Toe Derbyites are preparing to wash Mr.BERWAL OSEOKNE olla of Middlesex with a deluge of beer. As when a war suddenly breaks out, the armourer's anvil knows no moment of repose—clinking day and night, Saturday and Sunday—so this sudden dash of the Tory assailants on the unexpecting phalanx of Middlesex liberals, has kept the mash-tub a-stir on the day of rest. Even the sabbath has shown no day of rest for the Middlesex brewer since a Tory cam paign in the metropolitan county was decreed ; clouds of smoke. ascending from a brewery, shaded Stanmore-heath last Sunday. This circumstance led the electors in that quarter to expert a canvassing visit from the rejected of Westminster—the hero of the d eluge and the vol cano. But Lord NIAIDSTONIN flash speeches were used up; or he had caught cold by venturing into a draught of air, after perspiring like another Falstaff on the hustings in Covent-garden; mute was the voluble tongue. Another candidate had to be beaten up, and a rare choice the Derbyites have made. "Gentlemen;'—the Marquis of BLANDFORD may he supposed to say in his address to the electors at Brentturd—" I appear before you as the representa tive of a house that has absorbed more of the public money than any other subjects in England. Ido not speak of Blenheim or Marlborough House : they were earned by the military exploits of my an cestor, as Strathfieldsaye and Apsley House have been won in our days. But even the founder of our house contrived to get pretty pickings in addi tion to what parliament and the crown gave him— by the perquisites' he squeezed out of the great army contractor NIEPINA. With Jonx, the first Duke of Mant.sortottat, expired the only one of our family who ever did any service to his country ; but since his time successive generations of his family have drawn a comfortable income from an annuity paid them out of the Post-office revenue ; and the present illustrious head of the house has made a considerable addition to this by the hallerowna which curious visitors pay to see Blenheim. Gen tlemen, I flatter myself I am not a degenerate off shoot of the stock . from which I sprang; and I will do my best to a sir out our slender income by a re enact mem of the corn law." The truth of these boasts cannot be denied. First and last, the M intimeorGit family has been very costly to the people of England. What with pecu lating contracts—sinecure grants out of the Poet-office revenue—and "money taken at the door" of Blen heim, it has cost as much as the whole of the de scendants of the illegitimate offspring of the " Merry Monarch" pat together. But, in addition to the personal claims of the Marquis of BLANDFORD, must be considered the claims of the party he is put for ward to represent. That party is rather a heterogeneous one, and distinguished, even in this—the day of hollow pro fessions—fur the unblushing dishonesty of its pre tences. The gravamen of the charge advanced against Mr. IteaxvL OSBORNE is, that he has at all times manifested a disregard to the interest of Pro testantism. The charge is groundless and untrue; but who are the zealous Protestants that make it ? We have ere now shown how little claim the lkr byites have to credit for sincere Protestant zeal; how utterly the " No-Popery" cry they have been raising is a hustings cry. But allied with these pseudo-Protestants in Middlesex are some of the very men whose absurd apeing of the veriest mum meries of Homanism more than anything else lent a shadow; of probability to the allegation that the national Protestantism is in danger. There are men among them who, on their way to record their votes fur Mr. GLADSTONE at Oxford, or on their return, have talked with gleeful and boisterous exaggeration of the certain 'access of the masked battery they have opened against Mr. OSBORNE. How has Mr. OSBORNE incurred this inveterate hostility from members of those two sections of the Conservative party which are at this moment tear ing at each others' throats with all the inveteracy of Kilkenny cats. That is not difficult to discover. Beyond any other member of the House of Commons of his standing—with few equals among any of its members whatever—Mr. Osamete possesses an extra ordinary power for rattling down shams, by an eloquence alternately sarcastic and indignant, always ingenious, and going direct to the point. A more reckless destroyer of solemn plausibilities does not exist among the public speakers of the day. And he sets about his work with such evident good will and intense enjoyment, as doubles the pain and mor tification of his victims. There is none of their parliamentary opponents whom the shaftlers of all parties, above all, of that pre-eminent shuffle, the beam' coterie, so much dread and detest as Mr. OSBORNE. They would stick at nothing to get rid of him. On the other hand, Kr. BERNAL OSBORNE'S services ought to be as much prized by the Liberals as they are feared by the opposite faction. Without aspiring to the reputation of a thoroughly crammed statist, Mr. OSBORNE has repeatedly displayed a great acquaintance with statistical details, and a singular talent for lucid exposition. He has distinguished himself on more than one occasion by a skill in unfolding and supporting abstract princi ples which evinced a thorough mastery . over them. But the great charm of his speeches in the House of Commons—the great use of them—is their power of mercilessly shattering all sinister moves tionalisms and sophistries. Often when the nay atmosphere of the House of Commons has felt sultry and heavy, and, as it were, surcharged with cant, the ready flashes of Mr. °names sarcastic wit and hearty mirth have purified it at owe. If the electors of Middlesex wish to see dishonest pharisai cal pretensions awed and kept in check in the legis lature, they will throng to the poll booths to record their votes for Mr. OSBORAIIL An attempt is being made by the Derbyite organs to sow distrust and discord among the Middlesex Liberals, by exaggerated professions of respect for the Whig candidate. The high honour of Lord RO BERT GROSVENOR is funky a sufficient warrant that there will be no treachery of which he is cognisant. But should any shallow aristocratic whiglings be disposed to listen to the voice of tho tempter, let them rest as sured that the independent Liberals will warmly resent and punish any foul play towards so efficient a champion of their cause as Mr. OSBORNE. The elections are going more and more decidedly against ministers. At Edinburgh