.NEI VSPAPER .45 d AF - . 7, vernment has acted on those principles. s /ft policy, lagree that we should remain at pea eVEnitir the safety or the honour of the country reqn* thaw() S should make war. But I deny that it conduces eit er to safety or to honour that our Minister should interfere in the quarrels of other nations by threats never to be fulfilled, and met with insolence and scorn; by advice never asked and rejected, or passed by with silent contempt ; by encou raging the weak to take up arms against the strong, and then deserting them at their utmost need and leaving them to perish ; and, in the end, that his Government should appeal to their fellow-countrymen for their approval, and declare that the foreign policy of England is non-interven tion. I have assisted, and, if elected, shall continue to assist, in maintaining the stability of the Church of Eng land. The Government has not merely permitted, but countenanced and supported almost every act of hostility against the Church done or attempted during the present Parliament. Great questions are impending, upon which the very existence of the Church of England in Ireland may be threatened. In the meantime, it is satisfactory to feel that we have successfully resisted the unconditional abolition of church rates, and that if the Government should be displaced by the results of the approaching elections a Conservative Ministry would be enabled to propose to Par liament a measure which would justly satisfy the Church, while it would relieve the 'Dissenters of every denomina tion from the necessity of contributing to a tax which many of them conscientiously think oppressive and unjust. It is almost useless to speak of the extension of the Elec tive Franchise. In 1859 the Ministry of which I was a member, though unconvinced of the necessity for any change,brought forward, in deference to the alleged wishes of great numbers of the community, a scheme of Reform which would have conferred the franchise upon 200,000 of the people, and which was open to no objection which could not have been removed in a committee of the House of Commons. The party now in power opposed and threw out that bill, and came into office upon its defeat, pledged. to another and a better measure of Reform. In the next session they brought in their bill with hesitation and reluc tance, and then abandoned it with ill-concealed satisfaction. From that time to this the subject . of Reform has been dealt with in the House of Commons in a way but little calculated to obtain for that assembly the respect or the confidence of the people; and if the con duct of the Government upon this momentous question has dono credit to their character as enlightened statesmen, or honourable gentlemen, or honest men, let those who think so support them in this great electoral contest which they are now at last compelled to encounter. For myself, I can only repeat what I said to you in 1859 and in 1852. lam ready to concur in any scheme of Reform which shall ex tend the franchise to all who are qualified by property, education, or condition to exercise it with intelligence and independence. But the Government have claimed not merely the assent, but the applause of their country for their financial policy. Happy is:the statesman whose for tune it is to administer the finances of a nation which by the natural increase of its population, its wealth, its com merce, and its resources must acquire a large and inevitable surplus in the revenue in every year of its collection. Let us rejoice that such is the destiny of England, and that whether our Chancellor of the Exchequer shall be minded to remit the duties upon incomes or insurances, upon wine or malt, on tea or paper, the mighty and ever-increasing population and wealth of his country will provide him with an adequate and an ample surplus. Gentlemen, I do not complain of the remission of taxation upon income, the source of subsistence, or upon any of the necessaries or the comforts, or even the luxuries of life. But let these sub jects of remission take their turn in just and equitable suc cession. I maintain the claim of malt to priority before paper, or wine, or tea, and, now, before income." • • ...v.e.4—• - ,-. 4 ' ~, 4,...,,,... 1 / 4 , ~.__ .. eb. ........ , .- .g. , ..... .... -• '''''t- • 4 ,, - .71 _4''' ,i,• , ',1,-4- • i , p,fei,', -.:;-, • --------' ---J/' , t.. s . . i i pr, ...„. ~f , ....p, ....... ..,,c.„. ..., , N.„; .till , s,' 7,, ,, , , . lijor ~...,,c ;5 I • , .

