The burgh of Ryrgate is nearly a close one also, and the Mem bers in former Parliaments have invariably supported or imposed the Ministers whom Earl Somers supported or, opposed; and they would in all probability hare so voted if they had been pre sent on the 15th instant. The Representation of the county, and Southwark, arc certainly open and popular ; but, of what advantage to the people of Surrey are the votes of the County Members ( however indepeodest they may be) in the House of Commons, when their, votes are neu tralised by the two Members for the rotten burgh of Gatton ! The, votes of the Members for Southwark will, in the semeffian tier, be neutralised by the votes of the Members for Haslemere. In short, the people of Surrey, and of the United Kingdom, would have a better chance for good government, and for relict from their heavy burdens of taxation, if the county of Surrey did not send one Member to Parliament!!! The state of the Representation of this wealthy anti populous county of Surrey, after this exhibition, will. we think, be thought a sufficient ground for amending it, by such Reform al may ap. pear proper. At any rate we, and we think the nation al large, differ from the Duke of Wellington, in thinking that the people of Stirrey are oot satisfied with the present state of the House of Commons.

ALARMING STATE OP CHICHESTER AND ITS NEIGHBOURIfOOD. (FROM OUR CIIICHRETER fORRISPONDENT.) CHICHESTER, NOV. 18. The excitement of to-day has fully equalled that of yesterday. Thirteen or fourteen threshing ma chines, chiefly in the parish of Sosham i were de stroyed last night by mobs assembled for thepur. pose. At three o'clock this morning the house of A. Lavieti, Esq., at Salt Hill, near this city, was surrounded by two or three hundred men,, who de manded five pounds • and threatened, in case o f re fusal, to set fire to t he premises. After some parley Mr. Lavieu gave them two pound*, on condition of their leaving him unmolested. 1 hey, however, pro ceeded to his barn, broke it open, and totally de stroyed his threshing machine, after which they de- parted. Several other houses in the neighbour- hood were visited in like manner in the course of the day and night, and amongst them was that of Lady Henry Howard, at Aldingbourne, where, the' men obtained thirty shillings. The money thus procured appears to have been spent almost imme diately at the nearest public-houses. A Special Session of the Magistrates (the Doke of Richmond in the chair) was held in this city this morning, and a proclamation was agreed to, declaring that th e complaints of the people should be heard if made properly, but that nothing coming from an assembled mob would be listened to, and that all offences against the laws would be punished with rigour, or to that effect. Eight men who had been appre hended in a Tillage public.house, and were suspected of being concerned in last night's proceedings, were brought up, and after a long examination were re mantled until Saturday. Whilst the Mngirratts were investigating this • ease, information was brought that a ,large body of men were assembled at Seagrove, and were proceeding towards Goodwood. The Duke of Richmond instantly mounted his horse and set oft to meet them, attended by up wards of fifty, gentlemen who had been sworn in as ispicial constables. On coming up with them, the Duke pointed out the impropriety of the course they were pursuing, and advised them to disperse, telling them what were the proper steps for them to take. The majority took his Grace' s advice, and the ringleader of 'those who were for a contrary course was taken into custody, and after a few in effectual attempts at rescue, brought to 'Chichester. He has been remanded, to be brought up again on Saturday. All is quiet again here, but there is little doubt that more mischief will be done in the night, as largeparties have been seen in diff e rent parts of the neighbourhood. IRELAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Ma. EDlTtlit,—ln referring to the opening speech of the Duke of Wellington, a passage will he found relative to the existing impoverished stale of Ireland, to remedy which a panacea is pointed out.