst the emigrants in the-island had addressed to the British and French Consuls a request for an interview with Tahir Pacha and Mustapha Pacha, on hoard either of the fleets, for the purpose of coming to an understanding. The Consuls applied in vain fur this in terview ; but yiehiing to their solicitations, they obtained per mission to leave the island by the ships of those Powers. The emigrants ask for a delay of 10 days to deliberate, but which the Turkish commanders refused. Such was the state of things on the 4th. It was thought this wretched state of affairs was drawing to a close. The little activity displayed by the Turks in their preparations for attack would gain for them the 10 days asked for. Accounts from Constantinople, dated the 27th ult., state that the hatti-seheriff would be forwarded to Alexandria on the 31st of May. The Paris Journals of Thursday contain no news of any interest to an English reader. The Constitutionnel contends that the British Go vernment having failed by diplomacy to cause the Spanish Ministry to conclude a commercial Treaty with this country, now tries the effect of smu;•gling upon a large scale. This is a falsehood so notorious that it would be a waste of words to refute it in more than a sentence. The British Government is no more responsible for the conduct of our merchants, than is the President of the French Council. It is not to be supposed indeed that the Bri tish Government will take any very active part in tie suppree•:uon of a contraband trade on the coasts of Spain, which, if successful, must open an extensive market to English merchandise, and it is not improbable that more is expected from this annoyance to the Spanish Govern ment towards bringing about a commercial Treaty, than from any attempt to convince the rulers of Spain that it would gain more by such a Treaty than from a system of prohibition and exclusion, which the Constitutionnel admits to be imperfect, inasmuch as the accomplices of the smugglers are the very persons whose office it is to drive them away. The Constitu tionnel, fits from approving of the prohibitive and re strictive systems in Spain as a general principle, com plains of it as an offence against Europe at large, and calls upon the Regent for a modification of the tariff on all things, excepting, of course, British goods, for these, says the Constitutionnel, come in direct competition with the manufactures of Spain. Our Contemporary forgets that, in the present state of Spain, the extension of in dustry is a very doubtful thing, for it is only in coun tries where there is perfect protection for capital and manufacturing . enterprise, that the one is invested and the other developed. Until the pacifica tion of Spain shall be complete, and confidence in the honesty and stability of its government be estab lished all the prohibitive tariffs that the Cortes can enact, and all the coast-guard that can be raised, even suppos ing it to be as faithful in the performance of its duties as it is the reverse, will not suffice to prevent smuggling, and every attempt to foster native industry will be vain. It is a mistake also to suppose that Spain can ever be made a manufacturing country, to such an extent as to render it prudent to exclude the manufactures of other States. Her wealth is in her soil, by the proper culti vation of which she may carry on an extensive ex change. The Constitutionnel mentions as one of the ob jectionable items of the Spanish tariffs the enormous duty on French books, which are the only foreign books, it says, read in Spain. This sympathy for the book trade in France is very natural ; but if English books were the only foreign works read in Spain, would not the argument against the prohibitive duty on them be just as strong ; and if it happens that English hardware and cotton goods enjoy as exclusive a preference among Spaniards as French books, may not the English com plain as justly of their exclusion, as the Constitutionnel does of the exclusion of French books? _ . . The Commerce says :—" It is confirmed that the Austrian Government has contracted a loan of five per cent., and it is said to be at par. The holders of French five per cents made large sales yesterday in order to buy into the new stock." The Gazette de France of this evening asks some questions of the Government, to which probably no answ(r will be given. The facts which that paper mentions strike the eyes of everybody, but it states them precisely, and on that account it cannot but be useful to repeat the article. " All the troops which are in the first military division, ca valry, infantry, and artillery, are constituted and organised as a corps d'arme, with a staff, paid as in times of war, as it would he on the frontier in the presence of the enemy. "'There are 70,600 men of all arms, a park of 42 field pieces, forming 7 batteries in the advance of Versailles, besides the 100 pieces of cannon at Vincennes, and those of the military school. " There is a Staff composed of a General-in-Chief (General Schneider) with Generals of divisions and Brigadier-Generals under him, for the cavalry and infantry, to say nothing of the swarm of officers of every grade attached to the extraordinary service. " On what pretext has this organisation been made when there is at Paris a General to command the military division, besides a General of division instead of a Major-General to command the department of the Seine, when in all the chief towns of the adjacent departments there are Major-Generals to command the troops, and to superintend the military police? "Since 1789 there has never been round Paris an army orga nized on the war establishment, independently of the Corn man'ler, in all the departments. " How does it happen that so enormous a fact has not been pointed out in the Chambers, when the expenses resulting from it make it necessary to burden the people to a degree which calls forth protests in all parts of France against demands for money, because the people are unable to satisfy them? " In England, when a Judge goes to a county to hold the assizes all the troops are withdrawn to a distance of 36 miles, that the law may be unimpeded in its course. At London there are never more than two regiments as the Queen's guards, and at Paris, the seat of th Parliamentary Govern ment and discussions, there are 70,000 men, organised on the war establishment."—Le Commerce.

