AA home for COnsultatlon dully from Eleven till Two, and froth 44 tilt Meg THE GREAT PROPERTY CASE.—The Kilkenny Mode rator, in referring to the great property case of Butler v. Mountgarrett, which occupied Judge Ball during the entire of the past week at the assizes of Kilkenny, says : —" It is said, we do not know with what truth, but it is not unlikely that the circumstances of the case will be made the subject of another trial." The Moderator adds : —" As to the result of the trial, as might naturally be ex pected in a district where the late Col. Butler was so gene rally and deservedly esteemed by all rank,s and classes of the community, a decision tending to secure to his family the enjoyment of his ancestral estate and the inheritance of a title which his progenitors have made famous in the records of their country's history, is a circumstance which has given general satisfaction to the public. But we are happy to be enabled to state, for we consider that it does credit to the feelings of the community, that there exists an equally extensive disposition to sympa thise with and commiserate the position in which this verdict has placed an innocent, and we believe estimable family, the loss to whom of title and property would pro bably be deemed as of but slight and momentary impor tance in comparison with other considerations which are involved. Justice must take its course, and the law must assert its due control ; but if the verdict in which the present trial has resulted be fully ratified and carried out, we must feel that never, perhaps, were the sins of the father more severely visited upon the children than in the case of Lord IViountgarrett and his family; and however the local public may feel satisfied at seeing a title and the income of a considerable property kept at home amongst them in a family whom they know and to whom thy are attached by many weighty and binding ties, there are few indeed, we should hope and we fully believe, amongst the inhabitants of our county who will refuse their warmest sympathies to a family subjected to so signal; so bitter, and, as regards themselves, so unde served a reverse as has been sustained by the defendant in this action and his immediate connection." ( From the Daily News.) Whilst the allied fleets, aided by 10,000 French soldiers, are acting against Bomarsund, the King of Denmark seems to reckon on the interests of Europe being so entirely engrossed by the incidents of the war in the Baltic and the Black Sea, that he may take the opportunity while the world is looking another way to re-arrange the affairs of Denmark According to his own notions. But if the war were more active than it is in both those seas, the English public would never be in different to the fate of a people with whom they have been brought into close relation again and again, during many centuries, and with whom they hope to have nearer and better relations that can arise out of mere royal mar riages. The Orkney and Shetland isles became ours by a Danish alliance—being transferred to us in lieu of the dowry of the Queen Margaret, who married Jameslll. of Scotland. The mother of our Charles I. was a Danish prin cess ; and the great-aunt of our present Queen was mar ried to Christian VII. of Denmark. It was her son who had to endure our apparent aggressions during the last war ; and the pain and difficulty of the case were much aggravated by the relationship of the two royal families. A second cause of our interest in the welfare of Denmark for a long course of years has been the evidence that has arisen with time of the growing appreciation of popular liberty in the Scandinavian countries which lie between Russia and the rest of the world. Norway has long been the most democratic country in Europe in both the substance and form of its government. Sweden has much hindrance to get over in the great remains of its feudal institutions ; but the space left by the constitu tion for the enlargement of popular privileges is gradu ally filling up ; and the enlightenment of the present sovereign has improved popular capabilities for self-go vernment to a remarkable degree, however his personal leanings in favour of dynastic interests may occasion doubt and embarrassment in crises like thepresent. There is no doubt of the general goodwill of the Swedes on behalf of freedom at home and abroad. When Denmark was visibly advancing in the right direction, obtaining, prizing, and preserving a constitution which fitted the humbler classes for political privilege, and admitted their rights to representation in the Legislature, we looked with affectionate respect and sympathy on the new form which the ancient Scandinavia was assuming in our time, and hoped that her former glories were to be eclipsed by the nobler spectacle of three northern nations emulating each other in their progression towards a common aim —the greatest that nations can propose. The poet's song about the brotherhood of the Scandinavian peoples had died away ; and it has been our privilege to hear it caught up again since the powers and virtues of indige nous constitutional government have become understood, and have been sought and applied as they have been by the best men in the three Scandinavian countries ; and so strong has been our interest in the cause that we are very sure that no incidents of the war—no victories by sea or land—can render us indifferent to the misfortune of the Danish people in losing a constitution which placed them on the right side amidst the universal preparation for the full and final establishment of that right. A