A LAMENT FOR THE LOSS OF COL JONES'S WHISKERS. " Buffer Jones, well known for his whiskers and his Radical ism (both which created such a sensation at the memorable Re form Meeting in St. John's Wood last May, when the Buffer threatened to throw all the ant.-Reformers into hysterics, by simply buttoning up his breeches-pockets and looking at them), has, we understand, now that the danger is past, shaved off his tremendous whiskers."—Sunday Paper. Is it true, thou best of men, London's fiercest citizen, Whom the " Age," grown gruff and gruffer, Shamefully nicknames " The Buffer," And our Tory placemen all Shuddered at as " Radical," When last year thou spakest of slaughter, Like the Antwerp monster mortar, Or Bombastes Furioso (Who, compared with thee, 's but so-so) Till thy very whiskers stood StifFas pikes, portending blood; Bolt-upright, in grimmest fashion, Like a cat's tail in a passion ; While each wondering urchin cried, To the fellow at his side, " There's old Colonel Jones, odzooks ! How uncommon fierce he looks I" Is it true, or is't a scoff, Thou hast shaved those whiskers off? Heaven forbid ! for how shall we Henceforth Tory tyranny Palsy—petrify to stone, When our Gorgon's Head is gone?* 'Tis to thee Reform we owe, Thy black whiskers frightened so, With their grim, ferocious twirl, Tory Bishop, Duke, and Earl ; Thus the Philistines of old Bowed the knee to Sampson bold, Scared by his tremendous stare, And the horrors of his hair! But since thou hast burked each whisker, Tory pluck is growing brisker; Quick, then, Colonel Jones, restore them, England's tyrants quail before them ; Quick, and let them (as would cry Poulett Thomson) " fructify !" - t" Hadst thou haply been unshorn When that sickly Bill was born, To put out, like candle-wicks, Ten fat Irish Bishoprics, Whigs and Tories, scared by thy Fierce, bewhiskered majesty, As it blazed forth in terrorem Like a threatening comet o'er them, Bishops had snuffed out in plenty, Twelve, or peradventure twenty ! Quick, my Jones, for Britain's gain, Let thy whiskers grow again, And when they're full-fledged, oh then, Just look in, thou best of men, On our Leicester Aldermen, And full sure am I, that they Will, from sheer affright, display Bright example to the nation, And reform their Corporation. First of men ! our Duke, 'tis said, Wins his victories by his head, But thy plan is easier, brisker, Conquering not by wit, but whisker ! ! • An allusion to the old Greek fable of the Gorgon's Head, which was covered all over with snakes by way of hairs, and had the power of frightening all whom it looked upon into stones. -l- Vide Mr. Poulett Thomson's speech on the " fructifying powers" of a deficient revenue.

An article entitled " Prospects of Jamaica" appears in the Courant of the sth ult., containing some official returns and calculations, the object of which is to show that there will be a considerable balance in favour of the colony under the free labour system. The calculations appear to be curious in themselves, and the putting them forth at this time is not a little remarkable, in showing the altered state of feeling in the island since the Govern ment propositions have become known. The following are the tables referred to:— Currency. 90,758 hhds. of sugar, of 15 £ s. d £ a. d. cwt. each, at 15/. each 31,969 puns. of rum, of 110 gal lons each, at 71 223,783 0 0 15,000 tierces of coffee, at 201 300,000 0 0 25,000 bags of pimento, 11.

