To rescue the country from the disgrace of parting for ever with • themagnificent structure with.whose existence so happy aportton ha o s f the life of the people of England isidentified, the Crystal Palace been purchased by private individuals from Messrs. Fox and Hen derson; the spirited contractors/ who erected it. ' The Palace of the People having been doomed by the vote of the tease of Commons, there remained butawie alternatives—either the • fairy edifice, with all its social blessings, must disappear at once from English soil. or be conveyed bYprivateenrerprise from its temporary home to a spot from which no authority had power to remove it. The purchasers of the building did not hesitate for a moment in step ping in between the public and the Legislative sentence : they knew full well that the Governments of othei countries deem it their duty to Providefor, and carefully towatch over, the national character of the• masses respectively givep to their charge, by affording the • aneatiaof recreation and instruction during their holiday and leisure hours. But here the wise and good amongst us must do these things for therheelves, for British GoVernments revolve in fixed political orbits,• and the people shrink from official .interferame in their per- Ronal, cociaaaand domestic movements., Two great facts were established by the laailonal Exhibition of 1851. In the first place, it proved not only a self-supporting, but a highly remunerative institution; and,' secondly, visitors, at the higher rates of charge, neither entered the auilding in numbers equal to those on the shilling days, nor contributed in money a sum equis Talent to that realised by the shillings 'of the poorer classes. From these two facts, it became evident to the purcluteers that two points • mainly demanded their attention in deciding upon the fate of the structure which they had saved from demolition. To begin, they must fix upon a spot for the Palace, easy of access to the masses ; and, in the second place, they must render the Palace in respect of the people ef London what Versailles is to Paris—a place where the people may be admitted by thousands to all the enjoyments of art, of science, of beauty, of s kill , and of mechanical invention—enjoyments hitherto accessible only to the educated, the.reflned, and the rich. In both respects the purchasers 'have to congratulate themselves Upon having met with unexpected and abundant success. A site close to London, but out of reach of its smoke and brick , walls—beautiful,' pletut'eaque, and open—has been secured on the Brighton Railway. •aa- , ,....a0e-enee built - upon itawill have a rail_ se e. _ stay station vita' g taeranurfaitleig by an exclu , Sive line. of rail - with_ the London-bridge mat Bricklayers' Aims . Stations, which are the most readily accessible to the densest por tion of the Lontam population, arrti from 'which the Crystal Palace Station will be reached by special trains in ten minutes. A line is also in contemplation which will connect the Crystal Palace with the Waterloo and Vauxhall Stations. One small payment will cover both the admission and the railway conveyance to and from the Crystal Palace. Thus, in a few minutes, withcut stoppage, the visit ors will find themselves once more within the precincts of their old and favourite resort. The Institution itself ills proposed to make worthy of the country and of the views with which the Crystal Palace was originally raised. Refined recreation, calculated to elevate the intellect, to in struct the mind, and to improve the heart, will welcome the millions Who have now no other incentives to pleasure tut such as the gin Palace, the dancing saloon, and the ale-house, afford them. The tri unPhs of industry and art, and the natural beauty of flowers and ( plants from every climate, will meet together at the Crystal Palace Within its walls all the, charms of the country will be perpetuate d through winter and summer ; and wind and rain, and the well " 'k nown inclemency of our climate, wll form no obstacle to the per fect enjoyment of visitors admitted to the genial atmosphere of a - Winter garden eighteen acres in extent. • At Versailles the great attractions of the Palace are its fountains ; at the Crystal Palace it will be possible for the first lime in England 14 enjoy it spectacle which has always been regarded as the most g r ateful and soothing that-even Royal munificence has been able to command. With our power o: steam cad mechanical resources, it Will not b e difficult to render the fountains of the Crystal Palace the ,2lnestin the world. The sculptures of the most eminent living artists of every nation, ; • Casts of the works of emluent sculptors in., every age, architectural remains and cast s o f arc hit ec t ura l monumen ts of past and present 1 • elf e es, wi lloccupy every salient part of the building.

