GENTLEMEN, HER MAJESTY'S MINISTERS having de termined for issolve the present House of Commons. I hasten to solicit the fourth time a renewal of your confi dence, by my election as one of your Representatives in the new Parliament. The intended dissolution is occasioned by an adverse deci sion upon a measure introduced by Government, nnder the name of a "Bill to amend the laws relating. to the Represen tation of the People in England and Wales ;" and though some of its provisions appeared to me to be deserving of favourable consideration, yet as it negatived the reduction of the borough franchise, and i n other respects fell far short of the absolute requirements of r e f orm , I felt it a duty to record my vote in favour of Lord'John Russell's Resolution, which had the effect of defeating the Bill. The question is now in the hands of the people, and rests with them to prove to P arliament how far they are in it earnest on the vital subject of electoral reform. Trusting that I shall receive from you a proof of the undi minished confidence so generously extended to me at the last election, you may rely upon a consistent and independent course of action on my part upon the question of Parliamen tary Reform, and all other measures likely to advance the Social and political progress of the people and to uphold the honour and welfare of the country. My votes upon the Abolition of Church Rates, the Ballot, and all other great questions, are before' you for upwards of 20 years ; and b e li ev i ng that my fellow-c i t i zens approve of my public conduct as their Representative, and are well satis fied with my attention to all the local interests of this great city, I venture to entire orward to the result of the approach ing, election with confidence in the continued favour and support of the Livery and Electors ; at the same time deeply regretting the iuconvenience and injury Which I fear their trade may sustain by the dissolution of Parliament at the present moment. PORTS NIO LI TH. An active canvass is being carried on throughout the borough by the three rival candidates—Sir F. T. Baring and Admiral Sir H. ICeppell, K.C.8., in the Liberal interest, and Sir J. Elphinstone, Conservative. 42, PUBLICATIONS.

It has been for some years past a matter of notoriety that British and Irish linen manufactures, and also manufacturers ,cof hempen goods. have materially suffered from a deficient le,supply of fla x a n d hemp. This state of deficient supply arises from the fact that the cultivation of flax in Great Britain has Materially decreased instead of increased with the growing requirements of our linen manufactures. Our national cora- Inercial statistics show that, out of 150,000 tons of flax annu ly consumed in the United Kingdom,' not more than 50,000 ns are of home growth. In addition to this enormbus im eorrattaitvieontooftflhaexafgorricouuirtarlinisetn than nuftaetuhe usual produce e p h ro av d e uce als o o f i h ... i. erred- htmOreds or- thou ,, atitlS ur -quartesur-Ituseeu every year for home consumption. The linen manufacturers of the:United Kingdom have de clared that they are ready to take any quantity which can be grown at home, and at such prices as will be more remu ' nds. ; t The promoters of the National Flax Company are prepared e to prove to th e agriculturists of this country fi t h a t n o profitable crop can b e cu lti vate d t h anth atoa x , t r eatmentw hene v e whenever their system of r e tt or i es , an d improved m ech an i cal of flax fibre, shall b e a d o pt e d i n th e l oc alit ies a of its growth. The main feature of th e C om p an y' s plan trouble of preparing the flax for ma rket - entire] t h at y off the hands of the grower, by becoming the purchasers a the crop, an d thus leaving the grower entirely free from the hazards of bad harvesting weather, and at the same time ensuring him a certain handsome. profitable return for all the flax he can Eroduce and .deliver to the Company's depots and rettories. The Compaq's pprrations will also embrace the wh o l e o f th e requisite proceiss of preparing the flax and similar fibrous Substances readyifor the spinner. The system 6f preparation adopted by this Company