An ORDINARY each Day at Three o'Clock precisely. Newcastle, 18th Feb. 1858. To the ELECTORS of the COUNTY of BUCKINGHAM. 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 Houie of Com 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. . . . underallcircumstancea. It is England's only chance. She has not that suppleness, that versatility, that power of varying her tone to the convenience of tire I j hour, that are necessary in any other course. Eng- I land cannot s e nd a p u bli c d espatc h and entreat a • private answer. It is as much as her life is worth. I She is not Imperial. She has always managed ill in the pleasant intercourse of Royal families. When it comes to a persona 1 question she is grounded, sure as fate. She has not that species of tact which consists in getting on very cleverly in a wrong course. This is not mere flattery, for Eng land goes wrong sometimes, and when she does it is with a vengeance. But it makes one almost doubt of personal identity to think of Lord Palmer ston and Lord Clarendon taking intentions on trust, as if intentions were the matter in hand. Did they accept the very innocent intentions of the Emperor Nicholas I Have they not both told us, and told the. French Government also, that the law of our country cannot deal with intentions, Lut only with overt acts ? We may consider intentions in the case of an apparent inadvertence ; that is, we may ask whether the act was intended or not ; but when a man with time and apparent deliberation does that which injures us we treat him much the same, whether he be sane or insane. We put him in prison—the longer if he be supposed incapable of intention. This is not to punish him, but to avert from ourselves a repetition of the injury. So must State deal with State. It cannot scrutinise what may be a matter of chance, a momentary impulse, a panic, the fault of an inexpert writer, any trifle. It can only deal with the act, and can only do so before the eyes of the whole world, and with ito own character and destinies at stake, THE LAW OF LIBEL. - , r - LI wit 4D.

REFORM' MEETING IN BIRMINGHAM. A meeting of the members of the Reform Union of Birmingham was held on Monday night, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present position of political affairs consequent on the re-ig nation of Lord Palmerston. Mr. G. Edmonds, the clerk of the peace, presided. The CHAIRMAN, iu opening the proceedings, re marked that the fall of Lord Palmerston was alto gather one of the most extraordinary on record. It was very curious that he should have been over thrown upon a measure which the House of Com mons had approved on its introduction by a majo rity of 200. (Hear, hear.) Generally speaking, the course of defeat of a Ministry was visible from certain external symptoms, but nobody could hive been taken more aback than the late Premier, when in the course of a few days he found on the same question not a majority of 200-in his favour, but more than that number against him, a change which was almost unparalleled. (Hear, hear.) Now, however, it beh ove d th em to act witlicaution and discretion. The new Ministry would no doubt be very anxious to keep in, and he should not be surprised if Mr. Disraeli would take a leaf out of the late Sir Robert Peel's Look with reference to the repeal of the corn laws, and bring in such a measure of reform as they could not expect to have from any of the Whigs. (Hear, hear.) Do not let thew, therefore, trouble themselves about party distinctions, but make up their minds to achieve a certain end, and if they were united they would be sure to succeed. (Cheers.) Having impressed upon the meeting the importance of contending for an adjustment of electoral districts, and also the value of observing loyalty in connection with their agi tation for a measure of reform, the chairman re ferred to the Anglo-French alliance, and the reports which had been originated of a rupture between the two countries by the defeat of the Ministry on the Conspiracy Bill, and whilst condemning the concoction of plots to murder, he upheld the free dom of English constitutional law, and contended that it ought Inver to be altered at the request of a continental despot. (Cheers.) Mr. BEDDOWS, in moving the first resol u ti on , sa id that when they their national independence interfered with at the call of a foreign potentate it was time for Englishmen to take the initiative, and put it out of the power of Government to do what they attempted to do the other thy. Ho was glad the attempt did not succeed, and he was proud of the men who had been instrumental in defeating the Ministry on such a measure. (Cheers.) With respect to reform, ho found that the movement had been taken up in other towns, and he had no doubt the course pursued by Birmingham men at this juncture would be looked to . with much interest as an example. He begged to move the following re solution :---" That the best thanks of this meeting be given to Mr. Gibson, Mr. Bright, Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Gladstone, and Lord J. Russell, for the man ner in which they opposed the