BY .4 A MUEL LI'MEET, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, mstriruiated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospiial Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, , which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and preniature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any ether class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is ,articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the br.slth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is ntitied. It le absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are p•inelples of personal management which cannot be violated with o it incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret slic e ied the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, gni how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all, , hat there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional d •ranetement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

Gentlemen, T" Queen having confided to the Earl of Derby the duty of forming an Administration, her Majesty has been graciously pleased to confer upon me the office of Chancel lor of the Exchequer. I resign, therefore, into your hands the trust, which for 10 years, you have extended to me, as your member in the House of Corn. mons ; but as you have thought fit on several occasions to renew that mark of approbation, I beg leave to announce that on the day of election I shall solicit the honour of being, for the fifth time, your representative in Parliament. The circumstances of the country are, in many respects, critical; and in none more so than in its external relations. Painful miscon ceptions have arisen with the Government of that faithful and powerful ally, who, in so many instances, has proved his good feel ing and fidelity to this country. Believing that a cordial alliance between England and France is equally conducive to the interests of boils countries, I shall express my hope and conviction that by mea sures, at once firm and conciliatory, these causes of misunderstand ing may be speedily and entirely removed. If the country will heartily support the Queen's Government at this conjuncture, a result s desireable for the peace and progress of Europe will be greatly facilitated. Believe me, yours sincerely, Grosvenor-gate, Feb. 26, 1858. B. DISRAELI.

Lord Stanley, the new Secretary of State for the Colonies, was re elected yesterday for the borough of Lynn, Norfolk, without opposition, The proceedings, which were remarkably quiet and orderly, took place in the Guildhall, which was well filled with electors and others. Mr, Smetham, the mayor, officiated as return ing officer, and, after a few appropriate remarks, called upon the burgesses to nominate their candidates. His appeal was responded to by • Mr. Alderman MOTES, who proposed Lord Stanley as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament. The nomination was seconded by Mr. PLATTEN ; and, no other candidate being proposed, The MAYOR, amid some cheering, declared Lord Stanley dely elected. Lord STANLEY, on rising to address the electors, was received with great cheering. He said, gentlemen, I beg to thank you very sincerely for the honour which you have done me this day. Various occasions at inter vals of time, more or less distant, have brought us together in this room. This is the third time that I have had the honour of coming before you, and coming before you successfully, as a candidate, for your suffrages. (Hear, hear.) Perhaps you will not think that I am abusing your kindness if I venture to hope that after an acquaintance of nine years something less of form, some thing less of ceremony, something less of lengthened and elaborate explanatio n ma y b e requ i re d at my hands than if our politicalo on nece;on wereestly now beginning. (Cheers.) I come b e f ore yon to-day to ask you to ratify the step which I have taken in beceming a member of the national executive. On you, by the wise laws of England, is imposed the duty of declaring whether the acceptance of office by your member has alt , red the position which he holds in your esteem, or has induced you to withdraw that confidence which you formerly reposed in biro. That is the test to which I have to submit. It is a test to which I submit willingly, and as willingly, my term of power expired, be it short or long, I shall present myself here again to render you an account of my acts and to ask from you an assurance that the trust wieich you now confide to me has not been abused. A few words will suffice with re spect to the events of last year, which have now lost their immediate interest. It is not 12 months since I stood here last, and of my political life up to that date I think I have given you on more than one occasion a suffi ciently full explanation, The last session of Parliament was singularly barren of events. The war with China, the absorbing interest of the Indian mutiny, the inter ruption of Parliamentary proceeding s by the dissolution which occurred in the middle of the session seriously impeded the work of legislation. In regard to domestic policy the last session produced only two measures of importance—both of them measures to the expediency of which, if I recollect rightly, I had the honour of calling your attention two years ago ; both of them measures brought forward by the Government of the day, and both of them measures which I felt it my duty to sup port. One of these measures—the Testamentary Juris diction Bill—was a step, but only i. single step, in that course of Is gal reform of the necessity of which every year, and every day that I live, convinces me more and more. (Hear.) The other measure to which I refer