WooosTocK, MONDAY.—The nomination of candidates for the representation of this borough, rendered vacant by the appointment of Mr. Thesiger to the office of Solicitor-General, took place to-day. The only candidates in the field were the Marquis of Blandfoid and Mr. Humfrey, the barrister. As the Noble Marquis and his opponent each - professed Con servative principles, the opposition sprung from merely local, or rather personal considerations. As something like a scene was expected, the. Town-hall was crowded at an early hour. Among the friends who accompanied the Marquis . of Bland ford to the hustings, was Sir James South, the Astronomer Royal. Mr. Humfrey was accompin ed by Mr. Waleshy, the Rerorder of Woodstock, and several her gentlemen. Mr. Harrison, in the absence of 'e Mayor, arisieg from indisposition, acted as Deputy. . , The usual preliminaries having be:itn gone through, . Mr. Alderman Aloaßis proposed tike Illarquis of Blandford as a fit and proper person to •represent the borough in Par liament.—(Great uproar.) Mr. T. ItomxSON seconded the nomination of the Marquis of Blandford. The last time he had the honour of addressing them in that room it was for the purpose of proposing the Solicitor-General as a fit person to represent them in Parlia ment, and he thought they were all 'agreed upon one point, however else they might differ, that they had no reason to regret having selected the Solicitor-General to represent them.-4 Cheers.) He was confident that the Marquis of Blandford, whom he now recommended to them, would be likewise found not to disappoint them in any reasoneble ex pectation they might form. He thought that if any person doubted the competency of the Noble Lord, if he read the handbill issued by-the Noble Lord containing a declaration of the just principles he entertained, all doubt as to his eligi bility would be removed.—(Cries of " He is only. a school boy.") With regard to the allegation of his being only a school-boy, such an objection waslitile, because the Legis lature itself haii-vrisely defined w s'lft: the age of a representa tive should be. Ile (sir. Robinson) was now going to touch on ground which he felt required extraordinary, circumspec tion as to how he'did it. When hehadpmposed the Solicitor- General to them; he made observations onthe behaviour of a gentleman whose conduct he did not approVe of. He was told that it was well for him that that gentleman wore a black coat, which meant, he supposed, that a bullet would be put through him, because he had told one who was their shep herd that 'it did not become him to foment sores in their borough, and stir up disquiet on every opportunity.—(Up roar.) He now repeated that.—(Renewed uproar.) Ile would say now in his presence that it was improper, unwise, and unchristianlike, and'unbecoming in a minister of the gospel to lend himself when occasion offered to sow discord in the borough.—(Uproar.) He now quitted that subject to refer to another. Many of the, electors had refused to sup port the Noble Marquis, in Mconsequence of differences with the noble owner of Blenheim. Perhaps he had himself cause to complain ; but did they think he would allow any coldness with the 'Noble Duke to induce him to refuse the Noble Marquis that support to which he was entitled. He trusted he was incapable of acting on so despicable a feeling, and, therefore, he came forward to give his support to the Marquis of Blandford.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. BowLEs then came forward, and was re ceived with great uproar. The Marquis of Bnexiseoito requested his friends would give the Rev. Gentleman a fair hearing. The Rev. Mr. BoWLES thanked Lord Blandford for the ap peal he had made to them in his behalf. He would not follow the example of the gentleman opposite, who thought he would strengthen the cause of the Marquis of Blandford by a personal and ' most uncalled-for attack upon him.— (Cheers and uproar.) He stood there to-day, notwith standing the foul and abominable attempts made to prevent his appearance on the hustings.—(Cheers.) Ile_ stood before them all, strong in the purity of his motives. He defied any man to come forward and state anything openly against his character.