MONEY MARKET A JD C ' O7,IIVIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE', CITY, Two O'CLOCK. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there was less animation, and prices slightly declined. The sales were estimated at from 2,000 to 3,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and the values of all the leading stocks improved. There is still a moderate demand for discouut accommodation, but a general complaint is still made of the continued inactivity of business. Although it remains in a quiet state, symptoms of improvement are nevertheless manifested, and had it not been for the uneasiness produced by political events a further amendment would in all proba bility have been experienced. The commer cial advices from India and America are quite as favourable as could have been expected, a partial recovery having taken place in both countries. In the United States money had become exceed ingly abundant and easy, but the return of confi dence, after the severe crisis of last autumn, must necessarily be very gradual ; and, although few transactions are now concluded, when compared with Reiner periods, there is some satisfaction in knowing that they are all of a bona fide character, and untainted by any speculative toudenoy. In India, the success which has attended the sup pression of the revolt appears to have reassured the public mind there, and the import markets, which have for some months remained in a stag nant state, again exhibit some signs of ameliora tion. From Australia the intelligence is less en couraging, and no improvement in that direction can be anticipated until the excessive stocks of merchan dise in MelbourneandSydney are diminished. It the accounts from the two former places, however, continue to report a steady improvement, they will produce a favourable influence upon commercial affairs here, especially if money remains easy. The utmost caution is observed in all transactions, and the mercantile public, it is hoped, will take warn ing from the past and henceforward shun the per nicious system of credit which, during the late panic, was proved to have been almost universally adopted. When political affairs have settled down into a quieter state, and it is seen that the members of the new a dministration are fit for the situations to which they have been elevated, there is every reason to expect that a general improvement will be observable in most departments of trade. The remittances to the E ,st by the Malabar amount to 163,3381., viz., 163,9001. to Bombay, and 1,4381. to Alexandria. A further arrival of gold was announced yeeter day, viz., 95,61)1., by the Sea Breeze, from Vic toria. The marketfor English seem ities has been firm to clay, but business is dull. A few purcha: es have been rialde which have caused a slight further advance, and in the other departments of the Stock Exchange there has been increased buoyancy. Consols have been 97 to 97i for money, and ni for account. The Government broker ha 3 bought 14,0001. Con- Cols for the Savings Banks.

(Before the Master of the Rolle Sir John Romilly, RoBSON V. IVORRIGHT—JUDGMENT. ..... __- This was a demurrer to the plaintiff's bill on the ground that he was not entitled to file his bill in this court. The Master of the Rolls was of opinion that it was not a good answer to say that the plaintiff bad his remedy at law. The reasons why the demurrer cannot be sus tamped are two-Ist, This is a charge against the real estate of the company, and the plaintiff is entitled to come into a Court of Equity for relief, 2d, In respect that no personal representative has been appointed by the creditors, the plaintiff is entitled to prosecute this suit under the Winding -up Acts 1848-9, sec. 58.

Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for the plaintiff. The amount sought to be recovered was 441. for a pair of gold-mounted spectacles, alleged to have been supplied to defendant by plaintiff. Defendant said he did not purchase the glasses of plaintiff, but of a man named Sheens, who he believed was master of the shop. It appeared that the shop had formerly been carried on by a Mr. Ronbigell, and that plaintiff purchased the business of Sheen, who was Mr. Ronbigell'e foreman. It was elicited that Ronbigell bad been dead since January, 1856 ; plaintiff still carried on business in the name of Ronbigell, and all letters applying for money, or upon any subject, were signed Thomas Ronbigell. was lii Honour and o p plaintiff certainly a novel method o carrying would make himsel liable for Ronbigell's debts. on bnssianie said it Defendant said that some property of his was in Mr. Ronbigell's possession, and that he negotiated the trans • action with them under the belief that he was master. A letter was put in and an account, in which plaintiff's clerk admitted finding a pair of gold sp ec t ac l es belonging to defendant. Mr. Lewis thought that no answer to the present case. Defendant denied that he dealt with plafatiff, and his Honour thought the defence was a good one, and he would nonsuit plaintiff. THE LATE COMMITTAL OF A SOLICITOR.