Mr. MACAULAY has been returned, and at Oxford University Mr. OtatorroNg. The metropolitan counties must now do their duty. Surrey should again secure the tried and valuable services of Mr. LOCKE KING and Mr. ALcocii—West Kent put Mr. Honors at the head of the poll —West Surrey elect Colonel CHALLONER— and Middlesex return Mr. BERNAL. OSBORNE as the colleague of Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR. DANGERA OF VIE SERPENTINL—Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. Bedford, at the Malpas Arms, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, on the body of Timothy Conner, aged 31, an excellent swimmer, who wee drowned on Sunday morning in the Serpentine. The testimony of the witnesses went to prove that he had swam half way acmes and suddenly called for help, when ho turned over head Rye and went ,lown into the deep mud beneath. It was nearly 20 minutes before he could be got up by the Royal Humane Society's men after the time he went down. Mr. Williams, the superintendent of the society, stated that observing the drags were out he instantly got a hot bath in readiness, and when the body was br ou ght is It was bleak with the mud over the head to the waist where he bad been Sled. He was quite dead, but still every wane were need to restore him, and Dr. Woolley attended. In answer to a juror, Mr. Williams said that three boats were on the river, but there were a great number of persons in the water.--The Juror; Then three boats are not suffi cient ?—Mr. Williams. No; nor would six be. It is int pomible for the boatmen to see what is goieg on.—The Coroner. The Serpentine, I have understood, is a meet dangernus place to bathe in.—Mr. Williams replied it was the must dangerous in the world. There were holes thirty feet teep, and then twelve feet of mud, out of which the best swimmer could never get. There were cold springs too its all parte—The Coroner observed that it bad been cog rated in consequence, as he understood, that the bed of the Aver should be levelkd. As this had not been done there armed no alternative but to prevent bathing altogether there.—Tee Jury returned a verdict of "Accidentally Drowned."

Grosvenor and ,Bernal Osborne, Esq. Wooded. The meeting, though not numerous, was aleitost entirely oom poeeduf electors. Lord Robert Grosvenor and Mr. Osborne recapitulated the political views, as delivered at former meetings, which have been fully reported. After both candidates had answered some questions put to them re specting church rates and the sow by ballot, the following resolution was proposed and carried : Tbit this meeting have heard with satiefaction the address of Lord Robert Grosvenor sad It. B. Osborne, Esq., and are of opinion they are eminently qualified to represent the county of Middlesex in the next parliament. We therefore pledge to them our coaAdenes and support." Lord Robert Gros venor and Mr. Osborne returned thanks for the kind man ner in which they had been received. Tho inciting then broke up. FRANCE. • PAW, TVISDAT Evemixo. We arc informed to-day by the Petrie that ott the occasion of the President'. visit to Strasbourg there will be neither banquet .Inm Oficial speech. The. Prince is to be accompanied by General do St. Arnaud, Minister of War, Count Turgot, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and M. Lefebvre Durufl. , , Minister of Public Works. The details of the preparations making to receive the l'resident at the various points of the railway to be inaugurated lie scattered through the columns of the various depart mental organs. The completion of this enter prise is, it must be confessed, worthy of being Ord with all splendour, whether we consider - its commercial or strategic utility. As soon as that portion of the eircu'ar railway at Paris is completed, which is to connect the termini of the Havre and, Strasbourg railways, good may be conveyed without loading or other obstacle from the port of the At lantic to the city of the Rhine. As to the strategic point of view the importance of the new railway, whether for attack or defence, is equally obvious, sad the number of troops which France could in a few hours concentrate on the Rhine must become a serious matter of reflection to all who are interested in preventing the map of Europe from being changed. Lefebvre-Durufle, Minister of Public Works, has set out already for Strasbourg in order to. inspect the line of railway previous to the President's trip, the moment of whose departure will not be definitively flied before the return of that minister. The itinerary of the President, in his progress through the southern departments, which is to take Follows about September, is understood to be fixed as follows: From Bordeaux the Presidents to go to Toulouse, Montpellier, and Marseilles, and to return to Paris by Lyons. Between Bordeaux and Tou louse the Prince is to stop at Agen and Montauban. From Montpellier to Marseilles he will follow nearly the line of the Languedoc Canal. Several companies are in the field for the grant of the Bordeaux and Cette Railway. This affair will not, however, be settled just yet, but will be decided be fore the President's voyage to the south. A fusion is talked of between the principal members of the coin• peting companies. M. Arago, the celebrated astronomer, has predicted that there will take place at Paris, within the next few days, a terrible storm, which will last 2i hours. The Parisians to-day aro all occupied with descanting' upon this meteorological prophecy, and there pre vails a general belief among the lower orders that this famous storm is to take plitet tq-ziorrow, Loge. ' then %all an earthquake, and the end of the world is fixed for Thurftluy. This is seriously the belief of many house-porters whom I have seen this morning, and appears to be spread throughout the capital. The black mustering of thunder clouds this after noon has come to verify in some degree the predic tion of a storm; and there really prevails at this moment throughout Paris a sort of panic respecting the metereological phenomena which arc supposed to impend. I know not from what source the people have got it into their heads that M. Arago has made this prediction ; but the name of the astronomer is in every mouth, as as authority for the general super stition. The President sent yesterday for the servant of General St. Arnaud, who horsewhipped some of the navvies for throwing stones at his master lately, while riding in the neighbourhood of Vichy. The Prince