The moat interesting models of machinery at work -71 Present to tbe artizan, as well as to the student, the means • Of acquainting himself with the processes and the products of every great staple manufacture in the country. The lesson , a 2ght in Hyde -park, where the cotton entered in the berry and T.wergel in the bale of goods, where linen rags were passed r ue' the paper-millaand issued in broad sheets of instructive grerature, will be 'repeated in tho People's Palace, where every ti eat 'victory of machinery w.ll find its enduring record and safe ee_ epesi tory. Geology, mineralogy, and botany will be illustrated on a e er greater scale than has ever before been attempted ; and trees, t architecture, costumes, and manufactures will be so laid out as to present as far as p rac ti ca bl e a s t u dy o f every coun t ry i n th e world, with all its natural stores and industrial products. The xl ee a a ', oit alCo mmtssiouers were obliged to take, ala_ost without discrimi• all that was sent to them by local or foreign Committees, .:t . tai tal thus as many acres of hFace were fillecrivith useless and uninte -47_ g objects, an d the same description of objects was repeated ewe after time in every division of the building. Ili the new build fags on the oth er h and, the classification of t h e o bj ects will be much t a nre complete and instructive, anti the -vacant space will be filled by be autiful plants, flowe rs , an d fepntains. a'ulTounding the Palace will be the Crystal Palace-park, constructed With all the peculiarities for which the parks of England are world . t famous. One hundred and fifty acres will be filled with every tree and Plant which England's atmosphere has adopted or acclimatized. aue CrYstal Palace-park will be as thoroughly English in its aspect as the Palace itself will in its contents be a mirdature of the world. P_ eriodical shows of flowers and plants will be held in the Palace, Dot the general amusements of the tea-garden and the dancing saloon Will be strictly excluded. Care will also be taken to secure a 'LIMY of refreshments of the best description, but intoxicating beve ragest will not b e Sold. In a. word, - throughout every department of natimal work, that character will be stamped upon it which t has already won. The Crystal Palace shall suffer no deterioration in car Ami ft e cluence of its removal from its airesent 'aristocratic site—shall se no part of its claim upon the gratitpde and applause of the Public, by re ason o f i ts transm i ss i on from Ilia hands of her Majesty's com missioners to those of the people. The distinguished reputation of the gentlemen who are retained to the perpetuate the. splendid fabric, constitutes a sufficient guarantee for gowi faith of the promoters of the.work, and far the legitimate objects which the purchasers of the Crystal Palace have throughout had in view. It is impossible to disconnect from those objects— 'Undertaken as they are on behalf of the public by private individuals the character which attaches to every commercial _enterprise. Put it is not only possible, but very easy to render the association how submitted to the public consideration an instrument of incalcu lable good to the country, and of lasting happiness to the people. With the aid of the Government, who, with a view to promote the great public objects of the undertaking, have kindly promised to afford • every reasonable facility, and including it is expected a charter of incorporation, and with the hearty co-operation of • the other influential parties whose services are promised, the Directors have no fear whatever of accomplishing within a short space of time , the gigaittic and serviceable work to which their energies are now t devoted. For the present it remains only to state, that as a commercial en. terprise, the prospect of success depends upon the following well 'ascertained data : ' 1. According to careful estimates and reports received from some , of the principal parties connected with the Great Exhibition, a Capital of 180,000/. will be amply sufficient to complete the purchase and re -erection of the Crystal Palace, with such improvements of ''structure as are rgquired M give it a permanent character, . and a Moderate additional sum will be sufficient to provide a winter gar den, and place in it sach a collection of objects of art and science, of beauty and instruction, as will make its attractions and interest even superior to those which drew the enormous concourse of visitors • In 18518 1 2 . Upon these estimates a number of visitors in the course of 12 anontliseequal to not more than the number which in a single fort night entered the Great Exhibition, will bo sufficient to afford a fair `r eturn on the capital from the admission fees alone, independently ,'of other sources of revenue, whilst any excess butane this number I Will be pure profit. The neve n Crystal Palace will be completed in sufficient time to en hallre its opening on the Ist of May, 1853. and eminent contractors have offered to maintain it in thorough repair for a longterm of years at a cost not exceeding 5,0001. per annum. . :As regards the prospe c t of a l arge i n fl ux of visitors, some of the ;statistical facts conne c t e d w ith t h e - G reat Exhibition are most in . atru ctive. During the p er i o d o f 24 weeks, f or which that Exhibition `was open, it was visited by upwards of 6,000,000 persons; or, on the `average, by upwards of 250,000 per week ; and the receipts e:ceeled 400,0001., leaving a net profit of 200,0000., after defraying the whole lei pens,: ef the Exhibition, including the cost of the building. On 'three consecutive shilling days the number of visitors exceeded 10 0 0 0, and the receipts 5,000/. per day. • ie Arrangements have been made- with the London, Brighton, and ir'ollth-Coast Railway Company, mod.which that Company undertakes !to provide the most ample accetion for the conveyance of ;Passengers to and from the Crystal Palace upon terms mutually ad vantageous, and which pract i cally secure a m i n i mum re t urn o f s i x 'Per cent. on the capital of the Crystal Peace Company. i A pplications for Shares to be made on or before the 25th et May, ,In the following form, to the Secretary of the Company, at their temporary offices, 65 aMoorgate-street, London.

