THE electors of Middlesex may do worse than give each his half hour to a perusal and analysis of the Ilarquis of BLANDFORD'S committee list. It is a ve—, ? instructive document. The committee is made up in nearly equal proportions of Middlesex magis trates and Tory lawyers. How the latter came to be there is obvious enough : it is all in the way of busi ness. P. is about the magistrates that we have a word or two to say. individually taken—in their private capacities— thesi• Tory magistrates of Middlesex arc most re spectable men. They arc kind to their dependents, never backward with subscriptions or other works of cha• ity, inuffcusive, and decorous in their general deportment. But OA magistrates they arc part of a system neither harmless nor inoffensive in itself, and what is worse. they have most of them been en grafted upon that system by the actual Lord-Lieute nant of Middlesex. They are, in short, the Mar quis of SALlsot•aT'n body-guard —a fact which sakes their superlative real against Popery and all Popish tendencies, real or affected, more unaccount able than ever. Now. among the practical reforms which—as appealing to men's pockets—are most longed for at present, there is none of greater importance than the reform of out system of local taxation. The most popular, the most real agitation that has moved the counties for some time back is that which aims at infusing a representative clement into that body upon whom devolves the assessing, the imposition. !crying, and disbursing of county and other rates. At pm-sent the management and administration of the county rates is entirely in the hands of the local nueristracv, who are virtually irre sponsible. If the Marquis IRA lonian is returned at the Middlesev election, it will be not as a member fur the county. but for the county magistrates. lle will go to parliament to do the work of those who have rent him there—the Marquis of SatiseeitY and A's magistracy. He will go there to oppose every motion to admit representatives of the ratepayers to partivipate in the management of county fi nance. Ile will go there to uphold a ,o stem under which the ratepayers have no voice in deciding what amount of county rates they shall pay, or how or for what objects these county rates shall be expended. The business of the Marquis of BLANDFORT in parliament will be to perpetuate the system under which the poor and industrious ratepayers are surcharged to =dwelt' felon-palaces, or to build and uphold bridges and construct lines of road, less for the accommoda tion of the public than of wealthy landowners. .Inetlitr duty to which the nominee of the magis trates will be sternly held by his masters, if he suc ceed in getting into parliament, will be tlit of abetting their crusades against the innocent pleasures of the people. Whatever they may be in their pri vate circles, the Middlesex magistrates are in their public relations notorious for belonging to the Chin who have not music in their souls." With their good will, to touch a fiddle in a tea-garthn or tavern frequented by the less wealthy would be made felony without benefit of clergy. Their vexatious and oppressive proceed inv.. year alter Year, in the matter of music licenses, are notorious. No hope is there for the introduction of a more just and liberal system of adjudging on applications for licenses, if our county magistrates are to have the nomination of our county members. Lastly (for the present—it would iv easy to add more counts to the indictment, but these will suffice), the Middlesex magistrates, like the aggregatecounty magistracy of the realm, are strenuous enforcers of the Game Laws. And here—as the luckless neighbours of the Nlarlborough preserves can tell—they will find a willing and zealous instrument in the scion of the House of MARLBOROUGH to fight the battles of the (lame Laws in the House of Commons. Recent inquiries hare revealed many odious features in the Game Laws, but the wont features of their ad ministration remain in a great measure undisclosed. Strange tales are told, and by trustworthy persons, of camp ac between worshipful members of the quo rum, by which each becomes bound to dispose of his bench-fellows' poachers in a satisfactory manner— provided the compliment is returned. We waive for the present the consideration of the oppressive and demoralising character of the Game Laws—they have been sufficiently lectured upon—we speak now of those laws financially. We ask farmers to re member how much the Game Laws coat them annually in depredations on their crops? And we ask ratepayers how much they cost them in additions to the outlay for county gaols, county prosecutions, end county police? Leaving out of view for a moment the broad objection, to Lord BLANDFORD as a candidate for Middlesex in a national point of view, we ask the electors for that county how their loca l interests are likely to be promoted by the nominee of Lord SALtsneitY's magistrates? The Marquis of BLAND FORD, they may rest assured, will be kept hard at work to serve the interests and promote the crotchets of those who have brought him forward and are timesaving for him. He will be as staunch a champion of the Game Laws as CRAVEN BERKELEY— a stern withholder of innocent pleasure from the poor; —a tyrant of all the less wealthy tavern-keepers ; and an upholder of the absolute power and unaccount ability of the magisterial bench in the imposition and disbursing of county rates. Are these qualities likely, in the eyes of the electors of Middlesex, to compensate for the ob jections they have to the Marquis of BLANDFORD as the champion of the little loaf? The troth is, t at local magisterial taxation is almost as heavy general taxation of parliament, and even more din cult to struggle against; and that the petty lo al oppressions of "the greet unpaid" are even more galling than those in a more extensive sphere which any Tory ministry would venture is inflict. These intolerable local abuses the Marquis of BLANDPORD is brought forward to support awl perpetuate in his capacity of magistrates niseslase• -Every elector who votes for htm votes far OM abominable Game Laws: for the cureupt and ve licenaing ave. tern; and for heavy county = la mer the expenai ture of which the ra: clay= Imen gm control.

