Sir B. HALL then addressed the meeting. He said that he had been desirous that his Gallant Friend, should address the meeting first, in order that it should be made more manifest that their co-operation was sincere and zealous.—(Cheers.) In referring to his own past con duct, he was obliged to say that in his attention to the interests of the whole people of the United Kingdom, he had not neglected the local interests of the borough, which he had the honour to represent. "When he was a candidate for Monmouth, he refused to pledge himself for the Reform Bill, under the terms of the " Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," for he was one of those who thought that a further extension of the fran chise should be given,_ that the vote should be pr o t ec t e d by the Ballot, and that the duration of Parliaments should be shortened.—(Cheers.) He was still most anxious that amendments should be made in the Reform Bill, and that those clauses which crippled the franchise, such as the rate-payiug clause, should be repealed.— (Cheers.) He had been mainly instrumental in effecting the rejection of a Bill introduced into Parliament for the purpose of destroying the local rights of the inhabitants of this borough; for this he had been honoured with the hostility of the Tories, and had been bitterly assailed in the public newspapers. He never replied to newspaper attacks, but he relied upon his late consti tuency to give a practical answer at the hustings._ (Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman then referred to his votes in Parliament upon all questions, in which the in terests of his constituents, or of the nation at large, were involved, and happily contrasted his own conduct in respect to the Poor-law Bill, with that of Lord Tcign mouth, who had pledged himself publicly to vote for the total repeal Of that Bill and who nevertheless voted for the continuance of the most obnoxious clauses. The Hon. Baronet then repeated the observations which we yesterday reported on the speech of her Majesty to Par liament at the prorogation, in the course of which he was londly and vehemently cheered. He concluded by urging the electors present to come early to the poll on this day week. The room, which holds conveniently not more than 200 or 300 persons, had become by this time most in conveniently crowded, and a • very large assemblage in front of the tavern called violently for an adjournment to the open' air. The CHAIRMAN said it .was quite evident that the Gallant Commodore, who was about to address the meeting, could not be satisfactorily heard in the pre. cut crowded state orther room, and as he understo o d t h at there was collected in the street before ,tl):; nousc a very large body of electors, for whom "rio space could be found.within doors, he (Mr. Dr:Lawton) would s n uggestthat the electors in the 1 . 00 1 31 should adjourn to the space in front, and that Sir C. I`. l- ,apier should address the meet ing from the wind o w, • The proposition was adopted by acclamation, and -at , - cordingl:i Si!: C. NAPIER, presented himself at the window, when he was received with cheers and hurrahs by the vast crowd below, accompanied by applause and waiving of - handkerchiefs from the ladies who thronged the bal conies and windows on each side, anxious to see and to honour the Nelson or the Day. The Gallant Commo dore-then repeated, amidst the usual demonstrations of admiration and assent, his former declarations of politi cal principle, and avowed his concurrence with the senti ments just expressed by his Hon.-Friend, of whom he had no doubt he would very soon be the colleague in the representation of this b)rough.—(Cheers.) He begged to call the attention of the meeting to a notice which Mr. Young had in the handsomest manner publicly ad dressed to the electors of the borough,—(Cheers.) It was as follows • "TO THE_ELECTORS OF MARYLEBONE. " Gentlemen,—The ballot between Sir C. Napier and myself having terminated ill favour of that gentleman, I have, according to the agreement entered into by our Committees, ceased to boat candidate for your suffrages. I cannot, however, withdraw without expressing my sin cere gratitude to tilt 945 Reformers who balloted for me, not in a struggle with a political opponent, but in a friendly contest with a Reformer, supported by the whole strength of the Liberal press, and still more strongly recommended by his achievements in a service of v.hich he is so distinguished a member. I hope my friends will now cheerfully submit to the decision of their brother Reformers, and remembering only that there is a common enemy to defeat, give to Sir C. Napier and Sir Benjamin Hall all the support in their power. " I remain, gentlemen, " Your obliged and faithful servant, " G. A. YOUNG. " Upper Portland-place, June 21." (Cheers.) To this he had to add, that a meeting of Mr. Young's friends was held on the preceding night, when Mr. Duffill moved, and Mr. Frampton seconded, a reso lution which was agreed to, pledging the electors pre sent to support him (Sir C. Napier) and Sir R (Great cheering.) He would not detain the Meeting, be cause his Hon. Friend, (Sir B. Two Alia he had two other meetings to attend in the borough that evening. . In answer to a question from an elector, Sir C. NAPIER said that if he had been in l'nrliament when the motion was brought forward for the release of the political prisoners, he would no doubt have voted on the Liberal side, because he was opposed to all persecu tion on account of political opinions.—(Cheers.) Sir B.

