ELECT. ,GENCE. CITY OF LONDON. Two meetings of the Liberal electors were held yesterday—the first at the warehouse of Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, Monument-yard, over which Mr. Keeling presided ; and the second at the Skin ners' Arms, Skinner-street, Bishopsgate, Mr. H. Pitman in the chair. Each meeting was addressed by the Liberal candidates, Messrs. Crawford, Goschen, and Lawrence, and by Mr. Rothschild, jun. The electors were strongly urged not to split their Totes, as by so doing they would endanger the return of the four Liberals. The hon. candidates having recapitulated their political opinions, reso lutions pledging the meeting to support them were in each case unanimously adopted. A meeting of the Conservative electors was held at Radley's Hotel ; Mr. Birch, a bank director, in the chair. The meeting was addressed by Messrs. Lyall and Fowler, who stated that if any reliance could be placed upon the result of the canvass their triumphant return was secured. On the motion of Mr. Gibb, seconded by Mr. Birch, a resolution of confidence in the two candidates was adopted. WESTMINSTER. Sir De Lacy Evans has sent to Mr. Stuart Mill's committee a subscription of £lOO towards that gentleman's expenses. MARYLEBONE. At 8 o'clock last evening Mr. Chambers, Q.C., met a very large number of the influential electors of this borough, at his central committee-room,Lang ham Hotel, Regent -street. Dr. Bachhoffner was chosen chairman, and he was supported by Mr. Healy, J.P., Mr. H. J. Collins, Mr. J. R. Collins, Mr. R. Furniss, Mr. F. Debenham, Mr. W. Robin son, Mr. F. Lomax, Mr. G. Bird, &c. Afte r a f ew preliminary remarks the chairman introduced Mr. Chambers, who was received with enthusiastic ap plause. Mr. Chambers commenced by giving a brief sketch of his former Parliamentary career, stating that he never gave a vote of which he had since been ashamed. The speaker then gave at great length his opinion of the foreign policy adopted by Government, which he applauded for its non-inter vention. Referring to his views on domestic ques tions, Mr. Chambers said it would be folly on his part to pledge himself to any particular scheme for lowering the franchise, yet he would willingly sup port any measure of reform which would give all a large share not only of the wealth and prosperity, but also in the electoral franchise of the country. Statesmen and theorists had advocated both lateral and vertical reform. He (the speaker) did not care in what shape it came, provided the scheme was not a rash one ; and, if not so, he would give it his strenuous support. For his part he would infinitely prefer that the people should raise themselves to the £lO franchise than it should lower to them. The speaker then dwelt upon the present restrictions upon trade and commerce, which he would do his best to do away with ; and, after referring to other subjects, he sat down amid great cheering. In answer to various questions then put, Mr. Cham bers said he was entirely opposed to church-rates, because he thought all religious bodies ought to be self-supporting, and the Church of England would be stronger and excite greater admiration if it sup ported itself. With regard to the ballot, he had not the slightest objection to it. It was a matter of im portance, but not specially of principle. The motion, " That this meeting, having heard the political opi• nions of Mr. Thos. Chambers, highly approve them and believe him to be a fit and proper representa tive of the borough of Marylebone in Parliament,' was then put and carried. FINSBURY. Last evening Mr. Alderman Lusk met a crowded meeting of the electors of the Holborn district, in the theatre of the London Mechanics' Institution, Chancery-lane, Mr. Edmund Beales in the chair. Mr. Lusk addressed the meeting at great length in explanation of his political views. He was prepared to vote for a large extension of the franchise, and to admit lodgers to the suffrage. lie would support the ballot, the total abolition of church rates, the aboli tion of capital punishment, the abolition of flogging in the army, and all measures tending to promote the education of the people. He would vote against the opening of museums on Sunday, and he was not prepared to support what was called the Permissive Bill. ABINGDON. In Abingdon the Liberals have just put forward Mr. llankey, of London, in conjunction with Mr. J. T. Norris, the present member. The Conservative candidates were Capt. Pimm, Mr. Huddleston, and Col. C. Lindsay. As the colonel was ascertained to enjoy the united support of the Conservative party, it was deemed prudent by the other two Conserva tives to withdraw, which they accordingly did on Saturday. The battle will, therefore, be fought be tween Mr. Norris, Mr. Hankey, and Col. Lindsay; but the return of the last is regarded as certain. AYLESBURY. Mr. N. M. de Rothschild, Liberal, and Mr. S. G. Smith, Conservative, commenced their canvass al most simultaneouslyon Monday morning, each being confident of success, even should the Conservatives at last bring out Mr. T. T. Bernard, their present sitting member, who has not yet issued any address, stating his intentions as to the future Parliament. BANBURY. The three candidates for the representation of Ban bury—Sir C. Douglas, the present member, Mr. Samuelson, Liberals, and Mr. Bell, Conservative— have determined to go to the poll. The split among the Liberals seem tohave been very advantageous to the Tory nominee,who,while his Liberal competitors have been fighting among themselves, has been can vassing the electors with great success. BEDFORD. The present members have just issued their ad dresses, announcing their intention of again offering themselves as candidates at the approaching election. BOSTON. The number of candidates in this borough is now reduced to three—Mr. J. W. Malcolm (Conserva tive), Mr. M. Staniland (Liberal), and Mr. T. Parry (Liberal). Mr. Gourley (Liberal Conservative) has retired. Mr. Malcolm's return is considered safe, but there will be a severe