DEVONSHIRE ELECTION.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Plymouth, Tuesday Evening, April 28.
The time of the election being now so close at hand, the
grt:atest
activity prevails here amongst the supporters of
taiJohn Russell and Mr. Parker. The Tory party still
Ilei_utain the Popery cry, and have frightened by it many
hi '"18 out of promises of support. To-day we were put
epPossession of a hand-bill, signed " John Younge," ad-
osesed to his friends and neighbours, on the subject of the
reef rY Cry. This Mr. Younge is, we are informed, the
er of Puslwich, near this place (Plymouth).
lb.t this hand-bill the writer has the effrontery to state,
"it has been proposed by Lord John Russell to
toan,,sfer the property of the Protestant Church in Ireland
tostne Roman Catholics : in some parishes a part of it ; in
sorra the whole." Then follows a copy of Lord John's re-
lisilti°l, which this said Mr. Younge states in plain Eng-
te be--" That heads be counted in Ireland, and that
the Property of the Protestant Church be handed over to
4: Roman Catholics in proportion to their respective
ti. 411) ers with as little delay as possible." Such, then, are
6'ei Means resorted to by a clergyman of the Established
rch to influence the voters at the ensuing election.
tpo e'claY a placard appeared on the walls of our town,
tfh?uncing that Lord John Russell will attend a meeting
h• 18 friends and supporters at the Mechanics' Institute in
ithise t"na (Plymouth) on Thursday next, at one o'clock—
bar 1:1 several gentlemen, well-known friends of the agricul-
-41 interest and opposers of the present obnoxious
'lll of tithes would address the meeting.
th 41).is day a numerous and highly respectable meeting of
ejlends and supporters of Lord John Russell was held
coot of the Anchor Inn, at Brent. J.C. Bulteel, Esq., of
krneharn, presided on the occasion. The meeting was ad-
E sed by Lord John, Lord Seymour, M.P., Jasper Parrott,
at M.P., Col. Seale, T. Newman, Esq., and several
,;,r Gentlemen, friends of the good cause.
1,410-morrow Lord John Russell will attend meetings of
the
and supporters at Dartmouth and Modbury, and
t4e evening will arrive at this place (Plymouth.) On
oullrsclay afternoon his Lordship will proceed from hence
sa!leter, to be present at the nomination, which takes
e on Friday next.

141UPWards of 250 gentlemen, friendly to the princi-
the ,„°f Voluntary Church Societies, breakfasted together in
oft "aterloo Hotel, Edinburgh, on Thursday. The Secretary
sent e Scottish Central Board for vindicating the rights of Dis-
tiot.e.rs, reported the proceedings of the Board since its forma-
tob„4 December last, and gentlemen from various parts of the
111;qtrY, who were present, gave a very gratifying account of
.kajrogress which the cause was making. The Rev. Mr.
from Dublin, was also present, and, in the course of a
111;g and eloquent speech, gave a very interesting account of
the trigio of the Regium Donum in Ireland, its amount, and
Itiit.',°de of its distribution, and the bad effects which had re-
tie, .; from it, both on the Clergy who receive it, and the ge-

tOn Sunday morning, at eleven o'clock, about five
clred agricultural labourers belonging to the various pe-
tioes that compose the Eastbourn Union, met at Jevington
where, having assembled, they formed themselves into
101;•41g. They carried three flags, black, red, and white,
NI!? they placed in the centre of the ring, by the side of
44411 a person named Tuticr stationed himself to address the
Itiblage. They met to take into consideration that part
411 e Poor Law Act which relates to the separation of man
the Wife when ordered into the poor-house. We hear that
meeting was conducted in an orderly and peaceable man-
tau' Delegates were appointed, who withdrew to some dis-

to ARREST FOR DEBT.—There are many prudential
Oth1"8 in favour of serviceable process. Thus, amongst
treat.'e is the probability that a defendant, after he has been
)4d with lenity, will exert himself to pay the plaintiff, and
le,t:4 Probably be able to retain his credit so as to satisfy at
CC' a Part of the debt, although he might not be able to pay
atk: and when, if the harsher proceedings by arrest had been
%_Pted, he would have been instigated to give a preference to
,trz°ther creditor ; or his other creditors, taking alarm from the
tar' and still more from the defendant's inability to find the
lA, I would also press him, and occasion immediate general
ti),,,veneY, when he might have stood his ground, at least for
4,e, and paid all, or at least' the plaintiff. These are pru
Aei!ial considerations that freqnently, independently of moral
tieg, Ought to influence in favour of the milder course. Be-
s, an arrest, unless in cases of gross fraud, is frequently a
4itt.sn measure, inducing great family distress, sometimes even
44 -destruction; and the measure too frequently proceeds from
tev lincharitable spirit of disappointment and unwarrantable
~:age, by which no well-regulated mind, certainly no gentle-
artsrl, indeed, still more, no Christian, ought to be in-
Ikea,
