IRELAND. DUBLIN, SA.TITRDAY EVENING. The borough elections, with the exception of Youghal, which will be decided this evening, are brought to a close, and the result can hardly :lave come lip to the expectations of the Government. The Derbyites have gained in Down patrick, Newry, and Mallow—in all, three seats, while they have lost Limerick City and the borough of Carlow. As suming. that Mr. Butt will be re-elected for Youghal—of which there is said to be little doubt—this would leave a positive gross gain of one for the Conservatives in the Irish cities and boroughs. Upon the whole the changes in the representation have been even less than was anticipated, and do not number more than 10 new faces, some of which, indeed, have been seen in Parliaments older than the one recently doomed to premature dissolution. Four contests were decided yesterday, in three of which the Conserva tives showed fight, and were signally defeated. In Athlone Mr. John Ennis worsted Mr. Bailey by a large majority. Apropos of this election the Evening Mail calls the atten tion of the Lord Chancellor to the following extract from the speech of The O'Donoghue, delivered at Haire's Hotel, Athlone, at the nomination of his father-in-law, Mr. Ennis Tne time was now arrived when we should be united as one by taking the sword and throwing away the scabbard, and never cease until we exterminate and root out Orange Protestantism from our native land. We then can recog nise in each a brother by having the sign of the holy cross on his forehead." In Drogheda Mr. Cann successfully disposed of the claims of Captain Middleton, the protege of Cardinal Wise man, and a determined Roman Catholic Derbyite. Kinsale has preferred the liberal and enterprising Mayor of Cork (a Scohman) to Captain Brine, a moderate Conservative.; and New Ross has re-elected Mr. Tottenham, a proprie tor of the town, and a half-Radical, half-Tory. This con eluded yesterday's bill of fare. On Thursday Mr. John Patrick Somers's attempt to defeat the high Conservative, Mr. Wynne, proved a most signal failure, and in Water ford Sir Henry Winston Barron, an old attache of Whig gery, made an effort to win back his old seat, but the Tory . Haggard and the hybrid Roman Catholic, Blake, were re-elected. As already stated in the summary of the results of the Irish elections, Mr. Miller, a terribly earnest sup porter of Lord Derby, was unexpectedly ousted from Armagh, and the seat won by Mr. Bond, a moderate Con servative, generally understood to enjoy the confidence of the Lord Primate. The county elections commence this day with Dublin, concerning which there is not a word in the papers of this morning, no one seeming to care a pin's point about the matter. They will close with Kilkenny, which commences this day week ; and it only remains to be seen whether Ire land is still to be regarded as the political grazing-farm for the support of Conservative Governments in th hour of their extremity. The Waterford News denies the report of Mr. Power's intention to retire from the county in order to make way for Mr. Osborne. The following account of the fatal riot in Limerick at the close of the city election is supplied by the Reporter, ultra Roman Catholic, and a warm partisan of Major Gavin's, and, as such, ample allow ance must be made for one-sidedness. The same reserva tion will probably be necessary when the public obtain the version of the opposite party's organ : _ _ _ " The moment the result of the poll was ascertained it is impossible to describe the extraordinav enthusiasm with which the entire population was seized': Crowds, number ing some thousands of persons, grouped into George's-street, Patrick-street, Rutland-street, &c. At 5 o'clock Major Gavin appeared in the streets, mounted on his favourite white Arab charger, and surrounded by men absolutely mad with excitement. Followed by enormous numbers, he pro ceeded over the Mathew hridge, down the Merchant's-quay to the City Court-house, up (Indy-lane, where efforts were made to detach the horse from the car on which some of the major's friends were seated, in order that the people should draw them. The enormous crowd, continuing to follow the major, went down through Peter's cell, and by the old historic walls of the abbey, and into the open ground beside St. Mary's Chapel. Here the Major went to the Dean's house to pay his respects to the Dean ; and then, turning up Athlunkard-street into Mary-street, the proces sion went across Baal's-bridge into the Irishtown, still fol lowed by at least 10,000 persons, cheering, huzzaing, making the welkin ring with their earnest demonstrations of joy. At the English side of Baal's-bridge, in a line with Mr. Meskill's house, a detachment of soldiery, at the head of which was Dr. sore, J.P., was drawn up with bayonets fixed, and the people passing on cheered them vociferously. Passing by the house of a person named Richaid Gamble, in Broad-street, some few of the small broken stones on the street were flung at the windows by two or three boys in the crowd, and a few panes of glass were broken. Missiles were in return flung from the upper windows of Gamble's house, and the people at once interfering an immediate stop was put put to this mark of the indignation of those persons who foolishly wreaked their resentment on this individual for voting for the Derbyite candidate, for whom, it is alleged, he worked with wonderful zeal and assiduity during the election. Major Gavin was con siderably in advance when this occurred, and was totally unaware of the circumstance—it did not occupy one minute, and created no sensation. The Major passed on through John's-square, up Cornwallis-street, down William street, and up George's-street, accompanied and followed by several thousands of people, who continued cheering, hus zaing, and applauding, and making the welkin ring with their acclamations. At George's-street, several who had thus far accompanied the gallant Major, opposite the house of his agent, returned,. some homewards, others to other parts of the city ; but the Major. passing on, went to the Crescent, by the statue of the Liberator, which was saluted with every mark of respect by Major Gavin and the people, and on by Perry-square to Boherbuoy, down through which he passed, amid continued rapturous greetings from the thousands who followed him. " Passing down High-street, Mungret-street, and into Broad-street again, everything was as tranquil and as joyous as possible, a band playing Garryowen' in front, and the Major returning the salutations of the