I haaaasow—Z *ram& aa. 4;m6 LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 6. Now that we are in the vortex of the Ge neral Election it behoves us to call to mind a few of the Great Facts by which the contest should be influenced. The Anti-Free-Trade party are in the field asking for public confidence. Let us, then, glance at a few of the results of the system which the Derbyitcs have so long . opposed, and will yet overturn if opportunity is given them for so doing. First amongst the moral improvements which have resulted from Free Trade we may direct attention to the decrease of pauperism. The reports of the Poor-law Commissioners state that the total •umber of paupers relieved in England and Wales in 1441 was 1,209,048. and the total number of able bodied paupers relieved about the same period was 411,800. Now these totals were in 1851, according to returns recently laid before parliament, 833,380 and 137,318. But as the latter returns do not in clude the parishes under GILBERT'S Act and under special acts, and the former do, we must add a tenth to the latter to make the comparison fair. They will then stand thus: whole number of paupers at the end of 1851, 918,898; able-bodied paupers, 151,050. At the two periods the contrut is as follows: Paispen relieved in England and Wales. Able-bodied. Total. 1811 18;1 918,896 Miceowe .... 260,840 3t:0,152 Thus the decrease in able-bodied paupers in 1831 as against 1641, was no les than 63 per cent.; and the decrease in the total number of paupers was nearly 30 per cent. But in that period the popula tion of England increased about 12 per cent., and thus the relative decrease in proportion to population is so much greater than the actual decrease. An additional return for the last kalf-year has been laid before parliament within these few days which is peculiarly valuable as comprising, under the signature of Sir loan Taottnee, the facts and the deductions that were before authenticated by the signature of Mr. BA LS. What is remarkable in this return is, that while the reduction of able-bodied paupers is large in almost all the counties, the greatest reduction is in Bucks, Essex, Dorset, and other agricultural counties—being as much in the first named as Vper cent. All these are reductions, it must he remembered, on great previous reductions. In the Welsh counties there is a slight increase, for which we are unable to account, and there is a slight increase also in the county of Chester. In all the other counties there is a considerable decrease this half-year on the lessened number of paupers in the former rear. The Tories may venture at the hustings to repeat one of their old quibbles. They ms insinuate that the diminution of pauperism in En g l an d and Wales is all due to the famine in Ireland. The important fact is that pauperism continued to increase from 1841 to 1848, when—as Mr. PAauLEy, in his work on "Pau perism and the Poor-laws", has observed—it reached Its maximum. Sines 1848, we have had a free trade in food; and to that especially—to the unrestricted , importation of 30,000,000 quarters of grain in the last three years—is to be attributed the reduction of pauperism. No other measure, no financial con trivance, no commercial improvement, effectually abated pauperism till the pressure of the bread taxes was removed from the food of the multitude. Bread I became cheap; trade active; and workhouses empty. Another moral result of cheap food is apparent from The criminal returns. The number of commitments in 1841 was 27,760 ; and they reached the maximum in , 1842, 31,309. In 1843 they declined, and, exactly like pauperism, declined very considerably in 1844 5-6. I In 1817.8 they again increased considerably, obvi candy influenced by the same causes as pauperism— i to fall in 1850 to 24,813, or 947 less than in 1841. i When we take into consideration the improvement in our detective polite regulations in the last ten years, and the increase of population, 12 per cent., we are led to the conviction that the proportional decrease of commitments like that of pauperism has been very great, and has resulted from free trade in food. It is remarkable that there was an increase of commitments and pauperism in 1848, and that it is since we had free importation and abundance of food that crimes against property have begun sensibly to diminish. This great improvement is the copse (ence of the measures of 1846, which the Protec tionists abhor. The people instinctively follow the example of the legislature, and come to respect the property of others when their own property is respected. All the material and moral improvement we have so strongly adverted to—the recovery of the remeas—the great increase of consumption—the wonderful augmentation of business—the increase of wealth sad comfort, and the decrease of .pan perigee and crime, are the results of eompag s a i tr e e e lz see trade. And as some persons are from the Intoner in which Parliamentary Reform has beep spoiled and its benefits impeded by the Whigs, to say Reform conferred no benefit whatever on the nation—we must remind them that the Re form Bill preceded Free Trade and without it they would not have been posithis. No Minister in= wrted by the representative@ of Birmingham, Manchester, Bradford, Fiesbary, &c., and supported by all the small boroughs ef Schedule A, would ever have dreamed of earring freairede in corn, or been Aim to malls such a deem had it ever entered his head. This we are laMtsd to Parliamentary Reims for lift Trade, and b Free Trade for the great iniraireammt is the natioeal mad moral conditional seay.