commended the soldier for his spirited eon ' duct, and, giving him a 500 franc note, told him as soon as he had completed his term of military service to come to the lilyis:c, and that he (the Pre sident) would take care to provide him with a suit able post. It appears that those who arc not contented with the present government find means to disseminste, by the agency of hawkers, publications calculated to make their political opinions partaken by the popula tions of the provinces. The government has begun to °coin , itself seriously with this question. The minister of police, I understand, has addressed to the prefects a circular respecting the hawkers of books and printed publications, exhorting them to ut strictly into execution the laws and demos. re tive to such itinerant vendors of literary wares. M. a Maupas demands in this circular a statement of all the authorisations issued by the prefects to hawkers during a given time; and orders that in future no publications are to be sold in this way which are not furnished with a stamp attesting the rests of the authorities. The Marquis d'Audiffret presented the report of the Senate's committee on the budget in one of the ' last sittings of that body. It appears from this do cument that the rentes before 1814 only amounted li to 63 millions ; the disasters of 1815 increased them I to 193 millions. During the Restoration there took place a reduction of 31 millions. During the reign of Louis Philippe there was an increase of 24 mil lions, so that on the 24th of Feb., 1848, the rentes amounted to 186 millions. The revolution increased them to 229 millions; and they now amount to 209 millions. The Superior Council of Public Instruction opened its session yesterday, under thu presidency of M. Fortoul, the Minister of Public Instruction and Wor ship. The proceedings will be watched with great interest, owing to the general unpopularity of the decree of April 10th upon education, and the preva lent hope that material modifications will be made at the suggestion of the council. The event of the opening of the session is thus noticed by the Munitewr : The somas, which is to lad s aiseth, will bo principally devoted to drawing up the puggramates of instruction in letters and sciences in th• locks. sa ths bases fixed by the decree of 10th April last as dm of atedbes.

Heartier, Drouyn do flays, Baron de Seville, Cartier, Gauthier, Delamarre, and Moony de Mornay, with M. Foubert, head of the übsistence department, for secretary. A telegraphic despatch from Toulon announces the departure from that port, on Saturday, of tho screw line-of-battle-ship Charlemagne, having on board the Marquis de Lavalette, French ambassador to th e Ottoman Porte, M. Be nedetti, first secretary, and M. Sefels, an attache of the Turkish embassy at Paris. The Charlemagne will proceed direct to Constanti nople, where she is expected to arrive in six days. Tho Bank of France has decided that a branch bank shall be established at Toulon, and has directed M. Gautier, the vice-governor, to make the report, preliminary to its creation. At the Bourse the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. fell 15, and closed at 103.5 ; the Threes fell 25, and closed at 72.15. Bank of France shares rose 2010 with the exception of ltonen, which rose 10. Most of the railway lines were lower to-day. Orleans fell 30; Strasbourg and Lyons, 5 each ; Bordeaux and Cette, 2.50; St. Germain maintained yesterday's quotations. SWITZERLAND. The national council of Switzerland disowned the railway question in its sitting of the Bth inst. The first vote decided that the construction of railroads should be leR to private enterprise and not be under taken by the state. Twenty-two members voted in the minority and 69 in the majority on this question. The second vote decreed that the lanes should be con structed and worked under the authorisation of the cantons instead of being dealt with as federal matters. The Suisse remarks that this vote is the triumph of the cantonal sovereignty over unitari anism. The government of the Grand Duchy of 13aden have juNt concluded a treaty with Switzerland for the iwnkdigtc establishment of a lino of electric tele- - ~,~ - SPAIN. ; , MADRID, :VLT 8. According to Art. 18 of the law of August let lest, the junta of the public debt has decided that the Bth adjudication of the debt susceptible of being paid off of the Ist and 2nd class shall take place on the 30th. The sum disposable fur the repurchase of these bonds is 3,212,050 reels. ITALY. PARMA. Letters from Parma, in the Piedmontese Gazette, of the 10th, state that the negotiations between Modena, Parma, and Austria, for the acceesion of the two former states to the Austrian customs aye• tem, are likely to come to a speedy conclusion. Austria guarantees the present customs revenue of those two states, viz., 1,050,000 fr. for Parma, and 1,150,000 fr. for Modena, as a minimum; nevertheless the Duke of Modena will continue to export Carrara marble at its present rate. ROMAN STATES. Our Roman correspondent writing on the Rth July. says: The papal delegate at Anemia had prohibited money changers from trading without duo authorisa tion. Edward Murray was still in prison there — nothing decided about him in Rome. Mr. Hastings, the American clergyman, was leaving Rome for the United States, without being able to recover four caves of protestant works from the gripe of the Papal authorities. Three brickmakers were being tried by French court-martial for threatening the life of General Gemeau. The railway negotiations had failed. GERMANY. AUSTRIA. The Vienna journals state that the Ministers of War and Finance, who were lately summoned by telegraph to join the Emperor in Hungary, were wanted to give their advice on the subject of new railroads for that kingdom. The first was required to consider various projects in a stratagetic point of view, and the second to advise on tho resources available for their execution. A line, it is stated, is to be commenced forthwith to connect Szolnok with l)ebreczin. The Emperor has ordered surveys for lines to be made between Pnspek-Ladony and Grosswardein, and between Szegedin and Temesvar. The line from Czegled to Szege, now in course of construction, is to be finished so u to be ready for opening . next spring. The Vienna Gazette contains also an imperial ordonnance for the prolongation of the Lombardo-Venetian Railway from Treviso to Tagliamento, and the survey of a branch towards the Illyrian frontier.

