rest :—The Ellison whaler, of Hull, is arrived

with advices of her arrival there with the

Discovery Ships, on their return, in lat-

Tnt WHIM—We have continued our e-xtract
this d'ay from Mr. Nrcnor.t.Vs Work, and have inserted
observations "on the state of Parties in England." 114
display much good sense, and genuine patriotism, and Wd
an interesting comment on the conduct of the Opposill°11:
In addition to our observations of yesterday, respecting C'(
duplicity of that Party on the two greet question, °
Popery, and Parliamentary Reform, and the selfish
tires which regulate their conduct upon them, we cA'll
only say further; that we have ever beets at s
to know upon what foundation the Opposition rest their eli4:4
to public confidence and esteem. " They eomplaiii;" 61'
Mr. Nicitot.t.s, " but unjustly; for they Bare no right to el.'

ESTIMATE OF PROPERTY.—In our Extinct:4,
from the Morning Papers of yesterday, a Pnj
graph was inadvertently taken from The ger";o
relative to the property of Sir WILLIAM Se°
and the late Mr. CAVENDISH, in which thers
obviously a most extravagant estimate of the tr,".
perty of both. Such paragraphs are often wriS,
without any illiberal intention, but they are gePTt,
rally very indiscreet, and arg calculated to
cite unpleasant feelings in the parties conceo.o
Yet it is too commonly found in private
to excite surprise, that assertions are made 4,
specting property by those who can have D 0 4),„'
portunity of forming any probable judgrnent'.e
For ourselves, we do not presume to have P-tit
slightest knowledge on the present subjert 1",0
we are assured, and indeed are desired I,
good authority to say, that the estimate of
CAVENDISH'S property is grossly exagger
as there are many individuals in this Cf,
lent Country whose wealth is much more /jeer
tensive than what he possessed. •As to the et,o,
Gentleman, whose name has been improperV /for
troduced on the occasion, such is our respect
his high talents, attainments, and reverea fr-,0
racter, that we sincerely wish his possessw-e
were indeed fully eqUal to what has been 60 g
nerously, but so ridiculously, assigned to hilm
of
