Just published, price ls., post free, in an Envelope, for 13 stamps, SELF- PRESERVATION . —A Medical Treatise on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System, and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage from youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Phy siology of Marriage in its social, moral, and physical rela tions. To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life within Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examina tion, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom, and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting - of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great clemand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. .., .✓ ~^ ~~i2~-~~- ~~~ - . / e?^1 :-.- - - _../ r - „ , , • . _ . . . • ....... ; 414 4, 1 - -- -.. . - ...„ , • ~ • .., i 0 o. • 4.- car - ~..,... ,- Al 'i , 4 3 lin . .. „..„..A. ..,„e,:i--I‘, ..,...„..,. _ ..__.,...,,„.....,,. ~ 1 ' ' ~, , , tOlit.l:-."- - ,,,,„ .:, / ~,, ~. , ..., ~,. ~ . , , 0,,, . -• , A,...) ~,,. , • ~, ' q .. 2111‘ ~., '7' 1 . .: . ..P ' 16 14' 1 :It' -;, c y_ - , 43,t,i.,406:1.. , . .4.

ROYAL NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITU TION.—The Committee of this Institution would call attention to the fact that 398 persons were saved from wrecks during the past year by the Society's lifeboats • and those o f other bodies ; that it has now seventy-three life-boats under its management ; that it has twelve more boats nearly ready to be sent to their stations ; and thit a large number of addi tional life-boats are wanted on the coasts. The constant de mands on the limited Funds of the Institution are therefore necessarily very heavy, and the Committee earnestly appeal to the public at large for assistance. THOMAS BARING, Chairman.

As to the necessity for theSe great works, he had heard a ship captain in Dundee say to the Commissioners that more - vessels had been lost running for harbours of refuge than had ever been lost putting out to sea. The statistics of the loss of lives and vessels that might have been saved by such, harbours were regarded by many as delusive. Un seaworthy ships and drunken captains, and not bad weather alone, were the causes of wrecks; and, as the vast sum of £2,315,788 had been voted since 1851 for harbours of refuge, the representatives of the people would require to look narrowly into the drain going on, and try to put a stop to it. Mr. Wilson's committee - were in favour of great works. The estimates given in their report were as follows : Wick, Mr. Coode, engineer £186,000 • Peterhead, Mr. Stevenson Hartlepool, Mr_ Rendel Eiley Bay, Mr. Coode „ 860,000 Filey Head, Mr. Abernethy St Ives (estimate ) Fort Rush, Skernes Now, it might be necessary to spend a small sum at some of these places ; at Wick, for example, where the herring fishety is perilous ; but such works as Dove]; •aral , ,Alderney, should cer tainly be put iL7stop to. As to charging dues on harbours of refuge, he found that Capt. 'Washing ton was wrong, and he (Mr. Baxter) was right ; as taking Dover as an instSnce, in 1852, besides the passing toll of £12,000 a-year, vessels using the harbour both for trade and for refuge were charged tonnage dues, wharfage, and cranage, and other rates. He was glad to observe, from a statement in a Liverpool paper, that the public elsewhere were watching the proceedings of the commissioners and were asking who is responsible for this expenditure of public money. Mr. Baxter, then referring to the proceedings of last session, said he had made an effort to alter the political administration of Scot land, and had submitted a definite proposition on the subject. The effect of this was, of course, to diniinish the numbers who supported him in the division, be cause on the other side voted not only all who wished no change, but all who did not approve the particular change submitted by him. But the discussion was most satisfactory, for, with the exception of the Lord-Advocate 'himself and one other gentleman, no one maintained that a man could be in two places at the same time, or that a leading Edin burgh lawyer, in addition to his own immense practice and all the legal duties of his office, wild properly be the sole . political administrator for Scotland as well. The inconsistencies of those who opposed him in debate were remarkable. Lord Pal merston spoke against him because he said really the business was done in the Home-office; Mr. Disraeli, because the Home office had nothing what ever to do with it. He believed, however, that an alteration of some kind_ would be made before long, and he exhorted the constituencies to see that their members pursued an independent course in this .matter, and did not bolster up a system which could not in the end be maintained. Of the bill for the better government of the Universities in Scot land, it might be said that the Commissioners were the bill, almost unlimited power being given to them. Too many of them were noble lords and gentlemen who had not themselves been educated at Scotch colleges, and whose sons go to Oxford and Cambridge. There should have been more middle class men on it, whose sympathies and feelings were in accordance with those of the great bulk of the Scottish nation. He had succeeded in getting the name of his friend Mr. Murray Dunlop added to the list, whose talents and character would be of great advantage in the deliberations of the commis sion. After referring to some other measures ; relating to Scotland, Mr. Baxter continued :—I will now revert to the commencement of the session and the fall of Lord Palmerston's Government. My first vote, and I hurried up to London to give it, was against the motion for leave to introduce that ill judged and most obnoxious Conspiracy Bill. We were only 99. I was a little disappointed, but then the pressure from without had not begun to operate; and I felt petit -confidence that no such measure would ever pass the British