My LORD,—I have addressed you as lute in her Majesty's household. Had I done other wise you might have complained fitly of a viru lent attack on your honour as a Peer, as a gen tleman, as a man of common honesty. I con clude you resigned your office the moment you ventured to put your name to the Address of the Kentish malcontents, against the measures and the Ministers of the Queen's Royal Con sort. But, my Lord, I still consider you to have committed a most gross outrage on decorum, and to have violated every duty to your Royal Mistress, in becoming a party to that inflamma tory Address while you still remained in her employ, though doubtless you have since given it up. It might be very well for such men a' the consistent Earl of Jersey or the Rev. Earl of Guildford to sign such trash. Where the former got his new light as to the present Mi nisters, his old and valued friends, I know not ; nor do I know where the latter ever got any thing like light at all; nor do I feel in a condi tion to say whether the domestic sovereigns of either Earl commanded these signatures. Sure I am that one of them durst as soon have put his hand in the fire as set it to anything his lady and mistress did not perfectly approve. In truth I Suspect he only acted by orders on this as on most other occasions. But you-you can have no excuse ; you cannot have been ordered to act the part you have done. In making of yourself a greater fool than nature had made you, it . was not in compliance with your 9uistres.4's mands; it was in dcfiance of her displeasure - ; it was a gross anti scandalous breach of all the duty you owed her. Therefore, although Ido not slander you by even suspecting you of so incredible a meanness as keeping your place after betraying your trust ; though I do not think you, or, indeed, any man, of almost any sta -tion, capable of doing so grovelling a thing, for the sake of a few hundreds a year, I must still severely blame you for not resigning till after you had done an act tending to throw discredit on the pure honour and untarnished good faith of the Sovereign. If, indeed, it should turn out that you are still in office ; if the most abject of all degra dation has really befallen you, and you cling by your place until you compel her Majesty, in de fence of her own honour, and in discharge of the highest duty she owes to her Royal Husband, to do an act you know her good feelings in stinctively recoil from, then I can only say you have no parallel left in the history of political. baseness, and you have cast in the shade the conduct, eleven years ago, of that Earl to whom, a few weeks ago, a question NOT YET ANSWERED, was put, respectfully, but plainly, by DETECTOR. Two facts are fit to be well considered, and deeply pondered upon at the present eventful moment. Mr. Dowdeswell, a fierce Anti-Re former, who voted against the Bill in both stages, has been fain to pledge himself to his constituents to support " the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill." Mr. E. Peel, at Newcastle-under-Line, has given the same pledge. The latter gentleman is Sir Robert Peel's first cousin, and he comes into Par liament, of course, to support his kinsman and the head of his family. Now, many reflec tions crowd upon the mind in meditating on these facts. The first and most gratifying is the evidence they afford that the Bill is tri umphant and omnipotent. This is past all doubt. But this we knew before. What we did not know was, though we might suspect it, that those stout Anti-Reformers were, in reality, so little alarmed at a measure which they pre tended to think the overthrow of the Con titution. It is now plain that they, and among them the Peel family, after all, do not think there is any danger whatever in the Bill. If they did, of course they never could think of voting for it. But what an odd thing it is to find some of them all the while bawling among the Cambridge parsons that the Church and the Salto will be involved in one indiscri minate ruin by the measure ! Surely Mr. W. Peel can't have expected that Mr. Edmund Ditto would so soon " let the cat out of the bag." His prudent elder brother, Sir Robert Ditto, keeps his bag much tighter drawn. Not even a kitten will get out of it till the right moment—nay, not a hair— or a w hisker of poor, dear, Grimalkin will be seen. The right mouse must first come in view ; and then— oh then, w© admit, the bag will open and the spring be made. But does any one who recol lects 1828 and 1829 