Simpkin and Marshall. This Periodical, though excellent in its kind, is so heavy 'la weighed down with a load of law and legislative critiques, that were we believers in the transmigration of 7 1118, we should have some suspicions of the spirit of old ere, himself being at work about it. At all events, it n ot improved in buoyancy since the decease of that "n able, but as often unintelligible, jurist. % The Present number opens with a good article on " Ben ba'a's Deont o l ogy, " t h e b est o f a ll hi s wor k s ; per h a p s th e e st work on the science of morality (for so Bentham terms II!re eve r Published.

If all do for being rich while I am alive, is walking about with at oil ee y On me when I am dead, I'll clench the bargain with you ar e t ~YhY then, Peter, your saying that just makes me think you lt e ,.. ru e as big a fool as I took you for, and fit only to eat you will But come, be after catching one tail of my wi g , and ",pet:u see the treasures that I spent my life in gatherin g .' fan a blerkthd• as he was desired, and the instant he had the old t la rge :e wig in his fist, he found they were transported into There was no light except the broad gleams of the nioonavtel;at Poured in through the top so as to illuminate the entire plac'e. ci :` Peter looked around him—there was in one place gold and goi_',7aeandleticks heaped together—in another there were cups of theu_ ray s tightof diamonds in them that glistened like stars, and sent again, the; moon flashin g into all corners of the cave—there ' here was a wall of silver dollars, that was raised from the floor to the very roof ; but what Peter most of all wondered at, was to see that the floor in every part, except where he stood, was covered over with gold, while, in iron chain cages that were six and seven feet high, the gold was stored up, and crammed together as close as it could be packed. " ' What an honest decent miser you would be,' said Peter, his eyes dazzling with delight as he looked on the riches he saw around him, ' what a real good natured ugly old fellow you would be, if you gave me all this.' " ' It is all yours, Peter, upon one condition—that when you die, you will have to do as I am now doomed to do, for all eternity.' " ' And what is that, my comfortable old chap?' asked Peter. " Scarcely had Peter time to ask the question, when there was a loud sound all through the cavern, and a voice roared out One— begin.' Peter looked at the old man, and saw his limbs trembling with fright. He saw that he was standing on a heap of gold—its yellow colour darkened, blackened, then fizzed beneath his feet, and at last it became glowing hot. The old man raised one foot, then another—they did not burn, but the heat that was in the gold had reached them, and they looked transparent from the fire, as your closed fingers will do if you hold them between your eyes and a lighted candle ! (4 I must drink,' said the old man hastily, ' I must drink to cool me.' " Peter saw him take up one of the gorgeous goblets he had be fore admired. The instant the old man's fingers touched it, it trickled down in burning drops upon his clothes, and they smoked, and changed colour as if vitriol were poured upon them. The old man grasped another—it melted away. He caught a third ;it had less of gold in its composition than the others—it appeared to be of glass, and was clear as water in his hand. The old man saw that the dollars had sunk down into bright stream, over which a thick steam was gathering—the cup was dipped into it, and Peter could perceive it was hot as boiling lead—the old man drank off the fiery draught—it added to his agonies—his body was becoming of the same colour with his legs, and still the miser drank deeper of the silver. Each moment added to the fierceness of the heat, and the intensity of his agonies. At length from repeated draughts he seemed to become drunk with torture—he fell prostrate on the burning gold, and the moment he did so the iron nets , in which the heaps o gold were pent up, burst by their heat, and they covered up, as they fell, the body of the old man. A shriek of maniacal pain came from the wretch. Peter could perceive through the red heat of the gold, the still greater heat of the old man's body, which was now a dead white from the extreme force of the fire which seemed to be collected in it. From the midst of the fire he heard the old man saying to him, ' Peter, all this wealth you can have, on condition that you suffer for eternity that which is the lot of the miser.'

