HE CENTRAL COMMITTEE for con ducting the ELECTION of the FOUR REFORM CANDIDATES — Sir MATTHEW WOOD, Bart., WILLIAM CRAWFORD, Esq., JAMES; PATTISON, Esq., and Lord OHN RUSSELL, Sit daily at the GI , Coffeehouse, Guildhall-yard, where all communicatie os and applications relative to the Election are requested to, be made. ABRAHAM W. ROBARTS, Chairman. JOHN TRAVERS, Deputy Chairmen. G. H. HEPPELL, GEORGE WANSEY, Hon. Secretary. TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE FAITHFUL CITY OF WORCESTER. GENTLEMEN, THE retirement from Parliament of Colonel Davies, will, at the ensuing General Election, impose upon you the necessity of selecting some other individual to whom you will confide the important trust which your long tried and justly-valued Representative is about to resign. Encouraged by the favourable opinion communicated to me, by several of the members of your highly-respectable consti tuency, I venture to present myself to your notice, and re spectfully to solicit your suffrages, that I may, as his successor, represent your faitlaful City. While thus soliciting your support, I am fully aware that the privilege an'A duty of electing Members to serve in Parlia ment, at all tiT.nes important, are rendered so at the present crisis to a degree which at no period of our history has ever been surpo.ssed. As I I ",ave sat for some time in Parliament, my name and tilts general character of my political principles are perhaps 'Jot altogether unknown to some of you. But on the present most important occasion, and soliciting for the first time the honour of a connection with your city, it is fit that I should make some more particular and distinct avowal of my political sentiments. I declare myself, therefore, to be a steady, persever ing Reformer, at all times desirous of maintaining and preserving the institutions of our country by adapting and restoring them to their original objects, and by purifying those institutions from the defects and abuses which the progress of time, the changes in the state of society, or the selfish purposes of suc cessively dominant parties, may have created ; believing as I do that the blessings of the Constitution can be perpetuated only by seasonable and timely reparations, and that without such reparations, and without a proper and judicious adaptation of its true principles to the present circumstances of the com munity, even its most valuable parts may be perverted into po sitive evils. I first sought a seat in Parliament for the immediate purpose of adding my hnmble aid to the promotion of the cause of civil and religious liberty ; and I have constantly, and, I trust, con sistently, persevered in furthering those objects, while, at the same time, to the Church I have been a determined friend, and of which I shall ever continue to be a steady defender ; conceiving, however, that I best discharge the duties of those characters, and that I act most in accordance with the prin elides upon which that Church is based, by recognizing the rights of all to liberty of conscience, unaccompanied by civil disability, and unstained by degradation of any kind. The proposed alterations in the Corn-laws, and in restrictions upon other branches of trade, demand especial and explicit no tice ; I, therefore, beg to state, that I entertain the opinion that the country cannot too soon regulate its commerce gene rally upon principles more enlarged and liberal, and directed to the promotion of the greatest possible good to the community at large, and to the abandonment of the false system of sacrificing one class of the community to another—a system which experi ence has shown, not only fails in attaining its partial and unjust object, but is productive of evils never contemplated. At the same time, I admit, that justice requires that the necessary al terations in the laws should be made with due caution, that they may not injure the classes or individuals whose pursuits and en gage:events have been regulated with reference to the existing laws, and without just ground to anticipate any immediate change in those laws. I appear before you, soliciting the free and unbiassed votes of every member of your Constituency, expressing my abhorrence and repudiation of coercion and intimidation in every form. Long, indeed, have I opposed the exercise of such unrighteous means, and too long have I been witness to the cruelty and the evils which it inflicts. Ido not hesitate, therefore, to declare my intention to continue to vote for Election by Ballot, not insensible that some evils may be inseparable from the system, but feeling that such evils are less than those produced by the present course of unjustifiable interference and persecu tion, rendering, as it does in many instances, the Elective Franchise, intended by our Constitution to be the most honour able badge and possession of a freeman, an evil to its possessor, and converting it into an instrument of his oppression and degradation. Such, should Ibe honoured with your confidence, are the public principles by which my Parliamentary conduct will be regulated. To the local and particular interests of your faith ful City, and its Inhabitants, you shall also find me zealously de voted. The trust which I now solicit at your hands I shall regard as of the highest value, and your kindness in conferring it, as binding me, by every tie of duty and gratitude, to main tain and defend it on all occasions to the best of my abilities, and, whenever the season shall arrive, render it back to you unimpaired. Immediately my public duties will permit I shall appear before you, when I shall be ready and anxious to afford such further satisfaction as any of the Electors may desire, and shall have the honour to renew, in person, my solicitation for your favour and support. In the meantime I beg to subscribe myself with great re spect, Gentlemen, Your most devoted and very humble servant, THOS. WILDE. 29, Dover-street, London, June 15, 1841. SUPERIOR CANDLES.

