It does not' appear that the system of examination was relaxed in consequence of the remonstrances of Lord MALMISUCIV. But, on the other hand, it does not appear that the candidates for the office of Attachti have increased in number, or that any steps have been taken to remedy the evil. The remedy suggested by the Civil Service Commissioners is gtit erpreox. very simple, and, in fact, coincides with the , plan adopted by Lord JOHN RUMUL, in order to obtain efficient Consuls for China and Japan. Lord MALMILSBCHY was recom• mended to bestow the office of Attache "according "to a well-regulated competition." There is at present a committee sitting upon the sub ject of the Diplomatic Service, and this fact might no doubt, according to precedent, have been pleaded against making any changes until its report had been presented. But in the matter of the Student Interpreters Lord JOHN RUNIF.J.L has re fused to postpone reform. These, however, are minor offices. There are diplomatic appoint ments in the gift of the Foreign Secretary not less important than those of incipient Con suls, and much more likely to excite the ambi tion of young men at the University. It is well known that one of the ablest and most learned of our English diplomatists was transferred some eighteen years ago, from being a scholar at one of the colleges of Oxford, to the embassy at Con stantinople. And now that the principle of ap pointing by merit young men to the consular ser vice has been admitted, there is no reason what ever why the same principle should not be ap plied to the appointment of Attachi:s and incipient Ambassadors. The best answer which Lord JOHN RC/L9ELL could make to Mr. BAILLIL COCHRANE, if he can succeed in getting twenty members to listen to him, would be the announcement that henceforth the selection of AttacheS is to be by competition. lellar Mr lsi kr "Tim =4;401, simile GYM ell efts.

LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 19. lon J.n J„xr Rv.iuj. has written a letter to his Royal II ighlitus the CILINCIU.I.4)II of Cau sajncs Usivramrv, in which he requests the academical authorities to name three gentlemen from among the members of the various colleges to compete for certain appointments as Student Interpreters in China and Japan ; and a similar letter has been addressed to the University of Oxford. The ad- vantages or disadvantages attached to the offices in question include the prospect of rising to the dig nity of Consul ; an immediate salary of 2001. a year, together with the cost of the passage out ; and the drawback of living at the other aide of the world in a climate " more or less trying " to the constitution. Will the proposal succeed 1 Will any candidates from Cambridge or Oxford pre sent themselves I If they do, the experiment de serves to be repeated. If they do not, it is very necessary to beware against assuming that the ex perimentof opencompetitionforappointmentain the gift of the Foamy Miners& has failed. Indeed, judging from experience, it should be no matter of surprise to find no Cambridge or Oxford candidate willing to accept the offer. Seeing the number of appointments, civil and military, now open to public competition, the host of Scholarships and Fellow ships filled by open examination, there would be nothing strange if no one from either University were to be found willing to become a Student In terpreter in China or Japan. Before a lad proceeds to College he has generally selected his profession, or at all events has in some sort chalked out his course of life. Originally the limits of age— sixteen to eighteen—proposed by Lord JOHN RUSSZLI. were not very fortunately selected, be cause there are probably not ten students at Oxford or Cambridge under eighteen, and none who take their degree at twenty. Already his lordship has found it necessary to make some alteration in this respect, for in a second letter the age has been extended to twenty-five--but for this time only. Of the few, therefore, who are eligible, it is hardly probable that any will be pre pared to cut short their University career, and exchange the advantages attached to it for those of a student of languages in the East. The difficulty of inducing young men of Oxford and Cambridge to abandon this country, even after they have obtained their degrees, is scarcely to be exam rated. There is no more noble and honourable career than that of the Civil Service of India. Of the 845 appointments in Bengal, Madras, and Bombay, the salaries range from 1,0001. to 5,0001. a year ; and even upon first arriving in India the young writer receives about 4001. a year. Canal d,ering the wide range of age presented for can ... endates--eighteen to twenty-three—that no par ticular cause of special studies is required for the Best examination, and that in fact anyone well pre pared to take high honours at any of the principal English or Irish universities has a good chance of success, and that his attempt to obtain one of these numerous prizes, even if unsuccessful, would hardly, if at all, interfere with hie academical progress, it is natural to suppose that there would be no lack of eligible candidates. Nevertheless it appears that in the year 1858, out of all the candidates, there were only twelve from the Uni versity