was the Divorce Bill—a measure intended to render the law on that subject equal to rich and poor, and to give pro tection to the property of the wife in those cases of de sertion which too often occur. That bill was obstinately contested at every stage. The opposition to it, as far as I could understand its motives, rested principally upon souse ecclesiastical grounds. I had the honour of sup poiting the bill in every stage, and towards the close of the session we saw it pass into law. (Hear.) If any jus tification were wanted either to my mind or the minds of others for the course which I then took I should find it in what I see every day, You can hardly open a newspaper without seeing there recorded some appli cation to a court of justice for protection under the provisions of the new act. That circumstance I think &owe, what otherwise would have remained unknown, how much hardship and distress previously existed to which the Legislature has now for the first time applied a remedy. (Hear, hear.) These were the only matters of domestic policy which were settled in the last session of Parliament. In regard to financial affairs, owing to the pressure of war upon us, no reform was attempted, and I am bound to say no reform could have been attempted; while, with respect to the measures which were taken to relieve the pressure of commercial distress, although they received the retrospective sanction of the Legisla ture, they were taken in the first instance upon the re sponsibility and by the power of the Executive Govern ment. (Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, turning from the past, I believe I may say that the three subjects which at present most occupy public attention are,—first, the question of the administration of India; next, the question of Parliamentary reform ; and, thirdly, that of our relations with other European Powers, and espe cially with France. (Hear, hear.) To begin with the filet question, we have probably all of us heard various solo tions of the outbreak which occurred in India during the past year. 1 cannot say that any of these solutions are to my mind entirely satisfactory, awl, generally speaking, I have tfound that those who know least of the real condition or of the internal administration of India are precisely those who are most confident in assigning a cause for what has occurred. What I do believe is that the causes which led to this mutiny were not one, but many. No doubt, the annexation of the kingdom of Oude had some effect in creating alarm in the native mind, although it is worth notice that it did not produce any ill-feelin g or hostility against us on the part of those native princes who we should imagine would have been the most forward to resent that act of annexation. There is no doubt that the searching inquiry into land titles which was instituted some time ago alarmed many of the native chiefs. There is no doubt that the discipline of the army which revolted was de fective, and that the withdrawal of officers to fill civil situations affected it injuriously. But with all t th ho is se l m th y i s n t k er t io h u a s t great doubt prevailedwhat in al a oubt still rests on the causes of tins subject, outbreak. I think we are apt, in dealing with s those v subject, to a ll ow too little for those vague impulses, we g In es a a y eda call l menta l epidemics w hi c h have pre coun tries among an untaught people, and from which even the most civilised nations are not entirely free. (Hear.) I have seen a letter from an officer of the very highest r w a h n o k wanedetoefothfear as gre to ot denyabil the existenceitynowempl of employed in wide. I w adia, . spread conspiracy among the people, and even to doubt the existence of any conspiracy of long standing in the army. According to him it was the withdrawal of European forces from India that taught far the first time the Sepoys what power they possessed. One thing at least is clear, that hitherto in the compositiOn of our native force we have overlooked some ordinary precautions of prudence. We have taken the men whom we employed too much from not alwaysa single race been careful to cheek and control our native f orce b y a sufficient European army. (Hear, hear.) Th e remo d e lli ng o f th e car and from a single caste, sad we have Indian administration upon the spot will require the utmost care. The remodelling of the native army will require the more care because I do not hesitate to say that the proposition which gentlemen, to ieftnelnenb,ateon u e s nt a er t ta th in e e p d r o e f . holding India mainly by European troops i s u tt er ly im practicable. (Hear.) But, sent day the results of the Indian mutiny are mere important than its causes. What have we lost by it and what have we gained ? Our losses are easily recounted. The sacrifice of many valuabletlaikvees,laonhgeavyyeaerxspteondeixteurne., an increased military charge , and, what is f ar worse th an other y hand, we h ave ga i ned a all, I am afraid the re has bee n produced a bitter ani mosityguisknowledgeh. o (Hear . ) Ilr race er )w u our iOeha strength thina which we never possessed before. We have gained a knowledge that our rule is, do not say popular, for you can hardly expect that the Government of an alien race will be popular, but it is so far tolerable that the people will remain neutral, and will take no active part against us. Lastly we have gained— and I think it a great advantage —a knowledge of the fact that public opinion has been directed to Indian affairs in a greater degree than ever before, that public interest has been excited, and that the interests of our mighty p ( irew r i . l ) l not in fut ure b e neg l ec t e d a In speaki ng o f th e I n di an mutiny