Their Majesties expressed themselves highly plei.sed with Mr. Elvey's e°nl Position, and the manner in which it was sung ; it is another proof the words : lARCITATIYE.

EGHAM RA CES—YESTERDA r. Notwithstanding the gloomy aspect of the sky in the early part of the day the promised visit of their Majesties, coupled with the expectation of sport, warranted by a most liberal and influential stewardship, attracted a numerous and highly fa shionable company, v‘ ho were gratified with a very fair after noon's amusement. Agreeably to orders fowarded from the Castle to Mr. Hib burd (now Clerk of the Course at Ascot as well as Egham) the tents captured from Tippoo Sultan were erected opposite the judge's stand, for the accommodation of their Majesties and suite. Their capaciousness and richness of colour formed a striking addition t o th e genera l fi tt i ngs up o f t h e course. The Royal party, consisting of nine carriages and four, with out-riders, reached the tents about a quarter before two, amidst the usual demonstrations of loyalty and respect. In the first carriage were their Majesties the King and Queen, the Princess Augusta, and Prince Ernest of Hesse Philippsthal ; in the others were the Duke of Dorset, Dowager Marchioness of Cornwallis and daughters, Earl and Countess of Win chilsea, Earl Denbigh, Lord and Lady Wharncliffe, Earl of Albemarle, Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, Marquis Conyngham, Lord and Lady De Lisle, Sir Charles Thornton, Sir Andrew Barnard, Lord Curzon, Hon. Capt. Curzon, Sir Frederick Watson, Sir Horace Seymour and Lady Clinton, Lady Char lotte Hatton, Miss Wheatley, Miss Hope Johnstone, Colonel Cavendish, lion. Miss Hudson, Mr. Davies, &c. Their Ma jesties did not leave the ground till the conclusion of the sport. Amongst other fashionable. present were the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl of Uxbridge, Lord G. Ben. thick, Sir Mark Wood, Sir Lewyn Glyn, Sir G. Heatlicote, Hon. Capt. Byng, H on . C o l. an d Mr. Anson, Hon. Col. Stanhope, Col. Challoner, Captain Carpenter, Sir John Gib bons, Mr. Gibbons, Capt. Fairlie, Capt. Harcourt, Capt. Ricardo, Captain Heathcote, Mr. Etwall, M. P., Major Cope_ land, Capt. Gardner, Capt. Williamson, &c. Sir Frederick Roc was in attendance on their Majesties, having under him Messrs. Leadbitter, Gardner, and Capes; there was also a strong body of the new police and local con stables, by whom the course was admirably kept ; in fact the entire arrangements were of the most satisfactory nature. The following is a return of the running : Match, 100 sovs. New mile. Captain Gardnor's Ethilda, 4 yrs.

The winner claimed. The weather was unfavourable throughout the afternoon. Previous to the commencement of the races, his Majesty was most graciously pleased to receive a Deputation of the Gentry and Inhabitants of the town of Egham and neighbourhood (con sisting of Col. Salway, Col. Challoner, G. S. Harcourt, Esq., Capt. Harcourt, John Mitchell, Esq., Mr. Wetton, Mr. Elstone, Mr. Gardener, and Mr. Hubbard), with an address of thanks for his late munificent grant of a free plate of 100 guineas to the races, to which his Majesty was pleased to re turn a most gracious answer, the outline of which we give below, but to which it is impossible to do adequate justice : COPY OF TILE ADDRESS READ DT COL. SALWAT. " May it please your Majesty—We, the inhabitants of the parish and royal manor of Egham, humbly beg permission to approach your Majesty with sentiments of the most sincere at tachment to your Royal person, and most warmly to express our deep and grateful sense of your Majesty's gracious conde scension and kindness evinced by the late munificent grant of a free plate to our long established races, by which we not only entertain a confident assurance that their prosperity will be in creased, but that the interests of the town and neighbourhood will be essentially promoted. Under the influence of this feel ing we desire to offer our humble and heartfelt thanks for the gracious patronage which your Majesty has been pleased to be stow on us and this our national sport, and for that considerate kindness of heart which (so truly characteristic of your late illustrious father) is ever promoting the happiness and welfare of all classes of your Majesty's subjects. " That your Majesty and your Illustrious Consort may be spared to reign over us in health and happiness, for many years, is the earnest and fervent prayer of your Majesty's dut ful and loyal subjects." His Majesty answered—That he most deeply felt the duti ful attention that induced this acknowledgement of an act, prompted on his part by a desire to show that he was sensible of the munificence and loyalty of a Parliament and a people that had not only enabled him to possess, as a residence, that ancient and magnificent castle, the pride of Englishmen and envy of foreigners, but to follow the dictates of his heart in furthering the wishes and promoting the happiness of every class of his people, whether of the gentlemen of large fortune, or of that class (looking towards the inhabitants of Egham) which he should always consider