Pothecaries' hall, London, 2cc., &c. r ., 1 - 1 (i essential object of this treat•se is to point nut the fearful con ''clliences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, Zhhz•li have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man -2C.1, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is t ,articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of th e /malth, happiness, and privileges ,o which every human being is "atitled. it is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are rlnciples of personal management which cannot be violated with :4f incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties aY be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, n d howthe evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, 7 1at there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. r t ,!Thilsh , d by J.

RE-ELECTION OF LORD 'STANLEY. STATE OF BELFAST. KING'S LYNN, SATURDAY. The vacancy in the representation of this borough consequent on Lord Stanley's acceptance of the office of President of the Board of Control, was filled up to-day by the re election of his lordship without opposition. The proceedings at an uncon tceted election are never, at the best of times, very lively or entertaining, but in this case they were doubly tame and uninteresting, owing to the per sonal absence of the noble candidate. As little more than three months had elapsed since Lord Stanley last appeared before his csnstituents O n his appointment as Secretary of State for the Colo nies, ou which occasion he entered into an elabo rate exposition of his political views and principles, it was deemed inexpedient in this instance to re quire his lordship' by attending the nomination in person, to trench on valuable time which might ill be spared from the pressing duties of his new posi tion. An intimation to this effect was conveyed to the noble lord, signed by 350 of the electors, of all shades of politics, and his lordship. decided to avail himself of their proffered 'indulgence. But having exhibited so much conaileration for the interests of the State as to " memorialize " the noble lord to stay away from the election, it could hardly have been expected that the electors should carry their pattiotism a little fdrther and attended themselves in sufficient numbers to save appearances when the functions intrusted to them was practically no less than that of ratifying - the choice made by the Sovereign of the man to whom should be cow fided the destinies of some 200,000,000 of her subjects. The self-sacrifice due from citizens on behalf of the Imperial interests certainly has its limits; and when the question in agitation was neither the election of a beadle nor the adver tising for tenders for the repair of the parish pump handle, the surrender of half-an-hour to the trifling duty and privilege of returning to Parliament at such a crisis a leading member of the Cabinet in• volved too heavy a'demand on the public spirit of the men of 'Lynn- Moreover, an itinerant Ger man band, besides a mendicant ancient mariner and his better half, both blessed with abnormal heads of hair, offered irresistible counter attrac tions to " free and independent." Still, excellent as might have been the reasons why the whole affair should be one of mere routine, it would certainly have hopelessly bewildered the most intelligent of intelligent foreigners, and even extorted a smile from the most determined wor shipper of constitutional forms, to witness the spec tacle of some 8 or 10 small country shopkeepers, with or without aprons, besides a town-clerk, two portly policemen, and au obese crier of the true Bumble type, assembled together in the obscure corner of an ancient town-hall, to go through the ceremony of conferring a seat in Parliament on a Privy Councillor and a great Minister of State. The scene was indeed a strange and suggestive one, and could hardly find a parallel out of these three kingdoms. The riots are daily assuming a more serious aspect. On Wednesday night, .however, they amounted almost to a popular outl;reak. The pro ceedings are described as " sudckn, desperat and d .structive." Here is an abridged ac..ount com piled from Thursday's Irish pipers • ." The first symptoms of .what was about to ap proach occurred in lligh-street. Shortly of - er o'clock, a body of ship-carpenters, walking in a massive column, numbering about 150 or 200, pro ceeded through that street en route to Sandy-row. At this time the constabulary , had not been called on duty, nor had the usual preventive measures been taken for the suppression of disturbance, as the authorities entertained the belief that the etrugglet would not be resumed at that hour of the evening. Immediately on the appearance of the ship-earpens tees' demonstrati•in the magistrates were commu nicated with, and the const a b u l a ry paded in trill strength at their paraded several depots. While this Move ment c, as being execu'ed by the authorities a large body of one section of the rioters had assembled in great strength and made their arrangsments for attack. In the neighbourhood of Great Vic`oria street, and in the adjoining passages leading from Sandy-row, some 800 or 900 of a crowd niuitered. Mr. Lindsay, attended by one or two of local force, here entreated the parties f when pessing