Lindsay, the liberal and nassecenaftd candidate fee the representation of thus burghs, hen ad dressed to is a letter, In which, after premising that he had determined to incur none but " legitimate" eapeaer, Ms. printing and advertising and a share of the ling baths, he proceeds to say how he aped when the day of the election arrived:— " Everything seemed in our farm till the night before the election, when our committee made their last rounds. Many viten who had promised could then not be toned ; they were either out of town or stowed away in some nyo. terkus place. The morning came. The colour of the conservatives was blue ; that of the liberals red. Polling commenced at eight o'clock. A whole street of small voters, who had distinctly promised to vote for the liberal cause, had, before 10 a m., polled for the blues, and various others who declared they would stick to their whines and tote in accordance with their conscience after two p.m., unless they got upwards of 20i. per head, polled for blues by half past nine a.m. Votes appear'd to be dear in the morning, but, eontrary to the usual custom, and when it was found the red party would not buy, their market value fell in the afteraoon, for at 1 p.m. an exprossarrived offering me the votes of 100 • free and independent elec tors ' for 20s. a head, and at half-past two other four very respectfully offered themselves for halta•crowa each; and when this was declined, they were willing to support free trade for the low charge of 3d. eaeh, the valise of a pint of hoer. While all this was going ea, the sane is the town wee perfectly indescribable.

These men, as the peaceable liberals mass to the poll, assaulted them, and drove them away. This naturally so exasperated the town people, who were chiefly liberals, that they in tarn attacked the int., drove these fellows on manse from it, tore down the dome, forced out the windows, and so dis mantled the house, that when I passed it tins morning, there was nothing but the bare walls, and a tattered blue flag visible. This was the commencement of the many dis graceful scenes which followed, and which prevented a great number of our stanch but peaceable supporters, who could not be bought, from recording their votes, so that there were 362 who did not poll.

Several severe accidents have lately incurred at these works. A few days sea a poor mart met with his death in a shocking manner. By some swans he wm run over by two of the very heavy wag-' . gone employed in conveying the rocks and stones to the new pier. One thigh and an arm were , nearly severed from the body, and he only survived an hour. A day or two after this accident one of the stages gave way, and half a donen men, who were working a crane employed in piling, were thrown into the water. They were spee dy rescued, and no lives were lost, but several men were seriously injured. GREAT FREE TRADE MEETING 1N — oi.iisb — oiv. In acnordance with it numeroualy signed requisi tion, which had been presented to the chief magistrate, • great public meeting of the inhabitants was held in the Trades' Hall on Friday afternoon, for the purpose of consi dering " the present position of free trade." Long before the hour fixed for the muting, the doom of the hall were besieged by • numerous sasemblage, and when the proceed ings commenced, the spacious apartment was crowded to excess by • large number of most respectable and in fluential chinos. The platform was occupied by the leading members of the local Anti-Corn-Law League. The Hon. the Loan Paovost (who wee unenintously called upon to preside), having stated the object of the meeting, contended that the corn laws could never more be re-imposed, and although the agitation of the question might temporarily uneettle trade and commerce, the policy of this country.would never be retrogressive. (Rear.) WALTEN BCCHANAN, Esq., then proposed the first reso lution, which is as follows That this meeting recognise in the extension of our import and export trade, in the con tinued increase of the national revenue, and in the general prosperity and comfort of all classes of the community, the most conclusive evidence of the sound principle and benefi cial operation of a free trade poliey, and view with alarm the accession to office of a ministry whose avowed policy is to restore the unjust and impolitic system of protecting the owner of land by imposing a tax on the food of the people. That ' compensation to the owner of land,' whether by re • adjustment of taxation, or by any other means, is alike im politic and unjust, and liable to the same objections as direct protection duties; end such compensation, being avowedly an equivalent for protection, involves the same unjust prin ciple, that the general community may be taxed for the special benefit of a privileged clans." 8. 