ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

COLONEL THOMPSON'S COMMITTEE TO THE
LIBERAL ELECTORS OF BRADFORD.

Gentlemen,--We congratulate you upon the improved
position of the liberal cause in this borough. An election
committee has been formed, which numbers more than
three hundred and sixty electors, pledged to secure the
return of a gentleman whose name and character are a
watchword in all places where the principles of com-
mercial freedom and of general liberty are understood
and appreciated. This number is a guarantee of success;
but to render assurance doubly sure, the numbers will
yet be increased; and electors who wish to see the
borough represented by a gentleman whose writings have
powerfully contributed to unshackle that commerce by
which it lives and prospers, are respectfully invited to
take part in the work and the honour, that they may
share in the reward.

We not only congratulate you, but the inhabitants
generally, on the prospect of returning Colonel Thomp-
son to Parliament as the representative of this eminently
commercial community. He is not a merchant or a
manufacturer ; but he has demonstrated to the world
that he thoroughly understands the principles upon
which alone merchants and manufacturers can conduct
their operations so as to promote " the greatest happi-
ness of the greatest number." Our own Legislature has
at last admitted the soundness of these principles, by
repealing the great monopolies of corn and sugar. The
man who taught Legislatures and statesmen to under-
stand and appreciate the true principles of commerce,
is put forth as a candidate for the suffrages of men
whose hopes and interests are inseparably connected
with commercial principles, in their practical operation.
The result cannot be doubtful.
We congratulate not only you, not only the inhabi-
tants of Bradford, but the nation generally, in the
prospect of your returning Colonel Thompson to the
British Parliament for though the honour will be
yours, the gain will be the nations. That Colonel
Thompson would zealously attend to the local business
and interests of the borough, there cannot be a doubt ;
but while he would be your special representative in all
local matters, he would, in all imperial questions, be the
able representative of the new truths, principles, and
policy which must henceforth guide British legislation.
In returning him to Parliament, therefore, you will not
only secure a good local representative, but you will
have the proud satisfaction of say ing that your repre-
sentative is, not only in courtesy, but in truth and
reality, the representative of the truths and opinions
which are uppermost in the minds of the people of
England.
Think of these things. Give them your calm atten-
tion. Think upon the commercial struggle in which
you were engaged for seven long years. Think of the
benefits you reasonably expect to reap as the reward of
your labour and the fruit of your victory. Think of
him who was the pioneer of the little band of commer-
cial reformers. And when you think of difficulties en-
countered and triumphs won—think of gratitude, and
think of Colonel Thompson 1 Gentlemen, we will not
add another word. We have full confidence that you
will do your duty._ _

HAMBURGH and FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, JULY B.—Their Majesties the King and
Queen arrived here on the 6th, on their return from their
visit to London. Their Majesties had arrived at Ostend
the night before; they left that place at eleven o'clock
in the morning, and were at the palace of Lacken in
three hours and a half. It is affirmed that his Majesty,
intends to visit Paris almost immediately.
The following letter has been received relative to the
treasure discovered in the grounds of la Madelaise:—
" Malines, July 4.
" Having been admitted by the events of the year
1830 to take the first rank among the nations of Europe,
it becomes us to exhume the titles which our ancestors
have bequeathed to us, to prove that we still aspire to a
nationality which was conquered with the price of blood.
" The victims of 1830 have their monument, which
proclaims to our children our efforts and our successes.
Our ancestors were not so fortunate, and there is nothing
in the capital to call to mind the heroic endeavours of
nations to oppose the yoke of foreigners. The town has
just discovered a treasure on the spot where, according
to history►, stood the dwelling-place of the first King at
Arms, Torson d'Or, and chief of the Chamber of Heraldry
instituted by Philip Duke of Burgundy in 1629. This
treasure probably belonged to Messione Van den Leene,
King at Arms at the epoch when this treasure was sup-
posed to be concealed. It seems as if Providence had
recovered it to this town for the purpose of giving it a
noble destination in raising a monument in the midst of
the market-place of Madelaine—a fountain, for example,
destined to recal by the attributes and bas-reliefs with
which it might be ornamented, the principal acts of our
ancient nation, &c.
BRUSSELS, JULY 7.—The average price of corn in the
week ending 3d July, was wheat 40f. 10c., rye 26f. 78c.,
being a fall in wheat 32c., rye 2f. 65c. The quantity sold
amounted to 10,531 hectolitres of wheat, and 4,830 hec,
litres of rye.

MUSIC AT NORTHAMPTON.—At the approaching
meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society music will
form an important portion of the amusement provided for
the visitors. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Henry Phillips have
both announced their entertainments, and a morning
concert will be given, for which the great contralto
Alboni is engaged, as also Madlle. Corbari, Signor
Tagliafico, John Parry, and M. Benedict.
THE OBSERVER OF SUNDAY, JULY 11.—The Ob-
server account of the Three Days' Proceedings at Cam-
bridge picturesquely illustrated. A sixpence enclosed
to Mr. Clement, jun., 170, Strand, will ensure a copy by
return of post to any part of England, Scotland, or Ire-
land. There is scarcely a club-house, institution, library,
or news-room in all England, Scotland, Ireland, the
Continent, East and West Indies, or America, in which
the Observer is not taken in, and in many instances du-
plicate copies. The extensive publication of the Observer
commences at six, and concludes at ten on Sunday
mornings. A Monday edition of the Observer, best
adapted for the country and abroad, is regularly pub-
lished at four o'clock on Monday afternoon.
