THE elections open inauspiciously for the in scrutable Ministry—the Ministry drifting about in search of a principle, like fences in search of • wife. The returns received show a majority of at emit two to one against the Derbyitee. In the City of London they have been obliged to remain contented with their one member; in Marylebone, Lambeth, the Tower Hamlets, they have not ventured to show face ; though in two of these constituencies Liberal 'WM lighting against Liberal. In Birmingham, Sheffield, Salford, Portsmouth, Oxford, Coventry, Nottingham, they have also allowed judgment to go against them by default, though in some of them places also the Liberals were divided among them selves. fheT have fared little better in such of the 'rasa constituencies as are not absolute pocket boroughs at Scarborough the A ept LI. of Protection —Mr. G. F. forts is at the bottom of the poll. it is by no means difficult to anticipate the devices by which the Ikrbyite organs will to-morrow en deavour to conceal the merciless drubbing their party have received, and re-inspire their panic stricken troops with courage. They will talk big about Mr. MASTERNAN's heading the poll in the corporation-ridden City of London ; they will smirk couiplacently over the success of their friend Mr. Rohr, who has been smuggled in for Greenwich by dockyard inffience, whilst the liberals were quarrel ling with each other; they will blow a forty-thousand duekey note of triumph over the return of two Der byites for Liverpool. under an access of a MeNeitt ant i.Nlaynooth panic combined with a distaste for Irish immigrants. These are indeed victories on which - local Tories have a good right to plume themselves, and of which local Liberals ought to be heartily mill-null. But they are at most mere iso lated exploits of individuate, amid the rout and retreat of a broken and bewildered army ; they merely make the extent of the DERBY loss more conspicuous by force of contrast. Every word of congratulation uttered by Conservatives to their brethren iu these three constituencies, is a sup plc owed groan over the general result of the struggle. In the face of the world Conservatives may affect to triumph in these exceptional successes, but such lan sge in dui- secret conclaves would at once be silenced by a " such another victory and we are Inst." There is a further subterfuge to which the Derbyite organs will doubtless have recourse. They will say, as yi t they have had only the large urban consti tuencies and boroughs to deal with ; that matters will wear a very different aspect when the county elections come on. But the rueful quavering tones in which this " stop a bit" will be uttered, must betray the little faith lac: in their assertions by the speakers themselves. know that in no case was there any material change in the county representatives to be looked for. know that the disastrous outset of the strug gle .r tZ damp the hopes and paralyse the efforts of their county partisans. They know that the partial bat unequivocal repudiation of the claims of the DEIST ministry—as far as the elections have yet gone—is the utterance of the opinions and sentiments of the saws portion of the people which carried Catholic emanci pation and the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts—which carried the Reform Bill—which carried the repeal of the Corn Law. Lord Dane and his colleagues know already that the country is u irre concilably hostile as ever to them and their princi ples; the comparatively few elections already termi nated are to them a hand writing on the wall of Downing -street, .‘ Nene, name, Tekrl, Upharsin." 'Phis national protest against the retention of power by the DERDY ministry is perhaps the more striking and impressive from some features of these elections which are anything but agreeable to earnest Re formers. We have repevtedly had occasion to call attention to the number of Derbyitc candidates who are being allowed to walk the course; and to de nounce the suicidal policy of Liberal contending against Liberal. We may add, that the Derbyites have left quite as many constituencies uncontestedas the Liberals, and these constituencies of far morocco @event* than those which have been quietly reigned to themselves. These facts indicate a foreknow ledge on the part of the party of progress and that of obstruction of their relative holds on public opinion— and an abstinence from bootless efforts. But they also indicate that the great movement which com menced a little before 1830 has, to a considerable extent, exhausted its force ; that no new men of originating and commanding talent have eome for ward to arouse and direct public enthusiasm; that we are approaching a moment of stagnation and in action in political ameliorations. But that even in this comparative apathy of the pablie mind, the eon demnation of the DERBY ministry should be so un equivocal shows even more forcibly than popular agitation or excitement could, to what an extent pure electoral government, universal religious tole ration, free trade, and a pacific foreign policy have become articles of the popular creed. The progress e reform may be comparatively tardy for a year or two, but what has been gained is sure; there will be no relapse into absolutism or the exploded fallacies of protection. It is at such seasons of a lull in political zeal that the less amiable characteristics of our nature present themselves mast obtrusively and offensively. During the Reform Rill struggle, when all was on the hazard, a contagious generosity raised men above themselves, and rendered even the vain and self seeking, self-denying. But now, when the gain has been realised—when men's minds are settling down into a state of equanimity—all the littlenseass of the individual come out in strong relief. To this we owe those discreditable movements in the Liberal camp which had nearly obtruded Mr. Hmtver upon Lam beth, have ungratefully driven Mr. WAKLET from Finsbury, and have ended in such a just rebuke of the small coterie who sought to intrude Mr. CRAW FORD OD the City.

