IMPORTANZ' NEWS FROM Ef REFUSAL OF ADMIRAL STOPFORD TO RATIFY THE NAPIER CONVENTION. (From the Second Edition of the Times of Monday.) We have received an extraordinary courier from Marseilles, with despatches from Egypt and Alexandria, dated.the 12th instant, by which we have learnt that the Envoy sent to Beyrout by the Pacha, in pursuance of the Convention en tered into with Commodore Napier for the recal of Ibrahim Pacha and his army to Egypt, had returned to Alexandria on the 7th of December, in the Stromboli steamer without being allowed to land. Admiral Stopford had written to the Pacha stating that Commodore Napier had no authority to conclude such arrangement, and that he, Admiral Stopford, would not consent to its execution. • (From the third edition of the Times.) UVe now publish the full details of the intelligence given in our second edition, with the original despatches from Admiral Stopford to the Pacha, and from the Pacha to the Sultan.l Our Private correspondence from Alexandria, of the 12th of December, contains important intelligence. The envoy sent to Beyrout by the Pacha, in pursuance of the conven tion entered into with Commodore Napier, for the recal of Ibrahim Pacha and his army to Egypt. had returned to Alexandria on the 7th of Dec., in the Stromboli steamer, without being permitted to land. Admiral Stopford bad written to the Pacha to inform him that Commodore Napier had no authority to conclude such an arrangement ; that he, Admiral Stopford, could not consent to its execution ; and that if the transports for the Hooh were on their way to Bey rout they should be safely returned to Alexandria. On the same day the Pacha received by an overland cou rier the intelligence that Ibrahim Pacha and his army in two divisions were in full retreat to Egypt ; one, with Ibrahim at its head, was expected to reach Gaza on the Bth of Decem ber; the other had pursued its route to the south-eastward of the river Jordan and the Dead Sea. Itis said that 30,000 men are thus entering Egypt. On the Bth, the Megtera steamer also arrived from Bey rout, with additional despatches for the Pacha, borne by Captain Fanshawe, of the Princess Charlotte, with creden tials from Admiral Stopford, to negociate the surrender of the fleet, and the settlement of the whole question, and con firming the admiral's disapproval of Napier's convention. The Commodore it was supposed bad gone to Marmorice, and perhaps to Constantinople, and the Admiral was also intent on sailing to the former port the day after the Megzera had left for Alexandria. The Bedouins of the desert of Suez bad begun to plunder. and the Pacha had declared he would send a force to guard the next Indian mails. He was enforcing a rigid and exten sive conscription for the National. Guard in Alexandria, taking even the household servants of the Franks, obliging them to work sometimes all night as well as all day in the forts and 'magazines. The Franks expected to see their houses plundered if hostilities commenced, and were pre .paring to defend themselves. Captain Fanshawe had presented his credentials and the 1 Admiral's desnatch reouiring the Pacha to agree to rest,,re the Turkish 'fleet to' the Sultan, and finally to eva cuate Syria. The Pacha complained exceedingly of hav ing been played upon by the late proceedings, which ended in the Convention with Commodore Napier, but had at length consented to the new demands thus officially made by Admiral Napier's flag captain, and had prepared a sub missive letter to the Sultan, expressive of his willingness to restore the fleet and finally evacuate Syria, which letter was confided to Captain Fanshawe, who thereupon left Alexan dria on the 11th instant, and proceeded to rejoin the Admi ral at Marmorice. RIO DE LA. PLATA MONTEVIDEO, Sept. 23, 18-10.—It is said here to-day, that a messenger arrived here from Rivera to the government, with intelligence that Echaque had invaded the province of Cor rientes from Entre Rios, at the head of 3,000 men, and that Rivera bad sent for reinforcethents of men and arms. Ano ther report is current, that the French soldiers who came out with the late expedition are to be landed at the Island of Martin Garcia ; and one rumour gives out, that a treaty has been entered into by this government (Montevideo), and that of France ; the latter advancing 25,000,000 f., to be repaid in so many years, and in the interim the French are to occupy Colonia! BUENOS AYRES, Oct. I.—The French residents are one and all making off as fast as possible. Every day since the sailing of the packet there is a list of names asking passports of 20 and upwards, and that of this morning is longer than any preceding. The French are perfectly right in so doing ; they ought not to stay here now, and it is probable few foreigners of any nation will remain, unless some grea. change takes place. All are very much alarmed, and not without cause ; up to the present the persons of Englishmen have not been molested, but certainly not their property, when required by the government. Imprisonments and assassina tions proceed ; not a day passes but we hear of one, two, or more persons being found with their throats cut. Of course it is quite too evident what is the meaning of all this, for in no instance has it been attended with robbery : the money, watch, &c., have been invariably found upon the bodies, and all of them well and respectably dressed people. It was cur rently reported yesterday that Lavalle had settled Lopal, and was on his return here again. On Saturday last abfut 20 shops were embargoed by the government, belonging to per sons considered Unitarios, but the same evening it was taken off, owing, some say, to the wind having changed, which has effect upon our lord and master (Roses) ; others, on account of a letter sent by Mr. Mandeville (the British minister), after an interview with an eminent English merchant, rela tive to some hides, on which he had advanced a large amount, and on which an embargo had been laid by the Governor Rosas. On the 13th of this month (October) it is expected that Rosas will be again re-elected Governor. October 3, 8 a.m.—l have now to communicate continued scenes of barbarities. Yesterday morning five or six persons were found with their throats cut ; two were shot at the Cuartel del Serenos. Poor Quesada, formerly a colonel, has been murdered by them. This is most horrid work ! Not an hour passes without hearing of some one being assas sinated. Numerous families daily most barbarously treated, the poor defenceless women slashed unmercifully, and their clothing torn and cut all to pieces, and every article of their furniture broken up and completely smashed to atoms ! The whole town is completely at the mercy of the Mashorca club, which has now become very numerous : neither the chief of police nor Avana can say anything against the acts of these men, nor can they exercise any authority over them. _ _ 1 p.m.—l am now told that Colonel Quesada was last night taken a little way out of town, and had his throat cut. This is dreadful ! lam told eleven others were found this morn ing in the neighbourhood of Rivadavia's quinta. Some say as many as thirty suffered last night. I can write no more, these doings quite unman me. When shall we see an end of such dreadful atrocities ? October s.—Horrors and assassinations increase ; every thing is in the hands of the Mashorca •, Avana, and the chief of police, have not a word to say. Quesada's murder has excited much disgust against the Government. Mr. Mande ville, the British Minister, when he applied to Avina on be , half of the victim, was assured he had been misinformed ; that Quesada had not been apprehended ; and now that the melancholy fact is established, Mr. Mandeville is greatly en raged at having been deceived by Avana. All the British merchants are off by this packet. I have again heard that the Minister strongly remonstrated with the Government. MONTEVIDEO, Oct. 13.