GF.TiTLIM EN t INIPRESSED with the belief that the grow ing wealth and importance of the County will at no distant period induce the Legislature to grant to Glamorganshire a second County Member, I hasten most respectfully to acquaint you, that it is my intention, when ever that Addition is made, to solicit the proud Distinc tion of becoming one of your Representatives in Parlia ment. Brought up in habits of business, and feeling from the long residence, and from the attachments and other notions of private life, a deep interest in the prosperity and hap piness of your County, should I be so fortunate as to ob tain your support and favour, I pledge myself to dis , charge with honesty and independence the important trust ~!posed in m e , an d t o g i ve t h e most anx i ous an d unremit , hug attention to your interests, and to the various duties 4 ,1' i 4 of yo ur R epresentat i on. s A regard for the repose of the County requires that I should abstain from a personal solicitation of your indi vidual support, till the addition of your County Repre , sentation shall have received the sanction of the Legis lature. Should any other gentlemen, however, commence an earlier canvass I shall then be found, though reluctantly, to take further measures. In the mean time I beg leave to assure you, Gentle men, that I am, with the greatest respect, Your most obedient humble servant, JOHN NICHOLL, Jun. 28, Curzon-street, April 22, 1831. P.S. By last night's post I sent the preceding letter to a confidential friend in the country ; but desirous not to create any premature excitement in the County, I re quested it might not he circulated unless some other gen tleman notified his intention of soliciting your suffrages. Having heard that Mr. Dilwyn has already declared him self a Candidate, I cannot any longer delay respectfully apprising you of my intentions. 28, Cdrzon-street, April 23. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION. ORD PALMERSTON'S COMMIT ■ a TEE meets daily at the UNION HOTEL, Cock spur-street, The Right Hon. CrIARLES GRANT in the Chair. It is requested that all communications tespecting the Election may be addressed to the Chairman at the Com mittee Room. and purifying a character, that no man can rmbari , in it, without feeling himself a wise and a better patriot. Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM has, we perceive by at , advertisement, announced himself as candidate fee the representation for the borough of Southwark. This gentleman, we should apprize our readers, is brother to the LORD CHANCELLOR ; brother to that enlightened lawyer, consummate statesman, and pro found philosopher, who has done more to advance the intellect of his country than any Englishman wl,o ever existed. We anticipate the gratification wit), which the liberal and intelligent Electors of South wank will receive the announcement of this high honour. We anticipate the pride—the honest pride—they w i experience, on learning that a member of the illus trious family of BROUGHAM—of that family whit' has identified itself with Reform in all its varietie , —has expressed a desire to associate his name wit , theirs ; to become the chosen guardian of their lon rights and privileges ; to plead for them ; to batthe for them ; and to conquer for them. We anticipate the energy with which they will rush to the poll; the confidence with which they will give their votes; the determination with which they will enforce their independence. Electors of Southwark, Ave will not insult your judgment by supposing for an install• that Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM will be unsuccessful in his canvass. The thing is impossible. His bro ther's name alone is a " tower of strength." Men tion but the word " BROUGHAM," and in that one word, you enlist a host of arguments in his favour. We request the particular attention of our readers, of those who oppose as well as those who advocate Reform, to the disgraceful scenes which took place yesterday in both Houses of Parliament. The House of Loa's in particular, the highest court of judicature in the realm, was degraded by an exhibition of brutal lawlessness unparalleled even in the nnal- of St. Giles's. The KING was all but insulted to his face ; the majesty of the Constitution was laughed at and defied ; the language of polite life —of gentlemen --of Peers—was exchanged for the coarse dialect of Billingsgate. A viler display of mob ruffianism was never seen or heard of. And yet the men who have thus incurably committed them selves, are the hereditary Legislators, whom the country is called upon to look up to, as beings tran scendantly wise and pa►riotic ! Shame on them ! They have shewn that both in dignity and discre tion they are beneath the lowest mob that ever shouted, and bellowed, and gesticulated on Spa fields or Kennington-common. We do not say this of all the Peers. GOD forbid ! There were many, very many, honourable exceptions ; but we will say of the faction, that it yesterday disgraced itself in a way that cannot fail to alienate for ever the respect and affections of the country. In the Lower House, a