—(Cheers.) All he would say, in answer to these attacks was, that it might please the Almighty to forgive his persecutors and slanderers and turn their hearts.—(Hear.) Under ordinary-circumstances he should not have appeared at the hustings, for he was of opinion that the mere political parson Weakened his influence with the public, and was cer tain' to lose that self-respect which was the reflex of public opinion.—(Cheers.) But no ordinary circumstances brought him here to-day. Hewes the especially appointed guardian of the poor of that parish, and as such, was bound to use his best . exertions to rescue the parish from a state of tyranny which he believed in his conscience was unparalleled in any other parish in the kingdom. He would tell the Duke of Marlborough that rank and wealth had their duties as well as their privileges, and that the neglect of one forfeited the other.—(Cheers.) After having heard all that could be said in favour of the Noble Candidate opposite, h e was of opinion that he was not a fit person to represent the borough, and therefore lie came forward to propose L. Charles Humphrey, barrister-at-law, of Great Queen-street, St. James's parish, as a person eminently qualified to represent them. Mr. H. Nouns seconded the nomination of Mr. Humfrey. He did so in order to release the town from the tyranny under which it suffered. The Noble Marquis opposite, no doubt, was not answerable for the conduct of his father, but he (Mr. North) hoped that the lesson the Noble Marquis should receive to-day would induce him, when he came to the dukedom, to refrain from oppressing his tenants and the inhabitants f the town. He (Mr. North) was Old enough to remember the good Duke of Marlborough. Where are now the respectable tenantry who, under that Duke, once lived and prospered on the Marlborough property? Are they now prospering? No. He could appeal to several of them who had been cruelly used by the Duke of Marlborough. He asked them what the Duke did for that parish ?—(Cries of "Nothing at all.") Yes, he did something—he offered them a candidate. He (Mr. North), asked the poor who heard him, what charity they received from the Duke of Marl borough ?—(Cries of "None, none.") He did not even give them the !hipping —be ssld it to them at fivepence a pound. He would ask the Duke's agent; who was present, how many notices to quit lie had served on poor cottagers ? Not content with having placed the high pressure on the yeomanry, he now came down to' the smaller men in the poor cottages. They did not come there to offer a factious opposition to tee Marquis of Blandford. If the Noble Marquis promised to see be the first to poll in his favour. 'lit e n th o o t s d e e gr v iT if ne h es e threadireessteidia,ttlpiremenxiissetence of which he could object(A fr. North in sup ) p ortwouldin supporting Mr. Humfrey was to effect a public good, end to make the Dnke of Marlborough a better man, and a more considerate landlord.—(Cheers.) Mr. IVALEsnY, the Recorder; came forward, and was re ceived With cries of " No elector." The Marquis of Blandford likewise presented himself, but was prevented from proceeding by l ou d calls for the Recorde r. The Deputy Mayor havi ng decided in favour of the Noble Lord's right to speak, The Marquis of BLANDFORD thanked his proposer and seconder for the flattering manner in which they had intro duced him, and he expressed his gratitude to his friends for the generous support he had received from them during his canvass. It would of course be expected that he would say a few words, and it was his intention to be as concise as pos sible, in explanation of . the principles —he would not use the word professions—but he would say the principles, upon which he aspired to represent them in the great council of the nation. He was a supporter, in all its simplicity, purity, and integrity, of the Church as by law established. He would maintain the laws and institutions of Church and State. He was a firm supporter of her Majesty's present Govern ment, and at the same time he was a firm and uncompro mising defender of the cultivators of the soil. It had been stated that he was an admirer of the crew-fan led doctrines of free trade. He abju r ed th em a ll.