Several solicitors were examined and also some of the officials of the court. The petition set forth that the Court was a bear garden, thi s hi s H onour, Mr. Prendergast, was incompetent, a n d t urned every thing into ridicule, and that the business of the court was fast falling away. The recorder was present, and his honour also made his appearance upon a request from the committee. The evidence offered was contra dictory enough ; every small circumstanc e being brought forward, such as applause, hisses, or laughter, and, on the other hand, the demeanour of the petitioner was commented upon by A witness. The inquiry closed yes terday evening, but no resolution was moved. MARKET NEWB.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of both Essex and Kent wheat in to•day's market was very moderate. For good and fine samples the demand ruled steady, at prices quite equal to Monday ; but damp qualities were a dull inquiry, at barely late rates. Only 230 quarters of English wheathave come fresh to hand since Saturday.. but the show of granaried samples was large. Sales progressed slowly, but no change took place in the quotations. The few samples of barley on offer were disposed of readily, at full quotations. Malt sold steadily, at extreme rates. Oats, beans, pea., and flour were in steady request, but not dearer.

LITMATuRE., -....1.......18 00... A Will and a Way. By the Hon. Henry Coke, author of " High ai.d Low," dtc., S. Hurst and Blackett. The reader will find in these volumes a variety of entertainment. There are several persons met with in• the narrative, one or two of whom are remarkably well sketched. Mr. Hai rod, senior, for instance, is a master-piece in his peculiar style of low cunning and subtle adroitness. With the stigma of a suppositions crime attaching itself to his name, he contrived to influence every one around him, fur while impossible to respect him, some feared him for his penetration, some admired his skill, and others were enraged by his self-pos session and assurance. As is frequently the case with such men, his failure was at home, he could not be a head to his family, and his son, in every moral attribute his superior, scorned his inter ference, and was impervious to his artful contri vances. Meriel Sigismund, the heroine, is a de cided character. There is nothing in her of the meek damsel whom a word can sway or a look direct, nor of the enthusiastic maiden whom the feelings of her heart can propel hither and thither without rule or guidance. Miss Sigismund was resolute and self-possessed, and her demeanour, joined to her lover's unfortunate position, compro mised by his father's false statements, which every one thought veracious, combined to create some very awkward situations, and give rise to sundry dilemmas, which are here traced for our perusal in a vivacious and captivating manner. Raven is the originality of the story : he is interesting, and what is seen of him attracts our attention, from his being so real and genuine in his actions and motives. We first meet with him in Spain, where the chief incidents of his career occurred, which are, from their nature, in unison with that land of wild romance. The mystery that hangs over the position of Meriel is of itself sufficient to excite curiosity, and is at the very last unravelled in a skilful style. Some of the minor characters introduced display a considerable knowledge of men and manners, and a keea insight into the foibles and prejudices of different classes. There are also to be noticed some adven tures, which were rather misadventures to those concerned, among which may be mentioned the night rencontre at Granstein, which resulted in the luckless Fabian being seized as a suspicious indivi dual, while he was endeavouring to gain some au thentic information regarding events of great con - sequence to his peace of mind. The bigotry of Mr. Pilgrim is, it is to be feared, the type of too many, who are actuated by no real devotion, but are in fluenced by prejudice and Gant. The family of the Sandfords is also well described, and some of its members play an important part in the story. Finally, the work may be regarded as possessing something out of the common in its construction and a sparkling and brilliant style enlivens and ornaments its pages. .1 Personal Narrative of the Siege of Lucknow. By L. Runtz Rees, one of the surviving Defenders. Longman. The Defence of Lucknow. A Diary by a Staff- Officer. Smith, Elder, and Co. The defence of Lucknow is now a part of his tory. The privations endured by the garrison, the terrible dangers to which they were exposed, the apparent hopelessness of their position, and the brilliant military achievements of their rescuers, all combine to render the narrative of the siege and the relief one of the most thrilling in the whole history of the Indian war. The many noble lives that were freely given in their aid, the numbers of the de voted band who perished by the guns of the enemy and the horrors of want and disease combined, or, sadder still, succumbed just when their pros pects were brightening, cast a mournful shadow over the r ecord ; and what the survivors endured in that long siokness of hope deferred, perhaps only themselves can know. But through it all the un daunted English spirit kept its place, and as their numbers decreased, as the little band grew smaller daily, each only f e lt th a t m ore dpended on himself— " Groom fought like noble, squire like knight, As fearlessly