No. 15,173, TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF NOT- TINGIIAIII. GENTLEMEN, T THANK yow l for the kindness with which 1 you received me ' on my Canvass. The expectations which I fortned when I first came among you have been fully realised, anil I feel a confident expectation that I shall be ho noured by being your Representative. The advantage to a trading community of being represented by a Commercial man, has. been very generally acknowledged. From thosenvho appreciate the inestimable benefits derivable from Free Trade, I have received assurances of unqualified support. The sentiments of Religious Freedom which I pro fess, have been responded to by the enlightened friends of the Church, as well as by the Dissenters. Upon the subject of the Poor-laws, on which alone my oppo nents rest their claim to your support, I should wish the Electors to ask them what their views on this question are ; they vituperate the New Law, and would get rid of it, but what then ! would they have no Poor-laws, or would they return to the old system ag-itin ? Would they once more adopt the plan of making rip the deficiency of wages from the poor-rates? Would they do away with the popular election of guardians. and have them appointed as formerly by the Magistra' es? I suspect they find it easier to abuse, than to amend. Electors! I wish to be perfectly explicit on this important subject. A Bill is now before the House of Commons fur the alteration and amendment of the New Poor-law Act, and if I have the honour to be returned as your Representative, I shall lend my zealous and hearty assistance in modifying such parts of it as seem to press hardly upon the poor. With regard;to the important question of out-door relief, I am strongly of dpinion that in large trading towns like yours the workhouse cannot properly be used for a test of destitution, as it may in an agricultural district. In a time of sudden and gene ral stagnation of trade, we should consider well before we break up the working-man's home ; and in a case like this, I think that a discretionary power of acting may very properly be confided to the Guardians of the poor. But after all, and above all, the primary object of legislation should be to secure to the working man the full value for his labour, and this object I am confident' can' only be effected by . a total repeal of the Corn-laws, as you. know from experience that dear bread .Inwera:va,ges. andziscap hreatli-raises them. I want justice to the working man, not that heshouldbedependent upon charity. Gentlemen,—l will not advert at any length to the strange and unnatural coalition that has taken place against me. I cannot but regret that any real Reforiners should be found in the ranks of my opponents, but I rely upon the sound good sense of my countrymen to dispel the delu3ion, and I still ex pect to find them on my side at the day of election. Gentlemen,—My cause is in your hands. Will you have a Tory, or a Reformer? and a Reformer as anxious as any man to vindicate the rights of the poor. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, With great respect, Your.very obedient servant, G. G. de H. LARPENT. Nottingham; April 22, 1841. THE CLASS LECTURES AT THE ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

Eras, APRIL, 10.—Her Majesty the Empress of Russia has hired the country house of M. EI - luyn, where the Emperor Nicholas once resided. It is to be newly fur nished in the most splendid manner, and the Empress is expected as soon as the weather will permit. The Em peror it is thought will come some time later than the Empress, on a short visit. VIENNA, APRIL 10.—The army now amounts to 300,000 men (effective) without the reserves, and the second battalion of the Landwehr. The measures that have been resolved upon are still carried, on notwithstanding the well founded prospects of peace, and the army will shortly be fully equipped, armed, and mounted. There is a report of a projected marriage of Prince Nicholas Esterhazy, son of our Ambassador at London, to the Princess Mary of Nassau, sister to the reigning Duke. MUNICH, APRIL 12.—The last letters from Athens say that her Majesty the Queen of Greece will go at the beginning of June to Ems, and will, on her way, visit this city. BERLIN, APRIL IG.—lt is now decided that the Prince of Prussia shall be present at the marriage of the Grand Duke Alexander, as the representative of our Royal Family. He will set out onthe 18th, with a considerable suite, for St. Petersburgh. HANOVER, APRIL 16.—We learn, on good authority, that the Empress of Russia is expected here on a visit, on her way to Ems: Preparations are making at the Royal Palace for the accommodation of her Majesty. The Royal proclamation is published to-day, convoking the GenerabAssembly of the Estates of the Kingdom to meet on the 2d of June this year, BRUNSWICK, APRIL 15.—We are able to state, on good authority, that there is no foundation whatever for the statement that the proposal of Brunswick to join the German Customs Union, has b3en declined at Berlin. M. Von Amberg had had the most gracious and favourable reception at Berlin, and it is to be hoped that the wishes of the country will be speedily fulfilled. DANTZIC, APRIL 20. —The Provisional Assembly of the Province of Prussia having terminated, all the business before it was closed yesterday by the Royal:Commissioner, the High President Schou. RUSSIAN FRONTIER, APRIL B.—The latest letters from St. Petersburgh say that affairs had taken a turn in Cunt Demidoff's favour. His amiable consort bas gained- the favour of the Emperor, and the Count himself has so lemnly affirmed his attachment to the Russian Synod and the Orthodox Greek Church. It is said he has already obtained the Emperor's permission to make another jour ney to Paris. The earthquake of the 3d of April was felt in several parts of Norway, as we learn from letters from the south west parts of the kingdom. Fdhrsund, Christiansand, Arendahl, &c. CARLSRUHR, APRIL I2.—(From the Leipsic .Allgemeine Zeitung.)—The rebuilding of the fortress of Ilincingen, which covered the frontiers of France towards northern Switzerland, is spoken of as a thing decided on. M. Guizot, it is said, having obtained permission to this ef fect, in return for his approximation to the other great Powers. It cannot be denied that the restoration of Hei nengen, contrary to the stipulations of the treaty of Paris, would flatter the national vanity of the French, and con tribute not a little to consolidate the present Government. A remonstrance on the part of Switzerland, which would be so much interested by the measure, would probably be little regarded in the present state of that country,..... Ramburgh Papers, April 20. DEFAMATION BY A CLERGYMAN.— 011 the 7th current, a case for defamation of character, at the in stance of a woman of the name of Miller, residing in Lybster, Latheron, against the Rev. James Noble, late minister of the quoad sacra parish of that name, for having used expressions from the pulpit injurious to her character, came on before Robert Thomson, Esq., advocate, Sheriffof Caithness. A number of witnesses were examined, and, after a recapitulation of the cir cumstances, the Sheriff found Miller entitled to 5/. ster ling, in name of damages, and further found the defend ant liable in expenses of process, as having gone beyond what prudence, and his proper functions as a clergyman, dictated. Expressions calculated to injure the character of the pursuer's mother and sisters had also been trade use of by the defendant. As three actions have been insti tuted in addition to the one referred to, one for the mo ther and one for each of the sisters, the damages and costs will prove considerable, it being thought that the present action will form a precedent for the decision on the others. —John 0' Groat Journal.

