TO THE ELECTORS OF THE METROPOLITAN BOROUGH OF LAMBETH. C.ENTLEMEII, ON a DISSOLUTION of PARLIAMENT it is my intention to seek a renewal of the trust you have reposed in me from the birth of your elective franchise. I have constantly endeavoured to act upon the principles which, fifteen years ago, recommended me to -your adoption, and hope that the fidelity with which I have served you, may be rewarded by your prolonged confidence. An impression prevails that at present there are no subjects of Prominent interest calculated to excite any anxious public feeling. /i at, in my judgment, there are some to which your earnest attention may be well directed, and you are entitled to know my sTntirnents upon them, when I ask you to retain me in your service. .I trust that the enfranchisement of commerce is in rapid progress, and that a reform to be effected by the next Parliament in the financial arrangements of this country will administer relief to the Industrious and trading classes. My desire to extend the elective franchise to all householders—to obtain means for its free exercise—and to quicken the sense of re sponsibility in the House of Commons, by shortening the duration of Parliaments—is undiminished. If these matters have not lately been pressed on the consideration of Parliament by those within its walls —the fault (if fault it be), allow me to say, rests with you and the people at large,who, having ceased to urge, would seem to have abandoned them ; but matured experience has sanctioned my own conviction, that our political liberty requires these further securities. , I earnestly hope th a t a tho r o ug h rev isal of th e Criminal Law, in cluding a substitution for the Punishment of Death, will be speedily a ccomplished ; and that, with a view to prevent crime, to advance true religion and virtue, and generally to ennoble the race to which We belong, the benefits of education may be freely extended to all classes. without reference to religious creeds. It is, in my opinion, the duty of the State, by a general and com prehensive measure, to provide the means of useful instruction and Moral cultivation for the poor, independently of fortuitous and cha ritable aid ; but the State has no right, by an undue and partial d istributlon of funds to which all contribute, or by other arrange- Ments. to render the inculcation of theological opinions a condition O f the gift. This i s t o crea t e a new an d crue l c i v il disability. The e tildren of those who conscientiously refuse such terms are left in darkness, while others, by compliance, obtain that intellectual su periority which is an unspeakable advantage for the general purposes of life. le scheme lately proposed by the Government is, indeed,t lateentablyThe who deficient the of eduting the neglected c hild ren i n our towns and rural districts. generall The grants are destined only to parties capable of furnishing the greater Part of the means, namely, to the wealthy sects and associations ; but nothing is provided for the destitute and friendless poor unconnected with these favoured parties, or located in thinly populated regions where spontaneous efforts can scarcely be expected or effectual. It a, admitted that nine-tenths of such grants will fall to the share of the Church schools where the conditions of catechism and church attendance are imperative. The late measure is, therefore, open to ne objections justly made to church-rates, and to endowments by Public money of religious communities, while it invests the Church an undue control over the temporal welfare of the people, and e an with a widely-diffused and influential patronage. The amount at present destined for this perverse application is small. To be effective, it must be increased—and largely. It is the seed of a tre e which may in time overshadow us. These considerations, and the eager support which the plan has received from some who nstiallY discountenance the cause of religious liberty, have ... aken ed a jealousy in the public mind which cannot fall to weaken the moral authority of the Church of England. Sincerely relied to that Church, I see this consequence with deep concern. —.