The Sun. — London, England, 1841-07-07 00:00:00

MOR:I 4, TING SUN and important struggle was in p ogress, and, that his views I might not be mistaken, he would shortly state what they were. He wished for the total repeal of the odious and oppressive Corn-laws.—(Load cheers.) He was for vote. by ballot — (Cheers)—for short parliaments, and an extension of the suf frage.—( Great applause.) These were the principles which he would stand to, and, as one of the representatives of the county of Somerset, no consideration should ever induce him to swerve from what he deemed the right course. The Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst loud and long continued cheering. The following toasts were afterwards received with due ho nours :—" The Lord Lieutenant and Magistrates for the County and City ;" " the Liberal Electors of Bath ;" " Mr. S. Barrow, Honorary Secretary ;" the " Chairmen of the District Committees ;" " the Liberal Ladies of Bath," &c., and at a late hour the company separated, highly delighted with the evening's entertainment. KENT (EAST). CANtICRBURY.—Barham Downs was the place where the nomination of the • candidates was appointed to take place. There were not above half a dozen persons present wearing the blue colours, and the only gentleman of Liberal politics on the hustings was Sir John Tylden. Soon after eleven o'dlocic the High Sheriff, Delawar Banks, Esq., arrived. Sir EDWARD DEERING proposed Sir Edward Knatchbull. Sir BROOK BRYDGES, Bart., nominated Mr. Plumptre. Both being nominated, the SHERIFF asked if any elector had any other candidate to propose, and no answer being re turned, he declared that Sir E. Knatehbull and Mr. Plumptre were daly elected. Sir E. KNATCHBULL then stood forward, and was loudly cheered. his friends had told them that he would give au account of his steward-hip, and he would do so as short as the could. He would confine himself to the last ten or twelve years, because it was during that period that gr eg changes had been effected, and that they had been livins under new laws, and a totally different system of thing had existed.—(Hear, hear.) He dated that charge from 1529, when the Catholic Emancipation Bill was passed. In arraying himself among those who opposed that measure— (Cheers)—he had separated himself from a number of friends, but he felt that in the perfermanee of a public duty no consi deration should induce him to swerve from that course which, in his heart andhiieonseienee he believed to be - the right one, —(Applause.) After the passing of the Emancipation Bill they had the Retorm Bill, and he need not tell them the . course he thee pursued. He had since been co-operating with a party which, at first, did not ntenber amvc 100, but by a steady avowal of these prineirks whict they considered would confer prosperity and aed happinees en fie eoentry;' they in , creased in strength, and in 1834 pi on the eeath of Earl Spencer, they were intets•ed with the government of the country under Sir Robert el. He was then charged with inconsistency in taking office under that Ad mipistratiec, but he disregarded those attacks, because he was convinced that, urn all public questions, the opinions of Sir Robert Peel and his party,were sound and constitutional, and calculated to confer great benefit upon the country. With this conviction and belief, if he was to be ac cused of inconsistency, the same charge would attach itself to almost every public man who acted for what he really believed to be the good of the country.—( Hear, hear.) They would well recoliect the appropriation clause of 1834. Ihe Conser-• vative party, as a party, were infinitely the strongest ; but they had oppceed to them the Whigs, the Radicals, and the Independents, as they were termed ; but even all these found it extremely difficult to fix upon any question that could bind them together. A t last, however, they fixed on the appropriation clause ; and one of his opponents had admitted to him (Sir Edward) that it would be a long time before he had anything more to do with an appropriation clause.-e-( A laugh and applause.) An election took place, and from that time the Conservatives .had been out of office. It had since been the desire cf Sir Robert Peel to unite a body of gentlemen together who were agreed upon principles that would conduce to the welfare of the country, and strengthen the institutions of this land. The Conservatives had since continued to acquire strength, and had reduced the majority of the Government supporters, anti repeatedly during the last session outnumbered them on divisions, and at length it was seen that no principle or union guided their actions, and upon the opposition obtaining a majority of 36 over them, it was thought they would retire.--(Hear, hear, and cheers.) They did not do so, aead it was then found necessary to move a vote of want of confidence against them, and, al though, the numbers were neatly balanced, the majority of one which the Conservatives obtained rendered it necessary for Lord John Russell to dissolve the Parliament and appeal `to the people, or resign. He took the former course, and promised tnat the House should meet immediately of er the elections for business. Ile had kept one promise—he hoped his Lordship would keep the other.—(Cheers.) The Right Hon. Gcntlemah then deprecated the Budget of the Whig Chancellor of the Exchequer, and proceeded to say that if the • applic .tion of free-trade principles to agriculture was advan tageous to the country, it would be equally good when ap plied to manufactures of all descriptions.—( Hear, hear.) If they were to go to 111 , land or to Russia, or any other place for their cern, why ihonld he not be allowed to buy his hat, his coat, or his gloves where he liked ?—( Hear, hear.) With regard to the sugar question, the Government had been closely pressed upon it, and it appeared that the whole benefit that the public were to receive was about 2-1-d. per head per annum. Mr. PnoMPTRE next returned thanks, and, in doing so, said that he 1 al been taunted with having put forth in his first address that he was an unflinching Reformer.---( Hear, hear. ) He had had a fair stand up fight with his opponents in 18.37 on this subject, and he could not help regarding the renewal of the cry as stirring up an old quarrel, in which he had before been the victor, as was proved by the majority of between .800 and 900 electors who then voted for him.—(Cheers.) He never denied having used the words, and that they admitted of a double interpretation—a man who would lend his aid to endanger the stability of the Crown, or he would reform all prived grievances and abuses.—( Cheers.) He confessed be belonged to the latter class of Reformers, and it was extremely singular that his opponents; always omitted to tell them what followed the words in his address. He ldd his hand upon it the other day, and found that this fol lowed :—" I am deeply attached to the institutions of the coun -4' try, and am determined as much as lieth in me to support them."—( Cheers.) Ile contended he had carried out his pro fessions, although he admitted he had not been the advocate of revcentionary doctrines. —TM - ars.) With regard to the timber duties, the Chancellor of the Exchequer had floated his crazy craft, and left it to drift whither it pleased, for they had heard to more of that subject, except from the Whig Governor of Canada,-Mr. Poulett Thomson, now Lord Sydenham, who declared that they must not let it come near Canada, as it would, like a fire-ship, set the people of that country in flames.