T O THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH- Gentleme n —H av i ng reason WAßK to apprehend that my /con tinued s il ence may give countenance to unworthy artifices, I a nticipate my origin a l i n t ent i on of addressing you, when Par liament s h ou ld assemble. Driven from a service I accepted with gratit u d e , an d cherished with devotion, I was willing to , defer t o t h e last the painful task of taking leave of men, who, , to the generos i ty of confiding constituents, have uniformly i added th e di s i nterestedness of friends. Believe me, I terminate . our politi ca l relations with a heavy heart, for I deeply feel the t mean hypocri sy an d unrelenting injustice which have imposed hii necessity. The spirit of party bitterness has been displayed 41)9n to o many occasions to have escaped the notice and regret impartial minds. I shall not descend to their repetition. No ' longer a political man, even the strong and abiding sense of in justice and, oppression shall extort from me no invective ; at the same time I utterly deny the much vaunted boast ever put forth by the interested admirers of a selfish and irrespomible system, a rem edv. "that in this h a pp y coun t ry th ere i s no wrong w i t h out de b ' Nether the p resent i s my u l t i mate l eave o f pu b l i c life, will /end upon others. Hitherto the sacrifice has been all on one s",de ; hereafter it shall be, as it ought to be, reciprocal. It is a. favourite article in the popular creed, and I subscribe to it, ithat the representatives of the people ought to be paid ; but it , will continue to be an article of faith only, unless the people themselves give to it a substantial reality. I verily believe if 1 the i n d ustr i ous classes, who, of all men are the most borne down by inordinate and unequal taxation, were to contribute their weekly mite to a fund--and it i s no t necessary to b oast . .. .. . we are seven millions" in order to raise it,—a capital migh be obtained abundantly sufficient to return to Parlia• 1 '.ent, and to recompense the undivided services of at least six powerful-minded, well-informed men, who by acting in con -1 cert, with discretion and courage, would so lay bare the mon- Arous workings of faction—the bane of our common country.—. nthat no party nor combination of parties could, for any time, resist the fi rm reso l ves o f a f ree people, in ' tent upon the great objects of wise and efficient go vernment. I blame not, while I deplore, the pernicious cau tion of the working classes in this particular ; at the same time, f reeling under the effect of severe sacrifices in successive con tests, I feel no man can fairly charge me with selfishness, if, on the downward slope of time, I listen to the friendly voice of prudence. Still the review of the 'past is n 4 without its conratulations. From my first return to Parliament in 1818, to the close of the last Session, I cannot recur to a single vote I desire to revoke, nor to a sentiment I wish to disclaim ; and it is with equal pride I can record the boast, that during that long period I have never obtained, nor once applied for, one place or situation— no, not the smallest—either for Constituent, Friend, •r Rela- Cos a ; and the only office I ever personally held, anti that for a llb ort vacation only, derived its chief value from the opportu nity it eventually offered to you, my friends, of testifying, in a manner the most exalted, your love of justice, and your hatred Of wrong and oppression. Though my humble efforts to serve you are at an end, I shall continue in the enjoyment of a situation for which I am pro'dis, to acknowledge myself your debtor. It required, and could receive, no higher testimonial than that of being your Representative, to earn the generous countenance of the Corpo re.tion of London, with whose noble institutions and commercial greatness you are largely identified. Apart from the penalty of disqualification, the important and responsible office which the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council, in Common ' Council assembled, conferred upon me in a spirit of kindness and una.nimity so kindred to your own, is in every way accept able to, me. I feel there is nothing in the design or duties of the (flee at variance with the purest devotion to freedom. It pos sess es all the attributes of independence. lam chosen by the peo- Pir.: ; lam paid by the people ; and I return to the people equi alent services for my salary. Equally popular in its character is Cite force over which lam placed. Our ranks are freely entered, # and with freedom relinquished. Inconsiderate youths, strolling at fairs, or loitering in streets, are not allured by the boisterous music of the drum, nor their senses drowned in intoxicating draughts. Each step is the step of choice and deliberation. Charr,cter and fitness are the primary qualifications. Every con . ..table must be able to read and write, and bring testimonials of I nis observance of the social duties of life. The City Force is, not a mercenary or a military force, raised to be trans ported to distant scenes upon political services, but it is a , force raised expressly, and at their own charge, to guard our citizens from danger, and their property from plunder— to be ready, at all times, to threw the staff of our Saxon ancestors around the helplessness of infancy and the decrepitude of age_-t o protect the stranger within our gates from strata gem, and innocence from insult—to facilitate the intercourse of ou r crowded streets, and to be in effect the vigilant safeguard 13f law and liberty. Nor is the City Force popular in its formation only, it is essentially so in its government. Sta. tion is neither obtained nor advanced by favour—the ranks of the men form the nursery of the officers. Such, my friends, are the legitimate objects, and the mode of directing an esta blishment, over which I have been elected by my fellow- citi zens to preside, and I feel assured that you will amply appre ciate the exulting assurance, that to obtain this office, I have been no apologist for the past, no apostate for the future. Of your approaching contest I feel it would be unbecoming iii inc. to say anything. Well do you know the value of the niffn trust committed to your charge, and the Friends of Free dom and Reform throughout the land may repose with confi deuce, up on th e cons i stency of your example. 