L he stale of Ireland came under the consideration of ji House of Lords on Tuesday night, and curious was figure which tht? chief opponent of Ministers made— taphsnt the answer of Lord Mulgrave in defence of t fcfelf and his government. The Marquess of West*. II) was the "public accuser" of the evening, and in It nphant the answer of lessons. in defence of of the most unparalleled pieces of oratory ever ad- Psed to a thinking assembly," denounced the head of jlrish executive as guiltv of pursuing a system of mal- piiiistration, which, if proved, would demand immedi- I impeachment. To give even a summary of the Noble rquess's charges would be tedious-to quote his words, hYing task-to clearly understand them, a philological fPossibility. His speech was one of passion and va- r, but finally resolved itself into one word—condem- IOn. As far as his exordium went, we understand him isclaim party feeling, but the moment he proceeds to rO, his case, the deeply tinged Orange coat of the trucu- unreasoning partisan is seen beneath the senatorial N. We will not inflict upon ourselves the trouble of ■'owing his Lordship seriatim, but we will select one of P heaviest of his charges, and see how it has been met I her Majesty's Lieutenant. At first we hear that any of the inhabitants of Ireland feel deeply wounded Hie conduct of the Earl of Mulgrave, who, disdaining be guided by the example of his predecessors, rather hies himself in seeking out the imaginary grievances of (particular party, in order to maintain a character for legating and redressing evils which do not exist, and ai *same lime in making experiments on the peace, secu- ty, and comfort of die people of that country." This "lIsatlon is most serious; but before we proceed to exa- itle one of the facts brought forward to maintain it, we )nee acknowledge that Lord Mulgrave has acted difrer. tfly from the great majority of his predecessors; and by Itli departure from the all but established precedents tr tyranny and misrule, which fill the archives of Dublin t^stle, he has earned for himself the confidence of hi> f°Vereign—the lore and affection of her Irish subjects. 7°rcl Mu1grave's mission, like that of the Earl of Fitzwil ialtils, in 1796, was one of peace; it was not like the Earl tamden's-one of blood; like the Earl of Cornwallis's -one of bribery and corruption; like the Duke of Rich- pond's—one of coercion; like the Earl of Whitworth's— of wait-a-while-for" justice; like the Earl of Had- ltlgton's, to again invoke and foster into vigorous activity 1 demon passions of the unappeasible Orange faction in reland. Lord Mulgrave went not forth like a Roman >ro-consul, to govern by the sword, and exact obedience y the fear of the gibbet and the gaol. No Western icily was to be maddened by the oppressions of another ^rres and his band of decorated and exacting courllcrs. i«0rd Mulgrave was the representative of William the f°Urth, as he is now of Queen Victoria, and, therefore, oUld not be an oppressor -could not be an instrument in he hands of a party, arrayed against a nation, lie has E-en firm, mild, and equitable, and has, of course, op- used to him all that is venal in Ireland, and all that is Actions here. But from such assailants as he could never lave any thing to hope, he has certainly nothing to fear. After some unmeasured abuse of Mi. O'Connell, we jpproach the first offence against "good order" charged Iome upon the Earl of Mulgrave. It is found in pro- eedings mixed up with the name of Sir Richard Nale. tapliears that towards the close of the government of the Marquess of Anglesea, that Hon. Baronet took the chair I a tithe meeting in Westmeath. The resolutions agreed > at that meeting attracted the attention of the then go- rnment, and finally Sir Richard Nagle was removed from W commission of the peace, the Marquess of Y\estm» ath irlg then the Lord Lieutenant of the county, and having Hken the usual steps to remove him from the commis- ion" The people of Westmeath, indignant at this slight lung upon a man of unimpeachable character, got up a equisition to call upon the dismissed justice of the peace .0 represent them in Parliament. Sir Richard Nagle at nce hearkened to the call made upon, and became a 'nember of the House of Commons, and remained so lill the close of the last session. Tardy justice has at length een done to him he has been again entrusted with the Commission, and is now on the eve of being appointed one k)f tier Majesty's Deputy Lieutenants for Westineathslure. rhis is one of the acts of Earl Mulgrave, for which he vVas charged for making experiments on the peace, se- curity, and comfort of the people of Ireland." Hear his reply As to Sir Richard Nagle, he had to say that the best proof of the propriety of the time which had been adopted with regard to that gentleman was, that the pre- Lord Chancellor of Ireland, who sanctioned his re>to Tation, tuas the Lord Chancellor of Ireland at the very lime Ihen, under the circumstances, he thought that st WHS a '&od step to take to have him removed from the deputy leutenancy of the county, and also from the commission the peace. As to Sir Richard Nagle himself, every one o knew him must be convinced that theie could no; be < more valuable character—one who was beloved and re- ected by all who knew him, and one, too, of the best bauistrates in his neighbourhood. The cause of the re- moval of Sir Richard Nagle was, that lie had attended an nti-titlie meeting; upon that occasion Sir Richard N.igle lad taken the chair; there was no political expression of Ms upon the subject beyond this but he was removed r6m the commission of the peace for having presided at that "meeting. Now the opinion of Sir R. Nagle, and that of a majority of the Irish people, was against the present ar- rangement of the tithe question; but Sir it. Nagle and the people, too, had learned the advantage of having the law C)n their side) and would no longer set themselves up in defiance of the law, and the consequence was, that their Lordships did not now hear of such meetings being held n the country with men of the weight and importance 01 Sir Richard Nagle presiding over them. Sir Richard Nagle always paid his tithes! In the one view he had Inl), constructively encouraged the opposition to tithes, while in the other he had taken the positive step of p;iy- flig them. (Hear, hear.) With regard, then, to Sir Iiichaid Nagle, he did not think it necessary to say any thing •^ore."