Parliamentary reputation. It shows, at toast, that the march of intellect miry imply a retrogade move ment as well as one in advance, and that Alma .3fater estimates the value of her sons, as some worldly fathers have been found to do, not by their acquirements and capacities, but by their pliability for minor interested objects. For what, after all, is the real secret of this oppcsition to Reform in the University of Cambridge ? What is it that has placed Mr. William Peel in the situa tion of its representative but the very same principle which drove his brother from the sister University —the dryad lest the liberal spirit of the age should find its way into these seats of learning themselves; and, above all, lest this bated wo rd Reform should steal in at the portals of our collegiate and eccle siastical establishments ? As the friends to both of them, we earnestly hope and believe that it will; nor will the University sending two anti-reformer to Parliament be able, happily, in any way to ward off this consequence. The time is gone by when the cant of endeavouring to persuade mankind to hallow abuses, or of confounding Reform with in novation, will any longer succeed ; and the clerical voters at Cambridge greatly overrate their own im portance if they imagine that, by thus opposing themselves to the recorded feelings of so Lrge portion of their countrymen, they can hope to de feat the progress of that Reform which the nation asks, and a patriotic Monarch wills.—Morn. Herald. Among the late returns of men adverse to Reform, there is one which stands out in such a manner as not to admit of the possibility of its passing unno ticed. We mean the return for Cockermouth, where Sir James Scarlett appears as the nominee of the Lowthers. And are all his big promises come to this ? Can it be that the once burly barrister is in debted for a seat in Parliament to the progeny of Sir James Lowther, the Cumberland attorney ? There be political vicissitudes, changes of opinions, modifications and varieties of political connection, which admit of some sort of explanation, excuse, or apology. Sir James Scarlett did his utmost in that way not long s'rice, when, in his verbose address (far the pretended speech was never spoken) to the electors of Mahon, he endeavoured to explain to vulgar comprehensions the delicate subtleties and ingenious varieties of his political opinions and con due-, so as to make himself out the most consistent of men, and the most hardly-judged-of by a vile cen sorious Press and public. It would have been too long to have pursued the wily old hero of Nisi Prius through all the sophistries of his tedious de clamation; but we are now saved the pains. The riddle is read. Sir James Scarlett has become the nominee in Parliament of Lord Lansdale, and there is none so simple as to desire further accounts of his political principles or character.—Mortaing Chronicle. The glories of Liverpool do not exceed (that would be impossible), but they will keep pace with these of the country at large. She has nobly re deemed her character and credit. But now let us turn to Alma Mater Cambridge. Do the bigotted and sordid creatures who are now busy, from the Judge to the Curate, in covering her with disgrace, in exposing their parents' shame, really fancy that this one single spot can stand dry amidst the flood of virtue and Reform which is sweeping the land i n it s f u n tide f Will the cleansing tide leave Cam bridge University alone, untouched, to its native pollution ? So ridiculous a notion cannot remain many days in the fuels where, by chance, it may have found admission. The Cambridge Par sons and Heals of Houses cannot seriously expect to make head alone against the w hole people of the United Kingdom. It is not, therefore, from any Idea of the consequences of this pernicious folly injuring the great cause of Reform that we feel any sorrow for the more than monkish ignorance which is now exhibiting at Cambridge, under the auspices of Messes. Goulburn and Peel. But we are some what alarmed for Cambridge herself. Will she and the Church Estaolisliment sot suffer by this perti nacious resistance to the universal will and feeling? S.me stupid fear about tithes and fellowships, no doubt, has been the lever by which the Goulburns and Peats have worked. Are tithes and fellow eihips much more secure in the general disgust into which their owners have fallen, since their conduct .has exposed their base and selfish motives ? But one weed as to these champions of tithes and fellow ships. We give the University much joy of such steady anal vigorous support 1 How loudly did the same men bawl for the Protestant Church against the Catholics and Dissenters ! Who so ready, when it suited their own purposes, to turn sharp round and, leaving the Church in the lurch, to vote for both the Test Repeal and the Emancipation Acts? These are truly the Goulhurn and Peel tribe. Fit men to be trusted ! Well may we repeat of them what Mr. Tierney said of their deceased idol, Lord Castlereagh, " Trust him I Gracious God ! Trust the Noble Lord !! !"