Middlesex, at least, has shown itself grateful, and in doing so, has vindicated in a most brilliant manner the glorious principle of religious toleration. After the extraordinary triumph achieved yesterday by the supporters of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, the whole of the metropolitan constituencies may congratulate themselves upon the reflection, that while elsewhere, in the course of the present elections of 18.f.d, the in terests of reform have been shamelessly a b an doned, at their hands, at any ra t e , th ey h ave o bt a i n ed a recep tion worthy of a free country and of an enlightened generation. Th e Ci ty i tself having secu r e d the services of thr ee R e f ormers an d o f a Liberal Conservative, the surrounding boroughs have emulat e d eac h o th er in sending Whig or Ra dical r epresentatives to the newParliarnent. If at Lambeth m so the m er it s of Mr. D yNcoURT were for gottenevihat cruelly, that veteran pclitician was replaced by sympathies like a man of comprehensive H sy am m Mr. WILKINSON. If in the Tower ale quenee of Mr. Tuomr.o3N was for once ungenes rously dteTpised, there was in his stead elected by hie formerl admirlsr3 a candidate as independent as Mr. Btere At Finsbury, the vacancy caused by the retirement L of Mr. WAKLE Y was fined up - of by the selection a Free-trader as liberal in his sentiments as Alder furl CHALLIS. In lieu again of Alderman Hum rnoty, the electors of Seuthvvark chose for their n , w Member a no less undoubted Liberal than Mr, PELT AT I', as the colleague of Sir WILLIAM MOLE 9.. WORT IT. Maryiebone, satisfied with th e men by whom the constituency had been hitherto of late re preient,,i in the Howe of Commons, resolved unaei motHy to return the ex-Membir4 without their incurritee eitih-r expens:t or opposition. In West muster matters were not so readily or s;Aisthctorily arranged, but sfill, ultimately, in West m i nster also, the conduct of the Liberal voters was such as to elicit our warmest expressions o f felicitation. As its representatires, there were se . lected two Liberal Baronets, who are not merely devoted Free-traders, but thorough Reformers into the bargain—their triumph being secured, moreover, on ly after a fierce and sustained struggle against Nris4OUnt au.DATOix as the Ministeri2l candidate. 1 astidlc"lrY) h°1"1"3.1 t ' ll cilth each" and an of tikbe I SIIN, metropolitan contests have been, the most remarkable amongst them is surpassed in interest, as well as in importance, by the contest for the metropolitan county—terminating yesterday with the re turn of both the Liberal ex - reprelentcives, the principal source of delight in the victory being the total defeat by Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE of the Derbyite Marquis of BLANDFORD. There is something more in this, as we have already intimated, than the success of a man, or even the advancement of a party—there is the recognition of a great prin ciple by the most influential constituency in the United Kingdom, and that great principle the prin ciple of Religious T o l erat i on. The struggle, whi c h c l osed thus happ ily yester day afternoon, had narrowed itself at last to a con test between the advocates of religious freedom and the champions of sectarian bigotry. It is in this respect that we regard the re-acceptance of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE by the people of Middlesex as a cause for earnest gratulation, infinitely more than for the circumstance of the defeat of Lord BLANDFORD being another feather in the cap of the Opposition. Tce advantage gained by the gallant, free. sc oke n , l arge -hearted BE ZNAL OSB ORNL i s an advantage not so much over the general character as it is over the Orange-fanaticism of a cer tain section of her MAJESTY'S Government. By choosing BERNAL OSBORNE instead of the Marquis of BLANDFORD, the electors of Middlesex have not only scouted the hypocrisy of a Mmisty, which enters office upon one principle and retains it upon another, they have protested with noble and conspicuous in dependence against that red-hot No-Popery agitation which led to a riot in Stockport, and very nearly to an insurrection in Liverpool. The effect of the course pursued in the first instance by Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, and afterwards by the electors of Middlesex, cannot, we believe, in this respect, be lost upon the cooler and calmer judgment o f the population. When the excitement very natur ally produ ce d b y th e content i ons arising ant o f the general election bas sub sided, the significance of the decision thus pronounced by the metropolitan county will be more clearly recognised and appreciated by the ge neral community. It will then be perceived that the result of the polling on Tuesday, the 19th, and on Wednesday, the 20th of July, was evidence that the majority of the county voters of Middlesex, after electing one Liberal candidate, in the person of Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR, elected a second in the person of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE—because the con stituency were grateful for the eminent services per formed by the latter as their representative, because they admired the consistency of his unflinching inde pendence, because they liked the keenness of his slashing and trenchant rhetoric, because they con sidered him as one of those few Members who could ill be spared from the deliberations of the popular branch of the Legislature, because they regarded him as at once a goad to the Govern ment and a spur to the Opposition, but especially be cause they saw in him an embodiment of the two principles to the maintenance of which the English people are at heart, we believe, entirely devoted —the divine and venerable principles of civil liberty and religious toleration. A tradesman of the city of London has rendered, and is rendering, more important service to the