—(Cheers.) Free trade, in his opinion, would be the ruin of this country., There was but one other subject on which he conceived it necessary to express his opinion. He was a supporter of the measure introduced by his truly noble relative, their former represen tative, Lord Ashley. He alluded' to the clause proposed by his noble relative, restricting to ten hours the hours of labour in the cotton mills in Lancashire and elsewhere. He hesi tated not one moment in extending his sympathy to the crushed and worn-down victims of the cotton lords. He would not detain the electors by referring to any other topics of the day. Although he regretted to hear gentlemen oppo site say such things as they did of his respected father, he would at present merely say, that he was not the arbiter of his father's actions, bilt that if the electors of Woodstock selected him as their representative, he would devote himself to their interests, and use his best exertions to promote the prosperity of their town.—(Cheers.) . Mr. HuswitEv then addressed the electors. He thanked them for the manner in which they had received his name. One of the objections raised against his name was, that he was unknown. Now, he came there to tell them a few things not only about himself, but about the house of Blen heim. The Noble Marquis, who had done himself great honour by his address to-day, had told them that he was not the arbiter of his father's, conduct. True; but the Noble Marquis came there is the representative of his father and the possessions of Blenheim, and he should, therefore, take them with all their burdens. He (Mr. Humfrey) should not have been there to-day had he net, found the borough of Woodstock so neglected -; the tenantry so oppressed ; the poor so utterly forgotten ; and the sick and destitute so neglected, that it was necessary means should be adopted to remedy, if possible, the present state of things. The Duke of Marlborough enjoyed all the wealth, without doing the slightest good to the borough, of Which he claimed the pa tronage.—(A voice, "lie employs 500 men.") Yes, indeed, he paid parties to come here to-day. He gave them a bak fast that morning. They ought to rejoice at it. It wa re s the first breakfast they had received at Blenheim for many a long year, and he admitted that the house of Blenheim, from its associations and wealth, and whatever might be its natural influence, ought to have no more difficulty in returnirg a Member for Woodstock, than in the appointment of its own steward. .But, as their rector had said, property had its duties as well as its privileges; and he would state tp them m gl a e n tra th d e e n sm :.n ntemh such matters as wou ld show that the Lord of Blenheim was Was ne.) not qualified to send a re p resentative to Parliament.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) MONDAY EVENINO.—Tho polling terminated this afternoon as follows : • . Follett Briggs Majority This is a larger minority than was at any time anticipated. The most sanguine expectations of the League party never went beyond 50. The: e are above 900 electors who have not voted at all, and many Of the Reform party have voted. for Follett. The ' polling commenced by placing General Briggs in the advance, which rather alarmed the Tories. At the end of the first hour, however, the Torics were about t to 3 ;' by ten o'clock they were . 2 to 1 in the advance ; in another hour 3 to 1, and continued steadily increasing. Immediately after the conclusion of the poll a meeting was held at the Subseription-rooms. Nearly 2,000 persons at tended. The meeting was addressed by General Briggs and 11r. Moore. They seemed to consider the result of the elec tion rather as a triumph than a defeat, and their reception from the meeting was more enthusiastic than 6n former Kea ions. Mr. Moore alluded to the case of a journeyman coach builder who had been discharged for voting for free trade, and proMised that this man, who was looked on by the meet ing as a martyr, should not suffer. his announcement that he and Mr. Cobden would soon visit this city was received , with tremendous- applause. 1,293 529 ItOYAL COMMISSION of.

