A TALL--, T t By HARRIET LEE. T il l e 'e knowing Drama is taken entirely from Krititzner, a fir st ' by Miss Lee. When I was young (about 14, I think), I ‘l l ,t read this Tale, which made a deep impression upon me 11 44 /4 ,Y, inde e d, be s a id t o con t a i n th e germ o f muc h t h a t I likd 'wee written. I have generally found, that th ose w h o 1 4 1 re a - d this Tale agreed with m e in th e ir es ti ma t e o f th e Ahlintilar power of mind and conception which it developes, Ito ttK those whose opinions agreed with mine upon this ti,efs,s! could mention some very high names ; but it is not 4 e, c ot ' ,""). , nor indeed of any use, for every one must judge o e ti :'"lg to their own feelings. I merely refer the reader t• P ale 7 nal story, that he may see to VI hat extent I have bor. 411,f1t ' from it • and amunwilling that he should find reater pleasure in perusing it than the Drama, which kttut4tlded upon its contents.—(Lord BYRON'S Preface to Printing for John Murray, Albemarle-street, - .1 - " ''.Pg• - .7 -- nr .4 •11. - ' .-4.- • and to-morrow hug as denizens to their bosoms and invite into the Councils of the state, the very men that, in Parliament and out of Parliament, are doing all in their power to discredit, disannul, and for ever cancel those disabilities.' Defect of political integrity does not, however, as to the guilt of it, apply with an equal reprobation to all, though the evil engendered by it is, I fear, nearly the same be the motive to it what it may. In the present instance it has been alleged by those who wish to excuse their votes, and to cover their uneasiness on the ground of a sort of Conipulsatory bending to circumstances, that M. Bankes was late. in his application ; that solicitations were pressing ' • and that as no avowed Anti chatholic Candidate had offered, nor to their knowledge, was likely to offer, they were induced to pledge their support tothose who, by their youth and ingenuosness, seemed the least likely to involve themselves under the permanent yokeof Catholic ad vocacy. Gorr knows we are all sufficiently frail to feel the duty of ex tenuating frailty.in one another ; and we rejoice when the mind is able to redeem it faults by any mode ofto.:gument which rea son can approve of, and which justice can reconcile with virtue. This apology, therefore, mint be allowed its due weight. It must be considered as extenuating, though it does not justify this purblind approximation to political delinquency. It may serve well enough to get these gentlemen out of the black Ka leader, though it is, hardly, I doubt, of sufficient potency com pletely to reinstate them in the white one. Mr. Bankes cer tainly was late in his canvass, very late. But what of that ? Where none had offered themselves worthy of the representa tion, votes conscientiously might, and prudently should have been kept in reserve. There was no necessity for any man to entangle himself by a hasty determination. He was not called upon to go so. The folly and the discredit of it were of his own seeking. • . The same reasons that shauld have operated With the volun tary seceders from a righteous cause, ought to have had some, and perhaps no inconsiderable influence on these involuntary defaulters. What business had any man, honest and vigorous in his opposition to the Catholic claims, -to commit himself by pledging his vote, when he knew there was no one fit to receive it ? Mr. Scarlet, a hoary political offender, albeit - his Whig friends, accustomed to puffing off their wares which are not for every market, represented him, as one Whose honesty they all thirst swear for, Though not a man of them knew wherefore. Mr. Grant — , dipt in " Presbyterian true blue" and of course canonized by the evangelical apostles of Calvanism ; my Lord Hervey, in the fashioning of young opinion apparently not disposed to pay any peculiar respect to " old experience;" and all of them avowed advocates for Catholic Emancipation. Was there a candidate among them capable of r:ceiving anti catholic vote ? Looking upon Emancipation in the de cided light these gentlemen have given us reason to believe they do; petitioning their Sovereign, session after session, never to admit to Civil power those who, sanctioned by the notion of " doing God service," would be certain to make the very worst ecclesiastical use of it ; should they-- I put it to the' sober reflection of their, own hearts—should they have consented to arm such adversaries of their peace against them—to invest them with those rights and privileges which they knew beforehand would be applied to the sub version of the very cause they had been straining every nerve manfully, faithfully, loyally, and in a becoming spirit of orthodoxy to support ?—O no ! They should have acted like men whose own loss or gain, credit or discredit, weighed but as dust in the balance. Openly and patriotically they should have declared, that no vote of theirs would be given so long as there was no candidate of their own persuasion to give it to ; and, that if in the event none appeared, that that vote should never be defiled by any prostitution of it to unworthy purposes. If it unfortunately could effect no good, all " innocence of the great offence," pure as it came out, it should return into their own bosom. • As for those Gentlemen who, on this occasion, may have been influenced in the disposin g of their votes by a sense o f gratitude, and may have acted under the impression that such conduct would be agreeable to their patrons, we have hardly the heart to blame them, though a plea of this kind