struggle between Mr. Staniland (who is one of the sitting members) and Mr. Parry. BTJCKINGFIAMSHIRE. Mr. R. Bateson Harvey attended the market ordinary at the White Hart Inn, Buckingham, on Saturday last, and his address to the assembly pro raised, if re-elected, to support those measures which he conceived would strengthen, and promote the interests of the agricultural, commercial, and industrial classes—including the remission of the malt-tax—and to oppose any attempts to sever the union of Church and State, to preserve which had always been the anxious care of a Conservative policy. CHRISTCHURCH. For the first time during the past 13 years there is an election contest at Christchurch. The return of Admiral Walcot (Conservative) is opposed by Mr. Edmund flaviland Burke, grand-nephew of the great Parliamentary orator. Mr. Burke is a Liberal and a strong supporter of Lord Palmerston's Government. Ho delivered his fourth public ad dress at Bournemouth, which is within the borough of Christchurch, yesterday evening. DENBIGH COUNTY. Sir Watkin William Wynn, of Wynnstay, Ruabon, who ho,s represented the county of Denbigh for 21 years, offers himself for re-election. He is ready, if again returned, "to consider any Go vernment measure upon the difficult question of church-rates, which, while providing for the due and proper support of the National Church, may yet respect the conscientious scruples of those who differ from it." He is also favourable to an exten sion of the franchise, as "the increased and increas ing intelligence of all classes of the community war rants this." He adds that he wholly " dissents from and will oppose any scheme similar to that lately before Parliament." He does not state in what way he thinks the franchise ought to be extended. DORSETSHME. Up to the present time there is no indication of a contest in the county of Dorset, an 1 the Hon. W. H. B. Portman (Liberal), Mr. J. Floyer and Mr. G. Sturt (Conservatives), the present members, will again be elected. The addresses of these gen tlemen will be issued this day. ESSEX. Every seat in Essex will be fiercely contested. In North Essex Mr. Du Cane and Major Beresford (Conservatives) have to deal with Sir T. B. Western (Liberal) ; in South Essex the two Conservative can didates, Mr. H. J. Selwin and Lord Eustace Cecil, are opposed by Mr. R. B. Baker (Liberal). At Col chester, Mr. P. 0. Papillon and Mr. T. J. Miller, the Conservative sitting members, are assailed by Mr. J. Gurdon Rebow (Liberal) ; at Harwich, Capt. Jervis and Mr. J. Belk, who are in the field as Con servatives, have to cope with Mr. M. Wills and Mr. Fitzjames Stephen (Liberals) ; and at Maldon, Mr. G. M. W. Peacocke and Mr. R. A. Earle (Conser vatives) are struggling with Mr. T. Sutton Western (Liberal). Yesterday being the 89th anniversary of the De claration of Independence of the United States, the event was celebrated by the Americans in London, atWillis's-rooms. Upwards of 200 ladies and gentle men sat down to dinner in the large room, which was decorated by a profuse display of American flags,with which were intermingled the British ensigns. A por trait of Washington hung above the chairman's head, and a bust of the same illustrious man was exhibited in the centre of the room. The chair was filled by the Hon. F. H. Morse, United States Consul at Lon don, and among the distinguished Americans present were Mr. Moran, United States Secretary of Lega tion ; Professor Day, of Cincinnati ; Lieut.-Colonel Audenreid, United States Army ; Mr. C. Field, and others. The English visitors included Professors Goldwin Smith and Cairnes, Mr. T. B. Potter, M.P., Sir J. Murray, &c. Upon the withdrawal of the cloth, The CHAIRMAN briefly reminded the company of the event which they had met to celebrate. That event, he said, was one ever to be remembered, not only by all Americans, but by all the world of freemen. That event had enabled them to establish a Govern ment which was not intended solely for the benefit of the governors, but for the welfare of the governed. Good men in all ages had devoted themselves even unto death for the liberties of their country, but never until the Declaration of Independence by the American States had any nation been built up on the principles of inalienable rights of man. Upon the present occasion after four years of intestine warfare it was a peculiar happiness for them to be able to meet together to commemorate not only the day which gave birth to their country, but the great vic tories which had restored its Union and abolished slavery. (Cheers.) America had now tried the strength of its institutions, and had found them suf ficient for the trial. Their noble banner had some times during the late struggle been dragged in the dust ; but the valour of the nation's heroes had up borne it until now, and once again it enclosed the whole country within its sheltering folds. (Cheers.) A number of letters of excuse for non-attendance were read, and, among others, from Mr. Adams, the American Ambassador, whose absence was caused by a family bereavement ; from Mr. J. Bright, Mr. J. S. Mill, and the Rev. B. Noel. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the toast of " The day we celebrate," and accompanied it with the fol lowing sentiment :—" The Declaration of Indepen dence, proclaimed by our patriotic fathers on the 4th of July, 1776. Its principles of self-government have been tested by the trials of both peace and war, and have made America great, prosperous, and free. May her sons ever maintain them unimpaired !" In calling upon Professor Cairnes, of Dublin, to respond to the toast, the Chairman remarked upon the fact that all the professors of political economy in this country had ever been friendly to the cause of the United States. Professor CAIRNES briefly responded, avowing that his sympathies had always been with the United States in their great trial, as he believed had also been the sympathy of the great body of the people of this country. The CHAIRMAN then gave " The President of