Roman S&tate was under the reign of Tin Emus—an in-
strumentum regni, as TACITUS expresses it, fit fur any
purpose.
We have received news from Guadaloupe and Martinique
dated the Ist and 4th of May.
The first of these colcNies was perfectly tranquil. The visits
of the magistrates to the plantations, the object of which was
to obtain information for the. Government respecting the man-
ner in which the blatls are treated, did not meet with any op-
position. At Guadaloupe the news brought by the Orestes
of the dissolution of the Colonial Council, founded, it is said,
on the nominations of its delegates, had produced some sensa-
tion. The ship Ursin, which sailed from Rio on the 28th of
March, has.brought us word that at the time of its departure,
the Ministry had just been entirely changed. The composition
of the new Cabinet appeared to have given general satisfac-
tion, and its accession to power had been hailed with as much
pleasure as the fall of the preceding Ministry, which had lat-
terly become odious to the Brazilians.—Le Commerce.

Ministerial interregnums are the order of the day.
Letters and papers from Lisbon of the 31st ult., brought
to Falmouth by the Leeds steamer, inform us that the
Portuguese Cabinet . resigned office on the 28th ult. The
Ministers, it appears, were for replacing the national
guards, whose disorderly conduct so frequently embar-
rassed the Government, by the recently organized
militia corps. A majority of seven votes upon a divi-
sion in the Chamber of Deputies rendered this measure
practicable, though exceedingly unpopular out of doors.
They next proposed to capitalize all arrears of salaries
and pensions, varying the rate of interest from 2fr to 6
per cent. This alarmed the moneyed interests, and the Bank
of Lisbon threatened to make no further advance to the
Treasury unless this swindling scheme was abandoned.
This brought the whole machine of Government at once to
a dead stop, and the Ministers had no resource but either
to abandon their project with dishonour or to resign.
They accordingly quitted office, when the QUEEN sent
for the Duke DE PALMELLA, whom she charged to or-
ganise a new Ministry ; but up to the date of the de-
spatches from Lisbon the Duke had not bean joined by a
single colleague.
The recognition of DONNA MARIA as Queen of Portu-
gal by the POPE had given great satisfaction to the
Court of Lisbon. The Portuguese Ambassador, Viscount
CANEIRA had, however, exceeded his instructions by
making concessions to the Holy See, which the QUEEN
could not ratify. Further neptiations must therefore
take place before the question is finally settled.
The following letter from Falmouth, dated Sunday
evening, contains some additional news brought by this
arrival, of which the only distressing particular is the
announcement of the death of Sir DAVID WILKIE, at
Gibraltar, on the Ist instant :

By the Leeds steamer, arrived this evening with Malta and
Peninsular mails, the accompanying despatches were received;
her dates are from Gibraltar the 27th, Cadiz the 28th, and
Lisbon the 31st ult., and from Oporto and Vigo the 2d instant.
The Portuguese news is unimportant.
Also arrived, early this morning, the Oriental steamer, with
the Levant, Egyptian, and India mails, duplicates whereof have
already reached via Marseilles. She has brought home in all
eighty-three passengers, among whom are Sir James Carnac,
lady, and family ; Sir Willoughby Cotton, Sir Harry Darrell,
Lady Lyons, Mr. and Mrs. Frere, Ste. By this arrival we re-
gret to learn the death, at Gibraltar, on the Ist instant, of our
talented countryman and artist Sir David Wilkie, who was re-
turning home with the Oriental from Alexandria ; but, being
suddenly attacked with illness, was landed at Gibraltar, anti
died.

