EVENING EDITION applied to a new series of processes which had rendered the atoms of matter as obedient in the hands of the artist as t hey were formerly in the laboratory of Davy, when he devoted his gigantic energies to the study of chemical pKilosophy. Dr. Reid then concluded by tharadng tile audience for the patient attention which they had -given to his illustrations, stating that he would take an early opportunity of resuming them again, and ex pressing a hope that the time would not be long delayed when instruction in sciences would be introduced in all elementary schools, where the progress of science could not fail to advance with an accelerated pace in proportion to the number who de vote their attention to it, and perhaps develope new powers as interesting as those that had markod the introduction of gas, steam, the daguerreotype, the electrotype, and that innumerable host of discoveries that had characterised the present times. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY. The greater part of the day was occupied in the settle n-ent of the Ascot accounts, and with a discussion arising out of the resolution of the Jockey Club referred to by us yesterday, which resolution was posted in the " Sub acription Room" this day. On application to a Noble Lord, who was a loser to the defaulter, he refused to pay upon principle. The proceeding, he said, was without precedent, and unaccompanied by those assurances which would justify a belief that the account of the defaulter would, in reality, be settled either now or at any futur, time, and if the defaulter would come forward personally and settle his account, and pay and receive, pari pit ssu, his Lordship was ready and willing at once to pay over to him the sum which he had lost, but he could not r.•ecog nize the justice of a one-sided settlement in which all who were indebted should be called on to pay-at once, Wane those who were creditors might have to wait an indet;.nite period and depend on circumstances which might or Wight not have a favourable issue. It had been said of h;_m that he had originally refused to pay the defaulter, and had thereby driven him from the yard, whereas, in fact, no applica tion had been made to him, nor did he s,erive in the yard until long after the defaulter had retircii. After a good deal of argument, in which the Noble Lord contended that his refusal to pay did not arise from any disinclina tion to meet the demand against him., but from a desire to sustain the wholesome rule, " thst those who were un able to pay should not be permitted to receive ;" he de clared himself willing to ham)_ over the amount of his loss instanter, provided the assignees would give a guarantee that all the crvjitors should be paid in full. This was at first resisted, 1 - Jut finally the assignees signed the following undertakir.g We the undersigned guarantee that the account of Mr. shall be paid in full by the end of Houghton Meeting." Upon this document being placed in the hands of one of the Stewards of the Jockey Club, the Noble Lord referred to forthwith paid the sum claimed of him, and publicly expressed a hope that all other persons indebted to the defaulter would immediately follow his example. All he desired, he said, was to pre vent the establishment of a precedent which might here after lead to mischievous consequences. The confusion arising out of this unpleasant affair, in terfered so much with speculations on "coming events," that the only bets which came under our observation were the following : THE GOODWOOD CUP. 6 to 1 agst Mr. Ramsay's Lanercost—taken 20 to 1 agst Lord Eglinton's Galen—taken 20 to 1 agst Duke of Orlean's Nautilus—taken 20 to 1 agst Lord H.

Las , , evening this eelbrated French actress took her lbencnt at the Italian Opera- house, and performed for the last time this season in England. The house was 'crowded to excess. The tragedy of illaric Stuart, by M. I*l;nua, selected or the occasion, and admirably weir wae performed. We will net enter into the merits of 'se pi oce, beeause almost every part of it is at variant:! with instoricil facts ;nd erson acuainted with English hi s t or y could see it no pe p rformed without feeling great, regret that such a fine still - lea should have been so spoiled by the m os t i ncongruous and absurd in lademoiselle Rachel represented the ill tfitted Queen of Scotland. Madame Irma Laporte reprenaited Queen Elizabeth, and M. Laporte performed the part of Sir Amias Patilet. These parts were all well pertormA. Madame Laporte is an excellent actress, and 11/It6 surpassed only by the representative of Marie Stuart. ' M. Delholme (Sir Andrew Melville) also de serves great praise for the correct manner in which he represented the old and faithful counsellor of the Queen , of the Scots. The tragedy altogether had ample justice done to it, and the' only regret is that Madame Rachel did not :.elect for her benefit some of the fine old works of Cor tielile or Voltaire, in which historical facts and power nil description are combined. The applause during the performance was not enthusiastic, but this is to be attri buted to the defects of the piece, and not to the performers. At the fall of the curtain Madame Rachel was loudly called for, and on her appearance was greeted with great acclama tion. We may take this opportunity of noticing the admir able- arrangement at this theatre for the convenience of the public in general, and particularly for ladies. The Tit, of course, was crowded, and for some time ladies were obliged to stand in the passages, but they were not subjected to this inconvenience long. A gentleman connected with the establishment went round the pit . regularl-, and wh.,n centletnen were not sufficiently polite to give up their places to ladies, he found accommodation h in the boxes. 1% are happy to pay this tribute of prx,ise to the excellent management of M. Laporte. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR. The late alleged coalition between the Tory monopolists and the Chartists, seems to me such a mon strosity in politics, and so great a deviation from all the principles of common sense and self-preservation, that I cannot help expressing my astonishment at the folly of this deluded party. Through your honest and deservedly popular paper, I would ask them the following ques tions, viz. :-L'When a reportlately went the round of the monopolist press of a slight mitigation in the punish ment of Frost, Williams, and Jones, on their arrival at the penal settlement, did not the entire Tory press rise up, as one man, in gross and violent abuse of the Go vernment, as the instruments of this leniency ? Were they not charged as instigators and encouragers of sedi tion ? Did not Tory Members in both Houses of Par liament stand up in their places, and call the Ministers to a severe account as the " originators of a foul con spiracy against the peace and welfare of the country?" Was not the Government also charged as having con nived at, if not planned, the flaw in the legal proceed ings at Monmouth, by which their lives were saved ? And yet this hood-winked and misled men now come forward to support that party who would not be satisfied with anything less than the blood or the torture of their unfortunate leaders. Not finding these strong circumstances noticed in The Sun, or any other of the people's papers, I take the liberty of addressing you on the subject—trusting, that should you deem these remarks worthy of insertion, you will put them in a stronger and more efficient form to public view. I am, Sir, &c. AN (EVSTALMENT) CHARTIST AND ANTI-MONOPOLIST. [Our Correspondent is mistaken. The subject has been inserted in The Sun, but it is goof to bring it again before the public.] ------ NEW AND HORRIBLE ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE DUKE OF NORMAN DY, SECOND SON OF LOUIS XVI. AND MARIE ANTOINETTE, QUEEN OF FRANCE. About four weeks ago this unfortunate Prince was officially informed that his life was in danger ; but strong in his confi dence in the Almighty, he contented himself by replying that he would make intimation ofit to the police. According to his cus tom, he went to town upon the business of his new invention, and returned to his residence in the country, where for some time past he had established his laboratory or workshop, for the manufacture of certain military arms. We have already given accounts in our papers of the 4th, 1 1th, and 18th of April of his new and formidable projectile, submitted to the inspection of a committee of superior officers at Woolwich, at the same time specifying that the committee had sent to the Prince twelve thirty-two pounder bombs, and at his desire, another eighty-two pounder, that so, he might, on a large scale, exercise the full powers of his invention upon them. During the time that his Royal Highness was engaged in making the necessary preparations for this purpose, various agents, hired by the Prince's political enemies, and suitably disguised, after bribing the servants, fraudulently introduced themselves into his house while he was absent, though they but imperfectly succeeded in their diabolical project. The Prince always works secretly, and these wretches, having won over the fidelity of his domestic, found their way, by that means, into the laboratory. The Prince, on his re turn, discovered noshing, except noticing that a key, similar to his own, had been left in the house ; whereupon he repeated his severest injunctions against any person, on any pretext, being admitted into the house, and discharged forthwith the suspected servant. The day following, the Prince, having re turned from the city, to adjust a piece of mechanism for his preparative trial, was thus occupied, when fire (the prepared material of which had evidently been - conveyed into the room during his absence, and concealed in a heap of combustibles) suddenly blazed out from a corner of the apartment. In less than three seconds, the entire room was in flames; unfortu nately he had left, near the window, a small barrel fall of inflammable ingredients, an t which formed a component of his Royal Highness's invention. The Prince, terrified at danger so imminent, sprang into the midst of the fire to snatch away the barrel that he might hurl it through the window ; but at this moment, the stuff it contained ignited, and the explosion was inevitable. Although the barrel was already lifted to the window, by which alone the explosion became less perilous, the Prince's face was dreadfully burnt, his left hand cruelly injured, and almost shattered, and his right terribly burnt. The Prince then beheld himself surrounded by flames, through which he was compelled to rush to make his escape by the door; scarcely, however, was he out of danger when he remembered that, in the same room, in a corner to the right, he had left the machine destined to be tried at Woolwich, which was his only hope, and on which he had sacrificed his last resources. Seizing water in haste, he threw himself anew into the flames, fighting against them, and an almost certain death, with the courage of a lion. His shirt caught fire and scorched and lacerated his body. By means of two other measures of water, he at last succeeded in extin guishing the fire, unaided by any other person. The Prince has made a representation to the police, and furnished them with such necessary clues as shall lead to the discovery of the authors of this atrocious act. Justice awaits them —her eye is already upon certain individuals known to have been, on more occasions than one, guilty of other conspiracies against the unfortunate son of Louis XVI. Let us hope that this time the criminals, whosoever they may be, will not escape the im partial justice of our country. —EITH.TAKING THE CENSUS.—III several of the localities in a town like Leith, it was expected that considerable opposition would be offered to the enumerators in taking up the census. This has turned out the reverse •, every facility, as far as we observed, or have learned, has been given, although some strange notions were entertained as to the meaning or object of the returns. " Eh! sir," exclaimed a uce-looking David Deans, " what did David mak' by numbering the people ?—and didna ye bring the ctiolera on us the last time it was done among ourselves ?" " This will be some of the Queen's nonsense, nae," said an old woman, herself well numbered in years ; " I thou„-ht that, no w th at she has got a bairn to nurse, she wad Tae had something else to do than read ower folks' names wi' their ages ! but some folk has an unto deal o' curiosity !" "Is this about the Corn Bill ?" inquired a third ; "if it will only gie us cheap meal, I'se no only gie my ain name and age, but that o' my cousin and a' her family that's awa to One Demon's Land, as weil as that o' our Jock that's awa to the West Ingies !" "An other," unconscious of the pun, " declared that this po pulation business was enough to put folk out o' their senses !" It will naturally be supposed that unmarried females of a certain age would wish to take advantage of the " five years'" dis count allowed—but human nature is the same at all stages of life—many a wrinkled dame appeared not only pleased to be supposed younger than she rea ll y was, but actually prigged a few years under ; as if the fact of being put down s will wouldo number them cheatthef e e m ll w tyrant,iththothoaltodisn ofa few years, at most, the valley. Poor frail humanity ! It is p ar d ona bl e after all to sometimes not look the enemy i n th e f ace ; for noon tm one as when sCbarltehsey shall b Lamb says, n ys, o likes to dwell much the upon Oh ! this were a bright world, Most pleasant and gay, Did love never languish, Nor friendship decay. .Scotsman. BAD LA W.