Indeed, he thought at the present day it mattered comparatively little who were the men they had in power, but it mattered very much indeed what were the principles upon which the Government acted. The great point was to return men to l'arliament who would maintain the spirit of the Constitution in tact. And why? Because, during the last 30 years this country had enjoyed an amount of prosperity, happiness, peace, and advancement beyond parallel in the history of the world. They had true liberty, absolute liberty, and not universal suffrage without the power of exercising it ; they were not subject to be called on by a person from the Home-office with a request to vote for a particular candidate. He would reform all that required reform, but preserve all that was ancient, venerable, and good. He was opposed to lowering the suffrage. He did not con sider the suffrage tp be a right, but a trust. The existing electors were trustees acting for the benefit of the country at large, and not for their own benefit. He would gladly confer the suffrage on men of intelligence and property, who might fairly be considered to come within the spirit of the Con stitution. As to Mr. Baines's bill, it was all a sham. How many £6 houses were there in Westminster in the occupation of respectable mechanics ? The bill would not have added 100 votes to the constituency of the city. The prosperity of the country was owing to the confidence which was felt in the con tinuance of the present state of things. It en couraged the investment of capital and the develop ment of all the material resources of the country. There bad been wars in almost every part of the he will never consent to the abolition o church rates without a substitute. He claims for the Con servative party that they have not during the pre sent Parliament harassed the Government, by which they were displaced, by any factious opposition, or evinced any eagerness for the resumption of office. He concludes as follows : lantic Telegraph Company (George Saward,' Esq., Secre tary), at their Offices, 12, St. Helen's-place, E.C., London ; of the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company (Limited) (W. Shuter, Esq., Secretary), at their Offices, 54, Old Broad-street; or of the Brokers or Bankers; but no application will be entertained unless the sum of £1 per Share on application has been paid to ono of the Company's Bankers on the number applied for.

For notices of this startl /if; work see the "Saturday Re view" of April 1, entitled " Quac!is and Quackery ;' the " Weekly D snatch" of April v, " The Quacks and their Crimes ;', "The Sun" of April 12, " 'Detector's' Broadside on Quacks and Quackery." GUIDE TO TILE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the" Medical Ch cular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of c. esti). Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young . men. For their names, which " Punch" woutd not advertise, he has referred his readers to thelovrer corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphl t above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" Office, 20, King William-street, Strland, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory. by commlting, which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " ii evelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse whi'e they invoke your indignation and disgust. Of course you do not want It on accouwf of its warnings for your own-sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom 3 ,, ,u must be acquainted, if your acquaint ance is large. " Who are the Quacks that 'Punch' means 7" Consider what it is to tie able to answer this question of the young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if for no other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," by Detector.--Ilanch, April 12. I doubt not, continue faithfully to represent that large and I believe, daily increasing section of public opinion which considers that it needs no great change in the fundamental institutions of England to develope all her resources and maintain the position she has acquired in the foremost rank of civilised nations. The removal of abuses, the ameliora tion. of laws, the respectful consideration of real grievances, whether of classes or individuals, are as much within the range of a truly Conservative policy as a prudent man places among the objects most demsndinghis care and fore thought—the repairs of the house he does not desire to pull down, and the improvement of the property he declines to risk by taking shares in every bubble company."

West-end Branch-8, Waterloo-place, Pall-MalL Mr. Abel Smith appeals to his votes in Parliament as furnishing evidence that, while reserving to him self freedom of action and independence of judgment he has uniformly united " with the Opposition in resisting those repeated attacks on the Constitution, in Church and State, which have emanated from the Liberal party." He believes that the malt-tax is prejudicial to the interests of the growers of barley, and " enhances the price of a necessary article of consumption among the working classes." He de sires to see the Protestant character of the Church of England maintained, and will resist any attacks on the Church, from whatever quarter they may come, but he wishes to see " her efficiency keep pace with the growing wants of the country." He is " opposed to the lowering of the franchise," but " would support a well-considered measure for its extension," as he thinks " there are many persons entitled by property and qualified by education who might be safely admitted to exercise that important trust."

