TO THE ELECTORS OF SHEFFIELD GENTLEMEN The invitation that you have been so kind as to send to me requesting me to become a candidate for your suff rages at the coming Election, I at once accept—thanking you most sincerely tor this signal and unexpected mark of your esteem and ap probation. I say approbation, because I thus construe your invitation. Of my political life you have taken taste—and noting, have approved. You say that my past actions have been such as to win your confi dence. To those acts I must refer you, as the best and most com plete evidence of my political opinions. Eighteen years ago, when for the first time I was about to solicit the suffrages of my country- Men, in the hope that they would place me in the proud position of a representative of the people, I stated at some length the principles Which would guide my conduct upon all the great questions of policy Which then occupied the attention of the nation. To that statement I could now refer, and for the same purpose : I could refer to it, not onlY as an exposition of my private opinions, but as a test by which to try the consistency of my performance and my professions. The experience of many years has, I hope, made me wiser, and taught Me the mode most conducive to the practical application of the prin ciples which I profess—but from the principles themselves I have not departed. The years that have elapsed since 1832 have indeed settled very few of the questions which at that period interested and divided the whole people. We have advanced—and are advancing—but at every step the contest of opinions is renewed, and we have almost every slay to re-state the arguments by which each separa'e victory has been obtained. On the great and leading questions of constitutional reform, though much has been done, much remains to be accomplished. The many anomalies of our electoral system have yet to be removed —a fuller scope must be given to the popular will—and numerous sissies who are now unwisely excluded must be brought within the pale of the Constitution. Every statesman who really desires here after to provide for the well-being of the people will seriously con sider the question of the suffrage, in order to bring about speedily, though cautiously, a large extension of it. 14y opinion as to the best mode of taking the votes at elections I have seen no reason to change. In order that opinion may be freely expressed, the ballot seems to me absolutely indispensable. In short, though the Reform Act was a great step in advance, still the increasing intelligence of the country demands, and will In its proper time attain, a reform of the Reform Act. Although we cannot hope to win and retain complete good govern ment itself without perfection in the means, yet we most not post- Pone all other reforms until those of the Constitution are attained. Our endeavours may at the same time ha directed to many objects, and I therefore proceed to touch upon some which appear at the Present moment of the highest importance. Though, in my opinion, a Government cannot do much directly to Procure wealth and comfort for a people, it can, and unfortunately does, do much improperly to diminish their substance, and thereby , their comfort. Unnecessary expense—unmeaning, mischievous re strictions upon the industrious labours of the people, have in all ages beets the vice of Governments. But the vigilance of the popu lar leaders must now be directed to curb this evil—not only must we, then, enforce a rigid economy, but we must require that a perfectly free trade should give full scope for the active energies of an indus trious nation. Connected with this subject in many ways, and with the well being of mankind in many more, is the great subject ofcolonization. The colonies of England have been planted in spite of the mischie vous interference, and not by the aid of the Government of England. It Is high time that the intelligence of her people should act upon our rulers, and make them directly useful in extending our name, our language, our institutions, and the blessings of an enlightened religion, over the vast regions which nominally own our rule, but which lie useless to us and to mankind To this end, it appears to me that Use whole subject of our colonies calls for a complete and immediate revision. While speaking of expenss, and the impolicy and Injustice of our conduct towards certain outlying portions of our territories, I must not forget a part of the empire itself, an integral and most important portion of the United Kingdom—l mean unfortunate Ireland. Our conduct to Ireland has been, till a few years since. one continued act of terrible injustice ; and we now wonder that the people, whom we have treated as slaves for centuries. should not have