Ms. LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 3. TUE Writs are all by this time in the hands of the Returning Officers, and next week will indicate with tolerable clearness what the New Parliament is to be like. The City of London is to open the ball on Tuesday, and will doubtless set a good ex ample to the rest of the cities and towns of the king dom. Indeed the Tories can find little sympathy in the towns—the counties are their hope. But even if the farmers should unanimously support I the Derbyite candidates at the coming election, they could not give the government a majority in the House of Commons. For the farmers are by no means unanimous in their support of Lord Waters candidates, though the term Derbyite is to be taken as synonymous with Protectionist, because many farmers have ceased to regard protection as a benefit, and—still more—whatever might be their wishes on the subject have the sense to see that the reimposition of protective laws is impossible. These men of advanced views constitute a large and influential section of the farmers, though they may not at present be the majority of their class. There is also another section of the agriculturists, whose sup port will fail the I terbyites in their day of need, and these are the men who, still desiring to reimpose a corn duty, regard the fast and loose professions--the double-faced policy—of the government as disgraceful alike to politicians and gentlemen. Lord Ostinv's hold on these men —the still lingering Protectionists —is daily becoming weaker and weaker. They na turally expected him to lead a firm and vigorous as sault on the free-trade policy, and, if unsuccessful, to be at least the forlorn hope of Protection. Instead of such a courageous course, they find the Citaxeet.soe of the Emil taie ER offering the most complete vindica tion of the free-trade policy, by a simple enumeration of its practical results, and when Lord DERBY would Boothe their feeliogs by asserting that all reference to -- agricultural distress" was properly omitted from a "financial and fiscal" speech, he tells them that his government is "a system of compromises and concessious." Cold comfort this for the Protectionist tenant farmers, who imagined their indifferent husbandry was to be bolstered up by taxing the food of the rest of the community. They know that the DEIST government swats the hopes and wants of the landowners; and what the landowners mean by a comprxinse, where politics are concerned, is suffi ciently in'elligible to the farmers. They are per fectly aware that a compromise will be a surrender of all the desires of the farmers, to attain sonic class objects of landocracy. Now, to farmers this term compromise is a moat ominous one; they meet with it in all their relations * with their landlords, and they find that it amounts to concessions on the tenants' part of their stoat important interests. Thus a farm is to r bc let, and the intending tenant stickle stoutly for sonic positive stipulation to protect him against the depredations of the game the landlord proposes / to reserve to himself, and after many ineffectual at tempts to obtain a written and binding agreement, 'he compromises the matter by accepting the verbal engazement of the landlord or his agent, that there `shall be n 4 damage done by game. Luckless and de nuded man;—he soon finds that be the damage what ,it may, his landlord never can nor will see it, and the asseverations of the gamekeepers that the game has had nothing to do with the failure of the tenants' ' crops, outweigh all the evidence to the contrary that a tenant can adduce. Again, a tenant farmer demands • improvements to be done on his farm as the condition lof er gaging to pay the rent required, but the land lord w ill make no written engagement, though holding out hopes that all the tenant wants will be done, r and the tenant compromises the matter by entering ' upon the farm, relying on the honour of the landlord to make good his implied engagements. Vain re iliance; the verbal promises of a landlord to his tenant are, in nineteen cases out of twenty, frail as ' lovers' vows—unless prices go very low, and there is , 'danger of the farm being thrown upon the landlord's iha ads. Sach and similar sompromises are only too fami liar to the farmers in their personal relations with [ the landowners, and they feel - instinctively that the compromises in their public relations with the landed jinterest will be of the same one-sided character. Already Lord DeanY and his colleag ues have ' suggested very plainly that relief to the ag riculturists 'will not be given in the form of Protection, and vague indefinite promises of some shifting of local or i peculiar burdens is to be the new trick for propiti 'sting the farmers. But the farmers are beginning to discern two points in connexion with this peculiar burden question ; first, that the rest of the commu nity will not submit to bear the burdens which are fairly and properly incident to the land; and secondly, that whatever burdens may be shifted from ,the land will go in ease of the landlord and not of the tenant. The compromises and concessions which aro "to blend the interests of all in one harmonious whole " will, if made at all, aggrandise the owners of rents, not relieve the occupiers of land ; the sacrifices will be made by industry and capital, including the .it dustry and capital engaged in cultivating land, to propitiate the - Moloch of the landed interest. The tenant-farmers know that their peculiar ques tions are unheeded by the landed legislators, who rely on agricultural aid for upholding their political !supremacy. They would rat hear the county candidates offer to vote for repealing the game lam— er for measures to secure the capital of the tenants— or to alter or abrogate the law of distress—or the 'like, than make promises of impossible Protection, and talk vaguely about peculiar burdens. Not a few of them say, " it is not so mach legislation we want se better arrangements with our landlords." They know that the ssyystem of yearly tenancies is preferred by the landkrds for the sake of retaining greater control over the land; but they are getting sick of this kind of semi-feudal dependence. !proprietors are getting more and more into debt, and the exceptions to fair and generous dealings with their tenants are every day becoming more nume rous. The