is all but proscribed by them, as a man fit for no re-
spectable Christian to associate with, yet he did not retort
on their Lordships ; he did not object to them—which
he might well have done—that they were a squad of
intolerant bigots ; but contented himself with observing
that he trusted they would see the necessity of legis-
lating both for England and Ireland, in a spirit of im-
partial justice, in which case a Reform in their Institu-
tion might, perhaps, be dispensed with. We, too,
hope, with Mr. O'CONNELL, that their Lordships
will see the expediency of doing this justice, though,
we must confess, at the same time, that we are by no
means sanguine on the subject. Mr. HUTT seems
equally distrustful, and accordingly observed, at the
Hull dinner, that it was impossible for the people to
be too much on the alert, or to be too firm in their
bearing. It is, indeed, full time that they should
be again actively on the watch. A few weeks
will decide the question, whether they are to be
wholly subjected to the irresponsible authority
of the House of Lords, or whether their own chosen
representatives are to have an influential voice in the
Legislation ; and therefore, we repeat, they cannot be
too soon on the look-out after their own interests.
Moreover, it may not be amiss that the different Con-
stituencies prepare for another election, for rumour
goes that their Lordships are singularly stubborn on
the subject of the Irish Municipal Bill ; and if so,
a dissolution is indispensable, for nothing but the agi-
tation which that would occasion, can possibly bring
them to their senses. Should their Lordships reject
the Bill in question, it will be they who are the Re-
pealers—not Mr. O'CoNsELL. He is willing to
fling it overboard, provided justice be done to his coun-
try ; but if the Upper House refuse to do that justice,
they will be the means of proclaiming Repeal from
one end of Ireland to the other.

Mr. JOHN BARNETT KINGTON has addressed a
second letter to this Journal relative to the conduct of the
Bristol Magistracy during the riots—Mr. HlLLllousE's
defence of the worshipful Incapables—and the rejection
of Mr. Ex-Alderman DANIEL by the Home Secretary.
The letter is a good one ; but we are obliged to de-
cline its insertion in consequence of its great length.
Besides, the subjects of which it treats, are not of
sufficient importance to warrant our devoting valuable
space to a further investigation of them. We can
assure Mr.-KINGTON that he is much mistaken if he
suppose that even the Tories, ten miles out of Bristol,
care one sixpence about Mr. DANIEL'S character or
principles; or. whether Lord JOHN RUSSELL place him
on the Bench or in the dock. Supply them with a
stronger weapon wherewith to attack the Government,
and the case of poor old Mr. DANIEL will be no
more heard of than the once celebrated, but now
nearly forgotten, law of ASYCHUS for the prevention
of pecuniary fraud: The Tories cite the case
of Mr. DANIEL, because they cannot find a
stronger. Could they only contrive to make him
twenty years younger, he would be worth any-
thing to them, in the present desperate state of theil
resources. But do what they will, they are them-
selves aware that ignorant people have strong preju-
dices in favour of the faculties of seeing and hearing
in magistrates—prejudices to which a Secretary of
State is bound to pay 'Some respect. We confess,
moreover, that we are weak enough to sympathize
with the populace ; and that of the two, we think
deafness a more legitimate ground for the official re-
jection of a candidate for the ermine than even Tory
principles.

Mr. KINGToN notices the Report which appeared
in the Standard, and some other Tory London jo,ir-
nals, of a " public meeting of the most respectable
citizens of Bristol," for the purpose of originating an
address of condolence to Mr. DANIEL. His account
of the farce is so different from that which the Times
almost wept over, that we consider ourselves hound to
quote it, in order to set the public right with respect to
the nefarious tricks of the Bristol Tories :