For my part, I can only invite you to proceed to the business of this day with a desire to make it agreeable and consistent with the feelings of all the parties that I` see repre sented here to-day; and, to do so, I trust it will not be even suggested, as recommended, that 'only one path should be followed in, each individual case, but that the utmost latitude should be afferded to those who, in our provincial towns; whether great or small,, have asso ciated themselves for the purpose; and I will take the liberty of adding, because I .know that in many such places the pursuits of science and of literature have been more or less 'connected with subjects of amusement, that, far from wishing.to repel thoserohjects, I believe nothing can be more useful than that they should be perma nently connected with them.—(Cheers.) I therefore trust that this will be had in view—that the jade-, pendence of each society shall be preserved. But if I am asked in what respect this • society, may be eminently useful, it will be answered by the ap plications that, as you will be informed this day, have already been made to this society—that they are de- Mends from all quarters, of the most varied descriptions —varying with the specific wantaof each locality —some asking for lecturers to be sent to them, some asking for statistical information, some asking for books or for information as to where they may, be procured; some asking for the mane of procuring public exhibi tions. I will not enumerate them more; but all of them ask in a greater or less degree for that which must be wanted in all, provincial towns, in a still greater degree, as the places are scattered or re mote, and deficient in the means of procuring informa tion for themselves. I believe that any assistance you can give in this way will be repaid amply to you and to the public, and that those waters of knowledge which you will diffuse will, like those gathered up from the ocean, come back to you by refreshing the streams in which they originated, and be received into the great reservoir which it is the pride of the metropolis to offer to the admiration of the country.—(Cheers.) Earl GRANVILLE moved the first resolution, and after some complimentary allusions to the presence of the Noble Marquis in the chair, said that the meeting was not one intended for oratorical display, but that practical discussions were invited on the part of persons well ac quainted with the subject. There was not the least de sire felt by the Society of Arts to constitute themselves a governing body, but they sought to become a medium of communication, and to act in an administrative capa city among the differentinstitutions.—(Cheers.) In dif ferent parts of the country unions had already taken place, and the system of co-operation now proposed was only. an .extension thereof, -so that it might become national in its character.—(Cheers , ) Tho Noble Earl concluded amidst loud approbation by proposing the fol lowing resolution:— " That the success of literary and scientific institutions s e c n i d en m ee e , ch an an d ics a ' r4 iro a ti nd iatee in in know ledge, might be powerfully promoted by t he combination of many institutions in an union with' the Society of t h t e h o diffusion•c ultiva ti o o f n u of seful literature, Arts, on the basis of perfect security to the continued independence of the institutions and the freedom of their sell-government" Mr. STRIITT, M.P., seconded the resolution, and, specking as a delegate, bore testimony to the advantages which had already resulted from the partial 00-operation of local institutions. The resolutions having been carried unanimously, The Bishop - of Oxeoare advonated the proposed union on the broad principles of its being calculated to pro mote the interests of religion and Morality. He felt that it was not requisite for him to adduce any arguments to support that proposition - before so enlightened and distinguished an audience ' and he only spoke on the sub ject in order that his words might rebound from them, and carry conviction.elsewhere.—(Cheers.) He was not one of those who bad any secret suspicion that any an tagonism existed between religion and the highest de velopment of literature, science, and art. He protested against the idea that to be religious it was necessary to be ignorant.—(Cheers) If it was designed by the heavenly gift of God that man's intellect should be cul tivated, that he should possess an inhirreed conscience and a reasonable spirit, the just development of his na ture must depend .on the equal application of education to his general powers.—(Cheers.) It was true that knowledge and literature and science might be allied with what was evil and mischievous,' but would they hesitate on that ground to communicate instruction?

