WESTMINSTER ELECTION.

As our Readers must be surfeited with the hack-
neyed trash vented by the Burdeltites, who will
suffer nobody to be beard but themselves, we
shall be brief in our notice of the disgusting sub-
ject this day. Mr. HOBHOUSE yesterday, as
usual, pronounced a high panegyric on the vir-
tues of Sit FRANCIS BURDETT, but the latter,
though present, did not perform his part of the
compact Ky praising his Pupil in return.
The Jacobin Gang, of course, interrupted Mr.LAmB
with blealings rather than the brayings which might
be expected front such asses as favour Mr. HOl3-
HOUSE. The Poll, however, is the test, and we

hope, for the honour of WVest►t►inster, as well as
for the safety of the Country, that the Revolution-
ary Candidate, who dropped tears of admiration
at tl►e sight of BUONAPARTE, will be rejected with
the honest indignation which becomes the British

character. Tile roilowing,paragraph, which con-
tains the " sum awl. substance" of a statement
delivered by Mr. Hosnotiss, we have taken from
The Morning Post :
" A person, whom he styles most respecfabie. is staid to
have shown his independence by voting against his conscience
to please his patron. Lie then skulks over to Mr. Hos-
Housg, and being added to the corps of patriotic canvassers,
he now goes about with unblushing effrontery to recommend
others to sacrifice their private interests to their public duty,
which lie had taken good care not to do himself, and on the
sly opposes himself to the views of the friend he had perjured
himself to conciliate. -A precious fellow thii! If any such
being actually exist, he is certainly worthy of the cause in
which he has embodied, and of the friends who now celebrate
his respectability."

tisement which has been sent to us for insertion
in this day's Paper.—lt should be remembered
that this Society is quite distinct from thu

LONDON,
FEBRU.II?Y 26, 1819.

The Pdris Papers of Tuesday last, which were
due this morniag, have not arrived.

Upon reperusing the Supplementary Gazette re-
specting India (which we received at a late hour
yesterday), we find thai the extract we gave in
yesterday's Su N is the only article in it of the
least interest ; all the other Dispatches being of
old dates, and containing nothing that has not
already been published.

THE Futrns.—The depression in the F►►nds
yesterday occasioned an extraordit►a►y dismay
among the Monied Interest, as no poli;ical or
domestic ca►ise was assigned For the fall. When
they fell to 741 for Money, a general panic seized
the Mal k et, and it is said that had it not been for
the interference of the Jew connection, a further

depression of two per Cent. would .have taken
place. This party finding their ends answered iu
bringing the Market to the above price, as Bears,
took in upwards of two millions of Stock. The
consequence was, that a reaction took place, and
Consols left off at 75i, for ;Money. In the course
of yesterday Exchequer Bills were done at 2s.
Discount, but they have this day risen to from
3s. to 6s. premium. Consols, this morning, com-
menced at 74 Money, and 754 for Accbunt ;
they went to 75 Money, a►►d 751 for Account,
but again fell to the former price.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Wednesday last ; the following are extracts :
" PAats, Auo. 18.—The King, who continues
to enjoy good health, breakfasted yesterday with
the Royal Family, and afterwards received several
dignitaries. •
•' A detonation, similar to the discharge of
several pieces of cannon, •wits heard yesterday
morning about a quarter past four o'clock in the
Fauxbergs, to the north of Paris and Marais. It
was soon discoiered to have been caused by the
explosion of the little powder magazine of the
artificers, in the Court of the Chateau of Vin-
cennes, on the side of the Pavillon du Roi.—
The magazine contained about 2,000 infantry
•c+trtridges, and close by, in another building, were
1800 ball-cartridges, and other ammunition.—
The Officers and soldiers rushed out and extin-
guished' the flames. The misfortt►ne is attributed
,to an artilleryman, a keeper of the Magazine,
who rose at 3 o'clock, and , was arranging

FROM TIM MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT.

LATEST ACCOUNT FROM MANCHESTER.

[3lorniwg Herald.]

At five o'clock on Thursday evening, when our
informant left Manchester, none of the parties
who :,Ettl been imprisoned in the New Bailey were
lib-rated. Mr. Hunt, it is said, had repeatedly
applied to be admitted to bail ; but the Magis-
tr'ates would take no step, respecting; him or the
other parties, until they received directions from
the Secretary of State's Office, -in London, as to
the line of conduct they should pursue. They
had not at that hour received any reply to the dis-
patches which they had forwarded to Lord Sid-
rstouth.