crowds in the win dows by taking off his hat, and bowing repeatedly to his admirers. Opposite Gamble's house a party of police under Sub-Inspector Milling, and commanded by Mr. E. Gonn Bell, R. M., was drawn up at this time ; as the Major and those immediately about him were passing, some missiles were thrown from Gamble's second floor window. It is said by very many that there were no stones or missiles thrown until this occurred at Gamble's. Stones were then thrown at Gamble's windows, and some panes of glass were broken, but no further injury was done ; neither the sashes, the doors, the shutters, the walls or any other portion of the house were in the slightest degree damaged. The police then, with fixed bayonets, charged, by order of Mr, Bell, a large number of persons up the street, towards Old John's gate or the Market •house, and the crowds, separating in every direction, ran as rapidly as possible into the adjoining lanes, West Watergate-lane, Flag-lane, crying out Murder,' and in the greatest possible state of alarm. The police then came down the street again in a body, headed by Mrs. Bell, but between the old Market-house and Gam ble's house there was no crowd whatever, and very many females had the windows up enjoying the enthusiastic scene before them. "At the Market-cross the police were observed loading by those down the street, who could not imagine why they loaded, particularly as the streets were near ly em pti e d, with the exception of some 20 or 30 boys and girls who were throwing stone's at Gamble's windo ws , some o f w hi c h, it is said, fell on the police, but none of that body sus tained a,tything like injury. It is said that Mr. Bell read the Riot Act, and gave orders to the police to fire I To the inexpressible horror and dismay of the unfortunate people, no sooner was the word given than it was instantly obeyed! One tall policeman walked a few paces in front of the others and fired. A volley was then fired by the platoon—then another—then another volley—in all about 50 shots of ball cartridge, on a retreating, powerless, and defenceless peo ple, the majority of whom had nothing whatever to do with the stone-throwing at Gamble's windows. In a moment the scene was converted into one of utter horror and agony. A fine young man named Grace, a carpenter, about three months married, was shot through the mouth, the ball passing out through the back of the head; his fate was in stant death; he was not near Gamble's, and had nothing whatever to do with the stone throwing. He was return ing to his house after his day's work—a home of sorrow and desolation which he was never destined to behold. The wounded persons were conveyed to their own residences amid the screams, curses, and lamentations of the multi tude. Three men were carried to Barrington's Hospital. Grace was already dead when laid on the table of the sur gery. The piercing cries of his wretched wife, who was carried out after f a i n ti ng away, were echoed by the multi tude, very few of whom could refrain from tears. " Poor Grace was shot through the mouth; the ball piercing the brain. His countenance wore an expression o f great anguish. The other victim, who has since died, was quite a lad, and had been shot through the abdomen. The third was wounded on the shoulder, the bullet having ploughed up the flesh very deeply ; but we have not been informed as to whether the wound is very dangerous or not. clohessy, the boy, aged about 14 years, the son of a widow in Garryowen, and an apprentice to a shoemaker named Holmes, was shot through the abdomen. His agony was excruciating, and he expired last night at the hospital. His mother, in a paroxysm of grief and terror, ran to the hospital soon after the occurrence, and hearing the dreadful story, fainted in the arms of some female friends by wh om she was surrounded. John MacNamara, a fine young man from the island, the son of a widow, was shot through the thigh, and he is in a precarious condition in the hospital, the ball having passed through the flesh. John O'Brien, a young lad from the Green, near the Blackboy, was shot through the shoulder, and his case is every serious one also. A fine boy, a son of Mr. Meskill, boatmaker, of Mary street, was shot, though far distant from Gamble's house, at the opposite side of Baal's-bridge, by a spent ball; but we are happy to observe that his wound is not considered dangerous ; he had a narrow escape. Three balls perforated the shop window of Mr. Meskill's house, which is situated at the corner of Ball's-b r id ge, at the opposite side of the river from Gamble's; and other members of his family escaped through a miracle of Providence. Some of the police, firing less murderously than others, hit sign boards and houses over shop fronts, and the sign of Mr. Carr, near Gamble's, was thus struck, and the front of houses in the neighbourhond. The Rev. William Beurke picked up a ball cartridge which some honest and humane .policeman dropped in the street, rather than inflict death with it on a defenceless and wretched flying crowd of young lads, women, and children. A boy who was putting up shutters at Donovan's publichouse escaped providentially r a ball having perforated a cask of beer which lay on the flags within a few feet of him. The hospital pre sented a sad spectacle as the victims of this atrocious out rage lay on their beds groaning in anguish, and as the Bead lay stretched in a gory shroud, the bloody evidence against this unexpected massacre. In a moment the report of the firing was heard, and people ran in all directions to the city authorities with the news. The Mayor was speedily on the spot, and his Worship asked Mr. Bell had he read the Riot Act? Mr. Bell showed a small card, and said he had read the Riot Act ; he also added that he was roughly handled, but he bore no traces on his person of rough usage, neither did the police, who were questioned, by Sub-Inspector O'Reilly as to the injueies they received, and one of them alleged that he got a stroke of a st one on the ankle, but it did not appear to maim or cause him inconvenience. Mr. Crawford, the county ins lector, was soon on the spot. Mr. M‘Leed, sub-inspector, Mr. Enright, sub-inspector, several other s ub - inspectors, and a large police-force, and about an hour afterwards Mr. Coulston, resident magistrate, and a squadron of the 3d Drag o on Guards. Dr. Gore, J.P' near the scen e f rom the commencement. He stated that was took no part in the orders that were given to fire, and it ap pears that he did not. The doctor as the evening