—( Laughter and cheers. ) Sir JOHN TYLDEN afterwards addressed the electors in, favour of the Ministerial proposals, and after a vote of thanks had been passed to the High Sheriff; and duly aoknowledged" by that functionary, the electors dispersed. EA ST GLOUCESTER (MONDAY)..-1p to the latest moment it was fully expected, upon good authority, that this important division won d not have been lost to the people's cause. The treatment which Sir John Guise, the gentleman who came forward on the Liberal interest, has received at the hands of many of thostt who have been ever considered as the staunchest supporters of the cause of Reform, appears to afford one of the moat glaring instances of the culpable negligence of our party. The entire blame was attributable to the Liberals themselves, and they may have cans! to smart for it. No other candidate appearing, Messrs. Codrington aid Charters we: e declared duly elected. The election took place yesterday. SOUTH DER BY. —The cause goes bravely on. Enthusiasm has sprung up from one extremity of the division to the other. Districts have poured forth their thousands to greet the men of the people's choice. The rallying cry goes forth famously, Waterpark and Gisborne for ever ; down with monopoly and dear food."—Derby Chronicle. SOUTH DURHAM.--It is well known that the Tory landlords are many of them m the habit of sending their tenants to the poll like cattle-droves to a market, to vete for whomsoever their lord and master wills. Mr. Farrer's Committee addressed a very insidious letter to the Bishop of Durham, asking whether his tenants and dependants had any freedom of choice. His Lordship thus wrote back : " Auckland Castle, June 28, 1841. Sir,—ln reply to the letter which rou have sent me, as Chairman of Mr. Farrer's Committee, I beg leave to inform you that I never have con sidered mys?lf at liberty to constrain any tenant or depend an t to vote in a way opposed, to his unbiassed opinion. But you are well aware that, in many instances, such persons have had but little opportunity of forming a correct judgment of what is passing in Parliament; and that various arts are resorted to in order to conceal from them the true character of pub lic men, and the real spirit of public measures. Under these circumstances, it continually happens that they are disposed to lean upon the opinions of those with whom they are connected, and who may be far more familiar with the arguments upon which public measures are defended or opposed. If any of my friends or tenantz desire to learn my sentiments or consult my wishes, I am anxious they should know that, having studied the character • and witnessed the measures of her Majesty's present Govern ment, I am decidedly of opinion that they have at once the ability and the will to promote the public good. m y warmest wishes, therefore, are for the success of all such candidat es u profess themselves friendly to this Government. And i n th e contest which unhappily has arisen in this neighbourhood, a ny riet be a the support which I can give with prop Vaney must : If, after t this se * fra rvt i c ik e of Mr. Bowes and Lord Harry avowal of my own sentiments, any application should be made to any of my tenants, I may express a . hope that the wh o l e o f what I have stated, and not a part only, may be communic a t e d to them.—l have the honour to be , Sir, your obedient DUNEL7I vit, Fammoirm.—Here the Tories were never so fleeced before.

FLINTSHIRE.—The Flintshire Tories gave Sir Stephen . Glyntee a grand feed on Friday week, but the feudal thraldom of the Tory, landlords cannot fasten upon the electoral rights of the tenantry. Mr. Mortyn's canvass is vastly encouraging. LEstrirs.—ln the Sussex Advertiser of yesterday we find the following account of the violent conduct of the partisans of the Noble Lord and the Honourable Gentleman the late Tory can didates for Lewes. It is, we fear, but a sample of what has been the conduct of the party generally throughout England :—" It is a fact that an old man between 70 and EO years of age, a tradesman of Lewes, who, being insane, has f or some wee k s b een i n Bethiem Hospital, was removed thence just before the election, and on Tues day brought to Lewes, by the Tories, for the purpose of being taken up to poll for Fitzroy and Cantilupe, and would have been taken to the poll, too, but for the de termined resistance of some of his relatives. As it was, the house was, for half an hour, a scene of complete tu mult, and the excitement to which the poor creature himself was subjected had such an effect upon him that his life has since been despaired of. These are the facts—undeniable facts—and we should be insulting every man who has the common feelings of his kind, by attempting one syllable of comment." And among the advertisements this ap pears :—" To Brewers. —Wanted a situation as brewer, by a person who has been discharged from his latesituation in con sequence of his having given a conscientious vote to the Liberal interest at the late election, and who has had the management of the brewing department in several of the most rest ectable brewing establishments in the county of Sussex. The most unexceptionable reference can be given. —Apply to Daniel Wymark, Ode, Lewes.—July 2d, 1841." KILMARNOCK. The nomination for the Kilmarnock tiis 4 r:ct of burghs took place on Saturday, at Kilmarnock, in prJsence of at least 5,000 people. Mr. Johnston was attended to the balcony in front of the Town-hall by a large number of his friends and supporters, amongst whom was Lord James Stuart, and other eminent friends of the Liberal-'cause from a distance. Mr. Colquhoua was also attended by a number of his friends. The SHERIF!' having read the writ, with the acts against bribery, &c., Mr. A. FINNIE rose to propose Mr. Colqiihcun, whom he described as an old and tried friend of the people of Kilmar pock; but be was received with so much disapprobation that we could with difficulty bear his expressions. Having Lamed Mr. Colqaboun, he sad it was of no use to hold an argument with those who were determined to do nothing but halloo and hiss. pr ge e d othe tr candidate being p ro p ose d , t h e two gentlemen named ed o address the meeting. Mr. COLQUHOUN was received with a storm of hissing and hooting, which lasted for some minutes, during which he stood with great p a ti ence waiting silence. He then proceeded :-- If Ihey wished him to speak he was read to do so ; b ut not, he A ould b e most happy to hold hia ton gue.ri o if f " Go on," and " N o , no ." ) They wets good; enough' to hear him in 1837, but perhaps they were not inclined to hear him in 1841. (No, no.) well, just as you please, Gentlemen. —( Another pause.) I have riot the power, even if I had the will, to halloo, you down..--(Cries of " Go on, but tell no lies.") Be bad heard a good deal about corrupt Government, but a Government more corrupt than the present—a Govern ment more profligate; and one that bad broken more , pledges and.promises he had never known. They promised peace, and made many remonstrances against war ; but from the in capacity of these men this country had been involved in not fewer than four wars since they came into office. They promised economy, but they had enormously increased the debt and burdens of the country.