The majority, however, was against him —an unanswerable proof that the people, notwithstand ing all the advantages they have derived from the Re form Bill, are not yet fully represented in Parliament. Still, it is not to be denied that the question has made considerable progress even within the walls of St. Stephen's ; for the numbers in favour of the Ballot are this year far greater in proportion than they were last year; which convinces us that at no distant date, secret voting will be the Election law of the land. As for the "un-English" c haracter of the measure, which its opponents are so, fond of dwelling on, this objection has been so ably met and refuted by Mr. GROTE, that we need do no more than recommend our readers' attention to his speech. In allusion to another equally puerile objection, that a vote is a trust, and that a man must be made responsible for it, Col. THOMP SON well observed, that " he could urge many in stances in which the Constitution and the Laws did impose on the voter, and that under the most urgent circumstances, that he should vote in secret, and in no other way." He alluded to the case of military and naval officers voting at courts-martial—exercising most important functions—sitting on cases of life or death on one man, or perhaps many men ; and the demand upon them was, to vote secretly, on the ground that' there should be no chance of mal-practices from any quarter in exercising oppression upon them. He would ask whether this was not an example which might well be followed in the exercise of the elective franchise. Our limits prevent us enlarging further on the subject of the Ballot to-day ;we shall close, therefore, with the remark, that had common sense and sound argument been allowed fair play, the ques tion would have been carried last night by a large majority. It is fearful to think that in a country such as Ire and, with a fine climate, an excellent soil, safe har bours, the first situation in the world for foreign trade, a dense population taught to look to the labour of their hands for subsistence, and not more able than willing to work—famine, gaunt famine, should annually, for months together, stalk through the land, treading down the hearts and enfeebling the hands of the miserable peasantry. The people of this country can have but a faint conception of the horrors of famine in the Sister Kingdom, norlis the frequency of such visitations of late calculated to awaken their sympathies for the sufferers, so much as to render them indignant against those who have so long protracted such a state of wretched- PRIOES OF SHARES Tins DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 24,1836. It will be seen by the answer of the Right Honour able the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, to a question from Dr. BOWRING, that the proposed re duction of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers will come into operation on the sth of July, as originally stated by the Right Honourable Gentlemfan. Lord LYNDHURST moved the second reading of the Prisoners' Counsel Bill last night in the House of Lords. What put this into the mind of the Learned Lord, we know not. Some think he meant it as a makeweight or set-off against his rejection of the Chancery Reform Bill, and other things of an unpo pular nature. But be that as it may, it is our maxim to give a worse personage than even Lord LYNDHURST his due, and therefore we cannot conscientiously with hold from him the praise of having done one meri torious action in the course of his life. This measure, so necessary to rescue the jurispru dence of England from an opprobrium to which it alone (with the exception of .Ireland) is liable, has been brought under the consideration of Parliament during the two last. Sessions. In 1834 a Bill similar to the present passed the Commons, and after being read a first time in the Lords, was no more heard of. Last year it was again introduced into the Lower House, which it passed, and proceeded as far as a Select Committee in the House of Lords ; but this took place at too late a period of the Session to get it through, and nothing farther was done than to print the evidence. The Bill has a third time reached the Lords, and we are truly ;iad to see that their Lordships have had the good sense to sanction its principle, by consent ing to its being read a second time.. We do not mean by this to say that there is any great deitth of discernment displayed in discovering the absurdity —to say nothing of the shocking injustice—of refusing a man on trial for his life, the right to address a jury of his countrymen by counsel, when that privilege is granted to the utterer of a counterfeit six pence ; but we rejoice that from whatever cause, whether from a surrender of long cherished prejudice, or out of deference to the opinion of their learned Leader, an obstacle has been removed which has hitherto pre vented the full and fair administration of justice ; and that in this respect English law will in future be more in accordance with that of other civilized countries, and, which is of still greater consequence, with the dic tates of common sense, and the principles of justice. The question of the Vote by Ballot was brought before the House of Commons last night by Mr. GROTE, whose speech on the occasion was admirably reasoned, in the closest and most convincing manner. There is not in the whole House a subtler or more forcible logician than the Hon. Member for London. He is ever cool and collected, and ready with . pertinent argument and illustration to set off his