TO THE ELECTORS OF SHEFFIELD GENTLEMEN,—TiIe 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 for 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 hare taken Lote—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 %hick 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 tile 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 day to re-state the arguments by which each separate 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 lasses 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- I sides the question of the suffrage, In order to bring about speedily, though cautiously, a large extension of it. lily 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 Rethrm Act. Although we cannot hope to win and retain complete good govern ment itself without perfection in the means, yet we must not post pone all other reforms until those of the Constitution are attained. Our endeavours may at the same time be 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 been 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 of colonization. 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 inatitutions, 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 the whole subject of our colonies calls for a complete and immediate revision. While speaking of expense, 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 any o her; and to this maintenance of peace among her hitherto contending sons, our efforts mast he confused. If we do more, we shall do serious injustice to the people of England and Scotland, and resider 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, ane 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 Chnrch of England. I was can • eated as a member of the Established Churcn ; and after a care: ul consideration 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 veil', utte'ly independent of that o' any o her man. What, then, I have demanded for myself —the right that I hive vindicated in my own person—l dement 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 pu , 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 fa'se declarations ; you may create hypocrisy and discontent ; but at w rd of command you cannot make men believe. With this view, therefore, I am led to deprecate, on all proper occasions, every attempt to make establishments which exist for the purpose of promoting any peculiar religious opinion State establish ments. 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 feel hurt er to take offence when I find 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 Can be attained by you of the political character of the min you have invited; and an opportunity will, I hope, be soon afforded me Of explaining, to the satisfaction of all whom the matter may in terest, my present feelings and future plans respecting our domestic policy. Any exposition, however general, which emit!ed a reference to our foreign relations and policy would be indeed incomplete. lily belief on this subject is, that our true policy consists in abstaining from all idle intermeddling with the affairs of othe- 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 1530 to the present time, when compared with the history of Europe from 1793 to 1815, is the best argument which historical experience can offer in favour of leaving a people to regulate - and arrange for themselves their own internal affairs. Interference in 1793 kindled the flames of war over this whole world—a war unequalled for the blood that was shed and the wealth squandered in its terrible and disastrous conflicts. Non-interference in 18::0 has allowed Europe a chance of peace, and holds out to us a hope that the struggling people will, in every nation of the great European family, eventually attain the inestimable benefits of a well-regulated popular (lovern ment. I must end, Gentlemen, a I began, by expressing to you my hearty thanks for the honour you hare conferred on me, and by placing myself at your disposa', Er the coming election. I am ready, when it shall so pl use you, to present myself to your notice, aed suhmit to all sueli inquiry as you may think right. flaying nothing to conceal, I have up fear of inquiry. I beg to remain, Gentlemen, Your most obliged and faithful Servant, J. A. ROEBUCK. PUBLICATIONS. FRASE R'S MAGAZINE for MAY, Price 2s. Gd., or by post, 35., contains :-- 1.

Our corre spondent says, "She must have sonic very proficient gunners on board; for I have seen her exercise several times, and the second or third shot generally demolished the target." The Castor, 36, has returned to Chathan from Sheer ness, and was taken alongside the sheer-hulk to be masted,'and to complete her for commission. The Favourite, 14, corvette, Commander Alexander Murray, arrived at Spithead on Thursday morning from the coast of Africa; she has had a long passage, and has brought letters, an invalid or two, and dispatches from Sir Charles nothatn. She had not seen the Centaur; she brings no news. She was telegraphed to proceed immediately to Devonport to be paid oil; and she sailed agbiu at one o'clock. — The Fairy, royal yacht tender, was taken on the grav ing slip at Portsmouth, on Thursday.

