LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1865. - Mr. DISRAELI'S speech at Buckinghamshire is always one of the noticeable events at election time. There is none of the clamour of opposition or the excitement of controversy, but a fair opportunity of discussing events and speculating on policy. On this occasion the right hon. gentleman had much to say, because six years have elapsed since he last addressed the electors of Buckinghamshire. These have been eventful years in the history of the country, and afford ample opportunity for re flection and comment. Of course Parliamentary Reform occupied a prominent place in this address, and Mr. DISRAELI had good cause to remark on the fatal mistake which the Liberals had made in rejecting the measure proposed by Lord DERBY'S Government. In thwarting their opponents they defeated their own plans, and sent promises to the winds. It was understood that the measure should have a fair and candid reception, considering the peculiar circumstances in which Lord DERBY was placed, none of his opponents in public life coming forward to serve the Crown and country, and Re form being promised. Instead of this, as Mr. DIS RAELI observed, "it got no reception whatever ; it was not allowed to go into committee." Such proceeding was unworthy of the representatives of the country, aud, like all mean and selfish acts, it brought no real gain to the cause, only discredit to the schemers. Now that time has cooled down the asperities of the time, the general feeling of the country is not so averse to the principle upon which that Bill was founded as some captious individuals made out at the period of its introduction. Certainly the Conservatives have the advantage of being able to refer to their measure as a practical effort, on their part, to improve the representation of the country, - while their opponents can only indulge in generali ties, and take refuge in abusing what others did, and what they did not or could not do themselves. It must be remembered also that loud and long were the exultations that arose when the majority sealed the fate of the Ministers and their measure, yet, judging by the test of time, which has most cause to be ashamed—the Liberal or Conservative ? Mr. DISRAELI had no occasion to dread facing his constituents ; but discretion is the better part of valour, and doubtless that is why the prime mover in the affair has taken refuge in a place where he is sheltered from the storms of fate, and not subjected to the impertinent remarks of scrutinising electors with long memories and inconvenient ideas of jus tice and fair-play. Mr. DISRAELI very truly said that every one ought to have definite opinions on the subject of the " distribution of political power, which is concerned in any measure of Pariamentary Reform." This is exactly what it is, and it is not fitting that so much political capital should be made out of what is, in truth, a national question of importance. Mr. DISRAELI spoke very fairly concerning the amount of credit due to Ministers in conducing to the general welfare of the country, but he also satirised with no less force the absurd lengths to which some went in this matter. In drawing the requisite line of discrimination the right hon. gentleman said, " I don't believe the good harvest we enjoy has been produced by any Cabinet Council whatever; I don't think the gold discoveries nor the wonderful consquction of rail roads which now interlace the country are due to Downing-street, nor that those enterprises have been carried on by the capital and energy of the Government." There are also noticeable drawbacks to observe in the midst of our so-called universal prosperity, and these were appropriately mentioned in this speech• Concerning commercial prosperity there have been several failures of late, which prove that its condition is not really so sound as has been stated ; and as for the general condition of " pau peristh," Mr. DISRAELI might well animadvert upon it, and say that it was a subject of anxiety, if not of apprehension. Mr. GLADSTONE'S financial achieve ments are discussed at some length here, and Mr. DISRAELI, in alluding to the repeal of the paper duty, said it was looked upon as a great " financia feat." The right hon. gentleman declared that he had been opposed to all excise duties from his earliest years long before he knew Mr. GLADSTONE ; there fore he justly claims some share of the credit and reminds his hearers that it is impossible for the Liberals to say that the Conservatives would never have bestowed such a benefit upon the country, when the Minister who repealed the duty gave as a reason that " his predecessor had pledged the house of Commons." In reference to the tea duties, also, Mr. DISRAELI said that, in 1852, he was the first who attempted to grapple with the tea duties. Then, as to the income-tax, the right hon. gentle man with truth declared that he left the income tax at the lowest rate at which it ever stood. Therefore it is indeed absurd to say that the two great features of the Budget of the present year, which have gained it applause and imparted to it suc cess, are entirely dtre to the judgment and skill of the Liberal party.. There is doubtless plenty to which the present Chancellor of the Exchequer may deservedly claim credit, but it is not consistent that his sup porters should monopolise everything and not render themselves ridiculous by falsifying facts, and alter ing things to suit their plans and purposes. Re- specting the Union Chargeability Bill, Mr. DISRAELI said that he had always been oPposed to the law of settlement, though . Mr. VILLIERS'S bill should have been arranged, in a less arbitrary fashion. A Conservative' foreign policy the right hon gentleman declares. to