the United States," with the sentiment—" Called unex pectedly to great and arduous duties, we have full faith in his patriotism and confidence that he will prove equal to every emergency." Mr. T. B. POTTER, M.P., responded, and said that from the moment when he learnt the sad cala mity which had deprived the United States of their Chief Governor, he had felt convinced that the man who had been elected by his fellow-citizens to fill the second post in the Government would be found worthy of the position, as the people of America never selected untried . men. (Cheers.) He rejoiced at being present on that occasion to congratulate the American people as being able at last to celebrate the complete Declaration of Independence which would make their country what it ought to be—the home of the free, and of the free only. (Cheers.) The strongest feelings of friendship towards Ame merica were entertained in this country, and he be lieved those sentiments were reciprocated. He had no apprehension of any disturbance of the present amicable relations, nor ought there ever to be any, for the two countries were not foreign countries to each other, but were branches of the same great family, speaking the same language, having the same institutions as the basis of their Governments, and having the same destiny to fulfil—the spread of civil and religious liberty wherever the English language is spoken. (Cheers.) The great bulk of the people of this country had stood by the people of the United States in their late awful struggle, and although there might still remain among us a class which viewed democratic institutions with horror, and which might have been willing to enter upon a crusade against them, yet that class of late years received a check from the increased intelligence, or from the 1 generous instincts, of the unrepresented working classes. (Cheers.) As an Englishman he would say now that the horrid war was over he hoped soon that the gaping wounds caused by that war might be healed, that the United States would be one people again, and that the victorious people of the North forgiving their erring brethren might lead them to renew their affection for a Government which had never been cruel to any. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next gave "The Queen," with the sentiment, " First in the affections of her people and equally respected by all true Americans." The toast was enthusiastically received by the company standing, with prolonged cheering and hearty accompaniment of the National Anthem. The toast of " Washington" was then given by the CHAIRMAN, and in accordance with the usual custom it was drunk by the company standing, in solemn silence. Another memorial toast, that of " Abraham Lin coln, Patriot, Statesman, Martyr," followed, and was received in the same impressive manner. The CHAIRMAN then gave " Our fallen heroes ; embalmed in the memory of the country they died to preserve." The world he said had learnt and no Am ierican would ever forget the great and glorious deeds of their Volunteer army. It was painful to remember how thousands of gallant men who had patriotically offered themselves for the defence of the Union had perished in the awful contest, and it was still more painful to remember how many had died not from wounds or in battle, but from cruel ties hardly ever before perpetrated by civilised men. It was sufficient to mention Libby, Belleisle, and Anderson to know that thousands of noble-hearted soldiers were penned up together, confined in nar row spaces within a stockade, where they were left to burrow like rats to shelter themselves from the cold, and at last to die from frost or starvation. Professor DAY, of Newhaven College, briefly re sponded. :he next toast was " The Military and Naval Forces of the United States." The nation will ever hold its defenders in. grateful remembrance. The Chairman, in the absence of the gentleman who was to have responded to the toast, invited Lieutenant-Colonel Audenreid, U.S.A., to under take that duty. Colonel AUDENREID, who appeared in uniform, and received a most enthusiastic reception, said he had marched through Georgia, but he was afraid to make a speech —a naive excuse which elicited loud laughter and applause—in reply to the toast of 'the Union," established by the wisdom of our fore fathers. In its perpetuity consists our strength and prosperity as a nation. Mr. Dion AN read an address, in which he stated that the people of the United States felt no desire to inflict vengeanCe upon the South, although per- BERLIN, July 2.

EYE. Sir E. C. Kerrison, the Conservative sitting mem ber, has issued his address to the electors of this little borough, by whom he will in all probability be again returned. Sir Edward observes in his address that the expiring Parliament has been enabled to pass many useful measures. He considers, however, that some diminution of the malt-tax must take place. He entirely approves the principle of non inter►ention in foreign affairs. He will not vote for any tampering with the franchise emanating from an individual member, but he is ready to sup port progress socially and politically. HERTFORD. An attempt has been made by a certain section of the electors to induce Mr. Robert Dimsdale, a gentleman residing in the neighbourhood, and who unsuccessfully opposed Mr. W. Cowper, when he accepted office in August, 1859, again to contest the representation of the boi ~ugh in the Conserva tive interest. Mr. Dimsdale has declined. KING'S LYNN. Sir Fowell Buxton, who had retired from a con test at Lynn, has re-appeared as a Liberal candidate. Lord Stanley's seat is considered safe, and Sir Fowell's opposition will be directed against the second Conservative candidate, the Hon. F. Wal pole. The Rev. Jermyn Pratt, of Royston-hall, has also issued a long address, in which he announces himself as a fourth candidate. Mr. Pratt's principal object in coming forward appears to be to try the question whether commoners in Holy Orders can sit in Parliament. He winds up his