advanced appeared to fear more bloodshed , and energetically spoke o f the necessity of sending home • - excited crowds at a moment that the people were quiet and order ly, brooding over the horrific scene which the cit y had ju st witnessed. itne•sed. About half-past 8 o'clock Major Gavin, accompanied by Dean Butler, the Rev. Messrs Moloney , . Bourke, Hickey, Shana han, Quin l a n, ac • ; Messrs Lean, Raleigh, Bodkin, &c., procee d e d to the Irishtown, where immense crowds were yet assembled. The gallant Major expre.ed his deepest regret at ( es if they were dogs ) of the poor who th e slaughter were shot down, and appeased the wr a th of the multitude by assuring them that ho was determined that the blood of the poor fellows should not be shed unavenged. R e b eao of the people to go home, and not afford another opp o rt . ~ nity for the re-enactment of another sanguinary tragedy. The Dean and clergy also besought of the people to retire peaceably homewards ; and they proceeded home, cursing the event they had witnessed with feelings that cannot be described, and which, in all its features, is m e startling and awful than the ever •to-be-remembered tr gedy at Six mile -bridge. "We counted 12 bullet marks on the wal of the house No. 1, Assembly Mall. "It is asserted by very many that no p vocation what ever was given for this murderous outrage; by others it is said that the police were hit by stones, but the stones did them no injury; and out of the entire number of police present not a man was seriously injured or incapacitated from attending to his duty. It should be stated that the Rev. William Bourke and the Rev. Mr. Halpin did all that could be done to assuage the feelings of the people after this revolting outrage, and in persuading them to go home. Dr. Gore, J.P., spoke to a number of gen tlemen who were standing at 'Verlin's corner, alleging that there was fear of further bloodshed ; but the doctor took a very erroneous view of the matter, which he was shown by some of those who were present. Mr. Joseph Murphy, in the presence of Mr. Thomas Boyse, J.P., took the depositions of the poor boy, Clohessy, who stated that he was quietly coming across Ball's-bridge at the time ; that he was neither anding nor throwing stones ; that he had given no provocation ; several persons had a most narrow escape. A young man standing at his house in Mary-street was near a person who was hit with a ball as he was speaking to him. Groups of women remained till a late hour outside Barrington's Hospital, and their cries and lamentations were piteous in the extreme. At 3 o'clock yesterday the Mayor, Captain Gavin, Mr. Barron, R.M., Mr. Hartigan, and Mr. M'Mahon held a court at the City Courthouse for the discharge of persons who bad been taken up for rioting. Mr. Lynch appeared for the prisoners, and the Rev. Mr. Bourke stated that during an experience of 40 years he never witnessed so orderly an election as the present. There was some rioting at the election before the present ; but at this election there was none whatever, nor anything at all of the kind, and he hoped the bench would deal leniently with the few persons who were brought up. The number of persons brought up in all was only five or six, and with two exceptions the bench discharged them with a caution. The persons convicted were Jeremiah Mannix, for throwing a policeman's cap into the river ; he was fined 55., or seven days in gaol ; and another was sentenced to a month's imprisonment for throwing stones. " The inquest and inquiry into the appalling death of John Grace, who was shot dead in the Irishtown on Wed nesday evening, and William Clohessy, who died last night in hospital from a shot on the same occasion, was opened at 11 o'clock a.m. this day before Dr. Murphy, coroner, in Barrington's Hospital ; after which, on the application of Mr. Joseph Murphy, solicitor, the proceedings were ad journed until 2 o'clock, to await tile arrival of Mr. Charles Barry from Dublin, who is retained as counsel for the friends of the deceased. " At 2 o'clock the great Board-room of Barrington's Hos pital was thronged with a most crowded and high-respected assemblage of cleig y men and citizens, among whom were Major Gavm, M P., Sir Matthew Barrington, Bart., &c. "Mr. Barry, who had just arrived from Dublin, appeared for the next of kin of the sufferers, with Mr. Joseph Murphy and Mr. D. Doyle, solicitors. Mr P. Murphy appeared on behalf of Mr. Bell, with Mr. J. Boyse, for the police. "When the jury were about being called it was stated that they were summoned by Head Constable Frawley, who made himself conspicuous in the late election by swear ing novel informations against musical bands. " Mr. Barry strongly objected, and was supported in his objections by several others, including the Rev. William Bourke, P.P., Rev. Mr. Kenyon, P.P., &c. " Mr. P. Murphy contended that the jury were sum moned in the ordinary way. " Rev. Mr. Kenyon—By police to try police charged with shooting down citizens at their doors. The Mayor complained that the courtesy of acquainting him with the summoning of the jury had not been ob served, though he had given strong directions to the sub inspector (Mr. M'Leod) as to the position of the citizens who should be selected for this highly important duty. " The Coroner said he had nothing to say on that sub ject, and did not deserve an attack. "The Mayor said that he did not allude to the coroner, but to the police authorities, who had not acquainted him as they ought to have done on the subject. "Major Gavin, M.P., spoke of the partisanship exhi bited by the police. "The inquest, after the jury viewed the bodies of John Grace and William Clohessy, adjourned to the City Court house. " Mr. Boyse, on behalf of the police, applied to have the case adjourned until after the elections. "Mr. Barry resisted so unusual an application, which the Coroner refused. " Mr. Robt. Gelston, M.D., was sworn, and gave evidence as to the cause of the death of Grace, which he said pro ceeded from a gunshot wound which entered the right side from the back, and remained in the external cavity of the chest. His death was instantaneous, some of the large arteries having been cut. He saw William Clohessy mor tally wounded—he was perfectly conscious. The ball entered behind the right side of his chest and passed close to the spine ; he died last night from the effects of the gun shot wound. " Mr. Boyse cross-examined, and in answer Dr. Gelston stated as his opinion that the persons shot were standing up. " In reply to Mr. Barry he