tion. He went in,' as our colonial phrase is, for the Liberal interest, and was returned,- and cer tainly in that august assembly he did no discredit to the choice of his constituents. On presenting himself as a candidate he retired from the stage ; and from July to March he abstained from its temp tations—great as they must be to a popular and much applauded actor. But in March last he was tempted to reappear on the Ballarat boards for, I think, six nights, for the benefit of their local charities—the hospitals, benevolent asylums, &c. He played to crowded houses, and the result was that very handsome sums were handed to the in stitutions in question. Upon this Coppin was attacked by the starched and straightlaced portion of the press. If he had been a tragic actor,' said one, 'it would not have been objectionable—but Jem Bags ! faugh ! we shall never see him in coun cil again without calling for Hot Codlings." But Coppin, on taking his farewell at Ballarat, made an excellent and sensible address in reply, and has since declared that he will contribute to the benevolent institutions of the colony every year in the same Way._ ' Now, this little colonial episode should not be altogether judged by a mother country standard ; and yet I am not quite sure that something of the same nature might not be, at least, tolerated in your still aristocratic House of Commons. Macready, for Instance, is a gentleman—a man of good education and of unexceptionable character. If he, on his retirement from the stage, had got elected a mem ber of Parliament, would English fastidiousness have said nay ? I think not. Nor do I think his position would have been impaired by a subsequent appearance' for some charitable object. At all events, our Upper House is not composed of aristo cratic elements. It consists of men many of whom have raised themselves to opulence from very humble beginnings. The clever actor is superior to many and behind none in creditable antecedents, and I am very certain that public opinion will support him in his determination of putting annu ally a few hundred pounds to the credit of our benevolent institutions." THE BOMBAY MAIL. By the arrival of the Bombay mail we haye re ceived files of Bombay papers to the 12th May. We take the following summary of news from the Bombay Times of that date : " There is but one thing talked of in India to-day, and that is the state of our money-market. It would be disingenuous not to acknowledge the disposition shown in Calcutta to meet the views of the mercan tile and moneyed classes, as far as the Council is able to get light upon their wishes. -The deference shown to their representations in matters of detail is almost obsequious and undignified. Thus, a noti fication concerning the issue of Treasury bills to bear interest at the rate of 21 pice a day, just pub lished, will be found to provide two forms of note, either of which the Government states its willing ness to issue, at the option of the purchaser. The difference between the two forms consists in the fact that the holder of form No. 2 can at any time, by giving three months' notice to the Government, compel it to redeem the note ; whereas form No. 1 Is irredeemable absolutely for one year. The bills are to be issued in sums of 200 r., 500 r., 1,000 r., 5 ,000 r., and 10,000 r., and the interest is equivalent to 41- per cent. per annum. The second form will, We imagine, be preferred, as having all the advan tages of the first, with the important additional re commendation that it can be discounted at any time. "Meanwhile the panic in Bombay is at its height, While no surer evidence could be afforded of the healthful character of our trade in general than that the mercantile classes are able to escape the widest disaster. To say that discount is ruling 24 per cent. In the bazaar is not to describe the state of matters correctly, for money, in any quantity, is obtainable ,upon no terms whatever. The mint is gorged with Million, and the private banks have their last im- Portations upon their hands, the bazaar being lite rally unable to purchase the silver at any price. It Would be well if the gentlemen to whom we owe this state of matters could be taken round to each of the bank parlours in the place, that they might listen to some of the complimentary things said about them. It would not be easy to estimate the extent of disaster which the financial blundering of the last few months has entailed upon all classes ; While the present remittances of silver from home ~ ,to relieve the Indian treasury have made con zusion worse confounded, and induced the severest lane Bombay perhaps has ever experienced. Trade 12 at a stand, from the spasm which has seized the rreney ; and there seems nothing left for the Place but to fall back upon a system of barter, and Weigh out silver by the shekel. The mint certifi cates are issued at 50 days' date, but the tenderer of b ullion has to wait a fortnight or three weeks before t he certificate is granted, on the ground or the pre epee that the mint authorities are unable to weigh It earlier. It is useless to sell to the bazaar, for the satire buyer is unable to redeem his purchase. The S tream has dried up and disappeared, and the cur -I.,,eney is nowhere. The losses entailed upon holders 7. 