FOR THE SUN. TO ALDERMAN ATKINS. the approbation of good men is the highest reward of our honest diligence, the re proach of bad men is surely its next best testi mony. I know not, indeed, whether their ob loquy is not even more valuable. You, Sir, have retired from an exalted and a painful station, with this testimony, manifested loudly, vehe mently, and unceasingly. I do in all sincerity congratulate you. It is a proof of your worthy condlict, which posterity will understand and admit.' You have received the clamorous and resentful displeasure of the idle, the profligate, the dishonest, the seditious, and the desperate; for the unpardonable offence of having overawed their turbulence and defeated their machinations. In proportion, Sir, as I congratulate you on the censure of such persons, I should pity cer tain of your predecessors and competitors, who have been disgraced with their applause, did I not believe that their principles have desired and their actions deserved it. The day of your re• tirement from office was the prOudeit day of your life ; and, if they properly understood it, the most shameful day of theirl - s. • ..Yo , ‘, acquired, the approbation of the good an fd the reproach of the bad ; they, the reproach of the good and the ap probation of the bad. Each had, what each wished and merited. WooD, and WAITEDIAN, and PARKYNS, may place their pride in being shouted by a mob, and drawn through the city by human asses ; but -the saute homage has been paid to HUNT, and to WaTsoll, and to BURDETT; and your brother Magistrates are left to the hu miliation of its partnership. Had you, Sir, been visited with the laudatory howls of the Radicals, you must have looked around you in astonishment, or hung down your head in shame. Your friends must have suspend ed their own applause, and shrunk from the de basing contact. respect your character too highly to wish that you had been accompanied on Tuesday with one yell the fewer, one scream the fainter ; I cannot abate you even one brick bat, from the missile salutations of radical hatred. If, Sir, you had during your Chief Magistracy Ministered to the passions of the mob ; had you stimulated the factious, flattered the weak, and encouraged the desperate ; had you palliated the danger which they were preparing, and kept - back the force which prevented it ; you would have been very appropriately punished with the fawn. Digs and the followings of a Common Hall. You have not done this ; and you are therefore as lip. Fropriately rewarded with its cursings and pelt lugs. l trust that your successor will deserve the same testimony. If be does, he will assur edly receive it. Again, Sir, I congratulate you; in the full confidence, that you have not yet ceased to merit the spleen, and the violence, and the rancour of that many-headed B9st—the Mob. TENAX. PROTEST AOAINiT TIIE COUNTY MEETING AT HEREFORD. In consequence of the Meeting which is intend ed to be held at Hereford, convened by the Free holders and Householders of that County, a Protest, numerously and most respectably sign el, has been made against the said Meeting.— Amongst the signatures we observe those of Lord Somers, the Hon. G. J. Hereford, the Hon. John S. Cocks, the Hon. James S. Cocks, and a number of other most distinguished characters.— The following is a copy of the Protest, viz : " Because we observe that the Meeting is calculated in its effects to imply censure on a late loyal and constitutional Declaration of the Lord Lieutenant and Magistracy Of this Comity, unanimously resolved and adopted by them at the last General Quarter Sessions of the Peace, although they have only therein declared thiir loyalty to their Sovereign, their attachment Constitution, and their abhorrence of bias. !theory, sedition, and tumult ; and notwith standing that they carefully avoided all topics which could possibly be supposed to create any 'differ e n ce of sentiment on the subiect. Sc. coirlly, because the High Sheriff has summoned I to the intended M ee ti ng H ouse h o ld ers, as such, whomsoever .respectable, it not Freeholders, it . is contrary to perieral and approved practi ces to convene to a County Meeting ; and further objectionable, as tending, f low it s un li m i te d na ture, to trench upon the rights of Freeholders, and to countenance the wild and visionary project of Universal Suffrage ; and tioa!ly, because the Meeting in question, though called for the avrits ed purpose of promoting inquiry, is calcurited to in fer criminality against respectable bodies of men, civil aud military, who are open to the judgment of the law if they have offended against toe law."

