FELLOW COUNTRYMEN. 1HOPE you will not think the worse of me for having -E. taken a few days to deliberate upon the important ques- tion, whether or not I should sacrifice my own_ftelings.and opinions, which aiv associated with the tranquillity ol private life, to the too partial favour and urgent^ solicitations ot the Constituency, who have deemed me qualified to fill the high station of a popular Representative in the British House of Commons. Some men (says our great Dramatist) are born to great- ness—some achieve greatness—and some have greatness thrust upon them." The last is my case. Whatever limy be thought by the young and ambitious mind, I am quite conscious that legislative wisdom is not intuitive, and that he, to whom a seat in Parliament is a mere object for the gratification of personal vanity, is not the most calculated to secure for his constituency the largest share of those great national bless- ings, which are comprised under the heads ot PEACE, JUSTICE, ECONOMY OF PUBLIC EXPENDITURE. EQUALITY OF TAXATION, and CIVIL AND RE- LIGIOUS LIBERTY! I will state, without further preface, that (in accordance with arrangements made with an influential Committee of your body), I shall be in the field as a Candidate for repre- senting you at the next Election and now, methinks, in the words of your own immortal Harry of Monmouth— I see you stand, like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start.

Wehaveontyon this subject to again reiterate, that if those opinions can be gathered by a careful and se- dulous canvass, Mr. Stanley must be the sitting member for Anglesea, by a majority that will fully justify the ori- ginal anticipations. of his committee. Mr. Stanley has continued since our last to visit the various districts in the county; and has addressed the electors both in the open air and in the national school rooms.— Carnarvon Ileruld. Mr. Burbidge, the ex-Town-clerk of Leicester, who has made a claim of £ 28,000 as compensation for the loss of his various offices, underwent an examination before the Town Council on VVednesday. Among the items by which this hoitest gentleman endeavours to ruAe up a large in- come for the purpose of establishing his claim, are lumping sums for attending election meetings, gratuities from mem- bers of Parliament, profits of opposition to the Reform Bill, &c. When before the Corporation Commissioners Mr. Burbidge stated the profits of his offices at £ 300; now that he claims compensation, lie averages the profits at be- tween £ 2,000 and £ 3,000! CHURCH-HATES.—A public meeting was held at the Guildhall, Bath, on Wednesday last, the Mayor, W. T. Blair, Esq., in the chair, for the purpose of agreeing to a petition to Parliament for the abolition of compulsory church-rates.—The business of the day was introduced by the chairman in a temperate and argumentative speech: he said, his decided and deliberate conviction was, that church-rates should be altogether abolished, as a most un- just and impolitic impost. It was a dishonour and re- proach to the establishment, which he was anxious to see done away, for it to be supposed that the wealthiestchnrch in Chistendom could, or would, not support its own edi- fices, and maintain its own worship. As a member of that church, jealous of its honours, and anxious to see its effi- ciency extended, he was quite willing, if need be, to pay double the amount he did at present. Theprincipfefor which they were contending had been already conceded in the extinction of church-cess in Ireland, and if legislation was conducted on sound principles, if it was national and not sectarian, they should not have laws abolishing an un- just impost in one part of the empire, because it could no longer be withheld, and supporting it in another, merely because the dominant and interested parly had the power to enforce tt.-The first resolution was moved by Admiral Gordon. In arguing the question of the abolition of church rates, he was, as a churchman himself, impelled by two motives:—the one a desire to do justice to his dissenting brethren, and the other to express his gratitude to that body. Fifty years ago, when at New College, Oxford, in which he was at liberty to matriculate, as being of kin to the founder, he had been instructed by the warden that ii was Ili# ',Oouii(leti dtity to be just and true in his dealings with all men, and it was in his desire to act up to this maxim that he suepo/ted the abolition of church-rates, the lop&ion 3f wliiiSpwas unjust," ami in this course, he nffirmfed that he was the best friend of the church.