—lt is strictly demonstrable that the causes which have continually crushed the energies of industry have been legislation. The sacrifice of human labour entailed upon this country by the corn and colonial monopolies, and on restrictive commercial law, amount to nearly one-third of the value of all the ex changeable commodities produced annually in the United Kingdom. Remember that more than 1,200,000,000/. of the produce of this country went to purchase human bones to fertilize the soil of Europe during the conti nental war ; and though the actual amount was never paid, three-fourths of it was positively consumed—and Rosterity has been made debtors for the remainder,— Pau/eon's Lectures. bell (Leffid*.is an old purit a nic a l i nn k eeper at Dover ; fo which place they embark, in order to introduce Marcel to his uncle--from whom thei.ex pect to inherit the inn. On their arrival they find that the supposed Queen and her suite have taken up their abode at the inn. Trumbell at first sends information to the the Sheriff, but finding the Nobility flock in to pay their respects, he thinks it to his interest to become a Royalist, waxes zealous in the Royalist cause, kisses the Queen's hand, believes himself ennobled thereby, and says that Marcel is no longer worthy of an alli ance with his family. Francine, hearing the name of Marcel turns all of a sudden fearful that he should marry Simonne, and is with great difficulty re strained by the Count from at once abdicating. She retires, and Marcel, who has been des patched to endeavour to regain Trumbell's letter to the Sheriff, returns, and is posted as sentinel at the door of the royal chamber. Francine enters, and Marcel recognises the features as those of Fran cine, but yet is restrained by his fear lest it might be the Queen. Francine, after enjoying his embar rassment some time, at length makes herself known, but just at that instant the Cromwellian authorities enter, and the whole party are carried to Dover Castle under arrest. Trumbell once more becomes the strict Puritan, and Francine, to her great horror, overhears a party of drunken soldiers discussing the propriety of shooting her at once. Marcel, however, makes his way into her dungeon, with a disguise, for the purpose of enabling her to make her escape, when the success of Monk and the landing of Charles render all further dis guise unnecessary, and the Queen of a Day and her lover are handsomely provided for by the grati tude of the restored Monarch. Here are two grand historical mistakes. In the first place, Charles was not married at the time of his restoration, and in the next place the gratitude of the Merry Monarch was even more than problematical. These liberties, however, are allowable whenever the author, as in the present instance, atones for them by presenting us with an interestingplot. The music is of a very brilliant character, combining sweetness with science. Some of the melodies are ex quisitely beautiful ; such, for instance, as the rondeau, Wealth to win," in the second act, which was most tastefully sung by Wilson, and deservedly encored. In the higher walk of musical composition nothing can be finer than Miss Romer's opening scena, in the third act, " Captive in this Palace," which was given with intense effect, and was rapturously applauded. The cavatina of " I must dress like Queen" in the first act, is full of the true vis comics, and was given with admirable espi eg l er i e b y Miss Romer. The concerted pieces are most artistically composed, and the musical public are under great obligations to the Surrey ma nagement for the opportunity it has afforded them of hear ing the best comic opera of the day, in a style quite equal to anything that has ever been produced in the way of opera of late years. Leffler made a right jolly Puritan landlord, and was most comically unctuous in the chorus song of " The Valiant Puritan." The costumes were su perb, and the scenery beautiful, the whole closing with a tableau vivant from West's celebrated picture of the landing of Charles 11. Miss Romer was called for at the fall of the curtain, and was led on by Wilson and Leffler, and loudly cheered ; and Wilson announced the opera for repetition every evening amidst the unanimous applause of one of the most crowded houses we have ever seen. This is a fresh musical triumph for the Surrey. It wa,a here that Donizetti's best comic opera, The Love Spell, was first presented in an English dress, and we '..,onfidently predict that A Queen for a Day will have even a greater run than The Love Spell. SURREY THEATRE. The new management at this theatre seems . destined to 'seep up the high reputation which Davidge has caterers ac quired as one of the most active and judicious . for the public amusement. A complete operatic cop as jpany, of the most eminent professors ol' the s day, h b "a engaged, including Miss Romer, Mrs. ere, , Wil son, and Leffler. G. Stansbury is the conductor, and the c e l e b rated Drury-lane chorus has been engaged, in addition t o th e chorus of the theatre, in order to bring •nit the operas with greater effect. In fact, the Surrey is no.v the only theatre in the metropolis possessing a company capable of giving an English opera as it ought to be •Last night Adolphe Adam's celebrated opera La Heine d'un Jour was produced for the first time in this country at thi s t h eatre, under the t i t l e o f A QUCC7I for a Day. This opera, which was originally produced at the Opera Comique, in Paris, in 1838, ran for upwards of 100 nights, and has been frequently re peated since. It has also been represented with triumphant success on every continental stage in Eu rope, and is decidedly the most popular French opera that has ever been produced since Auber's master-piece Massaniello, and at once• placed Adolphe Adam, pre viously almost unknown, at the head of his profession. The scene, during the first act, is at Calais; during the two last, in England. Its plot is, in fact, a story of the restoration of Charles the Second to the throne of Eng land, and is as follows :—Charles the Second, after the death of Cromwell, determines to make an attempt to regain the English throne. His Queen, a Princess of Portugal, wishes to accompany him. To this, however, he refuses his consent. She, however, embarks on board - the purpose of going to . the ship off Calais, the ex so dangerous that Count a Portuguese naval officer determines to embark the tat she may secretly effect in order to deceive the tails on Francine Camusat tnch milliner, by a bribe of him, land at Dover, and day.

