GENTLEMEN,
The decided stepe I have taken agaiu.st those who wished that
corruption should be systematically practised by the Reform party
In Ipewich would prevent my success at the ensuing contest ; bat
none of you can entertain a doubt that a sufficient number of friends
remained faithttl to have rendered it impossible for any Liberal to
have been returned in opposition to myself.
This indeed has been admitted by the bribery party in the most
unqualified terms ; it would, however, be a bad return to make for
your uniform kindness were I to be instrumental in causing the
return of two Tories for the borough of Ipswich ; and this would
muloubtedly be the case were I to proceed to the poll at the ap-
proaching election.
It therefore becomes my public duty to retire, and I need not
assure you I do this with the most grateful remembrance of your
kindness. I have the honour to
en remain,

LONDON, WEDNESDAY. JULY 7, 1847.

Saving a rather stolid allusion to the " lumber of
F&OISSART," the speech delivered on Monday evening
by Mr. BERNAL OSBORN E was peculiarly felicitous.
Felicitous we mean, however, simply in regard to
brilliawy of point and jocosity of invective. In its
immediate bearing upon the conduct of Government
in relation to Portugal it was animated by ennobling
principles, but those principles were, from a certain
obliquity of judgment, used as counter to the con-
stitutional course adopted by the Cabinet of Lord
JoRN RUSSELL. We repeat it, distinctly and ad-
Yisedly, the constitutional course. Did the present
Administration evince any disposition to repress that
love of liberty and loyalty to the national charter by
which the Portuguese insurgents have been unde-
niably actuated we should be amongst
the loudest in h
at conductte expression of. our ab-
horrencethe character of a great and independent

abstract truths propounded by Mr. OSBORNE, we are
only disposed to quarrel with his distorted represen-
tation of the official interference in', the Peninsula—a
representation distorted rather by his misapprehension
of the English Cabinet, than by any dissimilarity of
views between the Hon. Member himself and the
members of the Ministry.
Whether or no M. BERNAL OSBORNE was in-

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE

HIGHLANDS.
(From the "Forth British Mail.)
LOCII LAGG AN, SATritDAY NIGIIT.
I stated in a letter dispatched to-day at noon that
Prince Albert and Prince Leiningen had gone out to
shoot in Strath-Paatock. The shooting party extended
their walk fr.m the moor to the woods along the margin
of the Loch, having beaters to start the game from the
caves. Consi,'erable execution was committed. Prince
Albert bagged six brace of grouse, six brace of black-
cocks, one brace of gray hens, one snipe, and three
hares. Prince Leiningen shot about the same quantity
of game, and two roe deer were included in his spoils.
The weather was very pleasant in the afternoon,
and at four o'clock her Majesty and Prince Albert
drove out in a phaeton, attended by General Wemyss
and two out-riders. The Royal party proceeded in
the direction of Laggan village, and returned to the
Lodge a little before six.
Half-a-dozen sailors, belonging to the crew of the
Royal yacht, arrived to day. from Fort William for
the purpose of rowing the Queen on the lake in a
beautiful barge, presented to her Majesty, it is said,
1 y the Marquis of Abercorn. The weather has
hitherto been rather unfavourable for aquatic excur-
sions, but should the atmosphere become more settled,
her Majesty will derive much enjoyment from boat•
ing on the Loch.

MONDAY MORNING.

The weather yesterday was favourable, but the
Queen did not attend worship in the parish church.
Arrangements, I understand, were made for the
English service in the Lodge. Mr. Sutherland, of
the Established Church, officiated alternately in
Gaelic and English. That is also the case in the
commodious Free Church, situated about half a mile
from the village. There is also a Roman Catholic
chapel about two miles from this place.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE

HIGHLANDS.
(Proni,the North British Mail.)
LOCH LAGGAN, SATURDAY, Nom
Yesterday her Majesty and the royal children rode
out on ponies to Loch Arb—a mountain two miles
distant from the Lodge. The Prince, attended by
Mr. Catanach, head keeper, also rode out during the
day, and made a survey of the deer forest In the
afternoon her Majesty drove out in a char-a-banc,
with the intention of visiting Strathmashie ; but a
thick drizzling rain, which began to fall as the royal
cortege approache I the floating-bridge, compelled her
Majesty to return. The Queen was accompanied by
the Duchess of Norfolk, Lady Jocelyn, and the royal
children, and attended by the Duke of Norfolk, Gene-
ral Wemyss, Sir James Clark, and Mr. Anson.
In the evening the Earl of Aberdeen arrived at the
loch in a carriage and four, and proceeded to the
Lodge.
To-day, the Prince is shooting grouse in Strath-
Paatuck. The weather is favourable.
The proceedings on Thursday have given general
satisfaction ; and great admiration of the agility and
strength displayed by the Ilighlandinen engaged in
the games has bten expressed. The race was a
very extraordinary feat, and capable of being accom-
plished only by the hardiest mountaineers. The
course was about a mile and a half in length out and
in, and lay over very coarse and steep ground. One
of the most interesting episodes in the day's proceed-
ings was the introduction of Cluny Macpherson's
youngest son—a little boy about eight years of age—
to the Prince of Wales, each of them arrayed in " the
garb of old Gaul." Great amusement was created as
toe little fellows formally saluted each other. After
exchanging bows, they spent the afternoon together
very happily on the lawn.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 28.)
SUGAR.—The arrivals of colonial this year have been
34,000, and of Foreign 29,000 tons more than in the
previous one; of the former the stock is 23,700, and of
the latter 6,500 greater. Of all kinds the quantity
taken for home consumption exceeds that of 1846
up to this time by 11,700, whilst there is an excess
in the export deliveries of 14,200 tons. Prices
exhibit the following decline:—West India 9s to 10s,
Bengal and Madras lOs to 12s, Mauritius 9s to
118, Foreign East India 3s to Bs, and Foreign 5s
to 8s per cwt., whilst the losses that merchants are yet
sustaining upon the importation are heavy. On Wed-
nesday and Thursday last a good demand was experi-
enced for West India, stiffer rates were paid fur the 950
hhds and tierces that found buyers; brown realised 33s
to 34s 6d, yellow 35s to 455, and grey 34s to 393 per
cwt. The market has been closed since Thursday, and
will remain so until Tuesday next.
REFINED.—The town and country demand has been
active for all descriptions of Refined goods since we last
wrote, and quotations may be considered fully equal to
those previously current, and in some cases above. For
Wet Lumps there is an extensive demand, prices
aro Inn at 51s to 51s 6d for low and middling, and
at 52s to 63s per cwt for good and fine quality.
There is a difference of not more than 198 per cwt
between the value of standard lumps and fair working
sugars. Pieces have been much inquired after—corn
mon at 35s to 375, middling 38s to 40s, good 41s to 435,
and fine at 44s to 475. There is, however, still a plen-
