J71 GREAT BRITAIN STORES, L. WALTER, TAILOR, WOOLLEN DRAPER, HATTER, & GENERAL OUTFITTER, IN announcing to the Public that he has just received a very large Stock of the best manufactured FRENCH IIATS, which he will sell at a lower rate than the general common Silk Hats, sold for French, begs to invite the attention of the Neighbourhood at large to his SPLENDID STOCK of READY-MADE CLOTHING, for the present Season and particularly wishes to impress on the Public that this is the first Establishment in Wales which has adopted the judicious plan of marking the Selling Price, in plain figures, on every Article—a plan which cannot fail to be hailed with admiration, because, while it realizes the most sanguine hopes of the economist, must be a source of pride to the Proprietor, based as it is on the most enlightened views, and conducted upon the most honor- able principles. 0 L. WALTER confidently and positively asserts that his system must effect a greater saving to the Public, in the article of Dress, than ever yet has been realised in this part of the Kingdom. Aware that there is a general impression that lowness of price necessarily involves inferiority of quality, can unhesitatingly say, that with the facilities at his command and his practical experience in the Trade, he can secure lowness of price with every other concomitant advantage. L. W. earnestly solicits the attention of those persons who have not yet favoured him with a trial, confident that the result must be the general approbation and support of all parties who rightly appreciate the advantage of Fashionable Dress. The Proprietor of this Establishment, while he courts the custom of the wealthy, and renders it worthy their patronage by furnishing the very best material, and making up the same in the first style of the art, by the subjoined List of Prices, places the most elegant articles within the reach of all to whom economy is all object, with the addi- ional advantages of returning any article ordered which does not meet with their approbation.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS: "This work, a TENTH edition of which is now presented to the public—ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition ofa mOfe extended and clear detail ofgpnc,al principles as also by the insertion of several new and highiy in- teresting cases. The book, as has beon already stated, in the resuttotvery ample and daily increasing experience is a class of diseases, which for some unaccountable reason, have been cicher altogether over lo ked, or treated almost with in- difference by the ordmary medical practitioner. The numberless instances daily incurring, wherein affec,ions of the lungs putting on all the outer appearances of consumption which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful habit?, fully proves that the principle of the division of labor is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying, that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of A Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergy man."— Sun, Evening paper. The rage for books in all departments of science, literature, and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the present [ime.-The unavoidable conscljllence of tillS is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of inaifferent, USELESS, and even bad books.—With the force of this prejudice on our minds, wc with no little reluctance were indnccd 10 peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled •« MANHOOD.—The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and ongiu of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons.—And the result of our careful perusal of the work has been, to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for furnishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir. Old England. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them, of a very questionable tendency, made us extremely reluctant io take up another. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which prove so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to coid. sudden vicissitudes of temperature, hereditary taint, &c., is I ruly convincing and extremely satisfactory. A lid wc do not think we go too far in sayiug, that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, su valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. This is a work that wc feaf therc exists too much need for to cause us to hesitate to recommend it for geueral perusal. Every branch of those frightful maladies, whether the r-. suit of immoral habits or secret vices, is hefe succiuLtIy treated, and, divested of all meùical technicality, plain and easy directions are given for the best mode to be pursued in all cases, however complicated or apparently hopeless. To the married, as well as the unmarried, this little work alike affords consolation and cure in peculiar cases, and we are doing service to society in recommending it to geueral uotice.

KTerthyr Guardian Newspaper, DUKE-STREET, CARDIFF, BEGS most respectfully to inform his Friends and the Public generally, of the Counties of Glamorgan, Monmouth, and Brecon, that, with a view of rendering his paper a medium of furnishing copious and accurate Reports of all Public Meetings and Proceedings of in- terest that take place in the several Counties above named, together with a well condensed summary of Parliamen- tary, Metropolitan, Provincial, and Foreign Intelligence, he has enlarged the GUARDIAN to the present size; and, upon comparison, it will be found one of the LARGEST PAPERS IN THE PRINCIPALITY. An extensive font, it will be perceived, of BEAUTIFUL NEW TYPE of the most modern description has been provided. IT. \V., therefore, confidently trusts that his efforts to make the CARDIFF AND MERTHYR GUARDIAN thus more worthy of general attention, will secure to it an increased share of public support. As an Advertising medium, the GUARDIAN possesses peculiar and powerful claims upon the attention of the Commercial and Literary Public, as it is the, only paper advocating Conservative principles published for the Counties of Glamorgan and Brecon, and consequently is most extensively circulated amongst the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, Professional Men, Merchants, and princi- pal Tradesmen of those Counties; whilst in the important County of Monmouth it enjoys a circulation of some hundreds weekly.

