Lord JOHN' RUSSELL and Mr. HORSMAN' are fiercely_assailed by the Times and its imitators— by all the thick and thin adherents of the PAL MERSTON Cabinet, for the straightforward and honourable course adopted in reference to the Government of India Bills. On Tuesday we stated that " the Palmerstmian journals were savage at the judicious proceeding." The Noble Lord has rendered himself particularly obnoxious to those soi disant Liberals because he refused to join in a factious,, opposition, or in rendering the future welfare and happiness of 150,000,000 of British subjects the price to be paid for restoring Lords PALMERSTON and PANsIURE, CLARENDON and CLANRICARDE, Sir C. WooD, Sir G. C. LEWIS, and Mr. VERNON SMITir, to place and power. He baa, forsootb, for ever forfeited the confidence of the Liberal party for that which, regarded in &proper light, should go far to restore the confidence which had from former transactions been in some degree weakened. Had he acted differently—had be been ready tosaerifiee both England and India to his personal ambition and grasping cupidity—then, indeed, he would have fully merited the censure which the Times has vainly endeavoured to cast upon him. If we are to credit the oracle of Printing-house square, his object is to keep Lord DEADY in power until he has regained the leadership of the Liberal party, and is in a position to replace him, with a Cabinet of his own selection, of which he shall be the head. There can be no patriotic or public feeling, no desire to exhibit fair pity towards those from whom it was invariably received when they constituted her MAJESTY'S Opposition. The Times, or rather those from whom it receives its inspiration, are manifestly incapable of such feel ings. They cannot understand the motives of the Statesman who will not— "To party give up what was meant for mankind." Because, therefore, Lord JOHN RUSSELL has refused "to march through Coventry" with CLARENDON and CAANRICARD; for the purpose of working Lord PALMERSTON into power, per fns out nefas, he is to be ostracised and considered the Marplet" of the Liberal party, although not quite in the sense in which the term has been generally used. He has indeed marred a plot, and that of a very despicable and unwarrantable character—a plot calculated to degrade the nation, by showing that it will not give fair play to those desirous of discharging their duties in the national will— a strict accordance with plot to render Lord PALMERST,aI a virtual dictator, authorised to snub every independent member, who ventures to exhibit an i nconvenient interrogatory, by showing that no Ministry, o f which ha is the chief, can stand, however unex ceptionable its measures, or satisfactory its pro ceedings. If that is to be a " Marplot" it will henceforward be a designation of honour, in place of reproach. We believe that nothing more injurious to the truly liberal cause could be attempted than that THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL l5, 1858. which the Time's() earnestly, and we may say bitterly pire, and that a great step has been thereby gained towards obtaining it for ourselves at home. We are such a very practical nation that nothing tells more with us than a fact in point. There are advocates. It would disgust the great body of the people, and what is of still greater importance, a large majority of the independent constituencies. lb would reader the answer to the appeal to the country, that would most assuredly take place under such circumstances, perfectly decisive, and ensure a privileged tenure of office to Lord DERRY and his coadjutors. Lord Jomx Russzrz has shown that he cannot be betrayed into such a shallow and injudicious line of policy. His indig nant refusal to be dragg ed through the mire has foiled the inequitable and, we may add, the uncon stitional attempt. It has exposed the ambuscade. Hence the mourning and Rime illce lochrymce. objurgations of the Times and Post, and of the smaller fry that follow in their wake, who have all their dictatorial truculence, without any of their weight or ability. It will be time enough to assail Lord DERBY, when he has been guilty of any act of commission or omission injurious to the national honour or the national interests. Hitherto there has been no shortcoming—nothing of which the most querulous could justly complain. In foreign affairs, we find that the WALEWSSI despatch was answered in a temperate, but, at the same time, a dignified manner, and that " the unpleasant differences" have been completely got rid of, and, with them, the Conspiracy to Murder Bill has been consigned to the tomb of all the CAPITLETS. WATT and PARKS have been set at liberty, and although they have suffered cruelly, both physically and intellectually, they have been restored to their friends and country, and we may reasonably anticipate that full com pensation will be insisted on by the Government, which accomplished in a few days what it took their predecessors a greater number of months not to cl 4. Certainly there has been no cause for complaint in the substitution of a truly British