TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

beg to suggest to the friends of a Constitu-
tional Reform the adoption of a tri-coloured Anti-Revolu-
tionary ribbon, composed of the English and Scotch
blue, and the Irish green and orange colours, which would
he a distinguishing badge for the supporters of the present
Administration in their endeavonrs to accomplish this de-
sirable object. STANIFORDIAN.

After all, it appears nearly, if not quite cer-
tain that the Asiatic cholera is not, and has not been, at
Sunderland. We know not whether those by whom the
nation has been unnecesary alarmed have acted from igno-
rance or design, but this we do know, that in either case
their conduct is highly reprehensible and disgraceful. But
the alarm which has been excited by the persona alluded
to is, comparatively speaking, of little consequence. The
mischief which they have done to the commerce of the
country is incalculable. The ports in the Mediterranean,
and in other parts of the world, will be shut against us,
and thus the manufacturers will be thrown out of employ
at the very season of the year when they stand most in
need of it. There can be little or no doubt that many of
the alarming reports have been propagated by interested
persons, by speculators in coals, or gamblers in the drug
game._—Morning Herald.

Extract from a private letter from Hamburg,
Nov. 4 :—‘4 As regards the cholera, it appears that you in
England entertain very strange ideas about it, exaggerated
a thousand fold. This day completes the fourth week
since it appeared in this city; and according to the most
accurate calculation there have been about 700 persons at-
tacked, of whom 360 have died ; the remainder having
recovered, or being still under treatment. Our population
is 120,000. My family are, thank God, all well ; and I
have not yet heard of one of my numerous acquaintances
having died of the disease. Debauchees, drunkards, and
those indulging in excesses are the persons who have suf-
fered. Attention to diet and the prevention of cold are
the essential points. Wear flannel, live temperate, and
make your mind easy, and there is really very little danger.
The greatest absurdity seems to be your attempting to
keep it out by means of cordons or quarantine regulations."
The accounts received from Quebec state that
about 50,000 emigrants have arrived this season in that
port. We understand, however, that the number of emi-
grants actually arrived in Canada this year probably ex-
ceeds 65,000. It is customary to count two children as
one ; and it is well known that a number of ships laden
with emigrants have not reported at Quebec, but gone on
to Montreal. The great influx of emigrants into the
colony has caused a great advance in the value of land,
particularly in Upper Canada. A gentleman, recently re-
turned from this province, states that one-third of an acre
of land in York was sold for building on, a few months
ago, for 10,000 dollars. It is astonishing for how small
a sum of money a man may transport himself and family to
Upper Canada. The traveller alluded to states that he
met in this province an Irishman from Belfast : this man
said that the who'e expense of carrying him-elf, wife, and
four small children, from Belfast to Kingston, was under
151- The same number of emigrants sent out by Go-
vernment would have cost about 691.
We understand that a medal is to be struck
in commemoration of ultra and radical alliance. One side
is to contain the heads of Sir CHARLES WETHERELL and
Mr. HUNT, and the other the allegorical figures of Oli-
garchy and Anarchy, at a game of see-saw, as typical of
the alternate ascendancy they afford to each other. This
design has thus far received the approbation of the Charles-
street conclave, but it waits their determination as to the
position of the heads. Some are for placing them like
those on the coins of WILLIAM and MARY 11., that is, as
Mr. HUNT Would say, Cheek by Jowl. Others prefer the
we d tete, or billing reciprocation so pleasantly alluded to
in lludibras as decorating the coinage of the first MARY
and her sulky spouse, PHILIP 11. of Spain :
" Ever amorous' fond, and billing,
Like Philip and Mary on a shilling."
The Orange and Irish portion of the conference are for the
WILLIAM and Mary plan; the d —or..s
ABERDEEN
and
STRANGFoRD, and other friends of Don MIGUEL, for that
of PHILIP and MARY, in which amiable and august per-
sonages they fondly trace some semblance to their Lusita-
nian favourite,—an governed are men by their habitual
associations. The medals, when completed, are to be
suspended from the neck by ribands, with bows of orange
and tri-colour. It is further stated that Mr. HUNT will
attend the next ball at ALMACK'S.—Morning Paper.