5 Electors of Southwark - , farewell. In whatever s cenes or circumstances of fortune I may be placed, I shall ever cherish With pride the noble disinterestedness of your conduct towards 1 1 me, and resolve by my actions to sustain its direction. I am, Gentlemen, your faithful friend and servant, D. ! W. Raleigh H ouse, B r i xton Hill, Dec. 14, 1839. HARVEY. 'WATER PROOF AND WARNI WINTER CLOTHING. AT ALTER BERDOE, TAILOR, No. 69, CORNHILL, was the first who introduced the NEW VENTILATING WATERPROOF, which renders g a 'ancnts (when properly made up) completely impervious to rain, without offering any obstruction to the escape of perspire ' lion. Its complete success is now fully established, as is proved l by the most convincing testimonials, its extensive adoption, 1 and the numerous attempts subsequently made by others to ac complish the same end. j THE CODRINGTON DREADNOUGHTS are a New, and mach approved Waterproof Garment, gentlemanly, port able, and convenient, are now in general use, and the best proof of their efficiency is the greatly increasing demand for them, through the recommendation of those who have long tried them. W. Berdoe has new ready a large stock of all the most ap proved materials for Warm Winter Clothing, and is convinced i that the process of the British Water-proofing Company is the ' best.

So constant and so various are these unwarrantable proceed ings, that J. T. BETTS and Co. feel themselves imperatively called upon to impress on purchaser s the importance of perfectly satisfying themselves that the article they obtai n is in reality, the PATENT BRANDY. This caution, well observed, would, at once, dissipate the complaints so frequently made of the character of Home-made Brandy ; complaints which are never heard when BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY i s ac tually procured.

On Friday between three and four hundred of the principal Noblemen and Gentlemen agriculturists sat down to a substantial dinner at the Freemason's Tavern, the Earl Spencer in the Chair. There were also present the Duke of Richmond, Colonel Wood, M.P., and several other members of distinction. The cloth having been cleared, the Noble President proposed " The health of the Queen" which was re ceived with tremendous cheers. (Three times three, and one cheer more.) The next toast proposed was " The Queen Dowager and the rest of the Royal Family." This toast, as on the former occasion, was received with every demonstra tion of loyalty, enthusiasm, and respect. Upon the toast, " Success to the Smithfield Club" being proposed, . Tine NOBLE PRESIDENT said he had great happiness in stating to them that their Club had been greatly, although gradually, increasing. His Lordship said he would not have spoken so confidently of the Club had he not ascertained that the receipts of this year had been sufficient to clear the whole expenses of the following one. There was, therefore, no risk to run at their next meeting. The place of exhibition had been altered, and it was the general impression that the alteration would be of the greatest benefit to the breed ers and feeders of prize cattle. In consequence of a complaint having been made with respect to the judges not been sufficient, the Committee had agreed that two sets of judges should be appointed —one for the adjudi cation of prizes for cattle and long-woolled sheep, and the other for Southdowns and pigs ; and his Lordship hoped this arrangement would be satisfactory to all par ties. It had also been arranged that two prizes should be given for Scotch and Welsh cattle. His Lordship knew of no class of cattle which gave better profit to the grazier, but in consequence of their general size they could not be expected to compete with the various classes of cattle now exhibited. Upon the Worthy and Noble President's health being proposed, the cheers were general, and continued for a length of time. His Grace the Duke of RICHMOND said he should not say so much in the Noble Lord's presence as he would otherwise do. Nevertheless he would say that Earl Spencer's perseverance and extensive experience had been of great good to the community. He (the Duke of Richmond) had, like the Noble President, en. deavoured to improve the agricultural population of the country, and make acquaintance with the farmers of England.—(Cheers.) Earl SPENCER returned thanks. He had been so frequently placed by his kind friends in so favourable a light before the gentleman present, that he could only repeat what he had before assured them of. It had always given him the greatest gratification to meet the agriculturists of England. His Lordship contended at some length that in promoting the present "objects of the Smithfield Club the greatest benefits would arise to the community at large. Several other toasts having been drunk, Earl SPENCER proposed " The health of his Grace the Duke of Richmond," which was received with long continued cheers. His GRACE, in an eloquent speech, returned thanks. He observed that one of the greatest benefits any per son could exercise was the privilege of meeting the far mers of England.—(Cheers.) He sincerely had at heart the welfare of the farmers of England, and with the tenants of England he would stand or fall.—(Loud cheers.) " The health of the Vice-Presidents of the Society" was then given, as, also, " The Agricultural Society of Great Britain," , &c. &c., which were responded to in able speeches from his Grace the Duke of Richmond, Earl Spencer, and other individuals connected with agri cultural pursuits, &c.

