(Abridged fr3m the Plymouth Herald of Saturday.) Lord John Russell arrived here on Saturday morning, and in pursuance to notice which had been given, met his Committee at the Mechanics' Institute, in Princes' Square. There r.pwards of two hundred electors for the county present. R. RAYLY, Esq., the gentleman who officiated so ably as chair man of the committee at the last election, was requested to cake the Chair. Shortly after one o'clock, the Noble Lord entered the room, and was received with the highest enthusiasm. JOHN COLLIER, Esq., M. P., moved the first resolution. Feeling satisfied with Lord John's principles, particularly after reading his speech at Totnes, he was anxious that he should be re-eletted as their representative—( Loud cheering.) Dr. COOKWORTIIY seconded the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then rose, and several minutes elapsed, so ardent was the applause which he was greeted with, before he could be heard. His Lordship said, It was was my fortune to belong to a Ministry, which, after a long and arduous struggle, was enabled to carry the Act, commonly called the Reform Act--(Loud cheering) —and it was the opinion of Lord Grey, the man from whom the Reform Act had its source, that instead of attempting at once to push forward every measure that was desirable, to the full extent of his own liberal and comprehensive views, it would be better to carry them forward, after that measnre had been secured and placed in the hands of the people, with as little agitation as possible. That may or may not have been good policy Ott the part of Earl Grey. Those who considered it would have been better for him to have gone to the full extent of his own views and those of Lord Althorp, may have been right ;—I merely say that such was the opinion Lord Grey entertained, and I do consider myself I should not have been justified in incurring the responsibility of disturbing the policy of two such men as Lord Grey and Lord Althorp ; and that it was better for me to incur even some degree of obloquy, than run the hazard of exciting or p . romoting dissension in a Government of which Lord Grey was the chief, and Lord Althorp the leader in the House of Commons.—( Loud cries of " Hear. hear," and cheers.) Be that as it may, the time had at length come when it was necessary for Lord Melbourne's Government to bring forward several important measures, which the people looked to as the fruits of Reform. Such were the intentions of the Government—but those intentions have been frustrated for the present by what has occurred; still, I can see no occasion for that alarm which is felt in some parts of the country.—( Hear, hear.) We are told that it is the wish of his Majesty to correct abuses, and to increase the prosperity of his people.—( Hear, hear.) I would, therefore, say to you, act in accordance with the wishes of his Majesty, and in the event of a dissolution, elect such men as will sin cerely set themselves to correct abuses and promote the pros perity of the country. I, for one, shall feel no regret for what has occurred, if I see the Government steadily proceed with the correction of abuses; but, until then, I shall not place much trust in them ; but, if sincerely anxious to correct abuses, I, for one, shall he happy to see our mutual object attained.— (Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord resumed his seat amidst loud and continued applause. T. BEWES, M. P. for Plymouth, then rose to propose the following resolution ; Resolved—" Th a t this Committee having the fullest confi dence in the well-known political principles of Lord John Russell, is determined to use its utmost exertions to secure his re-election for the Southern Division of the County of Devon, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament." WM. PRANCE, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously. Dr. BALDY asked whether the intention of Mr. Bulteel, the other Member for the Southern Division of the County, was yet known, as it was understood it was to be announced at this meeting. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that he seen Mr. Bultcel, who reserved his opinion till a dissolutio n took place, though, if he were pressed, he was ready to make a declaration. Mr. ELMS rose and said, he wished to ask the Noble Lord present a few questions relative to his opinion as to the Dis senters' grievances. The CHAIRMAN said it was contrary to the object of the Meeting. This did not, however, satisfy Mr. Elms, who again rose, when he was interrupted by Mr. Prance, who said he could speak for the Dissenters in this and the adjoining towns —they were all satisfied with Lord John Russell's conduct. Mr. Elms was again proceeding, when he was stopped by the impatience of the Meeting, who were averse to hearing him. Lord JOHN RussELL however, rose, and said, after what had occurred, he would say a few words. The fact was, that as soon as the last Session of Parliament was closed, at Lord Melbourne's request ho had had a correspondence with the Committee of Dissenters in London, with a view to propose measures for their relief, but the matter was in such a state, that he could not say what the measures were which would have been brought forward, but there was every disposition to relieve the Dissenters, and that was the end they had in view. The CHAIRMAN then declared the meeting dissolved. Lord JOHN RUSSELL whose reception at Plymouth must have been highly gratifying to him, proceeded to Saltram, the scat of the Earl of Morley, and from thence, during this week, hr. I went to Undsleigh—his noble father's near Taristeck. HAMBURG PAPERS.

