It is, of course, impossible for any one whose sympa thies are all with the Whig party, to avoid feeling the deepest mortification at the verdict against them that the Constituencies have just pronounced. To the present feelings of a moderate Reformer, those of an ancient Jew when told " The ark is taken !" are only the conceivable parallel. The Government, with whose stability the as cendancy of Liberal principles was identified—a Govern ment that is, indeed, the personification of temperate li berality--now exists only until its succesaors are ap pointed, its days meanwhile beingnumbered, and it 3 sub stantive autho.iity already gone. The Ministers' elect are the heads of a party composed of hereditary, and seemingly instinctive defenders of abuses, to whose spontaneous act no . ameliorative measure can be ascribed. Whatever may be unprecedented in this state of parties, it is certainly not their relative position as Tory majority and Whig minority. how little is there of new or strange in this aspect of the political world !* It seems but yesterday since the Whigs were in minorities the most miserable and hopeless. Excluded,, seemingly, in perpetuity, from office, opposed to the Court, and to large majorities of the Aristocracy, the populace, and even of the stolid respectability of the country ; thus it was, that those Whigs on whose disinterestedness imputationa , are so freely made, spent, in general, their youth, nay, the middle of life. Thus it was, that they find advo cated measures on which their original opponents now take their stand, and defend as monuments of political wisdom. The Whigs, therefore, need be nothing' daunted, nay, frorithe result of their former ,exertious, haye.,tho giauit‘ - eti•iiiii4aWrie - n t, iii r suriiinb thei . r old. post in opposition. They may excusably hope that, as the measures they once supported against such-over whelming odds are now practically approved in being universally maintained, so may at length be flume for the sake of which they are again in what is, in truth, their accustomed station, in the minority, that is, in ad vance of the mass of men.

Now that the Reform Bill has thus yielded a Conser vative majority, it is impossible to avoid addressing to the Conservative party the inquiry. Is this the result that you expected from the Bill ? The failure of the Tory predictions as to the effect of that measure, began with their utterance, and has been unintermitted. The diatribes in which it was opposed are unparalleled re cords of political miscalculation. Nor can this reproach be fairly retorted, at least not on the Bill's mosterational supporters. The existence of Conservatism in consider able strength under the Bill, was foreseen by them, nay was an essential element in the considerations that led them to hazard so great a change as the Bill involved. The occurrence indeed of such transference of power as is now impending, could not seem very improbable or remote, even when the fortunes of Conserva tism had sunk to the lowest ebb. To reflecting observers of the progress of events this occasion presents little that is unaccountable, or that was not long ago more or less anticipated. The change is not in public sentiment, but in the measures that are the test of party distinctions,—and respecting which the nation, in ele vating one party and depressing another, gives judgment. It is easy, nickel. to contrast the Whig majority of ten years ago with the Conservative majority of the present day, and thence to infer a re-action against Reform. But are the questions respecting which a Whig majo rity once existed, the same us those that the country now decides against the Whigs? By no means. On Parlia mentary and Corporation Reform, on the Emancipation of the Slaves, and the Opening of the China Trade, there was a large majority. Is that majority reversed On the contrary, it has become a unanimity of practical approbation. All the great questions respecting which the Whigs ever had a majority are affirmatively settled. Questions respecting which there never was a Whig ma jority, or so large a majority as is now arrayed in their support, have become the first in practical urgency. Thus only it is, that there is presented to superficial observers a fallacious appearance of re-action against the cause of liberality; when, in reality, that cause is steadily advan cing, every advance it has made being quietly maintained, and new advances being auspiciously attempted, though necessarily without immediate success. Is it then to be regretted that the Whig leaders have occupied ground on a hich they are not nationally sup ported, by making an approach, at least, to free trade — the chief of the present distinguishing principles of their party ? Far from it. Even with respect to party inte rests, the promulgation of the Budget was a wise and sa lutary step, Can the cause that is identified with commercial free dom be desperate ; ? On the contrary, though, even be-' cause of this association, it may now be checked, yet is its safety and ultimate triumph assured. Little appre hension can he have of the doctrine of .free trade, in :anits itin.th.. and lengthrecommend itself to universal belief and practice. Men cannot be much longer deluded by the ridiculous fallacies that ccitibine -with rapacity in retaining the ex isting fetters of inciti§try, Those liberal commercial prin ciples, in defence of which th e p resent Government are about to fall, are resolvable into axioms, the truth and jus tice of which are plain 'as the sun at noon-day, and are•cor nd substance right to protection from fraud an h d ei N r io s te li niz a ., is, that every man, in the exercise 2. fair competition, from whatever quarter, f his ci n tl ,f l i i; t g li ,:asa but not from do mestic or foreign, it may come. Whoever wishes ;To teetion from competition wishes not fair play, but more —that is, unfair favour. Protection, the watchword of monopolists, in the sense of protection from com petition, is a barbarism that should be abolished, not only in law, but even in language and in idea. A better cause cannot be conceived or wished, than that of unmixed and resolute hostility to this abuse of protec tion. It is the cause of the nation against special inter ests—of self-evident right against the most flagrant wrong—of sense against nonsense. To suppose that the monstrous system of protection from competition will not give way before further discussion, deliberation, and ex perience, would be a satire on the nation and age, and little less than an imputation on Providence. The balance of trade was hardly a grosser absurdity, and not nearly so mischievous as this protection.. If there is not an extraordinary interruption in the march of intelli gence, the day cannot be distant when this preposterous folly will be consigned to the limbo of exploded fallacies —the more abhorred and despised from the extent to which it had injured the interests, and imposed on the understandings of men. Those who resume political as cendancy as defenders of this erroneous and pernicious system, occupy ground that is constantly being swept away. A loss of power through an attack on this scandal of the national policy, must be temporary, if there is any reliance to be placed on the progressive enlightenment of the public mind. Reformers will become more discriminating—abandon ing some proposals that have been hastily adopted, but which would, in truth, not advance civilization, but cause it to retrograde. Their views will be developed and rationalized.. They will learn to supply the serious de ficiencies in the approaches to justice, which alone they have yet ventured. Civil and religious freedom have yet to be vindicated as much as commercial. National self government must be more distinctly established.

CUARGE OF SHOOTING AT 3IR. DIDDULPII. TULLAMORE, TUESDAY.—"This day having been fixed for the trial of Michael Colgan and Michael Doherty, for shooting at Francis Marsh Biddulph, Esq., with in tent to murder him, -the Court was crowded from an early hour. by the country people, who seemed to take a deep interest in the result. It will be'remembered that this case was tried before at thr , last Assizes, whem the 'Jury were dh3clltirgeti .: ant coming to a verdict, and public attention was drawn to it in more than an ordinary degree from it being made the subject of debate-iwthe Hottse of Lords, where Lord Charleville impugned the construction of the Jury who tried it, and cast imputations on the Government for having abandoned the old custom of challenge. All these circumstances tended to increase the interest excited by the case altogether, and particularly as regards the re. suit of the trial. When the prisoners were arraigned, the grand panel was called over, and 154 appearances having been en tered by the Clerk of the Crown, several Jurors were challenged on behalf of the prisoners. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated the case. Mr. Biddulph was then examined—He said he resided at Itathrobin, in the King's County. Recollected the morning of the 25th of Sptember. Proceeded on that day to land, which he had got recently through a civil bill decree. He went outor the gate, and he met a man named Middleton. He proceeded along the road with me towards Mountbolus for about two hundred yards. When we came to a particular part of the hedge, which was lower than the rest, he called after me, and said he had another word to say to me ' • and, upon turning round with my face towards the ditch, a gun was fired at me. There were two marks with swan drops, but I was not cut. One entered, and another tore my skin. My mare then ran back towards Michael Guy's house, and I told a woman, named Guy, that I was shot, and I then gallopped instantly back towards the place where the shot was fired. When I went as far as Denis Con way's house I met a woman, named Honor Lynch ; she pointed to where a man was running in the field, and I rode into Conway's lawn, where there was a staked gap, and the people not having opened it for me, I forced my mare out over a stone wall at the end of the house, and, on getting into the field, I saw a man running in a stub ble-field. I followed him, and overtook him where he was with others at a harrow. C,'3LTRT—Did you know him ? Witness, in continuation—l did know him. I went from that to the meadow of Ballyellen, and then went home. In about three weeks after, I, in consequence of information received, found a gun in Clane plantation ; the lock of the gun was down, and the hammer half up. It had the appearance of having been recently discharged. It had no ramrod. I know Doherty. He had been in my employment, out of which I turned him about two months before this transaction. Honor Lynch was the next witness examined—l was at home between nine and ten o'clock ; heard a shot fired ; I saw the shot fired out of the plantation ; Mr. Biddulph and `John Middleton were on the road at the time ; they were beside each other ; his horse gallopped back towards RathrObin when the shot was fired ; I fol lowed Mr. 8., when I saw a man cross the road with a gun ; he wore whiteish trousers, a blue coat, and black hat ; he went towards Lugg,amarlaw ; he crossed the road near Denis Conway's ; I found a piece of black stuff ' near the spot where the shot was fired: Honor Fury identified the prisoners as the persons who fired the shot ; but, on her cross-examination, she broke down, for she admitted having sworn before a Magistrate that _She ielieved. Doherty. was not one of the men. Two witnesses swore that they met Colgan near the place at which air. Biddulph was assailed on the morning of the occurrence ; and a Magistrate deposed - that Colgan denied having ben at the place at all. Jane Biddulph examined—Saw a man leap over the demesne wall in a few minutes after the shot was fired. Was not able to see :his features. He wore a frieze coat and trousers. Did not know who the man was. Mary Biddulph examined—Deposed that she heard the shot fired, and having run out, she saw a man run through the lawn towards the plantation, with a long gun in his hand. He wore a grey frieze body coat, light coloured stnallclothes ' and blue stockings, but she did nonknow him. She followed him across the lawn, but he turn,.-1 round and pointed the gun at her. I saw Paddy caw on th ,...• road afterwards. By Mr, m ea n, did not mention the name of Col gan at the imst trial, Caroline Biddlatlph examined—Saw a man on the lawn with a gun in his hand. Thinks it was Doherty, but would not positively swear to him. By Mr. Goamax—r apew Doherty before, as he was in my brother's employme:it. Elisabeth Biddulph was nett examined, and identified the prisoner Doherty as the person that was seen run ning across the lawn with the ge,a in his hand. Saw . him leap the ditch. Was just beside and thought he had whiskers, but it was a black stocking that was up about his face. Knew him when she saw hin; the next morn ing. Knew thatit was false whiskers he h.la• Mr. GORMAN — Oh ! Miss Biddulph , who,: did you to come to know it was false whiskers tho man knew it at the last trial. Did you mention a word about them being false tvht kers ?—I mentioned it to my sister. Did you mention it to the Magistrate before, when you swore the informations 7—No. Did you swear on the last trial that the man who leaped over the ditch had large black whiskers, or that you thought he had, till Mary Anne Hennessy told you it was a black stocking ?—I did not. Mr. GORMAN—I will disprove you, from the report taken for the Crown. . The Court rose at a quarter to nine o'clock. The case was proceeded with again yesterday ; and as the first witness for the defence was about ascending the Able, one of the Jurors was taken suddenly ill, and the "urther hearing of the case was adjourned to this morn mg. If the Juror be not recovered, and able to discharge the duty, the probability is 'that the trial will be ad journed for a fortnight, or the prisoners admitted to bail to stand their trial next assizes.

