This announcement was received with tremen-

majority of eight, the numbors being

Hampden
Very few votes were polled after this period, and
at half-past three there appeared for—

Hampden
The Tories now made a great effort, and all those
who would not have come forward if it could
have been avoided, were compelled to " come to
the scratch," and among these was the Vicar of
Marlow, who recorded his vote for Mr. Hamp-
den. The effect was, that at four. o'clock Mr.
Hampden and Sir Wm. Clayton had an equal
number of votes, there being for—

This is the most severe contest that has ever
taken place in Marlow- Amid the confusion and
excitement that prevailed it was impossible to
ascertain exactly what course was about to be
pursued, but it was expected that no declaration
would be made until to-morrow (this day).

LONDON:
SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1841

Mr. HumE has been rejected at Leeds. The
most useful man of tile House of Commons has
been repelled by a constituency composed of ma-
nufacturers, which invited him to offer himself
as a candidate to represent their borough. We
are sorry to see the folly and ingratitude of that
great manufacturing community, and can find
for it no explanation or excuse. A better servant
no constituency can have—a servant more suit-
able to the free-trade-loving and bread-taxed-in-
jured manufacturers of Leeds, could not be found.
Yet Mr. llumE has been rejected'. The contest,
which isreally one between free-trade and shack led
trade—between justice and oppression—between
right and wrong—has unfortunately been made
to turn on the respective merits of Whig and
Tory; and Mr. liumE has probably been rejected
on account of the inefficiency of the Whigs,
which he has not been able to prevent. Leeds
will,'ere long, regret this more than Mr. HumE,
who must, on the whole, be pleased, we think, at
his time of life, to be honourably released from
longer serving an ungrateful public.
•

If he be not tired of such a task, there is yet
an opening for him in Middlesex. The noble
spirit displayed in Marylebone and the Tower
Hamlets, notwithstanding the base and sordid
trickery of the City, and the loss of Westmin-
ster by unforgivable carelessness and overweening
confidence, convinces us that Mr.Woon—Colonel
Woon, we think the man is called—is not se-
cure for Middlesex, if an exertion he made
to unseat him. It may not be compatible with
Mr. HumE's wishes and views to offer himself as
a candidate, but it is incumbent on the electors
of Middlesex to put him up, and carry him
triumphantly into Parliament. By so doing,
they will retrieve the damaged reputation of the
metropolitan districts, and show Leeds, with all
its boasting, that the metropolis knows better
than it how to honour worth, and reward long-,
tried public services.
We have observed that the Vicar of Leeds,
Dr. Hoof, took an active part in the contest.
He hastened home from the foot of the Alps,
be said, the instant he heard of the dissolution ;
and he hastened to Leeds, to throw the whole
weight of his influence into the Tory scale. We
do not object to clergymen mingling in politics.
On the contrary, we think it their duty to inter-
fere with men in all their relations, so far as ad-
vising and counselling them goes; but it is in-
dispensible that they take the moral and the
just side. In one of his latest pamphlets, the
Rev. Tnomns SPENCER says— _ _ _

