Ob. :11a. Afternows, 61. LONDON, WEDNESDAY. JULY 7. TIM first election result known yesterday in Lon de* was the return of two Liberals for Marylebone. This was a good omen; and before many hours had elapsed it bad been strengthened by similar decisions In =say other places. In London the nomination over with the usual amount of enormous uproar, ret ch the "long shore men" and the citizens of Aldgste and Houndsditch strove who should be most vociferous. But violent u the turmoil is on such occasions—and open as such demonstrations may be to the suspicion that many of the actors in them may have other interests in the day's proceedings than those arising out of patriotic iervour for the public good—we would not seek to abate one portion of these somewhat wild exhibitions of popular will. Such scenes seem to some extent inherent In the ope rations of democracy, and we may well excuse a portion of rudeness in consideration of the good arunng from a t igor , us manifestation of popular views and feelings. Four reformers will, it is said, go to the poll in the City, and the course of the Libe rals seems clear. The wisdom of this contest we were the first to question, and the heartiest to oppose; but since the great risk it involves has been run, the Liberals must make the best use they can of the new position they are placed in. They should especially mind how they split their votes. At present, Sir Loa es Dear. seems to be at the bottom of the scale of City favour ; but it may be said of him, when contrasted with Mr. AI IsTERMAN, that the latter is only a free trader when free trade no longer wants his help—and a Tory at other times—whilst Sir JAMES Dear., at all events, has always belonged to the Liberal party, and has voted on the I.iberal side. If we can get four Liberals for the Cite, let us have them—but if one mud go to the wall, let the voters take care it is the worst of the four. In Mars leboneyesterday's proceedings were merely formal. The members who represented this large constituency in the last parliament did their duty so well that no Tory had the courage to oppose them. To venture upon a contest in that portion of London would hate been to court sure defeat, and Lord DUDLEY STCART and Sir BENJAMIN HALL were accordingly chosen members of the new parliament without challenge at the hustings. This was the only metropolitan election yistertlay, for in all the other electoral districts of London we are to have con tests. The l'ity we have already referred to as offering a struggle with a Tory opposing four Liberals. The only other places where the DERBY party have ven tured to hoist a flag are Westminster and Green wich. In both cases this courage has been screwed up under the encouragement of quarrels amongst Liberals. In Westminster, Mr. CONINGIIAM—II man in himself—hie yet Lard _ played a Tory i t card by bringing out Lard .d- MAIDSTONE —whilst in the other instance, at Greenwich, radical differences and the temptation of Dockyard power, has put Mr. HOLT before the electors as a can didate. At Greenwich yesterday, the scene at the hustings was noisy, even beyond the riotousness of Guildhall. The Tories had, of course, made prepa rations for the nomination day; but such was the zeal of their opponents that although Mr. HOLT had a sufficient number of adherents round the hustings to satisfy the returning officer that he and Mr. CHAM BERS enjoyed the show of hands, yet his opponents were so many, and sodetermined, that scarcely one word of his speech could be heard, even by the reporters who were on the hustings near him. At Lambeth the furor was as great even as at Greenwich. To-day the Westminster and Finsbury nominations take place. At the latter Liberals alone are in the field, for. like Marylebone, the borough of Finsbury shows such cold countenance to Tory hopes, that even Radical squabbles have not yet tempted the enemy to step into the fray. Finsbury, therefore, —beyond' putting Mr. Duscomse at the head of the poll,—seems at present to foreshadow no personal re sult; nor can the termination of the strife be very startling wheber the choice falls on Mr. WTLD or Alderman (ITALIA& The latter is said to have the best chance of success. In Westminster the state of affairs is very different, for be a false step on the part of the Free Traders, the Tory, Lord MAIDSTONE, may obtain a seat for this great end important constituency. Mr. Cox nvoltax will clearly be to blame, should any such consequence ensue. The electors