GEORGE WANSEY, Hon. Secretary. Central Committee-room, Guildhall Coffee-house, June 26, 1841. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE LANARK DISTRICT OF BOROUGHS. GENTLEMEN,. PORMULY you were addressed by me on the subjetl of your election for a Ripreeentative in Par liament, and I was afterwards informed that you had retained the offer of the seat for nearly a fortnight, waiting my arrival among you. In consequence of your thus expressed favourable opinion I offered myself as a Candidate at the succeeding general elec tion, and lost the seat by four votes, because I would not ob tain a seat by the purchase of a single voter, or enter the House of Commons as a Member, except by the unbought suffrages of the electors. The reasons which induced me to offer to represent you in Parliament at those periods have now greatly increased. My desire at those periods to become a Member of the Le gislature was to obtain an opportunity to advocate measures to retard the progress of poverty, immorality, and crime; the causes for which were then in activity, and upon the continued increase. The causes of these evils, as 1 then foretold, have, from that period, continually increased, until they have now attained a fearful and appalling character; for crime—the con sequence of want of beneficial employment, and a sound, prac tical education—h is increased in Scotland, according to authen tic documents, since I first addressed you, snore than forty fold, and it is yet upon the increase ; and upon the increase, be cause the causes which produce these evils are daily growing in strength, trona being fostered and encouraged by the errors of the system in which our country is involved. You know what I effected among a manufacturing popula tion by a sound, practical education and beneficiaremploy ment, for nearly 30 year at New Lanark. Poverty, disunion, vice, and crime, were rnidly diminished, until it became the most moral, industrious, and the happiest manufacturing village in the British empire. And yet, under the direction of the same just principles, with the experience thus acquired, far greater advantages may be now easily obtained, and perma nency secured to the whole of the industrious classes most beneficially for all classes. I am desirous of fully explaining those now deeply, interest. ing, and important subjects in the Imperial Parliament, that the world may be speedily informed of the great good which may be obtained for the population of all countries, by national education and employment, under the direction of sound practical measures; of measures derived from an accurate knowledge of sciences hitherto not understood by the Legisla tors of any country. It is for the benefit of others 'that I de sire to achieve thisldeveloprrient in Parliament. I cannot, therefore, canvass for votes or incur expense in obtaining a seat, but if you freely elect me, I will perform my duty to you and to the public without regard to individual consideration or interest. The objects which I should advocate in Parliament, were I to obtain a seat, would be the following 1. A Graduated Property Tax. 2. The Abolition of all other Taxes. 3. Free Trade with all the World. 4. National Education for all who desire it. 5. Notional Employment for all vto require it. 6. Liberty of Speech and Writing on all subjects, Civil, Religious, and Political. 7. Full and complete freedom of Religion for Christians, Jews, Mahomedans, ilindoos, and every other form under every name by which men may call themselves. I am, Gentleman, your friend and servant, ROBERT OWEN. G REAT WESTERN RAILWAY. OPENING THROUGHOUT.

We, among other journalists, very often blame the Ministers for not going fast enough and far enough; and certainly we have at times been much chagrined and mortified, to see those _whom we had supported for their anti-Tory opinions, succumbing to their and our enemies. Perhaps we have not made sufficient allowance for the influence of Government over those who wield it, and the influence of the classes who block up all the avenues to the Throne. For nearly fifty years prior to 1830, the Tories were exclusively in possession of the Govern- meat; during that time the wonderful inventions of WATT and ARKWRIGHT, turned to an admi rable account by our ingenious and industrious people, conferred boundless power and boundless wealth on the nation. It cannot be denied that great social progress co-existed with Tory domi nation, and the Tory Government became associated in the public mind with a great in crease of wealth and power which it did not con_ tribute to produce, which it squandered in mis chievous profusion, and which it did its best to destroy. It never was popular after the com- meucement of the French revolution ; but, in the minds of the upper, and many of the middle classes, it was associated with great success and great splendour, and they honoured it as if it were a system of almost Divine appointment. Against that prejudice the Whigs, aided by the people, have had to contend; and we ought,'per haps, to be surprised that they have done so much, rather than they have not done more. In one of his speeches on Reform, Lord BROUGHAM, after his accession to office, de- scribed in his graphic manner the many re straints and bonds he felt gradually extending themselves over him, and fastening him into the position of his predecessors. That was a true description of every man - who has to admi- nister a system ; he finds that it masters him; and the longer he runs in it the more completely does he becomes its slave. Now, when it is re membered that not only the form and the rou tine of the Government were completely Tory, borough of Marylebone in Parliament, has had vamped up and paraded, before the eyes and in the houses of the electors, a list of all the money he has given, during his life, to public institu tions. In one year he gave 101. to a musical academy, and in another 25 guineas to a Lying in Hospital ; and now he is making the most of his gifts, by lumping them altogether, in order to charm the elector's out of their votes. He spreads out his several puny donations till he makes a great show, and then asks to be represented on account of his wealth. The man and his friends must be a set of sordid hunxes, and they must suppose the electors of IVlarylebone to be as bad as themselves. and had long been Tory, but that all the subor dinate officers of the State were Tories, who guided their several departments and places on .Tory principles, it is not difficult to conceive how the Whigs, as they re mained in office year after year, became