Welsh, arrived at Fal mouth on Thursday evening, from the West Indies. Her sail ing dates were as follow :—From Barbet -1 0es April 29, St. Lucia and Martinique 30th, Dominique May Ist, Guadeloupe 2d, Antigua and Montserrat 3d, Nevis and St. Kitt's 4th, Tor tola sth, St. Thomas's 15th, Porto Rico 15th, Cape Henri 19th. On freight 6,0001. in gold dust. All hopes of the safety of the President steam-ship may now be said to have vanished, as this packet furnishes nothing respecting her. The Express, Lieut. Herrick, left Cape Henri, for England, a week before the Swift ; tt e latter had ten passengers, one of whom, Mr. Gibson, and also his child, died at sea. The passengers and crew suffered much on the voyage from dysen tery. The close sailing of the Swift after the Express caused the mails from the islands to be unusually small by the packet arrived. The news by this packet is not of importance for novelty or general interest. The Colonial House of Assembly at Ja maica had been prorogued by proclamation by his Excellency the Governor, from May 18 to June 22. The brig Rob Roy, from Aberdeen, had arrived at Kingston, and safely landed ninety-two immigrants; and the Etheldred, from London, with 150 Europeans. At ageneral meeting of the Shareholders of the Mount Vernon Mining Company at Jamaica, it was resolved that 300 shares should be thrown open to the public beyond those already sub scribed, the price of which to be fixed at 121. 10s. We regret to observe that the greater part of Spot Valley estates' cane pieces have been destroyed by fire, which even extended to the adjoining property of Cornwall. A crop of 80 hogsheads ex pected on Spot Valley has accordingly been reduced to little more than ten. A great many cases of fever had occurred, and its victims were numerous, particularly amongst the mili tary ; several officers had also been attacked fatally. FALMOUTH, THURSDAY, MIDNIGHT.—Her Majesty's packet Express has just come in from the West Indies. Her dates are on the average one week subsequent to those of the Swift; NEW GRENADA.—The affairs in this unfortunate country are repres ented as being in a most deplorable and gloomy state. The Government troops, 500 strong, under Colonel Mutas, marched into Cucuta, without meeting with any opposition, the inhabitants having deserted the town. Gen. Herren was on his march to the north with 1,500 troops, destined, it is supposed, for Mompos, where revolutionary General Carmona has under him 2,400 well-disciplined men. Mompos is a small town on the river Magalens, about six days' march from Carthagena, and he has no doubt selected that post to prevent the Govern ment troops from descending the river on the latter place. General Mareno, the Commander of Carthagena, has stationed a number of gun• boats on the river to sustain him. In this re public everything is tranquil ; but should the revolutionists un fortunately succeed in New Granada, fears are entertained that it will affect the peace of Venezuela. The mails for Mexico were embarked this morning by the Alert packet, Lieut. Jennings, and those for the West Indies by the Tyrian, Lieut. Crocker ; they left port at noon. WHITECHAPEL MARKET. The demand for meat was limited, although the supply was small ; lower rates were taken for all sorts.

WEST INDIES.—Two packet ships have arrived from Jamaica this morning, by which we have received Jamaica papers to the 16th May. The packets are the Swift and the Express. The former sailed from St. Thomas's, May 15, Hayti, Slay 19 ; the latter sailed from St. Thomas's, Slay 8, Hayti, Slay 12. (From the Jamaica Papers. ) SLAVER WRECKED.—The Brig Troubadour, Spanish co lours, with 289 slaves on board, bound to Berbice, was wrecked on the 6th of February, on the Cayeas Islands, and all on board were saved, and arrived at Nassau. The vessel was totally lost. The above papers are entirely filled with the English and American news. No news in them respecting the President steamer, with the exception of the rumours in our English papers concerning the above vessel. We have also received the Demerara papers to May 6th " Great complaints are made of the inconvenience arising from the present condition of the currency of the Colony, to which it is earnestly hoped that the Court of Policy will apply some speedy remedy.—(These papers are also void of interest.) The Barbadoes papers, which we have received to the 9th of May, state that the great blessing which the country has re ceived is a plentiful rain, which fell in the greater part of the island on Thursday night and early yesterday morn ing. This delightful and most welcome weather has given new life and spirit to the agriculturists ; the labourers are very busy planting corn, peas, &c. The Swift packet deserves her name this voyage, having arrived on Thursday in twenty-six days. We have received papers from the Northern Islands, none of which possess any interest. Bermuda papers have been received via St. Thomas's of the 6th May. We collect nothing from them but that the Lieut. - Governor Reid bud met the Colonial Parliament, and matters were going on smoothly. Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Harvey had arrived from Jamaica. _ _ _ ( From the Port of Spain Gazette.) His Lordship the Bishop of Barbadoes may, we understand, be expected to arrive here on Thursday or Friday next. Hi. Lordsh p intends to leave Barbadoes in a steamer. Our only arrivals of consequence this morning, are two mails from Jamaica. The latest dates are of the 15th May, ith papers of the same date, which are extremely barren of intelligence. The packet Swift brings a freight of 6,000/. in gold dust. The Colonial House of Assembly at Jamaica had been profogued from May 18 to June 22. Those papers do not mention anything about the crops, or the working of the labourers. Till FUNDS. This being Saturday, as usual the British Funds remain in a state of stagnation, as well as all eeseriptions of commercial affairs. Nothing is talked of at present in the City but the elections; parties are busily engaged in canvassing both for the Whigs and Tories.

