EVEN G EDITION . ELECTIONS. FALMOUTH, JAN. 24. I . Ycstcrday, at the nomination for a representative for this borough, E. J. Hutchins, Esq., was proposed by the Re formers, and the Tories, being unable to procure another candidate, as a forlorn hope, decided on proposing their townsman, William Carne, Esq., a gentleman of high es t( em as regards his private character, who consented to be nominated, with an understanding that he would not be at at any expenso. The election commenced this morning, and as the Tories had no aid from the Carlton Springs, it was what may be termed a fair stand up fight, and one of principle only. The result, as smatter of course, has ter , minuted in the return of Mr. Hutchins, by a majority of 222. The gross numbers being , for 1 E. J. Hutchins, Esq. W. Ca Carne, Esq. BEVERLEY. CLOSE OF THE POLL. Fox . Murray Majority . .410 -146 (From the York Herald.) We must state that Mr. Lamie Murray, the Liberal candidate, came forward with a promptitude and alacrity which dors him honour; he is supported by the Reform Association, and his speech on Thursday fully evinces t hat he deserves their support. He is a gentlema n of g reat talent, undoubted integrity, and of liberal and constitu tional views ; and should the electors of Beverley refuse 1 his services, we heartily trust that some other constituency l will shortly secure them. His eloquence would render I him a powerful supporter of the Min•stry, and his financial and commercial knowledge would render him highly ser i ~ieeable to the country at large. (From the Hull Journal.) The election at Beverley has terminated, as we always I expected it would, in the r eturn of the Tory, though his majority is larger than we c alculated upon. This may be accounted for by the fact that many votes proraised to Mr. Murray were, when it was found that his chance was gone, 1 given to the winning side ; we believe that between thirt y ', mind forty will be found so to have changed sides. The t bribery on the Tory side was profuse, and the exhibition of drunkenness was most degrading. The means thus made luse of have greatly tended to the disfranchilement of the , bo , ough ; men of all classes, but es p eciall y amon g st the / rigni-thinking of the working population, are now impressed i with the belief, that the only cure for the corruption and ex cess displayed on the and former occasions, is disfranchise- rho independence of Beverley is virtually gone—free dom. as appliA to the electors, is a mockery—for they are the bought men of their Members, and no one in future will be found to fight for them against the oppression of which they may have to complain. As to a comparison between the qualifications of Mr. Murray and Mr. Fox, such a thing would be absurd, The one has nothing to recommend him but hig purse—the other is a man who j would reflect honour and credit upon any representation in tl'e empire. Mr. Murray has most enlarged views of S , ate policy, is an excellent man of business, thoroughly Liberal in his opinions, eloquent and industrious—qualifi cations th.se mo s t to be prized by a large Lading c:nsti tuency. He has stood a contest at Beverley manfully and i well ; that be has not succeeded is not his own fault, but that of others. EDINBURGH ELECTION. On Thursday the election of a Member to serve in Par liauo nt for the City of Edinburgh took place at the Cross, with the usual formalities. No opposition being antici pated, the assemblage of the public was much less than usual on such occasions ; and, consequently, there was little excitement. The utmost order and decorum, how eve- , prevailed throughout the proceedings. Atte, the usual formalities had been gone through, the Sheriff declared Mr. Macaulay duly elected. Mr. _Macaulay returned thanks in a short speech, when the crowd d,spersed, the whole proceedings not having lasted quite an hour. DINNER TO MR. MACAULAY. In the evening a large body of the friends and supporters of Mr Macaulay entertained him at a public dinner in the etieterloo Rooms. Nearly 500 persons were present, being as many as the room could accommodate; but the Commit- tee state that the applications for tickets were nearly double that number. The Lord Provost occupied the chair, and ras supported on the right by the Right Hon. T. B. Ma caulay, the Earl of Buchan, Rev. A. Bennie, Councillor ) Macaulay, Adam Black, Esq., C. J. F. Orr, Esq., W. S., J os eph Gordon, Esq., W. S., Archibald Thomson, Esq., R. IL.ndyside, Esq., Advocate, John Veitch, Esq., of Woodside ' • and on the left by Sir T. Dick Lauder, Bart., Thomas Maitland, Esq., Advocate, Andrew Millar, Esq., De, Maclagan, James Denham, Esq., Assistant Clerk of e essiou, Robert Hunter, Esq., and W. Mackenzie, EN. of Muirtown. The Solicitor-General acted as croupier, ' and was supported by Sir Charles Menteath of Closeburn, Bart., R. Thomson, Esq., Advocate, Robert Bell, Esq., Advocate, Procurator for the Church, and Duncan M'La ren, Esq Grace was said , and thanks returned by the I Rev A. Bennie. After the usual preliminary toasts, the Chairman gave 1 gr Tee health of the Right Honourable Thomas Macaulay," wh : c h was responded to with the greatest enthusiasm. pri g ', 2,lecetneee was received with deafening cheers. He said --My Lord Provost and Gentlemen, I thank you. 1 If I possessed a far wider command than Ido of the artifi ' cial and ornamented modes of returning thanks, all my I expressions of gratitude must have been already exhausted during my pres=et visit to Edinburgh. For the kindness I have this night received, I have only again to repeat that ! I tender you my thanks. But I can truly say now, as I said in the morning on the hustings, it is far more on public than on private grounds that I rejoice at my i r eception this day. I did not indeed expect that on the city of Edinburgh the arts of calumniators or of incendia „ees would make any very serious impression. Yet I f c annot but say that I entertain some apprehensions,—not t o ot the great majority of the electors of Edinburgh would h e affected by these misrepresentations; but knowing, as I die. the strong religious feeling, and the ardent attach ment to the Protestant religion, for which this capital has fo- centaaries been famed, I did entertain some apprehensions i that the cry of ' No Popery" would make some impres . sine here—sounded as that cry has been, with singular vehemence and pertinacity, by writers who are a scandal to litters, and preachers who are a scandal to religion.