It sty, and conclude with the wish that it may be known
that we are faithful alike to our country and our King.
" Your Majesty's constitutional inhabitants of cities—
" ADAM WAGNER, of Otterberg.
" KOHLHEPP, of Kaiserslauturn.
" HABERLE, Burgomaster of Steinwenden.
" CH. SCHERF, of Homburg.
" RITTER, Postmaster of Kirchhomvolanden," &c.
(besides numerous other signatures.)
The allusion to the fate of Poland in the preceding ad-
dress, and the strong expression of feeling, have made a
deep impression on the people wherever this address
is read.

The word " fatherland," as meaning native country, is
a strong German expression, which deserves to become
" at borne" in Great Britain.

POPULATION of the TOWNS IN GREAT
BRITAIN and FRANCE COMPARED, in 183!.

(From the last number of the Revue Brilannique.)
The following tabular comparison of the population of
France with that of England will be examined with con-
siderable interest. In arranging it, we have availed our-
selves of the latest census of each country. The popula-
tion of any town containing less than 15,000 souls has
not been inserted, as there are few places where manufac-
tures are carried on to any extent in which the numbers
will be found less. The result of our researches shows,
that in Great Britain (including England, Scotland, and
Wales—for the returns have not been made up for Ireland),

there are 70 towns with a population of upwards of 15,000
souls, and in France only 61.
The following is the order in which we have placed
them :

GREAT BRITAIN. FRANCE.

PARLIAMENTARY PLEDGES.--NO man
could refuse to pledge himself unless he had an intention
of robbing. But high-blooded men never entered into a
sort of covenant in their dealings: they never took a
house upon lease. Oh, no; they say, we'll take your
house, that's enough ; no lease or agreement is necessary
—our word's enough ! There was one thing, however,
they were obliged to ple,lge and hind themselves in—he
meant the affair of marriage. The women, sensible crea-
tures, took right good care of that, and bound them pretty
tightly both in church and out of it, and in various other
places and ways.—( Laughter.) In marriage, as in every-
thing else, it was money the aristocracy was raking after,
Ind whenever they found it they made a dead set like a
staunch pointer at a partridge. When the Ma: 'pus of BATH
I iscovered that MELLIsir (the butcher) had a rich daughter,
his son made a dead point at her. When SHAFTESBURY
sound that old RuNDELL's public money, got by snuff.box
and bathing machine making., for that Supreme Monarch
GEORGE the Fourth, passed into the hands of one NEALE,'
an attorney, this SHAFTESBURY'S (Luigi:ter fell in love
with the attorney, and could not live a month without
him. It was afterwards found out that the attorney was
for keeping his money ; the lady then separated, requiring
a settlement—for she had in the beginning bound him
dawn and pledged him. She was right, and he was for
imitating Lord SHAFTESBURY'S daughter in election
matters.—(Laughter.) One of the highest blood of all—
one descended from Kings—had taken a play-actress as
his wife. To be sure she had passed through a banker's
hands, and was so far purified. But he sure that she took
e.ood care to pledge the Duke, and that she had him bound
hand and foot. It was all nonsense ;no man should
be sent into Parliament without pledges, and the electors
would not be doing their duty if they sent them there un-
shackled. Time City of London had put forth pledges,
which, save a slight objection or two, were good ones.
Candidates should be pledged to the abolition of all tithes
—to the repeal of all taxes on malt, hops, and soap--to
the abolition of the Assessed Taxes and Corn Laws. Cottett.
