THE KAFFIR WAR.-CONTINUANCE OF The General Screw Steam Shipping Company's vessel, Hellespont, Captain Watts, arrived at Ply mouth yesterday (Sunday), at ono o'clock, from the Cape of Good Hope. 'fbis fine vessel left Plymouth, on her outward voyage, March 16 ; St. Vincent, March 29; Sierra Leone, April 3; and arrived at the Cape of Good Hope, April 23. On her return voyage she left the Cape of Good Hope, May 2; Sierra Leone, May 18; and St. Vincent, May 24. The Hellespont brings home mails from the Cape, Sierra Leone, and St. Vincent, and a full general eargo, principally wool, from the Cape. All her bertha were taken some days before her leaving Table Bay, and the following came home in her :—From thi Cape :—The Hon. John Montagu, the secretary to the government, Mrs. Montagu, three children, and two servants ; the Rev. Mr. Fliescher, Mrs. Fliescher, and two children; Mr. and Mrs. Moore, Mr. and Mrs. A. de Pass and two children, Miss Irvin and two Masters Irvin, Mr. Bensussn, Mr. Wagner, Muter Shand, two Muters Fraser, and Mr. and Mrs. Defas and two children. From Sierra Leone :—The Rev. A. W. H. Hanson, her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Liberia; Capt. Poicters, 3rd West India Regiment ; Lieut. Lees, 2nd West India Regiment ; Mr. Take, Paymaster of the Forces; Mr. Kidd, Mr. Lawrence ; Sergeants-Major Kelly and Swift, and Sergeant Dillon and nine men of the 2nd and 3rd West India Regiments. 'fhe Hellespont brings 13 days' later intelligence from the Cape than her Majesty's steam-vessel Gla diator, which arrived at Portsmouth a week since; and from the frontier with intelligence to 19 days subsequent to the departure of Sir Harry Smith. The mails were landed from the Hellespont and re ceived by Mr. Markes, the postmaster of Plymouth, at two o clock. The contents of the mail would be sorted at Plymouth and forwarded by the evening mail to all parts of England. By this means the letters and papers for Manchester, Liverpool, and the north, will be delivered a day earlier than they would had themails been forwarded from Plymouth to London unsorted. The Plymouth post-office establishment has been enlist-lea and the staff in creased for the purpose of meeting emergencies like the present. On the Ist of May there were in Simon's Bay her Majesty's steamer Hydra, her Majesty's steamer Rhadamantlius. her Majesty's sloop Penguin, her Majesty's brig Rapid. bee Majesty a ship &rings patam, Maryen Hillegonds, Odessa.Gevalia. In Table Bay the following vessels :—Her Maesty's steamer Styx, 6 guns, royal mail steamer Hel lespont, Fetter cairn (steamer), Tudor, William Gillies, Sophia M'Kenzie, Nemesis, Frederick Huth, Science, Esse quibo, Ramillies, Caroline, Island Home, Ajax, Elizabeth, Beale Vuc, Faithful, Meg Lee, Lavinia, Wanderer, Jane, Vasco de Game, Ruthenia, Cleo patra, Ceres, Rachel, Gem, Emma, Exile (Am.), The Megrera, Commander Barlow, left Table Bay April 13, and was passed by the Hellespont at St. Vincent, May 24. May 18.—Her Majesty's brig Crane was at Sierra Leone. May 3rd, passed a barque under American colours, supposed to be the Springbok, 40 miles north of Table Bay. June 4, passed the schooner Kate Robertson, lat 47.40 N., long. 90 W. The following concise statement of the most im portant points in the news by this arrival is in effect the account given by one of the passengers, who came over in the Hellespont. The Kaffir" had rallied throughout the Amatolas, and had gone back to the Waterkloof. where Ma como is in command. and has been joined by a large number of rebel Hottentots. The Kaffir" are as much unsubdued as ever, and fight with as much fierceness and energy as ever, It was thought the policy of General Cathcart would soon tell power fully upon them. He had directed that the cattle of the Kaffir. should not be captured, but destroyed. One of the most important actions of the last tew weeks had been the capture of two coun cillors of the hostile chief Stock, who had been known to have sought to corrupt some of the friendly chiefs. They had been brought to King William's Town, and had been ordered to be hanged by General Cathcart, and the gallows for that purpose had been erected, and appeared to have been regarded with terror by the Kaffir& General Cathcart hat met with an accident by a fall from his hone, and had injured his head, which had dis abled him for a few days. On the 26th of April he was to leave King William's Town for Fort Beaufort, and was to attack the Kaffir" and Hottentots in the Waterkloof on the 29th, leading and directing the troops in perm. As Mariano's force was very con siderable, the action is expected to be a very severe one. The troops were generally healthy and in high spirit'. A correspondent at Cape Town, writing under date of May the 2nd, says General Cathcart is proceeding with a degree of determination and energy that will very soon, I have no doubt, bring matters on the frostier to a termination. * The Cope Tow,.