—H. Godwin, Esq., moved the second resolution. He said it had been argued in one of the Bath papers, that the ques- tion of abolishing church-rates involved another—viz., whether the established church should be suffered to exist or not. He denied that it would lead to such an issue, but, if the law were unjust, and its repeal must be followed by such a consequence, he still would say, let them do justice, even if the heavens should fall." He maintained, however, that the church itself would benefit by the repeal of the law, for it would remove the heart-burnings and bickerings and unseemly proceedings which were con- stantly taking place, when those lates were to be levied.— Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and the various resojulioris were passed with one dissentient only. -The Bath Herald says, a meeting for the purpose of adopting a counter-petition, has been called by the Arch- deacon of Bath, in pursuance of a numerously-signed requisition, and will be holden at the Rooms on Tuesday next. SUGAR-TRAQY OF BtnsTOL.—At the last annual meeting of the subscribers io the Chamber of Commerce, two large and respectable dealers stated their conviction that Bristol afforded an advantageous vent for a considerably larger amount of sugar than was at present brought to the port. There cannot be a stronger proof of the soundness of these gentlemen's views than the picture presented in the follow- ing table:- Imiiort of West-India Suzar into Bristol. 1826 31,500 Hhds. & Trcs. 1832 26,900 JIhds. & Tics. 1827 27.10D 1833 25,600 1828 34,400 1 1834 24,900 1829 33,700 1835 23,300 '830 30,100 1836 20,300 1831 32,000 By this statement, we see that the importation of West- India sugar has decreased from 34,400 casks, in 1828, to 20,300, in 1836, making a deficiency of more than one- third; at the same time, the number of houses engaged in the trade being the same now as then, they are driven to secure a profitable result upon a very diminished scale of business, which is no easy task to achieve in these days of extreme competition. We are well aware that, since 1828, a new branch of the sugar-trade has sprung up, wlif(:Ii ltas of late years grown into importance: in 1831, our import from the Mauritius and the East Indies was 22,500 bags; in 1836, it amounted to 50,020 bags; whilst, in 1835, it reached 67,830 bags. This extra supply has in part filled up the uap that has been made in the West-India t.ade; but even after fnaking an ample allowance for this addi- tional import, we shall find that the aei!regale direct foreign sugar trade of Bristol, for the year 1836, is fuHyone-tou)))) less than that of 1828. This IS an ullnalmal and a highly injurious state 01 things it must materially cripple the resources of th^e who are engaged in the trade, and, at the same timfl, operate as a heavy tax upon the large and increasing population of this city and its neighbourhood. It must be left to those who are personally interested to find out and to apply a temedy for this evil; but we can- not avoid suggesting to those who have alieady connections abroad, the necessity of their them upon a scale commensurate wilh the wants of the port, before our rapid lailway communication with Loudon shall have tempted London merchants to open establishments that would be welcomed and be well supported.— Bristol Mercury. A serious accident occurred on Tuesday, in the parish of Willesborough, in the following extraordinary manner: —A butcher, named Back, residing at Ilylhe, was pro- ceeding on fool with another man to Ashford-market, and when near Lacton-green turnpike they were overtaken by a man named Ayersi on horseback, who entered into con- versation will. them, and they all proceeded on in com- pany a short time, when Back challenged Ayerst to run a race to the Bricklayer's Arms, he (Back) on foot, and Ay- erst to ride his own horse, first turniiilg it half round. They accordingly started in the manner proposed, and Back took the lead for some distance, but Ayerst soon ra; idjy gained upon him, and finding from the speed of his horse he could not avoid a contact, cried out to Back to take care, but before he could get out of the way the shoulder of the horse struck his back, and knocked him down, which killed him on the spot. An inquest was held on the body, when the above facts having been given in ev). dencp. the jury returned a verdict of "Accidentat Death," levying a deodand of 20s on the horse.—Kent Herald. AiiusF, OF THE Poon LAWS.—A most extraordinary cir- cumstance has come to our knowledge in the north of this county, not very far from the Wolds.