scene of nearly equal uproar took place. The Anti-Reformers were literally a ll frantic, and, to an inexperienced spectator, must have looked like so many lunatics just escaped from Bedlam. Mr. R. GRANT, we are happy to assure our readers, is secure in the representation of Norwich. So also is his liberal colleague, Mr. HUDSON GUR NEY. This is an auspicious commencement of the great work. It is proposed, we understand, to erect a public monument in one of the most conspicuous places in the metropolis, in honour of his most gracious MA JESTY, WILLIAM the Fourth, the saviour of his country, the idol of his subjects. Such a proposal need only to be known, to be univer,ally approved of. Our letter received this morning from Newcastle upon-Tyne should be read with attention. It is deeply important. We are authorised to state that there is no truth whatever in the report which we inserted yesterday in The Sun, that Ministers had tendered their re signation. They did no such thing. They never dreamed of any such thing. The noble feel ings and prompt decision of the KING ren dered any such step superfluous. IN'o sooner did his MAJESTY learn of the vote in the House of Commons stopping the Supplies, and of another trick which was intended to be played off in the House of Lords, than he at once made up his mind to prorogue Parliament in person, and ordered the carriages to be invantly got ready. Thus the firmness of one individual—and that indi vidual is our most gracious, most beloved SOVE REIGN !—has defeated the faction, and saved the country. A general illumination is expected to take place early in the ensuing week. It cannot be too general. A determination to illuminate is abroad, in consequence of the noble conduct of Ministers, and the royal conduct of his MAJESTY. Some districts are to be illuminated this evening —others on Monday ; and assuredly there can be no objection to each district making its own choice, in point of time, for such a patriotic exhibition ; hut would it not be better to have one grand and general illumination, instead of partial demonstrations of joy?— We do not mention this in order to cool the ardour of our fellow-citizens ; but simply with the view that the illumi nation may begeneral and effective.—Morning Advertiser. REPRESENTATION or KENT.—In conse quence of the prevailing opinion that the Reform Bill would be carried without a dissolution of Parliament, the freeholders have openly delayed commencing operations to procure the return of a Reform candidate. Preliminary arrangements are, however, made, and no effort will be omitted to eject Sir E. KNATCHBULI., should he present himself to the county as an opponent to the Reform Bill. (Sir EDWARD has signed the Anti-Reform declaration.) — Kent Herald. bf • ' nn• LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 23, 1831. A Privy Council is summoned to be held at St James's Palace, this day, at three o'clock, when a Proclamation for dissolving Parliament will be issued. The Proclamation will appear this evening in an Extraordinary Gazette. In again addressing ourselves to the electors of the United Kingdom, we implore them, as they value their liberties —aye, even their lives—to lose not an hour, to relax not an instant, in their ex ertions. The struggle in which they are now about to engage, is one for life and death. If they hesi tate, they are lost. Should the boroughntongering faction again return to power, adieu for ever to the boasted freedom of Englishmen! There is no act so unprincipled; no des potism so atrocious; no cruelty so enormous ; of which ohm men, judging from their past intem perate conduct, will not be guilty. Remember, countrymen ; treasure it up in your minds, meditate on it by day, dream of it by night; that if the boroughmonge rs once again return to power, they return armed with tenfold strength. Distrust ing the people, they will naturally hate them ; hating, they will as naturally trample on them. • Foreign wars, new loans, exorbitant taxation, in creased Pension List, sinecures without bounds, bar racks in every county, and gaols in every town—these are a few among the multitudinous national cala mities which will usher in the return of these tyrants to power. The hulks, the dungeon, and the scaffold will silence their opponents ; bribery and the Pen sion List will secure their friends. Up, then, countrymen, and be doing. Put forth your undi vided, moral strength, and annihilate for ever the unconstitutional authority of the boroughmongers. Shew them that you are, to a man, in earnest ; that you will allow of no compromise; in dulge in no relaxation ; hesitate at no expenee, till they and theirs are gone for ever.