The House of Commons was engaged last night from a quarter, before six to half-past one, with another dis c.ission on the income tax. On the motion for bringing the" Report, Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved a series of resolutions consistent with last year's budget, and sup ported them by au able I.peeeh. The discussion was not remarkably animated till Mr. SHIEL made an effective speech at eleven o'clock, which hit Sir F. BURDETT, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and the Ministry extremely hard. The Right Honourable C,,ntleman contrasted the demand for an income tax with the pacific assurances of her MAJESTY'S speech at the opening of Parliament, and made the House feel that the demand was not warranted by the circumstances of the country. Nor was the Right Hon. G2ntleman less efficacious in contrasting the situation of a rrofessional man, with a man of landed property; and maiming the injustice of the income tax painfully :apparent. Mr. SHIEL evidently stung Sir R. PEEL, who, rose to :?ply after a motion for an adjournment had been put, I:rid persisted, in spite of some opposition, which must • ,uvince him that ha will not find all smc,oth water and Mr gales hereafter, in speaking to .the main questicn. Ti.n Right Hon. Baronet, as usual, founded his strongest arguments in the language of his opponents. He bean with a quotation from a speech of Lord JoHN RUSSELL, and ended with one from Lord MELBOURNE. He made out his case more by their statements than by his own arguments. -He was, however, eloquent in praise o: cheapness and giving employment to the people, as if he had not just passed a law to starve a portion of them by the high prices of corn every year. He de fended the proposed timber duties, and he proposed du ties .on cattle, and asserted very vehemently that he does not mean to raise the latter. He appealed, how ever, beseechingly to his agricultural friends for sup p..)rt, and they by their cheers promised to throw the farmers overboard, and stick to their party. At Half-past One the debate was adjourned till Monday. Mr: T. DUNCOMBE, last night, made another spirited at 'empt to procure a hearing for the people on the sub jet of the income tax. He presented a petition against from inhabitants of the metropolis, and after the ?FAKER had called order, and stated the rule of the llause, Mr. T. DuNcomnz respectfully declined to sub mit to his dictum, and proceeded to take the sense of the House on the question, whether or not the petition hOuld be received. • The SPEAKER admitted Mr. DuscomßE's right to do so, and declared that it was not for: him, but the House, to decide what petitions it would receive. Mr. DUNCOMBE, therefore, persisted and stated tLlt, on being entrusted with any other similar petitions be should take • the same course. The Honourable Member had obtained a strong muster of his friends, and though the Whigs, more sensible, as usual, to the forms o t the House than to the welfare of the people, did not support him, he would have succeeded had the ques ti,in come to a division. Mr. KEMBLE, aware of that, moved the adjournment' of the debate till Monday— Ai-taking some invidious remarks bout a " side wind, &c.—which was carried. The question therefore is still ',pen for discussion and for decision, and we trust the Liberals will assemble on Monday, so as to ensure at least a numerous minority. As we know that Mr. DUNCONBE will be attacked in the Press, as he has been already attacked in the 1.3. 'use, it behoves us to vindicate his course. We shiuld not be disposed to say much in its I.vour, did the House of Commons deserve the public r. spcct. But that House being now a mere party instru ment, engaged in perpetrating mischief, the public wei r:re—the paramount consideration, warrants the employ ment of all reasonable means, whether technically cor rect or not, to check its career. The Tories are making it hateful to the community, and it is for the public ad tntage that it beat the same timo made contemptible. It can best be rendered innocuous by being made impo teat. The Tories are not to have exclusively the advan t.vges of its vicious formation. We do not condemn that smuggling which 'renders vain an unjust system of protective duties ; neither can We do aught but praise a cunning contrivance which thwarts or upsets a tyranny. By'dint of the basest andering to the most ignorant prejudices; by dint of the most scandalous frauds, the Tory party has placed its &lief at the head of affairs, and he has plainly avowed he means to govern by the help of his majority for party purposes, and in a tyrannical manner. In 1 pA'suatice of his oo,:cct, which we