Upon that subject he expressed his opinions, which opinions he hail retained up to that mo wn?. (Cheers) At the beginning of the year, when lkrby wonted the reins of power, the question of Inc trade and protection was understood to be the male eater , t on which the representation of that seal oe-ir •nties would turn.

(Cheers.) if any one doubted that fin or bail the hardihood to dispute it he would be ready to poll the agricultural labourers of the r.wety—;erect ebeering)—and to sec whether he would c.l he rammed by a moority of at least ten to one. (*k nee. d ch. clang.) Ile had listened with groat attention to the •pre rho . made by Mr. Disraeli in the last and in former ei aeons on the subject of the reversal of free trade, and e o n. sir beard him venture to come within one hun dred • I f sownieg that he viewed the restoration sat r oe moo as poesildo. (Cloven and disapprobation.)

(Loud Owen.) But if the restore tom of protection was impossible, it was needless for him to oiesspy time in iliscussing its merits. (Cheers and laughter.) la the year 1841 Lord Melbourne's salministra. non prope.eal to the country an Be. duty on wheat in lieu of the std lung scale of that day. That proposition was put to the &lite rate voice of the *pantry. He had not at that tins the honour of a seat in parliament, but en honourable friend near him, who was at that time member for the county, found that is eonsequenee of his advocacy of that duty the general feeling was so strong against lien that he hat to relinquish the honour of representing them. A nmdar eeriliet was passed in other agricultural tonotituen ca.., and that of of a compromise between the party sash asked fur the abolition of the duty on corn and the giverament was deliberately rejected. Now, in his opi nion, it had been a great misfortune for the country that that offer WWI rejected ; it would have caused a pried of transition beneheial to the agricultural classes. (Hear, hear) It would have prevented that painful state of re action, and that attempt to recover that which is irrecover able, which has marked the last „oil years of our history. (Hear, bear.) But when a compromise of that nature had been ones rejected, the gaining party stood on its extreme rights, and a compromise afterwards became impracticable. (Hear, hear.) The only proposition that now met any umpteen was that of the imposition of a duty of in. upon wheat, which would be 4s. in addition to the duty now levied un that article. Now, supposing, merely for the sake of argument, gar it were practicable to impose a duty of 4.., he WM% what amount of relief it would give them. (Cries of " None.") By the time that additional duty of 4s. had been shared between the landlord and the tenant—(A voice "And parson")—yes, and the clergyman, no doubt, and the agricultural labourer, and the miller, and the baker —all of whom *out,' have their share of it—what real relief would the agricultural interest obtain from the imposition of • duty of 4.. ? (Cheers.) He believed that • 4a. duty would turn out to be as great a disappointment as any mea sure rich any enemy could propose. (A voice ' The agricultural iuterest wants justice.") Bat with regard to the more numerous complaiaing and suffering cleans—the tenant farmers—he suspected in many cases, where the land lord was nut its to deal liberally, the effect of a 48. duty would be this —that the remissions of rent 'beady made would be recalled. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") They would be told they had got the protection they were taking for—they would be told they had got the protection they were entitled to—they would he told they had got everything which Mr. Disraeli and Lord Derby, the tned friends of the agricul tural interest, could obtain fur them, and therefore they must pay their old rents. (Loud cheers end laughter.) He therefore, that a Se. duty would be a angatery and deceptive rebel to the agricultural interest. (Led sheen) But he would just suppose that they go t it—herelses would they keep it ? (Cheers.) That lithe materiel question for those who talk about restoring pretests 's. (Cheers) Pro tietioninvans that you are to get whke is to raise the price of corn for the benefit of those whe yeedaos it, for if those who sell corn do not get a higher prime they will not thank you for protection. Be did mit dipole that the country prospered wader a restricted tomb In corn ; but maintained that the eseatry proparei in spite of that system, a not in semeresese Of it.