EASTLAKE, Secretary ID HI LHARMONIC 'SOCIETY. — The Sub - A_ scribers and Public are respectfully informed that the Directors have received a communication from Dr. FELIX 3IENDELSSOIIN BAIiTHOLDY, stating the Impossibility of his reaching London in sufficient time for the THIRD CONCERT, but that he will certainly conduct the P.F.MAINING FIVE. support. In submitting to new Proprietors the testimonials which I shall have the honour to lay before them, I venture to hope that the favourable opinions recorded by those, who have had the best oppor tunities of judging of my character and services, may be considered satisfactory proof that I am not wanting in the requisite qualifica tions for the fulfilment of the arduous and responsible duties of the office to which I aspire. Connected With India from my earliest years, the past history, the present state, and the future prospects of our Eastern empire have, through life, formed the paramount objects of my study and attention. These pursuits, combined with a knowledge of several Oriental lan guages, during a service of fifteen years, brought me into unreserved intercourse with the natives of Indill, and gave me peculiar facilities of becoming acquainted with the manners, usages, and general cha racter of all classes of that interesting people. Opposed to hasty innovations and frequent changes of system, Injurious in all countries, but more particularly in India, I yet do not hesitate to avow my conviction that our system of Indian Govern ment admits of improvement both at home and abroad, more espe cially in the substitution, to a greater extent, of the agency of the natives of India for that of Europeans in the Administration of their own country. The great object of the - Government of India ought to be the moral and physical kdvancement of those millions who have been placed by a gracious Providence under our protection. 'With this 'end in view, a more liberal policy, and a freer admission to offices of trust and emolument, by holding out the strongest encouragement to the pur suit of knowledge, and the acqUisition of high attainment, appear to me among the chief means of ameliorating the condition and elevat ing the character of our Indian fellow-subjects. • The course of events during the last few years, and especially the recent annexation of Sinde to our Empire, must necessarily lead to the enlargement of our political relations and responsibilities with the countries west of the Indus. From my residence in a political capacity at the courts of the Chiefs on the banks of that river, it formed a part of my duty to study carefully the structure of society among the various tribes inhabiting that vicinity, and the power and condition of the States on our north-western frontier. I have already, at a Special Court, held at the India House, on The 2Gth January, 1844, stated at length my dissent from the measures which led to the conquest of Shade. I may add that, except under circumstances where it cannot be avoided, I deprecate any inter ference with the independent native powers. Instead of seeking to crush those States with whom we have formed alliances, I consider it our interest, as well as our duty, to endeavour to preserve them, de voting our whole energies to the internal improvement of the terri tories we now possess, rather than to any further extension of our already overgrown dominions. In conclusion, I have only to assure you that, deeply impressed with the responsibility of the trust, and having no other pursuit, should I be successful, I will devote myself exclusively to the dis charge of the important duties committed to me, and to the promo tion of the welfare and happiness of the people of India, with whose prosperity and advancement the British character and interests are so intimately interwoven. I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, with great reaped your faithful and obedient servant, London, 22, Sloane-street, April 22, 1844 MUSIC OF AMERICA.

After the Town- clerk had read the Acts against briberyand corruption, the Mayor, in calling on some elector to propose a candidate, made a - few judicious remarks, desiring for every speaker a fair hearing, and the ascription a candid and impartial motive for anything which might be advanced; for, however opposite the views .different per sons might express on that OCrtsioll he would give credit to everyone for being actuated by' a sincere desire for the public good.

Mr. Philip ,Zillard, of Godmanchester, seconded Mr. Veasey's nomination of Mr. Baring, and no other candidate being proposed, the Mayor declared Mr. Baring duly elected. Mr. Baring then came forward and thanked the electors for the - honour they had lust conferred upon him ; and after a brief address, detailing his views on several political topics, and expressing a deter mination to follow the example of his distinguished prede cessor, Sir Frederick Pollock, in the course of his public life, by according to the local interests of his constituents, as well as to the affairs of the nation at large, his diligent atten tion and care, he proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor for his conduct in the chair, which proposition being seconded by Mr. Veasey, and carried by acclamation, his Worship, in a few Words, returned thantsi-and the proceedings terminated. .ONDON, -.:EDINBURGII, and DUBLIN ILI, LIFE COMPANY, 3, Charlotte-row, 3lansion-house, and 14, Chancery-lane, London.

Godson's smoke-consuming apparatus has been, by order of the Board of Admiralty, put up in the_ factory of Portsmouth dockyard, and is now working a large engine so effectually, according to the intent, that a tremendous tire is constantly kept up, without producing any smoke whatever. In the course of last week the engine blew 3ff the steam, which is evidence that more steam is gene rated than is required for the purpose of working the en gines. The engine was under experiment in Woolwich dockyard nine or ten months, and Mr. Lloyd, the Chief Engineer, made three reports to Commodore -Superin tendent Sir F. A. Collier, C. 8., K.C.H., stating that the apparatus acted efficiently, and expressing a belief in its durability. In the large manufactories which constitute, by their smoke, such horrible nuisances, the obligation to adopt means of abating such abomination's will shortly be advocated in the Corporations, inconjunction with the question of burying the dead in towns.