House of Commons. They told me that our law was deficient and wanted mending, and that it was childish to say that we should not alter it lest it might be said that we did it under compulsion. My answer , was, if the law relating to conspi racy to murder is not in a satisfactory state, let the Attorney-General, when he introduces his legal budget in May, after due consideration and reflection, propose its revisal; but it is not for the Government and Parliament of Great - Britain, in a time of great commercial pressure, when domestic matters of importance are requiring attention, when our empire in India is trembling in the balance, to meet in hot haste and lay aside all other business because a neighbouring Sovereign had been attacked by assassins, and, preserving his presence of mind, had lost his temper. (Cheers and laughter.) It is not for us to do anything, however slight, to pro strate Belgium and Sardinia at the feet .of France. We should not get angry at Imperial menaces ; but neither should we stir a single step out of our course to please or pacify any prince or potentate in the world. Talk about the newly-discovered defects in our conspiracy laws ! I believe they might be allowed to exist till the end of time, with out producing one tithe of the evils that would have been caused by the success of that bill—evils that would have affected the honour and the influence of England, not only at home in Europe, but in every creek and harbour of the habitable globe. This happy country of ours is the asylum for the dis tressed of all ranks and all lands, kings and subjects alike ; and rather than have a suspicion breathed on the inviolability of that asylum I would incur the displeasure of the most powerful Emperor, and turn out the most powerful Ministry under the sun. (Renewed cheers.) And so felt my countrymen, nobly led on by an independent newspaper press. The Conservativ es , wh ose co nsistency in the matter I leave them to defend as they best can, came over nearly in a body to us, and in the short space of 10 days our minority of 200 was converted into a ma jority- of 19. The consequence was the resignation 'of the Ministry, and Lord Derby being sent for by the Queen. Now, see what you have done, said our friends, the Whigs ; you have prevented the passing of an India Bill this year (we have got one nevertheless) ; you have stopped a Reform Bill (which, by the way, it has since turned out never had an. existence) ; and, most horrible of all, you have given our places to the Tories. All true, bu( somehow or other I, for one, could get up no tears for the occasion. (Laughter.) I am not a Tory ; but then neither am I finality a Whig, or a mere hanger-on of any party ; and when I see a Liberal Prime Ministermaking a joke of such a question as the abolition of church-rates, and refusins to in troduce any bill on that subjects, giving high ap pointments to men without character, and prepared with no bills of a progressive nature ; when I found not only inefficiency, but incivility in some of the public departments ; and when I reflected on the rewards which had been betowed on men who had not even done their duty in the Crimean war, so far from hesitating about throwing out the Conspiracy Bill, I felt rather inclined than otherwise to throw out the Ministry too. (Loud Cheers.) The fact is that Palmerston had waxed fat and kicked, and his plunges not even a House of Commons of his own electing could stand. Well, the Whigs were actu ally out. For a, few days they could not believe it --thinking that no other set of men could govern the country, they were naturally stunned, and it was some time before they were aroused to the sad reality of their situation. Consider ing that very bad charioteers had got hold of the reins, they immediately began in t s o uffi a c g i i e t n a c t y e f o o f r t a h r e e storation to power, and we were entertained with ir reception of India supposed, could not hold s d u o e l doleful f e u os s l ffio a re c se c , w o m u ha n iol t y, s o Nt v f Nev t ea hi sg. en utter eTrahl el y Bill No. 2, that complicated piece of mechanism, of the authorship of which every one seems ashamed, and which no one very well understood, increased the hopes of the expelled party. They confidently expected that its inevitable rejection by a large majority would compel the resignation of the new cabinet. Then it was that Lord J. Russell came to the rescue • and I frankly own to you that from the be ginning I was an advocate for proceeding by re solutions, which could be fully discussed, one by one, preparatory to framing a measure for the transference of the Indian Government to the Crown. I sympathised with those who deprecated another change of Ministry at that time, and I believed, besides, that in the end that mode of pro ceeding with regard to India would be found more convenient. In this latter idea no doubt few con curred, but the event has proved that we were not far wrong. And here permit me to say that I voted against every motion made • to delay tne passing of • an India Bill on whatever ground supported, and from whatever section of politicians- it canto., (Cheers.) It would be ungenerous, and serve no good purpose at this time of day, to reflect on the pohey or management of the East India Company.