THE FLESH LUSTETH AGAINST THE SPIRIT, AND THE SPIRIT AGAINT THE FLESH.-GAL. v. 17. By H. E. HEAD, A.M., Rector of Feniton. This conflict is not experienced by unregenerate men. It is not the working or counterworking of feelings merely natu ral. It is not produced by one corrupt . propensity warring t against anoth er . Ph aroa b , for example, w i shed to lord it over Israel ; but feared lest Egypt should be destroyed. Balaam wished for the rewards of divination ; but feared the loss of , character as a seer of the visions of the Almighty. Ungodly men in all ages wish to give the rein to lawless passion; but fear some temporal calamity. All these cases are quite dis tinct from the conflict between the flesh and THE SPIRIT. I. By whom is this conflict experienced? By the children of promise, Ro. ix. 8, the heirs of salvation, Heb. i. 14, the seed of God, Hos. i. 4, whose names are written in the book of life, who are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, Eph. i. 4, by the children of God, in short, whose pe culiar distinction it is that the Spirit in due time enters their hearts, Gal. iv. 6, in order to contend against the flesh, and to save them, 1 John iv. 4, from perishing in its corruption. This affords an answer to the question— 11. Who are the contending parties in this conflict ? The flesh and THE SPIRIT. The flesh is the entire nature with its affections, as well as its lusts, which we derive from Adam, and which we bring with us into the world. Its thoughts are only evil continually, Gen. vi. 5. It brings forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness, Matt. xv.l9. Though it may some times wear a plausible or pleasing aspect—in reality, it is the enemy of God, and cannot please God, Ro. viii. 8. Therefore the thir teenth article testifies of all works done previously to regene ration, that they are not pleasing to God, that they are not performed en the principle of evangelical obedience, and that they partake of the nature of sin. Therefore our Lord declares that those who continue unregenerate shall be at length stripped of their apparent goodness, and that that which they seem to have shall be taken from them, Matt. xiii. 12. The other contending part is " THE SPIRIT," that is, the divine nature, 2 Peter i. 4, the second Adam, the eternal God from heaven, 1 Cor. xv. 47, to whom the regenerate soul is united as one Spirit, 1 Cor. vi. 17, " very and eternal God." Article 5. The term " the Spirit" in such passages, does not indicate anything inherent in the natural man —nor, on the other hand, does it indicate the Third Person in the Deity, to the exclusion of the other two ; but rather Deity in gene ral, as contradisting,uished from " the flesh." The divine union of the regenerate soul with God is expressed variously. For example—" If the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he, &cc., Ro. viii. 11 • Christ liveth in me, G a l. ii. 20 ; k now ye not t h at your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you ? 1 Cor. vi. 19. The peculiar operation of the Pa RACLETE is not the point un der consideration at present. Suffice it to remember that the Triune God is signified by " the Spirit," the combatant who was against the flesh, John iii. 6, iv. 24. 111. Who is the victor in this conflict ? This question surely is quite unnecessary. For if the eternal God be one of the contending parties, who or what can possibly prevail against HI31? 0 then, if that be the case, the heirs of salvation may fall asleep ! They may do next to nothing, or nothing, or worse than nothing ! They are sure to be saved, let them do what they will !" To this very shallow but not very new method, Ro. iii. 8, of raising objections to truth—the answer is clear and obvious. God will not suffer the heirs of salvation to fall asleep. Or if they do, he will take care to awaken them. Sampson, if he had been left to himself, would have been a perfect slave to Satan. But the Spirit of the Lord, in spite of his corrupt nature, ever and anon came mightily upon him, so that the enemies of holiness quaked for fear. The great Elijah would have despaired. Had he been left to himself he never would have arisen from that juniper tree. But the Angel of the Lord came to the desponding Prophet, and con strained him by a touch to walk forty days and forty nights without food or rest. The prophet Isaiah was for cutting short the theme of inspiration with a " Woe is me, for I am undone !" But the grand perspective of eternity was spread before his passive sight ; and he became a pen in the hand of the Almighty. 'I he prophet Daniel was stretched on his bed, and there no doubt he would have fallen asleep. But he was constrained to behold the mystical beast—and to write what he had beheld with feelings of the deepest awe. The hand of the Lord is not shortened : nor do his children need' that helping hand now less than formerly. So that when they would give way to the carnal nature which works within them, the Spirit of the Lord comes mightily upon them, and in despite of sin, sloth, sorrow, and despondence, stirs them up to enterprize, and self denial—or sets before them pro phetic visions, causing their minds to understand, and their hearts to delight in the things which the prophets have spoken John xvi. 13. In this sense we may understand St. Paul's words—lf the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you he shall also Sssicken your mortal bodies, &c. Ro. viii. 11, so as to constrain you to render your mem bers instruments of righteousness unto God. Ro. vi. If we content ourselves with anything short of this doctrine of the divine Saviour's quickening and preventing power, expressly, effectually, and perpetually exerted for our benefit—we throw ourselves back upon our miserable works, into a worse position than that of Adam before his fall—we make the word of God of none effect, and grace is no more grace, Ro. xi. 6. Fln short— if it be objected to the security and perseverance of the saints that " the flesh lusteth against the Spirit"—be it also remem bered (and blessed be God for the expression—for it contains the energy of the Gospel !) that " THE SPIRIT CONTENDS AGAINST THE FLESH." Hence they are already said to be more than conquerors, Ro. vii. 25 ; viii. 37 ; 1 John v. 5. Conquerors they are, and conquerors they always shall be— unless Aou can prove man to be a more powerful combatant than God. 1 Cor. xv. 57 ; 1 John iv. 4. IV. This conflict (beir g the certain effect and token of eternal life and salvation in those who experience it)—to what is it to be attributed—on what foundation does it rest? It is to be attributed to the eternal election of the Father. Gal. iv. 6, and it is founded on the atonement of the bleed of Christ —a doctrine which shall be considered in the next tract. •V. The effect produced by this conflict in the children of God, is—" bitterness and sweetness." Rev. x. 10. The " bitterness" arises from an experimental acquaintance with original and actual sin. Ezek. xxxvi. 31—the " sweetness" from an adequate estimate of the length, breadth, depth, and height of the love of the Saviour, Eph. iii. 18, which causes them to sing-0 how sweet are thy words unto my throat ! Pa. cxix. VI. The prize of this conflict is. that when Christ shall ap pear, the Sons of God shall be like him. 1 John iii. 2. The greatest of them can hardly have more than this, and the lease shall certainly not have less. - ---- • TRADE IN DUNDEE.