F ItANCE. PARIS, Wri)N•AIDAy Eympiu. Bou-Mara, the Arab chief who gave the Fesash some work in Algeria after t'ae capture of Abel limier, and was subsequenftle taken prisoner himself and confined in the castle of Ham, has just succeeded in a second attempt to escape from that citadel. Boa-Mesa had obtained leave to visit the ruins of Pierre-Fond, in the department of the Gide, in com pany of a keeper. No sooner had he reached this place than he gave his keeper the slip, and took the rail again at the nearest point. A glimpse was caught of him at the station of Amiens, and orders were transmitted by telegraph to arrest him at the nearest possible station. The C'eurrier du Pus de Calais states that he escaped on Saturday night, and was accompanied by a miller's workman, who acted as his servant. This celebrated chief effected his escape once before, immediately after the revolution of February ; but he was soon canght again. Should lie have beCcr luck this time, the recent rebellion of the Kabylcs would render his presence in Africa more formidable than ever to the French. There has been long talk of pnilonging the Stras bourg railway to Vienna. An important step has been just taken with a view to carrying out this plan. Two of the administration have set out for Ulm and Augsburg. to come to an understanding with the governments of Wurtemburg and Bavaria for effecting a junction with the German line from Stuttgart to Ulm and from Augsburg to Munich. Three trains are to bear the President, his suite, and the visitors invited by the administration of the Strasbourg railway, on the occasion of the inaugura tion of this line. The first train will start at 3 on Saturday morning, direct for Strasboure. The second, conveying the ]'resident and his immediate personal attendants, will start at tr on the same morning, and stop at Nancy. The third will start on Sunday morning, and proceed directly to Strasbourg. 'fhe resolution not to admit any ladies in the trains on the occasion of the President's voyage, has occasioned clamorous expostulations on the part of the fair Pari sians ; but there is nothing new in this arrangement, which has been invariably observed on all such trips. The .lAmile or publishes the following communi cated note: "All the military and naval civil func tionaries who will be admitted on Saturday to the trait) which is to convey the President to Strasbourg are to be in uniform. They will wear undress dur ing the journey and full dress for the balls, recep tions, and other public ceremonies." The Patric says that the most rigorous measures have been taken to prevent any person from taking his seat in the train without a personal ticket of invitation. Ushers who know the principal official personages by sight will be placed at the entrance to the railway to recognise them. Strict inquiry will be made of all other per sons presenting tickets, and those who may be the bearers of any not in their own names will be sent back. The Minister of Public Works will not return to Paris till late this evening, the inspection of the line huffing taken some hours more than was expected. Thu trains will nevertheless start punctually at the time fixed. A letter from Berlin of July 11, says that the President will go to Forbach from Strasbourg, and that an officer of rank of the Prussian army will be sent there to pay him a complimentary visit. A tecent fact cited tome, confirms what 1 told you on the subject of the probable amnesties, or rather pardons, to be granted on August 15; there was a special bureau of pardons at the Ministry of the In terior; this bureau has ceased to be in operation, but its attributes hare been centralised at the Elysee itself, where they have been put into the hands of General Goyon, aide-de-camp of the President, who has already been entrusted with a similar task with regard to prisoners at Ilicetre. General Goyon will have the power, in the last resort, of examining the papers relative to all the prisoners sentenced by the mixed commission, excepting those already examined specially bs General Canrobert and MM. Espinasse and Baudiart. M. Pietri, the prefect of police, has distinguished himself by organising a regular St. Bartholomew massacre of dogs. He has posted up a polite notice to signify to ladies, as well u gentlemen, that even those pets whom they lead in strings will be slaugh tered befoie their eyes if left unmuzzled. The serycniale-rifle have strick orders to fall on all dogs whose noses and chins are not fast bound together. The Patric tells us that 286 informations were laid yesterday against owners of dogs. If the police proceed at their present rate in destroying dogs, the proceeds of the tax to be levied on these animals will be seriously affected Hence it is said that M. Pietri has received a hint from the minister of finances to stop this