--=- THE PATENT LAws.-These enactments, it is painful to state, are often found to be so extremely inoperative, that, after the author of some useful discovery has taken out a costly and expensive patent, it too often fails to effect its object, that of protecting the property and interests of the inventor. Happily, art supplies what legislation never could provide; and we have a splendid instance of its power in an engl aving before us of so exquisite a degree of perfection, as to set imitations at defiance, and frustrate all the machinations of the un- worthy. It appears that Messrs. ROWLAND and SON, the spirited Proprietors of the incomparable KALYDOR" for the toilet, have been induced, by the number of counterfeits, to engage Messrs. Perkins and Bacon to engrave this Label, of which we can only say, that it is the very perfection of art, and must defy all counterfeit or imitation.-(See Advertisement-) BRIDGE oVER THE SEVERN <« Citizen" of Bristol hôs addressed a Ions and ably written letter to the Bristol papers, on the subject of 'he Passage of the Severn, with the view of showing that any fixed mode of communication which can be placed thirty miles below the farthest existing bridge over such an estuary must be of immense advantage to the towns and districts lviug it, tbe extensive provinces on each side of the water. The writer proceeds—"There is no disguising the fact; the very existence of Bristol is at stake. Her commer- cial relations being principally unf, South Wales and the great mineral districts of Mouinouth and Glamorgan, she is in danger not only of losing her importance but her existence also. She has hitherto enjoyed a monopclly of all the region bounded by Gloucester, the North of Herefordshire, and North Wales—this extensive country, embracing in its round the populous haunts of the mining districts and the rich regions of agricultural fertility, Las been almost entirely supplied by Bristol with trading commodities. On walking round our Quays we find that without the vessels which trade with these distric ts, our commerce would be a shadow. If liristol lose her Welsh trade, we may write up on her Commercial Hooms "Ichabod," for indeed would her glory be departed. The sin6,11, question then f,r its is —How shall we meet this alarming competition ? 1 he danger is at hand. Already Liverpool knocks at the gates of South Wales, which are about to be opened to her. Shall we not enter with her; and on tfie strength < f old acquaintance retaino ir former friends; or shall we stand on the southern sho e of the channe1-make a polite bow to our rival, as she appropriates o 'r old connec- tions to herself, "nd give "P 'ns'°riotis;y al! our best and most valuable interes's ? Brisrol- aye or nj 1 Shall Liverpool, have its rail wav into South Walos, and Bi istol be denied one ? Aye or no ? Shall Liv rpool be permitted to howl down h'-r goods in three or four hours to Merthyr and iJontypool, and Bristol be still compelled to await the comparatively tedious and uncertain transit by Sea? Aye or no? Is it likelv that a trader on the hills who can get his crates and hoses of rnc:- chandize on the same day on which he writes for them from Liverpool, will wait a week for the tardy sloop which leaves the Welsh Back once on every Wednesday or Friday? Aye or no ? The promoters of a ferry at the New Fassage in opposition to a bridge at the Old Passage, would induce us to adopt a scheme which, if unfortunately carried out, would do more to annihilate the interests of Bristol than any act which has ever occurred. A ferry forsooth wouid we endeavour to put out a conflagration with a fire engine or a child's squirt ? The commerce of Bristol is at stake, from powerful competi- tion. One party offers a bruige and a railway, as the only means to S.lve it. And another party offers a ferry, and some rows of new villas behind the seawalls at the Xew Passage! Pleasant boxes these by the. bye Where a m'ln would have to sit on his own chimney