subject, which he never lets go, until he has fairly exhausted it. All that could possibly be urged on the question of the Ballot was urged by Mr. Grote last night, and his speech in consequence made a marked impression on ness. We have received letters from several high] respectable perso . ns in Ireland, stating that the labour ing poor around the whole north-western coast are in a state of the most deplorable destitution ; and what is still more disheartening, there is little or no prospect of their obtaining relief, unless the Legislature take some steps to assist them. They are literally starving ; and though many of them would work for mere sustenance, there is no one to employ them. From the potato crop—which has all but entirely failed—they can have no hope ; and thus the poor famishing crea tures must perish, if left unaided:by the Government. Now it is morally impossible that such a state of things can continue much longer, even in unhappy Ireland. The conviction that without a well-digested system of Poor Laws—a system based on the prin ciples laid down by the Poor Law Commissioners in their last Report—lreland can never be permanently prosperous, peaceable, and contented, is fast gaining ground in England and Scotland. Men begin to _ _ ... perceive that without Poor Laws capital will never flow into Ireland—the employment of the poor will never be permanent—and that the periodical return of famine must be as regular as the seasons. The situation of the poor peasantry of the North of Ire- land is not worse than the late Mr. INGLIS, in his summer Tour through Ireland, found it to be in 1830 in most of the southern districts. The following is his harrowing account of the state of the poor in the city of Limerick : " My enquiries in Limerick were prosecuted with all the care I was capable of bestowing. I spent a day in visiting those parts of the city, where the greatest destitution and mi sery prevailed. I entered upwards of forty of the abodes of poverty : and to the latest hour of my existence, I can never forget the scenes of utter and hopeless wretchedness that pre sented themselves that day. Some of the abodes I visited were garrets, some were cellars : some were hovels on the ground floor, situated in narrow yards or alleys. I will not speak of the filth of these places, they could not be exceeded in places meant to be its receptacles. Let the worst be ima gined, and it will not be beyond the truth. In at least three fourths of the hovels which I visited, there was no furniture of any description, save an iron-pot ;no table, no chair, no bench, no bedstead, two or three little bunches of straw, with perhaps one or two scanty and rugged mats were rolled up in the corner. The inmates were some of them old, crooked, and diseased ; some younger, but emaciated, and surrounded by starving children ; some were sitting on the damp ground, some stand ing, and many were unable to rise from their little straw heaps. In scarcely one hovel could I find a potatoe. In one which I entered, I noticed a small opening into an inner room I I lighted a bit of paper at the embers of a turf which lay in the chimney, and looked in. It was a cellar wholly dark, and about twelve feet square : two bundles of straw lay in two corners : on one sat a bed-ridden woman ; on another lay two naked children, literally naked, with a torn rag of some kind thrown over them both. But I saw even worse than this. In a cellar which I entered, and which was almost quite dark, and slippery with damp, I found a man sittinc , on a little sawdust. He was naked, be had not even a shirt ; a'filthy and ragged mat was round him : this man was a living skeleton, the bones all but protruded through the skin : he was literally starving." "In place of forty hovels, I might have visited hundreds. I did not select, and I have no reason to believe that the forty which I visited were the abodes of greater wretchedness than those I passed by." Were the above related of African savages, the House of Commons would not lose a moment in adopt- ing some measure calculated to remove, or at least di minish, such a mass of-misery: But as it only regards Ireland, years are allowed to roll over before any.,Steps are taken to, alleviate the distresses of the sufferers. Let the advocates of the efficiency of voluntary sympa thy test the truth of their doctrine by this fearful ac count of the misery of the poor of Limerick. If that be not enough, they need only turn to the evidence given before the Irish Poor Law Commissioners in the course of the last year. They will hardly turn up a page which will not supply them with such paragraphs as the following : " In the parish of Castletown, County Westmeath, nut of a population of 10,553 there were 7,070 sleeping on the floors of damp cabins without bedsteads." " There is one village of 45 families, comprising 206 souls, having only 39 blankets ; 16 of these families, being 84 per sons, havingbut 7:1 blankets among them, that is one blanket to every 12 persons; these blankets are scarcely anything bet ter than spent worn-out rags. Many have no blankets at all, but sleep on the floor, having no covering but the rags they wear by day." The cup of misery here is so full, that a single drop must cause it to overflow. Here is permanent starvation in one shape ; so that nothing remains but to diminish the peasants' supply of vegetable nutri ment, to make them miserable to an extent of which happily Englishmen can form no adequate conception. We trust, however, that the Government will extend a helping hand to the sufferers, till