purpose of adopting some plan by_ which they might show their
loyalty and attachment to Mis Majesty, and on Friday night,-
they met at the Castle Tavern, when, forgetting all party feel.;

EARL OF RADNOR AND LATE DUKE OF GRAFTON,—The Earl

of Radnor stated that a late C.haneellor of the University of
Cambridge was confessedly an unitarian, and. could nut_ conse-
quently have subscribed the thirty-nine articles." The noble
earl alluded to .the Duke of Graftonb --not •to his late Royal
Highness the Duke of Glocester, who *as firmly ited of ec-
tionately attached to the church and its creed. The Duke rr
'Grafton was made Chancellor of the University of CaMbridge
in the sear 1768, when he subscribed the thirty-nine. 'articles,
not becoming an unitarian till twenty yea.i.s afterwards; the
'Earl of Radnor's argument therefore falls to the ground. The
:Duke of Grafton was chancellor 43 years, dying in 1811.—

THE MINISTRY.—The time has ,not- quite arrivedto speak

we could expose the cabal in such a way that every honest .man .
in the empire would cry shame upon their doings. Suffice it.
'to say the hand of dissolution is upon fhem, and the materials
ler their destruction are certain and unerring: In the House

. :LORD GitliY AND THE GOVERNMENT.—The dogzepi silence
maintained by Lord Grey in the House of Lords, during, the
present session, has not failed to, attract observation.. But, on
Tuesday evening, during the important discussion on.lhe thirty!nine articles' bill, there was•something significant as regards
the opinion formed of the present government by Lord GreV,
not only in his lordship's silence, but in his absolve. It is al.;!)
worthy of remark: that the Earl, of Durham—Lord Grey's son-
in-law—gave the distressed Lerd Melbenrne no support on that
occasion, either by vote or speech, whilst the Bishop 'of Help-
ford. Earl Grey's brother, voted against the"ministry. We
leave these facts without comment. —Salripian Jeurnal•

STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS TRADE.—The cloth trade in this district is fit frOttl
being so brisk as it was a few months agO, but yet there:ii fair
business doing, although the domestic manufacturer*, in the
surrounding villages are not so well employed as they have of
late been, a circumstance which is almost solely ettributect.te
the present high prices of foreign wool, and the uncertainty,
until the result of the German markets is known, whether those
prices will be maintained or not. The effect of this ie to pre-.
vent any accumulation of manufactured good; as the- maker.
cannot calculate on any advance on goods.
BIZADFORD MARKET.—The sate of goods at this market, on
Thursday, was again limited, althOugh some were of opinion
that more were sold than on the previous Thursday. • Certain it
is that the stocks do not acetimulate in the mauefactureeshands4
.and we believe that the trade wasouever in a more heettlay state
than :at present. Yarns were rather better to sell, and wools
were more inquired after,'but only few sales. Prices were firm.

well attended by buyers, but there was no great eagerness to

good state; plenty of demand for-goods ensures full employ-

JULY 14.—The market here this week has been
the dullest we have had lately. Goods cannot-now be moved off
at old prices. The buyers every week ate Wanting goods for
less money, and unless they may have them considerably less
than they have been giving tbey will not purchase. This state
of things makes the woe!' trade very heavy, so that nothing can
be sold but what•is indispensably needed. ' Low sorts declined
in price yesterdaY, and but few sales effected,
YORK Wool: MARKET, Jut.. W.—This being the week pre.
'vious to the assize week, we have had rather a thin attendance

inclination in -consumers of long wool to purchase beyond their

greater degree of firmness to the holders, .from an idea that if
lower prices than the present are submitted to, they will not he

A susrictous CHAR ACTER.--A man, who .bore the appear.
auee of a working blacksmith, was placed before Alderman
Staniforth on Friday last, having been taken into custody cxi
the preceding night by Hartnett, of the Nightly Watch. Hart-
nett stated that he hid seen the'prisoner pass 'him on his beat, •
-and, observing that his body appeared rather bulky, he stopped •
him, and found that he had four new waistcoats on besides the
old one, which agreed in appearance with:his other. apparel, '
The ptisoner said that he and a companion had each purchased
two waistcoats the previous day, and that, as they bad lost each
Other, he put the waistcoats on to keep them safe. • The magis-
trates ordered him to be remanded.

, :INFORMATION FOR, PERSONS PLEDGING GOODR.-01.1 Satlll,
day lasta wornan.named.Cheetham appeared before the magis-
trates to substantiate a complaint which she had made against
'Mr. Sayer, a pawnbroker, for detaining a gown which corn- •
Plainant had pledged with him. Mr. Shuttleworth asked We•
complainant if she had, when she went for the gown, tendered •
the principal money lent and the interest. She replied in the
affirmative; but it subsequently appeared, from the evidence
of her own witness, that She had merely tendered the interest,
'and had afterwards suffered the article to run out of
.date.
Shuttleworth said that it was essential that both principal and
interest should be offered; or a pawnbroker was not bound to
deliver the article pledged, nor was he answerable for any .eoit- •
sequences arising out of such uon-deliverP., ' The case was
dismissed. •
ROBBERY Br A SERVANT.—On Fridaviast a man named
Campbell was placed at the bar of the police Court charged
by his late master, Ralph Peters, Esq., of Sea-view House
Southport, with having robbed him. .Mr. Peters stated that dn.,
-prisoner was in his service, and knew where his clothes and
money were deposited. On 'Thursday morning last, between
five and six o'clock, a servant enteted. his' room, and told hint
that the house had been robbed. On examination, he found .
that several doors, &c. bed been broken, open, and a quantity
of his (Mr. Peters's) own wearing apparel 'had been' stolen.

