The fact, however, is, that his lordship did not apply for admission on Friday, as stated, and consequently could not be refused.

LF.EOS.— SUSPECTED MIKDF.I;.—On Saturday morn- ing. information reached this town that a man had been f found murdered on the higlmay between Armley and Bramley. Deceased proved to be an a.red man, named Winder, residing at the former place. He was found on the turnpike road, about 200 yards from Cockshot-lane Bar, with his head and body bruised by stones; and no doubt is entertained of his having been murdered, though the absence of any adequate motive envelops the affair in mystery. A person has been apnreheuded by whom the murder is supposed to have been committed; but nothing decisive is yet known.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT GREAT MALVEKN.— An event which cast a gloom over the inhabitants of the delighttul village of Malvtrn. took place on Wednesday evening week, by an act of self-destruction committed bv a young lady of the name of Salmon. Having returned oil the cvenin;: in question from taking a ride, the unfor- tunate lady had retired, as her friends supposed, for the purpose of changing her dress; hut in about five minutes her family were horrified at finding her with her head nearly severed from her body, a deed sue had effected with a razor. The cause which led to this sad catastro- phe is conjectured to have heen her contemplation of the reverses ot fortune which she and her tanrdy had experi- enced. An inquest has boen held on the and a verdict of "Tempory Insanity" returned. MURDER AND SU¡cIDF.At :\I ill town, in Dcrhyshire I oil Friday last, one John Towndrow, upon a quarrel about some property, murdered his wife by breaking her skull with a hamper, and then killed himself by cutting his I throat with a razoi"- Towndrow was a farmer, and formerly possessed considerable wealtli: but Y his circum- stances were much rcduct-d- He and In. s wite had been married forty years, and during time had been the parents of twel ve children; bnt lut tin ee ) ears past they had been estranged from each other. A h,,¡.t tIme before he killed himself, he mentioned to a frjenl th?t some property had been left to liiz, ivife, aii(I he said that che would not let him have a part which he wanted, but that he was bent upon having it. On a hdf behind a staircase, a liammfcr was found covered with bloo;l, but seeming to have been wiped. A razor and sheath were on the house-table, and a bloody razor lay at the dead wo- man's side. The breakfast things were set in order, and the tea was poured out. The chairs were lying upset in front of the tea-table, and the wtte s spectacles were on the hearth. It is thought that a quarrel arose at breakfast; when the husband, following his wife into the kitchen, stunned her with the hammer; that lie then replaced the hammer on the shelf, and brought his razors from the house cupboard, to make sure ot his wife's death and accomplish his own. RIOTS IN NOTTINGHAM.— Vottingjiam, June 17.—The state of feeling here is beyond anything that can possibly be imagined. The old days of violence and bloodshed are again come upon us, for the civil force has been to- tally uiiible to qnell the disturbances, and the assistance of the military has been obliged to be obtained. During Tuesday large parties of men kept meeting and fightinir in the most determined manner, and it was evident that at night the consequences would be very serious. The hrst intimation was the smashinp; of the Review office windows (the Radical paper) by the Tories, one of whom was apprehended in the act of throwing a large stick up at the windows. Several hotels and private houses were attacked, and the windows smashed to pieces. Thepolice force being dreadfully beaten wherever they appeared, the Magistrates deemed it their duty, although an un- pleasant one, at an election time, to cell out the military. The ")(I Dragoons from -the barracks arrived shortly, and put a stop to the tumult, or "something -else than the breaking of windows was to have been the fate of the Kevifw Oifice. Many moil were apprehended ::nd com- mitted to prison for throwing stones and being in riotous assemblages; and warrants have been taken out against many more. Several have boen stabbed in the affrays. :\[(1;"t of them received some -erious bruises, ami SDl1Ie may not survive. Many of the police are maimed tor life. The Magistrates sat ap cil in the police- office, ready in case of emergellcy. and the troops pa- trolled the streets. The Tories first commenced the riots by tearinc the first flag, and breaking the nrst pane in the Reciew office windows. All is quiet now. How soon the flame may light again there is no knowing. Many hundreds of pounds' worth of damage has been done to property. BRUTAL MURDER AT CRUMLYX, NEAR PONTYPOOL. —Ou Sunday last, a number of col!iers and quarrymen were drinking at the Navigation !nn,Crum!yn, four miles from Pontypool, in this county, ami at about twelve 0 clocsc at mgnt, Charles Powell and Thnmas Gar'? m-r, two quarrymen, left the inn to go to their home Havin ¡ proceeded a short distance from the house, they were met by thi ee coiners, who had also been drinking at tbc they Navigation, andwKhoutany notice they knocked 11 1 owed and Gaulener down, nnd commenced kicking thenyn a most Lrutal manner, the former about his head, and tim btter about his back.

