To that renowned letter of Lord WILLOUGHBY bX Enmsny, to which we adverted two days ago, •there is append3d a list of the manufactured ar titles protected by our present tariff.

Such . ur al lge reasoning, such one-sided conclusions, 4:4 we must own, beyond our comprehension, We - can compare them to nothing but that other specimen of our legislators' wisdom which, ate to encourage the industry and promote la e wealth of the country, prohibits the impor -1111" of all kinds of fish except those delicacies to -r Their Lordships' tables—turbots, and lobsters 1 ,1: al -Ice.

It is only requisite, we believe, - I ) olth ern to exert . themselves with the energy gr e n i ti ng the occasion to gain seats from the hC'es in several counties. But they seem to ave .'Urtno s A Selv 1 - 1' eu that if thcv did not exert them ef es, thc To r i es wou ld allOw them a fair share wathe county representation. They have al eilys a cted, apparently, as if they' w i she d to con late the Tories, and have neitht7 put forth p tneir strength, nor evoked the full support of t ;Me/ which t h ey m i g h t h ave comma oded, in ie ho Pe that the Tories would exercise f ori :eat c' 4l _, ee towa r d s them.

They propose to start two Tories 0 r West Surrey ‘ l. , they have ridden rough - shod .li v er several counties, and they are getting up '4313°816° n in Northumberland to Earl GREY ' S There .s On• ~. is no extreme measure in political war 'are Which they are not ready and willing to em trace, and it is foolishness in their opponents not to exert themselves to the utmost, and use all the means in their power to defeat the Tories. It is said, for example, that the success of Lord SA NDON and Mr. CRESSWELL at Liverpool is chiefly owing to the influence of the parsons. It is certain that those gentlemen have great influ ence in the counties, and equally certain that the Tories would not walk so easily over the course if they were not backed by the Established priest hood. This great body of hired and paid public servants is, therefore, opposed to her • MA JESTY, and the Ministers scarcely do their duty to the QUEEN when they fail to,exert them selves to curb and check this usurping body of men. The dislike of the bulk of the priesthood for the Whig Ministers cannot be increased, and why should the priesthood be patronised and protected by them? Why should not the Whig Journals expose the arrogance and avarice of the priesthood? Why should they not be diligently and continually held up to that odium their in justice and rapacity deserve ? Why should they not be continually brought before the public, as allies of the landlords in maintaining the tax on the people's bread ? These gentlemen are very sus ceptible of being wounded. A miglity array of sectarian hostility and of public disap probation might be directed against them, were the Ministers so to will it ; and they scarcely do themselves and their party justice while they spare and protect their bitterest enemies, and the bitter enemies of the rights and liberties of the people. We conclude by stating that we have just learned with much pleasure that East Sussex is not to be resigned without a struggle to the Tories; and we aagur most!favourably from the Brighton, Lewes, and Rye elections of the suc cess of Mr. SHELLEY. We have received several communications from British merchants engaged in trading with mercantile houses in Alexandria, complaining that MEHEMET ALI utterly disregards that condition of the hatti scheriff which fixes the rate of export duty upon all merchandise throughout the Turkish empire, and we regret to have to add on the authority of letters direct from Alexandria, that these complaints are well-founded. A Correspondent at Malta, usually well informed upon all matters connected with :he East, assures us that Commodore Sir CHARLES NA PIER addressed a letter to the Pacha in May last, re presenting to his Highness in yery energetic terms, that he had not redeemed the pledges made to the Gallant Commodore to restore the Syrian prisoners to their freedom, and to remove all obstacles to that freedom of trade which the SULTAN had granted to all his subjects. The answer of his Highness the VICEROY was satisfactory. He assured the Commo dore that whatever remained to be done was owing to the unsettled state of affairs, but that having accepted and promulgated this finnan, the time was arrived to carry it faithfully into effect. With regard to the monopoly,our Correspondent says that the Pacha's letter stated that it would be abolished in a "manner agree able to the interests of the country,"—a phrase which he appears to think has a very suspicious sound in the mouth of such a master of the chicanery of diplomacy as MEHEMET ALL However, it is gratifying to know that something has been done in the way of reminding MEHEMET ALT that the British Government is not likely to submit to the deprivation of any boon which the SULTAN has conferred upon British subjects trading with any part of the Turkish empire. The VICEROY, moreover, will soon discover that it is not his interest to fall to logger heads with a Government whose influence can be second to none in securing to him and his family the Pachalic of Egypt, and if need be, of obtaining for him from the Porte the remittance of a considerable amount of the im posed tribute. Letters just received from Vienna state that the Porte, alarmed at the progress of the insurrections in its Eu ropean provinces has consented to establish a Chris tian Government at Jerusalem. We trust this news is well founded. Before Commodore Sir CHARLES NA PIER left the Coast of Syria, he perceived the necessity of uniting the towns of Beyrout, Saida, and Tripoli, as far as the plains of Bekar, under the jurisdiction of the EMIR BESCHIR, Prince of LEBANON, whom he deemed it advisable that the Porte should invest with the rank of Pacha. As Prince of the Mountains the EMIR might dispense with the title, but to maintain uniformity in the administration of the Turkish rule, we approve of the Commodore's suggestion that the territory in ques tion should form a Pachalic. As to the EMIR himself, and the mountain tribes who acknowledge his authority, no arrangement could be more popular. It would in fact, be restoring to the EMIR territory of which former Governors had de prived him for imputed acts of treason ; it would give the Prince and his family unbounded confidence in the good faith of the Porte ; and it would raise up in Syria a power capable of protecting the Porte from any machinations of MEHEMET ALI in that quarter. We believe the EMIR himself is most anxious to receive some especial mark of Imperial approbation, and that he rests his hopes of success upon the influence of Great Britain at Constantinople. Should the news from Vienna re late to his advancement to the Government of Jerusalem, we shall hope soon to hear of an improved state of . affairs in Syria. The Madrid papers of the 28th supply us with no news worth relating. It was rumoured that the capital ists of the bank of St. Ferdinand had submitted a series of propositions concerning the loan to the Minister of Finance, but their nature had not transpired. The Go vernment have published the price of coupons, which have fallen to 21. Fives for Account (60 days) were at 264 to 27. The Paris news of Monday is not of much interest, the intervention of Sunday affording in general a cessa tion of political business, even in the anti-Sabbatical metropolis of the gay nation. Our correspondence of that date brings us few facts of importance, the principal one being that the KING and Royal Family had returned rather unexpectedly to Neuilly from their excursion in Normandy. It was generally expected that they would have gone on to their chateau at Eu ; but this project has been suddenly counter-ordered, and they have come back. It is supposed that Louis PHILIPPE, aware of the communication from the British Government urging France to accede to the last protocol of the Conference of London, has been anxious to direct this matter him self, more especially since Marshal SOULT is in the coun try, and the KING is not fond of leaving too much in M. GUIZOT'S power. It had surprised many people that the KING should have left the neighbourhood of the capital with all the Royal Family. The Dukes of ORLEANS and NEMOURS accompanied him, and in case of an emeute having taken place, there was not a single member of the Royal