Exchange, 2i. MORE AUSTRIAN OUTRAGES IN ITALY. Fresh particulars are reaching us as to the atro cious system of wholesale arrest now going on in Lombardy. Public attention in this country ought to be roused to the subject—nothing so horrible or so disastrous as these arrests having occurred in Austrian Italy for a long time. A letter, dated Milan, July 3, states that it has been ascertained that the body of Signor Pezzotti, who was found strangled in a Milanese dungeon immediately after his arrest, was instantly cut open, with a view to get possession of some papers which he had swallowed at the moment of his arrest. It is said, too, that the tale of his having strangled him self is a mere invention to conceal the fact that he was assassinated. However incredible this may appear, the remembrance of the firm and calm nature of poor Pezzotti makes it still more difficult to be lieve that he committed suicide. Arrests continue at Brescia, Pavia, Cremona. At Cremona one Antonio Binds, &landed proprietor, has been arrested along with others. To those arrested at Mantua has to be added the name of Count Arrivabene. At Venice many deplorable arrests have been made—Seargellini, Canal, Zambelli, Ferracini, and others. Here, as at Mantua, the arrests have been made in succession, this being an old trick of the Austrian police, to induce the imprisoned to believe that they have been denounced by their previously arrested companions, and so to spread abroad through the liberal part of soeiety the suspicion of mutual treachery. Altogether at 111antua the arrests hitherto known exceed ono hundred; at Venice there have been is all eighteen ; in the other towns the numbers are proportionate. It is impossible to describe what a misfortune to Lombardy is this fresh rouia of the polies among the most intelligent and honourable of her young men. Austria seems determined not to leave one thinking man free in her Italian domi nions. What effects these atrocities are producing on the Italians themselves may be inferred from the following extract from the letter of a cor respondent of the Piedmontese paper the Italia e Popolo, writing from Mantua, on July 1, and complaining of the silence and indifference of the ministerial papers of Piedmont on the subject of cruelties so horrible. "Do you, at least," mays the correspondent to the editor of the Italia e Papal°, " see that these things are spoken of by those who seek the real welfare of Italy. Tell how they tear fathers from children, children from parents, hus bands from wives,—tell how they throw honest men into prison, —how they insult them by binding them in transport vans, refusing the request of their fami lies to be allowed to convey them in other vehicles at their own expense,—tell how they manacle them during the journey, and order those to be bound still tighter who implore to have the irons a little loosened, and how they refuse every possible alleviation to their sufferings in prison. Tell how they treat those as condemned who are yet under trial, chaining them with one hand and one foot to gether, and obliging them thus to remain huddled up on the ground in the most painful position. Tell how they threaten the rat, and often use it for vengeance alone, or to extract c on f ess i on . Besides these physical tortures, they easel' the moral man with continual threats of death, as in the case of the hero Giovanni Orioli, and with irony, acorn, and insult. They abuse the holiest feelings, telling parents who implore mercy for their unhappy children, that the only means of saving them is to persuade them to betray their accomplices, and eon feu their crimes, and even when there are no accom plices and no crimes. " I write to you under tho impression of the . grief caused by the fresh arrests made in our provinces, by which wo have lost (imprisoned or fled) upwards of a hundred of our best citizens."

