TO THE ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER. GENTLEMEN, T THANK you sincerely for the honour you 1 have done me in re-electing me as one of your Repre sentatives, but I cannot refrain from expressing my regret at the defeat of my late colleague, and at the triumph of the Tories. To three causes the defeat of the Liberal party may be chiefly attributed ; to over-security and a consequent neglect of the means necessary to ensure success; to indifference, in a large class of Electors, arising from disappointment at not obtaining the benefits expected from the Reform Act; and last, but not least, to intimidation of tradesmen by their cus tomers. I mention these things as a warning for the future, feeling certain that the Liberal party in Westminster will, at the next general election, replace their city in the position which it so long occupied among the Liberal constituencies of the country. With respect to my conduct as your Representative during the last four years, I venture to say that it has always been honest and independent, and, to the best of my judgment, for the good of the community. The only object I have in public life is to defend the interest of the people against class in terests and monopolies, of whatever kind they may be. The only reward I seek is the good opinion of my fellow-citizens. I trust that when I next meet you, to give an account of my stexardship, I shall have so acted as to deserve and to obtain the continuance of your confidence. Your faithful friend and representative, J. TEMPLE LEADER. 1, Lowndes-square, Juiy 5, 1841. THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT RO- THERHAM. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) ROTHERHAM, JULY 6.—Yesterday afternoon about two o'clock a circumstance of a most awful nature occurred at this place, which has thrown the town and neighbour hood into the greatest excitement. Fr om what I have been able to learn respecting the 'accident, it would appear that in launching a boat called a " Billy-boy," there were a vast assemblage of spectators to witness it, a great many of whom were upon the time of her moving from the stocks, prin cipally boys, from eight to fourteen years of age, and that, owing to some cause or other, she would not glide as was wished, when the persons on the vessel were requested to stand all on one side ; this caused her to get overbalanced, and combined with the circumstance of gliding off a-slant, caused her to completely upset, when there were at least a hundred persons immersed in the water, and about fifty (as far as I have been able to ascertain) were unfortunately drowned. Too much praise cannot be given to the workmen employed in the yard in rendering every assistance in their power to wards rescuing the poor fellows ; and one gallant fellow, named Freeman (who was in the vessel at the time) succeeded in bringing out seventeen, the greatest part of whom were alive. When he arose to the surface he had no less than six youths clinging to him, whom he succeeded in bringing ashore. An inquest will be held on the bodies of the unfortunate suf ferers this afternoon by T. Badger, Esq., the Coroner, and a highly respectable Jury. • THE PLATE PRESENTED TO BYNG. MR. All Mr. Byng's guests at breakfast yesterday, before proceeding to the hustings, were highly gratified by in specting the handsome piece of plate which was given to that consistent Reformer last year. It is now quite complete, and bears the following tasteful and just tribute to Mr. Byng's merits, written by the late lamented Lord Holland. IN ACKNOWLEDG3IENT OF UNWEARIED SERVICES IN PARLIAMENT, AND IN HONOUR OF THAT TEMPERATE BUT PURE AND UNABATED LOVE OF LIBERTY, WHICH WON AND RETAINED FOR HALF A CENTURY THE CONFIDENCE OF THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX, THIS PROOF OF THE STABILITY OF POPULAR FAVOUR WAS PRESENTED "BY HIS CONSTITUENTS TO GEORGE BYNG, ESQ., ON THE 28TH JUNE, A.D., 1840. Such a memorial of a consistent life and enduring at tachment is equally honourable to Mr. Byng and the freeholders of Middlesex. The Tory gentlemen might be unacquainted with these circumstances, but they could not be ignorant of Mr. Byng's age and the length of his services, either, and much more both, of which ought to have suppressed the offensive language which the se conder of Mr. Byng's opponent had the bad taste to use towards the oldest man and the oldest Member of the House of Commons. REVIEW AT WOOLWICH.-011 Tuesday, at 1 - twelve o'clock, Major Molesworth, Captains and Poulden, Lieutenants Dalton, Burry and Graham, with 16 non-commissio - Dennis, men, attended with the field bay`-ea officers and 110 gun and rocket practice, ,- ...eries in the marshes for Colonel Cruttenden - -rider the command of Lieut.- the 7th battalion Captain Lethebridge, Adjutant of A t twelve o'clock the Earl of Email and family - .A -..hived in a earelage with four horses, pre ceded y triders,, and accompanied by several gentle /Iv-Ai on horseback. In another carriage with four • horses were the family of Earl de Grey ; his Lordship was on horseback. Amongst the officers who arrived at the same time were the Earl of Cardigan, and a great number of others belonging to the cavalry regiments. The noble visitors were received by Lieutenant-Ge neral Lord Bloomfield and his staff, and shortly after wards practice commenced with spherical and case shot, and the firing was most excellent. The time occupied in the marshes was about two hours. Shortly after two o'clock the party assembled in the marshes entered their carriages, and proceeded to the mortar and howitzer batteries at the west end of the Pa rade-ground, where the guns and howitiers were manned by Captains Warde and Mitchell, Lieutenants Buchannan, Irving, MaCkie, Crofton, and Scott, and the men under their charge, the whole being commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel Wylde, C. 8., and Captain Grant, Adjutant of the Bth battalion. The practice at the mortar and howitzer batteries was excellent, several of the shells having struck the flag. At three o'clock the company, accompanied ba the Commandant and his Staff, adjourned to the splendid mess-room of the Royal Artillery, where they partook of a cold collation. At a quarter past four o'clock the Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Lieut.