The deceased, who was in the employ of Messrs. Dunkin and Weston, the civil engineers, recently commenced a life of dissipation, and neglected his family. His mother, hearing of this, repaired to his lodgings one ❑ight, and pointed out to him the consequences of such conduct. He seemed somewhat penitent ; but the next morning he was found lying dead in bed, with a laudanum bottle near him. Verdict—Temporary Insanity. THE MURDER AT LOUGHBOROUGH. — The two men taken into custody some time ago, for the murder of Elizabeth Thurman, a girl about 11 years of age, but against whom the Grand Jury threw out the bill at the last assizes, have again been apprehended on the evidence of a female, who has since stated she Saw the deed counnitted.--Leicester Herald. COURT CIRCUL AR. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND went to Windsor yesterday, and returned in the evening to their residence at Kew, where their R•.yal Highnesses entertained a select prrty at dinne-. The Prussian and Belgic Ministers, and General GOB LET, the Belgic Special Minister, had interviews yesterday afternoon with Viscount PALMERSTON, at the Foreign office. 111. DEDEL, the Dutch Special Minister, accompanied by his brother, visited some of the Foreign Ministers yesterday. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, and Prince George, are ex pected to leave town on Tuesday next. The Countess of Antrim will give a petite soiree this evening. Count Donhoff, the Prussian Secretary of Legation, is shortly expected in town, from Berlin. The Earl and Countess of Jersey's departure is still unsettled. All that is determined upon is, to pay a visit to the Prince Talleyrand, at his marine villa in France, in the first instance. Lord and Lady Lyndhurst and family are about to pay a short visit to the Continent. They were to have embarked at Brighton for Dieppe the day before yesterday. His Lordship intends to remain in France until his judicial duties call him back to London. The Earl of Albemarle will give a grand entertainment this day, at the Stud House, Hampton Court, to the King and Queen. The fruit on the table is a present from the Duke of Norfolk; it was brought from the matchless gardens of Arundel Castle. We are informed that Colonel Evans's visit to Portugal is not in any way connected with the affairs of that country. He is gone to Lisbon on an invitation sect to him by Admiral Napier, to spend two or three weeks there. The Colonel and the Gallant Napier are intimate friends. Dr. Lushington has given it as his opinion, that missionary meetings, held in churches without au thority from the Crown or the Diocesan, are illegal. The assertion that Lady Wellesley will not accompany the Marquis to Ireland is altogether false. She comes to this city to be, even in the opinion of her hus h ind's calumniators, the grace and ornament of the Vice regal Court.—Dublin Evening Post. SMALL DONATIONS.—In a collection at the door of Salisbury Cathedral for the benefit of the county infirmary, amounting to between 601. and '701., there were no less than thirty-two farthings. J. Burrell, Esq., of the Northern Circuit, has been appointed a Police Magistrate at Queen-squire, in the room of the late G. W. Marriott, EQq. The Rev. Thomas Page, M.A. of Oxford, has been appointed Minister of St. Paul's, Cheltenham, in the room of the Rev. Sir Henry Thompson, Bart., re signed. Patron, the Rev. F. Close, M. A. The Chief Judge of the Court of Bankruptcy and his Deputy Registrar and Usher ate returned to town to resume their official duties. The Sheriffs elect will give their grand inau guration dinner on Monday next, at the London Tavern. That part of the British Museum which has been shut during the month will be re-opened on Wed nesday next for the admission of the public. The magnificent domains at Beau Dessert, we hear, are to be sold. The Magistrate who is a dealer in black dia monds seems to have considered that committing an assault in a police office was only carrying coals to Newcastle. KEAN.—Oxberry used to assert that Kean's first display in public, after his infantine performances at Drury lane, was at Bartholomew fair, where be represented a monkey. We understand that Mr. F. B. Titular, the late manager of the Queen's, and Mr. Davidge, have en gaged Miss Ju:ien Dunbar, who became so great a fa vourite at the Queen's and City Theatres a short time since. bliss Shirreff is returned to town after a most successful debut at Cork. Her benefit was a bumper, and she received some handsome presents from several respect able families. We understand she is engaged at Covent garden theatre at a liberal salary. Lieut.