as forming that most import ant connecting link in a chain that binds the heart of a Sove reign to the interests and enjoyments of his people. That he considered this to be a national sport—the manly and noble sport of a free people; and that he deeply felt the pride of being able to encourage these pastimes, so intimately connected with the habits and feelings of this free country. That he could not help adverting to the spot on which they were now assembled to enjoy an amusement so truly national—a spot which derived such a peculiar claim to our veneration from the circumstance that here arose that first dawning of liberty so dear to his heart—so dear to the heart of every one of his people—that neither he nor any body could be present without calling to mind that it was here that our liberties were obtained and for ever secured; and that we were here to enjoy those liberties and sports which he would, with his utmost power, ever protect and foster, and, in so doing, never lose sight of the welfare and enjoyment of every class of his people, from the highest to the lowest. This answer, which was delivered extemporaneously, gave the highest gratification to the deputation. ABERYSTIVITH RAGES, WEDNESDAY.

The leading topic at present is the treat match for Satur day, but so equal are the men that the best judges are puzzled which to back. The men are \Vatts, Phelps, and Bartlett. Watts won the sovereign s at Lyons's last year, and Phelps this. Bartlett has been considered a very crack man, and he is equally well backed with the others. Ve can really give nothing like an idea of the betting. Watts is the favourite with some, but his match in some minds is found in Phelps. Bartlett is known as a powerful and game man, but the same credit as regards the latter requisite, is not given in the same extent to Watts. Phelps has shown himself a thorough game man, and amongst the three there is, we repeat, much difficulty in choosing. There is considerable betting on it, If Phelps does as well as he did in the math of Lyons, lie ought to win ; but should there be any fouling between the leading two in the start the third man must win. It is a very uncertain wager to lay money on. THE MOORS. Grouse sho?ting, which commenced on the 12th instant, is THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 18ii still pursued with unabated ardour. By all the accounts from Rokburgh and the neighbouring counties, it would appear that the birds are numerous, and rise strong on the wing, and much excellent sport has been enjoyed by a great number of sports men. It has seldom occurred that game has been so abundant as this season. The Duke of Roxburgh has been enjoying the amusement of shooting on the Lammermoor hills since the 12th. On the first day of the campaign his party was parti cularly successful, having killed upwards of fifty brace of birds, thirty-three of which were knocked down by his Lordship. On the Athole mountains, and Badenoch and Lochaber districts, the long continued severity of the weather delayed the process of incubation to so late a period, that the birds will not be ready on these grounds for a week or two yet ; numbers have actually been caught by the hand, and although the boxes from these quarters are fully equal to an average of sea sons, the sport, in its true sense, has been almost annihilated. On the low grounds tile birds are in better condition, and on well preserved hills the sport has not been amiss. Colonel Paterson bagged fifty-two brace on the 12th, of which two thirds, perhaps, might be small, and the others an average size ; another party on the same hill shot forty.one brace. It would, we believe, have been desirable for all parties had the commencement of the season been delayed to tl:e Ist of September. A great many gentlemen have passed through Huntly for the moors this season. In this neighbourhood we have several parties of sportsmen, who, we hear, have been very successful. M. Hodges. Esq., M. P., and a party, at Huntly Lodge, bag ged, on Friday, no fewer than seventy brace, on the moors of Gartly. The accounts from the moors are extremely favour able. Grouse, moor partridges, and blackcocks were never known to be wore plentiful than they are at present ; and a rich treat is anticipated by sportsmen generally. Abundance of game have been found this year on the moun tains of Galloway and Nithsdale ; and they have had excellent sport. On the estates of Raehills and Dalswinton the grouse this year have been abundant. The Marquis of Salisbury is gone on a grouse shooting ex cursion to Scotland. The Earl of Darlington is gone, accompanied by a party, in cluding the Recorder of Dublin, to shoot grouse in Perthshire. The Marquis of Anglesey has arrived at Beau Dessert for the shooting season. The Noble Marquis is in good health. The Duke of Rutland, Sir R. Peel, the Marquis of Granby, and Lord George Manners, commenced grouse shooting on the Derbyshire moors on the 12th inst. Birds were found in abundance, contrary to the expectations of the sportsmen and the keepers, who had anticipated a scarcity. The party shot between 40 and 50 brace of