'TWILL BE ALL THE SANE A HUNDRED YEARS HENCE.— " This " as Sterne says, " I deny," founded upon the following brief but well accredited fact of a former period. In the reign of George 1., about 120 years since, General Oglethorp was in vited to dine with a cabinet minister, at eleven o'clock on the fallowing day. The general could not go, and sent his excuse, being engaged, as be said, to shoot snipe the neat morning at Ma rylebone. Piles-dice, Dee. 6, 183.3. NG of the PILOT COMMITTEE, held following letter was read:— [embers of the Pilots' Committee: "he exemplary conduct displayed by a few !e :late severe gale, and the successful to rescue some of the Pilots from a situa- ..Al, on Friday last, when their boat was cast aore, ought to be made known to your Cum- Mt!Axil. "Mr. Sumner, the village surgeon, was indefatigable in his benevolent exertions; he promptly procured a bottle of spirits, which he attached to his neck, and, when the tide had partially receded, finding that no boat could still approach the distressed Pilots, he cast off his clothes, and boldly committed himself to the waves, and by perseverance he reached the Pilot vessel, where he found some of the crew nearly exhausted; he admi nistered the cordial with judgment, and afterwards he assisted in bringing the poor sufferers on shore; when they were safely landed, his skill was exerted to the uttermost to revive and cherish them. This is not the first instance in which he has hazarded his` personal safety to preserve the lives of shipwrecked mariners. As a token of your approbation, and an encourage ment to others to imitate his praiseworthy example, a beneficial memorial might deservedly be bestowed on this humane charac ter, who is the parent and sole supporter of a numerous family. "A few persons of an humbler class of life deserve their meed of praise and reward for laudable exertions. One man, named Wm. Formby, rescued two sinking Pilots from a watery grave, whilst the tide drifted them in an almost lifeless state; S and Robert Kershaw succeeded in saving the life of a third, Who, from complete exhaustion, was unable to raise himself from the waves and surf, when by long continued efforts he had nearly gained the beach.-1 am, gentlemen, your obedient rvant, "Dec. 2, 1833.

INDEPENDENT I'AUPERS.—Several paupers who had been sent to work at the grounds of Mr. Waddington, at Syttenham, in Kent, having returned to their parishes and complained of the fare and treatment there, the Lord Mayor sent for the gentle man who was to have given them etreployment, and entered upon an investigation into the merits of the complaint. A number of the paupers, who have been,for a series of years living upon the parochial funds, were in attendance, and the scene was al together a most extraordinary one. One of the paupers said, Please you, my Lord, the beer is very queer, for Mr. Wadding ton gives it so heavy a dash of Adam's ale, that, saving your presence, it isn't worth a tinker's d—n. The Lord Mayor: How is the bread ?—Pauper : No great shakes ; but it would be better if there was more of it. But my Lord, the place we sleeps in was an old stable, and there's ever so many rats about, aye and mice too. The Lord Mayor: But it is easy to get rid of companions of that kind. Pauper : Not at all, my Lord, they won't go; they gets up into the ticken of our beds, and they kicks up such a rumpus that none of us can sleep a wink. I'm blessed if ever there was anything like it. (Great laugh ter.) Another pauper : Please you, my Lord, a body might sleep in spite of the rats, but we Inent got nothing over us bar ring a bit of a rug, when we shoves our bodies into bed. (Laugh ter.) Please you, my Lord, the fleas is so hungry, in country places, that they tear the flesh off your back. (Great laughter.) But that a'nt all, fur I'm blowed if the other warmint don't make us tear ourselves. (Laughter.) A third pauper: My Lord, there's no wirtue at all in the place. One of the boys robbed me of my loaf the first day I went. The Lord Mayor: How do you like the work? Pauper: It's too hard, please you, my Lord. You're expected to dig half a mile afore you gets your wittles. Mr. Booker, one of the Bishopsgate officers, said that the persons who had just complained were the most idle fellows iu the whole parish. They came home from Sydenham at four o'clock in the morning, half drunk, with pipes in their mouths, and knocked him up, and, when he refused to give them money, they threatened to go and rattle up the Lord Mayor, to give them justice. Mr. Waddington produced several wit nesses, who declared that the establishment was most admira bly conducted, that the food was good and plentiful, and that the labour was by no means hard. One of these residents