ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. TO THE INDEPENDENT LIVERY OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN', jT is now clear that this election is made the stalking-horse for returning four Tory Members for the City of London, at the next election. The Tories are laughing in their sleeves. By getting a Tory Lord Mayor out of his turn, they calculate on exhibiting a show of strength they ct.) not pDssrss, to deter the present, or any future Liberal candi dates from coming forward. Alderman Harmer has declared that he highly disapproves of any attacks on religion, and that he is himself a Christian and a Churchman, nevertheless the opposition continues. Why ? Is it not in or der to return four Tory Members for the City of London? Reformers, you un lerstand this trick ! Do your duty. THOMAS DE YEAR. Committee-room, Salopian Coffee-house, Charing-cross, October sth, 1840. Note.—The following extracts from the Argus of yesterday, confirm, if confirmation were wanting, the real obje ct of this contest:— "The contest which is now going on between the two parties in the City, is one in which principles of a higher nature are involved than may seem obvious to a casual observer." " Alderman HARMER is the representative of the Liberal party, and the result of the contest will be a pretty fair criterion of their strength." " The result will prove whether \% hig Radicalism be still lord of the ascendant in the regions beyond Temple-bar, or whether it is beginning to droop its head and pale its ineffectual tire' before the returning light of Conservative reaction. Messrs. GROTE and PATTISON voted for Alderman HARMER, and thereby sealed their ex pulsion from the future representation of the City of London." EVENING EDITION. TO THE LIVERYMEN OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN, UNDE R a mistaken impression that Alder man Harmer was friendly to the attacks upon religion that have appeared in the Dispatch, many pious and conscien tious persons have voted against him. It appears, however, hat at a meeting of his ward, also in Common Hall, and also on Friday at the hustings, Alderman Harmer distinctly dis approved of these attacks, declared himself a friend to Chris tianit3, as his practice has ever shown, and expressed his strong opinion that newspapers ought not to engage in religions dis cussion. These circumstances were not generally known until this day. The ostensible cause, therefore, of opposition to him as Lord Mayor being removed, it is clear that such opposition can only be continued for other objects. More than one half of the Livery not being aware of this declaration, and at the same time not being elesirous of acting dishonestly towards Alder man Harmer, have not yet voted at all. It is only necesary to mention these facts to all who disapprove alike of irreligion on the one hand and injustice on the other, to induce them to do unto Alderman Harmer as they would that Alderman Har mer should do unto them, were they similarly circumstanced. Many hundreds have signified their intention this day (being now satisfied with the Alderman's declaration on the hustings) to poll for him early on Monday morning. There is no longer a pretext for refusal, and every honourable man will feel that when Alderman Harmer has disclaimed all that can be alleged against him, it is a matter of duty not to remain neutral.

Our agricul ture is not much behind, though it by no means surpasses the agriculture of Belgium, Holland, Germany, and France, in the same manner as our commerce and manufactures surpass their com merce and manufactures. In arts, particularly the mechanic arts, England has also outstripped the other nations. In poetry, eloquence, and philosophy she is not behind. Every branch of society which is little regulated, or not at all regulated, by the Legislature, sue. ceeds and flourishes, but the Government, as a whole, does not succeed. Masses of people, though most industrious and most skilful, are steeped in poverty and discontent. They are not satisfied with the Government. No country in Europe has had so much Church as England. Far greater reductions and reforms in the tem poralities of the clergy have been made in almost all the countries of Europe than in England, and yet our people are said by the priesthood to be irreligious, and to be lamentably in want of spiritual instruction. The Church and the Government, then, are failures; while those parts of society which have most escaped their control, are prosperous and flourishing. Under such circumstances there_ has arisen a great outcry against all those who seek beyond the Church and the Government the means of pro moting the happiness of society. That is, the two great schemes which time has demonstrated to be failures, are to be religiously preserved in all their vigour, and even those parts of society which have prospered are to be sacrificed to preserve them from reform. Hence much of the outcry against Socialism, Chartism, Repealisin, and every other Ism, except Church of Englandism and Con stitutionalism. This is not wise. Discussion can do no harm ; but we never shall make any useful progress if every new thought, every new system, every announced discovery is to be cried down, because it does not accord with the conventionalities and routine thoughts of those The Post has undertaken to defend the proposal who believe there is no safety for mankind but in of the Quayterig Review, to raze the half of our maintaining unreformed the Government and the towns- That writer is described as lookin g " with Church.