" Judge, Sir, how far this meeting can be called a meet-
ing of the inhabitants of Bristol, when I tell you that it
was called by private circulars, and that it consisted of the
private, political, and personal friends of Mr. Daniel, and
estimate its numbers upon the information that it was held
in the snug counting-house of one of the rejected nominees !
Into this little family party the gentlemen attendant slipped
one by one ; and no one observed any crowd coming out,
or dreamed until all was over, that any further was there
going on than the usual business of the place—the purchase
and sale of brass ! The Standard enumerates about a
dozen names, and adds that they will sufficiently vouch to
any one acquainted with the West of England, the high
consideration to which that meeting must be entitled for
which these gentlemen would consent to act'—an hyper-
bole of the same absurd character as that exposed above.
Two of the parties have long since ceased to have any con-
nection with Bristol, and merely come here to assist the
city Tories, as some of the city Tories occasionally migrate
into the country, on the principle which guided Shakspeare's
Apothecary to trick out his shop with stuffed alligators and
empty gallipots. Two others must be considered as attend-
ing officially on the occasion, they being the regularly re-
tained Counsel and Attorney of the party. The rest are
Bristol tradesmen and merchants—respectable men enough,
ready as politicians to act for their party at any meeting ;
and with regard to station in society, not superior to a
hundred others whose first knowledge of the meeting came
through the London Press, and who can afford to smile at
the absurd ignorance which the Standard betrays of society
in Bristol."

So much for the " public" meeting to condole over
DANIEL in the Whig den 'of Lions. Now for Mr.
KINGTON'S account] of the good old Tory mode of

procuring signatures :

" Doubtless, in a few days, the Tory Metropolitan Press
will tell us that the address of condolence has been most'
numerously signed ; and the Standard again practically il-
lustrating its aphorism, may tell us that it has been signed
by all the respectable persons in the City.' Let me an-
ticipate the statement, by telling you what is the nature of
the machinery put in operation to procure signatures. The
address is hawking about from door to door, under the in-
fluence of the parochial close Corporations, the self-elected
Vestries of Bristol ; and many,will be induced to sign it.
who detest it in their very hearts. One instance of inde-
pendence has, however, come to my knowledge—a respecta-
ble tradesman was waited on, with whom the house' of thC
great man does business, and his signature was requested to
the document. His reply was,—' No • I will give you
money to buy a piece of plate for Mr. Daniel on private
consideration, if you require it ; but I will not put my hand
to a paper reflecting on the principles I love to maintain, and
on the Government I desire to support.' This instance of
independence is cheering, but we only can estimate its price,
the tradesman in question had then an unexecuted order in
band from the house ;'—it requires little of the gift of pro-
phecy to foretell that it is his last."

To re-open the question of the Bristol riots could serve
no useful purpose. As to Mr. HILLHOUSE'S horse-
manship, it can only become of moment here, should
the worshipful gentleman take it into his head to assist
DUCROW at Astley's. No doubt he would succeed in
the pqt of Mazeppa ; albeit the character might not
exactly suit the taste of an ex-Corporation feeder.

The French Journals of Thursday, received this
morning, take notice of an old dispute between Mar-
shals MAISON and MONCEY, as the cause which im-
pelled the former to institute a Commission of Inquiry
into the management of the Hotel des Invalides, of
which M. MONCEY is Governor. This we regard as
unjust towards the Minister of War. The manage-
ment of the Hotel des Invalides has been long a sub-
ject of very general complaint ; and the reason why
the Commission was not sooner issued, is to be found
in the unwillingness of the War Minister to investigate
the conduct of an officer for whom he was known to
of personal dislike.
entertain a feeling

There are plenty of rumours about fresh regicidal
conspiracies. The Police can hardly move without
stumbling over some den of ruffians, leagued together
for the murder of Louis PHILLIPPE. It is really

