TO THE EDITOR OF TIdE SUN, Sta.,—ln your Piper of the sth inst. a Correspondent, who subscribes himself " A Freeholder of the West," is pleased to take umbrage at a remark of yours (in reference to the Bristol Reform Meeting,) where you say " that the people of Bristol have set a noble example to their countrymen, which we have no doubt will be duly appre ciated and acted upon." Notwithstanding the inference which your Correspon dent of the West has drawn, I beg to remind him, that the persons who composed the Bristol Reform Meeting have set " a noble example to their countrymen," not as your Correspondent would have it, " in following in the train of the supporters of Baillie and Hart Davies," but in refusing to entrust their petition to EITHER OF THOSE GENTLEMEN, or to any one else who would not FLEDGE hiniSeif to support vote by ballot in the Commons 'louse of Parliament. This, Sir, is a peculiarity in the Bristol Meeting, " a noble example" which it would have been well had other meetings of the like kind adopted. It will be recollected that Mr. Baillie attended our meeting, declared that he was " not opposed" to vote by ballot, but declined to pledge himself to support it. Whereupon a public spirited indi vidual, who has done himself infinite credit by his inde pendent conduct on that occasion, (Mr. John Wesley Hall) immediately rose and put it to the good sense of the meet ing whether or not they ought to entrust their petition to one who would not pledge himself to support vote by bal lot, and moved an amendment proposing to entrust Lord Althorp with the presenting of the petition, INSTEAD OF Ma. BAILLIE, which amendment I need hardly add was carried by an immense majority. So much for the in sinuation thrown out by your Correspondent of the West in reference to the "supporters of Mr. Baillie and Mr. Hart Davies !" I much regret to find that at the late Reform Meeting at Lincoln, the " noble example" set by the Bristol Reform Meeting was not acted on, and that Colonel Sibthorpe should, with a declaration that he was opposed to vote by ballot, have been entrusted with that petition. Vote by ballot must be a "sine qua non" in any pro posed measure of Reform. Without it the people will never be satisfied, the universal feeling of the country (among electors) being in favour of it, intisinueli, ae by a measure of that kind alone can their independence against terror and corruption be secured. I am, Sir, your constant realer, Bristol, Bth Feb., 1831. Q. 1N THE CORNER. THE DERBYSHIRE MINERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. is with feelings of sincere gratification that I inform you that my humble efforts on behalf of the poor Derbyshire Miners, through the medium of The Sun, have been crowned with triumphant success. Sttbscrip tions continue to be received daily in their aid. and their praise and blessings are as warmly offered for your pros perity. The subject has been ably taken up by the Editor of the Iris, who copied my original statement, and the resnit is most satisfactory. The gentlemen of Sheffield have formed a committee, and are exerting themselves actively in endeavouring to mitigate their wants. John Bagshawe, Esq. of the Oaks, near Sheffield, the lettee of the Noble Duke, has handsomely sent five pounds, and has kindly directed the miners to apply to him, and be will :endeavour to obtain for them that for which they seek, although from the depressed state of mining he must be losing money from his lease. I had some conversation the other day with a very intelligent lead merchant, who doubted whether an increase of duty on foreign lead as far as concerned this country would benefit the miner. He stated that we were considerable exporters of manufactured lead, particularly to our own colonies abroad, and that the Spanish lead merchant was underselling us in our own markets, and from that reason had ceased to export lead to England, consequently he said the duty ought to be charged on the article imported either in a prepared or unprepared state into any of our colonies. I, however, differed with him, as I am opposed to duties in any shape— feeling convinced there wants an alteration at the fountain head. For instance, I find in the eleventh article of the Mineral Law that a compact was entered into between the miners and the I.ord of the Manor by which the latter was to supply the former with wood for the mines out of the King's woods in consideration of the additional grant of lead ore, which supply has long ago ceased, but the Lord's exaction still continues. This certainly ought to be altered, and I hope it will. Indeed, from the humane and considerate manner the subject has been taken up by Mr. Bagshawe, I have no doubt it will at least, if that gentiern in can accomplish it. In the meantime, I entreat and urge your numerous readers, many of whom must have spent happy days amongst the romantic beauties of this delightful and picturesque county, to come forward with their mites. I dare say you will gladly receive any sum for that purpose, which I shall be happy to transmit to the proper quarter. I need not add that the present inclement weather renders the claim still more urgent, and God grant that it may be successful. I am, Sir, with great respect, Feb. 7. YOUR CORRESPONDENT.