The near approach of the period when t he cable is to be 1 ,,,`" is already the cause of much excitement a mon g st all are aware of the fact. Tho date for the Great Eastern steamship's departure with tho cable is actually fixed for the Bth July, about a I t liiiight from tho present date, and it is not too much to 4: 7 that from the hour of her leaving the whole continent Europe and America will be intent upon watching her ' l ' l3 gress. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has tr-itified his warm interest in the undertaking by personally t rPecting the cable on board the Great E astein about r ee weeks ago. The exceptional character of the undertaking is further 11 °Nrn by her Majesty's Government granting the services ° f two of her Majesty's men-of-war steamers, the Terrible i t4 (l the Sphynx, to accompanythe Great Eastern, and assist ,the operation of laying the cable. ._ ll l Calculating the rate of profit of this undertaking, of rrse everything depends upon tho scaloof charges adopted withthe transmission of messages; the first tariff agreed to w i th her Majesty's Government was fixe4 at 2s. 6d. per erd, subsequently increased to ss. per illird, but as the 4 4 " arrived when the cable would be ready for actual use, jWas seen that the mass of business this co m p an y would TlTtediately find offered to it, would so far neut ralise the bene fitfof it by completely choking the line, that a representa °ll to the Lords of the Treasury within the la st few da y s o 0 the subject, has led their lordsh i p s to consent to the t i iliPany, until lst September next, experimentally charging, without restriction, such rates for messages as Company may, on full conside ration, deem reason i and proper ;" and it is fully expected that by this h „" . angem.ent the net profits will reach o ne million sterling 4- , r annum.

This Company has been formed by the amalgamation of the following London Firms, for the purpose of carrying on and extending their business as Merchants under the Joint-Stock Companies Act, with limited liability. Messrs. Robinson and Fleming. Messrs. Redfern, Alexander, and Co. Messrs. Lane, liankey, and Co. Experience has shown that undertakings established upon the principle of limited liability can successfully carry out the most confidential operations of banking and finance, and the Directors feel assured that mercantile transactions will now be even more freely entrusted to a Company so formed than to private firms. It is believed that the periodical publication of a balance-sheet, with the security afforded by a large uncalled capital, will, when combined with the personal management of a board of ex perienced merchants, attract business of the best class, under permanently favourable conditions. The basis of the arrangement with the amalgamated firms is as follows :- 1. All the liabilities and obligations of each house are to be liquidated altogether independently of the Company, except where any such may hereafter be agreed to betaken over by the Board as new and desirable business. 2. The partners of each house bind themselves not to enter into any fresh mercantile operations in England of a similar character during ten years ; and the completeness of the transfer, with the efficient management of each par ticular class of business, is insured by the leading mem bers of the three firms joining the Board and remaining as Directors. The qualification of each Director is fixed by the Articles of Association at £lO,OOO, to be held in the Stock of the Company. 3. The total goodwill of the amalgamated firms will be taken, one-third in Shares with £5O paid, and two-thirds in Debentures, payable with 5 per cent. interest, in equal annual instalments over ten years, thus identifying the interests of the vendors completely and continuously with that of the Company . . The total amount thus paid to the three firms for good will in Shares and Debentures will be £375,000, which sum is calculated upon their actual profits for three years ; without estimating any increase from new business, or savings which will be effected by the amalgamation, and assuming only the present profits of the united firms, a large dividend may, therefore, be anticipated on the paid up capital, from the establishment of the company. The amalgamated firms and their immediate connexions are prepared to subscribe for a large portion of the pro posed capital; but as it is believed that the influence and prosperity of the Company will be increased by establish ing it on a wide and a public basis, and that many inves tors will gladly seize the opportunity of thus becoming merchants without the unlimited risks of partnership, the directors have decided to open the subscription to the public. To meet the wishes of those who may desire to pay up at once the amount that is intended to be called on the shares, it has been decided to allow such prepayments to the extent of £5O per share, and such shares will then rank for dividend in proportion to the amount paid up. A separate form of application for such shares is enclosed. There will be no promotion-money paid for the forma tion of the Company. Applications for shares, accompanied by a remittance for the deposit, may be made to the Bankers and Brokers. The Articles of the Association are open for inspection at the Office of the Solicitors.

