" Ilow we sliceild live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health fnli threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although hearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea ture able to understan I ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their_several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithffilly imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the 1111 e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation ,f our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest Of nod's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

FEARFUL ACcIDEN T AND LOSS OF LIVES ON THE GREAT NORTH OF FRANCE RAILWAY. Intelligence respecting a fearful catastrophe, which oc curred on the Great North of France Railway, reached the city of Brussels by the train from Paris, which arrived at six o'clock on Thursday morning. It appears that a train comprising twelve or fifteen carriages left Paris for Brussels at an early hour on the previous day, and proceeded without the slightest obstruction or accident, at the ordinary rate of speed, until it arrived at a portion of the line between the stations of Arras and Douay, where the railway crosser a river or pond. When the engine and train reached the centre of the bridge, from some cause yet undiscovered, al though every possible exertion has been made to ascertain it, the engine ran off the rails, broke down the parapet wall of the bridge, and was precipitated into the water. The engine dragged with it the tender and two carriages. Fortunately the connecting chain between those vehicles and the third carriage became dissevered by violence of the shock, and thus the remainder of the carriages, which were crowded with passengers, escaped total demolition. By this dreadful accident at least nineteen lives have been lost, in cluding those of the stoker and driver of the engine; and, so far as could be ascertained amid the consternation which en sued, there is too much reason to believe that fifty or sixty individuals have been seriously injured. It is said that the engine, at the time of the disaster, was not proceeding at a greater speed than fifteen miles an hour, and it is in a great measure owing to this fortunate circumstance that the sacri fice of human life was not of a more appalling nature. As might naturally be expected, the intelligence of this ca tastrophe created the most painful sensation in the city of Brussels, but more especially among the English residents there. The North of France line was opened to the public about four weeks ago by the King of the Belgians, and up to the occurrence of the accident which has been attend( d with such deplorable and melancholy results, the trairs ran regularly each day, at intervals of two or three hour,, without the slightest interruption, owing to the excellent and judicious management of the company, and the strict surveillance exercised by the subordinates of the French and Belgian Governments, representatives from whom im mediately proceeded to the scene of the calamity to obtain accurate information respecting the cause and extent of the accident. His HIGHNESS IBRAHIM Pactll.—On Friday morning, shorty after eleven o'clock, the Pacha, accompanied by Col. Bonfort and M. Nubar, and attended by Major Dickson, left Mivart's lintel for Stockwell-park, there to inspect the ex tensive racing stud belonging to Mr. Theobald. His High ness and suite, on their arrival, were received by the pro prietor. After inspecting the arrangements, he departed on his return to his hotel. The Paella and party were caught in a heavy storm, and were obliged to dress again before lun cheon. In the afternoon, his Highness proceeded to Apsley House, to visit the Duke of Wellington, but the Noble Duke being absent from home, the Pacha merely left his card; he then visited the Marquis of Lansdowne. the Earl of Minto, the Earl of Clarendon, Sir John Cam Hobhouse, the Marquis of Clanricarde, Viscount Morpeth, and several of the Ministers of State. A deputation of the Aborigines Protection So ciety had the honour of waiting on his Highness to present an address from that association, as it stated, for "promoting the safety, welfare, and improvement of the native inhabi tants of the dependencies of the British Empire." The Pacha received the deputat ion with marked courtesy. His Highness ::übsequently gave an interview to Mr. Henry Smith. THE COLLOSAL WELLINGTON.—A scaffolding of great strength has been erected on the east side of the arch way at Hyde Park-corner, and the preparations seem nearly ripe for raising the ponderous mass to its ill-chosen destina tion. The transport and elevation of it will be difficult, and will need much care and skill. A correspondent tells us that the carriage on which it is to be moved is twenty-four feet in length, the axle thirteen feet four inches, with a circumfer ence of thirty inches; the whee'.s are ten feet high, or thirty one feet six inches in circumference, four in number, and weigh two tons six cwt. each, or nine tons. The castings are at present in the pit, and " a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether," will be needed even to lift them thence. Go vernment, it seems, is lending a hand to the work. An eminent contractor estimated the cost of carrying the cast ings from the arti;A's studio to the arch, and hoisting them (in three pieces—to do it whols he was not disposed), at 1,8001. What the operation is actually to cost wo do not know.