TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL ST4ND✓gRD.

am the unfortunate counter-tenor of the glee party
so vilainously misused in that rickety journal of twaddle and
nonsense, called the Mercury. We are poor, but, I trust, not
unworthy characters. We have professional characters at
stakewe have considerable local reputatio❑ I assure you
Mr. Editor—all of which this boasting phylanthropist has
attempted to destroy, and struck at the most,sensatiye point
in a poor man's existence—our daily bread. He has not
even adhered to truth, and has suppressed all the disadvantages
into which we were unconsciously plunged. "God save the
King," for instance, which every body knows is sung in B,
two flats, the band played it a third higher, in D, two sharps;
our voices were a perfect screech, in order to reach it. Then;
"Auld king syne" was called our glee; when it was joined in
by all present, and never was there such a pot-house jumble of
discordant voices heard, I believe.
Whether electioneering exertions had strained their voices
out of tune, or whether the gods have not been propitious to
reformers in bestowing on them musical ears, I know not; but
certain it is, it was a Babal-like performance; but when the
truth is fairly stated, I think the world will exonerate us from
blame. The only performance in which we had fair play was
"Hail smiling morn ;" it commanded profound attention, and
elicited great applause—and why? We had it to onrselves ;
nobody else knew it; and even in that we were crippled by
their own parsimony. I told Mr. Ward we were a voice short,
and by a very trifle more we could bring an assistant; but it
would not be listened to, and thus are we sacrificed to their
own acts of cupidity. Ile does not even do us the justice to
adhere to truth. He says, "after the toast of the Lancashire
witches," we sang "Life's a bumper." Now, Mr. Editor,
what must the world think of our taste and judgment to sing
a roaring Bachanalian glee, after toasting ail that is dear and
bewitching? It is a libel on our taste, and a practical false-
hood to say we did it. The glee we sang was, " Here's a health
to all good lasses"—so that you see every species of justice is
denied us. And why ? I'll tell you, Mr. Editor. We are
impaled and sacrificed at the shrine of Mr. E. Smith'spersonal
vanity as an author; and Mr. Shaw (who I find, like myself,
depends on his professional exertions for his bread, therefore
I pardon) is lauded to the skies for singing the vilest composi-
tion that a tune was ever disgraced with. As a proof of the
truth of what I have above stated, look at the prosing puff and
vain self-complacency with which the author dwells on his own
production. And what is there in it ? A parcel of scraps and
quotations that everybody has done with, drest up with a little
of his own obsolete jargon, set to the new and fashionable air of
"Gee wo Dobbin." That he is vain of this production look
at what he says—" If this should be made a club song!" Foolish
and self-deluded man ! Does he think there exists a being so
besotted in ignorance as to give it a place in his memory? If he
labours under such a delusion I tell him, as a friend (though
he has no right to expect such a courtesy at my hands), he is
wofully mistaken. We are leaving town, and I may not re-
turn from the south 'until the piper of the Mercury has been
visited by another fit of poetical frenzy; therefore, if he'd ho-
nour me with a commission, I'll send him down some Grub-
street doggerels,, or a pair of crutches for his brains to work
upon. Meanwhile I leave my case in your hands, and am, for
the present, your much abused, but most obedient wandering
counter-tenor, THOS. BLINKINSOP.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE LIVERPOOL
NORTHERN HOSPITAL, FOR THE YEAR 1831.