1 securities or goods in these circumstances are per cetly crushing, and the extent to which prices have b een affected may be estimated from the fact that c otton has fallen 15 rupees a candy within the last , o days without finding buyers, while securities a re unsaleable at any price. The paroxysm may subside in a few days, but there can be no effectual l'Plief while the Home Government is remitting silv er to this country. The operation makes ex change business so hazardous that the banks could °lily buy upon a large margin, even had they funds at command; while the bullion importations are so f ar in excess of the coining power of the mints that CeY only embarrass us with riches we are unable use. There are two alternatives, to one of which, were t he Government wise, it would at once resort—viz., e ither to declare the English sovereign a legal ten e7l', and relieve the Bank of England from the Plethora of gold which afflicts it, or to declare the t li Ptes of the Indian banks such tender, and autho rise their discounting the mint certifi ca t es , by an . ;slie of paper to the extent required. A su;pen of cash payments at the banks wo u ld b e o f e e ry trifling moment, pending the conversion of the Either measure would be a l eg i t i mate tii ld natural remedy for the present state of matters,. S lid, with all deference to Lord Stanley, there is ;et an argument made use of against a gold cur irley for India that is worth two minutes' atten °ll- If report speaks truly, the Bank of Bombay t he had s om e hand in inducing the present state of e Market, by having most unwisely, and unwar ' ,gai ltably, at such a juncture, invested 50 lakhs of I l f ,PCes in the New Five-and-a-Half per Cent.

SHARE CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The accounts from the various manufacturing districts are of a more satisfactory character. During the past week increased animation has been apparent. At :Manchester the demand for goods suitable to the India markets has been active and improved rates have been current. At Leeds a fair amount of business has been transacted for the time of year, the demand for light goods for the summer being now nearly over, Army and Navy cloths have been in good demand, and prices altogether are well sustained. At Bradford the inquiries for yarns and piece goods have been very inactive ; there has been a total suspension of the demand for the continent, and most of the manufacturers are now working short time. The hosiery trade at Leicester continues in a very satisfactory state ; the operatives in most in • stances are well employed, and the manufacturers are getting a remunerative price for their goods. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, busi• ness has exhibited symptoms of improvement, and most branches of the iron trade continue moderately active. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with a rather dull appearance, and 7,000 bales were sold, at previous rates. In Railway Shares a fair amount of business was transacted, and prices were firm. Ample provision appears to have been made for the commercial bills which arrived at maturity on Saturday, the 4th of the month. They were met in a satisfactory manner, and as they represented a comparatively small aggregate amount, owing to the curtailment of trade, their effect upon the discount market was unimportant. The condition of the market remains unchanged, the supply of capital being abundant and the demand exceedingly quiet. The grain trade is flat to-day, but, compared with Monday last, very little change has taken place in prices. Upwards of 13,000 sacks of foreign flour arrived last week. The Stock Exchange Market has presented a favourable appearance to-day. In Consols the rise at one time amounted to 1 per cent., and several transactions are recorded at the improved quotation. Since then, however, some sales have been effected, which have led to a slight reaction, although the market is still rather buoyant. Consols for money and the July account have been 931 2, but they are now 931 Bank Stock is flat at 219 to 220. The New Threes are steady at 92i, and the Reduced at 921. India Loan Debentures are firm at 941 ; and the Bonds at 9s. to Bs. dis. Exchequer Bills at 225. prem. A remittance of £3,000 has been received by the Port Philip Company. Their advices are very favourable. Foreign Securities, in which a larger business has been transacted, have also improved. Turkish 6 per Cents. advanced to 69 70, and the New to 58 59; the latest quotations are 67 69, and 57 59, respectively. The 4 per Cent. guaranteed were 1011 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. are 401 41 ; ditto De ferred 281 ; Russian 42 per Cents. 931 ; 1; Sar dinian 77 to 771 ; and Portuguese 421. Mexican Stock is 171, and Buenos Ayres 76.

