The‘ attendance of buyers was .exceedingly, numerous; and,
considering the. extensive sales recently effected in the Loudon
market, chiefly of colonial :wool; which sold at .a material, de,
cline, the result of the above sales,. in this market, fully
equal -to the expectations of the,. proprietors. The -first sale.
consisted of 1,231, bales of Australisn,,and all sold; the con-.
dition of .a large proportion, was • but indifferent, attributed to
want of water in .some, of the• districts.in the colony, which too
frequently-occurs; :consequently there was much dirt, giving
the wool a. dingy appearance... There was also ,grass heed nit
'burs in some parcels, circumstances tending
.materially .to de•
preniate the. value: these causes,,however, to the -dry.*astms
are unavoidable, though the colonists are welj.-aware -that our
buyers give,eyery encouragement as to prices, when the fleeces
are sent in good. condition and .of flue staple. The particulars

SOUTH WARWICKSHIRE ELECTION.

CONSERVATIVE DINNER.
SOUTHAM, Monday. Night, Sept. 26.—A public dinner took
place this day at this place, at which the freeholders and electors
of the Southam district of South Warwickshire met to celebrate
the; return of Mr. Shirley to parliament. The success of the
conservative cause at the late election is mainly
.attritnitable to
theireaction that.has taken place among the electors of this dis-
trict, and to their great exertions,, especially on the part of the
farmers, on behalf of Mr. Shirley. When-the county was con-
tested in-183Z' Sit Q. Skipwith had a majority in this district of
268 over Mr. Shirley, whereas at the late election Mr. Shirley
obtained a majority of. 19 over his former successful opponent
Sir,G. Skipwith. ..11,1oSA of the clergy,and gentry, and the inde-
pendent yeomanry; professingconservative principles, and resi-
ding in the neighbourhOod, attended, and the Assembly-room of
the. Crgien Arms, where the dinner took -place, was fitled-to
.excess.
After the removal of the cloth,. the chairman, Mr. 11. Ca-
nning, roposed the following teasts;," Church and king23

with. pleasure by them, as indeed they were greatly indebted to
him, .he .had come forward in tne hour of need,. and rescued
their county out of the hands of a faction. (Cheers.) )-le had
come forward to rescue them from a party hostile to the best in-
terestsand institutions of the country, at atime when .he was under a severe domestic affiction, and in, his wishto
support his country's goodhadquitted the retirement of private
life and consented.to sit as, their representative and breathe the
impure air of the House,of Commons.. He (Mr. Canning). paid
impure air, for, when he saw the-characters of many of, those
who, complied, the
,majority, of that house, and.witnessed.their
tonduct,he was sure therereeuldhe no, purity. where they ,were.,
(Cheers., Every conservative ought to feel obliged to. Mr.
Shirley. for coming.forvvard as,he had done to serve his country
at such a time.. His conduct indeed merited the highest appro-
bation of .his countrymen generally, and more especially of the
people of Warwickshire. He begged to propose the health of
Mr. Shirley, their. respected representative. • (Loud cheers.),
The Chairman next proposed the , glorious majority of 525
honest,-independent electors who had- returned Mr. Shirley to,
parliament. - (Loud cheers.) The -conservatives never -would
be slaves to any faction; they ever had been, and ever .would
be, independent in principlei and would always-act up to the-
principles which they professed, and what they said they would
do they meant to'execute. :He had seen-in the public prints,
that-upon the next occasion their opponents were to reduce the
majority -they had:against them. Thisit was alleged was to be
donehy the sinews of war." He had not heard where these
sinews of mar were to be obtained, unless indeed the mint :had
orderato stamp some for them, but even their cause would .be
hopeless, as the principles of the conservatives werenothe sold.
The people were nn, longer. to he,deluded .by,the,specious.-pros
mises of these liberals, who.proffered, much; but performed no-.
thing.: He was sure the majority_of,s2s of the electors of War-.
wickshire were too settled in their opinions,- that not. even the
master, of the mint could alter them: . (Cheers.). He . therefore.
begged to propose the glorious majority of 525 honest and eons,,
scientious electors who had returned Mr. Shirley to parliament.-
- (Loudicheers) . .
The Chairman said, he should next propose -the health. of -a
body,of, men who were, in a,peeuliar degree entitled :to the gra-
titude otthat meeting, asthev had ever fearlesslyand zealously
performed their:duty--"Thißishop and clergy of the diocese."
(Laud ;cheers.): „
The;Rev. 11.• Bidtluiph, returned, thanks :on-behalf-of. the.
bishop and clergy of the diocese. It wasanost gratifying to hiny
as he Nta*sure it wouldhsto his clerical brethren,, to receive
such a flattering testimony of approbation irons that most lee,
pectableimurnerous„andindependent.body of,electois. It had
beenseserted that the mewhera of. the -church .had had. duties-,
to attend to than to interfere with elections... When so many .
persons were openly attacking the church, not only in the
House of Commons out in the public prints—when their oppon-
ents were striving by all.the means within their power to des*:
troy the church, well knowing that if they could subvert 'the'.
church, the state would lie an easy key, it was the duty, of every,
reflecting man to come forward and use every effort to avert.
such a (*eternity. (Ctvers,) The interest of the church and
state were:So ultimately. blended,. that together they must stand '
or ttigether they must tall. .1-le.begged to thank tJie.tii, and to
assure them that•upon every ocCasieu which would': pot inter-
fere with-his parochial duties he 'should always be ready to 'refl.-
der,liis best assistance,to forward the cause upon which so much
depended. ~(Cheers.)

:It.was, however, a ,source of.

determined to do their duty, and not to be led astray by public
clamour, but to render justice even-handed,—,an independent'
branch of the legislature which was not allied to any party, but,
which legislated solely for the country's good. To the House.of,

and the Horse of Peers. (Cheering for some time.) -
The Chairmatenext proposed the health of Sir It. Peel and
the Conservative members of the House of Commons. (Loud
cheers.)
The Chairman said, a m.otien was on the book,which had for
its'ohject the disfranchisement of ,all the fai'mers of England.
The marqpis or ch4rido, at the passing of• the ref4nr; bill, in-
froduced a dense by which the £5O renter was enabled to vote
or the election of members of parliament. A Mr; •Wilks, it
appeared, objected to' a .£5O tenant having this vote; upon what'
grounds he (the Chairman.) could not tell; for, as a subject of
the realm, having property at stake, he could not see upOn what
Principle.such a man should be disfranchised, unless, indeed,' it

Numerous other toasts were drunk in the course of the even-