stated that he had a parish within a mile and a half, which, if he pleased, would relieve him; but he greatly preferred the agricultural institution of Mr. Waddington. \Vhen asked whether there was any truth in the assertions of the complain ants, he declared that the whole meaning of the business was that they didn't like work. Mr. Waddington handed the fol lowing list of regulations to the Lord Mayor:—Food : The men who are admitted , into this institution are allowed the following rations of food, viz., coffee and bread in the morning, one quar ter of a pound of bacon to dinner or an equivalent in beef or mutton, with broth, bread, and potatotes; one pint of good beer, or coffee and bread at night. The allowance of bread is two pounds per day. Labour: Each person who can labour well on land or at some useful trade, is required to work six hours per day, and those who have not been accustomed to such la bour arc required to work seven hours per day, until they can perform sufficient work in less time. Additional rewards : Per sons working over time are rewarded for the time with addi tional articles of food, after the rate of two pennyworth per hour. No person is allowed overtime who does not perform a reasonable portion of work in his appointed time, and persons continuing to neglect their work or behaving improperly will be dismissed. Location on Land: Persons of good character, and industrious habits, will ultimately be presented with an opportunity of being located on land on their own account, and possess the means of becoming independent of public charity or parochial aid. The Lord Mayor, after having made the most scrupulous inquiries into the nature and conduct of the institu tion, expressed his decided approbation of the plan, and said that he should recommend it to general adoption. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. HUDDERSFIELD ELECTION. (From the Ifalifitx Guardian.) The two candidates whom we mentioned last week as proba ble to contest this borough, Messrs. Sadler and Blackburne, are now fairly in the field. The latter arrived in Huddersfield about noon, on Monday last ; and after consulting his committee, at the Rose and Crown, and taking refreshments, proceeded to Duighton and the neighbourhood to see the electors there, whom he addressed at a place called Muck limn. This somewhat awkwardly named place he then left, to spend the remainder of the day in consul tation with some of his friends, by whose sage counsel and elevating libations he was probably powerfully refreshed after his labours. The supporters of Mr. Sadler had sent off a numerous depu tation to Leeds in the morning of Monday ; and about half past eight in the evening that gentleman arrived, and proceeded to address a largo assemblage of electors and others from the George Inn. llis speech on this occasion was of a general nature, and was not intended as a detail of his political creed, but enough to show the people that he was actually in the field. The principal topics he alluded to were, Poor Laws in Ireland, Freedom of Election, the Factory Bill, and Free Trade. On the last subject he said, I am an advocate for Free Trade, in the proper acceptation of the word, that is Reciprocity. Ido not object to the rich wines of France, which sparkle on our boards, and impart pleasure and vivacity to our feelings, but I would have an advantageous exchange for them. I would have the Yorkshire clothier encouraged by France to exchange the fabrics of his skill and industry for them. He was repeatedly and loudly cheered, both by the crowd of gentlemen who thronged the long room from which he spoke, and also by the multitude in the market-place below; and was very little inter rupted except by an ultra-Whig, who had collected a small band to support his laudable efforts to prevent Mr. Sadler hav ing a fair hearing. The man in question is well known for his violent conduct in political matters connected with the town of Huddersfield, though he is not an elector, or even a resident in the borough, and yet one whose station in life ought to induce him to pursue a more decorous line of conduct. Happily his strenuous endeavours to introduce discord were futile, as the im pression in Mr. Sadler's favour was decided. We are happy to add that every day since has increased the esteem, we would almost say affection, of the electors towards him; nor, indeed, could it be otherwise towards a man whose every word and action speaks kindness and benevolence to his fellow-creatures. Well would it be for this country and the world at large if men so talented and philanthropic were more abundant. On Tuesday, each of the candidates addressed the electors and inhabitants of this place. We are unable to transcribe into the