Family capable of acting remaining on the spot. Some sudden reminiscence of this kind may have dis turbed the rural meditations of the KING, and have re minded him that, like an Italian Podesta of the middle ages, he holds a wolf by the ears, and must not let go on pain of being devoured himself. It is said that the house, or rather houses of ROTHS CHILD are ready to issue the new Russian loans, and that in a few days an emission of this paper may be expected in Paris. A rumour had reached Paris from the Levant that the Ambassadors of the Four Powers at Constantinople had given the Porte to understand that their sovereigns would not be displeased at seeing Syria formed into an independent State, and Candia placed under the protec tion of Russia. This combination is said to have origi nated with Prince METTERNICH, but the report does not bear such evident marks of probability as to entitle it to immediate credit. The riots in England caused by the elections, and es pecially those at Liverpool, have caused a painful feeling among the more reflecting portion of the French public. The papers point exultingly to what they call the barba rism of the British nation, and many reflecting men dis pute our claim to that high degree of civilization which we undoubted possess. The wholesale bribery and cor ruption, too, by which so many seats have been carried, have opened a door for the animadversion of our Parisian Contemporaries, of which they have not been slow to avail themselves. The son of the Duke DECAZES was sent some time since to St. Petersburgh, and it is now said that his mis sion was .to obtain the consent of the CZAR to the mar riage of the Prince de JOINVILLE with the Princess SoPHIA of Orange. He is a rather young diplomatist to be entrusted with an affair of so delicate a nature, and he is not very likely to succeed in it. M. Le Gallois, publisher of the Abbe Constant's Bible de la Liberte, has been taken into custody in execution of the judg ment of the Court of Assizes in May last, which condemned him to three months' imprisonment, 300 f. fine, and the costs of the prosecution, fer publishing this work. The Court of Cassatien, on Saturday, annulled a sentence of death, passed by a Council of War, at Bona, on the 29th February, upon four natives accused of robbing and attempt ing to murder some carriers on the road from Bona to Con. staotina. The decision of the Supreme Tribunal is founded on the fact that the accused, not being military men, were not liable to military law. Fortunately the sentence has not been carried into execution, as was the case with Taleb-el-Chourfi, who was executed without waiting for the result of his appeal, the merits of which are to he decided upon in a few days. The Procureur-General has expressed himself strongly before the Court in favour of this appeal. A Nantes paper mentions that as the Cure of Preloux was crossing an open plain, some (la) s ago, during a thunder storm, with an umbrella expanded over his head, it was struck by lightning, but not burnt, while the electric fluid fell to the ground iii a multitude of little sparks at his feet, and he re: ceived no further injury than the pain arisitg from a smart electric shock. The female boa-constrictor at the Garden of Plants recently hats led three eggs, and the three young serpents that have issued from them are of the greatest beauty. od Saturday, between nine and ten in the morning, as a respectai;lv-dreiced female, about thirty years of age, was walking on the Boulevard St. Martin, ncar the theatre of the Ambiga Comique, she was observed suddenly to fold her arms over her bosom, and fall to the ground. A bystander imme diately picked her up, and saw to his horror, when he had i forced cpe2 her arms, that she had plunged a knife into her bosom, and was bleeding profusely. Surgical aid was called in, and her wound was pronounced to be of a very dangerous „nature. Neither the name of this female ncr the motive for her act are known. A lady residing at Bue, between Meudon and Versailles, for her health, occasionally amused herself with firing at small birds in the garden of the house where she lodged. One clay last week, while thus employed, the let fall a number of percussion. caps, and a little girl who was with her stooped to pick them up. In rising again she accidentally caught the trigger of the gun with her frock, and, the muzzle being turned towards her, discharged the contents into her own body, instantly killing her. The •lady was so much affected by this lamentable acci dent that she became delirious, and fears are entertained that she will never be restored to her reason. Buc was nearly on the same day the scene of another deplorable catastrophe. A boy, only ten years old, of ungovernable temper, having peen corrected by his mother for a fault, carried into execution a threat he had often made, and hung himself in a stable. A few few yews ago another boy of about the same age committed suicide in the same village, because he was corrected for play ing truant. On Saturday evening the weather, which had been rather cool for some weeks past, became suddenly much warmer, and at midnight the thermometer stood at 18 degrees above zero of the Centigrade scale, or 64 of Fahrenheit. At 7 o'clock yes terday morning it had risen to 21 C., or 70 F. ; at noon to 27 2.10 C., or 81 F. ; and at 2 o'clock to 28 2.10 C., or 82i F. During the morning, however, and while the sky was perfectly cloudless, the barometer fell considerably, and and about .5 in the afternoon clouds gatherinc , thickly in the west portended a storm. The wind rose, and drove before it with much violence a tremendous cloud of dust, which between 6 and 7 extended all over the metropolis. The wind then shifte‘t to the N. W., and a thundei.stoim ensued, attended with heavy rain, which lasted till nearly nine o'clock. The thermometer still remained at a high point. We quote the following from the Caen Journal In 14.',0 was fought the battle of Formigny, in Normandy, which was followed by the expulsion of the English, who for thirty-three years had kept that country under subjection. In 1486, the hero of that battle, John de Bourbon, in performance of the vow he made on gaining the victory, erected a chapel on the field, dedicated it to Saint Louis, and founded a perpetual mass, to be said daily by two priests for the repose of the souls of those who fell. In 1672 it was raised to the rank of a chapel royal by the great Conde. Although during the first revolu- tion this chapel was converted into a granary, it was so far respected as a monument of glory that the building suffered i.o mutilation; and King Louis Philippe having determined on restoring it, has given orders for the commencement of the works." The cup or vase which the Duke of Orleans determined to send to be run for at the next Goodwood Races, in return for that won by his horse last year, is finished, any, will be sent off to England this day. It was exhibited fur two days at the Jockey Club, and may be thus described :—lt weighs 43 mares, or 344 ounces, and measures in height 211 inches, and in width 13/-inches. Its form is of the age of Francis I , with two ansers composed of figures of Victory with displayed wings, supporting a wreath of the acanthus, gracefully wrought round the neck of the cup. The lower parts of the sneers divide the surface of the cup into two compartments, one of which con tains a representation in relief of a tournament of the 15th cen tury ; and the other, the carousal given by Louis XIV. in 1668, in front of the Tuileries. The costumes of the knight, are copied from plates and drawings made at the time, and preserved in the Royal , Library. On four medallions are, an English race-horse mounted by his jockey—a Limousin horse ridden in the French style—a German horse and an Arabian, each mounted by riders of their respective countries. At the oot is an escutcheon with the cypher of the Prince Royal, sup ported by two armed men, and spaces for the insertion of the names of the winning horse and his owner, the date of the race, &c. The cup was executed by M. Klagmann, who made the rich sculptured ornaments of the sword presented by the city to the Count de Paris, and was finished by M'. Durand, the gold smith, who gained the first medal at the exhibition of the useful arts in 1839. It is valued at 500 guineas. BOURSE—PARIS, MONDAY, JULY 5. Hirst Highest Lowest Last Price Price.