top, to enjoy the prospects of the tadpoles around him and where he may delight in the sub- stantia) ehjovment of bathing in waters, the pelluciditv of which we must all be pretty well aware of. <II, Will Bristol interests be served bv the interruption of a Îe: ry, or by the facilities afforded by a bridue to the land export of her various commodities ? If Bristol interests were paramount we should never have heard of the Hock Crib project? Why should Bristol be thrust on one side, when by extending thw South Wales Uailway from the terminus at Temple Ga-e-tlie legitimate line from the South of Ireland and South Wales to Bath, Exeter and other important Towns, as well as the metro- polis. must include Bristol in a direct route? If the South Wales Line pass by meam of a bridge over the Severn, this City mu-t derive extensive advautages from the influx of per- sons from the South of Ireland. Th" distance from Holyhead to Dublin is 63 miles; and from Fishguard to Wexford is exactly the sallie; from Liverpool to Dublin is 133 miles and from Hobb's po;nt to Watenord is 109 miles. It is therefore certain that with an uninterrupted line of railway via Bristol to London, the wh.de 0f the South and South West of Ireland travellers will pass through this city. It is not too much to suppose that a great proportion would stop for a few hours to gaze on the old '< Queen of the West Couutrie," or to transact business among her merchants. To the Bristol and Kxeter Hailway an unbroken line n rthwards would be of considerable importance; it would in f-ct be a source of great profit in bunging a large" Ion,, traffic." Two other important points b: ar upon the question of Bridge or Ferry." A Uailway is contemplated from Southampton direct to Bristol, a')d [ think it will be of great service to this city. T.'ie circle will then be complete. Bristol wi I he the centre from which will spring all the radii of Railways. She will be like a spider in its circular web—everything that comes within the net will be brought to headquarters in the centre. The Great Western from London will come to Bristol the Birmingham and Gloucester will corr.e to Bristol—t]le p;xeter will come to Bristol—the South Wales will conie to RrjslOl-the North of England and Holy- head Lines will come to Bristol-the Southampton will come to Bristol. What a wlorious centre will Bristol be Destroy the system, by adopting a Ferry instead of a Bridge, and the scheme becomes disjointed; and Bristol is (for the reasons belore assigned), in a worse position than ever. Important as the points I have touched upon may be, I have left a ereat plum in my pudding, as a last dainty—the Forest of Dean. The mineral resources of this important district are incalcu- lable. A first authority declares that there is coal sufficient to last for many centuries and ion to an immense extent. These riches have been but very partially obtained the re- sources are undeveloped j & why ? Because there has always been a want of communication. Without means of conveying those ,treasures to proper in irk.-ts, they become like the miser's hoard, of no value to anybody but give to the Forest 01 Dean Railways and a Bridge, and mines and collieries in- numerable will sonn", at once, into life and action. At pre- sent there are many Yron mines and. collieries in work aud I have the means ot kiiowinv that pasties, of the most influential character, aie only waiting for uninterrupted lines of railway to commence operations on a gigantic scale. Bri.-tol and the West of Knglacd wi 1 be benefitted in two ways: by having coal of first-rate quality supplied at a low price; and by the erection of a second great market for her produce, similar to that which now enriches her merchants in Monmouthshire and South Wales. But all this. depends on the Bridge. The Bridge and nothing but the Bridge, will benefit Bristol. The Ferry, and nothing but the Ferry, will consign her to the tomb of the Capulets for ever!"
PRIVILEGE OF PARLIAMENT.