LONDON, FRIDAY, j u - NE 18,_1841 PRO REGE, LEGE, GREGE. FOR THE QUEEN, THE LAWS, AND THE PEOPLE. TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS AUGUSTUS FREDERICK, DUKE OF SUSSEX.. MOST NOBLE Duna, Y OU know a power which, if brought into play at this moment, would carry all the Elections, not in favour of this or that Ministry, but of the eternal principles of truth and ,justice —a power that would be felt throughout the civilized world, wherever humanity has lived—that would ex tinguish slavery wherever it may be found—that would make COMMERCE FREE AS THE WINDS, OR LIGHT, OR RA IN OF HEAVEN, and boundless as the Mercy of our ALMIGHTY FATHER—that would instantly clear up all the mists that cloud the mental, moral, and religious world—that would not only expose the ludicrous and shameless insanity of St. Stephen's, but would bring to scorn the still more laughable pranks of Oxford and Cambridge, of Pu seyism, Church-of-Englandism, and Catholicism—that would clearly demonstrate all the ESSENTIAL truths of Chris tianity to be true as the problems of Euclid—that would throw a halo of moral power and beauty around the NO BILITY, and clothe them with a panoply of dignity and grace—that would set forth our Established Church the brightest diadem of Victoria's crown, and. fairest portion of our glorious Constitution in all its pristine brilliancy and grandeur, and give to her heaven-born influences a power and effect that would etherealise the world, and make her that Jacob's ladder, which, connecting earth with heaver', would link finity with infinity, and give to man an inextinguishable thirst for a nearer and nearer approach to the spotless pt'rity of his Saviour and Redeemer—inspire him with a quenchless longing after that highest and best of man's hopes, lmmortility—that eternal life of joy and glory. Do send the mandate forth, and let our noble craft be man's regenerators. I have the honour to subscribe myself, Your Royal Highness's very humble servant, JOSEPH JOHNSON, of Liverpool.

Slit DAVID WILKIE. It was hut the other clay that we rejoiced in the a : . parture of this great painter for the East, and saw in fancy a, series oF delightful pictures, in which the East ern costume and character were brightly stamped. Let ters arrived both from Turkey and Pales/ inc, wherein he expressed his delight in the strange land:s and nations ho was visiting ; nor were his communications without their devout sympathy with the hills and vales which, when a boy, he had seen by the light of Scripture. His pleasure when, on entering the harbour of St. Jerca d'Acre, he saw the hills of the Holy Land, he described as amount ing to rapture. It has for some time been reported i,i the newspapers that Sir David was ill, yet he coul'l scarcely be called ailing, eith(er during his voyage to Egypt, or his reso dence there, where he painted the portrait of Mehemet Ali, and made number] ass sketches ; indeed, se far as we can learn, his health_ did not appear to have suffered till he reached. Ma',ta, where, oppressed it is said by the heat, he ate tr eely of fruit, and drank some iced lemonade. According to the published accounts, on Use 31st of May, the Oriental steamer, on board of which Sir David and his friend Mr. Woodburne were passengers, entered Gibraltar Bay, and received her despatches. " Shortly after she had got under weigh, six o'clock A.M., Mr. Woodburne went into Sir David Wilkie's berth to reo t uest he would come up and breakfast with the company ; he replied that he should probably do so, but he should like to see the doctor. Mr. Gattie, a medical gentleman, then came to him, and soon returned to Mr. Woodburne, with an as surance that his friend was in a very dangerous state. Mr.Woodburne, being greatly alarmed, asked Dr. Brown (who was with Sir James Carn.ac) to consult Mr. Gattie as to what could be done to sa - ce his friend ; and the two medical gentlemen made every exertion, and applied all the usual remedies within their reach, without avail. Sir David kept gradually sinking, but did not appear to experience any bodily suffering, and became un conscious about half-past 7, and at 8 o'clock he ceased to breathe, his friends and the physicians being with him all the time. The passengers assembled to con sult what was to be done, and they requested the captain to return and land the body at Gibraltar. He did return; but the orders of the Governor are so strict, that the remains could not be allowed to come on shore, and