IN the House of Lords yesterday, the Poor Relief Supervision (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed.—The Marquis of Lem:roots is having moved the third reading of the Poor-law Administration Bill, Lord BROUGHAM moved that it be read a third time that day six months ; stating as his grounds for so doing the objection he entertained to the manner in which it was proposed to pay the chief officer, and in consequence of no provision being made for Mr. Chad wick or Mr. Nicholls, both of whom were to be left entirely without employment and without compensa tion, after a period of sixteen years' service. Mr. Chadwick's Moors had not been limited to the duties of his office as secretary to the poor-law commis sion, his exertions on the subject of sanitary reform having led to the production of the Health of Towns Bill, which measure, if it had passed, and for which the noble and learned lord said he should have voted even though the City of London was excluded from its operation, would have furnished the means for continuing Mr. Chadwick in the public service. The Bishop of LONDON and the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH expressed . in strong terms the high sense they entertained of Mr. Chad wick's services, considering that it would be en act of great injustice if he were not again em ployed in the public service.—The Marquis of LANS DOWNE said the Poor-law Act was so framed, that the commissioners and secretary had no claim whatever to retiring pensions, and they had accepted their Aces on the unthrstanding that the measure was of a temporary character, which parliament might or night not continue. He admitted, however, tt the abilities of the gentlemen referred to, and their general conduct, gave each of them a claim which aught tobe acknowledged for other employment—After some further discussion their lordships divided, when the third reading of the bill was carried by a majority of 32 to 10. _ _ _ _ In the House of Commons, Lord J. Rusanu., in answer to Mr. HORSMAN, stated, that the Rev. Mr. Bowers, who had been appointed Dean of Manchester, would relinquish the living of St. Pad's, Covent garden, as soon as the Duke of Bedford had nomi nated his successor, if not before.—Mr. T. DUN CONDE complained that letters addressed to the fishing-stations on the coast of the counties of Ross, Sutherland, and Caithness, were detained at Inverness for seventeen hours daily. The CHANCELLOR of the LICHEGITER relied that, undoubtedly, the parties in question had just ground of complaint, the evil arising from the acceleration of the north and south mails by railways, these letters having to go by a aces mail ; bat as soon as the necessary arrangements could be made, the delay to which they were now subject would be obviated.—Lord GEORGE BENTINCK drew the attention of the house to an alleged infrac tion by the Dutch government of the treaty of com merce of 1824, wishing to know whether any re monstrance bad been made to the government of the Netherlands, and whether there was any pro spect of redress being afforded. Lord PALMERSTON entered into an explanation of the circumstances re ferred to, which :were under investigation, and the sub ject of communication between the two countries, ex- Teeming hisbelief that the result would be an arrange ment equally satisfactory to both.—ln answer to Sir Iscus the noble lord also entered into a statement relative to the treatment of British protestants in Madeira, particularly as regarded the case of BALLET.—The question of the committal of the Bjeh?pric of Manchester Bill having been proposed, D lr. HUME moved that the committee be . postponed until that day week. A protracted diocusamon ensued, at the termination of which the house divided, when the Original question was carried by a majority of 138 1° , 2 °. ---0 11 the question that the Speaker do leave the fir, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved the adjournment of lie debate until this day, in terms which called for the intervention of the Speaker, the motion, after some explanatory observations from Lord J. RUSSELL, Ong agreed to. IT is now generally understood that the Committee of the House of Commons en the Navigation Laws IQ merely report the minutes of evidence taken, without offering any opinion of their own. Perhaps, at the close of a session and parliament, this is the best course they could adopt. In their minutes will be found statements of the views entertained by prac tical men of the working of these laws by the parties themselves—by friends as well as by opponents of the laws, by British merchants and foreigners, by repre sentatives of our foreign and of our colonial traders, and by diplomatists and officers in the executive de partments of government. The terms of the intimation given by the Chevalier BONSEN, in behalf of Prussia and the Zollverein, that the treaty of 1811 is to cease from the lst of January, 1848, to which