Middlesex, at least, has shown itself grateful, anal in doing so, has vindicated in a most brilliant manner the glorious principle of religious tol.ration. After the extraordinary triumph achieved :tresterday by the . supporters of Mr. BERNAL Otiß':;litNL, the wi wis o; '' the metropolitan constituencies rimy corgratuiati: themselves upon the reflection, that while elsewhere" in the couree of the pu.sent elections of 1852, the in terests of reform have been tharnele:islv a b a ndoned, al -irhand.3, at any rate, they have obtained" a recei.,.. tion worthy of a free country and of an enlightened generation. The City the itself having, secured services of three Reformers and . of 8 Liberal Cow.ervatil • ve, the surrounding borough:, have emulated each other in sending Whig or 11,2•• dical representatives to the new Parliament. If at Lambeth the merits of Mr. VEYNCOURT were for gotten somewhat cruelly, that veteran politician was; replaced by a um of comprehensive sympathi es iik e Mr. WUXI/Swig. If in the Tower Hamlets the elo quence of Mr. T ue ,,,,, i0 . 1 there was in despised, his stead elected by his former admirers a candidate a s independent es Mr. BUTLER. At Finshurl, the vacancy canted by the retirement of Mr. WARLXY VaS filled Up by the selection of a Free-trader as liberal in his sentiments as Alder man CBALLIS. In lieu again of Aldermen Hum- PII2EY, the electors of Southwark chose for their ' nsw Alamber a no less undoubted Liber a l th an M r. PELLATT, as the colleague of Sir WILLIAM MOLES. WORTri. M a rylebone, satisfied with the r am b y whom the congittienoy had been hitherto of late re presented in the Nouse of Common?, r;:eolved unani flannelly to return the ex-Membns without their incurring either expense or opposition. In West minder matters were not 50 readily or satisfactorily arranged, but still, ultimately, in 'Westminster al3O, the conduc t , of the :Liberal veers wee 1 such as to elicit our /wiliest expres3loll3 o f felicitation. As its reoresenta`ive?, there were se lected two I.4beral B a 'r e p e ts, who are not merely devoted Free-trader 2, b u t 0 30eu gh Befallier3 into --r 4 1 the bargain—their t i i , . " " Pfl being secu red, moreover , only after a fierce and sustainr d struggle against Viscount MAIDSTONE ea - the Ministerial can didate ' Saiafactory, however, th ough each and all of these! THE SUN, metropolitan contests have been, the most remarkable among3t them is surpassed in interes', as well as in 1 importance, by the contest for the metropolitan ' county—termnating yesterday with the re turn of both the Liberal ex- representa':ves, the principal source of ddight in the victory king the total defeat by B E2NAL OSBOXNE of the Dsrbyite Marquis of BLANDFORD. There, is 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, bad narrowed itself at last to a con test between the advocates of religious freedom and the champions of sectarian bigotry. It is in this respect that 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 BERNAL OSBORNE instead of the Marquis of BLANDFORD, the electors of Middlesex have not only scouted the hypocrisy of a Ministry which enterg 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 which 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 produced by the contentions arising out of the general election has sub sided, the 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 tihVe majorityedn e sday, the 20'th of July, was evidence that 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 Eagli,h people are at heart, we believe, entirely devoted—the divine and venerable principles of civil liberty and religieus toleration. A tradesman o► the city of London has rendered, and is rendering, more important service to the cause of agricultural improvements than the wealthiest squire or mo3t extensive farmer in the kingdom. kir. BlEcnr, of Leadenball•street, 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 was 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 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 cultivated (!), of pointing out errors in their management (!), and showing how great savings might be effected (! I), and farming rendered profit able (!! !), why the thing would be too ridiculousto be seriously thou g ht of, and, a fortiori, so would b e a similar attempt on the part of a man who still retained a conn ex i o n w ith " the shop," and d evoted a considerable portion of his time and atteuti on to trade transactions. Mr. MECHI, _ h o wever, was not discouraged by these difficulties. He believed t hat th e f armers Were mis taken, that they bad bee n to a certain extent spoiled by a long course of monopoly, and th a t a l l that was required was that their ey es s h ould be opened to the real extent of their resources, and to show them what c ould be accompli s h e d by zeal, activity, skill, and enterprise. He felt that the s ame qualities which b a d entaed him t o sneezed in trade, and to acquire, a handsome indepA nf t r , nce thereat, would likewi3e .succeed in a gr i cu l tura l Pursuits. Capital was required, but that he bad, and a he felt that h e could not employ it m ore b enef i cially than in such a cause. He accordingly, in true spirit of patriotism, devoted himself to the task, and boldly entered on his ne w sp h ere o f dueiee, 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 1 the att en ti on o f agriculturists di recte d to him self and his proceedings, that th e y m i g ht know how far the latter were worthy of imitation, and see whether they would follow in the path on which " the strop meke.r of Leadenhall street" (as he was first termed in derision) had en tered. For' this purpose he offered his farm general inspection, accounts., a s etio:vell es his farm itself, for accurately ascertained, b , that the remits might not only be t! - :e very firthing. the enact cost thereof to set fortb The very best machinery of every descriptien was i ntroduced, the price of each article was clearly whether of labour or othertvoT e ether with the saving, calcu lated' to effect. Every exp,z l . 4,Le w iit hich it was caicu e in'ee of useful results wa s P.° ' judiciously tested. In some caees, of course, he had to e 'lcolinter failures ' and when s t ich was the ea se he submitted wi t h un diminished g oo d humour, n ot only to the pee l , rn • ary loss, but to the undieseni sec' grins of the " Goode/loughs" of the locality. But when he succeeded, and he did a • ify of catee, for as we have 't a ° in the motor :,,, B , a e , the were judiciously tried, the experimentsbenefit ••„f was freely bestowed upon all, his experience The bitterest scoffer was a llowed to profit by wh a t h ad been achieved at his expense. Mr. MEcnr is no longer laughed at. Those v i n o formerly sneered at, or openly scoffed him, now look ! on with respectful attention . The y g ladly partake of his hospitality, which is displayed without stint or limitation, and there they acknowledge that lie exhibits therein the true Engl i s h spirit of the farmer. There is an annual gathering, at which men of all classes attend, giving and receiving instruction on nil matters connected with the cultive.ion of the Foil. Noble men and gentlemen of rank of ' and station, ministers friendly nations, member s of scientific societies, pro fessors of agricultural chemi s t ry, , v agricultural imple- mentemakers, breeders of st oc k - , and others celebrated in any branch of agriculture,mingled with sturdy yeomen, flock to Tiptree Hall, well assured of a cordial reception and hearty wel come fI'OIC I the enterprising proprietor; and they a mistaken, for it is accorded, and -re no t that in a manner which renders those even who for the purpose of fault-1 .1 . d . at ° home in ( tug isnoEs -0 Part o n the best terms with their frienTy and kind-h earted entertainer. All honour, then, to Mr. Micia, who hag proved hirn3elf a national benefactor in no inconsider able degree, and has eminently entitled himself LONDON, 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 :lent bo, 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 hie 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 PRESIDEIST iS EA 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 iu Paris on Friday evening. A more rapturous welcome has never been accorded to any personage. On 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 ill 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 young with a basket of fl owers . T o eac h o f these women the PRINCE had ordered a jewel of value to be presented from him ns a remembrance, an d to the one who had spoken a short com pliment 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 w as 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 the board of directors ; the cross of Officer on M. VUIGNER, engineer in chief of the company ; and the cross of Chevalier on M. LEMOINNE, engineer, who drove the engine of the Presidential train ; M. DUTHOUX, ordi nary engineer, first class; D 7. JACQUINE, eng ineer in chief, who directed the works of the fourth section ; and on M. HALL O PEAU, chief o f the working of the line. We find the following in the Debats : "We are assured that soon after his return from Strasburg the Princ e Pr es id en t will m ake a slight modi fication in his Ministry. M. Drouyn President cf the S ena t e , w ill, i t is do Lhuys, Vice said, be named Mi nister of Foreign Aff a i rs; M. T urgo t will become Mi nister of State ; Public Works in the ro am of M.

