'''' knowledge which, would germinate to their eternal well fare in the world to come.—(Loud cheers.) This:is , 1 ::::, - the first difficulty ; perhaps not an insurmountable •one - ; '*-- but it would require the exercise of the greatest calmness: and conciliation to provide a suitable substitute. I had the ' honour to be president of an institution for the education of the sons of the military. In this establishment there was a chapel, where service was performed by a minister of the Church of England, and religious instruction provided agreeable to that persuasion. During the whole period of my connection with that establishment, I never heard any one complain because of our connection with the Church of England. But had there been no religious instruction at all, would the parents of the children attending the school not have withdrawn them from it ? I have no doubt many would immediately have done so.—(Loud cheering.) It is well known that during war the army and navy attend cha pels of the Church of England—l will not say this is right, but it is the fact. I was once applied to to appoint Pres byterians to that duty ; to this I saw no objection ; but I put the question to the gentleman who made the proposal, " Are you prepared to allow the Irish regiments their Ro man Catholic ministers ? or, in case you are not prepared for that step, are you prepared for no Chaplains at all ?" Thus we see that though well-intentioned men see objects that are - desirable, it is not so easy to attain them. Sir George Murray then adverted to another difficulty, viz., the degress connected with which the power and patronage of the Church of England are involved. Sir George continued—lt has been asserted that I have broken a pledge by not voting for Mr. Wood's Bill—l never gave a pledge to support this particular Bill. This, Bill was wholly unknown to me at the time it is reported the pledge was made. The order for printing it was given on the 21st of April ; and as the printing does not immediately follow the order, it was the middle of May before it could be in any one's hands. It was therefore impossible that I could have given a pledge, as the zeal •or malignity of some have imputed to me.— (Loud cheers.) It has been said that in my addresses, to • the constituency I had given such a pled] ; but I will not allude to these, for it will be recollected tht:t there were so many commanding orators who possessed sta2 much com manding eloquence, or rather so much eloquent: at com mand—(Loud laughter)—that it would be a ws`tste of time to go over all that then might have been said.

THE Public is respectfully informed that the Second Volume of this highly interesting work is now ready. It contains a full and fair report of the proceedings in both Houses of Parliament, the speeches of the Members, and the divi sions on all important questions. There are two Indexes to the publi cation, the one arranged alphabetically according to the questions brought forward, but containing also the speeches of the Members, with appropriate references ; the other containing an alphabetical list of the House of Commons, and the numbers of the pages wherein the speeches of every Member may be found, so as to give, at one view, all that has been said by each. The size of the work (royal Bvo. ) renders it convenient for libraries and now that the Mirror of Parliament has ceased publication, this work is by far the most copious and the most authentic record of Parliamentary proceedings. The price of the Second Volume of " Northcroft's Parliamentary Chronicle," is 1/. 155., and the two volumes as yet published may be had of Messrs. Northcroft and Co., at their Parliamentary Office, Nos. 96 and 97, Chancery-lane, as well as at most respect able booksellers in Europe. Messrs. Northcroft and Co., take this opportunity of returning thanks for the patronage they have received, and assure their friends and the public that their duties with respect to the " Chro nicle" shall be resumed at the commencement of the next session of Parliament, and continued with the same assiduity and accuracy by which they have hitherto been characterized. PUBLIC DINNER TO THE DUKE OF WEL• —to do anything to promote the advantage of this town, ex cept to watch over its peace and tranquillity, and to co-ope late with you by every means in my power to provide for both.—(Hear.) Gentlemen, your Honourable President has been pleased in the few words he addressed to you to ad vert to the services in which I have been engaged on behalf of this country. I have now- the pleasure to see myself surrounded by many of those gallant comrades who enabled me to perform those military services of which your Presi dent has been pleased to express his approbation, with, as it appears, your satisfaction.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, these gallant friends of mine are English gentlemen, of the same class with yourselves, and I may add my belief, that there is not one of you of whom I could not equally say with the utmost confidence, that, under similar circumstances, you would have as bravely performed every duty reqUired of you. Your Hon. President has also been pleased to ad vert to other services which I have been enabled to render when placed in other circumstances.—(Hear, hear.) Those whci assisted me to perform those services—for, after all, I could not have performed them alone—were equally gen tlemen of the same class with yourselves ; and I express anew my firmest reliance and strongest assurance that, if you were placed in similar circumstances, you would have given me your assistance in performing those services which have met with your approbation.—(" Yes, yes.") Gentle men, I will not say more. I beg to return you my most sinette Thanks, and assure you that 1 have waited on you WitlFlt le greatest satisfaction. The Noble Duke sat down amidst renewed cheers. LINGTON AT RAMSGAEE. (Abridged from the Morning Chronicle.) A public dinner was given at six o'clock last evening to the Duke of Wellington, by certain of the inhabitants of the port of Ramsgate and its vicinity. The tickets of ad : - mission to the entertainment stated it as in honour of " the Duke of Wellington, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports." The Chairman specially appointed for the occasion was Sir William Curtis, Bart., a stout and strong Conservative ; and all the stewards—thirty in number—have long been known throughout the county as faithful apostles of the same creed. Further, it was candidly admitted to us by one of the most active managers (all of whom were most courteous in their attention to the Reporters), that he could not find in the whole list of gentlemen who bad taken tickets a single individual professing liberal principles. The toasts, too, were all of. a character to prove eminently agreeable to the palates of well-seasoned Tories. Indeed, whatever may be said to the contrary, we honestly confess we never partook of a dinner which more strongly smacked of the Conservative cooking.