NORTH LANCASHIRE. The nomination for the northern division of Lan cashire took place in the Shire Hall, at the Castle of Lan caster, yesterday morning. T. B. CROSSE, BS CI., proposed, as aSt and proper person, John Wilson Patten, Esq., the late senior member for North Lancashire, and congratulated the freeholders of the county that there was no longer a prospect of a contest. (A faint and very partial cheer.) Wm. OARNZTT, Esq., of Quernmere Park, seconded the nomination. . . Tuos. Dam Annisote, E.g., of Preston, nominated James Heywood, En., the other late member. RICHARD FORS, Esq., of Read-hall, one of the late Can didates, seconded the nomination. The 1110 H SRI/RIFF declared the two gentlemen duly elected. Idt. W. PATTEN said : It was true he might not have voted for many of those liberal proposals in the House of Commons on which many had fixed their attention, and made their object ; but if they would look to the votes he had given in the House of Commons they would find that he Lad not directed his attention merely ta maintain the interests of one clam or one body of people in this country ; he believed they would find that he considered himself as the representative of all ; and that whether it was for the electors or non-electors he had to the best of his ability I endeavoured to promote their interests. With reoard 11 the general tuition of the country, the reduc tions which had taken place during the last ten yews had had • moot beneficial result to the general com munity of this country—ho did not say to all. Ile was bound to say that he did not think it had been beneficial to all classes, because lie (lid not believe the agri cultural interests had benefited to the same extent as the commercial, manufacturing, and labouring chime lead done. (Cheers and hisses.) He only adduced this to prove to the Operative classes of this country that their interests were not neglected. In his printed address to the electon he had stated that he believed there had been more done within the last few years for the relief of the agricultural body by the endeavours of the agriculturists themselves thau at any former period. He believed they were aware that they must take advantage of science, as other classes did, for the promotion of their own interests. If it should be found that the agricultural interest were labouring under • more oppressive burthen of taxation than say other great interest in this country he should direct his attention con stantly to relieve them, and have equal justice done to all her Majesty's subjects. (Cheers.) The honourable gen tleman concluded by justifying himself in the course be had taken during the canvass, in having kept filth with the liberal party, by many of whom he was supported, observ ing that he had net coalesced with Colonel Yorke Scarlett (the other conservative) further than to enter into an agree ment to join at the expense of bringing up voters, had the contest come to the issue of a poll. (Cheers.) Mr. J. HEY WOOD believed that if they had gone to the poll in this division the result would have been in favour of free trade. (Cheers.) As far as he could see, the feeling of the county was in that direction. From the changes of this legislative measure there were several instances of suffering on the part of individuals. Landowners had, in some degree, loot their rents ; and tenant farmers had sometimes suffered from the fall in the price of produce ; but, looking at the great mass of the community, there had been a de Bided gain; as they might perceive from the happy faces which surrounded them when they were canvassing. The subject of education was growing more prominent, and in the city of Manchester some gentlemen had gone so far as to propose a bill, sad send it up to parliament, where, after great objections and discussion, it was ultimately re ferred to a select committee. They examined witnesses with respect to secular e iucation, voluntary education, and other systems ; and he believed they would be re-appointed in the ensuing session. Ile should look with great interest on the report of that committee, for he believed a plan might be devised for improving the national eduestion of this country. He wee in favour of the adoption of some system which should offend the religious convictions of no denomination, and yet confer education on the whole community. A project was brought forward in the last parliament for a new reform hill. It was thought that after a period of twenty years it was right to revise and improve the representative system of this *Gentry. He should fully expect that some such plan we old be under discussion in the ensuing parliament. He had already voted for a franchise extending to ten-pouad house holders in counties, and he thought that in boroughs it might be extended to five pounds. There had never been • contest for North Lancashire for a long time, and as county electors they were not exactly aware of the intimi dation and coercion which occasionally occurred, but as borough voters it must be familiar to them. He did not think any reform bill would be perfect without some such system as the ballot. (A voice: " Would pots be in favour of vote by ballot in the House of Commons i") He should never be in favour of a vote by ballot in the House of Commove, but because he considered that a member of parliament held a trust for the benefit of the people, and it was his duty to register his vote in an open and public manner ; but he knew that in many instances they, the electors, were not able to carry out that principle without suffering from it. He was one of those who thought the taxes of this country ought to be reduced, and especially some of those which pressed upon the industry of the people. One of these was the tea duty. (Hear, hear.) Tea was • most extensive article of consumotion among the people,tlind while he was anxious to see the relief which it would afford, if reduced, to the consumer, he thought it would be • most important advantage to the country in • commercial point of view. He was also anxious to ee• the daties on soap and paper reduced, the Wt of which operated as a tax on knowledge. He was one of those who thought that the county of Lancaster ought to have a better representation in parlia ment—a representation more proportioned to its population, its intelligence and property. He had voted against Mr. Disrseli's plan for giving two other members to South Lan cashire, and for dividing that portion of the county and of the West Riding of Yorkshire into two, because he thought the principle was wrong of allowing minority government to legislate upon such an important measure. He did not object to two extra members being given to the county, but he thought if we created new members, we ought to have the claims of Burnley, Accrington, Colne, and such towns, acknowledged—placeswhich were much better entitled to representation than many of the towns in other parts of England which now sent two members to the House of Commons. (Hear, hear.) A vote of thanks was given to the High Sheriff, and the proceedings concluded. NORTH CHESHIRE. The election of two knights for this division of the county of Chester took place yesterday morning, at the Court-house, Knutsford. The re-election of Mr. George Cornwall Legh, of High Legh, was proposed by John Dixon, Esq., and seconded by E. Marsland, Esq., of Stockport. William Tatton Egerton, Esq., of Tatton-park, Knnts ford, was nominated by L. I'. Townsend, ER, and