Minister, firm, although not vapouring, for " the despot-loving CLARENDON." In the administration of the most important branch of the national establishments, Sir Joso - PAZINOTON has won golden opinions even from the most virulent assailants of the Government. He has proved himself to be a well-intentioned, painstaking, and intelligent Administrator. It is scarcely a compliment to say that, when com pared with Sir CHARLES WOOD, the advantage is all on his side ; politically speaking, it is " Hy perion to a Saty r." He has unsparingly exposed the folly of getting rid of tried and disciplined men, engaged for continuous service, under cir cumstances that rendered the Admiralty liable to a charge of breach of faith. The admirable machine is broken, the ves sel dismantled, the crew dispersed to seek service abroad, in order that a new and inex perienced body, not accustomed to work together, may be collected at great expense and after considerable delay. We trust and believe that Sir J. PAKINGTON will set his face against this most absurd piece of red-tapism. The budget will be opened, the financial scheme developed, publicly on Monday, or at all events early in the week. We shall then have an opportunity ' of comparing Mr. DISRAELI with Sir G. C. Lzwis, and we fancy that the result will be even more strik ing than in any of the other departments. Why, then, should the Liberals repine ? Why should they strive to displace the men who are faithfully carrying out their wishes, in order to restore those who, under the disguise, or rather the name of liberality, are really obstructives t Lord JOHN Russzta. has merited the thanks and gratitude of the country for defeating the ill-omened scheme, the artful dodge attempted to be prac tised on the community. plenty of instances of secret voting at home— quite sufficient to refute the absurd argument that it is un-English ; but thanks to the fears of our aristocrats, of our Whigs especially, not a single trial has been allowed of an election for a Member of Parliament by ballot. They would disfranchise a corrupt borough ; they would unseat a member ; they would pass a little Bribery and Corruption Bill ; but, they would never concede one trial of the Ballo t! Why not 7 Why so doggedly op ! posed to the least fraction of what so many of the first electioneering doctors declare to be such an infallible receipt for bribery, and for intimi i dation especially ? We know of no answer but that one trial would be au irresistible argument ; that its sure success would settle the question. But though Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the Tories would not let Englishmen furnish an example here, thanks to Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, they could not hinder them from furnishing us with one in Australia. This has been done, and Mr. NiczoLsozr is here to give us the evidence of an eye-witness to what the Ballot has effected iu electing represen- tatives for the Legislature, and by Englishmen ; —by the very men, in great part, who had been voters amidst all our bribery and intimidation here. It is impossible that the fact should not tell on the public mind ; it will tell more and more every year; it will clench all our arguments; it will be the standing proof that advocates of the Ballot are not mere theorists, and through out increasing correspondence with our colony, it will react powerfully upon the mother country. If the two ex-Whig Premiers intend this season again to aid, abet, and encourage the Tories in opposing the Ballot, we yet hope that, for decency's sake, they will not dare to oppose the motion for a committee to inquire into the working of the Ballot in Austra lia and our other colonies. We know they will dread such a committee ; they will tremble to put on authoritative record the facts which many wit nesses can attest ; but will they have the shameless ness to say to such a large body of Liberals, you shall not even inquire ? Will they unblushingly shut out the light I We well know how they fear it, but what pretext can they have the face to allege against inquiry. The evidence will pass for only what it is worth ; the opponents of the Ballot on the committee will have full opportunity to elicit, by cross-examination, all that they think favour able to their views ; we do not care for a report by the committee ; let it be composed of half ad vocates of free voting, and let the other half be inconvincibles of the most hopeless stamp, and let the evidence be fairly brought out without any opinion upon it being offered by the committee ; we ask no more, and, if this be refused, we do hope that every professed Liberal b who refuses it will be sent into privacy at the next election. Better let a Tory come in than such a parody of a Liberal. Sir Joint PAHINGTON, under the DERBY Admi nistration of 1852, had the honour of giving to Y:ctoria the Constitution which has completed itself by establishing the Ballot. Mr. NICHOLSON called attention to this fact last night at the meet ing held in the Freemasons' Tavern to present that gestleman with a valedictory address on his re turning to