address by observ ing :—" Should you do me the honour to elect me as your representative in Parliament I have no doubt I should be eventually received into the House of Commons upon a resolution, as in the case of Baron Rothschild." MANCHESTER. The meeting of the electors on Monday evening who were instrumental in returning Sir John Potter and Mr. J. A. Turner, in 1857, was composed mainly of Conservatives. It was stated that Mr. W. R. Callender, Mr. Murray Gladstone, and Mr. Bennett (the Mayor) had been solicited to come forward for Manchester, but had declined. On the invitation of the meeting, Mr. Bagehot, of the Eco nomist, addressed the meeting as a candidate, but was somewhat rudely and uncourteously set aside, and a call made for Mr. Callender. Mr. Callender regretted that his private engagements were a bar to his acceptance of the honour, and moved that the Mayor and Mr. Murray Gladstone be again solicited to stand. This resolution was unanimously agreed to. MERTYHR AND ABERDARE. The Right Hon. H. A. Bruce, the sitting member for the united boroughs of Merthyr and Aberdare, has issued an address to the electors soliciting re election. He states that he has represented those boroughs for 12 years, and does not deem any de claration of his political opinions necessary. Mr. Elderton, a solicitor of the Temple, has issued an address announcing himself as an opponent to Mr. Bruce, He advocates advanced Liberal opinions. Mr. Bruce's popularity and influence among the electors, however, is so great that there is not the slightest probability of a contest. NORWICH. Up to yesterday afternoon Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald, who had been named as the second Conservative candidate, had failed to make his appearance, and it is now hinted that he will not come at all. The Conservatives still, however, announce their deter mination to contest bath seats. /4r. Waters is pro ceeding with his canvass. Mr. Warner and Sir W. Russell, the Liberal candidates, commenced their campaign last evening. NOTTINGII.4.II. The election is causing immense excitement, and party feeling never at any former period ran higher. A memorial to Sir G. Grey was adopted on Monday, and forwarded to the Home Secretary yesterday morning, praying him to take steps to preserve order in the town on the days of nomination and election. The detachments of the 83d Foot which were sent for on the night of the riot are now esta blished in the old barracks, formerly used by the cavalry regiments stationed here. All the four can didates were busy in the town on Monday, and each addressed the electors in the evening. Early in the morning, Mr. Ackland, agent for Sir R. Clifton, issued a notice alleging that Messrs. Paget and Morley were pursuing illegal practices, and caution ing the electors respecting bribery, which, he asserts, is being practised by the supporters of the two can didates mentioned. The writ is expected here on Friday morning, in which case the nomination will most probably take place on the following Monday. POOLE. There are several candidates for the representation of Poole. Mr. Henry Danby Seymour, one of the present members, offers himself for re-election. Mr. Charles Waring, contractor, of London ; Mr. W. T. Haly, barrister, London ; and Captain Bashford, of Spring-grove, Middlesex, have also issued ad dresses to to the electors. Mr. 'Waring is a Liberal, Mr. Haly professes an independent policy, and Cap tain Bashford, Conservative. Mr. Haly will address the constituents this evening. It is understood that Mr. Stephen Lewen, of Boston, Lincolnshire, en gineer, is about to come forward, and although up to this time he has not issued an address, the electors have been canvassed in his favour. There is every prospect of a very exciting contest. THETFORD. Mr. Alderman Dakin has appeared as a Liberal candidate for this borough. Mr. Dakin has issued his address, in which he avows his adhesion to the principles of civil and religious liberty, his readiness to support an extension of the franchise, and the desire to afford, if returned, an independent support t o the administration of Lord Palmerston. WAREHAM. The two candidates for Wareham are Mr. J. S. W. S. E. Drax, a Conservative, and Mr. J. H. Calcraft, son of the late member and a Liberal. It is agreed by all persons that there will be a close run between them, and that the successful candidate will have but a small majority. WOODSTOCK. Both candidates for the representation of Wood stock—Mr. Heury Barnett, of Glympton-park, in the Conservative interest, and Mr. Mitchell Henry, on the Liberal side—express their confidence in the result of the contest. In a statement recently pub lished it is asserted that some time ago Lord Alfred Churchill intimated to Mr. Money and, about the same period, to Mr. Barnett that circumstances had occurred which would prevent his coming forward as a candidate for Woodstock. Mr. Barnett then intimated to Lord Alfred Churchill his intention to offer himself, and his lordship said he would be glad to give him every assistance in his power. Mr. Barnett conferred with the electors favourable to his return, but did not take any further steps until Lord Alfred Churchill had communicated to his THE SUN, LONDO.N, WEDNESDAY EVENING, 3 ULY 5, 1865. friends his intention to withdraw from the represen tation, he then thought the time had arrived when he might fairly announce himself as a candidate. Entertaining the same political views as Mr. Barnett, it appeared very natural for the D uke of Marlborough, who has some interest in Woodstock, to favour his claims and wish him success. In consequence, how ever, of his having done so, Mr. Barnett is stigmatised as the Duke's nominee. Up to the present time no one can point to a single instance in which the Duke has in any way interfered with the electors. The letter from the Duke of Marlborough in The Sun of Friday has had the effect of reassuring the Conservatives, and they are consequently redoubling their efforts to secure Mr. Barnett's