In this, the first annual report of the Liverpool Northern
Hospital, the committee think it desirable to explain briefly the
benefits which have already resulted from its establishment,
and they earnestly solicit the attention of the public, as well as
the subscribers' to a careful consideration of the following
statements :—Any person who for a moment reflects upon the
rapid extension of the town of Liverpool, particularly towards
its northern extremity, together with the extensive and numer-
ous docks, warehouses, and manufactories recently. erected
there, must feel surprise that no attempt has been earlier made
to establish an auxiliary Infirmary in a neighbourhood where
danrer°us e accidents are so constantly occurring.
Notwithstanding the admirable and complete arrangements
of our present noble Infirmary, the least consideration will
convince any one of the great additional suffering, and, proba-
bly, the occasional loss of life, that must take place in conse-
quence of the patient having to be conveyed so great a distance
before he can obtain the aid of that institution. If this unfor-
tunate aggravation of pain and danger was only likely to occur
in a few cases, and at distant intervals, however much we might
lament it, we might scarcely be justified in attempting to pro-
vide a remedy ; but, as in this district of perhaps a mile square,
more numerous and more serious accidents happen in a given
time than in any other part of the town of equal extent, it would
seem to be imperative on all well-wishers of their fellow-crea-
tures, who are fortunate enough to possess the means, to come
forward and exert themselves for the establishment of some
additional and more convenient hospital accommodation.
Under the influence of these views a public meeting was
called on the 10th April, 1833, at which the Mayor, C. Horsfall,
Esq., presided, when it was unanimously resolved, that mea-
sures should be immediately taken to establish a public hospital
in the northern part of the town, to be confined, for a time, as
much as possible, to the reception of accidents and severe cases.
In a very short time the sum of £1,560 was given in donations
for the requisite outlay, and that of £1,020 7s. 6d. as annual
subscriptions, including £2OO from the parish of Liverpool, £5O
from the Corporation, and £5O from the Dock Trustees. A.
large house, belonging to It. B. Hollinshead, Esq., (who fiber-
ally contributed the first half-year's rent as a donation,) was
then taken, at the end of Leeds-street, and opened on the 10th
March, 1834.
Every effort has been used in framing the constitution of the
Northern Hospital tai place it on the most liberal and satisfac-
tory basis, and they trust that the expense of outfit and their
interior arrangements will bear the strictest scrutiny, as having
been conducted with every regard to economy and. the per-
manent advantage of the institution.
In the formation of the committee have nroceeded with
much caution, examining those of similar establishments in dis-
tant conummities, but more particularly profiting by the expe-
rience and kind suggestions of the mauagers of our own invalu-
able Infirmary, introducing, however, into their system some
material alterations with reference to the non-permanency of
their medical officers, and additional days: rot the rei:eptiou of.
patients.
The very numerous accidents and cases 'of disease (including
several instances of apparently drowned persons) which have
already met with prompt and successful attention Within its
walls, as will appear by the report annexed, sufficiently attest
the advantages which the Northern Hospital is calculated to
distribute to the densely populated neighbourhood in which it
is placed.
fhe committee state most decidedly and unanimously, that
the benefits of this institution have exceeded their most san-
guine anticipations; they regret, however, that the
nature of their funds has enabled them to provide only thirty-
, three beds, and these have been occupied principally by cases
of the most urgent and important character; in fact, ever since
k the opening of the hospital it has been found necessary, from
the number of casualties which have almost daily sought ad-
mission, to devote to them many of the beds which it was pre-
viously intended to reserve for medical cases; and, although
from ate fear of inducing more applications for admission than
could be received, they refrained from (widely) circulating
forms of recommendation, it has been their painful duty, from
inability to accommodate the sufferers to turn from their
doors many serious cases of disease. Much, therefore, remains
to be accomplished, not only to perpetuate the good so happily
commenced but also to meet the constantly increasing demands.
In concluding their report the committee desire to render
thanks to Almighty God for the measure of relief of which they
have been the humble instruments. As they contemplate the
future prospects of their infant institution they indulge the
hope of seeing it, under Divine Providence, an important me-
dium for repelling the inroads which disease and accident make
upon the poorer classes ;—a wide channel in which the bene-
ficence of the charitable and opulent may diffuse itself over the
afflicted, and a great means of advancing and extending the
benefits of medical and surgical science. Convinced themselves,
by the number of daily applicants, of the necessity for increased
hospital accommodation, eye-witnesses frequently of the imme•
diate relief afforded to the agonies of sufferers, which, if delayed
for however short a period, must have been less serviceal,le,
they earnestly solicit the pecuniary assistance of every friend
of humanity in the prosecution of this good work.

LIVERPOOL MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY, JAN. 23, 1.35.

Up to this morning's market we have a small fresh
supply of Wheat, Oats, and Flour, with a fair quantity
of Barley coastwise.