canine butchery. You are aware that the catholic clergy have been dispensed from taking the oath of allegiance to the President. This dispensation has been extended to the ministers of all other worship paid by the state. The council of the Bank of &France held a meeting on Monday to consider the regulations relative to the formalities to be observed in making advances upon railway shares and bonds. Hitherto it has been customary upon the signature of the borrower to the loan note being attested by a stock-broker, to ad vance the money ;on the day of the deposit of the security. It is resolved that for the future the loan note shall not be submitted to the council of dis count, and that the sum lent shall not be paid till the day after the deposit of the shares or bonds. The heat to-day has been 38 of Renmur in the shade. The belief in a great convulsion of nature to morrow is still general. Many persons in the lower ranks of life have left Paris. I have myself seen an English gentleman, whose servants have asked leave to go to Boulogne, to be out of the way of the im pending catastrophe. M. Arago has not made any public statement to explain how far he is responsi ble for the terror that prevails. I believe it to be certain that he did prophecy that to-morrow, July 15, would probably be the hottest day of the year in Paris, but I cannot learn from any good source that he said more. General Lawceestine has postponed all reviews of the national guard on account of the beat. Prince Jerome Bonaparte gave • grand dinner at Frascati's, at Havre, yesterday, to the principal civil and military authorities, the staff of the 2nd regi ment of the line and the officers of the Heine Hor tense. There is a report that Napoleon, the son of Jerome, is to be made minister of state. Tbs Constitutumnel, although a systematic oppo nent of free-trade principles in France, as being likely to injure the public treasury, seems to think that a large reduction of the duties on French wines in England would so much increase the consumption that the amount of revenue to the state would be rather increased than diminished. The Constientionnel regards the reduction also as a measure prescribed by equity. There can he no doubt that a large re duction of the duty on French wines would lead to an enormous increase of consumption in England. and be of great benefit to the French growers. There are certain French wines which are at once whole some and cheap, and which please thu English taste. The duty on some of these wines in England amounts to three times its original cost, and acts therefore almost as a prohibition. Good Beaune, for instance, if there were no duty, could be had for six pence per bottle in England, and Picardin, an excel lent subs'itute for sherry, for about the same price. If, therefore, the duty in England were to be no more ! than the cast of the wine, tte English would have a choice of some ten to fifteen good wince, at a total cost ' of about one shilling per bottle, and none but the very poorest persons would he unable to drink French wine. The reduction of the duty has long been talked of, ! hut, considering the advantages that it would hold oat to this country, the government. in Englund have nlways stipulated for some concessions in favour of iron, coals, or other ar; idea of British prduce. Fifteen years ago the governments of France and England had entered into serious negotiations for the reciprocal reform of their customs tariffs, and Sir H. Ilulwer and Dr. llowring were appointed escorts , nil-glom -Ts of the British government to discuss with the cominiasionersof the Frencligovernment the baste of a new commercial treaty. chew labour,continned ' several months, and were proceeding sa.isfactorily when they were suddenly broken off by M. l'hiers, who was then in the French cabinet. The only mo tive as for this proceeding was the improbabi lity of inducing the Chamber of Deputies, which ut that time was composed in a great measure of mono polists and anti-tire traders, to consent ; but it was, we understand, the opinion of the English commis sioners that, if the government had been sincere in THE EXPRESS THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1852. its professions, its Mitt:vim on the Chamber would have sufficed to bring the affair to a satisfactory re sat. The obstacles which then existed to a mutual reform et the tariffs of the two ()gantries, with a view to new international advantages, do not exist now. M. Hubner, the Austrian ambassador, has just re turned from his journey in the south of France, and has resumed his diplomatic functions. At the Boum the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. fell 15, and closed at 103.5; the Threes fell 10, closing at 72.15. Bank of France shares fell 12.60. The Orleans railway rose 15 ; Western, 5 ; Havre and Dieppe 2.50 