PRIVILEGE OF PARLIAMENT. e do not consider it possible, by any language that could be employed, by any argument or reason that could be urged, to place in a more conspicuous matinee before the world, the odious deformity of the principle of Par- liamentary privilege than by simply quoting the following dialogue. Bear in mind, good reader, that Mr. Harlow, ihe plaintiff, simply asks permission to go before a jury of his countrymen, and prove that he has sustained a giievous wrong from a party under the protection of the House: — On the motion of the Lord Chancellor, John Harlow was called in. lie was then examined by his Lordship as follows :— V\ here do you reside !—At No. 9, Leicester-square. Have you brought an action lately against Thomas Baker ?— Yes, I have. For wh.)t have you brought that action ?--For false and mali- cious language used— ^or f'lse and malicious lanquaqe used in giving evidence before a committee of this House1. —Yes. Have you any thing further that you wish to say upon that, subject ?-The only thing I htve to say is, that I am very much injured in my affairs through it and, in point of fllct, I know that it is not true You are aware that a complaint has been made to this House of your conduct in bringing that action ?—Yes. And that a complaint has been made that it is a breach of the privileges of this House Yes. Do you wish to say any thing further upon the subject ?—I was not at all aware that it was a breach of privilege at the time the action was commenced but I hope your lordships will give ms an opportunity of seeking redress; since I have been so materially injured by that statement. By Lord CampbelI.-Do you still mean to go on with that action?—My Lord, I am not at this moment prepared to say that I will not, or that I will. You are not at this moment prepared to say that you will not ? -No, 111Y lord. By the Earl of Radnor. — Are you prepared to stite that you hav.: suffered in your business in consequence of the statement which was made before that committee ?—Yes. my Lord, and I can prove it and the statement is perfectly fuse. The Lord Chancellor.— You may withdraw from the bar, but you must not leave the House. Then followed the attorney, who was employed to bring the action, and who stated he had done so under advice of an eminent counsel. itness—"W ill YOllr Lordships allow me to say that the action was brought because I had reason to believe that the evidence of Baker was totally unfounded ? The Lord Chaiicel'iur—YVe can't hear that. Lord Brougham—We can't try the parties. Witness—I believe it to be false, inasmuch as the information was quashed; and wc can prove all that was Mated by Baller before the committee was un/rue, The Lord Chancellor-That is wholly immaterial to the pre- sent question. The witness withdrew—the Lord Chancellor gravely moved, that John Hallow has been guilty of a breach of the privileges of this House," and a debate ensued, which any person reading it without knowing the precise question, would conclude, at the very least, must relate to another gunpowder plot-so grave were the speakers. so solemn did they look, so portentous were their speeches, and so heroically did they resolve that they might as well abdicate their functions, if they could not protect Thomas Baker, ex-superintendent of police, from the wrath of the tobacconist. Lord Brougham began by declaring that the question was "beyond all comparison the most momentous one that had been m ;aced since he h id the honour of a seat in the House." The Lord Chancellor "quite agreed with his noble and learned frien t;" and Lord Campbell, in a lofty spirit of self-devotion, proclaimed his readiness to take his own share of whatever unpopula- rity" might attach to the maintenance of their privileges. Meanwhile, the "poor tobacconist," as Lord ('ampbell called him, together with his attorney, was ordered into the custody of the Gentleman Usher of the Black Hoel-- a gentleman, by the way, whose charges for taking care of you are most exorbitant. I hope," sail Lord Brougham, the House will bear in mind that the ex- penses of a committal to the custody of the Black Rod are very serious." These the poor tobacconist will have to pay, in addition to the costs of the action as far as it has gone (for soon after Black Rod got hold of him, he instructed the attorney to discontinue the aetion)-alld in addition, most probably, to what the lawyer will have to pay before he gets out of his clutches. And this enormous penalty will have been inflicted upon him be- cause he fell into the very natural error of supposing that if he was injured in his affairs, by false and malicious" statements, he had the same means of redress open to him that every other subject possesses. The Lord Chancellor insisted upon it that the attorney was more to blame than his client, and he must have known what he was about but Lord Brougham remarked that it was hardly fair to expect he or any one should be acquainted with the pri- vileges