—We certainly think so, and feel that the brilliant Ih..l convincing speech which his Lordship made was thrown away upon such an opponent. Every statement ade by the Marquess of Westmeath was most ably re- futed, and the reply to the wish uttered by the NOJle Marquess, that Ireland had no representatives in Parlia- ment, was such as should fall from the lips of a constiiu- ional Peer of the realm. Well could he say to the M »r- uess of Westmeath, "that he did not envy him his feel- .rn:s;" truly could he further add, "that the mere asser. ion of the Noble Lord would henceforth not be sufficient or him, and that when the Noble Lord rose in his place in Parliament, he would not say that he did not believe him, hut that it would not be enough for the Noble Lord in his place in Parliament to tell them what he fancied he had heard, or what he believed he was told. (Cheers.) He assured the Noble Lord he should distrust his autho- rity, and even in any official reports coming from the Noble Lord, he would require tone further confirmation ■)f them -somethincr more than his assertion! for the Noble Lord had proved himself too credulous in believing, and too careless in asserting (Loud cheers.) Poor Lord Westmeath how delicately you have been told that, like ihe M'Ghees and O'Sullivans of fanatical notoriety, you +re a-tiot a teller of truth! and that for the future your statements to be believed must be cc rroborate for, a as you are too credulous in believing too careles in as serting." But we consign his Lordship to liis-blushes ,it)d the contempt of his brother Peers, fen ent y praying ihat his degradation may be shared by every tltled and untitled traducer of his country. The British public have now before them a debate, which will shew how false and absurd are the charges daily and weekly made by the Tory press against the liberal government of Ireland-and made, too, for the purpose of sowing dissensions between the Sister Kingdoms. The elections are at hand, and the candidatejthat will resort to lie hacknied stories of "Irish turbulence and Popish rebellion," will he laughed down for his pains, and will not even catch a hovering voter for repeating fables that have been consigned from Loids to Bishops, from Bishops to Aldermen, fn>m Aldermen to old women, and from old women to the Kenyons, the Rodens, the Piumnes, and the Hardys of Exeter Hall. The Earl of Durham, author of the Reform Bill, has been called upon for the expression of his opinions respecting the momentous struggle in which the people of the United Kingdom are about to ftngftgfei and manfully and nobly has this Consistent Iteforitofer ahd able Senator answered the demand made upon his patriotism. Iljs ad- dress is ostensibly to the electors of North Durham, but in reality to the electors of England and Wales, Ireland and Scotland. Let all those who hear his words imagine them- selves personally addressed, and agree with him that the present is not moment when supineness and apathy can be tolerated, for trulv "on the energies and determination of the Liberal part* in all cl;1se depetld the destinies Of the eirhpirb." Lord Durham (and let it not be forgotten that the son-in-law of Earl Grey is understood to deliver the sentiments of the" Father of Reform") most truly says, that a most glorious opportunity presents itself of strength- ening that great cause of Reform and amelioration to which we have been so lona devoted. A new reign has com- menced," says the Noble Iord, "OUR SOVEUEIGN, with all the cordial confidence of an open heart snd gens reus feeling, is AS rUfcfeb HERSELF UNRESERVEDLY IN THE HANDS OF A LIBEKAL GOVERNMENT. Let u then," says the Noble Earl, "by our exertions justify that step, and add to their means of efficiently serving her Majesty. Let us unite round her throne all that is good and wise and patriotic in the Kingdom. Let our watchwords he, the Queen and Liberty, the Queen and the Constitution, the QUEEN and REFORM Whatever principles (further adds the Earl of Durham) are most dear to us—most deeply implanted in the hearts of the peoplie of England—ittay be without reservation identified with the name of the Sove- reign. Educated by one of the best and wisest of her sex, her illustHotls mother, our Queen knows that no throne is so secure as that which is based on the affections of its subjects,—no crown sits so lightly, so gracefully, as that on which are harmoniously blended the liberties of the people and the prerogatives Of mdri&ithy."—Thfese obser- vations of Lord Durham are at the present moment of the very tirst importance, as they unequivocally tell that the Queen of England is in heart and soul with her people, and that to her people she looks for aid in preserving a Reforming Ministry in their places. Lord Durham is known to have been for years the confidential adviser of the Duchess of Kent, and the sentiments he now utters are the sentiments of Kensington Palace. Meân, fdlsfc-iieahedj and traitorous must be then that man, who, once profess- ing reforming opinions, can now for an instant debate on what side to give his vote. His Sovereign, his duty, and his conscience call upon him to vote for the independence of his country, and not for a party, one of whose lights, the Duke of Cumberland, just elevated to the throne of Hanover, has refused to receive the address oT the Consti- tulionol Chamber of his States! His conduct would be that of all his friends if free from the restraints Which the policy of the "Tamworth Sophist" has imposed upon them for electioneering purposes. Let the Reformers of every class reflect on this, and go to the hustings under banners on which are inscribed the magic words "The Queen and Liberty—The Queen and the Constitution—The QUEEN and REFORM!" From the electors of the United Boroughs of Monmouth* shire we call for particular attention to Lord Dutham's addrels-they see what is expected from them as forming part of the constituency of the kingdom —they see that in supporting Mr. BtEWiTt they are supporting the couse of the youthful QUEEN, and maintaining those principles on which" depend the destinies of the empire." Whoever falters now is an enemy to the best interests of the State- let all then be up and doing, and let only one political consideration occupy men's minds—the return of a Liberal candidate for Boroughs for which formerly such severe struggles were made to achieve their independence. For Lord Durham's noble rindication of himself we refer to his address, which will be found in another part of our paper.

