JULY 22, 1852. Middlesex, at least, has shown iteelf grateful, nd in doing so, has vindicated in a most brilliant ma: at ler the glorious priaciple of religious toleration.ter the extraordinary triumph achieved yesterday by the Supporters of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, the 'hole o f the metropolitan constituencies may congratuir Ite themselves upon the reflection, that while elsewlee' re, in the couree of the present elections of 1852, the :in tenets of reform Lave been shamelessly abandoned, ai therir hands, at any rate, they have obtained a rece p ti" worthy or a free country and of an enlighte)e. , 2d generation. The City itself having secu r sd the services of three Reformers and of a Liberal Conservati ve , the surrounding born g hs have emulat e d each ' other in sending Whig or . .Et dical representatives to the new Parliament. If at Lambeth the merits of Mr. VEYNCOUBT were fe r gotten somewhat cruelly, that veteran pclitician •sv as replaced by a man of comprehensive sympathies Id lie Mr. WILKINSON. If in the Tower Hamlets the rd o quence of Mr. Tnomrsox was for once unffeneroue ly d esp i s ed, there was in his stead eleoted by his form er admirers a candidate as independent as Mr. BUTLII R. At Finsbury, the vacancy c ause d b y the retireme it of Mr. IVAKLEY was filled up by t h e selection of a Free-trader as liberal in his sentirrelnts as Aicil man CIIALLI2i. In lieu again of Alderman Hui rusity, the electors of Southwark chose for the it no less undoubted Liberal than r. new Member a I , ae r ne of Sir WILLIAM MOL4 PZLLATT, as the satisfied with the men e " Y WORTH.

As its vepres en t a ti v ee, there were se lected two Liberal .r" ets, who a re n o t me: cal' v --• B devoted Free-traders, but thorough Reformers I °t'' the bargain—their triumph bein g secured, More° ver, only after a fierce and sustained struggle age ins t . Viscount MAIDSTONE as the Ministerial candid 'Ate - Satisfactory, however, though each.;and all of t hese metropolitan contests have been, the most remarkable amongst them is surpassed in interest, as well cc in importance, by the contest for the metropolitan county—terminating yesterday with the re turn of both the Liberal ex- representa ives, the principal source of delight in the victory being the total defeat by Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE of he Marquis Of BLANDF OED . Th ere is the Derby something more in this, as we have already intimated, than the success of a man, or even the advancement of a party—there is the recognition of a great prin ciple by the most influential constituency in the United Kingdom, and that great principle the prin ciple of Religious Toleration. The struggle, which closed thus happily yester day afternoon, had narrowed itself at last to a con test between the advocates of religious the champions of s ec t ar i an bi go t r y. It is in this respect that f re edom and we regard the re -acceptance of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE by the people of Middlesex as a cause for earnest gratulation, infinitely more than for the circumstance of the defeat of Lord BLANDFORD being another feather in the cap of the Opposition. The advantage gained by the gallant, free-spoken, large-hearted BERNAL OSBORNE is an advantage not so much over the general character as it is over the Orange-fanaticism of a cer tain section of her MAJESTY'S Government. By choosing Beale Ar. Osisonrus instead of the Marquis of BLANDFORD, the electors of Middlesex have not only scooted the bypocrisy of a Ministry which enters office upon one principle and retains it upon another, they have protested with noble and conspicuous in dependence against that red-hot No-Popery agitation w hich led to a riot in Stockport, and very nearly to an insurrection in Liverpool. The effect of the course pursued in the first instance by Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, and afterwards by the electors of Middlesex, cannot, we believe, in this respect, be lost upon the cooler and calmer judgment of the population. When the excitement very naturally arising out o f th e produced by the contentions the general election has sub sided,significance of the decision thus pronounced by the metropolitan county will be more clearly recognised and appreciated by the ge neral community. It will then be perceived that the result of the polling on Tuesday, the 19th, and on Wednesday, the 20th of July, was evidence that the majority of the county voters of Middlesex, after electing one Liberal candidate, in the person of Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR, elected a second in the person of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE—because the con stituency were grateful for the eminent services per formed by the latter as their representative, because they admired the consistency of his unflinching inde pendence, because they liked the keenness of his slashing and trenchant rhetoric, because they con sidered him as one of those few Members who could ill be spared from the deliberations of the popular branch of the Legislature, because they regarded him as at once a goad to the Govern ment and a spur to the Opposition, but especially be cause they saw in him an embodiment of the two principles to the maintenance of which the English people are at heart, we believe, entirely devoted—dle divine and venerable principles of civil liberty and religious toleration. A tradetman of the city cf London has rendered, and is rendering, more important service to the cause of agricultural improiements than the wealthiest squire or moat extensive farmer in the kingdom. Mr. MECHT, of Leadenhallltreet, has undertaken the task of proving to the owners and occupiers of the soil that they are not absolutely ruined, but that they may still earn their own bread without taxing that of their neighbours—that they may have abund ance for themselves, without compelling their fellow subjects to endure privations, arising from a scarcity of food even