CITY ELECTIONS. THOROUGH DEFEAT OF THE TORIES AT (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 93. —The Committee of Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, K. C. 8., yesterday evening called a pub lic meeting of the friends of that gallant officer, as well also of the electors of the Borough in general ; this was instantly met by public invitations that all Reformers should attend. The meeting was appointed for seven o'clock, but at an early hour the doors were surrounded by a dense crowd, though by sortie order or other from Rowley's Committee, they remained dosed until the hustings at the neighbouring part of the room were fully occupied b a band of their partizans. On the doors being at length opened y , the room was fully crowded, and Sir Charles with a few friends entered about seven o'clock. John Garrett, Esq., a ourig gentleman of the half-and-half Tory breed, was called to the chair - and this motion was seconded °Y Mr. Lang, a gentleman Of well-known high liberal opi nions. The Chairman endeavoured to address the meeting for the purpose of saying what they were assembled together for, but the clamour and hooting, the hisses and cries of " No Rowley," effectually prevented him from being heard, though Mr. Lang vainly endeavoured to obtain a hearing for him ; nothing, however, but dumb show was seen or witnessed, and on his sitting down, Mr. Lang again endeavoured to obtain his ear, in order that he might address the assembly to listen to all parties, but the Chairman determined, that Mr. Henry Deacon was in possession of the attention f the meeting. This young gentleman, who was lately reforming editor, and in that capacity acted as a secretary to a great reform dinner of one thousand electors, recently ratted round to the Tory side, and being in high favour with the party, wanted to make a speech, in order to propose a re solution complimentary to the gallant Admiral; not a word, however, could be heard beyond a yard of him ; and though we can bear testimony that he bore the scoffs of a thousand Persons with a smiling and good-humoured countenance, yet nothing more could be known than that the held a piece of Paper in his hand, which looked like a resolution, and which was seen to be handed to the Chairman. When he was tired, or when his wind was expended by bawling, he slipped behind the chair of the President, and a drivelling old gentleman of eighty, Captain Gourlay, must next step forward as the seconder. The only word we could catch from him was, that he was a reformer. This raised so hearty a laugh, that all his remaining sentences were drowned. The Chair roan now endeavoured to read the resolution, which had not been heard, and by the intercession of Mr. Lang with the meeting, it was tole Ably well understood as being complimen tary in a high degree to the gallant Sir Charles ; but mark now the tact and the preconcerted determination of the Party. The Chairman having a moment's hearing, without asking if any person had an observation to make on the reso lution, or any amendment to put forward instead of it, at once asked those who were in favour of it to hold up their hands. His party previously trained, put their hands before his eyes, and he declared the resolution carried. Every endeavour was made to show him that he was out of order in big irregular mode of proceeding, but without effect. This dumb show, in their opinion, would enable them to blazen forth to the public a resolution which they should show was Ileanimously carried, and was all the pretence, hollow and false as it was, that they wanted. Sir Charles Rowley then got up, and being toothless and windless, and wherewithal, by the conduct of his supporters, in high disgrace, attempted to be heard : this was quite useless. We were within twenty feet of him, and never could collect a syllable. But presently a faint cry of a cheer for the candidate, and a cheer for the chairman, were heard among the Lawyers and packed hirelings on the hustings, and the party slunk out of the room. A universal cry was now raised that Mr. Lang should take the Chair, but this had been provided against. The hirelings had been sufficiently paid to retain possession of the platform, after their superiors had retreated, but being unwilling that you should lose this account of the Tory defeat, we quitted ; but You shall have a further account to-morrow. A more dis graceful Tory proceeding we never heard of. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. Peel's Programme, whatever effect it may work in Eng land, has played the mischief with his Pseudo-Reforming friends in this country. They are thrown now exclusively upon ultra-Protestant support ; and that, divested of the rank and file of Popery, will make but a poor show at an election. The one thing, about which there can be no mis take in the whole of his wily Manifesto, is the declaration for maintaining the Irish Church Establishment intact, in all its broad-blown enormities. That simple paragraph. has confirmed the hostility of seven millions to his Government, and now, indeed, the cry of " Tithe, or tithe," will resound from one end of Ireland to the other. Those who desired to see the speedy end of the Tory rule, and to combine the Irish people together for that purpose, could not have prayed for anything more pat to their wishes than Sir Ro bert Peel's candid explanation. Let him now dissolve the Parliament as soon as he likes. If he is to have a majority, he must look for one in England ; for here he has none to befriend nor any to tolerate him, save amongst the wildest of the Orange fraternity. Lord Chandos