And though , fei z «* titjr , as I shall shew presently , you had no relish to the work , yet finding yourself compelled , by the pcessus boa without , to undertake it , yon had the aabt iety to appear to d * so with resolution and good
In thia matter yon had the new constituency , as well M the onuos , pressing you on ; and it was not cob-¦ venient , joat then , to kick drwn the ladder by whieh yeu had climbed into your seat . How , then , did you act in this untoward emergency ? You issued , in the first place , a Royal Commission , to Inquire into the state of the Municipal Corpontiana in Eogb&d Waiea . By this proceeding two paints were gained . First , the people , who were ignorant of the nice distinctions whieh unprinci pled factions had introduced isto aD state proceedings , for the purpose of covering their nefarious designs , bailed
tfce liberality of the Government , and lauded , too , your lometfy in determining to feeing to light those deeds of Aaxknass whieh h * d been so loop ; and to sacoeastally pxactised at the pofcHc expense . And , secondly , you preserved yoor ctumter of a true Whig ; by obtaining this meed of public approbation , under false pretences , « nd without giring for it any T&lnable consideration ; inasmuch , as by this Royal Commission you gave to ¦ the accused Corporations the opportunity of disclosing , -or of concealing , jost so much of their affairs as might
= * nit their own coQTenienoe ! This statement may jprobably surprise some who may read these lefctera ,-and who were forward in expressing their approbation of rjour Lordship ' s "liberal" proceeding in boldly facing and bearding your Tory enemies : it will occasion n * butprise to year Lordship . Yon know , what I apprehend , * be people generally do not eren yet know , the dif-JereneB between a Royal and a Pariiame $ dary Com-SDissioB , and , consequently , the tridc by whidi yon Seated them oat of their w > nflrtpnft »
A honest man desirous of information would hare taken tLe most effectual means to get it ; and would ( bus hare merited the approbation -which your Lordship recwTed . This your Lordship did not do . You had the option of sending forth' either a Boyal , or a Paraamentary Commission . You knew the flifftrenoe of their powers and capabilities . You knew tint a Parliamentary Commission would possess the talismanic " Open sesame , " and that a Boyal Commission would not . You knew that a Parliamentary Commission would hare power to compel evidence on oath and to enforce the production
of all necessary papers and documents from all P > rtiea able to afford them , and you knew that a Royal CommlsaioB had no such powers . You found yourself © QBipelled to enquire into abuses whieh- you had no wish to remedy , farther than might suit your own factional convenience ; you wished , therefor * , to provide a screen , behind which the Tory gang , in whose steps you had resolTedlo tread , as nearly as possible , might hide themselves if they thought proper . You calcuHtcd « o the anacqssintaiace of the people with the thimbleriggiBg tricks of action , and , therefore , taking ad-Tantage of the mania yon had purposely exated , about
the " Patriot" and " Reforming" TTjng , 70 U palmed upon the unsuspecting people a Royal , instead o ' f a Parliamentary , Commission of Enquiry . This was done likea true Whig , my Lord , but not like a hanest man . It happened , however , thai yon and your future Allies , had not , at that early period of reform manoeuvring , learned perfectly to understand each other ' s signals . And , consequently , most of the corporations ubmitted to a kind of inrestigation , which , imperfect as it was , was yet sufficient to OTenrhelm with infamy the self-elected scoundrels and to open a door of en--tExnee far the still more atrocious WMg scamps to ¦
enter m , aad for a time , to take their places . I doubt not , my Lord , that the revelations were much more extensive and appalling than you wished for ; that you cursed , in your interior mind , the stupidity of the old race of " honest thieves" for not being -so well " up to trick" as yourself . The mischief , -however , was done ; the information was out ; and the -ery of public indignation bad gone forth . Toar Royal Commission , though resisted by the Corporation of Leicester , sad the Guild » f the Holy Trinity at Hull , and some other corporate bodies , elicited facts which
¦ called for an entire demolition of the -whole system . In Tain did the Tories storm and rave about the -destruction of the Constitution . In vain did the Lords and Bishops cast the -mantle of their patriotism and holiness overtlieir twin brothers in corruption . In-Tain ¦ did the state priests declare that the demolition of the ¦ corporate strong-holds would be the death of Christianity . All this noise sad clamour was drowned bj the Toiea of an indignant nation . The hand-writing of doom appeared upon the wall , which was to annihilate ¦ their power for ever .
