THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 2 ISA

J. WELD, Esq., a resolution of thanks was voted to J.
Young, Esq., the Mayor of Winchester, for his services as
treasurer of the Reform Association of Hants.
Mr. YOUNG returned thanks, and said he would be glad
to repeat his services in the present year.
Captain BLACKSTONE, J.P., said that allusion had been
made more than once to the expediency of stoppihs tiW
supplies. Now in his opinion, such a measure ":"as culy re-

The longer this was delayed, the more productive
of agitati'A tt.; the country would be the delay ; but if that
'°dSriin.sisted in their present course, the business of the
nation would be to insist upon an immediate Reform of the
Lords.—(Cheers.)
W. SPAIN, Esq., then said, that he was aware Sir George
Staunton would be ready to stand as a candidate for South
Hants at the next election ; and that having hitherto
acted as an agent for Lord Palmerston there, he had every
reason to believe that he would stand also.--(Loud cheers.)
There could be no doubt of their success.
A vote of thanks to the Chairman was then passed, and
a Committee to conduct the business of the registration
was appointed, and retired to promote the object of the
meeting.

The dinner took place in the ball-room of the George,
where a large company sat down at five o'clock.
Mr. Shaw Lefevre in the chair ; and Mr. Marsh in the
vice-chair.

After the cloth had been removed, and the usual number
of loyal toasts proposed from the Chair,
Mr. MARSH said, that he had now the agreeable duty
to perform of giving " The health of the Members of the
northern division of Hants."--(Lond cheers.
Mr. LEFEVRE returned thanks in an eloquent speech, in
the course of which he observed that he was convinced that
the repeal Peel's Bill would have no effect in supplying
capital to the farmer. He knew that the agriculturists had
lost money in consequence of that measure, but even more
mischief would result from any effort to retrace our steps...-
(Cheers.) When he sought and recommended a repeal of
one-half the malt-tax, he did so with the sanction of a com-
mission, of which Sir Henry Parnell was the head, and he
knew that that reduction could take place and the revenue
not suffer, if a reduction in the price of foreign barley was
made at the same time.—(Hear, and cheers.) Then in
respect to the property-tax, which was advocated by his
friend Mr. Marsh, he (Mr. Lefevre) was once of the same
opinion ; but upon examination he found that instead of
such a tax affecting the ',xi/40)016e, it would affect those
individuals of the middle Classes whose savings were vested
in the fund% titla who were the principal fundholders ;
for he tUtna in consequence of a return for which he
moved for two years ago, that of 180,000 persons receiving
divid.nds from the funds, at least 100,000 did not receive
from them more than 10/. a-year ; therefore it was not upon
the millionaire the burden of a tax upon funded poperty
would fall, but upon the middle classes, who had invested
their savings in the funds.—(Hear.) Besides this, the
effect of a property-tax upon the manufacturing interests
would be deplorable, and would have the effect of driving
the manufacturers and operatives of this country to the
tontinent and to America—(Hear, hear)—and they had
now passed the Rubicon, and it did not remain to be de-
cided whether this was an agricultural or a manufacturing
country.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. SCOTT, in returning thanks, agreed altogether in
what had been stated by his Hon. Friend and colleague.
Several other toasts were drunk, and speeches were
made by Messrs. Hector, Marsh, Jervoise, Sutton, &c.,
&c., when the company separated.

UNPUBLISHED LETTER OF SIR W.
SCOTT ON THE STATE OF IRELAND.