BRITISH PLANTATION SUGAR.—The market continues in a firm state, and notwithstanding little business being entered into, still the quotations are well maintained, particularly for fine Sugars Near '2,500 hhds. were disposed of privately, and 158 hhds. Barba does by public sale, from 575. 6d. to 595. 6d., being full prices. For home use the deliveries are about the same as last year. There is a falling off in the imports of 9,000 hhds., and the stock is less by about 2,000 hhds. EAST INDIA SUGAR.—Last Friday 2,636 bags of Mauritius fetched 495. to 575., for good brown to fine yellow ; on Tuesday 5,330 bags more were put up, but were withdrawn after a few of the first lots were scratched, at Is. higher than the current price. The East India Company's Sale consisting of 6,300 bags Bengal, realized an advance of 6d., from 255. 6d. to 30s. for low to good white. FOREIGN SUGAR.-On Friday last on public sale, of 449 boxes white, 549 boxes yellow Havannah, and 21 chests yellow Rio-the former fetched 30s. 6d. to 315., for good strong; the yellows from 245. 6d. to 265., for low to good, being full prices for the latter. The Rios brought 225. 6d. to 235. 160 boxes yellow Havanpahs were sold privately at 255. to 255. 6d., and two cargoes of Havannah afloat, with 2,400 boxes yellow, at 265., and 300 white at 305., both for Antwerp. REFINED SUGAR.-31s. 6d. is offered for fine crashed, but the refiners hold back, and ask 325., at which quotation some lots were disposed of. There is no variation in grocery sorts. COFFEE. -British Plantation Jamaica and Berbica are from 2s. to 4s. higher. The inferior are, however, 3s. lower, but slightly improved yesterday, and now are but ls. lower. Between 1,300 and 1,400 casks, barrels and bags of Jamaica, St. Lucia, Dominica, &c., were sold. Good and fine Jamaica fetched 90s. to 105 s. 6d., middling to good Berbice 80s. to Ms. ; good to fine ordinary 68s. to 675., and fine ordinary and low middling St. Lucia, 71s. to 725. 6d. ; middling Demerara, 78s. to 85s. ; good and fine ordi nary, 60s. to 70s. There is a dull market for foreign and East India. Rum.-There is a pretty good demand for Rum, with rather brisker business, at good prices. Proof Leewards are withdrawn at 2s. RICE.-Of Bengal 1,400 bags were brought forward, and went off rather briskly, at from 10s. 6d. to 13s. for low to good white. SPICES.-The call for pepper has somewhat declined, and little has been done privately. 2;800 bags were offered, of which near 2,000 bags were disposed of ; ord. Sumatra, very dusty, at 3d. mid. half heavy Malabar, 31. d. to 3 3 / 4 d.; and fine heavy (shot kind) 3 3 / 4 d. to 3%d. Cassia and Green is ls. to 2s. per cwt. higher this week. TORACCO.-The business in Virginia, throughout the past month, for the export qualities, has not been to a great extent, having been chiefly for small portions for immediate consumption, for Marseilles, Genoa, Leghorn, Bremen, Holland, and Norway ; and had the quotations been depressed, orders to a great amount might have been executed, particularly to the former destinations ; but the stock being so very small of leaf, particularly in those de scriptions suitable for the trade alluded to, for the purpose of segars, and the recent advices from America, bringing intelligence of the decrease in the crop in comparison with that of last year, added to the advanced quotations there, has made the holders keep back, and, in a few cases, higher quotations have been ob tained, chiefly, however, for the best descriptions. The pur chases for the former ports were for mid. light leafy dry Tobacco, part tainted, at 4 1 % to 4%; and for the North, of ord. and part heated, at 3 1 A to 3%; mid. dark Tobacco at 4 1 % to 4 1 / 2 , and for good sd. to 5%. The holders seem sanguine that from the small ness of the stock of good useful qualities, that the present price will be maintained, if not a more advanced one. INDIGO.-The sale of the East India Company's Indigo now amounts to 5,100 chests, after which 3,700 are to be put upon the same plan as the Company. The amount of the whole sale, it is thought, will be about 10,000 chests. LAC DYE.-There is a pretty fair demand for home consump tion and exportation ; and for mid. qualities the prices have rather improved, and anything offered in the market is freely taken at cur rent prices by speculators. SALTPETRE.-There is a pretty considerable call for this article, at an improvement of from ls. to ls. 6d. per cwt. ; but the exten sive importations from new places, together with arge shipments from India, more than expected, will tend to retard any present improvement ; and by some it is expected that a great depreciation in the quotations will take place. Corrox.-Sales have taken place of Cotton this morning, which have gone off briskly. About 2,600 bales of Surats were put up and fetched 6%d. to 6 3 / 4 d. per lb. ; and the fine at 7 1 / 3 d. to 7 1 / 4 d. per lb. Madras (350 bales) sold at 7d. to 9%d. ;_ and the very fine at ICkl. to load. per lb. A small quantity of Egyptian Cot tons has this week been sold at 15 3 %d. per lb., duty paid.

This attractive and fashionable watering place, so much ad mired for the purity df its air and genteel company, is filling very fast. No less than 13 families arrived on the Ist July. Among the latest arrivals are Lady Campbell, Rev. C. Brad ley and family, Mr. Tilliard and family, Mr. Gaitskill and family, Mrs. Edmond Williams and family, Mrs. Brown and family, Mr. Urquhart and family, Mr. Anderson and family, Dr. Tyrrell and family, Mr. Wynn Williams and family, Mr. Armstrong and Family, Mr. Green and family, Mr. Barnet and Family, Mr. Blackburn and family, Mr. Hoar and family, Mrs. Magnay and family, Mr. and Mrs. Pricket, Mr. Clark, Mrs. Hunt, Miss Rastal, Mr. Stevens, Mrs. Scott, Miss Bu chan, Miss Hetheringtons, Mr. and Mrs. Pegg, Mr. and Mrs. Dovor, Mr. Robert Brown, &c.

