represeks an calumnies op the NEW RAILWAY. (Frwn To the Edilor'of the Brighton Patriot. Sm-ln answer to' the Editor of the apostate Briehl, DEFEAT OF THE TORY OFFICIALS. Our readers will remember that at one of the most numerous and respectable vestry meetings ever held in this town, a deputation was unanimously appointed, and requested to wait upon the Poor Law Commissioners, and state to them the ttrong objections felt generally to the introduction of the new Poor Law Act into this parish. That deputation, accordingly proceeded to London -had an interview with the Poor Law Commissonere, who paid every attention to their representations, and the result was, that the Act has not been introduced the Poor Law Commissioners recommending the inhabitants to proceed at Easter as usual in the elections.

s. The expense incurred by the deputation was about 13, and if ever a proper disbursement was made by the Directors and Guardians, this wis one. The question was brought before that body on Thursday evening last, when the payment ol this sum was resisted by the Tory officials, and their clique, and supported by the Whigs. On a division the majority and minority stood thus these attacks, rejoicing in the effect produced bv the Barnes, the Lovejoys. Hilton.

Fiests. and Mephams." 1 liese. then, are the "reckless And the Guardian complains of per-sons being driven into private life, rather than be exposed to mtearUy and insolence What does hp call Hits' Can he mention the name of one tradesman id Bngbion more respectable in his character as a Commissioner, a tradesman, a father of a family, as a parishioner, than Mr, John Hilton 1 a man whom his greatest opponents (always excepting the conductor or the Guardian) respect, and against whom calumny itself cannot bring a charge. As to any insinuations against ourselves, we shall not condescend even to allude to them, conscious that if ever man did act upon upiight motives and convictions, we might- lay claim to it. It the conductor of the Guardian has ought to bring against Messrs.

Barnes, Fiest, or others, let him do it if he can. It is true that they have taken an active part in some of the public proceedings in this parish, and it is because they have acted independently that they are held forth to the woild, to use the polite language of the Guardian, as reefctejs htnekguards." As to the retirement into private life of (a term which the Guardian formerly used to ridicule so lustily) leformers, it may be known to him, but we believe it is to none else. There are as many in the Commission and among the Directors and Guardians as formerly. But they do not go to town meetings! They could muster numerously enough at the railroad it is quite true that neither Whig nor Mongrel have ever attended one meeting they have never moved one finger to assist in extending the elective franchise to the ten-pound householders, who have been deprived of their suffrages by the construction of the Reform Bill by the and which construction has deprived thousands of the inhabitants of Brighton of their votes. Le.ves, with a population of only about 8,000 inhabitants, has 800 electors, whilst Brighton, with a population varying from 45,000 to 70,000, has only about 1,400 electors.

One would have thought that the supporters of Earl Grey's Reform Bill would have been the most zealous to extend the franchise as widely as possible, and yet, with a degree of inconsistency amounting to political turpitude, these respectable reformers" are the very men who join with the Tories toenclude the ten-pound compound tenants from the register. And it is because the Radicals, labour to procure the extension of thesutTiage to the compound voters, that they are assailed, maligned, and called reckless blackguards." The reason is obvious i if the compound tenants obtain the franchise, the Whigs, if they wish to possess any political influence, must join the Radical cause; and rather than do this they would connive at the return of the Tory. And yet these very respectable refoimers" are ardent admirers of Mr. O'Connell the Radical O'Connell so easy is it for n.en to he zealous reformers in the abstract, but who, practically, are just the reverse. It is true, also, that neither Whig nor Mougrel can form any thing like a club or association, and for this reason, it suits their views to contract the franchise as much as possible, and to keep off popular influences and impulses.

Hence they have no base nothing upon which they can rest. They are like officers without an army. The respectable reformers" will one day discover their error. They will see that the Reform Hill, inefficient as it is, recognises the democratic principle and if respectable refoi'Hieis" expect to possess any political influence, they must mix themselves up with the Democracy. The respectable reformers'' are not, nor ever will be, where the Reform Bill has anything like fair play, able to form a sepaiate amTdistinct party.

