Very of the ° att° him, Y different is t h e elf. ii, Aristocrat ; his duties case is eldest centre son inherits the :11 a straw 0 6i g in fliour 0 )t to decla" t tout Ref° rfi f l e —becguse i - ranted, it therefore whole patrimony, to the exclusion of his younger brethren, who, born of the same parents, bred at the same table, and in the same luxury, are left to be provided for at the public cost ; and so rank has the system grown, that the borough mongers not only consider their younger sons have as good a title to such provisions, as the elder to the family estates, but that they (the boroughmongers) have a like right by the same means to provide for all their hangers on and dependents. These are the reasons that every branch of the public service is so loaded with expense,— of the heavy pressure of what is characteristically termed the " Dead Weight,"—that our naval and military services are both encumbered with lists of officers sufficient to command the combined armies and navies of all Europe,--that young men born of, or patronised by, the Aristocracy are Lieutenant-Colonels or Post-Captains at five-and-twenty, without having been present when a shot was fired, while men, who have seen five-and-twenty years of active service, and shared in all the hard-earned glories of our arms, still remain Lieutenants ! It is not, however, sufficient that the State is made to stand in loco parentis, it must also provide for the mo thers of the Aristocracy. The Duke of NEW-. CASTLE, who loudly claims the right to do what he likes with his own (which, in a proper sense, no man would dispute), whose connexions and dependents share little less than twenty thousand per annum of the public money, left his mother a pensioner on the State, till her patrician and patriotic feeling renounced the de gradation, and earned the Noble Lady a more proud distinction than the ducal coronet ! The venerable Countess of MORNINGTON, the mother of five sons, four of whom are Peers, who have all for years enjoyed a more than ordinary share, and still divide amongst them little less than sixty thousand per annum of the public money, is also in the fulness of years left to figure in the Pension List!! But the mothers of our Aristocracy arc not the only ladies who figure there,—and while the necessities of men, who cannot by their la bour earn a subsistence, drive them to crimes they expiate on the scaffold, striplings, scarcely of age, backed by the same fell influence, arc endowed with pensions that would support fifteen families, or form no mean reward for a life ho nestly spent in the service of the country. While the Pension List exists, let it never be said that public expenditure cannot be reduced ; but it will be said, not only by those who share the plunder, but by all who by its means relieve themselves from the discharge of the most sacred duties, and all who by the same means seek to do so. This wretched and disgraceful system is, however, rapidly approaching to a close, the KING'S Government and people are alike op pressed by it ; the latter cannot, will not, con tinue to bear this burden, and the former must be relieved from sitting like a Select Vestry to create and dole out places and pensions, among State paupers, at the bidding of the borough mongers. The question lies between the KING'S Go vernment and people, and the borough►nongers, and where is the recreant who dares doubt the issue We have no wish to keep up a war of corres pondence by inserting letters in this Paper in answer to observations or letters which have ap peared in other Journals ; but as we have taken up the question of the reduction of the duty on Barilla, in answer to the Morning Post—and as our contemporary has refused to give fair play to the discussion of a question of such vital im portance—merely because the reply was not only in contradiction to its own statements, but un answerable in fact as well as argument—we rea dily give the letter insertion, as a matter of jus tice, and as one affecting the commercial inte rests of the country. We have already stated our own views on the subject, and are glad to find them corroborated by a gentleman, who not only understands the question, but places its merits in their true light. It is the Black AA gentry whose interests are in jeopardy in this business—not the Kelp manufacturers, who well know that the argu ments of their opponents are as spurious as their commodity. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A mail has arrived from Rio Janeiro, which sailed on the 25th of November, and one from Vera Cruz, which sailed on the 11th December, but we have not heard as yet that they bring any important political intelligence. The American packet ship Ontario, Captain Seber, which was reported to have been lost, having the elephant on board, has safely arrived off Sandy Hook. This day being a close holiday, the Bank, Stock Ex change, and Foreign markets are shut at present, but a few persons have assembled on 'Change, and some brokers and jobbers have met at the housekeeper's room of the Stock Exchange, but there is little or no business doing as yet, and Console may be quoted as yesterday, at Sli The French mail has not arrived, and no news up to the present hour. HALF-PAST 014 E O'CLOCK The following has been posted at the North and South American Coffee-house : Rio JANEIRO.-On the 29th uh. the Exchange on England went down, in a panic, to 20 at 90 days' sight, but confidence having been restored, by the final settlement of the Budget, it rallied again to-day to 21;4, with 60 and 90 days' sight, but little business was transacted. Another Bill passed to.alay in the Lower House of our Legislature, authorizing the pale of the silver and gold remaining in the Bank for the redemption of Bank-notes. If this Bill be sanctioned it is natural to expect that it will have a favourable influence on the Exchange, though a similar measure, 20 months ago, produced altogether a contrary effect. Extract of a commercial letter from Rio Janeiro of the 25th November:—" The resolution of the Chamber of Deputies that all the gold and sil ver i n t h e b ank should be sold off at the market price, and the paper drawn from circulation to the amount of 300,0001., and deposited in the sealed cheat of the Upper House, is at last con firmed by the Emperor, and we are persuad e d t h at our ex change will continue to rise, having already risen to 211. British manufactured goods have been exceedingly small of late, and our stocks are still very heavy with limited de mand." The private letters from Mexico are favourable, and all was tranquil there. At present there are some few brokers and jobbers on 'Change, but nothing doing. Consuls may be quoted the whole of the morning at 81 *. The Foreign Stocks are void of interest. There are reports in circulation that their MAJESTIES Will visit Bath, Bristol, Cheltenham, &e. this year. —Brighton Journal. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—(mrs DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

DUBLIN, JAN. 22.—A vessel, supposed to he the Lovely Sylvia, of Yarmouth, was totally wrecked near Balbuggan yesterday, and it is feared the crew were drowned ; some barley, cats, and herrings, were driven on shore. The Prosperous, Potter, from Exeter to London, was on shore near the Isle of Sheppy Point on Sunday, but ex pected to he got off. The Isabella, Wildgoose, from Demerara ; the Spencer and Nymph, off Margate, each slipped from anchor and cab le. The Chance, Mowatt, from London, of Sheerness, for Goole, lost anchor and cable, and had windlass upset ; and the Perseverance, Caster, from ditto, for Leith, lost anchor and cable. The Concordia, Falk, from St. Übe's to Bregen, was wrecked on the Goodwi❑ Sand yesterday morning ; crew saved. The Quixote, Baillachet, from San Lucar to Liverpool, was abandoned at sea last month, being a complete wreck, the mate and a :.eaman being the only survivors of the crew. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. PAGE V. BROOM. The LORD CHANCELLOR disposed of the thirteenth ex ception, on the result of which depended the fifteenth. An objection was taken in the draft to the Master's report, on the ground that he had not allowed the charges of the mortgages, and upon which the thirteenth exception was taken. It however went to the entire report, both in substance and form. The Court, after all the con sideration it could give to it, was of opinion it ought to be over-ruled. Mr. Rosser (Messrs. Broom's solicitor) had yesterday banded to the Court two receipts, which, if they had been before the Master, would have formed im portant ingredients in the case. Mr. R. stated, at the same time, that he could not say whether they had been before the Master or not. No Master's mark was on t'oem showing they had bee❑ before him, but still his mark was not always put to the papers that were before him.— The Master had himself, however, since informed the Court that no paper of any consequence whatever was ever taken in before and received by him that was not marked either by him or his clerk, and he was confident that the receipts in question had not been before him. The result was, that the Court overruled the whole of the fifteen exceptions except the twelfth and pat t of the fourteenth, the matter in which was referred back to the Master for him to revise.

