It has been for some years past a matter of notoriety that British and Irish linen manufactures, and also manufacturers of hempen goods, ha ve materially suffered from a deficie n t supply of flax and hemp. This state of deficient supply arises from the fact that the cultivation of flax in Great Britain has materially decreased instead of increased with the growing requirements of our linen manufactures. Our national com mercial statistics show that, out of 150,000 tons of flax annu ally consumed in the United Kingdom, not more than 50,000 tons are of home growth. In addition-to this•enormous im portation of flax for our linen manufactures, we have also im ported hundreds of thousands of quarters of linseed every year for home consumption. The linen manufacturers of the:United Kingdom have de- Cared that they are ready to take any quantity which can be grown at home, and at such prices as will be more remu nerative to the agriculturist than the u sua l produce of h is lands. The promoters of the National Flax Company are prepared to prove to the agriculturists of this country that no more profitable crop can be cultivated than that of flax, whenever their system of rettories, and improved mechanical treatment of flax fibre, shall be adopted in the localities of its growth. The main feature of the Company's plan is, that it will take the trouble of preparing the flax for market entirely off the hands of the grower, by becoming the purchase rs of the crop, and thus leaving the grower entirely free from the hazards of bad harvesting weather, and at the same time ensuring him a Certain handsome profitable return for all the flax he can produce and deliver to the Company's depots and rettories. The Conipany's operations will also embrace the whole of the requisite processs of preparing the flax and similar fibrous substances ready for the spinner. The system of preparation adopted by this Company is the subject of a patent, the invention of Mr. George Albemarle Cater, a gentleman who has made the cultivation of flax and its preparation for the spinner his. especial study for many years past, he having fully demonstrated the great economy of labour and the very great improvement of the quality of the flax fibre, which is the result of his improved system of flax preparation. The system will be found fully detailed in the "E , x :p l anatory Pamphlet on Fl ax :C ultivation and Prepa ration, to be had free from the Secretary of the Company theand its agents ; in which will also be found an exposition of n eat importance of the hom e cu l t i vation of flax, as in g a regular supply of raw material to the very impor tant national manufacture of linen and hempen goods ; half stuff for papermakers ; and of the importance of the seed for linseed oil and oilcake. As an example of the intended operations of the Company, the following is quoted from the full prospectus of the Com pany : By rettories will be understood establishments where the preparation of flax fibre from the raw plant for the spinner and manufacturer will be carried out through all its stages. It is estimated that two rettories, on the scale proposed as the base of operations, will require eight patent machines, and if constantly at work for, say, 309 days in the year, will produce annually 1,200 tons of flax fibre, 7,500 quarters of linseed, and 900 tons of t ows; and, allowing £5O per ton to be obtained for the flax fibre, 565. per quarter for the lin seed, and £5 per ton for the tows, there is a gross yield of £85,500. Assuming that it will take as much as 10 tons of flax straw tinseeded to produce one ton of flax fibre, at a cost of £4 per ton. and £lB per ton of' fibre for all expenses, the total outlay 'will be £69,000, lea v i ng a balance to be divided of £15,900 , or nearly 30 per cent. upon £55,000 (the cost of the buildings, plant, and machinery, together with a sufficient working capital for two rettories), which is wholly irrespective of the dividend that may be expected from license dues from other t te e n tt d o_ries- and, as the operations of the Company are ex „,,,,e - u, the dividends will be in proportion. eatabliagi ~oi'l,n,digeeriar advantages of Selby, in Yorkshire, and the sur ax-growing districts, have decided the Company on ne• their first rettory in that neighbourhood.

