BOMBAY, JUNE 19.—Our accounts from China are to tl 2d of April, only two days later than those brought by the steamer Queen on the 20th of that month, and which we re ceived in June. Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, who had been in Calcutta since the middle of March, left that place for Canton in the steamer Queen on the 25th of May, to re sume his offices as naval commander and joint plenipotentiary in China. He takes with him numerous reinforcements, and others are following in transports. The whole fleet may be expected to reach Canton by the beginning of July. As soon as his excellency rejoins the squadron, there can be but little doubt that hostile operations will be renewed. It is probable this expedition will be too late to get up the Peiho this year. They may retake Chusan, and the steamers might reconnoitre to the northward, but we doubt if mutters will be finally arranged until the season of 1842. The results of this supplementary expedition are looked forward to with the greatest anxiety, for upon the prudent management of the force must entirely depend the question of our future rela tions with the Chinese. At Macao eur 'troops and the fleet still remained in position awaiting reinforcements and orders, while the Emperor of China, inflamed to the highest pitch of anger by the presumptuous proceedings of the British in at tacking his towns and destroying his ships, was issuing furious edicts and decrees against them. One of his edicts, in reference to the capture of the Bogue Forts, contains the following words :—" They have carried their unsubmissive rebellion to this extreme, and I (the emperor) now swear that both powers shall not stand, one or other must conquer or die." There was an attempt made lately by an Arab, who en listed a few soldiers, to create confusion in the South Mah ratta country, where he seized the fort of Buddamee ; but some troops having been sent against him, he was speedily routed, and the fort retaken. The details have been published of the murder of the cap tain and other officers of the brig Freak by some convicts 'who were going on board her to Singapore. The brig Memnon, which left this port for Liverpool, having suffered some damage, put back, and was wrecked at the entrance of the harbour. For several days she expe rienced very boisterous weather, encountering a tremendous ' sea, and labouring and pitching fearfully. On the 9th inst., having got nearly as far as the latitude of Cape Ramus, dis covered that the head of the topmast on , the larboard side was sprung and gone, which prevented sail being set, and rendered it unsafe for-,the ship to proceed on her voyage. She was in consequence obliged to put back, and yesterday afternoon was off the mouth of the harbour, a little to the northward, and, in attempting to work in, struck on the rocks, between seven and eight o'clock, where she now lies, the sea breaking over her, and will probably soon go to pieces. We are happy to add that no lives were lost ; the greater part of the crew took to the boats during the night, and the captain and the remainder landed this morning. The greater part of her cargo, consisting chiefly of cotton, is now floating about the harbour in a sadly damaged state. A V&A./ • Apprehensions were also ereated in consequence of a few cotton bales, which were proved to have been embarked on board the Buckinghamshire prior to her departure on the sth instant, having been found floating at a distance of 50 miles off; but as they were known to have been on the deck, it is supposed the captain ordered them to be thrown overboard during the gales at the beginning of the monsoon. The Berkshire has arrived from Australia, and brings news to the 17th of April. The Ferguson, having a portion of her Majesty's 50th regiment on board, was wrecked in Torres Straits. The vessel was abandoned, and the officers, soldiers, and crew embarked in the Marquis of Hastings. No lives were stated to be lost. _ _ _ There is a warm discussion going forward respecting some irregular trading under various passes, to which the govern ment has properly decided on putting a stop. Mr. Dunlop, one of the members of the Bombay Council, has resigned the service of the Hon. Company. Those of her Majesty's subjects who profess the Roman Catholic religion, and speak the Portuguese language in this island, have been much surprised by finding that the supreme court has committed an Italian friar, who calls himself " vicar general," for having, notwithstanding the special order of the court served on him, married a boy and a ward of the court, aged 16 years, to a young lady of 18. The contempt was a gross one, and the friar and mother of the lady remain in the public gaol CALCUTTA The government have just raised their exchange to 2s. ld., which is about the quotation for good private bills. They have now got 99 lacs subscribed to their new five per cent loan. The subscriptions come in very slowly, and quite dis proportionate to the pressing wants of the state. Dost Mo hammed was there, residing at Alipore, and Ajeet Singh, a Punjaubee chief, who went there on a mission from Chund Koonwur, the widow of Kurruck Singh. They had also at Calcutta the King of Joanna, who had fled from Madagascar, but was to leave on the 6th f June for the Mauritius. In Affghanistan and Scinde matters remain pretty nearly in statu quo. These countries are not settled, nor are likely to be settled for some time. We have favourable accounts of Colonel Stoddart's condition, and it is stated that his sufferings have not affected his reason. The withdrawal of our troops, which was to have followed shortly after the instalment of Shah Shoojah in the Bala-Hessar, is a contingency so remote, that it is doubtful whether the present century will see it. Nussur Khan, the hereditary boy-chief of Khelat, is still dancing about Upper Scinde, and Colonel Stacy is following him. He is a tool in the hands of his designing minister, and is obliged to wander through the mountainous districts of Beloochistan, instead of making terms with the British general, and through those means ascending the throne oc copied by his father CABUL His Puissant Majesty Shah Shoojah 00l Moolk arrived at his capital en the 30th of April, attended by the Envoy and General Elphinstone. The guns fired a royal salute, arms were presented, and the colours lowered as he passed through the street formed for him. THE PUNJAB. That some grounds existed for expectation of further dis turbance in the Punjab, and of evidences of a spirit actively hostile to British India, may be implied from the fact that Mr. Clerk, whose information from the Punjab is constant and correct, has lately prohibited the march of British offi cers through that country. The Bengal Hurkaru says the Punjab is all tumult Ind excitement, and the rebellious troops are still the dominant power. A strong force is al ready assembling on the frontier, all eager to be put in mo tion, and we have little doubt that it will seem fit to our rulers, though evidently averse from such a measure, to move the forces across the Sutlej at the expiration of the rains. nERAT The rumours about the Persians having advanced to Herat are without the least foundation. The King of Persia has no faith in Yar Mohamed's promises, and refuses to have aught to say to him. We do not know whether to believe the report of Yar Mohamed having given in to the very terms which Major Todd demanded of him or not, but we hope it is true, and that we may congratulate the government upon the possession of a strohghold, so far as the garrisoning of it may place it in our power, which will assuredly do much towards the tranquillizing the intermediate country between Cabal and Candahar ; will not be without its good effects in working out the pacification of Scinde ; be an effectual check upon intrigue from Russia, and enable us to keep the strictest surveillance upon the truckling Schah of Persia. The Friend of India of the 27th, intimates the departure of the supplementary expedition from Calcutta, under the command of Sir Gordon Bremer, :and observes, that the whole fleet may be expected to reach Canton by the beginning of July. No information has been gleaned with regard to the course intended to be pursued on its arrival, and the opinions expressed on this point vary a good deal. On one hand it is asserted that Pekin will be attacked—on another, that Chusan will be re-captured. We certainly cannot see the policy of the latter measure. The taking of Pekin would demonstrate our strength in such a manner that the Celestial Emperor himself, with all his bitter animosity against us, and all his bragging and boasting, w ou ld be com pelled to solicit peace, and respect the power, barbarian though it were, he was not able to conquer. It is the immoderate insolence, and unbounded pride of the ruler, that we should endeavour to reduce. Let him view with his own eyes the force of a British assault, and the impotence of a Chinese opposition, and we will answer for it he will be glad to accept terms, even less advantageous to him than those which were arranged between his high commissioner and our ple nipotentiary, and which have conduced to the immorta lisation of the latter. The rapidity with which all the pre parations for the despatch of the second expedition were made, and the able and efficient manner in which every thins connected with it was managed, are highly creditable to Sir Gordon Bremer. His stay at Calcutta did not exceed a month. We are not aware what the exact amount of the force is in tended to be. The whole of her majesty's 55th regiment, with the exception of a few men which one of the transports was obliged to return and disembark in consequence of inade quate accommodations, has proceeded to China from Calcutta, and it is reported that the transport David Malcolm is to be employed in the conveyance of seven officers and one hundred and seventy-eight men of the Cameronians ; and that the John Adams and Mermaid will be taken tip for nine officers and two hundred and forty men of her majesty's 41st regmt. It seems that an extensive river service is contemplated, as the steamer's boats with some others, have been fitted up with carronades, &c, for the purpose. The Phlegethon steamer, which arrived at Calcutta from Ceylon on the 23d May, it was said would be added to the force, and the Lady William Bentinck, pilot brig, mounting 12 guns, and a clip per schooner armed with one carronade and four musque toons, have been already sent on. The Lady William Ben tinck left in tow of the Queen. The Madras troops are to be commanded by Lieut.