LITERATURE. TALES IN VERSE. Darton, London, 1836. The author of this elegant little volume, which is a sort of Child's Annual, is Mary Howitt, well known for her poetical abilities, and the admirable purposes to 'Bich she applies them. In the present instance she has been s i ngu l ar l y success f u l i n wr i t i ng a ser i es o f l tales in verse, which are every way qualified to recom mend themselves to the young mind, by the simplicity of their language, and the easy and musical flow of their rhythm. Some of the poems are indeed of a higher order, and appeal to the more matured tastes of an adu lt , " Marion Lee" for instance, which is a pro duction worthy the authors of the " Lyrical Ballads." We • • subjoin this sprightly little poem : Not a care bath Marion Lee, Dwelling by the sounding sea! Her young life's a flowery way, Without toil from day to day, Without bodings for the morrow— • Marion was not made fcr sorrow. Like the summer billows wild Leaps the happy-hearted child, Sees her father's fishing boat O'er the waters gaily float, Hears her brother's - fishing song On the light gale borne along. Half a league she hears the lay Ere they turn into the bay, And with glee, o'er cliff and main, Sings an answer back again, Which by man and boy is heard, Like the carol of a bird ; Look ! she sitteth laughing there Wreathing soa-weed in her hair— Saw ye e'er a thing so fair? Marion, some are rich in gold, Heaped-up treasure-stores untold ; Some in thought sublime, refined, And the glorious wealth of mind, Thou, sweet child, life's rose unblown, Hest a treasure of thine own— Youth's most unalloyed delights, Happy days and tranquil nights, Hast a brain with thought unvexed, A heart untroubled, unperplexed ; Go, thou sweet one, all day long, Like a glad bird pour thy song, And let thy young, graceful head Be with sea-flowers garlanded, For all outward signs of glee, Well befit thee, Marion Lee !" The volume is embellished with a variety of graceful Wood -cuts, is handsomely bound, and printed in a large neat type, so as to suit youthful readers. It is just the sort of work to be given to an industrious little by way of a Christmas keep-sake, and as such, we haveno doubt it 'will find its way into many families. ELLIS'S BRITISH TARIFF. London, Bailey and Co., 1836. This is a most useful—indeed a necessary work for all Members of Parliament, officers of the revenue, merchants, ship-owners, brokers, agents, and dealers in Imported goods of every description. The Table's, with th e sca l es o f duty, import and export, are very co nveniently arranged, so that a minute will serve for re ference. The present is the eighth annual edition of t he work, which is brought down to the close of Sep tealber in the current year. COURT CIRCULAR.

IRISH GENTILITY.—Four genteel young men were fined 5/. each for wantonly destroying the gas lamps in the street.—Limerick Chronicle. The Magistrates of St. Andrews, Cupar, and King born, have conferred the freedom of their respective burghs on Sir John Campbell. On every occasion on which it was possible, he has courted intercourse with his consti tuents, and has been very frank and liberal in his advocacy of popular principles.—Fife Herald. WARWICK.—This borough exhibits a good deal of party spirit. The Town Clerk has been dismissed by the Council, to whose will Mr. Tibbets was notoriously opposed. Mr. Bolton King, the Member for the borough, according to the Warwick Advertiser, has been placarded and libelled by the Tory party, with the malignity which ge nerally accompanies the attack of that unscrupulous faction. Wednesday Louis Philippe was walking . with Prince Esterhazy in the Palace of Versailles, in the immense gal lery be has constructed there ; on comin g to a certain pic ture of Horace Vernet, the Prince asked what the subject of it was ? "It is the battle of Jena, by M. Vernet," re plied the King. " Very well, indeed," observed the Aus- . trian Ambassador, " his Prussian Majesty is certainly greatly indebted to M. Vernet. The battle of Jena and not a Prussian in it ! It is a most delicate attention !" We hear that it is not the intention of the Duke of Richmond to appeal against the decision already given in favour of the adverse party, concerning the Duchy of Aubigny, which suit has been so long pending in the French Court. GOLD FlSH.—This fish breeds freely in small ponds, and even in tanks, in this country ; but particularly so if, by any means, the temperature of the water can be maintained at an elevation above the ordinary means. It is well known that, in manufacturin g districts, where there is an adequate supply of cold water for the condensation of the steam employed in the engines, recourse is had to what are called engine -dams, or ponds, into which the water from the steam-engine is thrown, for the purpose of being cooled. In these dams, the average temperature of which is about 80 degrees, it is common to keep gold fish ; and it is a no torious fact that they multiply in these situations much more rapidly than in ponds of lower temperature, exposed to the variations of the climate. Three pair of these species were put into one of these dams, where they increased so rapidly that, at the end of three years, their progeny, which were accidentally poisoned by verdigris mixed with the refuse tallow from the engine, were taken out by wheel-barrows full. Gold fish are by no means useless inhabitants of these dams ; they consume the refuse grease, which would other wise impede the cooling of the water, by accumulating on its surface.--1 arrell's British Fishes. A night or two ago an attempt was made to break into the house of Sir John Kaye, on the London-road, which is at present occupied by servants only. The thieves took a square of glass out of a back window, and, letting the glass fall, a maid servant was roused by the noise. Taking a light in one hand and a knife in the other she went to the backdoor, and having opened it dared the mid night depredators to come in. Her valiant challenge, how ever, was not accepted, and she therefore quietly retired once more to bed.—Leicester Chronicle. The following precious composition, addressed to the present Lord Chancellor, was accidentally found sealed with shoemaker's wax, at a village in the northern parts of this county : " the I Loard Chancier, Luondun." " I right theas fue lines to you my Loard chancier. dare is a propert in chancry be Longen to the famely ayeney (Ayscough). lam the rite are to Lady ayescut, and the are to sir edived, ayescut sough kellscey (South Kelsey).