of the simplest description. It W 23 a thankless and unpopular office. Nothing was more soothing to the bucolic mind than the notion that the farmers were innocent victims, ruthlessly sacrificed on the altar of free trade. They would not, if they could, be saved. It consequently required no ordi nary degree of hardihood to run counter to their prejudices, more especially when the daring innovator had not been an agriculturist ab initio, cultivating the soil in the mode which his father and grandfather had pursued, and observing similar rules of rotation of crops, manuring, feeding, &c., to those transmitted by his venerable progenitors. A retired tradesman might become a farmer, but he was expected to be a prey to his servants and a I I laughing-stock to his neighbours. If he could afford "to pay for his whistle" he might do so ; but the idea of his becoming a public instructor (!), of teach ing the occupiers of the vicinity how their lands should be culti v ated 01 of pointing out errors i n th e i r management (!), and sho win g ho w great savings might be effected (! OP a nd farming render e d profit able (! ! !), why the thing would be too ridiculous to be seriously thought of, and, a fortiori, so wou ld b e a similar attempt on th e p art of a man who still retained a connexion with " the shop," and devoted a considerable portion of his time and attention to trade transactions. Mr. Macs', however, was not discouraged by these difficulties. He believed that the farmers were mis taken, that they had been to a certain extent spoiled by a long course of mo nopoly, and that all that was required was that their eyes should be opened to the real extent o f their resources, and to show them what could be accomplished by zeal, activity, skill, and enterprise. He felt that the same qualities which bad enabled him to succeed in trade, and to a cquire a handso me i n d ependence thereat, would likewise succeed in agricultural pursuits. Capital was required, but th a t h e h a d , and he felt that he could not employ it more beneficially than in such a cause. He accordingly, in a true spirit of patriotism, devoted himself to the task, ; and boldly entered on his new sphere of duties, in cultivating what should be to all intents and purposes a model farm, not merely for the parish or district in which he resided, but for all England. In order to accomplish this great desideratum it was necessary to obtain publicity, to have the attention of, agriculturists directed to him self a n d his proceeding?,that they might know ho w f ar the latter were worthy of imitation, and cue whether they would follow in the path on whi c h street " " the strop maker of Leadenhall 11' was first termed in derision) had en tered. For this well purpose he offered his hrin accounts, as as general inspection, results mightm el nitoste for that the the f only be accurately ascertained, but exact cost thereof to the very farthing. The very e very description was introduce4,..stthe price of each machinery of ~ article was clearly set forth, together With the saving whether of labour or otherwise, which it was calcu lated to effect. Every experiment affording of useful results was judiciously a feir promise tested. In some cases, of course, he had to encounter failures and when such was the case he submitted with un: d i m i n i s hed good humour , not only to the p ecun i ary loss, b di g a sgueivt grins of the " Go o d enoughs " of theatt to the locality.ll he succeeded, and h e did so in the majority of c ases, for as we have stated, th e experiments were judiciously tried, the benefit o f his experience was freely bestowed upon all. The bitterest scoffer was allowed to profit by what had been achieved at his expanse. Mr. Macni is no longer laughed at. Those who formerly sneered at, or openly scoffed him, now look on with respectful attention. They gladly partake of his hospitality, which is displayed wit hout stint or limitation, and 'th ere they ac k cow ledge that he exhibits therein the true spirit of the English farmer. There is an annual gathering,at which men of all class es attend, giving And receivi ng i nstruction on a ll ma tt e rs connected with the cultivation of th e soil. Ncblee men and gentlemen of rank and s t at i on, m i n i s t ers of friendly nations, members of scie n tifi c soc i et i es, pro fessors of agricultural chemistry, agricultural impk relent-makers, breeders of stock, and oth ers celebrated in any br anc h of agriculture, mingled w i th stared Y e omen, flock to Tiptree Hall, well assured cf 2 cordial reception and hearty welco me from the enterprising proprietor; and they are not mistaken, f or it is accorded, and that i n a manner for the purp ose which renders those even who com e of fsult-finditg disposed to part on the best terms with their friendly and kind-hearted entertainer. All honour, then, to lkir. —r. MEcsi , who has proved himself a national benefactor in no inconsider able degree, ard has eminently entitled himself to the thanks and gratitude of the community. In the olden time he would have been rewarded for his exertions with public honours, he must at pre sent be contented with the approbation of his own conscience, and the esteem and respect of those who can appreciate the great services which he has ren dered to his fellow - subjects, more especially to those engaged in the cultivation of the soil. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The fetes at Strasburg continue to be the sole sub ject of attention. The PRINCE PRESIDENT is so pleased with the enthusiasm of his reception, that he postpones his departure till to-day (Thursday). He will pass the night at Nancy, and arrive in Paris on Friday evening. A more rapturous welcome has never been accorded to any personage. Oa the evening of Monday, after the review, the PRINCE PRESIDENT gave a grand dinner of seventy covers to the principal officers who had taken part in the military operations of the day. He afterwards went to the ball offered by the town, which was of a most splendid description, and danced with one of the seven young village girls, who the day before, at the procession of the peasants, had presented him with a basket of flowers. To each of these young women the PRINCE had ordered a jewel of value to be presented from him as a remembrance, and to the one who bad spoken a short compliment to him on that occasion, he now did the honour of making her his partner in a quadrille. The PRINCE withdrew at eleven o'clock, but dancing was kept up with spirit for several hours later. The PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic has con ferred the cross of Commander of the Legion of Honour on Count DE SEGUE, president of t he board of directors ; the cross of Officer on M. VIJIGNER, engineer in chief of the company ; and the cross of Chevalier on M. LEMOINNE, engineer, who drove the engine of the Presidential train ; M. DUTUO UX, ordi nary engineer, first class; M. JACQVINE, chief, who direct e d the works of the fourth s ection and on M. 71AtmorEau, chief of the working of the line. engineer in We find the following in the Debuts : " We are assured that soon after his return from Strasburg the Prince President will make a slight modi fication in his Ministry. M. Drouyn de Lbuys, Vice President cf the Senate, will, it is said, be named Mi nister of Foreign Affairs; M. Turgot will become Mi nister of State; M. Magne will be named Minister of Public Works in the room of M. Lefebvre-Deruffe; M. de Casablanca will be President of the Section Of Public Works at the Council of State in the room of M. Magee, and M. Lefebvre-D=lM., will be made a mem ber of the Senate." The Algiers journals announce that the expedi. tion of General MONTAUBAN on the frontiers of Morocco had terminated, and been crowned with complete success. The hostile tribes bad made their submission after soliciting the mediation of the EMPEROR in the hope of obtaining better terms. The Constitutionnel has an article on railroads, in which it recommends, now that the great lines are nearly completed, that the secondary lines shall be undertaken, but with great m regard to economy, in order that with a comparatively sall amount of capital this mode of communication in France may become general. The Constitutionnel refers to what has taken place in other countries, to show that it is possible to construct railroads at a much lower rate per league than has been expended on the great lines in France, where enormous sums have been absorbed by stations and works of architecture, which were not absolutely necessary, but which on lines of great traffic, and likely to make lerge returns, were more than excusable.

THE SUN, SPAIN. -- Madrid journals of the 16th have been received. It is stated that the Spanish Government has pur chased of M. SALAMANCA the railroad from Madrid to Aranjuez for 60 millions of reals (15 millions of francs). M. SALAMANCA, however, is to retain the working of the line for 10 years on paying 1,500,000 reeds to the Government annually during that period. M. SALAMANCA, it is added, has deposited at the Bank of Ferdinand the 15 millions of rents required as caution money from persons tendering for the Nor thern Railroad of Spain. The Three per Cents. were done at 45 i t ; the New Three per Cents. at 22 ; the Debt of the First Class at 11-1,-; and that of the Second at si. GERMANY. The two Chambers of the States of Hanover were prorogued on the 18th by Royal decree. No mention was made therein of the continuation o f th e proceed ings of the Commissions, nor of the re-assembling of the Parliament. At the last sitting o f th e Fi rs t Chamber, M. BRENSING inquired if th e Mi n i s t r y could afford them any satisfactory intelligence on the Customs question, or if the Government was dis posed to make any concession. The President of the Council replied that the question was unsettled, but added that the Government would use every effort to prevent the dissolution of the Zollverein and a disunion in Germany, which would be fatal to its prosperity. A Berlin letter in the Elberfeld Gazette, states that the King of PRUSSIA has rejected the intervention of the Emperor of RUSSIA in the Customs question. The Bureau of Statistics of Berlin has just pub lished a table of the population of Prussia. There are 16,335,011 inhabitants, of whom 10,037,277 are Protestants, 6,063,186 Roman Catholics, 14,508 Mennonites, 1,267 Greek Catholics, and 218,773 Jews. There are in Prussia 8,164 Protestant churches, with a clergy composed of 6,139 persons, or one church for every 1,223 Protestant inhabitants, and one ecclesiastic for every 1,623. The number of Roman Catholic churches is 5,156, which are served by 5,605 ecclesiastics, so that there is one church for every 1,167 Catholics, and one ecclesiastic for every 1,605. M. D'EawasEsr, director in chief of the Danube Navigation Company, has just left Vienna on a visit to France, England, Scotland, and the north of Ger many, in order to study the new systems of con structing vessels and steam-engines which have been adopted in those countries, in order to apply th em t o the numerous steam and sailing vessels which the company intend to have built. BELGIUM. We learn from Brussels that the King of the BEL GIANS, after his return from Wiesbaden, sent for M. LECLERCQ, Prccureur-General of the Court of Cos sation, to charge him to form a Cabinet. It is po sitively stated that M. LECLERCQ had declined the mission, and that the KING was about to send for M. LEBEAII. HOLLAND. The Handelsblad of Amsterdam of the 18th says— " We learn from a positive source that the Govern ment of the United State* has 'abandoned its project of an expedition against Japan. It has preferred in voking the mediation of the Dutch Government. We are also assured that the Dutch Government, which in 184 G made overtures to the Emperor of JAPAN in the interest of the whole of European com mee, has accepted this mission, and we h ave no doubtof its using every effort to accomplish it suc cessfully."