—Morning Chronicle. Mr. Duncombe has retired from the contest in Yorkshire. The following cheering account of the state of things in that great county is given by a Tory Paper, the (Leeds Intelligencer):—" Yester day (Wednesday) at noon, the adjourned meeting (of Tories) was held at York; Lord Macdonald in the chair. The attendance was numerous; Mr. Duncombe was himself on the spot. Mr. Beckett Denison stated the result of his mission to London ; after which c onsiderable discussion took place. The issue is, tbat Mr. Duncombe resigns, and the dicta tion-candidates walk over the course ll—Well arty the advocates of the Bill exult." " Ott Monday (says the same Journal), Mr. Bethel!, after beating about and about the bush, formally withdrew his cairn upon the gratitude of the freeholder:a" John Stuart Wortley, Esq. declined standing on account of the expence. Circumstances prevented the Hon. Edward Lascelles from appearing as a candidate. Mr. riuncombe's friends " acted wisely in resolving not to trouble Mr. D.'s friends, or to disturb the county witkout a reasonable hope of victory." The Leeds Intelligencer complains of " the powerful Tory Landholders of the county ;" but really it is asking too much from gentlemen, to wish them to dip their estates without even a reasonable hope of success. We suppose the majority in favour of the Reform candidates would have been as 1? to 1. At the close of the poll in Essex, yesterday, the ntawbers were — Western . . . Lll7 Wellesley - 864) Tyr' - 094 e The first day's poll gave Mr. Wellesley a majority of 80 over Colonel Tyrell ; the second gives him majority of 175. Every day will, of course, increase the distance between them. We consider the de feat of Colonel Tyre!! as certain ; and we doubt very much whether, notwithstanding his following of parsons, be will not deem it expedient to resign. If anything ought to increase the indignation of the country against the anti-reformers, it is their hypo crisy in calling themselves Reformers, in order to trick tote people out of their votes. The trick, however, is something of the stalest. The sort of Reform we ahouldhavefrom men who would not even give Mem bers to two or three large towns, when disfranchise ment was not talked of, may easily be cgnceived. For a genuine convert to Reform ' who has the manliness to come f orwar d and avow lei error , we have the "highest resp ec t. B ut such a man will not have Re form merely in bigmouth, while hegives -'d to its enemies; but will enrol _h, I i• 00, among the reformers mad fight its al b i a p t a t r l t e i s e . s. alitiMcrita is deservedly despised by fight. The T i e h r e e the people twill have fought the good r4'''!il will not only be an immerse majority of reform ers ici ln :The ne w Parliament, but a demonstration wh muss ` for ever silence all who question the universality she feeling in favour of Reform. Whewer of irle iseop4e have had an opportunity of manifesting their 'sentiments, the number in favour of the Reform candidates has demonstrated the hopelessness of. snaking head ne,;. - ainst them. The work has been en- . lirely the people's. rll 7 l.ile . the borouglimongers have been collecting their .lanndreds of thousands, and trying what money can do in obtaining votes, the Reform candidates have in few ingte.ares had any sa crifices to make. Neva yet has the English nation been so unanimous on auy question as on the que, lion of iteform. The confidence of Ministers his. been nobly justified. All, all but the interested few who exist by preying on the people, are in the•ranks of Reform.— itfopning Chi onicic We close our account for the week, of the in ternal proceedings of the country, with all bu' unmingled feelings of satisfaction. Never were there so many triumphs in favour of the King and his people, —never did the cause of Reform triumph so much beyond the expectations of its best friends, —and never did we experience a feeling of such absolute certainty of the success of the Bill, as we now do. The battle hitherto has been desperate — it has been steel to steel—but the strong holds of corruption have, in almost every instance, been beaten down; and the triumph of Mr. Wilde a• Newark—of the Reform candidates in Kent—and, above all, at Liverpool, which General Gascoyne foolishly flattered himself, and endeavoured to per suade otheis, was his own rotten borough, are tests of the approbation of the Bill by the country against which no reasoning can be directed. " The news from the counties is generally dispiriting," says a Tory Evening_ Paper ; and in truth it is so to those who depend upon the counties supporting a system of corruption and bribery, and non