of the House when nobody knew them except- ing his noble and learned friend and two or three others." Let not Parliament deceive itself. The nation has no sympathy with privileges, which in their exercise operate as a denial of justice to the subject; and whenever it shall meet with a man who will boldly, in his own per- son. try the issue of Law v. Privilege," it will find itself fighting the battle single-handed, with the assured cer- tainty of discomfiture. We cannot conclude these observations without a tri- bute of very sincere praise to Lord Brougham, whose speech oil this occasion was worthy of his best days as an advocate, whether pleading at the bar of that house, 01 elsewhere, for the rights and liberties of the subject, and worthy of even the greatest constitutional lawyer that ever opposed himself to the inroads of irresponsible power for defeating the administration of justice. We will quote one passage only. After asserting boldly and broadly those privileges of Parliament which are neces- sary to its very existence, and to enable it to perform its duty, lie thus described the act they were about to com- mit Here is a case of a civil right which attaches to an individual; it is a right vested in an individual; it arises out of a wrong and a grievous injury indicted on that individual on a complaint in which we have been informed, for we must take the whole toge- ther, that his character has been falsely and maliciously slan- dered by some other person that he has been greatly damnified by this slander, and that for this same slander he has sought redress, as by law he may, by bringing an action against the party so injuring him. V. hat are your Lordships now called upon to do To pronounce that the action thus brought is a breach of the privileges of this House. On Tuesday, the melancholy farce was brought to a close. Both the culprits (?) humbly petitioned the august assembly to be forgiven, for presuming to have recourse to the law of the land, and expressed all possible contrition for having committed such an inexpiable offence. I have been grievously injured in my trade and character, said the poor tobacconist," by the falsehoods and calumnies of one of your witnesses, but pardon my ignorance in supposing 1* had a right to seek redress be- fore the legal tribunals^of my country I now promise to withdraw my action, and submit, tn becomes me, to the injury I have sustained. Whereupon the Lord Chancel- lor, an equity Judge, and speaking in the name of the highest Court of equity in the kingdom, a Court of ulti- mate appeal, humanely, justly, mercifully announced, that the offender might"go about his business after satis- fying the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod for his trouble in having kept him in custody four-and-twenty houis. And this is-PRIVILEGE OF PARLIAMENT John Bull. -4 THE FRENCH IN ALGERIA. It is no exaggeration to say that the whole civilized world will read, with horror and disgust, the narrative contained in the Alchbar of Algiers, giving an account of the massacre of 500 human beings by a French officer, Colonel Peltssier, under circumstances which impart to the crime an almost unparalleled character of barbarity. The mind recoils from the contemplation of five hundred men, women, and children, an entire tribe of Arabs, taking refuge in a cavern from their ruthless invaders, and being there slowly burned to death, or suffocated, by Hinging into the entrance of it blazing faggots-the time required for the consummation of the bloody deed ex- tending from the morning of June 18th to one o'clock of the night of the 19th. 0 During that awful period of slaughter, the groans, the cries, the shrieks, the supplications of the miserable vic- tims were appalling—but they had no power to stay the savage mandate that had gone forth. That mandate, we are told, was given by one man (be his name for ever infamous!)-Colonel Pelissier--but butcher as he was, let us not forget that there were other butchers to execute his inhuman will. Such another monster could not be found among our own countrymen but of this we are convinced, that had an English Pelissier issued a like command to English soldiers, every man who received it would be a mutineer. If he could have accomplished the hellish deed alone-well and good -possibly (thouah that is doubtful) his men would have left him to do so; but we are as satisfied as we are of our own existence, they would not have done it for him. And then, to hear the French Minister of War, Marshal Soult, when interro- gated upon the subject in the Chamber of Deputies, ex. pressing his" personal disapprobation" of the atrocious act, and when he perceived that this frigid phrase was received with astonishment bordering on disgust, going a little further, and declaring that he "sincerely deplored it." Really He positively could not approve of, and actually did deplore, the butchery of more than five hun- dred human beings, where there existed no necessity