The Chartists from Trcwbridge, h cded by 'Vincent and Carrier, held a meeting in the Mark t-place of lievizes.

MR. HANDEL GEAR'S BENEFIT. —On Thursday a concert was given at the Hanover-square looms, for the benefit of Mr. Gear. It commenced with a quartetto, in which Miss Bruce Wyatt, Mr. H. Gear, Mr. Stretton, and Signor F. Lablache sang the delight ful air by Donisetti, " Chi mi frena" (Lucia di); after which a fantasia on the pianoforte, by Mdlle. Borchardt, a child of ten years of age, with whose performance the company were astonished and delighted. Mr. John Parry sang " Fanny Grey" and " County Commissions," during which he kept the risible faculties of his audience quite in activity. Being loudly encored in both, he very kindly added his " Italian Master and Scholar," and "Wanted a Wife." Among the English compositions, a ballad sang by Miss Adeline Cooper, the " Alpine Shepherdess," composed expressly for her by Jaguerod, attracted particular attention ; there wits a softness and sweetness of delivery which called forth repeated plau dits. In expressing our delight, we may mention that it was in perfect unison with that of a delighted audience, by whom she was loudly and enraptuously encored. Mr. Clinton performed a fantasia brillante on the flute, Mr. Wolf an aria on the violin, and Mdlle. Launitz on the pianoforte. MA R YLEBUNE ELECTION.—In Paddington all is bustle .`tad activity. The canvass exhibits the immense interest th o people take in the approaching struggle. Sir B. Hall ius. l led in that district, when returned four years since, s'i2i3 votes; Mr. Eu art 280 ; the number of voters registere,i being 995. The prPsent register con tains 1,191 voters',. of which number Sir B. Hall has po sitive promises up to last evening of 539 ; Sir Charles Napier, 533; plumpors for Hall 8, for Napier 2. The dis qualifications by death, removal, &c., amount to 200. The excellent arrangements made in that district will ensure a majority over the Tory' crew of ddi upwards of 300. In- so deed, Mr. Cabbell's speech at Pangton:green has entirely disgusted all good inen, that this hitherto Tory district will boldly, fearlessly, and heartily perform its duty. We have received from Loughborough the par ticulars of a case of extreme severity, by the Bench of Magistrates sitting there, upon a poor man, for the alleged offence of stealing two-penny worth of cabbage. Though the man bore an exemplary character, he was conveyed to prison for three months, during which time the county will have' to support him, and the parish his Wife and numerous iamily.—Plyntoubi Journal. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.— Thursday, about three o'clock in the afters won, during the heavy shower, a gen tleman ran across Abehm.ch-lane, to take refuge under the porch of the White Hart tavern, when he slipped over the iloorcloth. On being pickei up, it was found that his right leg NN as broken just above the ancle. Be was taken to Guy's Bospital, where he gave his name, Mr. Samuel Ellis of Bel mont-terrace, Vandsworth-road. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A LADY.—A Coroner's inquest was held on Thursday morning, at the Bedford Arms, Tottenhr.nm-court-road, before Mr. Wakley, on the body of Mrs. Atm Newham, aged 63 years. Mrs. Margaret 31`Queen, of 225,. Tottenham-court-road, stated that she had known the deceased for the last fourteen years. She was a widow of independent property, and had resided with wit ness about sixteen months. The deceased had been suffering from an attack of nervous fever and depreFsion of spirits for the last fort night, and had been attended daily by a medical man . "Witness salx her last alive about eight o'clock on Monday evening. She then appeared to be in as good health and spirits at; she had been for some time previously, and told witness she was going' up stairs.

A n account of the interview between Sir Robert Peel stir id the deputation of the Church of Sect land having be en in circulation, to the effect that Sir Robert Peel was undecided in the expression of his hostility, /o the views of the majority of the Church, we im been requested to insert the following extract from a second l e tter, received by W.

"--Greenock J' xtural 4 LETTER, FROM EARL RADNOR TO THE EDITOR OF THE WILTSHIRE INDEPENDE:ZT. Grosvenor-street, June 20, 1841. Sin,—l wish to address, through you, to my neigh bours and friends, and others connected with agriculture, a few words on the present outcry about what is called Protection to agriculture, and the expediency of up holding the prdsent Corn-laws for the purpose of giving that protection. I would then inquire, 1. Whether protection is afforded by the present law, and— 2. Whether any protection at all is necessary ? With respect to the 'first inquiry—lf by protection is meant exclusion of wheat of foreign growth, it is clear that that sort of protection is not afforded by the present law. By Parliamentary Paper (house of Lords, 1841, No. 161) it appears that in the last ten years there have been entered for home consumption a far greater qUantity of wheat than in any former period of the same length. The annual average for ten years ending 1820, being 429,076 'quarters ; for ten years ending 1830, 534,762 quarters ; and for the last ten years, 908,118 quarters. indeed, in this respect the protection afforded by the present law is less than that afforded by the Act of 1815, for by Parliementary paper (House of Lords, 1841, No. 151) it appears that the annual average: quantity of wheat entered for home consumption from 1815 to 1828 (both inclusive), was 389,442 quarters, whereas the annual average of the twelve years from 1829 to 1840 (both inclusive), during which the present law has been in operation, has been 1,025,250 quarters. If by protection is meant high price, in this respect also the present Act is less efficacious than that of 1815, inasmuch as the average price for the whole of the first period was 645. id., and for the latter, 58s. 4d. Does any one then propose to revive the Act of 1815? I trow not ; for the suffering it occasioned to all classes of the community was so great, that the necessity of its alteration was admitted by all parties. Now, as to the second inquiry—whether any protec tion at all is necessary ? or in other words, has agricul ture, when it has not been protected, languished or fallen into decay ? Up to 1815 it was in that predicament. In 1793 in deed, and again in 1804, Acts were passed to give it pro tection ; but during the whole period from 1793 up to 1815, during which these Acts were in force, wheat kept above the prices at which they would take effect ; so that they never came into operation. Did agriculture languish or fall into decay from 1793 to 1815 ? I be lieve there never was a period in which landlords' rents rose and tenants' profits increased more, or so much, as during that period ; and I repeat, that during the whole of that time agriculture had no protection whatever. But it may be said, that the greater part of this time was time of war. True ; and it is also true that at the same time a debt of many hundred millions was contracted, and most heavy taxes were imposed. Will, it be contended that war and taxation (the income tax and the increased malt tax for instance) are advantageous to agriculture ; and that war produces plenty and prosperity ? Again, since 1815, agriculture has had protection. Has it flourished since that period ? Have rents risen ? Have farmers made great profiits and realised large for tunes, as heretofore ? Directly the reverse. In some cases, indeed, where they have been affected by the vi cinity- of mineral or manufacturing districts or towns, rents may have risen, but in purely agricultural dis tricts, in which alone I am personally interested, ac cording to my experience, they have fallen. The result of a reference to books, which exhibit the amount of rents—received on account of eight farms in different parts of the country, vow in my possession, at or about the years 1780, 1815, and 