therefore the last sad office of committing his body to the deep was performed in the most solemn and impres sive manner, as the Oriental stood out of the bay on her way to England." Sir David Wilkie was the son of the Reverend David Wilkie, the minister of Cults, near, Cupar, in Fife, and the author of a work entitled " Theory of Interest, Sim . ple and Compound, derived from First Principles, and applied to Annuities of all Descriptions." David was, we believe, one of four children, and was born in the manse, or minister's house, celebrated in former times for the retreat there of the murderers of Archbishop Sharpe. Sir David always spoke of his father with the highest filial affection, and when his name was before the world and some of its money in his pocket, he erected a monument to his memory, from the hand of his friend Sir Francis Chantery. How or when Wilkie first evinced a love for art, we have never heard ; it is likely that few now remember, and that he himself never thought it worth the telling. A story, however, of his love for character when very young has been told before in this paper, and we cannot do better than reprint it here :—" We happened, some time ago, to be living near Canterbury," says an old and well-known writer, " when we were accosted by a north country peasant, or wandering gardener, from the county of Fife, who took a paper from his pocket book and desired us to read it. This was a certifi cate of character, written by the Rev. Mr. Wilkie, of Cults, in Fife, setting forth that the bearer was sober and so forth. I have heard,' said the Scot, that the minister has a son in London, who is grown a great man. I wonder which of his sons it can be.'—' It is David,' we answered, and a far-famed man he David !' he exclaimed, what, wee curly-headed David ?—wha would have thought that now ! And what is he great for, can ye tell me ?'—' For painting,' we replied.— ' Painting !' the man of Fife turned up his eyes : paint ing ! now that brings to my mind that he used to draw the heads of the boys in the school, and me among the rest—and when he saw a boy mounting the furm for no saying his psalm, he just gloried—l maun see him some of these days.'" His first models Wilkie rewarded with a tune on his fiddle, such as " Clean pea strae," or " Maggie Lauder ;" his London models were not so cheaply remunerated for their time. In his fifteenth year (1803) his love for art and his skill with the pencil was such that his father and his friends thought that both merited cultivation ; and young Wilkie was sent to Edinburgh, where he was regularly entered a student of the Trustees Academy, then under the direction of Mr. John Graham. This Academy had been originally instituted for the encouragement of de sign in manufactures, but Graham, in extending its uses to the fine arts, was entrusted with the power of naming subjects for competition, and distributing prizes. For one of these prizes the subject was a scene' n Macbeth, and Wilkie obtained the second prize ; the first was awarded to an individual of the name of Thomson. Of Graham's general kindness, Wilkie always entertained a grateful remembrance, and gratitude extended itself to a predilection for a few of his works ; and an engraving, from a picture by his first master, was one of the orna ments of the pupil's house at Kensington. Here Wilkie had for his fellow-students, William Allan, the present Academician and successful follower in•his footsteps, and John Burnet, whose engravi ngs , a ft er Wilkie, have' done so much to increase the reputation of both. At this early spring-time of his life, Wilkie had given some promise of his after excellences. One of his first pictures was an ' Inside of a Public House,' and another called Pitlassie Fair.' It was at Pitlassie that he saw his Blind Fiddler led from booth to booth, and there he gained the leading features of that inimitable picture. " Both," said Graham, " are in the style of Ostade, with great breadth, great character, and great expression." Wilkie at this time had never seen an Ostade. One of his early works was for many years a public sign in the town of Cupar,—it has now found a more honourable and less perishable station. Two years at the Trustees Academy was then the usual period of study, but Wilkie stayed there two years longer (as did Burnet and others), and in 1804 came to London with the ambition and the talents of an artist. He was for some time here unknown and unencouraged, but