NELL GWYNNE.—This celebrated female while alive made a great noise in the world —and when defunct was resolved that the noise should be perpetuated, by bequeathin g in her will " a leg of mutton and trimmings" to the bell ringers of Saint Martin's Church in the Fields, each Monday night, for ringing the steeple bells. Bell-ringing in a popu lous city is inexcusable, and is a great annoyance to the sick and the dying who hear the noise ; and in St. Martin's parish it is the more to be deprecated, because there are such patients constantly in the hospital, at a short distance from the church. In many cities on the Continent the perpetual ringing of bells, of all sorts and sizes, is an intolerable nuisance ; and bell ringing, wherever it is practised, is a monstrous bore. On Monday morning, about eight o'clock, there came on a storm of wind and hail, accompanied by vivid flashes of lightning and loud claps of thunder, which, for about a quarter of an hour, made a terrible devastation amongst the glass in the neighbourhood. Some thousands of panes in va rious churches, factories, dwelling-houses, and hot-houses were fractured by the hail stones, which were as large as mar - bles, and some few, we are told, measured two and a half inches in circumference. —Macclesfield Courier. DREADFUL OCCURRENCE. -0 11 Sunday morn ing, the 7th inst., as some persons were amusing themselves by throwing stones down a coal-pit, in the neighbourhood of Sneyd-green, they were startled by the voice of a man issuing from a pit, exclaiming, " Oh ! don't, I have suffered enough !" They immediately gave miserable and means were resorted to to release him from his condition. •On his being drawn up from the pit he presented a shocking spectacle, his head being cut in a most severe manner. He is at present in a very dangerois state. It seems that the unhappy sufferer, whose name is William Harrison, had been drinking at the Bull's Head, in Sneyd-green, the preceding night, and being fi intoxicated on leaving the h ouse, stumbled into the pit, twenty ve yards deep, only partially covered over, and remained there the whole of the night ; and had it not been for the cir cumstance of the boys throwing down the pit, would probably have perished in that dreadful situation. —North Staffordshire Mercury. Our readers will be amused (surprised they cannot be at any thing coming from that quarter) with the extract we havo given, in another column, horn the temporary organ of the Tory Govern- This lucubration is remarkable for the zone of earnestness with which it opposes the dissolution of the present Parliament, before the mea sures of the new government 'lave been submitted to its consideration. Indeed the " Correspondent who signs himself Spectator," and who seems, (by what chance we cannot surmise,) to have got hold of the edi torial pen, does not scruple to acknowledge that the approaching dissolution fills him " with amazement," as if it were a thing never heard of before. It is true the subject has been very cautiously avoided by a certain journal that shall be nameless. It has, we believe, never once mooted the point—but every body knows that it has all along been the intention of the Duke of WEL• LINGTON tO "cashier" the present House of Common before it re-assembles, and every body sees the object of such a proceeding—h e must be blinder than a mole who does not. Do we accuse our contemporary of this blindness ? Far from us be the thought of such an insult. We only smile at the symptoms of distrust that begin to appear, where so lately all was confidence. It says, " If the nation finds that the present House of Commons has been cashiered for its devo tion to the cause of reform, every man will then na turally ask his neighbour, can this be a Reforming Ministry, which commences its government by so unequivocal a demonstration of hostility to thero gress of amendment ? "p Now, we are sure that this is a question that every one has already asked his neighbour, and •to which the answer may be safely given, without waiting for a dissolution to con firm its probability. We are not qu it e so sure that those who have been preaching, so dogmatically, the doctrine of implicit faith —who have been so forward to impute factious and interested motives to all who ventured to hint a suspicion regard. ing the intentions of the Duke of WELLINGTON and his party—who have made themselves hoarse with bawling "no condemnation without trial," " wait for their measures"—we arc not sure, we say, that such ,persons have any right to find fault with a dissolution. They ought to practise their own pre cept. They ought to take it for granted that the in tention is good. They ought to " wait for the mea sures" before they pronounce sentence. Has any new light broken in ? Has the stability, rather than the inten- ment. VIM SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 184 -1. -c. f. -r. f. -c. f. -c. elector