more and more hampered with the ancient Tory system, and more and more obliged to move in the ruts which it had worn. NVe find in these If he had subscribed these sums out of genuine charity, he would have taken care that his right circumstances, when we remember what the and . should not have known what his left hand was performing— " Who builds a church to God, and not to fame, Will never mark the marble with his namo." Mr. BOND CARRELL seems to have stamped every guinea he ever gave in the cause of charity with his own name, and now asks the electors of Marylebone to reward him for his thumping benevolence. The benefactor of the poor, as he describes himself, never insults them with a parade of his gifts. He who gives much, and boasts of it, must extort much, as some of those who are the most constant at public prayers are the greatest sinners. POPE, no bad judge of human nature, represents a City Knight as soothing his conscience, after he had cheated a customer, by giving alms and going double tides to church. Let the electors eschew devotees and money-grubbers. What they want is, not a man to go to church, or to subscribe to infirmaries, but a man who will protect their rights—who equally ready n the field and the senate ; who unites the ities of the courageous warrior and the fear exposer of corruption. Such a man is 'IER. Free, independent, and honest elec- qual less NAP tors will vote for the Gallant Commodore; those who are looking forward for a berth in an in firmary or an hospital, will support the puffing gentleman whose great merit it i 3 to have sub sclibed a few hundred pounds, in the course of his life, to some public institutions. The time for talking and writing about the elections is almost past, and the time for acting and voting has arrived. He must be a recreant Englishman who votes for a bread-taxer. lie will be unworthy of woman's love or children's affection, for he votes either to doom women to barrenness, or their offspring to misery and pre mature death. All Tories are bread-taxers ; they will not abate one farthing of their Moloch impost. The Whigs would abate it, and, if the anti-bread tax feeling be strong in the country, would abolish it. Whoever, therefore, votes for a Tory, votes to doom a large portion of our popu lation annually to a premature grave. But there is no time to think or write much more on the subject. The City election is already appointed for Monday. Other elections will immediately follow, and every voter must be prepared to act like a true man, or be stigma tised as a recreant knave. Whigs have done, an explanation, if not a justi fication, of their not having done more. The Government being practically founded on the principles of coercing the people into obe dience to a certain system, necessarily corrupts to its own purposes all who are called on to ad minister it. It is not denied that the Whigs In Southwark, Lambeth, and Finsbury—Mr. TOOKE having, it is said, retired—there will be no contests. Westminster is at length startled by the voice of a Tory candidate. A Captain bus, who may have been heard of on the waters, but little on the land, has offered himself to be the man of the Tories. They tried to start Sir R. PEEL and Sir WILLOUGHBY COTTON, but the former has run off for his pocket borough of Tarnworth, and the latter has not turned up a trump. In Westminster there is no fear of the result, and Capt. Rous, R.N., will only rouse the electors to demonstrate that their zeal in the good cause of freedom knows no relaxation. Mr. LEAD ER and Sir DE LACY EVANS will be much in debted to the Captain for eliciting many proofs of the attachment of their friends. have used its coercive power with much mode ration ; but, nevertheless, having been obliged to use it, they have shared the unpopularity which properly belongs to Tory institutions and Tory laws. The difference between the two parties is, that the Tories see in the Constitution nothing but a system of coercion for the people. The Whigs see in it also a means of securing their liberties. They try to reconcile the two ; the Tories think only how they can make the system obeyed and respected. They profess to despise popularity—to despise the people and their opinions, and to care for nothing but the preservation of the law. The Whigs defer to the people; they admit the in fluence of their opinions; and they do not prefer a system to popularity, or a theory to the public good. Whoever has the Government to administer, must necessarily-be obnoxious to those who, like the Chartists, demand great changes, which it is supposed to 'be the duty of the Government to resist. But the Whigs have administered it with mildness, white the Tories would have carried it out with terror, till they had kindled rebellion. Though the Chartists-may not like the Whigs, and the administrators of the Government, they ought to hate the Tories ; and every Chartist who votes for a Tory is false to the principles . of the Charter. We had written so far when Mr. WADE'S pamphlet, entitled " Reform Government," ab stracted from his " Glance at the Times," and published by EFFINGHAM Wir.soN, reached us. Mr. WADE justly states, that—, Since 1830 England has undergone as many and as great changes almost as it is possible for a nation to undergo, not only in the form but' in the practical spirit and administration of her institutions. There is no in stance perhaps of a country achieving so peaceably, yet in the main so efficiently, a reform of old and inveterate abuses, of effecting so radical a change in every depart ment of her domestic policy, without the risk and detri ment of a revolutionary convulsion. In those remarks we agree, and the success of the Whigs in accomplishing so much, should readily make the people follow them in their present endeavour to , accomplish more. Agree rig, too, with Mr. WADE in most of the follow ng remarks, we have great pleasure in quoting them : From the City, where the contest will un doubtedly be severe, we hear the most favour able reports. The Tory candidates can say nc, - thing against the Whig measures—they only ob ject to the time at Which they are brought for ward. They would support such measures, were they proposed by Sir R. PEEL; but they will not be allowed the chance of recovering their popu larity in office by a sacrifice of 'consistency. We confidently expect that the success of the four Reformers in the City will give an impulse to the popular cause throughout the empire, and ensure a majority of Liberals in the new House of Commons. Besides the ordinary French mail of Thursday, bringing the