may talk till he is hoarse, of all the good in store for the agriculturists. The farmers of Ireland are assured of this—that if the Tories can hold their ground, they will be forced to pay the tithes to the last farthing. This is the only promise made by the First Lord of the Treasury, which admits no doubt at all. It is in vain for landlords to require, for agents to inti midate, for candidates to wheedle and beat about the bush now. The pledge must be everywhere broadly and unequi vocally given of war against the tithe-proctor Tories; for no Catholic voter can support an adverse, or even a neutral candidate. God grant that the excitement and indignation which this stern death-blow to the hopes of the country cannot fail to arouse, may exhaust itself in Constitutional re-action ? This letter of Sir Robert's, if printed off in thousands and placarded all over the country, will produce more agi tation than ten proclamations of O'Connell. No doubt it will be circulated industriously with ample note and com ment by that eminent casuist ; and the infallible result must be, that every constituency which has a majority of Catholic electors, will return a member pledged to oust the pre sent Cabinet. Many thousands of Protestants will cue-ope rate for the same object, and Ireland will send eighty pledged opponents of the United Government to the next Parliament, should Sir Robert be the fool to change the de'il he knows for the de'il he dont't know. Before another year goes over, the clergy will be lamenting the loss of that Bill which their over kind friends in the House of Lords rejected. The bustle of election preparation is going on in all parts of the country. Mr. W}se has been put in nomination along with Mr. Barron for the city of Waterford ; they are both Catholics, and opposed to the Tories. It is confi dently expected that they will throw out Mr. Christmas, the Conservative Member, who was returned in 1832, in consequence of a division among the Reformers. Mr. Christmas has just put forth a confession of political faith, which has the ill fortune to give satisfaction to neither party. He is for an abolition of tithes, subject to certain conditions, not very well defined in his letter ; and he pro tests against a " factious opposition to any Government which his Majesty may think fit to appoint." The meeting at which it was resolved to support Messrs. Wyse and Bar ron was attended by a number of electors, including some of the most spirited and respectable inhabitants of the town. TILE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1834. DUBLIN ANTI-TORY ASSOCIATION. (Abridged from the Dublin Morning Register of Tuesday.) On Saturday there was a very numerous 'meeting of the members of the Anti-Tory Association held at the Corn-Ex change. E. S. RUTHVEN, Esq., M.P. for Dublin, in the Chair. THE ELECTIONS-DECLARATION OF THE TORIES-TITHES. Mr. O'CONNELL — The first subject for discussion is the late meeting at the Royal Exchange. I came into the midst of the excitement that prevailed there—l came quite cool and calm from a law discussion in the Court of Exchequer. Per haps, then, I should be regarded as the best witness au to the agitation and excitement which I saw around me. I will do the Orangemen the justice to say, that I did not see any one of them act as an outrageous ruffian, with the exception of Johnny M'Crea.—( Hear and laughter.) I only rise to state this fact—l came to the end of the table when he was figuring away. I put my finger upon my lip, and instantly the popular party were silent. All that were shouting a moment before became silent. I pointed out to M'Crea that the people were silent, and "that it was the Orange ruffians alone who were shouting. I told him, "it is your friends alone who are shout ing." " Perhaps so," said he. One of his supporters, who was behind me, exclaimed, " We will not hear you, if you do not lot him be heard first." " I understand you," I replied ; " those you call your friends will not hear him, lest there should be an excuse for honouring me afterwards, when I would ex pose him and you to the laughter and contempt of this meeting." —( Cheers.) And accordingly the Orangemen did prevent his being heard. I saw the people picking them out, and taking them one by one out ; but as to danger, there was no more than there is in this room.—( Hear.) Mr. O'Con nell then proceeded to report on the elections, which, it ap peared, were likely to turn out most favourably for the popular cause. The Learned Gentleman afterwards went on to say A new Administration has been formed. That Administra tion has given to us its political creed—it may be found in Sir Robert Peel's address to his constituents.—( Hear, hear.) I am bound to say I never read a document with more unaffected contsu'pt than I have perused that document. It endeavours hypocritically to disguise its real meaning, and yet it reveals the most frightful and atrocious principles, especially as far as this country is concerned.—( Hear, hear.) Sir Robert Peel does not in the least retract his former opinions ; he adheres to them, and endeavours to defend them. The document which I describe is a piece of political casuistry—it is intended to delude, and yet it sufficiently shows so much of depravity as to defeat its own objects. Let us look at what is done upon the formation of the present Administration. Its first act is the nomination of a Chancellor for Ireland. Who is the Chan cellor? Sugden—a thorough Tory—a man who would have put down Catholic charities in this country—a man who most certainly would have been able to have put them down, as he wished to do, had I not chanced to be in the House of Commons at the time.