doubt that this moment will come? Only recollect how Mr. Robert travelled in the. much-loved and congenial stuff districts in the autumn of 1828, after he had prepared to swallow Catholic Emancipation ; after lie had, as it were, bagged his cat. There he was at dinners, and at break fasts, and at public luncheons, and at christenings, with his bag as tight as a cocoa nut, and looking as lank as if no cat had been in it. There lie travelled, and there he feasted, and there he toasted the Church and the Protestant cause. No cat ever stirred ; but all of a sudden, a few weeks after, " out jumped she." Now all we would suggest, by way of a query, is—who will ensure us that she is not go ing•to jump again ? RUSSIAN NOBLEMEN AT THE STAMFORD ELECTION.—Two Russian noblemen, who have been some time in England, expressed a wish to Mr. POULETT THOMSON to observe the humours of a contested election. That distinguished Statesman recommended them to Stamford, on the ground that the greatest battle between the Aristocracy and the people would there take place. During the whole of ti.e election they have been most anxious spectators of the proceedings, and were highly elated with the ultimate triumph of the popular cause. When they return to their native country, they will carry amongst the most barbarous of European communities a reflected light from this little borough.--Stanford News. StIOCKINci ACc I DENT.—OuThursday night, just before the conclusion of thu performance at Astley's, Alias BURNETT, one of the figurantes, in performing one at her evolutions, by some means slipped, and fell with considerable violence on the stage. • Some of the perfor liters immediately ran and raised her up, when it was dis covered that she had broken one of her legs just below the knee. A coach was instantly procured, and she was con veyed to St. Thomas's Hospital. LUKE DILLON.—The sentence of death, Which was to have been carried into effect upon this un fortunate man on Saturday next, has been commuted to transportation (or life. An official notification from the Castle, announcing the fact, was yesterday morning trans ittitted to the Pig,' Sheriffs. The notice was immediately [live n to Mr. DILLoN, who appeared to receive it with e otqlete indifferem.;e, a matter which should excite but little surprise, as he had been known to state long before t he slightest hope of mercy could be entertained by him, t hat he thought hanging, in comparison with perpetual tr ansportation, would be the lesser punishment of the two. T he authorised intelligence of a reprieve was received at ._"ewgate about twelve o'clock , and in a short time after wards Mr. DILLoN's irons were struck off, although it W as at the same time stated to him that no distinction °child or would be made between him and other persons ''cnvicteti of offences against society. In a few days he is t° be removed to the hulk, and will as soon as possible be sent out to Botan Bay.—Dablin Paper. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONK O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

OYAL and PATRIOTIC FUND. The LIST of SUBSCRIPTIONS received since May 4, up to this evening, will appear in the Morning Papers of Monday next. Crown and Anchor, May 7. TO THE MAYOR, BAILIFFS, AND COMMON ALTY, of the CITY of WINCHESTER. GENTLEMEN, LACED at the H ea d o f- t h e P o il b y a a large Majority of Freemen, I acknowledge, with the most heartfelt gratitude, the di4tinga'sherl manner in which, for the fifth time, you have elected me to represent you in Parliament. Carrying with me so high and honourable a testimonial of my past conduct, I shall in the ensuing Parliament, be animated to furthecexertions to obtain your future appro bation 7 vtd I believe I shall he'd attain thii object by steady and unflinching . support of the Bill for reforming the Representation of the People. _ I have already evinced my opinion of that measure by my conduct during the last Parliament; and you may rest assured that I shall give it the same determined and eager support whenever it shall come before that which is now about to meet. I regret much that my unavoidable departure for So mersetshire, to assist two accepted Reformers, will prevent me paying you my personal respects. I trust that I shall soon have it in my power to do so, and in the mean time request you will believe me, with sincere attachment and gratitude, . Your Faithful Friend, and a Staunch Reformer, PAULET ST. J. 1111LDMAY. Winchester, May, 2, 1831. TO