'~^~7~j. `r Z'h:e LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 22, 1144, The first election blow has already been struck against the Tories. At a public meeting of the Electors of Devonport, held in the Town-hall on Saturday last, Mr. G. R, DAWSON addressed them at considerable length in explanation of his political principles ; but his speech having given general dis satisfaction, it was instantly resolved—" That this meeting, having heard the Right Honourable G. R. DAWSON declare his political senti ments, is of opinion, that the present Government of - which he is a Member, cannot, and ought not, to have the confidence of Reformers, and this meeting remem bering that the Right Hon. Gentleman has, throughout his political life, been an able and energetic opponent of those efforts which terminated in the great measure, securing to this borough its poli tical freedom, cannot support his present claim to re present those who, by his votes, he has in effect de clared unworthy to rank among the electors of Great Britain." We congratulate the electors of Devonport, on having been first in the field to set an cxampl of independence, which we doubt not will be veri gener ally followed up, wherever the sham Reformers are concerned. They deserve the grateful thanks of the community. We have read with much pleasure the speech de livered by Lord STANLEY on the occasion of his in auguration at Glasgow. It at once puts a stop to all the rumours which the Tories, for party purposes, have lately been so assiduously circulating, that his Lordship would give them his support. It is clear that between them and him a gulph is fixed, which neither can pass with safety. For what are his words? After paying a deserved compliment to the high-minded political integrity of Earl GREY, he expressly says, "I trust that into whatever hands the helm of the -State may come, no man will ever conceive that he can check the spirit of enquiry and investigation that must now go on. This will never do : the wishes of the people must not be put aside ; they must be met by a fair and determined spirit to do just what is right, and no more. The machine must move onwards for good or for evil, for it cannot be stopped.

He insists that the " machine must move onwards. " The faction in sists that it need do no such thing, for that political safety exists only in a political stand-still. Has Sir ROBERT PEEL no discrimination of character, or did he suppose that Lord STANLEY was one of those trimming, wily statesmen, who, for the pur pose of slipping into place, would recant all that they had ever said, forfeit all the pledges they had solemnly sworn to ? If he did, he has committed an egregious error in judgment; for we can imagine no two public men whose principles are more opposed to each other, than those of the heir of the House of Derby, and the Right Hon. Baronet. Let affairs take what course they will, still the STANLEY of to-day is pretty sure to be the STANLEY of to-morrow ; but we would by no means venture to say the same of Sir R. PEEL. It is easy to tell what he is not. But who shall tell what he is ? THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

With this mighty instrument in their hands they intend to achieVe such a victory over their opponents as shall astonish all " Europe, America, and the regions of the East" to boot. It is to be printed "in a cheap form, for universal circulation," and what it wants in intelligi bility is to be made up by multiplied quantity. It is to fall upon the people like the infinite flakes of Scotch snow-drift, soft—but overwhelming ; hot bruis ing, only burying them. Far is it from our wish to speak detractingly of the merits of that composition—the man who could pen so many lines about nothing, and adduce such lucid arguments in support of it, can be no ordinary person. With Sir ROBERT'S own frankness, we admit that it really is incomparable, so far as it goes ; it only wants meaning to make it perfect. We characterized Lord STORMONT'S speech as having been twenty years too late—the manifesto may be considered as being half a century too soon. The intellect of the country not yet ripe enough to understand it. Commentators upon it there are plenty, who, with great boldness, will explain its precise signification. This is very kind of them to supply the deficiency, but still common sense shakes her head doubtingly : she has tried hard. yet cannot comprehend it ; there is a great deal of it certainly, but the difficulty is—what it is all about. Can the people of England be cajoled by such all effusion as this ? or will they allow their better I:e i d er _ standing to be insulted by the gratuitous interr,eetation: 3 of designing men ? Let them read, mar: ; (they need not learn), and inwardly digest it for themselves ; let them well weigh every word in the reading (for every word has been well weighed in the writing of it), and ask themselves the question whetl;er, in any one of the declarations it contains, there can be found that manly, straightforward, and uncnnivocal avowal which admits of but one honest interpretation ? Let them strip it of the ifs and buts, and see what it all amounts to. I; it the address of a Reformer to a reformed nation, the plain yes-or-no profession which admits of no mistake, and no m;_sdoubt ? It is not—and so they will find it to be, It is at best but a masterpiece of splendid dis gui~-ie, which cannot cheat their good sense, unless they wilfully