The Company is formed for the purpose of carrying into effect an arrangement which has been made for the pur chase from Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Company of their long-established business as Bill Brokers and Money Dealers, and of the premises in which the business is con ducted ; the consideration for the goodwill being £500,000, one-half being paid in cash and the remainder in shares of the Company, with .£l5 per share credited thereon—terms which, in the opinion of the Directors, cannot fail to in sure a highly remunerative return to the Shareholders. The business will be handed over to the new Company on the Ist August next, the vendors guaranteeing the Company against any loss on the assets and liabilities transferred. Three of the members of the present firm have con sented to join the Board of the now Company, in which they will also retain a large pecuniary intorest. Two of them (Mr. Henry Edmund Gurney and Mr. Robert Birk•. beck) will also occupy the position of Managing Directors, and undertake the general conduct of the business. The ordinary business of the Company will, under this arrangement, be carried on as heretofore, with the advan tage of the co-operation of the Board of Directors, who also propose to retain the valuable services of the existing staff of tho present establishment. _ _ The Directors will give their zealous attention to the cultivation of business of a first-class character only, it being their conviction that they will thus most effectually promote the prosperity of the Company and the permanent interests of the shareholders. Copies of the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association, as well as of the Deed of Covenant in relation to the transfer of the business, can be inspected at the Offices of the Solicitors of the Company. Applications for shares must be accompanied by the pay ment of a deposit of £2 per share, which will be received by Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, Tritton, T wells, and Company, 54, Lombard-street.

The ultimate contest for the Queen's Prize having passed over, with all its accompanying excitement, the proceedings here to-day have been of a very quiet and modified character, and although the weather was delightfully fine there was but a com paratively small sprinkling of visitors, and amongst them were two Indian Princes, Lord Ranelagh, Col. M'Murdo and family, Lord and Lady Grosve nor, Earl Spencer, &c. The only new contest on the programme of any interest was the annual match for the Chancellors' Challenge Cup, value £lOO, presented by the Duke of Devonshire, K.G., and by the Earl of Derby, K.G., for annual competition between the volun teers of the Oxford and Cambridge University corps (eight on each side), at the respective ranges of 20G, 500, and 600 yards. For this contest some of the best men are selected which each university can produce, and therefore a trial of skill between them is naturally one that is looked upon with great inte rest. Last year the prize was won by Cambridge, but this year the feeling appeared to be rather in favour of Oxford, who certainly at the first range gained the advantage, with promise for the future. The next competition was the second stage of the Albert Prize, a cup of the value of £lOO, to be shot for by winners in the first stage, seven shots each, at the respective ranges of 800, 900, and 1,000 yards. The Army Rifle Association Cup contest was renewed, as well as that of the Saturday Review and Spectator Prizes. The competition for the Enfield Wimbledon Cup was commenced this morning. It is of the value of £lOO, and the competitors are restricted to the winners of first prizes of the value of £2O and upwards in Enfield rifle cmpetitions at any of the Wimbledon meet ings previous to 1865, and the highest scorer in the International Enfield Match and Oxford and Cambridge Challenge Plate in 1864 ; five shots each at 200 and 600 yards. An entirely novel prize is given this year, to be shot for by five-grooved rifles, for a prize of £3O, divided into six prizes. There were numerous competitors for this prize, and samongst them eleven of the Ist }lants Mounted Rifle Volunteers, under the command of Captain Bower. From their peculiar costume of short grey tunics and black belts, Garibaldi hats and plume of black feathers, and long jack boots, they excited great attention, and indeed they were the observed of all observers. They appear to be very cool, and hb fi eurasrrtgphyr Corporalza Rifle ti b ve well skilled in the use of the rifle, for Mr. Gold yt their r , smith, one of the corps, managed to carry off the succe . ss, Talnledy received dd some highly very de lighted appeared a3t congratulations. rtodfett oeoska nt Sergeant ihee csoerc G pos o n, w d p3 o r f i; ztesh Sergeant rf E g ei d a i s n n C Ed ap h l i e b n u , rg l h 2 R th ifle Hants, Briga i de 3 ; ,£2; Private and B Corporal or r p u o c r e a , l o the Young,f Ist Somerset, £2. The Earl De Grey and Ripon co n t es t was re sumed, and brought to a conclusion. The contest for Capt. Ross's Prize appears daily to attract more attention, and the firing point is now at all times crowded, on account of the very novel conditions upon which it has been established. At the present time the Earl of Aberdeen has succeeded in making 44 marks within the limited period of five minutes, which is , a most extraordinary score when it is considered that between every two shots he has to run 100 yards.