In the same paragraph it is stated that an American ship, which has not these dutieS to pay on Baltic staves • and foreign provisions, is fitted out and navigated at two-thirds of the expense of an English ship; and to this difference of expense, the Reviewer at tributes the decay of our whale fishery, and the increase of that of the Americans. The reader will hardly be lieve, we presume, unless he see it as we now see it, with his-own eyes, that the Quarterly Reviewer, after showing that the increased charge on the English ship arises mainly from our timber duties, which include Baltic staves, and our Corn-laws, which levy the duties on foreign provisions, has the astounding impudence or folly to conclude Such are the blessed effects of free trade." The only free trade that seems to us to exist anywhere is a free trade in lying, in which the Tories carry on a prodigious traffic. They trade, however, on a fictitious • capital, and they " may d e pe n d on it," as their leader, master, and great instructor says, that the bubble will speedily burst, and display them to the world. as they really are, a hapleSs nest of wretched bankrupts in poli tical capacity. POPULARITY OF THE MEASURES OF MINISTERS.— The Times yesterday again bore its testimony to the popularity of the measures of Ministers. " Had not an opinion," it said, " been entertained unfavourable to Ministers, they must by these measures " have carried their point in the town elections by an overwhelming majority." It is so deeply convinced of their popularity and justice, that its feelings are those of a thankful and half-incredulous admiration, that every town in the king dom did not return two Liberals by an overwhelming majority. A more decisive testimony to the utility and propriety of the measures for giving us cheap bread than this of a most reluctant witness, it is impossible to have. It must encourage the Whigs to proceed in their present course of setting trade free, whether in office or out of office, as the sure passport to popular support. We only hope that they will, when they again have an opportunity, make their measures more extensive, and go at once the whole hog, for they could not then be more calumniated than they have now been for attacking a pettitoe. EX PRESS! FROM PARIS. Our accounts from Vienna state, that Prince Metternich had expressed his apprehension that the integrity of the Otto man empire could not be maintained against the numerous enemies raised against it in so many quarters. To propitiate the Christian Powers the Sultan had named a Governor of Jerusalem. The devatches brought by the Levant mail, which arrived in Marseilles on Sunday last, had not reached Paris up to a late hour on Tuesday. Accounts from Toulon of the 2d inst. state that the Alerte, Palinura, and Cerf brigs, and (the Styx steamer, are being fitted out for the Brazil station. The Sentinelle de la Marine maintains that Admiral Hugon was not to be replaced in the command of the French Medi terranean fleet by Admiral Lalande. • Accounts from Barcelona of the 20th ult. announce that the Captain-General of Valencia had, on the receipt of orders from Madrid, embarked for ►he Balearic Isles two regiments of infantry, several squadrons of cavalry, in consequence, it was thought, of the appearance of Admiral Hugon's squadron off those islands. Letters from Madrid of the 29th ult. mention that the' guardianship question would come before the Senate on the 30th. TLe Minister of Finance had presented to the Chamber of Deputies a project of law having for its object to annex to the rational domain all the property which had hitherto be longed to the secular clergy. The King of Hanover dissolved the States of the kingdom, because they had refused to grant the supplies. , His Majesty, quoting the 155th edict of the Constitution of 1840, ordered that the taxes voted during the preceding session should con tinue to be raised from the Ist of July, 1841, to the 30th of June, 1842. A letter from Vienna of the 26th ult, announces the failure of the house of Steiner and Co., one of the most extensive banking establishments in that city. EASTERN NEWS. _ FALMOUTH, JULY 5, HALF-PAST 9.p.M. We haVe merely to announce the safe arrival here this even ing of the Liverpool steamer with the Levant and Indian mail —at least, such as were not despatched via Marseilles. Her dates are—from Malta the 25th, and Gibraltar the 30th ult., bringing 4ti passengers, among whom is Colonel Hodges, late Consul- General of Egypt, who arrived at Malta from Constantinopl e in the French steamer Eurotas. Whilst at Gibraltar Colonel Hodges received a notification of six English line-of-battle ships being orderedZfurthwith to Alexandria. The Liver pool passed the Princess Charlotte, with Admiral Stopford on board, in 10 degrees east, on htr way to England. Her Majesty's ship Thunderer, and Vzard steamer, were in Gibraltar Bay. Plague was still pre= railing to a great extent in Egypt. All political news from the East having already been received, leaves us nothing to notice thereon. _ _ Also arrived this evening, her 'Majesty's packet Seagull, from the West Indies ; sailed from' St. Thomas's, June 2; Porto R.co, June 3, and from Cape Henry, June 7 : on freight sixty thousand dollars. She brings accounts from Jamaica to the 2d of June, but no particular news that one can ascertain. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.

BRIGHTON, JULY 5. The Pavilion at Brighton is undergoing external repair. The windows in the dome copula are painted of a lighter colour than they were before, and have a much better effect. It was some time since said that her Majesty intended honour ing Brighton with her presence, and the above circum stance is looked upon as an encouragement to the hope of a Royal visit.

STATE OF BUSINESS IN JAMAlCA.—Attachments are the order of thc day. The example set by the Colonial Bank is at present generally followed by the mercantile community, and we much fear that the result will be the ruin of hundreds of pet sons—the total destruction of the hopes and prospects of many who have hitherto been valuable members of the several communities in which they resided previously to the establi s h ment o f t h e Banks. It must be admitted that failures were not so numerous then as they are now ; things have sadly alterej for the worse; the over liberal encoura Ce ment held out by the Colonial and other Banks, and the facility with which parties procured cash on notes of hand drawn and endorsed by good, bad, and indifferent ; but so foolish specu lations have led to the commercial distresses which now pre vail, and which, alarming as it is, has not reached its height; from this period we may date the death-blow which has been given toi the commerce of our town, since then attachments have been frequent in every part of the island. WAYS AND MEANS.—THE INCOME TAX.—The estimate of the amount requi ed to be raised by taxes fur the service of the year 1841, amounts to no less a sum than one million ninety-five thousand dollars.