1538, is, that at the first period they yielded 1,7661., at the second, 3,7771., and at the third, 2,8911. ; being increased without protection in the first period nearly 150 per cent., and having fallen with protection, in the second, more than 34 per cent. I happen also to have been able to ascertain the rent of an estate belonging to a charity. This estate, in 1639, was let, at rack rent, at 301. ;in 1769, at 63/. ;is ISI3, at 1801. It is now let at 1201., the present tenant having been in duced to give that rent by the permission to break up from 20 to 30 acres of pasture land. During this period of protection, too, have we not often heard of agricultural distress—of farmers ruined—of rents paid out of capital, and of abatements claimed ? But it will perhaps be said, that the• thange of the currency, the withdrawing of the 1/. notes of the coun try, and cash payments, have caused this. If so, all property would have been affected alike, houses as well as agricultural lands. Has this been the case ? I have some property in London, about the centre of the town, not liable to be affected by fashion, or any other acci dental or local circumstance, and I find that this pro perty has increased in value in an uniform progression from '1790 to the present day. Taking the amount of the rents in 1790 at 1,000 I find them to have been in • 1795 as 1083 I 1815 al 1458 I 1935 as 2125 1800 ... 1125 1820 ... 1541 I 1840 ... 2208 1905 ... 1208 I 1825 1791 1810 ... 1333 1830 ... 1875 Houses have had no protection; land has; the rent of land has fallen; that of houses has risen. Where is the good of protection ? Again, I am informed that the value of land ascertained in another way, had fallen since 18 15 . Eminent sur veyors have told me that whereas before 1815, land would sell in the market at thirty years' purchase, since that period it has not generally fetched more than twenty eight years, except, indeed, good pasture land (1. c. land not specially protected by the Corn -law.) And if it be said, that bad as the case of agriculture has been, this has net been owing to protection, and would have been worse without it, to this I answer, first—that at all events protection has been contempo raneous with distress, and has not prevented it, or effected its purpose ; and secondly—that the trade of agriculture, or manufacture of bread, cannot be supposed not to be subject to the same law as any other trade, that it is demonstrable in theory, and proved by uni versal experience, that all protection of trade acts as restriction ; and that trade only flourishes, or to say the least, most flourishes, when left to its own resources, unfettered and unprotected. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, RADNOR. COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—A commission of lunacy was opened on Wednesday at Gray's Inn Coffee house, touching the sanity of William Pinckes, Esq., an elderly gentleman, possessed of large landed property, and described as of Breachwood-green, Hertfordshire, and at present residing at No. 24, Great Warner-street. The Commis ioners were Messrs. Phillimore, Winslowe, and Blunt. The subject of the inquiry, who was described to be extremely in firm and suffering under a defect of the eyes, nearly amounting to blindness, appears to heve no relatives. Having amassed considerable wealth in early life, he laid it out in the purchase of land, but from the circumstance of his being a foundling, the estates of which he is possessed revert to the Crown should the writ be sustained. It is re sisted by a person named Arnold, who has for some years had the management of Mr. Pinckes's money matters, and who now, by virtue of a will, stands in the character of sole executor. The investigation was reaumedoa Thursday, but there being a great number of witnesses to be called, the inquiry was again adjourned. A CORRUPT VOTER.—A gentleman in pub lic company . commencing a song, was entreated by a friend to desist. You will never, said the latter, gain anything by your voice. You are wrong, replied the former, my voice as a voter, at the late election, gained me a round sum of money. THE MARKET-GARDENERS AND THE NEW POLICE.—For several weeks past a great degree of ill-feeling has existed between the police of the F division and the green-grocers and fruiterers and market-gardeners attend ing Covent Garden-market, arising from the arbitrary conduct of the police, and which will furnish matter for the gentle men of the ong robe, in the course of the present sittings after term. It appears that about two weeks ago some gentlemen made a complaint against the police of their not being able to pass through Covent Garden-market in conse• quence of the obstructions created by the carts of the retailers of vegetables and other produce brought to market; the result was orders were issued to remove all the vehicles, and so strictly was this order enforced, that carts, whilst at a distance from the footpath, were seized and taken to the Green-yard, as well as the goods in them, and the proprietors conveyed before a Magistrate, and, in general, fined Os., besides having to pay some 7s. or 83. for fees at the Green-yard. In conseqnence of this state of affairs, a meeting of the gardeners was held, and the opinion of Sir W. Follett having been taken and been de clared to be favourable to them, actions are about to be com menced against the alleged offending parties. TIIE'PRESENT E LEC TIONS.-111 running one's eye along the list of candidates at the present elections, one cannot fail being struck with the important fact that amen,g the Liberal candidates are to be found nearly all the historical names consecrated in English history, such as the Russells, Howards, Cavendishes, and, with one ex ception, the Stanleys.

PARIS T RADE SMEN.—In Paris the tradesman assumes the right of dictating to the taste of his cus tomers ;in London he only administers to it. Enter a Parisian shop, and ask to be shown velvet, silk, or riband, to assort with a pattern you have brought of some pard cular colour or quality, and the mercer, having glanced at it somewhat contemptuously, places before you six or eight pieces of a different tint and texture. You tell him that they are not similar to the pattern, and he answers, " That may be ; nevertheless, my goods are of the newest fashion, and infinitely superior to your model." You say, " You prefer the colour of your pattern, and must match it." He produces half-a-dozen pieces still more unlike what you require ; and to your renewed as sertion that no colour but the one similar to your pat tern will suit you, he assures you that his goods are su perior to all others, and that what you require is out of fashion, and a very bad article, and, consequently, that you had much better abandon your taste and adopt his.— Lady Blessington's Idler in Fran .e. 'A r.mAcK s.—The first ball of the last subscrip tion, on Wednesday night, was, notwithstanding the many de partures from the metropolis since Monday, the most brilliant reunion of the season. It being generally understood their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess cf Cambridge would honour the ball by their presence, the vouchers granted by the ► Ladies Patronesses did not exceed 500, and consequently the company included the elite of the haute noblesse remaining in town. The Ladies Patronesses, the Countess of Jersey, Coun alnldi g a l ititi attended i n s d e e s d the b y Coun tess of Brownlow, Countess of Lichfie a l e d e , o : n r i p sc a o n u ie n d tes b s y Pa i l ,r m in e c r- e stop, and Lady Willoughby D'Eresby ! were amo: g the early u a e t. n A e aburgoi Augusta sgteaCambridge, Somerset, and Captain arrivals ; and at half-past eleven, their Roy a l D G u e k or e ge an a d nd D p u r c i h n e c s e s ss o A f Jones arrived, and were received by the Ladies Patronesses in the supper-room, and conducted by them to tl e digs at the end Baron Krieseheck, LadyuCg of the ballroom, the band, on the entree of the Royal party, playing the national anthem.

