DEVONPORT ELECTION.

• (From. theDevw-7jortinciependent.)
MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF MR.
• TUFNELL.
A meeting of the Committee, friends, and supporters
of Mr. Tufnell was called by public announcement on
Friday, to meet that gentleman at Elliott's Royal Ho-
'el, where' he arrived by the mail at half.past four
o'clock. A large number of the constituency had as-
.etnieled in the' ball-room, nearly four hundred persons
')eing present. Soon after five o'clock Mr. Tufnell en-
,-ered the room, and was very warmly received, the
eheers being loud and repeated.
Dr. THOMAS presided, and, in opening the proceed-
ngs, stated that it was highly gratifying to see such an
4ugmentation of their numbers, and he hoped he might
,ay that almost all those then present were Mr. Tuf-
eell's friends.—(Cheers.)
Mr. TUFNELL rose and was again greeted with
loud cheers. 'He said, when be reflected on the very
short time that had elapsed since he came among them a
perfect stranger,. and when he saw the enthusiastic and
;ratifying welcome that had met him here that evening,
he could not but feel rejoiced at finding himself again
imeng so many kind friends, and he felt that in coming
down he had done his duty.--(Cheers.) Perhaps they
might inquire of:him the reason. of, his having coma
down among them at this crisis ;.he was not summoned
by his friends or hihis committees, but he had come of
his own spontaneous accord, :for this single and simple
reason, that he had heard (and he rejoiced io hear it).
that there was a Tory opposition in the field.—
(Cheers.) He said immediately, wherever an enemy
was . foiled there Was 'his place also:—(teeud cheere)e,-
end he had' comedown -to oppose hiM here front to front,
and foot to foot.--;-(Cheers.) . He came to test him in
person, and to find out what miraculous . chenge`'
had come over the electors of this inde
dent borough, to. ppe why they who-,4in 1834, e-
flounced and defeated- the Secretary of eth:Admiraity,
tow it was they now came round to return him when lie
eo looger occupied that office.—(Cheers.) He came
to unravel the mystery ; he liked to understand these
things himself, for however his friends might }work its
his absence, yet there was nothing like a candidate
beingon the spot—nothing like his becoming acquaistteele
with the electors—nothing like seeing them day byrrilne'e, •
and understanding the interests.of flit:Nowa:llle nelight
seek to represent.—(Hear, Itear.)ee.lt wel' for this
simple reason he had come down—to be acquainted with
them more and more, and to show the enemy that,
wherever he might be, there would he be also.—(Cheers.)
He was happy to say that since he had taken his leave of
them their position had much changed for the better.
There Illid been on their side a disinterested, noble, and
generous accession of friends, and conduct like
that of those gentlemen who, after the withdraw-
ing of their candidate, had given him their sup•
port on the present occasion, entitled them to the
highest admiration ; wherever he had heard it spoken
of, it had been mentioned in terms of the warmest
approbation—(Cheers)—and it had entitled them to the
thanks of every Reformer in the country.—(Cheers.)
It was conduct like this which, as an elector, he had
always pursued, whether he stood in the first rank or
the second. If he could support a person that happened
to be his friend, he did so ; but if he could not, he had
always rendered his best assistance to the candidate
who was most likely to defeat the Tory.—(Loud
cheers.) It was perfectly right to support one with
whom one had connexions, friendships, and personal
predilections, for these could not be easily severed ;
but this support could not be persevered in when it
would be detrimental to the public interest ; and if
waiving those ties could contribute to the general good;
it became the duty of every man to consider well be-
fore he exercised the elective franchise, and to throw.
his weight into that scale which was most likely to de-
feat the mutual enemy.—(Cheers.) That was his
principle, and he rejoiced in having received the sup-
port of a borough that had adopted that principle.—
(Cheers, and" You're all right.") He had no doubt
that they were " all right," but they had one inconve-
nience on the present occasion ; considerable delay and
doubt must occur before the time of coming to the poll.
;--(Hear, hear.) The interval between this time and
that must be spent in constant working and canvassing ;
with respect to this he had heard of a trick that had
been attempted against them. While canvassing, he
had never asked for any votes except for himself; he
bad. said to every elector, " If my principles are in, ac-
cordance with yours, give me your vote ;" but lie bad
never said, " If you cannot vote for me, whom do you
vote for ?"—(Cheers.) If he could not get an elector's
vote for himself, he had never wanted to withdraw it from
any other gentleman.—(Hear, and cheers.) He souehte
to stand on his own merits ; anything else he considered
subterfuge, and a thing that ought not to be encouraged
by the independent electors. That they should obtain a
victory in the end—that they should discomfit the Tory,
and drive him out still more disgracefully than. he went
before—(Loud cheers)—he had not the slightest doubt,
and that in spite of the band of lawyers that they saw
around him, and combined against them.—(" Three
groans for the lawyers," given heartily.) He respected
the profession of a lawyer, when he did his duty in his
proper sphere ; and whenever he availed himself of
their services, he was willing always to pay them chat
was their due reward ; but on an occasion like this he
would say, give him the friendly and voluntary assistance
of no professional men, but of those friends who would
support him on principle—who would go day by day
and work without either gratitude for past favours, or
hopes of future reward.—(Loud cheers.) Those were
the persons he liked to see connected with him, whom
he liked to go about with him, for they must have credit
and influence with the electors.—(Cheers.) Though he
respected lawyers in their proper sphere, let them'
keep to that, and not attempt to influence the inde-
pendent electors in another place where they were not
required. He did not know whether it was necessary
for him to say much more, but he wished particularly
to direct their attention to this point. Now he had
come down there, their time should not be emp!oyed
more than necessary in mere meetings.—( Hear.) He
understood that District Committees had now been
formed, and with these he hoped to go out day by day,
and hour by hour, and work with them, in which his
time would be quite at their disposal. They must come
to him at any hour whatever, and tell him where his
presence was necessary, and there he should be at their
service—there work with them heart and hand to defeat
the Tory candidate.—(Loud cheers ; " You should get
five pounds in halfpence, to give to the boys 1" cheers.)
They would now, perhaps, allow him to take his leave
of them for that evening, with his again assuring them
that his time and services were theirs whenever they
were in the slightest degree required.—(Cheers.)
Captain FOOTE, R.N., said the remarks of the ho-
.
nourable candidate, though short, were pithy, and to the
purpose. He should not waste any eulogium on him,
but he should say he seemed just the sort of represen-
tative to elect, being a straightforward, honest, and un-
compromising Reformer.—(Cheers.) He was of inde-
pendent character, a scholar, and as fit a man as any in
the kingdom to represent this important maritime town
'in Parliament.—(Loud cheers.) Captain Foote then
proposed that the meeting express their opinion that
Mr. Tufnell is a fit and proper person to represent them.
—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. AXFORD said that the best subject was not
Mr. Tufnell merely, but the cause of Reform.—
(Hear, hear.) If they wished to keep their families
in peace and preserve harmony among themselves,
they would tell Mr. Dawson that Devonport is no
place for a Tory representative. He had heard of
different candidates in the field ; he knew of but two,
the Right Hon. G. R. Dawson and Mr. Tufnell. As
an individual, they all knew and valued Mr. Leach,
but his friends were causing divisions, and he came late
into the field. Under such circumstances, they were
bound to support Mr. Tufnell, and not Mr. Tufnell
alone, but the cause of Reform, for which he proposed
three cheers.