—We have again to re cord a very dull state of things here—the transactions in linens, flax, and yar:s, being extremely limited. Let ters from St. Petersburgh to the 25th ultimo, N.S. say, At this moment th ere i s no thi ng doing—the Cuyers seem to be deferring their operations until the:fresh flax arrives, and they see how the braak will go : it is not supposed the price for the nine heads, braak 1841, will open under Ro. 95."—which, at the exchange of 381 d., will cost about 321. per ton. f. o. b. At Riga flax was quiet, and it is still the general opinion prices are to be down after the first ships are gone ; those vessels which have gone out on chance find no charterers. Consider able disappointment is expressed at the non-arrival of the Britannia steamer, from New York and Halifax, now a week overdue. It is understood she has on board many of the spring sales and remittances. Serious fears are entertained for her safety ; and there is now almost no hope of hearing of the President.—Fife Herald. THE WEATHER, CROPS, FRUIT, &C.—Up to this time the month of June has hardly been so propi tious as May was. The weather has been very cold, and on Friday we had something like a storm. Altogether, however, the weather is good, the only complaint being drought, and this will certainly be hurtful to the grass crop if we do not get rain immediately. The ground, however, has been put in admirable condition for receiv ing the turnip seed, and the cold has seemingly not pre vented fruit from advancing with great rapidity. So far back as Saturday last, we were favoured at this office with a beautiful and delicious bunch of fully ripe Mayduke cherries. These were grown on a wall tree in the garden of Mr. John Duff, at Kinninmont. No more than the ordinary care was taken of them, and they were quite exposed. On Monday, we had a similar present from Mr. Dingwall, saddler here. All this shows the great mildness of the season.—Fife Herald. UNFAIR COMPETITION.—Human labour has not a fair chance. The iron machine has its food—coal and water—produced on the spot, untaxed as cheap as nature can give it. The flesh and blood machine has to be supported by food 40 per cent. higher in price than nature gives it. No wonder that machinery should sup plant hand labour, and that the poor hand loom weaver should be competing at such terrible odds.—Alarm. The T or i es h ave taken a mortgage of eight hundred millions on the national estate—have applied it to themselves ; and now they blame the Whigs for fail ing to meet the whole interest of " the Debt." They blame their opponents for not paying debts which they did not incur. However a country may be blinded for a moment by the specious display of liberality, and scat tering of plundered wealth. on the part of the Tories, there would soon be a reaction when in office, and the dupe of to-day would become to-morrow's enraged anta gonist. They were fairly driven from office in 1830— from no other cause than national dislike of the party. The same is to be said of 1835—and the same would happen, if required, in 1842.

SIR-I have seen in the newspapers a long account of the Bishop of Chester's Charge to his Clergy. I beg leave to observe, in the first place, that the Gospel which is there preached is " no Gospel at all,"* (to borrow his Lordship's phrase ;) and in the second place, that his Lordship would be a much more faithful Minister if he were as zealous for reforming as he seems to be for extending the Church. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient Servant, H. E. HEAD. * " By one way alone (his Lordship is reported to have said) can man propitiate the Son, and that is by believing on him His faith in this atonement which leads to his acceptance," &c., &c. With all due respect to the Bishop of Chester—man cannot " propitiate the Son," either by " believing on him," or by anything else. The doctrine of Scripture, and of the Thirty nine Articles, (which the Bishop of Chaster does not seem to understand any more than the rest of his Right Reverend Bre thren,) is, that the Divine Saviour saves and regenerates the children of promise of his own free grace ; and that " believing " is the effect (and not the cause) of this salvation. What his Lordship preaches, if one may judge from this " Charge" is, a more plausible kind of Puseyism, or Popery. The errors in the Confirmation Service, which are countenanced in this Charge, may seem light in the eyes of their Lordships the Bishops ; but they are far from being light in the eyes of him who warns us not to " teach things which we ought not for filthy lucre's sake." I am far from imputing what are usually called sordid motives to the Bishop of Chester. I only assert that principles entirely subversive of the Gospel, and contrary to it, are to be found, as well, in his Lord ship's Charge, as in the Confirmation Service which he up holds. The Puseyites speak of " reserve," in preaching the doctrine of the Atonement. The truth is,—they do not under stand it. And this remark equally applies to the Bishop of Chester—if the report of his Lordship's Charge (which occu pies three columns of the Record newspaper) be correct. H. E. HEAD. ELECTION MOVEMENTS. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) GLOUCESTER, MONDAY EVENING.—A requisition, nume rously and respectably signed, was last week presented to H. H. Carter, Esq., Mayor, requesting him to convene a meeting of the inhabitants, to express their opinion on the pro posed repeal of the Corn-laws, and to forward the return of two Corn-law repeaters for this city at the ensuing election. In pursuance of which a meeting was appointed for one o'clock this day, to be holden in the Tolsey. The Mayor was called to the chair, and shortly after the commencement of the pro ceedings the room was so densely crowded that an adjourn ment took place to the Shire Hall, which was immediately filled. The greatest unanimity prevailed, excellent speeches made, and resolutions condemnatory of the infamous Corn-laws unanimously carried. J. Phillpots, Esq., M. P. for the city, was present, and delivered an effective address in favour of total repeal. He is safe, and there is every prospect of the re turn of Captain Berkeley as his colleague. THE ELECTIONS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - - SlR,—Allow me to direct your attention to Brighton. A general election will soon take place, and it is well known how matters stand there—that the Liberal party, united, is strong enough to carry triumphantly two Members ; but a fatal di vision in their ranks gave the Tories a chance of which they eagerly availed themselves, and the consequence is that Liberal Brighton is neutralised, the votes of their excellent Member Captain Pechell are nullified by the counter Notes of Sir A. Dalrymple. Well, is that division healed or not? If not, in the coming struggle we shall see repeated the unaccountable scene, I do not wish to use strong l anguage , o f Lib era l s vo ti ng for their bitterest enemies, the Chartists supporting the man who, on Mr. Duncombe's motion for the release of political of fenders, kept out of the way, who had not the manliness to record his vote against him, but whose character is well enough shown by abstaining from voting. He owes his seat to the Chartists—his vote would have turned the scale, his seat yet depends on the support of the Chartists, he has thrown them overboard at a meat important moment. Will they again com mit such a political suicide as would be involved in the act of supporting him ?