Amongst the latter the affair appeared to us to create hardly any interest at all. Preparations are in progress to enter* the Duke'. At Dover and various other places. The Tories are deter: mined, it appears, to put a bold front upon the matter.— Ramsgate, Margate, and the surrounding district, contain an immense number,of freeholders, and exercise a most im portant influence on the county elections ; and it appears to be thought, from his personal character, that the Duke of Wellington's " progress," if anything like a violent Tory demonstration be avoided, will be likely to conciliate the opponents of what is now so speciously termed " Conser- bee f ' which h" e e ioo e his aPPreb'„ ; i etor-gener" e o te s Ilf• orr ect. ny persocatn if .;ki, ; a man s,J,'" el oor d not." tha t li r deed, said 0 i 1 he bad se,' (00,1 R. was the ePV It has 0 , - n e ire; e xplanat e wr ong that oet he fortuo n atejio.fie ant might was ho te ,„ gr e unfortione ia emain - 3 t , a es not see ° wif e Las crime, °d bo l Town UP , LlStOn:4°llSe: .0" ( s cd for til e ri 4 ce V ic° three half-I„ 4 , son. r r ee , heir. ra w ti Lad ;, ; ter' of a dati,,,f ti 1)3/1 lady F,vans• y, ;f Thomas of therlann, John Fr ede o r b icter doe le , flora Ot t itop e o , r ylebonel O tIV daughter of olr fi z abeth 1, Trapp' A Lane ' ti e har. - 0 1 .ow• fs4'' tave nor, a, Wes' p eel hn Scott, pea. 0 of then hter ran d -dug r s f g rre d, Ja' ne • m° l,3 ' /t th yea r, of the Ite 3 .Ntit Y°L) Also, by the same Author, In 1 thick vol. dewy Bvo., price 18s. boards, 1 .

UNDER the PATRONAGE of HIS MAJESTY, and AU- THORIZED by the LORDS of the TREASURY. IGHT RESTORED.-NERVOUS HEAD k--3 ACHE CURED.—This discovery has proved itself of the greatest importance to the public. The numerous testimonials the inventor has received during the last twenty years, from families and editors of the first respectability, proving the truth of this infallible restorative, all of whom may be applied to, who have been relieved from cataract, gutta serena, opthalmia, and inflammations, all dis eases of the eyes and head having been completely eradicated, glasses left off after twenty years' use, and the person rendered imperviou to contagion by the frequent use of this delightful compound of the most wholesome, choice, aromatic, and odoriferous herbs. It is re-_ commended by occulists and medical practitioners for its many vir tues. The high patronage and character it has attained, is a testi monial beyond•suspiei(m. To prevent imposition, ask for GRIM STONE'S EYE SNUFF, manufactured by the inventor, No. 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, and No. 24, King-street, Long-acre, London. COPY OF A LETTER sent to Mr. Grimstone, 39, Broad street, Bloomsbury .—" Dear Sir,—You may make use of my name, for a true fact, in taking your Eye Snuff. I have received such great benefit, that I can see to write without glasses,-which I could not do before I took your Eye Snuff, my eyes being so very weak; they are now perfectly strong ! Many of my poor aged men and women would purchase it in preference to other snuff, but they cannot afford sixpence per ounce, or buy it in the cannister. I re main, Sir, your 's respectfully, H. PLUCKWELL, Governor of the Poor.—Poor-house, Tottenham, Middlesex, January 24, 1834. Sight restored." OBSERVATIONS of the Editor of the " Old England,' Sept. 22, 1833:—" EYE SNUFF.—This is really an extraordinary preparation. Of what it is compounded we know not ; but this we know, that it is wonderfully efficacious, relieving headache and purging the eyes of injurious humours, especially if they are of a serofulous nature. It is also an extremely complaisant companion when toiling over musty books or writings, and tends most power fully to enable the eye to perform, without fail, an unusual quantity of labour." OBSERVATIONS of the Editor of the United Service Gazette, April 19, 1834.—" The advance of civilization, which gives birth to so many new forms of infirmity and disease, brings in its train new discoveries of remedial agents and new applications of science to their virtues. In no case has this remark been more signally verified than in the modern prevalence of near• sightedness, and the new appliances for its relief. Truly, we are a blinking genera tion; every second man glares upon us in the streets through varied shades of blue, green, or amber, but none of these optical preser vatives profess to restore the impaired faculty to the vigour of health.