—The American commodore went up to Buenos Ayres on the 10th, and, as he is a humane and gentlemaniy man, and much shock at the perpetration of such unheard-of cruelties, he has promised to use every influence his station may invest him with to induce the Government to put down the merciless perpetrators of these barbarities. The instructions of Admiral Makau have not been promul gated. He embarked on Saturday evening, the 10th of Oc tober, and immediately set out tor Buenos Ayres. The opinion among the French residents is general that he will treat with . . Rosa;. The Admiral has given orders to have all the land ing companies and three-fifths of the sailors on board each vessel exercised daily for six hours, and certainly is preparing for war, though he may sue for peace. The British frigate Stag, bearing the pendant of Commo dore Sullivan, in company wet the Curacoa and Grecian, sailed for Buenos Ayres last night. We have, therefore, some protection to British subjects. The Southampton, 50, is daily expected with Admiral King's flag. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL MISCELLANY CHINA.—THE LOWER CLASSES.—Sir George Staunton, connected with the last British embassy in China, speaking of the results of Chinese government, says—" In the course of our journey through the Chinese empire, on the occasion of that embassy, I can recall to my recollection (the seaport of Canton, of course, excepted) but very few instances of beg gary or abject misery among the lower classes, or of splendid extravagance amongi the higher; and 1 conceived myself en. abled to trace almost universally throughout China the une quivocal signs of an industrious, thriving, and contented people."—Davis's Chinese. DR. LARDNER IN AMERICA.—Dr. Lardner and his suite arrived in New York the other day, and took lodgings at one of the fashionable hotels in Broadway. His suite consists of ex-Mrs. Heavvside, who, in due process of time intends to become Mrs. Lardner, and a young lady, a Miss Bennett, from England, a scientific friend of the parties. It seems that a suit has been commenced for a divorce between Capt. Heaviside and his wife, and according to all accounts there can be no difficulty in that piece of philosophical reaction. Dr. Lardner and his lady insist upon it, that their conduct was perfectly justified according to the most recent discoveries in chemistry and the steam-engine, and it is probable he can prove it to the satisfaction of every savan of the day.. Dr. Lardner is busy finishing his Encycl 'media. The learned gent. is also anxious to give lectures on the steam-engine, and other scientific 'matters—and in these days of lectures—scien tific and curtain—we presume he would be well attended by all the fashionable, polite, and pious.—New York Morning 'Herald. . _ . . _ LISZT AT HAMIRTIIGII.—A letter from Hamburgh, of the 10th December, announces that M. Liszt gave the entire proceeds of his first concert at the great theatre there, amounting to 3189 rix dollars (nearly £700), for the founda tion of a pension list for the benefit of the members of the orchestra of that theatre. The musicians thus munificiently provided for went in a body to the celebrated pianiste's hotel, with an expression of their gratitude. On the following evening they executed a magnificentserenade, including some of his own chosen compositions, beneath the windows of the apartment which he occupied at the hotel. The Senate also addressed a letter to Liszt, testifying to him, in the name of the city of Hamburgh , their satisfaction and gratitude for this generous donation. SINGULAR PROPOSAL.—The following singular proposi tion we find in a late St- Louis Gazette:--A warm Harriso nian made following proposition to-day, which, however, was not taken up—that he would pay 200 dollars to any man who would agree to give him one kernel of coffee for the first sin gle vote Harrison got over. Van Buren's whole vote, two for b th e e in s g econd, and so o n i n geometr i ca l progress i on.

SPENCER LYTTELTON, (From the Morning Herald of Yesterday.) BIRMINGHAM, Wednesday Night.—The friends of good government will rejoice to learn, that the success of Mr. Gladstone, the candidate for the representation of this bo rough, is placed almost beyond a doubt. The Hon. Mr. Lyttelton refusing to surrender his independence to the de puties of the Anti-Corn-Law League, now in Walsall, has retired in disgust from the contest, as will be seen by his ad dress to the electors. A brief correspondence, is also sub joined, which renders any comment unnecessary, in order to expose the jesuitical tactics of the corn-law mongers, whose impertinent intermeddling in the present contest has met with that well-merited rebuke which it so richly deserves. Messrs. Rawson, Prentice, and Ackland, are completely taken aback by the independent and spirited conduct of Mr. Lyt telton, and are prowling about the neighbourhood in search of some tool pliant enough to play their game. They have waited upon C. Forster, jun., Esq., son of the late conserva tive representative, whose politics, unlike- those of his re spected father, are all that these gentlemen could desire. Mr. Forster, jun., is to give his final an s wer to-night, and a meeting is called for the purpose of receiving it, and in the event of another disappointment, it is not improbable that one of the three worthies, supported by the friends of the league, may be induced to put himself forward as the repre sentative of the independent electors of Walsall. The following is the correspondence referred to : TO . THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF WALSALL " Gentlemen,—When I had the honour of first addressing you, offering myself a candidate to represent this borough in the Commons' House of Parliament, I calculated wigi confi dence on the undivided and zealous support of every class of the liberal party. I have now completed a personal canvass of the electors, and I regret to say that, in many instances where I had every reason to expect prompt and cor dial support, I have met with either lukewarm neutrality or decided opposition. In addition to these discouraging cir cumstances, I have had to encounter the avowed hostility of the agents from the Anti-Corn-Law League deputed to oppose me, and whose opposition has destroyed my chance of being returned as your representative, by dividing the liberal interest. Nothing but a firm conviction of the hope lessness of success, founded upon these obstacles, would have induced me to relinquish my prospects of representing your borough, but I am now persuaded that any continuance of this struggle in the present state of parties would only injure the cause to which I am pledged. In retiring from the pre sent contest, I beg to return my most sincere and heartfelt thanks to those honest and consistent liberals who have ren dered me their able assistance and support.—l have the ho nour to be, gentlemen, your most faithful,_ obedient, and humble servant, " Walsall, Tuesday Evening SPENCER LYTTLETON " WALSALL gLECTION.—In order to prevent any possible misunderstanding on the , subject, Mr. Gladstone's friends think it right to publish a letter which he'received from three gentlemen, calling themselves a deputation from the' Anti- Corn-Law League, together with his reply thereto. . " George Hotel, Dec. 1840. " Sir,—We have been deputed by the " National Anti- Corn-Law League" to ascertain the opinions of the candi dates for the representation of Walsall, as to the repeal of the corn law. " We have put the question to Mr. Lyttelton, and we have also respectfully to request the courtesy of your reply by letter, or that you will favour us with a personal inter view.