- Colonel Dyneley, marched to the common, and wen: through all the evolutions for which that branch of th servies is distinguished. The practices continued until about half-past five o'clock, when the noble party and their friends returned to town. A RIGID SENSE OF DUTY.—At one of our sea-port towns there stood (and, we believe, cloth star.' there still) a fort, on the outside of which is - -- field, overlooking a delightful prose'- • • a sPFiotli water. At the time we are spat , ' - "4. oi Mint an was the commandant ; an d _..ig of, a Major Brown milk diet, the voter— " nis family being fond of a the land of"' Xil several cows that pastured in trane^ amid ; a sentry was placed near the en part df whose duty it was to prevent stranger: and stray cattle from trespassing therein. Upon one occasion an Irish marine, a stranger to the place, was on duty at this post, and having received ;the regular orders not to allow any one to go' upon the grass but the major's cows, determined to ad here to them strictly. He had not been long at his post, when three elegant young ladies presented themselves at the entrance for the purpose of taking their usual evening walk, and were quickly accosted by the marine with " You can't go there !" "Oh !' but we may, ut tered the ladies with one voice, "we have the privilege to do so." Privilege„' repeated the sentry ; " fait an' I don't care what ye have, but yon mustn't go there, I tell ye ; it's Major Brown's positive orders to the con thrary." Oh—ay—yes—we kirow that," said the eld est of the ladies with dignity, "but we are Major Brown's daugl. , ters,” " w,;11, you dw . t.:.l-o in titere totyllow," exclaimed Pat, bringing his firclock to the port, " you may be Major Brown's daughters, but you're not .Major Brown's cows.'—Cruikshank's Qmnibus. „ t #4 i v ( - ryt;tj . • • • . r • - • 0 11 ,4 • J., It2L__ - 0 ( •. • • . ~t U' It I f ••• • DIVA S .\'',Z!..4r,444.,' 4, . 1 0 • .•. • LONDON, THURSDAY, J ULY 8, 1841. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—The failure of a house in Loinbarl-street, agent to some of the banks in the Channel Islands, was an nounced this morning, and also the stoppage of the firm of Me rentier, Tokenhouse-yard, extensively engaged in the West Indian and continental trade. The suspension of the first named house is said to have arisen out cf the failure of Messrs. Coils and Co., bill brokers, who had been guarantees for their acceptances. The stoppage of the house of alerentier is attri buted to speculations in sugar, and it is said that their paper is in circulation to a large amount, of which a considerable por tion is held in London. The banking firm in Vienna of St e i ne r is also declared def au lt ers , aril the banking establishment in Paris of Pierregues and Verninic is reported insolvent , arising from their connection s w ith Merentier. A small failure in the West India trade took place yesterday in the City. Rumours are abroad of other firms, but we hope without foundation. These failures have given rise to a con eislerable want of confidence and gloom in the City ; but as there has been no s p ecu l a ti on for twelve months past, the circulation limited, and as the action of the banks has been generally stringent since the autumn of 1839, we o not apprehend anything like a money panic. There is great depression in trade, and some establishments find it requisite to nind up and to realise their securities. The fall of prices consequent on the restrictive measures of the Bank, after the exhaustion of its bullion in 1839, made it necessary for many houses to bring their stocks to market at a heavy loss. That change in value soon extended to the Colonies, and those who had made shipments abroad, to relieve the glut at home, suf fered a further loss from sending their goods to markets already over supplied. The decrease in the Custom Revenues •of 856,991/. within the year, notwithstanding an increase of 5 per cent., shows too pl a i n ly that the trade of England is in a state of ecay ; and that the distress prevailing in the manu facturing districts must become still more general and alarming, unless means be adopted to repleni'h the springs of our pro ductive.industry sops to increase consumption, by giving cheap food and better wages to the working classes. TIMES.—Mr. Leatham, of Wakefield, who has already written two pamphlets on the currency, has recently published a table, showing in parallel columns the estimated amount of bills circulating in Great Britain and Ireland, the quarterly averages of Bank of England notee-aed other ut'tes payable on demand, the averages of bullionsia the Bank and in circulation, the average amount of securities held by the Bank, the amounts adeauced by the Bank as temporary loans, the na ture of the securities deposited, the interest demanded, and the average interest allowed by the bill-brokers for cash, all for a .period of eight years, ending January, 1840. The general inferences to be drawn from the inspection of his table Mr. Leatham leaves to his readers, but he has added some remarks to call attention to what he considers the more remarkable phenomena. The quarters in 1832-3-4, with which the table begins, exhibit the amount of bills in circula tion as expanding to a great extent the rates of interest charged by the Bank as from 3to 3a, and that allowed by the bill brokers for cash as still lower, and the bullion in the Bank rising from 5,000,0001. to 