Your Lordship felt that there -was no retreating . An irresistible impulse bore you on before it , and , like a skilful navigator , your Lordship , finding your Ministerial ship unable to resist the current , put about the helm ; and while you floated with the tide looked out on all hands for the means whereby your course might be diverted . Your grappling irons were thrown out acd the nho * 1 n -which yon had purposely reserved in the -ascendant Toryism of the Lords , afforded safe fastening tor them . The ship -was brought rouad , in just sufficient time to enable your Lordihip to convert Municipal Corporations into the means of
consolidating and sustaining class-power , whether Whig or Tory , to the exclusion of the people , much more effectually and for a much greater length of time than could have been done under the old system . Tou , of course , reserved to your own party the beneSt arising from the first reversion of this new source-of power , and thi 3 could be scarce objected to , by even the contending faction , when they saw how kindly you bad left to them the means of so pruning , modetating , fashioning , and controlling the whole thing as to make it equally conserve to their kindly use all the
good things of municipal controul , whenever thsir day might again come , or alike S 2 rnceable to that friendly •" union of trades , " nowjevidently sought to be established ty your Lordship , and as clearly then looked to in the distance , as the last resource for keeping down the common enemy , tie people , whose power you irere then using"Whose applause you wera then drinking—whose confidence you -were then enjoying , and whose interests you -were basely subverting under the pretence of serving them . It was a daep trick , my Lo rd , and with the help of your Tory allies , well played .
With all the hypoerisy of your order and faction , you set abont to gull the people , by the introduction of a Municipal Reform BiU , sufficiently liberal and searching in its provisions to catch popular applause , and to prevent , at the same time , its passing through the " apper House . " You knew that it coald not be carried , and you had no desire that it should be carried ; because , I have before shown , that if you had -wished to cany any really liberal and popular measure , you would taTe first reformed the Lords . Your liberal Municipal Corporation Reform Bill passed through the Commons , tut was , as you expected and intended it should be , ^^ rected and amended by the Lords . A faint but
infcneere show of determination was made by your Lord-• ki Pi which was as ineffectual as you desired it should be ; and the insulting amendments was sent down to the Commons . Insulting I call them ; because , the rery idea of " amendiag" a bill which was to affeet the in-^ erests of the whole community , and which was * &eged to hare received the sanction of that community trough its representatives in their own House , was , in fleet , to say that the Lords knew better -what the people wanted than they themselves did . Your leader in * ks House of Commons , little Lord Joob , had the Edacity to reeommend and to move that ti # " amendln t 8 *' of tb . 6 Lwds be agresd ta . And &e brick and 510 rtarmen whom your Lordship hadl psxaoaded the

Your only porpoae was to get at the plunder , to satisfy the eoRBoraxtts -which form your body-guard . You knew that . the great complaint against the old corporations was their exelusiTeness . You knew that all their extravagance and msl-administratio * of public AIM , was declared to be the result of this exelusiTeaess , 'which shut out the people from the management of tbeir own matters .

The dogs were already in the sheep-fold , sad you have turned m the wolTM to help them .
The people are still as carefully excluded as ever . For them there is no eatramce into the Hudeipal Paradise .

Base , however , and treacherous , unprincipled , and unmanly , as was your conduct toward England , it was purity and excellence itself , when compared with your oonduct towards Ireland .