—" in the return of ab sentee proprietors to' their native soil, and the holding out encouragement to respectable individuals to become resi dent there." Now, Mr. Editor, although I have never owned a foot of land in that country, it has hitherto been my choice as an abode for several years past, from which it may be inferred that any observation I have to offer is quite disinterested, and may be allowed to possess some little claim to experience at least. Without doubt the Union of the Irish Parliament with England was a prima facie cause for many leading fami lies interested therein, turning their thoughts to London as a future residence, vacating, as they have done, their pri vate mansions in Dublin ; but this they were not blame able for, inasmuch as they became the better enabled to discharge their Parliamentary duties, and avoided the expence, trouble, and danger of an uncertain passage through the !rich Channel before the introduction of steam navigation. But it is to that disgraceful and systematic mania for absenteeism in the higher classes generally that the present evils are attributable, which has left the lower classes masters of the soil, who naturally, from the want of administrators of the law, have perverted the course of justice by taking the law into their own hands— " The rich, and they that have an arm to check " The licence of the lowest in degree, " Desert their office ,• and themselves, intent " tan pleasure, haunt the capital, and thus " To all the violence of lawless hands " Resign the scones their presence might protect." • To check an evil of such vital importance to the well being of Ireland is, no doubt, the interest of all classes of her community; argument and solicitation hare hitherto been of no avail; how necessary is it, therefore, to devise a compulsory plan for the immediate return of the absen tee proprietors, by placing se am:able-tax upon such who prefer to become aliens to their country ; and by raising the resident aristocracy to a just sense of their pre-erni tience, by making them the confidential •agents of the Go. vernment, instead of abrogating day after day the small power they once enjoyed. They require not pensions and sinecures to stimulate them to exertion, but the simple acknowledgthent of their valuable talents, by a seasonable and conciliatory intercourse with the Government of their country. With respect to the latter part of his Grace's , observation, " the encouragement to other respectable individuals to settle there," the late 11111 for the equali zation of the currency (cubicle it! Until that measure was effected, all those who drew their income from Eng.. land could live in Ireland at.* mach cheaper rate than at present, owing t.) the " bonus," for each it may be called, ofBl. 6s.

Eil., er Ss. Sd. Irish, and so on, teas for merly demanded, the same price is still kept up in Bri tish money, and for what, an article far interior to what may - be purchased at a lower price 'in England. I will readily admit that in wholesale purchases, and large pay. ments, this evil does not so much apply, but it le the poorer end middling class who.s pe uff r e d r ie b m y,th in e ror t u e r r e : an A d S arg d. ument's rake, let us rate i t l i a o la d oT in er i 's u h m ire me w r a ; s t ut i a fo lly r at 1e..1d., or thirteenpence Irish, Wag equivalent to a British shilling; therefore, on the day the labourer be came paid a British 12d., instead of 18d.

TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—The present is undoubtedly an era of, no attn. nary importance, and upon, the wisdom of the intiasurea now adopted depends the welfere, perhaps the very exist ence, of the Empire. A strong spirit of discontent per vades great part of the, kingdom, and whilst on the one hand all turbulent and seditious proceedings must be re pressed by the strong hand of legs) authority; on the other, it is inonmbent,on un to eonsider what may he the causes of dikaffection ) and how far it is in the power of - Government to remove them. It it needless to conceal that one of the principalcausee is the present date of the representation of the people in Parliament, and deprecat. mew, as every honest man must do, the wild, visionary, and impracticable schemes of a n nual Parliaments and univer sal suffrage, it cannot be denied, . that there are many things in the present constitution of Parliament which re quire alteration. It is my intention in this letter to oonfine myself to the consideration of how far it may be exFedient to give Member, to Birminghamfklanchester, and oilier large towns at present unrepresented ;, and first I would observe that tbi4 measure is so far from being an innovation, that it should rather be called a restoration "of the Constitu- tion to it primitive purity. la ancient times it was ow -1 unitary for the Crown, at towne increased in opuknce and wealth, to summon' them to return Members to Perlis. ment, a As' - trade is of a fluctuating neture" lays Black. stone, " and vellum long. fixed in a place, it was formerly " left to the Crown to su►umon, prove cora, the most "flourishing towns to send representatives to Parliament, " so that as town. increased in trade, and grew populous, " they were admitted to a share in the Legislators. •, One of the great arguments need against Iteform:is that in Parliament, as at present Constituted, all property is fairly represented. But