— Therefore it was, as in all my deal -1 (Great cheering.) I 'rigs with sou, arid in all my dealings with every other con esSeuent beds , with which I have been connected, it has al !ways' been my object to address myself straight to those point. where I thought error and prejudice might exist; thei efore it was that, when I appeared before you two days ago, I thought it my duty directly to encounter those feel toga, - The kindness which I then received, and the en- , I q ui s,,sir which you then displayed, I shall never forget. i.I feel :ha(, in acting as scu have done—l feel that, in 1 tuening• ,t deaf ear, es you have done, to those who w o uld raise the cry of " No Popery," you, the people of Seo:land, hate promoted not rnere:y the public into ; res•, but pre-eminently your own. Do not deceive 1 yourvelvea. Do not imagine that the spirit of intoler. ante seeker only one victim. Do not imagine that the rights of conscience , be in g violated in one quarter, ' ill be held sacred in every other.—( Cheers.) Rernern issea the history of thee,: measures which greatly en gs e te ed the limits of tengious liberty. The repeal of the leeit Act was the signal for Catholic emancipation. I in a Is:‘v months after the disabilities of the Pro . •estant L'issenter were removed, the disabilities of the Catilolas- followed. As was the progress, so will ne rep-ow e s s,,en surely be.—( Loud cheers . ) Re p lace Vie fetters of the Catholic, and you will soon see the foyers of the; Protestant Dissenter replaced.—(Cheers.) The truth is, that that section of the High Church party of England , who are most loud and clamorous ii the repeal of the Act which gave emancipation to i lee Catholic, notoriously regard with equal aversion tf , e Act w 6 The sameh tolera e tes the Protstant Dissenter.— ( Cheer , . ) perso ns who complain of the pre ,' ~ -t Government f o r administering the Catholic &nen ' 'A- o li a. 'Wu Act according to its s p irit, are those who, as ‘e 'l they had the pow er, have done their best to pre : seen!al" lie re peal of the Test Act fr om bein g administered i ~,, ca t . li n g to its spirit ; an d if the y had the will we should i . r ,'et an English Pre sb y terian, Independent, or Bap i t n 's s t e elevete d to t he bench, or to any other place of public Truitt ' ' __(L cud cheats.) You me mbers of the Church of . g ez ee in ei e ve uld greatly deceive yourselves if tou imagined • ii,,, t , b ecau se you have emoluments, and the name of an Establishment, the party whom I have designated the High Church party, regard you with any toleration. To them the Kok itself is a Secession ; its orders and forms are denied all validity : and while able and pious men among you er re. some for the claims of an Establishment, and others fe• the elaims of Dissent, the eersoes of whom I speak regard you as all Dissenters alike. While you argue for en d against church extension, they tell you that you have no church to extend.— ( Immense cheering.) Whoever is i mi iii t er with the writings and speeches of that party knows •, e r s , i.vhile the Catkolics are , with them , idolaters , you are, h. their phrdse, Samaritans, Your national worship—that 000.„it and so l emn worship, endeared to you by the heroic 1 ,tregsrltt aid se ferings ef your ancestors, is spoken o f as 4 sit UllhOi) off;erie,fr on Mount Gerizim.—( Great cheering.) The name of &i s mer commands respect in their estima , 1 tine compared with the name of Knox. Those parts of sour history on which they love to dwell, are those parts . ei hich relate to the old times when tyrants attempted 1 to force upon Scotland an ecclesiastical polity and ritual 1 which she abhorred. Their sympathies are reserved for that execrable Government, which employed the sword ) and the halter, and the frightful torture of the boot, to protect the prayer-book and the surplice—which drove 4 our fa'hers from the habitation of men to sing their psalms and listen to their preachers on the brown heath of the 1 mountains, with their swords by their sides.—(Loud I cheer; ) In the estimation of these men, the great blot I of the revolution was, that the Episcopal Church of Scot , land was sweet away ; and the memory of William 111.- 1 that memory which is pronounced to be glorious and im- I mortal, when contemplated in connection with the de , gradetion of Deland, becomes at once infamous when they see it irr cotineetien with the religious liberty of Scotland. j Te e 11;i:tole—the union between England and Scotland, il _which may God for ever bless, as he has blessed it, and keep the two great nations indissolubly joined in the i e same free he teutions, and under the same paternal throne, I —that Union is the object of their abhorrence. because 1 in that Union is recognised the Presbyterian Church of k Scotland. Such is their language even now; and "if jthese things be done in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry ?"