THE LANDLORDS AND THE COTTON LORDS.—An at-
tempt is making by the Tories, we see, to exonerate the
landlords by showing that the cotton lords make much
larger fortunes than the landlords. But those who make
this attempt overlook the essential distinction between
the two classes, namely, the means of obtaining their
fortunes. If each landlord was, as rich as Crcesus it
would excite neither envy nor reproach if his wealth
were honestly obtained. The complaint is, that being
rich, living in luxury and idleness on the labour of
others, they are not contented with these great
advantages, but insist on making them greater
by means of legislation. They deprive men of
freedom to make themselves wealthy. The cotton
lords have no law to tax and plunder other people
for their benefit, but even the helpless factory children
must pay a tax to the landlords in every penny roll they
eat. The wealth of the landlords, whether small or
great, is extorted; the cotton lords' is the voluntary reward
of their labours, obtained in the free public market.
That is the essential difference. Supposing the avarice
of the cotton lords to equal' that of the landlords, it is
met by the equal avarice of other people, and the princi-
ple of competition keeps both in check; but the landlords
escape from this principle by a Corn-law, and gratify
their avarice by taxing the people. Of that the people
complain.
MODERN GREAT MEN.—Mr. Carlyle has told us that
the want of the world is a leader. Men paint for a guide.
" If," said the Spectator, a few weeks ago, " there be
among the free trade agitators any men who know what
they would be at, and possess courage and energy to put
it into action, they may say of our gislators, as Crom-
we.l said of the Scots at Dunbar, "rhe Lord hath de-
livered them into my hand.' A great crisis is come then,
and the nation has no leader. The conventionalities of
Parliament are universally felt to be hollow and false.
They do not even satisfy the poor actors of them. Not
merely parties, great principles are in conflict. We want
less a champion of physical than of moral endow-
ment. The political reformation, which is bursting
forth in all parts of Europe, needs its Luther. It
is the work more of a great writer or moralist than a
great warrior. And where in this emergency are the
leading minds of England ? Where those proud writers
of works who look down with disdain on the humble
journalist, and yet leave him to fight the great battle
and lead the wayy, to victory or—worse than desth—to
national decay. Right and wrong, justice and injustice,
have openly taken the field, and England's giant minds
take no part in the conflict. If great authors are to have
no influence over the present march of events, wherefore
have their souls been given them ? The priests de-
scribed as dumb dogs by Milton are only a faint type of
the priests of the Press, who do not make their voice
heard in this national struggle.
BANKS OF IssuE.—A short Bill has just been brought
into Parliament, making it imperative on all bankers in
the United Kingdom to keep accounts of the amount of
their promissory notes in circulation, and to make re-
turns thereof monthly. The Bank of England is to
make similar returns monthly, together with a state-
ment of the amount of the bullion in the Bank during
the preceding month, and these returns shall be pub-
lished' in the Gazette in every month. The Bill was
prepared and brought• in by Mr. Charles Wood, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Sir Robert Peel.
DEATH OF SIR DAVID WILKIE.—We announce with
great regret the death of this celebrated Painter, which
took place at Gibraltar on the Ist of this month. It
would appear that his death was sudden, as no account
had been received of his previous illnsss. He was on his
return from Egypt, where he had passed some time in
examining the venerable ruins of that ancient country—
not only with a view to gratify a laudable curiosity, but
also to enable him, at some future period, we believe, to
lay the result of his labours before the public, but they
have been speedily cut short by the hand of death. Du-
ring his visit he had frequent interviews with Mehemet
Ali, with whom he is said to have been a great favourite,
and had taken one of the best likenesses of his High-
ness, with a view of having it engraved in England.
We trust the painting was in such a state of forwardness
as will enable an engraver to carry the original design
into effect. The loss of Sir David Wilkie will be felt, not
only in this country, but throughout Europe and Ame-
rica. His Rent Day, Blindman's Buff, Penny Wedding,
Chelsea Pensioners, and many other now standard works
of art, are as well known and as much admired in
foreign countries as in his native land, and
will render his name immortal. Like a country-
man of his own, known, too, throughout the civilized
world, Mr. Thomas Campbell, he completed most of his
celebrated works- when he was young. He came to
London when he was about twenty years of age, and
exhibited for the first time at the Royal Academy, in
1806. One great painting followed another in rapid
succession, and in a few years he reached the height of
his fame. Latterly his productions have been far infe-
rior to those which brought him so justly into notice.
Sir David was 56 years of age at his death. He was the
son of the Rev. Wilkie, minister of the parish of
Cults, in Fifeshire, and was born in 1785. lle was
knightod in 1836, elected an Associate of the Royal
Academy, in 1810, and a Royal Academician in 1812.
He was tely appointed principal painter in ordinary to
her Majesty.

