Before entering into the merits of Mx. JONES LOYD'S pamphlet, we must say a word or two on the erroneous notion which he seems to share, with many other persons, that bank notes are money, and that to issue such notes is a trespass or infringe ment on the Royal prerogative. Let us begin by looking at what the privilege of coining, as now exercised, actually consists in. First, the Royal authority declares and settles what quantity of alloy shall g' with the precious metals, into what portions, they shall be divided, and how they shall be stamped and marked. It makes Min regulations isTow,:so little is there of arbitrariness even in these, that at this moment a discussion is going on, 'not in the Mint, but in the public press, as to the mode of dividin the coins, and science alone., not the Royal prerogative can lay down just Miles for the division. In fact, nearly . all that Royal power can do on this point, is to decree the heraldic ornaments of the coin, and one or two other trifling matters, which it settles by the help •f the King-at-Arms, the chemist, and the assayist. Secondly, The Mint determines the proportions in which silver and copper money shall exchange 1 for gold money. It cannot det erm i ne th e va l ue o f any single coin in the market, for that depends on 1 its own intrinsic qualities, and on the estimate 1 Psrmed of it by the public. Neither can it deter ' aline the relative value of the metals; and the Mint regulation, that so much silver is worth so much gold, is, generally speaking, a most mischievous ( i untruth, which is continually falsified by the prices I of the two metals in the market. We apprehend ithat these two operations—the former of which is if useful, as enab!ing the people easily to distinguish 1 one coin from anoth e r, an d t h e ot h er an injury— ! are all that the Govern ment can d o in eoinng money. It settles the outward form and size Of the individual pieces, but over all the substantial pro iperties of the metals it has no more influence than over the seasons. It cannot settle the value of money in relation to Other commodities, and if it fix the relative value of silver and gold different from the market value, one or the other will disappear from eiteulation . Nor can the Government, which is of infinitely more importance, regulate the quantity of stoney in circulation. Both points are amply proved by the great alteration which took place is the value of the precious metals subsequent to the discovery of America, when that value fell very much, and continued to fall, for many years. No Government bad the smallest influence either in hastening or in retarding, by its Mint regulations, that remarkable change in the quantity and value of gold and silver. Sintte the commencement of this century, in conse quence of the rapid increase of population and trade, throughout the civilized world, conjoined ,rith the tevolutions in South America, which have Croinished the supplies from the mines, it is sup posed that a contrary effect has taken place, and that the value of gold and silver, in reference to the bulk of commodities, has been enhanced, and is enhanc ing:At :1 . s the quantity, therefore, of the precious meta habtairtable, in relation to the business to be traris scieCwnlch determines at all times, and in all ~~%~' countries, the value of the money in circulation, and not the Royal prerogative or Mint regulations. This fact is particularly applicable to our country, into which the precious metals are freely imported, and from which they are freely exported. If the Government did, or could, restrict the quantity of money, it might settle the value ; but having no power whatever over the quantity of money brought into the country or put into circulation, its prerogative of coining money is about as empty a shadow, for any good or great purpose, as its prerogative to receive all forfeitures. In former times, indeed, the KING'S prerogative over money extended much further. He used to debase it to pay his debts—to alter its value to cheat his creditors. Every Sovereign in Europe exercised his Royal prerogative in that mode, and caused, as has been justly said, more confusion and misery amongst his subjects, than pestilence, war, or famine. Many such acts at length forced on the public mind a conviction that it was not safe to trust the Royal rogues with such a power over• the property of their subjects; and whatever the wisdom or the folly of any Legislature may now command, for our Sovereign to exercise the prerogative of debasing the coin would be considered a most dan gerous stretch of power. We conclude that the Royal prerogative of coining money is at present limited to dividing and stamping the precious metals, which are imported and carried to the Mint by indivi duals. The Government does that duty, too, accord ing to an established custom, the errors of which science is daily exposing ; while over the quan tity and value of the coined money, except as it degrades, by a very stupid regulation, silver into counters, it exercises neither prerogative nor power. That modern Legislatures are not much wiser than Kings were honest in former times, seem proved by the circumstance that the same Legisla ture which degrades silver to be a counter, and de nies it to be an actual payment, has falsely declared that the promises to pay of the Bank