The opertt is totinth... •ring the dent in Venetian history; which of re reign of' the Doge Candiano II.; and whieh late(' in the, "Sketches from Vehetian History: 4 "Under Candlelit) 11., occurred one of those events Which vividly depict the manners of the age'to which they belong: and which, though affecting individuals rather than a natledi excite, nevertheless, very powerful interest, and almost con nect history with romance. According to an ancient usage, the marriages among the chief families at Venice were cele brated publicly. The same day and the same hour witnessed the union of numerous betrothed; and the Eve of the Feast of the Purification, on the return of which the Republic gave portions to twelve young maidens, was the season of this joyous anniversary. It was to Olivolo, the residence of the Patriarch, on the ex treme verge of the city, that the ornamented gondolas re paired on this happy morning. There, hailed by music and the gratulations of their assembled kindred, the lovers disem barked ; and the festive pomp, swelled by a long train of friends, richly clad, and bearing with them, in proud display, the jewels and nuptial presents of the brides, proceeded to the Cathedral. The pirates of Istria had long marked this peaceful show as affording a rich promise of booty ; for, at the time of which we are writing, the arsenal and its surrounding mansions were not yet in existence, Olivolo was untenanted, except by priests, and its neighbourhood was entirely without inhabitants. In these deserted spots, the corsairs laid there on ambush the night before the ceremony ; and while the unarmed and unsuspecting citizens were yet engaged in the marriage rites before the altar, a rude and ferocious trovAurst the gates of the Cathedral. Not con tent with selean'the Coitly betiaments* Which became their prize, they tore away also the weeping and heart-broken brides, and hurried them to their vessels. The Doge had honoured the festival with his presence, and, deeply touched by the rage and despair of the disappointed bride grooms, he summoned the citizens to arms. Hastily assem bling such galleys as were in the harbour, they profited by a favourable wind; and overtook the ravishers before they were extricated from the Laraine of Caorla. Candiano led the attack,and, such was its fury, that not a single Istriote escaped the death which he merited. The maidens were brought back in triumph ; and on the evening of the same day, the interrupted rites were solemnised with joy, no doubt much heightened by a remembrance of the peril which had so well nigh prevented their completion." Such is the incident on which Mr. Benedict has founded his opera, and it must be confessed that the materials have been worked out in a most artist-like manner; great things were expected of him, and he has realised the expectations which were entertained. The Brides of Venice is decidedly the best thing that Mr. Be nedict has yet done. The opera was conducted by the talented composer, who, on his appearance in the orchestra, was greeted with loud applause from a very crowded house—a compliment which he gracefully acknowledged. The overture, which is a very brilliant and, at the same time, a very artist-like composition, wits deservedly honoured with an encore. The first scene opens in a villa belonging to Count Orio Soranzo (Borrani), a Venitian noble, of broken fortune, who has become a pirate chief. In the foreground are tables, around which priests and nobles are seated, who sing a bacchanalian chorus. Soranzo enters, and we learn that he is a suitor for the hand of Francesca Morosini, the richest iheiress in Lombardy. ' He quits the sa loon, accompanied by his friends, for the gaming table, and. Naama (Mrs. Alfred Shaw) enters. Neama, is an Arab girl, who, having freed Soranzo from his captivity among the Turks, has followed him through the world disguised as his Page—the Killed, in fact, of this Venetian Lara. From an aria in this scene, which was beautifully given by Mrs. Alfred Shaw, we learn that Soranzo has deserted the Arab maiden, who yet was his, but who, so far from being actuated by jealousy of Francesca, determines if possible to shield her from him. Soranzo enters, and receives from Naama a letter informing him of the rejection of his suit by Francesca, who has affianced herself to the Count Alberto. Soranzo desires Naama once again to seek Francesca, and to in form her that he will obey her wishes, but that he will seek her once, more to bid her farewell. The next scene is laid in the Morosini Palace. Fran cesca (Miss Romer), weary of the long delay in the re turn of Alberto from an expedition which he had under taken against the Istrian pirates, gives utterance to her feelings, in a