return. Anniversary of American Independence. haps they might feel that the leaders of the rebellion did deserve punishment as a warning to future con spirators. He believed that the latent Union feel ing in the South was being developed, and he had no doubt that the people of those States were content to accept the present condition of things, and to apply themselves to remedy the evils that had been caused by the war. Several other toasts were proposed, and the pro ceedings, which did not comme nce un til l a t e, were protracted beyond midnight. The musical entertainment devolved upon Mrs. Howard Paul, who volunteered the " Star Spangled Banner ;" Miss Ransford, Miss E. Hughes, Mr. Whiffen, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Ransford. The toastmaster was Mr. Toole. Treaty of Commerce between the Zollve rein and Great Britain, STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, July 4.—There has been a very quiet market for all kinds of shipping yarns, and to effect sales lower prices would have to be submitted to. There has been some little business, at a decline of 2d. per lb. from the highest rates of last week. Business is very tame at the close. In home -trade yarns there has been but little business doing, and the market is quiet, with prices decidedly in favour of buyers. In cloth we have been almost entirely without business since Friday, and in all classes of goods buyers have been entirely abstaining from operations. This has been the case not so much as a question:of price, but because of an entire absence of demand, and of the discouraging aspect of the market. The high price of cotton and yarn necessitate prices on the part of manufacturers which it is almost hopeless to seek at present, and many of them are seriously talking of a more limited production. At present they are met in the mar ket with re-sale lots at various, but generally low, prices which it is impossible to compete with. The prices of such goods are certainly lower than they could now be produced at. In this state of things quotations are merely nominal, but even at the lowest rates quoted there is no disposition to buy. We have had altogether a flat market, with but an exceedingly small amount of business. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report_of this_day's cloth market : SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. " Since last Tuesday there has been a complete absence of demand for goods; India buyers especially have ab stained from operations. The firm position of material necessitates high quotations from makers, but the number of re-sale lots offered render all prices quite nominal. To day our market has been quite without action." LEEDS, 4th.—Election proceedings appear rather to interfere with the current of trade, and to-day's markets in the cloth-halls have been quiet so far as the sales of cloth were concerned. The purchases were chiefly small quantities of plain and ordinary cloths, with a sprinkling of various kinds of winter fabrics. The sale of the latter would probably be greater were the weather less hot. The export houses are mostly doing a good business for the season ; and though the home trade is rather quiet, it is satisfactory in its prospects, and the manufac turers are well employed. The prices of both wools and goods are steady. NOTTINGHAM, 4th.—There was a small attend ance at the Exchange-hall to-day, and the demand for lace yarns was less active, the prices of last week being for the most part 'made. For hosiery yarns the demand was by no means active, and prices underwent no important alteration. Thrown silks in demand, and prices tended upwards ; spun silks were also dearer. The demand for brown nets was quiet, owing to the very high price of the raw ma terial ; rates remained without material change. ROCHDALE, 3d.—The buyers at to-day's market have been much more spirited than last week. Many of them operated with freedom in both plain and fancy goods. The fancy department was scarcely ever in a more brisk condition, and manu facturers are pressed on all hands not only to com plete current orders with all speed, but to under take fresh contracts for short-time delivery. The demands of the home trade have not only been con , siderable to-day, but during the greater part of last week the same parties were continually doing busi ness at the warehouses. The Yorkshire trade keeps dull, and manufacturers have such prices to pay for both wool and cotton that they cannot make any thing marketable at the prices which buyers are willing to give. The high price of wool is so stoutly maintained that consumers only purchase on com pulsion, and in comparatively small lots. HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Report.) In the week that ended on Saturday, July 1, the births in London and ten other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,446—the deaths 2,881. The annual rate of mortality in the week in those eleven towns was 26 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 1,004 boys and 965 girls, in all 1,969 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1855-64, the average number, corrected for increase of population, was 1,965. The deaths registered in London during the week are 1,455. The week is the 26th of the year, and the average number for that week in ten years, 1855-64, is, with a correction for increase of popu lation, 1,242. The actual number exceeds the esti mated mortality by 213. In the last three weeks the deaths were, succes sively, 1,204, 1,359, and 1,455. The increase arose in the deaths of young persons, for in the same periods the deaths that occurred under 20 years of age were 602, 769, and 835. The deaths from diar rhoea in those three weeks were 93, 187, and 184. Of these 184 cases, 154 occurred to children in their first year, 20 to those one year old and less than two years, none occurred at two or three years of age, one at four years, one at ten, one at forty and under sixty years, and seven at sixty years and upwards. There were 27 