No very recent moventeat is reported, but letters before m give an account of one of the smarest affairs with the enemy which we have Lad to record during the war, is which the 6th li,gionnt, under Colonel Nicht I, behaved, as they have always done in the numerous affairs 1 in which they have been engird with the eons), in a way that entitles that corps, officers end men, to high commend, tion. It Is only lust to say of Colonel Michel that he has throughout approved himself to be a truly gallant, zea lous, and very able other. It may in fact be said of the British force new Ischia country, that, like the Doke's Peninsular army, "they have learned to know their enemy—they dare anything, and have become Invincible." It is further stated that on. of Stock's Amapakati or Councillors had been detected tampering with Pato, and inciting him to war. This spy had been seized, and it is said was ordered by the Commander.in-Chief to be hanged; but having undertaken to make certain disclosures, and to lead a mili tary party to the haunt of the thief Seyolo, his life had I been spared on condition that he proved himself entitled to mercy by the fulfilment of his promises. We are Informed that, since the date of the ahoy* letter, a party has arrived here from King William's Town, who states that the governor has had reason to doubt the since rity of the Kafirr above mentioned, and that his Excellency is musing a gallows to be erected for the percale of hang ing Aim. We also understand that Line Drift is to be opened immediately, and that 400 men are to be stationed they.. King William's Town, April 23. Col. Michel's brigade had a very smart brush with the enemy on the 17th April, in the corner of the basin nearest to Fort Cos. The enemy mustered very stroag. One company of the 6th and one of the Hines were on the left flank, well covered by rocks. While the main body were moving to take a fresh positi3a to the right front, the two companies became severely en• gaged, and for some time no advantage was gained by either aide, until a sub-divisioc of the Bth light company, making a desperate charge, drove the enemy with heavy loos from their positions. Eight were killed by the bayonet, and one man, named Kelly, captured a musket reedy capped and loaded by dashing out a Kalar's brains with the butt of his pieee. During this time the colouel ordered a eompsny of Rifles into ambush, aid to wait till he ordered them to arise. The minima moved ci when Our Kann thought all was clear they nun on it the purpose 01 having a few parting shots; but ape. their arrival within 100 yards of the company of Rifles they received a volley, which drove them headlong down kande.% Ike., leaving some 20 killed, besides others wounded. It is tanned in • comeannicatioa before us that the go vernor M person purposes to proceed with the military party who are to go with the Haar spy, with the view of surprising Sandilli in his hiding-place. His Excellency was to start at 3 o'clock in the morning at the head of a large cavalry patrol. From Lower Albany we have report of thirty oxen hav ing been carried off from Mr. Robev's at Menley's Flat, 10 miles south of Graham's Town. Them cattle were taken by Hottentot banditti, supposed to be the same that attacked this waggons, dangerously wounding Mr. M'Arthur, while proceeding along the Howie road, as reported in our last issue. Information has been received that ammo has offered to surrender to General Somerset—but to as ooe else. We insert with much pleasure the following account of a spirited affair in Lower Albany: Cawood's Poet, April 26, 1832.—0 n Saturday, 24th inst., the burghers from the different camps were as usual patroling between the Cap and Fish River, when they tame on the spoor of • party of the enemy (about 20) en tering the colony. We returned to camp about sunset. About half-pest 6 an express arrived with intelligence that the enemy had swept off all Mr. Wm. Claytoa'scattle, 100 in number. Homes were saddled, and we were off like • shot, and by 8 o'clock all the paths between Clay Pits and Fish River Mouth were guarded; but the enemy were not allowed to get so far before they were surprised and fired oa by one of the small wa)laybag parties. One Hottentot was shot dead, and the whole of the cattle recaptured, and one gun. They were all rebel Hottentots ; the capturing party were only three in number. (From the Fromlier Titan, April 27.) A party of School Kaffir. at King William's Town were lately surprised by a party of nine mounted Hotteutots, looking like Cape Corps, who approached them as friends and then fired upon them, killing two and wounding another. This occurred about four miles from King Wil liam's Tow.. A party of armed Kettles had also succeeded in stealing about three spans of oxen from that place. a ., Intelligent., has reached town that three w es were proceeding towards Mr. Mc Luckie's farm, In c sal' of three persons, cis. an Englishmen. newid M s , • Hottentot, sad a Fii;ito, who were endinely Seed upon at Vaal Vley by a party of fifteen HlManww, wise wounded Mc Artey is the groin, upon which be was onmpellod to abandon his wagon which was ON* by the monsoders, who also drove Off the oxen.

