orthis day will in,
.fee, !foie an intelligent Flii,
6,14 I. which will be found
,lanatotylafaimation on the
America. The questions included in a Ref%
the Representation now agitated io this country,
and the difference of opinion depressed in regerd
to
the most eligible plans for that purpose, render this
detailed View of the Americas laws, and practice pe-
culiarly valuable and desirable at the present mo-
ment. The eepositinn Ipjwbmitted is taken
from the best illustration. that could be• obtained
of the Law of Elections,,, and from the writer's
own actual observation at a late Election, for the
sole end septets purpose of giving us and his country-
men iti this hemisphere an accurate account ; and
we insert it verbatim, and with much satisfaction,
as if ever the People of Great Britain and Ireland
shall obtain a far- Representation, or make
.any thing like advances to it, the information
thus communicated may bsr of importance. It will
be obervtd, that the practice of America, which is by
ballot, does not accord in some respects with, and
may be considered as "other eativourable, to thi dm•
liaise of Universal Suffrage and open Elettion. But
-where is perfection to be foetid? .' The writer of the
letter has sent to us enclosed a few real ballots, to
give °cadet demonstration of the plan,, sad adds,
that in some places the election is finished in one.
day, instead of three, as is the rise in the city of
New York.
We are- glad we can contradict, upon well, an-
thentiestd information, the report which has been
circulated with malignant industry, stating that the
fire which happened at Manchester on Monday se'n-
night was the result of the machinations of the dis-
contented people who have renounced their labours
in that town. It appear', upon strict enquiry, and
by accounts from unquestionable authority, that the
fire was entirely accidental.

Although the Duke of KENT may be-now consi.,
dered only as a guest, hviotifinues to- avail himself
of every opportunity to do good : and from an Adver-
tisement this day it appears, that he will not only at-
tend on Tuesday nest, at the Anniiersary Meeting
of the Royal Institution, for educating one theustmd
children of all religious denominations, esta 400 hi*
North-street, City-road,-but Oat fieldrentis also to
introduce his illestrinef Consort to that Meeting,,
that she may be gratified by a display of British be-
ovotenee,ditectedou liberal principles to the instruc-

lion of the poor.
Tut QuEEN.—Yetsterday the account of the state
of her Majesty was..." The QUEEN is • much the
same as she has been for the last three or four days."
—The above is the Court circular account. Private'
information states, that though there be a. variety of
shade, and changes in her Majesty's health, ,the gene.
ral result is unfavourable, and her Majesty's strength

declines.

Most of the American ships which leave the Themes
carry out military stores in great abundance—cannon
balls, pieces of cannon, and gunpowder--taking in
the latter at the place assigned for loading cargoes of
Chat sort. One, which sailed five or sis weeks since, car!
'tied out several'24:poundirs, guns suitable to no vest
reel under the strength- of a frigate. The probability.
is, that such materials have been re-sold indirectly to
the South American Insurgents.

the same order to the Lodges where they dined. Th
concourse of people aloog the streets, at the church's

such multitudes.