-Col. Elderton. Detachments of the artillery and sappers, under Captain Pears and Lieuten ant Ouchterlony, are to proceed to complete the companies in China. Her majesty 't; troop ship Jupiter is to convey these troops, as well as the rifle company of the Ist N. 1., now at Masulipatam. THE EMPEROR AND THE FALL OF THE BOCCA TIGRIS. At five o'clock on Of; 28th day of the second moon (20th March, 1841), the imperial commands arrived in this pro vince, as follows : " The English rebelling on a former occasion, and having seized upon the fortresses of Shakuli and Taekuh, wounding our high and subordinate officers and troopers, have caused us to gnash our teeth with combined imprecations. We therefore specially deputed Yihshan, Lungwan, and Yang fang to assemble from every quarter the efficient troops, and to advance and exterminate the enemy. But now they have attacked and destroyed the fortress of. Foomun (Bocce Ti gris), and have even recklessly dared to approach near to the confines of the city , (Canton), creating vast confusion. Being destitute of all reason, contemptuously regarding our celestial dynasty, they have carried their unsubmissive re bellions to this extreme; and I, the Emperor, now swear, that both powers shall not stand (one or the other must conquer or die). Let Yihshan, Lungwan, and Yangfang, at the time reckoned upon for their arrival, forthwith put in order our patriotic troops, and with undivided effort seize the English barbarians, and make an entire extermination and end of the whole of them. Then will subside our wrath ful indignation. If the whole number of them be not thus effectually destroyed, how shall I, the Emperor, be able to answer to the gods of the heaven and the earth, and cherish the hopes of our people ? Respect this." Again have the imperial commands been received, as follows : _ ...._ ..... " The rebellious barbarians, having formerly seized upon the forts of Shakuh and Tackuh, wounding our high and subordinate officers and troops, was cause for still more in creased attention to rigorous means of defence. But on the Bth day of the 2nd moon (February 28. 1841) these rebellious barbarians destroyed our position of Foomun, evincing that all the great officers of the said region were entirely in a state of utter unpreparedness, and that the military affairs of Kwangtung province were in a ruinous and unfit condi tion. Let the generals of the army, therefore, of this region, together with the governor, lieutenant-governor, assistant generals literary chancellor, the judge, intendant of the cir cult (Taoutee), with the Foo, Chow, and Heen magistrates 12 .e a y n lld l isgraced from their rank, but retained in office until 11 1 ,, maackaeo, m up a t r li ch ei 3 r o d , e l l Bl in l q . u , e , ncies by efficiency of effort. Respect this. Dost Mahommed Khan had reached Calcutta as a pri soner of war. The King of Madagascar, expelled by his subjects, has arrived at Calc utta to solicit British aid to reinstate him. The Sesostris, two iron steamers, and the Larne, are a waiting at Bombay the ar r i va l of Sir H. Pottinger and Sir W. Parker. ROYAL PROGRESS. DEPARTURE OF HER MAJESTY AND PRINCE ALBERT FROM WOBURN. At eleven o'clock her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert and suite, in three royal carriages a i and four, left the hospitable mansion of the Duke and Duch- ess of Bedford, after 'staying three nights, for Pansanger, Herts, to honour the Earl and Countess Cowper with a short A party of the 11th huzzars, under the command of Lieut. Sutton, arrived at Woburn at ten minutes to eleven, shortly after which the Queen's carriages drove to the west front entrance, and the Queen and Prince entered the vesti bule. Her Majesty was conducted to her carriage, an open one, by the noble duke, who went with her Majesty and his royal highness on horseback as far as the large gate on the Lon don road. The Marquis of Headfort, Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Hon. Miss Cavendish, and Col. Buckley, in waiting on her Majes ty ; and Col. Bouverie and Mr. Edward Curzon, in atten dance on his Royal Highness Prince Albert, followed in two carriages. _ In concluding this notice of the royal visit to Woburn Abbey, it may be observed that her Majesty is the first crowned head who has visited that ancient seat of the Rus sell family since Queen Elizabeth and Charles 1., who, in their respective reigns, partook of its splendid hospitalities. The facilities afforded to our correspondent, both by the duke and duchess, demand our acknowledgments, and it is but right to observe that the arrangements were without ex ception worthy of unlimited praise. Mr. Palfreymau (the noble duke's house steward) has throughout been indefati gable in every department, and indeed nothing escaped that could contribute an eclat to the visit of royalty. THE ROYAL ROUTE. The royal route was through the little village of Hockliffe, and through Dunstable, Market-street, and St. Alban's, and from thence by the Hatfield road to Pansanger. _ At Hockliffe all those simple demonstrations of popular regard were evin'ed by its humble inhabitants, nearly every dwelling-house being decorated in some way or other with flags, bouquets of flowers, and evergreens, and in several places lines of laurels and flowers, from the centre of which was suspended a floral crown, extended across the road. That otherwise retired spot was very full of strangers. On reaching Dunstable, the troop of the 11th hussars was relieved by an escort of the Hertfordshire yeomanry cavalry, (the Hon. Mr. Grimston's troop,) and, after a change of horses, the Queen and royal retinue left for St. Alban's. A. superb triple arch was erected before the principal inn, with the usual inscriptions of " Welcome Victoria and Albert," " God bless the Princess Royal," &c., and tastefully orna mented with a profusion of flowers. The town is known to be the chief residence of persons engaged in the making of straw plait for bonnets, and it seemed they were determined to intimate to her majesty the nature of the craft they fol lowed, for nearly fifty " Dunstable" bonnets, of all shapes and sizes, were attached to the upper part of the triumphal arch. At Market-street the narrow carriage-way was densely crowded, and owing to that circumstance the royal cortege was only enabled to make progress at a slow place, and what with a grand triumphal arch and the general decorations of the houses, the loyal inhabitants of that village deserve credit for their display on this occasion. The preparations at St. Alban's were, on a more extensive scale. A very splendid temporary arch was erected in the High-street; and, on each side, raised seats accommodated several hundreds of the leading gentry and inhabitants of that ancient town. An immense multitude had gathered long before the arrival of her majesty. A relay of horses was provided at thelVerulam Arms, were another change was made in the escort, the hon. Mr. Grimston's troop being succeeded by that of the Marquis of Salisbury, colonel com mandant of that fine corps, which was appointed to escort the illustrious visitors to Pansanger. The Queen and Prince were received with the most rapturous applause, and every mark of respect and joy was shown by the thousands who formed the multitude. _ PANSANGER, HERTs, THURSDAY NIGHT. Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert reached Pansanger Park at a quarter past two this afternoon, on a visit to the Earl and Countess Cowper, from Woburn Abbey, the seat of the Duke and Duchess of Bed, ford. Long before the arrival of the illustrious visitors, the road from the park gates on the Hatfield-road was lined on each side with spectators from Hertford and all parts of the county, desirous of witnessing the arrival of the Queen, and the carriages of the local gentry were very numerous. It is almost superfluous to add that the reception of the Queen and Prince was of the most enthusiastic description. On reaching the north entrance, her Majesty and his royal highness were immediately received by the Earl and Countess Cowper ; and the Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde, Viscount Melbourne, Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, Lord and Lady Ashley, Hon. W. Cowper, Viscount and Viscountess Leveson, Viscount Duncannon, Mr. and Lady Mary Vyner, and Mr. Greville, were assembled in the ves tibule. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland and Earl and Countess De Grey arrived from Woburn Abbey shortly after the royal visitors. _ The Earl Cowper, at the head of his troop of the Hert fordshire yeomanry cavalry, relieved the Hatfield troop at the park gate, and formed an escort to her Majesty to the mansion, a distance of nearly two miles. The banquet was served up in the gallery, when her Ma jesty the Queen, and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Earl and Countess Cowper, Duke and Duchess of Suther land, Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde, Earl and Countess De Grey, Viscount Melbourne, Viscount Dun cannon, Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, Viscount and Viscountess Leveson, Lord and Lady Ashley, Hon. VT. Cowper, Mr. and Lady Mary Vyner, Mr. Greville, and the Marquis of Headfort, Dowager Lady Lyttleton, Hon. Miss Cavendish, Colonel Buckley, Colonel Bouverie, and Mr. E. Anson, constituted the circle. The Earl and Countess of Verulam, and the Marquis of Salisbury, and Lady Mildred Cecil, came from Gorhambury and Hatfield House shortly before eight, and had the honour to join the party. _ PANSANGER, FRIDAY EVENING Yesterday, late in the afternoon, her majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Earl and Countess Cowper, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde, Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, Earl and Countess De Gray, Viscount Duncannon, Lord and Lady Ashley, and the other distinguished guests, who bad the honour to receive invitations to meet the royal visitors, promenaded the flower garden, situate on the right from the mansion, laid out with considerable taste, in the Flemish style, and afterwards passed across the terrace to the garden facing the east front. It is arranged in the style of Louis Quatorze, and from the parterres being divided so as to give at a glimpse the escutcheons of the Cowper family and De Grey (the Countess Cowper's) family, with the crests, it has a most singular and altogether unique effect. This morning the Queen and Prince, immediately after the breakfast, went alone across the park, and privately visited the picturesque little village of Hertingfordbury. At a quarter before one the mayor of Hereford (Mr. John Lawrence), with the Rev. Mr. Skrimshire, Rev. Mr. Lowe, and a deputation, including the town councillors, gentry, &c, of the borough, waited upon her majesty to present congra tulatory addresses to her majesty and his royal highness the Princess Albert. At one o'clock her Majesty, with the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, Countess Cowper, Marchioness of Clanri ricarde, Countess De Grey, Viscount and Viscountess Leve son. Lord and Lady Ashley, Dowager Lady Lyttleton, Hon. Miss Cavendish, Viscountess Palmerston, and Mr. Greville, left in five carriages for Bracket Hall, near Welwyn, escorted by a troop of the Hertfordshire yeomanry cavalry, under the command of Lieut. Thornton and Adjutant Smith. At five o'clock her Majesty returned to Pansanger. His Royal Highness Prince Albert and the noble equestrians did not arrive until nearly a quarter of an hour after the Queen. The Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert leave Pansanger at noon, to-day, for Windsor Castle, her Majesty being desirous of taking farewell of the Queen of the Bel gians before her Majesty and the youthful Duke of Brabant depart for Ostend. An escort of the 11th hussars, under the command of Lieut. Cunningham at Hertford, escorts the Queen for ten miles, and other detachments of that regiment are sta tioned the whole distance to Windsor Castle. PANSHANGER, JULY 31. The banquet yesterday was served in the picture gallery, as on the previous day. The noble host presided, her Majesty and Prince Albert being on his right. The. Hertford glee singers, who on the previous day sang in a temporary orchestra erected outside the south window of the picture gallery, were on Friday honoured by being placed within the banquet hall, and sang a number of glees during the repast. The picture gallery, though small in extent, is worthy of particular notice for the elegance of its architecture, and the splendid specimens of the best masters with which it is adorned. It is entered through an ante-room, supported by four marble columns of great beauty. The gallery, like the rest of the building, is of the Gothic order, with some portion of Grecian in the detail. Her Majesty's chair, which was in the centre of the east side, was immediately facing the ante room, and must have commanded a scene of great beauty. The sideboard at the north end of the room was covered with a profusion of splendid plate, amongst which two massive seal vases, formerly in the possession of the Lord Chancellor: Cowper, ancestor of the present earl, and on which are chased portraits of Queen Elizabeth, the one being an eques trian portrait, were much admired. Two smaller gold vases, of Egyptian character, presented by his Majesty George 111. to Lord Fordwich, his godson, also attracted considerable observation. This morning, Saturday, Her Majesty breakfasted in her private sitting room, and immediately after breakfast walked out, accompanied by his Royal Highness, through the park, wholly unattended, visiting the Panshanger oak, a tree situated in the rear of the mansion, and justly celebrated for its immense size and the surpassing beauty of its growth, for which it has not its rival in the kingdom. The Royal pair subsequently repaired on foot to the dwelling of the park keeper, a neat little cottage, situated at about a mile from the hall, in a picturesque valley, through which the river winds, presenting many views of exceeding beauty, enhanced by the luxuriance of the well-wooded slopes on either side. The arrangements made here for the sports of the field, the dogs, &c., were honoured by the personal inspection of Her Majesty and her Royal consort, who appeared to take great interest in the scene, and was graciously pleased to express his approbation of the neatness and regularity preserved in the estAblishment. Upon the return of the Royal pair to the mansion, prepa rations were made for im me di a t e d eparture from Panshanger. The park, in the direction of St. Alban's, known as the Colt green-gate, was, as on Thursday, liberally thrown open to the public, thousands of whom had assembled in the course of the morning to testify by their acclamations their loyalty for their Sovereign, and estimation of the honour conferred upon the county by the Royal visit. Precisely at eleven o'clock, her Majesty and Prince Albert having taken leave of their noble hostess, Lady Cowper, and the distinguished guests, stepped into the travelling carriage, followed in a second carriage by the Ladies in Waiting, the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, and the Hon. Miss Cavendish, and a third carriage containing Colonels Buckley and Bouverie, the Equerries in Waiting, and Mr. E. Anson, his Royal Highness's Secretary, Earl Cowper and his brother, the Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., rode on horseback by the side of the Royal carriage as far as the park gate. The cortege was escorted by a party of the South Herts yegmanry under the command of Lieutenants Sutton and Thornton, and Cornet J. M. Carter. A more exciting scene than that presented throughout the drive of the Royal party through the park has seldom been witnessed. The strictest decorum was observed, whilst each vied with the other in testifying their feelings of loyalty and park her Majesty an d su i te proceeded at at t ac hment. a rapid U P Upon p l a e c a e vngt throughe m Hatfield ii e s Beyond an the d St. AI b formeran's towards w place ards Windthe sor.

ROBERT PEEL'S SPEECH AT TAMWORTH. j The constituency of Tamworth were invited to meet Sir Robert Peel at a public dinner on Wednesday last, when the right hon. baronet delivered the following speech. Differing as it does in toto from the snappishness and deception which were the prominent characteristics of the written address lately given to the world by Lord John Russell, it cannot fail to do good to the conservative cause After the usual loyal toasts had been proposed, W. S. Dug dale, Esq., M.P., for North Warwickshire, rose, and in a highly complimentary speech gave the health of the right hon. mronet Slr R. PEEL then said—Gentlemen, I thank you most cor dially for the kind manner in which you have received the proposal that has just been made to you. Gentlemen, that proposal could not have come from any quarter more accep table to my feelings than from a valued neighbour and friend, the'representative" of the county in which I believe we are now situated—a most zealous and faithful comrade in the great political struggle in which we have been engaged, and a son of a man for whose character and virtues I entertain the highest respect. (Loud cheers.) As this is the first oc casion on which we have met since the late election, I am bound to express my acknowledgments to you for that proof of your renewed confidence, and if in returning those acknow- ledgments I do not make use of any high-flown and extrava gant expressions of gratitude, it is because I do not consider that confidence to be merely an act of personal favour, or of honorary distinction. lam deeply sensible of the obligations which it imposes, and the return I ought to make to you is not in extravagant expressions of thankfulness, but it is by the faithful and zealous discharge