Academy so alarmingly crowded with portraits,
but, fortunately, they represent this year so many of our
eminent contemporaries, that they are in some measure
invested with Interest and redeemed from monotony.
During tee private view of Friday we observed an

NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(rßom ouR. OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
REPRESENTATION 01? THE ISLE OF +NIGHT.
Tn" reiignation of Mr. C. Ceveodish Clifford caused
great r:joicings in the Tory cacao yesterday, but gloom
came with the morrow in the shape of the undermel-
- address, from Edward Dawes, Esq., of St.
Helen's, a Protestant, a Liberal, a
.Free Trader, and a
Reformer. He solicits the suffrages of the electors, and
a 11&, "It is my firm intention to go to the poll!" " Oh,
dery says the Tories, " then we cannot." He has
canvassed Ryde, and obtained a great majority of the
votes. Re- addresses the Newpert electors this even-
ing:--

" TO TIKE ELECTORS OF TIIE COUNTY OF THE ISLE OF

" Gentlemen,—naving
been solicited by a respectable
body of the electors to allow myself to be proposed as a
candidate for the representation of the Isle of Wight, I have
consented, in consequence of the retirement of Mr. Clifford,
to the application.
" Possessing property in land, I am deeply interested in
the prosperity 05 the agricultural classes; but I am
thoroughly satisfied that the free-trade policy of the present
day has produced a higher degree of happiness and con-
tentment amongst the people, and greater prosperity to the
kingdom at large, than would hare been obtained under the
pretence for afs so
r e but it has
hostility old system of corn-laws and high duties upon the general
tecel of the population. In my opinion, free trade has not
every
oduisarly imneincreasedd ed tdhiesacffo
Government, and probably saved the country from confusion
and ruin. At the same time, I deeply lament that the tran-
sition from protection to free trade has entailed any amount
of distress on the agriculturists; and i I thinkt due to that
valuable class of the community, that Parliament should in-
vestigate their complaints, and give them_ every possible
relief, short of taxing the food of the people. I believe,
however, that, while Parliament may devise some remedy,
the landlords themselves must do much in the re-adjust-
ment of rents to the actual state of things; more especially
as they themselves participate in the general prosperity of
the country consequent on the reduction of taxation and
the cheapening of all the necessaries, and many of the com-
forts of life.
" With respect to Papal Aggression, I would resist every
pretension of Popery which is inconsistent with the dignity
of this country, and with our civil and religious rights; and
especially I would support any measure for placing conven-
tual establishments under salutary inspection, and for regu-
lating bequests devised for religious or charitable uses. I
would restrict the Church of Rome to the same amount of
religious liberty, and the same means for its propagation, as
are enjoyed by other religious denominations.
" As a member of the Church of England, I am mortified
to perceive that the aggressions of the Papacy have been en-
couraged by a party within the Establishment. My own ar-
dent desire is to see that Church administered according to
the intentions of our noble Reformers. I should wish to see
its internal administration reformed, and its revenues more
equally distributed, so as to render them subservient to the
happiness and usefulness of the great body of the clergy.
With regard to the Dissenting bodies, I cheerfully admit the
immense services they have rendered to the cause of Chris-
tianity in every part of the British empire, and I shall al-
ways be ready, as far as I can, to aid in maintaining their
rights and privileges.

I am prepared" to consent to a well-considered measure
for the extension of the suffrage, so as to keep pace with the
increasing education and influence d the people, believingthat in proportion as the foundations of our constitution can
be safely enlarged, the fabric itself is strengthened.
" In conclusion, I have only to say that, so far as depends
on me, the canvass for your suffrage shall be carried on in a
spirit of fairness and candour towards those electors who
differ from me, and that, if elected as your representative, I
shall endeavour to serve you faithfully.
" It is my firm intention to go to the poll.
" Should the shortness of time or other circumstances pre-
vent a personal canvass, I trust that this plain statement of
my principles will be deemed satisfactory by the great body
of the electors.
" I have the hononr to be, gentlemen, your obedient
servant. " DIVAS]) DANES.

s c ththat the purport of his remarks to Mr. Hard-

France sent from

somewhat misunderstood. His meaning was, that the
French authorities acted generally with severity to-
wards Polish refugees, and that the French Govern-
ment was not scrupulous about sending Poles over
to this country, not only on account of their poll..
tical conduct, but on account of other offences not
political, which the law of France could reach if put in
force. The inference likely to be drawn from the report
of the conversation with Mr. Hardwick, that all theBo°_

worthy of consideration, the general body were of od