can only cha .rAeterise as a combination o f tr i ck and audacity, 1):: , has taken advantage of an almost forgotten practice of the youse of Commons, to stifle the voice of the people. For the public welfare he ought to be de f.ated, and Mr. DUsCoMB E has add e d to the claims he already has on the gratitude of the people, by his soirited and judicious attempt to place the petitions of his constituents on the table of the House of C ommons. The Tories may now learn what sort of passions they SAT rousing, and what sort of w,?ttir)ons they are now D.t it 1:),2 admitted th a t sharpening foi• the combat. they can have recourse to similar arts, and being a majorit u ,7, must be sucssful, and may carry things with .. . . . • --• .4 high hand,. they .cannot Sl,Lcceo with .. the country. 17? ',Nrtlither is it consistent with Conservative polic):.;For ttie safety of the aristocricy the political passions should be lin•itted to sleep. The whirlwind sweeps from the earth lofty t• r.i ersand trees, and spares lowly huts and bend ing sh rubs Grbs - a..ive p o li cy . e.: ?. : :1.... .. , -i .! cettki ,- ;•.1 , - in the conntry il...nd s well as in Pairliti.w . , 4 , ern. IL t; ire ' S that Sir Eoekarx PEEL and his f r i ends should be' most; i speciously moderate pea to and most systematically calm. None but revolutionists can gain by throwing society into a ferment. The Con servatives have got all they can get, their object is to bold what they have got, and every kind of agitation such as that, Sir 11. PI EL has 'excited in the country, and is exciting in Parliament, must be fatal to their power. The advantages of an exciting policy must, in the end, belong to the opponents of the Conservatives. In another part of The Sun will be' f oun d severa l letters respecting the election of a successor to Mr. CHALMERS, the present Member for the Montrose Dis trict of Burghs. Owing to the bad % state of his health h e intends to resign, and recommends as a legacy to his constituents a gentleman of the name of CEAI:NEGIE to supply his place. We have no wish to interfere with the choice of the electors. They can judge for them selves, but it appears from the correspondence that this candidate does not come forward of his own accord, but is placed in opposition by some cause or another to Mr. HOME, the most useful Member, without exception, that ever sat in the House of Commons. Mr. HuitEis a native of that district; he has done great honour to his country by his independent conduct in Parliament ; he has never solicited place or pension for himself nor for any one of his party, and during the last twenty years has produced, by his indomitable spirit and untiring per severance, more important changes in the financial affairs of the country than was ever eftected by any individual. This is a matter of notoriety admitted by his foes as well as his friends ; and we should therefore regard with . great regret any attempts to bring forward an obscure country gentleman, or tradesman, to keep out of Parliament one who has ' . so many claims to the support of his countrymen. During his long and useful career no questions were agitated of such im portance as tho.rc now bef N ore the House of Commons — no man, at the present time, is more acquainted with the trade, commerce, and finances of the country, and any constituency which would reject him for an un tried candidate would commit an act of great injustice themselves as well as to their country. In several points we did not agree with Mr. HUME as a Member of Parliament and more particularly those which related to reductions in the Army and Navy ; but circumstances are now altered —he, as well as many others who advocated economy in times of peace, must now see good cause for exertion and for maintaining the honour and dignity of the country. when threatened from so many quarters, and would be the first to support energetic measures for meeting the difficulties with which we are surrounded. When we look, too, at the feeble lesistance made to strange innovations by men Calling themselves Liberals — when O'CONNELL is silent, Lord J. RUSSELL is luke warm, and few are left to fight the battle of the people, we may be excused for expressing an anxiety for the return of a man who, in the Tory reign of Ltvrt Poor. and CASTLEREAGH was ever undaunted, and persevered in his determined purpose till eves - the Totten'. borough representatives were obliged to yiekto .c.)ni4they denounced as'a visionary Radical and a bikted vator. Mr. T. DuNcomßE is almost the °atone the. old Liberal party that remains firm to theltopie. He. wants the support of such a Colleague as JOiwn and if we do not mistake the Scotch