DAUGHTER TO MARRY. CHE CONTESTED ELECTION. After which, COOL AS A CUCUMBER. To conclude with HALLOWE'EN. Right Honourable, one of her MAJESTY'S Privy Councillors. By his bold and admirable speech of last evening, upon our National Defences, Mr. Cog- DEN vindicated his capacity to assume high place at the Privy Council board of his SOVEREIGN. One fragment alone from the speech of the member for Rochdale will be sufficient to justify this assertion. "France," observed Mr. COBDEN, " was undoubtedly a great country, with an extensive seaboard, and she was therefore entitled to maintain a large navy, but it did not follow that she should wish to have as large a navy as ours. Indeed, she ought not to have so large a navy. Nay, more than that — if he saw any disposition on her part to have as large a navy as ours, and especially if she did not yield to a fair explanation, then he should suspect some sinister design. He would tell the house candidly that if it came to a rivalry between the two countries, and if France refused to listen to explanations, he would as cheerfully vote £500,000,000 as £5,000,000 to maintain our mari time superiority." We shall not forget those words of Mr. COBDEN'S. They are worthy of him—they are worthy of a true-born Englishman. Moralists have reminded us from the days o SOLOMON " how short-lived are human pleasures," bit of all pleasures, compared with the cost, that of being a member of the British House of Com mons will now serve for a text to our monitors. " See yonder gentleman. He is a member for -, member of the first representative assembly in the world." Yes, he was yesterday ; but an election committee sat in solemn inquest on his proceedings or those of his agents ; it has made its report, and forthwith the place that once knew him knows him no more, the M.P. is struck from his name, he be comes as one of us, and well for him if the brand of bribery do not take the place of the coveted initials. It is the descent from Solferino to Villa franca. The victor of the hard-fought borough oontest retreats to his own house with the honour of that contest only, or rather with a position lowered by his previous triumph. Two Liberals figure as the first of the cashiered. Mr. BRIGHT'S brother-in-law, Mr. WM. HENRY LEATHAM, at Wakefield, and Mr. E. W. H. SCHENLEY, at Dartmouth, are the first to lose their epaulettes. Four of the thirteen who helped to displace the late Ministry now follow them, and two others followed them yesterday, into yet more private life than those whom they displaced. Not that the minority on that division may yet venture to boast. In nothing are the deserts of the two parties more equally balanced than in the matter of electoral corruption. Both sides may very likely receive ultimately the same measure of punishment from the judgments of committees, and it is notorious that the with drawn petitions are generally " arrangements " be tween the hostile parties. Nor has any device been yet discovered by which such arrangements can be prevented. If the committee, or the House itself, should no longer permit petitions to be withdrawn, who could compel reluctant petitioners to produce the evidence which would unseat the member who, by a bargain with the other party, is to be left in possession of his seat ? There is no prey ention of such well-understood withdrawals, but the one measure which would cut up, root and branch, the bribery which gave rise to the petition. We believe that these compromises generally indicate the greatest depth of corruption on both sides. The winners and the losers have so equally com mitted themselves, as we understand for in stance, to be the case at Norwich, that either could gain easily a decision against the other ; hence the suggestion, " let us save ourselves the expense and exposure, and by one member resigning, and an unopposed election, let it be one and one." In the cases yet decided it is remarkable that the petitions do not pray for the seating of the opposing candi date, though the majorities were, in both cases, very small indeed. The inference seems in evitable. ----- Both the deposed Senators are acquitted of guilty knowledge, although one furnished forty•five £2O notes to obtain a majority of seven in the petty borough of Dartmouth, and the other £l,lOO to gain one of three, in the larger, but certainly not less corrupt borough of Wakefield. Mr. LEATHAM also was so constantly in and out of the real com mittee room, when the election work was transacted, that we must assume most marvellous simplicity on his part, if he had no idea of what was being done with the large sum beyond the legal expenses which he had to pay. It must be owned, however, that parties at elections are not personally vindic tive. They want merely to win. If beaten, they are satisfied with beating their opponent in return, but there is nothing Asiatic in them. To conquer, not to torture their opponents, is their only object ; indeed they would rather not bring legal penalties on the heads of others, at whom it cost them some squeaks of conscience to throw the first stone. Hence, no doubt, the lenient measure commonly dealt to the fallen ex-member. The revelations of the committees thus far fur nish the usual amount of startling or amusing facts and inventions. At Wakefield, where very large sums were given, such as £lO, £25, £35, and much more demanded, notes of hand and bills of sale were signed by the receivers, with the understanding that they should never be enforced. What is most remarkable is that they never were, though several of the receivers voted afterwards for the opposite party. Indeed, such money seems to vanish quickly. One Mistress Jackson, for in stance, who had come down in her terms from £5O to £35 as the fee for using her eloquence in favour of Leatham, could not prevail on her husband not to vote for Charleswortn ; and