SlR,—The degrading effect of the present system of Poor LAws, evinced in the shameless manner in which the la %tiring classes resort to parish relief, has been the fee ;l.aent subject of remark. To overcome this want of by attaching some degree of stigma to the state of Pauperism, it has, I believe, been suggested that every Parson receiving parish relief should, for the time being, Rear a badge. This, I think, would be very proper ; but, to make it all classes of paupers, high as well as low, should be 'Oeluded. 1 would, tberefore, suggest, that every person r eceiving pay, pension, or sinecure from the country, whe ther civil or military, should be compelled to wear a uni form, distinguishing the ac tive from the retired officers, and that they should carry on their arms a stripe for every 'inadred pounds of the said pay or pension. These stripes would at once shoiv the rank in the ser - lite of the person hearing them, if actively employed, or the supposed degree of the service for which he is receiv lug reward, if unemployed. Now, it is clear, that if a man had deserved his pen lion, be would be proud of his stripes, those being an index of his services ; and, if undeservei, they would ex- Pose him to the odium attached to a State pauper. I would also apply this to the Clergy of the Established Church, who should wear bands marked with the number of their pluralities, and stripes proportioned to the amount Of their livings. What an edifying sight it would be to tee one of these stall.fed Dignitaries perched in the pulpit, With his triple band pendant from the ample folds of bis double chin, pointing to Heaven with his twenty-striped trm; and preaching abstinence to the text of the " Camel and the Needles' Eye !" For my part, as a half-pay officer, I have not the least objection to wear the unifortns and stripes, having, in the Words of the song, " seen a little service." I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, Lymington, Dec. 15, 1833. TOM TOUGH. Mr. O'Connell has addressed a second letter to the Radicals of Hull on the subject of Mr. Hill's late charges against some Irish member, in which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman says, " he (Mr. Hill) invented this story ; it is an entire fabrication of his own."

CASE OF LIBEL AGAINST A CATHOLIC CLEanvstarr.—ln the Dublin Court of Exchequer on Wednesday, an action of libel was brought by the Rev. S. C. Lyons, a Catholic priest, of Ennis, against Major Bi ng ham (a Protestant), William Bingham, his son, and Patrick Lavelle, a driver on Major Bingham's estate. — Mr. O'Connell, the plaintiff's counsel, said that the Major and his son were embittered against the plaintiff, because, when there was a famine and great distress in Ennis, in 1831, the plaintiff was the means of showing that Major Bingham had not contributed a single farthing to the relief of his poor tenants, and be was, in consequence, struck off the Committee of Relief. The libel was published in the Mayo Con -1 V i tu tion, in the form of a memorial to the Roman Catho- I lie Archbishop of Tuam, and it charged the plaintiff with tyranny towards his parishioners, extorting money from them for christenings, &c., and representing him as a clergyman in whom no confidence could be placed. It even charged him with betraying the secrets of the con -1 fessionah Mr. O'Connell, in the course of his speech, made some severe ob'ervations on Lavelle, who rose up in I the Court, and exclaimed, " you ought not to say a word against me, Mr. O'Connell, for I often paid the rent." Mr. O'Connell --There, my Lord, is one of the defendants, ! see what a creature he is ;he actually thinks he is not in your Lordship's Court, but in Major Bingham's.— ' (Laughter.) Mr. Bennett—He saes he has often paid rent to you. Mr. O'Connell —Oh th ! at is the taunting joke of every blackguard, whether in a good coat or bad one. Witnesses were called to substantiate the plaintiff's case, and the Court adjourned till next morning. THE STATUTE BOOK.—ln the last Session of Parliament one hundred and six new Acts M ere added to the Statute Book, firming a ponderous volume of one th o usand three hundred and fifty -two pages ! In the first six months of the Session only 46 of these Acts received the Royal A ssent ; but in the last two days of the Session, .+ name l y , the pith at,d 29th August, the Royal Assent was ' given to no fewer than GO Acts, or about three-fifths of the whole. Besides the public Acts, there were 122 local and personal Acts passed, and 43 private Acts, making a total o f 271 as Acts of Parliament for the study of the lawyers. CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION INQUIRY. Pursuant to notice previously given to the Corporation of the City of London, the Commissioners appointed under the Great Seal opened their Court of Inquiry in Guildhall this morning. A hustings was erected at the upper end of the Hall, and the following Commissioners took their seats shortly after 11 o'clock :—John Blackburne, Esq., K.C. ; Sir Francis Palgrave, Knt. ; John Elliot Drinkwater, Esq., and Thomas Flower Ellis, Esq. The Secretary to the Commissioners, Joseph Parkes, Esq., was also in attendance. Mr. Vernon Smith, M.P., one of the Lords of the Treasury, was present watching the proceedings. A large body of the Common Council were also on the hustings. Mr. BLACKBURNE, the Senior Commissioner, opened the business of the day by stating that they were assembled