Fellow Countrymen,—The present dissolution will mike us ask, are we to go back to Toryistn, and are. we to keep on. with the Whigs, or are we to make progress with political Reform ? It will be necessary to take a short review of the different parties as they at present are, and to see how far they act up to the best pritimples of society. First—NV hat are the principles cf the Tories, arid what will they do ? A genuine Tory (or no Reformer) looks on all things which have existed for ages with the greatest veneraion ; they appear to him that having existed long, they are rooted, as it were, and ought not to be torn up or eradicated. His mind is so prepossessed with this idea, that his feelings in that respect lead his reason triumphant ; and all that he may ar gue will be in favour of the feeling which at all times will be uppermost in his mind. It matte( s not if they be bid; in the majority of instances he will be in their favour if they have antiquity on their side. - Now, him is it possible - for such a man to judge correctly of things when his .reason will be se clouded by his feelings as to take a seeenstplace only in his judgment ? He cannot, however wiling be itay be to (lo so, act according to his reason, because bit veneration acts so as it will riot let him. The Whig (or half Reformer) has in him a great deal of the Tory character, but he has not so strong au antipathy to change as the Tory has ; he will Reform a little, lee will go somewhat towards improsing things without feeling tie force of areiquity to strong upon him. He can see that changes are necessary, and where his prejudices are not too strong against them, he will be their supporter, but in many cases where those changes are necessary, the spice of Toryism that is in him preven:s his bringing them forward or supporting them. He acts in such eases through fear of ping too far. The Radical (er thorough-bred Reformer) does not allow those prejudices to cloud his reason ; he sees things as they are, he observes the elects they produce, and acts accord ingly. He does not pin his faith to this or that mile of conduct, never to swerve from it, for he well knows from experience that whatever any man may lay down as a rule, is liable to error, and that it is only when we arrive at the actual natural laws by which things are bound together, that we can come to anything like correctness in our judgments. Nuw, I will put. it to you. Which of these three is m ost fitted to represent you ? The Tory who cannot reform ; the Whig, who will reform a little; or the Radical who is both able and willing to reform every political wrong that may exist? Reformers, wherever you can get a Radical, vote for him ; he may be rough or unpolished, but recollect he is honest, he will work for you, you will not find in him that gloss of cha racter which but too often passes current for real merit. If you cannot get a Radical, but you can get a Whig, do not let such a chance as that be thrown away, for though he will but refarra a little, yet recollect that lit le is le ter than none. But Reformers do not support the Tory, do not split your votes so as to let him have only one ; every vote you so give is one against yourselves. You are stop ping the current of re , formation ; you are preventing the energies of your country from being put into proper execution. - Politi a'ly do not. as sist him in any way. He may he a very got d private charac ter ; he may be an excellent ni ighbour ; be ras.y have all the other excellencies of character, but' bear in mind, and it is your duty to do so, he is no Reformer. In that respect he cannot serve you, for his feelings will not let hint. You have the Tory party against you, and their porier and influence is great, and it will require great exertions on your part to oppose them successfully; but if you are sincere, op pose them you must. You want among you men of talent and energy, men who can see things clearly, and who have intel lect enough to observe and carry out the natural laws of things as they find them. You do not want the stormy orator who can do nothing but speak ; you want those who can enter into ;slain simple dt tails of thing=:, and can observe their proper bearings, and who can see clearly into and expose the errors of a wilful and refine 1 sophistry. The Property Qualification is one if the greatest preventit es to a email:4e Reformation. But such as it is, till the law •is altered we must abide by it and get over it in the best way we can. It prevents men coming forward as candidates, who perhaps have every mental qualification for such an office, simply be cause they have not 3001. or 5001. per annum of their own property. Now, there is one way by which this state of things may in some measure be put an end to. What should hinder the 'Reformers in this country (as wed as those of Ireland) from raising a fund for the payment of men so mentally endowed to advocate their interests? The qualification required for cities, town, and boroughs is that a candidate must be possessed of property, of some kind or other, of the yearly value of 3001. Now the population of England, Wales, and Scotland is almost three times that of Ireland, and perhaps six times as rich. Now suppose, (a.:(1 you will say 1 am drawing it rather strong) the Tory party amounts to one-third of the population, there will then be two thirds of Reformers left, of all grades. They will be equal in money value to four times the money value of the populations of Ireland, Tories ineluded. Ireland has subscribed 13,000/. per year for the support of one Men.ber cif Parliament. England, WaLs, and Scotland could raise. by the same means 52,000/. per year, which divided by 3001., the qualification for one Member, would be capable of qualifying 173 perioss as candi dates, and as they would nece.sarity be persons of sufficient ability, how much may be done by these means if you v, id but set about it. Reformers of Great Britain ! Up and be doing. Do not call out " Reform ! Reform !" and while there ale such means of acting as these prevent its being put in operation by your su pineness. Carry out this work. Make common cause against the common political enemy, and success will and must be yours. I remain, yours, respectfully, JAMES P. GRELLET. 36, Seabright-street, Bethnal-green. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.