is this the ruse? Can property be said to be fairly represented when no Members are re turned for large and opulent towns; the *eats of our prin cipal manufacture, ? Jr' it not ridiculous to talk about property being fairly represented when it is notorious that these great emporiums of trade, theft seats of national wealth, affluence, and . power, return no Members to Par. !fitment? What would be the, reflections of a stranger, who, on visiting Leeds, Birmingham, or Manchester, on witnessing the stupendous efforts of art anti science in those towns, which form, as it were, the heart of our trade, and which diffuse life anti vigour through the kingdom—what would be his refiectiOns when told that though the theory of the Constitution wee, that all property should be represented—though .this was also in earlier times the practice of the Consti tution, yet that these great marts of trade and commerce did not enjoy the privilege of returning Members? Can any thing. by more preposterous, than that there should be no Members in the Commons Howe of England -to repre• sent the wants, the opinions, the interests of so large and re spectable a portiorfof the community ? It may be said, that they are indirectly represented by Members for other places. But what would be said if Yorkshire, or Nortlimaerland, or any oterlarOnounty, should have no Members of its own in ParlierilerA but should be asoired its interests were represels4l - by the Members for some borough, at the other extremity of the island? the freeholders of the county so circumstanced would naturally say, " The woe " thy Member for such or such a borough is no doubt an wimalde ; man, and on great guestione of war. or " peace, or such topics, will give his opinion or " his vote well and correctly ; but how can be be supposed to understand our local Waries t or to If represent our opinions? In the smile way the menu lecturers ray, " You give Members to every county to re ss present its opinions, and attend to its interests; you "give Members to Liverpool and Bristol to represent com -14 melee—you give four Members to the city of London to " represent, in a becoming manner, its trade ; but to us " who contribute so largely to your wealth, to us MI) " enable you to compete with the world, by your tier " tious in war, and to rival all nations in the arts of " peace; to us you deny this great and invaluable pri " vilege !" Theta. is, indeed, scarcely a measure that can be brought forward in Parliament, the discUirsion of which would not he conduCted in a more satisfactory manner if these towns were represented. on all ques tions of taxation, or of regulations regarding trade ; nn all questions of free trade, mad, in short, m almost every point of great national interest, how great would be the advantage of. having representatives ceiripg' tent to explain to the House how the great sources of public wealth would be affected by the measures in ques itiertak such are some of the advantages that this plan would produce. It is no wild theory, for here we see the practical benefits that would result from it; it it no inno. vation of the Constitution, for we have seen that it only tends to restore it to its ancient and healthy state, How teesk, though how wild would be the idea, that even if this were an innovation it ought therefore to be reaisted! Time, " that great innovater," as Lerd Bacon calls it, proceeds rapidly ; opinions rise and frill ; old sources of wealth are dried up, new ones are discovered; and can it bo supposed that the •same regulations which suited one state of society are adapted to another ? Shall man gas, habits of life, natural feelings, intelligence, *od wealth, ebb and flow, and the constitution of Gavern rpent remain fixed and unalterable? What is the history of the British Constitution but one of changer), and she rations, and improvements? Have not our great and revered forefathers maintained this mighty empire in its High and pui.ssnt state by a wise observance of the signs of the times, and by skilfully varying their measures to Ilea the varying state of affairs? Let us not, then, now aserifice the spirit to the letter of .the Constitution. Let Lo wisely yield those points which are required by the *per of the time, and whilst we hold social and In viohtble the fundamental principles of the Constitution, ire solicitous to prevrve its faults, its blemishes, and I have the honour to terrain, Sir, Your obedient Servant, ALPHA.

It is alas said that several gentlemen, who are in communication with the individuals about his MAJEbTeIi person, oats that the Kartu has also exhibited a very marked feeling with respect to the disappointment ; and spoke in such a manner of the citizens of London, as removes all doubts from their minds as to his MAJESTee intention.