The Tories have let out their intention of making the contest for the Mayoralty the test of opposing all the four Reform Members for tiv2 City at the next election, and their few voters yet unpolled have received notices to that effect. We are happy, however, to learn, that nearly 2,000 of the Livery wh o opposed HORSLEY PALMER at the last election have not yet polled for LORD - MAYOR. This timely notice will enable them to defeat the deep designs of their crafty opponents. TO CORRESPONDENTS. wickedness of the proposer and his touter more apparent. Nothing is more certain than that all the im: provements in arts which adorn modern society— from the painting, poetry, architecture, and sculp ture of the age of the MEDICI, to railways and vessels moved by Archimedian screws, are the off spring of cities. It is equally certain that the im provements in morals which distinguish the mo derns from the ancients, have had the same source. We know that it has been customary to assert that they have come from the scattered aristocracy and the priesthood, whose education has been based on the cruelties Of the classic Romans, or Greeks, or still more an cient Hebrews ; but the patience and forbearance, which is inculcated by the conditions of their exis tence on tradesmen of towns anxious for customers, dependent for their bread on the good opinion of other persons, are the true sources of the humanity and kindliness of modern life. In towns, division of labour is carried to the greatest extent ; in towns, therefore, the mutual dependence of men is extreme; in towns, accordingly, people learn to be civil and well-behaved, and from towns civility, forbearance, and humanity, have spread over the rural districts. Yet because the town population exhibits these vir tues,while they have to a considerable extent emanci pated themselves from the control of the priests, the half of our towns are to be razed to restore the dominion of those who are angry because the peo ple no longer believe that they are appointed by GoD to be our masters and oppressors. The Post and the Quarterly Review deride the improvement of the age. Instead of drawing on their imagination for rich pictures of Arcadian bliss, in the good days of protection and obedience and feudal tenures, let them consult history ; and, whatever may be the vices of our modern cities, they will find them sur passed in their chosen periods of rural felicity. Not a century ago there yet remained in Scotland the beau ideal of the Quarterly Re• viewer's government. Feudal tenures existed—each chieftain exercised a monarch's power over his vassals, and what was the result ? Why these rural kings were continually aiming at each others lives, and employing their subjects to levy black mail on the more civilized people of the neigh bouring towns and valleys. They were quarrel some assassins at home and robbers abroad. Two centuries have yet scarcely elapsed when such a state of society existed in the north of England, and the Marches were then filled with ra pine and murder. Two centuries ago, when such a feudal condition of society existed, England was continually the prey of armed incur_ rections and civil war. Do the Quarterly Review and the Post wish them restored? As our towns have increased, the people have become peaceable, and the inhabitants of our mercantile and commer cial cities, obtaining wealth and power by honest industry, have tamed the plundering Barons and the militant priests. We quoted a few days back Mr. FARR'S un answerable observation, that the mortality in towns had gradually lessened during the last 200 years, and, with that lessening mortality, th ere has been a gradual increase in all the decencies and virtues of life; yet simply because this improvement has been accompanied by - a -pro per diminution of the power of the priests, it is proposed to raze half our towns. The conceited, arrogant heart in which the thought originated, however gracefully it may be expressed, is fit for the bosom of a NERO or a BORGIA. Only a rriest stark mad, we think, with spiritual pride, could have conceived the idea of razing to the earth half the abodes of our intelligent artizans, of our men of science. of our cultivated artists, of our poets, phi losophers, and politicians—for nearly all these live in cities—and of making desolate their hearths, around which are collected some of the most esti mable and excellent members of society. But priests, so mad with spiritual pride, now demand do minion over the minds and hearts of their fellow creatures, and to establish that is the main design of the Tory policy. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, igio, modern times, or like NEEDHAM, and VANE, and ALGERNON SYDNEY, two centuries ago, he doubts the utility of a Monarchical Government ; or that, speculatively, like a whole host of the most cultivated writers in Germany at present, and like no inconsiderable number of clever men in all parts of Europe during the last 200 years, he doubts the truth of Christianity ?" By not allowing him or others to express those opinions, the danger to society is infinitely greater, as shown by the Spec tator, encouraging insincerity, falsehood, cowardice, and all possible vices, than the free expression of such opinion. To oppose Mr. HARMER on such ground, then, is to strengthen and confirm, as fat as possible, the great social and moral evils described by our Contemporary, and to prepare the way for the complete demoralization of society. Yet the hypocrites who oppose the Alderman do it in the names of morality, social order, and religion. Accounts from Spain state that ESPARTERO, on leaving Barcelona, published a proclamation, in which he announces the dissolution of the Na tional Guard of that place, in consequence of its having been organised with Radical views. Th. General in charge of the War Department, at Valencia, under date the 21st of September, pub lishes a letter from ESPARTERO, in which he accepts the post of President of the Council, and solicits her MAJESTY'S Royal authority, in order that he may proceed to Madrid to form a new Mi nistry. The QUEEN readily granted the required authority, and General XA VIER, who made the communication, adds : Her MAJESTY thus proves to you peremptorily all the confidence which she places in your bands, being well convinced that there is no person who would know better than yourself how to realise the wishes of her MA JEsTy, who ardently desires the peace, union, and happi ness of all Spaniards." The whole of the French Journals of Friday and Saturday have been received. The news they bring is confined to the account of the burning of Bey rout, which has revived the war-fever in France. They are unanimous in proclaiming that war has now commenced in good earnest. We trust not. We cannot believe that France will be so mad as to proclaim herself the ally of the rebel Paella, when she has it in her power to assume the high functions of a mediator fOr the conservation of the peace of the world : , Vre have done with negotiations, and all now depends upon incidents, and on the will of some men. If Mehemet Ali and Louis Philippe abide by the warlike declarations attributed to them the world is on fire, and we give up to the chances of battles and tem pests. Bcyrout being occupied by the English, and the Turkish flag flying over its ruins, the insurrection of Syria is certain ; and Ibrahim separated from Egypt has no alternative but to lay down his arms or to march against Constantinople. What do people now think of the magnanimous ally, and of the Ministerial speech of M. Tillers? We were told this morning of an answer to the memorandum of Lord Palmerston. Memorandums and protocols arc now out of the question. WO must know whether M. Guizot will demand his passports, and whether our armies will march to the Rhine. The new Pacha, appointed by the Sultan, will be an English Pacha at Alexandria, as the Sultan is a Rus sian Pacha at Constantinople, The Austrians appear in Syria. The march of the Prussians into Poland is talked of. The partition is already made. Oaly the fictions of governments are still retained. England attains her object—she is mistress of Egypt.—La Ga zette de France. A report is again in circulation that Field-Marshal Paskewitsch has come to Berlin to propose to the King of Prussia to occupy Poland in case of a war. This arrangement would leave the Russian forces free to ad vance in a mass to the frontiers of Turkey, but it seems also to indicate the contemplation of a partition. If Poland is to be the share of Prussia, what will be that of Russia ?—Courrier Francais. BO URSE.--PARIS, SATURDAY, OCT. 3. first Highest Lowest Last . Price Price. Price.

