EVENING EDITION anti he deceived them. He did not tell them of his c laim, and they believed his story to be true." Tn., Hon. Proprietor was proceeding, when he was again interrupted for a considerable time by several of the Proprietors suggesting the postponement of the mo tion, o,nd rising to order. Sir J. LIISHINGTON said that if Mr. Lewis went on, the r. , ,urt would be obliged to move the amendment which had been proposed last February , which was to the effect, that this Court continued to be of the opinion that it as inexpedient, and that they decline to inter- 1 1- Te" with the responsible Executive, in the affairs of the Rajzth. After a few words from Mr. SYKES, Mr. G. THOMPSON said that he had travelled four hun drol miles to attend this discussion. In his opinion, the additional papers were not necessary to the decision of the question. After a desultory conversation, Mr. Salomon's motion wa.s put and agreed to. Mr. LEWIS then moved that the Court should adjourn to the 14th July, for the purpose of taking the papers reia,tive to the Rajah of Sattara into consideration. The motion being put, was agreed to unanimously. TIL ourt then adjourned. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. ?ROM THI MORNING TAPIRS or THIS DAY. CHI: ONICLE.—The object of the Tory press in the extravagant fictions which they so industriously circulate about the prospects of Conservative gain at the coming elections is apparent enough. They hope to catch a few stray votes among those whose maxim it is to swim with the stream, and swell the strongest side. It is just as easy to claim a majority of 50 or 100, as to tell the truth especially as the lie may do some good, and can do no ,e-reia harm if detected. As a specimen of the sort of in formation which the Times is in the habit of getting up, we may refer to the list of candidates which it published a few days ago, by way of demonstrating, as an indis putable fact, that the Tories could not gain less than 20 0r,20, and would probably gain 80 or 100. What the number of candidates, without reference to the pro babilities of success or failure, has to do with the ques tion is not very easy to discover. However, if we are to take this test, at least we have a right to expect that the 1, , ,,, should be an accurate one. What the list of the Times is may be judged of by the following specimens:— NEW TORY CANDIDATES SAID TO BE COMING FOR WARD, ACCORDING TO THE STATEMENT OF THE "TIMES, ' BUT NOT ACCORDING TO FACT.

The calcu lated gains of the Tories, when closely examined, turn out tI:o be something of the same sort as their antici e,,t,el ictories in the City and Marylebone, which every hod , ' on the spot knows to be mere delusions. It is a mit .2r almost of moral certainty that at the ensuing ;on not one single Tory will be returned for any dis , , Ithe metropolis. At Manchester, Glasgow, Edin lutre!l.

Is it that these distin,guished retie' into privaterlife that they abandon seats which, elections afforded any :est of the fair, unbi , • unbought suffrages of the electors, ought to be ? By no manner of means. We find them all, or • •r• ri x. all, setting up for other places, where they will 1 -, a% e "to stand doubtful contests. How, then, is the phe nomenon to be accounted for ? People do not usually nbandon certain f or uncertain seats with out a re on. r ends eit ho reasonher on is simply th credit. o seat When the°Pulahrias been _ yment, and litained, as is commonly thecas e, p artl y b y p a partly by promises to pay, those p romises must be kept, o r ht the next election the representative whose return was celebrated as a signal instance of the triumph of Ctnservative principles must make way for some new who enjoys the reputation of being likely to bleed freely. Whether by such manceuvres as these the Tories are likely to get the seats which, to use a technical phrase, are in the market, once more upon credit, as they did at the last general election, remains to be seen. But even if they do, the Reformers have, as we have alre ad y mown, ample means in their hands of beating them over and over again, and returning a triumphant majority at the 'ensuing election, by the exercise of a moderate de of energy, and resolution. 'PI NTES.—It is highly important that now, when the con-rAtiencies of the United Kingdom are about to de aide betwen the claims to confidence of the present Mi nisters and of their opponents, the amount of misgovern ment and maladministration which has taken place un der o,:r Wing rulers should be plainly stated and clearly Understood. Lord Stanley's expression, that they have ..erlitisled the energies of the country at home and aiirouti," falls far short of the real truth. When they retire from the offices which they have so unworthily 1111,4, they will bequeath to their successors the most nte:earnpled complication of difficulties which brave and virtuous statesmen were ever called upon to surmount. There is nothing which their presumptuous incapacity ' lets .tice.'meddled with ; and " nihil tetigit quod non fceda rit .'t Even where they have begun wisely they have ended ill ; while in most cases they have done nothing but,evil from the - beginning. Were it not for the pres -' ruin which might follow from leaving menthe task of extricating the British nation in which they have involved ts . excused if he declined the for- LSI; , of grovernment in so serious and rpst . - prtsca k 1 0a4.1!a,nd worthlessness of the . 64 m; e:w i lic li yip:tieularly manifested in 4teo on t h e ,„„.„ - 7 vrYinr., to Mike of the Royal , • e n, v4ec t to the royal _of rarliament. Such gross gniy,andsomeani a q desire to serve themselves at the expense of the Sove reign's good understanding with the people, were never before displayed by a party pretending to the possession of the Royal confidence. If such confidence be pos sessed by the Whic , Radical party, it is most gros sl y abused. It is abused with an amount of treachery and ingratitude, of which, thank God, any thoroughly English party would be ashamed. But the Russell and O'Con nell party is not a thoroughly English party. It is a party which in Parliament has depen ded u p on the tactics of Irish Romanism, and which now dares to attempt out of Parliament, what may be done by that pecu liar description of loyalty for which Irish Romanism is sufficiently notorious. The Ministers having been al lowed to suggest a speech to the Throne, in which, with their accustomed modesty, their new policy is highly commended to the people, they next attempt to induce the people to give ear to the recommendation by . quoting their suggested sentiments as the personal views and opinions of her Majesty the Queen ! Well knowing th a t themselves and their policy are equally unpo lar, they do not hesitate to bring forward her Majesty as personally identified with them and their policy, and to endeavour to expose their too indulgent mistress to that unpopularity which they ought to shield her from, since they alone are the cause of it. We can not imagine any thing more mean, ungrateful, and dis loyal. Their leading journal actually ventures to re present her Majesty and her Majesty's people as if in a position of conflict, and to take the part, as it were, of her Majesty against the people. Was there ever beheld such disloyal and disrespectful effrontery ? We must quote, though we do it with pain, one short passage of the disloyal diatribe to which we refer:— " Shall it be said of the people of these kingdoms that their Queen thought too favourably of them ?