still toiling away at his art with all the confidence of true . genius and the certainty of success. His first pic tures found no very profitable market, through a com mon enough exhibition—a place in a frame-maker's win dow at Charing-cross. He had left a few of his works, without his name or address, to be sold at stated prices for ready money. A week after Wilkie called to see how Fortune had' favoured him, and found that his works, with their merit and low prices, had met with an immediate sale. His first picture exhibited in the rooms of. the Royal Academy was his " Village Politicians," in 1806, when little more than one-and-twenty. This was an order from Lord Mansfield, who named no sum, and hesitated at the price when the picture was produced, as too great for a young and unknown artist. But this was previous to its exhibition, and it was not before public admiration had named five times the amount as its value, that his Lordship paid the purchase-money or was reconciled to his bargain. Never was such a second picture sent to the Academy Exhibition as Wilkie sent in 1807, for in that year his "Blind Fiddler" was exhibited on the walls of Somerset House. Hundreds then crowded around it, and thousands have since seen it with untir ing admiration. It' is now in the National Gallery, and was Wilkie's execution of an order from the late Sir George Beaumont of a picture to the value of fifty pounds! Would it not sell for a thousand now ? Wil kie's first lodging in London was at 11, Norton-street, Oxford-street ; when he painted the " Blind Fiddler " his address was 10, Sol's-row, Hampstead. He thence removed to Kensington, and never left that neighbour hood. In 1808 he exhibited his " Card Players ;" for a good picture, an early Wilkie is not produced without great thought and great labour, and the artist knew that he must first learn to do well whatsoever he desired to do with ease. He soon, however mastered freedom of touch and finish, for in 1809 he exhibited his " Cut Finger " and his " Rent Day." The latter was bought by Lord Mulgrave for 300 guineas, and offered for sale at Christie's some ten years back, but bought in. The colours had faded greatly, but the character and ex pression were there even beyond what Raimbach has reached in his excellent engraving. Wilkie's portrait, by Beechey, was one of the attractions of the same Ex hibition. In November 1809, he became an Associate of the Royal Academy, and, seemingly content with his first honour, had no picture in the Exhibition of the following May. In February 1811, he was made an Academician and an Esquire ; the presentation picture was his " Boys digging for Rats." In the same year he exhibited " A Gamekeeper" (now at Coleorton), and " A Humorous Scene." His pencil was never idle, and in 1812 he had on the walls of Somerset-house " The Village Festival," and a sketch of his " Blindman's Buff." The "Festival" was sold to Mr. Angerstein for 900 guineas, and is now in the National Gallery. These were followed in 1813 by " Blindman's Buff' (in the Royal Collection), and in 1814 by " The Letter of Introduction," and " Duncan Gray," or " The Refusal." For " The Letter of Intro duction" Wilkie received from Mr. Dobree, of Waltham stow, 200 guineas, and his " Duncan Gray," at Lord Charles Townshend's sale, passed, at the price of 450/., into the collection of Mr. Sheepshanks. In 1815 he exhibited his " Distraining for Rent." The history of this picture is curious : it was bought by the Governors of the British Institution for 600 guineas, sold to Ram' bath, for engraving for the same sum, and, when engraved, was bought from Raimbach by Mr. Wells of Redleaf for 700 guineas. In 1816 he exhibited his " Rabbit o n th e W a ll , " i n 1817 " The Breakfast," in 1818 " The Errand Boy," and " The Abbotsford Family," now at Huntly-Burn. No picture was allowed to remain on his hands, and he had orders faster than he could execute them. " The Penny Wedd in g , " exhibited in 1819, was a co mmission from the Prince Regent, and " The Read ing of the Will ," o f the " foll owing year, a commission to the amount of 4.50 guineas. from the Ring of Ba varia. But one year had occurred as yet without a Wilkie in the annual Exhibition. In 1821 he exhibited Name,"and " Newsmongers , " " Guess myand in 1822 his " Chelsea Pensioners Reading the Gazette of the Battle PRICE 5d of Waterloo," painted for the Duke of Wellington at the cost of 1,2001., by far the largest sum that he had then