MIDDLESEX. Last evening a meeting of the electors of the county of Middlesex was held at the Albion Hall, Albion-road, Ham rner.rnith. Mr. CONINGSA.3I attended a meeting in the morning at the Hanover-square Rooms, at which he went over most of the topics alluded to in his speech on Saturday last, which was reported in The Sun of Monday. Sir C. Aldia tonic the chair, and the room was tolerably tilled with ladies and gentlemen, who received Mr. Cou• inghatn very warmly. He expressed himself in favour of Lord paltnerstou's foreign policy as opposed ip the po licy Of Lord Maluiesbury, of the admission of opposed to parliament, of the Anglo-American alliance, and of the abolition of church-ra'es. Au ELECTOR asked him if he was ready to vote for t he ahontion of the law of primogeniture and the law of e ntail ?—(Hear..bettr.)

I cannot, in the present state of feeling and experience on this poirr, promise to agitate the question if retutned to Paths mPnc. ,- Mr. occupied the chair, and among the gen tlemen on the platform were Lord Robert Grosvenor, Mr. B. Osborne, and o hers. _ The CHAIRMAN commenced the proceedings by stating that their object in meeting was to take into considera tion whether the electors of Middlesex would go back to the days of despotism, or maintain the present state of things. He considered the public to be deeply i n d e bt e d to Lord Robert Grosvenor for the repeal of the window tax.—(Hear, hear.) It was now the duty of the electors more than ever to see that the Liberal cause should not be imta'red. Than Mr. Osberne there was not a more liberal Member in the House of Commons, and it was was theretore must desirable that undivided support should be given to the Noble Lerd and Mr. Osborne. N . man who was a tried friend to progress would at- ' t , mpt to divide the Liberal interest; and tie trusted that v,ot only in the county of Middlesex, but throughout the country, all would be united as the ensuing election to support those men who would support the measures that tended most to advance the great cause of reform.

The various changes of the present Administration reminded him of the popular novel " Japhet in Search of a Father," and he should not be surprised to find a new production from the pen of the Chancellor of the Exch. quer, imitating this title, under the designation of " A Minister in Search of a Policy." He would have preferred seeing on the banner of the present party revision of national expenditure.— ( Hear, hear.) His opinion was that all import duties that tended to encourage the smuggler ought to be at once reduced. His Lordship then urged the necessity for a total abolition of the Excise law, the deficiency arising from which might be met by a well-regulated system of direct taxation—([}ear.) The people were now prepare I for an extension of the elective franchise, and the rosurdity of a property qualification for members of Parliament should be abolished.—(Cheers.) Mr. OsBoRNE then rose, and was well received. lie was there to vindicate his past conduct and votes. He was proud of having been returned by the middle and working classes, and democracy. fie had entered Par liament as a friend of civil and religious liberty, and bad advocated free trade; and he would appeal to the proceedings in Parliament how far he had carried out his professions.—(Hear, hear.) The present Ministry, since they got into office, had abandoned protectiors. and the poor man was promised a big loaf because the Deebyites wanted the " little fishes" of office for themselves.— (Cheers.) He had voted against the Ecelesiasticel Fetes Bel hscsuse be considsred that the Roman Ca tholics should have civil and religious liberty as well as themselves.

Those gentlemen had shown him, and their statements wero borne out by all sub sequent investigation, that a large numb,r of the inhabitants of the . berough were dissatiteed with the present state of the representation.—(Hear, lacer) On that ground, and that ground only, he appeared before them; because he confessed that his opinions were nearly identical with those of the gentlemen who lately represented thten.—(Cheers.) When he found there was a large majority is the borough who were inclined to support Mr. Harvey if he could bear the brunt of the eonteet, he (Mr. Wilkinson) did not think it unbecoming on his pert to offer himself as a candidate to the electors for the purpose of supplying the want under which they laboured.—(Cheers.) There might be a hundred rea sons why they should think that they were not pro perly represented by the fete Members, but it was not necesssry for him to ;ere: to them; it was enough for him to know that there was a desire entertained by a number of the electors that a new Member should be selected.—(Hear, hear.)