— - ^"""THE WEST RIDING MAGISTRATES AND THE RURAL POLICE . Wb can do no more than just point attention to the sayings and doings of the " Great Unpaid" of the Riding , as reported elaewbere . Our readers will peroeive that they have contrived to introduce the wedge . Some of the more hardy were for going M the whole hog , " and laying the whole Riding at once under the reign of terror , as established by this
civil-martial domination . But Lord Wharncliffe and a majority of others were too wary to venture on the experiment . The number , and tone , and character of the petitions against the system staggered them ; and , with true factious tactics , instead of abiding boldly by principle , thongh it were ever the principle of despotism , they have recourse to the trickery which is always characteristic of a cowardly oppressor . They negatived the motion for making the whole Riding subject to this villanoua imposition ; but declared that a necessity for its
introduction exists in certain parts of the Riding ; taking care , however , not to specify those partB , but leaving that to be done by a committee . By this trick it is proposed to overcome the resistance of the public , by breaking in upon them , not en masse , but in sections ; so that the concentrated power of the tyrants may have to grapple only with a email portion of popular excitement at a time . If the people with this trick thus openly exposed before them , suffer it to succeedwhy then all we can say is , that they deserve all that their apathy may bring upon them . The Magistrates have taken the responsibility" of outraging the
public mind and will : let them be made at least to feel that it is a responsibility . The people are quite able even now , wilhout any breach either of the peace or the law , to do this most effectually . Let this be done and done at once , wherever the dirty blue rascals show their ugly faces ; but let it be done carefully and prudently ; let there be no breach of the peace—no violation of the law . And let this , like every other instance of tho reckless determination of class dominants , inspire the people with yet newer and stronger energies in support of their charter of rights , which shall give them an interest in the establishment and maintenance of a becoming " force " for the protection of their " property .

WAYS AND MEANS . T&ere is no way of keeping alive the tuergies of the people equal to the constant employment of talented , honest , and judicious local lecturers . The WeBt Riding Chartists , we are glad to perceive , have re-engaged their lecturer . We are glad of this , for we believe that much good has resulted from his labours . How is it that our Lancashire friends have no local lecturers 1 They have plenty of talent among
them ; and are surely lacking neither means nor zeal . They have Leech and others whose known coolness , prudence , and honesty of purpose , point them evidently out as fit to execute the work of good in an efficient manner . It wants but the setting about , and it is done , and much good done by it ; and we should certainly advise that it be done as speedily as possible . Tho cause needs all the help that all its sons can give it . The people are just now in a glorious position , and should make the most of it .
Special Sessions At Wakefield
SPECIAL SESSIONS AT WAKEFIELD
INTRODUCTION OF THE RURAL POLICE INTO THE WEST-RIDING , On Tuesday , a special adjourned Sessions of tho Peace for the West Riding of this county was held at the Court House , in Wakefield , for tho purpose of taking into consideration the establishment of a police force under statute 2 and 3 Victoria , cap . 93 , in the whole or any part of the West Riding , and for the transaction of other special business . Lord Whauncliffe took the chair at twelve o ' clock , and at that hour there was the largest attendance of magistrates we ever saw assembled on the Bench of a Court , besides a large number of inhabitants , the proceedings being open to the public . Nearly one hundred gentlemen , holding the Queen ' s Commission , were present .