and well." The official report of Brigadier Inglis excited uni versal interest, and fuller accounts are now offered to the public, by some of those who have witnessed and shared the struggle. The first of the volumes before us is by Mr. Rees, a civilian, who, in his preface, very needlessly apologises for having "with a pen se little skilled in autoorship, and a hand still less accustomed to a sword, ventured to appear as an author and a soldier ;" and he expresses himself as more surprised at his own boldness in "facing the public in type than at having faced the enemy in the trenches." He tells us that " a Calcutta merchant, attached to the Martiniere Col lege at Lucknow, unexpectedly found himself en tangled in the meshes of the siege of that city, and having been by force of circumstances obliged to take his part in the defence, he recorded from time to time the events in which he was concerned, and those which passed before hire." Ris narrative extends during the whole length of the siege, from its commencement to its relief by Sir Colin Camp bell. He gives a full account of all the introduo tory proceclingg, the battle of Chinhutt, the begin ning of the siege, kc., and has been assisted by the notes of some of the others, especially of Lady Inglis. The following extract gives some idea of their prolonged suspense : "August 3d.—Heavy rain. The enemy's fire slackens. Nine Europeans bailed to-day, among them, Oswin Brown, who died of cholera—the gentleman who, on my last trip to Lucknow, had treated ma so hospitably at Bunnee, where he was toll-gatherer. He was the son of Colonel Brown. Cholera, indeed, is making many awful ravages, but particularly among the children. " August .sth.—We hear firing of cannon in the city. Can it be our long expected friends ? Is it possible that our reinforcements have at length arrived, and have actually penetrated into the city ? God grant it be so. We all think so, and are frantic with joy ; we shake hands with each other as if our deliverance were already at hand, and congratulate each other, and run to the tops of houses, regardless of danger, to see them coming. Bet we perceive nought but smoke ; and now it ceases, and we hear the sound of cannon in cantonments. Have they veered round, and will they come across the iron bridge, after fording the river at Constantia ? This must be so I How otherwise can we account for their guns being heard in two different quarters ? This night we sleep little, for we are full of suspense and anxiety, arid yet fearful, lest our hope be turned into disappoint merit. They Neil come to-night or early to-morrow morning without fail. " August 6th.—What bitter, bitter, disappointment ! We have a solution of yesterday's fire in the city, but it is one which makes our hearts sink with despair. The enemy are the first to give it us. At some parts of our entrenchments the insurgents are so near that we cam hear them talking distinctly. At the school-houses and the brigade mess, almost every night might be heard the sounds of revelry, music and dancing, in Johannes' house, not twelve yards away from us, and separating us only by a street from the insurgents. At one of these places or at the Bailey-guard, I do not know which, some of the rebellious sepoys, having no doubt witnessed our d e li g ht, an d guesse d the cause of our shout and `hurrahs,' were not slow in undeceiving us, by taunting us with So you think your reinforcements ' have come, do you ? reinforcements forsooth ? why we have beaten them long ago' (this we knew to be a lie), and we have crowned our king. The rule of the Feringhees is over, and we'll soon be in your Bailey guard."' What their feelings must have been when they really witnessed the coming succour, it is more easy to imagine than describe.— " The immense enthusiasm with which they were greeted, defies description. As their hurrah and ours rang my ears, I was nigh bursting with joy. The tears started involuntarily into my eyes, and I felt—no it is impossible to describe in words that sudden sentiment of relief, that mingled feeling of hope and pleasure, that came over me. The criminal condemned to death, and, just when he;is about to be launched into eternity, is reprieved and pardoned, or the shipwrecked sailor, whose hold on the wreck is relaxing, and is just rescued, can alone form an a 'equate idea of our feelings. We felt not only happy, happy beyond imagination, and grateful to that God of Mercy who, by our noble deli• verers, General, Havelock and Outran, and their gal lant troops, had thus snatched us from imminent death ; but we also Mt proud of the defence we had made, and the success with which, with such fearful odds to contend against, we bad preserved, not only our own lives, but the honour and lives of the women and children en trusted to our keeping. " As our deliverers poured in, they continued to greet us with loud hurrahs ; and, as each garrison heard it, we sent up one fearful shout to heaven, " Hurrah ;" it was not " God help us"—it was the first rallying cry of a despairing host. Thank God, we then gazed upon new faces of our countrymen. We ran up to them, officers and men without distinction, and shook them by the hands, how cordially who can describe I The shrill tones of the Highlanders' bagpipes, now piereed our ears. Not the most beautiful music ever was more welcome, more joy-bringing. And these brave men themselves, many of them bloody and exhausted, forgot the loss of their comrades, the