third ground of English interest in the political prosperity of Denmark is the increased communication and co-operation between the two nations. By far the largest proportion of the Danes are tillers of the soil— small proprietors—called " peasants," but answering more to our yeomanry ; and the fisheries are the next most important branch of industry in Denmark, its com merce being little more than the exchange of its own agricultural products and fish and oil for the commo- dales in immediate use at home. The alteration in our tariff in 1842 and 1843 gave an entirely new value to our relations with Denmark. Since the peasants have been invited to send us their cattle, new wealth has flowed in upon them—new stimulus—new hopes and desires • and the growing interest has been fully reci procated by us. It is a great thing for both countries that the Hamburg steamers are perpetually bringing over tens of thousands of cattle from the marshes of Denmark and Holstein, to enrich our graziers and feed our people, while supporting a new population in the Danish provinces ; but it is a much greater thing that the peasants are rising in education even more than in wealth; and that we find ourselves willingly obliged to respect and sympathise with them accordingly. And truly and heartily we did sympathise with them, when the first semblance of popular power arose in Den mark—when, in 1831, provincial states were instituted by Frederick VI., though those states could do nothing more than advise the Crown, which might take the ad vice or not, as it pleased. The mere summons to discuss public matters, and deliver a judgment upon them, was a prodigious gain, and a sure prophecy of more liberty to follow. When, in 1848, further privileges were given, we rejoiced with our friends over the sea, though we saw more clearly than they seemed to do that the actual rights conceded to them were too vague and ambiguous to be practically enjoyed without dispute. Except in regard to finance, and organic constitutional changes, the representatives had no power but of expressing their opinions. The Sovereign was to decree the election and assemblage of the " Common States " of the kingdom, and to appoint a few of the members from the Duchies. But every class was admitted into the elective repre!en- tation ; a nd it was a prodigious advance for every class to have a share in the control of the finances of the kingdom, and a voice in the,decision upon new laws in- vol; - ing the common interests of Deninark Proper and the Duchies. In proportion as we, and other free nations, sympa thised in these political advances, the Czar and other despots became uneasy. questions of succession are the common resource of uneasy despots, when matters are going too fast in any improving country ; and no where is a succession easier to raise than in Denmark. Once more we must remind our readers, as we have done so often before, that the question of succession to the throne of Denmark is so settled as to leave the Czar within three of that coveted seat. It is a serious fact, under every aspect ; and especially now, when, in the very crisis of his fortunes, there has been a coup d'etat in Denmark, after a succession of incidents which suggest the supposition that the Czar is at the bottom of the mischief there as he is everywhere. When our fleets went to the Baltic the authorities in Denmark were sulky, and they have not since shown any cordiality like that of Sweden and Norway. When the Danish people last June celebrated with rejoicings the anni versary of their constitution the ruling powers were sulky, and some undue coercion was imposed. And now that constitution is wholly subverted, and the King proposes something which he calls a constitution, but which it is hardly conceivable that his people will accept as such. What they will do, it will be a matter of deep interest to all constitutionalists to observe, and especially what happens next month, on the first day of which the new National Council is to assemble. The King holds out a hope that at some future time this council will be partly composed of elected members ; but at present, all its members are to be nominated by himself. He is to nominate the president of this council, andits phlaecebaosfthseession, right andof the length sendingand anybody else whom he pleases, to witness and share in the discussions of the counc il : and no the e Ministers,fits sittings throughchange i t n his th s e am c o ons u t o it u u n t off ion . is needed. The people of Denmark have lost t heir can n o f b u e rth i e introduced r odu e descriptione d but liberties altogether if this is the constitution they are to live under. •And its being imposed just now, with a summons of the Council to meet on the Ist of Septem ber, shows plainly enough that this infamous revolution is immediately connected with the war. Thus we have even a closer interest in it than from our sympathy with the people of Denmark ; and, if it is our principle not to intermeddle with the internal affairs of other nations, it is no less our duty to keep watch on the manifesta pees,that and mustall manifesta tions of ev er y G overnment i n Europe in regard to that a tu l the g e a r r utleerrs of , the all war, which is i nev it a bl y b ecom i ng the great war of the peoples, Opinion theteltti and ti e tryn of al our globe. The King of Denmark leads the way in the avowal that all must make, sooner or later ; and his act must be registered for future use and guictance, whatever may be the present comment which his people may choose to utter or withhold.