deaths from diarrhoea in the west dis tricts, 48 in the north districts, 21 in the central, 55 in the east, and 33 in the south districts, namely, those on the south side of the river. It will be ob served that though the population of the north or east districts is less than that of the south, the deaths from diarrhoea were more numerous in the two first-mentioned divisions than in the last. The complaint was fatal in 19 cases in Islington, in 16 in Pancras, in Bin Mile-end Old Town, and Bin Poplar. A water-side labourer, aged 48 years, died on 29th June, at 22, Willmott's-buildings, Kent-road, of " cholera Asiatica," after two days' illness. The five following fatal street accidents by car riages were registered in the week :—ln Shacklewell, a coal-dealer, aged 64 years, was killed by a fall from a cart. In South Hackney, the son of a plas terer, aged 7 years, was run over. A carman, aged 40 years, was run over in Bermondsey-street by a van. A fish-dealer, aged 35 years, died in Wes minster Hotel, from injury by a van. The son of a ship-rigger, aged two years, was brought to the London Hospital from Limehouse, where he had been run over by a cart. A lad, aged 16 years, died from an ear of corn introduced into his right lung. TIMES.--After the debate in the House of Com mons on Monday night our readers will not be sur prisedto learn that the Lord Chancellor has tendered his resignation, and that Lord Palmerston has ad vised her Majesty to accept it. It was announced yesterday that Lord Westbury would only continue to hold the Great Seal for two days until the urgent business of his department was despatched. The motion of Mr. Bouverie was undoubtedly one of want of confidence. He professed in the most em phatic manner that he had no confidence in the Lord Chancellor, and had that profession been omitted the motion spoke plainly enough for itself. In the Ed munds case, the fault of granting the pension to a most unworthy officer was divided in something like equal proportions between the Lord Chancellor and the Committee of the House of Lords. Had the Chancellor done his duty in laying before the committee the evidence against Mr. Edmunds which had officially come to his hand, or had the com mittee done their duty by instituting an investiga tion which the knowledge they possessed opened to them, the mischief could never have happened, while in the case of Mr. Wilde the whole responsi bility fell upon the Chancellor alone. If we com pare the conduct of the committees of the two houses which sat on these two cases we find nothing to ob ject to in the conduct of the committee of the House of Lords, and very little indeed to approve in that of the committee of the House of Commons. The com mittee of the House of Lords pronounced a distinct censure on all that part of the Chancellor's con duct which seemed fairly liable to animadversion —on his permitting Mr. Edmunds to retire with heavy charges proved against him, and on his with holding from the committee of the House of Lords the evidence on which the pension was ultimately. cancelled. The committee of the House of Com mons pronounced a verdict which as we showed at the time was not supported by the facts which they culled out of the evidence and introduced into their Report, and which is still less supported by the whole evidence from which those facts were selected. The acquittal of the Chancellor of all charge ex cept that of haste and want of caution in granting a pension to Mr. Wilde grated harshly on the public ear ; and we only anticipated what has proved to be the opinion of every impartial person when we said that, on the committee's own showing, a very different conclusion followed necessarily from the evidence before them. There were, in fact, three substantial charges ageinst the Lord Chancellor, on all of which the committee acquitted him in order to find him guilty of a fourth, which, in a great magi strate so fully occupied and necessarily dependent on the assistance of others, can scarcely be called a charge at all. First, the Chancellor was charged with being cognisant of the corrupt practices of his son ; secondly, that, although not cognisant of those cor rupt practices, the Chancellor ought not to have given any weight to the recommendation of his son in favour of Mr. Welch ; to which we may add, as collaterally springing out of it, the appointment of that son, who had been, as he says, " a disgrace and a source of infinite sorrow an d reproach to him for the last ten years," to a Registrarship in the Court of Bankruptcy; and, thirdly, the granting of a pen sion to Mr. Wilde, in face of his grave delinquencies, on a certificate which any medical man might grant, with equal propriety, to any middle-aged gentleman in the kingdom. Of all these charges the committee of the House of Commons acquitted the Lord Chancellor, to find him guilty only of haste and want of caution in granting a pension to Mr. Wilde—two faults of which assuredly he was not guilty ; for haste in this case means precipitancy, and want of caution means absence of reflection, neither of which can justly be charged to the Lord Chancellor, who had well deliberated befor he acted, and was not in any way taken by surprise. It is worth while to consider for a moment the probable cause of this miscarriage. The committee of the House of Lords was appointed in the usual manner—indeed, it may be considered as extravagantly favourable to the Chancellor, because it contained no less than four of his colleagues, men of honour and intelligence, 'but naturally disposed to take a lenient view of his faults. The committee of the House of Commons was appointed with a view to the single virtue 3f impartiality ; it was chosen of what are called "fair men," that is, gen tlemen of high character and undoubted integrity, who are considered to be more free than the mass of the house from the influence of party bias and poli tical animosity. To this committee were added two eminent lawyers, without votes, to conduct the case on either side. The