be ". one that believes that the tranquillity of the world is the interest of Eng land, that peace is the normal state of man, and that in the tranquillity of the world the best objects of English ambition may be legitimately attained." So far this illustration accords with the general sentiments of the community, and accords well with the conclusion arrived at by philosophers, patriots, and statesmen. Mr. DISRAELI showed that while the present Ministry took such immense credit to themselves for' the preservation of peace they had en deavoured in three quarters to stir up a general war. It may be fairly admitted that the right hon. gen tleman, in his long and comprehensive address, suc ceeded in the objects which he set before himself at its commencement ; he vindicated -his own party from the unjust, superficial, and unfounded imputa tions whieh were made against them. This he con sidered, howeVer, as secondary to his desire to draw the minds of his hearers from transient and momentary politics to the vital principles which are now at stake, and upon the settlement of which so much depends. " I address you," he observed, " in the spirit which becomes a public man who is not a slave to party," and certainly that is the only manner in which to impress and influence. Mr.. DISRAELI is one of those men who belong of necessity to the House of Commons ; his place is there, and his voice must be heard in all that concerns the vital interests of the community. Many will differ from him in much that he has said in this discourse, but those who are impartial will adMit that he has spoken out in a straightforward manner, and not given way to those irritative expressions respecting political opponents that some persons similarly situ ated are prone to indulge in. He has taken a higher view of public affairs than to regard them merely in the light of party schemes of aggran disement, and thus his speech may serve as an excellent summary of events when the momentary excitement of the present elections is over. It is earnest in its eloquence, and brilliant in its descrip-, tions of the chief events that have occurred since the last time he met the electors of Buckingham. It is amusing to notice, amid the excitement of an election, which is being fought with unusual eagerness, and contested inch by inch with a reso lution not witnessed for many years, how very similar are the professions put forward on either side. The moderation which has vanished from the hustings has taken refuge in the addresses, which are indited after the fashion of a royal speech, which, while it conveys the most minute information re specting remote localities and insignificant measures, skims lightly over the state of European politics and the imminent conflicts of parties at home. If the names of the leaders are not men tioned a casual reader of one of the ad dresses or the speeches might very easily be puzzled as to which party the writer or speaker be longed to. A writer in the current number of the Quarterly remarks that we are much nearer the era of universal concord than any one had imagined. The people of England in these happier days are all of one mind ; they are all for " a well-consi dered measure of reform," and are all " opposed to any revolutionary change ;" every one is in favour of a policy of non-intervention, and most people are attached members of the Established Church. There is no difference of opinion either as to the expediency of retrenchment or as to the necessity of extending ifonly, "so far as not to interfere with the efficiency of the public service." If it were not for the malt tax there would hardly be a single dis cord to disturb this all-pervading harmony." This surprising concord is, •in fact, due to the progress of Liberal opinions throughout the coun try. Our Conservative contemporary, the Quar terly, does not indeed draw any such inference, but it is patent to any careful and unprejudiced ob server. With very few exceptions no candidate is bold enough to set - his face against all Reform, while the vexed question of Free Trade is alto gether settled. On Church questions there is, indeed, some difference of opinion, but the religious intolerance of old has passed away, never, it may be hoped, to yeturn. The divisions on the Reform question are now a difference of degree. The Ballot, unfortunately, has more foes than friends on both sides. The duration of Parliaments is a matter seldom brought forward, and of little vital importance ; while all agree that the present system of representation is partial and unfair, only the i one wishes to extend it in breadth and the other in depth. The Quarterly approves of Mr. DISRAELI'S " fancy franchises," but foresees national misfor tunes from the adoption of the £6 standard. Mr. BRIGHT declaims upon the injustice of excluding so large a body of intelligent citizens as that measure would adMit, but wishes to exclude the very nume rous and still more educated class who inhabit part of a house. The hon. member for Birmingham, although professedly the friend of the working classes, and therefore, by inference, the friend of frugal i ty an d providence, also took exception to Lord STANLEY'S suggestion of a savings' bank franchise. But, while every one has some 'scheme of his own which is to save the country, while his neighbour's is infallibly to bring it to national ruin, there is at least a singular unanimity in the admis sion that some measure for the extension of the franchise is imperatively called for. " There can be no doubt," says the writer in the Quarterly, " that the general feeling of the country is strongly Conser vative," and so far as Conservatism is opposed to the despotic and democratic systems of France and America, this is true.

