" During. the 'Prince Regent's late cruise, an in-
terestlPg occurrence. took place, Which, while it
reflects itifinite'credit On the feelings of his Royal
Highness, is well worthy Of Teeing recorded on the'
JdornalS of oar Navy. A. little Midshipman of
the Hyperion, .the Commodore of his escort, made.,
a visit to the Yacht, for the purpose of presentii,g
to the•Princs. Regent a small Treatise, that was
dedicated by permission 'to his-late•illustrions and
much lamented. Daughter. TnisOlanual hatl ireen.
expressly vrti,ten by a relative of .the young gen-
tleman; for his own jnvenile lust; ortion. It was
gracionsly-aceepted- by hi% Royal Ellghness on the
quarter-deck, who, in the presence of the Ladies
and :G,ntlemen, by whom he was snrronnded,
shook the Younker 'by-the hand in the kindest
atkil 'nost doedial manner. Atter askirtgirim ,o sic
questioiS 'adapted to his years, the Princ• Regent-
consigned him to the arentions of Sir Edmond
Nagle. The gallant Admiral. bV command of Ids
Royal Highness, then conducted the little Sailor
to the state room, and afterwardS to the cabin,
where he was regaled «itlt oil sorts of refresh-
tn(hts. If any thing could heighten the well
known suavity anti condescension of the Protee
Regent, it would be the ease and affability t‘ith
which his Royal Highness teceived this youthful
Officer; thns at once relieving his mind from that
apprehension and ernbarrassment, the novelty of
'his situation was calculated to create. . The little,
fellow went through the ceremony of, so distin-
guished an interview, with a freedom from coati •
ski), ivhielt bespoke his being accu'tomed to the
very best society ; and, indeed, that was scarcely
to be expected from his tenderness of years. The
witue of the yot'ng tar, who appears to be about
13, is Alfred' Nelson Fairman. He is a son, we
tsuderstand„of Colonel Fairman, a Gentleman well
known in the Lit et ary- and Polk i 0.41 Circles, as the
Author of various patriotic and popular tracts.
‘tihen on board the 'fiber last year, this same
tle hoy attracted the attention 'of the Plinee and
Princess of Hombourgh, the Lord Bishop of Sa-
lisbUry and fonily, who made some aquatic trips in
that ship, and by all of whom he was much caress-
ed. lie is a Prrilege, it seems, of the Prince Leo-
pold, and the Duke of Sussex, and bids fair to
become au honour to the service he has selected
for his profession, being.now on his way to South
America, tinder the immediate auspices of Sir
Thomas Hardy: Is it tog much to indulge thus
iu our observations on a mere child under such
circumst'an'ces' We think not, if, however, it he,
as we took the opportunity of saying, in our no-
tice of him, orb a former occasion, to ourselves
alone be ascribed the fault !"

The Theological Tract in question has since
come under oor view. lit this heretical age, the
Extract we subjoin truth tote Introduction to the

" As a Protestant Princess, the following sheets
inay nut, perhaps, be considered on‘vorthy of your
illu.trions sanction. They are calculated, it_ is
hoped, to establ.sh both religious and moral
habits in the mind of the rising generation, a rice
ut people who will' probably be yowl- Ropi High-
ness's subjects. At a crisis like the present, when
the Church of Eng Lind is tottering with decay,.
and Morality is fast !Hiring front her supporting

forcibly inculcated with tbo dawning (acuities.
Early impressions, it is well
,known, form the
character-or man. It is therefore of vast impor-
tarter to Wald) the infant Reason as it grows, and
I'4y the fonodation of Chtistiaoity from the

then, in all probability, cease to vibrate on. our

,No one will petition. for a change of Minivers,
witliUet having some object in view, to be effect-
ed •by that change,_ Redieetls will expect
that Parliamentary: Reform should take the lead
of every other coesideratioo ; but we fear, not-
withstending , the " Whigs of Yorkshire" have
disgraCed themselves, by what we must consider a
hypocritical coMpromise, that, he.csiever they may
he Melined to avail them Selves of their assistance
to shove Minister's front their seals, the followers
of Major Cartwright,' aod his pnitils Hunt and
Co. will find but few Advocates-'in the Legis-
lature of !heir country. An Essay was published
in the Edinburgh Review, previous to the laSt
Session of Parliament, which has Leeen publicly
attributed (and the fact was never denied), to the
pen of Mr. Brougham. it certeinly, if not ►wit
tan by that Gentleman, proceeded from some in-
divideal high io the coofideote of the party, and
may be coosidered.es _containing -their creed, on
the subject otneform. l'he writer, in:enumerat-
ing some. of the causes of that jealousy with
which the Radicals viewed the Whigs, says--

