Lord STANLEY, on coming forward, was received with several rounds of cheering. Silence being restored, the noble lord spoke as follows :—Gentlemen, I have to thank you for the renewed mark of confidence you have this day reposed in me, and to exp ress to you, my gratitude in words which, however inadequate to the occasion, will, I assure you, be most sincere. (Cheers.) On the last occasion on which you did me the honour of choosing me to represent you in Parliament, feeling that the business of the country ought not to be interrupted more than could be helped, you generously dispensed with my presence; but upon this oc casion I deemed it but justice to be personally among you, to thank you for the many marks of kindness which I have received at your hands. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I am not insensible to the high position in which I have been placed since the dissolution of Parliament. I know how to ap predate the offers which I have received from two great constituencies, and should be Ungrateful if I did not return my - most sincere thanks to' those gentlemen who were prepared to support me ;. but those offers, flattering as they were, have not induced me to waver for a moment in my purpose of continuing your member until the course cf nature makes it • impossible, or Until I shall receive a dis missal at your hands. (Cheers.) . While upon . personal topics I think it but bars justice to _refer to one point ; and it is a point with respect to which the c o nd uc t o f th e consti tuencyi, naturally involves the disposal Minister of Lynn redounds to their credit. Th e pos iti on o f and iconisntesidreoraf consideration tself, Crown, besides bein g one o f hi g h h onour of very considerable patronage. ConsidEvabl e , however, as that-patronage undoubtedly is, I speak with 'perfect truth when I say it is not really so large as is generally supposed. (Hear.) It is but natural to expect that my supporters in this borough would conceive that they have more than or dinary claims upon that patronage, and therefore it is with great pleasure I can say that during 14 months I have hardly had as many applicants, and all the applications most reasonable. (Hear.) Turning now to public affairs, I ask what is the reason of our meeting t oge th er t hi s day ? Parliament, after two years' chequered existence has been dissolved. I quite admit that a violent dissolution of Parlia ment is a disagreeable thing, and it is very natural that many should find fault with_ those who counselled such a proceeding. A general election, no doubt, is a serious .in terruption to the business of the country; it delays legisla tion, and it is a source of expense and annoyance to the members themselves. Unless, therefore, it is undertaken with a definite object, and . there are good reasons for sup posing that that object is attainable by such means, I quite admit that it could not be justified. On this occasion, how ever, I am prepared to say that ample justification for the adoption of such a course exists. The state of parties in the House of Commons during the late Parliament was such that no Ministry could command support. To say nothing of the smaller sections, under separate and dis tinct leaders, there existed at least three principal parties —the Liberals, under the leadership of Lord John Rus sell; the Whigs, or at least a very considerable portion of them, under my Lord • Palmerston ; and the great Conservative party, under Lord Derby, which out numbered each of the other political sections of the legisla ture taken separately, but which did not in itself possess a majority whenever those sections thought proper to combine their forces against the Government. Lord John Russell commands the confidence of the great body of the Liberals, and probably enjoys as much respect as is accorded to any public man now living ; but notwithstanding his great and l 8 0 f Sir Robert Peel,as perhaps the deserved popularity, if he formed a Ministry to-morrow, based simply upon the support of the Liberal p ar ty, h e would probably meet with the most determined oppo s iti o n, not only from the Conservatives, who are as a body opposed to his views, and whose opposition would be open, but from that large portion of Whigs who are hostile to reform, and whose opposition and hostility are not the less effective wbe cause theyare disguised. (Cheers.) On the other hand, most Lord Palmerston , popw arMinister whom since/ lat contrived to lose that popularity more rapidly and more signally than any other man whose name is prominent in the political history of our times. (Hear, hear.) Thi s i s neither the place nor the occasion in which to discuss the fi c e h time s 7, causes of the decline in the popularity of. that noble , lord. They were numerous, and, the misunderstanding with France was neither the only cause nor the chief cause. There were aPpointments which startled and scandalised ; there was a contemptuous indifference, if not aversion— scarcely disguised—to ideas which the Liberals valued and respected; there was aeonsciousness of power too obviously displayed, as though a Minister, backed by a majority of the House of Commons, was justified in treating all argu ment as mere cavilling. (Hear, hear.) In March, 1857, Lord Palmerston was carried into power on the shoulders of the people ; in February, 1868, he fell. No voice Itsns raised in his defence, and the conviction must have been forced upon his most sanguine admirers that a second ministry having Lord Palmerston for its head, during the existence at least of that Parliament, was not possible. (Hear, hear.) It has been stated by my friend Mr. Bagge, that the mere numerical principle of re presentation is not and has never formed any part of the constitotion of this country i and he gavey, very fair illustra -timi of ninitcoriveale - nce NTlierfib ‘i'lfed out with perfect accuracy the effect of applying that strict numerical test to ,the representation of this borough. I do not think that a constituency ought to be disfranchised merely because it is small, but if it be so small that the individual vote of each elector acquires that degree of importance which greatly in creases any temptation to corruption, and if the constituency be under the control and direction of one or two individuals then I say that in either of these two cases you have to deal with a clear abuse which you are called upon to remedy. Besides this question of reform I do not think there is any other subject of domestic legislation to which it is necessagy that I should here allude. On the old church-rate contrg