of Westminster might have been glad of an offer of Mr. CONING MAWS services at an earlier period, when the disso lution was yet impending, and a candidate was the one thing wanted ; bat when the field had been taken by two reformers, to cast discord into the camp was, we repeat, to play the game of the enemy. In the Tower Hamlets the show of hands was de cidedly in favour of Mr. NEWTON, of the Amalga mated Engineers; a sufficient sign of the times in the Tower Hamlets—or, at least, of that portion of its inhabitants who attend before hustings—and the more so when it is explained that Mr. Newroiv went the whale length of Louts BLANC, by declaring the ]sßssirtsee bound to find employment for the people ! nom ass five candidates-ill Liberals of different draw for here again the Tories dare not venture— Ned d all ot them Sir WILLIAM CLAY and Mr. Bet z bed Most hands held up for them. The anti- Kaynosth sudidates were loudly greeted—so loudly Indeed that what they said could not be heard. Sir WILLIAM CLAY'S remarks were chiefly addressed to this part of his antagonists' position, and he made a telling point against them by showing that if May moth must be upset whilst the Irish Church and other grants are allowed, and if anti-Maynooth were extorted, Mr. COBDEN would lose the sit Hiding, Lord Jonas RoaseLt. be rejected by_the City Mr. BRIMIT and Mr. GIBSON be beaten at Man 'hosier, and, in fact, the House of Oxman would be deprived of the men hitherto mast distinguished for their effectual advocacy of practical reforms. Doling the session we customarily give a summary of the proceedings in parliament—to-day, sines we have no parliament, we give a summary of the pro ceedings which are to provide us with our new legislative chamber. The total elections yester day give a return of far more Liberals this Derbyites, and that this favourable state d affairs may be continued and increased it b Ikformers should forget all small and la- P e ure cesi l l e7ngs, and—remembering that they hold their trust not simply for themselves but for their unea franchised brethren—should go to the poll over all the kingdom strenuously determined to support those, and those only, who are pledged to aid in the pod work of political progress, and to secure for the whole country such ameliorations of our laws and usages es shall prevent convulse' o,—give free scope to in dastry,—and promote the further development of those national characteristics which have rendered England peat, prosperous, and free.

It has been suggested that they may be peoubly call upon to propose reforms It the constitution touching the conferences of the committees of the Chamber of Deputies and the Council of State, foe the more expeditous despatch of business. But, as usual, the oracular ambiguity of the Prince-President's expression loaves a wide swipe for both hopes and fears, and peoples the future with additiodal anxieties and uncertain In tho meantime, the Prince is withdrawn to his summer palace, with the leisures of which this pen has nought to do, and with the labours of which one is only aetiasiiMi rare and uncertain rumour. I have spoken of a draft of amnesty, of which a glimpse ties been obtained in the cabiuct of M. Abbattueei. Bet there is at Bedarieux a nearer and more urgent call for mercy ; and the public earnestly await the first exercise of the drat de grace attributed to the execu tive power by the new constitution to reverse the bloody sentence of the Montpellier court-martial, and save France from the barbarous anachronis,n of a memsecre by the guillotine. You aro aware that the sentences of courts-martial are not final, but are liable to revision by superior courts. lf, as is generally the case, the tribunal of appeal, which is still military, should confirm the first sentence, there still remains the chanceof commutation or pardon by the President. In the present instance, all the condemned prisoners have appealed to the Court of Revision. Some time will, therefore, elapse before the doom of these tor fortunate men will be decided. General indignation has been excited by a savage article of the Petrie, invoking the worst passions of society against men who labour under sentence of death. The Sleek, to its honour, although alone in the whole Parisian press, has given a public expres sion to the sentiment of disgust inspired by the dis graceful inhumanity of the chief organ of the go-1 -eminent. It is stated that the President is going shortly to I hey a visit to