ill-timed and insi dious proposals of Lord Palmerston to interfere with the ancient laws of this country, under which foreigners have for so many centuries found a safe asylum from the religious and political persecutions of their own country, and also to Mr. Sholefield and the other 97 members who opposed the intro duction of the bill " Mr. JA.otEs TAYLOR seconded the proposition, and in doing so observed that he joined in the general feeling of satisfaction at the downfall of Lord Palmerston, and, he cordially concurred in the vote of thanks to the men who had led the van of the opposition to the Coospiraoy Ihll. (Ohocre.) It should be their policy to endeavour to get such men at the head of the Government. They were not, it was true, of the aristocracy of the country, but they were of the aristocracy of intellect and moral worth, and until they bad such men in power, the country would never ye satisfied. (Loud cheers,) As to th e p resen t Government, they must ' be ask.'d for a measure of Reform, and if they did not bring one forward, such men as the resolution referred to must be asked to originate such an one would either destroy the Ministry or bring the matter to a glorious issue. (Loud cheers.) The re solution was then put and carried by acclamation. Mr. J. S. WRIGHT next moved the following re solution :—" That although the Ministry of Lord Palmerston had promised a Reform Bill, yet the evident intentionwas either to make it a secondary matter or postpone its consideration altogether dur ing the present session ; and that it is still more improbable that the present Tory Government will voluntary extend the franchise, or give the people their fair share of political power. It is therefore incumbent on all liberal men throughout the coun try to unit© and heartily support that party in the house who are prepared to enlarge the basis of re presentation, and who will promote such measures of civil and ecclesiastical reform as are in accord ance with the progressive spirit of the age and the advanced intelligence of the English nation." The hon. gentleman said he rejoiced that a minister who had all along been inimical to the elevation and en franchisement of the people no longer held the reins of power. As to the Derby Government, he dis agreed with the opinion that any reform bill worth acceptation would be introduced by them. (Hear.) If Lord Derby did bring in a bill he would take good care of the counties, and put the claims of the towns on one side. (Cheers.) Mr. G. DAWSON, in a humorous and character istic address, seco nded the motion. He had never been, he observed, an admirer of Lord Palmerston —he never believed lie was in earnest, and his theory as to his policy had turned out perfectly correct. They had bean all along taught to regard Lord Palmerston as a spirited statesman, but he was au intense oligarch, and he did not care a trifle for snubbing a prince or putting down a nationality. (Cheers.) Lord Palmerston had all along walked in the wrong path, and had never deviated into the right—(laughter)—and had come to the most miserable end that a minister could come to. (Hear,, hear, and laughter.) In fact, h e (M r . D aw• son) called Palmerston the " British Esau " (much laughter)—for he had been content to sell English liberty for a mess of French pottage ; but it was too hot for hi m . (R enewed laughter.) On the subject of the Conspiracy Bill he remarked that, if the law required altering, let them alter it in accordance with the common sense of the coun try, but not for the purpose of flattering and tick ling with a foreign Power. As to the alliance, un less it was one of nation and nation, and not of Government with Government, it was not worth anything. (Cheers.) It was said, " But if you throw out the measure, you will have war." Very well, let thole be war ; they must not do evil that good might come. (Hear.) Old England had stood alone, and had held her own before now, and could do so again ; but it was a sad pass if she had come down to the point of sacrificing her indepeund ence through a coward fear of France. cheers.) Speaking next of the new Government,l.s(terial Mr. Dawson read an extract from of t p he er m hy in in the announcement made by House of Lords that even t i h n e g, Ea wl for warded to him by telegraph s , and said that as it ap pearedb intention to proceed oh had been r a e r care t a o s to be Lord Derby's h w a it v h e h h a e t Conspiracy measure naty - d y e 't f i e l a ey t e d m b u e s f t o r t e ak t e he c ( a t ny ou h d os h e ee o rs f .) the introduction . of a Reform Bill. — P ‘ l ‘ c T K lr Eit at . r w es as olu t t o ion th w e a f g ol ni lo n w v i e n d g b e y ffe M ct r ; ING Th a e a n d ex i t t liberals of Birmingham may co-operate, the 'Reformers' Union offers a basis upon w an h d ich ti t i h en e and their influence to the movement which is now becoming general, and it is especially important that at this most critical juncture all classes of re formers should merge their differences and unite in on e great effort to obtain a really effective and liberal measure of reform."