(Cheers, and cries of " No.") Why, the ground of the opposition to him (Mr. Lewis) was the difference on the subject of protection. and he wished to knew whether his competitors have not al avowed them e/lees the supporters of Lord Derby's government ? (Chsi rs.) Lord Derby:s government had formally aban doned protection . (Mr. Booker: No, no.) He said, therefore, that no Babe man who had read the speeches gad addressee of the members of the present government could oleo , his ion nt to the proposition that Lord Derby's go sernltleot hail formally ahaadoned protection. (Cheers.) Mr. T. W BOOKER said, after the experience which he had had in public life he was certain that free trade was im pwsible in this couatry—(" no, no," and greet interruption) —ant then the only safe policy under which this country can be governed, or its institutions preserved, was that same old policy of protect's:46—(. oh ! oh !" sad ironic./ cheers)—and under which the bra attained the greatest height of glory, happiness, prosperity, and renown that ova was attained by gl say country on he civilised obe.

Was there any man who, while hest determined to maintain, had shown *greater anxiety as mean* the institutions under which this country had amoriabed ? (Ironical cheers.) Lord Derby took a part in eeefeing that petal charter of their libertin—the sdirrn hill. Was not Lord Derby • member of the administration which took • leading part in the aboli tion of that practice which had so long been a disgrace to Imassity—the slave trade ? And was it not under Lord lathy • auspices that the nation responded in • manner et eh dolt Mr immortal honour, and broke the manacles fn in the shaekled slave ? fled the noble lord ever shown . If addicted b. anything but to preserve the rights and hhtrtre . • of his country ? (Hear.) But let them now light this battle upon its rent issue, between what they term, d thiir free trade policy, and the policy which, as long as he Lad enioyed their suffeeiree, he had strenuously supported. It •as his ronination that there should be no maunder 'Amelia" between him and his constituents. He had, once and for all, avowed himself before them sa • protectionist, sail as a proteetionii it was hie intention to give • humble but independent rapport to the present nieerannet as tone as they adhered to protectionist redteletee (Clines.) His hon. frii col on the other side had lowered theta,. prosperity of the rerenUr, the ilimi• twits tf j %meters' and crime-, and every oth , .r test be whieh • nation's prosperity could be tried, were in favour eV' the polies which h a d o f late prevailed. (Cheere.) But if one of these assertions were true, he would say, is the words of his honourable friend Mr. Lewis, that these her were produced in spite of the policy which had been adopted. Now, as to the increase of the during the last tees years, they bad had • surplus revenue of 18,850,0001., and during that time there arose deficiencies of nearly right millions. (Cries of "The harms years.") There was, therefore, for the ten years ending 1861, • mor phia of les s than 11,u1A0,0001. This wa. during their boasted free-trade policy. What was the state of affairs under pro tection? Duriog the ten years ending 1531, the surplus revenue amounted to 34,600,01.101., in the course of which • deficiency of 3,000,0001. occurred, reducing the available surplus to 22,000,0001. showing a total of 11,000,0001. in favour of the ten years of protection while in the ten years ending 1861, taxation had been reduced to 13,600,0001., and in the former period to 114,40,0001. (Applause and disapprobation.) lie had been astonished to hear Mr. Lewis say that Mr. Disraeli had challenged the opposition in the House of Commons, to point out one word in any speech of his (Mr. Disraeli's) or that of his noble chief (Kirl Derby) that any attempt would be made for the restoration of protection. 11 he sesertion attributed to Mr. Disraeli had been made in his (Mr. Booker's) hearing; but was it not • fact that, premed as my Lord Derby was in his platy in the Home of Lords, he openly avowed that of all the measures which he believed most practicable and most available was a re imposition of a duty upon foreign corn, but that this woe • question for the country to decide ? Ili, honourable friend hail denied having voted against a committee to ' inquire into agricultural distress; but when the Ciro cellur of the Eschequer had a surplus , and when I Mr. Disrseli made a motion that in any reduction of taxa. tion attention should lie given to the alleviation of the bur dons of the distressed owners and occupiers of land—a die tress which our most gracious Sovereign in the speech from the throne had been made to acknowledge—against the motion he humbly htliesed his hon. friend heel recorded his vote. (Cheers, hisses, and cries of t. The lash.") The Vexation of this country amounted to something like 21, Ws. on every head of the population ; anti he asked them whether it was • fair weight to carry in the great race of competition, when the taxation ILI America amounted to only about Ms.. and in How Ito 7a. ? Ile proceeded to argue that