together under a Commission under the Great Seal, issued by his Majesty, pursuant to an address, presented to him in that behalf by the Com mons' House of Parliament, to inquire :into the existing state of Municipal Corporations in England and Wales— the inquiry immediately to be speeded was into the ex isting state of the corporation of the city of London, and was for the purpose of ascertaining whether there was any wrong to correct, and it was there fore essentially necessary that the commissioners should have the fullest information afforded them by the corporation, the Livery Companies, and their officers. He entertained no doubt that the City of London would see that it was a great matter of duty to afford the most complete and the fullest information—( Hear, hear, bear, from several Members of the Common Council) — for from what he had seen of the officers of the city of London, he had no reason to suppose that the reverse would be the case. His Learned Friend Sir F. Palgrave, during his preparatory sittings, had received every facility from the corporate body, and he trusted the same facility would now be continued. The object of the Commissioners would be, not to give the Cor poration any unnecessary trouble, for no man should be uselessly called on for examination. He understood that some difficulty had arisen from the clause in the commis sion empowering the Commissioners to administer an oath, and that it would be objected by some necessary witnesses to be sworn. The Commissioners had not the slightest wish to administer an oath, for he was quite sure ❑o man would come forward to state anything which was not founded in truth, and therefore the Commissioners would not put any party to his oath. Sir F. PALGRAVE then read his Majesty's Commis sion, after which, Mr. C. PEARSON inquired what course the Commis sioners meant to pursue, as the Committee of the Common Council would be desirous to conform to any arrangement. Mr. BLACKBURNE said the first inquiry would be directed to the boundaries of the City, and of the dif f erent Wards it contained. Mr. Deputy WOOD was the first witness examined, but from the continued noise from persons passing through the Hall, it was impossible tohear a sentence. Mr. C. PEARSON suggested that the Court of Exche quer up stairs would be a more convenient place for speeding the inquiry. The COMMISSIONERS acquiesced, and a consequent adjournment took place to the Court of Exchequer. Mr. Deputy Woon then proceeded with his evidence. He produced a map of the City of London, and of the Borough of Southwark, which had been prepared under the direction of the Committee appointed try the Common Council. The map described the boundaries of each ward, which the witness enumerated. The witness was under examination when our reporter ,eft. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Bombay papers to August 1, Buenos Ayres to Sept. 29, Madras to August 11, and Singapore to July 26, have been received at the North and South American Coffee house. The Bombay and Madras papers do not contain any political news of consequence, but are filled with the ne gotiations between the Court and Board, on the renewal of the East India Charter. The Buenos Ayres papers contain a communication from the Minister of the Home Department and War, assembled in the hall of the Governor, stating that, by the last packet, he had received a note from Dr. Manuel Morens, Minister of the Republic in Lon don, informing him that the British Government had recognized the invasion which had been made by surprise and force of arms, of the dominion and possession of the Falkland Islands ; and on the 16th January he asked explanation upon the affair of the British Legation, when he received for answer that he could not give any for want of instructions to that effect. He was again addressed on the 12th July, and the Charge d'Affaires had answered, that he had instructions from his Court to inform the Minister of Foreign Affairs, with respect to the proceedings of the Captain of the vessel of war of his Ma jesty at the Falkland Islands, that the British Government had on this occasion only exercised its full and undoubted right. There was therefore no doubt that the British Government had resolved to maintain at all hazards the accupation of the Falkland Islands, and that the republic under these circumstances, could not make sure of any other right than that of remonstrance. The Singapore Papers bring an account from Batavia, that the Dutch forces in Sumatra have sustained another loss, the Padries having seized on two petty forts, and cut off two European officers, with about 60 soldiers. THE FUNDS. We have the arrival this morning of no lose than nine foreign mail', as well as the express from Paris, with a number of other arrivals from the East, most of which are of little importance, as well as the express from Paris, which does not communicate anything of a decisive nature from Spain. The only in formation is, that Russia is preparing in the Black Sea for war. This has had some effect on the Funds, as well as our reinforcing the fleet in the Mediterranean. Indeed, the letters from Smyrna, of the 13th November, state that counter orders bad arrived in time there, to prevent the French ships from returning to France. Consols, which left off on Saturday at 881 4 for the Account, opened this morning at 891 ; little doing as yet. Spanish 231 a ; Portnguese 56i t. HALF-PAST ONE.