CRIMINAL COURT. T .(TIIIS DAY.) OLD CO UR T., (Before Lord ABINGEH. andlNir. Justice WILLIAMS ) John Chuang, a soldier in the Artillery, was indicted for the want' murder of John Grace, alto a soldier in the'sarne corps, at Woolwich, on'the 14th of June last. • Counsel for the prosecution, Messrs. Adolphus, Doane, and Pallant‘ne; for the defence, Mr. Clarkson. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case, and the following witnesses were then called. John Cundit examined - Was in the barrack-yard on the evening of the 14th of June last; heard a shct fired in the room 64; went, in consequence, into that room, and saw Grace leaning on thewindow-sill ; Gheratty came forward to witness and said " 1 am the man who shot him." Witness saw the paper or wadding of the musket burning ; looked behind the itcor, and saw a musket leaning against the wall. Cross-examined—The pi isoner had a stripe on his arm-- that was in consequence of his being a gout soldier. He had a good character in the regiment. Wiliiam Cokeland examined—ls a drummer of the 6th bat talion of Artillery now stationed at WoolOich. Knew deceased about a month. Remembered the evening of the 14th o June. At about eight o'clock on that evening went to the. barrack-room No. 64, and saw deceased writing at the window sill. The prisoner was cleaning his pouch on his bed. There was a cut on the prisoner's face, and he appeared intoxicated. Witness afterwards went to the privy in the yard, and when there heard the repo r t o f a gun. Ran in consequence to the win dow of room No. 64, whence the report proceeded, and heard deceased exclaim "1 am shot, lam shot." Went to the sergeant of the guard, and gave him information of the circumstance. Cross•examined—lt is usual with soldiers, when going on convict guard, to h ave t h e i r arms l oa d e d . When they come off guard they unload their muskets. Richard Cary, a corporal of Artillery examined—Remem bered on the evening of the 14th of June, to have met the deceased carried out of the barrack-room, No. 64, entered the room, and behind the door saw a musket. Felt the musket, and found it warm. Witness put his finger down the barrel of the musket, and it came up blackened ; in consequence came to the conclusion that it was lately fired off. Witness next examined a pouch lying on the bed. Found one bundle of ammunition entire, the second bundle was broken and one of the cartridges removed. Porterfield, examined—ls Sergeant-Major of the 6th battalion of Artillery. On the evening of the 14th June last, at about eight o'clock, was directed to put hand-cuffs on the prisoner, who was then confined in a cell in the barrack. The prisoner turned up his sleeves and willingly offered his wrists to have the hand-cuffs put. on ; he observed to witness that, up to that Vine he had been a good soldier,that now he was a mur derer ; he also said he had been vexed, irritated, and maddened, and in reply to witness, said it was not the bombardier (de ceased) who irritated him. He (the prisoner) pointed out a cut on his face to witness, who understood from what fell from him that he had been fighting. He then asked witness if Grace was dead, and being answered in the negative, said, ‘, I hope in God he won't die." Witness visited the prisoner next morning, when the latter again asked if Grace was dead? Witness replied that he had died at three o'clock that morn ing. The prisoner then turned round on his bed and sobbed. Cross examined—M•Gh:natty seemed to be perfectly sensible of what he had done, and to be greatly grieved at it. John Duggan examined—ls Assistant Surgeon in the Ar tillery Barracks at Woolwich. Was called on to visit de ceased on the evening of the 14th of June last. The deceased had received a gun-shot wound. The ball entered low in the back, and traversed upwards, through th, vertebra:. It was extracted from the right breast below the nipple. Captain Sommerville examined—ls Captain ofthe section of artillery to which deceased belonged ; visited the latter at the hospital.. In reply to witness deceased could assign no reason for the conduct of M‘Gheratty. He had some short time be fore refused to lend the prisoner money. The latter had, as the reward of his being a good soldier got a stripe on his taTti ; in a short time he was to receive a second stripe. Mr. CLARKSON then addressed the Jury for the prisoner, and Lord ABINGER having summed up, the Jury, after a short deliberation returned a verdict of manslaughter. Lord ABINGER' then, in a very low and impressive voice, ad dressed the prisoner, whose demeanour evinced how deeply he was imbued with a sense of the crime with which he then stood charged. His Lordship said that the Jury had come to a very merciful conclusion, but one which was probably the impres sion of the whole audience who had been present at the trial. It appeared that the prisoner had entertained for the deceased a particular affection, and his owe reflections on the crime he had committed, and his remorse would be a greater punishment to him—a greater source of anguish and regret, than any sentence which could be passed upon him, as he must feel through the remainder of his days that he had the misfortune of causing the death of an innocent man to whom he was attached. Under these circumstances the Court was inclined to pass a less severe sen tence than it should otherwise have mine. The sentence, therefore, was that John) M'Gheratty be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve calendar months. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) Lownow, JULY 7.—Wind this day at mon, W. to S.W.

This day being appointed for the nomination of Candidates for the representation of Middlesex, and there being a very prevalent rumour that, although no opposition to either of the late Members had yet been openly declared, it was still in tended by one side or other to make a struggle for the two seats, Brentford presented at an early hour a scene of bustle nearly equal to what has been observed at a contested elec tion. The bannermen of the Brentford Reform Association paraded the street, di=playing flags with various devices in fa• your of liberty and free trade, whilst the Members of the Tory Committee rode to aid fro, equally ostentatious of Wood's colours, and the banners appropriately inscribed vWI such mottoes as " Speed the plough," and " Down with the bastilles !" • Shortly before ten o'clock, Colonel Thomas Wood, the late Conservative Member, preceded by a number of freeholders, on hosseback, who were headed by Sir Rater Laurie, arrived upon BrentfordGreen, the usual place of the hustings. in a car riage and four, in which he was accompanied by Sir John Gib• bon and Msjor Wood. He was followed by a train of carriages, and a considerable number of people wearing his colours. blue and orange favours, and shouting " Wood for ever," " Speed the plough," At ten o'clock precisely the Sheriffs, M ssrs. Gibbs and Farncombe appeared upon the hustings, and proceeded with the prescribed tormalities. The usual oath was administered to them by a Magistrate, Captain Hague, and when thee had read the Queen's writ, the Bribery Act was read by the Under Sheriff, Mr. Bunhill. Mr. Byng not having yet arrived, some delay took place, anti in the mean time, Mr. Bacon (of Kent) a distinguished Anti-Corn-law champion, came forward on the hustings with a great bag in his hand, which, he said, " was not like Castlereagh's green bag ; for the papers it contained were not intended fur the destruction of the Queen, but, for the good of her people:" He then, amidst loud cheering, scattered its contents amongst the crowd. They consisted of short, pithy, and instructive tracts upon the Corn laws, from which we select at random and in haste the folloAing : " REMEMBER! Every dozen of flour you consume pays 9d. tax for monopoly. The price is 2s. 3d., and it would be Is. 6d. if there was not a Bread-tax. " Working men,—You are told that the masters are ty rants ! Is that any reason why you should pay 91 tax oa every dozen lbs. of flour you and your families eat? " You are told the factory system is a curse. Is it made a blessing by your paying 2s. 3d. a dozen lbs. for flour: instead of Is. 6d ? " You rre told that the masters want to reduce wales when the Bread-tax is abolished ! Has the Bread-tax kept up wages ? " You are told the masters have reduced wages ? Then the Bread-tax has not kept up wags. " You are told th a t c h ea p flour moans low 'Frage* ! Flour is selling in America at little more than half our price, and wages there are nearly double yours. Wages arc always highest when bread is cheapest. You are told not to join the middle class in getting a re peal of the bread tax. " Wcrking Men ! Who suffer most from the bread tax—you or the middle class? "You are told that the middle class kept aloof when the working men opposed the bread tax ! The middle class were then wrong and the working class right. Is that a good reason why the working class should now be wrong because the middle class are right? " You are told to keep aloof from the Anti-corn-law 'hum bugs!' Your pockets cannot keep aloof; you pay 9d. tax upon every dozen lbs. of flour you and your families eat. ";You are told tolget the Charter first, and repeal the Corn law afterwards! Will yc.o get the Charter any sooner because you are paying 91 tax upon every dozen of flour you eat ? " You are told that We may get. the CHARTER as soon or sooner than we shall abolish the bread-tax. " Look at facts! One hundred and seventy-nine Members of the House of Commons voted in favour of Mr. Villier's mo tion for going into the question of the Corn-law, and forty-six voted in favour of Mr. Attwood's motion for going into the question of the Charter ; hundreds of newspapers advocate the repeal of the Corn-law, and four newspapers advocate the Charter. " You are told that something very dreadful may happen if we abolish the bread-tax before you get UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE! " Run the risk of all the consequences of getting three loaves where you now get only two ! " You are told that the Anti-Corn-law men are opposed to Chartism ! They are opposed to no party ;—their motto is breadism, and their wish is to benefit all parties. " Remember ! Every dozen of flour vou and your families consume pays a tax of 9d. for monopoly." Some of the crowd responded, amidst great laughter, to the dis tributor's comments upon the various papers he flung amongst them, " Bacon, we'll go the whole hog with yeti." About half-past ten o'clock the flags of the Brentford Reform Asso ciatiun, the members of which formed the van of Mr. Byng's procession appeared upon the Green before the hustings. Their banners bore various inscriptions ; such as " The Queen and the People " " Liberty, Free trade. A fair day's work and a fair day's pay." One of them carried a lofty staff, surmounted with a WOOO-en head, borrowed from a barber's block, and decorated with a fool's cap. This was ejected with immense cheering and laughter. The crowds in the area fronting the hustings previously to this contained far mole policemen than electors; but now it be came densely filled in a few seconds, and the long line of car riages which accompanied Mr. Byng could with difficulty make their way around the space upon the outskirt of the assemblage. The venerable gentleman himself hid been met at Kew-bridge by a body of the electors, who took the horsee from his car riage and drew him to the hustings, his appearance on which was hailed with prodigious cheering. S. WHITBREAD, Esq.