-Colonel Clayton, M.l'., and Benjamin Hawes, Esq., 751. P., waited on Lord Palmerston yester- day, to pi esent a memorial from the British residents at Boulogne, representing the inhumanity of the French sa natot y laws, and requesting his Lordship's interference, as the lives of British subjects may be lost by the execution of these laws iR all cases of shipwreck. Lord Crofton, who is about to marry a daughter of the Marquis of Anglesea, is son of the late Sir Edward Crofton, Bart., whnse death, under melan choly circumstances, occurred in 1816, and whose large estates and mansion at Mote, in the county of Roscommon, he inherited. In 1817 he succeeded his grandmother as heir-apparent to the Irish Barony. Lord Crofton is i❑ his 27th year. He was for some time a Captain in the 7th Hussars, and is nephew of the Earl of Galloway and the Countess of Enniskillen. Considerable uneasiness has been created in the various branches of the Paget family by the reported death of Lord William Paget, at Vera Cruz, who is stated iu a Jamaica paper to have been shot by a sentinel. From inquiries we have made, we believe the report admits of considerable doubt, but the next arrival from that quarter must he awaited with considerable anxiety by the numerous relaives of the family. The melancholy death of Mr. Rowcroft, the British Consul, some years ago, is brought to mind by this report. • The lady of Sir William Rae, the newly elected M.P. for the county of Bute, in the place of Capt. Charles Stuart (nephew to Lord Stuart de Rothsay), is in the enjoyment of a pension on the English Civil List, of 6601. per annum, which she has received since the Right Hon. Baronet retired from the office of Lord Advocate of Scotland, in Nov., 1830. The reason assigned for making ow this warrant of pension was, that Sir William lost his practice, that he gave up the office of Sheriff Depute, worth 6001. a year, and that as a seat in Parliament is essential to the Lord Advocate fir the time being, he was put to considerable expense in procuring it. An order has been made by the Board of Customs fur the discharge of the I.d Hunter, who was sentenced to serve for five years on board a King's ship for endeavouring to bring on shore a few cheroots from the Lotus East Indianian. THE MINISTERS.—Most of the Ministers of the Cabinet are now at extreme points of the empire ; and two of them, namely Lord Auckland and Mr. C. Grant, are tnaking a tour on the Continent ; the list mentioned Right Hon. Gentleman is at present at Brus sels. Lord John Russell is gone to Ireland on official business, relating, we believe, to reductions in his de partmen'. Sir James Graham and his colleagues have taken their departure from Milford Haven for the Cove of Cork. Viscount Altborp is visiting his :'o►k•hire est ate, Wiseton, near Doncaster, bequeathed to him by the late Lady Althorp (before her marriage Miss Acklani); thence he proceeds to Althorp Park, to be ready fur phea sant shooting. The E irl of Ripon is expected at Wrist, the seat of Earl de Grey, to be present at the nupti Ils of Lady Anne de Grey with Viscount Furdwich. The Duke of Richmond, Viscounts Melbourne and Palmerston, and Mr. Secretary Stanley, who arrived yesterday, are ill town. Earl Grey remains at Hosvick Hall in Northum berland. Mr. Littleton, the Irish Secretary, is in the 43d year of his age. lie is the only so❑ of Culone' Moreton Walhouse, of Hatherton, in Staffordshire, and at the exact age of 21 succeeded his grand uncle, Sir Edward Littleton, Bart., in his large property in that county, and also to its representation in Parliament. Mr. Littleton soon after married Miss Welles ey, the daughter of the Marquis and of the late Marchioness Wellesley. By her he has one son, now at Christ Church : and his second daughter was united last year to Lord Newark, the eldest son of the Earl Manvers. Mr. Littleton is a gentleman of highly estimable private character, and is equally beloved in private life as he is respected in public. As a country gentleman he has uniformly obtained the good opinion and affection of his neighbours, and is ever active in furthering the prosperity of those who seek his assistance. Mr. Lit tleton is a keen sportsman, and was a few years since the master of a pack of stag-hounds which were considered the best and