The progress of the story carries us through scenes of human passion rising into guilt and tragic terror. Then comes the awful catastrophe, that sweeps alike over the innocent and guilty, and buries hope and despair, Christian faith and Pagan superstition, in one com mon sepulchre. The description of this sublime event is in the noblest vein of poetry. The lion who has been kept without food for twenty-four hours to prepare him for the re volting feast in the arena, struck by the common horror, sub sides into panic, and cowers down before his victim ; and the blaspheming Egyptian, who invoked the gods in that fearful moment to abet his atrocities, is severed by the lightnings at the foot of his idol. The incidents by which the devastations of the eruption are shadowed forth are epic in their character and in their treatment. We have not space to render justice to this work, but cannot forbear expressing our admiration of the unity and grandeur of the design, and the almost faultless beauty of the execution.—Atlas. SUBMARINE RESEARCHES.—The Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty have been pleased to grant per mission to Mr. Deane, to renew his exertions to recover the long hidden treasure sunk in the Royal George at Spithead, and he will recommence his going down to the wreck when when the weather assumes a more settled aspect. We also understand Mr. Abbinet proposes to renew his submarine visits to the wreck of the ill-fated Boyne, off Soutbsea Castle. —Portsmouth Herald. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. --Mr. Commis sioner Harris held a Court yesterday morning in his private room to expedite the proceedings of insolvents confined in the several prisons, and to facilitate the cases on the Circuit. It was represented that many insolvents could not proceed without leave : none contained any interest. The Court, on Tuesday, will meet for the despatch of business. The cause list is somewhat heavy. v atism. " A little before the hour appointed for dinner, the Duke of Wellington arrived at the Albion Hotel, and was saluted by a discharge of 17 guns from the harbour. Opposite the hotel were about 200 persons—the majority of them boys, waiting the coming of his Grace. Two or three cheers were given, but they had little of heart in them, and made but a sorry apology for what, no doubt, was intended to be an enthusiastic reception. His Grace was dressed in the Windsor uniform, and wore a star ; we never saw him ap pear in better health. Over him was suspended the banner of Kent, with the appropriate motto "Invicta." The company immediately repaired to the dining-room, which was most tastefully arranged. The decorations were simple, yet elegant. Over the President's chair were placed the royal arms, and a beautiful portrait (by Fowler) of the Princess Victoria—a frequent visiter, and no slight favour- ite at this delightful watering-place, whilst round the room were displayed the banners, crests, and colours *of the members for the county. Covers were laid for 130 per sons, the room not being sufficiently capacious to accom modate a greater number. It was stated that there had been no less than 300 applications for tickets ; but of this we know nothing positively. C. B. COTTON, Esq., of the Convent, Kingsgate, took the Chair in the absence of Sir William Curtis, who was prevented from attending by the sudden death of a near relative. On his right sat the illustrious guest ; and, at the same table, we observed Lord William Montagu (son of the Duke of Manchester), Lieutenant-General Sir Wm. Inglis, K.C.8., Major-General Beevor, John Halcomb, Esq., M.P., the. Rev. W. F. Bayley, Rev. J. F. Salisbury, the Mayor of Sandwich, Rev. W. A. Armstrong, Lieut.- Colonel Boyer, Colonel Mair, Rev. Mr. Hodgson, Rev. H. Harvey, jun., Rev. Dr. Bland, Captain Woolward, R.N., harbour-master ; Boteler, Esq., K.C., Recorder of Sandwich ; F. Percival, Esq. ; Dupre, Esq., and many other respectable individuals. Sir Edward Knatch bull was not presont, being compelled to attend to his duties elsewhere, as Chairman of the East Kent Quarter Sessions. The cloth having been removed, and Non nobis, Domino, sung in a very fine style, the CHAIRMAN proposed " The King, God bless him," which was received with three times three cheers. The national anthem was beautifully given by the professional gentlemen present, the entire company standing, and joining heartily in the chorus. " The health of the Queen " was next proposed, and re ceived with an applause of a much more enthusiastic cha racter than that which attended the preceding toast— warm as it was. Glee—" Our King and Queen." " The Princess Victoria and the Royal Family," three [mes three. Glee, " Hail, Star of Brunswick." The CHAIRMAN then rose and said they were that day honoured by the presence of His Grace the Duke of Wel lington,—(Cheers) —who, with that condescension that ever marked his character, had at once consented to honour ,he town of Ramsgate with his presence.—(Cheers.) If aistorians of acknowledged powers and highly cultivated talents had been unable to give a full illustration of his se; vices—if they had failed in rendering him that full m ee d of praise to which his many eminent services had entitled him, how could he, (the Chairman) with his feeble powers, do justice to the merits of their illustrious and honoured guest ?—(Cheers.) Since the end of the last century up to hat day, his whole life had been devoted to the service and interests of his country as a General and a Statesman— (Great cheering) :—during which time there had been but one succession of victories—each one so glorious in itself, that it was difficult indeed to say to which the preference wa s due—till they came to that crowning victory of all, the glo rious battle of Waterloo, which had given peace to all Europe, which had overthrown the greatest enemy Europe ever had, whose great object and ambition was to harass, and, if possible, to subjugate this country.—(Loud cheers.) But it was not in war alone that his Grace had shone so conspicuously, or rendered. such eminent services to his country.