the estate of Lanotte-lieuvron, which has recently purchased in the Sologne, and where he is about to institute all sorts of agricultural experiments. On the Ist of August a decree is to come out sweeping away all the prefects tainted with °Aeon ism. That are to be replaced by thoroughgoing ad herents of the government. The new prefects are to be young men, all under 40, and of the party known by the name of the riyoureux. A commission of inquiry has been appointed by the government professedly to examine the question of the utility of salt as applied to agricultural pur M. Demesmay, however, who has occupied posy himself specially with the salt question, suspects that the government is going to restore the old salt-tax, as it existed before February. This would increase the tax from 10 franca the 100 kilogames to 30 fr. The committee is thought to have been appointed with this object. No doubt a great outcry would be raised against such a measure. Still it seems that everybody is of opinion that the yearly accumu lation of deficits and the enormous charge of the floating debt must be met by increased taxation, and certainly a modification of the salt tax, however un popular, would be about the most efficient financial remedy that could be adopted. By the application of an excise duty to the salt consumed in the soda manufactories the budget of receipts for 18.53 has been already increased by six millions of francs. The government is preparing atpresent a project of law on the councils ofprudlionarnes. According to this bill the masters, foremen, and workmen are to be electors at 25, and eligible, at 30. Reading and and writing are the only other conditions of eligi bility. The presidents are to he appointed by the government, which can always dissolve the Councils. The members are to be not more than 16, nor less than 10. The contending parties cannot be assisted by defenders. The councils are to endeavour, on the first news of a strike, to mediate between the masters and men. The perseverance of the Council of Vaud in apply ing to M. Thies tho federal decree on refugees, is the more disgraceful and absurd, as the distance to which refugees are, according . to that law, to be re moved from the frontier is eight leagues, whereas Vevay, the place of M. Thiers's residence, is fifteen leliufrom the French territory. . e Lbatier, first secretary of the French embassy at Constantinople, has been appointed consul - general and charge d'affahos of France at Alexandria, in the room of M. Lemoyne, called to other functions ; and M. Benedetti, ex-consul-general, has been appointed M. Babatier's successor as secretary of embassy at Constantinople._ _ _ _ Notwithstanding the tremendous heat there is no relaxation of commercial business. There was a fresh rise of 40 centimes in the Four-and-a-Half per Cents., which closed at 103.20, just the mark which was rached by the Five per Cents. at the moment of the conversion. ITALY. PIEDMONT. The Raiorginsento announces that the Chamber of Deputies adc . ,7 the lit, the eight first articles of the Civil ' Bill. The same j ournal remarks: I ____ Whilst ether countries are erecting ketificafions, at Turin the citedal is being disarmed. The cannon, which for many years lined its ramparts, and were mostly pointed agamst Om city, are to be removed and transferred to Casale. This is certainly a signal proof of the mutual confidence misting between the Kim and the population of Turin. The government is even anxious to demolish the ramparts of the citadel, and to convert the building into a barrack. TUSCANY. The Tuscan Monitore has published a grand ducal decree, authorising for Tuscany the constitution of the Company which has been formed for the con struction of the railroad of Central Italy, and which is to connect Piacenza, Parma, Reggio, Modena, and Bologna with Prato and Pistols, with a branch from Reggio to Mantua. On the 25th ult. the court-martial of Udine con demned four persona to various periods of imprison ment in irons, varying from one to ten months rz spectively, for having arms or ammunitionin their poessedon, or uttering seditious cries. AUSTRIAN ITALY. Numerous arres --- trimive;gaii;ieenmads at Milan. One of the unhappy victims thrown into the cud* dungeon has hung himself from the bars of his prison. The government of Lombardy has issued new and more stringent restrictions upon the circulation of books in the province. NAVAL ADMINALTY, JULY ii.LAPPOINTWERTI taat•Barpoar W. Jolter sad J.