for the de reliction of an acknowledged duty must never be commended : gratitude is a great, it is a valuable virtue. It weighs much with every mind, and with every mind it ought to weigh much. It ia a heavenly feeling that operates upon the best dispositions in the most forcible and affectionate manner. l t evinces, not an impatience of obligation, but a disposition to return the be nefits we have received, and, by such return, to manifest that we are not undeserving of them. It is of so gracious a nature that it seems almost to sanctify any course it may take in running towards its parent fount. Where, unadulterated with impnrer motives,it is the sole source of a man's political retrogressions, we learn, if possible, to pardon it. \% e must recollect that the failing is an amiable one, and will probably in the mind's re tirements be competent to Correct itself; that the error is an error of virtue, the sacrifice a sacrifice to virtue ; arid that there is enough left in such characters very highly to esteem, thou i gh somewhat be deducted from that entire veneration with which we have been accustomed, and still fondly hoped to continue to contemplatelhem. I verily; Sir, believe, in mercy I may not do otherwise, that this excellent feeling, where the heart is right, has great part in many, not to say in most of our. political inconsistencies. By a sort of holy violence it turns the eye of rectitude from that open straight forward path- in which she had delighted to tread; and tempts to what is wrong under the semblance of what is " pure and good report." But virtue must not thus be made accessory to her own reproach. The sense of obligation must not he suffered to supersede the vitality of principle; nor must grateful conduct, highly as we revere it, innovate upon the claims and usurp the rewards of moral conduct. There is no defalcation of gratitude when we maintain, anti determine to act upon' our settled opinions, evermore our most valuable opinions, even in the midst of received or expected favours. If there be a proper spirit in our patrons, they will not feel obliged to UR for any sacrifices of this kind. They will indeed wish for our support, and hope we may be enabled to give it; but unless we can give it conscientiously ; unless we can enter into their feelings, imbibe their sentiments, and advocate their cause " with all our heart and all our soul," as honourably minded men themselves, they will forbear to request and will disdain to accept it. _ _ Reserving for your next week's paper the grosser offenders against political integrity, those swayed in the disposition of their votes by mere interested motives, and those influenced by a modification of opinion without seeming to recollect that jus tice requires a correspondent modification of conduct. I remain, &c. MARCUS. SHIP-OWNERS' SOCIETY. Yesterday the Anniversary . Dinner of the Ship-owners' Society took place at the City of London Ta vern. The Earl of LivEnrooL, as President of the Society, officiated as Chairman, supported by Lord Melville ; the Right Hon. Frederick Robinson, President of the Board of Trade; Mr. Lushington ; and the principal commercial gentlemen con nected with the shipping interests. After the cloth was removed, the usual healths of the Royal Family were drank, and the Cum nYLAN next proposed " the health of Lord Melville and his Majesty'S Navy." Lord MELVILLE, in returning thanks, said, that when he considered the important place which the naval force of the country filled in its maritime strength, he was not surprised to find such a toast given and received with so much enthu siasm. if it was fair for them to judge from the past, they were in every respect entitled to anticiN to fiir the future, that the navy of the country would m t b-! wanting in the faithful performance of their duty—they :tad already bled in the cause, their best efforts had been given, and would again be given, to support the best interests of their country.—(Ap lause.)—He entirely concurred with this society in thinkink that the maritime strength of this country was its strongest hold— that it was the best citadel of its defence, and the main pillar on which they must rest the basis of their dependence for the maintenance of their own power, and the p:trmanent security of the high situation which this country had a right to hold among the nations of Europe._(Hear, hear !)—That situation was as proud as it was strong, and would be firmly upheld as long as their navy maintained that high discipline and effi ciency which had given to it so much rep u t a ti o n a nd c h arac t er . —(Applause.)—He concluded by requestin g th em t o acce pt hi s warmest thanks for the honour of coupling his name with that of the navy of the country. The next toast was—" The Army of the United Kingdom." The Earl of LIVERPOOL, in proposing " Prosperity to the Shipping Interests of the Country," begged leave to say a few words upon a topic so essentially connected, not only with the object of their meeting, but with the best commercial interests of the country at large. Independent, however, of these immc_ , . - diate motive for proposing the toast, he begged to put In his e'.