—that she relied on a worthless and degraded people, who did not second her generous intentions ?" Thus, by implication, does the leading journal of the Ministerial party try to make it appear, that if the people happen to be of a different opinion upon the Ministerial policy from that which Ministers themselves put into the Queen's speech, their Sove reign will deem that she has thought too favourably of them, and that she had placed her reliance on a worth less and degraded people ! Did gross selfishness and base disloyalty ever go beyond this ? We think not ; and we call upon all honest English electors, by that de voted respect and loyalty which each of them bears to their Sovereign, to come forward for the punishment of these dastards who, for the furtherance of their own sel fish ends, so insultingly misrepresent her Majesty's feelings towards her faithful subjects. It is the duty of every man who wishes to free her Majesty from the en tanglements of a Ministry that to serve their own ends would make a breach between her Majesty and her peo ple—it is, we say, the solemn duty of every man who en tertains this wish, to come forward at once, and to give his best aid to the discomfiture of the present Adminis tration. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS, FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—Besides the articles of beef, fresh or coriisd, or slightly salted ; fish of foreign taking, or curing, in foreign vessels (except turbots!) ; lamb, mutton, pork, fresh or corned, or slightly salted ; sheep and swine, &c., all more or less required for ships use, the importation of which is entirely prohibited by the existing tariff, there is a variety of necessar y articles taxed at so high a rate as to amount nearly to a pro hibition, whereby the British shipowners are exposed to great additional cost in the sailing of their ves sels. We need not recapitulate food, such as wheizt : barley, rye, peas, and beans, in effect prohibited ex cept at famine prices ; but there are also the articles of coffee and cocoa, which come under the head of those too highly taxed, besides rice, potatoes, onions, beef and pork salted and smoked, bacon and hams, butter and cheese, spirits, tobacco, sugar, wine, &c., all of which might be admitted at a much lower duty with great advantage to the shipping interests, and to the enhancement of the receipts into the public treasury. The monopolists cannot object to such an alteration of the tariff, even upon the erro neous and often-refuted ground, that other countries will not reciprocate with us, because the abolition of the protective duties on these enumerated articles would be absolute gain to the shipping interests, whether they led to ether changes from foreign countries or not. They would confer immediate relief upon the shipowners, and tend much to place them upon a par with foreigners, whatever effect they mig ht have on foreign countries in other respects ; and there is no class interest in this country that can adduce tenable grounds of opposition to the adoption of a revised system of im port duties with respect to these highly taxed articles under the present tariff. These are the changes which our shipowners chiefly require to enable them to obtain fair play in competing with foreigners ; and being once granted, the g-eat superiority of dispatch which our vessels possess in point of sailing, and in the skill and activity of the crews, would enable the captains of British traders to obtain the command of freights in every open port. It appears by accounts from Germany that the whole of the available capital in the Danube and Maine Canal Shares is already absorbed in the work, and that there is little prospect of the payment of any dividend for some years. It is under stood, however, that the King of Bavaria will provide 300,0001. in order to complete the work, but whether as a shareholder, or as a loan on interest, does not distinctly appear ; although it is certain that no part of this money can be applied to the diridends. It is said that the Bavarian Government is ender no o Lligation to make up the dividend, and that the undertak ing cam:A be completed until 1844. TIMES..—The message of President Tyler, which was not received in the city till late in the afternoon, was read with a great degree of in: erect , the topics that it would treat on hav ing been long antieipZed, and the opinions of the new Govern ment on these topics bein:, anxiously expected, as the first in dication of the line of 1 , 4 ,1" - which it was intended to adopt. As far as regards the financial t lart of the Message, it is dis tinguished by that extreme caution 7 hich seems to have charac terised Mr. Tyler from the beginning„ and by that fear of compromising himself which has caused to be claimed as a partisan both by the Whig and the flo:lecratic Jour nals. One important opinion he incidental); declares, which is, that the slightest approach to an assumption of the State debts by the Federal Government is founded in er.."' and wanting constitutional sanction. This declaration will completely put an end to the hopes of those holders of Ame can stocks who have been misled by the opinion that there is some possibility of obtaining from Congress a guarantee of their claims. With respect to the distribution of the pro ceeds of the sales of the public lands, the new President seems evidently in favour of the measure, as far as concerns its legality, and a belief that it would afford effectual assistance to such States as are indebted, but he expressly makes the re servation, that such distribution shall not force upon Congress the necessity of imposing upon commerce heavier burdens than those contemplated in 1833, which is an obvious concession to the opponents of the measure, and leaves it doubtful whether the President intends to urge its adoption or not. All that he says respecting the "fiscal agent," a word now in com mon use in the States, is so obscure that it is impossible to form an opinion on the subject. On the system of finance which shall in future be adopted, he confessedly states no view what ever; but as far as can be collected from observations purposely indefinite, it seems doubtful whether any attempt will be made by the Government itself to repeal the Sub-Treasury law. The acts of former Governments are surveyed in the most care ful spirit, every expression that can give offence being most sedulously avoided, and indeed the time of exhibiting this con ciliatory spirit is the only feature that can really be perceived throughout, and, with the exception of one point, we are left as uncertain as ever as to the financial policy of the United States. The Government Stocks were not at all influenced by the business of the day, and maintain much about the same ap pearance as they did at the close of the market yesterday. SUN.