—The Builder. THITNpER-STORikr. Another thunder-storm burst over the metropolis on Friday Afternoon, Its influence was felt, more or less. in all parts of the town and its neighbour• hood, but the storm seems to have burst with the greatest violence in the region of Finsbury. The lightning struck down a man in Milton-street, near the late City Theatre, and also severely damaged a house in Wilson-street, occupied by Mr. Lyons, fur 'dealer, displacing an angular abutment and knocking over four chimne • pots.' The 'rain by which the lightning was accompanied will prove of great advantage to the agriculturist and gardener. The election ofNe, Member to represent this metro politan borough in Parliament, consequent on the resignation of Colonel Fox, who has accepted the office, under Lord John Russell's Government, of Surveyor-Gen ,of the Board of Ordnance, took place on Saturday at Stepney-green, afternoon at one o'clock. There being no opposition to the Gallant Colonel, who offered himself for re-election, the affair was as dull as anything of the kind could well be. At the hour of the proceedings commencing there were not more than three hundred persons present,, and at any time there were not more than five hundred. The only circum stance that denoted the t rdinary character of an election was the promise of a Contest at the forthcoming general election, as apparent by the following hand-bill which was plentifully distributed about:— " The requisitions to L. Heyworth and G. Thompson, Esqs., to become candidates to represent this borough in Parliament have already received the signatures of several hundreds of electors, but as the existence of the present Parliament must of necessity be of very short duration, it is not considered advisable to con test the borough on this occasion. The prospect of a general election must therefore be borne in mind, and if the electors desire to have for their representatives men who are advocates of liberal pririCiples, they must unite in a cordial invitation to such men as Messrs. Heyworth and Thomp son, whose free-trade principles are not paralysed by the repeal of the corn:laws ; whose love of religions liberty will not permit them to support any State endowments of reli gion ; and whose se nse o f po li t i ca l j ust i ce i s not li m i te d b y the Reform Bill, but includes the enfranchisement of all." The hustings and other arrangements for conducting the business of the nomination were of the most meagre and incomplete character—the former being made up of three old waggons, placed lengthwise, and covered with a piece of tarpaulin, which, when crowded with the members of the Gallant st eoloners committee, groaned and creaked in,sko :ice manner. As far as it re-, garded the press, accommoiation there was none— the whole of the gentlemen representing the metropolitan journals being crowded together and forced to stand in a narrow space in front of the platform. With some difficulty, and after a remonstrance on the part of the reporters, a small rickety table, sufficient for two to write on, with a couple of chairs, were pro cured from a neighbouring public-house, and duly placed in front of the platform, for the accommodation of about twenty-four gentlemen of the " fourth estate." Amongst those present, connected with the Liberal interest of the borough, we recognised the following gentlemen:—G. Offor, Esq., Martineau, Esq., Sir E. N. Buxton, Mr. Salomons, Mr. Hammack, Mr. Oven den, Mr. Bewley, Mr. Atkins, Dr. Snow, Mr. Wire, Messrs. W. and J. Wright, Mr. J. Tanner, Mr. J. Stokes, Dr. Jenkins, &c., &c. The Returning Officer (Henry Child, Esq.) read the precept for the election, and the usual oaths being ad ministered, and the Act against bribery and corruption read, said that it was his duty, as returning officer, to remind them of the importance of the work they were now called upon to perform, not only with regard to themselves, but to the whole constituency of that im portant borough, as well as to the nation at large.— ( Hear.) He trusted that they would treat any person who should present himself before them as a candidate that day respectfully, and with attention. He would just mention one circumstance, before concluding, to show the necessity for discharging carefully the important trust reposed in them as electors.—(Hear.) The consti tuency of that borough consisted of 18,000 individuals, and he found by the returns, that at the time of the passing of the Reform Act there were but 9,800 electors in their borough, showing an in crease of nearly double since that period.—(Cheers.) It was now his duty to request that they would at once proceed to the business of the meeting—that was the election of a Member for the seat vacated by their late Member, Colonel Fox, in consequence of his having accepted the ate of Surveyor:General orher Majesty's Ordnance. G. Orion, Esq., then came forward to propose Colonel Fox as a fit and proper person for the representation of the borough, and in so doing said he was perfectly satisfied that they were all agreed as to the excellence of the observations that had been made by the return ing officer as to the vast importance of the subject that had brought them together. It was of the highest inte rest to every man who lived in the Tower Hamlets,whether he had a right to vote or not—whether it might be denied to him or not to vote in the election —it was a matter which he was sure they might congratulate them selves upon, that if a man was returned to Parlia ment, and then accepted a place under Govern ment, that he was at once returned to his constituents for them to say whether they were satisfied with his conduct, and whether they would trust them selves in his hands as their representative. —(Elear• hear.) If a man who was a Member of the House of Commons wished to get a situation of responsibility under Government, he was obliged to give up his place, and it was left to his constituents to say to such a one, We have done with you--(Hear, hear)—you have disgraced yourself; you have injured us, and we will have nothing more to do with .a man who, for the sake of profit or of honour, would give up his sentiments to have a situation under any Government whatever."