The CHANCELLOR Of the E xcHaquaa ye s t er d ay addressed a numerous body of his supporters on the occasion. of a convivial banquet at Newport Pagnell, and anticipation of the proceedings of to-morrow, whe'd his own name and that of his colleague will be pv..; in nomination as candidates to represent the 'bounty of Buckingham in the new Parliament. From the conspicucu3 position assumed by the Right llon. Gentleman in the preient Government the remarks 'which fell from his lips became invested with the itn. 11°1 ' 14 ' 4 " of a spcech declaratory of the views enter tainA by the Alministration. It will be re mra ro bereft that his electioneering address to the possessory, o f the county franchise i n Buckingharns'aire was generally accepted by the country as a document possessing the value of a Cabinet musnifesto. Hi s add res s o f yesterday, there fore, avast doubtless be considered as of e q ual signi ficance , the more so as it had the advantage of being spollen instead of wri tten, and especially considering It was ingeniously remarked by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, that while many were asking Ministers "Why don't you say what you will do ?" it should be remembered that the Govern ment ought to go to the country not upon details, but upon principles. This remark, we repeat, was ingenious —but while it was ingenious it was by no means satisfactory. Nobody wanted the Cabinet to go to the country upon details. All the people really desired to know was the precise nature of the very principles here alluded to by the Right Hon. Gentleman. We fancy it would be rather difficult to find two men in the United Kingdom capable of agreeing as to the nature of the policy cherished by Lord DERBY'S Administration. The Oracle of Delphos is not more silent than the Ministry has continued to be up to this very moment in regard to the principles implied by the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CELEQUER. What they really are, the most imagina tive as well as the most discerning are bewildered in the attempt to conjecture. All the community can do is to await as patiently as possible the hour of their ultimate revelation. Hithert o o ur administrators have kept us in the dark as to their intentions; and now one of the chief men in the Govern ment reminds us that it has been the duty of himself and his colleagues to go to the country not upon details but upon principles. Precisely. But where are they ? How can we discover them ? Can they be deemed visible under the glittering haze of these rhetorical generalities ? Is the empire to be ruled not by a policy but by the shadow of a policy— not by a party but by the spectre of a party—not by a sober consistency in this proposition or in that, but by the fluctuating splendour of a gorgeous . but shallow hallucination ? Before the final elections are completed it may be as well to review with as much accuracy as possible the nature of the results already known in regard to the new Parliament. To-morrow, besides other county elections in England, the election of Buckingham will commence, according to routine, with the nomination. Within two or three days afterwards the rest of the contests throughout the United Kingdom will have been accomplished. It is advisable, therefore, we cannot but think, to cast a glance back at the " facts and figures" collected together in reference to those contests which have been up to this time actually completed. Already, then, 280 constituencies have pronounced upon the momentous question submitted to their judgment by the SOVE- REIGN. These 280 constituencies have elected 45 representatives. These 451 representatives must be divided as follows: Liberals • . . . • • Derbyites . • Liberal Conservatives .. 230 IGS 56 Total ... ... 451 Grouping together the Liberals and the Libera Conservatives, we have the aggregate of— The Opposition The Mioisterialists ... 286 165 Majority for the Opposition ... 121 But putting the 56 Liberal Conservatives aside as neutral, we have the subjoined as the result of he calculation : Liberals ••• • • Derby Hes Majority of Liberals .. 230 .. 165 t p..