To'THE LIVERY AND ELECTORS OF THE CITY.OF GENTLEMEN, H ER MAJESTY'S MINISTERS having de termined to dissolve the present House of Commons. I hasten to solicit for the fourth time a renewal of your confi dence, by my election as one of your Representatives in the new Parliament. The intended dissolution is occasioned by an adverse deci sion upon a measure introduced by Government, under the name' of a "Bill to amend the laws relating to the Represen tation of. the People in England and Wales ;" and though some of its provisions appeared to me to be deserving of favourable consideration, yet as it negatived the reduction of the,bormigh franchise, and in other respects fell far short of the Absolute requirements of reform, I felt it a duty to record my vote in favour of Lord John Russell's Resolution, which had the effect of defeating the Bill. The question is now in the hands of the people, and it rests with them to prove to Parliament how far they are in earnest on the vital subject of electoral reform. Trusting that I shall receive from you a proof of the undi minished confidence so generously extended to me at the last election, you may rely upon 'a 'consistent and independent course of action on my part upon the question of Parliamen tary Reform,, and all other measures likely to advance the social and political progress of the people and to nphold the honour and welfare of the country. Jily votes upon the Abolition of Church Rates, the Ballot, and all other great questions, are before you for upwards of 20 years • and believing that my fellow-citizens approve of my public conduct as their Representative, and are well satis fied with my attention to all the local interests of this great city, I venture to look forward to the result of the approach ing election with entire confidence in the continued favour and support of the Livery and Electors ; at the same time deeply regretting the inconvenience and injury which I fear their trade may sustain bythe dissolution of Parliament at the present moment. • Tuesday received Tptian), ports, in [rs. oats, of flour. season. market lur little be noted railway pie busi- Beans to buy.

BIRMINGHAM. Messrs. Bright and Scholefield have issued their addresses to the electors of Birmingham. The walls of the town have been placarded with the words " Layard for Birmingham," but we believe that there is at present no prospect of any real opposition to Messrs. Bright and Scholefield's return. AYLESBURY. Sir Richard Bethell retires from the representa tion of this composite borough in favour of Mr. Wentworth, who recently married a daughter of Lord Clanricarde. BATH. One of the most numerous and exciting meetings that have been held in 'Bath for many years took place on Thursday evening at the Guildhall. It was convened by the Liberal Association for the pur pose of nominating candidates for the representation of the city. The present members, Sir Arthur Elton, Bart., and Mr. Wm. Tite, were on the plat form. The former, in consequence of voting for the Ministry on the Reform Bill, was received with loud hisses and expressions of disapprobation ; but the appearance of Mr. Tite was the signal for loud and continued cheering. Sir ARTHER ELTON endeavoured to address the assembly, but the uproar was so great that at least a quarter of an hour elapsed before he could obtain a hearing. Mr. TITS then addressed the assembly and ob tained a most favourable reception. He described the Government Reform Bill as a very liberal measure for a Tory Government to bring forward, but unfortunately it shut out the freemen of towns from voting in counties, and it handed over those counties which were usually free into the hands of the landlords. Mr. GEORGE NORMAN then moved that Mr. Tite was a fit and proper person to represent the city of Bath. Mr. EDWARD SAUNDERS seconded the motion, which on being put to the meeting was carried almost unanimously. Mr. GEO. EDWARDS then proposed a resolution, nominating Mr. Thomas Phinn, Q.C., which was seconded by Sir Henry Bayly. Major BAKER then proposed Mr. Arthur Edwin Way, of Ashton Lodge. Mr. Musom seconded the motion. Mr. PHINNT next addreed the meeting at great length, though at first he ss had great difficulty in obtaining a hearing. The names of Mr. Phinn and Mr. Way were then put to the meeting, when there was a very large majority for Mr. Phinn. The proceedings then closed. UNATTACHED.