a Bill can be brought forward, for compelling the landlords to be come the natural guardians and protectors of their harassed and oppressed tenantry. The French papers of Wednesday have been re ceived. We find the following in the official columns of the Moniteur : A despatch from Bayonne announces that, on the 15th of June, the Carlists Chiefs declared to Don Carlos that • the troops, being no longer able to subsist, were determined on transferring operations to Arragon. Endeavours were made to appease them by distributing to them the reserves of grain of the Amescoas; but another Council was to be held on the 19th of June. Private letters from St. Sebastian state, that Gen, EVANS is so disgusted with the intrigues carried on by CORDOVA against the Legion, that it is doubtful whether he will remain in Spair till the Close of the THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1536. summer's campaign. He has already returned the Grand Cross of the Order of San Fernando, presented to him by the QUEEN, in consideration of the victory of the sth of May. The Hon. and Gallant Member for Westminster would have acted more prudently had he taken the advice of his friends here, who frequently sought to impress upon him that CORDOVA was his enemy, not his friend—a backstairs intriguer and fifth-rate diplomatist, not a soldier. But having embarked in the cause of liberty and the QUEEN, we cannot see in what way pique or personal neglect would justify his desertion of the Qv EEN' s standardbefere the subjugation of the Carlists. We never expected that he would be well treated in the end—we never looked for aught but ingratitude, at the hands of the Spanish Government ; but that had no weight with us, when the question at issue was liberty .or slavery—a Constitution grounded on prin ciples of human freedom—or the will of an ignorant superstitious despot. There is no domestic intelligence of any interest in the French Papers. PARIS, JUNE 21.—We are assured that M. Rayneval has again pressed on cur Government the necessity of an inter vention. On the accession of M. Isturiz to the Ministry, the French Ministry, it is added, applied to the Ambassador for a statement of the situation of Spain. M. de Rayneval obeyed these orders, and in a very detailed memorial, after giving a complete account of the situation and the strength of the se veral parties, he is said to have demonstrated that the new elections could not fail to produce a great majority contrary to the system of M. Isturiz, and to have come to the conclusion that before the end of the year the Queen's Government would be overthrown by the violent party, unless France in tervened to put an end to the civil war, and to support the Royal Statute. JUNE 22.—Marshal Clausel has been invited to a conference at the residence of the President of the Council, with the Mi- nister of War and two members of the Committee. We are afraid that it is in contemplation to organize a native auxiliary corps, both cavalry and infantry. General Baudrand does not accompany the Princes into Italy ; he is every day expected at Paris. It is still supposed that the King of Naples will come to Paris.—Messager, June 22.

Our arrivals this morning are the French, Ostend, and Dutch mails ; ship letters from Boston, New Orleans, and Demerara ; and from Sydney, March 2. We have received New York papers to the 28th of May, and Boston to the Ist of Juno. We make the following ex tracts from the New York papers : WASHINGTON, MAY 25.—The report of the Select Com mittee, on the abolition of slavery, was the first business on hand. Mr. Robinson resumed and finished his remarks, in support of his motion, to recommit the report, denying that Congress possessed the constitutional authority to interfere with the institution of slavery in the district of Colombia, or any of the territories of the United States. In the course of his speech he referred to the letter of Van Buren on this sub ject, and declared its language to be equivocal and evasive. Here Mr. Adams started up, and begged that the particular portion of the Vice-President's letter might be read. It was read accordingly, and the manifest and elaborate non-corn mital character of the expressions, excited much laughter. Mr. Robinson rung the changes upon them—Mr. Van Buren could not satisfy himself that Congress had not the power, &c.—he could not feel himself safe—a strong effort was made to prevent the application of the political axe, by calling for the Orders of the Day, but a majority were against it. The Speaker then decided that the next step was to ascertain whether there was a seconder to the demand for the previous question. Mr. Adams appealed, and was proceeding to speak, when the Speaker interrupted him, and required the point of order to be reduced to writing. Mr. Adams, with great vehemence—" Let the Chair put its decision in writing." _—(Cries of " Order, order," on all sides.) The Speaker repeated his remark, and the Ex-President then took his seat and his pen; but after writing a few words, threw it aside, started up, and commenced to speak in a high key. His words were, however, lost amid the noise and con fusion that prevailed. Mr. Lee called him to order ; but Mr. Adams never faultered, stating—" Sir, I do not think there is a majority here who will sanction the attempt to stifle debate— (' Order, order I')—and therefore I withdraw my appeal." Several Members attempted to address the House, but were assailed with loud cries of " Order !" and shouts of " Go on ! " The confusion became tremendous. At last, upon the