Paris journals of that date, we have received, by • Extraordinary ExpreSs the sub stance of the news in Friday's journals. The Budget of receipts for the year 1842 was voted in the Chamber of Peers on Thursday, by a ma jority of 105 votes against 10. This concluded the business of the Session. On Friday all the Members of the two Chambers in Paris assem bled, when the Chambers were prorogued by a Royal Ordinance. Not only M. de Saint John, the English Consul General at Algiers, accredited to the Dey at the time of the conquest, but the English Consuls or Consular Agents in the several towns on the coast, most of whom have entered on the office since our occupation, continue to exercise their official functions withou having obtained, or even asked for, the exequatur of the Go vernment. How then can we credit promises to retain a con quest which we cannot get our allies to acknowledge or respect ? —La Gazette de France. • The Courrier du Bas Rhin, a Strasburg Journal, says. " The German Journals repeat for some days past, with what view we do not know, that the French Gosernment are concentrating a force of forty thousand men about Stras burg. This assertion is entirely destitute . of foundation ; there is no extraordinary movements of troops in Alsace, and the garrisons of our fortresses are not more numerous than they were a year ago. We are assured that Switzerland is negoti ating with France to remove and forward its Dutch corres. pondence by way of Luneville, the postage charged in Ger many through which this correspondence now passes being exorbitant. It is sometimes said Ministers might have done more. They might, but then they must have been bettersup - ported. Had they attempted more, with the power and co-operation they possessed, they would have certainly effected less. Much of what has been done, has been done by concessions, by a sacrifice of their own better sentiments. The default, in truth, has not been in them, but—for we must speak out—in the apathy . and divisions of the people, which emboldened the Conserva tives to defeat or mutilate the most efficient Ministerial schemes.la- dhintdbeT e o ver, is undoubted—if the have in al One however, is hateful spirit.w o would d A h u a ve elector done must less , t a h s at en reluctant etlhititnl a : does n o t p erce i ve that ifai herr v h e av a a t ea t u h s i e s f c u o r n d c i l s u s s a i t o i n sf — az be blind w h o d oes not h on e with th e present Administ • ration, he is likely to have still greater with the candidates for their places.

As to the principle on which the Ministerial budget is based, it is not easy to conceive one more just, apt, and judicious--more consonant to sound economical science— more generally beneficial—less oppressive to the people—and more likely to relieve the pressure which has long weighed on national industry. It is not sought to increase public taxes, but to make the wants of the Exchequer subservient to mercantile reform —to the removal of a great legislative reproach—a monstrous injustice, long perpetrated by the landed aris tocracy on every man, woman, and child in the kingdom. The objects sought are twofold—to give cheaper bread to the poor, and open a wider field to manufacturing skill and commercial enterprise. Against this policy the Tories are arrayed—prefer high rents for themselves to cheap food for the people—monopoly to free trade—an unemployed and starving community to a busy and well fed population. , _ • Mr. BOND CABBELL, who, we presume, must be very rich, by his anxiety to get into Parlia ment through such a borough as St. Alban's, in default of any legislative claims to represent the The Andromede frigate, which is preparing to quit Toulon for the Levant, is the thirdl vessel of that class lately ordered to those seas.

MELANCHOLY AND AEFECTING.—A man named Durand, of Juvisy, a contractor for carrying stone to face part of the Paris fortifications, sent off the morning before last several loads, and after a time followed them, accompanied by his only child, a boy, 9 years old. 'l hey were proceedis.g on the way, when the ears of Durand were assailed by a piercing cry. and he found his son under the wheel of one of the cart, which was still resting upon it, the horses having stopped. M. Du rand had sufficient resolution to back the vehicle, and, as soon as the poor boy was relieved from its weight, he sprung up with a dying effort, threw himself into hii father's arms, exclaiming Kiss me, father, for 1 am tilled !" and instantly expired. M. Gamier Pages, so long known as one of the leaders of the Extreme Gauche in the Chamber of Deputies, died on Wednesday evening at seven o'clock. He had been suffering for some time under a phthisical complaint, which left his friends but little hope. M. Gamier Pages was little more than 40 years of age ; he sat for the departmentof the arthe, and was much respected even by his political opponents. The children of ill. Begis, a farmer, at C,ierecroy, near Nogent-sur-Seine, a few days ago were about to convert an old chest, which had many years stood useless in the yard, into a rabbit hutch, when on pulling off a thick cloth with which it was covered, a rouleau fell out. Believing it to be a cartridge they put it aside, with the intention of converting it into squibs and crackers. Immediately afterwards another roolean tumbled out, and as its shape was irregular the children's curiosity was excited. They therefore opened it, and found fifty gold pieces, among which were several of 4t f. each, or double Louis d'or, of the reigns of Louis XHI. and Louis XIV. The first rouleau contained fifty single Louis. The chest had been bought in 1514 of a broker at Nugent. The French, Flemish, and Italian collections of pictures in the Grand Gallery of the Louvre will be re-opened on Tues day next. The Minister of Public Instruction has just received from M. Mynas, who is charged with a scientific mission in Greece, two marble bas-reliefs of fine workmanship : one represents a man seated, offering an apple to a female; the other, a hunter on horseback, piercing a wild boar. Orders have been given for placing these relics of Greek art in the Louvre. 1%.1. Murat, brother of the ex-King of Naples, died a few days ago at La Bastide, in the Lot, after a long and painful ill ness. He was . devoid of ambili• n, and while King Joachim was surrounded with all the splendour of Royalty , contented himself with the hu m bl e honours of player of his village, =- firming till the end of his life to occupy himself in actions of charity, and in promoting the welfare of all around him.