clown towards the 171 ter Railway terminus, t remain iu their then position, mentioning that the cor,stahe lary had received orders to fire upon any person found throwing stones or with missiles in his pessds- siert Several of the'party returned to the neigh bourhood of Sandy-row ; about 200 of the:n rejected the advice, and rushed to the foot of Collfsge square East, then passed through College-street, ' Fountain-street, Feuntain-lane ' and into Doneall place. The windows of Mr. B. Hughes's eeteblieh ment were smashed, and the party rushed into Castle lane, cheering with col iderable vehemence. The authorities had been taken by surprise, and the passage of the crowd was totally unobstructed. A bo ly of the party hen passed Calenders . street, when one of the ringheAders called out, rTo the Whig /to the Whig office 1' The movements of the mob were at once reversed, and, in a body, they proceeded through Calender-street. When they came in front of the Whig office one of the ring leaders, attired in some of the habiliments of a sailor, who was a few yards in advanCe of the party, threw up his arms—ta sort of signal to his confede rates—and exclaimed, 'Now.' The response was a volley of stones. A second and third volley en sued, by which they succeeded irrdemolishing some 20 panes of glass in these premises. Immediately after leaving Calender-street, the mob, strengthened by another party, proceeded towards St. Malachi's Chapel. Tee gathering there was principally com posed of able bodied men. Two persons, evidently mill operatives, were directing the plan of assault on the chapel, each having prepared himeelf with missiles for the onslaught.' When they arrived at Mr M'Kavana's timber yard, a man, who apparently rushed from that place, directed at the mob what appeared to be a blunderbuss, for the purpose of stopping their progress. The crowd retired for a few perches, uttering loud. yells. They once more mustered, and ran :towards the chapel, directed a shower of stones towards the edifice, and scampered across 'the fields. By this time intelligende hal reached the Roman Catholics in that neighbour hood of what . was going on, and a crowd of people from Cromac street and the New Market appeared on the grounds. A struggle immediately ensued, Both parties, as if by mutual consent, concentrated their respective forces on a road contiguous— the Orange party occupying the field on the west side of the Old Dublin-road and their oppo nents the field on the other side, which is protected by a brick wall, running from the Covenanting Meeting-house to Adelaide place.' When passing Mr. M'Kavana's timber yard the Roman Ca - holies armed themselves with bludgeons, which these pre mises readily provided. • A terrific struggle en sued, more resembling tb9 faction fights for which the south and west of Ireland are notorious, than anything that has hitherto occurred in Belfast. The road was covered with stones, and a better opportunity the rioters could not have had for tenting their prOwess. . For forty minutes this bathe raged with terrific vigour. S' ones fell as thick as hail in the midst of the rioters ; men fell as if struck by gunshot ; and women, too—for the softer' sex—if the term is a,pplica,bp here—were among the most prominent leaders on Loth sides. en f?.`,7; - 17ceaVi.let rintended the ammunition department of the re spective parties. At one time the Roman Cath.die body retreated ; at another period of the contest the Orange party gave way, with all the stratagem and manoeuvring of a military campaign, for the 'purpose of entangling their foe. Once the Orange party appeared as if defeated, in order that the Roman Catholics might pursue thsm over the wall which divided them, taking care to leave some sharp stone-throwers in ambuscade ready to pick down any one who had the daring to mount the dreaded wall. This contest lasted for about half au hour, when the combatants determined to come to close quarters. The Roman Catholics, as we have mentioned, were well armed with bludgeons. In a moment's time they rushed at the Orange party with their cudgels, and a hand-to-hand fight ensued. The Orange brigade having wrested soma of the sticks from their opponents, both sides were about equally matched. For a short period the scene which occurred almost baffles description. Broken heads and bloody noses were the order of the fight. Several men fell down senseless, and were carried off in that condition, to be replaced by more able combatants. During all this time, not a member of the constabulary, not a "local," nor soldier was near the spot. &bout three-quar ters of an hour after the fighting commenced Mr. Lyons, J. P., Dr. M'Gee, J. P., and Sub-Inspector Bindou appeared on the ground, accompanied by ab cut 4') pence, mounted police, and a - Company of soldiers. As soon as - this force appeared, the rioters made a hasty retreat, the Roman Catholics retiring towards St. Malachi's Chapel, and the Orangemen in the direction of Sandy-row. Mr. Lyons read the Riot Act, and posted a detachment of soldiers at various corners of the scene of this desperate contest, unequalled in fierce ness in recent times in Belfast. Shortly after wards the Roman Catholic mob again made their appearance in M'Cleantra-fields, marshalled their farces, and effected a sally through Denegall square. As they passed through the latter they directed a volley of stones at the windows of the Methodist Chapel, Denegall-square East. They proceeded through Donegall-place, shouting, 'Now boys, for Roaring Hanna' s.' As the military were stationed at the corner of Castle place, further pro gress that way was impossible. They turned and ran yelling through Fountain-lane, believing that Berry street could be reached by th at way ; but a detachment of police was stationed at the corner of Chapel-lane, so that their inteotious were frus trated. They then went up to Barrack-strekit, and mingled with the Po‘ind mob. The depot bat talions in garrison, to the number of 700 bayonets, commanded by Col. Adair, and accompanied by Lieut.