I do not vent ure to offer y ou that kind of con solation which consis ts in sayin g that thin g s mi g ht have ig th ht e y y have empire been worse tban they are, but I ask yo u to think what Eastern been. e 11 • 1 and s ofpree,' India had been an outbrea k re a y nationa , do not speak merely the over the whole coun try. our position would ha ve been if the p artial outbreak in material difficulties of the case. It would be no light matter to subjugate a populatiun exceeding fivefold the population of these islands. I know, however, that even against overwhelming numbers discipline will do much, but what I wish to say is that I cannot con ceive any task more utterly demoralising to those upon whom it should devolve than that of having to subju gate a nation struggling for its independence. (Hear.) Fortunate indeed may we consider ourselves who have been spared that trial. Our feelings of patriotism may thoroughly and fully coincide with our sense of justice. The class that arose against us was precisely the class which had least to complain of. It was that class which by taking service under us had, as it were, abjured its right to claim its nationality ; it was that class in regard to which we had, as I believe, no fault to reproach our selves with, except possibly in some respects the fault of over-indulgence. (Hear.) As to the future administra tion of India, you will probably not expect me to speak here much in detail ; but I may remind yon that five years ago, in 1853, the Ministry of the day brought in a measure which seemed to many members of Parliament unsatisfactory and incomplete, being founded upon an inquiry, which at the time was left unfinished. Many members of the House of Commons, of whom I was one, opposed that measure as being unsatisfactory, and asked for a longer delay, hoping it would lead to a more thorough reform. The opinion was overruled, and I con fess it is with some natural satisfaction that at the end of five years,l see those who were the authors of the measure of 1853 coming forward to condemn it as unsatisfactory, to say that we were right and they were wrong, that a more thorough measure of administrative reform is re quired, and themselves undertaking to propose a measure of that kind. (Hear, hear.) In the course of the debates in 1853 a motion was made by a private member for the carrying on of the government of India in the name of the Crown. That motion I supported, not holding that it was in the nature of a penal proceeding against the Com pany, nor holding that it necessarily involved any con demnation of the manner in which they have conducted the management of affairs, but thinking that the Govern ment in the name of the Company was in its nature only provisional and temporary, and that the only natural connection of a vast dependency like India with the do minant country was a connection with the executive of the latter. (Hear.) No doubt a change of that nature at first sight appears one of the most momentous that the human imagination can conceive. To transfer 150,000,000 men, one-sixth of the the whole human race, and a terri tory larger than all western Europe, and separated from England by a distance of half the globe from an indepen dent Company to the Crown—to do this, moreover, in a time of civil war not absolutely appeased—undoubtedly appears a gigantic and eves a rash enterprise. Thetis the first aspect of the question, but when you come to look a little more closely into the history of Indian affairs the change is seen to be less than at first sight it seemed. During the last three-quarters of a century—that is to say, during the time when the greater part of our Indian empire has been acquired a double process has been going on. On the one hand you have had the territory of the Company censtantly cx`ending— province has Leen added atter province, victory has followed victory, and the arms and power of the Company have advanced without a check. Oa the other hand, if you look at home, you will see that there has been a continual process of absorption and annexation, as it were, of the' Company itself by the general Government of England. The institu tion of the Board of Control in 1784, the loss of the monopoly, the loss of the trade with India, the loss of the trade] With China, am', lastly, the introduction of t' e nominee element into the directorate itself, are all of them gradual and successive steps in that process which I have described. The transfer, therefore, from the Company to the Crown is not so much a departure from what has been done hitherto as a necessary consequence of it, a carrying out of former measures to their only legitimate and natural conclusion. (Hear.) No doubt the question is one which presents great difficulty of detail. No doubt there is danger in any arrangement which you can make respecting the patronage of India. That is the point upon which Parliament and the public are justly susceptible. No doubt, also, there is difficulty in so adjusting the council er advising body which you must have that it shall be capable of giving honest and independent advice without at the came time dividing and weakening that Ministerial responsibility which it is your object to pr serve undiminished. (Hear.) There is just one principle which I think we may lay down. It is not likely that, after the excitement and interest of the present crisis have gone by, Parliament will inter fere to any great extent in the details of Indian admini stration. It is not likely that every Indian Minister, or statesman trained in the school of Ecglieh will be as familiar with those details as the noble lord who now fi h that office. You cannot, as I said, give the supreme direction of affairs to an