no man, • under such circumstances; in whom
they have not the greatest confidence. Now,
without entertaining the shadow Of-a wish to
say anything discourteous of Mr. YOUNG, we
speak but the language of the Reformeis of
Marylebone, when we affirm that lie no longer
enjoys their confidence.. Were he therefore
well advised' he would 'retire from a.
contest in which he haS no chance, and
in which his perseverance may have the effect of
returning a Tory for the Borough. Mr. YOUNG'S
retirement from the field would secure the re-
turn of Sir CHARLES NAPIER and Sir BENJAMIN
HALL, men in whom not only the Liberal elec-
tors of Marylebone but the Reformers through-
out Great Britain have unbounded confidence.
But as Mr. YOUNG is of a different opinion we
willingly leave the decision to the result of the
pubic meeting on Wednesday next. In the
mean time we implore the Liberal electors of
Marylebone to bestir themselves in setting a good
example to the country. Let NAPIER, HALL,
and a cheap loaf be their watchwords.

" I should not have he.,..nated," says Sir
JAMES GRAHAM; in his address to the electors
of Pembroke, " to ask fur: ariene sal of your
confidence, if circumstances had not occurred
which Compel me to• renounce this high hOnor."
The " circumstances" which the Right fronour-
able Baronet thus vaguely and mysteriousl;
alludes to, may be easily explained. He
is off and away, to try•his, luck in Cumberland,
being perfectly well aware that Pembroke has
had quite enough of him, and is sick of the very
mention of the apostate's name. The Borough
being thus freed from this heavy Tory incubus:
we trust it will be prompt to turn its freedom to
the best account. Time presses--there is not an
hour to spare. The Pembroke electors must
bear in mind that, while they . deliberate, the
enemy decide; and they must theretbre—
like expert, ready tacticians—make thou.,,=:t
and decision go hand in hand together.
We entreat—we implore them—as they value
the • blessings of Liberal Government and
mitigated taxation, to lose not an hour in
looking about for sonic, candidate worthy
of their confidence. Such a one is easily fbund,
fur the Anti-monopolists gain daily a vast acces-
sion to their numbers, while the Monopolists lose
it in the same ratio. Is there no member of the
Admiralty Board whom the electors can select
as a substitute for the heavy-headed Cumber-
land Baronet, who, very much against his incli-
nation, has cut and run from them ? We think
they would find little difficulty in suiting them-
selves, from this Board ? At any rate, let them
pick and choose where they will, it is imperatively
necessary, above all things, that they be quick
in their decision. A weighty responsibility de-
volves upon them. They have it in their power
seriously to injure, or greatly to assist, the pro-
gress of enlightened principles of Government;
and sure we are that when the time of action
arrives—and it is close at hand—they will not be
found wanting in their duty.

We have received a file of the Port Nicholson
(New Zealand) Gazette to the 3d of January
inclusive. The Colony is represented as very
flourishing, considering the short time that has
elapsed since its establishment. Oa the 27th of
'December the Blenheim, Captain GRAY, which
sailed from the Clyde on the 21th of August,
arrived safely at Port Nichbison, having on
board 150 steerage and 11 cabin passengers.
They were all iu excellent health. Two children
died on the passage out, and six were born. The
editor of the Gazette says of these colonists that
they are just the men to war with a New Zealand
forest, as a few hills or gales of wind will not
frighten_ them 'ot4, of their propriety. The
" London," - 01144i1l Sli U ITLEWORTH, also
arrived safely--' fit Port Nicholson from
the DOwns, . whence she sailed, on the
19th of August, bringing out 193 emi-
grants. Of these 43 were cabin passengers.
Rumours of a war between Great 13iitain and
France had reached Port Nieholson-an event
(happily without foundation) which the colonists,
greatly deplored. A bullock weighing upwards
of 9001bs. was slaughtered by one firm to cele-
brate the Christmas festivities, and the new year
was ushered in with the firing of cannon, ringing
of bells, and salutes frian all the vessels in the
harbour. The new col.my appears to be very
moral, if we may judge from the absence of all
reports of serious offences in the Gazette. The
following extract from the "Wholesale Price

1841, will give our readers an idea of the cost of

The news brought by the Madrid papers of the 3d
instant, has been anticipated by Thursday's extraordi-
nary express from Paris. On the Bourse, on the 3d, the
Four per Cents. were done at 221., at GO days. Then
were twenty-nine transactions in the Five per Cents., for
,t sum of 19,900,000 reals, negotiated at 2G . for cash,
and at 27k to at GO days. •

The whole of the French Journals of Thursday have-
reached us. With the exception of some intelligence
from French Africa they contain very little news of in-
terog. In the Tuuloithais we find a letter from Algiers
dated the 1;t inst., from which we make the folio wing
extract .

" expeditionary enltinin tinder the Corm!!dna of • General
Bugeaud is eirliniiig the ikeAt,rn part of the Regency, an,,
attemlatt to. Come up with Abd-elaßildieri Who retires
before our troops. The last accounts received from the allay
are dated May 23d. On that day our forces were to enter
jekedempt, which. is the capital of the Emir's possessions,
the centte of his commeree, his4getieral magazine, and the
place where he has established Ms kihtifie§ and faarufac-
turies. Tekedempt is situated at only 2 ghort thatanee from
the desert of Sahara. The prisoners who have resided there
all agree in drscriling the environs of the town as very pre-
cipitotas, and say that. li.,ns are •s• en l,row'imrt about at the
foot of the ramparts. General Bugeaud at flr.4 intended to
gain possession of Mascara ; but the Arabs have defeated h:s
inventions by themselves setting fire to the plaee. A dispute
has arisen relative to some French prisoners who are still at
'flemecen. The Bishop has sworn to obtain their liberty ; but
General Bar, who commands at Algiers, will tot give up the
Arabs who are in his poser. The Arabs made an irruption a
few days since at Alaustapha, close to Algiers, and several per-
sons were cmried off. M. Rezey and his domcric narrowly
e-caperi b ing captured by five armed Arabs, who fell on them •
The lio:.ses of the carriage to which they were riding were cut
away and earrie'l off. M. Rezey def,ntled hitnne4 for some
• time with his whip, and at length escaped by flight. During
• the strigOe he received a sabae wound in the arm. With the
exception of occasional acts of manuding, the plain is tranquil."

A Toulon paper of the 6th inst. publishes the follow-