Mr. W. ()GOLD, M.P., said he felt it his duty, as one of the representatives of an important Irish county, to attend on this occasion, more particularly as be kad seen in the newspapers a correspondence between the commis ' sioners and the Mayor of Limerick, respecting Australian emigration. He hoped that whilst acting upon safe rules they would still set liberally towards Ireland, so as rather to divert the stream of Inch emigration front America to our own colonies, where still greater prrsperity was offered to the industrious man. Mr. MURDOCH, the chief commissioner, began by saying that it was the snxioua desire of himself and his col.esgues to give the most respectful consideration to any represents them emigration to Australia, front a body of redeem se ty interested in the welfare of the Aus- Vaal 410111111illi as those he saw before him, and that he was much gratified to find from all that had been said, that there was no difference between the objects advocated by the:deputation and those which the commissioners had in view; that the commissioners had always felt and stated, and had repeated, perhaps segue ad naturant, that in the administration of the funds entrusted to them they acted as trustees for the colony, and were hound to consider principally, if not exclusively, colonial interests ; and that, as the commissioners had no desire to conceal or mystify any of their proceedings, he would e n d eavour , e ven a t th e risk of being tedious, to explain to the deputation what had been done, was in progress, and was contemplated re specting emigration to Australia. He then referred to the recommendation received from Sir C. Fitzroy shortly niter the discovery of gold in New South Wiles ; that emigra tion would be stoppe d _to that colony, and to the conic gut nt sending to Moreton Bay, instead of Sydney, the ships destined for that portion of the colony. He stated ' that at that time the funds in the commissioners' hands on account of Now South Wales amounted to only 15,0001., all of which was expended in the Moreton Hay emigration before the end of April last ,• that up to the end of April the commissioners had received no authentic intelligence of any further grant from New South Wales towards emigra tion, although they had seen en extract on the subject from a private letter in a newspaper ; that, nevertheless, in con sequence of the assurance which they received from a de putation on the 28th Awil, that money had actually been raised in New South Wales for that purpose, they at once applied to the Secretary of State for leave to renew emigration. In regard to Port Phillip he stated that at the end of last year, having been informed that there was a great emigration in progress from that co lony to New South Wales, the commissioners made a great effort to supply the gap so crested; that they accord ingly relaxed the rules so as to admit of [Amities with more young children, and extended the age at which parents could be taken from 40 to 45 ; that in consequence of these relaxations and the exertions which they bad made, the commissioners had been able to send out in the ' month of December last 1,900 emigrants, and that they bad endeavoured eines that time to keep up an equal stream ; that, in order to do so, they had despatched or chartered since the Ist January 42 ships ; that, in addition to the emigrants whom they had sent out since that date, they had at present in the office either accepted emigrants or applications to the extent of 7,000 persons ; hut that their great difficulty lay in procuring ships. That, in conse quence of the very large unassisted emigration now in pro. green, there being 15 private ships in the docks in Liver pool, and 28 in London, the freight had risen most seriously, and that, unless it fell again, the number which the funds in the hands of the oommissioners would send out would be eery much reduced. That, in the hope of getting ship*, the commissioners had sent their advertisements for tenders to all the principal porta in the United Kingdom, and were endeavouring to establish a depot in the colonies. Ile then proceeded to notice the suggestions of the various members of the deputation. In regard to taking an engagement from emigrants not to apply for a gold license, but to de vote themselves to agricultural or pastoral occupations, after stating the difileulties which ho apprehended in enforcing each an engagement, he stated that the commissionen would not object to the principle of it, and would be happy to consider with the gentlemen who had proposed it the manner in which it might be best carried out. That, as far as regarded hiring in this country, the commissioners offered no objection to it, but would willingly give plunges for eligible emigrants going out under agreement to Ronde men in the colonies. That they had for some months been act ing on the principle of not giving passages to single men except when forming part of a family or under very special circumstances, both on account of the great excess of men in the colony, and because single men were the most likely to go to the gold fields; and in regard to female emigation, he stated the great difficulty of procuring eligible and respect able females from this country. With reference to the objections taken to female emigrants from the workhouses of Ireland, he read a despatch from Bir W. Denison, show ing that some 400 young women drawn from those work houses, and sent out in the course of last year, had been found very