THE GRAND INVENTION FOR DESTROYING FLEETS. —The assertion that, before these inventions were of fered to the English Government, " they had already been detailed to the French," is a falsehood ; but we will communicate a curious fact to our readers, which will rather astonish them, but which is, nevertheless, most strictly true, and which will show how anxious the French r tliovernment are to have " detailed to them" invention s which Lord Melbourne and the English Ad miralty dare to treat with derision. An impostor made his appearance, ten days ago, at Paris ; obtained as to M. 'fhiers, to whom he represented himself as the inventor alluded to in the Times, and had actually an audience of Louis Philippe. That acute-minded Monarch, with the test supplied by the statements in the Times, soon detected that he had not encountered the real man, and the charlatan was dismissed.—Con serrative Journal.--[We were not aware that the sub lime inventor of a machine for making naval skill valueless, had found a second patron. Now that we are informed that two Tory Journals puff off the invention, we have a quadruple reason for character:zing the whole as fudge. As they assert, and assert vehe mently, our disbelief increases as the square of the assertions.---En. Sun.] BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, OCT. 3.--A courier from M. Behr, the Belgian Ambassador at Constantinople, arrived a few days ago at Wiesbaden with despatches, which he deli vered to the King. These despatches were immediately forwarded to Brussels by the same courier who arrived yesterday. Baron Strassart, the King's Envoy Extraordinary, ar rived at Turin on the 24th of September. He was immediately received by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Count Solar de la Marguerite, and was to be presented to the King on the 26th. King Charles Albert has resolved to send zn extraordinary Envoy to King Leo pold, and has chosen Count de Potion for the purpose. The Count is one of the most distinguished persons in Sardinia, and at present Ambassador at London. Lord 'William Russell, the English Ambassador at Berlin, has just received the rank of Grand Cross of the Order of Leopold. Dr. Scott has been permitted to practise among French patients by a Royal ordonnance dated the 7th inst. This gentleman, it will he remembered, was subjected to much annoyance some time ago, along with other English knedical men at Boulogne, from prosecutions brought against them under a law passed in the time of the late war, for practising among French patients without permis sion of Government. This reparation to a distinguished member of the faculty has caused much satisfaction at Boulogne.—Boulogne Gazette. Some of the recent appeals made to their debtors by the holders of Peninsular securities have been qui e pathetic; but, nevertheless, the oracles of 'Change expect it will be long enough before they touch the Spanish The politicians of the United States are amazed at the little attention which the boundary affair excites in England ; they cannot conceive why " the .Maine ques :ion" should be considered a matter of inferior importance. SUIT IN CHANCERY.—Me are informed that a Bill of Discovery has been filed in the High Court of Chancery, against the Rev. Thomas Sherburne, a Roman Catholic clergyman, of the Willows, Kirkham, ex-Vicar- General of the Lancashire district. Also against the Right Rev. Dr. Briggs, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Yorkshire. Also against the Very Rev. Richard Thomp son, of Weld Bank, Chorley, Vicar-General for Lane hire. Also against the Rcv. Dr. Youens, senior priest of Cop peras Hill Chapel, Liverpool. Also against ?qr. James 'feebay, Land Agent, Ingel, Preston. Our readers will perhaps remember that a few weeks ago, there appeared in The Sun a paragraph, copied from the Lancaster Guar dian, stating that the Rev, Th omas Sh er b urne, confessor to the late 'Mr. Heatley, of Brindle Lodge, had fallen heir to that gentleman's large fortune, and that the :aid confessor was his sole executor and residual.) , legatee. It also intimated, that it was the intention of the heiresses at-law to contest the validity of their uncle's will. We are further informed, that similar bills to the one men tioned above, arc in preparation against ot h er Reverend Gentlemen; and that most of the se cu l ar priests in Lan cashire, among whom is Dr. Ling ar d, w i ll receive sub poenas fur the trial, which is to be brou g h t on at the next Spring Assize, fo” the county of Lan caster. The salsa tion which this will has occasioned in L ancas hi re, and the known, is very great, in geourntilet, counties andthe where all the p art i es are well trial is looked forward to with the utmost anxit.ty.

