REPRESENTATION OF NIARYLE-

BONE.
Last evening a crowded and influential meeting of the
electors of the borough of Ma.rylebone took place $t
Blagrove COT ,!ert rooms, Mortimer-street, Cavendish-
square, for the purpose of hearing the political senti-
ments of David Saiomons, Esq., as a candidate for the
representation of the borough.
John Stewart, Esq., was at eight o'clock called to the
chair.

Mr. DAVID S.aaomorrs came forward to address the
meeting, and was received with great applause. The
eol
e,u liberty. t
whilst Hhew waa th
thou
honourable candidate avowed himself the staunch sup-
porteru r
education
ofcivifor civil and religious
the pp
education should be supported by the State, he should
have voted, had he been it Parliament,
against the mi-
nutes of Council, on the aground that the Government
thought friend
at
had no right to teach religion, and that they should have
extended the benefits to all.- -(Cheers.) He considered
that freedom of trade and commerce was the only thing
that could maintain England as a great and enlightened
natiott, and that a poor-law for Ireland was the only
merns of permanently atleviating the distress of that
runtry. He was opposed to the principle of central-
ci:eri, and iu favour of the prinerple of local self -g-mvern-
::.ent.—(Cheers.) A' runiour had gone abroad that he
(fir. Saromons), it he were elected, war, unable to tiszke
iris seat• in the House of Commons. He begged to assuce
the er,nstit urroey of Marylebone that this was a mistake.
They said he could not tike the oaths. Why, he had
slread) taken precisely the same oaths as high-sheriff
of Middlesex, higt-sheriff of Kent, al.d
as a justice of
the p.-ace.—(Cheers.) Blackstone had laid it dawn that
every s'll-b• British-b: rn subject, not disabled by special ,
sta-
tute, was eligible to a seat in Parliament. Now, last
year a Bill was passed called the Religious Opinions
Bill, and that Bill repealed all the obsolete statutes
which wonld have disqualified him —(Hear, hear.) Mr.
Sidomons further contended that he only stood in the
same position as any other dissenter, and as he was, as
he believed, qualified in every way to represent that
borough, he earnestly appealed to the electors for their
support.
In answer to questions, Mr. SALOMONS expressed him-
self a supporter of household suffrage, au opponent of
church-rates, and also of the continuance of the esta-
blished Protestant Church of Ireland.
On the motion of B. B. WILLIAMS, Esq., seconded by
Mr. lima BIERS, a resolution, approving of Mr. Salo-
mons as a fit and proper candidate to represent the bo-
rough in Parliament, was adopted almost unanimously,
amidst loud cheering, and thanks having been passed to
the Chairman, the meeting separated.

SOUtHAMPTON-MONDAY.

The Oriental and Peninsular steam-ship Tagus, Capt.
Evans, arrived in our docks this morning at five o'clock.
In consequence of the amended quarantine laws, she did
not (as usual) stop at the Motherbank, but immediately
sailed into the docks, when the luggage of the passen-
g.ere having been cleared at the Custom-house, they ieft
for their various destinations.

The cargo of the Tagus was very considerable, con-
sisting of 47 bags of yellow berries, 9 bales of silk, 499.
kentils or nuts, 91) hales Gf 4,,sts' hair, 38 boxes of
leeches, 2,000 kilos. of wheat, 69 cases of opium, 6 bales
of mohair, 108 bags of gall., 170 cases of sponge, 20
b-xes of maccaroni, 5 boxes of bullion, and a great va-
riety of packages, and 70 passengers.
The royal mail steam ship I)ee, Captain Allen, is due
this day, but her non-arrival may be accounted for in
cons, quence of an alteration in her voyage, adopted in
consequence of the loss of the ill fated Tweed, and her
arrival may not be looked for until to-morrow or the
next morning.
The Dee, it is expected, will bring news from Mexico
of a later date than that which has already reached us
via New York.