John Wise and Geo rge Edward Webster, coopers) New ~~ „s' PRICE 4D . STAMPED, SD. Conservative interest.. The hon. gentleman de clined at first to come forward, but h e h as j ust re considered his determination and issued an address, in which he states that he is prepared to give a general support to Lord Derby. The other Conservative candidate, Mr. J. W. Perry Wallington, offers himself in conjunction with Mr. Bramston. On the other side, Mr. B. B. (Wingfield) Baker has issued an elaborate address, and there seems .to be an impression that Mr. Charles Buxton, at present M.P. for Newport, will also be brought forward as a Liberal candidate. Mr. (Wingfield) Baker expresses in his address op position to church-rates, as tending to destroy peace and harmony in parishes, and declares that a solution of the question can only be found in " the zeal and Christian spirit which restores ancient fabrics and raises new ones." EXETER. Mr. Richard Sommers Gard, the present Conser vative candidate, has issued an address to the electors, announcing his i n t en ti on t o o ff er hi mself for re-election, and in which he expresses his approval of the policy of Lord Derby's Government. FLINTSHIR E. The Hon. T. E. Mostyn again solicits re-election for the county of Flint. HARWICH. The state of things in this borough has under gone a change. Mr. R. J. Bagshaw, the sitting Liberal member, has expressed his determination to retire, and four candidates are now in the field, —the Hon. Mr. Campbell and J. C. Marshman, Liberals ; and Captain Jervis and Mr. Richard Thomas Rowley. All parties are" prosecuting an active canvass, and the struggle will be a very severe one. HEREFORD (CITY). There will be no opposition to the return of the two Liberal members, Colonel Clifford and Mr. G. Clive. BERWICK. Two new candidates have offered themselves as representatives for this ancient border town. They are both Conservatives—Capt. Gordon and Mr. Ralph A. Erie (private secretary to Mr. Disraeli). The two Liberal members, Mr. Marjoribank s an d Mr. Stapleton, offer themselves for re-election. BEVERLEY. The Hon. W. H. F. Denison (Liberal) retires from this boroupol, and offers himself for Sear borou,gh. Mr. H. Edwards (Conservative) offers himself for re-election. A second Conservative candidate has been found in the person of Mr. J. R. Walker. BEwmgy AND STOURPORT. Sir Thomas Winnington is canvassing these boroughs. BODMIN. Mr. James Wyld has issued his address to the electors. DROITWICH. The following address has been issued by Sir John Pakington " The present Parliament will shortly be dissolved, and I hope that you will again do me the honour to elect me as your representative. This is the eighth time that I have sought the honour at your hands ; the last occasion was little more than a year ago, w h en I accepted the arduous office which I now hold. At that time the Earl of Derby, in obedience to the commands of his Sovereign, had formed an Administration with the full knowledge that he was in a decided minority in the existing House of Commons. As members of the Government we therefore felt from the outset, that, whenever the discordant) sections opposed to us thought fit to combine in a hostile vote, we should be •placed in a position which would make it our duty either to resign our offices or to advise a dissolution of Parliament. The adoption of one of these two courses has now been forced upon us by a motion which has, in my opinion, done , little credit either to the statesmen who devised it, or to the majority by whichit was supported. At a moment of great public difficulty—at a time when a firm attitude on the part of England is essential to the maintenance of peace in Europe—at a time when the House of Commons was pledged to give " calm and impartial consideration" to the great subject of Parliamentary Reform, the leaders of the Opposition have thought it consistent with their duty even to refuse to consider a Reform Bill, and have preferred to make that bill an excuse for a factious motion and a party attack. We do not complain that our Reform Bill was opposed; our complaint is, that the men who professed to dislike the mea sure did not dare to meet it with open, straightforward op position. Their manoeuvre, so far as the division was con cerned, has been successful, and her Majesty's Ministers have felt it to be their duty to advise an appeal to the con stituencies. The issue to be decided is simple and intel• ligible. On the one hand, moderate reform and progressive improvement; on the other, an unsettled policy, too likely to end in democratic innovation and revolutionary change. I trust the decision will be such as to enable some party to carry on the Government of the country. These annual changes and incessant party struggles are injurious to our national interests. They impede useful legislation at home, they impair our power and influence abroad, and they throw doubt and discredit on our institutions. For myself, I only desire to be enabled, by your kind support, to continue the same course of public conduct which I have so long main tained. I have never entertained