(Ch ee r s. ) The next danger that threatened the Governmentwas of a more formidable nature still, and this ti me Lords John Russell and Palmerston we re agree d . It arose from the transmission and publicati on o f a despatch from Lord Ellenborough to Lord Canning, finding fault in the most reprehensible terms with a proclamation which had been issued by the Go vernor-Generalto the talookdars of Oude. That danger was warded off by the course taken by the independent Liberal party, who had previously held their much talked-of meeting in Committee room No. 11, who disapproved. very strongly of Lord Ellenborough's conduct, but who were unwil ling to be parties. to any mere factious move, and who, when the President of the Board of Control resigned his office, thought that Mr. CardWelPs resolution of censure ought to have been with drawn. Indeed, there are some grounds to believe that in this opinion - they were not singular. It has been freely stated that the Whig leaders took the same view, but were overruled by their more anxious and impetuous subordinates. Well, they persevered, and you know how one fine. evening, finding that the Liberals could not be kept together on the question, the motion fell to the ground, and with it all those schemes of coalition and. embryo Ministries which had been so much discussed for a week before. I have referred to a meeting in Committee-room No. 11,.and as 1 was asked . to take a prominent part in the proceed ings there, perhaps you will allow me now to re peat in substance what I then said, especially as I believe it expressed the general sentiments of those present. We had met, I remarked, to protest against the constitution and the policy of recent Whig Governments, as composed. exclusively of aristocrats,, who were not acquainted with the opi nions of the great body of the people, and as aban doning when in office those great principles of pro gressive reform which they advocated so loudly in opposition. We for the future would support no so-called Liberal Ministry which was not formed on a broader basis, and. which was not prepared. to keep pace with the requirements of the country. But I further stated—and it was the cheers which greeted that statement that made the Whigs so angry, and led them to publish so many groundless stories as to the part I have taken in this movement —that, in my belief, the time had not yet arrived for forming such a Liberal Government, but the cause of true reform would be benefited by keep ing the members of the late Government on their seats of penitence for a considerably longer period, until in adversity they had time to learn wisdom and. make up their minds to be liberal in deeds as well as in words. (Cheers.) They flatter them selves, I hear, that this independent party is dead. Next session may show them their mistake. (Re newed cheers.) Theymay find that it possesses quite as much life, and a little better organization than before. Some of the contests of last session showed us our own power, and that we only required more union to beat Whigs and Tories combined. (Loud cheers.) In March we mustered 'll6 votes against that expensive sham, the Vice-royalty of Ire land. When Mr. Wise moved that the diplo matic salaries should be charged in the annual estimates instead of on the Consolidated Fund, so as to be brought more immediately under the control of Parliament, we counted 114 votes against 142, and in June we carried by 106 to 104 Captain Vivian's motion for abolishing the double government of the War-office and the Horse Guards. On such questions as these, where the really Liberal party agreed, we can and we intend to make ourselves heard, and perhaps the stationary Whigs, who love office so dearly, may find that the only way to enjoy it once more is to move on in our direction. (Cheers.) I was one of those who, in 'voting for Mr. Milner Gibson's motion, knew very well that I was voting not only for the rejection of the Conspiracy Bill, but for a change of Ministry, and I considered myself bound to give the new Government, for that reason if for no other, a fair trial. I wish to speak with all respect of Lord Palmerston. shall not soon forget that he was the man who in 1854 and 1855 preserved his faith in the power of this country, and by his firmness maintained its reputation m Europe. But no Minister can expect a nation to acquiesce in ob noxious measures from a feeling of mere gratitude, and I think that every Minister has a right to expect that he is not to be turned out except for a sufficient reason. If you ask me whether or not I have confidence in the present Government, I ask you whether you mean in the Tory or the Radical portion of it,—for no one can say that the political creed of Lord Stanley, Si r J. P a ki ng t on , an d M r . Disraeliis the same as that of Lord Salisbury, Mr. Henley, and Lord J. Manners. All I know is that already they have red resse d some gr i evances w hi c h their . predecessors wou ld . not attend to, that from them we have obtained the abolition of the pro perty qualification and the admission of Jews into Parliament, and I wait patiently to see what mea sures of a similar tendency the recess is to bring forth. Should th e y man f u ll y grapp l e w ith th e subject of church-rates in a liberal spirit, effect a reduction in the expenditure and propose a really progressive measure, l - or mea sures, on the question o f P ar liamentary Reform, I will support them ; if they take an opposite course, especially if they seek to weaken the influence of th e t owns in our representative system, as there is too much reason to dread, I will vote for terminating their lease of power. (Loud cheers.) I was sorry to observe that the Lord- Lieutenant of this county threw cold water the other day on a redistribution of seats in Parha ment. In the innocence of my heart I had sup posed that that would h av e fo r med a principal feature of the Reform Bill of the late Government. At all events, no bill which does not include it shall have my support. (Cheers.) Allow me to say a few words regarding finance. During the past session I took some interest in the estimates, spoke frequently on different votes, and divided the hduse against several of them. lam more and more convinced that large savings might be effected in all the services without any detriment to the interests of the country. If the estimates were submitted to a committee of impartial men acquainted with business, and having no personal ends to serve, six or eight millions, I believe, could be knocked off with advantage; and. I really hope that the Government will look this question of the expenditure boldly in the face. (Cheers.) I