Mill not be thought of without providing to the credi tor a more certain way of obtaining satisfaction from • ilia-debtor : but I hope, ere long, to see the measure extended to every part of the empire. I have heard 41ected to me, that I am a defeated candidate for f... representation. . I confess the circumstance / Lu grve m e great mortification at the time k becau ve se tvas the re b y stopped short in the course of impro - 'neat of the laws in which I was engaged. But, gen tlemen, that circumstance was not occasioned by any personal objections to myself, but by a temporary misu nderstanding between the electors of Dudley 1 71 his - Majesty's government. The electors thought, ti e t erroneously, that government was minded to con tinue church rates; that they would not mitigate the grievances of Dissenters ; that they would not allow th em to register their own marriages ; that they wou ld even,, go as far as the Duke of Wellington himself, an d not al low them to take degrees at the Universities . this misu n d ers t an ding, I for a moment lost the ciii j'edenee , of the electors of Dudley ; but I have since end tnat they now regret that circumstance. as deeply th emselves as I did. I have had addresses from some ra.-4 the electors, assuring me that many of those who v oted against me, or wh o declined vote, to now deeply regret either thei r h os tility or their neutrality. They h ave since learned that government have taken mea- L itr es for a b o li s hi ng c hurch rates, and for removing - ' e rY grievance of which any rational Dissenter can „„__ ; 1 9 3 1 _ lain • and if they had known this at the time, I the Constituency. not for a moment have lost the confidence of Constituency. Misfortune , however, is some es the harbinger of joy, and the mortification of ng sat defeated at Dudley will be more than compen-• e d p t am returned by you as your representative to i ir l • l ament. (Cheers.) The greatest objection, as maul informed, is that I am a member of the govern but if such an objection is to be listened to, b.,..;._. l PraY you, is a public man to be introduced into uanaent ? There is now no Old Sarum, or Gatton, Y which t o enter , an d an officer of the crown can only hike l lth ,„_ I lia, seat in the House of Commons by throwing f upon a public, independent, and enlightened h°ayse 11tit ueney—such a constituency, gentlemen, as I re mained honour of addressing. (Cheers.) Had I to plain plain John Campbell, I might have aspired Ine your representative ; and now, because I am, a ddition, the Attorney-General, am I not to be per ted compete for this distinction ? I do not urge jholdin the office of his Majesty's Attorney-Gene an y g r ecommendation. It is not upon that I o i n _d• an lappear as a simple eem citizen. But surely my though not a iT mendation, ought not to be )7 lt ed upon as a disqualification. (Cries of " No, L c ' , " and loud cheers.) Some objections, I under "Lnd, go farther, and are taken, not only against a didate connected with the government, but against tbe government itself. Far be it from me to say that eY have made no blunders ; when they first came CiCieTories office they were inexperienced, b u t l ong before Tories come back, I hope they w ill h ave acqu i re d e ,,Perience enough.

In England a man cannot milk par t c ' w without accounting to the parsons for the tenth i nf it ; the same is the case with his.onions and E": n es, and the peach he raises in his green-house.

I have no doubt of the sincerity and good intentions of that party ; but their principles lead in my opinion, to revolution and to political convulsion. ( Considerable confusion.) My humble opinion is, that these principles would lead to despotism, and terminate in the overthrow of liberal institutions. It is only by a regard to law that free dom can be preserved. Every new-fangled notion, if followed, would endanger the stability of the constitu tion. I have now, gentlemen, explained fully, sin cerely, and honestly, the principles on which I offer myself to your suffrages. On these principles I have e ver acted, and to these prineilt!es I ever will adhere. If upon them you think me worthy of your support, it will be the proudest day of my life to be returned to parliament by the metropolis of my native country, where it will be my endeavour to serve you truly, honestly, and faithfully. I will give no political pledge. What I said a little ago about pledging my self to equalise the annuity tax was, as you understood it, a joke ; but I will answer any questions you wish I to ask, as think there ought to be the fullest under standing betwixt the candidate and the constituents. I now tifrow myself sincerely on your choice. If re turned, I joyously receive that honour ; if not, I go back to private life without regret. But I feel that in a public sphere I could still be of service to my coun try, and should rejoice exceedingly to enter it again as your representative. (Loud cheering. ) Sir John Campbell sat down amidst great cheering. The LORD PROVOST then rose and said that Sir John Campbell had entered very largely into his views both on public and local matters. The electors would have an opportunity of meeting with him again ; but the Attorney-General was now waiting to answer any questions which might be suggested by so large and respectable a meeting. The Hon. D. EKSKINE—My Lord Provost, I avail myself of this permission. I wish to hear the opinions of Sir John Campbell on the subject of capitalpunish ment. Sir JOHN CAMPBELL—I will make my reply with all liberty. The old code of England was the most bloody and barbarous that was ever heard of in a civi lised country. I believe I may boast of having softened its ferocity. I supported in parliament several bills for lessening the number of capital punishments. For gery ceased to be a capital crime. Stealing property to the value of as., a sheep, an ox, or a horse, from a common, which formerly were capital, were struck out of the statute-book, by bills which I warmly and ac tively supported ; but if the question is put, should all capital punishment be abrogated ? I say, no. 2. On Septennial Parliaments ? Thought they should be shortened. 