PS0R03ATI0N OF PARLIAMENT. I THE ROYAL PROCESSION. Her Majesty, accompanied by Prince Albert and her suite, and^ escorlcd by two biigades of the Household troops, left Buckingham Palace in State at half-past one o'clock on Tuesday. The uar was remarkably fine, and the number of persons assembled to witness the proces- sion was much larger than it has been on anv similar occasion since her Majesty's first going to the House of Lords on her accession to the Throne. The whole line through the Park along the Mall on both sides was crowded, and from an early hour Parliament-street was almost in a state of blockade. The appearance of the area around thee Duke of Yark's column was exceedingly picturesque. The steps leauing from Waterloo-place into the Park were crowded bv well-dressed pers >ns, principally females^ forming a complete amphitheatre. The appearance of her Majesty in her State Carriage, emerging from beneath the marble gateway of the Palace was the signal for a loud omsl of cheering from the persons assembled. Her Majesty was cheered loudly and continuously along the whole line as she passed, and repeatedly bowed in acknowledgment. HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY. Parliament was this day prorogued by her Majesty in I person, preparatory to the Dissolution, with the usual tmJJnJit:rs. The ceremonial appeared to excj tc unusual interest. as all the seats reserved for the Peeresses and x-? io -t d obta- other ladies w ho had obtained cards of admission from the Lord Cnamhcrhiin, were ticketed previously to the openinc: of the doors at Twelve o'clock, and before One o'clock the ijody of the II mseand the three galleries were completely crowded, many of the ladies being unable to obtain more than standing room behind the benches. W e understand that in the course of yesterday and this morning upwards of eighty Peeresses signified to the Lord Chemberlain their intention of being present. The Dipf'inaticcircle was also unusually thronged, and the gay and brilliant hues of the ladies' dresses, with the blaze of diamonds, stars, decorations, and varied uniforms, formed an exceedingly animated and gorgeous spectacle. There was a very large number of Peers present, ni;itiy or w l l,). of whom, for want of other accommodation, were com- pelled to remain standing in groups around the table and near the Bar of the House. The arrangement and decorations of the Throne and the Chair of State appropriated to Prince Albert, on the left of her Majesty, were the same as on the occasion of the meeting of Parliament in January last. At a Quarter past Two o'('Iociz, tfie discharge of can. not), the flourish of trumpets, and the shouts of the popu- lace, announced the arrival of her Majesty, who shortly afterwards entered the House, preceded by the Heralds and Pursuivants, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Errol, the Earl of Shaftesbury with the Cap of Maintenance, Viscount Melbourne with the Sword of State, the Earl Marshal, and the other Great Officers of State. Her Majesty was accompanied by His Royal Highness Prince Albert, who conducted her to the Throne, and then took his «i>at on her left hand side. The Queen was attired in a splendid robe of white satin, richly embroidered, and trimmed with Rold lace, over which was the State mantle of crimson velvet. Sh, had also a tiara, necklace, stomacher, and earrings of brilliants, and looked in excellent health and spirits, Prince Albert wore a Field Marshal's uniform with the ribbon of the Garter and several stars and decorations on his breast. The Speaker and the Members of the House of Com- mons bavin: been summoned to the bar by the t of, I the Black Hod, the Right Hon. Gentleman shortly after- wardsappeared, attended, or rather pushed forward, by "a formid^able body of Members, who appeared to set all etiquette at defiance in their anxiety to obtain a look at her Majesty. The Speaker then addressed her Majesty in reference to the measures passed during the last S"<"ion. The p oyal Assent was then given, in the usual form, to the following Bills The Appropriation Bill, the Militia Pay Bill, the Bills of Exchange nili, the Punishment of Death Bill, the Bribery at Elections Bill, the Controverted Eicc'ior.s Trial BiU. the Hi eh way Rates Bill, the Loan Societies Bill, and Mad Houses ( Scotland) Bill, the Blackburn Market Bill, the Bourne Drainage Biil, and some other private Bills. The Lord Chancellor then presented the Speech to her Majesty on his knee, which the Queen read in her usual clear and distinct manner, with a very marked and decided emphasis on the passage which referred to the exigencies of the public service being provided for in the manner least burdensome to the community. The following is a copy of IIER p.2AJE5T^T'.3 SPESCH "MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, On a fuli consideration of the present state of pnhkc affairs I have come to the determination of prorotnr.ng this Parliament with a view to its The paramount, importance of the trade and Lulus?ry of the country, and my allxiety that the ex},je)ieb-s of the public scrvicc should be proiidcd for llZ the I:1 RTIiENSOME TO THE COM- MX'MTV, have induced me to resort to the moans which the Constitution has entrusted to ire, of -ascertaining the sense of my pcopb upon matters which .so deeply concern their welfare. "I entertain the hope that the progress of public business n-.n v he facilitated, and Coat divi- sions injurious to the course of steady policy and useful legislation may be removed by the autho- rity of a new Parliament, which I shall direct to I be summoned withont delay. "GENTLEMEN OF THE HoesE OF COMMONS, I thank you for the readiness with which, yoa have voted the sums neccessary for the Civil anc Military Establishments. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, "In the exercise of my prerogative lean have no other object than that of securing the rights, and promoting the interests of my subjects, and I rely on the co-operation of my Parliament, and the loyal zeal of my people, for support in the adoption of such measures as are necessary to maintain that high station among the nations of the world, which it has pleased Divine Providence to assign to this country." At thirty-five minutes after three licr Majesty left the House of Lords on her return to the Palace, and was again loudly cheered ;ilon- the whole line, as she passed. His Royal H ighness the Duke of Sussex was also greeted with enthusiastic cheering. Her Majesty looked exceed- ingly weil and seemed highly gratified at the manner in which she was greeted by her loyal subjects. The ground was kept by the Royal Horse Guards Blue, and the police arrangements for preserving order were, as usual, admirable.