of England are an actual payment. Now we wish to ask Mr. L01(1), and those who eall issuing promises to pay coining money, in whist the resembkince corsists, or in what way any merchant, banker, or other man who borrows money or goods from his neighbours, giving them a written promise to pay that money on demand or the price of the goods at any specified time, in terferes with the prerogative of the Crown ? He strikes no money, he assigns no relative value to the coins in circulation, he says nothing about the amount of alloy, or the heraldic insignia on the coin ; he imitates not, counterfeits not the coin of the realm ; he merely promises, by a legal docu ment, to pay his friends what he borrows from them. By such a promise he dispenses with the n use of money, and enables others to dispense with, it ; but the banker thereby no more trespasses on the prerogative than a man does who defends his home from thieves without calling in the aid of the Police. The banker is not the only tradesman who thus dispeases with the Ong's money. Every other trader who gives a bill due in two or three months for the goods he purchases, is as much a tregpas,er on the prerogative, and as much a coiner, es the bank. Bills, as well as bank-notes, are tha representatives of commercial credit, and are no mod) coining money than transferring an estate by a vvrislan parchment is the creation of land and rent. We are quite aware that by this use of paper less money is required, and that the issue of it has the same effect eas increasing the quantity of gold and silver, in wising the prices of commodities. But the Government does not regulate the quantity of gold and silver—does not, therefore, regulate these prices ; and the banker interferes, by his issue of his notes, with nothing which the Government either does or IMO do. His conduct substitutes credit for coin, which is an immense advantage, and without that substitute the progress of society must be delayed. There will be, no doubt, long discussions on banging and currency during the next Session, and it is, therefore, of great importance to settle the principles of the subject. Whether bank-notes be a coining of money or not, lies at the bottom of all the discussions which have of late taken place on the question of Government interfering with bankers. If the issue of paper promises to pay be a coining of money, Governments may possibly regu late it as well, at least, as they have regulated the actual coinage of the world in past times. If it be not a coining of money but a circulation of com mercial credit, there is no more reason to suppose that Governments can manage it well, than that they can regulate the whole buying and selling of every man in the community. Most ignorantly and most injuriously have Governments, in the exercise of their prerogative, cloak with coin, and the proposi tion to place under their control the inappreciable and delicate instrument called commereial credit ought not to be countenanced for a moment. From confounding the two distinct things of coining money and issuing credit notes many very sagacious writers, unwarned by the innumerable evils which Sovereigns have inflicted on their people by dabbling with the currency, would madly extend the power of Government to dabbling with com mercial credit. We may perhaps say some thing further on banking, but we protest at once against the application of the same rules to coining money and issuing promises to pay money. The two things are totally different, have different origins, and are regulated by different laws. Whatever may be the case with money, bank ing, with the issue of bank notes, is a branch of trade growing out of the division of labour, like hat making or stocking weavlg ; and the Govern ment has no more business with it than with an► other industrial occupation in the community. We regret to see that amongst the inhabitants of Sheffield, notwithstanding the laudable exertions of the Woriing Men's Association, a great num ber prefer a vain chase after Universal Suffrage to the practical repeal of the Corn-law. On Mon day last, at a public meeting, the Chartists fairly put the Corn-law repealers to flight, and passed resolutions against the whole machinery of the Government — a t which the Tories exult. The Corn-law repealers adjourned to another spot, and passed their resolutions. They were supported by as many as five or six thousand persons ; still it is for us lamentable that in Sheffield, where EBE.• NEZER ELLIOTT has laboured so long and so un interruptedly against the bread tax, and where its operatian is peculiarly pernicious, such a large mass of persons should be found to chase after theo retical benefit and sacrifice a great practical good. It is the more lamentable, because, in 'fact, Uni versal Suffrage now in reality exists. Every man has not a vote for a law-maker ; from that Put—that small part of public action, many are unfortunately and unwisely excluded ; but no man is excluded from forming an opinon and swelling by his voice that grand chorus of thought, which, under the name of public opinion, rules the Legislature, and rules the nation. Mr. GILL and his Sheffield friends ought to be convinced by the use the Tories make of their opinion, that, though not represented in Parliament, they are powerful in the country. We have some doubts whether Mr. F. O'CONNOR have a vote for a representative, but no man can deny that he has more influence than any half-dozen electors of THR SUN. LON DON‘ TUP:SDAY, JANUARY 7, IP4O. Leeds. The influence Of Mr. O'CONNELL, Mr. GILL himself, Mr. EBENEZER ELLIOTT, and a great multitude of other persons, is by no rums circumscribed by their votes or commensurate to their power to elect 'Members of Parliament. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS, (MONDAY EynNiNDO HERALD. —The dcfßittitiOn In the ravenue, as Shown by the official returns Which have been published tc.day, has been se fully anticipated by practical men and those whose interest it is to watch the progres of the country's income and expenditure § that it has had no effect whatever upon the value of Our British securities; indeed, it would seem as though the monetary power of England had almost ren dered the public securities and money credit of the country completely " scathe free" from the evil doings of thoso who preside for the present over the destinies of this country, The Legislature does not control public opinion, but public opinion influences and controls the Legis lature. Accordingly the power of any single individual is commensurate to his talents, not to his votes. As the ruling power, public opinion has only lately become manifest, while the notion that the law and the Legislature govern the nation is of old forma tion ; it is not surprising, therefore, that the working classes should adhere to the old notion, and seize the instrument they seek by the wrong end ; it is nevertheless lamentable, when they are actually in possession of it, when they could in stantly use it to beat down the iniquitous Corn laws, to see them ignorant of the fact, and blindly use their power to injure themselves. " The hour." says the Quarterly Review, just pub lished, " has at length arrived, at which the humblest individual in our community is enabled to say to those, whoever they may be, who are seen to wield authority wickedly-- Great disappointment has prevailed here to-day amongst ail parties connected with our East Indian possessions at the non -arrival of the overland mail ; and increasing anxiety prevails for the arrival of the Liverpool from New York. By the Leonora, which has arrived at Havre, hav ing sailed from Hampton Roads, Richmond, Virginia, U. S., on the 10th ult., it appears that the President's Speech had not reached any of the sea-board towns of that portion of the United States on the Bth ult. Money has been rather more in demand upon the Eng lish Stock Exchange to-day, and there appears to be a growing inclination on the part of capitalists to make in vestments in Consols and other securities that c m be ren dered easily available ; indeed so serious is the real state of the industrial power of this community, which has become comparatively torpid in the midst of wealth, that it cannot well be wondered at that capital should be temporarily withdrawn from commercial employment. PO ST.—The English Funds were nearly stationary all day, with little doing. Consols left off at 92i to for the Opening, and Exchequer Bills at Is. to 3s, prem. The operations in the Foreign Funds were mere important‘ than usual, the principal dealings being , in the Peninsular Securities. The Five per Cent. Portuguese Bonds left off at an improvement of and the Threes at that of about I per cent. on Satur day's closing prices. This advance is owing to the expectation held out to the holders by the new Ministers of Donna Maria that something will, after all, be done for their relief—that they will, in fact, be put upon something like a footing of equality with the home credit or . fl ow . this may turn out it is difficult to surmise. Si vous m'opprime€, at vos grandcurs dedaignent. Les pleurs des inneccns, que vous faites couler, Mon vengeur est au ciel ; apprenez a tretni,ler." So the working men could now, if they pleased, by a union with the Corn-law repeaters, soon teach the Corn-law-making landlords that they could be their own avenger, and make the landlords repeal the iniquitous Corn-laws. They, however, have a notion that the repeal of the Corn-laws would benefit their masters ; and such is Low, we deeply regret to say, the hostile feeling of many of the working classes, that they spite themselves to pre vent the masters reaping a benefit. We admit that the masters seek for the repeal only to benefit themselves ; but it would also benefit the working classes, and therefore they ought to demand it. By the repeal their position to their masters would be changed. The supply of food would be enlarged, and the masters would seek workmen instead of workmen seeking employment They would then be better able to defend them selves against the power of the masters, which they dread, than now. Moreover, if they should then require assistance against their masters, the de feated landlords, envious of the trade lords, would assist them in obtaining protection and justice. Their true policy, therefore, is first to aid the mas ters in obtaining a repeal of the Corn-laws, and then, if necessary, unite with the landlords to se cure protection for their own interests against their masters. Great Western Railway Shares were quoted 2 dis. to par ; London and Brighton to 11 dis. ; London and Blackwell to I die. ;. London and Croydon 4to 3i did. ; St. John del Rey Mine 5 to i; and United Mexi can 2i to per share. The committee of Spanish American bondholders had another interview with the New Granada Commissioner, Senor Mosquera, on Saturday, on the subject of the pro posed compromise of the proportion of the Colombian debt applicable to that State; but it resulted in nothing more satisfactory. Much disappointment was again evinced this morning at the continued absence of the Liverpool steamer from New York, now so many days overdue. Several of the New York sailing packets are almost equally out of time. SUN.