we drew attention on Wed nesday, will ensure to this important compendium of practical opinions, a more impartial and careful study on the part of our merchants and shipowners, than in other circumstances it might have received at their hands We again repeat the import of these words, so full of meaning. " The nomination of a parliamentary committee," says M. BUNSEN, " to examine the English naviga tion laws, and to report daring the present session of parliament thereupon, has held out to the Prussian government a hope that Great Britain will, at no remote period, by means of a general legislative measure, cause the restrictions to disappear which at present weigh upon German navigation and com merce, and which so notoriously impede the develop. ment of the commercial relations of the two coun tries." Upon this ground, and upon this ground alone, the Prussian minister proposes an arrange ment by which " everything which could even for a brief space of time retard a development so much to be wished for by both countries" may be avoided. As the basis of this arrangement, it is suggested that the treaty of 1821, as a general treaty of reciprocity, remain the recognised basis of relations, and that "the existing status quo by means of diplomatic declaration, be de facto maintained, and departmeutal orders issued for that purpose to the respective authorities in order to afford the high contracting parties the opportunity of coming to an understanding with respect to an application of the principle of recipro city as perfect and extended as possible." Lord PAL MERSTON has declared that her Majesty's government are ready to assent to this proposal. Upon such a revision, therefore, of our navigation laws as shall at the least bring them into a form and pressure less liable than at present to give umbrage to Prussia and the Zollverein, depends the permanence and extension of our liberal and mutually amicable commercial relations with Prussia—we may say with the Baltic. Our merchant*, manufacturers, and shipowners, must make their choice now between concession in regard to the strictness of our navigation laws or a war of restrictive reprisals alike injurious to both parties. This is no reason for panic or precipi tate surrender ; but it is a validreason for deliberately examining what we gain, or whether we gain anything, by these laws. An elaborate table, published as an addendum to the Sound List, and presenting a classified list of the vessels passing Elsinore to and from British and Baltic ports during the half-year ended 30th June, 1846, es tablishes an instructive fact illustrative of the working of the navigation laws and the corresponding restric tive legislation of other countries. The number of ships that passed Elsinore between British and Baltic ports daring the half-year was 3,869. Of these 2,159 were British and 1,710 foreign vessels. Of the 2,159 British, no less than 664 cleared out in ballast from British ports alone; the number of foreign vessels in ballast between British and Baltic ports is not stated, but it could scarcely be less considerable, for no less than 4,010 of them are noted to have named Elsinore in ballast between Baltic ports and all parts of the world in the course of the half year. On looking narrowly into the characters of the cargoes, we find that the proportional number of British or foreign vessels employed depends upon the national er har bour regulations affecting the vessels employed in carrying them. The favour given to British vessels in British ports renders them more eli gible for certain classes of cargo in certain directions, and the counteracting favours shown to the vessels of other countries in their respective harbours has a similar effect. To this is owing the great num ber that sail in ballast: discriminating duties make it sometimes more economical to pay a higher freight to a vessel carrying cargo only in one direction, than the more moderate freight that would remunerate the owners of a vessel carrying both out and home cargoes. If foreign and home vessels were placed on an equal footing in respect of customs and harbour dues in all ports, the Baltic trade would not be in the anomalous condition that nearly half the vessels engaged in it carry cargo only one way. Ship owners and char terers but for the disturbing influence of dieeriminat ing duties would find it more remunerative by lower ing their rates to ensure both out and return cargoes. At present nearly one-third more vessels are used than would be necessary if they carried cargoes both ways ; and the rates of freight are raised to make the voyage with cargo pay both its expenses and those of the voyage in ballast. The loss occasioned by such arrangements to the merchants of all countries concerned is obvious; nor are even the shipowners gainers by this prepos terous policy. The increased cost of goods consequent upon the increased expense of carriage checks trade. There