versy, I voted the last two sessions as I had voted before, and I think the decided expression of opinion by Parlia ment on that subject and the yearly increasing majorities by which the abolition of the rate has been carried, clearly prove that the time for compromise has gone by, and that there is only one manner in which that question can now be settled. I have always supported, and always shall support measures of law reform, especially those directed to the ac complishment of .that most useful object, the consolida tion of the statute law. Bills dealing with that portion of the law were introduced introduced into Parliament at the commencement of the session, and I suppose will be again brought forward on the meeting of the new Parlia ment. A bill was brought in at the beginning of the session for the purpose of simplifying and facilitating the transfer of land—a bill which I believe, notwithstanding some pro fessional opposition, would have passed, and which I think will still pass both houses, and will not only tend in a great degree to increase the value of landed property, but, what I regard tes much more important, will greatly tend to facilitate the investment of capital in land. (gear.) All law reforms I shall endeavour, if in office, to promote, and if not in office to press on those who succeed us. Gentlemen, the affairs of India, with which I am more especially and pecu liarly concerned, have been rendered so familiar to you by the events of the last two years, and the transfer of the In dian government from the Company to the Crown occurred so long ago, now that I will not waste your time by enter ing at any length on that .which is a matter of history. But this I say, that those who have the administration of affairs in India, whether in this country or on the Spot, have laid upon them one of the greatest burdens of responsibility which ever fell to the lot of any public man in this country. There is involved in the case of the Indian administration every element of difficulty. There is the distance, which makes the necessary amount of supervision impossible, and which makes all supervision difficult ; there is the reluctance of men who are .able and. competent to undertake public service in a country—service in which implies an exile from England for the better part of a man's life. There is the climate, which disables some and lessens the energy of all; and there is that opposition of classes and jealousy of race which inevitably attend the condition of a conquered com munity. Besides all this, you have there to deal with a form of government which, however necessary and however suited to the country in which it prevails; is not in accord ance with the habits and ideas of the natives. To all these permanent causes of difficulty we have to add, that at the present moment the finances of India are very greatly em barrassed, and that in consequence of the late disturbances the whole administrative system has been so far deranged as to render it necessary that it should undergo entire revision. With regard to the change that took place last year, you have heard two observations frequently made, both of which are equally unfounded. On the one hand, it is said that the present Government merely accepted , the measure of their predecessors, and transferred the administration of India to the Crown without any check or control. On the other hand it is contended that there has been no change except in name; that the Indian Minister sits in the one part of London instead of the ether ; andthat with that exception things go on exactly as before. Now, the truth lies between those two extremes. The government of India has not been conferred on the Queen without any species of check or control. On the contrary, there has been interposed a body of men from whose industry, from whose experience, and from whose public spirit—l refer, of course, to the Council of India—we have every reason to hope for the most beneficial results. (Cheers.) On the other hand, so far from its being true that the position of the Minister with regard to the Indian Government is the same as it was previous to the change, the Minister for India is in another position altogether. He has more power, he has a more direct control over the affairs of India, and there de volves upon him a more immediate and direct responsibility. (Hear.) I think that the arrangement which, after months of discussion,- was at the close of the preceding session sanc tioned by Parliament, has on the whole avoided as near as possible the double difficulty, en the one hand of increasing the power of the English Executive, and on the other it has avoided the danger of creating a new East India Companyin place of that which has been destroyed. (Cheers.) There only remains one more subject upon which I deem it necessary to offer one or two remarks, although I fear there is upon that very little that will be agreeable for me to tell or for you to hear. I refer to the state of our foreign affairs, to that which two or three days ago I should have called the chances, but which I fear I must now term the certainty of war. It is right, however, to say, while speaking on this subject, that during the last few days, and since I first came among you, I was not in the possession of an other than the ordinary public sources of informhtion. If we may rely on those sources of intelligence, I am afraid it would be almost too sanguine to hope that war can now be prevented, and all we can hope for is, that that war, if it breaks forth, will be confined to that part of Europe in which it shall occur. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I own that a war like this, oc curring at such a time, appears to me one of those events which must, if not totally destroy, at least damp that confi dence which we in this country are inclined to entertain in the progress of civilisation and good government abroad — (hear, hear)—for it will not be a war of opinion, it will not be one of those great struggles recorded at different periods in the history of human kind founded upon deep-lying dif ferences of political or religious principle—it will be one of those mighty contests in which all the sacrifices, the suffer ings, and the miseries caused by war are in some degree compensated by great ideas, in which the interests at stake and the objects to be obtained are struggled for in a spirit of disinterestedness, and in which to obtain them war is rendered necessary. It will be a war wantonly, needlessly , and I will say wickedly made. (Cheers.) It will be a war dictated by the ambition