—Your's, &c. A LIBERAL. LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA By the arrival of the Royal Mail stearmer Caledonia, at two o'clock yesterday at Liverpool, we have received New York papers of the 31st ult., and Boston and Halifax papers of the Ist , and 3d inst. respectively. We have also received a second edition of the Liverpool Albion of yesterday, containing a summary of ' the most important news brought by th e C a l e d on i a. Thi s fi ne r vessel sailed from Boston on the Ist and Halifax on the 3d in , stant, and, including a stoppage of ten hours at the latter port for the Canada mails, has made the voyage in the remarkably short space of 12 days and 14 hours, the shortest, with but one exception, made since the establishment of the Cunard line of steamers. She has brought 104 passengers, who are de lighted with their short and pleasant passage. The arguments in the case of Mr. M'Leod having been con cluded, the Supreme Court took time to consider its judgment. It afterwards made an order, which was, " that, inasmuch as it is impossible that any decision will be made this term, M'Leod shall be committed to the custody of the Sheriff of New York, and that the Sheriff of Niagara be discharged from responsibility." The Sheriff of New York had, it was stated, refu'ed to undertake the responsibility of the custody of the prisoner, who was very well treated in his peculiar cir cumstances. The Halifax Papers are loud in their condemnation of the treatment which Mr. M'Leod had received at the hands of the Americans, and blames the supineness of the British Govern ment on his behalf. The New York Papers, friendly to Eng land, seem to fear that the tone assumed respecting the case of the prisoner may lead to a serious dispute between the two countries. The New York Papers contain a letter from Mr. M'Leod. •It denies positively the boastings alleged to have been made by him, that he was present at the destruction of the Caroline, and charges heavy persecutions on the " patriots" of Buffalo, Lockport, &c. He ascribes his arrest and indictment wholly to the vengeance of the said "patriots," and says that they have punished him more than the public are aware. The Extra Session Of Congress was to commence on the 31st ult. The Messa ge from the President would b e d e li vere d on the Ist instant. The Journals are filled with speculations as to the leading business which was likely to engage the atten tion of the Legislature. The National Theatre, at New York, had been destroyed by fire on the morning of the 29th ult. The event was supposed to have been caused by incendiaries. A girl was burnt to death during the fire. The state of trade had not undergone any alteration in the interval between the 20th and 31st ult. It was dull. The news taken out by the Caledonia had a very depressing effect upon the New York Cotton Market. Holders of Cot ton submitted to a reduction of !full 1-2 c., and, in some in stances, 3-4 c. per lb. At this decline buyers came into the market and took a large quantity. The exchange for the Caledonia was quoted at 108 to 108 i, at which a fair business was transacted, and the market closed firm. On France the rate was sf. 26ic. to sf. 25c ; on Am sterdam, 39?,- to 40 ;on Hamburgh, to 36 ;on Bremen, 77 to 77k. The shares in the Bank of the United States, which were quoted at 184, at the date of the previous advices, had advanced to 20i at New York, and 204 to 20i at Philadelphia. The bank had placed itself under the new revenue law. The intelligence from Canada is not important. Lord Sy_ denham took his departure from Montreal to Kingston on the 26th ult., to preside at the opening of the United Parliament. Lieut. W. Wynniatt, of the 83d regiment, was drowned on the 14th instant, at London, Upper Canada. The 34th regi ment had left Toronto for Montreal and Quebec, en route for England. MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK : ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SEVEN LIVES LOST. (From the Quebec Mercury, a May 22.) It again becomes our duty to record a calamity involving de struction of human life to an awful extent. Four of the crew and four of the passengers of the brig Minstrel, Captain Outer bridge, arrived here yesterday, bringing the disastrous intel ligence, of which the following is an accurate summary. The Minstrel left Limerick, Ireland, on the 21st April last, for Quebec, with one hundred and forty-one passengers, emi grants, intending to settle in Canada. The vessel had a to lerable passage up to Tuesday last, at four o'elock in the morn ing, when she struck on Red Island Reef. There was a heavy sea running at the time, but the boats. were launched and made fast to the fore chains. Upwards of one hundred passengers embarked in their boats, but their doom was quickly sealed; the vessel "heeled off" into deep water and went down stern foremost, so suddenly that the " painters" of the boats could not be cast off, and the people who had em barked in the boats perished, with their equally unfortunate companions on board the ship, except four of the crew and four passengers, who alone, of upwards of 150 souls, remained to tell the sad tale. These eight persons had embarked in the gig, which was towing astern, and fortunately for them, the rope which attached it to the vessel broke when she went down. They succeeded in pulling to White Island, where they re mained until the following day, when they were taken off by the ship Welli n gton, Mclntyre, and bro ug ht t o G rose I sle. Captain Outerbridge, of the unfortunate Minstrel, behaved most gallantly during the awful scene, until he perished with the rest. He declared that he would not leave the vessel un til his passengers were saved, and he was the last person seen by those who were in the gig, Following are the names of the survivors :—Crew—Patrick O'Loghlin, steward ; James Grady and Thomas Enwright, seamen ; and John Donoghue, apprentice. Passengers-- Flaherty, shoemaker, and wife, Honoria Ringrose, and -- Collins. Following is a statement of the numEer of the crew and passengers who perished : Crew Captain Outerbridge, mate, and 9 others. Passengers—Male adults, 47 ; female ditto, 41; males under. fourteen, 10; female ditto, 9; males under seven, 9; females ditto, 12; infants, 10. Total pe rished, 147. The passengers above mentioned as being saved left the Wellington at Grose Isle, and came to Quebec in the Thetis, from Limerick. DREADFUL DISASTER AT QUEBEC. • The Canada papers, w•e are sorry to see, furnish painful and still more calamitous particulars of the disaster at Quebec. (From the Quebec Gazette of May 19.) The accident in Champlain-street, on Monday, the 17th instant, has proved more disastrous than we represented it to be at the time. The following list of persons known to be in the houses at the time of the calamity has been furnished by the city clerk, and we fear it is yet incomplete : Williams's House—Mrs. Williams and two children, dead; Jane Crawford and Ellen Reid, dead; Miss Williams and sister, uninjured.