VTR AIM," LONDON, RAPrunriAv. JUNE 191 REPRESENTATION OF ?fIARYLE- DAL) An important fact was ascertained this morning, on a com parison of the canvass-books for the district of Camden-town, in w hich Mr. Cabbell and Sir J. Hamilton are personally canvassing, and in which the relations of Sir James have eon sii:erable influence. The promises for Hall and Napier are exictly FOUR to ONE against those given to Cabball and Ha milton. This •act is the more encouraging, as the personal canvass of Cabbell and Hamilton has been aided by the active and per,evering canvass of the influential and popular ladies who reside in the district, and are connected with the families of the Tory Candidates. In the other districts the returns up to one o'clock were equally promising. The zeal of the Tory ladies was exhibited in the most open and earnest manner i n S om ers Town and South Pancras. It was amusing to observe the eage:aess and activity with which they distributed their smiles, orders for goods, and blue tickets amongst the shops of the Small trades men. The result has been that, in one broker's shop, and one small grocer's, the blue billsof the Torieshave been substituted for Young's. 'Tis fact. But neither of the exhibitors have a rote SUCCESSFUL. CANVASS OF WORKMEN. Sir Flenjamin Hall and Sir C. Napier this morning visited the pianoforte fac ory cf Messt s Collard, in Tottenham-court road (as has been usual for all candidates in late elections), for the purpose of soliciting the votes of the numerous electors, who are to be found amongst the large body of first class mechani cs , employed in this extensive establishment. The candid-des were greeted with cordial cheering, and after having held long conversations with the workmen in the several departments, and with the high est mutual satisfaction, all the electors in the establish ment (amounting to upwards of fifty,) except four, promised their votes, and early attendance at the poll, to Hall and Napier. Of the four electors who did not promise one was absent, but his principles are known to be Conservative ; one Conservative frankly refused his vote, as did two of the supporters of the new Chartist, or dis-union candidate. • QUEEN'S BENCH -(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. THE PROPRIETORS OF THE RAILWAY TIMES. Lord DENMAN gave judgment in this case, which was an application for a criminal information against the defendants for an alleged libel upon the Eastern Counties Railway Com pany. The libel charged the Directors of the Company with the wilful publication of false reports of the state of the affairs of the Company with a view to deceive the public or the Share holders, or both. Now, bearing in mind that the Court re quired a direct denial of the statements, whatever they might be, in the alleged libel, and considering the manner in which that denial had been given, without intending in the slightest. degree to question the veracity of the party by whom the denial had been made, it appeared to them that ti.ere was some ground in these reports and proceedings for the allusions made to them, and for raising a doubt as to the accuracy of these re ports, although not to the extent of making injurious remarks to the prejudice of the Company. Upon the whole, however, bearing in mind the opportunity given to the Directors to deny these allegations fully and entirely, and that another remedy was open to them if they chose to avail themselves of it, the Court was of opinion that the application would be most pro perly disposed of by discharging the rule on the payment of costs.--Rule discharged. _ _ THE QUEEN V. THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK AND DR. PHILLIMORE. Lord DENMAN gave judgment in this case, which hacrbien argued at considerable length during the present term. The proceedings in this case might be very shortly strtal. His Grace the Archbishop. as Ordinary, cited the Dean and Chap ter of York to attend a Viqtation, and appointed the learned civilian, Dr. Phillimore, as his Commissary for the correction and punishment, by ecclesiastical law, of whoever was contu macious, and for the administration of articles, and receiving their pre-entments and answers, and for doing everything else pyriaining to the quality of the Visitation. The ancient for mula were observed, and there seemed no reason to doubt that there was sufficient authority to inquire into the ecclesiastical effences cf everybody concerned. At the first meeting the Dean attended, and an inquiry was made respecting the sale of some Church preferment, of which he was said to have re ceived the proceeds. He conductedhimself on that occasion in such a manner as was deemed contumacious, and sentence of contempt was, by the Commissary, pronounced against him. He then departed, and the proceedings went on, and, in hi; absence, the Rev. Mr. Dixon, one of the Canons, made a direct charge of simony against the Dean. He was accord ingly requested to attend, and did an, but the Commis sary required bin-, in the first place, to purge him. pelf of the contempt, but he declined to do so. He again absented himself, saying, not by way of courting in vestigation but of defiance, that Mr. Dixon might go on with his charge. The Learned Commissary was of opinion that the charge was established, and that the Dean for that offence should be deprived of his office. Senterce of deprive. ioa was afterwards solemnly pronounced by his Grace the Archbishop. Prohibition was claimed on several grounds, and a late Act of Parliament, the 2d and 3d Victoria, ch. 86, " for the better enforcing Church Discipline," was relied upon. The enactment was qualified by a proviso that nothing in the Act should be construed to affect any authority over the clergy in their re spective provinces which the Archbishop or Bishop might then exercise without process of Court. The 23d section was also quoted, which provided that no proceedings in criminal offences should be instituted, except in the manner provided by that Act. It was contended that although sec. Ist of the general enactment extended to all offences, and although " causes," a word well understood, were the only proceedings mentioned in the pre amble, the 23d aec. provided that the statute shall be observed in all criminal proceedings instituted in matters ecclesiastical. But the question was, was this a criminal proceeding or arising out of the visitation ? The answer appeared to be, that as soon as the visitor proceeded to examine into the ecclesiastical offences which were alleged against the Dean, and more espe cially when that charge was regularly made at the instance of an accuser, a criminal proceeding was undoubtedly instituted. It was further alleged that the proceedings in such eases must lie in some Ecclesiastical Court, and that this was not an Ecclesiasti cal Court fur such a purpo - :e. Now that brought them to the ques tion of whether the Archbishop, as visitor, was legally entitled to deprive the Dean of his office for an ecclesiastical offence,without the interference of a Court of Law. In order to come to that con clusion it must be established to their satisfaction that such was the mode of proceeding in