This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing and working the well-known deposits of Phosphate of Lime, situated at the Island of Sombrero, in the West Indies, and at Logrosan, in Estremadura ; thus avoiding the serious competition that would necessarily arise if the two properties were in the hands of parties having antago nistic interests. ' The business is fully organised, and in active operation; and the benefit of existing contracts for the delivery of nearly 10,000 tons of Phosphate during the next six months will be transferred with the lease of the property to the Company; and it is e stimated that the profit upon thes contracts will be upwards of £15,000 —thus giving a sub stantial guarantee for the payment of an early dividend. Further contracts of an equally profitable nature for deli very of upwards of 30,000 tons, during the next six years, have been entered into, and these contracts will also bo transferred by the present proprietors to the Comp r Pany. Th e consumption of Superphosphate, and othe hos phatic Manures in the United Kingdom, is es timated at from 200,000 to 300,000 tons annually, and that quantity is probably not applied to one-tenth part of the land which would be benefited by its use. To the Agricultural interest the further development im of th ese deposits of Phosphate of Lime is of the greatest portance ; whilst, as a commercial enterprise, the under taking promises to be most successful. The profit from Sombrero Island alone can be confidently estimated to pro duce more than 15 per cent. on the capital to be called up for its purchase and working ; and as the development of the Estremadura quarries proceeds, the Directors anticipate a largely increased ratio of dividend from that source. The the pres ent undertaking will virtually have a monopoly of market, for there are no other similar deposits of e there will, therefore, be no serious competition. Applications for shares must be forwarded to the bankers of the Company, with the deposit of £1 per share. If the number of shares allotted be less titan the number applied. d ited for, the deposit p aid will, so far as necessary, b cred towards the payment due on allotment. Should no allot ment be made the deposit will be returned lan in full. rts, and The articles of associati on, leases, ps, repo va l ua ti on s, with analyses of the respective products, may be inspected at the Office of the Solicitors. P r ospectuses and forms of application for shares may be lobtained of the Brokers, Bankers, Solicitors, and at the Temporary Offices of the-Company. ,ITAIR-CURLING FLUID, 248, High Holborn , London.—LiLEX.

This was not owing to one or to another, but to the careful working of the Constitution under which we lived. There was another point he would refer to, and that was the increasing intelligence of the working classes, and that might be mainly attri buted to what was called the fourth estate—the newspaper press. Of the power Of that press the people largely availed themselves, and this operated more practically for their benefit than any Parlia mentary representation could do, even if universal suffrage were accorded to them. (Cheers.). Mr. Smith then said he should always be ready to pro mote the local interests of the city of Westminster, and concluded a very long address by declaring that he would not enter Parliament other than as an in dependent man, unpledged to any leader or any party; but with a full determination to do his duty according as God had given him ability and power to understand it. (Cheers.) Lord INGESTRE, after expressing his warm ap proval of the opinions which had been declared by Mr. Smith, and saying that he should prefer having that gentlemanhis representative than his friend Mr. Grosvenor, who, while speaking Conservatism, would vote Radicalism, moved the following resolution:— " That this meeting having heard with satisfaction. Mr. Smith's exposition of his political principles pledge them selves to use their utmost exertions to secure his return as one of the representatives for the city of Westminster." The Hon. ROBERT GRIMSTON seconded the reso lution. The chairman put the question to a show of hands, when more than two-thirds of the meeting were in favour of its adoption.