It is all very well to my that constituencies ought to seek out proper candidates, instead of wanting to be solicited ; and in Utopia. or in the Millennium, no doubt con etitutocies will do so. But while constituencies re main what they are, proper candidates must lay aside their punctilio and hauteur, and press their claim. upon electors. I.srge constituencies do not choose O'Cossoas, because they prefer humbugs:; but because humbugs are in earnest, and exert themselves to get returned. If good men and true would be equally earnest and equally active and indefatigable, electors would prefer the good repre sentative to the sham.

They insisted dint seek a proceeding was clean against all known miles of diplomacy, which require that the conditions should be discussed before the surrender be made. The Count de Chambord would not hear of anything short of absolute submission on this point, and the Orleans princes, feeling themselves aggrieved by the arrogant pretensions of the head of the elder branch, have ceased all negotiation. Therefore, for the pre sent. there is not the least hope of any fusion being effected. The Marquis d'Audriffet, senator, and president of the Court of Accounts, has, I understand, been charged by the Prince-President with the mission of drawing up a report of the Senate on the amend ments which it may be desirable to introduce into the constitution. The Bishop of Nevers has returned from Rome; and if the representations given by this prelate of the Pope's disposition be exact, we must believ, Pins IX. is not to be content with a single face, any more than the statue of Janus in his Vatican palace. In fact, only a few days have elapsed since the De bate announced to the world that the Pope was de cidedly opposed to the ultro-catholic party in France represented by the organ of the Unirera, and had given a striking proof of this opposition by extin guishing a sort of branch Unirsra at Rome, called the Correspondence de Rome, written in French. But, according to the Bishop of Never., this result has been only obtained by the pressure of M. de Rayneval, and the Pope at heart is not at any jot of odds with the Unireia, but, quite the contrary, an adherent of M. Veuillot, and an opponent of the principles proclaimed latterly by Monseigneur de Depauloup, in his pastoral letter sticking up for the classics. The Pope has even charged the Bishop of Never, to express to the Abbe Gaume, who first raised this controversy in the Gal ilean church by his Ver Rougeur, his complete ap probation of the latter work. So much, at least, is averred by the friends of the Bishop of Never. and M. Veuillot. Some of the Arabs, who came to Paris for the fete of the distribution of eagles, have written since their return to Algeria, a diary of their trip, which has been published in the Modacher, Arab journal of Algiers. The DAats contains a notice of one of these Oriental compositions, duo to the florid pen of Si- Sliman-ben-Siam, hakim of Milianah, in which the impressions of the Arab physician on steamboats, railroads, and the French cities on his route, present little novelty either in form or substance. In fact the style so closely resembles the pseudo- Orientalism of the "Lettres Penance," and such fic tions, as to move belief that these journals, com manded by General Randon, contain bat a faiot re flection of originality, and were handed over by the chiefs to the fabrication of native peony-a-liners, assisted by Europeans. I find in the passages quoted by the Debate, but one worth reproducing. Si- Sliman-Ben-Siam, hakim of Milianah, observes that the ball-room at the Ecolo Militaire was so vast that standing at one end you could not have made out your dearest friend at the other. There is some thing. of native grace and perfume about thia ex pression, that would not have disgraced an old Moorish ballad of the time of the Abeocarrages ; and is a touch above the poetry of the French Arab bureau at Algiers. GERMANY. AUSTRIA. From the account current of the Bank of Vienna, just published up to the 30th ult., it appears that on that day the cash in hand Was 42,277,575 florins (the florin is somewhat more than 2fr. 50c.), and the notes in circulation 199,627,527 florins, or three mil lions less than in the preceding month. The Austrian Lloyd. of s ienna states that the inhabitants of the Turkish districts adjoining Aus trian-Croatia continued to take refuge in great num bers on the Austrian territory, where already more than 2,000 of them had established themselves.