—(Another pause for silence, when a person called out, " Take off your bat," which Mr. Colqu houn did, bowing most profoundly.) Mr. Johnston was an ad vocate for the ballot. He.was not; but he was assured that if twelie men were to be drawn by ballot from the House of Coinmons, they would manage the affairs of the country with more honesty, economy, and integrity, than the present Go verninent had done. He rejoiced, however, to think that they would very soon be sent to the right-about, into that obscurity which their misdeeds deserved.—( Cries of " So will you," fol lowed by ariother lung pause.) He saw Lord James Stuart present. He did not know whether he was a Member for the Ayr burghs or not, but he should be very glad if he was. Mr: Colquhoun said they had got a great many promises from his opponent, and he would now give them one promise also. He would do all in his power to overturn the most profligate Government that ever held the reins of office.—( Great disap probation, and cries of Off, off.") He would support a Go vernment which would not talk so much about trade, but would nevertheless do much more for trade than their present Government hid ever done. Mr. Colquhoun withdrew amid a storm of hisses from the audience, which were drowned in a tremendous cheer on Mr. JOHNSTON coming forward. When the applause had subsided, he spoke to . the following effect—Gentlemen of Kilmarnock, you have heard a long speech from my opponent, Mr. Colquhouri,blarning the Whig Government for extra vagance, increasing their own salaries, and increasing your bur dens: 'Now,f gentlemen, what have the Whig Government really done?' Was it not the Whig Government that passed the Re form Bill, and gave to Kilmarnock the privilege of sending a Member to Parliament ?—( Cheers.) Was it not the Whigs who abolished the East and West India monopolies?—(Great cheering.) Was it not to the Whig Government that we owed 'the Municipal Corporations Bill, by which the people now have the appointment of their own municipal government?—(Re newed cheers:) Did the Tories ever do that ? or have they not rather opposed every measure to give popular rights, or to give the public in geheral a voice or share in the legislation of the country. Now, Gentlemen, where'are the•wars the Whig Go vernment have plunged you into? There was the civil war in Canada ; but that was the consequence of previous Tory mis rule. • A spirit had been engendered in Canada by that party ihich• it was necessary that the Whig Government should control, and I am Kapp) to say that they have controlled it.— (Tremendous cheering.) 'there was war raging in China, but that war had been the result of necessity, arising from the overbettring and insolent conduct of Lin, the Chinese Commis sioner, who had insulted our representative. This, then, was not the result of Whig mismanagement, but the result of ty ranny on the part of the Chinese Government. Again, there Was a war in Syria, but the Government of this country had in no way whatever been' the cause of it.—(Hear, hear.) It had been the result of •the policy of M. Thiers and the French Ministry, in order to embroil Europe in a general war, but which had been promptly and successfully met and defeated by the masterly policy of Lord Palmerston, and the energy and sagacity of Sir Charles Napier, and which would re dound both to the honour and advantage of this country. —( Hear, hear, and great cheering.) Now, gentlemen, although I approve of the general policy of the Go vdrnment, I am not prepared to vindicate or agree with all its acts. I blame them, because they have not gone far enough in those reforms—particularly those commercial reforms which are for the benefit of the community generally—( Hear)—and some time ago, when attending a great demonstration in favour of the abolition of the Corn-laws in Glasgow, I then stated that if the Government did not go forward with measures to carry the country out of its difficulties, the sooner Lord Mel bourne, Lord J. Russell, and the Hon. Mr. Labouchere were out of office the better.—(Cheers.) But now they had come forward uith those.measures which, if adopted, would go far to relieve the embarrassed and oppressed operations of trade and commerce in such towns as Glasgow and Kilmarnock. Now, gentlemen, we have heard a great deal of Colquhoun upon the promises —( Cheers and laughter)—but ithe had kept his promises, I would not have been here to do him honour. Mr. Colquhoun went into Parliament for the county of Dum barton, where he hoisted the flag of reform, and having got himself returned under false colours, he voted - in every case against the principles which he had professed. But wnen his time was done, did he go back to claim their suffrages? He did;not. .He dared.not. He knew he had been watched, and that he would not again be trusted. Instead, therefore, of going back to the county of Dumbarton, he came to Kilmar nock under the same flag of liberality. —( Great disapprobation. ) Gentlemen, I find that in his address to you in 1837, he speaks thus :—" I have declared my attachment to the cause of Reform, by which I do not mean the name and gene ral profession of Reform, but a searching inquiry into every department of . Government, and the firm correc tion, of every abuse. I have professed, no les; openly, my at tachment to popular rights. I never can • regard the privileges of any one class of equal importance with the rights of all classes of the people, nor will I be induced to abandon the in terests of the great body of the people, in order to promote the views of.a limited party. I regard with indifference the strug gles of party, and can take no interest in any measures whirl do not promote the welfare of the people; the measures which have this tendency alone are entitled to my support, and they shall receive it, from whatever party they originate." These are promises, Gentlemen, beautiful promisee ; and he comes now and . tells you- that he has performed what he pro mised. Let us see bow he did so. Mr. Colquhoun ratted against the abolition of Negro Apprentice ship ; thus showing himself a friend to popular rights.—(Great cheering.) He ratted against the repeal of the duty on soap, although he had promised not to abandon the interests of the great body of the people, in order to pro mote the limited ly.—(Renewed cheering. ) What we, a comes and tells you he will reform ;land ; but what does the man y, he ratted against the reform of although universally ad mitted to a far greater number of abuses th; this country.—(" Oh ! the hypocrite What faith, then, could they plat ach a man ?

And what floes jive friend of • the trade and commerce of Kil marnock and. the other burghs do ? Why, he votes against the measure?. -Nay, mere, this enemy of all monopoly, who is pledged to support ill measures of reform, along with the other opponents of the Ministry, voted want of confidence in those men who had brought forward the measure.—( Renewed cheers, followed by groans of detestation at the Torycandidate.) Mr. Johnston concluded amidst a burst of approbation. , The Sheriff then took a show of hands for the respective can didates, when not above 1 in 500 was held up for Mr. Coign houn.