CATTUILE of " GAVIN SCOTT" AT MA asmuts. —The police authorities of Paris this morning communicated to Mr. Lawson (solicitor) of Paris, a telegraphic despatch from the Prefect of the Douches du Rhone, announcing the capture at Marseilles of Gavin Scott, for whose arrest Mr. Lawson had made application, as having absconded with the sum of 8,6001. in gold and notes belonging to his employers, who are emi ncrit cotton manufacturers in Glasgow. The delinquent was travelling wish a passport in the assumed name of " Charles Hamilton Douglas," and hope is entertained that the bulk of the stolen property will be recovered, he having been closely followed from Havre, where he landed with upwards of 4,0001. in gold in his-portmanteau, to the great surprise of the Custom house• officers. _ _ .iuprort( rs, out of existence.

PERJURED PAPISTS.—L - )rd Stanley, it appears. is angry at having had the words " perjured Papists" at tributed to him, he having, as he says, ne ver uttered them. The Noble Lord, however , has brought in a Bill to disfranchise the Papists, which is founded on no better reason than the assertion of the Orangemen that the Papists are perjurers. He embraces the doctrine, therefore, he endeavours to profit by it, he turns it to a po litical account, and yet, because he may net have used the word,. he seeks to obtain credit for not believing it. The best criterion of a man's belief, according to our • metaphysics, is his actions, and on this principle we must beg leave to assert that Lord Stanley's anxiety to shake ' off , the responsibility of these words, proves that he is mean as well as vituperative. We did not before believe that he was cowardly, like all ill-natured malif nant. people; but we must now add that low and s lil4og vice, to make up his character. Why should the_ man who brands the Papists as perjurers by his actions, un less he be mean and cowardly, be anxious to make the world sensible that he never called therri so? ASTLEY'S THEATRE.—It appears from an advertise ment in another part of the paper, that upwards of 300 persons have been thrown out of employment by the destruction of this favourite place of amusement, and that a subscription has been commenced to furnish some relief for them till the house is rebuilt. It is highly honourable to men connected with the stage that they have subscribed so generously on the occasion. Several of them have given ten guineas each, some five ; one house; the Strand Theatre, has paid in 19/. lls. to the , Committee ; and Mr. Anderson gave a benefit for them at the Adelphi, which produced 301. The first bankers in town have offered to receive subscriptions, and we confidently trust, from such a good beginning, that a company which has afforded so much gratification both to old and young will meet with liberal support during their present distress.

There is nothing but politics talked or thou;ht of in the City to-day, and the electioneering squibs are unusually spirited. One street-crier announces a grand ball at Newgate, for the benefit of the Conservatives, which is to be so fully attended that he has only four tickets left, and these he leaves us to infer are reserved for the City candidates. The opposition party have two dulls chained in a cage, as the representatives of the Sheriffs, but say nothing about Tory votes having helped to put them there. As to the Guildhali, it hai not quite the same brilliant appearance as on the occasion of her Majesty's visit, being literally plastered with electioneering bills and pictures. Amidst the din of party strife, it gives us pleasure to advert to the improved position of the Bank of England, whose stock of bullion has increased by 177,00 CL This will be of service in paying the July dividends.