The polling commenced at eight o'clock, but was remarkably languid throughout the day, very little more than half the oonstitueney being polled. Indeed, so un expected was the polling that no cheek clerks had been provided, and consequently the most discordant accounts of t►e numbers were published at the different committee rooms. AU, however, agreed upon one point, and that was, that from the commencement Mr. Crawford had no chance. Not two-thirds of the ►ivery polled, nor did it seem that the " long-shore" men had been called into requisition by any one. Lady J. Russell was present at the Guildhall during the polling ; and a visit was paid by the American Minis ter, who must have been struck by the languor and want of excitement. Shortly before four, the respec tive (successful) candidates, with their friend', came to the platform, and when the clock struck, came forward to make their acknowledgments for an honour which each hoped for, but none was quite sure of; Mr. Crawford was not present. The final numbers, axording to the liberal returns at the Guildhall Coffee house, were— Mastennen Russell Duke 6,107 Rothschild Crawford There was no aonomairmest of numbers, but notice was 1 given that the books wall he made up at 8 cm. this day, and that formal declaration would be made at 1 o'clock. The four presumed members then came forward and ten dered their conditional thanks to the electors. Mr Mas terman came first, and wu well received; then followed Lord J. Russell, who was greeted with general cheering; then followed Sir J. Duke, who also had an ovation; and finally Baron Rothschild, whose welcome wu not quite so unanimous. Mr. BErtstocu came forward on the part of Mr. Craw ford, and congratulated the electors on the bold stand they had made against dictation. The number of unsoli cited voters who had polled for Mr. Crawford was unpre cedented, and was a good earnest of what the electors of London would do on a future occasion. The proceedings were then formally adjourned to this day. Lord J. Russell on his departure was loudly cheered by the crowd.

The sitting of the second Hanoverian chamber was on the 3rd of a very animated character. A deputy introduced the case of • Captain Hasson, who had served in the Schleswig Holstein army during the late war, and received a wound while commanding a storming column at Friedrichstadt. When the Schleswig Holstein army was disbanded, the commis sion which was appointed to act in the name of the German Bund and the King of Denmark granted Captain Beeson an annuity of 400 thalers. On the let of April, 1852, the Daniah government stopped the pension, and the captain, who is a Hanoverian, applied to his own government for redress, but the Minister of Foreign Affairs declined to inter fere on his behalf, u similar intercessions had re mained without result. On the 3rd inst., therefore, Deputy Lang brought the case before the Second Hanoverian Chamber, proposing to call on the go vernment to take up Ins case, and see justice done him by Denmark, meanwhile paying to him his pension. The minilter Windhorst admitting the captain's claim, feared that the principle proposed to be applied would carry theta too far. - Deputy Lang replied that other governments, England especially, protected their subjects alined, and it would be a scandal if Hanover declined the same responsibility. The chamber ultimately nesepted M. Lanes proposi tion by a large majority. IRELAND. DUBLIN, JULY 7. At the Louth assizes yesterday, three prisonem, charged with the attempt to murder Mr. J.

The election fur the borough of Greenwich ter minated yesterday at four o'clock in the rerun of Mr. Chambers and Mr. Bolt—the division in the liberal ranks having afforded an opportunity to the ministerial candidate to slip in. From the opening of the polling places in the morning the greatest czertiont were made by the friends of the respective candidates to obtain the start, but, at the end of the first hour, a considerable majority appeared for Miners. Chambers and Bolt, which they increased every subsequent hour till the close of the poll, when the numbers, as given by Mr. Chambers's committce,stood thus: Chambers. Rolt. Stewart. Salomon'. Greenwich &xi 608 628 314 Woolwich 1,064 1,007 1,319 606 Deptford 697 976 472 270 Total The numbers as given by Mr. Roles committee place that gentleman at the head of the poll, being for Rolt 2,407; for Chambers, 2,333. It was reported about mid day that Mr. &lemons, seeing how far behind be was on the poll, and that no hope of success remained for him, had resigned, in order to give Admiral Stewart an oppor tunity of defeating the Derbyite candidate; but his com mittee soon issued a printed contradiction of the rumour. Much severe criticism wee passed on the worthy Alderman for not adopting this course, and it is said it will not im prove his position in any future election for the borough. The contest was carried on with greatspirit on all sides, but it would be doing injustice to Admiral Stewart not to say that the amount of support he received was most honour able to him, for no one could have been present at the dif ferent polling places without remarking that there was an entire absence of those electioneering claptrap' which are but too common on these occasions. Tho o® cial declaration of the p 4 - will take place this day. SOUTHWARK. Yesterday the nomination of candidates for the representation of this borough took place at the Town hall. St. Margaret's-hill, Southwark. The usual formalities having been gone through, Dr. CHALLIS proposed, and Mr. r. MARTIN seconded, Sir W. Molesworth, Bart., as a St and proper person to represent the borough In parliament. Mr. TIIWAITISS then proposed, and Mr. EVANS seconded, Mr. Ailey Pellatt. Mr. ELILINOTON