Fellow Electors,—Allow me, through the medium of the public press, to congratulate you on that union of purpose t►tid determination which happily prevails amongst all real Reformers, in this very important metro politan borough. It was feared, at one time, that your strength would be enfeebled by the introduction of two Reform candi dates, in addition to Sir Benjamin Hall, but, through the honourable arrangements between Mr. Young and Sir Charles Napier, and assented to by the general body of Liberals, that apprehension no longer exists. • Mr. Young, in the fulfilment of his promise, declared in the most unequivocal manner, at the close of the Ballot at the Colosseum, last Wednesday, the 6th inst., that he would not only retire from the contest, but would give his whole support to Sir Charles Napier, and use his best endeavours with his friends to enlist them in the same cause. I need only mention, that with a view to tifget this object he has published a circular, and also a letter in The Sun newspaper. Brother Reformers—lt now remains with you to prove that union is strength, banishing from your minds all minor differences and private feelings, and with one grand consentaneous and determined effort, rescue the Borough of Marylebone from Tory domination. A LIBERAL ELECTOR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Seeing that a hand-bill distributed in Padding ton, signed by a non-elector, William Cross, has been copied into your columns, attributing to Mr. Cabbell the following expressions at a late meeting of his friends in that parish, "If you fear God and value your im mortal souls you will send me and Sir James Hamilton to Parliament. The Whigs and Radicals are a contempt able crew, they are impertinent fellows, I hate them as I hate the lowest depths of hell,"— as:Chairman of that meet ing, I beg to inform you that no such expressions were made use of by Mr. Cabbell at the meetink alluded to ; and that had the language attributed to him been used by him or any one else, friend or foe, I would have stopped it, or Vacated the chair. - I rely upon your sense of justice to insert the above.

Sta,--From what has within these few days past been stated in the daily papers, it would appear that the Chartists of Bath had waived the Charter, and joined the Whigs in the cry for " Cheap Bread and Cheap Sugar," A sweet bait, truly, but it won't suit our palates just now. Some busy bodies, em ployed, we suppose, as correspondents to these papers, have got the editora to assert in their leading articles, that we Are wil ling=judging, of course, by the steps we intend taking at the coming contest—to be content with as much as wet can get under pre'sent circumstances. Nc.w, as such an impli&ition is liable to be mimonstrued by, and thence to create and strife among, our Chartist brethren, we beg to declare to them and to the world that we shall not be content with anything less than. the Charter, that the cry fur cheap bread and cheap. auger has not deluded us ; but that the Whigs of Bath h ave • pledged themselves to vote for our man in case we will vote' for their's, on this ground they have united with us, and on this ground we intend to go with them. We are friends to no party hostile to cheap and responsible Government. Our present object is to benefit the people, not to sacrifice them. In Bath we are strong, and we wish to employ our power usefuly. Let no man meddle with our business, who is un acquainted with the circumstances in which we are placed. There shall be no compromise of principle, no wavering from the Charter, on our part. The daily papers that were pleased to make remarks on the conduct of the Bath Chartists should have published their address, and allowed it to answer for itself. The Editor of The Sun is earnestly requested to give th's letter early insertion, as the undersigned wish, though busy in aiding the return of John Arthur Roebuck and Lord Dun can, to save themselves from all charges of inconsistency. C. CLARK,' G. M. BARTLETT. LITERATURE. THE PRESENT STATE OF THE CONTRO VERSY BETWEEN THE PROTESTANT AND ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCHES. By Hunter Gordon, Esq., of Lincoln's Inn. Second Edition, dedicated to the Cardinal Archbishop of Malines. This edition contains an original dedication to the Cardinal Archbishop of Malines, extending to 20 pp., in which Mr. Gordon lays before his Eminence a sketch of the temper andiactual po sition of religious factions in this co9itry, espe cially of the Anti-Catholic fanatics, tug a view of the situation and prospects of the Catholic cause in the United Parliament. The fifflowing extracts speak for themselves : t When the :honourable, and learned gentleman, to whom here every Catholic bosom swells with gratitude, and whose nervous eloquence, like the harp of Tara, strikes both the sorrows and the wrongs of his country, when Mr. O'Connell struck the shackles from the galled body of Ireland, and the sores and bruises of two centu ries were exposed to the view, we hoped for a little in. terval of lenient councils, a short suspense of the ribald invective which her foes had never ceased from pouring on them, like a caustic poison, burning and ulcerating the imposthumation of former wounds. All men of sense, how little soever informed, expected that at least the present generation of Catholics, some of them nursed in civil war, and all bearing on them the marks of their re cent fetters, would be permitted to enter, without dis turbance, on the enjoyment of those rights which their inveterate enemies had yielded to them, and which the law of the land h a d a t l eng th vouchsafed to them. 13ut scarce had their chains fallen, when their adversaries of the rival hierarchy, aided by their lay disciples, raised the cry of vituperation with more fierceness and malig nity than in any former period. Those who took their seats in the Legislature, found themselves vilified, and their country, their religion, and even their manners held up to ridicule, and made the prey of the lowest and most vulgar prejudices. And such was the desire of these men to prolong the discord and enmity of religious opinion. which had so long filled Ireland with violence and blood, that a new Protestant agitation succeeded to the former Catholic agitation of Ireland, for the express purpose of awakening the animosities which eondtt . .titilig had allayed, or at least much assuaged, and even of propagating in England the same fury and intolerance which had long run uncontrolled on the other side of the Channel, "My Lord, your mixed chamber of Representatives, either during your union with Holland, or. since the se paration, can give you no idea of the circumstances under which the accession of the Catholics to tho United Par liament took place, or of the difficulties which they have had to encounter. The Catholic Relief 11111, for the first time, admitted the Irish nation to the rights which the English had enjoyed for many centuries 1 and that peo ple, finding their constitutional history at length begun, were eager to taste the blessings from which they had been excluded. During their long proscription, their wrongs had accumulated to a frightful height.