stifle its admonitions. We understand that Sir ROBERT'S ingenious nullity is to be made the text-book from which the Tories intend to preach their electioneering sermons, with a view to proselytize the Liberals ; the loyalty of the nation is to be addressed, and—in terms of Sir ROBERT'S closing sentence—they are to be asked whether they will not " so far maintain the preroga tive of the KING as to give to the Minister of his choice—not an implicit confidence—but a fair trial ?" Is not that Minister a Tory, and have the Tories not had a fair trial already ? Have not most of the wrongs and grievances which roused the people to a declara tion of their rights sprung up from Tory misrule, and will they pusillanimously trust to Tory repentance But suppose they could be really induced to believe that the new Government would yield to the people's desires, why should they be insulted by the request to maintain this recent exercise of the KING'S preroga tive, and give the Minister of his choice a fair trial ? Did the KING himself give the Minister of his choice—Lord MELBOURNE—a fair trial ? The people supported the KING in that preroga tive—they acquiesced in it by a passive and un murmuring assent. They confidently expected from Lord MELBOURNE'S Administration reforms far more extensive than the gentle " modifications" f'd forth by the present, reforms, more consonant with their wants : they had no reason to doubt that such would have been effected. But his Lordship and his colleagues, for some reason yet unknown to the people, were most unceremoniously kicked from their seats, and the Monarch's prerogative became again exercised. Why, what a silly mummery is this ? What warranty have the people that, conceding this fair trier the KING may not see fit some two months hence to pre. vent it ? ROBERT PEEL th us nee d- By what right does di , le;dsly drag ti:Al KING'S name before the public, in associa,tion with a previous mischoice for the justifica tion of another probable mischoice ? That name, to be " a tower of strength," ought not to be flippantly bandied about, in support of every factious prank that may be played. Too much familiarity breeds contempt, saith the proverb ; yet really late events have made the KING'S name as common as my lady's lap-dog's ; this is most unseemly, and Sir ROBERT lacked his usual discretion in making it the peg whereon to hang his peroration. The people hav e as I much reason to doubt that the new Minister is in reality the KING'S choice as that . . the last was not ; it may need but another motor influ ence similar to that which prompted him five weeks back, to induce a fresh exercise of the Royal prero gative five weeks hence. The people know that the KING can do no wrong, but they may infer that the KING may be in such a dilemma of rights, that the selection were a sore puzzle. They ought therefore, in common loyalty and affection, to relieve his MA- ,lESTY from th e diffi cu l ty , an d t hi s t h e y can eas il y do by assuring hi m t h at a re f orm i ng peop l e , governed b y a reforming Monarch, cannot with any decency submit to the government of that party which it was one of the very/blessings expected of the Reform Bill to pre clude from power for ever—the Tories. By every means they can safely exert, the Tories, \ I , , THE StTN, LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1834. manifesto in hand, strategem in their heads, an d corruption in their hearts, will endeavour to de lude the people. They will appeal to their love and loyal) , towards the SOVEREIGN in support ing the Royal prerogative ; they will denounce the violators of our Holy Church ; they will expose the danger Of mob influence ; touch upon the .terrors of revolution ;- the pure intentions of the Tories in their efforts to save their country from anarchy and confu sion ; the property of the Tories and the respectability of the Tories (half the Tories, among the middle classes are so, because it looks genteel and something aristocratic, th 3 other half is composed of place or pension hunters), and their desire to neutralise Radi calism and its destructive propensities ; in short, every means that range between fright and wheedling will be employed to make the people emasculate their own energies. The torto:se won the race because the hare slept, We have the strength to beat the enemy ; shall we suffer defeat for want of vigilance ? Sir RoBEFT's address is a very pretty opium draught, but it must not b 3 swallowed. Mr. GISBORNE'S address to his constituents, the Electors of North Derbyshire, is characterized by a bold and manly spirit. He does not shrink from the duty incumbent on every honest man and good citizen, at the present moment of danger to the best interests of the country—the duty of expressing his sentiments in the fearless language of truth, however disagreeable that language may be to ears little accustomed to hear it. There is no mincing of phrases—no- mezdiness of mouth—no heating about the bush. He speaks out; and to the point. of our relations, cel'eign After taking a brief sur:: - cy and domestic ? in whien he points Out the g reatly Prove: And prosperous state of our affairs, when ifte intrigues of the Court party suddenly opened the fountains of strife, bitterness, and confusion, Mr. Gls- BORNE makes the following patinent and constitu tional remarks on the exercise of the prerogative : . " Now I atn told that all this is done in the exercise of the Royal