They have learned to value it by reading and observation, by comparison with the systems of other countries, and the dangers of social freedom and individual liberty which are possible under other forms of government. Independently of all this, they have been brought up under it, and cherish towards • it those strong feelings of attachment which Englishmen feel towards their own home, their own country, and their own insti tutions. The modern inventions of democracy have no charm for the sober, loyal English mind, accus tomed to deliberate carefully and to keep to its con victions. The popular enthusiasm for sweeping changes, the wild belief in sudden political regene ration which we sometimes see exercising so powerful an influence over Continental States have little effect on Englishmen. They adopt no new method which they do not mean to adhere to, and therefore they are naturally cautious about hasty movements. But while any violent or revolutionary measure which would completely disorganise our existing arrrange ments is little likely to find favour with the body of the people, the desire for Reform, which is in fact Con servative, is very general. The thoughtful and en lightened see the necessity of adapting our political system to the growth of the nation, and by ad mitting to the franchise those classes which haire grown up since the passing of the Reform Bill of 1832, they are really acting in the spirit of the Constitution, which designed that ever class of intelligent and responsible subjects should be repre sented. No one pretends to say that the Bill of '32 affected the working of the Constitution. The Reformed Parliament was in fact much nearer the beau ideal of an English constitutional assembly than the corrupt House of Sir ROBERT WALroLE's time, or a good many other Parliaments which fill a somewhat undignified page of our English History. Strange to say, it is this very conviction of the necessity for a careful and enlightened measure of reform that militates against the success of the Whigs in the present contest. With the recollec tion of 1859 fresh in their memories, constituencies find it impossible to believe their professions or put faith in their pledges. They have, as a party, trifled so long with the popular wishes that they have lost that prestige which their supposed advocacy of popular principles had secured for them. The old distich which tells us that—. " An open foe may prove a curse, But a pretended friend is worse," makes us look with some suspicion on the pretended " friends " of reform. The Conservatives promise little, but that little they are likely to fulfil. There is no limit to the pledges of the Whigs, for the very simple reason that they never mean to fulfil them, so their " brave words" may as well be sufficiently emphatic ! Allowing the Government of the country to remain in the same hands—a contingency which no one contemplates—till 1871, should we have a Reform Bill from these ardent Liberals? The electors have very good reason to doubt it. Among the more striking incidents of the cam paign now in progress is the substitution of a Libe ral-Conservative for a Liberal in Lord PALMER STON'S own borough of Tiverton. The contest between Mr. WALROND and Mr. DENMAN was a very close one, and the majority by which the former gentleman secured his seat was narrow, but the fact of his return by so small a borough, and one too where the Government might naturally be sup posed to be predominant, is not without significance. The Whigs are likely to learn that their trimming policy which has secured the undisturbed posses sion of their seats during the last six years, has dis gusted both sides, and we hope that this experience may not be without its profit both to the old mem bers who retain their seats in the new House, and in the yet untried aspirants to parliamentary fame.