These were given, and after three cheers for the
Queen, the meeting broke up, and the members of the
committee adjourned to the committee room, to make
arrangements respecting the canvass.

.OYAL ARSENAL, WrOOLIVICII.—On ues-
day twenty-six pieces of ordnance, thirty-two pounders,
were proved at the butt, and they were all found per-
fect. These handsomely-constructed pieces were . cast
from the Royal Arsenal patterns introduced by Mr.
Monl:, and present a chaste and light appearance, com-
bined with great strength. Compared with those formerly
in use the saving in weight of metal is considerable, there
being a difference of 26 cwt. less in a thirty-two pounder
on Mr. Monk's plan, and the experiments made at
Walmer Castle during the summer have decided their
superiority, as the most effective pieces ever introduced
in the British army. A piece of eight inches bore,
from which a ball weighing about eighty pounds was
fired, carried a distance of three miles and a quarter,
and would, consequently, do great execution before our
opponents could come within the range of their diffel,
rently constructed pieces of ordnance. Two large
pieces, constructed from Mr. Monk's patterns 4 carryingweighing
about 85 cwt. having a bore of 10 inches, and
a ball of one cwt. a distance of upwardA .of three miles,
have been labelled " Vesuvius," and two of the same
calibre " Stromboli." They are intended for two
steamers about to ply in the Indian Ocean, alit)Olet

