Bribery is already in too many instances the charge directed by the unsuccessful against t successful candidaties recently e l ec t e d as represen he tatives. Petitions are, in all directions, in active preparation. The Oppos on is in this manner scarcely less frequently accused than the Government. Deifeated first at the hustings, and afterwards at the p oiling booths, Hon. Gentlemen appear to be deter mined to allow their triumphant antagonists but little time for exultation, and but small chance of en j oy i n g the sweets of tranquillity. Considering the remarkable facility afforded to the chptious for directing against their f.r means for 'the imputation of having employed un the circ ums t ances the purpose of obtaini ng her e a ll u d e d to cannot bat be matter for any astonish. irreet. It Can only force upon the recognition of every i mpart i a l j u dgmenf• a sense of the ahsolute aed ' imperati ve necess ity existing for the national adop. tion, of the ballot as a security against both corr up e Übe nless the ballot very tion an d intim i dation. ' sp ee d i l y accepted by the b eg " a ture as a portion, ' ?.nd a vsry essential porti on, moreover, of the representative system, but but little .. peace will he attainable by the little satisfaction secured by constitu ency , thceandulate!, and but little facility be a ff orded the leg; 3lators kr entering at once upon their duties a s f newly elec ted . I -V embers of Parliament. A considerable portion o t'n e first session in every new Rouse of Commons must be occupied in pronouncing upon the validity of the various elections petitioned against on the ground TTIE of unfairness. The accepted of pocket boroughs and 'family counties—those who are snugly returned as a matter of course by their hereditary constituencies —will have to sit in Committee in the Legislative Pslace at Westminster, to take into cons . deration the farce and value of toe charges preferred against the crowd of unfortunates who happen to have been placed in other localities at the head of the poll after some severely-contested struggle with the candidates brought forward against them by their political an tagonists. All this, we repeat, will prove inevitable with the present state of the law in reference to elections—unless the difficulty of the position be obviated by the speedy acceptance of the ballot by the Imperial Legislature. The illustrations recently furnished of the accuracy of the foregoing statements are unhappily too nume rous to re quire their being sp ec ifi e d individually . After a-couple of months have elapsed the new Par liament will assemble, according to Ministerial promise, for the purpose of being inaugurated by a brief session—when it will very speedily appea r bow many of the members rec en tly returned are accused by their unsuccessful opponents of having employed bribery as the means for elevating themselves into the lower branch of the Legislature. Several of the petitions here referred to, as a lready prepare d and in active cours e o f p re p a ration, are, it mu st be confessed, on the very face of each as imperatively demanded in the name of justice as others are shamefully un justifiable, being traceable only to party spleen and private animosity. That matters should have become thus confused i n several places durin g the course of the recent elections can sca rcel y be matter of surprise when it is remembered how much has been at stake between the belligerents, between the candidates of the Government and the candidates of the Opposi tion. There can b e no question, for ex ample , that is perfectly correct in its su rmise, that in su ch places our co ntemporary, the Examiner, as Dartmouth, Chatham, Devonport, Greenwich, Sandwich, Wind sor, and Rochester the influence always powerfully in favour of those who are in office has been na turally employed in behalf of the interests of the Administration. This is but precisely what might have been expected in the reverse direction, supposing the Whigs had still continued to hold in their grasp the reins of the Government. The result of the elec tions in these quarters is not so much, we repeat, to be surprised at, or to be regarded as a source of chagrin and disappointment. But feelings of that poignant description cannot but be aroused, on the other hand, when it is observed that seats have been here and there gained, it is to be feared, by