The object of this Company is to continue energetic work ings on this valuable mineral property, which were suspended in consequence of the monetary panic and altered circum stances of several of the principal shareholders of the old Devon Kapunda Company, after an expenditure of upwards of £20,000 in the erection of a plant of most superior machi nery, all necessary buildings, and the general development of the property, all of which are available to the present Com- The steam engine is of 40-inch cylinder, with 10 feet stroke. Apart from these facts, it is no evidenceof demerit that a 'ine should cea se t o be worked by the original adventurers ; and, indeed, th ere are but few that.have been commenced and carried on by the same association of shareholders to a suc •cessful and profitable issue. The Devon Great Consols, South Caradon, Phoenix, and most of the leading mines in the two ' weste rn counties o f D evon and Cornwall have yielded the returns of profit to others than those who first worked the reEpective properties. "' is property is most ad van t ageously situate on the banks tile nort amar, in the parish of S ou th S y d en h am, aboutl mile h of the celebrated Devon Great Consols Mines, which are ! I° W giving to the shareholders about £50,000 annually. It is In one of the richest and most extensive metalliferous dis to tricts the in the kingdom. T wo o f the lodes have b een wrought depth of 50 fathoms below the adit level, and will form a junction a few fathoms east of the present workings, where there is every reasonable prospect of a good deposit of ore being met with. The lode in the end of the eastern drivings on the south lode is of an extraordinary character, is a strong masterly lode, containing copper ore of superior quality, and shows evidently that the workings are nearing a very im portant deposit. There are three shafts sunk, the engine shaft that is down to the 34 fathom level below the adit, the whim Shaft 50 fathoms, and the trial shaft 20 fathoms below the edit, The property extends over an era of 130 acres, being about no fathoms in length, and about 300 fathoms in breadth. Many tons of rich silver lead ore have been raised at the tipper levels, but at the deeper levels the general character of the lode is changed from lead to copper ore. This altera tion in the character of the lode is very important, and cor responds exactly with the change in the stratification, thus affording ample proof that there can be no reasonable doubt of the success of the undertaking. Mr. J. H. Hitchins has either introduced, or recommended iby reports, most of the mines in the Tavistock district which bave proved remunerative, and the confidence of this gentle inan in the Devon Kapunda is shown by his adhesion to the enterprise. Captain Joseph Cock, the agent of the mine, reports, under date of March 23, 1859, that "The 50 fathom level, which Is in course of driving east on the south lode, appears to be changing for the better. The ground is moderately easy and favourable. The lode is about 24 feet wide, composed chiefly of spar and mundic, intermixed with rood stones of copper ore, a box of which I have for warded. Its indications and character are highly encou raging. This level has been extended on the course of the lode for many fath oms, and is now approaching an important point, that is, the junction of two lodes. According; to the present bearings of these lodes there are probably . about 12 to 5 fathoms more to drive before reaching the junction. I consider there is a fair and reasonable prospect of a good de posit of ore being met with at the junction. Throughout the drivage the lode presents a much better appearance than in the upper levels. A deeper level will no doubt lead to valuable discoveries. There are other parts of the mine of a promising character, and there is scarcely an y d ou bt b u t t h at i t will prove a profitable and lasting mine."

ABSTRACT OF PROSPECTUS. It has been for some years past a matter of notoriety that British and Irish linen manufactures, and also manufacturers hempen goods, have materially suffered from a deficient fro tupply of flax and h emp. Thi s state of deficient supply arises m the fact that the cultivation of flax in Great Britain has Materially decreased instead of increased with the growing r equirements of our linen manufactures. Our national com- Inercial statistics show that, out of 150,000 tons of flax annu ally consumed in the United Kingdom, not more. than 50,000 tons are of home growth. In addition to this enormous im portation of flax for our linen manufactures, we have also im ported hundreds of thousands of quarters of linseed every year for home consumption. The linen manufacturers of the:United Kingdom have de clared that they are ready to take any quantity which can be grown at home, and at such prices as will be more remu nerative to the agriculturist than the usual produce of his lands. The promoters of the National Flax Company are prepared to prove to the agriculturists of this country _ fl that a no more profitable crop can be cultivated than that of , whenever e their system of rettories, and improved mechanical x treatment of flax fibre, shall be adopted in the localities of its growth. The main feature of the Company's plan is, that it will take the trouble of preparing the flax for market entirely off the hands of the grower, by becoming the purchase rs o f the crop. and thus leaving the grower entirely free from the hazards of bad harvesting weather, and at the same time ensuring him a e4teik.'handsome profitable return for all the flax he can aoducc and deliver to the Company's. depots