The half-yea y meeting of this company WAS held at N ewcastle-on-Tyne, on Monday. The report stated that great attention had been bestowed upon the rolling stock of the company, and that it was now in a high state of efficiency. As regards the Morpeth branch, it had been' ceitt pleted and was now used for mineral and goods traffic, and would, in the coursed' a few weeps, be opened for passengers' traffic. The gross inemne--. for the last. half-yea r , t oget h er with the balance brought from the previous half-year, was .56,340/., and, after deducting 24,9261. the working charges. interest on debentures , and other outgoinas, a • balance remai ne d of 11,41 K, out of which the directors proposed to pay the usual dividend of 10/. per cent. upon the preference shares. and 71. per cent. (being an increase of one-half per cent. upon the last dividend) upon the ordinary and ex tension shares, leaving a balance of 3,2771. for the next half-year's account. The receipts showed an increase of 5,276/. over the corresponding -period, of which 4,9621. was derived from c-all The expenditure showed as increase of 44031., and the net increase amounted to 4,8211. The report was adopted. • • LOWESTOFT AND BECCLES. The 11 4-yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday, at Lowestoft ; Mr. E. Loathes in the chair. The report of the directors stated that Perlis ineutary sanction wes:almost certain to be obtained in a few months to the amalgamation of the com pany with the East Suffolk undertaking. The ac counts showed that the receipts on capital account during the half-year had been 6,518/., and the ex penditure 6,0281., leaving a balance on December 31, 1857, of 4891. Th 3 CMAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, stated that he could confirm from his own observation the favourable statements made of the progress of the line, and also of the East * Suffolk undertaking. Although ho had had at one time doubts as to the progress of the • line between Woodbridge and Ipswich, he believed now that all difficulties were removed, but that a 'how through communication 'would soon be established with London. An improvement had taken place in the management of the Eastern Counties Com pany, and he believed the improvement would be attended with benefit to the East Suffolk system. Mr. C. STEWIRD seconded the adoption of the report, which was agreed to unanimously. In reply to Mr. Seppings, Mr. DAT, the solicitor, stated that one of the new bills now before Parliament provided for the construction of the Mutford Lock branch line with all possible despatch. Mr. R. GA.RRETT moved a vote of thanks to Sir Morton Peto for the excellent manner in which he was performing his contract. Mr. GowiNG seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to. Sir M. PET° returned thanks, and stated that the line would be completed in Sept. next, and place Lowestoft within three hours and a half of London. With regard to the branch . at Mutford it would obviate the necessity of a new passenger station at Lowestoft, as it, would render the present station of the Eastern Counties Company available. It would also expedite greatly the transit of fisb. Land had been secured for a new goods station at Lowe . - stoft, and the company Would thus have the means of erecting a new passenger terminus if any disa greement ever arose between themselves and the Eastern Counties board. He was at present con structing in connection with the 'Eastern Counties, the Blackwell, and the Tilbury bornpanies, a new fish station, not more than a third of a mile from Billingsgate; fish trains would be forwarded to this terminus, and a great saving of time would be effected, as they now stopped about three miles from the market. A vote of thanks to the directors for their ser vices closed the proceedings. FOREST OF DEAR . (CENTRAL. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Newnham a few days ago. The reports of the directors and engineers were satisfactory, and showed that considerable progress had been made in the construction of the line, notwithstanding the necessity the directors had been under of some what cheekily , the rapid progress of the works, owing to the late financial crisis. The report was adopted. 5aa1ft........ DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA. The report of the directors of this company states that the receipts for the balf-year ending 31st of December last amounted to 44,0101., and for the corresponding half of 1856 to 42,7751., showing an increase of 1,2351., while the working expenses exceed those of the same period by only 227/., 1, 007/. showing an increase in the pr o fit s o f The profits of the half-year, after paying working expenses, aro 27,5941., and from this is deducted 11, 2711. for interest on loans and dividends on preference shares, leaving 16,322/. Out of this the directors recommend a dividend of 335. 9d. cn each 751. share, and lls. 3d. on each 251. share, being at the rate of 4i per cent. per annum, leaving 3,566/. Th e wor k s on the Dundalk and' Ennis killen line have been carried on vigorously, and are now so far advanced that the greater part of it is expected to be ready for traffic in about two months. The report was adopted. -- UNIB CANNOCK MINERAL. The report of the directors of this company states that before the 14th of October last the re quired sum of 6,000/. bad been expended on the works, to the satisfaction of the Board of Trade, who accordingly issued their certificate, and con firmed the company in the extension of time for the completion of the works. Since that period the works have been steadily progressing. Ar rangements have been made for the transfer of the contract for the works to Mr. T. Brassey, the emi nent contractor. The directors hope that the tirae is near at hand when they may advantageousl y dis pose of the shares which Were forfeited un the powers of the Act of 1855.