SPECIAL AUSTRIAN MISSION TO ENGLAND.— The following message was published in a postscript to the Spectator on Saturday ;—" Paris, Friday, June 3.—Prince Esterhazy leaves Vienna for London on an extraordinary mission.' By the Emperor Napoleon's directions strict orders have been sent to the Director-General of the Post-office, to the effect that all letters written by the Austrian officers who have been made prisoners shall be the object of espe cial attention. A letter from St. Petersburg states that the Russian Government is about to adopt an important mea sure which will be of great utility to the working classes — a liberal reform in the administration of the rural and urban 1 police, in the organi sa ti on o f the inferior tribunals, and in the relations between the judicial and administrative autho rities.

Roberti, one of his Majesty's spoken of for the Ministry of Justice. The choic e • is of such persons would not be very satisfactory, they are to exclude valuable men like Pilangierl* and Ischitella. But, after all, what is said is only i a rumour, and we must wait for facts. The late King confided a copy of his will to M. Martini, Ambassador of Austria, and it is asserted that the ambassador is his Majesty's testamentary executor. This last fact, which I mention under reserve, has produced a painful impression here ; as it seems strange that the King did not charge one of his subjects with the confidential mission, What appears to confirm the belief that M. Martini is executor is that he and the attaches of his legation are constantly at the palace of Chiatamonte. The new King and his young Queen have taken their first carriage drive in the environs of Chiatamonte ; they were aceompanied by the Queen Mother and Count de Trani.

THIS DAPS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Satifrday were but moderately supplied with wheat. For all 'kinds, however, the demand ruled heavy and prices had a drooping ten dency. Barley realised previous rates, bu t the transactions in it were limited. Oats and all other .zpring corn met a dull inquiry. 'Throughout the continent wheat and flour have sold slowly on easier terms. Spring corn has supported previous rates In America produce general,ly has beenquoted at drooping prices. q Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were limited. From abroad the supplies were liberal, viz., 21,634 quarters of wheat, 4,163 of barley, 19,863 oats, 41 45 peas, 1,190 linseed, 3,385 rapeseed, 10 sundry seeds, 13,260 sacks, and 711 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat received fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was very moderate. Although the show of samples was comparatively small, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled very inactive, In prices, however, compared with Mon day last, no quotable change took place. The general quality of the samples was tolerably good. There was rather a large supply of foreign wheat on offer. Fine dry samples of both red and white were held at very full prices, but the demand for them was by no means ac tive. Low and damp parcels moved off heavily, on former terms. The demand for floating cargoes was heavy. Barley, the supply of which was limited, changed hands slowly but prices were s u pp or t e d . We have to report a dull sale for malt, on former terms. Good sound oats were in fair request at full prices. Low and damp qualities were dull, but not cheaper. Beans were very scarce an d quite as dear as last week. - In peas very little was passing on former terms. The flour trade was in a sluggish state, but no change took place in value.

Sales progressed steadily, and prices had an upward tendency. From our own ,razing districts the arrivals of beasts were moderate, compared with last week ; but their general quality was tolerably good. For most breeds the demand ruled steady, but by no means active, and in some instances prices were a shade higher than last week—the primest Scots and crosses having sold at 4s 8d per 81bs. The arrivals from Norfolk, Snffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to 2,150 Scots, shorthorns, and cros ses ; from other parts of England 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland 170 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 90 oxen, &c. There was a material falling off in the supply of sheep when compared with Monday last. All breeds were in steady request, at an improvement in the quotations of 2d per gibs. The best old Downs sold at 5s 2d per 81bs. We had an improved demand for lambs, at 2d per 81bs above last week's currency. Calves--the supply of which was rather limited—were in steady request at 2d per 81bs more money. There was very little business doing in pigs, at late rates. Per 81bs. to sink the offal. s. d, s. d.