advising council without weakening the responsibility of the Minister. What, then, is your resource in this diffi,ulty ? Mainly, I think, this, that the government of India must be carried on as far as possible in India. (Hear.) You place the Governor-General in a position of great autho rity. He ought to be a man of the highest talents and the greatest energy. He is surrounded by men formed in that admirable school, the civil and military service of India—a service the efficiency of which - I refer to the civil branch especially—will be greatly increased by the reform which was made in 1853. Being such a man, so circemstanced, and surrounded by such advantages, I apprehend it will be found best to leave him a large authority and a wide discretion. (Hear, hear.) Much has been said of the influence of public opinion at home upon Indian affairs, and there are many persons who fear that any change in the method of administra tion will increase that power. I hold that the effect of English public opinion upon Indian affairs will be of a very mixed character, I have no doubt it will be greatly beneficial as regards questions of public works and ques tions of taxes and finance ; but in matters which concern native habits and prejudices it will be liable to abuse. But what I wish to point out to you is that, whether the effect upon India be good orbad, it is a result which it is not in our power to control. (Hear.) It is not only the proceedings of the 'Legislature during the last few years that have created the increased interest which is felt in Indian affairs. Teat interest is due to greater facilities of communication, to the overland route, to lines of telegraph, to the vast increase of the Indian trade, to the increase of the European population in India, and, lastly, to the excitement produced by the late events. These are results which legislation did not produce and which legislation cannot prevent. (Hear, hear.) One word more upon the Indian question, and I have done with it. You have heard a great deal of the discouragement given to the profession of Christianity in India, of the patronage of native religions, and of the necessity of employing active means for spreading our own form of belief in that country. Now, I venture to say that nine-tenths of the stories we are told respecting what is called the discouragement of Christianity by the government of the Company are absolutely untrue, and that the other one tenth is grossly exaggerated. No doubt, if any obstacle has been thrown in the way of any person conscien tiously becoming a convert to the Christian religion, it is a violation on our part of the principle of duty, and if all the demand was that no such obstacle should he in terposed, I, for one, would not be inclined to offer any opposition; but when it is asked that the government of India should violate the rule of neutrality in such mat ters, and should directly favour and encoura g e conver sions to Christianity, I say that is a false and dangerous principle, which may carry yOu further than you intend, and the only legitimate end of which will be in persecn. tion. I do not say that if such an attempt were made it would fail entirely. On the contrary, I think to a certain extent it would succeed. The power of government is very great in Eastern countries. There are very large numbers of persons who think they have something to hope or something to fear from the executive power ; and I do not doubt that if it were held out to the natives of India that the Governmentfavoured those who adopted the European religion, a large number of converts of one sort or another would be the result, but they would be exactly the class of men who have neither characters to lose nor consciences to restrain them. They would bring discredit upon the European belief, and the only effect of their adherence would be to alienate the more respectable classes among the natives. (Cheers.) lam satisfied, therefore, that the course which has been hitherto followed of strict religious neutrality is the only one which is either wise or just. lam sure that cue opinions wile never be respected in India—l am sure just wise, our Government will never be regarded as wiee, or beneficial, unless we rigidly abstain from en forcing those opinions upon others, and unless that Go vernment limits its functions to those which properly belong to it. (Cheers.) With respect, gentlemen, to the subject of Parliamentary reform, Ihave, as you know, explained my views before in this hal!. I am bound to say that those views remain unchanged. (Hear, hear.) I believe there is no statesman now, in whatever pact of either house he may sit, who considers or calls the Reform Bill of 1832 a final measure. (Hear, hear.) No one denies that some modification of that bill is required. ro o hn n a n op d fs tlroe representative e saythatna t osf t e h r e ef ocon ductr Parlia mentyear s siu.eL itsel f—upon Lord ds t h . e Russell n u s e e s e t eb l i l Bill, and, as far as one can judge, we not seem b has ßtit n ho o af t vpi b nu e gb e l a si altogethercai men—and th atla s m a p tisfactory.