STATE OP TIH COUNTRY. By . some accounts received yesterday, it would appear that the burning* of farming stock are approaChing nearer to London. A gentleman who holds an extensive firm io the tieighbourhood of II rmpton was informed in ts letter from his superintendent, that he distinctly saw three fires on Tuesday.evening--one in the direction of Vglusm, alto • slier in that of Retlfoni, and a third in the neighbourly-gni of Ditton or East Moulaay. On the farm first alluded to there seems to have been a narrow escape from a similar calamity, as the bailiff, in passing near a large oat rick, premed his font ity accident on a fire-ball, or enme coin • bustible of that kind, which immediately ifmited.iThe ma terial is strongly suspected to have been prepared f 9 r in cendiary purposes. On Friday a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Hide, at Wateraford, near Arundel, where a barn and a stack were destroyed by the incendiaries. On Monday night tome stacks belonging to Mr. Bkinner,itt Ashington, were consumed ; and on the same night ti shed upon the pre mises of R. Prime, Esq., at Walberton. On Tuesday some stacks on the premises of Mr. Amore ' at Angmering, were burnt down, and so strong were the flames that the glare terra perceived from Brighton. The time night two fires, apparently in the direction of ilnrahans, there seen by the passengers of the mail-coach from London. On Tuesday a serious riot broke oat at Ctickneld (which is only 14 miles from Brighton), and there have also been risings at other'places in the werern part of the county. The disturbancea st Cuckfield originated in the :prehen sion of a boy, Only 18 or 11 years of age, on a chorge of sending as many as six threatening lettere to ' , mon' in the vicinity. The peasantry have 1160 assembled tumultuously at se vet e) other villages in the west of Eins.ex, for the purpose of demanding higher , . On Way evening, about eight o'clock, e body of 20') men ementbled at Worthing and its vicinity. The Magni 'orates called in the assistance of the blockade, and on their apnea:rause the mob separated and went to their hOPON. the same evening 300 farmers' labourers of e.p.. struck for an increase of wage, in the pari shr I I , am, a little to the eastward of Bognor, and visited sever a l farmers' houses to urge compliance with their demands.— On the following day their numbers increased ; they are coming eastward, compelling the farmers' servants to join them as they proceed. They are armed with large sticks, but hitherto (up to noon on Tuesday) no act of violence has been committed, On Monday, from 7Q to 100 labourers proceeded in a body to vial; most of the farmers in the vicinity of Lewes, and peremptorily demandA that they should pay their labourers per day, and destroy their machinery, if they had any. They bad no offensive weapons in their possession, and in every other respect, save the above de mand, their behaviour was peaceable. We have heard that most of the farmers whom they visited have in rouse titteure tabled the wage", of their men. Ttswasspatt Warta.--On Tuesday a troop of the sth Dragoons arrived from Tunbridge, and are to be stationed) hare for *inter/tit, to he in readiness if wanted. On Thursday last large parties of labourers to the num bearof,ooo or 700, assembled is the neighbourhood of Wadhurat, for the purpose of compelling the farmers to raise' their **gee. They went round to all the farm. houses, and stated their determination to have at least 2e. 3d. per day, anti that they would in return lend their as sistance to the farmer*, in compelling the parsons to give up half their tithe.. One man has been apprehended in the act of holding forth at tine of the public-hnuses, arid trying to persuade some men to join the rioters at Front. On being taken before the Magistrates he underwent a long private examination, and it is understood made im portant incloaurer relative to some of the late fires ; and a communiestiou wits subsequently sent off to to the Secre tary of State. During the day also reports reached the Magistrates of several excesses committed by the mob in the surrounding country, and they deemed it necessary to send iiff to !Millstone for a party of military to be at hand in cese of further distialieuree; and in the evening a troop of horse arrived, and took up their quarters at Tun bridge town. Mr. Crowley, the clergyman of Rotherfielk wes.virited by the snob, and compelled to sign a paper giving up half the amount of his tithes for the future ; and on the ca m e day a large quantity