each; Rouen fell 7.60; Strasbourg, 3.70 ; Northern, L 25 ; St. Berman, Marseilles, and Bordeaux are without variation. By these advice' It else appears that President Arleta seriously meditates a coup dilal. The following ap ' peaty on this subject in the New York Herald " It is more than probable, in the present exhausted coo dition of the public treasury, and on account of the hope kW state In which the late Congress has lett the country, that ere this reaches you some stirring scenes will have been enacted. It is stated that, in view of the pressing internal and ' external difficulties by which President Arleta issurrounded —in view of the exigencies of a bankrupt treasui y and the imminent hazards of a domestic revolution—he hos props sed to our ministes, Mr. Letcher, a basis of settlement at once' broad enough to secure a solid government for Mexico, and dissatisfaction of all reasonable demands and claims of the citizens and government of the United States against it. President Arista, ins word, proposes to imitate the brilliant example of the coup d'dat of Louis Napoleon, by assuming the dictatorship; and on condition that the government of the United States shall furnish him with the sinews of war to the extent of 6,000,000 dollars for castling out the en terprise, he will ratify the Garay grant of the Tehuantepec route, and relieve our government from the obligations of the 11th article of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo." A grave misunderstanding is said to have taken place be tween the Mexican government and the French minister, in consequence of a demand of the latter that the payment to the English bondholders of a portion of the indemnity money should be subjected to the usual export duty on sil ver. The French Minister sent strong diplomatic note a to the Mexican government, one of which was returned to his legation. Recent accounts from the Rio Grande represent the mur derous outrages by Mexicans and Indians to be on the in crease on the Texan frontier. 'f he government at Wash ington should admit of no delay in despatching to the field of the assassins a military force sufficient to completely check and bring to justice these ruthless outlaws. We also learn, by the same despatch, that considerable excitement existed at Matamoru, in consequence of the election of the liberal candidate to the governorship, notwithstanding which the present incumbent refuses to give up his post. This affair may again stir up the smouldering embers of discord and revolution in which Caravajal lately figured. Late accounts from Santa Fe announce that the cholera had disappeared, the Indians were quiet, and the settlers were getting along prosperously. A huge foundry, and several adjoining dwelling-houses in Tn , y, were destroyed by Ore on Sunday afternoon. The loss, it is supposed, will reach one hundred and fifty thousand &Mars, and, what makes the matter worse, some two hundred workmen have been thrown out of situations by the calamity. In Hudson, on Sunday morning, stores and dwellings to the value of about forty thousand dollars were consumed. . . . - The numerous gales on the lakes, within the past few months—particularly on Lake Erie—have destroyed an im mense amount of property. The steamer Caspian, during a gale on Thursday night, was wrenched from her moorings at Cleveland, and dashed to pieces against the pier. The schooner St. Mary was capsized during the same gale, near Toledo, and it Is supposed that all on board were drowned. Accounts begin to reach us train the south, relative to the , promising appearance of the coming cotton crop. The British mail steamer Quito Captain ells, arrived at Panama, on the 114th June, with dates from Valparaiso to the 30th of May. The accounts of the silver mines at Copiapo continued favourable. The magnetic electro-tele graph between Copiapo and Valparaiso had been brought out by Mr. Wheelwright, in sham of 600 dolt. each ; capi tal 200,000 dole. The following is the latest intelligence received front Peru and Ecuador by the Quito : "Num.—The result of Flores' expeditions against Guayaquil was anxiously looked for, the more so as the re ' public of New Granada had assumed a decidedly hostile attitude ; to meet which Peru was also making some war like preparations. Recent periodicals from Lima advise the proximate intention of the government to effect some changes in the licensee of the trade as affecting foreigners (patents), and also some new arrangements respecting guano; among others, that 01 keeping the Chincha Islands under the eye of a government steamer.

General Urbina that he was re a dy t o enter into a convention for Flores to leave Ecuador ; but the chief magistrate would make no arrangements whatever, deeming the course pursued by the Peruvian government in the whole affair as unfriendly and treacherous.