A further improvement in prices has taken place of about id. per lb. generally, but more par ticularly on the lower qualities of American and Bahia. The import this week is 23,288 bags, and tie sales are 30,920 bags,—viz., 340 Sea Island, 13 , 1. to 151. ; SO stained ditto, 10,1. to 13i -d. ; 11.070 Boweds 7d. to 8-, 2 3 -d.; 3,600 New Orleans, Vo. to 9Y.; 4,860 Alabama, &e., Sid to Sad. ; 1,700 Pernams, 91. to 10y. ; 1,180 L3ithia, Sid. to 91 ; 3,730 Marauham, Si -d. to 9i-d. ; 30 Para, 8-y. ; 100 Barbadoes, 12,11. to 134 d. ; 30 common West India, 7id. ; 100 Egyptian 12d. ; and 4,100 Surat, sd. to 611. per lb. The sales to-day amount to 5,000 bags: Prices have a tendency to improve. FATAL BRAWL.—On Sunday the Ist inst„ some men proceeding from Old Kirkpatrick were met by four Irishmen on their way from Dumbarton, betwixt Dunglas Inn and the village of Littlemiln. A dispute occurred, which one of the men proceeding westward was in the act of trying to settle, when one of the Irishmen pushed an umbrella into his eye, and the poor man instantly fell. He was carried into Danglas Inn, and afterwards to his own house at Milton, where he lingered in extreme agony till Wednesday, when he expired. Dr. Buchanan, of Dumbarton, took a post mortem examination of the unfortunate man's head, and part of the umbrella was found lodged in the brain ! The authorities of Dumbartonshire are in search of the offenders, but hitherto, we believe, without success.— Glasgow' Herald. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

The annexed official notice and circular refer to a mat ter which has been much discussed on the Dutch walk at the Exchange on Saturday, though it has not before ob tained publicity. It seems to be taken, in that quarter, as indicating a more unfriendly, not to say hostile feeling, towards the Dutch than previously existed, since the owners cf Dutch vessels appear to have come to the conclusion that the English Government, satisfied with the inconvenience they had incurred by the deten tion itself under the late embargo, did not mean to press for the payment of the extraordinary expenses incurred in consequence of it. There is little doubt, however, that the Government is merely acting in conformity with the rule established on all such occasions. That any question should have been raised on the subject is the only cir cumstance calculated to give any interest to these docu ments, which are as follow: " TO THE COMMISSIONERS OF CUSTOMS. " G e ntlemen, —The Lords Commissioners cf his Ma jesty's Treasury having had under their consideration the account enclosed in your Secretary's letter of the 6th of August last, of the advances made to the-masters of Dutch vessels detained under the embargo, I am com manded by their Lordships to acquaint you that they are of opinion that the expenses incurred by your depart ment should be chargeable on the respective owners of the several Dutch vessels on whose behalf these several expenses have been incurred, and that application for the payment thereof should be made whenever an oppor tunity occurs. My Lords at the same time observe that, under the direction of your Board the advances made amount to the sum of 3,152/. 10s. 9d., and that you have only received from the agents of the Dutch owners the sum of 2071. 12s. 11d., leaving the sum of 2,941!. 17s. 10d. un paid, and I am therefore to desire that you will apply to Mr. James Preston, the Dutch Consul at Yarmouth, and Messrs.