result is curious, for while the Lords' committee, appointed on the old principle of taking a member alternately from each side, has discharged its duty in a manner to which nobody can take exception, the committee appointed with a special view to fairness has produced a report which even the Lord Advocate did not venture to propose that the house should be content with. He, indeed, annexed to the words of the committee a very grave and pointed censure, implied in the recommendation that some further check should be placed by law upon the grant of pensions to the holders of legal offices ; in other words, that the conduct of the Lord Chancellor had been such as to render it neces sary that no future Chancellor should be allowed to possess the power which he had enjoyed and abused. It was a strange spectacle to see the members of the committee rising one by one and giving their assent to the amendment of Mr. Bouverie, which, coupled with the speech by which it was introduced, entirely. ' negatived the finding of the committee, and substi tuted for it a verdict of Guilty, on the very points on which the committee had pronounced a verdict of acquittal. This seems to complete the proof, if any fresh proof were wanting, that these gentlemen, acting, no doubt, with the best intentions, were not equal to the investigation which was intrusted to them. The truth is that at the time in which we live party spirit is so languid, and the business of life has become so intricate and complicated, that in an investigation of this kind we have much more need of ability than impartiality. The great power of public opinion, the discussions of the Press, and the high feeling of honour which, we are happy to think, actuates public men, guarantee fairness, but give us no security for vigour of mind or keenness of insight. To the House of Commons as a body the greatest credit is due for its conduct inthis case. It really seems as if, in their desire to act fairly be tween the public whom they represent and a great magistrate of commanding ability and considerable public services, they had thrown aside the conside rations of party and risen to the height of judicial impartiality. They acquitted the Lord Chancellor of any knowledge of the corruption of his son, and they convicted him, not of haste and want of caution in the abstract, like their Committee, but of " a laxity of practice and a want of caution with regard to the public interests in sanctioning the grant of retiring pensions to public officers against whom grave charges were pending, which in the opinion of this house are calculated to discredit the adminis tration of his great office." On the second charge, that of acting on the recommendation of a son who had been " a dis g race and a source of i n fi n it e sorrow and reproach to him during the last ten years," the house pronounced no opinion ; and, although we have not hesitated to do so, we do not the least question the propriety of their silence, especially as the censure which they thought fit to pronounce was not accompanied, like the Resolution of the Committee, with a sweeping acquittal on all other charges. We confess it is always with very serious ap prehension that we see a personal question with which the prospects of political parties may be considered to be mixed up submitted to such an Assembly as the House of Commons. History informs us that it has not been in its judicial capacity that our great Assembly has gathered its brightest laurels. There is danger that the individual should be sacrificed to the heats and interests of the moment, or that the welfare of the public should be sacrificed to con sideration for the individual ; and if this danger always exists, more especially is it to be apprehended when the House sits, as at the present moment, in daily expectation of dissolution. The House of Commons has, we think, happily avoided both ex tremes, and, while sindicating with unmistakable earnestness the cause of public morality and in tegrity, has refused to deal with more than was absolutely necessary with the faults which it found it impossible to overlook. It is only due to Mr. Bouverie to record that in coming forward as he did he has done good service to the country and the Liberal party, of which he is an honest and con sistent member, by relieving them from the appear ance of unanimously postponing the public interest to the ties of party and the mistaken necessities of Government. PosT.--Yesterday the Americans of the United States celebrated the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and congratulated themselves on the restoration of the Union. The former event has lost all political significance. After the lapse of nearly four score and ten years the secession of the British colonies has not only been forgiven, but almost forgotten in this country. The rebellion we attempted to put down succeeded, and the Declara tion of Independence records our defeat. We ac cepted the fait accompli, and Englishmen of the present day have no reason to regret the discretion which their ancestors exercised. The reconstruction of the lately divided republic is a matter of imme diate importance. We trust that the Americans will be able to carry out an object for the attainment of which they have made tremendous sacrifices. It is, however, one thing to pour out libations and deliver speeches on the restoration of the Union, and an other to give practical effect to the idea. Nor can it be dissembled that the military subjugation of the Southern States was, as compared with the work which remains to be done, an easy operation. There are problems war fails to solve, knots that are not to be cut by the sword. For a time it might be possible to coerce States that have noonger the heart or strength for resistance. But the policy that compelled obedience and enforced loyalty would in evitably militate against the reconciliation on which alone the Union can be permanently restored. On the other hand, there are no doubt some grounds for hesitating