Bribery is already in by the too many charge directed eeen u t n l successful against the instances the successful candidates r represen tatives. Petitions are, in y elected as all directions, in active pre paration. The Oppositi on i s in this manner 1 scarcely less frequently accused than the Government. Defeated first at the hustings, and afterwards at the polling 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 captious for directing against their opponents the imputation of baying employed unfair means for the purpose of obtaining a victory, the circumstances here alluded to cannot but be matter for any astonish ment. It can only force upon the recognition o f every impartial judgment a sense of the absolute and imperative nec ess it y ex isting for the national adop tion of the ballot as a security against both corrup tion and i ntimidation. Unless the ballot be very speedily accepted by the Legislature a s a p ortion, and a . very essential portion, mo reover, of the representative system b u t little peace w ill be attainable by t ' he candidat es, but little satisfaction secured by the constituency , and but little fg.cility be afforded the newly electe d i legislators for enteri n g at once upon their duties as Members of Porliiment. A con-,ide the first session in every taw Tr rahle portion of --mu te of Commons ' must be occupied in pronouncing upon the validity of 1 the various elections petitioned against on the ground •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 Palace at Westminster, to take into consideration the force and value of the 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 require their being specified 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 appear how many of the members recently returned are accused by their u nsuccess f u l opponents of having employed bribery as the means for elevating t hemselves into the lower b ranc h o f t h e L eg islature. Several of the petitions here referred to, as already prepared and in active course of preparation, are, it must be confessed, on the very face of each as imperatively demanded in the name of justice as others are shamefully uns justifiable, being traceable only to party spleen and private animosity. That matters should have become thus confused in,several places during the course of the recent elections can scarcely be matter of surprise when it is remembered how much has been at stake between the belligerents, between the can did a t es of the Government and the candidates of the Opposi tion. There can be no question, for example, that our contemporary, the Examiner, is perfectly correct in its surmise, that in such places 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 the Wbigs had still con tinued have been expecte d the reins of the in th e reverse d . • direction, supposing to hold in their grasp 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 band, when it is observed that seats have been here and there gained, it is to be feared, by in dividual 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 which, from another hustings, the SECRETARY at Was, 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 ELLIS and of the Peelite Mr. Tames 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 ELLIS and GREENE, 52 be tween ELLIS and GREGSON, and 60 between ELLIS and ARMSTRONG, while 13 plumpers were given for GREGSON, 56 for GREENE, no less thar:74 for ELLIS, 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. J OHN ELLIS, both towards the local poss e ssors of th e fra n . chise generally, and to the two newly-elected repre sentatives. While we rejoice in the triumph of Mr. GREGSON and of his c olleague, Mr. ARMSTRON G / we cannot but i lament L that a Peelite, such as g al is a l li at opportunity of the Mr. GREENE, formerly the respect t e h d e ch L air e House of Commons, should have been altogether, at present, deprivedenterin g again within the I while we cannot but consider the defeat of walls of of Mr. JOHN ELLIS, formerly M.P. for the borough of Newry, a matter of regr et to th e Free-traders i n the House, whil e it mus t necessarily b e f e l t as a severe loss to the supporters of her MAJE STY ' S Govern ment. Fortu na tely " a variety of opport un i t i es win soon be afforded once more to the electors, byavailincganthdeidmastees o n both sides may s till be lves of which the pick " of th e defeated 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 ELLIS by some constituency devoted to the cause of the Derby G overnment—upoa the same understanding that the country i s now looking f orwar d t o t h e return for King' s COUnty of Mr. JOHN REYNOLDS, the rejected of D ublin, and to the return for Ayrshire of Mr. I EDWARD e iklualviss,L, the rejected of Liverpool. Relieving offic ers, and other parochial authorities, do not appear fully to understand the responsibilities attached to their situations. In many instances they act as if their only duty •%.,as to repel every claimant on,r,the funds, an d to disregard the most urgent cas es . If the unfortunate applicant , reduced to the utm os t extremity of d es tit ut i on, he is rudely lx turned from the door—if he declare that he must muc h longer withheld, there is alw ays " dare the rascal to do I t :, ready to might, however, prove a more i die one if relief i c h e h f a hand n convenient e than the "porochal" philosopher ir n gmed, ing his wit on the obstinate when exercis ing inquests cannot always be huslrZZ, Proceedings manslaughter would be rather un pleasantfor if matters should not proceed odcecauthrrenc . a conviction d ; an the voice of public opinion quite to that extremity, unclog the act in unmistakable ev may be heard denouncing the board to notice the trans actioncomPel terms, and in a very manner. Magistrates, too, will occasionally in t e rfereand the press will which bad better