of public duties, by pro- rooting to the utmost of my power your local and peculiar in terests, where they do not conflict with the general good, and by upholding those political principles which I expressed to you when I sought for the honour of your suffrages. Gen tlemen, Ido intend to uphold those political principles. I think it hardly necessary, after the active part which I have taken in public affairs—after having been called upon not to vote, but to deliver an opinion on almost every public ques tion which has been submitted to parliament for many years past—it can hardly be necessary for me to state to you what are my political principles, and what are my views of the great questions which are likely to occupy public attention. Gentlemen, when I was called to office by the favour of my sovereign, I did convey to the inhabitants of Tamworth my general views with respect to the principles on which public affairs ought to be conducted. Gentlemen, it is true that at a more recent period in the last year, when a resolution was proposed, implying a want of confidence in the present ad ministration, I did also state what were my views with re- spect not only to the general principles on which the admi nistration of affairs should be conducted, but with respect to almost every public measure to which attention was then di rected. And, gentlemen, on a review of the declarations which I made in 1835, and a review of the opinions which I expressed with regard to particular measures in 1840, I have nothing now to retract. I entertain the opiniuns which I then professed, and it is •my intention, whether in a pri . vate or in an official capacity, to act upon those declarations. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I shall not presume, whatever may be the speculations as to the majority which the conser7 w waive party may exhibit on the meeting dparliament—l shall not presume to dictate in what manner her Majesty may think fit to exercise her prerogative. I retain my opinion that no government in this country ought to continue ii the adminis tration of the public affairs unless it possesses the confidence parliament. (Great cheering.) But, while I respect that Istitutional principle, I hold in equal respect the preroga ! of the crown ; and it is not for .any individual to pre- slime in what manner that prerogative may be exercised. Gentlemen, I am constantly asked what it is I mean to pro pose, supposing I am called to the administration of affairs? Gentlemen, I will answer that question when I am placed in that position. (Cheers.) My advice for the present is, dis miss those who are at present in office. (Shouts of ap- plause.) They have not the confidence—they had not the confidence of parliament, and they have not the confidence of the people. Change your physician, the patient has not confidence in him. They found her in health and they left her in sickness ; and then they say to me, what do you pre scribe ? But I'll wait till I'm regularly called in. (Laughter) Gentlemen, I see around me some of my attached friends. of the medical profession, and I appeal to them whether they do not cordially concur with me that it is not fit that any man should offer the prescription whilst another administers the physic. (Laughter.) No, gentlemen, he would be act ing the part of an irregular practitioner—the part of a quack doctor, and not of a professional man, who should profess that he had some invaluable nostrum which, without being consulted by the patient, or allowed to feel his pulse, would prove a perfect remedy for whatever disease he may labour under. I therefore, gentlemen, must continue steadily to refuse to offer my advice until I have access to the patient, and all those advantages of consultation, without which no proper advice can be given. I really believe Ido more than any political physician ever did by referring to the prescrip tions which I offered in 1835 and in 1810, and by saying that I see no reason to alter them. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, I am almost surprised to find myself here, for if I could have believed the newspapers—the organs of her Majesty's government, I should find myself on the continent, having taken refuge in a foreign country on account of the embar rassments in which 1 am involved from the number of applica tions which I receive, or perhaps it may be on account of the desperate condition in which I find public affairs. I need hard ly tell you—for you, I believe, give no credit for the assertion —that I have not the slightest intention of visiting the con tinent, but that I do intend, on the 19th of August to be present in my place in parliament, personally to witness the result of the appeal which has been made to the people of this country. Now, gentlemen, this and other paragraphs which I read in the newspapers, I do assure you I see with great good humour. I think great allowance must be made for the rage and mortification which are exhibited by those organs of the government, considering the constant predic tions which we had from them from day to day, and from week to week, as to the result of the elections. We were first told of a large majority which would be possessed by her majesty's government, and I received expressions of sympa thy for the melancholy condition to which I should he reduced in having to look forward with reduced numbers to a long occupation of the uncomfortable benches of opposition. (Laughter.) Why, gentlemen, this very day, talking of these paragraphs, I cannot help alluding to it, but I don't know if you have seen an article in large letters in the Globe news paper. Why, gentlemen, our fat friend, the publican near us, has produced a Globe newspaper, and in it appears the old story of Mr. Harrison and his demand for 16s. Gd. (Laughter.) It is in large letters " from a correspondent." Whenever there is any particularly shabby paragraph it is always " from a correspondent." (Cheers and laughter.) But really this is too bad ; for this publican is converted into my attached friend Mr. Robinson, who is made to complain of the non-payment of 16s. Gd., and that, from the magnani mous way in which he challenged me on the hustings only, he secured the payment to him of that sum. All I ask of you is, that when you see these paragraphs, you will let no consideration induce you to retaliate. Let no vain desire of seeing yourselves figure as correspondents of a newspaper— of seeing paragraphs in print indited by yourselves—induce you to send to any newspaper the small and petty scandal you may happen to pick up in your own locality. Pass these things by with perfect contempt ; for be assured of this, that if they do injury to any one it will be to those who occupy themselves with such contemptible matters. (Hear.) Now, gentlemen, I will read to you another paragraph—it is beaded " The Queen and Sir Robert Peel." (Laughter.) It comes from the Globe again, the organ of her majesty's govern ment. (Loud laughter.) "On dit, that the Queen has heard of the vain boastings of Sir Robert Peel, that if he again catne into power he would make her a tory (or a conservative, as he said) in six weeks, and that consequently the right hon. baronet is more disliked than ever at head-quarters." Now, gentlemen, observe it is not confidently asserted, it is only " reported," that the queen had heard the vain boast, but there is no doubt at all about my having used the expression. The correspondent says " a tory" (or conservative, as he says). Now, when a person is so particular, who can doubt his veracity ? Gentlemen, I trust that I need hardly say to you that the whole of this paragraph is a mere fabrication. (Loud cheers.) Need I say that I never made this indecent boast ? (Continued cheering.) I refer to these things with out anger or irritation—quite the reverse. I think that such paragrahs afford the most satisfactory proofs that there is very little which can be said from that quarter, provided the truth be adhered to. Gentlemen, if it were possible to sup pose that her majesty could look at these miserable fabrica tions, which are evidently intended to injure me in her ma jesty's opinion, I very much doubt, not only whether her majesty would attach any credit to them, but more than that, whether there would not be excited feelings of indignation at the presumptuous familiarity w hi c h u n de r takes to answer for the private feelings of her majesty. (Immense cheering.) I must say that it any one thing can be more unwarrantable than another in the conduct of a portion of the public press, it is their attempt to repres en t her ma jesty, not as what she is in truth and in fact, the beloved sovereign of a whole peo ple, but as the, partisan of a party in the state. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, do not misunderstand me. There is no man who estimates more highly than I do the importance of the press of this country. I know its influence on the conduct of public men. It is impossible that men of such ability and such acquirements as those who devote themselves to political discussion in the public press of this country can do otherwise than exercise a great influence on public affairs, provided they confine themselves within the legitimate sphere of action ; but if there be anything which more than another neutralises the just and legitimate influence of the press, which must dimini s h it s con t rou l ove r public men, and which must also diminish the confidence of the public in its assertions or its arguments, it is when the press appelds to reasonable men, through erroneous fabrications like these, for the purpose of damaging the character of those to whose politics it may be opposed. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, Ido not think I should have been induced to say a word to you on the subject of party interests—l should have been content to acquiesce in a suspension of hostilities, considering the near approach of the period when the combatants must meet face to face—l say I would have been perfectly content to acqui esce in this, if 1 had not recently seen a public manifesto put forth by Lord John Russell, the leader of the House of Commons, which, from the tone it assumes towards the op ponents of the government, relieves you from any scruples on that head, and imposes on me the necessity of making a very few remarks. This manifesto professes to take a review of the present state of affairs, or rather of past events ; and it recites, with the utmost satisfaction, the victories that have been achieved by her majesty's present advisers. Gen tlemen, this paper also talks of the dexterity which the oppo nents of government have shown in inventing facts, but I must say that, w h a t eve r dexterity we may have shown in in venting facts, the dexterity of the noble lord in forgetting them far surpasses us.—(Cheers and laughter.) If there were any foundation for this long array of facts, 1 might perhaps complain of the triumphant tone taken towards vanquished opponents. But if this w ere a true and fair re. presentation of the state of things, then would the r esu lt o f government, the late appeal to the people be more marvellous t han it is at present. It is surprising that her ma j est y 's having held the reigns of power six y ears, possessing, as is their constant boast, the entire c onfidence of their sovereign, use,. that has . been . made by banner . of the Hon. seeing the use, the improper s candidate"—l say some candidates of the name of their sovereign —it was only yesterday that I saw inscribed on the Mr. Petre, " Vote for Petre, the Queo' the big loaf to the it is surprising that, notwithstanding this, and the ap peal to the female portion of the population with reference to cheap sugar, and the cry of labouring classes, the constituency and the people have rati fied the decision of the late House of Commons, namely, that her majesty's present advisers did not possess the confid enceo f the House of Commons, and that the ir retention of office under such circumstances, was at variance with the spirit of the constitution. (Cheers.) It has not been the Ch an d os clauses that has produced this result. The counties, it is true, may have declared themselves against the present government, and it may be said that some of the counties which are more intimately c onnected with the agricultural districts have manifested th e ir zeal against government on account of the danger with which those interests were threatened ; but it was not the Chandos clause that ret urne d two members for the city of London —it was not the Chandos clause that, for the first time since the reform bill, returned a member for the city of Westminster —nor was it the Chandos clause that wrested one seat from the opposite party -in the great manufacturing community of Leeds. (Cheers,) It was also something more than the Chandos clause that re turned two members for Hull, and two for the city of Dublin, two for Belfast, and two for Liverpool. (Continued cheer ing.) It was not the Chandos clause that returned four members for the great county of Lancaster, and frightened any ministerial candidate from opposing Lord Stanley, Lord F. Egerton, Mr. Wilson Patten, or Mr. Wilbraham. It was not the Chandos clause that returned two members for that district of immense importance, as connected with the vital manufacturing interests of this country, the West Riding of Yorkshire—(lond cheers}—which has disposied from his scat in parliament a nobleman whom from his abilities, com bined with his virtues, it is impossible to mention without respect. No, gentlemen, there must have been some cause which has led to this expression of public opinion other than the influence of landlords over tenants. The counties, no doubt, have made returns in an increased number unfavour able to the government; but if you look to the towns and boroughs containing populations exceeding 10,0,03 inhabi tants, even where they have little or no connection with the agricultural interest, the cry of cheap bread and cheap sugar has totally failed. The returns for those places have been, more unfavourable to ministers than they were in the last par liament. How, let me ask, is this to be accounted for? It is be- cause the constituencies of this empire, representing as they do the people of this empire, have no confidence in her majesty's government. They have had the good sense to review the whole course of the government, from the commencement of its power to its close—from the appropriation clause, which excluded me from office, to that vote which Was carried at my instance—(cheers)—and which declared that her maje- _ , sty's government did not possess the confidence of the coun try. (Cheers.) It was not the mere policy that the people condemned—it was not the question relating to coru ; but the people of England were Of opinion that no government of this country ought to retain power without the confidence of the nation—that to do so was an injury to the representa tive principle, and a violation of all constitutional doctrine, and the result has been a decided declaration on the part of the constituencies, in conformity with the vote of the late late House of Commons, that the present' government is not entitled to the public confidence. (Cheers.) And gentle men, if you will review the course of the government and re member the expression put into the mouth of the sovereign in the year 1834, in which the king, at the instance of the go vernment, made use of the following words :. " I have seen with feelings of deep regret and indignation the continuance of attempts to excite the people of Ireland to demand a repeal of the legislative union. This bond of the national strength and safety I have declared my fixed and unalterable resolution, under the blessing of divine provi dence, to maintain inviolate by all the means in my power. To the practices which have been used to produce disaffection in the state, and mutual distrust and animosity between the people of the two countries, is chiefly to be attributed the spirit of insubordination which, though for the present in a great degree controlled by the power of the law, has been but too perceptible in many instances. The united and vigorous exertions of the loyal'ancl well-affected in aid of the government are imperiously required to put an end to a sys tem of excitement and violence which is destructive of the peace of society, and, if successful, must inevitably prove fatal to the power and safety of the united kingdom." If you recollect these words, which were used by the sove reign, at the advice of Lord Melbourne, and concurred in by Loro Palmerston and Lord John Russell, you will not fail also to recollect that, in 1831, .a compact was formed with those who were the chief advocates of repeal (hear), and that a resolution was come to implying that no settle ment of the Irish church question should be adopted which did not embody an appropriation of part of the revenues of the church to the promotion of secular purposes. The con stituencies of the country have recollected this compact. They also recollected the case of Jamaica, where the govern ment brought in a bill to abolish the constitution of that important colony. They recollected that they were thwarted in that attempt by the opponents of that government—they recollected that the ministers stated that the authority of the government would be injured if that opposition should prevail. It did prevail, and the government retired under the vote, and with the admission that they did not possess the confidence of the House of Commons. The people have seen them, for two years, retain office without power, and after a series of concessions alike injurious to the characters of public men and to the interests of the country • and it has been a review of , these acts, coupled with the declaration of the government themselves as to their loss of the confi dence of parliament, and the evils that must arise in the ad ministration of public affairs from that want—it has been, I repeat, a review of this conduct on the part of her Majesty's government which has induced the constituencies of this country to vindicate the constitutional principle, and by their united voice to affirm the resolution to which the House of Commons so recently came. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) Gentlemen, this vindication of constitutional principle is due to the constituency of this empire. They deserved the credit, for they gained the victory by their un paralleled exertions. It has not been gained by the manoeu vres of the leaders of party—it has not been gained by factious combinations with men of opposite opinions. The govern ment has made an appeal to the country with the most fa vourable circumstances under which an appeal could be made ; the country has responded to it, and declared, notwithstand ing the introduction of plausible and popular measures, that the government does not possess its confidence. (Cheers.) It is impossible to estimate too highly the exertions which have been made throughout the country. They have been made by unobtrusive individuals, even unknown to public rumour, who have sought no advantage for themselves, but who have been prompted by public principle to the sacrifice of ease and of everything most calculated to make life happy. I will venture to say, that there are thousands and tens of thousands of instances in which single individuals have made more exertions during the late election than candidates used to make before—and, gentlemen, it is perfectly notorious to every person who has been conversant with the elections of this country ; and to them, gentlemen, and to the constitu encies at large, these public acknowledgments are due. All that I hope is, that they will not repose upon their victory, and that it will only animate them to continued and increased exertions. (Hear.) I hope that no disaffection will be felt that two candidates have not been returned in those places where one only has been returned. I hope no temporary dissatisfaction of that kind arising from the best and most generous feelings—from the conviction that if the effort had been made it would have been successful, and that the effort ought to have been made—l trust that no feeling of dissatis faction, however natural and just, will induce those who feel it to feel it permanently, and to withdraw from public exer tions. I said before, gentlemen, and I believed it has been proved to be true, that the battle of the constitution must be fought in the registration court'. And lam sure the victory which has been achieved must be secured in the registra tion courts also. I do hope the conservative party in this country will continue to secure for themselves, by all fair and all legitimate means, and by no other whatever, the possession of that power and influence in the state which their immense wealth, their intelligence, their respecta bility, and their character fully entitle them to exercise. I hope they will carefully consider every franchise to which the law entitles them, and secure for themselves the exercise of it, whether in municipal elections, in county elections, or borough elections. Their good will and their confidence can be the only safe foundation for political power, and if they wish to retain the influence they now possess, it must be by an exertion of the same zeal and industry and perseve rance which have placed them in their present position. These are the means by which they can enable those in whom they repose their confidence to maintain on their ancient foundations the institutions of the country in church and state. (Cheers.) And let them bear in mind that the more secure the foundations are made, the more confidence there may be in their stability, and the more easy will it be, with out exciting alarm or apprehension. to apply those reno vations and those repairs which the lapse of time or altered circumstances may have rendered desirable in our ancient institutions. Gentlemen, this being merely a convivial meeting, I fear I have trespassed longer than I ought to have done upon your attention. (No, no.) But, gentle men, I will sit down as I began, by expressi ng m y gratification that I am again placed in the situation of your representative. I also thank you for those demon strations of attachment and esteem with which, on this and on foriher occasions, I have been received within these walls. I stand to you in a closer and more intimate relation that that merely of your representative in parliament. lam bound to you by many other ties than that of a representa tive. I look around this assembly; and I see the faces which have been familiar to me from my earliest youth. I see es teemed and cherished friends, I bear in mind that I am con nected with you by all the ties of neighbourhood, of social intercourse, of community of interest, and of long friend ship ; and I assure you that whatever be my political desti nation, I shall ever regard with the utmost pride and satis faction the attachment and esteem of those whom I see around me, and whom I have a right to consider as my warmest and most attached friends. And, gentlemen, it is whilst such feelings are predominant that I will ask you to join with me in the cordial expression of a sentiment by which I am animated, and which will ever make me desirous for the prosperity of the town and neighbourhood of Tam worth." The right honourable baronet concluded his speech amidst the loudest demonstrations of applause, and the toast was drunk with equal enthusiasm. DORCHESTER ELECTION-DINNER OF SIR JAMES GRAHAM. (Abridged from the Dorset Count!, Chronicle.) On Thursday, July 22, the Right Hon. Sir James R. G. Graham, Bart., M.P., gave the customary dinner to the electors of Dorchester, in celebration of his election. On the health of Sir James Graham being drunk, The Right Hon. Baronet rose amidst enthusiastic cheer ing, and expressed his grateful sense of the honour just paid him, and of the compliment conferred on him, having done him the honour to select him as one of their members in parliament. When he last addressed them the question was which of the two great parties in the state would preponder ate in the struggle that was then at its height. He con fessed that he regarded that struggle with some anxiety, be cause he felt an apprehension that a state of affairs might arise which would fill all with serious alarm. He feared that it was possible that a broad line of demarcation might be drawn between the landed interest of the country on the one hand, and the . commercial and manufacturing interest on the other—a state of things than winch he could not contem plate any greater misfortune and more serious national evil. (Hear, hear.) But the good sense of the people of England had predominated over every such apprehension— (cheers) — and if he had thought, as he had thought, that the question would be answered by placing the great interests involved in comparative security, that anticipation had not been disap pointed. (Cheers.) So far from the agricultural interest on the one hand, and the manufacturing and commercial in terest on the other, being ranged in hostile array against each other, a glance at some facts connected with the late elections, would show the contrary to be thecase. (Cheers.) The struggle had commenced in the centre of the great com mercial interest—in the city of London itself. A nobleman high in her Majesty's councils, the ministerial leader of the House of Commons, had there thrown himself into the breach, and had there begun the struggle. And what was the result? Why, that two conservative candidates were returned above him on the poll ; and it was by mere acci dent, by mere mismanagement, that a third conservative was not returned. (Hear.) The right hon. bart. then referred to many other parts oT the country, particularly to Liverpool, as shewing the same feeling. In this cursory review he thought that there was enough to satisfy those whom he addressed that all pretence of a difference between the ma nufacturing and commercial and the agricultural interests was removed, and he was happy to believe that the agricul tural interest of the country was now placed on a solid basis (great cheers) ; and that the next parliament would show a considerable majority of members pledged to those opinions on which he had been chosen by the electors of Dorchester. They might rely on it that the interests of the great body of the people were the interests to which he was attached. O n no other ground than this, although immediately connected with the landed interest, had he been disposed to uphold the native agriculture of the country, but it was because he was convinced that the best safeguard of nations was to be found in that independence which arose from those nations, in the average course of years, being enabled to supply their in habitants with their daily bread. It was because he be believed that in a series of years such independence was in dispensable, that he had been a friend to the protection of native agriculture. He had, perhaps, dwelt too long on this subject (" No, no ; go on ") ; but if he were allowed by their indulgence, he would allude to a topic which had been handled with vast skill by an eminent and dignified di. vine, and he knew not that he could offer a better illustra tion of the subject than had been given in an analogy brought by that writer, and brought, too, from that sacred fountain which contained lessons of pure knowledge. They would remember that the most ancient commercial city was the city of Tyre, described in holy writ as sitting like a queen upon the waters, as " the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth," who was the mistress of the world, enriched by the ships of Ophir, and dealing in the dyed garments of Bozrah ; yet a little but striking incident is related with respect to this city. She was in the neighbourhood of a poor and appa rently powerless kingdom, that of Judea. A. quarrel arose between them, and the inhabitants of Tyre were obliged to send an ambassador and sue for peace at the hands of the King of Judea, and the reason assigned is that " their country was nourished by the king's country." (Hear, hear.) They did not grow their own corn. (Hear, hear.) Now, he believed this to lkritten for our learning and instruction. It went to the essence of the whole case. They might depend on it that the root of national independence was, after all, successful