The wife and child of a soldier in the 91st Regi ment, were burnt to death in Tain last week, under very painful circumstances. The mother was subject to fits of epilepsy, and it is supposed that she was attacked with this complaint in the absence of her husband, and had fallen into the fire with the child in her arms. ENGLISH TRADING VESSELS.—Nobody who has not considered the subject can have any idea of the extent of the English mercantile marine at this moreent. The number of her trading vessels, entirely exclusive of the Royal Navy, is 24,280. The capacity of these vessels is two million five hundred and fifty-three thousand six hun dred and eighty-five tons ; and they give employment to one hundred and sixty-six thousand five hundred and eighty three men and boys. The above calculations arc made from thirty-four folio volumes and manuscripts on shipping, presented annually to the Board of Trade. In addition to the immense fleet just enumerated as actually belonging to British ports, the British empire possesses 3,579 ships, of two hundred and fourteen thousand eight hundred and se ventv-eight tons, and fifteen thousand and fifty-nine men, which belong to her colonies ; so that altogether the country possesses 27,859 merchant vessels. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—Between three and four o'clock on Sunday afternoon, as a respectable mechanic, named James Johnson, residing with his wife and family in Wood-street, Clerkenwell, was descending the stairs from his apartments, intending to go to chapel, be slipped down, and struck the back part of his head with such tremendous violence, that his scull was fractured. Ile was removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and we regret to add that no hope can be entertained of his r ecovery. P RUSSI AN ARMY.—There is no flogging, nor any degrading punishment allowed in the Prussian army ; nothing that is calculated to deprave rather than improve the character of an offender. When an individual is con victed of any offence he is condemned to leave his compa nions, and is placed in what are called companies of punish ment.—Strang's Germany. A great sensation has been created at Exeter, by the report lately brought up at the Town Council. It ap pears that this city is 157,0001. in debt, 20,0001. of which has been expended on the canal.—North Devon Journal. TUNBRIDGE WELLS.—About six. o'clock on Sa turday evening, we were aroused from our peaceful tea tables by the announcement that the extensive mansion be longing to John Carruthers, Esq., called " Mitchells," about two miles from this place, was all in flames. Its appearance from the heights of our common was terrific. The night was serene ; but the dark clouds flitting across the moon added greatly to the effect, which was also observed by tra vellers at twenty miles distance. On arriving at the spot, we found a mass of burning ruin of about 140 feet in length and about 50 in breadth, which no means at hand could overcome, there being no engine nearer than Buck burst or Tunbridge. Fortunately the fire was discovered in time for the proprietor's lady to superintend the removal of the principal part of the valuable furniture, which she accomplished with great presence of mind and persever ance. A waggon load of goods which had recently arrived in expectation of Mr. Carruthers coming from town on Tuesday, had fortunately not been unpacked, and conse quently escaped destruction. The accident is supposed to have been caused by the lady going with a servant into a luMber attic with a lighted candle, Is hich ignited some pa pers, matting, and other combustible materials, which had been deposited there. The loss must be little short of five thousand pounds ; but being insured, it is hoped it will fall lightly on the proprietor, who has, however, expended large sums in extending and embellishing what was formerly only a farm-house. Our readers may judge of its mansion-like capabilities when we state that the Russian Prince Pozzo di Forgo occupied it last season. It has also been inha bited by Sir Sampson Graham and other persons of dis tinction, and has even been proposed as a fit residence for our Royal Patronesses, the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, during their visits here. The rare oc currence of tt fire hereabouts attracted hundreds of our po pulation to the scene, and some rather ludicrous accidents happened in their haste to reach it by the " bye-ways." Anne Parker, the widow of " Admiral " Parker, who was hung for mutiny at the Nore, is now a pauper in the workhouse of St. Giles's-in-the-Fields, and is stone blind. For some time previous to last week she lived in Wild-court, Drury-lane, and used to be led about by a boy. Being in a state of destitution, one day last week she ap plied to the Magistrates at, 13°w-street, who, on hearing of her destitute enndition, wrote a low tlir her to the over seers of St. Giles's parish, when she became at} inioatoNf the workhouse. The poor eltiatara states she ought net to be as she, 14 new, and that she has barn ciPprived of pro, pert! to which she ;.s entitled.

