The Sun. — London, England, 1841-06-29 00:00:00

IMORNING SUN by no principle, to lean on no party, save the Aonopolists. It is to be based on no opi nion, but rerdy and willing to em brace any principle, or adopt any opinion Which is likely to keep the " National party" in place and power. Such is the middle sort of thing, the neither fish nor flesh nor good red herring system, which the Times now offers to the people, and calls on them to support at the • elections. One principle, indeed it has—the ci. Principle of combining tc, res i s t th e progress of t: truth, knoWledge, and freedom, the Tories being t a gain most sillily ben% on resisting the " resist hsiordinations of providence, 48 i n 1831, t o con- rovidence, and ready nod, itd iulse the country without at taining their enl is, s enselets, and in order to gratify their blind, factious ambition. that the S ,tandard Reform f had ascribed a placard to the . rs of Bath which obviously originated with e Tories, and was a Tory trick. We men tioned that our Contemporary, bold and inge n'°u''s as be is, did not venture to imply that it err .anated from the Radical Committee, though tine Placard was a i3retended recommendation of the Radical candidates. • Such being the pal ' `, ,J) 1 ) 1 e nature of the placard, we were much sur ps • e i • • d, after we had pointed that out, to find it -.made the subject of an elaborate leading article 1i the Times of Saturday, and still more Prised were we to find that Journal going far be- Yond the Standard, and asserting that the pia ' card was put forth by Lord DUNCAN and Mr. ROEBUCK. We said nothing on the subject on Saturday or yesterday, because we were con vinced that the prominency given to it by the Times would ensure a contradiction to it. Ac cordingly, yesterday morning, there appeared in • the communication from Bath, of the corre spondent of a Morning Contemporary, an au thorised denial of the statement that the placard proceeded from the two Liberal candidates for • Bath. The placard was not known at Bath, nor - . had it been seen, except by one person, who saw „ tri _it in the hands of a Tory, till it appeared in the T imes. Thus it was originally a Tory fabrication, and the Times, after that had been announced in Wir pages, had the daring impudence to state that it was a genuine clacurnent put forth by Lord DUNCAN and Mr. itto - Enueic. That is one of the tricks of the Tory press. In the Standard of last night appears a posi t- five contradiction of a false and calumnious statement concerning Dr. BOWRING, which has appeared in that Journal. We copy it. TO THE EDIT O R OF THE STANDARD. Slit —I have-this rt.oment seen your paper of the 24th inst. You call attention to an expression said to have been used by me of a most irreverend and irreligious character—an expression abhorrent to my nature, and most inconsistent with my opinions and my writing, and l b, ask w hy th e accusat i on o f h av i ng em pl o y e d it h as "een uncontradicted by me ? , Sir ! It was instantly c ontradicted. The walls of Bolton were placarded with an indignant denial, and the multitude appealed to—every man who heard me can testify that the statement of the Edito r of the Bolton Chronicle is a daring and desperate Cal umny. You, I know, from long experience, will help to redress the wrong that has been done me ; and I trust e newspapers that have given circulation to it will fol your houourable" example. aw., Sir, your obedient servant, • Manchester, June 25. JOHN BOWRING. From the pages of the Standard we also copy ‘ f a denc.al, which Capt. DILLON has given to a ca .) lu nl'iy of the Dublin Evening Mail, and which Q 4 doubtless graced the pages of the Standard, • ,Its it copies the contradiction : TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING MAIL. United Service Club, June 23, 1841. SIR,—I have just read in your paper of this evening, that I " the day before yesterday, received a peremptory mandate to the effect that, if I did not retire from the contest in Mayo, I must no longer consider myscjif as an Aide -de-Camp." As I never did- receive any such " mandate," nor ever even heard that it was intended I mould, till I read it, in your paper, I beg you will haw', the goodness to give the statement a contradiction, lyr y inserting this letter ; for I assure you that, even if it mad been the loss of a much higher appointment than thy', ; of Aide-de-Camp, it would not have deterred me fro-, n seeking to represent that County, had it not been Iroved to me that I was injuring the Liberal cause by Cviding the interest of that party. beg further to rew...ric, that this letter is written by me 1 , 1 1 , Without the knowle,dge of his Excellency or any member of his Governrnen .c.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your "edient servant , CONSTANTINE A. DILLON. ,;ite. These ar.e specimens of the vile acts of per slar.der by which the Tories seek to gain a ' Political end. Great, enormous, and daily l ying is their habitual practice. For this the Stan ~ lard has- long been renowned ; and, till Wit} fin a recent period, we did not think it could be surpassed. We felt, however, constrained to 4, sert, some days ago, that the Times was fast 'lqualling its Tory rival. With the above in . stance before us of its shameless audacity, we °OW question whether we must not assign to it t he palm of superiority in the Tory art of lying. In bold, ferociwas, calumnious falsehood, we be lieve surpe.s3es even the Standard. Neither • •. Of these Jc,nrnals can, however, longer impose on the r,ublic. The intelligence which has Pierced 'through and exposed the many artfu dis guis' -s of the Tory chieftain, the great master Tory arts, cannot be deceived by the vulgar a nd coarse contrivances of the subordinate per - L . °T.mers, who ape his gait and manner. The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have ah leached us. British politics now form the leading theme for discussion in the columns of the Parisian Press. A Knful sensation was produced in Paris on Saturday by t he arrival of news of the loss of the Pollux steamer. The, mortal remains of M. GARNIER PAGES, the elo quent Radical Deputy, were, on Saturday morning, con . N ., I,,igneo to their last resting-place in the Cemetery of Pere i . (."aaise. The hearse was followed to the grave by 1 2 ' ° 0 0 students, who walked four abreast. The whole '4. 1 13. ember following the melancholy procession was sup •,..l; ti 13() sed to exceed 8,000. Strong detachments of military ,_ z • ' Were in attendance to preserve order, but not the slight est disturbance took place. M. GARNIER PAGES has not left behind him in France a man worthier than him self of the confidence of his countrymen. Yv e were enabled on Saturday to anticipate the greater P o rtion of the Levant news published in these Journals. ether portions will be found in another part of The Sun. ~,,. We have received the following letter from Toulon of the --- Ju ne ' .. this Reports of war are again spread in the West, and seem .1..)4i cu ilo: .....zatime to gain much credit. It is announced that Vice-Ad- Hugon is going to receive ordors to return to port with I' ? , _ ' Ite_squadron, and that all the ships are to be victualled for six '''..• _ "ths, and immediately afterwards to proceed to the Levant. il l .