are fewer cargoes to carry. Reduced prices of goods would soon multiply the number of cargoes to be transported ; the vessels which now obtain cargoes only in one direction would have them both and home; and their owners would gain more by moderate freights for both voyages than' from higher for one oaly. There would be ample employment not only for all the British and foreign ships already existing, but for increased numbers. The greater capital and skill of Great Britain would render the multiplication of its ships more easy than that of the vessels of less wealthy nations would prove. And the alleged greater expense of navigating British ships will be found to be owing entirely to our own local and general legislation. The Navigation , 1 Act compels owners to employ a greater number of sailors than is neceerry. The regulations of the port of London compel them to employ the aid of Londoners in loading and unloading, w h ile their own seamen are getting into all sorts of scrapes to escape the ennui of idleness. The Trinity Board taxes British vessels enormously for lighting and buoyage, very inadequately performed. The extra expenses of British navigation are to be diminished by removing unjust imposts and arbitrary restrictions, not compen sated by navigation laws which cramp our trade and manufactures by increasing the cost of carriage. Tea great questions connected with our law of bankruptcy and insolvency are not even touched in' the measure on which the house went into committee on Tuesday. The act in question is a purely admi • • motility's one. It does little more than formally abolish certain offices which have already in practice abolished themselves. Moreover, it undoes certain useless doings of recent legislation. It does away with a court which a very few years' working has proved utterly unnecessary, and merges the circuit business of the insolvency commissioners in the local courts established by the late act. It is one of the measures which may be allowed to paw at the farend of the session. There is nothing in it that twilight can hide. Its objects are purely distinctive and transferential. It creates nothing. The suspicion that it is a job is the most baseless that can be imagined. One of the Vice-Chancellors now does the duties of a court of review. The bill proposes to abolish this mere name of a court, and confer on the Vice-Chancellor de jure the jurisdiction he now exercises deforto. tesides a court of review, with • staff of judges, which has been found useless , recent in s olvency legislation has given us tra velling oommismoners who make their circuit/ without finding any insolvents to deal upon. Mr. Law is represented as wandering about for six weeks without bagging a single insolvent. Mr. PHILIPPS takes a circuit of 280 miles with the same miserable result. The no-business of these gentlemen is to be transferred to the new county courts. This is the feature of the bill which deserves most notice. It is the beginning of the end, the first step in a pro gress which is destined to carry us farther than most people have yet Sentured to anticipate. It is the first I grasp of the cheap courts on a new jurisdiction. Who Shall say how much they may &bomb, before their full powers are developed, or their latent advantages fairly called into play ? Already the operation of these courts is felt on the circuits, and among the profession. Among members of the bar there is a prevalent and growing im pression that much of the contract business of the country is destined to flow into these courts. To their credit be it spoken, this anticipation is not accom panied withlaments over curtailed cause lists and fad- m ExpßEsB, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1847. ing fees. The sense of aiding to carry en an exorbitantly expensive legal system is not a plea sant one for cultivated and conscientious men. Not only the bar, but the respectable portion of the other branch of the profession, are, we sincerely be lieve, rejoiced at the greet step which has been taken in the foundation of the county courts. That their jurisdiction must gradually extend is a truth apparent to all lawyers. But it is important that this extension should take place gradually. As it is, in the larger towns of England, it is found that the judge of the county court, instead of a pleasant day's work once a month, from ten till four, he. his two or four days' sittings weekly, often extending late into the night. It would almost appear that with the present limited jurisdiction there is full employment for the courts which already exist. The subject of fees is one which must never be lost sight of, when conntyoourts are discussed. The fee eye tem has been the monster grievance of the superior courts both of law and equity. The world knows little of the extent of this mischief. The committee now sittingon the subject will probably bring to light some startling revelations