" TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTIILANCASHIRE. GENTLEMEN, SINCE the puplication of my former Address, the new Ad ministration has been appointed, and Parliament is dis solved. _ Tne men who in 1830 were compelled to r ign Office in consequence of their rooted opposition to K min, are again in power, reinforced by a few fresh name alike memorably known for their active hostility to the sam cause. Thus we have seen a Ministry whit was the object of the King's unconstrained choice in July denly dismissed in No vember, and the House of Common which was freely chosen ley the voice of a united people onl two years ago, is abruptly dissolved because the Advisers of the Crown dare not meet it. They expose the country to the angry animosities of a general Election, rashly hoping to find in a new Parliament that sup port which they have despaired of in the old. To improve the chances of success, they assume the garb and speak the language of Reform ; and specious statements regarding future measures are industriously put forth, in the hope that in the ex citement of the present moment the transactions of the past may be forgotten. But the hope will prove delusive. The battle for Reform was Coo violent, its concurrence is too recent, and its impressions too vivid to allow of mistake. The conduct of the friends and Of the enemies of Reform still stands in broad contrast before the country. Adopting the advice of Sir Robert Peel, given at the late Mansion-house dinner, you will judge regarding all incipient measures by the characters of the men from whom they emanate, and you will not expect to gather " grapes from thorns or figs from thistles." Electors of South Lancashire!--Yon early saw and correctly appreciated the value of the Reform Bill to the ever-growing energies of your country, and von nobly stood forward in aid of its success. You sent your Representatives to Parliament in the memorable election of 1831; amidst triumphs more splendid than were ever before witnessed; and when, in the following year, the opponents of Reform marched into the field, it was only to -receive a prompt and striking defeat. The eyes of the country are again upon you iu the confident belief that your conduct in 1E33 will maintain the character you then so honourably won. I have addressed you mainly on political subjects because the present is an important '.political crisis, and. the impending atruggle will be.;,decided on political .grounds. But party poli tics are evanescent; and You have an interest bii - fond the tri umph of a party in the commercial prosperity of your country and the employment of its numerous and iudustrious inhabi tents. You called me from private life .to watch over these interests, and, in the belief that you still consider it important that you shonldhave one Representative who has keen trained to commercial pursuits, I am again a candidate for your suffrages. I am, Gentlemen, Your faithful and devoted Servant, GEORGE WM. WOOD. Manchester, January 1, 1834. TO THE ELECTORS OF TIIE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUN rY OF LANCASTER. GENTLEMEN, TN compliance with the urgent solicitation of a numerous and J. influential body of the Electors of the Southern Division of Lancashire, I am induced to offer myself to you as a CAN DIDATE for the Representation of this Divi • n, in the event of an approaching Election.

I profess myself a Conservative, and with those sentiments ant determined to uphold all our valuable Institutions, not blinding myself to any defects or abuses which may have crept into them, but willing and'anxious to improve them by judicious correc tion, at the same time carefully - distinguishing between what is sanctioned by manifest decay . or existing injury, and what is demanded by clamour and party virulence, at once involving indefinite change and certain destruction. I have only to add, that. should I have the honour - to become one of your Representatives,it will be my earnest endeavour to fulfil, to the utmost of my abilities, the duties of that distinguished office; and the consideration that I am employed in the service of my native Cotinty, to which I am warmly attached, will be an additional motive for my zealous efforts to ptom'ote its prosperity.

