But such apprehensions a nswer to the demand of the exercise of r er °gati ve f or t h e express b ene fi t, and at the 41 i nstance, of the mass of the population. is the opinion of persons who have stu our la titutional history, that the Bill, as of various regulations relating to th e composition of the Commons ° f Parli ament, does not legally require 444 of th e L ords, b ut has t h e f orce o f P °ll the mere ratification of the KING.— le Piti i°n is worthy of attention, at least, bel°llgh•party ; for it is supported by an O f a strictly constitutional charac ' suc h as are quite independent of the merit s of the Bill.

An answer has been received from Lord Melbourne to the memorial, declining, on the part of Government, to institute the inquiry prayed for, and pointing out to the citizens the mode that should be adopted for redress. The following is a copy of the communication from his Lordship : " Home-office, Nov. 16, 1631. " have the honour of acknowledging the receipt of a memorial, numerously signed by merchants, bankers, traders, and other inhabitants of the city of Bristol, deeply lamenting the riotous and disgraceful proceedings which have recently occurred in that city, and the sad destruction of property resulting therefrom ; stating further, that the lives and properties of the citiz,ins were entirely at the mercy of a desperate mob, and that the memo rialists are firmly convinced that all this might have been prevented if proper precautions had been adopted, and earnestly requesting that I would cause an investigation to be instituted, as the only course that will pacify the mind of the public, and restore confidence in future. " It is certainly to me no matter of surprise that so large a number of the inhabitants of Bristol, who have signed the memorial should feel themselves deeply affected by the melancholy events which have recently taken place in that city, and that they should be most anxious to seize the earliest opportunity and the most effectual means of relieving themselves from the imputation of having either encouraged or permitted such lawless and out.. regent's violence. It is impossible not entirely to agree with the memorialists that the fullest and strictest in stigation which the law authorizes and empowers is re quired to be instituted into the conduct of both the civil and military authorities. If there is reason to presume that these unfortunate events have had their origin in supine ness, neglect of duty, or delinquency, such delinquency should be inquired into by due process of law, and accord ing to the established forms of legal proceeding. If the disastrous results which have been witnessed are to be at tributed to an imperfect and inadequate constitution of the civil authorities, such imperfection can only be remedied and supplied by the exercise of the Royal prerogative, or by the intervention of the power of the Legislature. " I am not aware of any other coulee being open either to Government or to individuals, which would be sanctioned by precedent in this county, or conformable to the laws and the Constitution, and it therefore becomes my duty to request you to assure the memorialists that in either case his Majesty's Government will be most anxious to receive all the information which can be collected relative to the late calamitous disturbances at Bristol, to give to it their most attentive consideration, and submit it to those advisers who are the most competent to decide upon its import and bearing, and to adopt upon it such measures as may be required either of animadversion upon the past, or of pre caution for the future. " I have the honour to remain, Sir, " Your faithful and obedient set vant, " MELBOURNE. " James E. Bailie, Esq.. &c." This answer has excited the greatest interest; and the question among the citizens now is, What is to be done ? what course should we follow ? The Committee ap pointed at the late public meeting has been called together to-day, and means will be taken to have a pul4ic meeting convened forthwith, to resolve upon the measures that should be pursued. The Court of Inquiry, relative to the conduct of Colo nel Brereton, assembled to-day at the Merchants'-hall, at eleven o'clock, to enter upon an investigation. It has been resolved that the Court shall be a close one, and no spectators were, of course, admitted. The following is a copy of a hand-bill circulated with reference to the in quiry : ‘. Bristolians—There is a Court of Inquiry to be held at the Merchants' Hall, Kiaig-street, this day, Thursday, 17th instant, at eleven o'clock, with regard to the conduct of Colonel Brereton, which, it must be remembered, did not injure your frit nds and relatives during the late riots. We all know that Colonel Brereton used every constitu tional and justifiable means to disperse the people. Let those who can bear testimony in his favour, go forward and volunteer their evidence." A reward of 1001. has been advertised to-day to he given upon the discovery of the incendiaries who attempted to set fire to the premises of Messrs. Wild and Son, of Radcliffe-street, on Saturday night last. A report is circulating through this city, that there has been great rioting at Merthyr Tydvil, and that the mili tary has suffered in the conflict that took place. I merely give you the report, but cannot say on what foundation it rests. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(TITS'DAY.) MASON V. wEssmit. In this case Mr. EvAsrs applied for a rule to show cause why the execution which had issued should not be set aside with coats. The caseappeared to he as follows : A son of the defendant bought a horse from the plaintiff, for which the defendant had, at different times, paid to the amount of 101. For the balance he was served with a copy of a writ, on which he went to the attorney of the plaintiff and paid a further sum of 1/. to account, and proceedings were stayed. The defendant heard no more of the matter till a bailiff came to his house and levied an execution on his goods. Upon this the defendant, ac companied by a friend, again called upon the attorney and remonstrated with him upon such a proceeding. The only answer given by the attorney was, " did you not sign a cognovit ?" The defendant said " No." The attorney 'hen said, " 0, I thought you did," and walked out of the The Learned Gentleman stated, that this fact was sworn to, both by the defendant and the friend who accom panied him, and the defendant further swore, that he never did sign any cognovit.—The Court granted the rule. Mr. STARIIE applied on behalf of Mr. Tomlins, the town clerk of the borough of Richmond, that he (Mr. Tomlin') might be allowed to make his ream of the fines levied in that borough by affidavit. The Learned Gentleman stated that for the last year there had been only one fine of five pounds levied, and on his agent applying at the Exchequer-office in Somerset house to make the return, he was informed that it could not be received except made personally, or a commission must issue to see that the return was properly made. Ile considered that, as the sum was so small, it would be too much that Mr. Tomlins should be put to the expence of coming up from Yorkshire, or that an expence of three guineas should be incurred for a commission. The COURT granted the application, and stated they would make it a general rule, that where the sum was under five pounds the return might be made by an affidavit. urLLTEE. v. CAMPBELL. This was a case of trespass, in which the plaintiff re covered damages for 2701. Early in the term Mr. Follet obtained a rule to skew cause why the damages should not be reduced, or a new trial had on the ground of the damages being excessive. This morning Mr. C. F. WILLIAMB chewed cause against the rule. He stated that the trespass fur which such damages were given was not a common case of tres pass, but one which was much aggravated by insult. The plaintiff was a large and respectable farmer, and the defendant, Colonel Campbell, a Commissioner of Excise and a Magistrate, who employed workmen to make a pub lic road through a park of the plaintiff. The plaintiff, when he found out what was going forward, gave notice to the defendant to cease. In reply, the defendant said " you, if you say any thing more, I will put on more men." The plaintiff then gave a written notice, hut the workmen still continued working, when the son-in-law went to the plaintiff to remonstrate with him, and said you have re ceived a written notice, and therefore you must know you aie acting wrong. The defendant said, " Yes, I have re ceived notice," at the same time taking it out of his pocket, when he tore it up and threw the pieces in the gentleman's face, saying the plaintiff was a purse-proud fellow. The workmen contnued at work for three weeks, when they were restrained and the action brought. The Learned Coun•el considered the insults given such an aggrava tion as to justify the damages given, and cited several cases where the Judges held that large damages were the best means of restraining wealthy men from insulting others, who were inferior to them in station, and they would never interfere in such cases, with the verdict given by the Jury. Lord LYNDHURST here interrupted the Learned Gen tleman, and suggested that a comproniise between the par ties would be the best means of settling the matter. Mr. WILLIAMS was willing to take half of the verdict. The COURT thought 1001. would satisfy the justice of the case. The actual damage was only 131. Mr. Witi.tAats would take the 100/. if 301. was paid for the expence of a journey into Lancashire, which the plaintiff had taken to see if his landlady had given the defendant leave as he alleged. Mr. FOLLETT, for the defendant, would much rather that the cause should be argued fully before their Lord ships, but would not proceed against so strong an opinion as was expressed by the Court. After a long conversation it was settled that the rule be discharged, and the verdict reduc d .o 1201. room. PALACE CO URT.-(THIS DAY.) HAYCROFT V. WHIFFEN. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the aura of 11. 