The last advices from Bogota (New Granada) are eon• mined in the following extracts from the J'aiinfars Near of the 17th June : _ forced loan did not pass. The President is autho rised to negotiate a voluntary loan, either at home, where there is no money to be had, ur abroad, where it will not be given. The President is also authorised to raise an army of 30,000 men, and to declare war against any nation or nations aiding Flores in his attempts against Ecuador. " By a decree dated the 14th of May, Congress has ceded the island of Mancanilla to the Panama Railroad Com pany ; also the right of property over such ground as the company may recover from the sea at the two extremities of the railroad. The decree prohibits all persons from travel. ling over the railroad otherwise than in the company's cars, and subjects those who infringe this rule to a fine of 200 realm, or to 60 days' imprisonment " The commercial law has passed.

The market is more abundantly supplied with money, and we notice more anxiety to obtain for it the low rates of interest now current than at any previous period of the season. The heavy pay ments for dividends and interest coupons have thrown into circulation large sums, whilst the demand both for ship ment and for the legitimate wants of trade continues light.

NIBWOuRT PAGINELL, JULY 14. Mr. Dupre and Mr. Disraeli dined this afternoon with a numerous body of their constituent., comprising the leading ferment and many of the gentry and clergy in the neighbourhood. Covers were laid at the Anchor Hotel for nearly 200, end they were all occupied. A sumptuous din ;erne ; a ss , aditset.endt. tenant-farmer, e s r n . d ga tte afterwards the Chapman, ai the loyal w. M I i r e . then gave " Her Majesty's Ministers." (Loud cheers.) Mr. DISRAELI was received with great applause on rising to respond. He said—Al I am the only one of her Majesty's ministers who is present on this occasion, you will permit me to return you thank,, on their part, for the manner in which you have received the toast of the chair man. Iler Majesty's ministers, gentlemen, at the present moment, are before the country; yet I can say, on their pert, with the utmost sincerity, that they are nut afraid of the verdict that will he given by the country. (Loud cheers.) Fortified by that which they believe will be the verdict of the nation, it will be their duty, to the utmost of their power, to propose measures to parliament which they believe are necessary to promote the good of all clones of the community. (Cheers.) And in so doing, gentlemen, you may confidently rely that they will not forget the pledges they have given, nor the promises they have made to the agricultural interest of the country. (Loudehetra.) The CHAIRMAN followed with the toast, "Our conserva tive candidates." Mr. Deritx made a speech in reply'. Mr. DISRAELI again rose, and, after a few introductory observations, said—Gentlemen, when I addressed you last, as your mem ber,; in this room, you will remember what was then the position of the opposition of that day. It was one of very great difficulty. fhe change of Dile was a change of the moat remarkable description. I was, among others, opposed to that change. (Cheers) I thought the risk of that change was too great under the circumstances— too great fur the country to incur. I to .ught the dis turbing circumstance., so far as the agricultural interest was concerned, which that change would produce, were not a matter of theory; that they were inevitable, and that no one had a right to incur the responsibility of voting fur a change, so unpremeditated, so insecure, and so inconsistent—C" hear, hoar," and cheers)—and I must say, gentlemen, that every subsequent session of parlia ment has perfectly fortified the opinion I then formed. (Cheers.) I knew—all knew the effect of that change upon our position. We all knew that we should have very great difficulty to regain the position we had lest. Gentlemen, I told you to form your views a little more deep than foolish. I said, "There is great agricultural distress in consequence of a change in the law ; your opponents taunt you when you seek to go back to that law, and they are all-sufficient in their opposition. I want you to ascer tain what is the cause of your suffering, and, if possible, to accept the new policy, and to consider what recompense you can find in other measures." 1 say—what is the reason the English producer, the English occupier of land, cannot compete with the foreign producer or occupier of land? (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") I have always said, and I don't know that I have ever heard any argument of an in telligent opponent which I could refer to as in any way conclusive against it—l have always said, the reason as " that the English producer is under • system of taxation— (loud cheers) —a system which is in general applied to himself—which is in particular applied to the class to which he belongs—entailing open hips burdens which do not allow him to run the race onequal terms with the others." (Loud cheers.) That is what I said. And gentle men, I have also said that the protectionist system was not to be justified unless you can show these circumstances exist. (Hear, hear.) And I still believe these circumstances do exist in this country, however much they may he modified, and that the principle of protection is sound—that in a society which is artificial, in which there exists a financial system so complicated as our own, it was much better to adhere to comi.ensating arrangements for the protection of the cultivators of the soil than that you should madly leave him en unequal competitor with the foreigner. 