—The following horrible suicide is related by the Cherbourg Journal:— " A brigadier of the sth Dragoons, named Fabre, who was in confinement at Saint-Lo for drunkenness, being told by Lis commandant. that he should be handed over to the gendarmerie, exclaimed frequently that a soldier who, like him, had served thirty years, would not disgrace his comrades by allowing a gendarme to lay hands on him. As there was reason to believe that he contem plated suicide every instrument of danger was removed ; but at the expiration of three days' confinement, he con trived to procure an old blade of a knife and an old pair of scissors; with these he inflicted fifteen wounds in the abdomen, and. finding that death did not arrive, he tore i out a portion of his ntestlnes, and cutting them into pieces with the scissors, threw them at his feet. In this state he was discovered still living, bat he died two tours afterwards, perfectly sensible, and declaring that he had resorted to suicide to spare his regiment from the disgrace of one or their comrades being arrested b y the gendarmerie. MARCH OF ItaT n Et o , i, n t E c T.—At a farm-house N in the ham of Teigb blank form which was left for the u ig ra n c t ra nil oprall'ivshb, the o s N taking the census, was thus filled up Popman, aged 93; profession &c., sets by the fire; Ant e Popman, 85, makes fire." "liy son Will hath filled up your paper,". said the old farmer, " right, he told me ; but I don't know anything about it. I can mind what happened seventy or eighty years ago better than what was done last year. I know very well, continued he, " when the new style took piece ; I was then in my eleventh year, and what a fine holiday there was on the first new Christmas-day."— Western Luminary. On Tuesday last a meeting of the Commis sioners of Supply and Justices of the Peace for Aber deenshire, was held in the Court=house, Aberdeen, for the purpose of expressing their sympathy with the eight ministers of Strathbogie, under their pretended deposi tion, and their disapproval of the conduct of the majority of the General Assembly. Mr, Grant, of Tillyfour, the Convener of the County, was called to the chaa'. Sir J. Forbes, of Craigievar, proposed a series of resolutions expressing regret at the severity with which eight re spectable clergymen have been treated, merely because they bowed to the authority of the law of their country ; as well as their warmest sympathy with the individuals who have been made the victims of a protracted oppres-, sion so entirely unmerited. Col. Fraser seconded the re solutions. Mr. Thomson, of Banchory, said that he would not propose any direct amendment on the resolu tions, but would simply move that the meeting do now adjourn, which was seconded by Sir W. Seton. On a division, Sir JeForbes's resolutions were carried by a ma jority of 101 to 8. ASSERTED LIBERALITY OF THE CHARTISTS. —The Chartists call themselves Ultra-Liberals ; indeed the liberty they allow themselves knows no bounds. They are a mere fraction of the people—say they may number ten or even twenty out of a body of six hundred and twenty electors; yet this ten or twenty consider they ought to be allowed -to send Representatives to Parlia- ' ment of their choosing, though they did not represent the opinions of the other 600 electors ; . it is not even suf ficient that the candidates should vote for four out of the five particular points in their politicial law, if he will not vote for the fifth ; also, they vote for the man that votes against their whole system. Was it not for the injury to others it would but be an act of justics to them to return all Tories, regular " Six Acts" men, to teach them reason ; they richly deserve an )tier Castlele.igh. SACRILEGE.---The Church of St. -Cloud was broken into a - few nights since, and many of the sacred vessels were carried (A The poor-box was also forced open, and the money in it taken away. No clue has yet been obtained to the discovery of the depredators. A LADY MURDERED BY A Muß.—ln last Saturday's obituary was inserted the death of the wife of Mr. William Kirkpatrick, of the Sadder I)ewanny. This lady came by her death through the daring conduct of a mob, and unedveerthgeshe v, as going mostatili n . a buggy whichcircumstances.ctinig On last Monday evening was driven by a young gentleman ; passing the circular road, not far from the burial-ground, they encountered a large mob of apparently up-country bearers, by whom that part of the road was nearly all obstructed. The gentleman and the syco called out as loudly as possible for the mob to clear a passage, but to no avail ; and before anything could be done the shaft of the buggy went against one of the crowd,' but without producing any injury whatever. This, however, so infuriated the miscreants that they attempted to stop the buggy, failing to do which, they ran along in pursuit, hurling volleys of -tremendous brick-bats at it. The buggy drove on, but Mrs. Kirkpatrick, unfortunately, looking back at the mob, was struck by a large brick-bat on her forehead. The shock was so violent as to cause a fracture of the skull. She lingered on in consequence in a state of in sensibility, and on Thursday expired. As it was a matter of impossibillity to find the least trace of her murderers, no stir has been made by her friends ; but the case is here stated to afford a fearful and a fatal ex ample of the want of a proper and efficient police.— Bengal Hurktru, A LAWYER AWAKE.—Mr. George St o ne, 'of Taunton, solicitor, retired to rest a few nights ago, but could not sleep through indisposition. He therefore oc cupied himself in reading a newspaper until two in the morning, when he extinguished his light, and soon after heard a cough in his room. This alarmed him, and he continued to lie awake for some time. At length, how ever, he fell asleep, but was roused in about ten minutes after by hearing the newspaper rustle. He sprang up, and pn-ceived a man creeping from under the bed, who eluded his grasp, and succeeded in getting clear off. It would seem that the follow had secreted himself for some villanous purpose, and when lie found the day breaking thought it necessary to make a bold attempt to escape. CORN-LAWS .—A red-hot monopolist, and a Corn-law man, a large landed proprietor, was complaining to a t s he ne a x ve t. rage He of re w p b li a e t d y b o e u v i l r e e , t " ) a o s t a i a d i n ie t n t u e: l i e l m y ther, " let me know what that a fixed duty would ruin the country.