Such it found in O'Con nell. his influence, derived originally from the griefs of his country, and supported by that organisation which the Catholic Chureh can always supply, as well as by his own great talents, reached its ascendant a mainly through his unshaken attachment to the Catholic cause, and that uncorruptible fidelity with which he adhered to it, re gardless of private advantages. Those who chargcd him with ambition, knew that a great part of his life hod been one continued defiance of thoSe allurements by which, of all men, popular leaders are the most easily seduced. Those who imputed sordid motives to him, knew not, or affected not to know, that he had relinquished profes sional emoluments sufficient to satisfy the ambition of any man. The baleful calumnies of the press, flung by lite rary mercenaries and Orange partisans, more easily re coiled from him ; and while he still opposed the rage of vulgar fanaticism and bigotry, he had less to fear from personal aspersions than from the unreasonable, but on that account the implacable, enmity which here prevails against the cause of which he is the champion. " How this obsolete root of prejudice supports its own vitality, and in what manner it feeds the virulence of re ligious faction, this is tint the place to inquire." THE LASTItiSraOF ULSTER. 3 ;tole. Madden, London, 1841. The author of this historical Irish tale tells us, in his introduction, that he is a British officer who fought through the Peninsular campaign, and being seriously Wounded at the battle of Sa , laznanra, was conveyed by the humanity of his countrymen into the city, where he was lodged in one of the cells of the Ifigh CAW, Here, when WilS guillelently recovered from the &nets of his wound, he was permitted by. the worthy father of the establiShniOnt to sp@nd his leisure in their library, and " gratify his taste by searching through the Irish manuscripts which it contained." • One of thek itiantt scripts refereed tti the celebrated Irish family VDOnnell, anti to struck the author's fancy ) that he resOlVed On thlnettilling if; ilialting such alttitatlons as were neeesary to adopt it to tie taste of the .day; and; asili,6 tkle was lost, of evil* it ,flit Utile or the Last king or tiihwr. 4 This is a hacknied mode of introducing a story, and reminds us fordiblk F4if Walter.

The author's two most successful cha racters are his hero and heroine—young O'Don nell, and his kinswoman, Cathleen, who after undergoing the usual amount of vicissitudes, are, as a matter of course, married in the last chapter of the third volume, and left in a state of supreme felicity.

Sir Robert Abercremby of Birkenbog and Forglen, Bart., was called to the chair, and in a speech of some length ex plained the object of the meeting. James Rose Innes Esq., of Netherdale, read and proposed a series of re solutions expressive of their approval of the conduct of the seven clergymen, and deprecating the conduct of the Assembly in attempting to depose them, which were unanimously agreed to. SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT SEA.-- Tuesday morning the Portuguese schooner Santa Maria arrived at Fresh-wharf, London -bridge, from St. Michael's, with fruit. On her voyage to England she encountered a severe gale of wind, during which a young man, named Juan Antonio, 22 years of age, who was in the act of furling the maintop-sail, fell from the maintop sailzyeu-d upon the deck l upwards of 40 feet, with such violence as t o fracture his leg in a shocking manner .