Vine Hall, arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday morning, at about half-past eight o'clock, from the Cape of Good Hope. the news by this arrival adds very little to our information relative to the Katlir War. The outward dates of the Bosphorus are—Ply mouth, April 13; St. Vincent, arrived April 27, left on the 29th; arrived at Sierra Leone May 3rd, lett May 4th ; arrived in Table Bay Muy 24. Her home ward dates ate—Cape of Good Hope, May 29; Sierra Leone, Juno 13, sailed following day; arrived at St.l Vincent June 19th, left on the 21st ; arrived at Ply mouth on the 6th, Her cargo consists of wool, rhinoceros horns, ivory, and beeswax ; and the following passengers: — From the Cape : Major and Mrs. Coddrington and three children, Mr. and Mrs. Tudor, Mr. and Mrs. Luffert and servant, Mrs. Robinson, Major Guthrie, Capt. Mosley, 60th Rifles, Lieut. Pickwick, 91st ltegt., Messrs. Guthrie, Nourse, Hall. J. do Smidt, Mrs. Corrigan and child. From Sierra Leone: Roe, Lieut. Scott, Messrs. Rosseau, Hair, Hagely, Young. From Bt. Vincent : Mr. Roberts, President of Liberia, and Mrs. Roberts; Mrs. Moore. The royal mail (Australian) arrived at St. Vincent, 12 days from Plymouth, and left St. Vincent on the 19th of June. The Bosphorus spoke ship Romaine, in lat. 19.32 north. The Graham's Town Journal, of May 22, in its monthly news' summary supplies the following items of intelligence: The most important event of the month, in connexion with the Katlic war, is the removal of the military head quarters from King's William's Town to Fort Beaufort, where His Excellency General Cathcart arrived on the Bth inst. By this more the Commander-in-Chief will be in the immediate vicinity of the Water Kloof, Blink Water, Kat River Settlement and other strong mountain fastnesses, that have become notorious from the pertinacity with which they have been held by the rebel Hottentots and Kaffir*, u well as from the severe lose sustained in the several attempts from time to time made to dislodge them, and effectually clear that country of the marauders by whom it has been so long infested. Commissary-General Maclean haxestab lished himself also at Fort Beaufort, thus giving indication that for some time to come at least that locality will con tinue to be the head quarters of the Commander-in-Chief, and as a consequence the nucleus of his future operations. General Yorke takes command of all the forces east of the Fish River—the governor's attention being more especially directed to the satety of the colony, and the entire expulsion from it of the enemy.

DUBLIN, it'LT 6. • - Lord Derby's government delights in exhibiting its strength, and among other occasions for that pur pose has selected one of Mr. Sharman Crawford's canvass meetings in the county of Down, to try the effect of a proclamation. The circumstance is thus mentioned in tho government organ, the Evening Mail: A letter received this morning, dated Newry, Saturday evening, announces that a great tenant right demonstration was arranged to come off that day at Waringstown, at which Mr. Sharman Crawford was to be present. Vast numbers of tenant-right farmers were in attendance ; and just before the proceedings had commenced, it was inti mated to the chairman that iuformations had been sworn before the authorities that a breach of the peace was to be apprehended, and that, therefore, the magistrates had come to the determination to prevent the meeting from being held. Immediately upon this intimation being given, the assemblage quietly dispersed. A large body of mili tary and pollen were present, in one their services should be required. It is as well to add that no real cause of alarm existed, and that Mr. Crawford, who stated to the last that he was prepared to go on with the meeting, is not the man to run any risk of causing a broach of the peace, or endangering the lives of her Majesty's subjects. The course adopted by the Derbyito ma gistrates has given the deepest offence to the friends of tenant-right in the north. Some slight rioting took place at Dunlecr in the county of Louth, yesterday, a meeting of the friends of Mr. Kennedy having been dispersed by a mob in the interest of Mr. Bellew. Some violence appears to have been apprehended by the tory party in Clonmel, and they have accord ingly procured a large military force to bo sent there. . . • - An aggregate meeting of the supporters of Mr. John Reynolds was held in the Rotunda yesterday. A great deal of popular enthusiasm is enlisted on his side, and his success appears all but certain. The strictness of the present law against bribery will completely destroy the stronghold which the tory party have hitherto had in the support of the freemen. CRICKET. ENGLAND v.