swiftest in England. According to a letter from Dr. Clot-Bey, the Viceroy of Egypt has called him to Alexandria, to or ganise the sanatory service of his navy. This service is to be separated from that of the army. A Board of Health and a School of Medicine for the navy will be established in that town, upon the French system, which is to be strictly followed. The young Egyptians who have been edu- I cated in Prance are being gradually appointed to places in public establ shinvnts ; the Sheik Refill], Professor at the School of Artillery at Tourah ; Ahmed Youssouf, one of those who studied chymistry, is placed at the Mint ; Artyn.Effendi and E,tefan Effendi, who studied almini • stration in France, are attached to the War Department, where their knowledge and talents are appreciated. Those who studied agriculture have been sent to the Garden of Chobra, where they will be able to apply and develop their knowledge. A new Treatise on Anatomy, and a Guide fur military surgeons,have been translated into Arabic and printed, and two other works are to be published very shortly. Marshal Maison has returned to Paris from the north, where he bad been despatched to watch over the movements of the Sovereigns He had, it is affirmed, several long private interviews with the King of Prussia, in the course of which the admission was made by that Monarch that he considered a Congress at this time most inopportune, and more likely to stir up political discontent than to quiet it, and that he wholly disapproved of the proceeding, to which he yielded solely at the repeated and pressing instances of the Emperor of Russia. There is a very firm conviction, therefore, in the best political circles in Paris, that the King of Prussia will not lend his aid to any of the wild ambitious projects of the Autocrat. The line of level of the road from Brighton to Shoreham was taken last week for the purpose of form ing a railroad. OMNIPOTENCE OF THE REFORMED HOUSE OF ComstoNs.—An Act of Parliament passed on th e 14th of August last, enacts that its provisions shall take effect from and after the Ist of April next preceding. Wednesday Jacques Bory, the noted Chouan Chief, distinguished by the title of the Capitaine Noir, was executed at Parthenay, Deux Sevres, for the murder Of M. Ravin, Mayor of Lhoumoy. At all times it is individuals (says Goethe), and not the age, which have influenced knowledge. It was his age which poisoned Socrates, his age which con demned Huss to the stake. Ages have always been alike. A watchman, of the name of Sparks, was nearly beaten to death with a poker by four young men at Birmingham, on Saturday.— Wolverhampton Ci~ronicle. The Bermuda Gazette notices the death, at sea, on board a vessel bound to those Islands, of the Hon. Thomas Frankland, member of the Court of Policy of Demerara. According to accounts from Valenciennes, the harvest in that neighbourhood has been so abundant that, with the corn previously in btore, there is sufficient provision for the population of that patt of the country for three years. We are happy to learn by further arrivals from Davis' Straits that the whale fishing continues to be uncommonly successful. As yet we have only heard of one loss this season, namely, the Ingria, of Hull.— Glasgow Courier. The number of dairy cows kept in Cheshire is calculated at about 92,000 ; and averaging the quan tity of cheese made annually from each cow at 21 cwt., it will appear that the amazing quantity of 11,500 tons of cheese are made every year in that county. Upwards of 400 votes have been objected to in Southampton, the whole of them Reformers. Sub scriptions have been entered into to provide them with competent professional assistance.—Salisbury Journal. At the Court of Revising Barristers for Lan caster, held on Thursday last at the Town Hall, the following numbers were settled by the Barrister as the electors for Members of Parliament for Lancaster, viz , freemen resident within seve❑ miles of the Town 11 11, 95S ; ten pound occupiers, 254 ; total, I,2l2.—Lan caster Gazette. If it were generally known (says Count Rumford) how little trouble and bow little expense are required to do much good, the heartfelt satisfaction which arises from relieving the wants and promo►ing the hap• piness of our fellow-creatures is so great, that I am per suaded acts of the most essential charity would be much more frequent, and the mass of misery among mankind would be consequently much lessened. TUSCANY SHEEP.