charaeter, he will not want it long. Sir Ron Era PEEL'S modified Starvation Bill passed the House of Commons oa Thursday without a division. As only ninety voted against the third reading, the ad vocates of a free trade in food saw the inutility of pro tacting an opposition which would be sure to be borne down by overwhelming Whig and Tory majorities. In the early part of the night Mr. COBDEN sought to get rid of the BHT altogether by his motion, to the. effect. that as Parliament could not by legislation raise the price of wages, neither ought it to raise the price of food, thus contending for its free importation ; but after• a rather interesting debate, his motion was lost by a majority of 150—only 86 votes being given for, and 286 against it. The opposition to the Bill would have been greater, but the House having voted the principle of an Income-tax, several Members of the Whig party were rather impatient to obtain - something in the shape• of an equivalent. That the slip: pery Premier having obtained the Income-tax, might wriggle out of his pledges about Corn and the Tariff, appeared by no means improbable to many Members on both sides of the House. There was there fore something of an impatience to pass the Bill, seeing that the Opposition was not strong enough to effect any modification of it, and that •Mr. CHRISTOPEUZR and his friends had no chance of extending its provisions for the robbery of the commercial classes. But the Bill has another and by no means silent ordeal to pass through before it can become the law of the land. We anticipate for it a stormy reception in the House of Lords. We have no doubt, however, whatever be the result, that the few friends of the people in that assembly of titled breae monopolists will fearlessly perform their duty to GOD and their country. Earl FITZWILLIAM, the Marquis of WESTMINSTER, Lord RADNOR, and Lord BROUGHAM will be sure to distinguish themselves on the right side. On the third reading of the Mutiny Bill an attempt is to be made to insert a clause to the effect that it shall not be lawful to inflict corporal punishment by flogging, in time of peace, on any private soldier or non-com missioned officer, save for offences committed on a line of march, or for theft. No reasonable objection can be made to this small modification, as experience has proved that severity is not always followed by the expected re sults, and that mimes formerly expiated by the most dreadful of all punishments have rather been on the decrease since the mitigation of the criminal code. Flogging now is not inflicted to one-fourth of the extent that it was some years ago, but this, in place of injuring the discipline of the army, has, from all accounts, had the contrary effect. A soldier, who has once been subjected to the disgrace rarely re covers his good character, he feels himself de graded in the eyes of his comrades, becomes altogether reckless of his conduct, and, from a repetition of offences, is generally at last expelled from the regiment. Sine flogging became less frequent, the condition of a common moldier stands much higher in public estimation ; he is not regarded as a mere animal, incapable of being influenced by any other motives than the dread of corporal punishment; and respectable young men, do not therefore feel the same repugnance to the service as they did when it was disgraced by the offscourings of our gaols, and by pu nishments which no mast of spirit could submit to without lasting shame. Why not carry the experiment still farther? The objections still urged against mitigation were made when HOZEILLY, MACKINTOSH, and other humane legis lators repeated, Session after Session, their motions for altering the criminal law, and every one of them has proved utterly groundless. Why then should not soldiers and sailors be treated like the rest of the community ? Humanity, kindness, and mercy often secure obedience, when severity and cruelty not only fail, but harden men in crime. Several officers justly boast that they have commanded regiments for many years without inflicting corporal punishment. NELSON avoided it as much as possible; and for that reason,more perhaps than his daring spirit, he became the idol of the navy, and a word of reproof from him had more effect than the brutal floggings inflicted by tyrannical and cruel officers. The present time is peculiarly favourable for the change. A vast proportion of the army is composed of young men of good character, greater perhaps than at any former period; and for their sakes, as well as to encourage others to enter, this degrading, revolting, and mischie vous mode of preserving discipline should at once be abolished.