3. Corn Laws ? I am a friend to free trade in every commodity. Not to repeal the Corn Laws just now might be beneficial, as the agricultural distress was great. 4. What do you think of the Pension List? I think it a reproach to the Tories ; while they were in power all the objectionable pensions were granted. 5. How would you have voted on Mr. Whittle Harvey's motion ? As I was not then in Parliament, I cannot pretend to talk of possibilities as to what might have happened or might not have happened. The LORD PROVOST then put the question, " That Sir J. Campbell was a fit and proper person to repre sent the city of Edinburgh." ( Tremendous cheering.) The LORD PROVOST declared the motion carried.

By command, THO. BURNETT, Secy. and P.B. Palace of Holyrood, 16th May, 1834. THE TAILORS' STRIKE.—The utter dis tress into which the journeymen and their families have been thrown, through their insane attempt to in. tiztiidate their masters, appears at length to have induced them to listen to the dictates of reason and prudence, and there is very little doubt that before many days are elapsed, they will all gladly return to their work. During the last week several meetings of the journeymen took place at their different lodges, and a great many of the men expressed their determi nation to submit no longer to the dictates of their leaders, but to rescue themselves and families from dis tress by returning to their work. The Union, on Satur day last, could not muster more than 3s. or 4s. for each man, and even *this was done with theutmost difficulty. A great number of the journeymen will, however, no doubt, hold out as long as they can, as they are afraid of the moral injury which their being beaten by their masters would produce among the trades of the metro polis, who, it is well known, are only waiting to see how the strike of the tailors succeeds, and whether they have the power to compel their masters to accede to their terms, in order to make a similar attempt themselves. The persons who are at present suffering most severely from the strike of the tailors are the wholesale woollen-drapers, and sellers of light stuffs for waistcoats, trousers, &c., whose business is com pletely destroyed at a time when it is in general most profitable to them. It is stated that nearly 2,000 of the men have returned to their work in different parts of the metropolis. Yesterday in the Sheriff's Court, Red Lion square, a jury was impannelled before Mr. Wightman, Mr. G. Cooke, Mr. Maule (solicitor to the Treasury), and Mr. Burchell, the Under Sheriff, to inquire whether the late Mr. Dominick Oliveira, of Upper Seymour-street, Bryanston-square, did not die an alien, and whether (as he left no legal representative or next of kin) his property had not become an escheat to the crown. Mr. Oliveira bequeathed to his three natural sons a sum of between 70,000/. and 80,000/. in stock ; the bequest was to be given to other persons named in the will, if either of the sons married a Scotch woman, or the daughter of a Scotchman or Scotchwoman. This bequest was left with various provisions ; 3001. were left to Sir S. Scott and Mr. Vere, the banker ; and he directed that the remainder of his estate, including some property in Madeira, four houses in Cumberland -street, Bryanston-street, Upper George-street, and Upper Seymour-street, the net rent of which is 2751., and six shares and a half in the Grand Junction Water Works, to be divided between his brother, John Francis, who resided at Norfolk, in Virginia, and Joachim Oliveira, who resided in Brazil. John Francis, it was proved, died in the lifetime of the testator, at Lisbon ; and Joaquim, it was also proved, was in Brazil, and that he and all the other members of the testator's family were aliens.—The jury there fore returned a verdict, finding that Mr. Dominick Oliveira was an alien, and that his next of kin were aliens ; and that the houses before mentioned, and the Canal Shares, had devolved to his Majesty by virtue of his Prerogative Royal. THE EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE ON MR. GEE.—The husband of Mrs. Canning was a farmer, living in the neighbourhood of Bishop Stort ford, where he died about six years back, leaving his widow with three children, all girls, the eldest being about six, and the youngest two years old. Mrs. Canning removed very shortly afterwards to the neighbourhood of her present residence at Old Ford. She moved into the house where she is now living in Providence-row only four months back,: and she at the time mentioned to the landlord that she had a fixed income of 841. per annum. The house is a very re spectable one, but lying off any main road; the rent is moderate, and she was enabled therefore to live with her daughters in a genteel style. She keeps one servant, whom she brought with her from Bishop Stortford. On the morning after the first disclosure was made by Mr. Gee at Lambeth-street office, Lea and Shelswell went over to make a caption of Edwards, the avowed principal in the transaction. The officers took their station in the parlour of the Three Colts Tavern, which is within a few doors, and from the bow-window of which they could command a n tl g,s view re o si f d the enc e.