("Morning Post.]

We are happy to state that our accounts from
Manchester, Macclesfield, Stockport,&c. reptesent
all those places to be perfectly tranquil. We have
letters from Manchester dated Thursday' afternoon,
three o'clock, at which time all was peaceable
there; and the advices from all the neighbour-
ing towns were of a nature equally satisfac-
tory. Hunt is still in prison, and it is now re-
ported, that the charges against him are of a na-
ture so much more serious than they were origi-
nally supposed to be, that it is doubtful whether
Ile can, at least for the present, be admitted to
hail.

It was last night reported, that the project for
convening the Radical Reformers on Kennington
Common on Monday next, had undergone a re-
vision ; the :exult of which tva, a resolution to
postpone the meeting to Wednesday, and to hold
it, not at Kenington, but in Smithfield. In this
case, we know our worthy and excellent Lord
Mayor will do his duty in every respect.—The
Duke of Sussex, as Colonel of the Artillery Com-
pany, has issued the following

GENERAL ORDERS.
" H.A.C.

" R.o.—ln cnnsequence of the Meeting intended to be
held at Kennington Common, on Monday next, the e:),1 in-
stant, you are tierellv required to attend at the Armory House,
on that day, at Twelve o'Clock at Noon precisely, in Service
order, viz. grey trowsers and gaiters."

" AUGUSTUS FREDERICK,
" Kensington Palace, Aug. 18. Colonel ll.A.C.—(lbid.)

[New Times.]

Onr last advistiOs from Manchester state, that
the infatuated people, called Radical Reformers,
are endeavouring to bt ing about a disturbance of
the same hind at Liverpool, and that a Requisi-
tion has been presented to the Mayor to call a
Reform Meeting, which he has very considerately
and humanely refused to do.

they formed the Scheme so that two Tickets, cor-
responding Numbers, are sure to gain FORTY

DARING ATTEMPT To Poll DRURY-LANK TUBA-

into the building, by climbing over the palings
in Vinegar-yard, on the south side of the con-
cern, and then breaking open a door. They bad
fortunately not got farther than that part appro-
priated to the printing department, when they
were sliscovered. It was evident that the two
fellows who entered were not by thern3elves, as
the persons at work in the • printing-office rit-
tinctly heard the notice given to them, namely,
a whistle. Mr. White, one of the firemen on duty
at the time, immediately came round from the
stage-boor, with a view of stopping their retreat,
but without success, as they effected their escape
at the moment he turned round the cot ner of the
,building to the spot where they euterr.:!.

THE PEIt'IAN AMBASSADOR.

On Saturday, his Excellency Mum% ABUL
HASSAN KHAN; the Persian Ambassador Extra -
ordioaty to Great Britain, and 'one of his suite,
left the Royal Hotel a little before three o'clock, ac-
companied by the bard Provost and Bailie Man-
ners, and visited the Parliament House. After
walking through the different Courts, he went
into the ball of the Writers to the Signet, with
which he seemed much pleased. Between three
and tour o'clock he proceeded in his own car-
riage, to the Palace ot Holyroodhousc, and pass-
ed through all the public apartments, after which
he returned to tic Royal Hotel.
Yesterday, ghost one o'clock, his Excellency
visited the Castle. He went into the Crown-room
and saw the Regalia of Scotland, and atterwards
inspected the different pat ts of the garrison. His
Excellency appeared highly pleased with the dress
and appearance ot a small body ot Highlanders
now jn the Castle. The Lord Provost, several of
the Magistrates, Sir Thomas Bradford, K.C.B.
with-Iris Staff, accompanied his Excellency. The
day was rather thick, which greatly obscured the
fine view to be seen ram that elevated spot. From
the Castle his Excellency went to Leith, and
viewed the new docks, pier, Bu_.. and before re-
turning to the Royal Hotel, his- CarOage drove
through all the,principal streets of the New Town.
• This day his Excellency will visit the :general
RegiSter Univetsity, Herint'a
Hospi-
tal. &c. aud..;, We understand, lie will dine with
the Lord ProvOsto-morrow, atter which he will
visit the Pantheon).
His Excellency is a stout man, rather above
the middl,-size,, of a sallow complexion, pier-
cing black eyes, black hair, and a long blAck
beard. He was dressed in his national costume,
in rich crimson satin; and a fine large sash of the
same colour, with a highly finished dirk, with a
large diamond in the centre of the hilt. His
coach is very neat, painted a bright yellow, and
the door pannels are adorned with the inpignia of
the Royal Persian Order of the Sim and Lion, en-
circled with a large star.—(Edinburgh Courant,

EAST INDIA INTELLIGENCE.