of machinery belonging to Mr. Bowie, of Crowboroligh, was destroyed. CANTIMBURY, WEDNICSDAY.....,Staeh continues the agi. tated state of all parties in Kent, that scarcely a coach or conveyance arrives in any town or village but the moat eager inquiry is made as to the state of the peasantry in the parts they have parsed through. The Weald of 'Kent now appears the priqeieral place, where the alarm con tinues greater than ever. Every one appears ready to b e the avenger of his supposed injuries. Ilunslreds of coun. trymen daily congregate, and proceed from house to house, demanding the farmers to.sign document* raising the la bourers' %veers front the present sum to its. 3d. to Vs. (Id., t et day. They boldly declare their wauts shall not be stopped by instruments of force; that they cannot endure them .selves,--..they have , stronterms,—they Wive almost been suffered to famish, whilst the rich have plenty of supplies, and the wants of the poor are never thought of, This is the language made use of by many who were assembled at Chart and . fluckinge yesterday and to-day, by man armed with large sticks. It is reported that in a few hours, from the b o rders of Sussex, throughout Addington to ,Ashford; organised bodies could assemble to the number of 2,000 or 8,000. Last evening the constable of the Ashford division arrived in this eity,ibringing an order for a ,squadron of the 7th Dragoons again to march to Ashford ; a troop accordingly left early this morning, proceeding on the road at about ten miles an hour. This evening another express arrived, requiring the assistance of a greater military force, and another troop will immediately proceed to the same destination. The men in this part of the county seem more determined than any we have yet heard of, and daily collect freslyassociates. We have seen a gentlemen' of Homestreet, who conversed with the men for a long time, and who signed a paper to the effect above stated,.bat at the same time, said he could not apt continue to pay the labourers that rate of wagoo,..it.was impossible to continua it. Et•xr o'CLoca.---Persons arriving from Ashford state that the rioters have been busily engaged in destroying the property of those who did not agree to their demands. A report has also reached here this evening that another fire has taken place on the London-road. Two persons who were employed watching the farm-yard of Mr. Lake, of Milton Chapel, state that for the last hour they have seen a great light in the air, having every appearance of a fire at a distance. ALurssrome, WIDNISDAY.—Extraot of 4 letter:--- " There is, it is said, some eine to the incendiary (for suspicion attaches only to one individual) who has been busy neighbourhood being detectol. A mom dressed in shabby-genteel, but of manners apparently above the ordinary class, wesoluterred the evening before the fire at tlearsted, and entered into conversation with a labourer in a barn on the subject of the tires.

SPIRIT OP TIM PUBLIC JOURNALS. The new Administration hat, we believe we may affirm, been completed in all its parts, except the Legal Departments. It has been formed under the direction of Earl Grey; and it is not true that hilt Lordsbip declined the duty, which his Mitjesty confided to him in a manner the most frank and cordial. Mr. Brougham, it is positively asserted„ has resolutely declined the Seals; and it was not until he was assured that much depended on his ,iccesshmt to the Government, that Lord Althurp could be prevailed upon to accept office. The new Cabinet has been formed without alloy. It will boast the effective services of Lord Palmerston, with the commercial wisdom and brilliant eloquence of Mr. Grant—the shadowy line which at one pe riod divided the enlightened Statesmen of Mr. Rua kisson's connexion from the other friends of liberal politics being happily obliterated. Of the arrange merits no more has transpired than Lord Grey's personal inclination to be at the head of the Adini- rslty, which he formerly occupied, rather then any ether department; and that Lord Anglesea, with Mr. Stanley for his Chief Secretary, is to have the Lord Lientenatitcy of Ireland. In this case Mr. Doherty would remain most probably in of as Solicitors General. It is believed that Lord. Grey will not assume the ostensible position pf Premier: but that Lord Spencer, or probably Lord Carlisle, will be at the head of the Treesary, the members of the new Cabinet each enjoying that influence over the couriella of the Government which may fairly ; belong to him individually, without