TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,-I take the liberty of addressing a few observations to
you who have so frequently—and never more successfully than
now—carried on an uncompromising warfare against tyranny,
whatever garb it assume. A great national triumph has been
achieved—it is the duty of all to join in the Paan; no man
can be called a sound friend to his country who will not aid in
crowning with laurel the brows of those who have so nobly
fought the battle of the people and—conquered. The more
active our foes are in circulating their honey-bedewed slan-
ders, the surer will be our success—the brighter shine the
light of truth. If the question of electing a Speaker be con-
sidered abstractedly, it cannot be alleged that the issue is of no
consequence to the country at large—that it is a mere business
proceeding, interesting to and affecting the House only.
Would it not naturally be asked out of doors, why the Com-
mons had not a President agreeing in politics with the ma-
jority? Would the anomaly have passed unnoticed and un-
censured ? But when you couple with the argument of
common sense the mean deceit that was at the bottom, a con-
test arises in your mind between reason and indignation. Had
the Commons been entrapped, every engine would have been
set at work to prove the return of Tory principles--misrepre-
sentation would have been heaped on misrepresentation—the
demon of cant and calumny would have thrown his firebrands
right and left—the energies of Reformers would have received
a blow, and the cold ealenlating waverer would have found
some shadow of an excnse for fixing himself in the ranks of
the enemy.
When some future historian, unbiassed 137 party feeling,
shall come to the great events of the present period—when he
describes the KING, in the unquestioned exercise of his Royal
Prerogative, dismissing a Ministry untried and undipi4Fd—
which Ministry dissolved a Parliament that it had not the cou-
rage to meet, be may on the same page present to the rising
race of freemen the TlOlf 4114 animating §pectaPlV of El Farlia-
ment exercising also their privileges, and displaying their feel-
ings, by electing a man whose best title is—HIS LOVE OF LI-
BERTY. Did the confederated nobles of the 13th century—did

the glorious news will wing its way to other lands, and whilst
the people of France applaud the manly and ponstiqltieaal way
in which we assert our fights; Is fo Citizen will tremble for
his Crown : the cannon of the three " glorious days" did not
shake the foundations of despotic thrones more effectually than
will this noiseless victory of ours; it will evince as fatally a,
that did the feebleness of a monarch's caprice, when brought
in collision with the stern wilt of a Nation; like that, too, it
will illumine the dungeon of the oppressed, and cause the
chains of sanguinary rulers to sit lighter on the limbs of the
incarcerated Patriot. It will animate the lovers of liberty
throughout the world--rouse the energies of the desponding,
and i-3,40 N full irnpetvi to that fYer-iTIGFCNing floce which

must eventually tear up the tree of corruption by the roots,
and scatter its pestiferous branches to the winds. Thus, Mr.
Editor, this first act of the Commons will prove an extensive
public good ;itis an earnest of what is to come—a basis on
which the 606,4 ri-Antuiwnt placed tht ever mortal
hand assisted in raising ; doubtless, also, it is a gratifying
event to those oracles who have spent so much time, and Wasted
so much learning in assuring the country THAT A REACTION

turday evening the Right Hon. Alexander Baring gave a grand
dinner at his mansion in Piccadilly, to Count Pozzo di Borgo,

Bart., and Lady, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Salisbury,' Viscount Lowther, Lord Ellenborough,

DINNER TO MESSRS. ATTWOOD AND SCHOLE-.
FIELD, M. P's.—On Monday last the independent Committee
of the electors of Deritend and Bordesley entertained the
Members of this borough to a public dinner at the Green
Man Inn. Owing to the smallness of the room, which,
however, is the largest in the hamlets, the number of tickets
were of necessity limited, and, consequently, not one tenth of
those who were anxious to attend, could be accommodated.
Shortly after five o'clock, the company sat down to a most
excellent dinner, which was served up in a style which reflec-
ted great credit on the landlord, Mr. Hildick. The Chairman
of the Committee, Mr. W. G. Lewis, presided. On his
right the two Members were seated, Mr. W. Gammon, jun.,
was vice-president. At the other table Mr. I. Aaron acted as
chairman, and Mr. Randles as vice. On the right and left of
Mr. Aaron were seated Mr, Clement Scholefield and Mr.
Aurelius Attwood.

Died at Tuckingmill, near Camborne, Cornwall,
Robert Moreton, aged 77. Mr. Moreton was born near the
celebrated mountain, " Devil's Peak," in Derbyshire, and
served on board the navy in his early years, when he was a
shipmate of his present Majesty, and was engaged in the action
between the British fleet under Lord Rodney and the French
fleet under Count de Grasse, in 1712, when the former ob-
taTed a complete victory, capturing the French Admiral's
ship Ville de .Paris, and several others.—Plymouth Herald.