former times, but no example of such a power having been exercised by the Archbishop and clergy, even in regular and solemn visitation, had been laid before them. It was admitted that they were exempted to a certain extent at these visitations from the forms of common law, but some forms, as far as regarded the knowing and an swering the charge, were absolutely necessary. The different modes of dealing with the charges had been enumerated; in the ordinary case articles were exhibited, and the party had time and place given him, and then sentence waspronounced, but, accord ing to all their experience and knowledge of the proceedings in these Courts,not without process. It was well known that the as sumed want of the power now claimed was one reason for intro ducing the present law, and the Court was aware that the juris diction of visitors had been very distinctly defined by Lord Holt, Mr. S. Kinner, and other common law authorities. The Learned Judge here referred to the various authorities that had been cited and the arguments that had been founded upon the decisions in these eases. From all these cases, and a review of all the arguments urged before them, the Court was constrained to conclude that the most Rev. Prelate, in so far as he had proceeded at a visitation to deprive the Dean, had acted beyond his jurisdiction. They declined to enter upon the consideration of the numerous points of objection that had been urged en behalf of the Learned Commissary ; but there was one which the Court thought it was fitting should be disposed of on the present occasion. it was argued that the sentence was final, and that there was no power in that Court to interfere. That argument required to be narrowly watched, because if carried out to the fullest extent it might be used to give effect to unlawful proceedings. In looking at the words of the sent ence , th e y found that the Dean was aoni , hed not to act, on pain of the greater sentence of excommunication ; but it should be remembered that the Dean could not appeal before the sentence had been pronounced, because the deprivation was the only thing done beyond the jurisdiction of the Archbishop. Up to that point certainly his Grace had the power to interfere, with a view to ulterior pro ceedings, and it appeared that the Lord Chancellor had in one case dissolved the prohibition, because the appeal was made before sentence had been pronounced. The Court, if it felt any doubt whatever, would feel itself bound to invite further discussion, by calling upon the Dean of York to de clare in prohibition ; but after the full, the long, and the ma turely prepared discussion that had taken place, enforced by the arguments of the most eminent Counsel, and with the highest legal ability, they owed it to all parties—they owed it to the public, and in a particular manner they owed it to the Church, to encourage no doubt where they felt none, on a sub ject of such immense importance and so deeply affecting its rights, its interests, and its duties. The rule for the prohibi tion must, therefore, be made absolute. _ CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY. OLD COURT. Michael Connor, aged 12, and Catherine M' Grath, aged 10, were isdicted for feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of .10119 Smith, and stealing one coat, one pair of trowsers, one waistcoat, and other articles to the value of 3/. The female prisoner was admitted as Queen's evidence. 'the prosecutor was brother-in-law to the prisoner, and on the day in question he had gone out, and while away, the pri soner obtained a key with which he entered the room of the prosecutor, and committed the robbery with which he was charged. The female prisoner was in company with the pri soner, but took no part in the robbery. The Jury returned a verdict of gui.ty., There was another count in the indictment, charging the prisoner with a previous conviction, when he was transported for ten yeas, which sentence was commuted. Ho had also been in prison many times. The prisoner was sentenced to fifteen years' transportation. NETV COURT. At the request of Mr. Phillips, Mr. Justice Wightman con sented to postpone the trial of 111‘Garretty, for the murder at Woolwich, until the next sessions. Mr. Phillip s sa id t h at f acts . had transpired from which appeared that the prisoner was subject to an aberration of mird. LEICESTER. CHURCH-RATE SALE AT THE TOWN' -HALL. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Mr. Carnal, auctioneer, on Friday last, offered the goods for sale which had been seized for Church-rates, from several re spectable inhabitants of the borough, at the instigation of the Churchwardens. The auctioneer had very reluctantly consented to become the salesman of his neighbour's goods and chattels, for the support of a Church from which they dissented. About 20 lots were offered for sale, for which there were found no buyers. One pair of shoes were bought out of more than a dozen, by a gentleman, for twopence, which he presented the Churchwarden's wife with. A round table was put up, which was purchased by a Tory for two shillings, and who bought a copper tea kettle also, amidst the most discordant yells imaginable. Ten pounds of tea was then put up, but no bidder was found, at which the auctioneer expressed his re gret, fearing as he did, that the expenses would not be cleared. Mr. Manning then proposed three cheers for the auctioneer, for his kindness in conducting the sale. Three dreadful groans were then given for Mother Church, which lasted for some time. The meeting then broke up, after much plea santry and satire had been indulged by the people. ,-------- „ JAMES HATFIELD. — The work announced for immediate publication under the abov e title is likely, ero is the noto rious James Hatfield, the celebrated swindl er an d f orger from its subject, to create as g reat a sens ation in the read ing i l il ii 2; ck w e 'o n r s l d or a s A h i ' i t i s s Ainsworth beenoccasioned cho ile b i:any wo r k o f th e of by-gone times, whose ingenious and elegant iniquities were the talk and wonder of the whole country, from the palace to the cottage, and whose marriage with the Beauty of Buttermere forms one of the most interesting incidents in the romance of reality.