KELLY, Esq., has convened a meeting, for the 10th instant, to petition for a repeal of the Union.—Dublin Morning Register. NEWARK ELECTION.—Another election is on the eve of taking place at Newark, being the third within two years, so that as far as Newark is concerned it is a trial of annual Parliaments. Wealth and influence send their representative, now let power, viz. the people send its representative, and quiet will be restored. It was not known by whom Mr. NASSAU Serrose was in duced to offer himself, nor by whom induced to retire. The conduct of the gentlemen who waited upon Mr. HANDLEY did them great credit,—it was paying him that respect to which both as a private and a public man he is entitled ;—his not acceding was a great evidence of good sense and uprightness of mind, as he inquired whether Mr. Serjeant WILDE would be a candidate, being answered in the affirmative no doubt influenced his deci sion. Mr. Serjeant WILDE every year adds fresh laurels to his fame, and as a man of distinguished talent, character, and ability, Newark would have a right to be proud in her selection of him as a representative. He is an advocate fOr Reform, and we know he would be proud to be aleader even in the advocacy of the vote by ballot, the only Reform that ever can be effectual to terminate the sys tem of hatred too often generated by elections. Th e Duke of NEWCASTLE, we are given to understand, will not interfere, and for such decision he deserves credit. Since we wrote the above, we perceive by advertisement that Mr. HANDLEY has announced his intention of be coming a candidate; we regret, for his own sake, that he should have been prevailed upon to stand ; for who is it that have signed the requisition ? Some apostates from fiend principle and Reform, others suppo rt e r s of corrup tion in its most putrid state, servants, &c. Another elec tion is certain in May ; the purse-strings must be un- I strung; a contest shall take place every time.---Newark Times. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BRISTOL, FEB. 4.—The Temple, of Bristol, bound for Rottenborough on the 28th ult., upon signal made for convoy, hastily slipped her cables, and ran, leaving on shore her chief mate, Mr. Samuel Watton, and a great number of her best hands. She soon after dropped her anchor near the Blue Rocks, where she now lies waiting for sailing orders: the mate and men whom she left be hind have entered on board a King's ship. The St. Stephen, of Bristol, chartered from Rotten borough, was spoken with on the 27th ult. off Cape Dictation, by a pilot who offered to bring her round the Cape into Fetter Sound ;but a stiff breeze springing up off Constitution Island, her officers and crew held a council, and their decision was to reluse the offa, and she bore away for Reform Harbour, where she now rides with anchors out fore and aft; hands sound and healthy, and all well. _ _ A put u p policya s a generalw was letters t o h fe marque ßritannic, re stricted to the English flag, at and from Rottenborough, with liberty to look into Gulf Expenditure, and there to chase, capture, and man, and to touch, stay, and refit at Point Reform, and thence to Fort Retrenchment and Prosperity Harbour. This risk was a great favourite with the underwriters; for, as the vessel was well known at Lloyd's to be of Class A. 1, staunch and well-manned, and laden with a well_ assorted cargo of sound goods, almost every one crowded to take a hire on her; upon which the house of Skulker, Hole, and Co., of our city, opened a policy upon another vessel bearing the same name, upon one of the old war risks, viz., lost or not lost, at and from Rottenborough to the Slave Coast and Port Poverty; with liberty to go backward and forward for all purposes, and under any flag, and to carry simulated papers : and though this house employed another broker, they artfully put up the policy at the same office, whereby several persons were induced to take a hire who did not understand the disadvantageou s adventure they were insuring, but supposed they were on the first named Britannic ; but who since, upon finding that the vessel last insured was leaky, her bottom foul, her hull much infested by rats, her crew weakly and showing scurvy, and the vessel altogether unseaworthy—have struck out their names, and demanded a return of premium. At our last market pigs were looking up ; l'rernau's bonds are falling off; the stock in hand both of bacon and freemen having, during the last dark weather, become very rusty. In consequence, many of the great holders of the latter stock offered their's to sale at a reduced price; but though the article was much inquired for, very little busi ness was done in it, none being saleable unless warranted pliable, a warranty the brokers were very shy