Mr. Cardwell, on his re-election for the City of Weed, said—Freemen and electors of the city of Oxford, I new only rowans far me to repeat the grateful teak Witida, you so often impute upon me, of return * gay ;mincers thanks for this renewed mark of yew eionidence and kindness. The principles I explained Wpm in the summer are the principles which actuate 111 new. (Chews.) 1 entertain the ewes opinions, and fed them, if possible, with increasing strength. I shall • rayour by every means in my power to give effect to tlt~s fn the cube for which I have had the hemmer to be nesommended by Yr. Gladstone to the gracious approval of the sovereign. (Omen.) As yet the time has been Ghent, and ft has been impossible for me to have examined minutely the details of queetioes of expenditure; but 1 think it may be istisfactory to you if I say that even now I venture to anticipate theta thentinsatesof the ensu ing year you will find evidences of • substantial valuation of the expenditure. (Cheers.) But it most be evident to every one who has thought upon the subject that the object of retrenchment is cot confined to a single year, and that it would nut le true economy which should lighten the burdens' of the present year at the expense of mcreasiag the burdens of fhture years. (Hear.) The object must be to lay down prtheiples whisk sha ll endure for all time, and which will be eductive in future years as well as in theinunediate year with which we deal. (Hier, hear.) Teat queetkne of the highest national ire underlie the whole subject a military expea dere. They aro subjects of dual importance, requiring careful exams. lathe' and deliberate consideration ; but I venture thus early to make this remark, that while there may be au eeenessy that will starve the service—and this would be . an economy which, es dealing with the 'gallant defenders of our country, you would not desire and parliament would not approve—there is also an economy which braces and invigorates, which seeks to expel from the syAsini everything which would interfere with its healthy action, which gives a tune to energy, and which makes its pulses beat with vigour. (Cheers.) It ought to be the objert • of government, as l &111 sure it will be of parliament and the people, to introduce this kind of economy through every branch of the public service. It is with • sincere desire that I may be able to render some assistance in performing a task like this that I have Teetered to accept the office I now till, and that I stand before you to-day as a caudid de for your suffrages. I eeteen it the highest homier to be connected by the ties of office with • noble service. awl I hole, I believe and I expect that in wined with Mr. elladnotie and Mr. Lowe at the frenswy. and with Mr. Childers at the Admisalty, we of the military department will be able steadily and rapidly to effect such a revision of the public exiendituie as may bring about result.' with which you will be ratistied herr. after. (Cheere.) I have raid so much to you during the past three months that I en net think you will e ith sue to outer at any I. neth upon gonna! questions. You know my sentiments on all of them, and I believe they are in harmony with y:run. (A Voice—" I should like to know what you think about the tuna.") Well, 1 will tell you with perfect plainness my • Bothers about the - ballot. I am for irera voting, • ulatever e 1.6 ham ene but I shall always be best pleased to tied that in this free country every was is aisle to give his vote, and fear nobody in to doing. (Cheers.) As you have already returned me nine times in sixtoeu yew a, de re is another point ef the charter of which, so far us I am concerned, you will feel that you lave no need—l allude to triennial parliaments. (Laughter.) I return you once more my most unfeigned and sincere thanks for this new mark of your unvarying confidence and kindness, and enure you that I feel deeply the responsibility whith has been cast upon me ; but volt know a mac is greatly strengthened and encouraged when he can return to the dubee of his office supported by the confidence, the kindness', and, I may truly say in your case, the attachment of the citizens whom he represents. (Cheers.) The right hon. gentleman concluded by moving a vote of thanks to the Mayor. Mr. Haueounr, M.P., in wending the motiou, said - Standing heroes I do, not to claim your suffrages. for I have not preformed that act which, according to the constitution, would forfeit my seat in parliament, 1 may say that I think I am entitled to some degree of credit for having been a true prophet. Almost the last words I spoke on these buntings were to the effect that I thought we should have a merry Christmas and a happy new year, for we should see at the head of the affairs of this country an administration which enjoyed the confideuce of the people. (Cheers.) The prediction has been ful filled even sooner than I expected, though I knew that it was certain to be fulfilled. I remember having once heard • story of an American gentleman, called Captain Smith, and who was a celebrated rifle thee One day, as be was • gut with his - rifle in a foreet there wee an animal called a 'coon sitting on the top of a high tree, and as soon as the 'coon saw the celebrated marksman, it called out—" Pray, sir, are you Catain John Smith because if you are, I know so well w hat an excellent shot you are, that I will not give you the trouble