stated that the backs of all the persons shot must have been turned towards the police, except young Meskell (who was standing at bis father's door when he was shot). " The Court adjourned to 10 o'clock to-morrow, when the question of adjourning the inquest until after the elections will be resumed." THE RIGHT HON. I. S. W ORTLEY. At a meeting of his commtttee and supporters held at the Angel Inn, Sheffield, Mr. WORTLEY said—l should not have ventured to make another call on your attention and patience after the full explanation I made of my principles here on another occa sion if it had not been for some circumstances which have since occurred, and which make me desirous again to meet you, if it had not been especially for a certain unwarrant able, uncalled-for, and unfounded attack made on me be hind my back and not in my presence. (Loud cheering.) I at once honestly say that it has proceeded from a quarter from which I should least have expected it. I have never injured or said one word in derogation of the character of Mr. Roebuck, either as a politician or as a gentleman. (Cheers.) He has been my personal friend. We have been on the most perfect terms of mutual and social friendship; and I never thought he would have been the man, with his character and probity I never thought he would have been the man unnecessarily to step out of his way (loud cheers) when I was absent, to malign me and attack me in a personal way on the want of principle. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I have played a very different part towards that gentleman. (Renewed cheers.) Some of you will remember, and some of you may have been offended, by the terms of admiration and friendship in which I have spoken of him in this town. Only last winter, in addressing a large body of your fellow townsmen, I said that, whatever his principles and politics might be, you might well be proud of a representative of his large talent and abilities—the grandson, as I told the men of Sheffield, of the illustrious Dr. Roebuck, who was the patron and friend of James Watt. Those were the terms in which I spoke of Mr. Roebuck in this town. If I had chosen, what course might I have taken ? (Hear, hear.) Mr. Roebuck is no Yorkshireman ; he is no Sheffield man ; but a stranger. (Cheers.) I, and those to whom lam related, your neigh bours, have never interfered in your political struggles in the borough, believing that we acted wisely in taking that course. We used no sort of influence at your elections. But I don't think that I speak with too much vanity when I say that if we had exercised that influence, and if I had so advised my friends in this place—not by any influence of power or property, but by the just influences arising from neighbourhood and kindly feeling—Mr. R o ebuck would not have had quite that quiet seat at Sheffield that he has en joyed. (Applause.) If I had chosen to treat him as he has treated me, and stir up opposition to him here, he might not have been defeated in the election, but he would not have had the untroublesome position which he has hitherto occupied. (Cheers.) But, gentlemen, I never purposed doing so, and I never should have thought of it, neither will I now condescend to retaliate upon him. (Applause.) But I must justify and vindicate myself from his aspersions. and with your indulgent patience I will proceed to do so. I have often heard Mr. Roebuck maligned, both as to his public conduct and also as to other matters ; but I have uni- iorroly vindicated and defended him as a private friend, and therefore I feel that this is a most ungenerous and un worthy return. (Cheers.) Well, now, gentlemen, what is the accusation ? Why, that I have been guided, in my public life, not by principle, but by mean personal motives. (Shame.) I regret to find that my opponents in this con test have not repudiated but adopted this unjust and un generous conduct ; for I hold in myhand a placard, largely circulated at Leeds, and by the auth or ity o f my opponents, in which are published the speech of Mr. Roebuck, the ar ticle from the Times, the article from the Examiner, and a perfectly groundless article from the Leeds Mercury- I re gret to say that not only is this widelycirculated, but my op ponents, the honourable candidates themselves have carried it with them, and in the Bradford district at Appe r l e y-b r id ge , they made it the main topic of their speeches. (Shame.) I have myself abstained throughout this contest from any re flections upon my opponents, and I have not said one word that could be considered personal or disrespectful towards . them ; and I will not even now be tempted—(loud cheers)--by their ungenerous conduct to retaliate upon them. I will not be betr 'Ted into one expres sion of harshness, either towards Mr. Crossley or Sir J. W. Ramsden. There is a story, gentlemen, that once when the great Burke was a candidate at Bristol he made one of his brilliant orations, and at the close of it the other candidate was so abashed at having to follow that great man that the whole of his speech was, " I say ditto to Mr. Burke." (A laugh.) Now, I don't think I shall be over stepping the limits I have set to myself when I describe the course of my opponents in making use of this—they say "ditto" to Mr. Roebuck. (Laughter and cheers.) As to Mr Crossley, I don't think it necessary to add more to what I said before. As to Sir J. W. Ramsden, he is an extremely young man, and has a great deal to learn—(cheers)—and among other things, he has to learn the courtesies of public life. (Hoar, hear.) When ho is older—gentlema n as he is —he will know better than to treat his opponents as ho has treated me. (Cheers) But I must now notice the sub stance of the attack which is made upon me, and I state at once that it is pure unmitigated untruth. (Loud ap plause.) Mr. Roebuck is reported to have said, " I recol lect that bon. gentleman in my early life, not only as a Tory, but a very fierce and furious Tory, speaking always in great contempt of the poor. He scorned to be governed by the hard, horny-handed men who make England what she is. He, the very cream of society, to be debased by such a pro ceeding. No, indeed, he was a Tory." Now, gentlemen, I have mixed with Mr. Roebuck i n society for 25 years, and we have been brethren in en arduous profession. He most therefore know what my political life has been ; but I chal lenge him to bring forward anything at any time or place to show the semblance of a pi etence for his saying that he ever heard me use language of contempt for the