—Stocks were not quite so buoyant to-day. Consols were less dealt in, but brought 891 to for the opening ; Exchequer Bills realised 6s. to Bs. prem.; and the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 98i to I. No material alteration occurred in the value of the Foreign Securities, which were heavier; however, Spanish Actives brought 22 to * ; Portuguese New, 33 ; Colom bian, 21 ; Mexican, 27 4 ; and Dutch Five per Cents. of the new loan, 97. i to 1. The Railway Shares were pretty steady. London and Birmingham ,69; Great Western at 254 prem. ; Brighton at 64 ; and Blackwall at 61 dis. By the arrivals from New York we have accounts from Fayal of the 11th ult., when nothing had been heard of the President. A French war steamer had touched there, and this must have been the vessel seen by Capt. Dann, of the Chieftain, when on his voyage to Quebec. The Stock Markets are not so buoyant to-day, and as regards general business, we have less doing, produce being in abundant supply, and meeting few buyers unless at a decline. THE SOUND DUES. It was recently stated by Mr. Labouchere, in the House of Commons, that a treaty had been concluded with Denmark, by which a considerable reduction would be made in the Sound dues, collected by that Govern ment. We have been favoured with a letter received by a mercantile house in this town from Elsineur, dated the 15th instant, and stating that from that day the follow ingimportant changes would be made in the duties on some of the principal articles of commerce : Cotton Twist, per 1001bs. 16 stivers (is. Bd.) instead of 36 stivers. Coffee, per 100Ibs. 6 stivers (714.). instead of 24 stivers. Raw . Sugar, p er 100Ibs., 5 stivers (W.), instead of 9 stivers. Lob wood and Fustie, per 1,000 lbs., 8 stivers (10d.), in stead of 36 stivers. Manufactures of Cotton of all descriptions, with the ex ception of ordinary white cottons and the descriptions hereinafter enumerated, are to one cotton per cent. ad va lorem. The excepted descriptions — viz., stock ings, per 50 pa i r , the duty is reduced from 30 stiversto6 (about lid. ster l i n g) ; and cotton socks, kser 100 pair, precisely the same amount s. Cotton thread, p Turkey-red co tt o n twist, and cotton embroidering yarn respectively from 30 to 15 stivers (Is. Sid.); and cotton knitting yarn, from 18 to 15 stivers. In addition to these changes, considerable reductions appear to have been made on about fifty other articles of smaller i m portance.—Manchester Guardian. It is now for the people to be true to their So vereign and themselves. Shall it be said that the Queen of Great Britain was anxious to " provide for the pub lic service " " in a manner least burdensome to the com munity "—that with this generous and patriotic resolve she appealed to the British people for support—and that both Sovereign and people were compelled to forego their object, and succumb to the tyrannical, corrupt, and plundering opposition of a monopolising faction ? This is the question for the constituent body to decide. Whatever the result, the merits of the case must remain unaltered. As in many former cases, the success of the Tories would only more cogently demonstrate the inefficiency and fraud of our present representative system, and the refusal to modify the pro hibitory duties, that is, the perseverance in the scheme of supporting the monopolists by s tarving the people, would only make those now stick ling for the finality of the Reform Act become the disciples of further organic change. It is thus that by opposing moderate reforms, the Tories provoke the introduction of those of a more extensive character: - Thus extremes meet ; and while the excessive demands of tne Chartists induce many to incline to the despotic discipline of Tory policy,,the re sistance of the Tories to just and necessary concessions, on the contrary, induces many, otherwise moderate Re formers, to become advocates for assertin . g the extreme principles of democratic government. --Advertiser.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUP. 1 SIR,—I beg to correct an error which has appeared in your paper of the 22d inst., relative to the launch of her Majesty's ship Trafalgar. It was Lady Bridport, the niece of the late Lord Nel son, who armed the ship, by breaking the bottle, and not Mrs. Hornby. It was Mr. Lang, the master shipwright of the dock yard, who built and launched the Trafalgar, that ex plained to her Majesty and Prince Albert the process by which the launch was effected, and not Sir Wm.

A very large Anti-Corn-law tea party was held at Leicester on Monday evening, in the Theatre Royal, the Mayor in the chair. More than 1,200 tickets were issued, and considerably more than that number sat down to tea, after which some excellent speeches were delivered. ----- POLITICAL DUTY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—To those who have been engaged in can vassing for the ensuing election, it is evident that throughout the country there is an opinion becoming more and more prevalent that Reli gionists should not interfere in political matters. Having in some cases found that these senti ments had their origin in a pamphlet published some years ago, entitled " Man unfit to govern Man," and knowing, from personal acquaint ance with the author of that work, that he, of all men, would denounce political apathy, and that his pamphlet did not urge a withdrawment from politics on any except on those whose religious principles .forbid it, I felt it my duty to have an interview with him, to see if he would not unite with me in counteracting by the public press any misuse of his tenets. He very promply referred me to the following passages of his book, as sufficient for my puipose, and de nounced most strongly any unjust and slothful advantage which the " lax and lukewarm with out religion might take of his principles, under which to shelter their supineness and cowardice." Adding, however, that, for himself, he was still firm in his principles, that he was still willing to meet his opponents through the public press; and that he thought it would be well for " the Nonconformist" and other able por tions of the press, to answer the pamphlet he had already published, and to meet their argu ments before they ridicule their conclusions. The extracts are as follow : If, however, there be any who should read this ad dress, and still entertain contrary views of religion, I should be sorry if anything I may say should, in the least degree, lead them to greater slothfulness in the per formance of things they believe to be right. Dost thou still remain a politician ? use all thine energies in pro moting the great measures thou thinkest to be right. " Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might." Let not politics be thy plaything ; let it be thy daily work ; pursue it not for thy own aggrandizement, but for thy neighbour's and thy country's good. Let not the object of this address, nor the feelings with which it is dictated, be misunderstood. lam not one who take no interest and feel no inclination to take part in the exciting struggles of the day. lam not unmoved at the sight of injustice, nor insensible to the pleasures of a successful combat. If I were led by my inclinations alone, I should oft, like the Hebrew patriot, be tempted to smite him who doeth the wrong ; but my principles forbid, and with a question that defies all interference, ask, "Who made thee a ruler or judge amongst us 2" I write not to favour the man who, while he believes political interference to be consistent with his duties, is too indifferent to the wrongs which others feel, to assist them in their removal—the man who will not engage in what he believes to be right, because of the trouble and inconvenience to which it may expose him. No ! I would say, if religion forbad it not, every man ought to become a politician. . • • • • • • Let me again not be misunderstood ; I do not say men of the world should not legislate one for another ; some laws are necessary, End those who do not know, or will not have, the laws of God, must make laws for themselves lf politics arc to be pursued, it is necessary that some should devote their time and their minds to it, and who is to decide whether this shall be you or I ? Who is to tell one man that on