To great political convulsions abroad, tending to excite commotion here, there were added also in the ten years a great national visitation, and a great moral disturbance. A disease attacked the potato, and the food of the Irish wea destroyed. Nobody estimated the pecuabry less by that calamity at less than 12,000,000 L We believe, including the partial but severe fames of 1845 and 1847, as well as the almost total failure of 1846, that the total loss was nearer 20,000,0001. Falling on a community previously in a destitute and disorganised eoaditioo, it rained a large branch of the empire. We doubt if out of Asia any example is to he found in modern times of so many persons perishing in a short period of famine and disclose as were cut off in Ireland between 1846 and 1630. Many labourers were extinguished, and a heavy drain missed on the resources of the empire. Mr. DISRAILI has found in these calamities groat advantages, which, according to his philosophy, and his statesmanship have mooned Free Trade from same wail-deserved odioni.To us they appear to be great drawbacks as the national prosperity, and to reflect additional lustre on the system which, in spite of them, has made the Empire contented and flourish- ma . It is the opponents of this system who are now before the country soliciting rotes for Lord DERBY. Rarely theme who are naw enjoying abundance will not think of strengthening the hands of the men who did all they could to limit industry and retain the Tai no Bread. The voters of the kingdom have now the national prosperity iq their power.

Less pleasing to the semi-official French journal is the announcement of the treaties concluded with King Dahomey, and the chiefs of the Bight of Benin. On t he se it observes : This is the enterprise being followed up ea* which was commenced by England twenty rune 4.1.1.6 which must place under her patroness all the 'Mb Sad all the sovereigns of Atrial, and plate in her loads Hle whole commies of this rich country. This deelssadaa ado English government will be a subject of alma fir war raw& time commerce, which is subjected On a eUmpulitiim au, sharp, and often so unfair on the part a the Ili Indere. It is also a 'abject of just regret, Kiss Ilkkawy laving loudly declared his intention to treat with Yaws ia pre. ferene• to England, an intention which has b Sail frus trated by a deplorable combination of eircumstimem. The lA:bats observes, that for Europe and the foreign powers the Queen of England's speech con tains nothing of importance, except the assurances of peace which are given to them, and of which the sincerity is confirmed by the explanations accom panying the announcement of the Militia Bill. On the other hand it regrets that the Derby ministry should have thought it necessary to proclaim of- 1 cially that the religion of the state is attacked and menaced by a confession, which for 300 years has been treated as vanquished on the other side of the channel, and which to her great honour England during a quarter of a century has been tending to relieve from the consequences of defeat. "It is pos sible," says the D4ats, " that the ministry has chosen, by hoisting this flag, a vantage-ground, but it is to be regretted that the eminent men who com pose it have thought proper to make this appeal to passions of which we do not deny the sincerity, but fear the violence." The Pays, speaking of the paragraph relating to the Militia Bill, says : However strange this provision may ..p pear, there is no thing in it to cause uneasiness when talon in connexion with the pacific declarations to be found in the first part of the royal speech. The Prise, after quoting the passage relative to the Militia Bill, adds---" It is long since the possi bility.of having to defend England against a foreign invasion had been mentioned in a speech of the crown. Some more details are published to-day concerning the gas-pipe plot u it is called but nothing has transpired, so far as I am aware, to prove that the fabrication of an infernal machine for the purpose of assassinating the President wu intended. The Adrie says, on the contrary, that the iron tubes were to be inserted among the stones of barricades, and to serve as a sort of artillery for those irregular fortifications. But they would have been probably, if employed, quite as dangerous to the parties who made use of such rude cannon, as to those for whose destruction they were devised, the breech of the bar rels being stopped with wood. It would seem that the dimensions of the tubes have been much exag gerated, as the DOloats states that they are about twa feet long, and two inches in diameter. There is a large touch-hole near the breech, which is stuffed with mastic, and plugged with wood. The wrap ping of tarred cloth seems a device borrowed from the wooden guns of Gustavus Adolphus, which were strengthened in this way. Eight barrels were found in the house of the Rae de la Reine Blanche, and four in the possession of people in other places. As to the personages who figure in this plot, the antstitu ' tionnel gives the following further details : The leaders of this ridiculous end contemptible attempt appear to be one of the persons who conducted the (bar OHM de Pavia, a man who had been a prisoner at Belle Isis, as es-lieutenant of artillery, and a tailor, who was is the isolated house where the plotters met to their new sort of artillery, made, has been stated, of pieces of gas-pipe. The es-editor is one of the pintoes arrested, es is the porter, and hie wife sad ma, the latter about twenty years of age. Two other women have also been taken into custody. The ex prisoner of Belle-Isle contrived to escape, but has sines bees retakes. In the course of yesterday a enter, two tailors, a emu tor, and a woman who had lived with a rasa ma at the Gobelins, were likewise arrested. At the ce of one of the insurgents of June, was found a trash beleagiag to the ex-lieutenant of artillery, containing I member of papen soesected with the plot.