Lefcbvrel)uruflei, will be made a mem ber of the Senate." The Algiers journals announce that the expedi tion of General MONTIUB4N on the frontiers of Morocco had terminated, and been crowned with complete success. The hostile tribes had 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 re g y small am ount of an d to economy, in order that with a compa capital this mode of communication i n France ma y become general. Th e C ons tit u tionnel refers t o 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 w or k s o f arc hi tec ture, which were nut absolutely necessary, b u t w hich on lines of great traffic, and likely to make large retur ns, were mo re than excusable.

The two Chambers of the States of Hanover were prorogued on the 18th by Royal decree. No mention was made therein of the continuation of the proceed ings of the Commissions, nor of the re-assembli ng o f the Parliament. At the last sitting of the First Chamber, Al. BEENSING inquired if the Ministry could afford them any satisfactory intelligence on the Customs question, or if the Government was dis posed to make any concession. The Pie - ident of the Council nplied 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 Le fatal to its prosperity. A Berlin letter in the Elberfeld Gazette, states that the King of PRUSSIA has rFjected 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 ire 16,335,011 inhabitants, of whom 1 0,037,277 are Protestants, 6,063,186 Roman Catholics, 14,508 Mennonites, 1,267 Greek Catholics, and 218,773 Jews.

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 6d. to 7d.; 100 Bahia at bid. to W.; 300 Egyptian at 6d. to B id.; 4,000 Surat at 30. to 4 al; and 20 Sea Islsod at Is. 6id. to ls.

The information concerning the growiug crops on the Continent is very favourable. New rye has already been brought to the French markets. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the sloth inst. was improving, orders to buy both home and foreign securi ties having been received. Dutch Two-and-a Half per Cents. closed at 63 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.

" There sailed from this port, a few days ago, on board the American ship Archibald Gracie, a party of miners, chiefly foreigners, for Guaymas.

The wine of Arrisona, for so this rich deposit is ca lled, became the subject of a rotractsd lawsuit; fi rs t, b e fore the Court of Guadalaxara, the decision of which was in favour of p the disc overers; t h en b e f ore the Counc il o f th e I n di es at Mad r id , wh i ch ma d e i t out to be the propert y o f th e Crown.

Th e Apaches hav e retna'necl since that period nodis:urbed masters of the distri c t i n which the mine of Arrisona is s i tuate d. " The object o f the present ex p e dition iq to enable the It mpany to work the mina, by d r iving back the Apaches. oonsists o f some :vo h un d re d men , who aro now on their way to the spot."