18s. Id., being the balance of a bill of Si. for ironmongery goods supplied by the plaintiff to the defendint. The parties live at Deptford. The amount of the damages having been proved, Mr Ross on the part of the defendant, submitted that the plaintiff was not entitled to recover in this action. There was no question as to the amount of 11. 18s. ld. being due, and being the balance of a larger sum. Those facts being undisputed, the plainCff's remedy should have been by suing the defendant in the Court of Requests for the hundred of Blackheath, within which the defendant's residence was situated. He (Mr. Ross) should contend, that, under the Act of Parliament by which the Black heath Court of Requests was constituted, the plaintiff was not only liable to be nonsuited, but also to pay the defendant treble costs. That Court was esta blished for the recovery of debts under forty shillings, by the Act of the sth George 111., chap. S. That Act was further extended and explained by the 10th George 111., chap. 29. The third section of the latter Act stated that if any suit for a debt of less than 405., contracted within the district of the hundred of Blackheath, be carried into any other Court than that, the defendant might plead the general issue ; and if the defendant be proved to reside within the limits of the Court, ju !gment should be entered for the defendant, and the plaintiff should be liable to pay treble costs. The ques tion therefore was, whether the debt sought to be recovered was under 405., and whether the defendant resided within the jurisdiction of the Blackheath Court ; these were in the Learned Counsel's opinion established in the affirma tive, and therefore the plaintiff could not recover. The Learned Counsel cited the case of Clarke and Asken in supp-rt of his argument, which was tried before Lord El enhorough, which was a question as to the jurisdiction of the Southwark Court of Requests. Mr. CAPRON, for the plaintiff, submitted that the pre sent was not the time to make the objection. The questio❑ of residence within the jurisdiction of the Blackheath Court, and the amount of the debt, were solely for the consideration of the Jury. The Acts cif Parliament referred to stated that the defendant should prove the amount of the debt and jurisdiction, &c. Now no evidence had been given by the defendant to prove those requisites. The Learned JUDGE said it was at present purely a question for the Jury, whether they were satisfied of the amount and residence. The Foreman of the Jury said he and his brethren were satisfied of these facts. The Learned JunGE left it to the Jury, that if they found the debt to be under 408., and the residence to be within the jurisdiction of the Blackheath Court, it would be their duty to 4iirl a verdict for the defendant, The Jury found a verdict for the defendant. The JUDGE then gave the defendant's Cognsel sn op. portunity to move to enter a verdict for the plaintiff, with 1/. 18s. Id. &images, if his directio❑ to the Jury should appear to he wrong.

Accounts from Warsaw state that the Field-Marshal has pub lished an Order of the Day, addressed by the Emperor of Russia to the Polish army, to the following purport : " Fortune has crowned our effbrts : the rebellion has been put down, and the kingdom of Poland has returned to the Russian empire. The vanquished, seeing that an end has been put to their enterprises, have now blessed our victories. Now that peace is re-established, maintain discipline in your ranks, to pre serve the ancient benevolence for you, as well as the love, or der, and attachment to our throne, and the veneration towards Russia." _ _ . Information from Rome states that the Duchess of Berri had arrived there on the 31st of October, with her son. On her ar rival there, she was visited by the three Cardinals of Bohan. The accounts from Brussels mention that the Dutch troops have made a retrograde movement, and are preparing to go into cantonments. It is reported that 29,000 Austrian troops are on the march for Gavarette, the frontiers of the Simplon, to form a camp of ma nceuvre ; a 5,000 moreareproceeddig to Monte Chiard. They write from Berlin of the 9th instant, that during the week an animated discussion took place between the King of Prussia and the Prince Royal, and it is said that in this interview peace or war was to be decided, and that his Majesty, to prove to his son, as well as to the Emperor of Russia, that he was deter mined to maintain peace, gave orders for the artillery in the Rhenish provinces to be put on a peace establishment. Accounts from the Hague, in the French Papers of the 7th instant, state that Sir C. Bagot, the English Minister there, had a particular audience of the King of Holland, soon after he re. ceived an English Cabinet messenger from London, and it is said that he is on the eve of his departure. THE FUNDS. The public are in expectation that the time for the meeting of Parliament will appear in the Gazelle of this evening, and the secrecy of the Ministers, in not making known their future in tentions, is much approved of in the city, as it prevents specula tions injurious to the public.

