"We observe in a pamphlet, Anti-Deist,' published by Mr. Bellamy, that Eiodus, c. iii., v. 22, is a gross mistransla: tion. He notices a- number of other errors in the translation of the Bible now in use, equally hostile to the true meaning of the writers. It is not a little curious, that many of these mis translated passages, which give meanings in direct opposition to the real ones, have been as stoutly defended by eminent theo logians as any in the whole book, and long commentaries have been written upon their, expressly to show their beauty and propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24. 1821. To COAAESPONDENTS.—" The Bible.--We have been so earnestly exhorted to persevere in opening our Paper tattle dis cussion of the merits of the New Translation, as a question ef the utmo t importance to the interests of mankind; that we feel it to be our duty to comply.

" Surely the elevated patronage which this New Translation has deservedly obtained , should op erate as a general example and incitement. Shall the Bible, with its many acknowledged errors, descend to posterity polluted with all those . errers ; er shall it be transmitted to the latest generations of mankind, with as much of its original, purity as it is po;sibla for huMan sagacity, knowledge, and diligence to elucidate and con firm."— The Sun, Monday, 'November 23d, 18 1 8.

Authorised Version, Deuteronomy, chap..l4, v. 22 :—" Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed.". " It is a well-known -maxim of English law, suggested by common sense, and recognised by every principle of tustic,e, so infer, that the long and uninterrupted enjoyment of a civil right must have originated in a regular grant from the original owner, although no express ea' n _eau :be -pred " of ex istence of such mart - No. 53. New Translation:—" A tenth thou shalt tenth, of all.the increase of thy seed." Note—Onkelos, the most eminent of all the learned Rabbis; who lived before the dispersiint of the Hebrews, and consequently made the translation of the Sacred ' Volume into Chaldee at the' period when the Hebrew was a national language, thus translates the clause—Gnasaara tigasarah, " a tenth thou shalt tenth," which is the same as the Hebrew. The Septuagint 6E-40:1-'0% ar?;',"E:.:O(..:WTEI (both Alexandrine and Vatican) " a tenth thou shalt tenth." The learned Selden, Le Clerc, and other great authorities on tithes, say—" It is not likely that the Levites should have had a tenth of the whole produce of the land, because the number of the tribe of Levi, compared with the numbers of the other tribes, was so trifling. Neither could it be of a il t produce of the land, but of the increa se of the seed ; as it is truly said in the common version : for the increase must necessarily have been that part of the produce after the seed employed to give the increase, had been returned to the grower out of the gross produce ; otherwise it could not have been said it was the " in crease of the seed." " When the harvest had been ended, and all gathered, then the husbandman laid aside his great themma, otherwise called the first fruits of his threshing floors, of which it hath beene spoken in chapter on first fruits; which, though it were one of ten, in respect of that portion which the Levites received, yet it was but one of a hundred in respect of the husbandman's stocke, who payed the Levites; the Levites payed a tenth por tion unto the Priests ; this they termed Magnasher min-ham magnasher, the tithe of the tithes, Neh. x. 38. The Pharisees would pay a tenth, Mat. xxiii. 23 ; and hence it is that they boasted, They gave tithes of all that they possessed, Luke xviii. 12."