of giving. No one would venture to make time bargains, for the dealers look forward with great anxiety to the settling day, and consequently these bonds found very few buyers. Some talk of a scheme for inducing every freeman to re deem his own debenture, but nothing is yet fixed on. It is, however, certain, that the great proprietors who attempt to keep this stock will find a loss resulting, and they had better get out of it on the host terms they can make. We have been fully supplied during the week with flummery by private manufacturers ; but it was stale, and weak in quality, and had an acrimonious and corrupt Knell, and is consequently flat. Indigoes are little in demand, the blue trade being ex tremely dull of late. Indeed, except a recent solitary order for colouring a few flimsy coarse fustians, the great wholesale dyers have not had any employment for the last six months. Prime loyalty canvas, fit for King's stores, is freely taken up ; but some lots of a spurious and damaged article, under that name, hang so heavily on hand, that it is thought they must be put off at an inferior price to the Alms-houses or Charity-schools, or exported to make tent. for the troops of the Russian Autocrat, in his intended in vasion of Poland, for which service they are very suitable: A strong feeling in favour of Parliamentary Reform is exhibiting itself in the Isle of Wight, which abound• in nominal representatives, without possessing any real ones. COURT CIRCULAR. The Spanish and Danish Ministers transacted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.

The following reductions have, it is said, been resolved upon by the Ministry :L—Captain the Hon. COURTENAY BOYLE, Superintendent of Transports; and JOSEPH Tucxxx, Esq., one of the Surveyors, are to retire from the Navy Board ; and Captain J. WOLLEY, Royal Navy, Deputy Comptroller : and JOHN WEIR, M.D., are to retire from the Victualling Board. No successors are to be appointed to these vacancies, but the Boards are to consist of the present members, with these reductions. A messenger arrived on Tuesday at the town residence of A. BARING, Esq., and stated that a valuable farm upon that gentleman's estate in Hampshire had, at a late hour on Monday night, been discovered on tire. Every exertion was used by the servants and others to sup press the flames, but without effect, and the whole was consumed. The fire is supposed to be the work of an in cendiary, which is rather extraordinary, as Mr. BARING not only refused to appear against COOK, who attempted his life, but, together with the whole of the members of his family, signed the petitions in favour of the convicted. Three tenants of the Earl of HARBOROUGH lately waited upon Isis Lordship, humbly requesting that he would take into consideration the great loss they bad sustained amongst their sheep, and other difficulties of the times, in order• that some reduction might be made in their rents. His Lordship attended to their statement with great affability, but informed them, that as his trades men's bills must be paid, and that certain repairs had been made at his expence, he could not at present grant them the relief they wanted.—Stamford Champion. A paragraph has appeared in a weekly paper, and copied into the London Papers, stating that a fracas had taken place between the young gentlemen at the Pa vilion and the juvenile visitors, the details of which have but one fault, and that is a bouncer—they are destitute of truth. The matter so gravely alluded to was of a light and laughable character, and totally unmeriting particular notice.—Brighton Guardian. BOROUGH OF LEICESTER.—If the exposure produced by Mr. OTWAT Cava's Parliamentary returns ; if the known and acknowledged expenditure of money in his and Sir CHARLES HASTINGS' election, with all the particulars of secret service money, and of that enlighten ing correspondence which ensued between Mr. OTWAT Cava and the members of the corporation; if the smothering of the elective franchise of the resident.bur gesses by the creation of 2,000 honorary non-resident free men ; if the number of charities, of large amount, at the disposal of the corporation, the application of which the town knows nothing ; if the sufferings of 5,408 indi viduals committed to gaol in the space of a few years, un convicted of any crime; if the increase in the charge upon the borough in a few years from nothing to 400/. per annum, and the further increase in a few years more to 4,0001. per annum; if the case of Mr. THOMAS FIELD ING, though not the last, nor the least of similar occur rences, will not stir the town to demand a Parliamentary inquiry, nothing we can say can have that effect. We hope we hare done our duty; but whatever course the town may think right to adopt, our efforts shall nut be wanting in so good a cause.