SIR,—As my name has been so prominently re ferred to in the communications you have inserted from the United Trades' Conference, regarding trade societies, and also in Mr. Wale.s's letter in reply, you will probably do me the favour of allowing me to trespass upon your valuable space to state that I have carefully examined the rules, books, and minutes of the managing . committee of the Metro politan Society of Operative Bricklayers, and also the rules and bye-laws of the various lodges. The result is, I am of opinion, that there is no foundation for the charges of interfering with the mode of doing work (handling the trowel, bricks, &c.), made against the society by the master builders. The rule of secresy applies only to the admission and exclusion of members in those societies and lodges where the ballot is not used. In the Car penters' and Joiners' Society , and the lodges where they , ballot for members, there is no rule about keeping their proceedings secret. With reference to the resolution against overtime, it appears the committee had nothing to do with it, except in obtaining a delay, so that every man in the society might g i ve his opinion ; this was done by a voting paper, and the new rule was carried by a majority of 1,658 to 279. A respectful intima tion to that effect was then sent round to every master builder. " Working overtime," it is stated, " is usually caused by a man' s idli ng away (in drinking or otherwise) one or two days in the week, and then being allowed by the master s t o ma k e it up by working over the regular hours, in which case the public is frequently the cases suffe ai r na e stg r lwe b io.a y vpyeas e ry x tdsi t mo r tn a heee c : ti amn a n r ad g n e as he emer g ency,toThfheers e am i i s neo extra r e as tprovidedr r a ie t t e i oans he e te g h he a r am d s he always charges the employer. I beg to add that the minutes show that the strike regulations have a tendency to discourage strikes, and that the managing committee has been the means of settling, and even preventing, many disputes between the men and their masters. The minutes also attest many acts of benevolence and usefulness. The managing committee is in fact a "Council of Conciliation" for bricklayers elected by the various lodges of the craft to consider and arbi trate upon the disputes of their fellow-workmen, and they are consulted by non-society as well as society men. The principle upon which it is founded is worthy of imitation in many other trades, and it might be made a most valuable assistant to the master against badly conducted and unskilled artisans. With regard to the remarks in connexion with s i n t h o i s r letter, e ply to It them m to y st n a an te that it i s in the tone he has adopted. So lon g as the die le made b n y o t my intention Mr. Wales cussion was carried on with good temper, and avoided personalities, I should have been ready to render any assistance in my power to promote a settlement of the disputes. I was not, however, totally unprepared for the loss of temper in Mr. Wales's letter, after the personal encounters re ported to - have taken place between some of the master builders. Nothing seems to me more injudicious than the unconciliating conduct that the master builders have adopted from the beginning. Their refusal to receive a deputation from the united t rades (which even most prime ministers would have granted) ; their rudeness to any mediators, and even to the press ; the un-English secresy of their meet ings, and their adherence to the obnoxious " docu ment," have arrayed against them almost every artisan in the United Kingdom. All eyes were anxiously turned to their meeting of the day before yesterday. One stroke of the pen through the universally condemned " document," and 20,000 men would have returned to their em ployment. They have neglected this opportunity. The " document" (as their colours) has been nailed to the " mast," and by it they must stand or fall. Deeply is it to be lamented that they did not fol low the example of the Dublin master builders, who have acceded to the general desire of their work men for an increase of wages, and the report in yes terday's paper concludes by saying that the nego tiations were conducted in a spirit of moderation on both sides which speedily led to an amicable result. It was the master builders themselves who first asked my co-operation in a letter from that very Mr. Wales (quibbling about the substituted term of Central Association for Master Builders' Society) repudiates the notion of my ever having been ap plied to. e m m y a m s t o e t r i v b e s u l h d a e v r e s a s a evidentlybo body b ( e s e o n m eam misjudged ongst by the themsha refrainll am happy to consider as personal friends), I from all further interference, only hoping that those unhappy differences may have a T. MARSH NELSON, Architect. 