him and his family are to fall all those bitter conse quences before stated, while another is to go fre.o ? Such false reasoning and such partial practice is the founda tion of all political evils and corruptions. It is this oc casional dabbling in politic's, and not giving the mind to it, this occasional performing " some of the duties" with out having even learnt its theory, this leaving other peo ple to learn, to think, to act for you, while you only lend your sanction, that has given to knavery all its opportu nities, and to oppression all its power. It is to you half politicians that we are indebted for the choice of law-makers whom you never knew, and for the support of measures you never gave yourselves the trouble to understand. It is to you who put your names to petitions you never read, and on subjects you never studied ; you who are ever ready to huzza your private friends, though they may be your country's foes ; you, who have a ready vote for the first applicant or the highest bidder, who care not whether you send in a Waithman to-day or a Lyall to-mrrow ; it is to you we are indebted (if indebted at all) for the waste of our pro perty and the slavery of our persons. Think not, then, that you do your duties or effect your country's good by devoting a few hours of bribery or indolence to political matters. No ; politics, if pursued, must be pursued with vigilance and faithfulness, and if there is any one prin ciple of Jesus that applies to politics, it is this,—" What soever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might." These then, Sir, are his sentiments, and I feel confident he would denounce, with a bitter scorn, the shuffling cowards who can join with the world for every base purpose of pleasure or profit, and plead religious separation only when the mental activity and disinterested energies of a political struggle require them to unite. Yours, June 21, 1841. AXtsEicc. MARYLEB ONE ELECTION. The result of the canvass, as made up last night, gives the Liberal candidates a large majority of the voters upon the registry, and the list has not yet been canvassed more than two-thirds. A most numerous meeting of the electors," resident in the district of St. Mary's, was held at the Bazaar Tavern, King-street, Portman-square, for the purpose of receiving from Sir Benjamin Hall an account of his past conduct as representative of this borough, and of considering the best means by which they could secure a continuance of his services, in conjunction with Sir C. Napier. The two candidates were, as usual, greeted with the most enthusiastic cheering. Mr. FRAMPTON, who had been a member of Mr. Young's Committee, and one of the most active of his supporters, was unanimously called to the chair. Sir B. HALL then addressed the meeting. He said that he had been desirous that his Gallant Friend, should address the meeting first, in order that it should be made more manifest that their co-operation was sincere and zealous.—(Cheers.) In referring to his own past con duct, he was obliged to say that in his attention to the interests of the whole people of the United Kingdom, he had not neglected the local interests of the borough, which he had the honour to represent. When he was a candidate for Monmouth, he refused to pledge himself for the Reform Bill, under the terms of the " Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," for he was one of those who thought that a further extension of the fran chise should be given, that the vote should be protected by the Ballot, and that the duration of Parliaments should be shortened.—(Cheers.) He was still most anxious that amendments should be made in the Reform Bill, and that those clauses which crippled the franchise, such as the rate-payiug clause, should be repealed. — (Cheers.) He had been mainly instrumental in effecting the rejection of a Bill introduced into Parliament for the purpose of destroying the local rights of the inhabitants of this borough; for this he had been honoured with the hostility of the Tories, and had been bitterly assailed in the public newspapers. He never replied to newspaper attacks, but he relied upon his late consti tuency to give a practical answer at the hustings.— (Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman then referred to his votes in Parliament upon all questions, in which the in terests of his constituents, or of the nation at large, were involved, and happily contrasted his own conduct in respect to the Poor-law Bill, with that of Lord Teign mouth, who had pledged himself publicly to vote for the total repeal of that Bill and who nevertheless voted for the continuance of the most obnoxious clauses. The Hon. Baronet then repeated the observations which we yesterday reported on the speech of her Majesty to Par liament at the prorogation, in the course of which he was londly and vehemently cheered. He concluded by urging the electors present to come early to the poll on this day week. Ttn - , room, which holds conveniently not more than 200 or 300 persons, had become by this time most in conveniently crowded, and a very large assemblage in front of the tavern called violently for an adjournment to the open air. The CHAIRMAN said it was quite evident that the Gallant Commodore, who was about to address the meeting, could not be satisfactorily heard in the present crowded state of the room, and as he understood that there was collected in the street before the house a very large body of electors, for whom no space could be ' found within doors, he (Mr. Frampton) would suggest that the electors in the room should adjourn to the space in front, and that Sir C. Napier should address the meet ing from the window. The proposition was adopted by acclamation, and ac cordingly- Sir C. NAPIER, presented himself at the window, when he was received with cheers and hurrahs by the vast crowd below, accompanied by applause and waiving . of handkerchiefs from the ladie s who thron g ed the -bal conies and windows on each side, anxious to see and to honour the Nelson or the Day. The Gallant Commo dore then repeated ; amidst the usual demonstrations of admiration and assent, his former declarations of politi cal principle, and avowed his concurrence with the senti ments just expressed by his Hon. Friend, of whom he had no doubt he would very soon be the colleague in the representation of this borough.—(Cheers.) He begged to call the attention of the meeting to a notice which Mr. Young had in the handsomest manner publicly ad dressed to the electors of the borough.—(Cheers.) It was as follows : " TO THE ELECTORS OF MARYLERONE. "Gentlemen,—The ballot between Sir C. Napier and myself having terminated in favour of that gentleman, I have, according to the agreement entered into by our Committees, ceased to be a candidate for your suffrages. I cannot, however, withdraw without expressing my sm cero gratitude to the 945 Reformers who balloted for me, not in a struggle with a political opponent, but in a friendly contest with a Reformer, supported by the whole strength of the Liberal press, and still more strongly recommended by his achievements in a service of which he is so distinguished a member. I hope my friends will now cheerfully submit to the decision of their brother Reformers, and remembering only that there is a common enemy to defeat, give to Sir C. Napier and Sir Benjamin Hall all the support in their power. " I remain, gentlemen, " Your obliged and faithful servant, " G. A. YOUNG. ;'land -place, June 21 ." " L nk ' •• he had to add, that a meeting of Mr. (Cheers.)