One of the most interesting matches of the meet ing will take place to-morrow, for the possession of the Elcho Shield, shot for hitherto by eight picked men from England and Scotland, but this year there will be associated with them eight selected from Ireland, so that the contest will be truly an international one. The prize was instituted by Lord Elcho, and for the first two years, we believe, it was won by the English eight, and on the third year by the Scotch. The selection this year to represent the respective countries is as under : ENGLAND.—Capt. Heaton, Lieut.-Col. Halford, Capt. Bland, Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Banting, Mr. Can liffe, Mr. Martin Smith, and Lieut. Puichas. SCOTLAND.—Capt. Horatio Ross, Colin Ross, Edward Ross, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Hon. James Gordon, Capt. Mitchell, Sergeant Forbes, and Mr. Wilkin. IRELAND.-Mr. A. Barlow, Mr. J. Clarey, Mr. R. S. Greenhill, Major Leech, Mr. J. M'Kenna, Mr. J. Rigby, Mr. W. Rigby, and Mr. T. R. Walkinghame. For some time the contest for the Chancellor's Prize was nearly equal, but the wind was of a very shifty character, and after a well-fought battle the victory was again gained by Cambridge by 344 against 340, thereby winning by four marks only. The numbers last year were, Cambridge 415, Ox ford 370, Cambridge then winning by a majority of 45. Another honour has just fallen upon Mr. Edward Ross, for in the contest for the Enfield Wimbledon Cup, value £lOO, which was restricted to the win ners of first prizes of the value of £2O and upwards in Enfield competitions at any of the Wimbledon meetings previous to 1865, and the highest scorer in the Enfield match and Oxford and Cambridge Challenge Plate in 1864, Mr. Ross has carried off the prize. He made at the range of 200 yards 15, and at 600 yards 16 marks, making a total of 31. The following are the official scores : SECOND STAGE ALBERT. 800 900 1,000 Yards. Yards. Yards. Total.

Mr. Disraeli travelled down from London to be present at the banquet given on the oc casion, and the moment his carriage was seen entering the town from the Wolverton station of the London and North Western Railway the bolls of the old church rung out a merry peal, and the townspeople assembled about the door of the Swan Hotel to receive him and give him a hearty welcome. At the dinner the chair was taken by Mr. M. Knapp, and the Duke of Buckingham, Mr. R.P.Fitzgerald, Mr. R. R. Walpole, and a number of other leading gentle men in the county, sat at the head table with the county members. When the usual loyal toasts, " the Army and Navy and Volunteers," and " the Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese," had been given, The CHAIRMAN gave "The County Members," which was received with all the honours. Mr. Du PRE, who was very warmly received, returned , thanks, and in doing so said he had faith in the Conserva tive creed, in the soundness of Conservative principles, and in the energy and union which bound the Conservative party. Though they might meet with certain reverses and disappointments he felt convinced they would ultimately triumph over all, and defend all the most valuable institu tions of the country. (Cheers.) He should oppose stead fastly such a lowering of the franchise as would swamp such men as those who now composed the meeting whi c h — he addressedWar,l7sar), ant' as would enable mul titudes to overpower the men of intelligence, and so to un dermine the constitution under which wo had the happi ness to live. (Cheers.) When he last addressed the men who usually composed the dinner party at Newton-Peg nell, only two out of the three members for the county were Conservatives, but, thanks to the energy of the con stituency and the gallantry of his hon. friend Mr. Harvey, they had now all three Conservatives. (Hear, hear.) He was of opinion that till Lord Palmerston retired there would be probably no change of Government, but after that there would be. He had read a speech recently delivered Ly Mr. Walter, in which that gentleman said the Conservative partywere those who constitutionally checked the Ministry, —that they ought always to be in Opposition, and that the Liberal party ought always to have the patronage of the State. (A laugh.) Mr. Walter compared the contest be tween the two parties to a game of cricket, in which the Conservatives were always "out" and the Liberals always "in." However that might be, he ventured to think that if the Conservatives should get an innings they would show they they were as competent as their opponents to adapt the Government to the wants of the country. (Cheers.) Mr. DISRAELI then rose amid general and prolonged cheering. He said—lt is to me a source of great satisfaction to find myself in this town, in the centre of these Hundreds, and of a people who have so often proved themselves one of the great garrisons of the Constitutional force of this county. It is a necessary consequence of the geographical position of this part of the great and undivided county which we represent that we should not so often have an opportunity of personal communication with our consti tuents in the neighbourhood of Newport-Pagnell as with those in the other parts of the county ; and, therefore, I always look forward with interest to the northern dinner, whether it takes place before or after the election. But I must say it is to me a source of pleasure that this meeting has taken place after the election for Buckinghamshire and after our return ; for though meeting you is always agree able and satisfactory, still I think I can understand that a certain degree of anxiety must have influenced us if we had come hero to meet you as candidates and not as representatives. (A laugh and cheers.) We can, however, now fully enjoy the position which by your favour and kindness we have been placed in ; and I feel sure lam speaking the language of my colleagues as well as my own, when I say that we are proud of that position ; and I think that at a moment like the present, when there has been a great struggle throughout the country, which is still going on, and when an effort was made by a great and powerful Government to attack all the boroughs and counties of the kingdom, it must be a source of pride to us that the great and Undivided county of Buckingham has returnedthree Conservative members to Parliament, though at some previous elections we only secured two seats; so that Buckinghamshire has resumed that position which during so many great struggles it had occupied, and has set an ex ample to the rest of England which I think will be attended with some advantage. (Cheers.) Therefore I most sincerely thank you for your great kindness in -inviting me to meet you here to-day. I find in this neighbourhood some of my earliest and warmest supporters, and I can assure them that I shall always strive to deserve a continuance of their confidence. (Cries of "You well deserve it," and cheers.) My hon. friend has alluded to the probable consequences of the present general election, which has not yet terminated. I would say a word on that subject as he has referred to it, because I think it is one—so far as I can form an opinion from what I read in the public journals—on which con siderable misapprehension • exists. I cannot myself see that the result of the present general election, so far as it can be known at present, is one which should cause any diminution in the confidence of the groat Conservative party of this country ; and I think if we fairly consider the case I shall be able to show that there is very good reason for that opinion. shall not quarrel about numbers—l shall not make captious inquiries as to whether some un known individual who has entered Parliament for the first, and perhaps the last time—(a laugh)--may be a Liberal or a Conservative. I take a largo and general view and accept the returneof our opponents; and accepting the returns of our opponents, and forming an estimate with respect to the 100 seats which are not yet decided and the fate of which is not known, but respecting which there cannot be much doubt, I don't hesitate to say that when the new Parliament meets and settles down, the Conservative party in the House of Commons will not be inferior in numbers to that which supported Lord Derby after the general election of 1859. (Hear.) That, gentlemen, in itself would be a very considerable result, and really, if you examine the matter with a little closeness, you will see there is a very good foun dation for the opinion which lam giving. In the last Par liamentthere were 310 gentlemen who acknowledgedthem selves—at least formally—members of the Conservative party, and some may have supposed that if the general elections had gone in favour of the Conservative party they might have been so numerically strong that a change of Government would have instantly occurred. Now, if we had obtained some moderate accession to our numbers— say as much as would have been possible under ordinary circumstances—still it would not have been likely that we should have an absolute majority ; and I for one should be sorry to ye the Conservative party again raised to power without being in possession of a decided and absolute ma jority. But, gentlemen, there is a great difference between numbers on paper and effective, practical numbers. (Hear.) It is very true that in the last Parliament there were 310 hon. gentlemen who formally acknowledged themselves members of the Conservative party ; but whenever an occa sion arose which put at issue the existence of the Govern ment—whenever the Conservative leaders made an appeal to their followers to take the opinion of Parliament on any im portant question of policy—there were always 15 members of those 310 who invariably voted against their friends and supported the Government. (Hear, hear.) Therefore though on paper you had this large number of 310 members, when you came to bring your forces into action you had not more than 295. (Hear, hear.) But it is a very remarkable thing that at the present moment almost all those who were nomi nally Conservatives—who sat on the Conservative benches in the House of Commons, but invariably when there was an important question voted for the Government —have lost their seats. (Loud cheers.) Now, we are told if we take the figures of the Government, the Ministry have had a very great triumph—that already they have g ainedls members, and that they will gain more. Well, they may or they may not. It is possible they may g ain few more ; but let us admit, for the sake of arg.umenta that ev the Government gain 20 members in the election. Anci if they do gain 20 members in this election, you will find that when Parliament has met, and when the House of Commons has fallen into shape, the state of parties will be very similar to what it was when Parliament was dissolved. In the first place, it takes some time before Parliament gets into shape. There are such things as petitions—(a laugh) --and they must all be