— Remember, it is your KING himself who calls you to action. Yes, that high-minded Monarch—the noblest who ever swayed the British sceptre—him self, having nobly discharged his duty, now calls on you to do yours. Be generous then—be resolute— and, above all, be prompt in your exertions, for thus only can you discharge your duty to your SOVEREIGN and your Government. On the Provincial Press, too, we call, to brace themselves for this mighty task. Let them not be deterred by any idle fear of popular disturbance. The spirit of the people is too elevated ; they are too conscious of the lofty nature of the duties they are called on to discharge to indulg e i n any indecent and inte m perate exhibition. They have no time, and les s in for riot. Th e moral grandeur of th e i r straggle forbid s it. It is one without parallel in:any age or country ; a n d o f so holy It is said when the KING yesterday determined to go in p erson to the House ogue Parliament, and gave or d ers for the state s e a t r o r i p a r g o e - , e of be was informed that it was not ind otin readiness. "Nell, . g I ,h,egetnie a exclaimed, in honest nation, like a true hackney-coach, for will not be pre stabielo then," pre vented doing my duty." It is a singular circumstance the horses were not dec ora t e d with their ugualttrappings. that MOTION OF W AVES A D ECE FTION rin Tr There is a curious optical deception attending of a the ele ration and depression of the su r f ace alternateig uid The waves thus produced appear to h ave a progressi ve " lion, which is commonly attributed to the liqui d el in 6- itself. When we perceive the waves of the sea app are ntly ad vancing in a certain direction, we are irresistibly iim pressed- pressed with a notion that the sea itself is advancing ' that direction. We consider that the same wave, as it advances, is composed of the same water, and that the whole surface of the liquid is in a state of progressive mo tion. A slight reflection, however, on the consequences of such a supposition, will soon convince us that it is unfounded. The ship which floats upon the waves is not carried forward with them ; they pass beneath her, now lifting her on their summits, and now letting her sink Me the abyss between. Observe a sea fowl floating on the water, and the same effect will be seen. If, how ever, the water itself partook of the motion which we ascribe to its waves, the ship and the fowl would each be carried forward, and would have a motion in common with the liquid. Once on the summit of a wave, there they would continually remain, and their motion wonld be as smooth as if they were propelled upon the calm surface of a lake. Or if once in the valley between two waves, there likewise they tsmald continually remain, the one wave continually preceding them, and the other fol hoving. —Dr. Lardner', Cabinet Cyclopedia, Vol. X VII. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY). CO UR T OF KING'S BENCH. The Court this morning proceeded with cases in tl c Crown Paper. THE KING V. THE INHABITANTS OF IVEEKES. This was an application for a mandamus, to compel the inhabitants of the parish of Weekes to assemble and elect a churchwarden, that office not having, been filled up at the proper time for electing parish officers. In opposition to the mandamus it was contended, thst the Court of King's Bench had no authority to compel a parish to assemble together for any such purpose. Lord TENTERDEN-The Court have the power, and those to whom the mandamus is directed refuse to obey it, they will find the Court have also the power to inflict punishment for disobedience of its authority. Depend upon it, if the parties are obstinate they will find they are struggling with a power they cannot contend against.— Maud imus granted. The other cases that were disposed of related merely tai dry points of law, respecting the removal of paupers. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. About twelve o'clock Lord LYNDHURST left the Court, and presently returned introducing Lord Althorp, in his robes as Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the purpose of taking the oaths appertaining to his office. The Barons and all the Barristers remained standing during the ceremony. Having taken the oaths, Lord ALTHORP seated himself on the Bench, and called on Mr. John Jervis (who, as tubman of the Court, takes precedence of all Barristers but King's Counsel) to move. Mr. JERVIS made an unimportant motion, which his Lordship (sitting as the head of the Court) granted, and then retired, accompanied by Lord Lyndhurst. Mr. WALTON took his seat within the bar, having been appointed King's Counsel. SIIIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

Your King may now indeed be called the Father of his People! He has done his duty, and expects every man to do his. Proffer unto the King of the people your dutiful addresses of thanks, and let this vast capital be illuminated in token of the important vic tory he has obtained for you ; he is sure to live and reign in the affections of his people. This noble deed of his has given universal satisfaction throughout the city. The tu mult in the House of Lords, last night, is looked upon with disgust. Consols, which left off yesterday at 7Si 79, opened at the same price, since which the market is not so good, and they are at present 784 for the account, with little or nothing doing. We have , no further accounts at present from the theatre of war. There is not a feature in the Foreign Market Worth observation. BRITISH FUNDS. Ditto, Reduced, Ditto, New, 88% Four per Cent.