Sta,---A correspond,nt in your Paper of the 4th inst., subscribing himself " A Constant Reader," seems to have been thrown into a state of unnecessary alarm by the late reduction of the duty on barilla. Your correspondent must be rather in the dark, otherwise he must have known, first, that the reduction has been long contemplated, and a positive pledge to that effect given by the late Ad ministration ; and, secondly, that the reduction of the barilla duty cannot directly affect the price of kelp.__ Indirectly it may, but in a very favourable manner. Your correspondent cannot, I think, be ignorant, that the ar ticle which enters into the market in competition with kelp, is not foreign barilla, but British barilla, or black ash,—an article which has keen called into existence by the impolitic repeal of the salt duty, and now, though of very inferior quality, occupies the market to a consi derable extent, not only to the prejudice of kelp, but to the injury of the manufacture in which it it: used. It is this article, and not kelp, which is placed in jeopardy by the ,repeal, though this is not the first occa• sion on which the kelp interest has been used as a stalking horse by the black ash gentry. If the reduction of duty have (as I have no doubt it will have) the effect of driving the black trash out of the market, it will operate most beneficially both for the public and t h e kelp-growers, who wish for nothing more than a free trade without combination, and a repeal of the burdens which press most heavily upon themlar.,i on the public, viz., duty upon s?p, the window -tax, and more especially the duty upon window-glass, which is doubly mischievous, as it doubles the price of the article to the public, and creates a monopoly in the trade. . - I hope this view of the subject will appease the fears of your correspondent and his 6,000 inhabitants of the Isle o f Skye. If it does not, I would direct his attention to the concluding paragraph of his own letter, in which he predicts that the effect of the reduction will he to make barills (and if so, of course kelp alto) stand higher in the market than it did before. This proves that your corre spondent, whatever he may be as a prophet, is but an in different reasoner.

In the weaving districts around Glasgow work is uncommonly plentiful. Light work, which always used to be best paid, is now lower paid in comparison than any other description of plain work, notwithstanding the late advance of half a set in this branch. Owing to the low rates for light work, a number of districts that were formeily employed in this description of goods have turned to the heavy fabrics, and are succeeding better. In B , idgeton, which contains between 2000 and 3000 weavers, there is scarcely a light web going. The Pollockshaws lawn weavers have also changed to the heavy fabrics. In the eastern districts, including Camlachie, Parkleid, Esstmuir, Tolleross, Baillieston Toll, &c., comprising between 3000 a n d 4 000 lawn weavers, a num b er h ave directed their a tt ent i on to the heavy and coloured wor k , and more are anxiously endeavouring to procure the same kind of work. The wages of the weavers run from 6s. to 9s. a week.-- Caledonian Mercury. REFORM. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL GREY, AND OTHER HONOURABLE MEMBERS OF HIS MAJESTY'S GOVERNMENT, IN PRIVY COUNCIL ASSEMBLED. THE HUMBLE MEMORI A I, OF THE UNDERSIGNED FREEMEN AND INHABITANTS OF DOVER, IN KENT, Most respectfully Sheweth,—Th,t in ccr , .sequence of the present Administration being appointed by his Ma jesty to advocate Reform on the basis of " public opinion," your Memorialists intended to petition both Houses of Parliament for an extension of the elective franchise to all householders throughout the " United Kingdom," and (to secure purity of election) that they in future should vote by ballot. Perceiving in the public newspapers that the Right Honourable the Earl Grey had recently submitted some measure of Reform to the King, your MemoriaAsts humbly conceive they should not be doing their duty ut this eventful period did they not (in common with others) give his Majesty's Government proper confidence, by thus timely adding their testimony also, to spew that any I,iea sure or representation which has not those objects in view will by no means meet the approbation of your Mem3ria lists, nor (in their humble opinions) be permanently useful to the nation at large. That having no other object in view than the good of their country to prevent unnecessary agitation, and to re store harmony, your Memorialists are fully aware that all corrupt abuses cannot immediately be remedied, or even properly considered to the best advantage. Satisfied, how ever, that unless his Majesty's Government openly specify the most important the moment Parliament assembles, and declare their intentions to move for full inquiry into each in progression, without delay, Englishm e n will by no means feel at ease, the Legislature will soon be over whelmed with petitions for redress of grievances, and as in the cases of the " Corporation Test Acts," or " Catho lic Relief Bill" (now happily set at rest), valuable time will be frittered away on the question which otherwise might be bestowed on minor business equally required by all classes throughout the British Empire. That to prevent his