beautiful romanza, at the conclusion of which several ladies enter, each with a basket of flowers, to greet the bride elect on her nuptial morning. They sing the chorus " Good morrow, lady rare, which is one of the most beautiful things in the opera, and which was rapturously applauded and loudly encored. This beautiful chorus was one of those things which take an audience, as it were, by storm. It created an intense excitement, and from that moment the success of the opera was se ure. This was followed by the beautiful air, " Oh, tell me not of sadness," delightfully sung by Miss Romer, and the chorus, which was also much applauded. Naama enters, to crave a last audience for Soranzo, and is immediately followed by Alberto (Harrison), who has returned to claim his bride, a de feated, not a conquering, soldier. He is immediately followed by Soranzo, in whom he recognises the pirate chief, and Leontio (Mr. G. Horncastle), the lieutenant of the pirates ; and a quintette follows between Alberto, Francesca, Naama, Soranzo, and Leontio. This quintette is perhaps the most scien tific piece of composition in the whole opera—the vocal parts are written with great care, and the instru mentation is full and complete. This composition alone would stamp Mr. Benedict's fame as a composer, and it was given by all concerned in the most complete and perfect manner possible. Soranzo, Leontio, and Naama, quit the palace, leaving Francesca and Alberto alone; and the scene concludes with a ballad by Alberto, " If a tear should repose." This is one of those simple, pa thetic ballads, in the singing of which Harrison shines. It was completely within the compass of his voice, and of course he sang it exquisitely, and was rapturously encored. The next scene, which was the last of the first act, was gorgeous in the extreme. The scene repre sented the shores of the Adriatic, with a view of St. Georgio Maggiore and Porto Franco, Venice. Naama enters, and in a beautiful ro manza, "By the sad sea waves," gives utter• ance to her feelings of despondency at her miserable fate. This, which is certainly the most beautiful solo composition in the opera, was given by Mrs. Alfred Shaw with exquisite pathos and expression. Her fine rich deep tones told admirably in this beautifully pa thetic composition, which was listened to with breathless silence, and, at its conclusion, rapturously encored. The peasants enter to view the Procession of the Brides of Venice, and among the peasantry the pirates, with Su ranzo at their head, enter in disguise. A march is heard at a distance—the music gradually approaches, and the Procession of the Brides enters. .rhis Pro cession of the Brides is by far the most gorgeous spectacle that has ever been produced even at this theatre. The stage is crowded with banner-bearers, flower-girls, soldiers, and clergy. The Doge and his council all at tend in the richest costumes, and precede the twelve brides, who, attired in white with veils, and walking under a magnificent canopy, close the procession. The bridal chorus, " Strew, strew, joyously," which is intro duced into this scene, is a most brilliant composition, and is, in our opinion, the gem of the opera. It was raptu rously applauded, and, of course, encored. The pirates enter, beat off the Venetians, and, seizing the brides, bear them away to their ships. This concludes the first act. The second act opens in one of the Istrian islands—the court-yard of the Castle of Soranzo. Groups of pirates are discovered, who sing a characteristic chorus. A storm comes on. A vessel is seen labouring in the offing. She drives on shore, and the pirates rush out to plunder her. Naama enters from the castle and, going up to the turret door, opens it, and releases Francesca. In this scene there is a song, " The smile that plays on woman's cheek," which was very beautifully sung by Mrs. Alfred Shaw, and a duet, " Like the storm now died away," by Mrs. Alfred Shaw and Mis s Romer. The last is a very exquisite composition ; it was done full justice to by Mrs. Alfred Shaw and Miss Romer, and was deservedly encored. The pirates return, and Francesca re-enters the turret. The pirates lay the body of Alberto, which they beve l bro e ugh e in with them, on one of the gun-carriages, an t eal' th it of whom offers to conduct him to Francesca, in pursu wrecked on the coast. Alberto was sailing when he was d 'n the In this scene Mr. Harrison was encore song, d " a pretty simple me Criovuesn,tantod is s lu j n o d b e le r d t b h y e Nvta,raeraela,c. wbAelbr;eretogngisreasc i b t y arned " At noon upon the beach I sto t o , i ed to his voice. lody, which was admiraby acting su under the d • The N a ama, consents to join the band, and goes with Naama into the castle.