GOVERNOt-GENERASHIP OF [NINA.— The debate on
Sir. Mills's motion at the India House last Wednesday
'brought out some particulars touching the conduct of a
high public functionary, now secretary of state for the
-colonial department, but under Lord Melbourne's for-
mer administration at the head of the board of control.
Mr. Mills's motion went to the production of all the of-
ficial papers which had passed between the board of con-
trol
and the court of directors, with reference to Lord W.
Beittinek's resignation, and to the appointment of his
successor. The motion was not so limited as that' which
had .beett refuSed by ministers in the House of Commons,
and on whiCh occasion
,it appeared to us that Sir J. Hub-
house,. in his clever speech, ;had, .with the other minis-
ters of the crown, treated somewhat too cavalierly the
pretensions of the India Company to a voice at least,
thotigh not an absolute voice, in a matter of such. ek•'.
treme importance to their.eastern territories as the Con-
sideration of, who should govern them. Inthis instance
•of Wednesday last the motion, if. carried, would have
brought to light papers affecting. the:present aspirant, •
(Shall' we call him?) or actual nominee, to the successat-
ship of Lord Heytesbury,.Vii., the BarOn,Glenelg, who
has long apparently been casting an eye of inclination
towards the governor-generalship of India, if it be true,
and if not true it ishardly- to be supposed that Mr. Mills
would have hinted it in such plain terms that it was Lord
Glenelg, then Mr. C. Grant, who had handed into the
court-Of directors the resignatiOnuf Lord W. Bentinck—
a proceeding which Mr. Mills looks. upon to have been
objectionable, inasmuch as the resignation ought to have
been transmi direct from the retiring governor-gene-
-ral tci-the-cour; o:" directors, who had formally appointed
him ; aYid the more so, because, the party through whom
'it was CoMmunicated, being a cabinet minister and him-
self a candidate for the office, (this. is Mr. Mills's argu-
ment, notours; we cannot suppose Mr. C. Grant capa-
ble of any such tortuous proceeding), might keep back
the letter to suit his own political ends. Soon afterwards,
it appears that Mr. C. Grant made private communica-
tions to persons having influence; and if Mr. Mills be
correct, that the right hog: gentleman, now the noble
lord, " made use of the power which he possessed for
other purposes than those for the attainment of which
such power had been conferred upon him." We do not
ask Mr. Mills, from niere curiosity, to detail what were
those purposes; we suppose the worthy proprietor is pre-
pared tostate and prove them. The report of his speech
simplrinsintiates that he hadin a manner privately can-
vassedllie lite chairman (Mr. Tucker) and other direc-
tors, tb,prolnote his own views upon the gOvern•or-gene-
hlshiP, he at the_ time being president ;--ef the board of
contrOl,, aiaTiherefore not entitledrto, exercise his 'own
official .riglit:a making confidential:communications to
the chairman or other directors,of the company, a right
vested in him for great public objects, on behalf of his
own individual aggrandizement or ambition. We agree
with Mr, Tucker that an honourable man, with the nuns
..co'nsoia root', must always wish for the utmost publicity
'consistent with the good of the state. It is, therefore;
that we are sure Lord Glenelg will not sufler his own
high reputation as a scrupulous and conscientious person
to lie under the charge of something like misprision of
jobbing,. especially after having succeeded in two other
and very magnificent objects of personal desire—to wit;
the nomination of his intimate friend, associate, and pro-
tege, Mr. B. Macaulay, to an office with a salary of
£lO,OOO per, annum, and the appointment of his own
brother, Sir R. Grant (a man of merit and ability it
would be idle to dispute) to the government of Bombay.
It seems to us that the papers called for will, through
one means.or another, be ere long made public.—Times.