representation. Essex exhibits its ReScs" sin candi dates at the head of the poll—the Marquis of Wor cester has been defeated at Monmouth ; and even in the den of East Retford, the cleansing of which might have suved the Anti-Reformers many pangs, the Anti-Reform candidate is at the bottom of the poll. Much more will he found under the regular head of election news of the same gratirying cast; and the only backward circumstances which we have to report are the rejection by one vote of the Lord Advocate for Scotland, in the den of the Melville faction, and-of Lord Palmerston and his colleague having been thrown out at Cambridge. We wish the electors of the latter University joy. They hare nobly earned the applause of the country, and the country, we have no doubt, will take care of them. With regard to the Edinburgh election, the only matter of surprise is that so many should have voted for the Reform candidate. Old Sarum and Gatton are a trifle to the rottenness of Edinburgh ! —Morning Advertiser. The triumph of the Constitutional cause in this result of the Cambridge election has been signal, be yond our sanguine expectations. It is the largest poll which the University has ever exhibited. The highest numbers before this election on record were in 1826—Copley, 776; Palmerston, 631; Bankes, 509; Goulburn, 439. But signal as this triumph is in point of numbers, it is much mere signal if we take into consideration the circumstances of the case.—lst. That of those who polled for Mr. Ca vendish and Lord Palmerston a very large number disapprove of the Bill. That the number of those dissentient from the Reform Bill in the list of their supporters is very great we have unquestionable evidence, for we fear not on this point to chal lenge Lord Palmerston and Mr. Cavendish to contradict it if they can. We have reason to know that they are aware of the fact.-2d. Both the Reform candidates had the full and efli &ent influence of the Government exerted on this occasion with an industry beyond example. 3d. Both the Reform Candidates had the advan tage (always a great one) of being the sitting Mem, berg. Many persons, we know, who disapproved of the Bill, voted for them on this ground. 4 , h. Mr. Cavendish had the full influence of his literary dis tinctions (confessedly of the first order), and they carried to his poll a vast number of men who fear and hate the Government Reform Bill. He also contrived to give Lord Palmerston many a reluctant split vote. sth. Both the Reform Candidates had the advantage of an unworthy anonymous statement, reflecting personally, in the most uncandid manner, and with entice want of truth, on Mr. Goulburn, on the subject of slavery, and which was circulated to a great extent. It was originally circulated in 1826 in writing. On the present occasion it was found profitable to print it in a dark and insidious form (post-paid) to the Members of the Senate— not in Cambridge, where it would have been an swered, but in the country. We know that this statement produced a great effect, transferred many votes and stopped more. Notwithstanding all these hindrances, the intelligence and firmness of the University have prevailed, and pronounced in a clear voice—" Qui Rempublicam salvam esse velit, nos sequatur."—Jforning Post. Another illustration of the spirit in which the present election has been conducted by the Mini sterial party, scarcely less instructive than the re course to brutal violence by which in so many places they have effectually disfranchised the electors, is to be found in the threat fulminated by means, we be lieve, of all the Ministerial Journal& of the metro polis, of destruction to the Chinch of England, in vengeance for the defeat this liberal, loyal, constitu tional, and conscientious party have sustained in the University of Cambridge. This threat, so emi nently chaacteristic of the daring reformers, who hawe undertaken, with the assistance of rabble force, to pull to pieces and reconstruct the Constitution of Great Britain, was thundered out day after day, antecedent to and during the progress of the Uni versity election, by that Journal which is supposed to enjoy the able literary aid, and known to profit by the - oericial and senatorial protection, of the Lord High Chaneellor of England; and this denun ciation of vengeance against the Church was ob viously and avowedly intended to extort the suffrages of the clerical electors of Cambridge in f a vour of the Ministerial candidates. How little do these people kricw of the calm and sober good sense —of the honest intrepitlitye--of the noble firmness, which conscientious arid enlightened men, like the great majority of the clergy of the Church of Eng land, arp capable of displaying in a righteous cause! The clergy o the chinch of England knew, from a thousand unequivocal ieications, that the speedy destruction of that church is one of the