(Prom the Inverness courier.)
My dear ----I conclude you are now returned with
wife and bairns to --, and not the worse of your tour. T.
have been the better of mine : and Killarney being the
extreme point, I am just about to commence my return to
Dublin, where I only intend to remain two or three days at
furthest. I should like to find a line from you, addressed
" Care of David M'Culloch, Esq., Cheltenham," letting me
know how matters go on at Abbotsford.
I have every reason to make a good report of Ireland,
having been received with distinction, which is flattering,
and with warm-hearted kindness, which is much better. I
am happy to say the country is rapidly improving every
year, and argues the spirit that is afloat, and indicates that
British capital is finding its way into a country where it can
be employed to much advantage. The idea of security is
gaining ground even in those districts, which are, or rather
were, the most unsettled ; and plenty has brought its usual
companion, content, in her hand. But the public peace is
secured by large bodies of an armed police, called by the'
civil term of constables, but very unlike the Dogbcrries of
Old England, being in fact soldiers on foot and horse, well-
armed and mounted, and dressed exactly like our yeomen.
It is not pleasant to see this, but it is absolutely necessary,
for some time at least ; and, from what I can hear, the men
are under strict discipline and behave well ; they are com-
manded by the magistracy, and are very alert.
The soil is in most places extremely rich, but cultivation
is not as yet well understood. The accursed system of
making peats interferes with everything ; and I have passed
through whole counties where a very noble harvest, ripe
for the sickle, was waiting for the next showe sof rain,
while all the population, who should cut, were up to the
middle in the bogs. Not a single field of turnips have I
seen, owing probably to the same reason.
The political disputes are of far less consequence here
than we think in Britain, but I think on the whole it would
be highly desirable that the Catholic Bill should pass ; it
would satisfy most of the higher classes of that persuasion
who seem much inclined to favour a sort of low church,
differing in ceremonies more than essential points from
that of the English Church ; I mean they would do this
tacitly and gradually. The lower class will probably con-
tinue for a long time bigoted Papists ; but education be-
coming general, it is to be supposed that Popery in its
violent tenets will decline even amongst them. By the
way, education is already far more general than in Eng-
land. I saw in the same village about 400 Catholic chil-
dren attending one school, and about 200 Protestants at-
tending another. The peculiar doctrines of neither Church
were permitted to be taught, and there were Protestants
amongst the Papist children, and Papists among the Pro-
testants.

The general condition of the peasantry requires much
improvement ; their cabins are wretched, and their dress
such a labyrinth of rags, that I have often feared some
button would give way and shame us all. But this is
mending, and the younger people are all more decently
dressed, and the new huts which are rising are greatly bet-
ter than the old pig-sties. In short, all is on the move and
mend ; but, as I must be on the move myself, I must de-
fer the rest of my discoveries till we meet.
We have in our party Anne Lockhart, Walter, and his
wife, and two Miss Edgeworths ; so we are a jolly party.
Will you show this to Lady Scott. I wrote to her two
days since. Always truly yours,
Killarney, August 8, 1825. WALTER SCOTT.

Previous to the Marquis and Marchioness of Lon-
donderry leaving Stockholm, the King of Sweden presented
to the Marchioness a most rare and highly valuable porphyry
jardiniere, as a mark of respect and attachment to her husband.
Her Majesty the Queen also presented the Marchioness with
a superb bracelet.
Prince Esterhazy will be here in ten days. His
Excellency's departure from Vienna has been delayed by im-
portant avocations.
The Duchess of Marlborough has returned to her
new residence in Green-street, Park-lane.
The Duchess of Bedford has left her cottage in the
Highlands for Balburnie, the seat of General Balfour, where
Mr. and Mrs. Ellice, juu., and the Marquis of Abercorn, will
meet hafilrace.

The Marquis of Thomond will not visit Rostellat
Castle this year.__

Harewood House, in Hanover-square, will not be
ready for the reception of the family for some months ; the
workmen have been constantly employed for nearly a }ear.
In this mansion was formed the Roxburgh Club, so celebrated
in the annals of literature, about half a century ago.
The Count Sebastiani will leave Paris on Satur
day next. His Excellency expresses a hope of being here on
the Monday following.
The Earl of Lichfield has been entertaining Lord
George Bentinck, Sir Lowell Glynn, Baron de Rutzen, and
a party of fashionable sportsmen, at Shugborough Hall.
Dean Tucker, of Bristol, though a clergyman, very
honestly observed, in answer to a claim made for a certain sect
of English Dissenters, that toleration bad been first advocated
by them—that toleration owed nothing to the clergy of any
sect but their opposition to it—that it originated with the
Dutch shopkeepers, who, in spite of their clergy, thought it
possible for men of different creeds to have commercial deal-
ings with each other, and to live peaceably under the same
laws.

HAMBURG, AUGUST 26, 1836.
n UR Friends, and all those who may have to write
‘..! to us, are requested to be particular in directing,
HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURG, _ _

and any person having to remit money to us, is requested to observe
that by Hamburgh Steamer a letter containing one Bank Note, be
it 30/. 60/. 90/., or any higher amount whatever, is liable to double
postage only ; but 301. for instance remitted in three Ten Pound
Notes, or in Six Five Pound Notes, would by far encrease the
postage. It will, therefore, be advisable for any one, having to re-
mit money to Hamburg, to be particular in remitting the whole
amount in one note.

HEINE BROTHERS.