It is stated in advices of June 17, from V?rink-A, ghat the 'new loan had not been taken. it hard transpired, however, that the payments upon it were tb be by_instalments —that the Bonds were to Le printed in German, French, and English — that they were not to be converted before the lapse of ten years—that 1 per cent. cf the nominal amount raised was to be eipplied as a sinking fund—that the interest was to be payable at other places besides Vienna—and that, in the event of war breaking out, which was by no means anticipated, the cosn tractors should not be called upon to pay up any further in stalments. An extensive system of forgery had been dis covered at Vienna, 10-florins notes, to no less an amount than 80,000 florins, being in circulation. All the parties were ' under arrest. The accounts from America, inserted in last evening's Edi tion of The Sun, gave rise to a good deal of conversation in the City, and they appear not to bo regarded altogether in the most favourable light. As to Mr. Fox's management of the delicate affair of the Caroline, it has been all that could be wished. ..... Trade in America was not quite sb good. There has not been much activity in the Funds to-day, and upon the whole prices were firm. Consuls for the opening brought 89a in the morning; acd the. only effect of the ac counts from America was to make them 89i a in the afternoon, at which they closed. Exchequer Bills were es. to 10s.premium ; and India Bonds par. to 2s. premium. The Reduced Three and-a-Half per Cents. were at 98a to ; and Bank Stock kept steady at 168 i. The Peninsular Stocks were a fraction better, but the bar gains in them were vary limited.

M'Lzon.—Mr. lox, the British Minister, has written a letter to Mr. Webster, our Secretary of State, and the latter has replied to it, and inclosed a copy of his instructions to the Attorney-General of the United States. In his correspondence, Mr. Webster has added new laurels to the wreath which already crowned his brow. The correspondence is not particularly important, except as it involves the first state papers of any consequence which have emanated from our Secretary of State. The strong points of the two letters may be briefly told. Mr. Fox's letter com prises two points. He says that the British have fully ap proved of the burning of the Caroline, and justified all the acts of their Minister here consequent there on ; and have secondly instructed him to demand the immediate and unconditional release of M'Leod. Mr. Fox's letter also contains some personal remarks relative to internal relations between the State and the Federal Govern ment, which Mr. Webster evidently considered beneath his notice. Mr. Webster's letter is rather too wordy, but in every other respect they are most able and eloquent produc tions, and here Mr. Webster in a most manly manner, states what are the real feelings of the general Government on this point. He says, " the undersigned has now to signify to Mr. Fox, that the Government of the United States has not changed the opinion which it has heretofore expressed to her Majesty's Government, of the character of the act of destroying the Caroline." United states Bank Stock 181. The nomination (of which full particulars will be seen in another part of The Sun) absorbs all attention at present. The Liberals are confident of success. The news from Lisbon is looked upon as very unfavourable. The embarrassments of the Treasury are evidently bringing matters to a crisis, and many expect soon to hear of a sus pension of national' payments of all kinds in Portugal, as the Government cannot much longer pawn its revenues, or give 20 per cent. for loans. The short supplies of wheat are m aking the article advance. Consols, Account, 89a 894 ; Mexican, 27 1 4 27i ; Deferred, 8-1 9; Spanish, 22h 22 k . Prices firm, with every appearance of a rise.

TORY BENTINCK RUN FROM KlNbAt, Not having the shadow of a doubt ag ttl th fottit of the contest which was last week expected for our borough, we were delighted to hear that the Tory candidate had returned to Kendal on Monday night last, and was de termined to stand his ground and come to the poll, his party, up to a late hour on Wednesday evening, spoke as confidently as ever, and professed to be certain of vic tory. Our joy was turned away, however, on Thursday morning, by the announcement that Mr. Bentinck had yielded to his opponent, and retired from the field— thus falsifying the fond boastings of his friends, who so delightedly ran after him. Had there been a contest, Mr. Wood would have been returned by an immense majority. The Liberal electors of Kendal are men of their word, and the testing time would not have found one wanting. It would have been satisfactory, however, to have seen who were and who were not his supporters, wbo amongst us were foolishly blind enough to support a system of monopoly which is bringing beggary to them ' selves, distress to our town. and ruin upon the country at large, in a commercial point of view ; as well as endan goring the dearest and most importa . nt libgties of the commonwealth.—Kendca AfercuT., - TEE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 1841. REPRESENTATION .o IUARYLE- BONE. At a meeting of the United Committee of Reformers, held yesterday at the Colosseum, New road, it was stated by several members, that members of the Cabbell and Hamilton Committee confessed to them in the morning that the two Tories had no chance—that the withdrrn ' t of Sir James Hariiiltonw* ,Pettly ligreta ig:---and teat, whatever course MAI Be taken it was " a great shame" td per Wilie hi putting the Liberal candidates to ex .pense, when the canvass had already satisfied the Tories themselves that their case was utterly hopeless.

A resolution pledging the electors pre sent to support, by every effort, the Liberal candidates at the approaching election, and to come early to the poll, was proposed by Mr. John Savage, seconded bey Mr. Thorns, and carried by acclamation, A similar meeting was held at the Ree=liiVe TaVern, Chapel-street, Somers' Town., and t 1 resolution to the same effect was carried with the utmost enthusiasm.

DREADFUL CIRCUMSTANdE AT lIITTERLEi Clitmen, SALOP.—.c t the conclusion of divine service on Sunday mornin g last, just as the blessing was being concluded, a large Newfoundland puppy, the property of the Rev. C. Walcot, rushed into the tele Of the church, followed by a fei-Bettsal which instantly seized and bit Mtn. He then retired cot of the church, and went round the house at Bittetley Court, meeting a large mastiff' which was never known to rite tiWay from any dog but in this instance he ran away, was soon overtaken, and bitten. The dog then went on, and found some young greyhounds, one or more of which he bit ; he then went towards Mr. Walcoes man ser vant, who was coming out of church, whore he bit (it is hoped slightly) through his clothes.