inevitable consequences of the political power, if coetineed for any considerable period, of the party issuing this threat ; and had they not known it before, the threat itself would have been evidence more than sufficient to convince the most incredulous. Were the clergy ()four church to form that judgment upon a most iMpoi taus national question which education and reflection have erain.eusly qualified them to pronounce as free and ' independent agepte—were they to employ those suffrages which the taw of the land and the voice of honour and of conscience erinally commanded them to exert, in the spirit of calm and tearTesi irule rid. ence,-4) bare and cowardly subserviency to the high example of the mobs 0 Banbury, Carmarthen, Car lisle, and fifty other places, were the mobs have d e termined the result of the elections ? rs it so soon CO me to this ? Are we already so far ad- vanced ip the career of revolution that the electors of ore of our 4.liiiversities are to judge and vote in obedience to the mandate of the instigators and abettors of those lewlest sad euffian mobs, or to be threatened for their contumacy ssieh the des truction of the National Church? The tbreet is conclusive as to the disposition of the patty which has employed it, bast we yet; hope it has been conceived and uttered by ,tha,t poriY ;P a mistaken and exaggerated notion of its real power., And if it were otherwise---if the eherch were as, much at the mercy of that party as time tilpfi4c6C of q:o latter would seem to imply—still how went and as well as criminal would have been the attempt to 41,Lvte its hatred or appease its fury by concession. Who t;qt know that the :b' at fulminated against the ChurAii, count of the eitetees of Cambridge hiving tefuee.l to.. sacrifice their Conseienee ~- ; ;i/1 their honour in abjez!! sycophancy to the - instigatorea. confederates of mole,, is in fact no o th e r than the first geowl of the hungry wolf, eager to pounce upon 'the lamb he has. ahead ) , selerted as his prey P " How darest thou, disturb the water when J. drink ?" From the len.' guage of the Ministerial or the b,LIe Press (for at the present m oment i t is difficult to winch of the two confederate authorities in the State, Mi oisters or mob, is the ascendant aut h or i ty ) , i t is tolerably easy to conjecture what sort of protectors for the Prow' ant Church it is intended to provide. by the Reform Bill, of which these concurrent powers are the authors and supporters. What as sailants of the Protestant Church it has been deter mined to provide, by means of the Miaisterial' mob measure, as it must operate upon the Irish portion of the House of Commons, we have already sufficiently explained on several former occasions. The Irish Bill will insure the introduction into the House of Commons of seventy or eighty determined as sa]ants of the Protestant Church, agents and in struments of the Popish Hierarchy of Ireland—se venty or eighty O'Connells. The English Bill, if we rrimy infer its effects from the manifest wishes o f its chief supporters, will probably provide, as th” Par liamentary champions of the Church, an equal purn• ber of persons, confirmed disciples of Paine and Voltaire, the Alumni of the Rotunda, seventy or eighty Taylors or Carliles. The present Minis ters of the Crown have excited a storm which they al• ready begin to discover they can neither assuage nor direct. Seasons of fierce commotion or of immi nent peril are usually fatal to the cohesion of parties, having no similarity of di,position nor any commu nity of principle. The public, we have reason to think, will very soon be apprised that there are some of the colleagues of Earl Grey and Lord Brougham whom nature never destined for r evolutionists.— Morning Post. MEETING IN DEVIZES TO ADDRESS HIS MAJESTY. A numerous and highly respectable meeting of the town and neighbourhood of Devizes, was held on Monday last at the Bear Inn, in this town, for the purpo.e of agreeing to an address to his Majesty, thanking him for the magnanimous manner in which he has acted at this crisis, by using his royal prerogative in dissolving Parliament; and also an address to his Majesty's Ministers, approving of their liberal principles. There wrie present on the occasion, officers of the navy and army, magistrates, clergymen of the Church of England, and dissent ing clergymen, yeomen, tradesmen; in short, a finely mixed representation of almost every class. To say that the meeting was barely unanimous in support ing the cause for which it met, would give but a faint idea of the feeling which prevailed—it was most enthusiastic! Mr. Loexe, at the unanimous request of the meet ing, took the chair, and addressed the company in an appropriate speech. Mr. SCOTT moved the first resolution. Lieutenant-Colonel NAPIER—I rise to second the resolution just proposed, and I rise with pleasure, because it is