CHANCERY REFORM, It is not, perhaps, generally known that Mr. Blewitt, the favourite Candidate for the Monmouthshire Boroughs at the approaching election, was brought up to the profession of the law, and that from a very early age he devoted particular attention to the principles and practice of the Court of Chancery. Dis- gusted with the atrocious instances of delay and ex. pence, which came under his notice, Mr. Blewitt, in the year 1827, boldly attacked the Augean stable, in a power- ful satire, entitled "THE COURT OF CHANCERY," which caused so great a sensation at the time, that all the copies were eagerly bought up, and the work is now out of print. Mr. Blewitt is not a mere electioneering Reformer, pro- fessing principles of convenience and promises of evasion, but a man actuated by honest impulses-the sincere ad- vocate for the pure dispensation of justice between man and man—and the indignant avenger of corruption. In the following extract from Mr. Blewitt's satire, the punishments of the Heathen Pandemonium are felicitously applied to the innocent victims of the Court of Chancery: Ye heathen bards, in whose Tartarean hell Hope withering droops, and mercy sighs farewell Dark scene of horror, punishment, and fear!— ) Behold its agonies depicted here — Another Tantalus attempts to sip The welcome spring, that flows to mock his lip Another Sisyphus rolls up the stone To some tan height, from which it thunders down; Here wretched Dames, who never did a crime In filling sieves are doom'd to spend their time. Here, too, Ixions writhe upon a wheel With pangs that disappointment makes them feel; While Tityus lies by Justice thrown aback, And owns the tortures of a sharper rack Despair, the vultuie on his liver feeds, And laps each gory life-drop as it bleeds,— Screams with delight at the prolonged repast, And owns no more the anguish of a fast!

BRISTOL. LAUNCHING OF THE GKEAT WESTERN STEAM Siiip.-Our readeis are already aware that this ceremony is to take place on Wednesday next. It is intended to get the ship off the stocks before ten o'clock, and by eleven to have her secured alongside the company's premises, Messrs. Paterson and Mercer's yard. A stage will then be placed by which the company intending to partake of the banquet, will walk on board from the booth now in course of erection. Tables will be laid for as many as have tickets on the cabin deck, where more than 1000 persons can be conveniently seated as far as we can lean at present covers will be laid for about 300. Everything will be placed on the tables, even to Champagne glasses, before the launch takes place, which shews what confidence the builders have that the vessel will glide smoothly off the ways of course the cus- tomary rocking must be dispensed with. The directors have been compelled to close the premises for the present while the necessary pieparations are making. P. Maze, Esq., the Chair- man of the Board, will preside at the banquet, and we under- stand the Mayor will also be present the lady of our respected member Philip John Miles, Esq., will nat-ne the ship. In the evening the Chairman entertains at dinner, the Mayor, our two Members of Parliament, the Directors of the Company, and likewise the Directors of the Cotton Company, with many other gentlemen of the city and neighbourhood. It is with the ut- most sincerity that we cordially wish every success to attend this spirited undertaking, which has been set on foot, and now is about to be accomphshed at an enormous outlay, not so much for the purposes of individual profit, as for the advancement of the great interests of our city, by the extension of her trade and commerce. Saturday being the day appointed for the interment of his late Majesty, was observed with much solemnity in this city. From the heat of the weather, and the consequent danger of perishable articles, it was found impracticable to alter the day of holding the public markets, but nearly every shop in the city was entirely closed, and the streets (with the exception of some electioneering proceedings) shewed a total abstinence of busi- ness. The bells began to sound their mournful knell directly after twelve o'clock Friday night, and continued throughout the wl.ole of Saturday. On Sunday funeral sermons weie preached at most of the churches and chapels. Those members and their friends who attended Dr. Riley's luminous demonstration of the osteology of the elephant and of ihe mammoth, at the Institution on Thursday, June 29th, will recollect that the Doctor particularly mentioned the (act that, su h rem nns not only occurred in considerable numbers in Itnly| but also in this country in corioboration of these views it will I be gratifying to know, that last week, whilst the woikmen w»ie excavating stthe Great Westein Cotton Factory, 'n St. Philip s, a remarkably fine bus> of t inairsmoth was discovered in the gavel immediately oVerlying the red maioia ifi a depth of Vjrelve teet.

A NTFCDOTE of THE LA+E Ktsf?;—The following anecdote is rfelaited by an inhabitant of Lincoln, respecting his late Majesty I when a boy; At the pteridd Cocks Heath Camp was formed, the narrator of this a a gmatt dram-boy in one of the regi- ments a boy about his own age, apparently belonging to some officer, attached himself to him and constantly sodght his com- pany, particularly at practice time, which was in a retued part outside the camp, and ultimately became his pupil to be taught to drutn; Jjittle knowing who his companion was, and less caring to inquiries, they saited each other well, so that with play and drumming they hfefcarM 4s thick as Sncle-weavers so free was their intercourse, the master never heSitatSd to dp- ply the common punishment to inattention and negligence, of rapping the knuckles of the pupil with the drum-sticks. One of those b6'js' Amusements was Bying a very large kite, which attracted a very general dttfnWn in the camp, and to which Prince William contributed 5s for string. Thi-j went on to the mutual delight of the boys, but at length the pteai^ire was broken one evening, while they were thus engaged, call waii in given through the camp for Prince William although it was repeated within the hearing of the boys, they proceeded witlj tlielf striiuseifififlt apparently as if it was no concern of theirs. An aide-de-camjSgallypptd up to the spot, and taking oft his hat to the campanion of the drumrftif-boy, said "his Highness was wanted." The charm of the fellowship' waf broken: the drummer-boy became dumb-founded, and when desired to begin to play again, something was stammered out about begging his Highness's pardon for what he had done, and for the heeddrb used ■ ts play as before was impossible a recollection of his former freedoni almo'Si pt,rif;ed him, and the words your Highness" were for ever dropping frorii hi: lips. Ihe royal boy at last told him, if he did not give over call- ing him Highness," and play in the same manner as he did be/ore, he would have him up and well flogged.