The Mositeur condescends at last to mention the cue -pipe plot; but whether the affair be serious or no it is evidently the official cue to treat it as lightly . as possible, as you will perceive from the following brief notioce : The day before yesterday, at halfgeist five in the even ing, MM.

Our Paris correspondent, writing on Saturday, says: "The President, if I am rightlytnformed, is bent upon paying off an old debt to M. Thiers. Yon may remember that this statesman when foreign minister of Louis Philippe demanded from the Swiss govern ment the expulsion of M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte from the canton of Thurgovia, where the exiled rebel had enrolled himself in the army, and obtained the rank of lieutenant of artillery. The presence of M. Thiers at this moment in Switzerland has given the Prince Louis Napoleon an opportunity of turning the tables upon the ex-minister; and I hear that M. Ba- Effuse Fenelon, the French envoy at Berne, has re ceived instructions to make a formal application to the federal council for his expulsion from the terri to7 of the Helvetian republic." The Gazette de Lausanne brings us a confirmation of these intentions. It says: Oa the demand of the Federal Minister of Police and Justice the Council of State (Vaudoise execuive) his re solved to apply the federal arrete concerning French refugees to M. Thies, who is now residing at Vevey. M. Thies will lease the canton almost immediately. It is probably to prevent inch a proceeding in her case that the Duchess of Orleans has authorised the publication of the following declaration, which wo find in the Basle Gazette: Several journals have ascribed a political object to the presence of the Dachau of Orleans at the baths of Baden (in Aargau). I hays the honour to be charged with the care of the health of her royal highness, and am in • posi tion to declare that the use of the baths of Baden has been prescribed to the Dachas of Orleans by Dr. Chomel, with the view of repairing if possible the injuries which her con- stitution has received from the shock of events. I can also state that the princess is living here in a most quiet retired manner, that no person of political imports's., is in her society now, nor is any such person expected.—Dr. MINNICH.

The negotiations of the Piedmontese ambassador at Rome, to regulate the interim affairs of the diocese of Turin during the exile of Monsignor Fransoni have completely failed. M. Eugene Sue has been prohibited from con tinuing the publication of a romance in the jeuilleton of the Paeriote Sanoisien, and warned that should he persist, the Sardinian government might feel it necessary to withdraw the permission under which he resides at Annecy. M. R Sue has written to the minister that he is too grateful for the hospitality accorded him, and too desirous for its continuance, to do anything which might put an end to it. TURIN, JULY 1. It is said in well-informed circles that the Marquis Spinola has been stripped of all hie powers. It is reported by some that he has refused to return to Turin, even upon the express orders of the minister, but it I. generally behaved that his depri vation is owing to his failure to obtain any result at Rome.