(PRM A DENT. ) WEST KENT.—A most numerous and highly respectable meeting of the leading Liberals of West Kent took place on the 17th, at the Ball Hotel, Maidstone, to take measures to pro mote the return of their old and truly , independent Member, Mr. Law Hodges. Mr. Rider, the late Member for the county, took the chair. Mr. Bentley, Mr. Norman, the Bank Director, Mr. Solomons, and Mr. M‘Rae, banker, delivered the princi. pal speeches. A determination to support their old Member, and to fight the Tories, who, by an unprincipled coalition, wished to obtain a monopoly of the representation, was ardently expressed. A subscription was set on foot to return Mr. Hodges free of expense, to which many gentlemen put down their names for sums from 50/. to 2001. each. A general feel ing prevailed that the Corn-laws must be altered, whether Peel or .Melbourne were in office ; but as the sliding scale to which the former was pledged was much more injurious to the farmer than a fixed duty would be, seeing that none but the specula tors got the highest prices, it was thought better that such an honest friend to the farmer as Mr. Hodges should repre sent them than Sir Edward Filmer and I..c,rd Maidstone, both of whom would sacrifice the farmer whenever Peel bade them. The fruit-growers seem much interested in the return of Mr. Hodges, as the sugar measures of Ministers would make that article cheap, while Sir Robert Peel was pledged to support the present system. Mr. Hodges addressed the meeting at great length, defending his support of Ministers chiefly on the ground of their preventing, by being always prepared for war, their policy as to Ireland enabling all their forces to be dis posable, which foreign States knew and dreaded, whereas the Orange policy of Peel would demand the presence of one third of our army in Ireland. He illustrated this by a curious anecdote of Commissioner Lin in China, reading over a trans lation of the debates on the Chinese war, and presuming to defy England on the ground that we were divided among our selves. C. Smythe, Esq., and Case, Esq., acted as Se cretaries to the meeting, and we observed Mr. Northhouse, Parliamentary Agent, analysing the ttivisions in the House of Commons daring the present Parliament, to contrast the votes of Mr. Hodges and the Tory Member. ROCHESTER, JUNE 17.—Mr. Dashwood entered yesterday, and was received with the greatest enthusiasm. His return and that of Lord Melgund are " booked." WEYMOUTH. —The approaching dissolution of Parliament has caused a degree of excitement ever connected with a contested election amongst us. We have now four can didates for choice ; the present representatives, Lord Villiers, and Mr. G. W. Hope, as Conservatives ; and Mr. E. Denison, and Mr. T. J. Thompson, as Liberals. The strength of party will be tried to its utmost stretch in the contest, and the struggle will be hard, parties being nearly balanced. We have no hesitation in saying, if left to themselves, for the free exercise of the franchise, the majority of electors would be greatly in favour of the Liberal candidates ; and we have un qualified confidence, notwithstanding the extreme exercise of sundry electioneering stratagems, &c., that the Liberal candi dates will be ultimately successful.—Sherborne Journal. Du R HAM (SOUTH )ELECTION.—Lord Harry Vane on Tues day last addressed the electors at Hartlepool. The Chartists were in attendance, and one of their exhibitions consisted of a fair and rotund loaf, accompanied by one of such diminutive proportions as at once to remind the beholder of the fat and lean kine of Pharaoh ; and, likewise, of the famine which overspread the land of Egypt, of which the monopolists of the present day seem desirous to afford us a repetition. Lord Harry Vane spoke from the balcony-window of the Black Lion lon. He observed, that after deliberate study of the question he was prepared to support the measures pro posed b y Government, as he considered them for the general good. With regard to the duties on our chief articles of con sumption he believed the best plan would be to establish a fixed protective duty ; and to append to it a falling scale, when the price rises beyond a certain amount; and this becomes a fall mg scale. This is his impression ; but he at present can give no irrevocable pledge on the subject. His Lordship, in addi tion, seemed to consider that agriculture required a real, effi cient, and permanent protection, and this in some shape he should wish to see effected. His Lordship was much cheered, and the assemblage gradually dispersed.—Abriged from the Durham Chronicle. FALMOUTH.—The Tories have started a candidate in the person of Lovel Gwyn, Esq., who has addressed the electors. But Captain Plumridge, beloved by men of all parties, and Sir Hussey Vivian's son, equally well liked, are certain of success. FROME. —T. Sheppard, Esq., (T.) the last of the pig-tails in the House, has not up . to this moment had opposition an nounced to him. HA R wicu.—John Attwocd, Esq., of Hylands, and Major Beresford, come forward for the Conservatives. HELSTON.—On the withdrawal of Mr. Bassett, Mr. Vigers of the London firm De Tastel, Vigers, and C., is in the field. He avows himself " at once a Liberal," but shall if elected op pose the ministerial Corn-law measure. HONITON. —A Mr. 111‘Grady is the second Tory candidate with Colonel Baillie. LEOMINSTER. —Mr. Wigram, Q.C., on the retirement of Lord Hotham, stands for the Conservatives. Mr. Greenaway's (R) seat is nevertheless not to be shaken. LINCOLNSHIRE (No arx).—Lord Worsley's reception from his constituents augurs favourably indeed for his return. OXFORDSHIRE —Mr. Parkes has resigned, and the Tories seek busily to find another in his place. Oxeoun TRIMMER.—Spite. of Mr. Hughes Hughes Trim mer, the Tories have brought forward an " out-and-outer " in the person of Mr. Neil Malcolm, formerly M.P. for Boston, aad who conjoins with Mr. Maclean. PORTSMOUTH. —No element for a Tory here. Sir George Staunton is sure of re-election. READING. --Reading's electors are now up and doing, and will place at the head of the poll the staunch Liberal Mr. Mills, and their old, tried servant, Charles Fysche Palmer. The Blue party, with their stripling Lord Chelsea, and the ci-decant Reformer, Charles Russell, may as well disappear. RCTLANDSHIRE.— The three parties, Noel, Eleatcete, and Dawnay, have canvassed the whole week round. The two old and united interests are making a very prosperous registry of promises. Mr. Dawnay " a gentlemanly youth," so deficient in his powers of oratory, should be besought to give himself less pain. STAMEORD.—No opposition, nor a chance of it, appears, as yet, against. the Marquis of Granby and Sir George Clerk. TRURO.—Mr. Edmund Tumor, the Liberal Member, is safe of re-election. Mr, John Vivian heads the Conservatives. NEMOUTH.-Mr. Henry Mitcalfe comes forward in the stead of Sir Charles Grey, as a firm friend to free trade. SCOTLAND.

The only seats which will certainly be lost to our cause are those for the counties of Mid-Lothian and Argyle. There is considerable risk of our losing those for Dumbartonshire and gtirlingshire, though strenuous exertions may save the latter, and possibly the former also. The seats which are likely to be won for the Liberal cause are those for the counties of Caithness, Wigton, Renfrew. and Lanark, and the Kilmarnock district of burghs. Of these four counties we consider ourselves war ranted to say that nothing but the most culpable neglect can prevent their being gained; and we are happy to see that in the three first-mentionedenrything is doing necessary to per fect success.—Glasgow Chronicle.

The total number of electors now qualified to vote is but 86, of whom 46 are Catholics and 15 Liberal Pro testants—in all 61, %hien would leave Lord Northland and tht Orangemen just 25 supporters. Under these circumstances the return of a Reformer is a matter of certainty. The Li beral candidate will be declared in a few days.—Dublin Even ing Post.

There never was so fair an opportunity of wresting this county from the grasp of the Orangemen.—Dublin _Evening Pest.