How TO GAIN FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS.— Any person who has received a bribe may get a third party to tprosecute the briber, himself give evidence against his corrupter, and not himself be exempt from all penalties, but share with his friend the penalty of 500/. The individual bribed will, of course, only proceed against such persons as can pay the penalty on conviction, the whole of which the law awards to the prosecutor. The cases in which' such prosecutions can be instituted are these :—First, where money has been paid down for a vote ; secondly, where a promise is made that a certain sum shall be paid for a vote ; thirdly, where a situation, a receipt in full for a debt, the settlement of an action, a long, price for a cabbage, cat, canary bird, &c., or any such inducement to vote on the side the voter would not have voted on without such inducement ; and, fourthly, where any such inducement is given or promised not to vote for a particular candidate, or not to vote at all. The briber is, therefore, completely, at the mercy of the bribes. It is true that the proceeding would not be very creditable to the party, but it is not a whit worse than the selling of the vote, and he that has bartered his conscience for the paltry sum of 51. or 101. will hardly scruple at such a peccadillo when the prize in view is 500/. On Saturday afternoon, an iron steam dredging vessel was launched from the works of Messrs. J. B. Maxton and Co. engineers, Leith. The vessel is th e first iron one that has been built in the Forth ; she is about 200 tens measurement, and is intended for deepen ing Dundalk Harbour, under the management of the Dundalk Harbour Commissioners. The vessel does _great credit to MeSsrs. Maxton, the contractors. She was named the" Victoria, of Dundalk," in honour of \ our gracious Sovereign.—Edinburgh Courant. ILFRACOMBE, JUNE 22.—We understand that a petition from this town will be presented to the new Parlia ment for the suspension of cash payments, and for the preven tion of the importation of gold and silver, on the ground that the mines are worked by means of slave labour. Sir Robert Peel will be requested to present the petition. .A SAGACIOUS ELECTOR.—A patriotic can didate, 'Who offered himself as the representative of a Kentish borough, told a yeoman to whom he applied, that, if he were returned Member, he would use his in fluence to turn out the Ministry. " Will you ?" replied the yeoman ; " then I promise you shall not have my vote ; for I am not for changing them, be they good or had. I know well enough how it is with my hogs ; when I buy them lean, they eat more than they are worth; but when they have once grown a little fat, the feeding them is not half so expensive. So I am for keeping the present set; a new herd would devour more." THE BOROUGH ELECTION. —It affords us the highest gratification to state that the canvass in behalf of the free-trade candidates for the representation of this borough, has hitherto been of the most satisfactory de scription, and that numerous promises of support have been received in quarters *Om which support was least expected. With energy, industry, perseverance; and, above all, with perfect unanimity, the anti-monopolists have it in their power —notwithstanding all the vaunt ings of the monopolists end their organs—to carry both their candidates.—Liverpeollliercury.

Malta Papers received this morning announce the arrival at that island on the 12th, of Admiral Sir W. PARKER and Sir H. POTTINGER, by the Great Liverpool, which re-sailed with them on the following day for Alexandria. Admiral Sir ROBERT STOPPORD was to sail for England on the 19th. The Right Hon. J. S. MACKENZIE, Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, arrived at Corfu from Alexandria on the Bth inst. From Constantinople and Alexandria we have advices of the 7 th instant respectively. On the 4th, a copy of the new Imperial firman reached MEHEMET Am. He is reported to have appeared tolerably well pleased with it. • He only objected to the amount of tribute as too exorbitant, and to the article respecting the hereditary succession as too vague. These objections have been anticipated by us in commenting, in Tie Sun of Thurs day last, on the revised Imperial firman. The virulence of the plague was abating in Egypt. On the sth inst. Count MEDEM, the Russian Minister to the Court of Persia, left Constantinople for St. Pe tersburgh. On the same day a Turkish frigate, a brig, and a corvette, with some troops and military stores on board, sailed for Candia to co-operate with the block ading sluadron. The Candiote insurgents evinced no disposition to yield. The latest advices from Persia are to the 29th April. Colonel STODDART had then been set at liberty at Bokhara, and Dr. RIACH having seen the fortress of Gorian evacuated by the Persians, had returned to Meshid on his•way to Teheran. In the present state of our affairs in the East, it is important to restore as early as possible our amicable relations with Persia. Advices from Madrid, of the 18th and 19th inst. re spectively, have reached us. The former day being the anni;ersary of the promulgation of the Constitution, the Bourse remained closed. There is no lack of idle days in Spain. A commercial country with half such a num ber of Saints' darts and political commemorations, would be ruined in one year. The furnaces would produce no thing, for hardly would they be heated before some Saint would make interest with the Pope to grant a plenary in dulgence for cooling them. The Catholic is essentially a pastoral and agricultural religion ; the Protestant, on the other hand, is a manufacturing and commer cial creed. Cows will graze, and corn will grow, whether the agriculturist toil or •repeat hi; pater fosters; but the loom stands still without the weaver, and while the trader is at his devotions or his diversions, there can be no interchange of commodities. The Commission appointed to examine the question ' of the QUEEN'S guardianship presented the following Report to the Cortes : . 