We are sincerely concerned in recording that this disgrace to our country has again occurred at the Bute Works. On Monday night, the 12th instant (to wards midnight), about fifty of these marauders, dressed up in various habits, made their appearance at the above works, with the usual prelude of cows' horns, and an imitation of the lowing . of cattle ; they at tacked and broke windows and furniture in several houses. The most active exertions are making to find out these ruffians, on whom former lenity has had so bad an effect. Since writing the above we have heard that on the same night some evil-disposed men went to the mine levels at Llwydcoed, Aberdare, be longing to the G a dly s I ron C om p an y, an d broke in pieces a great number of the poor miners' tools, de stroyed their candles, and scattered their powder all over the levels. The offence is supposed to have been that some miners had presumed to work there con trary to the regulations of these tyrannical depre dators. WEDNESDAY MORNING.—We have to record another disgraceful outrage of the Scotch Cattle at Blaencarno (Bute Works) last night : they came about 11 o'clock by the Rumney Inn, ordered a person standing at the door to go in and shut the door, and then fired off a pistol by way of bravado. They then ordered the tollkeeper to open his gate, go into the house, and shut the door. From thence they proceeded to Blaencarno, where they had been the previous night, and broke into the house of David Jenkins, a master miner, whom they beat in his bed, and smashed his bed all into pieces. When the proprietor of the works came there the following morning the poor man's blood was all over the floor. These cowards then put his furniture on the fire, and very nearly burnt down the house, having also smashed every pane of glass in the house ; they also beat the man's mother, an old woman near seventy years of age. The poor fellows whose houses have been pillaged are so fearful of a repetition of the outrage that their fires are extinguished before night, their wives and families are removed, and they keep a lighted candle concealed in a chest, for fear of the light being seen through their windows I and this is in happy and peaceful England 1 ! ! e rTyh, e parish followingo f eA ß P n T eoci A t wi l waseNeyeißitox fo l tt N nd WA a i t' E tte Arg oed Col- May , 16.

SUIQ SIR,—AS yon-'hare publicly requested me to state the sums subscribed and expended by dissenters for defravin;• the expense of the election of Lord John Russell for Devonshire, I have no hesitation in stating, that in Mny 1831, the period to which I referred, the subscriptions amounted to 909/. ss. 6d. Of this sum 5001. were, upon my motion, most. cheerfully contributed from the funds of the deputies of the three denominations appointed to pro tect the civil rights of the dissenters in and within ten miles of London, whilst 100 guineas were as readily given from those of the Protestant Society for the Protection of Religious Liberty. The remainder of the money was raised by private subscription, in sums varying in amount from 20?. to 10s. ; but the withdrawing of all opposition, soon after the commencement of this subscription had been extensively advertised, rendered its prosecution unneces sary, and only about three-eighths of the amount subscribed were ever needed, andwere taken in equal proportions from the contributions of the public bodies and of private individuals. The sum actually paid over to the committee at Exeter was 266/. 16s. 6d. (the whole expenses of the election), which, with 92/. expended in advertisements and other in cidental charges, made the total amount contributed 3581. 16s. 6d. There was, however, if my memory does not deceive me, another subscription set on foot by the dissenters at the London Coffee-house ; but with the particulars of its amount and application lam not at all acquainted. That of which I have given you the details was under the management of the secretary to the deputies, and the do cuments connected with it are preserved amongst their proceedings. In conclusion I have only to add, that what ever was done by the dissenters on that occasion is only to be taken as a specimen of what they would have done had a contest called for further exertions. I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, JAMES BALDWIN BROWN. 