in dividnal efforts somewhat unjustifiable in their character. Yet, that these efforts should some times have been adventured upon was only what might rationally have been expected at a time when party passions had become so very painfully and, in occasional instances, so very manifestly exacerbated. How far this irritation became apparent in the course of the electioneering movement may be indi cated by allusion to such incidents as those in which from one hustings the ATTORNEY-GENERAL exclaimed that he wished the cheap loaf had stuck in the throat of one of his free-trade interruptors, and in whicb, from another hustings, the SECRETARY at WAAt addressed the assembled multitude as the vilest rabble he had ever seen, and one that he, in conse quence, most heartily despised ! It would have been well for the credit of both can didates and constituencies if all the contested elec tions throughout the United Kingdom had resem bled the contested election that took place in the borough of Lancaster. There the struggle which took place between the rival candidates could scarcely have been more energetic in its character. Yet, although such was the case from first to last, the gentlemanly bearing of those who were principally engaged in the contest appears to have been not for a single instant interrupted. The two Liberals, Mr. SAMUEL GREGSON and Mr. BAYNES ARMSTRONG, were returned, in lieu of the Derbyite Mr. JoHN Eua,s and of the Peelite Mr. Tunas GREENE, thereby securing a gain of one, in that quarter, to the cause of her MAJESTY'S Opposition. Yet, al though the analysis of the votes at Lan caster reveals the excitement provoked among all parties in the course of the polling-227 votes being divided between Exxis and GREENE, 52 be tween ELLis and GREGSON, and 60 between Exaas and ARMSTRONG, while 13 plumpers were given for GREGSON, 56 for GREENE, no less tban.74 for Enms, and as many as 81 for ARMSTRONG—the good feel ing was preserved up to the last moment among all the individuals interested in the agitation. This honourable circumstance we regard as mainly, if not exclusively, attributable to the gal lant bearing of the defeated candidates— but more particularly to the gentlemanly and straightforward course pursued by Mr. JOHN ELLts, both towards the local possessors of the fran• chise generally, and to the two newly-elected repre sentatives. While we rejoice in the triumph of Mr. GREGSON and of his colleague, Mr. ARMSTRONG) we cannot but lament that a Peelite, such as Mr.' GREENE, formerly the respected chairman of the House of Commons, should have been altogether, a t present, deprived o f the opportunity of entering again within the walls of the Legislature ; while we cannot but consider the defeat of Mr. JOHN ELIO, formerly , • M P• for the borough of Newry, a matter o. regret c to the Free-traders in the House, while it must necessarily be felt as a severe loss to the supporters of her MAJESTY'S Govern ment. Fortunately a variety of opportunities will soon be afforded once more to the electors, by availing themselves of which the " pick " of the defeated candidates on both sides may still be re turned to the new Parliament. Under these cir cumstances we should rejoice to witness the return by some Radical constituency of a distinguished Reformer like Colonel PEYRON• NET THOMPSON, and of an eloquent and ener getic Free-trader like Mr. JOHN alas by some constituency devoted to the cause of the Derby Government—upon the same understanding that the country i s now l oo ki n g forward to the return f or King's County of Mr. JOHN REYNOLDS, the rejected °L., t, f Dublin, and to the return for Ayrshire of Mr. .e..nwA ß n CARDWELL, the rejected of LiVerpool. Relieving officers, and other parochial authorities, do not appear full , Yto understand the responsibilities attached to their s ituations. In many instances they act as if th e i r only a -11 tY was to repel every claimant on the fu n d s , and to disregard the most urgent cases. If the unfort unate applicant be reduced to the utmost 14 extremity of destitution, , is rudely turned from the door—if he de c l are that he must die if relief be much longer withheld, there is always one at hand re ady to " dar e t h e rascal to might, howev er , prove a more inconvenient Flo it.,, Such a o d e e c a u th rrence than the " porochal" philosopher imagined, w h en exercising his wit on th e o b stinate pauper.