grouse. Good sport was general. the cause of others ; forced as I have been to defend per sons as well as principles, almost single handed, in this town of Liverpool, I appeal to you whether my salary alone can be any compensation for my services ? " Mr. Grant has not taken any part in the management for nearly two years. but I am sorry to sa y th at t h e con duct of Mr. T. B. Horsfall, in which Mr. Robertson Glad stone, by an unaccountable infatuation, has acquiesced, has proved anything but what I should have expected, and had a right to demand at their hands—to use the mildest terms, it is conduct inconsistent with honour and justice. The policy of it is to me perfectly inexplicable. They have had for some time in their service an illiterat e and ignorant per son of the name of Pattisson as the publisher of the Liver pool Standard, and on Friday last, without a complaint from them, without either questioning my integrity or my ability, and without a single day's notice, or the slightest decency or civility, I received a letter from the publisher, informing me that my services as editor of the paper would be no longer required. " The only reason given for this harsh treatment was, I would not consent to renew the contract, or enter into any prospective co-partnership with, or hold any appoint ment under, this person. They wished me to be the ser vant of their clerk ! I cannot submit to this. I would not accept such terms from any man. If I had the bene fit of a private conference with you, I should state satis factory reasons why I cannot form any connection with, or place the slightest dependence on, a person who, in a court of law, has sworn that the money necessary for car rying on the Liverpool Standard is his, and that no person has any control over him.* All that I ask—all that I have ever asked is, that the nominal or the delegated pro prietors shall assign all the debts due to the Liverpool Standard to responsible trustees—give them power to pay the debts of the concern, as the money can be conveniently spared from the capital, and when these are paid, but not till then, give me an interest in the copyright equal to that originally held out to me, and even recently assented to by Mr, T. B. Horsfall and Mr. Robertson Gladstone. "They have, however, for reasons unknown to me, under the influence of some caprice, of which eventually they must feel ashamed, in the indifference, perhaps, of' feelings created by new attachments—done that unnecessarily, vexatiously, and without provocation, which has excited the astonishment of my friends, and inflicted a deep insult and injury upon me. " To show you how amicably disposed I am, I have con sulted a mutual friend, Mr. Duncan Gibb, and by his ad vice my case is at present in the hands of Mr. North, soli. citor. Mr. North has hitherto acted more in a friendly spirit. than in any professional capacity, and he has advised that the matter in dispute should be brought under the notice and review of the original subscribers. This of course will be done, if necessary ; but I have preferred writing to you in the first instance. I was advised by ano ther friend to address a letter to the Marquis of Salisbury, who, along with yourself, was one of the founders of the paper. But, upon consideration, I have deemed it more respectful towards you, from your near connection with some of the parties I have named, to make you the con fidant of what I shall, for the present, consider a strictly private communication. " One word, Sir, as to my object in addressing you. I wish to avoid party disunion ; I am unwilling to bring my claims before a court of law. I seek nothing but justice, and in that spirit, under Mr. Gibb's adVice and his kind interference, I have, for the sake of amity, confided in Mr. North. But I may not deem it imperative to confide in him exclusively ; the conduct of the opposite party may lead to unpleasant consequences. My future procedure, however, will be regulated by your reply to this.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, " R. ALEXANDER. " To John Gladstone, Esq., &c. &c. &c." " Edinburgh, July 10, 1836. " Sir—As I was leaving Fasque yesterday morning, your letters of the 6th and 7th were received. By these I am sorry to learn that differences or misunderstandings exist betwee n you and the publisher of the Liverpool Stan dard; and from the way they are related, I should fear that they include the managing proprietors of the paper. I should have pleasure in giving any assistance that might be in my power, in order to bring about a better under standing and goodwill between you ; but I am deprivo4 of the power to make the attempt by your desire, that I should consider your communications for the present as strictly private. " It is said that one story is good till another is told ; and to make me master of the subject, so as to form a cor rect judgment of it& merits, I consider it would, in the first place, be necessary for me to transmit your letters to my sons for their perusal and observations, as you state that the three were parties to the original arrangements that were entered into with you.

