was their pet orator—in short, tneir trump card—yet
at this very moment, he is, we suspect, making pre-
parations for bidding adieu to East Cumberland, and
retiring, like Sir ANDREW A GNEW, into " the calm
bosom of domestic felicity I"

The elections are proc:eding gloriously in Ireland.
Equally generous, enlightened, and patriotic has been
the enthusiastic response given by the Liherals of the
Sister Kingdom to the Ministerial war cry of the
" QUEEN and Reform !" In marshalling her forces
for the great struggle which must shortly ensue, Ire-
land claims a place in the van, instead of remaining
any longer sulkily in the rear of England and Scot-
land. We yesterday announced the return of two
Reformers for the city of Dublin ; and we this day
have the satisfaction of proclaiming the return of two
more for Belfast. Thus in two Constituencies four
Tories have been unseated, viz. :—HAMILTON and
WEST in Dublin, and EMERSON TENNENT and
DUNBAR in the capital of Protestant Ulster ! Lord
BELFAST and Mr. GIBSON, the new Members, whose
return reflects so much honour upon the liberality of
the electors of Belfast, are both staunch Reformers,
whose best support will uniformly be given to the pre-
sent Government. The electors of Sligo have also
burst the bonds of Toryism, and elected Mr. SOMERS,
a steady Reformer. In Wexford the Tories did not
dare to show themselves, so that Mr. WALKER was
returned without a contest. In Carlow Mr. MAUL;
a Reformer, has been returned after a most violent
and disgraceful contest on the part of the Tories.
Armagh, too, disappointed the hopes of the Tories by
returning Mr. STANLEY, a gentleman of professedly
ultra-Liberal opinions. In Kilkenny, Waterford,
Clonmel, and Cork, the triumph of Reform is
equally certain. Thus, whatever be the result of the
struggle in England and Scotland, Reform is already
triumphant in• Ireland.

But while we congratulate the Irish electors upon
the success—the deserved success—which has hitherto
' I attended all their constitutional efforts to relieve their
country from the Orange yoke, we beg to take the
liberty of reminding them that the great battle is
hardly -yet begun. While the House of Lords
remains unreformed, nothing but the dread inspired
by the presence of a superior power—of the con-
centrated determination of the whole nation to do
justice to itself, in the event of a refusal by their
Lordships—will extort from the Peers any measure for
placing Ireland on an equal footing with England and
Scotland. We advisedly assert this as a fact which no
party can or dare gainsay. It is deduced from, and
evidenced-by, the experience of centuries. The con-
centration of the power of the people of Ireland, be-
fore which the Peers will bow, must be purely moral.
It must result from a union of the whole Reform
body to accomplish by constitutional means a
constitutional object. There are many such ob-
jects
to be accomplished by the honest Refor-
mers ; but the first ought to be the utter prostration--
the annihilation—if possible, of Toryism in Ireland.
While there is a constituency in the kingdom repre-
sented by a Tory, the Irish Reformers ought not to
relax in those efforts which have enabled them to take
the lead of England and Scotland in the war of prin-
ciples which now agitates the whole of Western Europe.
Men of Ireland ! Most triumphantly have you ex-
posed the falsehood of the charges of base subserviency,
corruption, and political ignorance, preferred against
you by the hireling organs of the Tory faction. You
your duty. In the hour of have so far nobly done
danger you have rushed to the contest, with the enthu-
siasm of honest patriots, to rescue your QUEEN and
country from the clutches of the Tories. You hare
set an example to England instead of looking to her
for one. We cannot express in sufficiently strong
terms our admiration of the heroism you have evinced—
of the docility you have manifested, in attending to the
the counsels of your best friend, Mr. O'CONNELL—
and, above all, of the peaceable and orderly way
in which you have achieved so glorious a victory
over the Orange faction. Continue to go on thus, and
every step will be attended with a fresh triumph over
your enemies. Be united, be tirm, be zealous, and be
watchful : and whatever measure of Reform you de-
mand in the spirit of the Constitution must be conceded
to you by Parliament. In the mean time, we thank

;•ou—in the name of England and Scotland we thank

you—for asserting the independence of your native

Mr. HUME has already verified his prediction, the
" Tories shall not get rid of me," for he has just been
returned Member for Kilkenny. We are glad of this
for the loss of such a man would have been one of the
greatest blows that reform has yet sustained.