prerogative, which I admit—and that we I ,, ntst question it, which I deny. It is an atsertion for nobody but a slave. Now this prerogative it either to be exercised under responsibility or not If it is irresponsible, then his Majesty may send for six men from the ranks of the first regi ment of Dragoons, and six from the forecastle of the flagship at Portsmouth, and make them his Cabinet Council ; and some people have even talked of his Majesty going to Luke's or the Hulks for his Ministers, Well—it is the pre rogative. We are not to question the appointment. We are to wait, I suppose, for the men.sures of the new Administration. I give the consequences of this argument to the Tories. J will maintain that the prerogative is only to be PXereittl un,er responsibility. and for the benefit of the wation. The only question, therefore, is, where doe, the responsibility rest ? and to that question I will apply myself. First then—it does not certainly mst on the King. It is a necessary principle of our Consti:swion that no responsibility can rest on the King, except in extra-constitutional cases, that is, cases in which the Constitution provides no remedy within itself l and that it pro'; ides abundant remedies in the case which we are discuss- I will shortly show yoi, Even if we were to suppose a case in which the King carried on all the acts of the Execu tive by his own 'lucre will, the Constitution would presumn vice, In order to create responsibility. In instenr,o,,t lit the present, when there is no apparent adviset', the party respon sible to the country is he who by his acts gives effect to the advice-. It is not - material for us to inquire, though it might be a subject of curiosity, and we may have our own opinions on it, whether the Duke of Wellington was an accessory be fore the fact ; it is enough for us to know that he is an acct.'s very after. But for the act of the Duke of Wellington the pestilent advice given to his Majesty to dismiss his reformin , i- Mic,isters, would have fallen effete and inoperative to th'e ground." Mr. GissortNE then supposes hi 3 MAJESTY to have asked advice of a counsellor, actuated by motives of genuine and enlightenod patriotism, before he pro ceedt:ti to a measure involving consequences. of such awful importance, and puts the. following answer in his mouth : " The advice given to your Majesty to dismiss your Minis ters, would, if unhappily followed, piece your Majesty before conetry in a very equivocal character. Your Majesty will recollect that when Lord Stanley, the Duke of Richmond, and others, seceded from the Government, your Majesty suffered the vacancies to be filled by men whose known principles were a pledge to the country of your Majesty's determination to for ward, with increased energy, the work of Reform. Again, when the resigrnition of Earl Grey, and of most, or all the Members of your Majesty's then Cabinet, placed the construc tion of a new Government naturally and necessarily in your Majesty's hands, your Majesty did not call to your Councils those who stood before the country as men of opposite princi ples to the then self-dissolved Administration, but ordered the Government to be re-constructed in such a manner that it should, in the eyes of the public, (lifer only from the preceding Government in bearing a still more reforming character, both in Church and State ; and this Government, so re-con structed, received, in an eminent degree, the support of the Representatives of the people. Your Majesty, therefore, in following the malignant advice which has been tendered to you, must either bear the imputation of having acted towards Lord Melbourne's Cabinet, ever since its construction, with a degree of duplicity almost unexampled among Princes, and I which would cover any man in private life with deserved contempt and odium : of having been a member of a back stairs plot against your own Government, and against the Parliament recently chosen : or your Majesty must ap pear to have acted in these matters, so interesting to the nation, with a looseness of principle, a trifling le vity, or a wanton indifference, which must destroy the affectionate confidence hitherto reposed in your Majesty by a loyal and grateful people. As a faithful subject and counsellor of your Majesty, no act of mine shall sanc tion and give effect to advice which must be followed by such destructive consequences.—Such advice, in substance, it would have become any man, I care not who he might be, to have tendered to his Sovereign on such an occasion. But did the Duke of Wellington so act ? Far from it. Whether a member of it before or not, he entered into the plot against his Majesty ; he adopted it ; he gave effect to it ; and became responsible for it. Hitherto we are only considering the Duke of 'Wellington's guilt towards his Majesty. We are only eon. sidering him as a conspirator against his Majesty's character and honour. But he has something to answer for also to the people. He has counselled and is responsible for the most arbitrary act, which, since the time of Queen Elizabeth, has been enacted by any British Monarch, who has not lost either his head or his Crown. I do not call the act tyrannical, because it is not tainted with cruelty. He has trifled with the (Lula aria repose and peaceful and contented industry of this VT-Miry— not wantonly, but for an object. And for what object ? n i and solely to bring a re j ecte d f act i on b ack to last and desperat e e ff ort