— "llle tion is, that a measure which practically tends to invest „7-....4l*igeidlous advantages over other religions denominations " e nisnger: rather than secure, her connexion with the State. E_ M oreover, I consid er it au i rregu l ar it y t o b e d e p reca ted, that the xecutive Government should carry this project into effect, and I ,', n _annge all subs equent details, without the leg i s l a ti ve age ncy of ' ar liament ; but I am less inclined to ascribe the errors of the *scheme itself to an Administration which I have every disposition to support than to the Peculiar condition ofParliamentary parties at this Period. It is for electoral bOdies like your own, by the constitutional Mies" now at hand, to provide her Majesty's Ministers with „ in the House of Commons, to stimulate and encourage ro ut m in correcting these errors, in adapting these laws to the public condition of the Peeple,- - in more justly distributing the while burdens,—and in Steadily improving our political Institutions, on n h they constantly maintain inviolate, the time-tried principles which those i nstitutions are based. But, the greatest vigilance ri4 be needful to guard against any compromise of these principles, ititTl2tflnistration should be left in their present false position. latelyllele leadsn Inc to remark that the tendency of Parliament has yond it ,to clothe the Executive Government with powers be ministrys constitutional attributions, and to entrust it *with the ad tion of local and subordinate details which the jealous ws dom of our ancestors retained in their own bands. If this centralizing disposition be allowed to proceed , it will reu uer us sensible of the immediate arm of Government in our homes, and on our hearths. Our common law and the genius of our na tional customs require, that matters of a local nature should, in General, be adjusted by municipal or parochial functionaries ame nable to the law. By committing them to the Executive Govern ment—which is above the law—and by thus increasing its power, u sage,r itr n and means of corruption, we shall incur the evils of an • bsol monarchy, without the check of individual responsibility. thn t n n such views and apprehensions, I have recently voted against " nisterial scheme of Education, and the Bill for a new Ad . r kr atlon—by the Executive Government—of the Modern Poor with regard to which I and my original objections fully, and • "`„,, 4ll TesPects confirmed. dour'nese. and various other topics, I am anxious to discuss with you, thing 'would induce me again to accept a trust so sacred at f Elands, unless there remained between us that perfect under . finding which has hitherto rendered our long connexion not only Yoursel tirn v e t o my own feelings, but, I venture to hope, satisfactory to I have the honour e to nu b, em e en, Your faithial servant, - sON yNcOURT.

The long•pending contest between Robert Tarrant (better known as Doubledee), of Lambeth, and Thomas Cook; of Hungerford, came off yesterday, and was throughout a very capital race. The distance was from Putney to Chiswick Eyot, and the stakes 50/. ; Cook being the favourite at 5 to 4. Doubledee had the choice of 'station, and went to the Middlesex side. The start was very good, both men going away at great speed, Doubledee with a slight lead. In the course of a minute the men were scull and scull, and off the Messrs. Searle's Cook's boat's nose was about a foot in advance of his opponent, both men rowing ex tremely:hard. Doubledee then gradually drew away with the lead, off Rosebank, had drawn his length clear; was two lengths in advance at the Crab Tree; and at the beginning of the Eyot, about five or six. Cook rowed a very capital stern wager, and as they neared the distance post, gained upon his adversary slightly. Doubledee won by upwards of three lengths. THE GUY'S OARS' MATCH. The gentlemen of the Guy's Boat Club contended yesterday evening for a pair of silver cups, from Chiswick Eyot down to Putney-bridge. Cooper and Squires Hewit and Brenchley (Blu-) 2 Smith and Mauthorpe (Yellow) 0 Lloyd and Cox 0 Immediately after the start the last-named pair caught some wash from a steamer, and their boat was swamped, the gentlemen escaping with a ducking. Pink took the lead, and kept it throughout, winning by four lengths. TOWER REGATTA. The watermen at the Tower stairs contended yester day, in four heats, for a new boat and other prizes, in the presence of a vast number of spectators. The race was in four heats, with six scullers. First Heat. George James (Light blue) 1 John Fennes (Green) 2 William Bromley (Purple) 0 Light blue and green were scull an d scull for a con siderable distance ; the winner then gradually drew away, and won by four lengths. Second Heat. Francis Barry....: (Red) I James Gates (Yellow) 2 Benjamin Evans (Pink) 0 Red and pink were scull and scull nearly all the distance. Yellow was fouled by a boat with company in, almost directly atter the start. The heat was won by two lengths only. Third Heat. Benjamin Fans William Bromley A beautiful heat throughout. Won by tw•o lengths. Grand Heat. Francis Barry (Red) I George James (Light blue) 2 All off together, red took the lead, and kept it, closely followed by pink, light blue then passed pink. Wort by six lengths. The distance rowed was from the Tower, twice round the Eel-chain and round the buoy off St. Katherine's, and up to the Tower—twice round each heat. At the meeting of the Spanish bondholders yester day, it turned out that the smart scheme which was to be submitted for their further delusion had mainly hid it, origin with the very party upon whom more than any one else the responsibility had been placed of resisting any renewal of the fraudulent evas ons which have hitherto been so successfully practised. The gratuitous surrender of 12 per cent. of their property was in ni great measure the happy device of Mr. Henderson, and Senor Salamanca, it appears, had merely intimate o d_t e hn t s , if the bondholders should consider that step int l desirable one, he had no doubt he could succeed his effect ing the arrangement for them, and in inducing The meet ing,bn y der letters col leagues to avail themselves of the proceeds. o M rt r it . ilenderson that the plan ed not to be able however, although a ss ss ,o u n r ld ed re 60 which is now only worth 3t, pear faith of the Spanish nation to comprehend how the more binding upon what slice had been given would remain after proposedthettw original obligation, and. h to fr c o k m w up, than in the case of further offering to the raps feared that a . perhaps would be likely to prove cious had been swallowed, the gift the appetite so soon as • dishonesty of their debtor would only stimulate. f o r more. Mr. Henderson had also failed t o exp l a i n the process by which the sale in tha public markets of the 8,000,0001. of stock to be surrendered for the use of the Spanish Government would operate to raise the price from 23 to GO, and u n d er t h ese circumstances the proposition was decidedly waived, the meeting intimating that they would prefer for the future to wait a direct communication from the Spanish Minister. Meanwhile it was proposed that the bondholders should be careful to avoid any strong remarks that might irritate the sen sative honour of the Spanish people and Government, that amity and conciliation should be the order of the day, and that a distinct pledge should in all possible cases be exacted from candidates at the approaching election that they would, upon the requirements of the bondholders, make the subject a national one, to the ex tent, it is presumed, of sending an army to Spain, and plunging Europe into war. With regard to the fl of t po ol . these recommendations—the adoption of a syst em n that it would be advisable, and that the Sp any kind. lite cajolery—the meeting seemed decidedly o a f tii o s pinion Go vernment, unused as they are to intrigueof the secorn f, how ever,would be completely deceived by to follow in strictly made a war question, not appearingheresent set aside.— Times. logical connexion, was for I t Ds p Yesterday morning 4 to the effect that the claims should EXTRAORDINARY Sutc d, s;hould forthwith be b aged 52 years, of No. 25, e-road, committed self.

One half the world are desolately single , and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Di ffidence, or a sense of right deternmie the former, and miscalculated hopes em loftier the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage tlement. Honour and justice demand tkat health should form an item in the compact ; it alone: dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Grimstone, of the Ilerbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11 s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact..-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and )revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the west aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing ;dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops n the erowu of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' eads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and, that Mr. Iloward's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—BOTANIC WATER AND BEAR'S GREASE.—When the hair is becoming thin and falling off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alternately—the Botanic Water to cleanse the roots from scurf, and as a sti mulant, and the Bear's Grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of Bear's Grease for reno vating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North American Indians would be a sufficient answer. — Ross and Son's, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first introduced the use of Bear's Grease in this country, and who fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are they are obtaining a spurious ar ticle.

NEWFOUNDLAND PRODUCE.—The vessel Dart, ar rived in the river from Newfoundland, has brought, in addition to a cargo of oil and other merchandise, the large number of 18,194 seal skins ; and another vessel, the Cynthia, arrived from the same place, besides a cargo of oil, 17,000 of the same kind of skins. These extemive importations of the skin of the seal from the British North American province mentioned amply illus trate the abundance of the creature in that district.

SPIRIT GROCERS, IRELAND. Mr. Grogan, the Member for Dublin, on Friday prrsenred a petition , from spirit grocers in Dublin, on behalf of themselves and fellow-tradesmen in Ireland, of which the following is the substance:— " That by an Act of Parliament, passed in 1825, the 6th George IV., c. 81, and aeother enactment passed in the year 1836. the Gth and 7th William IV., c. 38, S. 3, the spirit groc ers o f I re l an d were made etitled to re ceive from .the officers of Excise licenses for the sale by retail of spirits, at rates fixed by these statutes. - "That the officers of her Majesty's Excise did for several years illegally and wrongfully - exact from the spirit grocers of Ireland upwards of 400 per cent. mot e for their retail spirit licenses than the law allowed them to charge, as decided by the Irish judges in the case of a spirit grocer, Stephen Fox Dickson v. a Collectcr of Excise, George Pape, Esq.' That the officers of Excise did, pursuant to the judgment of the Irish judges in a court of error, repay back to the one spirit grocer, Stephen Fox Dickson, through whom the question was decidal, such excess of the license duty charged as vt as decided to have been illegally and wrongfully taken from said Stephen Fox Dickson, a spirit grocer, in the one case brought before the court upon which case the judgment was given. That when applied to for repay ment of the excess taken from the other spirit grocers, petitioners have to regret that the Lords of her Majesty's Treasury have refnsed to repay back the moneys, though so adjudged to have been wrongfully and illegally taken from them. " That your Honourable House made an error, on the 9th July, 1845, requiring the officers of her Msjesty's Excise to return to your Honourable House a return of the rate of Excise duty payable by spirit grocers, on the retail spirit license, provided for them by the 3d section of thefith and 7th William IV., cap. 38, as decided by the Irish judges in the case of Dickson v. Pape,' col lector of Excise, Dublin district, on' a writ of error in the Exchequer Chamber, Ireland.' " That your petitioners have to regret to state that the officers of her Majesty's Excise did not obey the ..order of youT Houourkble House, but did untruly return as an answer to said order of your Honourable House, that the_amount of the rate is in dispute, and is the subject of a writ of error now pending in the House of Lords, in the case of M'Kenna v. Pape,' that this being as it is, and has been unfounded in truth or fact, your Honourable House has been imposed upon, and the amount of the moneys wrongfully and illegally exacte;l and levied by the Excise off the spirit grocers of Ire land, kept concealed from your Honourable House, and thereby the interests of the Irish traders grievously damaged. _ _ " That your Honourable House has been pleased on the 31st day of March, 1847, to order a return (in addition to the Sessional Paper, No. 662, for 1845), showing in an additional column, and opposite each spirit grocer's name, the rate or amount of Excise license duty which the judges decided in the case of Dickson v. Pape,' to be that which ought to have been charged and paid by each spirit grocer for his license respectively.' " That petitioners have read this latter return as made by the officers of Excise to your Honourable House, which is numbered as Sessional Paper 476, for 1847, and have to regret that this return also is not made in conformity with the orders of your Honourable House, nor with the facts of the case. " That Petitioners have to regret that this is the second time a false and untrue return has been made to your Honourable House, one on sessional paper 662, for 1845, the other on sessional paper 476, for 1847, both returns calculated to impose upon your Honourable House, to damage the interests of petitioners and fellow traders in Ireland, and by concealing from your Honour able House the amount of the large sums of money, amounting in the gross to many thousand pounds, which the officers of the Excise have illegally and wrongfully exacted from petitioners and fellow-traders of Ireland, which untrue returns petitioners will prove at the bar of your Honourable House if permitted. " Petitioners pray that your Honourable House will be pleased to cause inquiry to be made into the false hood returned to your Honourable House by the officers of her Majesty's excise, in sessional paper 662, for 1845, by untruly stating and returning to your Honourable House, as they did, that the amount of such rate is in dispute, and is the subject of a writ of error now pend ing in the House of Lords in the case or McKenna v. and into a further untrue statement returned to your Honourable House, appended to the second page of sessional paper 476, for this present session 1847, stating that the Judges were not called upon to decide in the case of Dickson v. Pape, the amount of excise licence duty which ought to have been charged and paid by by each spirit grocer for his licence ; their decision simply was, that the plaintiff, Dickson, having tendered the amount payable for a publican's licence, was entitled under the then state of law, to a grocer's spirit licence for that sum.' That as these untrue statements, so re turned to your Honourable House, are calculated to mis lead your Honourable House, to conceal from your Honourable House the amount of the moneys wrong- Fully and illegally levied off and from petitioners and - -- - - - - - - - -- fellow-traders, spirit grocers of Ireland, for their licences, whereby petitioners and fellow-traders arc seriously damaged.

RAPACIOUS FLUNKEYISM AT BLENIIEDL—With the exception of the invited excursion to Blenheim on Saturday, and a certain failure in the concluding break fast on Wednesday, it may truly be said that the recent meeting at Oxford was alike honourable to the British Association, to England, and to science. The Blenheim affair was indeed a disgraceful drawback. Never did we witness such a scene of rapacity and meanness. From the entrance-gate to the leave- taking of the kitchen garden, there was not only the dirty, greedy looks of menials and the ready Arab hand for backshish but the impudent demand of a fixed price of admittance as at the door of a penny show, a theatre, or St. Paul's Cathe dral. The company was ranged by the cards sent out in the name of his Grace the Duke of Marlborough, into parties not exceeding six, and according had mostly joined in half dozens to perambulate the palace and grounds. Over the former they were hurried by house keepers, maids, and servingmen, all of them looking for the expected fee with countenances and gestures not to be mistaken. In other cases they haggled for half crowns instead of shillings, and contemptuously insulted any unfortunate who might fancy that a little sixpence added to the amount of which he had been already fleeced was enough. At the entrance to the pleasure garden (one must pay for pleasure !) the charge was ss. for six persons ; but it was reduced in some cases of re monstrance, and in others the visitors would not go in, or refused to submit to the imposition. All through it was to the same tune ; and to augment the discredit of the affair, the servants pretended that they acted by order of their ducal master, that he would share their fees, and that they had no wages but what they got in this most scandalous manner. Such libels by house maids, flunkies, and gardeners upon the successor of the glorious conqueror of Blenheim, an individual of princely rank, living on a domain presented by a nation's grati tude, ought surely to be punished ; and we trust the noble duke will cause a stringent inquiry to ba made into these injurious statements and practices ; the more to be lamented in this instance, as they were barefacedly committed on the persons and purses of French, Russian, Prussian, Swedish, Norwegian, Italian, Swiss, American visitors, and indeed of natives of every quarter of the civilised globe, who must carry away most derogatory impressions of o ur coun t ry , f rom h av i n g witnessed so shameful an exhibition in so memorable a place.—L l e 7 'a r y Gracile.

The 17th was se nt out to New South Wales from Chatham in the year 1830, and, after serv ing in various parts of Australia for upwards of five years, embarked for Bombay in 1836. It then formed part of the army under the late Lord Keane, destined for the and was p resent at the first ca pital of Affghanista n , storm and capture of Ghuenee on the 23d of July, 1839; and in 1846 it formed part of the army under General Sir C. Napier, and marched towards the north-west. On reaching 13hawulpore, the force was ordered to return, and the 17th, on the way down the Indus, was detained at Sukkur, and lost a great number of men from fever. The 17th is billeted in the town of Chatham. There are now parts of three regiments—the 9th, 17th, and 39th — billeted in the town, a circumstance that has not oc curred since the assemblage of troops previous to the battle of Waterloo.
