EVENING EDITION nial trade. It is there that the real strength of tir,ut _Britain is to be found. It is there that an antidet2 bas been silently prepared for all the errors of our modern ommercial policy ; and it is by confounding the Growth of our distant colonies, and the immense trade • which has sprung up from: their influence, with the erects of the reciprocity system in our intercourse with the European States, that its advocates have been able to conceal from the world the real tendency of their sys tem. The number of ships built for the United King dom and its possessions in Europe is just about the same as it was twenty-five years ago, while that for the trade for the colonies, during the same period, has nearly . quadrupled." When we find our foreign trade so stationary, even D.Ln3rding to the opponents of it, it is high time we should attempt to resuscitate it, by every possible means. Tea was flat this afternoon.

The Ballot proceeded with great briskness up to half least six o'clock yesterday, when Mr. Protheroe, M.P., again took the chair, the theatre being fully crowded, and the number of electors present being certainly not less than 2,000, perhaps not less than 2,500. The side boxes were again filled with ladies, amongst whom we observA Lady Napier. The CHAIRMAN would not detain the meeting beyond stating a decision which he had come to, and which lie hoped would be considered important.—(Hear, hear.) He had not been consulted in the morning as to the manner in which it should be decided who should speak first. That was determined by tossing up a halfpenny— (Hear and laughter)—and the Gallant Commodore won the first turn both times.—(Cheers and laughter.) But if that arrangement were adhered to, it would give Mr. Young the advantage of the reply both times,- and that gentleman had put the matter into his (the Chairman's) hands, thereby imposing on him a very painful duty.— (Hear, hear.) He was guided, however, by the usage of other assemblies, and, according to that; he had thought it would be the fairest way for Mr. Young, who had the reply in the morning, to speak first in the evening, giving the Commodore the opportunity of speaking last.— (Hear, hear.) With that decision Mr. Young was satis fied.—(Cheers.) Mr. YOUNG accordingly came forward on the stage. Ho said, that whether he spoke first or last, his only ob ject was to place before the meeting a candid statement of his views and objects.—(Hear, hear.) He had left the matter to the Chairman, who, he thought, had de cided properly.—(Applause.) He had been called on to state what were his opinions as to the repeal of the Corn laws ? For answer, he might refer to the part which he took in the Anti-Corn-law League, both in London and in Manchester. He had been delegated by the vestry of Ma rylebone to represent the parish in that body, and he had there signed a resolution in favour of total repeal, and declaring a fixed duty to be a fixed injustice.—(Hear, hear.) He was therefore only in favour of the proposed alteration as a step towards total repeal. To the other measure* brought forward by the Government nobody eouid,ehject. . But at the same time that he approVed of hoee measures he was not prepared to place unbounded confidence- in the Ministry who proposed them.—(Ap ;!au.se .-.rani disapprobation.) He was the friend of con r.lext.l and progressive. Reform, which Mr. Fox had de clared to be pa=t and parcel of the British character, and he held-the opinions which Lord Grey professed in the alouee of Commons when he presented the petition of the Friends of the People--(1-rear, hear)—and which Russell expounded when he first brought in t'ee Reform Bill.—(Cheers.) He supported the Whig candidate on those prinaiples at the first election that took place in this borough—(Hear, hear)—and if any .ehange had since taken place, it was not in him.—(Hear, 13 , f.::r, and laughter.). When the Whigs passed the . lil3ll Cocri.ion - Bill, when year after year they resisted qr. Grote's motions for the Ballot, and used all their illt - hrmeo to oppose other measures of ' improvement, f riaded c+a the pr:nciples which they adroea* before they came into power, then he declared that he had not, and . , could not have any - confidence in them. Were these grounds ttaon which he v",:e.:s fairly chargeable with change of his o;inion.a?—(" NO, no.") The change had been in the Whigs, who had resorted to popular measures, for the purpose of retaining office; look at their dwindling majo ritiea.—(Hisses and •apPlause.) He challenged any one , to show in what he had changed his opinions. —(Ap plause.) It•was the Whigs, whose desertion of their opinion had caused division in the ranks of the Re :former:, and endangered the Liberal interest in that horongh.—(Cheers and disapprobation.) If however, he surrendered in the approaching contest, as he believed he should—(Cheera, laughter, acid cries of " Oh, oh) — he wetild do all he could to Lupport the gentleman who represented in. Parliament the Whig party in in Mar yleborie, so - far as' there was common „Tround upon which they could work together.—(Hear.) If he did not succeed this day, then he would give his best sup port to promote the cause of Sir C. Napier.—(Great ap plause.) He had been chosen by a large body of Re formars as the person to be put in nomination to repre aent them ; and he could not, in fidelity to them, aban don the position in which they had placed him without theirconsent, which would only be ascertained by some such proceeding as was at length resolved on. He assured Sir C. Napier that if at any of his meetings he had let - Tall any expression which gave the Gallant Commodore pain, he'ri-gretted it.—(Rear.) rut he believed the Gal lant Otlicer did not agree with him and his friends in all points ; certainly not as to the conduct of the Ministers. Sir C. NA PIER—Yes, I do.—(Laughter, and cheering.) Mr. Yong—The Gallant Commodore was reported to have said that he and his friend Mr, Wall had mis represented him. But he had heard the Gallant Commo dore say at the Yorkshire Stingo, and he was so reported in all the papers, that the evils of the Poor-law Act were owing to the guardians of the poor who did not do their clut,y,•and that the limit was not in the principle of the Poor;;Iaw. Sit ; C. NAPIER—That is not correct.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. YouNG had so understood him, and so all the re portm; seemed to have understood him. They who framed the New Poor-law proposed that its object was tora,ise Men from the condition of parish paupers to that of independentlabotwers.—(Cheers and disapprobation.) 13ut what were the means adopted for carrying out that object ?—(licar, hear.) The institution of a central board of three Commissioners with despotic power 6, ueh as no man or set of men should exercise in a free country—such as the Legislature had no right to confer upon them.—(Cheers.)