received. These were followed in 1823 by his Parish Beadle,' i n 1824 by his " Smugglers offering run goods for sale or concealment," and his scene from "The Gentle She called in the ca t a l ogue " Th e C ottage T o i let, " and in 1 :25 by " The Highland Family." To all j oyb :s of art, and all the frequenters of the great London ZKliibition, t;:e years 1826, 1827, and 1828 were sadly Wan:ing iii pictures, for there was nothing there from Willie's haod. These were the years of his memorable visit to, Roane and Madrid, that wrought such changes in his style, and in the selec tion of his subjects. Italy had been a beaten ground for painters of all grades of merit, and Wilkie thought it ad visable to take to a new field, and find in Spanish sub jects a picturesque novelty that would attract and com mand attention. Nor was he wrong,—he returned laden with sketches, and several pictures all but comploo ; among the latter were " The Spanish Posada," "The Maid of Saragossa," " The Guerilla's Departure," in d " The Guerilla's Return ;" the four pictures tint George IV. made his on the unpacking of the painter's foreign labours. On the death of Sir Thomas Lawrence, in 1830, Wilkie, then busy with his portrait of George IV. in his Highland dress, and his Royal patron's reception at Holyrood, was appointed to succeed Sir Thomas in the office of principal painter in ordinary to his Ma jesty. There was something of Spain in all that he now did, and his portraits (for he took to portraiture on his return,) had a dash of his favourite Velasquez about them aIL Among the best of his portraits we would in stance his " Lady Lyndhurst " (at the Duke of Welling ton's,) for its colour and treatment, not for its likeness, and the " Duke of Sussex" as Earl of Inverness (exhi bited in 1833), for its general breadth, and as a portrait which Vandyke would have admired. With all his passion for portrait-painting, or rather, perhaps, its profits, which he now manifested, he did not neglect the higher branch of his art, and his " John Knox preaching" was of a more elevated class of pictures than he had before attempted. , The Knox was exhibited in 1832, and purchased by Sir Robert Peel for 1,5001. To carry on, however. the stream of his works, he exhibited, in 1833, his " Spanish Monks," a scene witnessed in a Capuchin convent at Toledo ; in 1834 his " Not at Home," and his " Spa nish Mother and uhild ;" in 1835 his " Columbus," (now at Mr. Holford's, in the Regent's-park—the price . . 1,100 guineas) ; in 1836 (the year -in - which he was knighted) his " Peep-o'-day-boy's Cabin ;" in 1837 his " Mary Queen of Scots escaping from Lochleven Castle," " 'I he Cotter's Saturday Night," and " The Empress Josephine and the Fortune-teller ;" in 1838 " Queen Victoria's First Council ; in 1839 " Sir David Baird finding the Body of Tippoo Seib," and " Grace before Meat ;" in 1840 " Benvenuto Celliti and the Pope," and " the Irish Whisky Still ;" and in 1841 two portraits, the last that he has lived to send. The Baird was a com mission from the hero's widow, to the amount of 1,5001. Among his unfinished works was "Nelson sealing a Let ter," and " John Knox administering the Sacrament." Such are a few of the works of this eminent pain ter, which require enumeration rather than descrip tion, for the gravers of our best artists have been employed to widen the world's intimacy with them. Sir David was but fifty-six when he died. There was time for many a fine picture before he had attained the scriptural threescore and ten. " Hogg met him in 1816," says Mr. Lockart, " with a graceful greeting. He eyed the great painter for a moment in silence, and then, stretching out his hand, said, " Thank God for it ; I did not know that you were so young a man !' " Hogg felt as we all have felt, but did not live to participate in our regrets.. Into all his earlier pictures 'Wilkie introduced cha racters such as his native land readily supplied. No strolling fiddler, wandering tinker, or mendicant bag piper passed him, it is said, while he was but a boy, without a record in in the sure sketch-book of his me mory. He took sittings, too, of the husbandman and matrons of the land, and illustrated with them the social manners of Scotland. So wisely had he studied, and so happily had he singled out scenes in sympathy with his own powers and the popular feeling, that his two first pictures may be said to have established his fame. These were followed by a succession of pictures in