Although that state of things has arisen rather from accident than from any settled purpose it is doubly un fortunate because apart from the practical inconvenience which it causes, it produces a suspicion—an unfounded but, nevertheless, a very general suspicion—that our present representation is arranged in such a manner as to be rather delusive than real. But the whole subject is full of difficulty —difficulty which seems to increase in magnitude the more one considers it. Any plan that is proposed requires care and consideration, and I think, . therefore, the demand which we make for time will not be held unreasonable. There is just one word of expla nation which I should like to offer upon this subject. If any motions are made suggesting this or that partial alteration in the franchise, and not dealing with the subject as a whole, I repeat to you now, what I said before, that I shall be bound to give nay vote against any such propositions. I shall do se, not as neces sarily condemning the prop , sals themselves, but simply because we should refuse to consider in a fragmentary and partial way a question which, to be dealt with effectually, should ha dealt with as a whole. (Hear, hear.) It is quite idle to suppose that a question involving such important interests can be 'dis cussed without a certain amount of excitement, and even of asperity. But lam confident that whatever discus sions may take place on the subject, either in the pre sent or in any future session of Parliament, will be car ried on in a very different temper and with very diffe rent feeling from those of 25 years ago. I say that not merely on account of the gradual approximation of opinion among leading men, which is one of the most remarkable political phenomena of our time, but also because I think—and you will not, I am sure, miscon strue what I say—the question itself has lost a portion 'of the importance whicu it formerly possessed. Fifty years ago Parliament had an almost exclusive power of forming public opinion upon all questions of the time. That state of things has changed. The vast develop. ment of the power of the press during the last quarter of a century has introduced into modern politics an entirely new element. (Hear, hear.) It is impassible to sit in Parliament without seeing how far and to how great an extent modern journalism affects even our Parliamentary debates. That power of the press is in itself a representation. (Hear, hear.) It is the best protection, as I believe, of the poor and the humble against the powerful. It is a protection which no legis lation created ; it is a protection which no legislation can take away ; and it is not one of the least subjects of satisfaction to me, looking back at the few years which I have passed in public life, to think that I was one of those who took part in a measure—l mean the removal of the stamp duty—which has given an increased &we loprne_t to journalism, and of which we have as yet only a small portion of the effects. (Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, I come to the subject in which perhaps the liveliest interest is felt at the present moment. I mean our relations with foreign Powers, and especially with France. I apprehend that men of all parties agree, looking at it as a matter of reason rather than of feeling, that upon a close and intimate alliance betweea England and France the best hopes of Earo- pears civilisation depend. (Hear, hear.) There exhet between the two countries differences of national character, but great as those d.fLrences are there ars resembles far more important. In strong patriotism, in a quick sense of personal honour, in physical courage, in energy and capacity for action, in a love of inquiry and free thought, is the prep niderance of the intellecnial over the lower parts of our nature, we of the two nations are alike. In science, in philosophy, and in politics Franca has received from us some of her mo , t, valuable idea,. and she in return has given to those ideas a dif fusion and development over continental Europe, such as, from our insular position, and per/ apa I may say, our insular character, they would not have been likely, without such co-operation, to obtain. (Hear, hear.) I say, therefore, that both France and England are gainers by our intercourse, apart from the material advantages of trade, and apart from the question of political secu rity. Do not imagine that between the two countries a position of indifference or of neutrality towards one another is long possible. Wo are locally too near, we are too important among the nations of the world, we have been too long and too often rivals, to make a state of indifference possible. We want a close and intimate friendship as a guarantee against national jealousy and rivalry. (Hear, hear.) That a war between the two nations would be the worst evil that could afflict humanity is a propositicn which, I think, needs no words t) prove; but I will go further, and say that a disunion between the two countries, falling short of war, would be in itself a great misfortune to int' ipe. It would leave European diplomacy without guidancs, and the weaker and inferior nations without an arbiter. Nor is this all. In every age that old question of the " balance of power" assumes a now form. That queetion no longer concerns Western Europe alone. Two empires are spring ing up in the East and in the West; they are already of first-rate magnitude, and both of them aro increas ing —not mainly or necessarily by aggression upon others, but simply by natural moans—at a rate of pro gress which far exceeds that of ourselves. Looking merely at the matter of population, it is impossible not to see that, unless some unforeseen events take place, America and Russia will 100 years hence, perhaps even 60 years hence, be numerically the most powerful empires upon the globe. I say numerically, and of course in that reckoning I do not include India, because it can hardly ha considered an element cf strength in respect of population. Now, of both these great empires I speak with no feeling of jealousy; I speak of them both with respect ; of one I speak with sincere admira tion and sympathy, but still, as society is constituted, it must happen that independent nations will have different interests. A position of inferiority is never satisfactory, and it