)11eagne, Mr. Dapr6, interrupting rrupzion wag wholly uncalled for, y ntste.ell in the way of the Hon. _le:man; hot f , r hi- part. 1-,0 771 4 friend to tree (!ia iice,.alti giiw reedy to submit eaiS views and princi ; 1;O`i.1;:a c.tttc6 , in.—(fieclr, hear.) He there- llonour3bl9 C where all i min ev 11;.-Tp,; 7 1, 7thoaTw—a-oprofeeaerl liherality would, for the :.ihe of consistency, extend a terient if not an indulgent heerieg ate what ho had to address to them.—(Hear, ae et e) Let theta remember that insolence was uo t, wit and that uproar was not discussion.— Well ;hen, with this brief preface be begged leave to sea , that he did not agree with those ;who disagreed with Dr. Lee in thinking that the suffrage ought to be extended to the fair sex.—(A. laugh.) He had always been of opinion that if universal suffrage was to be granted there should be no distinction of sexes.—(A laugh.) Certainly he would not support hat was called universal suffrage with that limited and disgraceful restriction.—(Hear, hear.) A lady sat upon the throne, while many of her fair subjects were occa sionally willed upon to discharge the duties of churchwardens sad overseers, and therefore, when the whole subject of universal suffrage was brought forward, he would not consent to support it except upon the con dition that the is ties were allowed to participate in the benefits of the extension.—(Laughter.) Passing to the next topic in order, he came to the attack which an Hen. Baronet had made upon the Ministry, but the Hon. Baronet must have been smarting under the influence of the hot weather when he thought of introducing them to tho subject of Tusc an p o li t i cs .—(ob, oh, a nd cri .'s of "Gammon.') Let him tell the worthy eleeier who cried gammon, that when parties make attlicheiu a seine of gammon they must be answered in the same manner.--(A laugh.) Well, now, with regard to the -eubject matter of this attack, whet does if really amount to?. Why all he could tell them was this, that the main circumstances all occurred before he came into offico; and he begged to tell the Hon. Baronet that he was not prepared to go to war because • a foreign state would not allow the circulation of the English Bible.— (Heer.) He regretted that the Hon. Barons' had lost his ce,it for Bedfordshire, because his speech to-day would have beerereserved for Parliament.-"( Hear, and cheers,) Now, foar months ago he was returned for this empty without opposition. and he thought, under the eircarn stances in which he now found himself, he had a right to ask what ne had done in tr , at time which shouln have e:rfeved their coefidence?—( A. Voice—" You have done nothing.") The most, then, that 'could be said aga i nst him was that he had done nothing. Surely no candi date had ever appeared before a constituency with more advantage than he did now; but he ceded any man to lay his hand upon his heart and say that the Governmeat had done nothing.—(Hear, hear.) The electors would remember that the first night he took his seat &ter his re-election he was submitted to a severe cross , examination from Lord John Russell; and the objcrat of that cross-examination was to prevent the Go ver Ument doing anything, and produce a precipitate dis arelution.—(Hear, hear.) The Government, however, resisted the attempt, and eventually they were enabled to ease many measures of rororm, and make provision, for toe efficient defence of the country,—(Hear, hear.) They brought forward other measures, such as those of law reform, which their predecessors could not carry,. and, after the lapse of three months , which were taken up with the discussions on these measures, no less a per se "e than Sir J4 mea Graham, either t he fri e nd or the "a l' of Lord John Russell , called the attention of the Rouse of Commons to the then state of Public business, and called upon the Govern ment to confess that they were incompetent to carry on the affairs of the country.—(Cheers.) They, however, refused to make such a confession, and within th e brief s p a ce of another month all those impossible measures were passed into a law, and received the 1 of the country.—(Hear, hear.) But it was approve said they had passed measures, but did not prepare them. _ ( H ear , bear.) Now, wan that really so? Was the great reform of the Court of Chancery the work of their predecessors? Certainly no:. They never could carry out the recornmendaions of the Chancery Com m i es toneraa and on one oczion Sir James Graham, while allowing the importance of the reforms recom mended, exciaimed in &emir, where can you find the man to carry them out?—(Hear, hear.) Now, the pre sent Government did find that man in the Lord Chan cello?, and besides that they gave one of our coloeiee art important constitution and passed two exteesive measures of sanitary reform.—(Hear, hear.) Could it be said then that Government had done nothing within the past tour months, or that he had been guilty of any thing in that brief spice which should induce them to withhold their conficheice from him for tee future? So much then for the past, and how for that something which lootas in the future.--(Hear and a laugh.) A. Voice—Tell us what it is. Distuem—First, then, what ho saw looming in the teture was this,that in a few days he should be one of the' Members or the county of Buckinglsto.(A laugh.) But joking aside, he must say a word or two as to the' future policy of the Government.—(Hear, hear.) No'coe Could suppose that the present Administration had any intention, or ever had any intention of re statieg protection.—(Hear, hear.) Neither be nor ‘tv,p 7 had ever expressed any desire or intention to bring back the laws which were repealed in 1846, bat `he had - never shrunk either in or out of the House of Celehnons from expressing his opinions as to the effect whiliftehe repeal of teat law must inevitably produce. He always held that the law repeated in 1,846 was repealed lie panic and precipitatioh, end he had never hesitated to confess that in assisting to accomplish wh it might have hien a necessary end the interest of one great class was not only alaolly lost sight cf, but absolutely sacrificed.