wa3 situate. The main purpose of the meeting of the Common Council yesterday was to re move this anomaly, to regulate the exercise of the franchise by placing it on a more equal footing, and to regulate according to some fixed principles the general right of voting. After the discussion was opened, Mr. Deputy WO OD moved the following important resolution as a remedy for the evil complained of, which he was of opinion admitted of no delay in the application of some means of removal ;—" That, in order to secure the respectability of the Court, and a judicious exer cise of the discretionary power, due caution should be taken in the election of gentlemen to fill the magisterial chair ; and as the present _choice is confined to a few, and, generally speaking, a very small proportion of each ward, claiming an exclusive persimal privilege, some may be made Aldermen . without the approbation, if not in opposition to the wishes and even the in terests, of the great bulk of the inhabitants, it is de sirable, therefore, to alter the present description of the electors to that office ; and for such purpose we recommend that all persons within each ward, capably of voting for Members of Parliament for the City of London, under the Act of Parliament of the 2d of WILLIAM IV., c. 4, entitled An Act to amend the representation of the people in England and Wales,' should have votes in the election of aldermen, and should be made compellable to serve all ward and cor porate offices ; that the Common Council and ward offiers should be elected by the same parties who elect aldermen, and that the electors of Common-halls should be those who are qualified to vote under the Reform Act," Upon this resolution Mr. PRITCHA RD moved as an amendment :—" That one uniform right of voting ought to be established for the election of the mayor, sheriffs, aldermen, chamberlain, common -councilmen, and auditors of this city, and that such right of voting ought to be enjoyed by all freemen house holders of not less than 101. annual value, paying scot and bearing lot, who shall be free at the time of election, and who have resided twelve months within the city." This amendment, which is a great improvement on the original motion was, we are happy to announce, carried by a considerable majority, the 101. qualification, and the condition of a year's resi dence within the ward, being omitted. This con duct speaks well for the liberality and sound constitutional principles of the good citizens of Lon don. Let them go on thus—let them conform their institutions to the laws, customs, and habits o the country, and they will supersede the necessity of Parliament interfering with their ancient privileges. The great public meeting of the electors of the Western Division of the county of Somerset, which took place cn Monday last at Taunton, is a proof that the spirit of Reform is just as much on the alert in this county, as it is in all the other counties in England. Sir THOMAS LETIIBRIDGE, who de servedly possesses great influence in Somersetshire, was present on the occasion, and made an ad mirable speech, temperate, but firm, and full of valu able suggestions. The Hon. Baronet well remarked, " I look upon it as the great benefit of the Reform Act that public opinion . must henceforth govern the country. In vain now for men, let them be ever so signally great in other things, to say to Reform ',Stop, Halt,'—it cannot be, because as yet the commence- runt only of Reform has yet taken place. Reform is now as warmly desired as ever, and I give you this bit of consolation —you are sure to have it under any circumstances." Truer words than these were never spoken. Were even An Ultra Tory, instead of a Tory Administration, now to take the helm, it must either consent 1.0 walk side by side with else b e IL P EEL and even keep ahead of, Aeform, or Prepared to b e t ratnp l e d on . No ,doubt Sir to a c ons id era bl e extent i s aware of thi s ; still the country, wise from experience, entertains such a lions of the new Administration become a question ?And how are we to understand the following words ? " We might safely say, that in a Cabinet of which Sir ROBERT PEEL, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and Lord LYNDHURST are the leaders, the subordinate members are not likely to exercise any independent power." Is this intended as a compliment to the Triumvirate or to the Subordinates ? With respect to the time at which the Par liament is dissolved, it does not appear to us a matter of great importance. It is but a choice of evils for the Ministers. If they dissolve now, they at once disclose their Anti-Reform tendencies. If they meet the present Parliament, they do so under the disadvantage that, if they propose meddling with the Church and the Corporations, they will lose the support of all the honest Ultra-Tories in the kingdom ; and if their so-called measures