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) Yes— when I brought in a Bill to protect Catholic Charities, he opposed me, not because it was the law, but because he de clared the spirit of the law negatived the right to establish Catholic Charities.—( Hear.) I admit at once that he is a good lawyer—l admit most readily that he is an able advo cate, as he certainly is ; but then we, Irish—have we not good lawyers, and have we not also able advocates ?—( Hear, hear.) And yet, what a foul and abominable party that is which would submit and bow the neck, and crouch beneath foreign domina tion of every kind ?—( Hear, and cheers.) What ! is no Irish :'n as fit to be a Chancellor as an Englishman ?—( Hear.) . Why, tn.., Tories never have discarded that idea from their .. liave regarded an Irishman as fit to be a mind—they never . A change took place in 1805-6 Chancellor.—( Hear, hear.; —the Whigs came into office, ant : h ey appoint ed an Irish man as Chancellor, Mr. Ponsonby. They were put out of office, and the Tories came in again ; ann again they appointed an Englishman, Lord Manners.--( Hear.) The Tories were still in when he retired, and they appointed another Englishman, Sir Anthony Harte. The Whigs came in again, and, to do them justice, they appointed nn Irishman, Lord Plunkett. The Tories have again come in, and their first act has been to appoint an Englishman.--(Hear, hear.) And, what 1 is this bar so degraded that it will not call a bar meeting—that it will not remonstrate—that it will not protest against this insult? Is the spirit of Ireland so far quenched —is the love of father-land so gone by, that not one voice but mine will exclaim against this profanation of Irish talent—this degradation of Irish intellect—this outrage upon Irish learning and acquirements—that all, all must be passed by, and an Englishman placed over our heads. —( Hear, and cheers.) Oh 1 shame upon those who do not love their country.—( Cheers.) Oh I shame upon those who would allow any pitiful, paltry, miserable, political spleen to come between them and the genuine expression of their feelings 1—( Loud cheers. ) This is not the only person whose appointment we have to complain of in the tag-rag and bob-tail which have been sought out to complete the present Ministry. Who has not seen that Goulburn, that hurdy-gurdy Goulburn, has been appointed to the Home Department. The Home Department, forsooth 1 Protestant Dissenters of England do you understand that ? The Protestant Dissenters see, and I am sure do understand such an appointment as an insult to them. Goulburn would not allow a Dissenter into one of the Universities. He consi ders them unworthy of being admitted—he even gave us to understand that he would consider his son contaminated in the University by meeting Dissenters there. He said the Protes tant youths would be contaminated by those filthy Dissenters. He opposed that miserable privilege to the Protestant Dissenters. I do say, that the appointment of Mr. Goulburn is an insult to them.—( Hear.) His appointment is to me a proof, strong as human proof can be, that the new Administration design to rule with a rod of iron, and by military force ; for otherwise how dare they, by such an appointment, insult so powerful and intellectual a body as the Protestant Dissenters of Englani ? —( Hear, and cheers.) But recollect that while with the right a blow is aimed at the Protestant portion of England, there comes from the same individual a left-handed blow, which, like the blow of a left-handed person, with more power in the ' wrong hand than the right—it comes to smite down the Catho lics of Ireland.—( Hear, and cheers.) Could they do more to insult the Catholics of Ireland than by the appointment of Goulburu ? He who was the protector of Orangemen--the prototype of Orangeism—narrow, bigotted, and selfish—the friend of every abuse and the opposer of every reform ;—the appointment of such an individual could only be meant to show that the Administration is the enemy of the Protestant Dissenters in England and the Catholics in Ireland.— I now come to the Tory Manifesto. I say that never yet was ' a ~...ore Jesuitical document than that of Joseph Surface 'year hear, and cheers.) But he does not retract a Peel.— single one of hi: opinions. He says,—" Now, I say et epee that I will not accept power on the condition of declaring my self an apostate from the principles on which I have heretofore acted." There, then, a eortlotc avowal of all the principles which he formerly maintained; but, Opp, be, like himself, goes on thus :—" At the same time, I never v4ll admit that I Judicious re- been, either Were or Aftes' the Reform Bill, the Mender of abuses, or the enemy o f l - - 4 ;ciOtig re ( orilY , :" kratiti I--f Cheers.) forme 1 Why', he supported the rotten .' - * s--- He was a supporter of the entire of the rotten boroughs.— Ch -ers ) I would appeal to any of the Orange lads, if they understand a chapter of logic, if his argument does not resolve itself into a complete syllogism. " I never," says Sir Robert, was a defender of abuses ; I did defend the rotten boroughs ;" and it follows necessarily that the rotten boroughs were I.ot abuses.—( Cries of "hear, hear," with cheers and laughter. ) The next matter referred to by hint, to which I shall call your attention, is the Commission for Corporation Inquiry. One good thing can be gleaned from it, that the force of public opinion upon the subject was so strong that the present Admi nistration will allow the report of the Commissioners to be c.mapleted.