pain of their wounds, the fatigue of overcoming the fearful obstacles they had combated for cur sakes, in the pleasure of having accom plished our relief." The following passage describes the diffic ulties with which the gallant band had to conten , cl sa : o -F t of "On the 25th, early in the morning , the assault the city was determined on by General Lucknow is encircled by a deep canal, dry in the hot season, but at that time—during the rains—swollen considerably. Its banks are precipitous and steep. Had the enemy broken up the bridges leading over it, the difficulties to be overc.)nse would have increased But they probably trusted in the a hundred-fold. rd a ' s t anc e they had determined to make. At the brid ge of the Charbagh ' (four gardens), at the out s ki r t s o f the town, they found the enemy's guns planted in great number behind a strong palisade, ready to receive them. They did dreadful execution ; but nothing daunted at the laves death constantly opened in-their raot - .. Sir J-ones ontrani himself, with Brigadier Ncill and his gallant Madras regient, and thti men:of the sth. 84th,` and 84th - advar"d; and, .Inr muu every obstacl, 'I 7 . 'At point of the bayonet, cutting down the gunners or putting them to flight. " General Havelock, with the brave 78th and 90th, following up the advantage gained, claimed in after them. They Lad to fight for each inch of ground; but they sacces.fully drove the enemy from one enclosure into another, and from garde❑ to garden. The cap tured guns they threw into the canal after spiking them. 4, "On this occasion the Highlanders' piper, who had lost his way, suddenly found one of the enemy's cavalry, sabre in hand, about to cut him down. His rise had been fired off, and he had no time to use his bayonet. "A bright idea," said he afterwards, when relating the story, struck me. All at once I seized my pipe, put it to my mouth, and gave forth a shrill tone, which so startled the fellow, that he bolted like a shot, evidently imagining it was some infernal machine. ➢iy pipe saved my life. "Altogether we had lost, as far as could then be ascertained, a b out 550 officers and men, killed, wounded, and mis s i ng , a h eavy, heavy sacrifice for our relief, but which made us the more grateful to our gallant de liverers. Our own number of fighting men was scarcely more, but our women and children were at least treble that number. " That the honour of having, under Providence, saved our lives is really due to Generals Havelock and Out ram is unquestionable. But for their timely arrival, our native troops, who bad up to that time behaved nobly, and adhered to us with cxernplary fidelity, would cer tainly have abandoned us. Nor could we have reason ably found fault with them had they done so, for life is sweet, and hope had almost entirely left us; Their desertion would have caused the most fatal depression in our own breasts, and with our diminished numbers and our continual losses we should soon have been obliged to give up our outposts. " Reduced within the narrow compass of the Resis dency itself, and exposed to the enemy's harassing fire from what would lately have been our outposts, it would have been utterly impossible to have held out. NOthing short of a miracle could have saved us then. Cawnpore would have been re-enacted in Lucknow, or we would, as we once talked of doing, have been com pelled to blow up our women, children, and wounded, to prevent their falling into the hands of the insurgents, and to have died fighting on the ruins ourselves. "Our houses had been already perforated with cannon balls. The Cawnpore battery was one mass of ruins', our outpost at Innes' e h ouse was part l y roofless, and the other garrisons were as b a dly o ff. F rom one alone, the brigade mess, 435 cannon balls that had fallen within it were actually counted. It would be, therefore, by no means an exaggerated statement to affirm, that not less than 10,000 cannon balls had struck our various buildings. As for musket bullets, they are only to be counted by myriads. "More than 400 of the defenders of the garrison lie buried in our churchyard." The second and more effectual succour arrived as is well known in November. The meeting of the generals is thus described : "The relief of Lucknow bad been effected, and we were soon to be free. Sir Colin, while the fire was still very heavy on the afternoon of the 17th, was met by Sir James Outram and General Havelock. A loud long shout greeted the generals and their staff as they shook hands, amidst heartfelt cordiality, with Sir Colin Campbell. Proud indeed, must Sir Colin have been at the success which had crowned all his measures, and which stamped him as one of the first generals of the age. The enemy had been foiled in every instance, aed, uutwithstancling his desperation, vigilance, and unques tionably excellent manoeuvres, had succumbed to the Commander-in-Chief's superior generalship, and the indomitable valour and undaunted courage of our troops. "Sir Colin Campbell received the hearty thanks and congratulations of Sir James with evident satisfaction ; and General Havelock, not less delighted and proud, harangued the troops who had so gallantly carried out all the Commander-in-Chief's brilliant manceevree, in that concise and yet soul•stirring language fur which he was so well known by his soldiers. While yet sp-aking, his attention was drawn to the place where his only son had just fallen, wounded by a musket ball from the enemy. Though