11,000,0001., and subsequently de clined to 7,000,0001. The quarters from the second half of the year 1837, through 1838 and 1839, show interest gradually ris• ing to 6 per cent., a great decrease in the latter part of the period in the bullion in the Bank, and in the earlier portion a great decrease in the amount of bills of exchange. This re action is but the result, according to Mr. Leatham, of the ap parent prosperity of the former period. POST._-Triuidad papers to May 22, Demerara to June 1, and Jamaica to June 2, have come to hand by her Majesty's packet Seagull. The ship Elizabeth and Jane had just arrived at Trinidad with 181 African immigrants of both sexes on board, all in perfect health, after a passage of 28 days. The accommodations provided for the comfort of the poor negroes are spoken of as having been most ample, and great credit is given to those interested in the outfit of the vessel for their hu manity. The labourers seemed to be in no great hurry to en gage themselves, but evinced a disposition rather to look around them in the first instance to ascertain how they might do so to the best advantage. They proved intelligent men, and far superior to those usually landed from captured slave ships, while most of the number were able to speak the Eng lish language. On the departure of the Elizabeth and Jane from Sierra Leone, two more vessels were there, about to receive emigrants—one bound far Jamaica, and the other for Demerara. The people of Trinidad seem to feel it as a great evil that the island had no agent to represent it in England, and to watch the proceedings of the President of the Board of Trade, who had announced an intended alteration in the customs' duties. The barque Superior had reached Demerara with 202 Kroomen and freemen. The Superior also had a very favourable passage, no deaths having occurred since she left Africa. Lodging and every necessary was afforded, the whole at the expense of the colony, until they should be able to procure suitable emplyment. The same vessel was char tered to return to Sierra Leone fora further supply of labourers. Arrangements were making by the islands generally for the introduction of free labourers upon a scale that should greatly discourage any project the effect of which, in the event of its being carried, would be to give extension to the cruel traffic so obstinately persevered in by that most immoral of nations, Portugal. SUN.—The accounts from theWebt India islands present no feature of novelty, having been partly anticipated by the advices via the United States. FROM THE MORNING PAYERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—The anger of the Times at the "perverse position assumed by the Conservative non-intrusionists at Aberdeeen and elsewhere, shows pretty plainly how the wind blows. The triumphant elections of the Lord Advocate and of Mr. Fox Miele are the cau'e of this ebullition of disap poirdment ; and the expected defeat of the Tory candidate, who opposes Mr. Bannerman in Aberdeen, has made the bile of our contemporary overflow. The virulent attack on Mr. Bannerman, spread over a goodly column and a half of a leader, in the Times to-day, will be best answered by the poll, which will show a majority in Mr. Bannermen's favour of nearly two to one against his antagonist. The whole article is a tissue of falsehoods and misconceptions, too well known in the northern city to change a single vote of the constituency. We shall give one example only of these blunders, leaving our readers to apply the maxim, ex uno disce omnes, The Times, in its elaborate list of Mr. Bannerman's enor mities, says that the Conservatives well remember "his memorable malversetion in attempting to misapply cer tain academical funds to the erection or repair of some bridge or another." The truth is as diametrically the reverse of this as it is possible for fact and falSehood to be. The measure thus ignorantly alluded to by the Times was a Bill brought in.° Parliament by the Corporation of the City of Aberdeen, for applying a portion of a large accumulated fund, arising net of an annual amount, originally bequeathed in the reign of Robert the Bruce, for the support and maintenance of the famous " Brig o' Belgonie," on the Don, to the erection of schools within the City of Aberdeen. Thus, instead of apply ing academic funds to build bridges, Mr. Bannerman merely proposed to apply surplus funds left for supporting a particular bridge, to academic purposes . ; the very converse of the charge brought against him. • The measure was taken up as a party question by the Conservatives, and ultimately defeated by the' votes of two or three Tories, brought down by the whip to vote against a . Bill, with the merits of which they were totally unacquainted. TIMES.—The language of the democratic party at the present crisis is admirably characteristic of their natural pro pensities and real motives.' They hail their approaching mi gration to the benches of.the Opposition with a sort of frantic boast, that it will give them more opportunities .of mischief, and a field for bolder enterprise, than they had when the Go veiiiiiiiiiit of thi Datil:fit Wits-iia-iiseia hula. If, iiideetL. t,tiia cause of these Liberal politicians is to be strengthened in Oppo sition by all the measures they neglected to carry, and all the pledges they failed to fulfil, when they were in . office, their points of attack will be as numerous as the points,' of the compass. But it will not be forgotten by, the nation, that these abuses (if such they be) were quite - ds . open to correction ashen the power of correcting them was in the hands of the very men who are now impatient tee. exercise their acutenense in detecting and their eloquence in denouncing them. It appears to be a law in Whig optics, that the imperfections of our constitution, and the breaches which time has made in the structure of the common