farmers, moreover, see more of the world; , they go to agricultural shows—aye, even to Protec- tionist meetings—and there pick up more of that prac tical evlue,ition which men acquire by mixing with their fellows; and they begin to dislike the dependence implied in yearly tenancies ; and they know that ,more capital than formerly must be invested in the cultivation of a farm, and they require some effectiv e security for its repayment. All - these are matters which the farmers have to adjust with their landlords, the ad jostment of which landowners will stave off eel long as they can ; and both parties are aware that' all the pretensions about Protection and legislative relief to agriculture furnish so many excuses for post poning such adjustments, the necessity for which the tenants feel to be imminent. Nor do farmers forget that, while they have to make extra exertions and greater outlays to get • living profit, their landowners have had their rents more than doubled. The fact that during the last eighty years the average rent of land has risen 100 per cent —without exertion, outlay, or thought, on the part of the landlords—the price of wheat and other grain being no higher—this fact, we say, can not he overlooked by tenants, and they must feel they have been catspaws long enough. All them Way must tell against the Tories in the coming contest. It is within the memory of many of In that Kew Gardens were the only plass in England,— England so renoweed for centuries for her garden ing, —where foreign plants were Land in any va riety ; and the carnage plants in Kew Gardens, at the beginning of the century, were chiefly from New Holland. By the ocartsey which often redeems the brutalities of war, the botanists and florists of Europe maintained an alliance where all others were foes ; but though they shared one another's knowledge, they could do little in the way of exchange of plants. In the midst of the storms of the French revolu tionary war, a solitary dahlia was cherished in the greenhouse of a Nlarchioness ; and Lady HOLLAND brought more from Spain in the beginning of the Nile tury ; but the acquisition was sat tristocratiliMeireeL The China rose was another such marvel; And it was not till the sunshine o spread 4 . ime.gk the land that it took firm roKin the cottagesrger- den and began to peep pto this lattice. his vary different now. At hundreds of flower-ahem, cot- ' tagers exhibit thousands of dahlias fur more splendid than the :Marchioness of the last century dreamed of; and when CLEorAnu gave 2001. for the roses for a single feast, it is pretty certain that her expensive luxury was less brilliant than the children of many an English village could now exhibit. If Peace carries her horn of plenty, she bears also her cornu copia of beauty. M e have reason to say so; for in our islands she has shed abroad flowers from all the lands that the sun shines upon. It was not that the taste for this innocent charm was ever wanting among our people. In the most dreary days of the war, when taxes were most abunduut, and food was moat scarce, there were thousands of the poor who, hoping nothing else, hoped for the blooming of their flowers. The Spitalfields weaver fed his tulips, while he himself was hungering. Many who had nothing else had a geranium, in a bottle, in the window. We remem ber seeing, in thew dismal days, a starveling child poking with rusty scissors between the flints in a paved yard to plant a daisy. The taste was there inextinguishable, and now it seems to be finding its gratification more and snore abundantly with every added year of peace. Witness the annual increase of flower shows through the length and breadth of the land. There is, perhaps, no popular indication more cheering than this. It is an instance of the true working of natural laws which we seldom see in so unquestionable a shape. It may be always true, that the rich and the wise are eventually the servants of the poor and the ignorant ; but we da not often see this great truth so clearly illustrated. The Arabs in Spain, Louts XIV. in France, the nobles of Italy, the monks of Germany, our own BACON and EVRLIN, our dukes and peeresses, were those who sowed our cottage gardens with the flowers of all climes, and grafted fruits for our peasant children to gather. They . loitered away a good deal of their time in cul tivating echoes instead of orchards', and laying out shellwork instead of flower beds, and contriving bowers of water instead of blossoms ; but they did good permanent work too, as our flower and fruit festivals now show. The work will not stop here. Our generation will bo the servants of a future one, as the past has been of ours. The present country is working for the future town. if science has prepared the way for production, present production will pre face the way for future science. The mere accept. ance of boons of this virtuous kind is an offering of a new boon to an unborn time. To secure this, how ever, we must not make too sure of the benefit. There are instances before our eyes which show that barbarism may return upon this most innocent deve lopment of civilisation. In the country where CLEOPATRA so regaled her guests with roses, the wretched women of the Pacus's hareem know no better than to romp among the flower-beds, in the garden at Rode, and trample down the choicest plants. In Persia and Turkey, which once had more flower-wisdom and beauty than all other countries in the world, an European gardener can only break his ' heart, for want of sympathy. We must keep up the sympathy, now that it is awakened through all the ranks, if not among all the classes, of our popula r tion. But there cannot really be any fear of a de cline in a taste so refined. Meantime, how pleasant is the spectacle which our summer months present to us! There is much more than the array of beauty and fashion at Chiswick and the Regent's-pare, and the exquisite display of blooms and fruitage which they meet to criticise. It is pleasant to see the owner of Chatsworth, and the flushed boy who hugs his flower-pot, sharing the same interest. It is pleasant to think of the orderly rush of the Nottingham lace workers and stock ingers into their new a boretum, where they are to become q ualified to beer their part in future flower shows. It is pleasant to see the first humble begin ' ning of a flower and vegetable show, in a single tent, in