—Civil and Ecclesiastical Rites, used by the ancient Hebrews. Dedicated to the Earl of Pembroke, Chancellor ef the University ef Oxford. By Thomas Godwyn, B. D. 1634. " The Council of Calcuith, or Calchlte, held in 785. or, ac cording to others, in 787, on account of erecting Lichfield into an Archbishopric, ratified the Canons of a Synod that had been conaened just before in Northumberland. Gregory and Theophilact, who presided as the Pope's Legates, acknow ledged, in their letter to the Pope, that they were the first that had been sent into England with that character. The follow ing are some of the Canons of the Synod of Northumberland, ratified by the Council of Calcuith:-Bth. The ancient privileges of the Church are carefully to be preserved. The 17th urges the payment of Tithes from th e authorit y of the Law of Moses." " Ethelwulph's reign furnishes us with a subject, which, though mentioned elsewhere, it will not b amiss to repeat a little more largely of in this place ; I mean the grant of Tithes. The Charter runs thus : " ' I, Ethelwulph, by the grace of God, &c., have, for the health of my soul, and good of my people, taken the prudent resolution of granting the tenth part of all the lands throughout my whole kingdom to the Church and Ministers of Religion, &c. &R.—Dated the Palace at Wilton, in the year 854, Indic tion the second, at the Feast of Easter." The terms, date, and subscription of the Charter, have in duced several learned men to believe it spurious. But without entering into the controversy, I shall content myself with ob serving, that long before this Charter the Clergy of England claimed a right to the Tithes, if they were not already in actual possession of them. This is evident from the 17th Canon of the Council of Calcuith, held in 785, where we find they urged the payment of Tithes from the Law of Moses. If this Chea ter, therefore,%is not to be consideredla forgery, it seems at least to be of very doubtful authority. Add to this, that by the tenth part of the lands must necessarily be meant the tenth part of the profits ; whirls must be owned to be a very forced interpretation, especially hi a primordial Act such as this."— Page 1 l 1, Rapin's History of England. " The plan which I have to unfold may at first appear start ling, . • . . to introduce within the Christian Church. It may appear to encroach by those who have strenuously ad vocated the sacredness of the clergy's income, and entered their decided protest agaitest any reform being necessary, as re- lating to ecclesiastical affairs."—Espilon Theta. "The King, Henry the Fourth, representing to the Parlia ment his great want of an extraordinary aid, the Commons went in a body and addressed him, That without burdening his people he might supply his occasions by seizing the revenue of the clergy."lhe Archbishop of Canterbury r esisted—the C om mons brought in a Bill to seize the clergy 's revenues— the solicitations of the Archbishop were so prevalent with the Lords, that they threw out the Bill, so the Commons were forced to find other means to supply the King's occasions; the clergy granted a tenth and a-half.' —Page 495. " The Commons, willing to comply with the King's ( Henry V.) demand of a subsidy, presented an address, praying him to seize the clergy's revenues. The clergy perceiving their ruin inevitable, came to the resolution to resign a part of their riches to the King in order to save the rest."—Page 509, Rapin's History of England. (I.)—See the Sun, Nos. 14,628, 14,662. " Ne mention, Bishop Barlow observes, is made of tithes in the grand codes of canons, ending in the year of our Lord 457, (which, next to the Bible, he considers as the most au thentic book in the world). During all that period, there fore, both the clergy and the Church appear to have been sup ported by the free gifts and other oblations of the pious."—See Selden on Tithes, anti Barb. Rem. 169. " Tithes, from the Saxon word Tends, whiclf signifies the tenth part of a thing, may be defined to be the tenth part of the increase yearly, arising and renewing from the profits of land, the stock upon lands, and the personal industry of the in habitants."—'2 Black. Com. 24. From the above readings the following scale is deducible : Allowing agricultural product to realise thirty per cent., which is absolute—tithe impost to be included—and increase being considered synonymous with produce—a tenth is 131. per cent. Here we must observe we think the imposition of three half pence in every shilling quarter-n loaf a severe infliction for our spiritual edification. Albeit it would almost pass without a murmur, but that our hallowed Faith enjoins us " To feed the hungry"—and its denunciations are upon those who are unmind ful ef " the child of misery bai.tised in tears." Ethelwulph' s Ch ar t er .—A to nth of the pro fi t, 31 . per cent. Hebrew. New Translatior —A tenth of a tenth taken on produce, 265. per cent.