Fourth,—Free voting by means of secret Fifth.—Short Parliaments of fixed duration, the limit not to exceed three years. The object of the members of the Association being to obtain all those ameliorations, they will, as practical men, accept the assistance of all persons honestly dis posed to concur in the carrying into effect any part of these improvements. They will accept an instalment, as so much of this truly national debt ; but they seek for, demand, and insist upon the entire. Neither will they ever consent to forego or abandon any part of that entire, accepting portions or instalments of their rights only the better to enable them to obtain the residue. In fine, the all-engrossing feature of the plan of the Association is, and always shall be, to obtain for the most valuable species of property—human labour—the best and greatest protection which the social state can possibly afford. The Association refrains from including the reform of the HOuse of Lards, as part of its basis ; but it rea dily adopts the principle that a Chamber of Legis lators ought to be responsible, directly and potentially, to the people, for whose property, and lives, and liberties it contributes to legislate. Sixth—That the House of Lords involves the prin ciple of irresponsibility, and the absurdity of hereditary capacity or legislation ; and it ought, therefore, to be so reformed as to be tendered consistent with the progress of the amelioration of British institutions." 'This plate, however, was rendered wholly unnecessary, in consequence of the working men having prepared the following resolutions, 5t ! ,..114ch were adopted RESOLUTIONS AGREED TO KT" It - ' MEETING HELD AT THE BRITISH COFFEt.HOUSE, ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE THE 7TH, 1837 :- Ist.

That we agree to support and vote for a Bill or alls to be brought int) the House of Commons, for such a reform in the House of Lords as shall render it responsible to the people.—Proposed by Daniel O'Con nell, Esq., M.P. ; seconded by Sharman Crawford, Esq., M.P. 4. That a Committee of twelve persons be appointed to draw up a Bill or Bills, in a legal form, embodying the principles agreed to ; and that they be submitted to another meeting of the Liberal 'Members of Parliament and the working liens' Association ; and the following be the persons appointed : Daniel O'Connell, Esq.M.P., J. Arthur Roebuck, Esq., M.P. ; John Temple Leader, Esq. ; Charles Hindley, Esq., M.P. ; Thomas Perra net Thompson, Esq., M.P.; Wm. Sharman Crawford, Esq., M.P. ; Mr. Henry Hetherington ; Mr. John Cleave ; Mr. James Watson ; Mr. Richard Moore ; Mr. NVilliam Lovett ; Mr. Henry Vincent.

The day Mr. O'Connell signed the resolutions he gave the deputation this list of names, in his own hand writing, as persons he thought would also sign them : but the death of William the Fourth caused the disso lution of Parliament. and prevented the deputation from waiting on the Members named.