for the death of one Imagine—it is an outrage upon the national character to do so—but just imagine a British officer to have committed thisfouldeed, & when the walls of Parliament rung with indignation, the Duke of Wel- lington coolly rising, and calmly declaring, that for him- self, personally, he certainly disapproved of it—indeed, he might say, he deplored it. His country would have disowned Him. When we first read the account in the Alchbar, we imagined it stood alone in the annals of military crimll- thai it was unparalleled. But no. It has a precedent and since it has, we rejoice to add, that it, too, is fur- nished by France—not by any other nation. InSimondi's History of the Italian llepublics, there is an account of a vast cave, called the Grotto of Masano, or Longara, in the mountains at whose base Vicenza is situated. Here, on one occasion, six thousand unfortunate beings had retired with all their goods the women and children were at the back of the grotto, and the men guarded its entrance." They had sought this refuge to escape from the enemy. A Captain of some Ftench adventurers, named L'Herisson, (continues the historian) discovered this retreat, a-id with his troop made vain efforts to penetrate into it; but foiled by its obscurity and its windings, he resolved to suffocate all within it. He tilted with faggots the part he had occupied, and set fire to them. Some nobles of Vicenza, who were among the refugees, now entreated the French to make an exception in their favour', and to let them ransom themselves, their wives, and children, and all of noble blood. But the peasants, their companions in misfortune, exclaimed that they should all perish gr be saved together. The whole cavern was now in names, and its entrance resembled the mouth of a furnace. The adventurers waited till the fire had finished its terrible ravages, to enter the cave and withdraw the booty which they h id purchased by such horrible cruelty. All had perished by suilb.-ation, except one yotin; man, who had placed himself near a chink through which a little air had reached him. None of the bodies had be 'u disfigured bv the fire; but their attitudes sufficiently indicated the agonies they had undergone before death. Several women were delivered in these torments, and their infants died with them. When the adventurers brought nark their booty to the camp, and recounted the mode of their obtaining it, they excited universal indigna- tion. The Chevalier Bayard went himself to the cavern with the Provost Marshal., and caused him to h 'ng in his presence, and in the midst of this scene of horror, two of the wretches who had kindled the fire. The Chevalier Bayard—sans peur et sans reproche — was the glory of a chivalrous age for his noble and gene- IOUS qualities. He was not a Soull. We wish there had been a Bayard in the French army in Algiers, to hang up Pelissier in the midst of his scene of horror," of which we find the following description in the letter of a correspondent, of the Herahlo, a Madrid paper, who was present at it. We regret we cannot make room for the whole. After describing the progress of the burning, and when the flames had subsided- I went (says he) towards the cavern, with two officers of Engineers, an officer of Artillery, and a detachment of from 30 to 60 men. At the entrance we found several animals dead, and already in a state of decomposition. We reached the entrance of the cavern over a layer of ashes a foot in depth, and from thence we penetrated about thirty yards into the interior. Nothing can give an idea of the' dreadful spectacle which then presented itself. All the bodies were naked, and in a position which indicated that they must have suffered the most horrid convulsions, and the blood was running from their mouths :n consequence of putrefaction having begun. But the most horrible sight of all was to see children at the breast who had died from the most horrid suilbcation, and their bodies lying about amongst those of sheep and other animals. In spite of all the exertions of the officers, the soldiers could not be prevented from searching the bodies to possess themselves of all the jewels they could find. The number of bodies amounted to from 800 to 1000. The Colonel would not our report, and sent other soldiers to reckon the bodies. GOO were taken from the cavern, without counting those which were heaped one upon the other, nor the children at the breast—nearly all hidden in their mothers' clothes. The Colonel was horrified himself at the result—he dreaded chiefly the attaehs of the newspapers, which would not fail to criticise so deplorable an act. On the evening of the 53d, we advanced our camp about half a league further on, as we were driven away from the spot by the infectious stench, and abandoned the place to the ravens and vultures, which had been for some time hovering round, and which may be seen even from our camp, carrying away large pieces of human flesh.-Ibid. °
DEATH OF EARL GREY.
