ENOL1S11116:4 are, at length, becoming aware that American politics must, sooner or later, largely affect the politics of Europe, and that the time is drawing on. There is a considerable party within our own islands, and a much larger one on the continent, which thinks and talks a great deal about the pro- bable intervention of the Americans on behalf of ' European freedom. At home, the talk about this is free and open; abroad, it is necessarily conducted in whispers, in by-corners, or by the freemasonry of signs. In the United States the question is clamor ously discussed, erected into a political topic, debated in congress, and carried by acclamation in public assemblies. It is this which giCell to Europeans a right to feel an interest in the election of the man who is about to be the head of the American government for four or eight years ; and it is this which makes it a duty for the Engrsh, as the representatives of political freedom in Europe, to understand, if possible, what the great American election really signifies and involves. That which it will signify is more, perhaps, than is gene rally suspected: and that which it involves is a singular mystery. The popular notion of the Ame ricans is that they say all they think and feel about politics. The unbounded license of pen and tongue exhibited in their newspaper press, the strength of language in their stump oratory, the frantic sectional jealousy manifested iu Congress, lead us to suppose that they use to the utmost the freedom of speech which is sanctioned by their boasted free institu tions. But time mac show that the fact is other wise. Time may ;how that what Americans are talking about is something very different from what they arc thinking of; and that under their ostenta tious popular movements there is hidden a secret as impenetralim by strangers as any that conjecture can hunt out in Russia, or humanity hint at in Naples or Rome. Who understands why lIENEr CLAY was never President ?—a lie WEBSTER, with his command ing ability, has 'been trying for the office for half his lite in vain, and will now certainly go to his grave a disappointed man ? Who understands why kost-t Tit, after being sent for from Turkey, with all pomp and circumstance, has sunk into the shade, and his cause with him—clamorous as were millions of the citizens a year ago fur intervention in the affairs of Europe? Who understands the Cul= attair, and the evident intention of renewing that piratical aggression ? Who understands the sudden unanimity of the democratic party in the choice of their candidate, and the difficulty of the Whig party in bringing out any nomination at all? Who under stands the silence of the whole political press, of the electors, and of the candidates, on the subject of slavery--so lately as the topic of the Fugitive Slave law was the leading one in all companies P Surely, some deep mystery is here. It is so. It is the growing premiere of the slavery question, which is at the bottom of it all. HENRY CLAY was the very representative of compro mise : and be tried his hand upon this. But the difficulty was too great for him; and his nation knows at. Ream WEBSTER has used the question for his personal objects, and it has betrayed him, as it ought. He has, in the coarse of his career, coquetted with it— now courting the Abolitionists, a little too late—and then the pro-Slavery party, somewhat too unsteadily ; and finally, breaking through all former professions to make and pass the Fugitive Slave law, which was to be his raft, whereon to transfer him self from the side of Northern to that of Southern in terests—and it has left him stranded in his old age. When Kossuvu arrived, he damaged his cause by not being aware of the mystery we are seeking out. He avowed his intention of being silent on the subject of Slavery, not seeing that ho was wholly divorcing himself from the cause of liberty in the United States. He made the abolitionists his ene mies, and lost the North. In the South, he was dreaded and despised, as the liberator of Hungarian serfs. Moreover, the Southern men, however ready to annex Mexico and Oahe in Eder to extend the territory of Slavery by fire sad sword. have no mind to lee asked to ft where so exteasies of Slavery Isis view. In they scoot do it. Any attempt to seeder their fumes wouldcaps.. them to theifilleale of the world.