CONSTA NTINOPLE, MAY 27.—No city in Europe can sur pass this in the propagation or invention of false intelligence. Fabrications are as numerous as the dogs, and the action of the Government as irregular and perplexing as the pavement. The indecision and inertness of the Divan is almost infantine, and its knowledge of the value of time not less primitive. Their maxim is, never to do to-day what can be done to-mor row. Public men permit time to slip through their fingers as they do the beads of their rosaries. Their resolutions, appa rently enveloped in some unctuous substance, seem to glide from their grasp, so that there is no relying upon the execution of any measure at the appointed period—unless, indeed, the chief astrologer should urge them forward with menaces of misfortune. Then, Mashallah ! they shake off the narcotic influences of the seven sleepers, rouse them selves from their kific (a species of dolce far niente), and set to work in good earnest. The effects of these false reports, and of this irresolution and torpidity, is not only prejudicial in the extreme to their own interests, foreign and domestic, but extremely embarrassing to those " unfortu nates" who seek to communicate correct information. Thus, for instance, being aware that the long-promised firmans des tined for Alexandria, had been prepared, and being informed that they had keen actually signed and expedited, I prematurely announced the accomplishment of an event which was not des tined to be consummated for some days. In fact, the hatti-scheriff in question was already drawn up and the steamer nearly under weigh on the 19111, when it wa, discovered that some formalities had been omit ted, and that two or three important points required revision. A grand divao was therefore convened for the 21st. This Council was he n at Ritaat Pacha's country house, upon the Bosphorus. It wad attended by all the Ottoman Ministers, excepting Tahir Pachas commanding the Candian expedition, and by the Ambassador, of the four great Powers, parties to the July treaty. M. de Pdntois was not absent from any want of harmony between him and his colleagues, but from the natural consequences of the isola'cd position in which he has been temporat ily placed by the Thiers' policy. The result of the deliberations was the final correction and unanimous adoption of the different modified clauses of the hatti-scheriff. After being regaled by the Reis Effendi with a copious and splendid dinner, the Ambassadors departed, carry ing with them most positive assurances that no time should be lost in preparing and despatching the requisite firmans. Things here, however, must be done, doubly done, ere any faith can be attached to their accomplishment. By a curious invention they begin their day at sunset. This may account for their going to sleep as a prelude to business. Mehemet Ali, who is said to have spies in the very heart of the Divan, and to be perfectly well acquainted with all that passes, both in the councils of his Sovereign, and at the dif ferent legations, will not be taken by surprise. He will have had due warning of the Sultan's ultimatum, and will be pre pared for its reception. The Ludivice steamer, from Beyrout, brings disastrous news of the increase of the plague in Syria, and on l er ar rival here was subjected to a rigorous observance of the quarantine regulations in their fullest extent. At Beyrout alone the daily average of deaths is 25, and the hospitals are crowded with sick. Those receptacles for the sick are designated by the Turks as hospitals, but they are very far from deserving that name, if comfort, cleanliness, and medi cal attendance are to be considered as essentially necessary to constitute an asylum destined for the cure of disease. The so-called hospitals of the Turks are better fitted to kill than to cure ; and might, with greater regard for truth be called stables, for the sick have neither beds nor bed-clothes, but lie in straw and litter on the ground, and withal are very scantily supplied with medicines, and still more so of persons properly qualified to administer them. Our countrymen, Dr. Robert son, is unwearied in his exertions to afford 'elide and with a daring philanthropy which cannot be too much admired, enters these mansions of filth and contagion, and, regardless of the danger, does not fear to come in actual contact with those who suffer under this dire disease. Some domestic quarrels have arisen among the mountain tribes, owing, it is supposed, to the intrigues of the Emir Beschir, who wishes to recover the position from which he was deposed, through his too constant attachment to Mehemet Ali. French emissaries are also said to be very active in the Lebanon, distributing liberally bribes and promises, with a view of creating a reaction in favour of the Pacha of Egypt. Tranquillity is restored in Bulgaria. Teffick Bey, principal Under-Secretary of State to the Minister of Justice, has pro ceeded to Adrianople, where, in conjunction with Tacoul Peclia, the Moat- (General) recently appointed to the com mand of that district, he will establish a rigorous investigation into the causes of the late disturbances, and adopt every pos sible measure, compatible with the interests of the Govern ment, to prevent a renewal of the exactions that are said to have led to the outbreak. He is said to be a man of mild dis position, tempered with firmness. He is likewise empowered to discover and punish the perpetrators of the late atrocities committed by the Albanian soldiers amongst the villagers; to restore the captives, sad as far as possible to remunerate the sufferers. 