people or the poor. (Loud cheers.) I have undoubtedly spoken with contempt of the flatterers and deceivers of the poor— (applause)—for as it was once beautifully said by Sir George Murray, "Crowds have their courtiers as well 'as kings ; and all of them are equally contemptible." (Hear, hear.) It is of the flatterers of the poor—the democrats and dema gogues who deceive the poor—that I have spoke n w ith con tempt, but towards or respecting the poor I h ave never used such an oppression. (Applause.) Neither have I been " a fierce and furious Tory." I have always been a Conservative, and I was what was called a Tory before the name of Conservative was invented, but a fierce Tory, of the school of Eldon and Wetherell, I never was. I was always a moderate Conservative. (Cheers.) On my first entrance into public life my leader and champion was the great Mr. Canning—(cheers) —the eloquent champion of Catholic emancipation, the illustrious antagonist of the Holy All iance in Europe, the fosterer and re generator of the liberties of Europe, the asscrter of the independence of the Spanish American colonies, and who, to use his own beautiful and eloquent language, "called the new world into existence to readjust the balance ' of the old world." After Mr. Canning's death I was an admirer and follower of that great regenerator of a free com mercial policy, Mr. Huskisson, who first inaugurated a reduction of the duties upon corn and other necessaries of life, and who initiated that course of free trade policy which was afterwards consummated by Sir Rob but atert Pee all eventsl. Some it completely falsifies the statement of Mr. Roebuck that I may perhaps object to me on this ground, was ever a fierce Tory. But, to come down to later times —after the fall of Huskisson on the first occasion when I was in Parliament, on the accession of Lor d Grey as a Mini ster of Reform, and through the whole of his ministry, as well as that of Lord Melbourne, I consistently and without hesitation co-operated with you in resisting and opposing both those Administrations. When the first Administra tion of Lord Derby was formed I admit that I was in a diffi- culty as to what I should do ; for up to that tine I had fol lowed Sir Robert Peel, who had repealed the Co,m-laws, and by so doing had sacrificed power, popularity vil . th his party, and all that a statesman most values, for his con scientious conviction that he was right in granting a rept'al of the Corn-laws. Having thus been an adherent of Sir R. Peel, when Lord Derby's first Administration took office I undoubtedly did give my opposition to that Administration, and as a follower of Sir Robert Peel I could not honourably have done otherwise. I thought they had treated Sir Robert unjustly, and I gave them my opposition. I still continued my opposition when Lord John Russell came into power, and I then again united with the great Conser vative party, who were unanimous in that opposition. To that the Administration of Lord Aberdeen succeeded. And here Mr. Roebuck states as facts circumstances which he had the means of knowing correctly, and when he was about to make a personal attack upon me he ought to have assured himself that they were correct. (Hear.) But he states as facts things that are inconsistent with the truth. (Hear, hear.) Though in Lord Aberdeen's Government I had not only friends but relatives, I never applied for em ployment, I never asked for place, and I never accepted it. Yet Mr. Roebuck here states that I was Judge-Advocate under Lord Aberdeen. It is perfectly untrue. (Loud cheers and cries of "shame"). I was, under very peculiar circum stances, Judge-Advocate for a few months under the Admi nis.ration of Sir Robert Peel. It was at the time when he was known to be favourable to the repeal of the corn-laws, and when his Administration had already been doomed. I remember well the kindness with which Sir Robert Peel spoke to me when he sent to confer with me, for I never asked to be made Judge-Advocate, but he sent for me of his own accord. He said that he knew I was a leader upon the Northern Circuit, biit he perhaps did not know that I was at the time earning, by my own abilities—(hear, hear) —twice as much as the salary he could offer me. He said to me that his Ministry was in a position of great difficulty in filling up that office, which he said was perhaps not worth my acceptance, but he told me I should greatly serve the cause if I would make the sacrifice. (Cheers.) Under these circumstances, I held the office of Judge- Advocate in Sir Robert Peel's Administration for four months. My reward was the power and dignity of that office, with its comparatively small salary, for four months, but accompanied with the loss of my business upon circuit. (Cheers) During the years when Lord Aberdeen was in power, notwithstanding what Mr. Roebuck says, I never held office at all. (Cheers.) When Lord Aberdeen retired from the Government he was succeeded by Lord Palmer ston. At that time a great many of the moderate Conser vatives gave a qualified support to Lord Palmerston, and that noble lord—most unexpectedly to me, and under some what similar circumstances—sent for me, and told me that he had great difficulty in filling up from his own ranks the office of Solicitor-General, and he asked me if, after he had taken her Majesty's pleasure upon the subject, I should be willing to accept that office. I took 48 hours for considera tion. I also consulted my Conservative friends, and they told me that as at that moment there was no public party question under consideration, I should not be justified in re fusing my services to the Queen. (Cheers.) Under those circumstances I accepted office ; but before I did so I re quired from Lord Palmerston an assurance upon one sub ject, and upon one only. I told him that all through my life, if I had been signalised for anything, it had been for opposing, both in and out of Parliament, anything like a sweeping and dangerous measure of Parliamentary Reform. (Hear, hear.) I said to Lord Palmerston, " I cannot take office under you unless I am assured that I am not likely to be led against toy old friends upon the question of Parlia mentary Reform. He answered—but perhaps lam not at liberty to give you his answer—but he gave me his per fect assurance that from him there was no danger of such a proposition. (Hear.) Under those circumstances I ac cepted that Office, and held it but a very short time. Mr. Roebuck insinuates, though he does not venture to state it, that I left that office when I saw that