RICHARD DAWSON, Secretary. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF LANCASTER. GENTLEMEN, gN deference to a requisition which embodies the wishes of a large and most respectable portion of the c• istituency of South Lancashire, I present myself to your .. ice as a Candi date for the honour of being chosen to r: ,resent you in the House of Commons, in the event o • early dissolution of Parliament. Circumstances, which have connefr ed me with the trade s the manufactures, and the agriculture of this part of the kingdom, enable me to solicit your suffrages on the score of a community of interest which makes your prosperity, or its reverse, in an unusual degree, sensibly and immediately my own. That our common prosperity may best be maintained and advanced un der those institutions of church and state,. beneath the influence of which it has sprung and flourished, I firmly believe. If I become your representative, I shall therefore oppose, to the ut most of my ability, any measures of change which may appear to me to involve the subversion of those institutions, or such inroad upon them as may appear designed or calculated to pre pare the way for that subversion. Anxious, however, as I am to uphold all that is valuable in our establishments, and considering, under the circumstances of the time, the task of their conservation the prominent and most arduous duty of your representative, I am not the less de sirous to aid the judicious and well-considered correction of de fect or abuse; and I am careful to distinguish between thh clamour for indefinite change, or for revolution clearly defined, and the general desire of the people, or the just petition of any portion of the people, for such alterations as may be justified by demonstration or existing injury, or reasonable calculation of contingent good.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your faithful and obedient servant, Wortley, Dec. 3d, 1834. FRANCIS EGERTON. TO THE ELECTORS OF LIVERPOOL. GENTLEMEN, NO doubt can any longer be entertained that a Dissolution of Parliament is at hand; the time therefore is now come for making a public statement of the gro son which I shall solicit the high honour of being chose a third time your Representative. In the first place I feel an honest co ciousness, a conspiring nesb in which I ern supported, as well by the cordial reception which I have suet with from all classes, whenever I have come among you, as by the express testimonials of many Public Bodies, that vour local interests, as well general as individual, have nut suffered from any want of zeal and earnestness, how ever much they may t,avc suffered frUm want of ability, on my part. Indeed in your service, laborious as it is, there is always this encouraging and elevating consideration, that from the high station which your great community holds among the Cities of the Empire, from, its intimate connexion with every branch of Domestic and Colonial Industry, your Local Interests arc, for the most part, the interests of the Empire at large ; and that thus, whoever has served you with any degree of efficiency may esteem himself to have rendered some service to his country. Thus, whether engaged in securing to your Town the benefit of an improved Local Court, or in resisting the attempt to ex tend the privilege of Warehousing to Inland. Towns, a privilege which, by the consent of the best authorities, can only, with security to the Revenue and the Merchant, be conceded to the Ports - whether in endeavouring to convince the Government and the house of Commons of the error into which they had fallen in attempting to levy a discriminating Duty on Tea, there by giving a premium on the introduction of the inferior qualities, and introducing confusion and uncertainty into the trade; or in persuading them to reduce the Duties on Articles of Foreign Commerce • whether engaged in adjusting the terms on which the vast mill incalculable resources of the Trade with China should be thrown open ,to the enterprise of the British Mer chant; or, above all, in negociating that arrangement, combin ing justice with humanity, by which the great and generous, though unexampled and perilous experiment of emancipating, at once, eight hundred thousand slaves has been stripped of much of its peril, and enjoys the best chances of success of which it is in its nature capable; in short, in whatever instances I have been called upon to maintain or promote your Local Interests, I have felt myself engaged more or less directly in promoting the general good. FREEMEN,—In upholding, as by every tie of gratitude and justice I was bound to do, your rights and privileges against those who have never ceased to revile and persecute you since you have refused to become the tools of their ambition, I felt that I was fighting the battle of the poorer classes of Electors throughout the country, whose rights are an object of peculiar hostility to those who claim to themselves exchssively the title of the "PEOPLE'S FRIENDS." But, GENTLEMEN, I feel that higher interests now occupy the minds of men. The great, the main principles of our Con stitution are assailed. The free exercise of the undoubted pre rogative of our King is questioned—if not in words, certainly in deeds; the independence, nay the very existence of the hereditary branch of our Legislature is attacked and derided; every check and balance is to be swept away for the purpose of substituting in the place of our free mixed monarchy the unmiti gated tyranny of one elective body. The Reform Act itself, no longer held up to our veneration, as it was during the discussion of the measure by its proposers and supporters, as a second Charter of our Rights, as a final and satisfactory adjustment of the Constitution of Parliament, is now treated as a mere step ping-stone to farther change ; as, indeed, of no other value than as containing within itself the seeds of future and constant change. It was not for such results that, in all its main provi sions, I supported the Reform Bill.. I supported it as a measure of peace, as a measure calculated, by removing not unreason able objections to the Constitution of the House of Commons, to unite and knit together the hearts of all good men'in defence of our Institutions, not to encourage or enable bad men to de stroy them: In this hope I supported it, in this hope I will maintain it; nor will I lend a hand to Radical Reformers to un settle its provisions, or pervert it from its original purpoie.' Not only is our Civil Constitution attacked, but our Na tional Church