oience, including not a few members of the nobility and per-
sons of fashion, were present at the performance of this tragedy.
Mdlle. Rachel was recalled with tumultuous applause, and, be-
sides the protracted acclamations which detained her before
the curtain as long as we ever saw any star, many a bouquet
dropped upon her, which she pressed to her bosom with both
dignified and graceful expressions oF gratitude. The two last
scenes of Androniaque were very judiciously omitted, the re-
presentative of Oreste being anything but calculated to keep up
the interest excited by Mdlle. Rachel, who, we are happy to
say, will take her benefit on sionday in a part which is reckoned
one of her best—that of Marie Stuart.
Mdlle. Merlin who made her debut at the
Concert Room of the Opera House, gave an evening concert
on Monday, when she was enthusiastically received by a mime •
rous and fashionable audience. This lady's talent is of the
first order, and the delightful style in which sbe sang the aria,
"Come innocents,'' and Mercadante's duetto from Andronica
with Dorus Gras, establishes her reputation amongst the lead-
ing artistes of the present season. Mdlle. Bertucat's graceful
fantasie on the harp, Mr. H. Veuxtemps' splendid execution
ors the violin, and M. Blaes and Madame Dulcken's duetto
concertante on the piano-forte and clarionet. with the elegant
singing of Brizzi, made this concert one of the most agreeable
of the season.

MARRIAGE OP LORD JOHN RUSSELL.—
We learn from an unquestionable source that the Noble Secre-
tary of the Colonies will shortly lead to the hymeneal altar
Lady Fanny Elliot, second daughter of the Earl and Countess
of Tinto. The ceremony will be performed at the close of the
present season. The Noble Lord is in his 49th year, and has
been previously married in 1835 to Lady Ribblesdale, who dies
in November, 1838, leaving a son and daughter by his Lord-
ship. Lady Fanny is in her 26th year.—Herald.
GLASGOW.—We regret to learn that some of
the cotton-spinners in Glasgow and neighbourhood are in a
few d4ys to commence working short time.— Glasgow Consti-

TILE NEW POOR-LAW.

Seven years having now elapsed since the New
Poor-law was carried through Parliament, a
great number of persons are ignorant of its his-
tory. We have of late received more than one
application for some information concerning its
'progress, particularly with regard to the part
which the Tories, who now claim great credit for
having opposed it, acted on the occasion. To
comply with those applications, we have looked
back to.the debates of 1834, and now lay the
results of our researches before the public.
The pauperised and demoralised condition of
the agricultural labourers of England, particu-
larly of' the southern counties, where the Rich-
monds, the Winchilseas, and the Buckinghams
hold sway, had long been a subject of deep
and bitter complaint ; but it was not till the dis-
turbances in the rural districts of the south in
1830, and 1831 quickened the diligence of the
Whig Ministry, that an attempt was made to re-
medy a great evil, which all previons Adminis-
trations had scandalously neglected. Tn 1832,
the Whigs issued a Commission to inquire " into
the practical operation of the laws for the relief
of the poor in England and Wales," and " to re-
port whether any, or what, alterations or amend-
ments, or improvements, may be beneficially
made in the said laws." At the head of t.tis
Commission was placed Charles James the Bishop
of. London, next the Bishop of Chester ; third,
Mr. Sturges Bourne, a liberal kind of Tory.
who was Secretary of State in Mr. Canning's Ad-
ministration, with Mr. Nassau W. Senior, a politi-
cal economist, and four other gentlemen, among
whom was Mr. Chadwick, the present Secretary
of the Poor-law Commissioners. The presence
of two pious Tory Bishops and Mr. S. Bourne
must ratify the reader that the Commission was
not appointed for a party purpose, nor composed
in a party manner. In the month of February,
1834, they made their Report, of which more
than a third consisted of " remedial measures,"
and that Report was the foundation of the Bill,
of which, in fact, the Commissioners were the
real authors, introduced into Payliament by LOrd
Althorp on April 17, 1834. We shall say no more
of the Report than that it gave,a description of
the agricultural population of England, equally
disgusting and disgraceful to the landlords.
In introducing the, measure, Lord Althorp,
then the leader of the House of Commons, dwe.t
at great length on the disgraceful condition of
the people, and on its being the wish and inten-
tion of the measure both to improve the condi-
tion of the pauper and rescue the property of the
landowners from destruction. Mr. Richards
(Tory), Sir G. Strickland (Whig), Colonel Evans
(Whig), Mr. E. Lytton Bulwer (Whig), Sir
Samuel .Whalley (Radical), Mr. Hume (Radi-
cal), Mr. Hardy (Tory), Colonel Wood (Tory),
Mr. Ward (Whig), Sir Thomas Fretnantle,
(Tory), Mr. Slaney (Whig), Mr. Tower (Whig),
Mr. Cripps (Whig), Mr. stcourt (Tory), Mr.,
Poulett Scrope ( Whig), all spoke on. the 'no-
tion for leave to bring in the Bill, and all ex-
pressed, particularly Sir Thomas Fremantle and
Colonel Wood, great approbation of the measure.
Sir Samuel Whalley objected to the Central
Board, but generally approved of the. Bill. Not
a Tory, however, made an objection to it, or in
any way opposed it.
The second reading was moved on the 9th of
May, and then Colonel, now Sir De Lacy Evans,
the Radical (not Tory Member) for Westtninster,
moved a resolution, but withdrew it, condemning
the centralizing principle of the Bill. Sir Samuel
Whalley, another Radical, met the motion fbr
the second reading with an amendment to put
off the Bill for six months. On that occasion the
original motion was supported in speeches by
Mr. Grote, Mr. Slaney, Mr. Clay, Mr. P.
Buller, Mr. Hume, Mr. Benett, and Mr. Hawes,
all Ministerialists, as well as by Mr. Richards and
Sir James Scarlett, Tories. Part of the Bill was
objected to by Sir F. Burdett and Mr. Brother-
ton ; it was opposed by. Mr. Walter; but on a
division the second reading was carried by 319 to
20, and those twenty were, with one or two ex-
ceptions, all Radicals. We transcribe their
names :