THAMES TUNNEL. Yesterday the annual assembly of the proprietors of the i Thames Tunnel was held at Radley's Hotel, Bridge-street. Mr. Woollaston presided, and in his opening ob serva ti ons stated that the directors had their eyes open for some railway project to con nect the Surrey and Commercial Docks with those on the north bank of the river, and which commu nicating between the Blackwall Railway and the Brighton line would facilitate the passenger traffic between the north and south sides of tks metro:- polis.

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 both 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 rair.ved. ft the country will heartily support the Queen's Government at this conjuncture, a result so desireable for the peace and progress of Europe will be greatly facilitated.

Committee-room, deorge Hotel, Aylesbury, March 2,1859. (Front the Times.) -48 The debate of Monday evening forms a new and important scene iu what we must prondunce a strange political drama. Hera are a dozen Eng lish gentlemen of extraordinary powers and address who have passed their lives, some rather long ones, in the face of society, at the head of affairs, on the grandest arena in the world. Such men are com monly supposed to be able to take care of them selves, and to require little sympathy of the milder wee and scarcely even candour. In this instance they have been laid under serious imputa tions, affecting even their courage and patriotism, and have been visited, with the heaviest penalty their country could inflict on the worst or weakest Minister. Now, suppose such men to be really innocent of the charge, it might be expected that the truth would flash out at once, that the victims of calumny would speak trumpet-tongued ; that they would immediately, with one consent, stamp every act and circumstance of the affair ou the minds of all within hearing, even while the false charge was hovering over their heads, and before it could descend. If such men can justify them selves, who, indeed, can ? Are men who for many years have proved themselves capable of governing this empire, and controlling far and wide the des tinies of mankind, to descend to posterity or the tomb like the feebler victims of private aspersion ? Is Lord Palmerston, is Lord Clarendon, no better than the poor creature wh ose character for honesty has been slandered away at a tea-table.? Seriously, to judge from the last month, one might almost "suppose so. Or, if this solution be impossible, one might suppose these pillars of the Sate suddenly seized with that monomania not uncommon in the dangeryi.uni " weaker sex at a cer t a i n age, when they purposely incur suspicion in order to render th emse l ves objects of intetest, and r e f use t o be exculpated, that some day they ma y b e h ero i nes of a grand justification. Never did i nnocence come out so surely and so slowly. S u b s t ae ti a t ly, in the eyes of aegels, if they take inte res t i n suc h matters, thesemen are more than guiltle ss o f th e c h arges brought against them. They hav e acquit-ed them se l ves nobly. May we always hav e ru l ers as alive to the character and honour of thei r country ! They have thrown back every base iu s i nuation, every ill construction, in the face of th e i r accusers. But why did all this remain to b e d one ? Why need .such men be driven to the shils of th e v i rago who stuns a lane with the proofs of he r i n t egrity 1 Why was the suspicion ever incurred I W hy not re moved at once ?