is assailed with, &Possible, still greater bitter ness and animosity. Her opponents have spoken out at last; they no longer disguise that their ultimate end Is her destruc tion as an establishment, and that their efforts for what they now cail Religious Liberty will never cease till that object is attained. Of Religions Liberty I used to think I knew some thing, having uniformly supported the removal of every civil disability on account of difference in religious creed, and having done so against my own interest, and in spite of party connexion, and when it was less thau - now the fashion of the day; but by , that terns I find that I must now understand the spoliation of Church Property, and the disavowal of all Reli gion by the State. To such an object, as involving, in my opinion, the greatest of all calamities that could befal a nation; as shaking the foundation of all property by the too easily imi tated precedent for other spoliation which it would afford, and of all order by the destruction of an institution which diffuses respect for the laws of God and man to the remotest cor ners of the land ; as withdrawing from the poor and from the rich the only permanent provision for their instruction in Eternal Truth, the benefit of which is extended to all, and even acknowledged by many of those who dissent froin her Com munion; to such an object, or to any steps that lead to it, I shall always offer the most zealous and unvarying opposition. These feelings, however, will not prevent me from continuing to lend a most favourable attention to every measure for the removal of real grievances, for putting the Maniages of Dis senters on a footing not offensive to their religious principles, for the establishment of a good system for the Registration of Births, or for an alteration of the system of Church Rates on a principle similar to that proposed by the Government of Lord Grey; and I foresee no real difficulty in the way of an arrange ment of these points which shall be satisfactory to all who are willing to be satisfied and who have no ulterior views. I shall also be glad to see some arrangement made by which the benefits of an University Education may be opened to the Dissenters without a Parliamentary interference with our ancient Uni versities, to which I cannot consent, and without a sacrifice of that religious discipline and instruction which I feel to be a distinguishing exc3llence of their present system, and which, even by the avowal of those who are most anxious for the change, would be incompatible with the free admission of per sons of different creeds to a common Education. On the subject of Church . Reform, in which the Curates' Bill of my revered father gives me an hereditary interest, I need only say, that I have long looked with anxiety fur some well-consi dered measures which shall provide for the less inconvenient collection of the Revenues of the Church, and the more useful distribution of them within her own pale, for the regulation and diminution of pluralities and non-residence, for strengthening her discipline, and enabling . her better to adapt herself to the wants of a growing population. These, then, are the principles on which I ask for your sup port. I will resist all farther change in our parliamentary system; I will support the reform of all that is really abuse in Political, Ecclesiastical, or Municipal bodies; but I shall require stronger evidence of the abuse, and look to safer counsel for the remedy, than that of men who are hostile to the very objects for which these bodies have been created. If, by your kindness, I have again the honour of a seat Parliament, these are the principles on which I hope to be able • to support his Majesty's present governthent. I confess I feel it to be of infinite importance, if they carry these principles fully and fairly into effect, that they should.receive from all real friends of their country a most zealous and energetic support. If they fail, what is our alternative government - Willing to "merge all minor differences" with Republicanism and Repeal, replaced in power by the Radicals of ,England. and the Agita tors of Ireland, and compelled, as a necessary consequence, to pay fur that assistance, whether they wish it or not, a price too costly for the British Constitution to survive. Such, in my opinion, is the option which is, practically, now before us. For my own part I cannot hesitate as to the choice. I trust I am not presumptuous in saving, that in these principles I sanguinely hope to meet with your concurrence. I um, Gentlemen, Your obedient and faithful Servant, SAN DON.

Gentlemen,--I should be dead to every sense of public duty if, at a time like this, I could for one moment he • ate to accede to your wishes.

In this spirit I do declare that I shall endea vour to give effect to all such measures of reform as may tend to insure good government, promote the happiness, and-main tain the just rights of the people. Gentlemeu,—l yield to no man in earnest desire and in steady determination to advocate that steady protection to which the interests of every man and every class of persons in this great community are justly entitled. I make no inconsiderate Jiro mises. I give no pledges. The duty of a representatiie is to reserve to himself the power of legislating freely upon all mat-. ters for the general good, and if it be your will to return ioe to parliament as your representative, I shall, in that capacity, endeavour to prove. myself worthy of your confidence, by zeal ous attention to your, local interests, anct ardent advocacy of the great commercial interests of your town, as well as thhse of the empire at large. Gentlemen,—l consider it to be the duty of a staternan to endeavour to promote the well-being, comfort, and happiness of the people in general, and to legislate with the view to mitigate, but not to aggravate, the ills of life. It will be ever my con stant aim to support measures calculated to ease the springs of active industry and enterprise, and to protect the property acquired thereby; and I will always give my sincere assistance to all measures that may cause the institutions of Britain to be beloved at home, and her name respected abroad. Gentlemen,—lf placed in the high and responsible situation of Representative for Liverpool, I would legislate for the general good. All my energies should be directed to the advancement of the interests of our country, by supporting and advocating all measures tending to secure the peace, and to promote the prosperity and the power of Old England.

