and of civil liberty connected with it in immnen a
urgent risk of 'being-lost to the present and all future
aenerations of Englishmen, have we not included all in
t'that one sentence, save that those weak or unprinci-
pled men who have obtruded themselves on the King's
presence and usurped his prerogatives are themselves
the incorrigible fabricators of every mischief which
threatens to destroy us ? Nor are the details of those
measures which constitute what may be termed the
items of the Whig-Radical account-current with the
country, capable of being exhibited under any aspect
but that which they have long since borne to every
discerning eye. The Ministers, and their revolutionary
patrons, choose for themselves the collective name of
Reformers—a droll epithet, all things duly considered.
What is a Reformer ? In common parlance, lie who
would redress grievances, or correct abuses. That, at
least, is the light in which Sir R. Peel, and the Con-
servatives of the present day and the patriots of every
former age, have understood the word " Reformer.
By solemn pledges in the face of tire country, and by
an earnest endeavour to fulfil such pledges while in
office—endeavours which were frustrated no otherwise
than by the stubborn selfishness and malignity of an
adverse faction—the Conservatives, with Sir Robert
Peel for their chief and guide, did vindicate their just
claim to the title of " Constitutional Reformers." But
on what do the multiform tribes and sects of Whigs,
Radicals, and Papists found their pretension to the
title ? In what one mode of practical reform do they
all concur, or will they all co-operate ? Just let us
test these allies. Do they call the same measures
by the same name of Reform ? No—universal suf-
frage is reform to a democratic Radical7--not so to a
Whig. The ballot is " Reform" to a Radical—
not .so to a Whig. An elective House of Lords is
Reform" to a Radical—not yet so, at least to a
Whig. A Popish establishment in Ireland, and no
establishment at all in England or Scotland, to the
eyes respectively of Irish Papists, and of certain sedi-
tious demagogues in this country who call themselves
religious Dissenters, assume the semblance of " re-
" forms," but are ostensibly repudiated by the Whigs.
What then, we ask once more, is the common bond,
feeling, or project, which has put it in these men's
heads to give .each other the same nickname, when
there is really no more concord among them than there
was harmony between the most dissonant tongues of
Babel? Why, reader, there is one key, though we
defy the most ingenious man living, uninstructed by
positive experience, to discover it. The definition,
then, of a Reformer, by the authorities of Downing-
street and Derrynane, is one who will pledge himself
to oppose, under all possible circumstances, and with-
out asking further questions, any and every reform
recommended by Sir Robert Peel ! Such is the sort
of animal—a species to describe which no pen since
that of Swift would venture—the sort of animal that
now-a-days cIW asses itself as a Reformer. At the
Cornwall, the West Somerset, and the Bradford meet-
ings, Lord Eliot and Messrs. Escott and Hardy pre-
sented views, of the political crisis which all honestdEng-
lishmen will zealously circulate and support.—Tinzes.
We yesterday published a report of the proceedings
of the General Association of Ireland, but had not
space to refer as we wished to have done to the speech
of Mr. O'Connell, in which the Honourable Member
exposes the apostacy, treachery, and reckless incendia-
rism of the noble leader of the House of Lords, as
well as the folly of another party on the opposite side,
whose conduct, however intended, is precisely in ac-
cordance with the wishes of those whom they profess to
oppose. Complaints have been made by a party that
would have itself considered as the extreme liberal,
' that the measures of Reform proposed by the Govern-
ment in the last session were not of a sufficiently ex-
tensive character ; and this is alleged as a reason why
public support and confidence should be withdrawn
from the Melbourne Ministry. Having, on the intro-
duction and during the discussion of these measures, as
well as on many other occasions, protested in the
strongest manner against undue concessions to the Tory
faction—and having, when occasion required, in the
language of remonstrance, amounting to reproof, ad-
dressed Ministers on the injustice and impolicy of at-
tempting to gain the concurrence of faction by any pro-
pitiatory sacrifice of the people's rights, we have no ap-
prehension that our motives will be impugned when
we assert, which we now do in the depths of our con-
viction, that at the present moment for any portion or
party of the people to withdraw from the support of
the Ministry, will have a most injurious effect on the
progress of Reform. It will be to hazard either the
ascendancy of despotism on the one hand, or a violent
convulsion on the other. These are the Scylla and
Charybdis between which Ministers are called upon to
steer the vessel of the State, and it behoves every good
citizen to assist them to the utmost in accomplishing
their task. We claim not for Ministers, neither would
we place in any body of men unbounded confidence,
nor an unlimited controul over the course which the
nation must pursue in its progress to enfranchisement ;
of this, public opinion is the only safe guide ; but we
say it is worse than impolitic—it is criminal—to en-
deavour to sow dissension amongst Reformers, when
the combined exertion of all honest men is so essen-
tial to the defeat of the eon lined enemy. Ministers
were unable to carry the reforms which they pro-
posed last Session ; and with a dignity worthy of him-
self and the position which lie occupies, the Noble
Premier, on the part of his colleagues, refused to be.