— (Et eer, hear.) The moment they resolved upon that Change be came to the conclusion that they must sooner or later have to consider the financial system of the country, with the view to its adjustment.—(Hear, hear.) That was the principle which he held now, it was the prin ciple which he advocated in opposition, and which as a Minister he was prepared to put in practice.—(Cheers.) With respect to the subject of local taxation, he must be allowed to say, that the views which he advoca ed some time ego in the House of Commons had been pretty extensively adopted during toe electioes, not only by candidates for counties, but for boroughs and towns too, and be now found that those views now enjoyed the settnetethy and support of both town and county. Too lor.g had these inequalities of taxatioa separated class Petal class, and it was his hope, and the wish of the Gove rnment to which he belonged, to bring forward metviures founded in justice and applied with policy, *ltch should terminate that strife of classes that had so 'erg injured and degraded the high moral ;one of Eng le nd.--(Heer, hear.) Let them not, however, misunder tttand him; he did not pretend that a revision of our beg taxation would give that amount of relief to the agri cultural interest, and they must still look forward to the time when. the Government would be in a situation to bring forward other measures which should have a ten dency to -reduce the grievances of the cultivator of the soil, ant', ensile him to compete with his foreign rival with ti;_ivantage to the country and satisfaction to him stlf.--(flear, hear.) They should remember that h old. pa- ties would not be found in the - next Parliame nt e t nt e t vvonld rather be composed of p ar ti es w h o would re , present new principles, and in spite of the influence of party politics, the Minister of the day would be enabled 'to carry his measures with far less difficulty than he had hitherto had to encounter.—(Hear, hear.) A Voice—Bat what measures do you propose? Mr. DISRAELI did not feel that the present was either the timo or the place to go into details.—(Hear, heir.) The proper audience for that would be the House of Commons, and when the time arrived bo should be prepared to unfold the particulars of the pitins which the Government would propose for the coraitry.—(Hear, hear.) All that he had now to do SVQ,a to state the tone of policy that he was prepared to re commend, and ready to adopt.—(Hear, he lm ) H e tell. them what was t h e s p ir it of the poli cy thset animated thee Government and the object whi c h tieey wished to obtain. and it remained for him to hope that the explanCiou would secure alike the approval of the country and the constituency which he sought to repeeeee; (Hear, hear.) There was one interest which he neust now be allowed to refer to. He alluded to those who were engaged in the cultivation of the soil, and wh o bed hitherto° been too anxious to look to an artificial Price for their w h ea t.—(Hear, hear.) But there ' 71 5 3 something tar more valet-tele than au arti ficial price, end that teas a ;eduction in t he cost of production, .which should ene ble the object, producer to compete with hi' rivet;.—(dear, hear.) Hi s then, and the object of the party to which, h ewas a re attached, was to bring ab ou t such duct ion, and m.an be asked the county of Buckingham to gil ' eili e had opportunity of c trrying out the principle wh ic h he t 'e 1)1 y attempted to explain.—(Hear.) With re g ard t 4 the qriest i on o f re li g i on, h e wou ld no t detain th em . e _fershra t ll than to remark than in iss uin g I**owet proclamation the Government had been actuated by _I; sincere d es i re to secure t h e peace of the coun tr y; av e with these observations he begged leave again to W,sure them that if w preetta . ti the y once more returned him as their p re sentative he would do hie duty; and his idea of the duty o f a , country I,...ealtenateer in his pasiti.)a was, to make his x,xx. prosporens.—(Cneers.)

Mr. DISRAELI—The poor•rates being a branch of loc4l taxation, I cannot give a general opinion on the enbiect, or make any staiement upon the poor-ra'es without reference to all ocher rates. It is a rart of the local taxation se shall consider. I cannot give any oeinion now on the coarse we bhall take upon a question like that. The SHERIFF then called for a show of hands for the several candidates. Fur Mr. Dup- 6 the hands of the majority were held up; for Mr. Cavendish there were not so many; for Mr. Disraeli the show was almost universal; but for Dr. Lee there were very few. The Sheriff declared the election by the show of hands to be in favour—first, of Mr. B. Disraeli; secondly, of Mr. Dupe; and thirdly, of Mr. Cavendish; upon which a poll was demanded on behalt of Dr. Lee, to be taken on Monday, the 19th inst. A ♦ote of thanks to the Sheriff for his impartial con duct of the Proceedings was proposed by Mr. DuPris, seconded by Mr. DisatiELT, and carried unanimously; and after several rounds of cheers for Mr. Disraeli, the proceedings terminated and the crowd left the hall. MIDESLESEX. A very crowded, hot, and turbulent meeting was held last night. at half-past seven, in the spacious room of the Com mercial-ball, Chelsea, ostensibly for the purpose of promoting the return of Lord Robert Grosvenor and Mr. R. Osborne. On the platform were Mr. M'Gregor, M.P., Mr. Mowatt, ex and Baron Rothschild, hI.P., SC' M.P.. Mr. Hume, M.P., geared towards the close of the proceedings, which were of a vary unb isinesslike and disorderly character. Mr. Flom; M.P., on taking the chair, said he was anxious to address the meeting, because, having been one of those who had recommended Mr. Osborne to the Middlesex elec tors, he hoped they were not now prepared to take a retro grade step after so many years of progress. Lord Blaudford complained of the conduct of Mr. Osborne.