Sin,—Being a constant reader of your valuable
Paper, and thinking that you must have been. misin-
formed when you stated that the working classes felt no
sympathy for Mr. Frost, I take the liberty' of giving
you a short description of the proceedings in his'behalf
in this and the neighbouring towns.
One of the largest in-door meetings ever held in this
town assembled at the summons of O'Connor, to declare
their sympathy with the Welch patriots. . It was held
in the Carpenters' Hall, and the place, which will hold
five thousand persons, was crammed to suffocation.
The meeting was addressed by O'Connor, Cardo, and
Brown of Birmingham ; and great feeling and enthu-
siasm in 'favour of Mr. Frost was evinced. A large
subscription was collected in the room, and is now being
carried on throughout the town. Mr. Cavdo addressed
a large . meeting at Bolton on IVedneslay week, on
behalf of Frost. The events in Waks ht;ve infused
a new spirit into .the Chartists of this phrre. The
subscription is going on rapidly. At Roc,hdtrle, Mr.
Thompson, a delegate from Newcastle, addressed a
crowded meeting. A large sum has been coil Bated.
The Chartists of Oldham are subscribing to the De-
fence Fund. At Ashton-under-Line the people, are
up and doing; three public meetings have been teld
at this town since the insurrection, and the working
classes are most enthusiastic in behalf of their IVeleh
brethren. Middleton is not behind ;at this place .pub-
lic meetings have been Convened, and the stibsiription.
is going on well. The same is the case at Preston.
At Stockport and Hyde, in Cheshire, large bodies of
the labouring classes have assembled.:
I may likewise give you a little infortnation as to
other districts. t

Meetings (and large ones) have been held at.. Mac-
clesfield, Not tingham,Bradford, Sheffield; arid 'Barnsley,
and throughout the West Riding. You are -no
doubt aware that another Convection is to meet
In London during the Present month. Delegates
have bein elected for Newcastle, ' Shef-
field, West Riding, Nottingham, '4(l.r:tan:v. other daces
mil soon proceed to the election. Three or four only
will be sent from ibis district, as the ConVention nili
Consist of ii-lirri;ted- number. I may conclude by assur-
ing yon'that 'from whatever qnarter you derived your.
4formatinn respecting the feeling of the people in the
case of PrOst, it is utterly falSe.

PRICE OF SUGAR.

EFFECT OF MONOPOLY.

Table showing the ex-duty price of West India
Sugar in Mincing-lane, and comparing the same against
that of Foreign Sugars :
LONDON, DEC. 20, 1839.
The Gazelle of this evening will quote the
average price of British Plantation Musco- Per cwt.
vado Sugar, exclusive of duty, at
The actual quantity of Sugar sold on account of the
importers,in the week ending the 16th inst., according to
"the returns made upon oath by the West India Sugar
Backers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament,
and on which the above price is computed, consisted
of 1,039 hogsheads, 87 tierces, and 205 barrels.
The difference in the prices of West India Sugar
and Sugar produced by free labour in Foreign Colonies
is about 16s. 61. per cwt. the former class of Sugars
being so much dearer than the latter.
In the port of London about 30,000 hhds. and trs.,
say 22,000 tons, have been landed 'less from the West
Indies from the Ist of January last to the present date
than in the like period in 1839.
To meet this deficiency from the West' Indies the
public have, by the exercise of great economy,. used
25,000 hhds. and trs., or about 16.000 tons less this
year than last, and there has been a vast increase in
the import ltion of Sugar from the Ernst Indies, in
round numbers 6,000 tons., which circumstances com-
bined place the supply of Sugar to London in the same
position as though the crops in the West Indies had
not been deficient.

The stock of West India Sugar now exceeds the
stock in 1838 by 3,400 hhds. and trs., and the stock of
East India Sugar shows an excess over last year of
2,700 tons, together about 4,800 tons.
In consequence of the Sugar Market being closed all
next week on account of the Christmas holidays, there
has been more disposition during the three days just
paEsed to make purchases ; this trifling excitement,
however, will cease with the cause of it, and we anti-
cipate lower piices in January next.

CONTINENTAL EDUCATION.

TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE DUBLIN EVENING POST.

Marlborough-street, Dec. 17, 1839.