in the performance of a great duty. We are here, Sir, to express our gratitude to the Sove reign, for having dissolved a Parliament that was opposed to the rights of the people. We have to thank the King for that he, by one honest blow, did extingtesh a House of Commons, in which a majo rity of the Members, forgetting that they were the servants of the people, did most insolently deny, arid tyrannically endeavour to trample upon those rights, Which they should have been the foremost to de fend. Sir, to dismiss such a House of Commons was a eise policy—it was an act befitting an eft lightened Monarch, and it deser% es the admiration and the gratitude of an enlightened and high-minded people. Hereafter, 'when history shall spread her pages for the instruction of posterity, she will point with delight to this period—she will say that the reign of George 111. was marked by unjust wars abroad, and by encroachments upon public liberty at home! She will say that the reign of George IV., with the exception of one brilliant, one bene ficent moment, was chiefly remarkable for sullen pride on the part of the Monarch, insolent pretension on the part of the aristocracy, for wasteful extrava gance, for ostentatious journies, and, for vast and useless structures. But of William IV., she will say that he was the first monarch of his family that honestly acknowledged the full rights of -his people ! She will say, that his was the reign of good government—that it was the reign of a pa triot King ! A glorious title—too glorious to be either lightly given, or lightly withheld. But, Sir, I do think that posterity will be as ready as we are, to bestow it upon William IV.; for no sooner did he ascend the throne, than, despising the tinsel of state, he cast a penetrating glapce upon the poli tical condition of the realm. He saw on the one side an impoveished, oppressed, and insulted peopl e , on the other, an insolent oligarchy , p owerful from combination and from wealth,—an oligarchy, proud, menacing, sordid, corrup t, corru p ting,—fiercely pointing to their penal statu tes, while they tore the bread from the hands of the famishing labourers. Seeing this, the King came down from his throne, and turning his back upon the oppressors, with genuine majesty stretched forth his right hand to his suffering people. For this he will be justly called the patriot King; for this we owe him our gratitude ; and for this we are to show ourselves such men, that history *hall not say these people were less sensible to their own wrong, less inte rested to recover their right, than the King was. Yes, Sir; we must take care the historian shall not be able to put down, that the Monarch was high minded, and loved liberty, but the people were slavish and base. But there are those, tilt, who assert that the present cry for Reform --this earnest cry, which is heard:alike from the palace and from the cottage—this cry of a whole nation —is but the beginning of a revolution, an unprincipled and fear ful revolution, which both King and people will have ample cause to rue. Sir, I the truth of this assertion my reason mocks at it, my feel ings repel it. It is incapable of present proof. It is devoid of propriety. It is an assump tion on the part of our adversaries, and thus I will answer it—countrymen, I a ppeal to your breasts, does not conscience sting you when you hear this accusation ? Are your hearts so full of gall, are your minds so perverted, your judgment so clouded, that the frank and jiet c onduct of your Sovereign will only excite your worst passions ? IV3II you at once repay hint with ingra titude, tend drag : down ruin on ) our own heads ?—( Here the cheers shook the room.) I thank you for that loud and honest shout. I kne -v you would epel the calumny. But this foolish and insulting assertion is an artifice by which the more cunning of the oli garchs who have so long misgoverned us hope to perpetuate their power. It is a cry set up to drive away the timid, to deceive the credulous, to baffle the wise, and to overbear the resolute, whenever they would examine too closely into the sys tem "which hes I. , ro9ght us to our present degraded state. I say degrade& became, although the country has' all the outward signs of gloiy and eseelth, the people within are for the most part - a miserable and a Wog glir.!e. pee. The people of England Ere more eller gette, more ingenioes, more industrious, than any other people on the face of tha earth ; an d yet, ill the midst of plenty, created by their own toil, they are scarcely able to procure bread for their suste mince, and while a certain number of persons, a pri vilc:iged few, are gorged with wealth and swol len whit powee, the bulk of the population are desirou s to emigrate; that they mu seek in di sta nt foreign countries that food'and raiment,ent, tin 4 indepen dencc, which they cannot obtain in their Own.