—(" Shame !") He had no hesitation in saying that, as a strong Church and Stste reformer he was perfectly satisfied w ith Mr. Osborne. —(Cheers, and one vo i ce , "1 am not.") He hoped to see his own p o i nts o f re f orm e ventually carrie d, and on al l of them Mr. Osb or ne had, o n past occasions, given his sup port. They were told Mr. Osborne was of ultra-demo cratic opinions, but if he ( Mr. Hume) had any credit from the meeting m i g ht tell them that all the points Mr.' Osborne' he approved of were his (Mr. Hume's), and if there was d an ger in those doctrines it was he (Mr. Hume), and not Mr. Osborne, who was the dangerous man. The Reformers did net wish to destroy but who t h f e oo g r m re e a r t l e y s t op se N rv se ice a h'aicia reat deal f now attreitte4 e ne bad done d a good, and theae to purify our institutions. Thbiesen form already: al°Ptea- ba wl cording to hi s greatest teed i . _ e , et . not the electors of Middlesex desert their riend, buteretee o f him hy his acts. What had Mr. Osborne done? To his certain know ledge Mr Osborne bad refused place under the late Govern ment, in order that he might serve his constituency with all his energy.—(Cheers.) He considered himself the greatest Conservative living—(Cheers and laughter)—and he told them not to believe those who said Mr. Osborne, who was one of his supporters, would destroy our institutions.— (Cheers.) They had a cry raised about " Protestantism," but it was an attempt to return to and to increase the abuses o f t h e ch ur ch.- (Hisses, cries of " No;' and cheers) Mr. Osborne belonged to the party who had set free the Dissen ters, and he regretted that some of those Dissenters had now come forward to support the Marquis of Blandford. His advice to them was to vote for their two old candidates— (Cheers)—and to put those tried men, Lord R. Grosvenor and air Osborne. once more into Parliament.— (Cheers.) Mr. OSBOANE was received with loud cheers. which were mingled with hisses from a knot of persons at the end of the room, and some disturbance took place , which l • p atwas repressed for the time, but which was renewed at intervals through out his address. When he could be heard Mr. Osborne was calling on his fellow-citizens, in • the worth of the Athenian of old, to "Strike but hear him." —(A Vo ice — " Say w bat --- you mean, and keep you r wor d !" Che era and hisses.) His friend and late colleag ue , L or d R . G r osvenor, was from attending by indisposition (" He waa a shamedprytneV seen with You!"), f or , th oug h the stronger candidate, he wa s g physically the weaker vessel; but he was glad to say the best understanding existed between them, and that Lord Be Grosvenor expected that those who voted for him would support his former colleague also. Tisey lad seen that an ad vertisement had been inserted in the papers calling ou the Roman Catholics to plump for him —(" Oh I We did!" " You're a Roman," Sze.) He saw a gentleman there—a re lative of Dir. Spooner -he remembered his face—(Cheers and laughter)--who started up to his feet the moment he beard the word Roman Catholic. — (Shouts for and against.) The instant he taw the advertisement, he called ou the gentleman whose it eine appeared at the foot of it, and, said it he had issued it, he (Sir. Osborne) would at once retire, whereupon that per son had assured him, on the honour of a gentleman, that he had had nothing to do with it.—(" Yes, the honour of a Boansti priest.") He supposed they would admit that even a Burnish priest had the feelings of a Christian.—(" Oh ! you're half a Catholic.") He particularly owed an explatia tion of his past conduct to this district, because he bad re ceived from them on former occasions a cordial support, and there was no question he would shrink from and no vote be was not prepared to defend. He was not a wolf in sheep's clothing, nor should he, under the specious guise of a Pro testant champion, show the cloven hoof and long tail of bigotry and inolerance. [Confusion, which was not at all allayed by several temporary orators addressing select but agitated circles, and by all the persons who were not ad dressing audiences shouting silence 'and cheers in chorus. Mr. Hume several times appealed for order in vain, but no order was- forthcoming, and Mr. Osborne was obliged to get in a sentence now and then at intervals as well as he could.] He suspected there were certain persons there who knew they could not face him, and that he could tear the veil from the vis , ge of their false prophet. They endeavoured to drown his voice, but all wise were not the slaves of magistrates would listen to him, and have some sparks of conviction brought to their under standings. [Here a stout gentleman rose up in the,gaHery at the end of the room, and commenced to gesticulate most violently and eccentrically, so that Mr. Osborne confessed "he was alarmed fur the state of his health." We could not hear what he said, but we understood he wax a county ma gistrate, under the-influence of political excitement. When tie was tired he sat - down, but soon started up again, and re peated the performance several times during the speech. Mr. Osborne sat down, and Mr. Hume threatened to vacate the chair.] After a lei se of ten minutes or more Mr. Os borne proceeded to comment on the pretensions of Lord Blandlord, who had avoided meeting his constituents, except at some hole-and-corner meeting —(Keep to the truth; sir.) He recognised the well-known accents of his friend Harry Tovey, and; well knowing his sporting propensities, was satis fied he would run well after the drag ot a young Marquis with a "-No-Popery" cry and well rubbed with aniseed.— (Laughter and confusion.) Amid interruptions of this charade ter the speaker proceeded to review the votes of the Marquis of Blandford in Parliament and his pretensions to liberality of opinion. Lord Blandford wore a No-Popery mask, bdt tinder it were the hideous lineaments of Protection. Whil e be was leading them away with the cry of "Down with the Pope," let them beware of the promises of the Pretender: It would be impossible to give a report of his speech on the present occasion, but he was understood to call particular attention teethe fact that Lord Blindfcrd had suported the grants to Maynooth, and had voted'for their permanence, while he (:hr. Osborne) had ever been opposed to them- on of Bl and cae forward principle. The Marquis his votes fbrd were i m n favour of aa a Protestant champion, and y etthe the Pope's brass band!

CHRISTOPH E R then addressed the electors, and though frequently ' interrupted, received, on the whole, a fair bearing. He said he again appeared before them that day as a candidate to represent them in Parliament.