By this time the vil lage was alarmed and several guns brought out, and the dog was shot without proceeding any further, Medical assistance was procured from Ludlow as speedily as possible, and it is hoped by cutting away the injured parts and eauk.riditig, that no bad eft'ects will be produced. It is not known as yet where the hound came from, but he was seen to go through the sandpits turnpike gate at Ludlow in the morning, and the gate keeper.then expressed his apprehension to his wife that the dog was mad.—Salopian Journal.

WESTMINSTER ELECTION.--Turncoats seem to revel hi exhibiting the depth of the dye which dis tinguishes their present from their former habits. Will , it be believed that Sir Robert Wilson is moving " heaven and earth " in Westminster, for Captain Rous, against Evans and Leader, whose opinions he once shared. It would seem that mortification prompts him to exclaim, in the words of Magestius, " Si superos flectere nequeo Acheronta movebo." Sir Robert is " neither fish, flesh, nor good red herring," as honest Jack says of Mrs. Quickly: " nobody knows when to have Jilin.' Who does not remember his speeches and conduct in Westmin ster, at the time of Queen Caroline's trial ? Cobbett predicted then that Sir Robert's "hatchet nose" would not vary its political direction without good "con-si-de ra-ti-on. ' But Sir Robert (there are two Sir Roberts, Arcades ambo, in the field) may let his former opinions light against his latter, and so save the trouble of confu tation, by, putting each other down. First he was a Tory—then a Reformer—and then a Tory again. One time he addressed the Bourbons, and at another (witness Lavalette) he was anti-Bouqonite to the backbone, At one time, it was his Cue to Make a demi-god of Napo leon ; at another he was the most infamous of poisoners, bvad the horror of humanity. What can be done with such opinions ? What can be said of their versatile pro prietor ? His life all see-saw, between that and this, Now high, now low; now master up, now miss.

THE SEA DEVIL.—A fine specimen of the Army inhabitant of the deep which has, by vulgar con sent, obtained the above name, but is classically known as the lophius, was last week caught on the Humber bank, near the citadel, by a fisherman of this port. It is a very beautiful fish, although the head, which is very broad and round, forms the greater half of its body. It was about a yard in length, with a most capacious pair of jaws, and two rows of shark's teeth; beneath its two side fins it has a pair of five-fingered and webbed - paws, with which it forced itself along the mud for 20 yards. It was forwarded to Leeds last Monday.—Eastern Counties Herald. THE CHUSAN FEVER.—Some account of the Chusan fever, as I have heard it described by Mr. Wrightson, and other gentlemen who have had these cases under their care, will probably be interesting, both from the peculiarity of its features, and from the fearful ravages which it has made among some of our corps, es pecially the Camerouians The disease usually com mences with an attack of fever, which is followed-by dy sentery, sometimes of a pretty acute character: To this usually succeed a chronic diarrhoea, and a general wast ing away of the system, to which we may add occasional anasarca and ascites. The tongue assumes a morbidly red appearance, looking as if the epithelium had been removed ; yet the appetite remains good. From this , condition the patient rarely ever rallies, an in crease of diarrhoea supervenes, and he is carried off in a few days. The post-mortem appearances are the stomach and intestines pale and shrivelled, not ulcerated (though some think they have de tected slight abrasions near theyyloric orifice) ; the liver and spleen are generally enlarged, soft, and,gorged ; and what appears to be most characteristic of this disease, the mesenteric glands are enlarged to the size of beans, and full of concretions : so that mesenteric obstruction, and consequent atrophy, would almost seem to be the cause of death. The systems and appearances above de tailed were common to the Europeans, and to the Ben gal volunteers ; and it is a melancholy fact, that scarcely a man of the invalids who have returned to this country is likely to recover. No very satisfactory reasons have hitherto been assigned for the origin of this disease, al thbugh the report of the superintending surgeon of the expedition may, when published. throw some light on the subject.—Correspondent of the Medical Gazette.

Bentley, Liind)ii; T 841: "The following stories," sa3'6 iltsc Go're; who has undertaken the task of editing tht present volumes, " are derived from one of the most popular, and decidedly the most original, of modern F i 1 ovelists,_ and might have been aptly named, The iTeffell painted by them selves.' " Such a name would indeed 1.14ve been the most appropriate that could have beet! 60. leeted, for the tales—with the single exception of the H Goldsmith's Wife," whose scene is laid in Spain—are all illustatilt of the manners, habits, and feelings of Modern }ranee, which are delineated with great apparent truth, and easy freedom of touch. The principal story in the Ci.illeetlonj entitled "The Lover and the Husband," is a sad tragedy of domestic life, and inculcates—which is seldom the ease with mo dcrn French fiction—a stern, but salutary moral. Madame de Bergenheim, the heroine, is a young and susceptible Frenchwoman, married at an early age to the Baron of that name , a bold, sporting sort or fifovincial Squire, whom she re spects but cannot love. Shortly after their mar riage, she meets in Parisian society with Viscount Gerfaut, a celebrated author, with whose refined iiianflas and conversation she is greatly captiva ted. He is equally striiCl with her personal and mental attractions ; and as a young Parisian roue is never happy without an intrigue, he manages to ingratiate himself with the lady's husband, who iiivan him to his castle, in one of the more remote provinces of France. Here the literary • Viscount improves his opportunities so well, that his host's wife now avows her deep affection for him, kid the parties have several clandestine meetings, in one of which they are discovered hy'the Baron de Bergenheim, who instantly challetigea the Viscount. The parties meet at the outskirts cf a Wood, where a boar-hunt is going forward, and the husband falls by his ad versary's fire, and is brought in dying to his repentant wife, who, in a paroxysm of madn ess, fling§ ho'se.if into the river that flows at the base of the castle. There is nothing very novel in these incidents, but they are put together with tact, and some of the dialogues possess uncom• tfidn force. The sketches,. too,' throughout, of French proifinCial life, are admirable. IN PRANCE. 2 Vols.

Her Lady= ship chanced to be in Paris during this stirring period, and has recorded her personal experiences in a lively, graphic spirit, though she communi cates little in the way of anecdotes of the chief actors in the outbreak, that has not already found its way into print.

" The countenance of Monsieur Thiers is remarkable. The eyes, even through his spectacles, flash with intelli gence, and the expression of his face varies with every sentiment he utters. Thiers is a man to effect a revolu tion, and Mignet would be the historian to narrate it. " There is sOmething very interesting in the unbroken friendship of these two men of genius, and its cdristafity elevates both in my . estimation. They are not more un like than are their respective works, both of which, though so dissimilar, are admirable in their way. The mobility and extreme excitability of the French, render filth min ria Mensieiir,Thiers extremely dangerous to monarchical power.