On the day that Fnad Effendi returned after having completely terminated the delicate mission which had been confided to him in Egypt, he had an interview with the Sultan, and received from his Highner an expression of his entire satisfaction at the manner in which he had acquitted himself. Abbas Pacha still persists in demanding the definitive ex pulsion of Said Pacha from Egypt. Lord Stratford of Redcliffe had his farewell audience of the Sultan on the lath, and was to leave on the 20th. His audience was of the most cordial kind, and was ex tended far beyond the ordinary time for such recep tions. It is also said that, after the official audience had terminated, Lord Stratford had a private con ference of some duration with the Sultan. AMERICA. At seven o'clock last evening the British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship America, Captain Neil Shannon, arrived at Liverpool, from Boston and Halifax, having left the former port at noon of the the 23rd ult., and Halifax early on the morning of the 25th. She brings 80 passengers, and 289,000 dole. in specie on freight. The Whig Convention at Baltimore, after 52 unsuc cessful ballots, had nominated General Winfield Scott, of New Jersey, as the Whig candidate for the presidency ; and W.A. Graham, of North Carolina, for the vice-presidency. A great disparity of feeling was manifested by the announcement of General Scott's ' nomination. From Boston, the telegraph says the' rejoicings are far from being general or hearty. Business of all kinds was affected by the excite ment respecting the presidential nominations. The Sproceeding in Congress were wholly unimportant wring d the four days prior to the steamer's de parture. Two days' later dates from California had been re ceived in New York, by the steam-ship Prometheus, but there was nothing in the intelligence worthy of especial notice. A misunderstanding had occurred at San Jose, Lower California, between the Mexican authorities and Commander Aldham, of her Majesty's sloop Swift, arising out of the seizure of some goods be longing to British subjects. A company of troops were to be despatched to Trinity county, the scene of the recent Indian disturb ance. The Indians were becoming very troublesome on the east side of the Sacramento river.

By an arrival from Belize, to the Ist of June, the news had been received in New York that owing to the disturbed state of public affairs, all the Honduras papers had been discontinued. Advises from Valparaiso to the 13th of May state that freights to England were 2/. per ton for guano. The Santiago arrived at Panama on the 3rd ult., with intelligence that Flores still remained at Puna. He had nine vessels and sufficient funds, and was only waiting the arrival of an additional steamer to commence the attack. The French population at Guayaquil had most of them taken refuge under the protection of the French consul. The American, French, and Eng lish frigates were still at Guayaquil. It is stated in a letter from Honduras, that the inhabitants of Hasten had claimed the protection of Honduras against the British authorities. Great dis order prevailed. Great dissatisfaction is expressed in the Canadian newspapers at the failure of the mission of the pro vincial delegates to England in connection with the Quebec and Halifax railroad scheme. The number of fugitive slaves that had obtained protection in Canada during the last three years had been estimated by some of the journals as high as 30,000. Business generally was not as brisk as usual in the United States. Stocks were firm. Money continued plentiful in New York. Little had been done in breadstuff' at receding prioes.

Tho restart is this borough appeared to be com- Oately ended with the retirement of Mr. Harvey ; but on Saturday last Mr. W. A. Wilkinson suddenly announced his intention of beennitog a candidate. As Mr. Wilkinson professes precisely the same principles as Messrs. JYEyn court and Williams, bis attempt to create division by ap pearing in the ticld at the eleventh hoer, is received with moth dissatisfaction. There was no reason to suppose • ' that Mr. Ilarvey could have even approached success, and there is no chance of Mr. Wilkinson ob taining as many votes as would have been re corded in favour of his predecessor bad he gone to the poll. The result of a careful curate, and the unanimous testimony of fourteen crowded meetings, held in all parts of the borough, leave no doubt that the old members will be triumphantly supported, and a very little inquiry would would have shown the present opponent the folly of his attempt. A bill which was issued on Saturday evening must create no little amusement. It calls upon the electors to support Mr. Wilkinson because he is a county magistrate, and because his property is valued at 100,0001. ! Mr. Wilkin son is surely not a man to relish the vulgar impertinence of holding him up as a golden gorse ; but this little incident may serve to open his eyes to the character of the parties at whose instigation be has placed himself in a false position. The readiness with which libe rals can be induced to oppose each other and their apathy in fighting against the common foe, are among the worst symptoms of the times—but the men who are so indiscreet as to rush into these suicidal contests are clearly undeserving