The marriage is expected to take place immediately ; and the bride is said, in addition to personal attractions, to possess very substantial charms.— Kendal Mercury. To-morrow evening will be made up the accounts of the present quarter's Revenue. On the same day the fol lowing dividends will become due :—The Three per Cent. Consols, the Four per Cents., the Three per Cents. of 1726, South Sea Three and a Half per Cents., South Sea New Three per Cents., and the Imperial Three per Cents. The dividends will be in course of payment next week, and the amount will be about seven millions. Mr. Arnold's new Theatre is finished, and just about to be opened, under the title of " The Lyceum and English Opera House." It is a very elegant structure, and does great credit to the different artists concerned in its erec tion and embellishment. Some changes have been an nounced in the customary regulations, the first of which relates to the commencement of the performances. They are in fu ture to commence at eight o'clock instead of seven, and to finish before twelve. There is to be no half-price ; but this has been the practice of the same management for several years back. A balcony projects beyond the dress circle in the new Theatre containing several seats, for which the charge is to be higher than the box price, as the following scale will show :—To the public boxes, ss. ; to the pit, 3s. ; to the gallery, 2s. ; the private boxes and family boxes, from two to four guineas ; to the balcony seats and orchestra, 6s. MR. O'CONNELL AND MR. STEELE.—We have heard from good authority, that a reconciliation has taken place between our distinguished countrymen, O'Connell. and Steele. We trust that Ireland will again experience the be nefit resulting from their united exertions. The sincere friends of our country are so limited, that we cannot endure the seces sion of any of those who have been tried and found valuable in her service. We congratulate our fellow-citizens on the cheer ing prospect of again beholding " honest Tom Steele" at their head, leading them on in their constitutional battle, with that sterling fidelity of purpose which has ever marked his care er. —Limerick Star. IMPORTANT SALE OF LANDED PROPERTY IN THE NORTH OF IRELAND.-We perceive that the valuable and extensive estate of the late Lord De Clifford, in the county of Down (comprising upwards of 7,000 acres of land, with a pre sent rental of 7,500/. a year, besides great prospective advan tages), which, according to an announcement that has fre quently appeared in our advertising columns, was to have been sold by auction, at Dublin, on the 15th instant, has been dis posed of by private contract. We believe this sale falls little short in amount of the sum at which the celebrated Crowland estate was sold, which, if we recollect right, exceeded a quar ter of a million sterling. Mr. W. W. Simpson, of Bucklers bury, was the agent in effecting both these sales, the largest which have taken place since the famous Ormond estate in Yorkshire. A wealthy Irish commoner is said to be the pur chaser of the Downpatrick estate. We take the following from the Annotateur de Bou logne-sur-Mer :—" The celebrated Paganini, who disem barked here a few days ago, is the hero of rather a scandalous adventure, the following details of which are, we have reason to believe, strictly true :—Paganini, it appears, had entered into a very advantageous agreement, for him at least, with a Mr. W—, of London. For his performances he was to receive a fixed and considerable sum per night, no matter what the re ceipts might be. This bargain, so profitable to Paganini, proved ruinous to Mr. W—, and, to add to his misfortunes, the celebrated virtuoso, taking advantage of his intimacy with the family of Mr. W—, won the consent of his daughter, a girl of 16 or 17, not exactly to run away with him, but to run away after him to the Continent. Soon after the enamoured musician had left London, the young lady stole away from her father's house, and set out for Boulogne, but her flight being quickly denounced, her father took the same direction, and, as it would appear, with still greater celerity, though they say Love has wings, for on the fair fugitive stepping from the packet on the quay at Boulogne, she was received into her father's arms instead of into those of the love-sick Paganini, and in place of the rosy urchin Cupid to welcome her to the Gallic shore, and lead her to her lover, she saw a stern-looking Commissary of Police, who insisted upon her returning to London with her father, in spite of the noisy remonstrances of an agent of Paganini, who spoke much, and in good set terms of violation, personal liberty, land of freedom, &c." EARTHQUAKE IN JAVA.—THE HAGUE, JUNE 29.—. The accounts received from Java, to the 26th of Feb ruary, contain nothing of general interest ; but one of the papers gives some particulars of the earthquake in the n ight of the 24th of November last:—" This earthquake which was felt in Java and elsewhere, especially in Sumatra, is ascribed in a report from Palambang to an eruption of the Volcano Bocket Kaba, in Palambang. Besides the damage done by repeated shocks of the earthquake, the effects of an inundation coming from that mountain were most distressing. Between the two principal 'peaks of the mountain there was a lake, called Telaga Ketjiel, which, in consequence of the shocks of the earthquake, inundated the neighbouring dis tricts. The inundation was increased by the overflowing of the river Ager Dingien, the channel of which was choked up by masses of earth and trunks of trees. The hamlet of Tal bang Ager Lang was covered with water to the depth of 21 feet, and after the inundation there remained a bed of mud seven feet deep. Thirty-six inhabitants of the hamlet pe rished. The total number of victims in the districts was 90. Mount Kaba is 50 leagues from Palambang, and yet the water of the great river Moessie was not fit to drink for several weeks. An account from Kodal states, that on the 2d of Feb ruary, during a torrent of rain, part of the mountain. of Telo Mojo, in the district of Ngassinan, on the frontiers of Ans barawa, had sunk down, by which twelve habitations were buried, and thirty-seven persons lost their lives."