But where the need of so much pother ? There ought to have been none. It has taken a whole month to eliminate the truth ; but a truth there now is, as substantial, as distinct, as undeniable, as confessed, as the pre cious result of the chemist's long toil, after earth, air, fire, and water have contributed their several ordeals. . The truth is, Walewaki's despatch ought to have been answered without a day's delay more than was unavoidable, and with anoth er d espatc h precisely the same in form and kind. The reasons assigned by Lord Clarendon and others for not answering it ,may serve to show the diffi culty and delicacy of the task, but they prove no more, and what ar e F ore i gn Mi n i s t ers and diplo matists made for but to surmount, not to avoid, difficulties of this sort ? It is too evident that one fatal idea ran through all that was done on our side. That was to manage the difficulty without meeting it face to face ; to do it quietly, privately, irregularly, and irresponsibly, as between one man or one household and another, not as between nation and nation. It was not so done on the other side. The French Government made a public, direct, and very bluff appeal to our k tountry to do something, the immense difficulty of which none knew better—none had tatter reasons for knowing —than the very persons who made it, who corn- , mended it to be made, who wrote it, who laid it before the British Minister. Merely to enlighten the authors of the appeal on the diffi cu lt y o f modifying our law of asylum, anticipating con spiracy, tacking suspicion, nipping euterprises in the bud, and banishing marked characters from our sheres, would be a waste of instruction verging on the burlesque. Yet this was all - that was done— well done, done with spirit and. ability, no doubt ; but it was all. The French dovetail was utilized, promulgated to all the world, made national capital, accompanied and interpreted by manifestoes, to sober English judgment very similar in tone, from Ministers of State, high functionaries about the person of the Emperor, public bodies, and military officers speaking in behalf of their regiments. We quite concede to Lord Claret:doe, arid, we must add, to Lord Derby, that in order to make allowance for the language of these manifestoes we ought, if we can, to put ourselves in the position of the French. But that does not alter, or hide, or diminish the fact that tb . prodigious ' national es demonstration was made, and that it was sanc tioned, pointed, and thrust home A to England by a despatch read to our Foreig n Minister, and pub lished in the llloaiteur. Hardly could we imagine an appeal from one nation -to another which more required to be met with at least the same gravity and solemnity as those with which it was made. In private life it is net permitted to a man to meet an open appeal otherwise than by an open response ; and all attempts to whisper it off would place a man in an uncomfortable position. So it must be in the dealings of one State with another. But this idea of privacy, of management, in directness, personal interpretation, and hiding the difficulty frem one's own eyes, pervades the whole affair. Lord Clarendon takes the French des p atch sentence by sentence, and endeavours to prove that it really presented no point for denial or objection, and that it was not meant to give offence. As a fact, it did give offence, we may say in round terms, to the whole British nation. did too, in ion. It this, spite of that truthfulness and careful weighing of statements ascribed to it by Lord Clarendon, and in spite of that peculiar exactness and clearness of phraseology claimed by the French press for all their public documents. But who ever said that it was meant to give offence ? Is it likely that, when the Emperor and his Ministers were requiring us to make or administer our laws with a viewtohis personal safety and secure dominion, they would go out of their way to give us unnecessary Offence ? Very few offences are meant to give offence. They are generally for purposeswhich would be imperilled by offence, and which are best attained without rousing suspicion or resentment. Most of the crimes that come before our courts would be done not only under chloroform, but even with the con sent of the victims, if that were possible. Orsini did not mean to offend. He meant to kill. Wh o wants to offend those whom he robs or defrauds, those whom he slights, those whom he Pu t s wholly out of the question, and wishes never to think of ? Here was a series of manifestoes, confessedly at the expense of the British people, injurious to the character of their institutions, and even touching their security. Is it necessary to inqui re whether offence was intended I Yet Lord Clarend on makes it all turn on that question ; and, to se t tle It, has recourse to the private, ex parte Inter pretation, of the man he had to deal with—the French Anab.osa dor. Persigny was quite sure Walew s ki meant no offence ! Why, then, not reply at once in a despatch not meant to offend I But the French Minister earnestly deprecated a desp a t ch that mieht possibly give offence. Of course, they y de precated a public reply of any sort, unles s .: it came in the form of acquiescence. It Was a great coup for such men to deliver such a despatch at the Court of