of mighty evils growing up in the higher courts, in this particular, from the slenderest and slightest roots. It behoves the government to guard against such a seed being sown in the county courts. There are premonitory symptoms of the disorder already. While the officials of these courts continue to be paid by fees, these symptoms will go on to more aggravated forms. A few years' delay may serve to root the malady so firmly, that nothing short of the knife of a thorough reform can relieve the suffering system. All who have interest in the new cowls as suitors, as well as all in authority, should carefully watch the workiegs of the fee system. Every instance of ex tortion, or multiplication of these tolls on the road to justice, should be brought to light,_ commented on, and punished. But, above all, the experiment of payment by fees should be continued no longer than is sufficient to approximate to a determination of salaries. When it is once ascertained with tolerable certainty what are the labours of a court and the average amount of the fees received, the remunera tion of the officers should come directly from the treasury, into which the proper functionary should be bound to pay over all court receipts. The value of these courts depends mainly on their cheapness, and on that despatch which alone renders cheapness possible. Payment by fees is a tonne on delay, and leads surely to the interposition of use less forms between plaint entered and judgment given. It is the indirect effect of these delays, far more than the actual expense of them, which makes it so important a duty for all in authority to exclude them as much as possible from the new courts. It is the prospect of extended jurisdiction for these courts which makes it peculiarly necessary to them against the invasion of that very evil which guard ae done its best to render justice inaccessible through Westminster Hall or Lincoln's Inn. Or all the absurdities which grow out of tho pro tection system, one of the most transparent is that which is called a " wool fair." This is the sort of thing. The farmers assemble on a certain day with a small sample of their wool and a few of the wool dealers of the district meet them at • dinner, over which some squire—usually a flaming "farmers' friend" presides, and the president is supported by other landowners. After drinking "success to agriculture," "the county members"— sly fellows who are commonly at the bottom of these meetings—" the wool buyers," and so forth, the chair man proceeds to what he facetiously calls " business." He calls upon some one to offer his wool for sale, and perhaps says that he has so many "down hogget wools," a certain number of " Norfolk ewe fleeces," so much " half-bred tegs," or " pure Leicester hoggeta," and so on, which for the good of the agricultural in terest, and to uphold the wool fair, he is ready there and then to sell at 2d. per pound above the market price of the day. Of course the wool dealers, who are men of business, shake their heads and say nay. I Then right and left the farmers enumerate their fleeces, and ask for biddings from the dealers, who naturally take care to make their offers on the safe aide for an article they have not seen. Most of them, however, know their men, having perhaps bought the wool of particular farmers yearafter year,and thus occasionally a bargain is announced to have been made at just the same price the farmer might and would have had upon hie own farm from the same customer. Great, then, is the exultation of the squire chairman and his acred supporters ; many are the speeches made in glorification of the squires, and for the magnification of their influence, whereby it is proved, by most equirearchal logic, that the sale of 250 fleeces of "down hogget wool," jest then effected by Farmer JOBSON, at the market price, has been happily brought about by the special interposition of the "farmers' friend." We know nothing like this in the real business of life, except the manner in which the wild Welsh ponies brought to the fairs near London by drovers and dealers far more wild than the ponies are sold. When a pony has been selected from the drove, and sold at two-thirds of the price fast asked, and less than the wild Welshman protests it cost him in Wales, the drovers throw up their hats and their hands with exultant shouts of "Sold ! sold again sold again, and got the money!" We hive never been able to get over the feeling that we have been taken in by these gentry in what, bat for such ex ultations, would appear to have been a very harmless bargain. And, from all we hear, the dealers at these wool-fain cannot at times resist a similar impression, when they hear the self-laudations of the squire. This method of selling wool is simply that of a Hatch auction, where the commodity is offered at a high price, which the seller gradually reduces till he gets low enough to induce some one to buy. Had such a mode