(From the . Liverpool Chroni c l e .) . ----- ----- - - CURIOUS AND INTERESTING CORRESPON DENCE BETWEEN MESSRS. ALEXANDER AND GLADSTONE. Although the following correspondence has been printed ' and publicly handed about on 'Change for several days back, still we think it may serve to amust, and interest those of our readers who have not yet seen it. We particularly call public attention to the names of certain parties who figure in it, as having an interest in, and power and autho rity over, the Standard newspaper up to the present time, although those same parties have, under the dread of being personally responsible for their impertinences, over and over again, to use their own solemn words, disowned and denied the same, "as men, as gentlemen, and as Ch r i s ti ans ." If society in all its grades does not at once put the mark of exclusion upon such persons, and insert their names in its Index expurgatorius, low, indeed, must Liverpool, be sunk in the tone of morality and honour. We have some faint recollections of more than one correspondence in which that saintly personage, Mr. T. B. Horsfall, most solemnly and sacredly washed his hands of all connection with the newspaper in question. We know that his father, Mr. Horsfall, senior, has frequently done the same on be half of his son. A very recent instance was in the case of the Christmas-day manifesto against the Reform Candidates for the New Council. And yet it now ap pears, both from Messrs. Alexander's and Gladstone's let ters, that he has been one of the Committee of manage ment from first to last, an d i n f act i t wou ld seem that he has, in the matter, acted the part of the tempter to Mr. Robertson Gladstone. Mr. T. B. Horsfall is very well known in Liverpool, but as an explanation of his conduct to the public is beyond our boundaries, we would just men tion that he is a Christian par excellence, one of the same sect of Pharisees with Exeter Hall M‘Ghee and " imagi nation M'Ncile," all " good men and true." 'We earnestly hope that every letter and every denial connected with this matter will now be re-published. Our readers will pass from sighing over such stains upon manhood, to smile at the trait of character in the ancient merchant who, worth a million, yet hucksters with his correspondent about the saving of a postage. And we would point out to our Lon don Contemporaries the name of that factious Peer, the Marquis of Salisbury, as being, in part, owner of a pro vincial paper. No wonder the Tory Lords did not like the registration clause in the Stamp Bill. It would have revealed many a secret such as we get at here, and we should have seen the ramifications of the faction in every quarter. We cannot help thinking that Mr. Alexander has been very hardly dealt with by the Tory gang. We have no doubt, however, that be will make them bitterly rue the line of conduct which they have pursued towards him. We think the ardour for joint-stock newspapers will somewhat cool after this exposure. " [PRIVATE AND • CONFIDENTIAL.] " Low-hill, Liverpool, July 6, 1836. " think it my duty to make a communication to you of a nature very painful to my feelings, but one which, I am confident, will, from the interest you take in Liver pool, and the parties concerned, command your attention,if it do not provoke your interference. " You are aware that in 1832 you and forty-three other gentlemen subscribed a sum of money to establish the Liverpool Standard. The money thus subscribed was sup plied as intended. In November, 1832, the paper com menced, the first number of which caused great dissatisfac tiOn to those who were willing to support a Conservative journal, and who had placed almost unlimited confidence in its projectors and directors. In short, I need not remind you that its first effort was a decided failure. In the early part of 1833 the paper was fast sinking into contempt—its conductors and miscellaneous contributors only excited public ridicule—and it was clear that a few more months of such inefficient management and abortive writing would ex haust its capital and consign it to oblivion. " In this dilemma, the accredited mana g er applied through a third party to me, who urged me to undertake the editor ship. I was then residing in London, in the receipt of a larger income, derived from my professional labours, than any I have enjoyed since. It was, therefore, with great re luctance, as can be preyed, that I undertook the hazardous task of reclaiming a sinking concern, and giving spirit, character, and utility to that which had been pronounced discreditable to the Conservative cause. But being made acquainted with the enterprise of the people of Liverpool, I consented to forego present advantages, in the hope of prospective remuneration. But before I agreed to undertake this duty, I had the assurance of two, gentlemen that