of Cambridge, of whom three were success ful, whilst of the thirty from Oxford only nine were successful. Under such circumstances it may pos sibly happen that no one at either University maybe prepared to accept the offer of Lord Joint Ros eau. But even should the result be such, it will prove nothing against the competitive system. It will merely show, what seems by no mean@ im probable, that the class of young men who go to the University is not the clans to be tempted by 2001. a year and the prospect of becoming in time a British Consul, to abandon this country for • residence in China or Japan. The letter, however, of Lord J011:4 RCIVIELL proves ens thing—that, in his opinion, the com petitive system furnishes the best means of obtaining young men to fill the post of Consuls abroad. At Boulogne, at Calais, or in the Medi terranean, any broken-down military officer, or ci-devs•t Baku BIMMMELL, may get through the duties of • Consul. But in the East it is other wise. At all events, if the Hon. HOWLILD Voss was able, with his imperfect knowledge of his native tongue, to conduct the consular business, it is difficult to understand why Lord JOHN Russsu. should have written this letter to his Royal High ness the Cambridge CHANI'LLLOIL It is but fair to mune that a Consul in the Ernst requires to be a sees of male and «location, and that in order to sewn these qualities Lord Joan Russtu has adopeed the means which experience has already proved to be moat effectual for the purpose. But why atop at Student Interpreters and Consuls 1 If • public competition can secure the best man to 1111 these offices, why should it fail to enure the best man for the office of Attache? The lamentation of Lord IL.' VESBVILY over the want of candidates for the office of unpaid Attache is still fresh in our recollection. In the year 1858, from the remote highlands of the north, he declared his inability to carry on the business of the Foreign-office if the Civil Service Commissioners persisted in re jecting his nominees for ignorance in spelling and such ornamental accomplishments. At that time the state of things was such that the list of candi dates, which in 1859 amounted to thirty-one, had been reduced to Iwo, and it was confidently pro dieted by Lord 11xxiirescar that if the Civil Service examiners pernsted in their unprac tical course, the increase of the labour of the AttachOi on duty as well as a curtailment of the leave of absence would be the LAM? night the Army Estimates were discussed in the House of Commons with more than usual judgment, and with a concurrence of desire for the efficiency of the service and a wise administra tion of the public money. But where were our friends the Financial Reformers 1 Some of them were in their places, attending intelligently to the important interests before the House. But others, and those some of the loudest to complain with cheap and unenquiring generality of the mag nitude of the public expenditure, were absent. That flagrant job, the creation of the office of Major- General of the Guards, against which Lord ALraan Caracaux., a Conservative, appealed to the sense of Parliament, and which has been condemned by one military authority after another, was allowed to go practically unrebuked in a House of 175. Four more votes on the right side would have been sufficient to put a stop to this waste of the public money. We have, as Colonel Down's observed, a Staff sufficient for an army of 500,000 men. How can Lord PanizairroN ask the House to place confidence in the military authori ties, when they take advantage of their position to multiply unnecessary poets for the sake of indivi dual officers whom it may be wished to gratify! THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, A.PRII I 19, LATEST INTELLIGENCE. 7 After the speech of Count Cav4 Garibaldi again spoke, and demanded that the nation should be armed in the same manner as in England. He designated the French army as an enemy of Italy, because it occupied Rome. Garibaldi indicated, as a means for reconciling the different parties of the country, the reorganisation of the army of volun teers, and its immediate despatch to the Two Sicilies, for the suppression of all disturbances. TURIN, Aram 18. The Opiniour of to-day announces that the National Guard have energetically repressed the reactionary attempta in the Neapolitan provinces, whither troops have been sent. Tranquillity has been everywhere re-established. TURIN, Aram 1& Garibaldi was present at to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, and was received with such an outburst of applause that the business of the chamber was temporarily suspended. Garibaldi took his seat on the Left, at the aide of Signor Macchi. THE BOMBAY MAIL Baron Ricasoli then put his interpellation rela tive to the southern army, and requested the ministry to state their motives for disbanding the army of Southern Italy, and what prompted the measures ordered to be taken for its reorganisation. General Fanti, the Minister of War, defended the measures which had been taken, and said that the system of volunteering was not always favour able to discipline. He said it was impossible to incorporate all the Garibaldian officers in the royal army with the rank they previously held. He