—lt was many years since he had pre sented himself bef re the electors of Middlesex to perform the duty which was then imposed upon him. When he proposed his Hon. Friend Mr. Byng in 1818, even at that now distant period he had completed twenty-eight years of uninterrupted service—(Hear and cheers)—for the county of Middile,ex, ..He. hail now completed fifty-one 'years of uninterrupt, d service, and it was for them to sly whether he had viol:veil in any delzree that mutual good faith and consistency which had bound both parties together for so long a period. 'lt was true that Middlesex (sits a small county in comparison with others, but being the metropolitan county it was the very first in im portance. The constituency enjoyed many privileges—amongst them was the valuable one of watching over the conduct of their Representatives, mid it was for the electors to say w lie ther Mr. Byng had ever shown even a single symptom• of wavering or hesitation —( Cries of " No, no," and cheers.) He knew that there were many and conflicting interests in the county, but his Hon. Friend had never in the course of his long Parliamentary life conciliated one interest at the expense of any other—his whole object was to do all for the general in terests of the whole community.—( Cheer s. ) The usual lan guage of proposers was that they pleaded for the cause, not for the man; but his Hon. Friend had served so long and so faith fully, that he could not on the present occasion seotrate the man from the cause—when he spoke of one he spoke of both. He was proposing a man who appeared before them for the 15th time— the father of the House of Commons, and he trusted that the manner in which they would that day treat his Hon. Friend who had served them so ',mg, would show whether they were as consistent as his Hon. Friend. That long experience had convinced him that • the political principles of the political leaders with whom he had acted in his youth, were the only ones by which the Government of this country could be carried on for the benefit of the people at large. It was with that feel ing that at his advanced age he came forward asking their suffrages in order to support a liberal and a good Ministry.— (Loud cries of " Oh, oh,' and cheers.) He would fearlessly assert that it was the conviction upon the mind of his Hon. Friend, and he came forward in order to carry out that convic tion, to support a great, a good, and a liberal Ministry, who had, with the sanction of the Crown—(Uproar)—they had better hear before they condemned. He said that the Ministry were about to introduce one of the most salutary measures for the relief of industry that had ever been propounded. Undoubtedly discussion upon that question was stifled, but that was not the fault of the Ministers. It might be a want of taste en his part to introduce any irritating topic, when there was to be no op position—( Cheers)—but he could not help speaking the truth. —(Cheers.) He would content himself with Proposing his Hon. Friend, George - Byng, Esq., who, by his consistency and by his knowledge of the wants and the wishes of the constitu ency—who, by his unflinching integrity in public, and his great benevolence in private life, as a fit and proper person to represent the county of Middlesex in the ensuing Parliament ; and it rested for them to show that there was some truth itt the stability of public favour.—(Cheers.) Mr. 'furl.; Eaa,llll. P. , said he came forward for the third t imet o second the nomination of his Hon. Friend, because every time his Hnn. Friend had cstablishedfresh claims to the favour not only of the constituency of Middlesex, but to the country at large.—(Loud cheers.) During his long Parliamentary experience he had seen some of his political friends wax cool in the cause. He had seen other: become recreant ' and turn their traitorons arms against those friends with whom, for a long period of years, they had acted, but the course pursued by his Hon. Friend, whether in adver sity or prosperity, whether his political friends were in or out of office, had still been the same. He had ever been found advo cating_ the cause of the people, and so long as the connection existe beta eon him and the constituency of Middlesex, they would find iim thesame.—(Cheers. ) Hitherto their struggles had been in favour of civil, religious, and political lib, rty. A new snuggle was now commencing, and never would it end until they had been successful; it was the cause of commercial freedom. He would ask was trade in that prosperous state that it could bear the imposition of fresh taxes ?—(Ci ies of " No. no.") He. would ask was the poor in that state that it was a matter of indifference to them whether the prices of provi sions was high or low ? Whether would the ( lectors support an increase of taxes, or measures which would increase the comforts of the people—which would increase labour, and bring provisions of all kinds within the reach of all ?—( Cheers.) lie had long advocated those measures, and when he found them sanctioned by the experience of his Hon. Friend, and through him by a large majority of the constituency of Middlesex, he had no doubt whatever that the struggle must soon come to a layout able issue. It was with pleasure he seconded the nomination of his Hon. Friend, and long might he continue to fill that honourable post, which he had occupied upwards of half a century. Sir Join; GIBBON then came forward. He said, Electors cf Middlesex—(Great hooting, hissing, and cries of " Bravo," for some ininutes)—l shall give you plenty of time, for I am in perfect good humour.—(Renewed uproar, and cries of " Hush-a-by, baby.") As to Mr. 13yng's private character nobody could say a word against it.—(Loud cheers.) But as to his political conduct it was a very different thing in his opinion.—( Great uproar.) It was natural that a Lora of the 'treasury, and the brother of a Poor-law Commissioner, should support the present Administration. ,,, Were they in favour of the Poor-law ?--(Cries cf •Is es, " No, and great cheering.) He was a decided enemy to that measure, and' had shown himself so for years.—(Uproar, and a cry of •• Who transported the man for catching fish ?") He trusted he had always done his duty as a Magistrate, and he had done it faithfully.—(Cheers, hisses, great confusion, end a cry of " Who starved the cat?") Englishmen generally gave fair play, and heard both sides of the question, and would they re fuse to aca in a similar manner?—( Renewed uproar.) The SHERIFF came forward and requested that the electors wouldive every gentlem an a fair hearing. Sir J OHN GIBBON resumed. He had heard the Queen's name mentioned by one of the opposite party. He was as loyal as any one present. He loved the Queen—(Lau g ht er , and cries of " Don't you wish you may get her.") • That was w h y be wished to get rid of the Lords of the Treasure, and the bedchamber Lords by whom she was at present sur rounded. He honoured and revered the Queen, but he dis liked the present Administration. With regard to Mr. Byng lie would say that his private character stood as high, as his public and political character stood lore.—( Groans and hisses.) He therefore proposed, as that Hon. Gentleman's colleague in Parliament, a gentleman who would at least neutralise his votes an d who had fairly and honourably done his duty to his consti tuents, Thomas good, Esq.—( G rea t c h eer i ng and hissing.) Ile repeated that the Hon. seconder of Mr. Ilyng was rot quite impartial in his advocacy of the present Ministry. because if t hey went out of office it would put money out of his poc ket; and if the Poor-laws were done away with, his brother would be obliged to give up his oflice.—( Great confusion.) He would conclude by proposing, as a fit and proper person to re present the county of Middlesex, Thomas Wood, Esq. (Much cheering and uproar.) COI. NEWHIGATE had much pleasure in seconding the ne mir.ation of Col. Wood as Member for the county of Middle sex, and he slid so with the more pleasure because he believed the electors had every reason to be satisfied wi!li his Parliamen tary conduct. He had supported those measures which were for the maintenance of the institutions they so highly valued, and he had consistently opposed her Majesty's Min:sters.— ( Great uproar and cheering.) His conduct with reference to Mr. Byng proved that he was no factious Tory, and that be was not actuated by any wish to give that gentleman factious opposition. —( Hooting, hissing, and cheers from the Tory party.) He repeated that the conauct of the Conservatives of Middlesex and their Representative, Col. Wood, towards that venerable gentleman proved that they were no factious party. But ho warned the Honourable Gentleman, however highly respectable his private character might be, and noise had proved their respect for it more than the Conservatives of Middlesex, that he must not look for a continuance of that. forbearance.