—(Hear, hear.) But their case was totally different. In the case of the election of the Tower Ham lets they elected a gentleman to represent them in Par liament, one, who because he would not truckle—who, because be would not change his sentiments—who, be cause he stood firm to that party and to those senti ments with which he had introduced himself to the electors of the Tower Hamlets, lost his situation, and had to retire into private life ; and it was only upon the return of his friends and his associates, and the men bearing his principles into power, that he consented again to serve his country by serving under the Government. —(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Offor) was sure they never wished to see offices tilled by men that were unworthy their trust ; they would not wish to see offices under Government filled by men who would truckle to any Administration. Their lesire was to see them filled by honest and virtuous men, men who would do their duty to their country at large mill to their constituents. They wished to see such men placed in offices of trust, and however people might talk —and generally speaking those who did so talk had but very little information upon the subject—( Hear, hear) — however they might talk of not having placemen to re present them, he should be glad indeed to find every placeman to be equal in honour, integrity, and worth, and who possessed the esteem of all who knew him, as did the lion. Colonel who had represented them, and who, he hoped, would be again rettirned in triumph.— (Cheers.) He (Mr. Offor) had much pleasure in again introducing that Hon. Gentleman to their notice, and especially so when he knew that the Hon. Colonel was a man who was above all change, unless it were such a change as was required for the interests of the nation at large, and then he came forward to tell them in an honest and straightforward way, and left them to draw their own conclusions.—(Cheers.) Since he had the pleasure of meeting them upon a similar occasion wonderful changes had taken place with regard to the aspect of affairs in this country. The Whig Administration, torn as they were and rent by internal divisions, and continually harassed by their political opponents, were obliged to give up their situation, and then those who took their offices also took their measures, and the credit of having intro duced and passed them.—(Cheers.) They had originally introduced that most important of all measures, viz., that they should have cheap bread — (Cheers)—and he hoped that they would all now have a plen tiful supply of it, and that they would now return Colonel Fox, who had supported the late Government in their efforts to bring food to the people.—(Cheers.) Let them by doing so reward him for the manly manner in which he had supported the p a m e n tl i e g t i h r t the operation liberal party in the House of Commons, for having voted t that a l t ut i v i e n r t o o r tal l m s e o di s a p te eak an — d a lr b . ol V iti i o ll n ier o s f 's th m o o se tio la n r, s; speak— (Cheers.)—and hPeerrosv.i)d—enacned, ifw h h ic e h ( Pr i e r. ven Cl te ll d .')r/ the proper supply of food, and created scarcity throughout these realms. —(Cheers.) But there had also been some other most important alterations.—[Some conf us i on was h ere created by a person in the crowd attempting to speak. when Mr. Offor said, I hope every man will have an opportunity of speaking fairly and f ree l y. ]—(Ch eers. ) There had then (said M r. Offor in resuming) been some most important alterations . Thu Whig Govern ment, from dire necessity, left the treasury empty, and the Government almost bankrupt. The Tory Government had now a great taxation, from which they had relieved the poor at last, and righteously placed the puolic burdens upon the shoulders of the rich.—(Cheers.) - I3y these means, he repeated, they bad filled the national treasury again, and had thus enabled the Whig Adroinistration to go, with all the advantages of a full treasury, again to conduct the Government. (Hear, hear.) Now no man, perhaps, should be more opposed to the in come-tax than himself, because he had to pay such a heavy income-tax, and his family was very large ; Sir Robert Peel, however, he now greatly esteemed, although he did not at one time.—(Cheers and laughter.) He had ten children, and his share of the public burdens was very heavy; but Sir Robert Peel and those who had supported him had been the means of obtaining cheap food for his family, and he had thus in a great measure been compensated.—(Cheers.) He could now purchase sugar at 51 instead of Bd.-- (Hear, hear)—and he, in conjunction with his children, were now the better enabled to obtain the sweets of life.