Petitions against the introduction of the measure , which were numerously and respectably signed by men of all parties , were then presented from Sheffield , Rotherham , Bradford , Huddersfield , Morley , Dewsbury , Clayton , Wakefield , and a great number of townships . That from Wakefield was read at length by Mr . Lumb , solicitor , who was deputed to present it . The Noble Chairman then introduced the business of the day . He iaid the petition , which had been presented were numerous and they were numerously signed . However , the law had placed in the hands of the magistrates the decision whether the Rural Police shouldibe established within theRiding or not . They would remember a notice had been given of an
intention to move at FontefraGt Sessions that this force should be established throughout the Riding . The subject then caste on for discussion . On that occasion he and other saagiatrates thought it premature to decide , as they bad not had suflScient information , and above all Ibe rate-payers of the Riding on whom the expense was thrown , had not had an opportunity of considering the subject and stating to the magistrates what tkeirifeelings were . But the law had placed the decision in their hands ; the magistrates were the conservators- of the peace for the county , they were mainly responsible for it 3 preservation , and the Government expected them to establish such means as they fooed Becessary for its maintenance . Having heard what the rate-payers said , and nearly the wnole of then were afraid of
the expense , it remained for them t » consider whether the advantages to be derived' from a Rural Police would be such as to counterbalance their objections . His Lordship then referred to the Amended Constabulary Act , in which' waa a clause proposed by himself , which authorise * the division of counties iato districts containing not less than 2 « , « 00 inhabitants and throwing the expenseentirely on these districts where it was found necessary ^ nd into which it was introduced . He was qm ' te prepared to say that it was not necessary the- whole Riding- shwiW be put under this force , but tfoe » came the questie * whether by the present means tfe » lives ana property of persons resident in every pa « » f the Riding \ wre sufficiently protected . If they tound this was sot the case , then , without any refewmce to expense it would be their duty to take charge # f the

expense a * Mt * 1 ^^;*?! PwWblf one manin eVery 2 . 000 or 3 , 000 inhabitants would effectually answer the purposes of protection to life and property , and security to the pablio poaee . \ 'V Mr . SiaMFIeld , M , P * drew ihe attentionof-iW magistrates to the 27 th dame in the amended Act , which stated that oonstablea might be apportioned according to the wants of the districts , lh « inhabitants of such districts paying relative proportion of the expense , whilst the superintendence of the establishment would be borne by the who !* . This he considered would oollectthe scattered elements , make the constabulary force effioient where it is now inefficient , and place the whole under one responsible head . ' So for from being unconstitutional , he thought it would be highly constitutional , because ft
would , be responsible . At present there was no responsibility and no efficiency , because a constable was only appointed for a limited district , and without special aatbority he could not apprehend persons out of the district in whiehhe resides . ¦ -.-. ^ - Lord Whumiclifpe Mmarkeld , sthai if U » 6 Afet was put in force throughout the whole Riding , from that moment the rate-payers of every district woild have to pay a portion of the expense . He thought if the agricultural part of the county did not require additional police , it would be an injustice to tax them with a portion of the cost . > ¦ '¦• > . H . Pahrkh , Esq ., entirely concurred in Lord WiuufnolinVu sentimaata- that the measure should not •©• xtondedthroujrhout the West-Riding gene- rally . He was aware that the parochal constables ¦ were not as effioient as desirable , o * as itytsa necessary they shonld be , for this reason , that they # ere only paid when actually emiuoved . Heshoald have
approved of its introduction into Sheffield , if they did not already possess m that town an effective police . This had been shown during the list winter , when they came in contact with pe ' rfOnB armed wUhspeara and pistols and never retreated , lho Sheffield police were aldo under an able superiutendeat , who enjoyed the confidence of the magistrates ; and bethought it would not be desirable to make any alteration relative to that town . Lord Whabncufpe agreed in , the remarks respectingthfc efficiency of the police of Sheffield , but he did not think it would be wise to have separate police foroes in this manufacturing county . It would be better if the force in the different towns were increased , and officers appointed , the whole Being under the controul of a general superintendent . He believed this would not increase the expense ; on the contrary , he doubted whether it would not be diminished .