He re gretted that there were not more of his opponents present, for he should not flinch from stating his political opi nions, and he almost regretted that his late honourable opponent had not gone to the poll, for he really believed if he had done so it would have prevented any probabi lity of a contest in future, as the majority that the Con servatives would havebbtained, would have convinced the Radicals that they had no chance whatever in thjst county. —(Cheers.) He would not pledge himself to the electors any more than this, that if they thought he did not, in Par liament, ;set up to his professions, the sooner they turned him out the better. He was a staunch supporter of the Throne, and, of course, at the same time, the Church, and, in upholding the union of the Church and State, he did it on the most conscientious grounds, be lieving that if the Church was deserted, all the nume rous sects of religion now in existence would struggle for the mastery with each other, and'a spirit of complete anarchy and turbulence would prevail ; and he was con vinced that it was to the interest of all that the full union of Chnrch and State should be maintained ; and they might be assured that no Government could exist without the blessing of God on .it. These being his opinions, they would not, of course, be surprised to hear that he was a firm opponent of her Majesty's present Government, who had done more to injure the Church, in the first place, than any other set of men in the coun try, and the Prime Minister himself admitted that the measure he sanctioned would be a heavy blow to Protestantism,—(Hear, hear.) His late opponent -ex plained that by this was meant Protestantism in 'lreland ; and he attempted to make out that Protestantism in Ireland and Protestantism in England were very different' things, but he must confess that he could not understand the distinction. This was their conduct to the Church, and he was prepared to contend that they had done their best to injure her Majesty in the eyes of her faithful subjects, and he himself knew that in some -parts of the country the candidates who supported Lord Melbourne canvassed the different dis tricts as the Queen's candidates, and a more unconiti tntional use of the name of her Majesty . could not pos sibly be conceived. Her Majesty's Ministers had also done more than any other set of men to injure the Con stitution, but thank God they had not succeeded, and the more they tried to do so the more they were beaten. The Hon. Baronet then alluded to the foreign policy of the Government, and said that their conductinalloWing poor M'Leod to be confined as an American prisoner merely,for ?gallantly doing his duty to his Sovereign was a stain upon the honour of the nation, and he said that all the proceedings of the Government showed it to be an incapable and unprincipled Administration, and he cited their conduct in reference to the Irish Tithe Bill and the Corn-laws in support Of . his assertion. The Go vernment was now on its trial for the third time. Upon the Jamaica question they pleaded guilty, and retired for a short time to be brought back by their ladies, when, as the 'electors would recollect, Lord Brougham said that it was the first time in the history of the country that the Ladies of the Bedchamber had been made political engines ; and he added, that although the one half went out, the better halves remained . in.—(Laughter.) Their own House of Commons had said it had no confidence in them, and they now appealed to the nation, and felt con vinced that th'e great Court of the people would confirm the verdict that had been given against them.—(Cheers.) LordMEasult.ii next addressed the electors and thanked them most cordially for the high honour they had con ferred Upon hind. by returning him - as their representa tive, and he could hardly have expected that this would have taken place .without a contest. He hardly hoped that under existing circumstances, the Conservatives would have been able to make a sufficient demonstratiin to. deter their adversaries from coming forward, and to have induced Mr. Hodges to resign, but from the returns of the canvass he was induced to believe that gentleman had adopted the most proper and honourable course as he would not have had the slightest chance of success.— (Cheers.) They were aware of his political opinions, and it 'Would be unnecessary to go into them, at any length ; .he had no past services to refer to or to give any . account of, and they must, therefore wait until he had had a trial ; and he assured them that he should always act up to the principles upon which they had returned him as their representive. He could only assure them that up to this' time in his magisterial capacity, he had endeavoured to administer justice equally to all, and to perform his duty conscientiously, and they might depend that in. hisplace in the House of Commons he would do all in his power to carry out good ;laws for the benefit . of them all. He was ardently attached to the Constitution, and he would defend it to the utmost of his power, because he believed it was the best bulwark for the protection of all their The nomination of the candidates to represent this di vision of Kent, took place yesterday, on Penenden Heath. During the last day or two it was announced that Mr. David Salomons intended to come forward and oppose the Conservative candidates, and the rumour obtained some credence, and a good many of the electors believed that he would appear at. the hustings, and this gave the proceedings some additional interest. The candidates, Sir. E.Filmer and Lord Mersham, were escorted to the place of nomination by a very numerous body of nobleman and carriages, and it was calculated that there were at least five thousand persons present. J. BEHRENS, Esq. proposed' Sir Edward Filmer as one of the knights whom 'her Majesty had that day called them together to elect, to represent them in the ensuing Parliament.—(Loud cheers..) The splendid spectacle before him showed clearly that the :Conservative opi nion entertained by Sir E. Filmer were those of the great majority of the electors, and he congratulated them most sincerely that the people of Kent at length saw their error, and they were . now about to retrieve it, _ _ interests. • He would endeavour by all means to educate the people, but he would at the same time resist all those rash experiments which many were attempting to drive on for the purpose of oversetting all the ancient institu tions of the country. In his opinion the various schemes of religion that had been recently set afloat, were the offspring of Jesuitism, having for their object, the destruction of the Pro testant faith, in order that Popery and all its horrors might be restablished in England. He came forward as an opponent to a Government which had thrown itself into the arms of :a party,•avowedly, seeking the destruc tion of the institutizns of the country, and he also came forward to represent the feelings of the Conservative majority in the county, and the result of the election showed clearly what was the predominant feeling of the electors. The Noble Lord then avowed himself an op ponent of the Government projects in reference to corn, &c., and expressed his opsnion tin* ina country that was so heavily burdened with debt, protection was absolutely necesary,,and that without it, it would be impossible to compete with the untaxed labour of foreign countries, and he concluded by again returning thanks to the elec tors for the honour they had cogerred upon him by re turning him as their representative. A vote of thanks was then carried unanimously to the High Sheriff, and after three cheers had been given for the Queen, and three for the Members who had just been returned, the eledtors separated. - • EAST SUSSEX.

BIRMINGHAM.—We are assured, on very good autho- Tity, that although there was a contest of unusual seve rity at Birmingham last week, the successful candidates have been returned entirely free of expense. The trifling costs in each ward were defrayed by the Ward Com mittees, and the General Commiteee did not expendmore than about 200/., which was the amount of the•legal dis bursements.--Birinnigham Paper. LIVERPOOL CANDIDATES.—This town has furnished,its full quota of candidates for seats haParliament, who have fought' the battle on both sides, . with various success. Our former representative, Mr. Ewart, has been re turned for, the .Dumfries Burghs, by a handsoth e majority ; his co-candidate for Liverpool, Mr. Thor nely, has .again been elected at Wolverhampton without a contest, in a manner most honourable to him self and the consitituency ; and our townsman, Mr. Rigby Wason, has once more been victorious at Ipswich. The Liverpool Conservative candidates have been less suc cessful. Mr. - Tinne, who was spoken of for Coventry and Barnstaple, neveicame to the poll, neither did Mr. Sandbach, who was mentioned as one of the candidates for Chester, The, Gladstones, who came out in great force, only carried one seat (at Newark), and that.by the favour of the,Duke of Newcastle.

Mr. HOARE seconded the nomination, and said he could assert, without any fear of contradiction, that if a contest had taken place, Sir Edward Filmer would have been placed at the head of the poll, and the Noble Lord, the second candidate, would not have been twenty votes behind him. The conduct of the Hon.