to quarter 0" "- on the country. It is f or r•-•• • •-- o gory Aristocracy again z . else." • ra wer. It is v As instance of the base bare-faced effrontery with which the Tories of Bristol are endeavouring to bolster up the new Ministry, we give the following copy of a bill which wo are confidently assured has been extensively rerculated in that city, purporting to to be an extract from this Journal. The bill is headed " A list of the New Ministry;" and after giving the names of Sir It, Ptn, Lord LYNDHURST, the Duke of WELLINGTON, &c., concludes thus : " Looking back upon the names above quoted, we feel con fident that the announcement of them will win the approbation and confidence of the notion, in favour of the King's Ministers. Whether we view them with respect to rank, intelligence, official experience, political independence, fortune, probity, or talent, we are persuaded that under no other Minister than the eminent Statesman who now stands at the helm could such an assemblage of all these indispensable qualifications have been drawn together. When we add to this, that a Government so constituted, receives the active, though unofficial aid, of such men as Lord Stanley, Sir James Graham, the Duke of Richmond, and other Constitutional Reformers, we cannot conceive any Administration more likely to receive, or more sure to deserve the support of Parliament and the Public. A warm attachment to the institutions of the country, unmingled with any disinclination to purify those institutions ; to amend, to improve, and to correct them where faulty, but, above all, an unsuspicious, because disinterested, devotion to the public weal, are the principles upon which the present Administration is launched, and on which only, it relies for the countenance and support of the country, it has been called upon to govern.

Etv MINISTRY.—The public were literally astounded on reading in the evening papers of Monday the list of the new Cabinet. An Aditittistratleti Stt purely and ex clusively Tory, wag what they were by no means prepared to expect, and we are much mistaken if it is not also what they will steadily refuse to maintain. The Reform Act constitutes the htitiy the ultimate tqitt;sal of a Ministry, and we are of opinion that that which has just been chosen is not fated to be of long duration.— Manchester Guardian. Sir James Scarlett will take his seat with all due ceremony to-morrow as Chief Baron in the Court of Exche quer. Sir James is to be created a Peer by the title of Baron Arhinger, being the name of his estate near Dorking, Surrey. This month has been remarkable for changes in the Courts of Law, and it is not unlikely but the next month or February, will be nearly equally so, as the Duke of Wellington's Admi nistration rests, at present on a sandy foundation. We hear that no successor has been yet appointed to the Earl of Belfast, who has resigned his post of Vice- Chamberlain of the King's house. The Noble Earl was re quested by his Majesty to retain his keys of office for the pre sent. The new Lord Chamberlain has been created a G. C. H., and took possession of his new office on Saturday. Colonel Fox continued to transact business up to Saturday at the Ordnance Office, as Surveyor-General of that department, his successor not having been yet appointed. Mr. Bonham, the Secretary of the Conservative Election Com mittee in Carlton Gardens, is the new Storekeeper, vice the lion. Captain Duncan, R. N. • Mr. Kelly has received a silk gown. The Tories may guess at the fate which awaits them, even in the counties (thanks to the 50/. clause), their strong hold, from what has just occurred in the Northern Division of the County of Northumberland. The present members, are Lord Ilowick, son of Earl Grey, and Lord Ossulston, a kind of demi-Tory. Mr. Liddell, son of Lord Ravensworth, was dispatched from the Carlton Club, with his purse well filled from the subscription fund, with the promise of a place, if he succeeded in ousting the reforming candidate. After having canvassed the county, he has been compelled to retire from the field, having, as he himself states in his address, become con vinced that, by attempting a contest, he would not only fail, but run great risk of causing the defeat of the waverer, and seating two Reformers. And ) et this is a part of the country where the influence of a high Tory Duke is supposed to be predominant, and is almost wholly agricultural. A requisition to his Grace the Duke of Gordon, to preside at a meeting in Inverness in support of Church Esta blishments, was lately presented to his Grace ; but the Duke has delinei to take the Chair, in consequence of the interven tion of various circumstances.