,o, or) I, dim Indust NI Nth* Meth* MU of s Peer Is not the fittest man bowmen , dm Comments of Hagland. It is natural for all men to look. forward, and laud Bowielt must be looking forward In the MOM of satire , at no distant perked of time to become al4 j bef the Besse of Peers—of that branch of the Legislature which is a check epos the public woke. I sill not quarrel with the eonsti. lode, of the House of Peers. It may he'very necessary ;it may' be we good as a cheek on the House of Commons. Bat though say be Rani ao a cheek. it may be inlechievouvi as an impulse, as a dug may be outdo] in going down a hill, thimgti you would not think of placing It before your Wheels in getting up one. I there. fete think the public monde on which lard Novick is recom mended are neither good, sound, sensible, or constitutional. As to toe inner Candidates, I have little to say. Their public opinions are vary direteed from mine ; Ant I believe they hare formed their carmen* wei sinceettly, I believe that there is in this county a r amber of persons of the same opinions, and that they would very mopeely represent them, if they could be returned. But this does not deter me Ikon expressieg my own political opinions, and the preference i have 11w Mr. Beaumont. I shall now apologize for presentiog myself before you. My reason fir doing so was this— thee the t. oar of nil the Itte Member lot Durham's obaervatior.s on Mr. Beaumont lett hie friends and me to suppose that he would bling ssaties; him s •me accusations of a private nature, and be. tfiuse I believe I am better acquainted with the circumstances so often alluded to than any other Individal. I congratulate the late Member for Denham, that by reflection he has b. come wiser ' and Viet he has rot, in this place, and in the face of the county, been guilty of the wickedness and folly of reposing transactiims, the disclosure of which would give pain to other patties. Mr. Kean moot has decided, on his part, not voluntarily to bring those cir canutunete forward. Poe himself be has nothing to tear. He has pledged himself to meet any accusation, and he is not the man to tail in any pledge he has given. Mr. Oozy. of .Millfield, knew nothing of any private quarrel between lir. B. and any of the leading families of the county ; but Mr. B. ought, in common justice, to state how it happened. ac cording to his own shewing, that he was not supported by one family of consequence In the county. 31r. BraI3DGONT-1 am not going to detain you two minutes. and I shall not regale you, aou have been regaled, by the abuse deny candidate whatever. This long.sought-for question, which Ism drive me from 31orpeth, from Alowick, and from the county. has at length been put by one of the gentlemen whom I will do the justice to stay, that he is one of the most respectable of that party at My loft hand. Wily have I forfeit. d the confidence of the Whig away of the county f (Heir.) I know of no reason in tlee world, but that I have had a private quarrel with two of the ]fading gent's', and that the others, without knowing my case, have chosen to tack &widen to their heels. I will pledge my existence that my awls not known to any one of theta. lam satisfied it Isnot. Sincerely, and from the bo: tom of my heart, I exculpate herd Howlek from every malicious intention whatever. I am as satis fied of that being the case as that this is my right hand. And now I have told you why I have forfeited the confidence of these men ; and I well tell you that I glory in having forte tad the confidence of those who have not independence enough to judge for themselves. I look forward to the freemen of England, and upon them I shall bold me fame ; and let the aristocracy take car. lest they should r‘part the day when, by their insolence, the good sense and the mot, of Englishmen were first arrayed against them. Sir M. W. Runty declared that he objected to Mr. Beau- Not solely on the ground that he had, for the last six year., Reza a very trregulu attendee to his duties in the House of Commons. Mr. Om again presented himself to the Meeting. Ile saki— ! know that when I address a large body of freeholder of this county, I speak to men who are as anxious to do justice to every man as lam myself. I have no wish to go into maters of private story, or scandal, as it may bet but as 3lr. nettumunt has declared :hot that private quarrel was the cause of his dereliction of his public duties, and that he would nut resume those duties until the matter was explained, he ought now, in justice, to give us that ex planation. Mr. Grey here, amid cries of " Chair, chair," " Order, order," and " Spoke, spoke," read the following adver tisement " Gentlemen,—l have returned to England in order to discharge duties in Parliament. but have found tl•st reports concerning the have gained