'this act of justice, warmly advocated by the Ambas sadors of the Five Powers, will doubtless contribute to the pacification of the provinces. Considerable sensation has been excited here by the depo sition and disgrace of the Greek Patriarch, and of Aristarki, the Lagotheki. The downfal of these two eminent personages is attributed by some to the discovery of their being con nected with the disturbances in Candia and Bulgaria, and by others to the animosity of the Prince of Samos, who, through the instrumentality Rise Paella, grand marshal of the pa lace, has succeeded in disposing the Sultan against them. The Patriarch is a man:much esteemed by his co-religionists, who, perhaps, would not think the worse of him if he were well disposed ttr a cause which forms one of their constant dreams—the regeneration of the Greek empire. The Lago theki, a kind of legate, held:at his disposal the disttibution of all church preferments, and was the channel for all communi cations upon ecclesiastical matters between the Porte and the Patriarch. He possessed great wealth, and was supposed 19 enjoy a revenue of a million of piastres, amassed during office. He was also charge d'affaires of Prince Milosch. On Monday, the 24th, the Magicienne, Captain Michel, fired a salute in honour of her Maje,ty's birth-day, and Lord Ponsonby received all the Foreign Ministers and their secre taries, when proceeded to Therapia to compliment his Lordship. The Ministers of the Porte also sent to congratulate his Lord ship in honour of the day. The whole of the Turkish regi ments in barracks at the different stations upon the Bosphorus, being out forexercise with their artillery, added their fire to that of her Majesty's corvette. , Yesterday (the s:h of thi Turkish month Rebiul- Able, an auspicious day) the Sultan removed from his Palace at the ' Auropean Sweet Waters, to the splendid new serai of Tcheri gan, on the Bosphorus. His Imperial Majesty descended the Golden Horn in his caique, rowed by 25 watermen in their state dresses: His fairy boat, with its gilded oars meet bur nished ornaments, its canopy of crimson silk, and its light and - airy build, produced a magic effect, as it glided over the dark blue waters. As he passed, the ships of war of all nations and the shore batteries poured forth their salutes, while the crews, in their white summer dresses, were mustered upon the decks, and rent the air with their cheers. A more beautiful sight cannot be imagined, and the more so, since it is unique of its kind. The astrologers having fixed upon ten minutes before mid-day, as the most propitious moment for the Sultan's land ing, in order that he might arrive in time to say Namez (mid day prayer), care was taken that he should put his foot ashore at the precise moment —a consummation fortunately accom plished to a second. The ladies of the Harem preceded their Imperial Master in arabas, guarded by Eunuchs with drawn swords, and were all installed in readiness to greet his arrival. It is affirmed that three more of these ladies are in " that state which hourris ought to be who love their Sultan." This will increase the Imperial nursery to 10. Mr. Anderson, the indefatigable agent of the Oriental and Peninsular Steam Navigation Company, is still here, arduously engaged in carrying into effect his useful project for the estab lishment tif direct steam communication between this place and tngland. His zealous exertions have been materially aided by Lord Ponsonby, to whom the British merchants of Constantinople have addressed a letter of thanks. A complete change has taken place in the Egyptian corps diplontatique, all of whom have been replaced, with the excep- Hon of Mons. de Laurin, the Austrian Consul-Getieral. Sir Edward lifaines, now at St. Petersburgh, succeeds Colonel Hedges" Moils. de Chabot has replaced Mons..Cochelet ; and Moos. Mit& hat jest arrived from St. Petersburgh, to super sede Count Medcni. The Prnslien Government have with drawn M. Wagner, Secretary of Embassy here, who merely itetet4 at Consul-General at Alexandria pro tem. also the Gotertirftent are not to have a political agent in Egypt in fittute, but only a Commercial Consul-General, with a dimi- Aare. Mr: Wood, it is said, will soon be named Consul-Gertefal at Dernaserts: The Stambool, Austrian steamer, has been got off with little damage, through the skilful citations of Capt. Ford. Seseti Effendi, Director of the State Gazette, has been din- Missed. and replaced by Mehemet Nail Bey, one of the Secree taries of the Amedji. The exchange on England is gradually improving—it is now at 110. Changes are still talked of in the Ministry. Ihe num ber of English travellers visiting Constantinople is great, and will doubtless increase, when the establishment of direct steam communication will enable them to return home in little more than 1.5 days.