"Harpenden, June 16, 1854. . _ " Gentlemen, I have great pleasure in adding my testimony to the value of your Fireproof Safes. "Lust Monday night my house, warehouse, and premises were unfortunately burned down; the fire raged very fearfully for about two hours, and, owing to the great scarcity of water, the whole of my premises and stock were consumed. "The safe I purchased of you had a most severe test, in conse quence of a barrel of brimstone standing close to it and melting with the heat of the'fire, the burning lava running all over and under the safe, which great'y added to the intensity of the heat; it remained in that position about four hours, and when with great difficulty it was got out of the fire and opened, I found my books and papers ail uninjured. " You are at liberty to make what use you please of this informa tion. " I am, gentlemen, yours respectfully " WM. WALKER. " Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, 47A, Moorgate-street, London." " Agricultural Laboratory, Harpenden, July 6, 1854. " Gentlemen,—l was present at the late fire which destroyed the premises of Mr. Walker, Harpenden, and was much surprised at the great amount of heat your safe resisted, and still more surprised (when it was made known to me that a barrel of sulphur stood near it) that it was not entirely destroyed. " Being anxious to see if it had been attracted by the sulphur, I scraped some of the blistered iron from the inside and outside of the safe, and, from analysis, find much sulphuret, so that it must have been greatly acted upon by the sulphur, yet the books and papers were perfectly uninjured. " I must in justice say that your safes are invaluable, and very necessary for every one who has books and accounts of any value. " I am, Gentlemen, yours very faithfully, " F. W. SIMCOE. "Messrs.

Small, of the third class, to be acting assistant-engineer of the second class RUMOURED RECALL OF ADMIRAL DUNDAS. It is rumoured somewhat confidently that a change is contemplated in the constitution of the Board of Admi ralty, and that in those changes, whatever they may be, it is desired that the business habits and great know ledge of Admiralty routine possessed by the gallant Com mander-in-Chief of the BlackSea,Vice-Admiral Dundas, should be made available to the country. It is also spoken of as contemplated to make the "manning the fleet" a distinct department, converting the "coast vo lunteers" into a class of itself, of which the present Senior Naval Lord, Vice-Admiral Berkeley, would be the head. This would make room for Admiral Dundas. It is in connection with these questions our gallant Port Admiral, Sir William Parker, has been summoned to the Admiralty.—Plymouth Mail. THE GUN-BOATS. WOOLWICH, Aug. 9.—There has been a general im. pression yesterday and to-day, that the new despatcli gun-boats mounted with Lancaster's powerful 68-pounder oval guns will be sent to the Black Sea, as soon as they are ready, instead of the Baltic. It is evident a greater advantage would be gained by sending them to shell Sebastopol, where there would be a large British and French army to assist on the land aide of that fortress. The taking of Aland, and securing a locality for the French troops now in the Baltic, to remain in during the winter, is all that can now be anticipated to take place in the Baltic during the present season, as that sea will soon be again blockaded by the ice, while the navi gation of the Black Sea remained open to the English and French fleets. DEPARTURE OF ADMIRAL STOPFORD. Rear-Admiral the Hon. Montagu Stopford will leave Devonport, per steamer, to join the Black Sea fleet, of which he was appointed captain yesterday. Comman der Eden, who succeeds Admiral Stopford as superinten dent of the dockyard, hoisted his broad pendant on board the Plymouth yacht, on Tuesday. THE MAIDSTONE TRANSPORT. The troop transport-ship Maidstone, Captain Escott, which was in collision off the Start on the 3d inst., and is now under repair in the Devonport dockyard, will probably be ready for sea on Monday the 14th inst. She is bound to the Cape of Good Hope. The brig with which she carne in contact is the Seaton Sluice, from Venice for London, She arrived in the Thames on Sunday, and her master, Mr. W. Robinson, gives the following ac count of the disaster : " When off the Start, August 3, 10 30 p.m., Start Light bearing W. by N., wind at IsT.N.E., our ship lying E., sharp braced up, saw a ship on the lee bow about a point and a half. Ordered our light to be shown. After seeing his intentions, hailed him. Pr — 0 put his helm sport, and struck us 5 feet before the main rigging, doing us con siderable damage, and his bowsprit coming through between our masts, damaging our boat. I asked him re peatedly for his name, but I received no answer. I like wise asked him to attend us with his boat until we know the nature of our damage. Instead of doing so he went away, and left us as soon as we got clear." MILITA.Ry. r \ .