Naama conducts Alberto by the secret staircase to Francesca's dungeon, and joins Soranzo in the banquetting-rootn above. The pirates enter and insist on an equal division of the booty. Soranzo goes by the secret staircase into the dungeon. He is followed by the pirates, and Francesca and Alberto, guided by Naama, ascend the staircase into the banquetting-room. A cannonading is heard. The Venetian galleys approach. The banqetting room is filled with troops, and the pirates, caught in the dungeon, are• forced to surrender. Th e opera ends with a grand rondo finale by Fran cesca, which was given most effectively by Mis Romer, and the curtain fell amidst the loudest applause.

It appeared the prisoner and Edwards were engaged with other boys in loading grains at the brewery of Messrs.

Tennison Cuff, M.A., at Carlisle scopal Chapel, Kennington. The Rev. Gentlem an descanted at len g th, and with much earnestness, upon the demoralising tendency of late attendance in shops and dressmakers' work-rooms. He asked how was it possible that young men who were employed, upon an average, for fourteen hours daily in the winter, and for sixteen and seventeen in the summer season, could ac quire those qualifications which were essential to a proper discharge of the duties appertaining to the dignified office of a British merchant, an office to which the majority naturally aspired, and which a large number of them must necessarily fill.. And he further asked, if it could be reasonably expected that young persons, who, like thousands o f the class under consideration, were kept toiling at their business till one, two, and sometimes even three o'clock on the Sabbath morning, would, or even could, attend properly to the duties of that sacred day. Instead of attending a place of Divine worship, he asked, would they not be far more likely to throw themselves upon their beds to seek relief from that lasitude and exhaustion which they would not have experienced had they retired at a seasonable hour on the previous night. Mr. Cuff stated that the way to render young men less given to dissipation was not by chaining them to the counter till an hour every night when all places of proper resort being closed. those of vice and licentiousness only were open to receive them ; but by placing at their dis posal proper opportunity for moral and intellectual improve ment. ; in' confirmation of which opinion, lie referred to the recordd testimony of employers who have tried the experi ment. Mr. Cuff interspersed his remarks with several anec dotes, some of which were of an interesting and others of an appalling nature. He observed that such a state of things co not go on, that reform must take place, and that, as a clergyman, he felt it to be his imperative duty to aid its pro motion. In concluding, the Rev. Gentleman m - ade a very w fam arm appeal to his hearers, calling up on them, as beads of i lies, to make such arrangements as for none' of their house hold ever to enter a shop after six o'clock in the evening. THE MINERS.—Two or three of the Derbyshire coal Lords have, within the last few days, consented to ad vance their colliers' wages, and the men are returning to their work. In this county the rascally truck system has been practised at some collieries for a length of time, and to a most audacious extent, almost as open as any public shop. Some of these robbers of poor men have been the first in tike ranks to brawl against the "strike," and misrepresent the men's earnings. Prosecutions are likely to reach the doors of the truck gentlemen, and every honest person will be glad of it.—From a Correspondent.