Mr. Youico declined the offer, and concluded by hoping that - his friends would agree with him that, whatever . - night be the result of the ballot, some such manifes tation of their sentiments was necessary to the interest of the reform party in the borough. He sat down amidst much cheering. Sr C. NAPIER. (who was greeted with the most en thusiastic and reiterated cheering) said, that he was first desinius to explain something which had passed at the morning meeting, relative to his friend Mr. Young, if he might call him so—(Mr. Young here rose and bowed good-humouredly t o t h e C ommodore, w hi c h was f o ll owe d .by applause and laughter.) He had stated that Mr. Young had been three times a candidate, and that this was the fourth time. If that was incorrect, he had only to beg pardon ; but it appeared, however, that it was quite true that this was the third time of his offering himself to the electors.--(H ear , hear.) With respect to Mr. Yo ung ' s h av i ng been once a Tory, it was stated publicly at two meetings of the electors, by a gen -demi/I who, he was sure, would not be angry at his name being mentioned—it was Mr. Portwine.— (Laughter and hisses from the Youngites, and cries of " Pertwine said the truth," from some others.) Mr. PP:twine stated that when Mr. Young was Chairman of Sir William norne's Committee, he said his politics were ef'tho Wharncliffe school—(Cheers and laughter) ---and If that was not a Tory school, he did not know what was. —(Cheers.) Mr. YOUNG—I never said I was of the Wharnclifib' school, nor anything like it.—(Cheers.) Sif C. NAPIER said Mr. Young had seemed to doubt hether he (Sir C. Napier) was not still in command of a sqmtclron in the Mediterranean.—(Laughter.) To satisfy Mr. Young he read a letter from the Admiralty, dated tir hist hay, and i n f orm i ng hi m that, in consequence o . ifla ha v i ng wr i tten to their Lordships, his private '`ti's would not allow him to sail for the Mediterranean mritte next rket be ,he and hi s re ti nue should dis iradriatorfrom... e Powerful from that da_y.—(Cheers.) „ een , a wm,.l - sr . against him was that he was say ~ n he was, an d ear-) .

Mr. Young had said that the French army was as brave as any in the world, and that flogging was not resorted to. He (Sir Charles Napier)' admitted that the French army was brave, though it hail always been beaten by the English. But they were to bear in mind that the French army was differently composed from curs. Men were raised there by the conscription, which extended to all classes of the people, from the noble to the peasant. Whereas our army was recruited from the manufacturing towns, and frequently from those persons who enlisted from idleness, and chose the army as an escape from the labours of industry.—(Hear, hear.) But in the French navy, what were the punishments? He would tell them what he had seen. The punishment was, when a man committed a fault, to tie a number of shot to his legs, and then let him drop from the yard arm into the sea, as deep as the shot would sink him.— (Shame, shame.) A man would suffer three or four dips of that sort ; and was that a punishment which they would wish to see introduced into the British Navy ? (No, no.) Mr. Young had acquired his knowledge of naval affairs in a four months' voyage, in a merchant ship, with a crew of thirty or forty men. But could he suppose that the same discipline would suffice in a ship of war, with a crew of six or seven hundred men, like the Powerful, as in such a craft ?—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Young said that the name of the merchant ship was the Victory, and he hoped, therefore, to have victory to-night ; but his (Corn. N.'s) ship was the Powerful, which, he doubted not, would make a prize of the Vie tory.—(Great cheering and laughter.) He would not say that Mr. Young perverted what he had said on the sub ject of the Poor-laws, but he would repeat what he did say, and he had never varied what he said at all the meetings, nor would he 'vary it for all the votes in Mary lebone.-ACheers.) When he was one of the Poor-law guardians in his own district, they set the mandates of the Commissioners at defiance, and allowed 6s. a week to the aged poor in out-door relief.—(Cheers.) He said that where that relief was not granted, and the condi tion of the poor was not ameliorated, it was the fault of. the guardians. He had said, also, that those who were obliged to go into the workhouses ought to find that a place of refuge and comfort, like Chelsea or Greenwich Hospital, and not a prison. This he now repeated for the sixteenth time.—(Loud cheers.) He would not go the length of repealing the new Poor-law, because he thought the abuses of the abuses of the old system were destroying the poor, and destroying the country ; but he was not favourable to the continuance of the Com missioners, as he did not think them necessary. But he could assure the meeting that neither Mr. Young nor any other man would go further than he would to secure protection, comfort, tranquillity, and happiness to the aged and industrious poor .—( Vehement cheering.) He also disapproved as much as any man of plurality and proxy voting.—(Hear.) As to the part of the Poor-laws on which Mr. Young had touched with eloquence and feeling, he would only say that he thought the law was formerly and against the man, and now it was worse against the woman.—(Hear.) He would do everything in his power to correct the injustice.— *Cheers.) r As to the rate-paying clauses, they were the worst parts of the Reform Bill, and he would do his best to get them re moved.—(Cheers.) What he had said upon the subject of an extension of the suffrage was, that so large a portion of those who now had the power of being elec tors were afraid to use their rights for want of the pro tection of the ballot, that he thought it useless to en- large the franchise until they first — got the ballot. lie was, as he had already told the electors, much more than a Whig. But he approved of much that the Whigs had done. They had given the country the Reform Bill, only for which he should not have had the honour of ap pearing before the meeting on that occasion. —(Cheers.) They had passed the Corporation Reform Bill, and other useful measures, which they would have made better if the Tories had allowed them.—(Hear, hear.) He would support them, if he should be returned, in every measure of reform and improvement, and especially in the destruction of every monopoly in the kingdom, as well as of the corn, timber, and sugar monopolies.