—We have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servants, " WILLIAM RAWSON, " 4 ARCHIBALD PRENTICE, " JAMES ACKLAND. " To J. N. Gladstone, Esq., &c.,' " " George Hotel, Walsall, " ' Tuesday Morning, 29th Dec., 1840 " Gentlemen,—l had the - honour iO receive your letter of yesterday at nine o'clock last night. To the electors and inhabitants of Walsall I shall at all times be most ready to explain my opinion on all questions of public interest; but I cannot recognise the right of the Anti-Corn- Law League, or any other league, to send deputations to catechise candi dates, or interfere in the politics of places to which they are strangers. _ _ _ " shall take every opportunity to explain publicly my sentiments on the subject of the corn laws, and in the course of my canvass have already done so. " For the reasons I have assigned, I trust that I shall not be considered wanting in proper courtesy to you gentlemen, as strangers to Walsall, in declining to enter upon the sub ject of the corn laws.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, " J. N. GLADSTONE. ' To Messrs. Rawson, Prentice, and Acland.' " JOURNAL OF THE MONEY MARKET TUESDAY EVENING.—By advises from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 4243 per mark, which, at the English mint price of £3 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 41., and the exchange at Hamburgh on Lon don at short being 13. 31., it follows that gold Is 71 per cent. dearer at Hamburgh than at London. The premium on gold at Paris is 4 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 1:3 17s. bop. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 25, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25. 271, it follows that gold is 10 per cent. lower at Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 109 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex change is 57 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the discount on these 60 days must be deducted from the aforesaid difference. Without any great amount of business being done, the English stock-market has been firm throughout the day. Consols for the account were last quoted 881 buyers ; Bank Stock, 1564 to 1574; Exchequer-bills, 2s. to 4s. premium; 3 per cent. Reduced, 884: and 32 per cent. Reduced, 961. WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The English funds were again a fraction better, consols closing 884 to a ex div., for the opening ; exchequer bills 2s to 4s premium ; bank stock 157 to 8. The transactions in the foreign house were generally limit ed, and with a view to the settlement and probable effects of the account, which closes to-marrow. There was a good deal of bustle in the Spanish market, which continues to improve, though with an evident suspicion on the part of the dealers that present appearances may prove fallacious, and that those who are going for the rise may be doomed to fresh disap pointments. Five per Cent. Dutch stock was last quoted at 971 to 4 ; Colombian 234 to 4 ; Mexican 284 to 9 ; the Two and-a-half per Cent. Portuguese (commonly called Fives) 32 to 3 ; Active Spanish 2- to 5, and the Treasury Bonds 26. Great Western railway shares closed 26 to 3 premium ; ditto (new) 111 to 12 premium ; South Western 17 to 3 pre mium ; Brighton 61 to 1 discount ; Birmingham 81 to 3 premium ; and London Joint Stock Bank 21 to premium per share. It was settling day in this market. Money was in demand, but procured on comparatively easy terms. COURT CIRCULAR WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The amusement on the lake at Frogmore this afternoon was varied between skating and sledge-driving. His Royal Highness Prince Albert was accompanied to the lake by her Majesty (who was looking remarkably well) and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. The rumour is again revived, that it is more than probable that Frogmore Lodge will be the future residence of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. A story is current at the Castle, that, when the Premier was asked, yesterday,- by Prince Albert, if his lordship was disposed to accompany the Prince to Frogmore, for an hour or two's skating, the noble viscount replied, with a knowing shrug of his dexter shoulder, " Why, the fact is, your royal highness, I have had so much slippery work to get through of late in Downing-street, that, while I am at the Castle, I hope to enjoy a little relaxation. Your royal highness must, therefore, be pleased to excuse me." STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER.—Yesterday being the market intervening between Christmas and New Year's Day,,there was as usual very little business done ; and the trifling demand which might be expected at this season was checked by the advance required by the spinners and manufacturers, on almost all descriptions of goods and yarn. This advance the buyers did not seem much disposed to give ; but sellers were firm, and the little business transacted was either at advanced prices, or the very full rates of the previous week. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, DEC. 28.—There have been very few buyers in the market to-day, and very little business of any kind has been done. Indeed, at the markets which fall between Christmas Day and the " new market," very few attend. The new market is always held on the first Monday after Old Christmas Day (or the 6th of January). In the price of flannels there has been no change, and the wool market continues dull, with prices firm. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, FRIDAY, DEC. 29.—This mar ket was unusually animated for the last in the year. The amount of goods sold was not heavy, but the prospect of a good spring trade seems to animate the spirits of all parties. Prices remain firm in all new goods, and the raw material. Orders for shipping are tolerably heavy, which keep the operatives employed. A. fair business is doing in the ware houses.—Manchester Guardian. FASHIONS FOR JANUARY (From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.) Materials shaded in rose define and procelaine, blue with orange, on white, are the most fashionable colours ; very elegant dresses are made in the latter style, the pattern in orange on white satin or reps, having the effect of gold : they are trimmed with blond, and scarfs to match. Many dresses are made of the tunic form, which is sometimes of velvet on dress of satin. Crape raye gauffre called jardiniere, is among the novelties of the moment, and derives its name from the multitude of small - flowers of - every colour, which fbrm quite a parterre, shaded with a thousand tints. Black lace dresses are fashionable, lined with pink, yellow, or lilac, with velvet flowers to ornament them. Pretty neglige dresses are made en peignoir, of sarcenet, quilted all round about five or six inches deep ; they are.ot dark colours, lined with pink, blue, or the same as the outside, and are worn with under skirts of levantine or taffetas of red, blue, or green, with a deep flounce, or quilted to match the peignoir. Robes de chambre and travelling cloaks are made of worsted mate rials, with a band of silk to line the edge. Manteaux for the evening arc with hoods, imitating the shawl collar ; many cloaks have the hood resembling the domino hood, trimmed with lace or fur ; short cloaks have round full hoods ; a Polo naises have the pointed hood with gimp trimmings. Many of the short cloaks of velvet are just now tringned with fur, with muffs to match, orielle d'ours, ramoneur, grenat are the favourite colours, lined with satin of the same shade, and quilted all over in patterns. Bonnets are a degree larger, but they continue of the close capote form with low crown, marabouts matching in colour with the material are fashionable ; velvet bonnets have also been made full. Many pretty coiffures are formed of gold andvelvet ribbon, with resilles of gold ; the newest coiffure is composed of a fichu of point lace, bouillonne at the back of the head, each bouillon is confined by a leaf of green velvet. Fauchonnettes of black or white lace are worn, placed over the thou of hair, the points falling near the cheek, mix with the curls and flowers. . _ Cannezous for dress are made of tulle, with application of Brussels trimmings. The newest sleeve is that termed.may enne, very tight on the lower part of the arm, and widening moderately to the shoulders. Scarfs of pink or blue satin are trimmed with pluche, imitating chinchilla, and are very pretty for evening wear.