and rettories. Tffe edmpany's operations will also embrace the whole of the requisite processs of preparing the flax and similar fibrous Substances ready for the spinner. The system of preparation adopted by this Company is the Subject of a patent, the invention - of Mr. George Albemarle Cator, a gentleman who has made the cultivation of flax and its preparation for the spinner his especial study for many Years past, he having fully demonstrated the great economy of labour and the very great improvement of the quality of the flax fibre, which is the result of his improved system of flax preparation. The system will be found fully detailed in the "Explanatory Pamphlet on. Flax:Cultivation and Prepa ration," to be had free from the Secretary of the Company and its agents ; in which will also be found an exposition of the great importance of the home cultivation of flax, as in suring a regular supply of raw material to the very impor tant national manufacture of linen and hempen goods ; half stuff for papermakers ; and of the importance of the seed for linseed-oil and oileake. As an example of the Intended operations of the Company, the following is quoted from the full prospectus of the Com pany:— BY rettories will be understood establishments where the preparation of flax fibre from the raw plant for the spinner and manufacturer will be carried out through all its stages. It is estimated that two rettories, on the scale proposed as the base of operations, will require eight patent machines, and if constantly at work for, say, 309 days in the year, will produce annually 1,200 tons of flax fibre, 7,500 quarters of linseed, and 900 tons of tows ; and, allowing £5O per ton to be obtained for the flax fibre, 565. per quarter for the lin seed, and £5 per ton for the tows, there is a gross yield of £85,500. Assuming that it will take as much as 10 tons of flax straw unneeded to produce one ton of flax fibre, at a cost of £4 per ton, and £lB per ton of fibre for all expenses, the total outlay Will be £OO,OOO, leaving a balance to be divided of £15,900, or nearly 30 per cent. upon £.55,000 (the cost of the buildings, plant, and machinery, together with a sufficient working capital for two rettories), which is wholly irrespective of the dividend that may be expected from license dues from other rettories and, as the operations of the Company are ex tended, the dividends will be in proportion. The peculiar advantages of Selby, in Yorkshire, and the sur rounding. flax-growing districts, have decided the Company on establishingtheir first rettory i n th a t ne i g hb our h oo d . prospective enterprise of this Company being the culti vation of flax on the reclaimable lands, of which in the United Kingdom there are some millions of acres, it is considered the Company may beneficially went, in due course, turn its attention' to the acquire- The National Fl ax , of an available p ro p er t y i n suc h l an d s. Vation of flax in the presenta y will, by increasing the cult growing districts • tend to encou rage the population of other parts of the country' to acquire the requisite knowledge of an industrial resource, by which their local labour will become more profitable land of greater g Again, the fast-ext endin value. application of the power loom to flax fibre will greatly increase the demand for flax. All considered, the circumstances of the times combine to establish the present enterprise as the nucleus of a new branch of business, and a most valuable auxiliary to the farming and manufacturing* producers of the United King dom, and one which is well calculated to still further develop her prosperity.

The Conservative party have brought forward Major Stuart and Captain Polhill Turner, two gen tlemen residing in the immediate neighbourhood, and the representatives of names familiar in Bed ford electioneering annals, to contest the seats of the present Liberal members, Messrs. Whitbread and Barnard. Parties ore somewhat equally balanced, and a close struggle will probably result in this borough, which is famous for the intensity and bitterness of its political contests. BEDFORDSHIRE. The Liberal party have come to the determina tion again to. bring forward Lieut.-Col. Higgins as their second candidate for the county. At the last general election Mr. Hastings Russell headed the poll by a large majority, and Lieut.-Col. Higgins, who was then brought forward at the eleventh hour, was defeated by Col. Gilpin the Conservative can didate, by about 36 votes. In many previous years the representation had been divided, and the regis ter neglected. During the last two years the regis tration has been very jealously watched and great alterations introduced, and a severe contest may be anticipated. The Conservatives have not yet pitched upon a second candidate. Their choice appears to rest upon Mr. J. S. Crawley, of Stockwood, Luton, and a member of the Astell family. BIRMINGHAM. A public meeting of electors was held in the Town-hall yesterday , ,afternoon, for the pur pose of takiiig measures to the election of Messrs. Scholefield and Bright as representa tives of the borough. There was a numerous attendance. Alderman Lloyd presialed, and among the gentlemen present were Mr. ;I roseph Sturge, Mr. Chas. Sturge, Alderman Baldw in, Alderman Lawden, Alderman Hodgson, Alderman Ryland, Alderman Allday, Mr. J. S. Wright, Mr. Slaney, Mr. Jaffray, and other influential sui porters of the present members. Letters of apology for non-atten dance were read from both candid ates, but Mr. Bright announced that he should be able to meet any committee which might be appointed in the course of the afternoon. After