FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 6, 1833.

BY the Ranger, Captain Gray, which arrived yester-
day, we have accounts from Bombay to the 21st of June.
Cotton still maintained its unprecedented high prices.--
Coffee was also advancing considerably, in consequence
of the Pacha of Egypt having monopolized the trad4 of
Mocha, and no nibre being expected to find its way take
Bombay market. The export market continued in a did!
state, particularly for metals.

DANIEL and RAPHAEL—Bow-street and the House of
Correction—must not be allowed to sink into oblivion.
Every day furnishes new illustrations of this most ne-
farious job. As fresh-light is thrown upon it, additional
frauds are detected; and its baseness and demoralising
tendency, as respects other parties, are more clearly de-
veloped, and assume a more repulsive form.
We. beg attention to the following points :—DANIEL
says that on the 21st of June he received information of
the result of the Carlow electiOn froth a cabinet minister.
The 21st of June was a Sunday—a day on which rro
letters are delivered. He received it at half-past three
o'clock—an hour when no mails arrive. The Carlow
election ended on the previous Friday, and consequently
nothing bUt a vigorous express, a life and limb race.
could have carried the news in so short a space of time to
London. Who, then, was the cabinet minister who was
in correspondence with O'CONNELL, and took such an in-
terest in the Carlow election ? It is no matter who he was,
or what is his name. It is sufficient to know that a cabi-
net minister thus played the part of postman to DANIEL-
It is abundantly proved that O'CoNNE44. Ater had at his
-.., . .
disposal the cabinet expresses, or that a minister of the
crown was expending the public money in forwarding
his views or ministering to his desires. The 'intimate
connexion between O'CONNELL and the4pabinet---be-
•tween the traitor and the King's servan Ween the
ta
slanderer of the peers and certain lords, ' ' fibers of the
house he assailed and denounced—is thus clearly proved.
All the art of man cannot clear the government of the
charge of being parties, by one of their members, to the
jobbing transactions of O'CONNELL, if not participators
in his fraud upon RAPHAEL and the electors of Carlow.

tut pass we over this for the present. Deeper guilt
lies behind the scene. The tale is not half told. It 1304 V
turns out that the man 'who plucked and, pillaged the
simpleton, Mr. RAPHAEL—who pocketed sixteen hundred
and fifty pounds of his money, by giving bills at long
dates for that amount, all the while that the ready cash
was conveyed to his own pocket—the man, the bold, bad,
unprincipled man who did this allowed his own son, ein-
phatically called JOHN, to be a member of the committee
before whom the merits of the Carlow election were tp
be tried I

It is hardly credible, but it is a fact, that Joint O'CoN-
NELL, the son of DANIEL, the sun of the man who pocket-
ed RAPHAEL'S two thousand pounds, and who appears in
the correspondence as the regular dun of RAPHAEL fer
the money—who was sent to receive, and-did receive, the
first thousand pounds—who was sent pressingly to rem;'l:.-.
ceive, and did receive, the second thousand pounds—this
very person, with the second thousand pounds in his
pocket, was elected one of the committee to try the
merits of the petition. His election by ballot, it is
true, might have been matter of chance; but chance did k
not compel him to sit in a case in.which his father was so
deeply concerned, and of whose pecuniary connexion t
with it he was the best witness. He had received RA
PHAEL'S money in the name and on account of his father
—he knew the whole bearings of the case—he knew that
bribery and corruption was at the bottom and on all sides
of it—and yet he sits in judgment upon a petition of
which he could not possibly be an honest or impartial
adjudicator!
Can such things be without our special wonder ? What
an afflicting lesson does a father here set to his son ! Hew'
dead must his moral feelings have been when he permit-
tea his own son to be witness of his baseness and venality
What must such a son, if trained in the paths of honour
and christian duty, have thought of the author of his pc-
ing—who could make him an instrument to recover tiW.
price of crime—to stain his hands with filthy bribes, 0.0
then suffer him to sit as a juror in a matter where his fa-',
titer's interest was so touchingly concerned! We cannot
dwell on such baseness. It is far beyond ordinary depra-
vity. It is inexpressibly disgusting.
But such are the facts to which the attention of parlia-
ment must be called as soon as it meets. The transaction
must be sifted to the bottom. If there be any justice in
England, O'CONNELL'S connection with Ilatofaet. end
the Carlow election must be the subject of strict investi-.
gation. We dare the ministry to screen him. The peo-
ple of England will demand a true search-warrant and &
full inquiry into the matter. Who is the corrupt jobber,
the seat seller, and the vender of boroughs and counties,
must be proved and made plain to the meanest under'
standing. Whep this is done, justice will be done, but
not otherwisa. But from all appearancei, and consider—
ing the atrocious circumstances of the case, we suspect
that DANIEL O'CONNELL will not have the hardihood to
meet parliament. Will ministers make him an Trish
judge? They dare not. A judge, indeed ! If so, the
tread-mill and the hulks would be the road to the bench '•

We are sorry that it is not yet in our power to lay be'
fore our readers a correct list of the radical aspirants for
the high honour of being members of the privy council,
to the future mayors of Liverpool. Since the unforto.
nate expayt: at the Clarendon Rooms, some time agog tho
.
members of the reform association have kept such close`
watch upon us, and, with characteristic suspicion, uP°°.
each other also,-that few of the set. ets of -that prison'
house have oozed out, But little jealousies, bickeringst
and envyings naturally engender ill blood and so it 06"
casicnally happens that some of the disappointed patriotE►
in venting their wrath, let out a lead° more than they
intended—just like LOrd DERRYNANE when he said
" Let us first finish the church, and then we can so's4
settle the dissenters" ! !

It appears that all these flaming patriots, or nearly s°'
think their own claims paramount; and the diffi ulty
perienced by the reform officers is not so much t e wan'
of candidates as the abundance of them. It is pretty
well known that the gentlemen who Compose that highly'
respectable and deliberative body are distinguished for
their modesty, suavity, and sweetness, of disposition'
but, somehow or other, the honour of a seat in the new
town council is so great that poor human nature is, over
come, and self-denial is unfortunately thrown overboard'
After much fiery debate, therefore, and amid the din and
clash of conflicting interests, a list of forty-eight goud
men and true has passed the commons, and novv only
awaits the sanction of the lords to become the law of the
town. It is whispered by malicious persons that in this
list every one is excluded who possesses any knowledge
whatever of corporate affairs, who possesses an atom of
taste, or the least affection for antiquity, as it is the in'
tendon of the new council to take no cognizance of such
fooleries, but to make a clean sweep, and begin de 7101'°'
We will, however, furnish our readers with a few of thce
names which figure upon " the list," or, rather, we should
put it in the plural number and say Usta, for there Is a
legion of them flying about.
First and foremost figures Mr. R. M. BacxwiTo, the
celebrated vender of bombazine and silks, in Paracbse.,
street, a gentleman of whom it may be saidras Mr. Cgre
NING said of the ladies of the British fishery, that h,
sells the best silk and speaks the plainest English of 0]
man in his neighbourhood. After this gentleman we