&m for introducing it upon still higher grounds ; for he must ever consider the shipping interests as mainly connected with thb best security of the country itself. " We," said the Noble Earl, " owe our security to our Navy, and we owe our Navy to that.. system of Navigat on Laws under wh - ch our country has so long ' acted with so much advantage to her best interests." It had - been supposed (but erroneously) by some, that England oweel • her Navy to the nature and facilities of her insular situation. That ante facilities were favourable to the growth of her Navf, no man would deny ; but all who were acquainted with the • history of this country must know, that, England did not derive her safety from the advantages alone of her insular - situation ; that at different periods of her history afforded her inadequate ' .protection, and all who had attentively considered this sub.. ject must know, that tf.e growth of her Navy and the firmness of her security' had been established, and were coeval with her .system of Navigation Laws.—(Applause.)—And it was by the • promotion and salutary application of.the true principle of those laws, not by the adoption of fanciful and impracticable theories, but by a real and careful attention to the situation of the Coati- • try, that England could look to the permanent security of her naval system, to the maintenance of her national honour,. to' the enjoyment of her happin ess , an d t o th e general diffusion" of those blessings which attended well regulated industry and enteprise. (Applause.) Ile trusted that these principles would long contribute to the same happy results, and that they would repeatedly meet to celebrate them. (Applause.) Mr. J. W. BUCKLE next proposed the health of the Earl of Liverpool, the President of their Society, which was drunk with great applause. . . The Earl of LIVEItPOOL, in returning thanks, said, that the honour he enjoyed of being P res id en t o f their Society was • both unsolicited and unexpected by him at the time he received it. He could not, however, but consider it as the highest proof of their respect for the principles he supported respecting thle nature and value of the shipping interests of the country, as. • well as a compliment of a personal nature. • • Mr. ROWCROFT, in proposing the health of the Right Hon. Frederick Robinson and the Board of Trade, observed,. that • whether trade were the mother of navigation, or navigation tire foster parent of trade, w as a q ues ti on w hi c h he would not rune discuss. He would not trace the.history of navigation flan-a the ; time of the Carthaginians downwards ; but he would hail the adoption of commercial principles in the present day whiels."- gave a fair encouragement to the ind us t r y o f a ll nat i ons, an d e left each to the cultivation and enjoyment of her own resources. Mr. ROBINSON, in returning thanks, said that he was highly flattered, and extremely grateful for this mark of their approbation ; and he hoped they would allow him to say, that having entered upon the discharge of those duties which had 7 brought him under their notice with the full persuasion and -• knowledge that every step he took woukl he'under the.inemedi 7 ate observation of those- whose interest it was to watch his pre gress, and who were competent to judge properly his measures— he hoped they would allow him on this occasion to say, that he ac. cepted this mark of their approbation as the most gratifying testi mony which could be furnished of the propriety of his course. --( Applause.)—Long before he had become official] v connected • with the administration of the naval and commercial affairs :of the country, he was deeply impressed with the truth of the . opinions just expressed by his Noble Friend, their, Chair man : he looked upon them as identified with, and supporting .. those principles, by the maintenance of which the navy of Erg- land would essentially contribute to the security of the country,. the exaltation of its glory, and the permanent confirmation of its prosperity.—(Applause.)--They had,indeed, to boast of a series of unparalleled triumphs during the late war—a war of unexam pled extent, and, he might say, except where the navy were can. cerned, of equally unexampled vicissitudes. No man could take a retrospective glance at that war, without seeing hear powerfully the best interests of the country were preinoted by.that great body of the commercial interests whose representatives were assembled in the present company. They who had been living witnesses of the -spirit with which the co u nt r y-had main tained its character, and of the means afford e d by th e commer cial interests of the country for that great purpose, had seen enough to authorize them in holding, out to their posterity•the;: same assurance of security which they had themselves in times past derived. Should the crisis ever come when their descend- - ants might be called upon to make similai exertions for the maintenance of the national honour anti the protection of their indispensable interests—should such a time ever arrive, he had not the smallest doubt that their descendants would be animate ed by the same spirit, would persevere in the same efforts fcir' the security of their rights, and would, in their turn, establish a claim for the gratitude of those who would succeed them is the possession and enjoyment of the privileges which their wis a dons and foresight had provided:.--(Applause.) Mr. Manus - AT, in rising to propose the health of Mr. Cati ning.; and the rest of his Majesty a M inisters, said, that the clouds which had overhung the commerce of this country, at length became dispersed, and those" engaged in her mercantile interests • had now a clearer and more cheering prospect before them. Ifv' said this from the auspicious result of a part of the investigatiett in of the commercial system of the GoY er nm en t, an d th e deteri-- nation which had been adbpted to probe some of its most essdie tial branches. It was gratifying to see that proper and reason;-, able, not fanciful endeavours, were making, to fix the prin, ciples of commerce on a basis of the utmost freedom, without going the length of those impracticable theories of univerltll free trade. His Majesty's Government had lately legitimatizell. the trade with South America—a (Darter of the globe that had but lately emerged froth darkness into light, and emancipated itself from tyranny and oppression, and acquired a station 4 freedom and moral eminence.