borough constituencies, are the persons most
affected by this tax. To them we appeal to defend
themselves and their countrymen from this most
unjust imposition. Let them be up and doing.
" England expects that every elector will do his
duty."

A letter from Rome, of the 9th of February, states
" In a few days 300 young men belonging to the first
families of this town will start for Naples, to assist at
the inauguration of a grand fOte to be given in honour
of the Constitution. At this moment, four coaches
filled with the leaders of the people are traversing the
Corso, shouting out " A basso it Ministero ! A basso
i illinistri.'"They have gone to the Capitol to con-
fer with the Senator, and from thence to the Quiri-
nal, where they have demanded from the POPE, in the
name of the people, the armament of the reserve and
of all the volunteers, and the immediate revocation of
the circular which forbids the renovation of the fetes
celebrated in honour of the Sicilian Constitution.

The whole town is in an uproar, and the crowd is
so great that it is almost impossible to go through the
streets.

" We are waiting with anxiety the POPE'S answer,
and we expect that events of high importance will be
the result of the proceedings.

" I hare just heard that the Pore's reply to the
Deputation states that he was about to enter into
political confederacy with Piedmont, Naples, and
Tuscany, and that he expects some Piedmontesa
general officers to be placed at the head of the Roman
troops.

"It is reported in the Lega of Genoa, that on the

Turin, to discuss and fix the terms of the Constitution,
upon the basis already announced. On the Ist of
July will take place the opening of the Chambers,
before which his Majesty will take the oath to the
Constitution. It is reckoned, upon an average, that
for every hundred thousand inhabitants there will be
chosen two or three deputies.
",General DE SONNAR, an old officer of Napoleon,
commanding the Place of Genoa, left on the 10th

cannons are placed in the fortifications, and everything
is ready to repulse the enemy."

the people to tranquillity, promised that the decree
developing
.the principles of the new Government

named Clyde was offered a situation by Mr. Abdy
party if be would vote for that gentleman. Since the

Mr. John Charles Williams, solicitor of Walbrookt

FUNERAL OF TILE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY!'
(THIS DAY.)—The mortal remains of the Right Ref.
1)r. Howley, Archbishop of Canterbury, were removed
this morning from Lambeth Palace to their last resting'
place at Addiscombe. The mournful cortege formed et
a quarter past ten o'clock, and shortly afterwards moved
from the Palace. Crowds of well-dressed individuate
lined the various roads through which the procession
passed.
Ex rENSIYE FIRE.—TOTAL DESTRUCTION 01
STEVENSON'S BISCUIT FACTORY BY FlRE.—Last rigll4
shortly before eight o'clock, a fire, attended with
serious destruction of property, broke out in the midst
of an immense pile of premises extending from the main
street, termed Wapping-wall, to the waterside. The
flames, when first perceived, were issuing from the spit'
cious factory and warehouses belonging to Messrs'
Robert Stephenson and Son, ship-biscuit bakers, situate
at No. 75, in the before-mentioned thoroughfare'
Several persons had very narrow escapes of being
crushed when the roof fell in, but happily no one re'
ceived any injury.
PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—The engagement of Mae:
ready and Mrs. Butler (late Miss Fanny Kemble) to se'
together in the same play is certainly a startling se"
nouncement, and cannot fail in drawing crowds to witness
their united exertions, more especially as this will be
their last performances previously to their visiting
America. The fascinating Thillon also remains, an
appears on the alternate nights. The manager deserves
encouragement. We would advise those who have net
seen the pantomime not to miss the opportunity; it Cer,
tainly is the best we have witnessed for years. Flev
more is inimitable as the Clown; his drolleries are chaste
and unoffending, and his dancing in imitation of the
Pets of the Ballet is an attraction of itself. With Buell
pantomimists as Bologna, Paulo, Sylvani, Miss Fawnet.l
and the incomparable Flexmore, the pantomime will still
continue its popularity.
REPEAL OF THE UNION.—Mr. John O'Connell
has announced his intention of deferring until Tbursdel'
the 2d of the ensuing month, the bringing forward in tbe
House of Commons of his resolution declaratory "
in order to promote and secure the essential interests 0'
the kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland, and to cow
solidate the strength, power, and resources of the any
pire, it is expedient that the Legislative Union betvreal
the said kingdoms shall be repealed, and the ancient an
constitutional system of separate and mutually indepee"
dent Legislatures be restored and re-established in the
same."