THE QUARTEh'S REVENUE. The Revenue returns for the financial year and July insta n t, are o f a very 8 character, affording th e mos t conc l us i ve evidence generaltihnegtahe sth c welfar e and prosperity. t cl r a aift e sr t ae b cr a t t °e or t nf Y h d char ere is a fal lin g off lnud l th e of revenue, both on the year a u o a r r d t i e n r a , r b y u these I sourced is are immediately explained by have already taken place in the stamp duties and the taxes on light and air, while the in those on alterations on sugar and timber ha've produced no perceptible effect, or at least have not led to any diminution in the Customs' receipts. We may reasonably anticipate, too that these favourable indications will be continued for some time. Thanks to the gold discoveries in California and Australi?, we have at length a circu lating medium adequate to the wants and exigencies o f the country. The industrial machine is therefore continued in motion. Men able and willing to work a re tolerably certain of obtai • meg employment at fair wage s, and being through it enabled to provide for themselves and families the bumble f com orts which should always be within their reach. And as, after all, the working man is the chief contributor to the n ational exchequer, whenever he is well off and in constant remunerative occupation, the effects become s peedily perceptible in the increased produce of the national taxation. In the Customs we find that there is an • improve ment on the year and quarter —on the former of 2 06,702 d., and on the latter of 183,9461., and this notwithstanding the reductions on the sugar and tim ber duties, already referred to. There has also been a smaller quantity of corn im ported, in consequence of the abundant harvest of last year, which nearly supplied the home markets with the home produce. The improvement on the other items is, therefore, the more remarkable, and a hew illustration is afforded of the almost miraculous elas ticity of the national resources. In the Excise there is a diminution on the year of 13 2051., but an increase on the quarter of 23,7061. The former m ay partly be accounted for by the fact that large arrears of hop duties were collected in the former year which could not fairly be considered as parts of the ordinary annual revenue. There is, however, nothing to abate the gratification which arises at the improvement on the quarter, of what has b een most justly termed "the index to the Prosperity of the working classes,"—an improvement the more remarkable when we consider that the cor responding quarter of last year included the two first months of the Exhibition, and the month preceding that event, when the greatest activity was required for the necessary preparations. In Stamps there has been a decrease on the year of 37 ,389/., but an increase on the quarter of 101 3341, It must be borne in mind that after the Stamp Act of 1850 received the Royal assent, the several distri• butors suffered their stocks to run very low in order to take full advantage of the remission. The conse quence Was that the quarters ending the 10th October, 1850 , and the sth January, 1851, were exceedingly productive. There must have been great activity in trade and commerce to account for the very large improvement on the last quarter. In the Assessed Taxes there is of course a large falling off on both periods. It was estimated that the substitution of the house-duty for the window tax would occasion a loss to the revenue of two thirds of the receipts, or, in round numbers, about 1,200,0001. This estimate proved more than usually accurate, as we find the falling off on the year to be 1,172,9791., while that on the quarter—which, how. ever, in this instance, m ay be regarded as the half year—is 541,5241. It will thus be seen that the c ompensating principle is already in operation, and we have no doubt that when the houses now building are assessed to the duty, the loss will be very consi siderably reduced. In the Property-tax, there is an improvement on the y e a r of 10,485/. This is the more satisfactory, as for Some time F ut we have had to notice a bte43y _~ .l l: .- 1... .. JULY 6, reduction in the proceeds of this impost, which is the index to the prosperity of the middle classes, as the Excise is to that of the working-men. The tide is at length turned, slowly enough in the first instance, but it is beginning to run more rapidly as the increase of no less than 80,1101. a quarter will testify. Should a more equitable apportionment be sanctioned by the new Parliament, so as to remove the deep sense of injustice that induces many persons to evade the impost, we have no doubt that the flood will flow very rapidly in the right direction. The Post-office still flourishes, thanks to the care and attention of ROWLAND Mu. and the judicious improvements introduced under his auspices. The increase on the year is no less than 150,000/., and that notwithstanding the additional facilities that are almost daily brought into operation. There is a falling off on the quarter of 10,0001., but we must recollect that the preceding period was that in which the opening of the Exhibition occurred, and that the extraordinary correspondence thereby occa sioned led to a very considerable augmentation of this branch of the revenue. In the Crown Lands there is an increase on the year of 70,0001., and on the quarter of 30,0001, and on Miscel. laneous of 140 615/. on the year, and 110,9481. on the quarter. Of the extraordinary items, we find that there is, under the head of Imprest and other Moneys, a decrease of 60,392/., but an improvement of 72 9181. on the quarter; while the Repayment of Advances were so much more punctually rendered as to exhibit an increase of 148,640/. on the y ear t and of 93,2431. on the quarter. On the whole, the results are very decisive as to the benefits of free trade, affording the greatest encouragement to a further advance in the same direction. The General Election may be said to have at length fairly commenced. This day not merely thirty-three, but