have great faith in the power and the destinies of this country, but -I confess I look with dread on the rapid increase of the estimates in all departments of the State. In nations, as in families, extrava gance is the first step towards ruin ; and I believe no Minister could more fairly earn a title to the gratitude of his country than by proposing and carrying a bold scheme of financial. economy. But permit me to say that that will be out of the ques tion if you allow yourselves to be deluded by a cry of. war with France. lam glad to observe some of the newspapers in this county writing vigorously against this bugbear, the principal abettors of which are those who would place addi tional burdens on the shoulders of the people. I feel strongly that there is far more danger from increased. taxation than from French in vasion. (Cheers.) If you attempt the former you will sour the masses of the people who pay too much already; against the latter you can show a united, industrious, loyal people, every man of whom would rather rally like his fathers around the constitution and the Throne. Those harbours of refuge to which I have referred, it was admitted in debate, are really meant as harbours of defence. l The Government and. its officers affect giyat for mercantile shipping, but their true object is to erect fortifications. Now, I believe in no suer thing. Our'maritime supremacy was establiis,held and con firmed without any works of the (111, ; the skill and courage and hardihood of our sailors, not be hind walls but on the open sea, have made this country what it is. Our fl e ets have always acted on the offensive hitherto , a nd I think ought to cherish and trust to our navy still. (Cheers.) With a powerful, well-equipped, and properly manned fleet in the Channel, why need. we fear an enemy? " Britannia needs no bulwarks, No towers along the steep." I will always vote for keeping up an efficient army and navy which has no equal, but I will no t vote fur rivalling continental Powers in that system of adding fort to fort and regiment to regime n t, nomi nally to guard against invasion, really to keep down the people,---a system which I believe to be an engine of despotism and sure to le a d t o nat i onal bankruptcy. My-opinion - is that no fdreign nation PRICE 4 D • STAMPED, SD. dreams of invading, us. I am quite sure that our best protection against any Power mad enough to _attempt it-is that same national feeling which elec trified Europe when the then haughty Spaniards despatched their Armada, and when Napoleon the First assembled his vast force at Boulogne: Gpr tlemen, I know not - that I riced "say more. These are the principles which I professed on first soliciting your suffrages ; on them I have endeavoured to act to the best of my humble juagment and ability, and I trust, with your kind support and: sympathy, not to swerve from their advocacy in the time to come. (Mr. Baxter then resumed his seat amid loud cheers.) • Several questions were put to Mr. Baxter, and answered by him, after which a vote of mill deuce in him as their representative was proposed and carried by acclamation. LORD WODEHOUSE ON PARTY POLI TICS AND FOREIGN AFAIRS. The North Walsham (Norfolk) Agricultural Society held its annual meeting on Tuesday at the town from which it takes its name. The members' dinner in the evening was presided over- by Lord Suffield, who was supported by. Lord Wodehouse (who has estates in the neighbourhood), the Hon. Mr. Harbord, and about 'TO other gentlemen. In the:course of the proceedings, Lord WODEIIOUSE, who was cordially welcomed, proposed " Success to the Association, and the health of its noble president, Lord Suffield." (Cheeri.) His Liirdship expressed the plea Sure which it afforded him to attend the society's meet ings, from which he had been unavoidably absent during the last two years. It was not to be sup posed that he could give the members any sound opinion upon the breeding of stock, the use of implements or the growth of roots • and he should confine himself to what might be called a landlord's point of view, with which those present had for the most part some considerable acquaintance. It was extremely important that landlords and tenants should duly understand and appreciate their mutual relations, and in what manner they could best work in unison and promote the interests of agriculture, which were the common interests of both. As far as he understood the principle upon which this relation should be based, he was con ' vinced that the landlord should do his part, and then the tenant would be better able to do his. If he might be allowed to speak plainly, he would say that it had often happened that the landlord not having first done his part had complained that the tenant had failed in doing his. It was not to be supposed lint every landlord could efficiently do all that he thought it was a landlord's place to do, for a landlord's action depended mainly upon whether he had the requisite capital to put his estate into the condition which would enable the tenant to farm it in the very best manner. To do this, however, was the principle which guided the late Mr. Coke, and it was this which was the means of bringing Holkham into such a condition that his tenants had been able to raise their farm ing to a point scarcelly equalled, perhaps, on any estate in the country. Opinions were always best understood by being ventilated, and one of the principles upon which he believed agriculture must be based was the principle of long leases. (Cheers.) He did not believe that this principle was by any means a panacea for bad farming, and it was only delusive to suppose that if you gave a man a good lease he therefore became a good farmer ; but it was nevertheless true that for first-rate farming long leases were a necessary condition. Taking it for granted that they were speaking of farming on a large scale, he thought—as he had practically proved, he believed, in the management of his own estate—that