—On the 9th August, a ewe, at Crawfurd Priory, of the Tuscany breed, had one lamb. She had twin lambs last spring, and was one of two imported from Italy about three years ago by the Right Hon. Lady Mary Lindsay Crawford. They have had lambs regularly twice a year since. Their great fecundity, and the fineness of their fleeces, render this kind of sheep an object of great importance to the agri• culturist.—Fifeshire Journal. A NEGRO FANCY BALL IN JAMAICA.— A free Black Fancy Ball took place on Thursday night last at Mr. Morrell's Long-room in Church -street, King ston. Carriages, chaises, &c., began to arrive about nine o'clock, and the assemblage, about ten, struck us as ex ceedingly pleasing and picturesque. There were Spanish Dons and Djnnas, Italian Princes and Princesses, French Counts and Countesses, Naval and Military Officers represented to the life, and with all the grace and elegance of the Almack-school. The representatives of the Countess of .Mulgrave and Lady Rowe sustained their characters with dignity,. The person who was specially invited to represent Lord Mulgrave was absent through indisposition. The ladies' dresses were rich, fanciful, and beautiful. The group looked like the sons and daughters of jollity and revelry, and gave de lightful specimens that they were the children of harmony too. A splendid supper was served up at about three o'clock in the morning, and imthing could exceed the gallantry of the gentlemen during the entire night. All was pleasure to the brim, and all was joy and delight. he dancing was kept up till a late hour, and the daugh ters of Terpsichore resembled so many sylvan Goddesses, tripping it along on " light fantastic toe.—Jamaica Dispatch, Aug. 3. _ _ . . ... It appears by letters recei d thi from P ar i s th a t th e ex p ec t e d re d uc ti on o f th e Fr e nch army ve s morning will not, after all, take place during the present year. The account of the affair now given is this:—There had oc. curred, as is well known, during the last session, great dif ferences of opinion in the French Cabinet, the inconve niences of which, however, were prevented from tecoming manifest by the personal influence and good management of the King. One of the points in contest among the Ministers was, whether the usual supplementary votes of credit should be asked for from the Chamber of Deputies, which some of them were averse to, because they believed that an improper use world be made of them by other members of the Cabinet ; and accordingly, when the war estimates were veLed, some promise was made that such credit would not he requited, but, on the contrary, that considerable reductions would be made in the expenditure of the War Department. Marshal Soult, however, the head of that department, instead of facilitating such reduc tions, pressed for more money, and the usual application of the supplementary votes of credit. This was at first strongly resisted, particularly by M. Hamann, the Minister of Finance, who urged his pledge to the Chamber, and refused any additicual supply. After a severe contest, however, the Marshal carried his point ; it was decided that an Ordonnance Royale should be published legulating rn n tih : e with highly the extra credit, and consequen tly th at no re d uct i on o f the army or of its expe n dit ure s h ou ld ta k e p l ace i n the present year. LONGEVITY.—There i s at present res idi ng in Cochran -stre e t, i n Gl asgow, a woman who has attained the surpri s i ng age of 107 years. Her maiden name is Elizabeth M oore , b ut she i s better known as ..Granny M`Donald" in th e ne i g hb our h ood in which she resides.

For many years, however, she has lived in a state of deep poverty, entirely dependent upon the support of the charitable and humane. She is still able to walk out when assisted, and occasionally visits in this way her benevolent friends. Her hearing is as quick as ever it was. Her appearance is always cleanly and neat, and an air of respectability is thrown around her, seldom observable in persons in the situation she now occupies.-- Glasgow Argus. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The following is an account of the sport : Mr. Bond's Baronet Mr. Giflin's Lady Louisa I I st. lOlbs. Once round and a distance. Baronet took the lead, closely followed by Louisa until within a few yards of the distance, when Louisa passed hies ; but Bironet (who was cleverly jockeyed by Mr. Cates) regained his position, and won by two lenghts.