his father's heart must have been then bleeding with anguish, and beating with curiosity to know the nature of the wound, the General, with wonderful self-command, continued his discourse without interruption, and then only amidst the cheers of the men, who were unacquainted with the sad event which had just happened, left to visit his wounded son. Fortunately it was only a slight wound, and he soon recovered from the effects of it." A full account of the members of the garrison and their families is appended. The other volume alluded to is the diary of a staff officer, recording the various events from the 31st of May to the 25th of September. It gives a succinct account of a briefer period and is more technical in its character, but full of interest, and shows the same picture from another point of view. Here is the entry for the close of July " July 31st.—A. fine night, and the usual firing. At daylight, the enemy commenced firing heavily on the Church and Residency, from a 24-pounder planted in the neighbourhood of the iron bridge. They also threw in many shells, and fired their guns from the Clock Tower Gate. Our IS-pounders and mortars were employed until ten a.m. in silencing the enemy's fire. Our sap from the brigade mess made good progress across the road, towards the outhouses occupied by tho enemy. Several children have lately died ; privation the chief cause. We had received nu information whatever since the 26th inst., the date on which we received the only letter we had yet received since the 27th of June. Our reinforcements were due to-day, and their non-arrival led us to suppose that the enemy had succeeded in breaking down the bridge at Bunnee, and arresting the progress of our friends. The flies dreadful—preventing all rest during the day, and disputing our food with us. The enemy continued to throw in shells all the forenoon till 2 p.m , when we had a heavy shower ; after that the firing continued as be fore. In the evening we repaired our defences as far as we could, as, awing to the heavy rain, the earth had settled very considerably. A fine moonlight night, and all quiet, save the usual amount of round shot and mus ketry. August Ist.—Still no intelligence of any kind, which caused much anxiety, more particularly as some of our supplies for natives were likely to be at an end in twenty days' time. Weather very hot and sultry ; small pain ful boils, coveringnearly the wholebody, very prevalent. Many deaths among the children ,and sickues3 on the increase. Great inconvenience felt in the hospital for want of space ; the sick and wounded sadly crowded, and the building very badly ventilated, as the lower story was hardly safe from shots. Enemy threw in many shells this morning, and fired unusually sharp will their heavy guns, till about ten a.m., keeping dur guns and mortars fully employed in keeping down their fire. Heat very great ; fire gradually slackened off towards noon, but recommenced sharply again about 5 p.m. Many round shot, shell, and car caies came in.' One of the latter fell into the court-yard of the Begual Kotee, within a few feet of the table at whicli the staff and commissariat officers were at dinner ' • but no one was hurt. S evera l cases o f c h o l er a occurred to-day. Efforts made to improve and strengthen our defences during the moonlight nights ; but the engineer officers were all sick, and little was done. Our sap in the brigade mess was pushed steadily on, and had attained thirty-eight feet from the shaft this evening." Here is another account of the Relief "At fourlp.m. report was made that some officers dressed in shooting coats and solah caps, a regiment of Europeans in blue pantaloons and shirts, and a bullock battery were seen near Mr. Martin's house and the Motes Mullah At 5 p.m. volleys of musketry, rapidly growing louder were heard in the city. But soon the firing of a ran'e ball over oar heads gave notice of the still nearer approach of our friends ; of whom as yet little or nothing had been seen, though the enemy were to be seen firing heavily on them from many of the roofs of the houses. Five minutes later, and our troops were seen fighting their way through one of the principal streets; and though men fell at almost every step, yet nothing could withstand the headlong gallantry of our reinforcements. Once fairly seen, all our doubts and fears regarding them were ended ; and then the garrison's long pent-up feelings of anxiety and suspense burst forth in a succession of deafening cheers ; from every pit, trench and battery—from behind the sandbags piled on shattered houses—from every post still held by a few gallant spirit 4, rose cheer on cheer—even from the hospital ! Many of the wounded crawled forth to join in that glad shoat of welcome to those who bad so travely come to our assistance. It was a moment never to be forgotten. "Soon all the rearguard and heavy guns were inside our position ; and then ensued a scene which baffles. de scription. For eighty-seven days the Luckiao w k e n air l i s s( c -i e had lived in utter ignorance of all that had t a o s ut d s e id a e d . , others,their eu fondlysb place nds a w in ho re h s a to d re lo d n those near and were again looking forward to glad meetings t. g to m t o h u ei r mt n h e ; d inquiries e .rlearnt for that r e relations t t i h o e n y s dear were to al o t n h e e . m , Onno w ali fo si r de t s he ea fi g r e s ir t soughtant s the answer was painful one. and friends were made.