It is said that the corps has already received reinforce ments from the interior, two divisions of cavalry and four of infantry, which arc to reprice the Imperial Guards. It is re markable that the destruction of the fortifications of Warsaw has been stopped, which confirms the retort of a bad spirit prevailing in the country, in copsenurnce of which the Russian General has taken a position as if he were in an enemy's country. A totter rezejvgd by the estafette from Brusseis states, that a courier from London lia: 1 arrived there, and was the bearer of a new Protocol, by which the Five rowers recognize Leopold a King of Belgium.

CHOLERA AT SUNDERLAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN., St R,—From the diwastrous news of yesterday we looked for still more gl• omy tidings from Sunderland to-day. Happily our forebodings have not been realized. There are three new cases of malignant cholera and three deaths, so that the disease remains in the same state. Though opinions are still somewhat at variance as to the character of this complaint, the prevailing belief here is undoubtedly that it is the Asiatic or Continental cho lera. A very short period will certainly put an end to all conjecture on the subject. Notwithstanding we are only twelve miles from Sunderland, and there is a continued intercourse going on by land every hour of the day be tween that town and Newcastle, we have happily so far escaped. Persons who espouse opposite hypotheses will no doubt adduce this as an argument to support their Own views : contag4mists will attribute our escape to the prudent measures of precaution we have adopted ; non-contagicnists will cite it as a proof that, Continen tal cholera though it might be, it was not to be extended, as some had imagined, by contagion. If our safety be continued, I shall be too much rejoiced at our good fortune to quarrel with either set of gentle men on account of their theories. 1 a m, Sir, your obedient servant, A MEMBER OF THE NEWCASTLE BOARD OF HEALTH. Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Wednesday Night, Nov. 16, 1851. P.S. A hand-bill has been issued to-day, which con sists of Dr. Headlam's report (addressed to the Mayor) on the cause of the porter Armstrong's death, which I men tioned in my letter of the 14th as having excited alarm, in consequence of there being some suspicious symptoms. The Doctor says, " The immense coat of the stomach was in a completely gangrenous state, and it appeared that disease of an inflammatory nature had existed in his bowels for a considerable time previous to the supposed commencement of his illness." NEWCASTLE, Nov. 19. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-Though you have numerous correspondents re specting the cholera, as I go to a different market for my intelligence to most of them, this letter may not he deemed an intrusion. The opinion I expressed in my last letter I have had more reason from observation to be confirmed in, and on a question of such •vital importance and in tense interest to the community at large, it behoves every one to be cautious how he deals out statements of such a ❑ature as to act upon the fears of the nation, to the alarming extent they have already done. To shew you what the good folks of Sunderland themselves think of the cholera, I send you a copy of a hand-bill which has received general circulation : CHOLERA MORBUS ! ! Any person supplying the Board of Health with a few cases of Asiatic cholera, will receive a liberal and substantial reward, a nd, should none such be obtainable, any number of cases of British origin, however small, will be thankfully received and most gratefully acknowledged. The object of the advertisers being altogether public, un alloyed by any private or personal feeling, morbid desire of pre sent profit, or selfish longings • after future fame or advantage, they trust their fellow-townsmen, placing confidence in their DISINTERESTEDNESS and wisdoni, will endeavour by every means in their power to get up a few - appearances, to save the credit of the firm from the sneers of the credulous, and the aspersions of .he ignorant and malicious. N.B. Apply at the Commission-room, at any hour. No clues ions will be asked, and no mistake dreamt Nov. 12, IKII. take drew qf .I.:SCULAPIUS, Jun. and Co. It is the general opinion in Newcastle now that had not the foreign cholera been raging, the reports from Sunder land would L.ve never been heard of. I have this day been informed by a most respectable medical man, that list year about this time, in Newcastle, he had himself above one hundred cities of British cholera among his own immediate patients, which he