—(Hear, and cheers.) Mr. Byng had identified himself with her Majesty's Ministers, who, he believed, were aiming a vital stab at the dearest in terests of the country. The circumstance of his being seconded on the present occa,ion by one who was so nearly connected with her Majesty's .Ministers, identified him still more with that. Administration. He warned him therefore— (Much confusion)—he named him that those who had hitherto div:derl their interest between the Conservative Can didate and himselr were daily disappearing from the register. He believed that those elt ctors had acted from conscientious motives. In former years Mr. Byng's political conduct bad commanded their respect, if it did not meet their approval. They respected him as a politician as much as the Conserva tives now re+pected him as a private gentleman. He was now, however, identified with the policy of Ministers; first, he had voted for the appropriation clause ; secondly, he had coalesced with Mr. Hume ; and thirdly, he had supported the present Ministry. His private character was not consistent with his public one, for he had given thousands for the support of the Church, and at the same time had voted for the appropriation clause. He was a matt of high personalcharacter, and had al ways professed himself attached to his duties as a country gen tleman, but the policy of Ministers now, which he had sup ported, would ruin the agricultural interests—(Cries of" No.") He could only say that he looked at his conduct as that of one suNortit-g the institutions he professed to admire with the left hand, while he struck them to the heart with the right arm of his political conduct. On these grounds he must .reluctantly refuse to continue to support the Hon. Gentleman, and he trusted that on the next occasion he would not give them the painful duty of opposing him. He had great pleasure in se conding the nomination of Colonel Wood. The HIGH SHERIFF then inquired if there was any other candidate, when no other appearing, the show of hands was taken. The crowd appeared unanimous respecting Mr. Byng, but not more than fifty or sixty hands were held up for Colonel Wood. The Sir xuirF then said—Gentlemen, you have .been called here to select two fit and discreet knights to serve in the ensu ing Parliament, and you have chosen G eorge Byng, Esq.— ( Cheers)—and Thomas Wood. Esq.—(No, no)-1 therefore declare them duly elected.—( Cheers ) Mr. 13rsa then came ferward and said, they had that day done him the greatest honour that was ever conferred on any private gentleman, they had that day called upon him for the fifteenth time—(Cheers)—to serve them in Parliament. He had never had one feeling from the time he was first proposed to them, and that was not to serve himself, but to serve them.—(Loud cheers.) The late Parliament was dissolved because a majority of the opponents of her Majesty's Ministers, together with all those who were interested in the support of unjust monopolies, had arrayed themselves against the Government, who were determined to oppose every thing in the shape of monopoly.—( Cheers.) He (Mr. Byng) had uniformly, as the Hon. Baronet had men tioned, supported her Majesty's Government for ten years.— (Cheers.) And why ?—hecause there never was a Govern ment that had ever rendered equal or a tenth part the service to the country that had been rendered by that Govern ment—(Cheers)—and the very last act they had brought for ward had rendered them dearer to him than they ever were before.—( Cheers. ) Was it ever before known when money was wanted to pay for an expensive war which had placed this country at the head of the world, as it now was by the whole world's confession— ( Cheers)—that instead of imposing fresh taxes they should reduce the taxes, yet increase the revenue ? (Cheers.) He (Mr. Byng) must contend that the greatest evil that could exist to the injury of our trade and manufac tures, was the existing Corn-laws—( Loud cheers)—and the monopoly of sugar—(Loud cheers)—the monopoly of every thing that came from the West and East Indies. The Government knew that this system must be reformed, and they Lad attempted to reform it, because they wished ,o do justice to all classes, and to give at the same time sufficient protection to the landed interest and to the West India interest.— ( Cheers.) He (Mr. Byng) had been deceived in the opera tion of what they called the sliding duty.—(Cheers.) He had for the last ten years found that it bad not the effect he Lad hoped and trusted, namely, that of keeping the price of corn nearly the same on every year.—( Cheers.) But he could assure them that, within the last five years, he had known wheat to be sold at 4s. 3d. a bushel, and at 10s. a bushel.— ( Cries of " The Torees would have it still at 10s. a bushel.) What the Government whiled was to throw open the trade of the country, and thus give employment to that portion of the population who were now unfortunately employed only three days of the week in the manufacturing districts. Addi tional employment would get the people money, and money would get the people bread, and this was a benefit that a 1 could appreciate. Providence had destined that all mankind should have free intercourse with each other, and if the Eng lish nation entered int o a t rea ty w ith th e other nations of the earth, the mutual wants of both parties could be supplied. England owed more than any country in existence, yet it was the country possessed of the most money. America had no national debt, yet they owed this country twenty minimal of money, which they would gladly pay in tobacco or corn if Eng land entered into a treaty with them. With the exception of the city, the cause of free trade had a triumph in the ntetropo lis. Of the Corn-laws he should say that it was his belief, if corn were brought into this country, it would tend in some degree to raise the price of corn on the Continent, and thus en hance the rate of wages, and enable this country still to com pete in the foreign markets with all others. He believed that if the farmer could not afford to pay the present rent, the only resource for the landlord's adoption would be to lower it.— ( Leud cheers.) The landlord had nothing else to do, and as every necessary of life would be consequently cheaper, he could afford to live upon a less nominal income. —(Hear, hear, and cheers)—and no landlord who was a Christian would or should charge a tenant more than he was able to pay—( Tremendous ) Every landlord should look upon his tenants with feelings something, akin to what he regards his family with, and perhaps with feelings even more kindly, as being more numerous they were the more important. Some few yeas hence the House of Commcns appointed a Commit tee to inquire into the state of the agricultural distress, and he was glad to be able to say that two tenants of his were those whose clear and lucid views of the matter under consideration, were most appreciated. After the evidence of the Committee was printed, a French gentleman, whom he bad known during the revolution, being invited to dine with him, said that after reading it he should feel happy in accepting the invitation, as he was certain o' getting a good dinner, and that if every farmer and every landlord held the same relations, the population of England would be better and more cheaply supplied•with food. Let every landlord lay out more money and do all in his power to improve his land, and he will be able to say to has te nants, " if I do justice to you, I have afright to see that you do justice to your labourers"— (Cheers)—and it was most .Teasing to hire that such was the use which was Made of the property which it was his lot to possess.—(Cheers.) He could assure the electors that as long as be lived he should abide by the principles which he had throughout his past life professed and adh e r e d t o , an d he w ould always support those 'Ministers who had contributed so much to the liber ties and happiness of the millions in this country. ( The Hon. Member concluded amidst the most prodigious and continued cheers. ) Colonel Wool) next addressed the electors, but he was re ceived with a tremendous din of hisses' ' groans, hooting, and laughter, which b e i ng con ti nue d throughout the whole of hii speech, rendered him for the most part inaudible. In front of him was held up this inscription—" Wood's maiden speech— Oh ! spare my uncle's pension," close beside which were dis played two pike-staffs surmounted each with a loaf, one very small, covered with crape, and inscribed with—" Wood's the other of gigantic dimensions, decorated with the Whig colours, and inscribed—" Byng's loaf." We understood the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman to thank the electors for again returning him as their Representative, and he assured them he should always pursue the same course as hitherto.—(A cry of " You are the right sort cf Conservative to take care of your self," and another of " Ah, and he takes care of the rabbits too.") Mr. Whitbread had said, that after a long life his colleagre, Mr. Byng, was allied with the friends in connection with whom he commenced his political life; but he (Colonel Wood) could tell both the Hon. Gentlemen that the party was now broken up, and that was the lamentable consequence of a dissolution.—( Renewed uproar.) That dissolution, he confi dently affirmed, had broken up for ever that powerful party of which Mr. Whitbread's father was so distinguished a member. —(Hisses.) He had heard Mr. Byng on a former occasion tell a story of the coalition which, having been formed after Mr. Pitt's death, vaunted that they would send the Opposition home in two hackney coaches, but he (Colonel Wood) hoped that when he next appeared upon these hustings, lie should he able to say he sent home the Opposition in two hackney cabs. —( Laughter arid great interruption, which rendered the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman totally inaudible for several minutes, in which he seemed much excited, and some of the crowd called out, " Don't cry ; have you lost any rabbits ?") Look ing hack at the short four years in which he had discharged his duty as Representatire of that great county, he could not say there were many measures brought to maturity for the benefit of the country.. tlia(t c He unhappy did rasp .pintsoetuptabyrl separation o e onf t hthoefe Ministers ; he parties measures v'4' t h e a h t d w coi e vu t i • l e di b d r o a ti a ji e lrye fi c e r b a lu l an t m o tre i ‘ be country, few, if any, had originated with the Ministry.