have been give publicity to matters Altogether the life of a disagreeable . kept in the back ground. - nor is de rose, poor-law official is not entirely coteur ggi7eabie; it likely t o prove so while we have such magistrates on the bench as Mr. ARNOLD. Yesterday mornin g a miserable -looking woman, with her two c hild ren, was brought up at the West _ minster Polic e • court charged with the high crime and misdemeanor of being. destitute (! ! !). It ap peared that the miserable creature had on the pre ceding evening applied 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. Simorts, the inspector on duty, who acted throughout in an exceedingly creditable manner, ascertaining from his personal observation I that she was suffering from illness and exhaustion sent with her to the workhouse of the united parish„; of St. Margaret and St. John, 'Westminster, a police constable, who mentioned all the circumstances of the case to the porter. The latter functionary corm ! municated with so me person in the interior of tEa I building, hut on his return positively refused to re ceive her, or even to supply a small portion of bread for her starving children. Th o in3pector, therefore, ga v e p the miserable family the food and other refresh ments which were most urgentl y required, and brought the wretched 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 parish, 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, un der trees or any casu a l s h e l ter s h e could The master of the w or kh ouse was then sent for, and sleeping under the usual class of answers was returned. The woman was a bad character—a drunkard and dissipated all her means (2s. 6d. per week, for food and lodging, to say nothing of clothing or washing !! !) in that way, besides if she bad applied to the relieving-officer that morning her week's money was due, " It was all in the hands of the relieving-officer, and she might have applied to him on Saturday." Aye, she might have done so, unquestionably, but what would have been the result ? We might " Call spirits from the Tasty deep, but will they come?" and we fancy that the call would be nearly as fruit less in one case as i n th e o th er . Wh at, as k t h e re lieving. offi cer to advance the money two days before it was due ! We can easily imagine the nature of the response that would be returned. Not OLIVER 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 that if she had perished with her children during the pre ceding night, as she might have done but for the humanity of Inspector Simms! 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 s t a t ement o f drunkenness to be correct, poor-law reli e f, i n cases o f 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 head. There was great neglect on the part of somebody. Suppose she had died from exhaustion and neglect, those who had refused to pay her the requisite attention would have got, and mo s t d eserve dl y too, i n to 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 disobey ed their orders, and ought therefore to be punished. We shall await the result of this inquiry with considerable curiosity, but in the m ean time we would commend the conduct of Mr. ARNOLD to the notices of his brother ju s ti ces , as a model worthy of imitation in such c ases . A n d we trust that his wholesome caution m ay b e b orne in mind by re lieving officers and oth er officials, that in cases of death from ex h aust i on and neg l ec t, " those who had refused to pay the requi s it e attention would get, and most deser ve dl y t oo, i nto most s erious 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. journals of yesterd a y. We have rec e i ve d th e Paris A dispatch fr om St ras burg, dated half-past tw e l ve o'clock yesterday, announced that in the morning the PRINCE PRESIDENT had crossed the Rhine by the bridge constructed by the Engineers, and gone t o Kehl, where he reviewed the Baden troops amidst the loudest acclamation. Ile re-entered Strasburg es cort* d by the envoys of the foreign powers. The Debats of yesterday contains a long reply by M. EMILE 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 men 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 ope, but, 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 sessing a monopoly which nothing justifies? Can it to contested that a multitude of regulations, which may have been sr ...Ruble thirty or forty years bask, have at 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 for 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 sacrifice? and ought not steps to be now taken to put a stop to such a state of things? Would it not be wise to turn into the Treasury the premiums which the smugglers receive, which would be an easy matter by replacin g prohibitive duties by moderate ones? Is not all that we are here re commending quite in conformity with the letter and s pi r i t o f th e p r inciples of 1789? Is not the mass of pro hibitive duties which constitute th e present tariff opposeddia rtnoeintrtiscawllhyichthecnsatu to such p rinc iples? These are the onna must make up its mi n d 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 relieve itself 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, Whi c h i t accuses of fomenting in all countries a spirit of revo lution. This is an old charge of the Legitimist organs, but it is regularly reproduced 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 r€ commendations that were made to it to take precautions, which the Constitutionnel contends were 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. If the workings are kept up on a large sca l e , t h ey 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 th e adoption of isolated measures. The Union says that Bon-Meas. has announced his intention of abjuring the Mahometan reli g i on , an d becoming a Roman Catho lic.