ENGLISH AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.--The General Meeting of this Society was held at the So ciety's Rooms, Cavendish-square, on Saturday last. His Grace the Duke of Richmond presided, and among those present we observed the Marquis of Downshire, Earl Spencer, T. W. Bramston , 111. P„ E. A. Sand ford, 111!P., &c. &c. His Grace the Duke of Richmond read the report of their Committee of Management, which stated that the Society was in a most flourishing condition. Th e report was adopt e d , t h anks returned to the judges, and the meeting separated. SUICIDE THROUGH D RUNKENNESS.—In the course of an inquiry held on Friday before Mr. WakleY, on the body of a woman who had died from debility, occasioned by excessive drinking, the Coroner remarked that a verdict of felt de se might be returned against the deceased, inasmuch as the act of destroying herself by drinking excessively was self murder, just as much as if she had put a rope round her neck. On Friday a precinct meeting of the inhabitat Its of St. Bride's was held at the vestry-room, to nominate common councilmen, and other ward officers, for the year ensuing. Mr. BAKER proposed, and Mr. WEST seconded, the nomination of Mr. R. Obard. Mr. CooKE proposed, and Mr. Williams seconded, the nomination of Mr. Burn. Mr. DAVY proposed, and Mr. GRAHAM seconded, that of Mr. Eakins. No opposition having been offered to either non& nation, The CHAIRMAN declared that the nomination of three persons to be presented from that precinct to the wardmote, to be elected as common councilmen for the year ensuing, had fallen on the gentlemen proposed. The meeting then separated. MARYLEBONE VESTRY. After some observations from other members, Mr. THEOBALD having replied, the question was put, and the original resolution carried. The Vestry then adjourned. PROCEEDINGS IN THE ROYAL EXCHANGE COMMITTEE. The proceedings in the Royal Exchange Committee have given rise to a great variety of conjectures in the City, and it is believed that exertions will be found necessary to prevent what it is apprehended will turn out to be a pieco of jobbery. Mr. Hardwicke, Mr. Joseph Gwilt, and Mr. Tite, having declined to make any selectio❑ from the eight plans which it has been conjectured could with altera tions be made suitable for a new Royal Exchange, it was proposed at the last meeting of the Committee that Mr. Geo. Smith alone should select from the three de signs which were reported by Sir R. Smirke, Mr. Gwilt, and Mr. Hardwicke, to be of the second class, and not capable of being carried into effect without a great ex cess of expense, beyond 1.50,000/. In the report of these three architects, who were appointed as se lectors, it was also, it will be recoil, c'ed, men tioned, that there were circumstances of inconvenience and unsuitableness which rendered them inadvisable for adoption. Although " the works of very clever artists, stability arising from solid bearings for upper apart meets, and other essential matters, having been sacri ficed for grand architectural features." The proposi tion was carried in the Committee, and it is the opinion of many that the Committee have completely stultified themselves by thus rejecting the five designs which were reported as possessed of the greatest merit, and capable any one of them of being executed for 150,0001., and among which were included the three designs of the candidates to whom the premiums of 600/.