—(Tremendous cheers.) . Let them look to the care with which he watched the interests of the ports—let them look to what he was doing at Dover—to his un ceasing efforts to advance the interests of the whole district —let them, in short, look to the whole tenour of his con duct, and they would invariably find it marked by an un ceasing desire for- the common weal of his country._ (Cheers.) Therefore he trusted they would all cheerfully rise, and drink with such honours as to them it might ap pear to deserve—" The health of Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports."— (The cheering lasted fora long time, and was of the most enthusiastic and ardent character.) The Duke of WELLINGTON rose to return thanks, as follows :—Gentlemen, I was greatly gratified by the honour which you did me, in inviting me to your hospitable feast and, gentlemen, I am grateful for the manner in which your worthy President has proposed to you to drink my health, as well as for the reception which you gave to his proposition. Gentlemen, I consider the honour which you have done me in inviting me to dine with you this day, as a symptom of your certainty, that in case it should be necessary, I would with readiness do (as it is indeed my duty, as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports) everything in my power to promote the interests and advantages of your town.—(Cheers.) But, gentlemen, it gives me the greatest satisfaction to observe that your town is already in that state of prosperity ; its buildings are so extensive and so conveni ent the public derive already so much advantage from a resort to it ; and a residence here is already attended by so many conveniences, that it is scarcely possible for me, with the best endeavours which I can give, to do anything fur ther to promote those advantages.—( Hear, hear.) I have also great satisfaction in observing that you already possess a port from which the public have derived the most exten sive advantages in maritime and warlike operations, during the late war, and from which the public, both commercial and private, still continue to derive every advantage that can result from the combination of convenience and safety. --( Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, while adverting to this part of the subject, I must say that it has given me the most heart-felt satisfaction to see here this day a gallant officer, the head of a body of troops in the service of a sovereign, the ally of this country (Holland), and who has derived not only convenience, but safety, from the shelter of your port*. Gentlemen, I cannot mention that sovereign—a sovereign who, I repeat, is the ally of this country---(Hear, hear) — without saying that I feel for him and his • family the greatest affection. and fin. his virtues the highest respect — (Cheers) —and I can say to you that I have often seen him in situations in which the assistance he rendered to this country was of the highest importance.—(Loud cheers.) I am happy to see that a body of his troops, and a body of his subjects, have derived safety from your port, and that an officer in his service is enjoying your hospitality on this occasion. I sincerely hope that before long I may see those circumstances removed which occasion that description of— of uncomfortable circumstances—for I wont say more, which exist between this country and that to which I have alluded.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen ; I say, then, that I don't regret that it is not in my power—for in fact it is impossible • A Dutch vessel, having troops on board, was driven in. here by a severe gale, after having lost every anchor and cable. Ramsgate harbour saved her from destruction. The com manding officer dined with the company at the Albion. We have heard that the troops _were •convicts, whose sentences were remitted on condition of serving in Batavia. The CHAIRMAN said, in proposing the next toast, " The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Clergy," he would beg to make a very few observations. When, as they knew, the Church was so closely connected with the other esta blished institutions of the country, it behoved them, in such times as the present, to have a man at the head of the esta blishment, of the purest morals, the highest attainments, and the most exemplary character. Therefore, he thought they could not do better than drink the health of such a man.—(Cheers.) But before he did it, he might just ob serve, that with such an Archbishop at the head of such a clergy as they could boast, they might bid defiance to the poisoned shafts of either open or concealed enemies of the Church—(Cheers) —and sincerely did he hope that the Clergy would ever imitate such an example—follow in his path, and walk in his footsteps.—(Drank with great applause.) The Rev. W. F. BAILEY (late Chaplain of the House of Commons), as the senior incumbent present, returned thanks for the kind and enthusiastic manner in which the toast had been proposed and received. The Rev. Speaker pronounced a high eulogium upon the character of the Archbishop, and said that it was a matter for humble gra titude to Providence, that in this hour of its danger and difficulty, there should be placed over the administration of the Church, a man so well able to meet those difficulties, and to combat those dangers ; and he would confidently hope, that under the Divine blessing, his Grace would be enabled successfully, to protect and defend the rights and privileges, discipline, and doctrine, of that Church which he daily honoured by the simplicity of his life—by his various and deep learning—and, above all, by his Christian virtues. —( Applause.) The Duke of WELLINGTON said they were all aware of the many obligations which Ramsgate owed to the late Sir William Curtis, and to his son, the present excellent Baro net. For his own part, he was fully aware of the obliga tions he individually laboured under to him, for having urged his f e ll o w-to w nsmen to invite him to their hospitable board. He felt grateful for it. He should have been most gratified to have seen that worthy Baronet present ; and no one regretted more than he did the calamity which occa sioned his absence. But still they must not forget what they owed to the gentlemen who had filled his situation— an officer of whom he could say much, did