The Bank broker has again been selling Exche quer Bills, which has caused them to recede to ss. pre mium ; at present they are from ss. to 6s. premium. Money is becoming scarce, and a great deal is going out of the country for purchases of corn an d flour. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. THREE O' CL O CK. Consols 781 i. The barristers who signed the petition for Reform, have intimated their intention of offering their services gratuitously to the liberal candidates at a new election in any part of the kingdom, and to bear themselves theentire expences of their journey. Considering that many of these gentlemen depend entirely upon their professional pursuits for support, we regard this as a splendid instance of patriotism. FROM THE MORNING POST.-Fash ion displays itself in every thing,—w e at present see it in Letter Paper ;—f or P ERRY ' S L etter P aper stampe d " perfec tionated tinted blue" is now becoming general among the very highest class of society. We suppose this preference is attributable to the satisfaction which the Patent Perryian Pens have undoubtedly given in that direction.—Price per packet, containing nine Pens, 3s. 6d. Sold by the Patentee , 3 7, Red Lion-square, and by all Booksellers and Stationers throughout the empire, and in every place abroad. COMMO N MISTAKE IN COOLING WINE.'"" When ice is used to cool wine, it will be ineffectual if it be applied, as is frequently the case, only to the bottom of the bottle; in that case the only part of the wine which will lie cooled is that part nearest the bottom. As the application of ice to the top of the bottle establishes two currehts, upwards and downwards, the liquid will undergo an effect in some degree similar to that which would be produced by shaking the bottle. If there be any deposit in the bottom whose weight, bulk for hulk, nearly that of th e w i ne, such deposit will be mixed throug h t h e liquid as e ff ectually as if it had been shaken ; in such cases, theref ore , t h e wine should be transferred into a clean bottle before it i s cooled. —Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopcedia , Vol. XVII. equals TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN: Sm.—Strongly impressed with the belief that to pro mote the cause of Reform it is only necessary to extend in formation through the medium of the Press, many of the inhabitttnts of this city are subieribing to raise a fund which will enatle tb m fo give the moat eitensivci publi city to such political works as They may conceive fraught with merit, and by way of beginning have come to the determination of printing a large quantity of copies of tie' eloquent and patriotic speech of Mr. Hawkins, in the }lons of Commons, on Tuesday last, the 19th instant. Should you conceive such a system calculated to benefit the public the recommendation of it through the medium of your valuable Journal will doubtless promote its extension, and thereby add to the many favours which, by your talent and public spirit, you have before conferred upon the public.

Sun,— The Royal William is the finest vessel that has ever floated on the waters of England ; she is the admi ration of her gallant people, and commands their attach ment. There is no sacrifice which they would not make for her preservation : she is as near to perfection, as it is possible for human mind to plan, or human skill to exe cute. Upon her preservation hangs at this moment the very existence of the British empire :.—therefore there is not an honest heart, a gallant spirit,which will not now be ready to arm in her defence—devoted crew after devoted crew will be supplied to resist the attempts of the enfuriated enemy, who would forcibly take possession of her—to direct her strength against those great interests, for whose salva tion she so happily became the property of the British Empire. The mutinous, malignant, and insensate wretches, who accidentally had the charge of this magni ficent vessel, anal who abandoned her in the hour of danger, seek now to drive her on the shOals of public discard, whence she might afterwards drift upon the rocks of public con vulsion, and where in their haleness and fury they would destroy her by the flaming torch of deemonism. The great dispenser of events has decreed that this profli gate and hellish band shall be destroyed ; that they shall perish in their own violence ; be consumed in that very fire which they would kindle for the destruction of their country. No, Sir, the proud vessel of State will be pre served by the pure and patriotic devotion of the virtuous people of the British Empire. She will not be made a sacrifice to ignorance and insanity. Sir, is it to be believed that the disappointment of the faction should be so desperate as to have led them to insult Royalty in the exercise of its virtuous prerogative? But such is the fact. Not content with declarations of insult and menaces to intimidate, they were so far lost in their maddened anger, that they actually proceeded to acts,— The House of Lords yesterday exhibited