ON The Committee on the Bill for Closing the Accounts of the Widget for 1840, were yesterday engaged on those of the Mi nister of the Interior. The Minister of the Marine has not yet sent in the documents for veryfying his accounts, the exa mination of which is consequently postponed. The Committee has nomiaated M. Etienne to be its reportcr. The Minister of Public Works attended the Railroads' Com mittee yesterday to impart all necessary inforMation on the lines intended to be followed. It was agreed that tho Govern ment should furnish plans and estimates before the Committee should come to any resolution. The Chronique of Liboume, of the 3d inst., informs us, that upon an order of the Ministet of the Interior, received by tele graph, the police had that day paid a domiciliary visit to the residence of M. Huerta, a refugee Carlist, formerly Chief of the Order of the Augustines in Spain, and seized all his papers, but M. Huerta hi.pself was not arrested. The Siecle gives the following letter from Algiers, dated the 30th :—" We have received news from the provinc e of Oran of which there are different versions, but which are unsatisfae tory, oven admitting the most tavourable explanation. 'I he f o ll ow ing appears to be rretty positive. General Bedeau, who had left Tbmcen with three battalions to execute a razzia upon a hostile tribe, had succeeded in his enterprise, and was returning• to head.quarters with his booty, when of a sudden Abd-el-Kader, who we were told a few days ago, had been abandoned by everybody, and be come a fugitive, appeared at the head of three to four thousand infantry, and fifteen thousand regular cavalry, who, accord ing to the official reports, had either perished in battle or come over to our standard. A battle ensued, respecting which the accounts are contradictory. Ac cording to one return we have sixty soldiers and seven officers kaled, according to another only four soldiers and one officer were killed. It is stated by some persons that Ahd-el-Kader, after having recaptured all the cattle taken by General Bedeau, followed the.army to Tlemcen, whilst others affirm that he fled with the loss of 150 men— .The, Gevernor-General set out yesterday on his expedition. During the "ablence . of die army the duty of the town will be performed by the militia, and a Colonel will act as Governor. The close of the winter has been very fatal to the shipping on our coast.

In the Spanish Chambrr of Deputies two pi ojects of law were presented on the 30th of March, the one to declare that the Ist of September shall be declared a national fete; the other, relative to the establishment of a line of steamers be tween Spain and the Canaries. The two projects were'referred to the respective Committees. The Espectador says, " The provisional deputation of Cadiz has sent an address to the Cortes, requesting that that city may be declared a free port, as the only remedy for the progressive decrease in the population of the city." A letter from Tolosa of the 2d, in the Phare de Pyrenees, says that General Radii will shortly go to Pampeluna, without prolonging his tour of inspection to Irun and the line of the Valley of the Bastan. The Castor steamer, which has just arrived at Toulon, brings letters from Algiers of March 27. General Bliguard was still at Algiers, but be would very shortly set out for the projected expedition. The bad weather had delayed the movement of the troops. The General is much annoyed at having been de ceived in going to Blidah to receive submissions, which have not been made. It is resolved to carry en the approaching campaign with vigour.— Commerce. THEIfSUN, LONDON, SATURDAY' MORNING, APRIL 9. 1842. S U:4 MARY lt' NEWS Am) apttztOn. " Who runs may read." rolizxGw.

Crawford gave notice that on April 21st he would call the attention of the House to the petitions for extending the suf frage. In reply to Mr. Escott, Sir Robert Peel said the informatioa which the Government possessed concerning the melancholy cir • cumstance in Affghanistan was not later than that possessed by Lb, public, chiefly derived from private sources. Colonel Fox called the attention of Sir James Graham to a pesti. ?ential burial.place called Enon Chapel, but Sir James could not in terfere ith it. The House then proceeded to the Report on the income tax, resolutions, ard was occupied with that subject the remainder of the evening. runzac OPINION. The Times observes, in rtforence to Mr. Wakley's speech on the Copyright question :—" We must express our regret that so useful a Member of