May 9, 1831. We have received, by express, the Paris Papers, dated yesterday, the illoniteur contains a long and somewhat angry defence of the KING and his Mi nisters for their conduct respecting the " decoration of July," and all the other Papers are more or less taken up with discussing the propriety of the Minis terial interference. For our own part we cannot help thinking that the conduct of the KING has been very ill-judged and worse advised. Indeed, we are of opinion that Louts PHILIP will ere long have reason to repent his rather over Royal proceedings, w hi c h are by no means in accordance with the spirit of the age, and far less in unison with the " movement" which produced the revolution of July, and made his MAJESTY " King of the FRENCH." LOUIS is too apt to forget that he owes more to the Nation than the Nation to him. The heroes of July them selves conquered those emblems which have been de creed by the people to be commemorative of their valour—and the KING therefore arrogate?, too much in demanding to bestow them as marks of Royal favour. But his impudence has provoked its just reward—a refuial by " the heroes of July" to receive that which the KING had no 'right to give! The following are extracts : (From the Gazette de France.) CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 11.-New executions have taken place here since the last post. The Vice-Admiral, Tahir Pacha, was strangled a few days since. They say that he was implicated in a conspiracy recently discovered. The fleet recently fitted out is destined partly for the coasts of Albania, and the rest will sail for Alexandria and Syria. The flame of revolt has extended into Syria, and Babylon and Bagdad arc in a similar state to Albania. Regular troops daily leave here for Macedonia and Asia. BERLIN, APRIL 23.—W e learn from positive com mercial intelligence, that the Russian Government ha opened negotiations with the rich house of Strelitz, at St. Petersburgh, for raising a loan. The latest private letters from Wars aw g i ve t h e l oss o f the Poles in the last engagement with the Russians at 1,200 men, and mention at the same time that this de. feat will not influence materially the grand operations. From the reports from the Rus,ian head-quarters, the corps d'armee commanded by General Diebitsch is esti mated at 45,000 men. .47. ' 1 ' 1 4% 4 47 - 0,1 bg LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 101. We are given to understand that his MAJESTY'S intended visit to Portsmouth early in June is for the present postponed, without any time being fixed. Despatches have been received at the Foreign-office this morning, from Sweden, France, and Holland, We have just received the following communica tion from Cambridge, which we request our readers to peruse with attention : TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—Much as I regret the result of the Cambridge election, I can but lament that you and other Editors, equally ignorant of University affairs in general, and of this election in particular, should send forth to the world what is most unquestionably untrue, namely, that the Anti- Reform Candidates were returned by the Clergy. If you will take the trouble to look at a Cambridge Calendar, you will see that little more than one-third of the members of the Senate are Clergymen ; and if at the publication of the poll on Wednesday you will examine the votes, you will find, as I have reason to know is the case, that the majority of voters for Goulburn and Peel were laymen. I wish your readers to know what is the intention of Ministers with Tespect to the entire Bill. Lord Palmer ston expressly declared to many of his voters, in the Senate-house, that the cry of " The Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," had been raised by their greatest enemies ; and that several points, and in particular the 101. rental franchise, were quite open to any decision to which the House might think fit to come. It was this which made me, as well as many others, besides being Your humble servant, A VOTER FOR PALMERSTON AND CAVENDISH. On this communication, we have one or two re marks to make. The writer asserts that it is most unquestionably untrue that the Anti-Reform Candi dates were returned by the Clergy, for he has reason to know that the majori y of their voters were lay men. In reply to this statement, we republish, from The Sun of yesterday, an authentic list, extracted from a morning contemporary, of the number of votes given for all the four University Candidates, by which it will be seen, that it was the Clergy who supported and returned PEEL and GOULBURN, while the majority of the laymen were in favour of PAL MERSTON and CAVENDISH. Clergy. Laity. Total. Goulburn 570 236 s , Peel Cavendish Palmerston 309 301 610 --- It is evident from this list that the Anti-Reformers • would have signally failed, had not their ricketty cause been propped up by the influence of the Clergy, to whom, therefore, the dii l grace of their return is wholly to be attributed. The Church, however, will gain little by its triumph. The people are indignant that an establishment, to which they pay such vast sums, should have been the first to set them an example of dis obedience to