is the subject of a patent, the invention of Mr. George Albemarle Cator, a gentleman who has made the cultivation of flax and ifs preparation for the spinner his especial study for many years past, he having fully demonstrated the great economy of labour and the very great improvement of the quality of the flax fibre, which is the result of his improved system of flax p reparation The system will be found fully detailed in the `Explanatory Pamphlet on Fls.4Cultivation and ration," It o be had free from the Secretary of the Company and its agents ; in 'which will also be found an exposition of the great importance of the home cultivation of flax, as in suring a regular supply of raw material to the very impor- tant national manufacture of linen and hempen goods ; half stuff for papermakers ; and of the importance of the seed for linseed oil and oileake. As an exam le of the intended o perations of the C ompany, the following is quot e d f rom the full prospectus of the Com pany : By rettories will be understood establishments where the preparation of flax fibre from the raw plant for the spinner a nd manufacturer will be carried outthrough all its stages. It is estimated that two rettories, on the scale proposed as the base of operations, will require eight patent machines. an d if constantly at work for, say, 309 days in the year, will produce annually 1,200 tons of flax fibre, 7,500 quarters of linseed, and 900 tons of tows ; and, allowing £5O per ton to be obtained for the flax fibre, 565. per quarter for the lin s deesoo. , and £5 per ton fdr th e t ows, there is a gross yield of 85, Assuming that it will take as much as 10 tons of flax straw nnseeded to produce one ton of flax fibre, at a cost of £4 per ton, and £lB per ton of fibre for all expenses, the total outlay will be £69,000, leaving a balance to be divided of £15,900, or nearly 30 per cent. upon £55,000 (the cost of the buildings, plant and machinery, together with a sufficient working capital for two rettories) which is wholly irrespective of the dividend thatdmay be e xp ected from license dues from other rettories ; tended, theal .as the operations of the Company are ex vidends will be in proportion The peculiar advaTages of Selby, in Yorks . hire, and the sur rounding fl ax _ theirvgraff districts, have decided the Company on establishing ter rrießttory in that neighbourhood.

It was convened by the Liberal Association for the pur pose of nominating candidates for the representation of the city. The present members, Sir Arthur Elton, Bait., and Mr. Wm. Tite, were on the plat form. The former, in consequence of voting for the Ministry on the Reform Bill, was received with loud hisses and expressions of disapprobation ; but the appearance of Mr. Tite was the signal for loud and continued cheering. Sir ARTHER ELTON endeavoured to address the assembly, but the uproar was so great that at least a quarter of an hour elapsed before he could obtain a hearing: Mr. Ting then. addressed the assembly and ob tained a most favourable reception. He described the Government Reform Bill as a very liberal measure for a Tory Government to bring forward, but unfortunately it shut out the freemen of towns from voting in counties, and it handed over those counties which were usually free into the hands of the landlords. Mr. GEORGE NORMAN then moved that Mr. Tite was a fit and proper person to represent the city of Bath. Mr. EDWARD . SAUNDERS seconded the motion, which on being put to the meeting was carried almost unanimously. Mr. GEO. EDWARDS then proposed a resolution, nominating Mr. Thomas Phinn, Q.C., which was seconded by Sir Henry Bayly. Major BAKER then proposed Mr. Arthur Edwia Way, of Ashton L o d ge . - &list i-,.e22,611.-tr - t.ue in etmurF - Pay ‘ , sr. b length, though at first he had great d i ffi cu l ty i n otaining a hearing. The names of Mr. Phinn and Mr. Way were then put to the meeting, when there was a very large majority for Mr. Phinn. The proceeding s then closed. BERWICK. Two riWicr candidates have offered themselves as representatives for this ancient border town. They are both Conservatives—Capt. Gordon and Mr. Ral:ph A. Erie (private secretary to Mr. Disraeli).