the conditions I stipulated for should be strictly and faithfully fulfilled. I cannot but speak with respect of those gentlemen, when I name Messrs. Thomas and William Ewart Gladstone. In the interview with them, I stated that the sura subscribed (2,3000 was insufficient to carry on, with any chance of success, a paper which was published twice a-week ; they, however, satisfied me by stating that whatever funds were necessary would be cheerfully provided. " Being thus assured as to the means, I agreed to con duct The Liverpool Standard, on condition that I should be paid for three years certain 350/. per annum, and have one-half of the profits which might arise from the paper ; the other half to be applied to the liquidation of the ca pital. It was also expressly stipulated, and made the basis of the whole arrangement, that, in case of success, I should have a permanent and continuous interest in the paper, to the extent of two-thirds, not less than one-half, and pro bably the whole of the copyright. "On these terms I departed for Liverpool. On my ar rival here I found the paper in the bands of persons ut terly incompetent, and I had considerable difficulties to overcome in introducing various improvements. As my mode of management seemed to give satisfaction, and as the paper was rapidly becoming popular with our party, a con tract was at length proposed and executed between Mr. George Grant, Mr. Robertson Gladstone, and Mr. Thomas Berry Horsfall, for you and the other gentlemen on the one part, and myself on the other. The contract is for three years certain,' from the 9th March, 1833, and con tains covenants to the effect before mentioned. My powers arc defined, and my duties prescribed in thn usual terms. " It is not denied that I have faithfully, a n d success f u ll y (I shall not say ably), fulfilled my part of th..i honourable engagement. All I shall call your attention to on this point is, that from a losing concern I have raised it to be a profitable one ;—that I have increased the eirculatien from about one thousand to twenty-six hundred a week, the advertisem e nt s f r om forty to an aver age o f a b out one hundred and t wen ty p e r day, and that I h ave made the Liverpool Standard, the first, the most independent, and the most effivient political organ out of London. " To this effect as regards the facts, 1 beg to lay you under the obiigativa of 'admitting Omni , I .appeal to you whether I have not performed my duty, and fulfilled my contract. I appeal to you whether I have not had a dis agreeable duty to perform, vilified as I have been, on all sides, by the Radical journals ; attacked as I have been in this assumed authority, or treat with you in any other Ca pacity than as the publisher of that paper. You know you have no property in it, no right or title to interfere wi t h or controul me ; that you cannot legally acquire any pr jperty in the paper without my c onsen t ; an d, moreover, t .fi a t no one can otherwise convey to you any r i g ht or s h are i.' 1 it with out violating engagements and c omm itti ng a fraud upon me. " For these reasons I shall pay no attention whatever to the contents of your letter. "R. ALEXAP.DER." The conduct pursued by the Tories yesterlay shows the intense anxiety and alarm which the very fear of the fore going disclosures has occasioned to them. Personal appli cations and persuasions have failed in their effect. We re ceived, after the whole was in type, the follow;ng document, which we add as a further corroboration of the truth of the previous correspondence. To the appeal made to us on the ground of the letters being strictly private and con fidential we should have at once listened, but that it is alto gether a fallacy, copies being in the hands of m any i„di v i_ duals, and even having been sent to some of our London contemporaries. We presume Mr. Robertson Gladstone being in Scotland, must have telegraphed Mr. Carson to act as his solicitor. " Liverpool, Aug. 19, 1836. " To Messrs. Ross and Nightingale, publishers of the Li- verpool Chronicle. " Gentlemen—We, the undersigned, on behalf of our respective clients, do hereby request that you will not pub lish in the above newspaper, or otherwise, certain copies of letters or correspondence which passed between Mr. Ro bert Alexander, the late editor of the Liverpool Standard, and Mr. John Gladstone, of Fasque, in the month of July last, relative to the last-mentioned newspaper, and Which correspondence, we are informed, has come into your pos session ; our reason (amongst other things) for such request being, that the said letters are strictly private and con fidential, and so expressed to be, as we are ilfri - ned, the copy which has come into your possession, Ana whi c h, therefore, could not be parted with by any person to whom it was sent without a breach of gaud faith.