Mr. Cass's King William agst Mr. Hobbs's Sultan. King William • 1 Sultan Any weight. Gentlemen riders. This was a sharp race. King William took the lead, but was several times passed by Sultan, and, after a severe contest, the latter was beaten by only half a head. King William was rode in excellent style by his owner, who is both deaf and dumb. Stveral pony races followed, and created much amuse ment. KIRKALDY RACES. Our races commenced on the 9th, and the sport wa such as to gratify all. Although we have been present a many racing meetings %se have seldom seen any, of a loca nature, more numerously and fashionably attended. Th whole of the line of the rising ground, along the beach for more than a mile, was crowded with carriages of almost every description, and equestrians awl pedestrians of all ages and sexes. There could not be fewer than 10,000 spectators on Thursday. On Friday, however, the attend ance was not so numerous. Among the Nobility and Gentry present were observed the Earl and Countess of Bathes, Lord Loughborough, Lady Emma Wemyss and the lion. Captain Hay, Colonel and Lady Isabella Wemyss, the Hon. Frederick and James Bruce, Sir John and Lady Oswald and family, General Balfiur, Lady, and family. Sir Robert Mowbray, James Balfour, E.q , M.P., and the Misses Balfour, John Pratt, Esq., of Glentarkie, &c. The Judges were General Balfour, Captain Rhind, and H Fergus, Esq , and their office was no sinecure, for several protests were taken and objections raised ; but the promptitude of their decisions, we understand, gave gene ral satisfaction. We feel convinced, from the eclat with which these have gone off, that next season a still better turn-out and increased amusement will follow as natural consequences.—Fifeshire Journal. lIUN TIN G APPOINTMENTS. The Brighton hairier, will take the field regularly thrice a week. The regular appointments have not been made, but the harriers have then out several times, draw ing the covers, and on more than one occasion afforded good sport. On Monday they found three hares, each of which led the hounds at a brisk pace for about half an hour, but were ultimately captured. The pack is is fine condition. Hares are plentiful ; and should the weather prove favourable, nothing can well retard the sport. It is said that the west end of the town was never so absolutely forsaken as it is at this time at any period during the present century. BOROUGH OF DUDLEY-SIR JOlll4 CAMPBELL. SEPT. 25.—The borough of Dudley has Leen visited this week by its first reform represents ye. The Solicitor-General, Sir John Campbell, on Mon day last, intended to enter the town privately, but intelligence of his visit had been circulated, and as he entered the town he was recognised, his horses taken from his carriage, and he was drawn by the populace to his hotel in the market-place. Here a large assemblage of the inhabitants of all classes was speedily collected, and Sir John was calle.l upon to address them. He mounted the ba it:ntie-seat of his carriage, and spoke at great length, arid was received with much applause. He said he willingly obeyed the call to address them, for he had come to render them an account of his conduct as their representative in Parliament. The inhabitants of Dudley, after a glorious struggle, having regained the elective franchise, of which for many centuries t hey had been most unjustly deprived, had deputed him to assert their rights and to defend their interests in the Legislature. He did not consider himself their slave, liar their mere delegate or agent, to vote as they in structed him. When he first offered himself as a candidate, he had refused to give any specific pledges, thinking that upon a full exposition of his political principles, and with his public character, it was for them to determine whether l►e was worthy to represent them. But they had now an undoubted tight to judge whether he had acted upon the prin ciples which he professed, and whether he still merited their confidence. There ought to be the closest intimacy and the most unreserved interchange of sentiments between representative and constitu ents. The times had gone by when a Member of the House of Commons never visited the borough he sat for, from the time the return was sealed, and he paid the price of his seat to the proprietor. For himself, he considered it his duty to meet his con stituents from time to time, and to be ready to explain and to defend every vote that he had given, and every opinion that he had - expressed, and to learn from his constituents their views both upon die past and the future proceedings of the legislature. Sir John then gave a sketch of the part he had taken in the House of Commons during the last session. lie took credit to himself for the diligence of his attendance at the sacrifice of comfort, health, and professional profit. He explained the various Bills lie had introduced and carried for the amendment of the law,particularly those by which men were now quietly in the possession of their estates after twenty years' enjoyment; by which a father may now inherit the estate of his son, and a brother that of his brother, though of the half blood, instead of its escheating to the lord of the manor; that the conveyance of real property was now rendered simple and cheap