the confidence of any prudent con stituency. Should Mr. Wilkinson be ill-advised enough to go beyond the nomination, the polling day will bring a just retribution, and although his friends may give him credit for integrity of motive, the readiness with which he has given credence to misrepresentations of the state of the borough cannot fail to destroy confidence in the solidity of his judgment. Some of his placards state that Mr. Harvey retired in his favour, but this is obviously un true, as Mr. Harvey's resignation was published before Mr. Wilkinson had consented to stand, and after the men who have brought him forward had put up the name of Lord Palmerston, and Mr Alderman Wire, and scoured Lon don in all directions in search of any one who would keep Mr. Harvey's 160 committee rooms going at the rate of expense which they had been enjoying daring that gentleman's con test. Mr. Wilkinson's party exhibits very little activity; but if there is to be a poll, the electors must not be deceived by, an appearance of quiescence, but bestir themselves early, and act with sufficient energy to p a recurrence of their foolish pranks on any future occasion. Saturday night. A LAMBETH REFORMER. OXFORD. A public meeting of the electors of this city wan held at the Town-hall on Friday evening, when the late members, Mr. Langston and Sir V. Page Wood, attended to give an account of their stewardship, and to state their views for the future. Between seven hundred and eight hundred electors were present, including the most influen tial men on the liberal aide. Mr. Alderman Sadler was voted to the chair, and addressed the meeting on the ge neral state of affairs and the prospect of a reimposition of protective duties on food if the people did not take steps to prevent Lord Derby carrying his wishes into effect. Mr. Langston adverted to the beneficial changes which had been made by Sir It. Peel end the late government, by which taxes to the amount of 12 millions had been taken off, and the consumption of coffee, tee, sugar, and other necessaries of life greatly increased, the increase in their exports being 30 per cent , the imports 70 per cent., every elms better employed, and the workhouses containing scarcely any able-bodied paupers. He mentioned that the repeal of the navigation laws had been most successful, as was evinced by the fact that the present government, who originally opposed it, did not mean to disturb it, Ile said that the government were unable to see what benefits had been conferred by the adoption of the free trade policy, and they maintained that their principles were unchanged, but that they would not reverse that policy unless thepeople desired it; be would offer no factious oppo sition to the present ministry, but accept all good measures which they proposed; although be could not but look with a jealous eye on a Premier who still thought that food should be taxed. He trusted that the voice of the people would prevent his carrying his wish into execution, and it would be their duty to watch any adjustment of taxation, so that no one party should be benefitted by it solely or at the expense of others, because protection had been removed and was now proposed in some other shape. He was in favour of extension of the suffrage but could not support Mr. Hume 's Bill, because it contemplated electora! dis tricts, where the standard was to be a population of 40,000, by which means London would be entitled to about 80 representatives, and Oxford would return no member at all, unless other towns with an additional population of 15,000 were annexed to it, in which cue it would return only one member. He advocated the ballot, for which he had always voted ; and thought that Mr. Hume's new bill, to allow places to have it where two-thirds of the electors desired, should be adopted. With respect to the Maynooth grant he thought that if the money wet, badly spent, or did not serve the purpose intended, it should be inquired into, and, had it come to a division, he intended to vote for the inquiry. The address of Mr. Laagston appeared to give general satisfaction. Sir W. Page Wood contrasted the state of things in 1847 with that of the present time, and attributed the tranquil lity of this country to their representative system and the removal of the taxes on food. Ile designated the conduct of the present ministry as shuffling and evasive, for they i refuse to carry out the principles which they had advo cated when in opposition ; and while some of them aban doned protection, others were holding out hopes of its re news]. The result of a free trade had been to place this country in the most prosperous condition that it had ever known, for the people were generally employed, the work houses comparatively empty, and more money was invested in the savings banks. A show of hands was then taken for Mr. Langton and Sir W. P. Wood separately, when every hand was held up. After a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. MsgettEirrEtt.—The result of the forthcoming election at Manchester will show that the spirit of free trade was never more staunch and unmistakeable than now, and that both Mr. Gibson and Mr. Bright will be returned to the next parliament more triumphantly than ever. BIRRINCIIIAM.