justified the measures which had been taken with regard to the Bourbon army, and concluded by reviewing the state of the royal army. Garibaldi then pronounced a speech so violent that it excited a tumult in the chamber. He made offensive allusions to the Ministry, against which Count Cavour protested. The President of the Chamber put on his bat, and the sitting was suspended for several moments. Garibaldi, in resuming his speech, spoke with more moderation. He defended the conduct of his comrades in arms, and said that the formation of three divisions of volunteers as decreed was not I sufficient for a national armament. General Bixio, who spoke with much warmth, recommended concord and conciliation. His speech was received with loud applause. Count Cavour said he accepted the words of con ciliation expressed in the speech of General Bixio, and declared that he would forget the unpleasant incideuts of the sitting. Count Cavour then gave some explanation respecting the armaments, and concluded by laying stress on the importance of the present phase of the national movement. Garibaldi explained several facts alluded to by Count Cavour, and expressed his belief that Cavour loved Italy. He concluded by explaining his reasons for desiring the re•organiaation of the volunteers in Southern Italy. Several orders of the day were then proposed, and the discussion was adjourned till to-morrow. .01SZL'S HYDROSTATIC TEA and COFFEE PLICOLATith —I to 100.0u0 rape, strew Ina bright, Is • meeseeL Greet saving et,ooo ..Id Frye ea.

The Bombay journals of March 27 and Calcutta journals of March 18, received this morning, con tain further afflicting accounts of the famine. In the Delhi district thousands are dying. It is stated that many who manage to escape from starvation fall victims to crime. Frequent and terrible murders are occurring daily. From Um balla we hear (March 16) that there had been a good fall of rain which lasted three days. There bad also been a little rain at Rawul Pindee and Bareilly. Throughout the Central Doab the dis tress was universal. A Delhi contemporary makes the following observations : The pre sure of the prevailing distress, and the apprehen sion pretty widely felt by natives a the continuance of the famine, and a subsequent visitation of a pestilence or epidemic, has given rise to a sentiment which is, to say the least, if nothing else, poetic. It is, that the souls of the innocents who were murdered at Cawnpore, Delhi, onehjahaspore, and other places, during the mutiny, bare been eryiai out for vengeance on their murderers, and their cries have at last been heard in the court of Heaven, from which the lei has gone forth for the levy of that retribu ties from the bloodstained land which no human arm has yet takes. Those among the natives who are given to reflect on wain evente, cannot fail to be struck with the present aspect of affairs. In most of the places in the North-Wait where three years ago English blood was treacherously and mercilessly shed, the poor of the land are fed and sup ported in thousands at the expenditure of lace of rupees, by the survivors of the very race whose extermination was attempted by treachery and asmasination so short a time ago. From this they may learn a lesson in the tenets of the Christian faith. While contributions are pouring in from all parts of the country to relieve the sufferings of the people in the Punjab and the North-west Pro vinces, we have the sad tidings of the same dreadful calamity destroying hundreds of human beings in South Travancore. In letters dated between the 20th of February and the 4th instant, published by a Madras contemporary, we observe it stated that the whole of the cultivation this year has failed in consequence of the drought, while there is not a paddy field in which the people could find employment. It appears that in October last, a fair quantity of rain fell in that part of the coun try, but whole fields of paddy were destroyed by caterpillars, and cholera carried off hundreds, thus adding to the distress by famine. Hundreds of children, it is stated, are left orphans, and many a widow bad to sell everything to save herself and infants from starvation. The Rev. J. Cox thus describes the state of the people: This district is about 35 miles hag and 20 wide, contain. log, according to • former opuses, 150,000 people. The famine is more felt in the 'outliers puts of this district. Great bunches of the people there are so weak as to be scarcely able to walk. They are so thin that their bows project. They have been subsisting on roots and leaves till them have hilted, and they have sold little things they had shoot their houses sod parts of their houses, and tress from their rodeos, till these were exhausted ; and inlay have even sold their children for seep a sum as a quarter of a tepee and less. Many whom I knew some months ago are sow so shrunk that I mu scarcely reoognies them. The commissioner of the Agra division had re ported to government that the distress there was not on the increase ; that there los by no means been anything like a total failure of spring or rubbee crops in Agra or Muttra ; that a consider able yield of grain would be the produce of this year ; that large imports of grain from the east ward were daily arriving ; that there had been rain in some of the districts, besides the Agra divi sion, whose harvests were in jeopardy three weeks previously ; and that these circumstances would probably prevent a further rise in the price of food, and might be expected to lower it consi derably. He maintains that nothing at all com parable to the distress and suffering felt in 1837-38 exists at present, and that nothing which can be correctly called a famine will add to the present I agricultural distress, unless the periodical rains of the coming season are withheld or are greatly deficient in quantity. The Lieut.