38, Bedford-place, Russell-square, May 19, 1834. THE THEATRES. KING'S. The German company repeated Mozart's Zanber Flote last night. Almost the only fault of the performance, if fault it can be called, was that it was in general too good for the comparatively unrefined musical taste of this coun try. There was scarcely one of the performers who did not go through the undertaking with considerable im provement-Upon the first exhibition in London. None of the ladies possess the commanding powers of Madame Shroeder Devrient, but they are entitled to hold a high rank in their profession. Madame Walker is a fine singer, but her speaking-voice is indistinct and feeble, more for want of pain s th an s t r ength. Demoiselles Weinhold, Munch, and Schirner, sang with great judgment as the attendants of the Queen of Night ; and a trio by them in the first act well merited repetition. Of the men, Herr Schmetzer (who' had the part of Tanzino), as the first tenor, deserves the first notice. His organ is more power ful, but not so sweet and clear as that of Haitsinger : it has a degree of huskiness in some of the notes that much mars the music. Herr Uetz we have seen before this sea son in Papageno, and his comic as well as his musical ta lents enabled him to make the most of it. He bore his part in the duet with Madame Walker, which in English is known by the name of " The Manly Heart," to the sa tisfaction of the whole house. Of the rest, Herr Delcher is the only one it is necessary to particularize : he has a full deep bass voice, but now and then, in the effort to show its full power and profundity, he failed to be quite in tune, so that we almost wished that, like the man in Mathew's entertainment, he had lost his G. COVENT-GARDEN. Last night there WasaveiYfalhotise to witness the performance of Gustavus and The Fairy Slipper. It would be needless to repeat what has been already said re specting these gorgeous spectacles ; the Cedar Hall, in the latter, is certainly one of the most magnificent scenes ever produced in any theatre, and the dancing of the Alberts (bere et fits) and of Noblet is most exquisite. The Fairy Slipper at half price is doubtless likely to prove a great attraction. OLYMPIC. We were present last night at the highly-interesting performances which the little French company of this theatre give to a very select and numerous audience. The pieces selected for the evening were the vaudeville of the Paysan Picard, by Brazier; Leontine, a drama in three acts, by Ancelot ; with the ainserit, which is sufficiently known through the medium of an excellent translation which has appeared at more than one of the minor theatres. Several songs were interspersed in the performances, but the vocal powers of the company did not reach mediocrity. VICTORIA. The Whitsun novelty at this theatre was, as the play bills entitle it, "An original, domestic, historical, comical drama," by the author of Gioranni in London, and called The Court of Queen Anne, or The Prince and the Breeches Maker: Of the merits of the piece we are not in a position to speak, as: from the beginning to the end of the performance thenoise through the house (which was densely crowded), made it a complete pantomime. •There are many effective situations which, if well sus tained by the colloquy, must make The Court of Queen Anne popular. FITZROY. Last night at the Fitzroy Theatre the holiday people were regaled with a new entertainment, which had been announced with a loud "note of preparation." It is designed (as its name, Wagstavus, indicates) for a wag gish parody upon the opera of Gustavus. In a production of this kind, and destined for the latitude of the Fitzroy, We must not look for much refined wit; but had there .been more of novelty and raciness in the jokes, the piece would have been less dependent for success upon the pan tomimic drollery of the actors. hi this respect Oxberry and Meadows exerted themselves with good effect. The latter, in his mock-heroic effusions, gave some fair imita tions of Edmund Kean. This piece was .followed by an amusing trifle, entitled Pay for Peeping. The plot develops a few illustrations of that very old, and we believe incurable, foible of the fair sex---uriosity. The dialogue is in many places sprightly, and some of the situations ludicrous. SADLER'S WELLS. This favourite place of public amusement has been celebrated both for the variety and excellence of its pan tomimes for more than a century past ; and certainly, if public approbation may be regarded as the test of merit, the one produced last night will sustain its reputation. This new pantomime is founded on the well-known and popular nursery tale, called Harlequin and Little Goody Two Shoes ; or, The Elfin.. Sprite and the Enchanted Hare. The second piece was entitled, The Murder on the Cliff ; or, The Smuggler's Dogs, which was also favourably received ; as was also the last, called Brazilian Jack ; or, the Life of an Ape. The acting, in several instances, was deserving of commendation, though very unequal. The house was full in every part. The pit and gallery were crowded to suffocation. ASTLEY'S. Lashad S. re-production of th e D rury -l ane spectacle nigh tcleo we of St. and the Dragon. The good, the really , effective scenes of the Drury-lane house are all pre served, the less pleasing. ones are cut out, and have others substituted for them. New scenery and new music met us, and there was also a happy variation in • the story— without any remarkable departure from the remarkable tradition on which the piece is founded. After St. George and the Dragon, we had several scenes in the circle, which drew down the warmest plaudits, as did also the ven turous efforts of the Bohemian rope-dancers. The Masked Ball was evidently:the source of great amusement to many, but we certainly could not see it in so favourable a light as our fellow witnesses. The grand military spectacle of The Death If Sir John Moore concluded a very delight ful evening's entertainment. The piece is a very interest ng one. G R EENWICH FA IR.