St. James and meet with no reply . They had good reasons to avoid a controversy, But here was the fatal error into which these clever novices in diplomacy drew our long-tried veterans. They acted publicly themselves, and made us act pri vately. Unfortunately, they found in Lord s P a l_ merston and Clarendon two men who, though de voted servants of their country, forgot Ou this occasion that they were the Ministers of a great and constitutional Government ; that they had to deal not merely with a Minister or an Emperor, but with nations ; that it was an affair of public act, not personal intentions, and that when a mes sage of the gravest interest was once despatched to England, and written on the page of history, the nation that received it was as good a judge of its actual force as the Minister who had sent it. Writing on behalf of the British people, and of those constitutional principles which have been impressed upon us by a thousand warnings, we can only regard this affair,, on the adfirlslon of the late Government, as a fresh proof Of the necessity of prompt, direct, open, and constitutional action (Prom the Times.) In the House of Lords on Friday last, when Lord Campbell postponed the second reading of the Law of Libel Amendment Bill, Lord Lyndhurst suggested that " the noble and learned Lord should take advantage of the postponement to make the Bill more extensive in its operation.” —a remark which was accepted with thanks. We trust we may entertain a hope from these observations that the justice which it was proposed to extend to the press in the discharge of its professional duties will be measured still more liberally than was at first designed, and, that the able advocacy of Lord Lyndhurst will be given to our claims upon the consideration of the Legislature. The public has been already made acquainted with our position in this matter. It is expected of the newspaper press that it shall furnish the country with true and faithful reports of all public proceed ings, and especially of all debates and speeches bearing an important public character. This duty is performed by the agency of gentlemen whose skill and accuracy are often made the subject of admiration, and the whole community is thus en abled, infinitely to its advantage, to take a share, as it were, in every great or interesting discussion. All that Mr. Disraeli or Lord Stanley, for instance, may presently have to say to their constituents will be heard, through the instrumentality of trained reporters, in every corner of the country, and the views and intentions of the new Ministry will be placed freely before the public as soon as they are expressed. This duty, however, we can only under take at our own proper peril. If it happens on any occasion that a public speaker utters words.defama tory of another person, .and that person should think fit to demand redress, it is competent to him, as the law now stands, to bring an action against the journal containing the report, although the re port may be true, faithful, free from any suspici on of malice, and published simply in the performance of a recognised.professional duty. Iu one case only are we protected—that of the reports of proceed ings in a court of justice ; in all the rest, however plainly innocent we may be, we are exposed to penalty for the sayings of others. Lord Campbell's hill propoied to extend our immunity to reports of proceedings in Parliament, and to give us also partial protection in the case of certain other meet ings, carefully defined. For these intentions we repeat our acknowledgments, but that the opera tion of the act may be rendered more eater sive without damage to any interests whatever we must sincerely maintain. We are prepared to put aside all special claims in this matter, and to leave the question to be aigued on the broad grounds of public interest alone. We need not insist on the fact that the system of reporting is beneficial to the community. No one would think of controverting the point. Even a man who makes a dead set at the Times desires and expects that we should report his speech in full, and publish to the world the character he gives us. This is a function of our profession which all men concur in esteeming, and it supplies, indeed, the best corrective—if any such element should be thought wanting—of any thing like an overbe iring influence on the part of the press itself. Our own opinions are not the only opinioniewhich are read in our columns. If we differ from Lord Derby, the reader has only to turn the page over, and he will find Lord Derby speaking for himself. If he chooses to con the debates and skip the leading articles, he can do so. if he is struck with the comments upon any public proceedings he has nothing to do but to refer to the report, and he at once becomes qualified to test our judgment by his own. Besides, the very fact that we already stand protected in one instance, and that it is designed to protect us in others, suffi ciently shows the recognition which the system re• ceives. But between the cases thus privileged and others the difference is oily one of degree. Admit ting that the proceedings in a court of justice and the debates in Parliament are of more consequence in this respect than ordinary transactions, yet there are very many instances besides in which this