The Wheat Trade continues heavy, at a reduction of
full Id per bushel since Tuesday, having very few
buyers at market, and no apparent disposition to
purchase beyond their immediate wants. The ex-
treme price of new Irish red Wheat may, therefore, be
quoted 5s 9d to 5s 10d per 701b5., while other descrip-
tions are nominally reduced in, at least, the same propor-
tion.—Several parcels of north country 'Barley have been
disposed of at 4s to 4s 4d per 601bs ; but in roundland
Barley we have still little passing at the rates last
quoted. Grinding qualities are full as dear.—Malt is
dull sale, and barely maintains its late value.
There has been a tolerable demand for New Irish and
Foreign Beans; the former, in dry condition, rate from
345. to 365. per quarter.—Fine Foreign Boiling Pease
have brought as high as 455. per quarter; this is, how-
ever, an extreme quotation.—Oats are held with some
firmness at late prices, but the demand is very limited, as
is the case with Oatmeal.—ln Flour, little or nothing
doing.

SOUTH LANCASHIIIE. ELECTION.

• NRWToN, FRIDAY AFTEOO-ON.
At an early hoar this morning the movers.and seconders of
_Lord- Francis .Egerton and Mr.- -Bootle Wilbrahain. together
with a considerable number ofkentlemen who formed the.cotn-
uuttee of those candidaies, began to assemble at Use Legh
Arms. Precisely at•ten.o'ciock•the High Shelia*, J. J. Traf-
ford, Esq., attended by Mr. Addison as his assessor, and Mr.
Under Sheriff flirt:flan, took his place oa the hustings, when
Mr. Addison informed the electors present that a poll had been
taken throughout ttie Southern division of .the county of, Lan-
casi.er tor the four several candidates who had been proposed as
fit and proper persons to be returned by them as knights of the
shire. Seine tune would be'required to add up the poll-books:
of; the different districts, and'as'Soon lis'this was done the She-'
riff would declare who were the successful candidates. When
Lord Fia;icis Egerton made his appearance on the hustiug' the
coeertog was loud and general. The leceptiOu of Mr. Wil-
braham was equallydlatieringi , The ,freeholders in attendance
were nut very numerous; those present cousistiog of gentle-
men witi -resided its the immediate neighbuttrhood 'of Newton
and members of the Liverpool and Manchester-committees.- •
Among these we noticed the Mayor of Liverpool; Sir John
Gerard; Bart.; Sir Thomas Brancker ; Sir Philip Egerton,
Bart., M ;: Sir Robert Holt' Leigh, Bart.; A:german
Wright; Smith, Esq., Chairman• of the Liverpool
Committee; Richard Dawson, 'Esq., Hon: Secretary; John
Moss, Escr.; ----' Shepherd, Esq of Liverpool; Clement
Rovds, 'Esq; Henry Moss, Esq.; H. Gaskell, Esq., Wigan;
I. Ireland. Blackburne, Esq., M.P.; Wilbraham Egerton,
Esq., of Tatton-park; Tatlon' Egerton, Esq., M.P.; John
Entwistle, Esq., M.P.; Charles Hindley, Esq., M.P. for
Ashlifn, (this. gentleman -was not on the hustings;)
Biackhurtie; William,Hultou. •Esq.; William Dolton,
Esq,; William Cririe,. Esq, Manchester; It. C. Sharp, Esq.,
Manchester; Captain White; Captain Dickson • Col. Plumbe
Tempest ; Joseph Birley,.Esq.-; John H. Kearsley, Esq-, M.P.
for Wigan; Edmund Kearstev, Wigan ;. J. Ridgway,
Esq., of Ridgihout; J. Luid, lsq., Mayor of \' igan : Rev. C.
K. Prescott, Rector of Stockport; H. B. Houghton, Esq.;
and the Rev.. Thomas Blackburn, Vicar of Eccles..