cause of agricultural improvements than the wealthiest squire or most extensive farmer in the kingdom. Mr. MEcHI, of Leadenhall-street, has undertaken the task of proving to the owners and occupiers of the soil that they are not absolutely ruined, but that they may still earn their own bread without taxing that of their neighbours—that they may have abund ance for themselves, without compelling their fellow subjects to endure privations, arising from a scarcity of food even of the simplest description. It was a thankless and unpopular office. Nothing was more soothing to the bucolic mind than the notion that the farmers were innocent victims, ruthlessly sacrificed on the altar of free trade. They would not, if they could, be saved. It consequently required no ordi nary degree of hardihood to run counter to their prejudices, more especially when the daring innovator had not been an agriculturist sib initio, cultivating the soil in the mode which his father and grandfather had pursued, and observing similar rules of rotation of crops, manuring, feeding, &c., to those transmitted by his venerable progenitors. A retired tradesman might become a farmer, but he was expected to be a prey to hi: servants and a laughing-stuck to his neighbours. If he could afford " to pay for his whistle" he might do so , but the idea of his becoming a public instructor (!), of teach of the vicinity h ow t h e i r lands iug th e occup i ers would be cultivated (!), of pointing out errors in their and farming rendered profit rnanugernent and showing how great savings might be effected (! !), able (I !), why the thing would be . too ridiculous to so would be a on the part of a man who still be seriously thought of', and, a fort i ori, similar attempt retained a connexion with "the shop," an d devoted a considerable portion of his time and attention to trade transactions. Mr. MECIII, however, was not discouraged by these difficulties. He believed that the farmers were mis taken, that they had been to a certain extent spoiled b y a l ong course of monopoly, and that all that was required was that their eyes should be opened to the real extent of their resources, aad to show them what could be accomplished by zeal, activity, skill, and enterprise. He felt that the same qualities which had enabled him to succeed in trade, and to acquire a handsome independence thereat, would likewise succeed in agricultural pursuits. Capital was required, but that he had, and ha felt that he could not employ it more beneficially than in such a cause. He accordingly, in a true spirit of patriotism, devoted himself to the task, and boldly entered on his new sphere of duties, in cultivating what should be to all intents and purposes a model farm, not merely for the parish or district in which he resided, but for all England. In order to accomplish this great desideratum it was necessary to obtain publicity, to have the attention of agriculturists directed to him self and his proceedings, that they might know how far the latter were worthy of imitation, and see whether they would follow in the path on which " the strop maker of Leadenhall street" (as he was first termed in derision) had en tered. general i For thi s purpose h e offered his farm account', as well as his f arm i tse lf , for accuratel nspecti on, . e a d ' s i . e that the results might not only be y ascert a ined, he the exact c o st thereof to the v er y f arthing every description w h very best machine r y o f ntroduced, the pric e o f eac h article w as clearly set forth, together with the saving, whether of labour or otherwise, which it was calcu- Wpasri.roent affording a fair promise of useful results h a ba a ll einusly tested. In some cases, of course, enco unter failures, and when such was the case he submitted diminished good humour, not only to the with un ‘, Go P o e d rary loss, of cases, for as we have Stated , 2° but to the undisguised grins of the the loca li t y. But when he succeeded, and h ou e g d h • s" of the majority y ere judiciously tried, the benefit of his experience was freely bestowed upon all. The bitterest scoffer was allowed to profit by what had e in xpe th ri e m m en ai ts been achieved at hi s ex p ense. Mr. MEcui is no lo n g er lau g hed at. Those who formerly sneered at, or openly scoffed him, now l oo k on with respectful attention. They gladly partake of his hospitality, which is displayed without stint or limit a ti on, and t h ere they acknowledge that he exhibits therein the true spirit of the English farmer. There is an annual gathering, at which men of all classes attend, giving!and receiving instruction on all matters connected with the cultivation of the soil. Noble men and gentlemen of rank and station, ministers of friendly nations, menibers of scientific societies, pro fessors (,f agricultural che mistry,a g ricultural imple ment. makers, breeders o f stock' an . d others celebrated in any branch of agricult ure , mingled with sturdy yeomen, flock to Tiptree Halli assured of a cordial reception and hearty Wwell l e lcome from to part on the enterprising proprietor; and mistaken, for it is accorded, and y a h re ear n te o d t tha t Co a manner which renders those even wh for the purpose of fault-finding disposed come the best terms with their friendly and kind Part All honour, then, to Mr. MECIII, who has proved i himself a nat i onal benefactor in no nconsider sble degree, aria has eminently t wined himself THE LONDON, to the thanks and gratitude of the community. In the olden time he would have been rewarded for his exertions with public honours, he must at pre sent be contented with the approbation of his own conscience, and the esteem and respect of those who can appreciate the great services which he has ren dered to his fellow-subjects, more especially to those engaged in the cultivation of the soil. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the pa Tis journals of yesterday.