— (Cheers.) If they did not go on in that way, he would do as much to oppose them as any civilian in the king dom.—(Cheers.) He had also stated before that he would support. a property tax, and the abolition of Church rates. He considered the former thetmost just of all taxes, and the latter a most unjust, impolitic, and irreligious impost, because no man ought to be required to pay for a Church to the doctrines of which he was opposed.— (Cheers.) He found he had now ten minutes to spare, but he had rather go to action—(Cheers and laughter)— and he had not the smallest doubt that the result of their ballot world be to secure the return of two Reformers. The Gallant Commodore then sat down amidst the most enthusiastic cheers and cries of the " Ballot." This was immediately proceeded with, and the electors came pouring in crowds from all parts of the borough to the poll. At ten o'clock the poll was closed, and the theatre, boxes and all, and even to the back of the spacious stage, was crowded to excess. We have no doubt that 3,000 persons were by this time crammed into the building, whilst a great crowd was collected in the street, anxious to hear the result. At a quarter past eleven o'clock, The CHAIRMAN announced the total number of elec tors, who had polled, to be— For Sir C. Napier For Mr. Young . 1,931 945 MAJORITY FOR SIR C. NAPIER.... 956 The announcement was received with prodigious cheer ing and some hissing. Mr. Young and the Gallant Commodore stood on each side of the Chairman, and cordially shook hands amidst reiterated cheering. Mr. YOUNG then said, that having polled nearly one thousand votes, he hoped that was sufficient to justify him in supposing that he was supported by a large body of the Reformers.—(Hear, hear.) But he would now abide by his pledge, and give every support in his power to Commodore Napier—(Cheers)—and he called on all his friends to do the smile. The Hon. Gentleman was enthusiastically cheered. Sir C. NAPIER then came forward and thanked the electors for the honour they had done him. lie had next to thank Mr. Young for his honourable and sincere con duct throughout the day's proceedings ; and if he (Sir C. Napier) should be called away upon the service of his country he hoped the electors would give him (Mr. Young) his due, and return him to Parliament.—(Cries of " You're both trumps.") He recommended the electors that although they had now a fair prospect of beating the Tories, who would retire from the field if they saw that meeting, yet unwearied exertion was still necessary to secure the victory.—(Cheers.) Thanks were then voted with vast applause to the Chairman, whO, in' acknowledging the compliment, said that he had been one of the, twelve Members of Par liament who voted for the ballot on Mr. O'Connell's motion—(Cheers)—and the proceedings of this day more than ever convinced him of the efficiency of that mode of voting. Hehighiy cornplimental the two candidates on their candid and honourable conduct, and was loudly cheered. After several rounds of cheers for Napier and Young alternately the meeting separated. THE ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN AND THE LAW OF MARRIAGE. TO THE 'EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,---You are at liberty to refer to me as approving of the abolitions of the restrictions on marriage to which you allude. As no clear and strong case has been made out of important advantage to the public from such restrictions, I stake my stand on the broad general principle that every restriction is an evil in its4l; that political liberty (a; Paley observes) consists in a man's being subject to no restriction that is not counterbalanced by a greater amount of public advantage : that the general rule, ac cordingly, should be to let-every one do as he pleases, the burden of proof lying upon the advooates of any restriction to show its necessity. This principle, when stated generally, most persons will, I think, admit. They would acknowledge that a man ought not to be deprived of his liberty of action merely on the ground that he might not make that use of his liberty which all, or the majority, of bis neighbours, might think the best, but merely when some serious positive detriment was likely to arise to the public or to his neighbours. In particular instances, however, men are sometimes apt to lose sight of this principle. In the present case, for exampl e , if, although several worthy and respectable persons (as is undoubtedly the fact) approve of the mar riages in question, a considerable majority, as is probably and natural resultdisappro ve s of them, houldbe, the case, r r think the s sh fair uld h s a o t m t h e os m mighta be prohibited, on the ground that the minority s h ou ld give w a y to t h e majority. Now , I should consider this a case of oppression of the minority by th e majority —which is no less unjust than the converse converse case. I should say that the fair and n a tu ra l a result would be (supposing - lways n o c l ear case o f pu bli c inconvenience to b e made out) be left at liberty. Those who approve that both pa r ti es s h ou ld mar riage would then be free to contr o f suc h a it when they might a think pro fro p m it.er ; and those w h o di sapproved of it might b What may be called a meddling system of government, amounts practically to a most intolerable tyranny. If the _Legislature of a country consisted o f the a m n o ny. s disin terestedt and public-spirited men, but wh o s h ould thiiik it their duty to compel by law every indi v id ua l to do everything that might seem to them best, and to prohibit ' every one from taking any step which they might not think advisable, it would be found, I.believe, that even the government of selfish oppressors would be preferred to this. And yet, I believe, in the present case, th e quest i on appears to many men's minds to be, whether the mar riage with a deceased wife's sister be or be not desirable. Suppose it decided in the negative ; most people would decide also against the desirableness of a marriage where there was a very4 4 7reat disparity of years or of station, o r where there i a .taint of insanity, or other hereditary disease, or where thee is adequate provision for chil dren,' no &c. Yet how intolerable would be a syst em o f legislation which, in these and similar cases, should un dertake to prescribe the conduct of every individual. A