credit which render me unlit far acting as your Re- Pnrimbuiva, I mast therefore decline any further attendance in tne Homy of Commons, until I am able to repel the infamous ale. gitiool which have been urged against mo. " I have the honcity to remain, Gentlemen, " Your obedient humble Servant, " T. W. BEAUMONT " I tea,* it to you, Gentlemen, (said Mr. G ley) to state whether Mr. Beaumont has repelled those allegations—whether tie ha. Risen to you any satisfactory reason for having declined, for so long a period, to 'melte those duties which he took upon himself to watch over and perform, when you returned him a. your Representative. (Cries( of " No, no.") Mr. Beaumont ha. never given an answer to those charges. At least. if he has, it i. witnowm to me. I iteser heard it, and I should be glad to hear it now. (Loud cheers, tangled with disapprobation.) Mr. Et.avron having put the Candidates in nomination. de clared the show of hands to be in favour of T. W. Beaumont, Esq. and the Hon. If. T. Liddell. The thanks of the Meeting were given to Mr. Clayton, after ok.rob the Meeting dissolved. PRESTON ELECTION. TnuasnAr Moamar°. The state of the poll yesterday evening was thus : How. E. G. Stanley - 403 Captain Barrie J. Weal. Esq. -. 233 W. Cobbett - After the candidates had returned front the hustings, Mr. WOOD addressed the multitude front the window of his hotel. in the midst of his harangue up came Captain Barrie and his friends in pmeessioral stray, writ banners flying. drums beating, trum pets, Are. The musical noires drowned Mr. Wood's voice. The march of the processien through the crowd of Mr. Wood's earers caused considerable bustle and confusion. Mr. Wood ceased speaking; his hearers became indignant at what they con. wdered an insulting interruption, and loudly declared they would not let Captain Barrie's party pass through them until 51r. Wood niuld have terminamd his speech. The pmeession continued their progrms. and entered the crowd. The multitude shouted de fiance, and jostled Captain 'tarries friends. The latter were proceeding to return the compliment. when, fortunately, the en. treaties of Mr. Wood arid 31r. Stanley, front opposite windows, prwealled over the irritated feelings of their friends, and the pro „a„,,saw was permitted topers in single filar through the large and krnpact crowd. Mr. H trod resumed his harArgue, and returned thanks to the multitude for their forbearance and peaceful de. tr.esnov. Mr. lit•W T.ET next adtlressed them from his hotel, which stands ..peosite to Mr. Wood's, and congratulated them on the temperate a.,el testiest manner in which they trea.cd the unadvised insult. The multitatle thin quietly dispersed. :dr. Wood has not appeared on the hustings this morning, in coosequence or the death of his mother. Captain Barrie's friends ..re making Inc greatest exertions, and declare their cotdident ex. pecteion of Lis success. Mr. Wood's friends predict his return, tea) Mr. Cohbett, and he alone. u.serts, that himself will indu bitaLly be elected. 01 ce..rse nobody gives much credit to either to them, Lut least of all to Gibbets.

He founded this application on the ineligibility of Mr. Birth, and shortly re-stated to the AIPOMOr the arguments which he had urged, and the facts which he had proved on Monday ; he re capitulated the answers which had been attempted to'be given him, and commented, in strong terms. on the deeds of assignment and the relents, which, he said, appeared clearly to have been ma nufactured for the occasion. Assuring them that he had satisfied the Assessor on these points, and that the Assessor had declined to grant his tint application, because he was unwilling to decide so important a question as the ineligibily of • Candidate, he urged that the only,mode of doing equal justice between the parties was to made a duuble return. After an animated answer by Mr. Davis, and a reply by Mr. Coleridge, the Assessor deli►ered his decision at length, in which he said that he had declined to state any opinion on Monday, be cause he was unwilling to prejudice the vn•e of any single elector; as that reason now no longer esisted, he had no hesitation in say ing that he thought Mr. Bildt clearly Ineligible, and that it was the Bailiff's duty to make a double return. This deckle., spread gluon' and disappointment over the ermine. nencei of Mr. Bish and his friends. The severol Candidates then addressed the electors. Mr. Itis4 spoke at great length, and with great bitterness, from notes written on the hacks of old lottery cants, on which Bish and Co., with flourishes of blue and red, were very visible. The three Candidates returned were then mounted in splendid chairs, and paraded the town with banners and music, among an immense, hut, upon the whole, a peaceable and good-humoured concourse of people.