Denison (Liberal) retires from this borough, and offers himself for Scar borough. Mr. H. Edwards (Conservative) offers himself for re-election. A second Conservative candidate has been found in the person of Mr. J. R. Walker. BEWDLEY AND STOURPORT. Sir Thomas Winnington is canvassing these boroughs. BODMIN. Mr. James Wyld has issued his address to the electors. DROITIVICH. The following address has been issued by Sir John Pakington : " The present Parliament will shortly be dissolved, and I hope that you will again do me the honour to elect me as your representative. This is the eighth time that I have sought the honour at your hands ; the last occasion was little more than a year ago, when I accepted the arduous office which I now hold. At that time the Earl of Derby, in obedience to the commands of his Sovereign, had formed an Administration with the full knowledge that he was in a decided minority in the existing House of Commons. As members of the Government we therefore felt from the outset, that, whenever the discordant] sections opposed to us thought fit to combine in a hostile vote, we should be placed in a position which would make it our duty either to resign our offices or to advise a dissolution of Parliament. The adoption of one of these two courses has now been forced upon us by a motion which has, in my opinion, done little credit either to the statesmen who devised it, or to the majority by whichit was supported. At a moment of great public difficulty --at a time when a firm attitude on the part of England is essential to the maintenance of peace in Europe—at a time when the House of Commons was pledged to give " calm and impartial consideration" to the great subject of Parliamentary Reform, the leaders of the Opposition have thought it consistent with their duty even to refuse to consider a Reform Bill, and have preferred to make that bill an excuse for a factious motion and a party attack. We do not complain that our Reform Bill was opposed; our complaint is, that the men who professed to dislike the mea sure did not dare to meet it with open, straightforward op position. Their mancouvre, so far as the division was con cerned, has been successful, and her Majesty's Ministers have felt it to be their duty to advise an appeal to the con stituencies. The issue to be decided is simple and intel ligible. On the one hand, moderate reform and progressive improvement; on the other, an unsettled policy, too likely to end in democratic innovation and revolutionary change. I trust the decision will be such as to enable some party to carry on the Government of the country. These annual changes and incessant party struggles are injurious to our national interests. They impede useful legislation at home, they impair our power and influence abroad, and they tlrow doubt and discredit on our institutions. For myself, I only desire to be enabled, by your kind support, to continue the same course of public conduct which I have so long main tained. I have never entertained extreme opinions. I a m , and always have been, willing to concede any just claim of the working classes; and it shall be my endeavour, if once more intrusted with your confidence, to fulfil with honour and fidelity all the duties I may undertake, whether they be those of a Minister of the Crown or of an independent member of the House of Commons." There is no probability of any opposition to Sir John's return for the eighth time. DURHAM (SOUTH). Mr. H. Pease issued his address to the electors yesterday. ESSEX (NORTH). The Conservatives have not yet finally matured their arrangements here. Lieutenant-Colonel S. B. Ruggles Brise some time since i ssue d an ad dress, announcing his intention to come forward in the Conservative interest ; and as the sitting mem bers, Mr. C. Du Can e an d the Right Hon. W. Beresford, are both Conservatives, there are three candidates for two seats. Probably, however, matters will be adjusted in due course. Mr. Du Cane has lost no time in issuing an address to the electors. The Liberals have as :yet made no public move ment in this constituency. ESSEX (SOUTH). Mr. T. W. Bramston has, after all, consented to be again put in nomination for South Essex, in the LANCASHIRE. (SOUTH). An influential meeting of the Liberal freeholders of South Lancashire was held at Newall's-buildings, Mancbester, yesterday afternoon,=-Mr. George Wilson in the chair,—to receive a deputation from Liverpool respecting the future representation of the county. A resolution, to the effect that Mr. T. P. Heywood, banker, Liverpool, and Mr. John Cheetham, one of the present members, were fit and proper candidates for the representation of South Lancashire, was proposed and carried unani mously. LAMBETH. Mr. Williams haring - anhounced that it. is not his intention to offer himself as • a candidate at the ensuing election, Mr. PEkullon hes; ;mt.' fnrFnrd an addreg. , -" " 4 * i" - • - • present members. LEOMINSTER. The two Conservative members, Mr. Gathorne Hardy and the Hon. C. S. B. Hanbury, have al ready commenced their canvass, incited to vigorous action by the rumour that the seat will be contested by Mr. Wilde, Q.C., who, however, has