THE PRIVUD AP THE DANK OP MANCHESTER. glad to be enabled to state, that the perpetrator of fraud on the Bank of Manchester has at length been dis covered, and that evidence of the most conclusive character has been obtained against him. For two or three days past, we have known that the police were by no means satisfied with the evidence against Wm. Smith, alias Thomas Brown, the individual apprehended last week, aithough_he was some what positively spoken to by the_ post-office clerk, and less confidently by' another witness. The doubts thus entertained appear to have been perfectly well founded ; and it will most probably turn out, that the individual in question is. perfectly unconnected with the affair. The name of the real offender, and the circumstances under which he was discovered, will be learned from the following detailS _ On Wednesday last, Messrs. Bannerman and Sons, of this town, received.a letter from a house at Dublin, with which they do business, requesting to know why the receipt of two bills of exchange, which they had remitted by post on the 16th inst., had not been acknowledged. The particulars of the bills were given in the letter,—one for £69. 15s. was drawn upon the London and Westminster Bank, the other for £23. lls. was accepted payable at Robarts, Curtis, and Co.'s, London ; and both were specially endorsed to Messrs. Bannerman and Sons. As no such bills had come to hand, Messrs. Bannerinan and Sons, apprehending that they might have fallen into improper hands, wrote to London to stop payment of them • and learnt, in reply, from the London and Westminster Bank, that, the day before their letter came to hand, the bill had been sent up for payment in a letter signed " Wm Wilkinson," the writer of which requested that the bank would make returns by a cheque on Messrs. Heywood and Co., and address it to him at the Post Office, Knott Mill, Manchester. The London and Westminster Bank had consequently lodged a credit with Masterman and Co., and sent an order in the usual form on Sir B. Heywood and Co., to the address indicated in the letter. Application was con sequently made to Heywood and Co., who stated that they had paid the amount to a young man, who called in the first instance, on the morning when the notice arrived, and asked if they had not received an order for a payment to William Wilkinson. He was told that they had, and the clerk asked if his name was Wilkinson. He replied in the negative, but said that Mr. Wilkinson had sent him for the money. The clerk then filled up a blank cheque, and desired him to get Mr. Wilkinson's signature to it, and the money would then be paid. He called again in the afternoon, bringing with him the cheque signed as directed, and also the order which I had been addressed by the London and Westminster Bank to the Knott Mill post-office ; and then, of course, the money was handed over to him, and he carried it off. On the following day, of course, the arrival of the letter from the London and Westminster Bank disclosed the traud that had been, committed; and it was found on inquiry, that the young man who received the payment at Heywoods , an swered the description of the person who had obtained the letters of the Bank of Manchester, and presented the ab stracted cheque at the bank of Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co.; and, on a comparison of the handwriting of the letter to the London and Westminster Bank, with the name and address, " Thomas Brown, Preston," written on that cheque, it was obvious that they had been written by the same party. No doubt could then exist, that one or more letters, addressed k to Messrs. Bannerman and Co. had been surreptitiously ob tained from the post-office on the 17th instant, two days before those of the Bank of Manchester were carried off, and that both offences bad been committed by the same party. Who that party was still remained in doubt; but that doubt was speedily to be cleared up. Success in one case bad made the offender careless, and he suffered the consequences of his rashness. We have stated that the missing letter to Messrs. Ban nerman and Co. contained two bills, one of which was paid as above described. The other, for £23 lls fell due, we be lieve, on Saturday last ; and on that day, if we are not mis taken, the bill arrived at Messrs. Robarts, Curtis, and Co.'s, where it was made payable, in a letter, the signature of which we have not learned, requesting that they would make re turns by an order on the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank, to be again addressed to the post-office at Knott Mill. Messrs. Roberts and Co. had, however, received the order for stopping payment of the bill; and, we believe, had been informed of what had taken place with respect to the bill on the London and Westminster Bank. They, therefore, laid a plan for the detection of the offender. They immediately forwarded the letter which they had received to Sir Charles Shaw, in order to put the police on their guard, and on Mon day addressed to the post-office, at Knott Mill, a letter containing an order on the District Bank, in the usual form, as if they had suspected nothing wrong. Of course a very strict watch was kept on the Knott Mill Post office ; and yesterday, between one and-two o'clock, a young man, answering the description of the one who had - been previously seen at the post-office and the banks, presented himself at the office, where he demanded and received the letter, closely watched all the time by Inspector 'Bibby, of the police, who was dressed in plain clothes for the purpose. He was allowed to go away with the letter; and it was Bibby's intention to permit him to go to the District Bank, to ask for the money, before taking him into custody. Owing to the crowded state of the streets, however, he found that there would be great difficulty id keeping his man in sight; and, fearful of some mischance, after following him for a short distance, he seized him with the letter in his possession, and then found that his person corresponded exactly with the description given of him by Mr. Loyd and ethers. He is a very young man, not much exceeding 16 years of age, named Thomas Bourne, the son, we regret to say, of very respecta ble parents, but of bad character himself, having, we under stand, been previously once or twice convicted of felony. He was immediately and most satisfactorily, identified by Mr. Loyd and one of his clerks, as well as by two clerks from the bank of Sir B. Heywood and Co. ; and the post-office clerk, on seeing the new prisoner, at once said, that he had no doubt he had previously been mistaken, and that that was the per son to whom he had delivered, the letters In his possession was a pocket-book containing a number of entries, the writing of which corresponded exactly with that of the letters to the London bankers and the name written on the cheque pre sented to Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co. Further, in his Mackintosh coat was found a bond of indemnity to the Bank of Manchester, which had been sent to Newtown, Mont gomeryshire, for execution, and which is believed to have been enclosed in one of the letters obtained from the box of that bank on the 19th instant. Although we believe there can be little doubt that the pri soner is the party by whom the letters have been obtained, and the cheque and bills attempted to be negotiated, it may reasonably be doubted whether he had not some confederate in the business. He is, as we have already stated, only 16 years of age ; and although an early initiation in crime usu ally gives great precocity to the understanding, it is difficult to conceive that a youth like, him could possess the know ledge of bills of exchange, and of the customs of bankers, requisite