THE GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, AND FREE HOLDERS of the COUNTY of NORTHAMPTON. GENTLEMEN, THE suddenness with which a contest for the Representation of this County has arisen, ren ders it utterly impossible for me to attempt anything like a canvass. Did I ask for your support as a matter of personal favour, this necessary emission would be of greater importance. Were lan untried man, whose prin ciples and opinions were unknown to you, it might and would be essential that you should have the opportunity of inquiring of me, individually, what those principles and opinions were. But I offer myself to you on public grounds; in supporting me, you know the opinions which I have always avowed, and the principles on which I have always acted ; if, therefore, you approve of those opinions and principles, I ask you to express that approbation, by giving me your support., More especially on the present occasion, I appear before you as the Advocate of Parlia mentary Reform : no man now in existence is more pledged to this Great Cause than myself—l may almost say that my very existence, as a public man, depends upon its success. By the Dissolution of Parliament his Majesty has appealed to you on this particular point ; if, therefore, you wish that the People of England shall be fully, fairly, and freely represented in the Commons house of Parlia ment, again I ask you to support a man, whose utmost abilities most he exerted for this important object. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obliged and obedient humble servant, Northampton, May 6, 1831. ALTHORP. , 4444 -4 4 434%. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 7, 1831. We have again to notice in terms of admiration, the patriotic exertions that the electors of the United Kingdom are hourly making in the cause of Reform. We did these high-minded men but bare justice, when we asserted that they were worthy the most unlimited confidence of Government ; that they were staunch toa man, would never betray their trust, but carry Ministers triumphantly through eve!) , obstacle. We protest we scarcely dare give expression to the feelings of affection—of admiration —of reverence which swell within us, when we reflect on the conduct of our heroic countrymen. They have fought like Poles, against tremendous odds and countless resources, with a propriety—a zeal—an unshaken and invincible, but tranquil energy of purpose that other nations may possibly equal, but will never surpass. Look at Hampshire—at Kent—at Surrey—at Dorsetshire—at Northum berland--at Yorkshire—at Cumberland—at West moreland, mark the gallant spirit that is abroad n all these populous counties : the perseverance that no obstacle can daunt; the courage that no despotism can quell ; and then say if there be yet one solitary chance remaining for the bo roughmongers. We warned these misguided men, some time since, to consult the sign's of the times, arid give over a useless struggle ; but they were deaf to all remonstrance, resolved to know the worst, and rush headlong on their fate. Their doom is consequently sealed ! They are down, grovelling in the dust, never to rise again. They who would have still kept the mind of England in irons, have themselves become the victims. Yes, the slave is mas ter now, and his tyrants stand defenceless before him. But though the boroughmongers are thus defeated, this is not enbugh ; they must be annihilated. To draw the teeth, or clip the claws of the lion, is doing little or nothing in the way of self-defence ; the brute must have his brains knocked out. To attempt this last operation on the boroughmongers is, we are aware, perfectly superfluous, and were it even possible, by no means to be commended . on the score of humanity ; still, to drop the language of me taphor, something decisive must be done, and this something must be the continued—unflagging—indo mitable perseverance of the electors of the United Kingdom. They must down with the borough mongers to a man. Not a creature of the squad must be left to cry, Peccavi. Above all, their pro mises of good behaviour for the future must not be trusted, even if backed by ten thousand oaths, for political, like other swindlers are slippery subjects to deal with. Again, then, countrymen, we say, persevere. Come up to the poll like veterans to the charge, united—resolute—undismayed. Above all things, be not persuaded to split your votes. You cannot serve two masters. You must be either wholly in favour of, or wholly opposed to, Reform. We cannot quit this subject, without congratulating the people on the wonderful, the miraculous progress that the great cause has made within the last week. Seven brief days have sufficed to liberate England The great Dukes, aad Marquises, and Earls, who dared to oppose themselves to the wishes of the people, have, each in his turn, been forced to succumb to the popular voice. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND and his Commissioners hare been beaten in their strong-hold's in the North ; the Duke of NEWCASTLE has become cypher at Newark ; the Marquis of ExETER some thing less (if possible) at Stamford ;-the BEAuFoRT .:~ ' interest is on the move at Monmouth; the' DYNE VORS have lost Carmarthen ; the WYNNS are sul lenly resigning themselves to the same impendini calamity in Montgomeryshire. Alas ! for the de ,cendants of GLENDOWER, and the glories of tht House of Wynnstay A little week has sufficed to bring about this mighty change. One little week, within whos, brief space scarce the seed has time to expand, of the shrub, to put forth a leaf, has sufficed to change in lobo the moral and intellectual destinies of ths first Empire in the world ! What will the next week produce ? The cause of Reform goes on swimmingly it. Worcestershire. LYGON is straining every 'serve support the boroughmongers ; but SPENCER and FOLEY are sure to win the day. The whole count) clamours for Reform in a voice of thunder. At the nomination for the Cumberland County Members at Cockermouth, all hands were hell; up for GRAHAM and BLAMIRE ; only twenty .nd these not of the cleanest, for Lord LOWTHER His Lordship in consequence retired much disap pointed, accompanied by a snug family party of some half-dozen friends. The Irish and Scotch elections are just on the. eve of commencing. Those of England and Wales alreldy far advanced, will, before this day's sun sets, have returned nearly a hundred Reform Members, and we now call on the Electors of the two s'ster countries to contribute each her fair proportion to the great cause. Scotland, remember that your struggle is one for life and death. Your very political ex igence depends on the issue. Hitherto you have been one vast rotten borough, it is now your solemn, bounden . duty to shake off your chains, and prove that you deserve to have a free vote in the Legislature. Make your voice heard, and we know it will be respected. Ireland, follow the councils of your experienced guide, O'CONNELL, and bear in mind that you go forth to battle against those pedlar S:atesmen, who, but last year, would have bound you hand and foot, by increasing your taxation, and enslaving your free Press. Remember GOULBURN and his Stamp Acts I We have received the Paris Morning Papers of Thursday by express, from which we make the fol lowing extracts :—The rumours so industriously circulated by the German and Priissian Papers, about the cholera morbus being in the Polish army, are pure inventions. The spirit of insurrec tion spreads far and wide, and we expect in a few days to give some important news from the scene of warfare. If DIEBITSCII but lose one battle more, the game is up with NICHOLAS : (From the Conslitutionsel of Thursday.) WARSAW, APRIL '22.—(Private letter.)—l can assure you positively that the cholera morbus is not in our camp, or in our country, but it is with the Russians, and they sutler severely from it. The Austrians, who are in great fear of its coming into their territory, have tired on some Russians who wanted to escape into Gallicia. The accounts we have received from Dwernicki, are interest ing, his corps now amounts to twenty thousand men, and is continually reinforced by volunteers from Gallicia, the nobility and peasants make common cause with our troops, th patriots already amount to eighteen thousand men, with fourtetu pieces of cannon and ten thousand muskets.; , . . ITALY.—MILAN, APRIL 93.-1 t is now certanyihat tke eva cuation by Austria of the Papal States, will only be partial. P 2,000 Austrians will remain at the most important poiny, and a camp of observation will be formed. The Journal des Debuts is void of information. We have accounts from the'Maurittus of ia late date, which furnish us with the following Proclama• IN THE NAME OF HIS MAJESTY, &C. • , Art. 1. No person whatever can set up i • intolg print any works, matters, or things of lion • without having'previously obtained the) •. • i •• . • • the Government so to do. ton : Art. '2.