Australia, and he adverted with pleasure to the whole course taken with the colonies by Sir Jortzsr, during his Administration. We have, certainly, a 0, lonia' Secretary now, not at all less liberal than Sir JOHN PAZINGTON, and we can hardly believe that Lord STANLEY locks with any displacency on the result of Sir JOHN'S colonial management. A. letter, indeed, was read, amongst others, from the Noble Lord himself, expressing his "regret hat he was unable to be present, and to pay his respects to Mr. NrctronsoN." Whether or not, therefore, Lord STANLEY be prepared to make every elector's vote his own in England, we may presume that be thinks none the worse of Mr. NICHOLSON for being the author of the bill for independent voting in Australia. We hope, however, that ,fficial intercourse with the colonies w ill onl y strengthen the liberal tendencies of our Colonial Secretary. Canada will show him what a blessing it is for a Government to be clear of Church and State questions, the reports from that colony being that, at elections, ecclesiastical questions are never heard of, and have nothing to do now with the voting. While from Australia he will learn that an order and propriety, unknown before, pervade all the elections there, as well as in New South Wales and Tasmania. Such a "Sociologist" as Lord STANLEY, must, therefore, be not a little prepossessed in favour of a plan which at least conduces so much to public morality. There is probably not one of our States - men more interested than our Colonial Secretary in the people's advance in knowledge and good morals ; and, happily, of the working, in these respects of the Ballot in Australia, the evidence is superabundant. Lord STANLEY wilt be able, we may be sure, to give Lord Ness a little useful light before he makes another speech at Cocker mouth. It will hardly be denied that the meeting last night is a fact of some importance. We do not want to magnify its consequence ; let it pass only for what it is worth. But what is the fact ? Why just this. After the Ballot has been publicly ad vocated here for many years, ever since Mr. GROTE'S time, to go no further bask, by a succes sion of the ablest men in the country —men whose theories on law and commerce have for the most part become irreversible facts----after they bad demonstrated by every argument drawn from reason and kindred facts, that the Ballot Was the d e p p r e e n p d a r e a n t t i o v n o : i a ng after this long a n d full c onditionof effi fr ne cessary efficient • 4 . verification of all th eir ar g uments is brou g ht us from one of our colonic)...

On that [date] the sixth (the last) post of the enemy in the Moosabagh was captured. The enemy had retreated northwards. The cavalry is in pursuit. 117 guns have been taken.

The ladies had been protected by Meer Valeed Alby Derejal, and had been well treated by him. The restoration of authority in the city has been commenced, and great efforts are in progress for reassuring the population, which had fled in great numbers to the neighbouring villages. SARDINIA. The Journal de Belgrade gives the following as the text of the order from the Prince of Servia for the release of the Servian senators, who had been condemned to perpetual imprisonment for a con spiracy against the life of the Prince : " Every one knows with what generosity the Prince of Servia commuted into imprisonment for life the capital punishment to which the senators who were the authors of the conspiracy against him had been condemned. The clemency of his Highness towards the criminals did not stop there. During the winter, and particularly on the occa sion of the great fetes, he deigned to ameliorate their situation very considerably. Now that the holy fetes of Easter are approaching, be does still more. Actuated only by the feelings of his heart, and animated with the desire to extend more widely his right of pardon, he has, out of con sideration to the unfortunate families of the pri soners, Etienne Stefanovic, Paul Stanisic, Paul Jankovic, Cvetoko Rajovic, and Milos Mercajlovic, remitted their punishment of imprisonment, on condition that they shall quit the territory of Ser via, and tot return to it without his authorisation." A letter from Semlin, in the Augsburg Gazette, says :—" The documents relating to the last plot against the life of Prince Alexander have been handed to the Turkish commissiouer, Ethem Pacha, who immediately forwarded them to Constanti nople. The commissioner has not been contented with the partial pardon granted to the condemned senators, but has instituted a rigorous inquiry into the grievances alleged against the prince. and his government. Since the Servian nation achieved its independence, no Turkish envoy has been re ceived with the enthusiasm and pomp displayed on the present occasion by the population of Belgrade. This reception is, in fact, a demonstration of the inhabitants against Austria and Ruswa, as well as against Prince Alexander. The authority of the latter is much shaken." war still rages, although victory cannot be hoped TBE BALLOT—ENTERTAINMENT TO for by the demagogues.

