But the fair influence of . property, and the I :exerci , coftlirect nom Mat ion, are very different things; Hind the latter is, if we mistake not, what the spirit of the age will not much longer consent to succumb to. Dot the introduction of-the , sons of the Noe Lbility into Parliament is a very different matter, Ab strectuhy considered, we know not where the power can exist to deprive them of their rights as citizens, While, in practice, their introduction into Parliament lhaa been found of great value ;---fiat, as blending ihern, with those numerous other ranks of which Ow irssembly must necessarily be composed ; end, secondly, as traitor% them to higher stations.by the performance of duties from which they would other. wise lw all their lives s ha t out ,and unacquainted.

The'.most ipyortlitit of ; beim Lets was , . the appe a r a n ce of th e suppreased papers, in despite of the prohibitions of a Cloveninient which ,had set low, Justice, and. public opinion, at defiance, and which was, moreover, prepared to enforce the pro..• hibition by every means that violence could suggest. This fact spoke volumes, as it showed at once, that uorsoni. perhaps the most competent to form n right judgment on what is. tutiv going on in France, did not hesitate to oppose the ; Government in its reckless course of violence•r-ithus showing that rhey Mt the sirongest•conviction it would be the losing party in this grand struggle. The next important fact was the meeting of, such of thu new DeNnie* .ia had arrived in Paris, and, by their own authority, and deepite of that ~of lice King, constituting themselves. into a Chamber, and, what' 14 more, providing for the safety ,of the, country, us in periods .of the most imminent puhlic ,tlenger. From these two steps it was easy to anticipate all that has since taken place. They were, indeed, unerring : signs that' the whole country, .with the exception of a patty too contemptible to be taken into consideration, bad been long disgusted with, the conduct of the Government, and wanted only a sufficient pretext to afford the , strongest practical proofs of that dis gust. Frotre-the ignorance—the unaccountable ignorance—of ;this feeling on the part of the King, hive sprung all' the dangers to which his person and authority are ut.khis moment exposed, lie saw, in the ,Drestnt French, only the;same people as they had been 50 y;ters before; whereas the interval has produeed a totel,chringe in their character, and, in a, tnerriantrked manner still, in their situation.