seconded by T. Wardle, Esq., of Macclesfield. There being no other candidates proposed, the High Sheriff declared Mr. Cornwall Legit and Mr. Tenon Egerton duly elected members for North Cheshire in the next parliament. Mr. TenoN EGERTON, on presenting himself, was received with loud applause. He said it did not fall to the lot of all to stand in the proud position which he now occu pied. For the sixth time he stood before them as the elected representative of the county. (Cheers.) For twenty years he had been proud in the enjoyment of their confidence.and support. (Cheers.) How far he had discharged the duties of their representative they could best judge, but he assured them that nothing but the possession of the entire confidence of the constituency—nothing but the conscious feeling of honesty of nothing but the belief that all, how ever hum e their position in life, were bound to make sacrifices for the good of their country—nothing but the confidence that, in making that sacrifice, he bad their con fidence, would induce him at the present time to continuo his services as their parliamentary representative. He had ever offered himself as a steady and consistent conservative. His definition of the term "consecutive" was that it implied the 'maintenance of everything that war good and valuable in their institutions, both in church end state. But in order to preserve the integrity of those institutions, the true conservative should net lie idly by, contented with things as they were, and do nothing. (Hear.) The true conservative would not overlook the constant changes that were going on, and the spirit of his age, nor would he re fuse to suggest such changes as were necemary, and to make such alterations in these institutions as would tend to fix them upon a sounder foundation, and in the good feelings and opinions of the great body of the people of this coun try. (Applause.) .All such changes as that of the re peal of the corn laws must cause such distress to • greater or less extent, and he assured them that if any measures could be devised by which that distress could be relieved, he would give them his most serious consideration. If such relief could be given by an advance of public money for improvements, it might be accomplished; but he could not help stating his conviction that he relied chiefly on the in domitable energy of the British agriculturion, land lords, and farmers, for the relief of a tempo rary distress. (Applause.) Ile believed that if the per severance which he believed belonged to the British agriculturist u well so the manufacturer—they were able to compete with all the nations of the world. (Cheers.) 'rho hon. gentleman then referred to the papal aggression question. Ile said that eighteen months ago they had voted a petition in this hall to the houses of parliament against the now no longer secret aggressions of the Church of Rome. They had entered a solemn protest to resist the egg's %%ion, and any ro- imposition of those fetters upon the COOSCieIICCR of Englishmen which their fathers had resisted. Mr. Egerton resumed his seat amidst repeated plaudits. Mr. CORNWALL LEOII was also loudly cheered on rising. Ile addressed the meeting at some length, going over the question referred to by Mr. Egerton, with whose policy on financial and other measures ho substantially agreed. Ile gave corroborative arguments in support of the Tree-trade policy of Sir Robert I'eel, and held out small hopes to the agriculturists of any relief from taxation. Ile I would consent to give no relief to the agriculturists which was not shared by the rest of the community. Upon this principle he would not vote for the repeal of the Malt Tax until he could see how the revenue derived from it could either be made up or be dispensed with. In reply to Mr. THOS. BROOKE, Mr. Lr.nit said he had voted its favour of Sir John l'akington's motion fur a dis criminating duty in favour of West India sugar ; but he would not repeat that vote now, considering the great in crease that had taken place in the consumption of sugar, and how largely that article entered into the comforts of the poorer classes. In rei.ly to Capt. De Hollingsworth, Mr. Legh and Mr. Egerton both end they would vote (or in quiry into Maynuoth, but would give no distinct pledge u to how they would act until that inquiry was completed. Capt. Da HOLLINW/WiTll expressed his dissatisfaction with the members on account of their votes on the free trade and Maynooth questions; and, after a vote of thanks had been carried to the High Sheriff, the roceedings ter minated with cheers for the candidates about 12 o'clock. SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE. The election for the southern division of this county took place yesterday at Lichfield ; the re-election of the lion. General Anson and Lord Lewisham being unop posed; until some time, however, after the nomina tion had commenced this was a matter of uncertainty, Mr. Baas, M.l'., Mr. Scholefield, and other influ ential gentlemen, being in Lichfield deliberating on the subject of bringing forward a second liberal. The lion. Arthur Wrottesley, eldest son of Lord Wrottesley, Mr. Cardwell, and other gentlemen had been named; the first hon. gentleman did, as will be hereafter seen, take part in the proceedings, but not such so had been assigned to and the friends of tho liberal cause thought it be'ter to de fer any opposition until entitle r election, although the state of the register even now is ►ucb as to plate the return of • second liberal beyond the slightest doubt. The lion. AKT/l1:14 Wh en t eoLEY nominated the lion. General Anson. JOHN RANKER, Esq., the great ironmaster, veconded the nomination of General Anson. J. S. MANLEY, Esq., in a brief speech, nominated Lord Lewisham. The nominatiou was seconded ny JOSEPH LOXIJALE, Esq. The Sweater (J. Wise, Req., M.P.), then declared the lion. General Anson and Lord Lewisham duly elect* I. The lion. General ANSON then stood forward and ad dressed the electore. After thanking them fur the renewed proof of their confidence, so oftentimes _ :Whited during a Ling emirs'. Of years the honourable gentleman pro ceeded to advert to the state of public Wahl; at the pr '.sent juncture. lie said that, although his noble colleague was now, like himself, a free trader, he believed that their differences on matters of general politics were as wide as the poles asunder. (Cheers.) The events of the last four years were, however, of so much importance that it would le , necessary be should eatery their attention back for a little, in order that he might properly picture their present position. (Hear.) When he stood before the electors in lgli the question then to be decided was whether the commercial policy which Sir It. Peel had brought about was to lee continued and extended, or whether the country was to witness a re-imposition of those laws which had so recently been abolished. And in advert ing to that subject he must be permitted to pay a just tri bute to the memory of the late Sir R. Peel—a man who had rendered such large amines: to his Gauntry, and from whom, and he grieved to say it, the weed of praise was by some grudgingly withheld. (Hear.) For himself he could only say that having been 32 years in parliament, he had had an abundance of opportunity of witnessing the tine capacity of that departed statesman, and although lie (General Anson) bad been for a long course of years opposed to him on the question of reform, ho