—Nothing has been heard in the City up to this hour of either the Liverpool steamer from Ame rica, or the overland mail from India. The tea sales were heavy up to the close. Of 14,000 packages offered only 4,000 were sold, Twankays being 4d. and Congous 3d. per lb. lower than at the December sales. The Stock Market closed very firmly : Consolg with the dividend at 92} -5., and ex-dividend at 90- to 91 ; Exchequer Bills brought 3s. to Is. premium, and the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 99 ex-div. Spanish Bonds rather recovered the depression of the morning, leaving off at 24i „I, and Portuguese New Five per Cents. improved to 351 36. Mexican rose also after the middle of the day to 301 and Brazil Stock dropped to 71k. There was a general upward movement in all the Shares. The Great Western rose to par, the new shares to 1 discount ; the Brighton to 11 discount ; the Birmingham to 59 60 premium, the quarter shares to IN premium ; the Midland Counties to 20 discount, mid the New North Midland to 3i premium. London Joint-Stock Bank Shares rallied to 21 premium. Our opinion is, however, that they would not need assistance. At present the master, who comes immediately into contact with them, is driven by the Corn-laws to be their oppressor. That makes him an object of hatred. Like the farmer, he is an instrument, though he is an unwilling instru ment, for levying the Corn-tax on the people. He is continually driven by its pressure on himself, to press it out of his workmen ; and if there were no Corn law the master, getting a fair profit, would have no excuse for being a screw. Without his men he cannot live ; his well-being is bound up with theirs, as the present circumstances of both dis tinctly prove ; and we, therefore, believe that the workmen would not need, were the Corn-law abolished, to seek help from landlords against their masters. It is the cursed bread tax which, amongst its many other mischievous effects, nurtures the seeds of strife betwixt classes who are as essential to the well-being and perfection of each other as are the piston ana.the cylinder to the'working of a steam engine. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL N VMS. CITY, TirELra O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, JAN. 6.—The market tf-day assumed a very healthy appearance. The sales amounted to 7,000 bags at steady prices to the trade. Arrivals this morning—French mail. No ship letters. We have again a very black morning in respect to ar rivals. The only one at present is the tumid French mail, The public"and merchants continue astonished at the n )n-artivals from the United States, winch causes great inconvenience, particularly to those who expect remit- tutees from that quarter. The wind having shifted to the n )rth-east, in all probability we stay expect the President's Speech from France or from Ireland. The overland express froin India is also overdn e , which is anxiously looked for; 'particularly by the speculators in Tea, es it is some time since we have had :ntelligcace from China. Consols opened this morning at the Teaving off quota tions of yesterday, 91. k for the Account; Morley, 91 ev-dividend. Exchequer Bills, 1 3 prem. ; India Bonds, 4 2 dis. ' - Bank Stock, 1771 1781 ; India St oc k, 256 257 for th e Opening. In the Foreign Market Spanish closed at 24 are now 241 25 ; Portugueie left off 36i, improved to 36} 37, owing to the anticipated speech of the Queen of Portugal at the opening of the Cortes, which is expected to be fa vourable to the bondholders. Colombian, 24i 211; Mexi can, 301 also improved; Btazilian, 72ilr ; Dutch Two-and-a Half per Cents, 52+ f; Five per Cents, 99k. There was a numerous attendance yesterday at the Tea Sales, but owing to no intelligence having been re ceived from China, the bidding. were exceedingly languid. _ . . The Paris Journals of Thursday, together with Madrid Papers of the 29th, have been received. The safe arrival of the Count de SEIRCY and his suite at 1 rebisond, is confirmed. His Excellency was met by a Persian officer of distinction sent to conduct him on his journey to Teheran. The English influence in Persia was said to be completely re stored. From Madrid the only important news is the expected dissolution of the Cabinet, E3PA ft- TERO having declared against obeying the orders of the War Minister General NARVAEZ. It was supposed that VIM. NA RVA EZ, CALDERON, CA LLA NIES, and San MILLI% N, would either quit or be kicked out of the Cabinet together.

One of them called out loudly for death. The General-Go vernor of Kief ordered that 4,000 strokes of the knout be given to him. The unfortunate Pole died under the infliction. The bankers are now signing at the Bank to receive their dividends, and the public will be paid on Thursday.