'Cheers. And this principle, 1 say, is at all times ta lie modified according to existing circumstances. But, gentlemen, the protective principle was not only a sound one, but it was a principle to the advantage of the country, and the only rinciple upon p which our present system of fin anc e cou ld be vindicated. Well, I say, gentlemen, if the country has chosen to abro gate that system, and if the majority of the people of this country are of opinion it would be unwise to recur to it, I say we must seek by other means—(cheers)—and in another direction—(repeated cheere),—to place the cultivators of the soil in a fair and just position. (Loud chem.) Now, gentlemen, that is all I have ever said. It is what 1 am perfectly ready to maintain. I said it in opposition, as yonr member; and 1 say now, as a minister of the crown, I am perfectly prepared to advise her Majesty to carry it out. (Great cheering.) Now, gentlemen, it has sometimes been said that the policy I wish to pur s ue has been of but limited compass—t hat it referred only to the burdens en tailed upon land by our system of unfair taxation. Well, gentlemen, in the first place, if there are any par ticular burdens on one class which the rest of society do not bear, I say, as a matter of principle, that there ought to ,be redress. (Hear.) But I utterly deny that at any time I have told you that proper measures of redress were , elely or wholly to be got by any advantage which might arise from the adjustment of particular bur dens entailed by local taxation. Three years ago, in this room, I advised you to take that particular grievance into your consideration, and to work it out, because your claim for redress was founded upon justice. But, gentlemen, I have not told you-1 do not tell you now—that this would give you a sufficient, or that this would give you the chief, means of redress. (Hear, hear.) I say no. It is in reviewing —it is in adjusting—the whole system of national taxation ; it is in placing this system upon a just basis that the producer will find that justice which the consumer— which every fair and upright man—could wish him to secure. (Cheers.) But there is another means by which you may obtain re dress—and a means more practical than recurring to the past—which is beset with infinite difficulties. It is not to increase prices in order that you may have a fair remunera tion for your toil ; but it is, gentlemen, to reduce the cost of production. (Immense cheering.) Now that is the sound advice which the agricultural interest must act upon. (Hear, hear.) You are told that it is one of the necessities for the prosperous condition of England that the bread of the people timid be cheap. Well, I say take care that the producer of that bread shall be able to produce it as cheap as possible. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, you will find if you adopt that view of the case that you who are occupiers of the soil will more gradually get the feeling of the country in your favour, and at the same time more perfectly secure eompeasation for yourselves. It is, as I have said, in re viewing the system of taxation which exists, and in the adjustment of that system, that the cultivators of the soil will find that compensation, which they have a right to ex pect from the abrogation of that law which gave them arti ficial prices—(applause)—and I say, in accordance with the spirit of the age and with the temper of the country, let your produce now be raised upon the cheapest possible principle. (Applause.) But, then, it follows you must not allow your native produce to be shackled by laws which hinder the producer from competing with foreign countries. It follows that in the new principle of justice the culti vators of the soil shall no longer remain the only clue in capable of receiving a fair profit for their industry. It fol lows you must take care that the same justice be done to all her Majesty's subjects. (Cheers.) And I am well aware, gentlemen, if the question be viewed in that light, and if taxation shall certainly be placed upon a new principle, I am convinced we shall be able to bring forward mea sures of relief which will receive the sympathy and ap probation and support of all the various classes of this country. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, I am sometimes told tkat we supported in opposition what is called the protectionist policy, but have abandoned it in the re sponsible position cf the ministers of the crown. Gentle men, I should like to bear the accusations made in the House of Commons by any of my opponents. You know v ry well, gentlemen, I never have been one of those wh o asserted that any sufficient compensation for the ,rogation of a law of protection could be fairly found in a moderate fixed duty upon corn. I have all along declare!, in my offi cial position, that I should be extremely glad, as • financial measure, if a moderate duty were agreed upon. It would bring an immense quota to the national revenue, and I think it is a very great mistake, so fares financial considera tions are concerned, to suppose that a duty upon corn is a trifle ; but it seems to:be determined that we shall not raise my portion of the revenue from foreign grain. But suppose ' gentlemen ' that a measure were