proposed, and Mr. PLTLFY seconded, Mr. Sewall. Sir W. MOLESWORTH then came forward amid loud cheers, mingled with laming, and the honourable candi date was for a short time unable to proceed with his address. At length he said he asked them to choose him as one of their representatives in the next parliament. A similar request would be made to them by two very honourable and estimable gentlemen, and he was sorry they could not return all three, but as they could only gratify the wishes of two, he ventured to hope that he should be one of those two. (Hear, hear) In one respect his claim was superior to that of the two other hon. gentle men, whom he would not call his antagonists, because he hoped to be the colleague of one of them. (Hear, bear.) He alluded to the fact, that he had already served them in two parliaments, and had, to the best of his ability, acted in accordance with the principles upon which be obtained their suffrages. (Hear, near.) A eonstitueney was under an obligation to their representative if he did his duty, and the obligation should be discharged by their rewarding him for past services in returning him again. (Cheers.) He would now remind them of what his services had been. In the years 1845 and 1847 he had declared himself, on the hustings, as the advocate of free trade. He had said he was in favour of a removal of all re strictions on industry, as he thought that every legitimate means should he adopted to extend the pro ducts of our manufacturing skill, and to etching, the com modities of different nations for the benefit of all. He had professed himself the advocate of a repeal of the corn laws— a repeal of the navigation laws; and he had declared his determination to vote for the equalisation and reduction of the sugar duties. (Hear, hear.) He bad said he was in favour of the financial policy of the late Sir Robert Peel, and was a supporter of direct, instead of indirect, taxation. He had also expressed his opinion that as the the country increased there should be a gradual diminution of the excise duties. He had pledged himself to support the income tax under the financial policy of the late minis try, which wile in many respects the same as that of the late Sir Robert Peel. He had avowed himself in favour of a wise economy in every branch of the public service, and had supported the committee who were called on to inquire into the necessity of reducing our naval and militia/ expendi ture. He had supported and had spoken in favour ((national education at the public expense, as he considered that to educate the people was one of the moat solemn duties of society. (Cheers.) He had supported grants for educa tional purposes, anal the extension of those grants to all religious sects equal. In his opinion the state should show no preference far any religious sect whatever—the wise and true polity of this vast empire was that every man, whether he be Jew or Christian, catholic or protes tant, should have equal rights and privileges by law. (Loud cheers.) It was on this ground that he spoke and voted in favour of the admission of Jews to parliament, and that he refused to vote for the repeal of the grant to Maynooth whilst the protestant established church ill Ire land existed es at present. Ile had voted in favour of an extension of the suffrage, and had supported the motions of Mr. flume and Mr. Locke King. He had also been in favour of vote by ballot, and he thought the property qualification of members of parlia ment should be abolished, in order that the electors might not he fettered in their choice. He bad sup ported the measures proposed for the repeal of the taxes on knowledge, and he might safely assert that he had acted up to those priuciplee he had now enumerated. With regard to the question of foreign policy his opinion was that the administration of foreign affairs should be based upoa the principle of non-interference with the internal affairs of other countries ; and in respect to cidnnial government, he was in f of a complete and thorough reform of the present system—and for two objects —to strengthen and render permanent the connexion be tween this country and h. r colonies, and to reduce the ex nenditure on account of the colonies which now amounted to about tour millions a year. He had devoted his parti cular attention to this subject, and he was convinced that the tree mode of 'governing the colonies was to let them manage their own affairs, and not to control them by means of a colonial.ailfice situated in this city. (Hear, hear.) lie had never neglected to attend to the great and important questions of foreign or colonial policy, and he had felt that it was not necessary for this country to force her institu tions upon other nations, but it was right that they should set en example by which the advancement of society and the progress of human happiness might be promoted. (Chests.) He had now served in parliament fora period of 20 years, and he hoped he was fully entitled to claim the high honour of being again returned as the representative of this bwoogh. (Loud cheers.) Mr. APSLEY I'ELLATT then presented himself, and was received with loud cheering. The hon. candidate said he had already promulgated amongst them extensively his political principles. lie pointed to his personal acts as a proof of his devotion to the interests of the poor. At no meeting at which those interests were involved was he ab sent, and he had ever given his support to those movements which he felt to bo calculated to promote the wafers, of his fellow men. Ile was happy to accord in sentiment with so talented an opponent as Sir Wm. Molesworth— (loud cheers)—and whom he trusted they would, with him self, return to parliament at this election. llos(hlr. l'ellatt) appeared amongst them