[From the 'Woman's Journal of IS'ednesday.l The Requisition of the Electors of Drogheda, to the number of 370, to Mr. Wallace, that he would offer himself as a Candidate, was presented to him on Thursday last ; and having taken from that day to Saturday evening to consider the subject, he then gave it a direct refusal. This was rivet, to one of the Lleputa. Lion. This refusal was made known by that person to the Eke tors on the Sunday, and in the course of that day, Mr. W. was attain pressed by another of the persons by whom the proposition had been made, and who holds a responsible rank in the Corpo ration ; he was Induced to give his consent to be put in nomina tion. In the mean time the Electors, to whom the refusal of Mr. W. lrild been communicated, waited on Mr. Vanhomrigh, and obtained his extent to be put in nomination as a Candidate. This , 1 not having been made public, nor any intimation of it given in Dublin. the consequence was, that on this morning, when a large party of the Drogheda Freemen, resident in Dublin, were vit. ering the town to vote for Mr. Wallace. they were met by Mr. V an . hotnrigles new friends proceeding with him to the bust ngs: Thi, misundenstandirs becoming known to Mr. W., he immedi ate l y sent a written intimation to the Sheriffs, th a t h e did not intend to offer himself; and thus two Candidates, Mr. Al. smith. the late Member, and Mr. Vanhomrigh only, are now the Candidates. CHAIRING OF MR. PLUNKETT. From the crowd in the Hall of the College on Monday, and the confusion that prevailed, our reporter could not get sufficiently ar to are what actually occurred. We have been favoured by a gen tleman, who was in a situation to ate all that passed, with the fol lowing particulars:— On Mr. Plunkett being declared duly elected, he was placed in the chair, and mounted oo the shoulders of his friends, who sue. rounded him in great numbers. Amnng these were observed several of the Fellows and Schnlars of the University. In this way he was carried through the 'Hall, while those present expressed their feel ings by cheers and hisses, so nicely blended that it would be nu possible to say which predominated. On reaching the steps of the Hall. the party opposed to Mr. Plunkett rallied all their strength, assisted by a number of persons unconnected with Alma Mater, and alto were evidently congregated there to prevent the chairing. Mr. Plunkett's friends, unprepared for this reinforcement to the !apposite party, gave way, and the oppositionista haring rucceetled in gaining the chair, forced Mr. Plunkett out of it, and tore the chair to pieces. ►n the scuffle Mr. Plunkett received • blow, but whether by accident or design our informant could not take upon himself to say. The Hon. Gentleman then went back to the Hall, from whence he returned harm The ultra pasty proceeded tri. 47 . 43 ........ 46 COURSE OF EXCHANUF: YESTERDAY Amsterdam C.F. 12 P 1 Leghorn.— Di aal sight Rotterdam..

They then threw the chair into the sink-pool, and after it the unfortunate gentlemen whom they had in their power. Having achieved this great feat, they gave three cheers, and thus terminated this creditable scene within the walls of an University." One of the most extraordinary manifestations of violent party feeling that ever disgraced a community of educated persons occur red in the city of Dublin last night. Yesterday the Attorney- General was to give another grand dinner to a large parry of those distinguished Fellows and Scholars of Trinity College, who hal interested themselves in hit return to the New Parliament. It was, of course, a matter of notoriety in the University, that this entertainment would take plaem and a faction, consisting for the most part of students who disapprove .Mr. Plunkett's political opinions, but who are not entitled to vote at elections, thought this would be a proper occasion to indulge their dislike of the Right Honourable Gentleman, nnl that to assault his guests with bludgeons as they retired from his house, and attack his residence itself, would be a becoming and gentlemanlike manner of effecting their object. Accordingly, between eleven and twelve last night, these gentlemen sallied forth, in a compact body, armed with clubs, and took up a position in front of Mr. Plunkett's noble mansion in Stephen's-green, where they soon gave proof of thell intentions, by the use of very violent and menacing language and gestures. Part of the Attorney-General's family prudently sent off to the Police-office in College-street, and Mr. Gabbett, the Bar rister, and Magistrate of the division, came instantly to the spot, attended by Mr. Goodison, and strong parties oldie horse and foot patrol. The assailants then, seeing that any attempt to carry their original views into effect must be defeated, after some idle threats and imprecations, disappeared. Mr. Plunkett's guests began to retire at twelve o'clock, and by one the whole had left the house. The police continued to patrol the Green and the neighbouring sheets all night, but noldisturb ance occurred, although it was said that the first actors in these ►cenes had been shut out of the College for the night, in conse• guence of not being within the gates at the hour appointed for closing them.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNI 17, 1846. %Ye observe in the Constituiionnel a letter from Vera Cruz, giving a very splendid description of the state of the Republican fleet, and its efficiency for undertaking an ex• pedition against Cuba. The important document which we published lately on the army, navy, and finances of Colombia, woald lead us to form very different conclusions on this subject. We make a few extracts from the French Papers—the most important of which is, undoubtedly, that which furnishes the prices of wheat in different parts of Europe and America. Barcelona and London are nearly equal in point of cheapness. France, on an average, is between a third and a half cheaper than England. Other places are cheaper, in different proportions from a half to a fourth. Lubeck is the cheapest place in Europe—by this account the same quantity of wheat which sells in London at the rate of 275. 9d. being sold in Lubeck at the rate of Gs. lid.