passed , say a ss. or • is. duty upon the importation of corn into this country —suppose this ; and, 1 ask, will that plaice you in a posi tion equal to that which you occupied in 1844 ? (" No, no, no !") This would be 11 relief, gentlemen, I have never supported, and it would net, by any means, greatly con tribute to place you in a just position. The moderate rise in prices that might accrue from this to the producer be• fore it fell upon the consumer would not really remunerate you for the suffering you have encountered, nor rectify much that unjust legislation of which you are the victims. (Ilene, hear.) But if you could secure this course, if you could manage to get this done, you would meet with great provocation from other classes, at the same time that you reaped no great or particular ;dvantages. I believe if the counsel 1 have given be taken, which I hope, as far as I am concerned, we shall be able to execute-1 believe you will receive an efficient, an e;fective remedy. (Approbation.) I do not mean to say, gentlemen, that a negligent man with oat capital—(" no, no") would find my remedy nmeh to his :elvantage. (Laughter.) That n ne of you would desire. (Cheers.) But I nay the cultivator of the soil, who embarks in his undertaking with ardour and with enterprise, with all the personal conditions requisite to success--who brings an &anomie amount of Ale on the one hand, and a fair share of capital on the other, will they be allowed to cuter on his undertaking with a fair prospect of obtaining that remuneration to which he is entitled. (Loud cheers.) Well, I say, gentlemen, it is, in my opinion, the I duty of • geeerninent to redress t he grievances under which the agriculturists have unjustly suffered. I say MOM, it is tlp•ir d uty to do so it they have the oppor- tundy; and I say futility, it is their duty to meet the electors of the country, and to ask from thew an omoor tunity of effecting this redress. (Cheers.) And what are our prospects, gentlemen, .4 success in Hutt particular ? If I thought we could only obtain that redress be a continua tion of support front Ilic counties of I . :owl:Ana, although I might think the caw, abstractedly a just one; although I might feel esit h s ing just we should not refrain from doing that which is founded in justice, yet I could only d. it with regret; under such circumstances I might shrink from attempting the west risk of con ciliation. (Hear, hear.) But as far as I can view the appeal which my Lord Derby has made to the nation, I see no evidence that only one class—the agricultural class—in about to give its sanction to such views. (Hear.) I WO some or the greatest towns in the etriantr—(A. woke..

After alluding to the conduct of the govern ment, and the opposition it had met with, Mr. Disraeli *aid— hoe me,m, men, we carried all the measures we intruduced. Wo carried that reform of the Chancery Court wl,uh or James Graham at Carlisle has stated to be a matt. r with which everybody must b. pleased ; nod I will nII you a little parliamentary anecdote. Wh e n the repert o f t h e Chancery Commission was placed upon the t a bl e of th e House of Commons, the report upon which 1 admit our bill were founded, Sir James Graham said these wen the greatest measures ever put before parliament to ri ru e ly the abuses ; but where, asked he, is the man to carry them out We, gentlemen, found the man—(cheers)—fur, under the present Load Chancellor we carried every reform proposed in our bills. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, there is meter sub ject upon which it is expected we should have 'sr, char opinions—l mean that all-absorbing topic, the relizious ril ing of the present day. I know, gentlemen, this I. e jest difficult to treat; hut I have confidence in year treme good sense. Gentlemen, in the speech from the throne, recently delivered, her Majesty ripe, sseil her de sire to uphold the protestant institutions of the country. (Cheers.) Now there was one subject which very much engrossed the people of this country lx.fore parliament met, and that was the endowment of Mayuooth Colts,, acd there existed a very strong feeling on the subset, not limited to any one class ; and it would have heir' the height of folly fur her Majesty's ministers to have treated that feeling with contempt. I could have personally crea med a position with respect to that question, h would, if acted !upon. have done away with all controversy ; for I was one of those who opposed that endowment at first —(cheers)—thinking it hctrayed a total lour:ince of the wants of the age, and that it would be ultimately opposed by those who were obligated as well as those who ha.' given it as a coucesaioa ; but I had to view the question, not in the light of my personal feeling, and I thought it inc , -ary to support the motion for inquiry of Mr. Spooner; far this was an ago in which Roman catholics themselves should not pose inquiry. (Hear.) But the government were f reseed to inetitute a royal corn nission of inquiry. Gentlem(n, a royal commisemu has not the power of compelling the at tendance of witnesses, and its proceeding+ would be liable to all kinds of misrepresentation ; but, however indecor ous may he the proceedings of a House of Commons, the country, at least, has confidence in such a tribunal, being composed of men of all parties, But, gent men, there is another point connected with the religious feeling of the country, upon which I must crave your attention a little. We