The imports have amounted to 200 tons from Dunkirk, 50 tons from Calais, and 5 tons from Antwerp. The demand is very inactive, at about the fol lowing quotations : York Regents, 90s to 130 s; do.

During their progress 62,330 bales were disposed of, at a decline in the quotations of from lid to 3d per lb. Theft) has been only a limited business doing in the private contract market, yet holders generally have been somewhat firmer in their demands. No wool arrived in London last week. SEEDS. Linseed continues a very slow inquiry, at barely last week's prices. Rapeseed is dull at further reduced rates. Canary meets a moderate sale at full prices; but in other seeds next to nothing is doing.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. (Tnis DAY). Their Lordship , assembled this day at two o'clock. their The Iji a swear irninen ing t.in of peers o ccup i ed their lordships till a HOUSE OF COMITONS.—(Tins DAY.) The SPEAKEE took the chair at half -past one o'clock. Amoi,g.t the raewbers pre.,enting, tht zoselres to take the oath was Alderman Salomon, one of the members for Greenwich. The usual oath was tendered to the hon. member, which ho refused to subscribe to. Lord J. RUSSELL said, that as the hon. member for Greenwich was unable to subscribe to the oath from con scientious motives, and was, therefore, incapacitated from taking his seat, be should move that the last words of the oath, viz., " on the true faith of a Christian" be, therefore, omitted. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY seconded the motion. Mr. NEWDEGATE entered his protest against such a proceeding. He felt bound to oppose the motion. The hon. gentleman then restated his old opinions with respect to the subject. At the conclusion of his remarks, it being thought that he intended to press for a division, The SPEAKER directed those members who had not been sworn to withdraw. This was accordingly done, but after a few observations rozu Lord John Russell, the motion was agreed to without a division. Alderman Salomons, Baron Lionel. Rothschild, and Baron Meyer Rothschild then advanced to the table and were sworn, the last sentence of the oath being omitted by the clerk. The swearing in of members continued up to the rising of the house. • LAW INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) THE BANK OF LONDON V. TYRREL, &C. The Solicitor -General was heard for the plaintiffs in this cause. The plaintiffs filed their bill for restoration of the surplus profits received by the defendants on the sale of the Old Hall of Commerce, Threr.idneedle-street, to the director of the London Banking Company, in respect of a breach of professional and fidue:lary duty as solicitors of the bank, in concealing and not, revealing the fact that they were joint owners of the 7;firoperty sold to the bank, whereby a higher price was ok,tained by them from the bank than they would have pa;:d for the propertysold to them if this fact had been know n. Mr. Selwyn, Q. C., followed on the same side. The case is not concluded, SHERIFFS' COURT.. LOAN SOCIETIES AND THE POOR.--..WALRER AND OTHERS V. BRIAN, This was a summons to recover the balance*of a sum of money advanced as a loan upon a promissory note pro duced. The promissory note was for a 10s., to be paid in 14 days. His Honour—How much did you advance upon this note ? His Honour—So you charge 10s. for £5 for 14 days. Did you ask any inquiry fee ? Plaintiff--28. 6d. But we allow the note to be paid by instalments. We tell the people so. His Honour—You put in a written contract which is binding, and then mention a verbal one which is not. You very well know that you can sue on the 15th day, and that after charging 300 per cent. However, here is the note, and in all cases of this kind I shall make an order to pay in 10 days. Mr. Wood (for defendant)—Will your Honour allow the claim to be paid by short instalments ? His Honour—No ; these things are crying evils ; the poor are robbed by them to an alarming extent, and it is time they were stopped. I will do all I can towards doing so, and the people signing these notes must pay at once. Order accordingly. ACCOUNTANT IN BANKRUPTCY.-JOHNSON V. ROGERS. This was an application for a new trial by defendant, against whom judgment had passed in default of his ap pearance on the last occasion. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, and opposed the application. The sum for which the plaintiff had obtained judgment was one charged for making out defendant's balance-sheet for the Bankruptcy Court, and plaintiff, who is an accountant, had not been paid one penny. The defendant said that plaintiff agreed to make out the balance-sheet for the sum allowed by the Court, £l2, and plaintiff should have obtained that sum from the assignees. Mr. Buchanan said that defendant had received out of the estate in bankruptcy £26, and should have paid plaintiff. His Honour said he would grant a nsw trial, if defendant would pay £l2 into court, and the costs of the day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SHOPLIFTING AT SWAN AND EDGAR'S.—Mary Morella, a respectable-looking woman, was. placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing, at 10, Piccadilly, 76 yards of silk, of the value of £l5 145., the property of Wm. Edgar and others. Frederick Gore Beaton, assistant to the prosecutors, the well-known silk mercers of 10, Piccadilly, said that on Saturday afternoon the prisoner came into the shop and purchased 141 yards of silk and some lining, which came to 13 7s. 71d., which she requested to be sent to 16, Argyll place. He (witness) was spoken to by a person which in duced him to go outside, and he then noticed the prisoner hitching up her dress outside. He returned to the shop and asked her to step inside, and she did so. Mr. Robert Hope, one of the partners in the firm, said he saw the prisoner return to the shop, he standing close to her at the time, when he saw the silk produced drop from under her clothes. It was 76 yards in length, and of the value of £l5. He asked her to go into a private room and she did so, but seemed all the while very anxious to get away. Edward Warren, police constable 66 C, said he took the prisoner into custody and received the silk produced at the time. The prisoner was remanded, there being strong reason to believe that she is a practised shoplifter. THAMES. DARING STREET ROBBERY.—William Phillips, a boy about 15 years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing a purse containing 15s. from the person of Jane Todman. The prosecutrix is the wife of a Thames police inspector, stationed on board the ship Scorpion, off Millwa,ll. On Saturday night she was passing along High-street, Poplar, when the prisoner and another boy approached, looked at her in the face, and at the same moment she missed her purse, and saw the prisoner, who was next to her, pass some thing to his companion. She raised an alarm instantly and seized the prisoner. The other boy ran away, and was immediately pursued by a gentleman who was passing, but he slipped up a court and got away. Shawas sure the prisoner took her purse ; which contained 155., and gave it to the other boy. Mr. Selfe—Did you see him do it ? Mrs. Todman—No, but he was next to me, and as he stared at me I missed my purse and saw him hand some thing to the other boy. Mr. Edwin Ondler, No. 1, Trinity-square, Tower-hill, said he saw the prisoner and another boy in company on Tower-hill on Saturday night and watched them He saw them close to the prosecutrix, and heard the alarm given. He pursued the boy who received the purse, but there were so many persons about that he could not find him. He had seen the prisoner and another boy on Tower-hill while the soldiers were being drilled. The prisoner, in defence, said he was an honest, hard working boy, and lived in Barnsley-street, Bethnal-green. Copping, a police-constable, No. 379 K, said he had seen the prisoner almost daily with thieves for the last 18 months. The prisoner was convicted in that court for stealing a pistol, and sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner was on Epsom-downs on Friday, and he drove him off the course. Mr. Selfe said that the prisoner was taking to thieving as a profession, and the next time he was brought before him and a case was made out, he would commit him for trial. At present the prisoner was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. THIS RAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, June 6.—'Wind this day at noon--S.W.; light, with fine sun s hi ny weather.