At that period the votes of the Members were

names of those who voted for the Bill are not
preserved, but it is plain from Cie Noes that
every Tory in the House voted ibr the Bill ex-
cept Sir It. Vivian and Mr. M. Attwood.
On May 14, the Bill was committed. Mr.
Godson then proposed to divide it into two
parts, and Sir Robert Peel spoke on his amend-
ment, nerely as to a technical point, and did
not say one word against the Bill. The amend-
ment was withdrawn. Mr. Robinson, a quasi W big,
moved resolutions pledging the House to improve
the moral and social condition of the labouring
poor by the promotion of beneficial employment,
and his resolution was supported by the follow-
ing Members who then ALL called themselves
.Radicals or Liberals. Not a Tory was in their
ranks; and again every Tory in the House voted
for the Bill :

In the Committee the first clause, appointing

but not by the Tories. A division took place oil

On May 23d the Bill was again in Committee,
and again Sir Samuel Whalley, Colonel Evans,
and other Radical Members, led all the opposi-
, tion that was made to the clauses of the Bill, but
no division was had. The Bill was discussed in
Committee and on the Report till June a7th,
when all the clauses were agreed to ; and
throughout those discussions we find, besides the
Radicals we have mentioned, Mr. Cobbett and
Mr. T. Attwood taking ail active part-against lhe'
Bill. On J one 6th, an amendment proposed by
Sir H. Willoughby, to restrict the power of the
Commissioners not to levy rates without the con-
sent of the majority of the parishioners, was sup-
ported by the following Members :
Astley,Sir J. Fryer,'R.

Barnard, E. G. Guise, Sir W.
Benett, J. Scholefield, J.

On J tine 9th, Mr. Cobbett made a motion to
stop the Bill altogether, and his motion was sup-
ported by the following gentlemen, not one 0.1:

Cobbett, W. Finn, W. F.
Egerton, W. T. • Godson, R. (Tory.)

There was on the same day two divisions on
the 33d clause of the Bill, both having for their
object to put an end to voting by proxy, and in
the lists of those who opposed the clause, we do
not see a single Tory. Here is one of the lists :.

lief out of the workhouse to such of their 4_,•••

From these filets, it is evident that the state-
ments of the Tories now generally made, that
they Were opposed to the. New Poor-law when it
was made, are, like many others of their state-
ments, great falsehoods. The only opponents of
the New Poor-law, when it was passed, were the
Radicals and . the Whig-Radicals. The Tories
were one and all staunch supporters of the lsw.
It favoured of despotism, its essence was interfe-
rence and control, and therefore the T•-•ries were
certain to support it. Whether the Whigs and
the Whig-RadicAs were equaliv co,sistent a .id
'vise in supporting it, is now more than doubtful.
Supporting it has rendtTed them very unpopular.
They now find that it ought not to have been
passed, till the Corn-laws were abrogated.
That barbarous law • makes all their science
and all their knowledge vain, and renders
the best established principles practically
inapplicable. The New Poor-law, passed when
no Corn-law existed, would have been popular
as well as just; passed with a Corn-law in exist-
ence, it was most unjust, and has be-mne most
deservedly unpopular. The whole guilt of that
lies at the doors of the Tories; they were and
are the advocates of the Corn-laws, and at the
same time the advocates of the New Poor-law,
and we know nothing more impudent than their
assertions—while the facts which contradict them
are well known—that the New Poor-law is exclu-
sively a Whig measure, which the Tories always
opposed. They never opposed it as a party in
either House; and the few individual Tories
who opposed it were always much out-numbered
by the Radicals and the Whigs.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