the virtues and habits of free men. There is now but one course of wise policy as regards Ireland. We must establish rigid justice throughout the land. We must suffer no party, no sect, no class to domineer over at,y other; and to this maintenance of peace among her hitherto contending sons, our efforts must he confined. !Two do More, we shall do serious injustice to the people of England and Scotland, and render no service to those of Ireland. If we were to morrow to transter the whole wealth of England to Ireland, we should only create waste, idleness, and vice. A people must work out their own regeneration, and acquire wise, frugal, and virtuous habits, by leading a wise, frugal, and virtuous life. The wealth that is not acquired by labour is but too often squandered in ex travagance. I have spoken above of extending over our wide and yet unsettled territories the inestimable benefits of an enlightened religion. This naturally calls my attention to the situation of religion among our selves, both as regards doctrines and establishments. lam myself a member of the Church of England. I was edu • canal as a member of the Established Church; and after a careful conside , ation I have seen no reason to leave the fellowship of my childhood and youth. But this determination has been formed after consideration, and is the result of my own will, utterly independent of that of any 0-her man. What, then, I have demanded for myself —the right that I hive vindicated in my own person—l demand for all others. I insist upon religious as well as civil liberty. If my mind be enthralled by arbitrary will, and not led by the suasion of reason, I am more a slave than if you put my body in chains. While I demand for all this freedom, which I have exercises myself, I proceed yet further. I hold every coercion on this subject impolitic, as well as unjust. You may compel to outward observance, and to face declarations ; you may create hypocrisy and discontent ; but at rd of command you cannot make men believe. With this view, therefore, I am led to deprecrte, on all proper occasions, every attempt to make establishments which exist for the Der Pose of promoting any peculiar religious opinion State establish raents. In a country like ours, of complicated relations, of long established habits and opinions, I cannot expect that my opinions on such a subject should be immediately acceded to ; and lam not prone to led hurt or to take offence when I fled men differ from me Concerning it. But though we cannot change at once what has been long established, we can far more easily prevent new steps in a wrong direction ; and, therefore, to any extension of such religious estab lishments I shall direct unceasing opposition. Within the narrow limits of an address like the present. I cannot do more than indicate my views, and touch upon the leading opinions I hold. From this general view, however, an accurate conception e ft, be attained by you of the political character of the min you n a ve invited; and an opportunity will, I hope, be soon afforded me . explaining, to the satisfaction of all whom the matter may in terest, my present feelings and future plans respecting our domestic Jay exposition, however general, which omitted a reference to our foreign relations and policy would be indeed incomplete. My belief on this subject is, that our true policy consists in abstaining from all-idle intermeddling with the affairs of other nations. Every nation in Europe has at this time enough to occupy its attention in settling its own affairs ; and the history of Europe, from the year 1830 to the pr sent time, when compared with the history of Europe from 1793 to 1815, is the best argument which historical experience can offer la favour of leaving a people to regulate and arrange fir themselves their own internal affairs. Interference in 1793 kindled the flames of war over the whole world—a war unequalled for the blood that was shed and the wealth squandered in its terrible and disastrous conflicts. Non-interference in 1830 has allowed Europe a chalice of peace, and holds out to us a hope that the struggling people will, :a every nation of the groat European family, eventually attain the inestimable benefits of a well-regulated popular Govern- Lunt. I trust end, Gentlemen, SU I began, by expressing •to you ray 1 ;M") , thanks for the honour you have conferred on me, and by Plae ug myself at your disposal, for the coming election. I are readY, when it shall so pl. me you, to present myself to your notice, and submit to all such inquiry as you may th'isk right. having nothing to coaceal, I have no fear of inquiry. I beg to remain, Gentlemen, Your most obliged and faithilil Servant, J. A. ROEBUCK. T HE NICOLL.—REGENT-STREET and CORNIIILL.