Sir W. GEARY seconded the nomination, and said, he congratulated the county, and the country at large, that they had become aware of the delusion that was intended to be practised upon them. They had not forgotten the glittering promises of peace, retrenchment, and reform made by the present Ministry when they took office, and they had had ample opportunities of seeing what was the result. The man they required to represent that great county should be a man of integrity and honour—one who would support measures and not men, and above all, one determined to uphold their glorious Constitution in Church and State. Such a man was Lord Mersham, and he had therefore great pleasure in seconding his nomi nation. LINDSEY NOMINATION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) . LINCOLN, JULY s.—Not less than 10,000 freeholders assembled in the Castle Yard this day. Lord Worsley surpassed himself in a powerful, clear, and manly speech, which was listened' to with the utmost attention, and made a deep impression on all the yeomanry pre sent. His " Conservative " opponents, Messrs. Chris topher and Cust, were lamentabiy in the back-ground ; the former saying little, and that little of the weakest and tamest description,'and the latter still less ; in good truth, literally nothing. Whatever may be the pre tensions and talent of the juvenile scion of the house of Belton in the Horse Guards, on the hustings he is assuredly not at home. Never in the whole course of our experience (and in our time we have seen many a pitiful exhibition) did we witness s uc h a m i sera bl e specimen of would-be senatorial oratory. Talk of Mr. Dawney, he is eloquence and wisdom itself contrasted with the Honourable Charles Henry Cust. Many farmers, who had been 'deluded by the gross misrepresentations recently circulated by Tory dealers • in lies, disgusted with the exhibition of Cust,land delighted-with his Lord ships' manly, Clear 'now and consistent speech, ha ve come forward and avowed themselves his warm sup porters. On a show of hands, the majorty was at least ten.to one in favour of Worsley and Reform. SOUTH LINCOLNSHIRE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) SLEAFORD, JULY s.—At the nomination for Lindsey, on the hustings, yesterday, Sir W. A. In gilby, Bart., after cha racterising H. Handley, Esq., late M.P. for Kesteven, as the best Member that ever sat in Parliament, announcedhis determination to nominate that gentleman on Wednesday next, at Sleaford, in opposition to the dictatorial attempts of Charles Chaplin, Esq., of Blankney, to foist upon " the free and independent electors " two Conservative repre sentatives in the persons of Christopher Turner, Esq., paid Sir John Trollope, Bart. The object of the Tories in this proceeding is manifest. Sir Robert Peel is doubtless at the bottom of it, Lord Brownlow, by the will of Sir Abraham Hume, being prohibited from in heriting certain lands, excepting on condition of his being elevated to a Marquisate; and having no chance und er a Whig Administ ra ti on, i s d ou bl y anxious to establish a Tory reign. Lo r d Will oug hb y d e E res by, too, has joined in this most disinterested opposition, in the hope of being created Duke of Ancaster. And has not Charles Chaplin an eye to the title' of " Baron of Blankney ?" D UNGANNON BOROUGH ELEC TION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) This day, for the first time for centuries past, was this borough contested by Mr. Falls against Lord North land and the Carlton Club. The contest continued dur ing the day, and at the, close Northland stood 56, Falls 52, which left 4 majority in favour of Lord Northland, owing to the delay of the Magistrates swearing in the Roman Catholics. Immediately on the announcement of his Lordship being so closely . hunted, the mob com menced breaking 'the houses and wißdows of those who supported Mr. Falls. Upwards of fifty houses are 4* , . etroyed, and property to a Larg,e . araoat was carried ok: • . The HIGH SHERIFF then inquired whether any other candidate was to be proposed, and being answered in the negative, he declared that Sir E. Filmer and Lord Mer sham were duly elected. Sir EDMUND FILAIER then came forward and was re ceived with the greatest enthusiasm. He said that little more was now left for him to do than to thank the elec tors for the cordial manner in which they had received THE SUN _LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 7. 1841. by those vagabonds. Those who should have pre vented it remained silent spectators of the scene. Not a prisoner was taken, although many were known. The mob continued to parade through the streets during the night, to the dread of the peaceable inhabitants for their lives, and the next morning Mr. Falls, on hearing of such awful destruction of property, and the risk of the lives of the remaining voters he had to bring forward to insure his safe return, could not be induced to go to the, poll; and after making affidavit that the lives of his voters were threatenel if t'le.y attempted to poll, very properly came to the resolution not to go on, and Lord Northland was elected. . His Lordship had for several days been regaling the Orangemen and tenantry at every cross road through the country with bread and whiskey. It will sound well in Parliament that 3,000 persons were collected, and armed with sticks cut in the park. After they had done their work, they were regaled in the public streets with bread and beer. Much to the credit of Mr. Falls, he would not allow a single friend of his to be sent through the streets, or their lives would have been sa crificed. We trust the Irish Government will cause a public investigation into such disgraceful proceedings on the part of Lord Northland and his Committee. WARWICK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - SlR—The election for. South Warwickshire has terminated, and the cid Tories are returned, but you will be pleased to learn that our electors feel their own degradation, and that a gentle hint has this morning been given which, if carefully followed up, must convince our nominal members that their minds must expand, and ,that they must become more truly "liberal" in feefing, when on the next occasion they seek the support of their constituents. 'rhe contemptuous, manner in which they endeavoured to " walk' over the course "—has disgusted their own supporters, and the enthusiastic ewe's. which followed the nomination of Mr. Bradley area sufficient indication of the feelings of the electors of this division, who are desirous of being represented by men indepehdent in principle, and who are determined on any future opportunity to . support such candidates. I have only to add that the thanks returned by Mr. Shirley, were simply and distinctly those of a man who thought " he could do what he liked with his own." I 'remain,. Sir, AN UNREGISTERED FREEHOLDER OF SOUTH WARWICKSHIRE. July 5, 1841. GAINS AND LOSSES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Monday Evening. Stu,—lf you really wish4o give your readers a true account of the gains and losses of both parties in England and Wales, you will not be sorry to receive the following corrections. Giving the Liberals a gain in South Shieles, which I consider very questionable, seeing that Ingham voted against Sir 11. Peel on the Non-confidence. question, the gain over the whole boroughs (not including Cardigan), is exactly eight, and not four, to the Conservatives. You have omitted the following : Douglas,. ,Rochester. Viscount Chelsea, Reading. Hamilton, Newport. Lawson, Knaresborough. Mainwaring, Denbigh, and Crawford, Rochdale, are no gains to either party, both the seats being held by the same side in the last Parliament., The numbers really stand thus ; Conservative gains. Whig 'gains, 31 Thetford is a partial gain to the Conservatives, the seat being previously held by a Whig. Your Constant Reader, though " A CONSERVATIVE." (We are obliged to our Conservative friend for his commu nication, which, he will see front the list, we have attended to. We believe not one of the . papers gives' the returns without some errov • arid this is not to be wondered at, considering the numerous details which are to be taken into account.] AWFUL CALAMITY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-It is with pain I inform' you of an awful catastrophe which has occurred this afternoon, in the boat-yard of Air. Chambers. A vessel waslaunched at about three o'clock, and, shocking to relate, she upset ; the number underneath cannot at present be ascertained. She lays at present so. There are about twenty got out drowned, and how many more the Almighty Disposer of human events alone can tell.