tunity of realizing Is. per quaiter advance on Monday's terms.
Barley, Beans, and Pease are unaltered. Oats have met a
slack demand at former prices. There has been some sale of
Flour this week at Monday's advance.

THE BERKELEY PARLIAMENTARY

MONOPOLY.

• TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
CHELTENHAM, JULY 18, 1837.
Sir,--In your paper of Tuesday, 18th July, you have
commented somewhat freely upon the remarks of the Chel-
tenham Journal of the preceding Monday, on the attempt
that has just been made by the noble head of the House of
Berkeley to monopolise in that family the representation of
FOUR seats in this county, by endeavouring to secure the
election of FOUR OF HIS OWN BROTHERS. Had your ob-
servations been as play as they have been freely made, I
should not now have called upon you, as I do, to acknow-
ledge that I had more than ordinary grounds for charging
the Berkeley family with such a violation of the great prin-
ciple of the Reform Bill—for the maintenance and well-
working of which measure I have, as a Conservative Re-
former, at all times contended as anxiously and as ardently
as you can possibly have done. I asserted that " the Press
had given the Berkeley Parliamentary Monopoly its death-
blow." And upon this, your brief and unwarranted com-
ment is in these words :—" Monopoly !' and death-blow!'
both the one and the other are creations of our injurious
Contemporary." As I take the epithet to be an acknow-
ledgment that the Cheltenham Journal has been "injurious"
to tic Monopoly, I accept it as a compliment, however it
was designed. But now for the charge of MONOPOLY.

When I have stated to you a few facts, which I defy the
Berkeley party to refute, I think you will acknowledge that
the " monopoly" was no mere " creation" of a prejuliced
mind, but a much-called for exposure of an unconstitutional
practice, which every sincere Reformer must in his heart
condemn, and you will likewise, I trust, admit that the
charge is but too well founded.

On the re-election of the lion. Craven Berkeley for this
borough, in January 1835, the Reformers of this consti-
tuency invited him and Lord Segrave to a public dinner, at
which his Lordship, in the course'of a long speech addressed
to the electors, made a voluntary admission, or rather a
boast, which, however extraordinary it must be considered
as coming from a Peer of the realm, under any circum-
stances, was most extraordinary front the lips of a Whig
Peer ; a nobleman, too, who had been raised to the Peer-
age for the express purpose of assisting the Reform Minis-
try in carrying that very Reform Bill, the main object of
which was to do away with the undue and unconstitutional
interference and influence of Peers in the election of Com-
moners. Lord Segrave, then, was reported by the Chel-
tenham Chronicle (a paper conducted on Reform princi-
ples) to have said that " to give effect to the Reform Bill,
HE had paid the c.rpcnscs qf THREE contested elections,
amounting to ?lima, ds FIFTEEN THOUSAND POUNDS!! r
And these " three elections" was understood to he con-
tests in which he had brought forward his owil brothers.
Now, Sir, is this undue and unconstitutional interference
of a Peer of the realm in the election of Commoners ?—or
is it not ?

In the last Parliament, Lord Segrave, at such an expense,
succeeded in placing THREE of his br3thers in the House
of Commons, viz.—the Hon. G. Berkeley for the Western
Division of this county ; Capt. F. Berkeley, R.N., for the
city of Gloucester ; and the Hon. C. Berkeley, for Chel-
tenham. And now, his Lordship has brought forward
another of his brothers to contest the representation of
Bristol. Should he succeed (of which, at present, there
does not appear the slightest probability, notwithstanding
the proofs his noble brother has given of the lengths to
which his interference and influence can be carried, when
occasion requires), there will then be r•ivE members of the
Berkeley family in Parliament—but their five votes being
only just tantamount to ONE, as far as the people are con-
cerned in the independence of their representatives, how-
ever they may " tell" in a division. Is not this a mono-
poly of the representation? But not content even with
such attempts, the partizans of Lord Segrave have, within
the past week, declared that his Lordship means to start
two more of his nominees to contest the representation of
the two divisions of the county. Is there no monopoly in
this? Or is it as justifiable in a Whig Peer as the pay-
ment of electioneering expenses.; or the threat imputed in
1834 to Lord Segrave (and never yet denied) " that he
would remove his fox-hounds from Cheltenham, if his bro-
ther Craven were not returned again !"—I am, Sir, your
obedient servant,
TDB EDITOR OF THE CERLTENHAM JOURNAL.
P.S. I now reiterate the declaration of Monday last,
which flie'unabated success of Mr. Peel's canvass up to
this hour most strongly confirms :—" In Cheltenham the
political domination of the Berkeley family has been shaken
to the very centre."

last year a bottle burst in his hand and wounded him severely

A Jew butcher, of Lille, has just been brought be-
fore the correctional police, on a charge of having in his pos-
session an unlawful weapon. The prohibited article in ques-
tion is a long and very sharp Damascus knife, with which he
slaughtered the beasts for the use of his Israelitish brethren,
their religion preventing them from eating any meat not killed
by a person authorised by the grand rabbi. The tribunal con-
demned the butcher to a fine of 16f., and confiscated the knife.

It is not, we believe, generally known to the lovers
of angling that the East and West India docks afford some
most excellent sport, when, like all other fishing, the fish are
found to be in good humour to bite. It is true that the pleas-
ing accompaniments of angling in the country are wanting ;
no refreshing verdure or picturesque landscapes delight the
eye ; and, in lieu of rural scenery, here we have forests of tall
masts,' and the stately forms of shipping from the moat distant
parts of the globe. The fish taken in the docks are perch,
roach, bream, dace, and eels. Admission to the docks for
angling is private; but tickets are to be obtained through the
directors or dock-masters. When the water is very high the
fishing is bad, as a quantity of fresh food is thereby let into the
dock; but this is chiefly applicable to the perch fishing.
In an undertaker's shop window in Holborn, ap-
pears the following placard : —" John Wilson, undertaker and
7ppraiscr.—N.B. Funerals performed, and diqresses made, in
town and country." The country people, we fancy, would
rather dispense with his services.
Our Sanquhar correspondent apprises us of the
distressing fact that two young men lost their lives at Lead-
hills, on Thursday last, by the rushing in upon them of a part
of the mines. The names of the sufferers, or any other parti-
culars connected with a calamity which must have carried
mourning into one of the most praiseworthy communities with
which we are acquainted, have not yet reached us.--Dunyi.ies