The crallery erected opposite the hustings for the accomoda-
'Con 'of !,,wiles was nearly tilled, and a considerable number were
.also present in their• carriages, -which were drawn up• in the
centre of the
,street. •Among these the only names we could
recturnie were. those' of Lac' Gerard, Mrs. Ireland Black-
borne, Mrs. and two Misses Milton, and Mrs. Lyon, of Ap-
pleton. All the ladies present were- decorated with blue rib-
bons, blue and white scarfs, rosettes, &e. &c., these being
the colours of the.,buccessful candidates, to honour whose re-
turn they had left their homes, although the weather was
somewhat unfavourable. _

og the absence of the sheritrs the time of the company
was'occopied chiefly M congratulations, in recounting anec-
dote§ connected with the struggle which has rescued Lincashire
front Whig-radical and radical-unitarian domination, and in
discussing the probable effects which would arise in public feel--
ing.generally on this decided sympt,mt of " reactrou." To
enliven the scene a band' of-rnuisic-strirck- up " God save the
Kink" which was loudly cheered. This, air was followed by
"R te,Britauni►"—"Britoas, strike home"—".oh, dear, what
can • the matter be," and other popular tunes. 'An ostler
from one of the inns appealed in the crowd with an old-lan-
tern and candle hoisted oh a pole, decorated with the colours
of Lord Molyrieut.and Mr. 'Wood. , He declared that he- came
among them to look for a whigr flee examining all the car-
riages, the hustings, and the people assembled 'in front of
them, he singled out Mr. C. indley, the elected for Ashton and
the rejected of Warrington. A loud but goof humoured laugh
followed this discovery. About the same period a pack of
hounds passed down the street, when the cry of "A whi" hunt"
—"Bun them down"—"Tally-ho," and the " View hullo" were
given.
It was generally expected that Lord Molyneux and Mr.
Wood, or sonic of their friends, would have been present. Un-
der this impresslo.l one hail of the hustings was reserved fur a
considerable time fur their accomodation; Owing, we presume,
to some "untoward event," or "unforeseen cirtumstanee,"
neither of the LATE members of Parliament for South Lanca-'
shire t•Lipeared to ekplain to their friends the cause of their re-
jection,.orio thank them for the votes given in favour of "Ra-
dical Reforin," church refit m, and 'the thousand-and-one other
reforms which these patriotic g,entlFmen so liberally promised
their follow4ers. The only person present connected with the
defeated—shay we not add defunctfaction in South Lanca-
shire? .was Mr.-Charles Hindley; but he held his peace.
Precisely at a quarter past, one the Higlt-Sheriff retu4ned to
the hustings, when Mr. An olsoNstated, that John Joseph Traf.
ford; Esq.; the High-Sheriff of Lancashire, being the returning
officer for the southern. ditriston of that county, declared the pull
to be as follows :
For Lord Francis Eger'on 5020. -
The Hon. It. Bootle Wilbraham . 472

Lord Ml* nett ' • 1629
(When this was announced, thilee cheers and one cheer more.)
George Win. Wood, Esq .. .1391
The Mon-Sul:nue then declared that the election for two
knights of the shire for the southern division of.Lancnshire to
serve in the ensuing parliament had fallen upon Francis Levi-
son .Gower Egerton, Esq., commonly called Lord Francis Le,
Son Gower Egerton, and the Honourable Richard Bootle Wil-
_

