OATH OF ABJURATION.
6th Geo. HI. cap. 53.

I, A. 8., do truly and sincerely acknowledge, profess,
testify, and declare in my conscience, before God and the
world, that our Sovereign Lady Queen Victoria the First,
is lawful and rightful Queen of these realm, and all other
her Majesty's dominions and countries thereunto belong-
ing. And Ido solemnly and sincerely declare, that Ido
believe in my conscience that not any of the descendants
of the person who pretended to be Prince of Wales
during the life of the late King James the Second, and
since his decease pretended to be, and took upon himself
the style and title of King of England, by the name of
James the Third, or of Scotland, by the name of James
the Eighth, or the style and title of King of Great Britain,
bath any right or title whatsoever to the Crown of this
realm, or any oth r the dominions thereunto belonging:•
and I do renounce, refuse and abjure any allegiance or
obedience to any of them. And Ido swear that I will
bear faithful and true allegiance to her Majesty Queen
Victoria the First, and Her will defend to the utmost of
my power against all traitorous conspiracies and attempts
whatsoever, which shall be made against her person,
crown or dignity. And I will do my utmost endeavour
to disclose and make known to her Majesty and her suc-
cessors, all treasons and traitorous conspiracies which I
shall know to be against her or any of them. Aod Ido
faithfully promise, to the utmost of my power, to support,
maintain and defend the succession of the crown against
the descendents of the said James, and against all other
persons whatsoever; which succession, by an Act, en-
titled, " An Act for the further limitation of the Crow 9;
and better securing the rights and liberties of the subject,'
is, and stands limited to the Princess Sophia, Electress
ant Duchess Dowager of Hanover, and the heirs of her
body, being Protestants. And all these things I do plainly
and sincerely acknowledge and swear, according to these
express words by me spoken, and according to the plain
common sense and understanding of the same words, with-
out any equivocation, mental evasion, or secret reserva-
tion whatsoever. And Ido make this recognition, ac-
knowledgment, abjuration, renunciation and promise,
heartily, willingly, and truly, upon the true faith of
Christian.

SO HELP ME GOD.

that Sir Henry Hardinge will succeed Lord Ellenborough
as Governor-General of ludia, and that the appointment
has been made at the solicitation of the East India Di-
rectors.

A LIBERAL PAPER DEFUNCT.—The Shrewsbury News
expired, after a protracted illness of seven years, on the
27th ult. It was the organ of the Radical faction Of
Shropshire, and has been driven from the field by the
Shropshire Conservative, a sound Protestant and Tory
journal.

THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAM SHIP.—The efforts of

ELECTIONEERING MOVEMENT AT ARINGDON.-31.1.•
Duffield, who has represented the borough of Abington
during four successive parliaments, has retired in conse-
quence, as he states in his address, "of the object of his,
political life having been attained in the establishment eL
a ministry possessing the confidence of the country." Mr'
Thesiger, the new Solicitor-General, bas issued an ad-
dress to the electors, and canvassed the town with the
greatest success.

THE COURT.—Arrangements have been made for the
departure of her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, accompanied by the infant royal family, from
Buckingham Palace for the Isle of Wight in the course
of the ensuing week. Her Majesty will reside in com-
parative retirement during the brief visit of the court►
which is not expected to extend beyond ten days or e
fortnight. Osborne-house has been engaged for the use
of the Sovereign for a period of only twelve months'
commencing from the Ist of this month. The court will
return to Buckingham Palace from Claremont Oil;
(Tuesday) afternoon.
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—Upon refer-
ence to Sir Robert Peel's speech in the House of Cote'
mons, on Thursday night, as reported in the Times, ft
would appear that Government would not only require .a
new bridge across the Meuai Straits, but also a more di-
rect, perfect, and expensive lin, than the projectors of this
railway have hitherto contemplated ; and with all the re-
quirements now proposed by Government, and the diffi-
culties to be contended with in forming what Sir Robert
Peel calls the most direct line, it is now strongly apPr,.,:
hended this railway bill cannot be sufficiently matured "s"
pass the Commons this session.—Correspondent. _ _

- -
The budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer has
thrown a considerable damp on the tea market in town.
At the public sale, which closed on Thursday, only 5,940
packages found purchasers, out of 36,84 C, at some reduc-
tion in price. The deliveries for consumption have also
fallen off in a slight degree, compared with last year. Up
to the 30th of April, the total deliveries from London, in-
cluding shipments coastwise and for exportation, was
11,062,000 lbs., against 11,738,000 lbs. at the co:r spond-
ing period last year. It is not supposed, however, that_,
there is any diminution in the actual consumption, but
that the difference has arisen from the dealers drawing
upon stock in the expectation that prices will be yet lower,
and that, at all events, there will be no advance.
WHITEHAVEN.—In consequence of the contemplates
extension of the Carlisle and Workington Ra lway to
Whitehaven, the old-established steam company of the
latter town have given orders for a first-rate iron steanx-
vessel, to be built under the direction of Mr. Grantham;
by which it is contemplated that the journey by sea scb
u'
be accomplished in little more than six hours, and
railway to Carlisle in two hours more. Such increase,
facilities of communication with these extensive mining
and agricultural districts, must prove of the utmost ad-
vantage to the population. Means of easy access will o'l'
be afforded to the western portion of the lake district.
Messrs. Fawcett, Preston, and Co. are to coast, uct the
engines of the new vessel, and they are to be made ou
direct acting principle, now generally adopted in the MO
improved vessels.