attributes not only to the quantity of vegetabl, matter in a state of decay, but to the poor and ill.fed part of the population indulging in bad and unwholesome fruit, which is imported in great quantities from France and other places. To give you a further idea how the spirit of intimid ition rages here, a ca•e of cholera h av ing occured, the par'y afflicted had recourse to a dose of Epsom salts, which, being taken in too large a dose, purged hint very violently, and (as they invariably do when taken in large quantities) rendered him costive after wards ; this, together with the disease, proved fatal, and the consequence is that the Mayor has issued a hand-bill, cautioning the inhabitants against taking Epsom it ilts. At a late meeting at. Sunderland of the Beard of Health, a gentleman (Mr. Smithson) was stopped in his address by the Chairman (George Robinson, Esq.) before he hail been on his legs five minutes, under the pretence that he was protracting his observations, but the fact was he was en deavouring to shew the indescribable injury the false alarms they wi re spreading were likely to inflict upon the town. The almost univeral feelinl, both at the meeting and by the inhabitants at large is, that the publication of Dr. Clanny's certificate in the London Papers has been the means of creating, a false alarm, much to the injury of Sunderland. I will mention another fact to give you some idea as to the professional knowledge of some of the Sunderland faculty. A woman was reported by a member of them to he afflicted with a malignant case of cholera, and Dr. Daun was called in, when he returned au answer to the Board of He ilth, stating that she had no symptom of cholera about her, but she really was ill in consrquence of having been STABBED IN TIIE BELLY BY A SHARP INSTRUMENT, and had received some severe bruises about the face. There has been no case of cholera in the suburbs of the town ; and were the truth told, there have been very few in it. Among the persons who have died (who were all in a state of abject poverty, and had subjects) is the veteran Jack Crawford, who during the engagement between Ad miral Duncan and De Winter, nailed the flag to the mast head after it had been shot away. Rest assured, Mr. Editor, that the report of the Asiatic cholera being in Sunderland has no other foundation than that which rests upon the suspicious basis of interest. Dr. Clanny, I understand, already feels it necessary to defend some parts of his conduct ; I hope he will be able to defend it all to the satisfaction of Sunderland. I a m, Sir, your's obediently, A. B. SHEFFIELD, Nov. 16. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. s iR ,LI should not have troubled you at present but for an interesting and unanimous meeting that took place this evening of the members of the Political Union. At the Council meeting on Thursday last it was su4gested by Ed wad Barker, Esq., the propriety of th e mem b ers o f t h e Union tendering their services to the Magisttate, in the event of any disturbance, to protect the public peace, which was ably supported by J. S. Btamball, E.g., the result of which was a reeo'ution to call the members of the Union together on the 16th instant. The mt eting was accordingly held this evening at the Town-hall, Pr, Knight in the chair, who stated the object fo; which they were called together, viz., to express their undivided and untnimous attachment to the Keform pill, and their de termination to support the King, his Aliniste;-s, and the local authorities of the district, preserving order at this evintful crisi4! Epwartp BARKER, Esq., proposed the first resolution, and larief/y showed the necessity, while such demagogues as the nittfrigess Member for Preston were endeavouring to sow discord, disunion, and even anarchy amongst tlyi people, or all classes being united. 1 S. BRAMRALL, Esq., once a gallejlt yeomanry man, but lately retired from that Wi'vice, expressed his entire concurrence iu the remarks made by Mr. Barker, and his readiness to act in any capacity the Union and the Magis trates might deem most proper for the preservation of the public peace, LirtiE PALf.REYMAN, Esq., in an eloquent speech, proposed the second resolution. He stated that although he was pet fectly satisfied, from past experience and know ledge of the inhabitants of Sheffield, they would all ra ther assist in protecting the peace of the town than in hrealSintr, it 4 still, when he recollected that attempts were b e i n g made to divert the people from the great measure of Reform—addresses being circulated from unkcown dgals ca;ling on the people to ". arise aid awake," and that cii.cui ar had b een