to carry on the daring and dangerous game in which he appears to have been engaged. There is one circumstance connected with the robbery of the Bank of Manchester, which may not be unworthy of no tice. Yesterday week, Mr. Burdekin, the manager of the bank, received a letter, evidently in the same handwriting as those mentioned above, stating, in substance, that the writer had then in his possession all the enclosures contained in the letters obtained from the post-office, amounting in value to upwards of £7,000, with the single exception of the cheque which he had sent by a lad to the bank of Jones, Loyds, and Co. He wished to know what reward the bank would give for their restoration, and requested to be informed by an ad vertisement in the Guardian of Saturday morning. The only step taken in consequence of this communication was the sending of notices of the particulars of the robbery, and of the bills stolen, to all parts of the kingdom, so as effectually to preclude,any chance of negotiating them in any quarter. Of course, the young man who has been several days in custody, on suspicion of having been concerned in this affair, will now be liberated, and some other parties whom the affair appears to have involved in a little trouble will b e l e ft at rest. The informinfation of the robbery, and the description of the offender, circulated throughout the country, appe a rs to have had a very prejudicial effect upon the comf orts of t h e ra th er numerous class of "shabby genteel" young men w ith sallow complexions, and dressed in threadbare black suits. One of this class was sent over in custody from Liverpool yesterday ; another is said to be in prison at Leeds; others, we believe, are under surveillance in different parts of the country ; and, had it not been for the fortunate detection of the real offender, it is to be feared that a considerable portion of the votaries of the muses, the aspirants to histrionic fame, and other people, the condition of whose apparel ,is too frequently as much be neath their wishes as it is below their notions of their own merits, would have found their way into the interior of her majesty's gaols. Since the above was written, we have learned that a large portion of the sum obtained from the bank of Heywood and Co., we believe about £45, has been:discovered by the police in an empty house, near the re s id ence of the pr i soner ' s father. This discovery would seem to diminish the probability of the prisoner's having had an accomplice. We learn that the prisoner was in the service of Messrs. Lowe and Co., hosiers, Church-street, and was on the point of being inden tured to them as an apprentice. APPALLING DEATH AT BURSLEM (From the North Staffordshire .VereztrY) An accident of a terrific character, attended by circum stances of a most painful interest, occurred . on Saturday night last, at Bur?lem. Some of our readers may remember the name of Maria Brett, as having of late frequently occur red in our police reports. This girl, thou g h not more than nineteen or twenty, and possessing her share of personal attractions, is one of the most degraded of the class, usually designated " unfortunate." Within the last few months, it appears from the girl's statement, an acquaintance had arisen between her and a young man named Thomas Har rison, a brick-maker, one wh o h a d t h e reputation of b e i ng a sober well-conducted . person, and a " teetota ll er ." On Saturday night Harrison met with the girl Brett, and after treating her with liquor, though he took none himself, made an engagement to meet her later in the evening, intending to get rid of his companions. About eleven o'clock they were together in the neighbourhood of the Bell-hank, an open space at the back of High -street. In this space is a small brick outbuilding which covers a well, about sixteen or seventeen feet deep, entir e ly- unprotected by any covering, and,containingater to the de ... pth of abont thirteAu feet._ The well is about #our or fiiCfeet diameter, and is situated at one of the further corners on the right, occupying more than half the length of the building, which is not more than eight feet by about seven.' Into this place, according to the evidence of a little girl who was passing, the girl Brett invited Harrison, taking him by the arm. They walked in, and in a few moments both were precipitated into the well. Most pierc ing shrieks for assistance were immediately heard, and the little girl who had seen th em enter the place, hearing the plunge in the water, gave an alarm. At this moment a young man named Ralph Malkin, who was approaching from the Market-place, instantly r an to the well. The water not being more than four feet fro m the top, he saw a. woman struggling in it, and he lay d ow n and stretched his arm as low as he could. The girl seized his hand, and he contrived to raise her so high that she was able, by placing her right foot against the opposite wall, to keep her head above water. He then saw the unhappy m an Harrison come to the surface of the water, convulsively w or king with his hands, in the vain hope of catching at somethingto sustain him, while the girl in her frenzy kept kicking with her left leg against his head, and splashing the water so as to render his efforts perfectly hopeless. Ralph Malkin immediately ran for assistance. In a few moments a number of p er sons were on the spot, and by means of a rope the girl was got out alive, but the young man had sunk. A drag was p rocure d, and in a few minutes his lifeless corpse was drawn out. The neighbours around all affirm that the girl knew of this well, as she had been used, when younger, to fetch water from it ; and in consequence of this fact, and some groundless rumours, suspicions were at first entertained that Harrison had come by his death in some foul way, otherwise than by accident. There appears to be no ground for the suspicion ; and the fact that the girl was in liquor at the time accounts, in some measure, for the circumstance, supposing h er to h a ve known of the well. The body of Harrison was removed to a public house near, to await the coroner's inquest. After a patient inquiry, a ver dict " accidental death" was returned. Power was given to the trustees, by the late act of parlia ment, for charging the estates of the Duke of Wellington with a jointure for the Marchioness of Douro, amounting to £2500 per annum. It will be recollected that £700,000 was granted to his grace for his eminent services to the state, to be laid out in the purchase of landed property, and entailed upon his successors. At the duke's special wish, the plate, china, jewels, pictures, statues, arid other valuables present ed to him by different sovereigns and states, were also set-• tled and conveyed as heir-looms with the title. No jointure to a Duchess of Wellington earl exceed £6500 per annum, nor can the estates for jointures altogether exceed £lO,OOO per annum. fit ilLiberpool taitbaria. FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 1, 1841 A new year has this day commenced, and we hail with thankfulness the arrival of eighteen hundred and forty one. Before entering, however, into any specu lation upon the prospects which the future holds out to us, let us not be altogether ungrateful for the past. The year which has just measured out its span has not been unproductive of substantial advantages to Great Britain; and whilst we welcome its successor let us turn our glance back for a while and record a few of those events which have distinguished the days of eighteen hundred and forty. And first in interest we are bound to notice the gra tifying change which the last twelve months have brought about in the domestic position of our young and •gracious Queen. The year 1840 has presented her Majesty with the husband of her choice, whose habits and disposition, so far as they are at present known, promise not only to promote her own personal happiness, but to endear the Prince himself to the peo