The ground having been excavated to a consi derable extent, a large tree at the top of the Slopes close to which Green was at work, suddenly gave ' a y and descended to the valley below, a distance of nearly 40 feet, in an almost perpendicular direction, draggi a n i t the man along with it.

UNPARALLELED ROBBERY. —Tuesday night, at Woburn, at an inn where one of the body guards of her Majesty and Prince Albert was quartered, a robbery was committed of an unparalleled description. Mr. Peter Smith, of Bedford, broker, with another person, occupied a room adjoining one in which John Hough ton, a private in the 11th Hussars, or Prince Albert's Own, slept. A detachment of the above regiment es corted the Queen from Windsor Castle to Woburn Ab bey on Monday, but were quartered in Woburn, one of which escort was the said J. Houghton. The companion of Mr. Smith went to bed early, and was awoke when he went to bed. Smith soon fell asleep, but his cempa nion having had a nap did not fall to sleep. Whilst ly ing ho saw a person come into the room in his shirt, and go towards the chair where Smith had wrapped up his watch and the guard in his waistcoat and laid them, and then retired. Mr. Smith missed his watch, and search for the soldier was made, but he had gone to the railway at Leighton Buzzard, with despatches from her Majesty. The rural police hearing of the circumstance, came on Wednesday to have the soldier searched, but found nothing. On looking betwee n his mattrass and bed the Ivat and guard were found. He was then taken before the Bev. 11. 1). Ward, who was visiting Woburn, and fully committed -for, trial to Bedford gaol.

DUNBAR, Ave. 4.—The fishing yesterday morning was decidedly the . best in the season, and kept all the curers busy throughout the day ; the number of boats on the station about 140. Many had above , 30 crans ; one went as high as nearly 60, crans. This morning it is not so abundant, although many good shots have been brought in. Selling price Worn 12s. to 14s. per cran. Besides home curers there are' five French luggers in the harbour. The only cry out is, the want of. harbour room, and it is a cry much to be regretted ; but it is hoped will be soon remedied by the extensive harbour improvements now only . iVaiting• the sanction of the Treasury to carry them into - execution. ANSTBUTHER, Atm. 3.=—Last night upwards of 300 boats put - to sea with light winds and tine weather, and and this morning many of them returned well laden with shots varying from 10 to 40 barrels of herrings of ex cellent quality. Price's, from 28s. to 135., fell as the heavier cargoes arrived; Some' boats realised 28/. for their morning work; and some of the curers have bought 200 crans 'to-day. There pre seleral French vessels in the harbour, and the town is all bustle hh a a n ive d eay a a n rf i oi m eri a od t uy io r n bo . eewnn PETERHEAD, AUG. 2.—The fishing at this port con tinues, as usual, equal to any on the coast.

SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES OF TRADE. The influence of commerce upon national wealth is only indirect. Those engaged in commercial undertak in(rs make no change in the articles they buy and sell. They merely barter one sort of produce for another ; and, generally speaking, what is given is the exact equi valent of what is got. The advantage of the exchange —and it is not easy to overrateits importance--consists in its enabling those who produce the commodities or - articles that form the subject matter of commerce, to carry on their business without interruption. The in tervention of merchants and dealers gives a continuous motion •to the plough and the loom. They collect and distribute all sorts of commodities ; they buy of the farmers end manufacturers the things they have to sell ; and bringing together every variety of useful and desirable articles in shops and warehouses, individuals are able, without difficulty or loss of time, to supply themselves with -whatever they want. Were the class of dealers an nihilated, that division of labour in agriculture and manu factures, to which they are indebted for most part of their progress, would be wholly destroyed. The moment an individual had produced a quantity of wheat, of cloth, or of shoes, he would be obliged to leave his peculiar occupation, and to endeavour first to dispose of his produce, and next to find out the various individuals possessed of, and willing to part with, the different articles required for his consumption. Under such cir cumstances it would not be possible to confine ourselves to one employment ; and every family would be obliged to undertake the manufacture of most things required tir its support. All the advantage of co-operation and combination would be lost, society would be thrown back into primeval barbarism, and would not possess a tenth part of the accommodations that are now enjoyed. But this is not all. Besides enabling individuals to addict themselves in preference to such employments as suit their tastes or capacities, and to prosecute them without interruption, commerce gives birth to a territo rial division of labour. Different countries, and different provinces of the same country, different situation, soil, climate, and production ; some are admirably fitted for the produce of corn and wool, but are without wine and silk ; some have rich mines, while their cultivated lands are poor and scanty ; some are overrun by forests, while others can hardly boast of a solitary tree ; nor is there, in point of fact, a single country, however rich in native products, that would not , if confined to its own re sources, be destitute of many articles indispensable' to a comfortable existence. But by the establishment of a free commercial intercourse, what is deficent in one district is industry rtyh the genius diverted t o e f d t h i e n i balanced by what is superfluous in another; and an in dustrious nation enjoys whatever is useful, rare or valu rprienfheraebnictaenttos able in all the countries and climates of the world. As soon as a commercial intercourse grows up each people endeavours to avail itself of a peculiar means of produc t those employments in which the physical circumstances is su pplied with all that is elsewhere obtainable; es p e cially-fit them to excel; while, by exchanging such and d tr i i n e d s , A remarkable pike, weighing about Sibs., was o nions of their peculiar produce as exceed their portions for the peculiar articles raised by others, 9 since, by G.

(From the Edinburgh Courant.) . HARVEST.— Barley harvest was commenced on the farm of Mr. INlollison, Easter Echt, so early as Saturday last, the 31st of July. The . quality of the grain appears to be excellent,• and . the • quantity will rate at about ten returns. Other portions of barley in the district will also soon be ready for cutting. ItArnEN.—Mr. George Mutch commenced the harvest in this early parish on Monday last, the 2d inst., by cut ting a patch of bear on•Muirycrook. INVERNESS, AUG.- 4.—On Monday last we had a favourable change of weather• —the long-continued mois ture having given way to genial warmth and drying breezes. Towards the end of last week we visited Mo rayshire, and were glad to observe the excellent prospect of harvest which is everywhere visible. The farmers all state, that during the month of July the season was ex tremely wet, in consequence of which the turnip crop, which had brairded finely; was checked in growth, but both the barley and oa ts have been muchimproved in and fills better than t deteriorated the straw. Wheat has suff ered from rust, and as a con siderable breadth of this g rain is sown in Mora y shire, muchin has n o the loss will be felt by man y f armers.

