when the labourer or wayfaring man needed but to ask
at the gates of any decent mansion for a gratuitous
cup of that beverage, so peculiarly requisite to the frame
and habits of an industrious Englishman. One word
before we conclude : we believe seriously that the
raising of so trifling a loan for so good a purpose
would scarcely affect the public funds one per cent.,
and our inquiries support that opinion ; and as to the
idea of the national creditor taking alarm, that borders
too much upon the ridiculous to dwell upon.—Morning
Herald.

HE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1835.

W. W. Wynne and a Mr. Biddulph, the former a
Conservative, the latter a Radical. Mr. Biddulph
has been beaten by a considerable majority by Mr.
Bagot, a staunch friend of the Constitution, and this
victory is obtained under disadvantageous circumstances,
for many self-styled Conservatives gave plumpers to
Sir Watkin 'Wynn instead of dividing their votes, but
the Cambrian blood was up, and loyalty prevailed over
hostility and neutrality. South Essex is indeed
worthy to be associated with her northern
neighbour. Mr. Bramston and Mr. Hall Dare
are both good men and true. Mr. Halford's
spirited exertions and eminent abilities will be no
Longer neutralized by the radicalism of a factious col-
league. Had Mr. Dawson contested the representa-
tion with Mr. Frewcn Turner, his minority would
have been in the proportion of one to seven. The
Althorpean incubus is removed from South Northamp-
tonshire, while honesty and integrity have triumphed
in the persons of Mr. Cartwright and Sir Charles
Knightley (why has not Lord Brudenell a Conserva-
tive colleague for the Northern Division ?) Our
friends in North Shropshire have not deceived us.
Mr. Cotes, preferring retirement to defeat, is succeeded
by Mr. Ormsby Gore, an active, zealous, and efficient
defender of the Constitution. Essex, Leicestershire,
and Shropshire—well, indeed, have they acted at this
important moment ! In East Suffolk, Mr. Shawe
makes room for Sir Charles Vere—not without a con-
test. The Conservative cause in that county is in-
debt- d to Mr. Shawe, for he has manifested its
strength. Sir Charles is successful by a very large ma-
jority. The electors of North Lincolnshire have re-
deemed themselves from the disgrace of being misrepre-
sented by the greatest mountebank in England (Lord
Brougham is on the Continent), who is beaten by
Mr. Corbett. Why did not Mr. Chaplin, of Blank-
ney, also present himself ? the insolent attempt at
monopoly by the house of Brocklesby would have
thus been signally punished. Sir William Ingilby
will now have time to learn that ribaldry is not wit, nor
buffoonery humour. He has shared the fate of the
Pahnerstons, Biddulphs, Shaves, and Dashwoods,
and the other unfortunate Radicals, "quos nunc per-
scribere longuni est." Yet these majorities, however
triumphant, and however gratifying numerically, are
still more valuable when looked at with reference to
their moral influence, as evincing the confidence
which the well-informed and reasonable portion of
the community have in their intentions of his Ma
jesty's Ministers, and their reliance on the wisdom
with which those intentions will be worked out to a
satisfactory fulfilment. In many counties the old
Members have been suffered to resume their
posts without opposition, in the well-founded
expectation that they will profit by the lesson
taught in other places, and not offer a factious and
disgraceful opposition. In Nottinghamshire Mr. De-
nison, in Oxfordshire Mr. Harcourt and Major Vey-
land, in Berkshire Mr. Walter (not to mention many
other instances), declared that they were prepared to
give the Ministry of the King's choice " a fair trial."
Nor is it necessary to refer to the speeches of Lord
Stanley and Sir James Graham, which must be fresh
in the memories of our readers; while Mr. Phillips,
the Member for North Leicestershire, a consistent
and zealous Whig, in his address to the electors
(an address honourable alike to the head and heart
which dictated it), calls upon his constituents to
rally round the altar and the throne, whose very
existence is endangered by factious and unprincipled
demagogues. If, then, our enemies expect that among
" the Reformers of all grades" will be found the names
we have mentioned, they are grievously mistaken.
They will be numbered indeed among the Reformers,
but of a very different class—the Reformers whose ob-
ject is not to destroy but to amend—the Reformers, at
the head of whom will be found the wise, able, and
honest men to whom the destinies of England are en-
trusted—the unflinching champions of all that is ex-
cellent and valuable, but the fearless purifiers of what-
ever is unsound and useless, in our ancient and ad-
mirable institutions.—Morning Post.
Now that the elections are all but completed, and
their result almost known to a fraction—and that frac-
tion of no moment, either in subtracting from the aw-
ful minority of the Tories, or in adding to the confirmed
majority of the Reformers—the great question to be
decided, for it has not yet been decided, is in what
way it would be most just, most politic, and most
appropriate, to oust the anti-national Administra-
tion, which has, by the foulest play that ever cha-
racterized a desperate faction, got possession of the
reins of Government. The question is one of the
utmost importance, and notwithstanding the decided
tone of some of our contemporaries, has not yet
been solved to the satisfaction of all the Reform
Members of the House of Commons. Upon one point
all are agreed—and that is, that the sooner his
Majesty be made acquainted with the fact that the
country has no confidence in his Ministers the better ;
but whether this knowledge should be conveyed to
him through the medium of the ejection of the
Tory candidate for the Speakership, Sir Charles
Manners Sutton, and the election of a liberal
Speaker in his stead, has not, as vet, we will ven-
ture to state, been determined upon. The dif
ference of opinion upon the point is not difficult of
reconcilement—there being no question respecting
the end to be attained, but simply respecting the
means. The majority of the Reform Members,
as we have every reason to believe, contend that
battle ought to be given at once, by proposing an-
other Speaker in lieu of Sir Charles Manners
Sutton, and trying, upon that point, whether the pre-
sent Government does, or does not, possess the con-
fidence of the country ; while a very large minority, on
the other hand, deems the mere question of the Speak-
ership too unimportant to raise that of the durability
of an Administration so anti-national—so opposed
from previous habit and previous practice, to all just
and necessary Reforms—and which would be tho-
roughly disgraced, both morally and politically, by an
adoption of Reforms to which, as a party, it was
always opposed, and on account of which, there
can be no doubt, it was dismissed in anger, in
fear, and in contemptuous hatred. Of this mi-
nority, however, and it is a large and most respecta-
ble minority, we can say with truth, that having the
same end in view with the majority already formed—
namely, that of threwing out the present Administra-
tion—it will, on good and satisfactory reason being
shown, have no hesitation in complying with the reso-
lutions of the majority. Our opinion is that the
question ought to be raised on the Speakership, that
our friends should join heart and hand with the
friends of Lord Melbourne, and the friends of Re-
' form, in ousting Sir Charles Manners Sutton from
the place of Speaker. The indignation of the country,
as well as its determination, cannot be too soon known.