Fife de Joie, Gauntlet, Isabel, and Winto nian lying in front, and so they continued till near the ropes, where the first two cut it. Wintonian then came out, followed by Isabel, and won very easy by a length. Gauntlet was third; Lext him were Miss Sophia and Fanchon, and in the rear Lord Orford's colt and Virago. In our account sent from the Heath Fanchon was placed second by mistake instead of Sir M. Wood's Isabel filly. Clean% ell.—Betting, 5 to 2 agst Corban (taken), 5 to 2 agat Lady Slipper, 7 to I agst Garcia, 7 to 1 agst Mango, 7 to 1 agst Ruby, 10 to 1 agst Venilia. The start was excellent, the fleet getting under weigh nearly abreast. The running was made by Chapeau d'Espagne and Corban, with Garcia and Lady Slipper at their quarters, nor was there any change of moment till they were inside the ropes, where Corban gave place to Mango. Garcia and Chapeau d'Espagne singled themselves out here, and ran a splendid race home, the former winning by a head, and defeating Mango and Lady Slipper by about a length. Next to the latter were Urban and Venilia, well up ; and lastly Ruby, Champion, and Forth's filly. The match between Candia and Eva's dam was won by two lengths. THE DERBY. 12 to . l agst Mr. Sadler's Defender 14 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's colt—Dervise dam—taken to 2001. 25 to 1 agst Mr. Greville's Mango—no backers 30 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Miss Clifton colt—taken 50 to 1 agst Margrave—taken 17 to 2 agst Gerard 17 to 2 agst Lord JerEey's Brother to Bay Aliddleton—taken 9 to 1 about Gerard and Brother to Bay Middleton 11 to •2 offered agst Lord Exeter's lot The rest as before. After the races the splendid freehold residence and racing stables, formerly the property of Samuel Claney, the jockey, were put up by auction under the commission of bankruptcy, and knocked down very cheap to Mr. Morgan for 2,9401. Fidget Farm, belonging to the same estate, was bought in ; and a policy of 2,0001. on Chifney's life sold for 521. 10s. THE HARROW HUNTERS.—The mantling mists hung over the green hills of HarroW, and the drizzling rain prevented many of its fairest daughters from attending the hunters' tryst at Elmore's Farm, on Saturday last; but it did not prevent the lovely Phcebe Philpott, on her bonnie grey, from joining the 200 well-mounted cavaliers, who met Do Burgh and his gallant pack. A meet at Elmore's is a sort of bijou rarely to be met with ; situated in the centre of a fine grass country, the scenery around the richest in England, an open house, a splendid dejeuner a la fourchette, graced by the amiable sis ters of the worthy host, every thing recherche, and worthy of a Prince, and tho most princely, judging from the number of noblemen and gentlemen who attended. " Mon anti," says the Count, " where shall my carriage be placed, to give the ladies a view ?" "On the top of the hill," says the Leetle Boutelle, " and then over to Harrow Church." " Ah, very good ; but why to Harrow ?" " Because the deer (dear) find great attraction in a church spire." A general move to the top of the hill at once gave the office for the turn out, and the sun bursting through the opening clouds, as the gallant stag burst from his bondage, rendered the scene highly interesting, as the field had the pleasure of seeing the noble fellow making for the favourite point, Harrow ; and now tho gallant pack in full cry, led a noble field, who had a splendid burst, Over hedge, ditch, and style, With a tail a mile, skirting Harrow, and on for Pinner, through Drummond's, Beecher acting as gateman ; what a nice open fellow he is. Beautiful hunting on for the Priory, Stanmore, still keeping the grass, on for Hyde, where many hides felt the effect of the grass ; crossed the London road, and over the brook, where many could ill brook it, and got in; but I don't know where they got out; I'll pound they didn't like it—catching a Tar tar. A gentleman, in this part of the chace, lost a shoe, and rode into a marsh farm-yard to inquire for the nearest black. smith's shop ; he was surrounded by a lot of ruffians, and un der the threat of having his brains knocked out by sundry edge-stakes, he tipped a sovereign. A limb of the law, being witness to the robbery, will give the Hendon yeoman a little of Gray's Inn on the subject. Up to Mill-hill, where lots were knocked down, and cut, as the deer bent over for Barnet; a lost shoe and a blacksmith's shop prevented us from being there at the take ; but Miles's boy says, De Burgh and about 20 others were in at the finish of a glorious chace. THE TURF.—An enterprising speculator is now engaged in establishing a Metropolitan Race Course, a little beyond Bayswater, which he calls the Hippodroma, where he an nounces there will be, not only a four mile race course, but a steeple chase course, intersected by brooks and every descrip tion of fence. Ladies and gentlemen are also invited to make it their resort for equestrian exercise, and pedestrians are in formed that they can now enjoy the truly British sports of the turf, at their own doors, without expos se or loss of time. We might well svy what next? but seriously we wish the under taking every possible success. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