I looking woman, Yesterday morning up at the West- a miserab e with her t wo children, was brought ---` high minister Police -court charged with thecrime and misdem eanor of being destitute (4 , • r •/ i) It ap peared that th e m i serable creature had on the pre- ceding evening a p p li e d at the station-house, stating that she was extremely ill and destitute, having eaten nothing that day, and but little for several days previously. Mr. SIMONS, the inspector on duty, who acted throughout in an exceedingly creditable manner, ascertaining from his personal observation that she was suffering from illness and exhaustion, sent with her to the workhouse of the united parishes of St. Margaret and St. John, Westminster, a police constable, who mentioned all the circumstances 'of the case to the porter. The latter functionary co ,_ municated with some person in the interior of the bu:lding, but on his return positively refused to re. ceiv eher, or even to supply a small portion of bread for Ler starving children. The inspecf or, therefore, gave the miserable• famil y the food and other refresh meats which were most urgently required, and S brought the wietched example of workhouse libe rality before the court in the morning. On being interrogated, the poor creature stated that she had received an allowance of 2s. 6d. per week from the prish, which was not sufficient to supply the wants of her family, and that she had been wan dering about night after night for the last fortnight, sleeping under trees or any casual shelter she could obtain. The master of the workhouse was then sent for, and the usual class of answers was returned. The woman was a bad character—a drunkard and dissipated all her means (23. 6d. per week, for food and lodging, to say nothing of clothing or nate the s bides m ohr morning nd i gs f washing I! I) in that s he r h w a e d e k applied etyo was t he r due,e li evi g I - t o w ffi w a a c s e y r ' s l t h i of the relieving-officer, and she might have applied to him on unquestionably, but what would have been the result ? We might " Call spirits from the vasty deep, but will they come?" and we fancy th a t th e ca ll wou ld b e near l y as fruit less in one case as in the other. What, ask the re lieving-officer to advance the money two days before it was due ! We can easily imagine the nature of the response that would be returned. Not Orxvnu TWIST's request for more would occasion greater horror and astonishment than the application for money before it was due ! and then as to the allowance being due that morning, what would be the use of tbat if she had perished with her children during the pre ceding night, as she might have done but for the humanity of Inspector Simons! The " worthy" magistrate, and in this instance we use the well-merited term with sincere pleasure, ad ministered a strong rebuke to the officials. He said," that admitting the master's statement of drunkenness to be correct, poor-law relief, in cases of urgent dis-, tress, was not to be withheld on questions of charac ter. This poor woman was found destitute and ex hausted, without a place to lay her bead. her the requisite grea t neglect on the part o f so mebody. Supp ose she had died from exhaustion a nd neglect, tho se who had refused to pay nide' was attention would have got, and most deservedly too, into most serious trouble." He then directed that the inspector, to whom he paid a well-merited compliment for his conduct in the transaction, should attend before the board of guardians with the woman, and see whether the board did not think it their duty to inquire whether some person bad not disobeyed their orders, and ought therefore to be punished. We shall await the result of this i n q uir y with considerable curiosity, but in the mean time we would commend the conduct of Mr. ARNOLD to the notices of his brother justices, as a model w orth y of imitation in such cases. And we trust that his wholesome caution may be borne in mind by re lieving officers and other officials, that in cases of death from exhaustion and neglect, " those who had refused to pay the requisite attention would get, and most deservedly too, into most serious trouble! A due consideration thereof may possibly instil into their hearts a little something which, if not "hu manity," is at least the best substitute we can hope for under the circumstances of the case. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. 