All this may explain to no as man sae obtain a hearty nomination sr the who is committed, one way or another, es the slavery question ; and it explains Mr. Puma% slime, and that of his whole party, on the subject which is uppermost in everybody's mind, There meld be no union at all, but by a comma tacit t to be silent. To be sure it is some thing what it would have been for Gam Hum ans, and bar government and people, to review the English sad navy in 1488, under a dead sasses about th e Armada ; but, however = the fact, there it is before no. There is an about the eaknown Puttee, who is mute about slavery. Asset the Whigs, every committed man is rejected ; and the am who is so barely chosen is dis liked and feared because it is suspected that the Free-soil party may have some liberty of speech during his term of rule. It is his military character, regarded as • counterpoise to this small danger, which gives him his infinitesimal majority, and ena bles the Whip to say that they here a candidate. But, it may be said, what is apprehended? A President for a term of four years, with scarcely any power but the veto, can neithsr establish nor abolish slavery; and he becomes, frees his entrance upon office, disconnected from party. This is true. But there is a thing that he can do. He can protract compromise, and pat into sodas the predominance of party. Without the agreement of the President, the Fugitive Slave Law eseld not have pealed The nearer the crisis approaches Which must purify or endanger the Union, the greater is the importance of the leaning of the President. Of that of both can didates, at present, there can be no doubt ; and the PIERCE party pretend to hope to preserve silence, as their candidate is doing now. But what is silence in such a case? The liberator of the slave, and of the whites whoare made slaves with him by the circum scription of social liberties—the liberator of the slave has a function which consists of protest, from end to end. To the pro-slavery advocate, silence is a resource, not only convenient but indispensable, in these reasoning times of ours. The candidate who has professions to offer on every other matter, and nothing but silence on this, is a pro-slavery candi date—understood on all hands to be so. 'these considerations are of moment to us as long as men and bodies of men in this country talk of an Anglo-American Alliance on behalf of the liberties of Europe. It cannot be while the United States are in their present condition. They are on the verge of troubles at wisdom and &encourage. a-head—there is danger and possibly a struggle • b little doubt that mottled peaceably—in *USW to all involved in .. . misfortune slave histitutions.

Again, in order to settle it, the utmost wisdom and national herein will be required ; and if they are obtainable, they are precisely the qualities which will prevent the success of any knight-errantry on behalf of foreign sufferers, while there is at home a yoke which remains unbroken. pinging, by ma 3 That tbe Mee enosesded in testifying ti . love foe Prime, and the Prince has enjoyed the expression of their affection.

The Commandant, Field- Marshal the Count de Palm, and Major Merckel, commanding the engineers, are among these officers. The &tele urges the republicans not to give way to discouragement, but to take an active part in the approaching municipal elections. It considers the ' sr wing trial of universal suffrage as of more import ' lose than either the vote of the 20th of Dec. or the elestions for the Corps Legislatif. On the first occa sion the question put by" yes" or" no" afforded little matter for discussion, and the most absolute censure and rigorous state of siege existed. On March 13 a little more liberty prevailed, but there was still • dictatorship, and the hopes of combating the govern ment candidates was but small. Still in those few places where the republicans gave battle they either won or obtained so respectable • minority . as to astonish all classes of royalists. Their success in the first and second cities of the country ought to en courage them to persevere. They must prove that France of 1789, 1830, and 1818 has not abdicated, and never will abdicate. It mast not be concealed that great results may arise from the approaching elections. The government has on more than one momentous occasion given way to manifestations of public opinion, and it may be reasonably hoped that a manifestation of the electoral body would sen sibly tend towards a return to principles of liberty and a balance of powers. It will not be so easy for the government to influence these communal elections es it was in the case of a single political candidate in a district. There is, therefore, hope that the independent voice of the country will make itself heard. This is bolder language than we have been accustomed to see in any journal since the cesficeletat.