wonderful how his most Christian Majesty escapes so
many dangers. No one seems to think that it would
be possible to kill him with a single bullet. On
the contrary, every conspirator has, at least,
from two hundred to as many thousand stands of
arms, and whole subterranean caverns filled with gun-
powder. But, thank Heaven, the KING'S defenders
are more vigilant than his enemies. Of this we want
no better evidence than is furnished by the Pon
Sens in the following somewhat ludicrous paragraph :
" We have stated that on the King's last visit to Ver-
sailles domiciliary visits and most minute searches were
effected in the houses bordering the road from Paris to
that city. Although the visits have yielded no result, the
police has not deemed it proper to confine its zeal to them.
We are assured that it has come to the followinc, resolu-
tion :—All the subterranean arches that cross the road
from Paris to Versailles, and which serve as drains, are
about to be defended at each end by iron railings, so that
no person will be able to enter them. The execution of
this precaution has been commenced at Chaville."
The latest accounts from Barcelona are to the 30th
ult. MINA was then at Cervera, where he had esta-
blished his head-quarters. He had immediately under
his command 20,000 men, all well armed and disci-
plined. The Carlists were suffering greatly through-
out the province; and in one engagement near Barce-
lona had 150 men killed, besides a great number made
prisoners. Nevertheless they were not apparently
much disheartened; and from the general appearance of
the country, it was not expected that the rebellion could
not be put down without a large additional force. In
letters from Vittoria to the 25th ult., the British Legion
is well spoken of. The men are in good health, and
as orderly as any body of troops in Spain. We find
that suspicions are still entertained respecting the de-
voted loyalty of CORDOVA. This of course cannot
surprise our readers, as they have not had time to
forget our opinions respecting this officer. We shall
be much surprised if it be not yet discovered, that
from assuming the command of the army of operations
he was in constant communication with Don C A RLOS.
PARIS, APRIL 6.—We have seen a letter from Santan-
der, dated the 30th, which announces the departure from
that town of 6,000 men, well armed, well equipped, and
already tolerably exercised, for the army of Cordova. Lord
Hay was present when they were reviewed before they set
out, and expressed to them his wish and his hope shortly
to participate in their honourable labours.
It is supposed that Marshal Clause], who is daily ex-
pected, will make but a short stay at Paris, because Ma-
dame Clauzel remains at Algiers.

The Quotidienne says, " M. Thiers is satisfied, and though
France is not, the quarrel between the French Government
and the United States is looked upon as terminated. It is
already in contemplation at the department of Foreign
Affairs to send a Minister to Washington, to thank Presi-
dent Jackson for his exquisite politeness. Messrs. Serru-
rier and Bois-le-Comte are the rival candidates for this
honour ; the one as the former Charge d'Affaires—the
second as the most supple diplomatist, who was appointed
in a moment of difficulty. It seems to be resolved that
the latter shall give way, and that M. Serrurier will very
shortly set out to return to his post. Such, at least, were
the reports in the Cabinet and in the Bureaux of the Rue
des Capucins."

A journal of the Banlieue announces that two private
presses, which were used to print pamphlets against the
Government, were lately seized at the house of M. Augier,
a wine-merchant in the rue de Romainville at Belleville.
Last Saturday, says the Journal de Rouen, the Prince
of Capua and Miss Penelope Smith, travelling under the
names of Count and Countess Maealli, arrived at Rouen.
They intended to stop a week, and had taken lodgings at
the Hotel d'Angleterre, 'but chance would have it that
Miss Penelope Smith met in this hotel with a young En-
glishman, with whom she had also travelled as with the
Prince of Capua. This recognition not being at all to the
taste of the said Prince, he ordered horses, and immediately
set out for Calais, to embark for England. From London
the celebrated travellers will proceed to Gretna-green,
where their union will be legalized by a marriage."---.2lfes•

'rite mission of General Alava at Paris is only tempo-
rary. It is said that the Duke de Rivas will soon arrive
to replace him.
It has been reported that some new mad Republican
conspiracy has been discoveted in Paris ; and, it is added,
that more than 400 persons have been arrested. It is
added that some sub-officers of a regiment of dragoons have
been arrested at Versailles.