Hal.— sent to support him (Sir C. Napier) - meeting, be (Great cheering.) He would not detain had two cause his Hon. Friend, (Sir B. Hall) and fiz, other meetings to attend in the borough that evening, In answer to a question from an elector, Sir C. NAPIER said that if he had been in Parliament when the motion was brought forward for the release of the political prisoners, he would no doubt have voted on the Liberal side, because he was opposed to all persecu tion on account of political opinions.—(Cheers.) Sir B. HALL said it was enough for him to refer to the newspapers of the day, in which his vote would be found recorded in the minority.—(Vehement cheering.) Mr. POTTER then moved, and Mr. G 03131 seconded a resolution pledging the meet ing to support the Liberal candidates, which was carried by acclamation. The meeting then separated with three times three en thusiastic cheers for the Qneen and the Liberal candi dates. Similar meetings were held in Camden-town and Lis son-grove, and with similar satisfaction to the electors and the candidates. The following letter from an influential elector has been widely circulated : MARYLEBONE ELECTION. To the Liberal Electors of the Borough of Marylebone. Fellow Electors,—Allow me, through the medium of the public press, to congratulate you on that union of purpose and determination which happily prevails amongst all real Reformers, in this very important meteo politan borough. It was feared, at one time, that your strength would be enfeebled by the introduction of two Reform candi dates, in addition to Sir Benjamin Hall, but, through the honourable arrangements between Mr. Young and Sir Charles Napier, and assented to by the general body of Liberals, that apprehension no longer exists. Mr. Young, in the fulfilment of his promise, declared in the most unequivocal manner, at the close of the Ballot at the Colosseum, last Wednesday, the 6th inst., that he would not only retire from the contest, but would give his whole support to Sir Charles Napier, and use his best endeavours with his friends to enlist them in the same cause. I need only mention, that with a view to effect this object he has published a circular, and also a letter in The Sun newspaper. Brother Reformers—lt now remains with you to prove that union is strength, banishing from your minds all minor differences and private feelings, and with one grand consentaneous and determined effort, rescue the . Borough of Marylebone from Tory domination. A LIBERAL ELECTOR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - - - Sin, —Seeing that a hand-bill distributed in. Padding ton, signed by a non-elector, William Cross, has been copied into your columns, attributing to Mr. Cabbell the following expressions at a late meeting of his friends in that parish, "If you fear God and value your im mortal souls you will send me and Sir James Hamilton to Parliament. The Whigs and Radicals are a contempt able crew, they are impertinent fellows, I hate them as I hate the lowest depths of hell,"— as:Chairman of that meet ing, I beg to inform you that no such expressions were made use of by Mr. Cabbell at the meeting alluded to ; and that had the language attributed to him been used by him or any one else, friend or foe, I would have stopped it, or vacated the chair. I rely upon your sense of justice to insert the above. Your obedient servant, J. D. CHAMBERS. 7, Connaught-square, June 23, 1841. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE OF A SEAMAN. —On Tuesday evening an inquest was held at the Le beck's Head public-house, Shadwell-market, on David Cargill, aged thirty-three, a seaman on board the brig Albion, of Montrose, who committed suicide by throw ing himself into the river. On the evening of Tuesday, the 15th instant, the deceased, who had come on board very drunk the night before, and who had spent all his wages which he had received on the previous Saturday, all at once exhibited symptoms of wildness in his manner, and accidentally fell against the chain cable, by which he cut his eye in a very serious manner. After some time he ap peared in a complete state of madness, and ran about the deck, thr ea t en i ng t o t h row hi mse lf overbOard. He m a d e use of th e most bl asp h emous ex p re ssions.

Sin,—May I beg the favour of your contradicting the charge made against my brother , the Rev. Thomas M‘lfonnell, of Birmingham, in the Times and Standard of yesterday, " that he has been lately discovered to be an abettor of Chartism." Considering the manner in which Chartism developed itself at Birmingham, such a charge against a Catholic clergyman is too serious to be passed over. It is, how ever, notoriously false,—the truth being, that he has subjected himself to much unpopularity, and, as I have witnessed, to not a little danger, by his steady and un compromising opposition to the cause of Chartism at Birmingham. An opportunity will certainly be afforded +he inventor or publisher of this calumny to explain ^-nd himself, as he can, in a Court of Justice. ^;r, your most obedient servant, T ncoln's -inn, F. M'DONNELL. and del, I remain, 25, Old-square, June 23, 1841. ELECTION MOVEMENTS. (FROM A C ORRESPONDENT.) BATII, MAY 23, 1841.—At this period the good cause of Reform presents a very different aspect to what it did at the last election, when nothing but discord and ill.feeling prevailed throughout the whole body of electors, professing Liberal prin ciples. Now minor differences of opinion are lost sight of, and one and all feel that they are not working for a party, but really for their country's good. The electors feel that they have now something worth contending for, and, notwithstanding the taunts of the Tories that Ministers never intend carrying their proposed measures, they are determined to do their best to send men to Parliament who will not be slow in applying the spur even should they wish to make a retrograde movement after getting a majority in the House of Commons in their favour. Both pities have been active in canvassing, and the late Members have had some awkward questions to answer respecting their votes. Although "blue beef" and the swilling§ of the " tap tub" have been dispensed with true Tory liberality, it has produced anything but the effect desired—it has disgusted the truly virtuous, and alienated not a few who would other wise have given the Conservatives their support. In fact there is anything but cordiality in the Tory camp—the Com mittee see no chance of carrying two Members, and they are puzzled to know whether the lordling or the lawyer can be best spared. There are other causes at work to excite the worst fears of the Tories ; but as it is not policy to make an enemy acquainted with his "weak points," we forbear mentioning them. The two Liberals here are safe ; th.sy are everywhere met with the most enthusiastic cheers, whilst Lord Powerscout t has been compelled to hire a body of chimney-sweeps and railway labourers to get up a cry for " True Blue" and " Lord Powerscourt" for ever. Wisinsou.