The advocates of the ballot stood on the immutable principle, that no legisla ture had a right to confer the franchise on any set of men without protecting them in its exercise. (Cheers.) They held, with the late Duke of New castle, that every man had a right to do what he liked with his own—with this difference, that the late duke attributed too much value to nteum, alas too little to time, or rather put the one for the other. (Rear, hear.) So long as a man had a right to vote for representatives he had a right to be protected in doing so. We in this country had to contend with a difficulty whieh was not known to Mr. Nicholson—to address a House of Commons which was returned by a House cf Lords—(hear, hear) —and consisting largely of the scions of noble houses, and held their sea's in the Lower House by ieecsnt as much as their fathers did iu the Upper. (Cheers.) These men considered it a rebellion against their authority if the electors did not vote for their nominees. It was true Mr. Nicholson had to meet a very severe opposition ; all the arguments used on this side the water were found "mocking and gibbering" at Mr, Nicholson there ; all the trash about un-manly and uu Eng lish was there revived ; but he could now say, "Veni, vidi, vici." (Cheers.) He had read a lesson to Englishmen, which they must be dull indeed if they did not profit by. It wee certain that at no distant time we should reap the benefit of the work so ably commenced by Mr. Nicholson. In present ing to him a feeble testimonial of their regard and respect, this meeting honoured themselves as much as him. (Hear, bear.) Sir A. ELTON, M.P., expressed the high satisfac tion he felt in moving the address about to be presented to Mr. Nicholson, and in advocating the cause of the ballot before so influential an assembly. The future of our Australian colonies was destiued to be great and glorious, and their laws ought to be such as would inspire the people with noble and independent sentiments. The ballot was eminently recommended by the principle of fair play, so dear to every Englishman ; for it put those who were without influence on a level with those who pos sessed it. It was ofeen found that those who sneered most at the ballot were themselves addicted to the degrading practices of corruption and intimidation. (Applause.) Some said the ballot was not needed in this country ; but ask the tenant, the traelesman, and the artisan whether they did not require that protection. (Hear.) They wet e entitled to vote without let or hindrance, as much as the proudest nobleman in the laud. If they wished the franchise to be a sham only, the sooner they went back to rotten boroughs the better ; if they wished it to be a reality, it could only be rendered so by the ballet. (Cheers.) He rejoiced at meeting with Mr. Nichol son, and trusted that he would long live to aid in the promotion of the popular rights of his country men. (Cheers.) The non. barorot moved the adop tion of the following address ; and that it should be presented to Mr. Nicholson by the chairman : "To William Nicholson, Beet., of Melbourne, in the Colony of Victoria. " In the name and on behalf of the Society for Pro , meting the Adoption ot the Vi,te by Ball t, we are commissioned to express to you their gratitude for your services to the cause of representative government and tree institutions. Deeply attached to representative institutions, and desiring their improvement wherever adopted and their progress throughout the world, we lament in our country they are marred' the operation of debasing and tyrannical influences, the tendency of which is to destroy all sense of pubic duty in the elector —to falsify and suppress the genuine expression of public opinion—to exclude virtuous sod able into from Parlia ment, and to perpetuate bad governmeet and maladmi nistration. We therefore rejoice that your far-seeing care for the colony which owns you ameng-a her states men, provided that simultaneously with the establishment of representative institutions, there should be thrown around them the invaluable safeguard and protection of the bal.ot. The and iubted success of the measure, of which it is your just pride to be the author, by exhibiting the well working of an electoral franchise, widely extended, and at the same time purified and protected, will promote the improvement of our institutions at home, and the pro gress, concurrently with civili-ation, of popular rights throughout