The Moniteur contains a report from M. Pelet, the Mi-
nister of Public Instruction, to the King, in which he
states that General Paoli, who died abroad in 1807, be-
queathed to his fellow countrymen of the commune of
Corte, in Corsica, the annual sum of 2001. sterling, to
establish in the commune four Professors' chairs---one of
natural theology, or the natural evidence of Christianity ;
another of morality, or the rights of men ; third, the princi-
ples of physical science ; and the fourth, the elements of
mathematics. He then adds that legal contestations have
prevented this legacy from hitherto being applied, but that
those contestations have now ended, and the town of Corte
is willing to contribute to the expense of two more Pro-
fessors' chairs, the one for the French language, and the
other for graphic drawing. He asked for the permission
of the King to establish the " Paoli School " at Corte,
which was of course granted.
The Gazette de France, no less fortunate than the Quo-
tidienne, was acquitted yesterday by the Court of Assizes,
of a charge of attacking the rights which the King of the
French derives of the wishes of the nation. The ground
of accusation was an article entitled, " Third visit to the
Exhibition," which consisted of commentaries on a picture
representing the King, then Duke of Orleans, Lieutenant-
General.of the kingdom, arriving at the Hotel de Ville, on
July 31, 1830.
The Court of Cassation on Wednesday heard an appeal
by the Prefect of the Seine against a decree of the Royal
Court, granting indemnities to the different gunsmiths of
the capital who had been plundered during the riots of the
sth and 6th June, 1832, and decided that the law of 10
Vendemiaire, Art. IV., which makes Communes responsible
for depredations committed within them, is not applicable
to the case in question, and consequently annulled the de-
cree of the Royal Court, and set the matter for a new trial
before another Royal Court.
The Moniteur contains a report to the King from Mar-
shal Maison, as Minister at War, which has the approba-
tion of his Majesty, recommending the appointment of a
Commission, of which Marshal Lobau is President, to in-
quire into the whole of the administration of the Hotel
des Invalides, in consequence of repeated complaints from
Marshal Moncey, who is the Governor of. that institution.

Prince Charles of Naples and Miss P. Smyth
went through Paris last week, but only stopped the time ne-
cessary for changing horses. On their arrival at Bordeaux
they were woefully short of cash, so much so that the Prince
was preparing to sell some articles in order to procure money
enough to proceed in the diligence, when the timely loan of
20,000 francs was procured from a gentleman of that city.
They were accompanied by a maid, a man-servant, and a
crooked-looking person, believed to be one that assisted in
the elopement from Naples. As the Bordeaux municipal
authorities expected his Highness, .they were preparing some
courteous attentions, when they received a message from him
imploring their worships not to disturb his incognito. A per-
son that had a peep at the Prince's fair companion vows that
her attractions are irorthy this royal but rather protracted
migration.
There is in the possession of Mr. North, a respec-
table farmer of Sutton, near Hull, a black ewe, eleven years
of age, which has in ten seasons produced 23 lambs ; the first
se);en seasons she had pairs, the three last she had three each
time. She has always been in good health, has never been
troubled with maggots, never laid so as to require helping up,
and never required docking. Her fleece weighs on aw average
iolbs. It is rather remarkable that none of the young were
like the mother in respect to colour, all being perfectly white.

DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE.

The Committee met yesterday at the usual hour.
The parties having been equal on the poll at the adjourn-
ment on Thursday evening, the Counsel for the sitting Mem-
ber succeeded in placing Mr. West in a minority of one, by
striking off one vote, objected to on the ground of non-pay-
ment of pipe-water tax.
Mr. WRANGHAM, for the petitioners, proposed to strike off
the vote of Terence Brady, who, he said, was in arrear for
more than one half-year's grand jury cess at the time of the
election.
Mr. AUSTEN submitted that the vote should be retained.
Brady was returned by the collector as an insolvent, and was
thereby exempted from liability for arrears. By the Bth section
of the Grand Jury Act, the Collector could only recover the
amount in his warrant, and that only while the warrant was in
force. The only way to keep the assessment alive was by
having it re-applotted. In this case the voter was returned as
insolvent for the Easter cess, and not having been re-applotted
at Michaelmas Term he was no longer liable for it, and conse-
quently, at the time of the election, was not in arrear for more
than one half-year's cess.
The COMMITTEE having deliberated for an hour announced
their resolution to be, " That from a careful examination of
the Collector's books and warrants it has not been satisfactorily
established that more than one half-year's 'Grand Jury cess was
due and payable by Terence Brady at the time of the election."
Some doubt having arisen as to the effect of the resolution
upon Brady's vote, the Committee, at the request of Counsel,
retired, more fully to explain its nature, and on returning
into Court, stated, that as no proof had been afforded of more
than one half-year's taxes having been due and payable by Te-
rence Brady, the vote should be allowed to remain on the poll.
Mr. WRANGHAM then objected to the vote of Edmond
Coyne, as being in arrear of grand jury cess, and read the
evidence of a collector as proof. The Learned Counsel said
that there existed a difference between the case of this voter
and the one which they had already decided upon. Brady
was applotted at Easter, the present voter at Michaelmas ; and
the committee were therefore bound to presume that this in-
dividual was not insolvent ; for if he had been, it is not pro-
bable that he would have been included in the applotment.
By the 7th section of the Act, power was given to the ap-
plotters to include all arrears of rate in the warrant granted
to the collector, who is obliged on oath to verify that he has
made application for payment in all instances where it may
have been due.