teachable and well-conducted, and that, in con sequence of their good conduct, many more had been applied for than the colony had received. Mr. LOGAN, in reference to what had fallen from Mr. De Solis and Mr. Murdoch, observed that he apprehended little difficulty in effecting formal agreements with emi grants in this country and enforcing them in the colonies. A precedent had already been established and recognised by the government in the cases of French and German oigne eons and other foreign labourers, whose passages, under certain circumstances, were paid from colonial funds, end all of wheat went out nadir specific engagements. He had not heard of any breaches of faith in such instances; ea the contrary, he believed the erratic. had proved successful. A desultory masesmilisa them leek place, is the course of which the aommiedeases impressed their anxiety to en tertain every remeasidie es well as their strong desire to carry eat ups principles most condu cive to the metes of °sleeks. It was daelly haimated by Mr. Evelyn Denison that it was the wish ad the deptstatton [that Mr. De Sails should *paha with the heard se as to arrange the details of the aningeateatt them sampeated. THE ELECTIONS. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. MR. DISRAELI AND HIS CONSTITUENTS. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has issued the following address to the also:ton of the county :of Buck impala : ' Gendeless,—l take the op it of returning to the county ft him yen Maces tie disolution of parliament, whisk M eheeds impechei, I shall again solicit the dis dain et Wag isember, an honour which you ham terim y confined on me. 'The ameba is critical, aad it is as wan to disentangle, from the misrepresentations of ignorant or interested per sons, what is real), at stake. " in 1842, Sir Hobart Peel, at the bead of the conserva tive party, converted a considerable and continuous defi ciency ia the public revenue into a surplus, by the imposi tions of an inteme-taz, which also permitted him greatly to mitigate our tar& " Than maws realised all the success which the con servative pert_ y_ anticipated fkmi them. In the co of four years 7,00h,0001. ofcustome duties were repealed, with oat materially diminishing the revenue derived from that branch, and no domestic interest in the country suffered hthe change. The prineiples on which these alterations were effected were the removed of all prohibitions, the reduction of duties to such a male as admitted ' fair competition' with domestic produce, and the free admission of all raw matetiah. 41ted the istidsetica of *dm for these measures in ttempimp with then gpmelemen woe hew honour the pre sent jevernment with Mak supers. Owe the bar yawti doing with 1846, during which the eimeerrative party caurifel these wise and beneficial meemsres, We la our commercial system have Wien free intsefiestion of foreign corn and of dil 4r w arl i r r th . s . a s z=neente was not originally con templated in the yelley of Sir Robert Peel, for he the repeal cif libis WS laws within a few yto his abrogating then.

The distress of the agricultural classes has been admitted, eimenneed, and deplored from the throne, older the abbe of a whig ministry; and the con sequences of the dangles of the sugar duties were so dis astrous to set feerpredneing colonies that, within two years aßer the paring of the act of 1846, a whig ministry also found it to modify their own measure. " The sufferings of the agricultural and colonial classes bays arisen bem their being thrown into unlimited comps titieswidt the fliseismg en emegsai terms with the rest of their froerr sewer Timm =scud conditions result in I Irm a measures from the pastier imposts and the vexatious regulations to which our egreleultural end sugar-producing industries are subject. The IMO precipitation which attended the repeal of the protective duties on corn and sugar accompanied the repeal of the navigation laws. Even the Proposenof that measure no* admit that ' the shipping interest, exposed to severe rivalry, is subject to burdens and restrictions which impede Its prosperity. Thu as the language of the minister who himself re pealed the navigation laws, and yet left the burdens and restrictions who la impede the prosperity of our mercantile ovine. This opinion will be found in the recent address of Lord John Russell to his constituents. That address de serves the attentive study of the shipping interest. " Her Majesty's ministers would consider these burdens and reetrictioss with a view to their removal. . . " The ferment hitherto have been tho pumas who have I been most injured by the repeal of the corn laws, but the diminution of rent In Great Britain is greeter than is gene rally supposed. In preparing the financial statement for this year, it was officially represented to me, that I mut contemplate, in estimating the produce of the income tar, a diadautioa of rout red much lees is amount than 6,000,0004. sterling. Practically speaking. in this country, rent has become a return for the capital invested in the im provement of land. Lows to secure a return for such in vestment are not for a moment to be tolerated, but laws w►ich, by imposing unequal taxes, di , courrige that invest-' I meat, are, Irrespective of their injustice, highly impolitic far nothing eentributes more to the enduring prosperity of a country than the natural deposit of its surplus espial in , the improvement of its Et. Justice to the land, in ell and a tetna x i t . s f r. fin i