Dr. Lushington said that this was a petition tiled on behalf of the London creditors of the above-named bankrupt, demand ing an appeal against the decision of one of the lower courts of Guernsey. All he wanted to prove was that there were suffi cient facts to engage their lordships to entertain the question. Le Couteur was a native of Jersey, established in business in Guernsey. Early in the month of May last, Le Couteur pur chased in London goods to the amount of i.:1,000. On the 10th of the same month he was arrested for debt, and, no bail having come forward in his behalf, he remained in prison for the space of twenty-one days. The custom in Guernsey, in proceedings of this sort, is to have the bankrupt's property immediately at tached; and, in consequence of the act of bankruptcy being ad mitted by Le Couteur, he was declared a bankrupt in this country. Previously to writing to Guernsey upon what had taken place, Le Couteur's son was charged with this mission; but on his arrival in Guernsey, he negl e cted to make th e at tachment for the general body of his father's creditors. The son, therefore, acted badly, as he did not perform the powers intrusted to him: and the consequence of this was that the Guernsey creditors attached the property before the attach ment had been made for the London creditors. On the 19th of July a gentleman of the name of Faircloth appeared before the royal court and claimed the property on behalf of the creditors and assignees of London. The petition then went on to state, that under the present bankruptcy act the bankrupt's property was vested in the assignees, and that, as the Guernsey creditors had not proved their debts, the law of attachment and sale of goods could not hold good in that island. The Guernsey credi tors proceeded to a sale of the property, and in September the matter was brought before the Guernsey court. There were only present the bailiff and two other persons, and the court directed a sale of the property so seized. The petitioner for the London creditors then asked for an appeal to the full court, but his request was refused. The petitioner complained of this, and, in consequence, notice was given that the sale would net take place till the 15th of September. The petitioner therefore prayed for leave to appeal to a full court in Guernsey, and if that court should decide in the same way that the former one had done, then he prayed to lippeal to their lordships in privy council to stay the same. The learned Dr. then said that the only question to be determined was, whether this was a fit and proper case to be heard by their lordships. It was to be seen whether Le Couteur, the son, was not only guilty of a fraud upon his father, but upon the London creditors, in the behalf of whom he was sent to Guernsey, in giving private notice of his father's bankruptcy to the Guernsey creditors. Their lordships thought that evidence ought to be produced to show whether Le Couteur the father and Le Couteur the son acted in conjunction, and whether collusion on the part of either was intended. In. order to have this evidence produced, they consented to delay their decision, that the petition might be amended. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, DECEMBER 29. JOSHUA VOLLANS, JUN.'S BANKRUPTCY. The bankrupt in this case was a partner in a firm carrying ma business in Leeds, and in consequence of the discovery of some extraordinary transactions which had created a consider able sensation in Vorkshire, a fiat was issued ogainst Mr. J. Vollans,.jun., who decamped; taking with him, as was supposed, considerable property belonging, to his creditors. The liabili ties of the bankrupt are estimated to amount to about £17,000. The bankrupt having left England, application was made to the Duke of Wellington, who immediately forwarded instruc-, tions to the British ambassador at Paris, where Vollans had proceeded to, in order that lie might be detained. The bank rupt, however, had proceeded to Lyons, having assumed the name of Alexander Beaumont. At the instance of the British ambassador a telegraphic despatch was forwarded to Lyons, directing the arrest of the party referred to on his reaching that place. At this place the bankrupt was arrested, there having been found on his person about £560. The bankrupt will shortly be brought to this country. In the meantime active measures were adopted to secure property, which it was under stood had been removed from tile bankrupt's possession, and the result of these efforts has been to discover bank notes to the value of £5,550. It is expected that further assets will be dis covered. A considerable reward was offered for the apprehen sion of the bankrupt. The first meeting of the creditors was appointed to be held this day, for the proof of debts and the choice of assignees. The commissioner, having been informed that the bankrupt had been captured, expressed his gratification at the prompt manner in which the authorities in France had acted, and hoped that there would be a dividend of 14s. or 15s. in the pound for the creditors, the assets secured being very considerable. The choice of assignees was postponed in consequence of its being intended to work the fiat against the firm in conjunction With that issued against the bankrupt. FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 2, 1835: We have received letters and papers from Jamaica to the sth November. We regret to say that they are re plete with despondency. The apprentices are incorrigi ble; are idle in the extreme, are constantly absenting thernselves from work, and are all but in a state of rebellion: The Kingston Chronicle, of the 7th Novem ber, has the following : Our