extreme opinions. I am, and always have been, willing to concede any just claim of the working classes; and it shall be my endeavour, if once more intrusted with your confidence, to fulfil with honour and fidelity all the duties I may undertake, whether they be those of a Minister of the Crown or o f an i ndependent member of the House of Commons." There is no probability of any opposition to Sir John's return for the eighth time. DURHAM (SOUTH). Mr. H. Pease issued his address to the electors yesterday. ESSEX (NORTH)., The Conservatives have not yet finally matured their arrangements here. Lieutenant-Colonel S. B. Ruggles Brise some time since issued an ad dress, announcing his intention to come forward in the Conservative interest ; and as the sitting mem bers, Mr. C. Du Cane and the Right Hon. W. Beresford, are both Consetvatives, there are three candidates for two seats. Probably, however, matters will be adjusted in due course. Mr. Du Cane has lost no time in issuing an address to the electors. The Liberals have as :yet made no public move ment in this constituency. ESSEX (SOUTH). Mr. T. W. Bramston has, after all, consented to be again put in nomination for South Essex, in the HEREFORDSHIRE. Sir Henry Cotterell, the Liberal member for this county, has issued an address. The gentlemen named as the probable Liberal candidates for the county are,—Mr. Mildmay, nephew of Lord Ashburton; Mr. Chandos Wren Hoskyns ; Mr. G. H. Bengough, of the Ridge, Gloucestershire ; the Hon. Mr. Twisleton, brother to Lord Saye and Sele ; and Colonel Romilly. HEItTFORDSHIRE. Mr. Abel Smith, after a retirement of two years, has signified his intention to offer himself as a can didate at the ensuing election as an independent Conservative. KENDAL. Mr. Crlyn comes forward again for this borough upon the requisition of the electors. Ho has issued his address. There will be no opposition. KNARESBOROUGH. The present :members for this borough, Mr. T. Collins and Mr. B. 'r Woodd (Conservatives) have issued addresses. A movement has been made by the Liberals, who have determined to ask Mr. H. S. Thompson, chair man of the North-Eastern Railway Company, and Mr. Farside Watson, barrister, Whitby, to become candidates. LANCASHIRE (SOUTH). An influential meeting of the Liberal freeholders of South Lancashire was held at Newall's-buildings, Manchester, yesterday afternoon,—Mr. George - Wilson in the chair,—to receive a deputation from Liverpool respecting the future representation of the county. A resolution, to the effect that Mr. T. P. Heywood, banker, Liverpool, and Mr. John Cheetham, one of the present members, were fit and proper candidates for the representation of South Lancashire, was proposed and carried unani mously. LAMBETH. Mr. Williams having announced that it is not his intention to offer himself as a candidate at the ensuing election, Mr. F. Doulton has put forward an address on the same principles advocated by the present members. LEOMINSTER:. The two Conservative members, Mr. Gathorne Hardy and the Hon. C. S. B. Hanbury, have al ready commenced their canvass, incited to vigorous action by the rumour that the seat will be contested by Mr. Wilde, Q.C., who, however, has not yet made his appearance. An address has been issued by Mr. Hardy, who was sent down expressly by his party to expound the Government policy, and animadvert upon the conduct of the Liberal party. LINCOLN. Major Sibthorp and Mr. Heneage, the sitting members, are soliciting the votes of the electors. Mr. Hinde Palmer, the son-in-law of the Right Hon. C. T. D'Eyncourt, and who contested this city on the last occasion, is again a candidate, on the ballot and other advanced liberal opinions. Mr. Palmer is prosecuting his canvass with all the success which his position on the former poll and his popularity at Lincoln led him to expect. The Liberal party are sanguine of success. LONDON. Requisitions are in course of signature to Lord Stanley and Mr. Thomas Baring. Lord Stanley is invited to offer himself for the City of London, as "a man of high position, influence, and indepen dence," and Mr. Baring is requested. to become a candidate, " because it is of the utmost importance that a gentleman of high standing in the mercan tile world should represent the interests of the city of London in Parliament." MAIDSTONE. The Conservative party have brought• forward Mr. Egerton V. Harcourt, son of the late Archbishop of York, and Mr. J. Wardlaw, of Langdon, near Maldon, Essex, to fill the places of Mr. Beresford Hope, who has become a candidate for the Univer sity of Cambridge, and Major Scott, who does not intend to offer himself for re-election. Both of the above gentlemen have issued addresses to the elec tors. Mr. W. Lee, the Liberal candidate, is actively and successfully prosecuting his canvass, and there is little doubt another candidate will be brought forward on the same side. MALDON. In the address of Mr. T. S. Weston to the electors of Maldon, he says that Lord Derby's Government, having failed in their attempt to tamper with the representation of the people, h ave appea l e d to the country, but have misrepresented