6 The Commission declares that the post of guardian to her Majesty and her august sister being vacant, and that circum stance falling within the provisions of article 60 of the Con stitution, the Curies now decide : " Ist. That the discussion is opened on the declaration that the post of guardian is vacant, until the Chamber pro nounce that discussion to be at an end; and 2d. That things having thus taken place the Government advise, conformably to the law of July 19, 1837, and to the bases adopted by the two Legislative Chambers, on the Regency question to assemble the Cortes, in order to name the said guardian to her Majesty and her august sister. • It is said that ESPARTERO is favourable to the appoint ment of three guardians, and that he wishes the Infant FRANCISCO DE PAULO to be one of them. He has re plied to the PRINCE'S address of congratulation on his appointment to the Regency. GREAT DEMONSTRATION AT BRIGHTON. (FROIL OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) BRIGHTON, Ju NE 25.—The result of the public meeting held in the Town Hall yesterday, is highly favourable to the Liberal cause. The ob ject of this meeting was to prevent the wanton expenditure of the . Tories in reference to parish affairs, and the meting naturally, in the present excited state of. the borough, took a political tone. Allowing for the peculiar bias of the feelings of the Chartists, the sacrifices they have made to agree with the more gradual Reform ers, are such as do them the greatest credit; and the Liberals have come forward in such numbers and energy as completely to paralyse the miser able attempts of the Tory party; and the two . combined have at one meeting placed beyond refutation that the town of Brighton is in the inehnendent position it ever ought to hold. All the Liberal resolutions were carried, and the Tories and Monopolists, not daring to show their faces, are at once consigned to the most humili ating but proper position. Capt. Pechell and Mr. Isaac N. Wigney are eminently entitled to the support of the constituency of Brighton, and this support they have obtained and will continue to deserve. The latter gentleman is the well-known opulent banker here. He has ever been a resi dent in Brighton, where he has won the regard of even his opponents by his liberal character, — a character liberal. in the fullest acceptation of the term. Mr. Wigney possesses a very large and wealthy family connection, who, from the position they hold, and their kindliness a disposition, are deservedly respected throughout the borough, the interests and prosperity of which they are ever watchful of. Although Mr. Wijney's return is next to a certainty, it still behoves his Committee to be upon the alert, while the most cor rupt trickery is in progress to make the wrong appear the better reason. The constituency of Brighton possess too high a character for probity to allow themselves to become the tools of some few politically-intriguing dowagers, urged on by the rabid faction of the Carlton Club; and although Tory intimidation has been most unsparingly used, its use has but aroused the honest and conscientious inhabitants of the borough to additional .exertions in the cause of those who are with them hand and heart. The services which Captain Pechell has already ren dered his constituents are such as call imperatively for the support of this straight-forward and gal lant.naval officer. ANTI-CORN-LAW TEA PARTY. Yesterday evening, upwards of 800 persons assembled at an Anti-Corn-law tea party at Manchester. The chair was taken by Mr. CREWDSON, a member of the Society of Friends ; and the meeting was ad dressed in very eloqueht terms by Mr. G. Thompson, the lecturer againat slavery ; by Dr. Bowring, Mr. Brofrherton, Mr. M. Phillips, and several other in fluential gentlemen. A considerable number of ladies were present. The room was decorated with banners bearing appropriate mottos, texts from Scripture, quota tions from the Prayer-book, &c. The meeting was en thusiastic in the good cause. TORY DiscnEPexciEs.—We quoted, the day before yesterday, a sentence from the Times, affirming that Legis lative measures cannot provide full employment and cheap load for the people. Every sensible person knows that the people must do that for themselves ; and all that they require of the State, is to protect them while they do it. How a parchment regulation; made by the ignorant noodles who assemble at Westminster, and still more the ignorant gentlemen who assembled there years or ages ago—can provide food and employ ment for the very hard-working people, would puzzle any Tory to explain. Nevertheless, the great leader of Toryism, who does the malignant politics for the Quar terly Review, lays it down positively that it is the duty of the State to provide for the subsistence of the people. What humbug ! J ust conce i ve , gentle reader, her ilia jesty the Queen, w i t h a ll t h e pink-gloved dandies, male and female, who haunt the Court—all the curly-headed, tight-braced gentlemen,—gentlemen in long white hose, of the Upper and of the Lower House, who constitute the State, providing th e su b s i stence of the horny-handed ar tizans and ploughmen of England ! Fudge I fudge ! fudge ! The fact is, that the horny-handed tribe pro vide for the subsistence of the State, as the taxes show, and provide for the subsistence of all the lords and ladies ; which they would not care much to do, if the lords and ladies would only allow them, at the same time, to subsist themselves. But the curse of the matter is, that the State, which is so generously subsisted by the horny hands, insists in return,. instead of being grateful and generous for opulence and ease, on actually starving the horny hands, their great benefactors and CoURT CIRCULAR.