—(Laugh ter.) The speaker then dilated on the benefits which the electors and the nation at large would reap from the proposed scheme of' public education, and e as loudly cheered. Col. Fox, he said, was an ardent supporter of that measure, and therefore well entitled to their support. Another great question was religious freedom-- there should be perfect freedom in matters regarding reli gious feelings and religious principles. Whether a man were a Mehometan, or a Jew, or a Christian, he should be equally estimable in proportion as he was a good citizen, and a good subject to the Queen, and a valuable man in the state, and there should be no differ ence made of one kind or other. They should all stand upon a perfect equality, and the state should respect them all in proportion to the goodness of their minds.—(At this moment considerable confusion was caused in conse quence of some portions cf the fragile and temporary erec tion having given way, and depositing its superincumbent load upon the ground.) He was sorry for the little mishap that had happened. He hoped that the time was not far distant when they should have a good Town-hall, where they could meet for the transaction of the business connected with the boroush, and not be compelled to meet in the open air, though, thank Providence, they met under favourable circum stances.—(A voice, " No thanks to you. It's a fine day.") He proposed, therefore, that for the rest of the session they should plate in the hands of Colonel Fox that trust which, in consequence of his appointment to a high official station, he had been compelled to re sign, and that he, in conjunction with Sir W. Clay, should be enabled at the next general election to come before them and give a favourable account of their stew ardship, and that he would then be able to satisfy his constituents, however they might have differed with him upon smaller points— on the May nooth question, or upon subjects, which they did not understand so well as Members of Parliament, in conse quence of their having fuller information on the subject than they could possibly have. But, taking them as a whole, and judging of them as a whole, he thought they were entitled to their fullest confidence ; and that they were entitled to their support, as persons who would not deceive them, or betray that trust ; and he challenged any man present to say that the Hon. Member had not fulfilled all the pledges he had made when first elected. He had faithfully attended to all the interests of that great and important borough. He called upon the electors to recollect that they had to use their suffrage not only for themselves, but on behalf of those who had no vote, but who should have. The Gallant Colonel,whom they wore called upon to re elect, was not only to be returned as a Member to represent the interests of the 'rower Hamlets and attend to their interests—he was also to consider what would be conducive to the interests of the whole kingdom. There had been no dissimula tion, no truckling, on the part of the Hon. Member, in his Parliamentary career—he had always been ready to do his best for the interests of the borough—he had always attended to the requests of the elec tors.—(llear, hear.) He did not mean that he had obtained situations or places for every person who might have asked him, he meant that ho had always attended to their requests upon points connected with the good of the Tower Hamlets, and had always ma naged their Bills. In conclusion, he thanked them for the kind attention they had given him, and proposed to nominate Colonel Charles Richard Fox as a fit and proper person to represent the interests in Parliament of the borough of the Tower Hamlets. Mr. MARTINEAU, in seconding the nomination of the Gallant Colonel, said, the great question for the electors to consider was, whether Colonel Fox, by his general con duct in Parliament and his particular votes there, had redeemed those public professions which he made on the hustings, when he was elected in July, 1841. For his part he thought he had; and if the electors agreed with him in that opinion, it became their duty to re-elect him. Among Colonel Fox's votes in Parliament there was one to which he would particularly call their attention; that was when the Colonel, iu the spring of 1843, nobly came forward, and left the party with which he had been associated, to support Mr. 'Villiers when he made his motion for the abolition of the corn-laws That was not very easy at that time when Mr. Villiers had but few supporters ; for he had not then the sup port of a majority of the House, as was his lot at a subsequent period. That was much for the Colonel to do so soon after his election. He (Mr. Martineau) gave thanks to the Government, thanks to the Anti-Corn-law League, and thanks to Richard Cobden, for those exer tions by which the question of the abolition of the corn laws had been successfully carried. That he thought was the, first great public question which had been carried out of the Houses. Parliament only came in the second rank, and carried what the people wished and willed to have. Standing where he did, however, he could not but lament that the electors had not the assistance of a worthy man, he meant Mr. William Coates. That gentleman was ever ready to assist on every question, but particularly for the abolition of the corn-laws. That subject used to be his great hobby, and the electors might well lament that he had been taken away from amongst them but a few months before the triumph. It was easy, he said, to be a free• trader in these days, but it was by no means so six years ago. He remembered well that night in May, 1841, when Lord John Russell was outvoted on the question of the corn laws; he tNIr. Martineau) was under the