• At the time I write this, they are carrying them past my house in almost overy shape, some dead, and some, I am afraid, never to be here for long. I remain, yours respectfully. JOSEPH FIRTH. Ring of Bells, Rotherham, July 3, 1841. _ P.S.—The greater part of them are children. Chambers' boat-yard is in Masborough, in the parish of Rotherham. Thirty-two are taken out. The vessel was launched side-way. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) SHEFFIELD, JULY 5, HALF-PAST SEVEN, P.M. I have just time to write you to state that a dreadful acci dent occurred this afternoon at Rotherham, near Sheffield. In launching a new boat from the stocks with upwards of 150 people on board, she fell over, and went keel up, forcing the whole into the water.. Upwards of 50 bodies have already been taken out, and at the time I write the seven o'clock train is just in, and from the most authentic source I learn that they were fishing up bodies at the rate of one every three or four minutes. [Rotherham is a ,market town in the West Riding of York shire, about six miles north 7 east of Sheffield, situate in a valley near the confluence of.the small river Rother, and the Don, which runs by Doncaster. It contains about 5,000 inhabitants, and is celebrated for the iron works of Walkei and, Co., where cannon of the largest calibre are cast. = The iron bridges of Sun. derland and Staines were cast at this place. The coal and iron are chiefly supplied from mines in the neighbourhood. A con siderable trade in various other articles is carried on by the river to Doncaster and .Hull. In the neighbourhood is Went worth-house, the magnificeatresidence of Earl Fitzwilliam.] POST-OFFIOE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. beg the following insertion in your impartial journal, viz., that it is high time that the Post-office authorities 'Were acquaint ea with the irregularity in the time of delivering letters in the suburbs of the town, Southsea, Kingston, &c. It is actually a fact that within a quarter of an hour's walk from the general office to Southsea, (or say '2O minutes) letters are not de livered until 11 o'clock A. 11., whereas the London mail arrives between five and sir A.M. It appears there is not a sufficient number of letter-carriers, as I have seen these men on their feet from nine till after„ten o'clock, from six till nearly nine. As an inhabitant of thi s t own , in accordance with others, I consider it requisite that the General-Inspector, or Postmaster of this town, should look more to their duty, in order for the public to re ceive that accOmmodation which is required. . I remain, yours respectfully,. WILLIAM STRICKLAND: - • Portsmouth, July 5, 1841. • VICTIMS OF THE YEOMANRY. (From the Nottingham Mercury,) The following is an imperfect list of the persons who were injured• by the Yeomanry on Monday ; John Richards, Bellar-gate, head cut, James Parkins, Rid-strM, head and face cut, and leg injured. James Bamford, Leen-side, head cut. Michael Flannigan, Narrow-marsh, face cut and side injured: Thomas Porter, Lenton, arms severely bruised, George Patchitt, Narrow-marsh, arm injured. George Mann, Wood-street, leg injured, Richard Daft, Vreeman-street, head cut, Richard Hall, Richmond-street, head much bruised. William Spray, Cambridge-street, face injured. William Whitehead, York-court, Millstone -lane, kno,ked down by one of the yeomanry, and rode over, head anti left side much injured. - Job Tarter, Carlton, aged N, injured on the right arm, and suffering from the kick of a horse. lhomasWetherall, Kimberley, aged 65, much bruised, and also suffering from kick of a horse. James East, framework-knitter, aged 17, w as walking quietly up Bottle-lane, but unfortunately for himself, he had a small piece of yellow ribband in his hand, this was sufficient to arouse the blood-thirsty feelings of the yeo manry, and several galloped after him, one of whom, by a violent blow on the head, felled him to the ground, and then rode over him—head and face very severely cut, and body much bruised with the horses' feet. Six or seven were dressed. at Mr. Attenburrow's, one of whom was carried there quite senseless. Mrs. Atten burrow, like a ministering angel, after the poor fellow's wounds were dressed, gave them tea and coffee. Mr. Robert Davison also dressed three persons, one of whom was very seriously injured. An old, pensioner who saw . the yeomanry onslaught, exclaimed, " Well, I've been in many a battle, but such a murderous scene as this I never witnessed in my life— 'Tis-well for the ruffians lam not armed."

IS THE POOR MAN'S CHURCH, " And all for love, and nothing for reward," As is evident from the following statement, showing the small stipends for which the clergy undertake the care of the souls of their flock Archbishop of Canterbury £2o,ooo—Poor fellow ! Archbishop of York l2,ooo—Disigterested man ! Bishop of Durham l9,ooo—Self-denyispastor I } What straits for the Bishop of London 14,000 poor Man's sake ! Bishop of Winchester Bishop of. Ely 11,000.$ minded ! Five more poor men's Bishops 5,000/. to 6,0001. a-piece —how apostolic ! Six more successors of the Apostles, 3,0001. to 4,0001. a-piece—how poverty-strickdn ! Six again upwards of 2,000/. a-piece—how like the early teachers of Christianity ! Iwo, 1,500/. a-piece—One, 924/.—" They wandered about in sheep-skins and goat skins !" Besides a host of rectors, vicars, &c. &c., with 500/. t0_2,000/. a-year ! These figures speak more than it might be prudent to put into words, lest we should be called Infidels and irre ligious ; but the figures will speak. "Does this said Church (say they) look like the poor man's Church ? Is it not a little like the rich man's Church ? If it is the poor man's Church, how comes this anomaly of starving flocks, and pastors oppressed with wealth ? Cali it the Church of the rich, and you may call it b'y its 'right name, but do not belie the Church, and insult the poor, by giving it the other (solemn) nickname. To call the Bishops' Church the Church of the poor, is to heap upon it the severest calumny, and arraign it as ...a culprit at the bar of religion and common sense. It is the Church of the aristocracy and their youngest sons. Were her wealth her own, this would still be true ; but is it he own—this poor man's wealth ? Alas ! we go from bad to worse—a large part of this wealth has absolutely been abstracted from the poor man's pockets too gild the liveries and emblazon the arms of the Bishops. One-third of her tithes was set aside for the support and relief of the poor, and was, for some time, so applied ; but the Church has contrived to swallow the whole, and now sends the poor man to the workhouse for relief, if haply he may find it. The poor man's Church ! so indeed she is, if by this is meant that her Bishops have the poor man's money in their pockets, and that her enormous wealth his been so far deducted from his due—so indeed she is, for, after filling the pockets of her dignitaries,_ who turn their backs upon the poor, she sends forth her ill-paid and half starved curates into the houses of the poor, who, instead of her enormous wealth wherewith to relieve their wants, are, in some cases, themselves dependent npOn their parishioners. There are six hundred livings under 60/. a year, and five hundred more under 80/., making upwards of one thousand livings under'Bo/., besides upwards of five thousand curacies, averaging 80/.,and many more of them under 50/., and this in spite of ancient laws and usages which would ensure to every pastor a liberal sub sistence, but which the Church has contrived to evade. In this sense she is, and is determined to continue, the Church of the poor man; whorn it has been her practice to keep as poor as she fOund him. The poor man's Church indeed ! Whose Church is she, then ?