—( Great cheers.) This is the language .vhieh they cannot refrain from holding when your alliance i s necessary. When they implore your aid to persecute \ ethers, they cannot conceal that they are burning to per. ~cute ye urselves.—( Hew, hear.) But observe when s ay this. I speak not very ?ay from it—l speak not of th e whole C on s e rvative party. I well know that there are i many honourable, wise, and good men, whose apprchen -1 ,e one —l !treaty they are unfounded—have been driven—l 1 -rust it ie bat for a time— to range themselves on the same ,je e with the enemies of all reform. Ido not impute these I „pinions to the leaders of the party. These opinions, I I et confident, find no sympathy with the great general to whom it is now proposed to erect a monument worthy of his great exploits and werrhy r.t mut h. autiful and noble city.—( Bear. ) A. tett sympa,n, do ti,ey fi. d with to..t distinguished orator, whose , I,,qte rice ha, made him eee--,- sary to a faction with whom his judgment and .moderation have made him odious.—(Loud cheers .) Bu t this I say, that opinions respecting your Church, such as I have de s,zribed, are held by a large and powerful section . of the Conservative party, who may be emphatically designated party the High Church pay ; and without the support of whom it would be mere madness for any Tory to undertake the administration of affairs in this kingdom.—( Cheers.) This party is the genuine party of Laud —the genuine party of Sacheverell—the party who persecuted Locke —the party who publicly burner , the writings of Milton—the party who for two centuries have waged a constant war against human liberty and human knowledge, with an obstinacy and determination which has never been found in the Cout t of Rome.—(Cheers.) To give an illustration of the true spirit of this party we need not look for instances. There are two parts of their conduct which have re cently attracted notice, and which manifest their true spirit and feelings. Look at their conduct to their Sove reign, and their conduct as respects the privileges of Par liament. It was the boast, the distinguishing glory of the Tory party, that, in all circumstances, they stood faithfully and constantly by the throne. The persons who held the doctrines which connect us together, have never fallen into that species of blind idolatry which seems to us to savour of superstition.—( Cheers.) With the principles in which we have been nursed, we have no difficulty in reconciling the just rights of the people with a decent and manly respect to the Magistrate, whom, fcr their own good, the people have set up. Not such has been the conduct of the Tory party. Throughout the seventeenth century, when the liberties of the English people were struggled for and obtained, that party stood faithfully and constantly by the side of the worst tyrants,—they opposed the house of Brunswick for many years ; and afterwards, when all hope of assistance from Avignon and Rome was taken away, and they were compelled to transfer their allegiance to the house of Hanover, they continued to regard that house with the same idolatrous respect which they had formerly paid to the house of Stuart. Remember—many of you may remember—how reflections upon a reigning sovereign—ay, and in many instances after he had ceased to reign—were treated by that party. In this manner, when Toryism was dominant, did they express their veneration for the Sovereign. But at present a change bas taken place—Toryism is dominant no more; and what do we see ? Tory newspapers abusing the Sove reign—Tory orators speaking of the Sovereign in a nay which, if they bad done thirty years ago, a Tory Attorney-General would certainly have filed a cri minal information against them.—( Cheers.) And all this is listened to with rapture by Tory audiences, and is re warded by presents of gold boxes from Tory corporations. The tenure by which the Sovereign holds the loyalty of that party, which boasts of thei. exclusive loyalty, is sim ply misrule,—the Throne becomes the object of their aver sion as soon as it begins to protect the people.—( Cheers.) In s riot analogy with this is the conduct of the same party as respects the privileges of the House of Commons. The moment that House becomes really a House of Coin mons—they deny its most necessary privileges ; and what do we now see ? In spite of all the exertions of their leader. who is naturally anxious tor the power and dignity of that House in which be bolds so distinguished a place, we see that party labouring by every possible quibble, de vice, and delay, to prevent the House from enforcing its privileges ; and what privilege ? The privilege of sending men to gaol without trial for speaking severely of it? No. But simply the privilege of communicating to their consti tuents, by whom they are chosen, and to whom they are ac countable, that information on which they proceed to legislate.—(Cheers.) These illustrations, I think, are sufficient to enable you to appreciate the character of this party ; for a struggle with that party 1 am now about to leave you. (The Right Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst enthusiastic and long-continued cheering. ) LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

The boisterous state of the weather has occasioned the arrivals of Grain and Flour to be very small. Having little English Wheat for sale, the turn was in favour of the factors, who obtained a little beyond last quotations for the best parcels, and other sorts sold at last prices. Barley, Beans, and Pease unvaried. Good Oats rather dearer, and other qualities firm in value. In the Flour trade there was no improvement. PRICES ON BOARD OF SE IP Wheat, Red (old) .559. 725.