On the 29th April an amend ment was proposed, not b Sir Robert Peel, f but by Lord H ow i c k , the son of Earl Grey, the oldest and staunchest Whig in Parliament. ( Great interrup tion, and cries of " pay for it.") His amendment was carried by a majority of 12, and the next day the Whigs, for the first time, brought forward their Budget. Now they pretended that the Budget was arranged beforehand, but if so, it would have been mentioned, as so great a change ought to be mentioned in the Queen's speech.---( Interruption.) They now pretended at the hustings that their object was to give the peo ple cheap bread, and to promote commerce, but in fact they introduced their measures merely for the purpose of raising re venue —not because the revenues of the country had fallen off, but because that peace -loving Ministry had increased theex penditure.—( G roans , arida cry of " What do you say of the Tory war ?") H e wou ld sa y that was a war that was attended v w utio i n. th some glory, and if it did nothing else, it put, down re a little —(Renewed uproar.)

The duty was now 635. upon such sugar, and they wanted to - e ar when the price of sugar was 60s. the lower it to 365. Last s same Government re:ieed all change. And why ? because, said teey, e engaged ina great experiment—to see if we can not grow sugar' we are by means of free labour." And now, when sugar had fallen—(Cries of " How much ?)—Why a penny in the pound—(Laughter) — it had fallen to 40s. And now they s aid they would abandon those expectations of. free - grown sueer from the West In s_ die for that great country the East Indies, which aline could grow sufficient to supply, not early this country, but one half of the world. They would hazard all our best interests in order to open our markets to Brazil, and above all to Cuba, where the horrible slave trade existed in fall force.—(Hear, hear, hear.) We remonstrated EVENING SUN. with the Americans upon that traffic and most wis e ly the', ' said, "Destroy the market for their produce, and you destroy the trade. Now, as to timber, what was the proposition ? The duty upon cheap timber was now 10 s . a l oad, and upon Baltic timber 595. They proposed to raise the duty upon the cheap timber, upon that used by the poor to 20s. and reduce the duty upon the Baltic, which was used by the rich to 30s.— (Laughter.) It was all for revenue, nothing but revenue. He would admit that the lowering of duties on articles of common consumption and the raw material, would increase consumppon and benefit the people, but the immediate effect would not be beneficial to the revenue. They would destroy : the shipping interest—th e y would destroy th e Canadas; arid they must grant compensation.—(Loud laughter.) Th e n he would come to the Corn-laws. For a long time he had been of opinion that when the proper opportunity attired, a con,iderable reduction should be made in the scale of duties which regulated the importation of corn.—(" How long have you thought so? you never said so before.") These dcties at first were much lower, and were raised. in order to conceiliate the landed interest, but it was to be remembered that during the ten years they had been in force this country had increased in population and prosperity.—(Laughter.) His Hon. Colleague bad a great horror of monopolies, but there was one to which he had not alluded—the monopoly of power. The question was, who were the men who were to administer the affairs of this great nation.—( Hear, hear.) That was the question which had caused their assembling on that occasion. He had always opposed the present Govern ment, which his most worthy colleague had assteadily supported. But he believed the present measures of the Government would have a tendency to drag the Hon. Gentleman far beyond that line which his own good sense would point out to be the halting place. He believed there were men in the coml . - try who if they were called to the councils of the Seveieign would show at least equal ability and equal integrity as het. presets:. advisers ; men attached to the ancient ancient insti tutions oc the country.—(Cries of " Oh" and laughter.) Weie they (the electors) not attached to those institutions, framed by their ancestors, and under which civil and religious liberty— (" And the debt;" laughter)—had been carried to a. pitch unequalled to any other part of the world Under them all the wishes and wants of the people of this great ccuntry might be complied with, under them they might have just laws and economical Government. As he bad before said those men would give just laws, eco nomical Government, and commercial freedom—commercial freedom by which those cultivated fields and beauteous plains which bad been raised to the highest pitch of cultivation .would be continued in that happy state. When our population were shortly supplied by those fields, then we might look to foreign countries for our bread. If there were men who could ac complish all these things he would continue that independent course—( Loud laughter)—which a Member for the great county of Middlesex ought to pursue. He thanked them for the confidence they had again reposed in him, and which he assured them, on the word of an honour able man, be would never abuse. He should now return to renew thole arduous duties which he had scarcely left, seeking no other reward than the conscientious discharge of his duty, and he was sure that would secure their approbation. ' Mr. U:AD said they had begun in good humour, and he hoped they would finish in the same way. He was about to propose a vote of thanks to the Sheriffs—(Cheers)--and he would beg t 3 c:aim their indulgence for a few minutes, as he did not wish his old friends in Middlesex to suppose that his character was changed, and that he was going to run away without answering the attack that had peen made on him.—(Loud cheers.) He never would be the man to strike the first blow, but when it was struck he hoped he had too much English spirit not to return it.—(Loud cheer ing.) He could not help drawing a contrast between the con dact of the Whigs and the Tories on the present occasion— Sir Jong Greeost attempted to address the meeting, but the uproar was so great that he was obliged to give way, and Mr. WHITBREAD resumed. Both himself and Mr. Tufnell had confined themselves to recommending the candidate of their choice, while Sir J. Gibbon, Colonel Newdigate, and Mr. Wood had attacked all three. —(Cries of " No, no," w Yes," and great uproar.) It had been said that Mr. Byng was there by teleration, but he would say that Mr. Byug was their re presentative as the free and independent choice of the body of electors of Middlesex.—(Loud and continued cheering.) One word about Mr. Tuffnell. He was charged with coming there as agent of the Government, but was it because Mr. Tuffnell was a man of talent, and was asked to take a portion of the responsibility of the Government that he was to be told that he was less independent than any gentleman on that plat form ?—( Renewed sneering.) He would tell the electors that Mr. Tuftiell's father, years ago, proposed Mr. liyng for that county, and that on various occasions, Mr. Tufnell himself hall seconded his nomination, and so long as Mr. Byng consented to be put in nomination. and so long as he (Mr. W.) had health and strength to support him, he hoped that Mr. Tuf nell, whether in er out of office, would show himself a sinceie friend of the cause.—( Loud cheers.) dir. Wood's attack upon bimse!f he- would dismiss in a word. He (Mr. Wood) had taken the trouble to ask him, confidentially, what he had done in the French Revolution, and his (Mr. Whitbread's) answer was " Nothing ; I was not then born."