This trial, which has excit e d g re at i n t e rest in the town and neighbourhood, began this Morning. Lord TENTERDEN took his .seat on theßench at nine o'clock. Captain lifoir was brought into the space com monly occupied by.tbe gaolers and persons appointed for trial a short time before his Lordship entered. He sat on a chair in the corner of the deck, 'end waited with great composure till the commence ment of the trial. His appearance altagether is MOM prepossessing. He was very neatly dressed in a black frock coat, with black stock, and waist coat and trousers of the same colour. He is about six feet high. Ott being asked by the clerk whether he was guilty or not guilty ? he replied, in a firm Tejo, " Not Guilty." He was then accommodated with a chair. Mr. BRODERICK stated the case nearly to the fol lowing effect :—" May it please your .lordship and gentlemen of the Jury, the prisoner at the bar (Mr. Moil) is the proprietor of the Shellhaven rearm, in the parish of Watley, in this county,' and it con sistsos I em informed, of about 400 acres. It is bounded by the river Thames, along which there is a sea-wall. The Shellhavett Farm Is about eight or nine miles from Tilhery, and near Canvey Island, Immediately adjoining this farm, between it and the London side, there is a creak, called the Holly. creek, and from a tongue of land of this farm there is another creek formed, known by the name of the Shelliolven-creek. The deceased, William Malcolm, was a poor man, a fisherman, resident at Hammer smith, and on the 17th of March last, he . ; teem pithy with his apprentice, a lad !turned Dukes, about the hour of twelve o'clock, took his boat, and crossed over to Shellhavert-creek, where he set his net. The prisoner, on . Abserving him, came top to and asked him. by what right he set his net there. The deceased replied that he, as well as others, from time immemorial, were in the habit of doing so. After much abuSive language passed between them, and Which I shall not repeat to you, the prisoner threatened to cut the deceased's' net. The deceased' accordingly took it up, and went with it' across the Marshes to a cottage oc cupied by a poor woman named Baker. When the prisooer was removing his net, and going towards the cottage of Baker, the prisoner told him he should not cross the marshes. The deceased replied, " that it was of no eonsequence." He accordingly went round by the sea-wall to this poor woman's cottage, accompanied by his apprentice and the other man ; where, after remaining an h our a n d three quarters, and having changed some fish for potatoes, he returned across the marshes, carrying with him a basket in which thew were somepotn toes, and having his boat-pole on his shoulder. They had not proceeded far across the marshes when they observed th e p r i soner riding fast towards them, and on his coming up be culled on them to atop. The deceased said that he would go on, con ceiving that he had a .right to do so, us it was. a thoroughfurc—a beaten path. On the deceased re fusing to return back, the prisoner immediately took a circuitous route, and came up with them, on doing which he, without further observation, pulled u pis tol from his breast, and fired at the deceased. The pole immediately dropped from his shoelder, and deceased exclaimed; " Oh,' Si r, you have broken 1$ my arm. The prisoner then addre,sed the lad, sad told him if he did not go off he should be served ire the same way. I be pois o ne r said, after using! florae eoarse expressions, that the wounded taw should have u doctor, and rode off, Ile did send for a doctor—Dr: Dothl—from;Stanford , le-Hope ; how , ever, previous to his arrival, the deceasedreturned with the boy to 14red,, cottage,''Wbee some: simple remedies Were applied, such as waNhing the wound, and putting some herbs to it.. When Dr. Dodd arrived, he immediately proceeded to an. examination of the wound. he bleedbng hunt stopped, Hp introduced his probe, and ascertabted that the bone. was : mit fractured, mr. were Any of the large blotid-vesselssuptured. Dr. Dodd then told the deceased that he thought he would do well. Front the state of exhaustion in which he appeared, the Doctor :thought it right to give the : deceased one Or two glasses of liquor; after which he proceeded to die house of the prisoner, who, dos seeing Dr. Dodd, exclaimed, " Oh linetor, I ha*i carved: out some work for you." The Doctor its reply said to the prisoner, " Do you think I haii nothing todo ?" At the same time be requested that a cart and horse should he sent for the de ceased, that he might be removed to Stariford-le. , Hope,'foi the better conveniences of medical atten &rice. The prisoner, replied, " Oh yes; by all menus;" and adding, "Coyne in, Doctor--sl'll tell you all about it." And they accordingly went into the house, where the prisoner detailed All which L have already .stated, adding. that 'he had prepared his pistols•for the purpose, turd that he would serve any perime lie cured riot whom, who would trespass on his greund; its the'like manner, 'mid lie was fully justified, in doing it,. es.he considered every Men land his 'ettstle; but, acting upon such an opinion, I fear that the prisoner Wilt find he has cotnoutted fatal mistake; ; , for the law does not permit the life of any individual to he :taken away for art ac:t of simple treopeac Doctor:Dodd asked. the prisonei whether the deceased should be attended at his expenee ?." The .prisOner r replied, "'Oh, cer tainly; but net one shilling in the way of compensa tion, for, he has richly, deserved what he has PO The deceased was accordingly removed to Stanford le-Hope, end he was put safe to bid, and' the wound scurried to have a most favourable appear.; mice, aada COlifinunnee of it on the subsequent day; Doctor Dodd being is young prectitioottr, and. net. wishing to be under Ihe rceponsibilityrof such a care; most properly,. I will: say,: called in a gentleman of greater experience to hie assistance—sda Doctor Rod; bitison, who, after seeing the deceased, OHO con‘; suiting together, thought bleeding ennidlent, which was accordingly done, and had a beneficial effect on t hy ppearmode of the wOund, .which ,e.mitineed 'Most favourable. 'They alao called intertheir assittence a gent l eman of considerable experience, a Mr. Vidal!, 'when leeches and poultices were applied; rater which the wound looked extremely well, and nothing could he more favouvalstortluen the state of the deceased. However, on the suln4quent Tuesday, a fatal change took 'place ; for, ms'the deceatted getting up to have his bed made, he complained of a slight pill in hie . right jaw. On this- sitriptom appeethig, Dr. Dodd immediately called in Dn. Robinson mid Vidal), who agreed with him that the demised had got a locked jaw, and that death must be, the uousequenee, of which deceased :web& informed ; and, accor di ng to their prediction, the deceased slid not lira . rnore than forty-eight hours. The question whi c h gentlethen, hate to decide is this, whether the wound indicted lty tie pr i soner %Vita not the jifirae... diate cause of the. deceased's demh, end .whether it .doesoot lialaa fit to murder ?" Mr. Buonuatcit then called the following wit nesses 'William Dukes—l ton a fisherman, residing at Wandsworth, in Surrey. Knew Mr. Malcolm', and had known him for seven years.

'After some , further evidence, Lord TENTERMIN said—" William Moir,, you have heard the charge, and the evidence brought forward against you. If you have any thing to say in your defence, now is the time to say it." Captain Moir, in clear and firm voice, replied to the following effect:--" My Lord, I have been in his Majesty's service since, my infancy, and have served his Majesty in every pert of the globe, The two regiments; in; which I served are now in India ; I am thereby deprived of the evidence of my brother' officers as to character; 'but I trust I am not a man likely to treat any one with cruelty or severity. One of the • soldiers who served under my command has come from town. this day to bear witness to the manner in which he had been treated by me. Of the unfortunate deemed I bad no knowledge; and nothing but his improper conduct could have led to the result which originated the present pro. ceediogs. I was in the habit of carrying pistols from the first. The place was so lawless I was obliged to do ,so in my own defence. The rest 1 leave to my Counsel, to your: Lordship, and a British Jury."