of effecting the sale of wool been found advantageous to the growers and dealers, they would have adopted it, just as sheep, horse, and cattle fairs are held, not after dinner, and under the presidency of a rent-loving landlord, but as an ordinary business arrangement But in fact the sales effected at these wool fairs are merely nominal , and are just such as would have been made in the farmer's own yard, or at the ordinary market table. Wool is a bulky article, which cannot be conveniently brought to a fair, and consequently will never naturally be disposed of in that way. So far from the grower being benefited by a wool fair, he is more likely to suffer, for the commodity not being under the inspection of the purchaser at the time of sale, he will take are no is regulate his offer as to protect himself against the bulk proving worse than the sample. This is illustrated by what occurs in the sale of wheat, for which a better price is always obtained in a pitched market, where the buyer can see a whole sack, than in a sample market, where the seller pulls his little bag out of his breeches pocket. The theory of a wool fair is precisely that of pro tection—namely, that an English farmer cannot con duct his own burliness, in his own way, so well as when he is patronised, dandled, and protected by the land-owning class. Now the very reverse of this is the truth. Wherever landlords, individually or col , lectively, interfere with the business of the farmer, they do him disservice. So its in the wool fair scheme; farmers are in duoed to suppose that, by a kind of combination with their landlords, they can put a pressure upon the wool dealers, and compel them to give higher prices at • public table than the?' would give elsewhere, and they neglect that self-reliance and individual action by I which those who have anything to dispose of will beet promote their own interests. At all events, wool fairs, as matters of business, are simply useless, and, like protection societies, local agricultural meetings and the like, will soon be numbered amongst the obsolete contrivances of the protective system. It is, however, of essential service to English hus bandry, to set these nonsensical affairs in their true light, for one of the greatest evils under which our farmers have laboured has been the misdirection of their attention. They have too often followed shadows instead of boldly facing the difficulties of their position. .With this object, a few incidental notion of the proceedings at recent wool fairs will not be useless. Eases has lately been often the some of this kind of tomfoolery; and one occurred the other day at Col cheater. Mr. Rearm said that himself and some other gentlemen had put down their names as willing to bring their wool, and had brought it. The farmers, however, seem to have been but little in fluenced by the example of the squires : for a wool buyer from London said, "the growers could not ex pect to sell, as they had not given any strong= a fair chance of purchasing. It was impossible kr a strange buyer to tell to whom the wools belonged, at the real value of them, as the bulks were not invoke into the fair." Does not this plainly show ths otter absurdity of the system ? unless wool is actually brought to the fair, it becomes a mere farce ; and ex perience has taught farmers that they can obtain quite as I vod tr ices at home. Again, Bir JOHN TYRRELL mai , " e wool buyers preferred purchasing the wool privately, in order that their friends in the north might not be in the secret as to the prices the wool cost." And that remark is a key to the erroneous notions under which landowners labour in matters of trade. The prices of wool in Essex, and elsewhere in the south, are no secrets to the manufac turers of the north, whether the wool be bought pub licly or privately; but the prices they are willing to give the dealers who boy from the growers, depend entirely upon the state of trade. They know that the dealers, who buy up comparatively small quantities and resell in the mass, must have a profit, and they have far more accurate information of the growers' prices than they can derive from the babble of as wool fair dinner. Mr. Unwm, a buyer at Colchester, put this rightly when he said "not only in this country, but in every country in Europe, the labouring classes had so much to pay for food, that they had nothing to spare for clothing ; they, therefore, must not alma to sell their wool at such high prices as last year." So far as we can learn from the report, the only person who sold any wool was Mr. REBOW, for which • buyer offered a certain price " because he knew it had been well washed and cleaned;" and which Mr. Renow accepted, "because he was anxious to pro mote the wool fair, though the buyer had not come exactly up to the mark." Then came more toasting. of first buyer andfirsteeller,which gave Mr. REBOW—a candidate for the county—the opportunity of saying