He had invariably, in the course of his public ' life, opposed Papal aggression, cone from whatever quarter it might. In 1828 and 1829 he op posed the Roman Catholic'' Relief Bill. He opposed it not from any intolerant feeling towards his Roman Catholic fellow-subjects - -the-friendehip of many whom be proudly acknowledged—but he opposed it for the same reasons that he supported our tree-and enlightened institutions, because he thought that it they were to admit to the House of Lords and the .House of Commons a large portion of gentlemen pro fessing the Roman Catholic. faith,. the result would be that they would find it exceedingly difficult to carry on the go vernment of this ceentry.e-(Cheere.) Subsequent, events had showp that he was not far wrong in that conclusion.— (Hear.) Since that time aggressions had been made upon our institutions by the Pope of Rome, and, though he might be' represented•to them as a miserable old man, who held a 'small territory under the . sufferance of 10,000 Or 20,000 French. bayonets, yet, though he did not rule over a great many people-and had no armies or navies, he governed the feelings and wishes of a great portion of the world opposed to civil and religions liberty. (Cheers.) These were the grounds on which he had refused every grant for the endowment of the Roman- Catholic Church. —(Cheers.) He had.always opposed the vote to Maynooth when it was an annual grant, end . he did the same when the Bill of Sir R. Peel was brought forwardln 1845. Consider ing the consistency of his former conduct, therefore, on this question, it was rather unteir at the period of a general election to placard the county with . blue bills containing a garbled correspondence with an individust elector, who ',ever intended, he believed; to give him any support.— ( Hear, hekr.) However influential that elector might be, or however vain in his own conceit, he had no more right to dictate to him the po icy • he dif ht g to pursue than the humblest individual new before them. (Mr. Christopher w as here understood as alluding t 3 a correspondence with Sii. C. E'ardley.) Inwas at - variance with the British Con stitution• to exact pledges from candidates about to rept% sent them; but at the same time it :was right and proper that representatives should-state clearly what :their course oe policy would he.—(Cheers and confusion.) In this coon- try, from the Queen on the throne to the humblest free holder in.the State, they were all attached to the institu tions of Eegland—all..equelly bound to maintain them, and all equally responsible to the public for the exercise of tne duties they had to discharge. In these circumstances, he asked it they would not semi him to' Parliament, not as the pledged delegate of any individual elector, but as the free end unfetteree representative of a great and intelligent con stituency.—(Cheers- and cries of " No, no!") H e nee d hardly assure them that the -principles which had actuated him during the last 25 years of his public career, whether in Connexion with the civil policy or with the financial and commercial policy of the country, remained entirely uni. changed.—(Cheers.) He held, in connexion with the Go vernment, the same opinions- that he did in opposition, and he should do his utmost to give effect in the Government to those principles and opinions.—(Cbeers, and " Oh, oh 1") He would now say a very few words as to the position of Lord Derby's Government with regard to protection to native industry and capital. On every occasion on when' he had addressed the electors of that division of the county—on every 'occasioe on which he bad addressed the Ht,use of Commons with reference to those great interests—he had invariably maintained the duty of a fair protection to native industry. But he never pee.; tended to deceive them that, after the fatal Act of 1816, at which period they had a duty on foreign wheat varying from is. to 20e. the quarter, it would be an easy matter for any Government to restore such a state of things.—(e You never can.") He remembered well that a chivalrous noble man, whose memory ought to, instigate every honest Eng lishman to fresh exertions—Lord George' Bentinck—(Cheers) under whose banner he - had 89 - I ,ng contended, told the elec tors at the last election; ' This- is the -period at which you must exert yourselves, for, depend upon it, if yon retnrn 'main to Parliament a maj eity of representatives pledged to a free-trade policy, you will increase the difficulty of every, , succeeding Administration to reverse that policy."— (Hear. ' hear.) Unfortunately, that Parliament did approve of the free trade policy But now a plain question was put to the electors of this kingdom, and that question was, whe ther they would' return to Patliament a sufficient number of representatives to enable the Government to attempt to at tack and reverse - that policy.—(Loud cries of "No, no.") Tire qUestion did not rest with the Administration - it rested with the electors of this great country to say whether they were prepared to maintain free-trade measures.—(Cries of We er e) Her Majesty's Prime Minister had declared his views upon this question in language so clear that no per son could mistake them.—( Oh, oh)—and it rested with the electors of the united kingdom, not with Lord Derby; tli say whether that policy was to be•modified or continued. - -(Ctiee re and Confusion.) He held'it to be a safe principle in g , neral terms, that they ought to levy from the foreigner in the shap e o f customs duties as large a portion of revenue as they Possibly couldewithout interfering with the com forts of the People, by which means the foreigner would be mule to contribute to the taxation of the country, and native in dustry would also to that extent be protected.—(Cheers and d isapprobation.) Those Were the broad principles on which be thought the policy of this country ought to be based. He would not, however, attempt to deceive them by any claptrap electi oneer ing argument. He would n ot tell them y returne d that if t h e bim to Parliament th ey should have no d uty on to b a cco or ten because he held it to be the d u t y of 'th e countr y, looking at the ques tion of taxation, t o take ca 1 'n , care that tne public creuitir was paid ; and in doing aw ay with a revenue of 7,000,000/. or 8,000,0001., one of two things must arise —either that 'they did not intend. to pay the debt which, as honest men, they were bound to do, or that they inns: levy the revenue by a system of taxation upon the people far more onerous than the present.—(Hear, hear.) As. tea and tobacco were articles of foreign produce. eny one professing Protectionist principles would come with a very bad grace to Parliament, and'auk that we should be relieved of t he du y upon those articles while we retained a duty su ch articles as hops and barl ey.. (Hear, ( Hear, hear.) He understood wished it to be di st i nc tly d 'that he made no rash P l e dge on the subject of to ation, further than to state t h e like to carry into effect • if he had the power. views he wo uld e v ne ver ' • r can, and confus i on.) With regard to gene ral—(" you o f , governments and our financial tied commer cial principle s w b as resolved to maintain to the best of his polio}', n hum ble ability all those principles w hi c h u p on Powers and those quest i on s he had invariably and constantly professed to them.

The Right Honourable Gentleman concluded by thanking the electors for the fair hearing he had obtained, and assured them that if there wasqruth in man be would be at the head of the poll.-- (Cheers and disc probation.) . Sir.M. Crtnaatzemr next addressed the electors, and was very favourably received. .He said they had now come to play the last act in the second edition of that old comedy, All in the Wrong -(A langh.).,,They bad been all in the wrong. He was in the wrong When' he believed that he had th e approbation of his Right Hon.

