assure- your lordship, that it affords them the highest gratification
to find that you are able to oppose, to the envenomed shafts of ,
Malice and party spirit, the Impenetrable shield of constious Lino-

view of every individual in the British empire, as it now does in

Stit—Amongst all the oecutrences of my life, I can call to my
memory no one, which has produced so great a degree of ex& A.
Lion in my brca• t, as this, which, through a channel I M highly
esteem, I as been communicated to me, that, after all the ma-
chiastions of corruption (bringing into play her choicest agents)
have peen able-to effsct against me, the citizens of Westminster
have, with tfliailintous voice, pronounced me worthy of continuing
to be one of their Reptcsentatives in Parliament.
Merely to be a Member of the House of Commons (as now
made up) i. something too meagre to be a gratification to me; but
when I ;ilea on that' owe of country, that devaion to trfedom,

and justice. which have invariably marked the proceedings of the

made the Colleague how am Ito express, en the one hand, my

cause..f .h.s, tome most grstifying result, I am in no apprehension
as to Ike opijous and feelings of the world, and especially et the
peo...e o. England; who, though t hey may be occasionally misted,
are ni err d.liberately cruel or unjust. Only let it he said of me,
The Studs Exchange have attired—Lord Etlenborough has

and I shall be proud -n stand in the calendar of criminals all the

sitneists to my constituents at large, I cannot refrain troinkegging
you anti the other Gentlemen of the Committee, to accept et my

The Freedom of the Town of Hamilton was on
Friday voted to Lord Cocintaxx, who there passed
the early part of I.is life.
Tuesday morning, the following dreadful accident
occurred at the Powder Mills of Mr. Laurence, ot Bat-
tle, in Sussex. A quantity of powder exploded in the
corning and drying-house, by which the building andi
• . three men, who were at work therein, were blown,
coin parati vily, to atoms. The other erections employ-
e i the manufactory, were but little damaged. In
collnzing the mangled remains of the untortunate
sufferers, named John Sinocr, Philip Man, and John
• Eldridge, sen. the heart of one of them was found en-
tire, and quite detached from any other part of the
body. They were all married men, and one had
worked in the mill upwards of :30 years. The con-
' cussion produced by the explosion (which no one can
account for) was felt several miles from the spot.