the first requisite was a long lease. The landlord was bound to carry out all those im provements which specially devolved upon him, and when he bad put his estate into a good condi tion, if his tenants were men of talent and indus try, he might look for a good return. (Cheers.) He had himself tried his hand at another matter—the making a good lease ; but there he found that he had embarked in a very thorny undertaking. Too stringent covenants ought not, he thought, to be imposed on good tenants. He did not think it right to say that they should have no covenants at all, but he held that it was not necessary that agri culture should he kept now in the leading-strings in which it had been kept, perhaps with some ad vantage, up to the present time. These were the main matters to which he thought a landlord should attend, and he held that both his own and the tenant's interest would be thereby consulted, for if a landlord gave a tenant a good lease, if he was not too stringent in his covenants, but showed some consideration for the tenant himself, he might rely on seeing in a few years a beneficial change in the condition of his estates. He liked such associa tions as the present, because they afforded land lords and tenants an opportunity of meeting to gether on an equal footing. After a few further observations, his Lordship proposed the toast, which was received with much applause. Lord SUFFIELD responded, and proposed what he considered the toast of the evening—" Lord Wodehouse and the Vice-Presidents of the Society." (Loud cheers.) With regard to Lord Wodehouse, his Lordship observed that throughout his life, including his college and political career, the noble lord had not only succeeded, but had also greatly distinguished himself in what he had undertaken. (Cheers.) Lord "WODEIIOUSE replied, nothing could occasion a man more embarrassment than the praise which he received for very simple deeds ; and no one could be more sensible than himself that he had done little to merit the very kind and cordial wel come with which he had met on his return to this country. It was no idle compliment which the society had just paid him, for there was nothing which cheered a man in the performance of his public duties so much as the approbation of his friends and neighbours. He had done but little, but he assured them that if they believed he had done his duty that was the object to which he had aspired, and if in the future he continued to receive the approbation of his friends he should consider that he was amply compensated for any labours public or private. This was the principle which he had no doubt ruled every one present, and it was the principle which had made England great, and which, by God's blessing, he hoped would keep her. great. Perhaps he might be allowed to add a few words on one or two other subjects. On occasions such as the present politics, in the strictest sense of the term, were very properly forbidden, because one of the objects of such meetings was cordiality and friendship ; but at the same time there were politics which were not party politics, and to which allusion might be made. He thought it must be a source of satisfaction to every reflecting man to witness the great prosperity which this country now enjoyed. He believed that, no matter what the chances, the changes and the combinations of party might be, the foundations of that prosperity were so laid that we should be in the main well governed, whether the Prime Minister were Lord Palmerston or whether he were Lord Derby. There happened to be at the present moment what many people considered far too great a una nimity in political matters, but, for his part, he did not think that any evil was likely to ac crue from the present state of things, nor did he regard it as so bad a sign of the times as many persons were esposed to consider it, It seemed to him that we were passing from an old phase and entering on a new one on which all Par ties were determined to adopt those measures which, in their opinion, were the very best for th e country. Such being the case, we could not be very far from a sound condition. His object would be to endeavour to seek all those matters whi ch remained defective, and get them rem edied, be it by one party or by would another. He had no doubt the time soon arrive when great principles would again divid e Englishmen interest in they would take a deep in political matters—and when they would no t flinch from maintaining their views ; but in the meantime, let us work, one and all, to carry out every i m provement which could c on d uce to the general prosperity of the country. He admitted that he had few opportunities of knowing about the internal affairs of the country, his experience having relation to foreign affairs. It seemed to be a very common remark that Englishmen were in attentive for the most part to foreign politics ; but this supposition, he thought, had received a con clusive answer during the past two years. In that period what had been the questions which had marred and made Administrations ? They were both questions o f f ore i gn p o litics, and he fr,,;it certain that nothing was more important than that a man who took any interest in politica should keep his eyes clea:rly . fixed on our foreign "arrange ments. Many were induced to imaging that there were great secrets in diplomacy awil in foreign affairs, but in his short experience %re admitted that he had found very few mysteries.., and it seemed to him that an honest, straightforward course was the whole mystery of diplear ilacy and of foreign politics as of all others. It Nras necessary, however, that we should Ice•qi our C;Y:, es.elearly fixed on- such matters, for cert,,inly rc -w as nothing by which MR. BAXTER, M.P., AT ARBROATH. Mr. Baxter, M.P. for the Montrose burghs, com menced his annual tour among his constituents 'on Tuesday, and on that evening addressed the electors of Arbroath in the Corn Exchange. Bailie John ston, in the