wealth, become visible as the spectator recedes from close proximity. to the object. It has already been discovered (such is the distance which already intervenes between the Ministers and the centre of administration) that the whole trading and manufacturing interests of the country are on the verge of ruin ; and the schemes of these mighty architects for propping up the ancient fabric increase in boldness in proportion as they acquire a conviction that they will not be called upon to exe cute their projects, and that they may therefore indulge in suggesting experiments which will only bring down the roof on the heads- of their opponents. The language of Liberal candidates on the hustings and of the Liberal organs of the press, which are so overloaded with explosive matter that they miss their aim and recoil on the desperadoes who discharge them, amounts in tact to an admission, that as a Government the Melbourne Cabinet have failed to perform all those duties which they slow declare to be essential to the pub lic welfare. But having so failed when they had a majority in the House of Commons, having likewise failed with a mino rity in that House, they proceed to assure their supporters that ' in Opposition they will be quite irresistible. That they will be formidable no one doubts ; for men are always formidable when they throw off all restraint. As long as they were in office, the nature of their Ministerial functions, and the necessity of , propitiating that honourable and patriotic Opposition which lent its support to the Government in various emergencies, forced them to keep up some reserve. The heads of the party filling several of the highest offices of state, were not disposed to risk their characters or their fortunes in order to gratify all the passions of their democratic tools. But in Opposition, the more cautious members of the present Cabinet will instantle , he distanced and Contumeliously disavowed by their late ad herents. it u V ERTlSER.—Whatever may . be the result•of the elec tions yet remaining to be decided, it is now evident that in the next House of Commons parties must be so equally balinced as to render it impossible for any Administration to carry on the affairs of the country with efficiency . and satisfaction for any length of time, and, therefore, to make it highly probable that but a short time will elapse before the constituencies of the British empire be again appealed to for their decision on the conduct of their Representatives. It is, in fact, now all but cer tain that, ere long, we shall have another general electien. Let the constituencies, therefore, at once prepare to redeem their • representation from the false and faithless hands to which, in too ~ many instances, they le o lately confided it, Let every man qualified for the suffr hose no time in seeing that his name be duly placed on the' registry. Claims for - votes in counties must be made before the 20th instant, and in boroughs all poor.r:tes and assessed taxes must be paid before the sante day. Register, Reformers ! Register, as you value your freedom and all that is dear to you as citizens. No time is to be lost. If your names be not on the registries, arid your taxes paid hefore the 20th instant, you shall be, for the ensuing twelve months no better than slaves, without the slightest means of givipg legislative expression to any opinion on the in stitutions established for your government, or upon the changes, good or bad, which may be proposed in them. Re gister, therefore, as you value, not only . your political rights, but as you value your daily bread. Taken by surprise, unprepared for the good which was offered to their acceptance, and uncertain of tho firmness and good faith of those proposing it, the borough constitu encies, in many instances, allowed their representation to be wrested from them by factious monopolists with most apa thetic indifference.- But little excuse can be offered for such conduct under any circumstances ; but if, after having expe rienced such infliction, they suffer the opportunity to pass without preparing for its removal, they deserve their fate, and are unworthy of the fostering care which, whatever may have been its conduct in other respects, the present Ministry has evinced for their interests in the proposed modifications of the prohibitory duties.

Cerrahily, such an instrument if properly authenticated B i nd', duly verified, would of course set the matter at rest .; not that it can be deemed of the slightest moment with;reference to his talents, but, it is of moment as affecting the Character of one who all admit to have been in every sense a gentleman, for veracity; to say nothing of that innate love of " native home," to be without which, is to forfeit, in my judgment, the character of a true patriot. Mr. Power was not, in my belief, the man to palm himself off for what he knew he was not, and it is, I think, a shame, without the most irrefragable evidence, to persist in asserting that he did not belong to the country he himself positively always asserted that he did. When he arrived at Cardiff in 1811, with his mother, he not only possessed a bit of the brogue, of a very genuine character, but truly he was endowed with a pretty considerable slice of that national peculiarity, as Mr. Adamson, whom I have before named, can, I am sure, testify ; and it marred considerably the general good effect of his declamation ; his mother also, who in appearance and manners, was a perfect gentle woman, was in a slighter degree amenable to the same reproach, if reproach it be considered ; she was, as I have often been told by Mr. Power, but never as a matter of boast, a near relative of the cele brated Counsellor Grattan, and that his father had been in the army—in what situation I believe I never heard. Had there been the slightest grounds for representing Mr. Power as a Welshman born, on