as the largest payer of the wages of labour of any free-trader in the borough, and he hoped they were convinced that he was dmerving of the honour of being their representative. (Hear, hear.) He had always identified himself with their interests, and had endeavoured to prove that he stood in the position of a patriot end a philanthropist. (Cheers.) He objected to the present system of prison discipline, and he approved of the method proposed by Mr. Charles Pearson and Mr. Sydney Turner. (Cheers.) All monopolies should be abandoned, especially that largest of existing monopolies, which weighed upon the industry and intellect of the country—the associated hierarchy of church and state. (Hera. hear.) In his opinion, great benefit would be conferred on the middle and working classes if a separa tion between the two could be established, and if the church were left to the purity of her doctrines, the holiness of her ministry, and the activity of her members, with the kindness of Providence smiling on her exertious. (Hear.) If he voted against Maynooth it would not be on sectasian grounds, but Depose he considered the endowment was one which pressed on the resources of the people and weighed them down by an injurious am'unt of taxation. (Hear, hear.) Should he be returned it would be his anxiety not only to be a quiet listener but to act with Sir W. Molesworth on those great colonial questions to which he had devoted so much valuable attention. (Loud cheers.) In conclusion he promised that the present position of the borough of Southwark, in reference to the corporation, should have his best exertions in seeking improve ment. (Cheers.) Mr. SCOVELL then came forward, and explained that he had presented himself u a candidate because he had re ceived a requisition, signed by about 1,500 gentlemen, re questing him to come :inward to represent their interests. (Cheers.) Having said this, he declared candidly that he was not for universal or manhood suffrage, nor for annual par liaments, but he was for Mr. Hume's motion as it respected boroughs, and for Mr. Locke King's as it regarded counties. Ile would slue support the ballot. The aristocracy adopted the ballot in their clubs, and in all matters requiring deli cacy of decision ; therefore he did not ace why the people should not adopt it also. (Hear, hear.) Ile was in favour of triennial parliaments, but would decidedly vote against annual ones. (Shouting and uproar.) In order to im prove the people he thought it necessary to remove the taxes on knowledge, which could be best done by first re moving the most important duty, namely, the tax on paper, which attached to publications of every kind. They might rest assured that he would do his best to remove all duties that weighed heavily on the working classes. (Cheers.) He was opposed to the Excise—(cheering), and he hoped the day was not distant when there would be no more exc i te . (Hurrah.) However, as regarded Customs, it s ho u ld b e admitted that the ustoms establishment was necessary both in a sanitary and statistical point of view, bat then he was in favour of reforming it. (Hear, hear.) Ile was in favour of doing away with all church rates; and he hoped to see the day when every church would be maintained by its own members. (Hear, hear.) As regarded religious questions, in his opinion no religious tenets or profession should disqualify a man for any office in the state ; and he therefore would most cheerfully support the admission of Jews to parliament. ( H e a r , hear.) The Maynooth vote was an educational one; and he was not prepared to say that he would vote for its abolition. The acres of wart houses in which he was interested in this borough, attested his conviction in the necessity of free trade ; and he had many years ago subscribed to the Cobden testimonial. Ile, there. fore, threw himself upon them ; and felt convinced, from the manner in which he had been received by the various meetings in the borough, that he would have conferred upon him the distinguished honour of representing them in parliament. (Cheers and shouting.) A show of hands was then taken, and declared to be in favour of Mr. Apsley Pellatt and Sir W. Molesworth ; and to morrow (this day) at eight o'clock was fixed for the polling to commence, to terminate at four in the afternoon. MANCIIESTEIL The nomination fur this borough took place yea. terday morning in St. Ann's-square, Manchester ; Messrs. Gibson and Bright, the members fur the borough during the late parliament, were received with great cheering ea their arrival at the hustings, whilst the manifestations of applause which greeted Meisrs. Loch and Denman, their opponents, were completely drowned in • storm of blues and groans. Mr. Alderman WATKINS proposed the Right lion. Thos. Milner Gibson as a most fit and proper person to represent the borough. (Prolonged cheering.) Sir B. A unITAOIt seconded the nomination. Mr. M. 