ly, and upon. long .reflection, averSe so all Par-
liamentary Reform whatever ; none of them were
advocates of Universal Suffrage; anal the great
majority .of them, though sincerely at:ached to a
moderate and tational system. of _Relot rn, refused
toAegard that, or any other question, as alone
deserving of attention, and to satoilice obits pro-
eitoion all other objects. A few of the pary.had,
in the course of time, so far altzred their opiniows
on the-subject, not so far as to oppose Reform, hot
only to consider it as less vitally important than
they lied once 'deemed it."-e-Coople, the alinee
specification of the divisions into which the Whig
party is split, on the quest ion of Itilotin, with
the abuse they have frequently sho;eered upon qte
Radicals.t, (whom the above writer observes,
they " have too long allowed to triumph, by
treating them with an ill-judged contetnv;")
and, we think, the latter can form tin reasonable
hope of any countenance or. protection,. front a
change in the administration of their country.
Thai the Whigs should avail themselves of the
effervescence of the zeal of.that portion of the po-
pulace, who think. that the meeting at Manchester
was legal, and the conduct of the Magistrates il-
tlgal.; that they shoteid make use even of those
whoni they have branded as '' the lowest and most
igno'raut.pett of the Contritonity,"—for the fur-
-1 therance of their schemes of anebition ; is not to
he wondered at, when we find their oracle, in the
memorable essay already quoted, asking " who
can seriously maintain, that we ought-nicely to
investigate the grounds of each man's.sopport,
who is willing to take tier part r and stigmatis-
in., as " wiseacres or pet itaes," those who "4th-

without asking to ‘vhat it may be owing." But

augurs et degree of credulity, that can scarcely be
accounted itlr.

Those who advocate a more modifi.cd alteration
of our present system, 111 y , however, retort upon
us, and say, that the same authority which we
have biought forward, to spew that the riadical
Reformers have uotl►ing to hope from the Whigs,
also affirms, that " the great majority of that
party► are sincerely attached to a moderate and
rational system-of (reform." We admit this. But
when they find, that on a motion to repeal the
Septennial act, some 14 'or 15 voted in its Vivoni;
when they recollect,- that the Whigs a►e " eti
trcnched up to the ears in i-nten
and that tI►LY protest.. against It( form being
thought of as "a condition sine q►Aa•
which they are to he admitted to office ; we think
even the mOIIE-rate Reformers will not find much
better favour in their eyes Ilion the-Radicals.—

that they v.ould never up their BOrongh in-
fluence; hot Would laugh at the easy credulity of
iivase_who ).4,l,,coulided iu amp.
The grounds on which the,Whigs claim ad.
trtission to office, is g reCrentloneost, and refor-
mation of'abuses." But, is tlie4 any melt` idiot