society so governed would resemble those children who, ;:o insure their straight and perfect growth, are from their infancy so swaddled, bandaged, and ironed, as ef fectually to prevent the full development and . free use of all their members. I have been proceeding all along on the supposition that no sufficiently strong case has been made out to jus tify departure in this matter from the general rule of non-restriction. As for the allegations from the Levitical law, if any one brings them forward in sincerity, he should be pre pared to advocate adherence to it in all points alike ; among others, the compulsory marriage of a brother with his deceased brother's widow, The only objection, which, at the first glance, appears to have any plausibility, would be y perceived, I think, on a very little reflection, to be extremely feeble—namely, the supposed advantage (under the prohibition of such mar- riages) of a widower's being enabled, w ithout scandal, to reside with his deceased wife's sister. In fact, nothing more effectually guards against any such scandal than its being known that if any were so disposed, they were at liberty to marry. But as for any abhorrence of cohabitation between them as monstrous and unnatural being created by a law prohibiting their marriage, no law can be more absurd. The law does not permit a woman to marry during her husband's life-time ; yet this does not obviate the scandal that would arise from the unrestrained familiar intercourse of a young married woman with another man. Although, therefore, there would probably be many persons who would think the marriages in question unde sirable, I cannot think that any reasonable man, keeping in view the general principle I set out with, can think that a sufficiently strong case has been made out for Legisla tive interference with individual freedom of action.

These popular races commenced yesterday uuder the most favourable circumstances as to weather and com pany, and the sport, if of less importance than some of the great events decided at Epsom, Ascot, and other places within the metropolitan range, was excellent in its kind, and plentiful enough to keep the spectators on the qui vice until near six o'clock ; it had the re commendation of a handicap on the fashion able plan, to which sixty-two noblemen and gentlemen Lad subscribed, realising to the win ner about 6001., a sum infinitely superior to anything pre viously run for on Moulsey Hurst.

A short time back two valuable horses were stolen from a paddock at Croydon, in which they had been placed by Mr. Turner, their owner. Information was given to the police, and tke particulars of the rob bery were immediately transmitted in the Hue and Cry by the railways to the constables of the different towns in the country, and the information was conveyed by the Birmingham Railway, among others, to the constable of Henley-on-Arden, in Warwickshire. It appeared that the thief, immediately after taking the horses, started off across the country, by way of Kingston and Uxbridge, and made the best of his way down the North-road, and proceeded to the town of Henley, but the railway train being the fastest traveller, had prepared a rather un welcome reception for him, for the constable, being on the look-out, immediately suspected that the horses were the same as those stolen from Croydon, and he accord ingly took them, and the man who was with them, into his charge, and gave information to Mr. Turner, who sent a man down to Henley, and he immediately identi fied the that horses ftS the same at had been stolen, and the next day the prisoner was ta k en b e f ore a agistrate, and folly committed for trial. HALL AND NAPIER. THE COMMITTEE of UNITED RE FORMERS of the BOROUGH of MARYLEBONE congratulate the Liberal Electors on the entire cessation of that disunion which threatened again to place in the hands of the Tories a partial representation of the Borough. The Committee cannot refrain from expressing their thanks to Mr. G. A. Young for the honourable manner in which he withdrew from the contest and enrolled his name amongst the supporters of Sir Benjamin Hall and Sir Charles Napier. The Committee call upon those zealous Reformers who attended the Ballot at the Colosseum, to use their individual exertions in carrying out the object of that meeting. Let each Elector feel the responsibility that attaches to his position, and let us all come forward with one voice, and secure the return of oar tried and respected Representative Sir Benjamin Hall, and the Gallant Commodore Sir Charles Napier. J. DRAKE, • Hon. Secretaries. J. IVINIE V, Cafe, Colosseum, New Road, June 17, 1841. TO THE REORAIERS OF MARYLEBONE. GENTLEMEN,— T Beg to return my sincere thanks for your kind - -A- ness in placing me at the head of the Ballot last evening. The very honourable retirement of Mr. Young in con sequence has put an end to our divisions. I have new a fair stand-up fight with the Tories, in conjunction with your ex cellent representative Sir Benjamin Hall, and I have only to make Lord Nelson's last signal—" Marlyebone expects every man to do his duty." I beg to repeat to you my political opinions. I shall support the proposition of the Government for cheapening bread and abolishing monopolies. I am an advocate for the Ballot, for the Extension of the Suffrage, for shortening the duration of Parliamen ts, for doin g away the rate-paying clauses of the Reform Act, and for abolishing the Church-rates. I am an enemy to the impressment of seamen, and desire to see amelioration of their condition, which must lead to the abo lition of corporal punishment. I wish to see the aged and the infirm poor receive out-door relief, and those who are compelled to take refuge in the Unions, to be treated in the same manner as the pensioners of Green wich and Chelsea Hospitals now are. The Unions should be considered as Clubs established for the benefit of the poor, and not as prisons for their punishment. I shall strictly watch over the interests of your borough, and will endeavour to preserve the privileges you enjoy under your Local Acts. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, CHARLES NAPIER. No. 67, Baker-street, June 17,1841. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. THE Requisition to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, signed by 5,000 Electors, requesting his consent to be put in nomination as a CANDIDATE to represent our Me tropolitan City in Parliament, has been responded to by his Lordship in a manner at once consistent with our anticipations of his high-spirited and disinterested character, and gratifying to our most ardent ,hopes. No private considerations have been permitted to interfere with the sense of public duty or with the call made upon his Lordship by the Electors of London. A Member of the House of Russell, a name sanctified in the estimation of every English man by its memorable 'connection with the Civil and Religious Liberties of his country • the author of the Reform Bill, the measure by which your right of exercising that judg ment to which we now appeal, has been either created or secured ; the Ministerial Leader, under whose firm and able direction the legitimate fruits of Reform have been gradually developed ; the intrepid Statesman, who has crowned a long, series of valuable public services by the recent proposal of mea sures, the just and necessary results of the Reform Bill, founded upon the principle of Free Trade as opposed to Monopolies, and the promotion of the general and public good as opposed to the unjust protection of particular interests, has placed himself, and the fate of the measures with which he is now identified, in your hands. The first City of this great Empire in point of importance, you will also be the first in point of time, to pass your judg ment upon the question now submitted to the Electoral body of the United Kingdom. Your position is an important one ; your decision must powerfully influence the result of other elections. Approach the question now before you with the calm ness and the solemnity which belong to the momentous con.e quences which are at issue ; and let your decision be consistent with that unalterable attachment to the principles of enlight ened liberality and equal justice, in every branch of our legis ,ation, which has always distinguished the citizens of London. A great crisis in our financial and commercial affairs has ar rived ; of this fact no reflecting man can entertain a doubt. Our commerce requires the most fostering care to maintain a progressive prosperity commensurate with the continuous and fearful increase of our manufacturing population; foreign na tions, profiting by the opportunities of peace, are becom ing our rivals in the markets of the world ; and, jealous of our restrictions and protections, they are driven in self-defence to retaliatory measures of the same character; the stability of our monetary system is en dangered by the sudden and violent convulsions of our foreign trade, engendered by a false system of artificial interference and partial protection, whilst our manufacturers are pining under an insufficient demand and falling prices for their pro ductions, and our industrious population is subjected to the evils of irregular and insufficient wages, aggravated by an arti ficially high price of the necessaries of life. Why is it, with the multiplied advantages which this country possesses— skill, capital, machinery, coal, means of communica tion by land and by sea, intelligence, industry, and a moral tone of feeling superior to most other countries, we are still thus distressed? It is because, in the vain hope of serving a few favoured interests, we inter fere with trade, and make that, which can only exist in a healthy state when left free to pursue its own objects, the subject of restrictions equally absurd and unjust. To meet these complicated and growing difficulties a system of measures has been proposed, by which we firmly believe that a moderate and compai atively steady price may he secured to the necessaries of life, without permanent injury to the agricultural or other interests of the country ; by which the foreign demand for the products of our manufacturing industry may be extended, the profits of capital raised, and the field for the employment of our population ex. panded ; whilst at the same time our friendly relations with foreign countries will be strengthened by the increase of mutual intercourse productive of reciprocal benefits, and the necessity for the imposition of further burdens upon the people, in the form of taxation, will be either altogether obviated or g: catty diminished. A Ministry instructed in these wise and patriotic purposes by a formidable combina tion of party-spirit and class-interests, has made its solemn appeal to the country ; and it now rests with those who are the final depositaries of political power, the Constituencies of the kingdom, to decide upon what principles they will henceforth be governed. The issue is now in the hands of the Electors ; the question before you is plain, simple, and distinct. You have to decide between Monopoly on the oue hand and Freedom on the other ; that monopoly which has been justly described as the parent of scarcity, of dearness, and of uncer tainty, and that free commercial intercourse by which alone the prosperity of nations can be permanently sustained. In 1831, the battle was fought in defence of the Rotten Boroughs, the fortified entrenchments of Monopoly and Class interests; and the Citizens of London nobly bore their part in the victory of that day. The same principle has again reared its demon form in de fence of laws by which the public interest is unjustly injured for the benefit, supposed rather than real, of a few ; and again the Constituency of London is called upon to be foremost in the fight and to do its duty in the great cause of liberality and justice. You have before you the grounds en which we solicit your aid and co-operation in the great cause in which we are em barked—look also to the consequences of hesitation or indif ference. If the measures proposed by our present Ministers, and which are now submitted to your judgment, be rejected, to what alternative mast we look ? Read the addresses of the Tory candidates : do you find in them the suggestion of any real and definite means by which the difficulties of the country are to be met and overcome ? Do they contain anything but dextrous ambiguities, and phrases, the only effect of which is to conceal the meaning of those who use them ? Turn again to the speeches of their leaders in Parliament : do you there meet with anything more substantial or satisfactory ? Do they not find fault with everything, and suggestnothing ? Deceive not yourselves, Electors, nor suffer others to de ceive you. If the opponents of the existing Government are thrust into power, either the present measures will, under acme specious