PROCLAMATION OF THE KING " Ernest Augustus, by the Grace of God, King of Hanover, " On the 30th of last month we saw ourselves under the ne. cessity, though unwillingly, of dissolving the Assembly of the States of the kingdom, because the Second Chamber proved by its mode of acting that it was absolutely incapable of fulfilling the duties imposed on it. Our proclamation of the 15th of February, 1839, pointed out to our faithful subjects the reasons why the constitution of 1819 was not modified in 1833 in the manner determined upon on the 7th of December, 1819. We explained ourse:ves formally on this subject be fore our accession. 'thus, at the period of our ac cession, the constitution of 1819 was alone placed under the guarantee of article 56 of the Final Act of the Congress of Vienna. According to the terms of article 13 of the Federal Act, there should be a State constitution in each State of the confederation. The introduction of a written con stitution is not a proscription of the federal legislation. Thus we have several times expressed our opinion that written con stitutions were not, under every circumstance, necessary to the States, arid even that objections might be raised against their introduction. Nevertheless, taking into consideration the wishes of our subjects, we submitted to the Assembly of the States on the 18th of February, 1838, a project of constitution. On the 27th of June, 1838, the Chambers were adjorned, and we withdrew the project in consequence of the irregularity of the discussion. On the 15th of June, 1839, the Assembly of the States invited us to take again into consideration the ques tion of the constitution ; the States added that it was requisite to proceed according to constitutional modes, conformably to the wishes of the country. A committee was in consequence appointed to prepare a project of constitution. " The Assembly of the States had evidently the right to de liberate on this project. The resolution of the Germanic Diet of the sth of September, 1839. could leave no doubt on this point. On the 19th of March, 1840, the project was submitted to the States. If some Deputies did not take part in that de liberation, this resistance could not be overcome by us. The project was voted on the Ist of August, 1840, and promulgated on the 6th of the same month. This constitution, having been deliberated on between the King and the States, cannot be attacked by any legal means. This constitution resp ects the rights of our Royal house to the domains, and makes no attack on the rights of the Crown based on the ancient constitution of the country. It serves to strengthen the rights of the gene ral and provincial states of the kingdom ; it extends the rights of the first to the protection of the consti stitution itself ; it protect.; the rights of corporations and individuals, and establishes the equal division of the taxation. It confirms the independent action of the judicial power, and equally guarantees the action of the Administration. It attributes to a special authority the right of separating, in certain cases, the judicial'and administrative powers; and we have confided this authority to the most estimable men of the kingdom. The duration and the inviolability of the Constitu. tion is assured for the future by the basis of the ancient right of the Crown on which it reposes ; by the basis of the laws of the ' German Confederation with which it is in accordanCe- on - all points ; by the federal r esolution of the sth of September , 1839 ; by our Royal word ; by the assent of the Prince Ro}al; by the approbation of the States ; by the rights accorded to the General Assembly of the States, and in its absence to the Col lege of the Treasury, to invoke the protection of the Ger manic Confederation. As long as Providence shall preserve our life, we shall not for a moment doubt the legality of that constitution. Our well-beloved son, the Prince Royal, has formally expressed for the future this with in the First Cham ber. In consequence, we have, on the 14th April, in this present year, convoked the Assembly of the States. Having received the thanks of the authorities and the inhabitants for this new constitution, we have not considered it necessary to exercise a special surveillance over the elections which should remain free. It is for this reason we confined ourself to order ing a surveillance of police. These measures have affected some individuals, who are now the objects of a criminal prose cution. These individuals were formally opposed to the regu lations of the constitutional question and compromised public order. We could even have caused their arrest according to a law of the 27th June, 1838, and we shall carry that law into execution whenever plots shall be entered into against the safety of the State. " We have just heard that some enemies of our Government have spread a report that the taxes are about to be raised. Notwithstanding this and other equally mischievous rumours, only taking Counsel of our justice and of our solicitude for the welfare of our subjects, we have reckoned on the unalterable de votion and gratitude of our subjects. On the 2d of June last the Chambers assembled; 36 deputies manifested their attach ment to the laws of the country, 12 other Deputies have placed themselves at the head of a party who are hostile to our Go vernment. Their object was to revive the constitutional ques tion, and to oppose every measure favourable to our subjects. A number of others were drawn over to their way of thinking, and thus they formed a majority in the Chamber hostile to our Government. It has been weak ; it has been, however, the means of paralysing our paternal views, inasmuch as they required the concurrence of the States. The Second Chamber, thus composed, have led away many Depu ties who were animated with tht best intentions, making them believe that we wished to attack the established laws, whilst, on the contrary, we respect them. It is thus with the Liberal party. which respects neither private nor public rights. The tyranny was become so intolerable that the members of the ma jority, fearing the responsibility which would weigh on them, quitted the assembly, not daring to support a contary opinion. Our governmental acts, our desire to lessen the taxes, which press on agriculture, should have deprived the remarks of the enemies of the Government of all their force. The first acts of the Second Chamber showed hostile intentions. The choice of the candidates for the Presidentship fell, first, on a member who, under the reign of William IV., used all his fforts to constrain the Royal power to make concessions and to enter into compromises with the States. The second can didate declared on the 13th of March, 1833, in the Assembly of the States, that he never wished for a fundamental law based on the existing laws. The third was declared by us inadmis sible to the functions of the Councillor of the Treasury. These three candidates obtained at the first ballot the absorute majo rity of voices, which proved that there was in the Chamber a party decided on carrying on a systematic opposition against the Government. Circumstances independent of our will having prevented us from convoking the Assembly of the States at an earlier period, it was our intentiod to shorten the Session, that the Members might not be kept from their homes beyond the usual period. The budget should have been the first object of their attention. The Chamber, at the same time, had communicated to it different financial and other Rills. The First Chamber hastened to form a Com mittee on the Budget. The Second Chamber, instead of forming a Committee of able and intelligent men, made choice of Members who had no knowledge of financial matters, and by . their turning their attention in stead to constitutional questions prevented the proceedings of the other Chamber. It was our duty consequently to assure the carrying on of the public service by constitutional means, and as a commencement to dissolve the States agreeably to an article of the Constitution, which we should otherwise have done from the hostile attitude assumed by the Second Chamber. The President of that Chamber being honoured with an inter view, hesitated not to draw conclusions from my words contrary to their meaning, but in unison with his own ideas. In refusing ai l' concurrence with Government, it was wished to suggest to the ,,neople a false idea, that the Constitution of 1840, was not to assure the welfare of the people arid the country, and P t l. o °P : x t e io discontent against the existing authorities. The Address tvs. rejected by the First Chamber, and blamed by a large number of the Second. The discovery of these criminal er their ors, who projects will cillY ; te n ons sonodious . We repel authwith horror have such sworn an fidelity to us am opposition. "We have also to canplain of the conduct of the majority in calumniating our most intimate servants, who profess an un bounded devotion to our person. In all important affairs of State our faithful counsellors are charged with the execution of our wishes, and if they are attacked the Courts of Justice will know how to punish them. Conformably to the provi sions of the Constitution of August 6, 1840, we shall convoke within the legal period an assembly of the States to which we shall again s nbmit the projects of law, which have not been examined, and we are willing to believe that the errors com mitted by the majority of the Second Chamber of the dissolved assembly will exercise a salutary influence on the composition of the new one. " We do not require the concurrence of the States to carry on the public service and to levy the taxes, but we do require their concurrence to realise objects which are of benefit to my subjects, always the object of my paternal solicitude. "Party spirit, which is blind, could alone dissemble that the welfare and prosperity of the country most inevitably suffer by a persistence in a state of things as adopted by the dissolved Chamber.