columns of THE LIVER -POOL STANDARD any very lengthened extracts from the speeches of the honourable candidates. That of Mr. Blackburn has the merit of parrying with extraordinary adroitness all the awkward questions put to him by the electors, and of procuring somethin,g like a hearing, which they were at first indisposed to Towards the close of his address, a person in the crowd asked what he meant by the people ? "Every person who lives witkfn the realm, be he native or stranger, is one of the people; an for his happiness —nay, for the happiness of the whole globe, do 1 wish. And my endeavours shall be to improve and promote the happiness of the whole people, from the king to the lowest in the realm. (Cheers—" Whiggery.") And if that be Whiggery, Whiggery, Whiggery, then I am a Whig. (Laughter.) [Here something was said about the charges against Mr. B.] Read not all the trashy libels on the walls, and do not assume that a man of whom you never knew a dis honest thing is now going to be a treacherous knave. Mr. Blackburn's concluding remarks were much interrupted by hissing and other noises. He thanked the friends around for the kindness with which they had heard him; and also Mr. Pitkethley for the questions which that gentleman had put to him. At three o'clock in the afternoon Mr. Sadler addressed the electors and others from his committee-room window, at the George Inn. After a few words of introduction from John Whitacre, Esq., Mr. Sadler spoke to the following purport:—Gentlemen,— friends,—countrymen, I come before you at the earnest request of a number of the most respectable inhabitants of this place, who wish to extend and secure the free representation of Hud dersfield. I have no other object; my prospects elsewhere are brightening every hour; I am assured of success at Leeds. But, called upon by the earnest entreaties of so many friends of mine and yours, and having the sanction of him who has al ready contended for the independence of Huddersfield, I could not decline the contest, and I hope for a successful issue. (Cheers.) It has been remarked that I come here, invited by an unnatural union. Gentlemen, there is a uniou—l rejoice in it—l glory in it. Do you suppose that I would venture to come forward if my object were to represent only one set of politicians? What I wish to see is a real union of all classes of society—to see people of all denominations set ting their shoulders together, like men and Englishmen, to secure and advance the happiness and prosperity of all. I wish to see the people united, not for party views and objects, but in order that each man may recognise, in every one of his fellow men, a friend and brother. If I go to Parliament, my first object will be what a great writer has said ought to be almost the exclusive object of the legislature—to protect the unprotected, defend the defenceless, and support the rights of - the poor. (Loud cheers.) If I represent you, my friends, I shall hold you as the most sacred part of my constituency, though a pretended reform bill has wholly disregarded you and passed you over. I shall hold it my especial duty to attend to the interests of the class that has been left out of the scheme of modern reform. I opposed that bill; and you know what has consequently been said to the disparagement of my character, both public-and private. I wish that those friends, to whom my sentiments and motives have always been most open, were ca techised ever so strictly respecting my views. It would be found that I had nothing to conceal, nor any personal object whatever. (Great applause.) In opposing the reform bill, to what did I object? 'I o its gross partiality. When our ancient constitution was taken to pieces for the purpose of being re modelled, I hoped that this would be done according to the same fair principle. But what think you of a pretended cry against the close borough system ? I tell you again that the re form bill is grossly partial; and I appeal to every fair English man present if this is not a tangible objection. If the nomina tion system is to be done away with, do not you suppose that the reform should be on principles of equity ? But Peterborouh and other Whig nomination boroughs have been retained; and attempts have been made to create others of the same kind. If Huddersfield do not turn out to be a nomination bo rough, it will be through the exertions of Mr. Wood at the last election, of the humble individual who now stands before you, and of others who may hereafter come among you.