We have rent the veil a sunder.; We hare dared to ID4 into the 'innermost recess,• and we have found n ot a sanctuary, but a ein:k; not holiness, but corruption; not God, but mammon. And having dared so much, shall we fear to do more? Shall we hesitate to cleanse away the foulness ? No! The English are a bold and a persevering people : they may be deceived, they maybe blinded for a time, but their eyes once opened, they are not to be frightened : they will make their voice be heard ! They will make their power be felt ! They will put their strength to the main pillar, and they will shake the temple of corruption from the cornice even to the foundation-atone ! This the people of , England will do; it is their King who leads; mil lions of honest-hearted and clear-headed men will follow him, and they will prove by their conduct how false, bow calumnious is the assertion, that anarchy and not good government is their object. Anarchy! What ! when the King and the people combine to ' support the measures of a legally constituted Mi nister, are the") , to be told by a corrupt and tottering faction, they only desire anarchy ? Are they to he told, that in that fac t ion only are honest and wise men to be found; and that the rest of the pa. tion is but a mixture of knaves and fools? But let me ask in reply, where are the marks of their wis dom to be discovered ?—where of their honesty ? where of their disinterestedness ?—where of their patriotism ? Shall we look for them in the Pension List ?—in their custotrehou , e oaths ?—in their libel laws ?—in their game laws ?—in their bloody penal code ?—in their support of slaVery, whether black or white, in all parts of the globe ?—in the unutte rable degradation, and the perjuries of elections ? or in the never-failing majorities for Ministers, as long as Ministers would support corruption ? Are we to judge of their love of order by their tumul tuous clamour in the House of Commons on the last day of its existence ? or their loyalty, by the insults offered to their Sovereign in the House of Lords; when, even at the foot of the throne, they gave a loose to their factious insolence, and bandied fierce looks with a gracious King, because of his love for his people? Tyrants in their souls, and in their cot:- duct, they had so long ruled by fraud and violence, that even to the last hour they thought to put the Monarch, and they still think to put the people, from the right path. But the people are too mighty for them. The King is too mighty for them. Un disturbed by their subtlety, and undaunted by their violence, he pursued his own just course, and scourged the money-changers and the false ones from the precincts of the temple. It was a great action. He is a great Monarch. And we are a grateful people, and we will support him even as he has supported us. (The manner in which the gallant Colonel deli vered the above address had an effect upon the meet ing scarcely de-cribaide.) Mr. C. L. PiIIPPS said be felt great diffidence in presenting himself, after the manly and eloquent speech of the gallant Colonel. He would merely impress upon the meeting the neressi:y of uniting in a " long pull, a strorg pull, and a pull altoge ther," and by that means, he had no doubt, they m would carry " the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," and save the country from anarchy and confusion. _ _ Mr. WAYLEN and others spoke in support of the resolutions, which being adopted, four times four hearty cheers , were then given for the King, and three times three for the chairman; and the company dispersed.