The Liberals of the counties of Derby, Stafford, and Cheshiro have been thus deprived of a true and active leader.

TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 9,000 bales, of which 750 American and 750 Bahia were taken for export, and 500 American and 1,000 Surat on speculation. The market closed with more demand, but still tamely. The sales comprised 4,500 American, 100 Pernam and Maranham at 6-ad. to 7d.; 100 Babia at bid. to 61d.; 300 Egyptian at 6id. to Sid.; 4,000 Surat at 31d. to 4ii.,• and 20 Sea Island at ls. 61d. to is. Bd. per lb.—Railway Shares were rather firmer. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 41s. per qurster, and the last week's sales were 59,653 quarters. The information concerning the growing crops on the Continent is very favourable. New rye has already been brought to the French markets. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 20th inst. was improving, orders to buy both home and foreign securi ties having been received. Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. closed at 63i to 7-16. The exports and imports of Holland for the first six months of the present year show a decided increase. The Cochineal crop:in Guatemala is represented in late accounts to have failed. _ The most recent Californian accounts give the follow ing statement respecting the proposed working of the silver mines of Northern Mexico:— " There sailed from this port, a few days ago, on board the American ship Archibald Gracie, a party of miners, chiefly foreigners, for Guaymas. We under stand that they are acting in concert with the authori ties of the State of Sovara, and an influential company in Mexico, composed of bankers and members of the Mex icali Congress. The object of these parties is to take possession of a district in the State of Sovara, where a rich silver mine is known to exist. This mine was first discovered in 1784 by some Spaniards, who extracted therefrom, within a few days, large masses of silver ore. The Viceroy of Mexico laid claim to the mine forth ".. it h in the name of the King of Spain, as being too valuable to be allowed to be come e property of any private individual. The mine of Arrisona, for so this rich deposit is called , became the subject of a protracted lawsuit; first, before the Court of Guadalaxara, the decision of which was in favour of the discoverers; then before the Council of the Indies at Madrid, which made it out to be the property of the Crown. The perturbed state of Europe, and the break ing out of the civil war in Mexico, prevented the Crown from ever profiting by the award. The Apaches have remained since that period undisturbed masters of the district in which the mine of Arrisona is situated. "The object of the present expedition is to enable the company to work the mine, by driving back the Apaches. It consists of some two hundred men, who are now on their way to the spot." The English Funds have been very heav y again, and at reduced values. Consols have brought 1001 for Transfer, and 1001 for Account. The basin ess done has been very restricted both for money and time. The New Three- and.a-Quarter per Cents. are 104/ to 105, and the Three per Cents. 101 to /. Bank Stock has been supported at 229 the premium on the Exchequer billsl. of March is 765. to 78s. East Indian Bonds are at 91s. to 945. premium. Foreign Securities have been generally much the same, but Mexican; have risen, in consequence of the intimation that an extraordinary session of Congress is convened, and that the indemnity money had b een ex ported. . The prices now are 258 to 26. Grenada De ferred Stock has been marked 8-1 to 9i, being a trifle better. Brazilian Old Bonds have been quoted 102; Buenos Ayres 79. Peruvian Deferred Stock has baen flat at 60 to 611. Danish Bonds are worth 107 k, and Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents 104 Sardinian Stock is at 951. In Spanish there have been scarcely any bar gains ; the New Deferred have been nominally 22. Dutch Four per Cents. are worth 97k. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under:- 1852. 1851.

An improvement has occurred in the price of Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Midland, North Stafford, Oxford and Wolverhampton, South-Eastern, .York and Berwick, Eastern Counties, and one or two others. Foreign shares are rather quiet. Gold Mines have been steady and English and AUS tralian Copper dearer. Patent Steam Fuel about i premium.