the medium of sending back to the House of Com-
mons the mutilated Bills returned by the Lords. He
justly felt that it would be an insult and outrage on
public opinion to have done so, and accordingly dis-
dained it. Parliament was prorogued, and the nation
was left to reflect calmly on the wrongs which the
Lords perpetrated against it ; and now comes the ques-
tion, have the people responded as they ought to have
done to the appeal tacitly, but obviously, made to them
by Ministers ? Have they shown themselves ready to
repel the insult, and redress the wrongs, which the
Peers have inflicted on themselves, their representa-
tives, and the Ministers of their own choice. What
expression of indignation has been given by the osten-
tatiously liberal party, who now so untimely complain
of the conduct of Ministers-? The people have been
apathetic to so shameless a degree, that the Lords
and their party pretend to believe that their conduct is
approved by the majority of the nation. and the in-
finitely and eternally true Liberals,. instead of directing
their hostility against their avowed, their vaunting, and
insulting enemies, make a parade of their principles
by attacking their friends—those who are ready to
advance as far as the country shows itself prepared to
support them. The apathy of the people is the re-
suit of unusual prosperity and confidence in the
Government; but the conduct of the extrem e sec-
tion is dictated by a variety of motives. Many of
that section,
others whose

and patriotic character ; but there are

this pretence receives a colouring of plausibility from
the conduct of those who, by attacking Ministers,
weaken the force of the public manifestation. The
ardent desire evinced by the Tories to place this party
in the most prominent position, is a convincing proof
of the effect its proceedings are calculated to produce.

( From the New London Price Current of Dec. 6.)
SUGAR.-The imparters have again submitted to reduced
prices for Wcst India; the decline continues to be principally
on the brown and low yelluw qualities : there is still no im-
provement in the demand, although the decline which has
taken place since Tuesday last has amounted to Is. 6d. a 25.,
and the business done has been extremely moderate, the pur-
chases not amounting to more than 1,400 hhds. and trs. for
the week, and confined chiefly to the grocery descriptions ; the
refiners and the grocers both only take just sufficient to supply
their immediate wants ; there has been only one arrival ; the
average Gazette price is now 2s. less than it was last year ; in
the weekly deliveries there has been a further falling off during
the last week of 720 hhds. and trs., making the quantity deli-
vered less this year than last 25,000 blids. and trs. ; from the
highest point of the Market the fall in the prices has been 9s.
a 135., the greater decline has been in the low brown qualities.
The stock of West India Sugar is now 35,083 hhds. and
trs., being 6,029 more than last year. The stock of Mauritius
is now 27,369 bags, which is 16,445 less than last year, (in-
cluding the East India Dock.) The delivery of West India
last week was 1,715 hhds. and trs., which is 721 less than last
year. The delivery of Mauritius was 3,041 bags, being 721
less than the corresponding week of last year (including the
East India Dock.
This afternoon there is still great langour in the British
Plantation market, both the grocers and refiners purchasing
with the greatest caution ; and ll l hhds. Barbadoes offered
at public sale went off heavily, only a part with difficulty finding
buyers at a reduction on the former sale of ls. a ls. 6d., the
greater decline on the best lots, mid. and fine selling at 635.
6d. a 675. ; the business done privately in the Market has been
at a reduction of 6d., and the purchases, including the public
sale, do not exceed 300 hhds. and trs.
In the Refined Sugar trade the business done either for the
consumption of the country or for shipping has been very tri-
vial, and although the supply of goods at Market is small, still
the refiners have submitted to a decline on last week's rates of
Is. a 35., the greater reduction has been on the ord. descrip-
tions ; small sales of fine Crushed made at 375. short price,
Lumps entitled to the double bounty at 785., and good grocery
rather under the standard at 775. ; for Treacle there has been
very little demand, and prices are not so good as they were last
week ; Bastards heavy of sale at the reduced quotations. Dutch
Crushed Sugar is offered at 355., but without meeting with
buyers.