Mr. Alexander would seem to doubt the fact of Mr. Pattisson's being the " sole proprietor " of the Standard, but it appears from Mr. Pattisson's evidence that he was the sole proprietor. --Ed. Liverpool Chronicle. Mr. Richard Pattisson sworn, said—l am the publisher of the Standard. I succeeded Mr. Franceys, and collect debts due in his time.

Cross-examined by Mr. Hall.—l never applied to the pri soner for the money. He was in the Standard office before me. At first I received wages, but am now the sole proprie tor of the &endard newspaper. I pay all expenses. I pai the rent to Mr. Wason for the offices in Wason's-buildings.

Witness—l do. I have the absolute control. I dismiss or engage all persons connected with tha paper. There is to other proprietor. The receipt given by the prisoner is drawn out in the name of Franeeys. Mr, Hall—Pray, Mr. Pattisson, as you were no atlirst 1":o -prietor, from whom did you purchase the paper ? - Witness—l purchased the paper, December ;7th, from Mr. Franceys ; I succeeded Mr. Franceys. Mr. Hall—You say you have ft Witness—l do, . - e sole co n t ro l ? . Mr. Hall—Nu one interferes with you? Witness —_No one ;no one can interfere. Mr,\Vhofinds the money to carry on the concern. Witness—l do. Mr. Hall—Out of your own pocket ? Witness—Out of :ay own pocket. Mr. Hall—Every shilling of it ? Witness—Every shilling of it. Mr. Henderson interposed—He did not think Mr. Hall was justified in this line of cross-examination. The Recorder thought, that as the witness answered unhe sitatingly, there could be no objection. Mr. Hall (to witness)—Do you mean to tell the Court and Jury that you are the real proprietor ; that there are no indi viduals whose funds you are appointed-- Mr. Henderson—This is going too far. The Recorder was of the same opinion, but, after a long conversation on the point, Mr. Hall resumed. Mr. Hall—l ask, in point of fact, who supplies the funds? Witness—l supply my own funds. I have sworn that lam tho sole proprietor; and, with submission, I don't think I am called on to disclose the sources from whence my funds arc derived. Mr. Hall—Arc you prepared to swear that individuals have not told you to say that you are proprietor ? NVitness—l am. Mr. Hall—Are you to enjoy the profit and bear the loss ? Witness—Certainly. I said that no person either directly or indirectly interfered with me. I have to account to no one. I have not to account to any other person for any pro fits that may arise. The prisoner was engaged to look after advertisements, and not to collect cash. I took the office from Mr. Wagon, and pay rent for it. Mr. Sharp had formerly something to do with the Standard. He left last June, and has had nothing to do with the concern since. Re-examined—l rent two offices from Mr. Holme and Mr. Mulyneaux. I hold the office under them. They hold from Mr. Wason. The prisoner was not:authorised to receive the money from Mr. Claypole. The prisoner was acquitted. [FROM THE LIVERPOOL ALBION.] " TO THE EDITOR OF THE ALBION. " Sir—l observe that a correspondence between Mr. Gla dstone and Mr. Alexander, late editor of the Liverpool Standard, printed by the latter, for private circulation, has found its way into the pages of a Liverpool paper. " I do Mr. Alexander the justice to believe that it has been published without his consent ; and, assuming such to be the case, I do not feel that I should be warranted in so far deviating from the terms of an arbitration to which all parties have assented, as to publish at present any reply to the statements contained in that correspondence.