Two event., the funeral of the deceased Henry Clay, sad the festive commemoration of the anni versary of American independence, had absorbed the Mire attention of the community in all parts of the Union, to the almost total neglect of everything else. I Several of the New York papers of the Bth did not appear in consequence of the rejoicings of the pre vious days. The New York Herald, of the 6th, has a tedegrapitis despatch from Washington, detailing the second arrest of Dr. Gardiner, on a new indictment, grow ing out of the recent Mexican claims. The Evening Express of the same date says that several important witnesses have arrived at Washington, from Mexico, to testify in the case, and that the doctor was com mitted by :Judge .Crawford in default of bail in the sum of 60,000 dols. The Herald confidently states that the cause of all these proceedings against Gardiner originatesin aremarkable conflict which has bsengoing on for some time between the Secretary of State (Mr. Webster)and the Seeretaryof the Treasury(Mr.Corwin) fur the permeation of the financial power of the govern. meat. Mr. Fillmore is described as the principal master-spirit in bringing out these strange develop ments ; and he does so because he means to leave the White House untarnished by any improper transactions, as far u his administration is concerned. The result of these investigations (says the Herald), if they go on, may lead to a sudden explosion of the cabinet, and the withdrawal of Messrs. Corwin and Webster—from opposite and different causes—at one and the same time. The remains of Henry Clay were conveyed to the City Hall, New York, on the 3rd inst., and the next day were removed to their last resting-place. While lying in state they were visited by sixty thousand persons. The marks of respect throughout the Union had continued for more than a week ; a longer period than ever observed before for any man in America. A terrible calamity had occurred on the Lth inst. at Staten bland, by the giving way of the Ferry Bridge, and 150 persour were precipitated into the river, about 25 of whom were drowned. On the 4th, a fatal affray took place at Hoboken between two sets of waiters, one set white, the other coloured. Tho whites were Irishmen; ono of the coloured men was killed in the encounter, and some severe wounds indicted on both sides. The steamship Philadelphia, from Aspinwall, arrived at Havannah with 27 passengers and part of the crew sick with cholera and Chagres fever; she had 32 deaths on board, and 13 died after landing at . Sand Key, where the Havannah authorities bad sent the ship, refusing to allow the paesengers to land either at Havannah or Key West. An extensive fire broke out on the evening of the sth in an oil manufactory at Brooklyn, which de stroyed property to the amount of 50,000 dole. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. There was very little change in business Mace the Franklin sailed, on account of everybody being engaged in the cele bration of the 76th anniversary of national independence. Money was quite as obtainable as ever, and on as good terms. The cotton muket wu steady at former quotations, and business to a very moderate amount only had transpired. The crop wu said to be very promising in the whole of the southern states. Breadstuff' were In rather more demand, especially fresh ' ground state flour. The inquiry fur wheat for export was also good, and fair for local consumption; rye quiet; barley dull and nominal ; oats more abundant, and the market easier; prime shipping lots of Indian corn were scorns and wanted. No change in any kind of provisions. Bills on London were quoted 1101 to 1101; Paris, sf. Mc. to sf. 16e. prem.; Amsterdam, 401 to 41 ; Bremen, 781 to 70; Hamburg, 361 to 381.

RIOTS AT ROSS.-DESTRUCTION OF THE FULL ISUUI►B. A correspondent, writing from Buss on Saturday evening, says :—The picturesque and tranquil little town has been the scene of serious riots. Much excitement existed yesterday among the supporters of the popular can didate, Mr. Cornewall Lewis, from an impression that the squires, parsons, and wealthy farmers were putting the screw upon the small freeholder to an extent likely to turn the election--and from a belief that the freo traders had not fair play at the poll books. There was some ground for the charge, for in one instance which I personally witnessed two tory gentlemen (Sir Joseph Bailey and his son), wore admitted by an entrance closed to the public, though there were many (tee-trade voters who had been waiting impi - tiently for hours before the usual entrance without gaining admittance. This partiality produced much indignation, and was afterwards discontinued. Thu morning there was great excitement throughout the town, in consequence of its becoming known that Mr. Palmer, a large farmer in the neighbourhood, had been tampering with the navvies on the line near Rom. Mr. Killock, the superintendent of the work', had, however, used his exertions to cheek his men, having found that Mr. Palmer had given them a hogshead of cider, and that many of the men were drunk. It appears that notwithstanding this, about 100 of the navvies proceeded to hose this morn ing, and they soon came into collision with the townspeople. Some time after a party of the townsmen hearing they were obstructing voters from Aston Ingham, went out and drove them away, end broke the windows. In the mean while the Rev. Powell Symonds, the chairman of the pro tectionist committee, without consulting his brother magis trates, sent to Hereford for • party of pollee. About 2.4 or 30 police and special constables were despatched and reached the polling ground, a field just out of Ross, between 2 and 3 o'clock. They were said to have uttered party cries as they approached, but of this I have not positive evidence. They were however regarded as partisans, and the people rushed at them, drove them off the ground, and fairly hunted them over Wilton-bridge , _ and sent them back to Hereford. One or two of the Hereford constables were severely injured, and it was. reported that one was dead, but I ascertained that the injury was not so severe as was at first apprehended, as he was able to return to Ilerefurd. After the double repulse of the "navvies" and of the Hereford police the mob attacked the poll booth (No. 3), cleared it, and destroyed the poll books, and one or two persons suspected of partiality had narrow escapes of their lives. The under-sheriff and several officials at