ADDRESS OF THE POLITICAL INSTITUTE TO THE ELECTORS OF GREAT BRITAIN. . Members of an Association, founded to aid the great move ment of the age towards a wide extension *of t opular freedom and happiness, we think it our duty to atldress you at this most important. crisis. The tools of no - faction, and biassed by no personal interests or class 'associations against tl.e rights of any division c f our countrymen, our suggestions will be honest and independent ; it will be for your calm reason to de cide if they are just End prudent. The first suggestion we submit to you is, that the present struggle is one between the Aristocracy and the Democracy. It is a struggle between them, not about the possession of power, it is true, but about what is nearly as important, the possession of the outworks and best strongholds of power—the monopolies. The landed aristocrats levy on us, through laws of their own making, an annual tribute of many millions, more even than we are obliged to pay in taxes to the State. The Colonial Aristocracy levy also another tribute on us , less in amount, but equally unjust. and equally marking their feudal superiority. The struggle is, shall these fiscal exactions, the causes of um- wretchedness as the badges of our servitude, be perpetuated or not ? The monopolists say they shall, and are in arms to maintain them at all hazards. Every man who hates the people, and would crush their liberties, supports them. Every interest which can only IT maintained by injus tice and popular debasement, is with them. There is no bigot, no unprincipled oppressor in any corner of Europe, who does not wish them success. There is ao disguise then, there can be no disguise; about the nature of the strugele. It is between us and the extorting faction that r ale us, between the people and those that prey on the peop'e. As we are fa vourable to the privileged and their monopolies, so mast we be opposed to our own order and fair legislation. There are but two sides, and the case admits of no setwardly neutrality —we must join as freemen the ranks of the plundered Democracy, or march as slaves in those of the plundering Aristocracy: The monopolizers will unite to a man to enforce their reign of im poverishment and tyranny. Is these, then, one of the Demo cracy base enough to lend them his aid ? If, there be, he is alike a traitor to his own order and to humanity. • Misguided or unprincipled men have told you that. the Mi nisterial propositions are not worth your support. P,el;eve it not. They extend not as far as we wish, or as far as they ulti mately must; but they are additions cf great value to a class by whom the smallestimprovement is sensitively felt—the poor. Sugar from Brazils pays 669. per cwt., and occasionally enters our ports. Ministers propose to reduce it to 365. So large a reduction, independently of the profits it brings to the a: tivan in increasing our foreign trade, cannot. be without its advan tage to the consumer. We pay 60s. or more a quarter for corn. Change the law, we shall pay but 4(ls. or less. The difference. one-third of the whole, must again go to the con sumer. We say this is much. It is mud: that pretectisn is moved lower down the scale ; thatthe people are to know some thing about it, besides paying its charges. It is much that the rich planter can no longer raise sugar to what price he pleases, nor continue to charge us more millions a year to revenge our stopping his slavery atrocities. It is much that the idle landlord can indulge no more his luxurious and demoralizing appetites from the starvation prices extorted out of the poor man's loaf. Yes, believe us, Electors, there is much of good in the charges themselves, and there is more in the changes they must lead to. Have you ever compared the condition of cur corn-growing landlords with those on the Continent ? The fore i g n land lords' agricultural skill is less, their machinerymore imperfect, yet they sell their produce to the poor and the destitute nearly two-thirds cheaper than our lnxurious aristocrats. Clothing and everything else we make in this country is cheaper than on the Continent. Why, then, are the prices of agricultural manu factures so enormously disproportionate? Not, as our land lords say, because they pay one-third more wages, for their poor labourers pay the difference back twice over. They pay it in that mere than doubled price of food ; they pay it ia working one-third longer than the foreign labourer ; they pay it in woiking one thi d harder. The explanntion was in the landlords' exclusive power of law-making. Their legisletori cal legerdemain gets them first more produce for less money, it gets them, secondly, more money for less produce, and thus they win, and the people of England lose, more than a hundred millions a year. Happy power, most disinterestedly exercised! And yet men wonder why there is wretchedness in the land. If in national works, then, there be much in a conanence ment, it is something to have begun the business of humbling our corn-growing aristocracy. No business ever more required commencement; Europe holds no aristocracy so dispropor tionately rich, so demoralised, so insolent. They monopolize the whole State ; the land is their's, the Army is their's, the Navy is their's, the Church is their's, the Excise and Customs are their's, the Colonies are their's, the Universities are th .;ris, the two Houses of Parliament are their's, the rob bery of commerce is their's, the plunder of the people is their's, the revenues of the State are their's, the honours of the Government are their's, the power of the empire is hair's, everything is their's bstt drudgery and taxation. t Remember this against them, Englishmen, now that it may tell against them, in your'elections. Be not seduced by their septennial practice of varnishing over their wrongs to you with professions of anxiety for your welfare. To evi ry specious as surance, to every sophistical defence, indignantly reply, " You are the richest landlords of Emote ; why are your peasantry among the most wretched ? You have governed the country as you liked the last 70 years. How is it that there is no class in it happy but your own ? The disinterestedness of your rule is proved by your own overgrown luxury and insolence ; its wisdom in our wretchedness and discontent. It is time to bumble you." Yes, Electors, it is time, high time, to humble them. And now is the moment ; circumstances aid M. The measures of Ministers put the means in our hands; they arc not perfect, but they are serviceable— as such let us use them—let us u-e them with energy ; they deserve it ; let us use them with pru dence—there is no success without it. Be united. Take any man's aid who will fight your battle with the enemy. Forget toe a while your more or less extensive views of Constitwional Reform. This is not their time. There is a practical good within our reach. Our powers concentrated , 'tis WOO ; and the victory of jestice can hurt no good theory. Disunited, 'tis lost, and with it our common good. if the enemy win, it will mat ter little which of our theories is the best. We advise you, therefore, first to give no vote to any candi date who will not support the proposed financial changes ; their utility may be limited, but we cannot afford to forego it for unlikely chances of greater. 2. To support no candidate, however liberal, who will divide the popular party without any reasonable chance of success. In such a ease to seek an impracticable good, is to find prac tical evil. Let us love democracy, but love it wisely. 3. To elect a stanch Radical wherever it is possible. We want men who will fight the aristocracy at all points. 4. Where you cannot return a Radical, to influenee the electors to select the most liberal candidate that can be pro cured. He will fight the aristocracy , at sores points, and, next to the importance of having a good Member, is the having a Member not bad. b. Wherever there are two rival Liberal candidates, to decide their pretensions forthwith by ballot. Our first principle is to give the enemy no victory. Finally, To adopt, as the great rule in your policy in these elections, as in all other public proceedings, the question which will most serve the cause of the people. Electors of England !—Now is your time to serve that noble cause. Arouse ye, then. Be no longer the tools or slaves of your tyrant aristocracy. Stand now for the people. United, prudent, energetic ; show by your conduct that you are worthy of the occasion with which fortune now tr.os von. Prove that you understand the character of the war—that - you appreciate the nature of the crisis. Crush the monopolies— take the fang out of the aristocrats—that is your minion of to day. A nobler mission awaits you—to which this but opens the way. Fulfil boldly she vocation of the present, and the day is not far within the future, when you will find yourselves again united, teaching your insolent masters that ye, the millions, are men and Englishmen as they, as much created for the blessings of nature, as much entitled to the powers cf self-government as they, when ye will declare to them, with the resisless voice of an aroused and mighty people,that ye will submit no more to their usurped and abused superiority—for that the hour has 'at length arrived in which, rising in the peaceful power of your right, you are calmly to vindicate the dignity of manhood and the justice of Providence, impugned by their long-borne oppre.rions. • (Signed on behalf of the Members) T.