The Anglo-Indian Almanack. Second year. Published at the Indian News office. The second year of this almanack witnesses a great change in the position of Anglo-Indians. Nevertheless, the proprietors are not discouraged, though they admit that circumstances have been adverse to their undertaking. They have appended a sketch of the revolt and a rec!ister of camualties. The usual information is given hilly and co rrec tl y, with the various points associated with colonial life especially enlarged upon. All Indian appoint.. ments modes of conveyance, list of directors, 8.7 c., together with a compendious list of retired officers of the company's service, whether civil, military, ecclesiastical, or medical, are given, and the chiefs of the various departments in the different presi dencies. 'We trust this almanack will be able to maintain fur itself the position which its careful and laborious composition merits. Algiers in 1857. By the Rev. E. Davies, M. 11. Longman. A pleasant little volume, telling tia some of the peculiarities of Algiers and its inhabitants. The writer travelled thither in the hope of restoring the health of a beloved invalid. Unhappily the journey proved fruitless, yet it served to alleviate the suf ferings of the wife and mother, to whose memory the work is inscribed. The author has, _therefore, fully described the climate and the resources of the country, with especial re ference to English invalids, and those who are about to make a pilgrimage thither in search of health, would do well to profit by hie experience. He has also given the details of the places of re creation in the neighbourhood suitable f;_r ord 7 nary travellers. The volume offers some pleasant pages to those w h o pre f er to exten d t h e i r kuowledge by their own fireside, instead of braving an African sun ; and the numerous coloured illustrations add greatly to the attractions of the work. THE RE-ELECTIONS. SOUTH SHROPSHIRE. VICE - CHAMBERLAIN OF THE HOUSEHOLD. The vacancy occasioned in the representation of the southern division of Shropshire by the accept ance of the office of Vice-Chamberlain of her ( Majesty's Household by Viscount Newport was supplied yesterday by the re-election of his Lord ship, without opposition. The election took pLlee at Church Stretton, Mr. Edmund Wright, the High Sheriff of Shropshire, presiding. Shortly after 11 o'clock, Viscount Newport, accompanied by a number of friends, arrived at the hustings, which were erected under the Market- h all. The usual formal preliminaries having been gone through, Sir BALDWIN LEIGHTON proposed the re-election of Lord Newport, who had never done anything to forfeit the confidence the electors had previously reposed in him. Referring to the cause which led to the downfall of the late Government, he said it was desirab!e it should be perfectly understood that this country would not submit to be bullied by any foreign Power, and he thought that Parliament had acted properly in resulting the insolent language which had b-en used with respect to England by some of the officers of the French army. With regard to the right of asylum, he would not have it trenched upon for any consideration, and cer tainly of all men living Louis Napoleon had the least reason to find fault with it. Mr. M. G. BENSON, in seconding the nomination, expressed similar sentiments. iThere being no other candidate, Lord Newport was declared duly elected. His LORDSHIP, in thanking the electors, said that if he bad thought his accepting office was in compatible. with his duty to his constituents he would not have become a member of the present Government, as ho would rather be the representa tive of the southern division of Shropshire than the nominee of the Crown. But he did not think there was any incompatibility in the two positions, and he thought, moreover, that his acceptance of a subordinate office under Lord Derby, whose opinions he had always himself professed. was an earnest of his sincere desire to see those principles carried out. He hoped and believed that the people of this country were anxious to give a fair trial to the new Ministry, and he was satisfied that their conduct of public affairs would conduce to the general welfare of the community at large. After eulogising Lord Derby and several of the principal members of the Cabinet, and expressing sentiments on the Conspiracy Bill and Government of India in harmony with those enunciated by the present Prime Minister, his Lordship concluded by thanking the electors for