a scene that would have disgraced the hustings of Covent-garden, when the mob are stimulated to indulge in their hatred against un popular representatives. Whilst the King was robing, not only were violent gesticulations and stamping of feet in dulged in, but groans, biases, and yells. Shall mobocracy be only condemned, and the insolence of an unprincipled aristocracy be admired and sanctioned ? When man becomes the victim of his passions—there is no distinction between the Peer and the peasant—the former loosened from the restraints of civilized life, is, indeed, a greater savage than the later ever can be; he has less of the na tural kindness of man, and from his corruption is capable of committing greater outrages—Swing or Terry Alt are children of meekness and of mercy, in com parison with the great and wealthy Lords , who disgraced themselves, and degraded their order, yesterday, in the House of Peers. In what does their loyalty , consist? In insult to the Monarch in the performance of his sacred duties? Ilow is their attach ment shewn to the institutions of the Constitution ? By the most outrageous opposition to the exercise of that pre rogative enjoyed by the_ Monarch for his very protection against a body who, for their own aggrandizement, have sought to destroy the Monarchy and enslave the people. Let these infuriated men beware, that they are not struck down to the earth by the vengeance of the people. An insult offered to the King is an insult offered to themselves, and will be equally revenged. The King and the people are identified. The two branches of the Constitution—the Monarch and the people—are now but as one ; and they will act together to the destruction of that faction that would destroy both. This union will have the support of the most distinguished of the Aris tocracy. The Oligarchy that has brought the State to the verge of ruin will now perish in the abyss which yawns for their reception, and into which they would have hurled their country - . The British empire is saved—the Kirig has done his duty—the Parliament is dissolved—the people must do theirs. CO-RADICAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-The boroughnaongers and their adherents must, indeed, be very hold or unaccountably blind men—blind if they cannot see, and bold if they dare to disregard the shadows which corning events cast before them. In this district, formerly one of the most Ultra-Loyal and Ultra- Tory in the kingdom, the change of sentiment is wonder ful, and the a spect of affairs truly alarming, if we are, under ?resent circumstances, to contemplate a rejection of the Reform Bill. The influence and power of the Aristocracy has almost passed away—the lower orders are in a state of insubordination, verging upon insurrection, and the so-much vilified middle classes—the " shopkeepers and small attornies," who formerly marshalled themselves with so much zeal and alacrity in support of Church and State principles, and in support of aristocratic property, now turn a deaf ear to the call of their Magistrates and ci-derant leaders, and look on upon the outrage and de struction which surround this emporium of the north, either with calm indifference or secret satisfaction. What is the cause of this state of things every one knows, what will be its effects no one can guess ? The cause is a deep and general disaffection towards the working of the present system, a rooted hatred of aristocratic pretensions and aristocratic dominion, and a reckless spirit which in political matters fears not change, from a conviction that no change can be a change for the worse. The pitmen, who constitute a considerable part of the mass of the working population in this neighbourhood, have lately had some petty disputes with their employers, and sympathizing with and encouraged by the prevalent spirit of the district, they have discontinued to work, and have broken out into acts of violence and insubordi nation. They meet in large bodies (ten or twenty ' th ousa nd) to d iscuss th eir grievances, and have attacked and destroyed the works of several collie- 1 ries, an d made hostile demonstrations aga i ns t th e dwellings and private property of individuals, particularly obnoxious to them. These may be thought no very un common, nor very formidable circumstances ; but they become so when viewed in connection with the total apathy of the middle classes, or indeed their settled repugnance to assist in any stray towards the suppression of the disorder. The Magistrates of the county have in vain endeavoured to induce the farmers and labourers (many of them their ' own tenants) to assume the office of special con stables, and the Mayor of this town has made an eq ually fruitless appeal to the inhabitants. He ha in consequence been obliged to issue out summonses to dif ferentpeusi t penalty individuals,eoriconsequent equ e nt umanypoii an n f whom indictment have, at i t n h t e l e takene s d e , sesai o the threat tsarayf which oatlis ratherthan een liberallysub jec d t ea t l l t i . e themselves v .