DEATH OF EARL GREY. The death of this agefl peer took place on Thursday evening week, at the family residence, Ilowiek Hall, Northumberland, where he had been staying for the last few months with the countess and some of the junior members of the family. The venerable nobleman was in his 82d year. Som' time since the state of the noble earl's health was such as excited the worst fears of the members of his family, but after a short struggle he rallied, and was once more enabled, though only for a short time, to join the family. His illness, we believe, was owing to an attack of paralysis. lIe continued in rather an improved state up to the tifth instant, when he again appeared to droop. On Wednesday he grew considerably worse, and his extreme age, coupled with the violence of the attack, dispelled all fur- ther hopes of recovery, and he gradually sank; his medical advisers being still it attendance upon him until a late hour on Thursday night, when he expired in the presence of his countess, Viscount Howick (now Earl Grey), the lion. Capt. Grey, and some of the noble earl's domestics. viscout,t Howick had been in attendance at the House of Commons up to Wednesday, on which day he left for Howick House. Colonel Grey, we believe, only arrived on Friday even- ing, so that on his arrival he found that the noble earl had expired. The illness which thus bafHed aL human skill was unaccompanied by excess of pain, and the noble sufferer awaited the approach of his last moments with Christian resignation. The name of Charles Earl Grev is associated with the recol- lections of the great men and the memorable events of the bygone generation, and with the many party struggles and poli- ticians of the day. lie was born March 13, 1704, being son of the first E.lrl Grey, who, when Sir Charles Grey, was a distinguished military commander, hiving served at the memorable battle of Minden, the siege and conquest of Quebec, under Generat Woife. His mjther was the daughter of George (iulz, Esq., of Southwick. He received his education first at Eton and subsequently at King's College, Cambridge. When but 18 he visited the Conti- nent, and made the tour of several of the European states. He returned to his native country in 1780. In the latter mentioned year he was returned to Parliament for the county of Northum- berland, the vacancy having been occasioned by the elevation of Lord Lovaine to the upper house. He had not, however, com- pleted his i 1st year until two or three days previous to that on which he took his seat. n0 almost immediately joined the Whig party then in opposition under Charles Fox. His first speech was deliverell in the debate on Mr. Pitt's commercial treaty with France, and gave presage of the talent by which his tong parliamentary career was subsequently distinguished. The oratorical ability which he displayed on this occasion secured him a foremost position in the house, and during the same session, which was his first, he was named one of the managers in the impeachment of Warren Hastings, and from that time he always took a lea ling part in the debates. In 179 J Mr. Grey became a member of the Whig Club, and shortly afterwards of the great political confederation known as the "Friends of the People," the avowed object of which was to obtain a reform in the system of parliamentary representation. At the head of this formidably association stood the names of the principal members of the Whig party. Mr. Fox, however, declined to enrol his name among them, observing, Though I perceive great and enormous abuses, I do not see the remedy." The society, however, continued to grow in numbers aOlI to in- crease in influence. A series of resolutions, passed at the meet- ings* and a declaration of the principles and objects of the society were printed and extensively circulated. On the 30th of April Mr. Grey gave notice, in the House of Commons, of a motion, which, in the course of the next session, he should submit to the consideration of the house, the object of which was a reform in the representation of the people. The debate which arose on the motion when it was brought forward in the following session, and the struggles to which the desire in the country for the attainment of the object gave rise, which were continued for numerous years, are matters of history. The contest was severe and protracted. Its progress was occasion- ally interrupted by various circumstances; but, like a river, the current of which has received a temporary check, on the removal of the obstructions the onward course of public opinion was accelerated, and at length resistless. In January, 1890, Mr. Pitt died, and Mr. Fox was called to the administration of public affairs. Mr. Grey, who by the elevation of his father t) the peerage, had become Lord Ilowiek was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty, with a seat in the cabinet. In October following the country was deprived of the services of Mr. Fox. Lord Ilowiek then became leader of the House of Commons and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The abolition of the slave trade was proposed by this administration. Tho Sovereign took alarm at the attempt of the ministers to remove some of the existing disabilities Oil Roman