Chair stating that the effect of the main question would be to cut off all amendments, and confine the question to concurrence in the resolutions, Mr. Adams again appealed, and was told he would not be permitted to debate it. " What !" he exclaimed, "an appeal from the Speaker's decision not debateable?" The Chair—" The House has so decided." The New York Enquirer of the 23d of May, has the subjoined : LIBERTY AND TEXAS :—Texas Free ! Santa Anna a pri. soner of War—the independence of Texas acknowledged—the expenses of the war paid by Mexico—Santa Anba a hostage for the fulfilment of the conditions I The great and glorious news of which the above is the substance, was brought to us by a special messenger, who left Washington yesterday morni n g, and arrived at our office at half. past eleven o'Clock, bringing with him New Orleans Papers of the 9th inst., conveying to us th,3 gratifying intelligence that the tyrant Santa Anna is in truth a prisoner of war, and that he had agreed to acknowledge the independence of Texas—paying the expenses of the war— and remain himself a hostage for the fulfilment of these conditions. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the LORDS' last night. the Stafford Disfranchisement Bill again engaged their Lordships until five o'clock. A petition was presented from several architects who competed for the prize offered for the best plan of the new houses of Parliament. They prayed to be heard by Counsel at the bar of the House. The Prisoners' Counsel Bill was read a second time. The Instrument of Sasine (Scotland) Bill and the Sale of Bread Bill went through Committee and were reported. In the COMMONS' the principal topic of discussion grew out of Mr. Grote's motion for leave to bring in a Bill to provide that the votes at elections for Members of Parliament should he taken by Ballot. There were only 227 Members present at the division, and of those, 139 voted against Mr. Grote's motion. Mr. Hindley withdrew his motion relative to the Factory Act; Lord J. Russell promising that measures would be adopted to prevent the evasion of the present Act. Leave was then given to bring in several Bills. • It was stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that the New Stamp Duties generally would come into operation on the Ist of January, and that on Newspapers the sth July. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) MURRAY V. CURRE. This was an action brought by a land-agent and auctioneer to recover Commission on the sale of an estate belonging to the defendant, situate near Cardiff, in Glamorganshire. A ne gociation had been opened for its sale with a gentleman named Protheroe, but after some letters had passed between the plaintiff and him, he applied to another land-agent, who had also been employed by the defendant to look out for a pur• chaser, and the estate was ultimately sold for a sum of B,sool.—The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 401.

He accor di ng l y took up the pint -of gin and drunk it off. The momentary frenzy which the ardent spirit created was speedily f o ll owe d by a state of insensibility, and he expired in a few h ours after wards in his employer's stables adjoining. He had been for several years known as one of the smartest coachmen on that road. ELECTION OF SHERIFFS. A Common Hall was held this day for the purpose of electing Sheriffs, Chamberlains, and other corporate officers for the City of London, for the ensuing year. At one o'clock the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Recorder, and the City-officers, appeared upon the hustings, and were re ceived with cheers. _ vv Proclamation having been made in the usual manner, The RECORDER came forward and addressed the meeting. They were assembled, according to annual custom, to elect Sheriffs and other City-officers. He would beg to read to them a resolution, which had been passed at a Common- Council on the 22d June last, recommending the abolition of the office of Ale-conner, on the death or resignation of the present holder. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen having retired, The COMMON- SERJEANT read the list of those eligible to be elected to the office of Sheriff. Mr. Alderman JOHNSTON, whose name was first on the list, begged to be . excused from serving. Mr. TRAVERS then came forward to propose Mr. James Duke, coal-factor, as a fit and proper person to serve the office of sheriff. Mr. Travers alluded to the public conduct of Mr. Duke, which he said had been always characterized by an anxious desire to promote the welfare and the best interests of his fellow-citzens.—( Hear, hear. ) Mr. B. Woon seconded the proposition, and bore testimony to the independence and integrity of character of Mr. Duke. Mr. WILSON proposed Mr. Tegg, who was also a trades man of the city of London, and who had realized a fortune, as a fit person to serve the office of sheriff. Mr. TYERS seconded the motion. Mr. Deputy BLACKIE had been requested by Mr. Alderman Thomas Wood to beg that he might be excused from serving.— ( Hear. ) Mr. PRIOR apologised for Mr. Alderman White, who also begged to be excused from serving. Thelist of names was then gone through, and the Sheriffs declared that the show of hands was in favour of Messrs. Duke and Tegg, and these gentlemen were declared duly elected. Sir James Shaw was proposed as Chamberlain for the en suing year, which was carried unanimously. Sir JAMES SHAW returned thanks. The Bridgemasters, Aleconners, and other officers were then appointed, after which the Common Hall was dissolved. SUGAR DUTIES.