Want of space prevents us from publishing any of them, but indeed they are nearly similar to some tliat have already appeared. CLEVELAND HOUSE ACADEMY, BRIXTON HILL.— As the holidays are nearly over, we were reminded yes terday of a peasant and very instructive entertainment, which we enjoyed some weeks ago at Mr. Day's Academy, Brixton Hill, in which the boys displayed extraordinary proficiency in the several branches of education—Latin, Greek, French, and mathematics, seemed as familiar to them as household words. We suppose that every school has its own peculiar merits as to locality, excellence of management, and strict attention to the morals of the pupils ; and in this sense we do not wish to detract from their pretensions ; but having had personal knowledge of the mode on which Mr. Day's school is conducted, we can conscien tiously recommend it to those who may be in doubt as to the best place for the education of boys who are destined to fight their own way in the world. Money is at all times valuable, but cannot be com manded when most required ; whereas a good solid edu cation is part and parcel of a man's being, and always at his own disposal. Upon this principle nothing requisites ee sp y e o nf u od t r e h n se ce h o o a I n ns at hisro g h oo a wo v dn e is more valuahebhislieefowrfoenrci the power.T seeds o h f e and healthy situations, experienced teachers, and the careful attention of a superintending mind in pro moting and directing the study of the scholars. So far as these are concerned, we have much pleasure in giving Mr. Day our best commendations, and to advise those who wish to place their boys in a seminary where they will be looked after with a paternal attention, to send them to Cleveland House. FATAL ACCIDENT AT WHlTEHALL.—Yes terday evening, at six o'clock, a most appalling accident oc curred to a g entleman who was crosing that part of the new wooden pavement fronting Whitehall, by being run over by an omnibus that was coming from the Elepliant and Castle to Pad dington. The horses knocked him down, and the wheels of the omnibus (which was filled with passengers) passed over his head and killed him on the spot. On his fingers were some valuable rings. The name of the unfortunate sufferer is not known. UNFEELING HOAX —We grieve to say that in ' the course of yes terday evening some person go t ou t a bill, im porting that the state of the poll, at three o'clock, was sixty three majority for Dawson. The effect of this hoax was to cau s e th e Tories to revive, and bet on the result like madmen. At Peter Lisson's, and other Tory houses, much money was ! lost, and grog enough to drown a church dignitary. We do not hold with thus trifling with the feelings of our Tory friends. Instern Times.

HIGH-WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO- ORRO eV. Morning...... 33 minute after Evening 4 minutes atter ti 17 - Lt -T: 414• . " 3 „. 7 s.pt,% - w • • , • .1,, Win 'aln. LONDON : MONDAY, JANUARY 27, Is4o. Parliament has now sat eight days, the Tories are in opposition, and it is generally from the oppo sition that the people expect assistance to obtain a redress of grievances. What, then, have the Tories done in those eight days, or what have they announced as intending to do, for the public advan tage ? On the first day of the Session the Tory Lords insisted on adding the epithet " Protestant, in their Address, to the name of Prince ALBERT, and one of them, very ignorant, apparently, of the tenets of Mr. OWEN and the Socialists, used his senatorial privilege to denounce a body of his countrymen and the Prime Minister, for introducing their leader to the QUEEN. Since then, one of the Tory Lords, " the Tribunes of the poor," has delivered a speech on our financial difficulties, which went to recommend immediate additional taxation ; and a Bishop, a professed teacher of Gospel love and blessed charity, has invoked the terrors of the law against the S'ocialists. Follow ing up that most mischievous policy, on which the Tories out of doors have acted for the last two years, of attacking different orders of men, and of adding theological strife, about things unseen and unknown, to the terrible contentious which have grown up between the hard material interests of society, embittelin t ,g the great dispute betwixt capi tal anti labour by the :aricour of religious dissen sions, the Bishop of EXF,TER, on Friday night, abused the privilege of Parliament, and delivered a truculent and virulent lecture against Socialism. He ought to have challenged Mr. OWEN to meet him at Exeter Hall, and then there might have been fair play. In the Peers ail the talk was on one side. At the same time the Bishop described the Socialists as a numerous and a growing sect, and his remedy—the Church and Tory remedy--for the great contentions which now afflict society, is to commence an additional one, to increase the mili tary and police force, and put down Socialism by the sword. Such is the redress of grievances which the Tory Peers offer to the people. In the Commons they have questioned the date of a diplomatic note ; they have presented several petitions for more Church ; they have endeavoured to throw dirt on the Penny-postage, because they feel some little inconvenience in sending off letters at an earlier, and receiving them at a later, hour than usual ; and have given notices of a motion to turn out the Ministers. Not one gracious or kind measure have they announced, and not one do they propose. They are intently anxious to get hold of office—the public welfare is no matter for their con sideration. In the country at large the Tories have been for many months past brewing discord. Heretofore political warfare has been generally confined to rival monarchs and their followers, to Ministers and their partizans, but the Tories have set the example of inflaming the passions of class against class, and sect against sect, as the means of obtaining office for themselves. In Parliament they are following out the practices they have inculcated out of Parliament ; and Sir JOHN YARDE BULLIrR'S motion is intended to float the Tories into office at the head of the waters of sectarian strife. What may be the ruinous consequences of such conduct to the nation they care not, but we must briefly advert to them. A cry has gone forth