FROM THE DAILY TAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—The Times has at length undertaken to describe Toryism. It has done it con amore, and shown a per fect knowledge and feeling of the subject. In a leader of last Saturday it described in graphic language the ruin of Toryism, and states the causes of its " decline and fall." " Toryism fell," it says, " partly because it became • tainted with those vices which inevitably accumulate during very long tenure of power by one description of men; partly because it allowed the principle of stability," now called Conservatism, " to swal low up all others in its esteem, degenerating sometimes into a despicable via inertia,. at other l i times into an irrational superstition r " Toryism," it goes on to say, " be came a mere hollow crust, and collapsed under the first thunderstorm which shook the political atmosphere." In the stead of the system thus denounced as " tainted with vices " as irrational " and " de spicable"—in the stead of this " hollow crust " of Toryism, the Times recommends the solid ground of Conservatism — that is, the same system under another name—nay, managed and conducted by the same leader ! " Sir Robert Peel (it says), in watching over the formation and growth of this Par liamentary (Conservative) party, has performed his office well, and so as to entitle him to public gratitude." But is he not the same—the identical Sir Robert Peel who was the head and (in the House of Commons.) the leader of that very party which the Times had just before denounced as "tainted with vices," " hollow," superstitious," and" irrational? Can the same fountain send forth sweet water and bitter? Can we trust the man now who formerly advocated and upheld doctrines and principles which the Times itself admits were so pernicious, and which it deseribes as so abomina ble? But it is not the principles alone to which the censures of the Times are directed. It reprobates the men as much as it denounces the measures. " The leaders of the Tory party (it says) during the last ten years of its sway, fell into a false position, paying at once too much and too little regard to their own consistency" (that was, indeed, a false position !), " dealing plainly neither with themselves nor their supporters" (admirable moralists t ). " Resisting upon questions of expediency when it was impossible to resist with prudence, and conceding upon questions of principle when it was impossible to concede with honour." Yet these are the leaders, men who could for ten years resist without prudence, and concede without honour; these are the leaders to whom the Times would now leave the direction of the State, and whom it lauds as distinguished by wisdom and foresight, and as fitted to be the savious of their country. What must Sir Ro bert Peel think and feel when his chief defenders describe the past political conduct of himself and of his colleagues in the fol lowing lanouage:— " By their conduct with reference to Parliamentary Re form, they taught the country to think lightly of their ability to fortify by legimate means their tenure of office • while by their conduct on the Roman Catholic question they proved themselves capable of committing a still more fatal mistake, and consenting (what is as objectionable in politics as in morals) • Procter vitam vivendi perdere causas.' "Aft• this," it is added, "all confidence in the Govern ment which had so acted was destroyed. The Tory party ceased to -be identified with any principle whatever, either religious, or moral, or political, in the eyes of the people at ler ge." Such, as described by the Times, is the " tainted garbage of Toryism from which the Conservative party is to take its flight. Such is the party from which the forthcoming Adminis • tration is to be elected—a party identified, "in the eyes of the people at large, with no principle, either religious, or moral, or political." Such are the characters which, according to the Times, the new servants of the Queen are to bring with them from their last places ! This, be it remem bered, is what their friends say of them ! It is what the lawyers call " their case." So much for the past. The course which Sir Robert Peel and his followers are to pursue in future is marked out by the Times with equal distinctness. They are called upon to avoid the errors of their predecessors —" the wholesale machinery of espionage by Commissioners, the establishment of a rural gendarmerie, and, above all, the enactment and operation of the new Poor-law"---which means if it mean anything, that Sir Robert Peel is to discharge the . Archbishop of Canterbury and the other distinguished indi viduals who are acting as Commissioners under the Queen, to repeal Peel's Police Act, and not to continue in force the New Poor-law, which (whether they be called Tories or Conserva tives) he and his party have almost warmly supported. TIMES.—Sir Robert Peel is triumphantly borne into power upon the shoulders of en admiring country. He takes the reins with a clear majority of ninety at the least. Being thus placed in a condition which must capacitate him for carrying his measures irrespective of the demands of crochety indivi duals or sectional coteries, he can afford to resist whatever is unreasonable and to repulse whatever is mercenery. Be the private badgerings of individuals what they may (and we have as little to suppose that they will be peculiarly active, as to anticipate that they will never be exercised at all), the power ful Conservative Minister, backed by an immense body of dis interested and independent supporters, who being immeasur ably above the condition of needy place-hunters, repose in him an implicit and gratuitous confidence, is consequently enabled to pursue a straight and inflexible course of political rectitude, how much soever he may be importuned or threat ened, for any sinister purpose. We know well that the great constitutional phalanx who will sit behind him will, almost to a man, abstain from embarrassing him with any selfish suppli ancy. But should it even prove otherwise, to a partial extent, the Right Hon. Baronet will allow himself to be dragooned in nothing from the mere apprehension of losing a few of his sup porters. If any such persons should ever approach him in a tone of miniatory self-importance, we have at length a Govern ment who can dare to consult the public welfare in defiance of individual caprice or personal selfishness. But, what is better still, nothing of the kind, we can confidently predict, will ever occur. The very existence of such a large Ministerial majority as Sir Robert Peel's Cabinet will command, must be just as effectual for repressing impertinent demands, as for empowering the Government to resist them. HERALD.