— If it is otheru ice, your boasted representation will be a mockery, when contrasted with the high-sounding language of those who, with reform in their mouths, have corruption in their hearts. (Great cheering.) Gentlemen, there is another objection to this scheme of reform. Even the old constitution gave a vote to every man above the situation of a pauper ;—such was the case in many places,—Westminster, Preston, 82c. The poorer classes might not be sufficiently represented, but still they were represented. But now, every man who does not live in a ten-pound house is driven entirely out of political existence. A new race is created, like the helots or slaves of ancient Greece, whose labour produces the wealth, and whose arms fight the battles of their country, but who, in a political view, are not even counted, ten thousand of them having not among them a single vote. Gentlemen, the great talkers afloat, whose profession it is (I am not alluding to any individual) to make the worse appear the better side—who are bred to plead in behalf of any cause, no matter what, provided they have money down,—(cheers and laughter)—such as these may recommend a measure, the object of which is to give perpetuity to a party, the leaders of which, out of office, have been patriots, in office, rapacious tyrants. My sentiments, gentlemen, are those of Sydney and the other martyrs in the cause of English liberty, who gloried in their efforts and sufferings in support of the rights of the people." There seems to be little or no doubt of the return of Mr. Sadler for this borough. The election is expected to take place about the 30th instant. BLACK, WHITE, AND WHITEY-BROWN LIBERTY. The following pieces of intelligence from two of the shrines of freedom most frequently referred to by the admirers of Black, White and Whitey-Brown liberty, are somewharamus- WurrE.—Washington and Philadelphia papers have been received up to the 15th ult. We find them complaining that in Georgia nullification had again shown its cloven foot, inasmuch as Mr. Cooper, of Putman, on the Clerk of the House of Re presentatives reading "At an annual session, &c., in the year of our Lord, &c., and of the sovereignty and independence of the United States, &c.," moved to strike out the word " sove reignty." This word was in the usual form. "Mr. Cooper's motion," says the journalist, "was put down by an overwhelm ing majority, but had supporters enough to show that the nul lifiers are determined that the United States shall not be sove reign; that each State is to stand sovereign and supreme upon her own basis. This motion, and the support that it received, show clearly the spirit that the nullifiers have brought into the legislature, and that the utmost vigilance and the most determined patriotism are required to keep down its turbulent and disor ganising eibrts." BLACK.—Port-au-Prince, Haiti, October 4th, 1833.—The sessions cf the Chambre des Representans of Haiti termi nated on the 9th ult. The most remarkable feature in the ses sion has been the expulsion of two members of the Chambres des Representans (named Herard Deunelle and David St. Preue)firr systematically opposing the measures of the executive, and more especially for persisting in demanding a statement of the public expenditure. WurrEy-BnowN.—Captain Chretin, of the ship Jeune Er nest, just. arrived at Havre from Charleston, has addressed a letter to a French paper, one paragraph in which ma y be of use to captains of vessels to the southern ports of the IJnion : "On my arrival at Charleston," says Captain Chretin, "a free man of colour, whom 1 had taken on board at Bordeaux, was arrested by the police. My applications to the authorities for his release were to no purpose. The American law forbids free people of colour from entering the southern states, and this law is as rigorously enforced with respect to foreign as to native ships; the seaman was therefore detained in prison at my expense up to the time of our departure. The motive of these severe pre cautions against emigrant free blacks is to be found in the fear of the planters that they may endeavour to exeitu dissatisfaction and disturbance amongst the slaves. SUBTETIR ANEOUS SVEAKING TRUMPET.—Messrs. Johard and Stieldorff have recently obtained from the Belgian government a patent for a newiy-invented instrument called a logophore, (or word-bearer,) by means of which, it is said that a verbal cor respondence may be carried on from one place to another, how ever distant. A practical application of this ingenious inven tion is to be immediately made between Brussels and Antwerp, by means of subterranean pipes, which will transmit words ut tered by the voice from place to place, at the distance of two miles. - 'Thus in less than a quarter of an hour a question may be asked and answered between the two towns above mentioned. A loeophore will likewise be established between Brussels . and the l'idace at Lacken. The expense will not exceed 15,000 or 20,000 francs. We presume that the chances of treachery and deception by the querist and respondent have been duly weighed in the application of this invention. STATF. OF TRADE IN PAISLEY.