he choose to go into his history (Cheers). As Chairman, however, they were under great obligations to him, and he begged, there fore, to propose his health (Cheers). The CHAIRMAN briefly acknowledged the compliment. The CHAIRMAN said their noble guest, in accepting their invitation, had been mindful of the services rendered by the Navy ; for he had purposely appointed that day—because it was the anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar—to meet the inhabitants of Rams g ate. Proud as they were of that victory, they could not but revert to it with regret, for they then lost the greatest naval hero the world ever pro duced—(cheers). " The Army and Navy"—Three times three. The Duke of WELLINGTON considered ho would be quite unworthy of the approbation which had that day been showered upon him, if he did not feel sincere regret for the heavy loss which had befallen the country in the death of the gallant Nelson. The worthy chairman had in no degree over-rated the merits of that great man, or exaggerated the loss they had all suffered at the gallant action of Trafalgar. His opinion had ever been, that nothing was more desirable in the branch of the profession to which he belonged than to emulate the conduct and the services of the navy—(cheers). When young, he looked upon that branch of the national defence, owing to peculiar circumstances, as the one which had attained the highest perfection. Since then it had made further advances, and he always felt it to be his duty as i t was his pleasure, to co-operate with it on every occa sion. He would* say no more of that profession, but, re verting to his own, remark, that if the people of this country were more thoroughly acquainted with the services it had rendered, and the exertions it had made, they would make its members much more happy and comfortable than many of them were at that moment.—(Loud cheers.) If they only knew in detail what several of those officers who then surrounded him had effected, they, would, he was sure, bless the day each one of them was born.--(Cheers.) Other toasts were drank, when his Grace retired at a quarter past ten, and was greeted on his departure with the loudest cheers. We have only to say in conclusion, that the dinner was admirably served, and when off with the Teatest eclat. PUBLIC DINNER TO SIR G. MURRAY. ( Abridged from the Edinburgh Evening Post of Saturday.) Yesterday being the day appointed for the public dinner given to the Right Hon. Sir George Murray, by his con stituents of the county of Perth, in teiiimony of their un diminished respect and esteem for the character and con duct of the Gallant General, the " Fair City" exhibited, early in the forenoon, an unusually gay and animated ap pearance. The streets were crowded with well-dressed people, and vehicles of all descriptions were pouring in from various parts of the country, with gentlemen who purposed to attend this important meeting. In consequence of the great and increasing demand for tickets, the Committee, early in the week, had intended to construct a building for the occasion, as no room in Perth was capable of contain ing the number who had signified their desire to be present ; but this idea was abandoned, from the impossibility of ob taining an appropriate situation for the proposed erection. Upwards of 300 gentlemen were thus necessarily debarred from attending the meeting ; and the unprecedented number of 700—unprecedented in Perth—were accommo dated in the spacious County Hall of the city, to which was added a large lobby, besides a temporary building con nected with the principal room. At five o'clock, the Chairman, Lord Viscount Stormont, entered the Hall, accompanied by Sir George Murray, Sir Patrick Murray, Sir John Oswald, Sir J. Hansel, Dr. Thompson, Sir J. Forbes, Colonel Gilmore, Mr. Forbes, of Callender, Sir Robert Dick, Mr. Graham, of Airth, Mr. J. M. *Kenzie, yr. of Delvine, &c. The list of Stewards comprised the elite of the county. Grace was said by Dr. Thompson. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drank with all the honours, The CHAIRMAN rose and said—Gentlemen, Sir George Murray is not a name that is heard only in this quarter— let any man tell me the spot in this island where his trans cendent talent is not appreciated—his fame has passed to the most distant regions—it has resounded throughout Europe, and is cherished even in our remotest colonies. —(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, in whatever point of view we survey his career, it is beautiful and magnificent ; whether as the right hand man of the first man in Europe, leading on our armies to victory—whether we consider him as one of our purest statesmen, as a true friend to the institutions of the country, and a sincere patriot--(cheers)—or as an affec tionate friend in the walks of private life, our admiration is the same.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, our acquaintance with Sir George Murray is not that of a day ; his life has been devoted to the good of the country, and has been passed in ,its service ; and now re-elected by you to discharge the great and important duties pertaining to the representation of such a county and such a constituency, to whose care could be more worthily confided the manifold interests of so large a constituency ?—(Cheers.) We all remember the last elec tion ; many things occurred during that period, to which I will not at present refer ; but this I will say, without fear of contradiction, that there never was a man returned in a purer manner, or by purer constituents, than my Gallant Friend on my right hand.—(Loud cheers.) Since that election there have been many false rumours put abroad, which obtained credit in certain places ; but I will here state that all such reports were false, scandalous, and without the least shadow of a foundation.—(Cheers.) It had been stated that the tenants had been brought by force to the poll. This had been publicly stated, and as publicly I denounce the statement as false.—(Cheers.) But, if it had been true, I would beg to ask a question. If they had been brought by force to the poll, by what force had this vast number been brought to the dinner ?