the world. We gratefully acknowledge that tie adoption of the ballot by our fellow-countrymen in Aus tralia Las greatly strengthened our hands, who are , labouring to procure for the people of this country a free r and protected suffrage, by enabling us to point to secret voting as already a British institution. We should in. adequately express the obligations to you of the friends of free and protected voting in tne mother country, if we omitted to convey to you their thanks for sacrificing that leisure, the enjoyment of which was the proposed object of your visit to your native country, by pub licly narrating, on several distinguished occasions, in a mariner long to be remembered by those who heard it, the history and success of the ballot in your colony. In the name of the society, and of an immenfe number of our countrymen who ai.xiously look forward to the establishment of protection to the people's franchise, we thank you for your services to our cause, and wish all happiness and prosperity to you, to your family, and to the great Anglo-Saxon community of which you are a member and an ornament." Mr. GRESIt, M.P., seconded the adoption of the address. He expressed, on behalf of himself and the si-ter country, the warmest sympathy on be half of the ballot, and begged to thank Mr. Nichol son for his distinguished services. (Hear, hear.) He was a living argument in contradiction to the sophistries that bad been urged against the ballot. (hear.) He had devoted his leisure to travelling in - this country, and removing many prejudices which still prevailed against the ballot. (Hear.) Within the last century a vast alteration had taken place in our treatment of our colonies. We had learned a lesson from the revolt of the United states ; we now allowed thrm to think for themselves, and hence we had this young colony of Victoria spring ing, as it were, full-armed from the brain of Mi nerva, and with all Minerva's wisdom. (Cheers.) Teat colony had adopted the ballot as the charter of its liberties ; and we could not do better than copy the example. (Hear, hear.) Mr.. G. JONES, of Bristol, a working man, ten dered the thanks of his class to Mr. Nicholson for his hearty exertions iu the cause of the ballot, and refuted several of the backnied arguments that have been urged against it, . The CHAIRMAY then presented the address. Mr: NIcHOLSON on rising was most enthusiasti cally received. After thanking the meeting for the honour done him, be said he had been guided in his efforts in Australia by a desire to benefit the colony ; but should the example prove of service tothis country he should rej oft e the more. (Hear, hear.) Since be returned to Eri k . land he had been asked certain questions, and had confined himself to answering them, as to the work ing of the ballot in the colony. On various occa sions he had gone into full details, and in no par ticular had he ever been contradicted. (Hear.) The legislature of Victoria bad adopted his motion for the ballot by a majority of 8, although that body consisted of one-third government nominees. In illustration of the working of the ballot Mr. Nichol son exhibited a large painting, showing how the first election by ballot fur the city of Melbourne had been conducted. It was so arranged that after the voter was identified, and had received his vot ing card, he had no means of s'eowing it before he delivered it into the ballot-Lox. The plan had worked well ; for though some elections had been closely contested, in no case had the decision of the rettuniug efii.sor been di-puted. Tale mode of vot- FUTTYGHIIR.

The Second Brigade of the Central India Field Force hid siege to the Hill Fort of Chundmree on March 8. On March 17th the fort was stormed and taken. Our loss not great; one officer (Lieutenant Scoresby, Royal Artilery), is reported as killed ; and one Captain (Keating) as wounded. The Second Brigade was to march immediately to Salle Lehut, and join Sir H. Rose's column. A combined movement will then be made on Thansi, which was only 36 miles' distance. Sir H. Rose's movement in the rear of the enemy's defences had caused great panic, and the whole of the Chundun districts and the Rajah of Banpoor territory, on the right of the Letwa river, had been abandoned by the rebels. The Rajah's possessions have been confiscated by Sir R. Hamilton. The rebels under Lala Sahib, brother of Nana Sahib, are in great force in Bundeleund. SOUTHERN MAHRATTA COUNTRY.