An exquisite number of this very charming periodical—but just now issued from the press—con tains within it a couple of pictures, certain under any circumstances to be welcome, as flowers in May, to every true-hearted playgoer, no matter what the time of the year or of the theatrical season that witnessed their publication. One of them is a view of the garden-facade of The Royal Dramatic College at Woking—a noble and picturesque edifice worthy, no less from an architectural than from a purely philanthropic point of view, of being thus photographed. But—the other of these two beautiful illustrations That is to our mind, if you like, the attraction of the number. It is a portrait group that must alone of itself (if this had been No. I. instead of No. IX.) have made the reputation of " Naudin's Portfolio," as one of the most remarkable photographic serials ever given to the public since the invention of the art of pho tography. The mere selection of the subject of this group is of itself an eloquent tribute to the genius of one of the most accomplished artists upon the stage, himself the Master of the Royal Dramatic College just mentioned. And it is a tribute, moreover, to the genius of Benjamin Webster' such as is all the more welcome to our selves, individually (as claiming to be among the number of that distinguished actor's heartiest appre ciators), because of its representing him in what we must always regard as about the very finest of his impersonations. And that ? Who will not guess the character upon the instant? To wit, TRIP LET, in " Masks and Faces !" James Triplet, pre cisely as he has long since been rendered familiar to us, thanks to the rare mastery exercised over all the artifices of his craft by the genius of Mr. Web ster—James Triplet, just exactly as we have so often before now seen him yonder upon the boards of the Adelphi—that poor, starving, threadbare, man-of-parts, beheld first of all when fresh from his garret and his impoverished family, beheld afterwards in his wretched garret, and sur rounded by his hungry wife and children—poet, playwright, musical-composer, man-of-letters, portrait-painter, violinist, and a dozen other things as well all in one Who knows him not, that poor starving genius of a hundred years ago or more, whose mastery over our emotions, as exercised by the merest glance of the actor's eye, by the most casual inflexion in his voice, we have so often had attested to our recognition by mingled tears and laughter—tears and laughter at those times often elicited from us simultaneously ! The particular scene from Triplet's pathetic history here selected by M. Naudin for commemoration thus in this really exquisite photograph, is, to our thinking, the very scene of all that ought to have been selected ! The Garret Scene, that is, where Triplet is seated at the poor table between his wife and his children—Peg Woffington (charmingly represented by Mrs. Stirling) standing over them, presiding cheerily at the little banquet of her own providing—Triplet's fiddle and bow, the while, littered conspicuously against the champagne basket in the foreground ! An impressive and most touching group this forms, altogether, and one that will be dearly welcome to all who have learnt to appreciate one of the few True Artists yet left to us upon the stage. Number Nine of Naudin's Portfolio ought to com mand an immense circulation both to-morrow (Satur day), the 15th instant, and on Monday, the 17th, at the Crystal Palace--constituting as it does one of the most charming souvenirs there could possibly be of the Royal Dramatic College Fête of this present season down at Sydenham. On Tuesday last the marriage of the Hon. Maurice Wingfield to Mary Agnes, youngest daughter. of Mr. James Block, and sister of Lady Sherborne and Mrs. l'opham, was solemnised at St. George's, Hanover-square. FRANCE, BOURSE, July 13.—The buoyancy of the mar kets during the past two days, consequent on the rumour that a European Congress was about to assemble for the purpose of discussing the advisa bility of a general disarmament, has not abated ; and the various departments have again exhibited an almost exceptional activity.

THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. .`♦__._- SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 13. The Royal Mail steamship Tasmanian, with the above mails, has arrived here. The disagreement between Spain and Chili had been amicably settled in a manner honourable to Chili and satisfactory to Spain. Business at Valparaiso was dull. The foreign arrivals were few. There was less demand for pro duce, and prices were lower. Freights declining ; 525. 6d. had been accepted for copper to England. A third revolution had broken out in Bolivia. President Maligaress had fled from La Pal, which, it was expected, the revolutionists would sack. All the best people were abandoning their houses and property. The revolution in Peru was gaining ground. The recapture of Arica and Tacna by the Government forces had had no effect, and the actual Vice-Presi dent had joined the rebels, having got away from Lima under the protection of the American Minister. Throughout the Southern parts the Government was also losing ground, being unable to enforce the laws, and large forces of revolutionists were march ing on Lima, the capital. An attempt had been made to destroy the Spanish ram Numanca, at Callao, by a torpedo, but the plot was discovered just before being put into execution. Many persons had been arrested and imprisoned, and among them two American shipwrights, for whose release $25,000 bail was refused. Exchange, Se i d. to 37d. A revolution had broken out in Equador, headed by Urbina. At Jamaica business was dull, and the drought continued, the heat being very great. Freights un altered: BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, JULY 13.