his arrival at Car diff, it would manifestly have been his mother's policy and interest to do so, as it would at once have enlisted the sympathy and ardour of the natives in his behalf ; the attachment of a Welshman to his country and coun trymen being I believe as enthusiastic as that of any . people under Heaven ; but she knew there were no grounds for such an assertion, and I hope never more to ! witness any attempt to tarnish his deservedly-high per ; Dana], and professional character, by the repetition of assertions which impugn his character for veracity, and thereby deeply wound the feelings of all his friends, and they are legion. Apologising most sincerely for in truding at this length on your time and columns, for which my only excuse must be the old Welsh proverb, " Yr Gwyr yr Erbyn yr Byd"—" The truth against the world." I have the honour to remain, Mr. Editor, Your very obedient servant, P. J. Camden Town, July 6, 1841. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER—TUESDAY EVENING. Since Friday, two or three horses have been supported with extraordinary spirit, particularly Retriever, Milk sop, and Rhodanthe. The latter has been backed to win several thousands. The attendance was good this fore noon ; several gentlemen being present from other parts of the county, as well as from more distant places. The offers on the field at the opening were 6 to 1, very freely given. • 8 to 1 was then laid v. Calypso, and a bet of a hundred was made between her and Charles XII. ; the mare left off with the call. 3to 1 was repeatedly offered on the field v. two. Orelia was in strong request ; we only saw 9tol in scores once laid. Retriever, backed from 15 to 10 to 1 yesterday, in various sums, finishing with 800 to 80, was not as good a favourite ; our quota tion was laid as the room broke up ; but " a sum" could not, we think, have been got on at anything beyond 12 to 1. Maroon, and his stable companion, Recorder, were so close together that a cool hundred was laid between them, and afterwards an offer made to take 1,000 to 800 Recorder beats the four-year-old with Bst. 101 b. Milksop had a very influential friend present, who coupled him to Maroon, and took 6 to 1 in good style, and also offered to take 13 to 1 in hundreds on Milksop. 70 to 40 was laid two or three times on Calypso v. Milksop. The Young-'un and Sampson were in no request. As near as we could collect, the average prices (which will vary daily) are as follows : THE LIVERPOOL Ci.TP. 7 to 1 agst Mr. St. Paul's Calypso—offered 7 to 1 agst Mr. Johnstone's Ch*rles XlL—offered 8 to 1 agst Mr. Allen's Orelia-a-, 9 to 1 taken freely 12 to 1 agst Milksop—take 13 to 1 13 to 1 agst Major Hay's Retriever—take 14 to 1 14 to 1 agst Lord Westminster's; Maroon—taken 14 to 1 agst Recorder—taken 15 to 1 agst Lord Stanley's RhOdanthe—talten 15 to 1 agst The Young-'uti—off 15 to 1 agst Lord George's two—off 30 to 1 agst Mr. Ridsdale's Bloomsbury—taken 30 to 1 agst Mountain Sylph—taken 50 to 1 agst Mr. T.

A Peep into the EditOritil Department—American, Pa triot, Republican, Sun, Clipper, and Argus, 6^c. There are six daily papers published here, three of which are sixpennies, the remainder, pennies ; two of the former, the American and Republican, are issued in the morning, and the other, the Patriot, in the after noon ; two of the latter, the Clipper and Sun, are morn ing papers • the Argus, the third penny paper, is pub lished in the afternoon. All the large papers are political. The American and Patriot are Whig, and the Republican is opposition. Of the pennies, the Clipper and Sun pass for neutral, and the Argus advocates the opposition Party. Of all the sixpennies, the Americau is the oldest, most quiet, respectable, best edited, and best supported ; and, unlike the other political papers here and elsewhere, it treats politics and its opponents with a calmness and mo deration that is quite praiseworthy ; it is free from all the brawling, bragging, and lying style of political papers ge nerally. It was established before the i lastwar, and though it has often changed its proprietors, yet it has lost none of that popularity and confidence which was bestowed upon it when it first started. It was strictly neutral, until about an hour since, it " defined its position," by declaring itself Whig, and though a large' number of its subscribers were opposed to the principles it began to advocate, yet they did not relinquish their support on that account ; for they were doubtless well aware that if they did, they could not find a substitute on their own side that was as available. The mercantile community find it to be just such ajournal as they require, and by them it is generally supported. Its editors are Messrs. Mur phy, Dobbin, and Bose, who are talented and, gentle manly individuals. Mr. Bose is the gentleman who re cently enlightened our citizens on the public works and resources of Pennsylvania, for which task he is as com petent as any ether person that the Committee could have selected. I should suppose that the American cir culated four thousand copies. The Patriot is a paper that is popular with the Whigs, and it goes more into.politics than the American. The Opposition have named it the "Pipelayer's Organ," but it does not deserve that cognomen as well as does another paper that is published here ; it is an old paper also. In the time of the last war, it was edited by its present editor, Colonel Isaac Munroe, who was among this city's gallant defenders at the bombardment of Fort M`Henry. He has been -its editor ever since, and has battled long and ardently for the cause he advocates, and I am glad to learn that he has profited by his ardu ous occupations, and has now become wealthy. He de serves some further remuneration from his party, for his indefatigable and successful'exertions in their cause for a long period, and more particularly last