—Leicester Chronicle. BOROUGH OF SHAFTESBURY, AND THE PATRIOTIC EARL GROSVENOR.—The Earl GROSVENOR. appears to be acting a meet severe and impolitic part in this borough, of which lie is what is called the " Patron." Since the election he has served notices to quit on 33 of his tenants who did not vote as they were expected, and he is daily increasiHg the number by small degrees to prevent any sudden effervescence of feeling. Of the 33 tenants who have already been served, 17 gave plum pers for the independent party, nine gave one vote to their landlord's nominee and one to the independent candidate, five gave plumpers to the patron's own nominee, and two tenants are to be ejected for not having voted at all. These last instances are perhaps unparalleled i❑ borough mongering history; the tenants are both respectable mem bers of the Society of Friends, one is Mr. Mutual., who has lived iu his present residence for upwards of twenty years, and has never voted against what is called " The Property." At the late election he said he could not, in his conscience, vote for his landlord's nominees, but that he would certainly not vote contrary to his wishes, and therefore did not vote. The other tenant to be ejected for not voting is a Mr. Bavar RARE, a man of property and of known uprightness; on being repeatedly sent for by the agents, he presented himself at the poll and tendered his vote for his landlord's nominees, but being required to take the elector's affir►nation, he declared that he could not without perjuring himself, as he should do it under fear and intimidation, owing to the threats which had been held out by the Earl's agents, and this lie considered as an infringement on the freedom of election, and in effect the worst species of bribery and corruption. Is it to be wondered that the people cry aloud for Reform, when Peers can thus legally punish electors for net submitting to be perjured ? Or is it surprizing that the people lose all re spect for the aristocracy, when its most prominent mem bers thus lose all respect for themselves ? These proceed ings have produced a great degree of excitement at Shaftes. bury, where a Reform meeting was held on Wednesday last, for the purpose of making the facts of this Noble Peer's " patronage" known to the Government and to both Houses of Parliament ; and also for the purpose of petitioning for the extension of the elective franchise to the adjoining hundred, or for the vote by ballot, as the only effectual protection which can be afforded to the elec tors.— Chester Courant. A considerable sensation has been produced in Horsham and the neighbourhood, during the last week, by the arrest of several individuals, who, it is alleged, were engaged in the tumultuous proceedings of the pea santry in November last. —Brighton Guardian. THE KING OF SWEDEN AND THE ENG LISH SPORTSMAN..-111r. LLOYD, our countryman, who has so highly distinguished himself by his work on the " Field Lports of the North of Europe," particularly as relates to the dangerous chase of the bear in Scandinavia, has be come a great favourite, not only with the highest classes of Swedish society, but at the Court of Stockholm. He has had several interviews with his MAJESTY, has been invited to the Royal table, and is just appointed Master of the Skalls for Wild Beasts; a commission, equal to the rank of Major in the Army, and giving the person who holds it pot, er to call out a thousand men to the battue. Mr. LLOYD'S volumes have been trans'ated into the Swe dish, Danish, and German languages ; and a second ani enlarged edition has just been published in London. WREXHAM.—On Saturday last a detach ment of the 53d regiment, consisting of thirty-two men, b u a t we thousand are ha tabs pp of y in marched into this town from Chester. Rumour has con sequently serious riots beents in being able to state that they are not correct. The Ffrwd colliers have declined working for the last three o r f our the busy neighbourhood, in circulating days, having had a dispute with their employers respecting wages; but their conduct, we are assured, is orderly and peaceable. A good deal of dissatisfaction exists on the subject of wages, which is said to have originated in the non-performance of the promises :node by several mas ters to the men during the late turn out. It is difficult to ascertain the truth; but one thing is quite certain, that the working classes in the northern part of the principality are generally in a very distressed condition. Chester Courant. It is with much satisfaction we hear that the carpet trade at Kidderminster participates in the briskness and impulse which appear from the accounts to pervade the manufacturing Lousiness of the kingdom almost gene rally at the present period.