Wild occupied the chair, supported by a large number of the friends of the institution. The °ming MA spent titer diluter in a CWITiTig mum LATEST INTELLIGENCE. From a supplement to the Cape Town Mail: Saturday, 14 29, 4 p.m. The frontier post has just arrived, and we are able to give only the few prominent occurrences of interest: GRAHAM'S Town, MAY 2.5.--The Hottentots and Kaf fir, but principally the former, have been again busy in our neighbourhood. Accounts were received on Sunday morning that on Saturday a party of them had murdered two lierds,one a Hottentot and the other a Fineo,at Henley's Flat, , near Mr. Robcy's house of accommodation. Their intention would seem to have been to have driven off the cattle under the can of these herde—but from some cause or other they did not attempt this ; but having shot the two poor fellows, one while sitting under• bush, and the other in endeavour ing to make his escape, they decamped without any booty. At a few miles distance front the above place, and nearer Graham's Town, probably some of the same party id suc ceed in getting away with three spans of oxen ' which they cut nut of some waggons belonging to Mr. Hinny, and which wero coming into town loaded with lireeood. What renders this last case remarkable, as we are informed, is tho fact that there were more waggons in company, and that the whole number of driven. and leaden., all natives, could not amount to fewer than from 16 to 21) men. The theft, it apoeare, was committed by not more than three persons. Not a shot wee fired on either side, so far as we have heard the story. This took place on the road at what is called Howard's party, only a few miles from the town. The party who went down to the Kerte& has returned, reporting that they were not able to fell in with an enemy. General satisfaction is expressed here at the coaviction, and almost certain punishment of Botha. Letters were yesterday morning received from King Wil liam's Town and the immediate frontier. They contained nothing of importance. The Governor has given Krell ono I month in which to pay the fine of 1,600 head of cattle. This fine is considered much too small, as it is generally believed there are at this moment thousands of colonial cattle grazing quietly in his territories. This morning further disastrous intelligence hos been re ceived. It is reported that three houses have been burned, somewhere near Sunday's River. Whether any lives have been lost we have not been able to ascertain. The court-martial on Captain Wernyss has been again adjourned. lle continues still very ill, and it is said his ricivery is doubtful. The various officers assembled in town have been consequently ordered off to their several posts of duty. I have just heard that the governor wilt be in Graham's Town to-morrow morning. Preparations are making to receive him by the public. Ilea MAJESTY'. STEAMER STYX.—lnformation has come round, tea the Buffalo, of the narrow escape of this fine steamer from wreck on the Bird Island,, in Algoa Bay. It appears from tho account before us, that 011 her recent trip to the Buffalo, she left the anchorage at Port Eliza beth about 4 o'clock in the afternoon—the night setting in d..rk, and atmosphere rather hazy. Captain Hall, with his usual watchiulness, was on deck after the close of the day, and about 8 o'clock, from a sudden impulse, abruptly quitted Mr. Gordon, one of his officers, with whom he had been conversing, and sprang upon th^ paddle box, where he found his sailing master, Lieut. Ellis, on the look out. On joining him, the latter remarked he felt curious as to whether those appearances like the Bird Islands, would be again seen—alluding to the effect of mirage which had been witnessed once or twice before in Algot' Bay. Captain Hall at this moment, on looking attentively through the gloom saw an