of a few me n pl a ced in too high a • • *salon above the masses of mankind to feel that respect for human rights or that sympathy for human suffering, a due regard for which forms the bonds by which the human race is banded together. (Loud cheers.) The independence of Italy is the plea, but. it - is nothing retire than a plea. (Renewed _cheers.) Gentlemen, so far as matters have gone, the course which has been pursued by her Majesty's Ministers has been a simple one. -We endeavoured to inter ' fere in the interests of peace, as far as it has been possible for England to ixiterferewithout compromising her own position in giving pledges which might be productive of future em barrassment. (Cheers.) No effort has been spared, no means have been left untried for the preservation of peace. (Renewed cheers.) If in those efforts we have failed—if the negotiationti;ol the last few weeks have only, concealed on the part of other powers a premeditated purpose of going to war—we have at least the consolation of knowing that- the great misfortunes - which must accrue to Europe and to the whole world will have been caused byno act ofours—(cheers) —but that they will have taken place in spite of every exer tion which we could make to prevent it. (Hear, hear.> Not only have we striven against it in the interest of peace, but we have interposed in a spirit of perfect impartiality be tween the contending parties. We have not been led away on the one hand by Italian sympathies, nor on'the other have we been influenced by any jealousy of the power of France. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) We have had no secret preference, we have pursued -no underhandpolicy, (Hear.) Explanations have been freely and frankly given, and there is 'nothing, so far'as the conduct of England is concerned, which we need either conceal or disavow. (Loud. cheers.) I said just now that I believed the interruption of the Parlia mentary session- would have no effect on the conduct of 'foreign affairs, and I say so for this reason, that I believe there is a general and ablest a singular unanimity among English statesmen and Englishmen of all particular parties with regard to the course which ought to be pursued. There- is in this country one, and one feeling only, that English intervention by arms ought only to take place when English objects are involved in' the s. case of Italy. (Cheers.> What may happen hereafter, if t h is war should become general and spread throughout urope, it is utterly impossible for me or any one to say. There are pledges by which we are bound, there are engagements which Eng land has to fulfil. It is possible--though God forbid that in those general unforeseen complications of events to which a European war may give rise—the time may come when neutrality may be no longer possible. But we shall cling to that neutrality so long as it remains . possible, and leave all the guilt, the misery, and the suffering to which the war must inevitably give rise to those by whom it has been provoked. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I feel that r hive detained you at far too great a length, but there is no other political subject to which I have now to advert. I will merely say, before I sit down, that while holding the office which I now fill, my time is not my own, and I very much regret that the brief stay which' I have been able to make among you has not sufficed to enable me, as I should have wished to do, to pay my respects to every elector. I intend in - future years to take at least one opportunity a year of meeting you' in this room to explain the policy I have pur sued, and to make such communications—although they will be necessarily brief and imperfect—as may tend to maintain the good understanding between us, and to keep up that close relationship which ought at all times to sub sist between a member and his constituents. Whether I shall meet you next year as a Minister or as a private mem ber of Parliament is more than I can venture to say. - To myself it is a matter of little moment; but I confidently hope and expect that when I stand before you again in this room I shall be able to do so with no pledge broken— (cheers)—with no promise violated, with no friendship alienated by any act of mine, with no inconsistency of po litical language or conduct to explain away, with no vote recorded against mo in Parliament which I shall be unable or unwilling to defend. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) Gentlemen, allow me once more to dhank you for the honour which you have again done me, and to assure you that so long as you shall be pleased to continue your con fidence in me as your representative, my best energies shall ever be devoted to your service. The noble lord resumed his seat amidst enthusiastic cheering. OXFORD (CITY). The election of two members for the city of. Oxford took place yesterday in the area at the back cf the Town-hall. Although there was no opposition to the return of the late members, there was a large attendance of electors and non electors, and the proceedings appeared to be regarded with considerable interest. Mr. Nathaniel Castle, mayor and returning-officer, presided. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, Mr. Alderman S&DLER proposed his hon. friend Mr. J. H. Langston, as a fit and proper person to represent the city in Parliament. J. Bnomi na tion. ell,as M r . the firm and J; PILE pr s o e l l o nd ci ed m t r h . e ci rdv con sistent advocate of retrenchment, reform, and non-interven tion. Mr. JOSEPH CASTLE seconded the proposal. No other candidate being proposed, the Mayor at once declared that Mr. J. H. Langston and the Right Hon. Ed ward Cardwell were duly returned to represent the city in the ensuing Parliament. • Mr. LANasrow ' in thanking tb e electors for sending him to Parliament for the ninth time as their representative, congratulated them upon the fact of there having been no contest, as proving that even all the money which had been collected at the Carlton Club could produce no effect upon this constituency. Referring to the melancholy news which had been reeeived as to the state of affairs in Italy, he said that it must be the opinion of all who were present that it was the duty of whoever might be the Minister of this country to do all he could to avoid the necessity of our joining in the conflict. (Cheers.) Mr. CARDWELL, who was received with loud and pro longed cheering, said, that gratifying as it must be at any time to be returned by the unanimous consent of an inde pendent constituency, it must be doubly so at a Moment like