At the conclusion of the in spection, Sir Harry Smith addressed the two regiments in terms most complimentary. The prince also very briefly addressed the officers and men. Si r Harry Smith then called upon the troo p s to give three cheers for the prince. Prussia, he said, was a brave and gal lant nation ; they stood by us at the battle of Waterloo and would stand by us again. Three hearty c h eers were then given for the prince ; also for Sir Harry Smith. At one o'clock the prince and a dist inguished party lunched with Sir Harry and Lady Smith, at the governor's house, Mount Wise. In the evening the prince dined at the eng i neer and artillery mess, and yesterday morning left for London by the South Devon Railway. THE INDIAN ARMY. The following general order, dated Fortwiliiam, M a y 23, has been issued for the information of the army in the East Indies : - " No. 563 of 1554.--The most noble the Governor of India in Council is pleased, with the sanction of the Hon. the Court of Directors, to abolish the system of the off reckoning fund, and to direct that from the Ist of January next the clothing of the army of the three presid enc i es shall be provided at the cost of the State, and that a fixed sum, calculated on the average of the off-reckoning shares for the last 21 years, of which the accounts have been made up, after deducting from the same the amount of in terest or unadjusted balances as included therein, shall be payable to colonels of regiments and others entitled to off reckoning glares under existing raloa, quarterly in Eng. DOCKYARDS. The Royal Dockyard Brigades are to have their new uniform issued, but it is not intended to have any drills this summer, on account of the pressure of the works in hand. It is the intention of the Admiralty to inspect the brigade under arms before the summer is past. The gratuity to deserving foremen of the dockyard has this year been agilin awarded to M r . W eymout h , w h o was the fortuume recipient last year, on the recommen dation of thP, justice-loving master shipwright. Seven 'shipwrights and three calkers' apprentices have been entered on the establishment of Chatham Dockyard. Captain Goodridge, of the Courier, 'Jersey mail steamer, reports the safe arrival of the Victoria and Albert, with the Fairy, Black Eagle, Dasher, and two brigs of war, at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, in the bay at Alderney. The Royal party were afterwards seen driving round the bay. The Lords of the Admiralty have taken up ships for the conveyance of ordnance stores to the Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius, Melbourne, Halifax, St. John's, New Brunswick, Quebec, Montreal, Bermuda, Jamaica, Antigua, Barbadoes, St. Lucia, and Demerara, to pro vide for the defence of those colonies. The Admiralty have ordered that the secretary to the commander-in-chief is to reside in the house lately occu pied by the flag captain on Naval-terrace. This house was originally appropriated, and has been formerly oc cupied, by other secretaries, until of late taken posses sion of by former flag captains serving here. HONG-KONG, June s . —Winchester, 50, flag of Rear- Admiral Sir James Stirling ; Spartan, 26, Captain Sir W.

Soon after leaving this place, how ever, the Spartan carried awa y h er mainyard, and was compelled to put back to refit. She now remains for the protection of the inhabitants against the Russians. Previous to sailing, the admiral ordered the Minden, hospital-ship, to hoist the yellow flag in the event of Russians appearing.—Plymouth Mail. ARMY PRIZE MONEY. The following is the account of unclaimed army prize money, from 18th January, 1809, to 31st December, 1853; directed to be annually laid before the Houses of Parliament by the act 2d William IV., c. 53 : DR. To cash arising from forfeited and un claimed shares or prize money, grants, &c. To cash arising from the dividends or interest of moneys invested in the public funds, or other Government securities Balance (ride memorandum below) Total 244,123 13 8 26,320 13 4i £1,410,45312 9.