SIR,—In reading your leading article, inserted in last night's Sun. respecting the line of conduct most likely to be alopted by the clergy, 1 could nut help calling to mind the following recent characteristic fact : The Tory candidates for the West Riding. Wortley and Denison, started from this town on their canvassing to Holm firth, Delph, and Marsden, last Wednesday. At the latter place the Rev. M. Maxfield, the village pastor, introduced dir. Wortley to the electors, who, in his address to them, made use of the following language:—" Tho Whigs tell you that the alteration in the sugar duties, brought forward by them, would reduce the price of that article three-pence per lb. I mean to tell you it is a d—d lie." Did the worthy incum bent rebuke this scion of aristocracy for his blackguardistn ? Not he, indeed. Nay, did he not identify himself with this low phraseology by neglecting so to do? No wonder there are three Dissenters to cue Churchman, when the clergy of the Church associate arid make ;common cause with such in: - n. Mr. Denison also stated at the same place, that in the United States the Americans hail a tax on corn ; but he was speedily silenced by a person in the crowd calling ou', " l have lived in that country lb years, and I know what you now state to be false ; they ha ve no tax at all upon what they themselves pro ,: due e."—Your's, faithfully, Huddersfield, June 25, 1841.

The disease of the esteemed Baronet is said to have been water on the chest.— Wolverhampton Chronick. taming one reduction only—That of ls. per bushel co malt. The Opposition pressed for further reductions, which were strenuously resisted by the Tory Ministers, but on a division on a motion for a repeal of the Malt Tax they only escaped defeat by a majority of four. They were subsequently beaten on two several motions by the Opposition,—one for a reduction of salaries to the Lords of the Admiralty ; the other for the abolition of the sinecure office of Joint Postmaster-General ; and finally beaten into abandoning their Budget altogether, and bringing forward a new one, containing the reduc tions of taxation above quoted. In the statement re ferred to, the merit of these reductions is given to the Tory Government, who opposed them to the utmost, and only adopted them after repeated defeats, when -they had no resource left but to adopt the measure of their opponents, or resign offiCe. 7th.—The reduction of the duty on British distilled spirits in 1823 and in 1825, and on rum in 1824, and on cider in 1825 and 1830, which altogether figure in the list, to the amount of 2,250,0001., must not be 1 taken as a reduction of taxation, but as a differential duty against foreign spirits and oiler, creating to that amount a preference interest in favour of home-made spirits and cider, and also in favour of colonial rum. This, instead of a diminution, should in truth be con sidered as a protective 'tax to that amount. Bth.—lf the public, therefore, allow for all these deduc tions, and for the new taxes imposed by the Tories in 1819, amounting to 3,200,0001. per annum, and add all the previous burdens with which the Tories have oppressed the country for thirty-six years, it is plain that the Tories have little merit left them on appearing before the tribunal of national judgment Lastly.—lt is equally plain that if we allow the Tories all the merit tney claim for diminishing the public bur dens, there remains, even by the evidence of Tory statements, still greater merit for. the Reform Govern ment in taking off the taxes as admitted by the Tory list, but which list is at least 2,000,0001. under the actual amount. The amount of taxes taken off by the Reform Govern ment, as stated by the Tories, is 6,373,000/. Now the real amount of taxes taken off was as follows : 1831. Customs duties on Coals, Coast- £ wise . Sate ditto Wine, Barit a, &c. ......, 36,813 54,951 1,060,961 Excise, Calicoes Assessed 'faxes . 3,152 832.

Taking the exaggerated statement of the Tories,'they amount to 3,249,000/., or about the same amount as imposed by the Tories in 1819, Without any reduction whatever. The Tory list states that the Public Debt was re duced from 801,000,0001, in 1821, to 757,000,000/. in 1831 :—we readily admit this, and the Tories were easily enabled to do so by two circumstances : first, the general peace of the world, and secondly the abundanc e of money, rendering it easy to diminish the interests of the National Debt, and to buy up stock bearing high interest, to be refunded at low interest. From 1831 to 1841, events unforeseen, and none of which could possibly have been prevented, have arisen, and have caused additional expenditure, and which ex penditure the Tories themselves in Parliament saw fully as great a necessity for, as the Reform Government did. Among these was the revolt in Canada, the China war, the scarce harvests of 1838 and 1839, causing a dimi nished use of other articles than food ; the comwercial crisis in America affecting the trade and especially. the Custom's revenue of England. There is this fact, however, to be taken into account, viz., that if the Reform Government had abided by the proclamation of the Tories, viz., " that the latter 'had not left it in the power of the former to make any further reduction in the national taxation," then the national revenue would at this day exceed the expendi ture to the amount of about six millions, notwithstand ing the extra expenditure caused by the revolt in Canada, and the expedition to China, and also of the interest of twenty millions sterling, which the Reform Govern ment and Parliament, to their immortal honour, have paid for emancipating all the Colonial slaves. Nor must it be forgotten that the Reform Ministry entered upon the Government immediately after the last French revolution, which was followed by the Belgian and Po lish revolution ; and that the Reform Ministry instead of involving the country in war (as the Tories did after the first French Revolution), have preserved the peace of Europe from 1830 to 1841, during a period of great difficulty and danger. We may further state that the sliding scale of the Corn Duties with which the Tories have saddled the energies of the country, has defrauded the Treasury of, and put into the pockets, not of the landlords and far mers, but of the jobbers in food, at least the amount of 2,000,0001. within the last two years. ELECTION 1110VEYIENTS. HASTINGS.—Oar election is fixed for Tuesday, and it ap pears that our late Members will walk over the course, and thus neutralize the hot ough in the ensuing momentous crisis, which may be almost said to create a civil war between county and borough constituencies. Shame on the supporters of each candidate that, to insure his return, they shoul I forget all their for merly professed principles ; the moment is notone of mere personal triumph, whether this man cr that shall be honoured, but of good against evil, right against might, justice against cOrrup tien, and if either pink or blue be so strong as its partizans boast, each party is recreant to its principles, in not bringing forward a second man, and thus giving to Hastings the chance of a voice in the ensuing Parliament. The Reform Act has continued to the borough the privilege of returning two Mem bers as formerly, but how uselessly, alas! when• the electors themselves voluntarily disfranchise it, and proclaim, by their conduct, that in their hands the electoral trust isnot considered as a national confidence to.be exercised for thepublic good, but as a Private right which permits every man "to do what he likes with his own," regardless of moral or patriotic control. Some of the elector,, however, cre free from this stain, and have exerted aemselvi s to their utmost to avert the glaring degradation, the political nonentity beneath which the borough, it is now too apparent, must succumb; humiliation is in any case hard to be borne, but how much the more so when the result of in trigue, and this, there is too much reason to believe, is our ease ; there is, however, this satisfaction, that such conduct will be remembered and judged hereafter, and if the sentence be rppropriate, it will he the banishment of Mears. Holland and Planta from this borough. From the former we had ex pected less selfish conduct, but, as to the latter, we have long heard that it is vain to attempt to wash a blackamoor white; his comuct, howeVer, merits the praise of consistency, and de ceives but few, whilst his late colleague must be content to shoulder the greatest blame. BEr.wicx, JUNE 24.