" By order of the Commissioners, " W. MACLEAN." ENGLISH IN HAMBURG. PUBLIC MEETING. (From the Hamburg Reporter.) On Wednesday last a public meeting took place at the Borsen Halle, in this city, pursuant to advertisement, to inspect and arrange the accounts of the English Esta blished Church for the year 1833. It was also stated in the advertisement calling the meting, that a communica tion would be made in regard to the building of an Episcopal Church in Hamburg, and the terms of the con cession according to which the congregation would be re- cognized by the State. At half-past two Mr. CANNING took the chair, and having read the minutes of the last meeting, called upon the Treasurer to state the amount of the subscriptions for the current year. Mr. PAst-isti stated the amount to be 3,100 current marks—whereupon Mr. PRESCOTT made the usual motion, that Mr. Can ning be instructed to apply to the English Government for a similar sum. _ _ _ _ The motion having been seconded and carried, Mr. CANNING promised to make the required applica. and had no doubt that in a few days he would be authorized to pay the money. Mr. CANNING then addressed the meeting on the sub ject of the English marriages celebrated in Hamburg since the abolition of the factory, and on the result of an ap plication to the Senate. The necessary forms for granting a Commission to the Episcopal Church, had not yet been gone through by the Hamburg authorities, but he had reason to know, from confidential communication., that the result would be satisfactory, and that the business might be brought to a conclusion before Christmas. He 188 had also ascertained, that it was the opinion of an able lawyer of the city that the marriages hitherto solemnised were perfectly legal according to the law of the place, , 2 i 0 2 and that the offspring of s u ch marria g es were le g itimate. ‘75 Mr. Canning then left the chair , which was taken b y 55 Mr. Parish, on the motion of Mr. Prescott. 20 Mr. GRIEVE then rose, and moved that the names of the gentlemen present should be taken down (there were about thirteen , includin g the chairman), and that those tSI 147 who were subscribers to the church should be distinguished from those who were not. If the present meeting was to F 2O be considered a meeting of the British residents, it was too not numerous enough for its acts to be binding upon the 100 residents at large, and therefore, if the meeting was to be t 56 considered in that light, it was his intention to move an adjsurntnent, for the purpose that a general meeting might be called. 60 Mr. CANNING said, that the meeting was certainly a meeting of the British residents ; they had been regularly called together by advertisement, and it was not his f cult if a greater number had not obeyed the call. 2- Mr. JACKSON move d, tha t the advertisement callin g the meeting-be read",which having been done,he proceeded to MO argue, that upon the face of the advertisement, none but 65 subscribers to the Church we re strictl y entitled to be pre — sent, and that impression he knew to have been upon the minds of many who w ould have attended if the y had LOU known that the meeting was to be considered as one of the British Residents. • Mr. PARISH said the mee tin g was certainl y one of the subscribers ere. to the Church, and no others had a right to intrude Mr. JACKSON quite agreed with the Chsirman, and it would be delu•ion and a deception to consider the meeting as representing the residents at large. Mr. CANNING rose, evidently hurt at what be con sidered a personal charge against himself. He could assure the gentlemen present, ihat be bad not the most remote intention to entrap an y individual, and he gave them his honour that when he wrote the advertisement he intended all the Britian residents without any distinction whatever. Mr. JAcKsON explained. Mr. PARISH then addressed the meeting at some length, and detailed the negotiations that had taken place between himself and Syndic Amsinck. At the conclusion, Mr. GRIEVE asked, with some abruptness, whether or not be had a right to have his motion put? Were thir teen persons to constitute a meeting of the British residents? Mr. CANNING said, he had already called one meeting, and he should not call another. Indeed he was uncertain whether be should attend another meeting ; but it was for the residents themselves to call one, if they chose ; at the same time be would put them in mind, that at pre sent Government was disposed to assist them in building a church, and they had, therefore, better make quick work of it, as circumstances might otherwise change. Mr. GRIEVE felt relieved by the explanation of Mr. Canning, and wou ld now move that the meeting be ad• journed on account of the thinness of the attendance. Mr. EOYE seconded the motion. He was not himself a subscriber to the church, and should not subscribe till i the church was put upon a more respectable footing. If it had not been for the impression that the present was a meeting exclusively of subscribers, there would have been a very full attendance. a Mr. PARISH—Who but Episcopalians should attend? Ir They were assembled to regulate the affairs of the English Church at Hamburg, and what purpose would it answer if different sorts of sectarians were to intrude ? For in stance, the members of the other church ? One impor tant point was to ascertain whether the marriages solsm nised by the British chaplain were legal. All who took an interest in the well-being of the church were welcome to attend, but, strictly speaking, the meeting applied only to subscribers. Mr. EDYE—Then I am an intruder. Mr. PARISH._Tb e object of the meeting was one which all Englishmen should unite in promoting. Mr. GRIEVE explained, that such was the object of his * The adwrth i ,„ ent w hich appeared in the Reporter of Tuesday was as follows : TH/: Barrisn aitstmNo AT HAMMIRG.—A meeting Of the subscribers to the English Established Church will take placeat the ISorsen Halle, on Wednesday, the 4th of December, at two o'clock precisely, 'to report and ar ran g e the accounts for the year 18,33.