Parliament a , Mr. Wakley should have permitted himself to speak disrespectfully of the writings of a man whom we supposed to have outlived the bad taste of a former generation, and to be now enjoying, in a venerable old age, a foretaste of that judgment which posterity will pass upon his works. De gustibus non est disputandum,—we have no right to complain of Mr. Wakley because he does not under stand Mr. Wordsworth poetry. If he thinks that "any one may make a very respectable poem out of an evening sky, dew, daisies, roses, and a rivulet,—if he despises the play of human feeling and fancy its what seem little things— we cannot help it, it is his own misfortune; but he is not com pelled to advertise his insensibility to the world. When he called down the laughter of the House of Commons upon lines which the public taste h's justly stamped with approbation, he would have dine wisely to remember that my buffoon could do the same with numberless passages of Shaispeare and MiLon. When he avouched himself able to produce as good poetry of his own, he did but turn the laugh against himself. Mr. Wakley is not obliged to admire Mr. Wordsworth as a poet; but at least he ought to respect him as a venerable man, who has in alt his writings shown himself the friend and zealous champion of the poor." The following is from the Post : —" It is said that you might have a tax upon all kinds of income, but stall so modify it that it should press differently, according to the nature and circum stances of the income, and therefore be more just. It is easy to imagine a nicely-adjusted tax of this kind, and to give it imaginative praise. We do not hesitate to say of it hypotheti cally, that if it were possible so to arrange the tax, and if it were likely to realise the sum of money which is wanted, we should praise it above all other taxes." The Chronicle contains the following remarks in an article on the subject of copyright :—" c A poet is a manufactures,' says the Member for Finsbury ; meaning thereby to be very generous towards poetical genius. We know, however, of no manufactured products in which all right of private property ceases as soon as they are forty-two years old. Those who level mind with machinery ought, at least, to prow it the rights of machinery. It is too much the tendency of the present time to regard the mental power as subordinate to the money power ; something which capital hires or buys in the market to do its work, but which is no more to be al lowed a substan►ive existence in society than the emanci pated negroes are to become the proprietors of the West India Islands. Mr. Macaulay's amended edition of Lord Mahon's Bill will not reform the moral disorder that exists, but it may nevertheless effect a little mitigation." The Herald says :—" The afflicting military intelligence from Affghani'tan has begot a strange demand from some of our conteml•,oraries. A Court of Inquiry is sought into the conduct of General Elphinstone. Now, in the first place, when we get Gen. Elphinstone and his companions out of the hands of the Affghans, and know something more of the oc currences in detail which led to the capitulation of Cabool, the assumed breach of its terms by the Affghatis, and the slaughter of the Anglo-Indian army, and the capture of its Commander and some of his subordinate officers, it will be time enough to talk about such an inquiry. At present our ignorance of these particulars ought effectually to restrain any such precipitate demand. The conduct of General Elphinstor e may net be so pusillanimous when this whole truth is known ; and even if it should the authorities who bestowed the supreme command in Affghanistan on that officer will then be far more obnoxious to reproach than the General himself."

B. and R. to take half the remainder for conducting the business ; the remaining half to be then divided amongst the Shareholders. There can be no doubt that the whole amount will be subscribed this week, and that the new bank will be opened before the close of the month. Tut rnons'er of the deep, which was found in Totland Bay, near Yarmouth, Isle of 14 fight, by the Coast Guard, has been claimed for the Crown by the Vice-Admiral of the Isle of Wight, and ordered to be sold by public auction on Friday (this day); it i s 7 2 f eet i n length rum 33 in girth, and a male, or, as the seamen term it, a bull whale. The boilers, used by the barque Ariel in her whaling voyage are now at Cowes, and it is expected that some speculators from that port willTurelykse this fish, and take it there.