the Ministry was in danger. (Shame.) So far from that being true, at the time when I was compelled to resign that office was at the very moment of a dissolution, and when the Conservatives, almost as a body, supported Lord Palmerston, and when he got that enormous majority which for a time gave him greater power than had been possessed by any Minister for half a century in England. (Cheers.) It was, gentlemen, by the hand of God, and of God alone, that I was at that time compelled to retire from the lucrative office I held. (Cheers.) I was struck by a severe illness— brought on by labour and anxiety in the discharge of my duties—and for nine months I was incapacitated from taking part in public business, and I resigned my office, although Lord Palmerston twice pressed me to keep it and wait for my recovery ; but I insisted upon resigning upon the ground, and this ground alone, that as I could not perform its duties— though it was a source of very large and lucrative profit to me —I could not conscientiously continue to hold it. Well, gentlemen, after those nine months—when by God's mercy I was restored to that perfect health which enables me now to serve your cause— (cheers)—l found things greatly changed. The opinion of the public had ceased to support Lord Pal merston, and he was not only out of office, but had not above twenty supporters in the house, because he had con ducted foreign negotiations in a manner which the country disapproved. I was, I confess, much embarrassed as to what seat—for youknow, gentlemen, that parties are dim tinguished by seats in the House of Commons—l should occupy. I had much sympathy with Lord Palmerston, for I could not ap prove of the course taken by Mr. Disraeli and his friends in coalescing with Mr. Milner Gibson to displace Lord Palmer ston. I therefore felt greatly embarrassed, as I have said. But an occurrence happened which decided the course which I thought I ought to take. I have told you already of the assurance I received from Lord Palmerston. I had always, in consonance with the views of my Conservative friends, opposed the motion of Mr. Locke King for reducing the county franchise to £lO. On one occasion, however, Lord Paltherston being in opposition, chose to unite with the Whigs and Radicals, and gave his vote—contrary to all his votes up to that time—in favour of that motion by Mr. Locke King. That decided my course. I felt that Lord Palmer ston must have changed his views, and have become prepared for a more sweeping measure of reform than I could ap prove, and from that moment I sat on the opposite side of the house. There is, therefore, no ground whatever for any one to state that I left Lord Palmerston for any mean motives. I left him because I was compelled by sickness, and if I gave a general support to Lord Derby rather than him, it was because he was joining with the extreme Whigs and Radicals, who were determined to force onus a sweeping measure of reform. But I do not believe now that Lord Pa lmerston and I differ one jut. He made himself unfortunately and unguardedly a party to the resolution of Lord J. Rus sell. But read his speech on the ballot, and his recent speech at Tiverton, and tell me whether he does not agree better with his late Solicitor-General than with his late A ttorne- General, who has been the subject of attack in the House of Commons. Gentlemen, I say that my conduct has been perfectly consistent with my original Conservative opinions —Liberal and moderate Conservative opinions. (Hear.) I am a general supporter of that Ministry which now held the reins of p )wer, and which appears to me t o b e act ing on principles of moderate Conservatism. Some of their followers may think they have gone further than they need have done with reform ; but that shows that it cannot be said of them that they are playing the part of fierce Tories. I will say no more of Mr. Roebuck than this. What is Mr. Roebuck ? (Loud cheers and laughter, and a voice—" A wasp.") He is a very clever man—a very good speaker—an orator. No, he is not an orator. (Laughter.) For to be an orator, you must join sound sense and good reasoning with brilliant eloquence. He may be eloquent in his speech, but he is no orator, because his principles are unwise, and his opinions are followed by no class of men. (Cheers.) When I said his principles are not wise, I used an unguarded ex pression. I mean that his counsels are not wise —(hear) — and those who have watched his career in the House of Commons know well that ho has used his great abilities to magnify himself, in what no doubt is a legitimate ambition. I have been forced to this egotistical summary of my poli • tical life. My conscience is clear. It tells me that I have never sought office. I h ave never h e ld it con t rar y t o m y circumstances conscience. I betrayed boundn o nobody. v e I In deserted t a n n o c b e o d t o y h . e r F re Ma jesty'sm Government, in unison with men not of my party, but of whose opinions I felt assured, for Lord Palmerston's Administration (as Mr. Roebuck told me in a private con versation, when I gave him my reasons for joining that Ad ministration) was the only Conservative Government that could be firmed. He stated emphatically to me, "To be sure it was, and that wasthe reason I opposed it with all my heart." RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS IN CIIELMS'. FORD. CHELMSFORD, FRIDAY MORNING. Last night the inhabitants of this town were' thrown into a state of considerable alarm by the proceedings of a body of the free and independent " non-electors" of this division of the county. Yes terday was polling day. and the earlier part of the time passed off quietly enough. During the afternoon, however, the excitement increased, and when the poll closed at five o'clock it was at its height: The two Conservative can didates—Messrs. Bramston and Watlington—were well received and vociferously cheered, upon returning thanks for being placed at the head of the poll ; but upon Mr. Baker, the defeated Liberal candidate, attempting to address the electors, the yells and hisses increased. almost beyond descrip tion, and it was with the utmost difficulty that the reporters could catch a sentence or two, to the effect that, though beaten this time, he should stand again upon the first opportunity. The excitement so far was within ordinary bounds for election times, and found vent for a time by the partisans of each can didate harnessing themselves to their carriages, and dragging them through the town amidst vociferous huzzas. But here