Majesty's Government being em barrassed by the votes of those who possess undue borough influence, regardless of the national welfare, such is the reason for now transmitting this small proportion of public opinion; and while disclaiming any want of confidence in the ability of those whose duty it nos' is to restore the British Constitution to its original purity, and guide the State through the nominal difficulty which (in this re spect) Statesmen are temporarily surrounded. . . . - In the full hope that all householders (who regularly contribute rates and taxes without default) may soon have legal authority to vote by ballot, to secure the continual return of able representatives to serve the nation in the Commons House of Parliament, Your Memorialists, As in duty bound, will ever pray. Dover, Jan. 21, 1831. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. DEvONrORT, JAN. 22.—His Majesty's ship Primrose , 18, Commander W. Broughton, arrived yesterday from the Coast of Africa, last from Sierra Leone, which she left on the 7th December, bringing eight invalids from the squadron, among whom are the Rev. Mr. Beebee, Chap lain of the Dryad, Mr. Anderson, Clerk of the Plumper, and eight sick soldiers from the African corps. The Plumper was very sickly, having lost 'twenty-two men, the Assistant-Surgeon, Mr. Stuart, and Clerk, Mr. Hop kins. Mr. Filmore, Acting Master, was not expected to survive, and she had thirty-eight men in the Hospital at Sierra Leone ; but the other ships were healthy, and the season on the whole had proved favourable, the only Europeans who had died on shore being Lieutenant Forsyth, of the Royal African Corps, and Mrs. Salter, wife of the Agent Victualler. From the activity of the squadron the s'ave trade had received a check. On the southern coast of the Bay of Lovengo the Spaniards, Portuguese, and Brazilians had given up slaving, and de stroyed their forts and establishments. The Primrose visited that quarter in August last, and saw the bleached hones of nearly 100 slaves, whom the King of Leango had brought to the coast, but finding no ships there, had butchered them in cold blood, because, as he said, he could not afford to feed them! The boats of the Conflict, 10, Lieut. Smithers, had captured a slaver off Tongu, after a gallant action, the Primrose being in sight at the time. The Medina, 20, Commander Webb, has also captured a slave brig called the Fajorito, a Spaniard, which had been sent into Sierra Leone, and the slaves condemned, but the vessel was allowed to depart. His Majesty's ship Dryad, 42, Captain John Hayes, Confl:ct, 12, Lieutenant George Smithers, and Plumper, 12, L;eutenant Adam•, were at Sierra Leone when the Primrose left. The Sea Flower, Lieutenant Huntley, was cruising off the Gallinas; and his Majesty's ship Athol, 28, Capt. A. Gordon, off the Tongue. The Black Joke, Lieutenant Ramsay, and Medina, Commander Webb, were in the Bight of Benin. The Primrose has been absent about three years and four months. On the 7th of September she captured, after a sharp action of twelve minutes, the celebrated slave-ship Velos Passagera, with 555 slaves on board. The Velos had five feet greater beam than the Athol, 28, and is the largest slaver ever taken. Her fighting force was more than doulale that of the Primrose. The particulars of this gallant affair have already been published. The Primrose has brought home twenty-eight of her crew and her mate to he tried for piracy. The Primrose fell in with his Majesty's ship Galatea, 42, Captain Napier, on the 23d ult. in lat. 18. 3. N. and 29. 6. W., and on the 27th the Elizabeth of Bristol. Mr. Williamson, Purser of the Medina, came home in the Primrose. We hear that Capt. John Clavell (1808) will succeed Capt. Pilford in the command of the Ordinary at this port, on the expiration of the latter's term of service in April next. NAVAL SAVINGS BANK.—At a general meeting of the Royal Naval Annuitant Society, held at their rooms on Wednesday last, it was resolved to establish a Savings Bank, in connexion with the Institution, and available to its members and their nominees, but entirely separate with regard to its responsibility. Capt. George Pierce, R.N. has been elected Secretary and Mr. J. Collins, Purser, R.N. Actuary. UNITED SERVICE Crud.—A new Club, called the Focus or Beef Steak Club, has just been established in this town. Several magistrates and other distinguished public characters have enrolled themselves as members. All naval; military, and civil officers of a certain rank are eligible, but every new member must lie ballotted for, and one black ball is sufficient to exclude him. The Club is to meet once a week, at Weakley's lintel. The standard dish to he beef-steaks, No French wines to he allowed.— Devonport Telegraph. It is said that Lord BROUGHAM received upwards of fifteen hundred letters of congratulation within the ten days immediately succeeding his elevation to the Seals. The Countess of GREY'S party on Saturday evening, at Earl GREY'S house, in Downing•street, was the most brilliant of the season. The Duke of SUSSEX, the Duke of CUMBERLAND, the Prince of ORANGE, Prince TALLRYRAND, all the Foreign Ministers, and nearly every person of rank at present in London, were there. The carriages occupied the whcle of the wide space from the corner of Parliament-street to Whitehall, and the company had not all taken their departure until be tween one and two o'clock on Sunday morning. It is reported in the City that Lord GREY is ill. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Last night the drama of William Tell was pet formed at this theatre, for the first time these three years. Mr. Macax.Anr, of course, appeared as Tell, one of his oldest and most fa vourite parts, and one in which his success is altogether unequivocal. ADELPIII THEATRE.-.A new romantic drama, entitled The King of the Alp and the Minos thrope, was last night produced, with distinguished suc cess. It is partly founded on a piece (Der Alpenhonly), written by FERDINAND RAIMUND, which, when per formed at Vienna, creited a great sensation amongst the admirers of this species of entertainment, and is, we be lieve, adapted to the English stage by Air. BIICE,TONE. The story, though one in which supernatural agency is unsparingly employed, is extremely simple in its struc ture. The dialogue is not remarkable fin. either point or elegance. Its great merit lies in constant bustle and va riety of situation. The overture and part of the original music, by VON MULLER, have been retained, and several compositions have been supplied by Mr. G. H. RODWELL. The scenery is good, and the mechanical changes ingenious. Mr. CLARK, the late worthy Chamberlain of the City of London, died at the house at Chertsey in which GawLEr the poet " breathed his lsst," commonly designated the Porch-house. Many years ago Mr. CLARK placed an inscription in the front of this unpretending re sidence, which records the fact of COWLEY'S death. Few persons could relate more anecdotes connected with illustrious persons, particularly the early poets, than the late Chamberlain. He related many curious anecdotes of COWLEY. Mr• SHILLIBEER, the lay imptopriator of Wilton, Somerset, has claimed the tithe of the tread-mill in that town, SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Manifesto of the Polish nation, which wiii be found in another part of our paper, is perhaps the most important exposure of national grievances which has been given to the world since the cele brated declaration of independence by the United States of North America. The wrongs of the Poles are infinitely greater than those of our for merly Americo) colonists : their resolution to cc dress them seems to be taken with equal courage. Let us hope that it will be followed with the same heroic perseverance, and terminate in the same glo rious result. Whatever may be the future fate of this oppressed and gallant people, they at least must have the sympathy of the world, as they have the laws of eternal justice in their favour. They have not revolted from a capricious love of change, — they have not been stirred up to assert their inde pendence by mere pride or passion,—they have net hazarded their tranquillity and that of Europe for any object of sordid ambition or commercial gain. No; they have been roused by the infliction of insufferable indignities,--they have " forged their chains into arms " against their masters, because they could no longer endure them RS chains,—then have risen to assert their rights because they had all been violated,—they have declared their indepen dence, because their late degrading vassalage—the result of perfidy and violence—was an insult to their race, and a dishonour to human nature. The history of cruel oppression and violated engagements,which the Poles have here detailed, must be the more striking to Europe, because, though correct in all circumstances, it is in a great measure new. This unhappy people have hitherto been deprived even of the sad privilege of complaint. Though the li berty of the press was promised in the charter given by the Emperor Alexander, it was never esta blished, and no organ existed for expressing their national grievances. Far removed from the active and stirring scenes of European civilization, the Poles had ceased to be objects of contemporary interest with politicians or political writers, and were only remembered as they appeared in his tory. None of the Powers which signed them over to Muscovite oppression ever thought of in quiring if the stipulations of the treaties which dis posed of their independence had been observed or violated. This document shows, that for the last fourteen years the annals of Polar:d have only been a history of such violations. The separate national existence which solemn engagements had guaran teed, was daily invaded or disregarded by a military barbarian, who endeavoured to break it down into a portion of an empire without rights, liberties, or pc pular institutions. The Polish army was insulted by degrading punishmetits, or harassed by a tortu ring discipline, inflaaed by an Imperial Comman der-in-Chief, who had no sympathy with its officers, nor regard for its honour. The trio4t respectable citizens were treated with as great a disregard of the laws and constitution of their country a s their mi litary brethren. Individual liberty was daily vio lated, anti persons of all ranks were arrested, im prisoned, and punished without the sentence of a court—without the forms of justice, or the power of appealing to the laws. The system of espionage which was organized sad employed by the Grand Duke, was even more intolerable than his insulting