—Dutch Paper DINNER to Mr. SPRING RICE at CAMBRIDGE, to CELEBRATE his RETURN to PARLIAMENT. A grand dinner was given on Wednesday evening, in the large room of the Hoop Tavern, Cambridge, by the indepen. dent electors of that town, to the Right Hon. Thomas Spring Rice, with the two-fold view of complimenting him on his recent return to represent that town in Parliament, and of commemorating the triumph which they so nobly achieved for themselves and the cause of independence, in securing that return—a return the more triumphant, when considered in connexion with the great array of influence and intimidation which had been marshalled against them by many of the authorities of the University, and by the powerful Tory interest of the town. From an early hour of the day, expectation was on the " tip-toe," in an anxious spirit looking out for the Right Hon. Gentleman ; and at two o'clock the distant shouts of a party of friends who had gone to meet him announced his approach to the town, which instantly became animated from end to end ; and, as it were, the bustling scene of such another election as that which they were now about to commemorate. At two o'clock the cheering became more loud and distinct ; and the Right Hon. Gentleman, surrounded by his warm escort of " volunteers," entered the town, accompanied by Mrs. Rice and their daughters, the Misses Rice, two highly interesting young ladies. The cheering, as the distinguished party passed through the streets, was enthusiastic ; and ban ners, composed of the Right Hon. Gentleman's colours, waved over their heads as they passed towards their destina tion, the Bull Inn, from the worthy proprietor of which Mr. Rice received the most sanguine support at his election. The room in which the dinner was given was most taste fully decorated, and the coup d'oeil which it presented was highly attractive. The devices were numerous and tastefully. arranged. At the extreme end, the initials of Mr. Rice, at tached to the wall, and composed of laurel leaves, interspersed with roses, had a pretty effect, which was greatly heightened by festoonings of laurel leaves wreathing beautifully over them, and by laurel stars on either side. The next and most prominently attractive object in the room w as a picture, in oil, representing Mr. Rice, and his colleague Mr. Pryme, which was placed centrally on one of the side walls, and beneath which the chairman, Julian Skime, Esq., took his place. The covers of the first course having been all placed, Mr. Rice, accompanied by his excellent colleague Mr. Pryme, Mr. Julian Skrine, the Messrs. Gunning, and seve ral of the independent professors of the University, entered the room, and were long, loudly, and enthusiastically cheered by the electors, the band at the same time play ing, in a most spirited manner, " See, the conquering hero comes." Besides the Right Honourable and distin guished guest Mr. Rice, who sat on the left of the chair man, there were present amongst the company, on the right of the chair, Professor Henslow (of the University), the Rev. Mr. Romilly (Registrar of the University), the Rev. Mr. Currie, H. Gunning, Esq. (Bedel of the Uni versity), Ebenezer Foster, Esq., Pryme, jun., Esq., W. Eden, Esq., J. Eden, Esq., Hadley, Esq., derson, Esq., F. M. Randall, Esq., F. Fisher, Esq., Eming ton Harris, Esq., &c. &c. On the left were G. Pryme, Esq., M. P., Rev. Dr. Lamb (Master of Corpus Christi College), Rev. G. A. Browne, W. F. Coe, Esq., W. G. Ashton, Esq., Charles Humfrey, Esq., F. J. Gunning, Esq., S. A. Rice, Esq., James Nutter, Esq., C. Lestorgeon, Esq., &c. On the removal of the cloth, the CHAIRMAN rose, and the company having charged their glasses, gave " The King," three times three, which was drunk with enthusiasm, the drums rolling in with the hurras. Tune—" God save the King !" The CHAIRMAN then rose and proposed " The health of her Majesty the Queen, and the rest of the Royal Family," which was drunk with three times three, and great applause. The CHAIRMAN then rose, and said—Gentlemen, I am now about to propose a toast which requires no preface : it is "The health of our distinguished guest, the Right Honourable Thomas Spring Rice."—( Great and long-continued cheering, amidst which Mr. Rice rose, and the cheering was increased to an almost deafening degree—the enthusiasm equalling any demonstration of the kind ever before witnessed.) As soon as order was restored, Mr. RICE spoke to the following effect :—Mr. Chairman, and Gentlemen Electors of the Town of Cambridge, there are moments in which the very intenseness of our whole emotions may render it difficult, if not impossible, to convey to others the sentiments which influence and sway our hearts ; and I dread that the very great enthusiaim of mine, and the exube rance of the gratitude which I owe to you, may render it so to me to express my feelings towards you on the present occasion.— ( Hear, hear.) We are now met under no ordinary cir cumstances, we are now met under no ordinary triumph ; and however embarrassed I may feel in talking of myself, I feel that there can be no embarrassment in vindicating the principles of the triumph which we are now met to celebrate. (Hear, and cheers.) The event is not to be considered as one of contest between the honourable individual who has failed, and myself ; but it is a contest of two principles which have long agitated and engrossed the minds of the people of England.—( Hear, hear, and great cheering.) On the late occasion, the two opposing principles were mar shalled against each other. The banners of the opposing party were raised : every nerve was strained—every advantage was taken; and the whole cry—the by-gone watch-words of " Church and State," and " the Church is in danger !" were renewed. —( Great cheering.) Before I proceed further, I will take the liberty of representing, that however the principles of both parties may have been set forth, there is no one of the Tory party who is more entitled to respect, none more worthy, and none more elevated in his profession, than my honourable opponent, Sir Edward Sugden.