Gentlemen, this society Mean the society to which the building in which we aro assembled belongs—you are well aware .has been, I may venture to say, the parent institution of all those thut have grown up in this coun try for the general furtherance of science. It has the great honour of having shown and pointed out the way in that' direction.--(fica_r, hear.) It has, in the lapse of many years,' numbeted - arming its subscribers and its supporters a very-large number of the most eminent per sons in this country. It has been honoured nut only w i t h the patronage but with the active support of some of the most -enlightened and di s ti ngu i s h e d members of the Royal Family of this country. It has by that means held - out an exampl e and shone forth as a beacon, to which others have been at tracted; and you are probably all aware that as the• c o mmerce of the country, an • _ d as the Population of the country have increased , there nas fortunately sprung up ' an mar ease ' d 'desire In propagate knowled ge and science, - both with the soicial habits and to connect try.

The Earl of HARROWBY seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously, after some little dis cussion arising upon what fell from the Noble Earl, but which had no baaring upon the terms- of the motion itself. Mr. MILNER arnsorr, M.P., moved the next resole. tion, which referred to the financial conditions of the proposed union. No one, he said, could insinuate that the proposal to render services to the local institutions was to be made a means of profit to the Society of Arts; fur what they took in the way of compensAtion they would give a full equivalent, and 'all that they desired was to be protected from loss.—(Cheers.) He moved, therefore, with much pleasure— " That the pecuniary conditions of union should be calculated to protect the society from loss, and to afford to the institutions the full value of the payments which they may make to the society's funds." Mr. JOSEPH IlumE seconded the motion, and said that he had attended the summons which ho had received as one of the oldest members of the society. He considered the present meeting as one calculatedantdo thebe ofth e now i n importancewha what they y t to were ee deficient,e t country at Arts were rightly extending largo .—( Cheers.) et the knowledge how Societyflof From the results of the Great Exhibition they m k n o e s : i ; g n h o t st besuppli impartialed supplied.—(Cheers. ) sources, (ehee f r r: a great manufacturing and commercial country. From d th e e fie b i es u t cy an m d tion and fair exhibition, we bad learned a lesion which, he trusted, would be improved.—( Rear, Inhear) instances we had been fond of believing that many we were at the head of great interests on which the We population and wealth of this country depended.were no longer a country depending on agricultural ) ra o/plreenywc.eorme competi tion produce for our maintenance, and the number of our population was vastly on the increase. —(Hear, hear.) ) It was ne "- supporting that that the means should be provided fo r that augmented population, for enabling us to progress, and to sustain a world-wide competition.—(Hear, hear.) Unless we made the h aids which science and knowledgee l t ent us t e e of those the indus trial arts we could not expect to prosper, and therefore ho rejoiced in the present conference.—(Cheers.) The 1 letter of Mr. Chester had first informed him as to its objects. Ho had always warmly advocated similar at tempts at social improvement, because an educated po- pulation must always be preferable to one steeped in ignorance.—(Cheers.) Ho hailed the contemplated union as a means by which ignorance might be re moved, and, if it was successful, it would tend greatly to increase the power, the prosperity, and the happiness of the people.—(Loud cheers.) Let this country compete openly and manfully with the world, and, by the appli cation of its skill, its industry, and its capital, -it would accomplish an assured iluccess. The resolution which he had to second was one of a character which had oc cupied his attention very often. He believed that every institution of the kind ought to be self supporting, and belied found that all with which he had been con - fleeted, which had not commenced on that footing, had failed. A few ardent and ' independent men formed an association, and by subscriptions might succeed in making it flourish for a time, but it must be evident to those who looked below t he surface that this state of tbinjs presented no permanent element of success, that individuals wore removed, that circumstances changedet , and then down fell the institution.— ( Cheeio But l tho undertaking be made self-supporting, l e t every mem ber have an interest in its success, and believe that to a certain extent upon his exertions its welfare depended, and then no exterior assistance was wanted.