-Governor of the North-West is not disposed, however, to be san guine as to the produce of the coming spring har vest, because an immense breadth of land must have remained unsown, and the seed put into the ground failed to germinate. His honour believes that the little rain that has fallen may, in some measure, have improved the prospects of the season. A very general subject of interest throughout India is the supply of Indian cotton to England. "The amount of talk on the subject," says the Bombay Guyette/ " in Calcutta, Bombay, and other places especially interested, can be less only than that in Manchester. In India, however, as in Manchester, it is 'vox et prueteres nihil.' The capabilities of India to produce cotton are admitted to be unbounded ; and the means of production afforded directly to the ryota are all that is re quired to realise a supply equal to any demand." The amalgamation committee arestill at work in Calcutta and its proceedings leak out; but the Indian army is full of anxious expectation as to its fats The Civil Finanos Commission, now sitting in Calcutta, is astonishing the country with the mag nitude of its retrenchments. Collectorate and de puty-collectorate offices are to be abolished by the wbolenale. Orders had been issued for &census of all British born persons residing in India, to be taken on the Bth of April. The Governor-General has ordered a return to be made, for the term ending 30th proximo, of all the presses working throughout India on that date, and of the publications issued from them. The ulterior object of the French ships of war at present in the Red Sea is believed to be the occu pation of a suitable port which may serve as a coaling station, and otherwise facilitate the exten sion of the national influence in that quarter, and especially over Abyssinia. knee our last savior very little business has been done is ear export market.

The majority of the members protested against this accusation. SPAIN. MADRID, Fan) AT.

POLAND. BRESLAU, Ans. 18. Advices from Warsaw, to the 115thiost., state that the system of repression was extending there. The negotiations with the Polish leaders bad, until then, been without any result. They inspired no great confidence. The troops bivouacked in the public squares. Foreigners entering Poland are subjected to a strict examination. TURKEY. PARIS. Fam AT. The Paris papers publish a telegram from Con stantinople, dated 18th inst., which asserts that the Porte has sanctioned the union of the Danu bian Principalities under Prince Couza, and has demanded that the conference at Paris should take official notice of the fact. It is stated that no diplomatic representative has offered any opposition to this resolution of the Porte, not even Baron Prokesch, the Austrian interuuncio. "The King of Prussia," says a Berlin letter, "is isdisposed, but not many ill. The truth is his Majesty does not take sufficient rest ; after having employed all the day in giving audiences, attending deliberations, or passing reviews, he works to a late hour in the night with hi s ministers." The night of the 12th was fixed upon by the Amalie° party in Rome for a demonstration of loyalty and affection to the Supreme Pontiff upon the occasion of its bang the anniversary of his return from Gaeta. "It was a great amusement.," writes the correspondent of the Pow, for the ROMEO, in promenading the city, to observe what palates and private residences were illuminated and what others were left in darkness, and many were the com ments made in consequence. British lookers-on were edified to see the British consular residence, at the Parisani Palace, decorated with a row of twelve paper lanterns on the bal cony, with the lion and unicorn on one side and the Pope'■ arms on the other. This was rather en exception to the diplomatic reserve which prevented most of the foreign representatives from illuminatiog their houses." A Madrid letter states that a ball recently given by the Duchess of Medina-Cell is the great subject of con versation in th►t city. On the occasion alluded to there was • special quadrille composed of all the characters in " Don Quixote," in costumes copied from the engravings in the grand edition of that work published by the Spanish Academy. A Preach gentleman personated the knight of La Mancha ; the duchess was represented by the Duchess de Fernand Nunes, and of course Sancho was not forgotten. Oa the following day the Duke de Medina-Cali bad photo. graphs taken of his pasta, to the number of two hundred, all coloured with the utmost care, to be formed into as album. It is said that this caprice will cost the duke some 15,000 fr. _ . _ _ .