the same spirit, in which not only all and more than the fine grouping, and life, and social character, of the best Dutch painters appeared, but a purity and moral purpose unknown to that school. When' at the height of his fame,,he visited Spain and Italy, and his genius received fresh impulse and a new direction from the great painters of those countries. We have heard him speak with delight which brightened in his eyes of the wonders wrought by Velasquez, by Tintoretto, and by Titian. From this time forward his reach was higher and his subjects of a nobler order. His ascent was gradual and regular. His Waterloo Gazette' was the earliest intimation which we had of his rise : his' Knox' was a step into the historic, but his Maid of Saragossa,' his Josephine,' and his Columbus,' was a stride, and a long one. Yet critics were not wanting who regarded each fine proof of the variety of genius as a descent from his first style and his homelier pictures ; that he had deviated like Turner from the right path which he was once so far advanced in ; and that he had plumed himself for flimhts for which he had not the reach or strength of wing. This however is certain, that he could never have attained a fame for that style of painting greater than his first pictures had procured him. There is a. - reason for everything in Wilkie's pictures ; he has no accessory without its propriety. In dramatic skill in telling a story he is only equalled by Hogarth, while in the brightness of expression and variety of his productions, he approaches and sometimes walks side by side with Burns. In mingled humour and seriousness, in open mirth and that tenderness which inclines to tears, they resembled each other, and equally so in that moral feeling which lends such lustre to both poetry and paint ing. His fine taste came as much from nature as from study : there was thought impressed on all his composi tions, and the sentiment of the scene was ever uppermost. He had the finest sense of propriety of any modern painter, and an insight into human nature which he has stamped on all he touched. The Arts have not suffered such a loss since the death of Sir Joshua. No one ever worked harder for fame than Wilkie. Every large picture that he painted had its fifty subsi diary sketches and studies for light and shade, for heads and for hands, and all of masterly touch and finish. He had clay figures for every picture, to shift for light or composition's sake. He had acquired all the secrets of his art, but with all the liberality of genius made no secret of what he knew. An instance of his liberality in teaching others to arrive at his own excellencies be fore recorded in this paper deserves transcription here. " A young man, now a painter of eminence, when the fit of art fell upon him, came to London, resolved to commence painter at once. He had a letter of in troduction to a member of the Royal Academy—a distinguished one. He was received with politeness, and was emboldened to request some information concerning the mode of making up a palette and employing colours. ' Young man,' said this person there are mysteries in my art—these are of them, which are not to be told, and must be discovered by long study—l wish you a good morning ?"I'hus re pulsed," said our informant, " I resolved to be more wary with Wilkie, to whom I had a letter also—l saw him, was received kindly, and as soon as possible I began to hunt for the information I wanted as ingeniously as I could. Wilkie turned sharply round, and said, Oh, you want to know how to prepare your palette, and commence on canvas ? Had you said so at first it would have saved going round the bush—come with me.' He took me into his painting room, and would not let me go away, till he saw that I had mastered the difficulty to a certain extent. As we parted he said, smiling, Come back, if I can help you further—come back at any rate.' "—Atheneum. [ADVERTISEMENT.] To THE LADIES.—The influence of the sun on the skin and complexion at the present season, is fre quently subversive of comfort to persons of delicate skin, by producing sun-burns, freckles, tanned skin, and parched lips and swollen.

On the 18th of last month she appeared, for the first time, in the ballet of Gitana; and, to use her at n words in a letter, which, by the kindness of a friend, we have before us—and a ntost elegant production it is— " On my appearance on the stage, I was received with an enthusiasm which it would be impossible to describe.

