SUNDAY MORNING TRADING IN THE ME-
TaopoLis.—An endeavour has recently been made to
suppress Sunday trading in the metropolis upon the vo-
luntary princip!e' but it has failed. Clare market, New-
port market, and Covent garden market were wholly
closed for some time, in the hope that their example
would be generally followed. But the result has been
that the amount of Sunday trading has not been les-
sened through it ; for not only has the example not been
followed by the street shops, but other places for Sun-
day trading have been opened, to which the business
before done in the markets was being transferred. The
consequence of this has been that the market people
have returnad to their former practice, which they will
continue till the Legislature,
by a general law, or by
making the law
against Sunday trading which exists
efficient, accomplishes what their example has failed to
effect, namely, the total
suppression of Sunday trading
in the metropolis.
MR. EwART.—We are authorised to state, that

prener time, explain to them his political sentiments,

Mr. Howlimos briefly addressed the electors,
speaking generally as to his large commercial connec-
tions with the county of Glamorgan, which was inti-
mately connected, in its mining operations and its coal-
fields, with this county; He said that the firm, at the
head of which was his uncle, Sir John Guest, employed
5,000 men, and he should be happy if he could at all
extend the commercial prosperity of the borough
which he then sought to represent. The Hon. Gentle.
man then declared his conviction that an alteration in
the Corn-laws would be a great benefit to the manu-
facturing intorest ; he thought that at present they were
injurious to all classes. He would support her Majesty's
Government in all measures that he considered would
be for the welfare of the country ; and to the Tories,
whom he denounced as the enemies of the Queen, he
declared that he would give his most decided opposition.
The only other topic on which be touched was the
Poor-law, to the principles of which he said he was
favourable, but he objected to one or two points in its
operation, such act parting the husband and wife. These
and other points should have his consideration, and
whenever be found that an alteration would be bene-
ficial, that alteration he would endeavour to promote.
The Hon. Gentleman was repeatedly cheered.
Sir John Guest, M.P., was loudly called for, and he
addressed a few words to the electors, after which the
Hon. Candidate and his friends left for this town.

NEWARK ELECTION.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

NEWARK, DEC. 18.

After the example set them by the Reformers, the
Tories here are trying hard to patch up a Conservative
Association, the prosperous nature of which may be
learned from the fact that in one of the most populous
parts of the town, a meeting was held the other even-
ing, when not more than five and twenty were present ;
and we are credibly informed that this was the strongest
collection they could muster, other meetings being com-
posed of a dozen, and in some places eight. The usual
stale clap-traps are not lost sight of, and more than
one appeal has been made to the religionists to come
forward and assist in the destruction of " a Popish
and infidel Government." The neutrals—a large body
composed of such of the honest electors as heretofore
havo voted for the Tories, but whose honesty forbids
them entering into the present affair—have also
been addressed in most sympathetic and bewail-
ing tones, and are entreated for the love they
bear to the Queen, the honour they have for
their religion, the regard they have for the Consti-
tutioq, to abandon their neutrality and join the quaking
Tories. Nor, in enumerating the varied phases already
assumed by Toryism during the struggle, must we omit
to mention the fact that Mr. Gladstone, "the recognised
nominee" of the Duke, has visited the town, but as he
remained incog., we are left to surmise the object
of his visit. It is whispered, however, that it was
produced by certain doubts of the honesty of
his own friends; and certain leers, naturally enough
produced by the conduct of his party, that at the gene-
ral election Mr. Thesiger woad be a dangerous rival.
Well may Mr. Gladstone be suspicious, for we can
aver, upon the most honourable testimony, that the
agents of the Clumber Duke are canvassing, and that
they constantly remind the electors that Ihe Duke is
not neutral, that he is favourable to Mr. Thesiger's re-
turn ; this is done, too, in defiance of the Duke's public
declaration that he took no part in the election. To
sum up the prospects of Toryism : they arc poor, spirit-
less, and disunited ; the Dissenters will not be cajoled
into coalition with their worst enemies, and the neutrals
despise the underhand attempts which have been made
to deceive them. Happ;ly, the state of the Liberal
cause can be described in a few words, and with-
out any equivocation. The Liberal Society
numbers many hundred members ; meetings are
almost nightly held, at all of which is ex-
hibited the utmost enthusiasm. They have
enrolled in their ranks, many, who on all former occa-
sions have been their decided opponents, and some of
the wealthiest and most respectable inhabitants are
included. Minor differences, which have too often de-
prived them of the assistance of valued friends, are
now forgotten or looked over, and the unanimity and
spirit which are manifested under all circumstances jus-
tify us in the assertion that the Serjeant's return was
never more secure. Let his friends continue as, they
have begun, and their efforts will be crowned with suc-
cess, the most honourable, and which, in a degree, will
be equalled only by the confusion of their enemies.

THE POOR MAN'S CHURCH.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
. . - . .

There is in the parish of St. Giles-in-the-Fields a
Ladies' Lying-in Charity, the receipts of which for the
year 1832 were 301. 15s. 9d., which was expended in
the following manner :-
70 cases relieved . . . . £7 0 0
40 letters for attendance of a midwife 5 5
63 cases gift on returning linen clean
and correct . • • . . 4 14 (;
Baby-linen to give away, at the same
time . . . . . . 1 8 21
Registering and churching! !! . . 60 0

Printing cards, &c. . . . . 2 2 8
Extra washing and sundries . . 1 5 41.

X3O 15 9

Thus of this small charity the Church grasps one-fifth
of the whole receipts ; it takes the tenth of the corn,
the wine, and the oil, and the one fifth of the charity
fund ! Yet this is the Establishment that vaunts itself
the Poor Man's Church.