TILES OF FAS lIION AND REALITY. BY CAROLINE FREDERICA BEAUCLERK, AND HENRIETTA MARY RIVAUCLERK. Smith, Elder, and Co., London, 1836. The Misses Beauclerk are a pair of very clever young ladies, and tell their tales of Fashionable Life with an ease and a grace worthy of their high breed ing. We have only to regret that they are all of too sombre a cast to suit our taste for fictions—unless in deed where, like " Vathek," such fictions belong to the highest order of purely imaginative productions. We have also a very great objection to the constant interlarding of English and French phrases which oc curs in almost every page of this work. It may be true that the language which the Misses Beauclerk put into the mouths of their fashionable heroes and heroines is a transcript of what is spoken in the highest circles. This we will take for granted on their autho rity. But the custom is a bad one ; and therefore we cannot allow it to pass without censure, lest it might descend to those who are yet free from its contamina tion. With a language inferior to no modern tongue in strength, in harmony, in heart-felt tenderness, and in variety of expression, it is worse than ridiculous to see the attempts of every modern Miss to improve it by the introduction of a boarding-school jargon, which is neither French nor English. We can believe that in the highest circles such a jargon is in very high repute, but the reason is that three-fourtits of the females who compose it are notoriously ignorant of the riches of their native tongue. When, therefore, such jargon is introduced in tales of fashionable life, let it be with a view to ridtcule a custom which we trust will never descend to the respectable middling classes. This volume, which is inscribed to the Duchess of St. Alban's by her affectionate cousins the authors, is, we are told, the first of a series. As such we give it a kindly welcome. With all its faults it embodies four times the interest, and more than as many times the talent, to be found in three fourths of the novels pub lished this season. We have here and there a few scattered pieces of poetry, which we could easily dis pense with. The Misses Beauclerk are clever tale writers, but very indifferent versifiers. TRAVELS and ADVENTURES in EASTERN AFRICA, DESCRIPTIVE of the ZOOLAS, their MANNERS, CUSTOMS, &c. EY NATHANIEL ISAACS. In 2 Vols. Edward Churton, London, 1836. The author of these very interesting volumes has here thrown together, in the form of a diary, the expe rience of seven years spent in constant communication with the savage tribes of South-eastern Africa. In 1822, Mr. Isaacs, then only fourteen years of age, left England for the house of his maternal Uncle, a respect able merchant at St. Helena. He arrived in safety ; remained with his Uncle in the capacity of clerk and assistant for two years : when, finding, like Crusoe, that his love of rambling was not to be overcome, he joined Lieutenant King on a voyage to Natal, on the south-eastern coast of Africa, in quest of a Lieutenant Farewell, who had years before started for that port, and was supposed to have fallen into the hands of the savages. The voyage was made in safety till the vessel entered the Bay of Natal, where she was wrecked. All on board, were, however, saved, and the shipwrecked crew had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. Farewell's people, who had the good fortune to obtain the protec tion of the Zoola King, who, though otherwise a ruth less savage, treated them with every mark of friend ship. Mr. Isaacs landed in Natal in 1825, and during his residence, penetrated some hundreds of miles into the interior, carrying on a bartering trade with the na tives for ivory. He describes the country as very beau tiful and well-watered ; the air as mild and genial ; the soil as rich, loamy, and productive ; and the climate as healthy and agreeable to Europeans. The natives, par ticularly the Zoolas, are a fine race of people, and ca pable of social and moral improvement. The Eu ropeans shipwrecked at Natal formed a settlement in which they were assisted by the natives, who were do cile, obedient, and much attached to the " Malangoes," or white men ; and we have every reason to conclude that the place would have soon become the nucleus of a flourishing and extensive colony, but for the avarice and strife of the officers. While Mr. Isaacs remained there Lieutenant King died, and Lieutenant Farewell was murdered while making an excursion in the Inte rior. The former was a gallant, generous, noble minded man, whose conduct procured for him the re spect of his own people, and the veneration of the