Dead, 26—Saved, 22—Not found, 6 A funeral procession of 17 bodies proceeded from the Lower Town Church to the Roman Catholic Cathedral this morning, preceded by a numerous body of the clergy, and followed by a great concourse of people. A solemn funeral service was per formed for these lamented victims of the late accident. STEAMBOAT BURNED.—Steamer Maryland was burnt to the water's edge last Sunday, at the mouth of Licking river, opposite Cincinnati. The flames made such rapid progress, that four men who slept on board narrowly escaped with their lives. The boat is a total loss. She was built at Brownsville, Pa, four years since, at an expense of $17,000. DREADFUL Surcinz.--.on Friday afternoon last, Joseph F. Longshore, of the borough of Newtown, committed suicide, by cutting open his stomach with a butcher's knife. The unfortu nate man, with his own hand, mangled himself dreadfully, and actually cut out a portion of his bowels before he was disco vered. He lingered in agony until the evening of the same day, when he expired. The deceased has left a family. —Doyle ston, Pa. Intelligences ;May 26. EMIGRATION.—Two thousand: three hundred and twenty nine emigrants arrived at Montreal from Great Britain on the 18th, 20th, 21st, and 22d inst. (From the Halifax Morning Post of June 3.) WRECK OF A NEW YORK LINER ON THE COAST OF NOVA SCOTIA. News arrived in town yesterday, by a schooner from Anti gonish, that the packet ship Sampson, Smith, of and from London for New York, struck a rock on the night of the 28th of May, near Whitehead, south-west of the Gut of Canso, and became so injured and leaky, that the crew and passengers (180) had to abandon her. A brig, a total wreck, was near the Sampson. Immediately on receipt of the intelligence of the wreck, the Government schooner Victory, Captain —, sailed for the relief of the passengers, and it is expected will arrive with them at Halifax to-day or to-morrow. (From the Savannah Republican, May 20.) FROM FLORIDA.—MORE INDIAN MURDERS.—We yes terday received intelligence by the steamer General Clinch, that the Indians have again been at the work of death within oar own State. On the 12th instant, two men were murdered at or near Trader's Hill, in the vicinity of the Okefenokee. There was also a report which needs c onfirmation, that one or two more individuals met a like fate at the hands of the faith less Seminoles. One of the murdered men we learn was killed in his own house, in which were two or three children who for tunately made their escape to their mother, she !happening at the moment tobe a short distance from the house in the woods, where they concealed themselves till - the departure of the savages. . . FROM TIM PACIFIC.—By the ship Natchez, Captain Hayes, we have Valparaiso Papers to the 16th of March. We regret to announce the death of Commodore Alexander Clazton, Commander of the American Pclusdren in th e Facile' iE 15, 1841. He died at Talcahuano on the 7th of March, and his remains were conveyed in the frigate Constitution to Valparaiso, where she arrived on the 11th. The funeral took place on the 12th. The Natchez brings $102,000 in specie. The U. S. corvette Yorktown, Capt. Aulick, arrived at. Valparaiso, March 20th, from Rio Janeiro. On Sunday, the 14th, at 9 o'clock in the morning, the pri soners in the Presidio rose upon the guard, overpowered them, and escaped. The garrison, on hearing the alarm, seized their muskets, and followed in pursuit for about a league. The prisoners, not regarding the summons to stop, were re peatedly fired upon ; twenty-seven of them killed and seven wounded. Three of the soldiers were also wounded. About 20 of the prisoners were still at large on the 16th, but it was thought they would soon be taken. TRADE AND MONEY MRKET. COTTON TRADE. (From the New York Herald Extra, of May 31. ) On the receipt of the late news from England, the Cotton Market in this city became quiet, and sales could not be effected unless at a decline of 4 to 1 c. per lb. from the rates previously current, although bad news in some measure was anticipated. The market remained quiescent for a few days and resumed its activity at the decline of ic, at which the prices' have since been steady, and sales to a fair extent, mostly for export. In the extreme southern ports the markets have been more active, and a small advance has generally been obtained.

To William Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's. When General Cabrera's sisters and brother were about to emigrate from Spain into France, he entrusted a sum of 50,000 francs, which they had deposited in his hands, to a smuggler named Picole, and his wife, to be conveyed over the frontier for the use of his refugee relations, and which, in fact, was their only fortune. On coming into France himself, he found that these people had never delivered the money, and it was resolved to prosecute them for its recovery, and the breach of trust. The trial was to have taken place on the 4th inst., at Perpignan. Th e C ourt was crowded with persons of all classes, in expectation of seeing and hearing some of the most celebrated characters of the late civil war in Spain ; for the public prosecutor had summoned General Cabrera, his two sisters, Mmes. 8010 and Arnau, and his brother, and several other refugees of note, as witnesses in support of the accusa tion ; and the Picoles had also called upon some Spanish refu gees of note, and particularly such members of the Junta of Catalonia as are now residing at Bourg and Besancon. The anticipation of interest was heightened by the expectation of seeing Cabrera and the men whom he had accused of being the instigators of the violent death of the Count d'Espagne brought face to face. These hopes of excitement were, however, dis appointed by the non-appearance of the witnesses for the de fence, who declined coming a distance of more than a hundred leagues, without being previously furnished with the means of paying the expenses of their journey, with which the Picoles had neglected to supply them.