MASON JONES'S ORATIONS,—On Saturday afternoon Mr. Mason Jones delivered an oration at Willis's Rooms on "Richard Brin s l e y Sh er idan—Dramatist, Orat or, and Wit." The audience was in all particulars, saving numbers, select—not too select,'however, to accord in the heartiest manner their approval of the many brilliant points of oratory and su btl e critical insights which marked the lecturer's address. Mr. Jones sketched in a concise, yet comprehensive manner, the life of the erratic statesman, re lieving his biographical outline with a good deal of broad and bold rhetorical colouring, an d p eroratin g with a didac tic statement of the lessons and warnings the career of the Man, and the productions of the Writer, are intended to teach. ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC,—The performance for the first time in public of various MS. works, composed by pupils, is attracting attention to the second concert, next Thursday, which will be honoured with the presence of 11.R.H. the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Macy of Cambridge, in addition to a large party of the nobility, invited by the Earl of Westmorland, as Chairman of the committee of management. MEETING • OF PARLIAMENT. (From the Derbyshire Courier.) Now that the meeting of the new Parliament is about to take place, the actual position of parties is engaging the attention of the public. It app ears to be admitted on all hands that the return s have been very different from that which was generally expected. 241 r. Bright and his party 'must b e considerably surprised to find that the country has manifested a degree of supineness and indifference to his war cry of liberty which they had never imagined possible. Lord .Palmerston and Lord John Russell must be disappOinted at the very little country which has be en s h own th roug h ou t th e in support of their views. Ministers must also have seen with no little astonishment the success which has attended the efforts of their friends in various quarters where such success could be little expected. Accordingly the Times, which has all along blamed Ministers for dissolving Parliament, now turns round and declares that Lord John Russell's resolution was "as mere a blunder as any tyro in politics could commit in a moment of rash confi dence." "What in the name of common sense," it asks, "of Cocker, and of all that is calculable, what has been gained by this precious Resolution ?" " The responsibility of all that has followed dates from the first declaration of 'war—Lord J. Russell's resolution." " What, then," the Times proceeds to inquire, " has this resolution done ?" "So far as regards the balance of parties it has given Lord Derby 26 seats or 52 votes in a division. This is so much gain, and is not to be explained away. We cannot help looking back to the very hard fought battle, on a very definite issue, which Lord Derby lost by 39 votes, and with that recent instance we cannot but think Lord Derby has every reason to rejoice with a gain of 52 votes on a division. So Lord Derby, says the nnes' writer, may well pray " that Lord John may always direct and con found the politics of the Liberal cause." So we are further told that Lord John'" has shelved for this year Parliamentary Reform," that "the whole [ year has been lost to the country," and so the conclusion of the matter is that nothing has been gained but a " moral lesson" for Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell. "A year," said our King Charles 2d, "is a good deal out of a man's life," and the country will be inclined to think that the "loss of a year," the loss of money, loss of character to our Parliamentary system, and loss of patience at this petty, paltry, political strife, is " a good deal" to pay for a mural lesson to those promising young Statesmen, Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston. In the meanwhile the representatives in the pub lie press of the contending parties are casting up their accounts, and analysing the return lists of members. The Ministerial paper, the Morning Herald, divides the new members into 306 sup porters of Lord Derby, 107 of Lord Palmerston, 148 of Lord J. Russell, 28 of Mr. Bright, and 65 independent members. A carefully drawn up list published in The Sun gives 299 Ministerialists and 356 Liberals ; and by this computation the Liberal majority which in 1857 was 98, is reduced in the present Parliament of 1859 to 57, that is the Mini sterialists have gained 41 votes. The fact of upwards of 100 members of the new Parliament being new men must, however, be taken into account. Till some great division has taken place it is impossible to estimate correctly the exact shade of political opinion of a great part of these new members. Till such a division takes place the opinions ex pressed out of doors by politicians of various shades of party deserves some attention. Sir John Ramsden stated at a great meeting of his supporters at Leeds, on Monday last, that he was prepared to contradict the rumour that he had been selected by the Opposition to move a vote of want of confidence in Ministers, in the second week of the session. "No such proposition," said Sir John, " has ever been made to me ; and if it were I should decline it ; and for this reason, that I consider that the