is not always even safe. What I say therefore is, that if Western Europe—at this moment the very focus and centre of civilisation throughout the world—is to hold its own—is to hold in another gene ration the place which it occupies in the present, it must be by a cordial and friendly union among its leading Powers. (Hear, hear.) Such, gentlemen, is to us the value of the alliance with France. Has that alliance been endangered 'I." We cannot deny that of late there has existed a good deal of irritation in both countries. How did that irritation originate ? Not long ago, as you all know, au attempt was made in Paris to commit a crime which political fanaticism can never justify or excuse—a crime which, if those who tried to perpetrate it would not admit to be an outrage against humanity, they must at least perceive to be for their own cause a gross and suicidal blunder. (Hear, hear.) That attempt failed, but it failed narrowly. Never man's life was in greater danger than the life of the Emperor of the French. Now, what would have followed upon that one man's death! Perhaps civil war, pro bably serious internal disturbances, certainly deep and widespread alarm, paralising industry and disturbing all the ordinary relations of life. It is not extraordinary, I think, that so great a peril, so narrowly escaped, should have produced in the minds of the French people a feeling of alarm ; nor is it extraordinary that that alarm should have found vent, as it often does, in a somewhat indiscriminate feeling of irritation and anger —a feeling which prevents men from accurately distin guishing between the innocent and the guilty. It was believed that the plot which had failed was concocted in England.. A cry arose—a cry, no doubt, foolish and wild—against what were supposed to be the laws and institutions which had permitted such outrages to be attempted. Naturally, that expression of irritation in France produced resentment here. Some unfortunate publications, with the history of which you are all familiar, and with regard to which I wish only to say that I think they have very amply apologised and at med for, in creased that resentment. When that feeling was at its height a despatch was written by the French Minister and published here, the style and substance of which was, to say the least, capable of misconstruction. It has been said, since that despatch appeared, that it was not intended to be male public, which was the act of our Government, and not of the Government cf French. I have no doubt that that statement is true, but still, as public men, we have to deal with facts, and not with intentions alone. (Hear.) The despatch was made public; it was left unanswered ; a bill was brought into Parlia ment, avowedly to satisfy the demand made upon natural Government, and, that being the cate, that a measure so introduced should be viewed with whichmore 1 than ordinary jealousy. (Hear.) With the events ,sly ell it was . n h at I followed you are all familiar. I esu on t l , y that the result was quite as unexpected possibly could be to any of you. that those who ara do—l think I may venture to say h d ad satyo no m th e ing as t i o t do—with framing, or suggesting,t - on o f thelate Government. concerned in the present Ad ini str u a r ti p o r n op h u a s d i u n g o t t h h e ing m t o o (ion which lid to the resignaoi opinion "Aye" or " No" We were asked to t Zorn- We were asked to or the Government of Lord had done right or wrong, wisely or un- Palmerston giveupon o a u q r u opinionest i give l w •ig h h e t t o h. o u r r I w i se ly, in leaving T u u na t n h a a w t e ri re u d est t i h un e sduesppuattc—hatuod w it h w ic a le s reply by I have referred. but our on e which it was possible vote one way or the other—there w a question which we could not avoida a nsw s no answering for me to give. (Cheers.) Th a t is the whole history of the r ec e n t change of Ministry. Now, gentlemen, the present Government have been asked what they mean to do with respect to the measure which occasioned these events. (Hear, hear.) To that I answer, we are in no sense pledged to the bill Lrought forward by Lord Palmerton, and with that bili we hava nothing to do. Whether any change in tlte law of England be requ i re d i s a matter in dispute among lawyers. Lord Campbell, one of the greatest living authorities, says that no change is re quired, and that the powers of the commos law are sufficient. I lioie, and shall be glad to believe, that he is right ; but that is a question which will probably soon receive an authoritative dseision, far it is one which must probably be raised and decided in the course of seine proceedings now pending ; and until it is so raised and so decided it is impossible to give any decisive reply to the question aq to what we intend to do. Of this only I ;tin cc - utiin, that if it should be neceetar y to frame any measu re f or th e repress i on o f a tt em pt s a t assassi nation, which I think—at all events, I hope—is une likely, it will be a measure, not founded uposnith solely demands of even a friendly Power, but Laced o ired to and simply upon a sense of what is re , make all residents in England equally aa:l.llWe to 1 • G-G e•-• '~ ~.: ~' - PAPE it •-•.: ,-..";-_, i ; , 4 1411t4ii Wlz , l , 9 - :\ 7- , ) , i-- -...: ''' S . - . • - s - ' 4 :../,,' . .t questionEngland,oabt(e Hda in o :yan t rc h l aoai hear.) easean l u, rad: under tide w dnuAedt h yre i b c raow h i nnv,h whisk while it afferde el bound a h e h onv e e me m e l r x a td t w i hts h r otee el mer f n ayenethndt protection aheaart j of modifying in the minutest degree, that : 1-Am i ni g lia' h atyi t ill' o lztline f tr: a in're s ts y nith. l :ae nps eenten: which has been