'A dispatch from Strasburg, dated half-past twelve o'clock yesterday, announced that in the morning the PRINCE PRESIDENT had crossed the Rhine by the bridge constructed by the Engineers, and gone to Kehl, where he reviewed the Baden troops amidst the loudest acclamation. He re-entered Strasburg es corts d by the envoys of the foreign powers. The Debats of yesterday contains a long reply by M. EMILB CHEVALIER to the last article of the Con stitutionnel in favour of the Protectionist principle. The concluding portion of this article, which we sub , - join, is written with great force : " We abk all mon of good faith whether it is not no torious that France has at present a body of very clever manufacturers, and that in most branches of manufac tures we are not inferior to any one, bat, on the con trary, above almost every one? Is it not notorious that such branches as sell their goods dear to the public, that state of things results from the fact of foreign competition not having sufficiently stimulated them, or of their.pos g i Can t have been suitable thirty or forty years back, have at contested sesn a monopoly p a oly multitude w h i chn o o t f h r n e g g u j u t o fi n e e s? whicha k y e present, by the progress of time, become hurtful? Have not all the ministers of commerce who have succeeded each other, from the commencement of the peace, from M. de St. Cricq to M. Cunin-Gridaine, repeatedly from the tribune warned the manufacturers who were pro tected in an exorbitant manner that it was only fur a time? Did not the manufacturers accept that declara tion? Is not the sum of one milliard 200 millions paid by the French public to the iron trade from 1814 to 1848, over and above what the same products would have cost in the general market, a sufficient sacrifiQe? and ignggl e prohibitive r s receive, ought not steps to be now taken to put a stop to s uc h a state of things? Would it not be wise to turn into th e Treasury the premiums which the replacing which would be an easy matter by re duties by moderate ones? Is not all that we are here re commending quite in conformity with the letter and spirit of the principles of 1789? Is not the masts of pro hibitive duties which constitute the present tariff dia metrically opposed to such principles? These are the points which the Constitutionnel must make up its mind to discuss, in place of launching out into vague declama tions against free trade, and against unlimited liberty of commerce, which it knows perfectly well no one recom mends. It is by discussing the real and practical side of the questions now on the order of the day that the.press can still worthily fulfil its mission, and relieie its e lf from the reproach which has been so often brought against it of being only an instrument of sterile ideology. We gave last week from the Union the protest of DON MIGUEL of Portugal. The Union makes this protest the text of an attack upon England, which it accuses of fomenting in all countries a spirit of rave-, lution. This is an old charge of the Legitimist organs, but it is regularly re-produced whenever the • slightest opportunity presents itself of returning to the subject. The Constitutionnel has a long article on the in fluence which the gold discoveries in California and Australia may have on the currency. It shows that the alarm which was manifested lest these discoveries should have an almost immediate and sensible effect was unfounded, and expresses its approbation of the refusal of the French Government to comply with the recommendations that were made to it to take precautions, which the Constitutionnel contends wer e not called for by circumstances. It adds : " Does it follow that we wish to deny the importance of the discovery of new gold mines? That would be to go beyond our ideas. It is not only California, it is Australia, which has just added to the production of gold. It the workings are kept up on a large scale, they evidently must, after a certain period of time, change the relations existing between the value of the two pre cious metals. This is, we admit, a serious question, which the Government must not lose sight of. A kind of monetary congress of the different powers has been talked of, but we know not whether there is any truth in the report. It would. perhaps, be the best means of avoiding the crisis which may ultimately result from the adoption of isolated measures." The Union says that Bou-111AzI has announced his intention of abjuring the Mahometan religion, and becoming a Roman Catholic.