—AIarm appears to have been taken in some quarters at the negotiations which are said to be now going on between France and Belgium for a Customs' Union between the two kingdoms. This alarm is, to say the least of it, rather premature and unnecessary. The Journal des Debate has, it is true, lately opened its columns to the advoeacy of some such project; but others of the French papers distinctly deny that any proposition having such an object has been under the consideration of the French Cabinet. The facts of the case are, we believe, simply these :—The inhabitants of the French provinces of Alsace and Lorraine have lately importuned their Minister of Commerce to gain for them the aboli tion on the French frontiers bordering on Germany of the present customs' system, and to establish free inter course between Fra nee and Germany, as has lately been done between France and Holland; at the same time negotiations have been entered into for the purpose of establishing freedom of intercourse between France and Belgium, and thus to apply the principles of the late treaty of commerce with Holland to the entire northern frontier of France. But so far from these negotiations having for their object the design of a politico. commercial league between France and Belgium, it is a tact that Belgium, while negotiating for this freedom of trade with France, has proposed to Prussia either to join the German Commercial Union, or to enter into engagements with that league similar to those which she may form with France. The common object of all these negotiations is to make the Blake, what it never yet has been, a free highway to all the countries on its banks or those of its tributary rivers. . In such negotia tions there, is, we submit, nothing tending to disturb the existing balance of European power, or to frighten Conserva tive statesmen. Whatever may once have been the wish of many of the Belgians, with respect to a union of their country with France, no such desire now exists. The mercantile and manufacturing classes in Belgium deplore, it is true, the present state of that kingdom ; but they look forward to another junction with Holland, and not to either a politico-commercial union with or an annexation to France. As to what King Leopold may be anxious about, it is of little matter ; le Roi des .Postilions has about as much real power in Belgium as the great beggarrnan will shortly have in Ireland. En route to or in Paris, Wiesbaden, or Lon don, LeopOld is an important personage ; at the Lacken, or in Brussels, he is—a king without power—a monarch withcut respect. While referring to this subject we may notice one effect of the late treaty of commerce and navigation which Lord Palmerston signed with Prusia on behalf of the German Zoll Vorein. Germany is already reaping the one-sided advan tages of that treaty, and German vessels have lately, for the first time, left the port of Hamburgh laden with German manu factures, bound for the British colony of Barbadoes. Others are taking in similar goods for British North America. So that by this much vaunted treaty Lord Palmerston has not only given a political status to the Zoll Vorein, and great encou ragement to Germany becoming a naval power, but he has ac tually introduced her manufactures in the British colonial markets, without the intervention of British ships. POST.—Amongst the deliberate lies put forth by the party of the beaten Administration this one is conspicuous, that, so far as town constituencies are concerned, the opinion in favour of the stupidites lately launched by Ministers on the subject of sugar, corr • and timber is an increasing opinion. The elec tions have plainly demonstrated that it is not. The opposite views maintained by Conservative never received such support in the towns since the Reform Bill was enacted as they have just now received. Nothing can possibly be more marked than the decisive disapprobation of the Ministers by the towns since their last absurdities were promulgated, compared with that which appeared at former elections. The Conservatives have been returned by town constituencies in a considerably greater proportion than they were before, and where they did not suc ceed in being returned the number of votes in their favour was very much greater than before. It is, therefore, perfectly clear that, if the Whig-Radicals still have on their side a small ma iority of town Mmbers, they represent a rapidly diminishing requiring no more than some 10,000!. sterling'per annum in interest is to be dissolved by a dash of the confiscatory pen of Senor Bull or any other Minister—whether the five per cent. obligation exigible in casli,-syrrounded by the most solemn guarantees that three languages can . eiPress, is to be extracted from the hands of the holder, and a worthless three, or two, or one per cent., bond giVen in its stead. Portugal has been base in many things. She, too, has given out her Treasury paper, and failed, to this day. to redeem it. Hitherto, however, she has, at all events, had the grace to pay punctually the half-yearly stipulated interest. We abstain from pursuing this business further for the pre sent. Senor Bull has inveighed more strongly than ever we have done against the financial trespasses of his nation upon the property of foreigners, and it is hard to believe he can have changed his coat so quickly after taking office. But shou ld it turn out that the published project is anythifig more than a vile and impudent fabrication, intended to injure his character in England, we certainly shall n o t s pa r e him. The embassy , and Mr. Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, th e highly-respectable agent , must in the meanwhile consider it incumbent upon them, as a point of honour, to ascertain what the fact really is. It can not be the wish of the former that the case should be brought into Court, and this will certainly be the course taken by the Treasury Bondholders if the outrage upon their property said to be meditated sboUld be..,,Persevered in. The public are be ginning to awaken from their lethargy, a nd to open their eyes to the gross delusions practised upon them. Sir C. Williams's address to the Wakefie!ds the other day in the Court of Bank ruptcy Was worthy of the individual. The bankrupts had evi dently, by the manner in which they spoke of their want of " rectitude," no just conception of the magnitude of their guilt until it was placed in the strongest light before them. The mass of fraud and corruption concealed under the sur face of the foreign loan and financial system, will of necessity before long be exposed to a wondering nation. FF DREADFUL CALAMITY 0 DOVER—EIGHT LIVES LOST. DOVER, SUNPAY AFTERNOON.—A considerable degree of painful excitement was created here yesterday, by a report that no less than 30 persont had perished by a fearful collision be tween two vessels off Southland Head. The remarkably fine Russian barque John, of Riga, laden with timber and long spars for the use of the Spanish navy, bound for Bilboa, was about four miles off Southsand Head, about one o'clock yestes day morning, when she ran foul of the Prussian barque Pros. perata (Captain D. W. Albrecht), bound to Ssettin from New port, with a cargo of iron rails, carried. away her bow, and caused her to go down in about 30 fathom water, with eight souls on board, all of whom perished. The mate of the Pros perata, the boatswain, M. Hehendorff, and Eugau, a seaman, saved themselves by jumping on board the Russian vessel. The latter, however, sustained a severe injury on the knee, by being struck by the mainyard, and he now lies in the alms-houses, in Last-lane, Dover. The John has ha d four or:five of her stan cheons on her larboard side carried a wa y , besides her j ib boom, foretupmasts and yards. A fishing-smack, belonging to a ship wright med Johnson, of Dover, brought the John into the t bay, an in the course of yesterday - alareaon she was towed in the wet ek, alongside the harbour, where site will remain to undergo repairs. .. The fatal occurrence appears to have originated from the fluke of the John's anchor coming athwart the bow of the Prosperata, and the vessels steering a contrary course, the timbers of the Prussian barque were perforated, and, for some minutes, it was doubted by the seamen on board either vessel, if both would not go down. The John, however, was extri cated by cutting away her anchor, and she thereby averted the dreadful fate of the Prosperata. The agent of Lloyd's hai the calamity thus entered in his book : "Arrived the Russian barque, John, of Riga, Captain Edward Gerard, from Riga for Bilboo, having been in contact last night off the Southsand Head 1S ith the Prussian barque Prosperata, of Dantzic, Captain D. W. Albrecht, from Newport for Stettin, with iron, when the latter sank, the master, six men; and a boy were drowned, and three men saved themselves by getting on board the