the present, when the wires of the electric telegi aph were hourly bringing the most appalling intelligence, which showed that our common country had need of united hearts, and it might be of united hands, to defend her against dangers such as perhaps no person then present had ever witnessed. (Cheers.) The indictment upon which the House of Commons was condemned contained two counts—one that it rejected a bill brought forward by the Government of Lord Palmerston, generally, and not very favourably, known by the same of " The French Colonels' Bill;" and the other that it had rejected the Reform Bill, or as it might more properly be called, the anti-reform Bill of her Majesty's present advisers. To the first of these proceedings the members of the present Government were themselves parties ; it was by means of it that they obtained their offices. With regard to the second he had been asked by many gentlemen why the Reform Bill was not permitted to go into committee. That question admitted of the ver7 easy answer—if indeed any answer was required—that if you want to defeat a measure it is not your business to sup port its going into committee but to vote against it upon the second reading. (Cheers.) The main objection which was taken to the Government bill was, that it did not give a fair extension of either the county or borough franchise. In the Cabinet itself there were two opinions upon that question, and he believed that'if a measure had been pre pared in accordance with the recommendations of Mr. Walpole and Mr. Henley it might have been read a second time, and all minor points of difference might have been settled in committee. The bill actually introduced was made up of a variety of provisions taken from other measures, and which the Government had treated as gipsies treated stolen children-- " They tan their stolen elves To make them tanned and ugly like themselves." Mr. Locke King's proposal for the reduction of the county franchise, which was by him intended to extend the in fluence of educated public opinion in counties, they had so dealt with, that in substance the clause contained in their measure would have enabled great proprietors to subdivide their properties into holdings of £lO, to give these holdings to friends who might reside within a short distance of the Carlton Club, to furnish them with voting papers which they might put into the post pillar opposite that club, and by that means to counteract the very object which the original proposal of the £lO occupancy franchise in counties had in view. There were many other clauses in the bill which appeared to be designed for the same pur pose, and which must have had the same effect. When the Liberal party found all the clauses tending to the same conclusion, they, by the common principles of reasoning, deduced that that was the aim, object, and intention of the bill. Even then, however, they did not absolutely reject , the bill on the second reading. They only laid down by resolution certain principles, and said that before the bill went further they would take care that those principles should be recognised by the House of Commons, as those to which the bill should be made to conform. This was taken as a great affront by the Government, who were quite obli vious of what occurred upon the Conspiracy Bill, and hence the dissolution. The Government did not go to the country upon that bill, and the country did not know whether they would propose it or any other in the coming Parliament. (Hear, hear.) Turning to the question of open or secret voting, the right hon. gentleman said that, if the ballot were a question of freedom and purity on the one side, and of coercion and correption on the other, his choice would be made in a moment, he should vote heartily for the ballot. (Cheers.) He was, however, unwilling to support the enactment of a compulsory ballot—and a volun tary one would be of no avail—as long as he entertained the hope, which he still cherished, that by . the enlargement of constituencies freedom and purity might be obtained, without the sacrifice of that publicity which was the life of our political system, and the great guarantee and safeguard for the conduct of our public men. (Cheers.) Considering the period at which the dissolution took place, the country had a right to ask whether, when they introduced a Reform Bill which they knew that two of their most valued col leagues would rat her sacrifice office than support, they were aware that the affairs of Europe were in a dangerous and difficult position. If they were not, had they been vigilant guardians of the interests and liberties of the greatest people of the earth? (Hear, hear.) If th e y were aware of it were they justified in leaving the country in the position in which it now stood ? (No, no.) We are now without a Government, because a Government which had been condemned by the House of Commons was in the eye of the constitution no Government at all. We were with out something else—we were without that free assembly which alone in Europe could speak the language of mode ration, of freedom, and of peace, and could exercise an in fluence over despotic monarchies and contending armies. (Cheers.) Was that a condition in which the country ought to be left in circumstances such as those which now existed P (No, no.) This, continued the right hon. gen tleman, is the state of the country at thi s perilous moment. I hope and trust that in the new Parliament there will be temper, wisdom, and patriotism which will rise above all meaner considerations and will prepare us for the conflict. Of the present state of Europe it behoves everybody even upon these hustings to speak with the utmost prudence and reserve. If there be a possibility of preserving peace there is no man more anxious to maintain it than the individual who now addresses you. I have before made sacrifices for the sake of peace, of which not the smallest was the tempo rary loss of the good opinion of many of this constituency. If thltre be a man upon earth who desires that the course of Great Britain should be a pacific one, that we should restrict ourselves to those conquests which industry and commerce make under the aegis of peace, and that we should remain free from those bloody conflicts which are the disgrace of despotic monarchies and of standing armies, I am that man. I would say in the noble language of our poet " No more our sons shall dye with British blood Red Iber's sand, or Ister's foaming flood." (Cheers.) But these matters are not in our own power. We must prepare to meet the defence of our country should her