'tura, amidst loud and enthusiastic cheer ing, proposed Mr. John Bright as a fit and proper person to represent the borough. Mr. G. Witson having seconded the nomination of Mr. Bright, Mr. R. GARDNIIR proposed Mr. George Loch as a fit and proper representative of Manchester. (Loud cheers and groans.) Mr. B. CAWLIY, CB., seconded the nomination of Mr. Loch, and Mr. Triunes Ocala proposed Captain Denman. (Cheers, groans, sod hisses_..) Mr. STai-HRN IiZELIS SIC coded this nomination. Mr. It. N. PHILLIPS said the supporters of Captain Den man and Mr. George Loch had taken a technical objection to the proposal of Mr. Bright by Mr. Mark Phillips, a former member. He, therefore, begged to propose Mr. Bright again. (Great cheering.) Mr. ()Ithaca WILSON again seconded the nomination of Mr. Bright. The Right Hon. T. MILNER GIBSON was received with loud demonstrations of applause, mingled with hisses and groans from the left. He said—Electors of Manchester, we shall save time if you will give every gentleman a fair hearing. I will not occupy you long but as I am here as a matter of duty, I hope you will induce all to keep quiet. (Tumultuous cries.) This is the fourth time that I have had the honour of appearing upon the hustings of Man chester. Three times have you elected me ; I come now to ask at your hands approbation of my conduct in the past, and that you will confer your confidence on me for the future. It is said that, having represented this important constitu ency for eleven years, I have not represeated tho opinions of the majority of the electors, and having done my duty to the best of my ability, having done my utmost to promote the cause of commercial freedom, it is now said that that gnat question being settled, I ought to be turned out, and sent about my business. Now I ask this question : has Manchester changed the opinion which it has held for the last 20 ears?y (No, no.) Have my hon. colleague and myself violated any pledges? Have we neglected our duties ? (No.) Then why, I ask, an you to be invited to turn no out? The gentlemen in the other booth have been saying something, but I have no idea what it refined to. They have the credit of being great divine,. (Laughter.) I believe it is said they are well versed in divinity ; but I don't come here in reference to that subject. I come here in re ference to taxes and to the franchise. I come here not to talk about your spiritual interests, but I come here to talk of your interests as free citizens. (Immense che e rin g .) I think it would be a good plan for the candidate to present himself at his nomination, with • bill hanging before him, upon which should be written all the questions he will vote for. (A laugh.) If I had a card on my neck hanging be 'ore me, you would see written upon it—extension of the suffrage, vote by ballot, equalising representation, and claim ing for the industrious, the commercial classes, an equal share in the government of England with the territorial aristocracy. What as now written upon the placards on the other aide? There is something about another world, but very little about this. I want to know what these gentlemen will vote for? They my they will vote against the ballot. They will support church-rates. ("And gusaling !") I am obliged to touch upon these subjects, because these gentlemen, under the name of whigs, have come here in alliance with the tories to turn us out of our seats. (Great tumult and interruption.) Are they Derbyites ? Now, I ask you, is free trade safe ? I doubt it. What says the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lan caster, a member of Lord Derby's gover nmen t ? li e says that he supporta Lord Derby because Lord Derby had not aban loped the corn laws. (Loud cheers.) JOHN BRIGIIT, Esq., then came forward, and was loudly cheered from one mass, and as loudly groaned and hooted at by another portion of the assemblage. He said, Mr. Mayor and Brother Electors,-1 stand here as a candi date for election as your repr:sentative in the coming par liament; and were I not conscious that during the fin years that I have represented Manchester in the House of Com mons I have done what I cou:d on behalf of your interests, and of the interests of our common country, I should be afraid to present myself to your verdict and to the judgment of this awful tribunal. (Cheers.) I do not feel it necessary to say much to this assembly of the constituency with regard to my opinions or to my political conduct—(cheers)—and it is quite clear that our opponents do net intend that any thing shall be heard here to-day. (Noise and interruption.) But, judging from the placards which have been circulated, and the statements which have been made by our oppo nents, there arc two points on which I will make a few observations. My right hon. colleague and myself have been changed repeatedly with sitting in the house of Commune or a liberal constituency, and with there opposing and thwarting the efforts of a liberal government. Now we never pretended to be unhesitating supporters of Load John Russell ; but if we are to blame that we did on some occasions oppose the late administration, how great must be the criminality and the guilt of gentlemen on the other side of the hustings, who for ten years past have been the un relenting opponents of Lord John Russell and his party. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) We are charged, too, not only wit hl having no religion ourselves, but with wishing to overthrow what is called the protestantism of this coon tn. We are for a perfect equality in religious matters. (Hear, hear.) Our opponents come before you in a very ambiguous character. They stand on the principles of the late administration, and are surrounded b men who always opp ose d th e l ate a d ministration. (hear) They seem to be political animals of a very am phibious character; they go ver y aw k war dl y on the land, but you cannot get them to take to the water. (Laughter and cheers.) We are, what we have always been, in favour of reform, and of that progress which the people of Man chester have so long supported ; and, if returned,—as I be lieve we shall be returned—(cheers)—you will find us in the coming parliament just as active, just as consistent, just as faithful, just as resolved to maintain your interest and your principle., as we have been in past times. Mr. LOCH then said—l am well aware, gentlemen, that the position to which I aspire is not only one of high hon our, but of great responsibility, It i s one to which I should not, without invitation, have thought to pretend. It • one from which I might well h ave s h run k