Consols 67,8841. 13s. 2d. stock invested on account of army prize money. The existence of this amount of stock in the Three per Cent. Consols, notwithstanding the balance is on the debit side, arises from the investments in the stock having been made when the Funds wore very low, and from the sales thereout, as occasion required, having been from time to time effected when the prices wore considerably higher. A. J. MOORHEAD, Secretary and Registrar. Royal Hospital, Chelsea, August 3, 1854. SECOND COURT-111ARTI4L ON LIEUT. PERRY. ELEVENTH DAY.-WEDNESDAY. The general court-martial appointed to try James Edward Perry, of the 46th Regiment, reassembled in the officers' mess-room, at the Infantry Barracks, Wind sor. Major-General Wetherall. appeared as prosecutor, Brigade-Major Dalgetty officiated as Deputy-Judge - Advocate, and the prisoner was attended by Mr. Darvill as his legal adviser. The court was again densely crowded. The court having been formally opened, the cross examination of Captain Colin Frederick Campbell was about to be resumed, when the following discussion took place : Prisoner—May I request that the last question and answer be read The Deputy-Judge-Advocate—The witness was under cross examination by yourself, the prosecutor having done with him, and your question was—" Where are the letters alluded to ? Answer—l believe they are in the possession of the present adjutant." Prisoner—May I request that they be produced ? The Deputy-Judge-Advocate—You must go on with your cross-examination. The letters are not yet before the court in any tangible shape. Prisoner—Might I ask the prosecutor to produce the letters, they being necessary for my defence ? Major-General Wetherall—lf there was any possible manner in which I could produce the letters, I would do so with pleasure, but I know nothing of the letters. The Deputy-Judge-Advocate—You may call Colonel Garrett, or the Adjutant, or any one else, when the cross-examination of this witness is concluded. But when his examination is concluded he cannot be re called. The prisoner then read the following protest :—" I most respectfully protest against not being allowed fully to cross-examine the witnesses. The difficulty lam thereby placed in is this, that I am not enabled to im peach the testimony of a witness out of his own mouth, but am told I may call witnesses in my defence to do so, which I respectfully submit is opposed to the principles and law of evidence, and places me in a most painful and difficult position, because, in examination in chief, I could not be allowed to put the same searching questions as I am justified and entitled to do in cross-examina tion." Major-General Wetherall—lf the Court thinks it re gular, I will call for the letters. The Court, under the advice of the Deputy Judge- Advocate, agreed to receive the letters if called for by the prosecutor. Adjutant M'Alister was then called, and produced the letters. The court was then cleared. On the readmission of the public, The Deputy Judge-Advocate read the following let ters : MAJOR FYFFE TO COLONEL GARRETT. " Wooden, May. 31, 1854.

" Sir —I have the honour to acknowledg e the receipt of your letter of the 31st ultimo, relative to the misconduct of Lieutenant Perry and Ensign Knapp. " Judging of Lieutenant Perry by his antecedents, I am not surprised at what has occurred ; but I had hoped that o n p a r o n v d offi andc r o f a d m v a u n c e h e d p r i o n m i t se, might, by attention, Ensign Knapp, although not service without animadversion. " The conduct of Lieutenant Perry has been in gross violation of discipline and insolent contempt of your autho rity, and, in my opinion, can only be disposed of by being brought before the cognisance of a court-martial. I may possibly feel it to be my duty to institute the same line of proceeding in Lieutenant Knapp's case, in order to enforce the discipline of the service, which he as well as Lieute nant Perry has set at naught. At all events, I have no doubt I shall be under the necessity of recommending that his expected promotion do not take place. "I will call on Ensign Waldey and his servant to-mor row for a summary of their evidences as to the insolent contempt of authority shown by Lieutenant Perry, as . ro ported by you, and I shall thereon frame charges against him, and forward them to you, in order that he may offer any observations regarding them if ho can, previously to submitting them to the general commanding-in-chief.