—( Applause.) There 4 none who would more adequately represent the Tory party—( Hear, hear) —and he was the person chosen by them on that account. He was their champion in the field ; and they, therefore, had now no right to deny it, or complain of him.—( Hear, hear.) I cannot think, for a moment, of comparing myself with that hon. individual. He is a gentleman whom I should much re spect, even if it had fallen to his lot to wave a whole grove of laurels over me—( Cheers and laughter, which are explained by the circumstance of Sir Edward Sugden having, after his defeat, complained in his address to his supporters, that Mr. Rice had waved a laurel branch over him, which was the only occurrence in the election which he could not forgive.) The Tories could net have got any man as their champion, calcu lated to such a nicety to support their objects, and to contest their cause. — ( Hear, hear .) Having disposed of the champion, I will now ask—had we a fair field ?—( General cries of " No, no, no !") Was there not a formidable array of Tory influence brought forward against us? Influence of the grossest nature —influence which gave the Tory interest peculiar advantages. I will assume, for the sake of argument, first, that the two candidates were fairly matched ; and next, which is not the fact, that the arena was a free, fair, and impartial one, ( Hear, hear, hear.) All the address of their antagonists was brought into play against them, with a remarkable degree of cunning,. and with a view of battering down the principles of the existing Government, of which I have the honour of being a member ; and if ever there was an inducement for men to act, we had it. (Hear, hear.) I will again say, that the Tories had well chosen their man ; and I will go on to assume that the electors had fair ground (and in saying that I make a large concession) , but we fought bravely ; and that the electors of the town had an opportunity of recording their independence, is to me—who have been all my life a Whig--a source of great pride—to me, who to the abstract duties of a Whig, may add— the more practical d ut i es o f a R e f ormer —( H ear , an d ap plause)—it is to me, I repeat it, a source of great pride and gratification that the electors of Cambridge proved themselves, in the eyes of the people of England, worthy of the elective franchise which had been conferred upon them, in the con sistent support which they have given me in connexion with my principles ; and it is also a matter of pride and consolation to me that they have in their decisions given approval to those sentiments, which the Whigs out of office have advo cated, a nd which the Whigs in office have carried into effect.—( Great cheering.) I make these concessions for the sake of argument, but they are concessions which every man knows not to be true.--( Hear, hear.) If we had " open lists and no favour ;"—( Cheers)—if every man had been able to appear in his true colours—( Renewed cheers)—and to give his vote in conformity to his conscience, I say that the voice of the electors would be "a voice of thunder"—( Cheers)—and that the men of Cambridge would show that they would trust the men who arc the friends of the people ; and that they would not trust those who have ever been the enemies of their rights.—(Much cheering). I may, by way of parenthesis, notice some statements which have appeared in some of the public prints, in connexion with the last election, in which the author went so far as to proceed to names. Those statements charged me with having gained my election by means of bribery, and went on in effect to say, " We understand that the Right Hon. Mr. Spring Rice succeeded in gaining his election by means of bribery and corruption.--( Laughter.) We will not now proceed to proof, leaving the question to be inquired into by a reformed House of Commons, the must fitting tribunal for such a subject."—( Much laughter.) For myself, con tinued the Right Honourable Gentleman, I dare my accusers to the proof.--( Hear, hear.) The question, indeed, might be made the subject of inquiry elsewhere—it might be made the subject of a proceeding in a court of law ; but I de cline making it so ; and I readily adopt this course, rather than from any personal or temporary notice, affecting me, in stitute proceedings which might endanger a principle which I hold to be vital to the independence of the State.--( Much cheering.) I am incapable of seeking the vote of any man by such means—( Hear, hear)—and if I were capable, I should seek so me o th er cons tit uenc y on w hi c h t o practise it.—( Hear, hear.) I now rest the matter on proof, and ask, is the town of Cambridge of so little account that, if the parties who made this charge can prove their assertions, they would not come forward to do so ?—( Hear, hear, hear.) There was a lurking maliciousness in the report ; and whatever way the matter may turn out, it is perfectly clear that they would found a beautiful line of argument upon it. If they should go on and succeed, they would say they had gained a great point ; but if not suc cessful, they would say, " Oh, the thing has been inquired into before a Reformed House of Commons, which every one knows is a partial tribunal."—( Much laughter.) I admire the freedom and independence of the public press ; but I fear my accusers not, and trust to my own character.--( Great cheering.) The present is the second occasion which I have had the honour of appearing before you as your Representative.--( Hear, hear.) On the first occasion, I appeared amongst you on the invita tion of Mr. Headley, Mr. Foster, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Gunning, Mr. Skrine, and several other gentlemen ; and I now come before you on my having been elevated to a high situation in his Majesty's Government. ( Cheers.) I am proud, Gentle men, to see that the expression has called forth your applause ( Hear, hear)—and however ready I was to fight the enemy on the first return, that first return was nothing in import ance, either as fixing the election of an individual or a prin ciple, when . compared with the present.