IRELAED-DUBLIN, MAY 3. In the Court of King's Bench this morning, the case of " The King v. O'Connell" and others was called on, but on account of the absence of Mr. Perrin it was postponed to this day week. Mr. Holmes, who made the application for delay, ex pressed a wish that the Court would tame Tues day next, or any more distant day they pleased.— The prosecutions may be said to be virtually at an end_ Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by Mr. Steele, leaves town this day for Clare, in order to employ his iauence with the peasantry for the restoration of tranquillity. From all I can learn, it appears most probable that Mr. Maurice O'Connell and Mr. O'Gorman Mahon will be returned for this county. There is no Antl-Reform candidate. The O'Brien family, as friends of Reform, have very properly refrained from provoking a contest. It is not likely that there will be any contest in the city of Limerick. Mr. Spring Rice was most successful in his canvass on Monday. His reception amongst the electors was very enthusiasfc, and 1,.500/. was instantly subscribed to defray his ex penses, if Mr. Dickson, the Anti-Reform candidate, should venture on a contest. The Messrs. Howley subscribed 2001., and Mr. O'Connell .50/. There will be a most vigorous struggle to put out Lord Castlereagh in Down county. Reform meet ings have been held in all parts of the county, and spirited subscriptions entered into. Mr. S. Craw ford is mentioned as the popular candidate. There are two Reform candidates in Longford county, and a considerable subscription has been already made. The prospect for the Reformers continues to wear the most cheering a , pect. MAY 4. The success of the Lord Mayor and Mr. Perrin, the Reform candidates, is now considered pretty cer tain. One of them at least will be returned. The reformers are making the most vigorous exertions the parishes are all about to meet and subscribe; of them, St. Andeor, takes the lead this day. On the other hand, the anti-reformers are not idle. The inte:ested prejudices of the low freemen are warmly appealed to—tile spirit of Orangeism has been excited throughout the guilds; but the re formers proceed with coolness and energy—they are hourly receiving accessions to their strength; arid some amongst them, whose calculations I should be disposed to rely upon, assure me that victory is in their hands. The Tores utterly defeated in Dublin! This would be a triumph more glorious even than that achieved in Li►erpool, the account of which spread j: :.y throughout the city this meriting. Mr. M'Clintock, the Tory, has retired from Dun dalk. The refl , rners walk over the course. The Terry Alts of Clare have served a notice on Major Macnarnara, threatening his life if be should stand for that county. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS.

One the plans attributed to him with this object is that of re'' fusing to accept payment in full on the new luau, that the, , subscribers might not be furnished with a s u p p ly o f stork to throw upon the market. This, however, is no t acel ti ' rate, as there are, letters in town from agents to Engli' houses, announcing their having completed such paymen g L 4 A French 'Minister of Finance, it must be allowed. more power, and much less scruple in employing it , ... j " operations On the Funds, than is the case in England, the purchases for the sinking fund are not at fixed period* but take place at his discretion, and he has generally fr es / other sources a pretty large supply of ready money. Tite r exists also a motive for engaging in such transactions in ll : 1 which would make them less culpable, if the charge w e re admitted, than at other periods, which is, that the extraordinary decline in the French Funds is believed t . have been brought about in some measure by the mac e' nations of the Carlist party, with whom profit o r lose 'l'; came secondary considerations, if they could succeed , 1 , embarrassing the Govt rnment, and c r eate th e impress';,- in foreign countries that France was on the eve of a get ral convulsion. That the Mini s t ers h ave acte d on t'.l supposition is evident, from many of their late o perati, in the money mar ket. The er ror on th e par t o f those W I have noticed those operations, and al s o th ose of the spec: l ' u lators for the fall, has ben its ascribing far too great portance to both. However large the scale of speculat.tes in either case may have been, the object must have if it bad not had the concurrent support . of the alcm'i,f),; interest generally.