These observations we shall .postpone till our next, in the hope that some of the parties implicated in the affair will, mean while, offer explanations respecting transactions which seem very discreditable to certain persons. --- ----- RUSSIAN QUA RANTINE.—The Abram .Gazette has a letter from a correspondent at Gallatz, who gives an ac count of a voyage which he made in a steam-ship to the Sulina mouth of the Danube, and into the Black Sea. lie says—" At Sulina we were questioned by the Russian coast guard respect ing the name of the vessel, its destination, and quality of the persons on board. No other formalities took place. I saw no quarantine building on either side of the river, nor any prepa rations for erecting it. We were told that this work was to be commenced in two months (this was at the end of June.) The announced establishment of this quarantine at Sulina, and the regulations respecting it, which are published, have caused a degree of consternation here (at Gallatz) and Ibrailow ; people giving way to the apprehension, which is probably pre mature and unfounded, that the Russian Government, alleg ing the Treaty of Adrianople in the same manner as it last year included the great island of Lety in the quarantine line, on the pretext of more effectually securing Bessarabia from contagion, will n ow , w i t h t h e same v i ew, extend the cordond thus to the left bank o f th e S t.

Our ReforakerA seem headstrong cha racters, rr'ci Lave not the fear of the Tories before their eyes. We hear that they absolutely dispensed with the services of the Town Scavenger a short time since, on the ground that lie attended more to his own business than to the duties of his office I! I We understand that the Tories arc so much and justly incensed at this fresh instance of Whig knaver that t t they h ave commenced a subscription to resent discharged servant with a h an d some Silver Broom, as a mark of their disapprobation of this sweepingmeasure of Reform.—Aberdeen Herald, O'CONNELL'S CLAIMS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR-A long residence in Ireland, during which I had opportunities of beholding the inhabitants under very striking circumstances, brought me to a confident belief that their position is the heaviest grievance in the civilized world, and the prejudice against O'Connell the greatest fal lacy of modern times. If a jury of Englishme n had re sided there during the same period, they would have found no difficulty in considering their verdict. Things assume a very different character when you see them with your own eyes. " A word on the spot is worth a thousand after thoughts." The prejudice against O'Connell arose from the associ ation of his name with Whitefeet, and other midnight le gislators. The effect remains, though the cause is forgot ten ; this association of ideas arose in great measure from his extraordinary talent in cross-examining witnesses, whichh, induced the attorneys constantly to employ him ; the cases e according to the Report of a Committee of the House ea' Lords, were conducted in the most slovenly manner : the whole weight of proof used to be thrown on the prisoner to show that he was not the individual, and scarcely any proof was expected to slim that he was. It was therefore easy for a barrister of talent to break up such cases depen ding entirely on thief-takers and King's evidence, especially When the barrister thought them, or at least their families . not less unfortunate for being guilty. It was also impossible not to see that the country might be worse without the Whitefeet. I firmly believe that the Irish, when looked after, always pay ae much rent as Th e y can. The agrarian outrages have never appeared txcept when a great fall of prices v between landlord and t :rtually nullified the contract profits of the Irishman, nant. Thelrishman, on is not the be_.,t• farmer in the world, deper.ding entirely `l.epend consequently on the arP.trary values we on grain. to money and to grain. Without presuming to touch on a subject at once so difficult, and, unfortunately, so dis tasteful, it is enough to say that there have been - great fluctuations ; that prices are sometimes hoisted by the Lords, and sometimes hauled down by the Bank Directors. This humour of ours, like other humours, falls on the weakest part of the empire : all these fluctuations are fatal to the Irishman. He has no capital ; his share of his own. earnings is the smallest assignable : the prices tali, and her has nothing ; yet, out of this nothing he must pay! He is racked already above a rack-rent, every demand becomes a tax on existence, the potatoes are literally taken off his children's plates, and he is sent to the road-side. Self preservation, the first law, the supremo lex, is turned against this humani alienum. Meantime Captain Rock becomes the Theseus or Hercules of an outraged nation, and the bitterest thing O'Connell coe.ld say against him was, that he exasperated the persecutors of his country, and made. more effectual remedies impracticable. We cannot suppose that O'Connell had not eyes to see the handle all this gav e to his enemies ; his success in England depended on putting them down. It was a guilty impatience—all impatience is guilty z but the extremes of disgust and despair cannot be coatraed—it was a subtle anguish which no politics could aeach, unless either prices were