GENTLEMEN, .TN obedience to your summo n s I stood forth in.the hour of need, to contest your cause, the cause . of every true-born Briton, of our King, our 'Country; and.eur*Religion. We have'fought the good fight with v al o i n ' ; an d though " the battle is not. always -to. the strong,"- and we have been Over 'powered, yet have we not been subdued ; the spirit remains, not only unconquered, but triumphant. Look at the state of the Poll:—In one short week we accom plished our object, we have roused the right spirit, demon strated the just principles, and developed the true character of British freedom. We have gloriously rallied round the stand ard_ of our faith, to defend the institutions of our country in church and state, from reckless innovation and impious rapine. We have been tauntingly told by our adversaries, that our course was vekitious, and would not le • ( tamed beyond a .day. Again, I s 5.3 i; and proudly say, " .ok at the stat e of the Poll!" Is•that a _proof - of .a ye ti• s. contest, of an un just And powerless cause? I repet_it,_ yit proudly arid fear lessly; that had not our opponents c. esced, our cause would have been as triumphant in the resu t, as it has been trium phant in the spirit.,—a spirit that will blaze forth a beacon of light when our country shall again demand our services—we shall then present an array of moral influence, that will con vince the enemies of our country, thatthey - may overpower for a time, but can never subdue the justice 'anti the iriii,htiousness of our cause. I thank you from my heart for the exertions you have made; I was a feeble instrument in your hands, but 1 have been nobly supported. By unduo influence, by coalition, by previous pro mises, and by the .very limited time we possessed for a canvas, we have alone been, for the present, defeated. To the exertions of every individual who has so generously assisted,• and so laboriously devoted his time and talents to our cause, my most grateful thanks are thus tendered;—may . they reap the due reward of their exertions in the contest, by seeing our once united and happy country, restored to a more sound and healthy state, by an union of all her moral influence, in stemming{ the march of " undue innovation " that would strike at the foundation of all our venerable and justly] venerated institutions. With a grateful and lasting sense of your personal kiudness' towards me upon this, and upon all occasions. I have the honour to be, • • Gentlemen, Your most faithful and obedient servant, ' HOMAS D.

It seems hardy, for it has withstood the winter of In verness - s hi re i n t h e open border, 'and ' has lately flowered near Birmingham. But what we deem most important is, that the trade in flax with the New 'Zealanders , : has greatly increased of late years. According to the statistical - returns of New South Wales for 'lB'2B, Only 50 tons, valued at £2600, were exported from Sydney to Britain during that year; while, during 1830, (according to returns taken from the Cus tomhouse books,) the quantities stated as the imports of it into Sydney for the English market, were 841 tons; and, -in 1831, -• no fewer titan 1062 tons. Its present price in London may be stated - at from £l5 to £25 per ton, its quality and price varying. The flax is prepared by the natives, and in strength of illixe, and also in whiteness, far exceeds' any ana l o g ou s material; so that for cordage and canvas it' is invaluahla, ' Mr, BushVy, civil engineer at Sydney, and a most Competent judge, l:econ- ' mends this trade to the-fostering care of Government, as being - calculated to open a considerable demand for British manufac- tures, and to yield in r e t urn an ar ti c l e o f raw produee,. not , only valuable to England as a nianufaeturing country, but in-, dispensable to her greatness as a maritime power; and '(he': . , adds, in a spirit with which reany . of, our readerS-wid svnipa- , thize) apart from all motives of interest, it is deserving. cif . : attention, from the opportunities it affirm's, of civilising,. and converting to Christianity one o f th e mos t inteiestidg sees of people which 'B r iti s h en t erpr i se -h a i, yet discovered iii any quarter of the globe."—Scatmen. . .. MOMIPICATION.—This is the name given by the inventors, : Messrs. Capron and Boniface Abbot, of Paris, to the proceSs which they. have 'dis covere d of preserving bodies, after the Manner of the Egyptia n mummies. At a recent meeting-of' the French Academy, they exhibited a human body thus pre- served, which it was impossible to detect from the real Egyp- tian mummy. The deCeased, clothed in a rote de chambre,- which left visible only the extremities of the body - , appeared 'to weigh •no more than thirty or forty pounds.. 'lie violet- cOloured skin, the -leaden hue, and the fleshless bones, pre- . sented an object not very flattering to poor Humanity. THE SMALL, FARMEUS IN IRELAND. —If there be a class of $ men deserving public sympathy, it is that of the small fariners . Of Ireland. Their circumstances are fraught with all that is ' calculated to depre ss an d ru i n the m; rents f ar a bo ve their abi lity, lity t increasing poverty, - and bad markets. The land, ivilich : during the, last war, might-have enabled the renter to pay three pounds per acre, and yet still maintain himself with tolerable. :- comfort, could not now pay more than 'one pound, or at the most, one pound ten ; and yet, such is the infattiation of •taaid- • ' lords, that, in most instances, the terms of leases taken •out then are rigorously exacted. Neither can' the' remission - of • yearly arrears be said to strike at the root of the evils ,Under which they suffer. The fact of the disproportionate rent hang- ingover them, is a disheartening circumstance,that paralyzes their exertion, and si n k s th e i r spirits: If a landlord remit -the rent for one term, he deals more harshly with the tenant at the next: • whatever surplus, if any, his former indulgence leaves in the tenant's hands, instead of being expended van his property as capital, and being permitted to lay the iounuation of hope and prosperity, is drawn from him, at next 'term, and the "poor struggling tenant is thrown back into as 'Much' distress,'embaf rassmeut . and . despondeney as ever. There are, I believe; "feW tenants in Ireland of the class I allude to, - who are : - not frinii .: one gale to three in arrear. Now, how can it he expected, _dust . . • such men will labour with spirit and earnestness to raise .crons • , which they may never reap ? crops which thei landlord May seize upon to secure as much of his rent as he can.--L'Even if -' this be insufficient, worse remains behind. The facts of the case'are these :—ln Ireland the whole support of - the- incon ceivable multitude of paupers, who swarm Ike locusts over the surface of the country, rests upon the middle and lower classes, , or rather upon the latter, for thefe is scarcely such a thing in this unhappy country, as a middle class.

In the first place, a vast - proportion of. our landlords are absentees, who squander upon their s own-pleasures or v i ces , 'in the theatres, saloons, or gaming-houses of France, or'in - the softer profligacieS - of Italy, that which ought to return - in some shape to stand in the place of duties . so shamefully neglected. ' Thesepersons contribute .nothing•to the poor j except the va rious evils which >their absence entails upon- them. - - On the other. hand, the resicknt gentry never, in, any case, assist a beg gar, even in the remote parts of the country, where there are no rneridicity institutions. Nor .do the beggars ever think of - applying to them. - They know that his honour's dogs would be slipped at thorn ; .or that the whip might be•laid, perhaps, W the - shoulders of, a broken-hearted father, with his brood of helpless Children wanting food; . perhaps, upon the emaciated person of a miserable widow, who begs for her orphans, only because the handS that supported, and wou ld h a V e defended, both her 'and ' there, are mouldered into dust.—Traiti and St ' Iri s h - Peasantry. -.- • ... • .