—(Loud cheers.) The Society of Arts volunteered its services to become the medium of increased usefulness and know ledge to the different local insiitntions throughout the country, and all that they imposed as a condition of that . offer was not to be subjected to unnecessary expense. He had the greatest pleasure in seconding the resolution. Mr. GRAINGER, who, in the course of his observa tions, showed that he had had extensive experience of the went which existed able union such as that now pro posed, moved, in a very manner, the following r o an- 1 aion:— " That this meeting accepts the ' memoranda of re plies,' &a, as a sufficient statement in gen to eral terms from of tho advantages wh ich may he expected result the proposed combination and union, and requests that theb'ociety of Arta will appoint a special committee to carry oat the foregoing resolutions, and that every in stitution in unioa with the society will nominate a re presentative ao form one of a representative council, ehich shall have quarterly or other conferences with the said special committee." Mr. TVFNELL, M.P., seconded the motion, which, after a short pra ctical discussion of a friendly character on the part of several delegates present, was carri • ed una nimously. The delegates who shared in the proceedings conference were from Exeter , - Egham, of . the the city ,of Lon f don latelllrY end &iota) b e n I ution, Guildford, [PRICE SD. Greenwich, the London Mcchaaiee' Institution, the Jewish Literory Institution, and Woburn. Their ob servations chiefly related to details of management, into which it was obviously impossible that the conference at its first meeting could enter, sense, r, but which ae da w a l sit e p , on2evieora to the lees, m ar k e d b y great good co-aperate in the views and plans of the society. The Earl of CARLISLE, in his usual happy style,pro por,ed a.vOre (if thaelea to the Marquis of Lansdowne, which was seconded by the -Dean of St. Paul's, and most cordially acceded to . by the meeting. ' • ANT a suitable acknowledgment of the compliment,- the Noble CEIAiRIIIAN armc tweed that the committee cf the Society of Arta would n -- :teet to-day at 12 o'cleek, GO would be happy to receive any communications and sug gestions which the delegetcs had to 'offer; that arrange ments would be made for giving practical erred *to the objects of the conference, and that at three a deputation would : weit upon his Revel Highness Prince Albert, who took a lively - interest in the subject of their deli berations. In the evening a &tiller at the Freemasons' Tavern, admirebly supplied by the proprietors, and of which nearly 200 gentlemen partook, cemented the union et the society's house in John-street,. Adelphi. Over this social gathering the Earl - of Carlisle gracefully pre. aided; and every one present seemed pleaSed with the result of what may be fairly regarded as the fret fruits of the Exhibition, anti the commencement of a now sphere of usefulness for the society with the council of which, and its Royal President, that grand display originated. _ The usual loyal toasts were rendered more significant and ree.ived with greater enthusiasm on the occasion by the position which his Royal - Highness Prince Albert occupies as President of tin Society of Arts; and the chairman did not miss the opportunity of pointing cut how much this country is indebte d to his Royal Highness for the services which he ha s rendered to t h e cause o f _ industrial progress. The Earl of CARLISLE, in proposing the toast of the evening, groom/lathed it with some-striking observations. He reminded the company that they were then mainly brought together for the purposes of companionship and better acquaintance, not for any over conviviality or excess, for that would be rather an unseemly ac count for the delegates to carry beck with them to their constituents.—(Laughter) Their object was to cement the union which had been formed, and to pledge, under the genial influence of toasts and hurrahs, their best exertions to protect it.— (Cheers.) After alluding in a felicitous manner to their meeting in the Freemasons'-hall, the walls of which he feared would tumble down upon him while he avowed that he was not one of the brotherhood—he procee3ed to say that in a neighbouring country, in the great ca pica! of France, there were assembled last week what had been termed a great national festival on their Field of Mare—the splendour of which was insured by all that great military preparation and consummate artistic skill and complete despotic power could effect, and which was Imperial in everything but the name. It must have been as rich and brilliant a scene to the eye as ceuid well be conceived, but we might tell our gay and gallant neigh bours that we did not envy them their gleaming standards or their golden eagles, while we offered an ssylum to the literature—(lmmense cheering) —and the genius which they had cast fo►th—(Continued cheering)—aed while we make a home for the liberties which they had an nulled—(Cheers)—while we pursued what we conceived to be the more legitimate ends and the more worthy aims of promoting the intellectual, the social, the moral, and the religious improvement of the whole bulk of the people.