DISTURBANCE AT THE NATIONAL
SCOTLI: CHURCH, RFIGENT,SQUARE.-After the Rev.
EDWARD IRVING had concluded a sermon last Sunday
evening,---subject, " Try the spirit"—a man, named E.
CARDALE, addressed the vast congregation in the unknown
tongue, and after in the vulgar tongue, entreating sinners
to come to Goo, and warning them of the coming of
CHRIST to judgment. A person in the gallery called out,
‘ took
many hissed, and a strange disturbance
cannot be described. A variety of per-
sParhernY'ricaded the doors on both sides of the gallery.

and calling upon Mr. IRVING to discuss the subject with
them, which he declined. During all this disorder, the
Reverend Gentleman commenced his prayer, that the tu-
mult of the people might be stayed. Previous to the im-
mense mass leaving the chapel, he stated, that in conse-
quence of what had taken piece, he should for the future.
Sabbaths desist from preaching on the subject of " The
Gift of the Tongues," and the gift should not be allowed
to be exercised in the usual morning and evening service.

LrrINE FERATID.

The Gnat was occupied the greater part of the morning
with arguments in this case, which w s an appeal from the
decision of his Honour the Ma, ter of the R)11s. The case
was one of nl importance except to the parties, the ques-
tion turning upon the construction of the will of a Mr.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

Considering what the crisis demands, and what

are the means of reviving public confidence, which
the minds of most men specifically point at, it seems

us to be miserable triflinv in some who call them-

selves the " friends of Ministers," to hold out

milk-and-water hopes of individual conversions
among the Peers, or of a becoming abstinence front
temporal debates on the part of my Lords the
Bishops. In answer to these speculative optimists,
let us ask, what Peers hare sent in written promises
to Lord Grey that they will, on this occasion, sup-
port a Bill " not less efficient," for the overthrow

•. _
of corruption, than that which they have recently
rejec'ed ? What Bishops hare pledged themselves
or their brethren, that they will not vote at all, or
that they will not vote against the Bill, which Lord
Grey stands pledged to bring again, in spirit and
principle unimpaired, before Parliament ? What
solid Erounda of stow calculation can have been

opened for Ministers, as an encouragement to them
to proceed with a measure, which cuts away Tory
ascendancy by wholesale, while it is notorious
that these very Tories are too strong for the
Government in one House of the Legislature, and

are at this moment laughing at the credulity which
expects from them a more popular conduct, %%lien
the same selfish interests by which that conduct has
hitherto been directed remain altogether unchanged ?
Is it from remorse that an amendment of the Peers'

majority is looked for ? That cannot be; for the
recusant Lords, both lay and spiritual, appealed to
their consciences in justification of their votes : and
since many of them very firmly believe that a man
must be a fool who obeys any conscience but his
worldly interest, he must assuredly be the most
arrant of all fools who can suspect their Lordship
of repentance. But when the Lords find that the
country is against them, " they will be ashamed to
persist in their declarations of enmity to Reform."
Who ever yet saw a faction blush for ita offences ?
Why, even a gang of pickpockets, if there be half
a dozen of them together, will outstare and out-,
nrazen a whole court full of lawyers. Culprits of
every d. scription keep each other in countenance:
This is founded on the tacit sense of interest, a cer,

ain point of honour in most brotherhoods, which
bounds the patriotic horizon of their members, and
makes each man feel that he has no " country,
home, dr friends," hut in his clique. But there
are other consuhrivionswhureby the borou,:h Lords

pay now be confirmed in their ob,tinacy.
They have demagogues with them one!)1n, and
their obscene rabble, the incendiaries id Br.stol and
Nottingham—the bludgeon-men of White ConduA,!
Frouse—end the rioters of Warwick. Of comae no