WHITEHALL.—The extensive repairs and embel lishments which have for a considerable time past been car ried on in the interior of this noble structure are now ra pidly drawing to a conclusion. The ceiling (painted on canvas by Rubens, at the command of Charles I.), which represents the apotheosis of James 1., in nine compartments, has been carefully cleaned and re-touched ; each compart ment is surrounded by a massive frame of gold Ivork, which, together with the restored brilliancy of the paintings, give to the roof a gorgeous appearance. The eatablatures of the Corinthian pilasters, which beautify and support the walls, are being gilded, en suite. A substantial oaken floor is in progress of being laid down ; on which will be raised pews of the same lasting material. There is a melaucholy reminiscence connected with the site of the Royal pew : it will be placed in the very window out of which Charles I. walked to the scaffold—the window in the centre of the principal facade, facing the Horse Guards. The building is still intended as a chapel for the troops. A splendid altar-piece will be erected at the end, opposite the organ gallery ; • and arrangements have been made to warm the chapel by means of hot water. hush' II A I LwAYs.—The, Government Commis sion, for the purpose of surveying and determining the best lines of railways, hereafter to be made in Ireland, is ex pected to be constituted in a few days.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, OCT. 18. THE REGISTRY.—In connexion with the information given yesterday on the subject of the Sligo Registration, we copy the following confirmatory intelligence from the Champion of that county :—lt is well known that the No ble and liberal Secretary at War possesses a large estate in the county of Sligo. But it is not equally well known that he expends nearly the entire rental of that estate in im provements, and constantly employs his tenantry in the most useful works. He is consequently beloved by them, and considered, as he really is, one of the best landlords in , Ireland. We have now the very great satisfaction to an nounce to the public that a letter was received by a gentle man in this town a few days back from his Lordship, in which he states that he has given directions to his agent to facilitate the registry of his Lordship's tenantry and that the liberal cause shall have his warmest support. This is as it should be. The liberals of Sligo are making the greatest exertion to throw off the galling yoke of the To ries. Every day their strength is increasing. Many gen tlemen who hitherto stood aloof from politics, or gave up in despair the regeneration of Sligo, have now joined the liberals. Much has already been done, but much more re mains to be done. We think the manly and patriotic letter of his Lordship will tend to increase the confidence of the people in the present Whig Administration. TITHES !—MULLINATIONE, OCT., 13, 1836.—A large police and military force, amounting to nearly one hundred, accompanied by five bailiffs, and a rebellion officer, sup posed to be named Jackson, from Dublin, proceeded at an early hour on the morning of Tuesday, the 4th instant, from Killenaule, to the lands of Mohobber, for the pur pose of arresting some persons in that neighbourhood under Writs of Rebellion, for tithes claimed br Archdeacon Cot ; they were principally under the command of Doctor Fitzgerald, R.M. and Mr. Blake, C.C., and after dili gently searching the house of Richard Cormack, Esq., one of the sought-to-be-made tithe-sufferers on this occasion, they had to decamp without the satisfaction of arresting him. The Rev. Gentleman is no more known in this union than the ex-Dey of Algiers, except when his name is used by miscreant bailiffs, when endeavouring to enforce that odious impost in the union of Lismolin. It is but justice to say that the Doctor and Mr. Blake displayed gentle manly conduct while protecting the ragamuffins in their search for Mr. Cormack. Mn. O'CoNNELL.—The Pilot states that the accuracy of the rumour relative to the Hon. and Learned Gentle- Man's intention to visit Kilkenny is very questionable. STORMS.—AImost all the sea-port towns in Ireland suf fered more or less from the late high tides and storms. Wexford was visited with the most tremendous storm re membered to have occurred for the last twelve or fifteen years, by which vast injury has been done to the town and along the coast, particularly to embankments and reclaimed lands. The tide has seldom or never been known to have risen so high. ATROCIOUS CALUMNY.