booth No. 1 then made a precipitate retreat. Several voters who should have polled at Nos. 1 and 3 now tendered their voter at No. 2, the only oco at which the clerks and deputy sheriff remained. These votes were not taken, and many others were tendered at the other booth, and remained us polled. About five minutes before four booth No 2 was attacked and the books there destroyed. The mob then advanced to the front of the Royal Hotel in great numbers, and seemed to listen good humoured], to the band that was then playing. Mr. Cornewall Lewis's committee prevailed on the people to remove the banners and caricatures which had been carried about, and endea voured to impress upon them that the election being now over, they should remove everything which w as calculated producete excitement or party feeling. This advice was, perhaps, unfortunate, for the attention of the mob was then directed to the King's Head, where the protectionists had their committee-room. On reaching the front of that hotel a free-trader was attacked by one of the protectionists, and this act of aggression led to an attack upon the house, and in three minutes not • bit of glass or window-frame remained unbroken. Mr. J. Vaughan, who was at the Royal, was then entreated to go down and appeal to the people, as they would hear him, if any one. He immediately went to a balcony in the midst of the mob, and addressed them. He appealed to them not to disgrace their cause by acts of violence. They all were Indignant at the cowardly treatment he had received at Hereford, where the protectionists would not let him speak ; but it was ten times more cowardly to take advantage of their strength and numbers to destroy property and commit unmanly and lawless outrages. The greater portion of the crowd then cheered vocilerously for Mr. Vaaghaa and free trade, but a few continued to throw sticks and other missiles at the windows. Mr. Vaughan than appealed to the people, if they respected and trusted him, they would follow his advice and abstain from riot, and he called on them to advance in a body and sweep every rioter before them. This appeared to awe the unruly, and no further damage was done. Mr. Wallace Hall and several other popular gentlemen then penetrated into the King's Head, and appearing through the broken windows, appealed to the people to keep the peace. This was responded to with shouts of free trade and other similar cries, but no disposition was evinced again to break the peace. The magistrates however, took the precaution of swearing in several of the respectable tradespeople and others as special constables. The only danger to be apprehended was from another attempt to set the " navvies' on the townspeople. To prevent this, Mr. Vaughan any Mr. Hall accompanied Mr. Killock down the line to ascertain what danger was to be apprehended, and the precaution did not appear altogether unnecessary. All disturbance from that source was, how ever, effectively prevented by the judicious arrangements made by Mr. Killock. The magistrates, Messrs. Bridg man, Vaughan, Bunnesk, and Symonds, made arrange ments for some of them to be at hand in case of disturb ance. At about 10 o'clock, information was brought to Mr. Vaughan that there was a plan arranged to attack all the Blue (i.e., protectionist) homes es soon as the popula tion had retired to rest. llama respectable tradesmen were, in fact, so much alarmed as to remove their wives and daughters from what they considered the scene of danger. Mr. Vaughan having examined evidence and received the report of the superintendent of the police, considered the rumour to be unfounded, and by 11 o'clock the streets had regained nearly their usual quiet and tranquillity. The whole of these lamentable and disgraceful disturb ances may be traced to the introduction of drunken navvies to support an unpopular cause, and the sending for con stables from • distance, who were regarded as strangers and partisans. Some affecting incidents of the intimidation used against the poorer class of voters occurred. Women accompanyi n g their husbands, compelled to vote for Booker, King, and Banbury, were seen crying and wringing their hands, and some of the voters themselves were affected in like manner, but utter ruin stared them in the face if they dared to vote as they wished and bad promised to do. Their hard mu ter, would listen to no statements as to the pledges they had made. I have heard a good deal of landlord coercion, but never witnessed coercion equal to that practised by tenant farmers upon their dependents. PROTESTANT DISSENTERS. —By an act of the late session, it is enacted that places of religions worship for pro testant dissenters need not be certified or registered in a bishop's registry. Such places are to be registered in the General Registration Office for Births, Deaths, and Mar riages A fee of 21. 6d. is to bs taken for such certificate of registration, and a list of suc► places to be open for inspec tion without any fee. HER MAJESTY ' S t.RUTEE.—Hor Majesty, the Prince Consort and the royal family, arc expected to em bark this day (Monday) at Osborne. on a cruise for a few days at sea, on board the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus Finclarence, O.C.H. The Odin was put in commission, pro tem., at Portsmouth, on Friday afternoon, by Captain Henderson, of the Blenheim, for the purpose of forming one of the steam escort. The Sampson also took her powder and shell on board, to be ready for the same service. The royal squadron, in addition to the Vic toria and Albert, and the royal yacht tender Fairy, will comprise the following: Odin, 16, Captain Henderson, CIL, 660 horsepower; Sampson, 6, Captain L. T.