This afternoon the business doing was on a very moderate
scale at 775. 6d. for Lumps to pass the standard, and 365. 6d.
a 375. for double Crushed. For a parcel of Dutch Crushed
345. 6d. has been accepted.
MAURITIUS.-No public sales have been attempted, and the
request by;private contract has been confined to trifling parcels,
and principally for the good yellow descriptions, for which a
reduction on last week's rates of Is. has been accepted ;
brown qualities are very difficult of sale ; no parcels are ad-
vertised for auction.
A vessel has arrived off the coast with a cargo of 6,000
bags of the new crop, being much earlier than has been the
case for some years past; another has arrived at the Cape of
Good Hope.
EAST INDIA.-In Manilla, Siam, and Java, there has been
but little done, and the prices remain the same as last week ;
in Bengal the business done either for consumption or ship-
ping has been on a very limited scale, and at rather lower
prices : at auction 380 bags were taken in very cheap, mid
white at 31s. a 31s. 6d.
FORRIGN.-Prices do not give way, although there is still
no demand for either white Havannah or Brazil, and the busi-
ness done in yellow of the former has been confined to only
160 boxes at 295. for good mid. ; at auction 290 boxes of
Cuba were all taken in at stiff prices, good yellow at 295. 6d.,
and damaged brown and yellow at 255. a 275.
MOLASSES.-Demerara at 245. for mid., and 255. for fair
St. Kitt's.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND& -The transactions in the
Rum Market, owing to the short supply, particularly of Ja-
maica, continue to be limited ; the prices of last week remain
firm, and the business done consists of 150 puns. Leewards at
2s. 7d. for proofs, 7 over, 2s. 9d., 38 to 40 over, 4s. Bd. ;
29 puns. Jamaica, 51 to 32 per cent. over, at 4s. ed. ; 85
casks Bengal at auction were taken in at 2s. Bd. a 2s. 91d.
for proof to 12 over. Brandy continues to meet with a good
sale. Geneva has undergone no change in value, but the ex-
tent of business done has been limited. In Corn Spirits con-
tiderable transactions have taken place at quoted prices.
This afternoon there are buyers of Rum at former rates, but
there being only two or three parcels in first hank unsold,
and very few Leewards, little business has bsen done.
COTTON.-There has been rather more demand at prices
similar to those which have been obtained of late, but the
market on the whole is still far from brisk. The private
purchases have been of Surat 600 bales at 4d. a 6d. ; 300
Bengal, 4id. a 51d., and 20 Madras 6d.
Peovisioes.-Dutch Butter, at 100 s. to 102 s. for Friez.
land, and 945. to 100 s. for other descriptions. Lard at 765.
a 78s. for Waterford.
thes.-The transactions in the market for all descriptions
of Fish Oils have been to a very moderate extent, and with
the exception of Cod which remains at 501., the prices of all
other descriptions have given way : small sales of Pale Seal
made at 561. 10s., and Southern 451. a 4S/. ; Linseed Oil is
heavy of sale, and the price has given way to 375. 6d. Rape
sells slowly and prices have declined-pale is now 50s. and
brown 48s. 6d. The arrivals of Sced have been heavy.
TURPENTINE.-For a parcel- of Rough 19s. 6d. has been
paid. Spirits maintain late prices, and are in steady request.
TALLOW.-The market continues in a dull state, which in
a great degree may be attributed to the scarcity of cash, and
prices have again given way ; for delivery there has been no-
thing doing, and the price nominally for the spring months is
435. ; for parcels on the spot for consumption the request has
been extremely limited, and the prices has declined to 435.
SPICES.-Pimento is not cheaper, although there continues
to be little business doing, 314 bags at public sale were only
partly sold at 3Rd. a 31d. for ordinary and good middling
quality. The reduced offers made for Pepper by the buyers
having been refused has caused the transactions to be trivial.
Cassia Lignea has sold steadily at quotations. In Cinnamon
nothing has been done. Cloves and Mace temain quiet, but
are not cheaper. The limited business done in Nutmegs for
consumption has been at rather lower prices. The East and
West India Ginger Market remains in a dull state, and 40 bags
Malabar at auction were bought in at 30s. a 31s. for ord.