Yesterday evening rarialbliScTmEeß. meeting was held a the Pimlico Room s , Wi nchester -street, S out h B e l gravia, for the purpose of hearing Mr. W. li. Smith, the Conservative candidate, make an exposition of his political principles. Mr. G. Cubitt, M.P., having taken the chair, introduced Mr. Smith to the electors assembled with a few preliminary remarks on the relative claims which the three candidates, Captain Grosvenor, Mr. Mill, and Mr. Smith had upon them. Mr. Smith then came forward and was loudly cheered by the larger portion of the meeting. He observed that an apology was due to the electors of that portion of Westminster for his coming before them as an unknown man —a mere Mr. Smith, a man connected with business. (Cheers and laughter.) A most liberal chairman of a most liberal candidate had drawn attention to the horrible fact that he was a man connected with business, and had ex pressed his astonishment that such a person could have ventured to offer himself as a representative of Westminster. But, passing by these personal questions, he came prepared to answer interrogato ries as to his political principles ; and he would at once frankly avow that he was not a member of the Liberal party so called. The name of Liberal was a well-sounding name, and had a fascinating power over the mind of a young man. He would confess that at one time he desired to be a member of that party, but he did not wish it now, and one reason was that he could not conscientiously express opi nions on the hustings which afterwards for a long period of years he by his conduct studiously endea • voured to defeat. No doubt there were many members of the Liberal party who were desirous of carrying out the measures which they advocated on I the hustings, but a large portion of that party had during the existing Parliament done all they could to defeat the very things they had pledged themselves among others, there fore, rm or p o e , rf h o ow . as For not t a hi reason, m s emborof the Liberal party, neither did he belong to the Conservative party, but he considered himself to be a Liberal-Coaservafive. (Cheers and cries of "Oh !") As a tiberal-Con servative he desired to effect every reform which could be effected with safety to the Constitution. He would reform every abuse, and would pay special attention to a reform in the working of the admi nistrative machine. To financial_and to legal reform he was equally prepared to give his support. He had already said that he was no party man, but desired: AYLESBURY. The appearance of the address of Mr. N. M. de Rothschild, the Liberal candidate, to the electors, the substance of which appeared in The Sun yester day, has brought out that of, at least, one of the sitting Conservative members for this borough, both of whom, notwithstanding a rumour to the contrary, will again seek election as its representatives in the llouse of Commons. CIRENCESTER. All three candidates, Mr. Allen Bathurst (Conser vative), the Hon. Ralph Dutton (Conservative), and Mr. Julian Goldsmid (Liberal), profess to be san guine of success. They have completed their can vass, and are now resting on their oars for a time. In the meanwhile a sharp controversy is being carried on, on the subject of Mr. Goldsmid's religious opinions, that gentleman belonging to the Hebrew persuasion. The contest between Mr. Dutton and Mr. Goldsmid will be very close. COCKERMOUTH. Nord Naas has issued an address to the electors of Cockermouth, asking them to confer upon him for the fourth time the honour of representing them in the House of Commons. He says since last elected his political opinions have undergone no change. FALMOUTH AND FENRYN. Mr. Sandbach, the Conservative candidate, who arrived in this borough on Tuesday, left again on the following day, having, it is stated, ascertained, without a canvass or address, that he had no chance of being elected. GRANTHAM. Mr. Welby and the Hon. F. J. Tollemache, the sitting members for this borough, have issued ad resses, soliciting re-election. Mr. Welby speaks of his sturdy adherence to Conservative principles, while Mr. Tollemache avows himself in favour of;,a liberal policy. Lord Alfred. Paget and Lieutenant-Colonel Dyott, of Freeford, have issued their addresses to the elec tors of this city. The former seeks re-election after 28 years service, in the Liberal cause ; and the latter, who is a descendant of the Richard Dyott by whom Lord Brooke was shot from the .Cathedral spire in 1643, at the siege of Lichfield, seeks election in the Conservative interest. The second seat for this city was contested by the same gentlemen in 1841, when Lord A. Paget was returned by a majority of seven or eight votes, and the petition whichfollowed failed to unseat him. HEREFORD. On Thursday evening Lieut.