—Mr. Matthew Forster, an eminent London merchant, arrived here last night, for the purpose of endeavouting to wrest ore seat from the Tories. '1 he Re formers are working - vigorously, and are confident of electing Mr. Forster, though the contest will be severe. The Tory candidates are Mr. Richard Hodgson, and Mr. Weeding, of London. - . TIVEr.TON.—Mr. Hcathcoat and Lord Palmerston will be re-netted on Monday without opposition. BORSUCII OF DERBY.—This election is fixed for Monday, the •_ 2 Bth ins'. Messrs. Strutt and Ponsonby, the late Mem bers, dill be re-elected without opposition. Both are staunch Liberals. . DERBYSHIRE, NORTHERN DIVISION.—No opposition at present to Messrs. Cavendish and Evans, the late Representa tives ; both Liberals. The election to take place July 6. SOUTH DEP.BYSHIRE was represented in the late Parliament by Sir George Crewe and Mr. Hurt, Tories, who have both retired. A contest is being carried on between Mr. Mundy and Mr. Wylie, Tories, and Lord Waterpark and Mr. Mat thew Gisborne, Liberals. The latter gentleman is brother to the late M.P. for Carlow, and is an eloquent and able man. It is expected that two Tories will not again be sent to Parlia ment for this division. The election is fixed for July 10. NOTTINGIIAM.—Mr. Walter has for his colleague Mr. Charlton, of Chiliven ; the popularity of the former gentleman i 3 much diminished, and the return of Hobhcuse and Larpent is consid-red certain. EsTErt.—So far election prospects, in this district, are looking well for the Liberal interest. In this city Lord Robert Grnsvenor and Mr. Jervis have not yet had an opponent. The Noble Lord arrived. in this city on Saturday evening last. During the week he has been sedulously engaged in assisting Mr. Wilbraham in his canvass for the southern division of the county. Mr. Jervis arrived yesterday morning at eleven o'clock. An opposition was threatened in the person of some unmentiOned gentleman, who was announced as a " Repre sentative," and not as a candidate; but at the hour of going to press he was still non est. There can be no doubt of the re election of the oh} Members. Mr. Wilbraham's canvass goes on prosperously for South Cheshire. Fur North Cheshire our accounts are highly favourable to the re-election of the Hon. Mr. Stanley, who has been appointed Paymaster of the Forces. — Chester Chronicle. lIIG II \%YCOMBE, JUNE 25.—The writ arrived last night, and this afternoon it was read in the market-place, and the returnin,g officer has appointed next Wednesday for the day of nomination, and the polling will take pla e the next day.

SCOTLAND. DUNDEE.-Sir Henry I'arnell has signified his intention through his agents, of retiring from the representation of this burgh. A public meeting was held On Saturday, at which Provost Johnston presi !cd, called to consider what steps should he. taken for the return of a fit and proper person to represent Dundee in Parliament, when, after a long &sees sion, it was agreed to appoint a committee of forty to carry the views of the meeting into effect. The Dundee Courier states that the Committee have made application to Sir Wil liam Moleswcrth, Mr. Smith of Manchester, Alderman Cob den, and Mr. Grote, to offer themselves as candidates, and to Mr. Hume, to famish them with a list of such as he might consider eligible. It also states that a requisition is in course of signature calling on Mr. George Duncan, merchant, to stand for the burgh.—Edinburph Courant. DAYS FIXED FOR ELECTIONS.

POPULATION OF INVERNESS.ACcOrdin to g the census just taken, the population of the p arish an d burgh of Inverness, which in 1831, was 14,324, is 'now 15,303, being an increase of 984 in the ten years.

In the burgh, within the Parliamentary boundaries, there are 5,067 males, and 6,508 females, which gives a population of 11,575 to the Parliamentary burgh, in which there is an excess of 1,441 females over males. The population of the burgh, within the Royalty, is 9,057, of which 3,933 are males, and 5,124 females ; excess of fe:nalcs 1,191. rATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.---This mo :nin , a vcry stiff b re eze blew from the &S.W.

EVEN IN& EDITION. ITS ELECTION. WARD OF FARRINUDON-WITHOUT. A meeting of the Electors of the Ward of Farringdon• without, was held at the Inquest-room, St. Andrews'-court, Holborn, yesterdw evening, for the purpose of receiving Alderman Wood, Messrs. Crawford and Pattison, and in order that measures might be taken to secure the return of these gentlemen with Lord J. Russell. The room was crowded some time before the hour (six o'clock) announced for com meneing the proceedings, and was throughout the remai n d er o f the evening filled t.-,% overflowing. Upon the molion of Mr. PONTIFEX, Mr. Deputy Elackett took the chair amidst the cheers of the meeting. Alderman Wood, and Messrs. Crawford and Pattison here entered and were received with repeated and vehement acela mations. . . The CHAIRMAN then said that as it had pleased the meet ing to place him in the chair, he would assure them he felt duly grateful for the honour. The present occasion reminded him of occuerences which had taken place ten years ago when the Reform Candidates were returned triumphantly by the Electors of the City.—( Hear, hear.) He hoped, and he be lieved, that a similar success would attend them now.— (Cheers.) If the people of England felt deeply interested on that occasion, how much more should they feel interested new when it was attempted for the first time to work some good out of the Reform Bill. He would not, however, trouble them with any further observations. Their cause would be placed in better hands than hi.. He had only to express a hope that the ward would act upon the occasion in a manner worthy of the importance of the present crisis. —(Cheers. Mr. PRENDERGAST, the Barrister, then came forward and said, that they had met upon that occasion to welcome their candidates, and to meet those who were soon, he believed to be their representatives.—(Cheers.) If there were to be a contest for tee City (and of that he very much doubted), he thought that the issue could not be for one moment doubtful. —(Loud cheers.) It could not be doubtful, because the Whigs and the Tories cf . the City had all resolved that an al teratu n .:f the Cern-laws should take place.—(Cheers, and a cry of " No.") Repeated addresses from the citizens of Lon don and petitions to Parliament had shown that the citizens of Lendon weie unanimous upon the subject.—(Cries of " No, no," from a very few individuals in the meeting.) He bad always understood that the citizens of London, from the first moment of the passing of the Corn-law had been unanimous in its condemnation.— ( Cheers.) '1 hey had hitherto had divisions of Whigs and Tories, and on most occasions the latter party had been sig nally defeated ; but upon the present occasion they had four candidates who did not start merely as Tories or as Whigs, but principally as men determined on altering the restrictions on thneeteszaties of life. If there were any contention, it would be between those who had the confidence of her Majesty, and also the coididence of the people—(Loud cheers)—and those who had the confidence of neither.