John, and were landed here this day. One man received a severe hurt on his knee—sent to the alms-himse this 24th of July. The mate and the other seamen at the Crusader public-house." The Prosperata with the valuable cargo was not insured. She was of 200 tons burden. STATEMENT OF ONE OF THE SURVIVORS. The mate of the Prosperata, Charles Bethke, who, with Hehendorff, is staying at the Fresh Endeavour public-house, in Broad-street, and not at the Crusader, as stated is Lloyd's memoranda, an intelligent man, makes the following statement. setting forth the origin of the collision, and the names of those who met with a watery grave : " About 11 o'clock we were south-south-east quarter east and five miles distant from the Goodwin easterly light, keep ing our course north-east half north. Our vessel was making about four knots three-quarters an hour, and about twelve o'clock we were south-east half east, and about four miles from the light, and one of the men on watch said there was a vessel a head. The night was dark, and there were two men forward keeping a look out, and there were also en deck myself and a man at the helm. The Captain had gone to like down, and the other seven hands were in their berths asleep. Our lull nnmber was 12, but we lost one hand in the Bristol Channel. When I was told there was a vessel ahead, I sung out to the man at the helm to keep off and put the helm up larboard. I also sung out to them on board the John, but instead of her keeping to windward as she should have done, she ran foul of us, and her larboard anchor got fixed in our bow. I beneve there was no look-out on board the John, and the captain told me that he was below at the time making up the log, and all the crew were aft hauling in the braces. The anchor of the John made a hole in our bow of several feet, and we were both fast with eur stern up wards, and did not know which vessel would go down. I called to our captoin, who came upon deck to see what was the matter: and upon seeing us foul he asked the othecs if they were English ? No answer was returned, and we after wards heard by their conversation that they were Rus sians. The captain of the John inquited why our captain came so close to him, and the latter answered • My name is Albrecht.' Our captain then called on us to try to get clear of the other vessel, and half of us on deck set about hauling in the main yards, and the others were engaged in cutting away with an axe the bulwarks of the Prosperata for the purpose of disengaging her from the anchor of the John. The carpenter, named Wesling, was called, but did not come. 1 perceived at this time that there was a large hole in the bow of our barque, and I told the captain so. The sea now came up between the vessels, and the captain or dered us to get the boats ready. I immediately ran to do so, and was cutting away the lashings, when the John heaved to, and struck us again, and our ves s el went down immediately. 'rhe captain, when he ordered us to get the boat ready, went into the cabin to fetch his papers, and he had not time to reach the deck again. I saved myself on jumping on board the John, and Hehendorff, the boatswain, and Eugau, a seaman, did the same. Those that have perished are - D. W. Albrecht, cap tain ; Westing, the earpentes ; Scultz, Ladke, Worm, and Abraham, seamen; and the coxswain's bey and the cabin boy. They were all in bed except the captain. My opinion is that it was very wrong of the crew of the John to be hauling in the braces and all be aft at that time of night, where we were, and for the captain to be below. He told me himself this was so, and I never heard of such a thing before. Myself and Hehen dorff and Eugau have lost everything that we possessed." The survivors, who are Prussians, appear to be deeply .af fected at the untimely end which their shipmates have met with. EXPERIMENTS AT WOOLWICH, WITH THE PROJECTILE INVENTED BY THE DUKE OF NORMANDIE. (From the British Queen.) The first experiments which took place on Friday at Woolwich, with the gre a t p ro j e ctile as prepared by the Duke of Normandie, alth ou gh they did nut prove suc cessful in carrying out th e i n tended effects, yet were sufficient to convince us th a t h e w ill, in a very few days, produce other shells, which will entirely remedy the de fect in those used on Friday ; and will enable him to realise the most sanguine expectation entertained of them. The chief cause of the failure of the. experiments was in the screw which fixes the brass cap to the shell. It was fOund by far too weak to resist the force of the poWder when the cannon was fired';, consequently the cap, in every case, was instantly broken off, and the in ternal preparation of the shell exposed to the blaze of the powder, which ignited it, and the shell exploded at the cannon's mouth. This defect can easily be remedied. One or two other minor defects were pointed out to us by the inventor, which can be as easily removed. The caps proved to have too much metal in them, and pro ject more than is necessary. In the next experiments they will be made much lighter ; and, instead of being fixed on the shell, will be let into it, and form a part of it, by which means they will become perfectly secure against the causes which exploded them so prematurely. FURTHER PARTICULARS.—WOOLWICU, SATURDAY.— The powerful engine, under the preparation of the Duke of Normandie, was examined this day, at three o'clock, in the presence of Major Belson, when it was ascertained that the ~,,mechanism. which was to .have given the explosion to the engine was not in action. It is supposed that the fly did not take motion when the machine was wound up and set for a given time, which accounts for the explosion not taking place at the appointed minute. In consequence of this, it was determined that the machine should be exploded by other means. This was done, and the explosion was of a chart.cter almost impossible to describe ; although the engine was small, it dislodged and blew to a dis tance of several hundred yards, at least 50 square yards of the clayey stiff soil in which it was buried ; it formed a crater of about 15 feet deep at the moment of explo sion, the air was filled with balls and shells, which emitted a blaze of light, and then, in falling to the earth, burst in succession, equalling a discharge of musketry. We Congratulate the Duke on his siOcess •, and are glad to, find that the Duke is about immediately to produce two other engines on the same construction, the ma chinery of which shall be made perfect and explode at the time given. • THE CENSUS, MANCHESTER TOW,NSHIP.— The following returns of the census for the town of Man cliester include the townships of Chorlton-on-Medlock, Hulme, Ardwick, &c. ; and when it is considered that in some districts whole rows of houses have been pulled clown, and their sites occupied by railways, &c., the in crease, it will be seen, has been very great. The follow ing account, however, must be taken only as an approxi mation. the nearest at present to be obtained, to the census • of this township :—Males, 78,983 ; females, 84,464 ; total, 163,447. The classification of the above returns is obtained from the five registrars' districts, which comprise the older, and better known fourteen police districts of the township. By referring to the official returns of the census of 1821, and that of 1831, taking thence the populations at those periods of the several police districts, included in the above return, in one registrar's district, we obtain the following result -1821, 108,016 ; 1831, 142,026 ; 1841; 163,447. Thus it will be seen that the total increase of the population of the township, during the ten years ending in 1831, was 34,010, or about 31i per cent. The increase during the last ten years ending last month, was 21,421, or little more than 15 per cent.