.. . . . .
'lli;declaration was received with loud cheering, and the
waving of handkerchiefs troth the ladies..
Mr. Under-Sheriff BEI:CHAU, then read the indentures ;—the
members were girt with' swords by their respective proposers,
•r John Gerard and John-Moss, Esq. The return was then
SI d • 'by. the • High-Sheriff, Sir • John . Gerard, Colonel
nbe Tempest, r. John Moss, and Mr. Joseph Birley,
P M
as is
e mlavers and secon tiers of the two elected members. . The
Sheriff then announced that any other
.freeholder• who might
also wish to affix his- signature to to deed was at liberty :to do
so. lt was subsequently signed be James Aspinitll, Esq.,
Mayor of Liverpool, Sir Thomas Brinicker, Mr. Alderman
Wright, William Ilulton. senior, ri....i.,.;bud John—Lord, Esq.,--
Ma-or of Wigane• - • . ~. . . . .
Lord Fait:sets EGERTON then stepped forward amidst the
most entlinaiastic cheers, and addressing the high sheriff and
freeholders assembled said, that after the cheering announce-
ment whit:, they had just heard made by the sheriff he trusted
the)e.svoull think with him, that although the period of an-
nounkenient had been rather long front the circumstance of
the pollTkoks having to be added up, that the result had been
worth waiting for. (Loud cheers.) This announcement of the
state of the' pull, being in favour of himself and his hon. col-•
league; he considered authorised hint, without infringing upoli
any Custom or regulation, to address a few words to the free-
holders who, eince he had the honour of appearing upon the'
hastings-ia the character of a candidate, had returned hint'
triuMphantly .as their representative. (Loud. cheers.) This
proud distinction conferred upon him he thought justified hint
re congratulating them on the. successful termination of the
contest, and compelled him to endeavour, however feebly, to
express his. acknowledgments for having thought proper-to con-
sider him worthy of the situation in which they had placed him,
They Lad thought lit to draw hint from the obscurity of private
and social life, in which sphere he hail hoped to have rendered
himself useful, to the high and more important station of being the
representative of whet now asteiniert to be the popular interest
of the country, and he did from his heart truly congratulate them
upon the achievement of a glorious victory b'y an intelligent, in-
tuential, and respectable majority of a free community, as he
considered a successful exercise of the opinions of the people a
proper subject for congratulation. (Load cheers.) :Ile felt a
glowing pride within -hint, when he could look back from that
eminence to which they had raised him, and trace the path
by which he had risen, and say that he was not indebted for his
election to any sinister or corrupt practices or motives. (Loud
cheers.) lie, had the great pleasure of knowing that they had
met their opponents, and the differences of opiates of the oppo-
sition, fairly and honourably throughout the contest; not in the
most reunite degree had they deviated from the path of rectitude
and honour which was characteristic of independent freeholders
of the county of Lancaster. (Cheers.) For •himself, he owed
them a large account of gratitude, not merely for having re-
tureed hiss as their represeutative. to Parliament in a good
eauSe,but for having returnktwith hint a colleague—(cheers')—
whose orinciples were iir accordance with his own, and with
whom he felt happy in being politically united to serve their
interests by labouring . for their permanent good. lie knew
that the present time, when they hail inert° hear the'triumph
of their came, mac not an occasion to venture upon observa-
tions respecting what hal fallen from the lips of the other can-
didates ; he should slot, therefore, generally discuss them ; but
there was one remark made by a noble friend of his (one of the
candidates) which he considered worthy of comment. That
noble lord had expressed an opinion that he was perfectly well
satisfied of what would be the result of the. elections throughout
the "country. Whether that noble lord's opinions were for or
against the principles of his' Majesty's government, it so sin-
gularly happened that the opinion he expressed was in perfect
accordance with the opinions of the ministers of the crown.
(Loud cheers.) Ile (Lord Egerton) had just received a Lon-
don newspaper, containing the report of a speech made by the
Right lion. Sir Robert Peel to the electors of Toilworn', in
which that Minister declared himself quite satisfied with .the
result of the elections, and that he should therefore be enabled
to conduct•the ministry of the country with the stew House of
Counnous, (loud and continued cheering,) and it would be
accomplished -on true constitutional principles,' and - wills a
spirit embracing all constitutional reforms, in the desire for
which then 'entertaining conservative principles' were unani-
mously agreed. (Cheers.) With the sentiments expressed by
-Sir It'. Peel he (Lord Egerton) hived to sheet him in' the House
of Commoneeto afford -him all the support he could contribute;
both as regarded his votes and otherwise. (Cheers.) With regard
-to the late election, in which he had proved one of the success-
ful candidates, he had heard on a former occasion that the
contest throughout would be conducted with that moderation
-and good feeling on both sides which distinguished it at the
outset, and he was happy to find that that harmony had con-
tinued to the close of the two distinguishecidays which had re-
turned him and his colleague as their representatives. (Cheers.)
He believed that no election had taken place -in the country
since it had been hie Majesty's pleasure to summon a parlia-
ment which had- been conducted with less animesity or dis-
union, which was one circumstance, in addition to others, that
- caused hiut to be proud of the county he was called upon to
represent. There was another feeling and cause in which he,
as well as the freeholders, had to congratulate themselves.
They had heard of influence having been exercised, called cor-
ruptive influence—such as the influence of property and wealth
—but there was one influence they ought not to forgetosuil that
-was the legitimate influence of beauty which had presided over
:them (loud cheers); he alluded to those ladies whose bright
eyes :had lent a reflective influence to their cause on the
• day of nomination, and whom he now saw present to award
the prize of -the contest. (Loud and ceadnued cheering.)
If they had felt the corrupting influence of their attraction, and
..had bent before their fascinating smiles, he was confident. the
cause had no occasion to fear the corruptive influence. of
bribery, wealth, or power. It now only remained for him to
thank them for the high honour they had conferred upon him,
but he felt that he could not do so in adeouate-ternis, but from
the bottom of his heart he cordially thanked them for the dis-
tinguished mark of confidence with which they had honoured
-him. The noble lord concluded his speech amidst the most en-
thusiastic cheering, in the course of whiclna stentorian voice
.from the crowd was heard asking ' What was become of the
Derby interest ?" This exclamation
.excited much merrinreritH,
:in every part of the assembly.
- 1
The Honourable Mr. WienßA II A 31 then came forward, and
was received with loud cheering. The honourable gentleman
said that it was under very different feelings than when he
saw them on Saturday last he now appeared before them. He
now came forward to hank them by the warmest acknovvledg.
ments, which he feared he should be at a loss to explesa, for the
high honour they had conferred upon him, by returning hint as
one of their representatives in the ensuing parliament. He felt
assured that the eyes of the whole country had been directed to
the contest in the southern division- of Lancaster, and he be-
--hewed that the result would be a- source • of pleasure to those
-who-Are anxious for the welfare of their country. They were
called upon to support the prerogative.of his Majesty, when he
was pleased to dismiss his late ministers ; and they were now
called upon nobly to support those ministers, if they approved
111 the measures they intended to bring forward. They had

