WA:LW-ICI:SI! Inn Hon N DS.—Wedneisday was a By--thly, and the
hounds met at Lamington. Numerous and various ycas the as-
iemblage which collects zZ on 'the occasion. Howeverr carriages
and pedestrians were mingled together, anxious to follow and wit-
ness the sport. The carriages (about 30 in number) ezotain.2d
elegantly dressed ladies, wliiientered most fUlly into the ainti*vents
of the day. As it was not a.regular hunting day, little sport. was
anticipated, and several of our Nimrods left town early in the
morning to join Mr. Payne's hounds. The Warwicksh.ire proceeded
to Weston Wood, where they threw , 'lhey soon found. and
followed to Wavcrlev Wood, direct through Bubbenhall • Wood;
skirting Ryton Wood", and enters d Brandon without a single check,
in a tremcridous'pace. This occupied 30 minutes; and at the end
of the check, sti swift was the running, that out of a very large
field, not more than half-a-dozen gentlemen were up. The hounds
turned back to Ryton, and again returned to Brandon. At the end
of the run Many other gentlemen came up. The distance was about
eight or ten miles.

example.
But, 2div, I deny that any change has taken place in' the
principles of Sir Francis him Self. There are few, if aciy,
subjects of importance upon which I have not heard him,
express himself during many years. He has always been
anxious to maintain the just prerogatives of the Crown, as
well 4aS to maintain the liberties of the people. I have
heard him assert, in numberless instances, that he con-
tended-for the demolition of the close borough system, as
not, only being an infringement upon popular rights, but ag
investing individuals with an unconstitutional control over
the' Monarch in the choice of his Ministers. He has uni-
forMly maintained the expediency of upholding a national
Church, and of providing a very 'liberal endowment for its
Ministers ; and, however zealously and successfully he has
laboured for the reformation of our national institutions, he
has always been as ready to defend them against the in7oads
of anarchical innovation as to withstand despotic encroach-
ment.. To party spirit he has never failed to manifest ti'c
most deep-rooted. aversion ; and, being himself of all public
menthe most disinterested, he has felt indignant at the
appearance of place-hunting propensities in guar tors where
no such feeling would have been anticipated. By discard-
ing such a Representative, Gentlemen, you would' inflict
disgrace, but not on him ;.his conduct and motives are
fully appreciated, and therefore highly esteemed throughout
the country. I cannot, however, contemplate the possi-
bility of such a step being taken by the intelligent and really
patriotic electors of Westminster, who, I trust, will rally
round his standard at the crisis of trial, and do honour to
themselves as well as to him, hv enabling him to stand for-
ward in defence of our civil and ecclesiastical institutions,
whether assailed under the plausible mask of simulated
friendship, or endangered by the more generous affgreesiou
of avowed and uncompromising. hostility. Can the Refor-
mers of this country ever forget that he was one of their
most undaunted and unflinching champions in the hour of
difficulty, or, I might almost say, in the season of despair ?
Had length of service and perseverance in faithfulneSs been
fairly appreciated, he, who so gallantly led the troops to
the charge in the days of discomfiture, would have been ap-
pointed to the command, when, chiefly through his unre-
mitting and unwavering exertions, the triumph was ren-
dered easy and secure. And let me ask you, Gentlemen,
why your RepresentatiVe was at that period ungenerously
Superseded ? I answer, because he never was a Whig—be-
cause he spurned the thraldom of faction—because there.
v'ere statesmen not too scrupulous to usurp the laurels
whic;_.. he had won. I venture to maintain that if, instead
of his
Peat even being consulted, the framing of the Re-
form Bin i:'d, as common justice and even common deco-
rum required, been confided to his matured judgment and
enlightened exp.,l:ience, the measure would have, in many
respects, been loss cumbrous in its machinery, and far
more beneficial in operation.
My only objects. ilnaddressing you, Gentlemen, were to
vindicate,rnyself from L,n unjust and ungenerous aspersion,
and to bear myfeeble, but cordial, testimony to the patrietism
and consistency of your excellent Representative. It is, there-
fore, unnecessary for me to ,say anything on the subject of
the letter Which he has thought proper to write to the mem-
bers of Brookes's (of whom I cever had the honour to he
one), and which I never saw, or he,:n.d of, until it appeared in
the newspapers. There is, howeyer„rme remark, which flows
almost involuntarily from my pen, ant? which I cannot for-
bear recording. No one has perusetl with deeper re-
gret, or more decided disapprobation, the tarsh and acrimo-
nious language of the MeMber for Dublin at public meetings,
and in printed addresses ; but I maintain that sufficient
allowance is never made for the virulence and animosity
with which he himself has been so lavishly assailed, and
soinetimes even by antagonists who profess to act with more
than ordinary strictness, according to Gospel principles.
How few among them have not. threatened when they
suffered, or, when reviled, have not reviled again ? Ho*
often has he Yather retracted than provoked contumely and
insult, ? Hava.not attacks been made upon his private cha-
racter, as well miipim his public conduct ? Have not his
motives, hiscoura;,:e, his 'eloquence, 'his 'intellectual emi-
nence, his professional knowledge, been disparaged ?. Have
not his person, his lanologe, his accent, nay,' even his dress,
"been the frequent themes, of scurrility and derision?. No
Man is more dispesed than- I am to resist with firmness the
political principles of the 1; ember for Dublin ; hut I have
alwayS thought that it wouhi have tended to promote the
peace and welfare of Ireland if much pains had not been
taken to exasperate one of the rno.st sensitive citizens of ode
a the most sensitive nations, and :f the opposition to his
measures, especially out of doors, laaa been. characterised
by dignified calmness, instead of being' often degraded by
offensive personalities.—With ninny apo logics for this in-
trusion, I have the honour to remain, Gent`onen, your very
obedient servant,

GEORGE SIN'CLAIR.

COURT OF ASSIZE.

DEPARTMENT DES 'VOSGES.
(Sint'Nos ON THE 2u, 3u, AND 4TH OF DEcmcmt.)
The Court was occupied du-ing'"the above period with the
trial of three prisoners, named Rivet, Clandel alias IMon-
diot, and Thirict, for the murder of Marie Madeleine Jean-
don, an unfortunate girl, who lived by !ifostitution, mid who
frequented the lowest haunts of infamy and debauchery.
It. appeared from the evidence that on the
~fth of May,
which was a fete clay at St. lielens. the deceased arrived
there, and that „she was seen pursuing her disgesiing- aro-
caZion on Sunday in the places where such depraved charac-
ters were usually met with. On the Monday" evening, about
seven o'cloCk, the three prisoners arrived at-St. Helene. One
of the first persons they met was the deceased. ,Claudel and
itiyat had known her previously, and the wretched girl, who
was a half idiot, had pretended that she was with child by
she latter, Rivet. took her with him to one of the caberets,or
public-houses, whither the other two prisoners followed them.
They sat down to discuss a bottle of wine.
,Shortly ater
".Rivet and the deceased went out, and took,the direction s a
lonely spot, near a deserted forge, at, a short distance Erma
t:t.e village. Pursued there by some children,.who attacked
and ;.voted them, they were obliged to retrace their steps.
They rcturned to the cabaret, where the girl, in the midst
of a jimnl'er.of young men inflamed with wine, became the
ohjedt, a ot;-..scene proposals and remarks. The landlord ec-
cordingly,;
at, ,4,.,0 suggestion of his wife, determined to torts
Ler out, and the ,rrisoner Rivas aided in her expulsion by
liiekinr,-; her out th:t s; lace. Immediat sly afterwm ds, how-

tance the body of a f,lnale,-and near it a .i,uantity of blood.