The first steamer on the New York, Bremen, and
Southampton line (the Washington) is shortly expected
at Cowes ; and, at present, it is uncertain whether she
will come here with her mails, &c., or have them con-
veyed hither in a smaller vessel, and then proceed on her
voyage to Bremen. Her touching at our port is looked
forward to with interest, and should she do so she will be
duly welcomed.
The Iberia, Captain Bowen, left this afternoon with the
Peninsular mails and passengers.
The Indus has started on an experimental trip for the
purpose of testing her engines and machinery.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

The ship Tudor brings accounts of April 6th from the
Cape of Good Hope. The state of affairs on the frontier
had not varied much. Pato was said to have sent a
message to the Governor, signifying his anxiety for
peace; but it is also asserted that the reply given was to
the effect that the chief's submission must be uncondi-
tional. The commander of the forces had left Fort
Peddie with a detachment of troops, and the new Bur-
gher levies on the 25th of March, and proceeded to-
wards the Kiaskama. A strong post was in progress of
formation at the mouth of the Buffalo River, and large
supplies of food, &c., would be collected at King Wil-
liam's Town, so as to be in the neighbourhood and avail-
able fcr the army, without their having to retire from
the scene of action. In fact, the object of Sir Henry
Pottinger is said to be to subdue the Kafirs, and to settle
the affairs of the frontier on a permanent basis. The
Dutch Boers were anxious to serve under their own
officers, and desired Sir Andreas Stockeustrom again to
place himself at their head, although that gentleman
appears to be anxious, from his advanced age, to retire
from public duties.
A deputation of the Eastern Provinces Bank had
waited on his Excellency, in order to represent to him
the difficulties under which the mercantile communities
were labouring, in consequence of the scarcity of the
circulating medium. It was suggested, as a measure of
relief, that commissariat drafts should be made a legal
tender, and also that the amounts for which they are
drawn should be small, so that a quicker circulation
might be encouraged. His Excellency replied that he
did not feel himself at liberty to alter the currency laws
as they at present stood; and expressed his belief that a
considerable amount of specie was on its way, which
would materially lessen the evil.
From Natal we learn that on Feb. 20 the expedition
against Umzitnculu had dispersed his followers, and
several thousand head of cattle had been captured. The
chief had, however, escaped, and a reward of 50/. had
been offered for his apprehension.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We regret to state that accounts have been received
from the Cape, which represent that Captain Gibson,
and Dr. Howell, of the Rifle Brigade, accompanied
by the Hon. W. Chetwynd, 73d Regiment, went on
an amateur excursion among the Kafirs, fell into an
ambush, and thus all of them were sacrificed to their
imprudence.

EMIGRATION.

COML.—Hundreds of comfortable-looking farmers,
of young women and men, all decently clad, continue
to arrive daily, with the view of emigrating to Ame-
rica. In such numbers do they come, that the
rapidity with which the bakers' shops in the vicinity
of the quays are cleared of bread is scarcely credible.
A few vessels have sailed for New York and Boston
with emigrants; others are ready to follow, and ten
more are preparing for the same destination. Amongst
those that have sailed and are now ready to start—
I are the Mary T. Rundlett, for New York, 115 pas-
sengers ; Conte Potoski, ditto, 74 ditto; Henry Pat-
terson, ditto, 47 ditto; Globe, for Boston, 177 ditto ;
and the Ovando, ditto, 121 ditto. A curiousfact con-
nected with the desire to emigrate, is the large quanties
of potatoes that some of these emigrants have taken
with them. At present good sound seed potatoes sell
in Cork at 23. Gd. the weight of 211bs. The potatoes
which the emigrants are taking off would readily
bring Is. 9d. in the market—one penny per lb. Not-
withstanding this excessive price, and that Indian

and we have seen specimens of the raw material brought I

But the uplands, in fact, of all Borneo are adapted to the
cultivation of cotton; and should it hereafter suit our
policy to take actual possession of the immense tracts of