to make peace with the South on con ditions admitting of the redevelopment of its re sources. The revision of the Federal constitution is at once an experiment and a precedent. That which is now done by one partymight hereafter be undone by another party. There is, therefore, hard, solid reason in the argument that reconstruction on the basis determined upon can only be secured by mea sures which, it is assumed, the desired end would jus tify. The Southern spirit is not dead, and sleeping it may still be dangerous. But the political difficulties, formidable as they are, might possibly be reduced to manageable proportions if they were not so terribly aggravated by social evils. It has been truly remarked that slavery is a curse which pursues those who trade upon it from generation to genera tion, and in point of fact the emancipated negroes constitute the great obstacle to the consolidation of the national unity. Their corpses are said to en cumber the woods of the famine-stricken State of Georgia ; and in Richmond they are being driven to work with the bayonet. These poor wretches are now told that they are " men and brothers," not to be kept and cared for as the personal property of planters, who had an interest in their material well being ; but to them the change has brought un speakable misery. Although it is improbable that the negro question was considered in the festivities of the Fourth of July, it is the primary question to be answered. Somebody must feed, and clothe, and govern the wild black men who are swarming over the face of the land. Philanthropy should look to it, or the abolition of slavery will be anything but a boon to the emancipated slaves. To starve them, into crime, and to hang them out of the way, is a mode of provision scarcely compatible with the pro fessions of the Abolitionists. That, however, is what idleness and license are leading to. To give them small estates, and to admit them to the elective franchise, is a proposition which may approve itself to charitable people on this side of the Atlantic ; but the Americans may not unreasonably entertain objection to the suggestion on the score of race and property. It is exceedingly probable that, similarly situated, we should be equally intolerant. One of the organs of the Abolition party has, in deed, intimated that for some time past we have been fixed on the horns of this dilemma in Ireland, and amiably menaces the Southern gentry with the fate of the Irish. All we can say is that we sin cerely hope it will not be worse. But one thing would appear to be evident, even upon the showing of the Abolitionists themselves--the negroes must be provided for, and specially protected by the Go vernment, or they must remain in a condition of semi-slavery. It is very well for their so-called friends to affirm that they should be received in society on a footing of equality, and it may be com petent for Congress to pass a law regulating the rate of wages to be paid to them ; but the rest clearly depends on public opinion and the state of the labour market. Now, the weight of public opinion, in the North as well as in the South, is indisputably averse from the logical consequences of the abolition of slavery. It is not a party question. There is generally an irrepressible repugnance to associating with the negroes. This may not be right, but it is natural. According to the theory of the Aboli tionists an emancipated slave shouM be eligible to sit in Congress, and to become President of the United States. But as it is, a person with negro blood in his veins is shunned. Of course in time the feeling might be modified, but its modification would necessarily to some extent change the national character, and that is also not an imma terial consideration. Without going into any phy siological argument, there is prudence as well as delicacy in th e avers i on t h at i s man i fested. It is not a mere prejudice, but a deep-rooted conviction which is susceptible of a rational explanation. In truth, therefore, the reconstruction of the Union has been complicated by the revision of the Constitution. It is plain, too, that the secession of the Southern States, and the course of the war, enabled a comparatively small minority of the popu lation to take measures the tendency of which was to re-establish the republic on purely democratic principles, and consequently with a more centralised system of administration. So that while the negro element presents the main obstacle to be overcome, or rather perhaps the point from which the majority of the people may endeavour to defend the institu tions that date from the Declaration of Independence, the reconstruction of the Union as proposed would be an entirely new achievement. It may be agree able to observe the Fourth of July as a holiday, but under a revised constitution, the Republic Wash ington declared independent will have entered into another phase of its existence. For more than 80 years it controverted scepticism, standing firmly on the ground its great Founder took up, and it has now come victorious out of a gigantic conflict. The future, however, is beyond the scan of ordinary po litical prescience. COUNTRY MARKETS. L IVERP 0 OL-T GESDAY.

SERIOUS BALLOON ACCIDENT AT BELFAST. BELFAST, Tuesday.—Between 5 and 6 o'clock last night, Mr. Coxwell ascended in his balloon "Research," from the Botanic Gardens at Belfast. He was accompanied by 11 gentlemen, one of whom was a reporter belonging to a Belfast newspaper, and the ascent was witnessed by about 10,000 persons. The balloon was lowered near the Carnlongh Hills. The voyageurs were in great danger, owing to the valve at the top not acting properly. Several persons were severely bruised, and in one or two instances several ribs were broken. All except two gentlemen had succeeded in getting out, when the balloon suddenly went up again, carrying the two travellers with it. Up to nine o'clock this (Tuesday) morning no tidings had been received as to what bad become of the balloon or its occupants. Births.