In point of fact, he may be regarded as having had the money to pay his own rent; and some excitement prevattinga-bout it among the rate-payers, the parish authoiities have ap- plied to ilie commissioner, to know how to proceed to raise the f40 to pay the loan .— Hertford Reformer.

APPALLING MURDER AND SVtCIDE.-Friday n:ght an inquest was held. at the board-room of the workhouse, Cas tie-street, Leicester-square, London, before Mr. Iliggs and a respectable jury, on view of the bodies of John Briant and ——- Briant, his son. R. E. Gosbee deposed, that he is landlord of the Prince's Head, Buckingham-street, Strand, and that morning having sent his servant to the second floor back room, in which the deceased lay the night before, he returned, and stated that lie found the de- ceased in their night clothes, the father's neck stretched along that of his son's, and both literally drenched with blood. Witness immediately sent for a surgeon, who pro- nounced them to be both dead, and they were conveyed to the workhouse. Witness had since gone to Dartford, where he was informed by the clergyman of the parish that he was a married man; he had lately been engaged in several unsuccessful speculations, but just before his death had kept a shop near the Black Buil, in which he sold ham, beef fruit, &c. His wife had left him last Sun- day, and proceeded to her father's, who lived at Eltham. —Thos. Westlake, servant to the last witness, went to the bedroom where the deceased and his son lay, about half- past seven o'clock this morning (not knowing, however, that they slept there), and finding them asleep lie did not disturb them at nine o'clock he went up again to ask them if they would come down lo breakfast, to which Mr. Briant said, "No; we'll not get up yet;" I asked him if I should clean the boots, aud he said, "Never mind iliem now." When I first went into the room in the mottling, 1 kicked my feet against a razor; it had a black handle, but suspecting nothing I said nothing of it to my master; as it grew later my master sent me up again, when I saw the. father stretched over his son, with both their throats diead- fully cut, and overwhelmed in blood. At a quarter after nine o'clock the boy appeared to be asleep, and the father yioke ratipnajly, like other m^n.; wo in the house, and he went out at eight o'clock this morn- ing; the boy had been dead for two hours, for at twelve o clock the blood was quite congealed.—Mr. Arthur B Jones, house surgeon of Charingycross Hospital, stated, that being sent for by Mr. Gosbee, he saw tiw two de- ceased persons lying in the bed, the boy being undermost; the throats of both were most extensively cut, particularly that of the boy, which was completely cut across from sidi- to side, dividmg all the great parts of the blood-vessels, and all the soft parts to the spine; the butom of the wound was jagged, as if it had been cut two or three dif- ferent times; the boy must have died almost immediately of the wound the father was lying over the hoy a little off the side of the bed, near which I fuund the razor. (Here witness produced the razor, which was old and co- vered with blood, and marked Bnant.) The razor wss shut as it now is when I found it. By the Coroner: could he have shut it after lie had used it in this manner?—I think he might, as he may have lived some minutes after he had inflicted ihe dreadful wound the wound of the father was not so extensive, but was very deep, and ex- tended to the spine, but lIot cornplettly severing the artery on the right side; I searched all his pockets, and found a policy of insurance for £ 200 on ihe Norwich Union from Sept. 1836 to 1837, and other papers, which I now pro- duce, together with money to the value of £1 0s I I Id.- Mr. Elizabeth Gosbee, wife of the first witness, deposed, that on Thursday night the deceased, accompanied by a boy, came to her house about one o'clock at night, and asked for a bed, which was at first refused but having the child with him, I said he should have one; he was per- fectly sober, but very dejected he took no notice of the boy, but was not unkind to him the boy proposed to his father that they should h;<ve a glass of shrub between them which they drank he paid me for the bed, and accounted for his keeping the child out so late by saying that they had been at the theatre; none of the servants being then up, I called the watchman to light him up to bed, and having done so, he requested to have a glass of ruin-and- water, with which he was served. All the time he re- mained at the bar he had something very odd and sad in his manner.—Joseph Milford, a private watchman about Buckingham-street and the Adelphi, opened the street- door of the Prince's head, and let the deceased in, about one o'clock; witness lighted him up to bed, but he spoke very little; he was kind to the boy. There being no fur- ther evidence the inquest was adjourned.