not yet made his appearance. An address has been issued by Mr. Hardy, who was sent down expressly by his party to expound the Government policy, and animadvert upon the conduct of the Liberal party. LINCOLN. Major Sibthorp and Mr. Heneage, the sitting members, are soliciting the votes of the electors. Mr. Hinde Palmer ; the son-in-law of the. Right Hon. C. T. D'Eyncourt, and who contested this city on the last occasion, is again a candidate, on the ballot and other advanced liberal opinions. Mr. Palmer is firosecuting his canvass with all the success which his position on the former poll and his popularity at Lincoln led him to expect. The Liberal party are sanguine of success. LONDON. Requisitions are in course of signature to Lord Stanley and Mr. Thomas Baring. Lord Stanley is invited to offer himself for the City of London, as " a man of high position, influence, and indepen dence," and Mr. Baring is requested to become a candidate, " because it is of the utmost importance that a gentleman of high standing in the mercan tile world should represent the interests of the city of London in Parliament." MAIDSTONE. The Conservative party have brought forward Mr. Egerton V. Harcourt, son of the late Archbishop of York, and Mr. J. Wardlaw, of Langdon, near Maldon, Essex , to fill the places of Mr. B eres f or d Hope, who has become a candidate for the Univer sity of Cambridge, and Major Scott, who does not intend to offer himself for re-election. Both of the above gentlemen have issued addresses to the elec tors. Mr. W. Lee, the Liberal candidate, is actively and successfully prosecuting his canvass, and there is little doubt another candid a t e w ill be brought forward on the same side. MALD ON. In the address of Mr. T. S. Weston to the electors of Maldon, he says that Lord Derby's Government, having failed in their attempt to tamper with the representation of the people, have appealed to the country, but have misrepresented the issue to be tried—Reform. In his opinion the principles at stake are those of liberty and progress, and to save them from an insidious attack he spoke and voted for Lord John Russell's resolution. The assault on the borough of Maldon contemplated by the Govern ment bill was not the least wanton feature in it. Whatever redistribution of seats may be called for by the growth of population elsewhere, it is not at Maldon, with a constituent body of 1,071 electors, that any disfranchisement is justifiable. MONMOUTHSHIRE. Mr. Oetavius Morgan, brother of Sir Charles Morgan, Bart., has just issued an address, announc ing his intention to come forward for re-election. MONMOUTHSHIRE BOROUGHS. IVIr. Cra ws b ay B a il ey announces that he shal ' again solicit the suffrages of the electors. • NEWARK. Lord Lincoln has issued an address to the elec tors, solicting re-election. He states that he voted against the resolution of Lord J. Russell, because he was of opinion that the Government measure might have formed the basis of a satisfactory set tlement of an anxious question, if the house had consented to allow the bill to be considered in com mittee. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE (NORTH). Lord Burghley, who is at present detained in town upon a Parliamentary committee, has issued an address. Mr. George Ward Hunt, the other member for this division of the county, has also issued an address. NOTTINGHAM. Several efforts to induce Mr. Nicholl, jun., of Manchester, to reconsider his determination not to allow himself to be nominated in the Liberal in terest have failed. Another meeting of the heads of the Liberal party was held last night. The meet ing, which was very numerously attended, decided by a large majority in favour of Mr. Mellor, Q,c who was subsequently introduced and addres se d the electors at considerable length. OXFORD (UNIVERSITY). We are requested to state that Sir W. Heathcote KNARESBOROUGH. The present :members for this borough, Mr. T. Collins and Mr. B. T Woodd (Conservatives) have issued. addresses. A movement has been made by the Liberals, who have determined to ask Mr. H.S. Thompson, chair man of the North-Eastern Railway Company, and Mr. Farside Watson, barrister, Whitby, to b ecome candidates. DUNDEE. Sir John Ogilvy has issued an address to the electors, offering himself for re-election. He ex presses his intention to support any measure of reform comprising the reduction of the franchise to £lO in counties and £5 in burghs, the disfranchise ment of small English boroughs, and a distribution of seats, including an additional number of repre sentatives to Scotland and vote by ballot. The general impression is that there will not be a contest. EDINBURGH. Mr. Monereiff has issued an address to the eke tors of Edinburgh, in whith, after'requesting their suffrages, he adds : " The principles of political government which I av always held and on which I have endeavoured to act, are those which have contributed so much to make Edinburgh famous, and which Edinburgh had done so much , to pro- .„ mote. I 'can aspire to no higher honour than that of being chosen to maintain those principles as -your representative in Parliament." ELGIN BURGHS., ), _ q v: \ .