The price is TWO GUINEAS, the tame as charged at 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL, for • THE REGISTERED PALETOT, *sick is likewise now ready for the Spring months, with all the new and patented improvements included in the above moderate price ; thus it deservedly bears the name of being not only the moot fashionable but also the cheapest and most durable garment ever offered to the Public, the intrinsic value of the material known as NICOLLIAN or LLAMA CLO being, within the last few months, Much enhanced, the same durability being retained, with ai Increased fineness and beauty in appearance. It cast be seen ready for imme diate wear, in every size, at 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNMILL, bat IT is impossible to detail i n an or di nary Adver tisement the many advantages appertaining to the above gar ments. In the first place, Messrs. NICOLL purchase the wool direct from the foreign grower, and it does not leave their possession until it is produced In a complete form and ready for the inspection of their Patrons. Messrs. NICOLL are honoured with the patronage of their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, Prince George of Cam bridge, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, his Grace the Duke of Wel lington, and all others distinguished in Rank and Fashion, the Court, the Pulpit, and the Bar. .At 114,.116,: and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL, there Is to be seen THE NICOLL.—A patented garment a n d pos , sessing this peculiarity, that whilst in its exterior it preserves every characteristic of the Registered Paletot, it can, by simply detaching an inner 11 ing, be conver ed from a warm to a Ilea Ov ercoat, or vice versa, at th' pleasure of the wearer. This same inner lining, when detached, of itself forms a most comfortable reading or dressing jacket. There are many other advanta;es con-. tallied In THE NICOLL, rentlering it as a garment a most valuable adjunct in a variable climate, also for travelling, &c., but it should be seen and worn t o b e f a i r ly a pp rec i a t e d , b u t i t can be had in Lon ana only at 114, 116, 120, REGENT-liTREET, and 22, CORNIIILL, IT is perhaps unnecessary here to state that Messrs. NICOLL will endeavour to deserve and retain the eminent Position they have attained through the employment and liberal Payment of the best skill and talent tkat can be raet with in order to introduce articles of gentlemanly costume in the most perfect taste. Messrs. N. are well aware that their great popularity induced 1, 7 the high character exhibited in every point of the Registered Paletot, &c., lac., has caused many to assume a somewhat similar title for their goods, but the copy has consisted only '.n a close re- Semblance of tke name but not of the article ; a careful observance of the annexed address is therefore respectfully solicited, where the above garments can only be obtained in Lemlon. 11.

Dacres, is very fast dismantling, and will have a clean swept hold in a very few days. It was in order to pay her off the 14th inst., but such a thing was quite impossible. Her pay-'books, it is certain, were not sent up before Thursday, if they were then, and her stores cannot be all returned this week. In fact, eleven or twelve working days are requisite to get such a ship reedy for paying off. The Penelope, steam-frigat e , Captain L. T. Jones, being clear e d ou t, an d stripped to her girtlines, was warped this morning: alongside the, sheer-jetty, and her masts taken ou t. Sh e i s ordered to be paid off on `Monday. The new screw steam-frigate Termagant, in the basin, will not be completed for commission before the 10th of July. The Arrogant steam-frigate, 46, Captain Fitzroy, was taken into dock today to have some cocks fitted for carrying away the waste from the new galley, and to have her copper Itroomed down. She is upwards of 1,800 tons burden, with an auxiliary engine of 360 horse power, and works up to 1,000. The ship Constantine, 497 tons, now fitting at Dept ford, is appropriated to convey a draught of the sth Fusiliers from the Isle of Wight to the Mauritius. La Hogue steam-guard-ship was taken out of Sheer ness harbour , on Thursday by the eigiueer o ffi cers, for a , FWaerkdsnesda at the sa me port, received a n d t h e l atter trial of her machinery.

The Plumper steam-schooner, Commander Nolloth, and the sister vessel Reynard, Commander Cracroft, at Portsmouth, are both to have a reduced armament. Some guns will be taken out of the Reynard, because she is unable to mount them with safety, and the Plumper will discharge some, because it is alleged the complement of crew is insufficient to man them properly if needed —the space fur crew not admitting of accommodating a larger number than 110.

