I say aperobation, .because I thus construe your incitation. Of my political life you have taken tste—and noting, have approved. You say that my past actions have been such as to win your confl denee. To those actsl must refer you; as the - best and meat com plete evidence of my.political opinions. Eighteen years ago, when for the first time I wee about to solicit the eunrages 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 concincoupon all tire great questions of policy %Thiel]. then occupied the attention of We 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 toy performance and my professions. The experience of many years has, I hope, made me wiser, and taught me the mode most conducive to the practisal application of the prin ciples which I profess---but from the principles themselves I have not departed. The years, that have elapsed Mace 1832 have indeed settled very few of the'questions which at that period interested and divided tt e whole people. We have advanced—and arc advancing—but at every step the contest of °pintoes ie renewed, and we have almost every day to resstate the arguments by which each separate victory has been obtained. OA the greht ' and leeding questions of cnnstitutlonal reform, though much has been done, much remoins 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 he brought within the Palo of the Constitution. Es cry statesman who really desires here after to provide for the well-being of tha people will seriously con sider the question of the suffrage, in order to bring about speedily, though cautiously, a large extension of it. sly 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 - `reely expressed, the ballot seems to me absolutely indispensable. In s'iort, thnugh 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 mast not post pone all other reforms until those of the Constitution are attained. Our endeavonrs 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 highestiMportenee -- Though, in my. opinion, a Governmen...anent On much directly to procure wealth aril comfort, for a peoehe et can, lied unfortunately does, do much improperly to di ex minish their substance, and thereby their comfort. Unnecessary pense—Unmeaning, mischrevous re. atrictions 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 mere, 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 inetitutions, 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 portiens 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, ono 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 mot o her; and to this maintenance of peace among her hitherto contending sons, our efforts must he confined. If we 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 transfer the whole wealth of England to Ireland, we should only create waste, idleness, and vice. A people must work oat their own regeneratiou, one acquire wise. frugal, and virtuous habits, by leading a wise, frugal, and virtuous life, The wealth that is not acquired by labour Is but teo 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 I am myself a member of the Church of England. I was edit • eaten' as a member of the Established Churn ; and after a care' ul consideration I have seen no reason to leave the fellowship of my childhood and youth. But this determination ha' been formed after consideration, and is the result of my own wit', uttc'ly independent of that of any seller man. What, then, I have demanded for myself —the right that I have vindicated in my own person—l d.man I fo al] others. I insist upon religious as well as civil liberty. If try mind he entnralled by arbitrary will, and Lot led by the suasion of meson, I am more a slave than If you put my body in chains. While I demand for all this freedom, which I have exercise I myself, I proceed set further. I hold every coercion on this subject impolitic, as well As unjust. You may compel to outward observance, and to fa'se declerations ; you may create hypocrisy and discontent ; but at sv ril of command you cannot make men believe. . 1 / 4 . 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 religions opinion State establish- Ments. In a country like outs, 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 I am not prone to feel hurt er to take offence when I find men differ from nit concerning, it. But though we cannot change at once what has been tong established, we can tar more easily prevent new steps in a wrong direction; and, therefore, to any extension of such religious estab lishments I shall direct unceasing opposition. Wiltin the narrow limits of an address like the present, I cannot do more than indicate my - views, arid touch upon the leading opinions I hold. From this general view, however, an accurate conception can be attained by you of she political character of the min you have invited ; and an opportunity will, I hope, Ise soon afforded me of explaining, to the satisfaction of all 'whom the matter may in st, my present feellego k and future plans respecting our domestic NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF "TILE BUSHMAN."

My belief en this subject is, that our true policy consists in abstaining from all idle intermeddling with the affairs of ono^ nations. Every flatten 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 the whole world—a war unequalled for the blood that was shed and the wealth squandered in its terrible and disastrous conflicts.

SUICIDE Dr AN lARTIST.—On Thursday evening Mr. Sender, a landscape painter, residing at 274, Strand, was playing a game of cards et his sister-in-law's, next door, when ho suddenly rote from the table, and begged to be ( xeused for a short time, as he had some business to execute at home. He then left the house promising to return in a few minutes. As he stayed away longer than was expected, a messenger was sent for him, who, finding his bedroom locked, looked through the key hole, ,when he saw deceased suspended from a hcok in the ceiling. The door was instantly burst op e n, and surgical aid obtained, but deceased was beyond human aid, as the vital spark had fled. No cause can be ass igned for the rash act, as deceased wasin comfortable circum stences, and had that day finished a beautiful landscape. He was only thirty, and has left a wife and two children to bewail his awful and untimely death.