-Ctrl. Smith, C. 8., Captain and Adjutant Charter, Major Hardy, and the other officers, were under arms in a surprisingly short time after re ceiving the magisterial requisition, uotwithstend ing that the greater part of the garrison hid been called out for marching and exercise during the day. They came down Donegan street at a quick march, and hearing some cheers when the bead of the column • reached the Belfast Bank, it was sup posed by the 'officer in command that a conflict was raging, and the order was given to advance at the run. The entire body then ran up Bridge street, turning into High-street at a quick run, the men fixing bayonets to their muskets as they went. The spectacle was warlike in the extreme. In the wide space opposite the Bank buildings the forces were 'drawn up in sections. The Riot Act was read at Hammond's-court, and the crowds who had col lected in large numbers warned to withdraw un der the threat of being fired at. A cordon of mil tary was drawn across Castle-place, anither at Hercules-place, another at Bank-lace, a fourth at Castle street, and sentinels wore stationed along the footpaths. At 10 Vclock Mr. Lyons, 'ac companied by two mounted constables, rode into Donegall-place, and held a consultation with the Mayor and Mr. Tracy. He had just ridden around Durham-street and Sandy-row and found the streets deserted, and everything wearing a pacific aspect. The Mayor shortly previous had encountered : an as semblage of persons who were apparently ac'in'g in concert, and he addressed them, be them t repair to their homes, and his exborrogns had the remarkable effect of inducing the crowd to follow him up High-street, down B r id ge - s treet, and dis perse up Donegall-street and W military were ordered to respective homes. Tb barracks at half-past 10, and there was no othe r dis turbance during •the night," CHARLES DICKENS." THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL. (From the Morning Chronicle.) After weeks wasted in worse than unprofitable party fights, the House of Commons is to-night to resume the discussion of the Resolutions respecting the future Government of India. We are now within eight or nine weeks of the date when the session of Parliament may, in the ordinary course, be expected to close. There is much important and indispensable business still to b disposed of, which, if necessary, must take precedence of all other legislation. Out of the two mouths or so re maining of the pr sent time, at least one must be occupied by these measures and matters of routine. Yet the House will to-night gravely meet fcr the purpose of continuing the discussion on the Reso lutions, as if it were within the limits of possibility that they could be disposed of, and a bit founded upon them passed through the two houses of Par liament, before the close of the present session ! Even supposing that the bill could formally be passed, by running a raeeeegssinst time, would such a course be worthy of the dignity Of the British Parliament, when dealing with a subject so vast as the future Government of nearly two hundred millions of people ? It may be urged that we are virtually pledged to legislate on the question during the present year—that to stop short would be more injurious to our empire in India than even imperfect legislation. The supporters of Lord Pal merston may argue, that the proposed change in the Government is really only a matter of form— that it has nothing todowith the actual administra tion of Indian affairs in India itself, but is a mere affair of official arraneement, to save the waste of time attending a double jurisdiction and a double Executive. The people of England have seen enough of the real working of the system during the last two months to comsrehen I the utter fallacy of so contemptible an argument. Indeed, they are shrewd enough to ask why, if the proposed change in the system is so mere a "matte r of form," it might not be altogether postponed till next session, to that business of real public importance could be proceeded with? In the necessity for dealing at all with the question of the future Government of India at a time when the rebellion is fat• from being suppressed, we are paying the penalty of the first fault committed by the late Administration. In their eagerness to grasp at a great occasion for dis play, they pledged the country to immediate legis lation, when every rational and reflective man saw that the movement was as prsineters as the ruetive was hollo w and self-seeking. The subsequent delays have proceeded from the factious spirit shown by the same