probably discover that the mountainous regions about

have just claims would
likewise furnish an immense .supply- New Guinea,
for example, might almost be converted into one huge
cotton plantation. At least, tathe lower ranges of hills
and the undulating plains skirtipg that sea, might be ad-
vantageously adapted to the ,growth of cotton. Many
degrees further westward, the, small and little knoin
Chagos group already produces this material of long
staple and silky fineness ; and if, instead of being de-
voted to the rearing of hogs and the production of cocoa-
nut cii, the whole surface of the islands were covered
with cotton plantations, we should, in all likelihood, be
able to command a large supply, equal in quantity to
the best sea-island.
" It may be likewise worth while to turn our attention
to the northern coast of New Holland, anclmere especially
those rich plains which stretch round the Gulf of Car-
pentaria, where the cotton-shrub would unquestionably
flourish, though it is impossible to determine a priori
what would be the qualities of the wool produced. Still
the. experiment is obviously worth making. Other colo-
mes and countries might be pointed out ; but enough has
been said to show the extent and variety of the inquiries
which ought immediately to be instituted by Parliament
and the country.
We trust the attention of the Government and of
the Legislature will be speedily directed to this most
important subject. The writer alludes to Southern
Africa as likely to become one of our cotton produc-
ing colonies. The readers of " The Sun" will remem-
ber that a short time since, we published a letter from
a settler at Port Natal, stating that he had tried the
experiment of cotton growing there with the greatest
success—that the produce was greater in quantity,
and better in quality than the cotton of the United
States, and the labourers in the colony could be hired
in large numbers and at a very low rate of wages.

to state by whom it was written.
Lord DEN3I.IN intimated to the witness that he should
insist upon his giving up the name of the writer of the
acceptance.
The witnessed hesitated, and then said, that although
he had stated that another person as well as himself was
present when it was written, he had not said that that
other,person had written the acceptance.
Lord DENItAN—Is it, then, to be understood that
you yourself wrote the acceptance ? The witness gave
no answer to this question. He subsequently admitted
that he had been applied to by the defendant upon the
subject of his having put his (defendant's) name to a
number of bills, and that upon saying that the reports
to that effect were true, the defendant had manifested
much anger. He had been professionally engaged for
the defendant.

Lord DENMAN, at the end of the trial, ordered Garbet
to stand committed to the custody of the Governor of
Horsemonger lane prison.
This afternoon Mr. PARRY applied to the Court to
admit the prisoner to bail, and to name the amount of
the recognizancos his Lordship might think proper.
Lord DENMAN.—Why, the trial will come on next
week will it not ? Mr. Parry believed that was so; but
still it was highly desirable that the party should be ad •
mated to bail. He was further instructed to apply for a
copy of Hs Lordship's notes of the trial.
Lord DENme.N.—Certuinly not. It is a most impro-
per and unprecedented application.
Mr. -PARRY begged to apolt,gise, but he had been in-
structed to make the application, and he had consequently
done so.
Lord DEN3fAN.—It is a very improper application.
Mr. PARRY would nor, after such an intimation from his
Lordship, renew the application. Would his Lordship,
however, direct that a copy of short-hand writers' notes
might he furnished?
Lord DENMAN had no doubt that they could be had
ul'n payment for them, and if so they might be supplied.
Ultimately it was arranged that notice of bail should be
given.

THE kMIRROR.

The present number fully sustains the high cha-
racter which this magazine has acquired, since it has been
under the editorship of Mr. P. St. John. "The Miser's
Will," by the Editor, is continued, and the interest
increases, as the tale progresses. Mr. Charlton Carew,
the author of a novel recently published, entitled
" The Poacher's Wife," contributes a short paper,
entitled " The Wanderer; a Dark Tale for. a Dark
Night." Mr. Carew is a writer of great power, and
thoroughly understands the secret of construction, so
as to work his materials up to a climax. The
" Wanderer" is one of those fictions that com-
pletely fascinates the reader. Once begun, it
is impossible to lay down the book until
you have come to the conclusion. We have also some
graceful stanzas by Dr. Farquharson, on " The Tomb
of the Black Prince," and the commencement of a
story by Edmund Oilier, entitled " Concerning Sir
Hubert Asham's Disbelief in Ghosts, and what it led

to," which promises well. But the Mirror contains
also articles of more permanent value. The paper on
" The Supply of Cotton from the East" is well
worthy the attention of the merchant, the manufac-
turer, and the legislator. Our supply of cotton from
America has been gradually getting insufficient to
meet our necessities, and it behoves us therefore, if
we wish to maintain our manufacturing supremacy,
to draw our supply of cotton from a larger area.
India supplies us with some cotton, but of very in-
ferior quality, and it is absolutely necessary, there-
fore, to hold out every inducement to the Indian
cotton grower to improve the quality of his produce.
"Nevertheless,' as this writer justly observes,
"It is nt,t on India alone that we ought to rely. Our
increasing demands should stimulate the cultivation of
cotton in every other part of the world adapted to its
growth—in Italy, Sicily, Greece, Syria, Egypt, Spain,
Southern Africa, Australia, and the Indian archipelago.