LONDON JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [Morning Chronicle.] Private letttrs from France state the alarm which has been excited by the intlispoe4ion of the King, - on account of which the- misting of the two Chambers is-Adjourned. Thei*Prnds have fallen two per Cent. The alarm arises from the supposition that when Monsieur. co** to the throne, he would be inclined to favour the con federacy of Sovereigns for rivetting the fetters of their subjects, and that the system would be at tempted to be introduced again into France. Hence would certainly arise an iniernal ferment, which would revive the scarcely extinguished embers of a revolutionary war. Our own Funds sympathized in the fall, slid considerable gloom hung over the Stock Exchange, which was solely attributed to the news from France. [Morning Pali.) AN ELOPEMENT IN HIGH LIFE.—A Noble Family, moving in the very first circles of polite life, is thrown into a state of great distress, in consequence of the elopement of an eldest son with a married Lady. What adds to the affliction is that the Gentleman has also deserted a wile— almost in the honeymoon. The parties have hitherto eluded all search. L The New Times.) The accounts from Northumberland of the toys) spirit evinced by- the numerous tenantry of the Ditke . of Northumberland are highly satisfactory. Upwards of 20D0 of this respectable class of men attended at Alowick C"tle to offer their services if necessary for the preservation of the public peace. Gratifying as is this consideration, yet we must not dissemble that there is occasion for this energy to strike awe into the disloyal part of the population. The great source of corruption among the working classes in and about New castle has been the reading of that infamous pub lication The Black Dwarf. The Author of that work ever since he escaped on his former prose cution has gone on in one constant strain of sedi tion only varied by the occasional introduction of impiety ; but his former acquittal seems to have been considered as giving him a title to impunity for all his subsequent offences. [The Times.) FEVIIR TN SPAIN advises of yesterday from Cadiz, %%A id, are dated the 22d ult., repre• sent the fever to be gradually abating : ott the 21st the nitmber of deaths had diminished to 85 daily, and the official return of sick persons was 11,258. Great hopes were entertained that by the end of the. month the intercourse with the interior might be renewed with safety. Subse quently to the last accounts, four Captains of Eng lish transports in the harbour of Cadiz, com manding the Clarence, Kitty, Mary, and Young Thetis, have fallen victims to time malady. FLANDERS MAIL. Haws, Nov. 3.—To-day the Second Chamber of the States General was assembled. Two Pro jects of Laws were read, both relative to the re ;!ulation of Provincial Limits, which were re ferred to the Sections. Several petitions'having been already presebted, the President named a Committee of Petitions for the present Session ; after which the Assembly adjourned indefinit ively, though a great number of the ►rcembers of the Se cond Chamber, particularly from the Southern Provinces. have not yet arrived. 'The deliberation on the proposed Projects of Laws continued in, the Sections ; and a Report of the Central Section upon them is expected in one of the next follow ing Sittings. There are also many members of the First Chambers still absent. LUCERNE, OCT. 19.—Notwithstanding 'what has been said to the contrary, from many quar ters, the festival ot the 18th October—the Anni versary of the Liberty of Germany, has been kept up with great solemnity in our neighbottchood, by a number of German Students, who came to Switzerland for the purpose. FRANKFORT, Nor. 3.—The Central Committee at i\Jentz is on the point of commencing its operations. It is still vet)? uncertain what may be the issue of them. The inquiries which have taken place within these two months have shewn that the association of the Black is intimately con nectrd with the " Union ot Virtue" (Tugend.' bond) of 1813, which at that time enjoyed the protection of the higr.er authorities. It seems that, in fact, the individuals who are now accused of projecting a change in our political organiza tion, arc the same who in 1813 an d 1814 stranded the alarm against - the despotism of Bnonaparte, and of whom nse was then made to excite the • people. The Conferences at Vienna, it is presumed, will be of the greatest importance, l'he smaller States of the Contedernion having complained of not having been admitied to the Conferences ar Carls bad, have been invited to send Members to Vienna. M. Schmidt, of Bremen, is spoken of for the free The subjects to be discussed at Vienna are said to he the tollowing I.

The first Conference will be on the 20:h November. Eight Miu;sters, viz, of Baden, Cassel, Hanover, Wurtemberg, Bavaria, Saxony, - Austria, and Prussia, will have a deliberative voice; the Ministers of all the other Sovereigns will have no vote, exempt when there is a division among the eight fits(; in this case a Committee of four Members, chosen from the eight, will deckle in the last instance.

SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT ? LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1819. The Earl of CRAVEN has accepted the Lord Lieutenancy of the County of Berks. The Paris Papers of Tuesday last, %%lila were tie this morning, have not arrived. To such of our Reatrers, if there arc any, who wish for the re-admission of the degenerate Whigs into office, we recommend the review of their conduct when in power, which will be found in an article extracted from The Leeds Intelligencer of the Stb inst.—(See the Ist page.)—The modern Whigs have so obviously allied themselves with the Radicals, as may be seen in their favourite Ga zette, The Morning Chronicle, that it would be impossible to dissolve the connexion, if ever they should be again in place, without entail ing ruin on themselves, and perhaps on the Country. It is very well known that one of the higher Whigs, who, from his rank, ought to have better notions and better language, once declared, that if the PRINCE REGENT rejected some unreasonable requisition, he hoped the time would come when he might " ride rough-shod through Carlton House." We do not recollect what the exact nature of the requisition was, but we believe it was a measure in favour of the Roman Catholics. And here it may be proper to ob serve, that probably the first measure which the Whigs would be likely to propose, if they could obtain an ascendancy in the Cabinet, would be in support of what is styled Catholic Emancipation, or, in fact, to invest POPERY with all the rights and privileges which at present belong to the Mem bers of the Establisher; Church. We earnestly wish that the Roman Catholics may always enjoy a free toleration of their religious Worship in these realms, but Heaven forbid that they should ever be suffered to participate in Political Authority. There was a Meeting at Stafford on the Bth inst. for the purpose of considering the propriety of increasing the Armed Force of the County, and of the hest means for accomplishing the purpose. No Reporter was permitted to be present ; but The Morning Chronicle, to atone for the disappoint ment, contrived to obtain a copy of the Letter . which Sir CHARLES WoLseLey addressed to the Meeting, deprecating the measures which were to he discussed, without hearing the arguments pro or con, and introducing a due proportion of Radical abuse against the Manchester Magistrates, with the usual exaggerations of Party, on the late transac- lions at that place. The statement of The Morn ing Chronicle, and the Letter in question, was of course to•day copied in The (Old) Times, which scorns to be outdone in disaffection by The Chronicle; but as if the former Paper was unwilling to bear the whole odium of the insertion, it mentions it as having been derived from The Chronicle. The (Old) Times, of course, praises Lord ANSON", because he was not averse to the admission of a Reporter who-was likely to be partial, and because he was hostile to the objects of the Meeting, but all the Speeches of the other Noblemen and Gentlemen present were dispatched in a few words.--Such is the candour, impartiality, and public spirit, of that Radical Gemini, The Mourning Chronicle., and The (Old) Times. The following Resolutions, however, were adopted on the occasion, and they are so timely and judicious, that we hope the example will be followed-throughout the United Kingdom, in order to preserve it from Reforming Rebels:— That in the opinion of this Meeting, it is in the present state of the County highly expedient that the utmost exer tions should be used to render effectual aid to the civil power, in case of the disturbance of the peace. That an augmentatiOn of the Yeomanry Cavalry of the County be recommended to the Colonel of that Regiment, and that . the respectable householders and farmers in the se veral Towns and Parishes be invited to enroll themselves therein, and to offer their services to the officers command ing troops in their respective neighbourhoods. That the Gentlemen of properti and influence in the County be likewise requested to use their WI/unit exertions ID forwarding the object of the above Resolution. That, insomuch as the original Fund for raising the c o Y' ruanry has been long since exhausted, in order to ,keeP °F the Establishment, and to effect the proposed Auginen tat l of the Regiment, a S u b scr i pt i on b ere ct into fur Ili a purpose. It is observed in 77;(01d) Timis of this dal' that " the opinions which p u bli c men give 11 t each other, at diff eren t p er i o d s o f t h e i r politica l lives, ought not to be too strictly scrutinized; they are always the best who best serve our pre' sent purpose." The first part of this obser vation might be considered as a maik of ° lv , dour, if it came from any other quarter ba t the Paper in question, but, so considered, it • may be regarded as a subtle plea- for it P own versatility, as it has praise:l and abuse d almost every public charac.er in the Kingdns n ' as it suited its '' present purpose," t o a dopt its• own words.