—(Loud cheers.) Here are men of all classes and of all ranks, whether engaged in manufactures, agriculture, or commerce, all uniting in one purpose—to do honour to the man of their choice, who would be the last man to employ intimi dation, as this constituency would be the last to yield to the influence of bribes or menaces of any description.— (Cheers.) I will say nothing of the merits of the other candidate ; what they are is best known to yourselves, and I leave them there ; but this . I will say,. that this county conferred immortal honour on itself when it rejected the nominee of those who wished to treat it as a nomination lourgh..—(Loud cheers.) You all know that, after the close of the last election, Sir George Murray was invited to attend at dinner with the electors ; that he refused, because it would have delayed his taking his seat in Par liament ; but when we found ourselves denied the honour by these circumstances, we requested to know when it would be convenient to meet his constituents. This is the day—and here we aro met, neither with show nor parade, to give him our honest and humble acknowledgments.— (Loud cheers.) We have neither requested any colleague of his to meet him, wlio might hare turned him out' of office, or undermined him in the confidence of his Sove reign, and who could not shake hands with him at dinner ? —(Cheers.) Neither have we invited a son-in-law to show the difference of opinion which exists between them, and . to traduce the House of Lords.—(Cheers.) Nor have we the hosts to devour the dinner before the guest made his appearance.—(Laughter and cheers.) Such occur rences may have happened ; but it may be merely a float ing idea, and I request that you will not suppose that there are any particular individuals meant.—(Laughter and cheers.) In conclusion, then, fill your glasses to the man of your choice—the man who will maintain the princi ples of our constitution—preserve our institutions from the inroads of - the infidel and revolutionist—to the man who, while he fearlessly applies the knife to the cancer, leaves -what is sound behind.—(Cheers.) I beg to pro pose the health of the Right Hon. Sir Geo. Murray, mem ber for the county.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) Sir GEORGE MURRAY rose to return thanks, when the cheering was renewed with redoubled enthusiasm ; after it had subsided, he spoke nearly as follows :—Gentlemen, you drank my health as your representative in Parliament—as your representative freely chosen by you, and sent into the House of Commons freely to think, freely to speak, freely to vote, and freely to act, to the best of his judgment, for the public good.—(Cheers.) These are the conditions which mark the connexion betwixt me and the constituency of the county of Perth.—(Cheers.) The only other condi tions are to act consistently with the constitution, with the public welfare, and with my own honour. Allusion has been made by the Noble Chairman to calumnies, justly termed false, on the last election ; I here repel with contempt all imputations cast upon my constituents.—(Cheers.) While these calumnies were circulated in the county, they met with a prompt denial ; but these calumnies were not con fined to this county ; the sacred right of petitioning was perverted to the base purpose of spreading these false and scandalous reports in Parliament.—(Loud cheers.) I hold in my hand one of these petitions, stating that the people were intimidated by Tory landlords, and prevented from voting as they pleased.—(Laughter.) Gentlemen, the Lord Chancellor is said to have lately stood up in a large assembly, and, bolding up his hands, solemnly pronounced that they were clean. I cannot suppose that a person in his high station, of his vast attainments, and so great a statesman, should not be able to make that declaration ; but there is not the humblest individual who voted for me at the last election, whose hands are not as pure as those of the Lord Chancellor.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, you perhaps expected me to allude to certain calumnies circu lated against myself ; this I will not do, because there is no weapon which I despise more, and none of which any man need be less afraid than the weapon of coarse abuse. (Cheers.) Experience teaches that it is frequently more dangerous to the user than (be abused—that it is a weapon that recoils on the head a its employer. Gentlemen, I now think it proper to allude to some measures which have been passed during the last session of Parliament Few of these were directly interesting to Scotland. The great measure of the session was the Eglish Poor Law Bill ; with this measure Scotland has no direct connection, except in so far as it may serve as a beacon and a warning on this momentous sub ject. Every one admits that there were great evils in the country, owing to the system of Poor Laws—great and grievous evils, pressing equally on rich and poor in that country ; but the subject is one so surrounded with difficul ties that it requires the greatest care, the fullest delibera tion, to supply an amendment. It is frequently one of the most difficult undertakings to supply a remedy, even to the most glaring defects, and always doubtful whether that re medy will be advantageous or not. If, however, I could have with propriety taken any share in the discussion of that measure, it would have been to protest against the principle of the centralization system—(Loud cheers)--a system of the most dangerous tendency, because the power being placed in a remote part, grievances cannot be so readily or properly redressed when they occur away from the source of. power. I would.. have protested against such a system upon those general principles which have distinguished our Constitution. There was another objection I would have offered, viz., to that clause which was directed with undue severity towards the weaker sex.—(Long continued cheer ing.) The only other measure on which I am called to make remarks, is the Bill brought forward by Mr. Wood for opening the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge to the Dissenters of England.