The sitting was a brief one, as no object of discussion bad been submitted to it. A le. ter was read from the President, the Prince de, Ligne, in which he excused hls non-attendance on the ground of the family loss which he has recently experienced, and requested a leave of absence, which was granted. The Senate adjourned after having assigned to the various committees for examination the bills adopted by the Chamber of Representatives. The next day the latter assembly resumed its sittings, but the proceedings were unimportant. SARDINIA. The Independente cf Turin of the 12 h says " The majority of the Chamber mtA yesterday, to cc-me to an arrange ment relative to the c:utiter project of the minority of the committee on the De Foresta proposition. It was agreed to in principle that conspiracy against, or attempts to take th e lif e gnov chief of a foreign govern of, a foreign sov erei men t should be punished by hard labour. The penalties imposed fur the apology of such crimes were approved of. As regards the jury, it was p r oposed that the list should be drawn up by a commission, consisting of the mayor, of two muni cipal councillors, and of two members of the Pro vincial Council, elected by the respective councils. Some of the members, however , intend to propo se the system of categories.' SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 14th have arrived. The Clamor Publico and Iberia had been seized. The Grand Cross of VA, Order of Charles 111. had been conferred on the Pope's Nuncio, in considera tion of his having held the infant Prince of the Asturias at the baptismal font.

In the Senate, the Minister of Public Works an nounced ilea the law relative to the importation of corn continues in force to 30ih June, but will not be prolouged. The Queen had presided at the cere mony of presenting the cardinal's hat to the Arch bishops of Toledo and Seville ; it took place with a good deal of pomp in the royal chapel. A royal decree establishes a commission charged to fix the tariffs of such railways and canals as have not yet had their charges fixed. In so doing it is to take into account the expense of constructing the lines, the subvention of which they have received, and the amount of the traffic.

THE MUSEUM OF THE LATE iluan MILLER. --A meeting with respect to the, purchase f this g eclogical museum was held in Edinburgh on Monday, the Lord Piovoat in the chair. The chairman stated that the late government bai set aside 5001. towards the purchaic of the museum and the placing, of it in the Edinburgh In dustrial Mu seum . T wo o th e r offers bad been received, the one front a Scotch nobleman of 1,0001., and the other frqoa an American college of a thousand guinear. To prevent its reini)val across the Atlantic it would be necessary that the wavernminat grant should b e supple mented to at least 50/. above the highest offer. A sub scription-list was opened and a committee appointed to promote the subscription. THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR. Marshal Pelissier, Duke of Malakhoff, the new French Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, left Calais, between 10 and 11 o'clock this morning, and arrived at Dover about one o'clock. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. The revival of " Faust and Marguerite" con tinues to attract full and fa,hionable audiences to this house. Perhaps the talent of Mr. Charles Kean has seldom been more aptly displayed than as the all-powerful, wily, arch-fiend, in the mortal shape of Mephistopheles. He identifies the sinister malice of the fallen angel, with the plausible exte rior of human reason, in a manner that impresses all who witness the personitioition, with a strong sense of the actor's vivid conception. One of the chief excellencies that distinguishes the Lucifer of Mr. Kean is the total absence of all attempt at vulgar, exaggerating burlesque, which such a character might easily induce a less re fined actor to merge into. Let Mr. Kean play what part he may, from Hamlet downwards, we ate sure to find the "gentleman' predominating in the histrionic development ; and in no instance is this individual trAit more ostensibly displayed, than tin his Mephistopheles, being at once suffi ciently crafty and terrible to qualify him for the lowest Pandemonium, yet without betraying a taint of coarseness that cou'd startle or offend the most- iiistidiuus lawn-robed battier. rine whole cast of the piece is in keeping with the correct tas' e and judgment of the '• ruling power." Mr. David Fisher is as go )d a Faust as the slender materials he has to employ will allow him to