actually fifty-one, places are opened to candidates for their nomination. Several of these places, moreover, are of peculiar and, some of them of extraordinary importance. Conspicuous, of course: amongst these constituencies are the metropolitan, and at the head of these is, of course, the con stituency of the city of London. By the proceed ings taking place this afternoon in the Guildhall of the capital the majority of the Liberal electors throughout the country will in a great measure be influenced. Of the happy result of these proceedings to the cause of reform there can be no sort of doubt whatever. Nevertheless, we cannot but fear that, with all their recent activity, the free trade possessors of the franchise have not sufficiently well reflected upon the importance of the result of the present elections to the interests of the nation at large both in the mother country and in her vast colonial possessions. We speak here in reference not only to the electors of the metropolis, but to the whole body of electors throughout the United Kingdom. With a considerable proportion of the multitude we conceive that it has not been borne clearly enough in mind that the consequences of the present struggle are likely to affect for good or evil the general institutions of Great Britain, not only for a while, but through a protracted futurity, not merely i❑ reference to the existing, but in regard to many future generations. Such, no doubt, must invariably be the case, more or less assuredly, upon every similar occasion—but never has it been more so than at the present moment when the question submitted to the country is extended from the triumph of either Whigs or Tories to the victory of Reform or of Retrogression. That, in fact, as we have before now intimated, is the problem remaining to be solved by the community through the medium of the new Parliament. Unfortunately for the Liberal interest, the antagonists of reform possess the advantage always accruing to those who chance to be in office at the period o f a dissolution. Unfortunately w e say, because it wouid be absurd to doubt that the circumstance of Lord DERBY being at the head of the Go vern ment at this juncture, will mate rially improve the position of his supporters on pre senting themselves to the population. Inasmuch as the opponents of the popular interests are in power at this moment, it is indisputable, therefore, that they possess an advantage over the Reformers generally, but more especially over the adherents of the late Administration. Yet, in spite of this, we feel not less firmly assured of the ulterior success of her MAZESTY'S Opposition. Whatever doubts may be entertained upon this bead will at any rate, we rejoice to think, be by no means of long continuance. Within a cow. paratively brief interval the uncertainty of affairs will be definitively removed. It will then be per ceived whether the people of these islands are prepared to forego the blessings of the course opened to them by the principal statesmen of England, who by their genius and their patriotism have, during the last quarter of a century, guided the operations of the British Government. Foremost among these distinguished Adminis trators, both in genius and in patriotism, without one moment's doubt, the Rigbt Honourable Baronet, who has presented himself to the electors of Carlisle in his capacity as one of the most illustrious of the Liberal candidates. Sir JAMes GRAHAM, by his many great Parliamentary achievements during the interval above specified, has earned for himself not merely the respect of all earnes t Reformers, but has entitled himself in a peculiar degree also to look for their gratitude and their ad miration. Hi s n ame bas appeared conspicuously upon all those memorable occasions where improvements have been introduced into the machinery of the Constitution. In 1827 he helped to repeal the Test thereby conducing in a ro und Corporation Acts — masks ble manner to the extension of freedom to the municipalities. In 1829—as he has nobly and con sistently done within the last three years—he took up a distinguished position, in defiance of very extraor dinary obloquy, in defence of the great principles of civil and religious liberty. In 1631 he assisted in carrying out those large measures of reform which were advocated at that time in the Upper House by Earl GREY, and in the Lower House by Lord Jon RUSSELL. And in 1835 be again did good service to the country by advancing anew the cause of munici pal improvement. In 1842 he commenced with Sir ROBERT PEEL those admirably graduated and com prehensive changes in the tariff, which in 1846 were Consummated by the crowning victory of the Free Trade principles. In short, there has been scarcely single reform of any importance whatsoever, which has not received during the last five-and -twenty year s the direct and energetic support of the Right Hon. Baronet. Upon his shoulders, moreover, has fallen the mantle of that illustrious statesman, who immeasur ably more than WALPOLE has entitled himself to be re membered as the Great Sir ROBERT. As the acknow ledged chieftain of the associates of Sir ROBERT PEEL it is obvious that Sir JAMES GRAHAM would c :tutnand the attention of his fellow-countrymen. B ut, added to the credit redounding to him as the "Panion and political successor of the departed fietatesman, are those honourable circumstances re '-w4ing--glory_ _upon himself personally—those cir cumstances which it has afforded us such peculiar satisfaction to enumerate. At one period it was con 'ddered that Sir JAMES GRAHAM bad acted treason- Siry o the Reformers, in taking o ffi ce under Roan; and identifying himself with the great Part y of the Conservatives. Viewing events with the caltallefiS of a retrospective scrutiny, it is impos sible at this hour to regret the course pursued on the occasion referred to by the Right Hon. Baronet the late Member for Ripon, and now a candidate for the representation of Carlisle. It enabled him to aid more effectually than at any previous time in intro enormous