national agriculture. (Hear.) He was proud of British ships; he was proud of British com merce; he was proud of British manufactures ; he was proud of British colonies ; but, after all, the source of our national prosperity and of our future national independence was home-grown corn—native British home. grown wheat. (Hear.) He would conclude by proposing a toast which it gave him the greatest possible pleasure to introduCe—the " Health of the members of the county of Dorset." (Im mense cheering. ULTRA. PROTESTANTISM v HIGH CIIURCHISM (From Fraser's Magazine for August.) One little incident in the recent election struck us very forcibly. We had regretted to see that in the town of Leeds, while the two radicals, Aldam and Hume, adhered closely to each other, one polling 2012, and the other 2034, there was a great disparity between the two conservatives. Mr. Beckett polled 2675, but Lord Jocelyn only 1927. A para graph, however, from Leeds, which appeared in the Morning Post a day or two after, explained the whole matter. It was as follows : The triumph at Leeds is satisfactory on another account. Pour years ago two radicals were returned for the borough of Leeds, and just at that time those sound church prixciples were beginning to be preached there, of which Leeds is now the stronghold. * * * We now see the result. The de termined and consistent conduct of the churchmen of Leeds has secured a conservative member for that borough,—a thing which, four years ago, was impossible. And why was Lord .1 ocelyn defeated? It was only because he was sup posed to be brought forward to conciliate the Methodists, since his family is distinguished for its ultra-protestantism. * * The triumph of toryism and churchism is thus complete by the return of Mr. Beckett alone." Now this precious farrago teaches us two things. First, that a " high churchman" of the new Oxford school would rather unite with a dissenter, nay, with an infidel, than with what he calls an " ultra-protestant." Lord Roden is a firm and consistent churchman. Ay ; but he is an " ultra- Protestant," attends Exeter Hall meetings, and shews that he really hates Popery. Therefore these disciples of Dr. Hook deliberately and avowedly prefer Joseph Flume and his brother candidate, Aldam. The triumph of " Toryism and churchism," they tell us, "is complete." How? by the return of their two candidates ? No, but "by the return of Mr. Beckett alone." Their triumph is complete by ex. eluding Lord Jocelyn, whom they plainly tell us they could have returned,—more complete than it would have been had both Conservatives been elected ! We here see what " High churchism " is ; and what sort of a parliament we should have had, if there had been a Dr. Hook in every borough in the kingdom. The second thing, however, that we are desired to notice is the wounderful good that " sound church principles " have wrought in Leeds. There is now " a conservative member for the borough ; a thing which, four years ago, was impossible." We know full well that Dr. Hook kept a number of claques about him, but we did not know that any of them were so ignorant or so impudent as this. Was it impossible then, until Dr. Hook came to Leeds, to return a conservative for that borough ? Does the writer of this wise paragraph not know that from 1835 to 1837 Sir John Beckett was member for Leeds, having been elected by a majority of 276; while, in 1811, Mr. Beckett was only returned by a majority of 41! This impudent assumption forces us to look into the facts of the case. There is no reason, then, whatever, to con clude, from this election, that the cause of the church, or of conservatism, has gained anything at Leeds by 1)r. Hook and his " church principles." But since the bravado is put forth, and since " ultra-protestantism " is especially al luded to as a crime of Lord Jocelyn, let us compare, for a few moments, the case of Leeds with that of another great town in the north, namely, Liverpool. No one at Leeds, save this paragraphist in the Morning Post, seems to have alluded to Dr. Hook or the clergy as having had any particular influence in producing the half triumph there achieved. But at Liverpool, Lord Sandon himself, the candidate who was returned at the head of the poll, with a majority over a cabinet minister of 1548 votes, — Lord Sandon, himself in returning thanks to the electors, thus frankly attributed his great success, not to electioneer ing efforts of the clergy, but to their past labours in a right instruction of the people. He said,— " You have now been reaping the harvest of that good seed which has been sown among you for years past. It is not in vain that the ministers of the gospel have been labour ing among you. It is not in vain that they have teaching you that the good protestant and the good churchman ought to be at the same time the good politician ; and that if he wishes to have the institutions of his country preserved, he must support the men who are attached, morally and religi ously, to the church themselves." Nor was this merely a private opinion of Lord Sandon's. The vast audience of thousands cried out, " The clergy have done it all ! " and when the name of " Hugh M`Neile" hap pened to drop from the lips of one of the speakers, the shouts lasted for several minutes. Yet no one said, no one hinted, no one of theadversaries challenged it upon Mr. M'- Neile or the other clergy, that they had acted the part of electioneering canvassers. It was their constant, moral, re ligious, and sound protestant teaching, that " had done it all ! " Let us, then, thus taunted, just compare these two towns. Leeds has it's Dr. Hook, and, it is boasted, is " the strong hold of church principles ; " alias, Oxfordism. Liverpool has its Hugh M`Neile, and is a stronghold of what Dr. Hook calls " ultra-protestantism." Let us then see what may have been the course of these two towns during the last seven years. We will give the respective polls for 1835,1837, and 1811, side by side : LIVERPOOL, or " Ultra Protestantism - 1835.

Walrnsley (L)., Palmerston (L) 5979 Beckett (C) 5792 Aldan] (L).. 4647 Hume (L).. 4431 Jocelyn (C) Thus, in LIVERPOOL, in 1835, one Conservative was elected, the second defeated by 206. In 1837, two Con servatives were elected, the second by 441. In 1841, two Conservatives were elected, the second by 1115. In LEEDS in 1835, one Conservative was elected, his ma jority over the second Radical being 276. In 1837 two Ra dicals were elected, the second beating the Conservative by 109. In 1841, one Conservative was again elected, be...ting the second Radical candidate by 43 ! In Liverpool our majority has risen to 1500. In Leeds it has fallen from 276 to 43. So much as to the point—whether " Church Principles" of the new Oxford school, or the " Ultra-Protestantism " of the school of our great Re formers, is most likely to advance the cause of Conservatism. HARVEST PROSPECTS The present crtical period of the crops and the unsettled state of the weather for some time past have naturally caused considerable anxiety in reference to the prospect of the har vest ; but we are enabled to state, from extensive inquiry, that in this part of the country the grain crops have as yet received no injury, and that the rains which succeeded the dry weather of June, alternating with sunshine, have had a very favourable effect in filling the ears. The spring -sown wheat is everywhere thick on the ground, the occasional fail ures having been in the fall sown, and the season has been comparatively free from blight. The crops are now ripening for the sickle, and, should the weather prove favourable for ingathering, there is every prospect of more than an average crop. The harvest has already commenced in this neigh bourhood. Some fine samples of new barley were offered in our market on Saturday last, by Mr. Henning, of Frome, Wakefield ; and the same gentleman has now 20 acres of oats fit to be carried.—Dorset Chronicle. The weather has undergone a most favourable change, the bleak and stormy showers of the previous 10 or 12 days hav ing been succeeded since yesterday by a mild and genial at mosphere. Thereis no doubt that the corn crops have suf fered more or less, particularly in the low grounds ; but we gather that, should the present warmth continue, the harvest will be somewhat of an average crop. Flay is reported as having been totally destroyed in many of the districts; the potatoes are good, and the vegetable world is in prime heart and abundance.—Cork Southern Reporter. The dry weather of the early part of the last and end of the preceding week was threatened on Tuesday morning by that all but certain precursor of rain—the rapid shifting of the wind from one point of the compass to another. Heavy rains did accordingly fall in the afternoon and evening, suf ficient to put a stop to all field labour, with the exception of a few patient weeders of potatoes and singlers of turnips. On Wednesday thunder storms fell at intervals, which must have been both frequent and heavy higher up the country, if we may judge from the dark and muddy waters which the Nith rolled down on the day following. Since then the wea ther has been dry and wonderfully warm, seeing that the wind has blown all the time pretty readily from the east or some points nearer the north. This favourable tide has been made the most of, and in all dry and kindly fields a fair average crop of rye-grass hay has now been secured ; in some instances, however, not without considerable damage, from the long-continued rains of the earlier part of the month. Turnips and potatoes are now coming beautifully away, many of the fields of the latter plant presenting an unbroken mass of green, telling the plough pretty plainly, " thou shalt not come again amongst us."