absence of the Provost of the burgh, presided, and introduced Mr. Baxter to the meeting. Mr. BAXTER then came forward, and commenced by observing that at the close of a session of an un usually interesting and exciting nature, which had witnessed the fall of a powerful Government and the transference of its majority, without a dissolu tion, to its political opponents ; the abolition of the East India Company ; and the apparent conversion en masse of the Tories to the principles of progres sive reform, he could scarcely be at a loss for topics upon which to address them. Not since he had been elected as their representative had he witnessed events so remarkable and so suggestive as those of which London was the theatre in the early part of 1858. They indicated a new era in the history of this country, which has hitherto been governed by one or other of two great parties, with a compact organisation and a well-understood system of disci pline. The theory of the constitution was that each county should send to Parliament one of its own resident gentlemen as a knight of the shire, and each burgh a burgess acquainted with its interests; but in recent times the towns especially had chosen men not resident or identified with their interests, but adherents of that party with whom they_agreed in politics, and often sent down from the capital by the clubs. These gentlemen were usually quite do cile and obedient to their respective whippers-in. In all divisions affecting the existence of Adminis trations they could be relied upon with perfect con fidence, as they never dreamt of putsuing an inde pendent course. Many persons believed that the Reform Bill would cause an immediate change in this respect, and that after its passing a very diffe rent class of men would be sent to St. Stephen's. But it has always been the habit of the people of Great Britain to carry out political reforms gradu ally and with care. They have no desire for rash in novation either in social economy, Church or State, preferring to proceed onwards by steps slow and Sure rather than to grasp problematical advantages with undue haste. Consequently, for years subsequent to the alteration in our representative system, club men and aristocratic hangers-on were chosen M.P.'s as before; but every election is now diminishing their number, and in their stead we find wealthy merchants, railway contractors, shipowners, manu facturers, and bankers,who, having no personal stake in the game of politics, are much more unmanage able, and are'apparently determined to throw things into confusion by voting according to their con- : science. (A laugh.) The Reform Bill, in fact, is only now coming into full play, and putting the balance of power into the hands of men who care very little for mere party names, and still less about scrambles for office. The increase of middle-class men in the House of Commons recently is quite sufficient to account for the perplexity of whippers in and the insulation of their leaders. Most of these persons reside in the localities which they repre sent, possess independent fortunes, and attempt to perform their duties faithfully as representatives, without the slightest reference to who are the " outs" and who the " ins." It is, however, difficult for politicians who have been long accustomed to manage in a particular way to realise, or at all events to reconcile themselves to an alteration so silently effected, but yet so influential as this. They cling with naturUl pertinacity to the old-established appliances of circulars, meetings, promises, and com placent looks, and turn up their eyes in amazement when the usual results do not follow. Never were their calculations, so mistaken as at the fall of Lord Palmerston's Government, and during the futile efforts made to restore it in the early part of this year. Before reviewing the events of the past ses sion, or saying anything concerning general poli tics, Mr. Baxter said he would briefly advert to one or two matters more particularly affecting that. locality. He referred to the hardship of the billet ing system in Scotland, and said it had been his intention, had the late Administration continued in office, to move, ongoing into Committee of Supply on the army estimates, an amendment, which would have been equivalent to a vote of censure upon them for neglecting to redress an evil which had been so prominently, on various occa sion, brought under their notice ; but, seeing a dis position on the part of the present Secretary at War to do them justice, he thought it better to urge an inquiry, and they knew the readiness with which it was granted. It might be fairly ques tioned whether the practice of billeting should be permitted to exist at all ; indeed, he took the liberty, in the House of Commons, of shocking the military men by styling it a remnant of barbarism. The report of the committee which sat on this sub ject was, he believed, as satisfactory as could be desired. The Government, he had no doubt, would act upon the recommendation of that committee ; if not, he promised them the question should be re opened. Mr. Baxter next referred to the annuity tax, and said he did not entertain a doubt of its eventual abolition. He next adverted to the ques tion of harbours of refuge, and advocated the pro - • priety of improving existing ports rather than of erecting new works at an enormous cost. He had given evidence before the commission in Dundee in favour of this view, and, in regard to the extrava gant expenditure on the great harbours now in progress, had been contradicted by Capt. Washing ton, one of the commissioners. His (Mr. Baxter's) view of improving existing harbours by means of small and judiciously administered grants was dis liked by a certain class of authorities—naval men and engineers—who are fond of planning, and had no objection to carry out enormous works at the country's expense. In giving evidence, he had re ferred to the great expenditure at Dover ; had men tioned £1,300,000 as spent at Alderney, and that dues were charged at harbours of refuge. Captain Washington, on the contrary, stated that not above £350,000 had been spent at Dover, only £650,000 at Alderney, and that no harbour dues were charged at harbours of refuge. Now the fact was that the estimate for Alderney was £1,300,000, se set} cost, especially the t generaleebrs ep ) lcei country uvir a anee d llatl arytyti stated; ihonnant ethbat nearer eta a rwt n e aem d tse , weon monstrous s a fte vE iot eiajoirt.on millions u M oa t ei h r slok . s b than one. (Hear, hear.) Capt. Washing agastsmwotnaeoenrdinui;dlsltaeidnctwrgto(emark, however, was likely to induce the belief that the cost at Alderney would only be £600,000, and this would be incorrect. Capt. Clax ton, in his evidence before the select committee last year, said the money at Alderney had been totally thrown away, that nobody went there, and nobody knew anything about it except the Lords of the Ad miralty ; there wa s not room for seven ships bumpingwith out in against each other. Sir Charles Napier the House that it was of no use, either had s u a sht harbour of refuge or for defence. And the Times had declared that the country had got into the same predicament with Alderney and Dover that bankers experience with a customer who has borrowed so much money of them that they don't know how to refuse him more. Of these great public works, already costing hundreds of thousands of pounds, nobody can tell either when the outlay will end or how the return is to appear. The original estimate for Dover was £650,000, but Col. Sykes had calculated the cost would be nearer £9,4100,000, and that the work would not be finished in the pre sent or even the next generation. Mr. Baxternext quoted the evidence of Mr. Walker, civil engineer, as to Dover harbour, to the effect that when the works were begun it had not been known that it would take half a century to complete them, and that no correct idea was formed as to the mode in which the work could be done. He also referred to Sir C. Napier's statement, that Dover was utterly useless for trading vessels going from east to west, -~ 1 %` 2.~-~ G ,irk`-~ c -, vf NEW S PAPER. ' 1 1 ' • this country might be 'more ease • - K m° 4/ I difficulties, without our scarcely o • we were about, than by a mala :e I of foreign affairs. We had heard ma c. t S deal lately about' Cherbourg and the French. alliance, and he thought that in ,some re spects a great deal more had teen said tiiin wag necessary übiiut the datizer - hich appeared to threaten us. He had no hesitation in remarking that a good deal too much had been said in favour of the French alliance. No doubt an alliance with. -France was necessary to this country, and no doubt such a union had been especially beneficial - hi the case of the war with - Russia' bbt if suchwalliinee _was to prevent the expression of, purfrpe opinion on the administration of affairs in France herself, or on what took place in that:country, it was no longer a healthy alliance, and the moment it came to be tried it would be found to be a (broken reed, on which it was unsafe to lean. A frank and open line of conduct was certainly the best, and, if we did. not approve what was done in France, it was much better that we should not flinch front saying so at any reasonable and proper time. One word as to the country (Russia), where he had passed a couple of years. It was undoubtedly a great and growing country, the hostility of which might be dangerous, and the friendship of which might be valuable_ On his arrival in Russia he found a deep-seated hosti lity prevailing towards England on account of the part we had taken against her. This hostility was very generally expressed though it was always stated i n his presence in a civil and courteous man ner. He thought, however, that this feeling had been exceedingly diminished. (Hear.) It had not arisen from the fact that Russia was conquered in the late struggle—for she had been no more con quered than we were, although undoubtedly she got the worst of it, as she herself admitted—but "was only a natural• feeling of resentment, which, as he had stated, had already greatly diminished. The attention of the Ruisians was now fixed on internal affairs, and so great were the improvements going on, so radical were the reforms in which the Russian Government had embarked ; that we might fairly calculate on their being desirous that the peace of Europe should . b' kept at least for many years to come. Many Russians had said to him, that it must be the desire of everyman of sense that peace should continue; at least for the present ; and when it was remembered that the Russians had embarked in such works as the emancipation of the serfs, the construction of 5,000 or 6,000 miles of railway, the reform of their courts of justice, the making the press free—towards which a considerable step had already been taken—and the carrying out of many other great and important changes, it must be ob vious that every sensible Russian could but wish that his country should enjoy a considerable term of peace. At the same time Russia was a great and important country, and whichever side she might take she would be able to throw considerable weight into the scale whenever circumstances required ac tion. As to the rest of the world, he thought it might be expected that peace would continue, and after the turmoil and disturbances which had pre vailed throughout Europe for the last three or four years every man must feel great satisfaction in ob serving how things were settling down. He had nothing further to say, but he hoped that, whether it was his lot to remain in a private capacity, or to take a part in public affairs, a fair and candid in terpretation would be given to all his proceedings whatever his course might be, and that his friends would again afford him as kind a welcome as they had been so good as to give him on the present occasion. (Cheers.) Several other toasts were given during the even ing, and Lord WODEHOUSE, in the course of a few other remarks, called attention to the pace of Russian trotting horses, which got over 18 or 20 miles in an hour. His lordship stated that the Russians paid greater attention to pace than action, which was so much regarded in this country. The noble lord's presence and speeches considers ably enhanced the interest of the meeting, which passed off very agreeably. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a court, which was very numeroual7 attended, was held for the despatch of public business. FLEET VALLEY RAILWAY TERMINUS. The DEPUTY TOWN-CLERK r ea d a mem o r i a l on this subject from Mr. Charles Pearson, stating that _he had received the co-operation of the Great Western Company on this subject, and had met with encouragement from the directors, officers, and contractors of the Metropolitan Company. He was enabled to state that 45,000 (shares including the 175,000 of the Great Western), representing together £450,000, one half of the entire capital required, are now held by persons able and, willing to meet the calls, and several of them are prepared, at a short notice, and for a low rate of interest, to pay up the entire amount of shares for the immediate commencement of the works, provided the Grot Northern will execute the powers of the Act of Parliament passed with the concurrence of their shareholders at a Wharncliffe meeting in 1856, for subscribing 17,500 shares, or £175,000, towards the capital of the Metropolitan Railway Company. If this sum were now as readily and heartily contri buted by the Great Northern as the same sum has been subscribed by the Great Western Company, all impediments to the completion of the work would be at an end. He had had repeated confer. ences with the chairman, directors, [and officers of the Great Northern Company, and had hoped that they would have consented to execute the powers of the act of 1856, on receiving evidence that in that event the undertaking would be completed without delay. He even went so far as to suggest that they might make their sub scription conditional upon his obtaining the re mainder of the capital within a time to be limited by themselves. He had likewise suggested that the Great Northern might, for their own par ticular protection, nominate directors for the board in pro portion to their shares. A resolution was pre sented to him on the 9th inst., by which it was pro posed to effect the connection of the Metropolitan Railway with the Great Northern by arrangements which it was assumed by the board would afford an efficient and equitable substitute for the exist ing provisions, which have received the sanction of Parliament. He did not consider it within the scope of his authority to deal with this proposition. The board of the Great Northern, however, had this day resolved that the company will not execute the powers conferred upon it by the act of 1856. He had, therefore, to communicate thelfailure of his negotiations with the Great Northern, that it might be considered what further steps should be taken in the matter. Deputy HARRISON—I move that this memorial be referred to the Improvement Committee of this court, for further information. The court will re collect that the recommendation it contains arose from a report brought up from that committee, and the court unanimously agreed to it. A matter un der their management, and very interesting to them, is the value of that land in Fleet Valley. We have had some applications with reference to it. I do not know that I ought publicly to state those applications, but it is very de sirable, in order to do justice to all parties, tha that committee should be in possession of every matter of information with reference to that important subject. I will, therefore, move that this communication of Mr. Pearson and the two resolutions be referred to the Improvement Com mittee, who have the conduct of the negotiation between Mr. Jay and this corporation with refe rence to that important question, namely, the' land through and adjoining Fleet Valley. Deputy OBBARD seconded the motion. Mr. LAWLEY said that the ground in question was a nuisance, on account of it s being n-occupied, and that anything ti that tended to convert it into a source of profit would be beneficial to the public. Mr. YOUNG thought the court ought not to enter taiinthemmei m on w orial. The ot as put and.carriAA unanimously. The court adjourned. • THE GREAT BELL AT WESTMINSTER.—The pro tracted and arduous labours of Mr. Quarm and his attend ants in raising the great bell of Westminster clock tower may now be considered to have virtually and safely termi nated. In the course of yesterday the bell was raised to ita final altitude, and nothing now remains to be done but to remove the hoisting apparatus with itit massive timbers and platforms, and to bolt it (the bell) up to the iron girdles, which are all in their proper places and ready for the one rous duty of sustaining it. As in the case of the Great Leviathan, the sponsors of the great bell have seen fit to change its name, whicl henceforth is to be " St. Stephen," in place of the 113.01:a familiar but less dignified a ppellation of "Big Ben." • The ceremony of baptism was performedthn , with all due formality, although, as we are inclined to think, after a ritual which was specially invented for th e A workw.an gave the monster 21 successive strok, humor •w hile his master called out in eh( ra g a ‘ ca St N l 'i S th te! • .., W pheD r ' after each successive stroke, and Too much credit 130 VA was declared to be from henceforth..s_ ...Id St. Stephen the 1 i',lmnot be given to Mr. Quarm for his kilt orkmon for the care, superintend ence of the operation, nor to . the s Ointment and Pills.— Ea n t a i i en a e n e d , saantdisfpacetrosreyveirsasn4eoulv‘hviacyh; at N last brought it to a whichU t c a r i i l it - L l lurks organs, in [A.DVERTIstmENT]. li that disfigure the surface sustains and aggravates them.