" Weedon, Ju, 1 " Sir,—ln reply to th e charges preferred against m 854. e, I have the honour to s t a t e, w i th regard to the first, I was in Ensign Waldey's room, and in a hi c h fl ow o f sp i rits, when Lieut. and Aeting-Adjutant C. Shervinton came in and handed me a memorandum, which, having read, I returned him, but unfortunately forgot the respect due to him as the representative of the commanding officer, and in a moment of excitement (caused by what had taken place previous to his entrance) I committed an offence which, in cooler mo ments, I would, never have been guilty of, and for which I afterwards made such an apology as appeared sufficient to Major Fyffe, and also satisfactory to Lieut. and Acting- Adjutant C. Shervinton. ‘` I may mention, in further extenuation, that I had pre viously been on terms of great intimacy and familiarity with Lieut. Shervinton, and that what I did was merely meant as a joke; and I have no doubt ho would have taken it as such had it not been for the official nature of his communication. " I have the honour to state, with regard to the second charge, that I was orderly officer on the 25th of May, 1851. I visited the hospital between two o'clock and half-past two (which latter was the drill hour), in hopes of being in time for drill, which I would have done had I not been detained at the hospital for several minutes, there being no orderly there to show me round the wards. I afterwards turned out the magazine guard, and visited the sentries. When I arrived in the barrack-square, by the back gate, the men had fallen in, and were drilling under the sergeant major. Seeing I was late, I did not like to fall in, for fear of dis turbing the parade. I then performed my duties as orderly officer, by turning out the barrack-gate guard, visiting the sentries, canteen, etc. " I have nothing further to state in my defence, but throw myself on the generosity of my commanding officer, trusting that through your clemency I may yet have an opportunity of showing my sincere regret for the past, and by my future conduct of proving myself worthy of the leniency extended to me. And I hope you may be induced to look upon the first and more serious charge in its true light, of an unthinking boyish trick - , and not in any way intended as an insult to established authority. " I am now quite aware of the very serious consequences entailed by such an improper action. " Hoping you will extend your mercy, and not enforce the serious measures you have in contemplation, I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient humble servant, " J. E. PERRY, Liout. 46th Regiment. " To the Officer commanding 46th Regt., Windsor." MEMORANDUM FOR MAJOR FYFFE. " The statement of Lieutenant Perry as to the contempt shown by him to Major Fyffe's authority is not satisfac tory. Neither is it with regard to his absence from parade on the 25th of May. " The contempt shown by him was in the presence of a private of the regiment, and the impression on the mind of the commanding officer is, that it was designed, wilful, and premeditated. The offence, however, consists in the animus under which it took place, and the commanding officer must be satisfied by other statements than those of Lieutenant Perry that it was an unintentional and thoughtless over sight. Lieut. Perry's acts are a tissue of opposition to the authority of his commanding officer, and cannot be allowed to pass. Ho has stated his wish to serve else where, but the commanding officer cannot give any opinion as to his so doing, and thus escaping an ordeal which his conduct asks fur, until ho has shown by other statements than his own that his acts wore the result of thoughtless ness and inadvertence.

And if Major Fyffe is satisfied to allow it not ad from to go before the authorities, he may, the subalterns, admonish Lieut. Perry, and caution him a gainst the repetition of such unofscer-like future,epPat and conduct, and also on the danger of absenting anci in nlnds of both of himself p his duties and misconduct while at drill or "It will be necessary to admonish Ensi g n ? . same time, and also to impress upon the them that must be very circumspect not expect any indulgences, or other consideration, until their future conduct shall induce the commanding-officer t o consider they have become de serv i ng of it.