There was much cause for the exultation with which Mr. DISRAELI referred to the advantages secured by the Ministerial candidates in such instances as that of the great sea port of Liverpool. No wonder he augured well from the fact of two Derbyites being returned by Dublin the London, and by Belfast the Manchester of Ireland —triumphs to the Ministry scarcely subor dinateto that achieved, as already intimated, at Liver pool It was natural, also, that he should.speak in terms of satisfaction of the successes simultaneously secured at places like Dover and Greenwich. Hardly less natural was it that he should remain altogether dumb as to the losses sustained elsewhere by the Government. The reverse of the medal was not to be looked at—the intaglio was rather disagreeable in this instance, and was therefore to be thrust out of the opportunity of examination. Newport was nothing —Stafford was nothing—neither was there anything in the failures of the Ministerialists at Newaik, at Maidstone, or at Leeds, any snore than there could be at Kidderminster, at Halifax, or at Aylesbury. The pleasant things were to be talked about on the eve of the election for the county of Buckingham. Therefore, we say, the disagreeable were to be eschewed as out of the question, and—in fact— as nothing to the purpose. This, we allow, at once was but reasonable under the circumstances. A leading member of the Opposition would have anted in no w ay differently. It was the course obviously advisable for the occasion. And a con. summate tactician like Mr. DISRAELI could not be any ill-timed candour to m ar th e in expected by fluence of the golden moment presented to him both as a candidate for a seat in the House of Commons and as one of the foremost men in the Adminis tration.

We gladly give insertion to a letter on the subje( t of "Railway Superannuation," which will be found in another part of this day's impression. Our cor respondent does not overrate the deep interest we feel in a project which, if adopted, would prove so emi , - nently beneficial to a numerous and meritorious body. It is, as we have already stated, only surprising that something of the kind has not already been brought into operation. But when we consider the extreme difficulty of procuring general concurrence in any proposition, however judicious and well devised, our astonishment ceases, and we can congratulate the salaried ra il way employes, t h e parties chiefly inte rested on th e remova l o f many i m pediments that formerly ob s t ructe d a sat i s f a ctory arrangement , on the conseque n t prospec t o f a speedy solutio n o f the problem. Th e di rectors of the di ff ere nt com p anies have, with a wise and judicious liberality, agreed to bear a moiety of the expense of carrying the plan into execution, thus rendering it far more advantageous to the subscribers than any hitherto known. Not only will they receive the en ti r e benefit of their payments, but every shilling will be practi cally doubled. This is, in deed, an inducement to a provident care for the future which has not often been paralleled, an d which should elicit the cordial thanks and gratitude of the officials, and lead to their unanimous adhesion to the scheme which has been promulgated. Our respected correspondent, w hile recording his unqualified approval of the project, with one excep tion, urges th e p ropr i e t y of an alterat ion, or modifi cation, of th e c l ause , w hich be deems objectionable. It is to the s i x th ru l e t h a t he takes e xce pt i on , viz., that, "In th e event o f a su bscriber resigning his situation, or b e i ng di sm i sse d, for any r eason s hort of fraudulent dealing, be shall receive back the whole of his ; contr ib ut i ons , allowance, w i t h o ut interest ; b u t in th e event o f hi s d y i ng before receiving the super annuationhis payments will be forfeited to the fund." These points, we believe, are those which have excited the most serious differences and elicited the greatest discussion. Both topics have received close and attentive consideration, and been much canvassed not only by the provisional com mittee, but all persons in any de g ree interested in th e transaction. If the payments were devoted exclu sively to providing a superannuation fund, and that no return whatsoever were made to parties retiring, or being dismissed from the service, the allow ances would naturally be larger than could otherwise be the case. As the entire fund is applied for the exclusive benefit of the members, any diversion from the primary objects of superannuation must of course diminish it, pro tanto, and render it inadequate for the purpose intended. It would have greatly simplified the calculations if repayments of any kind could be avoided, and if the whole sub • scriptions were to be applied to the payment of the deferred annuities. It was, however, essential that some provision should be made for the cases of parties who, without gross fault on their own parts, d were rendered ineligible by resignation ur dismissal ; of course the companies could not