an import duty of 64. per quarter would not prevent the importation of corn; hut it would benefit the farmer by enabling the go vernment to repeal some of the taxes which now premed so heavily on the agricultural classes. Ile was an anxious as any man for the larger loaf, but wished to see it the produce of the industry of our own country. After • lengthened reference to the conduct of the late Sir Robert Peel, in re pealing the torn laws, and a general review of the argu ments in favour of protection, the hon. gentleman concluded by expressing his confident belief that he should again have the honour of representing this county in parliament. lie resumed his seat amidst cheers and hires. Mr. J. K. KING and Csptaiu lisisiteax also addressed the electors, expressing their erscurrence in Lord Derby's government, and pledging themselves to do all in their power to !illerite the distress of the agricultural interest— s( not by protection, at least by such other measures as might be devised. A show of hands was then taken, which the sheriff de cured to he in favour of Mr. Lewis, Mr. Booker, and Mr. Banbury, Mr. Lewis having an overwhelming majority. A poll we demanded for Mr. King, which will take place on Frolaj(ind Saturday next. Tat: EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 14. WEST SUFFOLK. The election of two members to serve in parlia ment for the western division of the county of Suffolk took place yesterday (Tuesday), on the Angel•hill, Bury St. Ed mund's. There wu no conteit, the candidates being ler. Philip Bennet, jun., and Mr. 11. S. Waddington, who re presented the diviaion in the last parliament, and the pro ceedings were characterised throughout by the greatest decorum. NORTH ESSEX. ----- The nomination of candidates for the representa tion of the northern division of the county of Essex, took place at Braiutree yesterday. Mr. J. A. Hots BLOM then stood forward to nominate Sir J. Tyroll as a fit and prope r person to represent the northern division of the county o f Essex in the ensuing parliament. He said the agricultural interest had been suffering under unparalleled difficulties during the last few years, and as parliament had produced the mischief parliament was bound to ascertain and to administer the remedy. (Groans and hisses.) To render Lord Derby's services available, they must strengthen his hands by returning proper representa tives to parliament; and for that reason it was that he now nominated his hon. friend Sir J. Tyrell. (Tremendous groans and Mmes.) Mr. 0. 8. ONLIT seconded the nomination. Mr. C. G. ROVWD then nominated the Right Hon. Wil liam Beresford, who had served them faithfully, diligently, and ably, during the last parliament, and was therefore eminently entitled to a renewal if their confidence. Mr. C. Du Cave:the member elected for Maldon, se. cooded Mr. Beresford's nomination amidst loud uproar. The Rev. Sir Amu Pans WOOD said he had to propose for the acceptance of the freeholders the name of m acecom plished gentleman lost connected with the advocacy of the rights and privileges of the people, Mr. Thomas Barrett Lennard. (Load cheers.) Mr. J. D. S. VAlllllrrecOndid Mr. Leonard's nomination. Sir JOHN TYRRLL then presented himself, and was received with groans. biome, and a few cheers. He said that he could not compliment gentlemen on the other side on their faithful adherence to their principle of civil liberty, unless indeed that principle consisted in hearing only one side of the question. (Groans and great uproar.) Ile could assure gentlemen opposite, who had so large an appetite for the big loaf, that he wished from the bottom of his heart that they had a cheap loaf at that moment in every one of their mouths. (hisses.) Ile stood as their old and faithful servant, having nothing to promise and nothing to hold out to them, except his desire to record his conscientious opinion in favour of measures which he thought for the benefit of the country. The question at hese was whether they had confidence in Lord Derby, after whom , as Lord Maidstone had said at Westminster would be the deluge. (Laughter and cries of " the suffrage.") With regard to the franchise he would remind them that Lord John Russell himself had stated on the hustings that he must consider what would be for the good of the country, and also what he would be able to tarry. He (Sir John Tyrell) had a right to make the same reply. (Groans and uproar.) He had no doubt that those who now hooted him would be as ready to cheer him ilk. were about to be hanged. (Laugh ter.) If they were to have free trade in corn, why should they not have free trade in manufactures ? Why, at pre sets!, there were fifty or sixty ankh*, suck as cotton and silk, and goods partly mad* up, elfish enjoyed a protective duty of 10 or 1.5 per cent. at this essessat. He had therefore aright Wry that what was mem he the gam should be sauce for the gander. All be seed Ise the fuser was fair pla7 and an alleviatica et Ns bwrinst. That was the relief which lord Derby wished to ism an. Mr. BRII.RBMED than steed forward to address the amemblage, wine the goner and clamour reached its ell Min.