a r r ba , t is it eval id ly so th eciu u in iu teres , community. •"fhere is no portion of the United Kimplom that hss sof fermi more from the precipitate repeal of the corn law! than t t he of interest tll proprietor of the Irel .nd. The claim of that country to the consideration of parliament is irresistible. "The time has gone by when the injuries which the great producing interests endure can be alleviated or r.,moved by a recurrence to the laws which, previously to 1816, pro ' teeted them from such ealaroiti , a. The spirit of the age tends to free intercourse, and ao 'talesman can disregard with impunity the gi Rim, of the epoch in which he lives. But sleety principle of abstract justice and every considera tion of high policy counsel that the producer should be treated as fairly as the consumer, and intimate that when the native producer is thrown into unrestricted competi tion with external rivals it is theduty of the iqilluturi. in every way to diminish, certainly Rot to inc rease, the cost of production. " It is the intention of her Majesty's ministers to recom mend to parliament, as soon as it is in their power, mea sures which may effect this end. "One of the soundest romms,'among others, by which this result may be accomplished is a revision of our taxation. Ties times are favourable to such an undertaking; ju•iter notions of taxation are mole prevalent than heietidore ; powerful agencies arc stirring, which have introduced new phenomena into finance, and altered the complexion a the fiscal world; and c‘e possibility of greatly relieving the burdens of the community, both by adjustment and reduc tion, seems to loom in the future. "'But nothing great can be effected by any ministry un less they arc supported by a powcrful majority i n parlia ment. Our predecessors were men who, for personal honour and administrative ability, need not shrink from a MIDI ,ari ion with any body of individuals qualified to serve her Majesty, but they were sure of a parliamentary majo rity ; hence much of their unsatisfactory conduct. They were justified, from the broken state of parties, in th eir continuance in °Mee, which they never ev i nce d any un worthy readiness to retain • but it is far from desirable that such indulgence thsuld become a chronic weakness of our constitution. " In the brief period during which we have held the reins, although placed in a position of great emlsarr unient, from the impossibility of at once appealing to the country, we have intro lucid three measures, which it is hoped will soon become the law of the land. One is a measure of internal defence, which, it is believed, will soon prove both popular, economical, and efficient; the second would confer on an ieteresting and important colony a constitution founded on the right principles which should govern dependencies; the third will at length achieve a complete reform of the Court of Chancery. "There was a fourth measure which we proposed. Two petty boroughs, long infamous for corruption, had been justly and wisely disfranchised. We recommended to parliament that these forfeited seats should be transferred to two of the most important communities of the country, distinguished not only for their vast wealth and teaming po pulation, but by all the enduring elements of national greatness. .A combination of parliamentary sections de feated, on a technicsl pretext, this wise and generous pro position, which would have added strength and lucre to the House of Commons, and have asserted the popular principle in a enasner consistent with that maiutenenee of elsases which becomes a free and ancient monarchy, and which is the best security for order and liberty. " The time of the House of Commons has been much occupied of late by a discussion, whether the management of the Itomon Catholic College of Maynooth r. quint in vestigation. Without prejudging the question, her Majesty'. ministers have felt it their duty to support such an inquiry. We have been anxio us t o subdue the heat of religious con troversy, and to deal impartially with all her Majesty's subjects whether in communion with the church of Home or the church of England; but we cannot sanction an opi nion now in vogue, that since the act of 1829 the constitu ' tion of this country has ceased to be protestant. liy the act of settlement, our form of government is that of a pro testant monarchy; and it is our belief that the people of this country are resolved so to maintain it, not only in form, but in spirit. Various schemes have been devised for the extension and improvement of the education of the people; and, among others, a measure was proposed by an intelligent community, during the present session of parliament, to the principles of which we could not accede. The only princi ple in the present diversity of religious opinion which seems to be just, is that of encouraging the voluntary effertli of the several religious bodies by grants of public money in pro portion to the extent to which those efforts have been made. In asserting for all this universal right, we claim for the church, the national depository of sacred truth, that tho freedom of her efforts in the cause of education should not be fettered by regulations and restrictions which arc not required to afford security for a due application of the public funds. " I have touched, gentlemen, on most of the topics which now engage the attention of the country. They are not mean issues. The country will have to decide whether it will maintain a