—this State Church ? As a State Church, chiefly of the practically infidel and ir religious, Sabbath-desecrating Lords'', who leave, it to the middle classes to keep the Fourth Commandment,— important personages in the Church, who prepare fur the Sunday, by spending the Saturday night at the Theatre and the Opera, in order to solemnise their minds,—gambling, cursing, and swearing Lords and gentry—(who dares deny it ?)—who will maintain the Church with their lives and fortunes ! Defenders of the Faith, who trample on the Sixth Commandment, and take away life for a word 'Ditelling Lords ! pil lars of the Church ! whose hands are stained with blood. Men who, rather than own a religion, will hire one,—who, disliking personal religion, take up with a national one. A State Church is nobody's Church, and suits them exactly. They are not Episcopalians : Epis copalians are excellent men : their religion is not Epis copalian,—it is anything or nothing, only it must be na tional : their religion is not the Christian religion—it is the religion of the Sovereign and his Bishops. Hence they will fight for it, or bribe for it, or drink for it ; and they call it the poor man's Church, because the State is nothing without the poor man—nothing unless he works for it and fights for it (they are fond of fight ing both in private and in public—it is part of their re ligion) ; so, without the poor man, it could not be the State Church, \and in that case they would be without any religion at all. Let them call it the poor man's Church if they will—but what a pity they won't pay for it themselves when they get all the advantage of it. The poor man has a private religion, and is willing to pay for it—those whose religion is public, in the matter of it, should pay for it as well: Why should not the pnblicists pay for their own religion, which belongs to themselves and to nobody else ? It is to be feared their religion is no religion at all—at least it is not a national one. Now, since a national religion is no religion at all—it is bind ing upon every man, therefore, to see to it that he has a religion of his own, and that religious freedom, or liberty to hold his own religious views and worship, be guaran teed to every man.--Patriot.

Happily, also, no one was passing at the time.

Daguerre had therefore made use of a preparation not so sensitive as that which he commonly employed, and upon again em ploying the force of electricity had obtained such a de gree of sentiveness that only the millionth part of a second was necessary for obtaining an impression ; so that it was not expecting too much to anticipate that, when further improvements should be effected, the actions of the human body might all be taken by the Daguerreotype. THE MARQUIS OF ANGLESEY AT PLAS NEWYDD.—The long expected visit of the Noble Marquis to his ancient family seat in Anglesey, took place on Saturday last. The Pearl, his Lordship's yacht, in which he was un derstood to have sailed from Southampton on Wednesday, was seen on Saturday, soon after day-break. Minute after minute, as th e guns from the pier, Porth-yr-aur, and Twt. hill, pealed forth their loud and joyous welcome, fresh crowds of persons, some scarcely wide awake, came running to the Quay from every part of the town, crying out, " Where is he ? Where is ho ?" as though each were in expec tancy of a parent, a brother, or a child, long absent and long looked for, t o b e welcomed, and to be loved. The Noble Marquis landed at Carnarvon under renewed salutes, and the most. deafening and long continued cheers from the assembled multitudes who lined the qua;', the pier, and the walls. The Noble Marquis, on landing, passed to the castle, and spent as short time in reviwing that noble and venerable pile, of which he is the hereditary chief constable. After leaving his hotel, his Lordship embarked again, and in about three quarters of an hour, the Pearl was got under weigh, and sailed for Pla.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. ,41 , riiing 55 minutes after 3 I Evening 10 minutes after 4. nit 011,11L4 LONDON: • WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1841. Whatever we can say, which is at all likely to influence the county elections, we have already said, and said over and again, when we have en deavoured to show that the Corn-laws are inju rious to the farmers. We should not, therefore, now refer to the subject, being quite sure that the time is passed when newspapers can influence the present elections, though they may catch hold of the principles which are likely to actuate the freeholders, and claim for themselves the merit of having inspired them; we should not, we say, re fer to the subject were it not that we see pomp ous boastings put forth under the authority of the great Earl of CHATHAM, of the respectability of the county representation. Whatever the county electors might have been, in Earl CHATHAM'S time, we know from experience that there is not a more dependent, and, generally speaking, a more ignorant class of men, as to political matters, than the voters for counties. " Such persons," says the Bishop of DURHAM, in the sensible letter which appears in another part of The Sun," have had but little opportunity of forming a correct judgment of what is passing in Parliament, and various arts are resorted to, to conceal from them the true character of public men." Few of them read newspapers, except occasionally, ' and it is therefore quite impossible for them either to know or appreciate what is pass ing in the world. We should, therefore, ldok on their decision on any public question with much doubt, but on the present public question they unfortunately believe that they have an interest adverse to the measures of the Zilinisters, and ai lverse to the interests of the towns, and we re gard t Leir verdict as that of self-interested men. They are it; ages in their own cause. They are vhich only an impartial man can v oting on that )' d their votes will be given Correctly decide, atL under a mistaken view,in their own favour. With the first abundant ha: vest they will be ready to reverse their own decisio:h Admitting in the agricultural e;;ectors, we th q. power vests must assert that on this question they vi ill not exercise itjuatly. The electors of towns may be superficial; they may pass a hasty judgment; but at least in the majority of cases their opinions are their own. The agriculturists, says the Bishop •of DUR /1 " lean upon the opinions of those with whom they are connected." The electors of towns form their own judgments. The land lords dispose of the votes of the freeholders; the electors of the large towns are neither to be in fluenced nor bought, except by reason.. A re pre.ttutative for a county, th e refore, though his const i tuen t, may nominally be seVe;_al thousand, rea lly represents only a few landlords, and the represen tative of a Kr oll town population cal; in reality boast of a larger independent constituency. As an index to public opinion, we regard the returns of the towns to be infinitely of more importance than the returns of the bounties. riiip latter will undoubtedly be against the 'Whigs, but that the former is in their favour is a complete proof that they are nearer right than their opponents, and must, in the long run, be successful. We do not know any instance of the inbabi tant of the towns going back to the opinions of the inhabitants