—(Great cheering.) That was their motive for assembling on the present occasion. They felt that it was for the best that they ventured to lay the fours. dation of another edifice, which they devoted to popular ins►ruction and enlightenment. They hoped that it would lead to the cultivation of another portion of the great peaceful field, and around the altar which they raised they did not seek to pile military standards or barren steel, but rather to crown it with the fruits end the flowers which illustrated the peaceful career of their_ national industry.—(Loud cheers) The Noble Earl concluded by proposing:— " The Literary and Scientific Institutions and the Me. clinics' Institutions of th,ei United Kiegclom fend success to the happy union this day founded (coupling with it in terms of deserved compliment the name of Mr. IL Chester)."• _ Mr. CHESTER made kvery modest bat Imitable reply, and was followed by Mr. GRAINGER. who proposed " The Society of Arte.” Mr. W. HARDING acknowledged the toast. Mr. C. KNIGHT, in appropriate terms, proposed" The Representatives assembled at this day's oon 4 erence, and may they be returned to our next Parliament." Sir G. ANDERSON acknowledged the toast. The CHAIRMAN then gave he Provincial Unions, especially that of Yoilishire," assoclriting with it the name of Mr . Baines, of Leeds. Mr. BAINES replied; and after the health of the Mar quis of Lansdowne and the Earl of Carlisle had been drunk with due honour, the company separated. 11l E 1 7T13 'L ANCER S.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. CANTERBURY, TUESDAY.—Last night there was a tneetieg at the Guildhall-rooms in this borough, con vened by the Hon. G. Smythe, M.P., for the purpose of putting forward his claims for re-election. At eight o'clock the proceedings began, and Mr. Smythe having been introduced to the meeting, amid much applause, spoke at considerable length, and somewhat to the fol lowing effeet:—l see around me the representatives of, - many shades and distinctions of political belief; but from this very diversity I might derive an augury of triumph; because it has bceu my singular fortune, in my relations with your borough, to have polled the whole of your constituency—enc-half successfully upon one aide, and the other haffestraessfully upon the other.- -(Cheers.) And yet I am, without any affectation, utterly unconscious of ever having changed an opinion. Now, let me put this strikingly before you. What was it at the last election which lost to me the confidence of the the great majority of the Conservative party? My pro-Jewish and pro-Papist votes, as they were termed; but what I calledehern, my votes against a dead principle of sham uniformity—my votes in favour of a livicg prin. ciple of just toleration, which, thank God, moves among us, and which will ere long, with the crowning triumph of Jewishemancipation, have its being in the COnstitution.—(Cheers.) Singular to say, a large sec tion of the Liberal party now withholds its support from me for precisely the same reason as their opponents in 1847, and, more singularly still, out of precisely the same reason that they then rallied and triumphed around me. The cause of this is obvious. It is because the great Whig party in the State has since entered on a crusade for the persecution of Catholic consciences, which, if it becomes their older, and sterner, and sectarian tradi tions, is of modern inconsistency, violent enough to rouse back among us the spirits of Charles Fox and Charles Lord Grey, if with no unfair imagi nat i ve license I can suppose their spi r i ts st ill guar di ng that sacred principle of religious liberty to which, during their lives, they sacrificed all things but their honour.—(Lou d cheers.) After some very severe animadversions on his colleague for an alleged breach of faith, Mr. Smyte went on to say—l have now to deal with the accuse. lion of my constituents, that I have neglected my Par liamentary duties. I at once s plead guilt h yto n the ev oharge; but I think in Canterbu r y you have one s been very particular -on this head,—(Alaugh.) 1 of your representatives a m ost able and distinguished _ the repre- MSC!, went to Madras for ru nny years with se ntation of your city in his pocket.—(Laughter.) I tear, owing Another, Lord A. Cenyngham, was even, is to indisposition a worse attendant than y m self. I say I at once plead guilty to the accusation. I say more, that I greatly regret my neglect of what are called Parlia mentary duties, and if you will give me an opportunity, I will promise for the future to amend.—(A laugh.) My neglect has, I confess, chiefly been owing to my ow n t, z ,.. dolence, but partly, also, to the untoward situation in which the members-and followers of Sir Robert P. el's Administration have recently been placed. We have been, so to speak, interred in a sort of Mahorart's coffin position—(Laughter)—where life was all but im possible, half-way between the seventh heaven of Whig exclusiveness and the repugnant earthiness of terrene Protection.—(Hear, hear, I remember the present lead er of the Hand cheers.)ouse of which Commons to have called " Ha nsar d , " all, the mere record of its debates, is, a ft er of polities."—(A. laugh.)