MY DEAR Ste.—Having, during a tour I have lately
made on the Continent, found Leisure and opportunity
for some researches bearing upon our education ques-
tion, arrl rssured myself of several facts ealculate4l to
throsv:t light upon it, I am desirous of making some report
thereon to my fellow citizens. If I put lOLA I have to
say on the subject into a pamphlet, I shOnld find few
readers, for, as even pamphlets, accredited wiTh high
names, scarcely attract the slightest notice amongst u.s,
of course one marked with my name could not hope for
any at all. I wish, however, to be read, believing very
honestly, however mistakingly, that I have something
to say pertinent to the purpose ; and if you can oblige
me with a few columns for two or three of your publica-
tions, I shall have a chance of a few readers
amongst your gentle public at Icast. Nay, I. ven-
ture even to hope that, as I do not address myself to
the question in the spirit of a partisan, but merely as a
uarrator of fact, and rather as a mediator than as an
advocate, even those Journals that have taken adverse
sides upon the question may not scruple to give place to
my report in their pages, too.
If you consent, I will send you to-morrow a portion
for insertion in yoUr paper of Thursday.

- Your's very. truly,
T. O'MALLEY.
[The Editor of the Dublin Evening Post, has
accepted the offer of the Rev. Gentleman. Mr. O'Mal-
ley, we hardly need inform our readers, is a man of no
inconsiderable abilities. He has already distinguished
himself by his writings on the application of a Poov-
law to Ireland, and, if we are not mistaken, has broker;
a lance with " John Tuam" himself in defence of the
National System of Education. Mr. O'Malley's obser-
vations on those plans of public instruction adopted on
the Continent, the working of which, he has seen with
his own eyes, cannot fail to possess a decp interest at
the present monient, when the public mind is so anxiously
turned to that subject ; and we arc quite sure that if
the promised communications are made before the
meeting of Parliament, they will be very generally cir-
culated by the Press ]

It is generally believed that Dr. Bowstead, th•
present Bishop of Sodor and Man, will be the no,

THE HEAD VALET TO THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.—.
Last evening an inquiry took place before Mr. Gale.
the Corcuer for Westminster, and a jury of respectable
tradesmen, at the Union Tavern, Alarylebone-street,
Regent•street, into the circumstances attending th
death of Charles Muller, aged 46, Head Valet to tbi,
Duke of Cambridge. Sophia lirosse, a German, wl,
lived in the deceased's service, stated some particular,
of no interest relative to his death. 31r. Thomas
Young, of 209, Piccadilly, surgeon, stated, that he w,i
called upon to attend deceased, and afterwards, with th,
assistance of Dr. Bridge, of 37, Cavendish•square, mad%

attached to the large vessel of the heart, containing bloo;;
had burst, and this was the cause of death 4 The juts

THE DUKE OF BORDEAUX.—Extract of
letter from Rome, of the 3d inst. :—Since the arriv:
of the Duke of Bordeaux every effort has been made 1,
his small court to attract observation, and there hr
been an anxious canvassing for recruits to swell h
society, but with small success ; two or three Russian.
and Prussians, and a few more English,
personal friend,
of the Duchess de Gontaut, are all the additions th:.*
can be made. The Roman nobility and principal ft
reign travellers stand aloof, deterred by the irksomenes
of a rigorous etiquette ; while,
for other reasons, th
corps diplo»zatique, with the exception of the Ministc•
of Naples, and the Papal authorities, Cardinals, an
Prelates, resist all overtures from the Palais Coot.
Had the Prince preserved the incognito under which I
came,
he might have passed a pleasanter time, and set
more varied company ; but the object of the little part
is not his Royal Highness's gratification, but to make
stir, to he talked about, and to give themselves the airs ,
importance to which in truth they have no pretenc