be. Mr. Catbcait's Valentine is earnest and vigorous; and Miss Le cl*rq's Marguerite is charming enough to afford a tangible excuse for human frailty. The Siebel of Mr. Saker is, perhaps, rather too potently charged with broad farce ; and a " toning down" would give much greater effect to the part. Thelifortha of. Mrs. Winstanley deserves especial notice ; for, like every portraiture entrusted to the hands of this talented actress, it is carefully and consistently given. The " makeup" of the old woman is artis tically typical of the objectionable duenna position she holds, without being severely repulsive ; and her acting throughout, exhibits true professional kuowl• dge and diligent study. The " side dishes' of "Samuel in Search of Himself," and "The Stock Exchange," are so very light, that the process of brain digestion attending them, is not likely to endanger the ment a l h ea lth of the consumers ; but The Princess's d oes no t p i n i ts f a ith o r is fame on Farce, and wins suffi c i ent " go ld en o pi n i o ns" with out paying court to Momus as well as Melpomene. 3118 S ARABELLA. GODDARD'S SOIREES. Miss Goddard has attained that high degree of perfection in the executive phase of music, which stamps her as a first rate artiste, and the series of soirees she is giving are among the most recherche and gratifying attractions, to those who are not prone to indulge in pleasures of an average class. We attended the first concert of the second series last evening at Willis's Rooms, and derived an exquisite amount of delight from the combination of the most eminent professional talent and the selection of choice and classic subjects. Miss God dard and Mr. Sainton (violin) opened the concert with a Sonata in E fiat, by Mozart, followed by Hummell's last Sonata in D. The works of Hum mel! are well worthy of the attention of our finest musicians ; and Miss Goddard has displayed equal taste and discrimination in making us better acquainted with this great composer. Bach's "Euga Scherzando," in conjunction with the great Fuge in A minor, were executed by Miss Goddard in a style that left nothing to be wished for. Her power of manipulation, delicacy of ex pression, and brilliancy of touch, place her in the first rank of pianistes, and the applause bee:owed on her performance, testified that her efforts were thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed. A glorious specimen of Beethoven's genius was afforded in his Sonata in A, the difficulties of which were ren dered with facile ease and finish by Miss Goddard. The concert was concluded with the Quartet in NI minor by Mendelssohn, achieved by the united aid of the gifted planiste, M. Sainton (violin), Herr Goffrie (viola), and Signor Piatti (violoncello). A greater musical treat we never experienced; a treat which was fully participated in, by a crowded and dish, guished audience.

'Vi count Falmouth has left the Clarendon for Mere worth Castle, near Maidstone. Lord Chew.uo 1343 arrived at the Pavilion Hotel, F .Iktston e. jug was generally approved by all parties. It bad greatly reduced the expense to the candidates— (hear, hear)—:n fact, the amount to be spent by them was limited by the government. It bad secured peace and good order at the elections ; there were no hourly returns ; nothing was known till the close of the poll, and it was then too late to make any disturbance. (Hear, hear.) Since the adoption of the ballot in Australia numbers of per sons had become converts to the system. State ments had appeared in the press of this country as to the bad working of the ballot, but these were wholly unfounded ; the best order prevailed at the elections, and this was testified by the Attorney- General of Victoria, and others who had been leading o pponents of the ballot. (Hear.) A member of the legislature bad recently written him to say that the ballot had done a great deal of good ; the worst fault he had to find with it was that the electors did not vote as they ought. (Laughter.) But it was a suf ficieut answer to that that they exercised their own flee will. (Hear.) It, had been said that only the town populations were in favour of the ballot ; but in Victoria its main supporters were the agricul tural members—in fact, its • only opponents were the nominated members. (Hear.) Lord Naas had expressed a doubt, at Cockermouth, whether, if the population at large had been polled, they would have been in favour of the ballot ; but his lordship was decidedly in error. Mr. Nicholson then alluded to the loyal feeling prevailing in the colony, and observed that its contribution to the Patriotic Fund was 150,0001., more