some country town, and hear praised the ' wonderful roots and fruits, till the cottager. begin to dream of beating all England. It is pleasant to think of tho interest about the weather—hitherto the standing joke against the farmers—extending to many who have till now had but few interests at all. Thee arc many who once let cloud and sunshine pass over them unobserved, and cared for frost and drought only as they were in want of lire and water—many who grow quick and ob servant about the atmosphere and the hours, and lose their listlessness in thou: innocent solicitudes about vegetation which arc one of the charms of rural life. It is pleasant to think of the new tie estab lished between town and country, when the country people strive fur the verdict of the town, and the townspeople owe a new pleasure to their humble neighbours of the lanes and fields. It is pleasant to see how the dwellers in dim streets and narrow attics become eager about allotments, and handle the spade in the evenings instead of the pint pot. It is pleasant to see the young gaining knowledge, even science,' through the channel which overflows at the same time with health and pleasure. It is all pleasant— every aspect of the fact of the gro wth of horticulture, shown in the increasing popularity of flower-shows— from that of Chiswick and the Royal Botanical to— where is the bottom of the scale? There is an end of the scale; for there are too many places in England still where there are no popular pursuits or interests at all—still, nothing better than the public-house. There is no suitable ground for cricket the people have forgotten how to wrestle—they never hear any music—there is no theatre, good or bed—there is no reading-room. One sober youth tries to understand geometry, and another makes a little museum of mineralogy : but there is uncommon interest and no amusement out of the public-house. A stray lecturer perhaps comes, makes a few of them uneasy, and goes away where he does not see them drop back Into drink, simply from having nothing else to do. Why have these people no gardens? Ah! why? Ask the gentry why. Press the landowners for a reason why there should not be, in all their wide neighbourhood, a garden for every man who can pay rent for it, and flower-shows, the whole summer through, for all who love to look at flowers, and all who would be proud to grow them.

The news which I sent yesterday of the discovery of an infernal machine-plot, is confirmed by the Patric, which gives the following details concerning this dark business: A conspiracy against the safety of the state has just been discovered in Paris. Thirteen individuals, all having relations with the refugees in London, were arrested yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon by MM. Balestrino and Nusse, commissaries of police. Tho arrests took place in an isolated house in the Rue do la Reim Blanche, near the liarritlre de Fon tainebleau. At the moment when the pdlice agents went to the spot, the conspirators were occupied in euntufacturing out of gas pipes cannon of a calibre of from 3 to 4 inches in diameter, slightly bent at oac of the ends, and closed on that side with a band of stout tarred canvas. Ten of these tubes, each ca pable of containing a number of balls, were found completely finished. Search having been imme diately, made at the residences of the persons arrested, has, it is said, furnished proofs that the object of the conspirators was a fresh rising on the part of the demagogical party, and that this attempt at in surrection was instigated by the refugees at London and Brussels. A great number of fresh arrests were made during Uednesday night, and important papers seized. Additional warrants have been leaned by the prefect of police. The immediate discovery, adds the l'atrie " of this insensate attempt ought to re-ensure all minds and prove to the country the in telligent solicitude of • government which, instead of following the erroni of former governments, pre vents plots in order not to have to repress them. The M..niteur does not notice this story of the Patrie, which is taxed with exaggeration by the nstitutionnel, and laughed at on the Bourse. In fact, the fingering of the police in this alleged con spiracy is too patent, and the notion of stopping one end of a gas pipe with tarred cloth, in order to make a cannon out of it, smells much like the clumsily cobbled fabrications of sbirrism. The Pays gives the story pretty much in the same words as the Patrie, minus the tarpaulin. The Debate quotes the Patric. The S'oecte disdains to re peat the story, but protests against the insult to the French refugees in London. The Presee has not a word about the matter. Meanwhile I un- I intend the ass es given in the Patrie is not at pleasing eSdal quarters. In fact, the four rirMil base assess to the prefecture of police— eas• els Dikes, Constitutionnel, Patrie, and =TI bow were admonished yesterday by the tat to mention this notable discovery of the poise at ill. But the Patric, wishing in its zeal to ides ea OCC4IgOO of dealing a kick to preceding go weassusets, disregarded the injunction of M. Pietri. It is said today by those who attach more gravity to the plot, that the ramifications of complicity ex tend into the army, and that a number of non-com missioned officers wiU be cashiered in consequence of the revelations contained in documents which have been seised. The lithographic ministerial correspondence takes the Constitutionnel to task for imputing exaggeration to the Patrie in its account of the discovery of the infernal machine, and insists on the importance of the plot on account of the situation and antecedents of the persons who directed it. One of the effects, if not one of the objects, of the discovery will be to prevent the amnesty to political offenders which has been recently talked of. The President of tho Republic left the Elysee yes terday morning, escorted by a detachment of earn blames, and proceeded to the Tuileries, where he re ceived the officers of the five regiments recently' , strived in Paris. After they had been presented to him, the prince, who was in the uniform of a general of division, ad dressed them as follows : Osatimisa a —ts assigtWe different regiments which =die may imeeeed each other in the garrison of am happy W Mint that they are all animated with the ems spirit etilledpline, and with the same devotion to the ensatry.