We need not recommend the work to our readers, it is sure to be read—and it is impossible for the reader not to desire to extend the knowledge of a work which all who wish well to England and to India ahead endeavour to circulate. It all who visit India would record their impressions, and collect materials for the information of their friends, as Lieutenant Postans and his gifted wife have done, India would sooq cease to be a terra incognita. THE SYLPHIDE.—A report has been current in Paris that Taglioni was seriously ill ; but letters from the Russian capital inform us that this is erroneous. On the 4th of December she appeared for her benefit at the Imperial Theatre, in a new ballet in three acts, called l'Ombre, wi t h most un precedented success. She was called f or t en t i mes, an d the enthusiasm in one scene, where s h e d ances i n a garden strewed with flowers, and where she appeared as the shadow dancing on, and vanishing from, a lake, was unbounded. The Emperor of Russia was present, and sent her the next day a magnificent present of diamonds and turquoises. The ballet had been g o t up with unexampled magni ficence. The music was composed by Adolphe Adam, the writer of the Brassezir de Pi eston, the Postilion de Lonjumeau, &c. THE IRON TRADE.--Compared with what it has been at many periods, the present price of iron is by no means high, and this trade has suffered, like most others, from the general pressure on the money market. Bar iron in W a l es i s now qu oted as low as from 8 /. 15s. to 81. 10s,, pe r t on ; a gra d u al reduction, amounting al together to ab ou t twenty s hillings per ton, having taken place since the spring of the year. There has not, how ever, been the least reduction in the rate of the work men's wages, which still continue higher than they have been at any former period ; affording, in truth, a larger return for labour than it has ever before acquired in any part of the world.—Silurian. There were very exeellent supplies, and a fair business was done. Turbot ss. to 21s. Cod 3s. to 12s. Soles 10d. to 3s. 6d. per pair. Lobsters Is. to . 3s. 6d. Salmon 3s. 6d. per lb.

His violent furies are, we feel convinced, as much assumed as his patriotism and loyalty. Probably the' solution of the man's brutality is to be found in big audiences rather than:hin.self. They are a cruel and a siteeninary race ; and as they cannot b e j us t now indulged i n th e p ract i cal exercise of the pike, knife, and faggot, it is nece:ssary to indulge them with a little theoretical savagenfmt and spite, to preserve their favour and keep them. in good humour."

Mr. Hilton was an historical painter of consi derable eminence, but was not as highly appreciated by the public as he ought to have been. His colouring was rich and bold, but perfectly natural ; and his conceptions, with one or two exceptions, betokened rare, and well-disci plined powers of fancy. He was, we believe, in his fiftieth year when he died. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) CHARGE OF ROBBERY BY A SEftTANT.—Frederick Win. Silton, a respectable-looking man, -aged 33, was indicted for stealing five shillings and sixp ence , o f Edward Bull, his master. It appears that the prisoner, who is a currier, was in the employment of the prosecutor, who suspecting his honesty, (*used a certain number of shil lings and half_crowns to be marked, which he gave to cer tain persons to go to his shop to make pnrchases. The persons were served by the prisoner. The prisoner was immdiately afteritards searched, and a portion of the marked money was found on the prisoner. Mr. BODKIN addressed the Jury for the prisoner. Several witnesses who had known the prisoner fur many years gate him an excellent character. _ . The lizeoftont summed up the evidence, and the Jury found the prisoner guilty of embezzlement. The Raconottit then sentenced him to be transported for seten years. On hearing kis sentence, the prisoner appeared com pletely overcome by his teelings, and was led out of the dock, crying most piteously for mercy. Sarah Carroll, aged 18, was indicted for stealing vn►.. rious articles, the propery of Thomas M'Lewer, her mas ter, and Joseph Blizzer, aged 36, for receiving the same, knowing them to have been stolen. The — prosecutor lives in Lambeth, and took the prisoner Carroll into his service from the Lambeth workhouse, on the 23d December, and on the Friday following she quitted his service 'without notice, taking with her the the articles in question, several of which were subsequently pledged by the prisoner Blizzer. The prisoner Carroll made no defence. Blizzer denied Opt he knew the property had been stolen. The RECiRDER having gone through the evidence, the Jurned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners, and they were severally sentenced to seven years' transportation. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant ARABIN ) Sarah Reid was indicted for stealing a gown the pro perty of Elenry Reid, her brother. The prisoner pleaded Guilty. Her sister-in-law, in answer to the Court, said the prisoner bad frequently purloined articles from her brother's warehouse. He was determined to check it, and prosecuted in the hope that it would do good. Sentence—Six months' imprisonment and hard labour. Edward Walker also pleaded t i oilty of stealing two pairs of boots, the property of W. H. Brooks, his !caster. He mks also sentenced to six months' impris - mment. George Hill and Edward Wright were indicted for stealing at Ilford, Essex, 29 lbs of flour, the property of Theskas Catty, a baker there. Hill was a . young boy in the employment of the prose_ cuter ; the other was a man using the prosecutor's baltaw housJ, for the purpose of baking potatoes. On the night of the 19th December, they both went into the bakehouse, and finding no one there, they went to the trough and filled bsg with flour. The prosecutor's sit was in the lott, and saw the transaction. Afterwards the canstalle and him went to Wright's house, where the bag was found. The flour in the beg appeared to be of the same quality as that used by the prosecutor. Mr. Joiviss addressed the Jury for the prisoners. Seve ral inhabitants of Ilford and the prosecutor gave the pri soners a good Character previous to this transaction. The latter also begged to recommend them to mercy. The Court sentenced them to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour in Ilford gaol. John Vine, a young boy, was indicted for stealing a watch, chain, a seal, and keys, also an accordion the pro perty of James Edwards, on die 19th of December last. The boy lodged in the house of the prosecutor, whose wife saw the articles mowed in the indictment safe on the 18th Dec. They.yere kept in the bedroom, to which no other person but the prisoner and the family had access. A pawnbroker produced •the, accordion, which had been pledged by the prisoner for 45.. • None of the other pro perty had been found, but the Judge said he had no doubt he had had them all. The Jury found a verdict of guilty, and he was sentenced to seven years' transportation. The Chairman and a Deputation from the Com mittee of South American Bondholders waited upon his Excellency Senor Mosquera on Saturday last, and ter a long discussion upon the letter which the Co4h. mittee had addressed to him, his Excellency pro mised to return rn answer in writing within a fortnight.

MAIL UPSET.—Sunday morning, when the night coach WAS within about two miles of Newry, on its way to Belfast, it was overturned in consequence of the axletree breaking. Very fortunately none of the passengers (eight in number) received any injury ; and the only consequence of the accident was, the deten tion of the mail for an hour and a half, or two hours, while the driver was engaged in providing another coach in Newry.—Northern IVhig.

LEEDS DEMONSTRATION AGAINST THE CORN-LAWS.—The meeting in the Cloth Hall-yard, on Tuesday last, was all that we could have expected from the sound-thinking and clear-seeing men of Leeds. It was, indeed, perfectly triumphant as a demonstra tion of public opinion against the iniquitous Corn laws—so aptly defined in the words of the first resolu tion, as being " at variance with the laws of God, and the rights of humanity.;' The meeting was per fectly unanimous, be it remarked, in its denun ciation of the Corn-laws. Not a solitary voice was raised in their defence ; nor a solitary hand was held up in their favour. The ex hortations of Mr. White and the other Irish gentlemen who spoke in advocacy of fighting and revo lution, were received as they deserved. It is evident the working classes of this district are sound at bottom ; and that they can estimate at their true worth those whose comprehension appears to be limited to brute force, fighting, and revolution—subjects level to the meanest capacity, and to no other. Yet, even thew men are not without an excuse of some kind. The demon of mis-Overnment has implanted in them these bitter and hostile feelings towards the class above them, and thus perverted the kindly and friendly nature of man.—Leeds Time:. DEVONPORT ELECTION.—We hat e been told that some of the Radicals of this borough have threat stied to vote for Mr. Dawson, if they find they cannot carry Mr. Leach. Can there be any truth in the state ment ? can it he anything but an invention of the enemy, for the purpose of increasing the discord among the Re formers ? To suppose that any one calling himself a Ra dical Reformer, could, under any possible circumstances, however irritated or offended by his party, be induced to vote for a red-hot Tory, deeply coloured with Orange ism—a thorough-paced Hanoverian, an advocate for rotten-boroughs, a repealer of the Catholic Emancipa tion Act—was beyond the stretch of our imagination. A person who could so act, could never have deserved to be considered a Reformer ; he never could have had a fixed political principle, and must be a creature only of passions and prejudices, incrpable of forming a sound political opinion, and would, by such a 'course, entitle himself to the unmeasured contempt of his townsmen, of whatever politics.—Devonport Independent.