CALCUTTA, MAY l2.—:although the tranquillity
of Ceylon still continues undisturbed by any optn
acts of rebellion, the accounts from that qoarter
are of such a nature as cat, scarcely authorize an
eotite confidence in the present stare of the country.
An inclination appears to have been manifested'by
the Boodhist priests to afford shelter to the laie Pre-
retitle,, who is represented as a wanderer at the
date of the last accounts in \Vellas•e and Lower
Ouva. The conduct of some other individuals
had likewise appeared suspicious in the eyes of the
Governn►ent, which had succeeded in securing the
persons of some, and taken measures for• the ap-
prehension of others. Among the former were
the Weonia, or Muilianse, of Numere, another
rebel of the name of Katekel, and some others of
inferior note.

In a late excursion to Kurrukponr-bills, in the
neigh boot hood of Mongeer, Col. Ft anklin, who
has already thrown considerable light on oriental,
antignilies, by his indefatigable labours in tracing
the situation of the ancient city of Palibothra,
is said to have discovered a Colossal Jeyn sta-
tue in tie immediate, neighbourhood of the ancient
city Jeynnagbur, situated at the distance of shout
nine miles to the south-west of Souvujgurh, a
Flace well known 'to those who have frequented
that part of the Ganges flowing between the towns
of liar and Mongeer. The remains of this venera-
ble city, we believe, were first noticed by an offi-
cer belonging to the Invalid, establishment of
.Mongeer.

THE CKLNIINAL LAW.

Mr. WILEIERFORCE rose to present a Petition, te which
he implored the attention of the House, nut only on account
ot the importance of the subject, but also because of the
chs-
racier of the Petitioners. It was from certain Members of
the Society of Friends, praying the House to mussed to the
revision of the Laws oil 'the Sratllte Book, which impose the
punishment of death. In presenting this Petition he could
. not but advert to the exemplary character Of that clasS of
persons. from
.whom it came. He could never forget that
they had been the first to call on the Parliament to pat iui
end to the Sluice Trade, at a time when it had attracted little.
of the general attention. it seemed of this Society that they
abjured all hostility only for the purpose of waging a more
vigorous war against every thing tending to injure their
fellow-creatures. The subject of this Petition was in itself
must important; and it was impossible to advert to it in
this House without remembering the signal exe!.tions in be-
half of humanity in this particular, by a distingoishell turn
who was noW no more. mongall the ohiigations which llLltna-
uity owed to that eminent person, there was none greater than
that dne to his unwearied exertions for the reformation of
our criminal code. He could not but hope that 'so good ti
cause would still find many supporters in this House. In
truth, it was to he regretted, that notwithstanding all that
haul been written and all that had been done from the lime
"of Mr. Howard, that so many of our most revolting laws re-
mained unchanged. It seemed as if a remedy was despaired
of, although all experience, proved that many were attain-
able. The spirit of uncertainty in our criminal law had
pr.ydneed the_ most miserable consequences. It had induced
criminals of the more depraved class tt'r a system of gambling
on their liVes• He remembered to have heard Judge Buller
mention instances of .the extent to which this horrible prim--
lice had been carried He trusted that some one, whose ac-
quaintance with the law would give efficiency to his endea-
vours on this subject, would turn his attention to it. nub
effect of the two different systems, of rigour and of endea•
yonring to reform the moral character, were before us. It
was an inhunian mistake to say that 'arty offender could he SO
depraved a, to be beyond the appeal of all principles and
motives. The reformation of the Criminal Law was a sub-_
ject which had attracted the attention of Mr, Pitt, and if that'
great man had lived, it was his intention to have taken eff;c-
tual steps to accomplish that great work,
The Petition from the Society of Friends (Quakers), as
mentioned by Mr. Wilberforce, was then received and tend,
and ordered to lie on the table.

Lord CASTLEREAGH, apprehensive that the Report

NEW LATAKOO.