the Sovereign and his Government. They are also maddened at the idea that henceforth in cases of emergency they must look for no coun tenance, no support, from the Clergy, who, judging from their present conduct, will always side with that faction which shows itself most disposed to oppress the people. With regard to our Corre spondent's statement of Lord PALIKERSTON'S decla ration on the subject of the 101. franchise, we are convinced he is as much in error here as in his re mark upon the votes of the Clergy. The Noble Lord could never have so committed himself. What! state that the franchise was open to any decision to which the House might think fit to come, after Lord GREY in the Upper, and Lord ALTHoRp in the Lower House, bad expressly declared that they would not allow of the slightest alteration in the principle of the Bill, on which their very political ex istence depended ? Impossible. Lord PAL➢tER STON could never have given utterance to an opinion so wholly at variance with the recorded sentiments of the heads of the Cabinet. The ten pound fran chise is the main prop and pillar of the Bill, remove this, or raise the qualification, and the whole measure would instantly bleak down. Besides, the unanimous cry of the Reformers at every county—city—town and borough election is, " the whole Bill and nothing but the Bill ;" for this they fight, this they have been taught to expect, and this they will have. We have given publicity to our Cortespondent's statement, solely for the pur pose of convincing him, and all who may happen to think with him, that they are labouring under a grievous delusion, and that the sooner they dismiss it from their minds the better. One word more. Our Correspondent shows himself nervously anxious to serve the Church ; pray, what reply will he, or can he, make to the statement put forth by Mr. HARVEY at the Essex election, that dispatches had been for warded on Saturday niklit to the various clergymen throughout the county, requesting them to employ th e pulpit as a place for issuing proclamations in favour of the Tory Candidate Colonel TYRELL? What reply, we repeat, will our Correspondent mak to this statement ? None at all. It is wholly inde. fensible. We cannot even conceive a grosser viola. tion of all the decencies of religion, than this proposi tion, on the part of the Ultras, to turn the temple of the living God into a Forum for political con- troversy. In Worcestershire, as elsewhere, the cause of Re form is triumphant. Colonel LYGON, the Ultra- Tory Candidate, is just where he should be on the poll, that is to say, at the bottom. In Dublin, the stood cause bids fair to ensure a glorious victory. The LORD MAYOR and Mr. PERRIN ere 142 a-head of the Anti-Reform Candidates. For further part:" culars we refer our readers to the election accounts, which will be found in another column. (From the Courier Francais.) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE )--LISBON. APRIL 23. Since the departure of M. Cassas the Miguelite authorities have not taken any measures of severity against the French remaining here. The Eagle corvette, which is still in the Tagus, suffices to protect their persons and property. But, deprived of the opportunity of venting his fury against the French, Don Miguel turns his vengeance on the Portuguese, and the most severe orders have been given for the closing of the coffee-houses, against forming groups .n the streets, &c. Don Miguel is said to have writ. to his uncle, Ferdinand, demanding an asylum in Spain in case of a revolt., which is considered inevitable. He terminates his application by requesting of his uncle to place at his disposal a body of troops to protect his retreat. A report is current that Government have resolved to arm several gun-boats, and to place them at the entrance of the Tagus, to defend the capital against the French or English fleets should hostilities commence. The King of Spain, it is said, has avowed his intention of making cause with his nephew. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)—" MADRID, APRIL 28.—We learn from Tudella that the Constitutional Guerillas, which coming from Arragon, had passed a few days since the Ebro by Vattierra, having been closely fol lowed by the troops directed against them by the Viceroy of Navarre, and not being able to recross the river, the forces of Arragon having shut up the passage, had thrown themselves into the mountains of Castilla de Sandia Abarea, where they intended to disperse. This guerilla force was estimated at 250 men." (From the Courier de la Moselle.) METZ, MAY 3.—A few days since 400 Prussians of the garrison of Lunennurg made a sortie upon Eich, and carried off the -Belgian flag fixed upon the tree of liberty. The inhabitants immediately assembled, however, and re pulsed the Prussians back to Lunenburg. The Duke of Brunswick passed through Bayonne, on the 30th April, on his way to Madrid. A letter received yesterday from Toulouse, announces that a person of good credit coming from Spain, had an nounced that an insurrection had broken out in Madrid, and that the Ministers would he compelled to quit the capital to avoid the fury of the people. It will be seen by the German Papers, that Ge neral DWERNICKI is prosecuting his enterprising career in Volhynia, notwithstanding all the ma noeuvres of the Russians. BELO RABE, APRIL 21.