the tide turned, the candidates soon left, the election was over, but the thirst of the mob athse f oonpxo hogsheads nsei fdhtau, spirits n aea:nnud. n a dtl s I n ofodt commenced h. of m is c h i e f , the iLmm excitementimsts t reets, ei borrowing" ebefa,ck reaewasvmne premises me hsbiotefruapo grocer unappeased. upon the ere ed causingro l i g thema most st furiously deaf hi e sna n uij i g S o me n u pha g p yer noise, and creating great alarm to the foot passen gers, which was increased by the absence of gas light, rendering it a matter of no small difficulty to steer clear of the ponderous casks. So long as the mob confined themselves to mere fun, the alarm was but momentary ; but when a large body of them tried to roll one of the casks into the gateway of the Saracen's Head Inn (the head quarters of the " blues"), matters assumed a differ ent aspect. Assisted by some of the bystanders, the servants of the inn managed to close the gates upon the mob ; but in the struggle the the hogsh ea d was broken to piec es , th e staves furnishing most formidable weapons, which flourished menacingly by their excited possessors. The police, however, soon arrived, and by th e i r firm but judicious conduct succeeded in quelling the disturbance. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 1859. THE NEW PARLI AMENT.

Dashwood, Smith, and Leven, the presiding magistrates at the Town-hall, Dartford, on Saturday, on the charge of stabbing another young man named Charles May, on Good Friday last, with intent to murder him, or to do him some grievous bodily harm. The prisoner was brought up from Maidstone gaol, in custody of Mr. Brandon, a superintendent of the county constabulary, where he has been remanded since the un fortunate occurrence, the prosecutor being so dangerously injured as to be unable to attend to give evidence—indeed, for some time his life was despaired of. Mr. Gibson, a solicitor, of Dartford, attended on behalf of the prisoner. The charge appeared to be made under the following circumstances :—The prisoner, who is not more than 23 years of age, is very respectably connected, his father being a shipowner, residing at Guernsey, and he himself being captain of a brig called the Anne, belonging to his father. It seemed that on the day in question the pri soner's vessel was lying off Greenhithe, and the prisoner was at the Hull Trader public-house, at Greenhithe, which is kept by a person named Minter, to whose eldest daughter the prisoner was paying his attention, and it is said they were go in g to be m ar ried. The prosecutor h ll e l l a o y n , g and to D another d , y o w u e n r g e n l s a o n at n a m the ed Hull Webb, T r b ad t e h r of on wh th om is o day, and it would seem that the *tuner paid a good deal attention to Miss Minter, which annoyed the prisoner, and he made some observations to that effect. Nothing,. however, took place at this time, and in the course of the afternoon the prisoner invited the two young men and Miss Minter and another young woman to go on board his vessel, and they did so, and afterwards rowed about the river, and then returned to Greenhithe, where they drank together, and during the evening an altercati on t oo k place between the prisoner and May, and a scuffle ensued, during which blows were struck. The prisoner, it appeared, left the public-house about half - past nine o'clock at n i g h t to go to his vessel, and he was followed by May and Webb, and they began joking him upon the subject of his sweet heart; and the prisoner, being somewhat the worse for liquor, answered him angrily, and at length a fight took place between him and Al ay, but the struggle had only lasted a short time, when the latter put his hand to his breast and exclaimed, " I am stabbed," and instantly fell to the ground. Assistance was procured, and he was carried back to the public-house, and Dr. Seccomb, a medical gen tleman n v g e the ry da p n r g o e s r e o c u u s t or woundh e a i s n c e t r e a i r ed g h t t h h a r e t a s h t e , a h a n d d trhee tle man practising at Gr een hith e, was sent for, and up o n i w ce n ex e l a u vm p e r y d o i n n. had Aapparentlymbeen i n n fl ofi c ttehde actby a i t s a h p a p r p e _ a r p e d o i n tthated the prisoner made the best of his way on board his vessel, where he was taken into custody on the following morning, and on his being taken into the room where the prosecutor was lying, he at once identified him as the man who had stabbed him. A search was afterwards made for the knife, but for some time no trace of it could be found, but at length Sergeant Hill, of the Kent eonsfabulary, upon mak ing a close search in the prisoner's berth, found a knife con cealed in the wood work, completely covered with blood, and with which no doubt the fatal injury bad been inflicted. The prisoner was on the same day taken before Sir P. H. Dyke, a magistrate for the county of Kent, at Dartford, and upon evidence being given that the prosecutor was in too dangerous a state to attend and give evidence, he was remanded to Maidstone gaol, and on Saturday was brought up for further examination. Upon the prisoner being placed at the bar, Mr. Brandon, the superintendent, put in a certificate, a which rep resen t e d th a t the prosecutor was still too ill to ttend, but was progressing favourably, and would probably be able to attend in a few days and give evidence, and upon this the superintendent asked for a further remand. Sir P. Dyke observed that he was glad to hear the pro secutor was likely to recover, but he had a most narr ow •, the pr.] escape, and, under the circumstances, the only course th a t could be taken by the Bench was agai n to remand Mr. Gibson said he did not feel that he was in a position to offer any opposition to this proceeding on behalf of the prisoner, and, The Bench then directed that he should be brought up a gain in a week.