It is made considerably stronger in the narrow part of the arms than hcr former one. Pone:Ewen - en FRIDAY.—The Arrogant, 46, Captain Fitzroy, went out of harbour to-day in a sea-going state, and anchored at Spithead. Admiral Sir Bladen Capel, 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, winch has been completed, and yesterday cooked the midday 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 mecLinery, tee. Tien 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.

After rounding the Spit buoy a variety of ex perments were made with back and head turns, and she answered most satisfactorily. She was also turned right round in a radius little more than hcr own length, answering her helm admirably, and steering remarkably e asy. Atter anchoring at Spithead the Admiral left her, when he received a salute of 17 guns from her heavy ordnance. She was a little deeper in the water than at her last trial, drawing 19it. 10in. aft, and 18ft. 4in. for werd. Her hammocks, stowed in a regular line round the gunwale, rather added to her splendid appearatese.

CIIARGR OF CONSPIRACY.—TIIR " SATIRIST" NEWS PAPER.—Mr. Ansel!, the registered proprietor of the Satirist weekly newspaper, and Miss S. Mills, residing at Montagu street, Alontagu•square, were charged with having, on the 18th inst., fraudulently conspired to ob tain money from Mr. Herry Bevan. Mr. Ballantine appeared on the part of the complain ant, Mr. Hunter attending as counsel for Mr. Ansel], and Mr. Lewis, the solicitor, for the other defcr.dant. Mr. Ballantine said the prisoners were charged under the 6th and 7thVic.,.c.96. The complainant was 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 barn 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 13th of November she wrote another letter to the e,omplainant, asking him if it would suit his views to have his im moralities with a third person (meaning a married lady) exposed to his wire 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 of his family. Ho 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 Satiriet, in which an attack was made upon the charaetcr of a " wealthy Lombard-street banker," residing at Twickenham, &c., the writer having evidently thought that the present complainant was Mr. Bevan, the banker; hut in th3t he 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 'sere shown the parties con cerned might be considered as acting jointly, and were guilty of felony in sending threatening letters for such a purpose. Mr. Henry Bevan deposed to the facts stated by the Learned Counsel. In cross-examination, the witness said he never authorised Mr. Finmoro to offer her any money, but dirt cted him to advertise for her address in the morning paptrs, with the view of prosecuting her. Ile ncver gave any nobleman directions to oiler het money. Mr. T. Finmore stated that in consequence of a com munication from Mr. Bevan, after the 7th inst., he went to the office of the journal in question, and from thence to the web) defendant's resiutnce, at No. 7, Bennet street, Stamford-street, Blackfriars, where he saw him on the 13:h, at which time his attention was called to certain paragraphs contained in the Satirist from the 31st of March until the 7th inst. He told him he was instructed by Mr. Bevan ,to apply to him respecting " notices to correspondents" which appeared in that paper of the above dates, and to take proceedings if any further attacks appeared. The defendant replied that nothing libellous had appeared, and he would take care not to publish any libel. He also said there were several letters in his possession which ho 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 Lite 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 refust d 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 inclined to submit to a litt:e exertion in order to stop further publication ; upon which Mr. Ansell advised him not to have anything to do ilith the parties, and having then asked him, whether, in tl.e 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, " No." The defendant then promised that the publica tion of the letters should be postponed, and that they should not app ear 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 lurk, at the same time furnishing the address of ,he 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 gentlemen, 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, skiii replied she had not, but that they were undeg her control. Witness then said that Mr. Bevan might be. induced to give the 101. for which she hall applied, if she gave up the letters, with a pledge that no further mea .ures 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 50/., upon which he promised to communicate with Mr. Bevan, and write to her upon the subject. Ho had previously asked her upon what grounds she made a demand of 101., and her reply was, as an old friend, and that had Mr. Bevan in the first instance acceded to her application, she w ould not have written the subsequent letters to him. When she mentioned an " old friend," it was in reference to the letters she had received. Witness saw Mr. Bevan afterwards, and on the 18th received a letter from the male defendant, requesting that the gentleman from his firm who called on Miss Mills would come to him at five o'clock, which he declined in consequence of other engagements, and in the meantime he took the opinion of counsel.