man of decency,—of course no man of truth, or
common sense, or rear(' for reputation,—would
de.cend to an argument drawn from the criminal
Autrages of such desperadoes against the unanimity
of the pcopfr of England in favour of Parbamenta:y
Reform. Yet the mi-repre.entation, vile though it
oe, has been made and lea-oned on. We ale asked
by men in Tory garh—" Whit ! is this your
unanimity ? Is Euglatid unanirrn-wus for a RV,
it which so many thousands of the people ate
enough provoked to perpetrate the most ferocious
:aid destructive c'imes, because it does not 0"
them univer-al suffrage or annual Parliamen:., of
an immediate abolition of taxes,—an overthrow o:
the Church,—an extinction of rank,—and a general
dispersion of property in land and money I" Ye,,
it is charged upon the Ref.amirs of tie empire, Via
under the name of Reform they seek nothing hut
the most frightful excesses of revolutionary anarchy

and de•trucrion. Fare, we admit, and know it
is—calumnious and detestable; bur it furtiishei a

pretence for opposing " the 13'11," aod acts as lyrd-
lime to prolong the cohesion of the Torie=. Again, am
falsehood loves inconsit,tency,the King's Mini-tern are
actually charged with encouraging the mob to such
confusion, for the sake of carrying the Bill, though
at the same moment the presence or approach of
anarchy is used as a cloak for rejecting it ! How-
ever, the important point is this. If the Ministers
have enough of King William's esteem to enable
them to make a number of liberal Peers, and if they
have the courage and virtue so to employ the Ro•aE
confidence, ler them, without the lapse of twenty,
four hours, declare their ability and resolution, and

even before a single Peer's na►ne shall be in the
Gazette, the confidence of the whole people of Eng.;
land is once more fully reposed in Lord Grey and
in his colleagues. It is dreadful, if the Ministers

be not themselves discouraged—it is, we say, dread-
ful that the nation should be kept gratuitously in
this mournful and distracting doubt. Let then, the
Noble Lords bring matters to anoint at once. Should
the opposition to decisive measures rest with a great
personage, let the merit,—if it be a merit (and if
not, his Majesty will soon be made aware of it),—let
the merit of a refusal to carry Reform through the
House of Peers lie upon the proper shoulders. The
Ministry owe this to their own honour as patriots and
statesmen; but, at all events, let the English nation
be relieved from pain which has become intolerable.
Rouse then, my Lords ! rouse, aand as-ist yourselves.
Break the spell which seems to have hung like a
night-mare over your party. Give us liberty : and
the gift of Lord Grey will be a monument to his
memory, immortal as the British nation. Let not
the Tories make a second Catholic Relief Bill of
Reform. That Reform must pass, is well known
to the real chiefs of the Tory party. That no man
can be for six months Minister of this country who
resists the passing of such a measure, is equally
well known to them. Why, then, do they oppose
the Bill ? Because they feel that whoever ca ries it
through Parliament may, if he pleases, enjoy a long
tenure of office, and because they would be very ready
to transfer such a prospect from the Whigs to them-
selves, and to their faction—that is their game.
They will, if they can, upset the present Cabinet,
reform the Parliament, and remain another fifty
years in power. If they were the best patty that
ever sprung up in England, we should say that they
had ruled it by far too long, and had become too
powerful for a constitutional Monarchy. We there-
fore speak honestly, as well as kindly, in warning
Lord Grey's Cabinet (a: Sheridan did before) not
to knock its oan brains out i,gainst another wall of
its own building. Make Peers, Lord Grey, and
prove the King's confidence in you ; or resign to-
morrow, and prove at least that you have not been
the fabricator of your own bad fortune. Tie nation
then will know what part to tak,,.—Times.
The people of England are combining and uniting
in the true spirit of English freedom for the purpose
of securing, by one great effort, their long-lost
rights and privileges; and the boroughmongers,
feeling that the ground is daily giving way under
them, and that they are on the point of letting go
their hold of the public purse, are struggling as men
would struggle for their lives, to put off to the
latest moment their fatal doom. So be it. Let
them struggle, and struggle, and struggle, it bile they
have life and power in them, against the declined
wishes of the Sovereign Irid people of England,—
whilst they struggle fairly and openly; but we must
protest against their base attempts to enli t she
courtiers and she ambassadors on their side—
we must protest against the infamous means to
which they have lately had recourse, in order
to prejudice the mind of the Sovereign against
a loyal and confiding people—we must protest
against their misrepresentations of all kinds; or,
if they will not desist, we must denounce
them to the scorn and hatred of the country, as not
less the enemies of the King than the slanderers
and vilifiers of the King's Government, and of the
people of England. After Having failed ill their
attacks upon the Reformers—after having been
foiled at every weapon with which they challenged
us to a contest with them—after having raised the
cry of re-actien, and seen that cry put down by the
unanimous declaration of the people of England
that there is no re-action, and that they toil have
the Reform Bill, and nothing, less titan the Bill—
they have again changed their tactics; and on what
point have they now determined on resting the suc-
cess of their v le attempts ? Why, on the ardent
desire of the people to keep the King's peace—