COPY OF CORRESPONDENCE RESPECTING THE REPRESENTATION OF THOSE BURGHS. (No. 1.) Forfar, 26th March, 1842. Sir —I have been requested by a general meeting of the Electors for the burgh of Forfar, held to-day, to inti mate to ycu that Mr. Chalmers has intimated his inten tion to vacate his seat immediately after the Easter recess, and to add that the electors of this burgh have at present no gentleman in their view to succeed Mr. Chalmers. I have further been desired to inquire whether, with the prospect of probable success, you will feel disposed to offer yourself as a candidate, anil personally to contest the election with Sir James Cearnegie, who, it is under stood, has started. It it proper for me to state that there are 301 registered electors for .this burgh, who will act nearly with unanimity in voting for the candidate of their choice. The electors in the other burghs are nearly as follows—Arbroath, 387 ; Montrose, 366 ; Brechin, 222 ; Inverbervie, 33. It is believed that there will be considerable division in these burghs ; hitherto the majority has always been decidedly liberal. I have addressed a similar communi cation to Thomas Gisborne. Esq., Henry Warburton, Esq., and Right Hon. E. J. Stanley.—l am respectfully, Sir, your very obedient humble servant, (Signed) -- JOHN BOATH, jun. Joseph Hume, Esq., Bryanston-square, London. (No. 2.) Bryanstone- square, March 29, 1842: Sir,—l am this day favoured with your letter of the 26th, inclosing a printed copy of resolutions agreed to at a generel meeting of the electors of the burgh of Forfar on that day ; and requesting to know whether " with the prospect of probable success," I will feel dis posed " to offer myself as a candidate, and personally to contest the representation with Sir James Cearnegie:" In reply, I beg to say'that I am not disposed to enter into a contest anywh,re : but far less in the Angus Burghs, which I su long repreented and where I am so thoroughly known. I have no personal ends to serve by being in Parliament ; only a belief that my services were desired would induce me again to enter the House of Commons. I did so, it certainly would be agreeable to me again to represent my old friends in the Angus Burghs : but I must be satisfied that a majority of the Liberal electors prefer me, and that no personal canvass, or expenses beyond the legal ones, will be required of me, betbre I can offer myself as a candidate for the ho nour proposed.—l remain, Sir, your ebedent humble servant, (Signed) JOSEPH HUME. John Boath, jun., Esq. Forfar. (No. 3.) • London, April 2, 1842. Sir,—l have this morning received your letter of the 30th ult. requesting to know if I will come forward as a candidate for the representation o: the Angus Burghs. My letter of the 29th to Mr. Beath, jun.. will have in formed you of my sentiments upon this subject. Only on the conditions therein named could I consider it ho vourable to the constituency to elect, or creditable to me to become again their representative. After having sat in Parliament the last ten years, without ever canvassing a'n elector, I cannot return to the House of Commons on any other terms than those before stated. If such are offered me, I shall be proud to resume my seat for my ancient burghs ; and Forfar will, I doubt not, from the kindness formerly shown to nva there, be a fa. vourable exchange for the hostile magistracy of Aber. deen.—With thanks for your obliging comm u ni ca ti on , I remain, Sir, your obedient humble servant, (Sighed) JOSEPH HUME. Mr. John Adam, Forfar. (No. 4.) Forfar. April 2, 1842. Dear answer to your commuilication of the 29th ult. I beg to say that a public meeting of the elec tors of this burgh was held last night, when the follow ing resolution was moved, seconded, and unammously adopted, viz.:— " That this Meeting express their satisfaction that Joseph Hume, Esq., has stated his willingness to become a candidate for the representation of the Montrose Dbi triet of Burghs, if preferred by a majority of the Libe ral Electors, ttnl put to no personal canvass or ex penses, beyond the legal ones. " That this Meeting agree to support Mr. Hume, and considering his very long and faithful public services in the cause of the people, they think it their duty to put him to.no trouble in regard. to a personal canvass, or to unnecessary expenses as far as the constituency of For far are concerned--and to further these Objects the electors present who agree to this resolution shall sign a declaration to that effect, and also a requisition to Mr. Hume, to become a candidate,. _ "'That a Committee be appointed, &c." The Committee consists of the whole of my brother Magistrates and the most influential portion of the com munity: Only a few hours, were occupied last night in waiting on the electors, and of, all that were visited only seventeen refused to sign-172 appended their names—a good number more will be got in the course of this day. Our constituency numbers about 290, so it is evident no other candidate has any chance here. The resolution has been transmitted to the other burghs. Your friends here are of opinion that your personal ap pearance