In another part of The Sun will be found some
account of a public dinner given to Sir RUFANE
DONKIN by the Liberal electors of Berwick, whom
a few Tory: hirelings have just managed to turn
out of the representation. The Gallant Officer
was most warmly received ; and one of his sup-
porters publicly stated—which indeed is well known
throughout the town—that he would have
succeeded in his eloction, had it not been that
many of those who wished well to him and had pro-
mised to vote for him, were bought off by the Tories.
We shall return to this matter in a day or two, for it
involves one of the most barefaced cases of corruption
that we ever heard of.

From the returns of Members already made, and the
probability, or rather certainty, what Scotland and Ire-
land will yet do, we may safely come to the conclusion
that the Tories will be in a much worse plight at the
commencement of this Parliament than they were even
when Sir ROBERT PEEL was at the head of the Go-
vernment, and was defeated on every measure he
brought forward. The question then is, what has been
the use of all the waste of money, the intimidation, and
other disgraceful schemes, to which the party have had
recourse in this great struggle for office ? And the an-
swer is, the use has been great—great both to the
Tories and the Liberals. The parties now know
decidedly their relative strength, and it is grati-
fying to the friends of reform to find that they will
come out of the contest so vastly superior. With
the exception of the mad act of their Orange Chief,
King ERNEST, there has been no particular cause
of excitement against the Tory candidates—nothing in
fact but their old bad character as anti-reformers: and
of that many tried to rid themselves by promising more
certain and more speedy measures of reform than any
a Whia-Radical government could accomplish. Against
the other party there have been the strongest exciting
causes. Every sort of abuse has been heaped
on them for two of the most useful measures
ever introduced into Parliament—the New Poor
Law, and the Bill for the better management of
Church Property; and what on the one hand with
the ignorance and prejudice of vast numbers, and
the interested motives of others, such as publicans,
shopkeepers, and tenants of Church property, not to
speak of the Clergy themselves, the present Govern-
ment have been placed in the most disadvantageous
position. Yet, with prejudices, self-interest, and
nearly all the weight of Lords'-Lieutenant and most
public officers arrayed against them, the result of the
elections is decidedly in their favour. They not only
have a majority of Members but what, in a moral point
of view, i 3 in the end of vastly more importance—they
have an overwhelming proportion of the wealth and
intelligence of the country in their favour. They have

the wealthy capitals of the three Kingdoms—!hey
have the West Riding of York—one of the most im-
portant counties in England—and containing nearly
a million of inhabitants--they have all the
Members for the towns in that county with the excep-
tion of two or three—they have two thirds of the
Scotch Members; they will have more than two-thirds
of the Irish; and, with the exception of Liverpool, they
have every large town in the United Kingdom ready
to support them. These are fearful numbers for a
Tory leader, even with 300 Members at his back, to
encounter. The fact that such a preponderance is
against him must hang like a dead-weight on Sir
ROBERT PEEL, and cheer on his opponents to make
one great effort, with the assistance of the Court, to
root out the abuses which still remain in the institu-
tions of the country.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday have
been received. Their contents are unimportant. The
official organs of the Government contain no dispatches
from Spain ; but three fabrications, purporting to have
been received by the Minister of the Interior, are
paraded in the columns of a contemptible Evening
print, totally unconnected with any Member of the
Cabinet. The only intelligence from the Spanish
capital announces the appointment of ESPARTERO to
the War Department, in the room of Count ALAIO-.
DOVAR, whose bad health compelled him to abandon
office. Brigadier-General O'CONNELL has set out
for Madrid, to complain of the authorities of San
Sebastian, for having appropriated 35,000 dollars,
sent by Mr. VILLIERS ill: the name of the Spanish
Government, for the sole use of the new British
Legion. We fear he will find it a hard job to make
a Spanish functionary disgorge plunder to which he
can lay the shadow of a plausibly just claim.
The Christino Governors of Alcaniz and Caspe, in
official reports of the 31st ult., state that Don CAR-
LOS intended to ra-cross the Ebro in the vicinity of
Mora. The Carlist Chief LLANGOSTERA reached
Orta on the 29th, at the bead of two battalions and
five pieces of artillery.