The Umon contains a curious article by M. de Rianoey, about the state of Europe, from which it may be inferred that the legitimists are prepared to upset the treaties of 1814, and to effect a resettle ment of Europe in the interest of the catholic religion : Tendencies are manifesting themselves in the govern ments of Europe which reflecting minds cannot bo ignorant of. Wo do not certainly allude in any way to the feelings of foreign cabinets, relativeto the internal affairs of France. Our preoccupations go higher and farther. They refer to a more general movement, to an aggregate of dispositions and measures which affect at once the interests both of European and of social order. Its characters arc, as it appears to us, first, • struggle against revolution. This is evidently the present mot d'ordre of Europe, and certainly we are not among those who complain of it. Material force has done its work. The army has elrdrywheire powerfully CO operated in the preservation of order, and we have ap plauded it for doing so. But all does not depend on combats in the streets ; revolution, conquer e d e t the barricades, is not quelled in the minds, the hearts, and the desire. of many. Hero great duties commenced, and it is by ideas and by doctrines that the victory must be completed This view of the matter is unders•taxl by some; but we could wish that It were =re gmerully admitted and practised. EVENING, JULY 3, 1852. It was tot only an act of veneration and of religious Indies which the Emperor of Austria accomplished In rashering full liberty to catholicism ; it was an set of exalted policy and of excelleat government. It is, therefore, not without pain that we see Prussia manifesting hostile intentions towards the catholic,. To continue to do so would be on her part a great injustice and a serious Isidt. In the second place, Europe tends to the remmiditntion of authority. This is a grand and welds slant ;it ia medal so well as political. Authority is the flimaidation aadmipport of all human society, and happy On the nations who eau possess it in all the conditions of its Noes end duration. These two intertets—the straggle revolution end the resesistitution of authority—are Tat t preirs animist mdse. There are two others, less ✓obes, Weds ems immediate and more practical appli eatioa—the mainteitsase Ode, balance of power an Europe ; and as every system mast have a symbol, its symbol is the treaties of 181.5. Nut that the foreign governments have a particular and intrinsic affection for them; they have allowed very serious infractions to be made in them, and almost all would wish to make fresh mo difications, did not the immense difficulty of a h as remodelling deter them. As it is, Franco, who has had most to su ff er from these treaties, as they are the com mon obstacle to oppose to us, they are preserved, not as a menace, but as a barrier. floes Europe seriously think that France wishes to pass that barrier, and break what is called public European right ? We, for our part, cannot think so. But what is manifest is, that Europe, while using very cons ciliatory language, keeps herself on the reserve, and guard against any eventuality, while avoiding any aggressive pre text ; and faithful to the old axiom, Si oat pacem, rare helium, wishes for peace, by remaining featly for war. This is what France cannot conceal tram herself. A last and more delicate point remains to be mentioned—the state of European alliances. We have said that on the maintenance of the balance of power and of the treaties of 1815 the four foreign powers are agreed amongst themselves; they are, Of appear to be, in accord with France ; it is principally for the purpose of publicly showing this accord, that they de manded the signature of France to the protocol for regulat ing the affair of Neuchltel ; a protocol very unimportant in its direct and immediate action, but very significant by our accession to an act concluded in virtue and in consequence of the treaties of Vienna. The powers have private motives for drawing class to each other. The considerable services rendered by Russia to Austria established bonds of union which the visit of the esar has drawn still closer. The serious differences of opinion which had arisen between the cabinets of Berlin and of Vienna on the customs question are, it is said, about to be removed by amicable and reciprocal con cessions. England, who had for so long held out her hand in friendship to all revolutionists; who had exhausted all the resources of her policy to increase the difficulties of states of the continent, and excite discord in them ; Eng land, the only power having a liberal constitution, being no longer able to 'evoke the pretended alliance of principles, which had attached us to her for so many years; Englard, threatened with a kind of isolation, and, if we might dare to say it, of motel blockade, appears to redouble her efforts to give pledges to Europe ; and it seems clear that no implacable rancour against her is felt either at Vienna, at Berlin, or at St. Pctersburgh. In presence of such a state of things, it does not belong to us to know Of to say what France is doing. Let us, however, be al lowed one souvenir. Towards the end of the restoration, at the moment when we had just taken Algiers, "in spite of England," at the moment when the ancient royalty could make its voice respected in the councils of Europe, great projects were set on foot; and their accomplishment, wor thy the prosperity and the grandeur of our country, ap peared secure. In accord with Russia, whose interests did not clash with curs, at least in Europe, and who was re garded as our national ally, and in accord with the powers of Germany, who served as a curb on the influence of the north and of our own, the chart of Europe was to have been remodelled. The fate of the catholics of the vast em pire of Russia, and even of unfortunate Poland, was to hive been ameliorated, end guaranteed. The monarchy of St. Louis, and of Louis XIV., would have removed from the treaties of 1815 all that was cruel for the honour of France, and have repaired those diplomatic disasters as it had done the ruins of our finances, our agriculture, our commerce, and our manufactures. The storm of 1850, however, upset all these plans, and France re-entered on the revolutionary ere. The Charlemagne screw line-of-battle