He afterwards went to the ball offered by the town, which was of a most splendid description, and danced with one of the seven young v ill age g i r l s , w ho the day before, at the procession of th e p easan t s , h a d presented him with a basket of fl owers . T o eac h of these young women the PRINCE had ordered a jewel of value to be presented from him as a remembrance, and to the one who had spoken a short compliment to him on that occasion, he now did the honour of making her his partner in a quadrille. The PRINCE withdrew at eleven o'clock, but dancing was kept up with spirit for several hours later. The PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic has con ferred the cross of Commander of the Legion of Honour on Count DE SEGUR, president of the board of direct o r s ; th e cross o f Officer on M. VUIGNER, engineer in chief of the c o mpany ; Chevalier on M. L EMOINNR , engineer, wh o drove the M.

HALLOPEAU, chief of the working of the line. We find the following in the Debats : "We are assured that soon after his return from Strasburg the Prince President will make a slight modi fication in his Ministry. M. Drouyn de Lhuys, Vice President of the Senate, will, it is said, be named Mi nister of Foreign Affairs; M. Turgot will become Mi nister of State; M. Magne will be named Minister of Public Works in the room of M. Lefebvre-Durufli; M, de Casablanca will be President of the Section of Public Works at the Council of State in the room of M, Magne, and M. Lefebvre-Durufle, will be made a mem ber of the Senate." The Algiers journals announce that the expedi tion of General MONTAUBA.N on the frontiers of Morocco had terminated, and been crowned with complete success. The hostile tribes had made their submission after soliciting the mediation of the EMPEROR in the hope of obtaining better terms. The Coistitutionnel has an article on railroads, in which it recommends, now that the great lines are nearly completed, that the secondary lines shall be undertaken, but with grea t regard to economy, in order that with a comparatively small amount of capital this mode of communication in France may become general. The Constitutionnel refers to what has taken place in other countries, to show that it is possible to construct railroads at a much lower rate per league than has been expended on the great lines in France, where enormous sums have been absorbed by stations and works of architecture, which were not absolutely necessary, but which on lines of great traffic, and likely to make large returns, were more than excusable. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 103 f. 5c., rose to 103 f. 30c., a nd closed a t 103 f. 25c. ; t he Three per Cents, closed at 72f. 45c.; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,3881. 75c.; Rouen, 920 f.; Havre, 352 f. 500.; Great Northern, 638 f. 75c.; Avignon, 467 f. 50c.; Basle, 293 f. 75c. • Paris and Strasburg, 617 f. 50c.; Paris and Lyons, 7001, 1 ; Great Western, 590 f .; L y ons and Avi g non, 577 f, 50 c , ; the New Austrian Loan, 954.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 16th have been received. It is stated that the Spanish Government has pur chased of M. SALAMANCA the railroad from Madrid to Aranjuez for GO millions of reals (15 millions of francs). M. SALAMANCA, however, is to retain the working of the line for 10 years on paying 1,500,000 reals to the Government annually during that period. M. SALAMANCA, it is added,haa deposited at the Bank of Ferdinand the 15 millions of reels required as caution money from persons tendering for the Nor thern Railroad of Spain. The Three per Cents. were done at 45f ; the New Three per Cents. at 22; the Debt of the First Class at 11i; and that of the Second at si. GERMAN Y. The two Chambers of the States of Hanover were prorogued on the 18th by Royal decree. No mention was made therein of the continuation of the proceed ings of the Commissions, nor of the re-assembling of the Parliament. At the last sitting of the First Chamber, M. 131{ENSING inquired if the Ministry could afford them any satisfactory intelligence on the Customs question, or if the Government was dis posed to make any concession. The President of the Council replied that the question was unsettled, but added