decided upon. In the last Parliament the Con servative party gained 10 seats more by petitions. As far as I can form an opinion from what has taken place, it is not likely that the petitions after this election will be less numerous than those presented after the last general elec tion; and from what I have observed in public life it ap pears to me that the majority of petition cases will always be decided against the Liberal party. (A laugh, and hear, hear.) And that is a necessary consequence of the fact that the Conservative party generally—though not always —depend on legal influences, while the Liberal party, since the dayei of Walpole, have generally depended on in fluences of a particular kind not yet acknowledged to be constitutional. (Renewed laughter and cheers.) It appears to me, therefore, that though as the immediate result of the election you may have , a diminution in the number of Conservative members, by this time next year, when Parliament has fallen into its natural shape, you will find the position of parties almost identical, as far as numbers are concerned, to what it was in the last Parlia ment. In the last Parliament we met with a force of 295 members ; we gained about 10 members by petitions, and we added another 10 by isolated contests during the six years of the existence of that Parliament. Tho practical result, then, will be this—that when the new House of Commons has assumed its proper form the political position of parties, as far as their influence is concerned, will be identical with what it was two months before Parliament was dissolved. Well, then, I say this without the slightest hesitation—that, considering the Liberal party; in one shape or another (a laugh), have been in power for so , PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. many years—considering that the present Government have all the advantage derivable from the possession of power and patronage of the country for the last six years— considering that their administration (and I have never denied it) on the whole has been an able and a successful administration—l say deliberately that Parliament having been dissolved by such a government, such an able and successful government, with all the rower and prestige of the State at its command during the last six years, it is a result unprecedented in the Parliamentary history of this country that, under such circumstances, a Conservative and constitutional Opposition, amounting to 300 votes, should be returned to the new House of Commons. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen,, the there must be some reaso n f or this, and the veryo net caseig thatoff for they it. ( Governmentear.) G . proiv.aenstitng hataltlhetrheemfusactts_ facts— granting be m that their finance has been triumphant—granti ng th at their foreign affairs have been carried on with rem ar k a bl e reaso n g s are the ablest of Ministe rs — granting success and ability—granting that the country appreciates their merits, and taking the fact that they are in posses sion of all the patronage and are likely to remain so—let us ask ourselves how it is that such numbers are returned in opposition to the Ministry. That is the question. (Cries of " Hear.") And the answer to it is this. That the coun try, though not anxious to disturb the present Government, formed as it is—though willing to ascribe to that Govern ment what may be ascribed to other causes, which a generous people will not go out of their way to inquire into (a laugh), though ready to give credit to the Government for having conduplagg jaars of the natio.p..in4.43iti*.ptprs43o , 47 -feels there is danger ahead, from which it is the interest of the present Administration to divert public attention, but which, with unerring instinct, the people perceive to _ _ _ . _ I arise from principles afloat in this country, and advocated • by men of great ability, which are adverse to our existing institutions. Though these opinions are not openly avowed by the Ministry, the people, with unerring in stinct, know that the advocates of these opinions are allies and supporters of the very Government who will not openly and ostentatiously avow their sympathy with them in their principles and sentiments. (Hear.) That is a danger ahead which the English people understand. (Renewed cries of " Hear.") Therefore, I say that though we may have an able Government—though their:supporters may give them credit oven for fine harvests and for great commercial enterprise—(a laugh)—though we may not wish to disturb them—we at the same time take the best security that the institutions of this country shall not be endangered by those who avow that it is their aim to change them, and those are the persons on whose patron age the existence of the present Government depends. (Cheers.) That, .1 think, is the real state of things in this country*. It is the most unwise thing a man can do to undervalue opponents, and I think this error is committed when gentlemen go about and say, "It is absurd to assert that the institutions of the country are in danger. Who is threatening the Church? Who is threatening us with Democratic assaults ? Don't for a moment let such gloomy ideas prevail. Remember that taxation has been reduced, and that peace has been preserved." lam all in favour of a reduction of taxation, and I am also for the preservation of peace ; but if I find persons of great political influence puttink forth political manifestoes which, if carried into effect, would destroy the