received by the secretary o from M anc h ester, inviting a " deputy or f a le fls p ot u ha t e ie P s ‘rT'inn t in to attend a ttend A meeting there on that very day to e xpress the opinion of the nation agains,t their "oppressive rulers," he, foT one, though be h a il never fi re d a gun i n lui willing t o j o i n hi s brother Reformers, and reoilel" :ill the aid in his power. the resolatin surgeon, in a nea t s p eec h, su ppo r t e d Mr. Jacxso ll , Mr. Litit.xv proposed, and Mr. 81.1.7,C,ri0AD seconded, the third resolution, tenderies the services, if required, of the member s of tonon to the ',Magistrates, in the event of any disturbance ; the same to be communicated to the Magistratei by a deputation from the Council. - Thanks were then voted to the chairraan, after which the meeting separated, referred to the oppiments of Reform, and ettp,.cie, the remark that when the various spealtyrs ber for Preston, the orMtempt and execra malttel:l;:e4Y-moi iipp o f quit H o „„„ - 7 -49 Prc.04 Niegliker of the British House of CR7 7 r v'A 4 41 44% 101 k 1 convince me, that if he had ap pew in 4iheffield he would have met with a reception by no means palatable, and that would have p ro ved to h: 1 0 . , glossing-ship th ere was no re-action byre. Thy, 4 l l 1174, feeling, I tan glad to say, prevails in Nottingham. In that town, when this ungrateful fellow was in Ilchester gaol, the Reformers sent him 431. ; but had he visited that independent borough while he was on his corruption• tour, instead of receiving the same bonus, he would have been sent to some place worse t►ian Coventry. There is one little circumstance which I cannot help noticing before I conclude this communication, viz., the desire that seems to prevail amongst the artizans of this incorruptible and loyal town, that while they are unani mous on the question of Reform, and will strain every nerve to effect its being carried, they are making arrange ments for periodical lectures for their own especial instruc tion. I believe also they intend having a public meeting for the purpose of having a Mechanic ,, 'lnstitute--in short, for the erection of a building which will coalmen:orate the advancement of knowledge. All the leading men have declared in favour of the object. This is gratifying, and I have only to say I wish them God-speed. YOUR CORRESPONDENT. POLITICAL UNIONS. Copy of a letter from Joseph Hume, Esq. M.P., directed to Mr. Abraham Gole, one of the church wardens of the parish of St. George in the East " Tonbridge Wells, 12th November, 1831. ‘‘ am favoured with your letter of the 10th instant, and regret exceedingly that my absence from town prevents my attending your public meeting. " If you, or any of the gentlemen of your Committee, could call at the Crown and Anchor, you would see Mr. Perry, or some of the Council, who would give you a copy of their resolutions, which are clear and intelligible, and which, in whole or in part, you can adopt as the basis of •our Union. I consider the Reform Bill only as the means by which we can obtain all the Reforms which are requisite in the Government—civil, military, and clerical ; and I think, in every parish there should be an Union of all the middle classes mixed with the working or operatives, for two ob jects—first, to he ready co support the civil power to maintain peace, for the protection of persons and property, and to guard against the possibility of such scenes as have tak , n placein Bristol. Second, To be ready to express the opinion of the parish on the propriety of any public measure ; and in case the Ministers. or the House of Com mons are lukewarm in the cause of the people, to uree them to the perforManee of their duty. Th. Tories, up to the present moment, declare that the people do not really ' call for Reform, but that it is only a few Radicals who are inciting the people to demami Reform. The existence of Parish and of Centrical Unions, will be the best mode of calling forth the opinion of the country, and as such I shall be happy to hear that you, and the greater part of your district have enrolled them selves. " Again expressing my regret that I cannot be present, " I remain, your ob. irnt servant, (Signed) " JOSEPH 11E11E." TO THE EDITOR OF THE S U.N. Str.,—On the 6th June, 1828, I addressed you a letter on the subject of the Duke of Wellington's unceremonious dismissal of Mr Iluskisson from the Cabinet. In this letter, which you did me the honour to insert in your columns, I stated, from an intimate knowledge of the Duke's character, what was his object in doing so, an , ! what would be his subsequent conduct; This prophecy (on which I plume myself not a little) was