when asked about the " sugar," as such money seems to be termed in the West Riding, she replied—" The sugar had melted long ago." Another lady received £25, because " then it would be impossible to say it had been given to her husband ;" but as this was only half the fair value of a vote in the husband's esti mate, he did what he thought equitable, by doing half what he was asked—he did not vote for Charlesworth, but neither did he vote at all. What became of the " sugar" in this case we are not told. _ _ _ _ At Huddersfield votes are purchased by buying pigs at a profit of £lO to the seller. At Ashburton, by paying large debts ; but then the Ashburton was a case of all others presenting the strongest temptation. The Tory candidate, according to the evidence, had purchased a vote or two, and the numbers then stood ninety to ninety. One vote would decide, but that one vote could only be forth coming by the payment of a debt of altogether £134. The sheriffs' myrmidons were watching the polling booth till within a few minutes of four o'clock, and still the voter dared not appear—in deed, had he done so, he could not have voted. This, of course, was too strong a trial for electoral virtue. The debt was paid, and the debt-free elector proved himself a free and independent elector, not by voting on the side for, which he had always voted before, but, as became him, on the side of gratitude to Benefactors. We refrain from comments just now. It is obvious, however, that Mr. BED,KELEY will not want illustrations next session from the records of the House itself. The worst is that impressions are evanescent, and that he may find all forgotten after the shooting season, and the roast beef and plum-pudding of Christmas. The aggregate of the information obtained through the operation of the Income-tax possesses a peculiar interest if only as the result of an agonizing guage of the wealth scattered over the United Kingdom. It appears from the return or dered upon the motion of Lord MONTEAGLE of Brandon, a return recently placed in obedience to that order upon the table of the Upper House of Parliament, that the grand total amount of pro perty assessed under all the five schedules of the Income-tax reaches the enormous sum of £327,146,845. Of this extraordinary aggregate, Ireland claims £22,863,099 as her assessment, and Scotland £29,558,899 as hers—England and Wales carrying off the lions share to the marvellous tune of £274,724,847. Upon a further analysis of these remarkable statistics, it appears that the last men tioned sum total, namely, the aggregate amount of the English and Welsh assessment is unequally apportioned thus : under schedule A, £109,978,265 —under sehedule B, £42,777,237—under sche dule C, £2B,oB3,ol7—under schedule D, L 77,503,022 and under schedule E, £16,383,306. The assess- ment under these five sections, namely, that under Schedule A in Englacd and Wales, being again thus subdivided—£42,6B4,s77 in land, £47,438,766 in messuages, £209,960 in tithes, £203,479 in manors, £366,801 in quarries £3,485,150 ii mines, £1,249,531 in ironworks, £17,959 in fisheries, £802,765 incanals, £10,450,401 in railroads, and £844,060 in gas-works—the re maining £1,378,653 being miscellaneous. The wealth of the United Kingdom is thus weighed in the balance. From the reliable figures brought together opportunely enough in this singular Par liamentary return, we may appreciate at a glance the money value alone of what it is we have to defend against the risk of spoliation. Through the few leaves of this " return" we may understand at once how far it is worth while multiplying our defences, whether by land or by sea. It is, of •ourse, the very lowest plea that could be adduced —a simply material reason for reorganising our de fensive armaments. Yet it is a plea nevertheless, and one in its way sufficiently forcible, and instantly and universally comprehensible. We have besides our wealth, our sacred, political, social and reli gious liberties to guard from subjugation we have to shield our hearths and families, the Crown and the Constitution. But remembering, apart from these paramount considerations, that in reorganising the extent and character of our military and maritime armaments we have to do battle first of all with those very stubborn obstructives the political economists—it is fortunate that we can bring to bear against the shallow arguments of thrift, in our apparently warlike but in reality pacific expenditure the irresistible counter-argu ments derivable from these returns in regard of the Income-tax revelations. The mere money value of the property alone to be defended from the pillage of the invader, makes in the United Kingdom, as we have seen, that stupendous total of more than £327,000,000 sterling. The assessment in England and Wales alone —an assessment made, as already observed, upon property very nearly amounting to a grand total of £275,000,000 —yielding a net amount of income tax, for the year last passed, the year ending on the sth of April, 1858, under all the five schedules, of £6,682,999. The amount under the first schedule being £2,965,528 ; under the second, £383,595 ; under the third, £819,088 ; under the fourth, 72,064,4443 and under the fifth, or schedule E, £450,344. It requires but a momentary glance at this timely Parliamentary return to convince us how fully it is worth while, under• the most sordid pecuniary point of view, to reorganise, as proposed, our defensive armaments. THE SOUTH-WESTERN DIVIDEND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—l am desired to intimate that the directors of this company have resolved to recommend to the proprietors, at the general meeting on the 4th of August next, that the dividend for the half-year ending 30th June, 1859, be at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum on the capital of the com pany.—l am, &c., L.