--WC copy the following from a Clonmel paper, in the firm persuasion that it will be con tradicted in all its parts ; in fact, the monstrous and un natural story bears on it the deep impress of falsehood : " Our Thurles correspondent has furnished us with the fol lowing account of one of the most barbarous actions, insti gatedby a bigoted and unchristian feeling, we have, perhaps,. ever been obliged ito put on record. Gross as it is, and full of savage brutality, we cannot doubt it, coming from that hot-bed of infamy, that focus of murderous riots and revolt ing deeds, which furnishes more victims for the county gallows than any other town in unfortunate Tipperary : As the last division of the 18th Royal Regiment were on their march through Thurles, en route for embarkation for Ceylon, three soldiers were billetted on one house, and the wife of one of them was shortly afterwards seized with the throes of parturition. The persons of the house, on the supposition that she was a Roman Catholic, immediately despatched a messenger for their reverend father in God ; but the confessor having made his appearance, his services were, of course, declined—the husband of the woman af firming that they were members of the Church of England. The owner of the house, on hearing this, swore by the Holy Evangelists he would not sleep in his house that night, where heretics and devils were ; he accordingly left the house to procure lodgings for himself, and immediately af terwards a party of the Thurles mob, instigated by this demon, assailed the promises, dragged the unfortunate woman (in the condition above stated) out of the house, and used her in a most inhuman manner—the consequences are, the poor infant perished ; and the unfortunate mother remains without hope of recovery. The three soldiers are detained by the authorities of Thurles, in order to prose cute the perpetrators and instigators of this barbarous and inhuman cruelty." The Cork Standard is a formidable foe, and seems destined to win victories by his pen as great and splendid as ever Alexander achieved by the sword. There is a peculiarity in the mode of warfare adopted by this new ally of the Orangemen, unlike most of his contemporaries. He attacks the persons of his enemies, and leaves unnoticed their principles. He has done immense service to the ban ner under which he fights by this somewhat singular but undoubtedly gallant mode of carrying on the war. A few days ago he discovered that the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland thought himself a handsome nzan ! He accordingly opened a vigorous attack upon his Lordship's head and hair, face and fingers, and the Viceroy, we apprehend, is reported amongst the "killed." In the same engagement Lord Palmerston was " wounded," and several other distinguished men in the ranks of the Reformers are " missing," Truly the Standard is an admirable tactician. With all his great resources and acknowledged talents, to take up such posi tion assuredly is evidence of the strength and goodness of the cause into which he has entered. To-day ho calls names after this fashion," O'Connell and Crawford are two of the vainest beings that ever wore the shape of men." If this charge do not drive both the Hon. Gentlemen out of the field, and force them to bide their diminished heads for the future, no attack will reach them ; they must be un assailable, and carry about with them a charmed existence. The Lord Chancellor has returned to town, and will sit to hear motions on the first day of Term. Yesterday Lord Ashley, Mr. John Abel Smith, Mr. Edmund Hals well, Dr. Southey, Mr. Bryon Waller Proctor, and 1,,,c0.4 Seymour, attended at his Lordship's house, in Bruton., street, and were sworn in Metropolitan conitnis.sionnrs in Lunacy. --,- The Munster family, who have been at Brighton for the last eight months, leave there on Friday for Hamp stead, where they have engaged a house for their winter re sidence. PARLIAMENTARY VOTERS.—The opinion of an eminent barrister has been received on the question of the eligibility of the Collector of Assessed Taxes being entitled to vote. It is conclusive as to the right of Collectors ap pointed by the Land Tax Commissioners ; and in the borough of Southwark, and all other places where the ab jection has been made, the Court has retained the names of the Collectors on the list. Collectors of the King's Taxes are excluded from the privileze, et voting.—_tontish Gazette. [Collectors appointed by the Land Tax Com misSioners are entitled to vote for Members of Parliament, and Collectors of King's e. Assessed) Taxes are not. The same persons generally collect both, and under the opinion of the Tory Tax Boards of Coinmissioners, the collection of l'and tax formed a panoply of qualification, over-riding the disqualification by collecting the house and window duties. The above paragraph does not appear to deter mine this point quite so clear as may be desired—Whether a person collecting land tax, and also King's assessed taxes, is entitled to vote or not ?—En.

THE NORTHERN Licitivs.,—Last Tuesday night messengers arrived al all the fire stations of the London establishment Rd West of England offices, stating that a dreadful fire was raging in the direction of Islington or Hol loway, and certainly, from the appearance of the sky, there was every reason to fear the Most dreadful results. In a few minutes twelve of the London establishment engines, and also, one belonging to the West of England, with up , wards of sixty firemen, arrived in the supposed direction of the fire ; but after traversing Highgate, Hampstea(l, a n d other places, for about two hours, they were cor. - ,pelled to return, with no other information than that the supposed fire could have been nothing more ttitn the aurora borealis, or northern lights, which will be visible several times during the present month, 1400 of the inhabitants of the above named f laces wp 4 , o very much alarmed on the occasion.