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. PROW OUR ORS PARIS, THURSDAY &IMO. The Emperor reviewed General Baraine's division this afternoon in the court of the Tuileries. For the first time some of the young recruits belonging to the army of reserve appeared before his Majesty in arms. These recruits formed the first line of the division. They were without knapsacks, and it was evident, from the way in which they went through the few simple movements which they were required to execute, that they had not seen much drill. They will be sent home on the Ist of the month, when their three months' service will have expired. They will take with them a part of their equipments, and, pursuant to the new regulations, will hereafter be called out for inspection twice a year. It is reported that the Minister of War has issued a circular to the prefects, desiring them to check the promulgation of unofficial news touching the movements of the army and navy. Count de Kisseleff was sent for to the Tuileries at 10 o'clock last evening. It is said that Napoleon 111. and the Czar have personally interchanged a great many telegrams since the massacres of Warsaw. A Paris letter in the Inclipendunce of Brussels mentions the expected arrival in the French capital of Count Andrd Zamoyski, President of the Agricultural Society of Warsaw, and of Count Potocki. They will afterwards proceed to London, their object being to solicit the intervention of France and England in favour of Poland. The Senate held a sitting yesterday, M. Troplong in the chair. The order of the day was the discus sion on the petition, alre►dy mentioned, relative to the nobility created by Napoleon 1., who are placed at a disadvantage when compared with the nobility of the more ancient times, in consequence of not being able to transmit their titles without possessing sufficient property to constitute a ma jorat. The petition prayed to have the titles sent down from father to son &lure, and without any reference to property. After an animated debate, in which Baron de Vincent, Count de Casabianea (reporter), M. Tourangin, and M. do Royer took part, the matter was referred to the Minister of Justice—a step which implies that the Senate is favourably disposed towards the petition. The Bourse was firm, although the amount of busi ness done continues to be very restricted. The Rente rose 10c. for cash and The, for account, clos ing, in each case, at fi7fr. 90c. Mobilier rose 7fr. 50c. The Northern and Lyons railways rose 2fr. 50c. each ; Southern, 3fr. 75c.; and the other lines, lfr. 25c. each. The Marseilles failures are said to be less serious than was supposed yesterday. Letters from Italy state that continued Austrian movements on the Po, near Ferrara, suggest the probability of an attack on Sardinia, commencing with an invasion of the Duchy of Modena. This, it should be borne in mind, would not be an infra°. tion of the treaty of Villafranca. The second volume of M. Gamier Pagbe' history is out to-day. It describes the "national" move ments of 1848 in Germany, Hungary, Belgium, Poland, kc., and devotes a chapter to the chartist and Irish demonstrations of that year. THE TEMPORAL POWER OP THE POPE. The following is a report, dated Munich, April 13, of a lecture delivered at the Munich University : M. le Chsnoine Dollinger, in his second lecture, resumed his arguments against the temporal power of the Pope u follows: 1. The Holy See has subsieted for 700 years without ter ritorial possessions, for 706 years without having the pos session of its Pontifical States assured, for 300 years in the full and entire possession of its estates. The actual state of things, the result of the Fiench domination, Las only been in existence for 45 years. 2. It is therefor* recognised and proved historically that territorial possessions and temporal domination are not ab solutely necessary for the liberty and iodepeodence a s the church. Before 3 . now, and especially at the present moment, the whole public opinion of Italy is declared spinet the main tenance of the Pontifical Mats, particularly beanies it is looked upon as the principal obstacle to the realiaation of • strong Italian empire, and of • great united nation. 4. In the Pontideal State itself not only has a numerous party disturbed the Holy See for thirty or forty years, but at the moment of attack there has not been • single party in the population which has shown towards it any attachment or devotion. b. For centuries • tendency towards seculariaation has been manifested everywhere, and has ended by predo minating everywhere in Europe u shown by the tendency to separate temporal and political from spiritual affairs.

