It is said that the King of PRUSSIA is ill of the disease called hydlothorax (dropsy of the chest). This disease proceeds slowly in its destructive course, but, at hie age, it must be regarded as attended with danger. The d'ath of the King of PRUSSIA would be, under present ci rcumstances, a fatal event ; the moderation of this Prince is well known, and the accession to the throne of the Princ e Royal, who is well known for his devotion to the syst em of Russia, must occasion a considerable change in t he policy of Europe. ADVANTAGES OF A THICK SKULL.—Last week, a young man fell from the bowsprit of a brig in Arbroath harbour, a height of 40 feet, and pitched on I lia head with such force, that it actually stuck fast in the 'lime, there being only about a foot of water at the time. He was luckily a thick skulled animal ; for, after being ixtricated from his lowly bed, he rolled the quid in his Louth (which he had never quitted) to one side, spat a I lloutlaful or two of blood, gave his face a rub, swore an 64 th, and resumed his business as usual.

A few evenings ago Mr. BROWN, a solicitor, 2"ing in Margaret street, Cavendish-square, went to take Warm bath at the bathing-rooms, No. Oxford %Net The bath was provided, and, after some time had el apsed without his making his appearance to the attend ants, they entered the bathing-room, and discovered him Corps e at the bottom of the bath. It is supposed that " was attacked by sudden indisposition, and was inca pable of quitting the bath or alarming the attendants. WARM COURTSHIP.—A few nights ago, a Pair of lovers at Grindon-moor were left together, the faluily having retired to rest. Two or three hours after *anis, the father of the young woman awoke, and per e!iving a smell of Ore, went down stairs, where he found his 'laughter and the young man siiting before the fire ap- Parently asleep, but enveloped in flames. How the acci dent occurred is unknown, but it is supposed that the par -48 having b een over t a ken by the drowsy god, a spark g evv on the cotton gown of the female, and set it on fire.

TH E WOODEN LEG.—A Lady and her son I, ete standing near me in the church of St. Eustache, Mien the latter, seeing a soldier who bad suffered ampu tation, exclaimed, Oh, mother, do iou see that Gentle. 41 , 1 fu without a leg ?"—" My son," replied the mother, do y ou not perceive that he wears it in his button-bole ?" The soldier was " decorated." PLAN FOR VIE EMPLOYMENT OF TILE LABOUR ING POOR.—On Sunday evening last, a crowd ga thered about the door of the Exhibition-room, No. 67, Fleet -street, invited by a placard stating that Miss Macauley would lecture there that evening. A report was immediately circulated that the lady was a pupil of Carlile's, and intended to preach his exalted doctrine; and Mr. Cope, the City Marshal, finding that a man stood at the door, and asked the people to enter at 2d. a head, entered and told Miss Macauley that it was illegal to cause assemblages of persons under such circumstances. The conse quence was that no lecture took place; but several statements passed from one to the other amongst those collected in the street prejudicial to the lady's character for piety. Yesterday she waited upon the LORD MAYOR for the purpose of disabusing the public mind, and de fending her own character from an imputation so excessively unjust and injurious. She addressed his Lordship in the following manner :—" My Lord, I feel it necessary, for my own credit's sake, to ex onerate myself in the most public manner from any premeditated intention of transgressing the laws of the city, by announcing a Sabbath Evening Lecture; and also to state why I was placed in so painful a situation as to render the interference of the autho rities necessary. Engaged in plans of public use-', fulness, and earnestly desirous to render the little talent and energy which I possess available in the present dreadful state of national distress, I, some few months ago, unguardedly entered into the joint proprietorship of the Rotunda, Blackfriars-road, for the purpose of opening an Exchange La bour Bank, which I firmly believed would be one effectual means of service to the work ing classes. I need not trespass on your Lordship's time, by saying how grievously my hopes have been in that arrangement blighted— suffice it, that the building has now passed into other hands, and without giving me any intimation of the prohibition of my future lectures—without affording me any opportunity of announcing to my auditors that I was about to recede, I was informed last Friday evening, that I must not deliver any , lectures there on Sunday. In this perplexing ex tremity, I gladly accepted the good-natured propo sal of Mr. Checketts for his Exhibition-room, 67, Fleet-street, utterly ignorant that, by so doing, I was acting in opposition to the laws of the city. My lecture was prohibited, on the supposition that it was of a political tendency, and that I was the professed advocate of Mr. Owen's doctrines. 