letters from Manchester are unsatisfactory. A respected correspondent in that quarter writes as follows :—" Our sti pendiary, Lieut. Colebrook, has again resumed his duties, with his usual determined and correct manner, after a confinement . ciknearly two weeks." As regards the conduct of the appren tices he continues—" Unfortunately, the apprentices instead of going to their grounds . as they formerly did (when the mana gers had the power over them) are now rambling to the neighbouring parishes. Owing to the length of time they now have, from half-past one on Friday until six o'clock on Mon -day morning, many of them who were never there before have gone to Spanish Town. Surely his excellency the governor has it in his power to issue a proclamation forbidding the ap prentices (unless they have a ticket) to leave their homes on those days for the purpose of going a greater distance than five miles, unless they are going to church or market. If not checked immediately a famine must be the consequence next year, besides leading the present well-disposed apprentices into bad company. A suspicious character has been seen in the Plowden district, supposed to be from town." In another part of the letter of our correspondent, he writes (Tuesday)—" The hospitals are now crowded, in consequence of the excursion they, the apprentices, took. Our police have been most active, partictilarly in doing away with nightly meetings. On some of the persons apprehended at one of these meetings a ticket was found inviting some of the parties to go a distance of thirty miles. This must be put a stop to, or, beware of Christmas." The same journal observes : " The police has, in most cases, disappointed expectation. Sinecure appointments have been given to incompetent govern ment officials, who pocket the salary and do nothing except appropriating to themselvas the services of men paid to protect the public interest! We are beset by persecution and injustice on all sides, and it shall not be our fault if we do not shortly cast off the coil of corruption ! ! on this subject —more anon ! " We call the attention of our readers to the governor's reply to an address from the inhabitants of Trelawny. In that document his excellency has promised to give his assent to any measure tending to promote the improvement of the appren ticeship. A few weeks will prove the sincerity of his lordship. Several measures of amendment will be laid before the other brandies of the legislature, and the result of their deliberations will afford the strongest testimony of his lordship's desire to promote the interests of this colony." The following appeal to "Christians and Englishmen," whir c li we take f►•om the London Standard of Wednes day, will speak for itself:— .- - • d i. Qhristians of England, whether churchmen or dissenters, bssk - • to.,tlre letter of the Times correspondent, and the letter of tie lioman catholic bishop, M' bale, to be found in our next line: In these documents you will see the power put, forth withont concealment, and without reserve, to force 'llion the imperial legislature one hundred and five enemies of your coun try and your religion! You will see the priest, in his vocation, denOUncing eternal punishment against any man, so forgetful of his duty." as a trustee of the Roman catholic religion," as to obey the dictates of gratitude or friendship ! You will see the ruffian agitator, in his vocation, too, menacing with no less than the midnight murder of the recusant and his family, every one who shall not obey his, the agitator's dictation ! You will see the terrors of the present and of a future life, wielded for election purposes, with an impudence of contempt for the law and the constitution, such as almost defies belief! Our readers, however, have the facts and the indisputable truth before them. But then, some one will say, what can English electors do? they cannot vote against Mr. O'Connell or his nominees. No, but they-can vote against his allies,—and if they do not vote againikt every man tainted with that accursed alliance, they will be partakers of all their evil deeds." The Mr. JANIES MORRIS who has, at this alarming and distressing crisis, travelled no less than two hundred miles in a stage-coach in order to represent the electors of Liverpool, by whom he was not invited, made his first appearance in Clayton-square, on Wednesday, at the convenient hour when the working classes were going to and from their dinner ; but notwithstanding the crowd of people collected by this rather stale trick, it was a " sorry sight." We do not believe there were five hundred persons present who were electors, or took any interest in the success of the new candidate. Mr. MORRIS, however, addressed the people there assembled in what the reporters very facetiously call a " speech," but such a drawl of words and jumble of sentences were never heard before, not even from the eloquent lips of Mr. WM... Ewaß•r. The new candidate is not devold of cunning, for he took care to say as little as possible about principles, although he professed a vast deal of honesty, and boasted not a little, in exceeding bad taste, of his commercial knowledge and his resposible situatio❑ as one of the managers of the Bank of England. The meeting did not quite understand him, although the committee by whom he was surrounded professed to do so, and as they waved their hats on the balcony of the Bull tavern, the hired brawlers below set up occasionally a congratulatory yell. It was manifest from the ap pearance of the creatures that they were hired to shout and attend the candidate in his peregrinations through the town. The meeting in Clayton-square having proved a failure, Mr. MORRIS