TrielM/'9.lFM!,Clirk4l.iiir

croUe so,' (cheers,)and,the fact justified him in ceiling to ,their,
recollection an expression made nse of by the venerable father
of his present Majesty, "that the county of Lancaster was the
most loyal coon!), in his dominions." (Loud cheers.) He
confessed that it gave him great pleasure to find that the
contest had been carricti.,on.with such perfect nnanitnity on
tlipitit of his'ewn and his noble colleague's friends, and with
such an entire absnice of any thing like personal hostility on
th`p part of their opponents. For his. own part, he begged leave
to stafe,, that if any where or at any time .during the heat of
the contest, he had made use of, any expressions calculated to
wound the f.:elings of his opponents, he would then amply apo-
logise.for any such unintentional offence. (Loud cheers.) • It
was-not his intention unnecessarily to trespass upon, their tune.
He returned his best thanks,. and could assure them that it
would be his greatelt happiness to act cordially and in perfect
unison with kis- noble colleague iu promoting the_ prosperity,
not only of that •great county, but of .the country at large.
(Loud.cheers.) Before, however, he &included, he must not
neglect to pay his tribute to that legitiinate source of influence,
female beauty, to which his colleague'had 'so aptly and so poe-
tically alluded. He confessed that he had not the power •of
clothing his ideas in the powerful eloquence winch adorned his
noble friend, but simply and heartily he begged to return them
his thanks for their kind exertions in his favour.
The close of the hon. gentleman's speech was the signal 'for
a loud cheer. _ _ .