RAILROADS.— Without a pidc.icSl scciuaintance with the l subject, no definite ideas can be foimed as to dl paf'ic^lars of the vast expenses attending an undertaking of this description. It may not be uninteresting to the general reade. to cite a few examples of these points, which we will take from the London and Birmingham line, now rapidly progressing towards com- pletion. The cost of levelling, excavating, tunnelling, filling upi &c., averages ),Doo per mile j onj mile alone, between Primrose-hill and Camden on, cost £ 300,000; in consequence of the extraordinary difficulties which presented themselves, The grand entrance, or portico, at the back of feusion-sqiiare, will not be completed under £ 30,000. The masonry at the mouth of the tunnel, by Primrose-hill, will cost f7,000. It is composed of the finest Portland stone, and, when finished, will have a most handsome effect. The blocks of granite, upon which the iron rails rest for a considerable portion of the line, are a guinea a pair. On other parts the rails rest upon logs of wood, a plan which is considered, in some respects preferable. Labourers' wages amount every week to about £ 40,000. The total amount of capitat invested in this speculation is estimated at sev«n millions and- upwards. the 17th instatlt is talked of as the day for opening about sixty miles of this railway but persons acquainted with the state of the works, suppose that it must be postponed to the 1st of August. Twh classes of carriages will run the speed of the first class will aveiage 30 miles per hour, and of the second, 18 or 20. The fare for passengers by the first class to and from Birmingham will be about 23s or 245 each, and by the second class a third less. the first class will perform the distance in fotlr hours. At Birmingham the road is connected with the line recently opdied to Manchester, and, when the whole is completed, we shall be able to reach Liverpool in eight hours and a half. On the trains arriving within a mile of London: the locomotive engines are to be taken off, and a rope, worked by stationary steam ma- chinery, is to be attached to the carriages, and thus they will be wound up as it were, to the place of their destination. The stations for this purpose are now in a state of great forwardness; they are situated near the canal bridge, in the fields between, Chalk-farm and Camden Town. MAGNIFICF.NT ENTERTAINMENT or THE MARQUESS OF HERT- FORD The beautiful villa and grounds of this nobleman in the Regent's-park, were thrown open on Monday night to the whole fashionable world, with one of those splendid ftiea for which his lordship's refinement and taste are so well known, Upwards of 1000 cards of invitation, we understand, were issued, and nearly the whole were accepted, the line of car- riages at one time forming a double line from the villa nearly to the inew-road but the regulations were judicious, and no ma- terial inconvenience arose from the number of guests, which in. cluded all the elite of rank and fashion. The grounds, upper lawn, and flower garden, and lake, with the facade of the pavi- lion, St. Dunstan's tower and clock, See., were most brilliantly illuminated with innumerable variegated lamps on the lawn were several devices, formed of coloured lamps, representing palm trees, drooping willows, orange trees, &c. The flight of marble steps, communicating from the upper to the lower lawn, was made available for the first time, and it is an improvement, where improvement appeared next to an impossibility. The columns on either side of it, supporting busts of the Cæsars, were also illuminated. Some splendid marquees were erected by Mr. B. Ldgington, and formed an agreeable retreat from the heat of the ball-room. The whole arrangements, as night ap- proached, presented a scene truly oriental in splendour and tnagnificence. The company began to arrive before ten o'clock IInd after passing through the vestibule, were received in the blue-striped reception-room by the noble host (who appeared In better health than usual), and his eldest son, Lord Yar- mouth, and Count and Countess Emanuel Zicby, &c. The elegant ball-room (called the Russian saloon) was thrown open, brilliantly illuminated by a new and costly chandelier, by Hancock and Rixon, with side branches, girandoles, &c. Weippert's full quadrille band were stationed in the orchestra, and about eleven o'clock the ball was opened with a new set of quadrilles. Lord Yarmouth, who has recently arrived from the continent, on a visit to his father, and was present for the first time on such an occasion, appeared amongst the most animated and graceful in the dance. Many distinguished foreigners were present. Amongst the number was the Duke of Elchingen, second son of Marshal Ney. About one o'clock, a sumpiuous supper, consisting of innumerable removes, was served up to the numerous visitors in the new supper rooms, the whole ar- rangements being excellent. Occasionally duiing the night, crimson, green, and gold-coloured Bengal tights ittuminated the whole horizon. A military band was stationed on the lawn, and during the intervals of the dance performed a variety of pleasing compositions. The festive dance was kept up till past six o'clock on Tuesday morning. The whole ariangements were under the able direction of Mr. Mackay, of his Lordship's household. The company, we have already said, included all the Foreign Ambasssadors and Ministers, and the principal nobility and gentry in town. PTOORESSIVK RISE OF A PORTION OF THE BOTTOM OF THE MEDITERRANEAN.—M. Theodore Viriet, addressed a note to the French Academy of Science, in which he directed the at- tention of geologists to the probability of the speedy appearance of a new island in the Grecian Archipelago, in consequence of a trachytic obsidianin the gulf of a volcano of Santorin. The following are the author's observations on this subject To- wards the end of the last century, at the period Oliver visited Santorin, the fishermen of the islands asserted that the bottom of the sea had recently risen considerably between the islands of Little Kalmeni and the port of Thera in fact, the soundings did not give a greater depth than 15 to 20 fathoms, where for- merly the bottom could not be reached. When Col. Bury and the author visited this island in 1829, they were able not only to confirm the truth of Oliver's statement, but to ascertain by the various soundings, that the rise of the submarine land had continued, and that the point indicated the depth was no more than four fathoms and a half. in 1830 the same observers made new soundings, which enabled them to determine the form and extent of the mass of rock, which in less than a year had been elevated half a fathom. It was found to extend 800 fathoms from east to west, and 500 from north to south. The submarine surface augmented gradually to the north and west, from four to 29 fathoms while to the east and south augu- mentation amounted to 45 fathoms. Beyond this limit the soundings indicated in all directions a very great depth. I have lately been informed that Admiral Lalande, who since 1830 has twice returned to Santorin, ascertained that the rock still continues to rise and that, in'September, 1835, the date of the last visit, the depth of water amounted to only two fa- thoms, so that a sunken reef now exists which is dangerous for brigs to approach. If the rock continues to rise at the same rate, it may he calculated that in 1840 it will form a new island, without, however, those catastrophes which this pheno- menon seems to presage for the Gu)fof Santorin, being a neces- sary consequence of the epoch appearance of the surface of the water. Since the eruptions of 1707 and 1712, which produced the new Kalmeni, the volcano seems at the pirsent date quite I extinct. Nevertheless, the rise of a portion ot its surface seems 'o demonstrate continual efforts to make an eruption duiing 50 years.—Philosophical Journal.