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I am aware that muckinisrepresentat ion has gone abroad about this question. On' no question have the feelings of party been more excited ' • and although on a question where religious feelingkare,involvetl, we should try to cast aside all party feelings, yet we find, that of all others these questions are most mixed up with party violence ; and no one should be more cautious in anything than in hastily casting con demnation on another.—(Loud cheers.) It has been in dustriously stated that this measure was interesting to Scotland. Of this I entertain very great doubts. What grievance has been suffered by the Dissenters of Scot land from the privileges of the English Universities ? How many Dissenters in the county of Perth have been disappointed of receiving admission within their walls ? Are there twenty or ten ? Are there five, or even one individual connected with the county of Perth, who, in consequence of religious scruples has been prevented from following out his career, by being excluded from Oxford and Cambridge ? Why should we wish that the doors of these institutions should be thrown open, when we possess among ourselves so many Universities, which are celebrated not only in Britain, but throughout the civilised world, and to which no restriction exists ?—(Cheers.) If it is a grievance to Scotland, that the Universities in England should admit none but under certain conditions, it is a grievance of which I never heard one complain ; although, if it were a real grievance, I should be most anxious to interfere to remove the cause. But, gentlemen, we are not called upon by any crying case of grievance to burst open the gates of these Universities, and to alarm the Church of England. It is not because of one isolated case, or even two, that we are to rush into violent measures, in the hope of applying a re medy.—(Cheers.) But, gentlemen, I think that this is a measure of such deep importance, that it becomes the Go vernment to take the matter into their own hands, and duly weighing everything, and conciliating where conci liation is necessary, to bring in a Bill, which, with the weight possessed by the Government, I have no doubt would be successful. But here we have an individual, Mr. Wood, who brings in a measure on his own respon sibility, against which I felt bound to vote on the second reading, because, in the first place, the Bill was unin telligible even to himself—(Laughter and cheers)—Mr. Wood not being able to explain his own meaning ; and, secondly, it was directly contradictory in many of its most important clauses—so much so, that Mr. Stanley and Lord Althorp, who voted for the second reading, declared that it was impossible to pass it in the shape it then appeared in— (Cheers) —and that the Bill never again made its appear ance ; but when presented in another form, divested of its absurdities and contradictions, it received my approbation. —(Cheers.) Gentlemen, with regard to the measure itself, it is not so easy a matter to legislate as might be supposed. The first difficulty is, from the students being domiciliated in College—a difficulty not felt with us, as none of our students live within the walls of our Universities.—(Cheers.) But being domiciliated in England, there is a necessity that they should be supplied with religious instruction, and con sequently the attendance on divine service forms a part of their regulations, and also religious instruction according to the doctrines of the Church of England, is communi cated to those educated in these great seminaries. I feel convinced that those whom I am now addressing do not advocate the separation of religious from intellectual educa tion. I am sure I am not addressing men who are desirous of engrafting on the young mind all those shoots of temporal knowledge which would make them great and wise in this I would not pledge myself to any particular measure, for highly as I value the honour of representing you: in Parliament, I value my independence still higher.— (Loud cheers.) And as to pledging myself to Mr. Wood's 811, the thing was never heard of.—(Cheers.) I have always been the sincere and warm friend, and frequently the advocate of toleration ; but though the friend of toleration, it does not follow that I am to accompany Lord John Russell in all his flirtation with the Eng lish Dissenters, any more than that, because I voted for the Catholic Relief Bill, I am to become one of O'Connell's tail, or a partner in the intrigues which Lord Althorp and Mr. Littleton carried on with that dan gerous agitator.—(Loud cheers.) But this I will say, that though not pledged, I will never act a subservient part.— (Loud cheers.) Sir George next entered into an explana tion of his political creed, and the general principles which he entertained on the constitution, and in particular the hereditary peerage, which, being aloof from popular excite ment, was necessary to control that power, which, in its pe riodical fevers, would be apt to overthrow all the institu tions of the country. In support of his views, Sir George cited the histories of ancient Athens and modern Florence, both of which merged from a democracy into a despotism— the inevitable result when the powers of the Constitution are not duly balanced. It had become the fashion (conti nued Sir George) to decry the connection of Church and State, and to tell us that there should be no established ministers or endowed churches. In Holy Writ, we read that the Jews often suffered chastisement, because they disobeyed the commands of their inspired Ma g istrates : and shall we escape punishment if we abandon that which has been given us by God himself ?—(Loud cheers.) With re spect to the present Government, I entertain for its head the most perfect respect, I have always cherished the most friendly feelings towards him. I believe Lord Melbourne to be sincerely desirous for the public good; but when I speak of the Administration, I divest myself of all private considerations, and am obliged to say, I do not feel that degree of confidence in the Government which I would desire to entertain towards his Majesty's Ministers—(Loud cheers)—and that because they have adopted and acted upon that dangerous principle—a principle dangerous to all Go vernments, namely the principle of agitation.