interests or her honour be assaulted. We must Prepare for thosestrictly defensive exertions which the exi- goncy and danger of the occasion may compel us to under take. It is in unity among ourselves—it is m loyalty to the Throne—it is in attachment to our institutions--it is in that just, and temperate, and constitutional progress which cements society together, which from time to time- brings within the framework of the constitution new classes, whose intelligence :and education entitle them to ad mission, but who have heretofore been excluded—it is by healing, wholesome measures:of this kind that the safety of a great Apple in appalling circumstances can best be securei. . (Cheers.) I spent a large part of last year in considering the question of manning the navy. I am no alarmist with regard to this country. I believe that if this country werespost to the proof, she is equal to cope with the world in arms, - (Loud cheers.) Ido not think that united Europe could assail her if she took proper precautions to protect herself. . ((;heers.) We hear of a despotic monarch commanding half a million of troops ; I beheve that in a short time, and without much cost, we could have half a million of troops, actuated by cordial attachment, on the coasts of this country, practised in arms, hearty gunners, all bristling for the defence of this country. (Cheers.) I believe this country, put to the proof, would exhibit such a spectacle as neither ancient nor modern history records. (Cheers.) Eut because we are free from fear we should not omit precau tions. I hope and trust you will support, and encourage us to support, any Government of whatever party, which may propose just measures of a strictly defensive character, de termined to uphold the honour and maintain the interests of the country in any and every emergency ; and I trust you will support us also in carrying those domestic measures which, going in the ancient paths of the constitution, and by the light of experience, shall more and more cement to gether the hearts of all the subjects of the Queen ; and if our enemies be strong we shall be found united cordially together. I trust when I next address you T shall have to address a more extended constituency, and that the measures of reform which will be carried in the ensuing Parliament will be such as will add to the strength and use fulness of our institutions, and increase the prosperity and contentment of the people. ' (Loud cheers.) Thanks were then, upon the motion of Mr. LANGSTON, seconded by Mr. CARDWELL, voted to the Mayor, and he having acknowledged the compliment, the proceedingsi ter.. =imbed. CARLISLE. The nomination for this city took place on Thursday in front of the Town•hall. There were about 5,000 persons present. Sir James Graham was met on Eden-bridge at 10 o'clock by a large number of the friends of the Liberal can didates, and be and Mr. Lawson were escorted to the Coffee house, whence they shortly afterwards proceeded to the hustings. Mr. W. N.' Hodgson, the Conservative candidate, was met by, his friends at the Atheniuum, and was accom panied from there to the hustings. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, Mr. T. DONALD, of Linstock, a freeman of the city, pro posed Sir James Graham as a fit and proper person to re present Carlisle in Parliament. Mr. JOHN IRVING seconded the motion. Mr. G. H. HEAD, banker, proposed Mr. W. N. Hodgson. Mr. T. NASON, a new borough magistrate, seconded the motion. Mr. W. SUTTON, of Scotby, in an energetic speech, then proposed Mr.' Wilfred Lawson as the Liberal candidate in conjunction with Sir James Graham. Mr. GEO. ROBINSON, miller, seconded the nomination. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, who was received with cheers and uproar, after some introductory remarks, said—Since I last addressed you public affairs have assumed a much more serious aspect. What has become of that peace-preserver, Lord Derby ? Where is the peace of Europe ? What is the account we have received to-day ? •Russia and France are in close alliance. Since the peace of Tilsit in 1808, when Russia and France were in mutual alliance, menacing the liberties and independence of all Europe, no such crisis in my memory has occurred as that of which we have re. ceived information to-day. (Hear and applause.) Well, Lord Derby on Friday last, advised her Majesty to dissolve her Parliament, and on Monday he fowid it necessary to explain the policy which he had indicated in his place in the House of Lords only one week before ; and from whence do you think he found it necessary in this great crisis to address the people of the United Kingdom ? Why, from the Lord Mayor's table at the Mansion-house, in the City of London. (Hear, and laughter.) No longer able to ad dress the assembled Parliament, no longer able to take counsel of the great council of the nation, he is driven by an act of his own actually to explain his policy from the Mansion-house in an after-dinner speech. (Laughter and applause.) Now it was proposed m the House of Com mons to offer obstruction, when the difficulties of the state were not nearly so great, to the exercise of the royal pre rogative in declaring a dissolution. lin my place objected to any such obstruction. I said that it was the undoubted prerogative of the Crown, acting under the advice of its responsible ministers. to dissolve Parliament, and I would not be a party to any obstruction. But I said this, and I said it in the presence of the ministers—"A day of heavy reckoning will come ; you will have to meet a new Parlia ment." No ministers in my memory ever incurred such responsibility ; and I say it now, that day of reckoning will be on the 31st of May, when this writ is returnable ; and I tell yon that I shall anxiously join with those who willcall Lord Derby . and the ministers to account for the great risk and danger which they have incurred by counselling this dissolution. (Applause.) Now, I hear also of the policy of my Lord Malmesbury, the Foreign Secretary of State—that he is the great mainstay of the ;peace of Europe—and that it is necessary to sustain the honour of England that h. shall continue to fill his present office. Now, "maintaining the honour of Eng land I" You have heard something, I have no doubt, of a quarrel between France and Portugal with regard to the slave trade. Portugal had the strongest claim upon the assistance and support of England, she having put down the slave trade at the instance of England. France had been trading in slaves upon the coast of Portugal. The Portu guese Government captured the French vessel so