Ten o'clock was the hour meeting the proceedings, and long before it arra r d c the usually quirt town was slice with excitement. The h uetinpp were erected in front of the new county ball, which recedes a little from the 106111 street, instead ut, as fircmerls , tai the ancient locality of the Butts. An inn on the full view of the hustings, forms th e b ea d quarters of th d - liberal candidate., and it was covered with placards ue other indications of its temporary uses. O n the lop of! projecting window was a man bearing agigantic lst, which he balanced at intervals on his head as the symbol of free. trade, end by his aide wee a boy, with a very diminutive loaf between his fingers, and wearing on hi. hotly a pl "9 with the words, " Blandford, Sharlene a n d Want." 'rho windows of all th e houses opposite . 4 .4 --- jacent to the hustings were crowded with occupants, eom. lrising a Urge admixture of the f a i r sex. Branches aurel, bands bands of mimic, and partisan colours, were not wail. tag. To preserve order, which many considered to he in danger, a body of police 600 strong leavened the crowd, and, as will be seen below, showed that they were not wile ling to be merely spectators. Their activiiy was, inde e d exerted in a rather questionable manner wh en they fureililj ejected the more clamorous part of the crowd merely because they were elainerous. The unlimited exercise of the lungs has always been consider d a septennial privilege; and if the police are to be allowel to maul men manly foe shouting, the consequences may be ineenveuieut in tu rn Is all parties. Sheriffs Swift auu Cutterell assayed at about ten o'clock. Lord Robert Grosvenor arrived soon aPer Lg an open carriage and four, and was accompanied by pmt Enfield, Mr. Hobert Ilunbury, the lion Orme , Sir Walter Stirling, and MY Samuel W 17- bread. Then cattle the Marquis of Blendlord, with some friends also, in an open carriage anal preceded by a number o f equestrian, four , brass band which announced him as the "con q uering hero." Mr. B.

Mr. !fume, M.l'., and Mr. Oliveira, 11.1 , arrived together, and both ascended th e h ust i ngs. The colours of the liberal candidates were purp'e, greet., sad yellow ; those of the marquis pink and blue. The crowd was very great, but m as thinned at intervals by the taus before adverted t namely, the expulsion of individuals by the anti shouting The usual preliminaries having been obaerved, Sheriff Correnett requested a fair hearieg for all the speakers. Lord EN/qt.:LH proposed Lord Robert Grosvenor at a ea and proper representative for the c oun ty o f Mi ddlesex. (Cheers Mr. 'tonna Iliteractie briefly seconded the nomination. Mr. .1. Hence, M.P., amidst mods noise and rindution, begged to propose his hon. friend, Mr. Bernal °shortie. (Cneero, mingled with cries of " No popery.") Sir E. COLEMLOOKE, M.l'. ' seconded the nomination. Mr. l'ow:vett., on coming forward to propose the Mar quis of lilandford, was assailed with uproarious 11(06(11, which were at length diminished by appeals to the crowd from one of the sheriffs and from Mr. Hume. He confidently appealed to the electors to return the recce marquis and Lord Robert Grosvenor, in order that the county might be better represented than it had been. Mr. Dit BUR(111. in seconding the nomitatiou, said it wan his firm belief that the noble niarquis would vote for every measure which would tend to promote the prosperity of the country. No other candidate having been proposed, Lord R. GROSVENOR. proceeded to address the assem bly amidst general applause. Ile said he was very m ac h pained at the refusal to listen attentively to the proposer and seconder of the Marquis of iflandford—(hear, hear)— and he most say that if their (the !there)) cause could only be supported by clamour and noise the soon, r they gave at up the better. Ile had represented that county for six' years,. read be hued they were not then disposed to withdraw their cenfidenee. The noble lord then stated his views, and defended the course he had taken with replied to several leading questions lie said he had voted for 'the additional endowno nt of Maynooth out of the surplus revenues of the Irish church, instead of the Consolidated Fund, not because he was not a warm (tend of the established church, but because he conceived that 800,0001. a year was too much for the curs of 800,000 souls, especially as that sum was mainly contri buted out of Roman catholic pockets. He did not think that after the new parliament was assembled they would ever hear another word about Mnynooth. (Hear, hen.) He voted in favour of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, as being the mildest form of protest against the proceedinr of the Pope. lie then commented on the inconsistencies of the government with regard to the question of free trade. The countryhad a right to ask them on what question they appealed to the country. One time it was modification, anothertime relaxation, another time revision of taxation, but on all oc casions mystification. (Great laughter.) At the present moment no one had the slightest conception what comae the government meant to pursue. In the boroughs th, y preached free trade, and in the counties they advocated protection. lie could assure them that he bad not the slightest misgiving as to the result of this election. During the six years that he had been their representative ho had conducted himself fairly to all men without sacrificing an iota of his opinions; and now thot he came to this election he did not find any man actuated by an ill-feeling