of Reform should not be ample enough to satisfy the views of the House of Commons, the House will hoist them up to its own standard, which will bring on a collision with the Lords. If a dissolution is resorted to under such circumstances, the Members will go back to their constituents, with the strongest possible claims on their gratitude and confidence. We are truly happy to find, from a report of the proceedings of the Common Council, which is given in another part of The Sun, that there is a deep and settled conviction in the minds of the citizens of Lon • don, of the necessity of conforming ancient usages to the spirit of the times in which we live. In all elec tive governments—and in all mixed monarchies in which the right of election is recognised, to consoli date the bases and purify the exercise of the franchise, are the only effectual means for maintaining rational li berty, and securing the righteous administration ofjus tice. The statesman who proposes a plan for defending the free exercise of the right of election, lays the axe to the root of all cor ruption in Government ; if he carry it, and bring it into operation, he has (lone his duty ; what remains belongs to the people—it is their part to do all the rest. Happily for this country, all Reformers- are acting on this principle. The best-informed citizens of London have long laboured to extend the fran chise within the City, and have frequently coin• plained, that by confining the election of Cor porate officers to members of the Livery, the natural rights of Englishmen were violated in the persons of the freemen, who were taxed without their consent. Since the passing of the Reform Bill this abuse has become so glaring, by contrast with the provisions of that Act, as to silence every stickler for a con formity with past usages. It looked monstrous that a citizen of London should have the right of voting for a Member to represent himself in Parliament, and }'et continue ineligible to vote for an Alderman, to watch over the interests of the Ward in which he lived, and in which his qualification as a Parliarnentar "It is said, why should the Whigs be dismissed from office, if the Duke of WELLINGTON a►►d Sir ROBERT PEEL intend to pursue the self-same plans as the Whigs ; THEY WILL NOT DO SO I and if they did I would not support them." Was this notable asseveration indebted for its birth to authority or pre science ? The people have long indulged in a little gratuitous soothsaying about this matter, and it is really delightful to have such corroborative testimony from so excellent a source ; but if the intelligence was commu nicated from authority, they cannot well m'stake the path they ought to follow. Let them then bear this well in remembrance—the Duke and Sir ROBERT tvill not do so. Nothing can be clearer or more dis tinct ; what more would the people ask ? We have made these extracts (from a speech too silly to laugh at) but for one purpose—they are a Tory declaration of Tory doctrines, the disclosure of Minis terial disposition, by a true thick-and-thin supporter of the Ministry. It is well to know the nature of the weapons with which an enemy intends to assail us ; doubt, therefore, need no longer be one of our alarms. There is the adverse force—we have the power to op pose it successfully if we choose. But we ought not to sleep lethargically upon the consciousness of our superiority. Power is valueless if not exercised. Bu one blow requires to be stricken—and shall we no We have received the whole of the Paris Journals of Monday. The Courrier Francais devotes an ar ticle to the reception of M. THIERS as a Member of the French Academy, which seems to have created a sensation in the Parisian literary world. As many Members of the Chamber of Deputies as could obtain admission were present, as was also Prince TALLEY- R AND and several other persons of great distinction. The attendance of the Members of the Academy was indeed extraordinary, hardly one of them being missing on this occasion. M. THEIRS delivered a very long oration, in which lie congratulated France on the existence of the Academy ; lauded the Academy for being worthy the great and mighty nation by which it was countenanced and recognized ; and expressed himself one of the proudest and happiest men in the world of being thought worthy to belong to such a body. He travelled through the whole field of Grecian and Roman politics ; drew a parallel between the state of France and the conditions of those departed nurseries of liberty, and concluded without comparing himself to DEMOSTIIENES or CICERO in forensic eloquence, which undoubtedly was an act of wonderful self-humiliation. He drew a comparison between the lives of Statesmen and men of Science, and concluded with a rapid sketch of the life of his predecessor in the Academy—which always forms a necessary part of such orations. The only other domestic intelligence relates to the election movements, on which articles appear both in the Moniteur and the Constitutionnel. As they are entirely made up of opinion, we do not think it worth while to detail them. New York Papers to the . 