They may be powerful as leaders, but to become such they must discard much of their piide, their exclusiveness. and. consent to act upon, as well as adopt in theory, Radical principles. We lament ihe divisions that exist as much as any one, but ihe fault has cot been wilh the Liberals. It is an absurdity for the VVhigs-the smallest party in the town to expect to engross this borough.and to retu nboth Metnbers.and never will it be submitted to.

If all the Radicals were to vanish to-morrow, they could not succeed: a Tory would then be returned and if the independence of the boiougli is to be preserved if a Tory is to be kept out, it can only be done through the Radicals. For the Whigs, therefore, to be treating ihem, as they have done, with insult and contempt, is exneme folly and if Radical principles were not deeply seated in the bosoms of the Liberals, the inevitable effect of such treatment at the hands of the respectable reformers" would beto throw the borough into the hands of the Tories. A Torv and a Radical could not vote more directly in each other's teeth than do Mr. Wigney and Captain Pechell, upon all political subjects, at this moment. "WHAT IS MR.

SLIGHT'S OBJECT? "Seeing the gieat mischief he has effected, -for although we are at present opposed to Mr. Slight, we are not disposed to deny the influence either for good or evil he has the gilt of exercising over an assembled populaee, seeing, we say, the mischief he has effected, we may faiily ask what urges him on to persevere in a course destructive of the great principle he professes to worship." Brighton Guardian. Mr. Slight is at any rate as good a dish, and as great (comparatively) a source of profit to the Guardian, as Mr. O'Connell is to the Times or iming Post.

Nothing of a local nature is ever noticed by the Guardian, but in Mr. Slight is lugged by the neck and shoulders; and in the last publication he was seived out in every possible way which the morbid imagination of the conductor of the Guardian could suggest. Having asked the question at the head of the above quotation, the writer leaves it, and then goes on to argue with Mr. Slight on the impolicy of opposing ihe present Ministry, anil then' he says we find both the Members for Brighton amwg the adherents of this' (Lord Melbourne's) lieform Ministry." What an unfortunate allega'ion, and false as usual. Vpjo about the time the conductor of the Guardian was vynting, there had been no question nf much importance to divide the Radicals and the Whigs in the House but moment such a question arose, where do we find both the members for Brighton 1 both supporting the reform Ministry 1 No Ciipt.

Pechell supported the Ministry against Mr. D. W. Harvey's motion to revise the civil list, and Mr. Wigney suppoits that motion, and votes plump in the teeth of his colleague and the Reform The Guardian then says, that "upon the Radicals they (the sitting members) have this further claim -that in id instances out of 20, the votes of both are in accordance with the principles for which then contend." "They!" Whol The members or the We assume the Radicals is meant, because we imagine the Guardian himself does nut suppose either of the members have am; principles.

Well, now, is it true that hath Ihe members, 19 lime's out of 20, support the piinciples for which the Radicals contend' Do thev Atft support the revision of the Civil Act The Ballot? The repeal of the Septennial Aci 1 The extension of the Suffrage The repeal of ihe tax-paying clauses of the Reform Hill 1 The abolition of the qualification of Members, Let their votes show: if Ihey do, we aie wrong and will readily admit the Guardian is right. The Guardian then says that if thev (the members) were supported by the Radical party with sincerity, we do not know thai they would not give the 20th vote in their favour. If, then, principles are to be considered (what else should 1) it is the duty of n(( to give such members their support." If Mr. Harvey had brought on his motion a little sooner the conductor of the Guardian would not have written this sentence, and now that Pechell and Wigney voted directly aeeinst each other, we have the Guordi'in to evtrira'e himself from the dilemma in which fie is plunged as lie best can. The rest of the aiticle about Mr.

Slight's object is mere tivmldln.

