WORTHING, FEB. 2.—The season here is
still in its prime; balls and parties continue to occupy the
attention of the fashionable visitors; and, as yet, it would
not appear that the commencement of the season in Lon-
don had at all diminished the attractiveness of this pretty
watering-place.
SHEFFIELD CONCERTS.—The last of the
series of Concerts, which, during the present season, have
been given to aid the purposes of charity in Sheffield, took
place on Thursday and Friday evenings. They were
attended by an assemblage of rank and fashion seldom
brought together. On the first night there were present
530, and on Friday evening 570, in the saloon.
PRIVATE THEATRICALS IN HIGH LIFE.—
Lord and Lady DAcaE have resumed this year those enter-
tainments, at their splendid seat, the Hoo. The arrange-
ments of the present season were precisely similar to those
of last year. The first performance was on Thursday even-
ing.d' The piece perforrued, which was in four acts, was
Pornps and Vanities. The plot turns on the adventures
of several of the male characters to possess the hand of Lady

Ladyship draws with a strong vigorous pencil. 'the Epi-
logue, also her Ladyship's composition. was well delivered

BALL AT EARL GROSVENOR'S, EATON
HALL.—The Annual Ball and Supper was given to his
numerous agricultural tenants, at Eaton Hall, by the Earl
of GROSVENOR, on Thursday evpning. Trprwopn four and
five o'clock every road approaching this magnificent house
through the park was crowded with parties approaching
the Hall. Substantial. refreshments were provided for
them, with plenty of ale. About • seven o'clock dancing.
commenced. About eight o'clock Lord GROSVENOR
visited the scene of mirth,, and cheerfully addressed the
company. Lord , and Lady. BEiGRAVE and the Hon.
Roam Gaos'verroe. and-two or three' friends, on a visit at
the Hall, took partners from among the lasses, and became
parties in the gay dance:..At eleven supper was commenced
in the Steward's room, where tables were spread for 100
persons at a time. Four times successively did the pleased
guests set-to at the viands ; after Which dancing was again
renewed till about two o'clock, when the company begin
•to separate. Lord and Lady GaosvExoa, and Lord and
Lady teLccivE are expected to leave the Castle early next
week for London.

A STRICT DISCIPLINARIAN.— A farmer,
at a village in this neighbourhood, was charged with a series
of assaults upon his female servant. The girl stated that
on the 19th instant she was sent to a shop, and not return-
ing so soon as she was expected, her master horsewhipped
her. On Saturday forenoon, she was sent to the bake-
house. After she came back, her mistress hid her take off
her gown, which she neglected to do. Her master then
horsewhipped her again. She went out, intending to go
to a Magistrate, but thinking it too late, returned. Her
master then turned her out three times ; and when she
asked for her pelisse and
pattens, he horsewhipped her, tied
her hand and foot, and, assisted by the man,
carried her to
the granary. At eight o'clock next morning be untied
her, and she went into the house to get gleaned. He then
took her-to-the village prison, where she was confined from
ten in the morning till seven in the evening. Next morning
she obtained a summons against him, at Beverley ; and,
about the same time, he procured one against her for absent-
ing herself from his service. The defendant gave bail for
his appearance at the Sessions, as the Magistrates would not
suffer the affair to be compromised..:-Thiti kkertiser.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 5, 1828.

HiS MAJESTY holds a Council thix-afternOon
at Windsor, at which Mr. FRANKLAND 'LEWIS
Will be sworn in a Privy Councillor.

A writ for electing a Knight to serve in Par-
liament for Edinburghshire, in the room of Sir
GEORGE CLERK, was this morning issued from
the Crown Office, as also a writ for a citizen of
the City of Bath, in the room of the Earl of
BRECK NOCK.

The Election of a Member to serve in Par-
liament for the borough of Weymouth and
Melcombe Regis, in the ,room of the Right
Hon. THOMAS WALLACE, now Lord WAL-
LACE, is fixed for Saturday, the 9th inst.