object which he concluded was, not the unsubstantial mirage, but the Western 114 ill Island itself. Quick as thought, the order was given to alter the helm, stop the engine, and stand by the anchor. At this anxious moment a breaker was seen not more than two ship.' length distant. Fortu nately the anchor brought the vessel up, and held her firmly until daylight revealed her exact position. It was found that she was between the west reef and the island— so perilous a situation that the preservation of the ship and crew can only be attributed to the fact of the ship having been brought up at the moment. The cause of getting into this position was discovered to be a current of nearly three knot' an hour, which ran towards the Buffalo instead of from it, as is generally the case. To which must be added, however, the absence of a light-house on the Bird Islands —an omission which is moat discreditable both to the colony and the Dome government. THE STOCKPORT OUTRAGE. The following additional evidence was given before the magistrates, in the Stockport Courthouse, after our parcel was despatched on Monday afternoon, the contents of which we published in our yesterday's impression: Wm. Hewitt, overlooker at a mill at Brinksway Bank, sworn—At a quarter or 20 minutes past 8 last Tuesday night, I was coming put the Edgeley railway station, and saw a lot of boTs with sticks in the Wellington-road. going towards the National School. There were 60 to 100. 1 went dawn Wellington -street into Lord-street, and, on looking up Lord-street, 1 saw a great multitude of boys. That was at the back of the National School. From Lord street I saw a number of Irishmen and boys in St. Peter's square. There were some hundreds. I saw one young man go from Mr. White's factory lodge door towards the first window of Mr. Graham's house, and break the warehouse windows of Mr. White, and then some of the nest windows, belonging to Mr. Graham—if thine ass Mr. Graham's win- dews. A shower of stones were thrown at me, and I ran into St. Peter's-gate. They were Irish, and they followed me some distance. They returned, and I followed them to the corner of Mr. Woolley 's house, where they attacked Mr. Graham's servant man. A body of Englishmen came down Lord-street to the montane, of Graham's man. One of them seized the Irishman and took him into custody, and another Englishman who came up took a rocond Irish man into custody, and I took a boy into custody. They then commenced breaking Irishmen's windows. There was a little boy knocked down and senseless, and I carried him to a surgeon's. Witness described several charges by English and Irish, in which each sou alternately master. By Mr. Charles Gibson—The boys whom he first spoke of, near the National School, were English. The Court then adjourned till the following morning. Yesterday the examination of witnesses was resumed, and had not concluded at the period when oar parcel was de- HEALTH OF LONDON DURING! THE WEEK.

ELECTIONS. TOWER HAMLETS.—THE NOMINATION. The nomination for this borough took place yes. terdsy morning on Stepney-green. Lung before 12 o'clock „the hour filed for commencing, an enormous crowd surrounded the hustings, and, in spite of the scorching nun, a dense rum, assembled in front. There Was a great paucity of Ilage a n d even of ribbons, but withal no lack of partisanship or lung. to give spirit to the occasion. The several candidate., they successively arrived, were mot with vocif,roin de. At a little after 12 tho writ was read in the ordinary course. Mr. CHILD, the returning officer, then reminded the assembly of the important duty which it had to iliseharge and requested a fair hearing for the 'peahen, elm rving, is conclusion, that Mr. Thompson would he prono.,•d hrst no account of his having stood at the hind of the poll at the last general election.