Mr . Childers , M . P ., inquired whether the gentleman opposite ( Mr . Thompson ) , who moved a resolution on a previous occasion , bad changed his opinion on the subject . He asked the question principally because he was one of twenty or thirty g entlemen who signed a notice requesting this subject to be brought forward at Pontefraotisessions . Mr . Thompson replied that he bad not changed his opinion as to the desirability of the force , but he rather staggered when he found the voice of the people so unanimously against its introduction . ( Hear , hear . )
Mr . Childers was of opinion from the firat that the Whole of the West-Riding , the agricultural , as well as the manufacturing districts , should be placed uuder one uniform system . From the returns before him , he found that ia those counties where a constabulary force had been appointed , the general expense had been but slightly increased ; and supposing the additional expense were £ 3 , 000 or £ 5 , 090 , thU sum distributed over the whole of the Riding would not fall with any great weight on the ratepayers , and they would secure great advaBtagej from the measure in the additional protection which
would be afforded to their property . In March last , nineteen counties had adopted the provisions ot this Act , and only four had rejected them , for the whole county , and in conversation with those magistrates of counties in which the Act bad beetftned , they expressed their strong approbation of it . It had been found successful alike in agricultural and manufacturing counties—alike in Nottinghamshire , Durham , and Lancashire . In the West-Riding there were three wapontakes which were agricultural , and these contained only 80 , 000 , out of a population of 800 , 000 . It would bo clearly impolitic to exempt these small districts from the operation of one general
measure . The Rev . Mr . Cookb ; observed that , from all the inquiries he had made , he was strengthened in the opinion that the act ought to be fully adopted throughout the whole of the Hiding . If they looked to the report of the Constabulary Force Co ' insussioners , they would find every line went to prove the impolicy of appointing policemen in isolated places , and hewould particularly refer to the superintendent of the police a- Hull , who stated that sinoo thieves had been driven out of towns , they located in the country , and that crime could not be diminished without an extended system of town and country police . ( Hear , hear . ) He concluded by proposing — "Th » t the Acts of 2 nd Victoria , c . 93 , and 8 ra Victoria , c . 80 , be applied to the whole of this Riding , having reference to the application in agricultural districts of the clauses 16 , 27 , and 28 in ihe latter Act . " Mr . Childers seconded the motion .
A Magistrate , whose name we did not learn proposed that the question should be adjourned to that day twelve months , in order that they might ascertain how the jncasuro worked in the county of Lancaster . The Rev . J . T . HoiyroN observed that although he belonged to the magistracy of Lancashire , yet he considered the magistrates of the West Riding were quite competent to come to a decision on the subject , without waiting to Bee what might be its effect in another county . ( Hear , hear . ) At the same time he would state , as a fearless and he hoped a consistent advocate for the introduction of thia force , that in his opinion the measure was working admirably well in Lancashire , and especially considering the inefficient manner in whioh it had been allowed to be carried into effect— -in some places oiilv one or two meu being sent , who instead of being ' able to suppress any commotion or disturbance , were likely to have their own heads broken in the performance of their duty .
At the suggestion of the Hon . J . S , WORTLEY the amendment was withdrawn . Mr . Rajvd would vote for the introduction of the proposed police force , because when he considered the events which had lately taken place in the manufacturing and commercial districts of the West Riding he felt persuaded the loyal inhabitants of those districts are not sufficiently protected in their lives and property by the existing system . He should deeply regret if the rate-payers were thereby put to greater expena " , but he trusted that if it caused the greater prevention of crime or ita more speedy detection , they would never lament its introduction . Those resident in some of the
manufacturing towns might be sufficiently protected , but in many of tne manufacturing villages and remote hamlets the police were not adequate to the protection of tho inhabitants . Something more , however , was wanted to remedy the evils which they now experienced . They had been told of tha growth of knowledge amongst the humbler class of the popple ; be wished to see that knowledge deeply imbued with religious principle , and then by rational education th . 3 eountry would not require the increase of any police fovea . At present , however , he must take E » cieiy as he found tt ^ and under existing circumstances he had no alternative but to support the proposed new system . '