The following is the text of Count Walewski's despatch to the Marquis de Banneville, French Charge d'Affaires at Vienna, announcing the cesEa tion of friendly relations between France and Austria " Paris, April 29. " Monsieur,—At the moment I have the honour of addressing this despatch to you, I feel little doubt but that the Ticino has been crossed by the Austrian army. have already made known to you by my telegraph message of the 26th the construction which the French Govern ment would be obliged to put on such a demonstration. If the precipitation of events unfortunately renders all discussion superfluous, it is a duty for me to remind you in a few words of the ensemble of the acts which show at the same time the imperious necessity of our conduct and the perseverance of our efforts to bring about a different result. The French Government certainly has not to justify itself for the solicitude which it feels for the state of things in Italy. The crisis which has broken out in the centre of the Italian peninsula shows the correct ness of our foresight, and sufficed to cause our apprehensions to be shared by the other great Powers of Europe. This simultaneous accord of the Cabinets in face of a d an ger of which they have for some years past felt a deep conviction, proves to what a point the question appears to them to be ripe for a solution. We are fully convinced that the Con gress, assembled under the conditions on which the Cabinet of St. Petersburg had proposed to convoke it, and confining itself within the programme traced out for its deliberations by the English Government, would have fully solved the difficulties which prudence will no longer allow to be left to themselves. Who can doubt but that the stumbling-block against which the work of conciliation has been broken was the pretension put forth by the Court of Vienna on the subject of a disarmament, relative to which it would have been more just for it to set an example ? Sardinia had, in fact, accepted without reserve the situation which re sulted for her from the terms of the proposition of Russia; and although military preparations had already been made on her territory, the disproportion of her forces rendered the idea of any aggression on her part inadmissible, and the most simple reason imposed on her the duty of calmly awaiting the decision of the great Powers. In a word, no guarantee could be more real or complete for Austria than the immediate meeting of the Congress; and if the first condition, which she insisted on being accomplished before answering the appeal of the allies—a conditien con sidered by every one as unacceptable—afterwards gave rise to combinations which she alone rejected, I must be allowed to say that at the outset, as well as at the end, the obstacle to that harmony which was sincerely desired by the other Courts was only met with at Vienna. The situa tion of affairs, Monsieur, doubtless acquired in consequence of so many delays a gravity more and more serious ; but tilt* good wishes and intentions which had been formed a nd maintained to the end between the Cabinets of Paris, Ber lin, London, and St. Petersburg, opposed its resistance to the perils of this situation. Nothing was irremediably. compromised, until Austria, not content with refusing her acquiescence to the last propositions of England adopted the plan of addressing to the Government of Turin a summons at a short delay, which forcibly changed our attitude. The French Government were fully disposed to consider the affairs of Italy as a great European question to the settle ment of which the assistance of all their allies was neces sary. These affairs, however, were connected on one single point with interests which affected them in a more personal and particular manner. Austria herself, in promising net to commence hostilities against Piedmont, implicitly recog nised the existence of a limit which the most anxious de sire for a pacific solution would not permit us to suffer her to pass. The French Government had, moreover, declared that it would not support Sardinia in any act of aggression, but that it would assist her in defensive measures. This engagement would remain inoperative until the occurrence of a contingency which depended entirely on the Court of Vienna. Informed of the menace made to Piedmont with such a brief delay, we were b oun d, i n an equally she" space of time, to place ourselves in a position to weaken its effects, and, on the demand of the King of Sardinia, the van" guard of the French army entered his territory. Sympathies, which we avow without hesitation, rendered it almost int" possible for us to remain indifferent to the sufferings of a country closely allied with France, but more positive reasons dictated our conduct—as the country in question lay at our very door, cove re d p ar t o f our f ront i ers, an d f orme d t h e lot obstacle to the extension of an influence which England , Prussia, and Russia, as well as ourselves, considered of nature to compromise the equilibrium of Europe . and to keep up in th a t p ar t o f It a l y, w hi c h was intended to constitute independent and sovereign States, a constant cause of agitation and disturbance. In adopting a resole' tion of which I have defined the purely defensive character, the French Government has felt bound to apprise the Court of Vienna that its ultimatum and the eventualities so clearly foreseen as its consequences, gave rise, by the side of the general question, till then treated in common by the Cabi-, nets of Paris, Berlin, London, and St. P e t ers b u rg, ,L i question altogether rench. It was a last warn i ng , a nnyl. effort to prevent, before it was t oo late, the encounter France and Austria on o th er groun d than that of European discussion. The sentiments which have never ceased to i. animate the Govern men t o f th e E mperor —l d o not f ea r at this solemn moment to guarantee the fact—did not tend to those extremities to which a no th er will has fatally led. It was the passing of the Ticino, which obliged us to cross the Alps, declining all responsibility for the events in the face of iurope. You will, therefore, Monsieur, as soon the doubt no longer rem a i ns res p ec ti ng th e movemen t of 110 Austrian troops, proceed to the Count de Buol, and, ate? reading- this despatch, of which you will leave him a cog? demand your passports.—Accept, &c " The following is the note which M. de Benne ville wrote to Count de Buol, dated Vienna, the 2d of May, in pursuance of the instructions given above : " Referring to the nommunication which by order of Ng Government he had the honour of making to his Exce l ' lency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and which puts all end to his mission, the undersigned regrets to have to re" quest his Excellency Count de Buol to deliver the paw" ports necessary f or hi m an d th e persons compos i n g the French Embassy at Vienna, to quit the States of the Ere; peror of Austria and proceed to France. The undersigned has the honour, &c." COUNTRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL—MAY 7. No fair change can be made in the prices of Tuesday Wit for any article, and they stand nominally as then quoted.