Who proposed the set of par liament? They did. Who paused it? They did. (Hear, hear.) He could vile against it without any hesitation, le • cause he had had nothing to do with the matter, and he would do so because he grulged every penny of the public money that was applied to religious or ecclesiastical purposes. (Cheers.) As regarded one of the other candidates, he could not kelp mentioning that at the period of the last election that gentleman wrote a letter in which he "de precated the return of Mr. George Thompson us a c:.lamity to the church." Ile was quoting Mr. Salisbury Butler's own words. He bad the letter, and could pro Mee it Mr. Thompson concluded with a declaration that he was M favour not of religious toleration—that lie could not recap nix—but of religions equality. (Cheers.) SirlW. CLAY then attempted to speak, but for several minutes not a ayllualr could be heard amidst the deter mined interruption which he met with. lie then removal to a part of the platform which was within three or four yards of the reporters' box, and there ultimately succeeded in making himself tolerably intelligible, in spee of continued' attempts to prevent him from being heard. He said the first subject to which he would refer was Maynouth. lie mentioned that subject first, be cause he bad seen a placard in which his name was mentioned in connexion with it. Let them look that question in the face like men of sense, like just men and Christians. The Msyuooth endowment was not an annual grant, but a charge of 26,0001. a year on the Consolidated Fund. The act passed in the year Ist) was a confirmation of many prior acts. These acts coot tined s solemn compact between the crown, parliament, .:red the Roman catholic people of Ireland; and the obligati in thus incurred could not be broken without cause being sheen, the only sufficient cause being a violation of mead faith. It was said that there was that cause. (lieu, hear) Charges had been made against the Roman catholics to the effect that they had shown themselves inimical to the crown and government of this country. As thee charges were believed by large portions of the English people, it was desirable that they should be either verified or disproved. i Therefore he was n favour of a committee of inquiry being appointed by the representatives of the people of Eagland. He would have voted for such an inquiry in the last paha . latent. and if returned he would vote for it in the neat. (Cheers.) If the charges were proved he would Pan in abrogating the grant. It they were dieprored, there was only one other ground on which it could be justly abrogated, namely, that it was a violation of the rights of conscience to support or assist any religious system out of the public taxes. That was a sound objection, and, in theory, at least, unanswerable. No religious endowment by the government of a protestant country could logically be defended, for it was contrary to that right of private judgment which was the corner stone of the protestant faith. Such endowments could only Ir defended on grounds of general policy—for example, as tending to promote kindly feelings between those who, agreeing on many other topics, differed with respect to religion. It they failed to du that, they failed in their object; and, instead of being a bond of peace, were a source of religious animosity and of exal discord. (Hear, hear.) But if on that ground he were called upon to vote for the abrogation of the grant to Mas• nooth, ho must reply that in that case there should be ac inquiry with regard to the public money granted to pre. Unmet. in the north of Ireland, and all similar application• of the public revenue. Let them change the system it they pleased; but let them not commence with an attack on one clam, and that the poorest, the humblest, and the weakest clam of the community. (Cheers.) Those ea , not his sentiments alone ; be had the satisfaction of knee • ins that they were the sentiments of almost every emiwnt may, without exception, in the House of Commas. of every shade of opinion, Whig or Tory, Peelite or Radical. 'Huy had all refused to vote for abrogating the grant to May without inquiry. it was amusing to think what would be the result if views like those which were held by the authors of the placard which he had mentioned were generally successful. The result would be to turn en : Lord John Russell for the City, and Mr. Disraeli ler Bide ingbamshire—(laughter)—Sir J. Graham fur Carlisle, Mr Cardwell for Liverpool, and Mr. Gladstone for Oxford ; W.

Mr. Spooner and Mr. Newdegatc, and a very few orange-coloured gentlemea. from Ireland. (Laughter.) Let them imagine suet, a par liament. Why, a crew without their pilot; an aims with out its commanding officer ; a troop of actors with * all the stars left oat, their parts being performed by walking Ma , tlemeu and scene-shifters ; a plum-r without the anlle!:ll.4t. pudding plums—conveyed but a feeble notion of such a par,rcorat. But he had a graver charge to make against the authors of this pamphlet. He found thews words—' In the short reign of Mary, the papists burnt to death 277 geese,-1 whom 66 were woman and 4 children." It was ss:th for row and humiliation that he found that this paurphict cos tume from the East London Protestant Protection "acid'; a society, he believed, containing in it clergymen silo) •"' members of that church to which he belonged. Da those gentlemen think that they were showing - zeal acconlaut to knowledge ?" Did they think that they were obeying the precepts and fulfilling the example of their diva Master ? Did they think it wise to seek to rouse the pas lions of tho people, by referring to the mats of the dark ages? Did they think it wiv to cut about firebrands, and to pantie I course which might result in making our Mee , . rot with blood ? Did they wish to see the scene+ at Stockport rain over again in London ? (Hear, hear.)