t o put down violence--to oppose legal to illegal
power—and at all hazards, to protect the per-
sons and property of his Majesty's subject,
from the 'ruffian violence of those who, having no
more 'principle than property to lose, world gladly
avail. themselves of any opportunity of injuring the
ore, and seizing the other. Every one knows, and
Therefore it is merely necessary to allude to the cir-
cumstance, the alacrity with which, yesterday week, ,
all classes of his Majesty's subjects came forward, to
ensure the public safety against a band of miguided
men, whose intended meeting, had it been allowed
to take place, must have seriously compromised an
peace of the metropolis ; yet, strange as it must
appear, this very alacrity has been misrepresented,
and an attempt made to poison the King's ear with
the idea that his people already acknowledge no
government but their own, and if they be eh.
lewed to form themselves into a National Guard,
as they have already formed themselves into
peaceful Unions for the promotion of consti-
tutional objects, the power and prerogatives of
the throne will be at an end ! The malignant vili-
fiers! how dare they misrepresent the people of Eng-
land after this manner ? How dare they insult his
Majesty by attempting to palm upon hint such no-
torious falsehoods ? How dare they imagine thai
they can terrify our stout-hearted riflonarellinne the
adoption of measures which would indeed compro.
arise the safety of the throne, by inventing dangers
which exist nor, and feigning evil results of Maid
there is no prospect The people of Eegarart have
always been a loyal people : and, with the exception
of the Aeti-Reformers and the ignorant few who
have been misled and imposed upon by their itine-
rant agents, they are loyal now, even to a man. Let
the Tories beware, however, of what they are about
A National Guard, sanctioned by the authority, and
commended by the officers of the King, may he an
evil U 1 them, inasmuch as its establishment would
put an end to all their Mechiavelian machinations
for disturbing the King's peace, and retarding the
progress of the Reform Bill—but it is neither the
worst evil that could befal them, nor the worst evil
that would befal them, were they to persevere in
their wicked attempts to mislead the King, and to
misrepresent his people.—ellening Advertigcr.
A meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of Sr.
James, numerously and respectably attended, was
held yesterday, at the Circus, in Great Windmill-
istreet. The meeting, was culled by Mr. Barber
Beaumont, for the formation of a Loyal and Pa-
triotic Association. The resolutions which Mr.
Beaumont appended to his circular, and which ap-
peared in the Chronicle some days ago, were sub-
mitted in an altered shape to the meeting. The
declaration against universal suffrage was, we think
properly omitted, because Reformers of all shades of
opinion having once agreed to the Refmm Bill as e
compromise, it is, to say the least of it, injudicious
to provoke controversy on the subject of what indi-
viduals may deem abstrac'edly the best Reform.—
At this meeting, as everywhere else, the prevail-
ing opinion was, that the time is now come for
putting an end to the apprehensions of the nation
with regard to the Bill. It is taken for granted,
that a House of Peers comprised only of the Mem
hers by which the late Bill was rejected woule
infallibly reject another Bill equally efficient, and
what the people wish to know is the manner ii
ss hich the difficulty is to be overcome. Ministers
are not entitled to say, dismiss all apprehension
from your minds, our :actions hitherto have en
titled us to your confidence, and when we say
that we would not remain in office if we had
not a reasonable assurance of our ability to carry
the Bill, you are unreasonable in :Aims us on what
our expectations are founded. They are not entitle:
to hold this language, because, from the very prin-
ciple: of our nature, it is impossible that, in a matter
of such magnitude as a question involving the peace
and prosperity of the nation, the people can forget
the magnitude of the interests which they have at
stake, and abandon themselves to the guidance of
any Cabinet whatever, without apprehension. Men