Sin,—The readiness with which your pages are opened to anything bearing on the interests of political reform, induces me to think you will see the opportunity of doing service by publishing the following remarks on the subject of the suspended boroughs. If I apply to the case with which I happen to be best acquainted, it will not be contrary to any rule of philosophy that I am aware of. It is for the concerned to inquire how far the brick is a specimen of the house. The borough with which I am acquainted is Hull. In the evil days of English history, it was a city set upon a bill. It afterwards lost caste, and for many years was deep in the degradation of the times. At the Reform Bill its character was retrieved ; in which I was art and part to the extent of being laid down and robbed at the door of the House of Commons, to the amount of many thousand pounds. One useful result was, that the taking up of freedoms by what were denominated the "old freemen" was virtually abandoned on all sides, there being no probability of profit in repayment of the cost. Success of course had depended on the union of what for shortness shall be called Whigs and Radicals. If either of these terms is hereafter used in connexion with disgraceful acts, I beg to protest against intending any unjustifiable imputation ; and the great Whig body has it always in its power to clear itself by actions of any disreputable complicity. Success on subsequent occasions depended on the same union. A candidate appeared, who called himself a Whig. He came to me of his own accord, and invited me to enter into an engagement with him, that if any dispute arose between our respective friends or followers, the first who knew it should communicate with the other, in order that ho might use his personal influence to put it down. Of course so rational a treaty was im- mediately ratified. The locality was Market Place East flags, two-thirds of the way from the Whig hostelry which was the Cross Keys, to mine which was the Kingston. Like justices in an affiliation case, I love to be particular. Some short time afterwards a very paltry dispute arose, which I could have settled in half an hour if the compact with me had been kept. Some of my friends spoke perhaps boastinely of their strength. Instead of applying to me, the Whig candidate said to them, "What is your strength? I hear you have a list. Show me your list." The Radicals answered, that if they had a list, it was only for themselves. The Whig replied, " I know your list is only two hundred. Now I will go and pay for two hundred new freedoms, and then I will defy your list." And he went or sent accordingly, with two hundred golden sovereigns at one time and a hun dred at another, and openly offered to buy any man his freedom who would sign a promise to vote as a named individual should direct. And the two hundred pro mises were produced accordingly. He thought to steal a march on the Conservatives by going into the market on the last day appointed for taking up freedoms. But the Conservatives showed cause for demanding a week's extension ; and so they had time to purchase as many as they liked in turn. The Conservatives must be " ble they were very wrong ;" but the deed was totally of the Whig's inventing, originating, and setting in motion. For authentication of all these operations on the market, reference may be made to the reports of the commission ers, and the proceedings of a public meeting of the con stituency I called to take cognisance of the facts, and which may be found in the Hull papers of about the 31st of August, 1839. In some very unbecoming correspondence with me which was brought before this public meeting, the Whig complained bitterly that my friends should have a list he did not see. I wonder he did not complain there was not a community of wives. And why did he do all the damage to me and to the constituency which followed, in the teeth of his volunteerrd engagement to communi cate with me! I could have put it all down by return of post. To this act of his is owing all the misery and defeat which followed, and it will not be the fault of his supporters if it does not end in the disfranchisement of the town. Aud this was followed up. In Commissioner Flood's report, lately laid on the table of the House of Commons, I find the following passage : " -- and it appears to me certain that it is to the un compromising opposition of Colonel Thompson to all impro per practices, and to his own (Mr. Clay's) acquiescence in them anti belief that they were necessary to the success either of himself or of any other candidate professing simi lar political opinions, that Mr. Clay alludes when declining in January, 1847, to come forward as a candidate while Hull is `hampered by Colonel Thompson, who makes it impossible for any reformer to have a chance.'"—Commis sioner Flood's Report. Here, then, because I refused to engage in practioes which would justly have expelled me from the society o gentlemen, and warranted the exertion of the summary power residing in the Crown for the purification of the Army List, I am found held up as the man who "ham pers Hull " and "makes it impossible for any reformer to have a chance." These are your reformers ; I was in the way, was I, as the man walking on one side the street is in the way of the man upon the other This cancels all condonations. If there is anybody in the country who honestly uses the word Reform, there is matter for him to think upon at leisure. Thus then stands the actual case. The author and originator of the town's disgrace and all the mischief is unseated, as he ought to be, by a com mittee of the House of Commons. His friends stand by him, and one association, I am sorry to say of the working classes, declares he is "endeared to them by ten thousand ties." I doubt whether it ever amounted to ten thousand. The Whigs (or so they call themselves) stick to him, and declare through their organ in the press, that they will support nobody but his nominee. I was asked if I would be that nominee, with an under standing to make way for the father of bribery when he is re-eligible. And I replied—(it was a rugged speech, but I hope no honest person was damaged by it)—that I would as soon think of selling my daughter for a concu bine at New Orleans. The recommendation to this pleasant succession comes endorsed from the 'Reform Club. It is to help bribers out of the consequences of their deeds that this institution rears its head in Pall mall. I wonder an honourable profession, in which I have a right to take some interest, should see its member unwarned, putting himself into a bed which has been qualified in the rough terms described. If the other boroughs were looked into, the same kind of things would be found ; and the public let sons from the whqle are many and important. I mu, upon the unrepresented to wake o u t o f al?