to this, that out of regard to the labourers they wish
to star ye them on 9s. or 10s. a-week, when they
mi,41.,-. get 20s. The real secret of the partiality of
tire Tories to agricultural labourers is that they
art- most willing slaves, while manufacturing
la'r,urcrs both acquire a spirit of independence and
o .ver to make it available.
There is something of Arcadian simplicity in the
.sficction of the Tories for a rural life. They have
rca 1 in the writings of sentimentalists and poets,
Io belonged to a race or generation which existed
• .
:: ')ont the time that men began to build and dwell
it cities, and who adhered to all the old prejudices
~ their forefathers, of the great beauties and
n2r difold virtues of milk-maids and shep-
h rds, and they reason as if there were
tit:idler health, happiness, nor virtue, except
amongst the sporadic tillers of the soil and breeders
of
.eattle. All that has a very pretty pastoral air,
q'dte agreeable to the nymphs who may be supposed
to ..earl the Morning Post; but those who have
oked at the records of our rural population, and
• 'tett their cottages, are well aware that they are
.1-14 cted with many diseases ; that the form is bowed
3wn, and life cut short in the country by excess
;•.e toil and exposure to all kinds of weather, as
ell as in cotton mills ; and that there is rather more
overty, more misery, and more vice in the rural
'districts than in towns, though in them it be more
concentrated in a focus, and therefore more appa-
rent, as well as more continually brought under no-
tice by the exertions of a vigilant police.
Without quoting statistical details to illustrate
this view, which have latterly been brought before
the public to satiety, we will content ourselves with
noticing a general principle. All over Europe,
without any exception, crimes of violence arising
from revenge, jealousy, &c., have regularly and
gradually diminished, and they have diminished
most in the town-covered Holland, Belgium, and
England. In spite of the interested misrepresenta-
-ions of the priesthood, there has been a gradual
and continuous improvement in the morals and con-
(Ltion of mankind, and that improvement has been
contemporaneous with the growth of a town popu-
lation. Those v;ho have such a predilection for a
rural life may see it to perfection amongst the savages
f New Zealand, or the Guachos of South America.
E;ut whether our poetical politicians prefer a rural or
town life, the multiplication of mankind is in obe-
'ience to a great natural law ; towns which cannot
ne razed already exist, and unless the increase of
population is to be suppressed by some plan of
pabiless extinction, towns and a manufacturing po-
:)tilLt.,:n will extend themselves over the empire.

LONDON :
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1839.

The Tories have taken great pains to deny the
charge of disloyalty which has been justly made
against them on account of the feelings which
Messrs. BRA Dsll A w and Rosy took it on them-
selves to express in the name of their party. Lore;
INGESTRIE, by a letter, and the Earl of DART
MOUTH, by a speech, have both insisted on then
devoted loyalty, and the latter Noble Lord vouchcu
for his party as well as himself. The Tories wen
always loyal, even when they were intriguing tc
bring in the Pretender. They were loyal n
the exiled STUARTs. At present there exists
Pretender to the allegiance of the Orangemen, ii
not to the Throne, and it would be advisable in the
Tories, when they again profess loyalty, to specify
which Sovereign they mean. Are they loyal to
Queen VICTORIA or King ERNEST ? \\That
they are contemplating may he known or guessed
at by the following paragraph from the Lincoln and
Newark Gazette of Tuesday :

BORDERING ox TREAsoN.—Great and just as is the
disgust of the respectable Reds, at having the peace of
the town disturbed by the presc.nt vexatious opposition,
it will, we are confident be increased to horror when we
lay before them some of the proceedings of their o;vn
party ; nor will they alone partake of this feeling, for
will be participated in by every honourable and right-
minded pei son throssOmut the country. Whatever the
bias of political opinion, the national character of Eng-
lishmen is loyalty to the Sovereign ; much then is it to
be regretted that his character should have such frequent
taints, but Newark was the last place we should have ex-
pected in which to have found disloyalty. In former
days, meetings were held in London no the 30th w
January, where a call's head was the principal dish, to
commemorate the hellea,!ing of Charles I. ; and durit:
the last week, at Newark, at a red supper, whieh iv
are compelled to call " Calves' head meeting" the fo'.
lowing toast was given by Mr. Proudlovo :
" The Queen's Head in the Poultry, and may every
passer-by have a chop at it."
It. is deeply to be regretted that a spirit of faction
opposition to one of the Queen's public servants shou:A
have led away these once boasted loyalists, into ex -
pressions thus disgracefully directed against the Quera
herself: we are aware that it is an old Republic :1:,
toast, the more therefore as loyal men to be condemn
by the friends of monarchy ; had the person giving tl•-
toast been ordered to quit the room, the party weui,'
have acted commendably, but to drink it, and therct,:.
sanction it, savours but litt'e of good feeling or attae,.
ment to the throne ; it has been attempted to frY.ti-I
away the meaning of the toast, but the proposer bia,•
self admits he thought it might have a political bearir,-.
We did not suppose that Messrs. BRA DSHA
and ROBY could well he outdone, but Mr. PROUD
LOVE, a loyal Newark Tory, has far surpasr,:d
them. Henceforth they will form a noble trig.
PROUDLOVE, BRADSHAW, and Roar, three
great Tory saints, the guides and leaders of the
party. Will any sane man, however, boast of the
loyalty of Tories after such an exhibition

The Tory Journals, arguing against the aboli-
tion of the Corn-laws, admit that it would much