—( Hear.) But what will he do when that report is completed. Here is his promise :—" No report has yet been made by the Commissioners to whom the Inquiry was afterwards referred, and until that report be made I cannot be expected to give, on the part of the Government, any other pledges •than that they will bestow on the suggestions it may contain, and the evidence on which they may be founded, a full and unprejudiced consideration." What a satisfaction that is. ( Cheers and laughter.) Why the King in his last speech from the throne, gave a pledge of Corporation Reform to Parlia ment. Whoever may be the monarch, whether the King or Queen, the King,we all heard him, pledged himself as far as he could, in his legislative capacity to both Houses, to that reform. ( Hear.) But Sir Robert Peel will give his no other pledge, than " a full and unprejudiced consideration." He will pre vent that reform if he can ; but I defy him.—( Cheers. ) Then as to the Dissenters, does he mention any concession that he will make to them ? He does not say he will let them into the Conservatives, or give them any thing,- no, he bestows upon them nothing but sweet words.—( Hear, hear. ) The only remaining part of his address which I think worthy of notice is, the determination expressed in it of maintaining the tithe-system in full vigour.—( Hear, hear.) he declares in the most unequivocal terms that he will not diminish the amount of tithes. He talks, indeed, of reforming the distribution of the Church patronage, but he says he will keep up the full revenues, and what care we for its distri bution, if he does so.—( Hear.) He says unequivocally, he will make the people pay the full amount of tithes. Pro testants of Ireland, are you for the pacification of the coun try, and yet will you allow this man to have at his com mand horse, foot, and artillery, that he may extort by force tithes which the people have determined they never will pay ?—( Hear, and cheers.) Will any man be found amongst the Catholics so base, so vile, as to be a voter for one or two who would uphold an administration, the supporters of the tithe-system?—(Hear.) Has not that system had vic tims enough already—has it not fed our gaols with many martyrs—has it not weighed down our scaffolds with many a wretch—has it not strewed our fields with enough of blood? No—the day before yesterday eleven fathers of families were shot to death, and eight or ten more have been des perately wounded.—( Hear, hear, and cries of horror.) Eleven fathers of families I I have a letter from one whose eyes be held their pale and lifeless bodies stretched in the chapel, side by side, whose ears were stunned with the wailing of the widows and shrieks of the children.—( Hear.) This letter tells me all this blood was shed for tithes. Oh I is, I ask, that system to continue ? Are we men, are we Christians, to permit it ? And yet here is an administration pledged to continue such a system.—( Hear.) I shall read you the letter of the gentle man who saw the dead bodies lying together :—" Rathcormac, 19th December. I have just come here to-day, and write to you to detail the dreadful slaughter that has taken place here yesterday. I write from the scene of action, and you may rely on what I state. The tithe campaign was opened here on last Monday. The papers will give you an account of that day. There was no one killed on Monday."—(Hear, hear.) One day and no one killed for tithes---this is considered re markable.—(Hear, hear.) " Not so on yesterday (Thursday). Horrible to relate, eleven shot dead, and many more wound ed."—( Hear, hear.) " I have just been at the dispensary, and such a sight (two certainly) of the poor fellows gasping, and all the rest badly wounded as far as to death. Thil, awful transaction occurred at Ballinakilla, parish of Bar tiemy, and Roman Catholic union of Rathcormac. The reople here say, that the army went bent on slaughter." I do not believe this of the army ; for I never knew the army, but as forbearing as possibly could.--(Hear, hear.) " '1 hey went on the lands and dared the country people at mid-day, who were assembled in numbers. Captain Bagley, Captain Colles, and the Rev. Archdeacon Ryder." I re member this Mr. Ryder, he tried his hand at the bar ; he was called soon after I was, but he did not succeed. There was Cowever a profession in which it did not require talent to suc ceed—he adopted that, and he is now the Rev. Archdeacon Ryder, instead of being a briefless barrister. " They were the three Magistrates in Cummana. The army was drawn up in a file of four deep in a boreheen" (that is a narrow lane), "at the entrance of a haggard. The country people were on the ditches. They (the country people) said that they wanted not to let the soldiers take the butts that stopped the haggard gap out of the way ; and that the only missile thrown was a cabbage stump. Captain Bagley read the Riot Act. A voice said, " Fire away to the devil, fire." The four first men fired and made a breach—four (..f the countrymen; their places were again supplied by the countrymen" (that infatuated bravery in men unarmed too I) " who were again shot in their turn. The matter did not end there, for even some of the country people were shot in the act of running away. Ryder is the new incumbent, and there are due to him only the tithes that accrued due since May till November last past; the tithes due up to May last belong to Collis, as next heir to Archdea con Collis, who died about May last ; the late Archdeaco,n Collis, I may as well state, was idiotic for several years before his death, and Ryder, the clerico-magistrate, was made Arch deacon and incumbent of this parish, for no other reason than that he and his brother, the Rev. Joshua, were both the tithe champions of the neighbouring parish of Castle Lyons, where, in 1832, they detained cattle in pound till nearly famished. It was this Ryder, as I think, that wanted the government to billet the soldiers on the people in 1832, to thus coerce them to pay tithes. I write in a great hurry. Suffice it to say, that this place presents an awful scene—the corpses corning into the chapel ; the bells tolling ; for the bodies, are all to be depo sited in the chapel—women screaming, and men silent, i n all the sullenness of dark despair."