—Dumfries Courier. On Tuesday the cutting of some very fine, strong, and full-eared wheat commenced in the West of England, on the coast of the British Channel, near Clevedon, which is about 12 miles beyond Bristol. It is true the fiels are favourably situated, on high and dry grounds, surrounded with thick lofty hedges, and clear from the force of any other winds than westerly ; but there is all round that country a vast deal of corn, chiefly wheat, that will soon be ready for the reaper ; so that, however it may suit the interests of " Mark lane" to raise an alarm, if the weather only holds up tolerably well, there may yet be a well got-in harvest. In the West of England, especially in the district above alluded to, there has been by no means such successive and heavy rains as characterised the experience of places between Somersetshire and London, and beyond the metropolis—only slight showers. If the weather only prove favourable now, there must be a very abundant harvest. The wheat generally is most pro mising, strong in the straw, ears full, large, and firm, and in many places it is rapidly ripening. Oats and barley also losk uncommonly well. As to beans, judging from their universal appearance in Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Somerset shire, Wiltshire, &c., there were never better fields of them —clean, fresh, strong, and high, beyond what are usually seen, In truth, fine weather now only is wanted to bless England with as abundant a harvest as man could wish. In this city, during the present week, the 41b. loaf has been raised from 7d. to 7id, and some' are asking Bd. ; but under what pretence it i s difficult to divine, except that cer tain wealthy dabblers in the corn trade may be anxious still further to enrich themselves by an inundation of bonded wheat, when that of home growth shall have reached a cer tain price, commanding but a nominal point of duty on the foreign article. The farmer, therefore, who now keeps his grain out of the market may assist in raising prices, but without any good effect to himself, and with positive injury to his own countrymen. We aver that high prices cannot be permanent, judging from the present state of the wheat crop, which, in the neighbourhood of this city, and most other places from which we have received authenticated reports, is exceedingly sound and healthy ; the plant is also free from blight, and the ear is full and plump. We only awaiting the genial effects of a few days of hot weather, and the har vest will commence with vigour. A Hereford correspond ent, under date July 26, says—" The present sunshine will have a most beneficial effect upon the grain crops, which, it would be wrong to deny, have sustained some injury from the long-continued rains. The wheat crop, in particular, does not present that light, rich, and golden appearance which it is desirable it should do at the present period. and on light lands it is very thin ; there is no reason, however, to despair of an average crop. With respect to the hops, the yards never wore a more favourable appearance. The plant is topping the polls m os t b eau tif u lly, and will soon be fu lly in burr ; it looks mast luxuriant. The badly also looks well, and peas and bea n s will be abundant. he price of flour has considerably advanced.—Worcester Paper.

TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3, 1841 One of our much esteemed representatives, Lord Sandon, observed at the first anniversary dinner of the Liverpool Shipmasters' Association, that " he had seen bodies of men associated together for all useful purposes, but perhaps there was none which promised more extensive usefulness, although yet in its infancy, than the association which he saw before him." His lordship then assigned his reasons for this opinion, and they were such as could not fail to make a deep im pression on all who had the opportunity of hearing or reading his forcible and eloquent enumeration. The association is not one of mere conviviality; it is an association for self-improvement—an association whose first tendency is to elevate the tone and character of, a profession which all admit to be a most important one, but which, from the various interests with which it is connected, must tend in no remote degree to pro duce consequences of the highest value in a social and' national point of view. The situation of master of a ship," says M'Cullock, " is so very important, that in sotne countries no one can be appointed to it who has not submitted to an examination by competent persons to ascertain his fitness for properly discharging its duties; but in this country the owners are left to their own discretion as to the skill and honesty of the master." Whether this be a defect or otherwise in our laws, we do not stop to inquire ; but it follows ob viously, as a consequence from our open system, that every voluntary means of improving the profession, and of establishing a high standard of excellence among its members, ought to be promoted and encou raged. The Shimasters' Association is a means to this end ; it is an addition to a man's responsibities ; it aims at diffusing information among its members, and seeks to convey to their minds a just impression of those consequences which must result both to them selves and others from men acting in their capacity ful filling their engagements in a spirit of enlightened phi lanthropy. The society, at the expiration of its first year, had enrolled the large number of nine hundred and forty members on its books—a fact which shows how greatly the want of such an institution must have been fr.lt, and speaks most creditably for the mind and disposition of the shipmasters towards its objects. The subject has, we fear, been a neglected one, al though there is every conceivable reason why it should have been otherwise. It is one in which all shipowners are primarily interested ; it is their interest to have as large and as well-instructed, as experienced and as moral a body of men from whom to select persons to command their vessels as possible. They should not rest satisfied with being able to procure men who could merely navigate their ships from one port to another— men of little education, and of no information or knowledge beyond what they have acquired by per sonal experience. This indeed, would make commerce a grovelling, selfish pursuit, which cared for nothing but sordid gain, wholly irrespective of the means by which it was attained ; and it would moreover in this respect be shortsighted; for how often does it happen that far greater responsibilities than the mere trans sport of a ship and her cargo, however valuable, de volve upon the master ? There is no more absolute monarch in the world than the captain of a ship at sea. The law recognises and confirms his authority, and it is the common covenant in the articles of every seaman, that " each and every lawful command which the said master shall think necessary to issue for the effectual government of the said vessel, suppressing vice and immorality of all kinds, be strictly complied with, under the penalty of the person disobeying for feiting his whole hire, together with everything belong ing to him on board the vessel." How much then of the happiness of others becomes immediately depend ent upon him? No enlightened, no commonly humane, man could be indifferent on this subject. " Commerce," says an American writer, " is a noble calling. It mediates between distant nations, and makes men's wants, not, as formerly, stimulants to war, but bonds of peace. The universal activity of the age is due in no sma ll degree to commerce, which spreads the thoughts, in ventions, and writings of great men over the carat, and gathers scientific and literary men everywhere into an intellectual republic. So it carries abroad the Mis sionary, the Bible, the Cross, and is giving universa lity to true religion. Let our merchants carry on their calling with these generous views. Let them not pur sue it for themselves alone. Let them rejoice to spread improvements far and wide, and to unite men in more friendly ties. Let their. voyages be missions of huma nity, useful arts, science, and religion. It is a painful thought that comme rce, ins tead of enlightening and purifying less privileged communities, has too often made the name of Christian hateful to them—has car ' ried to the savage, not our useful arts and mild faith, but weapons of war and the intoxicating draught." ' This is all very true ; but unless merchants, however philanthropic or enlightened, or however disposed to make co:nmerce subservient to noble ends, can procure men like themselves to take charge of their vessels, all their good intentions or good wishes will be of no avail. Hence the importance of the association under consideration, and indeed of every other means which could be made available to give to the masters of ves sels that deep sense of their great responsibilities which would stimulate them in the discharge of their arduous duties, and at the same time, by giving them a consciousness of the large space they occupy in the publicmind, encourage them to its performance. But if the shipowner is interested in this subject, much more is the seaman. It is sometimes the mill 2075 2042 2034 1927