—( Cheers.) As one of the highest compliments that could be paid to a woman was to ask " how much the wife is dearer than the bride ;" the question here is, " how much the representative is dearer to you than the candidate ?"—( Hear, hear, and cheers. ) But it is said by the Tories, that the people are now getting tired of reform—(Laughter)—and they begin to care nothing about it ; the auditory which I now have the honour of addressing— so much more numerous even than the former—shows clearly that a change has taken place in public opinion ; but then that change is all against the Tories.—(Laughter.) Then, again, it is said, " But your majority was small !" Consider ing the intersections which marked the longitude and latitude of the localities, the majority was not to be surprised at ; and it should be recollected, that in no instance did I try to bring forward an elector by any such undue or base influence as had been resorted to against me.—( Hear, hear.) To the glorious reserve who were ready to come up and poll for me, if necessary, I give rny heartf e lt thanks.—( Cheers, pro duced by the impression that the Right Hon. Gentleman alluded to the University printers.) I cannot (the Right Hon. Gentleman proceeded) but allude to the forty-five dis franchised voters of Barnwell—( Hear, hear, hear)—men who had been shamefully deprived of their right by an indi, vidual named White, of whom, as he is now no more, I will not speak harshly, but I must say that he performed that act with a view of pleasing the corporation under which he served, and thereby benefitting his own views.—( Hear, bear.) I must also say that, notwithstanding the fact of the Charles-street Club having had their agents in the field, laden with money, my election was secured, and the " duffer" was obliged to return again to London,—( Cheers and loud laughter.) I say boldly, that the cause of liberal opinions—the cause of the people of England—never stood before with a more impene trable front to attack, come from what quarter it might, than it did at the late election.—( Hear, and cheers.) I alluded be fore, and I will do so again, with caution, to the influence which had been used against me ; and I do now assure you that there is nothing more deeply impressed on my heart than the political thanks which I owe to the University for its pro ceedings, in connection with the election.—( Laughter.) I do, however, also assure you that I am bound in affection to the University, which brings back to my mind the fondest re collections of my by-gone days.--( Hear, hear.) The opi nions I advocated through life were those I imbibed in the University of Cambridge. This reminds me of a passage in that beautiful writer Wordsworth, who, in designating the envy in which a man was held for his talents, stated that people lost sight of the original source whence he had de rived them ;—and so with me, whatever I have done through life to deserve public favour I owe to the University—( Ap plause)—and, therefore, whatever observations I may make in connection with it, I make with feelings of the utmost respect.--( Hear, hear.) It is a proud source of gratification to me, notwithstanding the exercise of some bad influence by authorities in the University, that I was supported and cheered in the struggle in which I was engaged by sonic of the highest, the ablest, the best, and most respectable men in the University.—(Long continued cheering.) There are many points which I would most willingly yield to the Uni versity, but there are many other points which I would not surrender one tittle of to that institution--(Cheering)--and, in particular, I would not surrender to it the independence of the town of Cambridge.—( Renewed and long-continued cheer ing.) Let the electors say to those who would use their power over them to influence their votes, " We are prepared to make sacrifices to you in many things, but we will never consent to sacrifice our judgment to )ou in matters concerning our rights."—(" Bravo !" and loud cheers.) The electors of Cambridge, by this course, would be laying down a principle which all men must esteem, and which the very men who would be base enough to tempt them to violate, and who would aespise them in their hearts should they violate, could not but admire—( Applause)—and if all men would lay down such axioms by which to govern themselves, and say, " our votes are our own : our respect we owe to you ;" then the country would soon be free, and intimidation would be at an end.—( Long continued cheering.) I hope much that gen tlemen will not now consider me as arguing for the future. No, gentlemen, I am here to-day, but I may net be here to morrow : and in this point you should regard your repre sentatives as perennial plants, and watch over them steadily and closely.—( Hear, hear, and applause.) You should, then, take very good care that your names be not omitted in the registry—the time is now drawing near for registering yourselves as voters—and you should also take particular care that the name of no individual be registered improperly.— ( Hear.) And under that management of things, if ten thousand Sugdens should come down—if they should come down in shoals and myriads of shoals, as thick and as desperate as the sabres at Waterloo, you may set them at defiance.—( Enthusiastic cheering.) I entreat you to pay your best attention to the sub ject,otherwise the Tories will give you cause to repent--( A voice, "they never shall.") I advise you not to give them any advantage over you, and to go at once about strengthening your own force.---( Hear, hear.) God forbid, gentlemen, that I should give you this advice from any fear or motives respect ing my own situation--( Hear, hear)--a situation in which I can never desire to be placed, unless by your honest and in dependent wishes and support.—( Cheers.) I fear I am occu pying too much of your time.--( General cries of " No, no.") I should, however, say something respecting the situation in which I have the honour to appear before you..--( Hear, hear.) I assure you, gentlemen, that the situation to which I allude, the Colonial Secretaryship, was not one of my own seeking, but was conferred on me by my sovereign.