The vessels are to start from the Royal Yacht Squadron Castle, thence round the Warner Light-vessel, thence to the northward of the Calshot Light-vessel, passing to the northward of the Brambles, thence round a mark vessel moored off Egypt House, thence to pass between the station vessel and the Castle. Twice round. There is a very large fleet of yachts in the Roadstead — quite a forest of mast, bearing the flags of almost every yacht club in the United Kingdom ; a very pretty sight by day, but still more pleasing by night, when they fiave their lights at the mast heads. The Queen drove through the High-street of 'West Cowes and by the parade and esplanade, to Egypt, on Tuesday. The Prince Consort rode through on horseback on Wed nesday. His Royal Highness Prince Alfred dines with the offi cers on board the Victoria and Albert, this day (Saturday). He paid a visit to the Duke of Mecklenburg. at Aris's Hotel, on Friday. We hear that her Majesty will remain at Os borne until the 27th of August, the Duchess of Kent, pro longing her visit for some time after the Queen's de parture. A deputation of the supporters of the Measure ment of Gas Bill, now before parliament, had an interview with Sir G. C. Lewis on Thursday, at the Home-office. The deputation consisted of Lord Henley, M.P., Lord Ashley, M.P., Mr. H. B. Sheridan, M.P., Mr. Garneat, M.P., Mr. Bristow, M.P., Mr. Foster, Mr. Firman, Mr. Collinson, Mr. Donald, Mr. C. H. Minchin , Mr. J. T. Stanesby, Mr. Octavius Symonds, Mr. Marriott (parlia mentary agent to the bill), Mr. Mansell, Mr. Chaplin, and Mr. John Lilwall (secretary to the committee). A deputation on the subject of ratino. Govern ment property had an interview with Sir G. C. Lewis yes terday at the Home-office. The deputation consisted of Mr. H. Ford (Mayor), Mr. Howard (Town Clerk), Mr. C. B. Hellard, and Mr. Alderman Styant, accompanied by Sir Francis Baring, M.P., and Sir James Elphinstone, M.P., from Portsmouth; Mr. Woolcombo (Town Clerk), and the Right Hon. James Wilson, M.P., from Devonport ; Mr. Thomas Henry Field, from Alverstoke ; Mr. Ruegg and Mr. J. R. Jolly, from Woolwich ; Mr. Buchanan and Sir Frederick Smith, M.P., from Chatham ; and Mr. Yonge (Vestry Clerk), from St. Mary-le-Strand. At a meeting of the Mariquita and New Grenada Mining Company a dividend of ls. 6d. per share was agreed to. The yield at the Santa Ana establishment continues satisfactory, the amount of silver obtained in 1859 being 160,036 oz., against 158,519 in 1858. A confident impression is entertained that the differences which have so long prevailed between the Lon don and Brighton and the London and South-Western Railway Companies are about to be amicably adjusted. The Trieste Gazette announces that General Ur ban, commander of Verona, who, the English public will remember, distinguished himself by his atrocities during the Austrian invasion of Piedmont, has been placed on the retired list, and has been succeeded by General Baron Wernhardt. A Paris correspondent of the lndependance Beige, writing on the 27th, says :—" You may rest assured that all which has been announced in relation to interviews of sove reigns—the arrival at Paris of Alexandet 11. and Francis Joseph, the Journey to London or to Vienna of Napoleon 111., & - c., is devoid of all foundation and of all probability." The correspondent of the Nord says that Prince Napoleon is at present engaged in selecting the persons who are to accompany him to Vienna for the purpose of bringing to France the remains of the Duke of lteichstadt. the son of the first Napoleon. The arrival of the body in France will be accompanied by a magnificent funeral ceremony. Commence at 7. NEW THEATRE - ROYAL, AD ELPHI. Sole Proprietor and Manager, Mr. Benj. Webster.