—We have never had the sa tisfaction of noticing the trade of Paisley in a more flourishing state than at present. During the last four months, the plain middled shawls of various descriptions, with sewed-on-borders, have given place entirely to others of rich and expensive de scriptions, figured all over, and finished in the loom. Indeed, the plain work of almost every description has been on the de cline for some time past, and those workinen.who are unwilling to change from it, are obtaining labour with considerable diffi culty; but harness work, in great variety, is readily obtained, and is gradually extending still farther over the country. This alteration in the nature of the work has been seriously felt by those engaged in several departments, though to the great por tion of the population it has proved 11; , -;ly beneficial. the shawl sewers, in particular, have suffer'e'd Severely, and the greater part of them have been obliged to turn their hand to something else. In the light silk line the same briskness has not prevailed that is usual at the season, owing entirely to the late advance in the price of the material, but even in that branch trade cannot be considered bad.—Glavott• Chronicle. TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 17, 1833. It is, we believe, settled that the Marquis of &too is to succeed Lord MULGRAVE in the governorship of Ja: maica. This change is to take place forthwith. By the Mary Bibby we have received advices from Bombay to the 11th August. The markets had improved a little for some articles of European import : still much depression existed in most kinds of British goods,. from which they can only be expected to recover gradually. The continued want of rain to the northward is much complained of; and in many districts, by latest advices, the seed had not been put into the ground. If this con tinues another month, the consequences will be most se rious to the cotton as well as grain crops. Many holders of cotton will not sell at present ; and some descriptions of grain have risen from 50 to 100 per cent. within the last ten days in the bazaar. The cotton exported to Great Britain and China, from the Ist January to the 3d August of the present year, is as follows : Whole Bales. Half Bales To London, Liverpool, and Greenock-60,903 1,7491 To China 118,499 3,354 179,402 5,103} By the barque Sylph, lately arrived at Calcutta, (after a tedious though prosperous voyage to the N. E. coast of China, where it is said she experienced every facility in disposing of a cargo of opium, getting Sycee silver in re turn,) accounts from Canton had been received at Bom bay to the 21st May. Patna opium had fallen from 670 to 655 dollars per chest ; which, however, would seem to have arisen more from want of information as to the ac tual quantity going on from Calcutta than to any slack ness in the demand for the article. The stock on hand was from 12 to 1400 chests. Of 'Malwa opium the stock was exceedingly small—not much beyond 300 chests ; the price, notwithstanding, had also fallen from 650 to 620 dollars per chest, at which rate it remained firm. The following is a statement of the quantity, and total value of Indian opium in Spanish dollars, consumed in China during the last s x years : S EASON.

Stephen Odom, Susan his wife, and Rebecca his daughter, were indicted for assaulting William Beubow, of radical no toriety. The case excited great mirth in court. Mr. Prendergast conducted the prosecution, and Mr. C. Phillips the defence. Mr. Phillips, observing that the officer of the court was about to swear the prosecutor, requested that might not be done at present. Mr. Prendergast.—For what reason ? Mr. Phillips.—That you will know presently. Mr. Prendergast.—lt is a very improper course. The learn ed counsel having stated the case, called the prosecutor. Mr. Phillips.—Upon what book are T ou about to be sworn ? Benbow.—l presume it is the New 'I estament. Mr. Phillips.—Do you believe in the doctrines of that book? Benbow.—Yes, sir, perfectly; as much as you do, I believe. Mr. Phillips.—And in a future state? Benbow.-1 do, most decidedly. Mr. Prendergast.—And always did ? Benbow.—Yes, always did. The prosecutor Benbow having detailed the particulars, was then cross-examined by Mr. Phillips.—What are you?—Wit ness : Do you want a particular and full account of me 3—What is your business ?—I am a bookseller. I have often sold the Loves Celestial and St. Rubin.—Have you ever been in prison? —Yes, I _was confined by the Constitutional Association, and never brought to trial. I was tried in this court, and employed you to defend me.