THE VENERABLE DIGNITARY'S REPLY.

SIR,—You will readily believe that writing is a painful
effort to a man in the ninety-first year of his age ; but in defi-
ance of the weakness and infirmity, inseparable from " life's
last stage," I feel determined to make my grateful acknow-
ledgements for the gratifying attention of a Society, instituted
for the most generous and useful purpose that can possibly be
conceived; a purpose so important, that (to the best of my
recollection) Mr. Locke, in his Code of Laws for Pensylvania,
asserts, that no government can be justified in punishing a sub-
ject, unless it shall have taken care that he be instructed.
Yours, &c. &c. HENRY NORWICH.

and we are to have plenty of political meetings during his
stay amongst us, which is expected to be a fortnight.

ward most handsomely in support of Lord Morpeth, in his en-

BERIVICK-UPON-TWEED ELECTION.--This week
Sir Rufane Donkin having vacated his seat for the representa-
tion of this borough, by accepting the office of Surveyor-Ge-
neral of the Ordnance, has canvassed the electors with the
most flattering success. An attempt was made to oppose him,
but his return is certain. There was also riding to and fro in
the northern division of the county to get up opposition to Lord
Howick, but the attempt deservedly failed, and his Lordship,
we believe, will walk the course. The election for the bo-
rou'h takes place on Monday first.—Berwick Advertiser of

for approval, the number being limited.

WESTERN SURREY.—A Western Surrey Reform
dinner took place on Friday last, at the Crown Inn, Chertsey,
at which W. J. Denison, Esq., M. P., was in the chair. The
dinner was numerously and respectably attended, and the pro-
Ceedings of the day were distinguished by constitutional
speeches, the confidence reposed in the present Ministry, and
by harmony, conviviality, and good feeling. Among the
company present were Sir H. E. Austen, W. Crawford, Esq.,
M. P., Harvey Combe, Esq., 13a70n de Tessler, Si; Henry
Fletcher, Bart., H. J. P. Locke King, Esq., Lieut.- Colonel

TILE SUN NEWSPAPER.—We are indebted to the
proprietors of The Sun, for the list of the New Ministry,
contained in a second edition of that paper of Saturday, and
forwarded to us late last night by express, through our agent,
Mr. M'Phun, Glasgow. The exertions of The Sun proprie-
tors are without a parallel in the history of Newspapers ; and
to those gentlemen who desire the very earliest intelligence
from the Metropolis, we recommend The Sun.—Ayr Ob-
server.

THE NEW MINISTRY.—SUN EXPRESS.—We
were indebted to the public-spirited exertions of the proprietors
of this Journal, (through Messrs. Smith and Co., their Edin-
burgh agents,) for a Second Edition of their paper of Satur-
day last, containing the list of the New Ministry, and the
Parliamentary proceedings of that evening. Although it
reached us on a day when we could make no use of it for the
benefit of the public, we are not the less indebted for the at-
tention. —Perthshire Courier.
We, in common with the Press of Scotland, have to
express our obligations to The Sun, for its unprecedented
exertions in furnishing early intelligence. Through the at-
tention of The Sun's agents, Messrs. J. and T. Smith of St.
Andrew's-square, Edinburgh, we were favoured with a copy
of Saturday's express edition of The Sun containing both an
official list of the New Administration, and a complete report
of Saturday's proceedings in the Houses of Parliament—an
abstract of which will be found in our inner columns. The
length and accuracy with which the important statements in
the House of Lords are given, afford a gratifying proof to
those already so frequently given, of what exertion and enter-
prise can accomplish. Although the copy of The Sun sent
to us on this occasion did not suit our day of publication, we
consider ourselves under equal obligations to the spirited pro-
prietors of The Sun, as if it did.--Stirling Journal.
THE LATE HENRY HUNT.—The Radicals of
Manchester intend to raise a monument to the memory of the
late Henry Hunt. For this purpose they are solicitirg sub-
scriptions from the public.
HEALTH OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA.—Every
body here agrees in one point, viz., im apprehensions for the
health of the King ; for, say they, if his Majesty should, for
the sake of the military spectacle, give up his visit to the baths
of Toplitz, or defer it to too late a period, this might be very
injurious to his health. The King, however, is very indepen-
dent on this point, and prefers being his own physician.—Let-
ter from Berlin, April:ll.