ministry formed on the principles of conservative progress ; whether it will terminate for over, by just and conciliatory measures, the misconcepti, ns which have too long prevailed between producer and consumer, and ex tinguish the fatal jealousy that rankles between town and country ; whether our colonial empire 'hall he maintained and confirmed ; whether the material development of Ire land shall at length be secured; whether such alterations as time and circumstances may appear to justify and require in the construction of the House of Commons shall be made in that spirit of revolution which has arrested the civiliza• tion of Europe, or in the spirit of our popular, though not democratic, institutions; whether the church of England shall still remain a national church; whether the crown of England shall still be a protestant crown. I believe that the county of Buckingham is not in doubt on these beads, and therefore I appeal to you with confi dence for your support. I cannot vie with the patriots and the statesmen whom, for so many generations, you have sent up to parliament ; but I will promise you this, on my own part and that of my colleagues, that, if public opinion ratify the choice of our gracious sovereign, we will earnestly en deavour that the honour and the interests of the country shall not suffer by our administration. " I remain, gentlemen, your obliged friend and servant, Hughenden Manor, June 2." *. B. DISRAELI. WESTMINSTER. A meeting of the electors of Westminster resident in the Inward of St. George, Hanover-square, was held on Friday last at Weippert's Rooms, Davies-street, Grosvenor square, to hear from Sir John V. Shelley a declaration of his political opinions ; HIRST GROROB ROBINSON, Esq., in the chair. Sir Jong SHELLEY rose and addressed a crowded and attentive audience ; and, after adverting to the circum stance of a previous meeting having been postponed in con sequence of the death of his father, entered fully into an enunciation of his opinions on the leading political topics of the day. With regard to the suffrage, he desired to see • groat extension, but which extension would, in his opinion, be a mockery unless it was protected by the ballot, which was tits only way in which the mechanic, and tradesman especially, could exercise that privi lege with safety and Independence. (Loud cheers.) With regard to free trade he was its determine and un flinching advocate, not only by his speeches and printed addressee in Westminster , bat by his continued exertions in the agricultural districts with which he was connected, by enlightening the minds of his own tenantry, and sup porting liberal candidates in various provincial constitu encies. As a Sussex squire and • large landowner, an ex tansies oceupier, and practical farmer, he would declare that free trade worked well for him, and if it did not do so for others the fault lay with themselves. If be should be so fortunate as to take his seat for Westminster, he should, in addition to these reforms, do all in his power to shorten the duration of parliament—it would be a.ike neficial to members of par lia ment and their constituents—the former often neglected hie duty until nearly the expiration of his seven yesn' term, and the latter too frequently became for getful of theirs, for want of shorter reckonings with their representatives. (Haar, boar.) He was decidedly opposed to any .grant from the public purse for other than secular uses. Should he become their member, he should take much pleasure in promoting all municipal end parochial reforms. Notwithstanding the fact that many members of parliament considered this • degradation, he, on the con trary, should consider it • pleasure as well as • duty ; and he would live amongst them, setting aside • day or two in every week, when his constituents would have ready access to him. With these sentiments he trusted he would be favourably received by this large meeting, 1111 he had been by the eight other parishes In Westminster waom be had had the honour to address. He did not come before them with any high oratorical pretensions, but could declare himself an honest man, saying nothing but whit he really thought, and if returned he would serve them with fidelity. (Cheers.) A vote of confidence was then moved by Mr. WRIOHT Noce, seconded by Mr. JAKRe SMITH, and carried with one dissentient. Thanks were voted to the chairman. and the meeting, which wan numerously attended, then adjourned. YARMOUTH. On Thursday evening last, a meeting of electors was held in the Corn Exchange, ibr the purpon of hearing addresese from Admiral Sir Charles Napier and T. M'Cullagh, Esq., M.P. the liberal candidates for the repro mutation of the town.

He alluded te the declaration of the head of the present administration that he would reverse that policy impairing that he obtained • majority in the next House of Commons, and urged upon the electors the duty of returning representatives who would support the liberal policy of the country and the principles of parliamentary reforin. Admiral Sir C. NAPIIa then nee, and was received with loud and prolonged cheering and applause. He said— I have bad a tolerably e x tensi v e caneass of the t o w n , an d although I was told when I first reuse that the requisition, although sigma by 337 persons, was nothing more than a picas of humbug, got up an..order that parties might profit by • contest, yet I must say that to the apotlit of Yarmouth the whole of the nriitisitioniata, with the exception of ten,