All that has been said on this subject is unfounded." ITALY. In the sitting of the Piedmontese Senate, of the 14th, the Minister of Grace and Justice read a Royal decree proroguing the present session of Parliament to the 18th of November. The same decree was read to the Chamber of Deputies by the Minister of the Interior. The Gazette de Bale states that the French Em bassy in Berne applied to the Federal Council to pre vent the expulsion of M. Litmus, and that the Coun cil answered that, it entertained no intention of executing any such design. The Piedmontese Gazette, of the 16th, announces the complete recovery of the Queen of SARDINIA from the effects of the late miscarriage. The Official Journal of the Two Sicilies, of the 7th, contains a royal decree entrusting the Lyceum of Salerno to the Jesuits. The Risorgimento of Turin (a Ministerial organ), of the 16th, states that the address of the Arch bishops and Bags of the kingdom to the Piedmon tese Senate against the Civil Marriage Bill cannot be taken into consideration by the Senate, not having been written in the form of a petition. The first signature to the iocument is that of Monsignor FRANZONI, the exiled Archbishop of Turin. GREECE. We have received intelligence from Athens to the 7th inst. The Monk CHRISTOPHOROS still evaded the search made after him. The agitation which had prevailed was gradtally subsiding. The Courrier dthenes of the 7th says— " M. Persiani, charg4 d'affaires of Russia, has ad. dressed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs a note in which he asks for oplanations relative to a domiciliary visit which had bein made in the house of Father Mconomos, a; Russin subject. It is said that the note expresses surprise at such a step being take.n with respect to a person enjoying public conside ration, and aeks to be informed of the result of the proposition. The answer of the Government is said to have been that the visit in question was made in virtue of, a regular warrant from the examining magis trate of Patras; that. according to the Greek law, such measures were adoited alike against foreigners and natives, whenever the proper authorities considered such a course necessary .n order to discover an offending party; that, accordin; to that law also, the conduct of such a matter was essentially secret, from which it fol lowed that nothing :lould be communicated until the affair, after the preliminary investigation was over, had been sent before the Chamber of the Council, and that, consequently, the Gwernment could not at that moment c2 sat o is o f n y the application omos,itissaid, i o e f the teeplicehaaterdgéind'atffhaeires. affair Foafthrthee Monk Christophoros.'' 1_ 0 NT)O N, HAYMARKET THEATRE. Thursday, the closing night of the summer season, is ap propriated to the benefitof Mr. Frederick Webster, who puts forward a most attractive programme for the entertainment of his patrons, among wtom his brother Freemasons will not fail to master in strong array. The performances will be sus tained by the entire strength of the Haymarket company, together with other distinguished artists. Mr. T. C. King, an admirable tragedian, who has acquired an extraordinary celebrity -at the Theatre Royal, Dublin (and the acute critics of the sister metropolis, who have been loud in his praise, are no faveurers of mediocrity), makes his first appearance at this house on Thursday evening in the character of Shylock. The English nightingale, Miss Louisa Pyne, also contributes her valuable aid; and in the ' aughable farce of The Spita lfi elds' Weaver, Mr. J. L. Toole, of whose comic powers ot enter tainment we have been enlibled to speak very favourably on more than one occasion, makes his claitt on the regular stage. In every respect Brother F, Webster is richly entitled to an overflowing house. BA7TY'S GRAND NATIONAL lIIPPO- D4OME. A numerous audience last night assembled at this de liatful place of amusement:, to witness a grand balloon as spirited proprietor. Mr. Batty appears determined as cent, which was added . to tip other varied attractions offered neither labour norexpense to render hismagnificent ebtftastpbhlaeirsehmen.t worthy of its own well-merited reputation, the world. Stortly after six o'clock, the infla tion of the liberal putronte of the inhabitants of the first been fully completed, two gentlemen took their sea ts in the car, while the aerial Palinurus, the sky pilot, took his daring seat on the hoop, after the manner of poor G'sle. An accident had nearly occurred to the aeronauts. Th e car did not quite clear the inclosure, and a portion of the woodwork was carried away. A thrill of horror ran through the assembly, but the consternation was speedily m tio e n tro h p a l i s ng in appeased, when 'Amster machine sailed away majestically, and the theadveaturous trio afforded unequivocal evidence that they had rut been seriously injured by the hen came off, to the great delight of the audience, who witne.sed the daring riding of the ladies and gentlemen of the estallishment. This was followed by other scenes, among which the chariot races, under the guid ance of the Grecian . Maidi, the desert races by the ostriches cars . with then Arab guides, the struggle for collision. The stag hunt . drawing by the rival . Greeki, and the admirably contested flat ladies, elicited . th.t most enthusiastic applause. In deed,waspo portion of the entertainments which did no t richly merit the apuobation which was freely and liberally accorded. :We . rust that no person will think of leaving the metropolis without paying a visit to the Hippo drome.We only suggest a single visit, being fully convinced that no persuasion will be required to ensure a second and many subsequent attendinces at this truly national place of Ibe ascent )f the Royal Hippodrome Balloon amusement. rliabeeer t by there Y. is, we find, to be repeated on Thursday, under the guidance of Mr. Chambers.