—Our correspondent writes: Satur day was a busy day as regards movements of the Protec tionist. Conservative-Free Trade-Protestant AUiance party. It was carried that an opposition there certainly would be, and that the radicals, taken by surprise, would lose one member. The difference appears, however, to be consider. able between the saying and the doing, for up to a late hour in the evening the third candidate had not announced him self. Mr. J. T. Chance declined long since ; overtures are said subsequently to have been made to Lord Cal theme's son with the like result ; and, finally, the name of Mr. S. W. Winfield (a wealthy manufacturer, a most zea lous churchman, and an orthodox conservative) was men tioned. We very much doubt whether the most respecta ble gentleman will allow himself to be brought forward; therefore any gentleman entertaining principles in accord ance with those professed by a number of individuals here, as set forth above, may know that a candidate is wanted, and that a fine opportunity for a raid on the midland metro polis is presented, and if actual success cannot be promised, there is no doubt that he would experience a very hand some reception. NORTH LANCASHIRE.—The conservatives are ex erting anomie's to the utmost to induce a candidate to some forward as as avowed supporter of Lord Derby's administration, but, so far, without muss. Mr. Jonathan Peel, of Accrington-house, was first invited to contest the representation of this division of the county, and his address was actually printed, approved of by most of the leaders of the conservative party, and on the point of being issued to the electors, when Mr. Peel hung back, and finally refused to stud, conaidaria . g that there was not the remotest pro bability of soccer in the present state of the register for North Lancashire. Mr. Taylor, a protectionist, residing near Whalley, was nest **tidied to come forward, hut from some cause or other, as yet unexplained, he has de. dined. At a meeting of the conservative freeholders, con vened by circular, and held at Preston, on Friday, the desirability of op sing Mr. Heywood was considered, and Mr. W. A. F. /launders, a county magistrate, has proceeded specially to Ireland to endeavour to induce the lion. Col. &melon, of Burnley, who is now in the suite of Lord Eglinton, to come forward. CHE.STRR.—On Thursday evening last, a district meeting of the liberal party was held upon an open plot of ground in a much-frequented street. Immediately before the commencement of the proceedings, a cart was wheeled on to the ground by men connected with Mr. Ilelme's party, who bad been drirking the whole of the day at his expense. One of their number mounter' the cart, and endeavoured to create a disturbance. For three quarters of an hour, the meeting was detained before the speaking could begin., The populace, at last, enraged at the interruption , turned upon the disturbers ; their cart was torn to pieces, and some portions of it were brown into the canal. The men who commenced the row were forced to run to preteet them selves. The speakers then began, and finished their ad denies with only occasional interruptions from stragglers, who desired to fight. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Hon. W. 0. Stanley and his committee were accompanied by thousands of people through the streets to the committee room, whence he thanked them for their conduct, and ad vised them to abstain from all violence upon the opposite patty. A mob of ruffians continued to parade the streets till a very late hour of the night. The sheriff—P. Eaton, Esq.—has appointed Wednesday next for the nomination day. The polling will probably take place on the next day, Thursday. Qk . RDIFF.—A warm contest, (says a correspond entWwill take place for the representation of the Cardiff boroughs. The candidates are Dr. Nichol', the late mem ber, on the conservative interest, and on the liberal side Walter Coffin, Elm. The latter Is a thorough fret trader, and an advocate of vote by ballot. Large and influential meetings of the electors have been held on his behalf. Mr. Nichols has been the representative of the boroughs for 20 years. Ile has announced himself as an advocate of free trade In its fullest entre ; and that if he approves of the government of Earl Derby, he will support the measures of the noble lord, but not otherwise. Both gentlemen have gone through a most active personal canvass, and appear cedar, of success. °LANDOW CITY AND LANARK CAMNTT.—A cor renemdent ear, " The writs for 'members to serve in par liament for the city of Glasgow and county of Lanark ar rived in Glasgow on Thursday afternoon, and the sheriff has died Wednesday, first, for the city nominations, and Tuesday, the 13th instant, for the county. Mr. Lockhart dandy for the county unopposed. Five candidates have presented themselves fir the city—Mr. Hastie and Mr. M'Oregur, the late members; Lord Melgund, Mr. Peter Blackburn, of Killearn, on the protestant conserv.itive in terest, hut a free trader ; and Mr. A. Alison, a liberal. Lord Melgund is started in opposition to Mr. bPGregor, whose chances of success are gradually becoming less pro. wising. Mr. Alison, if he comes to the pull, is not ei . petted to have many supporters ,• and as for M r . Bl st k. burn, who is but to-day is the field, little cm be said. Toe liberal camp being thus split, however, it is difficult to ~iy whether a conservative candidate may not step in. WlLTa.