SINGULAR DISCOVERY OKA NOBLEMAN CHEATING AT CARDS. —One of the most curious instances on record of successful swindling at the card-table occurred some time since at Baden. Some weeks previously to the commencement of the se,ison, just as the preparations of the club and Redante were beginning, a Jew pedlar arrived at the place, on his way to Slutgardt, offer- ing for sale, among other articles, some hundreds of packs of playing cards. The man stated himself to be in want and having, as he declared, purchased the packs at the sale of a bankrupt card manufactuier at Pans, and smuggled them over the fiontier, was enabled to part with them at a very low rate. On examination, the cards appeared of the best quality, nothing unusual was perceived, and the whole two hundied and seventy packs were purchased in the place, and at the beginning of the season placed on the various tables, for general use. Early 10 the season, when society began to throng 10 Badcn, arrives fiom Belgium the Count van travelling wilh a well-appoinied equipage and weil-filled purse, and expressing an intention of passing the remainder of the autumn at Haded, for the purpose of drinking the waters. Like other invalids, the Count, of course, betook himself every evening for relaxation to the card- table, and, to the dismay of all the players, fair or foul, soon contrived to pocket winnings to an extrnordinaiv amount. Ao unhandsome slIrpicions were enteriained the Count's luck was universal, whether his paitner at t'cuiic happened 10 be Ihe shrewdest Chevalier d'Industrie of like place, or the idlest fine lady of the empire. Ile paid his way libetally-he dispensed his smiles popularly-he was invited every where, feted every- where-courted by mammaa for their daughters, by daindiieis for themselves the Count van in shoit, was the fashion. It was only regretted by certain ladies of a certain age, not over fond of suhjeeiing their charms to a minute inspection, that Van —— was never to be seen without his spectacles. Other near-sighted men, however, assume a similar privilege; tlieie was nothing uncommon in the case. At length, one very hot night in July, when the rooms were unusually crowded, and the tcartc table, where the lurky Count was enjoying his usiiiil triumphs, surrounded by the admiring and the envious Van —— having taken out his handkerchief to wioe his fore. head, was for a single moment between the deals induced to lav aside his spectacles. Compliments were instantly showered upon him by his fair friends on the re-juvenization of his ap- pearance by the absence of these unbecoming appendages, when a young French Colonel, a cox com b of consufera hie pretentions, snatching them from the table, and fining them on, lemarlied that the Apollo Belvidere himself would look frightful with such an addition to his toilet. The Count instantly claimed hack his property, protesiing lliat though his eyes were open to the ughnessot the spectacles, they were indispensable to his comfort. But the Colonel's eyes were now opened also. The spectacles pioved lobe maitmtu-ts of ihe hi^luvi power, ena- bling the wearer to disct; n HI ihe back of h;< antagonist's caids certain crosses and mads invisible m I eye.