—The manner in which the h u mours "of G reenw i c h F a i r were carried on yesterday was very cheering, and calculated to revive recollections of the good old days of " Merry Eng land." The town and fair place were so densely crowded throughout the day, that it was difficult to move, particularly in the latter place. The main road leading from the metropolis to the fair was " alive," with all description s of persons and vehicles, moving towards the " joyous scene ;" and the river, in like manner, presented a most animated sight, the whole of the " wherry" craft, as it were, sliding along the bosom of the water for " the grand rendezvous," filled with their contributions of the holyday-going portion of the metropolitan population. The famed " Crown and Anchor" Tavern formed the grand focus of at traction in the evening, its great length rendering it capable of accommodating many thousand persons ; and the dancing, music, and " feasting" having been carried on there with great spirit and gout. A tavern assuming the name of the above, has been erected at the fair of Wandsworth, and has given Mr. Alger, the proprietor of the form er , muc h anno y ance — no t th a t e fears anything from a competition ; but that he is indignant at his name having been assumed in connec tion with what he considers a " gipsey concern ;" with which, and the " tribe," he is unambitious of being supposed to have " any connexion." Richardson's Theatre was liberally patronized by the lovers of the drama. The fair does not terminate until to-morrow evening ; and harmony and good fellowship most hap pily characterise its proceedings. The shoemakers in the employ of the manu facturers of Stone turned out for wages on the 12th, and_were joined by the women who work as binders. The latter have the modesty to demand ls. 2d. for work - which they have hitherto clone for ed. • - MIX. WILKS, M. P., AND THE TABERNACLE. The following account of the termination of a scene, in which the Hon. Secretary of the P:o -testant Society took part, is copied from tile Christian Advocate. It appears, that in cons3querre of some difference between the manages an -1 trustees and the minister of the chapel (Mr. Camp bell) relative to the trust-deed, the latter was ejected from the pulpit on Sunday last : " At a quarter before ten on Sunday morning (three quarters of an hour before the time of commencing the service), the soi-disant trustees assembled, and put the Rev. Mr. Mulley, of Mark's gate, into the pulpit, and the clerk into the desk, they themselves, with John Wilks, Esq., M. P., at their head, taking their station at the bottom of the pulpit stairs. At the usual hour the con gregation assembled, and were evidently much disap pointed to find a stranger in the pulpit. Mr. Bate man, as the friend of Mr. Campbell, proceeded to the pulpit to serve Mr. Mulley with a written notice, to the effect that Mr. Campbell was there and ready to do his duty. Mr. Campbell then presented himself, but was immediately repelled by the trustees, and it appeared that if he had atte m pted to ascend the pulpit, they would have givm him in charge to some policemen who, under the orders of an attorney (Mr. Wilks's son) and his two clerks, were in attendance in the vestry. Upon this he turned to Mr. Wilks, and said, " If your father were here, Sir, would he not weep ?" Mr. Selby, who is one of Mr. Campbell's principal friends, expostulated with Mr. Wilks ; who answered that he could not help it; that, if Mr. Campbell had any legal claim, he might assert it; things must take their course. In the meantime Mr. Campbell withdrew, and, having disrobed himself, took his seat in the body of the chapel. The conflict now began. The clerk attempted to give out the hymn ; Mr. Mulley attempted to preach ; but the congregation, exasperated on perceiving that their chosen pastor had been ref Used admission to his own pulpit, drowned the voices of both parson and 'clerk by their reite rated cries of " Shame, shame !" " Down with Mulley !" " We will have Mr. Campbell, and no one else !" and other expressions of a similar tendency, intermingled with groans and hisses. This unhallowed scene continued for a consi derable time ; and in the midst of it Mr. Campbell, who preserved the calmest demeanour, was led out between two of his supporters. In the meantime the trustees had separated to their respective seats ; and a gentleman, who sat immediately behind Mr. Wilks (and who, we are in formed, was the Rev. Dr. Henderson of ighbury Col lege), audibly accosted the honourable member, asking him twice over "if he called that Protestant liberty," and then, expressing his disgust, immediately left the cha pel. Mr. BATEMAN came forward, and