MURDER OF BRITISH SUBJECTS.—A Belfast gen tleman, who resided for some time in Buenos Ayres, has placed before us private letters which he has re ceived from that country. The writers, he assures us, are persons of undoubted respectability. "eßueslos AYRES, MAY 13, IB4o.—We remain in the same predicament as when you left us blockaded by the French. This has reduced commercial transac tions to the lowest ebb ; in fact, business is in a state of complete stagnation ; nor have we the least apparent prospect of better times. Our only hope is in Lavalle, who is at present at the head of a large and well-disci plined army, composed of the most respectable people in this country, and who at present is in possession of Entre Rios. Such is the state of things here, that many of our British countrymen have lost their lives. Amongst them is the good and industrious O'Neill. Many have their wives and daughters debauched before their own eyes ; and, notwithstanding the power and respectability of our Government, not one of these, our injured countrymen, has been able to obtain, through the medium of our Minister, the smallest redress, after many and repeated solicita tions. A great number of our old friends have been obliged to emigrate from tbis once flourishing country, to Monte Video." We proceed to give an extract from anethe letter. The details arc of the most revolting character :--- " BUENOS AYRES, MAY 16, 1840.—Now, respect ing the political state of this unfortunate country—it is not more deplorable to relate than it is true. I will give you a sketch of facts. First, I shall refer to the case of Dr. Maza, the most eminent lawyer in this country, and Rosas' old schoolmaster, but lately head Judge of the Camara, President of the House of Representatives, Minister of Government, and President of a Lodge lately established by Rosas, entitled the Masorca. This Lodge is composed of Rosas' confidential guars ; who are accustomed to perform the most cold-bloods; murders by his orders. Rosas, with six of these men, went to the House of Representatives at six o'clock in the afternoon, when Maza was writing his resignation. Rosas was the first who plunged a knife into his heart, whilst the others advanced, cut his throat, ripped the flesh off his face, and butchered him. At twelve that night his son, Colonel Man, an esteemed officer, was shot, with out trial. Father and son were thrown into a Policia (police) cart, that night, and committed to the damp well in the Recolets (the place into which the bodies of traitors, murderers, &c , are cast.) Baron de Astrado, Governor of Corrientes, was also slau'ghtered by Rosas' party ; his skin was taken off, and bridle-reins and mane (a strop of fetter) made of it, of which a present was made to Rosas, and he received it as a gift. These ar ticles his daughter Manuelita Rosas rides about with, to show her murdering courage. In the qusrtell (Mr racks) of the Indian Colonel Cuetinos, they shoot none; but have a post in the ground, where the prisoner is placed against it, standing, whilst an Indian holds him by the hair of the head, and another Indian gives him so horrible a gash on the throat with his knife, that he expires instantly. This plan was adopted, as the peo ple left the neighbourhood from the constant shooting. The elks, at night, were frightful. Three weeks ago, Rosas shot and cut the throats of fourteen rich and respectable men ; the following day he slaughtered six teen! Rosas' most staunch supporters, in the South, revolted against him; and, in that revolution, many of cur industrious countrymen lost their lives and pro perty. Among them was poor James t I . Neill, though he had the greatest confidence in Rosas' government. Forty soldiers, armed with balls, lassos, carbines, and lances, came to his house, from their encampment, which was near ; these slaughtered O'Neill, in a dread ful manner ; but, luckily his wife, with her little children escaped to a thistle mount. The next day, she went to the encampment, to Rosas' brother, the General-in- Chief, Prudencio Rosas. He gave her no satisfaction. A Mr. Watson and his son were also tied, and both were severely stabbed, beat, lanced, and, what is more horrible, his old wife and three daughters were held, hands and feet, by officers as well as soldiers, and abused in presence of all. This is Rosas' war fare ; and what is more painful to relate, her Majesty's Minister is hand-and-glove with these assassins ; and there is no redress, what ever, for any man's life or property. Two weeks ago some respectable men were murdered, under the British Minister's house, while vsaitine for a boat, to escape from this tyrant. One hundred and fifty infantry and cavalry of Rosas' own body guard, came on them ; some of the unfortunate men begged to be allowed to write to their wives ; others, on their knees, before their assassins, prayed for pardon, but all in vain. They cut their throats, and the flesh from their dead faces, after strip, ping them naked and disfiguring their bodies in the most dreadful manner. One of them was a Colonel Lunch and another Charles Mason, Englishmen's sons, who were brought up