member of the House of Commons who takes upon himself to propose to Parliament to dismiss a Ministry, in order to justify such a course should be able to assure the House of COmmons that he sees his way to the founda tion of at more lasting and stronger Govern ment. I must say," added Sir John, " with the deepest regret, that in the present divided state of our leadership, I do not see my way to any such result." Sir John here speaks, as we think, to the point. If Ministers do wrong turn them out, if you can, but do not try to turn them out with one only motive,—that of getting yourselves in. But a more remarkable speech is that of Mr. Roebuck, at Milford. The honourable member for Sheffield generally speaks out, and on this occasion he was evidently in the humour for telling " his friends" and the country a bit of his mind. "We shall be called upon about 7th June," says Mr. Roebuck, " to decide whether or not the English. Parliament will put faith in the present Govern ment, or that which is looming in the future." And what, he asks is this coming Administration ? "It is that which I have seen," he says," for 26 years ever combining with the most violent professions of public policy, and regard fox the public interest, the most intense consideration for private emolument." " Shall we have," he proceeds " Lord Palmerston or Lord Derby for Prime Minister ?'' " I shall be found," he says " when the opposition . come,s, in the camp of ,the people of England, and that camp I sincerely believe to be opposed to Lord Palmer ston." "What," he asks, "am I, an independent member, to do, who have to chose between one side or another ? I say that the least mischief map come from not changing the Administration, and what is more, I believe we shall succeed in prevent ing that change." " I say,—for God's sake—don't chose Lord Palmerston." There can be, and Mr. Roebuck evidently intends that there shall be, no mistake about this. Mr. Roebuck is still a " Liberal," but he will not be a member of the Whig tail, whether Lord Palmerston or Lord Sohn be the head. We may turn to another public declaration, that of Mr. Bright, made at tirmingham, to a meet ing of non-electors. A more trumpery affair than this last Brummagem speech of Mr. Bright can not be conceived. In the first place, as Mr. Bright pretends to be a man of peace, and won't fight either on public or private grounds, ' he ought makes suggest a d eesmnuta,snaenoo Derby drf as that great public malefactor l ' asn ' language which he e ough t which h d e a r as e ) h io a t m u e s di e a gentleman, of using, even if he were ready to take the responsibility of such language—which he is Butnot rtehaidsy isto do.' merely a want of good taste and right feeling. Mr. Bright's speech is altogether a shallow and puerile affair. We make allowance, indeed, for his being a disappointed man. He meets the non-electors of Birmingham—he tells them, "in evil times," the Jcountry has refused to accept Mr. Bright as its guide, philosopher, or friend. The English people think 11Ir. Bright an unsafe guide, an unsound philosopher, and a dangerous friend. And ,so Mr. Bright has fallen upon evil times. The fact is, Mr. Bright is degenerating into a mere demagogue pure and simple. He abuses the English Parliament for keeping up the Corn Laws—it being a well known fact, stated by Adam Smith, the Apostle of Free Trade, that the protective system in this country originated with the body to which Mr. Bright b e l o ngs, and to which he owes everything—the trading community in the towns. He tells the people that they now condemn the great war with France, when he knows that the people, at the time of the war, w ere en th us iastic supporters of that war. He tells the people that .the represen tative system, w hi c h h as succeeded _better than s any that ever ex i s t e d in the world — b e b better ep its eoplethaalnl what they may—had become Englishlitet " a form a n d a farce." present war.

From and in fact everythhinisg speech mali it might be su pp o s es the whole tenor of Mr. Roebuck had not the militia, the yeomanry, t l h y e a r n ifl d e E cl n ub r movement, h i n co mmon.. Everything in Mr. Bright' s a dd ress tin id e a that Mr. Brig ht and leads to the conclusion that, except the 700 non electors of Birmingham and Mr. Bright himself, everybody, every institution, and every feeling in E n gland, is corrupt and rotten. England," said Mr. Roebuck on Saturday last, 6t is now at the very apex of civilisation—she is the torch of liberty. All that is great and liberal in the government of mankind has emanated from England." " I look upon England, " says the member for Sheffield, "As the great sun of my existence, and to her welfare, and the co aisideration of her well-being, I would sacrifice my existence." Mr. Roebuck, though an advanced Lihi !ral, is also an Englishman in feeling and in practice. But here is Mr. Bright, because the country will not go with him at this present moment in extending the franchise to such a class of Englishmen as he thinks and hopes would secure to him the emolu ments of office and enable him to goveyn the country in his own particular way, ready to scold like a woman, and vilify all those institutioi rs conferred on hi m every to advantage of') OSitiOn w hich bear he has attain e d.