The EMPEROR was the next morning to leave forSemlin by steamer." The Austrian journal, the Wanderer, says—" Se veral European powers have already accepted the pro position of the British Government to convoke a congress at London, for the purpose of coming to some understanding about the regulation of the gold currency. It is said that France, Denmark, Sweden, S pa in, and Portugal, have agreed to the proposal. The Congress will not commence its sittings before November next, but a statistical office is to; be esta blished for the preparatory labours." 'We learn from Frankfort that the annual demo cratic file has gone off very quietly. The number of democrats who attended was considerably less than last year. The meeting was held in the forest, near the town. The National Gazette of Berlin states that the ne gotiations between the Prussian and French Govern ments for the protection of literary property have been resumed. Wa read in the Prussian Gazette of the 17th : " Several journals have stated that the Prussian Go vernment had abandoned the policy that it had pro claimed on the customs question. All that has been said on this subject is unfounded."

The Gazette de Bede states that the French Em bassy in Berne applied to the Federal Council to pre vent the expulsion of M. TRIERS, and that the Coun cil answered that it entertained no intention of executing any such design. The Pied - nontese 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 &hops 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 document is that of Monsignor FEANZONI) the exiled Archbishop of Turin. • GREECE. We have recei ve d i n t e lli gence from Ath ens t o t h e 7th inst. The Monk CHRISTOPHOROS still evaded the search made after him. The agitation which had prevailed, was gradually subsiding. The Courrie r d thenes of the 7th says— " M. Persiani, chargd d'affaires of Russia, has ad dressed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs a note in which he asks for explanations relative to a domiciliary visit which had been made in the house of Father CEconomos, a: Russian subject. It is said that the note expr esses surpl i ce at suc h a s t o p b e i ng t a k en with respect to a person enjoying public conside ration, and aAis to t e informed of the result of the preposition. The answer of the Government is saiu 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 adopted alike against foreigners and natives, whenever the proper authorities considered such a course necessary in order to discover an offending party ; that, According to that law also, the conduct of such a matter was essentially secret, from which it fol lowed that nothing could be communicated until the affair, after the preliminary investigation was over, had been se n t before the Chamber of the Council, and that, consequently, the Government could not at that moment satisfy th e app l icat i on o f t h e c h a rge d'affaires. Father CEconomos, it is said, is implicated in the affair of the Monk Christophoros." TUESDAY EVENING, HAYMARKET THEATRE. Thursday, the closing night of the summer season, is ap propriated to the benefit of Mr. Frederick Webster, who puts forward a most attractive programme for the entertainment of his patrons, among whom his brother Freemasons will not fail to muster 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 favourers 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 laughable farce of The SpitaNelds' Weaver, Mr. J. L. Toole, of whose comic powers of enter tainment we have been enabled to speak very favourably on more than one occasion, makes his debiit on the regular stage. In every respect Brother F. Webster is richly entitled to an overflowing house. BATTY 1 ,3 GRAND NATIONAL HIPPO DROME. A nu merous audience last night assembled at this de lightful place of amusement, to witness a grand balloon as cent,which was added to th e o th er varied attractions offered by s pirited proprietor. M r . Batty appears determined tos te spare neither labour nor expense to render his magnificent establishment worthy of his own well-merited reputation, and of the liberal patronage of the inhabitants of the first metropolis in the world. Shortly after six o'clock, the infla tion having been fully completed, two gentlemen took their seats in the car, while the aerial Palinurus, the sky pilot, took his daring seat on the hoop, after the manner of poor Gale. An accident had nearly occurred to the aeronauts. The car did not quite clear the inclosure, and a portion of the woodwork was carried away. A thrill of horror ran the assembly, but the consternation was speedily appeased, when the monster machine sailed away majestically, and the adventurous trio afforded unequivocal evidence that they had not bon seriously injured by the The stag hunt then came off, to the great delight olhfimtihisue:anliu.dience, who witnessed the daring riding of the ladies and gentlemen of the establishment. This was followed by other scenes, among which the chariot races, under the guid ance of the Grecian Maids, the desert races by the ostriches ca rs with th e i r A rab guides, the struggle for the rival Greek s , and the admirably contested flat elicited the m os t ent h us i as ti c applause. wasln no portio n o f the entertainments which did n drdliae o rbcsa t eedwr ' t r biy i nty c hg n bely l ar y edi m es rit the approbation which was freely and liberally accorded.

CITY.at Liver p ool T W ° 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 61d., 300 Egyptian at 61d. to 7d., and 200 Surat at 3,id. to 41d. 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 161,0001. from the West Indies and Panama, 52,0001. from the United States, and 16,0001. by the vessel Hamlet, arrived from Sydney. 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 167,8921. bas 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, l and the transactions are chiefly in the direction of sales. The amount of speculative business done is small at present, and the course of the market for a few weeks will be regulated mainly by the plentifulness of money, the state of the weather, and the political prospects of the next session of Parliament; all of which, even, should the 1 time bargain operators be absent in the country or abroad, will actuate parties baying capital invested or to invest. Consols have been 1001 to I for Transfer, and 1001 i for Account. They are now 100 i 1. The New Three -and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 1041 to 105, and the Three per Cents. 1018 to i.

The Deferred are firm at 221 to /. Brazilian Five per Cents. have been marked 102, and Chilian 105. Mexican are rather heavy at 241 to 25A-. Peruvian Six per Cents. have been at 103 to 104, and the Deferred at 63 to 1. Th e 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, according to the arrangement, a certai n of Bonds have to be drawn, the c '. amount sae will be very dif ferent, and necessarily not more than par would be given. Russian Fives have been done at 120. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 63 1 to 64. Railway Shares have bee n Western, Midland, Great Western ,aga in, and S o u th- Western, declining and Caledonian, the other principal lines are cheaper.

's Magazine for July.) (From !Twas Asw onina me r ry gorse Wh en yello wrse was blowing, summer day, 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, The little fairy reaper! Wild-rose, for some dear emblem meant, Sorrel, and noon's pale sleepr;* Bed woodbines, too, so lavish there, That with each zephyr wrestled, And ono choice bunch she pillowed where 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 andstrong-.• I too the path descended. Gipsy ! how fast her dainty feet Along the ruts now bore her! But soon, 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. 44 ` The evening primrose. Mss.