GREAT MEETING OF THE TORIES. A great meeting of the " Friends of Liberty " held yesterday at eight o'clock in the afternoon, at Calo= bell and Hamilton's Committee-room, hi the roat and Boots Beer-shop, Brook-street, Newqoad, Tho meet= ing was contened by an adveetiSeMeht troni the Com mittee of Sir jame,4s - Hamilton and Mr. Cabbell, and at the time appointed for taking the chair the room was filled by a large number of electors, perhaps the most respectable in the borough. Some delay having occurred in the naming of a chairman by those who had called the meeting together, an elector proposed that Mr. Langdon Haydon, a well-known and proved Reformer, should take the chair. The resolution having been gecondect i wits tarried by acclamation, Mr. E. JOSRPH theft came forward, and moved a re solution to the effect, that " this meeting, feeling that the 'benefits of the community at large is best consulted by the destruction of all monopolies, more especially that odious one of the bread tax, and to secure thovote by ballot, and an extension of the franchise, do resolve that Sir B. Hall, and Sir C. Napier, having unequivo cally declared their sentiments upon these most impor tant subjects, are worthy of the support of the meeting, who do pledge themselves to use their utmost exertions to return them to Parliament as the representatives of Marylebone." Mr. THOMPSON seconded the resolution, which was carried with only three dissentients. Mr. ALLEN then moved a vote of thanks to the Chair man, and in doing so enlarged at great length, and amidst much applause, upon the pernicious native of' mo nopolies, and the hypocrisy of the Tories, who main tained those abuses, and pretended at the same time to be the friends of the destitute and of the public at large. . The vote of thanks to the Chairman (Mr. Haydon) was carried unanimously. The meeting then separated with loud and laughing expressions of surprise that the Tories could have had the hardihood to call {Rich ti meeting, and expose them selves to so complete and ludicrous a defeat. On Wednesday week a weaver named Robert Burnet, twenty-nine years of age, put a period to his existence by hanging himself in his mother's garret. He took his breakfast about half-past nine as usual, when' he immediately retired, taking with him the key of the garret, no doubt with the express intention of effecting his awful design. He was,first observed by his mother and sister, about two hours after, when they immediately 'gaVe the alarm. So determined had he been in accom plishing his rash purpose, that he was found almost lying on the floor. He had been observed to be in a depressed state of mind for some time past. Medical aid was im mediately had recourse to, with the view of restoring animation ; but the vital spark had for ever fled. — Dundee Chronicle. The Organe des Flandres gives the following imecdote which, by the way, will be recognised as an old acquaintance :—" A medical student, the other day, was asked by one of the examiners as to the various means he would employ to induce perspiration in a pa tient that needed it. The candidate for the honour of bleeding and blistering according to law, mentioned se veral methods to be employed on such an occasion, till at length, his memory failing him, he could proceed no farther ; when he was so closely pressed with questions on the same subject, that the youth at length exclaimed, " Gentlemen, if I had to sweat a patient, I should send him before you !" All gravity was now at an end, and the candidate was admitted without a dissenting voice. JONATHANISMS, FRESH AS IMPORTED.— " This is a dark subject," as the student said when U was dissecting the body of a negro. " I'm blessed if I do," as the girl said when her lover asked her to marry him. " Much remains unsung," as the torn cat remarked to the brick-bat when it abruptly cut short his serenade.

THE GOLDEN GoosE.—That old age is not always accompanied with a proportionate amount of wis dom is a fact which is placed beyond all doubt by the following instance of gullibility. One day left week a decrepit old farmer, 70 years of age, of Bradworthy, on -whom Providence had bestowed much more money than wit, was bamboozled by a gang of gypsies into the helief that his age and infirmities were the result of the mali cious influence of a witch; and persuaded him to advance them 53L, which would dispel the • web of enchantment which entwined his existence, and restore him to the health and vigour of the comely age of 24. The offer was eagerly accepted; the farmer retired to his bed, and dreamt that the much-desired metamorphosis was already accomplished; when, lo! on waking in the morning, " a change came o'er the spirit of his dream"—old Farmer Osborne was old as ever, and 53L poorer, his riches hav ing " taken to themselves wings and flown away," with th — e gypsies !—Western Times. THE BALLOT IN THE STATE OF NEW YOREI.—" In all the instances that I witnessed of the business of polling—and I visited many of the wards for that purpose—the whole affair was conducted with much more order and decorum than any contested election that I had ever seen in England. There were no party badges, in colours or ribbons, to excite party animosity. There was no drunkenness, riot, or abuse of any kind. Every man came freely to the poll, and went away as free ly from it; and though, in the greatest number of cases, it was well known which way he would vote when he en tered, and which way he had voted when he left, none offered him the slightest molestation in word or deed ; or even in gesture. In some of the wards where the emigrants abound, it is said that this order and de corum does not always prevail ; but that between Itith excitability and American rum and whisky, there are sometimes torn garments and hard words exchanged ; but even here, violent outrage is seldom committed. It is possible, therefore, that universal suffr,age, annual elec tions, and vote by ballot, may be much less productive of riot, drunkenness, and disorder, than limited suffrage, unfrequent elections, and open voting ; for in ttiglantl i Scotland, and Ireland, where these prevail, the scenes of dissipation and outrage are frequent; and here, where these opposites are practised, they are rare."=---4lkikthig ham. On another occasion, Mr. Bueltinisillam observes, ` the freedom of election is so perfect, that, though 40,000 voters were polled in three days, not the least in• terruption had taken place, aDA no jeopardy bt life or limb had been incurred by those Tithing the MATERNAL .. / .'4FFECTION IN A lAttutk.- , - , On Thursday afternoon, a policeman and 3 4 .11 W tlttibls stand ing near to the Orange Tree kblit.house, in St. Nicholas square, in this city, iretited a cow, which they supposed belonged to a farmer whose team stood at the door.

Shortly after, a young comittymaii rode up in search, and it was ascertained that the pride animal, whose calf had been sold from her on the day before, had travelled from the country, a distance of twelve miles, to the very spot where the separation took place, the further search was doubtless in the direction of the journey taken by the purchaser of her oirsprinic, towards whose residence the young farmer pursued his way.—Hereford Times.