-Colonel Clifford and Mr. George Clive, the Liberal members for Here ford, met their constituents to defend their conduct in regard to their support of the present Govern ment, and to ask the further support of the consti tuency at the coming election. HERTFORDSHIRE. The sitting members have just issued their ad• dresses. Sir E. B. Lytton says : " None of us can pretend to foresee what may be the most exciting or important topics which the next Parlia ment may be called upon to deliberate in the course of its existence. Still less can we conjecture what political questions her Majesty's present Government may deem sufficiently imperative to risk the tenure of office upon the chance of carrying their measures. Judging from the past we may presume that among such questions will not be any scheme of Parliamentary Reform. They use that ques tion much as a man who takes care of himself in this changeable climate uses an upper garment—when out, to be put on ; when in, to be put off. As to the principles upon which I think that any propositions for the exten sion of the suffrage should be based, I retain the opinions which I have already expressed in Parliament, whether upon the Reform Bill proposed and abandoned by the present Government, or upon that which was introduced by Lord Derby's Administration, with the earnestness of men who, in undertaking so serious a task as that of an amended representation, were prepared to stand or fall by the advice they proffered to their sovereign and their countrymen. Believing that every system of fiscal policy should apply its principles fairly to all divisions of the national industry, I shall not cease to struggle for the abolition of the malt tax, as a burden which fetters the discretion of skill in the cultivation of the soil, and singles out the husbandman for special exclu sion from the legitimate operations of free trade. But if the grievance be more immediately felt by the farmer, its consequences are injurious beyond those of any tax now left in our statute-book to the commnnity at large. The malt-tax not only raises the price of malt liquors, but, by discouraging and restricting the growth of barley as an article of cattle food, it impedes that increase in the main tenance of stock which an increasing population naturally demands, and thus raises the price to the consumer of all descriptions of butcher's meat, while, by diminishing the amount of farmyard manure applicable to wheat crops, it tends, however indirectly, to raise even the price of bread. The injurious effects of the malt tax are really felt in the weekly bills of every householder. So permit me to hope that the farmer, in seeking relief from this burden, will find among the inhabitants of towns, hot his opponents, but his allies." Sir Edward goes on to say that it would give him great pleasure if Dissenters would meet Churchmen in the endeavour to bring the church-rate dispute to a friendly and Anal adjustment, but declares that LIVERPOOL. Mr. J. C. Ewart (Liberal) seeks re-election, and has issued an address, in which he says : " The question of Parliamentary Reform, the settlement of Nt hich has been too long postponed, must be met in a fair and liberal spirit. The leaders of all parties are agreed that the Reform Act of 1832, though admirably suited to the period at which it was passed, is not altogether adapted to the altered circumstances of modern times. Great num bers of the intelligent and prudent among our follow countrymen—not by any means confined to the working classes—are at present excluded from the franchise. How best to secure the fair representation of every class, while giving undue preponderance to none, must engage the serious attention of the next Parliament." LYMING TON. Mr. Thomas Norton, of Bolton-row, Mayfair, has offered himself as a candidate for this borough. He says, in his address to the constituency— " Attached during the whole of my political life to the Liberal party, I shall support those men whose meastres hays so largely contributed to the prosperity and happiness of the people of this country, and should you do me the honour of electing me as your representative I shall pro ceed cautiously, carefully, and independently in the same direction." MALD ON. Mr. T. Sutton Western, the Liberal sitting mem ber, has issued an address soliciting re-election. He considers that the blessings of peace and the unpre cedented prosperity of the country are owing, un der Providence, to the administration of Lord Pal merston and the financial measures of Mr. Glad