Many members of the Church 11,1 d coat ribu`e.7 to the building of tde Dissenting chap,' on the " Johannis Bollwerk," and be was sure that the Dissenters would wish to have an opportunity at a public meeting of showing their readiness to assist in the erection of a church. After some further conversation of an extremely desul tory character— Mr. CANNING again rose•te express his anxiety that no misconstruction might go abroad as to his official conduct on this occasion. He entirely differed from the Chairman as to the character of the meeting, though he owned it wak not sufficiently numerous for its acts to be binding upon the general body of the residents. But he could as , ure them that, in calling the meeting, he had no idea of makinc any distinction of rank, station, or creed. Again some very desultory conversation, in the course of which Mr. GRIEVE made use of the expression packed meeting, which elicited a call to order from several parts of the room. Mr. CANNING said, that on leaving the Chair, he had dissolved the meeting of subscribers, and that the meeting then became one of British residents. Mr. JACKSON—It seems Mr. Canning and the Chair man are completely at issue. Mr. CANNING—What matter if we are ? Some further desultory conversation followed. Mr. PRESCOTT moved, and Mr. CAMPBELL seconded an amendment, that the meeting now proceed to business Mr. GRIEVE'S motion for an adjournment was, however, eventually put by the Chairman, and there being a show of hands in favour• of it, the meeting immediately broke up.

THE NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF " A MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE."--'6 The author of • Tre velyan' is deeply read in human nature. In this work, as in the former, the writer describes individuals who will be recogni,ed at once, faces and fortunes as common as the air, and she inspires them with that kind of interest which we feel in the events of real life. Trevelyan' is a fine portrait. and his sister is drawn with equal ability. Lord Herbert is a mere man without a heart, such as you meet with constantly in the fashionable world, and Theresa herself—and here the genius of the author comes out most strikingly—is a mere woman of rash resolves, ready faith, some pride of intellect, but of feminine weak ness, anti weakness at bottom. The work is one of con siderable talent, and must become popular."—Atlas. The fine statue of Alirabeau, placed last year in the Conference Saloon of the Chamber of Deputies, has just been removed to the Salon de la Pais, that is, to the ante-chamber. Ths statue of Henry IV. is now where that of Mirabeau was, Three large bas-reliefs are placed above the seat of the President. The first, behind the President, represents France distributing wreaths to the Arts, by M. Romans. The second, on the left, by M. Petitot, represents the King distributing colours to the National Guards. The third, by M. Rainey, represents Louis Philip swearing to maintain the Charter, in the hands of M. Latfitte, then President of the Chamber. Other bas-reliefs are in execution for the vestibule, but they are not in a very advanced state. Preparations are going on for the opening of the session on the 23d instant.— French Paper. THE HAMBURG THEATRE.—On Wed nesday Captain Living had the house as full as his friends could wish. Miss Tree's matchless personification of Lady Teazle deserved the enthusiastic applause which greeted her from every part of the house. Her graceful vivacity in the earlier scenes of the play, and the expression of deep humiliation when discovered behind the screen, have in our recollection never been equalled—surPassed they can not be.