'With out desiring to offer offence to Mr. Owen, or to any one, I think it necessary to state, my Lord, that I advocate no specific doctrines of any kind, that I belong to no party whatever, political or otherwise; lam a visitor to all, but identified with none. I select Sunday evening for my lectures on Infant Education and Domestic Philosophy, because I think the quietude of a day of rest more appro priated to the exercise of mental improvement than any other, and because that, in the truest spirit of true Christianity, I hold it lawful to do good on the Sabbath-day.' The purport of my last Sun day's lecture was on the means of obtaining funds to place some poor destitute labourers on land, which, in conjunction with others, I am now nego tiating for. As I feel it necessary for my own repu tation, as a public character, to state fully and clearly the purport of my intended lecture on sun day last, and also explain to the very uttermost the reasons why I was placed in a situation so painful, riot to cay degrading, I earnestly entreat your Lord ship's permission that I may be permitted to deliver two or three lectures on this subject in the city, on a Sunday evening, if it can be allowed, or if nor, on some other evening next week, by your Lordship's permission, and under your immediate sanction. I solicit this, my Lord, as an act of benevolence, or rather justice, towards the reputation of one fur many years engaged in the public service, and as it may be truly said, a sacrifice in mind, body, and estate to the public cause." The LORD MAYOR had often heard Miss Macaulay lecture on the drama with very great effect, and he was happy to find, from what she had stated, that her object on the present occasion was the benefit of the poor. He could not, however, sanction the lecturing for money in the city of London, as she was not provided with a license, but she might apply for one at the next London Sessions. Miss Macaulay said that one of her chief objects in waiting upon the Lord Mayor was to prove that the last thing she could think of was the violation of the law. She would, of course, bow to the prohibition. ,ans• to ~, ....5. ...4. 2SS' 0 9 * 3OS. 0...-/ 55.2 4 s l 5 0 6 ,s 0 0 0 1. 61 9 4 • 2 5 A 0 6.11. oc i m, ,09• coo' ' 0 is a: le i t! $O,-. 11. r; I I 1 p: „ A tl i ° ...• 1 1 e... r 0 0 5 zPO . elle6 o u eciltjel / lid° re, l e Ile''' cor` lh :O le' 1 1 0' ‘ 11 01 ' 314 J0"94 bir '• t. of 3 co' heir . p. arc h Cl'.

A CAT• STEALER.—A woman named Anne Dolan, was yesterday brought before Mr. HALLS, the sit ting Magistrate, charged with being found in the house of a man named Robert O'Brien, in Steward's rents, Drury-lane, with a felonious intent. The pri soner was on Tuesday night taken into custody by police-sergeant Randall, F, No. 8, in the passage of the house of O'Brien, leading from the street to a back yard. Randall, believing the prisoner to be a cat-stealer from the nauseous effluvia arising from her person, searched the yard, and in the privy found the bodies of four cats divested of their jackets, which were lying in a basket near them. Upon searching her at the station-house he found in her pocket a piece of liver prepared with some mix ture of which cats are very fond. The prisoner, in her defence, had been into the yard of the house for a private purpose, but denied all knowledge of the cats. Mr. HALLS, after animadverting on the cruelty of the prisoner, committed her to the House of Cor rection for three months, as a rogue and vagabond. UNION-HALL. YesterdAy William Lloyd, who described himself as a law-writer, was charged with uttering a forged check at the shop of Mr. Lewi, a linen-draper in Lambeth.—Mr. MURRAY dismissed the charge. Q UEEN- S Q UARE. Yesterday a female of decent appearance, who re fused to give her name, was charged with tendering in payment for some goods a blank 101. note of the Gainsborough Bank, to Mr. Dowden, of the firm of Baker and Dowden, linen-drapers, Eaton -street, Pimlico. John T. Laurie, a shopman to the above-named firm, stated, that the prisoner, on the previous after noon, attended his master's shop, and requested to be shown some print dresses. Af ter i ns pecting several patterns, the prisoner observed that if they would change a ten-pound country note for her, she would become a purchaser. The witness replied he must first look at the note, when the prisoner handed him the note now produced, which he instantly placed in the hands of Mr. Dowden, who, on ascer taining it to be a blank Gainsborough note, and of no value, questioned the young woman as to the manner she became possessed of it. She at first asserted her master and mistress had sent her with it, then that a gentleman gave it her, and ultimately that she found it. In consequence of her prevari cations, Mr. Dowden gave her into custody. Policemen 72, B, who took the prisoner into cus tody, deposed, that he had made some inquiries respecting the prisoner, and had ascertained she re sided in Church-street, Chapel-street, Lisson-grove. The inmates stated, that in consequence of her not having been home all night, they were fearful she had got into trouble respecting the ten-pound note, which the prisoner informed them she had found. She had lived in the service of a gentleman in Mr. WHITE said, the note would for the present remain at the office, for if it was given up to her, it would give her an opportunity of attempting to de ceive some one else. The young woman considered the note to be a good one. Mr. WHITE informed her that it was not worth a farthing, and she left the office. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. THE RECENT EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY AT CROCKFORD'S BAZAAR.—On Monday last a state ment appeared in most of the Daily Papers, detail. ing the circumstances of a robbery, presumed to be committed by some ladies of high respectability, under pretence of purchasing articles at a standing in Crockford's Bazaar, in St. James's-street. The parties were permitted to depart, but their carriage was watched to their residence near Richmond, and in consequence of the circumstance becoming known to the owner of the property purloined, he came yesterday to this office, accompanied by a solicitor, named Carlos, and his own shop-woman, and ap. plied to Messrs. DYEttand CONANT, the sitting Ma gistrates, for a warrant to apprehend the presumed offenders. The solicitor, after detailing the nature of his application, and the grounds upon which he made it, observed that his client felt it his duty to bring this charge forward, in order to have it properly investigated, so that if the offence was established, the rank and station of the offenders should not af ford any protection from punishment. Mr. DYER remarked, that whatever the rank or consequence of the party accused, such circumstaaces ought not to shelter their conduct from inquiry. The Solicitor had heard it stated, if a trades man attempted to institute an inquiry into cases si milar to the present, it was sure to bring ruin upon him ; but his client was determined, whatever the consequences, that public justice should be attained. Margaret Findlay, sworn and examined—l am in the service of Mr. Downes, a jeweller, in Upper High -street, Islington, who has a stand in the St. James's -street, Bazaar, which I superintend. On Friday week, the 9th of November, three ladies, apparently mother and daughters, came into the Bazaar; the two yougest came up stairs to my stand, and one of the young ladies requested to be shown a boa clasp, which, in order to obtain, I was obliged to go to the further end of the stand. I suited them with the article, and while they were making the purchase, the two young ladies requested to be shown a gold seal arid a gold locket, which I gave into their hands to inspect. After they had quitted the counter I missed both those articles, and in order to be quite certain I had not mislaid them, I made a strict search, in which I was assisted by two or three of the Bazaar young ladies, who were informed of the loss. Not being able to find the articles, I went down stairs and saw the young ladies at another jeweller's stand, one of whom I accosted, and re quested to know if the seal and locket had not acci dently stuck to the fringe of their shawls. They complied, and shook their shawls, and afterwards examined thetr reticules at my request, without dis covering anything. Feeling at a loss what course to adopt, I applied to the Inspectress, Mrs. John son, who requested the young ladies would arcom pa:sx ho e up ot.ia a, sho, • eutately did, and in two or three minutes after they came back to my stand, I found the seal and locket placed on some black ornaments which were on the counter. lam quite positive they were not there before the young la dies came up the second time. I was very much agitated at the occurrence; and having stated that I had missed another seal in a few moments after the first discovery, I found it on the other side of the counter. The young ladies were standing close by the places where all the articles were found, at the time when they were brought up stairs the second time. Two officers then came up, one of whom saw one of the young ladies put the last seal on the counter, and who requested that they would walk down stairs. Ido not know what took place with them afterwards, but upon proceeding to count the stock of pins, I missed two of them, which were afterwards shown to me, as having been taken from a pocket behind one of the young ladies by the in spector. All the articles were done up in a parcel, and placed in the hands of Mr. Crockford, jun. I do not know their names, nor did I see their card; I only know they were carriage people. Mr. DYER—Were there any other ladies purchas ing goods at your stand at the time? \\Titnes—The two young ladies were the only customers I had during the day. There was no crowd at all about my stand when they purchased the boa clasp, but there were some persons cer tainly collected, owing to the search which I was making. The Solicitor, in answer to an inquiry from the Magistrate, could not