Art. 4. Any and every infraction whatever of the three pre. ceding articles shall be punished by a fine of ax) dollars (1001.) By order, RALPti DARLING, Major General Commanding. G. A. BARREY, Chief Secretary of Government. Port Louis, Isle of Mauritius, April 28, 1831.. We have authority to contradic , , in the most po sitive manner, the following paragraph, which ap peared in an Evening Paper (the Standard) of Thursday last, in an article respecting the postpone ment of the KING'S visit to the City :—" At the same time Lord MELBOURNE furnished to the proper authorities in the City, according to usage, a list of the exalted individuals whom the KING would wish to have invited with him. The list thus communi cated became the subject of criticism and remon strance; and when the deputation waited upon the KING yesterday, in consequence of this criticism and remonstrance his MAJESTY declined receiving it." There is no.truth in the above statement. FRENCH PLAYS. Mademoiselle LEONTINE FAY made her first appearance last night, and her success fully warranted the anticipations of her Continental admirers. She has been called, and with great reason, the KELLY of France. Her style of acting is free from affectatimi forcible, and full of point and expression. In the character Of La Marraine, she appeared to us inferior to her ad mirable predecessor. Mademoiselle VERTPRE : she had more vi vacity, but loss of that lady-like retenue which so well becomes the part. In the scene where she hears the confession of love, she pronounced "ilh c'est moi" in a tone of coquetish triumph, rather than of surprised and gratified affection, and the change certainly did not render the expression more effective. The piece of Maluina afforded her a better opportunity for the display of her powers, and in that character she acted with a force and truth of feeling that drew bursts of applause from the audience. Her interview with her cousin, her disclosure of her love for another, and the noble confiding and modest frankness with which she appealed to his assistance, were all most ad mirably represented. From the specimen of last night, we should certainly say that her forte is in the pathetic. She was well supported in La MarraMe by LAPORTE, and in Malvina, by PAULIN. H. ALFRED, we are happy to say, exhibits considerable improvement in his acting, having lost much of that cold, self-sufficiency which at first disfigured his performance. At the close of the evening the audience demanded Mademoiselle FAr, and she was led on the stage by H. LAPORTE to receive the warm expressions of their applause. The house was well attended. ---- ----- THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A Mexican Mail has arrived, sailed on the 15th of March ; but we had later dates yesterday, cia Liverpool, to the 23d of March, consequently there cannot be any thing important from that quarter by the above arrival. Vera Cruz Papers, to the 15th of March, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, which are destitute of any news of importance. They mention that, since the ex.e, cution of Guerrero, the people are submitting tq the existing Government, and bring in their aims. All Was tranquil. Bombay Papers have also been received at the above Coffee house, to the 26th of December. They state that intelligence has been received from China, of the 28th of October, stating that the Vievroy of Canton had again objected to the resort of ladies to that place, and that the Select Committee were about to have recourse to arms, having ordered up the long boats of all the Company's ships, with a complement of 50 men in each, be ing detennined to carry this point. CIVIL FINANCE COMMITTEE. We have much satisfaction in announcing that the Civil Fi nance Committee has received instructions from Government to close its proceedings, and to dissolve itself on the Ist of January. THE FU We und erstand that expresses hav N e DS. arrived from Paris, in con sequence of which no business in the funds is as yet doing; the s peculators are w a t c hi ng th e k n o w in g ones w h o h ave rece i ve d the expresses, to ascertain the prices of the French funds : up to the present time the contents have not transpired.