was next advised to try his fortune at a window in the Exchange-buildings, and on his march thither he brought with him the same respectable tail which formed so conspicuous but so ragged an appendage at the former• place. Such a group of curious-looking and half inebriated artists was never seen in the precincts of NELSON'S monument ; and the princely Rialto " where merchants most do congregate" was taken possession of by the scum of the beer-shops, and the elite of the back, we had almost said black settlements in the vicinity of ;Dale-street and Williamson-square. At the top of a window, perched upon what we sup pose was a three legged stool, looking for all the world like that comical little hero which amuses children in a booth, but whom out of respect we forbear naming,— at the top of this window, we say, Mr. MORRIS again attempted to address the electors of Liverpool. We can not report his speech for the most satisfactory of all rea sons—not a word of it could be heard in the square. He was followed by Mr. EWART, whom we have inex pressible pleasure in designating our late member. Here we had the two Whig candidates face to face, and conse• quently the most unequivocal proof of coalition. Here it became manifest, beyond cavil or disputation, that the whig and destructive factions—the masked plunderer and the avowed, and more honest spoliator—had formed an union in order to foist upon the electors of Liverpool two men who are ultra levellers, who would, if they could, make unitarianism the only religious system in England, and who by pulling down the church, and ap propriating its revenues to their own uses, or to the dissemination of that spurious and useless knowledge, pilfered from other books, published by Lord BROUGHAM, and patronized by some five hundred coxcombs in vari ous penny periodicals, would pave the way for the utter destruction of the monarchy. Electors of Liverpool! will you tolerate—will you submit to this? Will you any longer suffer Mr. WM. EWART to misrepresent the intellect, the intelligence, the wealth, and the loyal sentiments of the inhabitants of Liverpool ? Will you allow the obscure and fallen fac tion who support Mr EWART, to bring a perfect stranger before you at an hour's notice— a man utterly unknown —who has no standing in society—who may be an Ita lian image -vender for any thing you know—a man who probably comes from the Cogers club or the Lumber troop of London—will vou suffer such a faction to dic tate to you in the choice of a representative, and force upon you this Mr. MORRIS who never until now was in Liverpool in the whole course of his life ? This would be compulsory wickedness, or glaring suicide. The eyes of the whole nation are upon Liverpool, waiting the issue of the struggle. If you, who are 'so much de pendent upon the commerce of the country—you who have property to lose, or a subsistence to earn by your honest industry—you who are the electors of the second town in the empire, and the first in enterpriseand pros perity—if you return two destructives, or even one de structive to parliament, you will be guilty of an act of as great folly and madness as if each and all of you were to take a razor and cut your own throats. What gives Liverpool its renown and its trade ? The immense ca pital of its merchants, the advantageous investments of the corporation and the dock trustees, the unbounded confidence that is placed in them, the unlimited credit -they can command, and the matchless facilities they have provided for commerce; and if once you allow a destruc tive parliament to touch one stone or one prop of your local institutions, away the whole fabric would go to ruin and desolation. But, gentlemen, we beg pardon for this apparent dis trust. We have a far bettur opiuiou ("rpm. We know that though there are snakes in the grass, and wolves in the fold, and knaves in the garb of primitive simpli city—we know that though there be men who would buy and sell you—who would bribe and betray you—who would corrupt and degrade you—who would use and abuse you —still we know that the majority of you are animated with sentiments similar to ourown, and that when the day of trial conies, and when you are brought to confront the men who would have robbed you and your children, who libelled you in the newspapers, who bore false witness against you before a contemptible committee of the House of Commons, and who, by every mean art and base device, endeavoured to make you the scorn and the reproach of the world—when that day comes, and you confront your malignant slanderers, we feel as sured that the blood will boil in your veins, and that with one cheer for the King and another for the protest ant church, you will instantly record your votes in favour of your best friends, the conservative candidates. To the burgesses of Liverpool whose battles we have fought, and fought successfully, we have only this to say, that ELEVEN HUNDRED of their number voted for Mr. EWART at the last election. Think of this, burgesses, and blush ! There are your names and your votes upon the books—there you stand amid a halo of shame—there it is recorded that ELEVEN HUNDRED of you voted for the man who is your worst enemy, and who has now for his leading supporters Mr. THOMAS BOLTON, Mr. WM. RATHBONE, Mr. WYBErto, and others—men whom you are bound to hold in odium and abhorrence as long as you live. We mention these facts " more in sorrow than in an ger." The finger of scorn is pointed at the transaction, and we would gladly turn it aside, and by opening a new leaf make your future conduct atone for past errors. You cannot—you will not again vote for Mr. EWART. You would not like to hear your boy say by