must be as stupid as the brute animals, after what
has taken place in this country, to be without appre-
hension as to the conduct of any dozen of men, how-
ever estimable, by which the fate of themselves and
their children may be determined. But farther, the
very uneasiness of the public—an uneasiness which
as rational beings, men cannot dismiss from their
minds—has a necessary tendency to defeat the object
which Ministers have at heart It prairies credit
and confidence, throws numbers of workmen out of
employment, and involves all classes in embarrass-
ment and distress. An unemployed and suffering
population furnish ready materials to the demagogue
and the incendiary, and the oligarchy derive fresh
courage from the apprehensions which the different
classes of society entertain of each other. The states-
men, indeed, must be little less than insane, who can
hazard the consequences which uncertainty, if conti-
nuer much longer, can hardly fail to produce. We say
then, that if Ministers have made up their minds
as to the mode in which the Reform Bill is to
be carried, and can count with certainty on the effi-
cacy of such means, it is net enough that they pos-
sess this knowledge themselves, they ought at once
to dispel the uneasiness of the public. It would
be no justification of their conduct, if the public im-
patience should produce mischievous results, were
they to say, if you had allowed us to proceed in
peace, we should have been successful, but your im-
patience has discomposed our plans ; because no
plans ought to be formed, in which due allowance
is not made for that impatience. A nation of twenty-
bre millions cannot remain passive for months. A
tranquillising declaration of some sort from Ministers
would inspire the people with hope, revive confi-
dence and commercial activity, and thereby obtain
for them increased means of carrying the measure.
If Ministers possess the power of carrying the
measure, to keep hack their knowledge from the
parties most deeply interested, the productive classes,
would either be puerile fastidiousness, or disregard
of the welfare of the nation. If they do not possess
the means—which most persons now believe to
be the case—they ought not to allow the people to
remain in ig orance with regard to their true pc-
sitioe, that if Ministers cannot assist them, they may
not be deprived of the means ofas.isting themselves.
It is not enough that Ministers do not concur in any
attempts against the liberties of the nation ; they
ought not to lead the nation blindfold to its ruin—
they ought not to deliver it up, bound neck and
heel, at the moment perhaps when it is most con-
venient for the adversary to strike, and least possible
for it to ward off the blow. At the meeting yester-
day, two modes of carrying the Bill were alluded
to—one, the often-agitated one of creating new
Peers—the other, the remodelling the House of
Commons by the exercise of the prerogative. If
Ministers cannot have recourse to either of these
means, for a certainty Reform will not be obtained
without a struggle. It is no trifling matter to
Compel a nation to draw the sword. But grievous
as the consequences of a revolution would be, we
hold them to be as nothing compared to the cala-
mity of the triumph of the boroughniongers, who
would not consider themselves secure in their usur-
pation till they had trampled on all the remaining
liberties of the nation, and destroyed the means of
future resistance to their tyranny. The attempt of
this insolent oligarchy, even if at first attended with
success, would soon produce a terrible re-action,
because their sense of insecurity would lead them to
measures which would drive the people to despair,
and compel a terrible retribution. There can be
no hope of peace but in the defeat of the oligarchy.
Two hundred families in a nation are nothing.
The gallant Nobility of France, naen of ancient
lineage, connected with the 7 country and with
Europe by numberless historical recollections, and
not, like the most of our boroughmongers, men
of yesterday, the descendants of Dutch and Ger-
man Jews, stock jobbers, East and West India
traders, slave-dealers, &c., were swept from their
country without their place having been even missed.
The forty thousand emigrant Nobles who advanced