amongst the Chartists of down with the Whigs and up with the Tories. Why? The Chartists expect from the rule of the Tories new measures of coercion, and they foresee a quar rel between them and the Catholics. From the accession of the Tories to office there is sure to be more discontent, and a great increase in the power of the Chartists to effect their own objects. The Tories have proclaimed an extension of the Church, an increase in the nuinber and in the revenues of the Priesthood, a more severe execution of the law, however uniust and barberous it may be, still fur ther restraints on the liberty of meeting publicly, and on the press, the repeal of the Catholic Emancipation Act, the curtailment of the " abo minable Reform Act, as the means by which they contemplate giving peace to the empire. Such a policy would at once strengthen and embitter the numerous and increasing enemies of the Church and the present Constitution, and hasten the ruin which impends over our present political organization. n g repeal a n o d f the ata r v a i c n c g u r t s h e e d w C n o r r ii n i - n la 7 w s From the T or i es t h ere c ould be no hopes of a i which, by stint. classes, and setting them an example of one class enriching itself at expensetbhyephyaphysical al w o a f n tan moral a another by influence, ndn ala w e r e i , s them, both overturn the existing Constitution. The Tories, consisting mainly of country gentlemen. are pledged to maintain tlinp laws, which, by their gross and palpable inju:itice, ovokz attacks on property and contempt for authority. They have done more to unsettle the respect and weaken the confidence of the people in the religion and law of the land, than all the teaching of the Socialists and the Chartists. Without the Corn-laws they would have been powerless, and those laws, which are all-powerful elements of anarchy, the Tories would preserve. From the reign of the Tories, then, the nation has nothing to expect but starvation, coercion, re bellion, and bloody revolution. The anarchists, who are by no means few, know this ; the wildly-ambitious men, who catch only at power, careless of the cost, know this ; the strong willed public writers of the day, whose home is in the turbid currents and broken waters of pol,tical contention, know this ; the knavish and pretended fanatics, who look for the people being released from the ordinary restraints of law, and turned from the peaceful paths of cheerful industry to extend their dominion over the mind, know this ; all the great host of quacks in religion and politics, who can only be thrown like scum to the surface by a great agitation, and who, in times of peace and calmness are derided and contemned, know this ; and all these classes swell the loud and appaling cry of Up with the Tories ; up with the enemies of progressive social improvement ; up with the sturdy opponents of all the natural laws which regulate society, so that anarchy may be sure to prevail, and we may get wealth and power in the scramble I We conclude from the speeches of the Bishops of EXETER and LONDON on Friday night, that the Prelates are about to step forward as great po litical and moral Reformers. That is a character which we like to see them in, and we would beg respectfully to direct their attention to a great vio lation of the laws of Nature and GOD, a great national crime, the source of almost boundless mischief, which it will become them to denounce, and which, we beg to inform them, they have the power to remove. For the opinions of the So cialists, be they true or be they false, the Bishops are not responsible ; but they are in part for every law which exists. False theories of morality, false and unworthy notions of the DEITY, they cannot prevent other men from forming ; unjust laws they can condemn as hostile to religion, and obtain the repeal of them. Now there is a law on the Statute Book, a law of the Bishops enact ing in part, for they never protested against it, a law for which they are responsible—which starves multitudes of their fellow-creatures out of existence every year, which inflicts on still greater multitudes the pains of hunger and sickness, which impedes the extension of those beneficial commercial rela tions between different nations which are the surest bonds of peace—a law which, by causing hunger and idleness, and by cutting off intercourse, nourishes bad passions, both in individuals and nations, and which sets the baneful example of con tinually violating one of the commandments. This law, if denounced by the assembled Bishops in Parliament, and by their orders denounced from the pulpit as contrary to Christianity, contrary to nature, and contrary to the peace and prosperity of society, would, we are quite sure, be speedily repealed. On the Bishops, therefore, and on the Priesthood, lays the awful responsibility of main taining and preserving the anti-Christian, the ac cursed Corn-law. While they are denouncing the Socialists for their speculative errors, the Prelates of the Church of England are the authors and abettors of the very worst crimes they predict will be the consequence of the Socialist theories. Every monstrous evil which the Bishop of EXETER pre tends to dread from the doctrines of the Socialists, is now inflicted on the land, by laws made by him and his brethren. He rails against men for not believing, as he and his brethren believe ; let us inform him that they are not bribed as he and his brethren are, to believe in a peculiar manner. Let him only con trive a means to give every man in the land an income equal to that of the See of Exeter, as t h e reward of orthodoxy, and there will not remain one unbeliever in the empire. Let the lay Peers, too, only find the means to give every man an income of 1,0001. a year, which is probably less than is en joyed by any Peer, and there will not be found in the wide dominions of her MAJESTY a single man less attached to the Constitution, both in Church and State, than Lord WYNFORD or the Earl of WINCHILsEA. Though the abolition of the taxes on food would not give the bulk of the people 1,0001. a-year, and would not bribe them to orthodoxy by a revenue equal to that of the See of Exeter, it would enable honest and industrious men to get a living easily, and would, if anything now can, which we fear nothing