fulfilled to the letter. It is not at all improbable, from the present aspect of affairs, that something of the sane kind is now going on, and th it the Duke is whispering to the King somewhat in the following strain :—" Lord Grey tells your Majesty that he cannot answer for carrying the Reform Bill with out a new creation of Peers, (to which exertion of the Royal prerogative your Majesty is very justly averse.) and that if your Majesty do not consent to this he must resign. Well, let him go ! and I and my friends will come in and carry the Retorm Bill, on which your Majesty has set your heart ; and that without any additional Peers, as I did the Catholic question." But this trick won't succeed a second time. The Tories shall not have the credit of a measure to which they have been all their lives opposed. If Lord Grey be ousted. let him " be brought hack on the shoulders of the people ;" and let us put no faith in those heartless statesmen who concede to expediency uh it they deny to principle. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Lymington, Nov. 17, 1831. AN OLD SOLDIER. P. S. If you were to republish the letter to which I have ended, it might help to put people on their guard against the old fox. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. TO TEE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Ste,—Although your strictures on the Duke of Wellington, for his late treatment of Mr. Huskisson, are just and well-me rited, yet I think you have mistaken his object in wishing to rid the Ministry of that valuable servant of the public. The Duke of Wellington is reported to be open, manly, and altogether devoid of cunning. So he is as long as straightfor ward force (the most ostensible feature in his character) will do his business ; but where art is required to effect his purpose, no one is deeper. I have served under him from the beginning of his career as a General in India, almost to its conclusion In Europe, and I know him well. The Duke has penetration enough to see that public opinion points towards liberal measures, and seems to know that he can not rule without having public opinion on his side. Therefore 1 have no doubt that he intends to pursue a liberal system, and that he purposes even to carry the Catholic Bill; but then he will allow no one to share the glory—it must be all his own. This is the key to his late con uct in getting rid of the Can ningites, who, had they remained in the Ministry, would doubt t le o s n s t h e, a n v p e gained iation,anadll by y he ed u e l r iieh it of he,s tl i \c l . t m al, ea e su il r , e o %ich he has ~ , s. he ultras in who are now rubbing their hands and chuckling at his successful Generalship in ousting the liberal party. Had it been his object to rule as an Ultra Tory he would have recruited his Ministry entirely from that party, instead of filling up the vacancies from his own followers, whom no one will sus pect of having an opinion of their own in the Cabinet, more than they had to the field.—l am,Sir, your obedient servant, Lymington, June 6, 18.

For our own parts, we do not , iwi4) others to be concluded by our reasonings, or to adopt our views; but we have considered the subject with all the attention of which we are capable, and we do not see that any advantage can be gained by de lay. If the Bill is to be defeated, it might as we ll be defeated before Christmas as after. If it is to be carried by the creation of additional Peers, that creation might as well take place before Christmas as after. if it be uncertain whether the creation of fresh Peers be necessary or not, that matter may as well be put to the proof immediately, as after Christmas. Nothing, therefore, can be lost by promptitude; but delay and expectation, it is well known, on higher authority than ours, " make the heart sick." We have all the component prin c;ples of success now in action which we can ever hope for, or can in truth ever exist ; but ,vliat unfavourable changes may intervene itt the lapse of time, no one can foresee. This we know for certain,—that the enemies of Reform are beginning to speak of the de- . lay of Ministers %‘ith joy and exultation. They blazon it—they put it forth as a test of wavering in some quarter or other; and that which excites their triumph cannot but operate to our injury. If there he, therefore, in the Ministry any ind victual member sincerely anxious for the 'Reform Bill—as we are -ure L.ll are—and still hesitating to act, we would % ish such a person seriously to ask himself what Specific object he proposes by delay; and we are. •ore—let hitoturn his.-mind whichever way he mar —it will suggest to him no such object.