—lt is at last settled by the South Wilts Protection Society that no opposition be offered to the re election of Mr. Si , lney Herbert at the i nsuiiig electio n f,„ the southern division of the county. Mr. Stephen Mills, the chairman of the acting committee for Mr. It. I'. Lang, lose just issued an address, stating that that gentleman is shortly expected home from the continent, and will be put in nomination in consequence of the retirement of Mr. Bennet from age and infirmities. Mr. S. Herbert hut net yet issued an address to the electors of South Wilts. With respect to the northern division, Messrs. Walter Long and T. H. S. Sothcron will be returned without opposition.— Hants Advertiser._ BERWICK-ON-TWEED. - -The tory candidates here are, It seems, resorting to their old practice•. "We wen•," says the Nemeastk chronicle, " pretty certain from the commencement how things would be in any borough where Mr. Richard Hodgson showed his face. After the files of unpaid hills which that gentleman left behind him on his last contests both in Berwick and Newcastle, the Berwick publicans, however, are likely to be very slow in giving credit, and money down' will doubtless be the order of the day. The freemen are short-sighted, indeed, if they fancy these things can in these days elude detection and punishment. We warn them, as we lave done more than once before, that the public eye is on them; and that it will be the bounden duty of the liberal members for the North of England to bring the state of the borough before parliament under the provisions of the act je.t pe-sed fur the prevention of corrupt practices at elections. if the re ports we hear be true, it seems of little consequence even if the tory candidates are returned, as they would not re tain their seats many weeks." It is only just to aihl that Mr. Matthew Forster, the libelist candidate, and late member, has set his face against such vile proceeding., with, it is satisfactory to know, every prospect of suet( m. COVENTRY.—The election of Messrs. Ellice and °each is now said to be beyond a doubt; the friends of the last-named gentleman have been most indefatigable dunng the week, and many prejudices against him have been re moved, and the reformers generally are now united iu the endeavour to give Mr. Ellice as excellent a colleague as in his speech to the electors that gentleman acknowledged Mr. Ocach to have been. On Saturday evening some doubts were expressed as to whether Mr. Hubbard would continue the contest. LICIIYIELD.—The nomination takes place on Wed nesday; the contest (if any) will be between Lord Mired Paget and Mr. Follett; hut from information received yrs. wedgy it seems doubtful whether the laths gentleman will go to a poll. STAFFORDSHIRE (SOUTH).—At present there is no probability of any opposition to the old members; Lord Lewisham has conciliated a large number of the electors by avowing himself a free-trader. CllttlSMlCityft.—The lion. E. J. Harris has re signed the representation of this borough in parliament on account of being called abroad. In consequence Of his re signation Christchurch has been placed in much perplexity by the unforeseen circumstance of two candidates, Vi.eount Somerton and Captain Wolcott, R.N., presenting them. selves on the conservative interest of that borough. Lord Somerton has, however, since withdrawn. Lord Chewton has issued an address, and is canvassing the borough on the liberal interest. BODMIN.—On Thurday evening last, Mr. Charles Sawle, of Restormel, son of Sir Joseph Sawle G Sawle, Bart., announced himself as a candidate for this borough, tvery probability of success. On the same evening Mr. Lacy issued a retiring address. It is generally sup posed that Mr. Sawle and Dr. Michell will he return. il. FESATai AND FALmorm.—Mr. Thomas George Baring, son of Sir Francis Baring, the First Lord of the Admiralty in the late government, addressed the elector. both at Penryn and Falmouth. Mr. Baring is a decided liberal ; he is in favour of an extension of the suffrage—the admission of Jews to parliament—would dispense with the property qualification of members—and is a strong advocate of the free-trade policy. Mr. Baring comes forward strongly recommended by gentlemen possessing a large interest in the borough and neighbourhood, and has, it is said, made a most successful canvass. The tory candidates, Mr. Gwyn and Mr. Freahfield, are still canvassing. II ELaTON.—Sir Richard Vyvvan has issued an ad dress to the electors of this borough. Sir Richard is a de- I cided supporter of Lord Derby's government, and as yet ' there is every appearance of his being returned without opposition. f here is, however, a slight rumour that a libe ral candidate will come forward to contest the representa tion of the borough with him. CARI.IsLE.—Sir James Graham and Mr. Joseph Ferguson, the liberal candidates for the city of Carlisle, addressed about five thousand of the inhabitants of that place, from the stairs of the Town-hall, on the evening of Friday last. A show of hands having been taken the meet ing separated. POOLE.—Sir 0. R. Philips, Bart., the senior repre sentative of this borough in the late session of parliament, formally announces his retirement from public life. AWINCIIESTER.