The Evenin g Mail states that Sir Edward Biakeney having received information of an intended outbreak of the peasantry of - Kilkeimy and Carlow " upon an extended scale," has or dered a considerable body of troops to march upon those districts. The Nenagh Guardian states that a rumour prevailed yesterday in the town, to the effect that the Baroness Braye the mother of Robert Otway Cave, Esq., M.P., was dead, and if this was true, Mr. Cave would take his seat in the Upper House as Baron Braye. ARRIVAL OF LORD MORPETH. Lord Morpeth arrived at Kingstown yesterday evening, the Post-office steam packet, and proceeded to the Chief Se cretary's lodge in Phmnix Park. The Lord-Lieutenant, Lord Morpeth, and Mr. Norman Macdonald, Under Secretary, rode in from the Park to Dublin Castle this afternoon. MARRIAGE OF THE LORD LIEUTENANT. The Dublin Evening Post contains the following :—" The marriage of the Lord Lieutenant and Lady Somerville will be solemnised on Monday, at the Viceregal Lodge, by the Bishop of Cashel. In consequence of the recent melancholy event in his Excellency's family, the ceremony will be performed in the most private manner, and the attendance will be confined to small number of the nearest relations of the parties." The Morning Register of this day says, " A new license was obtained yesterday, the former one being taken out in thc name of Viscount Ebrington. The Misses Geale, sisters of his intended bride, will be the bridesmaids. Mr. Geale, who is on circuit, arrives in Mountjoy-square to-morrow evening, and on Monday will have the happiness of giving his accomplished daughter away." MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—Some uneasiness was caused in the middle of the week among the Directors of the London and Country Joint Stock Bank by the absence from business of Mr. Thomas Dighton, the manager, who disappeared under the most mys terious circumstances, and of whom to the present time no trace seems to have been found either by the Directors or his family. When his absence was discovered, the Directors, it is said, examined the books, cash, and securities of the Bank, and had the satisfaction to End that nothing whatever had been misappropriated. Thus the integrity of Mr. Dighton is by no means affected by his absence, and all anxiety of the Directors is at an end, excepting that concerning the fate of the chief officer of their establishment. POST.—Something of a project for the capitalization of the dividend of the Active Debt of Spain for the half year end ing November 1, 1836, or the first lapsed dividend under the Tareno arrangement of 1834, is said to have been submitted to the Cortes, and we are appealed to upon the subject, the holders of the Treasury bonds given in lieu of the money for the said dividend being desirous of knowing whether the new Minister of Finance has really such a scheme in contemplation or not. Without having any special information upon the subject, we should hope there must be some inaccuracy in the announce ment ; for, to suppose otherwise, would be to assume upon in adequate authority, that Senor Surra y Rull is not only not the honest man he has been represented to be, and one who is well affected towards the peopleof this country, but further, it must be assumed also that his financial legislation will, at thevery outset, be based upon the most unpardonable ignorance. According to the new synopsis which has appeared in the papers, M. Roll proposes to convert the Coupons in question, as repre sented by the Treasury Bon ds, into a Three per Cent. Stock, with five per cent. interest to December, 1840. No w, after all the discussion that has taken place respecting this portion of the Spanish debt, it seems incredible that any man who enters upon the office of Finance Minister of Spain should be so consummate a blockhead as not to know that the conversion of the November dividend of 1836 has been literally effected and in the most complete, the most binding form already ; that tha bonds given for it are guaranteed by special decrees, with an interest of five per cent. per annum, and that those decrees have never been revoked. Don Carlos was at the gates of Madrid with the Treasury bonds—the promissory notes of the Queen, Cortes, and Mendizabel, and backed by the Ambassador in London, were issued by Mr. I. L. Golds mid. The language of the Minister was to the effect'that what evermightbe the demands upon his Exchequer, good faith should be observed towards the holders of these temporary substitutes for h-rd cash. The payment was advertised with all the for mality that the English Minis'er advertises the payment of Exchequer Bills, first, on a given a day, when the price ad vanced to 65, while the ordinary debt was at no more than '2O, and next (for the word , of the Embassy was broken), within a short delay.

Oh Thursday night Mr. O'Connell arrived at his house in Merrion-square from Kil kenny. Mr. O'Connell is to attend the weekly meeting at the Corn Exchange on Monday, and he has convened a special meeting for Tuesday. The following is the requisition : " MUNICIPAL CORPORATION ACT. " Corn Exchange, 23d July, 1841. " I request that the members of the Parish Clubs and of Ward Clubs will be pleased to meet here on Tuesday next, ut two o'clock, to take into consideration the best means of ascer taining and protecting against all fraud the persons entitled to the municipal franchise in this city.

HEAD POLICE-OFFlCE.—Captain David Fitzgerald (a son of the Knight of Kerry, and belonging to the 60th Rifles, now stationed at Windsor), was arrested yesterday at Morrison's Hotel, and brought to this office, where he was held to bail, himself in 5001., and two sureties (Messrs. P. D. Latouche, and Thomas Ponsonby) in two hundred and fifty pounds each. Mr. Morgan M'Sweeney, the other principal, has not been as yet arrested, wed the quarrel, as our readers are already aware of, arose out of a dispute which occurred during the recent Kerry election. We understand that the parties were to have met in mortal combat somewhere in the neighbourhood of Kingstown last evening, but for the timely intervention of that active and in telligent officer, Mr. Irwin, who arrested the gallant captain. THE CENSUS OF YORK AND ITS VICINITY. (Frem the York Herald.) To some of our readers it will be a matter of consi, derable interest to ascertain the advance of the popula tion, and the consequent importance of our ancient city.. In former times, we find that the population of the suburbs greatly exceeded that of the city, within the walls ; but those times are gone, and York, thrown back by the outrages of war and the progress of manufactures in other parts, has had many difficulties to contend with. It, however, has lately risen from its ashes, and, during the last twenty years, has assumed a progressive im provement, which, we trust, will continue till the future shall surpass the olden time, and rival the most flourish ing cities and towns in the British Empire. Our readers are aware that the Census is taken only once in ten years. We will, therefore, commence with 1801, and show the increase through succeeding years. The population, in 1801, was 16,846 1811, ... 19,090 1821, ... 22,529 1831, ... 26,777 1841, ... 