What is the actual condition of the Conservative party at the present moment ? This is a question likely to be agitated in no slight degree, owing to an explosion in the Times newspaper of yesterday. Our answer to the question is briefly this :—" The Con servative party is pretty well, it thanks you ; and though perhaps, a little surprised (which it ought not to be) at the explosion to which we have alluded, not at all discomposed, or disconcerted, or disunited." That the help and advocacy of the 'L'imes, owing- to its great circulation and authoritative manner, is of con siderable importance to any party, it were folly to deny; but it must be added that there are many a wkward things connected with the support of that Journal, and, among the rest, a habit of intemperance where indi vidual interests are concerned, which makes it occa sionally very unjust to the cause which it generally sup ports. The article of yesterday was an instance of this oc casional intemperance. The description given of the feeling of the great body of Conservatives out of Par liament towards the Conservative leaders in Parliament was utterly extravagant and untrue in regard to mat ters of tact, and its style was far more fitted for the rudest mob than for men of thought and education. The writer of this outrage upon the Conservative party does not seem to see, or at all events to observe, that even in style there is a distinction between the robust and the ruffianly, and that the lani;uage of w ell-written invective is not the same with that of boisterous abuse. It is a flimsy pretence to put off as a q uotation, es the spoken words of some anonymous person whose „, ,•,- 1 -,/,,,, • ~.,.„ ~..,,...,_ JAM, 41 * ) -'.. 4• :.- .. „O .