—( Great laug,hter and cheering.) they were all liable to mistakes, and he forgave Mr. Wood, because, in the first place, Mr. Wood had made the mistake, that he was thrive candidate for Middlesex, and Colonel Newdigate and Sir John Gibbon had also made mistakes, because he (dir. Whitbread) felt that their speeches were never intended for the hustings, but for their own private party, somewhere in the neighbourhood of Stains:, that evening. —(Laughter and cheers.) He begged to pio,sise the cordial thanks of the meeting to the two gentle men who had presided with so much kindness and impartiality that day.— ( Cheers. ) Sir Joni GIBBON seconded the motion, and was pro ceeding to make some obs erva ti ons i n rep l y to dir. Whitbread, but the noise and contusion was so great that he was obliged tts retire. Col. NEWDIGATE said, as allusion had been made to him. he would merely observe that he skould prove the soundness his views by the result of theuest election. Mr. GEO. IlacoN begged permission of the Sheriffs to sev a few words. It appeared to him that the greatest evil th•i• had to contend with was the parsons of the Established Chureti. —(Great uproar, hooting, hissing, cheering, and roars of laughter.) . gii J.'G p3BoN, with great vehemence—This is disgraceful. Mr. BACON attempted to proceed, but the noise was - so great that he was obliged to desist. - The SitEatris their returned thanks, and the meeting 'Se parated. THE BOY JONES - - ---- • - The boy Edward Jones. who, it be remembered, has on three different occasions effected a most mysterious entrance into Buckingham Palace (and, according to his own account, a fourth, but on which occasion he escaped without detection). was on the 14th of last month liberated from Tothill-stret t Gaol, his period of imprisonment having expired. Whilst in prison we are told Jones behated remarkably well; he was quiet and orderly, and even exemplary in his conduct, so much so that the Governor had not in any one instance cause of complaint. Since the liberation of this youth, who has gained so much notoriety, he has been frequently seen on Constitu tion-hill, and in the immediate neighbourhood of Buckingham Palace, which being communicated to the authorities, orders were given to the police to watch his movements, which was accordingly done ; but there was nothing in his manner or behaviour different from those who daily frequent the Parks in hopes of obtaining a sight of royalty. Still it appears he was deemed a dangerous character, and meditated another entrance into the Palace. Without, therefore, going into details and rumours of suspicion, we may state that Edward Jones, the uninvited visitor of Queen Victoria, has been taken quietly in hand by the proper authorities and placed on board the Dia mond emigration ship, bound to Australia, we believe, or some other of the English colonies. We also understand that Jones is apprenticed as a seaman on board the Diamond for five years. His father thinks it is only for three years, that he is going to Port William, and will in a twelvemonth return, when he will receive wages, and be allowed to remain at hone with his friends for a short time. He (the boy's father) also thinks that his son left London for Gravesend on Friday last, but we bare been told that, although the Diamond sailed from Gravesend on Friday, Jones,_ accompanied by an officer of the Thames police, only I left London by railway on Monday last, and that orders were given to those in whose charge he was not to lose sight of him until he was placed on board the Diamond. in the harbour of Cork. Jones's frequent appearance iu the Parks, since his 'liberation from Tothill-street prison., naturally gave rise to the suspicion that he meditated another entrance into the Palace. In fact there could be little doubt of his object, but the police kept a most vigi lant eye upon his movements. We hear that this youth left home in good spirits, and not altogether against his con sent, but on leaving repeated his wishes that something should be done for him in this country, as he would rather remain at home than go abroad. Jones has written on more than one occasion to Mr. Hall, of Bow-street, requesting that worthy Magistrate to prevail on the Government to do some thing for him ; but his applications to Mr. Hall were not an - severed. It is thought these applications were in consequence of the boy being desirous not to be a burden to his parents, who are poor, but industrious and honest persons. On the day Jones left the prison one of the agents or managers of a minor theatre (his father says) called and offered him 41. per week to appear on the stage for a fortnight, and, at the end of that time a" a period.benefit;'' bu j t on t e h s e co b mpi oyd a e in c s lin o e f d th e e xh m ib od it e in i g n whichh imself. he f r w s a was short treated of the Government.inTothill-fieldsprison, and attributes it entirely to the orders FALL OF A HOUSE IN DEANSGATE) MAN cuEsTEn.—On Monday afternoon, as a number of work men were engaged in taking down a n old building in Deansgate, Manchester, a loud crack in g noise wa s heard and the building almost immediately fell in with a tre mendous crash, and in an instant nothing remained of it but a heap of bricks, rubbish, and fragments of timber. Four of the labourers in the lower part of the house had time to make their escape, but eight others wem burl,4 hi the ruins. Strange to say, though four or five or them were on the roof when the house fell, which is three stories high, all were extricated from the ruins: without any loss of life, although severe injuriei lvere , re ceived. Happily, also, no one was passing at the time. The labourers who were employed say that the throw ing large quantities of bricks down the chimney's of: th e building, previously in a very insecure state, cau se d t h e chimneys to bulge out and give way, bringing de mi w i t h them the external walls, and, of Course, with the m a ll the floors, beams, rafters, &c. DETERMINED SUICIDE OF A FEMALE BY Paussic AClD.—Yesterday morning at an early hour a most determined act of self-destruction was committed by a young deceased f ema l e , nineteen years of age, of p ersona l attraction, named Julia Ellis, who for some time past had b een li v i ng i n the family of 111 r.

On the above morning (Tuesday) Le was awoke out of his seep by something falling heavily in hi.- chamber ; he immediately jumped out of bed, and in so doing he stumbled over something on the floor, which afterwards proved to he the lifele ss b o d y o f the deceased, and close to her right hand laid a bottle, containing a quantity of prussic acid, which she hadobtained by some means out of the surgery. Mr. Keerie immediately tried every means in his power to counteract the effects of the deadly poison, but to no effect, as life was quite extinct. INFANTINE DEPRAVlTY.—.Yesterday, three children, ranging from about 10 to 13 years of age, were placed before the police magistrate, at Liverpool, charged with having stolen a shawl from the shop of Mr. Williams, mercer, which they had entered under the pretence of purchasing a pennyworth of ribbon. The youngest prisoner, a girl, was seen by a person in the shop pulling the shawl from a window, underneath which she was holding a basket to receive the article when it should fall. The trio were seized, and while a police officer was being brought, they were taken into the house. One of them coolly proposed that they should committed to oC gaol. lisei several tither times for a co p dance "Jim Crow " until the arrival of the officer.