I weal to the firmisideve on this isses. Tea have to decide upon the anftoaiale principles either of Lord John Russell's or Lord Derby's government. Mr. Leonard, who is a gentle man is a follower of Lord J. Russell—l am a follower of Lord Derby. Upon that issue I stand—upos that WPM I will fall. _ _ _ faaiiaart.n neat addressed the westing in behalf of Me. Leonard, who was absent. The 1110 K Slimmer, before taking the sinus of the meet inn, latiaated that it would be better that there should be a show of hats instead of a show of heads. Mr. COPILAND, u an elector, protested against that course willegal. Many of those who paid taxes were' denied the suffrage, but the eeestitetices of their country gave them the rieht of expressing their voice as to the fit ness of the different candidates by the show of hands. Therefore, a show of hats would exclude those who might wear caps, and who yet might be as honest and upright ea the right hon. candidate, who had always been a leech suck lag the vitals of the eountry. Sir JOHN TYRELL, on behalf of himself and his right hon. friend, Mr. Beresford, requested that the high sheriff would not deviate from the usual practice of taking a show of hands. The High Sheriff at length complied with this request, and the show of hands was taken accordingly. The result was declared to be in favour of Mr. Lenard and Sir John Mr. ROUND then demanded a poll on the part of Mr. Beredord, which will commence on Friday neat. Thanks having been voted to the high sheriff the meet ing dispersed. EAST WO] Yesterday (Tuesday) the election of the eastern divisma of the meaty of Worcester took place at Droitwieh.

His address to the electors is as follows : " Gentlemen,—l am unable to prolong the contest, but, though defeated, the cause which I have defended hes won. The farmers have lately received advice from two opposite parties—the one pointing backward to the flesh pots of protection, the other urging them to struggle for. ward through their difficulties on the path of improvement. Protection has this year fallen ridiculously, not by the as. sault of its enemies, but by the desertion of its supporters. Whether the dreams of other relief will be realised a few weeks will show; but in any ease the farmers will soon dir cover what blind guides they have followed. Improvement, on the other hand, has more resources than ever to offer ; and its loudest opponents, stooping from the heights of their eloquence, must soon pay to it • silent tri bute by consenting to purchase new measures and less un couth implements. Chemistry and mechanism have beaten polities and protection. When I made a stand against those who were leading the farmers by the wrong road, I knew what I risked, and had counted the cost. In all struggles many must fall, but these, too, are satisfied if they learn that victory is on their side. Deerly feeling the im perfection of my own services and your former kindness, thanking, too, moat warmly those friends who have aided me to rtse last, I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obliged, faithful servant, P. PUSET.—Posey, July 12." OXFORDSHIRE. Late on Monday evening Lord Norreys arrived in Oxford, and met the committee who had put him in nomi nation for the representation of the county. His lordship repudiated their acts, and declared that if elected he would vacate the seat on the emembling of the new parliament. In spite of this the committee 'spewed their determination to carry on the contest; and in consequence of this his lord ship issued the following handbill : "To the Freeholders of the County of Oxford.—Oentlemen,—l have just received intelligence that I was placed in nomination for the representation of the county this morning. I most respectfully but earnestly request thee gentlemen who have so kindly interested themselves on my behalf to desist from any further proceedings; and I trust that all my friends will abstain from recording their votes in my favour, for, if elected, circumstances will compel me to vacate my scat on the assembling of the new parlia ment.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obliged and faithful servant, Norreye—Oxford, Mea ty Evening, July 12, 1852."—This was followed by another from the committee, who stated that the contest would be continued, and that if Lord Norreys was elected and vacated his seat they had another liberal ready to supply the vacancy.