bring forward the evidence of the person who had searched the young ladies, and had found the pins upon them, because he had not been enabled to see Mr. Crockford: for, as this person was his servant, she could not attend without first obtaining his permission. He wished to know if there was any objection to his stating the names of the accused parties. Mr. DYER replied there could be no difficulty about the names. He was not deciding whether the parties were guilty or not guilty—he only sat there to investigate the until. The Solicitor then said the name of the ladies was Turton, and that they resided at East Sheen. Margaret Findlay, on being questioned further, said the elder lady did not come to her stall, and neither of the young ladies made any observation when the seals were found ; she, however, had heard that when they were searched, and the pins found, they had offered to pay for the articles. Clement, an officer of this establishment, was present at the transaction, but did not see the ladies searched, nor did he know that anything beyond the seals had been discovered. He was ordered to fol low them when they entered their equipage, which was a very handsome one, and he then jumped into a cab, and, after he saw them set down at their resi dence in East Sheen, he called and saw the butler, who stated that the ladies resided there. _ . Mr. Downes, the proprietor of the stand, said it was due to him to state that he did not know of the circumstance until yesterday, and therefore he was anxious to disprove publicly the inference con tained in the paragraph which had appeared in the daily papers, that he had compromised what he must consider, if proved, to be a felony. Mr. DYER said Mr. Downes had acted very Pre perly in the case, and but one plain duty as a Magis trate was left to him, and that was, to grant a war rant. The parties then retired into the Clerk's office, and a warrant was made out. The value of the articles stolen was stated to be about three guineas. INFORMATIONS AGAINST PUBLICANS.—A man, named Murray, who has hitherto figured in the character of witness to the notorious Johnson, ap peared at this office yesterday to support two infor mations against publicans, which he had laid on his own account. The. first was against Mr. Jones, landlord of the Red Lion, South-street, for permit ring the game of dominoes to be played in his house. Mr. Jones pleaded guilty to the charge, and alleged, in extenuation, that the game was suffered in oilier public-houses, and he was compelled to allow it, or his customers would leave him. He had, a few weeks back, forbidden the game to be played in his house, and the consequence was that his trade fell off, so that he was obliged to resume the practice, which, however, he was quite willing to prevent, provided others did the same. Mr. DYER, under these circumstances, should inflict only the moderate fine of 10s. and costs. The second information was against Mrs. Draper, landlady of the Horse Grenadier, Oxford -street, for suffering the game of shove-halfpenny to be played on a particular day named in the information, in her tap-room. Murray's witness swore that he saw " shove halfpenny" played by several persons who were in the tap-room, and added, that he had also witnessed another game, called " tiddlywink," played in the same house. Mrs. Draper called two witnesses, who swore that neither" shove-halfpenny" nor " tiddlywink" was suffered in her house; and that, on the day in ques tion, no Rambling whatever occurred in the tap-room. Mr. DYER was satisfied with the evidence for the defendant, and therefore he should dismiss the infor mation. THE ELECTIONS. MIDDLESEX. Yesterday, at two o'clock, a public meeting of the electors of Middlesex was held at the Black Dog Tavern, Bedfont, for the purpose of hearing Mr. flume's political opinions, and adopting mea sures for his re-election. Charles Barclay, Esq., in the chair. The Chairman having briefly stated the object of the meeting, Mr. flume presented himself, and was well received. He took a survey of the course of political events for the last fourteen years, and showed the utter impossibility of continuing the Government of this country under the old system. He had been accused of being a republican ; he was no such thing. His labours all tended to preserve the Constitution, and to restore to the King and people the power which of right belonged to them. He was favourable to the Peerage if they did their duty; but it was not in the nature of things that they should, so long as one of their body remained a pensioner. He was for removing Bishops from the Upper House of Parliament; for abolishing tithes, as the remnant of a barbarous practice, and only known in Spain and Portugal; for putting an end to pluralities, and increasing the salaries of working clergy. He would educate the people, and extend commerce by free trade, especially in corn. After a speech of two hours and a half, the Honourable Gentleman sat down amidst the most enthusiastic cheering. Resolutions of