had always been ready to pay • just tribute to his public worth ; and he believed the time would come whin he would be held up as one of the greatest political characters that ever existed in England. (Hear.) The country was deeply indebted to him, and when he died he left a void that had never been tilled up. (Hear.) Well, the result of the election of 1847 being favourable to free trade, it left Lord John Russell in a ma jority, but with three parties in the house ; the party who placed confidence in him as their leader, and wbo followed him accordingly; those who concurring with him generally were disposed to advocate more advanced reforms than Lord John Russell felt he could sanction, and a large minority pledged to uncompromising hostility to free trade—ready to get rid of it in any way. (Hear.) The consequence of there being these three parties was that the govern • ent was liable to defeat and was weak accordingly. The bond which united the party to which he last referred was that of "protection " ; that was the watchword of the party ; it entered into their policy both in site House of Commons and in the Howe of Lords; it was the battle-ground on which they fought for supremacy and was the rallying cry at every election. (Hear.) Well, in 1850, Lord John Russell was defeated on Mr. Locke King's motion fur an extension of the franchise the consequence was that the noble lord resigned, and L ord Derby was sent for by her Majesty ; his lordship being at that time, however, un able to form an administration, Lord John Russell returned to office, weaker than before. At the conclusion of last year a most influential member of the late government was removed from office ; it is not for me to say what was the cause of that removal, but at least I may say that I believe it was a necessary step. Lord Palmerston at the commence ment of the amnion offered explanations • those explanations were not deemed satiafactory to anyb ody, but it daily became clearer that the ministers could nut retain office, and very soon they were beaten on the question of a militia bill. Lord Derby came into power, pledged to that prin ciple of protection which he had so eloquently contended for in opposition. (Hear.) The late House of Commons was, however, unmistakably adverse to a return to pro tection, and from what has transpired since the present government came into power, one is at a loss to understand what its policy really is. (Hear.) But although Lord Derby stands pledged to protection, and Mr. Disraeli, on the other hand, says that it cannot be main tained, another member of the government, Mr. Chris topher, when questioned the other day by his constituents in Lincolnshire, said that the government stuck as fast by protection as ever. (Hear, hear.) Another right hon. gen tleman (Mr. Walpole), an influential member of the govern. merit, in his speech to the "free and independent" electors of blidhunt does not say one word on the subject of protec tion, but ha does say something about revision of taxation, which, I suppose, means portection in some way or other. (Hear, hear.) Why, I say too, that if you can find that therein any unequal pressure or burthen on land, let us have it remedied—(hear, hear)—but for my part I don't believe that there is any such thing. (Cheers.) On the contrary, If the subject is well looked into, it will be found that the landowners enjoy immunities which other interests do not possess. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Disraeli has op ken of the 15 millions of poor rotes pressing on the landed interest, and he proposes, I believe, to transfer this to the consoli dated fund—but do not houses, and every description of property, contribute alike to the poor rate, and I should like to see the government that would attempt, or the House of Commons that would dare, to impose such a burthen on the consolidated fund. (Hear.) My Lord John Manners, another member of the government, talks of going back : he is, he says, the same under the scorching Sue of 1812 that he was under the bleak winds of 1847. For myself, I do not believe any return to protection possible. I have been a free-trader many years, and I always thought that the country ought never to rest satisfied with less than total repeal. (Loud cheers.) I have been a supporter of civil and religions liberty all my life, and see no reason to change; I believe that the people deserve all the privileges that have been extended to them. I be lieve that an extension of the franchise is required ; I shall give my support to any well-conceived measure having that object to view. I shall, as I have always done, advocate moderate and useful reforms, but I cannot give my support to a government like Lard Daley's, in whose sincerity I have not seen reason to place the slightest reliance. Mr. J. 8. WHIOUT ' of liandsworth, asked the hon. gen tleman whether he would support a measure for the abolition of church-rates. The lion. Oen. ANSON replied—l should vote for the abolition of church-rates at present. Lord LEWISHAM next thanked the electors. His lordship repeated the declaration in his address, that he was a convert to the free-trade principle, but (he said) he could not give in his adhesion to the violent and dangerous policy of the late government. Though entering parlia ment an independent man, he could see no leader better than Lord Derby ; therefore he should give to the go. vernment of that noble lord his support on all questions except that of free trade. With Tea; eel to tl.e suffrage, he had no objection to extend it to those whom the just claims of " worth, education, and praperty," en titled to it ; but be declined to say anything more specific on that subject. Au an earnest churchman, he would sup port any motion for an inquiry into hiaynooth ; but he would never be found amongst those who persecuted their fellow-subjects tor the sake of their religion, or to deprive them of their civil rights; ,he justified the recent proclamation by government with reference to the catholic, on the ground of recent extravagances in different parts of the country; and the noble lord concluded by again repeating his declaration never to desert his pledge to support the free trade prin ciple, but on other questions he should cordial) support Lord Derby's administration. (Hisses, mingled with alight cheering, as his lordship sat down.) Mr. Watour repeated to Lord Lewisham the question he put to General Anson on the subject of the abolition of church rates. Lord LEWISHAM replied that ho had already voted against the abolition of church rates. As Lord John Russell had said, church rates were a great national tribute to religion ; therefore he felt bound to oppose their abolition. Mr. Wntonv —Will you vote for the extension of the franchise to :if. householers Lord LEWISHAM—I shall give no pledge. I shall say no more on that subject than I have said. At present there is no difficulty of an industrious working man obtaining a county vote. Two or three other questions were put to his lordship at the same time, but the electors seemed to think the noble lord had had enough, as they hissed the qucrists down, and the proceeding terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the Sheriff. FAST GLOUCESTERSHIRE. This election came off yesterday (Tuesday) at Gloucester. On Monday the city and county, too, was on the qui rice, it being announced that a liberal candidate had declared himself in the in non of the Ilun. C.