pard , s since thsir ejection from office. By continually menacing the New Administration, that India would be made a party question, they compelled Lard Derby and his friends to think more of their own safety than of the waste of public time, and to protect themselves by new arrange ments against the consequences of a mere party struggle. It is proverbial, that "Lookers on see most of the game." Mr. Walston° happens to be in this independent position. Some weeks age, when the now def, ated faction were in high hopes of success that Right Hon. Gentleman prophesied that there would be no legislation for India this Session. Even at that date, the thing seemed impossible— how much the more so, then, at the present hour, when niore time has been wasted, and there is barely enough left for indispensable business I If the affairs of the county were conducted with a due regard to the national interests, the suggestion thrown out by Mr. Gladstone would have been adopted. But the opposition had not the candour to admit that they had placed the House of Com mons in a false position, and the Government were afraid to withdraw, lest they should be made the subject of unjust taunts or factious motions. Thus it has arisen,that this most important ques tion has arrived at the position of a deal-lock, the Government and the House blindly proceeding with the appointed work, although conscious that there is nut time for its effectual performance. The proposition to transfer the Government of India from the East India Company to the Crown has been directly affirmed, The name t' be given to the responsible Minister for India is quite a second ary consideration, provided that his functions are defined. The remaining question of importance is that of the constitution of the Council—a question of the most vital importance to the future interests of India, and one that ought not to be finally de cided without the most grave deliberation, and the most complete knowledge possible of the wants which such a Council ought to supply. At this juncture, Mr. Gladstone, acting in the spirit of his prophetic declaration some weeks since, steps in with a propositien intended to relieve Par liament from a dilemma. The transfer to the Crown having been voted, and the independent Government of the East India Company therefore abolished—always assuming that the otherbranolies of the Lsg:slature adopt the views of the Commons —he is to-night to suggest an arrangement which at first sight appears just, reasonable and politic. It is that until the close of the next Session of Par liament the existing Court of Directors shall con , stitute the Council to advise the Minister for India, who shall have the Power to preside at their Board, at his option, in place of their elected chairman. The grounds for this proposal are obvious. When the late Ministry first pledged Parliament to legis late for India, the nation laboured under the delu sion that the rebellion was virtually at an end. Now, there is too much reason to believe, that more time and military strength will be required than we have yet allotted to the task. At all events, for the present, India cannot be considered as "settled." In such a state of things, what could be more natural than to look for advice to those who have so long participated in the administra tion of India, who hold, as it were, all the various threads of the broken net-work of Government in that mysterious empire ? A man of en lightened mind, like Lord Stanley, not un acquainted personally with India, and of a firm but equable temper, could not fail to derive from a body of men like the Court of Directors of the East India Company the most valuable assist ance. As the independent authority of the Com pany would be contemporaneously abolished, there cou!d be no fear of jealousy or obstruction to busi ness. On the other nand, in India the effect could not but be favourable. The good opinion ex pressed by the Directors towards the Governor- General would serve to fortify that nobleman when he saw those Directors surrounding as a Council his official s uperiors, while th e nat i ves wou ld see i n the new form of Government not only the fresh strength supposed to be derived from the assump tion of authority by the Crown, but also all the traditional influence centred in the Company. Last, but not heist, atneng the arguments in favour of proposal is its t en d enc y to deprive Mr. Gladston e 's the few factious chiefs who lead the Opposition in Commons, of even the temptat i on the House of aotein to make Indian a— airs a battle-ground of they are very likelparty, as •of the y to do if the question of the constitution the resolutions, should come on for discussion. We do not pretend to know what course her Majesty's Ministers mean to take with respect to Mr. Glad stone's amendment, bat we have a very strong opinion as to what it ought to be. At all events, we trust that they will fearlessly do their duty, regardless of taunts and sneers already forged and envenomed by the small fry of journalists and • other partisans in the interests of mho Opposition. , BERKSHIRE. —On Thursday mnruing a thunder storm of a fearfully violent character, - and destruc tive in its cousequences, occurred at Abingdon, 13:rks, and its neighbourhood., Mr, Stacey, a far mer, had as many as 25 