free institutions to which we are indebted for our present position, I think it highly impor tant that we should be prepared to guard against such assaults. (Cheers.) It is all very well to say, " the institutions of the country aro not in danger ;" but on whom is the present Administration more mainly de pendent than on Mr. Bright ? (Hear, hoar.) It would be the greatest folly in the world to attempt to depreciate his talents or to look on his position as ono not worthy of be ing regarded by statesmen. As a member of the House of Commons ho is second to none in ability and reputation, and ho has told us with the greatest candour and clearness what his political opinions are, and what to his mind is the policy which this country ought to pursue —a policy which, if the present Government keep in office, shortly will be pursued. Ho has never disguised his objects. Ho says we must change the tenure of land in this country. But the tenure of land in this country is a vital principle of our society. He says he is opposed to ecclesiastical institutions in connection with the State, and that they ought to be put an end to. Mr. Bright says he is opposed to the law of primogeniture and that he would limit the power of entail—that, in fact, he would do away with those principles on which the laws relating to land in this country are founded. Mr. Bright never conceals his opinions. Gentlemen, these opinions will be prosecuted with vigour, and recommended to the country with an unrivalled eloquence. It is absurd, then, for small politicians who hold minor offices under Government to say that principles aro not advocated by persons of influence which if adopted would effect a revolution in England. (Cheers.) And observe the position of Mr. Bright. In the last Parliament he was isolated. 110 never had any man of eminence who sympathised with him except Mr. Cobden, and he, partly perhaps front the state of his health, and partlyfrom the characterof hismiud, rather acted as a drag. He rather mitigated Mr. Bright's opinions then encouraged I him to express them With boldness, or to act on them when uttered. But in the now Parliament Mr. Bright will be sur rounded by a band whose support, added to the influence of his own talent and eloquence, will make him a considerable power; and do you think that a Government who call them selves Liberal can really keep Mr. Bright like a servant employed in a pantry, or waiting in a hall while they are on the Treasury benches ? (Cheers.) Mr. Bright re presents a power which must be recognised in the course Of events ; and it would bo blindness on the part of the Con servative party to accept opinions which are now circu lated, and which it would be very convenient to the Govern ment if the people would accept—that there are not any persons in the country who wish to assail our institutions, or who have any other thought but the skilful administra tion of the finances and the preservation of peace. (Loud cheering.) It is, lam confident, from the instinct of the English people that there aro dangers ahead of this kind that you have this large Oppositionreturned to Parliament. There is no other mode by which you can explain it; and if my view be the correct one, when the new Parliament meets we shall find that there will be an Opposition scarcely less numerous than that in the late Parliament nominally was, while practically it will be at least as strong, and for business purposes much better combined. (Cheers.) I think wo should indeed be influenced by a panic which has had no foundation if, for a moment, we expressed an opinion that the power and influence of the Conservative party were diminished by these elections. On the contrary, they have been increased and confirmed, and, considering the circum stances under which these elections have taken place, we have gone through our trial with undiminished energy and with marvellous resources. (Hear, hear.) Well, gentlemen, if you look to the future, I cannot for a believe moment but it is a necessary consequence of the present state of public affairs that, in due time, you will have a Conservative Government, to which the administration of the country will be intrusted for a long time. (Much cheering.) But you never can have a Conservative GOvwerhnicmhenatniimmate less you preserve in this country the s this room, and which has sec ured Con servative members for Buckinghamshire, at a mome n t unscrupulous of Government England. ttathe spirit return of three when eh i a n g powerfulalall the countyand an constituencies attacking spirit which has a nimated y ou that will. secure the safety of this c ountr y , and p reserve those institution s w hi c h have made her really great. (Cheers.) That is the moral of the great exertions which you have made. I will not detain you at greater length. I repeat my thanks to you for your great kindness in having asked me to come here to-day to celebrate what I regard as the glorious triumph of returning three Conservative members for this great and undivided county--(a voice—" Wo are all proud to return you ;" cheers)—but after the remarks of my hon. friend I could not omit to avail myself of the opportunity afforded me of stating the real facts in connection with the results of the elections. To the Conservatives the result is this —that it ought to make them proud. They may well congratulate themselves. You are told that you are a powerful party, and want but little to command the Govern ment of the country, that if you had gained