gangway, and he recollected seeing Lord John rising like a lion, and telling his opponents that he knew those who were op posed to him. He well knew who would vote against him, headed by their presidents and vice-presidents, their secretaries and under-secretaries, the landed inte rest, the sugar interest, the shipping interest, the Canada interest—he told them they might be too much for him, and turn him out, but he prophecied that free-trade principles would be triumphant, and the abolition of the corn laws would be gradually corn pleted—that it must and should be carried. Lord John in that showed he was a true prophet; but he failed to prophecy that the leader of the protectionists (Sir R. Peel) would within five years eat his own words, discard his own opinions, abandon his own principles, and come down as the Commissioner of the Queen, and say that the abolition of the corn-laws was founded in true policy and justice. He said the corn-laws would soon be completely abolished, and their business now was to carry out those free-trade principles in regard to the articles which fo►med the weekly expensd of the lat)ouring man, and they could not do so better than by re-electing Colonel Fox, who, as connected with the Go vernment, had the power equally as the will to assist them. He cordially seconded the nomination of Col. Fox as the representative of the borough. The RETURNING OFFICER then requested to know whether there was any other candidate to be nominated? Mr. Box (a parish schoolmaster) said there was.— (Hisses.) He had been told by the returning officer that they had met on that day to discharge a most important duty, and he heartily con curred in that observation, for its importance would not be confined to that borough, but would extend through out the whole country, and to every part of the world. where the dominion of England prevailed. He should take care not to trespass on their time at any length ; and if the Gallant Colonel should answer the ques tions he was about to put to him in such a manner as he would deem satisfactory, he would with hold the nomination which he had threatened. (Laughter.) lie had two questions to put ; there would have been a third, were it not for the settlement of the corn question, but much yet remained to be done. With regard to free trade, however, he considered that the Gallant Colonel came up to his mark upon the question of free-trade.—(Laughter.) There were two other points which he conceived to be of vast import ance; and the questions he wished to put were with reference to them. He desired to know whether Col. Fox was ready to use his influence, as a Member of the Legislature, in order to obtain a complete suffrage for the people ?—(Hear, hear, and confusion.) The other question he would wish to put was, whether he was prepared to advocate and promote a total severance between civil and ecclesiastical affairs?—(Hear.) It was his desire that the question known as the Anti-State Church question, should be agitated until it would wet tile same fate as that of the corn-laws.—(Hear, Colonel Fox—l beg most distinctly to let it be under stood that I will give no pledge whatever relative to these subjects. I declared my principles in 1841, and it is for you to say if I have swerved fr, m them.—((fear, hear, and cheering.) But as to giving any particular or individual pledge, that I cannot do, and I would sooner resign the honour of representing you than so bind myself. —(11e - .r, bear.) As to the question of universal suffrage, I will observe that I am not prepared to say that I will not sup port a gradual extension of the suffrage, the subject goes hand in hand with education, and I for one would be very glad to see the people fitted to hold such a power by the blessings of education—(Hear, hear)—and with reference to the other question put to me, I can give no pledge whatever. I am a friend to religious liberty in its fullest extent, but it would be exceedingly improper in me to give a pledge upon the subject, especially when I am aware that the greater portion of my fellow-countrymen bold opinions adverse to those of the last speaker.—(Cheers.) Mr. Box did not wish to be troublesome. Mr. CHILDS, the returning officer, then put the matter to the vote, and after the show of hands, declared Charlts Richard Fox, Esq., to be the representative of the Tower Hamlets. Colonel Fox, in presenting himself to the electors, felt great diffidence in replying to the several ob servations which had been addressed to him ; but in doing so be felt bound to acknowledge the courtesy which had been shown to him on the pre sent occasion, and especially to his friend Mr. Offer. He had for five years represented them in Parliament, and during that time he was not aware that there had been any cause for forfeiting the good opinion which the people bad expressed ne on his last election. Ile could well echo the opinions of his friend Mr. Offor, and state that he had the oppor tunity of withdrawing any of his opinions on the corn laws, but this he could not do, for he had uniformly advocated the principles of free intercourse of the people of different countries. During the last five years such had been his policy, and such was the policy which he determined to observe. Thus, then, with regard to the important measure of the corn-laws, there were other considerations to be taken into account. With regard to the corn-laws, he was happy that any measure had been propounded which was likely to bring bread cheaper to the poor man's house. He rejoiced that the Ministers