GENERAL ELECTION. BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK. , • (COWTINitit, Faun Ylt4TrAbAr. At three o'clock the polling corninetieerd with very great spirit, and infinite was the display of eleciorial wit ex hibited by the " unwashed artisan*" as each body of voters approsched. Every specie* of popular fun and drollery w ee resorted to by the partizan* of the different members, flit the pOrpoie of casting ridicule, et 'turning the laugh against the obnoxious candidates. From the time the'voting commenced to the'cloae of the poll the popular feeling appeared to flow strongly in favour of Harris, and at an tarry hour of the day the hots in his favour were eagerly made by the speculators on the result of the election. The following are the numbers for each candidate, at the close of the ilay'a poll (Four o'clock.) • Mr. .1.. R. 'Janis Mr. C. Calvert Sir Robert Wilson •.. ISE Immediately after the state of the poll had been de. dared, Mr. Harris, es shading the highest on the list, advanced to the front of the hustings, and addressed the electors in a speech of considerable length. Such, how ever, was the applause with which he was greeted, and the f r equent cheers with which almost every Sentence he at, tete( • .• I was received, that although we succe ed e d ( not with out groat difficulty) in obtaining it place• pretty near the speaker, we could scarcely catch a single syllable which felt front his lips. We 'understood him to continence by the expression of his hearty thanks for the flattering manner :in which his friends had come forward in the course of the morning, and of his perfect conviction that they would relax nothing in their exert i ons unt il t h ey had secured his eleetiou. He felt gratified that the opinion of his more immediate friends had not hitherto been disappoint ed. It was quite clear, from the state of the pall, that the voters of the berongliuf Southwark not only required a representative wall acquainted with the general subject dour commercial 'Mations; but also one who was well ac. quid:dad, from a long resident* amongst them, with their more immediate and local wants.-..(Applause.).-41e flat. tired himself -that, in ease they honoured him by eetunilotr. hint to Parliament, from the -knowledge he had of the bonne), he slibuld' be able to render them very_ Wficieiit and valuable service, since he bad passed his *Vole life amongst them, engaged in the most active commercial pursuit.. After a great number of other retnarks, which were quite inaudible, Mr. Harris retired amidst the most deafening applause. Mr. C. CA LVERT next presented himself to the crowd, And was received by a clamour• whiCh utterly beggars all 'description. Mr. Calvert made repeated attempts to ad— dress the crowd; bat invariably met with the most mat ked and determined opposition ; it was, however, pleasing to observe the perfect good-humour and bon hownie with which he met every rebuff and insult from the mob. Finding every attempt to Make himself heard ineffectual, he was about to Withdraw, when, Mr. Mums again presented himself, and silence having at length been partially restored, urgently begged of the iassembled multitUde, that they would allow their old re presentative to address them, but even the solicitations of the popular cantlidete were altogether unsuccessful in calming the raging amour, and Mr. Calvert was conse quently obliged after all,. to !forego his intention of ad dressing his constituents: Sir It.; %Lem: presented himself amidst mingled cheers and•hisser. haVing adverted to the pro ceeding, of the day, and the situation in which his name stood on the poll, the gallant Gentleman proceeded to take a review of the political principles that always actuated his public and Parliamentary career. He said, that he could not refrain from expressing his surprise that the electors of SoUthwark should have allowed a new candidate to pre sent himself for the honour of representing them in Par liament without, at least, baying called upon him to avow his political sentiments..—(Applause and uproar.)- 11e had not been asked what his views were in respect to Reform,' much less had he allowed any thing to escape him during the day, calculated to satisfy their minds as to the sentiments he entertained on that 104,0. .Ile (Sir R.

Sir Robert concluded by expressing his hope that the state of the poll to-morrow would clearly evince that the electors of Southwark had not been disappointed in the confidence they had reposed in their two former mention., and slain return them to Parliament.

HYTHIL—The report that Hythe would not be contested is incorrect, Mr. Fitzroy 'telly, the bar rister, and Mr. Fraser, are candidates upon the town interest, in opposition to Mr, Mnrioribunks and Mr. Loch, the late members. The latter gentlemen rely upon the support'of the non-resident freemeri, who are about 400 in number, persons of various conditions in life, and who never approach the town except upon the day of election. On the oter i hand, th e i n h a bi tant householders of the town, h in number about 250, conceive that, by the immemo rial constitution of the Cinque Ports, and especially of Hythe, elucideted and strengthened by the recent decision in the Rye case, they, and not the non-residents, are exclusively, entitled to the exercise of the elective franchise, as freemen, and have so licited the new candidates to come forward, and have to a• man pledged themselves to support them. The resident members of the corporation (whose votes are admitted by both parties to be unquestion able) are in nnmbers frcm 15 to 20 only, and are equally divided ; one half favourable to Mr. Loch and his collea g ue, who are powerfully supported by the East India Company; the eth er , half being plefiged to the popular candidates.