6, Whitehall, August 11. Should the strike of the builders continue it can not.fail to exercise some iriliuence in reducing the demand for capital, owing it, the number of costly works that will remain in suspense and the conse quent diminution in the consumption of timber, iron, stone, and other materials, both of foreign and home production. The primary effect, of course, must be to favour the importation of bullion, since our debts to foreign countries will be less in pro portion as we restrict our orders for timber and articles of that description, while the falling off in our consumption of iron and other home goods will leave us a larger quantity of such goods to send to distant markets. This, however, will be but tem porary. Ultimately a totally opposite result must ensue in all such cases, since every delay in the construction of manufactories warehouses, offices, docks, bridges, and public undertakings that pro mote the exercise of our productive abilities must check our progress as compared with other coun tries, and interfere with our powers of exportation. An increased pressure on the money market would then be experienced from the necessity of paying balances in specie, and the men who have now thrown themselves out of work would find under those circumstances that the demand for their services had proportionably diminished.--Times. T.11:.F; .401V4, A full Board of Admiralty, consisting of the Duke of Somerset, First Lord ; the Hon; Sir Richard S. Dundas, K.C.8., First Naval Lord ; Rear-Ad miral Lord Clarence E. Paget, LB., Secretary; Rear-Admiral Sir Baldwin W. Walker, Bart., K.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy; and Capt. Frederick, accompanied by Lieut.-Colonel Godfrey Thomas Green, E.1.C.5., Director of Engineering and Archi tectural Works, commenced their official inspection of Woolwich Dockyard yesterday morning. Their lordships arrived at half-past 10, and were received by Commodore the Hon. James R. Drummond, C.B , Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, and Superin tendent of the Dockyard, attended by the principal officers of the establishment—namely, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Hall, R.N., masters in charge of the re ceiving ship Fisgard, in full uniform ; Mr. Charles Atherton and Mr. David Partridge, chief and as sistant engineers of the factory ; Mr. David Turner and Mr. Thornton, master and assistant-master shipwrights ; Mr. Piers, storekeeper ; Mr. Edwin Bernays, assistant civil engineer ; Mr. Laslett, timber conveyancer; Mr. Mallalieu, superintendent of the local division of the police force, &c., the whole of whom accompanied their lordships in their circuit through the operative establishments of the yard. A guard of honour, bearing the colours of the regiment (supplied by Colonel Stransham, com mandant of the Royal Marines) in command of Capt. Tribe, performed the customary honours on their lordships' arrival, and a body of 50 police constables, stationed at the main guard, presented arms. They first proceeded to the commodore's offices and revised the estimates proposed for the expenditure of the ensuing year, and inspected Mr. Ward's patent apparatus for the Ocean Marine Telegraph, as well as the operation of his signal flags, which were especially hoisted on board the Fisgard, and were visible from the Commodore's windows. One of the flags had become twisted and entangled in the rigging, and some slight difficulty was experienced in distinguishing the signal with the naked eye. It was thereupon decided by their lordships, at the Commodore's proposal, that as the system is eminently superior to our own, their advantages shall be further tested at sea on board the ships of the Royal squadron. Their lordships afterwards proceeded towards the eastern extremity of the yard, inspecting the ships under construction and ordered a temporary exten sion (over the present thoroughfare) of the two sheds under which the Barossa and Repulse are now progressing. After visiting the sawmills, ooat-house, &c., they passed along the line of wharf, inspecting the works in that direction and remarking with satisfaction on the activity dis played, every building slip being occupied with ships in a forward state of progress. Arrived at tho outor fitting baoin,' - their lordships entered on hoard the magnificent screw steam frigate - Ariadne, which stretches across the whole length of the basin. They likewise went on board the Mutine, 'which vessel, like the Ariadne, has recently ar rived at Woolwich from Deptford to 10 fitted for service. The inspection of the above-named por tion of the establishment had already occupied three hours, when it was suggested that the visit to the Royal Marine Department should be post poned to Monday or Tuesday next. Information was therefore despatched to the Royal Marine Barracks to the effect that the inspection of the corps would not take place that day. The troops who had been mustered in the barrack-square for