some discussion, in which unanimity was strongly urg .ed upon the Liberal section of the constituency, :a joint com mittee of the friends of both the Ares( not members was appointed, and unbounded confidence was expressed in their success. As yet the Ire is no sign of an opposition. BRADFORD. Mr. Titus Salt, of Methley-park, having accepted an invitation to stand as a candidate for the repre sentation of Bradford in the place of Gen. Thomp son, who retires, has issued an address to the electors. Mr. Alfred Harris, banker, has been. solicited by the heads of the Conservative party in Bradford to offer himself as a candidate. He declined to stand in the first instance, but a requisition is in course of signature with the view, if possible, of inducing him to reconsider his determination. Some of the Liberals appear still to have a strong desire to bring out Mr. E. Miall, but it is asserted that he will not come forward. At any rate, the only candidates yet in the field are Mr. Wickham (the present member) and Mr. Salt, and the probabilities of a contest are not much, if at all, stronger than they were at the close of the week. CARDIFF. It is Lieut.-Colonel Stuart, the present member, and not Lord James Stuart, who offers himself for re-election for Cardiff. COLCHESTER. Mr. Miller, the sitting member in the Tory in terest, stands with Mr. Papillon, a new candidate of the same party. Mr. Rebow, the sitting mem ber in the Liberal interest, offers himself for re-election. It is understood that Mr. Win grove Cooke, who contested the borough with Lord John Manners, will be the second Liberal candidate, but that gentleman bas not yet issued his address. At the last election the Liberals had a majority of 101 on the poll. DORSET (COUNTY.) The present members have again signified their intention of putting themselves forward for the county of Dorset. Mr. H. Ker Seymer and Mr. H. G. Sturt voted against Lord John Russell's re solution, while the Hon. W. H. Portman voted in its favour, as he considered that the proposed dis franchisement of a large body of the 40s. free holders was so highly objectionable to require the marked condemnation of the House of Commons. ESSEX (NORTH.) Although but little sign of a change in this divi sion is at present apparent, we are informed that a Conservative committee are taking the representa tion of the division into consideration. The pre sent members, Mr. Beresford and Mr. Du Cane, are the only candidates ostensibly in the field, but it is understood that Colonel Ruggles Brise has not for gone his intention, expressed some months ago, to come forward at the next election. It would appear that some of the leading Conservatives are not satisfied with Mr. Beresford, partly, it is said, from that hon. gentleman having no claim to the seat as a territorial proprietor, or as possessing any influence in the county. It is rumoured that Colonel Brise is quite ready to give up his claim provided Mr. Beresford will also retire, and thus make way for other gentlemen named as unexcep tionable in point of local position. It is, however, very doubtful whether Mr. Beresford will consent to such an arrangement, as h e i s by no means un popular with a large section of the constituency. LYME REGIS. Mr. J. W. Treeby, who Oiers himself for this borough, denounces the proposed Reform Bills both of Lord J. Russell and Mr. Bright, and says that members of the most opposite opinions in the House of Commons combined to defeat the " just and im• partial measure" brought in by the Government. MARLBOROUGH. Lord Ernest Bruce and Mr. H. B. Baring have just issued a joint address, asking for re-election. It was generally understood that Lord Ernest Bruce had intended to stand for the county, but, in con sequence of pressing solicitations, Mr. Walter Long will still represent North Wilts. MANCHESTER. The working classes are getting up a requisition to Alderman Heywood, bookseller. There is a rumour that Mr. Robertson Gladstone, merchant, of Liver pool, will be brought forward by the Liberals. NORWICH. It seems now to be the general feeling that the Liberal candidates, Lord Bury and Mr. Schneider, will have a " walk over." OXFORDSHIRE. The addresses of Mr. Henley and his colleagues have not been issued, but it is said to be certain that no opposition will be offered to the return of the sitting members, Mr. Henley, Mr. Harcourt, and Colonel North. PENRYN AND FALMOUTH. The sitting members, Messrs. Baring and Gurney, have arrived, and are actively canvassing the con stituency, by whom they have been well received ; they are to be opposed by Mr. Rowel Gwyn and a Mr. John Fitzgerald Leslie Foster (who made his appearance on Saturday), upon the Conservative interest ; the former gentleman has not yet returned to the borough since his canvass a fortnight ago, and the latter has published a very lengthy address to the electors, most specious, promising, and flat tering; he is reported to be a millionaire from Australia. PETERBOROUGH. It is Mr. Jan;sifird;,Q.C. (and not, as stated, the Hon. James Wilde, son of the late Lord Truro), who is the Liberal candidate here. Mr. Wilde is supported by the friends of the late member, the Hon. George Fitzwilliam, who has retired from the representation, and no opposition is expected. PONTEFRACT. Mr. Overend, Q.C., is the Conservative candi date for this borough. Mr. Overend unsuccessfully contested the representation of Sheffield against Mr. Roebuck and Mr. Hadfield, at the general election in 1857. SALFORD. Mr. Massey offers himself for re-election. Mr. Henry Ashworth has not yet offered himself, but the requisition to him has already received 750 