As soon as the cheering which followed the close of the hon.
member's speech had subsided, "'l'hree cheers for Church and
King," "Three cheers fur the Queen," "Three cheers for his Ma-
jesty's• Ministers," "Three cheers for Mr. Hutton," "Three
cheers fur the Cause," "Three cheers for the High Sheriff,"
'and "Three cheers for the Lancashire Witches," were called
for successively and cordially given.
Lord Fl:At4cts EGERTON then moved a vote of thanks to the
High Sheriff, "for his able and impartial conduct in fulfilling
the duties which devolved upon hint as the returning officer at
this election." , . ,

The noble lord's motion was seconded, by his colleague, Mr.
BooTt.a WILBRAIIAM, and carried neat. corr.. -
A Country. Farmer then called out—" Let us give three
cheers for Lord Molyneux, for I hear be is very! poorly." (A
loud laugh.)
Sir RDBERT HOLT LEIGH, Bart. then addressed the electors
as follows:—Triumphant electors of this regenerated county!
(Loud cheers.) As one of the oldest conservatives on these
hustings the gentlemen present have thought proper to impose
the pleasing task upon me of returniaig thanks for this triumph-
ant termination of this successful contest. I should ill acquit_
myself in doing so if I at the same time neglected to call to,
your recollection and attention one whose whole soul has been
in the cause of conservatism, and without whose soul of fire we
could, have done,little, or almost nothing, for his inspiring
genius was our directing course.. In hint loyalty,ivan innate
element, and if has raised that flame of patriotism which light-
ed the drooping spiritS•of The conservatives to their successful
efforts.- (Cheers.) This friend of mine, gentlemen—there he
stands—is Mr. Hulton, anti I have great pleasure in paying
this tribute to his rare talents and great private worth. I need
not only congratulate yoison the great success of this day fore
your own sakes, I do so for the sake of your country; and
I hope it will.7be the means of operating as an. antidote to
the hostility to the establishments of the country, civil
and religious, under which we live, which has hitherto predo-
minated. The speech, of the venerable baronet, who, we are
happy to add, appeared in excellent health, was delivered with
great animation, and was received with marked attention. , Its
chise was loudly applauded.
I4lr. Ilni.ToN was then culled for from several parts of the
meeting, and, in obedience to the call, he advanced to the front
of the hustings and said that, as he considered it would best be-
come
him when at the point of returniug from the proud scene of
triumph which he had just witnessed, not to remark upon state-
ments which had been inside by his opponents, he should not allude
to them. He might; however, say with truth, that his whole heart
and soul had for years been devoted to his King and country.
(Cheers.) Through times of difficulty, danger, end privation
he had fought the battle strenuously, fall of conscious dignity[
feeling, that nothing could swerve hint from those duties which
were inculcated upon his mind in early life, (cheers;) through
times of persecution he had endeavoured to hold up his head,
knowing and feeling that a change would and must take
place.- flat period had arrived—the change lied taken place.
It was now most gratifying to see the constituency of this great
county taking an opportunity of expressing those' sentiments
which neither money nor ambition could buy. They had nobly
sent to parliament two gentlemen as their representatives who
despised, and were uncontaminated by any of the dirty trickery
of the opposition. Front these gentlemen they had the gua-
rantee of their principles in the high antiquity of their ances-
tors; they had the guarantee of their high personal characters,
and he was sure they would respond to the feeling of their con-
stituents, by laying before his Majesty their best thanks for
the recent exercise of his royal prerogative. (Loud cheers.)
After some further cheers had been given,, the High Sheriff
dissolved the meeting.'