—lnverness Courier. It is very generally understood that the dissolution of Parliament has been postponed to the period now fixed, that the elections might not interfere with the festivities of the Christmas week, or with the business of the various Quarter Sessions throughout the kingdom. Sir James Scarlett will be sworn in as Chief Baron to-day, but he Will not take his scat until the first day of next Term. BOROUGH of DEVONPORT and STONEHOUSI4. A public meeting of the electors having been held at the Town Hall, in Devonport, this 20th day of Decem ber, 1834, in consequence of an announcement bearing the signature of John Smith, Esq., that the Right Honourabli - G. R. Dawson would have the honour to address the electors this day, to 'state his political principles, with a view to solicit their suffrages and support, J. Smith, Esq., having been called to the Chair— Mr. DMVSON addressed the electors, whereupon, a rose, lution having been proposed, Mr. Smith refused to tint the same to the meeting—left the Chair—and declared the meeting dissolved. The electors then called Tuomns WOOLLCOWIE, Esq., to the Chair, • And it was resolved—" That-this meeting, having heard. the Right Hon. G. R. Dawson - declare his political senti ments, is of opinion, that the' present Government of which he is a Member, canniit.',and ought not to have the confidence' of Reformers, and this meeting remembering that the Right Honourable Gentleman has, throughout his political life, been an able and energetic opponent of those efforts which termi nated in the great measure, securing to this borough its poli tical freedom, cannot support his present claim to represent those who, by his votes, he has in effect declared unworthy to rank among the electors of Great Britain. Resolved—That these resolution§ be published and circu lated in the Borough. " THOMAS WOOLLCOMBE, Chairman." _ The Chairman having left the Chair, the unanimous thanks of the meeting were given to him for his able and independent conduct therein. Devonport, Dec. 20, 1854. LOYALGRATITUDE. ~~=~ An OtiOpird " Once on a time," (as the story-books say), n Celled Sultan had a faithful - Minister, who laid before him various plans for making the subjects of his Master prosperous, loyal, and h4ppg,„ The ,Sultau approveil thetas. "My excellent 1 said he, "thy ideas are per,ectZy Cdfinhittni .o;ne— and should Alla deprive me of thee, no Minister shall stAfid before my throne who will not adopt all thy plans." The Vizier retired joyful, and said in his heart, " My power is established for ever--happy is he who serveth my wise and JUST Master I" The same day he was dismissed from office,. and his enemy installed in his place! The people were dis- MtAyed, and said, " Wherefore is this just Vizier displaced? Will his Stiedeggof lucid ail that lit bath dens ?" But the new Minister said, " Behold I in all things will I Walk in tbe raths of my predecesSor." And thereat the people. wondered, and said, " Truly the councils of our Monarch are inscrutable He is pleased with the measures of Mirza, whom he dis graceth, and Fablib meets favour in .his eyes, who hath all his life opposed those plans which he now illidertalteth to perfect 1" CARRYING OUT REFORM.

Esperance. DUBLIN. (rRoM oun. OWN ColittOrbflnt,NT,) If Sir Robert shall venture to discard the present Parlia ment, he must calculate on an astonishing change of opinion iu .England—for nothing short of a total conversion there can seedia soirtgt the titittilmoup voice of Scotland, and the determined unequivocal expression of great terror and great indignation which agitates all Ireland, from Carrickfergus to Cape Clear. The much - vaunted re-action is of a very diffe rent kind from that which the Tories dream of; for it is as itineh as the friends - of the people can do, by all their influence and reasoning, to confine it to objects which are legitimate and constitutional: The people are eager for a general election, that they 'nay shot* their power; and everywhere that tithes are demanded the ttgtetibrity of a Tory faction is execrated and spurned. In Weifoftl the freeholders of the Barony of Forth niet on Thursday last. Me. the Member for Wexford town, was in the chair. Ile addressed the aggettilvl94 multitude at cFnisidetable knob; and re.thinded them that the election was purely a tith e e lection. With itigpOnt td the threats of their landlords, he pointed .but the only safe ttiethod of laughing theto to scorn, namely, unanimity ; for as he truly nhaerved, lg if Only one.or,tid tenants-stand out, they will surely be made ViCtifitig hilt if thilie he a ettetel dete urination on the part of the people to do their duty, it would be Ittipm§ible to send a whole community adrift. The country was given by the Almighty to the people, and HE will not suffer their wholesale sentiments were received with loud and con tiniied Mr. Talbot, the Member for New 116§s t said that he was marked out as a victim to the atrocities of the titile system. A demand was made on him the other day for 1351. where he tionsidered only 51, as legally due It is needless to say that such topics made a trerneuduut Impression on the farmers who were present. The question among them is not what Tory candidate they shall oppose, but which of the liberal candi dates has best ditser - red tit& suffrages by his hatred of tithes, and his opposition to all who Mainatn and defend them. The same sentiment is universal all over the country, and everywhere it will produce the effect of driving away the Tory candidates from the hustings. There is not the least doubt that 11 , 1E1,00 WiLL send a MAJORITY Of FORTY-FIVE to Purlia vititt ctiminki Peel and MR Duke. The Mayor of Limerick has had the modesty to het hiq ottin opinions, against that of the two members for the city, and a nuns of cf merchants and professional ientlemen, who required him to call it public meeting: He saw no necessity for it, and therefore would not conitliy. If theo ignorant folk think they are serving their cause by such conduct, • bow miserably short sighted they must be. _ _ The clergy of the diocese of Drornore have addressed a parcel of fitlitiffieiv tri the Marquis of Downshire, thanking him for his attendance at the Orange gathering in Hills borough.