ship has terminated her experimental trip. The result responds to the hopes formed with respect to the simultaneous employment of sails and steam on board large vessels. The Charlemagne, which left Toulon on 28th March last, was ordered to make compa rative trials of the two systems, and to show the French flag in the different ports of the Mediter ranean, Greece, and Turkey. She put in to Smyrna, and returned to Toulon a few days ago, after having visited Algiers. Tho sailing of the vessel was most satisfactory ; with sails her average speed was from eight to nine knots an hour, and with steam from nine to ten in a dead calm. It was at first supposed that with the latter she would only go seven knots. When, in order to reach the anchorage of Palma, sib had to tack and to employ both steam and sails, her speed with a fresh breeze and little sea was from eleven to twelve knots. Doubts had been raised as to the solidity of the vessel, which, to admit of the screw, had to undergo a transformation, which might have shaken her after-pat t; but these fear have been entirely dissipated. M. Charles Laftitte, chairman of the board of directors of the Havre railway, has written to the public journals to contradict a report which has been frequently disseminated, and again within the last two or three days, of an amalgamation being about to take place between thu Havre and Rouen railway companies. No negotiation whatever, the letter states, has been entered into on the subject. The Senate met yesterday, M. Mesnard in the chair. After of the names of the members comp wing the committees on the bills lately brought up from the Legislative Body were made known, Baron de La crosse read to the house a number of local bills already agreed to by the deputies, all of which the Senate authorised to be promulgated. Some reports on peti tions having been then presented, the proceedings terminated.

ZOLLVEREIN. BERLIN, JrNT 30. The conference at Vienna with the members of the Darmstadt coalition is said to be fixed for the lath July. The Austrian government did talk, at the last conferences, about guaranteeing to the southern states, if they formed a customs' union with Austria, nine-tenths of their present income from the Zollvo- rein. But it shirked entering into a formal engage ment to that effect; and the draft C, of which fre quent mention has been made, wu never signed. The coalition at Darmstadt was formed, however, on the assumption that Austria was ready to give such guarantee. But, in answer to later inquiries, the cabinet of Vienna, said that 90 per cent. was more than it could guarantee. Perhaps it will en deavour, at the approaching conference, to get off cheaper; but it toe southern states refuse to abate their demand, Austria will hardly shun the risk of a pecuniary sacrifice ; its eagerness to supplant Prussia in the customs union with the southern states throws every other consideration into the background. At Berlin the negotiations are in a very critical position. It is still quite impossible to augur the upshot of the matter. There arc unequivocal indi cations that the temper of the Prussian nabinet, as regards the renewal of the Zollvercin, has very much changed of late. It has not only familiarise: itself with the prospect of splitting the Zollverein ; it is now inclined, with the free traders, to regard such nn issuo as the most desirable one for Prussia's inte rests. The only reason, perhaps, why Prussia does not more overtly push matters to a breach with the coalition is, that it has not a sufficiently . fast hold on Hanover. The present Hanoverian ministry ham en gaged to execute the treaty of 7th Sept., but regards it as a misfortune, not only because it subjects the Hanoverian people to a protective tariff, but also ' destroys the political support which Hanover could rely ou from great commercial states. A split in the , Zollvercin, a union with Prussia alone, is regarded I with very great apprehension at Hanover. It is feared that the kingdom might sink into a mere Prussian province ; at any rate, Hanover fears that if separated from the other minor German kingdoms, it would be less able to preserve its inde pendence, than if it kept with them. It is not impossible that, if the Darmstadt coali tionists really seem to be on the point of se ceding, the fear of being left alone with Prussia, and the influence of Austrian diplomacy may effect a change of ministry in Hanover and bring the treaty of September into Jeopardy. ITALY. PIEDMONT. The sitting of the 28th ult. of the Piedmontese Chamber of Deputies, was entirely taken up with the Civil Marriage BILL M. de Very opposed the bill, on the ground that the see of Rome had not sanc tioned the principle. M. Boncompagni, Minister of Justice, replied in a speech which elicited frequent applause. Ile observed that the question had been so long before the public, that not to decide it at present would bear an appearance of tergiversation. There were but two courses open for the government, either to bring forward the bill, or to declare that the policy inaugurated in 1850 could not carried out. The government had preferred the former, in order to show that it had not abandsadoned that policy, which had, in the midst of universal agitation every where else, proved the safeguard of Piedmont. The hon. gentleman expressed surprise that the eminent lawyer, who had preceded him at the tribune, should think Home an obstacle; and de c'ared that they were bound totreat with no power on earth in order to frame internal laws for Piedmont. The government might be desirous of being on a friendly footing with Home, but would certainly notl;consider matters, which l'iedmont alone was fuly competent to decide, a fit subject for negotiations with that power. M. lloncompagni further considered that the civil magistrates had power to celebrate marriages, since all rights arc entitltd to the protection of the laws and magistracy of the country; but he added, that the habit and customs of the country must also be respected ; them, ho thought, were af fected by the present bill. M. Menabrea, the lead ing member of the extreme right, followed, and spoke against the bill, declaring that he considered it an attack upon tho stability of the marriage tie. Several other members spoke for or against the bill, after which the discussion was adjourned to the fol lowing sitting. RUSSIA. The