the issue to be tried—Reform. In his opinion the principles at stake are those of liberty and progress, and to save them from an insidious attack he spoke and voted for Lord John Russell's resolution. The assault on the borough of Maldon contemplated by the Govern ment bill was not the least wanton feature in it. Whatever redistribution of seats may be called for by the growth of population elsewhere, it is not at Maldon, with a constituent body of 1,071 electors, that any disfranchisement is justifiable. MONMOUTHSHIRE. Mr. Octavius Morgan, brother of Sir Charles Morgan, Bart., has just issued an address, announc ing his intention to come forward for re-election. MONMOUTHSHIRE BOROUGHS. Mr. Crawshay Bailey announces that he shall again solicit the suffrages of the electors. NEWARK. Lord Lincoln has issaed an address to the elec tors, solicting re-election. He states that he voted against the resolution of Lord J. Russell, because he was of opinion that the Government measure might have formed the basis of a satisfactory set tlement of an anxious question, if the house had consented to allow the bill to be considered in com mittee. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE (NORTH). Lord Burghley, who is at present detained in town upon a Parliamentary committee, has issued an address. Mr. George Ward Hunt, the other member for this division of the county, has also issued an address. NOTTINGHAM._ Several efforts to induce Mr. Nicholl, jun., o f Manchester t o r econsider his determi na ti on not to allow himself to be nominated in the Liberal in terest have failed. Another meeting of the heads of the Liberal party was held last night. The meet ing, which was very numerously attended, decidel by a large majority in favour of Mr. Mellor, Q.C., who was subsequently introduced and addressed the electors at considerable length. OXFORD (UNIVERSITY). We are requested to state that Sir W. Heathcote L--.•z_ 2 ~' { a' . RADNOR BOROUGHS. Sir George Cornewall Lewis has just issued an address to the electors, who ask only for the honour to return him, and would not dream of• electing anybody else so long as he is willing •to serve them. WESTMINSTER. Requisitions, of which the following is a copy, are in course of signature in different parts of the city and liberty of Westminster : " We, the undersigned electors of Westminster, having ascertained that y our health is sufficiently restored to en able you to resume your duties in the House of Commons, and believing that your principles relative to the duration of Parliament, the extension of the franchise, the vote by ballot, and the abolition of Church-rates, are in accordance with our own views and opinions, earnestly invite you to become a candidate for the representation of Westminster at the election about t o t a k e place. Should you consent, it will be our object to promote your return by every legiti mate means in our power, Without requiring you to take any personal part beyond appearing on the hustings on the day of nomination. We shall ourselves record our votes in your favour without putting you to expense; an d we s h a ll solicit our brother electors to act in a similar manner, feel ing assured that we best secure the independent action of our representatives in Parliament by electing them free from any other cost or expenditure than the legal charges of the returning officer. " Thomas Wakley, Esq., Coroner for Middlesex, and lately M.P. for the Borough of Finsbury." WHITBY. Mr. Robert Stephenson has signified his inten tion to offer himself for re-election. No opposition is anticipated. WOLVERHAMPTON. The meeting of the committee of Messrs. Thornely and Villiers, held on Thursday evening, having had Mr. Thornely's resignation placed before it, deter mined to invite Mr. Bernal Osborne to allow himself to be put in nomination as his successor. This was done after other names had been brought forward and discussed. These were Mr. Joseph Childers, not long since a Chancellor of the Exchequer in an Australian Legislature ; Sir Richard Bethell; anti Mr. Hastings, so well known in connection with the social science movement. The first and the last-named have been in the town. The choice, however, seemed to lie between Mr. Osborn© and Sir Richard ; but those gentlemen who seemed more disposed in favour of Sir Richard gave way to the larger number, who were supporters of Mr. Osborne, and a despatch was therefore forwarded to that gentleman. It having become known that Mr. B. Osborne declined to offer himself, the meet. ing passed resolutions in support of Sir It. Bethell. ABERDEEN. Col. Sykes stands again for the city of Aberdeen, and is not likely to be opposed. Tue colonel had twice received the unanimous thanks of his consti tuents for his conduct as their representative in Parliament. BANFFSHIRE. Mr. Duff Gordon is likely to be returned without opposition. DUNDEE. Sir John Ogilvy has issued an address to the electors, offering himself for re-election.

The general impression is that there will not be a contest. NEI-. S PAPE R 4, t 1 d1V 91. - 2s no intention of retiring Utile •••• of the University.