the occasion were consequently withdrawn. Their lordships continued their tour, minutely examining the ships in dock, and finally passed through the Factory Department, which closed the inspection. They afterwards adjourned to the residence of the Commodore-Superintendent, and partook of lun cheon. No muster of the men, as on former occa sions, took place yesterday ; consequently the usual boon of a half-holiday, invariably granted on simi lar occasions, was not accorded. By their lord ships' special desire no visitors were admitted to the yard during the period of their visit, which occupied four hours. Letters from Castellarnare, near Naples, mention that the English fleet, consisting of 5 liners under Vice-Admiral Fanshawe, was about to leave that anchorage on the 11th of August for Baja and Palermo. A few days previous acts of mutiny had been committed by a number of the crew (not in cluding officers or petty officers) of her Majesty's ship Marlborough, bearing the Admiral's flag, com manded by Lord Frederick H. Kerr, when solid shot were not merely rolled about the decks, but actually cast at one of the mates and some of the warrant officers, and it was not before the dis affected were turned up and addressed by the gal. lent Admiral in person that tranquillity was re stored. He ordered tF em to their respective messes, to put in writing their grievances, and we are in formed that so many and various are the alleged matters of complaiat that scarcely half a dozen had a uniform character. Some complained of inter rupted rest, others of unnecessary duty, and most —taking their cue no doubt from their fellows in the Hero and the Liffey, whose misdeeds seem to have been passed over too lightly—refusal of leave. Some of the ringleaders have been put in irons, and will probably be tried by court-martial at Baja. The Euryalus had left for Palermo. The Argus had arrived at Messina from Andona, where the squa dron, under Rear-Admiral Mundy, from Alexan drift, was look e d f or probably en route to join Ad miral Fanshawe at Palermo. The Cadmus has arrived at Leghorn to relieve the Terrible. The London was cruising off Malta on the 13th August, on which day the Liffey, from England, out thir teen days from Gibraltar, had no t y e t arr i ve d. A marine on board the Hibernia has been tried by , court-martial for an unnatural crime, and con demned to death. The Imperieuse, 51, screw, Capt. R. B. Maguire, left Spithead yesterday under steam, by the west channel, for Portland. The new screw steam frigate Forte, 51 guns, in the fitting basin, Sheerness, has been masted ; she is ordered to be hastened in her fitment as much as possible. Arrogant, 47, scre w f r i gate, at present Te sta tioned in Southampton Water as steam coastguard ship, is ordered to proceed round to Portsmouth, and fit out as senior officer's ship on the Coast of Africa, Capt. W. Edmonstone being transferred to her from the Pearl ; Capt. Borlase, C. 8., of the Dauntless, taking the Pearl. It is also stated that the Dauntless will become steam coastguard ship in Southampton Water. The Arrogant is a remark ably fine and roomy frigate, and was the first or dered to be built for auxiliary steam power. She was constructed from the designs of Mr. Fincham, late Master Shipwright of Portsmouth Dockyard, by the advice of Mr. Sidney Herbert, in 1844, when Secretary to the Admiralty. Her horse-power of engines is 360 (nominal). The Mersey, 40, screw, Capt. Caldwell, C. 8., got under weigh at Spithead yesterday, and proceeded to the trial ground in Stokes' Bay, to test her altered screw according to arrangement ; but after making several runs at the " mile," the trial was deferred until this morning, owing to an insufficient supply of steam. Shortly after the Mersey had again brought up at Spithead Rear-Admiral the Hon. F. Pelham, C. 8., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, paid a visit to the Mersey, having been conveyed to Spithead in the Fire Queen paddle steam tender , Master Commander Paul. The following appointments were made yester• day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. G. R. Fitzgerald, to the Asia ; Henry R. Harris, master, to the Cyclops; B. W. Ley, mate, to the Emerald; and W. E. McGrath, second master, confirmed, to the Curava. NEW FOREIGN OFFICE. A deputation of architects waited on Lord Pal merston by appointment on Wednesday. The gentlemen present were Messrs. Banks Barry, Bell, Broderick (Leeds), Clifto n , Cockereli, Profes. sor Donaldson, Falkener, C. Fowler, jun. , H. B. Garling, l'Anson, Kerr, Lamb, Lo w , M ee , J. W. Papworth, Scoles, Smirke, A.R.A., Thornson, and Watson, with communications of assent to the pro posed step from Messrs. Ashpitel, Bellamy, Coles, Davies, Hesketh, Owen Penrose, Walters (Man chester), and many 'others. The deputation was introduced by Mr. Tim, M.P., who obscrived in limine that he wished It to be known that the present movement