be expected to pay money on account of persons no longer in their service, It was, however, conceded that the subscriber should be allowed to continue a member by paying the full amount of his subscription, in place of the moiety, as was previously the case. But even somethi ng more was imeans, r e quired. maueEn, t to , pay I a t n d woulda thereforen inbeer difficu l tincreased sed s probably,ubf o ra scri p t with ion dimi nished person out some thing,of emp l oymen t, poye then, should be given i n th e event of such pay ment being impossible, and it finally interest. Complaints ecide to retur n with the assent of the experien ced actuary, the payments made with ou t would otherwise be made, more especially in cases of dismissal, where the parties had served out a considerable portion of ' the time whi c h would have entitled him to a pension. It certainly appears hard to deprive the families of men dying in the service of a 1 simi ar return of the subscriptions from which they have received no bene fit. There is, hoe/ever, an obvious distinction be tween the cases. It has never been intended that the fund should make provision for the families o f de ceased officials, or supersede the necessi • ty for life insurance. Its object is to render hap py in their old age those who have laboured long and , and their who are no longer com p e t en t to ear n own sup port. A person who was duly selected as an annuitant could transmit no claim to his representative s in the event of his death, immediately after his superan nuation. That would unquestionably be a hardship, but could it be provided against without completely altering the plan, and requiring a considerable addition to the annual subscriptions ? If • it were practicable, we should greatly desire to see it carried into effect ; for anything calculated to as sist families when deprived of their protector and supporter should, if possible, be adopted. We would even rejoice to think that life insurance were rendered obligatory on every man with a family depending on his exertions. But, as we have already stated, to 'do so would require much larger contributions, and more than railway employes with limited salaries might be willing to pay. We believe, however, that the point is still in some respects under consideration, so far, at least, that when a more accurate knowledge of the working of the system can be attained from the experience of the first seven years, it will be endeavoured to return the amount of subscriptions to the representatives of parties dying in the service. That will probably be the use made of any surplus funds; and we have no doubt that there will be such a surplus, for every judicious actuary leaves a certain margin to prevent the possibility of a deficiency. In the meantime we have no doubt that arrangements might be made with a respectable assurance company, whereby the full amount of subscriptions would be returned to every man dying within seven or four teen years. A small payment only would be re cinired for this purpose, which would be reduced in Proportion to the number of persons entering into the contract. to state, that ( O . iTe m r. o — tio W nsp e o af are enabledpo l itical inquire into o t e e a f r f 3 ar enci es em very RI; first kind, which Deptford, Dartmouth, will be be made on the assembling of the new Par liament,TofilStheA v D e m r employed by the Admiralty, to insure the appointment of a Select Committee, to the return ite candidtes at the elections for Chatham, We have the best of all th . , Devonport, and other Government places.

The Constitutionnel has an article on the report presented to the English House of Commons relative to the consumption of foreign wines in England. The Constitutionnel, although a systematic opponent of free- trade principles in France, 83 being likely to in jure the public treasury, seems to think that a large reduction of the duties on French wines in England would so much increase the consumption that the amount of revenue to the State would be rather in creased than diminished. The Constitutionnel re gards the reduction also as a measure prescribed by equity. There can be no doubt that a large reduc tion of the duty on French wines would lead to an enormous increase of consumption in England, and be of great benefit to the French growers. There are certain French wines which are at once wholesome and cheap, and which please the English taste. The duty on some of these wines in England amounts to three times its original cost, and acts - therefore almost as a prohibition. Good Beaune, for instance, if there were no duty, could be had for sixpence per bottle in England, and Picardan, an excellent substitute for sherry, for about the same price. If, therefore, the duty in England were to be no more than the cost of the wine, the English would have a choice of some ten to fifteen good wines, at a total cost of about one shilling per bottle, and none but the very poorest persons would ba unable to drink French wine. The reduction of the duty has long been talked of, but, considering