He must say, he was exceedingly mortified, when the Go verion4nt came into power, to see the tergiversation and truckling which they exhibited. He thought that they would h we gallantly nailed their colours to the mast, so that, when defeated, they would have been able to exclaim, like the old French Ring, " All is lost but our 'honour." They had aced, however, in a manner very different, and he believed that; in the end,. they would receive from no party whatever such galling reproaches as from the very farmers who were now their great surporters.—(Cheers and . uproar.) He considered it unnecessary, after. the many meetings he had held, to say much in explanation of his sentiments, er to .defend„ himself at any length from the attacks which had be en made upon him. But he thought it too bad, after all he had said and done, to be told he way neither'a Protectionist nor 'a Proiestant.—(llear, hear.) He had do'hand in the publication of the correspondence with ; and the only inference to draw from Sirthe C le u tt ll e i rs n g w Erd a a s, l thate. Sir C . Eardley, whose anxiety for Fro teatantism almost amounted to a monotnania, was convinced that he was the most Protestant of the three candidates.— ( Hear, hear.) He could appeal to his Right Hon. Colleague in the late Parliament to sayif he had ever given a vote in op position to the interests of agriculture; and, as to his being a supporter of Lord John Russell, no doubt he had been so. He had been a Liberal f0r.30 years, and he gave the late Go verninent support when he thought it deserved it. But he had been no servile supporter of that Administration, for he voted against them on many questions —on, the subject o f th e malt-tax, on the a i nendments made by the present law ad visers of the Crown on the' Ecclesiastical- Titles Bill; also against' the proposed increase in the property -tax, and for "its continuance for one year ouly, ' He had also voted in favour of Mr: Disraeli's motion for relief to agriculture, and against the late Government on the navigation-laws:—(ilear, hear.) Of twenty votes which he had given since the present Go vernment came into (ace only two had been opposed to them, and one o f . t h ose was in opposition to flogging in the militia.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Baronet then went into an explanation of various matters that had occurred during the canvas's, and complained ofthe course taken by Mr. Christoe t r h o e n s t t o ue f th r : e h n u t : t a i n u d gs, w Ober. - He accused 'Mr. Stanhope of havi ng t o ld a vo ter that, if he vot e d for Sir M. Cholm e l e y, h e would be voting for a Roman• Catholic. (The voter, named Mal co l m, w h o stoo d i n f was here h ere es a i p ta p t e i a o l n eo edt n o fi as rm t e o d t i h t e , truth of Stanhope asserted that it was not true.) There was no doubt ,stow that protection, had been abandoned, though they were told by their poetic Chancellor of the Exchequer that something still "loomed in the distance." What they wanted, ;howeirer, was :.something tangible, some thi ng they lay their hands , upon—not promises such as Mr. pisraeli gave them, and 'Which, like slippery eels, were ever eluding *their grasp:—(Lalighter.) Protection was aban doned, Anti the only' 'tan g ible thing that remained was a stern reduction of taxation.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Baronet went on -to say he would -do all - in his power to effect this object, and alio expressed- iiimselfin favour of an extensipn of the franchise, and of universal education, though he would be no party to handing' over education entirely to the clergt - ... In conclusion, ha .asked. the electors to pump , for Cholineley. Whatever was the result .of the contest, they west have one Tory, Member. lie therefore a3ked the elec tors N secure one Liberal representative, arid let their oppo nents choose among themselves which of the 'other two they would haVe.—(Cheers and confusion.) Mr. B. Srasubie, iti - addre.4iing the electors, said he did not corns forward as a great landowner, but as - tile tenant-fanners' candidate.—(Cheers.) . He appeared there for no party 'purpose, but with' the view of promoting only their iuteresta. He, came among them with the name of'. Protectionlet, with the name of Pro testant, with the name of Conservative.— (Cheers, and "Oh, oh, !") e. Cinder • those colours he had lived, and be hoped ' to live under them to his dying day. He wishe 4 to protect not only the farmer, but every kind of Bri tish industry. If they would not have a 'duty on wheat, surely th'ere was no reason in the world why they should not give'the f arm er ' the benefit of a duty oa peas and beans, so as to enable them to make a profit on some portion of their prodece; . and thus baable to cultivate their land, in such a manners-a would pith in their pdvier to grow wheat cheaper than they were now in a position to' do. The whole taxi- , tion of this country. was virtually a bread-tat. The whole taxation of the country was laid •on the land, and `a great part of every shilling they paid for the' quarter of wheat went, therefore, to pay the taxes, so that it became virtually a bread e t ax .—(L aug ht er .an d c h eers .) If th ey wan t e d cheap bread th ey mu st rem ove that portion of th e b ur d eus that now pressed so peculiarly upon the farmers.—(Cheers au). cO n f us i on.) He was„ a true Protestant; and he would support Lord Darby, because, as a friend of agri culture, he believed that him alone all their hopes expeetations ware placed; and he believed that in the next Pielianiefit he would fulfil the ~pledge he had given to introeuce measures of relief for the suffering agricultural in tereat.—(Cheers and confusion.) He then atenied,the state ment of the el&ctor Malcolm; that - he had ever called Sir H Cholmeley a Roman Ca'holic, and went on to show that though the Hon. Baronet might be a Protestant in his pri vate character, he would not be entitled to the name of a Pcotestarit reeeeseneative. ,In the same way. he might be a Protectionist in a private sense, yet not deserve the name of a Protectionist Irepre4entative.—(Cheers.) After 'l,:t explanation &obi Sir Culling Eardley as to the correspondence already alluded to, The Mull StIERIFF took 'a show of hands. which he de clared to be in favour of Sir M. Cholmeley and Mr. Chris t4her. • • A poll was then demanded on behalf of Mr. Stanhope and a vote of thanks having been gi ven to t h e Hi gh , Sheriff, ,the proceedings terminated in a very orderly manner.

THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. LEWES, TI-ttni-,DA7.—Another des of dreadful heat has been added to the reception of the Royal Aaricultural Society in Sussex. Never before has this society in the course of its summer peregrinations experienced weather so overwhelm ing. Added to the influence of the elections and the secluded position of Lewes, the chalk hills in the neighbourhood seemed positively to smoke under the burning strokes of the sun, and the public, under all the circumstances, will not be surprised to hear that the attendance in the show-yards was smaller than usual. . . . The award of implements has been so unavoidably pro tracted that the list is not yet filled up.

It was not so well filled on the occasion as it has been of late years, though the attendance was far from being Meagre. The 'Earl'of Ducie, President for the year, officiated as chairman, and among the company present were— The Chief Officer of Lewes, Viscount Palmerston, his Ex cellency the Chevalier Bunsen, his Excellency the Hun. Abbot -Lawrence, the Right Hon. Sir John Pakington, Bart., the Earl of Carlisle, his Excellency the Marquis d'Azeglisa his Excellency the Baron. Bentinck, Major-General Sir Harry Smith, Bart., his Excellency General Count Groebeu, Earl De la Warr, Lord Walsingham, the Earl of Sheffield; Lord Berners, La r d H ast i ngs , Earl Talbot, Count Perponcher, the Chairman of the Maryport and Carlisle R a ilway Mr. Richard von Holtzsnitorf-Viel-Mansdorff, Mr. Hampton Langston; M.P.,• the Chairman of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, the Chairman of the South-Eastern Railway, the Chairman of the South- Western Railway, Mr, Fay, from the United States, the Chairman of the Eastern Counties Railway, Mr. E. .Vernon Harcourt, Sir Edward Baker, Bart., Mr. Davey, late Chief Officer of Lewes, Mr. Lover, late Chief Officer of Jsewes, the Earl of Leicester, Viscount Gage, Sir Henry Shiffaer, Bart., Coltn,' Davies, the High Sheriff of Sussex, Professor Simonds, Professor Way, Junior Chief Officer of Lewes, Captain Stanley Carr, Sir Archibald Macdonald, Bart.', Captain Hepburn, Baron Martens, Mr. Wood (of • Culmington), Lord Rivers, M. Malezieux, Captain Mark Huish, Mr. C. A. Saunders, Mr. R. Moseley, Mr. Slight, Mr: Sturt, Mr. Bridgeman Simp son, the Earl of Darnley, the Earl of Chichester (Vice- Chairman). The usual loyal toasts were appropriately proposed and acknowledged, Prince. Albert's health being pleasantly asso ciated by the chairman with his claims as a farmer. The Chevalier BUZISEN replied to the toast of " the Foreign Ministers," and in doing so expressed his confidence that he stated accurately the feelings of his colleagues, as well as his own, when he bore testimony to the importance of the Royal Agricultural Society. They saw there united not only the landlords and tenants of 'Sussex, but warriors and dis tinguished civilians and statesmen of all parties, all assem bled for one good and great purpose. (Cheers.) The repre sentatives of foreign Powers in such en assembly becam e aware that th e y had.c,ome to. the heart's core of British life. —(Cheers.) He attributed a large share of the enterpri.e of the United States to the emigration of the agricultural classes from this couutry—those classes which, in his op inion, were carrying c i v ili zat i on round the world mainly because their impulse was to solicit from mother earth a due reward for labour.—(Cheers.) In Prussia there was no occu p ation so much re spected as that of agriculture, and in Piedmont also great attention was id to this pursui t. He had to propose as a toast, "Prosperity to the Royal Agricultural Society."—(Cheers.' As a proot of what had be en done b y the society h e had only to refer to what had been done by its journal, the excellent articles in which were as much read and known in Belgium and liallan.d.as here. Last year they had in the Exhibitation a memorable display of what had had been done in the way of machinery for agriculture, but the chief exploit of the society had been to bring the land lord, the tenant, and the labourer more together than had ever been the case before. It had inspired, them with 'the sense that they were members of a great community; 'and he connected with this sentiment the event of the 10th of April, 1848 At that'very Moment there was an election going on, which elsewhere would have shaken' the very framework of society, though here it hardly ruffled the surfac .—(Cheers.) ['here were events of which they read in past times which changed the whole nature of things, and even now around taem similar occurrences might be taking place unobserved. tie alluded to the •subject of emigration. If the Saxon tarmer went out to the ends of the world, he would carry with him the love of order, the respect for law, and that feel ing of piety which above all things eistinguished the na tion. This society doubled the soil of the country when it doubled its resources, but the future before it was far greater than its past career had been, and v ith the peace of the world apparently aecured by the combined prowess of their forefathers, he gave them "Prosperity to the Royal Agricultural Society."—(Loud cheers.) Sir J. 'PAKINGTON 'gave the health of the President, the Earl of Ducie.—(Cheers.) Though there had been subjects on which the friends ef agriculture differed in opinion, there were other objects, connected• immediately . with the Royal Agricultural Society,' in which every friend of the English soil and of the British farmer were cordially and entirely unanimous.—(Cheers , ) All must' feel that the highest con sideration of national policy required that the interests of the' landeiwner and a the aenant-farmer demanded a com• bined effort in order by any possible improvements in agri culture to produce from the soil the largest crops they, could Y i eld.—(cheers.) SuCh were the objects of the Royal Agri cultural S'ociety, and there was no one more competent from time to time to preside over these annual meetings than a nobleman •who bad rendered himself so conspicuous in the cause of agricultural improvementa—(Cheers.) The Right lion. Gentleman eulogized the share which had been taken V Earl Ducie in teaching the British farmer by a good example. tie bore testimony to the beneficial effects which the Noble Earl's model farm and his patronage of the best imPte-! meats had prochiced. ...The fame of these were no t confined to Gloucestershire, but extended over the whole country, and he ;conclud e d by asking the, company to drink the Noble Earl'a h ea l th. E arl DVCIE, in reply, said that his right hon. neighbour had rather gone beyond the rigid line of truth, and had allowed hie colonial associations to lead hint into sweetening him (the• Presiden t) in their eyes.—(Cheers, and' lau g hte r.)