agency of the press is of the greatest importance. Even Ministers now-a-days make speeches of something like official interest at meetings not of an official character. Probably we shall see some examples in the course of a few days, and during a Parliamen tary recess it is common enough for leading states men to communicate with the public on occasions which would hardly fall within the rigorous defini tions of Lord Campbell's Bill. Apart from these more signal specimens, many transactions of the utmost importance to the welfare and progress of society are conducted through public meetings and speeches made public property through this func tion of the press. These considerations are so plainly sound and reasonable that nobody, we think, would be found to gainsay them. If we rightly understand Lo Campbell's persuasions in this matter he is deterred from giving greater latitude to the provisions of his bill, not by any injustice attaching to our claims in the abstract, but by apprehension of the abuses which might ensue. If any journal could justify the publication of any matter upon the plea that it was a true report of what was spoken at a public meeting there would no longer be any hold on the possible excesses of the press, for anybody might call or pretend to call a meeting and seoure immu nity for a blasphemous, seditious, or defamatory publication by pretending to speak it, or getting it spoken beforehand. This, we presume, has been the view taken of the consequences which might be en tailed. In reply we beg to represent what we have already avowed—that we are willing to have the bona fide character of our proceedings estimated and tested at every successive stage. With the principles involved in Lord Campbell's definitions we are perfectly prepared to close, and stand or fall by the true lawfulness and publicity of the al leged occasion. ft would be bard, we think, to prove to the satisfaction of a judge and jury that such a meeting as that imagined above was a lawful public meeting. Surely it could not be difficult to detect any collusion or trick, and to sweep away in au instant any pretexts founded on inch a sham. We have no objection to accept the onus of proof. We are willing to be called upon for demonstration I of our genuine and recogn i se d pro f ess ional position in any case. If any report appearing in our columns is made a subject of prosecution, we should not reclaim against being asked to prove not only that the report is true and devoid of all malice, but that the occasion on which the reporter attended was a public occasion, a lawful occa sion, and an occasion where this agency of the press was fairly and naturally to be expected. Lawfulness or non-lawfulness is an issue which a Court would surely not have much difficulty in try ing, just as they may try the malice or n on-malice of any particular publication. We do not believe that it would be possible for any journal to turn this protection to bad purposes with impunity. e Although this country is proud of its press, and we hope with some reason, there is never a disposition to countenance it in anything like licence ; indeed, the good taste and good sense of the public furnish the best possible safeguards against abuse. We are ere for any im munity or latitude in not asking, be it always remembered , giving expression to opinions of our own. For all that we say on our own autho rity we accept all possible responsibility, but wh en w e are merely lending our columns to others in order that they may speak, too, we think we should be relieved . from all obligation except that of pro fessional good faith, We cannot but hope that A I3OT M n. day.--On Sunday aft ernoon two boys of the name c of Birkin, residing at Old Radford, a village a mile from Nottingham, were playing at a game called " wicket" ‘lhen the eld er youth threw a stone at the wicket, behind which was his younger brother, a lad five years of age. The stone hit the mark, and then rebounded and came iu contact liith the lad's side, near the region of the heart. The boy instantly expired from the force of the , blow.

The de mand is of a general character, no considerable portion of it being from any one source, either borne or foreign. Manufacturers are buyers, but supply themselves sparingly through finding great difficulty in reimbursing themselves by any extra charge on cloth. Manufacturers who are not full of orders are in the market, and display great firm ness, in some cases demanding an advance on the highest rates of last week, but buyers, having sup plied themselves of late to au extent which has enabled them to meet their more pressing wants, are not operating to much extent. LEEDS, MARCH 2. The attendance of buyers in the cloth halls has been below an average this morning, and so has the amount of business done. Indeed, very little cloth changed hands, the setting in of bleak wintry weather appearing to have checked the disposition to prepare for the spring and summer trade, which was beginning to be manifested. HUDDERSFIELD, M A , Rett 2 . There has been a rather a dull market to-day. There were fr•w buyers, and they operated spaL iiigly. Cotton warps sold readiest, but the tran sact.lons were chiefly fur job lots. The snowstorm undoubtedly had some effect on trade. LOCAL SHARE VAARII74. LIVERPOOL - MARCH 2.