signatures, and he will probably be announced this y da. SOMERSET (WEST.) Mr. W. H. G. Langton has issued an address announcing that it is not his intention to solicit a SOUTH WARD, Last evening a very numerously att ended meet ing of the electors and nc an-electors of t his borough took place at the Hote 1, LondOn-brid ige, for the purpose of hearing the si tatement of Mr. Locke, one of the present members I br the borough.. Shortly after seven o'clock Mr. Lo gke, accom panied by several gentle men, entered the• room, and was greeted with enthusiastic cheering. Dr. Challice was then called to the chriir, and Mr. LOCKE, in the course of a very I engthened address, - made reference to the late meas `ure of re form brought in by the Ministry, and. o f ,the igno minious defeat it suffered. He had objet ted to that bill on the first night of its introductic m, on the ground that it disfranchised a large body of the working classes, and because he knew that it wou ld be most distasteful to the constituencies of all large boroughs. He considered, instead of the Ministry dissolving the house, it would have been much more graceful to have not only withdrawn the bill, but to have resigned their places—(cheers)---h ow long they might, however, keep them after the, return of the new Parliament he (Mr. Locke) would leave them to say. (Laughter.) Mr. PUTLEY then moved a resolution expressing satisfactiot at - the Parliamentary conduct of Mr. Locke, and pledging to use every endeavour 'to again return him. The resolution was seconded by Mr. RED GRAVE, and carried amid great applause. The friends of Mr. Apsley Pellatt also had a meeting last night, at which a resolution in his favour was agreed to. STOKE-UPON-TRENT. A numerous and influential meeting of the electors was held yesterday at Stoke-upon-Trent, when it was determined by the friends of Alder man Copeland to again put him in nomination for that borough, and a requisition to that effect was so numerously and respectably signed that little doubt exists that he will be again returned. SURREY (EAST). The two sitting members have just issued their addresses to the electors of East Surrey. Mr. Locke King says " Lord Derby's Cabinet adopted, as part of their measure of reform, one provision which I have long laboured to pass —the extension of the county franchise to £lO occupiers. But, while doing this, the Government, in effect, destroyed the benefit of my bill, by disfranchising those county elec tors whose qualifications are in boroughs. Now, anxious as I am for the extension of the county franchise, I can never accept a measure which, although by one clause it enfranchises many, yet by another disfranchises numbers, counted by tens of thousands of intelligent and independent electors." Mr. Alcock is of opinion that the proposal to disqualify 100,000 electors was neither " just nor politic," and was fatal to the bill. Had the dis qualifying clause been abandoned by the Govern ment, and had the borough franchise been lowered the Reform Bill might, with a few minor altera tions, have been carried. TIiETFORD. The sitting members for this quiet borough, the Earl of Euston and Mr. A. Baring, have issued their addresses, soliciting re-election. There is no opposition to the re-election of both hon. members. TOWER HAMLETS. Mr. Ayrton again offers himself for the Tower Hamlets. At present no mention is made of any opposition to the sitting members. • WEYMOUTH. The election for this borough is likely to be one of unexampled severity. Colonel Freestun and Mr. Campbell, the present members (who supported Lord John Russell's resolution), offer them selves for re-election. The Conservative party have brought forward Lord Grey d e Wilt on an d Slr. G. R. Brookes, the eminent shipowner of London, and both parties are vigorously canvassing the town for votes. So evenly balanced are the two great politi cal parties here that it is quite uncertain as to what the result of the contest will be. The majo rity either way will be very small, probably within 20. Col. Freestun is an old member and a towns man, and will doubtless be well supported. Mr. Campbell, whose connection with Weymouth is only recent, will also have a fair share of support, but the efforts of the Conservatives to carry the election in favour of Lord Grey de Wilton and Mr. Brookes will, from present appearances, be of the most energetic character, which will render it necessary for the Liberal party to look well to their supporters to prevent the representation being wrested from them. WILTON. Mr. E. Antrobus offers himself for re•election for this borough. He says he voted for the amendment in the hope that the Government would follow the course taken by them last year on the India Bill. Their sincerity in the cause of reform was not equal to the occasion, and they had acted regardless of the effect a dissolution might have upon negocia tions now pending abroad, or upon classes at home who had seen their just and natural expectations utterly disregarded in the measure lat e ly un d er discussion. WOLVERHAMPTON: Sir Richard Bethell yesterday issued an address to the electors. Sir Richard has at present the field to himself, nor has any opponent been spoken of. WOODSTOCK. In this small borough there is no probability of opposition to the return of the sitting member, Lord Alfred S. Churchill. WORCESTER. Yesterday Mr. Laslett ,issued his address to the electors, soliciting re-election. The committee of the Worcester Reform Association have also issued a manifesto expressing approval of the votes of the city members, and appealing to the non-electors to "throw their weight into the Liberal scale," as the battle about to be fought is to decide whether or not they are to be admitted within the pale of the constitution." WORCESTERSHIRE (EAST). Mr. Foley and Mr. Calthorpe have issued their addresses. The promised Conservative candidates have not yet been announced. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY. There is, it appears, a chance of the next House of Commons being favoured by the presence of Mr. G. H. Moore—the prophet without honour in his own land of the west. The Kilkenny County Club, after mature deliberation, have decided that the ex- M.P. for Mayo and Xi% J. Greene are to be the boys for Kilkenny, Sergeant Shee's legitimate claims to a seat being thrown overboard by this discriminating body of electors, Col. Wood, of the Militia Artillery, and formerly a major in the 15th Hussars, is up for Cork city, as a zealous supporter of the Derby Government. Col. V. L. Hatton has made a precipitate retreat retreat from the borough of Wexford. He admits he has been too late in the field—a curious confession, considering that his ad dress was published in the local papers some 48 hours after the Ministerial intention for a dissolu tion was known in Ireland. Mr. Devereux, the sitting member, has a s yet made no s i gn . Th e actual candidates are Sir Frederic Hughes and Mr. J. E. Redmond, Liberals. Sir Frederic goes for tenant right and the ballot ; Mr. Redmond's con fession of faith is somewhat cloudy. The city of Kilkenny is wooed by Mr. N. Loughnan, who thinks the Whigs bad enough, but not so bad as the Conservatives. No life or liberty would be safe in the hands of law offi eers that strike Catholics off juries, and endeavour to con stitute them of Orangemen. Under a Whig Government legislation for Ireland would be much the same, but such a Government gives a chance to Catholics by appointing Ca tholic law officers of the Crown, and giving Catholics some share in Government appointments." Mr. Chas. Kelly, a Dublin b arr i s t er o f some emi nence, is the Liberal candidate for Sligo borough. The local papers say it is uncertain whether the Right Hon. John Wynne will again seek the suf frages of the electors. He, among others, is suffer ing from impaired health. Mr. John Carden, of Barnane, a gentleman of some fame in Ireland, is said to have cast a longing eye on the representa tion of Cashel, but this, like many other specula tions in the Irish journals, is little more than guess work, and may or may not turn out true. lir. Singleton De Bathe, who dates from Belgrave square, London, has addressed the electors of Drogheda as a c h a mpi on of Conservatism. Mr. Kertland, the late sub-sheriff, is also in the field, but whether, as Whig, or Tory the public amuot PRICE 4D . STAMPEI SD. informel. The following is an extract of a letter from Galway : " A large number of persons are named as the supposed candidates, and the French party have already decorated the walls of our ould town'with his notification of being a candidate at the coming contest. Lord Dunkellin and John Orrell Lever' are also named in one of the Galway papers as being two of the roost suitable candidates for the represen tation of the, borough. Mr. Anthony ,O'Flaherty, our late representative, will also take his stand, and patiently wait for the 'tug of war.' Sir T. Rediagton is again to take the field, and it is said will make a good fight. Rumours are afloat that Mr. The& Howard, of Manchester, will take his chance, and Captain O'Hara, of Lenaboy Castle, it is said, will come in for sweepstakes." SCOTLAND. CLACKMANNAN AND KI NR 0S S COUNTIES. Lord Melgund will again come forward as a candidate for the representation of the united coun ties of Clackmannan and Kinross in Parliament. HAD DINGTONSHIRE. • Lord Elcho offers himself for re-election to the electors of this county. M.I.RYLEBONE REFORM DEMONST.RA TION. Last evening a public festival, 'given by the Libe ral electors of the borough of Marylebone, to cele brate the return of Mr. Edwin James, M.P., to Parliament, took place at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen -street, Lincoln's-inn-fields.. Mr. E. M. W a t son , a prominent member of Mr. James's committee, presided, sndayst tupportod-by.. Mr. Edviin James, M.P., the Right Hon. Sir Ben jamin Hall, M.P., Sir James Duke, M.P., Sir .John Shelley, M.P., General Sir John Scott Lillie, J.P., colonel L. S. Dickson, Captain Winkworth, Mr. Gordon Allen, Mr. Sleigh, Mr. D. E. Cameron (churchwarden of St. Pancras), Messrs. Clement George, Thomas Ross, R. Goodwin, Mortfmore Tirnpson, F. M. Hudson, J. L o ft us , J. M'Evily, Thomas Smith, John Wells, S. Taylor, W. T. Par kiss, and other well-k nown Liberal electors of the borough. The cloth having been cleared, The CHAIRMAN gave " The health of her Ma jesty," which was responded to amid great applause. " The Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family" having been duly honoured, The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Army and Navy." The independence of the country was , mainly attributable to the great power and indo mitable courage of the British army and navy, and ie was the duty of whatever Government ruled its destinies to take care to maintain the army and navy in all its efficiency. (Applause, amid which the toast was drunk.) Major-General Sir JOHN SCOTT LILLIE returned. thanks, and, in the present aspect of affairs on the Continent, called upon the Government to take care not only to preserve the efficiency of our army and navy, but to take care also of our national defences. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said, when they looked back at the late contest, they must feel delighted that the borough of Marylebone was represented by a gen tleman of the talent of Mr. Edwin. James. Their hon. member had come before the borough at a most important crisis, when • the Government had pro mised the country a Reform Bill. (Hear, hear.) Mr. James had prophesied upon the hustings that that bill would be one which would not meet the wishes of the country, and he (the chairman) be lieved they would all agree with him that their hon. member was quite correct. (Hear, hear.) If it were asked how it was that Mr. James had been elected for Marylebone . by so large a majority, that was a question that was very easily solved. It was that honourable and straightfor ward manner which characterised him that always spoke home to the hearts of Englishmen, and it was that which had spoken home to the hearts of the electors of Marylebone. (Cheers.) The electors of Marylebone could not but look upon Mr. James as the eloquent exposer of the mal-administration of the army. (Cheers.) Could they forget his glorious defence of the exile, Dr. Barnard ? (Cheers.) Mr. James had been found the eloquent defender of the oppressed. He had established the fact that • the forlorn and oppressed exile should find in exile the sanctity of a home, that they were received as •ne of our own great British family, and would ever find a defender in their own right arm. (Cheers.) After ridiculing the idea of an opposition to the hon. member who had served them faithfully for 22 years, or of the other, who had a majority of 3,000 at a recent election, the chairman concluded by proposing " The Health of Edwin James, Esq., M.P.," which was drunk with several rounds of cheering. Mr. EDWIN JAMES then rose amid loud applause. Silence having been procured, the hon. gentleman proceeded to allude to his late great triumph in Marylebone, observing that when six weeks ago, he was returned flushed with triumph, for the great and populous borough of Marylebone, he then said, that in representing so great a borough he took upon himself very heavy responsibilities. (Hear, hear.) Not only had he to represent great interests of local importance, but necessarily so great a borough carried with it mighty and great interests in Parliament. (Applause.) When elected, he prophesied to them that he would shortly have again to appear before them ; that in six weeks time he would have the honour to ask again for their support, and, almost' before a week had elapsed, that prophecy was ful filled. (Hear, hear.) How did this come about ? When on the hustings, he (Mr. James) stated that he would enter Parliament without intending a factious opposition to Lord Derby's Government, but that if a sincere and genuine Reform Bill were introduced, which he doubted would be the case (h' ear hear)—but if, as he said, a genuine and sin-' cere bill were introduced, it should receive no factious opposition from him. He went in'o Par liament 'intending to carry out the statement he made on the hustings. (Hear, hear.) The bill was introduced, and an opposition followed, but when Mr. Disraeli stated that a factious opposition took -ace, it should be borne in mind that . the first per sons who showed such opposition to the bill were their' (the Government's) own supporters. The first opposition was that of Mr. Miles, member for East Somersetshire, who was a strong Tory. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. James) found that the bill was so vicious in its principles, so utterly a sham, a delusion, and a mockery of the long sought for re form in the representation of Parliament, that, although he had resolved previously upon taking the voice of the house and their decision on its second reading, yet, when Lord John Russell's re solution was introduced, pointing out these princi pal defects in the bill, he supported that resolution ? conceiving that such a proceeding would be better understood by the majority of the people. (Ap plause.) This course was, he believed, the best that could be adopted, instead of allowing the bill to go into committee, thus occupying two or three months over a defective, and so insincere a Reform Bill. (Hear, hear, and applause.) He considered that the Ministers had taken upon themselves a serious responsibility in dissolving Parliament at the present junc ture. No doubt the Crown in its prerogative had the right to dissolve Parliament, but allow him (Mr. James) to say that the House of Commons had its prerogative as well. (Applause.) When he said that Lord Derby had taken upon himself the serious responsibility of dissolving Parliament, paralyising trade, and putting a stop to commerce, and making the people ask what was the principle of the dissolution, be was induced to call it a serious responsibility, as there was no defined principle at all. (" Hear," and applause.) Although the Crown had the right, under the advice of the Minister, to bring about a dissolution, yet some definite prin ciple was to be looked for under such circumstances. Mr. Pitt, when he dissolved Parliament in 1781, did so on the East India Bill. In 1830 the ques tion was one of reform ; and in 1841 the question was free trade; and the people always had some definite principle before them ; but; in the present instance, the Government had taken upon themselves to dissolve without any principle, unless it was that the Government had been thwarted in their intentions, as they said by an embarrassing majority. (Hear, hea (Mr. James) was not sorry that the__ hear.) dissolution had taken place, as he believed it would bring forward a strong support from the Liberal party of the country. (Applause.) There was never the history of the country so strong a Liberal party in the House of Commons , and he trusted that their opponents would not be permitted_ to taunt them with a want of unison or a want of cohesion ; and in the result of a dissolution he considered that all argued well for the Liberal party of the country. The Government had chosen to dissolve, as Sir John Scott Lillie had observed, at a time when the state of Europe was most critical--at a period when sitting as they were at the con v i v i a l t a bl e, they did not know but that war might have al ready broken out, paralysing the best interests of Europe. He did not know whether England might be drawn into the war or not, but as an individual be begged to protest against their incurring any 1 (7 , responsibility in the war. W rel.