is all that is necessary to ensure your return ; I therefore trust you will accept our requisition, and lose no time in coming to the district. It was deemed advisable not to send the requisition itself, as we safely calculate on almost every elector signing it in the course of the day. I may add that the answers of Messrs. Stanley, Warburton, and Gisborne were all read at the meeting, along with your., but no one was found to pro pose any one of them. , I am, dear Sir, your most obedient servant, (:igued) JOIIN BOATH, jun., Provost. (No. 5.) . London, April 4th, 1842. Sir, --I have this morning received your letter of the 2d instant, forwarding to copy of the resolutions agreed to at a public meeting of the electors of the burgh of Forfar on the preceding evening. The terms of these resolutions and the subsequent re quisition, fulfil the conditions stated in my letter of the 29th of March to you, as prOper to render my political connexion with the burghs honourable to both parties. Whenever the electors of the other burghs shall, in the same manner, signify that they prefer me, I shall declare myself a candidate for their suffrages ; and, on the issuing of the writ fur the election, @hall proeeed to the burghs to enable me to meet the electors and inha bitants in each burgh before the day of election. Allow me to thank you for the manner in which you have made these communications, and to remain, Sir, your obedient humble servant, (Signed) JOSEPH HUME. To Provost of roffltt, Le. eeutingOtli l the Electors of the Burghs (o. g.) At a John Gen Be General tjn of Montrose, held in the Guildhall, on the evening of Friday the Ist of April. • Mr. R. Lindsay was called to the Chair. The Chairman prOcloced and read letttrs to Provost Boath of Forfar', film Mr. H ume , M r . W ar b ur t on , M r . Stanley, and also the address of Mr. Carnegy to the electors. After deliberation, it VMS moved by Samuel Clark, Esq., and unanimously agreed to, " That the Committee formerly named be instructed to communicate to Mr. Hume, that the meeting strongly and unanimously ex pressed their wish that he would make it convenient to meet the electors in public meeting in the different burghs—and further to communicate to Mr. H., that the only candidate who has yet appeared for the repre sentation of the burghs, is David Carnegy, Esq., of Craigo. The meeting resolved and instructed that the resolu tion be communicated to the chief magistrates of the othir burghs. P. LINDSAY, Chairman. (No. 7.) London, Arril 4, 1840. Sir r —l am this day favoured with your letter of the 2d inst., communicating a copy of a resolution unani mously agreed to at a general meeting of the electors of the Burgh of Montrose, held on the Ist inst. _ _ . My leiter of the 29th of March to Provost Boath of Forfar will hare informed the electors of the conditions on which it appeared to me that my political connexion with the Montrose district of burghs could be resumed with credit to both parties. To a letter from Provost Boath of the 2cl inst. (No. 4) I have sent an answer (No. 5), a copy of which is here with enclosed, which I hope will explain in a satisfactory manner my views, and what remains to be done by the electors of the other burghs to have my declaration as a candidate and my appearance amongst them. With thanks for your communication, I remain, Your obedient humble servant. (Signed) JOSEPH HUME. To I'. Lindsay, Esq., Chairman of the General Meeting of Electors, Montrose. (\C°. 8.) Bryanstone-square, April 6, 1842. Dear have your letter of the 3d inst., suggest ing that I should come down and address the electors. I have been waiting the result of the communication I expected to take place between the several burghs. If the electors in the other four burghs manifest the same public spirit which Forfar has done, I shall not hesitate speedily to present myself amongst them ; but, as I at first told you, I cannot at my time of life com mence canvassing for my countrymen's suffrages. My opinions upon all political subjects are too well known to need being further explained ; and my past conduct in Parliament is the guarantee for my future course. Such as I am, if they require my humble ser vices, they are at their command ; but it is for the electors to decide between me and the other candidates. I return my special thanks to you and your brother electors for the favourable disposttion you have evinced towards me.—Beicee. me, yours sincerely, (Signed) JOSEPH HUME, To John Beath, jun., Esq., Forfar. • (No. 1.) (PitivATE.) Bryanstone-square , 22d March, 1842. My dear Sir,-1 understand that Mr. Chalmers resigns this week his seat for Montrose. I have been unwilling to undertake either the trouble or expense of a contested election ; but, if any constitu ency shall think fit to elect me, I will serve and go on as formerly. It would doubtless be pleasing to me to again represent the burghs, wh ere I so l on g sat, in spite of all Tory op position ; but I am altogether unacquainted with the state of the constituency, and only Mention to you my wishes in that wapleaving the electors to decide of their own accord.