His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morning with short causes, none o f w hi c h , up to t h e period of our Reporter's leaving, possessed an atom of public interest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Lord TENTERDEN did not take his seat in Court this morn ing until half-past eleven o'clock, when atter hearing a few mo tions of no public interest, his Lordship gave judgment in th e case of THE KING r. CARLILE. This defendant, it will be recollected, was convicted at the January Old Bailey Sessions of a libel, and sentenced by the Recorder to two years' imprisonment, and a fine of 200/. Against this sentence Mr. Carlile brought a writ of error, which on Tuesday last came on for argument. The defendant was heard in person in support of the writ of error, the particulars of which were given in. The SIM. All the errors in law as- signed by the defendant were over-ruled by the Court at the time. Mr. Carlile then argued two assignments of error in fact, the first of which was i —that as,the Commission for hold ing _the Session of Oyer, and, Terminer J:it_the Old Bailey vas directed to the c oed Mayor afid'othol - Justices 'therein named, authorising any two cieraoite.9o. them:to try)fsWemeanoeirs and felonies, it was necessary that when any business was-proceed ing, that two Commissioners at l eas t should be presentiri fonx t, but when the verdiet Was - Orifaiadrited • there":4o.utr H 414041 the Bench except the Recorder, consequently the proceeding was illegal, and judgment could not b e passed. The second error in . fact was,—that the verdict was not immedi ately entered on the record, as it ought-, to have been done, if the proceedings had been regular. The second error in fact was overruled by the Court, but it took time to consider the first assignment, viz—whether or not it was neces sary to have two Commissioners on the Bench at the time the verdict was given. His Lordship, after citing a great number of authors on the subject, said the Court were bound by the deci sions and precedents laid down by their predecessors, and their interpretation of the law was, that the mere receiving of a ver dict was not such a judicial act as required the presence of two Commissioners. If error had been assigned that the trial tool, place when only one Commissioner was present it would have matetially altered the case ; but as it only related to the receiving of the verdict, the Court were unanimously of opinion that the judgment of the Court below must be affirmed.—Judgment af firmed. Mr. Carlile then left the Court in custody of the goverror Compter. No other case occurred during the morning. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER RACES.

Beaux, APRIL 29.—A Petersburgh journal says that tranquillity has not been for a moment interrupted at Wilna ; that the resident nobility have not only taken no part in the insurrection, hut have expressed their indig nation at it, and scrupulously observe the renewed oath which they lately took to the Emperor. It is hoped that the insurrection, commenced by all kinds of persons of bad characters, and which has been accompanied with various excesses, will be speedily put down. The celebrated Russian, Admiral Siniawin, died lately at Petersburgh. The ice on the Neva broke up on the 16th, and the Isaac's bridge was replaced on the 18th. The accounts from Warsaw are to the 25th. In the sitting of the Diet on the 21st, the Minister for Foreign Affairs said that the Government had exerted itself to en sure the freedom and independence of Poland, and to get back the old Polish provinces now under the Russian Go vernment. :The Warsaw Papers give no details of the battle be tween Generals Kreutz and Witt and the Polish General Sierawski. They say that after the battle the Russians approach e d the Vistula, but add that only a small portion of the Russian troops remained near the river, and that the main body has retreated towards Lublin and Lewartow. With respect to the main farce of the Poles, no details are given, not even where the head-quarters were last. They however give an order of the day of the Commander in -Chief, which is not unimportant. A statement is given of the military operations and their success. The General exhorts the troops to behave with courage and firmness, adding, that what has already been done is only a begin ing. The Russians, he says, have a power which has been confirmed by ages, and a speedy termination is not to be expected. Great firmness is therefore necessary, especially if the military operations should reader is ne cessary for the Polish troops to make retrograde movetnents„ The Papers speak also of some skirmishes between the Russians and General Uminsky, who is said to have gained some advantages, but the accounts are so vague and con fused that it is difficult to discover the real state of affair from them. There are ear inns accounts, but nothing official respecting General Dwernicki, who seems to have gained some advantages over General Rudiger. Authentic accounts from Warsaw say, that the newly formed fifth Polish Regiment of Hulans has had an en gagement in which it suffered much ; it is also said that the cholera has appeared in the Polish army. The lVarsaw Gazette says, " Since Count Diebitsch reviewed his troops on the 21st, the last prisoners that have arrived here say that a great battle was daily expected. Other accounts, however, say the Field-Marshal was re tiring." The Kouigsburg Gazette of the 23d of April says, that by accounts from the Polish frontier, A division of the Russian guards had arrived some days before at Przansnye, between Molowa and Pultusk. Ihe Konigsberg Gazette has the following article:-... " TILSIT:Antic 22.—We hear from the province of Augustow, that the insurgent chiefs, Poselaer and Johon, with their bands, have been whely defeated. General Von Fiecken drove a division of 6,000 men before him, which retreated towards Katv-n ; 4,000 of them succeeded in escaping into the woods, the others were surrounded, having on one side the river Memel, and on the other the Russian cannon, which soon destroyed them with grape shot. It is thought that not 100 were left alive." THE HAGUE, MAY 3 —We understand that his Itla. jesty has approved of the modifications ac.d changes in the statutes of the Commercial Secety. M.