and deputa tion had not in any way origiriated with himself or his hon. friend, Mr. Coningham. He then begged his lordship's attention to the gentle men above named, who represented the views of 200 out of 230 architects of this and other countries who had responded to the ap peal of the former Government for competition designs. Before leaving them to speak for them selves he felt at liberty to remark that if the archi tects who had been summoned by Sir B. Hall as Chief Commissioner of Works and Public Buildings before the conditions of competition were drawn out had been consulted as to the choice of a style, then indubitably a Gothic style would not have been adopted ; that the ground of nationality put forward for the Gothic adopted by Mr. Scott was fallacious ; inasmuch as its principal features were to be found in the Lombard-Gothi3 of the early part of the 13th century, combined with the cha racter of the town-halls of Belgium of a much later period, and that if the present case were given as an opportunity for an experiment on a new Gothic style, he should consider it as a most inju dicious step. He succinctly.repeated the chief topics of objection to the Gothic style for the pre sent purpose, such as expense, congruity, light, &c., which he had already made public. Having laid before his lordship cfficial plans of the site, and having explained the actual condition of the loca lity with reference to the expense of the demolition of some of the present buildings (of which, as lie observed, no sufficient explanation could be given • in the House of Commons • without constant and impracticable reference to such plans), Mr. Tite noticed the necessity for character and expression in a public building ; that the destination of an edifice should appear as much as possible upon its face—that a prison should look like a prison, and a palace like a palace. Mr. The gave considerable praise to Somerset-house as originally designed by Sir W. Chambers, and as lately par tially completely by Mr. Pennethorn. He concluded with the expression of his confidence in Mr. Scott's ability, if that gentleman thought it compatible with his position in the profession, to relinquish the style in which he had obtained so high a reputation, and of the desire of himself and deputation as not intending to make any rema) k that should be personal to that gentleman, who was known to almost every one of them. Mr. SMIRKE, A.R.A., was happy to be the medium of expressing the views of the deputation, and not havin g been a competitor he had no griev ance personally on the competition question to be redressed. He was anxious to assist in resisting the efforts of certain dilettanti to push the adoption, not only in public structures, but on all occasions, of- a style that might be not unsuitable for clerical purposes and, though more rarely, for domestic edifices. Fortified in his view of the style to be preferred, by the practice of the architeets at Ber lin, Munich, Paris, and Vienna, Mr. Smirke was glad to find so many architects ready to make known their satisfaction that Lord Palmerston, by his determination, had undertaken to prevent the insertion at the Foreign-office of the thin end of a wedge that would necessarily make way for a mass of Gothic buildings, not only where the new offices were now required, but where old ones had to be removed ; in short, from the Abbey, he supposed, finally to end at Charing-cross, at least. Professor I)ONALDSON felt that the deputation might also express some of the indignation felt by a majority of the competitors and of non-competing architects at the real result of the competition. Not that they were dissatisfied with the decision of the judges who, it would be remembered by his lord ship, had agreed with their professional advisers in placing designs that were not Gothic at the head of the lists of premiums. He condemned the exertions which were made to reverse the effect of those de cisions by some of thedilettanti to whom Mr. Smirke had alluded, and which were rendered nugatory by the committee (of the House of Commons) conse quently appointed, as the committee came to no conclusion. He also laid considerable blame on the Chief Commissioner of Works, &c., as having attacked the integrity of the system of competition, which ought to be founded on the principle that the award of the execution should, wherever possible, follow that of the prize. The Professor eulogised the architects who had decorated, not only the Western portions of the metropolis, but also the city, and who, by their works, had those been re stricted to the designs exhibited at Westminster during the competition, evidenced the fitness of their minds to form an authoritative opinion upon the subject under consideration. He considered that where a Gothic style had been employed in London for buildings intended for business the style had been made to serve as a sort of