—We could not, however, give 0 ° assent to the latter part of the observation, eve n if it came from a source as much deserving of re' spect as The (Old) Times is of a contrary send . tent, for those public men are not "al ways the best who best serve our present purpose 1 ' i but those who se soun d j u d gment enlighte oeg views, and pine principles trill enable them (11 suggest and promote measures for the permane nt welfare of a Country. But the obiectiona bl° passage is exactly suited to the politics and Pr in ' ciples of The (Old) Times, which has always 11 " present purpose" in view, and which, after having received favours from public men,will readily bell's/ their former confidence, and expose their name" when it no longer receives that confidence, or has been indignantly rejected. Such has been thecondoci of the Paper in question, upon several occasions' but particularly in the instance of a Noblema n now in office, who discharges the duties of his office, with a degree of firmness, blended with dignified courtesy, Which has procured him lb . esteem of all who are friends to their Country' and the rancorous hatred, or despicable ribald 4 of those only who are its enemies. The greatest bustle continues at Kensingt° Palace in the apartments of the Duke of Kto're' It is supposed their Royal Highnesses will de' part next week. The Earl of LIVERPOOL gave a grand dinner yesterday to the Duke of WELLINGTON, ti ll LORD CHANCELLOR, Ea(' HARROWBY, Lord CAS' TLEREAGH, Lord SIDNIOUTUI, am) several othe r distinguished Personages, at Fife-house. A separation has taken place between a Peer ( 1 the Realm, and hi s L a dy, w hi c h i t i s hope d will not long continue, as the friends of the parties are endeavouring to bring about a reconciliation' The character of the female is irreproachable; the disunion arises solely from caprice. • Letters are received from Genoa, dated 30th ult., by which we learn that a most tremendo" s gale from the S.W. was experienced there on night of the 27th, and morning of the 28th idea" with a very high sea, which broke over the o' o mules, the city walls, and the different wharfs , and at times rushed through the city ga tes to $ considerable distance. His Majesty's ship Spry was in a most perilous situation during the gal e ' which was so violent that no boat could live: i ll consequence of which, although she had &red $ gun as a signal of distress, so assistance could be rendered to her ; she parted from two cables, b"" in the morning, when the gale moderated, she was t moored in a place of safety by so me b oats %Od ei ' had been sent to her. It bl ew anot h er d iv a& gale on the night of the 29th and morning of th e 30th, but no material injury was sustained. We bear, from various parts of the Countv,th ilt the inhabitants are signing the Devon Loyal P claratiou with the greatest avidity, and we ' i t° confident, that, in the cours e o f a f ew days, "e, returns from the different districts will form a !i s ' which, for numbers and respectability, has nev er been exceeded on any occasion.—We have a utbo" rity to state, that his Royal Highness the Prince Regent has been graciously pleased to accept the offer of Lord Rolle, of augmenting the rt°Y °l First Devon 'reornanry Cavalry to ten troops; ' 5 also that of adding one troop to his Lorolships. North Devon Regiment of Yeomanry.—(E lej Flying . Post, Nov. 10.) The additional five hundred marines are to be equally distributed at the four divisions of Ports' mouth, Plymouth, Chatham, and Woolwich. does not, however, appear, that any augmentati og • to the.present number of Officers on full pay is t° take place. ALARMING PIRR.•-- Last night about Ilia o'clock, a fire broke oat on the premises occ li. pied by Mr. Price, carver rind gilder, in porter" street, Newp o rt- mar k et , w hi c h were ent i r ely de ° stroyed, and also part of the house belonging t° Mr. Jones, a milkman.

About two o'clock yesterday afternoon , the body of a respectnhle-looking middle-aged mo n ' dressed in black, with white leather gloves ° I I I " was picked_ up, drowned, at the foot of P lac the friars-bridge. The bcdy was carried t° t he • Bone-house at th e b ac k o f B r id ewe ll, for Coronet's Inquest.