trading. France sent a naval force to the Tagus to demand the re lease of that vessel. There is on these hustings the brother of our Minister at Portugal, a man venerated by all here— the brother of Mr. Howard, of Corby, He was not wanting, I am sure, in the faithful discharge of his duty; but still, acting under the orders of Lord Malmesbury, he sang more small upon that occasion than any British Minister ever did in my memory, and the honour of England upon that occa sion was sustained by Lord Malmesbury intimating to the Portuguese Government that the French Government was strong, and they were weak, and the sooner they submitted the better. (Laughter and applause.) Well, now, " the honour of England sustained by Lord Malmesbury." With reference to this very same slave trade, a question arose between the United States of America and England. The slave trade cannot be put down upon the high seas unless the flag supposed under suspicious circumstances to be car rying slaves is visited by the British cruisers. That right of visit has from the very commencement of our efforts to put down the slave trade been exercised upon the high seas ; and what did this champion of the honour of England do ? Why, in a single personal communication with the Minister of the United States, he remonstrating against this accus tomed right of visit , it was renounced and abandoned by Lord Malmesbury ; and this champion of the honour of England did on that occasion renounce a right, a maritime right, on the part of England, which every Foreign Minister for the last 30 years has not hesitated to uphold. Now, so much for this champion of the honour of England. Well, now, there is the First Lord of the Admiralty. What has he done ? He has boasted that he was about to re-construct the British navy. What is his re-construc tion ? His reconstruction of the British navy has been the introduction into the Board of Admiralty of a principle never known there before, converting it into an electioneer ing machine. Sir Joha Pakington, too, made a speech at the Mansion-house on Monday last, and what did he say ? With very great cruelty he commented upon the character of the Parliament that was dead'. He kicked the dead lion. He said the Parliament which has just expired was a China Parliament, and deserved only to be broken. (Laughter.) He treated it like a potter's vessel, like a china utensil, that you might break at pleasure. But again, I say, on the 31st of May a new Parliament will be returned—a Parliament of rougher and stronger materials, I hope, than the last; and woe betide that Minister on whom that Parliament shall fall—woe betide him, for I tell you that this Parliament about to be assembled, if it fall upon any Minister, will grind him to powder. ( A Voice—" Jemmy, you would like to be in the new Parliament I" and laughter.) Yes • I am a candidate here to be in the new Parliament; and I seek no object of my own by obtaining a seat there. Often have I relinquished personal advantages in your service. I am ready to do so again, and if you send me to Parlia ment, I again repeat that an account shall be given for this dissolution; and though the last Parliament was broken like china, I am mistaken if the next Parliament does not break something else. (Cheers.) Well now, I see, at the Red Lion it is said that t am a factious opponent of the pre sent Government, and some surprise has been expressed at the course taken by me. Now you will remember that at the last general election I was not friendly to Lord Pal merston. I stated my-objections frankly and candidly on ught cond uctwas Conspiracy a that occasion. I took part in the vote which turned him te ic ta d h lk to l of th t t h e h o e o tßh u ia t ut— o o f i s ffi ea ce iro:n.h l eal wir)lo—lbnjwecohtobfro to o u th gm e h rs urdt on r under undue dictation from the French Government. I was opposed to that bill. Others on the other side of the hustings were not opposed on principle to. that bill; and yet, when it came to the point of turning out Lord Palmerston, they joined with me in the vote which condemned the bill. But having turned Lord Palmerston out of office, it did appear to me absolutely ne cessary to giv e a fair trial to the Government which suc ceeded him ; and on that ground, on public grounds, I did during last session give a fair trial to Lord Derby's Govern ment. They introduced, to be sure, an India Bill so fla grantly absurd that they had to withdraw it without even bringing it under discussion. That was their first India Bill ; but looking at the difficulties of their position, I as sisted them to the best of my power to pass the second bill. I agreed in the opinion expressed on Lord Canning's Oude proclamation, and during last session I gave them a candid and independent support. Something I see is made of the trifling circumstance of the side of the house on which I happen to sit. lam sorry to say that I am among the oldest members of the house ; and having occupied one place, without reference to change of parties—l occupied it in Lord Palmerston's time—l occupied it in Lord Derby's; but I have always made it understood, so occupying it, I was not to be included among Lord Derby's supporters. That I think was distinctly understood. Now, have I al ways given an unqualified support to Lord Derby's admi nistration ? What was my conduct in respect to the Church Rate Bill? Did I support Lord Derby's measure in respect to church rates ? Having given an explanation in refer ence to a statement he had made on the subject of Mr. Hodgson's support of the Jew Bill, the hon. crentleman continued :—Now, let us come to the Reform Bill. I find that Mr. Hodgson says that " Able and honest statesman, unconnected save by a desire to discharge the onerous duties which the British nation and Queen have imposed upon them, undertook to bring in a Reform Bill." Now, I shall ' pot stand here to say that notwithstanding all the antecedents of that Government it was not competent to them to deal with this question ; but dealing with it their mode of dealing with it must necessarily be viewed with suspicion. Now, " able- and honest statesmen, unconnected, save by a desire to discharge their oner ous duties." Have these able and honest statesmen been of one mind with respect to this Reform Bill ? Are not Mr. Walpole and Mr. Henley honest statesmen ? What did they say to this measure ? They said that the refusal to reduce the franchise below £lO was fatal to the measure, was dangerous in their opinion, and inconsistent w ith the content sought to be attained by passing a Reform Bill. And like honest men, entertaining that opinion, they withdrew from Lord Derby's Government, and withdrew [ith,he7nani::us pect of the Hot; l4'a admission of -their esty-aud virtue.-' hon. gentleman proceeded to comment his objections- to the bill, the principal of whic# wgie,thib7Ns7 disfranchisement of the 40s. freeholder s with votes in the counties, and the non-lower/444f thid. baimigh - fritnailse beleir LIO.