At half-past eight o'clock in the morning the first was born, a second at a quarter past nine, and a third at twenty minutes past eleven. In case the leopardess might have been incapa citated from suckling her offspring, a bitch was in readi ness for the purpose, to which the cubs were successively applied, one being, however, always left with the mother. But in the course of Sunday evening it was ascertained that the leopardess was both able and inclined for her own proper task, and the cubs were all placed under her charge. They continue quite healthy and thriving, and although this is the first instance of a leopardess in this country suckling her own cubs, it promises to be at tended with complete success.

SOUTHWARK CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Friday evening, be tween the hours of six and seven o'clock, the inhabitants of Old Bond-street and the neighbouring vicinity were thrown into the utmost alarm, in consequence of a tre mendous explosion similar to a discharge of cannon, which was ascertained to proceed from the extensive ma nufactory of Eley and Company, cartridge and -ercus sicth cap manufacturers, of Emmet's-mews, Old Bond street. A vast number of persons immediately pro ceeded to the premises, accompanied by a number of the police on duty near the spot, when they found that great destruction had taken place. The consternation of those engaged in the concern was so great, that at first little could be collected from them ; but after the first confu sion every effort was made to ascertain • whether any parties had perished, and also the extent of da ma g e. It was very shortly discovered' that Mr. Eley; the pro prietor of the manufactory, and who carries on his busi ness in St. James's, at the corner of Jermyn-street, had perished, On search being made, through the dilapidated premises, he was discovered stretched on the floor of the counting-house, a frightful spectacle t o behold. He was surrounded by a quantity of dark coloured blood. His left arm and hand were blown off, his right thiP was nearly severed, both his feet were_ blown to atoms, his person in other respects was mutilated and blackened, 'and scareely, a remnant of his apparel was left abolit him. An inquest was held on the 'body on Saturday before Mr. Gell, the Coroner for 'Westminster. After the Jury had viewed the body of the deceased, the fol lowing evidence was produced :—Mr. Charles Eley, of Cheshnnt, said that deceased was in the habit of using detonating or fulminating mercury, a composition of a most combustible and dangerous nature. He had no doubt the deceased was stirring the composition when it exploded. Mr. —, a solicitor, of Regent-street, stated on behalf of Mr. Emmet, the proprietor of the premises, that he had not been aware of any combustible matter being used by the deceased, that had the fact been known to the neighbours, the unfortunate deceased would have been indicted. Ann Stubbins, servant to the deceased, stated' that the whole of the partition and roof of the room in which the composition was made had been more or less Carried away and injured, and all th e windows destroyed. Joseph Long and James Price, both in the deceased's employ, stated that the detonating mercury was obtained at Mr. Diamond's on Holborn-hill. After the other evidence had been heard, the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." The d ecea sed, who has left a large family, wa s much respected. A SEASONABLE ADDRESS.—Mr. Fryer, sen., the ex-Member for Wolverhampton, has afforded the assistance of his good counsel at the onset, in the present instance, as will be perceived by the following address : —" To my honest and industrious Workmen at Pelsall Wood Colliery and Iron-works. It is the duty as well as the interest of every master to do justice to his work men—to live in friendship with them, and especially to use his best endeavours, unceasingly and unremittingly, to obtain the repeal of the unjust and un-Christian Corn law, which robs them , their wives, and children, of a large portion of their daily bread, and also limits and - restricts the demand for their labour. The Americans have, at this time, at Liverpool, flour at 6s. 6d. per bushel, to exchange for our manufactures,while you are compelled to pay for our home produce 10s. per bushel. The "Cornrlaw prevents this exchange. This law was made by the Dukes, Lords, and Esquires (our law-makers), to enhance the price of the produce of their land, by cutting off the trade of our manufacturers, which was formerly held with the foreign corn growers, and thereby increising bread the aun t all other of their land. If this Corn -law continue, food will become dearer, and rents will rise, but your wages will not ; those depend upon the price of our ma nufactures abroad. Unless this Corn-law be totally repealed, the labourers, both in agriculture and manu factures, can have no permanent relief. The people— I mean the ten-pounders and freemen who have votes— may, if they please, send to Parliament a majority which could command a"repeal of the Bread tax and all other unjust laws; but, like base knaves, fit only for slaves, many of them sell their votes to their tyrants and oppressors for a paltry piece of silver. Has it been done at Walsall, or will it be done? If the workmen were but united, no one among them need to far the threat of his master. A master who attempted to compel a workman to vote against his conscience, would be fol lowed by the scoffs, scorn, hatred, and indignation of all honest men.

The High Bailiff, John Holmes, Esq., having fixed }'cater day for the election of t ivo Members to serve in Parliament for the Borough, the electors met in the Town Hall at ten o'clock. The Act of Bribery having been read, and the High Bailiff having been sworn, Mr. MAYHEW came forward to propose the re-election of Mr. Alderman Humphery. He considered it of the utmost importance that on the present occasion they should return men to Parliament who were well acquainted with the com mercial and trading interests of the country, therefore he had great pleasure in nominating his friend, the friend of the Bo rough, to serve them in Parliameut for the fourth time.— ( Cheers.) The worthy Alderman had been already returned by them now three times, and he sought the honour a fourth time, and he was quite sure they could not do better than return their old ant tried friend.—(Hear, hear.) On such an occasion as the present, it was essential and highly important that they should send to the House a friend of the people, and they could not find a more warm-hearted one than the worthy Alderman ; his vote had always been in favour of free trade, and the education of the people, two of the most important questions which could be brought before the Legislature.—( Cheers. ) He felt great difficulty in the present instance, for he was totally unaccustomed to address a public meeting, but he had come forward because he thought that upon such an occasion all should bestir themselves, and he hoped they would again return the worthy Alderman, who would again maintain the same principles which he always acted upon. He u ould vote for the education of the people, which was virulently opposed by the Tories, because they we're well aware that it would destroy them—ignorance was the great bulwark of the Tories. He hoped soon to see a large extension of the franchise—(Cheers) —the time must soon come for such a measur e—the people were ready for it , and if they sent the Hon. and worthy Alderman to represent them, he would do all in his power to obtain it for them.