The only domestic news in the French Papers is
the announcement of the fact that there will be no dis-
solution of the Chambers this autumn. This will be
agreeable intelligence to the Deputies, who are not
over anxious to meet their constituents. Annexed are
extracts from the Journals :

The Phare de Bayonne says---" We learn that a cer-
tain number of Spaniards, residing at Bayonne, have re-
fused to take the oath without reserve to the Constitution
of 1837. It is essential not to mistake this conduct as an
indication of hostility to t'3e cause of Queen Isabella, it
arising merely from their df;sire to preserve the fueros of the
Biscay-an Provinces, whi,.l this Constitution would abo-
lish, unless they were pr•served, as the objectors desire, by
some special provisions. It is said that information of this
circumstance has been :tent to the Government at Madrid,
whose answer is impatient 4 expected."
TOULON, AUG. I..—Ricar-Adrniral Gallois, commanding
the Levant squadron, has arrived here. The greatest ac-
tivity is observed in our roads. We arc assured that th,s
squadron under Vice-Admiral Lalande, will accompany as
far as the Straits of Gibraltar the Hercules mac-of-war, on
board which the Prin te de Joinville will embark. Orders
have been given to pay to his Royal Highness all the ho-
nours due to his rank,

The road, which i,l. now crowded with vessels, will be
very animated on the 4th ; all the men of war will be de-
corated with flags ana streamers, and numerous salutes will
be fired.

The Fleche brig, Captain Paul, arrived here on the 30th
July from Barcelona. It brought dispatches from the Ma-
r;tirne Prefect, which were to be delivered immediately.
Barcelona was tranquil, when Lc Medic s
The steam-boat, witlb the mail from the north of Africa,

Sir Richard Lee, Admiral of the Blue, died at his
residence, Weimer, Kent, on Saturday last, aged 72.
Last week Mr. Kay of the Albion gave an elegant
white-bait and venison dinner to a party of theatrical friends,
at his new house, the Trafalgar Hotel, Greenwich.
It is related of Charles 11. that when at Salisbury a
man undertook to stand upon his head on the pinnacle of the
spire. Having accomplished this unheard of undertaking,
the•p3rilous adventurer appearbd before the Kiag expecting a
largess, when Charles, with infinite humour and sculy froid,
said he knew not how better to reward him than by giving him
a patent, so that ho might remain unrivalled.
On Wednesday evening last, a waterman, named
Blackmore, and his son, while coming up the river in a boat,
were run down by one of the Herne Bay:steamers, in Blackwell
reach. The man and his boy had a very narrow escape of
their lives; the steamer cut the boat in two, aml Blackmore
was much injured. He managed, however, to keep his son
and himself from sinking, until they were hauled into a boat
which put off to their aid. The steamer, after stopping for a
short time, on seeing the parties in safety, proceeded on her
voyage to London.

Very large meetings of the Teetotallers and Tempe-
rance Societies have been held in Anglesey and Carnarvon-
shire during the last fortnight. On Monday and Tuesday
they congregated in large numbers in Bangor ; and on Wed-
nesday and Thursday in Carnarron. Several ministers of the
Calvanistic Methodists and Dissenters and other individuals
addressed the multitudes. They were formed in procession,
and proceeded through the streets in admirable order. We
understand that in Bangor the line was wilfully broken, by
the Lord Bishop's carriage driving furiously through it ; and
the most insulting and indecent language was used to them
by the Bishop's servants. We should hope these things have
not the sanction of the Right Reverend Prclate.,Carnarvon
Herald.