and arbitrary punishments. The houses, homes, ar : r e d , e meetings,beset w with hf spies, who middle w ppe h r n an re d gisteredan cl d ass r e e s . ported every expression of dissatisfaction —every sign of disgust—which an anti-national and tyrannical Go vernment provoked, and who had too often the malig nant pleasure of seeing their reports followed by the arrest or degradation of their victims. If such was the state of the kingdom of Poland, or of the duchy of Warsaw, what was the condition of the other parts of Poland incorporated with Russia, which had likewise been promised free institutions, and an immediate union with the Polish kingdom The following extract of the manifesto will answer this question : " the picture of the disasters of our brethren may be supercilious, but truth forbids us to pass it over. The provincts formerly incorporated with Russia have not been reunittd to the kingdom. Our brethren have not been admitted to the enjoyment of the liberal institutions stipu lated by the Coupe's of Vienna ; on the contrary, the na tional recollections awakened in them, first by promises and encouragement, and then hy a long expectation, be came. crime against the State, and the King of Poland caused to be prosecuted, in the ancient province, of that State, such Pole. as bad dared to call themselves Poles. The youth of the schools were particularly the objects of persecution : young children were torn from their mo thers breast ; the issue of the first families were trans ported to Siberia, or were foreed to cuter into the rr.nks of a corrupt soldiery. In official documents and judicial examinations the Polish language was suppressed ; the Polish tribun ill and civil law were annihilated by ukases; abuses of administration reduced the landed proprietors to misery ; and, since the accession of Nicholas to the throne, the stare of things hail constantly been growing worse. Religious intolerance itself employed every means to con solid arci the united Greek ritual upon the ruins of the Ca tholic ritual." As we are sure that our readers will examine every word of this long document, we think it su perfluous to recapitulate further the grievances which it describes.. The most slavish apologist of absolute power cannot find a justification of op pression like this, brought about by violence and perfidy, and must hail the efforts of a brave people to shake it off. This people do not disguise from themselves the fearful odds with which they have to contend, and require the sublime resolution which they have expressed. They are soon to see their frontiers menaced or invaded with numerous armies of Russians, intoxicated with recent. successes, and actuated by national resentments. They are cut off from all assistance in men, if mot from supplies of arms, by the jealousy of the two partitioning Powers who shared with their Russian oppressors in the spoils of Polaud. They have nothing to rely upon at first but their own swords, their own courage, and the jdstice of their cause. They have hitherto conducted themselves with such a spirit of mode ration, and such a patriotic devotion,--they have displayed so much activity, such concert and enthu siasm, as promise the happiest results in resisting a first onset ; and if they but persevere, the humanity and justice of the civilized world will step in to prevent them from being exterminated by those barbarous massacres which disgraced Europe and modern times in former Polish invasions.--Tithes. It would now be silly to assert that the cause of Reform is merely " making progress" through this country. The country, from end to end, is already occupied and engrossed by that great qwestion, and the mind of the whole community is made up upon it, as if the people of England were but an indi vidual man. Bristol and Norwich must be added to the other important cities and towns which have declared their sentiments in favour of an immediate purification of that body, which is not constituted so as to represent with truth the opinions, the intelli gence, or feelings of the nation, and which there fore cannot be expected, as indeed it has not beers found, to consult their interests with the requisite integrity or wisdom. Entire confidence may , we apprehend, be reposed in the sincerity with which the present Ministers hays undertaken to realize the public anxiety for Reform. The grounds on which the former Government was overturned were such that no Ministry a p po i nted to succeed it, could have entertained the hope of standing for four and-twenty hours, except on the strength, and by virtue, of a solemn renunciation before King and country of th e unconst i tut i onal heresy of the-Duke of Wellington, who, in declaring that Parliament as already framed was all-perfect, had shocked the understanding of most Englishmen, no less than their love of freedom. '1 hat Ministers must, in admitting the necessity of the measure, have ant!et pared likewise the practical difficulties of carrying any extensive plan of Reform into execution, ib manifest from the language of Lord Gley, who avowed that their best reliance was o n the supportof the peopl e th e mselves. The proprietors of close boroughs under the existing trystori, er men of over powering influence in open ones, should unl ess acted upon by extraneous urgent and paramount nlo,