The report of daily cased varies from 2 to 25 ; the average niay be taken at 15. The average for Cairo about 50 a day. In the villages the mortality is greater in proportion. The murrain among the cattle has ceased ; there is, however, a good deal of sickness preyolent—fevers, dysentery, &e. The 13th Regiment has been withdrawn from Alexandria to Damanhour, and drafts from other regiments are being Gatti toned on the banks of the Nile, while the garrison duty of Alexandria is performed by the National Guard, an innova tion by no means popular. On the other hand, the National Guard of Cairo has been suddenly called upon to deposit their arms, accoutrements, colours, drums and fifes, &c., in the citadel, the men continuing , however, to be no minally enrolled. The French steamers still refuse to take pa , sengers, of whom there will consequently be an ample collection waiting the nest trip of the Liverpool. The probable steps that may be pursued by this Government with regard to the free trade in grain, pulse, and seeds of the new crops, and the contradictory rumours that daily circulate, occrion much anxiety. The I'acha has just notified that he will allow the export only of 20,000 ardeps of linseed : the privilege of exporting to be equally divided between the merchants of the English, French, and Austrian flags. It is clear that, however commercial treaties may be worded, the freedom of trade will depend entirely on the good will of the Government. The Government can, in the interior, always prevent the fellahs from selling—can always sequester or employ in their own service the means of transport on the Nile and canal; and above all, can hinder the transit at Atfe from the Nile to the canal iu throwing or proposing to throw obstacles in the way of internal trade. in 6Cai r,ooo o, irre fro gu m the lars, Mogrebins and Arnauts, have just arrived Hedjas, having refused to take service with Osman Bache, the Sultan's delegate, who has rendered himself odinus by a f ar worse than Egyptian system of extortion from the inhabitants; • the duties on commerce there have been more than trebled since those places were under the rule of the Pacha ; t hem merchants esta " blished there were talking ot leaving in cosquence. This little agrees with the Treaty of Commerce, extending to all the Sul'an's dominions. But disorders have insinuated themselves far nearer home. In Smyrna and Constantinople the Custom house is authorised to levy 1 1 2 h p u er cent. on imports of Briti h property from Nexandria, a t gh t e import duty by tariff is only 5 per cent., and on this very pro ierty the export duty I had been already paid in A lexandria. • Thereheeff of Mecca was at Djidda ; he received at din ner the the English and French Consuls. The Auckland steamer was to touch at Mocha on her return, to bring the Shirk there to reason for his oppressirm of our Indian subjects. The 9th Regiment, sta tioned in an island on the Nile, near Damietta, is reported to have lost half its number by the plague. The Pacha is amusing himself with the translation now in progress reg a r d he Parliamentary Report and published Correspondence ging the Egyptian Question. He sent Corres a h an dsome sword to Captain Henderson, cf t h e G w hi c h was decli ned, the regulations of the service not permit ; n rinit- ' tine hi m to accept it. The Hon. Mr. Stewart rtl'Kenzie, late Governor of Ceylon, is here. He proceeds in Lord Dysart's yacht to Syra ) where he will perform guarat t . pre . vious to proceeding to his new appointment of Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. This post iaies Pacha's acknowledgment of the London address. I annex a copy of his Excellency Boghos Bey's letter. The London address I sent you by the Oriental. The Lotus steamer was unfortunate in her first trip. Her voyage from Atfe to Cairo occupied 32 hours. She was de tained in Cairo 21 hours for a supply of coke, 13 hours of which time the passengers were on board waiting her de parture. The coke ought to have been waiting her arrival in Cairo. Her voyage back from Cairo to Atfe, with the cur rent, occupied 92 hours. The consequence of these delays was, that all the passengers by her, each way, lost their pas sage ; those from Suez arrived about four hours after the Oriental had left, and, owing to the French steamers not taking passengers, will be detained a month in Egypt. The Oriental and Peninsular Steam Navigation Company have acted unadvisedly in running the Lotus themselves ; they had far better leave the transit through Egypt entirely . in the hands of those who have had so much practical experience in working it, limitting themselves to assisting them if necessary, instead of opposing them in any part of the route. " The undersigned is expressly charged by his Highness the Viceroy to testify to the merchants, bankers, and other persons of consideration of the city of London, the satisfaction felt on reading she address they have kindly directed to him. " His Highness the Viceroy rejoices to see his intentions ap preciates' . he hls always thought that the more difficult the circumstances, the more necessary is it to guard against any impassioned influence, and that humanity and justice are the surest guides in similar occasions. His Highness cannot know whether his conduct in this respect will bear the fruits that are hoped from it, but the conviction of having fulfilled his duties as a man and as a governor, suffices to procure him that tran quillity of soul which is the greatest happiness in this world. " The undersigned thanks, on the part of his Highness the Viceroy, the merchants,bankers, and other persons of considera tion of the City of London, for the good wishes which in their address relate to his person, his family, and the countries to which they dedicate their career. His Highness hopes for the realization of these wishes in the concurrence of all well intentioned men. Ihe undersigned avails himself of this opportunity to offer the homage of the high consideration with which he has the honour to be their very obedient and very humble servant, "Alexandria, May 25. " BOGHOS JO USSOUFF." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—l thank you on behalf of the Committee for your very excellent remarks in The Sun of yesterday. They were re ceived here with gratification, and have been reprinted and circulated throughout the City. We have been going on with the good cause most gloriously. A meeting of the electors was called yesterday, and resolutions passed condemnatory of a compromise, and requesting Sir William Foster, Bart., and Flank Offley Martin, Esq., to offer themselves as candidates for the representation of this city in Parliament. The requi sition was signed by nearly 700 electors in a short period. It is rumoured that the anti-compromising Tories intend starting Captain Stracey and John Cator, Esq., in opposition. Again thanking you for your courtesy in attending to our request, I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN J. DARKIN. Committee of Electors, Bazaar, Norwich, June 22, 1841. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—May I beg the favour of your contradicting the charge made against my brother, the Rev. Thomas M'Donnell, of Birmingham, in the Times and Standard of yesterday, " that he has been lately discovered to be an abettor of Chartism." Considering; the manner in which Chartism developed itself at Birmingham, such a charge against a Catholic clergyman is too serious to be passed over. It is, how ever, notoriously false,—the truth being, that he has subjected himself to much unpopularity, and, as I have witnessed, to not a little danger, by his steady and un compromising opposition to the cause of Chartism at Birmingham. An opportunity will certainly be afforded to the inventor or publisher of this calumny to explain and defend himself, as he can, in a Court of Justice. I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, 25, Old-square, Lincoln's-inn, F. 2I'DONNELL. June 23, 1841. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (LLOYD'S). LONDON, JUNE 9.3.—Wind this day at noon, S. to S.E.