---nelieve me, yours sincerely: • (Signed) JOSEPH HUME. David Carnegy, Esq., Craigo. ,11;.;1 hay omv, acquaimedi with my having starved ivr these ksurgh..i, in the vacancy offered by Mr. Chalmers' retirement. I • have no doubt but you are already aware of that circum stance, and I have to beg your indttlf.rence for the neg lect; seeing this is my first essay at this advanced period of life, I trust you will grant it. I only started after having waited some time, during which no kandidate ap peared in the field, of either party ; and dreaded, if lon ger delayed, a Conservative might have shown himself, though I don't think with much prospect of success. In, the movements that have taken place in the burer.s lately, there is (and particularly in Forfar) a strong feel ing in your favour. If I had thought there had been any chance of your coming forward, I am the last per son on earth to have anticipated you, and you should most certainly have had my support ; but as the matter stands my retiring would probably create a • great confusion, which might lead to serious loss to the Liberal interest. When I started, it was at the urgent pressing of some friends—Mr. Chalmers being one of them—and upon the principle of danger, that by further delay might accrue to the independence of the burghs, that I did at last start. I can assure you I feel uneasy in the situation I am placed in, and the having to attend Par liament and living in London at a distance from my family, would be to me a great sacrifice. Still as a matter of duty, I have offered myself to the electors — have met hitherto a kind reception, and will fight the good fight. A split in the Liberal interest is much to be deprecated, as it might place in jeopardy the indepen dence of the burghs, which I know you have as much at heart as I have. I shall be. glad to hear from you by return of post how you feel on the subject. I remain, my dear Sir, yours sincerely. (Signed) DAVID CARNEGY. Joseph Hume, Esq. (Address to me at Craigo.) (No. 3.) Bryanmfone-square, April 4, 1842. My de:•.r Sir,--Your printed address to the eeetors of Montrose district of burghs arrived by the morning, and your letter of the 2d instant from Arbroath by the evening mail. The first somewhat surprised me—l could not comprehend why you, who had objected to go to Parliament in your younger days, should have desired to do sn, at this time of day. When the intention - of Mr. Chalmers to retire, was communicated to me on the 22d of March, you were the only elector in the wit& district to whom I N% rote on the subject ; and, in that note, I stated to you, that I was unwilling to undertake either the trouble or the expense of a contested election : but, that if any constituency should think fit to elect me, I should serve, and go on as for merly. I also stated that I was altogether unacquainted with the opinions of the electors in the Montrose dis trict, as to a successor ; but, that it would doubtless be pleasing to me again to ri present the burghs, for which I had so long sat in spite of Tory opposition. I addressed that private note to you (on the 22(1, ex • petting to have your friendly advice and support as to any steps I might take in this affair ; and, certainly, I never anticipated your becoming a candidate yourself. This much to remind you that I was undoubtedly in the field before you—not as a candidate indeed, nor, except called upon by a majority of the electors, do I so con sider myself now— and, were I certain that a majority preferred you, I should not allow myself to be named as such. A day or two will settle this—meanwhile the electors ,of Porfar and Montrose, have expressed their desire at public meetings, that I should be Mr. Chalmers' successor, and as Arbroah and Brechin are, lam in formed, disposed to take the same course, I think you will be inclined to unite, rather than divide the Liberal interest. Trusting, that thin apparent momentary oppositiol may cause no breach of our ancient friendship. I remain, yours sincerely, (Signcd) 'JOSEPH HUME. David Carnegy, Esq., Craigo. (No. 4.) Dry:ins:one-square, Bth April, 1842. My dear Sir,—ln consequence of the various and con tradictory rumours afloat as to my conduct with regard to the representation of the Montrose district of burghs, I deem it necessary to publish what I' have written to several parties on the subject, to show exactly the course I have taken. My letter to you of the 22d of March being the first step I took in the affair, requires specially that it, and our subsequent correspondence, should be laid before the electors ; and I feel sure. you will have no objection to see it in print. - I remain, youri sincerely, JOSEPH LIU ME.

(From The Sln of Last Night.) t The extent of business in the English Funds has been trifling .o-day, compared with the two or three last. The -pur chases which were then made were chiefly for reinvesting the dividends now in the comae of payment, and consequently the principal operations now are the deliveries of the stock thus bought. Some barpins have, however, been made in the Long Annuities by an influential broker, which has given great firmness to the market.