confidence in Mr. Hume, arid a determination to support him, were then proposed, which were opposed by Sir John Gibbon. The Hon. Baronet was, with one other person, the only dissentients present. Mr. Hume then took leave of the electors, and the meet ing dispersed. Yesterday afternoon, a most extraordinary meet ing of the freeholders of Middlesex ' resident in the Tower Hamlets, took place in the Court-house, in Osborne -street, Whitechapel. The meeting was convened by circular, and it was at first proposed, that none should be admitted who did not produce these letters of invitation at the doors. The High Constable of the Tower Hamlets was apprised of this regulation by Lord Henley's Committee, but not deeming himself authorized to .nodartake _the periormance of their orders, he applied to the ma gistrates of Lambeth-street for advice, and their opinion was, that he had no right to prevent any person from entering a public election meeting, and on their advice he acted. There was, however, a large party of police in disguise, under the command of a superintendent and inspector, also in coloured clothes, in and about the purlieus of the Court. No attempt, however, was made to exclude any person until a few minutes after the proceedings com menced, when one of the gentlemen of Lord Hen ley's Committee went and desired the police to shut and fasten the front doors. The High Con stable immediately interfered, and said that he could not, consistently with his duty, shut out the electors, but he was in attendance with a posse of local con stables to interfere, in case of a breach of the peace. The doors were then suffered to remain open. A placard was exhibited by men before the Court house, describing the meeting to be a hole-and corner one, and calling upon the electors to " attend and show Lord Henley that the county was not to be represented by a Tory, and, above all, by a Tory of the worst stump, appearing in the garb of a Reformer." Sir W. H. RICHARDSON, having been called to the Chair, observed that Lord Henley attended to explain his political views, and to answer any (Mo tion put to him; but his Lordship would give no pledges.—(A burst of hisses, hootings, and cries of " Off, off.") At all events he (the Chairman) had no hesitation in saying he would not support the man who would so far commit himself as to give pledges.—(Hisses and groans.) He felt very strongly on this new-fangled doctrine of pledging.— (Loud c.ies of " Off, off.") After a considerable pause, during which tke Chairman was repeatedly assailed with cries of " Off," he said, if they did not choose to hear him, he would adjourn the meet ing at once. Great confusion ensued. At length, Lord HENLEY came forward, and was saluted with partial cheering, and cries of " Off." Lord Henley proceeded to address the meeting. Every candidate, he said, should give clear and straight• forward statements of his opinions upon all matters likely to come under consideration in the next Par liament ; but in the front of his address lie would state that he would not offer any pledge, and the only pledge his friends demanded of him was found in the security of his private character, and the manner of his discharging his public du ties. His friends knew he was a person of no violent opinions upon any of those public mat ters which would hereafter come under the consi deration of Parliament. He was prepared for censure and opposition, though his success in canvassing had exceeded his most sanguine ex pectations.—(Much laughter.) He would re peat that, and, if it was not true, let those contra dict it who could.—(Hisses and applause.) He was no party man ; he was neither the supporter of this or any other Administration.—(Hear.) He then proceeded to declare himself in favour of the total abolition of West India slavery; but he would not support any measures which might be unjust to any party, nor would he further any measures which were at all calculated to involve anarchy, bloodshed, and misery.—(Cries of " Leave that, arid speak about your pension, and the pensions of your fa intly?') lie did not know what pension they meant. — (Laughter.) As for the pensions of himself and all his family. he would sell them all for a shilling , and h e s h ou ld be glad to know which gentleman was the purchaser.—(Laughter and applause.) None of his family had any pension at all. He, however, held a situation as Master in Chancery, an office which was very necessary for the proper despatch of business, and a very onerous arid la borious one, arid requiring to be filled by men of good sense and experience. The Master in Chan cery had long been desirous of being paid a specific salary, instead of collecting fees, and the Noble Lout at the head of the Chancery Court had laid a plan of reform upon the table of the House of Commons, which, in the next Ses sion, would decide whether the Masters were over paid or not. It was not a situation which would allow men to be idle; if they were guilty of idlr ness there would be a paragraph in the papers the next day to bring them to their duty again.