---' its --:-- 1 -41:i5 1 England could have any interveaio — ri — ail l. in the affairs of Europe, he would raise voi, on that behalf—he would ever raise his voice in thb cause of constitutional liberty in Europe in order to destroy that withering despotism which now existed in Italy. (Hear, hear.) He Would be against their o•iirg to war for that. (Hear, hear.) •He trusted at the voice of. England would always be raised, on behalf of constitutional liberty against the wither ing despotism of the Powers of Europe. (Applause.) Well, they would have a dissolution, • and he trusted that, in the ensuing election, the nation would not be apathetic on the question of Reforxtr, but that such a party would be returned as would eventually lead to a fair representation in the House of COMMons. (Hear, and renewed applause.) No one wished for a restless system of revolittion. That I was the old doctrine prescribed during the free trade agitation ; every advocate of that measure Was told that it was revolutionary—that was the old tale. There was no revolution 'intended—all that was requisite being a proper representation of the country in the share of the Government. (Ap= plause.) He trusted that the Government would be taught that they were playing a reckless and' desperate game, and that the people would let them' know that they would have a consistentreform mea sure, such as the country demanded. (Hear.) He had been but a short time their representative, a n d h e could not take much praise to himself for any thing that had been done; but he begged to say ,that during his short connection with Parliament he had received excellent advice from his hon. colleague (Sir 8.. Hall), who kindly t oo k him by the ha n d, an d ren d e red him every assist ance. (Hear, hear, and applause.) He thus had the advantage of the experience of the Advocate not only of the local interests of the borough, but of one who was sincere in the advocacy of the cause of the people. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion Mr. James sat down amid vehement applause, observing that he was resolved upon constitutionally bringing about, through his influence in Parliament. that which he trusted.would prove the greatest happi ness to thp greatest nmillmn. Mr. R. GboDwIN proposed the next toast, The health of the Right Hon. Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart.," which was also drunk amid loud and en thusiastic applause. Sir BENJAMIN HALL, on rising to respond, was received with en th us i as ti c cheering. H,e tendered his acknowledgments to the committee who had honoured him with an invitation to this festival. It showed that when the heat of conflict was over, that when party feeling had subsided, the electors had a thought towards one who had represented them for 22 years in Parliament. (Applause.) He looked upon it as a mark of gratitude and respect. (Loud sheers.) The present moment was rather an extraordinary one. He (Sir B. Hall) had read in the papers that day the address of one of the most excellent and valued reformers in the House of Commons, Mr. Thornely, the member for Wolver hampton, in which he stated that he had represented that borough for 25 years, and that he had had but one colleague. Now his (Sir B. Hall's) position was a very different one. When he became member for Marylebone, in 1837, he was told he should not retain his seat for more than one session. (Oh, oh, and laughter.) He had, however, represented the borough for 22 years. There had been 10 elections, and he had had six different colleagues, namely, Sir Samuel Whalley, Lord Teignmouth, Sir Chas. Napier, the dearest friend he ever had (Lord Dudley Stuart), his late colleague Lord Ebrington, and his present excellent colleague, Mr. Edwin James. (Cheers.) His hon. colleague had been kind enough to speak of the readiness with which he (Sir B. • Hall) had done all he could to aid and assist him since he had been elected, and he expressed his conviction that he (Sir B. Hall) would work in har mony with him. He (the right hon. baronet) was quite sure he should. (Cheers.) He knew that they agreed in politics, and as regarded their local matters he was also sure there was such identity of feeling between them, that they might defy any per sons who came forward against them. (Applause.) With reference to the dissolution of Parliament, he, as well as his hon. colleague, was prepar e d t o meet his constituents. It was impossible in a borough containing a population of 400,000 persons to please everybody, and so his hon. friend and colleague would find as he became more acquainted with Parliamentary life. (Laughter, and .hear, hear.) But the mass of the electors were most considerate, and were not prone to _cavil at trifles, and would be found ready to condemn those who raked up petty charges against ,their members. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Goodwin, who had proposed the toast, had referred to the subject of church-rates. One of the things which had embar rassed Government was the question of the aboli tion of church-rates. He (Sir B. Hall) was the offender who had so far back as 1834 brought forward a proposition which at that time was con sidered exceedingly radical, for the abolition of chureh•rates, which he believed would be carried. in 1860. He (Sir B. Hall) could point to his poli tical career without any fear of being charged with inconsistency. Therefore he had no fear of the dissolution, for which the Government must take the responsibility. When they heard of war, and that the Austrians had crossed the Ticino, it was not right that England should be without its Parliament and without its responsible Govern ment. They were told that the only way to pre vent war was to keep Lord Malmesbury at the Foreign Office. (" Oh, oh," and a laugh.) He (Sir B. Hall) could only say that he, from what he knew, could not believe in the infallibility of that noble lord. (Hear, hear.) In reference to the state of the borough he (Sir B. Hall) had been re elected seven times in the last 22 years. They had recently attended three great meetings in the borough, at which their conduct had been approved, and if there was really any one who was prepared to throw down the gauntlet, they were prepared to receive it. It was his (Sir B. Hall's) opinion that it was the duty of the Government to call Parlia ment together at the earliest possible period. If they did not bring in a good measure of reform, then some one else would, and he (Sir B. Hall) would support it. The right hon. baronet concluded ibnyg would saying b e prepared that he and to h g i o s t hon. o ioarnt Portland - place, n learned da eo, de colleague pend. upon the fidelity and confidence the ratepayers reposed in them. Mr. LOFTUS then proposed " The Health of the Mover and Seconder of Mr. Edwin James at the late Election," which was drunk enthusiastically. Sir JAMES DUKE, M.P.:responded, and said he should not be satisfied till he saw the hon. member, Mr. E. James, on the woolsack. (Cheers and laughter.) Sir. liciss also responded, and said he had already prophesied that Mr. James would be Lord Chan cellor, and he thought that before many weeks were over their heads they should see the other hon. member (Sir B. Hall) Secretary of State for the Home Department. Mr. F. M. HUDSON next proposed "The House of Commons, coupled with the name of Sir John Shelley," which was received with great cheering. Sir JOHN SHELLEY, in replying to the toast, ob served, that the change which would be effected by the dissolution would prove satisfactory to the country. (Hear.) They had been dismissed because the Government, with a minority in Parliament, had ventured to bring in a bill for a reform of the people in the representation of the House of Com mons. Her Majesty's Ministers said that the vote come to was a vote of censure upon them ; and, therefore, they called upon her Majesty to dismiss them ; but the fact was, her Majesty's Ministers were in a scrape. (Hear, and laughter.) When the Government Bill was introduced to the house the Government endeavoured to win over the Liberal members, arid they were willing to give the measure a fair trial ; but he for one, as a Liberal member, was suspicious from the first of the cloven foot, for he did not expect that the ballot, a disfranchise ment of small boroughs, and a sufficient extension that a of the franchise could be obtained from such a quarter. (Hear, and applause.) It n o w rested with hthaevepeaopßleefoofrininßiglai ornd to say whether they would not, and he be lieved majority would be returned to the House of Com mons who would tell the Government, on the first opportunity, that they would have reform, and he trusted that the measure proposed would not be such a sham as the one lately presented by Govern ment. (Applause.) Colonel DICKSON proposed " The Bar of Eng land," coupled with the name of Lord Chief Justice C a mpbell, , The h e w a l h t which h as o f w the a c ls h o C duly hairman," r r ma n responded proposedto . by Mr. EDWIN JAMES ; " The Ladies," and other toasts concluded the evening's entertainment. THE NORTHFLEET DOCKS COMPANY.—This company have received highly satisfactory assurances of support from the maritime and mercantile interests of New castle, Shields, Sunderland, and other northern ports. Several town council and commercial meetings have been held in these localities, and it appears to be a prevalent opinion in the coal neighbourhood that, by reason of the great facilities which will be afforded to colliers at the Northfleet Docks, and by the railways to be connected with them, seaborne coal may be introduced to many districts from which it has hitherto been excluded. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills Spring Changes.—ln the spring, many persons otherwise healthy, often suffer from cracked lips, rough skin, pimples and blotches. All sufferers from such causes will find their appearance and comfort both restored by the use of Hollo way's preparations, which may be used without fear, as no thing in the ointment could injure the most delicate skin, nothing in the pills could disagree with the most feeble con stitution. The ointment immediately cools and relieves the irritation • the pills purify the blood ; both act energeticall y on the cutaneous functions. They likewise set the diges tion in order, strengthen the stomach , and regulate the liver and kidneys ; thus disorder disappears from the inte rior as the disfigurements depart from the ekin,