In consequence of tlffi <&«*««« of Parliament, which is SfiWtly expected to take plaCe, we slnff! 5* called upon to exer- cise our tkm franchise—and n*vef. d?t» 4 ttwre Impoitant duty devolve, not cJM.; "Vpon' our boroughs, but the KjAgtfem at large, than that they "will be c^led upon to fulfill at the forth- coming election. On the one side arc advocates of misrule and corruption, on the other we have the aavitaies of free re- presentation and Reform in our institutions. Brother tJectors ii m b% for us to decide which shall prevail. You are #ell aware that tot of a century previous to the passing cf our glorious Reform ktill Mr boroughs were noi represented but misrepresented, by Tories. In iti6 fhtt Contest.

D < r In consequence of the very heavy expenses incitttCa ra right- ing, single-handed, the united Tories of our boroughs, Mr. Hall, our present excellent representative, has thought it pru- dent to uanoance his intention of not again offering himself as a candidate. To save as from the disgraceful state from which we had but just emerged, Mr, Blewitt, at much personal in- convenience, has, at our solicitation, nobly come forward and I therefore urge it upon you, Brother El .ecter. M-t sacred duty, to rally round the Champion of our Independence. Brother Electors !-yoa have only to look at Mr. Bleitt's address and I think all of you (not Tories), will be satisfied that it breathes every thing that is liberal in it you will per- ceive that rtlt, B. advocates every reform that any reasonable man can wish for, should he be returned to Parliament (which I have not the slightest doObl n. will), he will not deviate fiom his professions. Brother Electors !—I beg to impress tfpon your minds that the forthcoming election will be the greatest struggle that has ever taken place in this kingdom. The Tories wtll know theirs' is a desperate and fallen cduse-they will make great sacrifices will fight with desperation—let us imitate them in their et,eigti their perseverance, and their union-let us be true to ourselves, aod not only our borougfrs, but the kingdom at large will be rid for ever of this grasping, avaricious, and bigoted faction. i Before I conclude, let me entreat you not to be mislead by any false representations of our enemies let me beseech you to sacriflce etery private feeling for the public benefit; he who does not do stl OS the present important occasion, will be con sidered an enemy and a trailer to his country. I remain, Brother Electors, With every confidence in your integrity and patriotism, Youi obedient servati, ifewprrt, July 12, 1837. AN ELECTOR.

TIDE.-Tlie high tMe which took place the 4th of May at Saint Brieux, on the coast iff nretagne, in sweeping away the pebbles of the shore, discovered retinitis of a submarine fort st. Pic;mivs.-A shoit distance from Coshectsro, Ohio, U.S., a tinautar ancient burying ground has been latefy discovered.— It is e'titated" says a writer in Silliman's Journal on one of those elevated, gravelly alluvions, so common on the rivers of the west. From some f £ rft3?ns of wood, still apparent in the earth around the bones, the bodies seem all to have been depo- sited in coffins and what is still more c'Ofious, is the fact that the bodies buried here were generally not more then from three to foot and a half feet in length. They are very narnsrous, and must have frsen tenants of a considerable city, or their numbers could not Sieve been so great. A large number of graves have been opened, the ifjmstes of which are all of this pigmy race. No metallic articles tfr Stensils have yet been found, to throw light on the period or the ttvtio-) to which they belonged." # Fox.—The ftew fox brought from Algiers by M. Bcfd;ci;on, and presented by hirfí fo the Menagerie at the Jardin du 11 or of Paris, is ten months old, Utti not so large astheordn.ar) fox, which it resembles in its fur, but k is of a redder colour on the chine and flanks the throat, lips, breast, belly, and inside of the thighs are all of the most silvery white. The (aH, nearly as long as the body, is ornamented with a semi-circle of black hairs, and terminated by a plume of white. Its head and muz- tie are eloagattdi the skull more flattened, the neck thlnntr, and the ears vvfjori longer,, nearer to each other, and placed more on the top of the head Hks a mule; than the fox of north- ern climates. It barks like a yotltig dfrg, emits a fetid oticur when fed on living prey, and in that case dfifiks but liile when fed on vegetables it is docile and obedient, although ten days of a contrary diet restore it to its natural ferocity. I t, however, never entirely loses its taste for poultry and if it do not eat the fowls which stray near him, it hunts them and kills them, biding them afterwards. EXTIUOITBISAHV ANICDOTE OF A DOG.-An ill-fated cat fell into ihe hattds cif some yotiflg rtiffisns, who commenced the first stage of cruelty; which erffen leads to great climes and to an ignominious end the little etches had passed fiOm cruelty to cruelty, alternately stoning their viciiftf zrhd dragging it through a dirty pool of water, then beating and bitfisifrg it, and menacing it with drowning. Bipeds passed by. unheeding the animal's cries of distress, which were now nearly coming io a close with its life, when a feeling quadruped came forward to save it. dog; having contemplated for some time this s. ene of inhumanity, and barksd his diapprobatiou thereof, rushed for- ward on the young assassinj, tttid; dnt-Sng them, one by one, furiously off the spot, sprang to the rescue of the fainting and bleeding animal, and, withdrawing it from the tt £ #p ditch, bare it off in triumph to his quarters. There, exiending it tfpon strdoi ad licking it all over, he recalled the vital spark, and than, laying hiriiS&!f down upon it, restored it to some degrt e of ease, from the warmth imparted tc i. After this, the kind and feeling dog fetched provision to his siå charge, and the people of the house, inspired by the example of the iiilfSor animal, gave it warm milk. Day after day did the dog tend the si k object of his care, until it was perfectly recovered and they are both to be seen at this day, after a long lapse of years, at the Talbot lun.