BANK OF FRANCE. The Journal des Debats of Saturday has published the annual report made by the Directors of the Bank of Fran e to the shareholders, at a meeting which was held by them on the 27th ult. The Duke de Gaete, Governor of the Batik, opened the business of the day by a summary ac count of the affairs of the Bank, and informed the share holders that two of its late Directors, M. Lafitte and M. Vassal, having resigned—the former on account of his acceptance of the office of Minister of Finance, and the latter on account of his recent commercial misfortunes— M. Audenet and M. Lafond have' been appointed to fill the vacancies created by those resignations. The auditors' detailed report was then read, from which it appears that the amount of discounts in 1830 have been as follows : Amount discounted. Yielding. Francs. Francs. First half-year 275,617,437 Second half-year 341,876,996 Total discounts .......... 617,493,733 Total profit .... 4,0121,068 In 1829, the total amount discounted was 434,303,231 &anal, which yielded 2,585,553 profit, being 1,435,515 francs less than this year. This difference is reported as the consequence of the great commercial distress which has prevailed in France since the month of August last, and the readiness with which the Bank has been induced to afford all the relief that was compatible with the secu rity of its own interrets, and allowed by its statutes. But, notwithstanding all the caution that could be used, losses have been unavoidable, and the profit and loss account stands debited for the first half-year in 33,830 francs, and for the second half-year in 750,000 francs. The auditors allude to the advances lately made to the house of Jacques Lafitte and Co., and express the fullest confidence in the adequacy of the security received for the loan : they assure the shareholders that by thus contributing to uphold that eminent house, they had saved from ruin not only itself, but an immense number of individuals and establishments throughout France, whose existence depended entirely on its solvency. The greatest amount of liank notes in circulation last year has been 238,000,000, and the lowest amount 212,000,000 of francs. On the lst of January, 1830, the number of shareholders was 3,631, and on the 31st of the following December it had increased to 3,691. During that space 5,300 shares changed hands by sale, and 2,562 shares in consequence of the death of 93 holders. The result of this movement exhibits a dividend of 42 francs per share for the first six months of the year, and of 43 francs per share for the subsequent six months, making the annual dividend of 1830 amount to 85 francs, besides reserves of 12i francs per share. lu the whole of 1829, the dividends amounted to 64 francs, and the re serves to 2 franca per share. The increase of profit last year has therefore been of 21 francs. THE ARMY. ( From the Limerick Evening Post.) The 37th Regiment has completed its establishment. Fifty-five remarkably fine young men have been enlisted at head-quarters, Waterford. We believe that the 37th is the first regiment that has completed its establishment. Lieut. Caldwell is at present Acting Paymaster of the 99th depot, at Clare Castle, in the room of Lieut. Wharton, deceased. It is supposed that the next Gazette will announce his official appointment in this department, which would be highly satisfactory to the officers and men. There are four recruiting patties from the 99th stationed in England, from which the regiment has not yet received a single recruit. On Monday morning the recruiting detachments of the 4th, 11th, and 13th Dragoons, and the 16th Lancers, who have been recruiting for some time past in London, marched for Maidstone. A troop of the 7th Hussars arrived at Armagh on Thursday, from Dundalk, commanded by Captain Vivian. The battalion of Royal Artillery at Athlone, under command of Lieut.-Colonel Douglas, is ordered to Charle mon t, Moy. 11I'Gregor has taken the command ofihe depot of the 93d Highlanders, at Brecon, South Wale E.