—Were you ever imprisoned on any other occasion ?—I think not.—Never?—Oh, I beg pardon; I was confined under the suspension of the Habeas Corpus act, in 1817. I was once brought up for judgment, when I employed vou.—Was it not for selling an indecent publication ?—Why, the Society for the Suppression of Vice called it so, but the jury acquitted me ; I was found guilty in the Court of King's Bench. The building in Theobald's-road was used as a lecture rooom. I have lectured in it many times, and so has Robert Owen and Robert Taylor. I agreed with Mr. Hinton to take the premises, but I did not sign the agreement, because I had not £2O to pay as a deposit. I did not lodge a complaint before a magistrate until a week after the affair. I applied for a war rant for three parties, •but made no charge against the females, as my solicitor told me they must come to the court, and then it would be time enough to put them into the dock.—Did you not purposely keep back any charge against the women ?—No, no, no. I told Mr. Laing and Sergeant Sellon what the women dill.—l shall make you recollect what you swore.—Make haste, then, you are a long time about it. (Laughing.)—This is no laughing matter, Mr. Benbow. Did not you swear your attor ney advised you not to make a charge against the women ?—lf I sc.id so, I did not mean to say so. (Laughter.) I did not ask for a warrant against the women.—Did that " material" you had in your hand happen to be a piece of wood studded with tenpenny nails?—No.—What did you take it up for ?—Upon my word I don't know ; for self defence, I suppose. I did not wave it over my head. I did not twist the daughter's hair round my arm. I did not take a broker to the premises • but I took a painter, named White, to be witness whether the'defen dents would be as violent with my person as they had been with my goods. I will not swear that White did not break a lock. I did not see him measure, but he took his painter's rule out of his pocket. He went for a broker, who did not remain. When the defendants came into the room, I did not say " Come on, I am ready for you."—Will you swear you did not ?—I should rather say no than yes.—Mind what you say, or we may indict you.—Oh, you indict, ha ! ha! Mrs. Hutson and two other persons remained with me in the room until ten o'clock. We had a pot or two of porter together. Jane Hutson, a gigantic woman, secretary of the " Female Radical Society," and an occasional orator at the building in question, was the next witness examined. She stated that she was a married woman, and that her husband was a coachmaker in Longacre. She saw the three defendants push the com plainant out with great force, so that it was a miracle he did not fall down. Odom thrust him out with his hand and foot. Cross-examined.—l was in the room with Mr. Benbow from four until ten o'clock.—What business had you there ?—Every business, if Mr. Benbow thought proper. (Laughter.) lam frequently absent from my home. We only had a pot of por ter. I was before the magistrate, but I cannot say whether he charged the females with assaulting him. The jury acquitted the defendants. AGRICULTURAL INTELLIGENCE. HEREFORD GREAT MARKET.—The supply of stock in this market, which was held on Wednesday last, was fully'as plenti ful as usual, and of a good quality; but the demaild was un usually steers and oxen only meeting with a brisk sale and good prices. The horse fair was but very indifferent. Fat pigs, of which there was a great number, sold from 3s. 6d. to 4s. per stone. The show of fat cattle and sheep at Bridgewater Aneual Great Market, on Thursday week, was the smallest ever re membered. The best ox beef, of which there were some that weighed eighteen score a quarter, sold readily at lls. 6d. per score, and was in great demand. he best heifer beef brought from 9s. to 9s. 6d. per score, and beasts of middling quality were sold from Bs. to Bs. 6d, Fat sheep were scarce, and sold readily at 6d. per pound. 'Elie demand for fat cattle and sheep being brisk, caused the whole to be sold, and the market was accordingly quick. Marty dealers were present, who purchased for the Salisbury and Loudon markets. At Bury cattle fair, en Monday last th er e was a ve r y l arge show of neat,_stotk - and horses, but very high prices were asked for half-fat - beasts, of which the supply was very small, whilst the lean stock was scarcely to be got rid of at any price, owing to the scarcity of straw and other keep for them. 'The horses were almoiit entirely of the cart breed, and those which were good sold pretty freely. The butter and cheese fair was very large; Prime deiries of butt: sold at 4-Is. to 485., flat cheese 35,--te -31. 3d. kr Btonc,.