'CITY. TUESDAY EVENING.
•
There was but a dull market to-day for the Public
Securities, and the quotations were heavy as regarded mcney
transfer', on account of the scarcity of money still experienced
in some quartcrs, and the absence of the more influential job-
bers, who would have been able to take off any loose stock.
Consols closed at 89& 3 for Money, and 881 to 89 for Ac-
c,iunt; Exchequer Hills were 9s: to 7s: prem. ; Bank Stock,
170 ; and the Reduced Three-and-a- Half per Cents., 973 to
The Porttguese Bonds were very heavy on account of the
unfavourable news from Lisbon. 'the Five per Cents. were at
33i to 33i ; Spanish Active Bonds realised 23 to A ; Colom-
bian, 203 ; Mexican, 27* ; Braziiian, 68A to 673; Austiian,
109* ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 521.
Railway Shares were sold to rather a greater extent, and at
prices a shade lower.
The Foreign Exchanges were negociated most currently
thus : Pat is, 25t. 60e to 621 c. ; Amsterdam, 12 133 to 3 ;;Ham-
burgh, 13 93 to 10 ; and Trieste, 9 59 to 10.

PORT Pitutet. .-The condition of Port Philip is far from
pleasant at this moment, what with outrages from the Blacks
without, and the fever within, caused by brackish water.
The Patriot stares that a dysentery rages at Melbourne to a
great extent, owing to the brackish water, and that a danger-
ous fever had found its way into the colony.
Consols at present may be quoted at the opening price of the
morning, 891 89, ex -dividend ; Reduced, 88.4 is ; Exchequer
Bias, 8 6 prem. ; Bank Stock, 170 ; India Bonds, 1 prem. par.

ing. Great Western, 93.; Ditto, New, 63 ; Ditto, Fifths, 11;

Whilst trade in all branches is carried on to so limited an ex-
tent, even consumption being materially checktd by high
prices and manufacturing (listless, it will excite no
surprise that the storks of produce should be on the
increase As an article of leading importance we may take
the case of British plantation sugar. The imports this year
have not exceeded by more than 30 hhds. 300 trcs. those
,
of last Year up to the corresponding -nate ; and yet
the stock is 8,562 hhtis. 'against only 6,526 hhds.,
at. this time last }ear. This evidently points, therefore, to
an increased consumption; and, indeed, upon referring to the
returns before us, we find that up to this time, in 1640
it amounted to 38,668 hogsheads, while this year
it has been only 23,0,.6 hogsheads. This at once
shows the serious privations of the poorer classes,
and at the same time appears to indicate that even the West
Inria planter barely makes a good exchange in realising ex-
travagant I:rices, while he sells lull one..th:rd less.

Money is I:ght in the C►t.y again, owing to the nearer ap-
proach of a d►ssolution of Parliament The steadiness of the
Funds, ITh:withstanding this, shows the confidence of the pub-
lic at large.

REPRESENTA T lON OF MARY-
LEBONE.
GREAT CONCILIATION MEETING.

Yesterday a Special General Alerting of the Marylehone
Ref,irm and Rrgistration Association Has held at the Rooms
of the Association in Warren-street, Fitzroy.squae, for the
purpose of taking m•amres to prevent the Reform interest
from being divid,d, so as to let in a Tory candidate at the
next election,

Mr. HovENnoN having been elected to the Chair,
Mr. IVIMEY said that the meeting had been called for the
purpose of taking some steps to conciliate the divided feelings
of the hleformers in the borough. He read a coot-spondent e
which had passed between Mr. Young and Commodore Napier,
and which had beets published in some of the Morning Papers.
A discu.svm of considerable length, in which Mr. Kcnse:t,
Mr. Bacon, nd o, her vtell-knoAn Reformers tail; part, then
ensued, rostiecting the impracticable plopositicn of Mr. Young,
that the claims of the ant,gorik Liberal candidates should he
submitted to a public meeting of the inhabitants of the
hot oua.