—. the detachment at Newport was replaced last week. THE SNOW STORM. (From the Scofenzan.) At the dawn yesterday, a thaw commenced in this city, and appearances for several hours warranted the Lope that the storm was nearly at an end. By noon, however, the flakes of snow became unusually large—the wind rose to a hurricane, and the air was so dark that no person could see farther than a hundred yards distance. About sunset the wind moderated, but the snow continued to fall till a late hour last night. During the day the town had a striking appearance. Every window, every chink and cranny, were filled with snow, and it lay piled along the pavements in continued heaps, varying in depth from two to four feet. All out-door business was of course nearly suspended. There are grounds to apprehend that this storm has extended to the pastoral counties in the north, and that the great ewes will have suffered severely. It has been very severely felt in .Perthshire. On Wednesday the Donne and Callander post was obliged to return, having with great difficulty pushed forward, on a stout horse, about four miles from Stirling. The guard of the Tally-Ho' coach, a strong and resolute man, though having the best of horses, on Tuesday found it impossible to drive his coach from Dundee to this city. In a private letter to a friend, he says, " I have been obliged to atop at Ballmulo. In many places on the road the snow is ten feet deep ; northwards it is still deeper. Besides the injury done to the vessels, I have been informed by a friend that it will require upwards of 2,0001. to re pair the damage done to the harbour of Dundee by the frightful tempest of Tuesday night. The storm continues, and in consequence I cannot tell when I shall reach Edin burgh." During the afternoon of yesterday, the London mail of Wednesday reached the Post-office, and the following mails were due at five o'clock, viz.—two London, one North, four Dumfries, two Carlisle, and one Glasgow. Besides one London mail, there arrived yesterday—one Carlisle and two North, at forty-five minutes past one and one at eight A. 31. The Glasgow mail arrived this forenoon. The storm raged with great violence till three o'clock this morning. The snow was so heavy at that hour, that it stopped the clock on the Canongate gaol. The storm has been severely felt in Leith. The wind, or rather the hurricane, being from the cast, there were on Thursday certainly not less than 150 vessels of various descriptions driven into the roads. On Thursday morning the brig Diamond, Crosbie, with ballast, belonging to Sunderland, while running for the harbour, went on the Black Rocks. The crew saved themselves in the long boat. Yesterday the wind was so strong from the S.E. that not a vessel attempted to leave the harbour. It is re ported that several vessels have been driven ashore at various places in the Firth. It is said the guard and driver of the Dumfries and Edinburgh mail, finding it impossible to get on with either coach or horses, set off from Moffat on foot, with the mails strapped upon them ; the next morning, Wednesday, the bags were found tied up, as if to attract notice, upon one of the directing posts on the road, but no trace of the men had been discovered, though much search had been made for them. It was betwixt Moffat and Tweedshaws, on a wild part of the road, that the mail-bags were found. Am.—On Monday snow began to fall and continued without intermission throughout the whole day. The snow is now so deep on the Portpatrick road, that the Irish mail had to be carried between Stranraer and Girvan on a man's back. We understand the roads to the south are almost itnpasaille.—Ayr _Advertiser.

At Berwick they were detained half an hour for horses. Three miles north of Belford the roads were blocked up so completely, that they were obliged to he conveyed over fields. From Belford they were carried ou five horses to Cockburn's Path ; and from thence to Edin burgh in a post-chaise, where they arrived between three and four o'clock.
