Mr. Disraeli has i;stie(l&fellowing ad dress to his constituents : TO Till ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF BUCKINGHAM. Oentlemen,—The House of Commons having, by a solemn vote, in which the leading men of all parties con curred. censured the cruel and double•dealing policy par. sued by the agents of the Government towards the Chinese, Parliament has been dissolved. Since the announcement of the dissolution the Minister has declared that his agents in China will be superseded, thus acknowledging the justness of the vote of the House of Commons. I: is clear, therefore, that the plea for dissolution is a pre►ext. What, then, is the real object ? To waste a year. Lord Palmerston is an eminent man, who has deserved well of his country; but as Prime Minister he occupies a false position. He is the Tory chief of a Radical Cabinet. With no domestic policy, he is obligtd to divert the atten tion of the people from the consideration of their own affairs to the distraction of foreign politics. His external system is turbulent and aggressive that his rule at home may be tranquil and unassailed. Hence arise excessive expenditure, heavy taxation, and the stoppage of all social improvement. His scheme of conduct is so devoid of all political prin ciple that when forced to appeal to the people his only claim to their confidence is his name. Such arts and resources may suit the despotic ruler of a continental State exhausted by revolutions, but they do not become a British Minister governing a country proud, free, and progressive, animated by glorious traditions, and aspiring to future excellence. The honour and the best interests of the country require that men should be returned to the new Perliement with definite principles. If you will confer on me, for the fourth time, the high distinction of being your member, I will, as heretofore, uphold our Constitution in Church and State, and support those popular and aristocratic institutions which, in this country, have not only made power a privi lege, but have extended the possession of that privilege to all who exec t themselves to deserve it—institutions which have educated a nation to aspire and excel. The general policy which 'I would enforce at this june• ture may be contained in these words—Honourable peace, reduced taxation, and social improvement. There is an attempt at the present day to play of the parties which exist, and have always to a certain degree existed, in the Church, against each other far political ob• jects. This is a dangerous course for Churchmen to sanction. The Church which, irrespective of its higher functions, is one of the great guarantees of English happiness, has foes enough without seeking for them in her own bosom ; and it would appear to me that, instead of quarrelling among themselves, Churchmen should evince mutual forbearance, ntr.te on the common ground of ecclesiastical polity, awl oppose all efforts to impair the integrity of that Reformed Church of England which is the best security for the religious liberty of all classes and creeds of her Majesty's subjects. I have - the li.,nour to remain, Your oblige 1 and faithful servant, B. DISH ELI. Hughenden Manor, March 17. LORD JOHN RUSSELL addressed a meeting of his trip: porters at the London Tavern on Thursday. The great room was densely crowded, and the noble lord was warmly received. Lord John Russell opened his address by art appeal against the recent decision of the Registration Society, to exclude him from the representation of the City, without giving him an opportunity of reply, and he now came before the electors of London to demand that they should reverse that decision. The noble lord then briefly alluded to his past political life, and, coming to the present, pointed out how he had voted in favour of the recent budget, as a proof that he was not actuated with any feeling of hostility to the Government in his vote against Lord Palmerston upon Mr. Locke King's motion, or upon the China question. Mr. Locke King's motion was strongly opposed by the Prime Minister. " Lord Palmerston declared very explicitly that he was not for comprehensive reform, and he did not approve of a bit•and hit reform like that." The noble lord justified his vote upon the China question, and characterised the charges of "factious combination " as " utterly false." With regard to the future, he th aught three questions were before the country. The first question was whether Lord Palmerstou's Government should be supported or replaced by any other?—" Upon that question I give you my opinion decidedly that I think Lord Palmerston's Go vernment ought to be supported ; and that, having to choose between Lord Palmerston as the head of the Liberal party, and the Earl of Derby as the head of the Conservative party, I would think it my duty to support the Government of Lord Palmerston." There was a second question raised in the addre.ses made to the country by persons of all sorts of opirions—and that is, whether Lord Palmerston should be supported irrespective of' any opinions he may profess or of any measure he may bring forward ?—" To that question I should give a decided ' Nu!' Rut there is a third question : anti I think it is the -most important of all. Putting aside both the first and the second questions as relating to persons and Ministers —whether the great Liberal party, whether the great