We base nod beard of any serious injury being done.—W exfo rd .lerectifqn, SIR JOHN CAMPBELL. (Abridged from the Edinburgh Observer of Tuesday.) It having been announced that the Attorney-General would address his constituents yesterday, a very crowded meeting was held in the Waterloo Rooms. Exactly at '2 o'clock Sir John appeared on the platform, and was greeted with loud cheering. The LORD PnovosT, on taking the Chair, briefly addressed the Meeting, but from the length and importance of the address of Sir John Campbell, we have been forced to omit his Lordships' remarks. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Electors of Edinburgh, my much respected constituents—There was a question once put to me in this room by an elector ; says he, " Sir John, if we elect you our representative, shall we ever see your face again ?"—(A laugh.) I ventured at that time to give a pledge, the only pledge I ever gave, that I would pay you a yearly visit, and that I would be ready at •all • times to give you an account of my stewardship. It becomes my duty now to state to you what has passed since we last met. Par liament met in the beginning of February ; and the King's speech gave an outline of the measures which were to be submitted, and it was allowed by him who has become the leader of the Tory faction in the country, that the King's speech held forth a glorious promise. That individual, I mean Lord Lyndhurst, said there was a brilliant promise, but there was a sad deficiency in the execution. Whose fault was that ? The fault was Lord Lyndhurst's. If he would have allowed these measures to be carried, the last Session of Parliament would have been the most beneficial in the annals of British legislation ; but the Tories had otherwise decreed. They were determined, if could not repeal the Reform Bill, that at least the fruits of it should not bo fully tasted by the people. If they had not the courage to seize the reins of the Government, they were resolved to bring the machine as soon as possible to a dead lock. In the beginning of the Session the Tories had great hopes from an attempt against an individual ; and by the ruin of Mr. O'Connell—(Cheers)—great advantages were expected to arise to the Tory cause. I wish you had seen their long faces—(Laughter)—when the report of the Carlow Com mittee came out, and acquitted Mr. O'Connell, and proved to a demonstration that the charge of corruption brought against him was foul and calumnious. Another hope was then entertained that disgrace might be fixed on the Prime Minister himself. But let me be' rightly under stood—l say that the respectable leaders of the Tories were ashamed of the attack made upon Lord Melbourne ; but I must say the great bulk of the party looked forward with eager expectation to the result of the trial, and in the ver dict did anticipate a return to power. I rejoice that I had a part in exposing the falsehood of this charge, and in vin dicating the innocence of the party accused.—(Cheers.) I had a glorious reward for my anxieties ; when, after the Jury returned a verdict of not guilty, I entered the House of Commons, and heard the cheers of the representatives of the people, rejoicing that truth had prevailed.—(Great cheering.) The hopes of the Tories being thus disap pointed, nothing remained for them except to adopt a system whereby, as far as practicable, useful legislation might be put a stop to. It seems to me, that for this purpose the Tories changed- their leader. They,now threw aside the mask of Reformers—they no longer appeared as pseudo- Liberals, but were determined to act on their own genuine principles. Some of them looked on Sir Robert Peel as little better than a Radical, and the Duke of Wellington was considered deficient in energy and vigour.—( Laughter.) They, therefore, resorted to my Lord Lyndhurst. It is with great reluctance that I say anything which can be considered, in the slightest degree, as reflecting cen sure on that Noble Lord. 1 have known him long— I have eaten salt with him ; which I cannot forget; . though he may. He is possessed of brilliant talents, and„-most agreeable manners—" he can assume a pleasing form."— (Cheers and hisses.) I must recollect what he said of me —he believes I am a Whig ; I must say of him that I be lieve he was a Whig, and a great deal more—(Cheers) — and I do not despair of seeing him again return to our side of the question.—(Hear, hear.) He is liable to sud den changes of opinion—always acting conscientiously ; and though it may happen that, in those changes, his opinions coincide with his interest, yet he has the magnanimity to act upon them.—(Laughter and cheers.) When he returns to the Liberal cause, we shall hail him with satisfaction— (Cries of " No, no") —taking care that he does not drive on too rapidly, and that he may not urge us to propose measures which may prove subversive of the monarchy under which we were born, and under which I hope we wish to die.—(Cheers and laughter.) One great measure which was carried in last session was a Bill for the com mutation of tithes in England. Another measure was also passed of great importance to the Dissenters in England. Since 1754, they were compelled, before theyecould con tract marriage, to enter a church, and have the ceremony performed according to the rite of a religion of which they disapproved. This is now remedied. Another measure, favour of Dissenters, has been likewise passed—a Bilt, b y which the births, the marriages, and the deaths of Dis senters, as tvell as of Churchmen, are recorded . .in a civil register. Another measure which distingr!,shed the last Session of Parliament was the putting down of Orange Lodges.—(Cheers.) You obtained Municipal Reform ; and, after a severe struggle, NT:anicipal Reform was also obtained for England, and ;:n consequence of that measure, in almost all the towns of Great Britain, there has been a marked improvemnt, and general harmony prevails among all classes. Is it fair to withhold from Ireland what Scot land and England have obtained ? Yes, says my Lord Lyndhurst, because the Irish are aliens in blood, aliens in language, and aliens in religion.—(Cheers.) He might have used the sama argument against the Scottish Muni cipal Reform Bill ; but you would have indignantly raised your voices against such language, and have in sisted, as your ancestors did, upon your right to enjoy all those free institutions to which you are entitled.