DECLARATION OF THE POLL.-(THIS DAY.) This morning the result of the poll WAR officially declared at the hustings in Portland.rlace. The crowd which assembled, though considerable, was far less nu merous than that which attended the nomination on Wed. neaday. It was remarkable for its good hiunour, and in this respect presented a very agreeable contrast to the manifestations of angry and personal feelings made on similar occasions some yams back. Sir Robert Carden wee the first candidate who presented himself, being arcane pealed by his mover and seconder, Sir James Hamilton and Mr. Penny, Lord J. Manners, Sir J. Heron Maxwell, M. Farquhar, Mr. R. Price, Mr. Dims&le, Mr. Hodgson. and Mr. Atkinson ; Mr. Wiogrove Cooke arrived next, along with Mr. Wyld, and three or four other of his supporters. He was quickly succeeded by Mr. Lewis, who was greeted with loud cheering. The interval which elapsed between the arrival of the candidates and the formal decla ration of the poll, was filled up with a running fire of chaffing acclamations, addressed by the wags in the multi tude to Sir Robert Carden, by whom they were received with a uniform good temper which nothing seemed mph/a of ruffling. The Rartranuco Omcsta (Yr. Tamplin) then announo the result of the poll as follows : Lewis Carden Cooke Marshismes Twoindium 1 He then declared Mr. Harvey Lewis duly elected, an soouncemeat which was received with immense applause.: Mr. H. L6lllB, in returning thanks, said from the first moment of his selection he never doubted of mimeos. The electors had nobly carried him to victory, and it was now for him honourably and efficiently to redeem the pledgee which he had given. (Cheers.) No man should ever ask for such a proud position without being (let,- mined to do his utmost to prove himself worthy of it. (Hear, hear.) His opponents had • perfect right to seek that igh laouour. The neat candidate on the poll to him. self was the conservative one. (Laughter.) The nioniest of victory was a moment for showing all their forbearance. (Cheers.) lie was delighted that his conservative opponent had not succeeded ; but he and his party had • perfect right to be represented. (Hear, best.) They kept the liberal party up to their work and that party required such a spur, as well a little whip. ping on the part of the constituencies. (Cheers.) Pre eminently entitled to the respect of the electors was the other liberal candidate, whom he hopod he might call his friend. (Lend cheers.) The field of that election was in such a position that he bad a right to seek the prise before him. Mr. Cooke fought his Ludo like a gentleman, and when he felt that there was danger to the liberal cause he resigned to prevent • conservative from coming in. Some parties had said that he (Mr. Lewis) was base enough to Fey, and Mr. Cooke base enough to receive, • money bribe for that retirement. He rave au emphatic denial to that accusation. (('heers.) Not a single shilling was asked for, or promised, or would be received. (Hear.) He wee delighted that nothing of • personal character had disgraced the progress of that elec. don. (Hear, hear.) Deep gratitude would ever be cherished in his mind towards his committeemen ; but ho should also feel squally grateful to the constituency, and to the non. electors, for the support which they had directly and indi rectly given to him. (Cheers.) He concluded by °atria:nig a fair hearing for Sir Robert Carden. Sir It. CARDLN said he could not address the assembly with the same feelings as Mr. Lewis, because their position was different. There never was an election which was mm. ducted in a more gentlemanly and honourable spirit. (Cheers.) He came there to tender publicly to his proposer and seconder, and his committee, his best thanks for their exer• tions in his behalf. He was a conservative, and proud he was of that fact. He had been a conservative from his youth, and his conservatism was growing stronger every day. (Hear, beer.) The people would soon discover that the camervative party were their best friends. All the beet liberal measures far many years psat were proposed by conservatives. ("No, no.") At the present tune they would prefer the reduction of the tea and sugar duties to the repeal of the paper duty, which would not benefit the people in the least. He represented a cause which was growing in the minds of the people—(laughter)—and which he believed would continue to grow. lie had spent a great deal of his money on behalf of that cause. (Derisive laughter.) Let him not be mistaken • he bad paid nothing to any agent or canvasser, sod he felt more pride with re gard