through all ages our proud prerogative, has bee t n h e claimed, imperial a ttdr cla imed°ti e - oof N s a u p e c c i l e e s o s n f u 1 by iY : of the house of B ourbis successivel ; ex• and b t y w o a w m h e m ich br candidate es for pelled by an indignant people, and by another cl ass of exiles, men varying no doubt in character and in shades of opinion, but men by a great majority of whom I am well convinced no sympathy ever has been or can be felt with assassins or assassination —(cheers)—men who have left home and friends and property, and have fought and would have died for a hope which failed them and for an idea which they could not realise, but a hope which even in failure was noble, and an idea which at least was un selfish. (Cheers.) Honour, I say, to the victims of political conflict, be they whom they may—honour to courage, to self-sacrifice, and to misfortune, for in self sacrifice conscience is honoured, and it is that firm per sisteney in political convictions which we respect in others that to Englishmen has been the permanent secu rity and the truest guarantee for their national rights and their constitutional freedom. (Cheers.) I say, then, yon need have no fear, whoever may conduct the government of this country, that that right of asylum shall be in any degree diminished. Whatever mistakes and misappre hension may have been produced by the document to which I have referred will, I hope, be removed by a friendly and temperate reply, and in the meantime, we are not prepared to introduce any change in our law until we are well satisfied by actual trial that the present law is deficient for the purposes of justice. (Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, I have detained you, I feel, at great length, but before con eluding let me ray one word, and one only, which shall be personal to myself. Often when on former occasions I have addressed you in this place I have stated minutely my views upon the various questions which were likely to come before Parliament. As a private member that course was in my power to take. As a private member I had to consult upon each measure coming before Parliament only my own individual judgment and con science. The position of any one who is a member of the Government is necessarily different and imposes some degree of reserve. Whoever takes service in the ranks of an Administration pledges himself so long as he remains there to abide upon all important questions by the decision of that collective body. He can, therefore, give no promises and no pledges, except that promise which impliedly every public man is bound to give— viz., to think and act and speak upon all questions as he may deem best for the national interests. (Hear, hear.) It is by actions, not by words, by results, and not merely by intentione, that those engaged in the manage ment of affairs should be tested, As for myself, I can honesty say that I have not sought, that I have not desired, the possession of executive power. No wan can tell on undertaking a business which is new to him, whether he shall succeed or fail. I have accepted office solely because, under the peculiar personal circumstances in which I am placed, it seemed to me I had no right to decline. (Hear.) I have accepted office became at the present time it seemed to me a paramount duty to do what in me lay to support the poli ical position of one with whom I am connected by nearer ties than any that can ariro out of the relations of public life. (Cheers.) As to the future, even the immediate future, it is idle to think of it. (EL-ar, hear.) If we are suffered to remain where we are—if Parliament and the public shall give us—l do not say their confidence, but their sup pert, I hope we shall know how to maintain the honour of Eng!and abroad and provide for the good administra tion of affairs at home. (Hear.) If we are not to be trusted, I, for one, shall return to the position of a private member with no reluctance and with no regret, con vinced that by no act of mine I shal either have for feted your esteem or violated my own convictions of duty. Of oLe thing at least .I - am assured,—that, be the changes and chances of political life what they may, t 3 whatever hand the guidance of the administration may be intrusted, there is in the English people enough of knowled2e and of public Writ to correct any errors into which their servants may fall, and to ensure a steady continuance in that course of moral, social, and political improvement for which this country stands distinguished above all other countries, and for which this age is pre. eminent above all former ages. (Loud cheers.) On the motion of the noble lord, a vote of thanks was awarded to the Mayor, who acknowledged the compli ment, and, three cheers having been given for" Stanley," the proceedings terminated. HUNTINGDON. THE MINISTER FOR WAR. The re-election of General Peel as member for the Ueited Boroughs of Huntingdon and Godmanchester to de place yesterday ( Thursday), in the Shire-hall, Huntingdon. There was no opposition, and the pro ceedings altogether did nut occupy more than an hour. Mr. Dennis Herbert proposed, and Frederick James Howson seconded the nomination of General Peel. General PEEL, after expressing to the constituency of the united boroughs his gratitude for the honour they had conferred upon him for the eleventh time, said he was sure that if any one had predicted a fort nizht ago that he should be addressing them at that moment, he should have treated such prediction as one of the wildest fits of the most vivid of ima ginations, he should net have considered anything se ini• probable—the result, however, only showed that fact was stronger than fiction. Lord Palreereton had ex