by abolishing fines and recoveries; and that the King may direct the judges, after finishing the business of the western division of the county. at Worcester, to transfer the assizes to Dud ley, that justice might be brought home to the doors of the inhabitants. He then took a gene ral view of the proceedings of the session. He particularly congratulated his Quaker constituents, that by the powerful co-operation of the Society of Ft tends, negro slavery had been practically abolished. He hailed this event as a great epoch in the history of the human race, as there was every reason to hope that after the glorious example set by this country, slavery ere long would be abolished throughout the whole world. He allowed that the Irish Coercion Bill was justly unpopular, for it was a most unconstitutional measure, and could only b e defended on the plea of dire necessity; but it had successfully and leniently worked, and though the extraordinary powers vested in the Government had not been enforced, Ireland, from being a scene of devastation and bloodshed, was now comparatively as quiet and orderly as any part of the empire. This period of tranquillity, he hoped, would be employed in removing many real grievances of which that ill governed country had to complain; the patient being bound, the cure must be effected. In speaking of the abolition of ves - ry cess in Ireland, he said, as representative of Dudley, where there were so many who dissented from the established church, that he hoped this was an omen of the abolition of church rates in England. lie considered the payment of church rates clearly distinguishable from tithes, church rates being a tax, and tithes property never purchased by the owner of the land subject to them. But a Dissenter who contributes a part of his sub stance to the repair of the parish church, or the sa lary of the organist, is compelled to pay for the support of a worship of which he does not approve. But although this law appeared to him to be unequal, until it was altered it ought to be obeyed. All resistance to the law, active or passive, he must unequivocally condemn. Petition Parliament, send thither thosewho theythought wouldassert their rights; by legal and constitutional means all grievances would be redressed, but confusion and anarchy must arise if individuals, according to their caprice or interest, set up their private judgments against the law of the land. Having pointed out the advantages to Ireland from the Grand Jury Bill, by which so much cor rupt jobbing would be prevented, and the Petty Jury Bill, which would for ever put an end to the packing of juries, and establish an impartial and un suspected tribunal, alike for the Catholic and the Protestant, he proceeded to show how much had been done for Scotland by the Scotch Corporation Bill abolishing the self-elected oligarchies that had long oppressed and defrauded the cities and towns in that country, and giving the inhabitants the power of electing their orvn magistrates and managing their own affairs. He was glad to hear that the Cor poration Bill, laid on the table of die House of Lords at the close of the session, for the government of the new boroughs on which the elective franchise had been recently conferred, was so much approved of in Dudley ; when passed into a law he had no doubt that the administration of justice under it would be pure, impartial, and satisfactory, and would produce a growing attachment to the insti tutions of the country. He said this, and various other measures for the public good, would be brought forward as soon as Parliament re-assembled. He trusted that the House of Peers would be found more liberal and flexible, and that obstacles which had hitherto impeded the march of improvement would be removed, He was glad to think that as yet there had been no clashing between his futic- tions as a representative of the people and as an officer of the Crown. The prerogatives of the Crown had been established for the good of the people, arid for the good of the people they ought to be preserved and enforced. It was under a a King, the lover of his people, that liberty was best enjoyed, and it was bare justice to declare that no Sovereign that ever reigned in England had given sanction to so many laws for restoring and extending the r.ghts of the subject as the British Monarch whom he had the honour to serve. Mr. HILL and Mr. C. TwAMLEY followed, er:' - cizing the proceedings of the House of Commons, but upon the whole warmly approving. The latter gentleman concluded by putting it to the vote whe ther Sir John Campbell and the first session of the reformed Parliament merited the approbation of the inhabitants of Dudley. There was a great show of hands, as upon Sir John Campbell's nomination ; and when the contrary was put, not a hand was held up. Three cheers were then proposed for Sir John Campbell, which were given with enthusiasm, and the crowd quietly dispersed. Since then Sir John Campbell has met large bo dies of the electors at various taverns in the 1 0, and exchanged expl ana ti ons w i t h t h e m, gene rall y with mutual satisfaction. STATISTICAL. and has had four wives mention of an old gentleman who is father of 27 chit lis:eeliman3ped'aplatesort dren, and was married to his fifth wife in May last.
