The following, among other stanzas intro-
duced by Mr. RAYNER the other night at the Birming-
ham Theatre, where he has been acting a week, on the
evening of his benefit, accompanied by a transparency of
the KING, as he appeared when adjourning Parliament,
produced perhaps the most powerful effect ever witnessed
within the walls of a theatre, and drew lorth a burst of
applause which prevented the actor from proceeding for a
considerable period, accompanied by the waving of hats
and handkerchiefs :

Should the vessel Britannia by tempests be tost,
Yet of all her good crew not a hand shall be lost,
For William's her helmsman, and safe through the storm
He'll pilot the ship to the land of Reform.
Mr. Ross's election for the Eastern District
of Burghs is now considered certain, Sir JAMES CAR,
NEGIE having addressed a circular to the Magistrates of
the different burghs, in which, after expressing the pain
which it gives him to forego the honour of being their re.
presentative, he says :—" I cannot con. eat from myself
that w,rilrt I felt it my duty to oppose the measure brought
forward by his Majesty's
.Ministers, as one fraught with
innovations dangerous to the Constitution of Britain, but
more especially to the welfare of Scotland, I should at the
same time be in opposition to the sentimentss of many of
my constituents, and to a measure which, with all its
demerits, proposed giving to the city of Aberdeen the
political influences to which its wealth and import-
ance so justly entitle it in the shape of a separate re..
presentative." The Baronet has, in our opinion, given
satisfactory reasons fur the votes he lately gave, and his
declining a contest for the representation of the
Burghs. We think a Reform in Parliament a necessary
and salutary measure; but others, guided by the purest
motives, may entertain different views on this measure
as well as on Catholic Emancipation, and where the
parties are not guided by sellinterested motives no blame
attaches to them. We cannot see how the influence or re-
spectability of Sir JAMES CARNESIE could be lessened by
the passing of the Bill proposed by Ministers; although we
are of opinion that the policy of extending the elective
franchise in counties to those possessing a property
of the annual rent of 101. may justly I.e (I Iles.
tioned. This part of the Bill, we trust, will be amended in
the new Parliament. The changes will be chiefly felt by
those possessed of small. estates, and we apprehend it will
rather increase the influence of such proprietors as the
Hon. Mr. MAULE and Sir JAMES CARNEGIE, by admit-
ting the tenants on their extensive arid valuable estates to
vote at county elections.—Dundee Co.i.rier.