that the Government would use every effort to prevent the dissolution of the Zollverein and a disunion in Germany, which would be fatal to its prosperity. A Berlin letter in the Elberfeld Gazette, states that the King; of PRUSSIA has rejected the intervention of the Emperor of RUSSIA in the Customs question. The Bureau of Statistics of Berlin has just pub lished a table of the population of Prussia. There are 16,335,011 inhabitants, of whom 10,037,277 are Protestants, 6,063,186 Roman Catholics 14,508 Mennonites, 1,267 Greek Catholics, and 218,773 Jews. There are in Prussia 8,164 Protestant churches, with a clergy composed of 6,139 persons, or one church for every 1,223 Protestant inhabitants, and one ecclesiastic for every 1,623. The number of Roman Catholic churches is 5,156, which are served by 5,605 ecclesiastics, so that ther e i s one church for every 1,167 Catholics, and one ecclesiastic for every 1,605. M.

BELGIUIII. We learn from Brussels that the King of the BEL GIANS, after his return from Wiesbaden, sent for M. LECLEECQ, Procureur-General of the Court of Cas eation, to charge him to form a Cabinet. It is pos sitively stated that M. LECLEECQ had declined the mission, and that the KING wa3 about to send for M. LEBEAL% HOLLAND. - The Ilandelsblad of Amsterdam of the 18th says— " We learn from a positive source that the Govern• ment of the United States has abandoned its project of an expedition against Japan. It has preferred in voking the mediation of the Dutch Government. We are also ensured that the Dutch Government, which in 1846 made overtures to the Emperor of JAPAN in the interest of the whole of European com merce, has accepted this mission, and we have no doubt of its using every effort to accomplish it suc cessfully."

The exports and imports of Holland for the first six months of the present year show a decided increase. The Cochineal crop:in Guatemala is represented in late accounts to have failed. The most recent Californian accounts give the follow ing statement respecting the proposed working of the silver mines of Northern Mexico:— " There sailed from this port, a few days ago, on board the American ship A rc hibald Gracie, a party of miners, chiefly foreigners, for Guaymas. We under stand that they are acting in concert with the authori ties of the State of Sov&ra, and an influential company in Mexico, composed of bankers and members of the Mex ican Congress. The object of these parties is to take possession of a district in the State of Sovara, where a rich silver mine is known to exist. This mine was first discovered in 1784 by some Spaniard 3, who extracted therefrom, within a few days, large masses of silver ore. The Viceroy of Mexico laid claim to the mine forth with in the name of the King of Spain, as being too valuable to be allowed to become the property of any private individual. The mine of Arrisons, for so this rich deposit is called, became the subject of a protracted lawsuit; first, before the Court Of Guadalaxara, the decision of which was in favour of the discoverers; then before the Council of the Indies at Madrid, which made it out to be the property of the Crown. The perturbed stat 3 of Europe, and the break ing out o f the civil war in Mexico, prevented the Crown from ever profiting by the award. The Apaches have remained since that period undisturbed masters of t h e district in which the mine of Arrisona is situated. " The object of the present expedition i. to enable the company to work the mine, by driving back the Apa c h e ,. It consists of some two hundred men, who are now on their way to t h e s p o t."

SUDDEN DEATH AT CRICKET. —Yesterday a match was commenced at Copenhagen-house, between the Albion and United Amateurs' Clubs ; but about two o'clock Mr. John Dewdney, an old and respected member of the Albion Club, in the act of making a run, suddenly fell down, and in a few minutes expired. Ile had only just taken the bat, scoring one for his first hit, so that it is quite evident that the fatal result was not the effect of fatigue. Medical assist. ante was obtained instantly, but the vital spark had fled. The deceased co mplained of ill health, and said that during the last week he had suffered from sun-stroke, but declined several friends.