OLP(' - 1 - SUIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. '',---/, ,1 .t..' A paper has been pritited by order of the House of Commons, which bears an ominous title. The title is as follows :—" A List of the Names of all Persons having Pensions on the Civil Lists of England, Scotland, and Ireland, on the 30th of November, 1830, stating the Date of the Grant and the Amount of each Pension, distinguishing those that have been continued on the Civil List, and those that have been paid from the Consolidated Fund, agreeably to the 2d and 3d of William IV., c:116, and also distinguishing those who have ceased to receive their Pensions from the Consolidated Fund, and the Dates when the Payments were dis continued, stating whether by Death or other wi'e." We have looked into this valuable list, which contains, as near as we can conjecture, about 1,100 gentlemen and lady pensioners. Really, on a consideration of the names of these reapers in the wide field of public bounty, one is perplexed by a variety of feelings. When we , ee the immense number of females, constituting, we believe, a decided majority of the whole, the first question that occurs is, what service can these urivileged regiments have rendered to justify such large draughts upon the means of the people? Then again, when the names of fair plunderers are just at our pen's end, a qualm of delicacy comes between us and our duty, and we dread the reproach which was formerly made, of want of decorum towards " helpless and unoffending" ladies ! But, painful as is the task, it must be executed. There is Mrs. Harriet Arbuthnot, 1,000/. and three more A. A. A.'s, all of the same family, with the several pensions of 1501., 1501., and 1001, set down against them. There is an illustrious Duke's and a Lord Lieutenant's sister, with 6001. a-year paid to her by the people of England. What service can she have ren dered the country, any more than the above mentioned Harriet ? There is a Dowager Countess Clare, the widow of a deceased Tory Chancellor and termagant politician, with 8001. a year. There is a female Cameron, with 5001. a year ; a Dame something with 700/. ; a Rosamond, with 3001. ; a Dame Dundas, 8001.; an Isabella Goddard, 7001.; a Mary Gwyn, 400/. , three ladies of the name of Hamilton, 450/.; a Lady Hill (who is she ?) 500/ 4 a Mr. Thomas Knox Holmes !—Holmes 500/. Is this a second edition of Harriet ? One Dame Lushington, 350/. ; another Honourable Dame Lushington and her children, 624/. ; a Lady Charlotte Murray, 3001.; a Catherine Gertrude Robinson, 5001. ; a Dame Sarah Torrens, 6241. Is this enough ? There are dozens more of them, but we are sickened heartily. What cause can be offered to the people of this country for such a frightful spo liation ? This only remains to be said upon the return, barren as it is of every thing but as a record of crime and baseness. We defy Lord Althorp to treat the matter of the Pension List. this year as he did the last. In the name of the country we defy his Lordship to stifle every thing, to cushion everything in the nature of a public and a grave inquiry into this disgraceful register. Every pension must be submitted to Parliament, must become the subject of Par liamentary interrogatories, and must be suffered to stand or fall according to the sense expressed by Parliament of the adequacy of the reasons assigned as a justification for the grant of it. This is the reflection suggested to us by the Pension List return. We are astonished that to the Chancellor of the Exchequer it could have appeared in any other light but as the people out of doors have seen it.—Times. We are glad to perceive, that notwithstand ing the accession of the Ultra-Radicals to the party of Mr. Sadler, at Huddersfield, he has no chance of success. In the Leeds -Mercury there is an excellent exposure of the tricks of the ex-nominee of the Duke of Newcastle. When the Radicals understand their man, they must feel ashamed at having been for a moment deluded by him. The corn law is, of course, a sore point in a manufacturing town like Hud dersfield. It may not be difficult to persuade a landowner that a law which is supposed to, have the effect of raising the price of corn, and con sequently adding to his rent roll, is deserving of all praise. A man may generally be trusted for a reasonable inclination to discover arguments in favour of his own interest. But it is not very likely that a manufacturer should be parti cularly enamoured of a law whicl H is, e lie a li s evel i t s to have the effect of lowering the, price of hi s own commodity, and raising the price of hi s food. Mr. Sadler, between his Conservativ e new a dilemma. Radical connections, a connectionsp laced o nth the horns his of en deavoured to shuffle. That it seems he tried to do also at Leeds. When he was pushed on the subject of the corn laws, he became suddenly faint and indisposed, and claimed the indulgen ce of the meeting. Mr. Sadler is not deficient in cunning, and it may be presumed, that if his opinions on the corn laws were calculated to benefit him, he would be eager to deliver them. In short, it is only allowing hitn credit for ordi nary discretion, to suppose that he considered beforehand with some care the various topics on which he should harangue the electors. When, therefore, he omitted such a subject as the corn laws, the inference is that he had reasons for so doing. At Huddersfield he was not allowed to steal off, but called on distinctly to express his views respecting the corn laws. He en deavouredalteration to escape by a piece of Jesuitism. He thought the corn laws ought to be altered, and he referred them to his book, in which he had advocated alteration. .In his book he doe,, in deed, advocate alteration, , : e ut la i n t r'",:i.

The very persons who may have promised to vote for him under ,the influence of trick, will be the first to quit him in resentment of it. The Ultra •Radicals were no doubt delighted with his abuse of the Whigs, and: Mr. Sadler certainly exerted himself greatly to afford them gratification. One might have supposed that he himself was a Ra dical. In the midst of the abuse, however, he allows it, every now and then, to be disco vered that the reason of his hostility to the Whigs is not that they have done too little but too much in improving our institutions. They have given to property and intellect their fair and legitimate protection.