Let them put on the solemn frown of Englishmen, and show that they were determined to have free trade, and nothing could oppose them.—( Hein ) Let the et:Witty respond to the call of the Queen, as well as that borough, and the measures of the Government, which were calculated to be of so much benefit to the country, would be sure to be carried in a triumphant manner. The Queen was with. the people—(Cheers)—let the people be with the Queen, and he if6uldfepl satisfied that her Majesty's gracious inten tions would be hitt reotised in the happiness of her people.— ( Cheers.) Mr. Aldermen Hamphe ry was an old and tried friend, arid lie had much pleasure iii is 'urinating him as a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Seirthwark in the ensuing Parliament.—(Loud °lacers.) Mt. Cildren - said he came forward with much pieestere to second the nornieration of the worthy Alderman. He war one of those who had eoteited him to become a candidate upon Ms first appearance, and he was happy to say that although that was nine years ago, the worthy Alderman appeared before them unchanged.—(Loud cheers.) He had never given a single vote against the liberty of the subject.—(Cheers. ) When a man had been so tried as the worthy Alderman, they had only to look at the past circumstances in order to augur well for the ftitote. They were all desirous of giving full employment to the community, end sufficient food for that employment for a man and his family.— (Cheer& ) If so they would all join heartily in doing all in their power to send men to Parliament who would give a hearty support to the healing measures of the Government, so that her Majesty might have the happiness of living in the midst of a free, happy, well-fed and loyal reoyle. He hoped that information would be coneeyed to her Majesty thdt the herough of Southwark was the first to respond to her most gracioiis ettll.4 Cheers.) He bad great pleasure in se conding the nomination Of the worthy Alderman.—(Cheers.) Mr. LONGIIORE had groat ststisfaetton in proposinff o the re election of Mr. Benjamin Wood.—(Loud cheers.) He hoped they would permit him to make a few prefatory remarks as to the necessity which had occurred tette this general election. He felt convinced that they thirst all feel that for some years past the cause of Reform had not progressed as they had had a right to expect.— (Cheers.) One of the strongest reasons perhaps which could be given for this occurrence was the immense power of the Tory phalanx which had been returned to the House of Com mons by the landholders. It was true the Ministers had too I much feared the power of this Tory phalanx, and had ?laced too little reliance on the people, who had always been ready to support them—(Loud cheering)—although they might have had evidence of the power of the people at the passing of the Reform Bill. (Loud cheers.) That Bill would rover have passed the House of Peers had not the voice of the people thundered in their ears, and convinced ,them that the Vox Populi was indeed Vox Dei. The Peers had heard that voice, trembled and obeyed. Her Majesty's Ministers had, however, came forward at last, and proposed measures calculated to meet the wants and wishes of the country, to un fetter our industry, and to lessen our prosperity.—(Load cheers.) At the very time they brought forward these mea sures, so well calculated to restore to them that favour from the people which they had nearly lost, the Tories, aided by the in terested monopolists, came down with a vote of No corifidence— (Cries of " Shame")—at the very time they were gaining the confidence of the people they were losing the confidence of the House of Commons ; and why ? Because it was composed principally of landowners. It had been said that it mattered little who was in place, because these great measures must pass whoever might be in power. It might be so. He knew well that S:r Robert Peel was thoroughly embued with the doctrine of expediency—(Cheers and laughter)—and the Duke of Wellington, whom ha honoured for the services he had done the country, had in politics shown himself a perfect Xenophon at retreat.—(Loud cheers.) The great measure of a repeal of the Corn-laws must pass.—( Cheers. ) There could be no doubt of that—( Loud cheers)—but would they suffer Sir Robert Peel to pass it? (No, no.) When they had ploughed the field and sowed the seed, would they suffer him to come with the sickle of expediency, and reap the harvest? No.—( Loud cheers, and cries of "Never.") No they would do it without him, and in spite of him.—(Loth cheers, and cries of "We will.") The cry had gone forth. Englishmen, up and be doing. The Philistines be upon ye, and Sampson had burst his bonds. So would Englishmen burst the fetters which bound them, and be in reality what they had long been in name—free men. He was happy to say that in Southwark there was no opposition.—( A voice in the crowd, " Walter is coming," followed by a burst of laughter.) Some one had menlioned Mr. Walter ;he (Mr. Longmore) would venture to prophesy that he would not appear in Southwark again—(Chcers)—and that he would not again be carried into the House of Commons, for Nott:ngham.— (Loud cheers.) Eighteen months ago he had proposed Mr. Benjamin Wood as a candidate for their suffrages.—( Cheers. ) They had not as yet had a great deal of experience of him— ( Cries of We know him well")—but they had had a suffi cient specimen of his quality.—(Cheers.) Like his own hops the small sample they had had of him would enable them to judge of the bulk.—( Cheers and lalighter. ) He had watched his conduct in the House of Commons and had always found him there, and always found him voting on the right side. (Loud cheers.) Not always voting with the Ministers, but always on the side of the people.—(Loud cheers.) He thought therefore, he was fully justified in again hinging Mr. Benjamin Wood under their notice , and in recommendi ng him as a fit and proper representative to serve them and his country in the ) the opportunity afforded enAs t i i r n . g A P . a p rl E ia L m L e A n l t T .— w ( a L s og a c s lzer a s t . him of seconding the nomination of their valued He butß. f \ e 'V r o a o `good.—(Loud r ( t L t o i u m d e ; ch b e u e t r cheers.) esteemed had an been tried, had ( _ proved himself a fi ni rti o we s na t ds l Ar e ni c re tive Member of Parliament.--(Lo u d Liiud cheers.)