Dodd delivered a lecture before the Mechanics Institution, on the muscular part of the 'human frame. Lord Aithur Lennox and Lord G. Lennox both voted for Sir A. Agnew's motion, which renders them still more contemptible in the ighl of ihe people of Chichester. If they did it fiom principle, we might smile at what we considered a piece of silliness, but when we can judge of the purity of their morals, and know they gave this vote lo please those who call themselves evangelicals in this place, to catch their, suffrages, we think them more worthless than before.

Do they think bo to blind the people lo the mischiefs that might arise lo us when they vote against our liberty when they are absent on great questions that deeply effect the welfare of our country and in fact, do they think they can in any way cause us to forgelthat they are the representatives of Goodwood with all its prejudices and hostility to the rights of the people and that they aie an incubus that weighs heavily upon us. On Friday evening a meeting was held at tlie Fountain Inn to petition the House of Commons for a repeal of the new Poor Law, or for a great modification of its provisions. Mr. J. Gregg having taken the chair.

Rev. J. Fullager rose to piopose a petition he had drawn up, obseiving that if any part of it did not meet the views of some present, he should be happy to listen to their objection, and to alter any words that on consideration might be thought too strong. He said he had suffered much lepioach in coming among the Radicals so much, but the two oilier parties of the city never orignated petitions, nor niaved in politics. He had taken great interest in the measure in which they were then met, more than o.i any odier.

It aa so gieat a change, and had been so generally supported, that he should approach the subject with hesitation, did he not know that some of the greatest measures that have been of late years adopted were formeily advocated in some cases bul by one or two persons. He recollecied when Alderman W'aithniau used to bring forward the cjtiesiiou ot Iteformiii London with Mr. Favellonly lo support it. The iiiiitiia that was now raging for the new Poor Law would end as nil other manias as the mania for enclosures, and he was not qui sure but that thai had led to somewhatthe pretent state of the poor. He was sui prised that a government having the least liumuiiiiy could pass so ciuel a law, and that Ministers of the Gospels who were busy about bills for the better observance of the Sabbath and Bible Societies, could support it.

The frreat feature of Christianity was Charity, which this bill threw entirely overboard. There had been a great clamour against the old Poor Law, but he did not see that the poor's lates since the Act of Llizabcth have increased out of proporiion to the revenue- The only thing of utility in the Bill is the law of settlement, the old practice was bad. Mr. Sergeant D'Oyley in passing sentence on some men a short time since said the new Poor Law Bill only carried into effect the Act'of Elizabeth," now he (Mr. could not see it in that light.

That act was intended to relieve the impotent poor to find work for the able-bodied at a remunerating pi ice. But this Hill has no Other remedy than indoor relief. He had read what Itlackstone says on the law for the relief of the poor, which corroborated his opinion, and he was surprised that Serjeant D'Oyley could have said what was reported. The workhouses he saw with honor rising around him were places of confinement for the gnod and bad, the idle and the industrious, a system very different fiom what the Act of Elizabeth intended. Theie was no remuneration and the poor who wanted work must either go into them, starve, or emigrate.

Mr. F. then spoke of the clause respecting basturdy. Here it was evident that gentlemen passed the hill; il tended to encourage prostitution and infanticide; it threw evei obstacle in the way of marriage, and was decidely immoial. The Hi I made a difference between the poor and the rich, and whilst ihe state paupers continued, it was cruel to tell the poor man, not having woik, to maintain himself.

He could not join wiih others, when at tlie poor-house, to send away the old and infirm. We take care of our animals when they get old. The Bill was hostile to the genius and the spirit of Christianity, and if perseveied in, would lower the characier of Englishmen, making us a mere pence saving people, and thiowing aside the great principle of charity. Mr. R.

Lacey seconded the petition. Mr. J.Powell approved the petition, except the pan on bastardy; the old law was the cause of perjury, i he petition being put fiom the chair was cairied unanimously. Mr. Fullager wished itshould be presented by Mr.