sheep-arid lambs killed by lightning. It appeared that's . ° vivid was the light ning, and so great was the noise from the rolling of thunder, that a flock of sheep were alarmed and rushed to one corner of the fold:. - While thus ewe together the electric, fluid descended, an d sev e ral of the animals were olmerved to fall, by some men who were employed in . mowing grass -a little dis tance off. They immediately went to the spot and picked out as many as 20 sheep and lambs which had been !idled by the lightning. An examination was made to discover if there was anything remark able in the external appearance of the animals, but beyond a strong smell of sulphur could be detected. The carcases, however, . on th , -) skins being taken off, Were, found completely black. LEEDS. —A very violent storm of lightning and thunder, accompanied by a hea v y f a ll cif rain, passed over the West Riding of Yorkshire of Thursday ovening. About 20 minutes after eight o'clock the electric fluid struck the church of St. John the Evangelist, Leeds, knocking Off one cf the pinnacles •of the tower and daing some other damage, but not of a very serious character. For a short time just before the storm burst over the town nearly total darkno , s prevailed, and lamps and candle a had to be lighted in the shops, dwel ling houses, and other placei. The rain literally poured down, deluging the streets in many parts of the town. So great was the flood and so much earth was washed up, and other damage done at the Branahope tunnel, on the North-Eastern Rail way, between Leeds and Harrogate, - that the traffic through the tunnel was suspended, , No loss of life, happily, is reported. The storm was also sevt re in Bradford, Halifax, Wakefleld, and other parts of the Riding. Tne proceedings commenced at 1 o'clock, Mr. J. 0. Stnethaun, the Mayor, acting as returning officer. The writ having been. read by the town clerk, and the other preliminaries completed. The MAYOR explained that the meeting had been called to elect a burgess to represent that borough in the House of Commons in the room of Lord Stanley. who had accepted the office of President of the Board of Control. He then called upon some gentleman to propose a candidate to supply the vacancy. Mr. MorsE rose to nominate the Right Hon. Lord Stanley, but before doing so ho handed to the town-clerk the following communication re ceivGd from his lordship, which he requested that functionary to read : BRADFORD.—LOSS OF LIFE.---Tha thunderstorm on Thursday afternoon and evening created great damage in the Bradford district. Owing to their cellars being inundated by the overflowing streets, brooks, and drains, several of the shopkeepers in the lower part of the town have suffered severe in jury of their properly. Many houses were struck by the . electric lid. Amongst these wets one in the rmeupation of Mr. Raining, of Southfield place, Morningham, and' another belonging to Mr. Tho Mas Alilner, of lee - I -street. At the former some of the slates were ' the ro if and tossed ii iiistan; eZ. - T,.r'fra -a- s. • A, uettua in t tie lappet was also torn in two. At the latter a complete wreck was made of the c'limney and some part of the walls. Mrs. Milner with two cLildren, iu the sit ting room, had a very narrow escape, in consequence of -the marble mantel-piece and fire fixtures, the grating, &c., being suddenly torn down, and toured into the m . ddle of the room - . School-lane, Wibz-,,ey bank-foot, was also struck by the aictric fluid about 3.30 p.m. One boy, named Simeon Bas - .ow, aged seven, was struck instantly dead, and another, injured for a lime, had his 'sltoes . torn in fragments from his feet. At Peel-park groat damage \leis done. A bridge was driven down, arid great por tions of some of the embankments - were washed away. A Gothic house way also struckrand injured. It is repOrted that at Windhill, nearSbipley, a man had his arm struck and shattered ; and that at Shelf, midway bet Ween Bradford and Ilalfax, a waggon was struck and broken to pir'ce. NEwcAsTLE.--.—ln this neighbourhood the storm was the most severe that has .been known for years past. Four young and valuable'holses valued at 2001., belonging to Edwa r d Thow, Esq., of Short ridgo, were struck dead in the Buston Pasture. Mr. G.ardiner, of Lesbury, had also ayony killed in the af:ernoon. Mr. Tate, of Briton, had a pigeon house unroofed, and eight of the pigeons killed. Warkworth Castle, it is said, was also injured, and a gentleman on horseback, in the streets of that town, had a narrow escape, the horse and his iider being thrown to the ground, though without serious injury. Mr. Thompson, of Whittle, had a very narrow escape. He and his wife were sitting aside the chiinney-piece, when the fluid descended the chimney—dislodging a brick, struck him on the leg, then passing into a closet, where it entered the point of a tally-iron, and split off the .wooden handle ; it. finally made its exit from the house withinit doing furthil; dqmage. Tue lightning struck•the stables' at Steckfield Halt, near Bywell, and killed two valuible horses ; and other acci dents are reported to have occurred in the Vale of the Tyne. OPPOSITION TO THE CORPORATION REFOR' OP COMMON COUNCIL. On Saturday a special Court of Common Council was held at Guildhall, the Lord Mayor presiding, to receive