29,435 We, hence, see, that the increase from 1801 to 1811, was 2,244 ; from 1811 to 1821, the increase was 3,439 ; and from 1821 to 1831, the increase was 4,248. The in crease of the population during the last ten years, ap pears to be only 2,658. This may be accounted for by the change in the boundaries of the City. The estimate is now governed by the Poor-law Union, and we have at present our City Boundary, our Rural District, ancl our Registration District, &c. The consequence is, that the population does not seem to have increased in pro portion to other years. It, however, is a notorious fact, known to all, that the population of York has increased far more during the last ten years than it ever previously did in the same portion of time, and that this compara tive difference is solely to be attributed to the present mode of eftleulating the divisions of the boundaries. We mention these particulars, in order to prevent false conclusions, and we feel confident that the spirit of enterprise is such at the present moment in our city, that we may look forward to a far greater extension both of the population, the manufactures, and the general pro sperity of Old Ebor. THE PUSEIITES. The baneful effects of the immense mischief which you and your co-Tractarians are doing to the Church, become every day more painfully visible in strife and bitterness. Can we be surprised that Dissent should in crease, that new chapels and conventicles should rise up in all directions, when the Church.. has within her pale such a Dissenter as yourself ? I have been in all the Catholic countries in Europe ; I have heard controver sial sermons preached, in many of them, and - with the ex ception of Spain, where I was disgusted with a frantic effusion bellowed out by a merciless monk, I solemnly declare that I have never heard from any pulpit one tenth part of the wrath poured forth against one of the authors of the Reformation,. that you have, poured forth against one of the authors of the Emancipation Act — the founder and patron of the Tamworth news-room. In the Protestant countries of the Continent I found the clergy, whether of the Lutheran or Calvinistic confes sions,' influenced by a very different spirit from that which rages in your rhapsodies: I found them learned., pious, mild, and tolerant. But, perhaps, you would call them Socinians, Sceptics, Latitudinarians. Why ? Be cause they preach the Gospel in peace, and • revile not those whom they cannot convert. How truly pure and apostolical is their spirit, as contrasted with yours. In dealing with your adversaries, 3 ou make a merit of dis claiming Christian charity. In all their discourses, their highest aim and most earnest desire is to proinulgate and enforce it. Yet are they, as Lutherans, or as CalvinistS, more true to their tenets than you are to the tenets of the Church of England. They are not men, who, from interested motives, would make an outward profession of acquiescence in articles of faith, to which, in their conscience they could not subscribe.—Letter to the Editor of the British Critic, 4 Verus, in defence of Sir Robert Peel. THE TRUTH TOLD BY 4:,PA RSON..—.The ar. tisan is exhausted with toil, chained to his post by the pressure of poverty, dispirited by the all but impossibility of rising, with pauperism ever gaping beneath his feet ; the strength of his days. is broken by labour, his mo ments of leisure spoilt by anxiety ; he sees above hint a class whose prosperity he little shares, whose reverses he must often feel ; his .position is the focus of grievances, which may, perhaps, bear equally upon all, yet press palpably on him, for'. he: is- at the very paying point of taxation, and his scanty income is the very gauge of fiscal pressure and mercantile vicissitude. Meanwhile he is one of the multitude, and it is in the mid sea of human affairs that he is tossed to and fro. He is surrounded by distress which he cannot remedy, systems which he can - - mot comprehend, anomalies which he cannot explain, projects and projectors whose prudence and justice he cannot weigh ; yet still everything.about him is human abstraction, seclusion, speculation, are the luxuries of pampered ease'and cultivated mind, not of incessant ma nual toil.—British Critic. • . The Tories are busily engaged in circulating rumours to the effect that the present Government will either not meet the new Parliament, or that they will immediately resign upon the • first majority being de clared against them. Such, we can take upon us to state, is not the fact, and will not be the result. Her Majesty's Ministers are perfectly aware that they will be in a con siderable minority upon the first party division that takes place ; but; with the example of Sir Robert Peel before them, who clung to office until he had. been four times soundly beaten, they would be not only the veriest donkeys in existence, but the vilest traitors to the cause . of the people, if they were to desert the charge entrusted to them, until they had laid their measures for the im provement of the finances, and general condition of the country, fully and fairly before it. We learn, therefore, from a most authentic source, that it is the determina tion of her Majesty's present advisers to persist in re taining office, until they h ave afforded t h e public a fair opportunity of judging of their measures, and coin-. paring them with those of their successors in office.— British Queen. NORTH CIIESHIRE ELECTION.—It appears that the cases of persons voting at the North Cheshire electien, who had lost their qualification from various causes, have been so numerous that the Liberal Committees have thought it proper that some of the offenders ought to be brought to a Court of Ju,tice to answer for their misconduct. It had come to the knowledge of the Hyde Committee that several persons from their own neighbourhood bad voted at Mot tram, _ after having lost their qualification ; and th e y deter mined that one of the most glaring cases should be brought before the Hyde Bench of Magistrates on Thursday ; conse quently a warrant was obtained against a rran named Charles Oldham, who some time ago was the owner and occu pier of a public house on the side of the Sheffield Railway, at Newton. He was taken into cu s t o d y , ari d b rought up lief.re John Turner , Esq., charged Mottram, falsely answered the third question put to him by the sheriff's deputy, by saying that he was still in possession of the property for which he was originally placed on the register of voters for the Northern Division of the county of Chester. The prisoner was ordered to find two sureties in 401. each, to a nswer the charge at the Knutsford sessions. Not choosing to put in bail, be was committed for trial.—Manchester Guardian. The Duke of Devonshire arrived at Devonshire house on Saturday evening, from Kemp Town. and to-day goes to Woburn Abbey; to meet the Queen and Prince Albert. INFANT ORPHAN ASYLUM. On Saturday afternoon, an interesting ceremony took place near the Eagle Tavern, Snaresbrook, Essex, on the _ _ iceasion of layini . the first stone of the Infant Orphan Asylum by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The Infant Orphan Asylum, was instituted in the parish of Hackney, Middlesex, on the 3d day of July, 1827. Its lesign is to clothe, nurse, and educate, m accordance with the principles of the Church of England, infant or ohans who are under seven years of age, till they shall Je eligible to enjoy the aid of those institutions which :cceive the orphan at a more advanced period of life. Its members are cOnztituted of subscribers ; the sub- ;cribus appoint a Committee yearly to manage its con ,erns, and they are responsible to its constituents. The building at Dalston being inadequate and insuffi ient for the accommodation of the objects of the cha rity, the Committee have for some time past deter nined to erect a new and appropriate building in some !ligible situation, and they, with that object in view, Jurchased a piece of ground on the property of Mr. ".,ong Wellesley, a short distance on the London side of he Eagle at Snaresbrook, and a more beautiful spot it vould be difficult to select within several miles of he metropolis. Until Tuesday last nothing what wer was done to the ground ; but, notwith itanding the short space of time which inter vened between that period and Saturdy, the most ample ireparatinns were made for the interesting occasion, and he exertions of Messrs. Piper and Sons, the builders, of Bishops ate-street, who have taken the contract for the _trection, was the subject of the highest commendation. Cho fact of the intended ceremony having obtained pub .. n the metropolitan as well as the provincial four- ials, preparations were made by most fa - milies within a ircuit of twelve or fourteen miles to be present, and the lesire for a fine day, as may well be imagined, was gene rally wished for. Fortunately these wishes were more lan realised, for, though there was not much sunshine, the day in every other respect was most propitious and i'avourable to the occasion. At as early an hour as ten o'clock (though the hour appointed