It was recently stated by Mr. Labouchere, in the House of Commons, that a treaty had been concluded with Denmark, by which a considerable reduction would be made in the Sound dues, collected by that Govern ment. We have been favoured with a letter received by a mercantile house in this town from Elsineur,,dat2d the 15th instant, and stating that from that day the' follow - ing important changes would be made in the duties on some of the principal articles of commerce : Cotton Twist, per 1001bs. 16 stivers (Is. Bd.) instead of 36 stivers. Coffee, per 1001bs. 6 stivers (7d.). instead of 24 stivers. Raw Sugar, per 1001bs., 5 stivers (WO, instead of 9 stivers. Logwood and Fustic, per 1,000 lbs., 8 stivers (I0d.), in stead of 36 stivers. Manufactures of cotton of all descriptions, with the exception of ordinary white cottons and the descriptions hereinafter enumerated, are to pay one per cent. ad va lorem. The excepted descriptions—viz., cotton stock ings, per 50 pair, the duty is reduced from 30 stivers to 6 (about Md. sterling) ; and cotton socks, per 100 pair, precisely ale same amounts. Cotton thread, Turkey-red cotton twist, and cotton embroidering yarn, respectively from 30 to 15 stivers (Is. WO; and cotton knitting yarn, from 18 to 15 stivers. In addition to these changes, considerable reductions appear to have been made on about fifty other articles of smaller importance.—Manchester Guardian. INSTANCES OF LONGEVITY. (From the Polytechnic Journal.) In the " Philosophical Transactions" the singular case of Henry Jenkins is recorded. This man died at at the very advanced age of 169. A few years before his death he appeared in a court of justice, and gave evi dence in ft cause. The celebrated case of Thomas Parr, of Wennington, Shropshire, is also 'detailed in the same publication. He died in the year 1638, at the age of 152. 1)r. Harvey, who opened the body after death, states that he found it to be in a most perfect state. His death was caused by plethora, brought on by more luxurious living in London than he had been accustomed to in his na tive country, vi here his food was very plain and homely. Parr lived during the reigns of ten kings and queens, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. He married a widow after he was 120 years of age. lie is said to have been a man of very different stamina from mankind in general. When he was 151 years of age, he was brought to London by Thomas Earl of Arundel, and car ried to Court. The king said to him, " You have lived longer than other men, what have you done more than other men?" Parr replied, " I did penance when I Was 100 years old." His chief rules for longevity were well known:—" Keep your head cool by temperance; your feet warm by exercise; rise early and go soon to bed; and if you are inclined to get fat, keep your eyes open and your mouth shut;" or, in other words, "be moderate in your sleep and diet." Maffeus, a Portuguese author, who wrote a history of the East Indies, mentions a man of the name of Numus de Cugna, a native of Bengal, who died in the year 1565, at the almost incredible age of 370 years. Maffeds represents. him to have been a person of great simplicity and quite illiterate ; but of so reten tive a memory that he was a kind of living chronicle. relating distinctly and exactly what had happened within his knowledge in the compass of his very long life, together with all the circumstances attending it. He had four new sets of teeth, and the colour of his hair and beard had very frequently changed from black to grey, and from grey to black. He asserted that in the course of his life he had 700 wives, some of whom had died. and others he had put away. The first cen tury of his life was passed in idolatry, from which he was converted to Mahometanism, which he continued to profess until his death. J. Jacobs, a peasant on the estate of the Prince de Beautremont, lived to the age of 120. He travelled at that age from the Jura mountains to VerSailles, to thank the National Assembly for having released him from the feudal yoke. He was received by all the members standing and uncovered, was allowed a chair, and to sit - with his hat on. A collection was made for him among the members, which amounted to 5001. The tables of longevity published for the year 1817, in the' Russian empire, give the following results : • " Amongst 828,461 persons who died, all belonging to the Greek Church, there appear to have been as fol-* lows :-1 above 140 years of age, 1 above 135, 7 above 130, 21 above 125, 51 above 120, 83 above 115, and 783 above 100." gOn the subject of longeity and mortality in Prussia, Dr. Hoffman states (Medicinische Zeitung, N. IV., 1839), that during the 18 years, commencing January 1, 1820, and ending December 31, 1837, the mortality is 12,626,379, being the average population of Prussia dur ing that period, amounted to 6,653,167 ; of this number 149,058 attained. the age of from 80 to 85 years . ; 67,754 that of from 85 to 90 years ; and 31,516 attained the age beyond 90. Thus 248,328 individuals, or 3 . 