towards him. (Cheers.) His politics were the result of 30 years of public life, the result of much deliberation and much experience. He had adopted them from conviction, and he did riot believo they would ever change. (Loud cheers, amid which the noble lord withdrew.) Mr. B. OSBORNE, on coming forward to speak, wu received with the rudest kinds of interruptions from gentle men on the hustings belonging to the party of the Marquis of Blandford, responded to by the moat uproarious noises from a number of labouring men opposite to them. l'artial silence was at length obtained by an appeal from the sheriffs ' to the parties on the busting., and by the fareible ejection of their clamorous friends in the crowd by the police. There was, however, much noisy interruption, especially from the hustings, during the whole of the candidate. speech. Atter a fey introductory remarks, and observing that he was ready to answer any questiou put to him, Mr. Osborne said, this contest is conducted under the cant of a mock semi politico-religious cry, whilst those who utter this cry are looking back, with "a longing, lingering glue," to the re cant of protectionist principles. These are the grounds on which this contest is conducted ; and if I have not your verdict in my favour this day, I shall be indeed surprised, in spite of the unmanly opposition, in spite of the ungen tlemanly conduct, which has been manifested on the hus tings. Electors and non-electors of Middlesex, this day there is to appear before you my noble opponent, who I hope on this occasion will not shrink from giving us eidetic:plana tion of his principles, something beyond the electioneering squib—for I cannot call it an address—which be has given to the public. (Uproar.) My noble opponent has hitherto sb irked and avoided public meetings ; and he has givcu no declara tion of his principles—(cries of "No, no ")—further thin by saying that be concurs in the sentiments of a small sec tion of the Middlesex magistrates. lie comes before you giving no explanation of his sentiments on reform or on free trade, but simply wishing to be carried into parliament on the whirlwind of a "no popery " cry. I maks this the occasion of no personal reproach to my noble op ponent. Easy has been his lot. It has been his lot in life to sit for the quiet and patrimonial village of Wood stock, where opinions were never asked, and addrestes never issued. (Hear, hear.) Those electors in the nice snug borough of Woodstock are in the habit of returning any one whom the duke is pleased to select; and if it should please you to return my noble opponent to parliament, no man will feel more obliged to you than the Duke of Marl borough, who already owes so much to you and the county)—!laughter)—no man will feel more gratified at your choice than he, because be will be able immediately to select some other noble member of his numerous and in teresting family to sit for the borough of Woodstock. (Cheer..) The noble marquis hu made no declaration. lie was not brought up in that line. He had been brought here by the Middlesex bench of justices, but the broad glare of public opinion has never shone upon his mind or elevated his sentiments. (Cheers and groans.) The noble marquis is brought forward as a man of sound constitutional views and of high personal character. (" Oh, oh," and cheers.) My business is not with his personal character, but with his constitutional views; and even if I had to deal with his personal character 1 believe I might safely state that my own is quite as good. (Yelling and confusion.) Gentle ' men, it is true that I am not a marquis. (Bear.) It is true that I have not been quartered upon the Poot.office revenue. (Cheers.) It is true that my family never received millions of the public money. (Groans.) But is this any reason why I should not be listened to by you, who formerly sent me to parliament ? (Cheers.) It is a reaso n why, at least, I should be treated with respect, if not b y the non. elector,, at least by those who pretend to be their superiors. (Applause, and cries of " Hit thous hard.") i opponent s brought forward on account of whet is calle d his high protestantism and his sincere advocacy of t he church. I have nothing to say to that, hut I wish merely to make this remark—(renewed uproar from the supporters of the Marquis of Blandford)—and I beg to invite the mob atten of. tion of the gentlemen from Isleworth (alluding too rough-looking fellows who had made their appearance wi de the preceediugs were going on), those friends of the maps testes who, if they were brought up before them fur taki ng a hare, would give them three months. (Great laughter.) A man may cry " Church, church," but the thew is not reckoned a religious bird, although he keeps " ea! cawing" from the top of the steeple. (Laughter.) Bu t , forsooth, the noble marquis was brought forward by a sece tion of the magistrates, headed by their chairman, a gent e. man so justly popular with all classes— (cheers) —that lie hu been twice rejected from these hustings as a candidate, and they have discovered that the noble marquis is anot her protest rat St. George—the tutelary saint of the liberties and constitution of the country. (Cheers.) The noble lohl stands (hewer(' as a protestant champion—(cheers from the _ic fowl party)—and you are told in one of those scurrilous pla • cards which only emanate, thank God, from the me of a gr neral election, that I am favourable to the l'apal aggr t ir e i, while be is the peculiar friend of the protestant insti tohtt of the country.