On the fourth morning he took his leave, as if for Edenderry ; but instead of turnirio. his horses' heads towards the county of Kildare, he drove into Dublin, and forthwith made his great apostate speech at the Winehelsea Orange Meeting, in Dawson-street. He afterwards pursued his journey, arri'ed that evening at Edenderry, and wrote by the same night'S pth.it td Lord Wellesley, to solicit a favour for some dependent of hig, .Tio doubt as honest and tindissembling as himself. What will John Bull think of such a change of heart as that ? Does ii not show a capacity for the Cabinet Which the Times' advises the world to wait upon, as an enlightened and reformed Council ? P. S. The plunder of newspaper property in the Dublin Post Office is quite unrestrained. Within the space of one month the Sun, printed on Friday, di re cted to me, has been three tin us purloined. I can only account for this periodical rogtilarity of the theft by supposing that the gentlemen clerks like to divert their leisure hours on a Sunday evening, with the latest intelligence from London. I wish the fellow who steals the Sun would acquire a taste for the Standard or some other paper. RARE SPORT IN IRELAND. The gentlemen of the Kilkenny Hunt proceeded in great force to draw the cover of Burntchurch lately for a fox. The atmosphere was mild and serene beyond the season of the year ; but a little foggy, so that objects at any considerable distance were not visible, and some things which were tolerably near at hand appeared in an exaggerated and distorted form through the mystific medium. But the rising sun looked pro pitious, the scent lay fresh and strong, and the members of the club were all in high blood for mischief. 'Their mountings and equipments were faultless. Cattle more sleek, or in more perfect training, have seldom graced this aristocratic sport, and the number of red coats afield exceeded all that had ever before assembled for a similar purpose. A sporting fox with a gray brush was known to be on the tramp ; for he had been seen prowling in the coppice ; and from the glare of his eye, 'twas discernible that he was in a varment humour, and re solved to die game : nor was there a doubt on any reasonable or experienced mind, that the long-spurred gentry, who were so eager for a burst, would follow him to the land's end with a whoop and a view holla, which would render for ever memo rable " the hunting- of that day." But alack—as the Scotch gauger singeth— " The best-laid schemes of men and mice Gang aft awry." One part of a good hunting apparatus, and that an essential requisite (in the opinion of old sportsmen) for a successful chace, was wanting. The huntsman indeed was there-- a veteran of the right sort. The whipper was there—a capital hand. The elite of the province were there, on thorough bred and never-tiring cattle. But the Pack—the Pack, Sirs, was " over the hills and far away." Upon my life and honour, it was very provoking, and almost incredible ; but so it was, that three-fourths of the indite were at the very moment running a buck, breast high, with Peirce Butler and a parcel of Radicals from Jenkinstown to Ballyragget. Only a few stragglers remained with the owners, and those so mangy and in such wretched condition, that they were not fit to lay on the train of a tom cat. Never was so splendid a preparation brought to a more impo tent conclusion. The set-out of this gorgeous cavalcade, which had cost so many an anxious hour and so many hundred pounds of good money, ended in the smoking of a few cigars and a dry witticism of the whipper (not a Mr. Holmes), who was among the last to turn his horse's head away from the cover. As he rode off, he said to the lingering herd of disap pointed earth-stoppers, who were clamouring for largesse,— " Don't blame us, my lads, if there is no run. We are willing to do our part, if we had but the dogs ; and I defy the Duke of Wellington himself to do more." The affair did, in fact, wear altogether a very ministerial appearance.