CHANGES IN THE MINISTRY.—The following may be regarded as a correct list of the several changes which have taken place in the several departments of Govern- ment. Some have been already announced; but we repeat those and add others, in order that the whole may be seen at one view:-Sir George Grey is to have the seals of the Duchy of Lancashire committed to him, with a scat in the Cabinet, who is succeeded as Judge Advocate by Mr. Sheil, late Vice-President of the Board of Trade, -Ir. More O'Ferrall, Secretary of the Admiralty, has been appointed to the post of Financial Secretary of the Treasury, vice Nlr. It. Gorden, resigned. .Nlr. O'Ferrall, is succeeded at the Admiralty by Mr. Parker(M.P. for Sheffield), late one of the Lords of the Treasury.—The Hon. E. J. Stanley, the other Joint-Secretary of the Treasury, has been appointed Paymaster-General of the Forces in the place of Sir Henry Parnell, who, it is re- ported, retires from Parliament "as well as from office. Mr. Stanley's successor as Under-Secretary of the Trea- sury, is Mr. Le Marehant, of the Board of Trade, whose election, as Member for Harwich, may be regarded as sccure. The Hon. Fox Manle has been transferred from the Home Department, of which he was the indefatigable Under Secretary to the Vice-Presidency of the Board cf Trade. Mr. Maule i>" succeeded by Lord Seymour, who has been transferred from the Secretaryship of the Board of Control, in which post he is succeeded by Mr. 0. Butler, an appointment which will be regarded as a well merited recognition by the Government of Mr. Bailer's acknow- ledged talents and consistent support and advocacy of Liberal Principles.—Lord Plunket has at length resigned the Lord Chancellorship of Ireland. His Lordship's declining health h is long prepared the public for this an- nouncement. Sir J. Campbell, the Attorney-General, is to be his Lordship's successor, who will be elevated to the Peerage previous to his receiving the seals of office.— The vacancy in the number of Treasury Lords, will, it is reported, be filled up bv the appointment of the Hon. W. Cowper, now one of the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital. Mr. Banrierman, M P. for Aberdeen, is named as Mr. Cowper's successor at Greenwich, Mr. J. Lefcvre, one of the Poor-law Commissioners, is named as Mr. Le Merchant's successor at the Board of Trade.— The vacant post of Governor of Bombay is not yet fill e(I Lil). LAUNCH OF THE TIIAF.ILCAn.-TI)is noble vessel was launched on Monday at Woolwich. The dockyard pre- sented a very gay and animated appearance. Sitting ac- commodation had been provided for about 3,000 persons; and even' seat was occupied. On each side the enormous vessel, under the lofty shed in which she was built, booths had been erected. At one o'clock the doors of the dock- yard were thrown open to the public. About two, a royal salute, fired by the dockyard guns, announced the arrival of the Queen and the Royal Corftyc. Her Majesty's stand was m igniiicently fitted up Oil t!!e extreme left of the dockyard, close under the stardboard quarter of the Tra- vuig -.r. Upon her appcarance she was received with the most enthusiastic cheering, which was taken up by those on thcswater, and again re-echoed by the assemblage on the opposite shore. The officiating priestess was, the niece ol Lord Nelson. In the morning the authorities of the dockyard received from the Countess of Nelson the present (,t, a bottle of wine—a relic of the stock which Lord Nelson had on board The Victory" at the battle of r. This was the bottle of wine which, ncc<rr- cing to the rites, wis broken on the bows of thee magni- ficent shin when she received her name. Cray Jed upcn .1 1 "'I' •he poop were the veteran survivors of the battle of Tra- I falgar, commanded by Lieut. Rivers, a limb mtheacdoM.