It is new more than thirty years since the eminent linguist Bellamy divulged his biblical emendations, through a periodical of the highest literary character in the coun tr y , the " Classical Journal ; it is.twenty- two years since we became adherents to his promulgations, and with an intent watchfulness, The Sun, the Examiner, ansl,the. Chester Chronicle, are the only Papers amongst the range, who have promoted the matter held to be " of the utmostimportince to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life." I This enables us to repel the imputation to the " Continental Despots," we rather say ,Sovereigns of Europe, or "the cruel and faithless bigot," and if may go to assuage the acerbity of vituperations 'against them, when one whose purport was and is " of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life," has received such an act of unexampled injustice from the press of Englantl.—We hope this will not be overlooked by the Permanic Diet on the regulations of the Press. " What complaint does the bulk of the people make of the Legislature? It is charged, in the case of the Corn-laws-- openly and distinctly charged, with inflicting hunger, disease, and death on 'large portions of the community to enrich its members. It cuts down the population; as Lord Ashburton affirms. It curtails the supply of food, it4imits the demand for and the wages of labour. It plunders the working-elmes to put wealth in the pockets of-the ,Aristocracy. All these things are the very' reverse of its duties. It • holds coiner to cherish and protect the people, and is highly criminal if it shorten a life unnecessarily one day, or misap propriate one stick of the property of the obedient people. —The Sun, No. 14,869. May 6, .1840. " The Anti-Corn-law League yesterday closed its sittings, and the members declared that they did not despair: Neither do we. Our conviction that the Corn-law is a most iniquitous impost is strengthened by what has occurred in the House of Commons. We believe that to preserve such an impost for any length of time is beyond the power of the House of Com mons. The debate and the division of Tuesday may help the degradation and destruction of the Parliament, but they can neither alter the public opinion of the nature of the law, nor maintain it in opposition to the public conviction."—The Sun, May 28, 1840. It being spoken by him, ".who spake as never man spoke." Mathew, c. iv., v. 4. " But he (Jesus) answered and said, It is,writtett. Man ihall not lixe by breiul elene,but,by eyeryword, tltai prtiCetitieth outof the 'Mouth ottott,""itiveiug tor purpOrt to carry out, vad the majority of a House.of Commons to abro gate the marreite of the beity himself, (2) though what we submit " may at first appear startling," emboldens us. This train of thought leads us to entertain the idea that it is a national degradation ; that those in the receipt of from 3;000/. to 30,000/. per annum should " writhe from the hands of pea sants their hard-earned pittance" of three-halfpence in a loaf, and this, too, for the support of an Establishment of high in tellectual character. The country's dignity demands the abolition. Therefore we hope that her Majesty will he pleased to pro mote an assessment of one-half per cent. on all houses at a rent of 50/. per annum, 1/. per cent. on all houses at 100/. per an num ; two per cent. on all at 2001. per annum ; three per cent. on all at 2001. upwards at the annual rent-charge. This paid into her Majesty's Exchequer, the Clergy to be paid by a gra duated scale. We pray her Most Gracious Majesty " hear us for our cause," that it may disarm every depraved mind against her " sacred person," and that no— " Peasant shall have cause to say, heaven shorten Victoria's happy life one day."

(SATURDAY EVENING.) POST.—We understand from a gentleman lately ar rived in London from the Pacific, that her Mdkst y's Con sul-General for Pcru, Mr. Belford H. Wilson, is daily expected in England. He was to come by the way of Chili, the Pampas, and Buenos Ayres, and it is faid that be will bring with him most valuable statistical informa tion respecting Peru. The revenue of that Republic is found to be much more flourishing than had been sup posed, and it is in consequence intended, on an early day, to call the attention of the Committee of Spanish American bondholders to the subject. It is considered that a demand should be officially made to the Executive at Lima of an appropriation of a fixed proportion of the customs to the payment of the foreign dividends, as has been successfully done in the case of Mexico.