Acielererunae PRLZES.—The annual grand exhibition of prize side agricultural implements, and seeds, was appointed to take place on Friday, (yesterday) to-day, and on Monday next, at the Repository, in Gosvrell-street, London. It is ex pected that the prizes will be far more numerous this year than last. —Gloucestershire Chronicle. TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES IN AMERICA. The following scene is extracted from " Crayon Sketches," a work published in New York, where young ladies are the enthusiastic patronesses of these associa tions : " Henry unexpectedly entered the room, and to his utter sur prise and dismay found Laura literally steeped in tears. " Henry approached, and by a regular series of tender solici tations and delicate assiduities, sought to win from her the cause of her distress. * * * At length her grief found vent in en audible torrent of exclamations and inteirogatories— " And can you, Henry—you, who are the sole author of my misery, pretend ignorance ?—you, who have blighted all my young hopes of happiness ; you, who have betrayed my trusting affection—you who have—' " Me!' exclaimed the now really alarmed youth, what have I done ?' _ ......_ . " And do you ask ?—you who have created an insuperable harrier to our union,—you who have placed a chasm between us that can never b e ove rleapt—a bar that can never be taken down —a—' Good heavens! - what have I done ?'

Parliament is summoned to meet on the 4th of Febru ary. Lord GREY has consented to retain office until another premier can be found in whom the cabinet can repose confidence. Lord DURHAM'S dream—Lord Durt- HAM'S hope—Lord bußnAm's boast, has not been real-. ized ; and his anxious country has not received the bene fit of his services. The consequence is, that Mr. STAN LEY and Lord ALTHORP are deputed to. fight the battles of the Government in the House of Commons, and Lord GREY and Lord GODERICH in the Lords. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, we believe, has not condescended to offer more than half a dozen spicches during the three years he has held the situation of First Lord of the Admiralty.

Here, then, is but the beginning of the beginning.-- Here we meet those conflicting currents caused by the late political storms. Lord ALTHORP is selected to pilot the crazy ship, and yet he has proved himself to be t he most inexperienced, craftsman that ever navigated a wherry in Chelsea re ac h. H e h as ever ev inced tlie.,in °9t extraordinary alacrity at sinking. He has gone down under every budget he has attempted to carry, and hoW can he expect to brave those which are beset with ten thousand greater difficulties than any ever committed to his charge ? No, he must sink, and sinking break up t he ministry. WE beg to assure the public, that the Reverend M t- LIAM SHEPHERD is not the author of the Bridge Treatises. That excellent individual, whom we have t ° thank both for information and amusement, has commu nicated as much to a contemporary journal. What 14r. SHEPHERD disclaims we ar e b oun d t o ac k no wledge, a nd what he confesses we are ready to receive. For the pre sent, therefore, he shall have his own terms. It is singular enough that Mr. SHEPHERD'S admissions, as to the part he took in the commission of inquiry, hav e thrown some light upon the secret object of the inquisi tors, which has been further illustrated and confirmed 1 # Mr. BLACKBURNE, the chief commissioner, who is a can didate for the representation of Huddersfield in Parlia ment. Mr. SHEPHERD states, that when Mr. Commis sioner HOGG arrived in Liverpool, he sent him (M r ' SHEPHERD) a "sealed letter of introducti o n from afrie ßa requesting me to give the commissioners what inf°r°lB - I might think requisite to a perfect inquiry." He has not condescended to inform us who that friend iS Air. BLACKBURN; in answer to some question pu t t° him by one of the electors of Huddersfield last week, states_ what follows, to which we earnestly call the attention 01 our readers:— "I will not give up that commission immediately," Says IK BLACK BURNE, "if you should elect me for Huddersfield; for look on my election for HUddersfield as most serviceable to t yat commission, which is for ertirpating from our corporations the rot' ten system which has now been extirpated from the legislature; and I, as the chief commissioner, shall be thereby enabled to g ire more effectual assistance in ertirpatiny that rotten branch .1 the constitution." These are the openly avowed sentiments of a gentle man who professes to be an i n ti ma t e f r iend of L° lll BROUGHAM, to whom