The election of a Member to serve in Par-
liament for the borough of Woodstock, in the
room of Lord ASHLEY, will take place on Fri-
day, the Bth inst.

i
The Morning Post of yesterday published,
in the shape of a Leading Article, what all must
pronounce to be nothing more than a most
humble petition in favour of the boroughs of
reinpt and East Retford, or, in short, of all
boroughs, which by gross
and flagrant vena-
lity, may subject themselves to the pains and
penalties of disfranchisement. We will cheer-
fully admit that it contains somewhat of
argument, but it is merely the " argu-
mentunt ad honzinem." The authority of
Mr. CANNING is quoted by --, the
Morning Post ! Now, if there be a single
point on which we could venture to enter a pro-
test against the opinions of that great man, it is
on the subject of Parliamentary Reform, and
the Disabilities of Dissenters. We have as
much abhorrence for Radicals as it is P°'6Pole
for any human being to feel, and, during
the period of the French
Revolution, we
should have opposed, without exception, every
species of innovation. But surely, the case is
now altered, and it is impossible not to regret,
and regretting not to wish altered,
that state of
things, under which such large and populous
towns as Manchester and Birmingham appear
unrepresented in Parliament. We say appear,
for we are not of the number who - consider
the duties of a Member of Parliament narrowed
to the business of promoting the exclusive in-
terests of the particular Borough or County for
which he sits. We therefore, regard Bir-
mingham and Manchester as virtually repre-
sented in.thelioUseof Commons, and that the

interests of the cotton or iron" trade gre no ways
compromised by the absence of the Members
which these towns might return.
But, whatever it might have been -in former
tithes, none will deny that the elective frhnchise
is highly valued in the present day,—and not to.be
nominally as well as virtually represented is a
palpable and serious grievance. The difficulty,
however, is to find a remedy, and as objections
may exist to all the sweeping plans which 'have
been proposed, there seems the greater necessity
for achieving what is confessedly desirable, when
it can be effected without the sacrifice of any
general principle, or the
.introduction of
any new and possibly dangerous precedent. Now
none will pretend in the face of facts, that there
is any novelty in disfranchising a borough con-
victed of gross corruption, and in transferring
the franchise to some other place which the wis-
dom of Parliament may select. It has been
done so lately in the case of Grampound that,
without any historical research, all must be aware
of the fact.

Here, then, two other boroughs .have bee❑
convicted of similar transgressions, and the op-
portunity presents itself of doing what all
must confess to be desirable, namely, .con-
ferring. the dignity of being reprrnonted in
PaJiament on two of the principal towns in the
Empire, at present without any representation in
that assembly. We do not say that no objec-
tion or difficulty can exist, but we can at present
see none. The object is avowedly desirable,
and the means of attaining it safe and constitu-
tional. The only possible doubt is as to the
amount of venality which ought to subject a
community to the loss of such privileges, and
here we think that a Committee of the House
arc the best judges whether corruption has been

confined to a few, or has been so general and
flagrant as to give a stamp and character to the
whole community.
We may add, in 'conclusion, our perfect con-
viction that, by anxiously taking fair and consti-
tutional advantage of all such cases, Parliament
will not only consult its own, dignity, but•will
do more to thwart the impious purposes of the
Radical Reformer, than by any arbitrary exercise
of that absolute power with which it is in-
vested for the benefit of the nation,- Decapitate
and imprison all the HUNTS and COBBiTTS
now in existence, and others Will presently spring
up, if an unbending front be opposed to all
proposals for even repairing. theliecessary rava-
ges of time on. the British Constitution.' But
take the work out of their ruffian hands,- and not
into
ouly will those creatures sink insignificance,

but, free from ally internal danger arising from
their machinations, the venerable edifice, of the
Constitution will hide its head; like Vin Git's
Fame, among the clouds, and far exceeding, as
a moral structure, that material one
" Which builders vain,
Prestimptuous pil'd on Shinar's plain ;"

will endure, "sere perennius," to the latest
ages, the proudest monument of human wisdom,
Under the guidance and protection of Heaven.