I certainly —except en foreign matters t —have never opposed them as an opponent. Let me take the case of a statesman—the best abused public man of the day—Lord Grey! I have alwa) s thought his broad, origins!, and onward views of colonial reform have been impeded and hindered by the intrigues of colonial monopolists them selves. Oa the cc - Taejon of Lord Elgin's Indemnity Bill, when the mass of the Peelite party voted against Lord Grey'S Canadian policy, I supported it; on the question of Lord Torrington's administration as Gover nor of Ceylon, and indeed whithOer the policy of his office was attacked. And theta forsooth, lam to be caballed against by my colleague becteuse two miserable votes are hunted cut to prove that I have not supported a Government which certainly I resier professed to sup , port.—(Cheers.) I say, then, this is a cabal s , - b'ereanee the very frivolity of the pretext trumped up against me proves it to be such. It is a cabal because it was com menced by treachery on the one tide -and was reeled by patronage loofa the o.her.—(Cheers) It is a cabal because it originated at a hole-and-corner, dinner; and was continued at a hole-and-corner meeting. It is a cabal because it • began in the dissimuletion which.pre vented Colonel Romilly from telling me ony votes at the time had nullified our coalition, and because it ended in the hypocrisy which professed ignorance of Sir W. Somerville's introduction to the. constituency. —(A. hiss.; answered by counterecheers.) I understand the meaning of that hiss. This I know is strOnglan guage, - hut it is language far too weak for _my ',feel ing; and I will ask the gentleman v. - bo dissents from me to eourteously, whether I have not a right to stigmatize that cabal which proposes to oust men whose family, for more thanthrcecenf perfecthasteuiries, stenenngrGeOtto oust e.elti tze‘h lt ywoyour County, in favour of o have served you for three Parliaments in favour of one who has barely served you for three years.—(Cheers.)

It will be in your recollection that in 1850 Mr. Locke King brought forward his motion for an extension of county franchise. Upon that occasion my Gallant Colleague voted in favour of that extension of the county franchise. The next year Lord John Russell went out of office on that very question; but the motion was renewed, and on that second occa sion Colonel Romilly stated, that, inasmuch as Lord John Russell had given a pledge that ho would go for ward and onwards at some time or other, and sooner rather than later, with a Reform Bill of his own, he bad no hesitation in voting against Mr. Locke King's motion. —(A laugh.) The question was again brought forward in 1852, and then my Gallant Colleague returned to his first love, and voted in favour of Mr. Locke King's mo tion, which he opposed in 1851.—(Laughter.) Now 1 shell be much mistaken if I shall be supposed to blame Colonel Romilly's conduct on those occasions. All I simply mean is this, that Colonel Romilly took up a fair constitutional position, which was, that when a Minister in whom he had confidence was opposed to a measure of reform, and although ho was himself in favour of that reform, yet he merged his own opinions and sacrificed his own judgment in order to support that Government in which he had entire confidence and trust.—(Rear, hear.)' I think, therefore, I have a right to say that Col. Hominy's (Radical opinions are only operative so long as Lord John Russell may be out of office. Now, cor my own part, I will only say that my own views are independent of Ministerial connexion.-a(Chcare.)7 I have so often given you my opinion on political affairs that it will not be expected trona me en this occasion to enter at any great length, or in any particular detail,:on a statement of my views. At the same m t a imel n t r hi tuta think this epoch, when we are all agre e d, a te . I y coga you on the advantages of free trade:- - --(Cheers.) So early as 1842, when Sir Robert Peel was going on in :hose tariff reforms by which you have so largely bene fited in almost every article of consumption, I then called 'on him to go forward, while I characterized his measure of that time as the first instulment of a wiser end a noire thoughtful policy.e4elmers.) In Nen I had the honour of biting a member of the . ; Government which carried the great boon, and now almost unblasphereed blessing, of corn-law repeal.—(Cheers.) Now I think, in conuexion with this subject, and with another in which you aro greatly concerned, the happiest mode of extending the franchise in this country wouii b e that by which the wealth of this country should match so rapidly as that all should be drawn by their prosperity within the magic infl J ena) of the IN. franchise.—(Cheers.) And although it may seem a somewhat Utopian and romantic theory, vet if you look at the statistics of the question you will rind, since free trade has been in operation, this most rmiarkahls fact, that your franchise has increased more than twice as fast as your population. Your population within ten years increases et a ratio of about 12i per cent. • end your fratcbite increases within the same period more than 25 per cent. Under these circumstances, I tan justified in saying that nothing in itself can be more st;iking testimony to the real value of frea trade than your franchise.