The above distinguished individual and friends were sailing in a small yacht in Stoke's Bay on their way to Southampton on Thursday afternoon, about three o'clock, when a tre mendous shower of had, accompanied with wind, ligl,tn.ng, and thunder, overtook the boat, and the lightning, it is supposed, struck the ill-fated par ty, for the boat immediately ups.q, and all four were shortly afterwards found dead.and flowing on the surface o f th e wa t er .

She has, by a majority of 200, returned two Vlembers to Parliament, who say there ought to be m such Reform as that which -the nation, cells for. The cause of political Reform, •herefore, los es •wo votes in Parliament ; but we are much rrt•tekett f the cause of ecclesiastical Reform out of doors Ines not gain more than a dozer, millions of voters. ('his return of Anti-deform Members for Cam bridge, in the present condition of the public mind of England, does appear to us, we confess, the mo t (luring defiance of a unanimous nation that ever eels attempted by any body of men. However, th y cannot say it is our fault,—we have done our best to save them. In, the mean time we are, as usual for some days past, in arrear with the triumphs of Reform. The town of Monmouth has accomplished (eir yesterday's prediction, and ousted the Marquis of Worcester returning a staunch Reform Member it Mr. Benjamin Hall. In Surrey the friends of Re• norm have succeeded without trouble. Messrs. Denison and Briscoe have been returned. In Essex Colonel Tyreil is already defeated ; Nlessrs. Western and Long Wellesley being about 3to 2 a-head of him. Mr. Hoy, the berongh monger candidate for Southampton, is 170 :below the second of the reformers, and 179 below the first. Here, as in everyinstance where a good organization of die reformist force exists, common cause is made between the popular candidates. In Hampshire %Ir. Fleming has given up the ghost. That county, the Duke of Wellington's county, is in all quar ers manifesting pretty freely the difference of its poli• deal opinions from those expressed by his Crac.e— Huntiegdonshire has taken, rather tardily, a step towards providing herself with one Reform Msneter, And Mr. ,Rooper, of whom veie Spoke sari Wednesday, buteArea few hours_ polled an hundred votes more tleitneftVi,geount Mandeville. Had the reformers been fictive, and .awure of .their strength, they would have named a colleague to Mr. Rnotter, and could easily have sca•ed, instead of the noble Viscount, a 'ilecond advocate ~for Reform. Nor has the independent spirit of the freeholdtrs -con fined itself to English counties; the Welshinea's; blood is up, and they have resolved that their ancient masters shall no longer trample on them as ith impunity. The two Wyntis are about to be opposed on Reform principles. In Derilighshire, spirited address to the fret hollers has been circulated, de nouncing the Toryism of old Sir Watkin s exhorting the freeholders to come . fore ard in aid of the King and his liberal Ministers, and giving notice that Mr. Madocks, of Glanywern, was to be put in nomination at Wrexham yesterday, in opposition to the mighty Baronet. This intelligence it is highly desirable should be known to all non-; - esideet freeholders of the county of Denbigh. Sir Watkin Wynn is a fair specimen of the kind of mat, whom a Tery Miniseer delights to have in Parliament, and whom a roused and instructed people deem as we less to all the best purposes of a legislator. Ti e downfall of the ()liga \ 7 y r ‘ oi:y ust f l a te c • ti tyty o l o na i s oli till be a terrible ) v o,ve,,t.Th lo The of o b ii w_ f to the oxof Powie-castle must henceforth leekabout hint. Taun ton has re-elected unanimously its foam sr literal Members ; and Mr. I3ainbridge, e hose address of thanks, lies before us, pledges himself to support the " King, in his wishes to reform the reere,entatite system of the empire." Certain despairine ga . zette-writers of the boroughmongers pretend to frighten their readers by prophecies of the ruin which is to overtake one great interest of the empire after another, in consequence of the passing of the Bill. Ireland is to be lost—then the English agricediurists—then the Church—last the funds. What next, worthy friend? Why, peradventure, the millenium will follow. We have received a brief advice from Northampton, that a certain cler gyman is thereabouts doing the work of an incen diary against the King's Government and the mea sure of Reform. Once more, let the established clergy beware. The people of England, we repeat to some mercenary meddlers, will not endure to have the great interests of the country vexed and thwarted for the increase, nor even for the main tenance, of their selfish abuses.