REPRESENTATION OF MARYLU BONE. Last evening a most numerous meeting of the, of Marylebone was held at the Mechanic's luatitw j.Rs, Circus-street, for the purpose of meeting Sir Berijati;_i; At the time appointed for taking the chair, the theatre of this establishment, which holds more than the hun dred persons, was completely filled. Sir Benjamin Hall, who was accompanied by Commodore Sir C. Napier, was received with vehement cheering, after which Were was a cry of three cheers for Napier, and these having been given most cordially, the chair was taken by Mr. STAINES, who said that, in 1837, he had been on e of those who thought that the gentlemen who' sat in Parliament for the borough did not repre sent the opinions and feelings of the electors, but were only looking for place. The independent electors, who were not satisfied that Association Com mittees should assume the nomination of candidates and the election oerepresentatives, applied to Sir B. Hall io come forward, and placed him in that situation of trust and responsibility which he had for four years tilled to their entire satisfaction.—(Cheers.) The Tory candi dates, Hamilton and Cabbel, were now making the repeal of the new Poor-laws their war-cry. So did Lord Teignmouth in 1837. At that time Sir B. Hall refus . ca to give any pledge upon that or any other subject, cue tenting himself with a reference to his previous votes ii Parliament. But in 1839, Lord Teignmouth voted against every proposition for amendment, netwitie,Kinti ing his solemn pledges to the contrary ; and Hall, who had given no pledge, voted in favour of every anieneue2;e. —(Cheers.) Sir B. Hall voted for the principle of eui - door relief.—(Cheers.) Teignmouth voted against it. —(Groens.) Hall voted for, and Teignmouth against the abolition of plurality and proxy voting—(Cheers)---and subsequently Lord lei , ,,rnmouth, in spite of his piedges, voted for the continuance of the Commission, an&sir B. Hall, notwithstanding his refusal to pledge, voted against it.—(Great cheering.) The Chairman , then ad verted in strong terms of eulogy to the conduct of Mr. G. A. Young, who, in consequence of the result of. the Ballot at the Colosseum, had not only retired front the contest, but had promised his utmost support to hall and Napier—(Cheers)--and in proof of his Lincerity . had that morning written his name as a Member of the United Committee of the Reform Candidates, to whom he tendered every assistance in his power. The Chair man then introduced Sir B. HALL, who said that four years had now elapsed since he presented himself to the electors in that room, and thanked them for the honour they had conferred by electing him as their repre4aeta:- tive. He trusted that during that time, which was only one of probation, he had briven them satisfaction, and that now, when the day of trial arrived, they would give his their suffrages.—(Cheers.) When he offered himself before lie abstained from giving pledges, but gave the best assurance that could be given, that o f conduct in the discharge of his duties to his former constitueueve-t -(Applause.) In the first circular which he addressed to the borough he stated that he was desirous of an exten sion of the Suffrage, the Vote by Ballot, and short Parliaments—(Hear, hear, hear)—and that he was opposed to those obnoxious parts of the Poor-law Bill, against which he had since voted— (Cheers) —although he refused to give any pledge which might seem to be proffered, even for the purpose of se curing his return.—(Cheers.) On the subject of the extension of the suffrage, he would now repeat that he thought every man who was identified with the locality in which he resided ought to have a voice in its represen tation—(Cheers)--and he considered that a more im portant question was the Ballot ; for which latter mea sure, however, there was as great necessity, in the large constituencies of the metropolis as in the small boroughs of Monmouthshire.—(Hear, hear.) With respect to the Corn-laws, he felt as a landowner that their object was to keep up rent, and his oppoli tion to them was the cause of the only differenet he ever had with his constituents in Monmouthshire, which was an agricultural county.—(Cheers.) The Hoe. Baronet then quoted from the evidence of Mr. M‘G-retcer before the Committee of the House of Commons, to slave- that in the years when corn was at a high price great numbers were out of employment and wages consequently ' low—(Hear, hear)—and that a high taxed people eould. afford to protect a particular class no more than a man whose expenses were great could afford to be generous.— (Hear, hear.) On the question of Church-rates and the education of the people, it might be enough to refer to his previous votes.