(Cheere_ancr e'ias for a large reduction of the franchise--for admission of ' working men. When he was last there he told. them that on the whole he was of opinion that the munieipal . franchise might be made the Parliamentary franchise. Ile retained that opinion now. If a man occupies a house for three years in the city—if for two years and a half ho p a ys his rates and all the taxes that come against him—he gives the security of an abiding interest in the place which he in habits ;• and his solvency, the regular payment of his rates, is a security for his thrift and his general character. Now, continued the hon. gentleman, I should not deal frankly with you if I blinked the question of the ballot. I cannot give you any pledge that I shall support the ballot. My opinions at present are hostile to it. I think that for any great act of public virtue something like personal sacrifice is necessary. Truth and honesty and plain dealing are the characteristics of my countrymen. I do not believe that when. it comes to a pinch. any man in his own person will fail to give effect to his honest opinions in the face of day. Truth and honesty, again I say, are the characteristics of the people of this country; and unhappy indeed will be the day for England when those who are entrusted with the franchise shall not exercise it manfully and openly. (Cheers.) I think a large extension of the•franchise is the best security against bribery and intimidation. Again, I think that bribery and intimidation are more exercised in small bo roughs than in large ones. That is a reason for the dis franchisement of a considerable number of small boroughs, and for that disfranchisement lam quite prepared. I n conclusion, the hon. gentleman, adverting to some remarks that had been made relative to a change in his opinions, said that, frail in his judo ment, i but honest in his purpose, he had changed m a n y opinions. To say that a man dealing with state affairs is not to change his opinions under any cir cumstances might be a recommendation fora lunatic asylum —it was not a recommendation for any deliberative assembly . in the world. (Loud cheers.) He confidently looked for ward to the result of the poll as offering him again the honour of being one of their representatives. ' '''';' , ..,H2ODOSOI.I and Mr. LAwSON then addressed Tun AtAI tin wen demanded a show of hands for the re spective candidates. There was a considerable majority in favour of Sir James Graham and Mr. Lawson. Mr. Head then demanded a poll on behalf of Mr. Hodgson, afterwhich the proceedings closed, having lasted nearly four hours. • = SHEFFIELD, . The nomination of candidates for the borough Sheinelcr i t took place yesterday. W. FISHER, sen., Esq., proposed john Arthur Roebuck! Esq. Mr. Alderman Duxx seconded the nomination. Mr. Alderman H. E. HOOLE proposed Geo. Hadfield, Esq. Mr. R. LEADER, jun., seconded the nomination of Mr. Eladfield. No other candidate being proposed, Mr. Roebuck and Mr. Hadfield were declared by the Mayor to be duly elected. The proceedings were at this point adjourned to the Tem perance-hall, when the Mayor again took the chair. Mr. ROEBTCK then addressed the meeting. In the course of his address he said—We are now upon a time of greater danger and doubt than I ever remember during my political life. (Hear, hear.) And upon the• conduct of the men sent to Parliament—the Parliament of England—upon this occasion, will depend the peace and the happiness of mankind. (Hear, hear.) If we be.wise, if we be prudent, if we be honest—(hear, hear)—then I think we may face the danger that is before us, and steer the vessel through all the rocks and shallows which she will have to thread. But, if it should so happen that you should send to Parlia ment to .represent you men who are unworthy of you, who are not prepared either with the honesty or intelligence re quisite, then indeed dire may be the misfortune which may befal England. We have before us two great matters—one relating to our internal concerns, the other relating to the peace and happiness of the world at large. Upon the sub ject, sir, of home importance—viz., the Reform Bill, I think you all know my opinions, and the opi n i ons o f m y hon. friend. (Hear, hear.) We are here because we would not give our sanction to a sham. (Cheers.) The late Par liament was dissolved for no great public purpose—(hear, hear)—but to suit private advantages. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) At this time, when the world's happiness is trembling in the balance, ought you not to have had a stable and a powerful government acting in your name ? (Hear, hear.) But, notwithstanding we all saw the danger which threatened, Lord Derby and our administration dis solved the Parliament, and England is now without a go vernment. (Hear, hear.) And what does take place, sir ? Why, it was clear to every man who knew anything of poli tics that, when last Saturday arrived, the despots of Eu rope would know that they were to act according to their desires, and we all predicted that war would be the imme- • diate result. And what has happened. ? (Hear, hear.) Why, upon that very day, we are told, the ultimatum of Austria went to Sardinia. War has happened, and though the mys tifications of the telegraph are now taking place, be you sure that war has happened, and that the fields of Italy will be deluged with blood. . For what has this taken place ? Under the guise of being a friend of freedom, the despot of France—(loud cheers)—is determined, for his own personal purposes, to break the peace of the world. It is he who has done the evil deed, and though Austria has no sympathy of mine —(hear, hear)—though I think she has put her armed heel upon the poor Italian, though misery has been the result of her dominion there, still for this war she is not answerable. (Cheers.) It is Louis Napoleon, the tyrant of France. (Hear, hear, and much applause.) Of that man I have spoken before—(hear, hear)—and I recol lect when I spoken upon the Conspiracy Bill my friends came to me and said, " You're mad, Roebuck." And what did one of those very men say to me two days ago ? " I thought you mad upon that occasion ; I now see you were the only man