PARIS, JUNE 23.—1 stated to you briefly yesterday, that tilt Court of Correctional Police was engaged in the investigation of an affair deeply interesting to all British parents and guar dians, who, from whatever motive, send their children for education to France. Of that case the following are the lead ing features : Some few years since, the guardian of a young English girl of respectable family intrusted her to the care of a Mrs. Bre reton, an Englishwoman, then tesiding at, or about to proceed to, Boulogne- sur , Mer—(a c:ty lik-ly to derive much cele brity from the manner in which scholastic matters are con ducted within it). Airs. 13rereton had a married daughter_ Airs. or Madame Lusignan. After a brief residence in Bou logne, the family came to reside in Paris, whither they brought the young person . . . now aged about 15 years, and a still younger girl, named . . . . (now 12 years old). r Soon after their arrival in Paris, Madame Lusignan made the acquaintance, and became the there ami of a Baron St. Haouin, late a Captain in a French regiment, but at present the President of the Banque Philanthropique. It was charged that the woman Lusignan brought the two chil dren confided to the care of her mother to the private apart ment of the Baron, No. 45, Rue Laffitte, and aided him in an assault upon the younger child, and in the commission of a capital offence upon the elder. Under the influence of Madame Lusignan, or her mother, the poor children concealed for some time their sad tale, but it came out at length, and on an in quiry into it the elder girl, at the pressing entreaty, as she swore, of Mrs. Brereton, denied the truth of her previous allegation. The younger child never for a moment departed from the statement she had made. The matter, however, reached the ears of the Secretary and some supporters of the British Orphan Institution in Paris. They immediately communicated with the guardian of the elder girl, who promptly came forward, and in consequence a judicial inquiry into the affair was instituted. Nothing could exceed the indignation of the Attorney-General, to whom the inquiry was delegated, on, hearing the evidence; afid nothing could go beyond the earnestness with which he entered upon it e no: his d,etermin•ation to probe the subject to the bottom, and to prosecute with the utmost rigour should there appear ground for it. A technical or formal proceeding had, how ever, been neglected, to which it is not possible to allude here, so that corroborative proof of the outrage committed on the elder child was wanting. The case, therefore, instead of becoming one for the consideration of the Cour d'Assize and a jury, resolved itself into a misdemeanor. The cause came on, as I have already said, before the Seventh Chamber of Correctional Police vest: rday. The pro secution was conducted by the Procureur de Roi (substitute of the Attorney-General). Counsel was retained by the friends of the victims, end other advocates a; peered for the accused. The nature of the evidence to be given induced the presiding, magistrates to order that the court be cleared. The few facts with which I am, therefore, about to trouble you have been communicated to me by an ear-witness, on whose statement I am sure you may implic►tly rely. After an animated and eloquent speech from the Procureur do Roi, which lasted during ae hour and a quarter, and in which he dwelt upon the enormity of the guilt charged upon the accused (Madame de Lusignan and the Baron Saint Haouin), both present, the children deposed to all the circum stances of the assaults committed upon them, and varied nut from their statements in their respective cross-examinations. A young English medical man was then produced, who received' a severe reprimand from the Court for having presumed, with out authority, to enter upon an examination in support of the capital charge made by the unhappy victim. The Couna•el Madame Lusignan then rose, and in a long speech sought tr extenuate the conduct of his client, whose liaison with thy• Baron Saint Haouin, he treated with great lightness, and a a natural consequence of her marriage with an Englishman, ?chose proverbial neglect of their wives was so well known. "Englishmen," said the • Learned Gentleman, " treat their wives only as they do their horses." Her pre ference, therefore, of a Frenchman of so distingue an appear ance as the Baron, was, therefore, pardonable, if not justifi able !" The Baron's lawyer sought not to deny but to miti gate the charge brought against him, trusting that in decid ing upon it the Court would take, into consideration " the state of morals of the present time," and regard with indul gence " an old soldier (35 years of age), brought up, not in the observances of private life, but amid the licentiousnes of camps." Tile Court, having deliberated, delivered its judgments, ac quitting the Baron, but pronouncing the woman Lusignan guilty, and sentencing her to imprisonment for one year, to a tine of 100 f., to deprivation of civil rights for two }ears, and to payment of all costs. 1 have thus, I trust it will be deemed, stated the facts of this horrible case with extreme moderation. In giving than at all I have not suffered myself to be influenced by the feelings which even in this modified form, they are calculated to suggest, and have, in fact, been only prevailed upon to submit them to you for publication, in the hope that they will induce caution on the part of such English parents. relatives, or guardians, who shalt; after having read them, persist in their determina tion to send their children here for education. Having spoken of the guilty, I may add a compliment to par ties, whose conduct in this matter redounds highly to their credit—l mean the Attorney-General and the English gentle men connected with the British orphan schools.—Correspondent of the Times. ACCIDENT TO TILE WIDOW OF DR. BA - BINGTON.—Th:s lady is not expected to recover from the effects of the fillowing shocking accident which befel her a few days a2o :—She had beckoned a cab opposite to the Pantheon, in Oxford-s'ree', but the driver not observing her, she stepped over the road towards the cab, when one of the Paddington cmniba:ses came along, and as the unfortunate lady was retracing her steps to the foot pavement, she was knocked down by the horses, and before the driver could pull up, the wheels passed over her left arm and leg. She was instantly carried into the shop of Mr. Bell, chemist, and from thence in a chair to her res;denre, No. 31, Gearge-street, Ilanover-square, where she was promptly attended by her son, Dr. Bahington, Sir Benjamin Brodie,-and' other gentlamen. The lady's left leg - was shockingly crushed, and her left arm broken in several places.

At the beginning of the last term there were in the new trial paper for argument 189 cases; there have been disposed of 104, leaving for argument only 85, being about 60 less than at the corresponding period of 1840, and nearly 80 less than in 1839. It thus appears that the Act of Parliament for additional sittings, aided by the unwea ried efforts of the Judges, has at length very materially reduced the great arrear of new trials which has for more than ten years pressed so heavily on the suitors of this Court.