to the 2,600 than he would at having the majority et o, '2OO. (Cries of "Oh, oh," and immense laughter.) He felt more pride, because the votes against him were revolutionary. Misses, and continued uproar, which made it impossible for Sir Robert to o bt a in • hear her—his last remark having completely changed the feeling of the assembly.) Sir Jame HAMILTON interposed with the remark that " me all ordinary occasions slip go over again," and that Sir Robert wished to withdraw his 12.4 observation. (Criss of "No, no," and renewed uproar.) Sir ROBERT, on resuming, defended himself, amidst con siderable interuptioo, from the charge of having oppressed the poor orange girls, the effect of his remarks on this point being that great indulgence was shown to such persons at first, and that in acting as he did ultimately, he merely discharged what appeared to him his duty as a ma g Mist& Mr. WINOROTI COOKE then came forward, and said hie snocesuful rival had shown moderation in prosperity ; it was for him (Mr. Cooke) to show fortitude in adversity. In this free land an election was a contest not of men only, but of principles. If liberal candidates mate forward seeking objects of ambition, they were objects of high and noble ambition, and they aimed at piping the respect of their countrymen. (Hear, hear.) He entered into that contest feeling that it was almost the hsiot of presumption for him to offer himself to so great a ritugh. He was, however, encouraged by the support of many influential men ; and early in the struggle he was informed that there were 4,000 promises in his favour, and ten public meetings declared their approval of his candidature. In that election there was one hour which was extremely critical—it was the workinpnan's dinner hour. Before the election he told some of his principal supporters that if the 1 o'clock returns were against him he would retire. On re. miring those returns yesterday beat once acted in accordance I with that previous announcement : he went to Mr. Lewis's coinmittee.rooms and declared aloud that he resigned. (Loud cheering.) As regarded the charge that he had received money to retire, he could only say that his life showed that that was a gross calumny. (Great cheers.) He and hie two opponents had fought the contest like gentlemen, and they bad nothing to accuse themselves of now that it was end ed. He returned his hearty thanks to all who had given him then support. He believed that the hen. baronet (Sir H. Coda) was anxious to recall the opprobious terms he used. (Cheers) It was not the policy of any party iu this country to all that those in whom the constituency had vested the elm lions of men to sit in Parlianieut were revolutionary. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) All who exercised the free' obis° according to the best of their judgment. whether they 'isilooged to the higher or middle chose or were among the humblest winters of society, were equally covered by the mantle of the constitution. He oia• eluded by remarking that he should take away with him a vivid recollection of all the kindness he had received. Mr. P. GRAHAM made • few reauarlui deprecating the continuance of any hostile feelings. Sir Janes HAMILTON, who followed, said all that could be raid against his friend Sir Robert Carden was that Its had lost the election—he had not lost his temper. He then expressed his thanks to Mr. Lewis for the role eiliatory spirit which he bad manifested, remarking that such feelings as he bad displayed in that comma would conciliate his personal respect, however be might differ from Mr. Lewis in polities. (Cheers.) Advertisi to Sir Robert Cardeo's use of the word " revolutioearyt he said it with a fapeete thyme. (Laughter.) What Ss Robert meant to say—only they ' , topped his mouth by their coefounded noise—(laughter)—wan %het se every good. carried too far, might degenerate into bad, so reform move mete, if carried too far, might degenerate into revolution. (Hear, and laughter.) Mr. WTLD, M.P., said that Mr. Conks was not prewar thous in corning forwanl was proved by the kind receptk 4 aeoerded to him that day. (Cheers.) His conduct in re• tiring was highly houourable. sod would no doubt wars for him universal respect. He tnisted that the talents Mr. Cooke would ere long be conjoined with those of Harvey Lewis in promoting the cause of reform in pars' meat. On the motion of Mr. Haverty Lrwis, necondedfhT Sir ROOKRT CARDER, thanks were Toted to the returning the vote being confirmed by • hearty " three times three and that gentleman having returned thank., the ci .wi dispersal On Tuesday hat tho Rev.