Kemp, as he had decla ed his opposition to the Rill. Mr. Grey lamented that they had no representative of themselves to whom they would entrust it. They could not send it to Lord Arthur nor Lord G. Lennox.

The head of their house was chairman at Hampnelt, and the father of J. A. Smith was a Guardian at the tame place. Capital was represented in the House of Commons, but not labour. Every measure brought forward for the interest of the poor man was looked upon very coldly.

He should 'never rest satisfied till he saw England fit for a poor man to live in; he did not want to see labourers sent out of the country. A day or two ago 9 waggons had passed tluough the the citv with emigrants. He begged ot all present to use their best exertions for deform, and not despair. He reflecied with pleasure iliat he was the man that furnished a table of the dietary of West llainptieit Union to Mr. Cobliett, who exposed il in the House of Commons, and he had no doubt it had been the means of the 250 poor poisons confined there, faring better than itwas intended they should do.

It appeals that she was but sixteen years of age wv.en she was mariied, to her husband whose age has been erroneously slated he being tlien sixty-one years old. To this ill-concerted match, without ihe slightest inclination on her part, she was persuaded by her friends.

She lived at that time in Bristol, in a very humble service, and Ednt-y scpplied the house in which she lived with eggs, butter, and poultry. About two years and a half ago she became attached to a vouim man, and in the hope that lie would marry her on the death of her husband, sue perpetraieti tne norriucuine for which she forfeited her We.

This is thought to be a very short cut indeed. A celebrated Royal Duke is the chief projector. The thud proposition is for A Ituil rmd from the Bar of the Criminal Court to the Bench of the Common Pleas. Lord Wynford, formerly Judge Best, has a great shaie in this speculation. Another suggestion is for A Rail-road from Cumberland to the Infernal lltgians.

This is thought lo he a very di rect line, and tiie distance is so cxtrcanlti short, that the estimated expense will be very modciafe. We have likewise to propose A Bail-road from Lyudhursl to the Zunis at Kenningtm. ihis is one of the very shoit distance We have also to suggest A llail-road from Printing House-square to the Carlton Club.

To a great extent, we fear this statement is coneei an'd to those men of whom it is true, it is most disgraceful. High wages ought in be desired by workmen, and, indeed, are by many not as a means of induling in idleness and intoxication, but for the purpose of affoiding comfoit to their families, education to children, and of accumulating property in, order to raise llu-m-selves in the scale of society.

Voiv, what will the public say when they learn the fact, that word in the above extract is false No bill has been con-flctcil no statement, of which the above professes to be a copy, been "addressed to the Directors and Guardians no document of the kind has been issued from the office of the Clerk Commissioners. The above is a fair specimen of lying wholesale. No bill, as the Guardian states in another part of aiticle, of the kind has been, up to the time of our writing, submitted to the Directors and Guardians. The Guardian says "Some explanation must be given, for the public accounts must not thus be sported with, and the integrity of all the public transactions of the town impugned by recourse to such unusual csncilicnts to meet a long-standing claim." The conductor of the Guardian had, at onetime, credit given him for possessing some nouse, but it would seem that the farther he removes from his former position the greater becomes his dc-niittire from common sense and common honesty. lie explanation which be requires is soon furnished.

Thereis neither difficulty nor mystery about the matter, except as regards one circumstance, to which we shall presently allude. The facts are as folio: The Commissioners art- indebted some 3000 to the Directors and Guardians for scavenging the ioivn. The Directors and Guardians have made repeated applications to the Commissioners for the payment of this money, and ai last a Committee of Directors and Guardians and a Committee of Commissioners were appoinieu 10 nine me maner into consideration many of the Commissioners being of opinion that they had a just claim upon the Directors and Guardians, for various alterations made for their accommodation in ihe Town Halt and various other matters. The Committees met; and upon a piece of loose paper, not addressed to any one, the above bill," as the Guardian calls it, was made out. The reader will perceive that'll is not addressed to anyone, or any body; that it is incom-pleie, and was, in fact, a mere sketch or rough draught, neither rprtrtrl and says it was "issued from the Commissioners Clerks otfice, and "addressed to the Directors ami Guardians," without anv instructions from the Commissioners." But how came this private, inchoate, paper, in the hands of the conductor of the Brighton Guardian 1 Here is the mysterious pari of the business.