It was out of the question asking any stewards cr judges to initaolate themselves on the Altar of their country's good in this matter, and therefore the only means of reformation was ' 0 ask the. council to have a spare stock class. The breeders Would soon find that the wealthy purchasers would go to that ciass, and where the money went there the breeders would be gathered iOgether.—(Cheers.) The society had been doing its best for the interests of agriculture, and in no respect had it been more practically useful thin in the lectures delivered 1 3 by Professor Way and Professor Simonds at the ordinary meet- Inge of the council in town.

I propose to you to drink " Prosperity tot boroug h of Lewes, and thanks to the wor thy that vsho has s o greatly assisted the operati ons of this day,"—((sheers.) 1 am persuaded, gentlemen, that the those who have had to do with m anagement of the ar rangementS of this meeting will do ample justice to the authorities of Lewes, and will say at no other place, and at no f ormer • d were greater facilities afforded for the ar rangement.perio fora meeting of this kind—(o, aecessary ded • " eer s)— and upon' that account I am pe e r e sua , independently of any other consideration, you will f 1 pleasure in offering . se iedgment to the chief magistrate of tein • mony of ackn. ' - " ra te of the town of Lewes. But, indeed,gentlemen, this town has c onsideration. For I bere • • pe culiar claims to _ e it i 8 one of most ancient owns in the whole island.—( Hear.) h the that it bag. traditions of . historical events whi ch c e our recollection even to the time of the Romans, aril , hack gentlemen,. the Roman , s as we kno No ' off' • were a w , unsurpasoCi ia some things...7lllliter, great people, literature and the arts—a 1 „ Mr. ThompsON said--In returning thanks for the compli ment that had been paid to the stewards and judges of the sh6w, I beg to state that the great objeot of the stewards has been to make such arrangements as should secure to every exhibitor . a fair field and no favoue; and the judges have endeavoured to make their - awards strictly in accordance with the merits of the animals or the implements brought before tliem. The opinion formed respecting the general character of the show is, that-though in the classes of short. horns and Herefords the numbers are not so great as on some previous occasions, the horses, sheep, and pigs about make up the deficiency; and the quality of the stock in some clasQes is remarkably good, especially the Herefords, the female classes of shorthorns, some classes of Devous, and the Sauthdown sheep. In the implement department the stewards and judges are unanimous in thinking that the present is decidedly the best show that has yet taken place, that, not only is there less rubbish, but that many of the standard implements have bad im portant improvements made in them, which add• much to their value without at all increasing their cost. On the whole, therefore, it may be considered more than an average show. The facilities given by the town and neighbourhood deserve to be gratefully acknowledged by those who have taken any part in the arrangements, and I am only aware of one cause of complaint—viz., that the elements should have c , nepirefl with our good friends of Sussex. and lent their aid in giving an unusually warm reception. A few days ago I haa.the pleasure of seeing at work, on the farm of ' a neighbour in. Yorkshire, a threshing-machine made by Messrs. Clayton and Shuttleworth, and the owner of the farm informed me that this machine threshed, winnowed,. and - weighed the corn into sacks at a co s t of Id. per bushel. Now, by the old process of flail and - making a differe nce o f 12 s. winnowing machine, 'the cost would h ave b een, on an aver of -30 bu s h e l s merely in pre acgde.,..paerbouatere6do.npear em bu p shel, paring the corn for market. (Cheers.) No long period has elapsed since the time. when,.throughout a large district not many days' journey from the fair town of Lewes, any farmer who was rash enough..to set up a winnowing machine was pretty sine to receive notice of a speedy visit from a certain Captain Swing, whereas at the present time it is difficult to find a f arm o f any size. where a threshing, machine is not used. (Cheers.) Twenty years ago the flail was universally recognised as one of the standard emblems of agriculture; in twenty years more, if anyone curious in antiquities should wish to see a flail, he will have to seek one in a mu seum, where it may possibly be found side by side with the bows and arrows of the ancient Britons, or other similar relies of bygone days.---(Cheers.) These proofs of rapid progress might be extended to considerable length, but I will confine myself to .one which I should be very sorry to omit, because it involves a principle of importance—viz., the adaptation of the more important implements to the means or small farmers. Three years ago we were told it was, impossible to reduce the price of the better class of implements, but we !lie in an age which makes us doubt whether the word ” impossible" ever ought to have been admitted 'into the English language.

Mr. W. Ihrrriar, of Gate Burton, proposed Sir M. Cholmeley, and denied that he was a Free-trader. 'He was :in favour of 'a moderate fixed duty on corn.—(" Look at the :company he keeps.'!—Laughter.) But if they were to have free trade—as no doubt they would have—then, he thought, they ought to go further,, and relieve the farmer by a great reduction of taxes.—(Cheers. ) Mr. W.