The execution of this beautiful manc.'Uvre excited the admiration of ail present, and the I sight was picturesque in the extreme. The Trafalgar is one of the cleanest and most beautiful models ever launched, and when she is completely rigged, arid has ail her stores and funs oil board, she wiH Le, :r n ?t the very finest, certainly one of the very finest ships in the navy. Several of the pensione.'1; of the Hospital were there, and the hardy old tars seemed quite to grow young again at I the inspiriting sight. The navy, generally, both officers iiild men, seemed highly gratified by her Majesty's pre- seiice, which they appeared to consider as a happy omen tor the service. Her Majesty appeared to take great interest in everything relating to the ]?uncb, and fre.pierit- ly tumed to Prince Albert, apparently for the purpose or explaining to his Royal Highness what was taking place. Her Majesty was evidently highly gratified at the spontaneous bursts of loyalty with which slit- was every- where greeted, and seemed to take pains to come forward, so that all might see her. Her Majesty has never been so popular as she is at the present iiot-yient,-rticrf- Po- pular she never could have been. The ladie appeared, quite enraptured with her Mgjesty's urbanity and con- descension. Many tongues involuntarily exclaimed. HG 0<1 b'ess her," as she passed along, and one old wen- tiier-beaten naval officer at our elbow exclaimed, Aye, that's where a of England ought to be, looking at her \i ooden Wails." Many of the jolly tars who were .stati_oned in the Trafalgar when she was launched, (and among the hundreds of peisons who crowded her decks there were several ladies), flung up their hats in utter contempt of where they mic-ht fall, when thev saw her Majesty actually walking round the ertdlant ship; and when on one occasion Captain Hornby introlhlced a Jadv clad in deep mourning to the Queen, who was understood to be the widow of Captain Hewitt, oi the ill-fated Fairy, to whom her Majesty spoke in the kindest and most aht. a hie manner, the cheers and hurras of the crowd were literally deafening.

CARMARTHEN, FRIDAY, JUNE 25. THE CANDIDATES FOR SOUTII WALES. 1-4 vÁ1.1.1 J..j') Ju 1 .1.L..L 1. Our columns present several addresses from various candidates for the suffrages of the electors of South Wales at the ensuing election. Of thone who offer themselves as the friends of the people— the advocates of progressive reform in our Insti- tutions—and base their claims to support upon the encouragement they have given to Liberal measures, we have comparatively little to say. They are all tried men and true," and, with one exception, will be re-elected without opposition. The only contest in South Wales with a view to unseat a Liberal member is in the Cardigan boroughs, where a Mr. Harford, of Bristol, has had the temerity to oppose that faithful and honest Reformer—Mr. Pryse Prysc, who for a quarter of a century has been the honored and worthy re- presentative of a grateful and admiring consti- tuency, distinguished no less for their enlighten- mcnt than for their firm and resolute adherence to the sacred principles of Liberty and Justice. That Mr. Harford has the most remote chance of duping and enslaving the electors to whom he has issued his stupid and unmeaning address, we most unhesitatingly, and on the best authority, deny. No! the men of Cardiganshire are too proud of their present representative—who has served them so long and so w en—to exchange him for so great a baby in political science, and withal, so inveterate a bigot—so uncompromising a Tory and monopolist, as this said Mr. Harford. He can oal.. hope for a few interested votes in Lampeter and Canlignl, and even these he would not have if the electors could be protected in the ex- ercise of their franchise. Shame upon the sys- tem which gives to men of influence and pro- perty the power of imprinting "tmitor 1" on the sotili of the wreixmed victims over whom they can exercise their cruel and detestable tyran- ny Mr. Harford is induced to come forward for the Cardigan boroughs because, forsooth, he has considerable property in Lampeter, and some oilier parts of Cardiganshire, and things that he has "a right to do what he likes with his Gum!" He has, however, been badly advised, and not- withstanding the absence of the ballot, will be sent home to his banking-house in Bristol, with his purse a little lighter, and his ambition a little humbled. So much for Mr. Harford: but what has become of Lieut. Col Copland, of Sloane-Street, London! A gentleman with this formidable name and appcnd-ge offered himself to the electors a fortnight ago in the Torv interest. He had been o'nlh{l by some wag to publish an address to them in the Carmarthen Journal, which we would have whipped our printer's devil for composing, and which, en passant, we have some authority for attributing to a higher personage in our cotem- poravy's office; but Lnut, Copland has slunk hack, like n, frightened cur, wic1¡ his tail nerwo.cn his legs, into his former insigiufican* nnd mys- terious existence in Sloane-Street 0 icorpora, 0 mores alias, Terrible times for the Tones But ire must pass on to observe that, although j there can he; no doubt of the privic'ples of all the Liberal candidates, yet we are somev.-ha!. sur- prised at ihe fetal absence of allusion to the great questions which agitate the country, and winch have obliged Ministers to appeal to flee people, in •every adlt-ess which has emanated from them, with the single exception of that of Sir J- J. Cutest. Mr. Child has, moreover, declared himself an advocate for a fixed duty on corn, but lie is a new j candidate. The omission has doubtless been mad e, > either inadvertently, or with a ne1'- to perspicuity; but we call upon *he e'octovs to demand from the hustings a full, e-ear, and explicit avowal of the opinion? of the. c:-V(id:d,ite* for representing them in Parliament, on the great question of monopoly, or no monopoly. This is a crisis almost unex- ampled in our history tens of thousands of our artisans (upon whose manufacturing industry the greatnessofour counuy mainlydepend.s)arefamish- j i'1" for want, of'food; our trade is paralbcdbv prohi bitive and unjust laws and our