11100INBOTNAN, Eaq., seconded the resolution, which, like all the others, was passed by acclamation. A. GRAHAM, Esq., seconded in an able speech by W. P. PATON, Esq., move d—" That commercial reciprocity, and the adoption of • free-trsde policy by other nations, can only be brought about by friendly negotiation, and by the liberal example set by this country ; that a policy of retalia tion is most injurious to the country pursuing it; and that no greater impediment can be thrown in the way of com mercial reciprocity with other countries than by delaying to assure the world that free trade is the settled and irrever sible policy of Great Britain." Bailie UOILILLAT, seconded by JABTJ SCOTT, ESQ., moved the third resolution, " That the doubt and un certainty which the accession of a protectionist ministry to office has thrown over this question are most injurious to ' every branch of trade, and that the continuance in office of &ministry pledged to restore or to give compensation for protection would endanger the peace and good order of I society; and this meeting, therefore, resolve to oppose, by ' every constitutional means, any attempt which may be made to re-impose a duty on foreign corn r or to throw a greater proportion of taxation on other classes of the com munity on pretence of relieving the owners and occupiers of land. And further resolve that they will not support any • parliamentary candidate or the representation of Glasgow t who will not maintain, and endeavour to extend, the appli cation of the principles of free trade." Councillor Mott (who spoke from the body of the hall) r proposed uan addition to the motion " That in the opi nion of the meeting, the continued security of free trade I demanded at the earliest possible period a great increase in the constituencies, and a great enlargement of the electoral franchise ;" but on being assured by the chairman that if I • requisition were presented to biro, he would call and pre ' side over a meeting for the extension of the suffrage, Mr. Moir did not preen his amendment, and the original motion was carried nem. nos. A vote of thanks to the Lord Provost fur presiding termi nated the proceedings, and the meeting thereafter separated. POLICY. (Fran the Daly Neu..) Two accusations were advanced against Lord DEBBY almost at the same instant of time : one of attempting to retract or evade a plidge, by an Mime diate ffissdution of parliament, to ascertain the sense of the country on the character and policy of his go vernment ; the other of having on a former occasion betrayed a tyrannical disposition and contempt of the. rights of electors. The latter charge was mode and commented on by only one member of parliament (Mr. Corier), and by one newspaper (the Daily News). The former was made in the first instance by two noble lords (the Duke of NEWCASTLE and Lord MINTO) between whom no political concert exists ; taken up subsequently by Lord AWN Itessre.n; indignantly commented on by the whole liberal press; and spoken of with shame and humiliation by the greater part of the conservatives. The in correctly reported anti-ballot speech of Lord STANLEY was by most people regarded as of the past; by too many with little serious condemnation ; the attempt to wriggle out of hie promise of an early dissolution, was regarded and denounced by liberals as ominous of a grave violation of the constitution, and by con servatives as discreditable to their party . DERBY immediately and loudly vindicated his historical reputation ; he has not yet said one word to exonerate . himself of the imputation of bad faith, or to allay the prevailing fear that lie contemplates a violation of the constitution. This eagerness to raise a controversyon a question of more remote interest, and to a guarded silence on one of immediate practical importance looks suspiciously hie an attempt to divert attention from the latter, and such an attempt necessarily implies that he finds it difficult, if not impossible, to repel the charg Onthe 20th of March Lord DERBY led the House of Lords to believe that the business of the present session would be wound up, the present parliament dissolved, and a new one elected ; and the new par liament assembled to declare whether his uii tt istry possess or do not possess its confidence "before the autumn should have passed." Lord Denny pleaded constitutional forms and etiquette as a reason for not being more explicit as to time. He said he would not say that the new election would take place in April, May, or June; lending men by the voluntary and uncalled-for specification of these months to be lieve that the dissolution would take place in one or other of them. On the 30th of March Lord MINTO, while addressing a question to Lord LYNDHURST, incidentally remarked that Lord DEBBY had led them to expect an early dissolution and a short ses sion immediately after the general election. These expressions were certainly warranted by the pro mises of the 20th of March ; but they elicited from Lord DERBY a hasty, peremptory denial that he had led any person to expect an early dissolution and a short autumnal session. When the Duke of New- CASTLE came to the aid of Lord MINT°, Lord Defier attempted to qualify his retractation by arguing that ho had not specified any month for the dissolution —(nobody said he had)—and by declining that he did not contemplate a prorogation atter the autumnal session—(nobody cared about this merely formal question). These minor specialties are utterly unworthy of notice ; the gist of the charge against Lord DERBY is, that having pledged himself to an early dissolution and a general election; and having by this pledge prevailed upon the House of Commons to pass the Mutiny Bill and voto the greater part of the estimates, le—as soon as these votes have been procured—seeks to wriggle out of the promise which obtained them, and maintains that he is