Your Friend. London, June 26, 1841. ROBERT OW -D • are those u FRENCH FINANCES. CHAMBER OF PEERS. SITTING OF JUNE 23. The Chair was taken at two o'clock, by the Du ke de fiteglie? one of the Vice-Presidents. The Order of the Day was the discussion of the Budget of Receipts for 1842. M. Humann, Minister of Finance, addressed the Ch,ac.blubeesc; He said the Government participated in the regret h i o the often expressed by it at the late period of the diseussi ee e a bi - Budget, and he begged to assure the Chamber that the,ool,, ns t had done all in its power not to deserve t his rep 04 Nothing could be more distant from its views than eel to prevent the exercise of the prerogative of con trol po ov a by the Peers. In order that the Chamber might 00t he ore by sur k rise, he had presented the Budget in a ul ue earls • le summary form than was Usual, and by thee c oo had enabled the Committee to examine it wi'•" e pole before the discussion should come on. As they Ftrsetae about to discuss the budget of receipts, he would .°" e nd t° explanations, which were alike due to the Chain he, r s hoo' himself. The Minister here entered into long &taus , for ing the state of the public finances ; they were, howel?bael the greater part, a repetition of the expose whiela he made in the other Chamber. He added, that he h a ii e je o to beliei:e the receipts would exceed the estimates. f t oo/ five mcnths of the present year presented a sueehi s o f 16.5 9 f millions and a half over the corresponding months t'e 0 40. and nearly six millions over the corresponding month' e ` If this favourable state of things should continue, as I , le ot e for it would, as the year promised to be prosperous LL„10 agriculture and trade, there would be a considerableXV beyond the estimated sum at the end of the year - e e e ven ts nothing to raise a doubt in his mind, unless unexpeet'ilibyo should occur as to the possibility of establishing an eq u of th e in the budget of 1843, iswithout weakening the resource! _ e vict State. The desire of the Government was to deserve Ow 4 . 1 1,,d0 will of the nation by strict economy in the use of tbe e e ti i t e which were entrusted to its care. Alluding to the ..efai.sh which were requisite to enable the Ministry to es s ad an equilibrium between receipts and expea dit l A i against which an outcry had been set up, mann said that the Committee on the 13ucige• a" con e' appi eciated the just and equitable character of the sl oe which he had adopted as to a general census , la y eel triumphantly that the object, so far from being to lay „etieg taxation, was to apportion fairly the burthen * of th e C .. ee re taxes. He felt it right to inform the Chamber that din that -110,900 houses on which no taxes were imposed, sad (14 several thousands of persons liable to the pate? e i n c e 0 5. not pay that tax. Was it fair that this exception, 0 , 01 0 be,: a hardship upon those who paid the patents tax, should al:owed to continue ? He thought not. On the his circular, which had been complained of as if it 566' iti great crime, M. Humann said he was prepared to ja bo t in every respect, for its object was to do justice to 3 11 ,110 0 concerned. , The Minister here read the circular, well' simply recommends to the Prefects to use the greatet ogee' taking an equitable census, so as to permit an ecla il l a l e cc"; tion of taxation according to the means of all. but tended that this circular was not only strictly leg al, athi e ' it a'so tended to a fair and equal mode of taxation , aneto th that, so far from his having laid himself on eii charge which had been so unfairly brought agaiust b•! , ', bee had been more mild in his orders, as to the eees g ' 9 „Tbe el predecessors on similar occasions. For instance, 5 , 6 "",1 asked whether the gates cf avenues were to be ta: ( e'''' c aw' de Villele had replied, yes. Ile replied no. theitilanes, merated many other objects, such as small fixed jou bt the doors, outhouses, &n., on which there bad beq i e - t eseb e as to whether they ought to be taxed or not, and sa l ' eu ld had invariably . given instructions that no attemp t see Fe made to strain the law to the prejudice of the ! d x ,; t es a t ; The Minister then said, that having replied to i ris ' a tacks, which enlightened arid honourable men w e .: eerwe e how to appreciate, he would admit that there ece'ecetteia',' portions of the law as regarded tax-payers, wili c , h e e p•ir, v might be more equitable than they were. He allude:{ eularly to the door and window-tax, observing tb 3t • ise l ' e rior situations, where property was oh comparatieeeYopere vale°, the tax was the same as in situations whe re Picea , had a high value. The tax was the same in the "ter i ee itaie e lard, for instance, as in the Rue de Riven, la ii, ls .i ce tie s ' this mode of levying the tax ought to undergo Ti' ° " l Af ter and it should be reulated by the value of the lious e ' n , col; some general observations on the census, M. n n ' a rese h e,e eluded by saying that if a portion of the publc , 1. )- 1 , attempted to misrepresent his conduct ado his int ent ge i' le r i n tax-payers themselves would allow that ensus wa s ' cr eese sable, and that it was not the forerunner of any taxation, as they had been led to believe. Alter a few observations by the Count de Aloshourg °n th,.titee4 Budget of receipts, in so low a tone that he wa s a t eve" scarcely audible, the sitting was adjourned at half-Iss Galignani's Messenger.