Mr. Moncreiff has issued an address to the elec tors of Edinburgh, in which, after requesting their suffrages, he adds : "The principles of political government which I av always held and on which I have endeavoured to act, are those which have contributed so much to make Edinburgh famous, and which Edinburgh had done so much to pro mote. I can aspire to no higher honour than that of being chosen to maintain those principles as your representative in Parliament." ELGIN BURGHS. Mr. Grant Duff, the present member, is the only candidato in the field. INVERNESS-SHIRE. Sir James Matheson stands again, and is in all probability to walk the course. There is no prospect, in the meantime, of any opposition to Mr. Matheson, the member for the Inverness burghs. LEITH BURGHS. A communication was received on Thursday from Mr. Robertson Gladstone, delining the invitati on to stand for these b urg h s . The same day the Liberal Conservatives held a meeting, at which a letter was read f rom M r. T. W. enderson, of London, who contested the burghs in 1852, signi fying his intention of again becoming a candidate. A meeting of Mr. Miller's supporters was held in the evening. LINLITHGOW (COUNTY OF). As the Lord Advocate, Mr. Charles Baillie, who was elected for this county only two months ago, is to be elevated to the Scottish bench, to fill the vacancy caused by Lord Murray's death, the field is left clear in this county. Captain Walter Hamil ton has been spoken of as his probable successor, and it is not likely that the county will be con tested with the Conservatives. MONTROSE BURGHS. Mr. Baxter has addressed his constituents, and is visiting the burghs. He is not likely to b• opposed. PERTH. The Hon. Arthur Kinnaird has issued an address offering himself for re-election. BELFAST. Sir H. M. Cairns, her Majesty's Solicitor-General, has issued an address to the electors of Belfast, con taining an elaborate defence of the policy of Lord Derby's Government. After reminding them that it is somewhat, more than a year since, on the occa sion of his taking office under the Crown, that they renewed to him the high trust of representing them in Parliament, he proceeds as follows : " I may be allowed to glance back at the course of public affairs during the interval which has since elapsed. There has seldom been a period during which so many questions affecting the psace of Europe and our own friendly relations with foreign Powers have presented themselves for solution. In the solution of these questions the national honour has been maintained ,• the inestimable blessing of peace has been preserved ; and this country, by the firm and conciliatory course adopted, occupies at this moment the place of me diator between those great European Powers where mis understanding has arisen. The Home Government of India has been placed upon a new, and I hope a wise and perma nent basis. The great Indian rebellion has, under God'a blessing, been extinguished. Means have been taken to promote the internal improvement of India, and to disen tangle and amend her intricate system of finance. The de fences of the country have been completed ; the efficiency of our army and navy has been increased ; and yet, not only has there been no sensible addition to public burdens, but those reductions in taxation which the public were led to expect have taken place. Measures of social improvement and progress of the greatest importance, and affectin every part of the kingdom, have been introduced and ve carried. Law reforms, long desired and long negleeted ba h ttn by been f eronethnets pro posed,foafctntehinratMtliao- and have been accepted with app wi of th i° a v n er i j i lin dviTit t .ag h e av to e all parties.

In Irelan d administered the public service which will bear comparison with any to our native country with firmness and impartiality; an d the public measures d e e n p e a rg rt y me a n n t d s that the development of her resources is to be looked upon proposed with regard as an Imperial question, and judged of in n o narrow or n i ggar dly spirit. Gentlemen, refer to these matters, not in any spirit of boasting, but because of their bearing on the subject now before you. Her Maje s ty' s Government, in order to meet expectations which had often been raised and often disappointed, introduced into the House of Com mons a Bill to amend the present law of Parliamentary representation. On the details of a bill on so great a sub ject there would naturally arise much difference of opinion, and many alterations of those details might fairly be looked for in the passage of the bill through the house. It was open to the opponents of the Government either to propose specific alterations in those details, or to urge the rejection of the bill altogether. The course, however, which was taken was, if not irregular, almost unprecedented. A small combination of statesmen, avowing their desire to con demn both the bill and the Government, proposed and Carried a resolution framed in a manner so vague and ingenious as to obtain the votes of many members who—differing from the proposers of the resolution—desired to promote the bill and to maintain the Government. I ven ture to think that the course thus taken was an unpatriotic course—that it tends to bring Parliamentary warfare into discredit—and that it will not be atproved by the country. The result, however, of this vote renders it impossible that the Government of the country can be carried on without an appeal to the constituencies, made by means of a disso lution of Parliament. The question on that appeal is narrow one, as to the particular provisions of a Reform B i ll It 11 It is the much greater question whether a Govern public pub earnestly and successfully endeavouring to conduct *t the affairs with advantage, is to be supported agai •ni that agreement fac tious movements of those who are Withou t another and union which would enable them to f orm Go vernment in its place." The hon. hon. and learned gentleman co ncludes by Belfast for the c ourtesy . t have extended to him, and s o hey ing the electors of re-elect op their hands.