of the rural districts. All the organs of public sentiment are esiablished in towns. Almost all improvements, whether in house -building or clothing, and many even in agricultural instruments, have taken their rise in towns. All the discoveries in science, nearly, have originated in the same places. The inha bitants of towns march in the front rank of civi lization, and the Minister who has their suffrages may be sure of obtaining those of the agricul turists at no distant day. It is consolatory to know that Catholic,: enian- e uu, 4 .4 tia :40„ c - ' 74411"--,-H4 MORN N( SUNS cipation, the abolition of the slave-trade and of slavery, the reform of Parliament, -with every other political improvement of modern times, have been carried through by , the energies of the inhabitants of the towns, and very generally in despite of the opposition of the inhabitants of the counties. They were feebly supported in the beginning, but, after Wye years' of discussion and struggling, they be' came the general opinion. The same progress, and the same results, await, we have na doubtht, the great doctrines of free trade. To them e bulk of the town population was not long a6'° • opposed. Protective and restrictive laws, in facts had their origin more in a desire to prote ct • manufactures than agriculture. The town popu lation are now suffering for the errors and sins of their forefathers, which are visited on them jai': the third and fourth generation. They hav e , been forced, however, by their sufferings to cxa - ":, „ mine their theories, and they have, generally', be; come converts to the opinion that protective law are injurious to a community. Such, too, are the opinions of the Ministers ; and he must ha" a shallow intellect and a little heart who despair s of the speedy and complete success of the doc trines of free trade, because they may be at pre' sent successfully opposed by the backward and interested landlords and the voters whom they command. On the 30th ultimo we quoted a passag e from the Times, accusing the Tories of having resisted the ordinations of Providence, an d ' being very slow to comprehend its ways. Our it the Conten.Torary then expressly said, d e f ec ti ve state of the representation - le d to the inti:oduction of the Reform Dill/ which, ' : as we h ive often said before, Was Oe.. casioned rather by a sort of philosophical ne cessity than by the I .,..lculiar patriotism of all ascendant faction." We :119ught when we (1 11°- ted that passage that we sho ll d have to refer to it frequently, in order to answe: the Times itsel f, or the party of the Times. The . fi rst person lt, whom we must apply it •is the great 3eader i n al . a _ master of those presumptuous quacko, vviio, politics, thwart the ordinations of Prov.4lenei:e. Sir. R. PEEL, in his Tamworth oration, lise ' . 4 t following words :--- , It was just at the period you elected me that tho 4) events took place in France which exhibited to Eurq e physical force triumphant over the constituted authorities of the country, which led a second time to a great reAL t lr A rt tion in France, and expelled from the throne of u" - 't country, for the second time, the elder branch of the lion-411i20-, of tourbon. Those events in France made a deep "inlPrer sion throughout the whole of Europe, conv ulsed public mind—in some countries led .to revolution, and f there were some which - escaped from the influencxee es those great events. This great country was not eril from that influence : there arose here a desir e for chas9e in fhe ancient institutions of the country ; and the ae", queue was a fundamental change in the Comni°ll2,, House of Parliament. I then foresaw that that cWb" was acconnifinied with a restless desire for further change' I then foresaw, I say, the importance of laying the feu ir dations of a great Conservative party—(Loud cheers); attached to the ancient fundamental instit utions of tf.A country, not disposed to resist such changes as the 4 0 7; circumstances of society might require, but a party t. • termined to maintain on their ancient foundations t', institutions in Church and State.--(Tremendous cheers" Sir R. PEEL, far front believing then tht .the progress . of society, and the overthrow of ilef ee4 tive institutickns tis according - to the will of 6 01 :: .evidently now treats the desire which has ari s . e in England for political improvement and Pobti; ' cal change, as the consequence of the Free Revolution. That again he disparage s ) 89 t triumph of physical force over the co nstitute authorities, to which good men ought to ber st . posed, and accordingly asserts, that from tb period he ,had seen the necessity Of deWs-illi; . ing a large party to resist thept , for ehaoge and improvement: The Co': 1 7“: vatives, th t -n, according to Sir Roasirr P 5- ' „ are formed it; to a party, on the principle of ll ' sisting the phi;osophical necessity of amendiog defective institutib.ns, and of opposing : the et cli ; nations of Providen, (!e. Whether Sir : Roo s t . % PEEL had then really ti , :e foresight to which- ' ci. now lays claim, after the &vent, or merely ac te on resisting Reform on the 'Wind and mulled a} :: prehension of little minds, valid' dreatte ce :: change their limited powers can ne ither colvP h ; he nd nor control; whether Sir RaBliRT bOag Ll°. r of a wisdom he did not then possess 0:not, is to 01 5 0 no earthly consequence ; all that we care for io to show, by placing in juxta-position hi t r lapel and the language of his chief suppo r .ter ) ', i ‘ t the Times and Sir ROBERT PEEL are dir stains'variance. The one maintains that the ni ts ,, tions of Providence, or philosophical nee eOsii;,l governs the affairs of society; the oth er7 2-eot the great changes are the offspring of tl e ' t ea or change, which wis e men, like Sir 14°13. PEEL, must take means to prevent and: OP; ,ii; We briefly noticed yesterday the grk'a t 1 %0 cretion of this declaration of Sir .." 13 ,45 PEEL, and the distrust it would excite °'.,b. government in our greatest and nearest 1- te t foi , bour, and that one who can do us most 13° ill and with whom it most behoves us to l i ` e i ti'l amity and peace. As might be expected, Anl e extraordinary passage of the proximate ou r Minister's speech has already been mal t , c baS mented on in the Parisian journals, Au lt ' # given us a foretaste of the mutual nation la to 1 e ss l cerbation we may expect from his acce:S °U . i. 4 ' g l t •- ' power. But this passage is-as fallacious t t- ao cs indiscreet. The constituted authorities of - . F 3 ' , 59 ,5# were, at the commencement of 1830, in l'n t ole sion of the organised physical force of the 1.. cif kingdom ; and, vain of that support, just a' 0 itt R. PEEL and the Duke Of WELLINGTON are a ~ of the support here of the organized force' 11l s• cons tituted authorities endeavoured, as 611..t0e PEEL and his friends endeavour, to atoP fito ! .. progress of society, to' arrest the march ° t b. provement, and extinguish the desire il l 0 ,0% people to remedy defective institutions. It the'; not the physical but the moral force which people—of the deputies, and the press—. t o ', called into exercise another sort of phys ica T t lie to resist the organised physical force ° 6 o a, constituted authorities—that did, thall i iie nit successfully -- most successfully— r esist t ' 0 0, - teaching constituted authorities a useful leessoii, and setting'a noble example, which we 110r:00$1, trust will fie followed here whenever Sir R'• e3'- and his Conservative friends shall imitate t b o ,nr, ample he praises and admires, and eccie. at ia " of like Prince PoLIGNAC, to resist the ordicat l f e f - 0' Providence, and oppose those reforms in ' , v c e ti ve institutions, and the abolition of those . 11) honest plundering laws, which are recialred " sort of philosophical necessity." ~,,-nose li t e But whom does Sir ROBERT PEEL S•r. o r deceives by putting constituted authorities to physical force in opposition?