Sir BENJAMIN HALL said he was not aware that the pre-
sent discuss on would base been the, subject of the meeting.
He had conic down there for the purpose of offering to enter
into a coalition with his respected and Gallant etietel, Com-
modore Sir Charles Napierie-(11.oud cheers.) He had felt,
atter the meetings which his 3allant Friend had attended, and
the way in which he had been received at every one of them,
that it was no longer a matter of doubt as to the opinions of
the electors in his favour.—(Cheers.) When he (Sir B.
Hall) had the honour of meeting the electors as a candidate
he was met with no such kind feeling, no such enthusiasm as
that which attended the Gallant Commodore throughout, and
the result fully justified him in believing that his Gallant
Friend could insure the sutTrages of the great majority.
( Hear, hear.) Still although Mr. Young might be the
weaker vessel of the two, he was a gentleman, and as gentlemen
they ought to treat him courteously. —( Hear, hear.) After
what had fallen from Sir C. Napier he could not but consent
to some test of the opinions of the electors, in order to satisfy
the friends of Mr. Young, and to abide by the result- whatever
that result might be.—( Hear, hear.) The only chance the
'levies had of success was disunion amongst the [Wormers.
—( Hear, hear.) The great object the Tories had in
view wts to keep Mr. Young oetermined to go to the
the poll, for a leading Tory had told him (Sir Benjamin
Hall) a tew days since, that they would rather give Mr. Young
500 votes themselves than he should retire.—( Hear, hear.)
Another had said to him, we will spend 100,000/. rather than
he (Sir B. Hall) should again sit fur that borough.—( Laugh-
ter.) He told his Tory friend that he was happy to hear that
his (Sir B. Hall's) political character was worth so much.—
(Renewed laughter.) This, however, showed that all the
energies of the Tory party would be brought into play against
them; that, neither money-nor any thing else would be spared
to attain their :object, and it ought to stimulate all Reformers
to exert themselves for one common end.—( Hear, hear.) He
believed that Mr. Young was sincere in his intentions as re-
garded taking the sense of the electors, and that if he found
that they were in favour of Sir C. Napier, he would feel him-
self bound, as a gentleman, to retire under such circumstances
He (Sir B. Ball) would venture to suggest a plan which he
hoped would, if carried out, meet the convenience of all par-
ties The Hon. Rai once. concluded, by suggesting a plan
to the following effect :--That the meeting agree with
the principle of Mr. Young's letter to Sir Charles Na-
pier and his reply, that the weaker of the two candi-
dates should at once retire front the contest, and that for
the purpose of ascertaining the sense of the electors as to
whether Sir C. Napier or Mr. Young should retire, lists be.
taken round the borough by two or more electors resident in
each district, an equal number to be chosen by the Committees
of Mr. Young and Sir C. Napier ; no electors but those who
have voted for Reformers only to sign the requisition; such
lists to be returned ,in or before Monde. night ; the expense-
to be borne between she two committees." lie Sir B. Hell)
thought thi would be a lair course between both gentlemen,
and he hoped that. whoever might be in a minority, they would
most sincerer alede by the result.—(Art ry great cheering.): ._
Mr. hieweee said that the propesition of the Hon. Baronet.
was most judicious, and he had nu hesitation ie moving that a
committee be appointed to communicate with Mr.• Young's
eemmittee, eeid to title measures for effecting, a perfect .reeon-,
of the Reformers.
Mr. Gomel ascended the resolution, which was carried by
a majorily of nearly 400 to two. Thanks were thee voted-tip
the t hairman, and the meeting seearated.
A meeting of the electors resident in the district of Camden- ,
town was subsequeetly Petit at the Camden head Tavern,.
High -t. eet, hayiur iti the chair.
Mr. STOCKER mused and ;ifs. HODGES veonded a resole-.
lion, pledging the electors present to support Commod‘re Sir
C. Nnpier at the next el, ctioe.
The resolution was ear: ied unanimously, and thanks having
teen voted to f)r. Tad f r his gerelemanly and impartial
conduct 111 the ch- ir, tile meeting separated %sift' three cheers