having the sixth time re newed their trint and confidence in him. 1 The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff, proposed by Lord Newport, seconded by the Hon. R. W. Clive, M.P., carried, and duly acknowledged. CONFERENCE OF ITALIAN DELEGATES The assembly of the Conference took place yesterday at three o'clock, and owing to the absen ce o f th e Presi dent, Signor Borromeo, through indisposition, his place was occupied by Signor Pallavicini. The CHAIRMAN said he regretted much the absence of their eloquent and patriotic president, who invariably by his appearance lent an earnest tone and dignity to any meeting he might honour with his presence. He re gretted his absence ; for he understood a proposition of some importance would be submitted to their considera tion, and it would have been as well for him to have been present in case any discussion had arisen with respect to it. He trusted, however, no opposition would be offered by the honourable delegates arourd him to the resolution about to be laid before them. Signor PORRO rose with great satiifaction to submit to them the resolution the chairman had alluded to, and he considerediwith him it was of the highest importance that the vote given on the subject by the Con ference should be an unanimous one. They might recall to their mind that on the first day the Con ference met, their president, in a speech full of profound eloquence and learning, dwelt in powerful terms on the recent attempt made on the life of the Emperor, and urged upon them the importance of laying aside all other business till they bad fixed on record their expression of utter detestation of such an act. That sentiment of their president was re-echoed, he was heartily glad to say, in the mind of every delegate present ; and already Eng land had commenced to learn that the oause of Italy's freedom did not require the arms of assassins to secure for it friends in the mind of an ever-discerning public. But in thus giving expression to their own sentiments, he thought it also of the highest moment, to the inte rest of every Italian refugee, to denounce in the strongest terms the very idea of their giving countenance to an act every honourable mind must lament, as not only injurious to their cause, to the interests of Italy, as it was also casting a slur of infamy on the fair name of every exile. He felt bound to say, before he had landed on the shores of hospitable England he had expected his countrymen who were re fugees here would have already made some movement to express their innocence in the complicity of such an act, and to have boldly proclaimed they required neither stiletto, nor pistol, nor infernal machines to secure the ultimate success of their country's liberty, founded as it was on justice, humanity, and every principle of right. But what was his surprise to find that even Row, at the last hour, no effort was made by the refugees to denounce the attempted assassination of the Emperor. He did not stand there as the apologist of the Emperor, for far from being his friend or advocate, be was ready to denounce, and so would every true Italian patriot, the invasion of Roman liberty ; but he would wish it to be well and thoroughly understood, assassins were as much despised by the people of Italy, and their supporters also, as they were hated in the generous land which had given them shelter in the hour of distress. He should move th e fol. means of the publi c press and togive exp ress i on to their lowing resolution :—" That the Italian refugees res id ent in the United Kingdom be at once called up on b y the utter more of th e i r countrymen on attempt sentiments,tu Italian tbe ml icpt mam e etings ,m a d e throughNationaleby o f f ono League etthhoeerir abhorrence o f t h e recent the life 01 the Emperor of France." Signor CREvELLI supported the resolution, and said if it had been his fate to have been an exile, not a dal' would he allow to pass by with ou t nttoring his indignant protest of even being thought capabl e o f g i v i ng support or countenance t o suc h an act of secret assassination. Signor FARINI objected to the form in which the reso lution was embodied, but otherwise concurred in the sentiments given utterance to by the two previous speakers. Several other speeches were delivered, condemning the silen ce o f th e i r countrymen i n exil e , and otherwi se objecting to the form of the resolution. The Confer ence adjourne without coming to any decision, to allow the question to be fully debated.