lately in power had been sufficiently ready to carry their measures. With respect to the corn laws, he should observe that nothing more could possibly have arisen to confirm the opinion which he had always entertained towards the measures of those who were, until now, her Majesty's Ministers. He believed them to be most important measures, and such as should be received with all respect. He would not talk much of the speech of his Hon. Friend, but there was one point to which he was bound to allude, and that was the effect likely to be wrought on the commercial policy of the country by the repeal of the corn-laws. On this subject he had few observations to offer, but the bulk of them might he comprised in the assertion that their repeal would be of infinite benefit to the community at large. With respect to the grant to Maynooth College, all he had to say was, that on all subjects there ought to be a libe rality of feeling, and of course the greatest liberality was to be expected on the question of religion ; and certainly, in the assertion of their just rights, the Roman Catholics would have his support. Had his feelings, indeed, been consulted, this relief would have been grants d long ago. But he did not doubt but that the House of Commons would soon recognise their claims, and that the relief sought would be effectually afforded. With respect to the poor-laws, he was quite ready to give in his adhesion to the assertion that they were necessary for the general wel fare. If they could be modified so as to meet the com mon objects of society ell the better, but this he did not anticipate. He only locked fur a modification of the system at present. With respect to the subject of edu cation, he was bound to say that it would obtain his warmest support ; but yet he did hope that, in under taking it, the Government would have a special refe rence to the condition of the people. With respect to universal suffrage, he must frankly declare that he was not at present prepared to go its whole length. The richer and more intelligent classes had already their opportunities, and his impression was that at the present moment the extension of the suffrage would be of no benefit whatever. There was another subject of very great importance, to which he had not as yet alluded— that was the health of Towns Commission, which is proposed for limiting the erection of buildings which shall have the effect of preventing the free action of the air around the dwellings of the poor. Then there was the question of the sewerage of that extensive dis trict. In considering the position of the several parties thus engaged, they must not forget those for whom their support had been solicited, and, in remembering this, they would also remember that there was a reason alleged for their support of a principle which is inherent in the constitution, and for which no men had struggled more strenuously than themselves. He trusted he had answered every question which had been put to him; he thought he had, but if not he should be glad to meet the inquiries of any gentleman who might be dissatisfied with his Parliamentary conduct.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. HORTON thought the explanation of their candidate was quite satisfactory, but yet he thought that the constituency ought to be satisfied on some points, especially those that had reference to civil and religious liberty. There was nothing comparable to this, and when he recollected that the confines of this borough included the number of 68,000 souls, and that the parish had only 38,000, he considered 'the evidence to be conclusive of the course which ought to be pursued by all parties. The sugar duties were now engaging the whole world, and the sooner this question was settled the better.—(Hear.) They might think they were getting sugar for sd. a pound, but he was a grocer himself, and could tell them a different tale.—(A laugh.) After some further observations deprecating delay in the pass ing of other measures of a similar nature and of the terms Whig and Tory, the speaker concluded by asking the Hon. Member (Colonel Fox) whether he would ad vocate the abolition of church-rates. Colonel Fox said, that though advised not to answer the question, he would do so. He would give his as sistance, without pledging himself to any specific mea sure, to the removal of any unjust restrictions in this particular.—(Cheers.) Colonel Fox proposed a vote of thanks to the return ing officer, which was seconded by Mr. OFFOR, and acknowledged by Mr. Child. The meeting then separated. HERTFORD ELECTION. RETURN OF THE HON. MR. COWPER. The election of a Member for the borough of Hertford, to fill the seat vacated by the lion. Mr. Cowper, he having ac cepted the office of one of the Lords of the Admiralty under the new Administration, took place on Saturday, in the Town-hall of Hertford, at the unusual hour of eight o'clock There was no opposition, and the same Hon. Gentleman passed through the ordeal of a re-election in the customary manner. The MAYOR (Joseph Lawrence, Esq.) presided on the occa sion, and stated that he had called the electors to g ether earlier than usual, because be was anxions that there should be no obstruction to the business of the assizes, which they were aware was carried on in the hall they were occupying. He need not remind them that the Hon. Mr. Cow per, having accepted the office of one of the Lords of the Admiralty, had ceased to become their represen tative in the House of Commons, and they had met together to elect another Member. He trusted their proceedings would be characteri,,ed :with their former propriety and decorum, and having said thus much, it cnly remained for him to ask any elector if he had any candidate to nominate. Mr. MANsEtt then stepped forward, and in a short address proposed the Hon. Mr. Cowper, who, he said, had always sup ported their interests and the interests of the borough, and had never betrayed the trust which his brother electors had on four successive occasions reposed in him.