the fire-side —" Father, you disfranchised me !" You would not like to hear your fair child say, " Father, I was once a free man's daughter !" No, if there be a drop of English blood in your veins you would spill it freely rather than be subject to so foul a reproach. Let us then have no " misgivings. Of. the ELEVEN lIUNDRED who .voted for Mr. EWART, We expect to have a TIMIThAND at least to vote for Lord SANDON and Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS. Do this and you will retrieve your character, and gain immortal honour. You, by doing this, will wipe out the stain, and in the pride of your heart you will be able to tell your children that they are still the sons and daughters of a free burgess of Liverpool. By doing this the election is secure—it is secure already— Mr. EWART has not a chance—but by doing this you will return your friends by such an overwhelming majority as would for ever extinguish the pretensions of a faction. But we had nearly forgotten the coalition candidates, Messrs. EWART and MORRIS. After they had addressed the meeting from the upper window alluded to, they descended to the realms below, and proceeded to the Ex change rooms, but here their reception beggars all description. The hootings and hisses were so cordial and universal that they will never forget the scene. They were followed into the rooms by the tag-rag, which com posed their tail—by men without coats or shirts—by the dirtiest set of vagabonds we ever saw. These people professed to be operatives and freemen, but we strongly suspect that many of them had been brought from Man chester, and we are confident that a large portion of them were thieves. One gentleman had his pock et picked of three sovereigns, another had his hat stolen, and several others were deprived of their pocket handkerchiefs. This is a new sort of electioneering in Liverpool—the sort of free trade, perhaps, which Mr. MORRIS alluded to in his speech. We think Mr. EWART and his friends are bound to make restitution to the gentlemen who were robbed. We do not say they did it, but we are sure they were the cause of it. In sending to all our readers the compliments of the season, and wishing them a happy new year, we feel JANUARY 2, JS3S confident they will cordially join with us in bidding a hearty welcome to 1835. We feel no sorrow at the suP• cease of the year which is gone. It has waned into deep shade unlamented even by a parting tear. It has flitted away like the images of a troubled dream, and it will only be recollected by all real patriots as having re deemed in its ripe old age some of the errors of its youth. It dawned when revolutionists and destructives were in the ascendant, but it did not set until it had consigned them either to a state of helpless despon dency, or of impenetrable oblivion; and we can ima gine we hear the survivors of the faction exclaiming in a tone of the deepest sorrow, as an apostrophe to the vicissitudes of public men, and the instability of popu lar favour— Out ! out brief candle ! Life is but a passing shadow. For " shadow" read " quarter day," and you have the words of the poet made applicable to the recent disas ters in political life. The whips have had their day. They have fed for four years upon the fatness of the land; and but for their insatiable love of spoil—their deter mination to eat the very fences which surrounded them, the props that supported them, the fold they slept in, and the shepherd who protected them—but for this ra venous disposition, and this rabid appetite, the proba bility is that they would have been endured for another session and another twelvemonths longer. For ourselves, we can most truly say that we never felt any undue anxiety for the dissolution of the whig administration. We knew that the pretensions of that very silly, very ignorant, and now very contemptible party, were a thousand times greater than their com petency, and our only fear was that they might not have a fair trial. Our readers will recollect how frequently we implored the leaders of our own party not to accele rate their downfal by any opposition which might lead to a premature demise. We stood their friend in the gap between life and death. It would have been bad policy to have stormed the citadel, which might have been easily taken ; but we should have had the surrend ering band which we bad spared rising up in arms against their conquerors and preservers. No, our po licy was to keep them in office—compel them to remain at their posts, and perform the high and responsible du ties they had undertaken. This policy was adopted, and what were the happy consequences? Why, they quar relled among themselves. They turned their despicable arms against each other. "Hunger and the ague ate them up," as SHARSPEARE, Dr. BOWRING, or some other poet very beautifully remarks; and having no aid from without, no courage within, no honesty in their mea sures, no talent in their camp, nothing but idle raving, intrigue, conspiracy, and fruitless overtures with O'CON NELL—nothing but falsehoods to conceal their weakness, and protocols to cover their deficiencies—they at length fell by their own hands, in desperation and in drunken ness, the most repulsive suicides that evercame under the notice of a political coroner. In the disastrous year which has gone, and whose de mise we have celebrated with due formality, we certainly had the gratification of seeing that the peaceful but com pulsory system was completely successful. But while we admit the fecundity of its November blessings it would be vain to attempt to wash out or conceal the stain which is engrained on its memory. Its most important measure—that which the ministry exhausted