PITT THE SORROWS OF A DISTRESSED SHIPOWNER.

—We lately published a long list of vessels belonging
to Mr. David Dunhar, who is loudest amongst the
loud in proclaiming the ruin of our shipping trade,
in consequence of the repeal of the navigation laws,
amounting to an aggregate tonnage of 33,000 tons; the
greater part built and purchased very recently, whilst
the ruin of British shipping was in daily progress.
It is with pain that we are obliged today to an-
nounce an addition of other 1,000 tons to Mr. David
Dunbar's distressed family of 33,000 tons. The
birth is thus announced in the Durham Adrretisa.
of Friday :—" On Monday last a splendid new ship,
the largest ever built in the pert of Sunderland, was
launched from the yard of James Laing, Esq., Dept-
ford, named Vimiera, Al, 13 years, burthen 1.027
tons. She is the propertript David Dunbar, Esq., of
London." Nothing, then, It isrto be feared, can save
this infatuated protectionist from tlic worst cakuni-
ties of free trade.

GREENWICH ELECTION.--On Saturday Joshua
Morris, Esq., the returning officer for the borough of
Greenwich, pursuant to precept from the high sheriff for
the county of Kent, gave notice that the nomination of a fit
and proper person to represent the borough of Greenwich in
Parliament, in the room of the late Mr. Barnard, would
take place at ten o'clock on Thursday morning, the 26th
instant, on the hustings, in front of St. Mary's Church,
Greenwich. A numerous meeting of the supporters of
Alderman Wire took place on Saturday eveuiug, at
the Greyhound tavern; the friends of Alderman Salo-
mons assembled at the Stags. The great and nearly
complete agreement in the political principles of the
two aldermen almost reduces the electors to seek
the grounds of their preference in the more pk vomit
qualifications of the candidates. A very large number
who would have supported Alderman Salomon a year
' ago, in the present posture of affairs object to a candidate
who would feel himself precluded from supporting the' go-
vernment in its endeavours to repress the attempt. of the
Rooth& ecclesiastics to establish an arrogant despotism in
the name of liberty. Others, well disposed towards Alder-
' man Salomon, and giving him full credit for the intention
he has expressed of claiming and taking his seat in tho
House of Commons if elected, look at the actual state of
the law, and fear that his return would practically prove
the loss of a representative to Greenwich. Mr. Wire has
the advantage of living in the borough. His votes upon all
general questions, it is urged, would be such as his rival
would give, while he would be free to support Lord John
Russell's anti-papal measure.
THE MONMOCTIISHIRE BOROCOrI9.—Some of our
neighbouring contemporaries are giving currency to a num-
ber of idle rumours with respect to the representation of
the Monmouthshire Boroughs. We have been assured, on
pretty good authority, that Mr. Blewitt has no wish or in-
tention to retire from the post which he has filled so long.
In case of a dissolution, we do not believe that any one
of the highly respectable gentlemen who have been
named as the opponents of Mr. Blewitt will come forward
to contest the Boroughs against him.—Monmouthshire
Merlin.
RICHARD COBDEN, ESQ., M.P., AND THE PEACE
Mottos.—The following letter relative to Mr. Colslen's
motion of last Tuesday has been received from the hon.
gmtleman by our townsman, Mr. Ilarvey: " London, 18th
June, Sir,—l am much obliged by your letter,
with an account of the very spirited meeting held in Leeds
in support of my motion yesterday. You will observe by
the report that, at the earnest desire of many of my friends,
I abstained from going to a division. As a general rule, I
think it is best to ascertain one's strength or weakness by a
vote of the house ; but, on the present occasion, I yielded to
the wish of my parliamentary friends, who seem anxious to
persuade themselves that Lord Palmerston will do all that
we wish him to do without a vote of the house. I hope
they may not be disappointed ; but if, after the lapse of
another year, it shall be found that nothing is done or at-
tempted-by the noble lord, then I trust that the friends of
our pacific and economical policy will pursue a bold and
.Independent course, totally regardless of the views or wishes
of the minister of the day, whoever he may be. I shall feel
happy to be out, of the members of the Leeds delegation to
the Peace Congress ; and believe me, faithfully yours, 80.