It is to the very last degre., unlikely that any such lan guage was e ver use d by an yone having the sli g ht es t c l a i m to be ca ll e d respectable; and, even if it were used, it is unpardon a bl e an d qu i te di sgust i ng to d raw attent i on to it in a leadin g article, as if it were highly worthy of being listened to by the Conservative party. And this is so apparent that we are sure it would not have been done but that a passionate —a sore and angry— spirit of individual interest was for the moment pre dominant. This spirit led, as it usually dee;, to irjus tice, and, as injustice vvas to be perpetrated, it was not consistent with the character of the Times to do it in mild or measured terms. It determined to ha as gross and truculent in manner as it was unjust and false in its representation of facts. PRICE sd. ORIGIN OF CHARTISM. In a letter lately published by Mr. Hetherington, on Chartism, he says : The Working Men's Association was formed in June, 1836, and was composed of nearly all the active men in the metropolis, who had advocated the princi ples of the Charter for many years before the Asso eiation was formed. Early in 1837 the Working Men's Association called a public meeting at the Crown and Anchor, Strand. The room was crammed to over flowing. It was computed, also, that two or three thousand persons were unable to obtain admission. The resolutions and petition wore all moved and supported by working men ; and the petition, which was drawn up by Mr. Lovett, contained all the principles em bodied in the Charter—Universal Suffrage, Annual Parliaments, Vote by Ballot, No Property Qualification, Equa l Electoral Districts, and Payment of Members. Tats petition was unanimously adopted by the meet ing, and receive 1 between two and three thousand signatures on the same night, from persons who attendel the meeting. The Association next deter mined to test the Members of Parliament who professed Liberal principles, by calling a meeting at the British Coffee-house, Cockspur-street, of as many of them as the Association could induce to attend, to discuss the pa . Ppriety of some one or more of them bringing in a Bill embodying all the objects of the petition. Nine or ten Members of Parliament attended, among whom were Col, Thompson, Mr. Hume, Mr. C. Hindlev, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Sharman Crawford, and Mr. Hawes. The discussion lasted two nights, on the second of which the Association succeeded in pledging some few of them to support and bring in a Bill embodying the principle of the petition. A Committee was then formed, consisting of six Members of Parlia ment, and six members of the Working men's Associa tion, to prepare the Bill ; but, as is ever the case when working men and gentlemen are assembled for any ob ject, the work fell exclusively, with the exception of Mr. Roebuck, upon the members of the Association. They prepared the drafr, discussed, in the Association, every clause—rejected some, introduced others, and ulCmately submitted it for public sanction." To this meeting—lest the working men might have come without any plan of operation—Mr. O'Connell brought the following draft for an Association, in his own hand-writing : " Common sense is better than diamonds, saith the Englishman."—Spanish proverb. PLAN OF AN ASSOCIATION TO PROCURE " JUSTICE FOR THE WORKING-CLASSES, " BY AN EFFECTUAL REFORM OF THE LEGISLATURE. The following is proposed as the basis of the Asso ciation, being the principles on which its members are agreed : First.—Universal suffrage. Second,—Equal representation in point of number of constituents. We deny flat there is any ground, in ranter of fact, for the representation concerning the state of the Con servative party. Some discontent there idways is among a large party respecting the conduct. Of its leaders, but we venture to affirm that so great a party as the present Conservative party never existed in this country with less of ill.fseling or disrespect towards the leaders of it. Even they who wish the opposition to the Government were rather more lively (and we grant there are many Conservatives who have this wish) are generally disposed to area that their political leaders can best judge what course ought to be taken, and to admire the forbearance with which they abstain from grasping personal power in order that they may better uplioll Corservstiva principles. But, if thit be so, what makes the Times break out in so furious a manner as it did yesterday ? The reason is, or akas, to be found at Nottingham. The fiery impatience of the Times, which is some how or another more peculiarly interested in the Nottingham contest than in any other, could not brook the apathy which has been found to exist there among the higher sort of Conservatives. Whether this apathy was right or wrong we shall not positively pro nounce ; but, granting that it was the latter, still it was excusable, and perhaps it may not continue. We have already pointed out, with reference to the stite of af fairs at Nottingham, the single ground upon which the disappointed populace of Nottingham, and the Conservative party there, might act toge ther for the return of an anti-Ministerial candi date. We mean the deep disgust, common to both, at the weak, treacherous, deceitful conduct of the present Administration, which encouraged the popu lace to hope for everything as lung as its violent demonstrations were necessary for taie Ministerial purposes, and then cruel) , punished a continuation of those violent demonstrations, because they had be come inconvenient for Ministerial purposes. This com mon disgust is the single ground of political co-opera tion between the populace, who clamour for the Charter, and the Conservative party. But if - a co-operation: be yond this is expected, and if the Conservatives are to he abused and the whole party grossly misrepresented because of a natural reluctance towards an unnatural combination in Nottingham, we think such expectation is monstrous, and the anger at its non-fulfilment grossly unjust. Moreover, the exhibition of such anger is excessively impolitic, even as regards the interest of the person on whose behalf the angry steam is " got up." The Conservatives, we believe, are not to be dragooned into nets of disgraceful participation, even by the po tential fury of a leading journal. This much we will venture to say of our own hope concerning the Conservative party, namely, that if it is never to become paramount in this country till it allies itself with the mob, we hope the day of its as cendancy may never come. We have no wish for what has been called a " Conservative democracy." Wc be lieve the project of any such thing to be nonsensical, and its realisation impossible. We think we are not presumptuous in saying this, far, unless we greatly err, the opinion we have expressed that of every sauna and rational man who is true to Conservative principles, At the same time, no one who nominally or really belongs to the Conservative party would go further than we should willingly go to promote the com fort and happiness of the people. We have al ' • xa's th-uslit and often said, that onthe part of the Government of this country, whether con ducted by Tories cr Whigs, there has not been that sort of parental care taken of the peo ple which we think ought to he taken. But we do not approve, and therefore we would not encourage, any Larger amount of popular inter ference in political affairs than at present exists. We do not believe that the mass of the people can advan tageously govern themselves. The existing Consti tution gives the people quite as much power and op portunity of interference in political affairs as it is, in our judgment, wise and wholesome tar them to have. This we believe to be the principle of the Conservative party, and upon this point we hold the Conservative party to be directly at issue with the Chartist snub.. We fed that this,shotalleilistinctly understood, let what may happen at Nottingham ; and, though we taink that all Conservatives there ought to du their best to defeat the Goverment condi date, we yet believe that, while doing their best, they will take care not to identify themselves with Chartist schemes. Such conduct will insure a united Conmervative party, notwithstanding the angry " thunder" of tho Times.—Post. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE. On Monday week an inquest was held on the body of Mr. Boag, telieviog officer of the Rothbury Union. Dons the evidence O'er, it 'wears that the squabbles which have for some time prevailed in the Board of Guardians, aad the opposition he had experienced, had preyed much upon his mind. On Tuesday, the 6th instant, there was a very stormy meeting of the Board, and during the following night he had revcr slept, but wandered about his room in great distress. The next day he had gone to Elsdon in the performance of his duties, when he saw the Archdeacon of Northumberland, of whose kind feelings he afterwards expressed himself very warmly. On hta return from thence he wrote a long letter to the clerk of the union, from which the following are extracts:— "Mr DEAR SIR—I do net see how I can get out of this business.

The next morning he added some unconnected sentence, to it, and after making some arrangements, left his house on horseback about two in the afternoon, and was seen to look earnestly back towards it. He left h!s horse at Warton, went to two or three places, till about six in the evening, w h en he had gone to a hovel upon Low Trewitt estate, which was formerly his own property, and from whence he could look down upon the house where he had spent the gre a t es t pat tof his lite. He then swallowed an ounce of l au d a . onto , after which he wrote in pencil the following upon the back of a letter:—" I have taken about a wins glass of laudanum at the shed on Trewitt North Moor.