The paper was borrowed from the Commi-iioners' Clerk's office, by one of the officers of the Directors and (luardians, without the least intimation that it would be put to anv use whatever. That gentleman, we feel convinced, never lianded the loose paper over to the conductor of the Hrighton Cimrilinn. Then how came it into his hands? Our impression is that it was surreptitiously taken out of the Directors and Guardians' office by some person (and we think we could name him), and given to the conductor of the Brighton Guardian, in order to furnish him with meano to attack the Commissioners Clerk. This is only one of the numerou's attacks constantly made upon that gentleman. We quite agree, however, with the Brighton Guardian IM il the Commissioners owe "the Ditecto'Vs and Guardians money thev ought to pay them for in no instance ought the Commissioners to avail themselves of Ihe funds of the poor.

The amount is to object; the principle is bad and illegal. But on the other band, if the Directors and Guardians are indebted to the Commissioners for coals, candles, oil, alterations in their rent at the Sea House Hotel, they are equally bound to pay ihe Commissioners. The Directors and Guardians have no more pght to trench upon the funds of the Commissioners than have the Commissioners to trench upon the funds of the poor But all this is a mere matter of arrangement between the to bodies, in which there can be little difficulty; but the objeel of the Brighton Guardian, and the person who supplied the ighton (imiiiliiiii with the loose paper, is to stir up strife; to throw odium and suspicion on the Cleik, hoping theieby to promote ilie success of a little knot of conspirators against the welfare of lie town. We are quite confident that the good sense of the majoiity of both the above bodies will frustrate the insidious and unmanly attempt. "THE ELECTIONS IN EASTER WEEK.

"Mr. Slight and his coadjutors, having by their selfishness Weiially damaged, if not altogether wrecked, the cause ol Jteform in this borough, are now tasting the bitter ft nils ol their own perverseness and folly. Mr. Slight and Mr. Faitiiu'm as well by themselves, in their various lamp-liht harrangues, as by toe vulgar (the Guardian talking of vulgarity) tirades they have countenanced in others, having driven the great body of respectable lloformers into retirement, the Tories abiding their lime" brought forth in the Easter week a batch of candidates in the interest of their party, all of whom have been elected to office.

'Hie fact is lamentable but it must be admitted that men of the liberal party have imbibed so strong a disgust for the preceding liken by Mr. Slight and his colleagues, that they either withdrew from the contest of the Easter week or voted for men, who, though resectable as individuals, are sUDtiortcrs of that political uariv whose misgovernment had well nigh brought this great nation ilie brink of revolution and ruin. We have now a To High Constable, three Tory Churchwardens, and four Tory Overseers, 'in which the Keform interest has to thank Mr. Slight and his party, but for whose machinations the Tory Sir David Sc-it and lis party would not have dared to offer such an insult to the ol'i-(leclatcu feeling of the town." Brighton Guardian. Hah, ha this is something like.

The conductor of the Gini'di ''Ofiins to perceive that his party in their mad fury against the iberals have committed themselves, and that Whiggery is in a Ul way. It is curious enough, that whilst Mr. Slight and Mr.G. Fa thfnll are blamed by the Guardian for the result of the elections for their interference, the liberal party are offended with them because fiey did not interfere, and attribute the resuft of the contest for Churchwardens to their non-interference. The troth is, that neither Mr.

Slight nor Mr. G. Faithful! interfered, directly or indirectly, and thus all the blame cast upon them by the Guardian joes for nothing. As is usual with the conductor of the Guardian, he never can write five lines without falsehood. In the above extract he says, we have now a Tory High Constable, three Tory Churchwardens, 1 four Tory Overseers, for which the Reform interest have to Sf Slight and his vartu." One can lltsrdly conceive how My man can have the couiage to put such glaring falshoods as tiie'se upon paper We have a Tory High Constable it is true, ftit why Because Mr.