PROSPECTS OF THE GROUSE SEASON.—We are happy to be enabled to state that our information from all quarters con curs in representing the prospects of a good grouse season as highly flattering. On the lower hills, in particular, the covies are nu, merous and the birds strong. Upon the higher districts the prospects are not so good, arising from the severity of the sprinu and the long continuance of snow on the mountains, rtliich drove in many cases the birds to the lower ground at the pairing season, and where the grouse hatch they remain during the following summer.-Pei-tit Courier. YANKEE WIT. — A pedlar with his cart overtaking another of his clan on the road, was thus addressed :—" Hallo what do you carry?" "Drugs and medicines," was the reply." Good returned the other, you may go a-head I carry grave-stones." COWES, JULY 1.—Mr. Weld has accepted a challenge from some gentlemen of Liverpool to sail his cutter Alarm against a Baltimore clipper (lately taken, a slaver) for XIOOO the match to come off at Cowes about the 10th of next month. We understand that more houses on the Grosvenor Estate have been sold and let since the Queen has made known her intention of occupying the new palace, than in the three pre- ceding years. A TASTY NOTICE,-The editor of the Fieter (American) News having been imposed upon by some wicked wag, who forwarded him a fictitious notice of a marriage, has given notice that he will in future deem all matrimonial notices unauthenlie, unless accompanied by a large slice of biide cake. ELOPEMENT IN BEDFonn.-A gentleman in office under the Harper trustees has this week run off to Gretna with an accom- plished girl, of about eighteen years of age, the daughter of a widow lady, residing in Priory-terrace. This is the second elopement from Bedford within these few months, a pupil of Dr. Witt's having previously run off with a young heiress, the daughter of a retired solicitor, resident in Bedford. The following nairative of a semi-tragical scene which took place on board the Czarowi.'ch steam-packet, on a late voyage from Havre to Hamburgh, is given by the Hamburgh Cones poudent. An elderly Russian lady had taken her passage, ac- companied by a dog remarkable for its uglines, but of which she took as much care as if it had been her only child. The exhibition of so much affection to an object so apparently un. worthy excited the "espiegleries" of the cabin-boy and two other mischievous imps, who, after some manoeuvres, enticed the animal from his mistress, and threw him overboard. The cry of the dog on emerging from the waves caught the ear of his mistiess, who, without a moment's reflection, plunged after him, and caught him in her aims. For a lime she was borne upon the surface by her clothes, but as these became saturated with water, she began to sink, and would have been drowned with her protegt, but for the humanity of the sailors, who jumped into the sea, and succeeded in rescuing them both from death. When the lady recovered from her alarm she made the hold sailor a magnificent present, and has since secured to. him a pension for life, declaring that as all this was done, not as a re- ward for saving her, but for restoring to her her dog, which was the only relic left her on earth of a faithful husband, to whom she was tenderly attached. The sagacity of savages often transcends all that the boasted learning of schools can show. A North American Indian, up- on returning home to his cabin, discovered his venison, which had been hung up to dry, was stolen. After taking his obser- vatlons on the spot he set ofl in pursuit of the thief, which he tracked through the woods. Meeting some persons on his route, he inquired if they had seen a little old white man, with a short gun, and accompanied by a small dog with a bob tail 1 They answered in the affirmative anJ, upon the Indian assur- ing them that the man thus described had stolen his venison, they desired to be informed how he was able to give so minute a description of a person whom, to them, it appeared he had never seen 1 The Indian replied, "The thief, I know, is a little man, by his having made a pile of stones to stand upon in order to reach the venison from the height at which I hung it while standing on the ground that he is an old man I know by his short steps, which I have traced over the leaves in the woods and that he is a white man I know by his turning out his toes when he walks, which an Indian never does. His gun I know to be short from the mark which the muzzle made by rubbing the bark of the tree against which it had leaned that his <!og is smalt I know by his track and that he has a hvt<-it;it 1 di«(over, d v ihe mark it made in the dust wlu-te he SI tIll: g I" h- il .:Her was busied about my meat."