thought it our duty to advise her Majesty to issue a Royal Proclamation, with the intention of pre., ming the peace of society. But in doing this eve ry specie. of mis representation has been circulated; and I confess that in this free country I do not object to unrestricted criti clam ; hut, gentlemen, we have been told Urn this proclamation was issued to influence the election.. I heve seen that statement made by rather high authority upon the hustings. All I could wish were, they should make such statements in the House of Commons, so that it might be brought to the test before that great tri bunal whether such sordid means ever influeueed the go vernment. Gentlemen, in the course we took we were only influenced by a great imperial necessit y . The matter was laid before the Privy Council randin a manner whielt, could nut be mistaken, and with evidence supported by must high authority—evidence which we took care to examine before we proceeded to ac'—evidence that, in certain districts of England, in consequence of numerous processions which the Roman catholic priesthood had in stituted, consequences would result, in more than thirty places at least, which would endanger the life of many of her Majesty's subjects. What was our duty undue these circumstances? Why, gentlemen, the moment had come for us to interfere. We could not hesitate. We recom mended that her Majesty should issue that proclamation which has received the approbation of the kingdom. lam told that the riots at Stockport were caused by that procla mation. Why, if the proclamation had not been inaned the same disorder would have taken place in filly parts of the kingdom. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, instead of this measure tending to excite the Roman catholic population it was the providential came of maintaining peace and of saving the country from bloodshed. And our precautions, gentlemen, were so great, that we previously interfered with the orange processions which were understood to come off in Ireland. This was the course we took !gentlemen, instead of being guided by those sordid and selfish motives which are the tac tics of party. We shall, gentlemen, with your pi emission, carry out our views of policy on all these matters with more efficiency,and I believe, with more success in the new parlia ment. (Cheers.) It is my firm conviction that the govern ment of Lord Derby will meet parliament in the autumn with an absolute majority. (Cheers.) To me that is not a subject of doubt. And the ministry, shall, therefore. 011 longer have to meet a hostile p ar li ament, or to be re attained in its policy by an overpowering opposition. We shall meet parliament prepared to do our duty, under a firm conviction that the country will steadily support us. I feel, gentlemen, that the present government In necessary for the preservation of the English constitution; but the future institution of the opposition already peeps from its shell and developes its horns. and from that shell the opposition cannot emor,le except enveloped in the shrine of sedition. (Continurellaughter.) A change in the institutions of the country will be the con dition of its success • and you must indeed be false to all your professions—fa lse to that high spirit which Englishmen have ever shown—false to the traditionary assoc:ation of your eountry, if you suffer an opposition, founded epee such principles to govern the nation. (Cheer..) Wells then, gentlemen, when we meet in the county ball on Fri day, I want to know if you will support the principles sail practices which I have so feebly detailed? (Load cries of " Yes, yes.") Will you be prepared to say, "We shall have justice done to the sou—(" Yes, ysal—we shall have our legislation conceived in the spirit of the age —"' Yes, yes")—which is in the spirit of justice." (Cheers.) , constitution of this country preserved, not with the Will you be prepared to sac, •• W e w ill h ave th e pr o testant secta rianism of bigots, but with thou -, who believe that pro testantism is the only safeguard of English (Loud cheers.)

BELGIUM. The convention between Belgium and Holland for the junction of the Belgian and Dutch railways, was signed four days ago at Brussels. At the same time the conditions of a concession of a railway from Ant weep to Hollandsch Diep, with a service of steam navigation from the latter place to Rotterdam, were agreed to. HOLLAND.

The Franklin left New rk at 2 p.m. on the 3rd July. At the period of the Franklin's departure the New York papers were principally occupied with accounts of the effect produced throughout the coun try by the death of Mr. Clay. We take the following items of intelligence from New York papers of the same date : An important communication from the Secretary of State, relative to diplomatic salaries, was received by the Senate yesterday, by which it appears that nearly all our foreign representatives deem their ray entirely too small t and on comparison with the salaries paid to the agents of other countries, it appears that many of our own agents do not get a fair equivalent. Our special Washington correspondent writes that Mr. Webster has expressed his disapprobation of the movement in favour ,if getting up an independent ticket for the presi• deny. He has seen too much of political strife to permit his own immediate fri. nds and others—who have been greatly disappointed by the nomination of the Whig Na tional Convention—to make a tool of him at this late day.