A new screw for the Phoenix, steam-sloop was cast at Portsmouth foundry yesterday. It was a very complete operation, and is the second that has been cast there. It is made considerably stronger in the narrow parl of the arms than her former one. I'oRTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The Arrogant, 46, Captain Fitzroy, went out of harbour to-day in a sea-going state, and anchored at Spithead. Admiral Sir Bladen Cape), Bart., the Commander-in-Chief ; Captain Chads, C. 8., of the Excellent ; Captain Austin, C. 8., of the Blen heim; and a large body of officers from other ships and the Royal Naval College, went out in her to witness the working of the screw, &c. Everything worked well, especially the new cooking apparatus of Mr. Grant, which has been completed, and yesterday cooked the mid-day meals for the whole of the officers and men, amounting to 450 and upwards, and distils pure water at the same time at the rate of nearly a gallon per day per man. On the Commander-in-Chief leaving the usual salute was fired. The Arrogant will leave at day light on Sunday morning for Cork, where she will re• main a day or two, and then return here to fit finally for foreign service. Mr. John Penn, the eminent en gineer of Greenwich, the maker of the Arrogant's en gines, will go to Cork in her to watch the working of her machinery, &c. THE ARROGANT SCREW STEAM-FRIGATE. (AN OTHER AccouNT.)—The Arrogant had her compasses adjusted on Thursday, by Mr. Thompson, the master of the Victory, and yesterday morning she got up her steam. So much deserved praise has been bestowed on this splendid ship, that her proceeding to Spithead occasioned quite a sensation, and a large number of per sons collected in the dockyard and on the platform at Portsmouth to see her. At about eleven the Commander in -Chief, the Hon. Sir Bladen Capcl, with tho Hon. Chas. Elliot, and his flag-lieutenant, Mr.:Cochrane, went on board her. A number of ladies and naval officers, and many scientific gentlemen, also embarked in her. She went out against the flood tide, and progressed in the same excellent style that she did at her last trial, making at least 8i knots, though the rate was not tested. After rounding the Spit buoy a ♦ariety of ex periments were made with back and head turns, and she answered most satisfactorily. She was also turned right round in a radius little more than her own length, answering her helm admirably, and steering remarkably easy. Atter anchoring at Spit head the Admiral left her, regularand l f t . lino4in r . o f u o n r t - i when he received a salute of 17 guns from her heavy orkance. She was a little deeper in the water than at splendid appearance. w i t eoo.tihn her nr a f , p auxiliary steam - frigate.] Superb, 6teaul-fri. t s h h e e g h u a n d wal e ' everything rat i o ll n t a k board ta I: y e a r rd . last trial, e r . hammock s, dralweirngadld9seltttoi. in to-day, when she will be shells, which she w and after VS returning to Spithead sail for y C i o u r g k t o h n er S e u 2 n 4 da h y ou ni rs o . rni ng , loop went round Spithead to. before letving to tow the day, to try her machinery paid ile her b t a r d o v al a b n o c i e i, steam . 8 North Star. steam.frigate.lThe Ajax, 56, steam guard-ship; In the Steam Basin — R 1 Yacht; the Penelope, the the Victoria and Albert, and the Arrogant, 46, Sidon, the Itettibution, stud t h e T ermagan t, auxAilt Wind, S. by W.