They wanted not only m uf a h n is of c e u x u p n e t r r iene w e, h b o u c t o zi d e trace the causes of our present d Y egraded condit y io i n ; for he would contend that it w as a d egra d e d con dition for a commer cial nation to be placed in, when walls were raised around it to prevent its trading with other countries, when it was stockaded in, as it were, with restrictions and prohibitions. Unless these prohibitions and restrictions were removed, we might as well cease to exist—(Cheers)—for the human body could exist without bread as well as England without commerce ; and if these restrictions were nny longer continued, he feared the re sult to the commerce of England must be fatal. What wasitjthat had caused the revolution in France—that terrible convulsion which had destroyed the whole of the nobility, and driven them into exile in this country, which had changed the proprietor ship in all the lands of that kingdom, and had uprooted the clergy out of France? It was class protection.—( Loud cheers. ) It was that very system which was now being pursued by the Tories—(Cheers) —that a certain class should be protected, and that those who were incapa citated from protecting them selves should be allowed to perish for want of food.—(Cheers.) Paley htd said that nothing ought to be made exclusive pro perty which could be conveniently enjoyed in common. ow, all three of the articles which had been the objects of the late Ministerial measures, might conveniently be enjoyed in com mon. Sugar should b e as cheap, corn tishould be as cheap, and as sh in ut ot o h n e t r n f a r t o i m ons a . m Tn o b r e e r w s h a s o should o r b e e as a s o n cheap wh y Ei in g E I a u n g d l a s n h d o a t w e r e not so shut out , wit h the advanta g es participation in t hose advantages which other countries en joyed, and if she, we d h she possessed in h e r coals, an t she e superior not ener f e3 gy and industry of her inhabitants, need r acem on with ths world.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) One greatsevommendation of Mr. B. Wood was, that he (Mr. Pellatt) felt convinced that if that Hon. Gentleman saw the going down, he would be satisfied to save the ship and vessel of the State ovoiloaded by class protectiun, and in dan ger of crew by throning the class p rotection overboard. 'I hey had heard a greatdeal of the sufferings which the landholders would haVoto undergo if these class protections were removed.

He had great pleasure in seconding the nomination.—(Loud cheers. ) The Ilion BAILIFF then asked if any elector wished to pro pose any other candidate, and receiving no answer, he proposed consecutively the names of Mr. Alderman Humphery, and Mr. B. Wood, and took the show of hands on each. Every elector present held up his hand in favour of each of the two gentleman, and, after waiting a short time, the High Sheriff declared Mr. Alderman Humphery and Mr. Benjamin Wood duly returned to serve in the ensuing Parliament for the borough of Southwark. The announcement was received with the mast enthusiastic cheering from all parts of the Hall. Mr. VOUSELEY put it to the High Bailiff whether, for the purpose of securing the regularity of their proceedings, he should not have waited for an hour, after putting the question whether there was any other candidate, before he declared Mr. Alderman Humphery and Mr. Wood Members for the borough.—(Cries of " No, no.") The objection was not further noticed. Mr. Alderman BUMPIIE ar then came forward amidst loud and repeated cheers, to address the meeting. He hardly knew how to give expression to the feelings which animated him, for that renewed mark of their confidence.—(Cheers.) When he reflected that after a connection of nine years between biro and his friends around him, they had again placed the same trust as before in him, no anguage could express his grati tusle. He would go to Parliament with a determination not to represent his own interests but theirs.—(('heers.) It was clear that every elector could not be personally repre sented in the Council of the nation, and he believed that in the present instance the electors of the borough of Southwark had confided the duty of representing them to h;neself and his hon. colleague, merely because they held their meal opinions. —( Hear, hear.) He should like to say a word or two upon those questions which brought them there that day'. The Government had of late felt that the taxes now levied upon the country were inadequate to its expenses, and when the Chancellor of the Exchequer had introduced his budget, the' greatest anxiety was felt as to the means by which he pro posed to increase the revenue. The Ministry had announced upon that occasion their determination not to add to the as sessed taxes, which had already been raised 10 per cent., or to add to the direct burdens of the country. They proposed, however, that foreign sugar should be introduced into this country. not in such a way as to annihilate the West India interest, for an increased 'duty of 50 per cent. was to be imposed upon foreign sugar. The community at large would by that means, he believed, be enabled to purchase sugar at 2d. a-pound less than at present. They were also to have cheaper timber. It was said that they had now cheap timber from Canada ; now, for his part, he had never used that timber, and he never should, for be found that it lasted only from twenty to thirty years, when it became unfit in the building of houses. He always used Baltic timber, and the Govern ment proposed ro reduce the duty upon that timber. The motion was immediately opposed. Next came the great ques tion of the_ Corn-laws. '1 he Ministry found that we Lad, during the last year, imported nearly 3,000,000 of quarters of foreign corn, the greater part of which was admitted at a duty of Is. They were anxious that wheat should he introduced at a duty of Bs. per quarter, which they thought would be a fair and moderate arrangement. For his part he was opposed to any duty at all; but it was supposed that a proposal to that effect would have raised too great an opposition. The land holders of the House took the alarm at the Miniiterial mea sure, and upon their entire policy the Government had three influential bodies opposed to them—they had the We.t India proprietor;, and the shipowners and the landowners. These parties combined together, and called upon Sir R. Peel • and he (Mr. Humphery) believed much against his will, and, prevailed upon the Right Hon. Baronet tobring forward a pro position which vrouldprevent the dgcussion of the Ministerial musty es. Sir Robert Peel accordingly brought forward his no-confidence motion fur the purpose of suppreeeing discussion, because discussion was really valuable and c ilculated to en itle-hten the public mind. Sir Robert Peel said in effect that o f t t ong :: the Government might dissolve the Parliament, the coun try shoda _not uncle' stand what they meant.—( Hear, hear.) of the motion, and upon that motion the op- That was the a 4r ift, pesition succeeders : for unfortunately there were gentlemen in the House, w h o , „i t h,,igh returned by liberal constituencies , thought proper not to yea.: at all.—(Cries of " Shame.") The GoNernment was thus cossepe2e4 to dissolve the late House of Commons for the purpose of eali;elete another ; and they had that dmtobly 2!erponded to the call, ancilie hoped the constituencies threttgbotet the empire would imitate their example.—( Hear, hear.) With respect to the Corn-lase he felt that he knew something, althosigh he was not acquainted with all the bear ings of the subj:efe Wheat could not3ow be exlinitted into this country until the averages reached 72e. per quarter, which would make the price of the quartern loaf amount to about 10d. Wheat was then introduced at a duty of one shillintr. But the average wst-got by reckoning the prices paid in varioos parts of the kingdom; eiy that the 'nice of good wheat should bc' raised to at least 90s. pow porter before foreign wheat was admieled at the shilling duty. New was that? There was no part of this country in which there were not bad lands, and bad wheat sold. at a comparatiyely low price; so that in order to make up the average of 72i , the good wheat ;should be sold at 905., or even . IOOs . tphee r ycould have g q u arter lt wasutherfoar; amptebrfetbctefacibladelyintgo dsuutpypofose houees that r 725. per quarter.