The -issue which the electors had to try was, whether two stanch Protectionists and Protestants were to be returned, or whe ther the nominee of Lort.Yarborough was to represent them i n parliament.—(Cheers.and confusion.) Sir M. Cholmeley was a Protestant for whom all the Catholics of the county .would vote, and he was a protectionist for whom all the Free tradera would vote. Mr. W. LorT, a tenanfi-farmer, seconded the nomination. people who made great works. Those great works, indeed, ! were, as we have been, told— " Imperial wonders wrought by nations spoiled and though we cannot, perhaps. surpass them in literature, or in the tine age, yet I think we may blast that we have surpassed them in our public works. - (Hear, hear.) limy could boast of nothing to compare with the railroads which multiply the communications of this country; and those railroads, instead of being the work of " nations spoil.d," are the works of individuals who, I trust, have not been spoiled - (Laughter)—but will be ample gainers by their in vestments. —(Cheers and laughter.) Now, gentlemen, the Romans also were great agriculturists, and I believe they drew great supplies of grain from this 'Bland. But to them was closed that wonderful book of knowledge which the scientific investigations of the present day have opened to you in that masterious science of chemistry, which to them was au unknown book; and if ever there were a case in which it was true that " knowledge is power," that maxim is peculiarly true in reference to the aids which chemistry affords to agriculture. My Noble Friend has alluded to the question of guano, and he has mentioned what is per fectly true, that when I held an office which would have enabled me, if it had been possible, to assist the farmer with regard to guano, my endeavours proved fruitless. In fact, the Peruvians were not more disposed to let us put a price on their guano than the British farmer would be dis posed to put a price upon his corn.--(Great laughter.) But, gentlemen, I cannot but think than the progress of chemical science, and the appdcath n of that science to practical agri culture, may lead you to something which will render you less anxious and solicitous about this same guano, and that instead of sending to the other. ecd of the world for more manure for our fields, we shall find something nearly, if not quite, as good within a few hundred yards of our dwellings.— @leer, hear.) No a, gentlemen. 'have heard a definition of dirt. I have heard it sail that dirt is . nothing but a thing in a wrong place.—(Hear, and latighter.) Now, the dirt of our towns precisely corresponds with that definition CHear.) The dirt of our towns ought to be upon our fields, and if there could be such a reciprocal community of interest between the country and the towns—that the country should purify the towns, and the towns should fertilise the country (Laughter)—l am much disposed to think the British farmer would care less than he does, though he still might care something, about Peruvian guano.—(Hear, hear, and cheers) Now, we all acknowledge that there are certain laws of nature, and that those who violate those laws invariably suffer for it. Well, it is a law of nature that nothing is destroyed. Matter is decomposed, but only . for the purpose of again assuming some new form, useful for the purposes of the human race. But we neglect that law.—( Hear.) We allow all decomposed substances in towns 'to pollute the atmosphere; to ruin the health, to pro duce premature misery, to be pestilent to life, and destructive of existence. Well, gentlemen, if, instead of that, there could be .a system devised by which these substances, which are noxious where they now are, could be transferred so as to fertilise . the adjoining districts, I am persuaded that not - only would the health of the town popislations be thereby greatly improved, but the finances of the agricultural population would derive consider able benefit from the change. You all know, gentlemen—all who have attended to the subject and read recent publications must know—that for an expenditure Per acre far less than that which • produces one manuring of Peruvian guano, you may establish permanent arrangements, by which, bringing from the towns ferti iring liquids, you would improve your property, and a permanent improve ment would be made in the land at a far less expense than is now required to produce a single crop.—(Hear, Lear.) I therefore recommend you, gentlemen, to ponder the maxim that" knowledge is power;" and, as the diffusion of the most uselul kind of knowledge is one of the main objects for which the Royal Agricultural Society was established, I am persuaded it will tend mainly and most efficiently to the ad vancement of the interest and the poWer of the agricultural class of the country.;—(Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, there is only one'other topic to which I shall take the liberty of ad verting; and it is a topic which has already been alluded to by my respected friend the representative of the kingdom of Prussia: • I remember to have read in a book published by a foreigner, who visited this country at a period when Parlia ment had been dissolved, an account of the dreadful disorders of an English election. Here we are,, gentlemen, in the midst of au English election—(Hear, hear) —and I would ask any man who should have dropped from a balloon and found himself in the showyard, and thence have come to this meet ing, wh . ether he could have supposed it possible that there was any topic of discussion or difference•existing among the people of , England.—( Hear; and cheers.) It is our good English' rule, gentlemen, for • men •to shake hands before they fight— (Cheers and laughter) —and if they have no malice in their hearts they shake hands after the fight is over.—(Renewed laughter.) But, gentlemen, we are shaking.. hands in .the midst of the fight—(Cheers and laughter) —for during the elections—aye, and during the elections for the couulies, which, for reasons that I shall not dilate upon, naturally excite a peculiar interest among those who have turned their attention to agricultural pursuits— (Cheers and laughter)—in the midst of the county elections, which take place all over England in the course of this week, here you have assembled men of all parties, differing upon every possible subject, and I would defy any man who came as a stranger among you to find any difference whatever, ex cept as to the merit of some particular machine, or as to the over fatness or indifferent breeding of some animal avaich has been exhibited.—(Cheers and laughter.)

Lord BERNERS proposed, " The stewards of the yard and judges of be show." with impunity, cc Lord Palmerston rightly said yesterday , and some of the overtattened besets died from the excessive heat, or we r e killed to save them the trouble. One ust rdeleie South own ram, a victim of sun stroke, weighed no less then eeilb. per quarter. A remarkable effect of . the weather was its tendency to send the country utgbre into the refreshment booths rather than the show' yard The f, rmer were largely patrom'sed by the smockfrocks, who seemed to think their contents far more wonderful and far more desirable than the accumulated triumphs of the stcck breeders and the imple ment maker. The truth would seem to be that, apart from the nnf.rtunate conc urrence o f the elections, Lewes was an ieeudicious selection as the site for the society's coun tr y t meeting. Brighton wou ld h ave b een a far more convenie nt and appropriate choice. Standing midway between the eastern and western divkions of the county, its position would have enabled the society to do justice to both, while the e 2 C ° tensive railway accommodation would have been a g reat ~ facil ty to visitors, and the proximity o f the sea would ba r ' helped people to keep themselves cool. Instead of this, the society and its friends have been d o i ng pena nce for a w eek on the side of a chalk hill, singularly well placed to develop° the full force of the sun, in a quiet country town, undis turbed by any ambition of progress, and with a misera ble little temporary railway station at command—where t p", arrangements were not very good nor the officials olel obliging. The woi thy inhabitants of Lewes d i d the best they could under the circumstances, however, e rl i the society, while it has gained little financially, has kW Y sustained its reputation for utility. It would serve no For : pose to re enter upon the distinctive l eitures of the OW!. yard, as these have already been described in sufficient d etlit . but to agriculturists the publication of the prize-list for 011 t plements in a complete form will, no doubt, prove ae ee P e , able.