—The Pacha of Scutari, whose army now amounts to 40,000 men, has issued a prod mation, in which he announces his plan to restore the ancient order of things, and on the occasion of it exhorts those under him to observe the strictest order and good conduct towards those who take no part in the affairs of the war, and especially recommend, them to respect pro perty, and forbids, with threats of the severest chastise ment, all persons to offer any violence, or even to detain the couriers of Foreign Powers, of the mails, or commer cial messengers. It is affirmed th it he has directed his march towards Bitoglia, and has sent an invitation to the Grand Vizier to have a personal interview, which is not likely to take place, as both parties have good reasons for distrust. The Grand Vizier is making preparations to march to Sophia, where he intends to join all the Boyars who have been sent to levy troops. It is doubted, how ever, whether he will collect a considerable army, as all flock to join the insurgents, and even some of the Ayans have followed this example. FRONTIERS OF AUSTRIA, APRIL 28.—The Austrian contingent to the army of the Confederation is completely equipped ; it consists of 95,000 men, 80 batteries of ar tillery, and four sets of pontoons. It is said that the Aus trian Government has signified to the French Ambassador iu Vienna, that it has acceded to the request of Charles X., to be allowed to reside at Gratz. LEMBERG, APRIL 22.—After the unsuccessful attempt made on the 18th by General Dwernicki on the Russian position (protected by woods and ditches), on the right bank of the Styr, south of Chrynik, the Poles retired be• hind the Styr to the heights in the rear of Boremel, where they remained on the 19th, and by their advantageous position hindered the Russians from advancing over the dam, and taking a position on the left bank of the Styr. While the Russians, in consequence of the direction which Dwernicki had taken i n hi s first passage over the Styr to Dubno were occupied in protectin g th e road leading from Boremel to the latter town, Dw ern i c ki turned aside pro ceeded up the river, and on the 20th i n the morning crossed again to the - right bank at B erestecko. On the 21st be marched by way of Radziwilow (where he arrived at eight in the morning, at th e head of 4,000 men) towards Krzemeniec, where the vanguard of this corps thought to arrive in the evenin g of that day. This place is said to be occupied by no more than a de tachment of Russian dragoons, under Colonel Wransel. It After the Poles had thus le f t Boremel the Russians cros se d the Styr there, and likewise marched u p th e river to B e _ ristecko, where they arrive d at one in the af ternoon of the 20th, shortly after the Pole s had p assed thro ugh, and ie s p a o i s d t themselvese t d hatG e General Dwernicki,i n commonsbeforebelri behind that left town.

BERLIN, MAY 1.-It is said that the Russian main army is now advancing, with great superiority of force, against the Polish army, but that it has to contend with very great difficulties for its subsistence. It has five thousand waggons employed in conveying pro isions. Reports from the Lithuanian frontier say, that General Fricken, who had marched from Milan and Kowno with four thousand men, had succeeded in joining the guards in the province of Augustowo, and had wholly quelled the insurrection in that province. ST. PETERSBURGH, AFRIL 23.—An Imperial ukase commands the merchants of Moscow, as well as other Russian merchants who are indebted to manufacturers or other inhabitants of the kingdom of Poland, to deliver the sums which they owe to the Provincial Governments. The latter are to give receipts for the money which is to be deposited in the public offices, till a future general settlement of accounts. It is officially announced that the cholera has wholly ceased in the colonies in South Russia. COPENHAGEN, APRIL 30.—The nomination of the officers who are to march with the contingent, took place on Monday. KONIGSBURG, APRIL 28.—Letters from Warsaw of the 21st say, that the Austrian Count Lebezeltern had arrived, there, and lodged in the Royal palace; it was thought he would open a negotiation. The Ambassadors of Prussia and England were hourly expected there to join Count Lebezeltern in effecting an amicable arrangement of the dif ferences between Russia and Poland. General Muffling is spoken of as the Prussian Ambassador. The Polish army is said to amount now to 100,000 men. BERLIN, May 4.—We have no news to-day from the theatre of war. Our Government has sent several phy sicians to Warsaw to give an account of the salutary state of that city. The restrictions under which passports have hitherto been given to physicians going to Warsaw are now removed. A quarantine is now established at Strzalknowo, in the G'and Duchy of Posen. The great mortality in Warsaw -is to be ascribed not to cholera but to typhus, the former having appeared only in the mildest form. A traveller who has lately visited the kingdom of Poland saw every where the greatest zeal, and active mili tary preparations, in consequence of which the army is likely soon to receive reinforcements to the amount of 50,000 men. him, as the action of the 18th seems to have convinced him that be is not a match for Dwernicki, whose judi cious manoeuvres prove his enterprisiug spirit and hie talents. VIENNA, APRIL 28.