COFFEE.-Jamaica low mid. at 935. a 945., good and fine
ord. 745. 6d. a 90s. 6d., Demerara low mid. and mid. 89s. a
925. 6d., good ord. but unclean 745. Sales of good ord.
Ceylon made at 455., ord. Sumatra 355., fair 375., and fine
Semarang 425. a 435. ; in Mocha more business has been done
at auction' sold at 735. 6d. for mid. green. Haanna 41s. a
505., the sound was bought in, good and fine ord. at 465. 6d.
a 545. 6d. This afternoon Brazil continues to be in good re-
quest at 475. for good ord. ; Ceylon is held firmly at 71s. a
725. for good ord.
SALTPETRE.--For Rough there has been rather more de-
mand at prices fully equal to those obtained at the early part of
last week. At Auction 1,750 bags Calcutta were all disposed
of at 255. a 265. 6d. for refraction 5 a 12+. In the value of
British Refined there is a decline of Is. This afternoon there
was a good request for rough by private contract ; sales of Cal-
cutta at 255. 6d, a 28e. 6d.
RICE.-The prices of East India remain firm, and there con-
tinues to be a brisk export request. Bt auction 2,820 bags all
went readily at 12s. 6d. a 13s. 6d. for ord. white Madras, and
15s. 6d. a 16s. for good white Bengal; 8,000 bags Java will
be brought to public sale on Tuesday next. Carolina support
former prices, and in stcady request.

carried off in a fit of apoplexy. Mrs. Smart was present,
and the aged couple wt,e sitting immediately behind the
superintendent, listening to the proceedings of the court,
when Mr. Smart gently slipped from his seat and instantly
expired. Mr. Smart, who was in his 78th year, had lost
two of his sons within a few months back. The first, Da-
vid, merchant, died of fever, after a few days' illness ; and
the second, Patrick, writer, was killed by accident in the
harbour. The sudden death of her husband must have
been a very severe shock to Mrs. Smart.—Dundee Paper.
Some few weeks since a small industrious farmer,
of the neighbourhood of Chobham, applied to the over-
seers to seek advice and assistance, under the fol-
lowing circumstances : He stated that his daughter,
(a fine healthy young woman about twenty years of
age) was come home from service in the family way ; she
had been living with a baker in Windsor, and the author of
her dishonour was an apprentice to the same master, who,
being just out of his time, had left, and gone to London.
The alteration in the poor laws having renered the power
of the magistrate and overseer in these cases nearly nuga-
tory, nothing further was done ; in a few days the young
woman was put to bed of two fine boys, both healthy and
strong ; not many days after the confinement the mother
was taken ill of the quinsy, which caused her death—thus
the little innocents are left without that parental support
their tender age require. Should this meet the eye of
the father, it is hoped it will produce a degree of compunc-
tion sufficient to induce him or his friends to offer assistance
in rearing the little orphans, and keeping them from the
workhouse.— Windsor Express.
At Norwood the ravages of the storm of Tuesday
were most extensive. About one o'clock a terrific gust
carried away the three turrets of Norwood Church, which,
falling upon the roof, forced it completely in, carrying away
in its descent the galleries of the church, and rendering it a
complete ruin.
On Wednesday a pair was joined in the bonds of
holy wedlock, whose joint ages amounted to 157 years.
The Swain is William Richards, of the Clee-hills, and his
lady love, Widow Reynolds. " Hail wedded love, myste-
rious union, hail !"—Tyne Mercury.
Prince Polignac, accompanied by his eldest son,
arrived at the Clarendon Hotel, Old Bond-street, in an
open barouche, on Saturday, at half-past three, p.m., from
Dover, where they had disembarked, on the previous day,
from Calais. The Princess Polignac, and the younger
branches of the family, are expected to arrive in a few days
from Ham, in Picardy, where she had resided nearly the
whole period of her husband's captivity. The Prince
looked care-worn, and is not in very robust health, having,
during the latter part of his imprisonment, suffered much
from gout. A Captain of Gendarmerie escorted the Prince
from the fortress to the place of embarkation, with orders,
however, to treat the ex-Minister with every respect and
attention. Lord Rancliffe, brother to the Princess Po-
lignac, who resides at Bunny Park, in Nottinghamshire,
has invited his exiled relative to pass some time at his seat.