PARIS, SA/CRDAT ETRNII/0. The President's journey to Strasbourg has opened with a violent thunderstorm, for which the broiled Parisians are all gratitude, although the brilliancy of the staid was somewhat impaired by the heavy showers. Punctual to the pre-appointed minute, the Prince set out this morning from the Elyste, so as to reach the Strasbourg terminus at 9. Long flags of green, sprinkled with gold stars, Boated from masts planted iu front of this handsome structure; and a considerable crowd were assembled notwithstanding the scowling weather, to wit ness the President's departure. The great hall of the terminus was richly decorated with flags and scutcheous. bearing the cypher of " 1.. N." At the head of the room was set a marble bust of the Presi dent, surrounded by branches and flowers. At the opposite end a great gilded Fie spread his wings. The gallery above the prinei entrance was occu pied by a military band, whi welcomed the arrival of the eorktge with lively strains. The President was received at the terminus by all the ministers except ing M. Casablanca, who has been despatched upon a mission in tho neighbourhood of Strasbourg, the object of which is explained in another part of this letter. Besides the eight members of the cabinet, M. Baroche, Vice-President of the Council of State, M. Berger, prefect of the Seine, and M. Pietri, pre fect of police, and other functionaries of less note, were all marshalled in their official costumes to make their bow to the President when he alighted from his carriage, and to see him off. There is a great passion just at presetit for the musical compositions of the Queen Hortense, and the most popular of these, " Partant pour la Syrie," immortalised by barrel-organs, was struck up by the band. Louis Napoleon meantime talked with some of the ministers, and particularly with M. Persigny, Minister of the Interior, who is left, with M. de Maupas, to take care of Paris while the Prince is absent. The President then got into the "wagon d'honneur ' " and was followed by St. Arnaud, Turgot and Lefebvre-Durufle. The signal was given and ofi moved the train, gradually accellerating its speed up to 27 miles an hour. Nancy, the first destination, being about three-quarters of the whole distance, would be reached at about six this evening. I Your special correspondent will, no doubt, explain in due time what occurs of interest at that stage of the journey. In the meantime I may draw your attention to a decree appointing a military commis sion to effect a reform in the studies of the military college at Metz, comformable to the change already made in the te aching of the Ecole Poly technique. The appearance of the decree at this moment no doubt has reference to the Prince's journey, and is perhaps a step towards conciliating the favour of the French Woolwich, which has hitherto shown any thing but affection to the nephew of the Emperor. A batch of the employjs of the ministry of public works, who have been hard at work mkking the preparations for the present voyage, will start by a special train to-night, and remain at the order of M. Lefebvre-Hurdle. A telegraphic despatch has been received at Paris announcing the safe arrival of the President at Cha lons-cur-Maime at one in the afternoon. After a halt of three-quarters of an hour the train continued its direction towards Nancy. As I have no means of ascertaining from any disinterested and impartial source the tone of the President's reception at Cha lons, I refrain from reproducing the enthusiastic vivats announced in the telegraphic despatch. A series of similar despatches have been received from several points of the President's journey, and I now learn that the latest announces the Prince's safe arrival at Nancy. PARIS, SUNDAY EVIININO.