to fire, but will come down at once." (Laughter.) Now, her Majesty's late administration seem to have partaken of the sagacity of the 'coon. They seem—although not in the same vernacular as the 'rerou— te have addressed the present Prime Minister in laugnage quite as inte ll igible, for in effe t they said, " If you ham-en to be the Right Hon. William Ewart Gladstone, we will not give you thetrouble of meeting parliament and wsewill go out at once." (Hear, and laughter.) The mune they took upon that occasion seems to me to have been a wise and aprudent one, =done that was in accent once with the principles of the constitution. Above all, it seemed to me to be a matter of caution on their part, because it ham enabled them to leave office without declar ing what their policy is, or allowing people to find out, what I believe is the fact, that with reference to Ireland they have no policy at all. (Hear, hear.) Now, however, matters have returned to their proper position, and we have a government in a majority—a government which can govern—while we have also, what is not a bad thing if the minority is not too large—a minority who can Vse. There is one thing which fell from my friend Neate, in the piece of advice be gave to Mr. Cardwell, in which I cannot concur. a en tirely dined from the sentiment be expressed when he invited my right hon friend not to over-estimate the expectations of the country. I believe it is impossible, and that it would be most unwise on the pszt of the ex- Ming government, who have in their bends the fortunes of the liberal party, to under-eatimato the expeabstions of the country. (Hear, hear.) I believe there never was a government of which the country formed reek high and such joie expectatione—there never was a t which an the confidence of the sovereign, and the sup port of the people, had such enormous power for effecting that which will be for the national advantage, and therefore if the government err at all, I hope they will err in the direction of over-estimating rather than under-estimating the expect a tions of „ the country. (Cheers.) This parliament win elected, no doubt, specially with reference to the Irish church, but I believe it would be a profound and fatal mistake to nip tie that the attention of the nation is engrafted entirely he question of Ireland, or that the sympathies of the ral party are exhausted by the geodes of the Irish church (Hear, hear.) I believe the nation has much larger hopes and much wider expeciatioft, and that in the inauguration of • household suffrage parliament the country expects that the government now in power will give it a household suffrage policy —(hear, hear)-...11 policy that shall mainly devote itself to those questions whi n affect the interests of the humbler portions of the com munity. (Cheers.) It wu for this purpose, if fur any, that the extended suffrage was Amen otherwise we shall be in the situation of • manufacturer who has put up machinery of greater horse-power than his work re quires. Waving expreewd the pleasure it afforded him to see the exalted position in which We right hon. friend had bin placed, Mr. Harcourt concluded by seconding the vote of thanks to the Mayor. The motion was carried by acclamation, and the pro ceedings terminated.

SIR,—I have been recently requested by the secretary of the National Sunday League to take part in a course of "Sunday Evening Lectures for the People," which it is proposed to commence in a building registered for religious worship under some such title as " The Church of the Future:" the recent judgment of the Court of Common Pleas baying established the legality of each • proceeding. This request I have declined, upon the grounds stated in the accompanying letter; and I shall be much obliged by your giving publicity to they as it expressee what I know to be the view taken on the ques tion by many eminent scientific men, as well as by your obedient servant, WILLIAIf li.

Dear Sir. -So far as I understand the legal operation of the recent judgment, it door not sanction the Sunday earning tortures except in a place registered for public worship ; and it is on this footing that you now ask for my co-operation iu a renewal of the scheme in which I formerly declined to participate. I think you meet remember that 1 have from the first pr:dested against the attempt to shelter the '•Siniday Evenings for the Peelle" under the pretext of " Religious Wordiip" of any kind. I always regarded it, and still confine., to repaid it, as an unworthy evasion. '1 be perfonnanre of such music as may be beard in any conceit-room cannot be fairly accounted • "Religious Service ;" and the leetmer ought, in my judgment, to be left perfectly free in his treatment of a scientific subject, to give it a die beetle religions bearing or not, as be may be himself dispe:ed. Everthing seems to me to incluse° that the "Religion of the future" meet he based on the intollee teal and moral nature of man, and to help to lay its fonudntion in the popular mind, by training and elevating that nature, I regard as one of the noblest appheations of science. lam quite ready, therefore, to take my stand upon the right of scientific men to give admit:die fos•turan to the people on Sunday evenings, as ou any other; and will gladly co-operate in any renewal of the original echente, taking my full share of any risk that may be incurred in carrying it out.-1 am, tee., Wu.uex B.
