experiments on the wreck of the Royal George. The inten-

cated at all times by a red flag being hoisted on board one of
the Lumps : the experiment to be made when the flag is so
displayed, at slack tide on the same day. The intention to ex-
plode the large cylinder, containing upwards of 2,0001b5. of
gunpowder will be denoted by a red flag being hoisted on board
the Success hulk and the Lumps ; that experiment, also to be
made at slack tide en the same day. The explosion of the lat-
ter will take place on Monday the 11th inslant, should the
weather be favourable, and there be no swell.— Hampshire

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
(From the Morning Post.)
There is nothing in respect of election matters which
we more ardently desire to piat an end to than bribery, and
all the machinery of waste and of money-grasping there-
With connected. We are desirous, for the sake of mora-
lity, that elections for Members of Parliament should be
freed as much as possible from all that is not honest, open,
and fair. It is on no party ground that we wish for this;
but we do sincerely believe that our party would be great
gainers by such a purification of the elective system. We
rather think that few persons of common sense and com-
mon observation can tail to be aware that the great mass
of the religious and moral people of this country are deci-
dedly Conservative in their politics. If the Conservative
party be not strong enough to overpower their opponents ,
it is because the irreligious and immoral have unfortunately
so`much political power in this country. Any change on
the side of virtue will be a change in favour of the Con-
servatives. We say this in perfect and sufficiently humi-
liating recollection that some of our party have shown
themselves but too little adverse to such victory as might
be obtained by unjust means.

It is for the sake of inflaming Irishmen with a passion
for the Union that the Tories insist upon preserving the
enormities of the Established Church in that country in-
violate ; it is with a view to the same object that they con-
tinue to this hour to resist the reform of the proved and
admitted abuses of the Orange corporations ; and no doubt
it is for the advrincement of the same important end that
Lord Stanley, with his respectable ally, the soi-disant re-
presentative of Belfast, has introduced his Coercion Act
for the Liberal constituencies of Ireland. All these things
are done to foster an attachment to the Union in the sus-
ceptible hearts of Irishmen; and the party which objects
to this course of policy, as we do, and proposes to reform
abuses, and extend instead .of destroying franchises, is
charged with hostility to that great settlement. The
liish character has many peculiarities, but the most curious
trait is that which the Tories have discovered, namely,
that the sure way to take the Irish affections captive, is by
treating the people with every sort of insolence and inhu-
manity. Treat them like human beings (say the ,Tories),
and they will hate you, and revolt from you; eppress them
and trample upon them, and they will never leave you or
forsake you. . _