that was right." You cannet get good from bad men. (Hear, hear.) The tyrant gives. no. man liberty; (Hear, hear.) He who has cloven down all that was good - in the government cf his own country will not liberate others. (Hear, hear.) He who has broken every oath, who has steeped himself in perjury up to the very lips ; he who has stricken down men,_ women, and children in Paris, will not be the friend of freedom in Italy. (Hear, hear.) There fore my friends—constituents now I call you—l go to Par liament in your name, determined to protect England against the machinations of that man. (Cheers.) Friends of mine, friend of freedom, friends of peace, often have said to me, "Have faith in the good sense of mankind, don't arm yourself; don't prepare for mischief; have faith in ne gotiations ; mankind are wise, and they will seek out their own interests." My answer has always been, "My good friends, I wish as well to mankind as you do, but I've not that great faith in their good sense. ' (Cheers.) How has the result proved at the very present time ? Why, with England, and with all Europe pretty nearly, desirous o f peace, we have been unable by negotiation to put the curb upon the tyrants' rule. They have gone to war ; and what has England now to do ? Why, my friends, we shall be obliged to call upon you for the produce of your labour to protect yourselves, to protect your wives and children, to protect the great name of England. (Loud applause.) I know not what my colleague may say to this, for he is one of those easy-fated men who have great reliance upon the good sense of our fellow-countrymen—(" Hear, hear," and laughter)--rand I believe he is what is called a friend of peace. (Hear, hear.) lam also a friend of peace—(loud cheers)—but the difference between my friend and my self is this. I say that amongst the nations of the world, if England wishes to maintain peace she should show herself dangerous if she is meddled with. (Hear, hear.) The time has not yet arrived when, smitten on one cheek, it is wise to offer the other. (Hear.) If a man smite me I smite him. (Cries of " Hear, hear," and vehement cheering.) And if England wishes to be the arbitress of peace let her be prepared for war. (Hear, hear.) If the world - around her should know that the least infringe ment of the territory of England shall be followed by an instantaneous and terrible retribution, then I say England will be safe. But if it should ever so happen that in the British Channel a French and Russian fleet should ride s s hai I power, sha where not ere ridecivilisation E ha n t gl fi en eef the triumphant, where would be your commerce, whe re wou ld be y u your safe o t f y m , where ak ind? would triumphant in the Channel will be one of my first conside rations. (Tremendous plaudits.) There is nothing that I would not do—there is no vote that I would not pass—to maintain a triumphant fleet for England in the Channel. (Cheers.) No man more than I can deprecate the horror, the folly, the terrors of war; and everything that I can do in your name shall be done to keep the people .of England out of the terrible struggle that is about to take place. Mr. Roebuck concluded his address as follows :—What have we to do when we go to Parliament ? We shall have first to determine who shall govern this country ; and my belief is that a month shall not have passed away after the next meeting of Parliament before you will have a change of ad ministration. (Applause.) That will be the very first ques tion we shall h ave t o decide. Then we shall have to decide what power shall be conferred upon the working classes of this country ; then we shall have to decide that great, that terrible question. " What shall England do to maintain herself free from the turmoil of war—safe amidst a contend ing world ?" That we shall have to decide. (Hear, hear.) For the consideration of that great question, then, will be required the greatest possible prudence, the greatest possible calmness and long- sightedness. (Applause.) There must be no consideration of self—no paltry, petty consideration of party. (Cheers.) We shall have confided tons England's safety—England's glory. And if at that great moment we allow any base personal consideration to influence our mind and our determination, we shall be unworthy of our posi tion—we shall be unworthy of you. (Cheers.) For be lieve me, I am not one who flatters, and am not one who speaks to people that which I believe will tickle their ears ; but I have ever said, because I always thought, that the great interests of mankind are now confided to the people of England. The interests of the people of England will be confided to our coming Parliament, and to the House of Commons of the spring of 18e '9 the world's regards will be fixed for centuries to come. (Cheers.) Sir, on this theme, I could dilate, but I must recollect that I have a colleague who will speak at length to you —(go on, go on)—and I shall be wearying you. (Go on, go on.) But let me make one to England.At • this time appeal to you, and through you overnment. We have we are called upon to make d a " g our domestic us the happiness of Eng" in l of the concerns. We have before us the happmr Upon the electoral body_ England_ now depends the for . tunes of mankind, and I entreat them, I trust to them, to pers ona l considerations. Let them forget all pers not be won by artifices. Let them not be studious of personal considera- Let them think only of their own duty to E ng l a nd tions. and to man ki n d. (Applause.) So doing they will send a Parliament that shall confer power upon the great body of the working classes. They will send to Parliament men • who will maintain peace. These are the two great objects . we soon shall have to promote ; and in your name I promise you that, so far as my power goes, power s hall be confided to you, and peace, under Providence, shall be maintained. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) Mr. HADFIELD afterwards addressed the meeting, and the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the Mayer. DOVER. The nomination of two members of Parliament for the borough of Dover took place yesterday at noon. The hust ings were erected in the marka-place, where a dense crowd assembled, numbering four or five thousand persons. A great deal of uproar and disorder prevailed throughout the proceedings, which were repeatedly interrupted for half an hour at a time ; and so much of the day was wasted in senseless clamour and violence, that it was nearly four o'clock before Mr. Bernal Osborne, the first candidate pro posed, could get a hearing.