ple over whom it is her fortune to be placed, and to whom her consort, the partner of her domestic hours, must ever he an object of interest. The same year has rewarded the prayers of the nation and the affection of the royal pair with the birth of a princess, who may one day be destined to sit upon the throne of the realm, but whose happier fate we trust it will be, as the Princess Royal and sitter of a male heir, hereafter to be born, to set a bright example of virtue and private worth to the female nobility, of whom from her station she must be next to the throne itself, the recognised head. The next gratifying feature which presents itself is the decline during the past year of the principles of Whig-Radicalism in the estimation of the people of Great Britain and Ireland. With difficulty during the last session of parliament the Radical party could main tain even the shadow of power. Harassed and over awed at every step by a strong Conservative phalanx; enfeebled by divisions amongst the discordant elements by which it is supported ; the ministry of Lord Mel bourne, hopeless of effecting any great objects, gladly hurried over the period usually devoted to public busi ness, and submitted to have their measures laid aside or rem oulded, in accordance with the views of their opponents. Degradation of every kind was submitted to and embraced for the sake of the emoluments of office, in the vain hope that some lucky shuffle of the cards might supply them with additional strength to encounter another session. But the year 1840 had no such lucky consummation in store for Lord Melbourne and his party. If within the walls of parliament Lord Melbourne was weak before, the registrations of the past year and other circumstances of very significant import have shewn that out of doors his strength is not greater. In the various municipal contests throughout the kingdom, with a very few exceptions, the principles of modern liberalism have been scouted with disgust by the people; and viewing, in a candid spirit, the en tire political demonstrations of the past year, it is scarcely possible to avoid coming to the conclusion that history will record the year eighteen hundred and forty as that in which the power of 'Whig-Radicalism, for a season at least, received its death-blow in Great Britain. • We have already noticed (in our observations last Friday) the accession of moral strength which the cause of Protestantism has derived during the past twelve months; and to this we may add, the increased conviction on the part of the sound portion of the peo ple of the advantages of a religious education. The year eighteen hundred and forty has witnessed this conviction practically demonstrated in Liverpool by the foundation of a noble institution for the training up of our youth in the principles of the Established Church; and if this were not sufficient evidence of the tendency of opinion upon the subject of education, the results of the late contests in several of our wards would suf ficiently prove that in the good old town at least we have at length taken our stand upon the sound and healthy principlg,_tkat, .io a Protestant community,-re-. Cognizing a Protestant church establishment, the re ligious doctrines of that church should he the basis of any system of education which is provided at the public expense or for the public benefit. With respect to the state of our foreign relations we must confess that the past year has not been productive of any improvement upon which we dare congratulate our readers. The Spanish question has been settled it is true, so far as the partizans of Don Carlos were concerned, but no further; end it is very doubtful whether the new embroilment of the affairs of the Peninsula will not be of such a nature and extent as seriously to involve Great Britain as a party to its set settlement. In addition, we are now involved with China—we are carrying on active hostilities in the East Indies—we have the Syrian question on our hands (for who can say that it is settled yet)—and we have France embittered to the utmost against us; raving in a per fect frenzy of hatred against everything which bears the name of England, and burning to rush into a strug gle with us upon any battle ground or upon any or no provocation. So far, however; we have " held our own." Whatever may have been the policy which has led to our present entanglements, whether the sword of England has been drawn prudently or rashly, the events of eighteen hundred and forty have shown t. the hand which wields it is still strong as ever. 7 spirit of our gallant navy, the right arm and the bulwark of England, is still unimpaired ; and with this left us we cannot despair of our country. As a whole, then, we are not disappointed with the events of the past year ; on the contrary, we are fully convinced that in it the seeds of much future good have been sown. As respects ourselves we are in duty bound to speak well of the departed. We have striven honestly to do our duty to the public—to do our duty to the cause which we advocate and which we cona entiously believe to be the cause of truth; and we are happy to acknowledge that our exertions have been re warded with a fair measure of success. In commen cing the new year, we are emboldened to hope that increased exertions will meet with correspon*g re ward ; and in this hope, which is strengthened by the result of former efforts, we beg, whilst expressing our thanks for the share of support which we have re ceived, to wish our readers, each and all—" A happy New Year." By the paCket-ship Independence, Capt. Nye, which arrived here yesterday, we have received New York papers to the 10th ultimo, inclusive, being one day later than those brought by the Great Western. The President's message had not reached New York when the Independence sailed. 'Without the presence of a quorum, in both houses of Congress, no business can be transacted. In consequence of the great snow storm, and the impassable state of the roads, very few mem- hers had reached Washington up to the 9th ultimo, and the consequence was, that both houses stood again adjourned. There is very little general news in the paper of the 10th. We subjoin the most important extracts : NEW YORK MONEY MARKET. (From the New York Herald of December 11.) WEDNESDAY, DEC. 9.-5 r.M.—The Great Western ailed to-day at one o'clock, with a full freight-102,000 dol ars in specie -70 passengers—a letter bag yielding 1100 dol s at the Exchange, and probably 1400 dollars at the agent's She could not wait longer for the President's Mes sage. It will be seen, therefore, that the movement in specie still goes forward, in the face of resumption here. By the steamer and the other packets, this week, nearly 400,000 dollars specie has gone to Europe. This fact, at the be ginning of the winter season, when steam navigation will be nearly closed for three months, begins to alarm bankers in connection with the subject of specie payments at Philadel phia. In summer a ready supply could be imported from Europe, but this is not so easily effected in mid-winter. The resumption of the Philadelphia banks, on the 15th of anuary, if not sooner, which is now generally announced .nd believed, does not seem to give any animation to the narkets generally—indeed, the reverse is felt. In the stock narket a general fall has taken place, varying from to 2 ier cent. Money is also scarce and dearer. Narrowly examining the process of this resumption, and analysing the elements of which the movement is composed, it could not be expected that the mere announcement could exert a great effect on any branch of the markets. The Philadelphia banks alone comprehend a monied movement of about 100,000,000 dollars, to say nothing of the southern and south-western banks, which may be put down at 150,000,000 dollars more. How then could a negotiation for a sum equal to 2,500,000, with the capitalists of Philadelphia, lift, from a state of degradation and torpor, a monied movement of 250,000,000? The thing is ludicrous—and leads the shrewd inquirer to infer, that the whole negotiation is intended either for the benefit of some small speculators, or to be made the basis of a future movement, having a wider prospect of ad vantage to all the interests concerned. GREAT SNOW STORM.