I shall not venture to P redict the consequences of such an occurrence—they re quire no ghost to rise f ' froth the dead to tell them. Let the boroughtno ngers only look coolly upon this state of things; let them t i l n e d m by the consider the tremendous force arrayed a gainst them in the excited passions of the lower orders, in the hatred of the middle h classes, and in the good sense and good feeling of one• alf of the Aristocracy,—and they must be mad, or worse than mad, if they continue to prolong a hopeless struggle, and to incur the ' .i movement" which ma y of indeed ere its termination, prove baneful to every order society, but the first step of which must inevitably crush them into titter and irre trievable ruin.

CONDUCT OF MR ROBERT WILSOLV This morning a highly respectal.hf Pnteting of the der tors of Southwark was hell in the ToWt-ball, for HA. purpose of taking into consideration what steps should 14 adopted to mark t 1 e sense of the electors, as to the Parli, inentrry conduct of Sir 11. Wihon on the Reform Bill. The 11tOtt BkILIFF took the chair, and explained ti c reason why he had postponed the meeting from yesterday to io-day. The requisition he meeting was then read. Mr. Camvert entered the room, and was received avid very loud cheers. A letter was read from Sit n. Wilson, in which he ex presses his determination to withdraw from the repro sentation of the Borough. The letter was couched it the same words as the published address of Sir R. Wilson Mr. al.'s said it would not be necessary for hint to say much as Sir Robert Wilson hail withdrawn himself fron the contest. He would, therefore, only say a few words. Sir Robert Wilson, at the last election, tie:dared that if hi differed from his constituents he would retire. Sir Robert Wilson had not acted in pUrsuance of the wishes of Reform ers, by not supporting the Rafotrn Bill; and it seemed te him that Sir Robert Wilson h a d leagocd 1 - 7ith the wars' en emies of Reform. The Hon. Gentleman atent on ti s tate that Sir R. Wilson had by his con d uc t p e rplexed the Ministry; and as he (Mr. B.) thought Sir R. Wilson had en deavoured by his condtlet to gain favour with the Duke of Wellington, whom it was perhaps expected would hay been again in power, he moved as a resolution—" That the electors of the Borough had been called upon to in vestigate the Parliatnentary conduct of Sir Rotiert Wilsor, but that as his 111 jesty had exercised his prerogative, and in proroguing Parliament had rendered unnecessary ant mark from the electors, the Parliament try connexion be tween the Borough and Sir Robert Wilson had wholly ceased."—(Cheers.) Mr. FAR-two: B, as a former friold and supporter of Sir R. Wilson, now rose with pain to seCvill the motion. Sir Robert had basely deserted those who had, through evil report and good report, supported him when he w a s neglected by others.—(Cheers.) If Sir R. Wilson had not gone into Parliament at heart a reformer, he had been guilty of base hypocrisy after the deciaratinns lie had made. He felt great gratifica.ion that his Majesty had, with that firmness so characteristic of him, prorogued the Parliament. Our patriotic King had said, there are bad men in the House of Commons, and I will banish them from it for ever.--(Loud cheers.) After some other re marks, he concluded by seconding the resolution, which was soon afterwards unanimously adopted. Mr. B. WOOD addressed the meeting at great length, eulogising his Majesty for the firmness displayed yesterday in proroguing Parliament. He referred to the conduct of the opponents of the measure, and concluded by moving a a resolution declaratory of the warmest thanks to his Ma esty, for the promptitude his Majesty had shown in over turning the faction of the boroughmongers, The Rev. Mr. KENNET seconded the resolution. The firmness of his Majesty bad proved him true heart of oak, and had also proved that time education of his Majesty as a British sailor had not unfitted him for a British King. The vote of thanks was carried with many cheers. The parties who have been announced as candidates are Mr. Bulwer, Lord Cochrane, and Mr. Brougham. Mr. Calvert no doubt will be re-elected. The meeting was proceeding when our Reporter left. COURT CIRCULAR.