23d ult. have been re. ceived. Th e y all unite in stating that the result o the elections has been favourable to the gen6ral line of policy advocated by General JACKSON. The Pre sident appears determined to crush the Bank of the United States, and he is carrying on his project with a high hand. Recently he has published an order, in which he expressly forbids all Custom house officers and others, receiving monies in the name and under the authority of the Government, to receive the Bank paper in payment of any sum claimed by them. The Baltimore American states that the amount of specie imported into the United States from Ist December 1833, to the 30th October of the pre sent year, (eleven months,) is 19,640,576,82 dollars. The amount of gold coined or re-coined at the United States mint, since the new coin went into operation, is ° 835, 900 dollars. The accounts of the crops in Charlestown are very wholesome distrust of all measures that may emanate from him and his, that dissolution, or no dissolution, we can foresee no other fate for him than a speedy and inglorions retreat from office. We arc delighted to see that the general feeling at this important Western meeting was that of unequivocal hostility to the Tories. Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE, who knows them well, said " I do not think they can ever be real Reformers." The new Government must needs be in raptures at the eloquence of their friend Lord STORMONT. The speech delivered by that sapient scion of the house of Mansfield was so declaratory of pure Toryism, that no doubt can remain as to the nature of its essence. Let us catch two or three of the feathers that indicate the . _ wind's present quarter : " I avow," said that admirable youth, (for he has not yet notched thirty upon his life's tally,) " that I always had a violent dislike to the word Reform ; there is much in a name, and I have strong feelings against that name." No doubt of it—lives there the Tory who does not participate in this violent dislike ? and, if the mere " word is sufficient to throw them into convulsions, what dire calamity might not be expected to result from that more than word —operant reform ? Again— " I also • believe that the State must fall, in which is religion and politics are not intimately blended." To the Bench of Bishops this animating sentence must have sounded like the cheer given to the leaders of a forlorn hope—visions of the good old times—Church and King, Church and State, Church in danger times —must have flitted before their reverend eyes in bright array. The blessed effects of the blending of Church and State have been long eminently displayed in Spain and Russia, to go no further for them : the late King FERDINAND, of petticoat embroidering memory, must needs have been a co-disciple in this sublime dogma. We recur to it only as being illustrative of one of the articles of the Tory faith, and requiring little animad• version at our hands : " But should it appear that there are abuses which have crept into that establishment through tima, I will willingly abide by those who desire to correct such abuses, maintaining at the same time in its full effi ciency the Church Establishment."—" If am prepared to correct abuses in the Church, I am also one of those who would die in her defence." How refreshingly inno cent is the doubt here suggested—" Should it ap pear !" Nothing of course has yet appeared before his Tory vision in the shape of Church abuse, but " should it," then he is content to abide by those who, discovering it, shall have a desire to correct it ; still, however, being chivalrously ready to die in " her de fence. " The blood of the Fathers was the seed of the Church," and half a dozen martyrs about this time would reinstate the Holy Mother in all her lost efful gency ; but it is sadly to be feared that the days of fire and faggot are gone by. Nevertheless, his Lord ship deserves to be canonized, were it only for the avowal of his holy valour. Once more— favourable, particularly of cotton. The papers further detail a shocking outrage on the Washington Railway, in which three deputy superintendents , were brutally. murdered. It does not appear what was the nature of the provocation received by the murderers. Their appre hension had not taken place previous to the publica tion of these journals. The New York papers of the 23d thus quote the funds :—" Sales were made yes terday on London at 6/ per cent., and on France at sf. 35c. Oth e r foreign bills are rather sca,',7e, and may be quoted ; Holland 39 cents, Hamburg 35 cents, Bremen 77i- cents. Money continues plenty." SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. (FROM LLOYD'S.)