GENTLEMEN, AS an immediate Dissolution of Parliament is about to take place, I lose no time in announcing my intention of offering myself a fourth time for the honour of again representing you in that Assembly. The recent vote of Want of Confidence in her Majesty's Ministers was manifestly brought forward for the purpose of precipitating a dissolution, and preventing the free discussion of the changes proposed to be made in the C ,rn-laws, after the Ministers had declared their intention of appealing to the nation upon that important question. The People of England at the approaching Election are called upon to determine whether they will support the imme diate modification and ultimate repeal of those selfish and un just laws, which unduly advance the interests of a small por tion of society, and press to the earth the Commercial, Manu facturing, and Trading Classes of this great Community. That the Electors of Southwark will act nobly in the coming struggle, I can have no reason to doubt, and I shall be proud, as one of their representatives, to carry to the House of Com mons the record of their opinions upon this important question, and if, emulous of their example, the other great constituen cies throughout the kingdom return Members actuated by si milar principles, her Majesty's Ministers will be in a condition, in the ensuing Parliament, to put down those factious discus sions which have so long impeded the course of sound and wholesome legislation, and to carry measures which, while they uphold the honour and stability of the Throne, will secure the liberty, 'happiness, and prosperity of the people. Intimately connected as I am, both by property and resi dence, with the Borough, which for nine years I have had the honour to represent, it is superfluous for me to say that to the utmost of my power I will endeavour to promote your weal and permanent interests. If by my past conduct I have earned your confidence, by the same course of conduct I will endeavour in future to deserve it. I remain, Brother Electors, yours faithfully, Southwark, June lb, 1841. JOHN HUAIPHER Y. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE TOWER HAMLETS. GENTLEMEN, 110 my near connection with one of the oldest advocates of Free Trade, and staunchest supporters of popular rights, alone is to be ascribed the honour I have this day received at the hands of so numerous and influential a por tion of your body. In complying with the Requisition to be come a Candidate for your representation in the ensuing Par liament, I offer this relationship as the most effective guarantee one so unknown and untried can give of the zeal and fearless ness with which I hope at all times, and in every situation, to use my best efforts for the promotion of the liberty and happi ness of my fellow-citizens. When seeking to be invested with such an important trust, it is necessary that I should briefly state to you my views on some of the more prominent political questions of the present time. Convinced of the injurious effects on manufactures, shipping, and commerce, of any restrictions on the freedom of trade, I would use my most sincere efforts for the total abolition of the present Corn-laws ; for, so long as we are prevented by statutes from exchanging our produce for that which foreigners have to give in return, and of which we stand most in need, it will be vain to expect any permanent relief to those classes who are now suffering from an unjust monopoly, or increased pros perity to the nation at large. With the abolition of the Corn-laws, the suffering arising from the operation of the new Poor-law would cease. Unjust as it is in principle to expect the efforts of a free man, from one fettered and crippled by Acts of Parliament, the harshness and cruelty which have too often accompanied the carrying out of the details of the new Poor-law imperatively demand its erasure from the Statute Book—at any rate, the burthen is thrown upon its supporters of proving what portion, if any, may fairly and usefully be retained. Freedom of conscience is as necessary as freedom of commerce for the real happi ness of a nation. No sect can have any right to impose a tax upon another's creed, as is in effect the case when a Dissenter is called upon to pay for the support of a Church which is not his own. The additional grievance of being subjected to the enforcement of this tax by the process of an arbitrary and extraordinary Court, is one which I would gladly assist to remove. There must be many among you to whom the liability to impressment is known as a personal wrong. How a practice which has neither law nor justice on its side can continue to exist, or what reason can be adduced for demanding a sailor's labour without paying him its value (for this is the object and effect of impressment), is' incomprehensible to me. But however agreed we may be as to the ends to be desired, there remains for our consideration the means by which these rights of conscience, freedom of trade, cheap government, and other useful reforms are to be attained. Firmly persuaded of the justice of the principle that among a free people taxa tion and representation should be co-extensive, I am a sincere advocate for the extension of the suffrage. I can see no limit short of this with which the people ought to rest satisfied. Aided by vote by ballot, equalisation of electoral districts, and annual Parliaments, I think we should then be in a condition to attain all those rights which we desire as ardently as we tho roughly need. conclusion, allow me to assure you that I shall lose no time in presenting myself personally to the electors ; in the meanwhile believe me to remain, Your's faithfully, T.

JOHN LON GALORE, Chairman. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK. GENTLEMEN, THE approaching Dissolution of Parliament is an appeal t o the peop'e on a subject of the greatest im portance. The existing laws which regard corn, sugar, and timber, by the excessive duties they impose on the produce of any other country, restrict the consumption of these articles to the produce of the United Kingdom and of our Colonic.. A% an example of the effect of these laws, the price of sugar (exclusive of duty) is 100 per cent. higher in this country than in any other, while cur warehouses are filled with the produce of other lands which, prohibited from being sold in England, is held there under a bond for re-exportation. This is but one familiar instance of the effect of a system of duties and restrictions on commerce, which deprives the British peo ple of a Market for their labour, imposes ;on them a higher rate of taxation, and condemns them to pay for the necessaries of life a higher price than is known to any other part of the world. Her Majesty's Ministers propose to remedy these evils by allowing, at a fixed and moderate duty, the importation of the produce of other countries, in exchange for the labour of our own. This proposition, if carried, would have so increased the consumption of the articles imported, as to restore the now declining revenue, and prevent the necessity of new taxation on a people already taxed per head beyond any other nation. These measures seeming to me, in addition to the restoration of the revenue to a healthy state, highly calculated to remove the shackles on industry, and to enlarge the fields for its exercise, finding employment for hands ready to work, and for employment a sufficient reward, received my strenuous support, and I shall do all in my power to promote them in whatever situation I may be placed. But the Ministry have been defeated by the present Parlia ment, which, through the confederation of the monopolists and Tories, has decided that the landowners of the United King dom, the sugar growers of the East and West Indies, and the timber hewers of British America shall, by protective privileges, monopolize the supply of these necessary articles to our vastly increased and increasing population, however inadequate that supply may be to its wants, and however exorbitant may be the price. My opinions on all other points of policy have been so re cently declared to you, that I have confined myself to thi s , which I deem to be the most important measure which hag been submitted to the present Parliament, and without which I see no possible means of relieving the country from its present exigencies, and of preventing its difficulties from increasing until they become insurmountable, and our country falls from its 'present high position to a state of impotency and insignificance. In offering you the continuance of my humble but zealous services, I refer yqu to my conduct during the time I have had the honour of representing you, I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient and faithful servant, Southwark, June 14, 1841.