-were awarded and ordered to be paid. The Committee are said to have laid aside, as un worthy of consideration, the designs pronounced by the three gentlemen who were appointed judges to be the best, viz., Mr. Grellier's, N 0.36 ; M. de Chateauneff's and Mr. Mear's, No. 43 ; and Mr. Sidney Smirke's, No. 37 ; and it is said that these candidates look upon the result of the deliberations of the Committee as any thing but fair play or justice to them. The designs of the second class are understood to be those of Mr. Donaldson, Mr. Mocatta, and Mr. Richardson, and were numbered respectively 50, 46, and 27. It is thought very extraordinary that the Committee should first seek the advice of Sir Robert Smirke, Mr. Gwilt, and Mr. Hardwicke, and then set up their own judg. ments in opposition ; and it is asked why, if they meant to do so, had they not acted upon their own judgments before they awarded the premiums for what were con sidered the beg: out of the eight now pronounced by the Committee to be the worst ? The public are iu fact no more satisfied with the ar rangements made by the Committee than Mr. Grellier, Messrs. M. de Chateauneff, and Mr. Meer, and Mr. Sidney Smirke, or Sir Robert Smirke, and the talented gentlemen associated with him. We understand that it was proposed, in Committee, to ballot for six or seven names, the first architects in the kingdom, to prepare designs from which might be selected one suitable in every respect to the object, and which could not he obtained by competition. This, however, was defeated by the other resolution, and Mr. George Smith has to choose one out of the three expen sive unsuitables, and, if he can, to cobble one up for a Royal Exchange. Indeed, it is reported that Mr. Smith will have the building of it himself. It is understood that on the first day of the Session of Parliament, new writs will be moved for the counties of Pembroke and Suffolk, in the room of Sir John Owen and Colonel Rushbrook. The painful grounds for this proceeding have already appeared in the public journals. ELGIN DISTRICT OF BURGHS.-- Another candidate has appeared in the field for the representa tion of these burghs. The Hon. Fox Maule ( t h e s i tting Member) having i n ti ma ted his intention of not again so liciting the suffrages of the , elector s . M r. Grant of Carnousie has been engaged, during the last two days, in canvassing the constituency, on the Liberal interest ; and, according to the report of his friends, with every prospect of success. His address to the electors, em bracing his political sentiments, will, we believe, appear —Elgi n C ouran t. in our next publication. MR. ROB Y'S SPEECH.

It had dared to do so, and, by the law of the land, had subjected itself to a criminal information.—(Loud cries of " Hear.") The next libel was, " that the wealthy and upper classes were lorded over in parochial matters by a set of democratic bullies, who are perpetually inflaming and deceiving the Alley-ocracy with all manner of libels against the better order of parishioners." They were then designated—" in short, a board of insolent up starts, who, having been smuggled into office chiefly through the apathy of the Conservative rate-payers, have rendered themselves infamous for the last seven years by their base political obliquities." He concluded by moving an amendment to the effect, " That a Com mittee be appointed to take measures to prosecute, by filing a criminal information against the Times news paper, for a libel upon the Vestry, contained in an ar ticle inserted in that journal of the 27th of November ; and that such Committee forthwith confer with the solicitors, and retain such eminent Counsel as may be deemed advisable for the case." The resolution having been seconded, Sir JAMES DUKE said, notwithstanding he repudiated the gross calumnies which had been directed against the Vestry, yet he thought they would be showing their good sense not to attach any importance to so foul a slander, further than that of a refutation as proposed by Mr. Kensett's resolution. The Rev. Dr. DIM= would enter his protest against the proposition last suggested. He believed if it were adopted such a course would involve the Board in endless expense, without coming to any satisfactory •onclusion.—(Hear.) He did not say this in defence of " the Times," for he concurred that the calumnies were of a gross description, but he looked at the power ful engine they would have to combat with, and that in the event of the Tunes pleading that this was merely an article of general declamation the possibility might be that the Vestry would not be enabled to sustain their action.