—Tory violence is carried in this town to a pretty pitch. In compliance with a request from a number of the most influential of the Liberal electors, Mr Sidney Smith endeavoured to discuss the important subject of the Corn laws in the Public Rooms. The Tories, however, headed by Sir John Beauvoir and a party, intruded, and determined to speak. This threw the whole meeting into confusion, and there was no lack of sticks and fists. Mr. Smith was, in consequence, obliged to desist. Such is but one sample of the disgraceful conduct of the Tories. BURY ST. EDMUNDS.—On Monday evening a very nu merous body of the electors in the Liberal interest met Lord Charles Fitzroy and Mr. Alston, at the Globe Hotel, in this town. Lord Fitzroy was throughout his speech enthusiasti- cally cheered, and his exposure of Tory and Twiss trickery are perfect. WEsT KENT.—A meeting was held at the Bull Inn, Maid stone, on Thursday last, of the principal supporters of the Li beral interest in West Kent, for the purpose of considering the best means of re-electing their tried friend and repre sentative, Thomas Law Hodges, Esq., who on the o,ca sion expressed his sentiments touchir n os upon, and favourable to, the Ministerial measures, and was most enthusiastically re ceived. Sti amsatt a - v.—The Llbsral candidates addressed at eight o'clock on Tuesday one of the largest meetings ever witnessed on any occasion in this county, assembled it, front of the News office. Sir Love Parry on rising, descanted at much length, and with great effect, on the pernicious tendency of enacting laws for the support of class interests d the community at large. Ile pointed out the many deplorable fallacies of the pro-Corn law men, and after calling on the electors of Shrewsbury to hsartily help himself and his honourable friend, Sir Love retired amidst a storm of acclamations. Mr. Temple made brief but emphatic mention of the various points on whi c h h e offered himself as their representative, when three peals of applause having been given for the Queen, the assemblage quietly dispersed. COYENTRY.—Mr. Ellice, on Monday evening, desirous of addressing the people before the heat of the election com menced, requested them to meet him on Monday evening at the Craven arms. This was the signal for a determined attempt on the part of the Tories to prevent his being heard, for, said they among themselves, " If Ellice once succeeds in getting a hearing, so certain is he of making a good defence for himself, and a powerful impression upon those who listen to him, that no Conservative candidate will venture to trust himself to tho shadow of hope which would remain to the Tory party. To put. Ellice down, therefore, and defeat his attempts to speak, must be our object." And they did put him down. They pre pared such a party of " bellowers" and miscreants, as with the most senseless and brutal clamour effectually stifled him. Mr. Ellice bore the brunt of his maligners with the utmost calm ness, but. finding it impossible to be heard, bade his friends at last, good-humouredly, good night, and wrote, in an adjoining room, a short address, setting forth:what he would have said, which was printed and circulated the same evening. B A RNSTAPLE.—Rumour, with her many tongues, affirms that General Starbury, of electioneering notoriety is about to introduce a fifth gentlemen. The Tories, also, have been as serting that the second Liberal candidate, the Hon. J. W. For teseue, had retired. Their wish was " father to the thought." CARDIFF.—Here, it is feared, Dr. Nichol (T) will be unopposed. CARDIGANSHIRE.—No opposition is yet announced to Col. Powell (T). CARMARTHEN BOROUOHS.—Mr. D. Morris, the present Reform Member, is the only candidate in the field. YORKSHIRE, WEST RIDING..—The two Liberal candidates, Lords Morpeth and Milton, are visiting, on a tour, Rother ham, Sheffield, and Barnsley. Mr. Denison is quite shelved. WORCESTER.—We are happy to announce the arrival of Sir Thomas Wylde, her Majesty's Solicitor-General, and a candidate for the representation of Worcester. The Learned Sergeant entered the ancient and faithful city, accompanied by two of his sons, and his brother, about seven o'clock on Mon day morning, and immediately proceeded to his head-quarters, at the Star and Garter Hotel. The period of his arrival neces sarily prevented his receiving any of those testimonies of favourable recognition which would otherwise most undoubtedly have marked his reception. Shortly after his arrival many mem bers of the Corporation and other influential gentlemen waited upon Sir Thomas to pay him their respects, and welcome him on his debut in Worcester. He received their friendly congratu lations in a very cordial manner, and by his frank manners and pleasing deportment, made rapid progress in the fav-)ur of his new friends. Sir Thomas was soon surrounded by a number of highly respectable gentlemen, whose expression of their warm prepossessions in his favour must have been very gratifying to him. A strong muster of zealous friends to the cause of Reform and freedom of trade, gathered about him within doors, and it having been announced that he would speak to the people from the balcony of the Star and Garter, at nine o'clock, an assembly without soon began to congregate. Such was the eagerness of anticipation, that some time before that hour persons were thronging to the rendezvous, and when St. Ni cholas' clock told nine there could not have been less than two thousand persons assembled in front of the Hotel, which, by the time the Learned Sergeant made his appearance in the b2l cony, must have been nearly doubled. His reception by this multitude was of a nature greatly to dismay the Tories, who, to use a vulgar phrase, were very much "down in the mouth," and needed no such aggravation of their despondency. It was heart-stirring and enthusiastic, and during the course of his brief address, Sir Thomas was repeatedly interrupted by peals of applause.— Worcester Chronicle. SCOTLAND. Avn Buttnits.—lt is indeed a "forlorn hope" to suppose that Mr. Stirling, jun. of Keir, should oust Lord Jas. Stuart. EDINBURGH.—LocaI connections give an advantage to Mr. Gibson Craig over all other competitors. ELGIN Buttons.—Sir Andrew Hay's canvass is capital poor Haddo should certainly refrain from giving him battle at the polling booths. GRIERNOCK.—FarcicaI opposition to Mr. Wallace is threat ened, by Sir Thomas Cochrane, past Member for Ipswich, for which from his own statement he paid rather sweetly. KILMARNOCK BURGHS.—The Reform cause wears a most promising aspect. Coltiuhoun is sure to be defeated. &rum tutsitints.—Sir Michael Bruce's canvass is highly favourable. PORTUGUESE BONDS. At a meeting of the Committee of Bondholders held yester day at their chambers, the subjoined resolution was agreed to. It is certainly high time that foreign nations should be com pelled to pay at least the interest of the capital sent from this country to establish their independence and secure free ins i tutions. Many of these bondholders have suffered great dis tress from the nefarious conduct of Governments that could pay if they only chose to be honest : Resolved,—That the Committee of the Portuguese Bond holders, as a new Parliament is about to be elected, do invite the Committees of all Foreign Bondholders to join them in calling a public meeting at the Mansion-House for the purpose of passing resolutions to memorialize the new Parliament, when assembled, to address her Majesty, praying that she would take immediate measures for compelling all Foreign States which have not fulfilled their engagements, to pay up all arrears of interest due on their several obligations , and give satisfactory tangible security for the principa ; and, further, that an address be sent to the several candidates for seats in the ensuing Parliament, calling upon them, if returned, to support in the most decided manner the petition for justice to the thousands of sufferers deprived of a capital amounting to upwards of one hundred millions sterling. Resolved,—That a Sub-Committee be appointed to draw up the necessary resolutions, and to carry out fully the objects of the foregoing resolutions. Committee-room, Old Swan, June 23, 1841. HANOVER. The following is the address ♦oted to the King by the States General of Hanover, carried by a majority of 44 to 33 " Most Illustrious, most Powerful, and most Magnanimous King and Lord. " It is with the most lively and deep sentiment of gra titude that the States of the Kingdom take the liberty to approachithe throne of your Majesty. These sentiments, Sire, have been inspired in their bosoms by the satisfaction with which your Majesty has hailed their brilliant opening, and by the confidence with which it has been surrounded under cir cumstances as serious as difficult. At all times, Sire, your ap peal will be heard by the people, for at all times that people has taken for the basis of its attachment order, love for their King and country. " Your faithful States, Sire, have not been inattentive to the political events upon which for a moment the tranquillity of Europe appeared to depend. The people of Germany . are strong only by their union, and the first object of this union is the external and internal stability of their common country. It was for the liberty and independence of this country that your subjects, Sire, fought during the years 1813, 1814, and 1815—it was for its welfare that they then shed their blood, and are still ready to do so whenever your Majesty shall call upon them. Yes, Sire, the Hanoverians are desirous only of prov ing to the Germanic Confederation, that they have :both the power and the will of supporting their share in the common charges, and that they will, in case of war, know how to apply the resources created by a long and honourable peace. May this peace, however, remain undisturbed, for the success of a I struggle, from whatever quarter it comes, could never be cer tain, unless we were united, and, great and small, weak and powerful, felt completely assured on the strength and inviola bility of our respective rights. This conviction, Sire, we are with the deepest grief compelled to avow has been rudely torn from your people. " Your States, Sire, would be wanting in their duty if they hesitated to declare to your Majesty their opinions on this point, and to state all the truth. There is but a very small minority amongst those subjects, sincerely devoted to the Throne, who believe in the legality and urgency of all the measures taken since the Ist November, 1637, to annul the Constitution of 1833 ; there is but a very small number who admit that the elections of 1838, 39, and 40, are based on that state of things as to give them any foundation in right and stability ; and in fine there are but very few who think that the new organic law promulgated in 1840 responds to the principles put forth on the 16th September, 1839, by the Diet. and to the wishes of the people. The immense majority of your people, Sire, is, on the contrary, firmly convinced that it is only a Constitution founded on justice and approved of by all the powers of the State that can give to your kingdom that tranquillity which is the object of all our wishes and which concerns the happiness of all Germany. It is thus only that Hanover will feel all her strength re-established on a firm basis. " Your Majesty wishes for what is good—for what is just. These noble sentiments, to which your faithful States have always been the'first to render justice, served them as a buckler in the midst of the storms which have thrown a gloom over the last few years. If the ancient franchises, attached from time immemorial to the existence of certain corporations, still wait for their confirmation, if the burdens which weigh on the tax-payers demand some changes, and call for some reduc tion; which the brilliant state of our finances can readily adroit of --i f the liberty of the press is not so fully assured as it ought to be, it is only, Sire—and the States are happy in having it in their power to say it—because the mistaken fidelity of some of your servants has prevented them from submitting to sour lf:iesty's notice this gloomy picture, in all its nakedness. But if the counsellors of the Crown betray their King, and de ceive their country, the States, who enjoy the confidence of the puss, 40f~ wlh loyally to serve the other, owe to both advice of union, peace, ao 404 ; Deign, sirs , ' to 41)Prggiatil our wipe*. I May the Almighty protect yetis Majesty and ow eountry. ' TURKEY. SITTTGARDT, JUNE 17.—T0-day's Vienna post brings a piece of intelligence which throws so much light upon the fruits of the Russo-Palmerston alliance that, although I only wrote yesterday, I again take up my pen. You are aware of the hostile position occupied by Turks and Rayahs in the no: th ern Turkish provinces. The movement, which on both sides seems independent of all direction, and still more so of all con. trol on the part of the Government, extends from the Danube and the Save, over Roumelia, to Macedonia, in which latter province, as in Bulgaria, the greatest determination to try the fortune of arms is manifested. The interest taken in the fate of the Rayahs by their freed brethren, both across the Danube and in Greece, has hitherto been mani fested only by indirect assistance, but a step is announced as about to be taken which will be an overt act towards the overthrow of the Porte. Wallachia, which has spent great sums and made great exertions to estabiish a quarantine, is about, it is said, to give up the line drawn against the other provinces of the empire, by which means the communication between the Greeks of all provinces will be unhindered, and great facilities afforded them to prepare and carry out their plans. In the first instance, the Hospodars arc said to be stimulated to this step by the favourable opportunity which presents itself for the aggrandizement of their houses, and perhaps the enlargement of their territories ; but as the Turks will evidently not quit the field without a struggle, for which they are prepared, the consequence must shortly be a collision. There is, then, but one mode of stopping the effusion of blood, fur which a tender regard will immediately spring up in the bosoms of neighbour ing Powers, and the examples of British officers commanding dispersed corps in Syria will form a precedent for Russia, which considers the northern provinces as its natural field for action. Once in possession of these fine lands, the example of Algiers can be adduced for retaining them, with this differ ence, that the Hospodars, instead of being plundered, like the unfortunate Dey, will doubtless receive good salaries, and pro bably