732 per cent. of the population, attained an age beyond 80. It is now for the people to be true to their So vereign and themselves. Shall it be said that the Queen of Great Britain was anxious to " provide for the pub lic service" "in a manner least burdensome to the com munity "—that with this generous and patriotic resolve she appealed to the British people for support—and that both Sovereign and people were compelled to forego their object, and succumb to the tyrannical, corrupt, and plundering opposition of a monopolising factiolt ? This is the question for the constituent body to decide. :Whatever the result, the merits• of the case must remain unaltered. As in many former cases, the success of-the Tories would only more cog fitly _ ' demonstrate the inefficiency and fraud of our present representative system, and the refusal to modify the pro hibitory duties, that is, the perseverance in the scheme of supporting the monopolists by starving the people, would only make thOse now stickling for the finality of the Reform Act become the disciples of further organ'. change. It is thus that by opposing moderate reforms, the Tories provoke the introduction of those of •L it ora extensive character. 'Thus extremes meet ; and w.lile the excessive deinands of lee Chartists induce.miiny to incline to the despotic discipline of Tory policy, the re sistance of the Tories to just and necessary concessions, on the contrary, induces many, otherwise moderate Re formers, to become advoeltes for asserting the extreme principles of democratic government.—Adrertiser. PAYING FOR REPARTEE.--Duelling was not only resorted to by men of the sword, but by men of finance ; and the celebrated Law of Lauriston, who wis placed at the head of this department, had commenced his famed career by several hostile meetings. Howbeit, he so managed matters as not to compromise the secu rity of his gambling-house in the rue Quincampoix by quarrels, although an assassination ultimately exposed this hell to a serious investigation. One of the mur derers was a Count Horn, a Belgian nobleman of dis ,:inguished family ; but who, notwithstanding the power ful interest made in his behalf, was sentenced to be broker; on the wheel. The Regent in this case was in flexible; nor would he even commute the punishment into a les,.s degrading execution. This firmness was attributed to his partiality for his creature Law, whose bank was of gizsat assistance to his constant debaucheries. Madame de Creciui, who wat' a relative of the criminal, and who exerted her best endeavours to save him, attri butes this murder of what she ca.i:s " the Jew who had robbed him," to other motives ; tt..ld . asserts that his Higimess's implacable hostility arose from having once found him with one of his favourites, ~tlie Countess de Paraliere ; when the Duke disdainfully,, said to him, " Sortez, Monsieur !" to which the other rkslied, "Your ancestors, sir, would have said Sortons I"—,Dr. Malin gen's Histiny of Duelling. . , HOUSE-BREAKING' AND DARING ROB BERY IS PriaLico.—Another of the frequent and daring instances of robbery which have lately so Much a bounded in this vicinity, was committed on the premises of B. Buchanan Dunlop, Esq., in Westbourn-plaee, either late on Friday night or on Saturday morning last. ;ire appears to be a gang of most expert house-breakers in festing this neighbourhood, who both disregard and :let at nought every' attempt of the police to prevent robbery, by attacking the rear of these houses, to which they have ready access by scaling the garden-walls from a large open space of ground in Caroline-street, formerly Occu pied by a builder for his saw-pit, workshops, &C., as well as from a gentleman's stable yard in Colesillstreet, the which extends in a parallel line a!ong the bottoms of four houses in Westbourn-place.

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE OF A •,§EAMAN. —On Tuesday even i n g an inquest was held, at the Le public-house, Shadwell-market, on D av id beck's Head Cargill, a ged thirty-three, a seaman on board the brig Albion, of Montrose, who committed suicide b 7 throw himself into the river.

After some time he ap peared in a complete state of madness, and ran about the deck, threatening to throw himself overboard. He made use of the most blasphemous expressions. A seaman named Moody interfered, and attempted to secure him, and receiving a violent blow from the deceased, he left him, and was deterred from further interference. The deceased then ran forward, and jumped from the gang way into a barge alongside, from whence be immediately jumped into the river. Before any assistance could be • ven he was carried down the s t ream b y the force of gi the tide, and was drowned.

AN AMERICAN LOCK.---A recent American paper contains an advertisement strongly recommending a newly invented lock ; and, after 'giving numerous praises of its various excellencies, sums up with the fol lowing exceedingly questionable quality for a lock that is intended to be serviceable.