There is no prospect, in the meantime, of any opposition to Mr. Matheson, the member for the Inverness burghs. LEITH BURGHS. A communication was received on Thursday from Mr. Robertson Gladstone, delining the invitation to stand for these burghs. The same day the Liberal Conservatives held a meeting, at which a letter was read from Mr. T, W. Henderson, of London, who contested the burghs in 1852, signi fying his intention of amain becoming a candid a t e . A meeting of Mr. Mille r's supporters was held in the evening. LINLITHGOW (COUNTY OF). As the Lord Advocate, Mi. Charles Baillie, who was elected for this county only two months ago, is to be elevated to the Scottish bench, to fill the vacancy caused by-Lord Murray's 'death, the field is left clear in this county. Captain Walter Munn ton has been spoken of as his probable successor, and it is not likely that the county will be con tested with the ConservatiVes. MONTROSE BURGHS. Mr. Baxter has addressed his constituents, and is visiting the burghs. He is not likely to bo opposed. PERM The Hon. Arthur Kinnaird has issued an address offering himself for re-election. BELFAST. Sir H. M. Cairns, her Majesty's Solicitor-General, has issued an address to the electors of Belfast, con taining an elaborate defence of the policy of Lord Derby's Government. After reminding them that it is somewhat more than a year since, on the occa sion of his taking office under the Crown, that they renewed to him the high trust of representing them in Parliament, he proceeds as follows : " I may be allowed to glance back at the course of public affairs during the interval which has since elapsed. Thero has seldom been a period during which so many questions affecting the peace of Europe and our own friendly relations• with foreign Powers have presented themselves for solution. In the solution of these questions the national honour has been maintained • the inestimable blessing of p eace h as b een preserved ; a n d this country, by the firm and conciliatory course adopted, occupies at this moment the place of 'me diator between those great European Powers where mis understanding has arisen. The Home Government of India has been placed upon a new, and I hope a wise and perma nent basis. The great Indian rebellion has, under God's blessing, been extinguished. Means have been taken to promot the internal improvement of India, and to disen tangle and amend her intricate system of finance. The de fences of the country have been completed ; the efficiency of our army and navy has been increased ; and yet, not only has there been no sensible addition to public burdens, but those reductions in taxation which the public were led to expect have taken place. Measures of social improvement and progress of the greatest importance, and affecting every part of the kingdom, have been introduced and carried. Law reforms, long desired and long neglected, have been pro posed, and have been accepted with approbation by men of all parties. The testimony of the opponents of her Ma jesty's Ministers may be appealed to for the fact that t h e various administrative departments of Government have been conducted with an energy and with an adv v n it tr i ge to the public service which will bear comparison n measures proposed firmness and impartiality; and the publichave shown former period. In Ireland the law has administere y d proposed with regard to our native coun try looked be upon that the development of her resources judged of in no narrowmatters, or lec re ause of their bearing on Her Majesty's Government, not n as ig a g r e i rd l l m y. p s e p ri iri al t. qu G es e ti n o g n e , m an eet d , in any spirit of boasting, bu taintitorncoduweedhichinthoatdheofHteonubseeeonf raised - the subject now before ypu. fParl o i f am op e i n n t i a o ry n, o o n so great a sub jectytdhe arise e omuch bdifference lawl and d ord of e te r n to di m sa e p e p t e e in x t pr d, the e l l there we and many alterations of those details• might fairly be looked r m ep on re s se a at ti i ll ewn t . o d na a o m atur e for in the passage of the bill through the house. It was open to the opponents of the Government either to propose specific alterations in those details, or to urge the rejection of the bill altogether. The course, however, which was taken was, if not irregular, almost unprecedented. A small combination of statesmen, avowing their desire to con demn both the bill and the Government, proposed and carried a resolution framed in a manner so vague and ingenious as to obtain the votes of many members who—differing from the proposers of the resolution—desired to promote the bill and to maintain the Government. I ven ture to think that the course thus taken was an unpatriotic course —that it tends to bring Parliamentary warfare into discredit —and that it will not be approved by the country. The result, however, of this vote renders it impossible that the Government of the country can be carried on without an appeal to the constituencies, made by means of a disso lution of Parliament. The question on that appeal is no narrow one, as to the particular provisions of a Reform Bill. It is the Much greater question whether a Government, earnestly and successfully endeavouring to conduct publie affairs with advantage, is to be supported against the fac tious movements of those who are without that agreement and union which would enable them to form another Go- vernment in its place," The hon. and learned gentleman concludes bythank ing the electors of Belfast for the courtesy, they have extended to him, and soliciting re-election at their hands.