Under this state of things tie corn merchants could never furnish the people with new and wholesome wheat at a low price. —(Hear, hers. y Much had been said of the pruden c e of Sir Robert Peel. Ike Right Hot.. Baronet was no doubt a men of great dexterit Ff os had been stated by Lord Stanley u p on the occasion of a late divi sion in the house of Commons upon a Railway Bill. .17 , 0 rd Stanley, who was opposed to the Right Hon. Baroeset upon the subject, and who was never every well tempered man, said, that there was no man in that House who could cress up a statement so dexterously as his:Right Hon. Friend. Now, if that were the case, might it not be supposed that S r R. Peel would use the same address upon subjects on which the Tory party were agreed' Wien the Government proposed. to equalise the duty upon East Indian and West Indian Rum, ' Lord Stanley, with a large portion of his party, opposed the motion, but the speech of Sir Robert Peel upon that occasion d e served as attentive consideration. He said that he held no preperer either in the East Indies or in the West Indies, and, therefore, he had no interest or feeling. but for the consumer. Now, what cotdid be better than that? Upon that occasion the Bill was carried. But what would Sir It. Peel say upon the. Corn-law question? Would he say tha t he held p ro p erty, and that he would therefore eapport the Corn-laws ? But then he could not consult for the interest of the consumer merely be cause it interfered with his own. Upon all those questions he (Mr. Aldeimau Humphrey) felt the deepest interest; he was enxious that every man in the country should have enough to eat, and abundance of work, and he would give him food at as cheap a rate as it could be obtained, nor would he support any measure by which the mass of the community could suffer. He might be told that by reducing the duty upon wheat to 85. a quarter they would reduce the landlords to beggary. It was said that most of the estates upon which corn was grown were mortgaged, and that if men who had 10,000 acres of land, with a festal of 10,0001., were obliged to pay 5,0001. a year in corn peupl e tv o h u e i t d ax th e d e n m l e e v a e v l y e m u ootrbtiguagg fore s, athreemdusctelivoens. Butintieine d of l because certain landlords or their g randfathers thought fit ter squander their estates? —(Hear hear.) Ile had been told that should the the landlords were to spend 1,000,0001. of money npon the present election', they would, if they could thereby secure a majority of 100 members in the ensuing Parliament, save to themselves 10,000,0001. by staving off the evil day. At al .events, be could say that in that borough the electors i.ad shown themselves, and he was sure the Government and the country would acknowledge it, they had shown themselves noble men.—( Laughter and cheers.) He said that because he felt anung them, and that no money could p urchase their votes.. that opposition to the Liber al candidates would be useless They had that day returned two men who would support the commercial measures of the Government, and answer the ex pectations of the Queen. Her Majes t y had called upon her people to enable her to provide for the expenses of her Govern ment in the manner least burthensome to the country, and they had realised her expectations. They would never find him acting in the House of Commons in a manner contrar They to the principles which he then professed.—(Che ers.) ment he would restore tbe trust which they had moment he felt that he had lost their confidence that fno hends.—(Cheers.) He had only in conclusion to thank them most heartily and candidly for the honour which they had done him that day.—( Loud and long-continued cheers.) Mr. Wool) was received with greet cheering. In the first place, he had to return thanks for the honour which they had placed in his e aece t reconferred upon him. It was only eighteen monthsar they had sent him to Parliament. They had directed only of principle'. They had long beep d of civil and religions; to be mindful of the politics of party orco.fvorneuetnec; ofuatutoiernithteintite' tension of the suffrage—of an extensiosno.. economy, and a liberty. Long had they been advocate 1 of free trade, and the re duction of taxation—long the friends of the community ;and well-being of the labouri •n Parliament—(Cheers) to carry them out in his place i The beneficent inten s he had endeavoured k — no to win t g h e that utmost e of f ere h is t heir po e ,u 1 s e nti men ts, as e s r e for a time—(u eers e said ) h public good, had been frustra ted . that ultimately those princi for a time, because he felt certain try could not exist as a pros tions of the Government —the measur.es they p roposed b for the lees must triumph, for the country °laical sense, had combined opponents of the Ministry, in a p for lasses the purpose of over with the monopolists of all :c . ~_ or tnew own purposes.

They had show or the country woul d no t . be crushed hunters. He ask ed, was It Consistent with common sense that re . by monopolists or place _ i near neighbour should be able to purchase his sugar at 225. per cwt. while we were obliged to pay 60s. for it? Was it con sistent with common sense that we should be obliged to pay more • than double pric e for our corn?—(Cheers)—or that our neighbours might have the best timber at one-fifth of the price which we were obliged to pay for it ?—(Cheers. There was an increased price for all those articles, but that was not all— that was the smallest portion of the evil. Let them look at the manner in which trade was affected by these monopolies. It was a fact that we sent as many goods to Brazil as we sent to the whole of the West India Islands. Now suppose we were to take their sugar and coffee, how much might our exports be increased ? they would not, as now, be confined to 5,000,000, but might rise to ten, aye, fifteen millions ; in fact, if we were to takc their produce, who would put a limit to the trade ? (Cheers. ) The protection afforded to the West Indies, in fact, swallowed up the whole amount of 't he manufactured goods which we sent to them; in fact, to put the matte r in a plain point of view, this country actually ga ve them the whole of the manufactured goods they imported at present. Was this country to be kept in this trammelled state for ever ?—( Cries of " No, me.") They said it was an olds ountry, and that we were worn out. But how was this lt was because of the system of legislation which had been pursued— a system which tied up their hands, and prevented them from using the common and every-day means of prosperity placed in their power. We had a large debt. Now, he would ask, who contracted it? Why, the Tories,—the very men who refused now to give the country free trade. His Hon. Friend and Colleague had stated that the whole, of nearly the whole of the land was. mortgaged. That might be so ; but, he would ask, what right the Tories, when in power, had to mortgage the labour of the people ?--( Hear, hear.) He was no advocate for extinguishing the debt with a sponge ; there were thousands who were dependent upon the interest of the imstpocrokp, srhly ould n b tr e a w c i te pe d d , debt for the means of living; and he, for one, would never improperly c b o u n t s n en ot t that th t e phatartdebiest, nowml been hu ickhladdingthe out.