—( Hear.) There is a forci ble picture for you. See how eloquent nature is in a de scription of a scene of this kind.—( Hear.) If the state ment contained in that letter be true—l do not know whether it is true or not, and I cannot vouch for its accuracy—but if it be true, I have no hesitation in saying, as a lawyer, that a more unmitigated murder than that never has been committed. The parties that went there, had no right to break into the field to distrain—their doing so was a direct trespass.—( Hear, hear. ) Here were eleven fathers of families slain for a demand of 5/. in tithes I Two of them, lam told, were brothers—they lived in the same house together—each of them bad families. Oh I what has become of their wives and their children, and their mother ? They left them in the morning healthy and strong, with the perfect anticipation of enjoying together many future days of happiness--they are brought home before evening corpses, and they are laid down before all that loved them pale, cold, and senseless—they cannot hear the moans of the mother, the shrieking of the widows, the wails of the children. —( Hear, hear, mingled with deep sighs.) Oh Iby the blood of those victims I conjure every honest man in Ireland to rally with me against this Administration.—( Hear, hear, and long continued cheering.) Are there in Ireland mothers, and will not whisper to every human being they can influence --oppose the Tory Administration, which makes the wives widows, and the children orphans?—( Hear, and cheers.) Is there a baby that is lisping its prayer to heaven, and thinks, as it sighs in innocent piety, upon the woes of those who have lost their fathers—will even the babies not call upon us to drive from the Councils of the Crown those who would perpetuate scenes of blood and slaughter in Ireland ?—( Cheers.) My soul is harrowed, my mind is tortured, when I would carry my thoughts to the fire-sides of the poor men who have perished —when I think of their homes, lately so smiling, and now echoing but the groans and shrieks of the lone and desolate. —( Hear, and loud cheers.) And yet this is a Christian country, where the monstrous doctrine is propounded that such a system can be upheld I Are not eleven victims enough for the Moloch of tithes?—( Hear, hear.) And yet here is an Administration, with Sir Robert Peel at its head, proclaim ing that this is to be eternal.—( Hear, and cheers.) Let me not be mistaken. I call from this spot upon the men of Ire land—l call upon them every where not to weaken themselves by the commission of any act of violence.—( Loud cries of i‘ Hear, hear.") Let them take care not to give their ene mies nay strength by the violation of the law; but let them stand shoulder to shoulder, keep a firm determination, and mark as their bitterest foe, and worst enemy, him who would Hive a single vote to a supporter of the Peel and Wellington Administration. Let them look to the earth such a mis creant—let such a man be avoided as a plague—let him be regarded as a political pestilence—let the women gaze upon him as an object of detestation, and cursed of his kind must he be whom they detest—let his children abjure the da% that gave them such a parent—let the miscreant ap pear the hatred of all mankind—let him live a signal ex ample how degraded one can be who basely traffics, to him ger o for h the his sp sbsieonnesfitorofhims mankind and tahnadt the vi'hicghnaids ennfthruiastceadanto try.—( Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) I have had much to say upon these topics. These are the first fruits of the Peel and Wellington administration.—( Hear.) There is the first offi cial declaration of Sir Robert Peel, in which hypocritical words cannot serve even to conceal the real political integrity that is hidden beneath them. This is the first sequel of his holding office —( Hear, hear, and cheers.) There is his de claration in support of tithes ; and here is the postscript to the letter, written in the blood of this ill-fated country.—( Hear. It has been said he would be a Reformer. Yes; one who would retard all possible reform. That he will reform abuses. Yes, when he acknowledges them to be so. He will protect the source of every evil, and throw his shield over abuses.— ( Hear,) This will be his course in England—in Ireland we see the fell spirit already abroad. Let us not irritate it—let us be united, firm, determined—let thore be ng violence. There are seven millions of the population in this country—it is unnecessary for them to resort to violence to obtain any le gitimate object.—( Hear.) I shall conclude by moving that the committee be intrusted to propose an address, calling upon the people ant to return any members who are supporters of the sanguinary and ferocious faction in this country.—( Hear, hear, and long-continued cheers for several minutes.) Mr. COPPINGER was called to the chair, and thanks having been voted to Mr. Ruthven, the meeting adjourned to Tuesday.