under wain Q 4 corcutustaneee, even if invited so unanimously u has i s e n the case on the present occasion • but wh en I - ceived a requisition signed by 3:300 electors, aski rt „ . me to become their rand dat e , I did not hisitate at once to accede to the requisition, feeling I did the utmost sympathy with the sentiments which dictated that invitation. It has always !teemed to tor, gentlemen, • matter of grave regret, a matter which (Ansel' infinite difficulties to the course of safe and cautious bin„ lotion, that the great commercial and menulacturing tricts of the country should in so many cases appear to be identified with the extreme and speculative views which are expressed by their members. If this be true, met, men, as regards so important a constituency at Manchester and therefore believing as I did that your opinions were eve truly represented in the Commons House of Parliament, I bad the greatest pleasure in accepting an invitation ninth would afford the town an opportunity of vindicating principles ; and while Manchester declared that she sio still determined to adhere to all the benefits and blessings that had flowed from free trade, to and promote that system to the utmost, to pe rm , no abuses, no wrong to remain unredeemed, to Tam e our institutions both in church and st a t e , sti ll he won die, mined that should be done with cautious conservation those institutions. I am well aware, having been nominan4 by persons differing from myself in polities, it has ken incumbent on me throughout to take care that no Mu. take should exist as to my own political sentiments ) have Bum the beginning been a liberal and a retorts), in polities, and belonging to that school which has been represented oj Lord John Russell ; and had I teen is rudiment I would have supported the principles alvo. rated by Lord J. Russell, and such will continue to he my course. It was due, gentlemen, not alone to my supporters, but to myself and to the constituency, that there should he no mistake upon that subject. Fully determined ern I, pee. tlemen, that you should he sure that lam a free trader in the amplest sense of the word. Ere r since I was able to form a roe. vietion on the subject I have teen satisfied and convinced in the advantage of the principles of free trade to the pros. perity of the country, and all experience since that system has been established goes to showthat it has materiallyfteaded to advance the happiness and well-being of the country. We do not come down here, as Mr. Bright alleges, as borote, intending to oppose any class of our religious fellow sub. jests • it is not our intention, it is f ar from our wish, th at any Clans of our religious fellow subjects should be tub. jested to any disability or to any infliction. I should he among the first to defend their civil and religious liberties and rights—but it is my intention to support to the fuoi-a of my power the protestant institutions and civil and gioun liberties of this country against the aggressions of s foreign power with which our Roman catholic fellow sub jects are so unhappily associated. Captain DE MAN then came forward to addre,i, the assemblage. He was received with tremendous cheerier, and when it had subsided he said :—Mr. Mayor, and Kee. tors of Manchester,—having bean called upon to oasis• a vindicating the independence of the borough of Manche.. ter, I have come forward, and have thrown myself int , this great contest persuaded that principles of infinite iimslt. ance to this nation are at stake. (Loud cheers.) Corinne forward in that capacity, I consider it nay dui, to make my. self free and independent. (}tear, hear.) I bald an other under the crown which I must ever regard in having held as being a great honour. That office was given to me, gentlemen, as a reward for my public service.. It was up. solicited on my part ; and in that office I succeeded a gallant :admiral who last commanded the fleets of this country in battle—Sir Edward Codrington ; that office I held for life, but that I might come before you free and in dependent I resigned that office. (Bear.) I resheried th a t office, gentlemen, because I should go to parliament in op position to Lord Derby's government, and, gentlemen, in that sacrifice I have given you a guarantee of my deter mination to be fret and independent. (Cheers.) Gentle. men, I stand before you a thorough reformer inehorch and in state. It has been asserted that lam a member of a certain extreme party in the church. Gentlemen, I dsay it thoroughly. (Cheers and hooting.) It is a base flake of the enemy. lam prepared, gentlemen, to do my utmost to remove all abuses in the church, and, as I would in the state, place it upon a firmer basis, by removing those blemishes upon it which exist at this moment. (Cheers) Gentlemen, I will support the big loaf, and I viol support the law by which the poor man has time to eat it. (Cheers, and t' hear, hear.") I will give no half-and-half shuffling support to the Ten !lours Bill— will support it in all its integrity. (Continued cheering.) The Anti-Corn-law League was a great fact in this court try and it no doubt did hasten forward the great ona.tare which ban so enormously benefit. d you. But when that question was carried, the League nominally dissolved, and merely remained in the hands of a few persons, who assumed all the characteristics of a mere Jacobite club. (Loud cheering.) That club is endeavouring to ride down lour freedom of election. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I will , ay little more. I vindicate my claim to be a thorough liberal. I only ask you to replace your present members by gentle men whose opinions will carry some weight in parliament. (Cheers.) I only ask you to be early at the null toduorrov, and success is in your hands. (Loud cheers.) Vindicate your freedom. (Cheers.) Put an end to this domination, and show yourselves worthy of your great position before the country. The hon. and gallant captain concluded oral great cheering. Various questions having been asked, at half-past eleven o'clock the Mayor proceeded to take the show of hands, which he said he should do for each of the candidness in succession. He first called for a show of hands in favour of the Right llonourahle Thomas Milner Gibson. The square was densely filled from the hustings to Marken street, and could not contain fewer than from twelve to fourteen thousand persons. Taking the line of view Dos the centre of the hustings (a position occupied by the re• turning officer) to the large lamp in the centre of the square, those who lifted up their hands for the Right Il m T. M. bibson extended four yards to the left of that lit( of vision, giving him a majority of from two-thirds to three-fourths. The MAYOR then called for a show of hands in favour of John Bright, Esq. The same forest of hands appeared with the addition of a considerable number who stood yond the supporters of Messn. Loch and Denman, reach* front the Courier office backwards towards Market-street. A placard bearing the names of the respective candidates was prepared as signals, and to prevent confusion by those at a destance. In this instance the placard for Mr. Bright was elevated, and the majority in his favour was certainly not leas than three-fourths of the entire concourse. The MAYOR next called for the show of hands in favour of George Loch, Esq. The space they occupied was on the left of the hustings, and extended from the wall to a lice opposite the third support in front of the hustings, the whole number of supports being eight. They extended backwards a little further than the large lamp, beyond which were the friends of Messrs. Gibson and Bright. • The MAYOR next called for 'the show of hands in favour of the Hon. Capt. Denman. The hands held up sere the same as for Mr. Loch, being from oue-fouith to one-third of the whole. The MAyog—l declare the show of hands to be in favour of the Right Ron. Thomas Milner Gibson and John Bright, Esq. A sterns of the moot thrilling cheirs followed this ac nouncement ; and being fully signified to the moving ma". they expressed their enthusiasm by clapping of hand , . waving of hats, and even throwing them in the air, the 01.• posits party appearing to be almost annihilated. Mr. T. P. Busviso then came forward towards Mayor, ►nd said I demarA a poll en behalf of lieirr Loch, Esq., and the Ron. Captain Denman. After a vote of thanks to the Mayor the proceeding , ter minated. Iv, they vindicating ' - vecieral Charier. NIACCLESFIELD. The nomination took place yesterday i in the mar ket-place, the hustings occupying a position n (rant of the Town-hall. The immense market square was filled with a dense crowd as early as 9 o'clock, although the nomination was fixed a fuU hour later. Mr. JOHN FIRTH, the Mayor, opened the proceeding precise!, .110 o'clock. Mr. JOHN COOK proposed John Brocklehurst, Esq one of the late members. Mr. Jour, SMITH seconded the to rnination. Mr. JOHN SMITH, of Langley, nominated John William• ER., of London, the other late member. Mr. Jean WRIGHT seconded the proposition. Mr. FUNKY WAkI LI proposed Edward Chrirtopha Egerton, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent th. borough in parliament. Mr. W. Bauxarr seconded thx nomination. There being no other candidate, Mr. I3HOCKLEHURST presented himself, anal said the dissolution of parliament had occurred in consequence of pledge that the country should be appealed to on the quer ' don of the corn laws, anal the electors had this day to do their duty on the most vital question be ever appealed to them upon from the hustinga of Macclesfield. (Hear! That question was, whether there should be a House of Commons to again put a tax upon bread, or whether there should he a final decision against it. (Cheers.) Why this war the very question which lies at the bottom of all social com forts; and if they and the constituencies of England did their duty there would be a House of Commons that would settle the question for ever. (Cheers.) It was for the electors to say whom they would choose to speak their di, men on this point. The grounds on which he presented himself were these—he was no mere protester against me nopoly, he had voted against at. (Applause.) They tied the guarantee of his past votes, and, unless he was faithle ,, to his past conduct as well as pledges, he should follow of those votes. (Cheers.) In 1842 he voted in oppositimi to the corn laws, and in 1846 he was in the glorious nee jority of 92 which decided the question—he hoped for ere' The duty on corn was to cease in 1819; and for a penoti certainly protestion was overthrown, and lay as quirt if ever lunch lay. (Laughter.) It was in 18.12 that he il" 4 showed signs of returning animation. He then for the hest time lifted one foot, and by and bye Lord Derby came teeth to tell them it was alive again. For his own part hr did not believe it it was but • phantom—and he hoped . the constituencies would now finally decide the question. 'they were sure of his (Mr. Br uc kl e h u r s t' s ) vote, if they t hought proper again to send him to parliament, for the ystinctioe of the corn laws and all other taxes which might .tri the food of the people. (Loud cheers.) Ile w "' briefly explain the grounds on which he eared himsill Twenty years ago they hail a better silk trade tnau they had now, and that trade being threatened by an alteration of the duties, he (Mr. Brocklehuret) was appointed a de' legate to watch their interests, end endeavour to a!rrt the injury with which they were threatened.