than that of Scotland. (Hear.) It had since largely contributed to the Nightingale Fund and the India Relief Fund. The legislature had voted 25,0001. to the latter fund, and that le gislature was elected by ballot. (Cheers.) After again thanking the meeti n g f or th e h on our con ferred on him, he disclaimed the sole honour of having attained the success of the ballot in Aus tralia, and named several gentlemen who had ably co-operated with him. Mr. S. MORLEY moved the following resolution —" Suceess to the Annual Motion for the Ballot." (Hear, hear.) The public business of the country ought to be the private business of every English man. Mr. Nicholson had acted on this principle in the colony ; and we needed more such men in the House of Commons—men of honesty and intel ligence—middle-class men—who would firmly uphold the rights of the people. (Cheers.) The object of the ballot was to wield the honest, not the dishonest, voter—such men as were alluded to the other day by Sir Henry Dryden, that precious spe cimen of a landlord, who declared that a tenant had no right to use his landlord's land to vote against him—(hear, hear, and laughter)—and said he " would come down upon any tenant who changed his principles." (Laughter.) There WAS an impression out of doors that many members voted for the ballot who did not sincerely &sire it;' he had beard of one who said he always voted for it, but it was all humbug. (Cries of "Name.") He be lieved that this was the case of many members. If only 50 members would let it be known to the "Hayter" of the day that they were determined on having this question carried the thing would be done, no matter what Ministry was in power. He hoped such a combination would speedily be formed in the house, not only in favour of the ballot, but to obtain a thorough reform in the representation. Mr. AYRTON, M.P., dwelt on the influence which the ballot would exorcise on the morality of the electors as well as the elected. One of the best re sults would be to show the aristocracy that their predominance could only be maintained by superior moral conduct. (Hear.) The thanks of the meeting were voted to the Le. gislatures and people of Victoria, Tasmania, and South Australia, for adopting the ballot ; and the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to th• chairman. REPRESENTATION OF GREENWICH. Last evening a crowded public meeting of electors of the borough of Greenwich, was held at the School-room, King-street, Deptford, for the pur pose of adopting measures to enable Mr. Townsend, M.P., to retain his seat in the House of Commons. Mr. MACDONNELL, of Greenwich, was called t• the chair. Mr. DAVEY, of Charlton, moved the first reso lution, expressive of confidence in Mr. Townsend, and a determination to retain his services. lie observed that the friends of Mr. Townsend in the districts of Woolwich, Charlton, and Plumstead, would stick by him to the last, or rather until they found that he was unworthy of their confidence. (Cheers.) It was singular that an association of the friends of Mr. Townsend had not been formed be fore, but it was not too late, and such a plan would be the means of uniting the Liberals, so that they would be prepared, at any future time, to return true Radical Reformer, even in the event of Mr. Townsend's resignation. Mr. FITZGERALD seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. WCARTHY proposed, " That an p.asociation be now formed, to be dciiignated ' The Townsend Leaguer,' in order to raise subscriptions to main-. lain Mr. Townsend in his seat, and that such as ' 606 ation be composed of electors and non-electors." Mr. DEWEY seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. It was then resolved that the executive of such association be a committee conflating of 24 mem bers, eight to be elected by each of the three towns comprising the borough ; tind a sub-committee of electors from Greenwich, Deptford, Woolwich, and Cliarltcn, was also appointed to prepare the rules of the association, to be submitted to an adjourned meeting on Monday evening next. Several operatives, employed at Deptford Dock yard and at the factory of Messrs. Penn, stated that a weekly subscription had been organised for some time, and a considerable sum was now in hand. Mr. W. G. Masters was appointed treasurer for Deptford district, and expressed bis intention to give every assistance to the movement. The proceedings then terminated. MARKET NEWS.—(Tais Day.)

The show of calves was only moderate ; never theless the veal trade was heavy, at a decline of 6d per 81bs. Pigs and mulch cows were very dull, and lower to purchase.