TEMPER AND VIOLENCE OF. THE DISSENTERS-
THE BISHOP OF LINCOLN. . •

The following remarks on this subject by-the Bishop of
Lincoln; in . his late admirable charge to his. clergy, ere pecu-,.:
liarly just and appropriate, and will be read with iuterest at the,
present moment. The fact is, that the dissenteri thought they
could beard the late government just as they pleased, and that
therefore to conceal their real feelings of hostility.to the church.
was; no longer, necessary:—" I am assered, my reverend
brethren, that I only express a feeling which you all share with
me, when I say that I have seen, at once with grief and sur-
prise, the sentiments avowed in many of the public declarations
of the protestant dissenting communities ,of this kingdom ;
with grief, because it must be painful to every conscientious
member of the established church to find that by a numerous
portion of the community it is iegarded with a determined
enmity; with surprise, because on looking back to the conduct
adopted by its ministers, snore espec.ally in; recent times, to-
wards those, who are separated from it, I can find.nothing to,
account for the existence of this hostile spirit. Seeing, how-
ever, that it exists, I am thankful that it has been avciided..
Had not oar .opponents. thus, openly declared their intentions,
we might have indulged in a falsesecurity,_and taken 1;14. steps,,
to avert the iteriending'danzer. We are now ,parized of its
full-extent; we are apprized that our only choice is between
tame submission and firm and uncompromising resistance. In
vain do.we offer terms of peace to those who proclaim aloud
that the evils arising from, the union of the Church with the
State are of a character so malignant as to be susceptible of no
mitigation; and that the dissolution of the union is the only
cure.. The, time for attempting to conciliate by concession has
passed; the attempt will avail us nothing; it will be 'regarded
as the effect of fear, or of a base desire to retain 'for a. brief
space the temporalities.of the establishment; instead of avert-
ing, it will accelerate our destruction, and ail! render us con-
temptible in our fill. We must therefore prepare for the
contest; and in preparing fu it derive comfort from the reflec-
thin that it is not sought by us, but forced upon us ; that we
are nit assailing others, but acting in self-defence, and struggling
for the preservation of our institutions, which we are pledged
liy the most solemn engagements to maintain in their essential
integrity."

A NEW. SONG,
(WITH AN OLD CHORCS,)
• • ON THE FALL OF THE WHIGS.
KY Jocx NICOL,
Principal Fisher of" Sages," from the Bridge to the Bar of Ayr.
COMMITTED TO PAPER BY HIS SECRETARY, It. G.

Our gallant ship, the " Kirk and State,"
Commanded by the King,
Has once more weather'd danger's cape,
Then let the nation sing—
Awa ! whigs awa! •
Awa! whigs awa!
Ye're but a pack o' traitor loons—
• Ye'll dae rice good at a'.
The pilot was a "sheepfac'd" whig ;
The master he was drunk,
And would have played at thimble-rig
Until the vessel sunk !
Awa! whigs awa! &c.
The royal captain, ever true,
Still kept a sharp look-out,
And promptly gave his worthless crew
A well-timed " right-about."
Awa! whigs awa ! &c.
Their gratitude for favours past,
By mutiny was shown:
Thee grown like devils erst down east—
Like curs robb'd an bone.
Awa! whigs awa! sze. -
In vain theyhullied, cring'd, and crawl'd,
Once more to be restored:
Their logbook has been overhauled,
And they thrown overboard!
Awa! whigs awa! &c.
But,. though they had the ship again,
The once-loved unions', shout
Would drive them on the rocks amain,
By •' pressure from without,"
Awa! whigs awa! &c.
Wee Johnnie nibbling at the kirk—
The woolsack stained sai' gin,
Would make their brightest day mirk! mirk!
By " pressure from within."
Awa! whigs awe ! &c.
God bless the King! Sir Robert P.el
Stands firmly at the helm !
No other man can turn the wheel
In safety to the realm.
Awa! whigs awa! &c.
Each whig that's sent to man the ship
Will be a mutineer;
Each radical that goes the trip
Will be a buccaneer.
Awa! whigs avra! &c.
Then let the owners all accord - •
To choose a tory crew,
Or else the ship, and all on board,
Will perish in their view !
Awa.! whigs awa!
Awa! whip awe!
Ye're but a pack o' traitor loons—
Whigs, radicals, and a'. .

AN UNREASONABLE EXPEETATION.--AI Union Hall Police-
office Eliza Bray attended on the behalf of her husband, a
chimney-sweep, who was summoned for employing his
,son, a
lad• under twelve years of age, at his trade.
,The boy's mother
endeavoured to make out that he was above the'age required by
law, and when she was pressed on this point by the magistrate,
and desired to tell her son's age, she said, " I Kaye been married
twenty-three years, and in that time I've had twenty-two chil-
d' en, and surely; your worship, you can't expect that my head
is like an almanac, to bear in memory the ages of all of than."
The case was ordered to stand over to ascertain the age of the
buy.