—(RenesVed cheering.) It had been objected to tne Alinistry, that under their Adminise tration a deficiency had taken place in the revenue ; but that deficiency arose either from causes which the Tories them selves hail sanctioned, or from the passing of measures benefi cial to the people. It was because the Ministry were anxious to facilitate the connection of distant parts of the kingdom, to , give the father the means of communicating with the son, that they resolved to reduce to a small sum the charges on postage, and thus caused a deficiency in the revenue-. There were other causes to which he would wish to advert if time allowed. He should however say that the Tories were the very first to find fault with her Majesty's Government for not going to additional expense in the mantling and fitting out of our navy. But they found that when the efforts cf the navy weie required, it was able to take its usual stand as the protector of the country. With respect to the deficiencies in the revenue, they were highly honourable to her Majesty's Go vernment. There was another point to which he would with to advert—namely, that of national education. The present Government had resolved that the people of England should be educated, and not individually the member of the Esta blished Church—not the Catholic, the Dissenter, nor the Jew, but emphatically the people . of England as such—(Lond ebeets )—while the Tories declared that all out of the pale of the Established Church should remain in ignorance.—(Cries of " No, no," and " Yea, yes.") There was another question which should never be lost sight cf. He alluded to the esta blishment of the London University. 'Mere were two mis • named national Universities, those of Oxford and Cambridge; but surely they could not be called the Universities of the kingdom ? He was anxious that merit, and merit alone, should be the source of collegiate hononrs—( Hear, hear, hear) — and such being the principles upon which the London Uni versity was established, a deep debt of gratitude was due to those who established that truly national institution— (Cries of "Question, question)—in the present day—the 19th century—there was an establishment founded, where the candidate for examination, either in betany or physiology, was not obliged to express his belief in the doctrines taught in the 39 Articles.—(Cries of " Question," and " Poor-law.") The CHAIRMAN having intimated to Mr. Prendergast that the objects of the meeting bore more immediately on the ensuing election, Mr. PRENDERGAST said he was not justified in saying any thing about the Poor-laws, but if Sir Robert Peel were here himself he would pronounce an eloquent panegyric on the ope ration of these laws.—( Vehement cheering.) He (Mr. Pi en dergast) had not the slightest doubt but Sir Robert Peel would say they worked beneficially, and even that the Duke of Wel lington would admit he was ready to advocate them, and that in his personal examination of the workhouses he was highly pleased with their excellent order and arrangements.—(Loud cheers.) He should conclude by moving the following resolu • ton :—"That her Majesty having been graciously pleased to dissolve Parliament, with the view of ascertaining the sense of her people 'on matters which deeply concern their welfare,' and had expea , ed her patriotic wish that ' the exigencies of the public service would be provided for in the manner least burdenseme to the community,' and with an especial view to the paramount importance of the trade and industry of the country, it is the duty of every member of the State to respond to such beneficent intentions," Mr. Woon came forward to second the resolution. This country, as a trading and manufacturing community, could no longea he said, exist, unless such measures for a revision of our import duties were carried into effect.—(Cheers.) There was no other instance in history in which an attempt had been made to increase the revenue, and at the same time to reduce the burdens upon the people. The Legislature of this king dom had hithe. to consulted class interests ; and when, for in stance, a proposition had been made that bonded corn should he let out for the benefit of our merchants, the measure was contemptuously rejected. Was that supporting ships, colonies, and commeice? Were the millions lavished in the late war supplied by the agricultural part of the community ? No, those expenses were sustained by the nerve and arm of Great Britain, its commerce, and the industry of its manufacturers. — (Cheers. ) The Tories talked of the reduction they had made in taxation ; but was it not true that it was they who had raised the national expenditure from 20,000,000/. annually to 50,000,0001. Again in their papers, why had they not talked of the 00,000,000/. paid for the redemption of eOO,OOO slaves in our colonies ? (Oh, oh, and renewed interruption from a feW individuals.) Gentlemen would act much more fairly by listening to him, arid afterwards refUting him if they thought they could do so.—( Cheers.) He was not to be put down by interruption ; and he felt that he, and all who were there as sembled, hod a seered duty to discharge, which they should not be deterred from fulfilling.—(Cheers.) The unrepre sented millions looked to them for help, and from no other quarter otuld they obtain it. The nation at large were de termined on removing the burdens which now cramped our industry--the middle and labouring classes were united upon that subject, and with these they had a Liberal Government and a liberal and 'enlightened Qucen.—(Loud cheers.) The measures of the Government would tend to lower the prices of the necessaries of lif e and it was an undeniable truth, that lowering of prices must ever tend to an increased consumption. Was it not clear that if bread bad been last year Gd. instead of 9d. per loaf every poor man, every 9s. a week labourer, would have had an increase cf one-third in the bread consumed by his family ? That magnerihnous and upright statesman (Lord John Ilussell)—(Loud cheers) —though connected himstlf with the aristocracy, had placed himself at the head of the new movement ; and it could not, surely, be said that he had le solved on the ruin of the landed interest. Her Majesty, too, had, in the speech from the Throne, appealed to her people for the maintenance of their own tights, and the people should not now prove false to themselves. These new commercial measures would promote the interests of all parties; and prohibiting duties, while they ruined our manufactures, would equally ruin in the end the agriculturists. Let them return their three Reform candidates, and with them Lord J. Russell, a man whose name was associated with civil and reli gious liberty, and whose success would reflect honour upon them, and a ould set an example to the other constituencies of the empire. —( Loud cheers.) • Mr. Tire wished to contrediet a statement which hid been made by a gentleman who had addressed the meeting, to the effect, that the citizens of London were unanimously in favour of the commercial mearires of the Government; now he was directly opposed to those measures.—(Cheers. hisses, and great uproar.) The Hon. Gentleman then said he would put it to the meeting whether if the Corn-laws were repealed thousands of acres in this country would not be thrown out of cultivation ?—(" Yes," and " No, no.") After a scene of great confusion, Sir M. Wool), who rose amidst the loudest cheers, begged that the meeting would give Mr. Tipe a fair hearing . For his part lie should be perfectly ready to an swer any questions that might be put to him. re;u ' cn r. ed Ti h r is e belief that a repeal of the his cultivators who had of late Corn-laws would be unjust to those Inca this country. reclaimed thousands of Inrren acres soaagtainnftaerttreempiettaetdingto address the meeting, but soon :61:'el":7r are t h e best g .1 to propose the next resolution..