-7'imes. The proceedings at the Cambridge election are considered by the friends of the Church in the City—and the Church has many friends there—as calculated to do more injury to the cause of the Establishment than any thing which has occurred for a great number of years. The return of Messrs. Peel and Goulhurn will confirm the opinion, note too general, and we are afraid too well founded, that the Clergy have no sympathy with the people; that, as a body, they are friendly to the oligarchy, and bitter enemies to all Reform, whether political or ecclesiastical. The display, however, of this spirit at this particular moment is as senseless as it is un reeling. The clerical electors of Cambridae cannot by their opposition retard the accomplishment of Reform one single moment, and their votes against it are as harmlees as a hungry dog with a muzzle on his nose. He may erin, but he cannot bite. We believe that if the Clergy had divested them selves of that esprit de corps, that love of dictation and worldly domination, and shown a proper sym pathy with the feelings of the people, they would have found more advocates for the Church in a reformed Parliament, than ever they did in the unreformed one. But, as it is, this will most assuredly not be the case. Whatever may be the private opinions of Members of Parliament with regard to the propriety of supporting the Church Estalishment, the Clergy have rendered them selves so thoroughly unpopular that they will be afraid to avow them. Far be it from us, however, to insinuate that there are not good men in the Church —men as liberal in their opinions as they are generous and Christianhke in their feelings. We speak only of the majority, and that the majority should riot be liberal politicians is not wonderful, seeing who lies had the dispensation of Church pre ferment for the last fifty years. We are not, we must confess, amongst those who approve of the manner in which the present excellent Lord Chan cellor has disposed of his Church patronage. From the most amiable of motives, no doubt, he has, we know, in more than one instance preferred Clergy men holding high Tory politics, while scarcely a single Whig has been advanced in the Church. Then, again, his Lordship has place the small liv ings at the disposal of the Bishops, who will take care to appoint men after their own hearts, as re gards their political creed. Now, in our humble opinion, this is neither just nor politic. It is not just towards the conscientious Clergyman, who, in the face of his own interest, has been labouring in the cause of Reform, through all sorts of persecu tions and evil reports—it.is not just, we repeat, to pass over such a man, and promote another of a directly opposite description; yet we know that this has been done in more instances than one. With regard to the porecy of thus acting, we have no hesi tation in saying that if another course had been adopted the result of the Cambridge election would. have been very different. The fact is, the Tories imagine that the Govern's-em fear them. No time should be lost in proving to them that they are mistaken. Let the Tory employees he all dis charged, and let friends to the rights of the people be preferred both in Church and State.—Monting Herald. Having all esong had our misgivings on the sub led of tte Cambridge election, we were therefore let unprepared for the result—r; result which places :he majority of the members of that seat of learn- ing in no very enviable light as citizens of a vast and enlightened empire.