in the service. An officer named O'Linda, Riglos, and Cosmey, were amongst the sufferers. When they threw them from the cart, at the Policia door, the assassins again abused, with their knives, the dead bodies. All took place at half past six o'clock in the evening. The English Minister, and Captain Russell, of her Majesty's ship Actaeon, with a Dr. Lepper, heard the cries of these poor fellows, all of most respectable connections. Minister Arrana shoe. d to Mr. Slade, the American Consul, 80 ouncrs of gold which was taken from these men. Those mur derers returned to Rosas' house, showing their sabres smeared with blood, and telling how they cut the throats of those Unitarios. Rosas' only daughter, overjoyed at the good deed, told them they should not wash their hands until they took matie (a species of beverage) with her, which they enjoyed in lauehter. HOP INTELLIGENCE, WORCESTER, OCT. 2.' —The planters supplies at market on Saturday la s t were very limited, which is proof of the scarcity of Hops in their hands, as the public scale returns show that only 28 new, and 38 old pockets were weighed, with the exception of 9 ' new, and 141 old. in the week. A fair quantum of busi ness was done by the trade, and at the close of the Market many loads of Hops from their stocks were forwarded to the count r y b uyers . The Duty is still estimated at 1201. to 1501., and many think the former sum will be nearest the amount paid. All fine Hops keep firm in price , a nd a r e much in demand at the following quotations, but some ferior sorts are obtained at ss. cwt. less (more partioularly the new ones) than they were a fortnight ago.. Present currency, per cwt. :-1839'3, from 140 s. to I6os. ; fine and choice, 170 s. to 1903., 1837'5, from 100 s. to 1305.; 1836'5, and 1835's from 70s. to 955. Worcester 'Jerald. We take this opportunity of contradicting the rumour that the stockings belonging to Misters had been discovered sewed up in the bed, and satu ated with blood. —Worcester Herod. CAPTAIN REYNOLDS. We have seldom read a more triumphant defence than that of Captain Reynolds, for, however we may disapprove of his second letter (which, for his own sake, wa regret), we admire the singular propriety of the fi st, written under circumstances the most calculated to ir ritate a high spirited man, yet combining in a remark able degree, all that was essential to his own character to say, with infinite forbearance, and a scrupulously re spectful tone. It was only when Lord Cardigan chose to put a construction upon this letter utterly at vari ance with its contents, and with the intentions of the writer, precluding, at the same time, all possibility of explanation, by orders given on parade, under circumstances that admitted of no reply —that Captain Reynolds, stung to madness by what appears to us to be the ne plus ultra of injustice and tyranny com bined, addressed to his commanding officer that se cond letter for which he is now arraigned. We beg our readers to mark every link in this chain. First, the Lieutenant-Colonel of a regiment uses words highly prejudicial to the character of a distinguished officer serving under him—the senior captain of his regiment— a man, who has been engaged in active service for fifteen years, and has maintained an unblemished repu tation as an cfficer and a gentleman during the whole of that time. Secondly, the report reaches the party aggrieved. Thirdly, he respectfully requests Lord Cardigan " to have the goodness to authorise him to contradict it." And, fourthly, Lord Cardigan neither avows nor disavows the offensive words, but affects to regard the explanation sought as intended to force upon him a hostile collision, or as tie groundwork of a charge against him at the Horse Guards. How true is Ca:nein Reynolds's reply :—" If he (Lord Cardigan) denied the truth of the report, neither charge, nor collision, nor correspondence could pos sibly have ensued. My case is this : I, the senior cap tain of the regiment, respectfully solicited a denial from Lord Cardigan of a report affecting my character. He now says the report was untrue ; he could, but would not, deny it. In eff...et he says, I can, but I will not, do an act of the commonest justice to an officer of unimpeachable character tinder my' command. This is Lord Cardigan's own case. I know of no principle or rule of the service which pre vented my writing, or Lord Cardigan answering, this letter. Such a rule would be repugnant to every feeling of justice, and would be destructive of the honour and independence of the officers of the army." In every one of these conclusions we concur : and if the feelings of gallant and honour able men are to be outraged by any titled puppy who happens to be placed over them, while just complaints are stifled by the dread of being brought to a court-martial, and dismiased the service, for dis respectful and insolent conduct, unb e c om i ng the chsvac ter of an officer and a gentleman" (which is the charge preferrCd against C a pt a i n Reynolds by Lord Cardigan), we confess that we shall expect soon to see the British army brought back to what it was during part of the last century, when well-born Colonels in swaddling clothes were placed at the head of a regiment without scruple or shame, and lad captains pimped, bullied, and cheated for every nobleman who would give them a dinner in return. The only inconvenience of this state of things was, that the army was fit neither for home nor for foreign use. The Duke of Wellington did something to restore its efficiency, We have yet to see the result of the system more recently applied to it by Lord Cardigan and Lord Hill.