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS PROM THE MORNING PAPERS OP THIS DAY. (From the - 7%nles - .) . By all eeetinnti, private as well as public, the situation of testis Philippe. if not a precarious one, must be. in no small degree, paid@ and tormenting. The world has hardly ever witnessed a mass of intrigues more complex and embarrassing, or one from-which all pretence, even of generous motives, or patriotic spirit, was by common con nivance so utterly and universally banished. We do not wonder that men, in a country where the true nature of representative government is to this hour a scaled book, should be driven about item pillar to post, and for want of some fixed standard of political honour and obligation round which to rally, should be caught by every personal temptation that offers, and carried away in chase of every speculative opportunity which the chaos of unforeseen events, and of passions unrestrained by a sense of right, may give birth to ; but what we think not a little remark able is, that no party of Frenchmen, and scarcely any single Frenchman, should yet have worked out, from the reflecting powers of their own minds, the fact that it would be useful to their country and to themselves to recognize some one fixed principle of political action for their guidance, instead of always hanging upon fortune to furnish them with ends as , well as instruments. We know that there are those who call themselves republicans, that there arc idolators of a sys tem of aggressive war, and approvers for the present of some sort of monarchy, to be found in France ; but how many of these are attached in reality to -- the principle of the political or military system which they call for? Is there among the republicans any higher motive than that of revengeful faction—or among the hods' of war any nobler impulse than the desire of promotion or of plunder —or among the friends of so-called monarchy, aught else than a prejudice in favour of the elder branch of the Bour bons on one side. and of this - Orleans branch as contradis tinguished from them on the other ? The struggles of in trigue at this moment in progress among the Irairtsian can didates base official power, and nothing else, for their ob ject. Test them by any other purpose, and they are inexplicable. By that, and you have a certain clue. Look at M. Thiers and his implacable animosity towards the Guizot ' Ministry. - What end - but to force himself into office can stimulate that firebrand poli tician, if indeed he may not, as he is Remised 'Of doing, meditate office as his means to a further end, in which the Orleans dynasty has a deeper concern than we here deem • it necessary to point out? What does M. Mole look for through his apparently passive but watchful and pene trating operations ? A tenure -of office which might be durable. The ground of French faction is hollow every,. where—all is ruined end countermined. The pressure from without upon M. Guizot is very formidable, and may be measured by the width of his actual deviation from the laws of his own declared and spontaneous policy. Be has announced himself as the Minister of present peace, and as the advocate of 'peace " over the world, and for ever." Yet, look at his measures, and what arc .they ? A preparation of military armaments more extensive, rand ot themselvs., considered. lappet foam-the hand which wields them, more threatening to the peace of Europe than those which M. Thiers himself desig nated by the name of an "armed peace." Marshal Soult proclaims the army as now on foot to exceed by many uayunets the amount to which M. Thiers demanded it should be raised. M. Thiers had in prospect half a million of soldiers—M. Guizot has actually, standing under arms, 520,000 men I And these, it would seem, are to be still augmented; the annual recruitment being fixed at 80,000 men, the present supply being no more than 40,000. The French marine receives an equally formid aide inereAse. The Minister of Marine declares that he will have 45,000 seamen, &c., afloat, and a reserve of 20,000, in the course of a very few months. And wby is all this ? No continental Power, 'or combination of Powers, m'naces the French terri tory. Great Britain, every man in France must know, dreams not of an attack upon her ultra marine possessions; why, then, we repeat, such pal pable preparations for war—for war by sea and land ?It is all very well to illy that Louis Philippe and M. Guizot can moan no harm. It is understood that they have sent civil assurances on the' subject to England and her conti nental Allies. Assurericea in reply to what ?—to strong, earnest, repeated remonstrances addressed to the Govern ment of Louis Philippe on the vast amount of his warlike preparations, and on the expediency of tranquillizing, by their discontinuance, the just apprehensions of Europe. The reply has been a polite but peremptory refusal. The French Government follows up the Thiers' policy of an armed peace, and fills to overflowing the large measure of preparation threatened by M. Thiers with Messrs. Remusat and Jaubert. Under these circumstances, is it extraordinary that Lord Palmerston should have availed himself of a technical excuse, however flimsy and indefensible, 113 a cloak for his suppression of even the name of France in the " concealment" Speech delivered from the Throne last Tuesday ? Lord Palmerston could not, without exposure to all the Governments of Eueope, have alluded to France as a friend ; and as an enemy expectant he durst not. But ought the people of England to be satisfied with a merely argumentative insight into the relations existing between them and their French neighbours ? Ought we to have eo other authority for our belief upon that vital subject than a conjecture founded on an omission in the