How can they be without excuse who, in the midst of a
pauperised and drunken poor, and with legal dishonesty
and political turpitude amongst the rich, instead of
" warning every man and teaching every man" after the
manner of the Apostle, are content with the applause of
an admiring audience. Surely the same responsibility
attaches to them as to the prophets of old if they are
wanting in fidelity—" When 1 say unto the wicked, thou
shalt surely die ; and thou givest him not warning, nor
speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to
save hislife, the same wicked man shall die in his ini-
quity ; but his blood will I require at thine hand."
When external profession takes the place of real piety—
when indiscriminate almsgiving usurps the province of
judicious benevolence—when indolence feeds on State
pensions or on parish pay ; when Members. of Parlia-
ment, elected by bribery and intimidation, yet falsely
pretending to be the representatives of the people (uphold
oppressive laws ; and when the degraded multitudes be-
take themselves to the intoxicating cup for comfort, then
is the command given to every minister of religion,
" Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet
and show the people their transgression ;" then to the
clergy who receive the tithes, and to the Dissenting mi-
nisters who receive the pew rents from the congregations
to whom they speak smooth things, and from whom they
keep back all faithful admonitions, the language of
Scripture is, " Thus saith the Lord God unto the shep-
herds, woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed
themselves ! Should not the shepherds feed the flock ?
Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool; ye kill
them that are fed ; but ye feed not the flock. The dis-
eased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed
that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that
which was broken, neither have ye brought again that
which was driven away, neither have ye sought that
which was lost ; but with force and with cruelty have
ye ruled them. My flock was scattered upon all the face
of the earth, and none did search or seek after them."
Our charge against Dr. HOOK, and those who
take the same views, is, that they maintain and
uphold oppressive and unjust laws; they lift up
their voices in favour of injustice, they urge on
the tyrant in his tyranny, and administer ap-
probation to his seared conscience; they fleece
the poor instead of feeding them, to fatten them-
selves. They should be the protectors of the
poor, and the smiters of the oppressor; but they
league themselves with the strong and the
wicked, to crush the honest and the weak.
When the clergy take part in politics, they
ought to take the right side. To unite them-
selves with the bread-taxers, is to direct the
hatred, which is due to sordid oppression, on
their own sacred office.

Neither do we object, as we have on more
than one occasion said, to the wives and mothers
of England taking part in politics, but it becomes
them to take the side of humanity and charity.
They must not sacrifice the feelings of woman-
hood to a theory, nor side with power against
the suffering people for the preservation of an

abstraction. The lives of the people are of more
importance even than the Constittition, and much
more importance than the Corn -laws. If any
ladies, led by a mistaken party zeal, side, like
Dr. Moos and others of the clergy, with the op-
pressors of the people, they must not be sur-
prised should even their claims to univeisal ho-
mage fail, in a time of excitement, to disarm
the hatred of savage hunger.
It has happened that ladies' .heads have been
carried about streets on poles, or trailed in the
dirt; and it has happened, sufficiently within recol-
ledtion to serve both for a warning and an
example, that a priesthood has been compelled
to find safety in flight, and those who
braved the popular indignation forfeited their
lives to their temerity. In whatever' lands
such scenes have occurred, or may occur, all
the injuries and insults, we are aware, which a
hallowed sex and a sacred calling have been
perverted to heap on the people, have been'
forgotten, and one universal sympathy has been
felt for the outraged females and the outrage('
clergy. Such a final result is, we are afraid, too
likely to make all classes forget some of the
earliest links in the chain 'of 'which that
was the end. But in the moral,
as in tbe PhY
sical world, events are closely connected by the
chain of causation, and the great multitude' Ile
more does violence . to its own nature, and lases,
sight of its innate respect for the mothers and
teachers of mankind, without some sufficient
reason, than an apple falls to the ;round'
or the moon wends her way in the Ilea'
yens. TO see those who pass their days
In cadand opulence, who have all their wants suPPlie.,
by the unceasing exertions of the hardy sons of tO"'
Solicitous to narrow their reward, and grind then,'
down to poverty, to servility, and degradation/ is
to all rightly-constituted minds as shockingly
disgusting as the slitery of the United States'
When we find such an unamiable disposition in
can'
the hard and griping dealers in money, it
not be too much censured; but when la
dieg
and clergymen take the same side, and.cheer o°
the unhallowed bread-taxers in their guilty
career, the moral world seems to us turned or
side down, and we dread lest it can onlY be
righted by some terrible convulsion.

It seems still necessary, long and carnestlY as''('
Colonel THOMPSON and several other acute
writers and lecturers have dwelt on the subject,

matter of surprise, but that they should hairj

political existence has had for its object to jor

classes into the most servile submission, I'7