Dr. Johnson, when in Scotland, complained sturdily of the paucity of trees but should his spiiit ever revisit the glimpses of the moon, it can no longer say, that from Berwick to the Orcades all is barren, if we except the Hebrides; and a few other clustered or lonely Isles. When an English nobteman. who had visiied Wigtownshire, inquired of a former Earl of § Gallovvaf in Loudon, whether he had still his seven tree:, the? bold Baron f€f»!i«d. I have now seven millions;" and this id merely a sample en Hw umbrageous change that has taken place over the whole countty. The Hampshire magistrate* have discovered that the unusual mortality which has lately OclJtte-d 111 ihe county prison, has been owing to the substitution of oatmeai instead of wheateri flour, which latter they have found it necessary to return to.— This remind. us of Dr. Johnson's celebrated de/lnli'on of oats, as being the food of man in Scotland, but of horses in Erg-i land." lImING A DOOR.—"But pray, Johnny," interruped tijs mother, "where do these people think you live?"

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, THCRSOAV EVENING. The foreign arrivals to-day contain no intelligence of import- ance. There was a rumour at Lisbon of a new revolution. The approaching election is the engrossing topic of conversa- tion, and the best informed on that subject concur in the opi- nion that the liberal majority in the House of Commons will acquire a considerable accession in the next Parliament. Great enthusiasm is felt and expressed by the people at large in the cause of our young and amiable Queen, in which the Tories pretend to participate but joy is far from them, the recent appointments in her Majesty's Household assure them that their cause is doomed, those appointments indicating a policy which will necessarily produce an entire and hearty union of the Court and popular parties. Where will the power of the faction be, when deprived of the back-stairs influence, which was, unhap- pily, too successful during the last reign in marring every libe- ral and beneficial measure contemplated or introduced by Go- vernment. However they are determined to die in the last trench; and are preparing for the coming contest, animated, not by patriotism or loyalty, but by the feelings which arise from humbled arrogance, disappointed ambition, and despair. Mr. Lyall, not wishing to make another attempt on the representa- tion of London, has resigned his pretensions to Mr. Ilorsley Palmer, who is backed by many of the monied aristocrats of the City, who have already brought into play those means of intimidation within their reach, and with the use of which they are so familiar. But all will not do—the majority which re- turned four Liberal members in 1835, has suffered no diminu- tion in number or in spirit; and there is little doubt entertained that they will do the same upon the present occasion. There has not been much doing in the Stock Market to-day. Consols, 921 6,

Saturday last, being the day appointed for consigning to the tomb the remains of our late revered Sovereign, was observed with great propriety and decorum in this town. Every shop was closed, and business altogether suspended for the day. Di- vine service was performed in St. Woollos Church, which was attended by a numerous congregation, who seemed to be deeply impressed with the solemnity of the occasion. The bells conti- nued to loll the melancholy knell of death at intervals through- out the day. We gladly avail ourselves of the permission which we hnve received 10 give publicity to the following letier. It has been received by Mr. Frazer, treasurer to the fund for the reo turn of Mr. Blewitt to Parliament free of expense. The writer is a professioual gentleman of great eminence in London, and one as much distinguished for the excellence of his private character, as for his public worth. His munificence on this occasion bears ample testimony to the sterling merit of Mr. Blewitt, whose great talents and straightforward conduct have elicited so striking a mark of approbation from such a quarter SIR.-Though I do not concur i,lI the political opiions of my friend Mr. Blewitt, I cannot pause in ottering my subscription <.£50) towards promoting his return to Parliament for the Monmouthshire Boroughs, for I have ever considered the interests of the community are best se- cured by the ablest of every party being in the House, and with the bast opportunities of etimating my friend's worth, I know him to be entitled to be enrolled in the first rank. I hare the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, 'WIGllTWICIC ROBERTS. 57, Lincoln's Inn Fields, 10th July, 18S7. The excitement incident 10 a contested election, has called forth a host of advocates on both sides, who have ap. pealed to the press in support of their respective parties. The town has abounded with anonymous productions, in prose arid verse, many of them highly creditable to the talenK of writers, for the powers of satire, irony, or sarcasm they We have seen one, however, emanating from the Tory camp, which contain two misstatements, so gross and so palpable they must only excite laughter on the part of those acquainted with their manoouvres. At the sime time, to others, who may not be aware of the means resorted to to mislead them—we wish to state facts. One placard, or hand-bill, issued by the Toiies asserts that upon Mr. Bailey's canvass, he has a majority of 37 that is the first falsehood they next say that Mr. Blewitt will decline the contest; poor fellows, they speak as they wish without a shadow of truth to support them. As to the majority of 37, its all fudge. Then with respect to Mr, Blewitt's de- clining the contest, they will know to their discomfiture, that such is not—cannot be the case. What paltry tricks they re- sort to, in hopes of catching a stray vote. Since writing the foregoing, we are fully borne out by authority,—and victory to Mr. Blewitt, the Liberal candidate, so far as the canvass goes, is certain. We understand that within the last ten days Mr. Ball has received two deputations requesting that he would allow himelf to he put in nomination for different seats in England and Scotland, and thai tlv y actually suspended their determina- tion for another representative (on learningthat Mr. Hall consi- dered himself in a great measure bound to abide by the decision of the Marylebone electors), until the final result of the Mary- lebone meeting was made known,—which, as will be seen, de- cided on not giving up Mr. Hall. Sir John Scott Lilly, a Reformer, and gallant officer, has offered himself as the other liberal candidate for Marylebone. No less than three Physicians have announced their in- tention of practising at Monmouth, consequent upon the re- moval by death of the late Dr. Bevan.