In the one there. was lavish waste in every department ; infinitely more attention; paid to a smart turn-out than to the sport which ensued . the morning's show was gay and brilliant, the perform ance afterwards wretched : in the other, everything is business-like, without parade or nonsense, giving pro mise, which has hitherto been kept, of hunting runs emulating those of the olden time. —Old Sporting Ma gozine for December. The Cambridge Chronicle says that the papers in giving an account of the Undergraduates conduct towards a Proctor have magnified a molehill into a mountain, and that the facts are simply these :—One of the Proctors, having appeared to some of the young men to exercise his authority with a rigour that was un usual, was openly insulted by them in the streets ou Sunday evening, and followed about the town in a most persevering manner, without any covert act of a serious nature being committed. On Monday evening, how ever, the feelings of the discontented amongst the Un dergraduates being still kept alive, a most determined attack was made upon the outer gate of Caius College (of which College the Proctor is Fellow and Tutor), with a view, as was professed, to attack the Proctor's rooms, but in reality, as is most probable, only to make a row, and let off the rampant spirit which was bottled up. The gate was brok en , b u t no f urt h er damage wars done ; and several of the assailants were, it was sqp posed, marked and handed over to the executive. Mi. number of Undergraduates engaged in this outbreak did not exceed two hundred, out of more than eighteen hundred ; and not a single individual received any per sonal injury. STATE OF TRADE.—There has been no change in the tone of the market since Tuesday last. The demand for India continues, to some extent, and con siderable purchases have been made of yarn and piece goods suitable for the markets of that country ; but all other descriptions continue flat, with very little busi ness doing, and that little at ruinously low prices. We are glad to learn that there was no foundation whatever for the report which prevailed upon our Exchange on Tuesday afternoon, of the failure of a large retail house at the West end of London. We intimated, at the time, our doubts as to the truth of the report, which appears to have been nothing more than one of those mischievous and too often malicious stories which are so frequently circulated in times like the present.—Man charter Guardian. DR. TAYLOR.—This gentleman still remains in Carlisle, and has frequent meetings with the work ing classes—occasionally taking an excursion to the vil lages in the neighbourhood to sip tea and talk politica. On Tuesday evening he lectured in our Theatre, to a crowded audience, on the present aspect of political affairs. He spoke for upwards of an hour, and was listened to with great attention, He declared his be lief that unless there was a speedy change in the Go vernment, and the people fully represented, a terrible convulsion must ensue. He urged the meeting to be prepared to defend the " patriot Frost ;" and to have the town so thoroughly canvassed, that th.:l. , could be ready at a moment's notice to call cut their whole strength—whether in money or otherwise—to defend Mr. Frost. Of course we came in for a tolerable share of abuse ; our Contemporary, on the contrary, has to congratulate himself on being extolled as one of the first of patriots, because he refused a bribe of 100/. which the Doctor says was offered to him by Lord Normanby, if he would give evidence against Dr. Taylor ! How Sir James Graham and the other Tory proprietors of the Patriot must rejoice in the eulogies of Dr. Taylor, and in seeing their organ the chosen ve hicle for the lucubrations of that gentleman :—Carlisle Journal.

It was added, that this was the first note put into circula tion by the murderer, or murderers, and great credit was awarded to the police for the secresy they had preserved on the subject. Now the fact is, that the note, respecting which the reward was offered, had no relation whatever to the murder and robbery of Mr. Westwood. The advertisement had reference to a Post-Office robbery. With respect to the murder of Mr. West wood, the public may rest assured that the police au thorities have never for a moment ceased from their zealous pursuit of the guilty perpetrators ; and we trust that we shall not be deemed chargeable with any premature disclosure in here expressing onr confi dent belief that the exertions of the police will have, full success.—Observer.

Del Freyschulz was brought out at this theatre on Saturday night, for the purpose of affording Miss Delcy • an opportunity of trying her powers in the character of Agatha, and she succeeded most completely. She .• was at first rather nervous, and her voice - Was, on one or two occasions, rather tremulous ; but, without inviting any invidious comparison, we may safely assert that we have seldom seen an Agatha both willing and able to do such justice to the music assigned to her part. Mr. Phillips played his original character of Caspar. Mr. Frazer sustained the part of Rudolph. Madame Pilati, who played Anna, is not fitted by nature for the i. difficult music of th a t c h aracter. She sang, it is true, i 1" with great co rrec t ness , b ut t h e di ff i cult scena in the third act is not within the compass of her voice. The chorus was not numerous. The incantation scene exhibited a most extraordinary absence of diablerie, and the lovers of the horrible only received a poor iastalment in the red shower which ushered in and terminated the ap- • pearance of Zamiel. The bill states that the music is a' " partly with new versions from the original text ;" and though on the whole we cannot congratulate Mr. Ham mond on " this improved version," we must offer him our i . felicitation s in having introduced Miss Delcy to the public. She received the honour of a call before the curtain, and appeared to pass through the abiurd and noisy ordeal of approbation, with much timidity and ner- . . sousness. The house was crowded. i f ~.:
