more conduce to its attainment in a military Point of view than ready communication ? Our insular position is peculiarly calculated for giving th e greatest possible effect to railroads. Troops Might, in cases of emergency, be transported from London to the extremity of the kingdom in the same time that a regiment now takes to go 15 or 20 miles, with this obvious advantage, that they would arrive without undergoing fa tigue, and be consequently fresh for immediate action. Besides, as a matter of economy, there would be no comparison. Railroads through out the country would give the Ministry, sitting in London, all the moral force of personal übi quity. Nor would the advantage be confined to the ruling powers ; the people at large, th o se in remote districts, would participate in the benefit, by the facility of appeal to head-quarters, whether in matters of business or oppression. This very fact would operate as a most salutary check on the undue exercise of Magisterial authority by many persons who at present play " such fantastic tricks" with perfect impunity. In fact, so great, in our opinion, is the capabi lity of a well-organized system of railroads, that if the Government took up the subject in a proper spirit of liberality, they might render it mainly conducive, not only to the present reduction of our heavy expenditure, but eventually to the extinction of the National Debt. What sceptics in this matter may say has been prophesied long ago by the unbelievers in the efficacy of steam in its application to machinery ; and now behold the boundless advantages resulting from this mi raculous agent ! Yet a little longer, and what further benefits may society not expect from the universal diffusion of a power which is at present only in its infancy ? We are glad to learn by a communication, which will be found in another part of The Sun, that the silly squabbles and bickerings which lately deformed the management of the London Uni versity are now all at an end ; that (in the words of Dr. ELLIOTSON) " the University is now prospering ; all labour assiduously,—all are ani mated with the liveliest desire to promote the institution. One good feeling pervades all ; and each is willing to postpone his own immediate advantage to the general good." A wolf in sheep's clothing is now endeavour ing to penetrate into the fold of improvement, and we deem it a duty forthwith to expose him. In other words, a writer, styling himself PHILO MALTHUS, under the pretence of publishing a pamphlet in favour of the abolition of the poor rates, has put forth a most blundering argument for the continuance of what he calls a just pro tection to the agricultural interest of this country. In the outset we will tell him that the corn laws do not protect the agriculturalist, as he ought to know ; and, next, that if they did, in the sense he would have them, it would be a most mons trous injustice to the rest of the community. With the opening part of his pamphlet we concur to a considerable extent, and we marvel how any man who so clearly sees that it is gene rally wrong to distribute money or food to the Poor, because, although you benefit the indivi duals relieved, others are injured in as great or greater proportion, does not also see that to Counteract the law of nature in any other way Must be likewise injurious. The first position jo which the author betrays his ignorance is in the following paragraph and the note appended to it :..._ " Th e poor's rate, at least the greater part of it*, is in the first instance advanced by the farmer, and is after -I:l!trds repaid to him with a profit in the increased price of ma produce. It, therefore, operates as a tax upon con 'otoption, and is eventually paid al; ke by all men, high and l ow, rich a n d p oo r, i n the increased price of the 'woes s"' of life, and by each of these in proportion to the quantity which he consumes." There is a good deal of confusion in the text and note here, which we will endeavour to clear up. A tax upon any article of consumption of which there is no limit to the supply, most undoubt edly falls upon the consumer. The consumer Pays the poor's-rate on the premises of the ma - nufacturer of cloth, or any other article, because the cloth will not be produced unless the manu facturer can cover all his expenses, of which the poor-rate is one, and get the usual rate of profit besides. The case is very different with land, or any other indestructible property. The landlords cannot increase or diminish the supply of land, and therefore upon it the poors'-rate must fall, and not upon the consumer of its produce, or at any rate not so immediately as in the case of a manufacture. If the poor-rate fall so heavily upon land as, upon cultivation, to leave nothing ove r the average rate of profit for rent, it will be thrown upon the landlord's hands ; and . if he should not be able to cultivate at th e average rate of profits, it will be thrown out of cultivation altogether ; and that operation continually going on will raise the price of corn, and so make the consumers suffer on accou n t of the poor's rate ; but as long as there is rent derived from land, the landlord pays the poor -rate Just as much as he does tithe. Our author, a few pages further on, admits as:much, but does not appear to see that it cuts down his previous Position. As he proceeds he gets more and more in volved in confusion and contradiction, till he com es. to th e ma i ntenance o f t h e b roa d propo spliT'pen tthh_at a protecting duty is necessary to footing/1 grower and importer upon an equal We will pass over the robbery which is intended by this against the manufacturers , and at once come to the question of—whether the iniquitous attempt of the Aristocracy has succeeded ? We ask our author whether " the protecting duty," framed by the landlords, has protect e d th em ? Wh ether, ever since it was imposed, matters have not been getting from bad to worse ? Whether the importations of foreign corn have not marvellously increased ? Whether th e poor's rate, instead of falling, as it ought, with the fall in prices, has not frightfully in creased'? 'Whether land ip not every day being thrown out of cultivation, and that, too, as well as the increase of the poor's rate, on account of • That part of the poor's rate which is levied upon the oc cupiers of houses of residence, is in fact paid by them, and really operates as a direct tax upon revenue. That part which is paid by merchants and manufacturers, and the proprietors of coal mines, is returned to them in the price of their goods. The Money, whep expended, goes towards indemnifying the farmer. the iniportation of the foreign corn they wished to exclude ?—lt has ; it has. That overruling Providence which has decreed that injustice, in any shape, should carry with it its own punish ment, has not reversed its immutable laws, and the miserable, ignorant, short-sighted selfishness which dictated the conduct of the landlords at the close of the war, is now, and has been for years, pouring its fruits upon their heads. How much longer will they piggishly swim against the stream ? How much longer do they think the nation will submit to be starved, in order to give them the satisfaction of fancying that they are picking their neighbours' pockets ? We can tell them how long it will be—just so long as the people are ignorant of the true ope ration of the different laws by which they are op pressed. Let them once generally see through the flimsy pretences on which the Corn Laws are supported, and they must fall, and " leave not a wreck behind." Let the landlords then be wise; let their real friends—let those whose interest is bound up in the prosperity of the whole community, theirs included, persuade them to yield in time, and their fears and prejudices may be consulted by a gradual abolition of the Corn Laws; but let them much longer resist, and t heir fate will be that of the opponents of Reform. EAST INDIA COMPANY'S INDIGO SALE. This morning the East India Company's quarterly sale of Indigos commenced at the India House. The attendance of merchants, manufacturers, and others in terested in the articles, was not by any means so nu merous as at many previous sales. The total quantity of Indigo announced for sale, including Company's and li censed goods, was 4,823 bales, the greater proportion of which was Bengal, and only a small portion of Madras sorts. Not a single chest was withdrawn preparatory to the commencement of the sale, which is rather a remark able circumstance. The quotations first up realized from 3s. 10d. to 4s. Bd. per lb., which are fair prices. The sale will not conclude for some days. THE OIL TRADE.—In consequence of the very favour able accounts which were received yesterday from the Fisheries, a considerable reduction has taken place already in Fish Oils. Greenland Oils, which sold last week at 301. 10s., do not find buyers to-day at 26/. Cod Oil has fallen to 34/., South Sea to 271., Pale Seal to all., Brown ditto to 261. per tun. The prices are expected to he still lower, but the export demand will then increase business. Whalebone (Greenland and full sized) has fallen from 1701. to 1401. per ton. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK By the French mail this morning we have the following. The King of Holland has sent to Prussia, Austria, and to other members of the German Confederation, a pressing note to claim the execution of their engagements to assist him, on his application, to defend his right to Luxembourg, and in case they comply with his request, 135,000 to 140,000 troops of the Confederation will march to his assistance, and drive the Belgians from the Duchy of Luxembourg, after which they will take a position on the frontiers of France. The French Papers state that they have reason to be lieve from the last despatches received, that their Minister at Madrid had represented to the King of Spain the great danger, on his death, of leaving the kingdom exposed to a contention for the legitimate succession to the throne. Accordingly the French Ambassador is trying to persuade Ferdinand to convoke the ancient Cortes to adopt measures agreeable to the ancient Castillian Legislature. Bombay Papers to the 26th of May, and New Bruns wick to the Qd of September, have been received at the North and South American Coffee .house. (Prom the Bombay Paper of the 26th'of May.) CALcurrs.—The recent extensive exports of bullion from this port have attracted the attention of Government, and the propriety of adopting measures to check the ex portation is under consideration. The New Brunswick Papers are void of information. According to the last returns, the militia of the United States includes 1,244,569 persons, and the returns are probably not complete.—From the above Papers. THE FUNDS. The Portsmouth intelligence this day communicates the sailing of two ships with troops for the army of Don Pedro ; also an arrival there of a transport from Sar torius's squadron, but as yet we do not know the time she sailed. We understand that Sir John Milley Doyle is o❑ the eve of his departure to join the army of Don Pedro. This active officer is to appoint his own staff, and they are recruiting for him 1,0(50 men, experienced soldiers. A more brave and dashing officer cannot be obtained for the cause of Don Pedro; and we should advise him to be cautious in his military exploits, as Don Miguel would risk much to get possession of this gentleman. We are anxiously expecting important events from that quarter. Consols, which left off yesterday at 84,-} -1 for the Ac count, opened at the same price, but at present they are not so good, and may be quoted 84 for the Account. In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. We have been favoured with the following letter from Oporto of the 22d ult., from a Portuguese merchant of the first respectability : " OPORTO, SEPT. 21.—Although we have been attacked repeatedly from Villa Nova to the present day, their halls and shells have made no impression, and their attacks have always been repulsed; and by what I see, Don Miguel's troops are quite out of spirits, and have lost all hopes of taking the town. Their losses till now must have been very great, and great mistrust prevails amongst them. As the rains will soon set in they must all disperse ; they are in rags, and without shoes." Other lettere are in town to the 24th inst., by a ship arrived at Plymouth, stating that there has been continual skirmishing up to that date, in which Miguel's army lost a great number of men, but so general action. It is positively stated that another protocol will be issued this day by the Conference, respecting the affairs of Holland ; but the contents have not transpired. Consols continue steady at present at 84 for the Ac count, with little doing. The accounts received from Portugal this day are rather of a cheering nature for the cause of Don Pedro. Aecording to which it appears that the troops of Don Miguel cannot snake any impression on Oporto. We do not hear of any news from the rival squadrons. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing.

A conference on the affairs of the Netherlands was held yesterday at the Foreign-office. It was attended by the Russian Ambassador and the Russian Minister on a spe cial mission ; the Prussian and French Ministers, the Aus trian Minister on a special mission, and Viscount PAL MERSTON. The Ministers assembled at 4 o'clock. The Belgian Minister, M. VAN DE WEYER, transacted business in the evening at the office of the Secretary of Slate for Foreign Affairs. _ _ Despatches were received yesterday by his Excellency M. ZEA BERMLJDEZ, the Spanish Minister, from his Government. Despatches were yesterday received from Lord AYL., MER, the Governor of Lower Canada, and also from the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick, at the Colonial office. The Spanish and Hanoverian Ministers visited Viscount PALMERSTON yesterday. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

Lord GREY leaves the North certainly on Thursday, for town, where he it expected to arrive on Saturday evening, as he travels direct. The Archbishop of PARIS, at the close of the American war, thus addressed his congregation : " Years (said be) may pass away, before the two people will perfectly understand each other; but the day must come, when, in spite of their rulers, France and Eng land shall command all nations to remain at peace, and the nations will obey." The Marquis of CHANDOS dined at the mar ket table at Aylesbury on Saturday week with 120 of the most respectable farmers in the county. At the dinner it was agreed to form an Agricultural Society for tlie support and protection of the general interests of agri culture. Lord and Lady STUART DE ROTIISAY are gone to Scotland. On their way from Luton, the Marquis of BuTE's seat, to the north, they paid a short visit to the Loan CHANCELLOR, at Brougham Hall. Although of adverse politics to those of the CHANCELLOR, a personal friendship has always existed between the Noble and Learned B iron and our late Minister at the Court of the King of the FRENCH. Thirty years ago, when they were plain Mr. Cii ARLES STUART and Mr. HENRY BROUGHAM, they were travelling companions on the Continent. . .. . The Marquis of AYLESBURY, who is in his 60th year, is about to lead to the hymeneal altar the beau tiful and highly accomplished Miss Mama. TOLLEMACHE, the grand-daughter of the Countess of Drawly'', who has not yet passed her 21st year. Sir C. 'WETHERELL is re ported to have been one of her many unsuccessful suitors. —Chester Chronicle. We learn from quarters we can rely upon, that the merchants of Oporto have placed at the disposal of Don PEDRO twenty-two thousand pipes of wine, all of which are being embarked for England. At 351. a pipe, it would yield 770,0001. We know it for a certain fact, that one of the princip►l houses in the city, last week, con tracted for a supply of 5,000 stand of small arms and clothing, to be delivered iu a short time.—Morn. Chron. A son of the present Earl of THANET, a youth of great promise and mental acquirements, died at Hothfield last week, of a pulmonary consumption. The Earl of THANET, as we previously mentioned, is thoroughly repairing his noble house at Hoth. field, which the late Earl, from motives highly honourable to himself, had permitted to fall into decay. There are now nearly 100 artisans employed in the interior and on the exterior of the building; so that by Christmas it is expected Hothfield House will resume the splendour it once had, when SACKVILLE, the ninth Earl, who died in Paris in 1825, entertained SHERIDAN, Fox, Boaxx, WYNn- HAM, FITZPATRICK, HARE, Sir PHILIP FRANCIS, and the Prince of WALES, a month together, during several years. On Monday last, the Right Hon. the Earl of THANET was elected Alderman of the borough of Ap. pleby, vacant by the death of his brother, the late Earl. The Rev. THOMAS BELLA S, of Bongate, was also elected Mayor for the ensuing year.—Carlisle Patriot. Died, on Wednesday last, at his seat at Swainstone, Isle of Wight, Sir FITZWILLIA3I BARRING TON, Bart., aged 75. Sir FITZWILLIAM has died without male issue, and the title, which was a creation of 1611, has become extinct ; his estates descend to his eldest daughter, the wife of Sir RICHARD SIMEON, Bart. Sir FITawILLIAM was a descendant of one of the most ancient families in this kingdom, who held estates in Essex long before the Norman conquest, and of which estates Sir FITZWILLIAM died possessed. It is not expected that Sir CHARLES WE THERELL will be required to visit Bristol during the pre sent month in his capacity of Recorder, as there are no prisoners confined in the gaol of that city on capital charges. It is rather singular that there has not been one capital felony at Bristol since the riots of October last. GERALDINE HAMILTON.—This work pro mises, according to report, to be one of the most curious and attractiv e novels ever laid before the public. The subject Alone, independently of circumstances connected with its authorship, could not fail to ensure fixed atten tion, as showing the dangers to which a young lady is ex posed who is thrown into trying situations, without the protection of friends, and relying on herself alone for pro tection. We are informed, by what we consider good authority, that the Chancellor does not intend to fill up the vacancy in the Court of Review occasioned by the death of Sir A. PELT,. It is a remarkable coincidence, and worthy of observation, that in Sir WALTEn. ScoTr's prospectus to the: last edition of the Waverley Novels, he stated that " the work will be comprised in 40 volum s, commencing with Waverley and closing with Woodsto..k." The 40th volume, which contains the conclusion of Woodstock, was published this month. This month the great novelist died ! Mademoiselle GARNERIN nearly lost her life in an aerial voyage which she lately undertook at War saw. She left her balloon in a parachute, which, in the descent, came upon a poplar tree, and she was thrown out. One of her arms was broken, and she was other wise severely injured. Lord MINTO has arrived at Berlin, and all Count Pozzo ax BORGO'S diplomatic arts will be in vain to stir up Austria to a new crusade against liberty.

Proofs have recently been made of the French Colonel PAIXHAN'S cannon for carrying bombs. The Military Governor of Antwerp, and the whole staff of the artillery, having assembled at Bra , sehaet, the experiments began with a gun of 10 inch diameter in the bore ; the projectile weighed 1301 b. English, and was carried an immense distance, without any detriment whatever to the accuracy of its direction. The experiment was repeated w ith equal result from an 8-inch gun. The range of these shells was computed to be 3,000 metiss, or 3;29,1 yards. Canister shot air; lac launched from the Colonel's guns wish most destructive efficacy. Successive experi• ments of their power were made with diameters of 8 and 10 inches—in other words, with a box containing 545 balls, and weighing 1281 b., and with another containing 947 halls, and weighing 23616.; their effect Was truly ap palling.— United SyrviecJourna/.

In the near approach of this inquiry into the conduct of our Chief Magistrate, and which involves also that of his colleagues, during the late outrages, we forbear going into the question further than to remark that if the verdict be in their favour, we hope their innocence will he satisfactorily demonstrated by the evidence ; if otherwise, that ample justice will be done to the city at large.—Bristol Mercury. The 17 theatres in Paris will contain altoge ther about 21,000 persons. The highest price of admis sion to the French and Italian opera-houses is 10 francs ; the lowest in the Boulevards theatres is 15 centimes. In the environs of Paris there are nine minor houses, and in the departments 32, in addition to 34 strolling companies. The commercial accounts from Canton, re ceived yesterday, state that it was understood there that the East India Company had sent out orders to the Select Committee not to adopt any course which might have a tendency to bring them in collision with the Chinese autho rities ; and that, should any impediments be throw❑ in the way of the trade, the members of the Select Coln mittee were to leave Canton, rather than risk any hostile demonstration. It was fully expected in Canton that something would be done by the Imperial Parliament, be fore the charter of the East India Company was renewed, to prevent, if possible, the recurrence of the interruptions in the tea trade that had occurred. The Select Commit tee had disposed of all their investments in long cloths, to the extent of 26,200 pieces. Important despatches, it was said, had been received out by the Select Committee from London, the contents of which some anxiety was ma nifested to ascertain. The Madras Gazette of the 20th of May contains a letter, dated the 10th, from Coringa, giving an account of a hurrican which had been felt on the previous day. The roofs of houses and trees were flying in the air, and many vessels completely capsized, with keels upwards. Not less than seventy native crafts are said to have been driven into the country. The Jane and the Britannia were both brought up by some rising grounds near a pa goda, but which, by making a channel of 200 yards, could be got into the river. A new ship, building, was blown off the stocks, and washed into the river. The devasta tion was very great, and would be long felt, as all the tanks were filled with salt water. CAUTION TO SPORTSMEN.—On Saturday a distressing accident happened to Mr. BURROWES, of Lower Edmonton, while shooting with a friend at Hat. field, on the estate of the Marquis of SALISBURY. Mr. BURROWES had just jumped over a hedge, and his friend was in the act of following him, with his fowling-piece uncocked, when the hammer was caught by a twig, which partially raised it, allowing it to descend with suffi cient force to discharge the gun, when the whole of its con tents were lodged in the calf of Mr. BURROWES'S leg, shattering it in so dreadful a manner that it is feared am• putation will be necessary. On Tuesday last, a whale was cast ashore on Coquet Island, in a sickly state, and, on being discovered by the old man who is keeper of the island, it being ebb tide, the monster, finding the water leaving him, made a des perate struggle to escape. The inhabitant of the island not being usually honoured with a visitor of such dimensions, immediately hoisted his flag for assistance from the land, which was promptly attended to by the Hauxley fisher men, who arrived in time to assist the seaman, and they succeeded in capturing the whale, after firing several shots and piercing it with a spear. It measured 50 feet.— Newcastle Courant. A REGAL LUNATIC.—CHRISTIAN the Seventh of Denmark, who died in ISOS, it is well known was long a lunatic. He knew one written document from another by its outward appearance, but seemed to delight in affixing his signature any where but on the fitting spot. Here he wo u ld d ecorate it w i t h l etters as l arge as t h e s h eet itself, and there be would sketch all sorts of grotesque figures upon it, or subscribe some important decree of the cabinet, like a Cockney chapman, with the words " Chris tian and Company." It was no rare occurrence for the stricken monarch to labour hard at inditing his signature for an hour or two, and then, sending his pen to the fur thest corner of the apartment, cry out, " We will no more; we've signed enough to-day !" He was one day conversing with a foreign envoy, when he suddenly stroked his pro boscis, exclaiming, "If your master's nose had been pulled so long as my servants have pulled [sine, his wo - 41d be just as long as my own." Those who dined at his table usually made no account of his royal presence, but chatted, roared, and amused themselves, as if he had been a thou sand miles from the spot. On one occasion, some ladies on either side of him, having bent across him for the purpose of whispering some secret into one another'a ears, he pushed each of their heads back into its proper place, then threw his clenched hands on the table, looked round with fury in his eyes, and raising his voice to its loudest pitch, ro,red out amidst their revels, " Suppose I should suddenly cow to the right use of my senses again—what next would you expect?" You might have heard a feather drop on the ground as the posing, thundering query e,hoed in their ears.

Courtier of his Times. LAMBETH ELECTION. Yesterday evening, a meeting of the Walworth electors was hrld at the Montpelier Tavern. The well-known great room of the Tavern was completely filled. SAMUEL PALMER, Esq. took the chair, and said this was one of a series of meetings held for the purpose of making Mr. Tennyson better known to the electors of Lambeth, and be was confident that the more that Right Hon. Gentleman was known, the more they would ap prove of him for their representative in Parliament.-- (Hear, hear.) At all the other meetings that had been held, resolutions were unanimously agreed to, by which they pledged themselves for the return of Mr. Tennyson, as would prove at once their sense of the importance of the elective franchise, and of the high merits of their represen tative, and to return him, as all virtuous candidates ought to be returned by virtuous electors, free of expense. Mr. Tennyson's long parliamentary career proved how worthy he was of their confidence. He had always proved himself the zealous and able supporter of civil and religions liberty ; and on the question of prohibiting land owners from setting spring-guns to protect their g tme, by the destruction, it might be, of innocent people, Mr. Ten nyson made one of the most manly and able speeches he had ever read.—(Hear, hear.) He and Mr. Tennyson'' , Committee did not ask their support for a wolf in sheep% clothing, but for a man of a long consistent life, who had always proved himself the friend of liberty. Mr. Tenny son's objects were--cheap Government, and the greatest happiness of the greatest number. With respect to the profligate expenditure of the country he (the Chairman) had hopes that when the present men got into power, oo the very principle of opposition to that profligate expendi ture, that they would have redeemed their pledges ; but they had not done so.—(Hear, hear.) It then became the duty of the electors to send in men who, without re gard to Whig or Tory, would do their duty faithfully and fearlessly, and such a man they had in Mr. Tennyson.— ( A pplause. ) Mr HATTON said Mr. Calvert had stated that the Marquis of Salisbury's house at Hatfield was assessed at 1001. a year, and he had a house near it not one-eighth of the size that was assessed at 1501. a year.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Coke's house at Holkham also was assessed at 1001. a year; the case was the same with Whigs and Tories, while a tradesman's house was often assessed at 1501. or even 2001. a year.—( Hear, hear.) Noblemen liked taxes that bore on the people, and enabled them to give all them, estates to their eldest sons, and quarter their youngest sons on the taxes, and when they married their daughters to parsons, if they could not make them Bishops they mutt at least get half a dozen livings and do nothing.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Tennyson bad made a grand stand against the Marquis of Salisbury, and that and his whole parlia• mentary conduct should recommend him to the people (Hear.) There were two hundred electors in that parish who would not support any candidate who would not vote for the repeal of the window and house tax. He wished to know whether Mr. Tennyson would do so ?—(Hear ) Mr. ARPTHORPE thought it would be unwise in a public body to pledge their representative to the repeal of a particular tax.--(Hear.) In the great struggle for Re form they obtained their signal triumph by sinking all minor differences.—(Hear, hear.) He knew Mr. Ten nyson was a friend to the Church of England : for himself be was no friend to the Church of England, and thought America had done right to get rid of all state religion.— (L•ong continued applause.) If the Right Hon. Gentle man wished to have Bishops, Deans, Prebends, and other church dignitaries, he had no objection, only let those who wanted them pay for them.—(lmmense applause.) Still the Established Church had been so long a part of the law of the land, that he thought it would be difficult to ask for a pledge even on that point. Mr. Tennyson had shown himself an able and consistent Reformer, and therefore worthy of the confidence of the people.—(Hear, hear.) He moved a resolution to the effect that the meeting do concur in the resolutions passed by the other districts of the borough of Lambeth, to support the election of the Right Hon. Charles Tennyson as one of their representa tives in Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. STEVENS, in seconding the resolution, said it would be a shocking thing to give the maiden borough of Lam beth to two old Tories.—(Applause and laughter). Mr. Tennyson's conduct proved him worthy of their confidence. Lucirrtios wished to ask Mr. Tennyson whe ther be would vote for Triennial Parliaments, for vote by ballot, for the separation of the Church from th e State—(great applause)—for the expulsion of the Bishops from the House of Lords—(long.continued cheering)—for the repeal of the corn laws, and for the abolition of all corporation monopolies—(Hear, hear)—for the repeal of all taxes and restrictions on the press—(great cheering)— that truth should not be a libel—and for a bill to enable the people to elect their own magistrates—(Hear, hear, hear)—and lie wished to know Mr. Tennyson's opinion on the currency question—(a great laugh)---and what re lief he intended for Ireland.—(Great applause.) Mr. WILLEY approved of the questions. He had no hesitation in saying, that Mr. Tennyson must be their re presentative, because be was the most honest candidate.— (Hear, hear). Mr. TENNYSON was most anxious to make himself per fectly understood on all the questions asked him.—( Hear, hear.) Of all the meetings of electors which he had at tended the present was most satisfactory to his feelings, because they proved that they were fully aware of the im portance of the trust they had to confide, and determined to call upon the candidate for their confidence fully to de clare his opinions. —(Hear, hear.) He had not flinched from any questions ; but some of these now proposed did not admit of a positive answer, because the answer mu.t depend on other considerations. They would return him to deliberate on the public weal—he spoke to them as his future constituents, which he felt satisfied they would be— (Great applause)—and he would tell them that constitu tionally he was bound not to give positive pledges. He would state an instance. He had made up his mind, as clearly as it was possible to do on any subject, in fa vour of the scot and lot franchise, but still he gave no pledge. Suppose he had been asked at Stam ford to give such a pledge, and had given it ; he must in that case have opposed the 101. franchise, of which he certainly disapproved, though he took it as the best be could get; and opposing that franchise would, in effect, be op posing the Reform Bill, which he strenuously supported, though it disfranchised three rotten boroughs connecter: with his family.—(Hear, hear, hear.) But though he thought pledges unconstitutional, he would answer every question, and declare his opinion upon every point.— (Hear, hear.) The first question was, whether he would vote for triennial Parliaments? He had repeatedly stat,tl that he thought the duration of Parliaments too long, and would vote to shorten it.—(Hear.) He thought that three years was probably the best term, but if be could not get a shorter period than four years, he would not re ject it.—(Hear, hear.) It was well known to the elec tors that he was decidedly in favour of the vote by ballet ; he founded his opinion on his knowledge of the manner of canvassing in the country, where the tyrannical landlord was gaining an advantage over him that was mild and good.—(Hear, hear.) He was asked whether he would vote for the separation of the Church from the State. A publication of his had excited the vengeance of the Church against him ; for although a churchman, there was no man snore disgusted with the present state of the church, or more anxious to see its abuses corrected. Large incomes were given to those who do no duty, while those by whom the duty is performed, aro lett to starve.— ( Hear, hear.) In Ireland the state of the church was still worse.—(Hear, hear, hear.) There the people were com pelled by law to pay the clergy of another church; these were evils that demanded correction, and the people would have them corrected.—(Applause.) If the public opi nion declared the Established Church does not administer to the spiritual wants of the people, it could sot stand ; but he hoped that the vigorous measure.* of a Reformed Parliament might effect its porikation, if not its aboli tion was certain.—(treat applause.) With respect to the expulsion of the Bishops from the House of Lords, that was a measure of great State importance, not to be decided without great deliberation; but he was of opinion that the Bishops lay under great temptations to be cor rupt ; but hoped it might be ppesible ao far to remove those temptations as to render their continuance in the House of Lords more tolerable. The public opinion, he knew, was against it, and in that opinion, to a certain degree, he participated.—(Hear, hear, hear.) With respect to the Corn Laws he was satisfied they do ' not produce the result expected from them ; and he was disposed to repeal all the existing laws ; but he was still of opinion that in the present state of this country, corn must be considered one of its manufacture., and while the, other manufactures were protected, that corn t is4bn egh i ardent( poesy, G r he a e t devotion ryas applause.) p p lalmostau .to ashamed e. was entitled to, the same protection ; esp ec i a ll y as ooDanaer m al and land e d p ros p er ity mus t go h an d i n hand together. —(lier, o f hear.)soq r\uVeinthtlyre'reppeecaLt to the rt y that palladium of Il r iti s k All the liberty this country possessed was an emanation from the liberty of the press, and every restriction on the press was an attack on the liberty of the people.