a small increase of your numbers you might have put the Government in a minority ; but I say. that you could not have held the government of the country without a considerable majority. Under the disadvantageous circumstances to which I have adverted, the Conservative party, even by the admission of their opponents, exercised a most important control over the conduct of the Government. Almost every ono of that band of nominal Conservatives, who were in reality oppo nents, have been discarded from the House of Commons ; and I believe that when Parliament meets again the Con servative party will. be better combined and more deter mined, acting in thorough unison and not inferior in num bers to what it was in the Last Parliament. Gentlemen, I believe that is the real situation. It is one which I think ought to encourage all those who aro depoted to our con stitution in Church and State, and I am sure that if the spirit which has animated us, and has animated the country generally throughout these elections, be cherished and maintained no danger can arise to that Constitution which has fostered this feeling, and Which we will over revere. (Loud cheers.) Mr. ILinvEr, in returning thanks, expressed his con currence in the remarks made by the two other county members on the Buckinghamshire, and expressed his o p inion that b y firm g ratifying state of p olitical affairs in and united action the Conservative party would be able to spread their principles still more and more throughout the country at large. (Cheers.) The next toast was "the Health of the Duke of Buck ingham." The Duke of BUCKINGHAM did not think this was an oc he aasvi have n b oe been w calledh c h a o n n y t member w o f o the r d. HTo The e s e of me ra tr r d s s oshouldthat branch of the Legislature were not dependent on these periodical elections ; still, it had a most important part to plty . in the Government and Conetitutiou of the country, because its duty was td control, might be, to urge the action of the questions. Having, then, to play could not but be a matter of extreme interest to the mem bers of the House of Lords to ascertain that the members returned to the House of Com!nous were men likelyto dis charge their duty with satisfaction to the country. He believed that the members for Buckinghamshire were men of that stamp. (Hear.) There were at present, as there had been some years ago, great party questions at issue ; but there were still unsettled some very important ques tions, which must be decided before long, and decided by the new Parliament. He believed the county of Bucking ham had returned good men to deal with those questions, and he believed the country was returning a good, safe, and sound Parliament. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DI; PRE proposed " The Chairman," and the latter gentleman returned thanks. Mr. DISRAELI then proposed "the Conservative elec tors," coupled with the name of Mr. Edmund Greaves, who returned thanks. " The Earl of Derby" and some other toasts having been duly honoured, the company separated, Mr. Disraeli being again. loudly cheered as he left the hotel. Arr. Gladstone in South Lancashire. LIVERPOOL, Wednesday. The arrival of Mr. Gladstone in South Lancashire has been the occasion of a remarkable outburst of enthusiasm. In Liverpool especially, the heart of the Conservative interest in that section of the county, his reception has been noteworthy. The anxiety to be present at the great meeting in the Amphitheatre on Tuesday night was shared by all classes of the community. The Liberal committee asserted, through the chairman of the meeting, that their opponents had not only possessed themselves of a large nnni), , off, tickptifraudulent preseritation, In=lia—Ztu—allrFtorgertrerets in imitation of those issued by the Liberal committee. At all events, a far greater number of persons pre sented themselves with tickets than the 2,000 who could be admitted ; and the scene around the build ing was excited and confused in the utmost. The Chancellor's greeting was most enthusiastic ; and it is confidently asserted by the oldest politicians in the neighbourhood that no such ovation has before been offered thereto any public man. The supporters of the right hon. gentleman are working with a will, and speak confidently of their prospects for to-mor row's polling. This afternoon Mr. Gladstone addressed a crowd of merchants on 'Change, from the window of Messrs. Littledale and Co.'s offices. In spite of the rain, which fell heavily at intervals, the crowd numbered • several thousands. Mr. GLADSTONE, who was received with immense cheering, said the pelting rain which had come down an hour' before and delayed his speech, and the bet ter weather which prevailed at that moment, he took for an omen of his own position. (Cheers.) Ho did not know whether they remembered a remark able song which had been used during the American struggle, and two lines of which ran— Old John Brown is dead But his soul is marching on. Well, he (Mr. Gladstone) lay dead in Oxford— (laughter)—but in some manner or other he believed that in South Lancashire he was marching on. (Laughter and loud cheers.) The name of Glad stone was represented on the lists of the new Par liament, at present, only by the member for Ches ter. (Cheers.) He was very well pleased with that representation as far as it went ; but he was not altogether yet content. (Ikar, hear.) He hoped that the name he now brought amongst them was no bad passport to their