all their fading energies to carry—was one of merciless oppres sion towards the poor. The charity of England became congealed under their influence; and all that was gene rous in the national character, and which had been truly national and beneficent for centuries, was turned to stone, while the maxims of christian philanthropy were converted into the forbidding and cold axioms of modern philosophy. The poor, whom the scriptures tell us " are always with us," and must always'be with us, were, with their motherless or fatherless children, denied any paro chial relief except in cases where neglect would be mur der. There was no compassion in the whig poor-law for misfortun,e, or old age, or accident, or unforeseen inca pacity, or unexpected deprivation. No. The whigs took great delight in grinding the faceS of the poor--in degrading those who could not vote for them—who could not augment the public revenue by sipping at their gin palaces, and drinking the horrid poison distilled by- the uuir.,..tily see on every whig hustings. This, however, was their crowning measure. It was— it is a measure of atrocious cruelty. We care not by whom devised. All we have to say is that it is a bill framed by a fiend, cold, heartless, and. passionless —a monk hating humane society, knowing nothing but the vices of society, and measuring his philanthropy by the standard of frail credulity, and the easily augmented number of his victims. If there were no other act in the statute book of the whigs, this would alone consign them to everlasting ignominy. The foul blot can never be removed. They were the ostentatious and professed friends of the labouring classes. They have proved themselves to be their most pitiless and remorseless ene mies. In the pursuit of a principle abhorrent to human nature they inverted the rules of prescribed liability, and they made the victim of fraud and seduction—the help less mother of a guilt-begotten child—the only responsi ble party, and the only sufferer, in a case of conjoint cri minality. The feebler sex were, by the whig law, made the scapegoats of domestic treason—of artful intrigue— of shameless dishonour—of base perfidy and cruel de sertion. A bounty was given to crime. A bonus was held out to the hoary seducer, and every female servant, if poor, (as poor she must be in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred,) was exposed to every temptation and fraud, without the hope of redress—nay, without the chance of sustenance, in a land famous for its liberality and its christian charity. This is the blackest spot in the ministerial proceedings of the year whose wake we now celebrate, as they do wakes in Ireland, with inexpressible delight. In fact, it was the only measure of the session and the year that we have any recollection of, or was of much importance.. Who would trouble himself to recollect one thousandth , part of any one debate in the first reformed House of Commons ? It was babble and twaddle, and cant, and small talk, and chaffering and snarling from first to last. One member accused another of falsehood on one night; on the succeeding night the lie was flung back with interest; and it was bandied backwards and for— wards until it was clear that both were equally guilty. Then came the ministerial intrigues with the beggar O'CoNNELL, which commenced in'whispers, was conti nued under the grossest breaches of confidence, warmed into bullying, and ended in the resignation of Lord GREY. Such was the last session of the reformed par liament, which, thanks be to his Majesty, is no more! What we havd stated is all we choose to remember about. it, and the less the better. In the third volume of MARTIN'S History of the Bri tish Colonies we see some notice taken of the eminent ser vices which Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS rendered to his c ountry while he was Governor of New Brunswick. The author in order to show the value of stock in the colony proceeds to state : " Of agricultural stock, the number of horses are estimated at 12,000; of horned cattle 87,000; of hogs 65,000; of sheep 105,000 ; while the number of acres of land under cultivation is, about half a million. Heretofore grain and provisions have. been imported, but it is to be hoped that New Brunswick is now become an exporting country for the necessaries of life.. And it is but justice to add that the recent improvement in' the. agriculture and cattle of the colony is plainly owing to thia.exer-. tions of Sir Howard Douglas, the late able Lieutenant-. Goveruor of that province." New Brunswick is indebted to Sir Howitunt for its present flourishing university, which is conducted on principles which have attracted towards it the young men of the United States. Formerly the tide set the other way, and the sons of our colonists were sent to Boston and other towns in America for their education. This. was a great evil, which Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS had the merit of correcting, by founding a college where persons of every creed are freely admitted, without any test being required except from those who aspire to theolo gical degrees. Mr. MARTIN observes : " In New Brunswick, as in other colonies, the schoolmaster is now abroad ; grammar schools, partly supported by legisla-, tive aid, are in active operation in several districts, and an ex-, cellent college has been established under the paternal auspices, .- THEATRE ROYAL, AND DUCROW'S ARENA.

We regret we cannot make room for the communication from Dumfries; but we are glad to perceive that a strong oppo sition is mustering against Sir Andrew Agnew, who has thrown himself into the arms of the whigs, the' voluntaries, and destructives.