We have no arrivals this morning, with the exception of the French and Hamburg mails, and the express from Paris. The contents of the above arrivals will be found in another part of the paper. The private letters from Paris state that a secret article was attached to M. Ardouin's treaty for the new Spanish loan, giving him the right to rescind his bargain, should the Com mittee of the London Stock Exchange refuse to allow it to be negotiated in the house. Should the above information prove correct, it certainly will have a great influence with the Corn mittee of the Stock Exchange, but we apprehend it is only an on dit. THE FUNDS. At present there is a stagnation in the Funds, and up to the present hour scarce a bargain has been done, as the specula tors and the public are waiting for the dissolution cf Parlia- Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday, 92k for the Account ; Spanish also opened at the leaving off price, 521 ; Portuguese, 854 . . It is still the prevailing opinion that the Ministry will not be able to support themselves after the meeting of Parliament. Spanish Stock just improved to 52i 53. HALF-PAST ONE. , The general topic of conversation in the City and on 'Change relates to the two Gentlemen who proceeded yester day to the Spanish Charge d'Affaires, to hare an explanation respecting the letter he sent to the meeting of the Spanish Cortes Bondholders. One of the gentlemen was the Chair man of the Committee, and the other a very respectable He brew, belonging to the Stock Exchange. We hear that the Hebrew Gentleman retired to the Charge d'Affaires' Cabinet, whether by desire, or of his own request, we cannot say, and being exhausted with waiting, he altogether retired. The conversation which took place with the Chair man of the Committee of the Cortes Bondholders is stated to be, that the Spanish Charge d'Affaires assured him that the Spanish Government had in its possession a half years' dividend on the Cortes Bonds, which would be paid to them in next July. We hear that three other gentlemen pro ceed this morning to the Spanish Charge d'Affaires to have a further conversation on the subject, but the Duke of Wel lington having sent for the Spanish Charge d'Affaires, the meeting was postponed until to-morrow. The above adventure of the Hebrew gentleman caused a jocular movement at the Stock Exchange. On his entering the House a similar scene took place, as in the tragedy of " Macbeth;" a circle, n o t o f w it c h es , b ut o f a number of the gentleman of the House, danced round the bewitched Hebrew, who appeared horror-struck, fearing that a trap-door would open, and that he would be swallowed up ; but this was not the case, for they kept him from fainting, by handing him con tinually the smelling-bottle, and singing in grand chorus, " Pray, Goody, do but moderate the anguish of thy temper." Thus ended this scene. Consols steady at 92 to ; Spanish, 52i- ; Portuguese, 85. THREE O'CLOCK Console 92 to i for the Account. THE FUNDS.—CLOSING PRICES. BRITISH FUNDS.

A Quarterly General Court of the Proprietors of Fast India Stock was held this morning. H. ST. GEORGE TUCKER, Esq., Chairman, and several Pi' rectors, took their seats at 12 o'clock, when the minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed. The CHAIRMAN said, that in consequence of the non-arriol of the proper accounts from Bombay and Bengal, the Direc tors were not able to lay them before the Court, as direco by the bye-laws. He laid on the table a return of the Custom Revenue at Bombay, as ordered, and two letters received from the President of the Board of Control, relative to th e compensation scale agreed to by the Directors. He regretted that the allowance to midshipmen, and other junior officer s ' was so small. si . i • CHARLES FORBES was very sorry that the Directors; had not tah. the excellent advice contained in these letters. \lr. WEEDING j ::ined:ith the Hon. Baronet in pressing the claims of the junior au;"rs: The CHAIRMAN said the 131:ectors had no power to alter the scale. Mr. WEEDING contended that the Difcctors had the pow er of taking the case into their consideration. The CHAIRMAN rose to reply, and was left speaking- VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY•) Causes of no general interest occupied the Court the whole morning.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(TIIIS DAY•) THOMAS V. WEBBER. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, with whom was Mr. GAist,ss, stated the case. It was an action brought by an apothecary residing in Vauxhall-bridge-road, to recover the sum of 3 5 ' for medicine and medical attendance upon the wife of the de fendant, who is a piano -fo r t e ma k er in t h e emp l o yment 1), ; Messrs.