—(Cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then went at great length into a recapitulation of the events of the last ses sion, alter which he proceeded to say—There have been several debates in the House of Commons respecting the part our Government takes in proceedings abroad. The Conservatives of England sympathise with the Conserva tives of Spain, and are eager to support Don Carlos because he is for absolute Government, and would re-establish the Inquisition if he could.—(Cheers and hisses.) But I hope you approve of the conduct of , Government in supporting the cause of civil and religious liberty all over the world.— (Cheers.) I hope constitutional liberty will still trevail ii Spain as well as in Portugal ; and I think you will not talk of the efforts which Englishmen have made in Spain as a buccaneering expedition—to. use the language of Lord Lyndhurst. Many of your ow.o countrymen have gal lantly engaged in this enterprlee--they have shed their blood in defence of liberty, end have maintained the character which the natives of ibis country have always enjoyed for military virtue.—(i;beers.) Then what is there in the last session of Peiiiament to condemn ? Objections have been made to the present Ministers that we are supported by Mr. O'Connell. We are supported by Mr. O'Connell, arid 1, for one, am very glad of it.—(Great cheering.) Ido net participate in all the opinions of Mr. O'Connell, any more than I do in his creed. I do not approve of all he says and does, but I regard him as a man of great talent—to whom his own country and the empire at large are deeply indebted.—(Cheers and hisses.) It is said there is it tom pact between him and the Government—that it a foul calumny ; there is no compact between hint and, the Go vernment ; and unless you can point out improper measures which the Government has brought forward, it will not do to blame them for accepting his support. Often have I seen the Tories court the support of Mr. Hunt, or Mr. Cobbett, and of Mr. Whittle Harvey. A great deal has been said 4 the danger of the Protestant religion. lam prepared to shed my blood in defence of the Protestant religion ; but I believe that many who have brought for ward this objection have done it as a stalking horse. Tl:.e.re are some who seem to be anxious respecting the Protestant religion, but who, if it suited their purvoses, would bring in a Bili to restore the dominion c,,i the Pope—(Great laughter)—and would, I have no, doubt, make a very clever speech ill favour of the measure.—(Continued cheering.) I allow that the present State of the country is unexampled, critical, and alarmiug. I have no doubt the Tories have down the resolution that, so far as it depends on them, if the people submit to it, there shall be no further improvement in our laws and institutions. There appeared lately an article in the Quarterly Review, which I consider to be the manifesto of the party. "It is said to have been written by Mr. Crokcr, the great enemy of the Reform Bill, and who has disdained to appear in the reformed House of Commons, but who finds it more convenient to sit in his closet and issue forth anonymous articles in support of his party. His motto is " ne plus ultra." No more—you shall go no further. king Croker has mounted his throne ; and, like king Canute of old, 'says to the tide—thus far shalt thou conic, and no further. This is vain and presumptuous language ; the tide of im provement will cotioue to rise till e very gr i evance i s e moved of there is cause to complain. What is the rereeily for this state of things ?* I have nothing to disguise is appearing before lil y constituents, and I say the first re medy we ought to attempt is, a union among all sections of liberal politicians' and a loud an d unequ i voca l express i on of public ep i e i o ,—(Cheers.) It is said that we of the Re form par ty arc for the bludgeon and the brick-hat, That is a foul calumny ; we wish to instruct ilea Lards by law ful and constitutional means. lAlt 'oettitinne pour in—let public m eetings raise thA k omW,, it a dissolution of Par liament take, setitris an overwhelming majority of Literal Pitgebees to the House of Commons,, chef in this • - wa y shoW on which side is public opinion, Cheers.) If the time should come, which j do not anticipate, when measures approved by the King and his Ministers by large majorities of the representativei of the people, and in whose favor the p u bli c v o i c e is loudly and unequivocally declared — if such measures shall be rejected by one branch of the Legislature-- then, I think, it m ay become neces . sary to consider to what remedy we shall resort for reform ing the Peerage. Ido not anticipate such a crisis. My own opinion is, that the Lords, being prudent and intelligent men, as the majority of them must be allowed to be, will consider that public opinion is an important element and ingredient in weighing the expediency of public measures, and will bend, as the Duke of Wellington did on a former occasion—es their other leaders have done on former occa sions—and as Lord Lyndhurst himself has done to the public voice, and that the crisis may be thus averted. But my opinion is, that the people will never submit to tyranny —never submit to misrule ; and that as the Peerage Was made for the benefit of the people, it belongs to the Peers to recollect, that it is for the good of the people they have been entrusted with the privileges which they now enjoy.— (Cheers.) I again say—that on reflection—an considera tion—on listening to the voice of the people—another ses sion of Parliament will find this branch of the Legislature more reasonable and complying, and that the cause of Libe ral legislation will triumph.—(Cheers.) I cannot conclude without congratulating you on the prosperij.y which prevails in Scotland, as well as in every other part of the British empire : commerce, manufactures, and .agriculture—alt are improving ; and, in the general harmony and conter,tment, you are reaping the benefit of the exertions you made in favour of liberty when yob conquered the Reform Bills.