for the ceremony was ,tiro) the country r eople began to assemble in great num bers, and in about two hours afterwards the carriages from different parts of the country, as well as from the west end of the town, began to arrive in quick succes iion, so that at half-past one o'clock the seats; which were provided for the accommodation of 1,200 ladies, And nearly the same number of gentlemen, were com pletely filled, and the scene was one of a most interesting description. The committee having completed their regulations on the ground, returned to the Eagle Tavern or the purpose of receiving his Royal Highness Prince ilbert, and arranging the form of procession to accom 2a4y the Prince from that place back to the ground. At kalr-past one o'clock the Bishop of London ar dyed, and in a few minutes afterwards the Right Hon. :he Lord Mayor, in a carriage-and-four, accompanied by the sword bearer and other civic officers, and escorted by he City Marshal on horseback, drove up to the tavern, and was received by the committee. Mr. Sheriff Gibbs also arrived in his state carriage, and was followed by Alderman Sir P. Carroll and a number of gentlemen of influence in the City. At two o'clock precisely the near Lpproach of the Prince was announced by the firing of some small pieces of artillery and the hoisting of the anion jack in front of the Eagle Tavern. His Royal highness, with his attendants, it appeared, had travelled Uv a special and express train from Slough by the Great Western Railway to the terminus at Paddington, where ilk was met by a carriage-and-four, and proceeded with outriders to Lea Bridge, which divides the county of Es ;ex from that of Middlesex, where he was met by a com- . pithy of the Essex Yeomanry Cavalry, under the com nand of Captain Palmer, who escorted his Royal High- • aess the remainder of his journey. His Royal Highness ' who was accompanied by Lord Robert Grosvenor, Colonel Bouverie, and G. E. Anson, Esq., on approaching the town was loudly cheered by the immense multitude that had by this time assembled, ind on alighting from his carriage was received by the Bishop of London, Dr. Read, and other members of the Committee, as well as several gentlemen, amongst whom we noticed thevenerable G. Byng, Esq., M.P. for Middle sex, J. Masterman, Esq., M.P. for London, Col. Wood, M.P. for Middlesex, and G. Palmer, Esq., M.P. for South Essex, who conducted his Royal Highness to a marquee in the pleasure grounds belonging to the garden, where a handsome dejeuner was laid out for his use and that of his attendants. His Royal Highness expressed great pleasure that the day was so favourable to the occasion, and said he hoped it would continue fine until its com pletion. In the course of this conversation, Mr. Byng made his appearance a short distance from the Prince, and his Royal Highness having then seen him for the first time, shook him by the hand, and asked him in the kindest manner how he did. The procession being by this time formed, the above named gentlemen proceeded with his Royal Highness to the site of the building, and during his progress he was loudly cheered by the populace. Several. cheers were given for Lord John Russell an,d her Majesty's present Ministers, which were cordially responded to. On arriving on the ground the Prince was loudly greeted, and was conducted to a chair in front of the stone by the members of the committee. The ceremony commenced by his Royal Highness putting various coins of the present reign, with the scrolls recording the nature of the charity, in a bottle, and depositing it, with a book, also descriptive of the charity, in an apertdre of a large piece of Yorkshire stone. These he covered with a brass plate, containing the following superscription "Tills FIRST STONE WAS LAID BY HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS YRINCE ALBERT, ON SATURDAY, THE TWENTY-FOURT OF JULY, THE TEAR OF OUR LORD ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND FORTY-OHL-SCOTT AND MOF. FATT, ARCHITECTS." • The stone, which bore within a handsome shield the arms of her Majesty and Prince Albert, and which is the same as that used in the Houses of Parliament, was then lowered. The trowel used by his Royal Highness was of silver, and the mallet, square, and plumb were of polished oak, made from part of the ruins of the late Royal Exchange, and excited much admiration. These acts of his Royal Highness, which were performed with much care and solemnity, were followed by the loud cheers of the assemblage. The Bishop of London then offered up a prayer, in which he invoked the blessings of the Deity upon the work of charity Which they had this day so propitiously begun, and ended with the Lord's Prayer. Upwards of 200 ladies favourable to the charity had undertaken, some time ago, to collect purses of not less than 31. each, and it was arranged that they should, on ' the occasion; place each of their purses on the top of the stone. This ceremony occupied some time, and each lady, after depositing the purse, passed hi's-Royal High ness, the Prince, who remained standing, bowing in the most courteous manner to each, the military band playing all the time, " Here's a health to all good lasses," and by this means nearly 3,0001. was collected. Mr. GELID, a zealous supporter of the charity, called 'for three hearty cheers for the Queen, and three also for his Royal Highness Prince Albert, both of which were warmly responded to, the ladies waving their hand kerchiefs. The children, 100 in number, here sung a hymn of five verses. A procession of the stewards was reformed, and his 'Royal Highness returned to the pleasure grounds of the Eagle Tavern; where lie sat down to a sumptuous lun cheon. On his right sat the Bishop of London, and on his left the Lord Mayor, and Mr. Byng facing him at the bottom of' the table. The Bishop of LONDON begged on his own part, and in behalf of the Presidents of the Charity and the Com mittee of gentlemen present, to express his and their deep gratitude for his Royal Highness's condescension and kindness in attending that day to assist them in the work of charity, and he hoped his Royal Highness would allow the gentlemen present to drink his health with the usual honours. The gentlemen present drank the toast, and his ROYAL HiciiNEss instantly rose and said, " My Lord Bishop and gentlemen, I assure you it affords me great pleasure to assist in the work of charity on the present occaSion." His Royal Highness, with his attendants, took his departure at half-past three o'clock, amidst the loudest cheers. CLERICAL ANTI-CORN-LAW AGITATION. (From the Spectator.) Notwithstanding the lecture read to us by an Evening Paper, distinguished by the zeal and often by the talent of its advocacy of Corn-law Reform, we remain of opi nion that the projected conference of " ministers of all denominations" on the Corn-laws is inexpedient. We did not volunteer that opinion —it was asked of us by the projectors of the conference. To be sure, it .was asked much after the fashion of a gentleman who, having been privately married in the morning, consults a friend in the afternoon as to the propriety of entering the matrimonial state. Had none been concerned but they who were likely to perform a part in the confer ence, we should not have taken the trouble to comply with the request of those who had issued summonses to it, to express our opinion of the expediency of the step. But the progress of sound views of commercial policy — the peace of society, threatened by an augmentation of the sectarian discord already too loud and grating among us—were p er ill e d ; and therefore we cand idl y stated our opinion, quite aware of the vituperation that might be showered upon us, by or on behalf of those who sought not a candid but a favourable opinion. We are told that "we live under a Protestant u _ Go vernment "—that " priests hold seats in Parliai that " our clergy are authorised by law to take it aisr hence inferred prominent part in secular politics ;" an d inferred that the Dissenting clergy ought secular politics, in order - to counterbalance of the Established clergy, of 'Parliament, are to th emeddlmeddle influence i The cases are not parallel.