II EA D-Qt"A RTF.us, BILBOA, -Fen. 4.—Tiip e> PNIR.G before last the division of General Kibero arrived ."ina took up their quarters at Poriugaktte, (Sa:iiur», a/id Ceshto. The first division of the main army, COIJlIlJ;n,<1",d by GenenJ y Escalera, marched soon after daylight oil same mom' ing to covei the march (,f-# reinforcement, occupying the heights of Santa Aotrid*, I which they arrived by that bridge of Castrajana was so interesting a point during the late eperalismi ;for the relief of Bilboa. A slight skwmishing took plate with Cm-,tor's battallions and the rearguard of General fiscaleta's division the latter having only lost one man ItiiteW and three or four wounded, As mentioned in a former letter, the Carlisis have been dreadfully alarmed at all these movements. The Infante, Don Sebastian catne in all haste lo Galdacano, with seven or eight batlaHions and some field pieces, in order to ani- mate the troops who were under arm. and expecting a determined attack but Iie mttirne(I afterwards to Zorno- za, whence he inarched at len yesterday morning towards Ordtma, having been preceded by seven or eight battal- lions J and it is understood that to-day they have returned to Arrigorrtaga, From a soUtce cq7 which I have reason to rely, I leani th,a! some influential persons among the Carlists say that the war wi!f be finished almost imme- diately, and in a manner which will surprise most peo- ple. The fact is, that the immense and etiicient force now about to he brought against the dispirited bands of the Pretender have created a panic among them and the be- lief is becoming stronger every day that Don Carlos is about to quit the country on which he has brought so much affliction. Gomez was brought before a council of war at Durango three days ago. During his examination, I un- derstand various officers, among them the commandant of one of the Carlist Castilian regiments, and who was for- merly in the Queen's service, were arrested. They are accused of having been implicated in Gomez's intended flight to France with a portion of the booty he had ob- tained. After some hours Gomez, apparently much de- jected, was marched off between two files of men. lie was in bad plight, and wore a pair of soldier's shoes. It is believed that he was been sent to the castle of Guebara, where he is to be closely confined. General Kibero's di- vision consists of fourteen battalions, uncommonly fine troops, and full of ardour to meet tiie emcy. The Gene- ral himself has a tery soldierly ;>;>peu: m< e.

The weather is unusually fine and the sea smooth. ,1 under- stand that it has been finally settled that the troops fo he detached on this important service are those lately under the command of Narvaez they have, as you are aware, dis cipline and valour. Deeply is it to be deplored that the gallant officer lately at their head should, by a succession of unjustifiable occurrences, be now absent. The troops themselves will do their duty, and will no doubt be well commanded but 'tis deplorable that the olficer who so ably led them on under the late critical circumstances should be deprived of his share of the glorious harvest which I feel persuaded is now at hand. According to the best calculation I am able at 'his moment to make the Christino force now able to be brought into the field in the four Basqne provinces is about 45,000 excellent troops, With a well-combined and promptly-executed plan, and under the circumstances of discouragement by which the faction is oppressed, I feel persuaded its extinction will be by no means a difficult task.

Le Comte Aueuste de la Haute Truandaille was a younger son of a nobte family who had dissipated his little patrimony very soon after he ob- tained possession, and had ever since lived upon his wits as a chevalier d'indastrie.' He was by no means a first-rater in his profession, never having duly served his apprenticeship, and was endowed with the will alone, and not the abitity to do much mischief. Yet he picked up a precarious livelihood by prowling about in search of men more foolish than himself and taking a range among small fry of every description. His ef. forts affurded him but a meagre subsistence. The mominc light found him sleeping in a garret between two dirty sacks of straw, his wardrobe consisting of one light blue coat, with a prodigious velvet collar, one purple velvet waistcoat, one pair of mulbeiry cloth irowsers, one pair of Wellington boots with moveable spurs, whose virgin brass was innocent of assailing a horse's flank, one dirty flannel dressing gown in which he slept one coloured silk pocket handkerchief, three yards of black silk which constituted the cravat, and the before. mentioned imita- tion cf gold chains, which were displayed upon his person as a decoy to the unwary, like the copper gilding of a stale ginger. bread cake. He was acquainted wilh a trick or two at cards and could borrow Inoney of a friend, his memory beco-nini; longer or shorter, on the subject of repayment, in an inverse ratio with the amount, that is, he would aometimes refund a franc, but nevei a Napoleon. He displayed some address in making up to a novice or a stranger, and seldom missed an op- portunity of secreting rings, watches, snuff-boxes, silk hand- kerch.efs, or loose money, in the apartments of his acquaintance but was above picking pockets or shoplifting, and would en- dure any privation ralher than commit such baseness, unworthy a scion ot La Haute Truandaille. When fortunate in his pur- suits, lie I;ve(i and moved, and had his being' like a gentle- man when luckless and destitute, lie cheerfully endured his garrett, and his dinner chez la Garieniere, in the hope of bet- ter times.