The usual preliminaries having been observed, the MA Sheriff (Mr. W. 11. Hartle>) culled upon all present to give the speakers an impartial hearing. The Hon. W. Du MN then proposed Si r C.

They did not ask (or any specific remedy, or for any exceptional boon; but th.,t they should have a share in what he believed to be the exaggerated prosperity of the country. If free trade was the principle on which the goveroment of the country was to be carried out, they must base it carried out to its fullest extent. (Cheers.) At present they had only a one-sided s) stem, which was mis called free trail Ile thanked them, iu conclusion, for the flattering reception they had given him; and be would, if again returned, endeavour to repay their confidence by IL greater devotion to their interest. in parliament. (Great appiuse.) .11r. R. KNICIITLEY had already stated what were his political principles. He was a liberal (conserva tive, and he was the more anxious to state that, because he saw a false distinction attempted to be drawn between those and the supporters of Lord Derby. (Hear, hear.) Attempts had been made to sow dissension among them by stating that Lord Derby had aband,ened protection and had deceived them. He had said what he had always said, that if he could he would restore protection. If he could not do that he would give an equivalent in some other way. Mr. Houghton was then called for, but did not make his appearance. The show of hands was then declared to be in favour of Captain Wyse and Mr. Knightley, and a poll was then de mended on behalf of Mr. Houghton by Mr. Smart. The polling was fixed to commence on Friday morning, at 9 o'clock. In the afternoon a large party of Captain Vyse's and Mr. Knightley's fr iends dined together nt the George Mot& NORTH DEVON. The nomination and election of two knights of the shire for the northern division of Devon took place at South Molton on Tuesday morning. Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE, Bart. proposed the re-election of their old and tried friend, Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, Burt. (Cheers.) They were well acquainted with Lim as a landlord, as a neighbour, and a member. Mr. W. A. Yas (magistrate of the county) seconded the nomination. Mr. T. W. HARDING (also a magArata) nominated Mr. L. W. Duck, but not a word wadd.be heard for the hooting and yells with which he was assailed. Mr. G. FOLISDON (another magistrate), in seconding the nomination, was received in the same manner. No other candidate being proposed; the Sheriff declared Sir T. Arland and Mr. L. W. Buck duly elected. Rir THOMAS ACLAND addressed the electors in a short speech. Mr. Buck was unable to obtain a hearing, in conse quence of the clamour with which he was received. Sir J. KENNAWAY moved, and Mr. T. KILLEWICK seconded, a vote of thanks to the sheriff, which was carried by acclamation. The ceremony of buckling on the spurs was afterwards gone through, and the proceeding. terminated more quietly than might have justly been anticipated from the heat dis played at the contest, which was far greater than at many, if not at all, the contested borough elections in this coast!. There was to be a dinner in the evening, at which Mr. buck was expected to finish his speech. The election was over at about a quarter past 12. ItUTLASi). The election of two knights of the shire to repre sent this county is parliament took place at the Castle of Gukham yesterday (Tuesday), at It o'clock. Rumours of opposition to one of the late members were rife. and it wu confidently reported on Monday that Mr. Joha Talbot Clifton, of Catmore-lodge, near Oakham, would be put is nomination, but no grounds for these rumours seem to have existed, and the late members (Sir Gilbert lleatheote and the Hon. Gerard J. Noel) were reelected without opposition. NORTH SHROPSHI RE. The election for the northern division of Shop shire commenced yesterday at Shrewsbury ; the former members, Mr. W.

Lord MANDEVILLE succeeded, and Raid though ,h e WAN still as stiougly as ever in favour of protection , yet as saw the difficulty of attempting to renes% it while the feel ing of the country remained as opposed a,, at present to that policy. At the same time, he looked ter such measures of relief (ruin the present administration as would enable the agricultural class to meet their altered circumstances.