—(Hear, and cheers,) In reference to the state of the borough he should say that he had abstained at the former election from any coalition, as he had been invited for the purpose of up holding the independence of the borough ; but when he found that Sir S. Whalley was falling far behind he gave every assistance in his power to raise him to a level with himself upon the poll.—(Cheers.) In the present case he had not coalesced with his Gallant Friend Commodore. Napier until the Tory candidates paraded their coalition. —(Cheers.) But he also told his Gallant Friend, that it the ballot to be taken on Wednesday should be decided in favour of Mr. Young, he would give that gentleman his cordial and entire support.,—(Loud cheers.) The remnlt of the Ballot had been the perfect union of the Re formers. And here he bore testimony to the bight: , honourable conduct of I\ir. Young throughout the con . test, and more especially at the close.—(Great cheerio There was another ground for rejoicing in the manifes tation at the Colosseum. It had proved the efficacy :.;f the Ballot—a matter much discussed in Parliament and in the Clubs. And he had told several Members of Par liament, that if they had witnessed the proceeding.; of Wednesday night. at the Colosseum, they would acknoW ledge the efficacy of the Ballot and be converted. ft was pos:ible that he might not again go into the House of Commons, before he appeared before his con stituents on the hustings, and he might be said now to resign into their hands the trust which they had reposed in him, and which, he hoped, he had discharged faithfully. —(Repeated cheering.) He had on all occasions sup ported every proposition to extend the privileges, to pro tect the rights, and to improve the moral and physical condition of -the people, and he would ever collating to do so.—{Renewed cheers.) Before he concluded, he would read an extract from an address of the Chartist Council - of Bath, to the members of the Association; calling on them to support Lord Duncan and Mr. Roe buck, although they differed from them upon some im portant points, and to remark that on Mr. Duncombe's motion for the restoration of the transported Chartists, many of the Whigs had voted for the restora tion, but the Tories to a man had voted against (Cheers.) He trusted that the electors would use every effort to drive their opponents from the field, and that they would remember they were the same party who, in 1815, passed so many laws for the purpose of crushing the liberties of this country. He sat down amidst the most enthusiastic cheering. Mr. WILLIAMS moved, and Mr. SAVAGE seconded, in eloquent speeches, a resolution to the effect—" That the electors present offer their most cordial thanks to Sir Benjamin Hall, far having faithfully discharged his duties as their representative, and upheld the principles upon which he was before returned to Parliament, awl pledge themselves to use every effort to secure his rip.. turn at the next election." _ _ The resolution was carried unanimously, and three times three cheers were then given for Sir B. Hall, with the utmost vehemence. Mr. Flummox, who had been one of Mr. Young's dommittee, came forward and said that he and his friends, although not agreeing on all points with Commo dore Napier and Sir B. Hall, would firmly abide by the decision of the " Ballot," and use every exertion to se cure the return of those gentlemen.—(Cheers.) Mr. CooKE then moved, and Mr. Mu.Ls seconded, a , resolution to the effect—" That Sir C. Napier having , been chosen by a large majority of electors, who bal' lotted at the Colosseum, the present meeting pledged it-' self to use every exertion to secure his return as the colleague of Sir B. Hall." The resolution having been carried unanimously, and with very great enthusiasm, Sir C. NAPIER was loudly called upon, and was re ceived,having as on every former occasion *hen he has pre sented himself to a me e ti ng of the electors, with deafen ing and prolon ge d cheering and applause. He said tiles alreadyopinions,at i s t ix w th a e s n n d ot is n tri eo c e t s m sa ee ry fortingsbirnexpnlaoi,nvedto hisie political over the same ground. He believed he had seen almost every Reform elector of the borough, and he had again stated his opinions at the largest meeting ever held in the borough when 3,000 electors were assembled in the Colosseum, on Wednesday night —(Cheers) who selected him by a large majority.—(Loud cheers.)

The Tories were at work and active, and the ladies were at work.—(Hear, aullaughter.)

Sir B.

He concludsd by moving a vote of thanks to the Chairman. Sir C. NAPIER seconded the motion. The motion, it need scarcely be added, was carried unanimously, and with great applause; after which the meeting separated, with three times three cheers for is Reforni' candidates. Yesterday afternoon a serious accident occurred in the tan-yard of Mr. Thomas Hooper, of the Grange, 80. mondsey, to a man named William True, aged 49 years.