advertise. ment ; but those were very few, and he urged that if retrogression was to be the snot d'ordre from the public to the architect, then there was no reason shown why that backward step should only reach to the Gothic period. He felt that the choice of a Gothic style for the Palace at Westminster might be defended upon tradition, and begged his Lordship to remember, that the New Foreign-office, if in contiguity with anything, was in close proximity to a number of buildings that were not Gothic, and to one of the gems of European archi tecture, the Banqueting House. Mr. CONINGIIAM, M.P., who had been invited to express his opinion, concurred in the remarks that had been made, which he thought were confirmed by the private edifices of the present time. He re garded the Gothic fashion as a retrogression like pre-Raphaelitism, and hoped that its abettors, find ing that • taste was a question for each individual mind, would be enabled to follow the path already trodden by Gothe and Beckford, who commenced their career of amateurs with a lavish adulation of Gothic, and ended it as admirers of a totally dif ferent style. Referring to the intention of erecting a new Indian-office, the speaker concluded by ex pressing his anxiety that, while adopting the gene ral feature of Italian architects, monotony and uni formity should be avoided at Whitehcll and West minster instead of a variety of eccentricities that are fashion, not taste. Mr. E. B. LAMB begged to add that it was gene rally held as a matter of fact that our art ought to keep itself in advance of the materials of which it avails itself. It was equally a matter of fact that the Gothic style had had a point of excellence, for its time, beyond which it had done nothing. On the contrary, since the time of Henry VIII., the Italian or neo-classic style, had been changing itself so as to accommodate tb.e diversity of climates and the invention of new materials or the improvement of old ones. All these, as they had hitherto been treated, were so many difficulties in the way of the restora tion of a really Gothic school of advanced art. He also insisted that every public buildin g,at the least, should exhibit, in the style employed, one which should not be deprived of any of its leading characteristics. Agreeing with Mr. Tite on the subject of lighting in the opposing styles, he sketched the outcry that would be made if the Palace of Westminster were to be enlivened by the removal of the divisions to its windows, and by similar steps that might render that building as useful as it were in ano ther style. Mr. KERR felt that the laziness of saying that there is no accounting for tastes was not now pos sible in matters of architecture ; and that style was not an accidental arbitrary fashion to be tied up with red tape, but was a parcel of the intellect ; general design, inclusive of architecture, had hitherto exhibited the people-of its period and place; this was true of Gothic work in its own day ; but it was also true of the 15th century, when a new system arose ; which included a new system of art, and necessarily•the branches of art called Italian Architecture. That system, modified considerably, still exists in England;_ that art, mo dified. also considerably, is its true exponent or ac companiment. He considered that the band of ladies and gentlemen, enthusiastic or ;rather ro mantic, who urged the recurrence to Gothic art, had exhibi,ted . ,in some of their va gar i es a little ab sence of common sense. If they urged that it was •to•Gothic'art alone that •they wished to return, Lord Palmerston, who had seem many examples of the temptation to imitate other GOthicism which indulgence-in that line of amusement had created, would know better than to accept 'the apology. The proper style for our public buildings is the style of the present day, not that •of a past age; and if his noble auditor would be guided by a Gothic Foreign-office might arise ; but if he would take the opinion. of men educated to deCide upon such subjects, there could be no doubt that his lordship would build in the modern European fashion. _ Lord PALMERSTON was glad to receive the as surance that trained men of science and judgment approved the course which he-had felt it his duty to pursue.' He Could excuse the mania in some quarters for building Gothic habitations in the country by recollecting that those might be prompted by the vicinity of the Elizabethan manor house, which itself was the successor of the Gothic castle. But in regard to those building Gothic habitations in tqwns, he felt that there were people Who had notionswhich were perfectly out of date. A public office was, in fact, the habitation of the chief and his staff during the day, and he (Lord Palmerston) knew of no style so suitable to an English habitation as the horizontal, or classic, or Italian, or whatever name its branches might have gained. A public building ought to be