—On Friday last, about noon, r. heavy snow-storm commenced in this city and neighbour hood, which, although partially ceasing for a few hours on Saturday, broke out anew about eleven o'clock, A.M. on Sat urday, and continued all Saturday night and yesterday, until the time this paper went to press. There is now about 18 inches of snow upon the ground, upon a level, drifted in many places to 3 and 4 feet. So heavy a fall of snow in this city is not recollected since that of January 15, 1831, and so long continued a storm was never known here. Our streets are almost impassable. The mails are impeded, and all travelling is at present nearly at a stand. Several of the churches were shut up during the whole of yesterday, and divine service necessarily omitted therein.—National Intelliyencer, of Monday. THE SNOW—THE MAlLs.—The average depth of the snow which fell on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, is about 16 inches. In many places, owing to the driving north-easter which prevailed, it lies in drifts 10 or 12 feet high. The snow-storm here was a heavy rain-storm at Norfolk. The Northern and North Western mail, due here on Sun day at 2 P.M. by the Susquehanna railroad, arrived about 8 p.m. The mails by the same road, which were due yes terday, came in at the regular hour, the railroad track from this city to Columbia having been cleared, of snow. The Southern train, which left Washington at six o'clock yesterday morning, reached this city in about three hours. The snow ploughs in front of the locomotives are said to have worked to admiration, occasionally clearing the track where the snow had drifted even to the height of ten feet.—lbid. LATER.—Last night the Ohio railroad train came in, bringing two mails from the West, and one from the South west. ICE IN THE DELAWARE.—AII the vessels lying along the ends of the different wharfs yesterday morning were com pelled to haul inside of the docks; in order to avoid being cut through by the skim ice, large quantities of which came floating down yesterday,—Gazette, Dec. 9. THE WEATHER at Quebec, on the 30th, continued unu sually mild for the season, the thermometer standing at about 45. The roads and fields were nearly bare, and there was but little floating ice in the St. Lawrence. The travel in the vicinity, and as far down as L'lslet, was on wheels. WINTER NORTH.—There is excellent sleighing north. Snow is eighteen inches deep on the Catskill. Ice at New burgh is four inches thick. We have received our files of the Guiana Times to the 11th of November, inclusive. The Court of Po licy had met on the 27th of October, when Governor Light announced the important fact of his suspension by the Home Government. In making this announce ment he remarked that, acting in the spirit of " laud able moderation," so characteristic of their treatment of the colonists, the Home Government had again af forded to the Court of Policy, combined with the fin ancial representatives, an opportunity of acquiring the merit of a voluntary compliance with the duty of set tling a suitable Civil List on the Crown, and thus of " removing from the Combined Court the reproach which might be cast upon it." In laying before the Court the despatch of the Colonial Secretary, by which the conduct of the negotiations was devolved on Sir Henry M‘Leod, the Governor of the neighbouring island of Trinidad, he (Governor Light) only hoped that the arrival of that officer would enable the local authorities to promote and augment the prosperity of this most important and valuable colony. He breathed this prayer with the utmost fervour and sincerity; and, for the future portion of his government, neither daunted nor intimidated by any attacks that might be made upon him, he was ready to accept and appreciate the assistance of that court, and he hoped that that court, and the Combined Court also, would co-operate with the local authorities. His only object was to attain a satisfactory issue of the existing difficulties. The despatch of Lord John Russell was to the following effect :—" The recent despatches of Governor Light on the subject of the settlement of the civil list, had re ceived much of his (Lord John's) attention, and would, ere long, be fully answered, His immediate object was to apprise Governor Light, that the best way to bring the matter to a satisfactory close, would be to entrust the negociations to some person exempt from the difficulties inseparable from his (Mr. Light's) posi tion. Therefore, the Queen, on his (Lord John's) advice, had been adyised to commissisnk _SirAtenry M‘Leod, Governor of Trinidad, to come over for the temporary assumption of the government of British Guiana, for the specific and single purpose, however, of conducting these negotiations, and of experimenting whether the Combined Court were prepared to assent to a reasonable proposal for settling a civil list on the crown, and raising the annual supplies." Governor M`Leod was daily expected to arrive at Demerara. It was confidently rumoured in the colony that he would be invested with its government. The Guiana Times contains the following notice of the recent sales effected in the colony :—" Plantation Success has been purchased by Mr. Whyte for £30,000 sterling, and plantations Wales and Vrydestein by Messrs. Stuart and Matheson, jointly, for £30,000. Thus, with the exception of Coverden, which is aban doned, the great house of the Gladstones has now not a foot of ground in British Guiana. Are these pur chases so many arguments. for a belief in our pros perity ? By no means ! The estates are considered bargains for the money, and the purchasers, while they see that many are doing wretchedly ill, fondly fancy they themselves will be added to the number of the fortu nate few, who do well." The business transacted in the Court of Policy had been comparatively unimportant. A bill for the in corporation of the British Guiana Insurance Company, and another for the establishment of a corporate corn pany,to be called the British Guiana Steam Navigation Company, had been read a second time. It is quite perceptible from the strain of observation indulged in by the oracles of Whiggery, that when the next trial of strength shall take place between the two great parties that divide the kingdom, a desperate at tempt will be everywhere made to separate the tenantry from their landlords, indeed the hopes of the party seem to be mainly reduced to the possible success of this experiment ; and we may- therefore expect that they will work it with all the 'industry and ingenuity of which they are capable. There is a plausibility in their favour when the question is looked at within a limited range of view, of which every advantage is taken. They permit their readers to see no more than just a speck, or mere " punctum," of difference be tween a landlord and his tenants; and they ask with an air of triumph, " What right has a mere proprietor of inert matter to dictate to the mind or conscience of the persons who do him the favour to reside upon his estates ?—who made him a judge, or a ruler over them ?" The " eternal fitness of things" is appealed to, and the repeal of an ordinance so much at variance with their views and purposes loudly demanded. There are no means of making men really indepen dent, but by putting all parties on a level as to the tenure of property; and this is a result which nothing but a revolution could accomplish. That it sounds anomalous—and is perhaps, in the abstract, an ano maly—that men should be given a franchise which they cannot exercise in perfect independence, may possibly be defended ; but social government is very far yet from being raised to a perfect science, and some of the best-arranged attempts to reduce to prac ice theories of the most brilliant conception, have proved utterly abortive. 