improvem en t s i n the clu eing Is series of Cousiitution. Those improvements conducted him back by a natural path to a fellowship with his former (Liberal) associates. With them he is now more than ever identified —and Carlisle will do honour to itself by paying that tribute to his services in the cause of reform which must to him be, at this crisis, of all the most acceptable namely, by electing him with an overwhelm ing majority as their representative. To morrow is fixed at Carlisle, as well as at fifty.eight other places, as the day of n omination. Gladly should we announce that th e i R Baronet had b een returned without opposition Hon. oppositi on in company with the other Liberal t cand. l da --e as we have the gratification of announc i ng this evening that a few hours since Messrs. GEACII and ELLIcE were in this manner returned as Members for Coventry, Sit PAGA Woop an 4 m r .l, • • • - ViGnoti for the city of 1852. Oxford, and Lord DUDLEY STUART and Sir B. HALL for Marylebone. Those six elections we regard as a propitious augury for the Liberal party—the news reaching us early on the first day of nomi nation. If such, however, cannot be the equally satisfactory result of the proceedings to-morrow at Carli,le, at any rate the Liberal electors there may redeem their position by returning Sir JAMES GRAHAM on the polling day by a majority worthy of a candidate so distinguished. Ripiclly as the days speed by, we shall now have to notify the results of the various elections throughout the country—elections which, with every moment's maturer reflection, we regard as more and more likely to turn out advantageously to the cause of the Reformers. 'THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Toe Corsaire has received a notification to the fol lowing (effect :—" The Minister of Police, considering that Article 32 of the organic law on the press of February 17, 1852, ssys---‘ After one condemnation for contravention or offence against the laws on the press, of the responsible editor of a journal, the Go vernment has the power, during the two mouths fol lowing that condemnati, n, to declare either its tem porary suspension or suppression'—Decrees, that the publication of the Coreaire is suspended for two months from the 4th instant." The Journal des De bats, after giving the above decree, says—" We are r, quested to state that the Corsaire will resume its publication as soon as the two months of suspension nave expin-d." The C . orsaire is a Legitimist journal, somewhat pungent in style. It is at present under prosecution, at the suit of M. DE LA GU bRONIERE, the editor of the Government organ, the Pays, for libel. The law for the definitive settlement of the budget of 1848, lately adopted by the Legislative Body and sanctioned by the Senate, is promulgated in the Moniteur of yesterday morning. Tne French fleet, which left Algiers on the 24th ult., was on the following day off Palma. On its passage it fell in with the English squadron under Admiral DUNDAS, consisting of seven sail of the line and six frigates. A smart shock of earthquake was felt at Algiers on the evening of the 29th. Some of the journals state that the Prince DB LA MosKowA has asked for permission to serve in the army of Africa, and that his request has been ac eded to. The Municipal Council at its last sitting had to deliberate on the reorganization of the bands of the National Guards. Although reduced to five corps, the bands will coat 18 000 t. a year more than when there were twelve legions on foot. This increase has been consented to in order to encourage the art and give assistance to artistes. The Municipal Council of Toulon has just voted an address of thanks to the PRESIDENT of the R!.- public for the solicitude which behasdi m sp u la nw yed in securing to that towncommunication a railway i with Marseilles. The Chamber of Commerce has also voted an address of a similar character ; and, in additio n , rtquests the P RINCE to visit Toulon during his approachin g tour in the South of France. When the news reac h e d C her b t , urg t h a t the Legis lative B o d y h ad adopted the Bill for forming a rail way to that town, a great number of houses, and the ship in the p ort, displayed the national flsg in token of rejoicing ; lunaivaiien, d anc i ng, and the firing of guns. Toe and at th e n i g h t t h ere was a g ener a l i l- Municipal Council in its last sitting voted an address of thanks to the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic, and it resolved that a bronze statue of the Emperor NAPOLEON should be erected on the Quai Napoleon. The Journal des D ibats states that forty-six Bishops out of the e i g h ty-one in France have signi fied their approb ition of the letter written some snort time since by the Bishop of ORLEANS, in favour of ems ploying the Greek and Latin classics as hand-books in education. "It may be remembered," says the Joirnal de Rouen, that, on June 6, th e agents of the State took possesion of the Chateau d'Eu and its dependencies, and, in consequence, that the sale of the furniture which was to take place the next day was prevented. We unders•and at present that the opposition then made to the sale has been removed, and that the fur niture will be sold by auction towards the end of the month." The accounts from the different manufacturing districts are pretty good. A fair amount of busi ness in the differe n t b ranches of s i lk, wool, and cot ton is said to be doing. The harvest promises well, although there are rumours of injury having been done to the wheat by the late long-continued rains, which may be exag , erated. The vine is reported in good condition, and there is, ou the whole, promise of an abundant year. The Marseilles journals state that for some days past, a vast number of funny &It, estimated at be tween four and five thousand, have been ol' that coast. The fishermen immediately united, and caught between 500 and 600 a day. The average weight of each fish was found to be between 30 and 401bs. The Bourse was firm, with not much b us i ness d o i ng.