commercial great- ness is rapidly passing away: moreover, our agricultural labourers are ill-pud, and conse- quently, ill-fed; and our yeomanry arc impo- verished by grasping and insatiable landlords, who pretend anxiety for both the interests of labourers and tenants by upholding a law in which they themselves alone arc interested, and of which it has been correctly said that it was "born in violence and baptized in blood"—a law which starves the labourer and affords no real protection to the farmer—a law, in short, whose sole object is to afford protection to the land- owners at the price of injustice to all the other classcs of the community. The Queen and her Ministry have taken the side of the People—have declared their determination to exterminate this hydra-headed monster, MONOPOLY; and electors of South Wales, it is in consequence of this noble resolve, that you have now been appealed to ;— let not the opportunity, therefore, be disregarded: 'make those who offer to represent your opinions where alone they can have weight and influence, speak out; make them declare their sentiments on the great questions which are now agitating the country so that you may know whether they accord with your own. Mr. Child's determination to go to the poll has thrown the Pembroke Tories into great conster- nation, and we are assured that there is evcry prospect of his ultimate success. The consti- tuency of these boroughs have borne the yoke of bondage long enough to feel its galling effects, and if they do not avail themselves of the oppor- tunity which they now have of asserting and establishing their independence, their degradation will be complete. To them we would apply Mr. O'Connelhs favourite couplet:— Hereditary bondsmen, know ye not Who would be tree themselves must strike the blow." We musi hasten to bestow a passing notice on the only Tory addresses which express an opinion on the great measures of commercial reform proposed by Her Majesty's Ministers—those of Col. Trevor and Viscount Emlyn. The former candidate, after alluding (in a most ungrammatical piece of compo- sitions what he is pleased to term "the reekless and unprincipled attack" which he says the Government are endeavouring to make on the agricultural inter- ests, goes on to say that he is also strongly opposed to their "project of allowing slave-grown sugar to compete upon more favourable terms with our own free-grown commodity. 0, the canting hypo- crisy of these heartless and unprincipled Tories! In 1833, the Hon. Geo. Rice Trevor voted against the emancipation from slavery of the hapless sons of Africa: in 1841, to serve the base and malevolent purposes of his party, he can become the apparent friend of the negro, and whine and cant about the introduction of slave-grown sugar at something less than a prohibitive duty, whilst he consumes numberless other articles of slave produce with- out one gentle admonition of his tender conscience! "0, shame, where is thy blush ?" What does the Hon. Geo. Rice Trevor say to the fact that we lose £ C>,t)90,000 per annum bv the protective duties vr h ieii force us to buy sugar and coiTec from our I colonies ? How would he propose making up the deficiency of nearly £ 2,000.000 in our revenue? Doubtless, by additional taxation, or by sup- porting the expedient Sir Robert led in the advocacy of the very measures now proposed by our enlightened Goverrw.ent! Then; is some senseless allusion in the address we are commenting on to the necessity of continuing the differential protective duty on rotten and worthless Canadian timber, which we will not waste an obser- vation upon. But what does the Hon. George Rice Trcvor think of the fact that within the last two years 4,000,000 of quarters of wheat have been imported at a duty of from Is. to 2s. per quarter ? How can his unbounded philanthropy—which all but oozes out in crocodile tears at the thought of lowering the duty on slave-grown sugar—be hushed into silence when he knows that tens of thousands of the slaves of his withering monopoly arc pining for want of food in the land of his birth, and his sliding scale denies them bread until corn has risen to a famine price? Perhaps he quiets his easy conscience by endeavouring to believe that the price of corn governs the rate of wages. Stupid sophistry! the experience of nearly thirty years proves the contrary to be the case. It has been shewn, by a nice and convincing calculation, that when corn has been at the highest, wages have been at the lowest. What docs he think of the undeniable fact that in America, where wheat is 30s. a quarter, labourers can earn 4s. a day, whilst in Ireland, where wheat is GOs, a quarter, they can get but No falsehood is more naked than the assertion that dear bread brings high wages. But, perhaps the hon. gentleman will fall back upon his tenants, and talk of the ruin of the farmer. Now, there can be no doubt that a total repeal of the corn laws would oblige the land- owner to be less rapacious, and let his farms at fair and reasonable rents; but the fixed duty pro- posed can never have this effect, desirable as it would be. The amount named by Ministers is no doubt taken as the minimum, leaving a committee of the House of Commons to fix the proper sum, which would probably be 11)". or 1 lis. Ten shil- ¡ lings per quarter wonld not injure the landlord or tenant: the average cost of the importation of foreign corn being 45s., would prevent its being" sold (with the duty of 10s.) at less than GOs. a quarter, or 7s. G(1. a bushel (Winchester). But it is needless fo multiply facts: the Hon. Mr. Trevor, and every thinking man, knows as well at we do, that the Ministerial plan lor reforming our com- mercial code is founded oa common sense, jnstíLe, and humanity; and that whichever party may govern the destinies of this mighty empire, the measures which have sent Mr. Trevor back to his constituents, and which arc now agitating the whole kingdom, must, ere long, become the law of the land. We have only space to make one or two comments on the address of the noble Viscount, the candidate for Pembrokeshire, who sucked in Toryism with his mother's milk," and has evcr since been fed on Conservative pap. The only subject he alludes to is