ROULAND. THE PERE LACORDAIRE.—The death of Abbe Perreyne, executor of Pere Lacordaire, has excited considerable interest in the religious as well as in the literary world, inasmuch as he was the depository of all the father's manuscripts, as well as of his autographic memoirs. It appears that the abbe left those to the Count de Montalembert. They are wriiten in Lacordaire's own handwriting, but contain so many personal anecdotes of, and allusions to, living and illustrious personages, that M. do Montalembert considers that some years must elapse before he can publish them. M. Lacordaire's correspondence and detached papers have been left to M. Foissot, FatherLacor daire's intimate friend and counsellor, and who hai been some years at work on a life of that great orator. It will be remembered that Lacordaire was the only Dominican member of the Academy. THE ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE ANNUAL.— The present, the fourth number of this attractive publica tion, will be found of immense service to-morrow at the Dramatic Fête at the Crystal Palace in aid of the funds of the College. It contains a full and very interesting de scription of the whole of the amuse ments, added to which there are a variety of sparkling and witty articles from some of the best writers of the day. ARRIVAL OF THE EX-QUEEN OF THE SANDWICH IBLANDs.—Our Southampton correspondent writing last night says :—" The West Indian mail steamer Tasmanian arrived hero this evening with the Sandwich Islands flag flying in consequence of the ex-Queen of those islands being on board. Her Majesty was conveyed to Panama from Honolulu in the British war steamer Clio. The Eng lish Bishop of Honolulu accompanied her. The ex Queen has come to England to visit Queen Victoria. She is accompanied by her native chaplain and his wife, who is lady of honour to the ex-Queen. The chaplain is very dark, a gentlemanly and intelligent man, a descendant of the savages who killed Captain Cook." Southampton ...

CUB ITT'S.—A numerously attended delegate meeting of the carpenters and joiners of London was held last evening at the Black Prince, Ohandos-street, Covent-garden, to take into consi deration the strike now existing in the firm of Messrs. Cubitt's. The delegate from Smith and Taylor's occupied the chair. The delegates from Cubitt's having laid before the meeting a statement of the causes which led to the strike, along discussion ensued, and it was ultimately una nimously resolved that the strike should be recognised and supported by the trade. A resolution was also adopted that a weekly levy of ls. be at once commenced to support the men on strike, about 400 in number. Some routine business having been transacted, a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. The strike is conse quent upon the firm refusing to comply with a request for an advance of wages from 7d. to 71d. per hour. MYSTERIOUS DROWNING OF A WOMAN. --A myste rious case of drowning occurred at Ayr early on Saturday morning. The unfortunate woman's name is Lyon or Cameron, a widow, and she bore a very light character. It appears that about two o'clock on the morn ing in question the body was seen floating on the north side of the river, nearly opposite the goods station of the Glasgow and South-Western Railway, by a man named Cunningham, a labourer, residing in Weaverltreet, who makes the following statement regarding the melancholy affair :—While standing near the railway station along with another woman, he saw deceased and a man he did not know walking down the North Quay. He followed them at a short distance, and saw them go along Newton terrace, come back again, and stand at Lottery Hall. He went behind some railway trucks to light his pipe, after which he turned round and saw the man standing alone, the woman being away. Ho walked quickly up to see where she had gone, but could see no • trace of her. Ho again came upon the woman whom he had proviouly left, and who was still standing at the same spot. She said she had not seen Lyon. By this time the man who was along with her, and whom Cunningham did not know, was out of sight. He then looked it to the river and saw the body floating. Having given the alarm, the police were speedily on the spot, and the body was got out and conveyed to the police-office. Dr. Dobbie was in immediate attendance, but although , the body was warm life was quite .extinct. Deceased was between twenty and thirty years of age.- North British Nail. • 6111IGw UIE- IJ Caulk HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, July 13.

The Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London met at the Guildhall on Tuesday last, for the despatch of publio business. Deputy Obbard was called upon to preside. The proceedings commenced by the reading of the new Commission, which was sealed by order of the last Court of Common Council, and which was specially prepared to obviate a difficulty which arose upon a recent occasion upon the hearing of a summons taken out by the Commissioners against the Chartered Gas Company at the Guildhall Police court, when the case was stopped by the presiding Alder man, who ruled that as he himself was a member of the Commission of Sewers, he could not give judgment in a case in which they as a body were interested. Under these cir cumstances, at the suggestion of the Court of Aldermen and of a committee of the Common Council, it was decided that the names of the four senior and four junior aldermen should be omitted from the Commission, in order that they might hoar any case that might arise in future. The new Commission contained the names of the following members of the Corporation : The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Mr. Alderman Sidney, M.P. ; Sir F. G.