Six,—l have frequently seen your name in connection with the Anti-Corn-law League, and have been delighted to read your spirited addresses upon the repeal of that iniquitous and diabolical law, I have read with pleasure many suggestions and schemes for carrying cut your political designs, yet none have appeared to me sufficiently to show to the working classes of this waning country the de,troying, starving., and killing influence of a continuation of this wieked impost, and the paramount im portance of its repeal. This country will shortly labour under the excitement of a general election ; thorpy, Sir, the proud aristocrat with his unjust protection, Weedier with his deluded dupes, and the tyrannical oppressors of our country will array themselves against the honest and fair manufacturer, and the mental powers, genius, and na , ural talent of the great and principal producer of our country's wealth—the workingman. I like, in all speculations, to know pretty well (at any rate to have• an idea) what ground I stand upon, in easel am called to sustain a loss, where I expected a decided gain; and it is the same with me in the coming struggle. 1 want to know, Sir, what is the decision of the Anti-Corn-law League, in ca , e a majority of such men are returned to Parliament as will attempt afresh to tax, and still further to eppress, anti ultimately to crush, " the people, the only source of legitimate power." Considerations as to your future steps ought now to be earnestly and zealously entertained. Don't be secret in your intentions ; give the strong advocates of class legislature a fair chance of getting up a defence against the mighty phalanx which you, Sir, as the Chairman of the body alluded to, could assemble in twenty-four hours. There is a moral power, Sir, against which Britain's sword will never be unsheathed ; and we have arrived at the crisis when, either we must strike the blow at m:nopoly, or the blood-bespattered flag of revolution will be hoisted in our streets, and our families will be hushed by the dagger or the knife into the deep and dark oblivion of the night of death. As a proof we have arrived at this crisis, let me invite your attention to your own immediate neighbourhood; look at these vast buildings—your factories—if not altogether, nine out of ten partially standing still; see the commercial distress which pervades every manufacturing district in Great Britain, and then look at the vast masses of our fellow-creatures, as they proceed in fearful armies to the union houses for relief against actual famine, and for shelter to hide them from the pitiless, pelting storm of a proud and overbearing aristocracy. Bid every member of your praiseworthy band to take a dis trict ; bid him leave his home, his own fireside, his wife, his children, and his friends, but not his country : bid him stand by his Monarch in the hour of distress and difficulty, and urge them unitedly to raise their banner, bearing this inscription as their motto—" Peace on earth, good will to man." We are all prepared to join your ranks, to nail our colours to the mast, to surround the throne, and to declare " Wh le we've a hand to save, Her foes shall harm her not." You, Sir, on this great and momentous question posseas more power and influence than any man in the empire besides. You possess more of the confidence of Your fellow-men than any warrior that ever entered the field of battle—because you are the commander in a moral war, a bloodless revolution, a univeral strife for the recovery of right against wrong, and of justice and mercy against tyranny and oppression. You are destined yet to be the honoured instrument in the salvation of your native land. The storm is gathering thickly—darkly— the hour is near at hand—the drums beat—the cannons roar— the enemy is not far in the distance, and a mighty, firm, de termined, resolute stand, would now avert the calamity which, without it, hangs over our head. Commerce is resting on her oars, all the nations of the earth are now anxiously looking to the hour when England will assert her right—when every "bread-taxed slave will rise and shake off the chain which has bound him to the earth. Property has made a stand, and pauses ere she lisps her last " farewell !" Alachinery lies dormant, a mass of lumber, waiting the result of our struggle, ready either to sleep for ever, or to rise once more in active energy and exercise at your call. With these things before you, Sir, I want to know whether you are prepared to he proclaimed the restorer of your coun try's rights or not. To you we are all looking—our ear is heavy with listening for your call—call, and we'll respond with a voice of thunder that will wake the dead. I am no advocate for extreme measures except in extreme cases. The Reform Bill was an extreme case, and this is an extreme case. lam no advocate for physical force, for I have always been of opinion that the firm, determined, resolute, un armed man in the cause of truth is stronger than he who brandishes the two-edged sword. Our God declares, that " Cursed is he who withholdeth corn." This question, Sir, is a proper question, a political ques tion, a financial question, a question for the poor man, and a question for the rich, a moral and religious question ; there is not a man, or a body of men, beneath the canopy of heaven but can fairly and honestly entertain it. All religious commu nities, in my opinion, ought to do so, and, I have no doubt, will, if recommended by you as the Chairman of the A. C. L. L. The people of England, when united, are almighty, and knowing their power often prevents them making me of it. We hate tyranny, and therefore cannot, dare not, practise it ; but let the summons come—let the mandate come forth now the measure has emanated from the person of our dearly be loved friend, guardian, and Sovereign and let the manufac turers and merchants swear by the institutions and altars of their country never more to open their mills and warehouses until the measure, as proposed by Lord John Russell, shall have become the law of the land. Let this determination be entered into at Manchester. London is prepared to follow, and no contradictory notes will be heard from Birmingham, Liverpool, Sheffield, Hull, Derby, Leicester, Nottingham. Yes ! fallen Nottingham will arise from her sepulchre of disgrace, and join the si multaneous shout with every town, city, village, and hamlet in the country. You will see our good and loyal borough of Leicester as a star of the first magnitude amongst towns, and ' she will not be looked upon as a mean planet in the counties of this great country. And on that great holiday the war-song shall be, Rise, Britons, arise, and proclaim that you're free. Tell the proud haughty landowner what is your choice; That your cry will be " Freedom," your watchword " Rejoice;" That you'll spurn all protection, and none you will give ; For your rights you will struggle—by your skill you will live. 1 am, Sir, your's obedientl , and truly, A BREAD-TAXED SLAVE AND A MANUFACTURER. ADDRESS OF THE LONDON WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATION. TO THE WORKING MEN OF LONDON AND THE ADVO CATES OF TIIE PEOPLE'S CHARTER. Friends,—Associated for the attainment of Universal Suffrage, and the acquisition of political knowledge, after a lengthened period we again address you. Our long silence has not been occasioned by any indifference to the great principles we have heretofore advocated—the fiery persecutions of the last two years have not shaken our confidence in, nor diminished our ardour for, the speedy triumph of political truth. A very large expenditure in agitating for the People's Charter had involved us in considerable debt ; we deemed it prudent, therefore, to apply our means to the reduction of the claims upon us, rather than incur fresh liabilities by increased expenditure. Our members have not, however, been individually inactive ; they have rea dily lent their assistance in any measures they deemed