Mr. C. F. YOUNG—How happens it that the arrear is not
alluded to in the warrant.

M. AUSTEN totally dissented from the position laid down by
Mr. Wrangham, and he would say that the tax collector had
no right to demand or collect a single farthing beyond one
year's tax. It mattered not the least as to the solvency or in-
solvency of the voter : the mere question to be decided by the
Committee was, whether arrears which had not been re-ap-
plotted were legally due and payable ? He (Mr. Austin) had
boldly taken the bull by the horns ; but his friend Mr. Wrang-
ham had only taken the cow by the tail.
Mr. WRANGIIAM—You need not spoak about the tail.—
( Laughter. )
Mr. AUSTIN—I wag my tail in the face of day, and am
proud of it.—(Loud laughter.)
The Committee then withdrew, and at their return the clerk
announced their decision to this effect :—" That the arrear due
not having been re-applotted at Michaelmas, more ,than one-
half year's tax was not due and payable, and the name of the
voter must consequently be retained."
At the conclusion of the day's proceedings, Mr. O'Connell
was in a majority of one.
Adjourned at five o'clock to twelve this morning.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCIC.

Halifax papers have been received this morning to the
18th of March. '[he Assembly of Prince Edward's Island
have imprisoned one of their members (Mr. Pope) for using
disrespectful language towards their Speaker, and for
which he would not apologize, in the terms dictated by the
House.
PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT OF NOVA SCOTIA..--FOREIG N
TRADE.—An address on this subject, reported by the Select
Committee, has been agreed to by the House, stating that
the inhabitants of the province bate for several years past
anxiously desired greater facilities for trading with foreign
countries than they now enjoy ; and as these can only be
conferred upon them by the Imperial Legislature, the
House of Assembly, deeming the object sought by their
constituents to be of the deepest moment to their best
interests, have resolved to apply to the Parliament for
relief.

NEW BRUNSWICK.—WO were this morning favoured
with the Journals of the House of Assembly, containing
their late proceedings. Twenty-six resolutions passed the
House on the 13th of March, by large majorities. They
relate to the management and. disposal of the Crown lands
and timber berths, and the powers invested in the Commis-
sioners for the disposal thereof.
We have Madras •papers to Dec. 26. We learn that
another despatch was received from General Taylor, coun-
termanding the talked-of supply of additional troops which
Government were on the point of sending to Gunjum It
is stated that the Rajah of Goomsur has fled to the Nagporc
territories, and that his chief men have come into the Eng-
lish camp. It is stated to be the intention of Sir Charles
Metcalf to retire from office, and return to England.

The Liverpool steamer has arrived from Lisbon—sailed
on the 31st ult., at which period the Prince had not
arrived; but was expected in three or four days. It was
supposed that on his arrival a change would take place in
the Ministry. It was also reported that Carvalho was
determined not to accept of office. On the 28th ult. the
Chambers were abruptly prorogued to the 6th inst., when,
it was reported, they would be dissolved.
Our arrivals this morning are the French, Hamburgh,
and Halifax mails:--the latter, by the Delight, sailed 20th
March. We have ship letters from St. John's, Honduras,
Grenada, Lisbon, Gibraltar, Cadiz, and Demerara ; Cal-
cutta, 4th Dec. ; Madras, 28th Dec.