a report from . the Corporation Inquiry Committee, with a statement which had been pre pared for circulation, relative to the opposition to the London Corporation Bill in parliament. Mr. J. WOOD, chairman of the committee, said the committee extremely regretted that they had been compelled to call the court tog?ther at so early an hour, especially on so inconvenient a day as Saturday ; but, although they had already leceived from that court full powers to do as they might deem advisable, in order to oppose the bill, and more particularly with regard to its consfiscating clau , es, they had thought it necessary to call the court together in order to obtain its opinion upon, and sanction to, a most important statement, which they had prepared for circulation. In conclusion, he moved that that paper should be read.

S. S3IITII. Sec. MR. CHARLES DICKENS. None can escape calumny, but towards people of note there is generally so much of envy or hatred in the mind of some enemy, that slander is ready and strong in its attacks; whilst amongst the world at large the tone of gossip and a morbid greediness to believe) evil renders men blind to all fair views, and indisposed to any candid investigation of the matter alleged. The character of a man like Mr. Dickens is public property. It should be as respected as that of a bishop or a judge. In his long career of authorship Mr. Dickens has most prominently insisted upon and vindicated domestic morality. His tales are read and cherished by home firesides, and the families of England have adopted his works as " household words," filled as the are in every page with the simplest and loftiest morality, and utterly free from any taint or stain of vice. It is unkind and cruel, then, as well as unjust) to listen with hasty and believing ears to the stories which—repeated now with a sarcasm, now with a real or feigned sorrow—have laen circulated (luring the last few days. A character amiable and blame less has proved no shelter, and falsehood has been busy in doing its worst to destroy a gond reputation. Under these circumstances Mr. Dickens makes the following statement, which is to appear in Household Word s on W e d nes d a y nex t. The accu sation against Mr. Dickens has been one of gross profligacy. We welcome his authoritative and touching denial of it. His friends needed no ex planation. Those intimate with him knew the truth, and his general acquaintances scouted the calum nies ; but the hundred tongues of Fame had spread abroad the poison among those who were ignorant of him, and we are glad he has stepped forward like a man, at whatever cost to his feelings, to brush away the web of untruth, and to claim the belief due to candour and innocence. We are con fident that the sympathy felt by the public will be deep in proportion to the injury; and that from the moment Mr. Dickens' statement is read, it will be accepted as a sufficient vindication of the honour of his untarnished name : " PERSONAL. " Three-and-twenty years have passed since I entered on my present relaticns with the public. They began when I was so young, that I find them to have existed for nearly a quarter of a century. "Through all that time I have tried to be as faithful to the public am they have been to me. It was my duty never to :rale with them, or deceive them, or presume upon their favour, or do anytning with it but work hard to justify it. I have always endeavoured to di charge that duty. "My conspicuous positi , u has often made me the subject of fabulous stories and unaccountable statements. o,:casionally such things have chafed me, or even wounded the ; but I have always accepted them as the shadows inseparable from the light of my notoriety and success. I have never obtruded any suc►h personal un eaineFs of mine upon the generous aggregate of my audience. "For the first time in my life, and I believe for the last, I now deviate from the ptinciple I have so long ob served, by presenting myself in my own journal in my own private character, andilentreating all ray brethren (as they neem that they have reason to think well of me, and to know that I am a man who has ever been un affectedly true to our common calling), to lend their aid to the dissemination of my present words. " Some dorneslic trouble of mine, of long-standing, on which I will wake no further remark tha❑ that it claims to be respected, as being of a sacradly private nature, has lately bean brought to an arrang "pent, which in volves no anger or ill.will of any kind, and the whole origin, progress, and surrounding circumstances of which have been, throughout, within the knowledge of my children. It is amicably composed, and its details have now but to be forgotten by those concerned in it. •' By some means, arising out of wickedness, or out of folly, or out of inconceivable wild ohance, or out of all three, this trouble has been made the occasion of misre presentations, most grossly false, most monstrous, and most cruel—involving not only me, but innocent per sons dear to my heart, and innocent persons of whom I have no knowledge, if, indeed, they have any existence —and so widely spread, that I doubt if one reader in a thousand will peruse these lines, by whom some touch of the breath of these slanders will not have passed, like an unwholesome air. " Those who know me and