THE ECLECTIC REVIEW.

There is an agreeable diversity in the contents of
this number of the Eclectic. A reminiscence of the
illustrious Blaise Pascal—a side glance at the col-
lected writings of Walter Savage (and on some sub-
jects very sayage) Landor—an interesting chapter
from Missionary adventures—a pithy review upon
the advantages of grammar—a posey of antique
ballads from Collin's collection—a few pencillings by-
the-way about the Salt Monopoly—a picturesque
and thrilling allusion to Irish starvation in a notice of
Carleton's last novel—and another (!!!) article upon
the exhaustless subject of Education. Surely that is
variety enough to baffle the powers of the most ver-
satile of ordinary periodicals. But the Eclectic is
anything but baffled. Most of the articles enume-
rated are of superior ability ; and only once, namely,
upon Blaise Pascal and his contemporaries, is their
any striking lack of judgment. Otherwise in temper
and candour the Review is beyond all reprehension.

ROOD'S MAGAZINE.

Another beautiful calling from a bye•gone and
forgotten poet—Mickle—is contained in the April
number of Hood. For its insertion the editor de-
serves our acknowledgments. " Hengist and Mey "
is the ballad, an incident dating in the Saxon days
when good King Arthur ruled the land. Many of
the verses possess considerable beauty. The following
is singular:—
" His hair as black as raven's wing ;
His skin—as Christmas snow ;
Id is cheeks outvie the blush of morn ;
His lips like rose-buds glow."

We say the verse is singular, because in it we re-
cognize a suspicious similarity to a much more exqui-
site description by Chatterton. If our memory serves
us rightly, the lines of Chatterton run thus :

"Black his hair as the winter night,
White his skin as the winter snow,
Red his citeek as the morning light,
Cold he lies in the grave below !"
Is there plagiarism in this similarity, or is it merely
an accidental similitude ? Of metrical pieces the
magazine has no defficiencY; among others there is a
trifle addressed to a Postman by Linnoeus Banks ;
an absurd contribution about a Mrs. Dobson,
written by some anonymous person owho pen-
ned a few months back an elegy to Thomas
Hood ; a delicious sonnet ennui from the
poems of Lord Surrey, and the April sonnet by
Jones, which latter sonnet is again cruelly and ruth-
lessly murdered in cold blood. The poem on Spring,
by the same author, is charmingly conceived and
daintily worded. Speaking to Spring and of Sum-
mer, the poet says—

" Send music to her ears from hill and (lA,
From feather'd minstrels and from lowing lane,
From flecks responsive to the tinkling bell,
From murmuring brooks, as whence the boughs
entwine,
Melodious meshes which the transient air,
Maketh concordant.

Among the prase contributions are a continuation
of "Blanche Neville r a series of hiatclical accounts

THE PAIRICIAN.

The trial of Lord Grey, of Worke, for the abduc-
tion of Lady Henrietta Berkeley, his sister-in-law, in
the year 1682, which is given in this month's Patri-
cian, proves the low standard of morality among the
aristocracy of that period. It is, as the editor justly
remarks, " the history of a very foul transaction,
disclosing guilt of the blackest and deepest dye;" and
yet the principal character in this foul transaction
was afterwards created Earl of Tankerville, and at
the time of his death held the appointment of Lord
Privy Seal. So much for the honour, honesty, and
morality (and, apart from these, there can be no
wisdom) of our ancestors. In this number we
have the commencement of a series of " Original
Letters from Eminent Persons," which pro-
mises to be most interesting. The series commences
with eight letters from Algernon Sidney and two
from John Locke, addressed to Mr. Benjamin Purley,
an English merchant residing at Rotterdam. These
letters are from an unpublished collection in the pos-
session of Thomas Ignatius Forster, M. 8., who is
descended from the gentleman to whom they were
addressed, and who also possesses the original MS.
copy of Locke's Essay on the Human Understand-
ing. " Collectanea Heraldica" contains much plea-
sant gossip on the subject of armorial bearings. We
hope to see the " Collectanea Heraldica " continued
from time to time in the pages of the Patrician.
This is an excellent number of the Patrician.