ADDRESS FROM THE INHABI TANTS OF WESTMINSTER TO M. DE LA MARTINE. A considerable number of the English party now in Paris, and who are inhabitants of Westminster, have presented, in the name of a large body of their fellow-inhabitants, the following address, voted on the 4th inst. to M. de Lamartine Honoured Sir, —We, the undersigned, inhabitants of Westminster, embracing the opportunity presented to us by the visit to Prance of our excellent brother, Mr. George Glanvill, a consistent and tried friend of liberty, beg respectfully to tender you, however inade quately, the high sense we entertain of your tran scendent merits and your heroic devotion to the sacred right of freedom and humanity. We refer not to the present state of affairs—we regard the past. We behold you in circumstances in which patriotism, piety, firmness, disinterestedness, and every lofty virtue were tested, and through which august trial you came forth pure and ir reproachable, crowned with the wreath of victory, and nobler still, loaded with the blessings not only of France but of mankind. Words cannot ex press how our hearts palpitated, our bosoms heaved, our hopes and our wishes turned to you and your noble compatriots during the eventful period in which you guided the destinies of your country. On your judgment, your firmness, your generosity, the purity of your motives, depended the safety of France and the interest of freedom throughout the world. Your countrymen confided to you a sacred trust—nobly did you redeem it. During the whole course of lour administration, Peace, Liberty, and Fraternity shed their ce l es ti a l i nfluence over the nation; France presented to all Europe a spectacle as grand as it was benign ; and as the decrees of the Provisional Government appeared in quick succession, pregnant with the blessings of humanity and freedom, they were hailed by the wise, the liberal, and the good of every nation with feelings of unalloyed satis faction and delight. Inhabitants of a free country, we felt that, in your act, our interests were, to a certain extent, involved. By your heroic conduct, these liberties have been strengthened, and the glorious progress of humanity advanced. Accept then, benig nant sir, accept this feeble expression of our senti ments, this humble acknowledgment of our highest esteem; which, though it cannot enhance your fame, or enrol you higher on the list of those whose names, as benefactors of their race, caa never die, may yet testify that, in the bosoms of those whom you may never know, there will be retained while life shall last gratitude for your self-sacrifices, and wishes for your continued welfare and happiness. With senti ments of the profoundest esteem, we are, Honoured Sir, yours in the bonds of fraternity." N. de Lamartine replied as follows : " Gentlemen,—l beg you to return my best thanks to your countrymen. Justice comes ever from afar. We receive it to-day from England ;we may hope hereafter to receive it from our own country. You have rightly understood the character of our revolution. " The distinctive character of the revolution ac complished in France on the 24th of February, a revolution in which chance, the voice of the people, and my devotion to my country, gave me a share of power that I did not seek, was that of a revolution of reason,' and necessity of fraternity between all nations, and all classes of citizens, instead of a revo lution of hatred, revenge, and war. Therefore I trust with you, that God will bless the French Republic, which arose out of that revolution without conspi racy, premeditation, or crime. " You must not, like some timid and faint hearts, be surprised at the difficulties, distresses, and troubles, at the natural, though slight and passing commotions which agitated this country for some time after so great a shock. We have not yet had one twelvemonth's exercise of our new institutions. What are twelve months in this calendar of the World's History. What are twelve months in the life of a nation ? Those trees of liberty that you have seen, on your way from Boulogne hither, have not yet had time to strike their roots, and to put forth their leaves, and one ex pects that our popular institutions, 83 yet but barely defined, should already bear their fruits ! Time is required even for the works of God himself! He uses time as an element in his creations ! how much more then should time be allowed to the im perfect institutions of man! But if reflection be the virtue of Englishmen, impulse is the virtue of Frenchmen. They travel swiftly on their way, and will make good and rapid progres in the career of true and; sound democracy. See their Republic, which a few months back was but a revolution and a problem, is already a government. . We shortened the dictator ship in our own hands, we, the government of the first hour ; we decreed universal suffrage, we called into being and established the Constituent Assembly, our sole sovereign. The Constituent Assembly has made the Constitution. We thrice suppressed, and in three days, not only civil war, hut the war of labour, a war sprung from a misunderstanding between capital and wages. We caused the people to nominate the Executive power ; we have accepted the President they selected for them• selves, and whom they chose for the lustre of his name to confer on the Republic a baptism of additional popularity. The Constituent Assembly has fixed the term of its own duration, in order to avoid even the appearance of a conflict between the constituted powers. In a few days France will elect the Legisla tive Assembly; all the machinery of the Republic works regularly. War has been averted. Negotiations, con ducted with firmness, and, it is said, in concert, by your Government and ours. They will suffice, I trust, to protect Italy from