exhorted the congre gation to retire in peace; for, if not, the trustees would employ force. With the exception of a very small number, those who were present obeyed this suggestion, and retired, some remaining in the yard to discuss the events of the morning, and the rest proceeding to other places of wor ship. The uproar was such as to defy our powers of de scription, and the females were so terrified that they fainted away on every side. We understand that the demands of Mr. Campbell and his friends are, that the trustees shall be chosen annually by the members in society, that they shall render an an nual account of the state of the funds, and that the ap pointment of the minister shall be vested: in the people. Mr. Campbell intends to continue to demand the pulpit, and to sue the managers, at the expiration of the quarter ; when, we presume, the matter will be referred to a court of law, if it do not, in the mean time, become the subject of a slower process in Chancery. Thus has the peace of two of the largest congregations in London been, we fear, irremediably disturbed, by the assertions'ef a power which churchmen will wonder to find exercised in a dissenting congregation, and that too by the honorary secretary of the Society or the Protection of Religious Liberty ! SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. The crowded state of the room during the whole of yesterday afternoon led us to expect that business would be brisk, but we were disappointed, as scarcely anything of consequence was done. Plenipo and Shilelah were quoted at 4 to I each, there being this difference betwixt them, that Plenipo's friends were very shy, while the Irish party would take 9 to 2 as long as anybody could be found to bet it. Beyond a slight improvement in Bentley there was no other change. Zulima rose a point or two for the Oaks, upon which little or nothing was done. Closing prices : THE vonK DERBY.

York, Sunday Night., Our list of the horses sent yesterday, comprehended all that have arrived, except Lord Sligo's Daxon, Mr. Marson's Miss Potter, and one or two others. Consider. ing the poverty of the stakes, the number is certainly great. We should be glad to speak as favourably of the bill of fare, which is certainly more scanty than we have seen for some years, and is no slight disgrace to the citizens of York ; who, by an unaccountable apathy, have snffered their own races to dwindle into insignificance, while a host of minor meetings have sprung up around them like mushrooms, and are every year acquiring addi tional importance. The resuscitation of the Meeting is still to be effected by proper exertion—the gentry are willing to subscribe, and the breeders to find horses—but the one must be asked, and the other tempted. As the first step towards the latter, we would recommend that the entrance money for the Plates be given to the second horses ; and to effectuate the other, the magnates of the city have only to open their eyes to their own interests. The weather yesterday and to-day has been wet, but not sufficiently so to injure the course, which is in the very finest condition. The horses, generally, look well, Major Yarburgh's two years old filly being the only one reported amiss—she is gone home. That excellent friend to the Northern Turf, and true sportsman, the Duke of Leeds, has sent nine horses, being every one that is engaged here. His Grace's nags, if able, are always at the post— no throwing shoes, no coughs or other trifles buzz about his stables ; it would be well if others would follow his example. THE YORK DERBY. 6 to 4 agst. Worlaby Baylock, offered freely ;_ a to 1 agst. Mr. Powlett's colt ; and 7 to 2 agst, Mellerstein. Whether Worlaby will go for this stake or the St. Leger, or both, is yet a secret : seven or eight are expected to start. THE ST. LEcER. Bran has been backed at 2 to 1, for trifles, by parties who plume themselves on their " private information" from Middleham—he is a fine colt, and thought a good deal of by competent judges.

The contest is expected to be very severe in St. Pan cras and Marylebone, and particularly in Marylebone, where one party consists of the ultra-radicals and unionists ; the other are staunch but rational reformers, and friends of economy, but who, at the same time,_ are anxious to pat a stop to wild. visionary, and levelling principles, and restore tranquillity to the parish. LONDON TAILORS.—The baneful effects resulting from the strike of the London tailors have a wider ramification than is generally believed. The English silk trade, and the Irish linen trade, are not the only branches of commerc e suflerin g from it. It will exercise a consid erable influence - on the staple trade of Dundee, It is calculated that the 20,000 tailors now idle in the metropolis were in the practice of W4TIOng up 30,000 yards of canvas weekly, for pad ding alone ; so tisa; the shipments of our merchants will be considerably curtailed, or, in other words, their dealings, in this single article in the London market, Sir M.