handsome externally, while convenient in the interior ; and the style which he preferred undeniably gave buildings which combined those qualities. He believed that in the erection of a handsome build ing the style that he preferred all'wed a reasonable economy to be observed internally; the contrary, with regard to Gothic, had been practically taught him at lirestminster and elsewhere. He felt that he had only to repeat the statement made-on a pre vious occasion, viz., that he had so strong an objec tion to the Gothic style for the present purpose that he should think it his duty, in office or other wise to protest against the erection of a building dif ferent from Ord which he saw gave him such grounds for selection ; he could say, in short, that his mind was determined not to have Gothic, but Italian. He might feel satified with his conviction that Mr. Tite's sentiments were correst as to the comparative cost of the opposed styles. Mr. WATSON mentioned the heavy expenditure by Mr. Russell, in Park-lane, the only Gothic dwelling-house in that part of London. Lord PALMERSTON then referred to the cost of the present State Paper-office, which, it appeared, must be pulled down to show Mr. Scott's park front, and which it was stated was stated was £40,000. He also entered into conversation with the deputation as to the congruity, styles, condition, &c., of the buildings existing in the locality of the Foreign • office. Mr. Henry Bayley Garling; of No. 11, King's road, Gray's-inn, and Messrs. Bankes and Barry, as chief prizemen in the late competition, were introduced to his lordship's notice, and Mr. TITE having thanked his lordship for his reception of the deputation and the stand he had made to carry out their views, the deputation with drew. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. HERTFORD. Yesterday the nomination of candidates to supply the vacancy in the representation of Hert ford, caused by the Right Hon. W. F. Cowper ac cepting the office of Vice-President of the Board of Trade, took place in front of the Town-hall, in tho presence of Mr. Henry Squire, the Mayor (a mem ber of the Society of Friends), and a large con course of the principal inhabitants, together with a number of the neighbouring gentry and their fami lies. Mr. Cowper has, of course, presented him self to the constituency for re-election, but he has been unexpectedly Sand stoutly opposed, in the Conservative interest, by Mr. hobert Dimsdale, a gentleman of property residing at Essendee, in the immediate vicinity, and an extremely close contest being waged between the two. The pretensions of Mr. Dimsdale are said to receive countenance from the Marquis of Salisbury, who has considerable property in the borough, though, of course, a noble man stands aloof from an - election contest; and the near relationship of Mr. Cowper to the Premier, and the right lion. gentleman's own share in oust ing Lord Derby from office, are presumed to be the motives which have provoked an opposition but seldom shown towards the se-election of a man who accepts an office under the Crown, and which in this case assumes the appearance of an act of political revenge. Lord Raynham, M.P. Mr. Lysley, M.P., Mr. Abel Smith, M.P-, and Mr. St. Aubyn wore among the gentlemen on the hustings or in close proximity to them ; and the Baroness Dimsdale, three of the daughters of Lord Coirper, Lady Elizabeth St. Aubyn, Lady Audrey Towns bend, and Mrs. R. Dimsdale witnessed the cere mony from the windows in the vicinity. Mr. B. YOUNG, a brewer in Hertford, and Mr. CRAWLEY, a coachmaker, nominated Mr. Cowper; and Mr. Dimsdale was introduced to the electors by Mr. CURTIS, a solicitor, and Mr. T. SMITH, an architect. Mr. COWPER then stood forward to address the electors, and was greeted with cheers. He said --ordinarily at contested elections there was some great question of stirring interest, something that quickened the pulsations of the country, on which a public man might venture to express his senti ments before a constituency; but the present occa sion was wholly different, for we had arrived at a time when Parliament had been dissolved, when, to borrow a military phrase, political parties had gone into winter quarters for six months, and when a little skirmish in the town of Hertford was not likely to have any great effect an the general cam paign. (A laugh.) He felt a difficulty to know on what topic to address them. They did not ex pect that he should tell them anything of the policy of the Gover nmen t w hi c h h e h a d lately joined. Having immediately on coming into office to take the necessary steps and to call on the House of Commons to vote the requisite supplies for putting our shores in a state of defence calculated to resist any hostile invasion, they had not time or oppor tunity to propound any scheme of general policy. For himself lie might say lie had taken office under the conviction that the present