At a quarter to five o'clock last evening their Most Gracious Majesties arrived at the Pavilion in their travelling chariot and four, with two out-riders, from London. A vast number of persons had assembled at the north entrance to the Palace and the adjoining neighbourhood, awaiting their Majesties arrival ; they were greeted with many hearty cheers as the Royal car riage passed. Prince George, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Wood, followed in another carriage and four. In the next were the Earl and Countess of Mayo, the Lord and Lady in Waiting. The fourth contained Sir Herbert Taylor, Mr. Shiffner, and Mr. Davis. At seven o'clock their Majesties, Prince George, Earl and Countess of Mayo, Lord and Lady Falkland, Lady Sophia Sidney, Vice-Admiral Sir Robert Otway, and the Royal suite, sat down to dinner, after which her Majesty's band performed until 11 o'clock with their usual ability.

To morrow evening Mrs. General Waddington will give a grand ball and supper to a nnmerous party of the haut ton. SIR FRANCIS BURDETTS ANSWER TO HIS CONSTITUENTS. GENTLEMEN,—In answer to a resolution come to by a Meet ing of the Electors of Westminster, at the Crown and Anchor, Dec. 12th, wishing to know my opinion on the late change of Administration, I reply, that as to the transaction itself— that is, how far it was compelled by necessity, or admits of justifi cation, or what explanation may be given of it—l can form at present no opinion at all ; but that it is a circumstance deeply to be lamented I have no hesitation in saying ; and since the list of the new Administration which is to replace it is published, I cannot say but I lament it the more. There is nothing in that list either to console or invite confidence, or to encourage hope. And with every disposition to unprejudiced candour with regard to public men, and my extreme dislike to party acrimony and injustice, I cannot but say, on looking it over, as my Lord Chatham is reported to have said on looking over a list of English Generals, which was presented to him for em ployment at the breaking out of his famous American war— " I don't know," said Lord Chatham, " what effect the reading it over may have upon the enemy, but I confess it makes me tremble. ' As to my support or opposition to the present Mi nisters, on my part, in case I should be placed in a situation of affording them either the one or the other, that must depend solely and entirely on the measures they propose—measures and not men was a doctrine I ever professed, and when Mr. Canning, thinking to cast ridicule upon that doctrine by one of his seeming witticisms, exclaimed against the cant, as he called it, of measures and not men—" As if it were the har ness," said Mr. Canning, " that drew the carriage and not the horses ;" to that I replied, that notwithstanding the gingle of words, and apparent smartness of the expression, like many flashes from the same quarter, there was really nothing in it ; for though it were true that the harness could not draw the carriage without the horses, it was equally true that the horses could not draw the carriage without the harness. I recall this little circumstance to mind, Gentlemen, merely to show that this is no new doctrine of mine, but, like every other opinion, sentiment, and principle I ever professed, the same now as it ever was ; and with a view, in some respects, shortly to answer a question put at the meeting by a worthy elector—viz., w}:ether I was the same man as I was twenty years ago ? I boldly and unhesitatingly answer, " Ay ;" and, much more, thirty-four or thirty-five years ago, the very same man as ever. Gentlemen, your faithful and very humble servant, FRANCIS BURDETT. St. James's-place, Dec. 22. WINCHESTER ELECTION. NORTH HANTS DIVISION. The battle has commenced for this division. Mr. Edward Knight, jun., of Chanton Park, near Alton, has had the temerity to step forward as the champion of the High Tory party, in hopes that the men of Hampshire have forgotten the glorious victory they achieved, not four years ago, over the faction who had held them in bondage for forty years. If & Lich be that gentleman's expectations he will be bitterly mis taken. At the last election Messrs. Lefevre and Scot, the present Members, polled over their opponents, the Marquis of Douro and Mr. Long, above six hundred votes, and the ma jority would have been much larger had the polling lasted another day ; hut the Conservative Candidates finding they had no chance, sent in their