can, re store the Law and the Established Religion to the respect and confidence of the people. The moral danger with which the Social System of Mr. ROBERT OWEN and his followers is said to threaten the country, is not likely to be dimi nished by the generally expressed horror with which the Bishop of EXETER'S exposition of that system was received on Friday evening last in the House of Lords. Unhappily the great bulk of the h L a o d rd t s o i o ii psmatnoyt their rofst true efs to indifference pay m much c f h t their iudustrious classes of t h e U n i te d Ki ng d om h ave i t n h t e e r est re gard to such exhibitions of their zeal for the cause of virtue and morality. Were the system of Mr. OwEN intended to add to the dignity and power of their Lordships, to treble the emoluments of the State Priesthood, to render the working portion of the community more dependent, if possible, upon what are termed the upper classes, there are few iwho would undertake to say that such a system would not be hailed by the Bench of Bishops and the hereditary Aristocracy as deserving of the greatest encouragement. It is not when the pure, the divine principles of Christianity are menaced, that we find the House of Lords, in a state of virtuous commotion, endea vouring to apply some remedy to the evil. It is not Christianity, but Priestianity, with which the House of Lords identifies itself. The religion . of the Redeemer teaches that all men are brethren, that it is the duty of a follower of the Cross to forgive his enemies, to retain not a second garment while a fellow-creature is at hand without one ; but the religion of the House of Lords teaches that all men are born unequal, that enemies are not to be overcome with love, but by the sword, and that the first duty of a Peer is to maintain his dignity, or, in other words to fare sumptuously, to possess immense wealth, and abundance of luxuries, while thousands of his so-called co-religionists are perishing for want of a mouthful of bread. The holy propagators of the Christian religion, from whom the Bishop of EXETER claims a direct suc cession, were commanded to possess neither gold nor silver ; what their followers had, the Acts of the Apostles expressly states they enjoyed in com mon ; and it was for endeavouring secretly to keep back part of their goods from the common stock, that ANANIAS and his wife were struck dead at the feet of ST. PETER. And yet in the face of these facts, attested by the authority of the New Testa ment, the Bishop of EXETER has the effrontery to tell the House of Lords, and the Christian people of England, that to p rea ch a commun i ty of g oods is to attack th e f un d ame ntal principles of Chris , tianity I We are not here advocating such a doe trine ; we are merely exposing the inconsistency of the Right Rev. Prelate as a teacher of Chris tianity. Wnat th e p ecu liar tenets of Mr. OWEN s sect arc, we do not know one-tenth pelt so well as the right Reverend Prelate appears to do. We never read the New Moral World, nor any of the numerous publications for the dissemination of the doctrines of Socialism ; but, as they have been thought of importance enough to attract the notice of the House of Lords, it will become our duty to make ourselves acquainted with them. But, though we know nothing of the New Moral World, we are conversant viith the principles of the religion of uHRISe, as tau g ht b y himself, and preached by Apostles; and our conviction is, that nothing can exceed the impolicy of the clerical Peers in in voking those sacred principles for the condemnation of any sect of moralists We must, howevt.r, do the Bishop of EXETE R the justice to state, that he was sufficiently cauti ous in his appeals to the Gospel, ! and that he seemed to trust more to the powers of the ATTORNEY -GENERAL and the vigilance of , the Magistracy, than to the innate force o truth, Having been apprised that the o,.ialists h a d . money-,,that they were i n a condition to purchase estates-, the lordly Prelate saw no way of con . futine i them so effectu a l as by setting the myrmidons of the HONE SECRETARY at theta. This Willno; do, Eventhe House of Lordswiil' not 1.;,e pgr. i ' r l t Ii conse is gross conissiw) (1, ' Lion of the people of the Clergy of the Established Church—to a body of persons having the deepest interest ill keeping them in a state of deplorable igno rance, such principles as the Bishop of EYE TER says ire taught by the Socialkt.s wou4l not hr.. listened t o ;‘, much loss in ao 0; beings. That the Cler, v sha , n,klH: abused their trust was admitted by the Bishop of LONDON, when he stated that such was the igno rance of a great portion of the people, that it was absolutely necessary that their Lordships shou!d protect them against the influence of the Owenites. And yet these are the men who cry out against the taking the education of the people out of their hands ! There is unquestionably a good deal of general intelligence among the wotking.classes— ten times more than is dreamed of by the House of Lords ; but that intelligence having been ac quired, for the most part, in spite of ob stacles thrown in their way by the Clergy of the Established Church, it only serves to embitter the animosity between them. The more they feel the benefits of education, the more they resent the conduct of those guardians of the national morals who would have deprived them of it. This feeling they communicate to their chil dren, and thus it unfortunately happens that. in proportion as education spreads among the working classes, the leaitimate and natural influence of the Clergy diminishes. It is too late in the day to attempt to dragoon the people into orthodoxy. The friends of the Established Church mast seek some other mode of maintaining its ascendency than by the sword of the Civil Magistrate. The most effectual way to do this will be by compelling the Clergy to do their duty as Christian pastors. When a body of men whose character and office are sacred ; whose declared functions consist in the performance of works of benevolence and mercy ; whose time ought to be devoted to the inculcation, by precept and example, of the duty of glorifying GOD and diffusing habits of peace, charity, mutual forbear ance, and Christian piety among men ; who have stately edifices, in which they