—(Long continued applause.) Whether truth should in any case be considered a libel, was a point on which he had ar rived at his conclusion with great difficulty ; but he thought it should not.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The next q.uestion respecting the election of magistrates by the people. As far as corporations were concerned be had repeatedly given his opinion that they required reforma tion. In ancient times the people elected the weathers of the corporation, and they had confilienee in them ; but now the corporator. elect themselves, and have become the base instruments of a patron, the corrupt tools of his op pression.—(Great applause.) These were his opinions on corporatioas ; but he hoped he should not be asked to de clare an opinion respecting the whole magistracy of the country ; but that he would lie alluwed to go to Parlia ment and hear the opinions of men wiser than himself, and then act conscientiously according to the best of his judgment.—(Hear. hear.) If they could not trust hint they should not elect him. If they wanted a candidate prepared to give positive opinions on all point!, they might take a candle and lanthorn and look for a represen tative from one end of the kingdom to the other.—(Hear, hear.) His life had been spent in support of civil and religious liberty, and if he should ever deviate they knew their remedy. If it should be made satisfactory to his mind, that he was no longer acceptable to them, he felt that it was impossible that he should retain the proud elevation of their representative.—(Great applause.)— On the subject of the currency be was certain if it were put to the vote whether he should enter on it, ❑ine hands out of ten would be held up against it.—(Hear, hear.) He should now only say that a monstrous evil had been inflicted by what had been done.—(Hear, hear.) With respect to Ireland, the whole course of the Government of that country must be changed before it could be satisfied. —(Hear, hear.) Ireland had ever been oppressed, lie hoped the sun would shine on her, and no man would lend a hand for her deliverance more sincerely than himself...-. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the repeal of the house and window tax, a lone course of misgovernment had brought on these oppressive taxes. In the window tax it was not the necessaries of life that were attacked, but life itself.—(Applause.) The house tax was most partial and unjust, and he should certainly vote for the repeal of both.—The Right Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst the loudest cheering. Some persons at the bottom of the room called out to know, would Mr. Tennyson pledge himself to vote for the repeal of the Act for settling 100,000?. a-year on the Queen in the event of her surviving the King?—.(Hear, hear. ) The CHAIRMAN put the question on the resolution, which was carried by an immense majority, there being a few hands held up against it by those who had called for repealing the settlement on the Queen. The carrying the question was followed by long-con tinued cheering for Mr. Tennyson. A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman by accla mation, after which the meeting was dissolved.

ST EA LI Na.—Edward Wilkinson was ch 9 rged before Sir F. A. Rox, with horse-stealing under the fol lowing circumstances:— Joseph Butcher stated that he was a farmer, and on Friday last went to Uxbridge with a mare for sale. He was in treaty with the prisoner, when another man came up and proposed adjourning to a public-house to conclude the bargain. They did so, and he agreed to take 2/. 17s. 6d. for it. The prisoner gave the third man some money and left the room. The other person then gave him the money; but on counting it he found there was only 21. 12s. 6d., which he refused to take, and laid it down. When he went out he could find neither the horse nor the prisoner. There was also a bridle and a halter on the horse, which he had not seen since. The prisoner was taken into custody in town last night. The Magistrate thought the case was one where he might allow the parties to try and come to a settlement— they bad better retire, and he would advise the prisoner to pay the money agreed on, as well as the price of the bridle, &c. Edward Jordan, a young Waterman, was fined 20s. for letting off a squib last night in the Strand, as the policeman said, " without any provocation." MARLBOROUGH-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Robert Dauneer, a labouring man, was brought up on a charge of felony. It appeared that a lodger in a house in Wardour-street having quitted it after notice, employed the prisoner to remove her goods. There was a messen ger in the house at the time for a broker, who had put in an attachment from the Court of Chancery for 3781. and the broker, chancing to pass, gave the prisoner into custody on acharge of felony. The MAGISTILATII, thinking there was no felonious in tent, discharged the prisoner, and declined to interfere to effect the restoration of the goods which had already been moved off the premises.