Queen's Speech ? Will not Lord Palmerston indicate to us, or is he still afraid to do so, whether the negotiations with France respecting her mighty armaments are of a nature or in a train to compose the natural disturb ance which they have occasioned? England, according 10 actual appearances, has strong facts to go upon, as grounds of deep alarm for the deigns of France in her unrelaxing and unceasing preparations ; and she has no set-off to guarantee her safety but certain vague pro mises of peaceful disposition on the part of M. Guizot and King Louis Philippe, whose own Court Journal, the Journal des Debals, has of late, as the spring approaches, been more warlike in spirit, although measured in its words. The Continental Powers, when they we all France, as we are assured she is, a camp, and more than half a mil lion of men already mustered, and told off in their re spective regiments—the Powers of Continmital Europe, we say, cannot fail to look with extreme jealousy and ap prehension upon such an immense movement towards a state of actual war. They harbour no designs against France ; but they heard from the lips of the late French Prime Minister, that France does look to a reconquest of Belgium and of the Prussian provinces west ward of the Rhine, and therefore they say to France, Give us acts, not words. Disarm, or you will force us, and have already forced us, to arm—either to repel, or to anticipate aggression." Germany therefore has made, and is making, as she must do, effective military preparations. But, good God ! is this a state of things to be contemplated without awe and grief? Arc we to see armed men by mil lions arrayed against each other, and waiting but the signal to fall on ? How long can this possibly endure without hostilities? Will two game cocks eye each other and part without a battle? We call upon Lord Palmerston to tell the country what she has to exp ect. It is barbarous and I wicked to leave England in the dark as to her destiny, or to leave that destiny at the will of France. (From the Morning Chronicle.) It has been too readily taken for granted that the farmers are everywhere in favour of the Corn-laws. The landlords wish it to be believed that the tenants are merely their own double. The farmers, however, have, like other people, profited by experience. They find that the land lords avail themselves of the Corn-law to demand rents calculated according to prices which no law can always sustain, and that in years when, from an abundant harvest and other causes, prices are low, they must, notwithstand. ing, pay the rents out of their capitals. Mr. Alcock seems to have been aware that tenants have often very different views on the subject of Corn.laws from those which their landlords attribute to them; for on Saturday last, the market day at Croydon, he addressed a large meeting in the Town hall of that place, boldly advocating a repeal of the Corn-laws ?—" They knew," he said, " that all his for. tune was derived from the land, and how could itbe supposed that he would support such principles as were calcu lated to ruin himself in common with the rest ? What he wished to do away with was those ruinous fluctuations which at one time raised corn to a famine price, and at another depressed it to such an extent that the farmers were ruined." The reception of Mr. Alcock was flatter ing in the extreme. The prophecies of the Tories that he durst not present himself before the farmers as an advocate of Corn-law repeal were completely falsified. The reso lutions approving of him were carried unanimously. This looks well. Mr. Alcock has yet had no cause to repent of the frankness with which ha has expressed hiss senAt ti ments on the Corn.laws and othe r important questions. Croydon, a great weekly m arket, if any w h ere , lie would have experienced opposition, if his opinions on the Corn• laws had been unpalateable to the farmers. Whatever STEAM-COAL. The development which Steam Navigation is daily receiving gives a public interest to any fact relative to fuel, and especially if it tends to faci litate the extension of steam to voyages once thought too long to permit such a mode of com- 'unification. The Royal Mail Steain Packets for the West Indies will soon dispel the few 'doubts Which may remain as to the practicability of so long a voyage, though the invariable succeSs which has-attended the New York steamers leaves little to be desired onthe point of experience. The British Queen steamer between London and New York has been supplied with the Llangennech coal since her first voyage, and its value as a steam-coal is thus finally set at rest. Its peculiar property for long-voyages,—that of greater durability than any other coal—was brought forward publicly before the House of Commons Committee on Steam Navigation in July 1824, and Dr. Lardner, in examining this question in his work on tile Steam Engine, points attention to theimportance 'cif this coal, and cites the parliamentary evidence on - tile4mbject . ' An interesting trial at the Blackwall Railway within the ' last few days has again ,, proved its It B ' was used for-Mlle-whole day in coinpetion With a north country coal of high re pute, on a