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. J. J. GnirrEn seconded the nomination, and in doing so said he concurred in what had fallen from the gentleman who preceded him. The MAYO& asked if there was any elector present who had any other candidate to propose? No answer being given to this inquiry, the Mayor put the motion to the vote, and it was carried without a single hand being held up against it. The MAYOR then declared that the Right Hon. William Cowper had been duly elected to serve as the representative of the borough of Hertford in the House of Commons. The Right Hon. GENTLEMAN then stepped forward, but the slight applause which greeted him was restrained by the Mayor who remarked that the judges were under the same roof, and it would therefore be better that thershould refrain from cheering.—(hear, hear.) Mr. COWPER said this was the fifth time the electors had done him the honour of returning him for their representative in Parliament, and he must con fess, that while he felt •deeply grateful for the con fidence they had sQlong reposed in his integrity and conduct, he was- rin iess - nnsrtlrtrine magnitude and importance of the task he was again undertaking.—( Hear.) lie would,never theless, assure them that they need be under no apprehension that his being in office under Lord J. Russell's Administration would make him the less watchful of their interests in the House of Commons, for he was convinced his character of servant to her Majesty was in no way incompatible with that of a representative of the people.—(Hear, hear.) Ho must now congratulate them upon the triumph of those liberal principles for which they and the constituencies of England had been so long struggling.— (Hear, hear.) It was a great victory on the part of the people over monopoly, and he for one looked upon it as the commencement of a liberal and enlightened policy, which would result in still greater triumphs, and tend still further to advance the happiness, prosperity, and welfare, not only of this nation, but of the whole world.—(hear, hear.) He was sensible of the fact that his vote upon the May nooth question bad given offence tome few of his consti tuents, but he was conviectd if !lie*ho were dissapSfied with his vote would examine, 'calnify and dispassionately, the Christi'an spirit in which that measure of conces sion was dictated,, they,. Would find in the end that he had acted for ' the best in supporting the Maynooth Bill.—(Heir, hear.) Again thanking them for the honour they had done him, he had only to add that he hoped they would mwer have cause to regret the confidence they had reposed iu him.—(Cheers.) A vote of thanks was - carried - to the Chairman, and the pro ceedings, which occupied little more than half an hour, ter minated. [We beg to return our sincere thanks to Mr. Rooney and the authorities of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, for the facilities which they afforded to our reporters in getting to and from Hertford ; and for their kindness in offering to send up the report, slip by slip, per electric telegraph, an offer of which we did not avail ourselves, as there was ample time to express up the report. Had there been a contest, however, or had the proceed. ings been continued to a late hour. we should have gladly availed ourselves of this kind offer, for which we again tender them our sincere thanks.—En.

His GRACE THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND THU DISTRESSED NEEDLEWO3I EN.— On Friday Mr. Roper, secre tary to the Society for the Protection of' Distressed Needle women, waited upon Mr. Norton, at Lambeth Police-court, to obtain the address of the unfortunate female who had been charged before him on Wednesday last with unlaw fully pawn;no• ' some coats which had been ent rus t e d t c her to make by a slopseller in Aldgate, who allowed her only a shilling apiece for making them, Mr. Roper said his object in getting the address of the female Craig, whose case appeared in the newspapers, was for the pur pose of making the necessary inquiries into the whole of the circumstances connected with it, with the view of affording all the protection and assistance on the part of the Society that could be found justifiable. After some conversation with the magistrate, Mr. Roper stated that in the course of his inquiries he had found that soldiers' great coats were made up at as low a price as five pence a-piece. Feeling that this was too low, particularly for Government contracts, he wrote to his Grace the Duke of Wellington, as being at The head of the army, on the subject., but his Grace declined to interfere. Mr. Norton—What was the purport of the Duke's answer? Mr. Roper—lt was in hie Grace's usual laconic terms, and ran thus :—" F. M. the Duke of Wellington begs to inform Mr. Roper that he has nothing to do with making great coats for the army." Mr. Roper added that he had made a communication to Sir James Graham on the subject of making up slop and needlework its prison, and the Right Hon. Gentleman had assured him it should be discontinued.