—Four per Cent., 70i; 29th, 701—Bank Shares, 28th, 996 ; 29th, 1002. At a late hour this afternoon we received the Hamburg Reporter to the 6th inst. The following are extracts : HAMBURG, MAY 6. —No advises from Warsaw of a later date than those given in our last numhwr have as yet been received. The situation of General Dwernicki in Volhynia continues still to be wrapped up in mystery, and .everal contradictory reports on the subject have been in circulation. The Prussian State Gazette of May 4 contains the •`ollowing semi-official Russian Bulletin:— " Minsk, April 27. "Field Marshal Count Diebitsch having broken up from Siedlic on the 24th, and having several times offered butte t , I the Poles, the latter, without accepting it, have re treated towards Praga. A few unimportant skirmishes took place on the occasion, and since the 26th the Field- Marshal's head-quarters have been at Minsk." The above affords in itself a complete contradiction to a report in the Breslau Gazette of a defeat sustained by the Poles at Kaluszyn, on the 25th ult. BORIEN HALLE, FOUR O'CLOCIL—The trade in Wheat has been dull during the week. Rye is also heavy. During the last eight days of April 187 cargoes of corn passed through the Sound, of which SS were bound to British, 44 to Dutch, and 44 to Swedish, Danish, or Nor wegian ports. . _ Weight Rix dollars.

Not even a ship letter, and the Hatifourg steamer still remains due. By accounts received in the city this morning from Dublin, up to Saturday night, it appears that at the close of the poll of the first day, the two Reform candidates, the Lord Mayor and Mr. Perrin (King's Counsel), had a majority of 142 over the Anti-Reform candidates, and no doubt was entertained of their success. This is considered very important, as Dublin had heretofore for many years returned Members hostile to Reform, and the success of the reformers in the metropolis of Ireland would, of course, give the tone, as in this country, to the rest of the kingdom. The Bank of Ireland are said (and the determination reflects great credit on them) to have given permissio n to the persons in their employment, to exercise their discre tion as to the candidates for whom they would vote.

This rise is not owing to any political news, the whole house having over-sold themselves, and are endeavouring to get back their stock, of which there is none in the market, consequently the Bulls make them pay dear for it.

The Hamburg steamer has at length arrived. Private letters from Berlin, by the Hamburg steamer, state that there had been three days' fighting, and the brave Poles had been defeated, with the loss of eight thousand prisoners, and two thousand killed. It also appears that General Dwernicki has escaped the Russians, and has been juined by nine thousand men, previous to which his army consisted of twelve thousand men. The accounts received by the Hamburg steamer are not of the interesting nature we were led to expect it only confirms the retreat of the Polish army towards Warsaw, where, no doubt, severe fighting will soon take place. It is a prudent step of the Polish Commander-in-Chief to retire on his resources, and not to suffer himself to be cut off from Warsaw. Consols, which got up in the early part of the morning to 533- for the account, have receded to 82?-,. Some bulls, seing a good profit, have realized and pocketed the cash.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) These Sessions commenced to-day before the Chairman (F. CONST, Esq.) and a hrnch of Ma2istrates. James Ramis was indicted for an attempt to commit a rape upon a Mrs. Hutchinson. From her evidence it appeared that she was a married woman, and a lodger in the house of the prisoner. O: day, in April last, he asked her to go with him to the Court of Requests, as a witness for him ; in coming home they had some ale in a public-house, after leaving it the prisoner said he had another house to call at before going home; she accompanied him. They went up stairs into a room where a woman was sitting, but she left the room immediately, when the prisoner took off her bonnet and pushed her on the bed, but she resisted ; and on a woman coming to the door for money she ran down stairs and came away. In her cross-examination by Mr. Prtrwrs, she swore that she did not hear any deposition read over to her before the Magistrate, nor did she sign any. The Learned Counsel cautioned her, and again put the question when she admitted both. In several other things she contradicted herself. The husband was called, but was not allowed to give any evidence, as all be knew was only hearsay. Mr. PHlLurs, for the prisoner, in a speech of great force, said he thought he had an easy task, for he coulit almost leave the case as it was, as no person could possibly believe a word that came from the prosecutrix ; but he would call a witness who would prove that on the night of the day when the offence was said to have been com mitted, the prosecutrix took tea with the prisoner and his wife, and borrowed 2s. of him, and nothing was said of this charge. He then called Susan Williams, who proved these things. He also called the servant in the house in question, and said he would spare her modesty, but would ask her was she a servant in a house of ill-lame in April? She proved that she saw both the prosecutrix and the prisoner some time in April, in a room together ; the woman took off her bonnet, and kissed the prisoner before she left the room. At this stage the CHAIRMAN stopped the case, and put it to the Jury whether they wanted more evidence ? The Jury immediately acquitted the prisoner. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. BRUSSELS, MAY 6.—The opinion of the nation, and especialy of the journals, is gradually becoming favour able to Prince Leopold, and the drama which has pre sented so many striking scenes appears drawing to a happy close. The Catholics approve the choice of the Prince, because they place confidence in his liberality and justice, and the Liberals hail with much joy the probable arrival of a man who is known as the friend of liberty, and who will protect it at Brussels as he would have protected it at Athens, if infurmountable obstacles had not prevented his acceptance of the Greek throne. The acceptance by Prince Leopold of our throne would undoubtedly be a means of consolidating the union be tween Great Britain and France. The Prince has not only reason for attachment to England, but is the per sonal friend of Louis Philippe and the Orleans family; and there can be no doubt that his election would be hailed with joy by this family, as is prov e d b y t h e aver sion which the French republicans entertain to it. The opponents of the Casimir-Perier Ministry are doing all they can to frustrate the desired object, but we hope that the joint interest of England, France, and Germany, will succeed in bringing it about. To realize our hopes, Bel gium waits for one thing alone , the acceptance of the Prince ; and it asks if the hope of pacificating Europe, of consolidating the union of good Governments, and even of settine them the example of a liberal and progressiv e administration, which may render perpetually happy th e descendants of the subjects of Maria Theresa, is not of itself a sufficient inducement to a generous and philan. thropic mind ? • NEW PA RLIAMENT.

Far. Apt. !4%-; 1 2 .. a -E f 4 2. ro MIDDLESEX ELECTION.--(THIS This morning, at an early hour, the road leading to Brentford was thronged by equestrians of all denomina tions, 'in order to accompany the two Members, Gearae Byng and Joseph Hume, Esqrs., to the election at Brent ford. Colours and !tanner: were hoisted from several houses on the line of road, and the hells of the several churches rang merrily. As early as eight o'clock in the morning a vast number of the electors on horseback and in carriages assembled in. St. James's•square, wh ere they were marshalled into a procession. At about half-past eight they were joined by the two Members, who rode together in a carriage and four, attended by the Sheriffs in their carriages. The moment they made their appear ance the electors and the populace present gave a treme e _ Anus huzzaing, which lasted several minutes, and the cries of " Byng and flume for ever" were raised in every direction. Several banners, with divers inscriptions upon them, were displayed from the carriage windows, and many were borne by the horsemen. The procession moved off at a gentle trot down Pall-mall, up St. James's_ street into Piccadilly, where the populace received it with immense cheering, which attended it the whole of the way. At Kensington another troop of equestrians joined the cavalcade, which had by this time greatly increased, and accompanied them the whole of the way. At Turn ham-green and Hammersmith another body of horsemen from Brentford and its neighbourhood, who had been awaiting the arrival of the procession, fell in with it, and the inhabitants received the Members with the i;reatest enthusiasm. Precis-ly at ten o'clock the cavalcade en tered the town, which, considering there being no contest, presented a very considerable degree of bustle. Every window was filled with ladies, who, as the Members passed, received them by waving of handkerchiefs, whilst the crowds in the streets rent the air with their acclamations. The procession proceeded at a slow pace around the tawn, after which the Sheriffs and Messrs. Bvng and Huts re paired to Brentford Butts, where the hustings were erected. Upon the two Members alighting from their carriage they were again enthusiastic dly received by the populace, who raised three distinct cheers. The Sheriffs having orene d the business of the Jay, and the tt , ual , routine of business gone through, the awe. rvlembers were. again returned to represent the county of 'Middlesex. Mr. Byng was addressing the electors when our informant left. The whole proceedings did not occupy an hour. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAYj. COURT OF CHANCERY. The LORD CHANCELLOR, accompanied by f or d HURST and the Lord CHIEF JUSTICE Of. the Court of Common Pleas, sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall, to hear' tlae re, sumed arguments of Counsel in TATHAM V. WRIGHT. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL appeared on the bne, au f Sir EDWARD SucneN on the other side. The Souctroa-GEKEnac believed do ; case gocc i lov . this day by appointment to be argued Cm which was con— sidered the equity part of the case, and which resolved; i'self into the question whether there aad or had not beeni a miscarriage at law in consequence of all the three at— testing witms.es to the will not having hen eritninedi there. It will be recollected that the bill was filed by- Admiral Tatham (as heir-at-law), for the purpose of set.. ting aside Mr. Marsden's will, on the ground of its haviar been obtnined by Mr. Wright by fraud and imposition, The arguments were proceeding when we left the Court. ROLLS COURT. The MasTEP. of the lints s.tt at the Rolls Court, Chancery-lane, to-day, and proceeded to hear petitions, of which his Honour• had disposed of upwards of this ty before our Reporter left; but none possessed the slightest pub is interest, being chiefly for the payment of money in and out of Court, Should his Honour get through all the petitions before him (near 70) to-day, he will out sit again before next term. VICE- C HA NCE LL OR' .S' COURT, The Court eat to-day at Lincoln's Inn in b•nkruptcy, but up to the period when our Reporter left nothing of public importance had come before his Honour. The Court will sit in bankruptcy to-morrow and Thursday, take motions on Friday,' ana then adjourn to the first day of term. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Lord TENTERDEN this morning sat at .Nisi pries. His Lordship was occupied the entire morning with a cause which involved a question relating to a disputed account, of not the least interest except to the parties concerned. The Court will sit to•morrow at Guildhall. 'PING INTELLIGENCL-(THIS DAY FROM LLOYD'S. De&i,, MAY B.—Passed by the Minerva, Proby, for India ; and Craig, Lawson, for the Mauritius.

It is stated in a periodical of the present month that the members of the corps de ballet at some of the minor theatres receiv e for their labours only the paltry remuneration of 7.. a week ! A certain Noble Lord, in the neighbourhood of Portsmouth, has given notice to his tradesmen, that he shall discontinue his favours to them, in consequence of their refusing to support Mr. FLE3llNC.—llampshire Tele9_raph. The following, among other stanzas intro duced by Mr. RAYNER the other night at the Birming ham Theatre, where he has been acting a week, on the evening of his benefit, accompanied by a transparency of the KING, as he appeared when adjourning Parliament, produced perhaps the most powerful effect ever witnessed within the walls of a theatre, and drew lorth a burst of applause which prevented the actor from proceeding for a considerable period, accompanied by the waving of hats and handkerchiefs : Should the vessel Britannia by tempests be tost, Yet of all her good crew not a hand shall be lost, For William's her helmsman, and safe through the storm He'll pilot the ship to the l a nd o f R e f orm. Mr. Ross's election for the Eastern District of Burghs is now considered certain, Sir JAMES CAR, NEGIE having addressed a circular to the Magistrates of the different burghs, in which, after expressing the pain which it gives him to forego the honour of being their re. presentative, he says :—" I cannot con. eat from myself that w,rilrt I felt it my duty to oppose the measure brought forward by hi s Majesty's .Ministers, a s one fraught with innovations dangerous to the Constitution of Britain, but more especially to the welfare of Scotland, I should at the same time be in opposition to the sentimentss of many of my constituents, and to a measure which, with all its demerits, proposed giving to the city of Aberdeen the political influences to which its wealth and import ance so justly entitle it in the shape of a separate re.. presentative." The Baronet has, in our opinion, given satisfactory reasons fur the votes he lately gave, and his declining a contest for the representation of the Burghs. We think a Reform in Parliament a necessary and salutary measure; but others, guided by the purest motives, may entertain different views on this measure as well as on Catholic Emancipation, and where the parties are not guided by sellinterested motives no blame attaches to them. We cannot see how the influence or re spectability of Sir JAMES CARNESIE could be lessened by the passing of the Bill proposed by Ministers; although we are of opinion that the policy of extending the elective franchise in counties to those possessing a property of the annual rent of 101. may justly I.e (I Iles. tioned. This part of the Bill, we trust, will be amended in the new Parliament. The changes will be chiefly felt by those possessed of small. estates, and we apprehend it will rather increase the influence of such proprietors as the Hon. Mr. MAULE and Sir JAMES CARNEGIE, by admit ting the tenants on their extensive arid valuable estates to vote at county elections.—Dundee Co.i.rier. keenness Hyde-park h " Zebs7k, sad on foot. with persons in carriage., on the N at o ro t atmosphere , the May-hlcseutey, crowded U