Catholics, and they were dismissed, Parliament was dissolved. Lord Howick, not choosing to contest the county of Northumberland, took his seat for Appleby. The death of his father, which took place shortly after, removed him to the upper house of parliament. His lordship now took the title of Earl Grey. For several years after his succession to the peerage Earl Grey took 110 very prominent part in public affairs, The abortive attempt of George IV., in 1812, to induce him and Lord Grenville to join the Perceval administration, illustrated the integrity of his principles and the consistency of his conduct. The tragical death of Perceval, who was assassinated by Belling- ham shortly after, again opened a path for Lord Grey to place and power. There were, however, difficulties, and the noble lord did not take office. The retirement of Lord Liverpool, in 1827, placed Mr. Can- ning at tho helm of affairs, Lord Grey declined to support that statesman. His lordship, after the death of Mr. Canning, in a speech on the second reading of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, in 1829, justified himself for having declined to extend to the deceased statesman's administration his active support. Lord Grey took a prominent part in the trial of Queen Caroline before the House of Peers, and distinguished himself in the debates upin that occasion. After this the life of Earl Grey was passed principally in the bosom of his family until the sud- den termination of the Wellington administration, in 1830 brought him forth from his retirement to assume the reins of government. During the four years which he continued in office, he carried parliamentary reform and the abolition of slavery. Since his retirement from office, in 1834. he has taken no part in politics, but has resided principally at Howick, with his familv. It is almost impossible for us, his contemporaries, to take "a calm and dispassionate view of the career of Earl Grey, but his bitterest political opponents admit that his was essentially a great mind. An elegant orator, a conscientious and high- minded statesman, he carries with him to his grave the veneration of his friends and the respect of those to whom he was politically opposed. The noble earl married in 1794 the lIon. Mary Elizabeth Ponsonby, only daughter of the first Lord Ponsonby, an Irish peer, and by this lady, who survives him, lie leaves a numerous family. lie is succeeded to the title and estates by Viscount Howick. M.P. for Sunderland. He was born in 1802, and was married in 1832 to the youngest daughter of the late Sir Joseph Copley, Bart, (she was been in 18031. The noble lord was Under Secretary of State for the Colonies from 1830 to 1833, was in 1831 Under Secrotary for the Home Department, was Secretary at War in 1S39, and represented Winchelsea in the parliament of 182!j, Iligham Ferrers in that of 1830, and the northern division of Northumberland from 1831 to 1841, and was returned for Sunderland iu October, 1811.— Herald. « DEATH OF VI••COUNT CANTERBURY. It is with regret we have to announce the death of Viscount Canterbury, who expired Monday afternoon at 23 minutes after three at the Honorable Ilenrv Manners Sutton's residence in Southwick-crescent, Hyde-park. The immediate cause of death was apoplexy, and after the attack he experienced on the Great Western ItaiLvay in coining to town from D(>vonshire, he lost all power of speech and consciousness up to the moment of his death. The noble viscount, who had travelled from Exeter in a first- class carriage, is described by a gentleman, who was a passen- ger in the same carriage with his lordship, as having been ex- ceedingly cheerful throughout the journey, until the arrival of the train at Slough, when he was observed to take snuff, and look at his watch very often, and appeared as if absorbed in thought. After this he leant back in the carriage as if asleep, and continued so until the arrival of the train at Faddington. When the porter demanded the ticket rather loudly, his lordship Was observed twice to make an attempt to place his hand into his pocket, but was unable to do so. It was then found for the first time that he was ill. The Hon. llenry Manners Sutton, the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, and Mr. Sanderson M.P. and the lion. Mrs. Sanderson, were the only relatives with his lord- ship at his dissolution. An express was forwarded as early as possible after the noble viscount's arrival at his son's house, to Viscountess Canterbury and familv, who are at Itockbeare House, near Exeter, and another was sent to the Honourable Charles John Manners Sutton to Paris, in which capital the honorable gentleman has been residing for some time past. The deceased Charles Manners Sutton, Viscount Canterbury of the city of Canterbury, and Baron Bottesford, in the county of Leicester, in the peerage of the United Kingdom, was eldest son of Charles Manners Sutton, the late Archbishop of Canter- bury. He was born the 2yth January, 1780, and was therefore in his 6'Jth year. His lordship was twice married, namely, first, the 8th of July, 1811, to Charlotte, eldest daughter of John Dennison and secondly, 6th December, 1 s28, to Ellen, daughter of Mr- Edmund Power, relict of Mr. John Hume Purvis.