hibited such strength in his major:tiee on bringing in the Conspiracy and India Bills, that it appeared impossible that he should be driven from office by an adverse vete, but from the time that Count Walew,ki's despatch was brought to the house, and it was known that no answer had been given, it was felt that something was wanting which was due to the honour of England—(cheers) —and that that despatch ought not to be allowed to be recei ved, containing as it did some expressions which at least re quired explanation ; that it should not be received without a denial of at least a part of it. (Cheers.) That such was the case had been decided by the vote of a majority comprising members of every political section of the House of Commons, and that without any pre vious agreed combination. (Cheers.) Oa that vote being come to Lord Palmerston had adopted the consti tutional course of placii ' s his resignation i n th e h an d s of her Majesty, and Lord Derby had been called upan to form a government. Personally, lie (General Peel) was not an-xious for office, and he had twice refused it under the Government of his brother, but when Lord Derby said to him that his acceptance of the office he had the honour to hold wou l d assist him in forming a Conserve tile Government, he did not allow his own knowledge of his incompetency and want of official experience to deter him for ono moment from offering the noble Premier every aid in his power. (Cheers.) Ho placed in Lord Derby that confidence which he trusted they reposed in hire ; he asked from Lord Derby no pledge upon this subject or that, but took for his guarantee the high and honourable names included in the Ministry. Fur himself he would venture to say that more real pro gress was made under a moderate Government than v u i i o id le e n r t on n e at c n o r m e p o o f se t d he o i f r ex m t e re a m sn e re p a el n ti s c i ca r n ed s, t w h e h i o r d by efe t a h t e . After the luminous expositron of the Earl of Derby of it t he w pr o i u n l e d ip h le a s atbhasutrwd i ou n ld course h g i u m ide to th to euchup on more than of the cabinet foreign relations. (Cheer s .) points, and the first subject he would the Government was not o n ly If o ,vl n lin e tdh o e r r eg t tao w r o d wtio)aoaFi rance, e, anxious to removeany mistrust or coolness that might exist between the two powers, but firmly to cement an alliance which was so necessary, not only to the preservation of their own peace, but that of the world. Both Govern ments were so impressed with the importance of this alliance, that he would venture to say there would be no difficulty in the maintenance of the alliance, due regard being had to the honour of both. His own opinion was that foreigners in this country should be free to come and go, they might enjoy the benefit of our laws, he in that respect recognised no difference between a foreigner and an Englishman ; but if an alteration in our laws was necessary, it should be made without reference to the way in which it would affect the foreigner. He would venture to Fay that there was no crime more universally abhorred in England than that of assassination ; bu e as nt without ijo rd Derbycou v E i n o g ti l o is o hm on en io w d o is u p h u l ta n b o l t e a e w v a id rd ni eu p o u e,a sh ud m s.tid, " Suspicion and notoriety were terms unknown in our criminal jurisprudence." (Cheers.) On the second point he quite agreed with his noble colleague the Earl of Derby ; he thought it would have been more prudent to postpone the introduction of the India Bill until India was in a more tranquil state. It had, however, been decided by vote that the Government of India should be placed at once in the hands of the Crown, su a c ti h d , t t h h a is t y see the h m e a n d a e d th n e o p d o o s n i h ti t on ite of r t e h p e re E s a e s n t t l at n i d v i e a s C w om ou p ladn im propriety of attempting to delay it. He trusted that the exertions of his gallant friend, Sir Colin Campbell, would achieve the pacification of India, and that it would b e maintained by au India Bill. The third and last point he would allude to was parliamentary reform; and though he was one of those who on the whole was satis fied with the present investiture of the franchise, he would frankly admit that many parties entitled thereto were new debarred from it. (Cheers.) He would, therefore, cordially and heartily assist in the passing of any measure which w ou ld confer it en those parties. (Cheers.) He was sure they would excuse him if he refrained from entering on other points ; it was not affoc. tation on his part that induced him to say eo, as he had not yet been long enough in office to acquire it—(laugh. ter)—but he knew that anything he might say at the moment would have an importance attached to it which it would not otherwise deserve. He threw himself, then, on their indulgence, and would simply add, with regard to his own office, that he would do all he could to pro mote the comfort and ease of the soldier. If he succeeded in that, then indeed he should not fail to do some good. He was aware, of the difficulties the Government would have to , ncounter—he was aware that they were in a minority is the Heuee of Commons, but they asked no forbearance from the r opponents, they asked only that which, under the circumstances, they were pre-eminently entitled to—fair play. (Cheers.) They asked to be judged by their measures, and if under the Divine blessing f th f .ey . succeeded in upholding the honour and interests of country, he trinded they would be supported G be should bo the first to hail the day when the , ri 1 EaSET General PEEL then proposed ; and_ and the pro. should pass into opposition.