Presse of Vienna states that the engineer who was driving the train when the Czar and his staff, returning from Berlin, were thrown off the line, has been sentenced to banishment to Siberia. By an act of imperial clemency, the punishment has been commuted to imprisonment for a short period. THE ELECTIONS. CITY OF LONDON. Notwithstanding the meeting at the London Tavern on Wednesday Irt, and Mr. Crawford's refusal to stand, a con siderable ssction of the electors, at the head of whom are Messrs. Gilpin and Bateman, seem still anxious to have his services as representative for the city of London. The requisition room is still retained, and the two gentlemen above mentioned have advertised a public meeting fur Monday next. One of their first steps hes been to wnte to the Liberal Representative Association, requesting their co-operation, and in consequence a very full meet ing of that body was held yesterday, at their offices in Charlotte-row, which was attended by some of the leading liberals in the City. The letters of Messrs. Gilpin and Bateman underwent a lengthened conshbration, u the result of which the chairman, Mr. John Abel Smith, was instructed to send the following reply : " Liberal Registration Association, 4, Charlotte-row. Gentlemen,—With reference to the application made by Mr. Gilpin to the business committee of this association for their assistance and personal support in securing the election of Mr. Robert Wigram Crawford, I am instructed to state that alter full consideration and a conference with Mr. Crawford, this committee fully concurs in the propriety of the reasons assigned by Mr. Crawford himself, in his address and subsequent conference with us, for declining to disturb the present arrangements for the representation of the City. lam very specially instructed to add, on behalf of every member of this committee, the expression of their extreme regret that a pe.uliar concurrence of circumstances alone prevents their giving on the present occasion, to a gentleman so well quali cd to represent them, that support which otherwise it would afford them so much satisfaction to extend to him.—l have the honour to be, &e., JOHN ABEL SMITH, Chairman." The walls were placarded, yesterday morning, with the names of Messrs. Crawford and Travers, but we believe without the authority of either gentleman. It has been rumoured that, although Mr. Crawford should remain ob• &rate, two candidates are to be found to start at the eleventh hour. There is always a considerable number of " long shore " men and others anxious for some kind of contest in London, for the sake of excitement and other BIARYLEBONE. Last night a numerous and enthusiastic meeting of the electors and nun-electors of Marylebonc was held iu the Merylcbone Theatre, fur the purpose of hearing an ex position of the principles of the late members, Sir 11. Hall and Lord Dudley C. Stuart, who arc the only candidates in the field. The theatre was crowded with a large audience of both sexes and a hand occupied the place of the orchestra. A. Daniell, Esq., was in the chair. Mr. JOSEPH moved, " That the long and valuable ser vices of Sir B. Hall and Lord D. Stuart to the borough of Marylebono, and to the country at large, entitled them to the gratitude and confidence of the constituency." Mr. Di FFANGER seconded the resolution. _ Mr. HUME, who was received with loud cheers, said that though he was about to start in a few hours for Scot land, be could not refuse himself the satisfaction of coming forward, as a resident for 40 years of the borough of Mary lebone, to say that their late representatives had well and nobly performed their duty to the electors and the country during the last session of parliament (Hoar, hear.) Ile was not in the habit of flattering any one, but he felt bound to come forward to bear testimony in favour of their late representatives. (Hear, hear.) Sir B. Hall had shown great research and had undergone great labour in hunting out and exposing abuses in the church, and he had little doubt that year by year his efforts would meet with more support. (Hear, hear.) Lord Dudley Short had con stantly put himself forward as the friend of oppressed natienalties ' and as the friend of humanity, in every quarter of the world, and as such he well deserved the thanks of the people of England, and the confidence of the electors of Marylebone. (Cheers.) He was wee glad to find that their late representatives were to be returned free of expense, and he hoped their example would be followed all over the country. (Hear, hear.) He was sorry that he could not be here to support his hon. friends, because he had to look after his own business elsewhere—(laughter)—but he would leave them his hearty good wishes. (Ilear, hear.) Mr. WEBB proposed as an amendment to the resolution that no candidate who would not promise to protect the working classes front unlimited competition, was entitled to the confidence of the operatives of Marylebone. (Oh.) The amendment not finding a seconder fell to the ground. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. MITCHELL proposed the next resolution, pledging the meeting to use their exertions to secure the return of the two candidates. Mr. WHlTMORE•econded the resolution. Mr. YOUNG raid that he had opposed both candidates at the last election, but they had so much improved in his estimation that he would do everything to secure their re turn on the present occasion. (Rear, hear.) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. McDOUGAL wished to know from the candidates whether they were in favour of • system of general direct taxation, and a general system of tree trade: also whether they were in favour of a reform of the legal system, and whether they would support a complete alteration of the present poor kw, particularly as respected the law of settlement. _ _ . Lord D. STUART then came forward and was received with great enthusiasm. lie appearedjbefore theta to solicit a renewal of their sulfreges on the present occasion—not as he did flue years ago, unknown and untried, but after a five years' trial and experience. (Hear, hear.) Ile now asked if he had not well and faithfully served them i (Cheers.) He had been retnrned by a large majority, and, without giving any pledges, he had stated his principles and professions. He now boldly asked them if he had not kept to his professions and adhered to his principles (Cheers.) lie would go further, and boldly Ply that he had been better than his word. (Cheers.) lie bad entered public life as a reformer, 20 years ago; he helped to over throw the government of the Duke of Wellington, and assisted to carry the Reform Bill, which, imperfect as it was, was a great improvement on the former syetem, for it extended the right, and privileges of the people. (Cheers.) lle was inclined to give L o rd J.ltussell all the merit that was due to hint fur all that lie did. Mind, he said for all that he did "—;hear, heat)—because there 1V.14$ a great deal that he proposed which ho could not assent to, and ho asked theta if ho had not kept his word, and opposed the whig government, when they did not go as far as he wished. (Hear.) Ile war not Or finality, but for !'regrew. (Hear, hear) lie thought that there was too much taxa tion un the country, and that it did not press en the shoulders that ought to bear it. (Hein.) He wawa help to make that taxation fall un those shoulders. (Hear, hear) Ile was in favour of dirty taxation, and univenal free trade. (Cheers.) That was his ansiver to the gentlemen who put the question to bin,. Ile was in layout of financi.l reform,' that was to say, of less taxation, and that lie believed could only be brought about by a reform in par. liament. (Hear, hear.) It had been said that he never gave a direct vote in favour of thu chant r. That wee true ' You ought then.") Well, he would not be mean enough to accept praise fur that which he had not dune. (Hear.) But though he had not given a direct vote for the charter, he had gone a great way towards it, for be voted f or Mr; Hume's motion, which involved • great extension of the suffrage, vote by ballot, triennial parliaments, and the abolition of the property qualification. (lieu, hear.) The only qualification which he recognised was the fall free, and fair choice of the people. (Hear, bear.) Ile was also in favour oft fairer distribution of eleetoral districts, for nothing could be more absent than to have the voice of the electors of Marylebono :untied by that of some noutinea borough consisting of a law hundred electors. (ii income tax.") Ile was reminded of the income tax, lye was not in favour of an ineome tax, hut he would support a property tax. (Cheers.) Ile was for a reform of the law and for a codification of the laws of Eugland as far as was practicable. (Hear, hear.) In connexion with subject he was glad that he took a principal part in the also. lition of the palace court and in extenihug the jurisdiction of the county courts, fur he felt that one of the pr, afa,t blessing, which u community could enjoy was that of a cheap admitaistratiam of justice. (Hear, hear.) Hie hoe. friend Mr. Hume had alluded to his exertions in the case of foreign nations which were trampled on by despots oat tyrants. He knew that his first care ought to be his Own country ; bat be did not think it would injure him in the opinion of the people of Marylebone, that he extended his sympathy to t he oppreseed of other countries anal endeavoured to enlist the moral support of England in favour of right and justice. (Hear, loam) Ile di.) not wish to embroil this nation with any other, for he was a friend of universal peace. (blear, hear.) He was glad that they stood on a friendly footing with a neighbouring eouotry, though it was well known he did not approve of all that had taken Veer there. Ile might ili.pute the taste of the pe .plc of ranee, but the people of England had no business to inter fere with the system of government estahlislied elsewhere. (Hear, hear.) What he found fault with, and what he wished the people of England to find fault with, was the oppression of nationalities and the overthrow of c institu tions, like those of Poland and Hungary, by the despots of Russia and Austria. (Cheer.) Let courts and aristocrats reserve their sympathies fir hinge and courtiers, hut ho trusted the people of England would show their sympathy, as they had always shown their sympathy, for those who represented the popular side in foreign countries, a• was the case with Kosvutb. (Cheers.) But to leave foreign politics, and to come home. They were aware that the late government had fallen to pieces like a house of cards when its main stay and cornerstone was withdrawn in the ;ar son of Lord Palmerston. (Cheers.) The present cabinet succeeded under the Earl of Derby anal Mr. Disraeli. Mr. Disraeli was well known by his writings, and nu pirboa could adeny his abilities or those of Lord Derby. Ile had no fault to find with them, except that they had no principles. (Cheers anal laughter.) Mr. Disraeli ought to be known to the elector. of Mandeb-eta for he at one time sought their suffrages as a friend to vote by ballot and triennial parliaments. (Hear, hear.) But he had forgot these principle, 'mow, although it was dittleet to discover what principli a had succeeded in his mind. (Hear, hear) The noble lord then referred to the conduct of the present foreign secretary, anal .aid that his behaviour in the case of Mr. Mather was characteriss d by a degree of meanness which, he was sure, would be reprobated all over the country. (Cheers.) Ile would now give place to his hon. friend, full of prido at the renewal of their confidence and at the prospect of being soon returned u their repro- sentative in the next parliament. (Cheers.) They meat get one more able and talented to represent them, hut he was sure they would bud none more honest, more realeua, wad more laborious. (Cheers.) Sir B. HALL next presented himself anil was received with most hearty applause. lie must, is the first place, express his thanks for the resolutions which had ken jolt pawed—the one approving of his past conduct, and the abr.' giving him au assurance of their future i•upport. (Hear, hear.) This was not the heat time he appeared ea the tweeds of the Marylebone Theatre, (Loud cheers.) On the last occasion he bore lei. part in a mutest in which, by their favour and exertions, he was successful. Now, however, there was no appearance of a contest, and they were met together like the happy family. (Cheers.) We agreed with his noble friend who preceded him in his views of foreign affairs. lie would not follow him upon that subject, but would confine himself to domestic subjects. And, first, with regard to the vote by ballot. The only arguments