TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The gauntlet that was so inconsiderately thrown
down, has been boldly taken up. The prophecies of the
Liberal party are fulfilled, and Ministers, doubly defeated and
crest-fallen, may begin to count the hours of their existence.
The people have spoken out through their Commons' House,
and their sentence has been—" WE WILL NOT HAVE YOU."
In vain have been employed the weapons of sophistry and the
arts of rhetoric ; the common-sense view of the question has
prevailed, and the fiat has gone forth—WE WILL NOT HAVE
YOU. Clothing their

" naked villainy
With old odd ends stolen of Holy Writ,"
these modern Pharisees marched into the field, but the scar
of apostacy was too deeply branded on their brows, and the
uplifted banner of Reform availed them not. The whining
cry of " Givens a fair trial," was silenced by the shout—You
DAVE BEEN TRIED

The blow, however, which has stunned our enemies, and
made "the natural ruby of their cheeks, blanched with fear,"
cannot have come upon us with any such intense feelings of
wonder. The attentive and intelligent observer of the times
must have long ago foretold the triumph of liberal principles,--
the return, in fact, to the spirit of our old Constitution. In what-
ever soil the seeds of liberty have been cast, history assures us
of their growth and ultimate vigour. Man is the same now as
he was in the semi-barbarous days of the last Tarquin, and
although, from the calmer and more improved tone of the
mind, in consequence of a higher degree of civilization, such
violent gusts of popular feeling are not again to be expected,
still the pedestal of democratic sentiment remains unshaken.
We arc, indeed, reminded how slow have been their progress
by the painful spectacle of the numerous nations to whom they
are unknown, but, also, how sure is their advance may be learnt
from the fruitless attempts that have been so often made to
annihilate them. The rash enthusiasm of some, and the de-

termined hostility of others, have alike combined for their
destruction ; and, although they may have been buried for a
time, they have invariably come forth, like metals from the
furnace, purer and more precious.
He must be a very short-sighted person who views the

events of last week simply as a trial of strength between two
parties. It is undoubtedly true that the people, jealous of
their national honour, are most unwilling to rest any political
confidence in men who have shown so little political wisdom—
that, believing the days of miracles over, they suspect
sudden conversions, and are not inclined to credit that Sir
Robert Peel, placing a head full of some fifty and odd years
of prejudices on his pillow to-night, should rise the next
.night, should

morning a nrw man. -Further than this, their interest in the
individual scarcely extends, but they consider the victory as
one of principles, and principles alone. This is the real phi-
losophical way of viewing the question. We have not for-
gotten that most of those who compose the present Govern-
ment, and almost all who act in concert with it, treated, as it
were but yesterday, the question of Reform as an idle and
wicked chimera—an ignis firtuas held out by knaves to catch
fools. Now, not one of them dare present himself to any body
of his countrymen without having that hateful word on his
lips—though it be far as ever from his heart. This is the vic-
tory to which I allude—this is the revolution of opinion, ten
thousand times more alarming and fatal to kings than all the
anarchies which ever had a Robespierre for chief. The cry
that to Reform was to plunder and to innovate has failed ; the
" pressure from without" (how galling is this expression to
the Tories !) will not allow the reign of humbug to return,
and when once the vast machine of state has been well oiled,
the people will not again suffer it to rust through neglect.
Elated as we may justly be at the prospect that discloses
itself to our view, we must not suppose all to be over, and
slumber at our posts. A good General displays his superior
tact by preserving even a stricter discipline after q battle
won. r Reformers must be on the alert and watchful. Let
their motto be Carpe Diem, and their emblem the fable of
the old man and the bundle of sticks. If they do not act to-
gether and at once, they will encounter a defeat, for they cope
with a dying, and therefore a desperate enemy. Let them fol-
low the good example of the Metropolis, and establish clubs
throughout the country ; this will look as if they really were
in earnest, and intended to follow up a systematic warfare :
above all, let them not be betrayed by the insolence of the foe,
into extravagant expressions, for surely as these injure every
good cause, so, unquestionably, will moderation and manly
firmness ensure a speedy and a quiet victory. MILD.

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.

The past week's arrivals of most kinds of Grain were mode-
rate, and of Flour also middling. There was no change in
the trade during the week. This morning the fresh supplies
of most articles are tolerably good, particularly Oats. The
Wheat trade, from the tenderness of the samples, has been
very dull, and no alteration from last week's prices
can be noted. The maltsters being in want of Barley
have been obliged to give an advance of Is. per quar-
ter, and nearly every sample is sold ; but for grinding quali-
ties no better prices have been obtained. Beans are plentiful
and dull in sale, but not cheaper. Pease, of both kinds meet
very little demand. For Oats there has been a fair demand
at the terms of this day se'nnight. In the Flour trade, dul-
ness prevails, with no alteration in prices.

NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET.—March

We had a full supply of Wheat from the farmers to-day, for
which there was a ready sale at a trifling improvement on the
best samples. The Oat Market was not so brisk as of late,
though we note no change in the value of that iGrain. The
Barley trade has been very languid lately, but as the Malt
question is now settled, hope for a better demand. Malt
steady. Rye, Beans, and Pease as our last. Flour still slow
sale, with no improvement in value.

BURGLARY AT EVERTON.—The house of Mr.
Thomas Tattershall, on the east side of the Terrace, was en-
tered last week, by some burglars, who succeeded in carrying
off plate of the value of 601. The noise made by the wind,
which blew a gale, rendered it impossible for the inmates to
hear what was passing in the house, and enabled the burglars
to effect their object without any interruption.

CHURCH REFORM.—On Saturday, a very full
meeting of the Marylebone vestry was held at the Court-
house, Oxford-street, for the purpose of taking into considera-
tion the propriety of petitioning both Houses of Parliament
for a Reform in the Church. Mr. Wardle in the chair.
After some discussion, the vestry agreed to a petition, nailing
the attention of Parliament to various points of Church Re-
form, and praying their immediate attention to this important
measure.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—On Monday
last there were more goods in the market than have been
seen for some months past. The finest qualities were quickly
bought up ; the middles sold more readily than last week, but
at former prices. Low flannels, however, were scarcely in..
quired after. The wool market was rather slack, and very
little business was done.—Manchester Guardian.

ECCENTRICITIES OF THE LATE EARL OF SCAR-
zottorGii.—A fruitless search of some days was made for the
will ; at length an old servant disclosed the secret place whore
it was deposited, and stated, that some time before he had re-
ceived his Lordship's commands, when informing him where
it was to be found, "if he should be the survivor, not to re-
veal where it was until he had been dead three days, but to
let them have a good hunt for it." These instructions were
fulfilled to the letter. One thousand pounds, it is said, were
found enclosed in the Will—An old portmanteau was thrown
aside as worthless, by the persons in charge of papers and
valu ables ; a servant, however, suggested that it had better
be opened, when it was found to contain securities to the value
of eighteen thousand pounds--Nottingham Review.

On Thursday afternoon, about four, as Mr. Gis-
borne, the eloquent and patriotic member for North Derby-
shire, vas going to the house of Commons, accompanied by
his gr( mm, on horseback, when in the Birdcage-walk, the horse
of the latter suddenly started off at a furious rate, and came in
conta et with the iron railings, which cut the animal's eye out,
and otherwise hurt it. The groom escaped unhurt.