year, when, in additiou to the Patriot, he published the famous Log Cabin Advocate. I_ should suppose the Patriot circu lates three thousand copies. The Republican is the next and last of the six pennies. It is a red-hot, rabid, rough shod " Loco Foco " print, and has been established some years. It was the leading Van Buren organ in the State. It has changed hands some four or five times in the last five years, but the whole Democratic party own it ; it is open to them all, now that the patronage of the Government has been taken from it. It is probable it will go down altogether. Messrs. Harker and Busk are the ostensible editors. I expect the Republican circulates about 2,000 copies. So much for the " respectable sixpennies." Of the penny papers, the Sun was the first established, in 1837, by the proprietors of the Philadelphia Ledger, who were already niaking money in Philadelphia, and, as the penny system was a new thing here, the Sun, aided by the Ledger, rapidly increased its circulation. The Clipper was established in September, 1839, by J. H. Hewitt, under whose auspices it flourished until he withdrew, which was about three months since. He was witty, as well as otherwise talented. The proprietors are Messrs. Bull and Tuttle. The present editors are James Barnes and John W. Wills, Esquires, who are competent, and are makingexertions to render the Clipper the best penny paper in the country. The Argus is a small, but well conducted and spirited paper. It was established last year ; its editor is a young gentleman, who is talented, and is a sterling advocate of temperance. The Argus circulates about two thousand copies.—New York Herald. BORROWING.—We have received a letter, says the Boston (American) Post, from a correspondent, in which he speaks in strong term of reprobation of borrowing in general, and book borrowing in particular. He talks like a man who has suffered some. He says he lived at one time on the banks of the Mississippi, and gives the following as a specimen of the extent to which the practice is carried :—" Will you lend me your axe ? you won't want to use it I reckon."—" Why, yes I'll let you take it, seein' you want it." In about two months the owner does want to use his age, and he applies to the borrower of it, but he has not got it ; " the last he seed on't, Mr. Fletcher had it to cut some roots with." The poor owner then goes to Mr. Fletcher—" Stranger base you seen my axe I lent to Mr. Bent t'other day ?" " Why, yes, I reckon Mr. Bower's got it ; he said he wanted to chop some firewood, so I lent it him. You'd best ask him for it."—He goes—" Mornin', Mr. Bower —how's your wife ?"—"Lively I reckon—how's yours ?" About right, I reckon—have you a hold of my axe ?"--" I reckon I have. I have smashed the handle —it wits a powerful weak one—but you can mend it ; and when you have done it I'd like to borrow it agin, 'cause I have a smart chance of wood to cut and want to use it 'specially." VIRTUE OF COLD WATER.—Mr. John J. Van Vorst, of the city of Schenectady, was one hundred years old on the nth of January last. He served his country in the "French" and "Revolutionary" wars, but "never wet his lips with alcoholic drinks." Very many of his companions not only drank their rations of liquor, but spent all their pay for the poison. Nearly all of these have long since died drunkards. Mr. V. V. has never squandered his property. He has lived in cheerful com petence, and has seen his children's children to the fourth generation. The police of New Orleans is formed of a curious set of fellows. One named Pinchem is now held to bail for killing a man, and three others have been hauled up for an attempt at bur_glary. A TERRIBLE FELLOW.—The Mr. Brown, who took a cow-hiding a short time since for exposing some boobies, that make it their business to insult ladies, now carries a dirk-cane. It is hung on his left arm, both by night and by day. So you gentlemen-loafers look out how you insult his dignity.—.Aznerican Paper. FANNY ELSSLER.—The divine danseuse appears on Monday, at the Park. She has not made an engage ment at Philadelphia. She asked $5OO per night, but Pratt said " No, I'll give you half the house and a place in heaven." " I can't take him," said Fanny, " I can not take less dan five hundred dollars, and a seat in de oder place."—New York Herald. OIL TRADE.—There have arrived during the month of May, at various ports of the United States, thirty-four whalers, comprising twenty-one ships, eight barks, four brigs, and one schooner. By these arrivals the country has been enriched,. within the short space of a single month, to at least the amount of one and a half million of dollars. Our report presents one feature somewhat the reverse of former statements, in the fact that, of the two sorts of oil imported, the greater quantity has been spermaceti. There have been brought in, • mostly from beyond Cape Horn, no less than 1,041,862 gallons of sperm oil, and in the same period, from elsewhere, 880,740 gallons of right whale oil. Upwards of one third of the quantity of sperm oil, imported into the country in the month of May, was brought by vessels belonging to this port.—Nantucket Inquirer. Those who are in the habit of expressing their wonder at what the British aristocracy "do with their own, " will, perhaps, learn how th e nobility of this country ex pend their incomes. To prove this we extract the fol lowing particulars of the Consumption of wine and ale , wax - lights, &c., at• Be- voir Castle, the seat of the Noble Duke Rutland, of from December, 1839, to April, 1840, or about eight weeks. Wine 200 dozen, ale 7 0 hhds. ; wax-lights, 2,330 ; sperm oil, 630 gallons. Dined at his Grace's table, 1,997 persons • at the steward's room, 2 , 42 1 ; in the serv an t s ' h a ll: nursery, including and kitchen department, comers and goers, bread there wer e consume d 8,333 ; of 11 0 ,3 f 1 2 loaves persons.