internal anarchy and from invasion, which we might perhaps have prevented. Liberal constitutions and federations between the independent states of the Peninsula, guaranteed by European congresses, will most pro bably from the present termination of movements which we respected, but never instigated, as it bas been , advanced by some. France has no need to seek in war a bloody diversion. Her sense and activity, her prin ciples of cordiality and fraternity applied to the labouring and suffering classes, will, I trust, be made manifest continuously by institutions of assistance and benevolence, of colonization and labour. We shall, I trust, have a ministry and budget of frater nity I Such is the inward tendency of our new Re public ; peace is the outward tendency, not only of the Republic, but also of your representative Govern ment; both consulting in this respect the real interests of mankind. " This, gentlemen, is what I would wish you to take back as my only reply to those among your country men who have been pleased to remember my name and my poor share in the events which brought about, established, and directed the Republic in its early days. Tell them that France has thousands of citi zens worthier than I, but not one more firm in his de sire, that her Republic should be philosophy in ac tion ; that she should have a heart fbr her own chil dren, and a heart likewise for all people. Our Re• public must efface all national prejudices between England France ; for the lofty principle of that Republic is not a principle of national egotism, but the union of the human race in one family of nations i advancng under diverse laws towards unity of civili zation. RECEPTION OF THE ENGLISH AT THE HOTEL DE VILLE. On Wednesday evening the splendid saloons of the Prefecture were thrown open for the soiree offered to the En:lish party, who arrived in Paris on the sth and 7th. About nine o'clock the visitors began to assemble, and the arrival of his Excellency the Marquis of Normanby, accompanied by the Prefect, and surrounded by the principal members of the English party, amongst whom Mr. Lloyd, in the splendid uniform of a Yeomanry Cavalry officer, was very conspicuous, by several members of the National Assembly, and the principal French celebrites, was the signal for striking up the national anthem, " God Save the Queen," which was admirably performed by one of the regimental bands; this was followed by the " Marseillsise, and by "Rule Britannia,' all which were received with much enthusiasm. The saloons presented the most animated appearance from the predominance of the various splendidu t e h i e fo N rm a s . tional Guards present. of the French o ffi cers of the regular army a n d The refreshments were in gre a t pagnaen,dpwune e r l: d ic o e n s e , abundance.

But one thing was wanting to complete the animated scene—the presence of the fair sex, many of whom presented them selves, but it appears that the notice countermanding their presence, in consequence of the death of the sister of the Prefect, which prevented his lady from receiving company, had, by some error, not been attended to in time. The Prefect, however, gave an assurance that he , should avail hi mse lf th e very fi rst opportunity to repair L the disappointment. —, Shortly after twelve o'clock the company, whioh amounted to at least 1,500 persons, began to separate, highly delighted with their reception.—Galignam. of t E X A MINA TIONS niversity UNIV ERSITY OF LONDON.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.--At the seventh repre sentation of Masaniello, on Thursday, for the first extra night, a most extraordinary tour . de force was accom plished by Salvi. Mario being ill, the notification of which did not reach the theatre until a lute hour, Salvi, only three hours before the performance, was asked to sing Masaniedo. He played it three years since at St. Petersburgh, but with other words, and the opera much altered. Despite of these drawbacks he achieved a great triumph, and was encored three times, namely, in the opening barcarolle, in the duo with Massol, and in the air of Sleep, in the fourth act. He acted with the greatest spirit, and at the close of the opera, w•as recalled before the curtain and cheered for his exertionoe ST.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRR.—A fire, attended with very destructive consequences, broke out tins mornin Po twe.n one and two o'clock, on th.t premises of Mr Gadstl—st very large printing• office, situate ii Bouvt rie• street, Fleet -street. The flames burst forth from one of the 61st floor windows, and in a h w moments the entire building, consisting of three stories and the basement, . was in an entire blaze. From the fact that a large quan tity of paper was contained in the two upper stories, the fire proceedld with great rapidity, and the whole neigh bourhood was illuminated for a considerable distance. Several portions of the paper rose in flames to a great height in the air, some of them descending on to the roof of the extensive chemical works of Gale and Co., immediately opposite, and fears were at one ti me ent?r tained for the safety of those buildings, from the in flammable nature of several articles contained thereto, and one engine wss kept constantly playing on theca. The premises of Mr. Gadsby consist of two divisions—. the machine and composing departments, and a party. wall being b. tween them saved the machiue-room from sharing the fate of the composing-rooms, which, with their contents, were totally destroyed. By great exer tions the fire was confined to this premises where tit originated. No information could be obtained as to its origin ; but it is believed that the whole of the premises are insurtd. \ Shortly will be published, in 3 vols., pest svo., price 215., - LIXCITEMEN T.