stone. MALMESBURY. The re-election of Viscount Andover is, of ter all, to be opposed. Last week Lord Royston put in an appearance, but speedily retired, and Lord Ando ver's friends seemed to breathe more freely. Yester day morning, however, Mr. John G. Talbot, a nephew of the Earl of Shrewsbury, issued an ad dress, seeking the suffrages of the Conservative electors. The last time there was a contest was in 1852, when the late Liberal member, Mr. Luce, was elected by a very narrow majority over Mr. Audley Lovell. MANCHESTER. The Selection Committee of the Liberal electors of Manchester, appointed on Tuesday evening, as sembled yesterday morning and unanimously agreed to recommend Air. Jacob Bright (brother of the hon. member for Birmingham), as a candidate for the representation of the city. NEW SHOREHAM. An active canvass of this borough is being carried on by Mr. Jas. Hannen, of the Home Circuit, the Liberal candidate, and Sir Percy Burrell and Mr. Stephen Cave, the sitting members, who represent the Conservative interest. The Liberals form a very strong party in the borough, particularly in the towns of Worthing and Shoreham, and are deter - minedto carry one Liberal representative. Mr. Han nen has, during the week, addressed large and en thusiastic meetings at Shoreham, Worthing, South wick, and Henfield. The Conservative candi dates have not yet held a meeting of their supporters. SHROPSHIRE (NORTH). Lord Albert Leveson Gower has retired, leaving the field to the two Tories—Mr. J. R. Ormsby Gore, the present member, and Major the Hon. Charles H. Cust. SHROPSHIRE (SOUTH). The representation of this division of the county is not to remain in the hands of the Tories without a struggle to wrest at least one seat from them. Mr. R. Jasper Moore, of Linley-hall, Salop, a barrister, and a gentleman of high literary attainments, has issued an address announcing himself a candidate. He says : "My political principles are those which havo for the last 30 years so successfully directed the affairs of this country. I shall give a hearty but independent support to Lord Palmerston, under whose administration our Govern ment has been carried on with unparalleled prosperity." Sir Baldwin Leighton, one of the present members, is unpopular with the tenant farmers for the part he took in the Prevention of Poaching Bill and High way Act, and an impression prevails that he will retire. SUFFOLK (EAST.) Yesterday Sir F. Kelly and Lord Henniker, the Conservative sitting members for this division, issued their addresses to the electors. Lord Henniker's in tentions may be summed up in the announcement of his desire to " defend our Constitution, our Church, and our invaluable institutions." At the same time, his lordship is not unwilling to advocate and support progress. Sir F. Kelly, who is very diffuse, observes : "It has been said that the elements of political warfare have ceased to exist, and that the principle of the two great contending parties in the State are the same. But if this be so, I cannot PuDgOribe to the na9 de ia which the present Go- TAUNTON. Mr. A. C. Barclay, the unsuccessful candidate in the Liberal interest at the last election, again seeks the suffrages of this borough. He supports the policy of the present Ministry, and believes it would be disastrous to transfer the conduct of affairs to the less capable leaders of the opposition. He advo cates an extension of the franchise and the abolition of church rates. Lord W. M. Hay, son of the Mar quis of Tweeddale, is the second Liberal candidate. He promises a" steady, though independent support, to that party and the policy it has pursued." WEYMOUTH. The Liberals of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis have brought forward Mr. H. G. Gridley and Mr. H. Edwards to oppose the present Conservative members Lord Grey de Wilton and Mr. Brooks. As it is understood that parties are pretty evenly ba lanced on the register, there is every probability the contest will be keen. Mr. Gridley, in his address, says :-- " The policy of Lord Palmerston's Government is non intervention with the affairs of other countries, and its ju dicious financial and commercial policy has my hearty ap proval ; and 1 am prepared to give his administration a general support, believing that by it peace will be preserved, the revenue further increased, taxation reduced, and the well-being of the country advanced." Mr. Edwards also promises a cordial and indepen dent support to the Government of Lord Palmer ston. WOODSTOCK. Mr. Mitchell Henry has issued the following ad dress to the electors of Woodstock : " Gentlenien,—Thetimehw3 now arrived when the battle to which we are mutually