-- (Hear, and laughter.) But was there anything in this office which disqualified a man from doing the duty of a Member of Parliament ?—(Cries of " Yes" and " No.") Sir William Scott, Sir John Nicoll, Dr. Lushington, and W. Brougham, were all law yers, and they had not been thought unfit Mem bers.—(Hear, hear.) He could not see why a man occupied officially in the morning could not be a fit advocate of the rights of the people in the evening. There was one pledge he would give that he would not for any reason neglect his Par liamentary duties.—(Laughter.) He then adverted to tithes and Church rates, and considered a national establishment not only scripturally lawful but abso lutely necessary.—(Hisses.) If the whole nation were composed of one populous city, men might at tend their religious duties easily, but in this agri. cultural land hundreds of persons would be left without religious instruction if there was no Esta blished Church.—(Cries of " No," and hisses.) He did not come to enter into a theological dis cussion, but he was of opinion that poor people could not be happy without religion.—(Confu- Sion.) Poor people could not afford to pay the ministers of religion, and, therefore, they must be paid for them.—(Laughter, and cries of, "They do pay, and too dearly.") But how should t hey be paid ? Tithes was an objectionable mode of payment ; it alienated the minds of those who paid from those who received them. It also impeded the progress of agricultural improvement. What then was to be done? Whose property was the tithes ? Not of the farmer, nor of the landholder, but of the Church.—(Confusion; "It is the pro perty of the nation.") How did the nation acquire that property? The origin of the tithes was with the ancient Nobles, who endowed monasteries and other ecclesiastical establishments, and devoted a tenth of the rents of their lands to support the clergy, in order that themselves and their families, and their poor neighbours, might enjoy the benefits of religious instruction—(Laughter and uproar.) (Lord Henley was now inaudible for some time, but an observation was generally heard, " That he had no doubt of the legal right of the clergy to tithes," and this increased the uproar, which only subsided on Lord Henley resuming his seat.] Mr. COATES moved a resolution to this effect : " That this meeting is of opinion that any opposition to the reelection of Mr. Hume is uncalled for, and is in the highest degree injurious to the public cause ; and it is fur ther of opinion that Lord Henley should be recommended, and be is hereby recommended, to withdraw from the canvass."—(Loud and continued cheering.) The motion having been seconded, the Chair man showed no disposition to put the question, al though repeatedly called upon to do so. At length Mr. STOCK told the meeting that the Chairman had positively refused to put the motion. Air. LAWRENCE asked Lord Henley if that was true ? His Lordship turned on his heel, and went out of the door. The Chairman followed him in a few minutes, amidst demonstrations of indignation from the assembly. Mr. COATES then called upon the meeting to show that, though his Lordship was ignorant of the rules of good order and freedom, they were not. — (Hear and cheers.) He concluded by moving GEO. OFFER, Esq ,into the Chair, which was seconded by th,_ 3 r. OFFER, after a few prefatory remat►cs, put the motion, which was adopted without a single dissentient, and followed by loud cheers. Thanks were than voted to the Chairman; and the meeting, having given three cheers for Mr. Hume and freedom of election, separated. On Tuesday evening a meeting of electors and inhabitants of Kensington took place, at six o'clock, at the Star and Garter, where they had invited Sir John Scott Lillie,one of the candidates, to meet them. Mr. BROWN, late Member for Heydon, was called to the chair. Sir JOHN SCOTT LILLIE, in presenting himself, 'was received with considerable approbation. He informed the meeting, that he did not aspire to have any pretensions to the honour of being one of their representatives; neither was he disposed to do so in compliance with a requisition he had received, however numerously and respectably signed by his neighbours and brother Magistrates, until he had ascertained by resolutions passed at pub lic meetings held in the metropolis, at Uxbridge, and other parts of the county, that a fourth candidate had been generally demanded.