that he always felt the greatest pleasure in attending these meetings, "because they kept together those links of society which tended to the prosperity of the country." Afterwards, when Mr. Horns, a good and practical farmer, spoke, he said— He was sorry to find there was so little business dons in the wool sales that day ; he had done all be could for the wool fair, for his object was, to bring the buyers togetheri let them see the wools. He regretted to find so little ear petition for the premiums be had offered, but he hoped whoever was the successful competitor for his cup would be deserving of it. lie then attempted to turn the attention of the meeting to " tenant right," and other questions in which farmers take a real interest ; and he made the following statement relating to the game on Mr. ATTWOOD'S estate : That no less than 200 hares ani rabbits were annually killed by the Eastern Counties steam-engines in the vicinity of Mr. Attwood's preserves alone; and that the expense to this aunty in prosecuting poachers was 3001. ; and if that was the case (added Mr. Hobbs), there was little doubt that the cost of maintaining the families of such offend,» while in prison would swell that item to at least 1,0001. This line of remark, however, caused some grumbling from the chairman, who said, " that they would act more wisely in keeping to the business of the day ;" and the squires soon after departed. If farmers and wool buters do find wool fairs conve , nient for their traffic, let them be established in a rea- I sensible business-like manner ; but if farmers mean to take their right position as men of enterprise, they must give no countenance to such farcical meetings. The following appeared in our second edition last evening: We have received Paris letters and journals of Wednesday. The excitement produced in Paris by the affair before the Chamber of Peers, and its painful cata strophe, has been followed by a calm. The court did not give its judgment on Tuesday evening, nor was it likely that it would do so earlier than to-day (Wed nesday.) Its deliberations were conducted with closed doors, nor will anything farther be public until the judgment shall be pronounced.

L' Union Monarchique has the following : The sudden and unexpected visit that Leopold of Bel gium has just paid Paris, has given rise to a report which we repeat, without answering for its exactness, though we have certainly many reasons to believe it to be perfe ctl y conform able to truth. It would sees that, worn-out with the isms rant embarrassments cared by the internal administration of his states, Leopold thought it Incumbent on him to speak, during his late visit to London, on this subject to the Eng lish ministry, to whom he declared his positive intentions of abdicating immediately in favour of the young prince his son. The English ministry, as can be easily behaved, op posed this project with the greeted energy, as the first result of an abdication would be to place the regency in the bands of the mother of the young prince, that is to say a princess of the house of Orleans. During the latter part of his stay at London, Leopold seems to have yielded to the objections offered by the British cabinet, but scarcely had he returned to Brussels than he found himself again assailed by the cares of government. For some days, it was easy for every per son who approached the kiag to read the greatest sad ness imprinted on hie' physiognomy. It was in these eirmunstenees that Leopold determined upon his jour ney to Paris, the motive of which was to fix, in concert with hislietheirds.law, the basis of a law of regency to the bunk of the @Wet daughter of Louis Philippe.

BlLADValta.—Oa Wednesday evening • very numerous meeting of the electus of Bradford was held, for the purpose of hearing Mr. Busked explain his views. He was loudly applauded on rising, sad at various periods of his address. He referred to several posses m his political eareer during the ten years that he had. represented the borough, and argued that though he hot always endeavoured to avoid giving pledger, he had acted upp to the general principles which he had peehsed, and had more -1 over considered it his duty to vote aoteeding to the general opinions of him condiments. The hoc. gentleman adverted to his votes in support ot flew trade, rail melon the Factory Bill; and en the subject of education said that his wish was that all the education that could possibly, by any means, be afforded tie all the people should he afforded, but so far as he could prevent it, there should not be required, in affording that instruction, any test that should interfere to prevent the extension of learning thsessghout the c He would have it made as secular as pouible, as he thought t it would be better to have it so than mixed with religion. The Rev. Dr. Godwin then put sundry questions so Mr. Busfeild, as to whether he would oppose the transfer of the property