No marine who shall enter the service after the
26th of June, 1837, shall be allowed a pension for length of
service, except with reference to the time of his service at
sea or on board; twenty-one years' service (reckoning from
the age of twenty) at sea, or on foreign service, shall en-
title him, as it does a seaman, to his discharge and pension,
and two years' service on shore in England shall be allowed
to reckon as one year served afloat for this purpose, but no
marine shall be entitled to such pension who shall not have
served ten years actually at sea, or on foreign service.
The first cost of a steam-ship of 1,000 tons, and
of machinery of 250 horse-power, well-appointed in every re-.
spect, is sa:d to be 30,0001. On an average, 250 tons of
coal will propel such a vessel 2,150 miles.
Thieves sometimes catch themselves, as the follow-
ing incident will show :—A gentleman living not very far from
me, had his orchard repeatedly robbed, and, bidding defiance
to prohibitory acts, had an old man-trap repaired, and set up
in his orchard. The smith brought it home, and there was a
consultation as to which tree it should be placed under ; se-
veral were proposed, as being all favourite bearers, at last
the smith's suggestion as to the locus quo was adopted, and
the man-trap set. But the position some how or other did
not please the master, and as tastes occasionally vary, so did
his, and he bethought him of another tree, the fruit of which
he should like above all things to preserve. Accordingly,
scarcely had he laid his head upon his pillow, when the change
W3l determined on, and ere long the man-trap was transferred.
Very early in the morning the cries of a sufferer brought mas-
ter and men into the orchard, and there they discovered—the
sunlit.-131ackwood's Magazine.
The hay harvest is nearly finished, and more abun-
dant crops were perhaps never before witnessed. The coin
crops are rapidly ripening, and with ten days more of tine
weather the greater part of the wheat, barley, and oats grown
in this neighbourhood, and fdr thirty miles round it, will be
put under the operation of the sickle. Potatoes also are more
than usually healthy, and promise a heavy crop in all quarters.

SPAIN.

MADRID, JULY 29.—The Funds improved to-day from
22} to 221, a proof that the new expedition of Gucrque
does not cause much uneasiness here. Doti)• is arc enter-
tained as to the ultimate object of the nea adventurer:
Some suppose that he is about to visit t 44 = provinces of
Burgos, Valladolid, and Segovia ; but h: a %most probable
destination is Don Carlos's head-qudrte• rs iThermr they
may be.

(From the Patriot of July 29.)
The Political Chief Commandant-Geu ?oral of Barcelona
communicates, that according to trustwort b y information, it
appears that the garrison of Prats de Li as ancs, reinforced
by two hundred light troops, has been ttlat ked by the Car-
lists. After a few discharges, they ope.net l a breach suffi-
ciently large to admit of 500 men passing abreast. The
besieged allowed them to enter the first lin. and then at-
tacking them with a close fire, followed by a. charge with the
bayonet, killed seventy, and drove the remit finder from the
first intrenchmcnts ; the second attack was no less terrible
and sanguinary for the Carlists, as fifty bed in it. Gen,
Baron de Meer, with 5,000 infantry ar Al 200 horse, left
Manresa, where he left nearly the who le of the convoy,
taking with him only a part, with the de ierTnination of at-
tacking the bulk of the Catalonian fac lion and two Na-
varrese battalions, who had establish rd themselves on
Mount Berga. On reaching the vicil ii ty of Otmer and
Santa Euphemia, he encountered the Ca,-lists, resolved to
dispute his passage. A heavy fire was a -nmediately com-
menced on both sides.
Our troops, gaining the ground inch 103 inch, at length
dislodged the rebels from their positions, It ‘aving them co-
vered with dead bodies as far as the vicinity of Prades. A
Navarre battalion made an obstinate resista.ice, and one of
ours routed it, charging with ti, bayonet. Th, faction of Zo-
charge, which almost destroyed it, .like that' of Ros in the
rilla, the best disciplined of those it; Catalonia, suffered a ter-
ribleplains of Gra. The heroic tov,n
of L:nsaues was freed,
and its heroic defenders had leisure to oct:i ay themselves
in restoring the fortifications, and throwing
uplvorkr.

ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND, JULY 18--The Galatea,
from Cadiz, called off this port to-day, and proceeded. On
the 26th ult., long. 28, she was boarded by a piratical
brigantine, and plundered of all her spare sails, canvas, cord-
age, blocks, ensigns, and many small articles, desks, watches,
money, nautical books and instruments. The piratical vessel
was low, a fast sailer, and apparently American built, of about
180 tons, coppered to the bends, painted black, with a female
figure head ; mounted 12 carronades, and showed about 30
nl.-:n, and displayed a Spanish ensign with a skull and cross-
bows. During the time the plunder was gOillg, on, the master,
mite, and two seamen were confined in the forecastle. The
crew were very roughly treated. From one of the pirates,
who spoke a little English, it was understood they were from
Vera Cruz, and bound to the coast of Africa for slaves.