Government would carry to a successful result those principles of which he had ever been a consistent supporter. (Cheers.) Born and bred in a family which had always main tained Whig principles ever since the Whig party had existed—(cheers)—he had invariably advocated those principles from conviction during his whole public life, Those principles involved the recog nition and extension of civil and religious freedom, based the public good on individual rights and on individual conscience, and aimed. not at favour ing any one class at the expense of another, but of combining all in one general harmonious union with the view to secure the public wel fare. (Cheers.) The repeal of the corn laws, the extension of free trade, the abolition of all disabilities affecting Dissenters, and efforts made for improving the moral and educational con dition of the working classes, were the trophies to which the party with whom he had constantly acted could point. (Cheers.) In the present day we had no great struggle for political rights; that battle had been well fought and well won—(cheers) —but we had the great task before us of diffusing comfort, intelligence, and happiness more widely among all classes:in the empire. He had done what power to assist Lord Shaftesbury and laymenin his like him in the efforts they had made to apply the true principles of political legislation to the re duction of labour where it was excessive, to the improvement of the dwellings of the labouring ' classes, and to the augmentation of the means and facilities for education. The question of Parlia mentary reform was no doubt still pending, Rar, hear.) He had always maintained that th e f uture ' Reform Bill ought to proceed on the principles de veloped in the Act of 1832. One object of that measure was to extend the franchise to every man who had such a stake in the country as was likely to afford a guarantee for its proper exercise ; and now that education h a d been dif used. more widely, and that comfort and independence had reached a lower grade than i n 1832 he was of opinion the franchise ought t o be lowered hd so as to meet happier state of thi ngs which a since supervened.m The gentle man who receded him had 'complained that, altho ug h he (Mr. Cowper) had support ed es, there liberal measures, was one liberal measu re he had not supported, and that was Lord Derby's 1 Reform Bill. (A laugh.) He was not surprised that a g en tl eman , by conviction a Tory of the old school, should have such a very imperfect notion of i a liberal measure.

It was true he.was not unseated by 'an elec tion committee, for he did not care to confront one, ' but he vacated his seat by accepting the Chiltern Hundreds, and so got over the diffi cu lty. (Laughter and upro.lr.) Did his friend in the • crowd want another case ? If so, there was that of Dr. Michell, recently member for:13011min ; -He was not turned out ozi an election petition, for he was too shrewd to go into the committee room.; but it ' was generally rumoured that there were acts of bribery in that case so manifest that people in the secret wers.not surprised that Dr: Michell, instead. ' of undergoing the ordeal of a Parliamentary in quiry, though it more prudent to accept the Stewardship , of the Chiltern Hundreds, and to • allow his opponent to be returned at a fresh elec tion unopposed. ,(A laugh.) Again, there was the case of a gentleman who was proved to hatOcorn mitted bribery—he meant .the member for' 'Hull. (Shouts of " No, no !" and uproar.) He begged • pardon; it was his agent who was proved to have done so. (Renewed uproar.) 'All that. he (Mr. • Cowper) knew , of the matter was that the committee had unseated Mr. Hoare, and he would withdr: w the expression which had given offence. The right hon; gentleman-proceeded to say that the- reform he . was desirous of. seeing carried 0 - bould be - based on the principles recognised in the measure of 1832—namely, 'the extension of the franchise and the abolition of rotten boroughs. After a passing reference to the independence and 'public spirit with which the electors of Hertford, as a body, had exercised their' political privilege and resisted landlord influence, 'which he denounced in indignant terms—adding that his family had held house property in the boroUgh for many years, and he defied any man to say that any ,ilfae of them had ever attempted to coerce or in the • slightest degree interfere with an elector in the` exercise of his franchise=he said - he - Wanted to know why, on the present occasion, he had been met with this opposition from Mr. Dimsdale ? It was generally thought to be an unfair thing to op pose the re-election of a man who had accepted an office under the Crown, unless for some definite reason, such as that of having failed to fulfil pro mises previously made to his constituents, and so incurring their disapprobation. He knew that on the formation of Lord Derby's Government