The five Commissioners from Belgium have been intro duced to Prince LttoroLn, and have bad a long conference with his Royal Highness. The Spanish Minister transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. HUNT AND THE PEOPLE. (From a Correspondent of the Morning Advertiser.) As every particle of information connected with the momentous event of yesterday is valuable, we insert the following, communicated by an observer in the crowd, who had from the interest he felt in the proceedings pending been in close attendance on the previous even ing as well as yesterday. He stater that he saw, on Thursday, Mr. Hunt in close conversation with Mr. William Holmes, the lately styled whipper in and zealous supporter of the Tory party. He mentions the cordial reception that our magnanimous Sovereign met with, and the hearty congratulation with which he was cheered on his way to and from the House ; but not so it was, says he, with Mr. Hunt. When " the Representative of all England" was seen passing through the crowd in his one horse chaise, attended by his boy in green livery, the groaning and discordant noises of the people had no bounds. The Hon. Member for Preston on his way down hare it with immense fortitude. He wore his beaver up, and seemed to grin defiance at the exclamations; but on the way home his courage fagged, and he abandoned his epe❑ one-horse chaise for the corner of a hackney-coach, where he remained snug from observation. DIFFICULTY OF WALKING IN WATER. —Every one who, while bathing, has walked in the water, is sensible how small 4 weight rests upon the feet. If the depth be so great that the body is immersed to the shoulders, the feet are scarcely sensible of any pressure on the bottom. The want of sufficient pressure in this case renders the body easily upset. In attempting to ford a river in which there is a cmrent, considerable danger is produced by this cause; even though the river should be sufficiently shallow to leave a large portion of the body above the surface. The pressure on the bottom being di minished by the buoyancy of the liquid, the feet have a less secure hold on the ground, and the force of the current acting on that part of the body which is immersed, with out affecting that part which is above the surface, has a tendency to carry away the support of the feet,—Dr. Lardner's cabinet Cyclopadia, Vol. XVII. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, The King, in exercising his just prerogative to dissolve Parliament, hag given an unquestionable proof of his sincerity in the cause of Reform. Had he been content to prorogue the Houses by com mission the act would have refuted the slanderous reports which the supporters and advocates of a corrupt sys•ern of representation disseminated to his prejudice, as being a Monarch capable of disappoint ing, at the most eventful crisis of the country's destinies, the reasonable expectations of his subjects. His going inpersontoexecutethatnumeoh calumniousstimpor important moreoffice is than a refutation of assertions—it is a rebuke to their authors. It is also a renewed pledge to his faithful people of his Majesty's earnest de':ermination to consummate the great work of political regeneration which, under his Royal auspices, has been so happily begun. His Majesty has not only vindicated the honour and dignity of the Crown—he has done his duty to the country. It remains for the country to give effect to the wishes of a patriot King by doing its duty to itself. Its destinies, as far as they depend on human efforts, are now in its own hands. The people are now called upon, wherever they have a voice in the return of representatives, to exercise with wisdom, discernment, and integrity, that great privilege. They are called upon, by every sense of duty which they owe themselves and their children, to seize the present opportunity of securing the peace able triinneh of their constitutional rights, by send ing men into Parliament who shall stand pledged to the great measure of Reform, which is calculated to fix the throne upon a firmer basis than ever, while it restores the energies of a free Constitution. If they ' lose the present opportunity, it may be long, indeed, ' until such another occurs. With a most popular • King, and his Ministers favourable to an extensive and efficient plan of Reform, nothing can prevent the complete success of the people but their being false to themselves. Let each man exert himself as if the fate of the country were involved in his indi vidual exertions, for on the ensuing elections depend the future fame, happiness, strength, and prosperity of this great empire. As in many places the peoplc • have no share in the choice of those who obtain seats in the great Council of the nation, it be comes the more necessary for them to be zealous and indefatigable in securing the return of enligh- - tened and honest men in all places where the mono poly of the few has not absorbed the privileges of the many, and where long usurpation has not turned the elective franchise into a mockery. It has often happened that the people, in asserting their own just rights in this country, have been under the un pleasant necessity of opposing the wishes of the Sovereign; or of coming into adverse collision with the Ministers of the Crown. If the present crisis has its anxieties, it has also