— (Cheers.) The Gallant Candidate then referred to the purport of the resolutions passed at the public meetings to which he alluded, " that the electors viewed with alarm and indignation the attempts made to have this country represented in a reformed Parliament by Members opposed to cer tain legitimate measures of vital importance to their interests, or by two Members differing in opinion with each other with respect to such measures, thus neutralizing their respective votes, and compro mising that weight and influence which the metro politan county ought to possess. The measures so loudly demanded were, a property tax upon the wealthy classes, as a substitute for the Assessed Taxes; either the abolition of tithes, or the resti tution of that portion of them to the poor which had, by the wisdom of our ancestors, been ori ginally appropriated for that purpose; the insuring the benefit of freedom of election by the vote by ballot, and by triennial Parliaments." The first of these propositions, he said, he approved, because he considered that a direct tax upon wealth was the most efficacious financial resource for sustaining credit, without trespassing upon the necessities of the in dustrious and labouring classes ; and its principle was one that should regulate all descriptions of taxation—namely, that of making the means of each individual the measure of his contributions towards the exigencies of the State. With respect to tithes, he said a different mode of providing for the clergy would, in his opinion, be productive of the double advantage of increasing the respect for religion, and of relieving the middle and lower orders from a tax upon industry of a most obnoxious and onerous na ture. With respect to the Vote by Ballot, he would not hesitate in acknowledging his appro bation of the measure. The experience he had acquired in the exercise of the g : atuitous duties of a Magistrate and a Commis-ioner of Assessed Taxes in the different parishes of Kensing ton division for several years past, confirmed his opinion as to the inability of the middle and lower orders to continue much longer under the existing system, without reducing many families, heretofore in a comparative state of independence, to absolute pauperism. He should not trespass longer on their time, as he had another meeting in an adjoining parish to attend that night, and thanked the Chair man for the manner in which his name had been mentioned by him, and the meeting for the patient hearing they had given him.—(Great and conti nued applause.) Mr. LEIGIIT then addressed the meeting, and described the success with which Sir John Scott Lillie's proposal of offering himself as candidate for the county was received at Breatford, Staines, Twickenhem, and Hounslow ; at which places (Mr. L.) stated that a strong excitement existed in Mr. LENTHALL, as Chairman of the Central Com mittee for promoting the return of Sir J. Lillie, in formed the meeting, on behalf of the Committee, that, however indifferent the electors might be to any contemplated or existing coalition in the privat interests of the candidates, yet that nothing can more materially concern them than the well-known concurrence of sentiment of two of the candidates on those essential measures specified in the resolutions already alluded to—measures to which the other two (Mr. Byng and Lord Henley) are directly and avowedly opposed. The Committee hope the re sult of the present canvass will demonstrate the publicity of the system of corruption, and that here after electors, truly alive to their own interests, will reverse the practice, and canvass their candidates. ff electors will ►tot peacefully and constitutionally re lieve themselves from the numerous exactions under which they groan in the shape of tithes, accessed taxes, and remove the due proportion of the burden to the shoulders of the wealthier classes., 'hey merit a continuation of that degradation and distrust which have been hitherto inflicted upon hem by the iniquitous enactments of nomination Parliaments. Resolutions were passed unanimously, approving and confirming the resolutions of the former meet ings adverted to ; thanks were voted to the Chair man. Local Committees were then appointed, and names of subscribers entered. Sir J. S. LILLIE then proceeded to the Goat and Boots, at Chelsea, where Mr. Hume had met the electors on the preceding evening, and where a nu merous meeting assembled—Mr. Fitzgerald (a court (3,- Magistrate and Deputy-Lieutenant) in the chair, where the proceedings were of a similar nature. Mr. LENTHALL, bc;ng a rcAtiont Ma ct isitrat o i i 4 that parish, having added, in verification of the Gal -1 int Candidate's observation as to the increasing burden of poor•rates, tithes, &c., that he had signed but the day before 463 summonses addressed to in dividuals of that parish, to show cause why they could not pay the same, and he understood there were about 750 more still to be signed for the same purpose—this statement created a great impression on the meeting; at the conclusion of which, at a very late hour, three cheers were given for the can didates and for real Reform, instead of the mockery attempted to be imposed upon them by the two ad verse candidates, Byng and Henley. The meeting then separated. BOSTON.—The troops of Hussars stationed in Boston have received their instructions on the sub ject of the course they will have to take at the approaching election, viz., that they will be placed ,%ithin a convenient distance, which they are to name and report on; but it must not be at any polling place. It is supposed that the troop will remove to Kirton and Sutterton on the occasion.