—( Hear, hear.) I might be better placed had I been continued in the situation from which I was elevated--( Cries of " No, no")—with the duties of which I was acquainted ; duties, I will add—and I do so with feelings of pride—in the discharge of which I gave public satisfaction.—( Cheers, and cries of " Hear, hear.") That situation. too, conferred upon me in the middle of the session, might, perhaps, be thought the more objection able, but when I saw the old banners of reform raised—when I saw the standard of our rights and liberties once more ele vated—( Great cheering)—l could not but undertake the office (Hear, hear)—and now I stand before you in the rank of a field-officer—(Much cheering and laughter)--and as ready to do my duty—with more power to do it well—as I ever was when unconnected with office.—( Renewed cheers.) In com ing amongst you, Gentlemen, on a recent occasion, I came as a Minister of the Crown--( Hear, hear)--and as a Member of Earl Grey's Government—(Much cheering)—by some desig nated as an enemy to the Church and the other institutions of the country.—(Laughter.) I hold, Gentlemen, that none of you will say that I in any single instance used the influence which I might derive from my station in connexion with my election..—( Universal cries of " No, no, no.") I canvassed the electors supported by a Dissenter on one side, and a Churchman on the other.—( Hear, hear ; cries of " Bravo," and cheers)—and I spoke the same language and opinions alike to Churchmen and Dissenters, in the course of my can vass. Those opinions were founded on my attachment to the Established Church, and my love of justice respecting the rights of the Dissenters—( Continued cheering)—and to the former, I made a general declaration that all that was just, all that was remediable of practical evil—and I spoke this, I repeat it, from my attachment to the Established Church—shall be obviated as affects the Dis senters—( Applause)—while to the latter I said that I would go all just lengths in seeking a redress of their grievances— ( Hear, hear)—but I would never consent to any measure having for its object the abolition of the Church.—(Renewed applause.) Exclusion of the Dissenters from privileges, and a continuation of the abuses of the Church establishment, I contend are, instead of being a source of force (as may, by some, be supposed), a source of weakness to that Establish ment—( Cheers, and cries of " hear, hear.") We have now no Tory canvasser in the room ; but if there was, he perhaps would say—" Sir, you are a very astute little fellow (which, in vernacular language, means a very contriving, clever one), and don't mean what you say." However, I would argue those opinions hand to hand with him (and I disdain not the opinions of any man) ; and there is not a man of the whole constituency to whom I would not afford every opportunity of obtaining from me my full and undisguished opinions on the subject. Hear, hear ; and applause.) I am sorry that I am not in my place in the House to-night, as a measure in which the Dissenters are interested was expected to come on; but, then, on that point, we are so sure of a sweeping majority— ( Cheers)—that my constituents will not have cause to com plain of my absence—( Hear)—and it will not be said " the Right Hon. the Member for Cambridge was not in his place."—( Cheers, and laugh.) I hold that the right of every man to think and act as he likes respecting his political rights is the best security we can have for a reformed consti tuency, and I thank the electors for myself, and in the name of the great cause which we have at issue.—( Hear, hear.) I thank them also in the name of the cause of Corporate Reform. (Immense cheering, produced by the promised reform of the Cambridge Corporation, in which the electors feel a deep in terest.) If there is amongst you one who is attached to the Mayor—" Metre," I believe, was the old name—" Maximus" is not necessary.—( Laughter.) If there is one amongst you who is attached to the name of Common Council, and who wish them to sway your interest—if there is one amongst you who is attached to Rutland Clubs—( A laugh)—l thank him in the name of corporate reform--( A laugh)—and when cor porate reform will come before Parliament, I assure you, gen tlemen, that you will find in me, a Minister of the Crown, as steady, and as uncompromising a friend and supporter as I ever was before I entered office.—( Cheers.) You know your rights, Gentlemen, and knowing them, should I hap pen not to perform my duty, you will call on me—as you have a right to do—for an explanation of my conduct; and should I not give you satisfaction, you, gentlemen will have the remedy in your own hands.—( Hear, hear, hear, and cries of " bravo.") In my future conduct you will have more frequent opportunities of witnessing tests of my Parliamentary acts than you hitherto have had. With respect to my powers, in judging of me I ask your indul gence ; but with respect to my principles, I ask it not--( Hear, hear, and cheers) —and I hope most sincerely that nothing will ever occur to estrange you from me.--( Hear, hear.) - I have been called to a high station, it is true ; but what better station could there be for the exercise of honest intentions, and the extension of great popular good than the colonies ? ( Hear, hear, and cheers.) It is delightful to any man to con template, in casting his eye over the globe, a small speck like England possessed of such wide extension of territory, and such greatness of power.--( Cheers.) It is like the heart in the human frame, conveying to its most distant settlements its powers, its industry, its intelligence, and its greatness.— ( Renewed and long-continued cheering.) If, in the endea vour to discharge the duties, I should approach the comple tion of my hopes—nay, more, the inspiration of them—l will deem it sufficient. Professor Slyght, in his lectures, beauti fully illustrated the destruction of the library which had risen in the East. He compared it to the breaking up of some great image of gold, by which it was circulated, and dif fused much good. The colonies I consider to be similarly situated ; and, without breaking of them up, under proper management, likely to be productive of great and general benefits to the community.