—(Applause. )—To the NewWqrld he thought must the commercial interests of England look f or an indemnification against the errors of the Old—these they would fiad a new impetus and scope for commercial enterpristl, which would, in .its beneficial consequences, be felt by all classes of society, commercial, manufacturing, and agricultural.— ( Hear I )—From what had transpired of the proceedings of tit elate Congress at Verona, (little as perhaps it was), the country bud reason to rejoice at the predominancy of British principles over the arbitrary and unsuitable opinions of more despotic powers (ap plause); and he most sincerely trusted, that the salutary operation of such principles, and the feelings which they necessarily en gendered, would eventually terminate in securing the peace of the World': by a steady perseverance in such a course his Ma jesty's Ministers would not only secure the applause asf this meeting, but of mankind in general. (Applause.) He con cluded by proposing the health of Mr. Canning and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers; and may they long continue to 'be the guardians of the commercial interests of this country.-4 (Drank with great applause.) The Earl of LIVERPOOL returned thanks on the part of Mr. Canning and the other absent Ministers; and said, that to his cer tain knowledge Mr. Canning would havc . been present on this occasion were it not that unavoidable business, over which he had no controul at a late hour in the day detained him elsewheri. He had requested him to state how gratified he should haye been had circumstances enabled him to he present, and how much he regretted his absence on such an occasion. The healths of the Vice-Presidents, the Committee, and their Chairman, were then successively drank, a f ter a f ew wor d s in acknowledgment, and in proposing them, front Mr. Rowcioft, Mr. Gillespie, Mr. Bowles, and Mr. Buckle. Mr. ROBINSON said, that surrounded as he was, not only by the shipping interests, but by the general commercial, n terests of the country ; concentrated as they were in this, the greatest commercial city in the world; and knowing how essen tially the prosperity of the State was connected with the pros perity of the city of London, he begged to take this opportunity of proposing " Prosperity to the City of London. —Thzee times three. Mr. Alderman BRIDGES, in returning thanks, regretted the absence, through indisposition, of his colleague Sir Wm. CurtiS, who would have done Justice to the toast, and who was rarely absent when the interests of the city of London were to be con sidered. Mr. MARTIN proposed the health of Mr. MARRYAT, who confined himself in acknowledging the compliment to the ex pression of his thanks. The CHAIRMAN next gave " the health of Mr. J. Black hurne, and success to the Seaman's Hospital," " the ,West India School Society and Lord MELv mix," as a Director of each, returned thanks. _ Mr. GUTHRIE, in acknowledging the Stewards' healtiks, pointed out to the company the necessity of replenishing the funds of the Ship-owners' Society. " The outward and homeward bound" was the • toast which followed, and The Earl of LxvEaroOL; in conclusion, said that there was one toast which he had to give before they . parted, which was peculiarly a-propos on the pretent occasion—kwas, " 'The wooden walls of Old England,"—drank with great applause. The Chairman and Cabinet Ministers left the room. at half past ten o clock. _ :t, • • - - Messrs. Taylor, Broadhurst, Leete, and Pyne, sang several pleasing airs in the course of the evening. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1822. , _:AAIBRIDGE ELECTION. We are again indebted' to The Bury Gazette, (of the 11th instant) for a Second Letter from MARCUS, whose first we inserted last week. We are confirmed in our opinion that these Letters proceed from the writer who produced those ad mirable Letters,*' in the same Journal, copied into the SUN, in defence of the Bishop of PETERBO ROUGH'S memorable QUESTIONS, SO well calculated to support the purity of the Established Church. The sentiments on POLITICAL INTEGRITY, in the subjoined Letter, are sound, mural, and convinc ing, and the observations on G :LATITUDE, towards the conclusion, are just, striking, philosophical, and eloquent. We rejoice to see such writers come forward in this age of RADICALISM to sup port the best of Constitutionsaid the purest of Religions. To the Editor of the Bury Gazette. SlR,—Having in my former letter stated such preliminary remarks on the late University Election as I thought necessary, I proceed to inquire into the nature of political integrity and the danger of violating it. It is painful" to be obliged to ad vance sentiments which no man will probably be solicitous to thank us for ; but where there are errors to be corrected and misconduct to be repressedove must not suffer the calls of duty to be merged in the feelings of compassion or respect. A report was early prevalent pending the contest, that Gentle men of decided Whig principles were abOut to vote for Tory candidates : that