The three companies previously encamped on Greenhill have removed their tenta, and put them up alongside the other six companies, on the west side of the common. The south, east, and north sides of the encampment are defended, the south a n d nort h by chevczux-de-frise, and the east by the guns of four field-batteries, with their ammunition carriages in the rear.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. . The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for export and on speculation. The, market was quiet at previous rates. The sales comprised 4,250 American, 250 Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to 6id., 300 Egyptian at 6id. to 7d., and 200 Surat at 3,1 d. to 4jd. per lb.— Railway Shares were dull at rather lower prices. The Produce Markets are only moderately active this week. From the_ Stock Markets abroad, we have no intelli gence of any particular change in prices. The amount of bullion received thus far this week is about 161,000/. from the West Indies and Panama, 52,0001. from the United States, and 16,0001. by the vessel Hamlet, arrived from S ydney. Letters by this opportunity mention that a monster block of quartz, weighing four cwt., was reported to have been taken out by some parties at the ridge called the Louisa. The quantity of gold contained was believed to be very large. Whether this be true or not, it is known that various other blocks of unusual size had been obtained. Against the amount of bullion received we must place that shipped, and it appears that 167,892/. has been forwarded to the east, viz., to Alexandria and Ceylon 50,3001. in gold, and the rest in silver to Calcutta, Bombay. and Singapore. The English Funds have been rather flatter again, and the transactions are chiefly in the direction of 'Meg. The amount of speculative business done-- is __ _small at present, and the course of the m ar k et for a few • weeks will b e regulated ma i n l y by the plentifulness of money, the state of the weather, an d the political prospects of th e next session o f P ar li amen t; all of which, even sho u ld t h e time bargai n operators be absent in th e country or abroad, wtll actuate parties having capital invested or to invest.

Foreign Stocks are quiet generally, but Spanish Thr ee per Cent s . h ave i mprove d to 491 1. The Deferred are firm at 221 to I. B raz ilian Five per Cents. have been marked 102, and Chilian 105. Mexican are rather heavy at 248 to 258. Peruvian Six per Cents. have been at 103 to 104, and the Deferred at 63 to 1. The existing heaviness arises from the fact that the agents will not apply the large amount in the Bank of England to the redemption of the Active Stock, until further instructions are received from the Government, because the price is above par. The convention, however, makes no stipulation restricting the Sinking Fund from being applied when the stock is above 100, because it was never supposed it would rule so high. When next year, scent-ding to the arrangement, a certain amount of Bonds have to be drawn, the case will be very dif ferent, and necessarily not more than par would be " given.

E. hi. K. (From Ainsworth's Magazine for July.) 'Twas on a merry summer day, When yellow gorse was blowing, I met her in the forest way, With ringlets brightly flowing— Her ringlets rich as autumn leaves, Her face all artless beauty; Who sees such evermore believes " To love" life's sweetest duty. She gathered flowers as she went, wrestled, piwe d A nd The little fairy reaper! Wild-rose, for some dear emblem meant, Sorrel, and noon's pale sleeper ; 1 ' Red woodbines, too, so lavish th ere , n That n e with o i e c a e c zephyr bhuneh s she e Her snowy kerchief nestled. She murmured snatches of old song How still I stood to listen! But down the forest vale ere long I saw her ringlets glisten; I heard her singing in the shade, Now hastening, and now staying.. While half resolved, and half afraid, I ran or stood delaying. Softer and sweeter came her song As down the path she wended ; My beating heart grew proud and strong— I too the path descended. Gipsy IT how fast her dainty feet Along the ruts now bore her! aut sodn, with step as sure and fleet, I breathless stood before her. Needs it to tell the burning words That hushed her tongue's gay ditty? Needs it to strike the passion -chords That moved her heart to pity? Soon was her yielding hand in mine, And where she gathered flowers, Where violets bud and lilies shine, We talked of wedding hours. * The evening primrose.