preceding day. The duty of the sta tionary engines is to convey the trains backwards and forwards by means of au endless rope, and this offers a measure of work of greater equability than any other except pumping s—its result must therefore be free from error and conclusive. The quantity used of the north country coal was 6 tons 18 cwt., and of the Ilangennech coal only 5 tons 6 cwt., being a saving4 f of upwards of ;30 per cent. 5 now, putting on ona side the gain,' hdre'isa. coarriroved by continuous experience to be better than any other hitherto known for long Voyages,' since an equal quantity in bulk and weight will ,permit a , steamer ,to run 'a greater number of days without a fresh supply, and the importance:of this peculiar power would in many Situations make price altogether subordinate. Its Action upon boilers has 'been proved by twelve years' experience at Messrs. Meux and extensive brewer': to ' - be less, than any other fuel, and chemical analysis has confirmed thivesult by establiships Are comparative ab sence of that very destructiveadmixture, sulphur. The coat burns almost wholly freefrom smoke, a quality hitherto slightly appreciated, but which will one day—and perhaps not far distant—be considered the prime requisite in fuel for steamers or at least for those employed • on naval service By the ascent of the smoke abOve the horizon the motions of the steamers-in - Calais Harbour are at all times observable, at Ramsgate with an ordinary glass from first lighting - the fires to put- tinc., , out to sea, and this is equally so at double the range,, when there are ho :currents of air to depress the ,column of smoke. This combination of qualities so advantageous seems to make this coal all that can be desired as a fuel for steamers on long voyages, and its cer tain safety from spontaneous ignition, by reason Of the total .absence •of Pyrites, gives a special character to this coal in drat - instances of distress and danger at Sea, lat . ge quantities thereof having been sent tothe Persian Gulph, Red Sea, and the East and West - N A'VIJ L INTELLIGENCE. ( From. the Hampshire Telegraph.) -PORTSMOUIII,JAN. 30.—The Iris, 26, Capt Nurse, sailed on Thursday for the Coast of Africa, touching at: Plymoutb, , to put on board the Inconstant 135 men from this' port, for conveyance to the Mediterranean ; she will take 170 also from Plymouth. The Lizard, steam-vessel, Lieutenant T. W. B. Estcourt, arrived yesterday from Woolwich, on her way to the Mediterranean. The Fearless steamer arrived yesterday from Wool wich, with the officers and men who took round the Driver steam vessel. Tne Wirspite, 50 jrazee), was brought into the Basin on Wednesday, to be completed for commission. The Bittern, 16, is ordered to be fitted for com mission. The new steam-ship Styx was launched at Sheerness Dock-yard, on Tuesday, and is ordered to be fitted out with all possible expedition.—Her burden is 1,057 tons. We understand the Iris and Pelican have generously followed the example of the Avon, Rapid, and Viper, and given a day's pay for the relief of the widows and orphans of this crew of the Fairy.

Ireland, the Earl of Liverpool raid, The Noble Lord had in sisted on tithes, a property to which the Church had a right. He could not go quite the length of his Noble Friend, and be lieved that ultimately the question must come under the con sideration of Parliament."—(Hear, hear.) —See Morning Herald, June 20, 1823. There is the recorded vote of the House of Commons to 10 per cei.t. property or income tax ! being oppressive. Under the operation of the property tax an esquire whose principal of 10,0001. netted him 5001. per annum, paid to the State 501., under the operation of the tithe composition, an outlay of 500/. subjects the cultivator to the same 501. ; this, in deed, is " th oppressors wrongs." " The alarm excited by announcing a proposed continuance of the income tax was now beginning to operate ; and the city of London commenced an opposition by presenting to Parlia ment, on Feb. 8, two petitions against the tax, one from the Lord Mayor, Alderman, and Common Council , the other from the Lord Mayor and Liverymen, both expressed in strong lan guage, respecting the odious and inquisitorial nature at the tax. Th.: Ministers and their adherents increased their efforts to make it appear that the opposition to the tax was fastened by popular clamour and party manceuvres. This attempt re ceived a final defeat by a petition, presented on March 18, by Sir William Curtis, from the merchants, bankers, and traders of the city of London. The number of signatures was 22,000. March the 18th the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed the continuance of the obnoxious tax several other speakers fol lowed on each side. At length everv•veice was drowned in the cry of question, and the House divided, when the numbers were, for the continuance of the tax; 201, against it 238, majority 37. When the result was announced, a long and loud cheering arose in the Houie, which was re-echoed by the crowd that filled the lobby and avenues, and the event was felt throughout the taon as a relief from in oppressive.burd'eni"-,7Avnual Register for 1816. , ' • .