conducive to the interests of the work ing classes, whether to raise funds for the support of the families, to obtain an amelioration of. the infa mous treatment, or welcome to their homes the victims of Whig persecution. Feeling from bitter experience the want of places wherein public meetings of the work ing classes might be held, free from the exercise of un just authority or the excessive charges made for their occupancy, they have seen with pleasure the proposition to erect a Trades Hall, and have to the extent of their ability , seconded the praiseworthy efforts of the projectors, Relieved from the pressure of debt, we desire our As sociation to be again useful ; and we are encoura g ed to hope, from the success which attended our earlier efforts, that a renewal of them will not be wholly without effact. We point to the past as the ground of confidence for the future—to the meetings convened by the Association, establishing as they did the practicability of working men conducting their own meetings, unassisted by aris tocratic speakers or the attraction of titled chairmen— to the various addresses and pamphlets issued by the As sociation—to the fact of near 400 working mens' and other political associations being formed within a short period, based on our published addresses and rules, con tributing as these did to the dissemination of political truth, to the elevation and mental improvement of the working classes. The causes which led to the original establishment of this Association still exert their withering influences — the wasteful and extravagant public expenditure, the enormous civil list, the disgraceful state of the civil and criminal law, the obvious tendency of the present Legis lature and Government to establish a centralized de spotism by means of Poor-law Commissions, rural po lice, &c., the increased severity of the laws to fetter the press, and in short the whole spirit of legislation to mo nopolise power and riches for the few, and to impoverish and degrade the many—all proving the necessity for in creased exertion, until the rights of the people are achieved and secured. Believing that it is only from a knowledge of Fin discussions, nexpected, cte d, similar prin ciples and a conviction of th e i r trut h and importance we t s h h a a t u su e s n t d ai e n a e v d ou a r nd by energetic action ca be x lectures, means of mutual instruction, to acquire and dessemi w nate a knowledge of tho se su bj ects wh i ch orkinmorcelasessepse cially affect the conditi on o f t h e convinced of their great i mportance in creating creating public opinion, we shall, as often as we are enabled, con vene. o o m be truth, t l ha means andt rtriumph pm o a f pchifiocN.ienrs forming r vene public meetings in furtherance of our objects. We t recognise o n g i •uoi s wherewith ho i e n fr them ev i thto disseminating ao u m m e enn men's oppres sion, little inferior to the press itself • and while we should resist to the utmost any intended ' fetter and power to and destroy their influence, we cannot but regret that continuous and organized opposition should have con verted them from their legitimate purposes, to scenes of ungovernable passion' resulting in disorder and violence. We shall endeavour on subjects in which we differ from other bodies of trusting to the good sense of the majority for the results; and as we believe that, looking at the various elements of suffering and.poverty operating in society, a variety of opinions may be honestly entertained respecting them, we sincerely hope that all parties may see the necessity of a more temperate expression of their opinions, so that all who mean honestly may be found side by side in the work of political regeneration. The struggle now commencing between the landed aristocracy and the great manufacturing an d commercial interests, demands the most watchful attention of the working classes. We abhor monop olies of every de scription : that their destruction would eventually bene fit all classes, we admit ; that the a b o l i tion of the mono polies a . polies in food would benefit the bourmg e.asses, I%e that l these several believe ; but thinking, as we do, mo nopolies have their source in one m aster monopoly that of legislation—we look , with unshaken confidence, to the e nactment of the just and salutary principles of the the precursor to their destruction, People's Charter as free, just , and beneficent system of and a prelude to .a festo . itself in the improved and bap g9vernment, maniWe are compelled to dis pier condition of . the peo of the Government , and the prime trust the sincerity free-trade agitation, and movers in the present limited of their new - born sympathy th - for a suffering and starving population • • the love of place in the former, and a dimi nution of profits in the latter, being, we conceive, the parents of their zeal. In the forthcoming elections, consequent on the rejec tion of the Miaisterial measures, we sincerely trust that 717T - 7 , fiT;iG itttiqow• the Radical electors will exert th.enselves la 'favour of hose candidates e.'ho will ;i‘;• the sutfr,tge . to the work ing classes ; feeling assured that a few men, , who will speak out boldly, will outweigh a host of professing Li berals, whose . sole Object is the support of an insincere and pledge-breaking Whig Ministry. We have no confidence in those men, who, to gain popular support, pledge themselves to the repal of one obnoxious measure, while they refuse to extend to the working classes a voice in the formation of the.laws by which their freedom is restrained, and the valt*of their 1 tbour diminished. The time is now auspicious for a, grand movement in favour of our cause ; and we ear nestly hope that the small amount of political power pos sessed by the friends to the Charter will not be thr(own away, in a bootless effort to give preponderance -to either one of the contending factions ; but will be directed so as to place a few honest, intelligent, and uncompromising advocates in the House of Commons, there to assert the rights, vindicate the character, and to expose the evils endured by the working classes. We further hope that electors and non-electors will exert themselves to expose the system of bribery that so extensively prevails, and to hold up to -public scorn those candidates who, by the power of gold (it way be, wrung from the people by the monopolies they have .created), seek to purchase, in one day, from a section of the peo ple, the rower to plunder and oppress the whole for seven years; that the voice of indignant reproof will be administered to all such who, having obtained influence among the people, barter it for a bribe, to their unre lenting and implacable enemies. We finally entreat the working men of London to arouse themselves. They have long tried the power of association in preserving themselves from the cupidity of employers ; let them now unite to protect . them selves frem the exactions of a Government, by demand ing to be admitted within the pale of the • boasted Con stitution. The advantages our Association offers are, a library of reference megeneral and political science ; the mums of obtaining information, statistical and other wise, on subjects connected with the well-being of the working-classes. There are numbers of well-disposed working men who desire the elevation of their fellow men; we ask them to come amongst us, to...concentrate their et,ergies ; so that, by numbers, intelligence, and unity of action, we may be enabled t o ex t en d s th e in creasing amount of public opinion in favonr of the People's Charter, as, concurrent with similar exertions ~ in all other parts of the country, will cause its triumphant enactment, unaccompanied by disorder, anarchy, or bloodshed. Fellow workmen, we are, with an earnest solicitude for he success of our cause, THE MEMBERS OF THE LONDON WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATION. COMMITTEE. IT. MITCHELL. J. JENKINSON. J. WATSON. C. BEARFIELD. J.