By far the most remarkable of these documents ia the despatch of the prelbst of the Meurthe, an nouncing the arrival et Lee/a Napoleon at Nancy. In this notable composities the President is men tioned under the novel style of " His Highness." It is as follows : The Prefect of the department of the Hearth* to the Minirters of the Interior and Geseral His highness arrived at Nancy at 740 p.m. He was re ceived amid the most enthusiastic applause of the population with cries a thousand times repeated of Vice Napoleon! " His march through the streets of the town has been a tri umph. Ilis highness is at this moment (halt-past 8) receiv ing the authorities. The Place of the Prefecture is crowded with an immense number of eitlnens. The telegraphic despatches of the prefects, 'pounc ing the President's progress to Strasbourg, are weari some in their monotony. The word "enthusiasm" is mode to do duty in nearly every one of them. The prefect of the Seine and .Marne, speaking from Meaux, describes the enthusiasm of the population as at its height; at Fette the reception yields in nothing to that of Meaux; at Chateau Thierry tho President is received amidst the unanimous acclamations of the population. The prefect of the Marne announces the SPAIN. MADRID, JULY 13. The Gaulle contains a royal decree declaring the following places in the Canary Islands to be free ports: Santa Cruz, Tenerife, Oretava, Cnidad Real, Las Palmas, Santa Cruz de la Palma, Arrecife de Lauzarote, Puerto de Cabras, and Saint Sebastian. M. Daniel Weisweilcr, the representative of the house of Rothschild, has passed some days at La °ra', where he has had several conferences with the Minister of Finance.

Gottingen has been very liberal The federal army is to be raised from one to two per cent. of the population in Germany, whereby it will be made to amount to nearly 800,000 men. This is, however, merely nominal; because the federal states only keep a small portion of their contingent on a war footing, and really at the dis posal of the Diet. The determination of the nominal federal force is made chiefly as a standard for respective contributions in money for the Diet's ex penses. The new constitution, which M. Hassenpflug has octroyed in Hesse, is not capable of burking all oppo sition. Upwards of a third of the members of the First Chamber refuse to appear, whereby the forma tion of a house is frustrated. The minister is sending courriers after several who have gone to the baths, and hopes to induce them, by expostulation or menace, to taco their scats ; at the same time nine teen members of the Second Chamber have refused to take the oaths; they have presented • protest to the effect that they cannot swear to a constitution which has not yet been revised and cofirmed by the legal authorities. In consequence of this, the Second Chamber, too, cannot be opened, from want of the requisite number of members. ZOLLVEREIN. BERLIN, JULY 16. At the last sitting of the 7 , ollverein's conference a discussion arose on the stipulation of the treaty of 7th September, whereby the duty on molasses is re duced to 65., raw sugar paying hss. per cwt. It was I objected that, if the molasses duty were so dispro portionately low, the revenue would bo defrauded by the importation of syrup, or liquified sugar capable of crystallisation, entered as molasses. The Hano verian and Prussian commissioners, however, replied that this might easily be detected.

JAMAICA. - - The following are extracts from the local journals : The small-pox still continues among us in this city, in St. James, Manchester, and 004 or two other places. The type remains, we are happy to say, comparatively mild ; and in extent is greatly limited, in comparison with what might have been expected. The measles are prevailing at Falmouth. is said, has been discovered in Jamaica; but although we have given insertion to two or three para graphs on the subject, we have not been able to obtain pu de' or satisfactory information of the fut. The weather remains fair, and generally masking, by no means so sultry u It often is at this period of the year. Occasionally showers yet more cool the air end lay the dust, ase does even while we write. With the exception of the presence of the small-pox, the general health is good. De Cordova'. Mercantile Intellsgencer, contains the following remarks on the commercial condition of the island : The business done in imports since our last has been almost solely restricted to operations in breadstuffs—the continued scarcity of native vegetables having created a very good inquiry for the former. Prices, however, have not been as well supported as would have been the case had receipts been on a less liberal scale. This remark applies more especially to dour and meal ; of rice there had been little imported previous to yesterday, when a rather considerable cp.:antity of Bengal was re ceived. With regard to dry and pickled fish, the market is just now greatly depressed and overstocked. There are at present four entire cargoes in importers' hands, with portions of previous receipts; whilst the pre- valence of small pox in the city, and the fact that the peasactry, nom the scarcity of ground provisions, are obliged to purchase imported bread stuffs to the partial exclusion of fish, affords but little probability that this description of food will enter largely into consumption for some time to come. The produce market as regards sugar is unsteady and depressed. Prime have fallen rather considerably under our last quotations. The decline is attributed to tho large supply at market and the cessation of the export demand. Rum has been rather better sup port. d. Coffee and _pimento are both very *cam and hardly procurable. The pr ov i nc i a l papers are silent on the subject or the weather, but we believe we may state that the rains are not so general nor continuous as they were when we went last to profs.