about either the amount of expetotiture, or the

Burke's famous Bill ;. wiliCli, when he was in Op-

,talents," in 1806, faded from the remembrance I
If it has not,' surely no man can calculate upon'
either" retrenchment or reformation of abuses,"
from a'Whig Ministry.
One of the first acts of that Administration,
was the passing of a Bill to make the first. Lord
of the Treasury, auditor of his Own accounts ;•the'
next—giving.the Chief Justice of Euglatol a seat-
in the Cabinet. They had eensured the financial
treasures of their predecessors in office, as ruinous
and absurd—yet, bad nothing 'to substitute in'
their stead, but a tax on iron, and the extension
of the excise laws to private breweries. The op-.
position to these imposts compelled the‘Chancel-
lor /of 'the Exchequer' (Lord Henry Petty), to
abandon them, but., with respect to the last, he
did it, tinder the express declaration, that " lie
should not give it up, but reserve it for future at-
rangeosentS" lf, i'lier'efore, his Majesty had not
dismiased these wise and .patriinic Counsellors—
the dwelling-houses of his subjects would have
been thrown ()pet! to the vi,itsof excisemen ;—at
least, it wtoild not have been the fault, of the Mi-
nistry, if they were-, not. Under them also, the -
assessed taxes were raised ten -per cent. ; the Pro.
pert y Tax, Which they had Particularly denounced
was (nips-rented, 011(1 collected in a manner niuct
more objectionable than under their predecessors;
they converted the office of Gazette writer of Scot-
land, which had before been pet formed gratui-
tously, into a place of patronage, with a salary of
3001. per annum ; and conferred it out one of their
adherents ; and spewed their regard for the ser-
vices rendered to the cause, by the Editor of The
Morning Chronicle, by appointing him to the office
of Secretary to the Batrack-board, with a salat y
of 12001.-per annum. These were souse of the
fruits of Whig policy;—without reckoning their
nomination of three hundred surveyots of taxes ;
raising the salary of the first Lord of the Admi-
ralty, &c. &c.
During Mr. Pitt's Administration, they had de.
claimed with great energy against the " iocreas:
ing influence of the Crown," and the useless e,x-
peuditure of the public money, in sinecure places.
To prove their sincerity, on the 10th of Fet;ruary
1807, Mu. liiddulph moved for the appointment
of a Committee '' to consider what 'saving might
be made .by the reduction of useless places, sine-
cure offices, exorbitant tees, and CVL.. y other le-
trenchment that coald be made in the expeudi-
tore of the public money. ' Chancellor of
the Exchequer did,not oppose the motion; but lie
contended', that " in every Country there ought
to be rewards for services performed ;". that " it
was right places should exist lor these purposes,"
but they ought " to be limited to 'their proper
object, and not suffered to run to excess, through
abuse or neglect." So far, so good. But what
followed ?-.--wiry—alotts ithst landing the corruption
and profligacy 'of Mr. Poi's Administration, Lord
Flenty Petty affirmed, " That such • excesses for-
merly existed, -Ise was perfectly aware ; hut, he
reminded the house, that, in a course of 20 years,
[viz. during the whole of Mr. Pat's Ministry] it
had been a constant object to tedine and confine
such places within'propir limits. He was there-
fore disposed not to count much of any reduction
that could be Made in sinecure places and pen-
sinus, if it vrei.e determined not to diminish them
beyond what the' pubfle• dignity and service re-
quit c(I." Need we say another word,•to point out
the inconsistency of Whigs•; or the nature of
that factious oppositiOn which they have mails-
tained for the last 30 years
The F.ssay to %%ilich we have several times
alluded, (Affected to wonder " how such a Mi-
nistry!' as the present " could stand against
such an opposition ;'"'and predicted that the party
iu and out of Parli orient, would, under " proper
.maisagenient" " redder the continuance of the
present system," • (which the writer was pleased
to term one cif " abuse and imbecilityc") a matter
of some difficulty —All„ their etiotts, however,
only ended in their ov.ui :discoitti;ure:----and they
now. present the humiliating spec ache Of a-party,
which, numbering i i ita ranks many Members of
high birth, " ample possesl,ions," most of
whom ate deserving of every-praise in private life
—yet has tot kited the confidence of their Sore-
'viol and the Countty ; and are despised even by
tire very Iladicatalbruivelies.

FOR THE SUN.

TO ALDERMAN ATKINS.

the approbation of good men is the
highest reward of our honest diligence, the re-
proach of bad men is surely its next best testi-
mony. I know not, indeed, whether their ob-
loquy is not even more valuable. You, Sir, have
retired from an exalted and a painful station,
with this testimony, manifested loudly, vehe-
mently, and unceasingly. I do in all sincerity
congratulate you. It is a proof of your worthy
condlict, which posterity will understand and
admit.' You have received the clamorous and
resentful displeasure of the idle, the profligate,
the dishonest, the seditious, and the desperate;
for the unpardonable offence of having overawed
their turbulence and defeated their machinations.
In proportion, Sir, as I congratulate you on
the censure of such persons, I should pity cer-
tain of your predecessors and competitors, who
have been disgraced with their applause, did I
not believe that their principles have desired and

their actions deserved it. The day of your re•

tirement from office was the prOudeit day of your
life ; and, if they properly understood it, the
most shameful day of theirl-s. • ..Yo,‘, acquired, the
approbation of the good anfd the reproach of the
bad ; they, the reproach of the good and the ap-
probation of the bad. Each had, what each
wished and merited. WooD, and WAITEDIAN,
and PARKYNS, may place their pride in being
shouted by a mob, and drawn through the city
by human asses ; but -the saute homage has been
paid to HUNT, and to WaTsoll, and to BURDETT;
and your brother Magistrates are left to the hu-
miliation of its partnership.