SIR JONAH BAItRINGTON'S MEMOIRS OF IRE-
LAND, AND TILE UNlON.—lndependently of the great histori-
cal and personal interest belonging to this work, of which a
cheap edition is now in course of monthly publication, the
pictorial embellishments render it an object of considerable
attraction. Among other interesting objects in the Ist No.,
all of which are considered to exhibit most faithful likeness of
the originals, will be found those of the Earl of Clare (Lord
Chancellor), the Right Hon. Husvey Burgh, Lord Kilwarden,
and the celebrated Robert Emmet ; and the 2d No., we un-
derstand, will contain the portraits of the celebrated and un-
fortunate Lord Edward Fitzgerald, of James Napper Tandy,
Francis Hardy, the Right Hon. Henry Grattan, the Earl of
Charlemont, the Duke of Leinster, and Sir John Blaquiere.
It will thus be perceived that the six numbers in which the
Work will be comprised, will present a gallery of portraits of
almost all the distinguished persons who have figured in Ire-
land during the last fifty years.

Friday morning, during a violent gale, the Mary, of
Chichester, a small sloop, laden \vial stone from Bognor
Rocks, for Mr. C. Cheesman, was wrecked on this beach.
She was discovered about eight o'clock apparently endeavour-
ing to make the Chain Pier, and as she neared the shore, two
men were seen upon deck, one at the helm, the other clinging
to the rigging. Shortly before nine o'clock a great number of
persons assembled on the cliffs, some prepared with ropes, and
others with most of their clothes off, ready in the event of ac-
cident. The vessel bore up gallantly, but on reaching the
breakers was in danger every moment of being swamped, be-
ing frequently buried in the surge. The men on board also
threw off most of their clothes. At length the vessel was
driven near the shore ; and one man, who courageously ven-
tured to the extremity of the groyne to render assistance, suc-
ceeded in casting a rope to the vessel, which was seized by the
crew. At this moment a tremendous wave carried the vessel
to the shore, when the men jumped out and were saved. The
vessel has been considerably damaged ; but it is hoped she
may be got off.—Brighton Gazette.