others of Tory persuasion were regarding with no unfavourable eye the Whig candidate; and that others again who were adverse to the Catholic claims, were enlisting themselves in the service of those who professed,, and who were known to be the acknowledged advocates of those claims. These reports, I believe,- Sir, we may now venture, in a good measure, to assume as facts. Few, after the perusal of the Poll Book, will probably hazard a denial of them. I rather indeed suspect, as the disingenuousness of such conduct must, some how or other, be got rid of, that this singular anomaly of political feeling is attempted to be defended on the broad grounds of a- compulsatory bending to existing.circumstances ; a grateful return for favours received ; a due preparation for favours expected ; and a modification of opinion which every man who sees cause for it has a right to entertain. It becomes necessary, therefore l to point out to Gentlemen who are con tent to rest on such apologies . for such conduct, t how poorly these pleas of justific a tion will a v a il them ; h ow destruc tive any compromise, however plausible, must be to solid prin ciple : and how little they gain in the patronage of the great, compared with what they lose, and alas ! lose for ever, in the estimation of the wise and good ! By what sort of casuistry men are able to separate moral and political integrity, I confess I know not. The 'Whigs, in deed, in the plenitude of their worldly wisdom, have done it repeatedly; but the Whigs arc no pattern for a correct mind. Moral integrity is the binding virtue of private life; political integrity holds together publiC bodies ; and both must be ex erted in a social state towards the production of social happi ness and security. It is a gross and "a lamentable error to sup pose, with these Whigs, that political integrity may mean any thing or nothing, according as the wind sits fair or foul to their current interest and purposes. They know'not, nor ever did know, the value of it. It is a high and honour able virtue leading to high and honourable conduct'—its foundations are deeply laid ; its spirit cast in no common mould—it is built on purity of thought, purity of word, purity of deed—a solid constructure and awful, but not more awful than needed—for one of- the first duties of men, in their' social capacity, is to be sincere—from their converse we must know their hearts—from the general tenor of their prin ciples we must gather the particular line of their conduct, and the rectitude of their lives must be the sacred pledge, never to be violated, of the consistency of their integrity. Not to be able to contemplate them in this strong and beautiful light would be distressing. Not to be able so to contemplate them in seasons of emergency would be both distressing and danger ous : desertions from virtue in men of virtue are always mor tifying. To those who admit that political and moral integrity stand On the same ground, and must be rendered amenable to the same strict judgment, the violation of the former, under any pretext whatever, must be inadmissable. But to those who deny such a consanguinity, it may be further necessary to ob serve, that if we Omit the principle that men need not be sway ed by their political relations, it will be difficult to demonstrate that they yet require to be governed by their private ones; every argument for the transgression of the one, plead ing with equal potency fbr the infringement of the other. And we surely need not be told, that where men are permitted to abandon consistency for ther party views and purposes, the corruption will descend till it mixes itself with the common avocations of life ; and what the state of society in such a case is likely to be, we may fairly leave to every one's reflection to determine. • Of the infelicities of conduct by which men are incited to betray the natural corruption of the heart, none is more pro minent than the advocating a cause, through the medium of vote or interest, which they confessedly hold not in esteem, and which therefore all the cooler deliberations, all the honest con victions, all the higher powers and propensities of the soul, must sequester from its communion and participation with scorn. A man may be of any political party he pleases ; he may entertain any crude and wild opinions, and defend them in any wild and inordinate manner ; he may presume too much upon his own, and too little upon the weight and in fluence of his opponents ; he may even feel or fancy it neces sary to disparage, as far as he is able, their very motives.— But these, Sir, though grievous tributes upon a fair assump tion of opinion, and forceful temptations to a mind at all prone to waver to divest itself of every regard to public virtue, are yet totally unworthy to be put down as crimes in the moral calendar, when compared with the conduct of those who take up with one set of principles in theory and adopt another in practice; who entertain peculiar opinions for their private solace, and modifications of those opinions for their public use ; who care little about the pricks and stings of conscience provided they can slumber upon beds of roses ; and, to bring the Whig leprosy now beginning to run in the blood of Tory constituents home to our own doors, who to d a y peti tion the Legislature to continue the disabilities of Catholics, * We repeat our hope that the Editor of The Bury Gazette will fulfil his promise, and publish those Letters together, and we hope also that he will add those of MARCUS, when he con cludes his admirable series.