The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the Con dition of the Population of the Islands and Highlands of Scotland, and into the Practicability of affording the People Relief by means of Emigration ; and who were empowered to report their observations from time to time to the House, have agreed to the following Report . . 1. Your Committee having concluded their inquiry into the subject referred to them, beg to .state that the following important facts have been established by the evidence which they have collected for the information of the House. They have divided their inquiry into two branches ; first, as to the origin and extent of the dis tress which was said to exist in certain districts of the country ; and, secondly, as to the practicability of afford ing relief by means of emigration. It was established by the el idenee before your Committee that an excess of population existed beyond that for whick.the country could afford the means of subsistence, or furnish ade quate employment, along that part of the western coast which includes portions of the counties of Argyll, Inver ness, and Ross, as well as amongst the islands ; and this excess of population, who are fur the most part .for a pe riod of every year in a state of great destitution, was variously calculated at from 45,000 to 80,000 souls. 2. Your Committee were informed that the famine and destitution in the years 1836 and 1837 was so extensive, that many thousands would have died of starvation had it not been for the assistance which they received from Government and the public ; that the sum of 70,0001. was collected and distributed at that period in the shape of food and clothing, and all the witnesses were of opinum that this district of the country was liable to similar visita tions in succeeding years. _ _ 3. Your Commiite v e are of opinion, that the origin of this excess of population must be traced back as far as prior to the year 1745 ; that it originated in the feudal system which existed at that time, when the proprietors were accustomed to value their estates according to the amount of their population, and the number of men whom they could bring into the field ; this TO, to the minute, subdivision of lands, and to the croft system, which was maintained up to a late period in those dis tricts, by the full employment which the people. received from the manufacture of kelp, as well as by an occa sionally abundant herring fishery, which the coast at one time afforded, and for the encouragement of which con siderable bounties were awarded by Parliament. Most of these resources have now .failed them. 4. This excess of population was further maintained, and its tendency to increase confirmed, by the practice of the Government, of raising large bodies of volunteers and fencibles, and by the consolidation of farms in the inte rior of the country, which had the effect of removing tho people from the glens to the coast, where they found it more easy to obtain a subsistence, either by fishing, or in the manufacture of kelp. 5. Your Committee also find it stated that the defi ciency of education has tended to perpetuate this evil of excessive population, as want of knowledge of the Eng lish language, and the ignorance of the people in other respects, made them unable to estimate the advantage it would be to them to seek for employment where they might find a better market for their labour. The want of roads, also, in some districts of the country, by which the people are prevented from reaching a market for their produce, has been stated as a further cause of the general distress. 6. Your Committee have already reported to the House their opinion, that a well-arranged system of emigration, in order to relieve the present state of desti tution, and as preparatory to any measures calculated to prevent a return of similar distress, would be of primary importance ; and they now beg leave to add, that it seems to them impossible to carry such a sTst&a, upon so ex tensive a scale as would be necessary, into effect, without aid and assistance from the Government, accompanied by such regulations as Parliament may impose, to prevent a recurrence of similar evilF. 7. It has been stated to the Committee that the pro vince of Upper Canada alone, and without reference to other portions of our North American Colonies, might annually absorb 10,000 labourers, implying an emigra tion of 50,000 souls ; that 30,000 actually arrived in Canada last year, at least one-half of which number were absolutely destitute ; and although no extraordinary means were taken, they have all found employment. It was further stated to be to the advantage of emigrants, even with small capital, to be employed for the first two years as labourers, rather than at once to be located upon land. 8. To give effect, however, to an enlarged system of emigration to these coloni es , it wou ld b e d es i ra ble that her Majesty's Government should ascertain from the Co lonial Governments what assistance, if any, they might be disposed to afford to emigrants arriving in the colo nies, either by employing them in public works, or by undertaking to convey them to those districts of the country where their labour would be most readily ab- 9. It has appeared in evidence that the people-, being fully aware of the impossibility of finding adequate sub sistence at home, are now most anxious to emigrate ; and your CUmmittee have considered it to be their duty to call the attention of the Government to the subject, from the concurrent testimony of all the witnesses leading them to believe that the country is not only liable to a return of such a visitation as that which occurred in the years 1836 and 1837, but that, in the nature of things, it must recur ; that the population is still rapidly increas ing, in spite of any checks which the landlords can op pose, and without any corresponding increase in the na tural productiveness and resources of the country.

Hiltker, a native of Darmstnit;• aged twenty-four, who had cut at Naples the dies of several medals, which were generally acknowledged to be master-pieces. M. Hiner entered upon the duties of his new appointment on the 23(1, but, at eight o'clock the same evening, as he was returning home from the Mint, he was assailed in the street by two a•sassins, one of whom stabbed him in the side with a stiletto, and the other was making a similar attempt when M. Hiltker diverted the stroke by raising his arm, which was wounded, and the point of the weapon entered the right eye, immediately below the globe. The wound in the side was slight, but those in the arm and eye were severe, and apprehensions are entertained that he will lose the sight of th injured organ. The assassins fled and have not been discovered. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Sunday morn ing last, a fine young woman, called Martha Brewer, whp was preparing to attend the funeral of the unfortu nate girl at Penzance, of whose suicide we gave an ac count last week, had her dress ignited by a spark while blowing the fire, and was so dreadfully burnt about the arms, neck, and face, that but little hope is entertained of her recovery.— West Briton.