against the ballot were that it was un.Enelish, and that it would deprive property of its fair and legiti mate influence. The former argument was a mere sham ; and, with regard to the latter, he denied that property would hoe its just influence. Property, if justly used, would always have its fair influence. But the influence which the vote by ballot would destroy was the illeei•imate influence of property. They had been told that the leaders of the church eataht to be meek and lowly, and so they ought. Yet he could name one of the bench of bishops wee had a larger income than the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, and the Chief Baron of the Exchequer put together, with palaces and re sidences besides. (Hear, hear.) Was this a state of chines that ought to he continued i (Hear, hear.) The haa. baronet then referred to several cases of ecclesiastical cor ruption, and in particular to the ease of the registrar of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury who had pocket eal by that and other offices which he held In the clearch for 48 years no less a sum than 661,4001. (Loud cries of "Shame.") The patent of this individual was thus headed, "To all the faithful in Christ to whom these pre sents shall come." (Hear, hear.) Why this was nothing less than a mockery and blasphemy. lie woold en deavour to sift out and eradicate what was bad. pre serve the constitution of England, and thereby promote the safety and prosperity ot the people. (Cheers.) A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proved inga, which lasted till 11 o'clock. WESTMINSTER. Last night an enthusiastic and very crowded meeting of the elector. of Westminster WWI held la the Cry). tel Ilan, St. hlartin's-lane; Mr. Wallace in the chair: Ii consider the propriety of adopting measures to secure the return of Sir De Lacy Evans and Sir John Villiers Shs:le! at the ensuing election. The hun. candidates attended, and ' on their appearance were loudly cheered. The CliAtiotAN, after a few pertinent remarks upon the duties of electors and the ohligatiens of repnsentatives, called upon the candidates to address the meeting. Sir DE LACY EVANS, who was heartily cheered, craved the indulgence of the electors, because, as as old member, he hail many conflicting opinions and interests to encounter, and therefore had more onerous respon sibilities than those candidates who never had been in parliament, and could draw upon their imagination without limit as to their future conduct. (Hear, hear.) He was most anxious to render an account of his steward• ship, for he belonged to no party, whig, tory, or ;wheal. (Cheers.) Representatives had local interests to watch, and public duties to perform. But for the last 20 yeas , all the local duties of the city of Westminster devolved upon him, for Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Leader directed their talents more to a public display in the house (and which they did most efficiently) than to the attention of the minute business of their constituents. As a proof of the heavy duties which he discharged, he would mention that during the last twelve months he obtains d for the piridi of St. James a transfer front the crown estate of the right of paving and lighting the district. He prevented the erection of a new barrack in Pimlico. lie also prevented Leicester square being blocked lip by the monster globe building. He endeavoured to prevent the perpetuation of the New roof : law Bill. Ile sought to obtain the benefit of flobliouse I Act for the parishes of St. John, St. Margaret, and St. Giles, Bloomsbury, and thus prevent a few irresponi.ibles having the disposal of 100,0001. a year. (Hear, hear.) He protected the bakers against the protectionists, and advs. cated the cause of the butchers. He endeavoured to ob tain redress for the coachtualiers, and restored the surgeons of the army and navy to their position. (Hear, hear.) Ho struggled hard for a repeal of the law of patente. (lieu, hear.) Ile struggled to have inserted in the Burial II:11 a clause freeing parishes from the unnecessary expanse of chapels belonging to burial-grounds which the be.. abo lished. Ho conferred a great benefit upon stationer , as ts• gaveled stamps, said enabled the poor to obtain divorces without the outlay of a shilling. (Cheers.) lie Glught with other reformers until they obtained the repeal of the window-tax—(hear, hear)—and by the abolition of rotten boroughs, added 100,000 electors to the con stituencies. (Cheers.) Ile opposed the Militia Bill, because it involved a heavy expense, which could be avoided by recalling from the colonies 49,000 men who were unnecessarily kept in them for their def. nee (Hear, hear.) As regarded the Maynooth grant, he would ever oppose the expenditure of the public money fot that or any other object that was not of a secular chanter. (Cheers.) But it was a paltry election clap-trap to sr.e.i's of Maynooth, while the Irish natioit was called upon to p ty a million a year for the support of the religion of one-teath of the population. (Cheers.) After a few comments upon the royal speech, Sir De Lacy Evans concluded with a so:clan assurance to the electors, that if they sent him into p vbs. nicnt, lie would be ever at his post, to discharge the high and solemn duties which, as their representative, he would most willingly and heartily undertake. (Loud cheers.) —• • ' - - Sir JOHN VILLIERS SHELLEY declared himself 2 free-trader and a radical reformer, fully resolved to can', out the principles of parliamentary reform enunciated .ind proposed by Mr. itseph Hume. (Cheers.) Ile regc that Mr. Coningham had disseminated dissension: ;mimed. the ranks of reformers, by appearing in the field at so late an hour, and ridiculed the idea of so thorough a tory assess Lord Maidstone seeking the suffrages of the Westnii , ler electors. (Hear, hear.) Ile was opposed to the M iynooth c al's: ve t , h the ( Je h g e i e u rs ni ) do i n f um wtu a r a n d vd , i; ,e ple w t o li ti o l r t i t e h• w i ca i t y h n e r f h t a ll his principles in the House of Commons, fit he would thee be standing to the principles of the majority of his coast ,- tuents who returned him. (Cheers.) Mr. SAUNDERS moved, and Mr, p o u N esty resolution declaring Sir Dc Lacy Evans and SirJohnVillitts Shelley lit and proper representatives for the city of West minster; which was carried.