CRICKET MATCH BETWEEN THE MONMOUTHSHIRI: AND HEREFORD CI.UBS.—This interesting match, which has been looked forward to for some time with pleasing anticipations by the members of both these clubs, was played on Tuesday last on the cHcfeet groiiad at Hereford, and afforded milch gratification to the ibverg cf this riidniy ati.d trlily English game. R?r6ty have we sefea a coticurtehce of circiimstarices better calculated to rouse the energies of the contending parties than those which presented themselves, and indeed the players availed them- selves of their inspiriting influence. The weather was fine, the ground in admirable order, and the spectators numerous and well-conducted. There were several carriages upon the ground, from which the approving smiles of many a fair patroness of the nobie sport beamed down upon the iieid ahd the pan»es; by the display of skill which their play afforded, proved that they were not undeserved. There were also several marquees and booths upon the ground, which in the intervals afforded both shelter and refreshment to the players and the spectators. The reception given to the Monmouthshire Club by the members of that of Hereford was truly hospitable, and gratifying in the ex- ttemt; and will DO doubt be duly acknowledged at ltasland on Tuesday heilti wfiferi the ietiith mdtcfi ytiil be played. This match was particularly interesting fiom tlie circumstance of one or two previous ones being closely contested, all of which, how. ever, were won by the Monmouthshire Club. The playing upon the whole was good, with the exception perhaps of the fielding, and there the deficiency is accounted for by want of practice on the part of the Monmouthshire Club, arising fiom the irregular attendance of the members at the Ragland meet- ings. A strong muster of the clilb is, however, expected titi Tuesday next, at the returti match.—We haVfe befen kindly fa^ Vbiired with the following score of the plsiy oil Tuesday :— HEitÈPokD. 1st INNINGS. 2d INNINGS.

Tota),Hereford. 160 Total, Monmouth 162 Majority in favour of Monmouthshire (with three wickets to go down) We beg to call particular attention to the advertisement of Mr. Strickland, surgeon mechanist, of Bristol, which appears in another column. The mechanical contrivances devised by this gentleman for reducing distortions, either natural or acci- dental, and restoring the limbs, or other structures of his patienti to such a state as would induce an observer to suppose that no deformity had ever existed, are such as to afford equal gratifica- tion to the proficient in mechanical and anatomical science. We have heard of several instances of the successful application of these contrivances, and recommend such of our readers as may labour under any of the affections specified in the adver- tisement, to have reconrse to the aid of Mr. Strickland. Parliamentary electors, who live in ten-pound houses in cities and boroughs, will lose their votes unless they pay, on or before the 20th July instant, all poor's-rates and window-taxes due prior to the 6th of April last, whether demanded or not. Scot mid lot voters will be disfranchised unless they pay, on or be- fore the 30th July instant, all the poor's-iates which have been demanded them up to that day. County voters who are not already registered for the same property, or who have changed their places of abode since last July, must send to the overseers of the parish in which their property is situated, on or before the 20th of July instant, their claims to vote which must contain theit places of residence, the nature of the qualification, and its situation and they must send with each claim one shilling. FAins.-At Gloucester fair on Wednesday, there was a small supply of cattle and sheep the former averaged 6d to 6d per lb., the latter 6d to 6id, fat lambs were scarce, and sold well pigs were rather lower in price, and good horses were in request. -Bi-ecoti July Fair, on Wednesday, was but very scantily sup- plied, and the attendance much smaller than usual. Horses were numerous, but generally of an inferior kind. The wool fair participated in the depression now so prevalent throughout the kingdom, the top price being no more than 10s 6d, and the lowest 7s per stone of 14ibs., with but very few sales even at these ruinously low prices.

THE PRINCIPALITY. CARDIFF RACES.—These races took place on Wednesday and Ihursday, and weie extremely well attended considering the period, immediately preceding a general election, at which they occurred. The sport, on the whole, was good and the weather most favourable. There was an ordinary on the first day at the Cardiff Arms, and on the second, at the Angel, Sir Charles Morgan, Bart., in the chair, who presided with his usual ur. banity. They were well attended. The viands and wines, on each occasion, were such as to do much credit to the proprietors of these hotels. We regret that a press of matter, arising from electioneering proceedings, prevents from entering into the de. tails of the meeting. An occurrence of a curious nature took place not far from this town on Tuesday. A person who is in the habit of retail- ing tobacco and other articles, was called upon by two travel- lers in the wholesale trade, offering him tobacco at a very re- duced price. The sample was produced, and the quality being approved of, a bargain was struck for a quantity amounting to £ 5. In the dusk the parcel was delivered, and upon opening the one end of it the buyer was satisfied that it was equal to the sample, upon which the sum of X5 Is was immediately paid, in the full expectation of receiving compound interest for his mo- ney. Shortly after the merchants decamped, the buyer thought proper to search the parcel more minutely, when he found to his sorrow, that he had paid rather dear for his whistle," for, inatead of tobacco, he found that the parcel contained nothing but sawdust, with the exception of a thin layer of tobacco placed along the sides. Search was immediately made about the town, —the police officers running in every direction, searching all public-houses, and others eagerly watching near the lodging. houses; but all in vain, as the merchants had taken to their heels, leaving their dupe in possession of the sawdust but minus the money.—Carmarthen Journal. OTTER HUNT.— One of the most splendid otter-hunts that ever occurred took place on Mouday last near Brecon, in lie Usk river, near Aberyskir-fawr. The otter was found about six o'clock in the morning, and continued to give the fioesi sport imaginable, without a single check, for nearly six hours, when he was at last obliged to surrender 10 the prowess of one of the huntsmen who contrived to spear him in such a manner as to save his life. In the evening, he was turned into the ca- nal just below Brecon, where again he afforded admirable sport for nearly three hours, almost without a check. The oldest huntsmen say they never saw an otter so full of game.-Siliti.iiii.