remain Governors for life. From the Danube to the Ambracian Gulf, Turks and Rayahs are arrayed in arms against each other. Such a state of things cannot long exist without bloodshed, and the contest must hasten the catastrophe towards which the Ottoman empire is tottering. The settlement with Mehemet Ali is represented as being anything but in a way to its conclusion, and, under the cir cumstances, who can wonder at the old fox desiring to gain time? The outbreak of rebellion in European Turkey would be a signal for him to declare himself independent. On the whole it is most singular that, while so much depends upon the impulse coming from that quarter, Great Britain should be the only Power not efficiently represented upon the Danube. In Belgrade there is no Consul, and the youth of the Consul at Bucharest is an untimely qualification at such a moment. FRANCE AND THE REVOLT 1N THE TURKISH PROVINCES. The crisis of the Turkish empire seems near at hand, and as may naturally be conceived, the state of the East, and par ticularly of the Christian population, is exciting the attenti9n of the Paris papers, and some of them are struggling hard to re commend a kind of protectorship of which France is to be the head. La Presse hazards the following paragraph Lord Palmerston, when questioned in Parliament on the subject of Candia, replied by a vague promise to compel the Porte to respect the rights of humanity towards a population which has been reduced by a brutal yoke from 600,000 to 150,000. We knew how this promise has been kept ; we see the ships of England openly giving assistance to the expedi tion of Tahir-Pacha. What should be the attitude of France ? Will our Government have performed its duty in observing severe and scrupulous neutrality? We think not. The Chris tians of the East, whether Greek or Roman Catholic, reckoia EVENING EDITION. upon the protection of France, and they must not be disc pointed in their hopes. We Pan now assume the position, , regards the dispute between the Sultan and the Gre eks of Cs 4 dis, which we ought to have assumed in that between him a n . M helmet Ali. The hatti scheriff of Gulhane, which ernane.s" pated the Christians, is a dead letter in Turkey, like all its . other reforms, because the Porte has only as instrumentsbBol execution ignorant and ill-disposed Turks. Nothing t done for the Christians of the east so long as they shall p et have have the guarantee of France for the engagements of Porte." And the National srintains something in the same strain :•":: " By intervening in good season between the Porte, or rather its allies, and the Christians who are arming for ithl; dependence, it would be possible to gain some refection influence which we did not care to assert by the protecti... of Egypt. But our Government will not do this. It pill off' the English to establish themselves at Canes , % thus lete the possession of the Archipelago. -t allow com the p Russians to accomplish the conquest o f BOlgaT tO and when compelled by the force ot public opinioo a part in the struggle, it will be for the purpose of suPPeq: ing some Russian or English spoliation, and assist in tooth' ing some small States, based upon the principles of . ne . republic of M. Capo d'lstrias, or the kingdom of Otho We do not calumniate the French Government in prejudef r:iits intentions and its conduct. The past enables us to Pr nounce as to the future. Besides, in order to judge of the p . ;which we are going to play in this new phase of the esote question, it is sufficient to see how each of the Great pol e c is preparing to act. Whilst the Russians are at the gat1,01... Constantinople, and the English are everywhere from the the phials to Alexandria, whilst one and the other are stifling up. Old Turkish empire under the weight of their trow, e fr dating it with their ships, and making it the object of thirot plomatic treaties, what have we done in the east ? 11 only cast one thing into the scale—M. de B o urquet! e i s paraphe." 00 1 The Galignani, a paper that seldom indulges in P eb affairs, has some judicious observations in reply to the se and the National—of which we willingly give an extracts-- e th " It is clear from the above extract, as well as from article of the Presse which we noticed yesterday, that rNt efforts are making by different parties here to revive t h t claim which is said to have been made by M. Th ierk, the island of Candia should be placed under the dithe guardianship of France, and, if we may judge bl o ived language now used by the opponents of the policy this by the Cabinet of Marshal Soult, such a concession as . on the part of the Four Great Powers would give rot over" larity to the French Ministry. But our Contempora r y " 1 - of looks the important fact, that the object a the T T, 'sof July was to prevent the assumption of protectorship and point of the Eastern question by any Power in paitie_ ~ rbir' ° that, consequently, the course now asked for, an d be mended as a sine qua non to the French Government, eeej,„ forcibly taken if refused as a concession, is rendere d ele be ingly difficult by the nature of things. It cannot, besid,es'„'gh for a moment supposed that four Christian Powers. Idte°•io they do not make common cause with the Christiloss Candia against their rulers, can look tamely on an e be them to be persecuted by the Turks. 'fhere tn„, e° "tisb equal sympathy for the Christian population of the iaroa dominions, in England, Russia, Austria, and Prussia; certainly in England, which is essentially a religious e i sof try, with all its sects having the same feelings in fano. the spread of Christianity under whatever external ~ tios there can be no support for a policy hostile to the Chr, l d ed and friendly to the Turks. V Lord Palmerston were to lay aside all consideration for the Christians in their dieser with their Turkish rulers, he would meet with but littl e or port from the people of England, nor would he h ave Lbeolol' earrence of the Christian States with which England ', s ow Is there, however, anything to show that the British t mcnt is indifferent to the struggle between the crescen greis the cross ? Was not the hattisscheriff of Gulhane ip bared part the work of the British Cabinet ; and is it not delevit re by the Four Powers that the Turkish Government 13 % nist aided in its efforts to enforce its own decree ? True, rt to the Porte is unable without aid to put its Christian sub,,,lfs possession of the benefits which haspromised; curious fact, that one of the great obstacles to the desireu-filitu the open or disguised encouragement given by M e hemet but all Turks who refuse to execute the mandate of their TU.— ,„0 14 if the Four Powers do not intervene in favour of the ' - ttt io% which has been hastened by the ignorance of the Pf l v se t c o the spirit of Turkish agents, encouraged in their opposition op. tolerance of the Government by that of a chief who °l r a ' a, it self up as the orthodox defender of the Mahomet to the that any reason for inferring that they will not guarantee 0 Christians of Candia, Bulgaria, &c., who have risent i t r t bs enjoyment of all the rights and privileges promise" to tbt hatti-scheriff as the condition of their sublniusie n ; - „, - deed , Porte?