Yeates, the late High Constable, thought proper, in a fit of spleen, to make out the leet jury list in such a way, as not only to insure the election of a Tory High Constable, hut to throw that appointment in future entirely into the hands of the Tory faction. Mr. Veates professed foimerly to be a Raclical-N'hig turned Mongrel, because unpopular; and, in revenge, he committed the perfidious act ol making out the list in the way above doseribed. The Liberal parly had no controul whatever o'er Mr. Yeates the whole was, according to law.

his own act; Md yet, forsooth, the Liberals are to be insultingly told, that our having a Tory High Constable is their fault In regard to the Churchwardens, no man could strive more Kalottsly or more honestly to elect two liberal Churchwardens (Hie third being appointed according to law by the Vicar), than did the liberal party and two liberal Churchwardens would have fen appointed, if the parly acting with and under this conductor the Guardian had not voted against them, and exerted ihem. lves to the utmost to secure the return of the Tory candidates, 'bis is ihe "fact," and it is as well known as any fact can and vet the Guardian has the consummate impudence to 'biow ihe loss of the election of Churchwardens on the Liberals, withstanding that they polled nearly double the number of bisons polled by all the Tories. Whigs, and Mongrels, united. There are also tluee Tory Overseers, appointed by the County Magistrates but what in the name of common sense have the Ucrals to do with that. For yeais past the Tory Magistrates refused to pay the least attention to any list of persons to fill the office of Overseers in vesliy.

This very year icl'uscd even to receive the deputation appointed to piesent ''tin with such a list. This very year, according to the report ol conductor of the Guardian himself, tlie Magistrates, in order to '0 that ihey would not be bound even to the list of the retiring IJverseers, actually appointed one person as Overseer whose name "as not on that list at all. The inhabitants in fact -and it is no sort of influence or control over the election of Overseers. That Ihey ought to have, no man can doubt but Abai sort of being must the conductor of the Guardian be to the appointment of these Tory Overseers upon Mr. Slight 5II the liberal party i be conductor of the Guardian next contends that one by JPr-.

The author possessed one of the finest requisites of a great writer; he addressed himself to his reader itiffim earnest and impressive manner. Whatever may be thouaht of Mr.

GodwuVs philosophy, it will be untvci-ally admitted that he presented it in a most atnacttveform. Mailing's celebrated work on Population, which first appeared in one octavo volume, was written lor 'this express purpose ol refuting the ideas of human perteetibility advocated by Mr. Godwin, by showing that from the tendency o'f'population to increase beyond food, vice was a necessary pat t-'of the economy of the world. All the errors of the book of Maltttifs may be traced, we think, to its controversial origin. Godwin attempted most walks of i.

Wigney was not present when one of the most important questions to the majority of the electors of Brighton was brought on, namely, Mr.

Diincombe's motion to abolish ihe rate-paying clauses, which would have settled ihe compound question in favour of the ten-pound voters in a twinkling, and Captain Pechell voted against Mr. Duncombc, and yet forsooth the Guardian affects to think the Gallant Captain entitled to the sincere support of the Radicals of Brighton. This is too silly to ronuirn fnilKpr notlep. In another place the Guardian must go out or the way again to attack Mr. Slight, and hopes some Commissioner will ask how manv days in (tie last month he was absent from his office? knowing when he put the question that the absence was occasioned bv his having to attend to the.

Commissioners bus ness in London." How mean are these reiterated attacks upon an individual. At the Mansion House, Saturday, the Lord Mayor said he had received a note from Mr. Handly, solicitor nf Venlonville, whose clerk (Cook) had disappeared, taking with him 8700, stating that all the money had been restored by that unfortunate person, who committed the offence in a moment of insanity. So gieat was his delusion that he actually expected, by giving up the propertv, the 500 reward offered on recovering it.