—Weekly Chronicle. IRELAND. GREAT MEETING OF THE ULSTER CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION AT BELFAST. On Thursday there was a great meeting held in the theatre at Belfast, the Earl of Charlemont pre sided as Chairman. The boxes, pit, and galleries, were filled to suffocation, and the stage, which served as a platform, was crowded with Noblemen and Gentlemen of the highest respectability and influence. The lower boxes in particular were filled with elegantly dressed ladies, who seemed to participate largely in the interest which the proceedings were naturally calculated to ex cite, and altogether the arrangements were of the most orderly description, reflecting the utmost credit upon the parties under whose inspection they had been superintended. The business of the meeting was not brought to a close till between six and seven o'clock, the dinner party followed almost immediately afterwards. We regret that our limits will not allow us to give either a sketch of the eloquent speeches that were delivered, or a complete list of the distinguished personages who attended on this occasion. Amongst them were the Earls of Charlemont and Gosford, Lord Cremorne, Hon. H. Caalfeild, Hon. Captain Southwell, brother to Lord Southwell, Sir Ru. bent S. Adair, Bart. ; Leonard Dobbin, Esq., J. P. ; Robert J. Tennent, Esq., J. P. ; Alex. S. Adair, Esq., W. S. Crawford, Esq., J. S. Crawford, Esq., J. Dun ville, Esq., &c. The speeches were characterised by a style of high, impassioned, and truly classic eloquence. The principal ' speakers were, the Right Hon. Chairman ; W. S. Crawford, Esq., one of the Secretaries ; D. R. Ross ; Lord Gosford ; Lord Cremorne ; Col. Rawdon, M.P. for Armagh ; Counsellor Andrews ; N. Nelly, Esq , J. P. of Carrickmacross ; T. M'Donnell, Esq., Q.C. ; Alex. S. Adair, Esq. ; D. C. Brady, Esq. ; Major Edwards (county Tyrone) ; R. J. Tennent, J.P. ; George Mathews, Esq. (Springvale) ; Arthur Craw fo►d, Esq. (younger son of Mr. Sharman Crawford), who delivered a short, but highly appropriate address, indicative of no very ordinary talent, and which was accordingly universally cheered ; Hon. Captain South well ; Rev. Dr. Montgomery, &c. &c. A short time previously to the close of the meeting the Earl of Charlemont was ob:iged to retire, in con sequence of indisposition ; the Earl of Gosford was called to the chair, and the remaining business was transacted. On the motion of Adam M'Lean. Esq., the Earl of Gosford vacated the chair to which Sir R. Adair was called ; and thanks having been returned to Lord Charlemont for his excellent conduct on the occasion, the meeting adjourned. At the dinner, in addition to the usual loyal and con stitutional toasts, the following were given and suitably responded to :—" Lord Ebrington, our excellent and respected Viceroy, and Prosperity to Ireland"—Air, " Patrick's Day." Lord Cremorne acknowledged the toast in appropriate terms. " Lord Charlemont"— Air, " The Volunteers' Ma-ch." The cheering with which this toast was received was enthusiastic. The Dublin Evening Post, whose columns contain a report of the proceedings, occupying almost the whole of the paper, has, amongst others, the following remarks in relation to this meeting :—" In every respect this assemblage of the Reformers of Ulster was a demonstra tion of the most gratifying character, affording, as it does, full ground for hope that the Northern Province will not much longer be degraded by the domination of Orange Peers and Squires, who render its represents• tion subservient to their family arrangements as well as their factious objects. Lord Charlemont was in his natural position, at the bead of the Reformers of the North, arid the patriotic Lord Gosford, Lord Cremorne, the veteran Reformer, Leonard Dobbin, Colonel Rawdon, Mr. Sharman Craw. lord, Mr. Ross, of Ros'revor, and a• bust of other " good men and true," gave their zealous co-operation in the common cause. The list of iesolutions, as wed as the proceedings, indicate that the Association Is is confined itself to practical onj..cts, for the attainment of which all sections of Liberals may cordially co-operate. The Disfranchisement Bill of Lord Stanley led to the formation of the Ulster Association, whose rallying cry is, resistance to that atrocious attempt to extinguish the electoral privileges of the Irish people." Last week a man fell over the new bridge at Barskimming, a height of ninety feet, into the water bo low. Fortunately he fell towards the deep part of the river, and strange to say, with the exception of being ,stunned by his alarming descent, got out uninjured. • EVENING- EDITION. COURT CIRCULAR.