The Hon . Edwin Lascelles moved tbrt the pallee force be not introduced into the whole of the West Biding . This motion , which was merely a negative on tie original resolution , was seconded by sir W B Cooke . On the motion being put fo * introducing the Acts Into the wftolo of the Riding , thlrty-fonr hands were beid up in Jte favour ; for the ameuument there would we iU thin * ' ^ t fifty ; when the Chairman declared the amendment carried . The announcement was received with loud applause , which was immediately suppressed by the officers of the court . Lord Wha&nclWfb then moved , "That it is the opinion of this Court that the Acts be applied to certain di 3 tncts of thia Riding , "
Sir W . COOKE observed that it appeared to him the Bench would place themselves in a diffienlty if they adopted Lord Whanwiiffe - B motion , inasmuch as £ ey would have to apply the acts to such places as Huddersaeld , Bradford , Halifax , and the large manufacturing villages , which were like towns in other parts of England , and these were the very pfeees whieh bad petitioned against tfa » introduction of the proposed police . Why were these places selected ? They were informed that in them there were occasionally riots , and a class of political ofifcnces similar
to those which they had heard ot in &rath Wales , aad elsewhere . But he would remind the magistrates that they were conservators of the property as well as the peace of the country ; and- property was most unguarded in the agricultural districts , and-in which be believed depredations were more numerous , in proportion , to the population ^ than inlargamanufacturiog town * . He did not seecwhy the measure should b « thrust < i » wix the throats oi'the inhabitants-of those districts who had most sttoogly protested ^ against it ( Applause . )! . . Mr . Rasb remaTked > i that he had voted' for the general adaption of tta measure , but raUte / tfun any

J . 8 . Woetlby was anxious to obtain 1 ° ^ S ; i afom * ° * subject , as he could not but think the advantages promised , and which might possibly be secured by the introduction of those aebi . would be purchased too dearly by heavy taxation . On K ^^ i ^' *^^^^ -- **^ ^ found that of the four counties which had adopted the acts partially , three of them were in precisely the same and partly agricuUural , and he doubted much whether the introduction of the measure into Lancashire would be completely raocersful .
Mr . C WooD M . p ., wasBorrythemearore was not fuUy carried ont , because the modifications suggested by Mr . Stans&eld obviated all the objectf ons of e ^ ense . The subject had been before the Riding for a ywrTsfld with the information' they possessed as to the state of different parts of the Riding , if they were not bow competent to decide the question , he did not think they ever would be . He , therefore , hoped the Ckalrman would penisi la the motion which had been made . - ¦¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦• " !¦ ¦¦ . ¦ ' ¦' : ¦¦ ¦ ¦ : ' The Hon . Edwin Lascelles asked if any gentleman was prepared to say what district the Act should be applied to . -The Chairman replied that he was prepared to do so , if ; they were in committee , but it was not then newssary to give an opinion on the subject ' ¦' 'f MriW . L . F . SCOTT enquired whether the agricultural district would he exempt ?
The Chaibhan enquired how he would define th agricultural district ? This led to a desultory conversation on the subject , but it ended without any specific motion being made . The Bench then divided on Lord Wharncliffe ' s motion , when there appeared—For the motion , 39 ; against IV 30 . The adoption of the Rural Police , in some parts of the Riding , was accordingly carried . Lord Whabncliffb next mored— " That a committee he appointed for the purpose of obtaining further information-with regard to the particular parts of the Riding to which these provisions shall be applied , which committee shall report to the usual Adjourned Sessions at Wakefield , to be held on the flth December next" . .. ¦ . : ¦¦
A desultory conversation ensued as to whether this day would be convenient to the magistrates generally , whichjended in the motion being carried . The Chairman suggested that the committee should consist of magistrates from districts likely to be affected by the former resolution . Mr . WOOD submitted that instead of being a select committee it should be open to all magistrates . Some gentlemen would wish the districts with which they are connected to be included and others te be excluded ; and he had no donbt whoever was chairman of the committee would be thankful for the attendance of any gentleman , no matter on what side of the question his -views might be . Mr . B . Denison said if it were to be open , the Bench might as well then resolve itself into a committee on the subject
The ChaIBhan Observed that he always found small committees the most efficient It was ultimately resolved that a certain number of gentlemen from the different wapontakes shonld be appointed to form the committee , and that any magistrate might attend their meetings . . The following gentlemen were constituted the eommitte : —Mr . Armitage , Mr . Brandling , Mr . Henry Hird , Mr . Gossip , Mr . Wharton , the Hon . Edwin Lasceiles , Mr . Scott , Mr . Christopher Beckett , Col .. Markhom , the Rev . Mr . Cooke , Mr , Ellis , Mr . Hugh Parker , Mr . Beckett Denison , Mr . Pollard , and Mr . Thomas Ingleby , together with any other magistrate who may think proper to attend . The Hon . Edwin Lascelles was appointed chairman . This closed the discussion on the question .
FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . London , lfednesday Evening , Sept 23 , Quarter-past Seven . Hoi Contest for Lord Mayor . —The all-absorbing topic of conversation and discussion in the city , ( and to a great extent in the adjacent boroughs ) is the prospective election of Lord Mayor . Never , perhaps , inee the " Wilks and his glorious forty-five" agitation , were the denizens of the metropolis so actively engaged in civic strife as now . The Reform Bill contest , in which Sir John Key figured , by a double election as Lord Mayor on two successive occasions , was a tiifle compared to the mode in which the " dull monotony of trade' is now temporarily obliterated . The Tories are making tremendous efforts , both personally and by the expenditure of some of that " pelf which , during so many long years of monopoly , they have been wringing
from the industrious classes , tskeep Alderman Hatmer from the civic chair ; a position that , in whatever light it may be viewed by rational minds , is one to which , both in right of custom and of service , he is undoubtedly entitled . This , his opponents do not deny ; " but , " say they , in an address issued to-day , * , ' without bringing any charge against Alderman Harmer ' a private character , and without reflecting , in any manner ,, on his discharge of his public duties ; still less would they rest their opposition on any consideration of his political views or connections ; all reference to which , in the present question , they hold to be utterly inadmissible . Entirely repudiating all views or motives of these descriptions , they unreservedly declare that their whole ground of opposition to Alderman Harmer concerns his well-known and publicly admitted connection with the newspaper called the Weekly Dispatch !!"
MR . VINCENT . —At a meeting , on Monday , of the committee in aid of Mr .

Vincent ' s family . Subscriptions continue to be received by Mr . Cleave , the treasurer , and Mr . Dyson , the secretary . One of the brothers of Mr . Vincent , ( William , a youth of sixteen ) , embarked , last week , for New Zealand , a free passage having been procured for him through the exertions of the treasurer , aided by the . influence of H . S . Chapman , Esq . Thursday Eoening , September 24 .
_ Citt and Commercial News . —The Bank of England is said to be making strong [ attempts to influence the leading Members of Parliament , during the prssent vacation , in favour of the exclusive right of that Corporation to issue Bank Note throughout ^ England . This enormous monopoly is loudly denounced , even in embryo , in the City ; and will , of course , be resisted vigorously by the country banks of issue . It is no m pretty-well known that the young sprig of royalty , Priuoe George of Cambridge , has been "dropped on , " rather largely , by betting against Launcelot , the winner of the St . Leger . This circumstance has caused much excitement in certain circles . Prince AlSert having been sworn in as a Privy " Councillor , the en dit is that he is to have a seat in the Cabinet ; certainly the most s&wise Step that can be taken for him .
It has been recommended that tord Melbourne ( who is so gifted with the art of inventing pleasurable amusements , to wile away the hours of ennui with which royalty ia sometimes afflicted . ) should take npou himself , in addition to his duties as First Lord of the Treasury , the more active employment of— - first lady of the nursery . It is confidently affirmed by capitalists on 'Chanee that the Government has borrowed a considerable ' sum from the Bauk of England ; besides which , a new loan is talked of . '