the peculiar felicity ' of presenting the interesting and sublime spec tacle of a people and a Ministry making a united assault upon the strong holds of corrtvtion un- • der the guidance of the Monarch himself. How different from the scenes presented at this mo ment in many nations of the Continent, where the Sovereign and the people are in a state of mutual jealousy or open conflict, and where the advisers of the Crown continually inculcate the disastrous doc trine that there is no security for the Royal prero gative but in the destruction of popular rights. Great will be the moral impression that will pervade the country, from the prompt and energetic act of William the Fourth, in dissolving a Parliament hos tile to Reform, and elected under the auspices of the late Administration. The Royal motto, "Dien et mon droll" is applicable to the contest in which the people are now engaged, and should be inscribed on their banners. By establishing the right of a free representation, they will save the Crown as well as the country from the power of an oligarchy that has equally domineered over the prerogative of the one arid the liberties of the other.—Morning Herald. It is impossible to describe the joy produced yes terday by the intelligence that his Majesty was pro ceeding to the Parliament to prorogue it with a view to diskolution. Every man you met was loud iit the expression of his satisfaction at a result so in dispensably necessary to the carrying the great mea sure on which the hearts of the people are set. The perusal of the report of the proceedings of Thurs day night had filled the people with great disgust at the desperate conduct of the vile faction on this oc casion. But if there was joy without, within the walls of Parliament very different passions dis played themselves. The rage of some of the Mem bers of both Houses burst through all restraint. The speeches of the mortified anti-Reformers were frantic ravings, and the action in most cases corresponded to the language. In the House of Peers, Noble Lords so far forgot themselves as actually to clench their fists at each other.lf we are not misinformed, too, even Majesty itself was insulted, by the looks and gestures of some of these ill-bred Senators. The tenor of the speeches delivered by the anti-Reformers was not, certainly, calculated to serve them much with the na tion. Amidst all the fury and raving of the speakers or both Houses, traces of previous concert were, however, discernible. Thus it has been discovered that something more is necessary for the people than alarm for the Church, and regret that the power of the Crown to pension should not be unlimited. Lord Mansfield in the House of Lords, and Sir R. Vy vyan in the Commons, tried to frighten the national creditors. " Why," said Lord Mansfield (this No bleman modestly accused Ministers of incapacity !), " did they want a reformed House of Parliament ? To gratify, they said, the people. But what did the petitions of the people pray for? They prayed indeed for a Reform of Parliament, but they prayed for it for that which they expected it would give them. Their desire, in the first instance, was to have a reduction of taxes, which they knew could not take place without a previous reduction of the national debt; next, the reduction of sinecures; next, the reduction of salaries; and next, the appro priation of that species of property which has hitherto been called church property, to an entirely different purpose." Sir Richard Vyvyan more than once brought the national debt on the carpet. "He would conclude (he observed on one occasion), by avowing it as his decided conviction, that if they were permitted to carry their Bill, all funded pro perty would become unsafe. Tithes would be de voted to confiscation—the House of Lords would be betrayed, and the Crown itself shaken from the head of the Sovereign." This is miserable trash. The Reform Bill will protect property and not en danger it. The constituency to whom that Bill will give power are in every county the most cautious and the most interested in the security of property. The national creditors are not stupid enough to be the dupes of this non sense. Sir Richard Vyvyan admitted, that the object of his party, on Thursday night, was to stop the passing of the estimates. They have re ceived the proper reward of their faction, which an indignant country will know how to estimate. The tirade of Sir Robert Peel on the dangers of the country, and the inability of Ministers to meet these dangers, was ludicrous enough, considering the state in which Ministers received from him the two islands. Was net the word revolution in every mouth when he abdicated the helm ? And did he not pitifully whine out his lamentation that nothing could be done by Government to put down the dis turbances in the• South and West of England ? The people are now full of hope, fully employed, and even Ireland is at politicaliy disturbed. No Mini sters can prevent a people suffering from famine from being disturbed ; but the disturbances are local. It well becomes these men to talk of inefficiency ! Morning Chronicle. Again we invoke the electors of the United Kingdom—and united it is in one resolution to de pose and exterminate the borougbmongers—to de vote their bodies and minds to the accomplishment of our political regeneration.
