rangement has taken place, no survey has been held :
she goes to sea to still make four feet water, and to
endanger the lives of all in the first squall they encoun-
ter, for I am greatly mistaken if she has not sprung her
foremast, about six feet below the cross-trees. Such,
the reasons of my caution to Lloyd's. If the Tasma-
nians are accustomed to send their vessels 16,000 miles,
and round Cape Horn, in a state similar to what the
Brougham was in, the sooner the Committee at Lloyd's
appoint a proper agent at Hobart Town and Launces-
ton, the bitter it will be for their interests.

MR. COWPER'S ADDRESSES.

TO THE FREE AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE

BOROUGH OF HERTFORD.
" Gentlemen,—Having accepted an office under the
Crown, I have now to solicit a renewal of that honour-
able trust which you have confided to me, and I do so
under the hope that my humble endeavours to serve you
faithfully—to promote the welfare of my constituents,
and of the country at large, may not have altogether
failed in obtaining your approbation.
" If you should again return me to Parliament, I
shall continue to act upou those political principles
which have hitherto guided nay conduct, and which I
have had frequent opportunities of personally explaining.
" With respect to the Jamaica Bill, which was the
immediate cause of the resignation of Ministers,' I con-
sider it to be absolutely necessary for the vindication of
the honour of this country, for the working out of the
great measure of negro emancipation—the proudest
trophy of the present age—and for securing to the
blacks the enjoyment of that freedom of which their
masters would leave them only the name.
"Every dictate of feeling, of honour, of loyalty, and
justice, impel me, at all hazards, to support our Queen
in her noble resistance to the cruel attempt so unworthily
made to wrest from her Majesty a prerogative hitherto
unquestioned, and to usurp the power of dismissing, at
the Minister's will, those ladies of her Court whom, i
from their sympathy and devotion, and from long ac-
quaintance, her Majesty could look upon as friends.
" I venture to hope for a continuance of that con-
nection with you which 'has been my gratification and
pride ; and being unconscious of any change in my own
sentiments, I trust I shall not discover any adverse
ohange to have occurred in yours.
" I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
" Your obedient humble servant,
" WILLIAM F. COWPER."
" May 13, 1839."

'1 TO Till FREE AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF

THE BOROUGH OR HERTFORD.

" Gentlemen,—My canvass being nearly completed, I
have now to thank you for the kindness and cordiality
with which you have received me, and for the very nu-
merous promises of support, which leave me no doubt of
final success.

" The explanations which hare taken place in Parlia-
ment since my first addresq, and which, certainly, re-
move all grounds for ascribing any but proper and loyal
motives to the leaders of the Tory party in their late
negotiations, assure us of the re-establishment of the
Whig Administration, whose career of sound and prat•
tical reform, if duly supported by the people of this
country, will not suffer from this momentary interrup-

two.
" I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you all indi-
vidually before the day of election ; and
" I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
" Your obedient humble servant,
" May 15, 1839. "WILLIAM F. COWPER."