only are permitted to address the people, and who are irresponsible for the subject-matter of such addresses ; who, from our entrance into life to ow exit, take cognizance of all we do, say, and think—when such a body of men are not in a manner idolised by the people, it must be apparent to the whole world that the fault is their own. They must have abused the trust reposed in them, and instead of feeding, first fleeced, and afterwards devoured their flocks. Now, such a reform in the ecclesi astical co: mration as shall restore the confi dence of the people in the Clergy, can never take place so long as the sphere of Prelatical duties is confined, as for the most part at present, to the , Aristocratic atmosphere of the House of Lords. The Bishops must give up politics, and betake hemselvet to their respective dioceses to study the Scriptures among the poor and the humble, and to set their Clergy an example of how they ought to labour in the LORD'S vineyard. This is the true and the only way to strike at all that is pernicious in the system of the Socialists. We regret the loss of the Beverley election, though from the corrupt state of that borough we thought the case hopeless from the first. No man could have fought a more gallant battle than Mr. LAMIE MURRAY, and, from his eloquent vindica tion of the measures of the present Administration, and his manly and masterly expose of the obstruc tive policy of the Tories in working on the preju dices of the people, has struck a death blow to Tory popularity in that part of Yorkshire. The excitement in his favour, which has extended itself to Hull, is said to be unprecedented, by the oldest observers of election contests in those places. The state of the poll must not be looked upon as any indication of Tory success, as it was obtained by the most unscrupu lous and lavish bribery ; and many a voter who was thus compelled to vote for Mr. Fox, openly stated immediately after he had polled, that he wished success to the other candidate. Mr. LAMIE MURRAY iS a man of comprehensive mind, pos sessed of both brilliant talents and eloquence, and thoroughly instructed in all questions, both foreign and domestic, having a practical influence on the state of the country. He would do honour to any constituency, and to any Government who could obtain his support in Parliament. We shall give a full account of the proceedings to-morrow. Advices from Lisbon of the 20th instant repre sent the people of Portugal as quite furious against this country, in consequence of the vigour which her Britannic MAJESTY'S Government are dis playing in the suppression of the slave trade. In the Chamber of Deputies on the 18th, Senhor CELESTINO SOARES read letters from Angola stating that four more Portuguese vessels were cap tured near Angola by the British cruisers. The Chamber was instantly in a ferment, and nothing short of a declaration of war against England ap peared likely to satisfy a majority of the Mem hers. The D iario, the official journal, of the 20th, contains the following details of the captures of Portuguese vessels alluded to by Senhor CELESTINO SOARES in the Chamber : By the Oriense brig, which arrived here in forty two days from Angola, having left there on the 4th of December, accounts of new hostilities by British cruisers have been received, which had filled the in habitants with alarm and indignation. Tw o Por ,uguese ships which left Loanda with regular papers ind lawful cargoes, were seized." The Mario ,2;oes on to relate that the barque Vcloz having left Loanda for Monte Video on the 12th November. calling at Zaire to discharge various goods mani fested at the Custom-house, and take in ballast, the English brig Wolverine, Captain TUCKER, anchored beside her, and searched her without find ing any marks of being employed in slave trading ; but the day following she was boarded again by the brig and captured—the captain and nine black sailors being put on board the brig, and the rest being forced to embark in canoes of the Mussorongi tribes. A few days afterwards the brig Dous lrmaos, which left Loanda for Rio on the 26th November with a cargo of wax, oil,. &c., was met on the following day by the English brig of war Columbine, Captain ELLIOT, the same who had already sunk two other ships at Zaire, and captured by him, putting the crew and passengers, and among them the French Doctor LAPLACE, on board the schooner Despique da Inveja, from Ca binda to Loanda, sending the ship, captain, and one sailor, to Sierra Leone, giving as the reason of such an extraordinary proceeding, that the hull of the vessel was of Spanish construction. The Nacional adds that the Tagus itself is blockaded. One Portuguese vessel was boarded and searched in the harbour of Lisbon, and another having cleared out with regular papers was chased for three days by an English cruiser, from which she only escaped by her superior sailing. In fact, nothing is more obvious than that our Government i s determined to put down the slave trade at all hazards. As to the statements of the Portuguese Journals about the seizure of vessels unconnected with that monstrous traffic, they are wholly incredible. We have received Singapore Papers to the 10th ~f October. Letters received of the 9th September from Hong-Kong state that a further Edict of Lin, and just translated, calls upon all the natives to pur,:base arms and assemble in strong forces to prevent the Br►tish landing, and if they try to ob tain prlvisions, to exterminate or make them prisoners. Letters from Constantinople, of the 31st ult., bring rather alarming accounts from central Asia. They state, on the authority of advices received there from Erzeroum, that the Shah of Herat, KAM RAM, the old enemv of the Shah SooJAH 00L- MooLK, disgusted' at our restoration of that mo. nareh to the throne of Cahool, to which KAM RAN pretends to be the rightful heir, has invited the shah of Persia to march an army to Herat, to unite with him in driving the Shah SOOJATI from, the throne. To this invitation the sh a t of Persia is reported to have lent delighted ear, the more • specially as the agents of Russia, had assured him tittit the qpeditiou• undertalim against KHIVA would so co-operate him as to enable him to hid defiatwe in England, and even to drive the I,2ii k h out of the Persian Gulf.