Two political parsons are two political two nuisances are worse than one, EVENING SUN. The allegation that. the Dissenting clergy tokn tive partin their corporate capacity in the struggle to ob tain a repeal of the Test Act, and that the Catholic clergy took an equally strong part in the struggle for Catholic Emancipation, is not in point. The disqualifying laws were a brand upon their creeds, which they, anxious that these creeds should have a fair hearing, had an es pecial interest in getting removed. Their struggle against disqualifying laws was a part of their missionary labour—a preparatory measure towards having their doctrine listened to without prejudice. They were in the strict line of their clerical duty. If the supporters of the Corn-laws advocated them, knowing—believing them to be calculated to impoverish the community and distress the poor, they would be fair objects for the clerical battery proposed to be opened upon them. But whether the Corn-laws have that effect or not, is the very question at issue. You must convince the majority of the nation that they have that effect, be fore you can get them repealed ; and you must convince them of'. that by hard-headed reasoning, not by clerical denunciations. The Corn-law question is not a theolo gical question, but a question of pounds, shillings, and. pence. It must be settled by profane secular logic, not by garbled and misapplied quotations from Scripture. The Corn-laws can only be put down by argument ; and of all arguers clergymen are the worst. Their educa tion is directed to making them dexterous supporters of a creed which they must adopt, not bold inquirers: after truth. Their practice in the pulpit, where no one can gainsay them, encourages a dictatorial spirit im patient of contradiction. When they glipoui of their own proper sphere, they almost without exception turn out to be quibbling and unfair, declamatory and vituperative. It would almost seem that humbug has greater charms for the political writers on the side of Reform of our day than common sense. If any unfortunate Wight comes to the_vnelusion that the cause of goOd government may bater promoted by some new line of action than that which has hitherto been pursued, and back his opinion by arguments, he is assailed with abuse, contumely,- mis representation, and called an enemy in the camp. If, on. the other hand, some one, 'as in the present instance, rises up and proposes to settle the matter by pulpit ora tory—although every mun among them will whisper you. in confidence that the plan is a gross desecration of reli gion an unfair and disreputabl e su b s titut e f or reason i ng —they all assume a &rave deferential face in public, and, even when some lingering remains of a conscience deter them from advocating the project warmly, profess ' to think it an important suggestion and worthy of atrial. We cannot "teach our tongues to gloze," - and there fore we beg to repeat, in still stronger language than be fore, that we think the projected clerical irruption into the field of secular controversy is calculated to do vary great harm to the cause of rational 'parties- - lit& 'tine religion. THE SCRAMBLE. It is not so much that gentlemen and noblemen do not like to be advertised in. this way for office, for manyt of them do like to be advertised in this way, butitha those who are not advertised in this way are offended to the last degree at seeing the places upofi which they have set their hearts assigned to those who are adver tised in this way. From Nir James Graham down to Mr. Benjamin D'lsraeli, a feeling of angry disappoint-. ment is excited, each measuring his own excellent claims. against the pretensions of the advertised rival, and find ing a most injurious and ungrateful slight in the undue preference. With reason may. Sir Robert Peel depre cate announcements of this nature—sufficient for the day of gazetting them is the evil thereof. He has thirty a1 . ,- pointments to make, and three hundred expeetwits to disappoint. At this moment . there are 'wariing about three Chancellors in expectancy, five 'First Lords of the Admiralty, four Foreign Secretaries, seven Home ditto, half-a-dozen Colonial ditto, two Presidents of the Council, three Speakers of the 'House of Commons ; and, as to the secondary appoint ments, the Under-Secretaryships are engaged 20 and 30 deep, and'the Boards of the Treasury, Admiralty, lade, are filled fifty-times over. When the day arrives for the bursting of all these bubbles, the judgment and gra titude of Sir Robert Peel will not be in very good repute I with his party. He is much to be pitied, poor man I How many are his cares in prospect ? How to govern Ireland ; how to govern the Duke of Buckingham ; what to do with the Duke of Wellington, as to satisfy him that he is thought fit for a working office, though not put into one ; what to do with Lord Lynd hurst, so as to content him, without giving umbrage to Lord Stanley ; how to arrange the appointments of the Queen's Household, agreeably to the pleasure of all the Tory ladies, and all their husbands, fathers, brothers, cousins, &c., and a thousand more such perplexities. A fig is not more full of seeds than the head of Sir Robert Peel of troubles. What cutting . his teeth is to an infant, cutting his colleagues is to a Minister forming a government, and there is no " soothing syrup" for the operation. Not the least obnoxious thing to the Tories, in the arrangement of places, is the preference which Sir Robert Peel must give to his pair of rats over faithful adherents of his party. Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham are interlopers who take the bread out of the mouths of better, because truer, men. They are both undeniably very clever persons, but the Tories could man• their posts without them when they were foremost in the opposite array, and it seems hard, undoubtedly, that their apostasy should procure them a preference, over consistency and fidelity.—Examiner. THE COUNTY REPRESENTA TIVES OF THE TORIES. (From the Examiner.) The Tory organs through the length and breadth of the land are rampant with exultation at the great triumphs which the English county elections.,have given to Conservative principles. We might, perhaps, suc cessfully deny that these elections prove anything except the ignorance, the bigotry, the power, and the tyranny of the landed interest and of the Church. If the propo sition be, that the peer, the squire, the parson, and the elderly ladies united, can overbear all opposition in the English counties, we fully recognise the right of the parties who propound it to inscribe Q.E.D. at the end of the demonstration. We marvel, however, greatly at the moderation of these exulters, for they do not estimate their triumph at one half of its real amount. When Lord Camelford threatened to send his black footman to repre sent his pocket borough, he indicated the greatest con ceivable victory of boroughmongering over a representa tion of the people in Parliament. So, in the case of the counties, it is quite evident that the lower the quality of the persons sent to represent them, the greater is the triumph of Conservative principles. There fore we say that they under-estimate their triumph, for they have taken no adequate credit for the marvellously low quality of the county representatives. What Lord Camelford only threatened, those who control the county elections have virtually carried into effect. We do not deny that Lord Stanley is the keenest debater of the pre sent day, nor that Lord Francis Egerton is a highly accomplished gentleman. We admit that Sir E. Knatch bull has been a Cabinet Minister, and we see no reason. why Lord Granville Somerset should not become one. We do not doubt that Mr. Miles, Mr. Patten, and Sir Eardley Wilmot transact county business in Parliament in a manner satisfactory to those who employ them, nor that (judging from their style of parliamentary eloquence, for we do not know the fact) they are chair.- men of Quarter Sessions. We have named seven out of one hundred and thirty-seven English county Members who are claimed by the Tories, and we should be glad to be informed how many grains, even of the slender est corn, the most careful winnowing could redeem from .the chaff which remains. Of thirty-four new county Members it might be unfair to pronounce any decided opinion, _though, in the great majority of their cases, exhibiti,Giis on the hustings have been quite suffi cient to moderate our expectations of any latent states manship. Ninety-six tried men remain, and with re spect to eighty of them at least, we will, after having carefully examined the list, venture to assert, that no mechanics' institute in England would, out of 137 of its members, furnish eighty so little marked by talent or in formation. The qualifications for an English member are to inscribe Church and Corn-law an _ on te his be banner, to be sufficiently " fat in the head," d contest.

Under the agis of the Duke of Wellington, si r E. Knatchbull and,men of his stamp are emboldened to re tail an argument which would have been poli-poh'd in any society but at the tea-table of a cathedral town, if it had emanated merely from themselves. But the whole amount of the county Conservative triumph is not yet told. About twenty-two Ij-beral county Members/who sat in the last Parliament have been defeated at the present election, or having been forced by the hopelessness of the case to withdraw with out venturing on a contest, have in. every instance been replaced by Tories. Among .them we find the names of Lord Morpeth, Lord Houck, Lord C. Russell, Mr. E. J. Stanley, Sir 11. Vivian, Sir C. Lemon, and Mr. San ford. We limit ourselves to seven, because we have pre viously given the elite of 137 Tories amounting to that number. We challenge comparison between the two lists. The Conservative triumph might be carried much further, for we have no hesitation in saying that the list of twenty-two rejected Liberals contains in it more talent, more Parliamentary knowledge and industry, than are to • be found among the 137 accepted Tories. If we had not- sufficiently established the shrinking modesty of the Tory exulters, we might, with great advantage to the Conser vative cause, pursue the inquiry by comparing the un- , . successful new county candidates with the successf Tories. Mr. W. Gisborne, for instance, in South Derb y. shire, with Mr. Colville; but "forsan satprata biben This state of things, however, opens wide considerAtiotrs, to which we may advert on a future occasion.