The quantity of game killed by his Grace and friends, and consumed at Belvoir Castle alone, was 2,589 head. Supposed value, 1931. 13s. 6d. The total quantity of game killed during the season. over all his Grace's manors, is thus stated :- 1,733 hares, 987 pheasants, 2,101 partridges, 23 wild ducks, 108 woodcocks, 135 snipes, 947 rabbits, 776 grouse, 23 black game, and 6 teal. The particulars are given in a History of Belvoir Castle, recently published. The Tories are continually talking of their at tachment to the Throne, but it is certain that if they have any such affection, not the smallest portion of it is extended to the illustrious person by whom the throne is at present occupied. Open insults and dastardly inu endos are being continually resorted to by the Conser vative press, of which the Post of this morning gives, in a pretended notice to a correspondent, a most loath some specimen. "We hope," runs the language of the notice, " our correspondent is in error, when he inti mates that the intelligence of the death of the Queen of Hanover had arrived at Buckingham Palace on Saturday before her Majesty went to the Opera." Now, the edi tor of the Post can have no "hope" upon the subject, he must know, for it was so stated in all the papers of Monday, that the intelligence alluded to did not reach Buckingham palace until Sunday. The Post's " wish is the father to the thought ; " but it will wish in vain, before it can get hold of a real and su bstantial handle for-the numerous air-blown calumnies against the Queen, that have been engendered by the foul breath of Tory malignity. It is rumoured in the fashionable circles that the Marchioness of Londonderry is about to publish a descriptive account of her late trip to the Court of the Sultan.—Courier. , . al ( , e EVENING SUN. THE KIRK OF SCOTLAND. (From the Scottish Guardian.) We have authority to state that, in a written reply to the. queries submitted by the Mends of the Church of Scot land in London to Lord John Russell, in common wit& the other candidates, Welig and Conservative, for the re presentation of the metropolis, Lord John Russell hes avowed, in their broadest and most unmitigated form,, the views of the Scottish Church question which have. been attributed to Sir Robert Peel. He says he cannot. assent to the Duke of Argyll's Bill " without modifica tion ;" and one Modification which he expressly re quires is, "that those who have acted on their ow victions of duty, in obedience to the law as laid down in the civil tribunals," shall be "preserved to the Church of Scotland." This is sufficiently unequivocal. There is no mistaking Lord John's import and in tentions ; and all the hopes we may have enter tained from that quarter are now broken down. It only convinces us the more of the soundness of the policy we have ventured to recommend to the members and friends of the Church, namely, to keep its great interests clear of partizanship, and shape out an independent - , un biassed, and inoffensive course for itself. Give us Otis, and, trusting to the_Divine favour, we fear neither ;:iir Robert Peel nor Lord John Russell. The two Parlia mentary leaders are now on a footing of equality before the Scottish electors on the Church question. Whether Sir Robert spoke his own sentiments on a recent wee sion, or only predicated what would be the sentiments of the Legislature, there can be no doubt about what his real opinions are. They are identical, doubtless, with those of the Whig leader in the House of Commons. It is for the electors to make a dead set upon both, and endeavour to convince them that the condition they •are disposed to attach to the passing of the Duke of Argyll's Bill is alto gether incompatible with the duty which the Church owes to her Divine Head, and would, if carriei into effect, prove destructive of her existence. We have only farther to say, that this declaration of Lord John Russell's discharges those obligations which electors have felt themselves under in consequence of the state-. ment attributed to Sir Robert Peel, although in many cases it may tend to increase rather than diminish their difficulty of action. We may also mention that the other Whig candidates for the city of London declined to give any opinion whatever on the subject of the Scottish Church question, and pointedly refused, through their Chairman, to favour a deputation of our Scottish friends in London with a joint interview. It is extremely pleasing to have to add that all the four Conservative candidates, viz., our countryman Alderman Pink, and Messrs. Lyall, Masterman, and Attwood, agreed to the principle of the Duke of Argyll's Bill. The following is Lord John Russell's letter above re ferred to : Wilton Crescent, June 26, 1841, Sir.—ln answer to the circular you have sent to me, I beg to state, in the first place, that lam not ready to. plege myself to any particular course of conduct, by which I might be precluded from agreeing to some plan calculated to establish harmony in the Church of Scot land. I informed Lord Aberdeen last year, that if his Bill came into the House of Commons, I should op pose it. I must still do so, unless it is greatly altered. I am not prepared to assent to the Duke of Argyll's Bill, without modification. I am anxious to preserve to the Church of Scotland those members who have con ceived themselves bound to enforce the Veto Act by the deposition of those who did not obey it, and also those Ministers who have acted on their conviction of duty, in obedience to the law as laid down in the civil tribu nals. I conceive this object is still attainable, and it will not be till all hope of conciliation is at an end, that I shall determine upon the ultimate course to be pur sued. To such a Bill as you mention in your first and second iresolutions, properly guarded, and which shall secure on the one hand the opinion of a deliberate majority of male communicants, and which shall on the other provide not for the mere assent, but the conscien tious examination of the rejection by the Church Courts, I shall willingly give my concurrence. Allow me to say, farther, that a spirit of conciliation and charity can alone give efficacy to any law or writ t e n agreement us .n the subject. I have the honour to be, your most o sent servant, J. Boyle, Esq. (Signed ) J. RUSSELL. [Lord John ilussell's letter contains some infor mation regarding the course he would pursue ; but the letter of Sir Robert Peel, on the sane subject, to the Duke of Argyll, none. The statement in the Scottish