CHARGE 07 CONSPIRACY.--T$E " SATIRIST" NEWS.. PAPER.-Mr. 111. Ansel!, the registered proprietor of the Satirist weekly newspaper, and Miss S. residing at Montagu.strcet, Montagu•square, were charged with having, on the 18th inst., fraudulently conspired to ob tain money from Mr. Henry Bevan. Mr. Ballantine appeared on the part of the complain ant, Mr. Hunter attending as counsel for Mr. Ansell, and Mr. Lewis, the solicitor, for the other defendant. Mr. Ballantire said the prisoners %ere charged under the 6th and 7th Vic.;c.96. The complainantwas a gentle man of fortune, having his country-house at Twicken ham. The female defendant had, without the slightest claim upon Mr. Bevan, commenced a systematic attack upon hire. She had filled the situation of governess in the neighbourhood of Twickenham, and had often seen the complainant, but no intimacy whatever existed be tween them, except a bare recognition in passing. The first of the proceedings commenced so far back as Sep tember, 1848, at which time she wrote to Mr. Bevan, reminding him of an application she had already made to him, that he would be her banker for the sum of 101. This letter he did not answer, and on the 15th of November she wrote another letter to the complainant, asking him if it would suit his views to have his im moralities with a third person (meaning a married lady) exposed to his wife and daughters, at the same time threatening an exposure of his conduct in a well known satirical journal, and that copies should be seat to the different members ot.his family. Lie afterwards received another letter from the same source, stating that the whole affair" should be exposed to his family, unless he consented to give the writer the money she required. On the 31st March an article appeared in the Satirist, in which an attack was made upon the character of a " wealthy Lombard-street banker," residing at Twickenham, &c., the writer having evidently thought that the present complainant was Mr. Bevan, the banker; but in that ho was mis taken. The Learned Counsel having put in several letters from the defendants, in order to show to the Court that they acted together, their common object being to extort money by threats, quoted the case of " The Queen v. Hamilton," in which Baron Rolfe ruled that if reasonable cause n ere shown the parties con cerned might be considered us acting jointly, and were guilty of tamp io sending threatening letters for such a purpose._ _ _ Henry Bevan deposed to the facts stated by the Learned Counsel. In cross•examinntion, the witness said he never authorised Mr. Fintnoro to offer her any money, but directed h►m to advertise for her address its the morning pap no, with the view of prosecuting her. lie never gave any nobleman directions to eller her morey. Mr: T. Fininoro stated thatja consequence of a coin mersication from Mr. Bevan, after the 7th inst., he went to the office of the journal bi question, and from thus oil to the male defendant's resieerce, at No. 7, Bennet. street, Stamford-street, Blackfriurs, nhere ho saw him on the 13 h, at a rich time his attention was cull, d to certain paragraphs contained in the SoVrisi from the 31st of March until the 7th iw.t. He told him be was instructed by Mr. B. van to app'y to him reqeetitrg "notices to correspondents" v 4 hen appeared in that paper of the above dates, and to take preceedings if any further att..cles appeered. The defendant replied that nothing libellous bad appeared, and he would ' take care nut to publish any libel. Fie also sad there were several letters in his possession which he intended to publish, and that the first of the series should appear in the next number. He then handed witness a number, and pointed out to him an article en titled " The Li'e and Adventures of Captain Aaron Smith," saying that was the form in which the publica tion would appear. Witness asked him if the letters had been delivered to him by a female, and his reply was in the negative. He also said that a female had called upon him on the 2d inst. respecting the notice to correspondents that had appeared on 31st March, but as she refused to give her name he declined seeing her. Witness then asked him if it was possible to stop the publication of the letters ; and although he was not authorised by Mr. Bevan to make any proposal, yet he thought that probably he might be inchued to submit to a little exertion in order to stop further publication ; upon which Mr. Ansell advised him nut to have anything to do with the parties, and having then asked him, whether, in the event of his client being induced to en tertain the idea of a compromise, he (Ansell) would be the medium of endeavouring to effect it, he replied, " so." The defendant then promised that the publica tion of the letters should be postponed, and that tbey should not appear without a previous communication with him. On the following Monday he received the letter produced from Bennet -street, informing him that the first of the articles alluded to would appear in the next work, at the same time furnishing the address of the female defendant, and informing witness that he was about to leave town, and would not be able to see him again upon the subject. Witness next went to the female's lodgings, accompanied by a gentleman, and he informed her that he had called respecting letters she had written to Mr. Bevan ; and en asking if she had any letters of his in her possession, she replied she had not, but that they were under her control. Witness then said that Mr. Bevan might be induced to give the 101. for which she had applied, if she gave up the letters, with a pledge that no further mea sures should be taken to annoy Mr. Bevan; and he also said, that should further annoyances cease, he thought his client might at a future day give a further sum. Miss Mills, in reply, stated that she considered she was entitled to the sum of 501., upon which he promised to communicate with Mr. Bevan, and write to her upon the subject.