resignt tion at the end of the first day. Mr. Knight yesterday canvassed Alton, his own immediate neighbourhood, but met with very indifferent success. The return of the present Members may be considered certain. WINCHESTER. The canvass for this city has been completed, and she three Candidates, Messrs. Mildmay and Baring, the present Mem bers, who are tried Reformers, and Mr. Buller East, the nominee of the Duke of Buckingham, have each in their farewell addresses to the electors expressed themselves con fident of success. The address of Mr. W. B. Baring has given general satisfaction, in which the Honourable Gentle man recapitulates the principles which he intends to support in Parliament. He professes himself an advocate for Church Reform, Municipal Reform, and the removal of the disabilities which affect the Dissenters. At the last election he polled one hundred votes over Mr. East ; and although the Cathe dral, College, and Corporation are again exerting their in terests for the latter, there is no doubt but that he will again be returned. Mr. Mildmay's election is by all parties con sidered certain. Winchester, Dec. 23. TAUNTON ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir—l am authorised by the Conservative Committee in this town, who assisted Mr. Gore in his late canvass, to in form you that the statement which appeared in your paper re lating to the cause of that gentleman's abrupt resignation is totally devoid of truth ; and they call upon you to act that part which justice demands, viz., to contradict it in your next paper —and further to give insertion to the subjoined letter, which is a copy of one received by the Committee from Mr. Gore himself, which fully absolves both that Committee, and the electors who supported him, from all blame and from any charge of deceit or misconduct. As you have given admission to one side of the question, by publishing some remarks harshly reflecting on the Conserva tive interest, it is but right that you should insert a statement on the other side, as a defence of those whom you have so vio lently attacked. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, R. C. TRENC HARD, Hon. Secretary. Taunton, Dcc. 23, 1834. The Conservative Committee having forwarded to Mr. Montague Gore a copy of certain resolutions entered into by the electors of this borough, who had promised that gentle man their support, have received from him the following letter in reply : (COPY.) " 8, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, Dec. 17, 1834. " SIR,-1 have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, communicating to me the resolutions passed at a meeting of those electors of the borough of Taunton, who have promised me their support. " I am apprehensive that some apparent coldness in my manners has led to the conclusion that I was lukewarm in the cause, or indifferent to the kind support I expe rienced. I can assure you that such was not the case, and that the fatigue I had undergone, and the exhausted state of my strengt h , a l one prec l u d e d me from expressing ' in warm t erms t h e d eep sense o f gra t i t u d e I entertain. " I pledge my honour that I was not induced to withdraw from the canvass by any dishonest or sinister motive, nor by any communications from other parties or places. My resolu tion was formed in a moment of excitement, and from taking a less favourable view of my prospects of success than, on ma turer consideration, I have been led to entertain. I lament much that any error or hasty decision on my part, should have proved injurijitis, in any way, to those electors who so kind' - and so cordially proffered their support, and pror-.„,3d their votes ; and w h ose flattering reception c!f: . - - gret I f ee l t h a t I s h ou ld h increases the re interests, cr;peared indiff eren t t o th e i r " To th ose gent l emen who so zealously acted as my Com mittee, I feel deeply indebt e d f or t h e i r exertions ; and to those professional. gentlemen who s o h onoura b ly volunteered their grntnitons services, it is incumbent on me to return those thanks to which their disinterested conduct entitles them. " With hi g h esteem both f or y ourse lf an d t h e ot h er gentle men of the Committee, and all those electors who had pro mised me th e i r support, and with the sincerest impressions of gratitude t o a l l wh O advocated my cause, I have the honour to remain, Your obliged and faithful servant, (Signed) " MONTAGUE GORE. " Edward s 13eacion, Esq., Chairman."