the Corn Laws, but he acknowledges the mutual dependence of the agri- culturalist and manufacturer on cach other. We point him, then, to the alarming state of our ma- nufactures, the result of our unjust and impolitic commercial regulations as to the importation of corn and other commodities of foreign produce. In 18.18 the Custom-house returns showed the value of goods sent abroad to amount to C exported increased nearly 11 per cent., us toil him that, the value increased less than three per cent. In otner words (t Las been correctly observed) the manufacturers were uuncUcd to submit to a reduction of seven per cent., or above four millions of money, in the value of t hese goods in two }cars but a vast quantify of their goods still remain unsold in foreign markets. Let it be borne in mind that this increased quantity of ex- ported goods has arisen from inability to sell them at home, not from an increased supply—it has arisen from more poverfv, not from more pro- I t ductioii. What say you to this, my lord? We should like to have your opinion. These facts are indeed stubborn things, and we are doubtless right in supposing that yon would "rather be excused," than called upon to express your sentiments on so grave a subject, with which you are evidently unacquainted. V> e have only to add. in order to complete our sketch of the candidates for South Wales, and their pretensions, that Lord Harloy, Lord Oxford' son, has come forward for Radnorshire in the Liberal interest, and that there is little doubt of his re- lieving Sir John Walsh from the future repre- sentation of that county.

THE RESPECTIVE MERITS OF WHIG- GISM AND TORYISM. The country begins to speak out in a way which, as we confidently expected, does it high honour. The reception which the thiek-and-thhi adherents of the monopoly system—all of whom are back-bone Tories—every where meet, is such as cannot fail to convince them that, however easy a matter it may have 'been in days past to impose on the constituencies, and under the thin disguise of specious names, "to steal a march 'twixt them and sober sense," these days arc for ever gone. The terms Whig and Tory do not serve now as sufficient passports to public favour far- ther than this, that every well-informed person recollects that, with all the faults, failings, and shortcomings of Whiggism, still there are hallowed and delightful associations connected with and growing out of its history. Does he think of a magnanimous struggle in behalf of civil and re- ligious liberty?—the rccollection mingles with the history of Whiggism. Are his reminiscences thrown back to the times when the last of the tyrannical and infatuated Stuarts made their final effort to outrage the sanctity of conscience, and render perpetual the subjugation of the mental powers ?—they are at the same time blended with the patriotic achievements, the indomitable forti- tude, and the noble self-denial of Pvm, Sidney, Russell, and Hampden. Is he led to review the history of the years that have rolled over this land since the Protestantism of Whiggism, in the last days of Queen Anne, secured the Empire from oeing again handed over as a prey to the here- ditary foes of that salutary and ennobling en- lightenment of which Protestantism laid the foun- dation among us ?-the review, if a candid one, cannot fail to show him, that all that was bad and tyrannical in the House of Brunswick ever met its surest and mo-1 effectual check from Whiggism. Tn the days of the Second George the exiled House of Stuart, supported by all the Toryism of Rome, France, and Spain, made its last attempt to curse this fair and lovely land with priestcraft, civil ty- ranny, and mental oppression. And who among us rallied round the standard ofRomish d(spotism on that occasion ? History informs us that they were Tones. And who then magnanimously un- sheathed the broad sword, in order to secure to themselves and their posterity liberty of con- science, permission to read the oracles of truth in their own tongue, and to worship their Creator according to the faith which they held? They were Whigs, who in danger's darkest hour Stood for their country's honour fast, And nailed her colours to the mast." Can a Liberal elector, at the present moment, who knows anything of the history of men and events in this country during the last 200 years, forget what the best interests of society owe to Whig- gism ? It is impossible: but at the same time let him know that all arc not true Whigs who rank under the name, as the debates and votes on the Sugar and Corn Law questions too painfully show. Let htm, therefore, without respect to names, vote lor such men, and for such only, as have made full proof' that they honestly hold and maintain the genuine principles which, in the times that are past, throw such a bright radiance round the men to whose honest hearts and dauntless courage we owe our present liberties, and that true national greatness which can neither be won nor main- tained by those who arc not, in the fullest sense of the term, mentally as well as corporeally free. Right nobly are hundreds and thousands of the intelligent electors at this moment performing their duty to themselves and their country and right amusing and interesting is it to listen to the searching questions which they put to the Torio- Peelites who wish to pass their base and spurious coin as pure and unalloyed metal. When told that till such time as they have given clear and explicit, ay, and satisfactory, answers to such questions as, "Do you know what Sir R. Peel's plans and views really arc, and what the line of policy is which he will adopt when possessed of the highest place in the Cabinet ? In what light do you really view those class-interests which constitute the monopolies that the nation has de- nounced and doomed? What will the Tories do for the country, in the way of promoting the best interests of manufactures and commerce, which the Whigs have not either effected or attempted to effect?" these pseudo-patriots are sorely puzzled; and these and such-like interrogatories we call upon every enlightened voter in the kingdom to put, and persevere in putting, to every aspirant to legislatorial honours who names the name of Peel.