Had you, Sir, been visited with the laudatory
howls of the Radicals, you must have looked
around you in astonishment, or hung down your
head in shame. Your friends must have suspend-
ed their own applause, and shrunk from the de-
basing contact. respect your character too
highly to wish that you had been accompanied
on Tuesday with one yell the fewer, one scream
the fainter ; I cannot abate you even one brick-
bat, from the missile salutations of radical
hatred.

If, Sir, you had during your Chief Magistracy
Ministered to the passions of the mob ; had you
stimulated the factious, flattered the weak, and
encouraged the desperate ; had you palliated the
danger which they were preparing, and kept -back
the force which prevented it ; you would have
been very appropriately punished with the fawn.
Digs and the followings of a Common Hall. You

have not done this ; and you are therefore as lip.
Fropriately rewarded with its cursings and pelt-
lugs. l trust that your successor will deserve
the same testimony. If be does, he will assur-
edly receive it.

Again, Sir, I congratulate you; in the full
confidence, that you have not yet ceased to merit
the spleen, and the violence, and the rancour of
that many-headed B9st—the Mob.

PROTEST AOAINiT
TIIE COUNTY MEETING AT HEREFORD.

In consequence of the Meeting which is intend-
ed to be held at Hereford, convened by the Free-
holders and Householders of that County, a
Protest, numerously and most respectably sign-
el, has been made against the said Meeting.—
Amongst the signatures we observe those of
Lord Somers, the Hon. G. J. Hereford, the Hon.
John S. Cocks, the Hon. James S. Cocks, and a
number of other most distinguished characters.—
The following is a copy of the Protest, viz :
" Because we observe that the Meeting is
calculated in its effects to imply censure on a
late loyal and constitutional Declaration of the
Lord Lieutenant and Magistracy Of this Comity,
unanimously resolved and adopted by them at
the last General Quarter Sessions of the Peace,
although they have only therein declared thiir
loyalty to their Sovereign, their attachment
Constitution, and their abhorrence of bias.
!theory, sedition, and tumult ; and notwith-
standing that they carefully avoided all topics
which could possibly be supposed to create any
'difference of sentiment on the subiect. Sc.
coirlly, because the High Sheriff has summoned I
to the intended Meeting Householders, as such,
whomsoever
.respectable, it not Freeholders,
it . is contrary to perieral and approved practi-
ces to convene to a County Meeting ; and further
objectionable, as tending, flow its unlimited
na-
ture, to trench upon the rights of Freeholders, and
to countenance the wild and visionary project of
Universal Suffrage ; and tioa!ly, because the
Meeting in question, though called for the avrits ed
purpose of promoting inquiry, is calcurited to in-
fer criminality against respectable bodies of men,
civil aud military, who are open to the judgment
of the law if they have offended against toe law."

LONDON JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

[Morning Chronicle.]
Private letttrs from France state the alarm
which has been excited by the intlispoe4ion of
the King, -on account of which the- misting of
the two Chambers is-Adjourned. Thei*Prnds have
fallen two per Cent. The alarm arises from the
supposition that when Monsieur. co** to the
throne, he would be inclined to favour the con-
federacy of Sovereigns for rivetting the fetters of
their subjects, and that the system would be at-
tempted to be introduced again into France. Hence
would certainly arise an iniernal ferment, which
would revive the scarcely extinguished embers of a
revolutionary war. Our own Funds sympathized
in the fall, slid considerable gloom hung over the
Stock Exchange, which was solely attributed to
the news from France.

[Morning Pali.)

AN ELOPEMENT IN HIGH LIFE.—A Noble
Family, moving in the very first circles of polite
life, is thrown into a state of great distress, in
consequence of the elopement of an eldest son
with a married Lady. What adds to the affliction
is that the Gentleman has also deserted a wile—
almost in the honeymoon. The parties have hitherto
eluded all search.
