lag the ezpressioo of the national mind and indigna-
tion, in the election of men as Representatives who
have uniformly- opposed' oppression and injustice,'
and stood by the CAW of the People. Who has
more firmly and inveryingly advocated the rights of
his injured countrymen than Sir FRANCIS Bunnarr ?I
Who has with more manly eloquence denounced
the official violators of the lionsitotionel Laws,
the traffickers in Seats, to the teeth, and
told them of the rsulingss of their offences ?
Who has shown more 4ntegrity of conduct, or
fitness in any
respect to tepresent the most Inde-
pendent City in the kingdom than Sir F. &mom?
Who has better exemplified sod given energy to the
principle upon which the Electors of Westminster
pride themselves rti, acting, than the man whom they
have hitherto considered as the spring of that'
pride and the hope of their. country
And shall a supporter of Lord Caetiltstann'sl
policybe allowed to step iss,and by carryiniptrw.gsy- savo.ll
spinal approbation, give the lie to all that has been said
• and witnessed and understood of the principles of the
inhabitants of Westminster? We do not wonder
that the prospect of such a disgrace to themselves,
and such a cause of triumph and future strength to
despotism, should arouse the popular mind, and than
the thinking inhabitants of Westminster, who bare
shown that they Meow their rights and are re-
solute to Maintain them, should feel the fall force
of thy words of their •lodependent Representative,
that " if they are swipui to the task of sustaining,

the Citizens of Westminitei prove by their con-

equal to sustain the high station they have ob•
tained in the esteem of the Country. What link
impaired their strength, or tended to reconcile than
to the system of political spoliation, corruption, and
oppression which they have hitherto so justly estimat.
ed and opposed?—which has robbed them of their pro.
pertiesand taken,ss their eloquent Representative feel-
ingly says, "hilt doe reward from the poor, his inherit.

'this is the sy steam •thet Wed and tyrannizes over

probating this odious,' lds ruinous and enslaving
system, and let a general. .effort be made in this
hour of the triumph of .our yet surviving Con-
stitution to shake off the lead of oppression, by
sending men to Parliament who will not abet such
disgusting measures, who will not join an insulting
Minister in his contempt of public opinion and hu.
'sanity, to the ruin of oar best interests, the destruc-
tion of the laws, and the disgrace of the nation.

appointed to be solemnized with great pomp at Cra-
cow on the 20th, a curious circumstance under a
Russian Government. The King of Swains has
been amusing the people of Stockholm with reviews,

direction of his son, Prince OSCAR. This military
display was witnessed by the distinguished Russian
General Ceuta:caner.

An important decision was given yesterday in the
Court of King's Bench, on the subject of Forged
Notes, which' it is extremely necessary the Public
should be folly acquainted :with, We recommend
the particulars which we have given in another page
to their Intention, on account of 'the opinion es-
pressed-by the LORD CIIIEV JUSTICE. The peculiar
case of the imprisonment of a person (Mr. Bnoraas,
a pawnbroker, of High Holborn) for retaining a
Forged Note, which bad been received and paid by
him in the ordinary way of circeletion, end which
afterwards came into his possession, has al-
ready been stated. It appears from the details
that Mr. BROOKS, having had the misfortune, in
common with many of es, of receiving a forged note,
which he afterwards paid away, was waited on by
Mr. WARWICK, an Inspector. Mr. BROOKS, on
ezarninlog the note, recollected of whom he took it,
and, having paid another note to the individual
through whose hands the forged note had passed from
him to the Bank, he refused to give it up again to
the Inspector, saying, be would himself endeavour
to trace the person from whom'he 'had received it.
—Upon this refusal, the Inspector charged Mr.
BROOK!, before a bisgistrate, with a felony, for
having in his possession a forged note, knowing it
to be forged; and on this charge Mr. BROOKS was
detained a prisoner for 24 hours. Mr. BROOKS
now brought his action for false and malicious
imprisonment, and obtained a verdict, under the di.
rectiou of Lord ELLENSOROUGH, who observed, that
it appeared to be a straggle whether the liberty pf
the subject pus to be infringed, or a Bank Clerk's
law declared to be wrong. No imputation could at.
tach to Mr. BROOKS, who had taken the note in the
fair course of his bisiness; and it having been again
delivered into his hands by the Bank, no one had so
much right to detain it as himself ; it appearing, that
he bad made it good to the person to whom he bad
originally paid it. Dimages of 501. were given to
Mr. BROOM. The Court was extremely crowded;
and the decision gave the most general satisfaction.