Sir JOHN SII.TAGGART briefly referred to his lencth coed services as representative of the burghs, duties which he had alway7s supported liberal opinions. Mr. CAIRD addressed the electors at considerable length. Ile said he came before them so a working mem ber. Ile advocated the great principle of free trade as one which must he carried out to perfection, and which had conferred the greatest boon upon the country; in proof of which he referred to the results of the measures introduced by Sir Robert l'eel. lie rested his claims to their support upon the electors themselves, and not upon aristocratic influence. Next t. , the consolidation of the principles of free trade the most important question to be discussed in the next parliament wus that of education. Want and ig. nerance were the parents of crime. The evils of want had been remedied by the cheap loaf—those of ignorance most now he removed by the extension of education. In his travels through England and Ireland he had found that the standard of education was now higher in these countries than in Scot land, which was once pre-eminent in this respect. This must be remedied by opening up the parish schools. If sent to parliament he would support every measure tending to raise the condition of the people ; and be would maintain the efficacy of the constitution by gradual amelioration. To go on was conservative—to stand still dangerous —to go back revolutionary. lle then referred to the present con dition of Frattee in illustration of the truth of these prin ciples. After some remarks upon the conduct of his oppo ' neat, whom he accused of acts of intimidation, and making some local allusions, Mr. Coned concluded by stating that he rested his claims upon his advocacy of the principles of free trade, and the right of private Judgment. The Sht riff then tiled the poll for Wednesday, the 14th inst., and the proceedings, which had b e en conducted with much spirit, and at OW same time good humour, ter minates'.

Anything to equal the awful results are not upon record, end as time presses, I will merely mention that the 3rd Dragoons and Infantry were pelted with stones, and severely injured by the female portion of the mob, which amounted to at least 20,000 persons favourable to the Roman catholic candidates, Serjsant O'Brien and Mr. Potter. Five of the dragoons were unhorsed and two oaken wounded in the fan by missiles hurled at them. Then are 13 persons under treat ment at Barrington's Hospital consequent upon the conflict. The court was opened at half-past ten o'clock, when the candidates and their friends were admitted to the galleries. To depict the scene would at this moment be impossible. Benches, bars, and seats, were torn up by the mob in the liberal interest, and burled with tremendous violence at Mr. Russell and his friends, several of whom were cut and I wounded. A men was flung from the gallery, and spiked on the rails beneath. Mr. Russell was proposed by Mr. William Howley, end seconded by Mr. Robert Rodger. Sonoma O'Brien was proposed by Mr. Monsen, late M.P. for this county, and seconded by the Rev. John Beahan, P.P., &Allay's.

Not one word could be heard from either proposers or me anders, and the candidates at either side were not allowed to speak a word. This evening the windows of every Ro man catholic in Limerick, promised to support Mr. Russell, were shivered to atoms by the mob, and military and police are in requisition in all quarters." MALLOW.