Symptoms of the " early closing movement" begin to develope themselves already. Last night two of the great guns of this nondescript session have been fired off the lists for competitive honours ! The precious London Corporation Re form ? Bill ! has met the fate of its more virtuous predecessors by being quietly withdrawn. Then the total Abolition of Church Rates Bill is put off for three months. Nobody is inclined to quarrel with that—no, not even Mr. NEWDEGATE ! But the total, aye, and , uneompensated abolition of that odious impost will be carried in the fulness of time, and the Church battlements become stronger than ever, because they will not depend on any adventitious aid, nor draw their support from spoliation of property, nor be deemed repugnant to conscience, and. cease to be a byeword and a scandal. It now turns out that the tub thrown to the whale in the Moniteur of Thursday morning was just what we expected. There is to be a seeming reduction in the French Navy by paying off the the ships now in Commission on their return from foreign stations, such as China, the West Indies, &c. Why such a reduction would have taken place in the ordinary course of business, just as we pay off our ships after having been abroad for four or five years. But to call that re duction is to throw dust in the nation's eyes, and trifle with their credulity ! It would appear from the correspondent of the Morning Post—not a bad judge of the secret doings in France, that the French people are not only delighted at th• gigantic progress making in the French arsenals, but they are actually proud of it ! Well, be it so. Every one thinks his own toy the best, and why should we begrudge to our neighbours the pleasure of taking a natural and even a national delight in the splendid toys they are willing (?) to pay for ? No: let the French dream on, and indulge in " The rupture of the victory 1" which is yet to come off at the expense of " The flag that braved a thousand years The battle and the breeze 1" NAPOLEON may build as many ships as he pleases, and case them with iron to his heart's content, but let him bear one thing in mind—he cannot build the true hearts of oak which alone give vitality and vigour to the Naval arm of Old England. The discussion last evening in the House o Commons upon Mr. HORSMAN'S patriotic and well timed motion will be pleasant reading, we warrant, to every loyal Englishman in the land. Not one of the eminent men who spoke last night in the course of that discussion but inferred, directly or indirectly, by his every syllable the neces sity upon which we are all rapidly becoming perfectly well agreed—the great and paramount necessity of perfecting as far as in us lies, and as speedily as may be, no matter at what cost, our de fensive armaments. It matters comparatively no thing in itself that the resolution of the right hon. gentleman the member for Stroud was eventually negatived by a clear majority of 87, in a house of 237 —7O voting for, and as many as 167 against that reso lution. Mr. HORSALAN's intention was gained, though his resolution was lost—the motion served its purpose to the full by being the peg upon which was hung yesterday's important, and, as we cannot but re gard it, eminently satisfactory and peculiarly inspiriting discussion. Conspicuous among those who spoke ,last evening directly to the point was Sir JO HN PAKINGTON, the re organiser of the Royal Navy of England ! The right hon. baronet insisted with peculiar force upon the absurdity of contenting ourselves with o relying upon the integrity of any alli ance or upon t h e good. faith and magnanimityof any foreign Sovereign. He c oncurred, moreover, cordially in that portion of the resolution before the house which reprehended the practice of spending money upon our work g of defence by driblets, instead o f undertaking those works as they ought i n reason to be undertaken, upon a grand scale— upon a sea le commensurate with the very grandeur of the et mpire to be conserved, upon plans Combining within them the three chief re quisites —• /aridity, munificence, and eompre hensiveness i Perhaps the most remarkable speech delivered •yesterday, however, throughout the whole o! this di;.3cussion was the one with which Mr. COBDEI inaugurated his return to the House of Commons, i after two years absence, as the hon. mem ber for Rod tdale—it might have been, as we all know, (had he so 1 pleased) as a Minister of the Crown, the ' . . - :.".'2J. -- .•• • - , 1 ,,--, , ~,...• 4.1,, ' . - - , - . l#' , • . ...., #' • t s rlii :., , ,,vg ,- ..,—.1 , 40..-4tri k —,,, , , •.,„-,..,,,;, ... 5 . . 0 _ .4,!„;,,.:,...„. . s .- ~,,.-... ..„:...„,.....,. ~, , ..,. ,_........r10 p ii \,.• , .T.--;e: .., „A , ~..