LORD AND LADY JOHN Ex tiar, AT SELKIRK. . . • ELKIRK, JULY 31.—As we...had .this aftern scene of considerable interest in our usually (pie Id: Osetire burgh, I think you may probably like to !kwau Lnef account of it. You are already an that Lord John Russell came to Bowhill to spend the honey-• moon with his young wife. Soon after his ar rival the Magistrates and Council resolved to present him with the freedom of the old burgh, an hot. our Prince Leopold accepted a short time before lie becanie King - of of the Belgians. A correspondence ensued, 4trid threiv o'clock in the afternoon was appointed for the ceremony; when his Lordship was to pass throagh the town on his way to Minto-house. Accordingly, at half_ past two the inhabitants of the burgh, 'a vast number from Galashiels, and a few patriots from Hawiek, assem bled in the Market-place, and with flags, music, &e., marched out to meet his Lordship at the conftnes of the town's jurisdictiun. • . _ After waiting a short time, Lord and Lady RusseTh drove up in a splendid carriage and four, when the• whole marched into town in procession. Her Lady_ ship being left at the inn, Lord John, taking the arm of the Chief Magistrate, walked to a hustings erected in front of the Town-house, when the ceremony of in vesting with the burgliship was gone-through. In this: ceremony, licking the birsc, that is, dipping a bunch off shoemaker's bristles in a glass of wine, and drawing them across the mouth, is the initiatory rite. After which, in presenting him with the burgess ticket, the Bailie made a short complimentary speech, describing him as a statesman whom we were delighted to honour, having had a large share in the p a - ss i ng of the Reform Bill, the Abolition of Slavery, &1..: &c. ; to which Lord John made a most spirited reply. After praising Scotland for the intelligence of its peo ple, his Lordship plunged headlong into politics. - He. said he had no claim to our 'regards, no title to our good wishes, except in so far as. his public conduct met our approbation. In the measures tie had advocated and supported, he had been:solely actuated by a convic tion that they were ; for the public good, and not for the of popular applause. On the contrary, had -ho thought. ether-wise,- he . would have given them his • most. decided epposi,tion. groin the safety with whiett the great measures of late years 'tare been carried info operation, he argued that he must go on, and that - there were no fears that, in carrying tbrward measures of public liberty, they would be abused. Look at the Reform Bill, when first introduced ; it was assailed by its enemies , as the precursor of revolution, anarchy, and bloodshed ; and yet those very ene mies now - .hailed• it as • the • :very means by which they wished and. hoped to gain that authority of which they had been deprived. Again, take up the subject of Negro Emancipation. Had not the abo lition of this immoral and unchristian system been de nounced as the sure harbinger of ruin to our West India islands—as sounding the death-knell of the white inhabitants !" Yet what has been, the result ? Peace, ,happiness, and prosperity. His Lordship then adverted s t t eng-ly to the subject of national. education. Let the p eo p,,e be educated, said he=at least let the people of England and Ireland be educated up to the standard so general in. Scotland, and he had no fear that any future measure of:, political freedom woultt be abused. No ; once give the people education, and he would be per- feetly willing to Su:Y:IIU the government of the country to their enlightened jaigment. His Lordship concluded amidst hearty cheers, . which, indeed, had accompanied him at intervals throughout his speech. An address fronithe inhabitants of Galashiels was then read and presented. The health of Lady Russell having been drunk, and three cheers for the Queen, his Lordship returned to the inn, and shortly afterwards the happy pair drove off amid the loud huzzas and good wishes of the multitude.— Glasgow Chronicle.

A woman named Meringo, who keeps a lodging-house in the Butcher-row, has produced the watch of the deceased, which, with half a sovereign and six shillings in silver, she received from Pitts the morn ing after the murder. A reward of 1001 d has been offer ed by the Government for the discovery of the murderers, with free pardon to any accomplice, not being the actual murderer, who will give such evidence as may lead to conviction. To this reward a further sum of 501 will be added by the family of the deceased.—Westcrn Luminary. STEAM-BOAT FARES.—The trivial amount of expense at which persons can travel by Steam is now al most incredible, and must be felt •as a great boon. A traveller from hence may reach London, via Hull, so far as fare is concerned (if content with 'the steerage), for ten shillings and sixpence. Glasgow, by steam to Stir ling, and thence by coach, for three shillings. To Stir- 7 . ling one shilling. The opposition on this passage-has had the effect of reducing the faros to a very low rate, and as a matter of course it has caused a corresponding activity on the part of those competing—for example, I during last week the BenlCdi sailed upwards of twelve Ihundred miles to and fr o m Newhaven, Stirling, and Largo. The Bridge of Allan, via Anon, can be reached for two shillings ; and we have reason to believe that this is the preferable route—the distance from Alloa to the, bridge being similar to that from Stirling, and the coach fare from both places is exactly the same. The fare to Dundee - is two shillings and sixpence ; thence to Perth, one shilling and sixpence more. Largo and. Leven, one shilling and sixpence ; and Dysart, ninepence. Kirk , :My, one shilling. We have only noticed the steerage or second Cabin fares.—Edinburgh Observer.