favour. (Cheers.) It had been well known in Liverpool for eighty years, and his earnest desire was that, whether it was still known there for a long time or a short one, it might always be known with honour. (Cheers.) He made bold to say that if he came to them as a de feated man, he did not come bearing that name tainted with dishonour arising from that defeat. (Loud cheers.) He had not been rejected by what they understood as " Oxford "—a large majority of the working teaching body of the university had voted in his favour. It was the influence of another elasS that had displaced him. He denied the justice of the manner in which that class had exercised its power, but he admitted their competency and right so to use it. lie had loved Oxford, and endeavoured to serve it, but thought the best mode of serving it was to keep its public arid political character in harmony with the mind and spirit of the nation. (Loud cheers.) For that he had been refused permission to continue in the possession of his honourablq and distinguished trust, and now he asked the Electors of South Lancashire whether the part he had taken in public affairs, and the position he held in the service of the crown, disqualified him for representing his countrymen in parliament. (Loud cries of " No, no.") The right hon. gentleman went on to wish success to his col leagues, the two other liberal candidates, and said that he had come before them at the last minute of the twelfth hour, and therefore must be short in what he had to.say. It was for the electors to choose. He contended that the party to which he belonged had been engaged in carrying forward a work of legislation for a quarter of a century which was for the promotion of purposes beneficial, not to a part, but to the whole body of the nation. (Cheers.) I n that time they had seen Liverpool doubled, trade extended, wealth increased, contentment spreading, intelligence enlarged, all classes of the community more closely and heartily united together. These happy fruits, due no doubt to the character of the people, due above all to the favour of Provi dence, had yet been due in a not inconsiderable degree to wise legislation and the judicious con duct of parliaments. They saw the verdict which was being rendered by th e country in all its districts, and he asked the electors to consider the names of those who were before them. He had nothing to say against the three respected and excellent persons who were termed the " old members"—(hear, hear) —but he declined to recognise on their part a pre scriptive right. Their friends told him in Oxford that he was unworthy to sit, because he held opinions opposite to theirs, and therefore the electors could not be surprised if he asked them for their votes without too much considering the effect it might possibly have on the seats of any of the old members. (Loud laughter.) He asked upon the broadest grounds whether they approved the history and course of recent legisation ? (Great cheering.) Whe ther they thought it had been of advantage to the country ? (Cheers.) That was the simple question ; it admitted of a simple reply, and humbly, but with some confidence, he entreated them to render that reply in the most intelligible form by the votes they gave at the poll. (Cheers.) It had been impossible for him to go through the usual processes of an election ; yet he felt a strong conviction that South Lancashire would not belie the work by which she had profited so much, and would not condemn the man who, upon grounds of national policy and of good done and labour performed for the nation, now respectfully solicited the suffrages which it was in her power, and her privilege, but also her duty and her solemn responsibility,,to give. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Gladstone, on proceeding to his brother's office, was followed by a large and enthusiastic crowd. POOR LAW INQUIRY IN ST. PANCRAS.—The Poor Law Board has informed the directors of the poor of St. Pancras that they have had under their consi deration the report of Mr. Farnal, their inspector, of the inquiry and h l hi m relative to the complaints of George Grant inmates of the workhouse, whi c h were made to Mr. IY.Eyncourt, magistrate at Clorken we ll P o li ce - c ourt, on their imprisonment in the separation ward eby henry James, of the workhouse. " The Poor Law Board express their disapproval of the course which was adopted by the direc tors in the cases of G. Grant and 11. James, such course being, in the opinion of the Board, highly objectionable. The Board remind the directors that on the 21st of August 1856, regulations for the management and government of the 'workhouse were issued by the Poor Lew Board, by which provision is made for the proper classification of the inmates, and for their diet, discipline, and punishment The board believe that if these regulations had been duly attended to, it would not have been necessary for them to investigate complaints such as those which were brought under the notice of Mr. D'Eyncourt. The board must ex pect that in future the rules and regulations adverted to will be strictly observed by the master and officers of the board. The board refrain from entering into any descrip tion of the room called the separation ward,' further than to remark that they think it a very objectionable ward for the continued occupation of any Inmates, and that, the . statement rehitfre to it in theletter sent to Mr. D'Eyn court by the pauper George Grant is not overdrawn."