EAST SURREY ELECTION. (raoas A C ORP.ESPONDEN7.) On Saturday, it being market day at Croydon, IV . Alcoes?s Committee appointed a meeting to be held the Town-hall, and, soon . affer'two o'clock, the LibM.elal .candidate,,accompanied by G.'R. Smit h, Es q ., S. Palmer, Esq., Mr. Palmer, jug., W.

Mr. PALMER, the Rev. 11; Cow tney was called to. the Chair,...,apd the RevereL" Gentleman briefly addressed the meeting, and said that being placed in that situation ho should- reserve a right to himself of addressing' a few observations to the elec tors on the cause of the meeting.—(Hear, hear.) Some confusion was here created by a man C.mning into the hall, with 'one of Mr. Antrobus's placards on a board, and it was not until he was ejected, that orciv was restored. Mr. Curium then moved a resolution to the effect, that the present vacancy in the representation of Eist Surrey should, in the opinion of the meetit g. be filled by a gentleman favourable to those principles of progres sive reform, upon which alone the Government of the country aught to be carried on.—(Cheers.) G. R. SMITII, Esq., M.P., seconded the resolution, and said that although in some respects he differed in political opinion with his friend Mr. Alcocic, yet he telt satisfied that be was solely actuated by a desire to benefit his country, and he would therefore give him Iris support.—(Cheers.) - Mr. ALCOCK theta addressed the electors, and said that his opponents had dared him to attend any meet ing in the country parts of the county, because they said his opinions upon the Corn-laws being calculated to ruin the agricultural interest, would cause him to be scoffed at. He had, however, taken the hull by the horns—(Laughter)—he had come down to Croydon to meet the farmers, and he hoped to be able to satisfy them that he had no desire to injure them at all, but, on the contrary, to do them good.—(Cheers.)

This old-established and excellent pack met on Saturday the 23d of January, at Acton village, near Nantwich. As usual at this fixture, there was a very good field, increased on this occasion by the anxiety of many to avail themselves of the first favourable opportunity for hunting after the frost. A fox was found about ens o'clock in the Ilurlestone 'Thorns, from whence he went to Dorfold, turned to the right through Tally-ho Gorse, then through Baddiley, leaving the canal on the right, into Sound, by Sound Hall, over a part of Edleston, into Baddington and Broomhall, passing Cool Pilate cover to the left, and running vary near to Brooks Mill Rough, turning over the river Weaver and the Liverpool and Birmingham Canal, he ran up to the village of Audlem, whore he was viewed cicse befo:e the hounds. Passing through the village, the c hurchyard, and several gardens, he ran for Mr. Baker's, of the flighfields, from thence near to 13uer ton Windmill. and up for \Voorc. Here he turned to the left, leaving Pewit Gorse on the right, down for Hatherton Heath, across Doddington Park, through \Valgherton l'ool, turning again to the left down to the river. At this paiod it became so very dark that the huntsman was com pelled to stop the hounds when they were running their fox hard for Henkelow. J. Tomkinson, Esq., of Dor fold, was the only one besides Mlitlen, the huntsman, that witnessed the finish of this excellent day's sport. The run of this day, like others, pioves the stoutness of the Woore country foxes. The distance from the kennels to where the hounds were stopped was twenty-five miles ; and, although neither of the whips were up, Maiden brought every hound home with him. On his return past Dorfo'd, he met with his second whip, and it was half-past ten o'clock at night before they got home to the kennels on the Forest. C UT lON. An order was received at the Post cffice on Tuesday, which we trust will be frequently repeated, to search every newspaper in order to sec if the laws relative to the sending letters in this way was e vaded. We are sorry to hear, that an instance was discovered of its being so, anti that a letter was f ound enclosed to a re spectable firm in this town. Now this is really tr_oo bad, after the Legislature has reduced the postage to an almost nominal amount, and given the greatest boon ever known to the mercantile classes, to endeavour to evade the pay ment of such a trifle by such a shabby manceuvre. The penalties attached to a detection are heavy, and most pro per, and we can have no pity upon tho se who choose to risk the diseavery.—llampshire Independent.