pledged is to be fought out to the - - uttermost. Onthe one side are freedom and justice ; on the other usurpation and wrong. We know, and our opponents know too, the determination of the constituency that in the coming Parliament they will have a representative of the people of Woodstock, not a mere nominee of the house of Blenheim. Hitherto the borough has been regarded in the political world as the property of the feudal lord, and the electors only as the instruments for registering his decrees. Henceforth you are resolved to fight nobly and success fully against the dictation of the great, and thus gain the esteem of our fellow-countrymen, and do good service to the cause of liberty throughout the land. This contest is not a question of Whig against Tory, but rather of free men against those who would enslave them. On many poli tical subjects, as is evident from his lordship's farewell ad dress, your late member and I might agree to shake hands, but between the Tory gentleman who aspires to succeed him and myself there is the widest difference under Heaven. Lord Alfred Churchill has resigned his seat because he can no longer endure the degradation of political servitude even to his own brother ; but Mr. Barnett so little appreciates this manly sentiment that he actually forestalled Lord Al fred's announcement, and tried to perpetuate the same system by issuing a ' private' circular to such of the elec tors only as he thought slavish enough to assist him. Let me recall the circumstances to your minds. Lord Alfred Churchill has told you that he quits Woodstock, not because you are dissatisfied with him or he with you, but because the ' influence' -that is, the ' ducal influence'—under which he was elected is no longer favourable to his return. Upon that influence,' now transferred to himself, Mr. Barnett builds his hopes, and in company with the Duke of Marl borough's agent he has for months past perambulated this borough upon his questionable errand. Foiled in the at tempt to secure the seat by means of that private arrange ment' so long and so successfully in vogue at Woodstock, he was compelled to commence what he calls a canvass, but what in point of fact has proved to be nothingelse than a system of persecution. In season and out of season the Duke's Man,' as you name him, has been among you, first demanding rather than asking for your votes, then, follow ing up electors already pledged, giving no man credit for sincerity or principle, he has tried all arts to turn you from the path of duty, and has done many things which a Parlia mentary Committee would unquestionably pronounce to amount to undue influence and intimidation. Nor will you forget that public display in the Town-hall, when he re fused to answer any questions the electors desired to put to him ; but, taking up his hat, left a meeting that had ac tually been convened by himself. The borough mustindeed have sunk low in the estimation of Mr. Barnett if he sup poses that the spirit of Englishmen will tolerate such contemptuous treatment as this. Contrast this course of proceedings with that of the Liberal candidate. When the independent electors had elected me as their representa tive, I at once issued and sent to every elector, rich and poor, in the borough an address containing a full exposi tion of my political views. Then I waited upon each in succession, but on no occasion did 1 ask more than this, 'Pray give me your vote, if you agree in my political prin ciples.' I defy any one to say that I have asked for sup port on any other ground than this, and no one can accuse me or my party of attempting to gain a vote already pro mised to our opponent. Then he held a series of public meetings, commencing with that great meeting in the Town-hall of Woodstock on the Ist of November last—a day memorable in your annals, for it constituted the Ifirst public meeting for such an object that had been held in the borough for more than 20 years. On all these oc casions I courted inquiry into my views, and answered fairly and honestly every question addressed to me. The result is well known. The majority is with us, and you have only to be true to your principles and record your votes at the poll, which will certainly take place in the middle of July, and the day is your own. Assert, then, your independence, and elect the can didate of your choice, for thereby you will obliterate the past, and place your borough in a proud position in the kingdom, and you will also secure the faithful services of ono who will ever act in accordance with the principles of the gro!tt Liberal party, expressed in the words, The greatestteginess of the greatest number.'