PEEL'S PROPHECY TRUE!--REFORM BILL WHIG'
B URKED.—It is done!. The prophecy of Sir Robert Peel
that the whigs would be the first to mutilate the reform
bill, has been fulfilled—ti prophecy of which, by the way,
we were, We first to take notice when the period Of its ful-
-6lment approached. On Thursday evening, the House
of Commons, by certainly a poor majority, but still by
a majority of very significant composition, negatived Mr.
Praed's amendment to preserve the rights of freemen
which the whig-municipal corporation bill would take
away. 1..,et, therefore, it be known to the, country at
large in what thejustice and gratitude of a Certnin clique
of the Home of Commons consists. Let. it be proclaimed
trumpet-tongued throughout the land, that the freeinen
of England and Wales have been deprived of the rights
secured to them by the reform bill, by a majority of the
Scotch and Irish Members, and that, by the same men,
their children have also been deprived of their birthrights.
Lord John Russell's speech in defence of the freemen's
disfranchisement clause was as distinguished a specimen
of whig meatiness, duplicity, treachery, trickery, and
sophistry, as that of Sir Robert Peel, in reprobation of
the principle, was pre-eminent for its eloquence and ho-
nesty, soundness of argument and justness of conception.
When the "final measure" as Lord John termed it, the
" reform bill," was passed, the rights of freemen were,
in a clause introduced by his lordship, secured in " per-
petuity"—perpetuity was his loidship's phrase!
three years have just elapsed, and that period is an-
nounced as thedimit of whig " perpetuity!" Lord John
Russell, the very man who voluntarily introduced the
saving clause of 'freemen's franchise and privileges, now
comes forward to destroy those rights he had congratu-
lated: himself lie had perpetuated ! Here is a pretty
specimen of whig honesty. But this is not all: Lord
John Russell, by, way of reconciling his condrict now
with hia conduct in 1831, has the candour to say, "That
the admissibn of the right of freemen to vote for mem-
bers of parliament, 'as confirmed by the reform bill, was
only.a piece of temporisation"--a compromise—a step of
submission taken at the time to induce the lords to agree
to that measure; and therefore—anark this, reader!—
and, therefore, Aught not now to be further recognised
or persisted in. .oh, rare whigs! honest, faithful, straiklit-
forward wbigs ! Well did Sir Robert tear the swindling
argument of the mean and. puny trickster to atoms. " I
denounce," quoth the first -and greatest man in the House
of Commons, " I denounce this not -only as a dishonest,
but a bad argument. If you did procure the consent of
the other house of parliament to the reform bill by pre-
serving the rights of freemen, to recede from that stipu-
lation now was not the way to procure the consent of the
lords a second time within three years. It wasyour duty,
if you ultimately intended to alter the right of vote pos-
sessed, to have avowed at the time that you did not mean,
as you said you did mean, to `perpetuate' that privilege,
but to propose an alteration in it on introducing a bill
for the regulation of municipal corporations. You did
not take this course—you left the House of Lords, the
country, and the entire bpdv of freemen, under the im-
pression that this was an' acknowledgment and perpetua-
tion of their right, which had received a new sanction
and greater force from that reform act of which you
boasted as the second CHARTER OF OUR LIBERTIES !"
How the contemptible soul of that incarnation of mean-
ness, Lord John Russell, must have winced under the
honest and manly exposure of Peel. To save him, or-
ders were given by one of the Irish brigade to howl,
yelp, shout, bark, and cough down any further speakers.
Mr. Hughes, Mr. Poulter, Mr. Hardy, and others, were
successively made the buts of impatient and intelligent
gentlemen and senators, in a way that would have asto-
nished the frequenters of a bear-garden. The little
leader of the rotten and treacherous whigs ran for shel-
ter and for victory to the banded gang of Scotch and Irish
hungry auxiliaries, and by their.aid succeded in mutilat-
ing his own enfant cheri, the reform bill, and burking the
liberties of Englislimen.—Ago. .

HINTS FOR THE, CONSIDER— ATION OP TUE AORICULTU. I
RAI. CLASSES, PARTICULARLY SUCH OP THEM •AS ARE
VOTERS POlt.c.o6lTlES.—Remember that since the pass-
ing of the .reform'act, in 1832, England and Wales Sends
500 member... to parliarnynt, of wtioni 337 are returned
by the populace of the manufacturing towns, and only
159 by the counties, many of which are in ,the hands of
the ratlicals ;.:recollect, too; that of the 158 members re-
turned bv Ireland and Scotland, a large proportion are
ultra-radicals. Neier forget for a moment that the re-
form bill has deprived the agricnitural interest of nearly
200 votes, and tirat the practical inference frt m all these
,A glen iable facts is, that since the interests of the manu-
fa :Wring towns are so abundantly taken care of, there is
little reason or mitnmon • sense in the country voters
th •owing their influence too into the radical scale, whilst
cneir own is kicking the baam fur want of its due
weight.
Remember that the reform hill has virtually annihilated
the House of LOrds—dest!oyed the King's !aw fill prero
gative—so that he cannot even choose his own ministers
and that it is in the Home of Commons, and in tha
house alone, that your real interests must. be protected
or not at all.
Remember, that the avowed object of the radicals, and
by means of which they bind the populace of the towns
to their interest, is the ruin of the landed interest, that
is, the nobility and gentry, and finally, of the yeomanry
and agricultural labourers dependant on tl em, by abo-
lishing the corn laws, a me?sure which would soon re-
duce our yeomanry and peasantry to the condition of the'
wretched slaves, who are sold like trees or stones, with
the soil they cultivate, in Poland and Russia.
Remember the insolent and galling distinction made
by the whigs in their famous reform bill between you and
the populace of the manufacturing towns..—Remember
that by the provisions of this famous act the right of vot.
ing is conferred upon every mechanic renting a £lO
house in a town, whilst it was with the greatest difficulty,
andarter making the most violent. eaves to hinder it,that