The successful Candidates are—Alderman THOMPSON and WAITIIMAN, Mr. WARD, and Alderman WOOD. We have before taken the liberty of adverting to the merits of Messrs. TricomPSON and WARD, and there fore we shall not increase the excitement that must neces sarily exist at this moment by referring further to them than by declaring our deliberate opinion, that two indivi duals of more extensive knowledge in commercial affitirs, or of more indefatigable industry, could not have been selected for the performance of the arduous duties of Representatives of the various interests of the City of London, than these eminent members of the mercantile body.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of 47!. from the defendant, being the amount of a debt incurred for the purchase of a certain quantity of flannel, sold by the plaintiff at the rate of Rid. per yard. and which was afterwards exposed for sale by the defendant at the tate of 60. per yard. The natural consequence of this was, that the defendant subsequently offered the plaintiff' • composition of 9s. 6d. in the pound. The having refused to accept this mode of payment, brought the present action. Mr. STEERS, o:i the part of the defendant, urged that the term of credit which was usually granted in the course of trade had not expired at the time the action was brought, that his client was omit' consequence li.ible for the amount demanded, and that his incapacity to pay the money arose from the distress which pre vailed in the commercial world. l'he LORD CIIIET Juarter. having summed up the csse, de sevibed the conduct of the defendant as a gross and impudent fraud, and charged the Jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff, which they accordingly did to the full amount, 471., with costa. WARE v. JCI)A. This wax an action brought by the p'aintiff to recover 351. the value of a horse which was hired by the defendant to make a jour ney from London to Dartford. It was stated on the part of the plaintiff, that the defendant fuel proceeded to Chatham, contrary to the agreement, and returned the hone, which was in a sound condition when he had hint, with both his knee% broken and his nose split. It was urged, on the part of the defence, that the horse hsd been woicratcly driven, at the rate of seven miles an hour, that she went down as if she was going to repose, and that she had • hab t of stumbling, and was not worth more than DM The Loao CstlEr JU STICE having summed upp the evidence, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages ; 1 0 N4l • 41 • .4 - 14 11 " - Ir I T LIG- MATHIAS z. LEY. Mathias, the plaintiiinlbisc4e:;coni-merchant retiding in Wales, some time since sent some corn to Me•ars. Ryland and Son, his corn-factors ; but they having no warehouses of their own, in which they could safely deposit the corn, transferred it to the ware houses of Messrs. Knight and Ryland ; bo:lt those houses subtle quently became bankrupts, and the corn, which was wa•ehoused in the stores of the latter firm, was mired for rent. The question was, whether corn so deposi ed could be liable to seizure. The LORD CHIEF JESTICE said the protection of trade re quired that corn warehoused, such as that in question had been, should not be liable to seizure for rer t. In expressing that opinion he was not extending the principle of protection wfich was afforded by law to goods deposited with wlnirfingers for exportation or otherwise, but apply ir;; that principle to the present case. The Jury, under dm direction of his Lordship, gave a verdict for the plaint ff. CONSISTORY COURT, Fnuur, Juyi 16. cox v. cox. Dr. STODART said this was a suit commenced by Mrs. Cox against her husband, for the restitution of conjugal rights. The Court had allotted her 3001. a year alimony, and he had paid va rious sums on account thereof. Mr. Alderman Cox now came forward with an affidavit, stating that leis income had been re duced one-third, and he therefore wished the alimony to be reduced in the same proportion. Dr. JEMNER said that Mr. Cox's income had been stated at I,OOBE per annum, which was now represented as being reduced to I,OOW. _ ,__-.. Dr. STODART signified that it war so. lle further remarked that Mn. Cox had caused heavy expenses to her husband. Dr. JEERER said it was his own dowry. The Cotter ultimately, atter a few other observations from the Learned Civilians, directed the alimony to be reduced from 3001. to 22W. per annum. THE EARL OF PORTSMOUTH V. THE COUNTESS OF