Lowman Taylor and Mr. J. E. Saunders, two of the representatives of the City at the Metropolitan Board of Works, are ex officio members of the. Commission. The Commission having been read by Mr. Daw, the principal clerk, Mr. Deputy De Jersey was unanimously re-chosen as chairman during the continuance of the Commission. The usual officers were then re-elected, and some other business of a purely routine character was disposed . of. The Improvement Committee presented a report, in which they recommended the Court to agree to an expenditure Of 1.00 and £435 respectively, for the purpose of widening Tokenhouse-yard and London-wall, Aldermanbury. Both recommendations were agreed to without any op position. Dr. LETHEBY, the medical officer, reported that 223 houses had been inspected during the week, and he submitted a list of 75 places for sanatory improvement. He added, that a complaint hid been made of a nuisance caused by the storage and removal of bones and fat at the shop of Mr. Jackson, in Fleet-lane ; and he recommended that orders should be given for the storage of the bones in tarred bags, and that they be removed from the premises at least twice a week in the bags in which they had been stored. The suggestion of the medical officer was at once adopted. Dr. LETHEBY stated that the markets and slaughter-houses had been duly inspected, and the officers had condemned 16,1031 b. or upwards of 7 tons of meat as unfit for human food; most of it was in a putrid condition from the exces sive warmth of the weather. It consisted of 68 sheep, 3 calves, 9 pigs, 100 quarters of beef, and 161 joints of meat. He also reported that the slaughterhouses in Newgate market and in Warwick-lane were in a dangerously filthy condition from the large amount of slaughtering done in them, and from the neglect of the orders issued by the com mission for the cleanliness of thorn. He recommended that the owners should be summoned before the magistrate for the neglect complained of. The recommendation of the medical officer was agreed to. Dr. LETHEBY then drew attention to the fact that on Tuesday morning four quarters of a heifer that had died of disease were seized at the shop of Mr.Jeffries in Leadenhall market, where it was cut up and publicly exposed for sale. At the same time also two pigs that had died of disease were handed to the inspector by a salesman of the market who had received them from the country for sale. Both of these cases required further inquiry with a view to legal proceed ibgs. Last week there were 63 births, and 59 deaths registered in the City. The mortality returns are nearly the average of the cor responding period of the last nine years-28, or nearly half of the deaths were among children of less than five years of age, and 10 among persons of 60 and upwards. The chief causes of death were as follows :—Phthisis, 5, mesen t e ric) disease 4, pneumonia 6, bronchitis 1, whooping cough 4, croup 1, continued fever 1, and the diarrhcea of infants 7. Dr. LETIIEBY further reported that the illuminating power of the gas supplied to the city during the past weak had been in every case above the requirements of the act, the average being nearly 14 candles, but the amount of sulphur in the Chartered and Great Central gas had been in exces o of the quantity sanctioned by Parliament, and the proper' tion of ammonia in the Chartered gas had also been excessiire The Commissioners shortly afterwards adjourned. .. 0 1 .. 1 0 .. 1 0 ~ 1 0 .. 1 0 .. 1 0 - 1 0 1 0 ... 1 0 ... 1 0 • 1 0 ▪ 1 0 ... 1 0 ... 1 0 1 0 1 0 ... 1 0 ... 1 0 1 0 Thc conse( tions, in th( contin The the Gi acquit businc Ilental issued chase of Me that o active join ti The charac £910,1 increa and t] Bury I and tb of £l, The tic St( they of 5 the 3l) The] in For vanced Stock Passive 63i rican 5-20 Illinoif, Bus; tinned shown 5 5., G] Metro] The at aboi Ban] out an; Bank I are stc C OtUlen Scrip , Bank, AUstrial lrazilia• Do. 4 Buenos Do I Colombi Ouba, 6 Danish Do. 4 Do. 5 D aoubia Do.A D o £8 r., im L ., 0 ' 4 B - Yptia Do. k Do (ireek Do. 0 Do.