my nature need no assurance " TO THE ELECTORS OF KING'S LYNN. " Lendon, June 4. " Gentlemen,—lt is with no common pleesure that I have received the address, signed by more than 350 , electors of Lynn, in which, having regard to the cir cumstances under which a vacancy has occurred in the representation of your borough, and to the fact that only three months ago I had the houour of presenting myself before you as a candidate, and of explaining at some length my political views, you kindly informed me that my personal attendance at the approaching election will be dispensed w:th, and that I have no reason to ap prehend the withdrawal of your confidence. " I accept, though with some regret, the indulgence wbicl you so considerately offer. My personal inclina tions would lead me to waive it, but the pressure of offi cial duties, and the public incmvience which may arias from neglect, leave me an option. When those dot become lighter, and when my time shall be in some measure my own, I trust to be able personally to ex press my gratitude for the support which on so many occasions I have received from the constituency and people of Lynn. "I have not thought it necessary to address you at length on the politics of the moment. The general bias and leaning of my polical conviction is, I believe, wall known to you. I have never set much value on party names, especially when, as at the present time, they have almost ceased to represent fundamental differences of opinion. But there are principles of action which, by whomsoever professed, I shall be prepared on all oc casions to support. lam for a policy of peace, and, as far as practicable, of non-intervention abroad. I will resist to the utmost, by impartial justice towards all sects, and by undue deference to none, the disorganis ing influences of sectarian rivalry—influences which, wherever they have largely prevailed, have been fatal alike to the greatness of an empire and he happiness of a community. I wish to see the public service open to talent in all ranks, and the advantages of instruction as widely extended as possible. " Deeply sympathising with those whose livelihood depends on their labour, I think that to lighten the bur dens of the poorer class, so far as is consistent with fiscal ustice, shoal' be the first object of our finance. " The power of England over her dependencies: abroad has been acquired for the most part by arms ; but it can only be maintained by a policy of moderation and equity. The support of such a policy, ther,fore, is equally en• joined upon us by the interests of Great Britain and by those of humanity at large. " These are the views to which it is my desire to give effect. I hope that they are Liberal in the truest sense, but that they are Conservative in the truest sense I am well assured ; for no institution in our age can be stable unless they rest on the freely given support of a con tented, because trusted, peteide.—l remain, gentlemen, your obliged and faithful servant, " STANLEY." Mr. MOYSE then said that it was only a short time since he had had the honour of nominating their noble representative for re-election ; and in discharging that task again it was unnecessary for him to trespass on their attention at any lenga They had already had ample opportunities of judg ing of Lord Stanley's fitness for office ; they had witnessed the zeal, energy, and ability which he had brought to bear upon his duties as the head of the Colonial Department ; and they had every ground for expecting that he would acquit himself with credit in his new and most responsible position as the head of the India Board. The noble lord, by the aid of his manly and statesmanlike qualities, his cool judgment, and his kindliness of disposition, was eminendy qualified to restore order and bring about an improved state of feeling in our Indian empire. His lordship wan, he believed, destined— perhaps at no distant day—to 611 the highest office under the Crown ; and they must all cherish the hope that he would long be spared to give the State the benefit of his calm and sagacious counsels. Mr. Moyse concluded by nominating the Right Hon. Lord Stanley, as a fit and proper person to repre sent the borough of King's Lynn in the Commons House of Parliament. Mr. PLATTEN, in seconding the nomination, ob served that that was not the first time that Lord Stanley had been elected for King's Lynn in his absence. The noble 'old while sojourning in America was first retutned to Parliament by that constituency. All that they then knew of him was that he came of a good stock, and was the son of the Earl of Derby. Since that period he had shown himself to be a man of commanding talent, of un tiling industry and perseverance, as well as of thorough honesty and straightfordwardness. There was no office under the Crown for which he was not qualified. The MA:roit then inquired whether any gentle man had any other candidate to propose. No re sponse being made to this challenge his Worship declared Lord Stanley to be duly elected. This announcement was received with hearty if not very deafening cheers; and, after voting thanks to the returning officer, the dozen spectators, whose number had by this tim3 b.eu supplemented by two tardy patriots satiated at last with itinerant musicians and hirsute prodigies, then dispersed.