— (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. TAIT, after stating that Sir John had not noticed in the catalogue of beneficial measures Of the session, the -re peal of the newspaper tax, proceeded to put several ques tions—First, what were his views of the ballot ? The ATTORNEY -GENERAL had not yet voted for the ballot—he was not yet prepared to vote for it. ' If intimi dation goes on, and no expedient is' found to put a stop to it, I may become a reluctant convert to the ballot, • Mr. TAIT 11C,Zt asked his opinions respeCting the. Aorten hime' of the duration of Parliam en t s ? The ATTORNEY - GENERAL was of opinion that Parlia ment should not sit so long as seven vears ; but this was rather a speculative than a practical question. He had years, land in that peri o d rrghter)—so that only been in Parliament for six he had been six times elected—(La Par liaments had been annual for him. He would be bound to say that the present Parliamo',t would not sit for seven years. Mr. TAIT then asked his opinion respecting the clogs that existed on registration ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was of opinion that they were abominable. Councillor RUSSELL asked whether Sir John would vote for the abolition bi Church-rates in England without 4 com mutation ? The .P...TTORNEY-GENERAL had great hopes, in the nest Session of Parliament, a measure would be brought for ward to relieve the Dissenters, with which they would be satisfied. Sir T. D. LAUDER proposed the following motion : That Sir John Campbell's Parliamentary conduct has been highly satisfactory to this meeting, and that he is entitled to the cordial thanks of his constituents for the manner in which he has discharged his important duties 'as one of the Representatives of this city during the preceding Sessio:o._ (Great cheering.) Treasurer BLACK came forward with a similar vote of thanks to the Speaker. Mr. TAIT came forward, and said that he considered the objectof this meeting would only be half obtained if they separated after hearing the opinions of Sir John Campbell only. He thought his constituents ought Ids° to tell him their opinion, so that, on hi s r e tur n to L on d on, h e m i g h t tell his Colleagues of the Governmer,t, " these are the opinions of my Constituents, for trie . y so."—(Cheers and laught er .) r A' Jr somethemselves told me further observa tions, Mr. Tait moved a series of resolutions. But the opinion in their favour not 'appearing to be unanimous, Mr. Tait withdrew ther:,, Sir JAMES GIBSO"A CRAIG then moved a vote of thanks to the Lord Provoc, c , for his conduct in the Chair—after which the meetin-s separated. The grer.ter part of the Town Council of Leicester have signed an address to the present Mayor, Mr. Paget, to cont.moc,. another year in that office. In. Leeds, on the municipal registration this year, the Liberals have a majority of 187 votes ; we hope they will keep up to what is expected from them at the next elec tion of Town Councillors. Lord J. Russell has appointed Mr. Gambier Re corder of Feversham. Mr. Dampier, the Judge of the new Stannaries Court, has appointed Mr. P. P. Smith, of Truro, his Se cretary. LUDICROUS INCIDENT.—In a recent trip by one of our Scottish steamers, she carried on deck a number of old mail-coaches ; and a steerage passenger, who had got some grog, ensconced himself in one of them, observing it was much more comfortable to travel by coach than by ship. A storm came on shortly after leaving port, which increased, so that it was found necessary to lighten the vessel ; and the old coaches, being upon deck, were tho first of the cargo condemned. Coach after coach was cor.- signed to Davy's locker, and the one .containing the live stock was about to follow, when a heavy sea knocked, in the window-blinds and roused the sleeper, of whose 'situa tion the crew were first advised by a gurgling noise in his throat, caused by an effort to eject salt water, whi'zh was immediately followed by a stentorian call of " Holl,oa! stop the coach!"—Scotch Paper.

Monday the first increase of ls. a! day to the half pay of the Pursers of the Royal Navy was paid at the dock-yard, to the great satisfaction of this deserving but hitherto neglected class of officers, who have been endea vouring for more than twelve years to accomplish this ob ject, and are now indebted to a liberal Administration for a boon which is universally admitted to be founded on jus tice.—Devotport Telegraph. No less than 93 whales of the bottled-nosed species were driven on shore and captured at Scapa Bay on the 3d inst. The appearance of such a number on the coast at once is a very rare occurrence. The whole population, man, woman, and child, turned out to this " sea hunt ;" and the skill and energy manifested by the performers in the novel sport was responded to by the acclamations of the numerous spectators that lined the shore. The whales measured from six to 20 feet each, and were sold for about 31. to 101. each, leaving a very handsome remuneration to the captors. ANGLING WITHOUT CRUELTY.—Mr. Jesse, in his delightful " Angler's Rambles," asserts that it is not. the fato.l of fishing, but of the fisherman, if angling is ever a cruel sport ; and he mentions his own practice, which ought to be universal I never fish with a live bait, or with worms ; and 1 am furnished with a large knife, having a small hammer at the end of it, with which I kill my fish the moment they are out of the water. It may be said that pain is inflicted on the fish the instant the hook strikes its mouth. Ido not thi n k t h at t hi s i s t h e case . I t i s either resistance, or the sight of an object that alarms them, which occasions a fish to show fear, and not from any actual pain they feel from tht:: book." And at the conclu sion of his directions for trolling—for which, by the way, he strongly recommends Limerick hooks—he observes— " My readers will mrceive that I have said nothing about snap or live bait-fishing, or of setting trimmers for pike. I detest theta all, especially the two last, as they are attended with no small degree of cruelty. An angler may enjoy his amusement, and yet inflict very little pain upon the fish he takes, or the bait he uses. As long as he does this the sport is an innocent one ; but when a live gudgeon has a wire passed under his skin, and is than set afloat to . be gorged by a pike, which probably remains for hours wi t h hooks in his stomach, swimming about in very fear and pain until it is hauled into a baat, the sport degenerates into an act of wanton cruelty." agent of theO n B S r a i t t i u s iridky Assoc e ice] " O .en c t t. to B, N M ort r h .