entitled to spin out the present session as long as he may deem convenient for himself, and throws doubts on the time when the next session is to be held, and the course he is to pursue on it. The only interpretation that can be put on such language is that Lord DERBY, having his mind at rest on the subject of the supplies, determined to spin out the present session as long as he can ; to gain time, in the hope that by some piece of partia -1 mentary or electioneering finesse he may strengthen his hold of office ;—to keep all parties in Ignorance of his intentions, in order that he may adopt any policy, however crooked, that promises to be subservient to his interests. Conduct like this naturally provokes indignant remonstrance from his political opponents, angry shame in every honourable mind of his own party. But Lord DERBY, the most sensitive of men, pa tiently endures this obloquy. Ho hears himself accused on all aides of breach of faith, and remains silent. He delegates to Mr. DISRAELI the task of explaining or apologising for the inconsistency of the language he held on the 30th of March, with that which he held on the 20th of the same month. And what, after all, says Mr. DISRAELI? " All we can say is, that at a period when such business as wit deem indispensable shall hare Leen transucteJ, we shall humbly recommend her MAJESTY to dissolre this parliament. Who knows or can guess what busi seas Mr. DISRAELI and his colleagues may please to deem, or affect to deem, indispensable ? The truth is that ministers have contrived to evade any distinct and explicit promise to ab stain from any but the most indispensable business in the present parliament, or to take the sense of the country by an early general election; and by mystifying parliament with vague and unmean ing promises—with phrases uttered one day and re tracted or modified the next—they have contrived to persuade the House of Commons, by voting tho greater part of the supplies, to emancipate them selves in a great measure from their control. If the opposition do not bestir itself more peremptorily, and with more of earnest purpose than it has yet evinced, the DERBY ministry will laugh it to se mm, and ride rough-shod over every constitutional form that op poses their lawless intentions. Ministers have made up their mind to postpone as long as they can the evil day of prorogation and dis solution. They reserve a right to bring forward any ameaware they may pretend to think indispensable. They have introduced a militia bill which could wait dll next year. They have asked for and obtained a committee of the Lords upon India, which, if it is to be of any use, must sit for months. The HOME liseaerear has given notice of a bill to introduce a new electoral qualification. They are cutting out parliamentary business for an unusually long see -11106. The remaining money votes are the only means by which opposition can prevent the Ministry of tho Minority from persevenng in this unconstitutional course. Mr. DISRAELI, inspired with confidence by his success in deluding them hitherto, now openly laughs in their faces. He has told them that he will rrocced with the committee of supply on Monday this evening), and that he will tell them on Tuesday to-morrow) what arrangements government propose to make for carrying on the public business. If the Op position have any regard for their own characters as men of common sense and average firmness—if they have any regard for the constitutional rights of tho people, and the dignity and utility of the Ilouse of Com mons—they will insist upon the intimation of the arrangements for carrying on the public business contemplated by government being made before another farthing of the public money is voted. They have to do with men less tied by any sense of ho nesty and shame than any L r nglish ministry on record. They have allowed themselves to be wheedled out of money on pretexts so shallow, so transparently insincere, the the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER flouts them even when asking a favour of them. Ministers can only bo arrested in their reckless career by being made to feel that unless they stop they will be placed in minorities on all tho yet I:nvoted items of Supply, and on the Appropria tion Act. PIEDMONTESE TELEGRAPUS.—The Risorgimento of Turin, of the 27th, publishes the text of a royal decree, fixing a provisional tariff for telegraphic despatches be tween Turin and Genoa. Each despatch is to be delivered to the telegraph-office, written in a clear legible hand, without abbreviatiees, signed by the person that sends it, and viso'd by the government functionary appointed for the purpose. No despatch is to be accepted that might bo prejudicial to the interests or security of the state. The tax is fixed at four centimes per kilometre for every despatch not exceeding twenty words ; seven centimes per kilo metre, if the despatch contains more than twenty and less than fifty words; and nine centimes from that limit to one hundred words. For the address, date, hour, end signs , tare, a hued duty of two francs is prescribed, including the charge fur the transmission by messenger to the house of the perAun to whom the despatch is addressed. Any function ary convicted of having disclosed the contents of a private despatch to any but the person to whom it is addressed, is to be disinissedat once, and to be responsible betore the tri bunals for any mischief resulting from such violation of hie duty. Turin, Alexeandria , and Genoa, are the only sta tions as yet authorised to transmit despatches. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Aran. 3. You were informed yesterday, by electric tele graph, of the significant fact that Dr. Cullen was placed at the head of the list of three whew names are to be transmitted to Rome for the selection of a rummy to the late Archbishop Murray. The elec tion took place with all the usual formalities, which were invested on the occasion with the utmost pomp. The sombre paraphernalia of mourning in which the Roman Catholic metropolitan church had been enve loped since the death of the late archbishop disap peared duringtho night, and yesterday morning that tine building was seen once more in all its splendour. The altar was arranged fora solemn high mass; an excellent choir was in attendance, and the church was crowded with a respectable congregation, with the exception of a portion of the centre nave which had been railedoff for the accommodation of the clergy who were to take pat t in the election. At the conclusion of the mass the laity, and such of the clergy as were not entitled to vote were required to leave the church, and accordingly retired, when the doors were closed, and the election proceeded, the three suffragan bishops, the parish priests, and canons alone being present The total number of electors in the archdiocese is 34, and of these three were absent. The votes were as follows : Archbishop Cullen (Digniesimus) Very ROT. Dean Meyler (Dignior) 9 Rev. L Dunne, P.P. (NV* . . The following were also put in nomination :—Rev. William Meagher, who had 5 votes; the Rev. Dr. O'Hanlon, of Meynooth, 3 votes; the Rev. Dr. Russell, of Maynooth, 2 votes; and Rev. Dr. Miley, president of the Irish College, Paris, 1 vote. The three first names, to which the epithets of dignus, dignior, and dignissimus, are applied, are, however, the only ones which will be forwarded to Rome ; and with so overwhelming a majority in favour of Primate Cullen, even if there had not been any understanding on the subject before, it is easy to see that the Pope will inevitably appoint him to the va cant see. I have called the result of this election a significant fact, and such it undoubtedly is. No more marked evidence of the feelings which predo minate in the great body of the Roman catholic clergy of Ireland could be given, and these feelings are thus clearly indicated to be those of total obedi once to the wishes of Rome, and total indifference to those of any English government. The public were pretty well prepared for this result by general ru mour, as it was well enough understood that, if Dr. Cullen were really a candidate, his election was cer tain; but the circumstance hat his appointment would reduce him to a lower grade in the Roman catholic hierarchy of Ireland was still a difficulty through which most people could not see their way. The Tablet of this morning says, on the subject of this election : The descent from a higher to a lower ecclesiastical dignity presents no greater difficulty. Everybody knows that Pope , Pius IX. was Archbishop of Spoleto, and from that higher dignity was translated to the bishopric of Imola ; and we are informed that such descents, though not positively fre quent, are of no unusual occurrenceon the continen t. t. ln the present instance the dignity of papal delegate will rule , over all minor questions of rank and precedence. Rumour adds that Dr. Cullen is likely to be in vested, not only with the privileges of " papal delegate" or legate, but with the full-blown honours of cardinal ; but this, notwithstanding the number of improbable things which come to pass, is scarcely credible. It is understood that the Hon. Mr. Preston, son of Lord Oornutnston, and Mr. O'Neill Segrave are the Defence Association's candidates for the county of Dublin, in opposition to the present members, Colonel Taylor and Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Serjeant Shee has addressed the electors of the county of Kilkenny. His principles, which are well known in this country, are those of tenant right, free trade, anti-state-church endowment, and anti- Ecclesiastical Titles Act. There can be very little doubt of his success. Sir Charles Coote is up for the Queen's county on the tory interest, and his friends flatter themselves that his appearance will frighten all competitors from the field. It is generally understood that Mr. Butt, who has been most unfortunate in all his electioneering . pro jects, has not the remotest chance of getting in for Youghal. A dreadful murder was discovered yesterday morn ing in the county of Kilkenny. The body of a poor woman, supposed to be a hawker, was found near a gate in a field, with dreadful fractures on her head, • purse which she carried having been rifled. A man and his wife have been arrested on strong sus picion. On last Sunday, respites were received by the Governor of the Maryborough Gaol, commuting the sentence of death, passed last assizes on Matthew 'Colgan, John Fahy, and William Bergen, to trans portation for life; and yesterday these convicts were transmitted to the Mountjoy government prison, preparatory to their being sent to one of the penal settlements.