This new Colony is about three days jour•
ney nearer to Griqua-Town than the old city
visited by Mr. Campbell in 1813, and about nine
hundred miles north of Cape Town. The last
Misisionary Report stated their removal to the
Krooman River, and having commenced prepara-
tions for a new Settlement, it was very much their
wish to build the new town on the site of the ori-
ginal Latakoo, the scenery of which is peculiarly
beautiful, not being surpassed even by that of
Makoon's Kraal. ‘Vhen the King, however, and
Chiefs' arrived, there appeared insurmounta-
ble obstacles against that project. It seems,
at the old city on the Krooman, many persons
had formerly died of the small liox, therefore,
it was unclean; the people had also been driven
away by the Caffr es, therefore it was unfortunate.,
For these reasons, the force of which may
not appear to many in this country, it was re-
solved,—that the new town should be erected
about two miles and a half lower down the river;
here several dwellings;had subsequently been built
of camel-thorn. The foundation of a chapel
had been laid, which was to be built of.camek
thorn poles and reeds ; a store-house had
been begun. The water of the Kroonaan,
after great labour, bad been led out of the ad-
jacent lands, and several sacks of corn sown. On
the whole there appeared a very favourable pro-
spect of a permanent settlement at New Latakoo.
The King, Maurine, his two Chiefs, and the
Queen constantly attend the Christian worship;
and many of the liriotchnanas attend the meet-
ings foi religious conversation, whose observa-
tions discover marks of sound understanding and
no inconsiderable knowledge of religion. One of
them, an old man, named Classe, lately died
at this station, of whose genuine piety and
happy death no doubt appeared to be enter-
tained. Of these Chiefs, one is accustomed to
call his people together, and to pray with them
every morning. Mrs. Hamilton, the wife of an
English resident, has taught the children to sew
and knit.

draw a line of dislinction between the professed
iniggism of The Chronicle and jaeobinism, but
we confess, that while it seems disposed to let
the Radical Reformers, as they stile themselves,
but who are in reality Rebels, _ 7'raitors,
and Murderers, to have their course unimped-
ed by Law, we must consider the distinc-
tion as visionary, and either impute the
same principles to The Chronicle, or suppose that
it is lamentably deficient in judgment, and the
power of estimating probable events. But The
Chronicle, after condemning, without scruple, the
conduct of Government, affects a spirit of candour,
and says, "We are unwilling to prejudge the cause
of any class of men, and till we hear the state-
ment which the Magistrates will put forth, we
Shall abstain from any positive opinion." This is
wholly inconsistent with all its previous reason-
ing, if reasoning it may be called, and betrays
confusion of mind, incorrigible prejudice, or Hill-
colons hypocrisy.

All was quiet throughout the day.

A Court of Directors of the East India Com-
pany was held yesterday, when a new Commission
of Government was agreed upon for Madras, ap-

threatened meeting on Kennington Common.
CAUTION.—A great many robberies have been
committed at the East end of the !own, and the
adjoining villages for some time past, by a
set of thieves, who disguise themselves in the
dress of glaziers. They perambulate in couples
through the principal streets, and where they
see a pane of glass cracked, one of them car-
rying a rule in his hand, knocks at the door ; it
the servant opens it, he takes care to invire it
her master is at home, awd if answered iu the
negative, he then tells her the gentleman or-
dered him to mend a window, and he came to
measure the pane. If the master is at home,
he apologizes, saying he made a mistake, but
otherwise, he readily gains access, and con-
trives to hand out something valuable to his com-
.panion, who carries it off. Amongst the sufferers
by this species of plunder, are Nicholas St. Croix,
Esq. of Hackney, to Whose house, a few days ago,
a sham glazier gained admittance, and stole a
valuable gold watch, and a large silver tea-pot out
of the parlour. Several Gentiemens' houses at
Islington, Whitechapel, and Sr. Catherine's, have
been robbed of placc and Wtifirin apparel in a
aituilat manner.

the loss of several lives.
" Coburg Coach Office, Two o'clock Tuesday."
" All is peaceable in Manchester at present.—
There was a little disturbance this morning, but

nothing of any consetinonce.
" Defiance Coach Office, Two o'clock Tuesday."

A rumour has, however, reached us, that three
persons were shot in the course of the disturbance
which took place on Tuesday morning, and that
crowds were assembling in various parts of Man-
chester towards the evening of Tuesday.
‘Ve learn that the Member of the Manchester
Yeomanry Cavalry, who ‘vas shot. and who was
stated in the Manchester Papers to have expired
in the Infirmary, is on the contrary much better,
and likely to recover.
It is said that Mr. Hunt, before the meeting
took place, repaired to the Magistrates to know
whether they had any warrants against him, and
that he was answtred in the negative. It has
been observed, too, that the Magistrates de-
clared dm former meeting illegal, but did not de-
clare the meeting of Monday illegal, from which
an inference was drawn, that it was perfectly
legal.