The pecuniary embarrassments of the Administration begin again to be felt in the army, and among the civil officers. The gratuitous loan of 500,000 dollars, which the aristocracy and the clergy presented to the President on his taking charge of the Government, disappeared almost instantaneously. _ The contraband trade carried on through the northern ports of the republic is both scandalous and exceedingly in int-ions to the national revenue ; a set of infamous foreigners, abusing the hospitality and generosity of the nation, are u.:ing every exertion to defraud the Government of its principal resources. In order to avoid evils of such magni tulle, the supreme Government has determined to station a bu ig of war between Tampico and Galveston to protect the revenue, which brig shall be relieved every two months by a similar one.

Robb, ar rived at this port yesterday, in the short run of 38 days from the River Plate to the Chesapeake, we have received Buenos Ayres papers to the 4tit ult. inclusive. A violent gale from the S.E. was experienced at Buenos Ayres on the 26th and '27th September, during which a number of vessels were driven ashore from the inner roads. Among the merchant vessels were the brig David Maffit, of Baltimore, just arrived ; American ship Caroline, British brigs Wave and Scott ; and Neapolitan brig Vesuvio. The American and Neapolitan went ashore off the Arroyo Mal donado. It is added that the whole five " had been unrig ged, and are totally lost." Besides the above, a large num ber of small craft and boats were driven ashore. There is no loss of lives mentioned, except in the small craft—the crews of the larger vessels being all saved. The Marine-office had taken every precaution to prevent the wrecked vessels from being plundered.

GALE IN THE GULF OF ME XICO.--We learn from OP:ptain Clark, of the brig Splendid, from Vera Cruz, that on his passage to the port on the 16th ult., when six leagues north of Vera Cruz, in sight of land, he encountered the most severe gale he has ever known in an experience of thirty years, and before it ended the Splendid was drivers hear Campeachy Banks, a distance of more than 250 miles. An English schooner in company, from Gibraltar, had her decks swept of everything, and had to throw over a part of her cargo, consisting of quicksilver. At the commenat ment of the gale there were two schooners in company, bound to Vera Cruz, which had not arrived on the 25th. The United States ship Falmouth was in the gale, but suffered no damage of consequence. The schooner Eliza. Beth, Edwin Clark master, from Mobile, for Tampico, was capsized, and all on board perished, except John Fore man, seamen, of Gloucester, Massachusetts, who was picked up, after being fourteen hours on a plank, by an English schooner, which arrived at Vera Cruz on the 19th. In lat. 25, long. 90, Captain Clark spoke the brig packet Swallow, from Vera Cruz for Falmouth, under jury -masts, having been capsized on the 16th, and had to cut away her masts, and heave her guns overboard, to right her. She intended to put into Havannah. Captain Clark suppliedi her with water. HORRID MURDER.--.The following account of a most dreadful transaction has been couuriunicated to us in a letter, dated— " Cedar Shoal, C.D. (South Carolina), Nov. I Gk " The circumstances attending the death of Captain Rodman, together with another neighbour, Mr. 'William Walker, are, perhaps, the most outrageous act -A of human butchery ever perpetrated in any country. IT hey arc briefly -.5 follows :—On Wednesday evening, t}:, e loth inst., John G. Ferguson, a young man of this vicinity, went to the store of Captain Rodman to trade him a small bag of cotton, which he did, and in the set+, l of change due t o Ferguson, which there was a small balance which it was not convenient for Captain Rodm gi to make at that time. Ferguson became enraFed., and swore that if he did not pay him then, ho sue him. At this time, Mr. Wsker, (who with another man, were the only persons present) observed to Ferguson, not to make himself uneasy about the change, that Rodman would pay him shortly. Ferguson immedi ately laid hold of Walker, threw him down, and was beating him severely, when Captain Rodman got over the counter and separated them. Ferguson then drew his knife, when Captain Rodman retreated back over the counter ; in doing which he received a stab in the side from Ferguson, and one in the arm, which proved fatal in forty-eight hours. Ferguson then turned upon Walker, who had got tip and was sitting on the counter, and plunged his knife in, Walker's left temple, up to the handle, as appeared aftrwards when the knife was found. Walker survived but twenty-four hours. Ferguson made his escape, and has as yet eluded his pursuers. Thus have this community been de -1 prived of two respectable citizens by the band of a worthless assassin." So mild has the weather been, and so congenial to the soil in this neighbourhood (Burford), that it was but yes terday we saw a farmer cross-ploughing his (allows for turnips next season, and dragging the land, and burning the weeds, as is generally usual in the months of April or May. The oat land is also ploughed in many places, and every operatics' of husbandry equally forward. Providence, therefore, seems in all respects to favour the agriculturist, though human actions are too much against him. We would it were otherwise. Oxford Journal. ti~