the advantages that it would hold out to this country, the Governments in England have always stipulated for some concessions in favour of iron, coals, or other articles of British produce. Fifteen years ago the Governments of France and England bad en 'ered into serious negotiations for the recipros cal reform of their customs' tariffs, and Sir HENRYBULWE R and Dr. BOWRING were appointed as Commissioners of the British Government to discuss with the Commissioners of the French Government the bases of a new commercial treaty. These labours oontinued several months, and were proceeding sa tisfactorily, when they were suddenly broken off by M. TRIERS, who was then in the French Cabinet. The only m o ti ve ass i gned for this proceeding was the improb a bili ty which at th a t t i me was composed in a great measure of ind uc i ng t h e Chamber of Deput i es, of monopolists and anti - Free-traders, to consent; but it was, we understand, the opinion of the English Commissioners that, if the Government bad been sin cere in its professions, its influence on the Chamber would have sufficed to bring the affair to a satisfac tory result. The obstacles which then existed to a mutual reform of the tariffs of the two countries, with a view to new international advantages, do not exist now. Bou Man, the Algerine chief, has escaped from Ham. The Courrier du Pas de Calais of the 13th says :—" On Saturday night Bou-Maza, who was detained prisoner in the citadel of Ram, succeeded in effecting his escape. All that is known of the matter is that he took the railway at Montecourt, and that he had with him a miller's man, who used to act as his servant. The only luggage that the fugitives had with them was a trunk and a carpet bag. The news of his escape w as i mme di ate l y transmitted to the various authoriti es ." Th© Impartial de la ...lleurthe says ;—ti Th e Go vernment has just extended to the Protestant minis ters' and the minister s o f th e diff erent sects paid by the State, the indulgence which is extended to Ca tholic ministers, of being exempt from the osth." It is stated that the President of the Republic was most anxious to be accompanied in his journey to Strasburg by M. Fould ; but that when the proposi tion was made, the ex-Minister expressed his regret that he was unable to accept the invitation in conse quence of previous arrangements for a visit to the south. The answer did not appear, however, sufficiently deci sive ; and a second intimation is said to have been made on the same subject, but without success, and M. Fould set out on the journey he had originally ar ranged. This has given rise to a good deal of con jecture as to the probability of M. Fould re-entering the Cabinet, of which the invitation to join the Pre sident was to be the prelude. Others doubt much that such a result would have taken place even had M. Fould consented, but believe that the attention shown to the ex-Minister was more apparent than real. A letter from Marseilles of the 10th inst. states that a dreadful storm, accompanied with thunder, light ning, and torrents of rain, fell on Wednesday last on the town of Auriol and the neighbourhood. An un fortunate peasant, who was sitting in hii kitchen smoking his pipe, near his wife, who was rocking her infant in a cradle, was killed by the lightning the woman and child were not hurt. At the country house of Notre Dame, belonging to M. Remusat, two children and their grandmother were severely wounded. A letter from Montauban of the 9th states, that the torrents of rain which fell on the 7th inst. caused con siderable injury to the canton of Lauzerte. The wheat which was cut in the fertile valley et" Ftaignelonne was all swept away by the overflowing of the river. The poor farmers, who bad already suffered severely from the hailstorms, are in a state of desolation. The communes of Denfart, Montagudet, Miramont, and St. Nazaire have likewise suffered severely. A letter from Nyons, in the DrOme, of the 10th instant, that th e communes of Sr. Maurice and Vinsobres ns had been ravaged on the afternoon of the 7th inst. by a terrific hailstorm. The hailstones, which it is said were as big as walnuts, had com pletely destroyed the wheat which was not yet cut and stripped the vines of their leaves. A letter from Bergerac of the 10th inst. adds, that such heavy rains as followed the storm of the 7th inst. bad not been seen within the memory of man . Three houses were demolished in the village o f Monleydier and the materials carried into the Dordogne. Accounts from Aucb, in the Gers, state that a fresh disaster had bifallen that department, already cruelly punished in the course of the present year. A water- spout fell on the canton of Nogaso on the Btb, and caused immense damage in the communes of Manciet Sorbets, Saint Martin, and others. The rain fell in torrents during two hours and a half. The laths were cover e d on the following day to the depth o fP two feet with water which could not find a pa ssage. At Saint Flower likewise the damage is immense : fortunately no lives were lost.