—(Long and continued cheers.) Gentlemen, we all know that every Government should have regard to the spirit of the age ; but when men offer themselves to the country, they should show that they have the capacity to guide the spirit of the age to the interests of the State. What would be thought' of a pilot, if having embarked, when told to steer for his des tination, he should throw aside the helm, and leave the ship to the mercy of the winds and the waves—(Cheers)—or if going by a public conveyance, the driver were to cast down the reins, and leave the vehicle to go wherever the horses chose? And so of these statesmen, whose only guide is the spirit of age. But, gentlemen, what is, or where is the spirit of the age ? Was it with Mr. Stanley when he left the Administration, or did it remain with Earl Grey ? Was it with Lord Althorp, when he deserted his colleagues, or did it return with him to the Government ? Was the spirit of the age in the company of Lord Brougham at Inverness, or did it not leave him at Aberdeen ? Is the spirit of the age travelling with Earl Durham from Camperdown House to Dundee, or was it with Bailie Christie at that famous meeting ?—(Loud laughter, and long and continued cheers.) When grave statesmen tell us they are swayed by a great principle, they should tell us where it is to be found. (Cheers.) Another reason why I have no confidence in this Administration is, because I see its first men, those holding the gravest and most responsible situations in the country, moving about in the character of itinerant agita tors—(Cheers)—who are in the habit of professing them selves to be the kind and respectful servants of their Royal master, and coming into a promiscuous assemblage, to give an account of their stewardship. These servants seem to forget their master—these statesmen to forget their place ; they appear to have no real attachment to their master, but seem as if seeking by these arts to raise up a power superior to that which they serve. (Loud cheers.) It is right that Members of Parliament should meet their constituents— but the Ministers of the King are not so circumstanced. Who are the supporters of the present Administration ? They are men of upright intenions, but of dangerous opi nions ; and if there be any one who is in the habit of prac tising the dangerous art of deluding the people—any patron of sedition in our colonies—any open or insidious foe of the Constitution—if there be any man that sighs for title or for emolument—if there be any man who would break to pieces the frame-work of society, that he might take up a. better position than under the present state of things, those are the men who support the present government ; these are the men who applaud when a blow is aimed at any of our institutions—(cheers)—and yet these are the men whom the Ministers court, and at the same time dread. Now, I will ask, would the constituency of the county of Perth wish their representative to attach himself to these men ?—(cries of " No, no," from all parts of the room) — men who seek to raise up a foreign flag, the emblem of tur bulence and blood, rather than rally round the British en sign, which never failed to create respect in peace, and terror in war--(cheers.) Gentlemen, I have torn aside the veil, if there were any veil, from my motives, and you are to judge whether you have done, right in sending me to parliament—(Loud and long repeated acclamations). A great many other toasts were proposed and drunk, and the meeting separated, expressing the greatest satisfaction with all the proceedings. Commercial credit and confidence have sustained a further shock during the last week in the successive failure of several houses of note in London and elsewhere. One Lon don house in the woollen trade has stopped under liabilities variously reported at from 60,0001. to 90,0001., in which Leeds and the neighbouring manufacturing places are some what deeply interested. The effect of such a state of things upon our markets, as may be readily conceived, is very de pressing. The demand for goods has received a sudden shock. The holders of heavy stocks have but a dreary winter prospect before them, and the contrast between the general activity of this time last year, when the fever of speculation was at its height, and the languid debility of the present mo ment, when the natural consequences of such over-excitement are becoming fully developed, forces itself upon the attention of every commercial man.—Leeds Intelligencer. THE BIRD OF PARADISE.—This elegant creature has a light, playful, and graceful manner, with an arch and impudent look ; dances about when a visitor approaches the cage, and seems delighted at being made an object of admira tion : its notes are very peculiar, resembling the cawing of the raven, but its tones are by far more varied. During four months of the year, from May to August, it moults. It washes itself regularly twice daily, and after having performed its ab lutions, throws its delicate feathers up nearly over the head, the quills of which feathers have a peculiar structure, so as to enable the bird to effect its object. Its food, during confine ment, is boiled rice, mixed up with soft egg, together with plantains, and living insects of the grasshopper tribe ; these insects, when thrown to him, the bird contrives to ,catch in its beak with great celerity ; it will eat insects in a living state, but will not touch them when dead. I observed the bird, pre vious to eating a grasshopper, given him in an entire or unmu tilated state, place the insect upon the perch, keeti it firmly fixed with the claws, and, divesting it of the legs, wings, &c., devour it with the head always placed first. The servant who attends upon him to clean the cage, give him food, &c. strips off the legs, wings, &G., of the insects wheis alive, giving them to the bird as fast as he can devour them. It rarely alights upon the ground, and so proud is the creature of its elegant dress, that it never permits a soil to remain upon it, and it may frequently be seen spreading out its wings and feathers, and regarding its splendid self in every direction, to observe whe ther the whole of its plumage is in an unsullied condition.— Bennett's Wanderings.