TORY TAXES AND WHIG RETRENCH- MENTS. In the AlIIlllal Register for 1S30 we have tlie following picture of the state of tlnnc™ whit a vailed over more than one-third of England when the Tories went out of office, and handed over the g-?-ernmeut of the Empire to the Whigs, after bavins been in power for well nigh 50 I h<cvmg- br:cn 111 pp\vcr 101' \ve, nl;l,l,' J :,lb "Night after n?Lf: new conflagrations were lighted up by bands of jnccmliaics: com-sii?k.s, barns, farm-buildings, and live stock were indis- bitrrs, f?irn-i-,),Iiid lit ?r.?, tii( I 1;e slocl? ivrrc? i;,(,iis- nnd demolished machinery. Ail pi'D?ectiou for property seemed to he at an end. Bands of rioters pillaged and destroyed during the day, and so soon as night fell in, simultaneous confla- grations starting up in different quarters, spread over the country consternation and dismay. The military force in the disturbed districts was daily increased; and proclamations were issued, offering rewards of £ 500 for the apprehension and con- viction of any person engaged in wilful fire- raisings and a special commission was ordered to proceed into the counties where the outrages were committed." The enthusiastic reception given to Lord John Russell in the City of London must revive many mortifying recollections in the minds of the Tories. Rather more than ten years h ive rolled away since the Tory administration of the Duke of Wellington and Sir R. Peel was in Cue last stage of a rapid consumption. But no public meetings were heard of, convened for the purpose of passing resolutions in its favour-^no requisitions from the first cities and towns of the kingdom called upon any T)f -Its members to become candidates for their suffrages, instead (f going into the City to attend a crowded meeting of the electors, among whom were the chief bankers and commercial men in London Sir R. Pod's last act, if we remember rightly,was to advise the king to decline an invitation to dine Y;;1,t1r.'1'n-0:l(,);1, beeuuse the unpopu?rif.y of his Ministers was so p-t-e?, there was ?ro-g rea- son for ?p)rchcn'l'ng tbt serious riots would be I Soli for -11) 01 thetr showing themselves in the royal Liiciiiqelvcs in the But the Tory organs tell us that their patrons made wonferful exertions to reduce the national burdens, from the accession of Canning to office till the Duke of Wellington resigned the seals in 1830. But these same sapient and veracious authorities omit to inform us, that it was a Tory administration that had expended fifteen hundred 7nillions in maintaining foreign wars, and in shed- ding the best and bravest blood of Britons: and they further omit to inform us that when the Whigs came into office they had not the revenue of 1821 to commence reductions upon; but the amount which the Tories had again and asain roundly asserted could not be further reduced with safety to the country; and which amount the Whigs, nevertheless, found means to reduce to the tune of three millions annually. Soon after the latter came into power they effected savings in office salaries to the amount of about jC-140,000 a-year; and they made retrenchments in the Cus- toms and Excise, and in the various public depart- ments of the kingdom, which in 18;0 amounted to ^3,185,334, to the extent of £ 379,056: and be it remembered, had the Whigs been as heedful of avoiding every measure that had a tendency to lessen the extent of their patronage as the Tories have ever shown themselves, the reduction of salaries and of the number of those who drew them would have been one their last shifts to attain a reduction of public burdens. The total amount of taxes taken off L: the Li- berals since 1830 is £ 7,157,000; in addition to which we must not forget to state that the remis- sion of taxation occasioned by the new Post-office arrangements exceeds £ 1,100,000, and those com- petent to speak on the subject say, that if the number of letters now sent through the Post- office were charged at the old rates, the public would have to pay £ 6,000,000 for what now costs them £ 1,290,000, giving a balance in favour of the pub- lic of £ 4,700,000. Do any of our readers ever remark the terms in which the Tories speak of the -new Post-office regulations? We have a thousand times, and with unutterable disgust. Right well does the light-hating faction know what a mighty lever for the increased diffusion of knowledge the Post-office now supplies. Thus Toryism—genuine, unalloyed Toryism—is ever the same. Sooner shail the Ethiopian change his skin, and the leopard his spots, than shall Toryism cease to be inimical to all that is free, and generous, and pa- triotic, and enlightened—to all that has a direct tendency to elcyate and ennoble the minds of the lowly, to scatter wide the principles of right moral science, and to emancipate the liu f or, the mental thraldom which all that is bad in priest- craft, kingcraft, and lawcraft has been successful hitherto in mailing their inheritance. In 1784, when the Tories came into power, the capital of the national debt monnted to £ -60,000,000, and the annual charge for interest to £ <>,J00,000: in 1S30, when they quitted office, the capital of the national debt amounted to £ 760,000,000, and the annual charge of interest for the same to £ 27,600,090. It really requires no ordinary share of Tory brass to enable their organs, at the present moment, to boast of the efforts which their masters made, during the last seven years of their iron rule, to reduce the na- tional burdens.

I LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S RECEPTION IN THE CITY OF LONDON. Every genuine patriot in the Empire will hail with pride and pleasure the great and important meeting at the London Tavern on the 14th inst. Who that witnessed the proceedings at that great meeting, can for a moment hesitate to believe that the reign of class-interests is over—that monopoly has received its death-blow ? The enthusiastic welcome with which Lord John was received as he stepped out of his carriage, and the prolonged cheers which thousands who could not obtain an entrance into the spacious room, again and again renewed, were distinctly heard at the India House, and along the whole of Cornhill and the Poultry. As his Lordship entered the room, the shouts with which he was received were absolutely deafening, and a considerable time elapsed ere it was possible to commence the business of the day; and to tbp. few Tories who were present, these hearty plaudits could not fail to sound as the death-note of To- ryism, with all its anti-national characteristics. Indeed, the hearts of the monopolists must have sllnl;, them at the unequivocal manifestation of opinion which this glorious meeting elicited. But will the triumph of Tuesday, the 14th of June, be confined to London? No. The blow which on that proud day was struck in the Metropolis, will be felt in the remotest parts of the empire. It would, in fact, be difficult to attach too much im- portance to the proceedings at this meeting. London has taken her proper place in the present eventful crisis, and has spoken out, as well became the greatest commercial mart in the world, in a manner not to be mistaken. The array of wealth, intelligence, commercial enterprise, and genuine enlightenment, which surrounded Lord John on the platform, and crowded the floor of an apart- ment capable of accommodating more than 3,000 persons, was such as the most imposing display of Toryism never, even in its most palmy days, was able to congregate around it. It is asserted that there were 36 gentlemen on the platform, the aggregate amount of whose property exceeds zCI6,000,000 sterlin, whom, of course, Dr. Slop of the Standard, the Thunderer of Puddledock, and old Dame Twaddle of the Herald, would class among the penniless and shirtless Whig-Radicala who, having nothing to lose by a national con- vulsion, and moreover, being restrained by no rcEQ"iw3 or conscientious principles, are, at any time, and in all places, fit for murders, strata- gems, and spoils." The speech of Mr. Loyd, the Chairman, the eminent banker of Lothbury, was of no ordinary power; in compass embracing the whole range of our mercantile, commercial, and manufacturing policy and in masterly argu- mentation, sound and enlightened reasoning, and patriotic feeling, equal to any popular address that any similar occasion ever called forth. It has produced a powerful effect in the City, and it is affirmed will decide hundreds of votes. Lord John's speech was every way worthy of the oc- casion, and of the high reputation of him who delivered it. Argumentative, calm, lucid, totn- prehensivc, convincing, it well sustained hh Lord- ship's high character for honesty, straightforward- ness, and a thoroughly anti-Pecl-like v;ay of stating- and defending his views. Never was aprj0]ic oration listened to with more profound attention, or carried with it more completely the lie,cty approval of all present; and never did auy similar display better deserve the cordial reeer/aon which it met. The noble orator concluded, jjy stating, that the advisers of the crown had c-jxin.sei]e(j the Sovcreign to dis- solve Parliiili,n, in order to appeal to the people; and by tw decision of the people," said his Lord- ship t'wc shail be contented to abide. I have gc^at confidence in the good sense of the people, and in the soundness of the principles which I have unfolded to you; and I believe these principles I will triumph by vour verdict. Men of England, Scotland, and Ireland! shall it be said that the example which London has so nobly set, has been lost upon you? We are sure such a foul reproach will never stain your me- mory. Already have Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol, Gloucester, and several other important places acquitted themselves as became members of the first of nations; and before we shall again have an opportunity of addressing the public, hundreds of our commercial constituencies will have done likewise. Be firm and united "A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether," and the day is for erer yonrs,