being subject to the same dictation on the part of any sine as characterized the late Administration. Lord Denkett has unquestionably been referred to; but of what nature the proposition made to . him is, we cannot state with any certainty. To Sir John Leach no application has been made; nor is it con templated to put the Great Seal in C omm i ss i on . Lord Melbourne is named as one of the persons in eluded in the present arrangements, which, notwith standing the, contrary reports industriously circulated, we believe to be in great measure matured,' We do not find Lord Anglesea's appointment to the Government of Ireland, or the nomination of Mi. Stanley, likely to meet with. any general approval among the parties most immediately concerned.— Morning Chronicle. It is generally thought that 'Mr. Denman Will be Attorney-General. With respect to Mr. Brougham's refusal of the Chancellorship, under an Admini,rpAl tion of which he approves the politics, people know, not what to thiolc. A public man who refuses offico:`, under such circuMstances, can only do so because he' thinks the office beneath him ; and the Chancellorship, is not generally thought beneath the ambition of at lawyer. Office enables a man to carry his view!: into effect; and to reform to take office is only there-' fore justifiable when a man cannot act with an Ad ministration. The principles of the Administration may, indeed, be such as the Learned Gentlemmt: cannot approve of; which would be a valid juitifi. cation of refusal. Time will throw light on this matter, which at present seems inexplicable. We know that great difficulties have been experienced in the forming an Administration on certain under-' stood principles. The Marquis of Lansdowne had no concern. with the arrangements so late as yesterday . forenoon.—Morning chronicle. which cannot yet be, censidered, goo T d h a e u r t o h i c l ) o r w ity in , g in i t s t in all respects, as definitively settled , : -- list of the 'new .Ministry, from„ Premier..

Some doubts were expressed in 'the morning as' to whether the Marquis of Lansdowne would join the Ministry, on the ground" that he objected to making Parliamentary Beforni is Cabinet measure, and this report excited wn u stir prise. Mr. Stanley was else mentioned as the Se cretary for Ireland.—Morning It is remarkable that some of the Journala„who, but a day or two ago were favouring the public With, a list of the new Ministry, were yesterday as' silent on the subject as if the Government of the country were going on in its usual train, They were ,resh, at first, and are now sagacious and prudent. The, stories afloat are wholly unauthorized, though, of. course, some names by chance may turn up to be right. For ourselves, we believe that nothing , is yet done towards the completion of this most &Ili. cult task. Indeed, •it is unreasonable to expect an. immediate settlement of si important a question., Mr. Canning took, we believe, 20, the Duke of Wel-, iington 24, days to (OM their respective Ministries., The present state of the country, however, melees de-, spatch a very high and urgent duty; and we trust Lord : Grey will meet with no vexatious impediments.—, We should be sorry if individual caprices,fantail-, tical self conceits, desires that shrink from ieir own accomplishment through the consciousness of in competence, and yet refuse to acquiesce in an exclu sion which it is affected to court, should stand in the way of an easy and final arrangement. If there are, such humours, we wish they were handed over to us : we think we could dispose of them either now or hereafter under an hottest Administration, sin-, cerely disioged to rational economy and temperate, referm. There is one thing with respect' to the retiring Chancellor which we venture to hint: if he remaine, the country: saves the pension, and economy is the order of the day. The pithlic, too, begin to ask is there not something absurd in the system whichuonderrins the clearest, head and most vigorous undirontriding of the profes.ion, without the slightest syMptorn of impaired energy, to long, or, perpetual inaction or inutility t —notes. We regret that we have but little of a proiti% 0 . nature to state respecting the composition of ti new Ministry. The negotiations are prueettlitigt with secrecy, but with as much despetch as could, have been expected under 411 circumetancea; end we have little doubt that to-morrow, or on Monday. ut leteat, we shall have it in our power in announce., the names of the principal Members of the new, Administration.