natives, who looked up to him as a being superior to all others. A great deal of very useful information may be ga thered from these volumes with respect to the manners, customs, usages, laws, government, and religious cere monies of the south-eastern African tribes. The author, with great modesty, admits his incompetence to detail more than what appeared on the surface ; being, as he states himself, but indifferently educated, and having neither leisure nor means for further self-improvement after arriving at years of discretion. It is greatly to be regretted that he knew nothing of botany and geology— the latter especially, inasmuch as the natives pointed out to him mountains whence they formerly dug a white ore, which he believed to be silver, but which they were then forbidden to dig by the King, lest the spirits would kill them. Mr. Isaacs complains much of the indifference of the British Colonial Authorities at the Cape, and assures his readers that nothing but en terprise is wanted to render Natal one of the finest British settlements in the world. THE NEW STATISTICAL ACCOUNT OF SCOTLAND. No. X. Cadell, London, 1836. The Tenth Number of this admirable work, which is embellished with a map of Renfrewshire, contains a topographical, historical, and botanical account of the parishes of Renfrew, Pollock, Houston, Kilmalcolm, Port-Glasgow, Lochwinnoch, and Inchinnin, in the county of Renfrew ; and of the parishes of Cupar, Callessie, Monimail, Abdie, Newburgh, Ferry Port on-Craig, King's Barns, King's Kettle, Leslie, New burn, Dysart, and Abbotshall, in the county of Fifc. The several accounts of these parishes are by the Rev. Messrs. Macfarlan, Logan, Monteath, Cameron, Barr, Smith, Lockhart, Adamson, Binel, Macfarlane, Brodie, Miller, Anderson, Nicholson, Wright, Bar clay, Nicol, Laurie, and Murray—all clergymen of the Church of Scotland. The work is creditable to their patriotism, zeal, learning, and industry. EXCURSIONS IN SWITZERLAND. BY J. FENIMORE COOPER, E3Q. In 2 Vols. Bentley, London, 1836. Excursions in Switzerland, by the distinguished author of the " Pilot," the " Spy," the " Last of the Mohicans," &c., cannot fail to excite brilliant expectations in the minds of every reader who may have an opportunity of getting hold of these charm ing volumes. Such expectations may be indulged without the apprehension of a disappointment. Those who cannot make a journey to Switzerland may here enjoy a fine imaginative view of its sublime mountains, its grand passes, its beautiful lakes, its enchanting cot tages, its charming scenery, and its honest and indepen dent inhabitants. We are told in the preface, that these volumes are but a small portion or fragment of a great work of travels, which the author originally intended to publish, but that for reasons which he considers it un necessary to state, lie has thought proper to suppress the remainder. The reasons thus alluded to are cer- tain changes that have taken place in the author's po litical opinions—he having previously laboured under a particular bias, which greater experience has led him to conclude erroneous. We certainly can have nothing to do with this matter; but judging from the volumes be fore us, Mr. Cooper is still but an indifferent politi cian. With a strange perversity of taste he overlays, and nearly smothers his own rich, varied, glowing, and beautiful descriptions, by attempting to reason upon certain facts and given data, pf which he obviously has no comprehensive knowlcd,e. We will not at tempt an analysis of this work—it must be read, and read all, to he appreciated as it deserves. SOUTH WARWICK ELECTIO The following letter is so characteristic of Toryism, and withal so contrary to the liberty which voters ought to enjoy, that we cannot resist publishing it. Mr. Shirley's agent, from whom it was yesterday received, may vindicate his conduct ; but will the farmers of Warwickshire vote for the man who would have them driven to the poll, and made merely the slaves of their landlords? We hope the Refor mers will profit by the hint, that " every vote is of conse- quence." " Southim, June 22, 1836. Sir,—l am requested to inform you that your tenants, M. 1. and R. P., are inclined to vote for Sir Grey Skipwith, the Radical candidate, and to express a hope that you will use our influence with them to vote for Mr. Shirley, as the con est will be very severe, and every vote is of consequence. I have the honor to be, Sir, Your very obedient Servant, WILLIAM TAYLOR. ( Signed) PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. BALLOT. From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.) TILWRSDAY: JUNE 23.