PORTS- MOUTH. Dr. JENNE% submitted emotion to the Court on behalf of the Countess of Portsmouth, praying that she might have some money advanced by the Earl's Curr.mittee, to enable her to carry on the suit instituted against her. He then remarked, that great injustice would be done towanls Lady Portsmouth, unless she could have the witnesses subjected to cross-examination. The PROCTOR. on her behalf, observed, that not less than nine teen witnesses had been already named for examination in support of the suit. The Learned Judge inquired if any steps had been taken with a view of bringing the petition which was tiled in the Court of Chan cery. before the Court since the suit was last mentioned ? Dr LUSHINGTON, who appeared for Lord Portsmouth's Com. mittee, said he was not aware of any thing having been done to aid Such an end. Dr. JENNE* pressed for the cause in the Censistory Court be. in suspended until that petition was heard. Dr. Lusitimor ow contended that if such a mode were to be adopted, great injustice would be thereby done, as it might happen that some important witnesses might die. The PROCTOR observed that unless the cause were suspended, the petition would not be premed to be heord. Dr. LUSHINGTON remarked that either party might urge the petition before the Court of Chancery. bar CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON inquired when the petition was Bled ? Dr. Lusa moron said, on the idth of April last. The LLAIINED JUner then suggested that an application should be made to facilitate the hearing of the petition. Dr. LUSRIWOTOX, in conformity to the suggestion, raid ha would take care that an application should be made to the Counsel in the Courted Chancery, yids a view of obtaining a hearing with u much speed as possible.

New York Papers to the 24th ult., and Philadelphia to the 21st, were received yesterday. The following, which is from Philadelphia Paper of the 17th of May, is the only article we find in them of any interest:—" Mr. Morier. the British Coenmissiorer to Mexico, who recently landad at New York, left Mexico in March, without having succeeded in his nerciation with the W. remittent of that republic. The British Minister was very desirous that one of the Mexican Ministers should be deputed to England. in order to explain the objections to Mr. Crnning's proposals. Presi. dent Vic oria yielded w this desire, and informed the Senate of his resolution. The body replied, that they had a right to participate is the nomination, as hue Constitution says expressly, that all diplo matic envoys will be appointed with the consent of the Senate. The President disagreed, and urged that the Minister in question would be sent to continue in London, the negotiations which had commenced in Mexico: the Senate persisting, die President re luctantly submitted the nomination of the Secretary of %Var. Gomez Pedraza , for their approval. Senor Perinea had but one vote. The debate in the Senate on the subject, as reported in the Aguilu, is not without interest, and the di.tincfioe take) by the Presideot not a little singulas. This matter bears a remarkable affinity to one of the questions which have been .• lengthily" debated by our own Senate during the prevent Sessions of our Congress."

IVHAT'II GOOD FOR THE GOUT, RHEHMATIAM, AND LUMBAGO ?—A Noble Lord, who had been for years most sore', and grievously afHicted with the gout, rheumstism, and lumbago. went to Charles Wright's last Masquerade at the Argyll Rooms, in the character of the Devil. lle was, as till Devils deserve to he, hunted about from one end of the room to the other, first by a Haslrgnin• then by ■ Paul Pry, and next by a Don Glovarisr and a Plutr,terntun ; until at last he was DO completely exhausied that he was compelled to retire to one of the private boxes, abets he refreshed himself, not with one or lwo, but with no kits than three bottles, of Charley Wright's superior sparkling and elTelm illr Champagne! Although when he entered the rOOlllll he expe rienced some queer twinges of the above complaints, yet, ere he 1,3,1 tintahed one bottle, the gout had left him, at the conclusion of the second the rheumatism had made its exit, and at the end of th • third the lumbago had been served with an ejectment ; and so n,i raculmts have been the effects of this said Champagne, aided by the natural excitement attendant upon a Masquerade, that tU Noble Lord has been entirely free front all aches and pains from that period to this present writing.