kept steady, or unless some plan was publicly recommended enabling rents to vary with prices. It may seem superfluous to be now denying that O'Cem nell is a promoter of Whiiefeet ; but we must not forget ,that in the session of 1833, when the Coercion Bill eeassed, a reformed House of Commons voted him, in erect, the chief of those worthies, and the opening speech, e, the Ministerial expeae, confounded the whole principle of reform, including himself, the whole struggle of law against might, of right iyeainst wrong, with the wretched broils of the Sha navestse "se the horrid pleadings beforea tribunal of ass-assins. lief-are 'the next Session, the country was much too well informed to be easily driven ; 'but even then, a strong Mi e.stry was exploded and sunk, before O'Connell could be purged of his Whitefootism e There is a second subject which has given a pretext against him—that of tithes. If we are content with re moving great evils, certainly theological quarrels have been the greatest that the world ever saw. It has even beers doubted whether we have gained so much by any exterior form of religion, as we have lost by the bitter zeal of dis putants e or, whether the reality of truth has ever visibly done so much good, as the appearances of truth have visi bly done harm. By holding up a specimen of justice to mankind, O'Connell will make an immense step towards a religious concordat—his views on such subjects I take to be sin gularly wise. Each of his generous sentiments has an. expansive power, multiplying itself by a vast co-efficient ; or, like the hydraulic pressure, which is extended in au eeual degree to every point of a much larger area. If we wish that the position of the clergy should be less painful than it most undoubtedly is now—if we wish them to possess the confidence of the nation, they must declare the trusts, or cease to receive the income. The appropria tion clause can never be considered a measure of spoliation. The income was formerly collected voluntarily ; not re quired, but merely requested ; and all the mechanism of tithes is voluntary. Now, that it is proposed to change such an income into a legal provision levied by the exe cutive, an opportunity occurs to declare the trust some where : this responsibility was formerly secured by the vo luntary collection. From the dislocation of social ties in Ireland, every species of property in that country involves the strictest duties ; but, instead of this, Religion, the hig:iest of duties, becomes a species of chattel, under the name of church property, a gambling property not founded on the law of the land, nest therefore conscientiously re sisted by the filins teerw. These two subjects,--ll'hitefect as caused by a fatal medium of prices, and tithes as arising from theological odium and pride,—should always be kept foremost ; they cannot be too touch insisted on. These have been the pretences wider which the patriarch of rational liberty, the natural leader of the Movement, who hates nobody, and who slaves in the service of his enemies, has been sub jected to the most outrageous abuse. These are also the means of his usefulness, and open a prospect of avoiding much future mischief. These distorted views of' the real cause of Whiteboyism, and the real conditions of the tithe teuestions, are mere echoes of exploded Irish prejudices—nution s of dignity and interest prevailing among Orangemen, summary and san guinary judges in their owe, cause. The case is never de , . cided on merits, but on the most unjust estimate of O'Con nell's ntotives , l o l.lnded on a contemptuous ignorance of his history.. Penove the traces of that absurd idea, that he is a prO7aoter of Whitefootisin, and we gain the assistance of b.'.6 long experience, singleness of mind, firmness of purpose, patience, moderation, generosity, in the "sacred cause." Remove all nicknames of Popish pretender, dealer in for feited estates, and so on—you enable him to make a great progress in holding up to Europe what it has seldom seen— a triumph of Christian unanimity. The collection now making for him goes on a principle of compensation—it is a call for fair play, as if we said, to use a metaphor from boxing, " A ring, a ring !" fair play for O'Connell !" He is persecuted, he is out of pocket, he is oppressed by numbers ; till very lately every body was against him—Stanley and others have struck him when he was down.

See the fitte of Lord Waisingham, who iu the House of Lords opined that fire was the best punishment f'or Ireland. In a moment of inebriety he set lire to his house, and was burnt to a coal ; his guiltless wife, without any necessity, threw herself from a lofty wins , row, and survived a day, with almost every bone broken—a chapter equal to any in Lactantius De morte perseeutorum.. O'Connell h as res i gne d hi s pro f ess i on and injured his property in the service of his country ; his sons haee given up every view of' promotion except as his agents ; other in dividuals have staked their all on his integrity and his skill. For myself, " I twine my hopes" of happiceess with a cots.. vietion that I may yet be present at a Settlement of this questiim. I will never lose an opportmlity of showing .'re spect to my illustrious and truly honourable friend : my efforts to servo him have been as much above my eimpe . tence, as they are immeasurably inferior to my good will.