disguise, be carried by those who are now the loudest in denouncing them, in which case not only the efficacy of the measures themselves will be impaired, but all confidence in public men will be utterly subverted ; or, in place of the wise and beneficial policy now recommended to you, we must look for a heavy increase of direct taxation, accompanied by the retention of those commercial fetters by which your power of sustaining even your present burthens is seriously crippled. Electors ! we feel assured that this appeal will not be made to you in vain. We can be impelled by no motives, we can have no interests to consult, but those which are common to the electoral body at large. In pledging ourselves, individu ally and collectively, to shrink from no sacrifices, and spare no exertions by which we can promote the triumphant return of Lord John Russell, we are imposing upon ourselves duties which no ordinary considerations would induce us to under take : but we do it under a deep and well-considered convic tion that the measures of which Lord John Russell has been the proposer and most powerful advocate, are founded upon principles of wisdom and justice, and that they are equally essential to the present relief and to the permanent welfare of the country. By reforming our commercial code, with a view to the ulti mate adoption of the principles of free trade, we believe that the resources of this country and the happiness of its people are still susceptibl -.: of an almost indefinite development; whilst from the absolute and contemptuous rejection of all measures directed to the removal of monopolies and the reduction of vexatious imposts, which we have recently witnessed, we can anticipate nothing but the continuance and further increase of our present difficulties, the augmentation of our fiscal burdens, the exasperation of commercial and national jealousies, that prosperity, which we might have enjoyed, passing away to other lands, and, in the end, danger to the peace and safety of the empire. From such calamities may the wisdom and independence of the Electoral body at the present crisis prove to be a sufficient safeguard ! We shall do our duty, and we call upon the Elec tors at large to co-operate with us, by using every effort to se cure the return of Lord John Russell, and of the Candidates who are now associated withhim, in support of principles upon which our fate as a great wealthy, and powerful nation depends. 11.

Fellow-Citizens, — As the representatives of an Association rendered powerful by its continued advocacy of . principle, we beg leave to address you on this occasion, believing that more good can be effected at the next Election, that the people may derive more real benefit from that event, than they have from any preceding one, if they take a prudent and decisive step. We are most anxious to throw our influence in the scale, to rouse them to a sense of duty, that their energies may be em ployed in repelling the insidious attempts of those who are en gaged in sowing discord and strife, that they may the more eassly divert the minds of the people from the great object they are in pursuit of. We are not about to enter into a disquisition on the correctness of our principles—that has been fully esta blished nor on the soundness of the measures pro posed by her Majesty's Ministers. We are confident some thing must be done, in the present state of parties, to pro mote the cause of Reform, and put down the common enemy —and this can be done only in proportion as we are disposed to unite with those who have the cause at heart, and who are willing to unite with us, to secure the return to Parliament of such men as have by their actions proved themselves to enter tain a regard for the rights of the working classes. We cannot withhold the fact, that attempts are being made to demoralize the people with feastings, and many other species of corruption. None of our party will be so duped. We exhort them to use any influence they may posse s s ov er the minds of the un wary, and induce hll, for the honour of our cause, and the memory of those whose lives have been spent in its advo cacy, and who would rather at any time have sacrificed those lives, than have lived a disgrace to the principles they professed. We urge them by these, nay, by the most endearing ties that unite them in the various relations of life, to take up this sub ject, not merely on a political, but on a moral ground, and show those would-be " Conservators of morality and religion," that though they cannot successfully appeal to our reason and intelligence, they shall not succeed in an appeal to our passions ; that we are determined, from this time, till the election is over, to take a stand against everything like corruption, as well as intimidation; to use our influence, individually and collectively, in opposing all attempts to debase the minds of the people, and render them in any way subservient to party per- Pr!' We differ it, many most important points from the two can didates, Lord Duncan and Mr. Roebuck ; yet it does appear, that under existing circumstances, it is a matter of duty as well as policy, to combine our exertions, for the purpose of se curing their return, more especially hen we remember that in the late division of the House of Commons mans of the Liberal Members voted for Duncombes motion for the return of Chartist prisoners, whilst the Tot ies to a man opposed it. As a body we have a great electoral influence, and it should be our object to use that influence so as to gain the esteem of others ; to create a powerful public opinion in our favour; so that by these means we may advance the principles we advo cate. In order to do this it is necessary that those who have votes should be duly canvassed and advised with, that they may be prepared to take advantage of any circumstances that may arise. For the above purpose two persons from your own ranks are already appointed to wait upon you. Friends,--Be firm and united; we has e an important duty to discharge to ourselves and to our country. Let us discharge that duty with honesty and manly independence ! Faithfully, your Radical Brothers, J. TWITE. Treasurer. C. CLARKE, Sec. R. K. PHILP, G. BARTLETT, H. BARTLETT, T. BOLWELL, C. BOLWELL, J. HOPKINS, Members of the Council. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Observing a paragraph in the Times of yesterday, purporting to give correct information respecting the probable result of the struggle now commenced here between the enemies of the people, alias monopolists, on the one side, and the friends of the people, alias anti-monopolists, on the other, which paragraph ends with a barefaced lie, to the effect that —"Mr. Dashwood (the Liberal Candidate) has not been accompanied by a single respectable man during his canvass, but by factory children, poor deluded wretches in abnntlance,' I think it as well to inform you of the real state of the cue, and leave your readers to judge how weak must be the cause that requires the aid of such gross and palpable false hoods to prop it up. Mr. Dashwood is accompanied on his canvass by gentlemen of the first standing, and the largest pro perty of any in this town or neighbourhood; and though he may not boast of ' having the company of many of the gentlemen in black, whose interest it is to prop " the Church in danger," he has in his train members of the community of a far more useful class— . men of influence, who are at all times ready to put their shoulders to the wheel when the State coach requires it, and help it out of the " slough of despond " in which it has of late, by the lukewarnmess of the friends of Reform, and the never-ceasing, untiring perseve rance of the Tories, well nigh stuck fast. But the working men of Lancaster are one and all for the onward movement, and cheap bread is to them of far more importance than the support of the Church in danger, which seems to be the only thought of the two Conservative candidates. One thing you may depend on, and that is, that either Mr. Green, or Mr. Marion, must and will go to the wall. The enthusiasm for Mr. Dashwood is real and gratifying in the extreme, and will only be increased the more the nearer the day of polling is at hand. Though the Times may speak sneeringly of " factory chil dren," and call them " poor deluded wretches," they are ne vertheless likely to find a Representative in the person of Mr. Dashwood, whose pleasure it will be to advocate for these " poor deluded wretches" a total change in the law relating to Corn, which will, I hope, have the effect of filling the bellies of these said factory children, and reducing the taxes which so hardly press on the manufacturing popula tion in this and other counties, and though the Tory scribes may write falsehoods, Tory Peers vomit spleen, Tory Peels madden at the thought of a Repeal of these damning Corn laws, and Tory parsons in electioneering speeches forget the prayer " Give us this day our daily bread "—spite of all these Tory efforts, there is a spirit abroad that will most assuredly disperse these Tory machinations, and " the voice of the people " will with power shout aloud " Down, .down with the Corn-laws ;" and the people will ultimately succeed. Your insertion of these remarks, if at a.l likely to serve the interest of the cause you and all good men have at heart—the Repeal of the Corn-laws—will oblige yours respectfully, A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. Lancaster, June 11. ELECTIONS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Bury St. Edmund's, Wednesday, June 16, 1841; This day Mr. Horace Twiss, of boroughmongertng noto riety, attempted to enlighten the Suffolk farmers on the sub ject of the Corn-laws, in front of the Corn .Exchange, Bury St. Edmund's. A great many very respectable people as sembled, and Mr. Horace Twiss began by telling them that there was a conspiracy in the north to ruin them ; that the Government were weak enough to listen to the conspirators ; that every farmer would have to sell all his stock ; that he would not get the value of an old song for it ; and that they would have to emigrate to Canada ; and that so intent were her Majesty's Ministers on ruining absolutely the farmers, that with that view they had arranged to alter the Timber Duties, so that they could not get rid of the produce of the forests they would have to clear there ! The lion. Gentleman met with a cool reception, and after having proceeded thus far was deserted by the farmera r who exclaimed, as they we n t awa y, " Trash!' '" He's overdoing it," &c. He then went on to fay that the alteration of the sugar duties would not benefit the people, while it would ruin the planters and the negroes, who produced it not only by the sweat of their brow, but by their blood. There was no occasion for it, as, since the eman cipation, sugar had increased in quantity and decreased in price, and was doing so every day ; that the Tories had given twenty millions to emancipate the slaves, but that her Majesty's Mi nisters were doing all they could to encourage the odious sys tem of slavery !! Beyond this the endurance of the people could not go. The falsehoods were too barefaced, even for the most ignorant. One general shout of opposition was sent forth, and continued till Mr. Horace Twiss was compelled to make his bow amid the execrations of a large assembly. Mr. Horace Twiss is the mouthpiece and protege of Lord Jermyn, and Mr. Browne, shoemaker ; and aspires tobe the representa tive for Bury St. Edmund's. But a most disgraceful defeat awaits down will be t o ensure the return of two R e f orm G ent l emen , and the only good that he will de by coming in the persons of Lord Charles Fitzroy, and Mr. Rowland Gar diner Alston, who have met with the greatest success in their canvass. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT. HEREFORD, TUESDAY.—The canvassof 14. Clive and Mr. Hobhouse has been most successful. Burr, the Tory, has no chance. Upwards of 500 electors and freemen have promised Clive and Hobhouse, and they are sure to be returned. Burr was returned by nine only last time, and polled but 430 votes. FINE ARTS.--We have been favoured with a private view of a picture, executed in a new style of painting, which, at this age of thirst for novelty and excitement, is calculated, we think, to produce some sensation. The subject is the Destruction of the Disobedient Prophet. The painting exhibits a high proficiency in the great elements of the art, but it displays certain novel accessories of an extraordinary character. It u n it es t h e realit i es o f- scu lpture w ith th e chiaro oscuro o f th e pictorial art. Th e ex hibiti on i s ca ll e d Kalorama ; but, if we had to define this new style of art, we should call it Relievo Painting; the objects in the foreground and middle distance being brought forward to the eye. The effect, especially as regards water and f ores t scener y, w hi c h i s in some degre e di oramic, is exceeding l y agreea bl e an d strik ing. It posse sses t h at charm of reality which, to be fully un derstood, must be seen, and cannot be adequately decribed. There are som e smaller pictures in the same style in this exhi bition, which occupies the rooms of the Water-colour Exhibi tion, in Old Bond -street. It is moreover rendered more attractive by a dioramic painting of Roslin Chapel by moon light ; a grand historical painting, of colossal size, after the best school of French art ; and a variety of select gems by the old masters. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.--011 Monday, the 14th inst. at St. George's Hanover-square, by special license, by the Hon. and Rev. Edward Moore, Canon of Windsor, Henry Hut c hi nson H am ilt on O'Hara, Esq. of Ceaig billy, county of Antri m , t o Ali c i a I s abella, youngest daukliter of the late Lieut,-General th e Ron, Sir blenry King, 0.13,8. TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE FAITHFUL CITY OF WORCESTER. GENTLEMEN', THE retirement from Parliament of Colonel Davies, will, at the ensuing General Election, impose I upon you the necessity of selecting sonic other individual to whom you will confide the important trust which your long- i tried and justly-valued Representative is about to resign. Encouraged by the favourable opinion communicated to me, by several of the members of your highly-respectable consti tuency, I venture to present myself . to your notice, and re spectfully to solicit your suffrages, that I may, as his successor, represent your faithful City. While thus soliciting your support, I am fully aware that the privilege and duty of electing Members to serve in Parlia ment, at all times important, are rendered so at the present crisis to a degree which at no period of our history has ever been surpassed. As I have sat for some time in Parliament, my name and the general character of my political principles are perhaps not altogether unknown to some of you. But on the present most important occasion, and soliciting for the first time the honour of a connection with your city, it is fit that I should make some more particular and distinct avowal of say politica) sentiments. I declare myself, therefore, to be a steady, persever ing Reformer, at all times desirous of maintaining and preserving the institutions of our country by adapting and restoring them to their original objects, and by purifying those institutions from the detects and abuses which the progress of time, the I changes in the state of society, or the selfish purposes of sue. cessively dominant parties, may have created ; believing as I do that the blessings of the Constitution can be perpetuated only by seasonable and timely reparations, and that without such reparations, and without a proper and judicious adaptation of its true principles to the present circumstances of the com munity, even its most valuable parts may be perverted into po sitive evils. I first sought a seat in Parliament for the immediate purpose of adding my humble aid to the promotion of the cause of civil and religious liberty ; and I have constantly, and, I trust, con sistently, persevered in furthering those objects, while, at the same time, to the Church I have been a determined friend, and of which I shall ever continue to be a steady defender ; conceiving, however, that I best discharge the duties of those characters, and that I act most in accordance with the prin ciples upon which that Church is based, by recognizing the rights of all to liberty of conscience, unaccompanied by civil disability, and unstained by degradation of any kind. The proposed alterations in the Corn-laws, and in restrictions upon other branches of trade, demand especial and explicit no tice ; I, therefore, beg to state, that I entertain the opinion that the country cannot too soon regulate its commerce gene rally upon principles more enlarged and liberal, and directed to the promotion of the greatest possible good to the community at large, and to the abandonment of the false system of sacrificing one class of the community to another—a system which experi ence has shown, not only fails in attaining its partial and unjust object, but is productive of evils never contemplated. At the same time, I admit, that justice requires that the necessary al terations in the laws should be made with due caution, that they may not injure the classes or individuals whose pursuits and en gagements have been regulated with reference to the existing laws, and without just ground to anticipate any immediate change in those laws. I appear before you, soliciting the free and unbiassed votes of every member of your Constituency, expressing my abhorrence and repudiation of coercion and intimidation in every form. Long, indeed, have I opposed the exercise of such unrighteous means, and too long have I been witness to the cruelty and the evils which it inflicts. Ido not hesitate, therefore, to declare my intention to continue to vote for Election by Ballot, not insensible that some evils may be inseparable from the system, but feeling that such evils are less than those produced by the present course of unjustifiable interference and persecu tion, rendering, as it does in many instances, the Elective Franchise, intended by our Constitution to be the most honour able badge and possession of a freeman, an evil to its possessor, and converting it into an instrument of his oppression and degradation. Such, should I be honoured with your confidence, are the public principles by which my Parliamentary conduct will be regulated. Co the local and particular interests of your faith ful City, and its Inhabitants, you shall also find me zealously de voted. The trust which I now solicit at your hands I shall regard as of the highest value, and your kindness in conferring it, as binding me, by every tie of duty and gratitude, to main tain and defend it on all occasions to the best of my abilities, and, whenever the season shall arrive, render it back to you unimpaired. Immediately my public duties will permit I shall appear before you, when I shall be ready and anxious to afford such further satisfaction as any of the Electors may desire, and shall have the honour to renew, in person, my solicitation for your favour and support. In the meantime I Leg to subscribe myself with great re spect, Gentlemen, Your most devoted and very humble Servant, THOS. WILDE. 29, Dover street, London, June 15, 1841.