the rule of generous forbearance was adhered to by the Liberal party. (No, no.) In proof of that he cited the course parsued with reference to Sir E. B. Lytton on that occasion, when the seatof that dis tinguished member of the Conservative party for Hertfordshire was supposed to be somewhat in jeo pardy. Mr. Dimsdale in his address to the consti tuency said we had reached a peculiar conjuncture. He (Mr. Cowper) thought in some respects it was very peculiar—(a laugh) ; but he did not quite see the peculiarity in the light which Mr. Dimsdale did. (A laugh.) He found fault with- him (Mr. Cowper) for having voted in favour of the motion of a want of confidence in Lord Derby ; but did not he (Mr. Cowper) tell them from the hustings at the gene ral election he would oppose Lord Derby, and would l it have been honest in him to have done other wise? (Cheers.) He stiggestea-that Mr. Dimsdale, in urging his'desire to suppart Lord Derby and his Government , as the motive -for contesting the repre sentation of Hertford on this occasion, was a day behind the fair. The right hon. gentleman con tinned at -some length and in a playful spirit to ' criticise thioprinted address of his opponent, and to vindicate the present Government from the charge of being constituted of heterogeneous elements, coa -1 tending that. the Whig party from the earliest times had ever been made up of those elements, and that therein lay its strength and vitality. He con cluded by expressing his conviction that the result of the_poll would be to place him again in the proud , position of their representative. Mr. DIMSDA LE next :addressed the meeting, but amid frequent :interruptions from the crowd below. He said he had entertained for a considerable period the expectation of representing Hertford in Parlia ment, closely connected as he was with the - town, and taking a deep interest in its welfare. He de nied that there was aught unfair in his coming forward on this occasion to contest the representa tion, seeing that it was a principle of the constitu tion that when a gentleman accepted an office under the Crown he was bound to appeal to his constitu ents to see whether or no they would endorse his appointment. (Cheers.) • He opposed Mr. Cowper on this occasion because he disapproved the part he took in ejecting, Lord Derby from office, and that on grounds which he . (Mr. Dimsdale) thought factions. Adverting to the question or PariNtuuntsery rofiypn, he said -.14.1 pro posed by Lord Derby's Goverdniciit Was - the only ono since that of 1852 which had gone so far as the motion for a second reading. He con mented upon the extraordinary number of Liberal members who had been unseated for bribery on petition as the best practical answer to the thou sand absurd tales about the fabulous sums of money spent by . the Carlton Club for purposes of corrup tion during the last general election, with which the public were familiar; and he pointed to the circumstance of Taunton, which in 1852 returned two Liberal members, being now represented by two Conservatives, as an indication of the reaction now going on in the country in favour of Conserva tive principles. He expressed himself in favour of a £6 franchise in boroughs, as a means of admit- ting the elite of the working classes to the privi lege of voting, and of the abolition of the paper duty, which stood in the way of their enlighten ment. Speaking of church-rates, he held that if Parliament did not speedily bring that long-vexed question to a settlement, the church-rates would repeal themselves. He would have Churchmen pay the rates, and let the Dissenters go free—(a laugh) —but he would exclude the Dissenters from all share in the management of parochial affairs. Ho concluded by saying he had embarked\in this con test from no unfriendly feeling to Mr. Cowper, but on public grounds, and he appealed to the consti tuency for their suffrages freely in the great interests of political justice and political truth. (Cheers). The MAYOR then took a show of hands, which he decided to be in favour of Mr. Ditnsdale ; and, a poll having been demanded on behalf of Mr. pow per it w a athe was arranged cus t customary houn to commence this (Friday) morning HULL. A vacancy has been caused in the representation of this borough by the unseating of Mr. J. Hoare (C onser vative) by a select comolittee of the House of Commons. There are two candidates in the field—Mr. Harvey Lewis (Liberal), who was the unsuccessful candidate at the last election, and Mr. J. Somes (Conservative). The contest is expected to be a severe one. The nomination will take place to-day, and the polling to-morrow. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EASTERN COUNTIES.

Hitherto the continental demand for gold has been fed by nulls: aal supplies each week from New York, while Russia also, pend ing the negotiation of her loan, has b e.en obliged to despatch to us considerable sums.