The cere mony was exceedingly grand and imposing. A letter addressed by Captain DRIVER, of the Greenlaw, relative to the Mauritius affair, to one of our Tory Contemporaries, is severely commented on by all the Paris Journals. They would have acted with more discretion had they passed over without notice such an absurd specimen of Bobad.l braggadocio. Captain DRIVER'S letter ought rather to have amused than annoyed our Gallic Contemporaries. The race accustomed to impugn the honour and courage of Frenchmen is pretty nearly extinct in England. A letter from Toulon states that the effective French force in Africa does not exceed 48,000 men, which is but the peace establishment voted by the Chambers. - krr:ar. The Moniteur of Friday publishes a telegraphic despatch from Foix, which states that the cattle fair was held there on the 20th, and passed off peaceably. There was a great deal of business done, and the new rates of tariff were paid without a murmur. The elections in the northern provinces of Spain commenced on the 19th. and in Guipuzcoa—tl►e only province where the result was known in Paris —the Liberals obtained a decided triumph.

The packet sails to-morrow morning, and will take home account° as favourable as those that were given since the arrival of our new ruler ; it will be seen, however, that the Assembly, after a sitting of nearly nine weeks, has ad journed over to the 17th March, having passed a number of very important Bills, and got through an immense mass of business At the Fourth Meeting, the President brought before the consideration of the Society the faculty termed by Gall that of stratagem or artfulness. After reading Gall's statement of the necessity for such a faculty in animals, and of its various degrees and manifestations in men and brutes, and the abundant proofs of its depend ence upon a particular portion of the brain, he re marked that Dr. Spurzheim gives an erroneous ac. count of Gall's discovery of the organ, in saying that Gall, from the prevalence of cunning in man kind, soon conceived the idea of looking for its organ in the brain, and first observed it particu larly in a person who was deeply in debt, but had the address to cheat his creditors, and even his mother, of large sums of money, and died of phthisis under the care of Gall. But Gall had noticed the relation of ex treme cunning, with an enormous breadth above the temples, in a schoolfellow, when his phrenological views first opened upon liim ; he afterwards observed the same organiz ition in another shy schoolfellow, and the person alluded to by Dr. Spurzheim is mentioned by Gill as the third a..,1 did not become known to him till he was practice.

Brandy—Well supplied, and no wholesale demand. Gin—Stock reduced, but the market well supplied. Cotton Goods—Plain, printed, and coloured. The imports during the week have been rather heavy, and stocks previously very large. The Bugia traders are now arriving, although slowly, and there is some improve ment in demand, but none in pricey. Twist Gray Mule continues to be imported in large quan tities, and the stock is now equal to two or three years' consumption ; there is rather more demand however. We have received Demerara papers to the 14th Dec.

Woollens—We have not yet heard of any transacti , ans. Scarlet and Spanish stripes are inquired for, but very-, low/ prices offered. The PRESIDENT considered Dr. Spurzheim's infe riority to Gall was shown in his attempt to consider this faculty, not with Gali, as artfulness, but simply as concealment, and in his inventing a new term for it, secretiviM—secretiveness. The answer given him by Gall is, "in all the actions of men and brutes, adduced by Dr. Spurzheirn for its illustration, I see only artfulness, dissimulation. Why overload the language with terms that nobody would guess the meaning of ?" The President adduced as an argument against Dr. Spurzheim, that at' artful person, asking a favour pr mother whom he knows to be vain, might praige his talents and allude to his rank and riches, without over ;tepping th.• bounds of truth an inch—without asserting what was not mill true, and even without concealing, when he began his address, the object of his applica tion ; and that this, nevertheless, would be consummate cunning —but cunning solely to put the person in good humour. Another fanny of Dr. Spurzheim's, that this faculty renders people reserved and secret, he opposed by the fact that many reserved people are not at all given to stratagem, and are merely disinclined to commu nication ; whereas others, who manage their affairs adroitly, have no habitual reserve, and are secret only when compassing a particular end ;—by the f tct of a reserved and silent man being very different from an artful and sly man.

DUBLIN, JAN, 24.-- The Synod of Mater have given in their adhesion to the National System of Education. For the last two months or upwards negotiations have been going on between the Elders of the above respected body and the Comraissivlrtrs of National Education, which have at length terminted as I ;have stated above. This has been effected in a great degree through the instru— mentality of ills Excellency, with whom the majority the C'bmissioners and the principal members of the Synod (among whom was the distinguished Dr. Coo'ce), had the honour.of dining yesterday on the occasion. The adhesion of the Presbyterian Body may be said to I* on. qualifipci, for although there has been a concession on the part of the Board, it is of a perfectly unimportant enaracter. T' GLENGARRY. —We learn that the present Chief of the ancient sept or clan Macdonnell, namely, Mr. Macdonnell of Glengarry, is preparing to embark for Australia, with his family and dependents. He is constructing timber heusee, and furnishing himself with various agricultural imple ments, and other conveniences, for residence in that distant region. Mr. Matalennell was compelled some time since to dispose of most of the property, which was heavily mortgaged , and encurelleeett by his father, the late well-known Glengarry, anti-Corn-law 11 b sent off in whose character, in its more favourable lights, was drawn by pe ----e titi; ----. ns wi _- Sir Welter Scott, in his hero, Fergus ,Mqvor.