—The nomination day is fixed for Wedneday next, and the poll for the following day; there are three candidates, Mr. J. B. Carter (liberal), Sir J. B. East (conservative), the outgoing members, and Mr. Bul pett (liberal), new candidate. CALNE.—The Earl of Shelburne, son of the Marquis of Lansdowne, has issued an address to the elec. tors of this borough, soliciting a renewal of their confidence. LYMINGTON.—There aro four candidates in the field for the borough of Lymington, viz., the two present members (Mr. Mackinnon and Mr. Hutchins), Sir John Rivett Carnac, and Mr. G. Hudson. The two former offer themselves for re-election on the Liberal interest, the other two gentlemen as supporters of Lord Derby's government. HEREFORD CITY.—AII the candidates Sir R. Price and Col. Clifton (free-traders) and Mr. Meyrick (Derbvite)—declare to go to the poll. BEWDLET.— The contest between Sir Thomas Wilmington (liberal) and Mr. Soudan (freetrade con servative) will, as usual here between two rival parties, be a clam one, and already there are symptoms of a return to those gross excesses which called for the petitim not very long ago. MARLOW.—A correspondent states that Mr. W. G. Romaine, of the Temple, has started on the liberal interest in opposition to Mr. T. P. Williams sad Col. Knox. WINDSOR.—One of the largest and most enthu siastic political meetings ever held in the royal borough, took place at the Theatre, 011 Friday night. The meeting was addressed by Mr. Grenfell, Captain Seymour, and others;-and a reacilutioa, pledging the electors present to use their utmost endeavours to secure the return of Messrs Grenfell and Ricardir, was carried by acclamation. DROITWICII.--The writ for this little borough is ont, and Thursday next is fixed for the nomination and return. The Right Hon. Sir John S. Pakington, her Ma jesty's Colonial Secretary, is the only candidate in the field, and no opposition is expected to his return on Thursday. The constituency numbers 367 only. —Citstmanwsw.—Next Thursday is the day ap pointed for the nomination for Cheltenham. The two candidates, Mr Craven Berkeley and Sir Willoughby Jones, declare to _r to the poll. EAST WORCESTERSIIIRE.—The nomination is fixed for Tuesday week, the 13th instant, at Droitwiels, the re tuning borough. Mr. Clive, who was put forward by the protectionists, having retired to Ludlow, the old members, the Hon. Captain Rushout, • supporter of the present ministry and Mr. J. H. 11. Foley, • free-trader, will, in all probability, be returned again, without opposition. WORCESTER.—The new candidate, Mr. Huddle sten, has addressed the electors at • public meeting. lie says he is a conservative and free-trader. The election takes place on Wednesday. I.ewv.4 LBoxill the I)erbyite candidate for this borough, has beat • timely retreat. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE.—'The nomination is fixed for Tuesday and the polling for Wednesday in this borough. The contest between Messrs. Headlam, Watson, and Blackett will, it is thought, be a very serious one : hut, whoever may be defeated, Newcastle will have the satisfac tion of being represented by two liberals in the nest par liament. _ DURHAM (CITY).—Mr. Grainger is considered quite safe. The contest will be between Mr. Atherton and Lord " Dolly" Vane - bet, as muly of the conservatives stand aloof from his lordship, Mr. Atherton hay probably the better chance. . . . COLERAINE.—Lord Naas has published his ad dress. He recapitulates the Irish measure•, and the "good intention." of his government, and says " The question the constituencies of the United Kingdom are now called upon to decide, is : whether the country is to be governed on constitutional principles or not? Whether her Ma. jeety's present ministers are to retain the confidence of the nation, or are to be succeeded by some government taken from the heterogeneous mats of their opponents, who will agree on no one point, save determined hostility to every , thing that Is conservative. I have no doubt that you will nobly bear your part in the coming struggle. You have always supported the great principles of civil and religious liberty—of loyalty to the sovereign, and of constitutional freedom. In me you will find a firm though humble advo cate of these greet principles." Mr. Kennedy has with drawn from the contest in this borough, finding that the influences brought to bear upon the electors would render the result doubtful. DUNDALK.—The Freeman says :—We regret to find the split in the liberal rank still continues in Dundalk. Messrs. Bowyer and Gartlan—both standing on the same principles—still continue an internecine warfare. Why do not the electors take the matter into their own hands, and force the weaker party to resign ? It will require all the united strength of the liberal party to defeat Lord Jocelyn. OUNGARVAN.—It is stated that Mr. J. F. Maguire has withdrawn from the contest here, and Mr. B. ('Fla herty, the new libelist candidate, will be returned without difficulty. KILICENNT.—Lord James Butler has addressed the electors of this county on protectionist principles. Smoo.—Mr. Sheriff Swift has apologised to the electors of Sligo for his inability to attend his canvas, owing to the London election. CORK COUNTY.—The Tories threaten a brace of candidates is this county. but their NAM have not yet been dtsulaed.