THE MUSIC BOOK OF BEAUTY; COntaining Q u adrilles• London : Simphin and Marshall, Stationer's-hall Court, and Smith and Co., Oxford-street. A more elegant collection of tender, sprightly, and joyous music—arranged in a better form—and with more beautiful embellishments of silk, morocco, and gold enamelling, has rarely come b e f ore us . The songs are selected from the poetical works of Edmund Smith ; and the music is by the Messrs. Barnett, Blewitt , Bishop, Cohan, Severn, Neukomm, and Miss Myers ; and is in • every respect, worthy of the talents of these eminent composers. The very sight of this book—independent of its elegaut,'fascinat ing contents—is enough to make young ladies fall in love with the science. The cost, too, is literally nothing—a guinea, for what would be cheap at twice the sum. Every young gentleman who wishes to distinguish himself by his taste—and every old one who would be thought an encourager of innocent en joiment .in his family, cannot provide themselves with a more elegant Christmas present for the young ladies than by procuring for them this volume. NORTHUMBERLAND ELECTION. ( F.om the Second Edition of the Newcastle Chronicle Of Saturday.) It gives us great pleasure to announce that Mr. Liddell ha retired fate the contest. In spite of the great interests by which he was supported, he has found the independent spirit' of the electors too strong for him. In his retiring address, the Hon. Gentleman says—" My chances of success do not justify a fuftliti pgrse.verance in my object, without pehaps endan gering the return of another candidate whose principles coiu ci:le with my own, who, both personally and politically, has trTry claim to my attachment, and in whose cause all my own friends att . , sopporters are cordially engaged"—thereby ac knowledging that Lord Howick would have stood at the head of the poll.

( From Woolmer's Exeter Gazette.) TO THE RIGHT REV. HENRY LORD BISHOP OF EXETER. f We, the Archdeacon and Clergy of the Archdeaconry 0! Exeter, consider ourselves called on, at the present juncture of public affairs, to assure your Lordship of our devoted adher' rence to the doctrine and polity of the Church, of which od we are Ministers, our dutiful atta•ihment to its rulers, and our readiness to co-operate with them in such measures as 1 08 ):, tend to secure its purity and stability both in England air Ireland. With regard to the temporal 'concerns of the Church I° are anxious to express our sincere desire, and we believe it to be equally the wish of your Lordship and the other Bishopt cordially to co-operate with his Majesty's Government in su c h ‘ _,. v measures for the settlement of the tithe question as shall 0 found safe and equitable. Whilst we would steadily resist that reckless spirit of change which would occupy itself in all departments of ouir Ecclesiastical Establishment, on the mere chance of pos sib advantage, we are anxious for the adoption of measures of r f a , improvement ; especially we presume to recal the atte ntl ! of the Bishops and the Legislature at large to the deficienc o i:i the existing laws for the enforcement of Clerical discip lin :; We will not trespass on your Lordship by further detail ; we avow our earnest hope that such measures may be a dopte , as shall tend to improve the efficacy of our Church, and e cure the sacred object fo: which the Church is established to this United Kingdom, viz., the spiritual instruction of $ classes of his Majesty's subjects. And we beg leave most earnestly to assure your Loral° of our own determination, under the blessing of God, to COo: tinue to exert our utmost zeal and diligence in the impor t° , d:scbarge of our parochial duties, and in promoting the o° o l,, fort, welfare, and eternal interests of those committed t° spiritual charge. Signed, on behalf of the Meeting, JOHN MOORE STEVENS'A Archdeacon of Exeter. Exeter, Dec. 18. Palace, Exeter, Dec. 1 8 :,, e Dear Mr. Archdeacon—l have received the cornmunics made to me by yourself and the Clergy of your Archdeacol;iu with much satisfaction, This testimony of confidence in t he Bishops cannot fail to strengthen our hands and hearts id imnertant work in which we may be invited to join. on the first particular mentioned in y our address, the settle ment of the tithe-question, I have no hesitation in assuring you that it is not only my own earliest wish, but also the wish' as I firmly believe, of the Bishops, as a body, to support a l l equitable measure for that purpose which the Governmelili may propose. Having given you this assurance, I shoo have said no more on the matter, had not a statement het:, recently made which demands from me more parti cular scrvation. In the report of a speech delivered at a numerous rneet ie ,, g o in this county by a Member of the late Cabinet , the Bis ny have been arraigned for having repeatedly thwarted t he ended yours of his Majesty's Ministers to settle this most p er p le y question, and for having thwarted them on pleas o f a ;i i questionable character. It is there said that, "In the ses' ru , which has just passed there was one, and more than one,P•he position with regard to tithes which, on being submitted t 0 heads of the Church, they declared should have their.ulv position in the House of Lords, conceiving they we re je ibel otia to their interests. We (the Ministers) did not think, the were injurious, but we thought it useless to force througuated House of Commons a measure which would have been dere in the House of Lords." ; of for Whether the words reported were really spoken it - 511 dby vie to say. It is enough that they have not been disavow,e,der the noble person to whom they are attributed, and that, "'arid the authority of his name, they have obtained circulation, cod of course credit throughout the kingdom. This has illiF t hfC o on me the unpleasing duty, a duty which I owe to my b re if Of —to myself—and to the clergy at large—of availing ri,Yscust the opportunity which you now give me to deny in the st r tau ee est terms, not only the accuracy, but also the entire sobs cras of this statement. No proposition on the subject of tithes to sullmitted to the Bishops; no declaration of our intentie: v u s, opp,;,:,e any such measure of the Government was mod e nor by any one authorized by us, nor by any one w hattv fr o far as I have hen, or believe, certainly not by any one, in t , the his sfatien influeneZ, could be reasonably supposed to c rgan of out' Opiltions. e relP I make these assertions not on C. - j own recollection Ture of but after previous inquiry in quarter: where any ft_ l e memory or defect of information on my part could t hialg; dantly supplied. If, however, lam wrong i rejoice w_. o h of that the means of correcting my error must be wiibin reach him who is alleged to have made the charge. I gams that if he indeed made it he will, for the sake of l' a ts ie.. o ,, which must be dearer to him than any other, the _e o tno truth and justice, state plainly what, and by whom , w:i p tesv propositions made to us ; who it was that declared Ow .. he inf tioa to oppose them in the House of Lords ; and to and when, such declaration was made ? On your second topic—the necesety of an impro/bOOllll cipline over the Clergy, especially in the few cases 0.00 or", thank God when I consider how few!) of charge s ° I i re to e i s r lity—l hardly need assure you that the Bishops are '" anxious to assist in correcting an evil wnich they , a • men, most deeply feel. evin In truth their anxiety on this subject has already a de" itself in no ambiguous way. 'Nearly three years tieuirief: tailed plan was presented by the " Commission for,c ut itts/ A into the practice and jurisdiction of the Ecelesiastioalisory au at the head of which were the Archbishop of Canter'toat to five other Bishops ; and it has been a great disappo ie , or so be us that a Bill which, professing to carry that plall_k oto tbo other for the same purpose) into effect, was broughl.,',, by is House of Lords at the close of the Session of 18 7 e red W g , leading member of the Government, and was then or n ot be printed for general consideration during the re arcs ap only has not yet been proce e d e d w ith, but never a fterwaru pcared in any shape. c e corr e • On the third matter on which you address me--t b w hat is tion of detects in our ecclesiastical polity generally: ° r ei f e ctli , called Church Reform—l hope I remarkh o ever 11 0 P,,„h t iolis anticipated the necessity of lengthened by the . "'bale r which I expressed in my charge sixteen months PR may on Bishops have adopted a similar course ; and o f a e ll : r minat i with confidence, that they have the wish and the f ee l to do every thing which, on due consideratio n, shall our fa° l necessary or really expedient. , Meanwhile, it is no .lie s b ; Ho of that nothing has yet been done. In the be g inning, of t _ sion of 1833 we were taught by the First Ministoter_ioutio: Crown, in his place in Paeliament, to expect a com sini n i ar a . from Government on this important subject. A,_, t s es sio o nouncement was made to us at the close of the la. would bas t ls Such a communication, whenever it had come . Ler found us, as was repeatedly intimated in the House " erfor o o u by our Reverend Primate, ready and anxious to p ower ful part. This feeling cannot be supposed to be less p a Pro": us at present. In conclusion, let me express my earnest 110P: 111 1 ' 11 w - 1y jell!!! prayer (a prayer in which all my Clergy will c .