lie owes his appointment,and whose views he is anxious to promote by having a seat in Par; liament. What sort of justice can the corporations exr e at the hands of Mr. Chief Commissioner BLAcanuRNE He has prejudged them without inquiry. According t° his account, the commissioners were appointed, not to inquire, but to condemn—not to be regulated in their several reports by the evidence brought before them, lin t to ferret out evidence on which to found a bill of extir pation. The "rotten system" has been denounced hY Mr. BLACKBURNE before the system has been tried and • he is only anxious to be returned for Huddersfield for the purpose of giving his vote against a system which he has • pre-determined to obliterate, which he censures in pure ignorance, which he condemns unheard, and which lie holds up to be rotten and corrupt, even before the commis sioners leave half terminated their labours, and before a single one of them has drawn up his report. If this ha justice, it must be based on rules with which we and th e great majority of mankind never heard of before. It roaY be political justice, according to the maxims of the Whig schools, which mock all its external forms, and assert the . expediency of condemning first and trying afterward, but it is not the justice recognized by the laws of Enn - . land and every . other civilized country. We feel confident, whatever views Lord Baouonl may entertain on the subject, that lie never countenance the preconceived and invidious prejudices of the chief commissioner. We are, moreover, confident, that the noble and learned lord will n o t f ee l a lt oge ther pleas e d , . with the liberties which Mr. BLACKBURNE takes with lets name, and the ultra nature o f th a t p ar ti zans hip la icb converts a judge into a demagogue, and who avails WT .. : self of his conunission to make it su b serv i en t t o the vile st' of electioneering purposes. Nor will Lord BRoVon' t)l be much better pleased with the familiarities of Mr" SHEPHERD. His vanity draws too freely on the noble and learned lord's goodnature and benevolence. W b° wrote the letter which introduced Mr. Commissioner HOGG to Mr. SHEPHERD ? Who introduced Mr. Commis' sioner Wirmssos to Mr. BOLLTON ? How came it that . both of these commissioners were the bearers of letter s ' which they delivered, on theirarrival in Liverpool, to tis; of the leading Unitarians mo s t ho s til e t o th e C o rporation - Suppose a commission were to issue under the great seal. appointing Sir THOMAS DENMAN to try certain shit'', owners in Liverpool for entrapping emigrants, and frau dulently scuttling ships at sea, what would the world say . if Sir THOMAS DENMAN were to be the bearer Ora lett er introducing him to the accused parties, and which lettert— he should deliver immediately on his arrival in Liverr ° and previous to the opening of his court? Would there , not be a breeze in the north, a n d a ga l e i n th e east, tal c, a storm in the south, and l o ud th un d er ever y where ?. Would not the newspapers teem with dark insinuation s - - Would there not he a cry of shame in the streets, rat a rnurs in the taverns, motions without number in the Commons House of Parliament? 'l'lle parties might be acquitted or condemned—no matter which—the prejudice would remain, the suspicion would adhere, the Mil er would stick. Mr.SH:::PHERD has,—unconsciously, perhaps,—enah l ' d us to apply the analogy. Mr. Commissioner - brought him a sealed teller from a friend, requesting hi"' to give the commissioners information. It was -not ri simple letter of introduction, for it was sealed, and Mr. SHEPHERD imagined that Mr. Hooa knew the c ontents.: of it. Who dared to take such a liberty even with Mr . NOGG ? Who could have employed him in this extia judicial manner ? It must have been no common person - • age, otherwise Mr. Hoc° would have tossed the letter into the fire, and refused to be - put forward as a sort of spY to cater for evidence on the outside of the court, and b g advised by a man who had not the courage or the can" dour to enter the Sessions-house and seek the infornyt• tion he desired in the presence of his fellow-townsme°' • Until Mr. SHEPHERD shall inform us who the friend % who could interfere in this' insidious manner, and 0110 could take such a liberty both with Mr. SHEPHERD and Mr. Commi ss i o ner HOGG, we mus t s l eep over t h e belie ( t thatit was some one who was as strongly biassed again corporations as Chief Commissioner BLAC KBURN E, who has determined to legislate upon preconceived nions, whatever may be the reports of the itinerants Ke nerally.