Guardian, that all the four Conservatives agreed to the principles of the Duke's Bill, we have great reason to doubt ; and if any such pledge were given by three of the candidates, it amounted to this— . I know nothing about the Kirk, but if you will vote for us, we will assent to the preamble of the bill, and 'leave the rest to Sir Robert Peel," who they , knew was more hostile to it than Lord John Russell.] THE CITY ELECTION . . TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN: SlR,—The result of the late City election, satisfa-Aory as it is in so far as the leader of the free trade question has a seat in Parliament, bestowed by a constituency' which, though unworthy in some respects, is yet the first constituency in the kingdom, nevertheless presents some painful subjects for inquiry. The narrow interests of the agriculturists, and of those with.whom they sympathise, are well understood by themselves, and as stoutly defended. The interests of the inhabitants of the city of London, frori its mer chants down to its humblest shopkeepers (excepting certain monopolists), are distinctly antagonistic to the narrow views of the agriculturists ; a mitigation of the coria duties, a reduction in the price of colonial and other produce, will clearly-be beneficial to the inhabi tants of London, and they are too well instructed to be itt any doubt about the matter. How then is it, that the man whose name is identified with the free trade ques tionl was not highest on the poll by som e 7,000 votes ? 1 How is it that three candidates are above him, and that the most important candidate (I mean important so far as his identification with such momentous questions) should obtain a place at all with difficulty ? Clearly, me it appears to me, because there is a powerful body in the city of London, whose notions and interests are an tagonistic to the interests of the great body of the inhabitants, I mean the Corporation of Louden. It will be interesting to examine the votes, and I am assured it will appear, that very few indeed of thogei connected with the Corporation, voted for Lord John Russell. Very few supported him, except some noisy jobbing patriots, who pick up their subsistence by coh nection with the Liberal party in the City. The Corpo ration has its own purposes to serve, and, as it has the expenditure every year of more than half a million of money, it i s very powerful in the means of securing its own sinister interests. Lord John Russell was denounced by that Corporation, because, as a means of most ra tional and economical improvement, he desired to conso lidate the Metropolitan Police ; and, if that had been done, the inhabitants of the City would have been saved 17,0001. a-year, and person and property would have been better protected. It was not done, but the Corpo . ration became, nevertheless, the implacable enemies of Lord John Russell, who just scotched the snake which he ought to have crushed, as he did, and when he did, much to his honour, those nests of vermin, the corpora • tions of the provincial towns. If this had babe done, there is no doubt that Lord John would h en at the head of the poll, and the City of London would have returned not two with difficulty, but four members tri umphantly, to support and represent the opinions and interests of the enlightened and high-minded people of the City. It is so much the obvious and palpable interest of London that commerce should flourish, that no other cause can be assigned for the result of the late election, than the hostility of the Corporation, who, as a body, are far behind the inhabitants in intelligence and public spirit, and who, as holding so heavy a purse, are invincible among the needy and unprincipled freemen, the retention of whom, in the town constituencies, is very much to be reg retted- If the Whigs had insisted on disfranchising these freemen, and had given in the ballot, all the best interests and noblest aspirations of the human race would not be pe rilled as they are at this moment. I say of t the human race, for not only England, but all Europe, trembles at Tory ascendancy. I make these remarks that e the l con- f o_ t res a u n int s ion o s duct of the corporators, throug h all their h ne influence, may be examined, and if my p d demand the complete polls ought to rise as one man a co pt body, which extirpation of an aritiquated and local are well-founded, the inhabitants f he whole mpetro taxes, and upholds oppresses them with enormo wlio are, or would town in Cornwall be, a disgrace to the hum that the local taxa or Scotland.

All EPISTLE FROM LADY . ----- TO THE COUNTESs OE ---- Alv DEAR LADY ----, You can't think ho w much these election affairs Are disturbing g ood folks from their meetings and prayers, And how charm 'd we shall be when the bustle is o'er, And we're settled, all snug, in our boroughs once more. If it were not, indeed, for the heart-cheering hope Of defeating thus Dan and the Dev'l and the Pope, I should wish the whole Parliament, Peer and 51. P.— That's to say, the lVhig part of it,—sunk in the sea.. 'Tis, indeed, for us Saints, who delight in high prices, Yet quake for our souls, a most terrible crisis -- Like Hercules doubting , when.placed 'twixt the two, Wh e th e r Pleasure or Virtue i ns best to pursue. For, alas, my dear friend, if one loses one's seat, One may lose, too, for ever, dear sugar and wheat ; And, if thus the free-traders should carry it hollow. One knows not what other dear things then may follow ; Till soon, by that swift-sliding scale which they call " Bringing nobles to ninepence," our value may fall, Till we're cheapen'd, God help us, to noth in g at all ! Meanwhile, you can't think, dear, what numbers one meets Who're neglecting their souls to look after their seats ; And, until the new Parliament writs are return'd, Holy Writ, must, I fear, be entirely adjourn'd. Nor is't any wonder that laymen should stray, When the 'whole Church Establishment goes the sae way, And regards, at this moment, the state of men's so m uls Quite as nothing, compared with the state of the polls. Not to heav'n, but the hustings, look vicars and rectors, And Calvin himself, could he see how his sect errs, Would swear that th' Elect are now worse than th' electors. In short, my dear friend, these political cares Have quite interrupted our nice " Tea and Prayers,"— ( Those soirees devout, where the Sixth Angel's trumpet Was duly discuss'd over Congou and crumpet)— Nor can we now hope to enjoy any more canvas e d turns neighbour out.