—( Hear, and cheers.) I thank you, gentleman, for the picture which you have showed me, and for the confidence you have reposed in me. I feel deeply the responsibility of the duties which I have taken upon my self, and which I owe to the public ; and I do assure you gen tlemen, electors of Cambridge, that I shall endeavour to dis charge the trust faithfully towards you, and towards our com mon country; and if you will permit me the pleasure, I will conclude with proposing the " Independant electors of Cam. bridge, and prosperity to them." The Right Hon. Gentle man then sat down amidst loud and enthusiastic cheering, on which the band struck up " Hearts of Oak." The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and then proposed the " health of Mr. Pryme." Mr. PRYME, in acknowledging the compliment that had been paid him, alluded to the change which had recently taken place in the government, and expressed his opinion that that change was for the better. Mr. RICE then proposed the " healths of the Chairman and the other members of the Committee," of whose kind ex ertions he spoke at considerable length, and to whom he ex pressed his gratitude. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " Dr. Lamb andthe Univers sity of Cambridge," which was drunk with great enthusiasm. Dr. LAMB, Master of Corpus Christi College, expressed his thanks, and observed, that so much had been complained of with regard to the University of Cambridge, that he felt com pelled to say a few words on the subject. He did not stand there to defend any of the undue influence which had been used in connexion with the election—(Bravo)—and he would say, that a ny man who could attempt to force the conscience of another, could never possess independence himself. He despised any individual who would truckle to the opinions of his fellow-man in a cause of this kind. During the election a cry was raised that the Church was in danger. He had no doubt that that cry had been used for another motive. ( Hear, hear.) He was a minister of the Church, and was it likely that he would support any party or measure calculated to endanger the Church ?—( Cheers.) There was at that time a set of men in the Church who thought that there should be a monopoly in religion.—( Cheers and laughter.) When those men cried out that the Church was in danger, they meant by that cry the revenues of the Church--( A laugh)—and when they cried out " danger," they meant a more equal distribution of those revenues. The whole body of the people and the Government had a right, if they thought proper, to make an equal distribution of those revenues for the public service.— ( Cheers.) The Church was in no danger except from its own members and its own abuses. It had been placed in danger by former Ministers.—(Hear, hear.) The Reverend Doctor said the electors could not have chosen a better man as their representative than Mr. Rice, and concluded by pro posing " Civil and Religious Liberty."—( Loud cheers.) Mr. HUMFREY then proposed " The health of his Majesty's Ministers," and _ . _ Mr. RICE, in returning thanks, said that Government in tended to bring forward all those measures to which they were pledged, and carry out the principles of " Peace, Retrench ment, and Reform." Professor HENSLOW, in a very able speech, proposed " The progress of Education and Science ;" and argued that the re form which was now progressing was attributable to the spread of education and science. Among the other toasts were—." The old Reformers of Cambridge," " The 45 disfranchised Electors of Barnwell," " The Ladies of Cambridge," " Corporation Reform," " The Professional Gentlemen who had given their services gratu itously on this occasion ;" in connexion with which Mr. Howell, Mr. Gunning, sen., Dr. Brown, Mr. F. Gunning, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Ashton, &c., addressed the company. The utmost conviviality prevailed throughout the evening, and the principal portion of the company left the room about eleven o'clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL' S. JULY STAKES (MONDAY NEXT.) This race possesses very little interest, and holds out no induce. ments to " betters round ;" the field is evidently bad, or Kate Kearney, with such indifferent public recommendations, would scarcely be backed at 3to 1. The prices yesterday were -3 to 1 agst Mr. Pettit's Kate Kearney (taken) 8 to 1 agst Sir M. Wood's Aspasia colt (taken) 8 to 1 agst Mr. Greatrex's Martha filly. 9to 1 agst Mr. Chifney's Pigmy colt (taken) LIVERPOOL ST. LEGER. 3 to 1 agst Sir J.

Glencoe has again become first favourite, Colwick being full half a point behind him; but there was not much done on either. Marpessa came into the betting, and, at 10 to 1 was back to win the best part of a thousand pounds. Glaucus was backed freely at the same price, and left off third favourite. Nonsense sprung two points, but at the closing offers had no friends. Some outsiders were backed, and the betting generally, without being so heavy u on Monday, was of some importance.

A few days since a man went up to the toll col lector at the Creek-bridge and said he wished to pass on to Deptford, but being told that he must pay a Id., replied that he thought it rather hard to pay for walking : the collector, however, refused to let him pass without the money being paid. " Well," said he, " I suppose if you won't let me walk over without paying, you won't charge me for swimming over." On being assured that he was at liberty to pass in that direction free, he grew himself into the water with his clothes on, swam across, and ;quietly pursued his journey.— Greenwich Gazette. On Sunday afternoon William Spears, carpenter, a member of the carpenters' union in this town, was buried in the old church-yard. About 600 unionists followed the corpse in procession, with black and white rosettes on their left breasts. The band of the Ist Dragoons was playing on the Steyne the same afternoon, and just as the procession came down St. J a mes's-street they struck up " Ca ira" the celebrated French revolutionary aid;;,but on the procession reaching the enclosure the music ceased.—Brighton Guardian.