The Bank of England return completed to the 27th July exhibits very few changes of importance. The bullion, however, has been diminished by about a quarter of a million sterling, owing to the remittances to the Continent, and the limited sup plies from Australia. In the Reserve of Notes, there is a small falling off, and the Other Securi ties, owing to the increased demand for money, show an augmentation, There is also a small in crease in the Public Deposits, and a decrease in the Private Balances, while the Active Circulation shows a contraction of about a quarter of a million sterling. The various items, and the changes they present, will be seen in the subjoined table : Active Circulation .. £21,841,015 Decrease .. .. 223,825 17,462,600 Decrease . • .. 236,927 Rest ~ .. .. 3,3`20 , 208 Increase ..

In consequence of the large supplies available, the terms continue moderate, and the inquiry, although it has lately increased, has failed to impart much activity to the market. At the Bank of England the applications are very moderate. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon the rates on Amsterdam and Hamburg were rather higher. At the Bank of England yesterday there were no bullion operations of importance. Nearly the whole of the £218,000 by the City of Baltimore has been taken for the continent. To-day a call of £3 per share, or £48,312, becomes due on the Lancaster and Preston Junction Rail way shares. Accounts from Liverpool report that the cotton market yesterday closed steadily, and prices were without material alteration. A heavy tone has pervaded the market for Eng lish Securities to-day, the few transactions re corded showing a slight preponderance of sales. Consols have, therefore, receded to 942 -I- for money, and to 941 n for account. The Indian Loan still exercises an unfavourable influence. Bank Stock is firm at 223 ; the New Threes and the Reduced are 95 to 951 ; the 5 per Cent. Annui ties are flat, at 110 ; and Exchequer Bills, at 28s. prem. India Loan Debentures, 1859, have ad vanced to 91 1; and the Scrip is firm, at 941. The transactions in Foreign Securities have been of a very restricted character, but prices, in some instances, are rather firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 80 to 52 ; ditto New, 69 to 71 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents. have advanced to 44 45 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents. are steady at 891 to 90 ; Spanish, at 44 and the Deferred at 321 ; Belgian 41 per Cents. are flat at 971 The transactions in the Railway Share Market, to-day, have been exceedingly limited, and in most instances prices have shown a further downward tendency.

SHOCKING MURDER ON LORD DERBY'S ESTATES IN TILE COUNTY LIMERICK. DUBLIN., FRIDAY.— Yesterday, about two o'clock p.m., a respectable farmer named William Crow, of Cooga, county Limerick, was brutally murdered while going to a fune ral. The unfortunate man was first shot through the body, and afterwards his brains were beaten out with stones. He was a tenant of Lord Derby's, and voted for the Conservative candidate at the last election. The murderer has not been appre hended. Another account of this barbarous outrage runs thus : "I am sorry to inform you that another fearful murder was committed yesterday. The victim was a most respectable farmer, of the name of William Crow, of Cooga, a tenant of Lord Derby's. He was coming from his home to attend the funeral of Thady Ryan, who had lived at Doone, and about three or four hundred yards from the police-barrack at Doone the unfortunate man was fired at, and afterwards his skull was fearfully mangled by sharp stones. All this took place about two o'clock in the day, and all the people profess the greatest ignorance of the matter. There is a great suspicion that some of the fellows who so lately murdered poor Edmund Murphy were also concerned in this murder. That such disgraceful occurrences should take place is not to be wondered at. Murphy's murder took place on the 28th of last month, and as yet the Government have offered no reward for the apprehension of his murderers, although it is well known that there were five con cerned in it."

MIN Es.—The Mining Share Market has shown more activity during the whole week, and the demand for divide n d mi nes h as b een grea t, and well sustained. This is scarcely to be wondered at, when it is considered that just a month ago th e s t a ndard for copper ore was £ l2O 125 . , at a produce of 6il, and that last week it had rise n to £l3-1 Os. , produce 6 and this week a further ad vance has t aken place. This ri se i n c opper has materially assisted the divi dend and other producing mines, and a reference to the quo tations at the end of June, and to those given below, will also show that a considerable rise has taken place in the market able value of most of them. Good progressive mi nes are commanding- more attention, and this will probably be even more noticeable as dividend stocks reach a certain standard, beyond which investors do not cars to purchase for investments. Speculative shares for the time are rather neglected, but there are many in the market worth attention.—Nininy Journal of this day. SHARE _I Share rIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways.