'We feel, therefore, supported in rejecting mere abstract theory as a test in deter mining the merit or demerit of any part of our consti tutional system; and avow it as our belief, that it would be quite possible to make that appear in theory erroneous, or even ridiculous and absurd, which in practice is attended by exceedingly few and trifling , inconveniences. The cry is now to make tenants independent of their landlords. But if this cry were to become effective, what would be the consequence ? Obviously, that property would cease to be repres nted in the great council of the nation, and mere numbers would carry the day. Thus we are met by revolution ; and the short of the matter is, that without a revolution the owners of large possessions cannot he divested of an influence which is inseparable from that ownership. " But this influence," say the Liberals, "works a griev ance; and if we cannot do all that we wish, we will do all that we can, to remove it." No doubt. But we wish to show that there is one arrangement which cuts the Gordian knot, and removes all difficulty ; and that is, the perfect unanimity of landlord and tenant on those delicate subjects whereon a difference is now likely to lead to unpleasant results. If the parties could be reconciled in this way, there would be no longer any real grievance to complain of. On this point we challenge contradiction ; and the course we would suggest as most prudent to follow—and we commend it to the especial attention of all liberal pen men of the public press—is to aim as much as possible at creating this unanimity and harmony of sentiment between the parties referred to, instead of widening the breach by attempting to instil into the minds of the tenants that they possess a degree of independence which in truth and in fact they do not. It is quite natural that the landlord should expect to be supported by his tenantry in political affairs. His consequence greatly depends upon it. But if, in general, he should espouse that cause and support those principles which are most in harmony with the spirit of our institutions, and most influential for the general good of the people, there would exist no cause whatever for regret that he should be supported by his tenantry in such a policy. " But," say the Liberals, " in point of fact, it is other wise. The landed interest is Conservative.' The landlords are opposed to the march of liberal ideas, and the privileges of the people; and they must there fore be opposed with might and main." It thus be comes a question of party principles, and doubtless it has that phasis ; but we wish to consider it at present under another aspect. Assuming, then, that the landed interest is Conservative, might we not reasonably say to any candid Whig—" Try your moral-force system on the landlords. They are fair game. Bring then; over to your side, if you can. If you gain them, you will have their tenantry also ; but desist from the at tempt to create division, and catch at the votes of the tenant in defiance of the power of the landlord. You see how inseparably they are connected together by the ties of property, and you perceive that these tI are indissoluble so long as the fabric of our constitu tion itself endures. The tenant is a dependant' upon his landlord. True. But what is social happi ness itself but one continued chain of dependencies ? The operative depends upon his employer—the shop keeper on his customers—the merchant on the shop keeper—the servant on his master—and the master upon the servant. Everywhere there is ' dependence' ; and it cannot be dispensed with in the relation of landlord and tenant, without introducing into the social system worse evils than those which are sought to be removed." Such is our appeal to any really liberal opponent. At the same time, we are far from saying that it would be prudent to rely too much upon its efficacy. We feel persuaded that the Popish Priests in Ireland would pay little regard to it. They possess a power in the genius of their terrific superstition that enables them to dispute, but too successfully, the landlord's influence over his tenantry; and while that power remains in their hands, it would be quite idle to expect that they should forbear to use it. In this country, it is our " fourth estate," or the radical portion of it at least, that constitutes the great antagonist of the landed proprietary; and far be it from us to say that this " estate" has tasted so little of the sweets of power as to have no relish for its enjoyment. We look upon the influence that a landlord is capa ble of using with his tenantry as one that, under just management, is decidedly for good. It is not neces sary that it should be used as the instrument of a mere arbitrary will ; since Conservatism is based on truth and sound principles, it may be wielded as a safe guide both to the conscience and the understanding. Con servatism has nothing to fear from light and discus sion ; but it is necessary that men should acquaint themselves thoroughly with its principles in order that they may be able to detect the sophistries with which it is continually assailed,—in order that they may dis seminate those principles widely among those with whom the circumstances of society place them in con tact,—and in order, further, that they may exert over such classes a mild and enlightened moral influence, which neither the agents of a dark superstition in the one country, nor those of a reckless spirit of change in the other, may be able to gainsay or subvert. Months ago the veracious scribes of the .21/orning Chronicle and Globe proclaimed that the Repeal agita-• tion in Ireland was " a complete failure," and that the Repeaters consisted only of a few idle vagabonds at Dubliti and two - or three other places. What will these honest journalists now say, when they find that the great mass of the Popish population of Ireland has been organised into a grand confederation of rebels, ready to take the field at the beck of the arch-agitator ? Will they have the candour to acknowledge that they were in error ? Or, rather, we should say, will they confess that they designedly endeavoured to mislead the people of England by their cunning efforts to throw ridicule upon a traitorous plot which they had not the courage openly to denounce ? We especially recommend to the notice of the mini sterial hacks the following recapitulation of O'Con nell's recent triumphs, as uttered by him at the last meeting of the Repeal Association " We have had in the portion of the year that has passed," said he, " first the provincial meeting in Connaught—(cheers.) The province of Connaught met, and the first place that met was my friend's county, Mayo -- (cheers.) The county of Galway next met, and the town of Galway met. We had the provincial meeting in Tuam, which was attended by the greater number of the nobility of the province, the baronets, the magistrates, the deputy-lieutenants, and the gentlemen of large fortunes, and by the people. We had the wealth of Connaught and its respectability and gentry surrounding us. The next steo we took was to call a provincial meeting in the province of Leinster, and on the occasion of that meeting I made myself heard by 250,000 repealers in Kilkenny. We h av e called the provincial meeting of the province of Mun ster, which will take place in Cork, on the 11th of next month. I shall not leave the North without saying one word about Monaghan. I have reason to know that in Monaghan, with proper assistance, they will be able to return two Liberals at the next election for' the county—(hear, hear, and cheers.) The people of Monaghan have made great and heavy sacrifices in support of Liberal principles, and I may add, by way of parenthesis, that this association will stand by them—(loud cheers.) Such is the progress of repeal through the provinces.