— Boston Herald. BURY.—The result of the revision has, it is said, been triumphantly favourable to the reformers." DERBY.—A correspondent gives the following account of an attack made upon Sir Roger Gresley ;old friends :—" S'r Roger Gresley, having been invited to a public dinner by his Committee and friends, on Monday last, at the King's Arms Hotel, at least 150 of the gentlemen of the county and re spectable yeomen in and near Derby, assembled to meet him at the entrance to Derby. A great con eourse of people collected to witness the procession, arid, upon Sir Roger's entrance into the town, his party was assailed by brickbats, stones, and other missiles, as they passed the corners of various streets, and this continued until they reached the market-place. The procession was moving quietly along, when, at least, five or six thousand persons had assembled;—they showed increased violence, and attempted to pull down the banner with " Purity of Election " written upon it. Stones and brickbats were hurled at Sir Roger and his friends in all directions. Godfrey .Meynell, Esq., a Magis trate for the county, received a violent blow, and his horse was knocked down by a brickbat. Edward men, were struck with brickbats, knocked off their horses, and much injured; Sir Roger Gresey was struck in the face with a stone, and Colonel Craw ford struck upon the head with a brickbat, and con siderably injured. Sir Roger Gresley's friends inade a rally, and dispersed for a time the vagabonds who had assailed them, and reached the county hotel without any very serious injury." KENT.—The Conservatives of West Kent, after an effective struggle, have struck their co lours, so that the return of the Reforming Mem bers, Messrs. Hodges and Rider, is considered per fectly secure. In East Kent the contest appears to be carried on with unexampled intensity by the Anti-Reforming aristocracy, who, having had their sly and underhand projects defeated in the west, are trying their strength—in conjunc'ion with the % in chil-eas, the Guildfords, the Camdens, and the Pre bendaries of Canterbury—in the eastern quarter of the county, and indulge in the hope of ousting Sir W. Cosway, and an equally staunch Reformer, Mr. Piumptre. Sir E. Knatchbull, and his companion, Sir E. Deering, stand no chance of success.— Morning Paper. LANCASHIRE (Sourit).—The requisition to Sir Thomas Hesketh has been found to lag terribly. Indeed it may be regarded as having proved a com plete failure. Lord Molyneux and Mr. Wood hive received such general promises of support, that it is not expected there will be any opposltion to their return for the southern division of the county. LIVERPOOL.—A meeting of the requisitors and friends of Mr. Thornely was held on Monday at the Liverpool Theatre, to adopt the best method of se curing the election of that gentleman as one of the representatives of Liverpool. The building, which will hold 2,000 persons, was crammed to excess, and several hundreds of persons were compelled to retire, being unable to obtain admission. It is quite impossible for us to give any idea of the zeal and enthusiasm which prevailed, or of the bursts of ap aoi, explained the p r i nc i p l es ap plause with which the names of Mr. Thornely and of Mr. William Ewart were received. The cheer s for Mr. Thornely and Mr. Evart, at the clos e o f the proceedings, could only be surpassed in zeal and heartiness by the groans and hisses with which every mention of Lord Sandon's name was received. —Liverpool Times. SUFFOLK (EAsT).—A requisition to Lord Hen niker and Sir Charles Vere is in progress, calling on t hem to offer themselves for East Suffolk. The .number of voters registered for the division is Quaker-street . C aptain rYaatt, was held at t h e 4,2s9.—Norwich East Anglian. TOWER HAMLETS.— A meeting of the electors of this borough, residing in Spita lfi e lds, f avourable to butti‘hiea National rdy r e eac t t u it i, r o n ed o tc f hsgoo C iomvi a -i : D r o g pledges. A r e s o l ut i on to t h e Captain leng th, upon which he sought the suffrages of the e l ec t ors , effect that Captain Marryatt was a fit person to re present the borough in Parliament was unanimously adopted. VVESTMINSTER.-At a meeting on Tuesday even ing of the St. James's Parochial Association, the expected contest for the city of Westminster having become a subject of conversation, a resolution to support the return of Sir John Hobhouse with Sir Francis Burdett with their utmost exertions was, after an animated discussion, carried with only one dissenting voice, in the most numerous assemblage of members that has occurred, consid era bl y more than 90 qualified electors being present. IRELAND. CORK.—Lord Bernard has been invited by the Cork Conservatives to stand for that county, and accepted the invitation. • GALWAY.—For the county of Galway there are several candidates in the field—Mr. Blake Foster, Repealer; Mr. James Daly, Conservat ye; :sir John Burke, present Member, Reformer, and Mr,