of the Irish church for the endowment of the Ronan catholic priesthood, as well as oppose any new grants for that purpose ; and also whether he would oppose the continuance of the grant of 100,0001. a year for educational purposes, or merely that he would oppose any addition to that sum, as upon those points he thought hie published address was not suf ficiently definite. To the first question the hon. gentleman gave • decided answer in the negative ; and to the second be replied that he was for no further grant beyond the 100,0001. —Dr. Godwin then inquired if Mr. Busfeild would oppose the minutes of council until those portions which compelled the use of a catechism end creed in church schools should be expunged therefrom I—Mr. Busfeild, in rejoinder, repeated that he was decidedly, opposed to any interference with general education by the compulsory teaching of catechisms and creeds. To avoid the possibility of any interference with the utility of that educa tion, he would say, " put aside and entirely remove all creeds and all religious doctrine from those schools, and let them be as much as possible for secular education end no other." Dr. Godwin pressed for an answer, " yea " or "nay," as to whether Mr. Busfeild would oppose the minutes of colocil as they now stand, so long as it is rendered compulsory in schools of the established church, or in those of any other denomination, to tench religion. Mr. Busfeild answered that he did not know what oonstruction might have been put upon his words, but according to his own meaning he had said "yes" to that question. Tremendous cheering followed this reply. Several persons stepped forward to shake hands with Mr. Sualkild ; tad after weer,' other gentlemen had addressed the meeting, a resolution moved by Mr. Beaumont arid seconded by Mr. G. Oxley was unanimously agreed to, to the effect that the meeting felt sensible of the past ser vices of Mr. Busfeild so representative of the borough, and, ; agreeing with the sentiments now expressed by him, con sidered him well qualified again to represent the coned tuency, and pledged themselves to support him. Another resolution, moved by Mr. R. Milligan and seconded by Mr. H. Forbes. declaring Col. T. P. Thompson so a fit and proper man to represent the borough in parliament, and that the meeting would use every legitimate and honourable means to secure his return, was also carried amidst loud sil -1 plsuse. The general feeling of the meeting appeared to be that a reconciliation between the two sections of the "liberal' party had at length been brought about. BitiDONORTH.—Sir J.

CITY or Lownox.—A meeting of the liberal electors of the ward of BishopegateWithin, wu held last evening at the White Hart, Bishopegate-street. Mr. Deputy Stevens took the chair.—Mr. J. Padden, who (as well as the excessive noise and confusion which prevailed, would permit his words to be heard) expressed himself moat distinctly in favour of the put principles which bad been so conmatestly advo cated by the party wherewith he had been connected in his political career. He was for carrying out the principles of the Reform Bill to their utmost practicable extent, and with this view he was • friend I. the vote by ballot. He was favourable in the fullest sense to civil and religious liberty. With respect to the endowment of any branch of the clergy, out of the brads of the state, he was decidedly opposed to such a mode of appropriating any portion of the consolidated fund ; a fund wrung from the hard earnings of the working classes. Amongst other reforms which he wished to see instituted was the extirpation of the odious rate-paying clause in the Reform Bill ; and be would readily vote for expunging that clause whenever the opportunity offered itself. Some of the electors present styled the reform bill a diabolical bill ; let him remind them all that though the measure undoubtedly had defects, it was on the whole a noble measure, and one which they must not forget they owed princi pally to the energy of his noble friend their repre sentative and candidate Lord John Russell.—Baron Roths child next presented himself to the notice of the meeting, and was received with strong marks of approbation and sympathy. The hen. candidate declared himself a firm advocate of free trade. He was also of opinion that no person ought to be called upon to pay for the religion of an other hence he was totally opposed to the proposition for endowing any branch of the church out of the taxes levied on the community. The education of the peeyie was also a matter in which it did not behove the government to inter fere. (.' Bravo.") He was for the mamba el the fran chise ; and whilst he was ready le vine it the of the clause which rendered the beaky of yodeg eat en the payment of rates, he were say that he was not dis peed to had fault with the Nina Bill as a measure. elf cheep Lament declared Wt Mr. Pennon was his polar seer mil snide.
